Covasna-Romania-Magic place, magic castle "Daniel Castle"
January 1, 1970
What can I tell you? I have become passionate about castles in the past few years and my goal was to visit as many as possible, since our country provides this pleasurable opportunity.
The great Castle Daniel
My journey to Daniel Castle, located in Talisoara, Covasna County, Romania, started on Daniel’s birthday, my boyfriend, with a surprise I organized especially for him, without him suspecting anything. It seemed wonderful to me that I found this castle-hotel, having his exact name. We left the crowded Bucharest behind on Friday afternoon and as soon as we took road E60 and we were approaching the destination, we could foresee a wonderful, light green landscape, untouched by human hand.
Soon after he castle gates were opened for us, we were astonished by the silence within, which surrounded us and filled us with goodness and peace, on top of all the wonderful sunsets we saw all the evenings we spent there and which were inviting us to love and to enjoy beauty!
We stayed in the most beautiful and spacious room, “The Swan suite” (because the swan was the emblem of the Daniels); it was painted in the colours of love, red and white, decorated with wood furniture, which complemented the room nicely, giving it a Bohemian touch. For everything to be perfect the room had a fireplace, which we lit every evening and where we enjoyed a glass of home made red wine (chosen from the restaurant’s menu).
Food & drink
The restaurant combines traditional local dishes with modern ones. Here we had some of the most fabulous combinations (such as salad soup with smoked meat, wrapped in mini rolls, trout with pickled cabbage and pomegranate, pear stuffed with jam and seasoned with chocolate, a true rainbow of tastes for us, carefully presented by the waiter).
Here I also enjoyed the best traditional brandy, so fragrant and rare because its preparation was a long process and the older it is the better it is; the waiter offered us a tip, he told us that we can rub it on your wrist, and if the perfume persists, this means the brandy is of the best quality (and I did so).
Breakfast was also very heavy, without being the regular Swedish buffet. On the contrary, each table had its own buffet, loaded with home made dishes, including bread, Sambucus juice, a true culinary feast we could not resist. The entire weekend we preferred to drink our coffee in nature, in the courtyard, where we enjoyed the greenery surrounding us, the silence and the beautiful nature, feeling like real landowners of noble rank.
Dinners at the castle were absolutely wonderful, the music could be heard in the background, the culinary delights and fine drinks were simply spoiling our taste buds, everything was completed by silence and goodness, and that made you feel comfortable, like at home, in your own living room.
Hand in hand with the nature
We spent the afternoon in nature; I chose to visit Varghis Gorge, a 10 kilometer walk from our hotel. These gorges are filled with caves, rare species of flowers, spectacular rocks carved by water, birds that gave us a musical show, following us during the hike. Unfortunately the rainy weather didn’t allow us to advance further on the path, so we had to go back to the hotel, where we were about to receive a well deserved massage after our adventure, an unusual experience though for a secluded place such the one we were.
In the last day we visited the castle of Daniel of Romania, as our host suggested it. This mother castle was also located in Varghis and it spreads on a big area, behind which a river flows smoothly. Unfortunately this castle is abandoned and slowly decaying, although the authorities keep promising this too will become a hotel-castle. Still, this is a long process.
We wrapped up the weekend with a history lesson and we visited Rupea fortress, one of the oldest archaeological sites in Romania, stronghold that once ensured the city from above; you can still see its past glory in its ruins and the position it still has today.
It was an amazing trip, full of surprises and beautiful.
Because this is my first article i want to dedicate to my lover Daniel, the person who inspire me in the last year and from now on.

The test flight took place on October 9th through 10th at Aberdeen Proving Ground. The Ion Tiger fuel cell development system team is led by NRL and includes Protonex Technology Corporation, the University of Hawaii, and HyperComp Engineering. The program is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR).

