Cricket: Ireland welcome Andre Botha back with open arms
Andre Botha and Phil Eaglestone are both named in the Ireland squad for next week’s Intercontinental Cup match against Canada in Toronto and the two ODIs to follow.
Botha hasn’t played since the World Twenty20 in the West Indies at the beginning of May because of a stress fracture and Eaglestone strained his side in the opening match of the World League seven weeks ago.
He proved his fitness in last week’s A-team game in Hampshire which the county second XI won by three wickets when they chased 237 in 36 overs. Ales Cusack, however, is to have an operation on his recurring shin splints problem and is now out of the squad while Surrey’s Gary Wilson will join the team only for the ODIs.
Instonians’ Rory McCann will keep wicket in the four-day game against Canada.
Ireland squad: T Johnston (capt), A Botha, G Dockrell, P Eaglestone, A Eastwood, N Jones, R McCann, J Mooney, K O’Brien, A Poynter, P Stirling, A van der Merwe, A White plus G Wilson (for ODIs only).

Which is faster? A shooting bullet or a shattering glass? Science put it to the test to finally answer the question, and people are actually surprised.
The speed of a bullet versus shattering glass is a topic that has fascinated people for centuries. In a recent Reddit post, a video of shattered glass went viral, sparking renewed interest in the subject.
The video shows a bullet being fired at a pane of glass, and the glass shattering in slow motion. The speed of the bullet is incredible, and the way the glass shatters is mesmerizing.
The video has led to a lot of discussion about the speed of bullets and the lethality of shattered glass.
Some people have pointed out that bullets can travel at speeds of up to 3,000 feet per second, which is much faster than the speed of sound. This means that a bullet can hit you before you even hear it coming.
Others have noted that shattered glass can be just as dangerous as a bullet. When glass shatters, it can create sharp shards that can cause serious injuries. In some cases, shattered glass can even be fatal.
The Reddit post has also led to some interesting discussions about the nature of violence. Some people have argued that the video is a reminder of the dangers of gun violence. Others have argued that the video is simply a harmless bit of fun.
Ultimately, the video of shattered glass is a reminder of the power and danger of both bullets and glass. It is a topic that is sure to continue to fascinate people for years to come.


A two-year-old baby boy died last weekend in Georgetown, Texas at the hands of the baby’s mother’s boyfriend, 22-year-old Andrew Jimenez of Georgetown.
Jimenez initially told police he didn’t know how the child was hurt, but then confessed Tuesday after he was booked into the Williamson County Jail that “he became upset and frustrated with the child because he (Jimenez) was not able to rest so he struck the child repeatedly until he quit moving around.”
On Saturday, Jimenez dropped the baby off at St. David’s Georgetown Hospital, and then just left the baby there.
After the emergency room attendants were unable to resuscitate the two-year-old, doctors at the hospital noticed unusual bruises on the child and contacted police.
During the course of the police investigation, Jimenez said that when he awoke from a nap, he found the two-year-old at the bottom of a set of a stairs. Jimenez also told the police he was hungover at the time of his nap.
Jimenez said he was watching the baby, while the baby’s mom, 18-year-old Monica Alvarado-Garcia, was working.
Jimenez then told detectives he put the boy into a bath tub to make him “more alert and awake” but that was unsuccessful so he put the child in bed.
Jimenez said he fell asleep with the child next to him and when he awoke the boy was no longer breathing, so Jimenez took him to the emergency room.
An autopsy performed by the Travis County Medical Examiner’s office determined that the baby died from “tremendous blunt force.” The baby’s death was then ruled a homicide.
Court papers released show that Jimenez has a history of assault charges.
Police from Georgetown arrested Andrew Jimenez last night, booked him into the Williamson County jail, charged him with the capital murder of his girlfriend’s baby, and set his bail at $1 million.

Product / Service Description
An innovative technology product that supplies filtered, conditioned, and fresh air in designated areas. The PCU-F is an energy-efficient solution for once-through and fresh air cooling applications in industries such as pharma, foods, beverages, automobiles, etc.
Often, fresh air needs to be pumped in to corridors and/or lobbies to maintain a required level of IAQ (Indoor Air Quality). Also for various process requirements, 100% fresh conditioned air (once-through applications) is required. Cooling of fresh air through conventional air conditioning is a highly energy intensive process; but PCU-F meets this requirement in the most energy efficient manner. This system has ‘Indirect Evaporative Cooling (IEC)’ at the 1st stage for sensible cooling and then an AC coil (DX/CW) at the 2nd stage. By incorporating IEC at the 1st stage, substantial energy savings can be gained.

In the heart of the Boyne Valley lies one of the world’s most remarkable prehistoric monuments, Newgrange. This enigmatic structure, older than the Great Pyramids and Stonehenge, has captivated the imagination of historians, archaeologists, and curious minds for centuries. But it wasn’t until 1699 that Newgrange was rediscovered, ushering in a new era of fascination with Ireland’s ancient past.
The cairn of Newgrange – Sketch books of Irish antiquities – National Library of Ireland.
Newgrange, a remarkable structure dating back to around 3200 BC (over 5,200 years ago), stands as a testament to the profound significance it held for its builders during the Neolithic period. While modern archaeologists categorize it as a passage tomb, it is important to recognize that to those who constructed Newgrange, it likely embodied a multifaceted purpose. For them, it served not only as a tomb but likely also as a place of astrological, spiritual, religious, and ceremonial importance.
In the span of approximately 1,000 years, Newgrange experienced abandonment and gradually slipped into obscurity, succumbing to overgrowth and the loss of its original purpose. However, in the realm of later Celtic mythology, intriguing tales emerged. According to these mythological narratives, it was believed that the Tuatha Dé Danann, a mystical people, constructed Newgrange as a hallowed resting place for their revered leader, Dagda Mór. Furthermore, in the rich tapestry of Celtic mythology, Newgrange was also attributed as the sacred location where the great hero Cúchulainn was conceived, weaving an additional layer of mystique into the site’s enduring legacy.
Prior to the rediscovery of the passage and chamber in 1699, the mound was known as “Síd in Broga,” a term linked to the realm of fairy mounds in Irish folklore.

In 1699, it was the new landowner Charles Campbell who unwittingly stumbled upon Newgrange. He had purchased the land that included Newgrange, not knowing the historical treasure that lay hidden beneath the earth. While conducting excavation work on the property, laborers under Campbell’s employ discovered a long, low mound made of earth and stones. Little did they know that this seemingly ordinary mound held the secrets of Ireland’s distant past.

The workers began to dig, and as they uncovered more of the mound, they unearthed the entrance to a passage that led into the heart of the structure. Inside, they found an astonishing chamber, adorned with intricate carvings and mysterious symbols. This chamber was constructed with massive stones, and the ceiling was meticulously corbelled. As they ventured deeper into the passageway, they realized they had stumbled upon something extraordinary.

During the 18th century, Newgrange experienced a revival of interest as it was documented by numerous antiquarians and scholars. This rekindled attention gradually elevated its status, leading to its recognition as a venerable and significant ancient monument.

Newgrange prior to the excavations at the site in the 1960’s.
Professor Michael J. O’Kelly excavated and restored Newgrange during summer time excavations from 1962 to 1975. He discovered that the builders of Newgrange deliberately oriented the passage so that each year around the time of the winter solstice, the rays of the rising sun would shine through a special aperture he called a roofbox to illuminate the chamber.

