Today was a pretty big news day. Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his associate Rick Gates were indicted in Robert Mueller's Russia investigation on charges of conspiracy against the United States and money laundering.
Needless to say, this story has been dominating the news cycle... everywhere except Fox News, that is. Sure, the network beloved by Donald Trump mentioned the news of the indictments, but they made sure to make time for another crisis, one they apparently believed deserved as much weight as a conspiracy against the United States: the crisis of the cheeseburger emoji.
The cheeseburger emoji debacle began Saturday morning when Thomas Baekdal tweeted about the placement of the cheese on Google's burger emoji.
I think we need to have a discussion about how Google's burger emoji is placing the cheese underneath the burger, w… https://t.co/A6NR5aOjQT— Thomas Baekdal (@Thomas Baekdal)1509208198.0
Obviously, as many pointed out, the cheese belongs on top of the meat of a burger. But the tomato can't be on top, or else it will make the bun all soggy.

We thought it was all over when the CEO of Google himself, Sundar Pichai, weighed in:
Will drop everything else we are doing and address on Monday:) if folks can agree on the correct way to do this! https://t.co/dXRuZnX1Ag— Sundar Pichai (@Sundar Pichai)1509249983.0
Come Monday morning, there were major things happening in Robert Mueller's investigation. So there's no way major news outlets were going to give airtime to a silly Internet story about an emoji. Right? Wrong.
Fox & Friends is on a commercial break right now, but here is what they were discussing a few minutes ago. https://t.co/gqpgtwx7XH— Marina Fang (@Marina Fang)1509367668.0

HOLIDAY HOUSE: A Series of Tales. Dedicated to Lady Diana Boyle. Third Thousand.
Edinburgh: William Whyte and Co, 1839. xii, 354 pages. Frontispiece and five other hand-coloured lithographed plates, each bearing two images. Original decorative cloth gilt. Front hinge cracked; one signature a little sprung; ex-libris Dr G. Bell with his bookplate and notes to the front fixed endpaper; presentation inscription on the endpaper from [possibly] a member of the Sinclair family; a very good copy of an extremely scarce book. The first two editions, each of a thousand copies, were not illustrated; there also exists a portion of the third thousand that is also unillustrated. This portion of the “third thousand,” which should really be designated a third edition despite there being no alteration to the letterpress, is the first illustrated edition, and it is unknown how many of the thousand copies that constituted the entire printing were issued with plates. Presumably the illustrated edition was more expensive, and therefore it should, strictly speaking, be designated a “de-luxe” edition. After this edition all printings were illustrated with only one plate as a frontispiece. It was not until the sixth edition of 1856 that the plates, now newly coloured-printed, were restored. The above edition is extremely scarce, as are all early issues. For a detailed bibliographical indexing of the editions, see Brian Alderson, Appendix II of ‘Childhood Re-collected.’ Holiday House, has often been cited as the first children’s book to portray children as being mischievous simply because they are children, and to be free from moralising. F. J. Harvey Darton, called it “certainly the best original children’s book written up to that time, and one of the jolliest and most hilarious of any period… It is the first example of real laughter and a free conscience.”

13 million 2009 Christmas shoppers still in debt.
2010 Are you getting ready
for your holiday shopping or are you neck deep in it already? Along
with the post Thanksgiving holiday shopping came some interesting
statistics in the news about our shopping habits. Thinking about
budgets, credit cards, and cash typically accompanies many holiday
shopping plans, and rightly so. According to the November 20, 2010
Suze Orman personal finance show holiday shoppers will spend an
average of $689.00 during the season. They will also spend an
additional $107.50 on themselves.
The offers presented to us may look very appealing, but it is important to keep perspective about your own economic well being. Paying interest on your purchases for a year, or longer, could easily evaporate the savings you found during the sales. Consider only buying the deals that fall within your budget and that you have been saving and planning for, or find other gift giving alternatives.

2. 159000 miles
3. Manual Transmission
I know the subject makes it sound like a warped rotor but I've had a new rotor and pad put in and it's still the same issue.
I ran over a center divider (wasn't paying attention) and I believe the entire car went over. I can see the scrapes on the plastic covers underneath. The caster angle on the driver side wheel is -0.1 degrees now, not positive.
Anyways, the front end of the car shakes violently during braking depending on the speed. During low speed ( < 30), I don't really feel much. During 60mph+ I definitely feel the whole front end shake and it's loud.
I feel as if there is something loose in the front suspension - bushing, bolt, etc. I've tried shaking my wheels by hand but didn't feel any looseness.
also, during normal driving, I feel some slightly rumbling sensation (vibration not shaking) through the steering wheels. It never did that before and my friend's civic does not do that. It's worse on rough roads.
i want to add one more thing. When I brake "hard" meaning stepping on the pedal with more force than required, the shaking is deadened quite a bit. It's the worst when I apply a medium amount of force.
what could be causing this?
have the same problem?