The electric fuel cell propulsion system onboard the Ion Tiger has the low noise and signature of a battery-powered UAV, while taking advantage of hydrogen, a high-energy fuel. Fuel cells create an electrical current when they convert hydrogen and oxygen into water, with only water and heat as byproducts. The 550-Watt (0.75 horsepower) fuel cell onboard the Ion Tiger has about 4 times the efficiency of a comparable internal combustion engine and the system provides 7 times the energy in the equivalent weight of batteries. The Ion Tiger weighs approximately 37 pounds and carries a 4 to 5 pound payload.
Small UAVs are growing in importance for naval missions, as they provide capabilities ranging from surveillance collection to communication links. Electric UAVs have the additional feature of being nearly undetectable from the ground. Due to the high energy in the fuel cell system onboard the Ion Tiger, it is now possible to do long endurance missions with an electric UAV, thus allowing a larger cruise range and reducing the number of daily launches and landings. This provides more capability while saving time and effort for the crew.
In 2005, NRL backed initial research in fuel cell technologies for UAVs. Today, says NRL's Karen Swider-Lyons, "the long endurance flight was made possible by the team's research on high power, efficient fuel cell systems, lightweight hydrogen-gas storage tanks, improved thermal management, and the effective integration of these systems."
Fuel cell technology is being developed to impact the operational spectrum of technologies including ground, air and undersea vehicles and man-portable power for Marine expeditionary missions. "The Ion Tiger successfully demonstrates ONR's vision to show how efficient, clean technology can be used to improve the warfighter's capabilities," comments ONR's Michele Anderson.

I do not have an FN 509, but I have an FN FNS.
While it has a lot of positive aspects, IMO, it was a few negatives. The worst one is the obnoxious > 7 lbs trigger pull. I guess the lawyers in Belgium have even more power than in Austria.
I could shoot the gun, but it is painfully annoying to wrestle that trigger. I was on the brink to go and trade it in an LGS.
After watching several videos on how to disassemble the FNS and the 509, I concluded the relevant for this thread internals are the same or similar. So I decided to risk it and get the M*CARBO 509 kit for my FNS.
The installation was effortless following the videos. Everything fits perfectly. The original sear spring was with an older design - it hooks in a small hole in the sear. However, the new one works just fine. It uses the other side for support.
The results are fantastic; the trigger pull weight dropped by 2.5 lbs.
I believe it can drop even more (say 1/2 lbs) if I polish the internals properly.
When I disassembled the gun, I was amazed by how roughly machined are some of the parts. The striker has a hard time coming out of the channel, and the sear leg was scratching on the sear cage(or whatever its name was). I took out some of the roughness, but I did not spend much time on it, as I was very eager to finish the spring installation.
To be honest, I have not had the chance yet to fire the gun at the range. In the worst possible case, if I am getting light primer strikes, all I need to do is put back the lawyer friendly original striker spring. If that brings the trigger pull weight by a pound, it is still a pound and a half reduction.
The bottom line, this kit is a must for the FNS owners. Probably the same is true for the 509 owners, but I have no first-hand experience of how far the lawyers were able to influence the trigger pull.
To preempt the FN fanboy comments - it takes zero effort to ignore the thread and continue using the stock springs.

Sources of research literature
- Systematic reviews are really important sources of research literature on a specific topic. The Cochrane Library (www.thecochranelibrary.com) is the best source of systematic reviews on health care effectiveness and the Social Care Institute of Excellence (www.scie.org.uk) produces reviews that evaluate existing research and literature about particular aspects of health care.
- Journals that contain comprehensive research articles such as: British Journal of Learning Disabilities, British Journal of Radiology, International Journal of Therapy and Rehabilitation, Journal of Family Therapy, Health and Social Care in the Community, Physiotherapy, Research on Social Work Practice, Journal of Advanced Nursing, Intensive and Critical Care Nursing, Journal of Clinical Nursing.
- Journals that specialise in reviewing research such as: Cochrane Reviews (www.cochrane.org), Effective Health Care Bulletins (www.york.ac.uk/inst/crd/ehcb.htm), Evidence-based Medicine (www.open clinical.org/ebm.htm), Evidence-based Mental Health (www.ebmh.bmj.com), Evidence-based Nursing (www.ebn.bmj.com), Journal of Social Service Research (www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~content=t792306968~db=all).
- Published research reports and reviews from various organisations such as: government departments, professional bodies, university departments (e.g. University of York Social Policy Research Unit, www.york.ac.uk/inst/crd/ehcb_em.htm), research units, specialist units, reports for the funders of research (e.g. National Institute for Health Research, https://www.nihr.ac.uk/research-and-impact/research/), charities and voluntary organisations (e.g. Joseph Rowntree Foundation Reports, www.jrf.org.uk/publications).
- Conference papers that have been produced as a result of a national or international conference and put into a single document, journal article or are available online.
- Specialist books that report research studies on a specific subject topic. Usually the books are edited and each chapter has a different author who has undertaken research in the subject area.
- Theses and dissertations that are produced as the result of research undertaken for a degree. These are usually available at the university where the degree or doctorate was undertaken and can be borrowed for a short while or may be available online.
Other useful information resources
- Online databases that can be used to search for research and evidence such as: Allied and Complementary Medicine, Applied Social Services Index and Abstracts (ASSIA), British Nursing Index (BNI), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Cochrane Library, Index to Theses, The Excerpta Medical Database (EMBASE), Medical Literature online (MEDLINE), National Research Register (NRR) Psychology Information (PsychINFO).
There are many internet sites that act as gateways to the large amount of information available. Local health and social care libraries will be able to give up-to-date information, for example:
- The King’s Fund Library, which is concerned with health care and organisational management (www.kingsfund.org.uk/library).
- National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for clinical guidelines, technology appraisals and public health guidance (www.nice.org.uk).
- Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (CRD) at York keeps a database of good-quality research reviews of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of health care interventions, and the management and organisation of health services. It also keeps a database of published economic evaluations of health care interventions (www.york.ac.uk/inst/crd/).

