2 sportscar-sized satellites in orbit to measure Earth's water

AFP, Washington
A SpaceX rocket Tuesday blasted off a duo of sports car-sized satellites built by the US and Germany to reveal changes in sea level rise, ice melt and drought on Earth.
"Three, two, one, liftoff!" said a SpaceX commentator as the Falcon 9 rocket launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California at 12:47pm Pacific time (1947 GMT).
The $521 million payload, called the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-on (GRACE-FO), was successfully deployed into its planned orbit some 310 miles (500 kilometers) above the Earth about 10 minutes after liftoff.

The mission picks up from GRACE, a satellite pair that launched in 2002 and tracked, among other things, precisely how much ice was lost each year in Greenland and Antarctica until 2017.
Groundwater, oceans, lakes, rivers and ice sheets will be monitored by the twin satellites, a joint mission between the US space agency and German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
The pair will fly 137 miles (220 kilometers) apart, or about the distance from Los Angeles to San Diego.
According to the laws of physics, the slightest variation in mass on Earth modifies the pull of gravity on satellites.
When the lead satellite passes over a mountain, it will get slightly farther from its twin for a few instants because of the extra mass in this area and a slightly stronger pull of gravity.
These variations in distance will be constantly recorded by the spacecraft, because each shift signals a change in mass on the planet underneath.
The satellites use a monthly reference point, because unless there is an earthquake or other unusual event, only water has the capacity to change that fast.
Water always has mass, whether it is in the form of liquid, solid or gas.
When ice melts, the oceans' mass rises. When it rains a lot in a certain region, the volume of the aquifers mounts. The satellites will pick this up, and the data will show that the mass in a certain area was higher than it was in the prior month, or year.
That is how the GRACE-FO satellites will establish a map of the water on Earth, every 30 days, showing which areas have more and which have less, whether above or below ground.
They operate with a precision equivalent to a change of 0.4 inches (one centimeter) in water height across areas of about 211 miles (340 kilometers) in diameter.
Other satellites to deploy
After the SpaceX rocket sent off its first payload, GRACE-FO, its second stage continued its climb in order to deploy a series of commercial communications satellites for the Virginia-based company, Iridium.
The five Iridium NEXT satellites are "part of the company's campaign to replace the world's largest commercial satellite network," said a statement.
A total of 75 satellites for Iridium are being sent to orbit as part of the upgrade, taking place over eight launches with SpaceX.
"That is a clean sweep again for all the deployments today," said SpaceX commentator John Insprucker after the five satellites floated into orbit, one by one.
He said SpaceX had tried but failed to catch the payload fairing, a nose cone used to protect the rocket, as it plunged into the ocean.
The fairing recovery ship "came very close but not quite," he said on SpaceX's webcast.
SpaceX did not attempt to land the first stage of the rocket after launch.

Relationship Fail!
James Packer Calls Mariah Carey A 'Mistake' In Shocking New Interview
'I was at low point in my personal life.'
By Stacy Pierre-Louis, October 20, 2017
Billionaire James Packer is finally opening up about his broken engagement to Mariah Carey in a candid new interview.
"I was at a low point in my personal life," 50-year-old Packer told The Weekend Australian of his time with Carey. "She was kind, exciting and fun."
Packer and Carey, 47, first met in 2015. He quickly asked for her hand in marriage and presented her a whopping $10 million engagement ring.
"Mariah is a woman of substance. But it was a mistake for her and a mistake for me," said Packer.
Though his relationship with Carey crashed and burned last year and they remain estranged, Packer revealed his relationships with two of his past loves are completely different stories.
"I get on exceptionally well with my two ex-wives," said Packer.
The mogul was married to businesswoman Jodhi Meares from 1999 until 2002.
And his six-year marriage to model-singer Erica Baxter — with whom he has three kids: Indigo, 9, Jackson, 7, and Emmanuelle, 5 — ended in divorce in 2013.
"It is my biggest regret that I let my marriage to Erica fail," he revealed, adding, "It is what it is and she is doing an incredible job with the kids and we are in a great place."

New Delhi: The Delhi Congress on Friday criticised the police for entering Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence for collecting evidence in connection with the alleged attack on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash, calling it an "undemocratic" move.
A large number of Delhi Police personnel on Friday descended at Kejriwal's residence to examine the CCTV surveillance system in connection with their investigation following the "attack" on Prakash during a meeting there on Monday night.
"It is unfortunate and undemocratic that the police entered the house of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal," said former Delhi Congress president Arvinder Singh Lovely.
Lovely had returned to the Congress last week, months after he joined the BJP, where he said he was an "ideological misfit".
He also criticised the Aam Aadmi Party over the alleged attack on Prakash by its MLAs.
The "real face" of the AAP has been exposed after the chief minister's adviser VK Jain gave a statement to the police admitting that Prakash was manhandled, Lovely said.
"AAP leaders were saying that no manhandling happened... but the real face of the party has been exposed before the people after Jain's statement," he said.
Jain has told the police that he saw AAP MLAs Prakash Jarwal and Amanutullah Khan assaulting the senior bureaucrat. He had previously said he had not seen anything as he had gone to the washroom at the time of the incident on Monday night.
Lovely claimed that the people of Delhi are confused now as to whether they have elected AAP for development or for incidents like the one that allegedly happened with Prakash.
"They have failed to carry out any development in education, transport, health, and social welfare sectors during the three years in power," he said.

