Sports fans will remember Taylor Martinez, the senior quarterback for the Nebraska Huskers, who suffered a debilitating injury near the ball of his left foot in early November 2013 that left him out of the entire season.
He now is preparing for workouts in front of NFL scouts and coaches. He plans to be 100 percent for Nebraska's pro-day in March.
Wrongly diagnosed as turf toe for many weeks, we can finally attach a medical term to Taylor Martinez's foot injury that changed the course of Nebraska's football season.
Dr. Mark Quist, a podiatrist of Carolina Foot and Ankle, diagnosed Martinez after the season. He described Taylor's injury as a "plantar plate tear" of the second metatarsophalangeal joint, or "2nd MPJ," in his left foot. In layman's terms, this is a torn ligament in the foot. His treatment has consisted of physical therapy, immobilization with a leg walker, injections, inserts and medications. He is no longer having pain plantarly, but the injury has left his 2nd MPJ in an elevated state, which can make the joint more vulnerable to capsulitis, tendinitis and metatarsalgia.
Even though Taylor Martinez suffered his tear with an injury, women over the age of 50 are frequently affected with ligament tears due to predisposing anatomic factors which include a congenitally long metatarsal, usually of the second toe; hallux valgus, a bunion; and joint hypermobility. Wearing shoes with high heels and/or a restrictive, narrow toe-box is a common contributor.
To diagnose a plantar plate tear, an x-ray and subsequent magnetic resonance imaging will be ordered by your podiatrist.
There are many bones and ligaments in your foot. A ligament is strong, flexible tissue that holds bones together.
When the foot lands awkwardly, some ligaments can stretch and tear. This is called a sprain. When the injury occurs to the middle part of the foot, this is called a foot sprain.
Most foot sprains happen due to sports or activities in which your body twists and pivots but your feet stay in place. Some of these sports include football, snowboarding and dance.
Minor: You have small tears in the ligaments.
Moderate: You have large tears in the ligaments.
Severe: The ligaments have completely torn from the bone.
Symptoms of a tear include pain, bruising and swelling. Pain is increased when walking or doing activity. Not being able to put weight on your foot usually happens with more severe injuries.
If it is painful to put weight on your foot, your doctor may give you a splint or crutches to use while your foot heals.
Most minor-to-moderate injuries will heal within two to four weeks. More severe injuries, such as injuries that need casting or splinting, will need a longer time to heal, up to six to eight weeks. The most serious injuries will need surgery to reduce the bone and allow the ligaments to heal. The healing process can be six to eight months.
The tough part of this injury is relieving the plantar pain, which, fortunately for Taylor, has completely resolved. The other types of pain associated with this injury can easily be relieved with toe straps/orthotics/pads and medications if needed.
Your physical therapist can give you exercises to help strengthen the muscles and ligaments in your foot. These exercises can also help prevent future injury.
During activity, you should wear a stable and protective shoe.
Custom orthotics in your shoes will help stabilize your foot and prevent further injury. These should be utilized only after swelling and pain have subsided.
Talk to your podiatrist if you have suffered an injury to your foot or have increased swelling and bruising. It could indicate that you have a plantar plate tear.


