Six Flags Great Adventure's Polar Coaster Challenge — which finds participants riding one of the Jackson thrill park's signature rollercoasters in tank tops and shorts — is happening Saturday, Dec. 7.
Yes, temperatures in Jackson are currently expected to hit a high of 37 degrees, and a low of 20 degrees, on Saturday. But that chilly forecast won't stop intrepid participants from boarding Nitro, which reaches heights of 233 feet, drops of 215 feet and speeds of 80 miles per hour.
To take part in the challenge, participants must wear a tank top or t-shirt with sleeves elbow-length or shorter, and shorts to the knee or shorter, and need to meet the ride's 54-inch height requirement. Closed-toed shoes are also mandatory, and gloves and secured hats may be worn.

The residents in the areas of Brookline, Massacusetts that are anxious about indoor mold growth damaging their personal possessions and dangerously influencing the health of themselves and those around them no longer have to worry as they have an ally in the fight against mold! MI&T offers unbiased Brookline mold testing without a conflict of interest. Our expert technitions will answer all the questions that you have about these annoying problems and find out once and for all whether you have a mold issue or not. Our sample collection provides physical evidence of exactly what you are breathing in on a consistent basis.
We get you answers by carrying out mold testing along with a thourough visual inspection by our technician. Free mold inspections do not contain this service and are quite simply just guessing at what is going on in your house. Air sample collection gives you hard evidence about the current state of your air quality. We can take samples of air from areas you smell or see something out of the ordinary. If there are small indications of water intrusion on a wall we can do cavity samples to conclude if there is a issue beneath the surface. Surface sample collection is used when visible mold growth is present. Certain ypes of fungus are not easily airborne unless disturbed; this includes the dreaded toxic black mold stachybotrys. Identifying the species present is crucial in determining whether or not the issue could be handled by yourself or calls for professional intervention.
For clients that do have elevated levels of mold in their property, we provide a comprehensive protocol for remediation. This includes a step-by-step procedure for how the work should be handled and who should be doing the work. Mold remediation is different than a normal remodeling job. When removing infected materials, you are sending thousands of mold spores into the air. For this reason, problem areas should be contained and equipped with an airscrubber while work is being finished. After contaminated materials are removed, walls must be hepa vaccumed and treated with antimicrobial solutions and sealants. These are things that professional remediation companies have the capabilities of doing that a normal handyman would not. If this type of work is attempted by someone without the proper experience, there is a good chance they will only further the air quality issues within the property or business.
When dealing with these types of issues in your property or business, you want to make sure that you use a company without a conflict of interest. Hiring a Brookline, Massacusetts mold remediation company to carry out an inspection is an example of what you don't want to do. These companies often offer free inspections to get their foot in their door to pitch a larger, more costly job. As we already mentioned, sometimes people have tests that come back with no problem at all or one small enough to be handled on their own. A visual inspection could never tell you these types of details and some mold remediation companies would not bypass the opportunity for work by letting you know your concerns are unnecessary.
Here at MI&T, we operate under a tough code of ethics. Our inspectors are the best at determining whether or not you have a problem, where the source is, and giving you specialized advice on how to fix it. So if you are worried about your indoor air quality, call the company you can trust at 855-600-6653 (MOLD). We are thrilled to offer our services to all of the following cities around Brookline,Massacusetts.

Airshed region adds new sensors to Banff and MD of Bighorn
The Calgary Region Airshed Zone – which includes Banff, Canmore and the MD of Bighorn – expanded its air quality monitoring with new sensors.

BOW VALLEY – The Calgary Region Airshed Zone – which includes Banff, Canmore and the MD of Bighorn – expanded its air quality monitoring with new sensors.
The regional air monitoring organization announced the addition of purple air sensors in eight municipalities, including the Town of Banff and the MD of Bighorn.
The purple air sensors are low-cost real-time air quality sensors to help monitor and provide real-time data to inform residents of air quality. They use a laser particle counter to count the number of airborne particles in the air, which is used to measure air quality.
"This is an instrumental step in making sure communities can make the best decisions for the health of their residents based on air quality," Jill Bloor, the executive director of CRAZ, said in a media release. "We have 11 Purple Airs in operation, 6 waiting for installation and another 6 more looking for placements."
CRAZ has three continuous monitoring stations and a portable laboratory to help with air quality testing, according to the release. The organization monitors air quality in the Calgary region, including the Bow Valley.
An air quality station costs more than $250,000 to set-up and another $72,000 in operating costs to run per year, the organization has previously stated.
In the spring, CRAZ received the Alberta Emerald Foundation's emerald award in the air category. The foundation's award recognizes the unique approach to environmental stewardship in addressing local, regional and global environmental and climate issues.
The organization is a non-profit and created in 2007. They provide air quality services to more than 25 municipalities, 200 industry members and provincial government agencies in south central Alberta, which has a population of about 1.5 million people.