Wynton Bernard could begin season with Detroit Tigers
Ausmus said Bernard could fit in short-term with Maybin recovering from broken wrist.
Wynton Bernard could begin season with Detroit Tigers Ausmus said Bernard could fit in short-term with Maybin recovering from broken wrist. Check out this story on Freep.com: https://on.freep.com/1pgi6zc
George Sipple, Detroit Free Press Published 11:06 a.m. ET March 9, 2016 | Updated 6:03 p.m. ET March 9, 2016

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Wynton Bernard could be with the Detroit Tigers when they start the regular season April 5 in Miami, manager Brad Ausmus acknowledged.
Bernard has been discussed as a short-term option with Cameron Maybin out with a broken left wrist.
Bernard, 25, hit .301 with 29 doubles, 78 runs and 43 stolen bases in 135 games at Double-A Erie last season. He also had eight triples, four home runs and 36 RBIs.
"In the short term, that's why we've talked about it," Ausmus said. "Because I think it's something we should consider. Longer term, I think it's probably in his best interest to play on a regular basis" in the minors.
Ausmus said Tyler Collins could see some time in centerfield, too.
Bernard joined the Tigers two years after being invited to an open tryout. Speed is his biggest asset.
"A lot of guys have speed, but you have to know how to use your speed, and he's still learning," Ausmus said. "That's part of the development. Everybody thinks you've gotta develop as a hitter. … You gotta develop as a baserunner and as a defender.
"There's a lot of nuances to stealing bases."
Bernard hit .323 with 30 doubles, 47 stolen bases and 91 runs in 131 games at Class A West Michigan in 2014, then made the jump to Double-A.
Keep working: Ausmus has downplayed the significance of players being on a tear early in spring -- such as catcher Bryan Holaday (.636, 9 RBIs) and second baseman Ian Kinsler (.333, 11 RBIs) -- or struggling, such as leftfielder Justin Upton (.091). "Any adjustments you've made or tweaks that you've made during the off-season, mentally or mechanically, that's what spring training is for," Ausmus said. "Especially for veteran players, it's starting to apply them in a game. But you have to keep reminding, as a coach or manager, that they are tweaking. Results may not be ideal to start. Sometimes it takes awhile for those things to grow roots."
Kinsler, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Miguel Cabrera, Nate Schierholtz and Tyler Collins hit home runs in today's 11-5 win over the Washington Nationals. The Tigers have a MLB-best 18 home runs this spring in 10 games.
"I don't think we have to see guys hitting homers to think that this team would be capable of that," Ausmus said. "We knew that regardless of what they've been doing in the first week and whatever games of spring training we've played."
Notes: Ausmus said, starting today, Kirk Gibson will work with small groups on baserunning -- starting with Iglesias and Maybin, then four guys Thursday. "He's getting more involved on the field now that he's here," Ausmus said of Gibson. …. Ausmus said Justin Verlander's pitch count will be around 50 today against the Washington Nationals. ... Teams have to send four regulars to road games during spring training. In Port St. Lucie on Monday, they were starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey, third baseman Nick Castellanos, centerfielder Anthony Gose and catcher James McCann. Ausmus said, because some veteran players have off-season homes near some of the longer trips, it has worked out well for him, in terms of choosing which players go on the road games. He said Upton will be the designated hitter Thursday, when the Tigers visit the Philadelphia Phillies in Clearwater, in part because Upton is staying near Tampa.


