Social TV And Participatory Television in 2013
Will the TV business collapse in 2013? Has linear TV been forever disrupted by new developments in over the top content, connected TV and multiple device viewing behaviors? The answer is a resounding no, as linear Television is about to be lifted into even greater heights by the above new mediums, technologies, platforms and consumer behaviors.
Over the last year there has been a great debate in TV-land - Is linear TV dying? Is the TV business collapsing? To provide the very brief cliff notes: A slew of experts on both sides of the for/against spectrum have been chiming in their thoughts providing a wide assortment of rationale on both fronts. There have been data-points, info graphics, trend analyses, comparative reports and a whole lot of speculation about differing technological developments across the board.
I have personally been fortunate enough to be on the front lines of inspecting and working with a lot of these new technologies as they fascinate me with their potential. That said, it‘s also a pointless debate as some are forgetting the most important element. It’s not a matter of whether or not linear TV is dying. It’s a matter of whether linear TV has the potential to evolve. Linear TV cannot die if we can find new ways to extend and grow it’s appeal in the interactive world in which we find ourselves. In fact I think we may be entering a new golden age of linear television if we go about it’s development in the right manner. Linear TV can also be entirely complementary to other emerging TV developments without us having to lower our thinking to a black and white fashion.
Let’s use an analogy with something near and dear to my own heart. Food. Up until the 60’s when an individual wanted a meal, they had two options. Cook it, or go to a restaurant. Not bad options and they easily sufficed. Then the microwave was invented. It meant that hungry diners could prep and eat any type of meal on the fly. TV dinner? 2 mins. Prepared frozen burrito? Zap and done. On the plate and steaming in 4 minutes without having to go buy, and then prepare a complex range of ingredients. The microwave made food quick, easy, and on demand – whenever and whatever an eater wanted. From box to plate in minutes and it came with an assortment of food content that went hand in hand with its on-demand nature. But, this didn’t take away from restaurants. Or cooking. Restaurants didn’t die just because people could suddenly prepare new food choices with ease and lack of expense. It was just a different way to consume food with it’s own set of positives and negatives. Restaurants were still an experience, and in some ways, microwaves and novel food technology forced restaurants to become more diverse, and offer more interesting, elevated experiences.
While I digress, the analogy is weak (I‘m hungry and one track minded). The point is there. Non-linear watching technologies have some incredible benefits as they give the ability to watch what we want, when we want and on whatever device we want. An exceptional consumer benefit. A benefit however, that can cohabitate with the very differing potential of enhanced linear experiences. The fact of the matter, is that if we can elevate linear TV to be interactive and participative with novel social functionality and new forms of content that embrace these technologies, we create an exceptional experience. Linear Television can capture and captivate in entirely new ways that are far deeper than ever imagined. It need not be replaced, it need not die, it just needs to realize its own potential in order to be elevated and enhanced by technology. As an industry we must also realize, that there are ways to capitalize on the differences between experience types.
Given new technology platforms and products, watching an event live can call consumers to come, enjoy, socialize and interact with each other and with their programming in real time, both in the living room and across digital social circles. Non-linear doesn’t offer this type of experience. If we can conceptualize new ways to orchestrate TV events, we bring consumers into these experiences in new ways.
Watchers can and will adopt or adapt to new experiences that entertain them, intrigue them and captivate them. At the end of the day, it’s not about analyzing the trends in TV consumption and evaluating life or death of any TV model. It’s about creating new trends that allow TV to be something more than it’s ever been before.

Activist may be first to cast CE vote from jailTop News | Amy Nip 21 Mar 2017
The Occupy protester who was beaten by seven now-imprisoned police officers during the campaign in 2014 and was himself convicted of assault has decided to drop an appeal and go to jail.
Ken Tsang Kin-chiu, a social worker, will go through legal procedures at the High Court today and is then expected to be imprisoned immediately.
If that happens Tsang, an Election Committee member, may become the first to cast his vote for the chief executive election from prison on Sunday.
"For the convictions of assault and resisting arrest, I decided to give up the appeal after thinking it through," he wrote on his Facebook page. "I will 'pay my dues' immediately."
Tsang, then 40, was convicted last May of one count of assaulting a police officer and two counts of resisting arrest by a Kowloon City court for splashing liquid on police officers during the Occupy movement. He was granted bail for his appeal.
Now he is expected to stay behind bars for 31 days.
Tsang splashed liquid on 11 policemen from above the officers on Lung Wo Road in Admiralty. He was then carried to a dark corner of Tamar Park, where he was kicked and punched by the seven police officers.
The seven were convicted of assault and last month sent to prison for two years. That sparked controversy and a gathering of 38,000 police officers and families in support of the seven, who are appealing.
Tsang also wrote: "From the first day I joined social movements I was prepared to pay the price for resistance. I understand that what I did was not allowed by law, and I have to take responsibility for my action."
He said the liquid he splashed was water - not urine or acid - that was used to wash off pepper spray police used on protesters.
He also asked for "understanding and support" as he gave up the appeal "not because of cowardice or that I am giving up resistance. It has been a difficult ride over the past two years We already made our biggest effort and got the biggest result.
"I believe in resistance. Democracy and freedom are not granted by others but [are] to be secured by our own participation and resistance."
Barrister Albert Luk Wai-hung said Tsang must retract his appeal application. Correctional Services officers will then take him to Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre and from there he will be moved to a prison.

Government has targeted a record
$1 billion worth of foreign direct investments this year,
targeting inflows in mainly the power, telecommunications and
information technology sectors, the chairman of the government’s
investment arm said yesterday.
"We have raised minimum investment levels in order to attract
bigger investors and boost total investments," Lakshman Watawala
of the Board of Investment in Sri Lanka said at a news
Last year, the country attracted foreign investments worth
To help meet this year’s FDI target, the minimum investment
for any company has been hiked to $250,000 from $50,000,
effective immediately, Watawala said.
The single biggest investment slated for this year is a coal
power project worth $400 million-$450 million from National
Power Thermal Corp. of India, he said.
"We have identified a location in (eastern) Trincomalee for
this project. We expect details to be finalized by end-March,"
The government has also approved a proposal to develop hydro
power projects on a joint venture basis between the state and
the private sector.
In the telecommunications sector, Watawala said Telekom
Malaysia Bhd. (4863.KU) has pledged a $150 million investment
this year to upgrade infrastructure and fund a network expansion
in its mobile telephone subsidiary in Sri Lanka. Telekom
Malaysia owns 84% of Dialog Telekom (DIAL.SL), the largest
listed company on the Colombo bourse.
Sri Lankan internet services and software development company
Virtusa Ltd. will invest $20 million to build an IT campus to
develop and export software, said Watawala. The campus is
expected to offer employment to around 3,000 IT engineers. The
company, which is headquartered in the U.S., offers internet
services and solutions primarily for U.S. customers.