It should come as no surprise that the gifted author of The Sea Around Us and its successors can take another branch of science—that phase of biology indicated by the term ecology—and bring it so sharply into focus that any intelligent layman can understand what she is talking about.
Understand, yes, and shudder, for she has drawn a living portrait of what is happening to this balance nature has decreed in the science of life—and what man is doing (and has done) to destroy it and create a science of death. Death to our birds, to fish, to wild creatures of the woods—and, to a degree as yet undetermined, to man himself. World War II hastened the program by releasing lethal chemicals for destruction of insects that threatened man’s health and comfort, vegetation that needed quick disposal. The war against insects had been under way before, but the methods were relatively harmless to other than the insects under attack; the products non-chemical, sometimes even introduction of other insects, enemies of the ones under attack. But with chemicals—increasingly stronger, more potent, more varied, more dangerous—new chain reactions have set in. And ironically, the insects are winning the war, setting up immunities, and re-emerging, their natural enemies destroyed. The peril does not stop here. Waters, even to the underground water tables, are contaminated; soils are poisoned. The birds consume the poisons in their insect and earthworm diet; the cattle, in their fodder; the fish, in the waters and the food those waters provide. And humans? They drink the milk, eat the vegetables, the fish, the poultry. There is enough evidence to point to the far-reaching effects; but this is only the beginning,—in cancer, in liver disorders, in radiation perils…This is the horrifying story. It needed to be told—and by a scientist with a rare gift of communication and an overwhelming sense of responsibility. Already the articles taken from the book for publication in The New Yorker are being widely discussed. Book-of-the-Month distribution in October will spread the message yet more widely.
The book is not entirely negative; final chapters indicate roads of reversal, before it is too late!

By Dominic Pedler
More than thirty years after The Beatles split up, the music of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison lives on. What exactly were the magical ingredients of those legendary songs? why are they still so influential for today's bands?
This groundbreaking book sets out to explore The Beatles' songwriting techniques in a clear and readable style. It is aimed not only at musicians but anyone who has ever enjoyed the work of one of the most productive and successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century.
Author Dominic Pedler explains the chord sequences, melodies and harmonies that made up The Beatles' self penned songs and how they uncannily complemented the lyrical themes. He also assesses the contributions that rhythm, form and arrangement made to the Beatles unique sound. Throughout the book the printed music of the Beatles' songs appears alongside the text, illustrating the authors explanations.
The Songwriting Secrets of The Beatles is an essential addition to Beatles literature - a new and perceptive analysis of the music itself as performed by what Paul McCartney still calls 'a really good, tight little band'.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Hidden behind the doors of England's wealthiest manors are altars dedicated to the worship of Satan, the sites of hideous black mass rituals. These twisted scenes of torture and sacrifice are perpetrated by the country's most prominent citizens, seduced by the power of Count Dracula. The vampire has enlisted the aid of politicians, generals, and scientists to unleash a deadly plague on the earth. The legendary vampire hunter, Dr. Van Helsing, learns of the scheme just before the Sabbath of the Undead, the day chosen for human annihilation. With the aid of his granddaughter and two investigators, he pursues Dracula to his foul lair where they clash in a devastating battle that will decide the fate of the human race.
The Satanic Rites of Dracula, released in the U.K. as Count Dracula and his Vampire Bride, is the final film pairing Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Their portrayals of Dracula and Van Helsing in the Hammer series are definitive within the vampire genre, and The Satanic Rites of Dracula is an impressive finale for the saga. Contains nudity.
In this modern update of the Dracula saga, Count Dracula (Christopher Lee) leads a Satanic cult of prominent scientists and politicians into developing a gruesome plague virus. His only obstacle is his old nemesis Lorimar Van Helsing (Peter Cushing). The Count poses as an isolated billionaire, and holds hostage Van Helsing's granddaughter (Joanna Lumley). Though Van Helsing does not realize that his arch enemy is the same person responsible for the plague, but sets about trying to rescue his granddaughter. When he uncovers the truth behind the secret identity--will he stop the villain once and for all'

It's really weird, because AGT host Nick Cannon introduces her by pointing out that "Friday" got over 160 million views like that is a non-complicated positive statistic, even though Black earlier this week told ABC she dropped out of school when the bullying got really bad. Will we eventually all have to pretend that we were never laughing at poor Rebecca Black?