In 1993, a pivotal moment in Newgrange’s history occurred as it earned the prestigious status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, alongside its neighboring passage tombs. This remarkable designation underscored its profound global importance and solidified its long-term safeguarding.
Vale of the Boyne and Royal Meath published in 1898
The Newgrange mound is 70 feet high and covers an area of about two acres. It is chiefly composed of small stones and earth, weighing, as has been estimated, 180,000 tons. Originally it was surrounded by a circle of huge pieces of rock, but only 10 of these now remain. The sepulchral tumulus of Newgrange is one of the most remarkable monuments of human skill and labor to be found in the world. It has long excited the interest and admiration of antiquaries of almost every civilized nation. It is probably of greater antiquity than the Pyramids of Egypt and well nigh approaches them in grandeur.
The chamber is approached by a passage running nearly north and south, 63 feet long, three feet wide, and at the entrance three and a half feet high, rising to six feet, where the central chamber is reached. The tourist will have to move forward some distance on his hands and knees to reach the great sepulchral chamber, but the guide will lead the way with a light, and little difficulty will be experienced in accomplishing the task. The chamber, which is cruciform, is 25 feet high in the center. It has three recesses, one opposite the entrance, one facing west, and one east.
These are seven to nine feet in height, width, and depth. The walls consist of enormous stones placed upright with slabs horizontally placed across their tops. The stones are so arranged that each layer projects further towards the center than the one below, till one stone is sufficient to close the roof. Many of the stones show most elaborate carvings, supposed by some antiquarians to be symbolical. They consist of lozenges, spirals, concentric circles, chevrons, and cup markings in profuse variety. Within the niches of the great central chamber are several large saucer-shaped blocks of stone, supposed to be rude sarcophagi. Some of the stones forming the chamber appear to be water worn, and it is thought have been brought originally from the bed of the Boyne.
The Mounds at both Dowth and Newgrange are supposed to be the sepulchral chambers of Irish potentates who lived centuries before the Christian era. Owing to the discovery of iron knives here it is believed that they were plundered by the Danes about the ninth century. From the tops of both Mounds can be had one of the finest views of beautiful landscape in Ireland. Beneath the eyes of the tourist lies the richest portion of the plains of Meath, and in the distance can be seen the Carlingford Hills and a long range of the Mourne Mountains stretching into the sea.
Newgrange from The Illustrated London News March 1887
John L. Stoddard’s Lectures published in 1901
Newgrange, easily reached from Dublin in a day, proved a most weird and interesting place. Leaving the jaunting-car which had brought me from the railway station a few miles away, I found myself confronted by what seemed to be merely an ordinary hill about seventy feet in height, covered with bushes, grass and trees. In reality, however, like the Pyramid of Cholula in Mexico, it is almost entirely artificial, and its green mantle covers an enormous cairn of stones, occupying nearly two acres, and estimated as weighing one hundred and eighty thousand tons.
Formerly a circle of thirty monster stones surrounded it, but all save twelve have disappeared. On reaching the entrance of this tumulus, I noticed that the huge stone threshold was carved with spirals, coils, and diamond-shaped figures in regular designs, which seemed like reproductions, on a gigantic scale, of the ornamentation wrought in gold filigree on some of the specimens of Celtic art preserved in the Dublin National Museum.
A narrow passage, sixty feet in length and lined with enormous blocks of stone, enabled me to go, without much difficulty, to what I found by lamplight to be a rotunda, whose dome-shaped roof, about twenty feet in height, was built by means of slabs which overlap one another toward the center, like a flight of steps.
What most surprised me here were the mysterious carvings which the lamplight showed on every portion of the walls from floor to ceiling. Why were they wrought here with such care, when it was known they would remain in total darkness, without an eye to note their beauty or significance? The hieroglyphics in the secret halls and apartments of Egyptian temples, such as Denderah and Edfou, though never greeted by the light of day, were seen at least by priests as they passed through those corridors with lamps; but this old Celtic tomb was closed designedly forever; and, like the Pyramids, would probably never have been disturbed but for the sacrilegious greed of man.
Did the devoted labor of those mound-builders spring from affection for the king who was to be buried here? Or did they hope that he would recompense them from the spirit world? The royal tombs of Egypt are immeasurably grander, and display decorations worthy of the art and civilization of the Pharaohs; but they resemble Celtic burial-mounds in this, that the motive for their construction was the same, – the old, old longing to rest undisturbed.
Among the mighty ones of earth, in view of death, the dread of desecration has at times proved greater than the fear of being forgotten, and has caused their graves to be made both as secret and as strong as possible. It is, however, pathetic to recall how seldom this desire has been realized. “The Scipios’ tombs contain no ashes now.”
Where is the body, where even the superb sarcophagus, of Alexander the Great? Whither did Father Tiber bear the ashes of the Roman emperors, flung by the Goths from the imposing Mausoleum of Hadrian? Even the Pyramids, the oldest, mightiest and most-enduring structures ever reared by man, could not retain within their chambers, hidden with such skill, the bodies of their royal builders.
So, in this Celtic cairn, plundered by Danes eleven hundred years ago, no trace remains of him who was in all probability buried here with pomp and pageantry, characteristic of the Irish kings. Whether, indeed, it was the tomb of one king, or of many, who can tell? From its shrouded solitude there comes to us no whisper, even of a name.
Newgrange after excavation and restoration
The Valley of the Boyne – The Charm of Ireland 1914
We set off again, and the car climbed up and up to the summit of the ridge which overlooks the river; and presently we were rolling along a narrow road bordered with lofty elms, and then, in a broad pasture to our right, we saw another mound, far larger than the first, and knew that it was Newgrange.
Four mighty stones stand like sentinels before it. The largest of them is eight or nine feet high above the ground and at least twenty in girth; and they are all that are left of a ring of thirty-five similar monsters which once guarded the great cairn with a circle a quarter of a mile around. Like the tumulus of Dowth, this of Newgrange is girdled by a ring of great stone blocks, averaging eight or ten feet in length, and laid closely end to end ; and on top of them is a wall of un cemented stones three or four feet high. Behind the wall rises the cairn, overgrown with grass and bushes and even trees; but below the skin of earth is the pile of stones, heaped above the chambers of the dead.
The entrance here is a few feet above the level of the ground, and is the true original entrance, which the one at Dowth is not, for the level of the ground there has risen. This little door consists of two upright slabs and a transverse one. Below it is placed a great stone, covered with a rich design of that spiral ornamentation peculiar to the ancient Irish emblematic, it is said, of eternity, without beginning and without end. The stone above the door is also carved, and my photograph, opposite this page, gives a very fair idea of how the entrance looks.
We found a woman waiting for us she had heard the rattle of our wheels far down the road, and had hastened from her house nearby to earn sixpence by providing us with candles; and she led the way through the entrance into the passage beyond. As at Dowth, it is formed of huge slabs inclined against each other.
But here they have given way under the great weight heaped upon them, and the passage grew lower and lower, until the woman in front of us was crawling on her hands and knees. The clergyman, who was behind her, examined the low passage by the light of his candle, and then said he didn’t think he’d try it.
“Oh, come along, sir,” urged the woman’s voice. ” ‘Tis only a few yards, and then you can stand again. If you was a heavy man, now, I wouldn’t be advisin’ it; I’ve seen more than one who had to be pulled out by his feet; but for a slim man the likes of you sure it is nothing.”
He still held back, so I squeezed past him, and went down on hands and knees, and crawled slowly forward in three-legged fashion holding my candle in one hand,, over the strip of carpet which had been laid on the stones to protect the clothing of visitors. As our guide had said, the passage soon opened up so that it was possible to stand upright again. I called back encouragement to my companion, and he finally crawled through too ; and then, as I held my candle aloft, I saw: that we had come out into a great vaulted chamber at least twenty feet high. Here, as at Dowth, the sides are formed of mammoth slabs, and the vault of other slabs laid one upon the other, each row projecting beyond the row below until the center is reached. Here too there are three recesses; but everything is on a grander scale than at Dowth, and the ornamentation is much more elaborate. It consists of intricate and beautifully formed spirals, coils, lozenges and chevrons; and here, also, the vandal had been at work, scratching his initials, sometimes even his detested name, upon these sacred stones. There was one especially glaring set of initials right opposite the entrance, deeply and evidently freshly cut, and I asked the woman how such a thing could happen.
“Ah, sir,” she said, “that was done by a young man who you would never think would be doing such a thing. He come here one day, not long since, and with him was a young woman, and they were very quiet and nice-appearing, so after I had brought them in, I left them to their selves, for I had me work to do ; but when I came in later, with another party, that was what I saw. And I made the vow then that never again would I be leaving any one alone here, no matter how respectable they might look.”
We commended her wisdom, and turned back to an inspection of the carvings. It was noticeable that there was no attempt at any general scheme of decoration, for the spirals and coils were scattered here and there without any reference to each other, some of them in inaccessible corners which proved they had been made before the stones were placed in position. Evidently they had been carved wherever the whim of the sculptor suggested; and so, in spite of their delicacy and beauty, they are in a way supremely childish.
But there is nothing childish about the tomb itself. Nobody knows from what forgotten quarry these great slabs were cut. Wherever it was, they had to be lifted out and dragged to the top of this hill and set in position and many of them weigh more than a hundred tons. The passage from the central chamber to the edge of the mound is sixty-two feet long; the mound itself is eight hundred feet around and fifty high, and someone has estimated that the stones which compose it weigh more than a hundred thousand tons.
For whom was it built? Perhaps for Conn, the Hundred Fighter, for tradition records that he was buried here, and he was worthy of such a tomb. If it was for Conn and of course that is only a guess it dates from about 200 A. D., for tradition has it that it was in 212 that Conn was treacherously slain at Tara, while preparing for the great festival of the Druids. Conn’s son, Art, was the last of the Pagan kings to be buried in the Druid fashion, for Art’s great son, Cormac, who came to the throne in 254, chose another sepulcher. He seems to have got some inkling of Christianity, perhaps from traders from other lands who visited his court. At any rate, he turned away from the Druids, and they put a curse upon him and caused a devil to attack him while at table, so that the bone of a salmon stuck in his throat and he died. But with his last breath he forbade his followers to bury him at Brugh-na-Boinne, in the tumulus with Conn and the rest, because that was a grave of idolaters ; he worshipped another God who had come out of the East; and he commanded them to bury him on the hill called Rosnaree, with his face to the sunrise. They disregarded his command, and tried to carry his body across the Boyne to the tumulus; but the water rose and snatched the body from them, and carried it to Rosnaree; and so there it was buried. From Newgrange, one can see the slope of Rosnaree, just across the river; but there is nothing to mark the grave of the greatest of the early kings of Erin.
Round Cormac spring renews her buds ;
In march perpetual by his side,
Down come the earth-fresh April floods,
And up the sea-fresh salmon glide.
And life and time rejoicing run
From age to age their wonted way;
But still he waits the risen Sun,
For still ’tis only dawning Day.

