With respect to any work developed, created, or produced in the course of or pursuant to the performance of Services under this Agreement, or derivatives of or modifications to Materials created by or for Seller (collectively, "Work Product"), Seller hereby assigns to OEM title to any and all IPR worldwide in all Work Product, and warrants that all Work Product and Products shall not infringe or misappropriate any third-party IPR. Seller shall require that all contractors and vendors assign their IPR in Work Product consistent with OEM's rights under this Section, and agrees to execute all papers and documents to effect this assignment, to assist OEM with the protection, maintenance and enforcement of OEM's rights under this Section, and to take other actions as may be reasonably requested by OEM. If any of the Work Product or Products fail to conform to the foregoing warranties, Seller shall, at OEM's option, replace or modify the Work Product or Products in a manner reasonably satisfactory to OEM to make them non-infringing, or procure for OEM (and its Customer, if applicable) the right to use the Work Product or Products at no additional cost. OEM grants to Seller the limited right to use OEM Confidential Information, and OEM and Customer IPR incorporated into the Materials and the Work Product, solely to perform Seller's obligations under this Agreement.
Each party and its affiliates ("Receiving Party") shall hold in confidence and not disclose or make the other party's ("Disclosing Party") Confidential Information available to anyone, other than to its own employees, agents, contractors, and vendors having a need to know for the applicable PO.
"Confidential Information" includes, without limitation, the following, information that has been prior to the execution of this Agreement or may hereafter be disclosed to Receiving Party by Disclosing Party, whether written, oral, visual, schematic, pictorial, electronic, audio tapes, video tapes, computer discs, machines, prototypes, designs, specifications, articles of manufacture, drawings, human or machine readable documents, or otherwise, and whether or not marked or otherwise identified as confidential: information relating to actual or potential customers or suppliers; know-how, techniques, methods, technical information, flow charts, software programs, software libraries, data and databases, formulae, compositions, research and development plans or information, test results, product designs, models, prototypes, specifications, roadmaps, processes, and procedures; manufacturing designs, bills of material, know-how, techniques, methods, technical information, flow charts, software programs, software libraries, data and databases, specifications, processes, and procedures; accounting, finance or tax information, pricing information, cost systems, pending business transactions; marketing plans, business plans, strategies, forecasts, budgets, pricing, projections; any information relating to corporate and/or operational structure, personnel, salaries, and qualifications of employees; lists of customers and potential customers; product procurement leads and customer leads; and financial, confidential and proprietary information of customers, suppliers, and other third parties received by Disclosing Party; all other non-public information relating to the Disclosing Party's Business; and all derivative works and improvements to the foregoing. Disclosing Party retains the right to determine, in its sole discretion, what information it wishes to make available to Receiving Party, and Disclosing Party makes no representation or warranty (express or implied) concerning the completeness or accuracy of the Confidential Information, except for Seller's warranties relating to Products and Work Product under this Agreement. The parties specifically agree that "OEM Confidential Information" shall include, without limitation, the OEM Contacts, the Materials, the Work Product, Specifications, the identity and location of Customers, Customer particular needs, requirements and specifications, and any information regarding Customer contract terms, prices, fees, financing arrangements, forecasts, projections or business. Confidential Information shall not include any of the following: (i) such information in the public domain at the time of the disclosure, or subsequently comes within the public domain, other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by Receiving Party, its affiliates, or their respective representatives; (ii) such information which was in the possession of Receiving Party at the time of disclosure that may be demonstrated by business records of Receiving Party and was not acquired, directly or indirectly, from Disclosing Party; (iii) such information which Receiving Party acquired after the time of disclosure from a third party who did not require Receiving Party to hold the same in confidence and who did not acquire such technical information from Disclosing Party; or (iv) such information is approved for release by prior written authorization of Disclosing Party.
Advise Disclosing Party in writing (within three (3) business days) in the event Receiving Party becomes aware of any misappropriation or misuse of any Confidential Information by any Person, and provide reasonable assistance to Disclosing Party in any proceeding or related lawsuits.
If Receiving Party, its affiliates, or any of their employees, agents, contractors and/or vendors are requested or required by law, regulation, or legal process to disclose any of Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, Receiving Party shall provide Disclosing Party reasonable prior written notice of any such request or requirement so that Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. Receiving Party shall use its best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of Disclosing Party's Confidential Information in such event, including without limitation, by cooperating with Disclosing Party to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance of confidential treatment. Upon the earlier of termination of this Agreement or request of Disclosing Party, Receiving Party shall promptly return Disclosing Party's Confidential Information and provide certification to Disclosing Party that all such Confidential Information has been returned. The terms in this Section and of these T&Cs shall supersede the terms of any and all prior non-disclosure agreements executed by the parties.
Each party agrees that if it should violate or threaten to violate the terms of this Section, the other party will be irreparably harmed and will have no adequate remedy at law. Each party therefore agrees that the non-breaching party is entitled to seek and obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and a judgment of permanent injunctive relief against it to prevent any violations or threatened violations of its obligations, without any requirement of a bond. Pursuing such remedies in no way limits a party's right to pursue all other remedies at law and in equity.
ORDERS; PRICES; PAYMENTS; RECORDS. Time is of the essence regarding Seller's fulfillment of OEM's PO. All invoices, PO acknowledgements, packing slips, packages, and other correspondence shall include the applicable PO number.

All payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars and the payment terms shall be as set forth on the applicable PO. No cancellation charges shall be owed for Standard Products. In the event that OEM requests the cancellation of a PO for Custom Products, OEM and Seller may agree in writing regarding appropriate cancellation charges, based on the actual time and materials incurred by Seller in manufacturing the Products ordered in the applicable PO prior to the date the PO is cancelled, at Seller's then-current hourly rates and for Seller's out-of-pocket costs (without markup) only for any specialized materials that cannot be reused by Seller for other customers ("Cancellation Charge"). In addition to other rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, at law or in equity, if Seller breaches any provision of this Agreement, or if any person or entity asserts a claim or lien against OEM, its Customer, or their property or facilities relating to Seller's breach of this Agreement, OEM shall have the right to withhold from payments due or to become due amounts sufficient to cover all claims, losses, damages and expenses, until Seller's breach has been cured or the claim or lien has been released, discharged, or terminated to OEM's satisfaction. All communication between OEM and Seller relating to OEM's purchase shall be between OEM's designated purchasing representative and Seller's authorized representative. Seller will not be eligible for compensation from OEM for unauthorized activities. OEM shall have the right to correct clerical errors or omissions in POs and Specifications. Upon the earlier of termination of the applicable PO or this Agreement, or request of OEM, Seller shall promptly return all property owned by OEM or its Customers to OEM, and shall provide certification to the OEM that all such property has been returned. Seller shall keep records of all POs and related documents under this Agreement for 3 years following completion of the applicable PO, including at a minimum model number, quantity, price, date of sale and ship-to address for each Product sold. Upon OEM's written request, Seller will provide access to Seller's records for audit by OEM. If an audit discloses any overcharges, Seller will promptly, at OEM's option, either pay the overage to OEM, or credit the overage against amounts owed by OEM to Seller. In either case, Seller shall bear the costs of such audit.

