Literature tours of Ireland
notable novels & authors:
The Trinity Oscar Wilde Centre for Irish Writing was opened in January 1998 as the teaching and research centre for both the long-standing M.Phil. in Irish Writing and the M.Phil. in Creative Writing. The Centre was originally the home of the Wilde family and it was in the Westland Row house that the famous son of Sir William and Lady Wilde ('Speranza') was born on October 16th 1854. The Oscar Wilde Centre houses specialised libraries of writers and scholars such as Vivian Mercier, Roy McFadden and Robert Greacen.
In 1923, Yeats won a Nobel Peace Prize. A famous poet, as literary Ireland goes, he is one of few writers to ever produce his best work after winning the Nobel Peace Prize. He also served as an Irish senator for two years. He was born in Sandymount, Ireland and educated there and in London. He spent childhood holidays in County Sligo and studied poetry from an early age when he became fascinated by Irish legends and the occult. These topics feature in the first phase of his work, which lasted roughly until the turn of the 20th century.
James Joyce was an Irish, modernist writer who wrote in a ground-breaking style that was known both for its complexity and explicit content. Joyce was born on February 2, 1882 in Dublin, Ireland. He published "Portrait of the Artist" in 1916 and caught the attention of Ezra Pound. With "Ulysses," Joyce perfected his stream-of-consciousness style and became a literary celebrity. The explicit content of his prose brought about landmark legal decisions on obscenity.

literature tours of England
William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet, and the "Bard of Avon". *Be sure to take a trip and view Anne Hathaway's (Shakespeare's wife) cottage located in Stratford-Upon-Avon!
Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Be sure to check out Austen's home in Hampshire England! In the house Jane revised the three manuscripts she had written previously, but which had remained unpublished, wrote three more novels and started one more, which was destined to remain unfinished before illness overtook her. Jane left the cottage for the last time in May 1817 to take lodgings near her physician in Winchester.
British novelist Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Portsmouth, England. Over the course of his writing career, he wrote the beloved classic novels Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, Nicholas Nickleby, David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations. On June 9, 1870, Dickens died of a stroke in Kent, England, leaving his final novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, unfinished. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era.

Shakespeare's Globe
Shakespeare's Globe is the complex housing a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse associated with William Shakespeare, in the London Borough of Southwark, on the south bank of the River Thames. The original theatre was built in 1599, destroyed by fire in 1613, rebuilt in 1614, and then demolished in 1644. The modern Globe Theatre reconstruction is an academic approximation based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings. It is considered quite realistic, though contemporary safety requirements mean that it accommodates only 1400 spectators compared to the original theatre's 3000.
London Literary Pub Crawl
See where the giants of the literary world ate, drank, discussed, thought and worked. The pubs and taverns that inspired some of the greatest creative minds in the world – and still do.

literature tours of Wales
One of Wales' most commanding literary figures, with a writing career that spanned five decades and produced over 20 volumes of poetry. In 1996, at the age of 83, Thomas was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature. His collections of poetry include The Stones of the Field, Song at the Year's Turning, Ingrowing Thoughts and Mass for Hard Times.
The best-selling author of children's books. Often illustrated by Quentin Blake, Dahl's children's fiction is most often told from a child's point of view. Dahl was born in Llandaff, Cardiff, in 1916 to Norwegian parents and worshipped at the Norwegian Church in Cardiff Bay which is now arts centre. Cardiff Bay is also home to the Roald Dahl Plas, a public plaza where many events take place. His most famous works include The BFG, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda.
Owen Sheers
Poet and short story writer. Born in Fiji, Sheers was brought up in Abergavenny. He was named by The Independent on Sunday as one of Britain's Top Thirty Young Writers. The Dust Diaries, a montage of fiction, biography and travelogue, won the Wales Book of the Year 2005. In 2011, Owen wrote the script and novelization of The Passion for National Theatre Wales and WildWorks.
Hay-on-Wye is the world's largest second-hand and antiquarian book centre. Hay-on-Wye has several unmanned "honesty bookshops" with its outdoor shelves lining the outer walls of the castle. The village hosts the annual Hay Literary Festival, bringing in lots of acclaimed writers. You will find tiny outdoor bookshelves everywhere. With so much history and ambience, you could probably spend a year in each bookstore.
Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff

literature tours of Italy
Durante degli Alighieri, simply called Dante, was a major Italian poet of the Late Middle Ages. His Divine Comedy, originally called Comedìa and later christened Divina by Boccaccio, is widely considered the greatest literary work composed in the Italian language and a masterpiece of world literature. Dante's significance also extends past his home country; his depictions of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven have provided inspiration for a large body of Western art, and are cited as an influence on the works of John Milton, Geoffrey Chaucer and Alfred Tennyson, among many others. In addition, the first use of the interlocking three-line rhyme scheme, or the terza rima, is attributed to him.
Niccolò Machiavelli, or more formally Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli, was a Florentine Renaissance historian, politician, diplomat, philosopher, humanist, and writer. He has often been called the founder of modern political science. He was for many years a senior official in the Florentine Republic, with responsibilities in diplomatic and military affairs. He also wrote comedies, carnival songs, and poetry. His personal correspondence is renowned in the Italian language. He was secretary to the Second Chancery of the Republic of Florence from 1498 to 1512, when the Medici were out of power. He wrote his most renowned work The Prince (Il Principe) in 1513.
Verdi was born near Busseto to a provincial family of moderate means, and developed a musical education with the help of a local patron. Verdi came to dominate the Italian opera scene after the era of Bellini, Donizetti and Rossini, whose works significantly influenced him, becoming one of the pre-eminent opera composers in history. In his early operas Verdi demonstrated a sympathy with the Risorgimento movement which sought the unification of Italy. He also participated briefly as an elected politician. The chorus "Va, pensiero" from his early opera Nabucco (1842), and similar choruses in later operas, were much in the spirit of the unification movement, and the composer himself became esteemed as a representative of these ideals.
Santa Croce, Florence
Nearly halfway down the nave of Santa Croce stands the tomb of Niccolò Machiavelli. Though he died in 1527, his tomb was not built until 1787. Machiavelli's monument is a marble structure created by Spinazzi that bears the inscription, "Tanto nomini nullum par eulogium," or "No eulogy is equal to such a name." Also in Florence at Santa Croce you will find a memorial to Dante as both Dante and Machiavelli are from Florence.
Keats-Shelley House: Piazza di Spagna
The house at the bottom of the Spanish Steps (to the right if looking up at the church Trinità dei Monti) is where the Romantic poet John Keats died of tuberculosis in 1821 at the age of only 25. Keats came to Rome with the hope that the Mediterranean climate would cure him. For a month he enjoyed the city; he walked on the Via del Corso, the Spanish Steps and Monte Pincio. But his sickness soon got the better of him, and Keats died only three months after he arrived.
Alberto Moravia's House: Lungotevere della Vittoria
Open 1st Saturday of every month. Alberto Moravia was one of Italy's best-known writers of the post-war years. His apartment above the Tiber river, where he lived during the later part of his life, has been preserved as a small museum. The apartment appears as if Moravia has just left for groceries and at any moment will return, sit down at his sturdy wooden desk, put his fingers to his Olivetti typewriter, and begin to write. The books of his personal library fill the shelves. And be sure to check out the kitchen stylishly decorated in the 70s.

literature tours of Iceland
Gunnar Gunnarsson was an Icelandic author who wrote mainly in Danish. He grew up, in considerable poverty, on Valþjófsstaður in Fljótsdalur valley and on Ljótsstaðir in Vopnafjörður. Often considered one of the most important Icelandic writers, he wrote the novel Af Borgslægtens Historie (translated into English as Guest the One-Eyed), the first Icelandic writing ever made into a movie. He also wrote the autobiographical novel The Church on the Mountain.
Halldór Kiljan Laxness was a twentieth-century Icelandic writer. Throughout his career Laxness wrote poetry, newspaper articles, plays, travelogues, short stories, and novels. Major influences included August Strindberg, Sigmund Freud, Sinclair Lewis, Upton Sinclair, Bertolt Brecht and Ernest Hemingway. He received the 1955 Nobel Prize in Literature; he is the only Icelandic Nobel laureate.
Snorri Sturluson
Snorri Sturluson was an Icelandic historian, poet, and politician. He was elected twice as a lawspeaker at the Icelandic parliament, the Althing. He was the author of the Prose Edda or Younger Edda, which consists of Gylfaginning, a narrative of Norse mythology, the Skáldskaparmál, a book of poetic language, and the Háttatal, a list of verse forms. He was also the author of the Heimskringla, a history of the Norwegian kings.
Reykjavík City Benches
Selected city benches in Reykjavík have become literary retreats. Travelers in the city can now enjoy listening to readings from Icelandic literature by scanning a QR-code, placed on several city benches, with a smart-phone.
Reykjavík City Literary Walk
The goal is first and foremost to promote Icelandic literature in an original and fun way, but also to show the city as a literary site in different times and to cast a new light on Iceland's daily surroundings. Currently, the guided tour Dark Deeds in Reykjavik, which is free of charge, is on every Thursday at 3 pm in June, July and August. No booking is needed, you simply show up at the City Library in Tryggvagata 15, 1st floor. This walk can also be booked for groups but there is a fee to reserve a group.
Reykjavík International Literary Festival
Also known as Bókmenntahátíð í Reykjavík. Since its beginning in 1985, the Reykjavík International Literary Festival has been a major celebration of the literary culture, books and authors. The chief purpose of the festival, from the beginning, has been to introduce foreign authors and new trends in literature to Icelandic readers. Since the first festival was held, in 1985, many distinguished writers such as William Styron, Isabel Allende, Seamus Heaney, A.S. Byatt, André Brink, Günter Grass, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Kurt Vonnegut, J. M. Coetzee and Herta Müller, have honored us with their attendance. Many fine Nordic authors have also participated in the festival through the years.