The aim of "Europe in Perspective: International Co-operation in Cultural Learning" is to create new transnational and European professional development opportunities that strengthen the capacity of those working in schools as well as in non-formal arts and cultural education to develop more intercultural understanding and European awareness. In order to achieve this, a multinational modular training concept is to be developed and tested in the field.
stimulate cross-border exchange projects with young people and school children as part of local co-operations between schools and their cultural partners.
The project will be designed to support the work of those wanting to explore diversity and interculturality within their local area. The experiential nature of the multinational training will ensure that participants will be able to extend their understanding of intercultural practice through direct involvement in activities and experiences and thus extend their understanding of the benefits of international exchange – an effective form of non-formal education, which rarely plays a significant part in partnerships between schools and cultural partners.
The professional training modules will be developed in consultation both with practitioners within the sector and organisations providing training and professional development to the sector. The modules will be internationally planned and realised and thus capable of being relevant across Europe.
The project will test the modules directly and support the initial application of the ideas generated through the training, particularly in the area of international exchange.
The pilot trainings are the first tests of the modular training units and will bring together pairs of artists/cultural practitioners and teachers from a variety of European countries to contribute to the further development of the training concept.
The trainings will focus on topics related to diversity and intercultural learning (in a European and transnational context) and are intended to provide insights and understandings which participating pairs will be able to apply in the course of their general professional practice.
In each 6 day workshop (including arrival and departure days), teachers and their cultural partners from different countries will experience a programme that has been developed with training institutions/organisations across Europe. The modular training course will provide participants with the opportunity to reflect on the different dimensions of the issues as well as to experience practical approaches to engaging with them.
After each course, participants will share their experiences and reflections on the training course with the organisers, so that the training can be improved and shaped by the needs of professionals in culture and education.
The pilot trainings have taken place in the the first half of 2018 in Berlin, Newcastle and Budapest.
The standard trainings will be the second part of testing of the training modules and will be organised in responsibility of teams within the group of training partners. They will be a first test of the modules under real life conditions within the regular programme of different training institutions.
As well as the pilot trainings, they will be focussing on the topics diversity and intercultural learning (in a European and transnational context) and will support the participating pairs of teachers and artists/cultural practitioners in integrating these dimensions into their local partnership working.
The three standard trainings will be realised in the first half of 2019 in Germany, Hungary and Greece. The main responsibility to realise these trainings has been taken over by the project partners Bundesakademie für Kulturelle Bildung Wolfenbüttel from Germany, T-Tudok Centre for Knowledge Management and Educational Research Inc. from Hungary and Hellenic Theatre/Drama & Education Network (TENet-Gr) from Greece.
Central to the concept of the training is the idea that intercultural understanding can be developed through reflection and acknowledgement of plurality and multiperspectivity. This includes tolerating ambiguity within a country, society or local surrounding as well as appreciating one's individual inner diversity. We all have complex and constantly developing identities, formed through the interaction with different people and a variety of forms of cultural expression. A simplistic reduction on static, unified national identities as well as attributing particular characteristics to certain cultural backgrounds doesn't live up to the reality of living in a globalised world but restricts people's potential to live their lives self-determined and form a society as reflective subjects and responsible citizens in a diverse world. Cultural programmes, developed in local partnerships between the cultural sector and formal education, have the capacity to provide young people with the opportunity to escape from such restrictive ideas and realise their full potential. In so doing, they provide a powerful means to help young people 'learn to be' and 'learn to live together' in Europe and in a globalised world.
The training will follow the principles of non-formal learning and will have an experiential focus. The multinational training will ensure that participants will be able to extend their understanding of intercultural practice through direct involvement in activities and experiences and thus extend their understanding of the benefits of international exchange. The methods and techniques deployed in the training will create a learning atmosphere in which the participants are fully engaged socially, physically, emotionally and intellectually. Sharing and exchanging their experiences and perceptions will also be an important element in the training.
The participants will be able to try out new approaches, ways of communicating and actions in the safe environment of a group setting.
The training is being led by Paul Collard, Chief Executive of the international foundation Creativity, Culture and Education (CCE) who has been working in the arts and with young people for over 30 years. He is an expert in delivering programmes that use creativity and culture as drivers of social and economic change. CCE is delivering training programmes to support and strengthen the work of teachers and artists with young people and children all around the world, including currently in Norway, Holland, Germany, Scotland, Wales, Hungary, Ireland, Romania, Pakistan, Australia, Thailand and Chile.
The participants will receive a certificate by the organising partners that acknowledges their participation in the multinational training course on the specific topics and underlines their support in further developing a Europe-wide training concept.
If you are interested in participating in one of the trainings, please get in contact with Laura Mattick.
create a platform through which practitioners can meet potential international partners.


Solano Avenue Stroll 2016 Kicks Off!
I had a great time at last week's Solano Avenue Association kick-off party for the Solano Stroll. Allen Cain unveiled this year's poster along with Lalani (Lalani is the "poster child"!), and over 20 Solano Avenue restaurants gave us a taste of what to expect at this year's Stroll.
The Solano Avenue Stroll kick-off party and sponsors reception was held at Mechanics Bank in Alabany this year. Allen and other members of the Solano Avenue Association unveiled this year's poster (featuring Lalani), distributed postcards to get the word out, and announced this year's Grand Marshal-- Denise Grimshaw of Arrow Glass Company in Albany! Finally, we all enjoyed a delicious buffet with food from so many wonderful Solano Avenue restaurants.
I'm really looking forward to this year's event, and I hope to see you there!

Why did the shark cross the great barrier reef? To get to the other TIDE!
Now that you've finished slapping your knees, it's time to get ready for your aquatic adventure. On this cage dive, you'll travel approximately three miles offshore. Then, once you're nice and isolated, you'll be lowered into the cobalt blue water to come face-to-face with the most fearsome creatures of the sea: sharks.
Prepare to see sharks ranging from five to twelve feet -- Galapagos and Sandbar sharks and more -- that may swim just inches away from your face. The large cages can fit up to eight people, so it's the perfect way to share the thrill with family or friends. The best part is, everyone will already be submerged in warm water, so no one will be able to tell how scared you are.
So stop watching Shark Tank from your couch and dive into the water to see the real deal.
Note: Enter the hotel name where you are staying in the special requests box. Masks, snorkels, and cold drinking water will be provided. Underwater video service, film cameras and souvenir t-shirts available for purchase on the boat. Motion sickness precautions and towels recommended.