SEATTLE (AP) — Since last November, a library at the University of Washington has featured a different kind of vending machine. It’s stocked with ibuprofen, pregnancy tests and the morning-after pill. Such machines are increasingly popular on college campuses around the country since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and ended constitutional protections for abortion last year. Advocates say there are there are now 39 universities in 17 states with the machines. At least 20 more are considering them. It’s part of a push on college campuses to ensure emergency contraceptives are cheap, discreet and widely available, as some states enact abortion bans and others look to enshrine protections.

The comments made by Antoine Griezmann's former advisor, Eric Olhats, in France Football this month had repercussions across Barcelona.
Olhats accused Messi of running a "regime of terror" at Barça, which led to the Argentina forward saying on Wednesday that he is "tired of always being the problem at this club."
Ronald Koeman said people, including Olhats and the media for drumming up the controversy, were showing a lack of respect towards Messi.
Griezmann, meanwhile, has always maintained that his relationship with Messi is good and sources close to the French forward say he's not spoken to Olhats in years.
Olhats backed that up on Saturday in an open letter in Marca in which he backtracked on his comments and confirmed he has never spoken to Griezmann about Messi.
"I want to make it very clear that Antoine Griezmann NEVER informed me about this subject," he wrote. "The comments that I made in France Football were based on a situation that was put forward by various media outlets during last season.
"I understand that my comments are subjective and that I could even be mistaken. For that, I am the only one responsible.
"With this letter, I hope to put an end to this subject. I also want to make clear that I don't agree with the comments made by the player's uncle about the supposed differences between Griezmann and Messi.
"For a while, specifically since three years ago, I haven't maintained a relationship with Antoine, nor do I form part of his family's inner circle, despite what some have said in the media."

The Corporation is a popular GOP target. It has been in the funding-reduction bulls-eye in the past, but always has survived. The current effort, however, is far more serious. It should be derailed.
The de-funding bill, part of the effort to whack $60 billion from the budget, still must pass the Senate. That seems unlikely, but public broadcasting fans can't assume that is the case. They must act.
Given the circumstances, those who believe that the nation's public broadcast stations provide a valuable service and a useful return on the dollar should make their desires known to their U.S. senators. Better that than take a chance that the CPB will fall victim to the GOP's long-standing desire to eliminate or sharply diminish what many Republicans believe -- incorrectly -- is a left-leaning organization. An objective view offers a different picture.
More than half of Americans use the public media each month. A broadcasting landscape without or with financially emasculated stations would be bleak. Paul Grove, president and CEO of WTCI, which counts on federal support for about 29 percent of its annual budget, offers a picture of what his station's schedule might look like without federal support. It wouldn't be familiar or attractive.
"We would not be able to carry "Sesame Street," "PBS Newshour" and all the other PBS favorites that our viewers appreciate. We'd also have to re-examine our entire mission as an educational station," Grove said. Indeed, the community would be the poorer if familiar and well-loved national and local programming had to be cut.
Congressional budget-cutters unfairly demonize public broadcasting. They might not approve of it, but the general populace does. The authoritative Roper Poll reports that Americans, for the seventh year in a row, say public broadcasting is the most trusted and unbiased institution among nationally known organizations and the most trusted source of news and public affairs among broadcast and cable sources. That approval, if Republicans care to read the poll, crosses all ideological and politically partisan lines.
Opponents of public broadcasting conveniently overlook such information. There's no argument here that the federal budget needs to be cut, but gutting public broadcasting will do little to achieve that goal. Numbers crunchers say elimination of public radio and TV funding would reduce the current budget deficit by less than three-thousandths of one percent. There are bigger and far, far better targets.
The effort to cut or eliminate federal funds for public radio and TV is short-sighted and contrary to public wishes. The Senate should resoundingly reject the effort to do so.