UAS are everywhere, and it takes all types of technology to defeat them
The drone buzzed over U.S. ground troops in southern Syria. It was big, about the size of a Predator, and it was armed.
Without warning, it fired.
The munition "hit dirt," a Pentagon spokesman later told reporters, and a U.S. aircraft shot the UAV down. But the incident, along with a similar shootdown two weeks later, are just recent examples of the threat drones pose to U.S. and allied forces around the world. As the skies fill with everything from powerful Predator-style drones to cheap quadcopters that swarm, surveil and attack, ground troops need options to fight the full range of threats in this new era of the UAV.
"Whether it's shooting them down, jamming them or frying their electronics, we're seeing the U.S. experiment with all these different solutions, and that's good," said Paul Scharre, a former U.S. Army Ranger who now studies drones as a fellow for the Center for a New American Security. "It's very reminiscent of the early days of aerial warfare."
And with decades of experience developing the technology that has given the U.S. and allies an advantage in the air, Raytheon is ready to meet the new mission.
PHOTONS IN FOCUS
Drones, like IEDs in the Iraq War, have given small groups a cheap way to cause severe damage.
While traditional missile-defense and anti-aircraft weapons can shoot drones down, that becomes impractical when enemies can afford to launch hundreds of them at a time.
"That's not a cost-exchange ratio you want," Scharre said.
One answer, then, is a weapon that costs nearly nothing to shoot. Like a laser.
High-energy lasers offer a virtually limitless supply of ammunition. As long as there's power, a laser can fire.
"They're very, very cheap per shot. We're talking pennies," said Ben Allison, a physicist who leads Raytheon's high-energy laser product line. "High-energy lasers seem to provide the promise of being the most utilitarian solution, at the most efficient cost, with the minimization of collateral effects."
Working with a radar, sensor or spotter, a laser system would see a drone, identify it, track it and choose a weak point to attack. Then, using light particles created from electrical energy, it would focus its beam through a lens and fire. A successful laser strike would hit its target instantly and have it in a smoldering tailspin within seconds.
"Think of using a magnifying glass to burn a piece of paper," Allison said. "What we talk about with a laser is being able to target all the thermal energy on a spot."
Raytheon helped demonstrate a laser strike in 2014, when the company's Phalanx system guided a laser weapon that downed a large drone in a test over the Persian Gulf.
But in the age of the tiny quadcopter, tracking will prove a major challenge. The smaller the drone, the more agile it tends to be – far more so than the missiles, fighter jets and large UAVs many radars were built to follow.
"That particular problem is something Raytheon does very well – acquire, track and maintain that precision," Allison said.
Raytheon recently showed its advancement in laser technology in a test at White Sands Missile Range. An Apache helicopter armed with a laser used Raytheon's Multispectral Targeting System to acquire, track and focus the beam on a stationary target. The test marked the first time anyone had done that from a helicopter.
While lasers grab headlines for their sci-fi appeal and low long-term cost, another emerging technology offers similar advantages in a different way.
A MICROWAVE LIKE NO OTHER
A laser cannon is a quick, cheap way to take down one drone at a time. But what happens when there are a few hundred on the horizon?
That's a job for a high-powered microwave.
Using amped-up radio frequencies, it blasts out a powerful beam that fries the circuits of anything in its path.
Swarms, then, are "a perfect application," said Susan Kelly, a former U.S. Air Force captain who now manages high-powered microwave programs at Raytheon.
"With high-powered microwave, anything that's in our field of regard is going to come down," she said. "You can shoot down as many UAVs as can be physically possible in that field."