Vimbly service and communication was leaps and bounds above any other online interaction I have ever had.

Vimbly is the best! It is super convenient and makes trying new things easy. The classes they link you up with are extraordinary facilities that exceed expectations. I could not be happier after discovering Vimbly. A++

I have taken two tours with Vimbly and am looking forward to many more in the future! They have a wide variety of opportunities, many of which I would never have thought of doing. Both tours that I attended were well organized, interesting, and fun. I look to Vimbly for ideas and activities when I want to find something fun to do.
Used Vimbly 3 times now: booked a Knife Skills class at Institute of Culinary Education, booked tickets to Improvised Shakespeare (HOW DID THEY EVEN GET ACCESS TO THESE???), and booked tickets to an Improv show at the Upright Citizen's Brigade. Really simple and efficient way to find something to do and book it right away without ever having to pick up a phone. I like that you can search by date and also category.
As far as a rating, I'd absolutely give your site a 10. It's easy to use, easy to find whats upcoming, unambiguous and concise. It's something my mother could use without calling me seven times with questions. I've already pointed some friends to the site, and you can be sure I'll be using it in the future.

I already have recommended it to a friend! Several in fact. The site is such a good idea and I love how the people at Church Street knew we were coming and treated us like their own customers and not coupon redeemers. My girlfriend and I will definitely be going back there and are already looking on your site for what to do next weekend.
Evan W.
Easily one of the best dates I've been on, and I have Vimbly to thank for the idea. Planning to use it again while I'm in the city for the next month, and already reminded my coworkers about it.

For me, meals like this easy coconut chickpea curry are such a huge time saver on a busy day. Come evening time I don't usually have the energy to cook, especially if I've been recipe creating or filming earlier that day followed by cleaning and tidying. It can really take it out of me. So I always fall back on quick and easy recipes like this one that doesn't require much time to prepare and uses ingredients I always have available in my pantry. Ingredients like canned chickpeas, canned coconut milk, spices and rice.
I use light coconut milk to make it slightly healthier and lighter. The great thing about this curry is that you can adapt it to your taste. If you don't like chilli, leave it out. If you fancy adding cinnamon, go ahead! You can serve it with brown rice, quinoa or buckwheat to make it even healthier, or you can ever serve it with bread if you don't have time to make rice.
If you want more plant-based curry inspiration, check out my pumpkin, cauliflower and lentil curry.
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large skillet and sautee the onions on a medium heat for 5 minutes.
Add the crushed garlic, turmeric, cumin, chilli and coriander as well as a splash of water to create a paste.
Add the chickpeas, coconut milk, lemon juice and maple syrup. Cover and bring to a quick boil, then lower the heat and leave to simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with boiled rice and fresh coriander.
I love coconut curries! Anything with lots of chickpeas, carrots, green beans, eggplant, onions, bell peppers, and kabocha squash are my absolute faves. I need to start meal-prepping curries once again–though the beautiful fumes of the spices might tempt me to eat more than one portion in one day!
Could you freeze this curry? I like cooking in batches and this recipe looks delicious!
It tasted amazing and the maple syrup didn't ruin it at all 🙂 You can use sugar or leave out the sweetener if you prefer not to use it.
Fantastic! This is my new go-to recipe!

Formula 1 / Saudi Arabia GP News
Haas bonus scheme idea prompted by real concern, says Mazepin
Nikita Mazepin says his father's offer to Haas to set up an incentive scheme for staff has been prompted by genuine concerns about the pressures Formula 1 personnel face.
Jonathan Noble
Oleg Karpov
A gruelling travel schedule with more regular triple-headers, allied to a 23-race calendar next year, has prompted a growing number of F1 regulars to look for job opportunities elsewhere.
Haas has not escaped losing a number of its staff who have decided against staying on for the long haul.
But with the American-owned squad needing as many good people on its books as possible as it bids to move off the bottom of the rankings next year, Mazepin wants to set up a bonus scheme for those that commit to stay.
Speaking about why his father had done it, Nikita Mazepin said that he had voiced some worries about Haas personnel leaving, and where that would leave the team going forward.
"I have told him [his father] that I'm very concerned about people leaving, good people leaving," Mazepin told Autosport.
"I know that different people had different thoughts in their head, but quite some of them were financially concerned. And I'm very fortunate and lucky that he has heard it.
"He's got an amazing track record of giving what he needs to his employees, which numbers over 45,000 in his companies, and he is a professional in it, not me.
"He came up with this idea totally voluntarily to not, let's say, throw money at people, as bad as it may sound, but to motivate people and give them an opportunity to achieve certain things and be rewarded for it.

