Zac Brown Band Reveal New 2020 Dates for 'The Owl' Tour
Isaac Brekken, Getty Images
Zac Brown Band have extended The Owl Tour into 2020. The genre-hopping band have announced a new string of 20 dates that will keep them on the road from February through April, with two special shows in July.
The new dates follow a hugely successful 2019 summer tour in support of The Owl, the group's latest album. The project finds them moving freely between musical genres and styles, and the initial 32 dates in 2019 saw the band perform in some of the biggest venues in North America, including Boston's Fenway Park, where they played two consecutive sold-out shows. That brings ZBB's career record at Fenway to 11 consecutive sold-out shows, a new record for the historic venue.
The 2020 leg of The Owl Tour is set to launch on Feb. 28 with a show at the TaxSlayer Center in Moline, Ill., and it runs through April 25, when it wraps at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Amos Lee and Poo Bear will join ZBB on the road for the 2020 stops of The Owl Tour, and the group will also perform two festival dates in July without those support acts.
"The energy throughout The Owl Tour has been electric at every stop," Zac Brown says in a press release. "It's been an unforgettable year and we've had so much fun sharing the new music with our fans. We can't wait to get back on the road next spring."
Tickets for the 2020 dates of The Owl Tour are slated to go on sale to the general public on Friday, Nov. 22, at 12PM local time via ZacBrownBand.com. An exclusive pre-sale for the Zamily Fan Club begins on Tuesday, Nov. 19, at 12PM local time. Citi cardmembers will have access to a separate pre-sale that begins Wednesday, Nov. 20, at 12PM local time and runs until Thursday, Nov. 21 at 10PM local time via CitiEntertainment.com

Ashby optioned, but looks forward to future
Urías flashing power at the plate; Bullpen stands out in wild comeback victory
Adam McCalvy
@AdamMcCalvy
PITTSBURGH -- Aaron Ashby's first stay in the Major Leagues lasted barely 24 hours, but the most veteran member of the Brewers' staff predicts he'll be back.
"Aaron Ashby is going to be a phenomenal pitcher in this league," Brett Anderson posted via Twitter on Wednesday night. "This first start is just blip on the radar."
Aaron Ashby is going to be a phenomenal pitcher in this league…this first start is just blip on the radar
— Brett Anderson (@_BAnderson30_) July 1, 2021
Ashby, ranked as the club's No. 7 prospect by MLB Pipeline, recorded only two outs and was charged with seven runs (four earned) in a spot start against the Cubs on Wednesday, when the Brewers scored 15 unanswered runs for a stunning, 15-7 win to complete a three-game sweep. With games on the schedule every day until the All-Star break, Milwaukee needed a fresh arm for Thursday's series opener against the Pirates at PNC Park. Ashby was optioned to Triple-A Nashville and the club called up right-hander Alec Bettinger -- who had to bounce back from his own nightmare Major League debut against the Dodgers in May.
"Everyone here was picking me up, telling me to keep my head up," Ashby said. "That's what I'm going to do. They've got a lot more experience than I do, doing this. Everyone has those kind of outings. Mine just happened to come on my debut day, which was unfortunate. But that's the way it goes. I'm looking forward to having successful outings in the future."
Where did Wednesday's outing go wrong?
"I can't really put a finger on it," Ashby said. "Just sneaky hit after sneaky hit. Then, I couldn't find the strike zone there at the end. But that's baseball. I've got to lock in, in that situation and make some pitches. I wasn't able to do that.
"As bad as it went, I did have fun. It was pretty cool to have this experience. What I'm going to take away is I've got to attack hitters. When things aren't going my way, I can't try to make a nasty pitch. Just stay in the zone and stick to what I do."
Fellow starting pitcher Adrian Houser's advice was this: Have a short memory.
"A perfect example happened to [Angels phenom] Shohei Ohtani last night," Houser said, referring to Ohtani's outing at Yankee Stadium when he, too, didn't get through the first inning. "Same way, he gave up seven runs in the first inning while getting two outs, and the guy's an incredible pitcher -- an incredible hitter as well. You just have to have a short memory and know that it won't be the last time. … [Ashby] is a really good pitcher and he's got some amazing stuff."
Urías showing power
Luis Urías has taken some lumps in the field this season, but at 24, he's developed into a threat at the plate. Entering Thursday, Urías was second on the team with 10 home runs in 285 plate appearances after hitting none in 120 plate appearances during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. His slugging percentage is up 139 points to .433.
"This is a mistake that I think frankly the industry is making about power -- power shows up from good hitters," manager Craig Counsell said. "And good hitters who are given a good foundation can square balls up, and they don't have to go way out of the park. They just have to go over the fence. Luis is just a good hitter who is squaring balls up. You can call it power, but it's just a good hitter squaring balls up and putting them in the air.
"There's a process to it. Sometimes we think, 'Oh, we need to walk into the big leagues and be a good power hitter.' Be a good hitter first. There's going to be a transition. Luis got at-bats last year, he hit for no power, he didn't hit the ball in the air that much. I think he learned from that. And as he puts at-bats under his belt, he continues to get better."
Here's how Urías thinks of his growing power:
"I never think to hit for power," he said, "it's more like I kind of realized most of the ground balls in the big leagues are outs because they've got good defense. We've been working on changing my approach compared to last year. I know it's really important to put the ball in play, but if you make soft contact [on the ground], it's probably going to be an out. Right now, my focus is going to be on getting my best pitch to hit. And I don't care if it's a line drive in the air or what. Whatever happens, happens. I'm just trying to do damage."
Deep 'pen
The Brewers' offense made headlines with Wednesday's comeback, but how about the work of the five relievers who followed Ashby? They combined for 8 1/3 innings of scoreless relief and surrendered only four hits, starting with rookie Miguel Sánchez's 2 1/3 innings of work with two hits, no walks and three strikeouts.
It's no coincidence, Counsell said a day later, that the Brewers' recent winning streak has coincided with qualify relief from pitchers beyond Josh Hader, Devin Williams and Brad Boxberger.
"Honestly, 'Sanchi' coming in there and getting us out of the first and then going two more after that was huge," said infielder Jace Peterson. "But every single one of those guys that came in the game shut the door. And offensively we just kept the gas on them. Those guys have been huge out of the 'pen."
Said Counsell: "The job our bullpen did, the job specifically Sánchez and [Trevor] Richards did, to just kind of stop them in their tracks really was just brilliant. That was the game."