Science News –
Astronomers just recently found Nyx, a dwarf galaxy discovered making its method towards the center of the Galaxy, revealing a history of merging excellent bodies. Researchers are now report covert brand-new galaxies hiding in the Milky Way called the South Pole Wall.
( Image: Downloaded From South Pole Wall official site )
The Milky Way Galaxy is fixated our star the Sun where planets, dust, and other area objects are bound together through gravitational forces. The spiral galaxy consists of approximately 100 billion stars.
Missions such as the Worldwide Astrometric Interferometer for Astrophysics ( Gaia) by the European Space Agency has been running for more than six years to create an accurate three-dimensional map of the whole Milky Way. Today’s technology allows professionals to observe bodies in space approximately 10s of billions of light-years far from Earth.
Observing the galaxy has been possible with missions like Gaia, NASA’s Hubble Area Telescope, the Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) in Chile, and lots of others. Astronomers are extremely anticipating the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope into space where it will ‘hunt for the unseen development of the first galaxies, in addition to look inside dust could where stars and planetary systems are forming today,’ according to NASA.
On July 10, cosmographers released a report in The Astrophysical Journal of a brand-new surprise collection of galaxies found in the Galaxy called the South Pole Wall. They found the enormous excellent assembly as cosmographers established brand-new strategies to find and map astral bodies not seen directly.
The South Pole Wall determines about 1.4 billion light-years across the entire collection of stars and worlds that stayed in concealing until now. The giant wall is observed to be coincidental with Earth’s south celestial pole which the team compared ‘to the Sloan Great Wall at half the distance’ and lies opposite of the Shapley Supercluster.
Science News – Hidden in the Milky Way
The discovery was made by Daniel Pomarède from Paris-Saclay University alongside R. Brent Tully and a team from the University of Hawaii. Pomarède shared, ‘One may wonder how such a large and not-so-distant structure stayed undetected.’
‘ This is because of its place in an area of the sky that has not been totally surveyed, and where direct observations are hindered by foreground spots of stellar dust and clouds,’ Pomarède continued. ‘We have actually found it thanks to its gravitational influence, imprinted in the velocities of a sample of galaxies.’
One obstacle to their observations the South Pole Wall’s area behind the Chamaeleon cloud complex. The star-forming region includes Chamaeleon I, II, and II dark clouds or absorption nebulas that are thick sufficient to keep the excellent light of the brand-new collection of galaxies hidden in the Galaxy.

Science News – 100 Million Billion Stars
To map what the cosmographers could not see, they collected data from previous studies, determined their movement far from Earth and all the surrounding gravitational forces, then created a 2D and 3D map. Their outcome was an enormous structure of whole galaxies organized together totaling up to about 100 million billion stars.
It remains a secret what the South Pole Wall would appear like if the dark clouds were removed in front of it or what all that unique matter really consists of. The best educated guess the group made is hundreds of countless galaxies full of stars and worlds yet to be found.

Major e-sports events have players who symbolize the sport. StarCraft’s Lim Yo-hwan, Kartrider’s Moon Ho-joon, and League of Legends’s Faker Lee Sang-hyuk. And there is a knee Bae Jae-min in the Tekken. In particular, following the World Fighting Game Tournament ‘EVO 2022’, which was held on the 8th, the Ten 22 season Tekken 7 Korea-Japan War, which was held in Liberation Day, showed overwhelming performance. In the case of Korea-Japan, the best thing is to play in the first round and catch five Japanese players alone.
‘Knee’ started his career in the game of Game Week Bae Tekken 5 in November 2004. In 2007, he won the world championship in 2007 and announced his name overseas beyond Korea. While the series changed three times to 2 and Tekken 7, he was a top player with countless careers.
Even now, the move continues. The EVO 2022 video posted on the official YouTube channel of the Knee has exceeded 1.7 million views in 10 days, and many fans celebrate the championship through comments, and for the long-term career for the long-term career, regardless of the sports. I was cheering. E-sports athletes, who have been active for 18 years since 2004 and have maintained this performance and performance, are rarely found in Tekken and other sports.
The domestic tekken version, which was somewhat quiet in the ‘knee’ success since early August, is also shaking. Related keyword searches have increased significantly from ‘knee’, ‘tekken’ and ‘Bae Jae-min’. After watching the game, the so-called Tekken Pong was often used to buy a game. ‘Knee’ is also teaching tips for the Tekken through personal broadcasting, so if you are an entrepreneur, you may want to refer to it.
After winning the EVO 2022, ‘Knee’ said, It is dense because it has won the championship that was so hoped for the international competition after a long time in the aftermath of the corona virus. It has been shifted from online to offline one after another, and the e-sports permanent stadium is also open from Busan..
One week of the user comments cited in [Egu Dongseong] will be drawn each week (Game Mecca Account) to send a game novel (ripper book) of Zeu Media. The selected user will inform you of the address and contact information by the winning guide email sent by the e-mail described in the member information.
There is no excellent comment this week.