The Ontario New Democrats are mapping out the road to forming a minority government with the backing of the Liberals and Green Party in a strategy that’s less directed at winning a majority government than denying Doug Ford’s PCs a second term, party insiders say.
Sources within the Ontario NDP tell Global News the party is targeting at least 10 additional seats to put the New Democrats within striking distance of forming a minority government along with the Ontario Liberals after the June election.
“So the math for us is … we re-elect the 40 (incumbent candidates) and we have these 10 close seats where we were within five per cent of the Conservatives last time,” one NDP source said, speaking on background.
“So if we can convert those and take those from Mr. Ford, that brings us to 50.”
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath offered that same calculus on Monday after the leadership debate.
“We have 40 (incumbents) going in,” Horwath reminded reporters. “We’re only 10 seats, or as few as 10 seats away from defeating Doug Ford right now.”
“Voters who don’t want to see Doug Ford back in the premier’s chair…. That’s what I ask them to think about,” Horwath emphasized, in what could become the party’s main pitch to voters in the final weeks of the election campaign.
But the NDP’s precarious pathway to power relies on a number of factors that are outside Horwath and the party’s control – the most significant being Steven Del Duca’s Liberals having a mild resurgence after 2018’s electoral drubbing, which saw the party reduced from majority government to just seven seats.
It also relies on the Liberal recovery taking more seats from Ford’s PCs than the NDP.
Del Duca didn’t repeat the NDP’s seat calculation, but he didn’t reject the notion presented by Horwath either.
“If you’re a progressive voter in this province, you want to see the outcomes. You’re not so focused on necessarily who gets to deliver the outcomes, you just want to know that good things are going to happen to you and your family,” Del Duca said Monday.
“When you look at my plan and you look at Andrea Horwath’s plan I think there are some things that we have in common, for example, the repeal of Bill 124, the cancellation of Highway 413.”
All three opposition parties have declared their unwillingness to prop up a minority Ford government, but have left the door open to a potential coalition government.
The NDP math, however, only adds up to a majority if they factor in an additional 13 seats from the Ontario Liberals and Green Party combined to get the parties to the magic number of 63 — a majority of the 124 seats up for grabs in the Ontario legislature.
NDP insiders offered up a list of ridings where the party ranked a close second to the Progressive Conservatives during the 2018 election, suggesting the party would target those seats with additional funds and volunteers to ensure they get their voters to polling stations on election day.
|Ottawa West—Nepean||Jeremy Roberts (PC)||175||0.3%|
|Brantford—Brant||Will Bouma (PC)||635||1.1%|
|Brampton West||Amarjot Sandhu (PC)||490||1.3%|
|Sault Ste. Marie||Ross Romano (PC)||414||1.3%|
|Kitchener—Conestoga||Mike Harris Jr. (PC)||686||1.6%|
|Kitchener South—Hespeler||Amy Fee (PC)||770||1.8%|
|Scarborough—Rouge Park||Vijay Thanigasalam (PC)||963||2.3%|
|Peterborough—Kawartha||Dave Smith (PC)||2,386||3.9%|
|Cambridge||Belinda Karahalios (New Blue)||2,154||4.5%|
|Scarborough Centre||Christina Mitas (PC)||2,019||5.1%|
While the parties share a similar vision of unseating an incumbent premier, questions about a joint effort to campaign against Ford were met with a lukewarm response from both Horwath and Del Duca.
Horwath dismissed her progressive rival as “just not ready to form a government” – an attack levelled against Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau in the 2015 federal election – while Del Duca cautioned the NDP about its campaign tactics.
“Ms. Horwath has spent a lot of time attacking Ontario Liberals rather than taking the fight to where it belongs, and that is with the Ford Conservatives,” Del Duca said on Monday.
The NDP’s math also banks on the party’s ability to retain all 40 seats won during the last election, despite an aggressive push from the Progressive Conservatives to flip New Democrat ridings into the PC column.
Ford has made a major play for Brampton and Windsor, two traditional NDP strongholds, with massive planned spending announcements, including building new electric vehicle manufacturing plants, hospitals and Highway 413 — which Ford has attempted to turn into a campaign wedge issue.
In the debate Tuesday night, Ford also trumpeted endorsements from multiple labour groups – including LiUNA – which might traditionally be more inclined to the New Democrats.
Meanwhile, some Toronto-area ridings, ripped away from the Liberals during the last election, are also at risk of reverting back to the Grits if the party regains its footing under Del Duca.
Still, Horwath is banking on a convergence of the progressive vote behind the NDP during the remainder of the election campaign — making a direct appeal to the roughly 60 per cent of voters who don’t plan for the Progressive Conservatives on June 2.
“We’re your best shot at getting rid of Doug Ford,” Horwath declared.
According to an Abacus Data poll released Monday, Ford’s PCs have maintained their lead over the Ontario Liberals, with the NDP trailing in third place. Abacus’s numbers, pulled from a survey of 1,000 Ontario voters between May 12 and 15, put the PCs with 35 per cent support among committed eligible voters, with the Liberals at 28 per cent and the NDP at 24 per cent.
But the Abacus poll – which is considered accurate within 3.1 percentage points 19 times out of 20 – suggested the NDP would be hard-pressed to retain its urban Toronto gains made in the 2018 election.
Abacus put Liberal support at 41 per cent in the city, followed by 32 per cent for the Tories and 21 per cent for the Horwath’s New Democrats.
Those numbers were drawn before Monday evening’s debate, and it’s not yet known if Horwath, Del Duca or Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner’s performances will materially move the needle.


