If the wooden ground is now ever more popular, Mermaid Room can not be rejected, even has turned into a tendency inside the world of interior planning. Form and various kinds are increasingly currently mushrooming on the market. This requires one to selectively choose what type of timber floors are of good-quality. But sadly most of you are still confused in choosing a natural timber ground with all the imitation.
Obvious in the following issues that often develop from consumers regarding the wooden flooring. From the preceding report we could find before choosing to decide on a wooden floor for that family and wooden floors healthful, should be thought about beforehand unknown destination using wooden floor.
This kind of material is not tolerant to water. This sort of lumber is actually a clone of the original wooden floors where top of the layer resembles wood concept produced from a kind of plastic. As it consists of plastic-type so as better scratch resistance. But when you need a hot setting with natural motifs derived from the Mermaid Room that is first Floor is obviously not the right choice.
Floor items are original wooden surfaces, because so many lumber floor products on the market aren't all-wood. Below we identify three varieties of wood flooring items witnessed from the content as a thought inside the variety. Listed below are on picking a natural timber surfaces: Mermaid Room such as for example linens of panel of a particular measurement, three tips.
This type's advantages are authentic and natural. Color correction can be carried out via a process of varnish. Nevertheless, this sort of wood floor price present somewhat superior as it is constructed of wood pieces that are solid. The installment takes a long-time cause chemical odors from concluding.

Samsung is throwing yet another Android tablet into the mix; a 7-inch slate called the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite.
The WSVGA display sports a 1024×600 pixel resolution (170 ppi), which falls far below high-end devices such as the refreshed Nexus 7 (323 ppi). It runs on a underwhelming 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage, which is expandable using its microSD card slot.
If you haven't surmised this already, the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is a low-end device geared towards customers on a budget. That's highlighted by the unremarkable 2-megapixel camera on the back, the outdated Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) firmware and a light 3600mAh battery under the hood.
The device will be available in white and black, but there's no official word on pricing or availability just yet.

IGNACE JAN PADEREWSKI (1860-1941)
Polish Pianist and Composer
Ignace Jan Paderewski is one of the most famous pianists in history. He was a superstar pianist, a movie star, and a Prime Minister of Poland. So why is he today treated with less than the respect he deserves? It may be the natural inclination to look for the Achilles heels of the rich and famous. It may be that he made many records late in life at a time when his playing was less than it had been. It may be the outgrowth of somewhat malicious comments made by jealous peers. Or it may be that familiarity breeds contempt, he did record an awful lot. And his Hollywood appearances playing the Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 have certainly not helped. But on the basis of a few recordings alone, Paderewski deserves the fame and glory that are his.
Enough has been written about Paderewski that I do not need to go into the detail of his life. (If you are interested, there is a Wikipedia article that covers the salient points.) Suffice it to say that he was a pupil of Theodor Leschetizky in Vienna, and as with so many of Leschetizky's better pupils, embarked on what was to become, in his case, a phenomenally successful career as a concert pianist.
Less widely known is the fact that Ignace Jan Paderewski was also a very accomplished composer. His only opera, Manru, was performed by the Metropolitan Opera in 1902 and is to this day the only Polish opera by a Polish composer ever to have been performed there. And no less a composer than Sir Edward Elgar borrowed a theme from Paderewski's Fantasie Polonaise. Paderewski wrote piano music, songs, chamber music, a piano concerto dedicated to Leschetizky, and a symphony.
Perhaps the only work by Paderewski that is widely known is his Minuet in G, so I'll start there with two recordings, one from 1917 and another from 1937. Even though Paderewski was well past his prime by the time of the later recording, the gorgeous playing for which he was so admired is still evident. And you will hear an infinately superior minuet to the one we have all massacred as young piano students. What will be a huge surprise to those who only know Paderewski from recordings like the Liszt second Hungarian Rhapsody is the delicacy and subtlety of his playing.
The Chopin C sharp minor Waltz from Opus 64 is just beautifully played, certainly one of the finest performances of this piece I know. The Chopin Etude Op 25 No 2, I can easily imagine myself swooning in the aisle. And his Beethoven and Schumann (just listen to his recording of The Prophet Bird from Wladszenen)just make me wish desperately that he had recorded more.
As for those who make disparaging comments about his technique, It's the MUSIC ....
I should add that Paderewski edited the complete works of Chopin in a very handsome edition which I have been using, along with the Cortot edition, for much of my life. I have always found his fingerings to be excellent and based on facility rather than dogma. You could not tell it from my playing, but I owe him much.

For some time, the E&T Committee have been searching for an alternative to the DMM Eco Anchor, which is no longer manufactured. Our preferred option would be to find an exact copy of the Eco Anchor since this retains all of the existing investment in testing, procedures and training as well as recognition of the scheme by users. Having been offered a supply by a UK caver with manufacturing facilities based in China, we believed we had found a source which would be able to provide anchors meeting our specification for the foreseeable future. A prototype batch of anchors indicated performance comparable with the DMM product and so we decided to press ahead with production quantities. Unfortunately, tests on the first production batch indicated problems with the material or manufacturing process. While the forces at which failures occurred were in excess of the limits which are required for anchors complying with the industrial standard for anchors, they are significantly below the safety margin which E+T have previously decided we should aim for.
Cavers may find some background historical and technical information useful at this point. It is generally accepted that the key measure of anchor performance is the axial pull out force. For anchors approved to BS EN 795 (the standard for industrial applications) the axial pull out force is required to be no less than 10kN. For mountaineering anchors (applicable standard BS EN 959) this figure is 15kN. The view of the BCA E+T Committee is that a figure of 25kN is appropriate for anchors placed in caves.
The choice of safety factor for any piece of equipment used for lifting or supporting a load is dependent on a number of factors. These include the expected maximum load, the likely frequency of over-load, the frequency of inspection, the susceptibility of the material to fatigue, the rate of wear and the expected life of the anchor. The higher safety factor chosen by BCA reflects the fact that it is expected that anchors placed in caves will undergo no regular maintenance or inspection in the caving environment and that, because they are used with single static ropes, they may occasionally be subjected to higher forces than those designed for use with dynamic mountaineering rope.
Anchors from the first prototype batch received from China failed at loads of between 25 and 45kN, with the failure mode being directly comparable to the DMM Ecoanchor (i.e. the anchor metalwork elongates and then pulls out of the resin, maintaining a peak force around the E+T's target value until the tang of the anchor is almost all out of the rock).
Anchors from the first production batch received from China failed at loads of between 14 and 47kN. Furthermore, the mode of failure indicated significant problems with the material/and or heat treatment during manufacture (some of the metalwork actually broke during the tests).
None of the production batch of anchors have been placed in caves but 77 of the prototype anchors have been placed in locations in the Yorkshire Dales. These are located in six caves: Stream Passage Pot, Disappointment Pot and Marylin at Gaping Gill, Roaring Hole and Rowten Pot. They can be identified by the laser-etched marking "BCA01" on the anchor.
It is important to stress that not all anchors in these caves are affected. Precise locations of the anchors, and details of the tests, may be found on the CNCC website. To put the number into context, there are over 5000 Ecoanchors installed in Dales caves.
Although the prototype anchors would appear to meet the BCA E+T performance criteria, the Committee has decided that they should be removed because the results of the tests on the production batch of anchors leave us with a lower degree of confidence in the long term performance of these anchors than is the case for the DMM product. Our intention is that all of these anchors should be decommissioned within two years of a suitable alternative anchor being identified. Work to select and confirm an alternative anchor is already well advanced.
The E+T Committee would like to remind cavers using anchors of any type that no single point of belay should be relied on for applications where a failure of the belay could result in serious injury or death.

