You can't say Catalan without thinking of Catalonia. This region in the north-east of Spain gets talked about quite a lot, especially in recent years with referendums on its independence from Spain. The region has a strong national identity, culture, and a language of its own; Catalan.
Catalonia covers 31,950km2 between the Mediterranean Sea, the Pyrenees, Aragon, and the Valencian Community. From the Pyrenees to the Ebre River (south of Tarragona), 7.61 million people live in Catalonia, accounting for 17% of Spain's total population. The main cities include Barcelona, Girona, Tarragona, Lleida, Reus, and Tortosa, which are all good places to speak Catalan.
In Catalonia, nearly 85% of the population speaks Catalan as their first language and 97.4% of the population understands it. 90.5% can read the language. Finally, 62.3% can write in Catalan.
Barcelona, Spain's second-largest city after Madrid, is a very popular destination for students looking to immerse themselves in the Spanish culture and party on the beach.
Who hasn't dreamed of language classes in Barcelona? Would you like to study languages in Barcelona, Lleida, or Girona?
Catalonia is home to many Catalan language schools, particularly in Barcelona, Lleida, and Girona. Going to Catalonia will allow you to rub shoulders with the natives who speak Catalan as their mother tongue. You could even teach them English in return for Catalan classes!
Don't have any classes in the evening?
You can always study in your own time! Catalonia has produced plenty of Catalan literature and has a strong national identity so a lot of authors write in Catalan. There are a lot of books and literature to help you learn Catalan.
You can also learn Catalan in parts of France. This is especially true if you spend your holidays in the south of France.
In the Pyrénées-Orientales, which is also known as Northern Catalonia, there's a significant number of people who still speak Catalan. (Source: max_jam)
In the Pyrénées-Orientales area of France, you'll find a good number of speakers. 37% of the population can speak the language and 65% can understand it when spoken or written. 31.4% can read in Catalan and 10.6% know how to write in Catalan.
The Pyrénées-Orientales are like the Catalonia of the north for Catalans, which is why the region is also known as Northern Catalonia.
The Pyrénées-Orientales include Roussillon, one of the historic counties of the former Principality of Catalonia, an area that's sunny all year round with mountains, coastline, and plenty of cultural heritage. With seaside towns like Argelès-sur-Mer, Banyuls-sur-Mer, Collioure, Port-Vendres and the Albera Massif mountain range, you'll find plenty of people who can speak Spanish, Catalan, and French.
There are towns like Collioure, the Canigó Mountain, Bouillouses Lake, Paulilles Bay, Palace of the Kings of Majorca, and villages like Orgues d'Ille-sur-Têt, Céret, Tautavel, Port-Vendres, Banyuls-sur-Mer.
As you can see, Catalan isn't just spoken in Spain. There are several Catalan tutors on Superprof from France!

Did you think Catalan was only spoken in Catalonia?
You might be surprised to find out that it's also spoken on the Balearic Islands.
Each Balearic island has a different version of Catalan. (Source: housedoctor3)
The Balearic Islands includes Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza, Formentera, Tagomago, S'Espalmador, Carbera, Conillera, and La Dragonera and are home to 1.11 million inhabitants (2012).
The Balearic Islands have been influenced by Catalan and Spanish culture and both languages hold official status on the islands.
Catalan became the official language of Majorca in the 12th century and each island developed a different Catalan dialect: Majorquin in Majorca and Minorquin in Minorca.
Nearly 75% of the population can speak Catalan, 80% can read it, and 93% can understand it.
In recent years, the President of the Balearic Islands José Ramón Bauzá Díaz removed Catalan as a requirement for civil servants in the Balearics in 2013.
Nowadays, 50% of those on the Balearic Islands use Spanish, 37% use Catalan, and 10% use both. That said, there are still Catalan language schools you could attend in the Balearic Islands.

Andorra is a sovereign state situated between France and Spain and a lot of people travel into Andorra for cigarettes and alcohol to pay less tax. It's one of the smallest sovereign states in Europe after San Marino, Monaco, and the Vatican City.
You could live in the capital city, Andorra la Vella, and learn Catalan as it's the only official language in Andorra. Thanks to the fact that Catalan is used by the government, TV, radio, and all national media, it's very easy to immerse yourself in the language.
51% of Andorrans use Catalan in their everyday life. Of the 22,600 Andorrans, 33.8% of the population speak Catalan as their mother tongue.
Andorra is more than just a hiking destination or somewhere to buy cheap cigs and booze!

Catalan is also spoken in Sardinia. Alguer, as it's known in Catalan, is an Italian city in the north of Sardinia and home to around 44,000 inhabitants.
As if you needed another excuse to visit Sardinia! (Source: sweetlouise)
Catalan is spoken here because the population of the city originated from Catalonia. The island was conquered by the Kingdom of Aragon in 1354. The occupants drove the local populations out and settled Catalan-speaking residents. They would remain there for 600 years, leading to 20% of the population speaking Catalan nowadays.
Italy and the Province of Sassari both recognise Catalan as one of the city's official languages. Street signs are written in both Catalan and Italian. The Catalan language is even taught in schools there and some foreign workers need to take Catalan classes and achieve a C1 level!
If you can't get to a place where Catalan is spoken, you can always get experienced and qualified private Catalan tutors on Superprof. Just search for them and have a look at their profiles. No two tutors are alike so you should compare their rates, experience, teaching approaches, and read the reviews left by their other students.
Many tutors offer the first lesson for free so use these sessions to discuss what you want out of your tutorials, plan the course, and try out different Catalan language tutors before deciding on which one is best for you.
There are a few different types of tutorial you can get and each comes with its pros and cons so you'll also want to consider your budget and language learning goals.
Face-to-face tutorials are usually the most expensive but you'll get to enjoy bespoke tuition that's tailored to you, your level, and your goals.
Online tutorials are useful for those who can't find tutors locally or on a tight budget as the tutors don't usually charge as much as they don't have to travel to their students.
For those on a tight budget, group tutorials are a great option. You and a few friends or family members can split the cost of a tutor's time and end up paying less per student per hour. While they won't be tailored to just you, you'll have more people to practise speaking Catalan with!
Bona sort!