"The most important thing about it is [that] it happened totally voluntarily. He doesn't get anything from it, apart from I think he's in a stage of his life where he wants to give things back because he's got enough success.
"He now really is concerned about the people that actually do the hard work, people that work in the mines, in his factories, and the real employees at the very, very low level in the teams."
Mazepin said that the bonus scheme was only a suggestion at the moment, and that it would require Haas to not only accept it but also ensure that the team played its part in delivering staff what they needed to want to stay.
He added: "I'm not sure if it will happen, because it [the offer] actually has clauses of looking after the people and giving them a good experience. That needs to come from the team because he [Dmitry Mazepin] is only [a sponsor]."

While any ramping up of staff income would have to be included in F1's budget cap regulations, Mazepin said Haas was so below the current limit that it would not cause an issue on that front.
"From what I know, we're way below the budget cap anyway, so it will get a little bit closer to it," he said.
"And that goes towards people having a better life. And not only them, but their families having a better life, which is the most important thing to make it a good success."

A Staffordshire entrepreneur whose educational company runs live demonstrations of autopsies and operations will be appear on BBC2's Dragons' Den.
Samuel Piri is chief executive of Tamworth-based Inspire to Aspire Events (ITAE) and will be seen on the famous BBC show pitching for investment from the panel of 'Dragons' alongside 'VIVIT', the firm's semi-synthetic human cadaver.
Originally from Sutton Coldfield, Mr Piri studied the anatomy of the human body and later became a science teacher.
He started putting on educational events in 2012 on the subject of anatomy dissection before creating ITAE in 2015 which now tours the UK hosting live events.
It runs Anatomy Lab Live, claimed to be the world's only live and interactive anatomical dinner and dissection experience whereby guests' dinner tables are transformed into operating tables following a meal.
It also has Operating Theatre Live which is a travelling operating theatre experience for students in the UK and Europe.
Clients come from the corporate world and also Birmingham City University and universities in Coventry, Worcester and the East Midlands.
Mr Piri also supports schools with the teaching and learning of human anatomy and is hoping to push more students toward careers in the science, technology, engineering and maths fields.
The VIVIT cadaver is cast from an actual deceased person but is made from synthetic materials by a special effects company and was on show in the room when Mr Piri walked out of the famous lift to do his pitch to the Dragons.
Mr Piri remained tight lipped about whether he was successful or not but admitted Deborah Meaden was "horrified" by the model when he visited the BBC set in April.
Other panel members Jenny Campbell, Peter Jones and Tej Lalvani, who runs one of the UK's largest vitamin company Vitabiotics, were happy to get involved, he said.
"The BBC actually approached us twice about appearing on the show, both two years ago, but we didn't need the extra investment back then, and again in January this year," he said.
"The whole filming took about three hours so it was a long and gruelling experience up in Salford.
"We are looking for international expansion but this is the first time we ever tried to get external investment.
"There's a lot of interest from the US and Europe and we are looking to position ourselves to withstand any impact from Brexit.
"I feel anyone who gets offered the backing of a Dragon would be a fool to turn that down, not just for the PR but the expertise they bring."
The show will be broadcast at 8pm on BBC Two on Sunday, August 12.

Destination Crenshaw to Break Ground February 29
By Sahra Sulaiman
Sankofa Park, at Crenshaw and Vernon, will give visitors the opportunity to take in the entirety of Destination Crenshaw. The groundbreaking, set for February 29, will happen here.

On February 29, as Black History Month comes to a close, community leaders will gather at Vernon and Crenshaw to break ground on Destination Crenshaw – the 1.3-mile-long public art project featuring a mix of permanent and rotating art works that will celebrate Black life, culture, and contributions year 'round.
Destination Crenshaw will greet the Crenshaw/LAX Line when it surfaces to run at-grade between 60th and 48th Streets. A mix of permanent and rotating art works along the length of the corridor will tell the story of the Black community's history, resilience, contributions, capacity for innovation, and visions for the future. Click to enlarge. Site plan: Perkins+Will.
As we first wrote last year, the project was inspired by the desire to "turn insult into opportunity" and guard against the erasure of the community from its own streets.
When Metro laid out its plans to save on construction costs by running the Crenshaw/LAX Line at-grade up the spine of the Black community a decade ago, many had feared it could jeopardize the survival of the last remaining Black-owned business corridor in the city. The fact that Metro had originally planned to bypass Leimert Park Village – the cultural beating heart of the Black community – added to the sense that Metro's leadership fell somewhere between being indifferent to the community's value and openly hostile to it.
The community eventually prevailed, getting Metro to agree to a Leimert Park station at 43rd Place (although the train would still run at-grade).
Then the real work began.
To harness the change the train was sure to bring, Leimert Park Village stakeholders launched the 20/20 Vision Initative in 2014 – their effort to brand the village as a hub for Black creatives and safeguard it as a site of celebration of the diaspora.
Two years later, Eighth District councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson embarked on a series of conversations with community members about the future of Crenshaw. The goal was to build a vision for how to permanently stamp the "capital of Black life," as Harris-Dawson has called it, as an unapologetically Black space.