Risner sentenced to jail for meth possession, home invasion
A Jonesville man, who pleaded guilty to third-degree home invasion and possession of methamphetamine on Aug. 13, was sentenced to 12 months jail and three years felony probation Monday morning in the 1st Judicial Circuit Court.
Brent Jacob Risner, 22, entered into the plea bargain in exchange for numerous other charges across three files being dismissed. Those charges included assault with intent to murder, first-degree home invasion, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, second-degree home invasion, carrying a concealed weapon and resisting arrest.
In regard to the methamphetamine admission, Risner said on Aug. 13 that on or about Nov. 24, 2020, he was a passenger in a car on Concord Road when he jumped out of the moving vehicle and ran to a nearby home, asking the homeowner to call his aunt for him.
“I had jumped out of a vehicle and was at one of the houses along the road,” Risner said. “They had called law enforcement and they found me. My mind was really jaded. I was really paranoid.”
Risner admitted to using methamphetamine on that November 2020 day and possessing a small amount of the drug in a cigarette pack in his pants pocket which police found and confiscated. Due to COVID-19 restrictions at the Hillsdale County jail, Risner was not arrested on that day, but a warrant was issued.
Then, on Jan. 16 in a separate incident, Risner said he went to a residence in Hillsdale to retrieve some of his property that had been allegedly stolen by Matthew Shankster.
He and Shankster began fighting after Risner kicked in the door.
“It was just an assault that took place, his girlfriend was there on the phone with the police. I got scared and left the house,” Risner said.
Risner denied stabbing Shankster during the altercation as he had been originally charged with and instead said Shankster had thrown a coffee pot during the fight and it had broken, causing Shankster’s lacerations.
“I did not stab him,” Risner said.
Two others arrested as co-defendants in the case have already pleaded to lesser crimes and have been sentenced.

|Birth name||Roni Bohobza|
July 9, 1962 |
|Origin||Tel Aviv, Israel|
|Genres||Jazz, Bebop, Latin jazz|
|Associated acts||Amy London
Roni Bohobza grew up in Dimona, the youngest of seven children, one of two born after the family emigrated from Tunisia in 1955. His surname was legally changed to Ben-Hur via ritual at age 10. He performed in clubs and wedding bands in Tel Aviv from the age of 19. He arrived in New York City in 1985 and began playing jazz clubs there. He spent a lot of time at Barry Harris's Jazz Cultural Theater and met many of the great living jazz artists there.
Ben-Hur's experience as an educator goes back to 1981, when, while still in Israel. Since coming to the United States he has set up jazz music programs at Professional Performing Arts School, The Coalition School for Social Change, and other New York area high schools. He created a model jazz program for use in New York City high schools at the request of Bette Midler. He began the jazz program at Lucy Moses School in 1992, and remains there.
Ben-Hur first began a jazz camp in Saint Cezaire, Côte d'Azure, France with Santi Debriano. With Nilson Matta, he began a jazz and Brazilian music camp in Bar Harbor, Maine, both intended for adult jazz amateurs. Ben-Hur is also the founding director of the jazz program at the Lucy Moses School at Kaufman Center in Manhattan, where he educates others about the genre.
His third CD, Anna's Dance, was rated by The Village Voice as one of the best jazz CDs of 2001. All About Jazz called him "a virtuoso guitarist with impeccable swing." In 2000, he won the Jazziz reader poll for "Best New Talent."
His 2004 book, Talk Jazz: Guitar from the Mel Bay Talk Jazz series is now out of print and much sought after by jazz guitarists. The book includes a CD with a removable guitar track of Ben-Hur performing the exercises in the book with Tardo Hammer on piano, Earl May on bass, and Leroy Williams on drums.

David M. Ewalt of Forbes commented on the 2011 release of Ikusa: "The game formerly known as Samurai Swords (and before that as Shogun) gets another makeover. Still the same strategy classic where players compete to rule feudal Japan, but the box, board and pieces have been updated.
This is a beautiful game.

Speaker Carl Heastie, Environmental Conservation Committee Chair Steve Englebright and Health Committee Chair Richard Gottfried today announced the Assembly will hold public hearings on water quality in New York State in early September.
"Recent reports of water contamination in municipalities across the state have highlighted the need for a thorough review of measures to ensure clean and healthy water in our communities," said Heastie. "Ensuring a safe water supply for our children and families is a top priority for us."
Englebright and Gottfried will take testimony at two public hearings in early September related to water contamination situations in various communities across New York State. The hearings will be held in Albany and Suffolk County. The Assembly will review the causes and response to the known contaminations as well as measures to prevent future occurrences.
"Recent events around the nation and here in New York have shown harmful contaminants in the water supply. Drinking water should be safe and clean. Disturbing discoveries of harmful contaminants highlight the need for preventative measures to be put in place to protect our water purity," said Assemblyman Englebright.
"Ensuring the safety of drinking water in this state is paramount," said Assemblyman Gottfried. "We're going to examine the issue of water contamination and assess our current laws and public policies on these matters, and how they're working, to protect public access to safe, clean water."