Raytheon's high-powered microwave system looks out into a wide-open sky during a U.S. Army test. High-powered microwaves could help defeat drones by emitting powerful radio frequencies that destroy their electronics.
Like lasers, high-powered microwaves have what military experts call an "infinite magazine," or virtually unlimited ammunition. It runs on generators, and Kelly said a single unit could conceivably fire more than a million times.
Raytheon demonstrated its Phaser high-powered microwave system for the U.S. Army in 2013. In a test at Fort Sill, the system – developed by the company on its own dime – downed two UAVs. Raytheon is planning to demonstrate the technology again for the entire Department of Defense in the fall of 2017, this time using it against up to 60 drones – including multiple targets at a time.
High-powered microwave does come with a caveat, however. Its powerful frequencies don't discriminate between allies and enemies, meaning troops couldn't simply leave it on and use it as an anti-drone force field.
"It's one part of a larger solution," Kelly said. "If I'm an Air Force commander trying to defend a base, I'm going to want my missiles there too. I want it all."
While engineers get lasers and microwaves ready for drone battle, they're also finding creative ways to use weapons that soldiers have had in their arsenal for years.
MODERN THREAT, MEET COLD-WAR WEAPON
Raytheon's Stinger missile, first built to take out Soviet aircraft and helicopters, can now do battle against drones, thanks to a simple modification. Using a device called a proximity fuze, Stinger missiles can detonate near their target, meaning they no longer need a direct hit.
That's a powerful counter to the elusiveness of tiny, toylike drones that can turn on a dime. In a recent U.S. Army test at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, Stinger missiles with proximity fuzes intercepted two UAVs – an MQM170C Outlaw and a smaller unspecified model.
Three Raytheon Stinger missiles rocket out into the open. Raytheon recently added a device called a proximity fuze to the Cold War-era missile, allowing it to destroy drones without having to hit them directly.
Stinger fires from vehicles and shoulder launchers, and it is well-known to forward-deployed gunners, said Dave Buckley, a retired U.S. Army colonel and combat veteran who now works on the Stinger program.
The modified missile gives ground troops "a lot of flexibility on that forward edge, particularly at the brigade, battalion level and below," he said. "It gives them an organic capability – something the company commander owns. They don't have to ask someone else. They have it right there."
YOU HAVE TO SEE IT TO SHOOT IT
The first part of taking down a drone is knowing it's there. And while radar does wonders for tracking aircraft and other high-flying, fast-moving objects, drones pose a challenge. Some can fly low and very slowly, and they can also hide in the blind spots that open up when radars on the ground look over the curves of the Earth.
"The farther you go out, the more of a gap there is for a drone or a UAV to take advantage of," said Jim Bedingfield, a director of missile defense programs at Raytheon.
To solve those problems, radars can pair with aerial surveillance systems to look down and detect low-flying drones, essentially eliminating their ability to hide in the contours where a traditional ground radar can't see. Tracking more objects may also require more computer processing power – an improvement that's now possible thanks to advancements in the miniaturization of computer chips.
"We're constantly looking to improve present systems like Sentinel and Patriot, and the ones that are in the development phase are looking to take the counter-UAV game to the next level," Beddingfield said.
ALL-AROUND ADVANTAGE
None of these technologies has to work alone. In fact, militaries may well want several in the same place, so they can choose which to use according to the size, number and function of the drones they're fighting.
"The advantage we have over most other companies is, we do it all in the counter-UAS world," said Bruce Grooms, a retired U.S. Navy vice admiral who now leads Navy and Marine Corps programs at Raytheon. "I don't know of many other companies that can make that same claim."