The excitement leading up to the opening of Tupelo Honey Cafe in South End took on a life of its own on social media and in the local press. One would have thought renowned restaurateur Danny Meyer or chef Thomas Keller were setting up shop. After opening last December, the ensuing popularity has caused the parking lot to be crowded, lines to form at certain times, and a lot of head-scratching among area food aficionados like myself.
A Southern cuisine restaurant is a strange hybrid of forms. It is for the tourist and transplant, but about the resident. It is predictable, but emotional. It gestures simultaneously to the past, the present and the future. Or it should.
When Tupelo Honey Cafe opened in downtown Asheville in 2000, good restaurants could be counted on one hand, and tourists visiting that charming mountain town were curious to explore Southern cuisine. In 2008, Tupelo was sold to Steve Frabitore, who now has a chain of six stores in three states. The 225-seat, 7,100-square-foot Charlotte store opened in December in the space formerly occupied by The Pewter Rose. The interior has been refreshed, but the brick walls and early morning cheeriness remain.
Tupelo's menu, a predictable round-up of aging Southern all-stars, is overseen by executive chef Brian Sonoskus, who has been with Tupelo Honey in the Asheville location since 2001. Fried green tomatoes? Check. Fried chicken? Of course. Pimento cheese, catfish, crab cakes, biscuits, sweet potato fries, sweet potato pancakes ... well, you get the picture. The menu at all six locations is the same.
Tupelo's kitchen offers items that used to define Southern cuisine, before chefs like Charleston's Sean Brock got a hold of it and returned this cuisine to its legendary roots: great food fresh from the field, orchard and stream — a food that had its own language and did not require the fryer or the sugar bowl.
But if you like Buddy the Elf's approach to food — "the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corn and syrup" — Tupelo Honey Cafe might be your kind of place. Sweet and salty are the dominant flavors. And judging from the crowds of people willing to queue, owner Frabitore knows what people want and the menu-speak accurately portrays each dish.
Even cocktails like Blueberry Field Forever are more jammy than complex. You can distract yourself by knocking back tall glasses of the blueberry punch mixed with apple cider, pineapple juice and ginger ale. A short round-up of bottled brews is offered with an even shorter and more random, primarily West Coast, wine list.
On the starter list, the pimento cheese dip is more laid-back than opinionated, while the fried green tomatoes are fettered by a heavy, salty coating. Entrées arrive in hearty portions. The beef meatloaf with its juxtaposition of textures trumps its comparatively wan side of mac and cheese. The opulent shrimp and grits pack a bit more punch, with goat cheese opening up the grits and cayenne adding a kick to the red pepper sauce. Tupelo's desserts are perfectly in line with the menu. That list includes a pecan pie and a rich and creamy banana pudding.
Yet, an eatery named for a food product should offer that food product, right? After all, Phat Burrito sells burritos, and Bang Bang Burgers sells burgers. So Tupelo Honey Cafe should offer Tupelo honey, the gold standard of American honeys. As honeys go, the quite expensive Tupelo has as distinctive a flavor profile as a New Zealand sauvignon blanc and is quintessentially Southern. The largest concentration of the white tupelo tree grows along rivers and swamps in a narrow swath of southern Georgia and northern Florida and the nectar of its fruit, the Ogeechee lime, is what bees use to make this monofloral honey. But on my visit, the honey served at Tupelo Honey Cafe was not Tupelo honey. Rather, the honey served in a squeeze bottle with the fluffy complimentary biscuit is generic and bland.
"That was a disappointment," my dining companion muttered as we pushed through the crowd on the way out.

Many travellers are searching for Shopping I Bangkok Tips,Bangkok can well be described as a city of humble beginnings. In fact around 200 years ago, it was simply a small trading center and port community.

That's why a visit to Bangkok should be on everyone's bucket list. You can find Shopping I Bangkok Tips travel information.
Otherwise known as Wat Chetuphon, this really is a temple which was built for King Rama in Bangkok a huge selection of yrs ago. It is thought to be a location where people can receive feelings, and was considered one of the primary pharmacies in most of Bangkok. It is additionally the location of the first university which had been started by a descendent of King Rama, an area where you can now get not simply traditional medicine but a foot massage at very inexpensive prices. It really is known mostly for the Temple of the Reclining Buddha that is a Buddha which is lying down perched on his arm. It is actually enormous, roughly 15 m high by 45 m long, and can only be viewed in sections due to its size. There are lots of beautiful precious stones that were in lead in the soles of your feet, an overall total variety of 108 stones total. This is a number linked to procession, the wobble of your earth, something that is built into many of the temples throughout Thailand.
This is an absolutely beautiful structure that has a considerable amount of history, and is also the house of what exactly is called Wat Phra Kaeo. It really is here that this emerald or jade Buddha can be obtained, within this palace integrated 1782, the residence of your royalty that had been in charge of the nation at that time. This palace includes two hours of not just the palace itself but the Wat Phra Kaew Tour. Our recommendation is that you start out early every morning to benefit from everything that you are able to see, or simply just execute a half day sightseeing tour to view either one.
You can observe an attractive representation of your ancient battles that employed to occur between Burma and Siam. This is really a variety of Royal Palace and Chapel, and if you are able to climb to the top prior to sunset, you will observe the sun setting in to the Chao Praya River, an attractive sight to behold.
Before what is called Wat Suthat is exactly what the locals call the giant swing. It is actually a 27 m high structure, use for religious ceremonies, as well as its purpose is to go through a ritual that involves groups of three people going to the top and walking across for the narrow board. There were a significant number of fatal accidents in the 1930s which make them not take advantage of this as a ritual ever again. However, this is a beautiful sight to discover, especially before Wat Suthat.
This really is literally something out of your movies, a real floating market that is certainly about one hour outside Bangkok. It can be considered by some to become the Venice of the East, much like how the individuals that part of Italy do so several things about the water. Additionally it is a tourist trap as a consequence of how individuals are planning to see this market that is certainly completely floating on boats manned by people selling their goods. However, if you do go, you will end up treated to some of the most delicious food which is absolutely fresh, served within an authentic way.
When you have time, you can head over to Lumpini Park that is a literal oasis in the midst of the architecture and buildings of Bangkok. There are numerous lawns that you can spend time at, Chinese pagodas, and there exists a small lake that you could go on a boat on. Is perfect for relaxing as the park is indeed tranquil, despite all the skyscrapers which are surrounding it in all directions. The park has been a place where antigovernment protests have occurred, so just be certain that when you choose to go there, it's just people hanging out to unwind.

Q: How to select random entry from table? I need to display a random last name of a person who entered into an employment contract in a specified month using the rand function
go
CREATE OR ALTER function [dbo].[User_Surname]
(@mont int)
    returns nvarchar(50)
    begin
        Declare @surname nvarchar(50)
        Set @surname = (Select top(1)  surname from dbo.Tenants
            inner join dbo.lease_agreements on Tenants.tenant_code = lease_agreements.tenant_code
                where MONTH(lease_agreements.rental_start_date) = @mont and dbo.Tenants.tenant_code = (select * from randNumber))
        return @surname
    end
go
select dbo.User_Surname (1)

create or alter view randNumber as
Select FLOOR((RAND() * (MAX(tenant_code + 1) - 1)) + 1) as value from Tenants

A: So what if tenant #42 has been removed?  If the random number function returns 42, then your query will yield nothing.
To fix this problem, an approach which would be quite difficult to correctly implement would involve a row-sequence-number column which is an integer which sequentially increments and does not contain gaps. In order to avoid a gap when a row is deleted, you must pick the last row from the table and give it the row-sequence-number of the deleted column. Consistently doing so without ever forgetting to do it seems like a tough proposition. Achieving this without concurrency problems when rows are being concurrently deleted also seems like a tough proposition. Furthermore, the possibility that the last row may be re-sequenced means that you cannot use an SQL SEQUENCE for issuing row sequence numbers, or that your RDBMS must support the ability to count-down on a sequence, which is a tough proposition.
A better approach would be to create a random number N between zero and the number of rows instead of the maximum row id number, and then to pick the Nth row from the table. That would be something like SELECT BOTTOM 1 FROM (SELECT TOP N FROM...
An SQL-only solution (involving no stored procedures) would be very inefficient. It would involve joining the table of interest with the random-number function, (just real random numbers between 0.0 and 1.0,) essentially creating a new table which also contains a random number field, then using ORDER BY the random field, and then using TOP 1 to get the first row. To achieve this, your RDBMS would be performing a full table scan, and creating an entire new sorted temporary table, and it would be doing that each time you ask for a row at random, so it would be preposterously inefficient.
A performance improvement on the above idea would be to permanently add the random number column to each row, (and to issue a new random number between 0.0 and 1.0 to each row later inserted,) and then use a SEQUENCE for issuing sequential row index numbers, so that each time you want a new random row you pick the next number N from the sequence, you compute its modulus by the number of rows in the table, and you get the Nth row from the table sorted by random-number-column. It will probably be a good idea to make that random number column indexed. The problem with this approach is that it does not truly yield records at random, it yields all records in random order. Truly yielding records at random means that the same row might be yielded twice in two successive queries. This approach will only yield a record again once all other records have first been yielded.