Last week, I had the opportunity to attend Polestar Day, an incredible event hosted by the Geely-owned Swedish brand in a hangar at the Santa Monica airport. The event was attended by hundreds of media, investors, and owners who were eager to experience the latest products, upcoming models, and to learn about innovative technology and partnerships being announced by Polestar.
The highlight of the event was the unveiling of the Polestar 3, a powerful and luxurious SUV that is set to compete with the likes of the Porsche Cayenne. This impressive vehicle is scheduled to go on sale in the US in the second quarter of 2024. During the event, I had the chance to ride in a fully loaded Polestar 3 equipped with the optional Performance package. This package enhances the SUV’s performance, with an output of 517 horsepower, torque vectoring, all-wheel drive software, unique chassis tuning, and 22-inch wheels with performance tires.
During the 15-minute ride around Santa Monica, I was struck by the comfort of the ride provided by the standard four-corner air suspension. The interior of the vehicle was both spacious and serene, reflecting the vehicle’s luxury status. In addition, the Polestar 3 will be the first vehicle to feature bidirectional charging capabilities, allowing it to connect to a virtual power plant (VPP) that efficiently manages energy usage and grid demand.
Another highlight of Polestar Day was the introduction of the Polestar 4, a crossover coupe that is expected to bridge the gap between the compact and midsize segments. With a starting price of around $60,000 and production set to begin in China at the end of this year, the Polestar 4 will also be produced in South Korea through a partnership with Renault Korea Motors, allowing it to bypass import tariffs.
The Polestar 5, which was first revealed as the Precept concept in 2020, was shown without any camouflage at the event. This fastback sedan rivals the Porsche Panamera and offers an impressive 884hp and 664 pound-feet in top dual-motor spec. The vehicle will be built on a bespoke supercar-like bonded aluminum platform, and it will feature StoreDot’s XFC pouch cell charging tech, allowing it to gain 100 miles of range in just five minutes of charging.
The Polestar 6, a flagship model taking the form of a two-door sports car with a convertible roof, was also showcased at the event. Set to go on sale in 2026, the Polestar 6 will use the same architecture and powertrains as the Polestar 5, and it will aim for a 155mph top speed and a 3.1-second zero to 60mph time. The initial run of 500 cars will be the LA Concept Edition with a starting price of $200,000.
Polestar has already achieved a major milestone with the delivery of over 150,000 units of the Polestar 2, and the introduction of these new models and technologies will further solidify the brand’s position as an exciting and forward-thinking automaker to watch in the rapidly growing EV market. Overall, Polestar Day was an exceptional event that showcased the brand’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and luxurious performance.

- Preliminary activity observed in patients with recurrent/metastatic microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer (MSS-CRC), a population historically unresponsive to PD-1/L1 blockade
- 3 partial responses (PR) and 11 stable disease (SD) response among 37 patients evaluable for efficacy – disease control rate (DCR) at 16 weeks was 24%
- Manageable toxicity profile demonstrated
- Updated clinical data will be presented at ASCO
Innate Pharma SA (the “Company” - Euronext Paris: FR0010331421 – IPH) last night announced preliminary data from an ongoing Phase I dose escalation and expansion study evaluating the safety and efficacy of the combination of monalizumab, a first-in-class monoclonal antibody targeting NK- and T cell checkpoint receptor NKG2A, with durvalumab.
Data show preliminary anti-tumor activity in patients with recurrent, metastatic colorectal cancer, with 3 partial responses and 11 stable disease responses among 37 patients evaluable for efficacy, with a disease control rate of 24% at 16 weeks (data cut as of February 8, 2018). The data also showed a manageable toxicity profile.
The Phase I dose escalation and expansion study enrolled a total of 55 patients. In the dose-escalation part, 15 patients with selected solid tumors received durvalumab 1500 mg every 4 weeks in combination with monalizumab at increasing doses. In the expansion phase, 40 patients with microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer (MSS-CRC) were enrolled. 58% of patients in expansion had 3+ lines of prior therapy.
These data were highlighted in an abstract (#3540) published online on May 16 by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in advance of its annual meeting in Chicago, Illinois, June 1-5, 2018. The abstract is available on the ASCO website. A poster (#33) with updated clinical data will be presented at ASCO in the Gastrointestinal (Colorectal) Cancer session in Hall A on Sunday, June 3 between 8:00am and 11:30am.
Based on these preliminary results, Innate’s partner AstraZeneca/MedImmune progressed the combination with standard of care therapies.

With so much attention paid to starters Larry Fitzgerald and Hines Ward, No. 3 receivers Nate Washington and Steve Breaston will have the opportunity to make significant plays in Super Bowl XLIII, writes Len Pasquareli.
Wide receiver Hines Ward, who has missed only three games during his NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, will be sidelined for Sunday's contest against the Arizona Cardinals with a sprained right knee.
Cleveland Browns cornerback Daven Holly took offense to the late hit laid on him by Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward in last week's season opener. The league agreed, and took $5,000 out of Ward's paycheck.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward, who underwent an emergency appendectomy less than two weeks ago, has been cleared to practice and expects to start in the regular-season opener at New England next Monday night.

The Huawei Petal Travel app is now getting a new update that adds support for more destinations. Until now, the app was only accessible in a few cities in China. But now it has extended its terms to other parts of the country.
According to reports, a new Chinese city named Hangzhou has taken its place in the list of cities supported by the app. Therefore, users will find a total of four areas in the app, including Beijing, Shenzhen, Nanjing, and Hangzhou. Alternatively, this list of regions will receive new additions in the coming times.
The new corresponding application update is coming with the version 184.108.40.206 and carries a small package of 71 KB. However, before upgrading the app to the latest version, users need to delete the cache data of the old version.
To do this, you can visit the Settings menu. Then scroll down and select Application Management. Click on the Quick Application Centerand select the Storage option. Press on Delete data and give a few moments to let the app delete all the details.
For your information, this deletion will not eliminate any of your historical searches. Things will stay pretty much the same and kept on the app. Still, usage records and other irregular stuff from other quick apps will be omitted.
Petal Travel needs your permission!
At the beginning of July, Huawei launched a new taxi service for its consumers, called the Petal Travel app. As the name suggests, the app helps users quickly get a taxi in the country.
Although this app requires users permission to work effectively. Since it is a taxi service, he prefers Petal Maps for travel advice. At the same time, it works on an internet connection and needs information about the device, network, application operation, location, and account information in order to provide a favorable user experience.

In search of a reliable bamboo feedstock supply chain for the fiber extraction processes of Bambooder, our attention was drawn to African bamboo. In the tropical regions of Africa, bamboo is readily available in large quantities. Countries such as Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, and Uganda have implemented policies wherein bamboo plays a critical role in reforestation, creation of a green and socially responsible economy, and creation of new value chains1. This has led to increased availability of bamboo and professionalization of the local supply chain. Traditionally, bamboo was used as a construction material in these countries, but nowadays they are expanding their product range, now including feedstock for bamboo fiber extraction.
One example of a company that has established a reliable supply chain of bamboo in Africa is Bamboo Uganda. As the name reflects, the company is located in Uganda. Their focus is on realizing a sustainable green bamboo economy in Uganda and researching the development of a bamboo value chain with a maximum economic, social, and environmental impact. Bamboo Uganda's vision is to rethink, promote, and redesign an available but underappreciated resource, with the aim to transform agriculture, develop ecological construction alternatives, generate renewable energy solutions, fight deforestation, and fuel a green economy, thus boosting the local private sector and the national economy at large.
The vision of Bamboo Uganda, as described above, is perfectly in line with our own mission and vision of being the frontrunner in the 100% fossil-free and renewable composite industry and enabling improved sustainability of daily life through biobased composite materials. It is therefore that we have joined forces with Bamboo Uganda to realize a reliable source of sustainable and socially responsible bamboo as feedstock for our fiber extraction processes. With this collaboration, we not only ensure a guaranteed supply chain of high-quality feedstock for our process, but we also help to develop the Ugandan economy and provide fair wages and fair working conditions to the local community. This allows us to contribute to a total of 10 UN Sustainable Development Goals and deliver our share to the Joint African Union and European Union Innovation Agenda.