This past week virtually no one in the software world was surprised by Oracle's announcement of intent to acquire cloud talent management vendor Taleo. The acquisition that was something of a surprise, and maybe you even missed, was the much smaller move by Dassault Systemes to acquire Netvibes. The dollar values were quite disparate, Oracle paid $1.9B for Taleo, Dassault only a fraction of that at $26M for Netvibes. I wanted to take a deeper look at both, but I will say that while the Taleo acquisition certainly reinforces Oracle's commitment to rapidly expand its public cloud offering, the Netvibes acquisition may prove to be the more interesting discussion.
The Taleo acquisition does what I believe will become a common statement this year, it broadens Oracle's cloud portfolio and brings another group of customers into the Oracle fold. There are two major factors to look at here, 1. the major software vendors, particularly Oracle and SAP, are playing catch up to broaden cloud offerings and customers quickly and 2. the HCM market is seeing increasing competition from upstart Workday and others. From an Oracle perspective SAP's acquisition of SuccessFactors served as the catalyst to move this deal forward, but I don't think that was the only factor. Unlike SAP, Oracle does have credible talent and learning offerings already, but the lead product there, Fusion HCM, is still very new and just starting to gain traction (some analysts are using this acquisition as an indictment against Oracle Fusion Apps, but I don't agree). Adding Taleo to the Oracle Public Cloud portfolio, just like its other recent cloud acquisition of RightNow, which also had overlap with existing Oracle products, brings cloud expertise, additional credibility and additional customer relationships to exploit for cross sell / up sell from other Oracle products. Oracle has lot's of overlapping product lines, that never stopped them before, and certainly won't in the growing feeding frenzy around cloud products. I think there's a bit of "if we don't buy them, who else might" sentiment involved in this decision as well. And don't underestimate the Workday factor either, it is having impact on both SAP and Oracle, although I think SAP might be feeling the pressure a bit more. From an Oracle perspective its important to have a robust set of cloud HCM apps as the PeopleSoft base moves into a refresh cycle.
Taleo customers get benefits out of the deal as well, as you might infer from the diagram above. From a social collaboration perspective the addition of Oracle Social Network (OSN) to the Taleo product should be very attractive to the Taleo customers. Also look for Oracle to build tight integration between Taleo and the Fusion HCM suite, making that full cloud-based solution set more attractive. Taleo customers will get the stability provided by one of the largest software vendors and easier access to a broad portfolio of products including engineered solutions, database service and Fusion Middleware. Sorting out Taleo's architecture will likely be high on Oracle's work list post-acquisition, as Taleo, which is built on an older cloud infrastructure and isn't multi-tenant, could use a bit of modernization.
Now on the the second announcement, Dassault Systemes and Netvibes. On the outside this may seem like an odd match, a PLM / CAD vendor and a cloud socialytics vendor. I think this acquisition is an interesting tell to a strategic move by Dassault to reposition as a broader innovation platform. Today Dassault is securely positioned in the product engineering and manufacturing world, but product development is under pressure to become more social and to drive more innovation. In this highly connected and hyper-competitive business environment product / service innovation is even more critical to a business's survival. A disconnected or isolated product design process is something that has to change as companies need to leverage and include both a broader set of employees through better collaboration and outside constituents including customers and partners. The social customer, as I've written many times here, cannot be ignored and will engage with brands if given the opportunity and the right motivation. This isn't a discussion of SCRM though, although the lines between systems and processes like CRM and PLM / product design, need to and are getting much more blurry. Today companies need to listen to customers and then take action on the feedback. What better way to do that than through an integrated social listing and analytics offering like Netvibes.
The product lifecycle today is decidedly social and has to incorporate online conversations into the product process. Its a natural extension of PLM to embed socialytics into the design process and is an important first step to building out a full innovation management offering as I've outlined here. With the Netvibes acquisition, Dassault adds social monitoring, analytics and decision support capabilities into its leading PLM platform, moving to socialize the design process. This leaves Dassault with one gap though, that is a tool with the capability to manage the ideation process from capture (which it could do with Netvibes, although there are perhaps better purpose built tools available) through the entire process. Next I'd look for Dassault to acquire an ideation / innovation management vendor to add the overarching idea management process to the rest of its suite of innovation tools. There are a number of those vendors that could be potential targets including: Spigit, BrightIdea, BrainBank, Hype Softwaretechnik, IdeaScale, Imiginatik, MindMatters, Innocentive, and Uservoice. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what direction Dassault moves next.


Effect of thickness on fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior has been investigated at varying stress ratio in a quaternary Al-Li alloy. The thickness has been observed to influence FCG behavior in two opposite ways, depending on stress ratio. The crack closure concept has been invoked to rationalize the observed behavior. The roughness-induced crack closure is the main governing mechanism in the alloy under investigation. Factors such as fracture surface asperity size and severity of plane strain condition have been argued to affect the extent of crack closure, and consequently, fatigue crack growth behavior.

What are the medial branch nerves and why are medial branch blocks helpful? Medial branch nerves are the very small nerves that allow one to feel pain from the facet joints. These nerves do not control any muscles or sensation in your arms or legs. They are located along a bony groove in your low back, neck and over a bone in your mid-back. We have strong evidence to suspect that your facet joints are the source of your pain*. Unfortunately, simple joint injections and/or other treatments have not provided you with adequate pain relief. Therefore, you may benefit from having the small medial branch nerves and their pain signals interrupted via a controlled non-surgical heat lesion produced by a special needle. This more permanent treatment is called RF medial branch neurotomy.