This is the first book to systematically chart and comparatively assess the trend towards private higher education in South East Asia. Caught between conflicting imperatives of spiralling demand, and limited resources, the balance between public and private higher education systems in South East, South, and East Asia has shifted markedly.
The author's detailed case studies of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Viet Nam discuss and analyse significant policy issues and touch on key debates surrounding globalisation, including economic globalisation and structural adjustment, and the pressures of cultural globalisation, particularly the role of the English language. Debates surrounding the role of higher education in the 'knowledge economy', GATS and cross border trade in educational services are also treated, including the rise of offshore campuses in countries such as Malaysia and Viet Nam. What is argued is that we are witnessing not merely a changing balance between public and private sectors, but a blurring of borders between them, with public HEIs now often behaving more like private, for-profit institutions. The book charts and illustrates these trends, posing questions about their meaning, including issues of transparency, equity, and what the reforms might mean for traditional conceptions of public good in higher education.
1. Reform and change : directions in public and private higher education in Indonesia -- 2. Malaysia : a quest for the best? -- 3. Privatising higher education in Thailand? -- 4. Quantity over quality? public and private higher education in the Philippines -- 5. Ho Chi Minh meets the market : public and private higher education in Viet Nam.

Foreign investment creates 2,000 jobs in Coventry and Warwickshire as region bucks the national trend
Tristan Harris 30th Jul, 2021
ALMOST 2,000 jobs have been created in Coventry and Warwickshire in the past year because of foreign investment which, business experts say, points to a strong post-pandemic recovery for the region.
The figures show that, despite a difficult 18 months for many parts of the local and national economy, our area continues to be a leading location for companies from abroad.
Department of International Trade (DIT) statistics show a new 1,909 jobs have been created and 42 safeguarded with 45 successful foreign direct investments and a further five shared across multiple areas.
The 10 per cent jump in project compares well when set against the overall UK figures which saw a 12 per cent decline in projects over the same period.
Local key sectors were also strongly represented with eight ventures coming from software or games development and 11 from automotive and advanced engineering.
This year investors have included Hello Fresh, which created a new e-commerce fulfilment centre in Nuneaton, Lotus Engineering which has expanded its local presence with a new base at Wellesbourne Innovation Campus, BSA/ Classic Legends which has established a design and development centre in Coventry and games developer Electric Square which has set up a studio in Leamington Spa.
The Coventry and Warwickshire area has seen 17,985 jobs created from 302 foreign direct investment (FDI) projects over the last seven years.
Sarah Windrum, Chair of the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (CWLEP), said it was extremely positive the area was continuing to perform well in attracting inward investment.
"Given the difficulties and uncertainty presented by the pandemic, our region has continued to perform strongly and attract major international investment, creating and safeguarding nearly 2,000 jobs.
"We're pleased that with the combined efforts of CWLEP, Coventry City Council, Warwickshire County Council and the CWLEP Growth Hub along with the Department for International Trade (DIT) and its partners, this area is continuing to reap strong results and strengthen Coventry and Warwickshire's standing as a great place to live and to do business."
Coun Kam Kaur, Warwickshire County Council's portfolio holder for Economy and Place, said: "There has been a concerted effort from all parties to make sure that we maximise our potential and to ensure that we are selling the undoubted attributes of the area.
"Attracting new investment and supporting existing businesses is more important than ever as we move out of the pandemic and back to recovery."
Coun Jim O'Boyle, portfolio holder Jobs, Regeneration and Climate Change at Coventry City Council and CWLEP board director, said: "We continue to be a very attractive proposition for inward investors because of our location, skilled workforce and other attributes including our two leading universities.
"We're also ensuring we're well set to attract further investment – which is why we are working hard to establish a Gigafactory at Coventry Airport.
"Getting a job changes lives – that's why we work so hard with our partners to land these projects and it's why we will continue to work with our partners to ensure that Coventry and Warwickshire is at the forefront of investors' minds."

« MALE HATING THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Question Time LiveBlog 8th July 2010 »
A WASTE OF LIFE..
By David Vance | July 8, 2010 - 9:35 am | November 14, 2012 anti-military
I thought that General Nick Parket did rather well in this interview with the BBC this morning. In true patriot style, the BBC narrative was to get the General to "admit" that all those lost military lives in Sangin were in vain and now we are retreating, leaving it to the Americans. The BBC appears to loath our Armed Forces and never misses an opportunity to try and diminish them. For that alone, it deserves to be axed.