If no shipping method is set forth in the applicable PO, Seller shall use a shipping method that is suitable for the type of Products or Work Product shipped.

Seller acknowledges that OEM relies on the timeliness of Seller's Products and Services and Work Product for OEM's timely completion of products and services for OEM's Customers. If Products or Work Product do not arrive by the delivery date set forth in the PO or as otherwise agreed in writing ("Delivery Date"), and Seller fails to communicate late delivery information before such Delivery Date, OEM may take either or both of the following actions: (i) the applicable PO may be canceled by OEM without payment of any Cancellation Charge; and (ii) OEM may return the applicable Products and/or Work Product to Seller at Seller's expense. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable PO, delivery terms shall be ExW (Ex Works) to the "Ship To" location in the applicable PO (INCOTERMS 2010). Title shall transfer to OEM at the ExW point after unloading. Seller shall pay all costs of transportation, including without limitation all insurance costs, import duties, and shipping costs, until delivery to the applicable "Ship To" location.
INSPECTIONS; ACCEPTANCE. Prior to delivery, Seller must inspect all Products and Work Product for conformity with all Specifications and the applicable PO.

Rejected Products and/or Work Product may be returned to Seller at Seller's expense and risk.

Seller, its affiliates, and their owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and vendors shall comply with all applicable laws, codes, rules, regulations and ordinances, including without limitation those restricting the use of child, involuntary, and forced labor, and applicable industry codes and standards ("Legal and Industry Requirements"), including without limitation, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and Foreign Assets Control Regulations ("Export Laws").

Interactive Firearm Training
August 7, 2008 - 6:05PM
LYTLE CREEK — I guess you could say that I enjoy trying different things. I've been skydiving, bungie jumping and I love to do some racing in my Mustang. So when the opportunity arose to learn some combat-firearm techniques, I jumped at the chance.
Early one Saturday morning, Sarah Alvarado, the photographer, and I made our way to Lytle Creek to take a beginners' course on how to handle a firearm through Top Gun Training Centre.
Neither of us had ever handled a gun, unless - do bb guns count? No, I don't think so. So when I was handed a .45 caliber gun, I was warned it may kick a little. Thanks for the warning, guys.
The course was great. One of the first things we were taught by instructor, Mike Zealy, was safety. Never point the gun at anything you weren't willing to destroy; we had to remember to keep the mouse out of the house and always treat a gun as if it were loaded.
What really impressed me were the techniques they taught. We were not learning how to shoot a gun during controlled situations, we were learning what to do in real-life situations.
We learned how to fire a gun with one hand in the event that our dominant hand was wounded. If we needed to get down, we were taught how to fire from a kneeling position. We also were schooled in side-stepping techniques.
All of this was done by shooting at the familiar silhouette I had only seen on T.V., but there he was, menacing me with his blank stare.
My aim certainly left a lot to be desired. I tended to pull to the left, but if that guy had been running that way, well, he would have been in real trouble.
After about six hours of learning some of the basics, it was time for some fun.
We were going to have a shoot off and test, among other things, our aim.
First we were only really competing against ourselves, but then someone got the bright idea of setting up a two-person competition. And wouldn't you know it, Sarah and I had to go head-to-head.
I have to call foul, because she shoots for a living and that left me at a disadvantage. Needless to say they were not grading if the guy was running to the left so Sarah won. Well deserved.
This was a great course. Mike was very knowledgeable and didn't overwhelm the beginner.
That seemed to be overall consensus of the group which included a mix of former military personnel, experienced shooters and beginners. Everyone seemed to have something to take away from the course.
So what's next for Sarah and I? Combat rifle training, of course.
Get ready, Mike, we're coming back!
Gun Sales Boom in '09 - Daily Bulletin - 12/30/2009
While other industries have suffered massive losses during recession-ravaged 2009, the firearms business seems to have had one of its best years in recent memory.
Concerns about personal safety in a crippled economy and worries that Democrats in Washington would limit firearms sales prompted a gun buying frenzy this year, local and national industry insiders said.
"It's ironic that we've experienced what we call the `Obama effect,"' said R.J. Kirschner, founder of Top Gun Training Centre in the Lytle Creek area. "The president has been the most effective economic stimulus for the firearm industry."
The election of President Barack Obama, combined with the congressional dominance of Democrats, led many Americans to
start gobbling up weapons faster than manufacturers could make them in 2009, Kirschner said.
A belief among some conservatives that Democrats would use their leverage to step up regulation of firearms helped drive sales, Kirschner said.
"(Gun buyers are) afraid of regulation," he said. "They want to get a hold of things before it happens.
"(Democrats) haven't made the move yet. They're focusing on health care. It's only a matter of time before they focus on other things."
Richard Pumerantz, president of Ten-X Ammunition Inc. in Rancho Cucamonga, said ammunition sales "rose tremendously" in 2009 compared to 2008.
"Orders are up at least 40 percent if not closer to 50 percent," Pumerantz said. "It's pretty much across the board. Probably more pistol (ammunition) than rifle (ammunition)."
The increase in sales comes with a decrease in inventory.
"There's absolutely no way we've been able to keep up with orders. We've still got orders on certain specialty items back to February," Pumerantz said.
In a financial report to stockholders, Sturm, Ruger & Co. Inc., one of the nation's leading gun manufacturers, stated production grew 69.3percent when comparing the first quarter of the 2009 calendar year to the same time in 2008.
According to the report, production also increased 25.6 percent in first quarter 2009 compared with the fourth quarter 2008.
"It was a very busy year," said Ken Jorgensen, the company's director of media relations. "We tried our hardest to keep up with demand."
That demand was "unusually high," with more than 500,000 units ordered in the first quarter of 2009. The initial influx in demand began in October 2008, according to the report.
Pumerantz said the Obama effect had a positive impact on Ten-X Ammunition Inc.'s bottom line.
"Just when in 2008 as Obama was getting the nomination from the Democratic party, we saw an increase in sales. When he won the election, we saw an increase in sales."
But Obama was not the only politician to help move ammunition. California's Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger also helped increase sales.
"When Gov. Schwarzenegger had a bill on his desk regarding the requirement of fingerprinting on ammunition sales, for a background check on ammunition sales, before that was signed, there was a tremendous increase in sales as well," Pumerantz said.
There were also a lot of purchases from government agencies, Pumerantz said.
"That's probably been a bigger component than anything else," Pumerantz said. "Everything from DOD (U.S. Department of Defense), Homeland Security, just throughout the state, all the agencies. Law enforcement agencies (and) government agencies have been increasing their orders in order to stay ahead of the shortages that occurred over the past two years."
Kirschner said general fears that crime goes up when the economy tanks may also have spooked some into buying their first gun.
In late 2008, media reports of huge rounds of layoffs and government bailouts of banks began circulating in the public's psyche, which may have fueled fears of civil unrest, Kirschner said.
"September (2008) was the beginning of the visible recessionary period," he said. "Anytime people have a concern about their personal safety to prevent their own victimization they exercise their Second Amendment right.
"There's also economics - the scarcity of the product. If everybody is purchasing, you're beginning to see the supply and demand effect because the producers can't make (guns) fast enough."