- "Housing is a human right, fight fight fight!" shouted low-income housting tenants as they filed into Yesler Terrace Community Center on Wednesday.
An unusual group of political bedfellows—Seattle mayor Ed Murray, Council Members Bruce Harrell, Nick Licata, and Kshama Sawant, and the League of Women Voters—are opposed to a new proposal by the Seattle Housing Authority (SHA) to drastically raise rents on some public housing tenants, decoupling their rates from their income levels in the process.
Providing subsidized low-income housing is the primary reason that SHA exists, leading some to call this plan an "oxymoron." Today, Licata announced he's asked federal housing officials to investigate whether the plan, which SHA calls Stepping Forward, could have a discriminatory impact.
And on Wednesday at Yesler Terrace Community Center, a room of women, kids, and current and former tenants—many in headscarves, listening through translators speaking languages from all over the globe—as well as housing activists and socialists denounced the plan. In fact, every single person who offered public comment was against it. At one point, Kshama Sawant asked anyone in the room who opposes Stepping Forward to raise their hand. Seemingly everyone did, erupting in a chorus of cheers.
The proposal would affect 7,100 non-elderly or disabled adults in 4,600 households across Seattle—about 35 percent of SHA's tenants. Executive Director Andrew Lofton explained how the rent hikes would work in a series of PowerPoint slides:
SHA says it will require all of the affected tenants to undergo a "self-sufficiency" assessment that includes an education and employment plan, conducted in conjunction with local groups like the King County Workforce Development Council, which runs the employment assistance program Worksource. The council's president, Marléna Sessions, got up and assured everyone that thousands more jobs will be added to the local economy. "It's a great time in our local labor market," she said.
Lofton told me in an interview this summer that SHA's goal is to cycle more people out of its units more quickly and serve more people who are on its waiting list—which is tens of thousands of people long. And Nora Gibson, the chair of SHA's board, which will vote on the proposal later this year, said that as she listened to the testimony, she was imagining all the people not in the room—"the next wave of refugees from Bhutan and Burma."
But Jean Harris, the first woman to speak, radiated wisdom and dignity as she spoke deliberately and slowly, giving time for the translators to do their thing. "I was raised in Yesler Terrace and my mother died in Yesler Terrace," she began. She spoke highly of the SHA's vision in the past—Yesler Terrace was the first racially mixed housing project in the country, back in 1941.
But, Harris intoned, "Are you serving more people as you're pushing people out? Are we actually asked to rubber-stamp a proposal that's already a fait accompli?
"I think they [SHA officials] might be a little short sighted in their vision," she said. "If we had been forced to function under this, I don't know where I would be."
The comments continued in that vein for the next 90 minutes from around the room. One man said Worksource had laid him off and advised the crowd to put pressure on Mayor Ed Murray to appoint better SHA commissioners.
Another complained that Worksource didn't help him learn English or obtain employment. You say we can all get jobs and afford higher rents? He challenged Lofton and the other SHA employees: Learn Somali or Chinese in the next year—then we'll believe you. That got a huge round of whooping applause from the crowd.
SHA wants to move to its Stepping Forward regimen in part because of budget cuts related to sequestration at the federal level, which it says will reduce its funding by $12 million over the coming decade. But the only reason it can propose a plan like this is because it's one of 39 public housing agencies around the country given a waiver by HUD under the "Moving to Work" program.
Last year, an Inspector General audit found serious flaws in the program and said it should not be expanded. Who does support this program? For one, Senator John Sununu—a Republican perhaps best known for making a series of crass and stupid remarks about President Obama.
Sununu introduced a bill in 2006 (HUD was finding major flaws in the program back then, too) to expand Moving to Work to hundreds of housing agencies nationally. That should tell you something about how badly this proposal fits a place like Seattle, where we're already dealing with gentrification and some of the highest rent increases in the country.