Mwamba Development Program - Food Security Aid Map · NGO Aid Map
Mwamba Development Program
This Development Program aims to improve the well-being of children, especially the most vulnerable, using an approach that is long term (15-20 years), holistic, focused on children, and seeks to enable their families, local communities and partners to address the underlying causes of poverty. These root causes are not just lack of access to the basic necessities of life like water, food or health care, but also include inequities like gender or ethnic discrimination, or abusive practices like exploitation or domestic violence that affect a child's well-being.
65 new savings groups provided interest-earning savings accounts and small, affordable loans for people who don't have access to traditional banking services, empowering them to plan for the future, start businesses, and meet their children's basic needs. 227 farmers were trained in conservation farming and post-harvest technologies in order to increase agricultural production and generate more family income. 8,029 children under age 5 were fully immunized against diseases such as measles, polio, tetanus, and tuberculosis when we partnered with the Ministry of Health to conduct immunization campaigns in remote villages. To increase clean water supplies and improve village hygiene, we rehabilitated 10 water points and conducted 37 community trainings on hygiene practices such as handwashing, food and water storage, and solid waste management. To help 202 adolescents prepare for future economic opportunities, five career guidance meetings were held for them in local schools. Realizing that 882 children were not in school in Mwamba, we presented two forums on the importance of education attended by 473 community members. 30 government partners, church leaders, and community leaders were trained in a disaster risk reduction and community preparedness model. They reviewed emergency preparedness plans to ensure that communities were resilient to disasters. 30 community leaders took part in a series of meetings that equipped them to handle cases of child abuse and child rights violations.

Fallout from Ashley Madison Hack Continues, and Other News
August 28, 2015 • Contributed by Zawn Villines, GoodTherapy.org Correspondent
A cyber hack in July that released the names of thousands of users associated with Ashley Madison, a dating website designed to help its users find affair partners, may have long-term social impacts. The Toronto police are currently investigating an unconfirmed connection between two recent suicides and the data leak. The email addresses of both suicide victims may have been included in the leak.
The department is encouraging the public to come forward with any information about the hack and has set up a Twitter account, @AMCaseTPS, soliciting information about the case. Ashley Madison's parent company, Avid Life Media, is offering a reward of $500,000 (Canadian dollars) to anyone with information that leads to the hackers' identification.
Though the hack revealed that married celebrities such as Josh Duggar may have used the site, some evidence suggests that not all names associated with the leak were actual users. The site does not require users to validate their email addresses, so it is difficult to determine whether the owner of each email address actually created an account.
Since 2009, the Federal Trade Commission has fielded 59 complaints from users who say their information was used without their permission. Among the complainants are a father whose 12-year-old daughter's email address was used to create an account and a woman who was on maternity leave when someone used her work email address to sign up for the adultery site.
So far, at least four potential class-action suits, seeking damages in excess of $500 million, have been filed against Ashley Madison.
Does Having a Hobby Increase Your Happiness?
Scientists have uncovered a link between pleasurable activities and cognitive function, but linking hobbies to happiness may be more challenging. Happiness can be challenging to define, and it is difficult to go beyond simple correlation to prove a causal connection between hobbies and happiness. Moreover, some hobbies can be taken to an extreme; exercise or watching television might be healthy or therapeutic in small doses, but exercise addiction and screen addiction can both undermine well-being.
Lea DeLaria Asks 'What's Not to Love?' in Body-Positive Video
Lea DeLaria, who plays Boo on Orange is the New Black, originally gained fame as the first openly gay comic to appear on The Arsenio Hall Show and participate in the late-night comedy circuit. Now, she is encouraging people to embrace body positivity—regardless of size—with a new video. In the video, DeLaria strips down to her underwear while discussing body image and talking about her history with stand-up comedy.
Market Psychology: Smart People Make Dumb Mistakes
A week of stock market swings has led some psychologists to point out that high intelligence does not necessarily mean immunity to panic when the market shifts. Cognitive biases can play a role in poor decision-making. For instance, the inertia bias can trick people into believing that something falling will continue to do so, while something that rises will continue to go up. Market watchers may give into this bias and start to become anxious, convinced that the market will continue falling indefinitely.
Mixed Findings on Pot's Effect on the Developing Brain
The debate about marijuana's effects on the developing brain is continuous, and scientific studies do not point to a clear answer. In one recent study, researchers found that marijuana use likely did not affect the size of the amygdala, a brain region that helps process emotion and memory. A second study found that marijuana use in the teen years may increase one's risk for developing schizophrenia if that individual already carries a high genetic risk for the mental condition.
People With Autistic Traits May Be More Creative, Study Suggests
A survey of 312 people who anonymously completed an online questionnaire about autism suggests that those who have more traits associated with autism are more likely to have greater creative problem-solving skills. Subjects did not have a diagnosis of autism; they simply had more autistic traits than average.
A creativity test required subjects to think of as many uses for a brick or paper clip as possible—a process known as divergent thinking. Even though subjects with higher levels of autistic traits produced fewer ideas than those with lower levels, researchers found that the quality of the ideas was generally more original and unusual in nature, causing researchers to hypothesize that people with more autistic traits may draw from more complex mental strategies first.

