The US is banning all common electronic devices larger than a smartphone from the cabin 13 African and Middle Eastern flights and airlines.
Devices such as laptops, tablets, iPads, cameras and DVD players can only be put in hold baggage from now on. Medical devices and cellphones are exempted. The ban comes into effect starting 21st March and airlines are expected to comply within 96 hours and will be effective till 14th October.
Flight crew is exempt from this ban and they can continue to carry their favorite electronic device with them in the cabin.
The Guardian reports that the the US Transportation Security Administration, which is responsible for security at US airports, distributed a confidential circular on Monday to airlines from 13 nations operating direct flights to the US.
A report from ABC states that the rule affects only passangers flying directly to and from the US from the following airports :
- Queen Alia International Airport (Jordan) – Royal Jordanian
- Cairo International Airport (Egypt) – EgyptAir
- Ataturk International Airport (Turkey) – Turkish Airlines
- King Abdul-Aziz International Airport (Saudi Arabia) – Saudi Arabian Airlines
- King Khalid International Airport (Saudi Arabia) – Saudi Arabian Airlines
- Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait) – Kuwait Airways
- Mohammed V Airport (Morocco) – Royal Air Maroc
- Hamad International Airport (Qatar) – Qatar Airways
- Dubai International Airport (United Arab Emirates) – Emirates Airlines
- Abu Dhabi International Airport (United Arab Emirates) – Etihad
All Middle Eastern flights originating from other airports are unaffected by the new US security measure.
The Homeland Security Fact Sheet about this measure can be found here.
Royal Jordanian, EgyptAir, Turkish Airlines, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Kuwait Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Qatar Airways, Emirates Airlines and Etihad will have until Saturday morning to fully adhere to the new rules. DHS is implementing the security measure via an emergency amendment/security directive, which informs airlines of a required result and not how the airlines should be implemented. It is up to the airlines to ensure that said rules are enforced.
If an airline does not comply, the Department of Homeland Security will work with the Federal Aviation Administration to revoke the carrier’s privilege of operating in the US.
UK released a statement Tuesday afternoon announcing that passengers on UK bound Middle Eastern flights from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia must place any devices larger than a “normal-sized mobile or smartphone” in checked luggage.
The UK’s new rule includes all carriers including its domestic carriers which are British Airways, EasyJet, Jet2.com, Monarch, Thomas Cook and Thomson.
Anyone flying to/from the UK from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia will have to put electronic devices in their hold baggage from now on.

MASS TRANSIT AND THE POLITICS OF TECHNOLOGY: A STUDY OF BART AND THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
This is a book about the political consequences of technological choice. The substantive portion of the book deals with two public transit agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area. The author is more concerned, however, with the issues of politics and technology than with those of transportation. This is, therefore, a book about how two different technologies coping with transportation problems can produce significantly different consequences. The intention is to demonstrate how proposals for large-scale technological systems, such as BART, have social and political consequences that were neither intended nor anticipated.

The GenNext Phase II SBIR submssion entitled ?FoxWare?, an Advanced Data Analysis Package for Hydroxyl Radical Foot-printing Higher Order Structural Analysis? is responsive to the ackowledged need for new and improved tools for higher order structural analysis (HOS) of biopharmaceuticals. Biopharmaceuticals are complex, heterogeneous mixtures of 3-dimensional biomolecules, whose safety and efficacy is reliant upon proper HOS. The presence of proteins with improper HOS has been linked to severe adverse drug reactions (ADR), establishing the need for new and improved HOS analytics. An emerging HOS analysis technique is hydroxyl radical foot-printing (HRPF). HRPF involves the irreversible labeling of a protein's exterior by reaction with hydroxyl radicals with subsequent MS analysis to identify the outer portions of the protein. The most widely used method for generating OH radicals employs a quick burst of UV light, and is appropriately called fast photochemical oxidation of proteins (FPOP). Academic laboratories have demonstrated the utility of FPOP for HOS analysis; however adoption in pharma has been minuscule at best. Guided by the critiques of scientists at leading biopharmaceutical companies, we have identified barriers that have limited pharma's adoption of FPOP HRPF. A substantial barrier is the absence of data processing tools to facilitate HRPF analysis. Today there are no commercial solutions for FPOP analysis, despite the demonstrated market need for its HOS analytical power. Today's proteomics data analysis products fail to adequately address specific work-flow, chemical labeling / artifacts, and comparative study requirements of HRPF HOS analysis. Researchers are compelled to use a piece-meal approach, arduously stitching together results from multiple packages and manually manipulating data in home-brew spreadsheets. As such, data processing represents a significant bottleneck that greatly complicates and delays progress in HRPF HOS studies. Our FoxWare? software addresses data processing demands of HRPF HOS analysis. Our proposal vastly improves HRPF data analysis by replacing laborious and agonizing present-day practices with an integrated, seamless solution to interpret and amplify the value of HRPF HOS studies. Upon completion of our envisioned program, FoxWare will make an indelible mark upon HOS analysis and impart a transformative shift in analytics and HRPF throughput, addressing the market demands of the biopharmaceutical industry.
The importance of large protein drugs (biopharmaceuticals) and their generic counterparts, know as biosimilars, has created a need for improved analytics to facilitate biopharmaceutical research and to combat adverse drug reactions. The biopharmaceutical industry acknowledges the critical role that protein structure plays in the safety and function of biotherapeutics. Consequently, the U.S. government has issued guidelines that call for the use and development of state-of-the-art technology for evaluating bipharmaceutical protein structure. The GenNext Phase II SBIR will create an improved data processing software program to analyze protein higher order structure. Upon successful completion of our program, we will demonstrate the transformative nature of our new technology to positively impact biopharmaceutical research.