Robert Fine and the critique of antisemitism
Dan Davison
Robert Fine, who died on 9 June 2018, was a socialist writer unafraid to stand up to much of the left's received wisdom on the questions of Israel, Palestine, and antisemitism.
He opposed the "absolute anti-Zionist" standpoint that one should unreservedly object to (a) Israel's very existence, rather than the oppressive practices of the Israeli state, and (b) any feelings of Jewish communal or national identification with Israel, even when such feelings are accompanied with harsh condemnation of the Israeli government or genuine horror at the Palestinians' suffering.
Israelophobia is Stalinist regression
Barry Finger
Barry Finger reviews Paul Kelemen's book The British Left and Zionism: History of a Divorce (Manchester University Press, 2012)
This volume, which joins the herd of independent minds in churning the same old depleted groupthink, purports to challenge the claim that changes over the decades in the left's appraisal of Zionism and the Palestinian cause stem from antisemitism.

The return of old formulas
Martin Thomas
There are about 13 million Palestinians across the world. They do not have a state of their own. They are disadvantaged in all the countries where they are mainly concentrated, though in different ways from country to country.
Momentum says: read Steve Cohen's book!
Daniel Randall
Momentum's official Twitter account, followed by 120,000 people, has tweeted a link to the online text of That's Funny, You Don't Look Antisemitic, a 1984 book by Jewish socialist Steve Cohen analysing left antisemitism.

As part of an ongoing series of interviews with leftist activists in Israel/Palestine, Daniel Randall of Workers' Liberty spoke to Hannah Pollin-Galay, an activist in Standing Together, a cross-party movement organising Jews and Arabs against occupation and in favour of social and economic equality. By profession, Pollin-Galay is a Yiddish and Holocaust researcher at Tel Aviv University.

Over the past decade the situation for the Palestinians has gone from bad to worse.
Continued occupation, continued settlement expansion in the West Bank, no end to the conflict, the US moving their embassy to Jerusalem (undermining the widely held view that Jerusalem should be shared as a city after a settlement between Israelis and Palestinians) and now Trump has pledged to withdraw all US funding for the UN's refugee agency for Palestinians UNWRA, while also closing down the PLO's offices in Washington DC.
How the BDS movement delegitimises Israel
Dan Katz
In an interesting article in the Guardian (14 August) Nathan Thrall sets out the way in which many Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) activists now view the Israel-Palestinian conflict and how they pose a solution.
"BDS has challenged the two-state consensus … by undermining [the] central premise: that the conflict can be resolved simply by ending Israel's occupation of Gaza, East Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank…
IHRA definitions do not exclude criticism of Israeli governments
AWL*
An open letter (printed in full below) is being circulated which calls on Labour's National Executive to refuse to endorse the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) examples of antisemitism. Workers' Liberty thinks the Open Letter is based on a misunderstanding of the IHRA and thus will not help Labour's leadership deal with the controversy over the Party's new code on antisemitism.
Despite what is said, no IHRA examples, exclude criticism of any racist actions of the Israeli government.

Discover Hong Kong with a private guide, a buzzing global hub of business, art, style and culture.
A Hong Kong stopover grants you an opportunity to explore a truly unique segment of China with the expertise of a private local guide. Navigate the signature sights of Hong Kong with your guide, exploring Kowloon and its revitalized walled quarters where architectural and spiritual beauty have persevered. Visit Aberdeen, the floating community of Hong Kong, ride the iconic Star Ferry across Victoria Harbor, visit the Wong Tai Sin temple where wishes are said to come true, and take a ride on the renowned Peak Tram, the only way to experience the best of Hong Kong's natural beauty.
On arrival at Hong Kong Airport, please proceed through immigration, collect your luggage and pass through Customs. You will be met in Arrivals Hall B by your Airport Representative holding a sign with your name on it. You will then be assisted to your private vehicle for transfer to your hotel.
Set in a modern high-rise building, the chic luxury hotel is a 6 minute walk from Admiralty Metro Station and 1 kilometer from the tram to the picturesque Victoria Peak look out point. A calming contemporary hotel, The Upper House is a haven within the city. The hotel's studios and suites are surprisingly spacious, featuring natural materials and gorgeous bathrooms. Enjoy thrilling views from Level 49 at Café Gray Deluxe. The Upper House is an intimate hotel full of surprises. Warm, friendly and informal, it's a place where everyone is treated as an individual.