After visiting the firsh farm, we went to the bat cave and the crocodile cave.
The wave was very strong.
The bat's cave was super dark and we had to use a torchlight to go in.
Didn't take any pic inside, here's a group pic of 4 of us!
The blue sky and the eagle.
The guide began throwing chicken skin into the sea and 20-30 eagles began swooshing across the water grabbing the food.
The scene was spectacular! Something that I've never seen before.
It was almost dinner time and so we headed down to Kuah Town for dinner.
Had seafood. Lalas, crabs, fish etc etc.
My favourite shot of the day! toufu!

A former Sunday school teacher, Theodore became the girlfriend of Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner for several years, living alongside him at the Playboy Mansion. She can be seen on the famous Playboy pinball machine alongside Hefner and fellow Playmate Patti McGuire. During this time she sang with the "Singing Playmates".

At age 17, Theodore played the lead role in a local San Bernardino summer youth theatre musical production of Cinderella in 1974. The next year, she represented her native city as Miss Bicentennial. She spent one year at college before heading west to Los Angeles in July 1976 to pursue a career in acting.

August

Julia Lyndon (born August 6, 1957, in Upper Sandusky, Ohio; died August 1, 2019, in Los Angeles, California) is the pseudonym for an American model. Her given name was Lisa Rome.  She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its August 1977 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Phillip Dixon.

Lisa, the sister of actress Sydne Rome, was an equestrienne who had been in training for the Summer Olympics. In 1996 The Playmate Book reported that she was running a restaurant in South America.  She died at home in West Los Angeles on August 1, 2019, from an overdose of over-the-counter medications: aspirin, Tylenol and Sudafed.  Her remains are interred in Akron, Ohio.

September

Debra Jo Fondren (born February 5, 1955) is an American model and actress.  She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for the September 1977 issue and  Playmate of the Year for 1978.  Fondren, who lived in Beaumont, Texas, was discovered on a visit to Las Vegas by photographer Robert Scott Hooper who also photographed her centerfold.

Today, Fondren no longer participates in Playboy promotions because they place "too much emphasis on sex."

October

Kristine Winder (born October 15, 1955, in Vancouver, British Columbia and died March 14, 2011) is the pseudonym of a Canadian model. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its October 1977 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Mario Casilli. Her pictorial was titled "Invitation to the Dance", with nude shots of her in a dance studio.

Winder used a pseudonym because she did not want her father to find out, but the name change did not help. Several families in Vancouver with the Winder last name received obscene phone calls from people across North America looking for "Kristine Winder".

November

Rita Lee (born June 15, 1953, in Frederic, Wisconsin) is an American model. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its November 1977 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Richard Fegley. She was the magazine's cover model three times in the ensuing three years.

December

Ashley Cox (born November 15, 1956) is an American model and actress. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its December 1977 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Mario Casilli, Phillip Dixon and Arny Freytag.

Canadians killed in Afghan attacks
Four soldiers and one journalist dead hours after eight Americans killed in suicide blast.
Nearly 140 Canadian troops have been killed in Afghanistan since 2002 [EPA]
Canada has 2,800 troops in Afghanistan, but the mission has become increasingly unpopular at home and it is scheduled to be withdrawn at the end of 2011.
'CIA agents killed'
The deaths came just hours after news emerged that eight Americans were killed by a suicide attack at the US military forward operating base, Chapman, in southeastern Khost province, near the border with Pakistan.
Deadline to defeat the Taliban
Desertions undermine Afghan army
Afghanistan: 'Graveyard of empires'
The general's plan in Afghanistan
The home comforts of the US war in Afghanistan
The Washington Post newspaper, citing US officials, said the eight killed were working for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Defence officials said some people were wounded in the explosion but no US or Nato troops were among them.
Officials told the paper that a bomber managed to slip past security before detonating an explosive belt in a room used as a fitness centre.
The base is engaged in reconstruction projects, a key part of the strategy to stabilise the country by Barack Obama, the US president.
Washington has committed to send hundreds of US civilians to support work on development projects that aim to undermine support for the Taliban and other fighters.
And, according to the Washington Post, the CIA has been bolstering its ranks in Afghanistan in recent weeks, mirroring the increase in troops.
Wednesday's attacks are the latest in a wave that has sent military and civilian death tolls to the highest levels since the Taliban was ousted from power by US-led forces in late 2001.
Many civilians working outside Kabul have retreated to heavily fortified army bases as the security situation has deteriorated.
But foreign aid agencies warned earlier this year that the shift to the military bases, and the use of military personnel to carry out development projects, risked a dangerous blurring of the boundaries between troops and civilians.
Afghan civilian deaths
Intensified activity by US-led forces has also bred resentment among Afghans, particularly as local civilians have been killed in several attacks.
In the latest such case, Afghans took to the streets in different cities on Wednesday to protest against the alleged killing of 10 civilians, including schoolchildren, in military operations by international forces in the country's east.
A statement from the office of Hamid Karzai, the president, said the deaths occurred on Sunday in a remote part of Kunar province on the border with Pakistan.
In Jalalabad, capital of Nangarhar province, which borders Kunar, around 200 university students rallied in the streets on Wednesday, demanding those responsible for the alleged weekend attack be brought to justice.
In Kabul, the Afghan capital, a crowd of around 100 mostly young men gathered in a western district to vent their frustration at the killings.
"Obama! Obama! Take your soldiers out of Afghanistan!" the protesters chanted, wearing blue headbands with the words: "Stop killing us!"
Others held placards with pictures of young children they said were killed by foreign troops.
International forces in Afghanistan have strenuously denied the Karzai government's accusations.
Although UN figures show far more civilians are killed by the Taliban, deaths at the hands of foreigners spark wide resentment and in the country and undermine international forces' attempts to weaken the Taliban by building trust among the population.