Affair Recovery: 5 Steps to Repairing Your Relationship
I know that there were probably a few innocent people who have been hurt by this Ashley Madison hack, but for the most part it is time to simply own up to the mistakes if you created the account and put that information out there.
TV watching a hobby? Don't think so
I think that as far as the pot studies go, the findings that come out are all going to depend on the entity that actually funds the research.
Way to go Lea… that's awesome!
I am in no way taking sides, but i fail to see just who is benefiting from releasing the names and email addresses of those who have been caught up in the whole affair website debacle. I can understand that as a wife or husband you may want to know about your own spouse or significant other, but why would I ever release that information that could cause that same kind of hurt for other couples? Some people are just in it for the notoriety and to honestly just be mean.
August 31st, 2015 at 3:48 AM
We all become prey to the fall of the stock market because it is hard for many of us to see that this has to be a long term game. We are too ready to make a quick fortune but not so ready to lose it just as quickly.
But eh, so it goes with a volatile game like stocks.
August 31st, 2015 at 10:31 AM
It is very easy for me to agree with what Lea DeLaria had to say… for other people… but then it is significantly harder for me to agree with it when I am thinking about myself and the way that I feel about my own body. I want others to have a positive body image no matter their size, but then that somehow all gets lost when I start thinking about what I want for me. I want to have that typical image of what we think of as a sleek and toned body, and if I didn't work hard at having that, would I be so supportive of saying that other people should just accept their bodies as they are? Not sure.
August 31st, 2015 at 2:29 PM
Not sure that I would say that my hobbies bring me happiness, but they do help me to relax when I knit, which is what I like to do in my spare time.
September 2nd, 2015 at 11:18 AM
Given that there are so many differing opinions on the effect that marijuana has on the brain I am not sure that there will ever be a real consensus on what the long term effects of use will be.
I think that just like anything else, there are going to be those who have no negative long term effects from continual use and then there will be others who very much struggle with abuse issues.
The sad thing is that you never know for sure which category you may fall into.

MBAPPE SCORES IN PSG WIN
Soccer News September 26, 2021
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E-w_9JpWQAgVnxU.jpg
French international Kylian Mbappe returned from injury to score one of the goals as league leaders Paris Saint Germain (PSG) thrashed Clermont Foot 4-0 at home on Saturday to open a five-point lead at the top of the French Ligue 1 table.
In their week five encounter in the French top flight this season, KylianMbappe and PSG were able to hand previously unbeaten Clermont Foot a big defeat. Clermont Foot have punched above their weight in the opening weeks of this French Ligue 1 season. The newcomers recorded two wins and two draws from their first four games of the season in the league.
French World Cup winner KylianMbappe was a big doubt to start the game at home to Clermont Foot after picking up a calf problem while he was on duty with France during the recent international break. Mbappe picked up the injury in the 1-1 draw at the home of Ukraine in the qualifying campaign for next year's FIFA World Cup tournament onAsian soil. Qatar are the hosts of next year's World Cup.
PSG were already without the attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Angel Di Maria due to national team commitments. The absence of Mbappe for the visit of Clermont would have been a tricky one for PSG. In the end, Mbappe recovered from the aforementioned calf injury to take his place in the starting XI for the visit of Clermont Foot to the Parc des Princes.
Spanish defensive midfielder Ander Herrera was the unlikely hero for PSG after he scored twice in the first half. KylianMbappe added a third goal ten minutes after restart before Senegalese midfielder IdrissaGueye sealed the big win on 65 minutes. Mbappeplayed 79 minutes before he was replaced by Argentine striker Mauro Icardi as manager Mauricio Pochettino turned attention to the start of this season's Champions League group stage campaign next week.
PSG have extended their lead at the top of the table to five points after the win over Clermont Foot. The Mauro Pochettino-led team made it a perfect record of 15 points from five games with the win over the newly promoted team on Saturday.

What is the point of a guarded foot pedal control?
October 15, 2018, 2:49 pm - A guarded foot pedal control station is an alternate control system for all lift tables. Guarded foot pedal control stations are very popular because it gives operation to the table while having the operator's hands free. This gives the operator the ability to keep working while adjusting the height of the lift table. The guarded foot pedal control pedals are protected by a steal cover to help prevent any falling debris from operating the table. A guarded foot pedal control station isn't always necessary but can be very helpful depending on what the application is.
Why are there more and more steel face loading dock bumper in use?
Loading dock bumpers are designed to stop an incoming truck and prevent damage to the building. When the truck is in position and the loading begins it is common for the truck bed to raise and lower due to the weight change. The back of the truck is tight to the face of the dock bumper; this up and down movement causes abrasion to the face of the dock bumper and puts stress on the dock bumper anchor bolts. A laminated dock bumper with a steel face absorbs the energy from the truck as it is backed into position. During the loading process the truck bed up and down movement now slides on the steel face of the bumper significantly removing the abrasion factor and also lowers the stress on the anchor bolts.