Visiting Costa Rica has been a long time coming. So long, in fact, that we even dedicated over a month of our trip to it before we even arrived. That’s quite a commitment for a trip that had very little planning to begin with.
As we got closer to Costa Rica, we really started getting excited. We had seen the pictures, heard the stories, and done the research but what was the experience going to be like for us? Were our expectations going to be set so high that we wouldn’t see the amazingness before us?
Our initial experience was a month spent in our lovely apartment in Playas del Coco but that wasn’t the Costa Rica we’d imagined. That isn’t to say that we weren’t enjoying ourselves, because we were having a blast. But it felt like something was missing- something that we weren’t able to get with all the tourism infrastructure. We needed to see the wilder side of Costa Rica. And that is exactly what we got with a visit to the property owned by Kim and Barry from DestinationCR near Bataan. This was the Costa Rica we had yearned for.
Instead of standing on our apartment porch watching the rain splash in the pool, we sat on the deck made from nearby trees and watched the rain fall on the forest of green that surrounded us.
Instead of flinging a tiny spider from our hostel room, we removed a tarantula from the kitchen.
Instead of hopping over the streams flowing down the gutters in the streets, we forded the river that snaked through the land.
Instead of coming home to an overweight hostel cat, we were greeted by Stinky and Binky- the resident sloths.
Instead of trying to drown out the sounds of the nearby traffic, we were serenaded to sleep by frogs and geckos.
Instead of keeping our eyes peeled and ignoring the honking of cabs, we closed our eyes and listened to the howler monkeys shrieking from the treetops.
Because of our experiences roaming parts of Costa Rica that are difficult to find on most maps, our high expectations of the country were not met but surpassed.

Arkivum is pleased to announce that Princeton University Library has selected Arkivum Perpetua to deliver cloud-based digital preservation and safeguarding services supporting its world-renowned records and collections.
The Arkivum Perpetua solution will help Princeton University Library address the challenges of managing the growing amount of born-digital content, all in a variety of file formats and policies. These challenges are coupled with strict security requirements for handling personal data such as student records and complex user access policies dictated by the university information governance policies.
The requirements to manage Princeton University Library’s unique digital assets were defined and reviewed by a committee with representatives from the library, university archives and IT department. The requirements included, among others, a multi cloud deployment architecture and a data escrow model to ensure vendor independence.
Arkivum Perpetua will be deployed on top of Princeton’s Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure cloud environments and embedded within its technology stack the industry-adopted open source tool – Archivematica, to ensure the library is fully independent of any vendor proprietary formats or workflows.
“Arkivum have been very responsive to our needs and presented the most comprehensive solution to support the long-term preservation of Princeton’s digital records and archives”, says Jon Stroop, Director of Library IT and Digital Services at Princeton University.
“We’re very excited to finally have a digital preservation solution in place. Once Arkivum’s Perpetua is fully implemented, we plan to continue to work with Arkivum to create further reports and bring new data into our workflows”, adds Alexis Antracoli, Assistant University Archivist for Technical Services at Princeton University.
Yaron Naor, VP & GM Americas at Arkivum says, “It’s very satisfying to be able to deliver a solution that meets Princeton University requirements; the team at Princeton are forward thinkers and our partnership will support them as they deliver on the promise of digital preservation.”
Princeton University will be hosting Arkivum’s next customer event in North America this coming April. If you would like more information about our North America based events, please get in touch.

Facing mounting criticism over its use of millions of dollars in donations, the campaign to oust President Chen Shui-bian (
Since former Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) chairman Shih Ming-teh (施明德) initiated the campaign in early August and received donations totaling NT$111 million (US$3.36 million), a total of NT$41.7 million has been spent as of Oct. 2, with NT$62.62 million left in the account, according to Lu Tai-nien (呂台年), a deputy coordinator of the campaign.
A closer look at the expense list revealed that advertising and promotional materials, including balloons, banners and stickers, accounted for the largest share of expenditure (NT$21.47 million).
This was followed by big-ticket items such as stage and location fees (NT$13.15 million), deposits for the use of public places (NT$390,000), and workers' salaries (NT$406,000).
Lu dismissed criticism that the campaign has not been transparent about its finances, saying it balanced its account every week.
"Our financial record is very transparent. We are not afraid to provide detailed information and allow the public to check [our finances]," Lu told a press conference last Friday, adding that it would make public a more detailed financial record in the near future.
While Lu maintained that its financial records were transparent, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Spokesman Meng Yi-chao (
"Where are the receipts of the `allowance?' How many people are paid `salaries'? And how much did each receive? The `moving fee' and `transportation' fee are even more confusing," Meng said.
Moreover, the balance should be NT$69.4 million (assuming NT$111 million in donations less NT$41.7 million in expenses), rather than NT$62.62 million, Meng said.
In response to the accusations, Lu simply said that the campaign would provide receipts in the near future, while acknowledging a NT$6.86 million difference.
"The amount of money was already spent, but hasn't been entered into the account books because we have not received the receipts yet," he said.
Aside from the financial discrepancy, members of the campaign's decision-making body offered contradictory statements when asked how much the campaign has spent.
Chang Fu-chung (
Another deputy coordinator, Lee Hsin (李新), said that the donations would be used up soon, and that the campaign would not rule out the possibility of launching another fundraiser in the future.
Campaign spokeswoman Wang Li-ping (王麗萍), however, dismissed Lee's remarks and said the committee did not discuss the possibility of another fundraising.
"We have been so busy with the sit-ins and the national tour, and really don't have time to calculate all the expenses and collect all the receipts," Wang told the Taipei Times.
"But we will control our expenses and won't waste the donation," she said, adding that there was no definite timeline on when the campaign would provide its detailed financial report.