A: As you want only one tenant, use 'ORDEr BY RAND()`
As always with randomness, you could alos get 100 times the same Tennant, especially when you have only a small number of tennants that fit the bill.
This will never be fast as the table needs to be full scnanned
but at least you should have an index on (tenant_code  ,rental_start_date) so that it will be faster to select the correct tennants
CREATE OR ALTER function [dbo].[User_Surname]
(@mont int)
    returns nvarchar(50)
    begin
        Declare @surname nvarchar(50)
        Set @surname = (Select top(1)  surname from dbo.Tenants
            inner join dbo.lease_agreements on Tenants.tenant_code = lease_agreements.tenant_code
                where MONTH(lease_agreements.rental_start_date) = @mont
                ORDER By RAND())
        return @surname
    end

Chelsea 1-6 Spurs (U18) Match Review & Chelsea vs Brighton (U23) Preview
March 6, 2021 March 6, 2021 Posted in Academy, Previews, ReviewsTagged Academy, Chelsea, Preview, Report, Review, U18s, U23's
Well, this match report is going to be painful to write. Chelsea decided to broadcast an U18 League game, something we haven't seen them do in years, so many fans were excited to see some future stars play. But it was a day to completely forget for the Blues, as they were thrashed 6-1 to their London rivals Spurs at Cobham.
The lineup certainly was interesting. Ed Brand made 8 changes to the team, something you can't really blame him for, as it's not like recent weeks have been good for him either. Jude Soonsup-Bell and Harvey Vale were not involved and we expect them to feature in the 23's tomorrow, while Bryan Fiabema and Dion Rankine dropped down from the PL2 squad. Ben Elliot, Charlie Wiggett and Bashir Humphreys were the main names missing from today's squad.

It wasn't a great start, as Chelsea managed to concede inside 6 minutes. Tottenham worked it well down the left hand side, and the overlapping player crossed it into the far post for Lusala to tuck it into the corner, while no Chelsea player picked him up. A few minutes later we tried to bounce back as Fiabema had a shot on the edge of the box, but skied it way over the bar, which pretty much sums up his last few months in Blue as he has struggled to find the back of the net and is clearly lacking confidence.
Not long later Chelsea found themselves 2-0 down, after 2006 born goalkeeper Ted Curd gave the ball to Brodi Hughes under pressure. The defender, who actually had quite a good game, was fouled in his box but somehow the referee didn't give a free kick, and Spurs ended up having a very simple tap-in converted by Scarlett.
Chelsea still had chances after a lovely backheel from Fiabema, but Joe Haigh was unable to find the back of the net and somehow Silko Thomas couldn't score from a few yards out after some wonderful defending from the Lilywhites. Around the 20th minute, Spurs had complete control of the game, and former blue Roshaun Mathurin scored a wonderful free kick just on the edge of our own box to make the scoreline 3-0.
Charlie Webster, a player Chelsea fans should definitely keep an eye on, looked the most comfortable on the ball in the first half for the Blues, as on a couple of occasions he played some lovely lofted balls to Brooking and Rankine, but both were unable to make anything out of their chances.

Before Charlie's ball to Rankine, around the 30th minute mark Josh Tobin lost the ball in an extremely dangerous area and the opposition had a 2v1, but Brodi Hughes made an outstanding tackle and stopped the scoreline from being 4-0.
Not for long though, as straight after half time when you'd hope to see some more fight from the Chelsea team, Tobin gave away a sloppy penalty and they made it 4-0. Now, I'm not going to lie, I went to go and get a drink of water after that goal, and I come back and see the scoreline to be 5-0. So, I don't know how we conceded, but I know we did in a few minutes and the team completely collapsed.
Ed Brand decided to bring on Leo Castledine and Ronnie Stutter, with the former changing the game. He brought energy and quality in midfield, as he picked out a nice pass to Rankine who cut back to Joe Haigh who finished calmly to give Chelsea a consolidation goal. A few minutes later once again Leo put in a beauty of a cross, but Joe was unable to get contact with the ball.
Around the 75th minute, Castledine got fouled but once again it wasn't given, the ball was easily turned over and Mathurin scored a screamer of a goal to get his hat-trick, flicking the ball over two players and finishing sweetly. The game died down from then onwards and it was a very disappointing morning for the Blues.
The last few weeks haven't been easy for the academy, as most of the time the 23s and 18s have played the better football but haven't been able to grind out the results, but today was just embarrassing. When the 23s played Spurs a few months ago we found ourselves 2-0 down, yet we still showed character and desire and managed to make a remarkable comeback and won the game in what was one of the best victories in the PL2 this season. Whereas today, there was absolutely nothing effort wise from most of the boys, and you wouldn't think it was a London Derby.
No doubt, they will come back. After all the Chelsea academy is one of the best in the world, and it's these tough spells which will separate the players with the strong mentality from the players with the weak mentality. But we need to see more effort and desire, and then we all know the quality these guys have. If Tino Anjorin and Billy Gilmour are to play with the 23's even more, we could see the likes of Soonsup-Bell and Harvey Vale feature more for the 18s, hopefully giving them a helping hand through this tough situation.

Chelsea U23s face Brighton tomorrow, and they also will be looking to get back to getting 3 points, something which we haven't seen in a long while. They have played some incredible football at times, but struggled to find the back of the net.
Jude not playing today suggests he'll feature tomorrow, which certainly will help as Fiabema and Nunn have struggled up top. Henry Lawrence should be set for a return after a few weeks out injured, as his cousin revealed to us in an exclusive interview all about Henry. Whether Billy and big Tino will be involved is something to keep an eye out on, as they certainly did make a difference in our draw to Leicester the other week.
Predicted Lineup: Ziger, Lawrence, Simeu, Colwill, Sterling, Bate, McEachran, Livramento, Ballo, Soonsup-Bell, Vale.