Figure 1. Nigerian dwarf buck.
I am the proud owner of one Nigerian dwarf dairy goat buck. His registered name is Stage Dragon SP Chardonnay but we call him Charlie. He’s a sweetheart and just a little “bucky” this time of year. Wait until fall and stand downwind of him and you’ll know what I mean. Anyway, owning a buck is not for the faint of heart, but my children raise 4-H dairy goats and if you want milk you have to breed the does to a buck so they have kids. (Artificial insemination is a little tricky in goats and so yes, it’s easier for me to house a couple bucks.)
Figure 2. Nigerian dwarf doe and three newborn doelings.
The pairing between Charlie and my son’s doe, Dandelion, last fall resulted in 3 doelings (female baby goats) in April, but our previous pairing gave us a buckling (male baby goat). We didn’t need him as a buck so we castrated him and kept him as a wether to keep Charlie company.
When we moved to Nebraska this spring the wether went off to freezer camp. As a wether he was never registered and would have been a hassle (mostly monetary) to transport across state lines. After we moved we bought another buck to keep Charlie company and to use for breeding to Charlie’s doelings in the future.
That is the reality of livestock in the Fisk house and the children know it. We’ve raised and eaten rabbits, roosters, unfriendly chickens, and now dairy goats. Luckily my family likes to eat and I like to experiment in the kitchen.
I challenge you to try goat meat (it is the world’s most popular meat – check out this blog post if you don’t believe me). I’ve used ground goat in recipes that call for ground lamb like Shepherd’s Pie and as a substitute for ground beef in meatloaf. Tonight I decided to think outside the box and play with some of the spices in the cupboard as well as goat stew meat to come up with the following recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Indian-Inspired Slow-Cooked Goat Stew
Yield: 6 Servings
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground garam masala
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds goat stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
4 Tbsp olive oil, divided
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 Tbsp dried red bell pepper
1 Tbsp dried green bell pepper
2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 cups water
1-15 1/2-oz can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained
2 fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
1-14 1/2-oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cinnamon sticks
1 Tbsp fresh ginger paste
2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
Mix first 5 ingredients in large zip top bag. Add goat, seal, and shake to coat.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add goat to skillet and cook until browned on all sides, turning occasionally. Add 2 more tablespoons oil to skillet between batches. Transfer goat to slow cooker after each batch.
Add onion and carrot to drippings in skillet. Reduce heat to medium and sauté until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, peppers, bouillon, and water and bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits.
Transfer to slow cooker and add garbanzo beans, peaches, tomatoes, cinnamon sticks, and ginger. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on low 8 hours, stirring occasionally.
Remove cinnamon sticks. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with chopped fresh basil. Serve over cooked rice or couscous.

We all know not to judge a book by its cover, but we’re all guilty of judging people by the cover of the book they are reading. This is especially true on public transport where confined for a set period of time our minds are free to run wild – how often have you mentally mapped out a possible love affair based on spotting a much-loved title among the armpits of fellow commuters.
Ourit Ben-Haim has indulged this idea with the Underground New York Public Library site, a project that is conceptually ambitious but beautifully simple in execution. Travelling the NYC subway she snaps pictures of people reading and posts them along with the title of the tome on her site.
She says the library: “freely lends out a reminder that we’re capable of traveling to great depths within ourselves and as a whole,” and what she’s built is a collection of pictures that speak to our relationships with great writing, with books and with each other.
There’s some regulars– a Sunday morning Bible post, a Tuesday translation, a mystery book her readers help identify on a Friday and her E-reader post but on the whole it’s all about eclecticism, of our tastes, passions and prejudices – with works ranging from Nietzsche to Star Wars, Malcolm X to Mitt Romney.