Dear Mr Moat,
if on the chance you get the chance to read this I wish to inform you that the bBC's Middle Eastern editor was having an affair with you ex.
Pounce the concerned.
Jack Bauer says:
Pounce,
Classic !!!!
Hi DV, I didn't find anything overtly untoward in the interview, although the approach should be different, and when I was growing up in the 70's the BBC had a different approach to conflicts such as N. Ireland: It was about we need to win this to defeat terrorism and unequivocal support and empathy for our troops putting their lives on the line for their country. Our troops in N. Ireland had no doubt that the country was behind them and thinking about them by the coverage the BBC gave. Within these parameters that any democratic broadcaster should have, coverage was objective.
What stands out in Afghanistan – or would if the BBC covered the campaign objectively – is that many of our US Coalition partners in ISAF such as Spain and Germany are ducking their responsibilities and leaving British, US and other allied serviceman to take the vast brunt of the casualties.
This is a disgrace and outrage that the BBC should be onto like a dog with a bone, but they barely pay it lipservice. Instead they're looking to constantly snipe and undermine our deployment there.
Obscene.
Afghanistan is winnable to protect our security. Its absolutely critical that we do if we're to avoid a whole string of 9/11's across the free world. If so many of our fairweather allies were shamed into pulling their weight, on the propaganda as well as military fronts, we would have a crushing victory over Islamic terrorism within no time.
For the type of people who now have their hands on the BBC, that is like a nightmare to them that they will do all they can to prevent. I'm not saying they want Islamic terrorism to win, but they dont want to see us defeat it. To defeat it we need the type of values that the BBC loathe. They'd much rather see a bloody stalemate till we fully embrace the values of cultural Marxism and reach an accommodation with terrorist Islam centred on giving them free rein to wipe out Israel. They're on the way to achieving their dhimmi dystopia.
The BBC were pushing this line yesterday. One exception was Andrew Neil on the Daily Politics who really tore into Jim Murphy for his governments lack of support for our troops, especially. Murphy accused Brillo of "besmirching" the troops, either because he didn't understand what Brillo said or deliberately confusing the two issues.
Brillo almost exploded ! I thought he was going to physically attack Murphy. He made the point that he was attacking Murphy's government, not the military and he knows a bit about it as his father was an Army major.
Murphy backed down quickly.
Really , what on earth would we do without Andrew Neil on the BBC ?
Andrew Neill is one reason for hope that impartiality might yet be restored to the BBC.
John Anderson says:
I'll say again – the only way I can see the BBC restoring political impartiality is to appoint Andrew Neil as DG – or as editor in chief, which is what the DG role used to be.
Neil has the clarity of mind and political nous, plus management experience, to know what impartiality means – to be able to crack down real hard on miscreants, and to tighten up the entire BBC news effort.
Hippie and John,
Quite agree. Andrew Neil is one of the few journalists who has a grip on reality. If the government are serious, they would appoint him as BBC DG and get rid of that useless muppet, Thompson.
I'm really surprised at this article. For years now the left (and Islamic world) have been telling the West to get out of Afghanistan. That peace will only come about with the withdrawal of Western troops. So why the duplicity in bitching about what you claim is a British withdrawal. Isn't that what everybody wishes for?
But the fact of the matter, this isn't a withdrawal and to anybody who has been keeping their ear to the ground they would know that with the actual withdrawal of Canadian troops from Afghanistan next year troops have to be found in which to cover the area they are currently in charge of . Add the fact of the Obama mini surge of troops to Afghanistan of which the target area is Helmand then it makes military sense in which or relocate British troop s to Kandahar (the current Canadian area of responsibility) and allow one single nation to run with Helmand. Which simplifies matters such as resupply, communications, state of purpose and the chain of command.
What really gets my goat is how the anti-western crowd are crying out "This has been all in vain" do so not in any real concern of the deaths that have transpired but rather in which to promote their message of "All troops out" by proclaiming they all died in vain. This angle is given further leverage by the likes of the bBC by omitting any negative viewpoints about the Taliban. Such as blowing up schools, killing road workers and the like. Act of which are enacted on a daily basis in Afghanistan yet from the coverage provided by the bBC you are given the impression that only NATO (ISAF) is killing innocent people.
Of course the irony is that the left supported the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Now the use that failure as evidence that the coalition will fail. Never pointing out that the Russians were a conscript army ,
poorly equipped, poorly led and with low morale.
How many casualties did the Russians suffer ?
"they use " should read.
To answer my own question, after a bit of googling, the Soviets own figures suggest about 14000 killed and 300-350 helicopters lost. So you can double that to get close to the real figure.
Umbongo says:
Er . . did anyone notice that, effectively, 7/7 has been excised from the BBC's memory? Yesterday there was a small item on BBC1 London News (at 10:30 pm) and, AFAIAA, that was it. The dreaded words "Islam" and "Moslem", let alone "terrorist", were not used. I assume it all just "happened" and that 4 bombs found their way into London and blew themselves up after a row with the local rabbi. The BBC did devote some of its scarce resources to tell us
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/leeds/10535443.stm
that there was an event at a Leeds mosque to mark the bombings.