"CC exemplifies everything Roc Nation looks for in an athlete and a partner," Roc Nation Sports president Juan Perez said in a statement.
Sabathia, 33, has at least three years left on his contract, which comes with a guaranteed $76 million. But when contract conversations do come up, which won't take place until before the 2017 season at the earliest, Roc Nation spokesman Ron Berkowitz said Jay Z and Perez plan on negotiating the pitcher's deal.
Sabathia has an endorsement deal with the Jordan brand, and in the past couple of years has done commercials for both Pepsi and Subway.
Sabathia had been with the firm now known as Legacy Sports Group his entire career.
Last month, one of the firm's other clients, Robinson Cano, left the Yankees to sign a 10-year, $240 million contract with the Seattle Mariners. Jay Z's other clients include Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant and WNBA player Skylar Diggins.
In some cases, Roc Nation Sports splits its business with other firms. Cano's contract was done in partnership with CAA. CAA and Roc Nation Sports have rights to Cruz's on-field contract, but IMG represents him exclusively for endorsements.
To this point, Roc Nation Sports has not signed a player in this year's NFL draft class.

text: It feels like only a few weeks ago that I was photographing Alisa and Jason’s wedding photos in downtown San Diego. I remember when I first took photos of them at the engagement session. I couldn’t believe how perfect they were for each other. When they told me they were expecting a little nugget, I was ecstatic and honored that they wanted to work with me again. I knew they would make the best parents and I’m excited that I get to capture little Hudson several times this year with the Newborn Package.

Coronation Street star John Savident has died aged 86.
John was best known for playing the role of Fred Elliott in the popular soap.
The actor first appeared in the show in 1994 and was quickly established as a fan favourite while playing the character of butcher Fred.
John's agent announced the actors passing, saying: "We are sad to announce the death of the actor John Savident who died on Wednesday 21 February.
"He was a much-loved husband and father of two and will be sorely missed by all who knew him."
John's character Fred had his fair share of ups and downs in the dramatic Corrie storylines over the years.
The character suffered three failed marriages as well as seven failed proposals during his time in Weatherfield.
In 2006, his character Fred was killed off the show after suffering a stroke on the day he was supposed to marry Bev Unwin, played by Susie Blake.
His death also saw Audrey Roberts, played by Sue Nicholls, admit she still loved him after turning down his marriage proposal years before.
John was also involved in other TV shows throughout his career including Yes, Minister, biopic Gandhi, Stanley Kubrick's dystopian thriller A Clockwork Orange and war film Battle Of Britain.
He also appeared in Doctor Who and period dramas The Remains Of The Day and Middlemarch.
John was in the first staging of the musical Phantom Of The Opera in October 1986, starring as Monsieur Firmin.
In 2011, he then returned to play the character at the Royal Albert Hall concert film.
John leaves behind his theatre director wife Rona Hopkinson and their two children.


The Tetrarch marked a significant diversion in light tank design, utilising four large road wheels per side which could be turned at small angle to enable high speed manoeuvring. It was armed with a 2pdr gun and co-axial MG but by the time they came into service their usefulness was limited by its weak armour and gun. Not many Tetrarchs were produced - between 100 and 170 - but were utilised by 6th Airborne Division in Normandy. Around 20 were sent to the USSR under lend lease and, as far as can be determined, only two saw combat, both being destroyed in the Autumn of 1943.

Explore aristocratic palaces, find a hidden iconic statue or discover the oldest pharmacy in the town! You can experience all of this on Panska Street.
Bratislava experienced one of its best times in the 18th century, during the reign of Maria Theresa. She was very fond of our city and frequently visited it from nearby Vienna. During that time, the Hungarian aristocracy built many luxurious palaces in Bratislava, to be close to her during her visits. Therefore there are several impressive aristocratic buildings standing on one of the streets of the Old Town, accurately called Panská Street (translated as Aristocracy Street). It used to be one of the best addresses in town for higher society.
MAIN SIGHTS – PALACES
There are five beautiful palaces standing on the Panská Street. All of them vary in their architectural styles. Let’s start with the Esterhazy Palace from 1743. Admire its baroque facade with a monumental gate with an arc celebrating one of the most important Hungarian families, Esterhazy. The architecture of this building strongly reflects the Viennese architectural influence represented mostly by Johann B. Fischer.
On the right side, next to the Esterhazy Palace, at the address Panská 15, you can admire the Balass Palace from 1762. It beautifully shows how the architecture style changed in a 20-year period and how the subtle but impressive rococo replaced the pompous baroque style. Do notice its elegant allegorical statues on its facade, depicting human virtues – judgement, moderation, justice and courage.
The Keglevich Palace is a baroque mansion on Panská 27. It is one of the city’s cultural real estate monuments. They built it on the remains of the gothic and renaissance masonry from the previous buildings. Count Joseph Keglevich built this mansion, however, he was not its most famous occupant. It was a certain Anna Louise Barbara Keglevich, also called Babette, who was given private lessons by Ludwig van Beethoven in Vienna and Bratislava. Beethoven even composed a few sonatas dedicated to her and performed concerts at the Keglevich Palace!
The floor plan of the palace has a distinctive U-shape. Do notice a beautiful facade with lion statues and coat of arms of Count Joseph Keglevich – it has a red base with two silver stripes and two golden lions holding a sword with a golden hilt on the blue background which runs into the crown with nine pearls, a symbol of countship. The second crown with nine pearls stands on the top of the coat of arms.
The Csáky Palace from 1775 stands on Panská 33. It is a National Cultural Monument of the Slovak Republic.
The Palffy Palace standing on Panská 19 has a beautiful facade in a classical style. It hides one of the oldest architectural landmarks in the city. The oldest layer discovered under the palace is at least 2000 years old and dates back to the period of the first Bratislava’s inhabitants – Celts. The palace itself is a medieval building but contains 700-year old masonry from the 13th century together with the Roman bricks. The palace also has many gothic elements, mostly windows and portals. It currently houses the The Bratislava City Gallery.
The numerous palaces are not the only sight you should notice when walking down this street. There is a funny little figure hidden at the facade of one of the houses called Posmievačik (the mocking man). Look for the optician shop called Fokus (it is the building number 29). Look up and you will see a small funny naked man hiding there in a hole. Rumour has it that this man was set there to ridicule a former owner of the building who used to spy on the passers through a small window.
Corporis Christi Chapel stands at Panská 11 and does not look like a church building at all. Its premises are part of the baroque-classical house. The current chapel from 1775 replaced the original chapel from 1396 which was destroyed during the rebellions against the Habsburg monarchy. The current facade contains an embossment depicting Resurrection with a long inscription and Coat of Arms of Archbishop John Telegdy who sponsored the rebuilding works.
Another impressive building is a former Salvator’s apothecary at Panská 35. It is the oldest pharmacy in Bratislava established in 1904 by the pharmacist Rudolf Adler. It has survived all the regimes since the monarchy, through the first republic and during the socialism but was unfortunately shut down in 1995 and has remained closed since then. Therefore you can admire it only from the outside. Its facade contains several architectural styles including the late gothic, renaissance and baroque elements. The most dominant object is a statue of Christ the Saviour by the popular sculptor Alojz Rigele. You can see three different names of the pharmacy on the building – in Slovak, German and Hungarian language.
The Panská Street connects at one end with the beautiful Rudnay Square. It is a place where one of the city gates used to stand – Vydricka Gate. This gate has not been preserved up till now and the only reminder are the few blocks on the corner house. From the Rudnay Square, you can easily reach the St. Martin’s Cathedral from its southern side.
Admire the beautiful small Rudnay Square which is very popular for its unique atmosphere. We love how the park area around the church connects with the street where you can find many restaurants and cafes. It is a truly enjoyable spot to sit down and have a drink or two.
TAKE A BREAK
Panska is a lively street in the heart of Old Town and therefore full of places to enjoy good coffee, excellent meals, beer or wine. These are some of our favourite ones!
Žil Verne is a cool beer pub inspired by a famous writer Jules Verne. Minibar by Spin is a tiny bar with a concept based on regularly changing signature cocktails and shots ideal for crazy party nights. Another bar tip is the Baudelaire Evil Flowers Bar with creative literary concept and excellent drinks. Five points is a hip coffee place which serves nice breakfast, excellent coffee and cakes. NiceFries offers amazing street food meals with fries which made it to our list of top street food places in Bratislava. Mondieu is a very popular café serving healthy meals, vegan options and the best sweets ever! Gatto Matto with its Italian cuisine will satisfy hungry passersby. We have a soft spot for San Marten with its summer terrace, great wine selection and tasty food. It also made it to our list of the best wine places.