Economics 06/02/2010: Nama stalling at the EU doorsteps
For those of you who missed my Thursday musings on Nama in the Irish Daily Mail, here is an unedited version of that article:
Two friends from the distant land of global finance have caught up with me the other day. 'What's going on with your Nama?' they demanded to know.
Their concerns were about the latest hiatus created around our Bank Rescue scheme.
Yesterday's news that NTMA is to take over management of the Exchequer affairs relating to bank shares bought with taxpayers' cash is the case in point. Apparently, NTMA – the parent institution to Nama – will hold talks on capital needs with the banks as well as engage in their realignment or restructuring. It will also advise on banking matters, and crisis prevention, management and resolution. Just exactly can this task be achieved without creating a severe conflict of interest between NTMA and Nama, or without stepping on the heels of the Central Bank and Financial Regulator is anybody's guess. But the bigger problem here is whether such a role for NTMA will constitute an undue interference in the financial markets for banks shares.
This activist approach to managing Nama news is not new, however. Following the quiet publication of the last piece of legislative jigsaw, Nama (Designation of Eligible Bank Assets) Regulations 2009, on the day before Christmas Eve, our Government has gone into an overdrive, trying to spin Nama as a panacea for all economic ills of the country.
Nama was painted as a socially responsible undertaking that will be reporting to the Government ministers on the issues of 'social dividend'. It will provide housing for the poor and will take off the market vast surpluses of unwanted properties. Nama will also deliver a healthy dividend by charging local authorities for this 'service'. But the local authorities will still somehow come on top by saving money.
Perhaps mindful of having produced too much gibberish of the above variety, our public representatives have started talking up the discounts that Nama will apply on loans it buys from the banks. Just 6 months or so ago Nama enthusiasts were saying that a 12-20 percent average discount will reflect the 'true long term economic value' of the loans? Now we are into 30-35 percent haircuts and rising.
The iron logic of finance tells us that the greater the discount Nama imposes the greater proportion of the original loan will have to be written down by the banks as a loss. This will require fresh capital, of which the taxpayers are the only source for no investor will be willing to buy new shares in Irish banks voluntarily.
By my estimates from some 9 months ago, the Irish banks will require Euro 10-13 billion of fresh capital the minute Nama goes through their books. After months of ignoring this prediction, the Government now admits as much.
But wait, as the discounts estimates increase, so are the concerns in Brussels and Frankfurt about Irish Government's plan. First, the ECB is now seriously worried about the quality of Irish banks collateral deposited in its vaults. Second, the EU Commission is more concerned that approving Nama will produce poor optics internationally, as Nama will be openly buying trash with taxpayers cash and Europe's approval.
As if these two issues were not enough, we now have two official versions of financial theory – the Frank Fahey's Proposition and an Alan Ahearne's Theorem.
The former claims that ECB is giving us a free lunch – a deeply discomforting statement from ECB's point of view as it undermines the bank's credibility.
The latter states that the banks, repaired by Nama, will "stimulate demand" for consumer loans. So our economic policy is being shaped by people who think that the banks can drive up demand for credit in the economy stuck in negative equity, with consumers facing higher taxes and falling incomes. And, of course, there is an added concern about the ordinary homeowners and their bad debts. As the Government is preparing to create another massively risky scheme for 'helping' defaulting mortgage holders, the Commission is starting to think – was Nama a limited undertaking, or will Irish banking crisis spill over into a general economic crisis as well.
Then there is an ongoing saga with loans. Back in the days before Nama Bill was passed, we were told that the Government has an excellent idea as to what security they can get on Nama-bound loans. It turns out they hadn't a clue. As Namacrats are discovering, the loans held by the Irish banks often have a secondary claim to the underlying assets. And, they are finding that the poorer the loan the lower, usually, is the underlying security.
Suppose the bank has a loan for Euro 10 million secured against the property worth Euro 5 million. Suppose Nama buys the loan for the face value of the underlying property, implying a haircut of 50%. But if loan seniority is secondary in seniority, given the recent cases of our top builders going through the insolvency courts, the post-default value of the asset is somewhere between half a million and nil. Subtract the legal costs of fighting the borrower and better-secured lenders in the courts. The state will be lucky to get a euro from the deal.
This arithmetic is not escaping the ECB. Since December, we are painfully aware of Frankfurt's intentions to close the discount window through which Irish banks have already pumped some Euro 98 billion worth of junk-rated assets in exchange for cash. By all Euro area standards, Ireland – a minnow accounting for roughly 1.8 percent of the entire common currency economy – has swallowed about 19% of all cash released by the ECB since the beginning of the crisis. More than any other country in absolute terms. Add to that the prospect of Euro 59 billion worth of Nama bonds, plus another Euro 10-12 billion for banks recapitalization, Irish banking system bailout can cost ECB up to Euro 170 billion in loans secured against, you've guessed it – unfinished estates in the middle of nowhere.
So understandably, the ECB folks are worried. By May they will start reversing junk securities they loaned against out of their vaults and back into the banks. Should they succeed, Irish taxpayers will be stuck for more cash to plug the new hole in banks balancesheets.
Which in turn will drive the quality of our collateral even lower. Mortgage rates will climb by 100-150 basis points for those of us who are still paying them down. Cost of credit for businesses will rise well into double-digit figures. Credit cards, car loans, consumer loans – all will become as rare in Ireland as polar bears in Sahara. Taxes and charges will increase – by 15-20 percent on average over 2011-2013. Instead of banks stimulating demand for credit, as Alan Ahearne suggests, Ireland Inc will be back on the slippery slope toward deeper recession.
Ultimately, it is the prospect of Ireland sliding back to rival Greece as the drag on the Euro that has been bothering my friends, as well as the ECB and the EU Commission. Sadly, their concerns are our last line of defense against Nama.