It never fails, every time I see a new photo set by Fooly Cooly I’m reminded why she’s one of my favorite cosplayers out there.
Not only is her body bonkers, but all her costumes are absolutely stunning. Of course, my favorite character she portrays is Poison. There’s just something really amazing about the character’s vibrant pink hair juxtaposed with Fooly Cooly’s delicious skin tone. If I were Capcom I’d put this version of Poison in their upcoming Ultra Street Fighter 4.

I think this is one of the prettiest kids quilts! It is so simple and quick to make using only 3 fabrics. I'll see if I can find the pattern and post it.
The second quilt of the day is a t-shirt quilt. All I can say is....it will be a challenge. I'll post pictures after I get it quilted because 'quilting makes the quilt'.


One of the numerous massive questions scientists are attempting to untangle is whether or not individuals who get Covid-19 throughout being pregnant will go on some pure immunity to their newborns.
Recent research have hinted that they could. And new findings, revealed Friday within the journal JAMA Pediatrics, present one other piece of the puzzle, providing extra proof that Covid-19 antibodies can cross the placenta.
“What we’ve discovered is pretty in line with what we’ve discovered from research of different viruses,” mentioned Scott E. Hensley, an affiliate professor of microbiology on the Perelman School of Medicine on the University of Pennsylvania and one of many senior authors of the examine.
Additionally, he added, the examine suggests that ladies will not be solely transferring antibodies to their fetuses, but additionally transferring extra antibodies to their infants if they’re contaminated earlier of their pregnancies. This might need implications for when girls needs to be vaccinated in opposition to Covid-19, Dr. Hensley mentioned, including that vaccinating girls earlier in being pregnant would possibly supply extra protecting advantages, “however research really analyzing vaccination amongst pregnant girls should be accomplished.”
In the examine, researchers from Pennsylvania examined greater than 1,500 girls who gave delivery at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia between April and August of final 12 months. Of these, 83 girls had been discovered to have Covid-19 antibodies — and after they gave delivery, 72 of these infants examined optimistic for Covid-19 antibodies through their twine blood, no matter whether or not their moms had signs.
According to Dr. Karen Puopolo, an affiliate professor of pediatrics on the University of Pennsylvania and one of many senior authors of the examine, about half of these infants had antibody ranges that had been as excessive or greater than these discovered of their mom’s blood, and in a couple of quarter of the instances, the antibody ranges within the twine blood was 1.5 to 2 instances greater than the mom’s concentrations.
“That’s pretty environment friendly,” Dr. Puopolo mentioned.
The researchers additionally noticed that the longer the time interval between the beginning of a pregnant lady’s Covid-19 an infection and her supply, the extra antibodies had been transferred, a discovering that has been famous elsewhere.
The antibodies that crossed the placenta had been immunoglobulin G, or IgG, antibodies, the sort which can be made days after getting contaminated and are thought to supply long-term safety in opposition to the coronavirus.
None of the infants on this examine had been discovered to have immunoglobulin M, or IgM, antibodies, that are sometimes solely detected quickly after an an infection, suggesting that the infants hadn’t been contaminated with the coronavirus.
Experts don’t but know if the quantity of antibodies that handed on to the infants had been sufficient to stop newborns from getting Covid-19. And as a result of just a few of the infants within the examine had been born prematurely, the researchers can’t say whether or not infants who’re born early would possibly miss out on these protecting antibodies. The examine authors additionally famous that as a result of their outcomes had been from only one facility, the findings would should be additional replicated.
The placenta is a fancy organ, and one which has been understudied, mentioned Dr. Denise Jamieson, an obstetrician at Emory University in Atlanta and a member of the Covid professional group on the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, who was not concerned with the examine.
And extra analysis is required to raised perceive whether or not vaccine-generated antibodies behave comparably to antibodies from Covid-19 an infection, mentioned Dr. Andrea G. Edlow, an assistant professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive biology at Harvard Medical School.
In a examine revealed within the journal Cell in December, as an illustration, Dr. Edlow and her colleagues discovered that Covid-19 antibodies from a pure an infection would possibly cross the placenta much less effectively than the antibodies produced after vaccination for flu and whooping cough (pertussis).
“What we actually wish to know is, do antibodies from the vaccine effectively cross the placenta and defend the child, the way in which we all know occurs in influenza and pertussis,” Dr. Jamieson mentioned.
Experts have no idea whether or not the Covid vaccine will work on this means, partially as a result of pregnant girls had been excluded from the preliminary scientific trials.
“It’s believable that the Covid vaccine will protect each pregnant moms and their infants,” mentioned Dr. Mark Turrentine, a member of the Covid professional group at A.C.O.G. “To me,” he added, “this examine highlights that inclusion of pregnant girls in scientific trials such because the Covid-19 vaccine is crucial, notably when the good thing about vaccination is larger than the potential danger of a life-threatening illness.”