Packing can be very challenging. You only want to take the absolutely necessary… but what is that, really? You want to take extra clothing with you in case something bad happens, but that will just add weight that could prove unnecessary. On the other hand, you don’t want to end up with only dirty clothes before the trip is over…
If you travel by plane, before you pack you first should be informed about the rules of baggage. IATA “passenger baggage rules ” can help you with that. Then you can choose what kind of bag you will take accordingly. Can you pack all you need in a carry-on baggage? If not, what should you put in the checked baggage?
Electronic devices, like laptop and tablets, should go with you in your carry-on baggage and should be completely turned off. However, you have to think if you need to take them with you as they mean extra weight. You may also have to unpack them in security check. In addition, together with your smartphone, you need to carry the corresponding chargers and, ideally, an electric extension cord (hotels might only have one power plug available, so an electric extension cord could be handy). Speaking of power plugs, you should check if you need to take an adapter with you.
In case your baggage gets lost, you might want to have with you some extra clothing and your hygiene items, although the airport could provide a toiletries’ kit in these cases. If you take your hygiene items with you, and you are travelling by plane, you need to be aware of liquid restrictions. One way to go around this is to check if the hotel where you are staying provides free toiletries (shower gel and shampoo, usually). If you don’t have allergies problems, you can use these. However, you have to take with you some items like creams and toothpaste. Of course you can buy all of these at a local supermarket. Anyway, be sure to only pack those items which are indispensable.
Should you take an extra pair of shoes? It depends on the purpose of your visit. If you’re going to hike during the day and going to have dinner in fancy restaurants, you should consider taking an extra pair of shoes. However, if you are going to do a backpacker kind of trip, then maybe you shouldn’t. However, do be aware that you may need a pair of slippers at night, at least.
Finally, the real challenge: how much clothing should you pack? It depends on the number of days that you are travelling and the purpose of your visit. If you are going to a conference, you have to pack formal or smart clothing as well as informal clothing for the flights and eventual leisure trips. If you are on a backpacking trip, you should only pack comfortable outfits. You also may consider taking soap with you for washing up sometimes. If you are on a beach holidays you probably are packing much lighter than if you are on a skiing holidays. Furthermore, the means of transportation can also influence your decision: if you are travelling in your own car, your worries about quantity and weight are less important than if you are travelling by plane.

Action creates wisdom. Wisdom creates peace. We take action .
HOW I BEGAN
My name is Wang Bo. I was born in a traditional farming village in the Shandong province of China. My parents were farmers, and I am the youngest of three. My parents had to work hard every day to provide for us, but they were always loving and kind. I started practicing Baji Kung Fu with my father when I was three, and it became my favorite thing to do. He could see that I loved it, and when I was 5 years old, my father sold a large part of our farm in order to send me and my brother to a special Kung Fu school in the city, 50 miles away from our village.
I was born and raised in this house until I was 8 years old
My second home - the Shaolin Temple, which changed my life forever
A SHAOLIN STORY
Millions have dreamed of training at the Shaolin Temple, the birthplace of martial arts. I was among the fortunate ones, chosen at the age of 8 to live and train in the Shaolin Temple. When I was accepted, I got so excited that I passed out and fell face-down on a table. Today, I still have a scar on my forehead - it will always be a reminder of how happy I was that day.
Life in the temple was very hard, but I was peaceful and content. Even through the blood, sweat, and tears, it was a happy time of learning and brotherhood. Since ancient times, daily life in the Shaolin temple has included the study and practice of Buddhism, meditation, learning about herbal medicines, Qigong, and kung fu. We also took care of the temple - cleaning the buildings and grounds and working in the gardens.
Each day began at 5am, chanting and praying for an hour and a half. Morning chanting is about praying for peace, enlightenment and to purify our spirits. The food we ate at the temple was vegetarian - all based on vegetables and herbs that grew in our gardens and around the Shaolin Temple. We had our own center for herbal medicine, and we would gather wild Reishi mushrooms, teas, and other herbs in the nearby mountains. Hunting for herbs and cleaning the temple were actually the most fun times at the Temple for us because we had a little time to play together.
We were required to train for eight hours every day; we had no weekends off. We trained in the sun and snow; no matter how hot or cold it was, the training never stopped. Once, when I was still very young, we were training on Shaoshi mountain. I was tired and moving slowly, and I got left behind by the group. I was lost, scared, and hungry, and I didn’t find my way back to the temple until after dark. My master was waiting in front of the temple, but all he said to me was, “Getting lost is part of training.” Then he turned and walked away. At that moment, I hated him, and I couldn’t hold back my tears. That was the first time I learned that crying is not something we can control.
In the evening, we had Buddhism and meditation classes. After a long day of training, we were all tired and restless, and this was when we would get into trouble - falling asleep while reading sutras, talking during class, teasing each other while meditating. But our masters were strict. On the average day, I would get whacked by the teachers around six times, but that’s not too bad - some boys got whacked more than 10 times.
When I was nine years old, I was chosen to be part of the Shaolin Temple's ambassador team. I had the opportunity to travel to over 45 countries to promote Buddhism and Shaolin Kung Fu and to meet people like Queen Elizabeth II of England, and King Juan Carlos I of Spain.
Henry Kissinger, US 56th Secretary of State
King Juan Carlos I of Spain
Queen Elizabeth II of England
In 2008, I decided to move to Los Angeles. It was a huge struggle for me. I had to learn how to survive in the city without money. I slept in the park, fought with surfers over their turf, and I didn’t have enough to eat. During that time, I experienced what it is to be really lost and helpless. When I thought of giving up, my master’s words came back to me: “Getting lost is part of training.” I found courage through the words I had hated so much back then. I decided to work hard to survive, and I did. I opened my first Kung Fu studio in 2010, and four years later, I opened my second studio. I had the opportunity to meet so many great friends and students. In 2015, I sold my studios and decided to build a center online where I could reach many more people. This website is my online temple where I want to share Buddhism, herbal medicines, and all other Shaolin practices. Connect with me here and on all my channels.
Over the years, I have been so fortunate. I was featured on the cover of Black Belt Magazine twice, as well as in the Wall Street Journal, Yoga Journal, and South Bay Magazine. I was inspired by my history to create a new type of practice called Hungrymonk Yoga, which incorporates Kung Fu and Tai Chi into a new type of yoga. And I am now bringing herbal remedies from the Shaolin Temple to the US for the first time.

It’s the first in a new series of books that will mark the release of a billion books worldwide in 2019, with the first book being published by author Robert Louis Stevenson and publisher Random House on April 15.
The collection will be a one-of-a-kind treasure trove of information that will make a reader wonder what they’re missing out on by not having a library card to browse through their book collections.
“This collection will help the reader get a better understanding of the richness and breadth of literature,” said Stevenson.
“I know the book is going to be big, but I also know that it will be fun to read.”
The first book, “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time”, will be published in 2019 by Random House.
“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” which was published in 1885 by Penguin Random House, will be released by Penguin on April 17.
“A Little Life,” a collection of short stories by Ernest Hemingway, will also be published by Penguin in 2019.
And, of course, there will be books about celebrities, including a collection by American author James Patterson, which will be on sale on April 18.
The book will be available in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Russian.
“I have a huge collection of books, and I’ve been reading through my entire life,” said Emma D. Smith, a lifelong reader of fiction, and the author of “A Little Girl’s Book”.
“And it’s only been five years since I read ‘A Little Lady’s Book’, so I can’t wait to find my next one.”
She added: “The number of books I’ve already read has doubled in the past five years, so it’s really exciting to see the world of books growing and expanding.”
The collection is available in digital format through the Penguin Classics website.