Corps suspends Columbia coal port studies: Another blow to Big Coal
By Joel Connelly on September 15, 2014 at 4:15 PM
A coal train passes an oil train near the Magnolia Bridge early this summer, after tanker cars derailed. Export-bound coal and refinery-bound oil threaten to become the Northwest's "supreme shipping commodities" crowding our region's trade dependent economy..
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has suspended environmental studies of Ambre Energy's proposed coal barge terminal on the Columbia River near Boardman, Oregon.
The Corps' action comes a month after Oregon's Department of State Lands denied authorization for the controversial project, which if developed would barge up to 8 million tons of coal each year through the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area.
The coal would be loaded downstream onto ocean-going vessels, presumably for shipment to China.
Desperate for new markets overseas, the coal industry has suffered a series of setbacks as it has sought to develop huge export terminals in Northwest ports. The terminals would receive coal from trains, each a mile to mile-and-a-half long, and ship it to China.
China accounts for an estimated 45 percent of the world's coal consumption each year, and has surpassed the United States as the world's greatest source of greenhouse gas emissions.
The one big victory for Big Coal has come north of the border.
Port Metro Vancouver, a corporation created by the Canadian government, last month approved the Fraser Surrey Dock proposal. The plan is to ship U.S. coal by barge from a terminal near the mouth of the Fraser River to Texada Island in the Strait of Georgia. It would then be loaded onto ocean-going ships.
The Corps' suspension was hailed by opponents, who fear that coal trains would cause pollution and congestion here, and that U.S. coal would be used to extend the lives of old, polluting power plants in China.
"Ambre's coal export terminal proposal is dead in the water without state or federal permits: Ambre cannot start exporting U.S. coal on uncovered coal trains that will pollute land and water along the Columbia River," said Brett VandenHeuvel of Power Past Coal, a coalition of green groups.
The state of Oregon's decision to reject Ambre's terminal — a decision strongly backed by Gov. John Kitzhaber — has been appealed by the Port of Morrow and the State of Wyoming. The export-bound coal would come from Wyoming and Montana mines.
The Oregon Department of Lands acted out of "apparent dislike for the commodity" to be exported, argues Wyoming's appeal, which added. "One state cannot unilaterally stop interstate and foreign commerce to the detriment of its sister states."
If the appeal succeeds, Ambre Energy could ask the Army Corps of Engineers to resume its studies, which included preparation of an environmental impact assessment.
Just two coal port proposals remain on the table out of an original six — but they are the biggest.
One is the proposed Gateway Pacific project at Cherry Point north of Bellingham, which could ship more than 50 million tons of coal to China each year. It suffered a major setback, however, with election of four conservationist-backed candidates to the Whatcom County Council. The council has major permitting authority over the project.
As well, Gateway Pacific has faced determined opposition from the Lummi Indians, who claim it interferes with economic and cultural tribal rights. The Army Corps of Engineers has to take Indian treaty rights into account in permitting decisions.
The other major proposal on the table is Millennium Bulk Terminals' proposed export port at Longview on the Columbia River. The Australian-based Ambre Energy also has a big share in the Millennium proposal.
The Alliance for Northwest Jobs & Exports, a coal industry-railroad group lobbying for export terminals, tweeted that the Ambre setback has no impact on either Gateway Pacific or Millennium, saying:
"Army Corps' decision has NO bearing on two existing WA port projects. All are designed to meet and surpass region's environmental standards.".

The EETimes quotes the redoubtable Rob Enderle describing Intel's 80 core effort as "revolutionary" - but compare it to PPC/Cell and I think a different word applies: pathetic.
Sounds pretty cool, but I think it actually demonstrates just how far out of touch Intel has let itself get.
On the obvious side, every advanced GPU has more than 80 cores - and their software mostly works now. More importantly, however Intel's product is still five years out, there's no software, Intel's compiler research has tanked, and IBM's cell patent blocks their path because it's precisely about how you make a general purpose grid work in silicon.
Cell is, furthermore, available today -and you can get nine of them plus a steak dinner for the price of a single 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Quad.
Our Cell BE compiler implements SPE-specific optimizations, including support for compiler-assisted memory realignment, branch prediction, and instruction fetching. It addresses fine-grained SIMD parallelization as well as more general OpenMP task-level parallelization, presenting the user with a single shared-memory image through compiler-mediated partitioning of code and data and the automatic orchestration of the data movement implied by this partitioning. Using benchmarks suitable to this platform, we demonstrate average speedup [relative to standard compilers] factors of 1.3 for SPE-specific optimizations, 9.9 for SIMDization, and 6.8 for task-level parallelization.
That same EETimes article quotes the redoubtable Rob Enderle describing Intel's effort as "revolutionary" - but compare it to PPC/Cell and I think a different word applies: pathetic.