Why is OK Boomer offensive?
Usage. The phrase has been used as a retort for perceived resistance to technological change, climate change denial, marginalization of members of minority groups, or opposition to younger generations’ ideals.
Is PewDiePie a Boomer?
No, boomers are people born between the years 1946 and 1964. Pewdiepie was born in 1980, so he is a millennial.
How old is a Boomer?
Baby Boomers: Baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. They’re currently between 57-75 years old (71.6 million in the U.S.) Gen X: Gen X was born between 1965 and 1979/80 and is currently between 41-56 years old (65.2 million people in the U.S.) Gen Y: Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1981 and 1994/6.
What does Coomer mean?
Coomer is an internet meme based on an illustration of a scraggly male character who is mocked as an excessive masturbator. More broadly, coomer (with a lowercase C) is an often ironic insult for an oversexed young man or, more generally, a loser.
What is under Gen Z?
Generation Z (aka Gen Z, iGen, or centennials), refers to the generation that was born between 1997-2012, following millennials. This generation has been raised on the internet and social media, with some the oldest finishing college by 2020 and entering the workforce.
What is boomer mentality?
Pew Research defines baby boomers as anyone born between 1946 and 1964. But “OK, boomer” refers to a mindset that people as young as 30 can hold and that is not necessarily held by all older people. … “Don’t trust anyone over 30” was a popular boomer mantra. Older generations were not fond of boomers either.
Who started the OK Boomer meme?
In January 2019, the phrase began picking up speed and ultimately peaked in popularity by late fall thanks to a song written and produced by Jonathan Williams, a 20-year-old college student, and the subsequent “ok boomer” remix by Peter Kuli that exploded on the social media network, TikTok.
Is saying OK Boomer rude?
Saying “OK boomer” one time does not legally qualify as harassing behavior. But frequent comments about someone’s age – for example, calling a colleague “old” and “slow”, “old fart” or even “pops” – can become harassment over time.
Is OK boomer an insult?
The earliest mentions of OK boomer can be traced as far back as 2015 on 4chan, where the phrase was used as an insult by the forum’s anonymous users, aimed at other anons who seemed out of touch. But the phrase really took off this year on TikTok, as a rebuttal to angry rants by baby boomers about kids these days.
Can you say OK Boomer to anyone?
The cheeky “OK boomer” response has become a rallying call for millennials and other younger generations across the world. … If you’re of a younger generation and you’re inspired by Swarbrick’s words, then good for you. But just a word of warning: Don’t use that phrase at work.

End-of-year sampling crowns best of tomato crop
All good things must come to an end.
And sadly, that includes sandwiches made of homegrown tomatoes.
I’m a sucker for tomato sandwiches, the only vehicle for mayonnaise I will allow to enter my gastrointestinal system. They’re simple and delicious. Somehow, that sliced tomato with mayonnaise, seasoned with a little salt and pepper on good bread is just the quintessential taste of summer.
They have tomatoes at the grocery store, sure. But those flavorless, mealy orbs don’t even resemble the splendor that is the homegrown garden tomato.
I’d rather live without tomatoes for nine months of the year than eat one of those mediocre excuses for a fruit. (Yes, tomatoes are fruits, remember?)
But before I relish the last tomato sandwich of 2016, I’ll have my own little tomato taste test to see what was a real standout from the garden. This is something I do every year to compare varieties and to see what’s worth saving space for next year and to record what was kind of “meh” that I could live without.
Over the years I’ve found that incorporating an array of tomatoes with different flavor profiles is fun and delicious. Some are sweet, some more acidic, and others almost fruity. And it’s interesting to see how the same variety of tomato can taste different from year to year, although I’m relying on taste memory, and I’m not sure how accurate that is over time.
Craig LeHoullier, the author of “Epic Tomatoes: How to Select and Grow the Best Varieties of All Time,” puts on an annual Tomatopalooza which he describes in his book. This is a get-together where gardeners pool their harvests and have a taste-test to see which varieties were the best performers of the year.
The end of the season is the time for it, before the killing frost and when the plants have finally produced enough to judge. He dubbed the intensely flavored Brandywine his favorite tomato of all-time, although he has 250 recommended varieties in his book to peruse for next year’s garden.
One of the clear winners this year in my garden is the Sun Gold, a hybrid cherry tomato with an orange hue that tastes like candy. I kid you not, they’re ridiculously good and even people who don’t think they like tomatoes will go for it.
Another top performer was the miniature version of a Green Zebra tomato. It’s just like the larger tomato but produces a large cherry tomato-sized fruit.
The Green Zebra is tangy, with signature yellow and green stripes that provide a striking contrast in a caprese salad with traditional red tomatoes. I think I like the little Green Zebra better than the full-sized one.
Another surprise this year was the Ananas Noire, or Black Pineapple tomato. This is one of the weirdest-looking tomatoes I’ve ever grown, and it yields a multicolored fruit that looks purple, green and yellow.
The only red spots on this tomato were on the inside, when I sliced it open and the cross-section of the fruit revealed an almost tie-dyed interior.
While it didn’t produce as prolifically as I hoped, the tomatoes I have picked are among the most delicious and distinctive tomatoes I’ve ever tried. Ananas Noire, a Belgian tomato, is incredibly sweet and a bit citrusy. This tomato took forever to ripen, but it was definitely worth the wait, and I’ll be growing it again.
Whatever varieties you grew this season, make sure to give your tomato patch a once-over before the frost hits, and pick any fruits that are just barely starting to ripen. These will be ready to eat in no time, if you have a spot to let them sit and ripen.
Even the green tomatoes will eventually turn red, if you’re patient enough. If you have just a few, stick them in a paper bag with an apple to help them along — the apple will release ethylene gas and encourage the tomatoes to ripen faster.