Lorenzo de’Medici, the great Florentine patron of the arts was very proud of the spectacles he staged for the citizenry. Among his many productions were several amazingly realistic religious pageants performed in church. But one Pentecost, Lorenzo went a little bit too far: he used actual fire to depict the descent of the tongues of flames on the apostles. The fragile stage set caught fire and, before horrified onlookers, the entire church burned to the ground

Is your heart burning within you? Is it a heartburn or a passionate heart on fire?
Pray for the gifts of fire, zeal and passion. Pray for the gift of pentecostal fire but never ever try to manufacture it. The fire of pentecost is a gift to be received. The other kind of fire is a false fire and may spell disaster.
Once upon a time there was a fire in a small town. The fire brigade rushed to the scene, but the fireman were unable to get through to the burning building. The problem was the crowd of people who had gathered not to watch but to help put out the fire. They all knew the fire chief well – their children had climbed over his fire engines during excursions to the fire station, and the friendliness of the fire chief was legendary. So when a fire broke out the people rushed out to help their beloved fire chief.
Unfortunately the townsfolk were seeking to extinguish this raging inferno with water pistols! They’d all stand there, from time to time squirting their pistol into the fire while making casual conversation.
The fire chief couldn’t contain himself. He started screaming at the townsfolk. “What do you think you’re doing? What on earth do you think you’re going to achieve with those waterpistols?!”
The people realised the urgency of the situation. How they wanted to help the fire chief. So they started squirting more. “Come on” they encouraged each other, “We can all do better, can’t we?” Squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt.
Exasperated the fire chief yells again. “Get out of here. Your achieving nothing except hindering us from doing what needs to be done. We need fireman who are ready to give everything they’ve got to put out this fire, people willing even to lay their lives on the line. This is not the place for token contributions”

Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard is urging us to realise that radical discipleship to Christ means much more than mere involvement or token contributions to the mission of the church in the world. Radical and authentic discipleship calls for wholehearted and total life commitment.
There was a shipwreck and only one man survived, cast ashore on a tiny island with nothing but the clothes on his back. For a while he hoped for rescue. But in time he knew he had to make a life there on the island. And that is what he did. He taught himself to fish and hunt, to garden and cook, and he built himself a charming little cottage overlooking the bay. He even carved a tiny flute which he played every night after supper.
One day he hiked to the top of the mountain at the center of the island to see what he could see. As he reached the top, what he saw was a tower of smoke and his little cottage going up in flames.
He ran down the mountain as fast as he could. But it was too late. The cottage was in ashes – and his flute, his garden, his tools, his bow and arrows – everything he’d made with his own hands was gone, all gone!
He wept. He raged. He cursed God. He despaired. And finally, as night came, he collapsed on the sand and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning he was awakened by sailors who had rowed ashore from a great ship to rescue him. “But,” he exclaimed, “how after all this time did you know I was here?”
“Ah,” said the captain, “we saw the smoke from your signal fire.”

PONDER AND CONSIDER
- When you have reached the end of your rope, as the saying goes, tie a knot and hold on. Perhaps this is what hope is about: Hold On, Praying Expectantly.
- When all seems lost and we can feel our emptiness and feel our aloneness, Life has a way of surprising us blessing us and filling us in a way we’d least expect.
There’s this guy who invented fire. He takes the tools for making fire and goes up to the north, where there are some tribes shivering in the cold. He teaches them the art and the advantages of making fire. And the people become interested. they learn. And what do they know? Pretty soon they’re cooking, they’re using the fire for building. And before they had time to say thanks to the inventor, he had disappeared. He didn’t want any thanks; he just wanted people to benefit from his invention.
He goes to another tribe, and he attempts to interest them also in his new invention. But he ran into a snag there, see? The priests began to realize how popular the guy was becoming and how their own influence on the people was diminishing. So they decided to poison him. A suspicion arose among the people that it was the priests who had done it, so you know what the priests did?
They had a huge portrait made of the man. They put it on the main altar in the temple. They devised a liturgy by which the man would be honoured, a ritual; and year after year, people came to pay homage to the great inventor and to the instruments for making fire. And the ritual was faithfully observed. But there was no fire. No fire. Ritual. Remembrance. Gratitude. Veneration. Yes. But no fire.

“Why do you call me Lord Lord and fail to do what I tell you?” [Luke 6:46]
And what is it we’re told to do? Love. Be kind. Be compassionate. Be merciful. Forgive.

Saint Teresa of Avila, the 16th century Spanish mystic, saw an angel rushing towards her, carrying a torch and a bucket of water. “Where are you going with that torch and bucket,” she asked; “what will you do with them?”
“With the water,” the angel answered, “I will put out the fires of hell, and with the fire I will burn down the mansions of heaven; then we will see who really loves God.”

- I wonder if we could live our lives without the threat of punishment or the promise of reward. Could we just do the right thing because it is the right thing?
A man was standing in the middle of the town square. While lighting his pipe, he accidentally started his beard on fire. To the townspeople witnessing this event, he seemed to just stand there, doing absolutely nothing about it! Thinking that he somehow was unaware of the growing blaze, they ran up to him and shouted, “Your beard is on fire! Your beard is on fire!” and the man replied, “Yes, yes, I know – can’t you see that I’m praying for rain?”

Indeed, when it does rain, the rain is available! But in the meantime you better watch what you’re doing! And if your beard does catch fire don’t wait for the rain. Do something. Praying for rain does not help.
A couple were going on vacation but his wife was on a business trip.
The husband went ahead to the destination first and his wife would meet him the next day.
When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email.
Unfortunately, when typing her address, he mistyped a letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher’s wife whose husband had passed away only the day before.
When the grieving widow checked her email, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint.
At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:
Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
P.S. Sure is hot down here!

Miscommunication, conscious or unconscious, intended or unintended, can in fact shift the whole tenor of a conversation and deform what could have been a vacation with a taste of paradise into a dreaded visit that tastes and feels like hell!