BBC = BIN AND BYPASS COMPLAINTS
David Preiser (USA) says:
The BBC doesn't hate the military, per se. It's more a childish, emotion-based outlook which has little connection to reality. They've raised the bar of success so high over the years, that at this point the death of one soldier equals total failure.
Spoiled children today don't like feeling bad about anything. There's a complete absence of perspective of what's actually happening, and of history. The only history these anti-this war Beeboid knows about the region is that the Russians lost and that the British had a difficult time of it generations ago. But there is no grasp of the history of wars and how they work. Things break.
Today's Beeboids don't even realize that their attitudes would have required them to want all the occupying troops out of Germany and Japan after WWII. Come to think of it, everyone objecting to the invasion and subsequent war in Afghanistan would have equally to object to the UK's participation in the Pacific Theater in WWII. Japan was no more threat to the British then than the Taliban are now, according to their knowledge and understanding of the world.
It's all emotion-based; no rational thinking involved. This makes them feel bad, so it must be bad and should stop. That's as much depth as there is to it, I think.
I should also add that the Beeboids are really ignorant of military affairs. This is the same astute international news organization which thought it was possibly a controversial big deal that UK troops would be working under US command for a while as part of NATO operations. They had no idea that this kind of thing is common, as it's basically how NATO's chain of command is set up. But the Beeboids didn't know, and scared up a non-story about it.
While at some level I think this is the case, I think overall you are being over generous to the BBC. What motivates their coverage overall in my view is overriding ill-will to the cause of western values.
Yes , the idea that the coalition troops today are equivalent to the Soviets or British in the 19th century is ludicrous , but pushed relentlessly by the scum at the BBC , who , as Hippie says, just hate western values, while at the same time reaping all the benefits. Beeboids are truly the pits of the earth.
Actually the BBC were very quiet about the disgraceful way the one eyed mong treated our soldiers over the last 13 years.
They were sent into Iraq and Afghanistan badly under equipped and under strength.
Cameron is doing the right thing in my view, Afghanistan can't be saved, it's a shithole. I also don't see why we're there. Where is Bin liner? In Pakistan probably.
Who gives a shit if girls don't get educated in Afghanistan? Women are treated like shit in every Muzzie Country. The BBC fail to point this out.
If we know where Bin Liner is just drop a frigging nuke on it, I don't have a problem with that.
Our real threat comes from the shit holes of Bradford, Leeds, Blackburn, Burnley, Manchester, Birmingham and so on.
We are taking out 1000 soldiers and the yanks are putting in 18,000. Why? Because they know that you need such huge numbers to provide not only effective forces but sufficient numbers for self defence as well.
I've never understood our tactics out there. Our troops go out with a few Afghan idiots with AK-47's. They wonder around a few deserted villages and wait to get ambushed, they eventually do, end up having to take cover whilst a 2000lb bomb is dropped on some empty field, before the Taliban simply bury their guns, get a taxi and go home.
What the hell is that supposed to achieve? It's not the fault of the soldiers but the pathetic way our politicians have tried to fight a war without killing anyone.
If someone can bring the severed head of Bin Liner and stick outside the tower of London I will call THAT success, anything less is a joke.
Do you think we're there so that Bin Laden doesn't come back? Seems a very good reason for being there to me, for however much we're fighting the war half-cocked.
Thing is wwe're not hunting Alky Ada, we're building schools. I want Alky Ada killed I don't want soldiers dying for a few bricks.
The Taliban were removed from Afghanistan by paying off war lords, aerial bombing and special forces. Why all of a sudden do we need to start building schools?
dave s says:
Martin you are correct. The neocon/liberal view of war is that it needs to be "constructive" I think they appease their consciences that way. Build schools, create democratic institutions etc. War is an unpleasant dirty business and the only reason to go to war is to win.
Now we could quite simply withdraw from Afghanistan. Allow whoever wants to run that country in their own way but , and this is the critical point, use our vastly superior firepower and technology to devastate the country if it ever steps out of line again without ever putting a single man on the ground
No aid no nothing just let them be but for their sakes they must learn to leave the West well alone.
It would never suit the neocons and the libleft would be horrified but it might well be the only answer. The Taliban would have to make a choice. Run the country as they see fit in peace or suffer the consequences of any hostile act.
Nation building is a critical part of making sure Afghanistan is a functional state that wont see the return of those vermin. However, this aspect of the War against [Islamic] Terrorism has obscured the fact that our first reason for being there is to protect our security. If the Afghans prove to feckless and dissolute to be able to help them to build a nation, then just occupy it using the ruthlessness necessary. Unfortunately, public opinion just isn't prepared for such an approach. Would that Liam Fox was Tory leader, not Cameron.
I want Alky Ada killed I don't want soldiers dying for a few bricks.
I absolutely agree. Army is there to kill people and break things.
We have successive governments who seem to think the military is an off-shot of Meals On Wheels and the Social Frackin' Services.
We were asked by our American allies to join them destroying al- kayda after they plotted the murder of 3000 people on 9/11, while Bin Laden was holed up in Shitistan. I supported that effort. It's what you do when friends ask for help.
That meant smashing the Taliban. Somewhere down the line, that turned into a fatuous nation building exercise.
President Bush should have levelled the country. And left with the warning, do it again and we'll come back and leave this place a radioactive wilderness for the next 5000 years.
"Our real threat comes from the shit holes of Bradford, Leeds, Blackburn, Burnley, Manchester, Birmingham and so on. "
Exactly. Hasn't a recent report just confirmed this? And if we actually reform Afghanistan, how do we ensure that it stays 'reformed', given the lack of control we seem to have over parts of our own towns and cities?
I am quite sympathetic with your view , and realise you have a military background which I don't. Also Hippie makes some good points. I rather agree that for whatever reason we are there, if we have to stay, the allies have to be totally ruthless, including with the Afghan government.
Anyone else catch my mate Sheena Easton the BBC news? Well nice to see he's no longer just parroting Government propaganda as fact, shame it had to take a Tory Government to be elected to stop sheena doing that!!!
So let's get this right, the Government have done away with Police powers that 'might' have been used to harass Muzzie's or blacks, so you'd think this was a good idea in the eyes of the BBC? Er no, we get Sheena sneering about no longer being safe because of it followed by a Liebour sond bite (so two anti Tory views)
But wait! Where was Shami? Imagine if this had been the other way around and the Tories were planning to toughen up Police powers and Sheena thought Muzzie's would be targeted by this, they'd have Shami on the BBC 24/7 but today she's MIA
"SHAMI SHAMI SHAMI..where are thee"
Oh and nice to see ITV news covering the barbaric torture of a Muslim woman in that bastion of freedom Iran. As ITV called it "Medievil" something we tend to hear a lot away from the BBC when describing Islam.
Yet over at the BBC zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I thought the government was forced to change the law because of some European Court ruling. If so, that should be the big story at the BBC.
OK time for me to eat humble pie. Simon Mayo, come back all is forgiven.
Richard Bacon, a man (just) who is so camp he makes Louis Spencer (or whatever his name is) look like a real man is just SO CRAP on Radio 5.
Bacon really is a himbo he no intellect at all, is obsessed with 3rd rate celebrities (and assumes we are as well) and his interviews of gays is just so fawning.
There I said it, come back Simon Mayo!!!
Fortunately, living in Spain, I dont have to endure Richard Bacon. I did Mayo though. Whew, if that's how you feel, Bacon must be bad of the richter scale.
He's got the right politics though. Key to a future at the BBC.
Tory MP Uneasy as BBC "Spreads Taliban Propaganda'
"Many years ago during the Gulf War, I accused the BBC of being the Baghdad broadcasting corporation," he told MPs.
"I am very concerned that there is now a similar situation with the Taliban, in that they are getting far too high a profile."
H/T Melanie P
About time the BBC was rapped over this. They love creeping to terrorists everywhere for juicy quotes.
John Horne Tooke says:
"But Dr Fox told the Bosworth MP in the Commons that it was "good counsel" for the BBC to use "reasonable language" and have "balanced" views when discussing the issue."
So what is he saying? That the BBC is balanced?
On the whole I think he is saying 'Yeah, I think the BBC are a bunch of twats who need a good kicking but I can't say so out loud 'cos my leader is a bit of a twat as well'.
Hippie,
Ha ! Yes, I can't believe Liam Fox is so stupid as to not know what the BBC is up to.