A “secure quantum link” has just been established between two Chinese cities more than 500 kilometers apart, with no need for intermediate encryption. Closer the development of a quantum internet network
A new step in the development of the network quantum internet of the future. The one that, at least in theory, should guarantee us ultra-secure communications, very fast connections, even more precise time synchronizations: a real revolution, which promises to radically change the way we exchange information. Today’s news is that a team of Chinese scientists has managed to establish one secure quantum connection between two Chinese cities 511 kilometers apart without the need for an encrypted intermediary in between. The details were published in the magazine Nature Photonics.
The key concept of the development of a quantum internet network lies in the phenomenon ofentanglement, O quantum correlation, according to which two or more (quantum) particles are intrinsically linked together in such a way that each measurement operation carried out on one of them is instantly reflected on the other, or on the others. Let’s imagine, for example, that we have two quantistically correlated photons: by measuring the state of one of them, it is possible to deduce (and modify) the state of the other too, regardless of the distance that separates them. This mechanism, among other things, underlies the quantum cryptography: the particles entangled they can be used to create secret keys with which to decode the information, with the certainty that any undue attempt to access or tamper with sensitive data would lead to their irreparable destruction.
Already in previous studies, scientists had shown how it was possible to create a pair of photons entangled and transmit one of the two to a receiver, effectively creating a link based on a quantum key. In today’s experiment, the team of Qiang Zhang, of the University of Science and Technology of China, has extended the maximum distance of such a link by using a cable and an intermediate point that does not read the data, but only checks its integrity at the time it was sent. It works like this: at the ends of a fiber optic cable there are lasers, which send two beams of photons against each other. When two photons of the two beams are in phase (i.e., simplifying, when the peaks of the relative light waves are aligned) and meet at the intermediate point, this “Warns” both the sender and the receiver and the signals coincide and these exchange the quantum key: in this way thehub central does not know the content of the message, but only if and when the two signals correspond.
An experiment recently conducted in Cambridge, UK, had already succeeded in showing the functioning of this system over a distance greater than 600 km, but in that case it had all happened in the laboratory; this time, however, the connection took place at 511 km real, between the cities of Jinan and Qingdao, as the authors of the work proudly point out: “In the laboratory you have a controlled environment, with an air conditioner that keeps the temperature stable. In the real world it is more difficult, since the phase of the photons can change as the temperature changes “. Now the aim is to exceed the thousand kilometers. Who knows who will succeed first.

UK : government to recruit 2,500 new prison officers after warning cuts are leaving jails unsafe
The Government has announced cash for an extra 2,500 prison officers as those working on the front line warn the safety of jails is threatened by falling staff numbers and cuts.
The £104m announcement comes a day after the chair of the Prison Officers’ Association (POA) warned prisons were turning into a “bloodbath” due to staff cuts and low morale.
The number of prison officers has been falling since 2010, with an uptick in recruitment of the last year – meaning the latest announcement is effectively an admission that staff numbers have been reduced too quickly.

Gardens of Hope: A Novel
Can two men from the same city but segregated worlds maintain a connection during a time in US history that not only brands one of them as the enemy but denies that a love such as theirs could even exist?
On the surface, Jack appears to have all a man in World War II era 1941 could want with his solid middle-class background, upcoming college graduation, and the perfect, devoted fiancee. But one night when he accidentally stumbles upon a shadow life of men who desire other men in a Downtown Los Angeles park, he begins to realize exactly what has always left him with a feeling of emptiness
Despite the constant danger of being arrested by vice cops, Jack continues to visit the park every chance he has to feel a connection, no matter how fleeting, with another man. One night he meets a handsome and charismatic Japanese-American, Hiro, who appears to want more than a quick encounter, and Jack surprises himself by starting to truly fall in love for the first time.
However, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt issues Executive Order 9066 and orders the mandatory relocation of over 100,000 Japanese-Americans, who have never been charged with any crime, to far flung internment camps sites. Jack and Hiro suddenly find themselves torn apart before their secret, fledgling romance can blossom.
Desperate to find and reconnect with Hiro, Jack accepts a high school teaching position at an internment camp in the California desert, Manzanar. There, surrounded by armed guard towers and a prison-like environment, Jack begins to fully realize the injustices being faced by Hiro and other Japanese-Americans during one of the most controversial times of United States history.