Q: nuxt-optimised-images variable size parameter not working (or webpack loading issue?) I created a component where I just want to define an image source, and specify an array (prop name sizes for optimisation.
If I declare:
<source
  :data-srcset="require(`~/assets/images/${src}?resize&size=${150}`)"
  type="image/png"
  :media="`(max-width: ${maxWidth}px)`"
  />

Everything goes fine.
However, if I change the 150 with a variable size, I get a console error.
Example:
<source
  :data-srcset="require(`~/assets/images/${src}?resize&size=${size}`)"
  type="image/png"
  :media="`(max-width: ${maxWidth}px)`"
  />

The error:
Error: Cannot find module './image.jpg?resize&size=150&format=webp'
    at webpackEmptyContext (eval at ./assets/images sync recursive ^\.\/.*&format=webp$

The image.jpg is there in my /assets/images/ directory. It is valid, since the only thing I changed is de size parameter to a variable value.
Here is the full code for the component I'm trying to create:
<template>
  <figure class="picture">
    <picture>
      <template v-for="(maxWidth, size) in Object.entries(sizes)">
        <source

[Brain profile of hypometabolism in early Alzheimer's disease: relationships with cognitive deficits and atrophy].
Auteur : Chételat G, Desgranges B, Eustache F
Journal : Rev Neurol (Paris) 0035-3787
While accurate and early prediction of patients that will develop Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the near future is urgently needed, the amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) state is of particular interest since it most conveniently represents the pre-dementia stage of AD. Consistently, the profile of brain functional alteration constantly evidenced in resting-state SPECT and PET studies is similar to that observed in mild AD, mainly involving the posterior cingulate and temporo-parietal regions. While the former is a characteristic feature of MCI, since it is present in each patient at this stage, the latter seems specifically associated with the future conversion to AD. Moreover, right temporo-parietal hypometabolism has been found to be the best predictor of subsequent global cognitive decline, over and above neuropsychological and MRI volumetric measurements. This review also presents a discussion on the relationships between the brain profile of hypometabolism on the one hand, and cognitive impairment as well as cerebral structural alterations on the other. Thus, firstly, while functional impairment in the posterior cingulate region seems to be associated with deficits in retrieval of episodic memories in MCI, the relationship between right temporo-parietal hypometabolism and cognitive impairment is still obscure. However, several arguments point to its relation with visuo-spatial deficits, which are often associated with future conversion to AD. Secondly, the discordance between brain areas of major functional changes, and those of highest structural alterations, leads to some relevant questions about the relations between both pathological manifestations and their underlying mechanisms. More specifically, additional hypometabolism-inducing factors could occur in areas of highest hypometabolism compared to atrophy, i.e. mainly in posterior associative cortical regions, leading to genuine functional perturbation in early AD before the development of real atrophy and perhaps of disease as well. By contrast, the hippocampus is the main site of atrophy while its functional alteration is still debated, suggesting that compensation/protective mechanisms probably specifically occur in this structure to maintain a high level of metabolism relative to its structural alteration.

I love this. Making a tube from a tube. But I can't quite work out the tube destination. I'm going for Morden or Hendon (as in Hendon Central...but I'm not sure that's ever end of line anyway)on the Northern Line. But then it might just be a made up destination to fit with your cast of passengers. Yes? No?
I could marry you for this.
Pretty sure this just cements the idea that you are utter perfection, sir.

Coniferous trees are evergreen plants typically found in mild to colder climates. Conifers harden in winter to prevent freezing and death in extreme cold.
Coniferous plants are uniquely pollinated by wind-blown pollen that fertilizes their cones. The cones are the reproductive organ of coniferous plants.
Balsam firs are a coniferous tree which can reach up to two hundred years in age. Balsam firs are known for the resin which accumulates in bark blisters and seeps out creating a fragrance to the tree.
Conifers do not have leaves but instead have needles which they keep from 2 to 15 years, depending on the species. Coniferous plants do not flower or fruit.
Coniferous forests in Asia and Canada are in danger due to acid rain. Acid rain destructs native soils and renders soil unlivable for coniferous trees.
The largest coniferous trees are the redwoods in northern California. These coniferous trees can grow up to 300 feet tall and 8 feet wide.