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary
Acts Acts 15
IN ICONIUM, THE next place visited, the work was similar to that at Antioch. The synagogue was visited and the Word so preached that a multitude of both Jews and Gentiles believed. Again the Jews became the opposers and persecutors, and in view of riotous doings the Apostles fled to other cities.
At Lystra a remarkable miracle was wrought through Paul. A man lame from birth was healed; a miracle almost the exact counterpart of the one wrought by Peter, which we read of in chapter 3. That was done in the very heart of Judaism, and while it gave a great opening for testimony it also brought upon the Apostles the wrath of the Jewish leaders. This was done in the presence of the heathen, who interpreted the wonderful happening in the light of their false beliefs, and would have made an idolatrous festival, had not the Apostles protested, seizing the opportunity to declare to them the true and living God, who is the Creator. The Lycaonians would have done exactly what Paul charges the heathen with doing in Romans 1:25, saying they "worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever."
The fickleness of men is illustrated in verse Acts 14:19. The people who would have deified Paul are very easily persuaded against him by certain Jews who followed his footsteps, and they stone him, as they thought, to death. Paul now undergoes the very thing he had helped to bring upon Stephen. In the case of Stephen God did not intervene; in Paul's case He did. Whether Paul was really dead, or whether only battered nearly to the point of death, we have no means of knowing: whichever it was, his restoration, almost in an instant, to ordinary health and strength, was a miracle. The next day he journeyed forth to preach the Gospel in another city, just as though nothing had happened to him.
Their outward journey terminated at Derbe, having been one of evangelistic labours and sufferings. On the return journey they gave themselves to pastoral work, so that the souls of the disciples might be confirmed and established in the faith. It is worthy of note that they did not hide from the disciples that suffering was before them, but rather they told them that it was inevitable. They did not say that we may through some tribulation enter the Kingdom, but that we must through much tribulation.
That saying stands true today. We may try to evade the tribulation, but we do not succeed. If through cowardice we shrink from conflict with the world, we get the trouble in our daily circumstances, or even in the bosom of the church of God. The Apostle Paul himself wrote, "Our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears" (2 Corinthians 7:5). Today we have to say something similar, only we so often have to reverse the latter clause and say that we have too many fears as to the "without" to do much fighting, and consequently we are too often involved in fightings within the circle of the saints of God—it is, "without were fears, within were fightings." Either way however the tribulation is ours.
On the return journey they also found that amongst the older converts some were manifesting the character that marked them out as fit to exercise spiritual supervision, and these men they ordained as elders. Apostolic discernment was needed in making the choice, and also a real spirit of dependence on God—hence, prayer—and a refusal of the desires of the flesh—hence, fasting. And when the elders were chosen so that all might recognize them, they did not commit the rest of the believers into the hands of the elders. No, they "commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed." Each believer was set in direct connection and communion with the Lord by faith. Elders were instituted, not to intercept the faith of the saints, but to incite it to more reality and depth.
Cyprus was not touched on the return journey, and from Attalia they took ship for Antioch direct; and there, the church being gathered together, they told the story of their mission. They had not been sent by the church at Antioch but by the Holy Ghost, yet the church had a very deep interest in these servants who had gone forth from their midst. On their part the servants told what "God had done with them." God was the worker, and they but the instruments He had been pleased to use; and it was God who had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. The first missionary journey had proved this beyond all dispute.
Yet, though this was so, the manner of their service was not beyond all dispute. No one challenged them in Antioch itself during their long stay there, but then most in that church were of Gentile extraction. When certain men came down from the Jerusalem area, all was changed by the teaching that the observance of circumcision was absolutely necessary for salvation, and Paul and Barnabas had not practised this. When reading the early part of Acts 11:1-30, we saw that the Judaizing party in Jerusalem had questioned Peter's action in evangelizing Gentiles, in the person of Cornelius and his friends. Their opposition was overruled, and it was accepted that the Gospel was to go to the Gentiles. The point now raised was that, even admitting that, they must submit to circumcision in order to be saved, and the circumcision must be "after the manner of Moses," thus definitely connecting it with the law system. This new demand was firmly resisted by Paul and Barnabas, and ultimately they and others went up to the Apostles and elders in Jerusalem about this question.

L'Avro 536 fu un aereo da turismo e trasporto passeggeri monomotore biplano sviluppato dall'azienda aeronautica britannica A.V. Roe and Company (Avro) nei tardi anni dieci del XX secolo, subito dopo il termine della prima guerra mondiale.

Sviluppo civile del precedente Avro 504 e destinato al nascente mercato dell'aviazione generale, venne realizzato in 26 esemplari, costruiti negli stabilimenti Avro di Newton Heath, Manchester, e nei pressi di Southampton, nelle strutture dell'Aerodromo di Hamble, ed inoltre, in numero limitato, su licenza dal Surrey Flying Services Ltd.