This month's 'In 24 Hours' takes host James Williams (pictured) to the jewel of the American South, Atlanta, Georgia.
During his tour of the city, Williams meets A-listers who call Atlanta home, and experience a rapidly changing metropolis whose Southern roots still influence the city's culture today.
Every Atlantan will say Southern comfort food is and always will be one of the quintessential hallmarks of what makes the city great. Williams starts his morning by having a proper Southern breakfast at Buttermilk Kitchen with two time NFL Super Bowl Champion, Hines Ward, to experience true Southern hospitality with grits, fried chicken, and biscuits.
Williams continues his morning at the Center for Civil and Human Rights, where history comes to life as one of the original Freedom Riders from the Civil Rights Movement, Hank Thomas, walks Williams through exhibits depicting events during the Civil Rights Movement.
From there, Williams travels to the outskirts of Atlanta to see where the international TV hit The Walking Dead has filmed for the past seven years. Williams grabs a beer with cast member Norman Reedus as well as the show's Executive Producer Greg Nicotero, to talk about the film industry's growing love for Atlanta.
Williams makes his way to Stankonia Studios for an exclusive listening session with Organized Noize. The recording studio is where the multi-award winning hip-hop duo Outkast created the majority of their groundbreaking work. The trio sit down with Williams to play unreleased tracks to their highly anticipated upcoming album while talking about Southern beats, eats, and how their music has been a voice for African Americans growing up in Atlanta.
'Atlanta In 24 Hours' concludes with Williams ending his night with a nightcap at the discreet invite-only lounge frequented by celebrities and A-listers, Himitsu. He's joined by Atlanta-based Spanx founder and CEO Sara Blakely, who shares her thoughts on the influence of Southern fashion and style.

Living Golf
Thursday 8 December at 1030 GMT / 1130 CET and 1730 GMT / 1830 CET
This month, 'Living Golf' reflects on the golfing year in the Scottish Highlands, the English countryside and the Florida lakes.
Host Shane O'Donoghue visits Royal Dornoch Golf Club in Scotland, which this year is celebrating 400 years of the game being played there. O'Donoghue discovers why the links course is ranked so highly amongst golfers from around the world.
O'Donoghue studies the life of Donald Ross, Dornoch's first head professional. Ross became one of golf's greatest course architects and it's estimated that he helped design over 400 courses in the United States during the first half of the 20th century.
Just a few miles from Dornoch lays Skibo Castle, one of the great estates in Scotland and home to the Carnegie Club. O'Donoghue is joined for a round there with respected golf journalist, John Huggan, to discuss the headline stories from the golfing year.
One of the performances of 2016 was Henrik's Stenson's final round 63 to win the Open Championship at Royal Troon. 'Living Golf' meets the Swede and his family at his home in Lake Nona in Florida to reminisce about his Open victory and to find out the unusual way he looks after the Claret Jug while in his possession for a year.
In Surrey, England, O'Donoghue spends time with eight-time major champion, Tom Watson, as he surveys Beaverbrook Golf Club, his first course design in the UK. O'Donoghue talks to Watson about his role as an architect and also his forthright views about the year in golf.

The Earth is entering its sixth era of extinction, and it's the first time humans are to blame. Species are disappearing 100 to 1,000 times the normal rate, and biologists fear the extinction crisis may be irreversible if the human race fails to make drastic changes in coming years.
The stakes are massive: three quarters of all known species could disappear if something doesn't change. 'The Vanishing' introduces viewers to five key species and the people who are trying to prevent them from vanishing forever.
In southwest Madagascar, the consequences of global warming on coral reefs are abundantly clear. 'The Vanishing' meets the Vezo people, whose name literally translates as "at struggle with the sea" to learn how their village is adapting to these challenges.
By 2050, researchers estimate the ocean will be equal parts fish and plastic. This has wide-ranging consequences for a number of species, including the albatross, a seabird that feeds colourful pieces of plastic to its young. 'The Vanishing' examines what the long-term impact of this could be, and how it can be prevented.
CNN's David McKenzie examines who is responsible for driving the demand for illegal elephant ivory as well as meeting a researcher who is trying to study and save the elephants.
Bryan Pijanowski is a soundscape ecologist. One of his projects is listening to the rainforest in Costa Rica for the sound of extinction. Frogs, like all amphibians, are going extinct at a faster rate than any other group. 'The Vanishing' follows Pijanowski for an expedition to document the silence.
Bees are critical for food pollination, but some of them are suddenly disappearing without alarm. CNN's John Sutter spends two days with Robbin Thorp, an 83-year-old retired entomologist who was the last person to see the rare Franklin's bumblebee alive in 2006. He won't give up the search.

The end of the year is approaching and the holiday season is imminent, a time of year where the road-weary business traveller can take stock and reflect.
'CNN Business Traveller' reports from one of the most festive places in the world at this time of year, away from airport lounges and meeting rooms, as host Richard Quest travels to Finland.
Recently named one of the top three countries in the world for travellers in 2017, Finland is also the host of the Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi.
At the village, 'CNN Business Traveller' looks back on 2016 in the spirit of what to be grateful for, including some of the programme's best experiences and lessons learnt.
Whilst trying some of Finland's highlights and adventures, Quest reflects on some of the programme's own, including the trip that took him round-the-world and his tours of US national parks and India.
Quest takes part in a Finnish tradition to refresh the mind and body. An experience that will test his mettle and provide ample time to recount the sage advice on how to stay in good health while on the road, all whilst 'CNN Business Traveller' prepares to gear up for 2017.

McDonald's in Market Street has reopened after a digital makeover
The fast food restaurant aims to improve customer experience with new digital features
Hayley WatsonCity Centre Reporter
Get your teeth into Leicestershire with our FREE weekly Food and Drink newsletter
McDonald's in Market Street in Leicester has been given a major digital makeover.
The branch reopened yesterday after being closed for refurbishment for nearly two weeks.
And customers are in for an even better experience with the addition of new digital technologies.
Four self-order kiosks have been introduced to the restaurant
Why has this Leicester building been painted with a huge Union Flag?
Customers now have the option to order their Big Mac or Fillet-O-Fish using one of four self-order kiosks in the restaurant.
Designed to improve the speed and ease of ordering, the touch screen kiosks enable you to browse the menu, order and pay using contactless or mobile payment.
They also allow you to view the nutritional information of menu items and customise your order.
The machines allow you to order and pay
To accommodate the self-order kiosks, the ground floor of the restaurant has been opened up, with the swish machines taking pride of place in the centre of the floor.
And if you choose to order at the more traditional counter – where you can still pay with cash – you'll see brand new digital signage displaying the menu.
What's on the menu at brand new Leicester restaurant The Fish and the Chip?
New digital signage displays the menu
Along with the digital changes, the restaurant has debuted a vibrant new look, with stylish wooden accents, modern graphics and graffiti patterns.
New counter seating runs along the restaurant windows, with booth and table seating also available.
Eco-friendly waste sorting bins have also been added to encourage customers to recycle.
The restaurant has debuted a vibrant new look
The new features have been designed with changing customer needs in mind, and are part of a McDonald's drive to bring more innovation to customers in the UK.
Angus Fraser, who has been a franchisee in Leicester for less than a year, has noticed a few changes in how customers are treating the restaurant since they reopened.
He said: "People who used to pop in for a quick bite to eat are staying longer to make use of the tech we now have on offer, such as free Wifi.
"We've also noticed a difference in the way people are ordering, for example people are now more aware of our healthier options such as swapping fries for a side salad, or adding a fruit bag to their children's Happy Meal."
Competition: Win one of 100 kebabs from German Doner Kebab in Leicester
The current restaurant reimaging programme is the company's biggest and most ambitious in its history.
And as McDonald's constantly strives to bring more innovation to customers in the UK, the future could see even more exciting features introduced if current trials prove successful.
This could include mobile ordering, table service, and the option to customise the classic burgers that customers know and love.