2015: The year pop music got weird
Featured Stories I by Claire Lobenfeld I 30.12.15
To talk about pop music in 2015 is to be constantly unsure of sound.
While artists like Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and One Direction (RIP) fulfilled the quota for what we typify as something being "pop" — and, for that matter, so did Adele, Mykki Ekko and Brandon Flowers, albeit differently — to say you like pop music has been rendered almost completely meaningless. And while saying that it hasn't always had its disparities would be ahistorical — to like Madonna is not the same as liking Cyndi Lauper, etc — weirdos became even more relevant this year. Sure, it seemed like "alt-pop" had its moment two years when Charli XCX released EP compendium True Romance, Sky Ferreira's wowing debut Night Time, My Time was finally released and the circular conversation about Lana Del Rey continued into oblivion. But 2015 saw pop, or at least its stars, go full-throttle into a bizarro world where it is probably going to stay for some time, lest Walk the Moon has anything to say about it.
There were three figures this year who all had a stronghold on crafting this weird-pop landscape, each coming from different reaches but all changing the way we look at the genre. Brooklyn singer Halsey's debut album Badlands should, technically, be considered an alternative album. For all intents and purposes, it is. Released by Astralwerks with simmering production by Norway's Lido, Badlands has no real brightness. It meditates on drug use, disheartening sexual relationships and the pains of being in love with an addict. These may not be particularly accessible topics to her demographic, which skews toward early to mid teens, but her availability to them on social media is what has changed her from the small club set to being able to sell out Madison Square Garden almost a year in advance.
No doubt her single 'New Americana' helped to find her positioned differently than most singers doing dank electro-pop, as well. Its chorus, "We're the new Americana / Raised on Biggie and Nirvana / High on legal marijuana," was both beloved and reviled. Seeing it without satire, it is truly obnoxious. But as Halsey noted in an interview with PAPER (which, full disclosure, I conducted), the references to The Notorious B.I.G. and grunge's preeminent poster boys were a winky way of talking about her being raised by a black father and a white mother. It is also a marker that people like Big and Kurt Cobain are on the cusp of becoming dorm poster icons, if they are not already. Those references are also a sign that young people are looking for something a little bit different than the glossiness that a Katy Perry, or previously Miley Cyrus, has to offer.
Cyrus is also a prismatic look at the stretching and changing of a pop star. If 'New Americana' is a reflection of the dorm room, then Miley is representative of what is actually goes on from freshman to sophomore year of college. While it seemed like she and Mike Will were going to maintain a fruitful collaborative relationship — remember when she throwing bows at Rae Sremmurd concerts and referring to Will as her best friend? — her other partner-in-crime, Wayne Coyne, became her true guardian angel this year and he helped her to let her freak flag fly. Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz is what happens when you get really into psychedelics, freeing the nipple and your roommate's LP collection (loaded with entries from The Flaming Lips). If Bangerz was Miley's heel turn from the Disney Channel, then Dead Petz is her finally declaring herself an art major, but still finding her exact medium. Still, the kids who grew up with Hannah Montana are getting older at the same time. To see Miley go from fresh-faced to properly Coachella-shackled is to, potentially, see their idol mirror their own experimental phase.
In many ways, Claire Boucher, bka Grimes is Miley's inverse. With her album Art Angels, she delved deeper into the shine that Cyrus backed away from. This is not to say that her 2012 album Visions was not replete with bright spots, but her work this year is far more indebted to her interest in Mariah Carey and her aspirations to write songs for Rihanna. When the demo track for the Rih-rejected 'Go' was unearthed, it was clear that Boucher was traipsing into new territory in her songwriting, but she operates with an artist's eye and not one that necessarily understands the machine. It is still her most radio-friendly song to-date, primarily for its EDM-informed hook, but it foretold the buoyancy of Angels. If pop music continues to morph and bend as it has been doing over the past five years, then Boucher is primed for stadium status. (And by the development of her live show, it is clear she already has the chops to engross such a large room.)
And perhaps the magnet pull between Miley and Grimes toward respectively spacier and glossier aesthetics is how pop's sound centers itself going forward. It is likely that the lines between indie and pop will continue to blur. Just look at Chairlift: They have gone from iPod commercial fame to an excellent, but largely ignored sophomore album Something to writing songs for Beyoncé. Their 2016 release has the potential to reach a much wider audience and one that is more prepared to be challenged. For now, it remains satiating to have no real absolute in pop music. But should "alt-pop" ever stop being so weird, then we might even get that Katy Perry album Anthony Gonzalez said he wanted to write.

Family: Officials won't say how Native American woman died
Photo Courtesy of Searching for Olivia Lone Bear via NBC News
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The official report on the cause of death of a Native American woman whose body was found in a submerged truck cannot be released to her family because it is part of an active criminal investigation, North Dakota's attorney general said.
Thirty-two-year-old Olivia Lone Bear disappeared from the Fort Berthold Reservation in 2017. The Newtown mother of five was found last August in the pickup truck pulled from Lake Sakakawea.
Olivia's brother, Matthew Lone Bear, said Monday that the family has been "left in the dark," the Bismarck Tribune reported. Matthew noted they have received no updates on the FBI and Bureau of Indian Affairs investigation since August.
Her father, Texx Lone Bear, has only received her death certificate, which lists her cause of death as "undetermined," the brother said.
The report of death usually becomes a public record after eight days, but Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem issued an opinion last week that the report is exempt from the state's open records law if deemed "active criminal intelligence and investigative information."
Jack McDonald, a media lawyer, maintains that a report of death should become public in a timely manner, regardless of whether it is part of an investigation. He equated the report to minutes of a government entity's meeting. If they are part of a criminal investigation, it's still considered public record.
"My only concern is that it allows law enforcement to take what are ordinarily public records and make them private just because they're using them to investigate," McDonald said. "I think it gives them too wide a latitude that's not needed."
Kevin Smith, a spokesman for the FBI in Minneapolis, declined to confirm if the report of death is being concealed because it could hamper the investigation.
"There is nothing to share at this time," Smith said in an email.
Matthew Lone Bear said his family may contact the North Dakota congressional delegation "to get confirmation" that the case is being actively investigated because they "feel like nothing is really happening."

THE SEMINOLES: EVERGLADES WARRIORS
I was certainly misinformed about the Seminole Indians of Florida. Given the trouble they gave the American army I had thought they were a major tribe with lots of members. Instead I found out they were a number of small bands from a variety of tribes who had gotten together to resist the invading and Americans and successfully fight them to a draw.
My first reality check was at the Museum of Florida History in Tallahassee. The Museum had eighteen sections each on a different aspect of Florida's history and the combination provides a good coverage of the major events in the states history. The first section on the Calusa Indians shows their life style and how they had been killed off by the Spanish and the diseases that they had brought to America.
In the early 1700s small bands of Creek Indians began making their way from Georgia and Alabama into Florida. Along the way these Indians joined with escaped slaves and refugees from other tribes to form a new group known as the Seminole.
A later section in the museum is given over to Seminole Wars in which the U.S. government attempted to get the Seminoles to move into lands west of the Mississippi River. It emphasizes the leadership skills of Seminole chiefs who led the resistance. In 1832 after the Treaty of Paynes Landing some left, but the others prepared for war. In 1835 the Seminole leader Osceola led a vastly outnumbered resistance of about 1,400 warriors against an American army of 9000 led by Andrew Jackson. The guerrilla tactics Osceola employed had a devastating effect against the U.S. forces. Our army was not equipped to deal with hit and run tactics. We cheated. When Osceola came under a flag of truce to negotiate he was arrested and died in jail a year later. For some reason his body was buried without his head.