"This activist approach to managing Nama news is not new, however. Following the quiet publication of the last piece of legislative jigsaw, Nama (Designation of Eligible Bank Assets) Regulations 2009, on the day before Christmas Eve, our Government has gone into an overdrive, trying to spin Nama as a panacea for all economic ills of the country."
The government did an "A1" job in their spin on NAMA, they persuaded the shareholders into voting for NAMA so that the banks would avoid nationalisation. Blindfold nationalisation is inevitable.

Continuing our tradition of supporting the competitive robotics community, we've created a dedicated portal for FTC teams!
This portal includes a collection of our existing products. Everything is now available in one easy to find place. FTC's open robot rules allow for you to take your robot's customization to the next level, and we have everything from motors, to sensors and structural parts for your robot.
Best of luck to all teams competing in Rover Ruckus!
Build Blitz was a week-long event in which VEX engineers designed a robot to play Rover Ruckus. During this time, we strategically analyzed the new game, developed mechanisms designed to play it, and documented every step along the way.
The idea of Build Blitz is not about developing the best FTC robot to play Rover Ruckus. Instead, we focused on medium-level and inexperienced teams wanting to raise their level of play for the 2018-19 season. We want to provide these teams with the groundwork they need to succeed, while also eliminating early-season frustrations.
Similar to our last Build Blitz in 2015, we've rolled out a variety of educational materials, application examples, design guides, strategy analysis and prototyping videos. We were even sure to use some our newly released products, so that FTC teams can get a first-hand look at how they look in these new applications. For a full recap of Build Blitz, check out our blog!