Salem ratepayers are being requested to pay extra for rubbish providers beneath proposed fee will increase coming earlier than the town council.
Residents can weigh in Monday night throughout a public listening to at Salem Metropolis Corridor. New charges, if accredited, go into impact Jan. 1, 2018.
With franchised rubbish haulers dealing with rising prices, enterprise and metropolis officers want to ratepayers to assist them keep within the black.
“The price of doing enterprise is growing,” stated Ryan Zink, the town’s franchise administrator.
Underneath Salem’s proposal, Marion County residents utilizing 35-gallon cans would pay eighty cents a month extra in 2018, whereas Polk County residents would see solely a 25-cent per thirty days improve beneath the proposal.
In 2019, charges would rise by 60 cents for Marion County ratepayers and 25 cents for these in Polk County.
The disparity between Marion County ratepayers and their West Salem neighbors in Polk County stems partially from the truth that Marion County rubbish is hauled to an incinerator north of Salem, which has larger working prices.
Whereas the town of Salem units charges for rubbish haulers, Marion County commissioners voted final yr to boost charges for haulers who use the incinerator, which turns trash into power.
The town of Salem units charges with the objective of offering rubbish haulers with a ten % pre-tax revenue margin, with variations from eight to 12 % attainable.
Haulers’ internet revenue is already near falling under eight %. With out price will increase, revenues are anticipated to fall under the goal in 2019.
Maintaining them in that candy spot turns into harder as enterprise prices rise. Prices embrace wages will increase, common inflation, will increase in medical insurance coverage for staff and a minor uptick in gasoline prices, Zink stated.
David Lear, basic supervisor of the Mid-Valley Rubbish & Recycling Affiliation, stated the proposed will increase would permit haulers to proceed to spend money on staff, low-polluting automobiles and the group.

Police operatives have arrested a man for defiling a neighbour’s 13-yeah-old daughter in Lagos.
EKOHOTBLOG reports that the Lagos State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of a 32-year-old man for allegedly defiling his neighbour’s 13-year-old daughter in the state.
The arrest was made known via a statement by the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, on Sunday.
Ajisebutu disclosed that the suspect was arrested after allegedly committing the offence on September 20, 2021.
The police spokesperson further stated that the incident occurred after the suspect’s wife went to a vigil in one of the churches in the neighborhood.
He said, “The victim’s mother had kept her in the custody of the suspect’s wife when she travelled out of town for three weeks.
“According to the victim’s mother when she returned from the journey, the victim reported to her that she was defiled by the suspect.
“However, during interrogation, the suspect confessed to the crime while pleading for mercy,” Ajisebutu disclosed.
The police spokesperson said the victim had since been taken to the hospital for medical care, adding that the case has also been transferred to the Gender Unit of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, for investigation and prosecution on the directive of the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu.

South Asian people are more likely than other population groups to develop certain health problems, including type 2 diabetes and heart disease. However, they are seldom represented in clinical research studies. Genes & Health aims to redress this balance. Having recruited more than 55,000 South Asian research volunteers, their ground-breaking health programmes are changing lives.
Genes & Health, a project launched by Queen Mary has recruited British Bangladeshi and Pakistani people from East London, Bradford and Manchester. This large, long-term study has analysed the DNA (genomes) of volunteers and built a world-class resource for approved health researchers and scientists to better understand health and disease. This is important because British South Asian people are disproportionately affected by some diseases. For example, they have the highest rates of heart disease in the UK and are six times more likely to have Type 2 diabetes than the rest of the UK population.
Genes & Health was initially funded by the Wellcome Trust and has also received generous support from the Medical Research Council, Barts Charity, HEFCE, and the NHS National Institute for Health Research, and a consortium of life sciences industry partners.
British Pakistani and British Bangladeshi volunteers donate a saliva sample and share their GP and hospital NHS medical records anonymously and securely with the study team at Genes & Health. Volunteers can meet the team in GP surgeries, visit a study centre in East London, Bradford or Manchester, or ask for a test kit to be sent to them by post.
Everybody’s genes (DNA) are different, but understanding these differences can unlock important understanding of how our bodies work. The Genes & Health team study are experts in studying these gene changes and are discovering unique changes only present in British Bangladeshis and Pakistanis. By linking this with information in medical records, they can make important discoveries to understand why people have a higher or lower chance of getting a particular disease, or how new drug treatments might be developed to improve health in the future.
Genes & Health are working across many areas of health and disease. One example is their work in type 2 diabetes where studying gene changes can help understand which young people are more or less at risk of getting the condition. Previously, most research into type 2 diabetes (T2D) has focused on white European volunteers, but a Genes & Health study led by Dr Sarah Finer was able to examine the genetic changes associated with type 2 diabetes in 22,490 British Bangladeshi and Pakistani volunteers. Their discovery will not only help them to identify patients at risk of developing diabetes much earlier, but will also help them to understand how to better treat the condition to prevent diabetes complications such as eye and kidney disease from developing.
Our new scientific data and more volunteers will enable us to do even more to improve health in British Pakistani and British Bangladeshi communities as well as the wider UK population.— Dr Sarah Finer
More than a thousand of their volunteers have been invited to specialist clinics at Genes & Health when their genetic results showed they could be at heightened risk of developing certain conditions. Among other conditions, the team has studied familial hypercholesterolemia. Men with a gene linked to this condition have a 50 per cent chance of having a heart attack before the age of 50.
The researchers recalled 50 patients they identified who carried the gene. They were given the diagnosis and started specialist treatment. They were encouraged to stop smoking and had their high cholesterol managed. They were also able to inform and check out family members who could also be at risk of hypercholesterolemia. Through this programme, Genes & Health predict that they have prevented 50 heart attacks.
Other investigations offered at the recall clinics include a standard blood sample, liver scan, bone scan and many other tests, helping to research a wide range of health conditions.
Genes & Health is well on track to meeting their goal of recruiting 100,000 volunteers. The work on studying heart disease and diabetes continues along with many other projects. Future studies will focus on other major health priorities for British Bangladeshi and Pakistani people, including mental health, dementia and pregnancy health.
Local community members who have not previously had an opportunity to get involved in research are now gaining the benefits of this world class programme. Thanks to the huge contribution of Genes & Health volunteers, the research team looks forward to making improvements in health and reducing inequalities.
This remarkable project sequences 100,000 genomes from circa 85,000 patients affected by rare disorders and cancers – making the UK a world leader in genomic medicine.