Hong Kong was once a simple fishing village. Today, it is one of the world's most cosmopolitan cities where East truly meets West. See all the highlights of Hong Kong Island on this orientation tour by private transportation. It is a great way to get to know Hong Kong and its famous landmarks and history. Start with a ride on the iconic Star Ferry as you cross Victoria Harbour one of Hong Kong's greatest assets, a jewel that people marvel at no matter how many times they visit the city. Next enjoy a ride on the World's steepest funicular railway, the Peak Tram! Looking down from The Peak, you'll be amazed by the spectacular view of the surrounding city skyline, the world-famous Victoria Harbour and Kowloon, towering skyscrapers and peaceful green hillsides. You will then visit Aberdeen, the famous fishing village where you'll see Hong Kong's junk-dwelling "floating community" - still very much a part of Hong Kong life. An optional 15-20 minutes sampan ride can be arranged into the typhoon shelter for a close-up view of waterborne life. Next you will pass through picturesque Repulse Bay on your way to Stanley, a popular market town on the sunny south side of Hong Kong Island. Spend the remainder of your tour exploring Stanley's relaxed ambiance and markets where bargain buys have made it world famous.
This tour reveals some fascinating Hong Kong heritage and starts with a visit to a charming parkland setting for a Qing Dynasty fort – The Kowloon Walled City Park. The Park sits on the very site of the former Kowloon Walled City, remembered today as a haven of crime and debauchery. Throughout the 20th century, fugitives and other criminals flocked to the lawless enclave. In 1987, with the agreement of China, the colonial government finally took control of the no-go area, resettled its inhabitants, and replaced the slum with a park. You will then visit one of Hong Kong's most popular temples, Wong Tai Sin, which specializes in fortune-telling. The temple's claim to 'make every wish come true upon request' might have something to do with its popularity. Home to three religions (Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism), its natural setting and beautifully ornamented buildings make it as much a scenic attraction as an important religious centre. Next be amazed by the Tang dynasty-style Buddhist temple, the Chi Lin Nunnery. This Buddhist nunnery is stunning with its monastery complex having been renovated as a piece of Tang dynasty architecture. The grand and elegant complex will surely become one of China's great cultural attractions in the years to come. There are other halls containing a treasure trove of religious relics as well as restful lotus ponds and an array of well-manicured Bonsai trees.

Eight days of cultural tours including Paro, Thimphu, Gangtey, and the Bumthang Valley
Full Itinerary DETAILED ITINERARY >> ITINERARY IN BRIEF >>
Day 1: 8-DAY BHUTAN TOURS / Arrive Paro, drive to Thimphu (Tashichho Dzong) (D)
On arriving at the Paro International Airport, your tour guide will meet you and escort you to Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan. The one-hour drive to Thimphu takes you on a winding road along the Paro and Thimphu River with views of lots of beautiful hamlets. Just before reaching Thimphu, you will visit Tashichho Dzong (dzong means fortress). This impressive fortress/monastery houses the secretariat building, the throne room of His Majesty the King, and various government offices. It is also the summer residence of the Chief Abbot and the central body of monks. It was rebuilt in the early 1960's after a fire destroyed most of the building. The amazing thing about this building is that it was built without a single drawing or a single nail!
Meals included: Dinner
Mid-Range Accommodations: Peaceful Resort (Thimphu)
Day 2: Sightseeing in Thimphu (Memorial Chorten, Folk Heritage Museum,) and drive to Punakha (Dochu La Pass, Chimi Lakhang & Punakha Dzong) (BLD)
First, you will visit Memorial Chorten, also known as the Thimphu Chorten, a large Tibetan-style Buddhist Monastery. The Memorial Chorten is a popular landmark in the city with its golden spires and bells. The building of this landmark was envisaged by the third king, His Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuck. Completed in 1974 after his untimely death, it is both a memorial to the late king ("the father of modern Bhutan") and a monument to world peace. Next, you will visit the Folk Heritage Museum, which is housed in a three story 19th century traditional earthen and timber building. Established in 2001, the museum provides a glimpse into the traditional Bhutanese culture and way of life. On the way to Punakha, you will drive past Do Chula Pass (3,150 meters). On a clear day, you can see the breathtaking views of the whole range of Eastern Himalayan Mountain ranges. Later, you will visit Chimi Lhakhang (the fertility temple) where childless women go to the temple to receive blessing from the saint. It was built by Saint Drukpa Kunley (Divine madman) in 1499. Legend has it that he subdued the demoness of the Dochu La with his magic thunderbolt of wisdom. A wooden effigy of the Lama's thunderbolt is preserved in the Lhakhang. To finish off your busy day, you will visit Punakha Dzong, built by Shabdrung in 1637. Punakha Dzong has undergone flooding from a glacial lake high above in the mountains of Lunana, which periodically has broken through its barriers, and has been ravaged by fire, but it has stood on its remarkable site since the 17th century. The flash flood of October 1994 caused a great deal of damage but miraculously spared the statue of Lord Buddha. The three-story Machhen Lhakhang is a fine example of traditional architecture, crafted from cypress with four intricately embossed entrance pillars decorated in gold and silver, the inside walls are covered with elaborate murals depicting the teaching of the Buddha. The Chorten which contains the Kudung is adorned with precious jewels and took twenty craftsmen four years to construct.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 3: Drive to Gangtey (Phobijekha Valley and Gangtey Goemba) (BLD)
After breakfast, you will leave Punakha and drive to Gangtey (78 km/3 hours). Gangtey is a beautiful meadow where you can experience breathtaking views of the Black Mountain range. Phobjikha Valley is the winter habitat (late October to early March) of the rare and endangered Black Necked Cranes. In the center of the valley and rising on a small ridge stands one of the oldest private monasteries in Bhutan, Gangtey Goemba, which was founded in 1613. You will also have the opportunity to see yaks grazing from the highland pastures and black-face langur monkeys playing in the surrounding trees.
Mid-Range Accommodations: Dragon Nest Resort
Day 4: Drive to Bumthang Valley (BLD)
You will depart early this morning for the longest drive of the trip, (135 km/5 hours). crossing three Himalayan passes before reaching the sacred Bumthang Valley. Don't worry, you will stop at Pele La Pass (3,300 meters high) to stretch your legs and for tea at Chendebji Chorten, an ancient shrine. You will also stop for lunch at Trongsa Dzong, the ancestral home of the royal family and the watch tower, built in 1649. It is now the administrative seat of the district and the home of the monastic school. This architectural wonder was a vigilance point for both eastern and western threats. The watch tower, located directly above the dzong, has on display many interesting armors and other war artifacts used by ancient warriors. After lunch you will drive through the fertile Chumney Valley and also visit the village of Zugney, where you will have the opportunity to buy the local yak wool fabric.
Mid-Range Accommodations: Hotel Olathang (Paro)
Day 5: Sightseeing in the Bumthang Valley (Jambay Lhakhang, Kurje Lhakhang, and Tamshing Lhakhang) (BLD)
This morning, you will embark on a walking tour in the beautiful Bumthang Valley. You will visit three ancient and sacred monasteries, Jambay Lhakhang, Kurje Lhakhang, and Tamshing Lhakhang. Tamshing Lhakhang is of particular note because, in March 2012, the monastery was submitted for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List. You will end your walk back at the hotel.
Day 6: Fly to Paro; Tour of Paro (National Museum of Buhtan and Paro Dzong) (BLD)
You will fly back to Paro on an early morning flight. Once back in Paro, you will visit the National Library of Bhutan, which collects and preserves important documents on Bhutan. The library also contains a representative collection of English and other western language books mainly related to the Himalayas, Bhutan, and Buddhism. Later, you will visit Paro Dzong, also known as the Ringpung Dzong, which means "fortress on a heap of jewels," and is one of the finest examples of Bhutanese architecture. It is also the administrative seat of the district of Paro. The Paro Dzong was built in the 16th century on the foundation of a monastery built by Guru Rinpoche and was used on numerous occasions to defend the Paro Valley from invasions by Tibet. You will also have the opportunity to take a stroll in downtown Paro this afternoon, before returning to the hotel.
Day 7: Sightseeing in Paro (Taktsang Monastery, Kyichu Monastery, Drugyal Dzong) (BLD)
Today, you will hike to Taktsang Monastery, also known as the Tiger's Nest. This magical monastery clings to a vertical granite cliff 3000 feet above the valley floor. The primary monastery was built around Guru Rinpoche's meditation cave in 1684 AD by Gyaltshe Tenzin Rabgay. Legend has it that Guru Padmasambhava, the tantric mystic who brought Buddhism to Bhutan in 747 AD, flew here on the back of a flying tigress. The old monastery, unfortunately, was destroyed by fire in 1998, but has been completely restored. The hike takes about 4 hours round-trip. Once you reach the view point of the Monastery, you have the option to visit the Monastery, which takes about another hour to reach. Next, you will visit the Kyichu Monastery built in the 7th century. This is one of the oldest monasteries in Bhutan built by the great Tibetan King Songsten Gyepo and the main statue is of the Future Buddha which is similar to the main Buddha statue in the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet. Pilgrims turn the many prayer wheels along the walls as they circumnavigate the temple. The statues of the Bodhisattvas and the Buddha are national treasures. The wooden floor of the sanctum is inlaid with turquoise and coral gemstones offered by pilgrims. Last, you will visit the ruined Drugyal Dzong, whose massive ruins offer insight into the unique construction of Bhutan's famous fortresses. From its ramparts, the Bhutanese repelled Tibetan invaders. Weather permitting, you will have great views of Mt. Chomolhari at 24,000 ft.