Kevin O'Leary's Twitter Account Hacked to Promote Bitcoin, Ethereum Giveaway Scam – Featured Bitcoin News
Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary's Twitter account was hacked Thursday and used to promote a bitcoin and ethereum giveaway scam. The scammers claimed that Mr. Wonderful is giving away 5,000 bitcoin and 15,000 ether, and anyone can participate.
Kevin O'Leary's 'Fake' Bitcoin and Ether Giveaways
The official Twitter account for Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary, aka Mr. Wonderful, started promoting bitcoin and ethereum giveaways Thursday morning. The account tweeted claiming that O'Leary has made a lot of money from crypto over the last few years and he has decided to give away 5,000 bitcoin and 15,000 ether. The tweet also provides a link for anyone to join the cryptocurrency giveaway scam event.
The O'Leary Twitter account further claimed that it is not hacked and the giveaways are not a scam. It also falsely claimed that Mr. Wonderful said on CNBC last night that he will away some cryptocurrencies for real.
The link provided in the first tweet takes investors to a website claiming to be the official site for O'Leary's bitcoin and ether giveaway. "Everyone can participate, including those in the United States," the website details. Two more links are provided: one is to participate in the BTC giveaway while the other is to participate in the ETH giveaway.
The fake giveaway posts were removed by Twitter a few hours after they were posted.
Crypto Giveaway Scams Widespread on Social Media
Cryptocurrency giveaway scams are widespread across various social media platforms, including Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, and Instagram.
Scammers often hack the accounts of famous people, politicians, celebrities, and companies and use them to promote their fake giveaways. Elon Musk and his companies Tesla and Spacex are often featured in these scams.
In the O'Leary giveaway, the scammer evidently reused the same website they created for fake Tesla and Elon Musk giveaways. Besides comments on O'Leary's giveaway site thanking Musk for sending them some BTC, both the bitcoin and ether giveaway pages for the Shark Tank star have the Tesla logo on top and were hosted on a website with the name Tesla in the URL.
In July 2020, a large number of Twitter accounts were hacked to promote a bitcoin giveaway, including those belonging to Apple, Google, Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Floyd Mayweather, Jeff Bezos, Joe Biden, Kanye West, Mike Bloomberg, Mr. Beast, Uber, and Warren Buffett. More recently, Pakistani politician Imran Khan's Instagram account was used to promote a giveaway scam featuring Musk, and the British Army's official Youtube and Twitter accounts were compromised in July to promote a bitcoin giveaway.
O'Leary was recently slammed by the crypto community for defending former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. He was paid about $15 million to become the crypto exchange's spokesperson. Following the FTX meltdown, O'Leary said Bankman-Fried is a brilliant crypto trader and he will back him again if he has another venture.
What do you think about cryptocurrency giveaway scams? Let us know in the comments section below.

I went to India on a group yoga and volunteer trip two years ago (read about it here). It was both challenging and rewarding. I had to purchase a duffle bag in India in order to fit all the goodies I bought while there (!). I know, a little ridiculous. I struggled with curating and paring down my gift and souvenir purchasing while there. More on that later. Oh well. #NoRegrets.
Before my trip I had no idea that one of the many artisanal products lovingly hand made in India is paper. Guys? I love stationary stores and giving me a tour of a beautiful paper factory and then the gift store was just like giving candy to a baby or wine to a lush or, well, you get it.
I tried my best. I really did. And I think I did a good job of not purchasing everything on offer. I came back with two pencil/pen holders – which I fully intended to give as gifts, but didn't… And a box… full of smaller boxes. I also love boxes (weird, I know). I just had to purchase this and for awhile it was sort of on display on my bookshelf… but now, it's in a drawer.
The paper factory was in an outside neighborhood of Jaipur – and employs only women! The tour was really wonderful and the photos alone would have been enough of a souvenir. But, I mean, we all have to do our part to support the workers!!!
Why not pin for later??

Microsoft wants to help small businesses book appointments online with Bookings service
PCWorld Jul-20-2016, 22:15:23 GMT
Small business owners are getting a new feature tailored just for them in Microsoft Office 365--a full-service system for scheduling appointments for their services over the internet.

Microsoft readies new appointment-booking service for Office 365 Business Premium users
ZDNet Jul-20-2016, 18:50:16 GMT
Microsoft's Outlook team has built a new self-service appointment booking service that the company will roll out to all Office 365 Business Premium users "over the coming months".

The service will provide email confirmations, rescheduling and cancellation options, and the ability for a company to reassign appointments to other staff members and add customers to centralized customer lists. Customers don't need to be Office 365 subscribers to book an appointment through Bookings. With the announcement of Bookings on July 20, Microsoft officials said the service would only be available to Office 365 Business Premium users.

Chili Piper raises $18 million to automatically schedule sales lead meetings
#artificialintelligence Aug-18-2020, 14:05:20 GMT
Chili Piper, a provider of a sales platform for booking meetings and phone calls, today announced it raised $18 million. With the fresh capital, Chili Piper plans to invest in product capabilities and expand its sales and marketing efforts worldwide. Calendaring is a common point of frustration among salespeople and potential customers. The majority of prospects want to read emails at 5 a.m. and 6 a.m., according to a 2012 report from Boomerang (formerly Baydin), but some insist on virtual meetings. In fact, a recent HubSpot survey found that salespeople spend 12% of their day scheduling calls. Chili Piper seeks to alleviate the burden through inbound scheduling automation.

Tokyo and Osaka mass vaccination centers start accepting bookings
The Japan Times May-17-2021, 20:25:03 GMT
Authorities started accepting online bookings Monday for older people to receive COVID-19 vaccines at large state-run centers in Tokyo and Osaka, as Japan tries to accelerate its rollout amid a fourth wave of infections. Residents of the capital's 23 wards age 65 or older became able to book appointments via the Defense Ministry's website and the Line messaging app service at around 11 a.m., before the launch of the vaccination center in central Tokyo on May 24. Bookings for a similar vaccination center in the city of Osaka, also set to open on May 24, started at 1 p.m. Both of the mass vaccination centers will be predominantly staffed by Self-Defense Forces doctors and nurses. The Defense Ministry said Monday that as of 8 p.m. it had filled 41,000 of 50,000 slots set aside for reservations next week at the Tokyo mass vaccination site.