Storia del progetto
Al termine del primo conflitto mondiale, nel Regno Unito si sviluppò un enorme interesse attorno al mondo dell'aviazione civile da diporto turistico con la conseguente richiesta per modelli di aereo adatti allo scopo. Per sfruttare il segmento di mercato in evoluzione la Avro decise di avviare lo sviluppo di un nuovo modello basato sul popolare modello 504, più esattamente sull'ultima versione 504K, modificandone la struttura per poter aumentarne la capacità.

L'ufficio tecnico dell'azienda progettò una fusoliera modificata che, all'altezza dell'abitacolo posteriore, monoposto, del 504K, presentava in una sezione allungata un abitacolo aperto che integrava quattro distinti posti a sedere, posizionati in tandem ed affiancati, protetti da altrettanti parabrezza per ogni singola postazione. La modifica comportò anche una differente disposizione della coppia centrale dei montanti interalari, spostati verso le estremità alari e, dato il maggior peso in condizioni operative, l'adozione di un propulsore dalla maggior potenza, il rotativo Bentley BR1 da 150 hp (112 kW) che già equipaggiava la versione 504L avviata alla produzione nello stesso periodo.

Identificato dall'azienda come Avro 536, il prototipo, caratterizzato dal serbatoio di combustibile annegato nella parte centrale del profilo dell'ala superiore, venne portato in volo per la prima volta nell'aprile 1919 dall'Aerodromo di Hamble, Hamble-le-Rice; nei successivi voli trasportò, ai comandi del capitano ed asso dell'aviazione Harold A. Hamersley, anche l'allora lord cancelliere in carica. In seguito il prototipo venne modificato in configurazione idrovolante a scarponi caratterizzato anche da un impennaggio modificato che sarà in seguito ripreso nella produzione in serie del modello. Questa variante non ebbe seguito produttivo rimanendo l'unico esemplare realizzato.

Durante l'anno venne avviata la produzione in serie del modello ma ben presto, a causa di gravi incidenti di volo occorsi a due dei primi tre esemplari, fu necessario intervenire con una modifica dell'impennaggio. La causa degli incidenti era stata identificata nella notevole coppia torcente data dal motore Bentley BR1, quindi a partire dal quarto esemplare venne adottato un nuovo piano verticale di più ampie dimensioni che aveva il compito di contrastare il fenomeno riscontrato.

La produzione in serie venne avviata in due diversi stabilimenti della Avro, quello di Newton Heath, quartiere di Manchester, e nei pressi di Southampton, nelle strutture dell'Aerodromo di Hamble.

Impiego operativo
Il modello non fu particolarmente fortunato: gli esemplari di fine produzione non riuscirono ad essere utilizzati in servizio per la chiusura, nel 1920, della Avro Transport Company.

St. George The Dragon Slayer In Stained Glass
Posted by Shya Beth on April 23, 2016 April 23, 2017
Chartres, France. Photo from here
Happy St. George's Day! In this post is a brief history of St. George and some of the many stained glass panels he is featured in.
According to legend, St. George was a Roman soldier and military officer in the Guard of Emperor Diocletian of the Roman army. His death was ordered for for failing to leave behind his Christian faith. As a Christian, he later became one of the most venerated saints in Christianity.
In hagiography, as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers and one of the most prominent military saints, he is immortalised in the myth of Saint George and the Dragon killing in Beirut, Lebanon.
His memorial holiday, Saint George's Day, is traditionally celebrated on the Julian date of 23 April (interestingly, it is on May 6th according to the Gregorian calendar). Many countries, cities, professions and organisations claim Saint George as their patron.
There are many depictions of St. George killing the dragon, which is said to represent Satan. The earliest known surviving narrative text is an 11th-century Georgian text.
In one version of the story, a dragon or crocodile makes its nest at the spring that provides water for the city of "Silene" (perhaps modern Cyrene, Libya or the city of Lydda in Syria Palaestina, depending on the source). The the citizens had to lure the dragon from its nest to collect water. To do so, each day they would offer up the dragon a sheep, then a virgin maiden if no sheep could be found. The victim was said to be chosen by drawing lots. During one of the drawings, the princess of the city gets the unlucky fate to be given to the dragon. The monarch begs for her life to be spared, but to no avail. She is offered to the dragon, but then Saint George appears in his travels. He faces the dragon, protects himself with the sign of the cross, slays the dragon, and rescues the princess. The citizens then abandon their ancestral paganism and convert to Christianity.
Below are the stained glass panels! I could not find out where they are all located, so if you have any information, please let me know in the comments.