One Bridge I'd Like To Walk
Sept. 15: Early colorization of leaves, mainly sumac, has gone on alongside our road because the county has sprayed herbicide in the ditches. I saw a sprayer truck putting the poison to a stand of cattails, these plants being always a sign of good water and soil health—a healthy "ecosystem" as it's called these days. So by all means, let us apply some chemical potion that'll kill 'em.
This ditch-spraying makes no sense to me. Mostly grasses grow in ditches, and they help to clean the water that's absorbed back into the earth. Sumacs do the same, and they don't grow too tall or live very long. Saplings of large, long-lived trees that might pop up in the ditches to eventually obstruct them are sickle-mowed easily enough. What must this plant-toxic spray do to frogs, toads, turtles, snakes, returnable-can collectors and other critters who like to hang out in the ditches?
This overspray kills low-lying branches of roadside trees and the edges of farmers' crops, too. Elect me president and I will put an immediate stop to this practice. Or I will do the exact opposite of what I've promised as a candidate and bomb our rural ditches with radioactive materials, and fill them to the brim with Agent Orange.
Human mismanagement of the flow of rainwater was a partial subject of a book I've just read: CONCRETE … A Seven-Thousand-Year History by Reese Palley. Mr. Palley is very much concerned about extensive pavements of impervious concrete interfering with the regeneration of our aquifers. How many millions of gallons of rainwater and snowmelt are directed into sewer systems worldwide each year instead of being allowed to replenish the subterranean water works our wells draw drinking water from? Pervious concrete is going to have to be the parking-lot pavement of the near future, and yes, there is such a thing as concrete that will let water flow through it.
This book was mailed to me by a distant friend who knew I couldn't resist a book on masonry with such an enthralling title. What I mostly got out of it was the author's very good case for the pyramids of Egypt having been made not of cut limestone, but of poured concrete, composed of natural materials that are indistinguishable from stone under analysis. The most enormous blocks of the pyramids are all of the exact same length, and the hand-cutting of gargantuan limestone blocks would have made for tremendous waste, given stone defects and other stone-working vagaries. There has never been any sign of where this waste might have gone, and to me the notion of cutting limestone on any large scale with copper tools is ridiculous.
Did alien beings descend to assist with the cutting of stone—with lasers, perhaps—and the hoisting of it into place? Such speculations, in the book, are those of "pyramidiots."
This afternoon I brought up from our fields the last batch of fresh goldenrod flowers. Toni, my wife, has stripped the stems of leaves and hung the flowers to dry on a line on the porch. This wonderful goldenrod, which often takes the allergy blame for ragweed that blooms at the same time, has kept me from developing kidney stones for a good many years now. Toni makes an "infusion" (a very strong tea) of these flowers about once a month, and in the mornings I'll drink a half-a-cup of it until the quart is gone. Keeping the nostrils closed while drinking it straight (without honey or some other sweetener) is a good idea because it doesn't taste too good.
Here's what you might do next year, kidney stone sufferers: Find a stand of goldenrod in full, perfect bloom, a stand with lots of bees on it. Don't disturb the bees. Cut the stems of these flowers, just enough stem for a handle. Bring in your bouquets, strip the leaves from the stems and hang the works on a dry, airy spot for about a week. Put the dried flowers in jars for storage.
Bring water to a boil, pour into a quart jar with a cup of dried flowers in it, let steep for two-three hours, strain out the flowers and refrigerate. There you go.
Goldenrod will not only prevent kidney stone formation. If you're suffering a stone, it will also serve to dissolve and pass one that a urologist is apt to tell you you're not likely to get rid of without a $4,000 operation. Added bonuses are that goldenrod is a "cure-all" and antidepressant.