Online streaming is an extremely powerful acquisition tool for the betting industry, but only one-in-twenty operators is currently taking advantage of it. With the launch of FeedConstruct's Friendship Platform – a marketplace for live matches, where content providers can sell streaming rights direct to operators – this could be about to change.
It's official: television is dead. Online streaming has revolutionised the way audiences consume media, and its growth in popularity shows no sign of slowing down. In the United States alone, experts have estimated that the number of people streaming their favourite shows online will soar to 232 million by 2020. With millions of sports fans among them, it's becoming clear that match-streaming is set to majorly disrupt the sports-betting industry, too.
Until recently, however, sports streaming has been viewed as the preserve of only the largest firms in the industry – a prohibitively expensive luxury that remains out of reach for most operators.
It was this situation that prompted FeedConstruct, the data feed wing of betting solutions supplier BetConstruct, to dream up the Friendship Platform. With the goal of delivering streaming to a wider segment of the industry, the platform offers a flexible and mutually beneficial model for both operators and content providers.
Breaking with the status quo, operators who want to offer streaming to their customer base now no longer have to purchase universal rights from sports content providers at a multi-million-dollar price-tag. Using the Friendship Platform, they can find the relevant streams they want to offer in a matter of clicks, look for offers and discounts, and purchase the right to show games or tournaments only in the markets that are relevant to them.
"By joining Friendship Platform, sports content providers are becoming decision-makers for their own content, with the ability to build their own pricing strategy and offer discounts in order to increase brand awareness in the market," explained Arabatlian. "Equally, all the federations, leagues and clubs get detailed reporting regarding match sales, helping them to understand their level of popularity versus that of their competitors.
The benefits of streaming as a potent marketing tool have been well-documented, with operators using live games to drive online traffic and promote their offers to the right fansegments. In their own investigations, FeedConstruct was able to trace a strong uptick in turnover in sports types where streaming was available alongside an operator's odds.
Currently, a mere five percent of B2C betting firms are tapping into the growth that streaming can provide. But with operators now able to access the matches and competitions they require, when and where they need them, at an affordable cost, this could soon be set to change.
Meanwhile, FeedConstruct has been developing innovative new ways to integrate live streaming seamlessly with in-play sports data and markets, premiering its new feed solution, ANJA, at Sportel Monaca this October.
An AI/ML-enhanced feed solution, ANJA is able to track and present sporting data in a faster and more efficient manner via an augmented live video stream. The solution takes its name from the third-eye chakra in Hindu philosophy, which is traditionally seen as the gateway to higher consciousness.
During the match, AJNA recognises the full gameflow including events like ball possession, danger and many more. It also offers extended personal tracking and insights that are undetectable to a human eye like player's speed or distance run per game. Such collected statistics can be converted into a number of exciting markets to bet on.
To introduce its latest concepts to partners around the globe, Feed-Construct has been running a series of workshops in multiple jurisdictions, highlighting the intuitive interface and potential benefits of its products. At present, the betting solutions supplier offers more than 11,500 live events per month covering more than 15 types of sports, and according to Arabatlian, their range of exclusive streams is growing all the time.

El Cosmos 3 (en ruso: Космос-3) era un cohete portador de la Unión Soviética basado en el misil balístico de alcance intermedio R-14U. Está relacionado con el cohete Cosmos-1 también una modificación a partir del misil R-14 y puede considerarse como una versión mejorada de este.

El desarrollo del sistema de misiles de tercera generación se llevó a cabo en dos etapas. El primero fue el portador de 11K65 Kosmos-3. El segundo fue 11K65M Kosmos-3M.

Desarrollo

La documentación de diseño para un nuevo cohete fue producida por OKB-10 en 1962. El desarrollo experimental y la fabricación de 10 cohetes que recibieron el índice 11K65 (LV Kosmos-3) se llevaron a cabo principalmente por el OKB-586 en colaboración con el OKB-10 con Reshetnev. Estaba basado en el Cosmos-1 que a su vez se basaba en el R-14. Más tarde, se empleo el R-14U, una versión mejorada del R-14, para desarrollar un nuevo cohete. Los medios soviéticos llamaron al cohete Cosmos-3. El día 16 de noviembre de 1966, el nuevo cohete hizo su primer vuelo.

Diseño

La transformación del misil de combate en un cohete portador se llevó a cabo colocando la segunda etapa recientemente desarrollada sobre la primera etapa parcialmente modificada. Las etapas estaban conectados a través de un compartimiento de transición cilíndrico. El compartimiento de propergoles de la 2 etapa es un único compartimento con un fondo intermedio que separa en los depósitos «oxidante» y «combustible». El motor de la 2 etapa está conectado directamente a la parte inferior cónica inferior del compartimento de combustible. El compartimento para instrumentos está ubicado encima del compartimento de combustible. Se basa en un bastidor de carga útil y carenado de cabeza, desprendidose a una altura de 75 km.

En el desarrollo del proyecto 11K65, el motor 8D514 del misil R-14 fue modificado y recibió el índice 11D614. Dicho fue producido en la planta de Yuzhmash (Dnepropetrovsk, Ucrania). En la segunda etapa del cohete se instaló un motor 11D47 multifuncional desarrollo por A.M. Isayeva del OKB-2. Se fabricó en Krasmash.

Los ingenieros OKB-10, por primera vez en la URSS, propusieron una solución técnica original que permite el lanzamiento de satélites en órbitas circulares mediante la introducción de una sección «pulsada» de un vuelo estabilizado. Para realizar la idea, se adoptó un esquema de dos pulsos para la inclusión del motor de marcha de la segunda etapa: el primer pulso generaba una trayectoria elíptica, en el apogeo del cual el dispositivo cambia a una órbita circular mediante un segundo encendido. El motor de tres modos (dos inclusiones en la tracción nominal y la operación del acelerador) 11D49 se desarrolló en OKB-2 (ahora el ICB "Fakel"), y se fabricó en "Krasmash", que produjo el LRE hasta 1992. OKB-10 desarrolló un sistema de bajo empuje que proporcionó un vuelo estabilizado entre dos inclusiones del motor de cohete de combustible líquido en marcha. El combustible para este sistema estaba ubicado en dos carros de combate especiales, suspendidos en la superficie exterior del tanque principal de la segunda etapa.

Los modos de funcionamiento del motor de la 2 etapa eran:

 principal. En este modo, el motor puede operar en vuelo dos veces. Al deducir un satélite a una órbita circular alta, el primer encendido del motor forma la trayectoria de la órbita intermedia en el apogeo. El segundo arranque del motor transfiere la segunda etapa del cohete al satélite a la órbita circular.
 modo de funcionamiento de las cámaras de dirección. Se usa para estabilizar el vuelo del cohete antes, durante y después de que el motor esté funcionando en el primer modo.
 modo de empuje bajo. Se utiliza para orientar el cohete y crear aceleraciones menores, proporcionando la posibilidad de reiniciar el motor en el modo principal.

En el sistema de control, por primera vez, se usaron dispositivos electrónicos de conteo y medición, que aseguran la adquisición más precisa de la nave espacial a órbitas dadas (~40 km de altitud, ~30 s en el período de circulación). El vehículo de lanzamiento podría poner hasta ocho satélites en órbita al mismo tiempo.

Vida operacional
Cosmos-3 (conocido como 11K65) fue la producción en pequeña escala, pero pronto se descubrió que el cohete tiene fallos graves. De 1966 a 1968, se llevaron a cabo 6 lanzamientos, dos de los cuales no tuvieron éxito.
El primer lanzamiento de Cosmos 3, el 16 de noviembre de 1966, lanzó el satélite tipo "Strera 2" . En total se lanzaron cuatro satélite tipo "Strare 2" pero falló dos veces. Se lanzaron dos equipadas con VKZ para el vuelo balístico y ambas tuvieron éxito. El último lanzamiento, el Cosmos-236, tuvo lugar el 27 de agosto de 1968.

Historial de lanzamientos

Cosmos 3M
La versión mejorada se llama Cosmos-3M (código de producción 11K65M)
El 11K65M comenzó su producción en masa, fue una de las herramientas de lanzamiento más importantes de la Unión Soviética durante la Guerra Fría.