If you can't get enough French food, don't pass up an opportunity to spoil yourself. Though not incredibly abundant, you can still find a few restaurants in Barbados where you can sample some.
Take time to pursue the small collection of French restaurants that you'll have the chance to visit during your getaway. For each restaurant, you can click its name to read the full article about its specialties, style, and what you can do nearby.
Located toward the southern outskirts of Speightstown, Camelot is located at Cobblers Cove Hotel. This local establishment isn't merely French delights and particularly barbecue, but here they're also fawned-over for another favorite, seafood. Serving every meal of the day, your taste buds will be tantalized whether you want scrambled eggs or ahi tuna. Head Chef Michael aims to use local ingredients to make every dish, and freshness is important. Fish is brought in from a local fisherman and nearby farms provide the produce. An example of what you'll find on the ever-changing menu is as follows. To start, you might find goat cheese on cinnamon toast brioche or a lobster and melon tasting; and the main entrees might be something like olive crusted mahi-mahi or herb marinated lamb rack. In August of 2014, the Chef's Choice menu included roast root vegetable soup, pan-fried foie gras with vanilla apples, pan-fried duck breast, crab, chive, and green pea risotto, and orange cheesecake.
L'Acajou is located at Sandy Lane Hotel, and is a good choice for people exploring this part of Barbados. It's 0.8 miles south of Holetown. Seafood (of course) and French cuisine are a great pair at this much-loved fine foods restaurant. Indulge yourself at L'Acajou with fine French and International cuisine featuring fresh seafood and exotic local ingredients. Offering 3 course meals featuring daily specialties, L'Acajou takes care in selecting a perfect compliment from their extensive wine collection.
Juma's Restaurant is located in the heart of Speightstown. Seafood and French fare come together for some great dishes at this chilled-out favorite. Some of the best selling items on their menu are the Flying Fish Pate, Crabcakes, Spare Ribs, Lobster Tails, Fresh Fish, Banana Four Ways, and White Chocolate Creme Brulee.
Set near the center of downtown Bridgetown, Cork & Bottle Bistro is at 10 Pelican Village. Though they're broadly known for food with French flair, this possible dining pick eagerly offers their hamburgers and sandwiches. Although there are burgers and sandwiches on the menu, the main focal point of the menu here is the wine. There are over 40,000 bottles in the cellar, including mature vintages like Domaine Chevalier and Chateaux Talbot.

A St. Leonard woman has been charged with child abuse after Maryland State Police investigated a domestic incident which resulted in a 6-month-old child being flown to a Washington, D.C., hospital Wednesday.
According to a press release from the MSP Prince Frederick barrack, at about 10:43 p.m. Feb. 26, police responded to a 911 call at a location in St. Leonard. When troopers arrived, they learned a 6-month-old child and a 2-year-old girl had allegedly been injured by their mother, who, police said, was intoxicated. Police said the children were injured as a result of a dispute with the children’s father. During the incident, the mother allegedly attempted to pull the children away from the father, in the process causing injuries to the children. Another child, 3 years old, also was involved in the argument, but was not hurt.
Police called emergency medical services to the scene, and the infant, due to its injuries, was taken to Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., by MSP Trooper 2 helicopter for treatment. The 2-year-old girl reportedly had noticeable injuries, and she and the 3-year-old were taken to Calvert Memorial Hospital for treatment and evaluation. The children were later released to other family members under the direction of Calvert County Child Protective Services.
During the investigation, police said the mother was transported to MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital after she made several suicidal statements. She was held there for psychiatric evaluation.
The Maryland State Police Criminal Enforcement Division, Central South Region, investigators were then contacted and responded to assume the investigation, according to the press release. With assistance from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Crime Lab, a search and seizure warrant was executed on the St. Leonard residence.
The mother was released from MedStar and was charged with second-degree child abuse, two counts of second-degree assault and two counts of child endangerment while under the influence of alcohol. She was jailed at the Calvert County Detention Center pending a hearing with the district court commissioner.

After exploring Ainee’s replica of the Sagrada Familia in Second Life, I have a slight feeling that when I eventually see the original place in RL I *might* be a bit disappointed: in SL I do not have the endure the constant excessive traffic noise, the building activities, building cranes blocking the view, and the inaccessibility of many of the locations, as I can travel freely around the spires in the balloon provided by Ainee. How amazing this Second Life can be…
Ainee laughs in agreement, and recalls how when she visited this cathedral, a winding trail of tourists wandered through the construction site. She stepped back suddenly to admire the vaulting, and a workman’s helmet fell 300 metres from the spire, smashing onto the exact spot where she had just been standing (fortunately, the workman was not inside it)! She declares that she must have been pushed by an Angel.
“As I was working in SL on the cathedral,” explains Ainee, “for three months I dreamed of it every night. As the drawings and plans were destroyed in the Spanish Civil war, it is very hard to discover what Gaudi’s intentions for the unfinished sections were. One useful drawing was found in his pocket after he was killed by a tram. But in my dreams, Gaudi seemed to show me what his vision of the completed structure would be: I finished one section as I thought he would have done it. To my astonishment, a few days later a new tourist photo of that section, completed that week, appeared on the web – and it was exactly as I had designed it! I felt I was communing with Gaudi’s spirit. Gaudi would have loved the medium of SL, and have spent his time torturing prims and twisting toruses… I especially enjoyed recreating in prims the new sculpture which has recently been added to the porticos, simple and graceful after Gaudi’s sketchy outlines. My favourite section? It must be the Tortoise which supports the door pillar in the Annunciation façade.”
Ainee acknowledges her sources: “Without Ariel Erlanger’s wonderful sculpted vaulting, and the very adaptable ‘Vengeance’ megaprims, this design would have been impossible, so I am a convert to the wonders of the megaprim in SL. The vast fountains by Klyks Klees were just as Gaudi had intended, but I bet there is not enough water in a Barcelona summer to power them in Real Life!”
Ainee adds that she is indebted to her Patron Mintz Tomorrow for his support and encouragement: “He is my dream client: he said I could use 3000 prims and the spire tips had to reach the clouds: other than that, he left me alone to work on the Cathedral! After almost two years of specialising in low-prim Architecture and Antique furnishings, this was a fabulously indulgent treat to make! I shall sadly have to demolish the Cathedral on my island soon, to make room for my next project, but Mintz has vowed to preserve his copy as an SL Masterpiece!”

The Chocolate Ghost
Ainee is gifted writer in Real Life and writes as 'Julia Hawkes-Moore'; her novel 'Dancing in Circles' (Honno) can be ordered from Amazon. Her story ‘The Chocolate Ghost’ has been published (and translated into Czech) in several RL books and anthologies.
At the time of writing ‘The Chocolate Ghost’ has been transcripted into a SL THiNC Press book. The book can be read (yes, even a complementary copy can be taken if you wish) in the real Chocolate Ghost shop created in Second Life (Hermetic Palaces/21/215/25)
The Second Life Chocolate Ghost shop ….The chocolate girls decided that they should buy a shop. They had very little money, so they had to hunt around the market town of Saffron Walden for a long time before they found somewhere cheap and pretty enough to suit their purpose. In a narrow cobbled street just off the market square they found a tall, narrow house squeezed in between two strict Georgian red-brick ones. It was all tottery with carved oak beams, and glittering diamondy window-panes….
Inside the Second Life Chocolate Ghost shop ….the mysteries of jujubes, lozenges, liquorice laces and aniseed balls were there to be explored. Tigernuts, Spanish tobacco, bulls' eyes and sherbet suckers were bought by the pound, whilst jamboree bags and all their hidden surprises proved so popular….