The privacy issues of this could be avoided if the officers have a NFC device that reads the ID just like a credit card terminal does with Apple Pay. They don't get possession of your phone locked or unlocked. They get a valid copy of your ID which they are entitled to.
btrach144
Yes, but a warrant is different than being pulled over on the side of the road and they ask for "license, registration and insurance card"....so you are going to hand them you locked iPhone to take back to their patrol car?.....I don't think so! Plus Apple is going to mess with iPhone security?...allowing 3rd party apps to be installed directly without the Apple app store? No f'n way
Paying with Apple Pay can be done without unlocking your entire phone, so I assume it's going to be similar. Only the ID will be unlocked.
steve knight
it should not take unlocking your phone though. double click the power button to bring it up in wallet?

I see, thanks. Hmm. Apple should make a quick way to disable FaceID/TouchID.

This is convenient, but I see privacy issues coming up for this...
i.e. we have to present ID to the police, but as of now, they cannot force us to give phone password. So what do you do?

Women in ISS & the future of women in space
Khadija Ouajjani
After years of progression the ISS is no longer an all-male enclave.
Women aboard the ISS now carry out regular maintenance checks, space walks, medical tests and there have also been a number of femal mission commanders.
Women, fertility and space travel are now heavily integrated as the human race looks beyond the Earth.
In one mission Peggy Whitson travelled 122 million miles, orbited the Earth 4623 times and spent 288 days in space.
The International Space Station is perhaps the most visual success in the world of space exploration. It is one of the few locations in space where we, as a specie, are represented with both men and women. More precisely, the story of women working in the International Space Station is a rich and interesting one. As of the ASCAN Class of 2009, out of the 330 who have been accepted into the astronaut candidate program, 48 were females. While the number is still relatively low, it is much better compared to the progression rate of other disciplines.
Women in ISS
The ISS took many years to construct and was finally fully functional in 1986. By then several women had already been into space: the first one was Valentina Tereshkova, flying on Vostok6 with the Soviet/Russian nation. In March 2001, the American Susan Jane Helms was the first woman to stay at the International Space Station. She was part of the ISS Expedition 2, the second crew to inhabit the International Space Station. From March to August, she and her fellow astronauts conducted tests with the Canadian-made Space Station Robotic arm – SSRMS – such as internal and external maintenance tasks as well as medical ones. Helms had a successful career in the military (Air Force) and a strong engineering orientation. She took part in five missions, combining a total of 5064 hours in space, and achieved a world record for Extra-Vehicular Activity, commonly known as a spacewalk, of 8 hours and 56 minutes.
In January 2008, Peggy Whitson, Expedition 16 commander was the first female commander in the ISS. Her first mission was a seven hour shift with a colleague to replace an engine at the base of one of the station's solar wings. In September 2017, she returned from an expedition during which she conducted a 288-day mission, travelled 122.2 million miles and carried out 4,623 orbits of the Earth – breaking several world records. Aged 57, she became the world's oldest spacewoman as well as the most experienced female spacewalker with 10 outings. Whitson also stayed the longest in space, with a record of 665 days compared to other women astronauts. The "American Space Ninja", is a biochemist who conducted research on the physical changes on human body in space as well as stem cell research. There is no doubt that the number of women in ISS in years to come will grow as a consquence of her success and the example she set not only women but also men.
Future of women in ISS
Since Lieutenant General Helms, over 60 women have been part of the NASA program and space expeditions, holding high risk and challenging positions. Sunita Williams was the second woman commander for Expedition 33. Eileen Collins, Susan Still and Pamela Ann Melroy were pilots of several STS and missions now include more women. The record for women in ISS at any one time is four which occured during space flight STS-131: Dorothy Metcalf-Lindeburger, Stephanie Wilson, Naoko Yamazaki and Tracy Caldwell Dyson were present on the ISS for the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) transfer, EVA and maintenance tasks.
Classes of 2009, 2013 and 2017 account for many women trained and ready to be part of the next expedition. By now, the impact of space exploration over the physical body is no longer a cause of concern, which was the main issue when NASA launched its first call for candidates. A perception that women might bleed to death or become infertile due to spaceflights had initially influenced the agency for decades, before this myth was eventually dismantled. In fact, China's space program welcomed married women who had given birth, on one hand accounting to the maturity and psychological resilience wives have, as well as dealing with the risk of infertility. Many astronauts have gone on to have children of their own and lead a normal life.
Fertility in space is something that needs to be addressed as soon as possible, regardless of the cost. If humankind as a race is to move between planets then survival, immediate and through procreation, will need to be planned ahead in great detail.