Wigan supremo Dave Whelan will stop Charles N’Zogbia from leaving in the window - because he fears it will cost him a fortune.
Whelan has told N’Zogbia’s advisers that there is no chance of a sale despite interest from Marseille, Sunderland and other Premier League clubs.
The veteran chairman knows he could lose cash on the French winger, who will be less valuable in the summer as his contract begins to enter its last year.
However Whelan reasons that losing N’Zogbia now would push his Latics closer to relegation which would mean financial hardship - and also hit his chances of selling the whole club.
N’Zogbia has been told of the decision by his agents and insiders in his camp admitted: ‘’Mr Whelan has made it plain that he will not be sold next month. Obviously it is likely Charles will go in the summer instead.’’

The movement to audit the Federal Reserve has come a long way over the past couple of years. According to Business Insider, there is a good chance that audit the Fed will be part of the official party platform in August:
A GOP source tells Business Insider that the Republican Party is seriously considering including support for an audit of the Federal Reserve in the party's platform this year, a move that would enshrine Paul's signature policy in the Republican Party doctrine for at least the next four years.
Wow, how things have changed since 2008!
The fact that the GOP is strongly considering placing it in their platform is a huge victory in and of itself. This just goes to show that auditing the Fed is both good policy and good politics. While the Republican platform may be non-binding, it is a big step towards achieving a comprehensive audit of the Fed.
Of course, we must always hold Republicans' feet to the fire.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has announced that Ron Paul's Audit the Fed bill, H.R. 459, will be voted on Tues 7/24, Wed 7/25, or Thurs 7/26. Click here to politely call your representative and urge him or her to vote YES on H.R. 459.

I had an interesting lucid dream last night.
That’s all I can tell you — because I didn’t WRITE IT DOWN! I was too busy with the thought – why I am awake so early on a Saturday?. That didn’t last long though, as I turned over and passed out again.
Have a piece of paper or a notepad and a pencil beside you at night, and jot down a few words about your dream when you wake up. It’ll be easier to recall that way. You will also start to train yourself to pay more attention to your dreams.
Or as njosnavelin suggested, use an audio recording device (many smartphones have these) to voice record your dreams, and listen to them later to recall or even write them down. It really helps!

Factory record were on of the most iconic label during the ‘80s, releasing classic records from Joy Division, New Order, A Certain Ration, Happy Mondays, and countless others. One of the releases that has gained notoriety of the years is The Return of The Durutti Column, the debut album The Durutti Column.
A great deal of that notoriety comes from the sleeve, which is made of coarse sandpaper. The idea was taken from Memoirs, a book by Guy Debord, which had a sandpaper sleeve that was designed to destroy the other books on your shelf. Wanting to make their make on the industry, The Durutti Column used this technique and 3600 copies of their debut album were manufactured with the same style sleeve.
According to legend, the sleeves were put together by members of Joy Division, A Certain Ratio, and various other Factory Records alumni. As the story goes, Ian Curtis was gluing them while the rest of the band watched pornography in the same room…
The actual content of The Return of The Durutti Column is fantastic. It was miles ahead of its time, and while the UK was hooked on the hypnotic repetition of post-punk, Durutti Column mastermind was thinking outside the box. The instrumental album is marvel of intricate guitar work, with gentle atmosphere and incandescent hum. Reilly drew from classical guitar, folk, new wave, and even soft rock, eschewing the raw clatter of post-punk at the time. It almost serves as a pre-cursor to dream pop, and you can almost hear the Cocteau Twins taking notes.
It proved a divisive formula for The Durutti Column, and history says that not everyone knew quite what to make of the Martin Hannett produced LP. Even Reilly himself seemed indifferent to the music he made, simply wanting to “just try and be truthful,” as he said in an interview. This was parodied in the movie 24 Hour Party People, where footage was shown of Reilly playing to an empty Hacienda.
Whether it was popular or not, listening back to the album nearly forty years later, its feels so much more important. By taking a chance, and going against the grain of the early ‘80s, The Return Of The Durutti Column has aged incredibly well and has stood the test of time.