Other war chiefs took up the battle and continued the war until 1842 at which time many Indians were moved to Creek lands west of the Mississippi. Others, however, retreated into the Everglades and the government gave up trying to conquer or eliminate them and left the fewer than 500 survivors in peace. Estimates are that it cost the government is excess of forty million dollars to fight the Seminoles, a huge amount of money at the time and probably the most expensive Indian war in our history.
The U.S. Army hunts for Seminole Indians hiding among the mangroves.
About 1,500 U.S. soldiers died in these wars and the Seminoles never surrendered and as a result call themselves the "Unconquered People."
Our next contact with the Seminole story was a week later at an Elderhostel in the Everglades when we were given lectures covering later developments in their history and taken on a tour of the Collier County Museum in the Everglades.
At the Collier County Museum in the Everglades
a small Seminole village has been recreated.
We learned that in 1855 after the third and final Seminole war about 300 Seminoles found refuge in the Everglades. The survivors developed a new culture built on the special features of the Everglades and Deep Cypress Swamp. Farms were built on the mounds the Calusa Indians had left behind. Over time they began to interact with the whites in the area. One of their money makers was to guide plume hunters (bird killers) into areas where there were still large numbers of wading birds whose feathers could be harvested for women's hats.
By the 1920s, the Seminole women began to sell their traditional craft products such as woodcarving, basket weaving, bead working and doll making. Men showed off their traditional skills such as alligator wrestling. Because of the money made from casinos fewer Seminole rely on selling crafts for income.
Deaconess Harriet Bedell in 1936 became the savior of the Miccosukee and Seminoles by getting the Brighton Reservation designated. Bedell was very interested in the Indians crafts and made arrangements with the Collier Corporation to sell Indian crafts. The Miccosukee Tribe adopted her and gave her the name Inkoshopie, woman who prays.
Picture taken at the Museum of the Everglades that also has a Seminole display.
About this time the Seminole cattle industry began which has made good money, and allowed them to expand into other areas. Since the 1930s they have gotten into the sale of duty-free tobacco, resort tourism. In 2006 they bought the Hard Rock Café chain of restaurants. In 1979 Seminoles opened the first casino on Indian land, a practice that has become a multibillion-dollar industry for tribes around the nation. Income from the casinos in recent years funded citrus groves, ecotourism and sugarcane fields.
The grounds of the Collier County Museum had some interesting displays. The most interesting to me were two Indian camps. One was a Calusa Indian structure and one a rebuilding of a Seminole Village. They lived in small cypress pole huts called chickees, with palm-thatched roofs and open sides.
We also visited the smaller Museum of the Everglades that also has displays on the Seminole Indians. Given time constraints we missed seeing what is probably the most complete museum about the tribe the AH-TAH-THI-KI MUSEUM.