Fabio Novembre is a renowned architect and designer with a unique design flair. Novembre's notoriously eccentric personality is reflected in his works, which are inspired by baroque and are designed 'for pleasure and beauty.' Novembre's architectural career first took off whilst reading Film Studies in New York, a qualification he had to abandon in favour of his new vocation. The idea that he could turn his forsaken cinematic ideas into architectural concepts has influenced his vision ever since, resulting in a rejection of traditionally accepted styles and an effort to further develop his unique aesthetic with each assignment. This title showcases Novembre's oeuvre within a beautiful Italian-made book that is an object of design in itself.
Fabio Novembre is an incredibly successful architect and designer, featured on a regular basis in many architecture and design magazines. He worked as Creative Director of successful mosaic tile manufacturer Bisazza, making it a world leader during his time there.

Greece's entry into the ERM, the result of a successful and continuing convergence policy, together with the inevitable effect on the economy of the country's hosting of the Millennium Olympics, have made future prospects in Athens appear buoyant.
The Simitis-led government's tough economic policies have brought Greece on-line to join EMU in 2001, and with inflation and the budget deficit on a downward curve the government's strategy is being supported by the markets.
Procopis Andrianopolis, head of money markets at the National Bank of Greece in London, believes however that optimism should be tempered with caution over the next six months. It is the policy of the central bank to keep short-term rates higher to help stabilise the drachma following the 14% devaluation earlier this year. There was a great demand for these bonds following devaluation, but that will taper off, I believe, and yields will fall."
Indeed the drachma has regained some ground following the controlled devaluation on ERM entry, and the bank may act sooner rather than later.
Despite his caution, however, Andrianopolis believes that all the macro indicators are good and that barring a few hiccups, possibly a flattening of the inflation curve, the Government's targets should be met. This view of the fixed interest markets is shared by Andreas Brodtmann, a director of the Berenberg-Hellas-Olympia fund in Athens. "The strong, stable showing of the drachma will allow the bank to bring short-term interest rates down," he said.
"This would be in line with what we have witnessed over long-term rates. Ten year bonds were yielding 10%-12%, but now after the lull following the first wave of the Asian crisis, that is down to 8%. That is, however, comparatively high, and I would expect them to fall even further." The confidence of the equity market is highlighted by Brodtmann. He is confident that the increased liquidity means there is real scope for improved growth. With the Greek p/e ratio below the European average, the earnings growth of the major listed companies is expected to be well above that of comparable listings.
"Consolidation and mergers are also likely to be a major driving force this year. The banking sector is particularly interesting with rumours of both domestic mergers and international takeovers. With p/e ratios of around 12% in the banking sector, compared with European averages of around 20%, the National Bank of Greece, Ergobank and Alpha Credit bank could all be involved in this process," said Brodtmann.
The privatisation of 10 major state-owned companies will also provide a massive boost to the index, as will the deregulation of the en-ergy, transport and telecommunications sectors.
George Athanasakis, equity analyst at NBG International believes there are other positive influences at work at present. "I would expect to see a relaxing of interest rates as inflation continues to fall, giving a boost to the market, and also expect to see mutual funds getting much more involved in the equities market. Also we are witnessing, for the first time, a positive economic cycle in Greece. Previously GDP was up and down and inflation stubbornly high, but in the last for years with the help of EU funds we have more stability and consequently more investment." Kevin Hall"

A cat in Big Horn has been confirmed to have been infected with the plague, the state Department of Health announced [Wed 29 Aug 2018].
There are no known human cases in that area or in Wyoming as a whole.
There hasn't been a confirmed case since 2008, according to a department press release.
The cat "is known to wander outdoors," the release said.
The case comes a little over a year after the plague was found in prairie dogs in the Thunder Basin National Grassland, the 1st time the disease popped up there in more than 15 years.
"Plague is a serious bacterial infection that can be deadly for pets and for people if not treated as soon as possible with antibiotics," Alexia Harrist, state health officer and epidemiologist, said in a statement.
"The disease can be transmitted to humans from ill animals and by fleas coming from infected animals."
Department spokeswoman Kim Deti did not immediately return a request for comment late [Wed 29 Aug 2018] morning.
There have been just 6 cases of plague in humans here since 1978, according to the department.
The United States overall averages 7 human cases a year.
Signs in pets include swelling in the neck, face or ears; lack of energy; fever; chills; coughing; vomiting; diarrhoea; and dehydration.
Humans have similar symptoms, along with difficulty breathing, headaches and abdominal pain.
The department recommends using insect repellent on boots and pants in areas possibly having fleas; using flea repellent on pets; properly disposing of rodents brought home by pets; avoid exposure and contact to rodents dead or alive, and avoid areas with "unexplained rodent die-offs."
The Black Death, also known as the Great Plague, the Black Plague, or the Plague, was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Eurasia and peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351.
The bacterium Yersinia pestis, which results in several forms of plague, is believed to have been the cause.
The plague created a series of religious, social and economic upheavals, which had profound effects on the course of European history.
The Black Death is thought to have originated in the dry plains of Central Asia, where it travelled along the Silk Road, reaching Crimea by 1343.
From there, it was most likely carried by Oriental rat fleas living on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships, spreading throughout the Mediterranean and Europe.
The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30–60% of Europe's total population.
In total, the plague may have reduced the world population from an estimated 450 million down to 350–375 million in the 14th century.
It took 200 years for the world population to recover to its previous level.
The plague recurred as outbreaks in Europe until the 19th century. Credit Wikipedia.
Is the plague on a resurgence?
In November 2017, a total of 2119 confirmed, probable and suspected cases of plague, including more than 200 deaths were reported by the Ministry of Health of Madagascar to the World Health Organization, WHO.
The island off the east coast of Africa is no stranger to the Bubonic Plague with small outbreaks every year, what was disturbing this year, however, was the fact most of the cases in this year's outbreak was the pneumonic plague, a more virulent form that spreads through coughing, sneezing, or spitting and is almost always fatal if untreated.
For the 1st time, the disease long seen in the country's remote areas was largely concentrated in its 2 largest cities, Antananarivo and Toamasina.
As the outbreak of the plague in Madagascar continued to evolve at a pace an alarming development saw the disease arrive in the Seychelles.
Health officials in Seychelles confirmed that 3 people tested positive for the Bubonic Plague in November.
In December 2017 Peru was the latest country to discover rats infected with the plague after the epidemic scare in Madagascar.
A ten-year-old boy in Siberia's Altai Republic contracted the bubonic plague, local medics told TASS in July 2017.
The boy was hospitalized with a high fever and tested positive for bubonic plague.
It is thought he later died.
2 bears were found in California with the plague just last summer: Positive bear samples were found in 32 counties in California.
Navajo County Health Department was also urging the public to take precautions to reduce their risk of exposure to this serious disease, after being found in rodents in the Arizona county.
The Apache County Health Department recently notified the public about a new prairie dog die-off in Concho, Arizona, in August 2017.
In June 2017, two more cases of human plague were confirmed in New Mexico.
The New Mexico Department of Health said a 52-year-old woman and a 62-year-old woman were recently diagnosed with the plague.
According to health officials, the first confirmed case of the plague last year occurred in June when a 63-year-old man contracted the plague.
In July last year, Parks Canada closed off a Saskatchewan national park's remote prairie dog colony to the public after two rodents from the area tested positive for sylvatic plague — the same bacteria that causes the bubonic and pneumonic plagues in humans.
According to the World Health Organization, more than 13,000 people contracted bubonic plague in Asia, Africa and America between 2004 and 2013.
Roughly 900 of them died from the disease.
250 have died in Madagascar this year in just two and a half months, which is thought to be the biggest outbreak in 50 years.