Hussle had been an early booster of the project, even suggesting the name "Destination Crenshaw." [Click image to visit the original Instagram post]
Over the course of the next year and a half, the community advisory council and a team of architects from Perkins+Will settled on an overarching theme for the project: Grow Where You Are Planted. Taking inspiration from the community's resilience in the face of "root shock," the theme allows for exploration of the different threads shaping the community's past, present, and future.
Four nodes will anchor key elements of the community's journey. In a nod to the late rapper, entrepreneur, and visionary Nipsey Hussle, the "Improvisation" node (at Slauson) will speak to the community's resourcefulness and capacity to transform adversity into opportunity. At 54th Street, "Firsts" will trace through-lines from Biddy Mason (who petitioned for her freedom in 1856, became one of the first Black women to own land in L.A., and was a founding member of the First AME Church) to present-day pioneers in the arts, entrepreneurship, and activism. "Dreams," at 50th, takes inspiration from architect Paul Revere Williams and will speak to the community's unique capacity to push beyond established boundaries and create space for itself. Finally, at Vernon, "Togetherness" will illuminate the vibrant cultural infrastructure Leimert Park Village has carefully nurtured over the years – one that draws on the wisdom of the ancestors and leads with unity.

Eleven pocket parks distributed among the nodes, each with their own permanent artwork, will create opportunities for deeper engagement with the specific themes. The parks will also vary in size and function, with some being able to support larger gatherings or performances and others being better suited for play or quiet contemplation.
Rotating exhibitions along the corridor featuring artworks from local artists will underscore the fact that "there is not one Black L.A. story," as advisory council member Tafarai Bayne, explained at the King Day celebration last year.
"A lot of this project is about creating programmable space where the Blackness can be layered on in a contemporary way that represents what Blackness is now. Or tomorrow. Or 100 years from now," Bayne continued. "We're setting the stage for Black people to take it into the future…[while] honor[ing] what Blackness has always been: adaptable to the world; changing; self-determining; and [transcending] the conditions we've had to deal with over and over."
Some in the community have challenged the idea that the project will protect the community from erasure, arguing instead that the creation of a cultural attraction will just hasten their displacement.
Last November, the Crenshaw Subway Coalition issued a statement contending that, "The unfortunate history of massive outdoor art projects like this, as perhaps most well illustrated with the High Line in New York City, is that they end up fueling the housing price increases that push out and price out the residents of color that they say they're going to serve." Would it not be better to use the $100 million the project is estimated to cost to purchase properties along the boulevard and put them in a community land trust, securing a Black presence forever?
When confronted with a similar line of questioning in an interview in July of 2018, Harris-Dawson acknowledged investment can be a double-edged sword. He also made the case that part of the work of helping a community remain in place included the neighborhood first being clearly identifiable as a Black space.
The fact that Crenshaw had not been valued in that way outside the community was something he had underscored in his original pitch to the community. "This is not something they ask you to do…or invite you in the room [for]," he had told stakeholders gathered at the Museum of African American Art (MAAA) for the project's first public unveiling back in March of 2018. "This is something we have to assert [ourselves]."
And it's something that advisory council members have said guided their thinking throughout the planning process.
"Are we making this for other folks to move in? No," said artist, designer, and self-described Gangsta Gardner Ron Finley at a preview of the project in December of 2018.
Instead, the goal was to "lead with culture" and communicate to community members that the project was, first and foremost, for them. That the corridor would not just be a place to celebrate unapologetically Black contributions, but also a place where it was safe to be unapologetically Black in Public – a Black Space, full stop.
Still, the groundbreaking comes at a moment of significant change along the corridor. The pending arrival of the Crenshaw Line – set to open later this year – has fueled speculation and turnover up and down the boulevard. Most notable among the pending changes are the plans of billionaire Jeff Greene to replace 206 rent-controlled units at Dorset Village with 782 units of mostly market-rate housing. The displacement of 163 lower-income Black and brown families just east of Nipsey Hussle Square (at Crenshaw and Slauson) stands in direct contrast to the ground-up work Hussle had done – and that his partners have vowed to continue to do – on that corner to build a foundation from which his community could rise together.
We'll have more on Destination Crenshaw as the groundbreaking approaches. For now, to RSVP for the event, please visit the Destination Crenshaw website.
For more background on the project, please see our in-depth story below, as well as coverage of the passing of Nipsey Hussle, the demolition of Dorset Village, and other corridor happenings.