Congratulations to the photo-essay contest winners! The authors of the winning essays printed below correctly identified the two brothers in the photograph in the Academy of Music lobby as George and Ira Gershwin.
Claire Connelly, age 9; Manny Hernandez, age 11; Alicia Mose, age 11; and Sian Carr, age 14 will each win an Academy of Music hooded sweatshirt.
George and Ira Gershwin were two 20th-century composers who helped bring ragtime, blues, and jazz music into the spotlights in America.
Ira Gershwin was born December 6, 1896. His brother George followed on September 26, 1898. They both lived in Brooklyn, New York.
As a child, George Gershwin was mostly interested in being the roller-skating champion in his neighborhood, and he didn't care much for music until he was a teenager. Then he heard a fellow student, Max Rosen, play his violin. George was fascinated with the music, and he and Max became good friends.
When Ira was a teenager, his parents managed to buy him a piano so that he could take lessons. George and Ira began playing popular tunes and making their own melodies.
Later on in life, George studied composition with Rubin Goldmark. Soon George and Ira were composing their own compositions–George wrote the tunes, and Ira wrote the lyrics. They became a great song-writing team. They were so talented that at one time George had a yearly income of $100,000!
Before long they were writing the popular music that many of us are familiar with today, such as "Swanee" (selling millions of copies) and "Rhapsody in Blue" (receiving a thunderous standing ovation after its first performance). "Someone to Watch Over Me", "I Got Rhythm", and "Strike Up the Band" were soon written for Hollywood and Broadway. The musical Of Thee I Sing was the first to win the Pulitzer Prize in drama.
Some more of their serious works were Piano Concerto in F, An American in Paris, Preludes for Piano, and the opera Porgy and Bess. This opera was first performed in 1935, and it has become very popular all across America.
Soon after the first season of Porgy and Bess, George became ill. He died at the early age of 39 of a brain hemorrhage in 1937. After his brother's death, Ira retired from songwriting for a little while, but he began writing again in 1941. He wrote Lady in the Dark with Kurt Weill, which was a success, but his last two shows were failures: The Firebrand of Florence and Park Avenue. He lived to see another Gershwin hit, though: My One and Only.
Ira Gershwin was often in his brother's shadow, but after his death in 1983, he was recognized as one of the greatest American lyricists ever. He had lived to be 87 years old.
George and Ira Gershwin were truly talented in writing ragtime, blues, and jazz. They gave the music jazzy beats that reflected the spirit of America, and they put in harmonic and melodic qualities that very few had tried to add in before. Musicians across the surface of the earth were inspired by their unique ability to create a serious musical art out of American popular music. The Gershwin brothers also had the talent to combine the classical style of music with modern-day jazz and blues. Many of the musicians of today might not have been playing jazz, blues, or ragtime in the correct way with the right kind of beat if they had not played "Swanee", "Rhapsody in Blue", or other Gershwin pieces.
Gershwin music is truly amazing. Take a deep breath, look at the music, begin to play, and let your fingers fly.
The two gentlemen in the picture are George and Ira Gershwin. Isereal Gershovitz (Ira Gershwin) was born December sixth in 1896. Jacob Gershovitz (George Gershwin) was born September 26, 1898. They both were born in New York. George Gershwin passed away from a brain tumor in 1937 in Los Angeles, California. Ira Gershwin passed away peacefully in 1983 in Beverly Hills, California.
George and Ira Gershwin are important to music because they wrote many great songs. They are known for writing songs on their own and together. Their music was in the style of Jazz and was created for Broadway and Hollywood. They are also well known for their funny musical songs. Also, their work helped make the theater more popular. Musicians today still enjoy their music.
The two men in question are the Gershwin brothers, George (September 26, 1898 – July 11, 1937), and Ira (December 6, 1896 – August 17, 1983).
They both were born in New York, in some part of New York City, but later moved around to their tastes. George went to Paris for a short period of time, but then returned to the United States. He traveled around, performing music, or having others do so, until one day, after suffering from a type of brain cancer, collapsed in Hollywood, dying a short while later.
Ira stayed longer in the United States. Unlike his brother, he completed high school, afterward working as a cashier at his father's store. He remained in the United States for just about all of his life, following where his music could be sold. He too died in California, but in Beverly Hills.
The brothers did work together at one point in time, each with very different talents. George was the composer. He wrote many pieces for piano, as well as for orchestra. Some of his most famous pieces were: Rhapsody in Blue (Piano, Orchestra), An American in Paris, and his most ambitious piece, Porgy and Bess.
Ira however was a lyricist, and rather a brilliant one at that. He got a later start to his music career than his brother, but succeeded just as much as his brother, with the inescapable failures along the way. Ira wrote multiple Broadway shows, including songs such as I Got Rhythm, Embraceable You, The man I Love, and Someone to Watch Over Me. Together with his brother, he wrote the Opera, Porgy and Bess.
I suppose what I'm getting at is that the Gershwin Brothers were both wonderfully talented people who provided a huge amount of music for later generations, many of this not classical, but more of a jazz genre. They worked together and separately, bringing both of the talents together for wonderful masterpieces, and then with others, spreading the style around.
George Gershwin was an American composer whose works of art are still remembered today. He was born in 1898 in New York City to immigrant parents from Russian and had had three siblings. He was first interested in music at age six when he listened to a recording of piano music. At a young age, George's parent's brought a piano into the house for his older brother Ira. At the age of 9 or 10 George heard a violinist play and thought that he wanted to play an instrument too. Through his natural musical talent, George went from poverty to riches.
Gershwin grew up in a poor part of New York City with other immigrants. This was a time in American when many people were moving to American to be relieved of the poverty of their home country. Instead of staying inside, like his older brother Ira, George liked to get into fighting competitions with other boys. Ira is pictured with George in the picture. One time George got hit so hard that he had a scar on the top of his forehead for his whole life. After this fight, George started to play on his friend's piano rather that spend his time roughhousing with the other boys of the neighborhood. Soon George wanted to spend all of his spare time playing the piano and dreamed of a life as a musician. When George's parents found out about his natural talents, they found a very good teacher named Charles Hambitzer. Mr. Hambitzer taught George the proper way to play. George started taking lessons at the age of 12 and he caught on quickly.
At the age of 15 George left school, even though this worried his mother, because he wanted to find a job as a musician. A man named Remick gave George a job in Tim Pan Alley to play twentieth century style music to customers making $15 a week. A famous dancer named Fred Astaire would regularly listen to music in Tim Pan Alley and especially like Gershwin's music. Eventually Gershwin and Astaire became good friends. In George's spare time he composed his own music and played it in Tim Pan Alley. Gershwin's first published song was not a great hit and was not well liked, but later that same year Sigmund Romberg used another one of Gershwin's songs in one of his popular shows. After this time Geroge's fame grew across the country. George's first finished and published musical score was called La, La, Lucille. This musical was a big hit. One of his most popular pieces was a song called Rhapsody in Blue.
After World War I America fell into the Great Depression. Gershwin was not personally affected by this because his popularity was growing. He wrote cheery songs and he tried to make people forget theri troubles for awhile. George wanted to spice things up a little bit, so he composed short jazz operas which which became the next type of American music. George teamed up with a man named Paul Whiteman and together they composed a jazz opera called Blue Monday. By writing more lively tumes George inspired future composers.
When George was not in his office, he liked to play many sports and other activities. His favorite sport was golf. One time he hit the ball through a window. Another thing George liked to do was deep sea diving. Gershwin liked the outdoors and remained fit. When the weather was bad, he liked to paint portraits of his friends.
In the last 6 months of his life in 1937, his health went bad quickly. George was playing the piano at a concert February 1937 when all the sudden he blacked out. Doctors examined him but they could not find anything. He started having bad headaches. On July 9th, he fell into a coma. Gershwin died two days later on July 11 from a brain tumor. The new of his death shocked and saddened the public for many years.
My wife & I listened live from our home in the village of Outwell, Norfolk, England & we would like to thank all concerned for an incredible performance, so very professional. Isn't it amazing that Daphne & I could sit here in England listening to the live concert in Appleton. We listened in to the recorded Pre-Concert too & it was nice to hear a couple of English Folk Songs, I Had a Little Nut Tree & She Shall Have Music. We learned them at school a lonnnnnnnnnng time ago. Our friend's daughter, Mackenzie Harrmann, was performing in Bel Canto which was the reason we had 'tuned in.'

Q: How to get xml nodes count in camel I want to get the count of xml nodes present in the file with specific tags in camel exchange or camel route.
My xml tags are like this:
<parent>
  <child>
    <data>A</data>
  </child>
  <child>
    <data>B</data>
  </child>
  <child>
    <data>C</data>
    <child>
       <data>C1</data>
    </child>
    <child>
       <data>C2</data>
    </child>
  </child>
</parent>

I want to count the <child> tags and it should return 5 for this.
Currently, I am getting size using Exchange but it is giving output as 3.
exchange.getIn().getBody(XmlTreesType.class).getParentTree().getChildNode().size();

A: This highly depends on your actual use case.
To extract the count, you could use the XPath language which allows you to extract information from XML easily.
To extract the count of all <child> nodes within your <parent> you could use the following:
count(/parent//child)

XPath expression.
To extract this value and store it in a header variable would look like this:
.from()
  .setHeader("childCountHeader", xpath("count(/parent//child)", Integer.class));

Another typical use case in the camel Java DSL would be along the following, in order to directly route based on the count:
from()
  .choice().xpath("count(/parent//child)>5")
  //do something
  .otherwise()
  //do something else
  .end();

If you want to use XPath inside vanilla java, as in a camel processor. You can build up an XPath processor as described in this answer.