Sharing the risks we face in paying for our health care works powerfully. It comes down to “your money or your life,” so we pay. The question is whom does it work for?
We’re paying almost twice per person as in other industrialized countries, with poorer outcomes. We’re wasting $765 billion a year on health care — more than we spend on defense. Sharing the risk in paying for our health care is working, but it’s working for the medical industrial complex, not for all of us.
Sharing risks, in order to insure, works for all when it is inclusive: covering the younger and older, richer and poorer, healthier and sicker. By painfully breaking the process of insuring into separate, for-profit groups, we establish the fundamentally perverse incentives we are living with in health care in the U.S.
Insurance companies compete to be best at collecting premiums and avoiding paying for health care — return on investment to shareholders is their primary responsibility. They have become huge, bureaucratic armies to enforce covering the younger/healthier/richer(and not minorities). Higher deductibles, narrower networks, claims denials, and policy intricacies are the successful strategies they enforce.
The successful aspects of the ACA and even the addition of a public option have not and will not dent these fundamentally perverse incentives and consequences of the excluding structures that we use to pay for our health care.
These are the interests that profit from the waste. These collude with the interests of those the status quo serves, along with our too-human fear of change.
We all need health care. Sharing the risks involved in paying for this care works when done inclusively. We are suffering doing it exclusively. Amendment 69, ColoradoCare is diagnosis and cure. Vote yes.

You think they would want to allow more foreign journalists that would vote for "foreign" movies with "foreign" filmmakers they never heard of and therefore make their time of year less glamorous...?

School Library Journal - 11/01/1997 K-Gr 3--In a lengthy note, Zelinsky explains his research into the pre-Grimm Brothers' origins of Rapunzel in French and Italian tales, but his retelling does not vary significantly from other picture-book renditions. However, his version does not sidestep the love between the maiden in the tower and the prince, as some retellers have done. The lovers hold a ceremony of marriage between themselves, and it is Rapunzel's signs of pregnancy that bring about her banishment from the tower and her prince's downfall. What sets this Rapunzel apart from the others is the magnificence of the Renaissance setting. Readers will linger over the opulence and rich details of furnishings and fabrics, and admire the decorative patterns and architectural details of the tower and the rooms. Echoes of high Renaissance art can be seen in the costumes, the buildings, and the landscapes. In their postures and gestures, the richly dressed characters might have stepped out of the paintings of Botticelli and Mantegna and Verrocchio and Raphael. But in Zelinsky's scenes there are no angels, no holy figures, no miracles--only magic. The impossibly high, almost pencil-thin tower looms above the trees. Rapunzel's hair, cascading some 50 feet to the ground, would daunt the sturdiest climbers unless they were a sorceress or a young man in love. Each scene, from the delightful Italianate farm pictured on the endpapers to the last happy scene where the prince and his bride pose with their cherub-like twins, is painted, writes Zelinsky, as a humble attempt to spur an interest in the magnificent art from which I have drawn. A stunning effort.--Shirley Wilton, Ocean County College, Toms River, NJ - Copyright 1997 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
Booklist - 11/15/1997 *Starred Review* for reading aloud. After his wildly exuberant illustrations for Anne Isaacs' tall tale Swamp Angel (1994), Zelinsky turns to the formal beauty of Italian Renaissance art as the setting for his glowingly illustrated version of an age-old story. And, like Donna Jo Napoli's YA novel Zel (1996), this story is as much about the fierce love of mother for child as it is about the romantic passion between the imprisoned Rapunzel and the prince. Drawing on the Grimms' and earlier versions of the tale, Zelinsky begins with a childless couple, who are thrilled when the wife finally becomes pregnant. She develops a craving for the herb rapunzel, and when her husband is caught stealing it for her, the sorceress makes a terrifying bargain: if she can have the baby, she will allow the wife to live. The stepmother raises Rapunzel, seeing to her every need, then locks her in a tower away from the world. Only the sorceress can enter the tower, by climbing Rapunzel's flowing hair. Then one day, the prince hears Rapunzel sing, falls in love with her, and learns to climb into the castle. They marry secretly. When Rapunzel becomes pregnant, the furious sorceress drives Rapunzel out, cuts off her hair, and blinds the prince. The lovers wander separately in the wilderness, where Rapunzel gives birth to twins; then the couple find each other, her tears make him see, and they come home to the prince's court. The rich oil paintings evoke the portraits, sculpture, architecture, and light-filled landscapes of Renaissance art. The costumes are lavish, the interiors intricate. Rapunzel is both gorgeous and maidenly. The sorceress is terrifying: the pictures also reveal her motherliness and her vulnerability, especially in the two double-page narrative paintings that frame the drama. One shows the sorceress taking the baby--and we see how she lovingly cradles it in her arms; in the climactic painting, when Rapunzel, the prince, and their children find each other, the whole natural world of rock and sky and tree seem to close around them in a loving embrace. Children--and adults--will pore over the intricate detail and glowing colors; they will also be moved by the mysterious tale of nurture and passion and terror.

Everyone has heard an urban legend at some point. Usually it starts with school girls daring each other to say Bloody Mary into a mirror, or hearing about the bug that laid eggs in someone’s ear. These tales, like original fairy tales, are often meant to caution people about bad behaviour, while others are just to frighten.
Examples of cautionary tales include the teenagers who are making out in a car, only to be interrupted by a man with a hook—the moral cautions about premarital sex. Or there’s the woman who spent a lot of time in a tanning bed, trying to get a tan for her wedding, and cooked her internal organs—moral, don’t use tanning beds in excess.
Many people enjoy telling friends a frightening tale. Urban legends play into our delight of scaring people in a safe way, as well as our fascination with the strange and gruesome. What’s better than creeping out a friend with a tale about the person who was out partying and woke up in a bathtub of ice missing an organ? Or that there’s a woman in white who haunts a section of highway because she was killed on her wedding night?
Urban legends are frightening because they are set in familiar settings—our homes, schools, towns—and are often told as third or fourth hand, “this happened to a friend of a friend,” or “my friend told me about this person he knew that knew someone.” They are meant to hit close to home. They play off our fears, being home alone or out in the woods, driving alone, things we eat, the dark.
With the rise of the internet, especially Facebook, a new way to spread urban legends has appeared. One of the most recent ones, I’ve seen, is that bananas were injected with HIV. There’s also the one warning about the gang initiation where members drive in a car with the headlights off and kill anyone who flashes their headlights at them.
Everywhere in the world has their own urban legends. Some have been made into movies, including Urban Legend, When a Stranger Calls, Carved, and The Grudge. Over the coming weeks, we have some guest posts that will take a closer look at some urban legends to celebrate our upcoming anthology Legendary.
Do you have a favourite urban legend?