Disturbing Astroworld 911 Call Reveals Authorities Wanted To Stop Concert
Travis Scott's name has made headlines lately for reasons he certainly wouldn't have wanted. This is because Scott's latest Astroworld concert ended in utter tragedy. It seems recent audio from the concert has revealed horrific details.
As reported earlier, Travis Scott's first night of his Astroworld concert in Houston ended in the deaths of 8 people after a stampede broke out. On top of that, more than 300 people also suffered injuries.
Around 9 PM, people began surging toward the stage. People got crushed, which led to mass hysteria. All of this led to 9 people losing their lives in the tragic incident. In addition to that, 11 people went into cardiac arrest and were rushed to the hospital.
Several audio clips have surfaced online of Houston Police officers and other medical personnel addressing the various issues seen during the concert. Things were clearly horrific as one voice says, "… folks are coming out of the crowd complaining of difficulty breathing."
The audio makes it clear that authorities were well aware of how bad the situation was. Authorities even directly said, "They have to stop the show because there's people trampled and (inaudible) not breathing."
It was said that the Astroworld damages were estimated to be in the billions. Fans even tried to stop the concert when the riot started during the concert but to no avail. We hope such a horrific incident never happens again as better precautions should be taken to save lives.

Lindores Abbey SF: Nakamura knocks out Carlsen, reaches final
5/31/2020 – Hikaru Nakamura bounced back from a 0:3 loss in the first mini-match of the semi-finals by winning the next two rubbers to knock out world champion Magnus Carlsen from the Lindores Abbey Rapid Challenge. The third mini-match went down to the wire, with Nakamura choosing black in the Armageddon decider and beating Carlsen after the latter first achieved a favourable position and then blundered away the game. Nakamura will face Daniil Dubov in the final, starting Monday. | Photos: Austin Fuller / FIDE
A thrilling (semi) finale
The Lindores Abbey Chess Challenge started on May 18th. Twelve players are taking part. After a three-day preliminary, the best eight players will advance to the deciding knockout section. The time control is 15 minutes for the game, with a 10-second increment per move.
It almost felt like a final, as incidentally it was the only tie to reach the third rubber in the semis. Furthermore, the two were the pre-tournament favourites — the world champion was facing the number one player in blitz, after all. A little back and forth during the last week on social networks added some spice.
In the end, a closely disputed third mini-match ended up favouring Hikaru Nakamura. After a draw in game one, the American got ahead on the scoreboard with a strong showing of theoretical preparation. The score levelled in the next encounter, when Magnus Carlsen took advantage of his opponent's blunder. A draw in game four meant the whole match would be decided in Armageddon.
As the winner of the preliminaries, Nakamura got to choose the colour in the tiebreaker. He chose black, getting less time on the clock and draw odds. Carlsen had a superior position in the middlegame but, as pointed out by 'Naka', Black could simply play natural moves, quickly. Things came to a head when Carlsen lost control around move 37, first giving away his edge and then blundering a whole rook.
Nakamura had reached the final by eliminating the strongest player in the world, and said:
It's great to beat Magnus. At least one time I found the way, so I'm pretty happy.
Carlsen, on the other hand, told the Norwegian press, as reported by Tarjei J. Svensen:
I feel better now than ten minutes ago. But this will be painful for a while. [...] It didn't cross my mind that things would go wrong, when things started to go wrong I became more and more stressed while he likely got more and more confidence.
Of course, the world champion is not one to allow losses to put him down longer than strictly necessary. Carlsen tweeted:
Master Class Vol.8: Magnus Carlsen
Scarcely any world champion has managed to captivate chess lovers to the extent Carlsen has. The enormously talented Norwegian hasn't been systematically trained within the structures of a major chess-playing nation such as Russia, the Ukraine or China.
I'll be back.
— Magnus Carlsen (@MagnusCarlsen) May 30, 2020
The Lindores Abbey Rapid Challenge continues on Monday, when the final will kick off after a rest day. Daniil Dubov, who showed he is not afraid to employ his ultra-sharp style against the best in the world will face an in-form Nakamura. The same format as the one used in the previous stages of the knockout will be in place.
Nakamura 2:2 Carlsen
Once the match was over, Nakamura was asked which colour he would choose to play with in the first game of the final. He chose black, as he has done in all previous rounds — he always gets to choose the colour as he finished first in the preliminaries. With black, he comfortably held Carlsen to a draw at the outset of their third mini-match.
Game two was the turning point of the contest. Nakamura showed deep preparation out of an Open Ruy Lopez, while Carlsen uncharacteristically spent large amounts of time frequently. The players followed mainstream theory until move 23, when the world champion deviated with a subpar continuation:
The Fashionable Caro-Kann Vol.1 and 2
The Caro Kann is a very tricky opening. Black's play is based on controlling and fighting for key light squares. It is a line which was very fashionable in late 90s and early 2000s due to the successes of greats like Karpov, Anand, Dreev etc. Recently due to strong engines lot of key developments have been made and some new lines have been introduced, while others have been refuted altogether. I have analyzed the new trends carefully and found some new ideas for Black.
Ray Robson, Vidit Gujrathi and Anish Giri, among others, had played 23...Rac8 in this position. Nakamura proved he remembered this variation during the post-game interview, while Carlsen opted for 23...Nxb2 instead. White had a favourable position and, more importantly, a massive advantage on the clock — Carlsen erred on move 29 and resigned on move 34. The Norwegian's poor time management was a crucial factor, as noted by Nakamura:
I felt, especially yesterday and today, he was just too slow on the clock. I'm not sure why, but it just seemed like in the flow of the moves he was a little bit off.
Carlsen bounced back immediately, though, as Nakamura later confessed that he "wasn't really in the game" in the third encounter of the day — the win in game two had not sunk in yet. Carlsen won in 46 moves.
A draw in the last 15-minute game of the day meant the whole match would be decided in Armageddon. Playing white, Carlsen got a strategic advantage out of the opening. Nakamura's position was slowly deteriorating, but his quick play allowed him to even the clock times. The American also avoided committing any major tactical missteps, while the game was decided when the world champion made a one-move blunder:
Calculation Training
This DVD emphasizes the importance of training your calculation skills. Dutch IM Robert Ris made a selection of training material which he uses in lessons with students ranging from 1400 to 2400.
40.Re4 or 40.Qe4 would have kept the game going, while White's 40.Rxb4 gave way to 40...Qe1+ 41.Kh2 Qxb4. Carlsen resigned the game — and the match — on the next move.