Dream-life – From selling rooms to selling homes
How Alexis Barbovitch switched from being a hotel manager to being the oracle on developments along the coast
WHEN it comes to new-build developments on the Costa del Sol, few people have a clearer picture than Alexis Barbovitch and Alina Florentina at Prime Realty in Marbella.
The pair have around 200 projects currently listed on their website and have personally visited and inspected every one.
And there are many more out there…around 300 along the coast at present, with around a dozen new ones appearing on the market every month.
"The market has gone mad and we're seeing between two and six developments being launched every week at the moment," explains Alexis, 34, at his office on San Pedro de Alcantara's swanky new Boulevard.
"And personally I wouldn't consider investing in half of them.
"Everyone is trying to make money, get on the bandwagon, but few developers are established and able to give cast iron guarantees.
"And there are quite a few big foreign investment companies, who, when the numbers stop adding up, will simply leave. That concerns me.
"I would also be very wary with a few of the small ones and plenty are, quite simply, in the wrong location."
And he should know, having grown up on the coast with a developer father (more of which later), who has build dozens of homes on the Costa del Sol.
In particular, he advises buyers to look at the distance to the beach, as well as the views and local infrastructure.
"There are plenty of excellent choices, such as the ones by Kronos Homes, and Prime Invest, which is a really professional company with 12 developments.
"The massive project in La Quinta is a very interesting one, owned by the huge Pascual milk family, finally being exploited after 30 years in the pipeline.
"I also like a couple of the Bromley ones, as well as Valley Heights in La Resina, a really up and coming area."
There is actually not much of the coast that Alexis doesn't know, with his father Igor Barbovitch having built homes and apartment blocks between Alcaidesa, near Sotogrande, all the way through to Torrox, on the other side of Malaga.
"He was a key figure behind Alcaidesa golf and worked on so many projects here," continues Alexis. "He has three Masters degrees and instilled in me a real work ethic."
It was through his father that he ended up studying hotel management at the leading college Les Roches, in Marbella.
From here he got a job as manager at a hotel in the Barcelo chain, before working at a string of leading hotels, such as the Hotel Formentor, in Mallorca, where he became the youngest sub-director at the age of 26, and the five star Bobadilla Hotel, near Antequera, where the King of Spain and Brad Pitt were guests.
But while he loved meeting guests, including the President of China, after 12 years he felt drained and depressed, in particular with the long and antisocial hours.
He realised he'd had enough and wanted something else and as a keen follower of the stock markets he could see that the property market was finally picking up nicely.
After nine months working for a local agent – where he met his current partner Alina, who was boss of listings there – the pair left and set up their own agency Prime Realty in April 2016.
"We make a great team Alina gets the listings and I do the sales," he explains.
"I'm still selling dreams, but I've gone from selling rooms to selling homes," he adds.

Genetics is the science of genes and heredity. It can link a person to a crime scene, a father to a child and — in the case of the kudzu bug — a pest to its home country.
University of Georgia genetic entomologist Tracie Jenkins has used population genetics to track the kudzu bug that was discovered in Georgia three years ago, to its home country of Japan.
The kudzu bug was first spotted in Georgia in the fall of 2009 when insect were sent to the UGA Homeowner Insect and Weed Diagnostic Laboratory in Griffin, Ga., from UGA Cooperative Extension agents in Barrow, Gwinnett and Jackson counties.
The insect feeds on kudzu, soybeans and other legumes. It has become a nuisance to homeowners and a threat to international trade as it hitchhikes in shipping containers and on passenger jets.
So why do scientists like Jenkins in the United States need to know the kudzu bug is from Japan?
She and her UGA colleagues are working to answer these questions in their on-going search for ways to control the bug.
This isn't the first time Jenkins has tracked an insect's path using genetics. She has tracked termites in Germany back to their original home in France, termites in England back to nursery plants in Portugal and termites in Atlanta, Ga., back to railroad ties from New Orleans, La.
DNA helped Jenkins determine that the kudzu bugs in Georgia are all related, maternally.
Knowing exactly where in Asia the pest originated will help "stop the gap where it's coming into the country," according to Jenkins. "After all, Asia is a really big place," she said.
To put branches on the kudzu bug's family tree, Jenkins first had to build a DNA database of kudzu bugs. Seven collection sites in Asia sent samples to her laboratory on the UGA campus in Griffin, Ga.
"Now I can compare the haplotype of our bug with the other female haplotypes from Asia," she said.
Jenkins found the kudzu bugs now calling the southern U.S. "home" are more closely related to samples from Japan. The samples from China did not match the kudzu bug now munching its way through the Southeast.
UGA CAES scientists are searching for ways to control the pest, including introducing an egg parasite from Japan.