Nograles Says President Duterte's "Revelations" About Presidential Bets Based On "Vetted Intel Reports"
January 25, 2022 by Alex
President Duterte's "revelations" about the presidential aspirants will be based on "vetted intel reports", according to Nograles.
NOGRALES — President Duterte's "revelations" about the presidential aspirants for the 2022 elections will be based on "vetted intelligence reports" to which only the President would have access.
Cabinet Secretary and acting Presidential Spokesperson Karlo Nograles gave this assurance to the public during the Presidential press conference on Tuesday, January 25, wherein he was asked how credible such revelations would be.
Photo: Office of the Presidential Spokesperson / Facebook
"Sinabi naman ni Pangulo kagabi na syempre, as President, he has [a] wide array of sources of information," Nograles said, referring to the "Talk to the People" public briefing that the President led on Monday night.

In the pre-taped portion of the "Talk to the People" public briefing aired Tuesday morning, the President announced that he would soon tell the public about the alleged negative issues hounding the so-called "presidentiables".
The President even gave a couple of teasers as he described one presidential aspirant as "too corrupt" and another as "unworthy" of the highest post in the land.
The President has assailed practically all of the presidential aspirants in the past.
However, the President shunned political talk in his late-night briefings during the past two months as he focused on the ongoing pandemic and the crisis caused by typhoon "Odette".
Nograles also stressed that the President knew that it's his duty as the President to inform the public and it's up to the people what they will do with the information.
Meanwhile, presidential aspirant Manila Mayor Isko Moreno said that it's the President's right to name the presidential candidates who were supposedly unfit for the top post.

J.T. Lauder Homestead
Lumsden RM 189, Saskatchewan, S0G, Canada

Lauder Farm
The Fieldstone Inn/Brennan Farm Residence
History of the building and its surroundings
The J. T. Lauder Homestead is a Municipal Heritage Property located in the Rural Municipality of Lumsden No.189, approximately seven kilometres east of the Town of Craven. The property, approximately five hectares in area on the south slope of the Qu'Appelle Valley, features a 2½-storey fieldstone farmhouse built in 1903, situated on a scenic landscape of natural pasture and bush.
The heritage value of the J. T. Lauder Homestead lies in its status as one of the oldest, occupied homes in the RM of Lumsden. The land, on the south slope of the scenic Qu'appelle Valley, was sold in 1892 to Helen Lauder, a widow, and her son James, who arrived from Scotland in 1884 and farmed in the Condie area. Originally named "Eildon Vale" after the Eildon Hills in Scotland, the three-storey cut-fieldstone Victorian farmhouse was built for the Lauders by stonemason Quinton Pettigrew from Lumsden in 1903. Five generations of the Lauders lived in the home until 1968.
Heritage value also lies in the architecture and construction of the farmhouse, which reflects a Folk Victorian style seldom seen in typical Saskatchewan farmhouses. The building is one of the few fieldstone farm houses in the area utilizing stones found on the valley floor and features massive two-foot thick walls, with the interior covered with lath and plaster, as well as six inch, planked-fir floors, deep window boxes with original fir wainscoted jams, an original staircase and a large window with stained glass upper sashes. The front verandah features sculptured columns, a lower railing with carved wooden spindles and an upper railing treatment along the verandah ceiling of bric-a-brac made with shorter spindles which speak to its Folk Victorian style.
Located on a slope of the scenic Qu'Appelle Valley, the house overlooks its farm and pastureland, and is adjacent to a nature preserve with natural prairie grassland.
Rural Municipality of Lumsden No. 189 Bylaw No. 1/91.
The heritage value of the J. T. Lauder Homestead resides in the following character-defining elements:
-elements that reflect the building's architecture and construction, including the cut fieldstone, two-foot thick walls, deep window boxes with fir wainscoted jams, original staircase with a stained glass window, verandah with spindlework detailing, combination hip and gable roofline with dormers;
-its location on a parcel of land in the scenic Qu'Appelle Valley overlooking its farm and pastureland.

I see a lot of folks try to flip cameras as they go from one model to another. I know for many, the economic realty is a need to trade-in or re-sell gear in order to upgrade. The truth however is that the amount you'll see for used gear may not be worth as much as you'd hope. I subscribe to the belief of putting the gear to work.
When it comes to shooting time-lapse, a second camera body (or even a third) can really come in handy.
You can shoot different focal lengths on each body to create dramatically different shots. You can get your master shot and some additional angles all at once.
A spare body can be especially useful if you are shooting content that requires simultaneous coverage like an event or live process, such as at a construction site.
Shoot raw on one camera and JPEG on the other.
Chances are you have at least a few lenses in your bag… put them into use on that next shoot.
Be sure to check out the Triple Exposure website – www.3exposure.com – for more on time-lapse.