Yankees drop 7th straight after another bullpen implosion | Rapid reaction
Updated: Jun. 21, 2017, 3:35 a.m. |
Published: Jun. 21, 2017, 2:35 a.m.
Joe Giglio | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
NEW YORK -- The Yankees losing streak has reached seven.
An up-and-down Michael Pineda, inconsistent offense and bullpen implosion led to a 8-3 loss to the Angels in the Bronx on Tuesday night.
Tyler Clippard opened the flood gates to a three-run Angels seventh inning, paving the way for a a loss to start the Yankees home stand.
Pineda struggled early (26 pitches in the opening frame) but settled down (5.2 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 SO) to keep the Yankees in the game--something he rarely did last season.
Los Angeles jumped on the scoreboard on an RBI single by Albert Pujols in the top of the first. That followed a lead-off double and walk to the first two batters of the game.
The Angels opened up a 3-0 lead in the second thanks to a critical error by first baseman Chris Carter on a dribbler up the line by Eric Young Jr.--the journeyman replacing Mike Trout in the Los Angeles order. Carter's error--leading off the frame--opened the flood gates for a two-run Angels rally. An RBI double off Danny Espinoza and RBI single by Kole Calhoun accounted for the unearned runs off Pineda.
The Yankees' bats were quiet early, accounting for zero hits through the first three innings. Four walks created the illusion of trouble for Angels starter Parker Bridwell, but little damage occurred.
New York's bats broke through in the fourth. Starlin Castro led off with single, getting the Yankees into the hit column and coming around to score on a sacrifice fly by Chase Headley.
An inning later, Aaron Judge crushed a solo home run to right center field to cut Los Angeles' lead to 3-2. The blast was Judge's 24th of the season. Only one Yankees right-handed hitter--Alex Rodriguez in 2007 with 30--had more in a season before the All-Star break.
The late innings became a battle of the bullpens. Chasen Shreve replaced Pineda in the sixth. The Angels turned to Blake Parker in the bottom of the sixth.
Gary Sanchez hit a blast to right-center in the sixth--a laser beam to the bleachers off Parker--tied the game, 3-3. It was Sanchez's 12th homer of the season. Sanchez now has 22 RBI in June, second in all of MLB.
Clippard entered to pitch the seventh and immediately gave the lead back to Los Angeles. Cameron Maybin launched a solo home run to left, pushing the Angels to a 4-3 lead. That was followed by a Calhoun double, a long fly out to the right-center field track by Pujols and a RBI triple by Yunel Escobar. The Angels lead was pushed to 5-3.
Clippard's night--and the damage--was done. Jonathan Holder replaced Clippard. Holder allowed a single to Luis Valbuena, scoring Escobar and moving the Angels lead to 6-3. Clippard was charged with the run. The veteran righty allowed three runs and only recorded a single out.
The Angels added a run in the eighth off Holder, plating the seventh run on an infield single from Maybin.
Valbuena crushed a home run in the ninth, pushing the Yankees deficit to 8-3.
The Yankees offense couldn't muster much off the backend of Los Angeles' bullpen, scratching only one hit across between the seventh and eighth innings.
The loss dropped the Yankees to 38-30, including a 17-21 ledger since a 21-9 start.
TURNING POINT: Maybin's home run.
SECOND GUESS: Turning to Clippard in the seventh. The veteran is totally unreliable right now and is pitching his way out of high-leverage situations.
STAT TO KNOW: The Yankees have won nine of 10 home series this season.
UP NEXT: Game two of the three-game set. Jordan Montgomery (4-4, 3.78 ERA) will oppose Ricky Nolasco (2-8, 5.01 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. EST at Yankee Stadium.

This 526-page book features 766 exquisite colour photographs of 100 double basses enshrined in its leather-bound covers, printed on high-quality paper and with varnished musical instrument images throughout.
Scheduled to be published in early 2020, The Italian Double Bass features some of the finest double basses ever made. We have secured around 90 instruments from some 50 of the great Italian makers with high-quality photography, presented in a similar style and format to The English Double Bass.

Chocolate Putins are flying off the shelves in Ukraine
When revolution gripped Ukraine at the beginning of the year, Lviv, in the country's west, was at the centre of events.
Activists set up barricades in the city and travelled to Kiev, where they helped oust the former president, Viktor Yanukovych.
Now the situation has stabilized and its residents are again enjoying the charms of this Middle European city.
But as David Stern has found out, on the eve of Ukraine's presidential elections, the people of Lviv are still very much engaged in the country's politics - albeit in their own special way.