This black-faced sheep was in a paddock up the hill from my family home in Wanganui. In New Zealand any field that is fenced to hold livestock of any kind is called a paddock. I notice in the U.S. only fields that fence in horses are referred to as paddocks, otherwise they are called "fields".
This paddock illustrates a few of the classic features of a "Townie-farmer", that is to say, someone who has an acre or two to amuse him or herself on a part time basis while they hold down a job in town: pasture that contains weeds, in this case quite a bit of bullrush, and a slack wire fence strung between fence posts that were probably homemade. The sheep, however, is in tip-top condition.
Hey John, Kyle Here, its nice to see some photos taken just around the corner, do you remember if that was when me and blake were with you, hi from us all.
Hi Kyle. Yes, I do remember you guys were with me. I really enjoyed those walks up the hill with you two. Glad you like the pics.

Richard Tuttle, an artist I hold with deep regard, loves textiles. A few years ago he was asked by curator Mary Hunt Kahlenberg to put together a show of 25 Indonesian ceremonial textiles. His choices as well as the commentary captions he wrote—referred to by him as "love letters" to each of the pieces—were published in a small book called Indonesian Textiles.
The textile's motif is the most apparent communicator with the spirit world, translated in the form of ancestors…constrained by the grid of weaving, these complex characters and ideas are simplified and become abstractions. In this process they are reduced to their essentials.
I also was stopped by this metaphysical aside, suggested by Kahlenberg's Indonesian mentor: "The warp is what is given in life and the weft is what happens in life." Well played.

I have a new crush and his name is Joe. Joe makes a mean & cheap, or should I say 'inexpensive' pizza. Inexpensive is a better word as Joe does not skimp on ingredients. I love all the cheesy goodness Joe brings to the table.
Since finding Joe's we have ordered from him at least 5 times. (We found him a month ago...don't judge me.)This picture makes my mouth water. Give me a little grease, cheese & pepperoni & I'm in heaven! Plus when I can feed this family of 6 for under $20 I am one happy camper!
His spinach rolls are a little slice of heaven, but I do have to say I won't be ordering his desserts again. Don't get me wrong, they aren't bad, I'm just way picky when it comes to cannolis and tiramisu.
So, if you are looking for good pizza in the Killeen/Ft. Hood area, Joe's is the place to go! He is located at 408 N Fort Hood Street in Killeen, Texas. 254-432-6070 Enjoy!

Pennsylvania coronavirus update: State sets yet another record with 11,763 cases as deaths surpass 11,000
By Daniel Patrick Sheehan
The state Department of Health reported 11,763 additional cases of the coronavirus Friday, a record that brings the state total to 398,600.
The death toll rose by 169 to 11,113.
The Lehigh Valley reported 888 additional cases — 484 in Lehigh County and 404 in Northampton — for a total of 22,590. Three new deaths in each county brought the Valley's total to 738.
Both counties were among the top 10 with the most additional cases. Philadelphia led the list with 1,512.
The seven-day moving average of newly reported cases was 7,855, up 15% from 6,833 a week ago.
Statewide, hospitalizations increased by 159 over Thursday to 5,230. Of those patients, 596 were on ventilators and 1,065 in intensive care units.
On Thursday, Pennsylvania Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine said there were no intensive care beds left in some counties.
State data showed two regions in the state — called the Southwest and Keystone regions by the Health Department — have surpassed a critical level in the staffing shortage metric. That means 33% or more of hospitals in those regions anticipate staffing shortages within the next week.
The Southwest region includes Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Cambria, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Mercer, Somerset, Washington and Westmoreland counties. The Keystone region includes Adams, Bedford, Blair, Centre, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Fulton, Huntingdon, Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon, Mifflin, Perry, Snyder and York counties.
Representatives of both St. Luke's University Health Network and Lehigh Valley Health Network said they have beds left.
On Friday, 31,650 people received test results, with 34.4% testing positive compared to 34.7% on Thursday. The overall positive test rate is 11.3% since the state's first cases were reported in March. More than 2.8 million people have tested negative.
Nursing and personal care homes have had 37,946 resident cases and 7,124 cases among employees, for a total of 45,070 at 1,316 facilities in 65 counties. Of total deaths, 6,900 have occurred among residents of these facilities.
There have been 15,269 cases among health care workers.

After the Saône, into which it flows, the Doubs is the second longest river in central eastern France.
After the Saône, into which it flows, the Doubs is the second longest river in central eastern France. It has had a long and varied past and its valley has hosted a wide range of human activities.
From its source near Mouthe (alt. 945 m), the Doubs flows northeast through the folds of the Jura Mountains before doing an abrupt about turn to head southwest along a narrow valley that takes it past Besançon. Between Besançon and Dôle, the gradient eases and the river takes a more meandering course across a 2-km wide flood plain. Below Dôle, at Parcey, the Doubs is joined by its main tributary, the Loue, before it flows across the Saône plain to join the Saône at Verdun-sur-le-Doubs.