CHARLIE NICHOLAS says Arsenal need to sign a top striker and a holding midfielder to boost their title chances.
However, the former Gunners striker does not think Arsene Wenger will buy any more players before the transfer window closes.
Arsenal have been the least active Premier League club in the transfer market so far, with Petr Cech's £10m arrival from Chelsea their only signing.
They withdrew from the race to sign Morgan Schneiderlin before he joined Manchester United due to his £25m fee but have been heavily linked with Karim Benzema, Edinson Cavani and Grzegorz Krychowiak.
And while Arsenal bounced back from their opening weekend defeat to West Ham to beat Crystal Palace on Sunday, Nicholas feels they are still missing the final piece required to end their 11-year wait for the title.
"Arsenal are strong and I've tipped them to win the Premier League but I would still like to see them sign another holding midfield player," Nicholas told Sky Sports.
"Francis Coquelin will be walking a tight-rope every week because of the way he plays and he'll pick up suspensions, so another defensive midfielder would be good.
"Wenger's got Mikel Arteta, who can do a job there, and he's also got a couple of young kids who he wants to fill that role, but I think he'll let Mathieu Flamini go.
"Also, if a top, top player comes along like Real Madrid's Karim Benzema, I would take him in a heart-beat.
"However, I don't think Wenger will go into the market."

Die Große Ausstellung Düsseldorf 1926 für Gesundheitspflege, soziale Fürsorge und Leibesübungen (GeSoLei) vom 8. Mai bis 15. Oktober 1926 in Düsseldorf – nach anderen Quellen Große Ausstellung für Gesundheit, soziale Fürsorge und Leibesübungen Düsseldorf – war mit 7,5 Millionen Besuchern und 400.000 m² die größte Messe der Weimarer Republik. Ihre politische und soziale Zielsetzung war die Erziehung zum neuen leistungsfähigen Menschen.

Lage

Die Ausstellung fand auf dem alten Messegelände in Düsseldorf-Pempelfort und Düsseldorf-Golzheim statt, wo bereits 1902 die Große Industrie-, Gewerbe- und Kunstausstellung die Messe in Düsseldorf begründete. Hier fand später auch die IGEDO statt. Nahe gelegen sind der Rheinpark (der 1925 für die GeSoLei gegen Hochwasser erneut aufgedeicht werden musste), die neue Messe und der Flughafen. Einen Überblick zur Themenvielfalt vermittelte ein Lageplan.

Ausrichtung und Themen
Die Ausstellung war vor allem von neuem Optimismus und der zunehmenden Wirtschaftskraft des Rheinlandes geprägt, ausgelöst durch die allgemeine Konsolidierung Deutschlands Mitte der 1920er Jahre (Politik von Gustav Stresemann, Einführung der Rentenmark, Annahme des Dawes-Plans). Die Gesamtinitiative für den Bereich Gesundheit und Sozialhygiene ging von dem Pädiater Arthur Schloßmann aus, mit maßgeblicher Unterstützung des Düsseldorfer Industriellen und Mäzens sowie des Präsidenten der Industrie- und Handelskammer, des Kgl. Preuß. Kommerzienrats Carl Rudolf Poensgen. Der Medizinhistoriker Wilhelm Haberling organisierte die Ausstellung Zweitausend Jahre Gesundheitspflege am Rhein, verbunden mit dem Ehrensaal rheinischer Naturforscher und Ärzte und erhielt dafür die Goldene Medaille der GeSoLei. Von 1925 bis 1927 war die Ärztin Marta Fraenkel als wissenschaftliche Geschäftsführerin bei der GeSoLei tätig. Insgesamt gliederte sich die Messe in folgende Bereiche:

 Gesundheit
 Alltagshygiene
 Sport
 Arbeitsverhältnisse
 Vererbungslehre

60 Prozent des Messegeländes präsentierten sich als Vergnügungspark. Erstmals in Deutschland wurden auf der Messe Autoscooter präsentiert.

Architektur

Leitender Architekt für den städtebaulichen Gesamtentwurf war Wilhelm Kreis (1873–1955). Für den Bau der Einzelbauten wurden insgesamt zwanzig verschiedene Architekten herangezogen. Nicht nur von den herausragenden Dauerbauten von Wilhelm Kreis, auch durch die große Anzahl an Musterhäusern und Wohnungen, die nach den damals modernsten Maßstäben sauber und rationell eingerichtet wurden, gingen belebende Impulse für den Wohnungsbau in Düsseldorf aus. Nach Abschluss der Ausstellung sollten die von Kreis errichteten Dauerbauten ein an den Kunstpalast angegliedertes Kunstmuseum, ein Wirtschaftsmuseum, eine große Versammlungshalle und ein Restaurant aufnehmen. Alle übrigen Gebäude waren nur für die Dauer eines Jahres bestimmt. Eine Vielzahl von Pavillons und Bauten wurde darüber hinaus von führenden Architekten der Weimarer Republik, unter anderem von Max Taut und Peter Behrens, geschaffen:
 Die heutige Tonhalle als Mehrzweckhalle und Planetarium "Rheinhalle" durch den Architekten Wilhelm Kreis (Düsseldorf/Dresden) – mit Mosaiken von Heinrich Nauen – erbaut und erst 1979 zum Konzertsaal umgebaut,
 der Ehrenhof – der heute das Museum Kunstpalast mit dem ehemaligen Kunstgewerbemuseum und der städtischen Kunstsammlung und das 1998 eröffnete NRW-Forum Kultur und Wirtschaft beherbergt – ebenfalls von Wilhelm Kreis unter Einbeziehung des alten Kunstpalastes für die Messe errichtet,
 die Rheinterrasse als Café und Groß-Restaurant vom Architekten Wilhelm Kreis realisiert,
 das Vasenol-Kinderheim, ein Mustersäuglingsheim "zur Vermittlung grundlegender Gedanken zur modernen Kinderpflege unter organisatorischer Leitung des Vaterländischen Frauenvereins Düsseldorf", durch den Architekten Karl Ackermann gebaut (nach anderen Quellen Eduard Lyonel Wehner); die Leitung des Heimes übernahm Erna Eckstein-Schlossmann, die Frau des jüdischen Direktors der Kinderklinik Düsseldorf und Ordinarius für Kinderheilkunde bis 1935, Albert Eckstein.
 Ausstellungsgebäude Henkel von Walter Furthmann, auch GeSoLei-Saal, 1927 wiederaufgebaut als Verwaltungsgebäude der Henkel-Werke an der Henkelstraße 67 in Düsseldorf-Holthausen