The RWANDA CLOTHING fashion brand was founded in 2010 by Joselyne Umutoniwase, born 1987 in Kigali.
Joselyne is a fashion Designer, film director and editor and has worked in the Rwandan film industry for five years until 2011 due to the lack of possibilities in Rwanda at that time of making a living with designing fashion. Now she works as the most successful fashion designer in Kigali.
Joselyne started working as a professional fashion designer in 2010 when she created her first collection of RWANDA CLOTHING. In September 2010 she was invited as one of the most important Rwandan female filmmakers by the German government and the German film director Volker Schlöndorff to participate in a scholarship program in Berlin and Mainz. With two bags full of her fashion creations she then traveled to Germany to also present and sell her RWANDA CLOTHING there. After three months in Germany she had sold her whole collection and met people working in the German fashion business who were immediately fascinated by her natural talent as a designer and her creative works. But that time she was still not sure if she really would be able to work as a designer and was first of all very intimidated by the European fashion scene even though people in Germany loved what she had created as her first collection.
Back in Rwanda in December 2010 and motivated by her success in Europe, she started designing her second collection with the money she had earned in Germany and sold her RWANDA CLOTHING also in Kigali. "I then wanted to know if also people in my home country like my designs. And they did as well!".
One year later in December 2011, after having worked half time as a semi-professional fashion designer and half time in her former profession as a filmmaker for documentaries and short films, she again traveled to Europa and this time she went to Paris and was so caught and inspirited by the fashion scene there that she then finally decided to end her carrier in film business and to live her dream of being a fashion designer and to spend her full time and energy to become the first Rwandan fashion producer who sells clothing made in Rwanda international successfully.
Returning from Paris, where she also got new inspiration and ideas for her 2012 collection of RWANDA CLOTHING which she wanted now to create as a full time fashion designer, she founded her company RWANDA CLOTHING HOME Ltd. with Roman Schulz in Rwanda in February 2012 and finally became the first professional female fashion designer with an own fashion brand in Rwanda. That time no Rwandan woman was doing fashion in Rwanda professionally.
Joselyne decided to become a fashion designer because of her love for fashion. She says about herself that she has been a clothing designer for almost her whole life. But did not know that this can become a real profession of hers one day. In the end it was exactly this love and passion for fashion that made her decision to become a designer.
It was then when she was around fifteen years old when she really started creating clothing from the scratch and it was that time she started to realize that she had talent. But it took longer until she created a real fashion collection and that she considered herself as a "designer". Almost eight years from then on.
Also visiting Europe and getting insights in the fashion industry there, crucially influenced and inspired her to become a part of the international fashion industry as well. "In the beginning it was just a wish to work as a designer. But later it became so crucial for me and such a strong need that I had no other choice but becoming a fashion designer. So I gave up working as a filmmaker. But I still have good contacts to the industry in Rwanda. I am still somehow into film business. But I never regretted quitting. Fashion is just my life – it's like this. And life is the greatest inspiration in fashion for me. I love to travel to different countries and see people's style. I read books, magazines and everything I can find in the Internet what got something to do with fashion and I take into consideration things I like to wear myself. I combine all the details and then I create." says Joselyne.
Like Joselyne herself describes her way of working, also we at RWANDA CLOTHING share her opinion and describe her talent and personality as follows: "At RWANDA CLOTHING we believe that no one can expect to become a good fashion designer just by participating in a education program or by working with other designers. Someone has to have very specific interests and an existing creative talent and most important social skills which make you capable of knowing what others like to wear. But these given talents can be developed, shaped and improved. Further we all believe that Joselyne already has developed, shaped and improved her tremendous talents as a fashion designer. Most of us at RWANDA CLOTHING had never worked here in Rwanda with such professionalism and passion when creating clothing before Joselyne came and gave us a job in her company. Her performances also in terms of motivating coworkers and customers to try out new things is exceptional. We now believe we have to cross boundaries and be more innovative and inspired then the rest of the market.


I'm thinking of putting my 2005 Mainship on a lift, most likely a 30,000 lb one. Some of the lift manufacturers have expresses concerns on this particular model.
Has anyone done this, or does anyone know of any issues?
Looking forward to getting the boat out of the saltwater.
Also going to post this on the Mainship Yahoo group also.
Anyone familiar with issues in putting trawlers on lifts?
I've had my MS 400 on a lift twice with no problems. My marina lifted it without any concerns. What are the issues? We had none.
I know the manufacturer states a weight around 25k for your boat but be warned that they tend to gain weight off the showroom floor.
My Mainship is advertised @ 14k but most examples weigh in @ or just over 20k. I'd be surprised if you're not very near 30,000lbs.
I would look for a higher capacity travel lift to do the lifting. You boat weighs at a minimum 25,000 lbs and as noted above may be pushing 30,000. In the heavy construction industry we never lifted anything at more than 80% of capacity.
But having said that lifting with a travel lift is simple and easy as long as the capacity is great enough and they position the slings at the lift points that Mainship specifies- usually with little decals on the sides below the rub rail.
It is much safer than other forms of boat lifting, particularly cradle elevator systems that are hard to position right.
I think he is asking about storing his boat on a dock lift, long term, not being hauled out by a travel lift for bottom work.
I'm not super sure, but I think the potential pitfalls are different for each scenario.
I do know that it's going to take a man sized lift for a MS 400, but I've seen bigger boats on lifts, so it's certainly possible.
I'm talking about a permanent bunk lift, not an occasional travel life.
I've talked with some of the lift manufacturers and getting some info (including the ones mentioned above).
Just curious if anyone has done this with a Mainship.
And, yes, boats get fat over time. Wonder if there's a simple way to weigh them?
Some Travel Lifts have scales built in, if you ever hauled at a yard with a relatively new lift they may have even recorded weight.
Why do you want a lift?
I think boats like being in the water, its what they were designed to do, float. Every time you take her up or down she's twisting and wracking, an SD hull is not an FD hull. Once a year for haul, no big deal, but on a regular basis?
I have nothing to support this, just a fan of Keep It Simple. A lift is just one more complex system to maintain.
Wonder if there's a simple way to weigh them?
Lots of reasons.... keep it clean, access to the bottom, check or replace thru hulls, fix thrusters, etc. Eliminate bottom paint every 1 to 2 years, eliminate most of the bottom cleanings.
Ah, dockside bunk lifts. I get it now.
Well, there are a few things I would check to be sure it is safe.
The manufacturer says it is good for 30,000 lbs. Does that include the bunks? Your bunks will weigh at least 2,000 lbs. Check the cable ratings. Most lifts use 8 lift points: one on each corner and a two part lift on each corner. I would want at least 6,000 lb cable breaking strength, a safety factor of 1.5:1, which requires 5/16" wire rope.
A newer Travel Lift might give you accurate weight with their built in load cells. But after a few years they go bad and many lift operators don't fix them.
Do you plan to ride out a hurricane on the lift? Wind forces will be tremendous on the boat, much less wave action if the surge gets up to the hull. That means you probably want to be able to lift 10' to be over most hurricane surge. That may be unwieldy.
Most lifts here on the canals of Punta Gorda use at most 9' exposed piles which only lets you lift 7'. So you would need 12' piles to have a decent chance of riding out a hurricane. I would double up the standard 4 piles to 8 to withstand the wind/wave forces of a hurricane.
And it won't be cheap, at least $20,000.
An alternate may be to keep the boat in the water and use the TideSlide system. It still would require 12' exposed piles and I would set three large diameter piles to use with three TideSlides. If these piles were tied back to the shore side or a parallel conventional dock, they should be able to withstand the hurricane forces. You don't need to worry about tidal surge (up to a point!) with the TideSlide system.
You could probably install a three pile TideSlide system for $7,000 including piles.
It sounds seductive to have your boat on the lift for the reasons you mentioned. I keep my boat in the water and my neighbor keeps his on the lift. I probably jump on my boat 2-3 times a week for maintenance, checking on things, etc, even though I take it out only once a week at most. I would spend 5 minutes up and down each time I boarded if on the lift like my neighbor does.
Think about the convenience factor of keeping the boat in the water vs the cost of bottom jobs and an occasional non planned haulout, vs a bunch of bucks to install a suitable lift system.
I agree. Boat hulls are designed to be supported by water, not by lifting bunks. There are no engineers out there who know how to properly cradle your boat on a lift. Also, your antifouling paint needs to stay wet...and soaking in brine prevents rot, so a briney bilge is a healthy bilge. People get obsessed about the green stuff on their bronze seacocks and such, but it's totally harmless. Personally, I have seen more freshwater boats go to to the crusher prematurely than salt water boats, because rotten stringers mostly are a result of freshwater in the bilge. Keep her wet and salty, and she'll be happy.
This was my exact thought. All the boats I've seen on lifts don't have any antifouling paint on them. If you look at most manufacturers paints there is a minimum time between painting and splashing. If not repainted after a dry-out them some will call for a light sanding to remove the outer 'oxidized' (for lack of a better term) skin and 'reactivate' the paint.
I think you'd have to find a specific paint that would allow for repeated drying out without some intervention before launch.
If you keep your boat on a lift you don't paint the bottom. That's one of the benefits.
I have purchased a 24000 lbs lift from a person who is upgrading to a heaver boat and lift. We plan to use it at our dock for our 32 NT. You have to remember that down here we have no need to take our boats out of service in the winter, so if we lift it out of the water we save $ on paint, we save $ on haul outs, and you dont have to worry about it taking on water while we are away. On our canal there are several 44+' motorsailers, and plaining boats on lifts. Boats up north are using boats stands on the hard for months every year. I can't think of any reason a lift would be any different. Boat lift in this area are highly sought after.
Here is one of the motorsailors on a large lift.
If you have an ablative paint it does not have to stay in the water.
Exactly... you just need to read mfg specs and use recommendations. I'm in FW but use a multi season ablative and most years do nothing or minor touch up. Works just fine.
i am a mainship 40 owner. had prior boat on 33000 pound capacity lift. had to remove lift due to shoaling at dock and prevented (permits) to move config into deeper water. it can handle 24k mainship. on ebay for sale...totally refirbished after sandy.