A nurse at the Cleveland Clinic launched the initiative after mothers asked to delay their newborns' baths to increase their ability to take to nursing.
Giving a newborn a bath right after birth has been the norm for most hospitals for decades. But it turns out that waiting several hours may help promote breastfeeding, according to results from the Cleveland Clinic, which took its cues from new mothers.
A study published Monday in the Journal for Obstetrics, Gynecologic, and Neonatal Nursing finds that delaying baby's first bath by about 12 hours increased the rate of breastfeeding exclusively while in the hospital, which in turn increases the likelihood that a baby will receive breast milk at home. Breastfeeding is known to boost children's health over their lifetimes; for mothers, it reduces the first of breast and ovarian cancer and postpartum depression.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that breastfeeding exclusively until babies are 6 months old, with other foods added to the diet until children reach 12 months. However, data from the CDC show that only about a quarter of mothers are able to do this, and about 57% of babies are breastfed through the sixth month. Still, this is an improvement from the mid-1900s, when commercial infant formula manufacturers marketed aggressively to mothers in the United States, and breastfeeding declined to all-time lows by the 1970s.
But when DiCioccio looked into these reports, she found almost no research on the topic, so she decided to do one herself.
Almost 1000 pairs of healthy mothers and newborns took part in the study; 448 babies were bathed shortly after birth in January and February 2016, and 548 had delayed baths in July and August 2016. The findings showed exclusive breastfeeding rates increased from 59.8% before the intervention to 68.2% after the delayed baths. The newborns with the delayed baths were more likely to have a discharge plan that included getting breast milk at home.
The mothers' theory about the similar smell making it easier for babies to figure out nursing is just one reason the delayed bath helps, DiCioccio said. Holding off on the bath increases skin-to-skin contact between mother, which has many benefits and is considered standard of care, according to the article. Babies with delayed baths also stayed warm. "They weren't as cold as the babies who were bathed sooner after birth, so they may not have been as tired trying to nurse," she said.
Her findings led to a change in hospital policy—unless the mother objects, newborn baths are delayed at least 12 hours. In all cases, DiCioccio's hospital urges new mothers to wait at least 2 hours, and Cleveland Clinic is trying to enact the change across its other hospitals.
In time, DiCioccio hopes that the practice will become the norm everywhere. Difficulty getting an infant to latch early on can discourage a mother from working through early challenges with breastfeeding, given the many other barriers women face. A 2011 call to action by the US Surgeon General found that many Americans still believed that bottle feeding was the "normal" way for infants to be fed; 45% believed that a nursing mother would be significantly inconvenienced by breastfeeding.
DiCioccio said more work is needed to learn what happens to mothers and infants after they go home. "Future research is needed to learn more about exclusive breastfeeding after hospital discharge when mothers no longer have the support provided during the hospital stay," the article concludes.

Aug. 15 - U.S. President Barack Obama speaks out against the violence in Egypt, condemning a military crackdown there and saying the United States had canceled joint military exercises scheduled for next month. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) U.S. President Barack Obama spoke out on Thursday against the violence in Egypt, condemning a military crackdown there and saying the United States had canceled joint military exercises scheduled for next month. "The United States strongly condemns the steps that have been taken by Egypt's interim government and security forces," Obama said from his vacation home on the Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard. "We deplore violence against civilians. We support universal rights essential to human dignity, including the right to peaceful protest," he said.


Students participate in mock trial and moot court competitions all over the country. From high school to law school, the pressure and nerves ramp up as teams prepare witnesses, finalize arguments, polish their briefs, and seek to advance from local to national level competitions. This also means that lawyers will have plenty of opportunities right around the corner to donate their time.
The various advocacy competitions going on in our neighborhoods are not only great learning opportunities for all students alike, but also an option for fellow lawyers to give back to their communities and to help shape the lawyers of tomorrow. Recently, I participated in two very different advocacy competitions: I scored the Barristers 2011 Mock Trial Competition and volunteered as a presiding judge for the regional ABA NAAC Moot Court Competition here in San Francisco.

After an 18-month labor dispute, Long Island College Hospital and its nurses' union have agreed on a new contract. The 600 nurses voted to ratify the deal late last week.
Elaine Charpentier, a lead negotiator for the union, the New York State Nurses Association, characterized the contract as a compromise. It offers the nurses better job security and the hospital some givebacks.
''The economics are sparse,'' said Ms. Charpentier, referring to the compensation the nurses will receive. ''But with this contract, the nurses worked with the hospital to help it out financially, and the hospital did its part to insure their jobs.'' For example, the new contract will minimize the hospital's power to lay off nurses, allowing no more than 15 dismissals between now and the contract's expiration in June 2000.
According to Ms. Charpentier, the hospital had planned to lay off as many 180 nurses in the future.
But the contract also includes concessions by the nurses, such as suspending for two years their annual $900 length-of-service, or step, salary increase. That suspension will save the hospital -- and cost the nurses -- an estimated $1.5 million.
The contract, much of which is retroactive to January 1997, includes a variety of other provisions, such as early-retirement incentives for nurses with 20 years of experience.
The new agreement came about shortly after Alvin Blyer, the regional director of the National Labor Relations Board, issued a complaint that the hospital had negotiated in bad faith by withholding cost-cutting information during contract talks. The hospital has denied the claims in the complaint, issued June 4. But on Friday, Mr. Blyer said he had signed off on a request by the nurses' union to withdraw the complaint, averting a potentially acrimonious and costly hearing on it in August.