One of the most favorite celebrity couples in Ghana is actress Nana Ama Mcbrown and her husband, Maxwell Mensah. In recent times, Nana Ama Mcbrown and Maxwell Mensah have been all over the news for one reason or the other.
It started when the public posture of Maxwell led many Mcbrown fans to begin to suspect he was probably being forced to be in the marriage. Both Mcbrown and Maxwell came out to rubbish those rumors.
Well, Mcbrown was recently interviewed by Zionfelix and besides revealing that she is actually 40 years and not 45 as popularly known, Mcbrown also talked about the possibility of a breakup with Maxwell and revealed cheating on his part can lead to the collapse of the marriage.
Mcbrown was asked by the host if she will break up with Maxwell if she finds out he is cheating on her, she answered in the affirmative.
“Why won’t I be able to break up with him? Or he also decided to break up with me? ” she quizzed
“No one places a lock on your marriage and goes to put the padlock under the sea, so you won’t be able to come out of it”, she added.
Nana Ama Mcbrown also talked about her inability to have a baby with Maxwell. She warned Ghanaians to stop putting pressure on her to give birth because she is really trying and babies are not sold in the market.

Driving through Barnstead, New Hampshire, north of Concord, it might strike you as a typical, small New England town. But scratching beneath the surface, you find that there’s nothing at all typical about Barnstead or its residents.
In 2006, Barnstead became the very first municipality in the nation to prohibit corporations from privatizing its water. Through an overwhelming Town Meeting vote, the community adopted an ordinance banning corporations from massive water extraction projects.
Water as Profit
Corporations have been targeting New England towns for their water, to bottle and sell for profit. Barnstead understood that it could be slated for extraction. Pumping operations can extract hundreds of thousands of gallons of water a day from local aquifers. Water depletion, dry wells, and harm to local ecosystems all were of concern to residents.
Faced with the potential of their water being privatized, community members were determined to be proactive to safeguard the local water system. Barnstead residents observed what was happening in the nearby Towns of Barrington and Nottingham, where for years community members had fought to keep the USA Springs corporation from taking their water. Nearly $500,000 and countless hours of volunteer labor were spent, yet they found they still could not say “No” to the corporation’s proposal to extract over 300,000 gallons of water a day. Why? What was happening?
Community members in Barnstead learned that the corporate directors of USA Springs, living nowhere near Barrington or Nottingham, had more rights to decide what happened to the water in those communities than the people who lived there. And they would have the same rights to Barnstead water. They learned that our constitution—supposedly written to protect the rights of human beings—was now able to be wielded by private corporations to override local, democratic decision making.
What to Do?
Learning about the work of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, residents came together and decided to assert their right to protect the local water systems and their right to local self-governance by codifying it into law. They asked CELDF to draft an ordinance for Barnstead.
CELDF drafted the ordinance, hand-in-hand with residents of Barnstead. And for a year, residents participated in Democracy Schools, conducted research, and held community meetings to talk about what they were learning about our system of governance and the need for change if they were to protect their water.
Residents proposed the ordinance as a warrant article for the Barnstead Town Meeting.
In March 2006, residents of Barnstead voted 136-1 to adopt the ordinance, called the Barnstead Water Rights and Local Self-Government Ordinance, making it the first community in the country to ban corporations from water extraction. The ordinance also stripped water corporations of their rights when they came into conflict with community rights, and asserted the right of the community and its residents to local self-governance.
Following Barnstead’s lead, now other communities in New Hampshire, as well as Maine and California, are following in the community’s footsteps.