PHOENIX — It was only days earlier, federal officials with Operation Warp Speed stood side by side, telling states they’d soon be flooded with extra doses of the coronavirus vaccine.
They urged those same states to open the distribution to folks 65 and older. That’s just what Arizona did, state officials announcing the change Wednesday. However, we’re learning, county leaders tasked with the distribution were never alerted ahead of time.
“It caught us off guard,” said Dr. Tescha Spears with Pinal County Health.
Dr. Spears says the announcement from the state caused residents there to flood phone lines and online systems for appointments that weren’t there.
“Our vaccine supply is so limited, we think it’s a misrepresentation to the public to suggest that we have enough vaccine[s] at the current time,” said Dr. Spears.
Her county isn’t alone. Maricopa health leaders are responding to this as well.
“We’re not sure when we’ll have enough vaccine[s] to include the additional 400,000 people in the 65 and over category,” said Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine Thursday.
In fact, every county we spoke with says they don’t have enough supply to move onto that group as they continue to work through 1A and others in the 1B priority population. Adding to the confusion, some state leaders across the nation are hearing that the massive supply promise from the federal government won’t happen. A concern we took directly to the top.
Last night, I received disturbing news, confirmed to me directly by General Perna of Operation Warp Speed: States will not be receiving increased shipments of vaccines from the national stockpile next week, because there is no federal reserve of doses.— Governor Kate Brown (@OregonGovBrown) January 15, 2021
“Luckily it doesn’t impact our current plans but it is disappointing because we would have loved to be able to ramp up,” said Arizona Department of Health Services Director Dr. Cara Christ.
Dr. Christ says the state will continue to receive its normal allocation and make that available to counties as it makes its way into Arizona. The demand skyrocketed with the announcement of more locations opening in the coming weeks. However, she also admits, information about supply continues to be unclear.
“We can’t guarantee that we won’t get decreased vaccine[s] coming up in several weeks,” said Dr. Christ.
If it does, that will cause trouble for the governor's plan to vaccinate our way out of this pandemic.
Either way, the county leaders ABC15 spoke with say the state should focus on under-promising and over-delivering.
“The messaging must be clear from all levels of government for that because otherwise it just creates frustration, anger, depression among people who are looking for the vaccine and wondering why they can’t get it,” said Dr. Spears.

Due to the pandemic, we weren't able to celebrate my 3-year-old niece's birthday. We opened presents over Zoom, and this book was a big hit! It went a long way to make her day special and the music is very high quality. Her parents didn't mind a noisy book! Many thanks!


As it took off from the Larsen C ice barrier, a DHC-6-200 Twin Otter aircraft de Havilland Canada, registration T-87, of the Argentine Air Force had an incident when its landing gear was jammed in a nose crack that broke the same and creates damage in the nasal area.
The flight crew members were unharmed and rescued by Bell 212 helicopters that took off from the Antarctic base Marambio. The process of initiating the rescue of the DHC-6-200 Twin Otter is currently being evaluated, as this must be done before the end of the current campaign on the white continent.
The aerospace engineers estimate the damage caused and whether the aircraft can be restored for service. Another proof of the difficult operating conditions in the Antarctic that the crew members have to face every day.
New equipment for the Antarctic
On the other hand, Manitou brand telehandlers were acquired, which have a 7.3-meter telescopic arm and a lifting capacity of 3,600 kilograms. They were assigned to the Antarctic base San Martín and the Antarctic base Esperanza and will be transported to these bases by the ARA-class transport ship “Canal Beagle” of the Costa Sur as part of the loading of material and equipment. This naval transport unit plans to set sail from the port of Buenos Aires shortly to join the current campaign. (Luis Pieiro)

The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season is steadily approaching. After the race at the LA Coliseum, there is the official season-opening race, the iconic Daytona 500. Of course, the COVID-19 virus is still lingering around like a stubborn blemish that refuses to go away. With the new variant plaguing the world, there are concerns about Daytona International Speedway’s attendance.
According to the track president, there will be no capacity limits in terms of the seating arrangement. However, they will observe the same protocols that they did in August 2021.
Daytona track president said yesterday no capacity limits … the protocols will be same as they were in August — must wear a mask if indoors. https://t.co/1q6T8SL1Zv
— Bob Pockrass (@bobpockrass) January 13, 2022
To be precise, all spectators have to wear a mask if indoors. Obviously, the track authorities will try everything in their power to ensure a safe environment for all.
What to expect from the 2022 Daytona 500?
Admittedly, we are going into this race blind. The only real indication will come after the Busch Clash race at the LA Coliseum. That race will be the first racing scenario that the Next Gen cars face, so the pecking order will probably be determined around that time. Until then, all the teams and drivers are busy testing the cars and ironing out last-minute issues.

It will also be interesting to see who will draw first blood in the 2022 season and challenge for the title. In the last five years, Denny Hamlin has won three times, including two in a row. However, Michael McDowell denied him a hat-trick in 2021. Now, Hamlin will be aiming to win his fourth Daytona 500 but will face plenty of competition from several of his rivals.
Among them will be defending champion Kyle Larson leading the Hendrick Motorsports charge. Even Hamlin’s own teammates will try and get in on the action, and the likes of Team Penske and Stewart-Haas won’t be far behind. Finally, McDowell’s 2021 win also proved that some other teams could be dark horses for the win.

"NORTH ELMHAM, a parish in the hundred of Launditch, county Suffolk, 5 miles N. of East Dereham. Thetford is its post town. It is situated on the river Wensum, and is a railway station on the Great Eastern line. This was once a city and seat of a diocese in the kingdom of the East Angles, from the latter part of the 7th century till 950, when the see was united to that of Dunwich, and subsequently transferred to Thetford and thence to Norwich. The Episcopal palace, situated on a neighbouring hill, was converted by Bishop Spencer, in the reign of Richard II., into a castle with a double entrenchment, of which there are some few remains, probably of the keep. The village is pleasantly situated on the W. bank of the river Wensum, and is spacious and well built. Petty sessions are held on the first Wednesday in alternate months. The old park of the Earl of Leicester in this parish comprises about 500 acres, well wooded. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Norwich, value £316. The church is a spacious edifice of considerable architectural beauty-cruciform, with a lofty square tower containing a peal of eight bells, surmounted by a slender spire. It is dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin, and contains remains of a beautiful screen and some handsome monuments. The register commences in 1538. There are some small parochial charities, £20 of which are for education. The Independents have a chapel. There is a National school for boys and girls. A great many antiquities, consisting of Roman coins, urns, &c., have been found in this neighbourhood. Lord Sondes, of Elmham Hall, is lord of the manor of Elmham Nawers, and the Dean and Chapter of Norwich lords of that of North Elmham, both in this parish. From the altar in the church ran a subterranean passage to the bishop's palace.