Business owners react to new regulations for adult entertainment establisments
FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) -The Fargo City Commission approved amendments to an ordinance, relating to “adult entertainment establishments.”
The zoning code defines and governs where these kinds of businesses can operate. Some business owners are not pleased with the city’s efforts to tighten regulations.
Kim Patterson, the owner of Enchantasys in Fargo, says her business will be drastically hindered now that the zoning ordinance has passed.
She says her business will now be classified as an adult bookstore, which she says will cause many impacts.
Patterson says the ordinance will affect how they are allowed to advertise and their ability to expand or move.
She added that it will also have a lasting impact on which customers visit her establishment.
Patterson is hoping the city will work with them to further clarify how her business can operate.
”The way it’s worded, there isn’t a lot of talk of whether we are grandfathered in. I don’t know if we have to put up signs saying you have to be 18 plus now to shop in my store,” she said.
The attorney for Enchantasys, Mark Western, says the ordinance is a clear sign the city wants to categorize all adult entertainment businesses as the same.
“The ordinance that the city commission just passed lumps places like Enchantasys in with strip bars,” he saidEnchantasys does not believe it should be subject to the same regulation as the strip bar or adult bookstore.”
Enchantasys has been open for nearly 20 years, with two locations in Fargo and 4 additional shops in the Midwest.

Norfolk squit and songs about the sea feature in Cromer gig

Tickets are still available for a joint gig featuring the Sheringham Shantymen and Keith Skipper at Cromer Pier Pavilion Theatre.
This is the third year the shantymen have performed this gig and spokesman Dick Grieve said: 'It started as a one-off as part of our 25th celebrations two years ago. It's a charity gig and the proceeds will be shared by the RNLI at Sheringham and Cromer and the Magdalene Group charity in Norwich, which raises awareness of sexual exploitation of women and young people.
'Ticket sales stand at about 340 and the theatre holds about 490.
'Keith will give us his renditions of Norfolk squit and other such stories whilst the shantymen will be singing their usual mix of maritime songs under the broad headings of water, normally the seas and the ocean, alcohol and the fairer sex.'

When visiting Dubai, the journey there is half the fun. If you haven’t already travelled to the Middle East, then you really are in for a treat, especially if you choose to fly with Qatar Airways. It makes the 7-hour journey from the UK feel more like part of your holiday, rather than a necessary evil that you just have to grim and bear.
Unlike western airlines, which relentlessly try to make as much money out of their passengers as possible by squeezing them into overcrowded cabins, Qatar airways, oozing with all the style and extravagance you would expect from the richest nation in the world is in a class of its own. Here are my top reasons why I only fly Qatar Airways when travelling from the UK to Dubai.
Described as a 5-star flying experience, it’s not hard to see why. From the moment you arrive at the airport to check in your bags, to the moment you step off the plane in Dubai, the service and quality of both the aircraft and staff are second to none.
It’s easy to forget the importance of the pre-flight facilities when choosing your airline. This is a rooky error. Remember with most international flights you will be hanging around the airport for about 3 hours before your flight. Present in most of the main UK airports, Qatar Airways lounges are definitely worth upgrading for.
The premium lounge in Heathrow is particularly impressive, boasting Arabic style water fountains and elegant seating areas and restaurants. There are some great opportunities to upgrade using Qatar Airways promo codes if you know where to look.
It is the on-board service however, where Qatar Airways absolutely excels in terms of service. Their cabin crew have been voted the best in the Middle East for seven consecutive years and it’s not hard to see why. When you step onto the plane the attentive flight attendants will show you to your seat and explain the ins and outs of the on-board entertainment and food and drinks menu.
Before and after take-off the attendants walk around the cabin offering passengers complementary scented flannels to freshen up which is a nice touch, especially at the end of the flight. A truly international airline, Multi-lingual flight attendants are common place with Qatar airways.
The meals on board a Qatar Airways flight are the best you will find on a flight. They are always served warm and taste fantastic, which is saying something coming from a self-proclaimed fussy eater. On flights from the UK you usually have the choice of a western style meal like roasted chicken or pasta, as well as middle eastern dishes such as an Arabic Meze. The one small thing they could improve on is increasing their vegetarian options.
Flying economy class with Qatar Airways is more like flying the business class of other airlines. The seats are comfortable and spacious with plenty of room so you can make yourself comfortable. You are also supplied with a fresh blanket and pillow.
Most of their flights now have on-board wi-fi available throughout the plane and there are power outlets, USB plugs and a personal telephone available to economy passengers. This is a huge plus as most airlines will only supply business and first class customers with these facilities. The inflight entertainment system is superb with more than 3000 options to choose from. This range from newly released films, TV shows, radio stations and video games to choose from.
The best part about flying with Qatar airways to Dubai is that this exceptional service is extremely reasonably priced. You are exposed to a continuous fell of luxury, without the luxury price tag to go with it. Keep your eyes peeled for speical promo codes which can offer you upgrades or extra travel points.
In summary, after flying with Qatar Airways once, it’s hard to imagine travelling on a long-haul flight with a different airline again. As a frequent flyer from the UK to Dubai, I have yet to find an airline with better value for money or service.