[title of show] is a big ol' ball of popcorn! Pure entertainment, leave your worries in the theater lobby and enjoy the joy. Not a profound moment to be had in its 95 minute-run, and there are no political or social takeaways beginning at minte-96, but the cast members voices are strong, the musical numbers are gripping, and though the story is not O'Neil or even Sondheim, it's also not a garden-variety telling of a tale. What Busby Berkley did for Great Depression audiences, [title of show] gives its audience members respite from the daily grind of worry and anxiety. Sit back, relax and head-bop along.
The plot is simple enough: [title of show] is a play within a play; a writer (Matthew Crowie) and his lyricist-friend (Stephen Schellhardt) blithely decide to meet a three-week submission deadline and write the "best musical ever!". Along with their respective actress best friends Susan (McKinley Carter) and Heidi (Christine Sherrill), we're taken on a lyric-laden path of the highs and (sometimes really) lows of a Broadway-bound dream. Warning to those who find discomfort in a cast that crosses "the fourth wall": this fourth wall is smashed to smithereens, before the first song.
The storyline is good and solid, but the music and the voices behind it are something exceptional, particularly Sherrill's Broadway-quality belt-out of "A Way Back to Then". [title of show] is an enjoyable excursion for those who appreciate music in their musicals.
Tickets for [title of show] are $25-60, and are available by phone at 847-673-6300 or online at northlight.org. More information about the show can be found here.

Court remands man over alleged N1.3m Hajj fraud
An Ilorin Magistrates' Court on Thursday ordered that a 27-year- old man, Adam Yahya, who allegedly defrauded an intending pilgrim of N1. 3 million, pending investigation.
The police charged Yahya with three counts of criminal conspiracy, breach of trust and advance fee fraud.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
Magistrate Kudirat Yahya, ordered the accused to be remanded in a correction centre in Oke-kura, Ilorin.
She adjourned the case until Oct. 22, for further mention.
Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Insp. Mathew Ologbosaye, informed the court that the accused collected the money from the complainant, Alhassan Mohammed, to register him for the just-concluded 2019 Hajj.
Ologbosaye said the accused conspired with three other persons, at large.
The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of sections 97 and 312 of the Penal Code Law and 1(3) of advance fee fraud.
He prayed the court to remand the accused in prison custody pending the outcome of investigation. (NAN)

Manly might be forced to turn to makeshift fullback Brendan Elliot to fill the giant shoes of Tom Trbojevic, with the star No.1 set to miss the start of the NRL season due to a hamstring injury.
The Sea Eagles face the prospect of beginning the year without their biggest attacking weapon who had pulled up lame returning a kick in the club's trial loss to Cronulla.
There was some suggestion on Sunday that the NSW State of Origin ace might be out for the opening month, and not just the March 16 first-round clash with the Wests Tigers.
Manly also face defending premiers the Sydney Roosters in round two, followed by last year's preliminary finalists South Sydney and the Warriors in the opening four rounds.
If Manly's marquee man is sidelined, little-known 25-year-old recruit Elliot will likely to be moved to fullback, having assumed the role from the departed Trbojevic on Saturday night against the Sharks.
Elliot has played 40 matches in a stop-start NRL career since debuting in 2014 and spent just seven of those games in the No.1 jersey in 2017 for Newcastle.
He played only three games last year for Gold Coast before he linked up with the Sea Eagles over the summer.
It is one of several issues for coach Des Hasler, with outside backs Brian Kelly, Akuila Uate and Matthew Wright all released after the 2018 campaign and star centre Dylan Walker facing court this week on domestic violence charges.
Walker has previously pleaded not guilty to the charges, but his next hearing comes just days before the ARL Commission will meet to discuss the prospect of standing players down while serious matters are still before the courts.
Manly had rookie Reuben Garrick on one wing against the Sharks, with Jorge Taufua on the other.
Walker and Brad Parker played in the centres.
Teenager Albert Hopoate might also figure come round one, as he returns from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
The versatile back turns 18 on Monday and will be eligible to face the Roosters next week in a trial.
"He's in our top-30 squad, so anyone who is involved in that is a genuine chance," Manly captain Daly Cherry-Evans said of Hopoate.
"He's trained the house down and is going really well. He's just got back from the contact phase of his knee injury.


Heres some photos of the Testors Cosmic Wind from mid 70's that Cox later ended up with?
...and the only Plastic model sold by TYCO!
Last December i had meet Ernie Pettit, former VP at Testors. One of the questions I ask him was: "How did Cox end up with the Testors Cosmic wind model?" The answer was pretty simple, but not what I thought. Testors sold off their gas powered line of toys to Tyco Corp. and then Tyco sold it to Cox, mystery solved!
Now here's more info from part II of the video interview with Bill Netzeband the designer.
Interesting. Maybe the mould was just passed around?
Is it possible to modify a mold that much?
cribbs74 wrote: Interesting. Maybe the mould was just passed around?
It just kinda bugs me that Cox would stoop so low to buy/lease/rent a mold from Testors!
This isn't the only time something like this had happened, after Comet went under the Tri Pacer ended up with Aurora powered by the Stallion .049 and their Se5a D-7, p-40 & p-51 as screw together plastic kits.
Its possible and was common to modify the mold of these planes over the years. Some of the Comet models went thru two, three, four different engine configurations.
Here's one example, the Comet Regulas was latter re-introduced as a 'T38' with a cockpit added and the 'new' .059 Cub reedie with push button spring starter!
microflitedude wrote: Is it possible to modify a mold that much?
Depends on the mold. Some injection forming molds have hundreds of pieces that fit together, including cavity sections, springs, sprues, ejectors, etc. This high of a number is more of an exception though.
Wish it flew as good as it looks... I've still got the orig. red spinner and prop... was either a 5-2 or 5-4... but I have them both (with the spinner bracket on the props' hub) If it was designed (by Cox...) more to the size of the PT-19, it might have flown better. I'd love to build a built-up balsa version, maybe 22-24"/110-120 sq. and more elevator area.
Brodak offers a profile balsa version with a built up wing if you wanted to save some time.
Mark Boesen wrote: Heres some photos of the Testors Cosmic Wind from mid 70's that Cox later ended up with?
Actually, the very first Testor Cosmic Wind (Testor's first mold created after acquisition of AMF Wen Mac) was about 40% larger (approx. size of Cox PT-19 but somewhat heavier and with rubber band crash 'em and put 'em back together assembly) than the version under discussion. It was powered by an FRV Testor-Mac .049 and flew OK. Came in orange, white and metal plate versions.

Testors acquired Wen-Mac from AMF in 66/67, their first 'new' plane was the short lived Skyraider, the 'large' Cosmic Wind didn't come out for a couple more years. Bill touches on the first version briefly in second video.
Yes.. Those YouTube/Stunt Hangar videos of the "Wild Bill Netzeband interviews I and II" history of his years with "Testors" are quite fascinating.
As previously noted; I have the smaller "Cox version" of this model. I am hard-pressed to fly it with the "ExModel Engine's" LYNX high-performance reed-valve prize-engine... which I won by "luck of the draw" through the CEF Engine of the Month contest a while back..
You have to admit; this airplane just screams; "give me a hot engine".. Can anyone tell me who "Little Tony" was?
It may be a play on his name. I have no idea.
Thanks Ron. This would be a cool little model to fly again. I realize that it's somewhat "rare".. but it was designed for level "roundy-round" flight.. so there's less temptation to take it over the top of the circle for a stunt.