I just installed oscommerce and, full disclosure, I know next to nothing about this sort of thing. I just really need an easy-to-use online store! The installation went fine, but when I go to the URL (mywebsite.com/shoponline) it redirects to mywebsite.com/shoponline/web, which doesn't exist. I have to type in index.php in place of web to get to it. Why is it doing this and how can I change it?


Bikavér or Bull's Blood in English, is a blend that is only allowed to be made in two Hungarian wine regions; Eger and Szekszárd. Both regions have their differences and influences on the wine but we will not talk about that today!
This one hails from Eger, a wine region in the North-East of Hungary. It's generally known for its cool climate due to the cold air coming in from the north but lucky enough it gets nicely protected by a small mountain called Bükk (it's about 950 meters).
St. Andrea is one of my all time favorite wine cellars and is also one of the oldest in Hungary. It is one of the wineries I tell every new Hungarian wine enthusiast to visit. Not only the wines are superb but the kindness and explanations you get are a blessing.
Hangács is the name of the Vineyard, they have about 17 hectares and its located in a small village called Demjén. It's about 220 meters at it's highest point and most of it is facing south. There is a small layer of clay in the soil. St. Andrea has a variety of grapes grown in the Hangács vineyards; Kékfrankos, Kadarka; Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Turán, Hárslevelű, Leányka, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon blanc.
Must contain at least five varieties of which 30-50% must be Kékfrankos. The other proportions can not be under 5% and not above 30% with the exception for Turán and Biborkadarka which can not exceed above 5% together or alone.
Hangács 2015 is made out of; 30% Kékfrankos, 28% Cabernet Franc, 18% merlot, 14 Pinot Noir and 10% Kadarka. The harvest was done between 18 September and 23 October, it was aged in oak barrels for 19 months and bottled in the beginning of July 2017. The climate was rather continental with cold winter and hot summer.
The bottles optimal consumption would have been two to ten years after bottling so July 2019 but due to a series of unfortunate events this one ended open (One of the selected bottles with the food was corked, so I grabbed the first Hangács I saw not looking at the vintage till it was too late!). On the positive side this wine is very enjoyable already and will get even better with time (like every Hangács I've tasted so far).
The wine has a nice purple color. A nice and medium + intensive nose with very nice notes of red fruit like red cherry and raspberries. There is some vanilla with little hints of tobacco and cloves.
The wine is very juicy with a nice but slightly higher acidity and the tannins are still not in place which I think will come with time. You can also find back the fruitiness with red cherries being quite dominant.
The wine is drinkable now and definitely has potential to age, as the winemaker also said.
The bottle costs about 5500 Hungarian forints which is just under 20 euros.


In this day and age, almost everyone owns a smartphone, even kids! As as this tech era is on its peak, it is very normal to take selfies.
Selfie is the term you use when you take your own photo by yourself. Thus the name. Everyone do it. It seems like a normal and harmless thing to do. But little did we know that sometimes, selfies can cause lice to be transferred to another person.
Parents should be aware of this especially that kids nowadays love to take selfies. Kids are the often victim and carrier of lice and it is best to have a homeopathic lice treatment always ready in your home.
Although head lice treatment can be bought over-the-counter, parents should be aware that there are treatments that are very dangerous to use. You don't want your kids to have the same faith as this girl.
It is always best to use a homeopathic treatment that is made of natural ingredients and is safe to use on kids.
Children who uses smartphone is said to be twice as much to get head lice compared to those who don't.
According to experts, today's selfie culture is the one to blame. Children loves to huddle with each other when they watch videos online or when taking a selfie.
Head lice can be transferred by close head-to-head contact. It was reported that the number of head lice case in Queensland is increasing, according to News.
According to a British study, they found out that 62% of children who uses tablet and smartphone are much likely to pick up head lice, compared to 30% who didn't own technology.
"We have teenagers with their heads touching to pose for selfies, much more than we've seen previously, it's making the lice problem a problem a lot more widespread," said Michael Lawless from Lice Clinics Australia.
If ever you see your child scratching his head, there is a possibility that he has already head lice. The best way to know is to check for it.