I didn't think to go deep into the subject of bass guitar, although I have an acoustic instrument for home music.
But there were pieces, where the bass is revealed unexpectedly full and beautiful — that's why I decided that it is necessary to share.
However, there was no group where such scores were in demand.
So this group was created.
And then there were musical pieces, where a variety of instruments have a solo in the bass register. And the group slowly began to be filled with content. Yet the catalog is very modest. But it's not evening yet...
This is a duet that I wrote a few days ago. I thought it sounded lovely so I would like to share it with all of you!
Any cello players hmu
This is a short arrangement of the beautiful hymn "Abide with Me" for string quartet. Hope you enjoy!
Would anyone happen to have any viola and bass duet pieces? Me and my friend are looking for something that is beginner-intermediate*, and the bass part does have something more than quarter notes. I'll also be okay with a Viola/Cello part, as long as it doesnt go below a low E. Thanks!
*We've been playing for about six months, and the hardest we've done is doing Moana songs (like 4 songs in one score). I'm sure we could also figure out a intermediate piece too.
I need two motifs for two cats one is mischievous and the other is curious.
I am doing a string quartet in G major the time signature is 4/4.
Each motifs needs to start and end on G/B/D and be no longer than a bar long.
Any suggestions please
This is my first attempt on string quartet! I will be glad if you can give me some feedback!
So I only have a few measures of a first movement but I hope to expand this into a full 4 movement string quartet. Thing is, I find it hard to get the combination of being in sonata form and still being interesting when it gets past duets into trios and quartets. I know it should be easier because I have more freedom with a string quartet than with a piano sonata but no, I have always found piano sonatas easier to compose.
Here is my first draft. You can see that I go from a Tutti to the cello playing solo which really brings out the warm sound of the cello. I plan on having the other instruments come back one by one until I reach Tutti again. So here is the link:
i wanna arrange a music sheet for a single track but i can't do this i wanna help me please...
I'm going to be picking out a duet for me and a fellow Cello member in my Orchestra, and I was wondering if anyone had any good pieces to use.
I want to increase the note head size for my elementary students...How do I do it?
This is my first arrangement of a song, so please look at it and give me feedback as to what to change and what to fix.
The song is Coldplay's Fix You.
Please and thanks!
Someone broke my viola today and I'm genuinely sad. I guess I was attached to the viola(unlike it's fingerboard lmao). But anyway I feel I just went through all the stages of grief. I dunno I guess it's because I can't play it until it get's repaired imo. Anyone else felt this?
Hi everyone! This summer I will be competing in a show with a friend of mine and we will both be playing electric violin. We want to play a pop song but it has to be somewhat complicated. I would REALLY appreciate any song suggestions and/or sheet music. Thank y'all so much!

From here on out – we’re doing 2 hour podcasts! Myself and Joyce kick off the first hour by talking about our current love interests. I gave a little info on my flyout – which resulted in strictly cuddling and no hoe down throw down. We also share advice for a loyal MEIA listener who reached out for help regarding a toxic relationship.
For the second half of our podcast, Fran finally arrived and Compton artist Garren stopped by, and he dropped some gems on us: the day you stop growing should be the day you die. He talks to us about his father, growing up in the church, and creating his own genre of music – universoul. Garren’s not like most R&B/soul singers out there; he listens to Bon Iver (how do we pronounce that.. we still don’t know!), gospel, and rock music in his spare time. You can check out his current EP, Normal, out now.

Sonoma Valley Hospital has reached an important milestone in fundraising efforts for the Capital Campaign for Emergency Care by meeting the Vadasz family’s $2-million challenge match.
Combined with other recent community gifts, the hospital has now raised $8.9 million toward the $11 million needed to complete expansion of the new hospital and its state-of-the art emergency care center, currently under construction.
Last November, Les and Judy Vadasz challenged Sonoma Valley Hospital to raise $2 million for the Capital Campaign for Emergency Care by this September. By spring, the hospital had raised the first $1 million toward that challenge which was then matched by the Vadasz family. This week, the hospital’s Campaign Cabinet completed raising the second $1 million to complete the challenge grant from the Vadasz Family Fund, an advised fund of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
Speaking about the successful match, Les and Judy Vadasz said, “We are proud to be a part of such a generous and giving community. We knew our community would join us in supporting this important campaign and we are thrilled that the challenge was met so quickly.”
The Campaign Cabinet, a committee of volunteers tasked with completing the Vadasz challenge, was launched in April. David Good, who co-chairs the cabinet with Simon Blattner, said, “This is a giant step forward toward the completion of our campaign to provide superior health care to all Somomans. It could not have happened without the generosity and dedication of so many.”