This Friday afternoon we'll be going to the Richmond Night Market. The market boasts lots of exciting food stalls serving mostly Asian food from China, Japan, Korea, Singapore etc. The market also has more than 100 merchandise stores, a mini golf course and much more. There's almost no limit to what you can find at the market, and there will also be the opportunity to enter various competitions and win great prices! Several events are also held at the market. This friday's entertainment will be delivered by musicians.
We'll meet up at 7:30pm in order for all of us to save money on the public transportation. The fares for transportation are lowered after 6:30pm. Admission is only 2.25$ and is donated by the market to the Canadian Cancer Society. So while having fun at the market you'll also be supporting a good cause.
You can get to the market by different busses. The easiest way is to connect with Canada Line Sky Train. If you're going from downtown Vancouver you can take Canada Line from the Sky Train station Vancouver City Centre Station and get off at Bridgeport Station. At Bridgeport Station you enter Great Canadian Way and turn left onto 8351 River Road, which is a 500 metre walk.
Hope to see you there for a great evening.


When it comes to men, physical attractions vs. emotional attractions are two completely different worlds. Men by nature are physical people, we like to look at things that attract us and that's why you girls constantly catch us looking away. So, that's a fact and there's nothing you can do about it. It's like telling an elephant not to eat peanuts; it's just not going to happen. If you think that your man doesn't look away you are wrong and delusional. However I do believe that if your man is constantly checking out other women in front of you it's disrespectful and just not cool.
We are with you for a reason and you should be happy and confident for that. We look away because it's in our nature. It always gets me when I see girls being jealous and fighting with their man because of this, it just shows how insecure they really are and it kills it. The worst I've seen is when a girl gets jealous over someone on TV. C'mon girls! This is just something stupid to fight over; don't do it.
Now that we have cleared what a physical attraction is lets talk about an emotional attraction. This is the one all women should worry about (and men too, I guess) because is the one that's actually a threat to your relationship. An emotional attraction is when a man is likes a woman for their personality and not necessary their looks only. This is the most dangerous because a man can actually leave you for this other person and the reason is simple, this other woman is giving him something that you're not. A lot of the times a good looking woman thinks that because she has the looks she is everything a man wants. Well, that's wrong, of course being physically attractive is VERY IMPORTANT to a man but the truth is that this is not the only factor necessary for longevity. When a man is emotionally attracted to an other woman is because the women he has at home is not giving him want he needs and therefore he is seeking it and getting it from an other place.
Instead of getting mad about this, women should really stop and think about the cause in order to be able to find the solution. When a man is getting all of his need met at home by his partner he really has no reason to look somewhere else. Next time this happens to you really look at your actions a behavior and you will find the answer you're looking for.
Believe it or not men also want someone that's understanding, has things in common and most importantly that can be our friend. In the perfect world we would have a girl with those traits plus good looks. Of course that's not always the case, but you have to remember that after so many years the good looks go away and the only thing left is the actual friendship and companionship that becomes the glue that will keep the relationship happy and alive for many years.
Words of advice to you! Never worry when your man has a physical attraction to another woman (that's normal) but worry when he's emotionally involved. At that point you have completely lost him and you're only options are to stay with him and deal with it or just simply acknowledge the fact and move on. Look back at you're mistakes and don't regret but rather learn from them and do things differently in the future.

Jennifer Aniston Is Back To Crush Your 'Friends' Reunion Dreams Once Again
🎤 No one told us life was gonna be this way ... 🎤
By Carly Ledbetter
Just like "fetch," a "Friends" reunion is just never going to happen.
Jennifer Aniston confirmed the sad news during an interview with ITV's Lorraine Kelly on Thursday.
"I don't know what we would do," the star of "Office Christmas Party" said. "I think that period of time was sort of nostalgic. I think why people have such an affection for it is because even though it was only 12 years ago it ended, or 13 it ended — God, it's getting farther and farther away — there was something about a time where our faces weren't shoved into cell phones."
Aniston added, "We weren't checking Facebooks and Instagrams ― we were in a room together, in a coffee shop together. We were talking, having conversations. We have lost that."

Whatever happened to "I'll be there for you"?
The actress isn't the only "Friends" star who agrees it would be hard ― or unnecessary ― to get the gang back together again.
Courteney Cox told fans last year that a "Friends" movie will definitely never happen and Joey Tribbiani Matt LeBlanc confessed in a HuffPost Live interview that he sides with Rachel and Monica.
"I don't see it happening," the actor said. " ... My opinion is that it shouldn't happen."

Curating Dance in Indonesia: Choreograph...
Curating Dance in Indonesia: Choreographing a Space for Self Inquiry and Socio-Political Engagement
Time: 10.00 am - 11.30 am
Venue: ISEAS Seminar Room 2
REGIONAL SOCIAL AND CULTURAL STUDIES PROGRAMME
The Politics of Art in Southeast Asia Seminar Series
Dance connects individuals to their community as well as with nature in agrarian Indonesia where nature and culture are inextricably linked. In the many ethnic cultures of the country, dance is practiced as rituals to celebrate the harvest or to ward off evil spirits. It is also a response to the drumbeat of 21st century modernity as seen in the dance/dancing in malls, TV variety shows, or as visualisations of pop songs on video clips. In both contexts, dance/dancing and its choreography are political endeavours that can be perceived as an offering to the divine, embodiment of human expressions, representation of ideas, or an exercise for critical thinking about oneself and the socio-political reality one lives in.
Curators as cultural figure might be a relatively new insertion into the context of Indonesian dance although, as a practice, curating dance has had a long history in Indonesia. Arguably I might have been the first to use 'dance curator' as a professional descriptor in the Indonesia context although historically, other terms such as artistic director or festival programmer had been employed in the country for similar work since the 1950s. I would further argue that President Sukarno was Indonesia's first dance (and arts) curator.
This seminar will examine my different curatorial projects in an attempt to understand what curating dance means in Indonesia since the crushing defeat for the Left. It will review my curatorial work with the Jakarta Arts Council –– once an ideal model and structure inherited from the country's 1968 historical moment –– and my co-curating of three editions of the Indonesian Dance Festivals over the past six years. It will address (the absence of) dance history and its historiography, reflect on the challenges, and speculate on possible directions that dance can take in addressing and choreographing a space for self-inquiry and political engagement in Indonesia.
This seminar is supported by Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS).
Helly Minarti was born and grew up in Jakarta. She works as an independent, itinerant dance scholar/curator, rethinking radical strategies to connect theory and practice. She is interested in historiographies of choreography as discursive practice vis-a-vis the eclectic knowledges that infuse the understanding of human body/nature. She worked as Head of Arts for the British Council Indonesia (2001-03) which set her off to curating. Her most recent curatorial project is Jejak-旅 Tabi Exchange: Wandering Asian Contemporary Performance, an exchange platform that takes the format of a travelling festival. She has been involved in various exchange arts projects, forums/conferences, and research fellowships in Asia, Europe and the US. She is a recipient of the British Chevening Award, Asia Fellows Scholarship, Asian Cultural Council and most recently the US-ASEAN Fulbright Visiting Scholar Fellowship. Helly earned a Ph.D in dance studies from University of Roehampton and has just relocated to Yogyakarta where she is preparing to launch LINGKARAN | koreografi, a collaborative research platform focusing to expand the critical notions of choreography.
