ESPN.com in the good ole days of late-March 2015 was a pleasant experience. Everything was pretty much "above the fold," and we could customize information to a sufficient degree. We had some featured image top stories as soon as we looked at the page, and also a bulleted list next to it for other developing news.
There were ads, but nothing too intrusive. Information was organized together in comprehensible blocks. Top stories at the top, sister-site Grantland articles to drive traffic there, and Videos in a nice block together. The worst part of the design was buried at the bottom, in a mishmash of additional "stuff." Random blocks of links and polls which didn't seem to be together in any intelligent, discernible arrangement. However, this was all at the bottom of the page, and if you're going to make a content mistake, make it there…I guess.
Instead of improving what was broken there at the bottom of the website, ESPN.com decided to just overhaul the whole thing. They "fixed" what wasn't broken, and didn't really address the issues with usability which were in the "old" design.
ESPN.com now thinks it knows what you want, and it's going to give you only that. Right away, you notice the massive Re-Skinning Advertising which takes up 25% of the above-the-fold real estate on the desktop view, and an interstitial ad pops-up when viewing on a tablet. On the tablet, after you dispose of the interstitial, you then have to deal with a drop-down ad, taking up the majority of your viewing area. Fun. Ads. Yay.
This isn't the largest redesign fail, however. It's the lack of immediate visuals. You only see a single featured image for a single featured story. If there is more than one major event going on at the same time, then you no longer get to see a carousel of photos. You see one. You get that one. You must have that one.
The new design is divided into three columns. The left-hand column of "Favorites," the main middle column which features an endless scroll, and the right-hand column of trending writer Tweets and current trending topics.
The left column, for your "favorites," allows you to see your selected teams scores and news. The right column is heavy on the writers and personalities of ESPN.com. You will see Tweets upon Tweets, and you cannot customize that section. You just deal with whatever ESPN.com has curated for you.
The main middle column is where the second most egregious design fail is (we'll get to the most in a minute). Besides the lack of options, you now have to keep scrolling through story after story to find what might jump out at you. After a few flicks or scrolls, everything starts looking the same. There are no sections, nothing to customize, and everything just seems to keep coming at you in a seemingly random mix of who knows what? It makes sense that ESPN.com would have this random, confusing approach, looking at how much they seem to love Twitter. After all, Twitter doesn't curate their Feeds. They just give you what's last been published. Unlike Facebook, which tries to fill your News Feed with things you have shown interest in in the past, the new ESPN.com throws everything at you, and dares you to find the end of the page as you scroll scroll scroll through a bunch of stories you mostly don't care about and will never read.
OK, so I railed against it enough, but there are some good things. The main improvement is the recent scores in the header. In the previous design, you just saw a bunch of abbreviated team names and scores. Now, however, ESPN.com put in team logos, and allows you to scroll through all the current scores instead of having to select a sport. You can still select a particular sport if you wish, but it's definitely a UI/UX improvement over the previous design.
The ESPN.com home page in this new design is all about Fail. The Favorites left-hand column is a nice improvement. We can see information about the teams we care about most. It would be better, however, to include some player information there, since ESPN.com allows you to select your favorite players as well as teams. Alas, this is not the case. It's an improvement, but doesn't go far enough. With the infinite scroll of the other two columns, I don't know why ESPN.com wouldn't allow you to see all the Favorites you have marked, but maybe they'll add that ability…but don't count on it.
The New Design is responsive, so I guess that is a good thing. However, with all this scrolling, it's going to get old pretty quick on your mobile device. The one good feature of the responsive design is that the first column to drop from view is the "Now" trending right-hand column which is pretty much superfluous. When viewed vertically on a tablet, this new re-design is a very clean read once you do find an article you like. There is nice breathing room on either side of the article, and (when viewed vertically on a tablet, remember) the look is clean…for that single article.
A feature that's been downgraded has been the overlay/drop-down for the main sports sections. In the previous design, ESPN.com gave you a featured story with a photo, as well as headlines, so you can see what's trending in that sport. You could also easily get to the main category-specific links such as "standings," "statistics," "schedule," etc.
However, in this new ESPN.com Re-Design Fail, you see no news. No trending topics for that sport. No photos of a featured article. Only the ability to see the category-specific links, and the ability to click on any team in that league. This re-design is for you to either get a bunch of random information (as displayed in the main middle column of the home page), or very specific information (as displayed by giving you scores on your favorite teams, or the ability to drill down to a specific team). If you're a fan of, say, NFL Football, you cannot see that information easily without having to click to that category's home page.
The worst ESPN.com fail is in the interior pages after you click an article. Here, you will be bombarded by ads, sponsored links, and ESPN.com's pay-to-view "Insider" teases and up-sells. The Outbrain sponsored headlines are really annoying, because that content is largely not about sports, and is stripped in after every two articles or so. Many of the Outbrain headlines are click-bait adjacent (if not straight-up click-bait), and really bring down the experience of reading these articles.
Speaking of the articles, this is where ESPN.com feels you'll be spending most of your time, because they are throwing articles at you left, right, and center (literally), and they want you to get into the articles themselves instead of just browser around.
That said, users these days prefer watching videos instead of reading. So, focusing on the reader makes sense for their sister-website Grantland, which features magazine style and length articles which are well-written. While I do not have the full analytics report on ESPN.com's user behaviors, I will use admitted conjecture and state that the majority of ESPN.com visitors will prefer watching video over reading articles. After all, ESPN was first, and still is, the most popular and go-to television sports channel. Favoring video over the written word seems like a logical through-line to me. The "readers" will head over to Grantland which has much better writers and deeper articles. ESPN.com has more generic news information which doesn't have to be read as thoughtfully. Just give us the sports news, ESPN. That's what made you who you are.
NOTE: Due to the screenshots being placed together, the screen shot here looks like there are repeated ads in the left-column, but there left-column (in the article view) follows the user down the page and does not feature all the ads shown in the pieced-together screenshot here. All other screenshots are 100% accurate.
So, knowing all this, and analyzing the new ESPN.com, I suggest viewing this website in a thinner browser window, or vertically on a tablet, so that useless and boring right-hand content goes away, and you have less visual distractions on the page as you view it.
Doing this will also cause the left-hand column in the interior article pages to drop off from view as well, and allow a much cleaner read of the article itself. This new ESPN.com re-design was clearly created with the tablet viewer in mind. The experience on a vertically-held tablet is a vast improvement over the previous design…but at what cost? The rest of the website is a complete fail. What good is making the article reads better if the process of getting to those articles is confusing and frustrating?
So, to wrap it up, while there are some definite improvements in the new ESPN.com re-design, it is largely a "fail," because it seems like ESPN.com's UI/UX team had only a single use case in mind (the tablet viewer who likes to read many articles), instead of a more general user base which might have a wider range of viewing preferences.