Sunday, 07 May 2023 | PNS | DEHRADUN
The activists of the Mahila Congress held a massive demonstration in Dehradun on Saturday. Led by the Uttarakhand president of Mahila Congress, Jyoti Rautela, the marched to the Secretariat to register their protests on the violent behaviour of minister Prem Chand Agarwal, Ankita Bhandari murder case, rising inflation and unemployment, and justice for the women wrestlers allegedly sexually harassed.
Attacking the BJP government, Rautela said that it has been trying to save the people who should have been behind the bars. Referring to the Ankita Bhandari murder case, she alleged that the culprits were being shielded by the State government as they belong to the ruling party. “The name of the VIP involved in the murder case should be revealed so that justice is done in this case,” she said. She also mentioned several other murder cases where the culprits have been eluding justice because of the connivance of the BJP leaders. Rautela also referred to the alleged sexual harassment done to the women wrestlers by a BJP MP by stating that the women wrestlers who have brought laurels to the country are now agitating in Delhi.
Hitting out at the BJP government in the State, she said that the ruling party leaders were involved in the string of recruitment scams involving Uttarakhand Public Service Commission, Uttarakhand Subordinate Services Selection Commission and others. She also said that the BJP is immersed in corruption, and its leaders are involved in Vidhan Sabha backdoor recruitment scam.
On the issue of the cabinet minister Prem Chand Agarwal seen thrashing a youth in public in Rishikesh, Rautela said that he should have been dismissed from the cabinet immediately after this incident by the chief minister. “The minister’s action amounts to a blatant attack on democratic rights and values. This is a bad omen for democracy,” she said.
Rautela alleged that the Narendra Modi government is using the government agencies to harass the leaders of the Congress party. She added that each and every worker of the Congress party is standing with Rahul Gandhi. The vice president of Mahila Congress Asha Manorama Dobriyal, Urmila Thapa and others were present on the occasion.


Black Buccaneer at Chessington has been undergoing more maintenance than usual over the past few months. The ride is yet to open this year with the pirate ship still outside sea storm today. However, the frame that holds the ship has returned to the park repainted and ready to be put back together over the next few weeks.
Possibly ready for May half term which is coming up. In the pit of the ride, more frame work can be seen. Also recolored grey rather than the black which has been seen over the past few years. Those that remember that far back will remember that it used to be colored brown.


Swansea Council cleaners, caterers and care workers in line for significant pay rise
COUNCIL cleaners in Swansea could be in line for a significant pay rise.
Caterers and care workers are also among staff in the lowest paid section of the local authority's payroll set to receive a pay rise.
Almost half the council's staff will see an increase in pay, but at the same time a total of 18 per cent of workers within the authority will see their pay cut.
More than a third of council workers will not see any change to the amount they take home every month.

The move comes as Swansea Council, like every other authority in the UK, has to introduce Single Status, which is a national agreement reached in 1997 to improve terms and conditions of service for employees and remove unfairness in pay and reward arrangements.
The authority will be sending out letters detailing the latest proposals to individual members of staff this week.
The letters will inform staff about their job evaluation scores.
Council workers are not being asked to make any decision at this stage.
Swansea Council deputy leader councillor Christine Richards said: "We've now reached an important milestone in Single Status.
"For the first time all employees will find out their proposed pay grade.
"More than 80 per cent of staff will not lose pay and we've managed to reduce the number of staff losing pay.
"We've also recently agreed to introduce a Living Wage which means more than 3,000 post-holders who are among our lowest paid staff will receive a pay increase to £7.45 an hour."
Ms Richards said the council was doing all it could to protect staff facing a loss in pay and added: "We are concerned about staff losing pay and we're working to protect them.
"They'll be placed at the top of their new grade and will also receive pay protection to help cushion the loss.
"The level of pay protection is still being negotiated with trade unions."
The final outcome of proposed pay grades is subject to negotiation with unions.
A helpline and web pages are being set up for staff to get further information.
Once Single Status is implemented there will be an appeal process for staff who may want to challenge the outcome of their grading.
Negotiations are continuing with trade unions to reach agreement on implementing the Single Status proposals.
Ms Richards said: "We are still negotiating the details with the unions, but we hope a collective agreement can be reached with the unions so that the proposals can be implemented in the first half of 2013."