Getting pursued romantically may be a stunning feeling that produces an excellent greet hurry off thrill and you can emotion. Being pursued ranges dramatically in extent and you will evolution. Many people try pursued that have dogged dedication and you can desire, although some was pursued having hushed patience and you can consideration.
Close Venture: Meaning
A romantic journey differs from easy friendliness otherwise general conversation mainly in subtext. While you are two different people can also be total the phrase, “It actually was sweet observe you today”, the fresh subtext obvious via gestures and build can alter brand new meaning of the definition of from the par value (“We liked watching your”) in order to a far more energized meaning (“I want to come across more of your”). Regardless, you can study a lot out-of not just what is actually told you, however, on the method in which they claim.
Just what are some signs a wedded son is desire your? An individual who are romantically pursuing you tends to single your away significantly more than others – we.age. pay your way more attention than simply your own co-workers, carry out different options getting actually or emotionally near you, and you can input more hours and energy to making you look. Someone who observes you given that an informal friend commonly dedicate go out in you, however, does not just be sure to offer things when the a couple of you’re by yourself along with her. Someone who is trying to grow a romantic relationship, alternatively, will likely search for the way to get the 2 away from you alone. Talking about several of the most obvious ways that you can see the difference between a person who are romantically desire you and a person who is interested within becoming loved ones.
The problem which have Infidelity
While some manage believe infidelity is not naturally an ethical issue, there can be some research to point you to cheating was cruel , without any visibility out of social or religious mores. The greatest issue with infidelity is based on the way cheating makes other people feel; cheat try problematic since it violates new believe your give another individual – otherwise multiple anyone – and you can a violation off believe has the potential to play havoc to your somebody’s psychological state and you will emotional condition. Cheat is far more than a step outside of social norms: it’s an admission out of a contract that you created with your spouse, and that inhibits the latest emotional and you can actual intimacy and bond that you are creating. Such interruption can be get-off serious psychological injuries, that can take age and rigorous medication to heal.
Unfaithfulness can not only break the relationship you have got together with your lover, however. It also violates the fresh new believe you have with folk on the lives. When you agree to paying your lifetime which have anybody, and you will hope become loyal, a pass of these guarantee is adversely perception their familial relationship, friendships, and also work environment relationship. Infidelity rarely casts the person stepping beyond their marriage in a positive white, no matter how of many pleas of “The woman is in love!” or “I am not saying are fulfilled!” try uttered, because it’s normally thought to be a beneficial coward’s way out regarding a wedding, otherwise a selfish manner of attaining satisfaction and validation. Though this isn’t the actual situation, it can be difficult for the individuals in the lives out-of cheaters to get into them in the same way immediately following an event has been involved with.
Signs He Loves You Much more Than simply A friend
Because perception that men and women cannot be members of the family try outdated and you may unhealthy, the thought continues, that could direct some men or female koko app to concern the relationship that have someone of the opposite gender who is married. You will find significant variations, even if, between friendships and the beginning of the personal relationship, primarily in the way that folks interact.