US Ecology (ECOL) Q4 Earnings Lag Estimates
February 25, 2022, 7:25 a.m. ·3 min read
US Ecology (ECOL) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.13 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.25 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.19 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -48%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this radioactive and hazardous waste services company would post earnings of $0.19 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.22, delivering a surprise of 15.79%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
US Ecology , which belongs to the Zacks Waste Removal Services industry, posted revenues of $261.43 million for the quarter ended December 2021, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.97%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $241.07 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
US Ecology shares have added about 49.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of -10%.
What's Next for US Ecology?
While US Ecology has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for US Ecology: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.10 on $244 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.74 on $1.03 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Waste Removal Services is currently in the top 40% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Montrose Environmental (MEG), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended December 2021. The results are expected to be released on February 28.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.07 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +153.9%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Montrose Environmental's revenues are expected to be $122.23 million, up 12.4% from the year-ago quarter.

It's does 0-to-60 mph in just 1.5 seconds!
They may not have the same appeal as actual track-day racers like the Ariel Atom, BAC Mono, or KTM X-Bow, but go-karts can be as fun to drive as any of these high-priced machines, and the cost of doing so doesn't run as high. So, it's with great excitement that I present the Daymak C5 Blast Ultimate go-kart, dubbed as the fastest of its kind in the world.
So, how fast is the C5 Blast Ultimate exactly? According to its maker Daymak, the C5 Blast Ultimate can hit 60 mph in just 1.5 seconds. By comparison, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon can cover the same ground in 2.3 seconds while the Porsche 918 Spyder can do the same in 2.4 seconds. In other words, prepare to make that Jeremy Clarkson face when you're riding this devil of a machine. The prototype go-kart may not look like a speed demon by its appearance, but it comes with 24 kWh lithium battery that powers a 48-volt brushless DC motor and 12 (yes, 12!) - Electric Ducted Fan (EDF) motors that are each powered by a 5000mAH battery. Daymak doesn't say how much power the powertrain releases, but if it can hit 60 mph from a standstill position faster than it takes for me to type two words from my keyboard, this go-kart is something that's worth keeping an eye on.
I know that the Daymak C5 Blast Ultimate doesn't fall in the exact same category as the likes of the Ariel Atom, BAC Mono, and KTM X-Bow, but indulge me for a second and look at how these three racers compare to the go-kart in terms of speed.
By sheer force of acceleration alone, the C5 Blast Ultimate would already be wolfing down a handful of french fries by the time the Atom 3S and Mono track cars hit 60 mph. That's insane levels of speed that borders on actually being downright scary, especially for a car that's as open to the elements as this go-kart. Take a look at it. There are no roll cages in there to help you when you lose control of the car. It does have hydraulic rear disc brakes to help keep the go-kart from becoming completely untameable.
In case anybody's interested in seeing for themselves how fast the C5 Blast Ultimate is, Daymak is asking $59,999 for it. That's a lot cheaper than the $89,975 Ariel is asking for the Atom 3S here in the U.S. and the $88,000 or so KTM is asking for the X-Bow. Still, if the price is a little steep for your liking, Daymak does have a cheaper alternative in the C5 Blast Standard. It only costs $9,999, but with a 3.9-second acceleration time, it is significantly slower than its Ultimate counterpart. Then again, "slower" in this instance is a matter of semantics, because with that time, it's still going to make your stomach turn.

The Syrian Democratic Forces spokesman Mustafa Bali tweeted the offensive began on Saturday after more than 20,000 civilians were evacuated from the Isis-held area in the eastern province of Deir ez-Zor. An SDF statement said the offensive was focused on the village of Baghuz.
The SDF, backed by US air power, has driven Isis from large swaths of territory it once controlled in northern and eastern Syria, confining the extremists to a small pocket of land near the border with Iraq.
Scores of Isis fighters are now besieged in two villages, or less than 1% of the self-styled caliphate that once sprawled across large parts of Syria and Iraq. In recent weeks, thousands of civilians, including families of Isis fighters, left the area controlled by the extremists.
The US president, Donald Trump, predicted on Wednesday that Isis will have lost all of its territory by next week.
"It should be formally announced some time, probably next week, that we will have 100% of the caliphate," Trump told representatives of the 79-member coalition fighting Isis.

It's fall. And in the Noel home, that means it is time for all the soup. I found some gnocchi at Trader Joes and was planning to make my bestie's chicken and gnocchi soup. I decided to make a soup that even my vegan guy could enjoy (I did use homemade chicken broth though). I found this delicious soup online and made a few adjustments based on what I had in my pantry. It was so easy and so delicious. We were eating the leftovers for days, and if you know me, then you know I don't do leftovers that much.
Add some good crusty bread and a delicious apple dessert and this would be a perfect meal to serve to friends, or even take to some friends who have just had a baby.
Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Chop ½ cup basil; if you have more, slice it thinly and reserve for a garnish. Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat. Saute the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and basil for 1 minute. Add the chickpeas, red pepper flakes, broth, tomatoes and their juices, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and several grinds of fresh pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the green beans, then simmer for 15 minutes.
Break apart any clumps in the gnocchi, then add them to the pot and cook for 5 minutes until tender. Turn off the heat and stir in the spinach until wilted, about 1 minute.
To serve, ladle soup into bowl and top with Parmesan and basil leaves if desired. Allow to cool slightly before diving in!
I am not kidding when I say that this dish will be made repeatedly this fall and winter, and if I offer to bring you dinner, it will probably be this.

With the tremendous changes that occurred in the past few years and the dramatic transformations in the business models at all levels, the PCA had to adapt by creating new dynamics that tackled successfully the new Lebanese ICT business paradigm From "Termium" (the leading ICT exhibition in the Levant) to the "Golden Chip Awards" and from "the Strategy for e-Lebanon" the PCA has consistently addressed business, community and policy issues baring in mind two simple things: the National Interest and the Members Interest.
We are looking forward to building one technology community to shape the industry future.