US probes terror links to 3 attacks
posted September 19, 2016 at 09:10 pm by AFP
NEW YORK—Three attacks carried out in the United States on a single day--a New York bombing, a Minnesota mass stabbing and a New Jersey pipe bomb blast--were under investigation Sunday for potential terror links.
Authorities say there is no evidence that the attacks were coordinated but their timing in under 24 hours raises fears about security--already a major issue in the country's deeply divisive presidential election battle between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Twenty-nine people were injured when a bomb exploded in New York's upmarket Chelsea neighborhood on Saturday night, damaging buildings, shattering glass and sending shrapnel flying across the street.
A second bomb was uncovered by police four blocks away and defused safely, before being sent to the FBI in Virginia for forensic examination.
Both bombs were filled with shrapnel and made with pressure cookers, flip phones, Christmas lights and explosive compound, The New York Times reported late Sunday, citing law enforcement officials.
CNN reported that officials had obtained surveillance videos showing the same man near the site of the explosion and where the undetonated device was found, according to "multiple" local and federal law enforcement sources.
Hours earlier, less than 100 miles (160 kilometers) south in New Jersey, a pipe bomb exploded in a trash can on the route of a Marine Corps run before the start of the race, causing no injuries but forcing its cancellation.
In the Midwest, an assailant reported to be Somali-American went on a stabbing spree in a shopping mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota, injuring nine people before being shot dead by an off-duty police officer.
US authorities said the motive of all three attacks was unclear, but elected officials quickly identified them as terror-related.
"If you look at a number of these incidents, you can call them whatever you want: they are terrorism though," New Jersey's Republican Governor Chris Christie, a member of the Trump campaign, told CNN.
"A bomb exploding in New York is obviously an act of terrorism, but it's not linked to international terrorism," Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Sunday after touring the scene of the explosion in Chelsea.
"In other words, we find no ISIS connection, et cetera," said Cuomo in reference to the Islamic State group. But he also stressed the lack of an international terror link was preliminary.
New York went on full alert, deploying nearly 1,000 extra state police and National Guardsmen to airports, bus terminals and subway stations as President Barack Obama arrived in the city ahead of Tuesday's opening of the UN General Assembly.
There was no claim for the bombings in Manhattan or New Jersey, but a jihadist-linked news agency, Amaq, claimed that an IS "soldier" carried out the Minnesota stabbings.
IS has repeatedly called for attacks on countries in the US-led coalition bombing the extremist group in Syria and Iraq.
"This should steel our resolve to protect our country and defeat ISIS and other terrorist groups," said Clinton, using another acronym for IS.
The Democratic nominee, whose lead in the polls has taken a dip, condemned what she called "apparent terrorist attacks."
Trump, who described the blast in New York a bombing more than 12 hours before officials or police, tweeted his "best wishes and condolences to all of the families and victims of the horrible bombing."
In Minnesota, FBI agent Rick Thornton confirmed that federal agents were investigating the stabbing as "a potential act of terrorism," as local media identified the suspect as a 22-year-old Somali-American.
Police confirmed that the assailant asked some victims whether they were Muslim before attacking them and made "references to Allah."
While all 29 people who were injured in the New York bombing have been released from the hospital, three of those hurt in Minnesota remain hospitalized, officials said.
"Was it a political motivation, a personal motivation? What was it?" New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a news conference. "We do not know," he added, calling on residents to be vigilant.
Fifteen years after the September 11, 2001 attacks, officials stress that the United States is safer from terror plots that originate from overseas but more at risk from the lone-wolf attack perpetrated by individuals who may be inspired by IS or Al-Qaeda propaganda.
"In many of these cases we don't know until two, three or four days later whether or not there is a terrorist link," warned New York Congressman Peter King in a CBS television interview.

A postage stamp on the occasion of the historic performance of the Macedonian football players at the European Football Championship 2020 was promoted today by AD Macedonian Post.
The promotion, which took place in the premises of the Directorate of AD "Macedonian Post" – Skopje, was attended by the General Manager Jani Makraduli and the Director of the Agency for Youth and Sports Naumche Mojsovski.
The director of the Agency for Youth and Sports, Naumche Mojsoski, said that our football heroes deserve such a gesture and a postage stamp in their honor.
– I hope that by the beginning of the opening of the EC we will gather forces as many citizens as possible to attend the stage in Bucharest. As an athlete, I know that it is not the same to play with full and empty stands, said Mojsovski.
The Macedonian national football team has secured its first historic appearance at EURO2020, which will be held from June 11 to July 11 in several cities across Europe.

Every entrepreneur knows that productivity is one of the key ingredients for successful product development. One of the two key processes in Robert's Rules of Innovation is the NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. A formalized, NPD process – also referred to and best practice: the Stage Gate® Process – is a must, from simple to sophisticated. Here I will suggest an 8 step process which is fairly universal. Use it as a tool and adjust as necessary.