Last week, New York State passed a sweeping package of rent reforms that dramatically strengthens tenants’ rights for millions of New Yorkers in rent regulated apartments. The new legislation also opens up an ambitious new front of struggle that could fuel the spread of tenant organizing, socialist political campaigns, and the expansion of rent control all across the state.
For decades, tenants have been fighting a war of attrition — trying to protect the state’s dwindling regulated housing stock against a sustained assault from the real estate industry and their allies in Albany. The rent law package passed last week took meaningful steps to reverse landlord influence over housing policy in New York — influence that has led to the deregulation of hundreds of thousands of apartments and a homelessness crisis of epic proportions.
The reaction of the industry and the business press tells us what we need to know about the significance of the legislation. One landlord who owns nine rent stabilized buildings told the Financial Times, “I feel like someone just dropped a nuclear bomb on my business and my family.” The stock prices for the banks that provide loans to speculators fell precipitously, and the titans of real estate were reduced to pitifully whining to their ally Governor Andrew Cuomo, to no effect.
While these historic changes will reduce the pressure on nearly two million rent stabilized tenants mostly in New York City, housing advocates’ signature policy demand did not pass. Democratic socialist Senator Julia Salazar’s “good cause eviction” bill would have prevented almost any tenant, anywhere in the state, whether their building was regulated or not, from facing a rent increase of more than 1.5x the rate of inflation. The ambitious good cause legislation — which would have guaranteed truly universal rent control — faced the most intense opposition from real estate and the business press. Despite substantial pressure from housing advocates, the Democratic Assembly and Senate were unwilling to include it in their deal.
The failure of good cause was a disappointment. But housing advocates still achieved one other major, though overlooked, victory: the expansion of the Emergency Tenant Protection Act to cover the entire state. Prior to last week the ETPA was in effect only in NYC and its suburban counties. With the new change, municipalities across the state can implement rent stabilization as long as they can demonstrate a housing vacancy rate below 5 percent through a local study. Many localities can meet that bar right now, as the state’s housing crisis continues worsen. The ETPA’s expansion provides an opportunity for the organized left to build on last week’s historic victory and bring class struggle politics to the local governments of communities across the state.
This year’s major gains for tenants are due to a profoundly changed political landscape in New York that put the real estate industry on the defensive for the first time in decades. In recent years, Republican control of the State Senate has been empowered by a group of rogue “independent” Democrats financed by the real estate industry and tacitly supported by Governor Andrew Cuomo. Last year, six members of that ‘Independent Democratic Conference’ were unseated by progressive Democratic primary challengers. A successful general election gave the Democrats a seven-seat advantage in the State Senate (without their disloyal “independent” faction) and unified control of the state government.
The Democratic majority was absolutely essential to improving the rent laws. But without changing political dynamics within the Democratic Party, real estate donors might still have found a welcome ear from candidates whom they have been funding for years, and could likely have secured a much more modest set of reforms to the system.
Unfortunately for the real estate industry, last year marked the startling success of an explicitly class-conscious politics within the Democratic Party primaries. This politics focused on the dual issues of a housing crisis squeezing renters and a political system funded by landlords and developers. Political contributions by the real estate industry were an almost completely unquestioned feature of Democratic politics in New York until just a few years ago.
That started to change in a contested 2015 State Assembly race in Crown Heights, which evolved into a proxy battle between Brooklyn’s powerful political machine and Diana Richardson, a progressive backed by the Working Families Party. That election was reshaped when the Crown Heights Tenants Union called upon all the candidates to pledge not to take real estate money. Diana Richardson was the only candidate to take the pledge, and was able to turn an otherwise sleepy special election into a referendum on the role of real estate in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. She won decisively.
In 2018 Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s congressional campaign beat one of the most powerful Democratic figures in the state, sending shockwaves through the establishment. That was quickly followed by another democratic socialist upset in the election of Julia Salazar over incumbent Democratic state senator Martin Dilan. Both Ocasio Cortez and Salazar also pledged to refuse donations from the real estate industry, as did Cynthia Nixon in her gubernatorial challenge to Governor Cuomo. This pledge has moved so quickly from the fringe to the mainstream that just a few months later Senator Mike Gianaris, the second most powerful Democrat in the State Senate, one of its most prolific fundraisers, and a key player in the rent reforms, felt pressured to publicly renounce real estate money as well.
It was in this new context — a unified Democratic majority in which a few democratic socialists with outsized influence were directly challenging real estate money in politics — that the Upstate/Downstate Housing Alliance (a coalition of over seventy housing organizations and community groups, including three chapters of Democratic Socialist of America) was able to push through historic reforms.
And with the expansion of ETPA statewide, the coalition’s working-class organizations have the opportunity to open a powerful new front in the fight against the real estate industry. While the assertion of one real estate industry leader that “the democratic socialist wing of the Democratic Party is in full control of the state government” is not yet true, this victory does give us the playbook to effect a political revolution across the state.
The New Playbook
Local politics is usually parochial, and municipal governments often operate, with very little public scrutiny, as an arm of local developers and the business community. When conflict around housing or development does break out it’s frequently between reactionary NIMBYs and developer-backed YIMBYs, a toxic struggle in which poor tenants lose either way.
But with the expansion of the ETPA statewide, transforming that dynamic just requires a little working-class initiative. Municipal governments now have a powerful tool to protect tenants, and tenants have an incredible opportunity to focus their demands into a potent political force.
If the seventy-plus independent organizations in the Upstate/Downstate alliance, the growing democratic socialist movement in New York State, and allies in progressive unions and the Working Families Party turned their attention locally, they could run dozens or even hundreds of candidates on a platform that explicitly highlights the irreconcilable interests of tenants who are just trying to live in their homes and the landlords who are trying to squeeze every drop of profit from them. It has the potential to embolden a working-class movement and win substantial, sometimes life-changing gains for working people.
It is fair to wonder whether an underfunded coalition of tenants and socialists, almost entirely unstaffed, can really run and win dozens of political campaigns in communities across the state, all while facing the opposition of both the local political establishments and the bottomless pockets of the real estate industry. The short answer is yes, we can. The dirty secret of New York’s Democratic political establishment is that its shaky foundation is a combination of a disengaged electorate and plentiful real estate money.
When real estate money is weaponized as a wedge issue by working class candidates, and voters are motivated by a clear message around a winnable reform that can change their lives, the vulnerability of the political establishment is quickly laid bare — just as it was in the Richardson, Ocasio Cortez, and Salazar races.
For example, Rochester, NY is the third largest city in the state. Its roughly two hundred thousand residents are majority people of color and it has one of the highest rates of extreme poverty in the nation. According to the American Community Survey, nearly two-thirds of the households are renters. The city has also been declared the “hottest housing market” in the United States, and rents continue to climb. There is no doubt that a compelling working class message with a little bit of organization behind it would find a welcome reception in Rochester.
Meanwhile, the current Rochester mayor won her Democratic primary (the only competitive election) in 2013 with fewer than nine thousand votes, and in 2017, as an incumbent, with only twelve thousand. Mobilizing fifteen thousand working-class voters around rent control in a city with over 120,000 renters would be enough to completely transform local politics and potentially expand rent protections to tens of thousands of people.
Rochester’s tenant activists, united under the banner of the Rochester Housing Coalition (including the City-Wide Tenant Union of Rochester, the Rochester Homeless Union, and Citizen Action of New York) were able to move tenants to Albany week after week this year. They won an extraordinary victory in giving their city the power to initiate rent stabilization. Now they have an opportunity to unequivocally demand local action and build the base of working-class voters who can turn that demand into reality.
The Rochester mayor is one of the largest municipal offices in the state, but this fight can be taken to county legislatures and city councils. In many places, a few dozen volunteers moving a few hundred or thousand voters can unseat even a well-funded local elected official. To get started, we don’t need much more than a compelling candidate and a small group of people — be it a community organization, a DSA chapter, or a group of tenants who are fed up and ready to organize. Campaign finance reports provide an easy map to which elected officials developers and landlords view as crucial to their political power — our top targets.
Knitting local campaigns together in city after city and county after county can be the basis for organizing tens of thousands of upstate tenants into a powerful new political bloc, comparable to the millions of rent stabilized voters in New York City. Organized and united on a truly statewide basis, renters could be a force to be reckoned with, perhaps powerful enough to pass Senator Salazar’s good cause bill and finally guarantee rent protections for all.
Recent socialist and progressive electoral victories laid the groundwork for the significant reforms we won last week, and those reforms now give us an opportunity to go on the offensive against landlords throughout upstate New York. Every county legislator and city councilor should be prepared to answer a simple question from tenants — which side are you on?