To say change is afoot in the Crenshaw/Leimert area might be the understatement of the year. And, depending on who you ask, you might get very different perspectives on what kind of change you're looking at. For the elected officials and transit advocates who happily tossed ceremonial shovelfuls of dirt to mark the official groundbreaking […]


Dogs are allowed on site at all times but must be kept on a lead and must not be allowed to annoy customers (or other dogs).
Many people sit on the grass and so we ask that you bring bags so that you can pick up dog poo.
Drinking water for dogs is available near the glasses stand.
Can I bring my children and how much will I have to pay for them?
We do not charge an entry fee for children but they must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. You are allowed to take them into the beer marquees but we ask that you move away from the bar once you have been served.
Yes, you can obtain a wristband that will allow you back into the festival but they are only available after 5pm.
Note that when you return, the wristband must be intact and still on your wrist.
I'm 19 but keep getting asked for ID.
If you look under 21 we will ask for ID. We only accept picture driving licences, passports and ID cards with the PASS logo.
When you are challenged you can be supplied with a wristband. If you are challenged again, simply show the wristband.
My son is 17. Can he come to the festival?
Yes, but he must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. In the eyes of the law he is a child.
He must not buy or consume alcohol and doing so will get him, and possibly you, ejected from the festival by security.
Why do I have to buy a glass?
Strictly speaking you are hiring a glass. You can return it in good condition and get a full refund.
Of course we would like you to keep the glass as a souvenir.
Do you have ATM cash machines on site?
We have been unable to locate portable cash machines for use on site.
Make sure that you bring enough cash with you but please don't bring fifty pound notes. We will not accept them at any bar. They can only be changed at the glasses stand.
I like real ale but my wife only drinks gin. Can I bring some for her?
Normally there is no point as our fire limit guarantees that we will not have to turn anyone away.
We do sell advance door, glass and beer tickets so that companies and societies can offer them to their guests. Normally we will only deal with 15 or more.
Yes, the site is reasonably flat and we have people in wheelchairs every year.
There are disabled toilets on site.
If you arrive by car or taxi, ask at the gate. Provided the ground is firm you will be allowed to drive right up to the pay gates.
I lost something at the festival. What should I do?
We always find a selection of lost property at the festival and are keen to return it to its rightful owner. We generally find mobile phones, cameras, house keys, umbrellas, bracelets, car keys and credit cards, though we do find more unusual objects such as trousers, camping chairs and laptops.
I have Celiac disease or am allergic to gluten. What can I drink?
We do normally have some gluten free cask ales on site. Ask at the bar.
Some of the beers on the bottled beer bar are also gluten-free.
Cider, perry and wine are not made from grains and so should be safe for you.
Where can I find out about allergens in your products?
For beers, ciders and wines you should ask at our Membership & Information desk or ask a bar manager.
Food vendors are all independent operators and all should be displaying allergen information.
I am vegetarian or vegan. What can I drink and eat?
Most real ales use isinglass to make them drop bright. Isinglass is made from the swim bladder of fish. Quite a few beers are sold unfined, though they don't always claim to be suitable for vegetarians and/or vegans. Ask behind the bar for safe beers for you.
The food vendors are all independent operators and will be able to advise you which foods are suitable.
Is it true that all of the bar staff are unpaid volunteers?
Yes, that is true. Most are CAMRA members from the Peterborough area but quite a few travel from other parts of the country to work here and serve you with beer.
I am a CAMRA member. Why do I have to pay to get into the festival.
Unlike a normal pub we have to build ours before we can open. We need marquees, fencing, roadway, stillaging for the beer, toilets, etc, etc. This all costs a fortune and somebody has to pay for it. As a CAMRA member, you do get a generous discount.
If you get all of the beer free, why do you charge us for it.
We don't get the beer free. We buy it on the open market just like any Free House Pub. It is true that a few brewers give us a cask of beer free of charge for our unpaid volunteers but we buy more than 1,200 casks of beer each year.
What happens to the profit that you make.
A small amount is used to run the local CAMRA Branch but the majority goes to CAMRA HQ where it is used for campaigning to keep local pubs open, to get pub landlords a better deal from Pub Companies, to try to improve the quality and choice of real ales and ciders.
Yes, we have no problem with picnics, tables, chairs and umbrellas for use outside of the marquees. Soft drinks are allowed but only in sealed bottles. You must not bring any alcohol on site.
I have a ticket for the trade session but I cannot get there early.
No problem, you can use the ticket at any time on Tuesday.
Yes Again this year we will be searching bags There will be extra security checks in place at the front gate.