California Cannabis Company Denied Deductions by the Tax Court
By Benjamin Aspir, CPA, MST
On May 4, 2020, the U.S. Tax Court published its opinion, Richmond Patients Group, T.C. Memo. 2020-52, holding that Richmond Patients Group ("Richmond") was subject to IRC Sec. 280E as a reseller and not a producer. In 2010, Richmond obtained a license to operate a state legal medical marijuana dispensary under California law; it did not provide any therapeutic or other services.
The IRS had previously determined that Richmond was subject to the deduction limitations of IRC Sec. 280E, assessing a deficiency of $1.59 million and imposing an accuracy-related penalty of approximately $318,000.
IRC Sec. 280E Background
Generally, the Internal Revenue Code allows a business to deduct all of its "ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business," but there are exceptions. For the cannabis industry, the primary exception is IRC Sec. 280E.
In 1982, Congress enacted IRC Sec. 280E. With the exception of direct cost of goods sold ("COGS"), IRC Sec. 280E denies federal tax deductions and credits from gross income if a taxpayer is engaged in the business of the manufacture, distribution or sale of certain controlled substances classified as a Schedule I or Schedule II drug pursuant to the 1970 Controlled Substances Act.
IRC Sec. 280E states: "No deduction or credit shall be allowed for any amount paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business if such trade or business (or the activities which comprise such trade or business) consists of trafficking in controlled substances (within the meaning of Schedule I and II of the Controlled Substances Act) that are prohibited by federal law or the law of any state in which such trade or business is conducted."
Cannabis is considered a Schedule I drug. Therefore, any sales activity is considered trafficking under federal law. IRC Sec. 280E prevents cannabis businesses from enjoying the benefit of otherwise ordinary business deductions, thereby dramatically increasing the company's effective tax rate.
Key Rulings from Richmond Patients Group
The Tax Court concluded that Richmond was a reseller for purposes of IRC Sec. 471, primarily from the fact that Richmond purchased bulk cannabis grown by its members for resale. No improvements were made to the cannabis from the time it was purchased to the time it was sold. Therefore, Richmond was not allowed to deduct additional indirect costs included in COGS for the tax years at issue.
Richmond had previously changed its method of accounting from period costs to inventory costs. The objective of this change was to shift additional expenses into COGS, which are allowable deductions under IRC Sec. 280E. The Tax Court denied the accounting method change as well since Richmond was deemed to be a reseller and did not request permission from the IRS to change its accounting method. Therefore, Richmond did not have an acceptable reason to be granted the accounting method change.
Takeaways from Richmond Patients Group
Yet another loss for the cannabis industry – The Tax Court opinion has again denied deductions in the case of a cannabis dispensary operating legally under state law, reinforcing IRC Sec. 280E and building upon case law precedent set by the Harborside Tax Court opinion and Northern California Small Business Assistants Inc.
IRC Sec. 471 costs are not impacted by IRC Sec. 280E – Generally, direct COGS (IRC Sec. 471 costs) are included as a reduction in determining "gross income" and are not impacted by IRC Sec. 280E limitations. The Tax Court previously stated in Harborside that only IRC Sec. 471 expenses could be applied to calculate inventory costs for purposes of IRC Sec. 280E. The Tax Court has held that the uniform capitalization rules of IRC Sec. 263A, which are broader in scope than those of IRC Sec. 471, do not apply to cannabis businesses.
Retail cannabis dispensaries, such as Harborside and Richmond, are essentially only able to include the purchase price of inventory and freight costs in COGS under IRC Sec. 471. Producers, on the other hand, may still be able to capitalize certain indirect production costs into inventory under IRC Sec. 471. Specifically, producers may capitalize repair and maintenance expenses, utilities, rent, indirect labor and production supervisory wages, indirect materials and supplies, tools and equipment not capitalized, and cost of quality control and inspection.
Producers should review the extent to which they may capitalize certain costs under IRC Sec. 471, if they do so for financial reporting purposes:
Depreciation reported in financial reports and cost depletion.
Certain employee benefits.
Costs attributable to rework labor, scrap and spoilage.
Administrative costs of production.
Salaries paid to officers for services performed incidental to and necessary for production or manufacturing operations or processes.
Hiring a professional to prepare a tax return does not absolve a taxpayer from IRS penalties – Generally, accuracy-related penalties can be waived if a taxpayer can prove reasonable cause and good faith. Richmond had contended that it should not have been assessed the penalty since there was a lack of guidance regarding IRC Sec. 280E and that they reasonably relied on professional advice from their accountant. The Tax Court disagreed with Richmond and stated there was relevant authority directly against Richmond's position based on previous case law. Additionally, the Tax Court held that Richmond provided no evidence that it relied on its accountant for advice regarding IRC Secs. 280E, 471, and 263A.

Yellow Summer Solstice Food | Antonine B.
I have been intrigued and studying the vibration of food since 1998 when I was diagnosed with "stress" for falling asleep while driving my children in our Jeep. In my healing journey, one of the books I discovered was Eat Right 4 Your Type*. In it I learned that because of my blood type, my body was negatively reacting to something I had eaten. Luckily I cured myself and my children are now enjoying their 20's.
The color associated with the Sun and Manipura (your third Chakra) is yellow. So in celebration of Summer Solstice, here are yellow foods that are highly beneficial for each blood type according to Eat Right 4 Your Type*. A side note here – if your allergic to a listed food, by all means abstain.

Recap: Speed Mentoring, Brought to You by Workforce Planning!
The Speed Mentoring Event on Monday, September 25th was nothing short of uplifting and motivating. Our Workforce Planning Team did an outstanding job of setting up the logistics for this event so that different mentors and mentees within the program "speed mentored" one another, "speed dating" style.
This event was set up in our corporate offices in both Savannah, GA and Carrollton, TX. In the first leg of the event, mentees spoke virtually via video chat with mentors in a "speed dating" type of environment. The overall goal was for the mentee to get a quick snippet of mentoring advice from the mentor in order to continue in the quest of growing within their career. I believe the event was just as rewarding for the mentor to be able to give great advice and information on how their careers have progressed within and outside of the Company up until this point.
The Workforce Planning Team provided the mentees with some standard questions that could help them break the ice in a new conversation. As a mentee myself, this was extremely helpful because it led to very informative conversations within the three-minute window given. I was, surprisingly, able to have plenty of takeaways from this short amount of time. When the three minutes were up, we moved to the next available laptop and started conversing with the next mentor. We spoke virtually with about 8-10 mentors before we set up for the second leg of the event.
After a brief refresher, the event shifted into In-Person Speed Mentoring. While the three-minute window was still in effect, designated mentors within the program joined both sites to speak with the mentees in-person. It was a different atmosphere which brought an exciting element to the session. No longer was there the physical barrier of a computer screen between the mentee and mentor.
Again, because I was a mentee, I was very eager to talk with our mentors, whom I do not have much face time with on a day-to-day basis. These conversations were beyond valuable to my continued growth within the Company. The majority of the mentors I spoke with had at least four years of experience with the Company, held Director-level positions and above, and have been essential employees to the continued success of TMX Finance®. Besides the great advice I was given in each snippet from the mentors, I felt that I was developing as an employee just within those three-minute conversations.
All in all, this event was so fantastic for both mentees and mentors. I encourage anyone who is thinking about joining the TEAM Up Mentor Program to enroll, even for exposure to this event alone! I am so grateful I work for an organization that continues to raise the bar for its team members and is #TalentObsessed and invested in our growth and development!