The College of William & Mary will keep the cost of tuition flat next fall, acquiescing to a request made by Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
The college’s board voted in May to leave the cost of tuition the same but raise fees, upping the bill for an education by less than 1%. In-state undergraduates will pay roughly $24,000 annually for tuition and fees.
Three weeks ago, Youngkin asked the state’s colleges not to raise the cost of tuition. In a letter to college presidents, he said he wants to lower the cost of higher education.
William & Mary’s leadership has close ties to the administration. The head of the school’s board, John Littel, is the state’s secretary of Health and Human Resources.
“William & Mary is holding tuition flat again this year despite significant financial challenges and critical needs,” Littel said in a statement. “We understand the strain our students and their families are going through.”

Last year, William & Mary projected a 4.6% increase to its tuition. But an expected increase in state funding and ongoing financial challenges to students — such as increased inflation — led the board in a different direction.
Like every state school, William & Mary must boost the salary of its employees by roughly 5%. The university must pay the bulk of that cost — the state will pay the rest.
To balance the budget as required, the school said it will cut spending in other areas.
Need-based financial aid will continue to be a priority, the school said. In the past 10 years, it has raised the amount of undergraduate aid from $18 million to $46 million.
William & Mary charges more for tuition and fees than any other public college in Virginia. Its tuition is roughly $10,000 higher than the state average.
The school also will raise the cost of room and board 2.5%. Students who live on campus will pay $38,000 each year for tuition, fees and room and board before scholarships and grants.
This is the fifth year in a row the school has kept tuition flat, though it has raised fees during that time.

On Wednesday, President Obama initiated 23 executive actions designed to help combat gun violence. But as he himself acknowledged, there’s only so much he can do on his own. The “most important” changes, he said, need to go through Congress.
“To make a real and lasting difference, Congress too must act,” said the president. “And Congress must act soon.”
There are three main actions that the president wants Congress to take. The first is to mandate background checks for anyone who wants to buy a gun. (Right now, gun buyers who want to avoid background checks can, for instance, purchase a gun from a private seller at a gun show.) The second is to reinstate the ban on military-style assault weapons and limit ammunition magazines to 10 rounds. And the third is to confirm Todd Jones as director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Congress has not confirmed an ATF director in six years, and the president argued that doing so would improve the ability of that organization to help law enforcement in combating gun violence.
The president is also calling on Congress to ban armor-piercing bullets and pass new gun trafficking laws, pass his $4 billion plan that would provide funding for 15,000 police officers, and “end the freeze” on funding public health research on gun violence. FULL ARTICLE

CHICAGO: He did it. He finally admitted it. Lance Armstrong doped.
He was light on the details and didn’t name names. He mused that he might not have been caught if not for his comeback in 2009. And he was certain his “fate was sealed” when longtime friend, training partner and trusted lieutenant George Hincapie, who was along for the ride on all seven of Armstrong’s Tour de France wins from 1999-2005, was forced to give him up to anti-doping authorities.
But right from the start and more than two dozen times during the first of a two-part interview Thursday night with Oprah Winfrey on her OWN network, the disgraced former cycling champion acknowledged what he had lied about repeatedly for years, and what had been one of the worst-kept secrets for the better part of a week: He was the ringleader of an elaborate doping scheme on a U.S. Postal Service team that swept him to the top of the podium at the Tour de France time after time.

One of the few problems we had with the Astro A30 Headsets earlier this year in our review was the amount of wires required to run it in conjunction with its MixAmp. The MixAmp is the brains of the headset that give you the ability to balance game sound and voice volume as well as provide surround sound playback. Now Astro has alleviated part of the problem by creating a wireless version of the MixAmp called the MixAmp 5.8.
The MixAmp works with both the A30 and A40 headsets and is currently retailing for an introductory price of $99. It utilizes 5.8Ghz transmission so it doesn't interfere with other wireless signals.
Features of the ASTRO MixAmp™ 5.8 include:
- 7.1 channel Dolby® Surround Sound via Dolby® Pro Logic IIx decoding and Dolby® Headphone Surround Sound output
- 5.8GHz Wireless: this high-powered and secure connection operates on a spectrum relatively free from interference from other wireless devices
- Point-to-Multipoint Pairing (PtMP): pair up to 4 receivers (Rx) with 1 transmitter (Tx), providing support for up four simultaneous users with four independent voice streams on XBox 360 ™, and two independent voice streams on PlayStation® 3
- The 56374 DSP from Freescale™ allows full Dolby® Digital, Dolby Pro Logic
IIx and Dolby® Headphone processing on a single chip, offering one of the best
headphone audio experiences possible.
- Bass Expander Mode: injects a subwoofer effect into the soundstage.
- Tuned with ASTRO Audio™ technology to get the most out of games and other forms of media.
- Compatibility: plug in any headset to use the ASTRO MixAmp™ 5.8 with both PlayStation® 3 and XBox 360™ Consoles.
The really slick thing about this is the ability to pair up to four receivers with one transmitter. That mains plenty of couch co-op for mommy and daddy while baby sleeps!

Lumper potato returns to Marks and Spencer Ireland
The Irish Lumper Potato from Glens of Antrim Potatoes will be restocked on Marks & Spencer shelves from next week
22 November 2013
Glens of Antrim Potatoes and Marks & Spencer Ireland this week celebrated the arrival of a new batch of Irish Lumper potatoes to stores across Ireland. The arrival will meet demand from shoppers around the country for the potato which gained huge media attention when it was released in limited edition to Marks & Spencer stores earlier this year.
The 170 year old potato was reintroduced by Co. Antrim farmer, Michael McKillop, sparking global demand and stirring up world-wide debate about its history. With stores selling out in a matter of weeks, McKillop and his team have worked to harvest a new batch of the famous potato which will land in M&S stores next week in time for Christmas.
The Lumper potato, which gets its name from its knobbly appearance, had not been commercially cultivated since the potato famine in the 1840s when it was virtually wiped out. Glens of Antrim, a family run business operating for 41 years in the rural town of Cushendall in Co. Antrim, have set out about bring it back in to production.
Commenting on the potato Michael McKillop, Glens of Antrim said: "The Lumper was a thing of the mashed, roasted, and baked potato past until about five years ago when I got my hands on some heirloom seeds and cultivated them. I chose the strain because of its history and unusual look and feel."?
On supply Marks and Spencer Ireland with the popular potato he added: "We are thrilled to be able to supply M&S with a new batch of the potato and hope that customers who haven’t yet tasted a piece of history will give them a try and let us know what they think by posting comments on our Facebook page Facebook.com/GlensofAntrimPotatoes."?
Conrad Digan, head of selling and marketing Marks & Spencer Ireland, also commented saying: "When we first introduced the Irish Lumper potato to our M&S stores earlier this year, it proved a big hit with our customers. Due to popular demand, we are delighted to announce that it will be returning to our shelves later this month just in time for Christmas."?