Wang Peng: Understanding "Reiwa" through the perspective of the "Asian civilization dialogue"
April 04 ,2019
Photo taken on April 1, 2019 shows a TV broadcast about Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga holding aloft a framed picture of "Reiwa", the name of Japan's new era, during a press conference in Tokyo, Japan. [Photo/Xinhua]
The Japanese government has unveiled the name of its new era, "Reiwa," which literally means "pursuing harmony." This comes just before its soon-to-be Emperor Naruhito succeeds the Chrysanthemum throne on May 1. His father, the current Emperor Akihito, is abdicating, with his era of "Heisei" coming to an end the day before.
Chinese netizens debate the intellectual sources of "Reiwa"
Although the selection of the name was top secret, the Japanese public and its neighboring countries were eager to guess what it was before it was officially announced. When the decision came after a series of highly guarded closed meetings and intense media speculation, Japanese at home and abroad had different perceptions of it and debated its significance.
The two characters "Reiwa" in Chinese, namely "ling" (令, order, command) and "he" (和, peace, harmony), were both commonly used by Chinese emperors in ancient times. Looking back in Chinese history, many Chinese rulers had chosen "ling" or "he" as the name of their reign or era. In modern Chinese language, these terms are also commonly and frequently used in people's daily lives, signifying best wishes for peace and harmony.
What might "shock" Chinese netizens, or even "irritate" some who have a stronger sense of nationalism, is not the name itself, but the Japanese official interpretation on how and why they chose those two characters.
Officials emphasized that the two characters were special and totally different from their counterparts in the past because they came from "original Japanese classics" – "The Poem of Manyoshu." This is an anthology of poems that enjoys the same privilege and fame as "The Book of Songs" (the oldest existing collection of Chinese poetry).
I am neither an expert of ancient Japanese literature nor a scholar of the history of Chinese literature. Therefore, judging whether "ling he" (Reiwa) really comes from a "pure, original and ancient Japanese classic" or rather, from its Chinese sources through a strict Foucaultian "archaeology of knowledge," is beyond my knowledge and research abilities. However, assuming the validity of both Japan's official statement and Chinese netizen's "textual criticism," we may solve this cognitive bias and consequent cultural-nationalist accusation through a new perspective – the "Asian values" and the "Asian civilization dialogue."
Reviewing "Reiwa" using the "Asian civilization dialogue" approach
A conference for dialogue among Asian civilizations is scheduled in Beijing in May, which is a good opportunity for Asian nations to get together to discuss how to better promote exchanges and mutual learning among Asian civilizations.
In China's view, the differences between civilizations or nations are not excuses for disputes, conflicts or war, but instead a reason and opportunity for further dialogues.
Culture and civilizations themselves are organic entities, ever fluid, and constantly changing and melding. In view of this, there are very few (if any) civilizations that can be called "pure" or "totally original," rather, they are all a mixture of different cultures in history. In other words, "civilization" itself is the product of dialogue and interaction among various groups of people in history.
A child holds a piece of newspaper about Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga holding aloft a framed picture of "Reiwa", the name of Japan's new era, during a press conference in Tokyo, April 1, 2019. [Photo/Xinhua]
Let's review the current case of China and Japan, especially the heated online debate about the intellectual sources of "Reiwa," under this cultural lens.
Perhaps it is still too early to say that China and Japan have already entered into a "community with a shared future," but most would agree that these two great nations belong to the same great cultural circle – the East Asian Confucian Civilization. However, as time went by, China and Japan gradually developed their own unique cultures, which while different, still shared a similar intellectual source and moral doctrines.
From this perspective, Japan's choice of "Reiwa" demonstrates the long history of friendly exchanges and profound cultural communications between China and Japan.
If we take a much broader view, the online debate of the term "Reiwa" may serve as the best example of China's insight that "different cultures and civilizations should not be arrogant and disdain each other, but rather learn from each other."
Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Chinese and Japanese enjoyed a highly developed level of people-to-people exchanges and cultural communication, and hence built a splendid civilization in East Asia.
Japan has more recently been trapped by its own militarism and expansionist ambitions in the past century. Now, China is looking forward to embracing a peace-loving Japan, but one which also recognizes and reflects on its history of bitter aggression.
As "Reiwa" suggests, now is the time for the two great Asian nations to join hands to build a "community with a shared future" in a booming East Asia through an open and sincere dialogue.