Vida de Sant Honorat Arquebisbe de Arles
Valencia (Spain) — October 31, 1513
The life and works of Saint Honoratus, the Archbishop of Arles, in whose monastery i.a. St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, was trained
St. Honoratus (ca. 350–429) was an early Archbishop of Arles who travelled throughout the Holy Land and visited Rome
Raymond Féraud (ca. 1245 – ca. 1324) wrote an authoritative hagiography about Honoratus ca. 1300
Seven woodcuts, engraved initials, and borders filled with flowers and drolleries adorn this 1513 print by Joan Joffre

This printed Spanish codex from 1513 relates the popular hagiography written ca. 1300 concerning Saint Honoratus, an important missionary and religious leader in the latter days of the Western Roman Empire. Honoratus was born to a consular Roman family in Gaul and thus received an excellent education. He was converted to Christianity by his brother, with whom he travelled through the Holy Land and other places in the ancient Christian world. Before becoming the Archbishop of Arles, Honoratus founded Lérins Abbey on the island that is named for him today – Île Saint-Honorat – the second largest of the Lérins Islands off the coast of the French Riviera. Other notable religious figures including Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, were trained in the abbey. Aside from the seven detailed woodcuts, various engraved marginalia adorn the finely printed Gothic script of this work.
Saint Honoratus (ca. 350-429) was an early Archbishop of Arles as well as Abbot of Lérins Abbey, which he founded ca. 410 after being a disciple of a hermit living on the island named Caprasius of Lérins (d. 430). The Abbey became famous for producing notable theologians and bishops during the 5th and 6th centuries, including St. Patrick, who missionized the Irish. He travelled throughout the Holy Land and visited Rome before pursuing a hermit's life. The tomb of Honoratus in Arles continues to be a place of pilgrimage today.
A Printed Spanish Hagiography
Although his writings have not survived to the present, Raymond Féraud (ca. 1245 – ca. 1324) wrote a hagiography about Honoratus ca. 1300. This authoritative source presumably served as the inspiration for the anonymous Spanish poet who composed the work at hand, which was published on October 31st, 1513 in the Valencian printing house of Joan Joffre. The seven splendid woodcuts adorning the text are factotum, multipurpose engravings. Their clear yet detailed compositions perfectly compliment the neatly printed and elegant Gothic script, as do the engraved initials and borders filled with flowers and drolleries – small grotesques appearing as mixed creatures. The title page inter alia feature script that is printed in a deep red color. This is the only surviving copy of the codex and is in excellent shape with only one mutilated page (p. 38). A truly unique and beautiful Vita Honoratus!

Home | In the News | News archive | Archived Prisoners' Rights stories | Duty of Care to Cellmate in Jail Suicide
In Butchart v The Home Office, 15 March 2006 the Court of Appeal has considered a strike out application by the Home Office in respect of a psychiatric injury claim by Mr Butchart arising from the suicide of his cell mate, Ian Holms.
The Court of Appeal concluded that the control mechanisms set out in Frost v Chief Constable of South Yorkshire Police [1999] 2AC 455 (the Hillsborough litigation) do not arise because of the nature of the relationship between a prisoner and the Prison Service. Mr Butchart did not have to prove 'close ties of love and affection' to the deceased to recover compensation for forseeable psychiatric damage.
In circumstances where a prisoner is vulnerable to psychiatric harm, the Prison Service therefore owes a duty to take reasonable steps to minimise that risk.
Further, the decision to place a suicidal prisoner with Mr Butchart was capable of amounting to a breach of that duty even where the claimant had consented to the placement. A breach of the duty might also arise through inadequate monitoring of the placement.
In also dismissing the Prison Service's application for summary judgment, the Court of Appeal commented that the Prison Service's argument that the risk of Mr Holm's suicide was not foreseeable failed to recognise the opinion of the Regional Secure Unit that Mr Holms was at 'long term risk of self harm and attempted suicide'.
The responsibilities that therefore rested with the Prison Service will fall to be considered by the trial judge "in the light of the inevitable constraints imposed by what is reasonably practicable in a prison community."
Butchart v The Home Office


Recently the US launched cyber-attacks against North Korean military infrastructure. The attacks caused no permanent damage and imposed only a short-term degradation of internet access. They were likely designed to signal American capability and willingness to use such methods. But the North Koreans and the US both know that incapacitating the DPRK military through cyber-attacks is unlikely.
However, North Korean cyber-criminals represent a soft vulnerability in an otherwise hardened defence.
The main North Korean cyber-criminal groups, known as Lazarus and Guardians of Peace (GOP), reside and operate almost exclusively outside the country, according to a recent analysis by the commerical security firm Recorded Future. The criminal operations are launched from IT infrastructure physically located in other countries, and private sector analysts have learned details of Lazarus and GOP due to their weak security practices (eg. not encrypting web traffic or obfuscating IP addresses).
Lazarus and GOP's physical location in foreign countries brings them within the reach of law enforcement. Cases can be developed against individuals. Australian Federal Police can work with foreign law enforcement to gather evidence, serve warrants, and make arrests. Local law enforcement agents acting under court order may be able to seize compromised equipment. Legal action can increase pressure on the criminal network, closing physical safe-havens and raising the costs for launching attacks. The foreign location of the North Korean actors may also enable the Kim regime to save face by disowning the responsible individuals.
Even if the criminals slip the dragnet and escape back to North Korea, indictments can pave the way for diplomatic efforts that might follow. In 2014, the US brought charges against five Chinese officers in the People's Liberation Army for stealing intellectual property from US-based businesses. These officers will likely never see the inside of an American courtroom, but their indictment led to a landmark agreement between President Obama and President Xi. China agreed to support international norms in cyberspace; Chinese cyber-attacks against the US have since been reduced.
If law enforcement and diplomatic efforts are unsuccessful, governments could use the gathered evidence to deploy cyber-operations that damage the criminal's computer infrastructure. Such operations should be documented and shared with other countries. Proving the effectiveness of cyber-operations and ability to be used in a limited tactical scope would build good faith with regional and global allies. Establishing cyber-capabilities within a continuum of options – economic, law enforcement, diplomatic – will better position Australia, America, and other allies to deter and disrupt cyber-crime in the future.
Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop have pledged to develop and use cyber operations to combat online crime. North Korean criminals present an opportunity to demonstrate this capability.