The list author says: "Modern RPGs are great. They have amazing graphics, massive worlds, complicated characters, and enough sidequests that it's easy to forget the main quest. But you know what was also great? Old style RPGs. Sure the graphics were bad and they were cliche-ridden and full of cheesy lines, but they captured an innocence and exuberance that just isn't there in modern games. I mean, when was the last time you caught on fire, flew into the air, and threw meteors down on your foes? Or attacked a giant planet-killer in your dinky little sailing ship?
Systemwise I'm picking these from all over. Over the years I have had access to an original Nintendo, a Playstation 1-3, a PSP, and a Wii. So most of these will be for one of those systems. Generally speaking if a game is available on multiple platforms I'll chose the one that I played it on. Just be aware that many of the PS1 games are available through the PSN if you have a Playstation 3. It's probably easier to get them there since they're out of production and the prices for some of these used is ridiculous. X-Box/Wii users: you're just out of luck. You'll have to buy the hard copy. Though I believe the Wii can download some original Nintendo games through their network...
I'm not going to define precisely what old-school means because that would just be too limiting. Generally anything that has a turn based combat system, no sandbox, multiple party members, and a largely linear story I'm counting as old-school. These are RPGs from approximately the early '90s though early 2000s selected and ranked because they are just the best. That's not just my opinion by the way. These are the best, scientifically proven by copious field work and testing (much of it carried out by me personally). Old style but modern RPGs may be included at my discretion.
I've also included a few at the bottom that I haven't played yet because screw you, it's my list I can do what I want!"
"This sort of falls in the gap between old and new. The social links system is unlike anything seen before or since. The dungeon crawling and combat system however, is completely old-school complete with turn-based combat. So I'm sticking it with the old. You divide your time between fighting demons and attending high school. Great characters and a great plot."
"I can't decide between this and Persona 3. This time there are a series of murders and your characters are investigating by going into a demon world through their TVs. Has everything you love about Persona 3 except that it's set in a small town instead of the city."
"Is it anyone's surprise that this comes at the top? I do think that this game is overrated (Sephiroth is kinda a wus) but it's still hard to top. It just had the perfect combination of plot, characters, combat, and adventure. The graphics are really bad though, which takes some getting used to."
"I'm not quite sure if this is quite old-school enough, but it is an immensely fun game. It has a great plot with some real surprising twists, a series of highly developed worlds, and memorable characters. Plus you get to kill things with a lightsaber. A LIGHTSABER!! 'Nuff said."
"An old Super Nintendo title available through the PSN. My lower limit on graphics is FF7, so these old Nintendo games are often hard for me to get into. RPGs just need 3D I think. But this one manages to make up for it by being just super good."
"My second favorite Final Fantasy, and one I think is often underrated. You get to play as a cheeky thief with a tail flying around and saving the world. These are the ideal graphics for me. They look cartoony, but not wretched, and it feels like an artistic choice not a computing power limitation."
"I love this game for the characters and world design. It copied the cell shading look from Wind Waker but uses it to great effect. Apart from some story problems and a third act that really drags it's near perfect."
"A lot of people slag off on VIII. I quite like it. Sure the plot is a little messy and none of the characters stand out quite like they do in other Final Fantasies, but the gameplay is great and the world fun. Squall is an emo little wuss though."
"Very good game. It has a lot of great moments and inventive gameplay. First game I've seen that actually takes advantage of the Wii remote. A bit more linear than earlier Zelda games, but then again they were merely better at hiding their linearity. Sure you could go to locations whenever you wanted, but you couldn't do anything there until you completed the story arc leading you there."
"An odd early RPG. Fun to play. You get mech battles. The characters didn't really impress me though, and while the director has a definite eye for dramatic cut scenes we don't really get enough of them."
"The twist here is that your character starts off as the bad guy. He's just coming back from destroying a village that didn't cooperate with him. Sure, you'll be out trying to take them down before long, but it's a great way to open a story like this. Another Nintendo graphics one."
"Fun, but not as good as the original. Not by a long shot. Gameplay is improved and there are one or two interesting characters but it all feels so petty and small-scale compared to the previous game. There are also some major plot problems and glitches left over from when they ruched the game out in time for Episode III."
"It was pretty good. The gameplay was basic button-mashing, but Zack was a real fun character to play as. But you know what I really missed? Having a party. It just didn't feel like Final Fantasy without it. More like Zack's one-man adventure. Limited replay value."
"Final Fantasy + Disney = Fun, apparently? I could never get over the sheer incongruity of it, but I can't deny that the gameplay is fantastic and the work as a whole is fun to play. But don't go in expecting anything deep or complicated."
"I'm gonna dissent from common opinion here: I didn't like 10. It just didn't do it for me. Apart from an awesome introduction the world just isn't that appealing. When your best scene happens in the first 10 minutes you're in for trouble. Also features the most whiny character ever."
"First RPG I ever played actually, at least in demo form. I quite liked it but it's been years since I played and I can't remember the plot. I remember being touched by the romance, and given that I was all of twelve at the time that means it's probably cloying and overly sentimental. Probably worth another try."
"One of the first RPGs ever and full of all the bugs they learned to leave out. Vaguely defined missions, hidden plot points, and a number of other irrational elements. The plot is pretty basic and the characters... well, what characters? They don't really have any since they're so intent on you designing them yourself."