Each journey can be done in around three weeks.
1. GALAPAGOS, MACHU PICCHU and EASTER ISLAND. Fly to Quito, Ecuador. One day there: fantastic city. Fly round trip from Quito to Galapagos. You need to take a seven-day boat tour of the islands. Only way to get around. Take zodiacs from the mother ship to different islands every day. See amazing wild life, including 400 pound tortoises. Fly back to Quito and direct to Lima, Peru. One night there, fly to Cusco (10,000 feet). Two days there to acclimatize. You need a coca based tea to overcome altitude sickness. From Cusco take a train to Machu Picchu. Overnight there (but you need to book months in advance to stay on top of the mountain). Back to Cusco and Lima. Fly direct Lima to Santiago, Chile. One night there and a quick city tour. Fly direct, a four hour flight, to Easter Island. Three or four nights there. Unbelievable. Then back to Santiago and home. A brilliant trip. Easily our number one.
2. SOUTH AMERICA, Part Two. Fly to Rio de Janeiro and then Buenos Aires. At least two days there, a stunning city. Take a side flight to Iguazu Falls on the Argentine/Brazil border. You won’t regret it. The most spectacular in the world. In Rio see Christ the Redeemer statue (Another of the Seven Wonders), Copacabana Beach and Sugar Loaf Mountain. Two nights there and back to BA. Use BA as a base to take a trip to Antarctica either from BA or from Ushuaia, right down by Cape Horn. All sorts of cruises and price points available. And, if possible, come back to BA via the Falklands. Fascinating.
3. INDIA. Do a two week trip with Perfect Travels from Delhi. Consider a side trip for three days to Kathmandu, Nepal, from Delhi. Short flight and you get to see Everest. From Delhi do a guided tour Rajasthan. Visit Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaipur and of course Agra to see the Taj Mahal (a Wonder of the World). Also from there you can get to the tiger parks. End up with visits to Mumbai and Varanasi, on the Ganges, and fly home via Jordan. Petra is a MUST-SEE. Second only to Mach Picchu.
4. ASIA. I would do a trip starting in China. Beijing and Shanghai are wonderful, but make time for a stopover to see the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an. You can easily see the Great Wall within a few miles of Beijing. A Wonder of the World. Take in Hong Kong for a few days. From there to Vietnam. See Saigon, Hanoi and Ha Long Bay for sure. Then fly to Cambodia and see Angkor Wat (A Wonder)….need a few days in that area. Fly home, maybe via Bangkok or Singapore.
5. AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND. The pick of Australia would be Sydney and the Blue Mountains close by. The Great Barrier Reef north of Brisbane. Ayers Rock, for sure, which requires a flight to the centre of Australia. Perth if you have time. In New Zealand, you must get down to the tip of the South Island and go by boat to Milford Sound. Include Bay of Islands and Rotorua on the North Island.
6. EUROPE – PART ONE. I would divide Europe into at least two parts. One through Eastern Europe, taking in Hungary – Budapest is one of my favourites cities – the Czech Republic (Prague is also one of the most beautiful cities in the world), Austria (Vienna), Poland – Krakow and Warsaw are well worth seeing. From Warsaw an easy trip to Berlin and the rest of Germany. Maybe fly home through Scandinavia. Stockholm superb and Oslo interesting. Copenhagen would be on the way there and well worth a day.
7. EUROPE PART TWO: Spain, France and Monaco then into Italy. Spain is a fairly easy driving trip. You must see Barcelona and Seville, and several of the smaller towns like Salamanca and Sergovia close to Madrid. You could include Portugal. Lisbon worth seeing. But work in the South of France – Carcassonne and Avignon and Arles in Provence. Monaco for a day, Then drive or train into Italy and work your way through Venice, Florence and down to Rome. Don’t forget the Colosseum, one of Seven Wonders.
8. RUSSIA. The Russian tourist agency is Intourist. Trips can be planned with them. St. Petersburg a must for three days (Hermitage Museum, Saviour of the Spilled Blood Church, Peterhof, Winter Palace and Catherine Palace) and Moscow for another three. (Red Square, Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum, Boshoi Theatre and St. Basil’s Cathedral). Then fly to the south east and the countries of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan…..must see the spectacular scenery and religious artefacts and ruins. Samarkand on the old Silk Road a must.
9. AFRICA: In addition to Botswana, think of a trip to include the pyramids of Egypt, the gorillas in Rwanda or Uganda, and more safaris in Kenya or Tanzania. And if you can include Namibia well worth it – the highest sand dunes in the world, and they are spectacular. The skeleton coast well worth a detour – ship wrecks galore along the coast. Plus wildlife at Etosha National Park and cheetahs and leopards at Africats. And think about South Africa – Cape Town, (Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope) and the Garden Route all the way along the coast from Cape Town to Durban. And visit Cairo at the beginning or end of this adventure to see the Great Pyramid of Gizza – one of the Wonders of the world
10. CENTRAL AMERICA: Costa Rica is well worth a trip. The volcano at Arenal and the rain forests. Go to the ruins at Tikal in Guatemala and somehow work in and in Chechen Itza in Mexico., another Wonder of the World.
This travel list also includes the Seven Wonders of the World. The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, The Great Wall of China (Beijing); Petra, Jordan; The Colosseum in Rome; Chichen Itza, Mexico; Machu Picchu, Peru; Taj Mahal, India; and Christ the Redeemer, Rio. There are actually eight wonders – the Great Pyramid was given honorary status.
And remember a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.