Home / Education / Which Acne Remedy to Use? Must Read Guide!
I know, you really want to get to rid of your acne fast. But as you go about treating your acne (especially chronic acne), it is important to keep in mind that all acne is not the same. You gotta use the kind of acne treatment that targets the specific sort of acne that plaguing you. If you use the wrong treatment, there's a good chance you will make the acne breakouts worse.
Blackheads are, basically, open comedones. Comedones are the skin-colored bumps often found on the forehead or chin. Open comedones are commonly referred to as blackheads. They're "black" not because they're dirty, but because of the surface pigment of your skin. Closed comedones are whiteheads when the follicle or pore is completely blocked.
Whiteheads are closed comedones--therefore, blackheads which are coated on top. The very best way to mend themThis is the place where the timeless zit remedies get involved. "Topical drugs are the ideal way to deal with a lesion similar to this," states Jennifer Chwalek, M.D., a dermatologist in Union Square Laser Dermatology at NYC. Retinol works nicely for these, also.
"They do not always possess a whitehead and they are very likely to scar" Since they are inflamed, they could be sensitive to the signature also --that is nice, as you likely would not wish to touch them anyhow.
The very best way to fix them since they are more closely related to bacteria than your own hormones or scarcity of exfoliation, papular pustules call for a different strategy of attack completely. Inflammatory acne kinds actually respond to antibiotics, either systemic or topical. All these, naturally, need a visit to your dermatologist. To tide you over, you may also try applying hydrocortisone lotion, which briefly takes down swelling and redness. However, in the long term, it will not do much to make those vanish completely or prevent them from popping up.
It is like clockwork. Each month, you most likely begin to feel bloated and detect a close breakout all around your chin and jawline. It is not you--it is your hormones. Regular hormonal alterations can cause outbreaks, and they are more prevalent across the jaw and chin than in your own T-zone.
If you are experiencing hormonal acne each and every month it is well worth visiting your physician to rule out polycystic ovarian syndrome, a hormonal imbalance which can result in infertility, anxiety, and depression. According to many dermatologists, birth control drugs, that help regulate hormone levels, are successful in preventing such breakouts. , who is also a lover of DIY remedies in regards to the way to eliminate acne.
Fundamentally, cysts comprise of sebaceous content (again, a gross mixture of oil, dirt, and germs) that is trapped underneath the epidermis and does not have any way out--so they simply live and grow beneath the skin, inducing both a bulge and, sometimes, pain. These take more time to resolve by themselves, are responsive to topical therapies, and over time can result in scarring.
This is probably a time to see your dermatologist to get a cortisone injection. After a cortisone injection, you may see improvements in as little as 24 hours. If you are sitting here wondering why physicians do not just shoot every one your up coughing with cortisone, that is because it may actually cause discoloration or possibly a depression on your skin, particularly with smaller migraines. So this is not a treatment that you can do daily. Ask your dermatologist for more information.


One of the cafés in my area where I frequently drink / work requires you to pass through an annoying web page forcing you to agree to some terms before allowing you to access the Internet through their Wifi network. It's free – but they still annoy you with this silly HTTP gateway. This is actually a frequent thing in Israel – most cafés offer free Wifi access, but some will require to to log-in nevertheless.
Don't forget to make the file executable – I did it by running chmox +x /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/100httpgateway.sh.
"012-ArCaffe" is the ESSID of the network I'm logging in to. This of course work for ArCaffe in Israel, but you should change that with your network's ESSID.
$2, the second parameter, is "up" or "down" – the status of the interface.
You can add more options to the 'case' statement for more networks that need that sort of treatment. With a little of bash-fu that should be no problem.

Thank you for this! I have been trying to figure out how to do this for ages, it's a real time saver!

There's good news for grown-ups who love Lego.
Meredith Eriksson
Melbourne's soon to be opened Legoland store has confirmed adults will be banned from entering their "Discovery Centre" without a child.
Instead, the Centre will run special adult sessions to indulge their passion for Lego without ankle-biters getting in the way.
The Discovery Centre, which opens in the Chadstone shopping centre on April 18, is an area separate to the main store.
The section offers families multiple attractions to enjoy with their children, such as: a Lego 4D cinema, amusement rides, exhibits and creative workshops.
Listen to Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright and Monique Bowley discuss the ban on last week's episode of Mamamia Out Loud. Post continues after podcast.
Adults who attempt to purchase a single "adult" ticket to visit the Discovery Centre are automatically stopped by a prompt that informs them their ticket has been met with a "restriction".
The"Special Conditions" tab that appears when booking tickets informs individuals that adults must be accompanied by a child.
"Adults (18+) must be accompanied by a child (except at our adult only evening events) when visiting LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Melbourne," it reads.
The prompt given to adults who attempt to purchase tickets. (Source: Melbourne LEGOLAND discovery centre website.)

A representative for the store explained the decision to radio station 973FM.
"Many of the key features in the attraction therefore are not suitable or designed for the use of older children or grown adults of any ability - the soft play area, or some of the rides for example," they said.
"In order to constantly maintain a quality experience in which to play, LEGOLAND Discovery Centres do not permit entry to any groups of adults, adult couples, who are not accompanied by a young child or children during standard hours."
Adults were invited to attend monthly "Adult Nights" in order to experience the new centre.
Nope, nope, nope and nope. (Source: iStock.)
The Mamamia Out Loud hosts discussed the ban in last week's episode of their weekly podcast.
Host Mia Freedman believed allowing single adults into the Discovery Centre during regular hours was like seeing them in children's playgrounds.
"It's like an adult without any kids at the playground wanting to go on the swings. Little bit strange," she said.
Host Holly Wainwright chalked the decision up to management attempting to reduce any potential risks.
"They've obviously decided there are too many risks involved, having lone people roaming Legoland," she said.

Mia brought up mum and adult fan, Alice Finch, who was recently featured in Netflix documentary Beyond The Brick: A Lego Brickumentary.
"The mum creates these extraordinary creations, she did this one of the Lord Of The Rings, and she wins prizes and she's got a whole room dedicated to it," she said.
News of the ban comes after industrial designers crowdfunded over two million Australian dollars to create a tape that allows toy brick fans to build on any surface.
Their "Nimuno Tape" is a thin toy accessory that holds an adhesive on one side and a brick-like texture on the other.
The tape allows for Lego and other toy bricks creations to appear on walls, ceilings and other unusual surfaces.
The creative possibilities of the tape are featured in the video playing above.