Kunst
Mit der "Gesolei" im neuerbauten Ehrenhof und dem anschließenden Rheinpark erneuerte die Stadt Düsseldorf gleichzeitig ihren Ruf als Kunst- und Ausstellungsstadt. Wilhelm Kreis, der Architekt des Wilhelm-Marx-Hauses, wurde von der Bauherrin der städtischen Anlagen, der Bürohausgesellschaft, mit dem Entwurf und der Errichtung der Bauten am Ehrenhof beauftragt. Die Mosaiken und Glasfenster waren von Heinrich Nauen und Thorn-Prikker, die Plastiken von Bernhard Sopher, Ernst Gottschalk, Carl Moritz Schreiner und Arno Breker. Im Rundbau des Planetariums, auch Rheinhalle genannt, befanden sich elf Arbeiten der damals noch jungen Düsseldorfer Maler Jankel Adler, Fritz Burmann, Josef Bell (1891–1935), Carl Cürten, Artur Erdle, Bernhard Gobiet, Werner Heuser, Arthur Kaufmann, Heinz May, Walter Ophey und Adolf Uzarski.

Publikation
Die GeSoLei entfaltete im Rahmen ihrer "sozialhygienischen" Aktivitäten eine rege Publikationstätigkeit. So erschienen von Sommer 1925 bis Sommer 1926 eine Tageszeitung und eine Zeitschrift mit dem Namen "Gesolei" mit zahlreichen, vor allem sozialpolitischen Beiträgen. Der Filmregisseur und Experimentalfilmer Walter Ruttmann schuf 1925/1926 zusammen mit Lotte Lendesdorff und Julius Pinschewer für die Ausstellung den dreiminütigen Animationsfilm Der Aufstieg, in welchem die Erneuerung des Deutschen Michels propagiert wurde.

Kritik
Mehr als die Ausstellung selbst geriet ihr für damalige Verhältnisse äußerst moderner Kurztitel GeSoLei in die Kritik der Zeitgenossen. Der Schriftsteller Ludwig Finckh erhielt im April 1925 eine Anfrage vom Landesausschuss für hygienische Volksbelehrung mit der Bitte um einen Beitrag, konnte jedoch nur irritiert antworten: "Nun muß ich Ihnen tief beschämt gestehen: meine Bildung hat gänzlich versagt. Und es bleibt mir nichts anderes übrig, als Sie selber zu fragen: was heißt Gesolei? Wahrscheinlich würde ich sehr gern mittun, wenn ich wüßte was es heißt". Die Kölnische Volkszeitung bezeichnete das Kürzel als "ein total unglückliches Wort". Die München-Augsburger Abendzeitung nannte das Kürzel "gedanken- und geschmacklos", die Wiener Feuerbestattungszeitschrift Phoenix schrieb, "Gesolei – ein der Eselei sehr nahestehendes Wort –, die der Sprachverblödung die Krone aufsetzt". In den Ärztlichen Mitteilungen vom 7. November 1925 forderte ein Mediziner: "An den Pranger mit so einem blödsinnigen Namen […]". Oskar Streicher bezeichnete das Kürzel in der Zeitschrift des Deutschen Sprachvereins 1926 schließlich als "Scheusal".

Sonstiges
Der Düsseldorfer Maler Fritz Reusing erstellte 1925 ein Gemälde des Messe-Vorstandes der GeSoLei, auf dem auch Wilhelm Kreis abgebildet ist.

Es wurde auch ein Schlager zur Ausstellung komponiert und auf Schallplatten vertrieben, für die mit Postkarten geworben wurde. Der große Gesolei-Schlager hatte den Titel: Der Gesolei-Kuss und den Refrain: Geh so leih mir doch dein Mündchen.