If the extreme crowds, paralyzing traffic, and harried retail staff aren’t enough to keep you away from the malls on this day of shopping excess called Black Friday, perhaps this may convince you to stay home: It’s national Buy Nothing Day.
Observed on the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, “this day is part of a movement against consumerism, urging the world to change their purchasing habits, to consume and produce less.”
As Black Friday has become a shopping juggernaut over the past decade, even in parts of the world that don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, it has engendered plenty of backlash. That includes what has been dubbed “Block Friday,” which this year includes protests by activists in France blocking entrance to an Amazon warehouse south of Paris in protest against the environmental effects of consumerism.
Some French lawmakers have even raised the possibility of banning Black Friday in France, while activists blocked the doors at some shopping centres on Friday.
So, if you are so inclined, here are the instructions for observing #BuyNothingDay, according to nationaldaycalendar.com: Instead of shopping, stay home and relax (or presumably go to work if you’re supposed to be there).
Other ways to show support: cut up credit cards; do a Whirl-mart – the act of disrupting others shopping by pushing your shopping cart around a store over and over while purchasing nothing (not kidding, it really says that); organize a Christmas Zombie walk – a visual expression of the obsession consumers have with Black Friday deal (invite all your friends).
Canadian artist Ted Dave founded Buy Nothing Day in September 1992 and it was shifted it to Black Friday in North America 1997 (other parts of the world mark the no-shopping day the day after Black Friday).
The movement has been amplified by Adbusters, a Canadian-based environmental not-for-profit.
“Something wicked this way comes! Black Friday and the powers that be are urging us to get out there and spend ‘til we can’t spend no more,” declares the Adbusters website.
It goes on to define Black Friday as: people trampling each other to buy stuff, the day after being thankful for what they have.”
Many social media users posting under the #BuyNothingDay hashtag urged others not to spend in order to send a message to corporations about climate change and the plastics pollution.
Ottawa’s Octopus Bookstore tweeted: “Octopus will be closed all day Nov 29th to celebrate #BuyNothingDay. We encourage you to join us in spending a bit of time reflecting on how powerful marketing is, how our consumption is destroying the planet, and on all the great things you can do that don’t involve STUFF!”
It seems that Black Friday is overtaking Boxing Day for Canadian shoppers. The Retail Council of Canada’s holiday shopping survey found that 43 per cent of Canadian consumers planned to spend on Black Friday – up from 40 per cent in 2018 – and compared to 34 per cent who plan to shop on Boxing Day. Canadians surveyed by the RCC said they planned to spend 38 per cent of their holiday budget on Black Friday, compared to 30 per cent on Boxing Day.
And overall, the report found that stores still rule, with 72 per cent of holiday shopping budgets forecast to be spent in store and 28 per cent online.
On average, Canadians said they planned to spend $792 this year, up from $675 in 2018.
Today is Buy Nothing Day. Join us as we resist the urge to splurge for 24 hours. It's time to break up with capitalism.

The Office of Personnel Management recently filed two proposals to change how feds enroll in the Federal Employee Dental and Vision Insurance Program and to expand the regulations of the Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance.
A recent Government Accountability Office report suggests OPM needs to do a better job of explaining the program's benefits and conduct more structured reviews of the program and its premium rates.
For many federal employees, FEGLI premiums are more expensive compared to what these employees may be able to purchase in an individual life insurance policy from a private insurance company. Ed Zurndorfer explains.
Are you considering a Roth IRA? How do you know if it's the right option for you? Bob Leins of the National Institute of Transition Planning joins Mike Causey on this week's Your Turn. John Montague of WAEPA will also join the show to explain why some life insurance plans may be better than FEGLI for some federal workers.

African Artists' Foundation in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut bring you "Black Box" an audio and visual installation featuring the photographic work of the iconic Sven Marquardt with musical accompaniment by one of the leading proponents of techno music, Marcel Dettmann.
Sven Marquardt has been part of the Berlin Techno scene since the early 1990s. Born in East Berlin in 1962, he had previously been a punk and worked as a photographer. After reunification, he started working as a bouncer, first at his brother DJ Jauche's parties, then at the Snax and its fetish parties, the Ostgut club which developed out of it, and, finally, at the Berghain, which is still Berlin's most important club today, eleven years later. In the GDR (former Easter Germany), Sven Marquardt photographed his punk friends in their black make-up on the wastelands and derelict backyards of East Berlin, documenting a subculture that officially was not supposed to exist. Since 2003, he has been photographing the DJs, bar staff and fellow bouncers at the Berghain. His pictures look like they were taken at night – even the ones that were shot in daylight. They are dark, almost existentialist-looking photographs. Marquardt likes to stage his motifs on a large scale.