The USS Holland, the second Hunley class submarine tender, was removed from the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet on Thursday, July 10, 2013. She was transported to Mare Island where her hull will be cleaned, by Mare Island Ship Yard, prior to her final journey to Brownsville, Texas to be recycled.
For me this is a big moment, as USS Holland was the first ship I ever visited in Suisun Bay back in 2010. I was fortunate to have an opportunity to wander her corridors a few more time over the years, exploring the memories and artifacts left behind by the men and women who served aboard her.
USS Holland was built by the Ingalls Shipbuilding Company in Mississippi and commissioned in 1963. Her mission was to service submarines, replenish food supply, fuel and weapons. She carried a machine shop and was capable of repairing any portion of a submarine.
Her first major mission began in 1964 across the Atlantic Ocean in Rota, Spain where she took over for U.S.S. Proteus, restocking missiles and supplies to the Polaris Submarines.
During her thirty three years in service, USS Holland was recognized ten times for battle efficiency.
She was decommissioned in 1996, while in Guam, and placed in the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet shortly thereafter.

Q: Access microphone for android devices in c# sorry if this has been answered somewhere, i haven't been able to find what i need so far.
I need to access the microphone on android devices in c# to record and playback voice.
How do i go about doing this? If anyone could provide examples that would be very useful as i am a beginner. I am using monodevelop to create the application. Thanks.

A: By C# on Android I'm guessing that you mean Xamarin(?).
The Xamarin website has a Working with audio page with information on how to use the various audio APIs (e.g. MediaPlayer and MediaRecorder) from your app, including some example code.

Here's your video introduction to Lesson 7.5, Call Signs, in the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual. After watching this video you will be better prepared to understand the material in the book. Don't forget to check the test questions! There are some corrections to the video below.
At time 2:23: No, Dave, you missed one. US amateur radio call signs can begin with A, K, N, or W. You left out K. You should know better, because your own call begins with a K!
At time 2:26: Ya got it backwards, Dave. It's true that the USA doesn't have all of A, but it does have AA through AL. So, for example, AA1A is a valid USA ham radio callsign, but AK7X is not.
At time 3:57: Dave, you should check these things before saying them. Zaire is now known (again) as the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
At time 4:02. Aw c'mon! It's one of your favorite QSL cards! The country code for what was then Zaire is 9Z. See the image below for the QSL card in question.
9Q5PL QSL Card, one of my favorites, dates back to 1989.

KPO Kicks Off its 2018-19 Concert Season with "A Hawai'i Homecoming"
By Big Island Music Staff on	 September 18, 2018 COMING ATTRACTIONS
On Sunday, October 7, 2018, at 4:00 PM, the Kamuela Philharmonic Orchestra (KPO), opens its 2018-2019 Concert Season at Kahilu Theatre with a program entitled, "A Hawai'i Homecoming." This concert celebrates not only the beginning of the Orchestra's 14th season but also the return of acclaimed cellist, and Honolulu native, Anthony Arnone to the state of Hawai'i. Mr. Arnone will perform one of Antonín Dvořák's most beautiful and famous works—Cello Concerto in B minor.
The Orchestra and its many talented musicians, led by Artistic Director and Conductor, Brian Dollinger, will also be featured in Béla Bartók's "Rumanian Folk Dances," and Beethoven's iconic Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major. This virtuosic masterwork by Beethoven is sure to provide an unforgettable conclusion to the KPO's season opener.

Mr. Arnone has enjoyed a varied career as a soloist, chamber musician, conductor, recording artist, composer, and teacher. He discovered his love of the cello and started studies while attending 'Iolani School in Honolulu and continued his music studies at the New England Conservatory and San Francisco Conservatory, and completed his master's degree in Conducting at Wichita State University. Performances as a soloist, chamber musician, and conductor have taken him across the United States, Europe, and Asia to leading concert venues. He is a faculty member at Preucil School of Music in Iowa City, and an associate professor of cello at University of Iowa School of Music.
"A Hawai'i Homecoming" will not be the first time Mr. Arnone and maestro Dollinger have performed the Dvořák piece together. Dollinger has featured Mr. Arnone with his other orchestras—Clinton Symphony and Muscatine Symphony—in Iowa. Mr. Arnone is exceptionally excited to have the opportunity to play alongside the Kamuela Philharmonic and perform the Dvořák concerto in his home state, with family in attendance.
"When we return to where we grow up, it is a special thing. The homecoming of Mr. Arnone is special not only for him and his family but for me as well," said KPO Artistic Director and Conductor Brian Dollinger. "Mr. Arnone has been a dear colleague, friend, and cello instructor to my son, Constantine for many years, and I am beyond thrilled to share his amazing musicality, technical prowess, and passionate playing with the Kamuela Philharmonic Orchestra's audience."