An uncompromised, fast and maneuvrable fighter. The remarkable thin elliptical wing made the Spitfire capable of very high speeds, but it had to be reinforced several times to retain aileron effectiveness. The Spitfire served as first-line fighter throughout WWII in increasingly fast and powerful versions, first with the Merlin, later with the Griffon engine. The Spitfire was continously changed to meet all kinds of threats and demands, as low- and high altitude fighter, tropicalized, navalized, or equipped as unarmed photo-reconaissance aircraft. Probably the most famous military aircraft ever.
Designer of the Supermarine Spitfire has been Reginald Joseph Mitchell which on 11th June 1937 died aged just 42.
Production ended in October 1947 (Mk.24), 20,334 built. The RAF retired its last Spitfires - PR Mk. 19 recce aircraft - in 1954.

I recently had the opportunity to try out the DESTEK V5 VR Headset with Bluetooth Controller, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. As an avid fan of virtual reality, I was excited to see what this headset had to offer. From the moment I put it on, I was transported to a whole new world of immersive experiences.
A Perfect Fit for My Phone
One of my initial concerns was whether my phone would fit properly in the headset. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max with a case, and I was pleased to discover that it fit perfectly in the DESTEK V5. The headset is designed to accommodate smartphones with a screen size of 4.7 to 6.8 inches, making it compatible with a wide range of devices.
Impressive Visuals and Easy Controls
The image quality through the lenses of the DESTEK V5 was outstanding. I watched some 4K 360 videos through the YouTube app, and the visuals were sharp and clear. While there were still some visible pixels, these were more a result of the phone’s display rather than the headset’s lenses.
I also appreciated the convenience of the button on the headset itself, which allowed me to control apps and content with ease. Additionally, the included Bluetooth controller was a nice bonus. Although it couldn’t be used as a game controller on iOS, it worked well for tasks like playing, pausing, muting, and adjusting the volume.
A Comfortable and Lightweight Design
The DESTEK V5 headset is both comfortable and lightweight, weighing in at just 13 ounces. The T-shaped headband can be adjusted to fit different head sizes, making it suitable for both adults and children. The design also allows for wearing glasses while using the headset, which is a feature not commonly found in other VR goggles.
Compatible Phone Models

The phone size should be within 188.8.131.52 inches (LWH) and have a screen size between 4.7-6.8 inches.

While it didn’t function as a game controller for iOS, it allowed me to easily play, pause, mute, and adjust the volume of the content I was enjoying.

Appearance: Miss World's younger sister.
Younger … and more American? You betcha! The beauty contest was launched in 1952 to promote a California swimsuit company, and now belongs to bouffant billionaire Donald Trump. Up to 85 countries take part every year.
It's just like the Olympics! Because?
Because such friendly rivalry breaks down barriers and gets the whole world speaking a common language. Hm.
You're supposed to say: "Yes, and that language is beauty." Instead of which I'm going to point out that Miss Universe is in fact an egregious manifestation of phallocratic hegemony, a skimpily clad insult to the memory of Emmeline Pankhurst, Susan B Anthony and Emily Stowe.
Says who? Every single woman I know. I've just asked them.
In that case … Why give it the oxygen of you-know-what? Because it has just become marginally less outrageous. Miss Universe now welcomes transgender contestants.
Are transgender people queueing up to take part? At least one is. Model Jenna Talackova (above), who had gender reassignment surgery four years ago, has been told she can enter the Canadian round of the current contest. Next year the competition will accept trans people worldwide.
What's in it for the winner? A film school scholarship, an undisclosed salary, clothes, shoes, makeup and a year travelling the globe talking about how lovely peace is. She also gets to enjoy the Trump Tower.
Is that a euphemism? It's supposed to be a reference to a flat in Manhattan.
I'm struggling to see how any of this promotes equal rights. That's because you're not the president of the Miss Universe Organisation. If you were, you would be pointing out its "long history of supporting equality for all women".
So long as they're tall, slim, under 27, not visibly disabled, unmarried and childless? Only three of those rules are on the organisation's website. The current Miss Universe, Angola's Leila Lopes, insists her best feature is "inner beauty".
Numbers two and three being? Modesty and self-knowledge, of course.
Do say: "I'm not just a pretty face"
Don't say: " … I've also got a lovely bottom."