Shoe analyzing is like Sherlock Holmes and the feet! It can tell you exactly what your feet are doing in that particular shoe, which is typically an indication of what your feet do in general while walking!
If you notice a particular “abnormal” pattern, it can indicate that intervention is needed to the feet. With that in mind, what kind of patterns would be considered abnormal?
The bottom of the shoe can tell a lot about movement and pressure points. When the shoe tread wears down, it starts to smooth out and loose grip.
The heel is typically where you can see the most wear. It is normal to wear the outside of the heel down slightly. This is where you should strike the ground first when walking. If the heel wears down quickly and along the entire outside of the heel border, this could be considered excessive. This excessive wear might indicate that you are a supinator, which means you have a high arch and/or your heel turns out when you walk. If your heel wears down on the middle or inside of the shoe, this could indicate a flat foot and/or your heel rolls in when you walk.
The front of the shoe can tell you how your pushing off of the back leg when you walk. Normal wear occurs slightly inside to the middle of the shoe. If the wear is at the very outside of the shoe, this may indicate a high arch or an avoidance of pain. For example, if the big toe joint is sore when walking, pushing off of the outside of the foot will avoid this pain. If the wear occurs on the inside border of the shoe, this can indicate a flat foot or an avoidance of pain. Pushing off of the very inside of the foot can be another compensation when the big toe joint is sore.
The middle of the shoe may not show significant wear, but will give you information it if does! If the shoe wears to the outside border of the shoe, this can indicate a high arch or an avoidance of pain. For example, if the arch is painful, walking on the outside of the foot may avoid this pain. If the shoe wears on the very inside border of the shoe, this can indicate a flat arch.
Be aware that sport specific shoes may indicate a different wear pattern because of the motions required to perform the activity. For example, tennis requires more aggressive side to side motions, which can develop wear on the sides of the shoes.
The angles of the shoes indicate excessive wear at a particular spot, creating a tilt in the shoe and/or the sole. Place the shoe on a level surface and observe the heel and the front of the shoe. The shoe should not be leaning to one way or the other. If this is the case, the lean can come from the sole wearing down, or the top of the shoe getting pushed over.
The side the shoe is tilting to will indicate where your foot is moving. An outside tilt can indicate a high arch and/or the heel rolling out, and an inside tilt can indicate a flat arch and/or the heel rolling in.
The inside part of the shoe, where your foot contacts directly, can also tell you a lot about your walking patterns. The insole inside of the shoe will typically come out of the shoe, even if it’s glued in. In the rare case that the insole does not come out, you may still be able to see some patterns and feel them by placing your hand inside.
From the insole, the toes are typically the most visible wear spots. The toes with the most pressure can be visible from the amount of compression to the foam, the most discolouration and/or from the fabric wearing out. Pressure to the big toe can indicate a flat foot and pressure to the outside toes can indicate a high arch.
The arch height may be visible from the insole, especially if the arch is a severe flat foot or aggressive high arch. A severe flat foot can be seen by pressure on the very inside of the middle of the insole. The aggressive high arch can be seen by no pressure in the middle of the insole. To help prove this theory further, look for very high-pressure areas at the front of the foot and the heel.
There is another arch in the foot, which is at the ball of the foot. When this arch is collapsed, it can also be seen on the insole. It will be seen by a sideways oval pressure just behind the toes.
Holes and Material Ripping
Occasionally, holes and ripped material can be seen on the outside or insides of shoes.
If the material is ripped on the inside of the heel, this can indicate excessive motion at the heel. The heel typically moves slightly to absorb shock, but excessive motion can put stress and strain on various structures in the lower limb.
If the material is ripped on the outside of the shoe, it can give you a couple indications. If the shoe is too narrow, holes may appear on the sides of the shoe over time. These holes may also develop if your feet are moving to much inside the shoe. This can be from a flat foot, very mobile joints and/or the shoe is too big.
With all of these areas of the shoe to analyze, it can help determine if your feet are moving abnormally. Are your shoes wearing down abnormally? Your Canadian Certified Pedorthist can help to decipher your shoes and give you a better idea about how your feet are moving and affecting the rest of your body.

Northern Virginia Travel Guide
Plan Your Northern Virginia Vacation
In 1649 King Charles II of England gave the land that would become Fairfax County to seven English noblemen. It became a county in 1742 and was named after Thomas, sixth Lord Fairfax. Widespread tobacco farming, the dominant industry in the 18th century, eventually depleted the land. After tobacco, dairy farming became the major agricultural activity, and by 1925 Fairfax was first among all Virginia counties in dairy production. Today the economy depends upon business and government, and Fairfax County has one of the highest per capita incomes in the country. Wolf Trap, the only national park dedicated to the performing arts, is here, and throughout the year it draws concertgoers from miles around.

We all know that the NHS is in desperate need of a cash injection. Waiting lists for crucial services continue to rise, especially in the mental health sector, and the quality of care that we are receiving as patients cannot continue unless it receives additional money.
We have been told by Theresa May that we are to receive a NHS “Brexit dividend”. Ministers are claiming that we will divert £9bn of UK contributions into NHS funding, but what they aren’t saying is that on that point, the numbers alone do not add up. We are to pay a divorce bill, admittedly front-loaded, until 2064. I would draw your attention specifically to 2019, which means that there is already a fiscal black hole of more than £9bn.
And so we start with we have seen delivered to us by the press today (and that Mrs May will propose on Monday). The NHS will receive £20bn per year in much-needed resources, with a five-year funding plan seeing 3.4% on average, with 4% in the first two years.
But without that Brexit dividend, given that we will be paying money to the EU for the foreseeable future, where exactly is it going to come from?
Jeremy Hunt has made it clear in an interview with The Sunday Times that he will “go into battle with the Treasury to secure the money he needs”, but this is meaningless.
As the IFS stated, if the DHSC day-to-day budget were to be increased by 4% a year in real terms over the four years from 2019–20 to 2022–23 (inclusive) this would increase spending by £21 billion. Hunt’s claim that he will battle with the Treasury to obtain money from them is intangible when the Treasury is operating on the sensible assumption that it is desirable to reach an overall budget balance by the mid-2020s.
So if there is no dividend, there remain continued fiscal targets, where will the money come from? My guess is that you can expect to see a rise of at least 2p on your Income Tax in the next Budget – something which will directly breach the Conservative Party’s manifesto commitments. And if this involves any deviation from taking the lowest-paid earners out of the tax, the Government will be punishing those who do the right thing with very little reward.
I look forward to seeing how she manages to get herself out of this farce.