Angeregt durch die Ideen der Ausstellung nannten Elsdorfer Bürger 1926 ihre neue Siedlung (ab 1924), zwischen Elsdorf und Etzweiler gelegen, Gesolei-Siedlung. Sie erfuhr in den 1950er Jahren noch einmal eine Erweiterung, wurde aber vor dem späteren Abbaggern zusammen mit Etzweiler nach Elsdorf-Neu-Etzweiler an den Rand des Rheinischen Braunkohlereviers umgesiedelt.

Speziell für diese Veranstaltung richtete die Rheinbahn eine Sonderlinie ein. Die Linie G verkehrte vom Hauptbahnhof aus zur Veranstaltung nach Golzheim.

On Saturday, I walked home from the hospital – that's how close it is to our new home.
Well, perhaps walking is an overstatement.
I cling to Rob's arm and waddle slowly. While elevation of the leg is part of the treatment for cellulitis, once the inflammation has cleared, it is important to walk, as the calf muscle is the pump that makes the lymphatic system work and reduce swelling.
The walk is made even slower by the fact that I want to stop and exclaim at everything, which appears luminous with colour – especially after having lived behind a yellow curtain in a hospital room for the past week.
Outside Tanglin Post Office, I stop to admire a type of bird of paradise with a creamy lemon and ruby red flower that is growing next to the footpath.
"Come on!" says Rob, who is carrying my bags. Having been in Singapore for two months already, the novelty of seeing tropical flowers everywhere, rather than just in a hot house at the Fitzroy Gardens Observatory, has somewhat worn off.
Naturally, when we arrive home five minutes later, I am exhausted – and sweaty.
I lie on the couch, admiring the lattice of light green foliage from the many pots on the patio, and then, having worked up an appetite, offer to make a sandwich for lunch.
"Can you manage that?" Rob asks in amazement.
"Can, can lah!" I reply.
Yes, it's happening already. The week in hospital gave me a crash course in Singlish. A few days earlier, as Dr Lim is sticking yet another needle in my hand, I exclaim involuntarily: "Torture, lah!" – to the great surprise and amusement of the nurses.
Like Australia, Singapore is a nation of immigrants, and Singlish is the result: a blend of Chinese, Malay, English, Tamil and local dialects.
So next time I am faced with a medical emergency I will dial triple jilo, and ask the ambulance to chop chop.
But for now, even making a sandwich is an effort.
In fact, I am so blur all I can do is relak on the couch and use eyepower as Rob unpacks and organises everything and makes me a cup of teh.
Correction: In case of emergency in Singapore you should dial 999 – not triple jilo, my friend Ida informs me. However, it is triple jilo in Melbourne.
I want one of those plants, lah!


The servicemen of the French troops who fought on the Allied side in the World War II used both domestic and foreign-made boots. In addition to the extensive use of army boots models 1917, 1919 and 1941, different foreign boots were also wide-spread, for example, British "Ankle boots" of black grained leather with reinforced toe and heels, featuring seven pairs of round eyelets for textile laces. The out-soles of these boots were made of very thick leather (about 2.5 inches), padded with 13-15 large boot nails and four nails with metal tips on the heels. Each size boots had three variants of width. It was a very strong and reliable boots, capable to withstand extremely harsh conditions of the North African desert.
After the Allied landings on November 8, 1942 in North Africa, the French Marines were equipped with the American boots model US17, reddish-brown, made of smooth calf leather. Their main difference from the British boot, except small details (such as the number lacing eyelets or peculiarities of stitching) consisted of a layered structure of the out-soles, and the addition of synthetic rubber tread. The out-soles were attached to the top of the boots by the "Goodyear" welt construction method, and the out-soles were additionally padded with small brass studs with flat heads. These boots were used in Italy in the years 1943 and 1944, usually with army model M30 khaki-coloured canvas gaiters.
In general after the year 1942 the French paratroopers, as well as their British colleagues, already wore American paratrooper's boots.
The French paratrooper boots model 1950 (Bottes de saut Mle 50), as the name implies, were used by paratroopers, and they are fundamentally different from the boot model Mle 52 by the design of the top: they had no straps with buckles but featured shallow and low lacing (to select the most appropriate lacing scheme that made it possible to fit the boot's width comfortably), as in the modern Italian paratroopers boots Scarpe militari: "Anfibi" da para.
At this the design of the counter of the French Mle 50 boot is exactly the same as on the Mle 52 boots, with two layers lining of the stitched leather. The lacing system consists of thirteen pairs of round eyelets (the modern Italian paratrooper's boots (Scarpe militari: "Anfibi" da para), for comparison, featured 14 pairs of eyelets). The out-sole tread patterns can be very different - from the out-soles with dotted tread pattern (imitation of nail-padding) to the standard tread pattern, as in the conventional army boots of France (Fig. 27-28).
The French parachute boots (Bottes de saut Mle 50) of model 1950, as well as the rare original US model M43 boots from old stock, have been issued to the paratroopers involved in the war in Indochina, as evidenced by the witnesses at the French thematic forums (Fig. 29-30).