Kuchen: A Dessert With History
Kuchen is German for "cake," but that doesn't really hint at its rich, addictive goodness. It's more like a thick custard poured into a crust of sweet dough. It's traditionally cut in triangular wedges, like pie.
In Germany, an afternoon break for coffee, cake and conversation was (and still is) a tradition. When German speakers immigrated to the U.S., many took the afternoon kaffeeklatsch with them. Kuchen — and the conversation it sparked — was an important link to home. It kept people connected to their culture, in the same way that German church services and German newspapers kept them connected to their language.
German-speaking groups, including those from the Rhineland and the Germans from Russia (who immigrated from what's now Russia and Ukraine) built tight knit communities all over America, including in my adopted home state of North Dakota. North Dakota actually has one of the largest German from Russia communities in the nation and German is still identified as the most common ethnic group in the state.
Even though having an ancestor of German descent was (and still is) really common, German speakers found themselves the targets of suspicion and discrimination during World War I and World War II. Even those who had been in the United States for generations, lifelong American citizens and veterans who had fought for their country (or had relatives who had) still found themselves viewed with hostility by their long time neighbors. Speaking German was frowned upon and even made illegal in North Dakota.
Sadly, even the quickest scan of newspaper articles from the past reveals that prejudice against immigrants and those who proudly retain elements of a minority language or culture isn't a new thing. It's actually remarkably consistent. The same silly arguments against "those people" show up decade after decade, although the targeted community shifts to serve as a scapegoat for whatever the majority of people seem to be most afraid of.
Close-knit groups often keep their traditions in the community (especially when they've been persecuted), which explain why an average American might have no idea what kuchen is — even if they're of German descent and even if they, like me, live just hours away from regions where kuchen is so ubiquitous that you can find it in gas stations. It's one of those things that is often hidden in plain sight.
Whether you like it creamy, savory or sweet — kuchen (pronounced "coo-gen" in North Dakota, which sounds pretty different than my German language app's pronunciation), can be just about anything you want it to be. Some old timers like it savory, with rich dry cottage cheese (kasekuchen), sauerkraut or onions. Prune, dried apricot and raisin are also hearty, traditional kuchen varieties.
Kuchen can also be delicate, topped with streusel or slivered almonds. The cinnamon and sugar topped wedding kuchen has the light, creamy appeal of crème brûlée, albeit without the burnt sugar.
Hearty, easily accessible fruits like rhubarb, peach, apple and blueberry show up on restaurant menus most often. But you can also find sweet options like chocolate chip.
My favorite chocolate chip kuchen is from Grandma's Kuchen in Ashley, North Dakota, deep in the heart of Germans from Russia County. Grandma's Kuchen is a North Dakota State Fair champion and Lois Vander Wal makes 18 different kuchen flavors, from classic cottage cheese to decadent chocolate varieties. I found Lois' kuchen after readers in the know directed me to the freezer section of the Ampride convenience store in Lawrence Welk's hometown of Strasburg, North Dakota. (You guys know everything!)
Grandma's Kuchen is my pick for the best kuchen crust in North Dakota. (I know that sounds weird, but there is a big difference between crusts!) It's dense and sweet and I'd eat it all by itself. (Okay, that might be weird.)
While you're in the neighborhood, check out the kuchen at Ashley Super Valu. It's a top-secret recipe and they make a dozen different flavors, including peach and blueberry. If you want to dive deeper into the whole Germans from Russia experience, visit the meat section. They sell traditional, house-made sausage too.
LaVonne's Cheesebutton Factory Plus in Bismarck offers 15 kuchen flavors, including raisin, pear and apple and a particularly good strawberry rhubarb, at grocery stores, gas stations (yep, for real) and summer events across North Dakota. If you like a super creamy, custard-y kuchen, this is a good choice for you.
It gets a little tricker to find kuchen outside of the Germans from Russia triangle in south-central North Dakota, but it can be done. You just have to know where to look.
Karen Schwandt's grandmother's recipe is the heart of Karen's Kuchens, located in Larimore. She offers a mindboggling 68 kuchen flavors, from local favorites like juneberry kuchen to more exotic options tropical pineapple and toasted coconut. Everything I've tried has been very good. And Karen is an exceptionally sweet lady.
You can find her kuchen at grocery stores across North Dakota year round and at the Town Square Farmers Market in Grand Forks during the summer. Best of all, you can order Karen's Kuchens online!
You can also find kuchen on the menu at Charlie's Main Street Cafe, a cute little hometown place in Minot, North Dakota that I've written about here before. The peach and the blueberry (both pictured) are excellent. (That's regular pie on the right.)
If you want to make kuchen at home, I recommend this recipe from A Prairie Californian (a.k.a. Jenny Dewey Rohrich). She married into a family of Germans from Russia and this is her mother-in-law's recipe, so you know it's legit.
What about you? Have you ever tried kuchen? Why or why not?
What's your favorite kuchen flavor? Where do you find the best kuchen in the world? What's your favorite food-based tradition? How do people in your community connect over food?

British Airways pilots vote to strike in pay dispute

LONDON (AP) — British Airways pilots voted overwhelmingly to take strike action amid a long-running dispute over pay, their union said Monday.
The British Airlines Pilots Association accused the airline of making massive profits on the back of sacrifices made during hard times. No potential dates have been set for industrial action, and the union said it remained hopeful the dispute could be resolved.
The association says pilots backed industrial action by more than 9-1 on a turnout of 90%.
"We do not wish to inconvenience our customers, which is why we have tried to resolve this matter through negotiation starting last November – it is BA who has regrettably chosen to drag this out into the summer months," union leader Brian Strutton said.
The airline is seeking an injunction Tuesday in the High Court to halt industrial action. It said its offer was worth 11.5% over three years.
"We are very disappointed that BALPA, the pilots' union, has chosen to threaten the travel plans of thousands of our customers, over the summer holidays, with possible strike action," the airline said in a statement.? "We remain open to working with BALPA to reach an agreement."