Dutch Tourist Arrested For Making Nazi Salute At Auschwitz While Posing For Photo
A Dutch tourist was arrested Sunday at the site of the Auschwitz death camp for making a Nazi salute while posing for a photo, police said.
The 29-year-old woman from the Netherlands made the gesture in front of the gate that says "Work Sets You Free" as her 30-year-old husband took a photo. Authorities did not release the woman's name.
Police told the Polish News Agency the security on the site of the now memorial and museum saw the salute and contacted police. Police detained the woman, and her husband was taken in for questioning.
The woman pleaded guilty and was charged an undisclosed fine. The Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum and Memorial confirmed the incident on Twitter.
"The Memorial Security detained a 29 y/o Dutch woman today while making the Nazi salute at the gate of the former Auschwitz I camp. Police were called," the tweet said. "The woman accepted the fine imposed by the prosecutor. She explained her behavior as a 'stupid joke.'"
Throughout Europe, making a Nazi salute, as well as supporting the fascist group vocally or in written form, is illegal and can result in prison time. In Poland, where Auschwitz is located, promoting Nazi propaganda can result in up to two years in prison.
In 2013, the Polish outlet reported two students from Turkey made the gesture at the same gate, which resulted in them being sentenced to six months in prison, along with a fine and suspension. On Jan. 13, police detained three men for vandalizing a wall of a Jewish cemetery with a Nazi symbol.
The gate where the woman took the photo was known as the "Gate of Death." The camp, established in 1940, was the largest concentration camp of Nazi Germany during the Holocaust. At least 1.1 million men, women, and children died at the camp, most of whom were Jewish, by gas chambers and slave labor.

The Bonnie Blue Flag was the first, unofficial, flag of the Confederate States of America as it flew over the batteries firing on Fort Sumter to begin the Civil War. It also flew over the capitol in Mississippi in January of 1861 when that state voted to leave the Union.
The design for the flag was used in 1810 by the Republic of West Florida when they rebelled against the Spanish before the area was annexed by the United States with the Louisiana Purchase. It was used again in 1836 by the Republic of Texas during their rebellion, though with a golden star.
The Bonnie Blue can typically be seen flying all over the Southern states, as well as historic spots such as the Jefferson Davis Monument in Kentucky where the CSA President was born.

Die Statuette einer Frau im Archäologischen Nationalmuseum Athen (NAMA) mit der Inventarnummer 4 ist eine archaische Statuette einer jungen Frau, die ins späte 7. Jahrhundert v. Chr. datiert wird.

Der Kopf der Statuette war abgebrochen. Er ist weniger gut als der Rest der Statuette erhalten. Die Nase fehlt, das Kinn ist stark bestoßen, auch der Mund ist durch Bestoßungen verformt. Teile der Frisur fehlen, das Gesicht weist starke Beschädigungen auf, auch die Augen sind bestoßen. Das Haar ist über der Stirn in einer Frisur mit mittelgroßen Locken gearbeitet. Die Haare werden in mehreren etwas mehr als schulterlangen, dicken Zöpfen über die Schulter auf die Vorderseite des Körpers geführt. In den Augen sind zwei Löcher, hier waren Einlegearbeiten eingearbeitet. Die Frau wird steif stehend gezeigt, wie es für diese Zeit üblich war. Ebenso trägt sie den üblichen Peplos, der mit einem schmalen Gürtel über der Hüfte zusammengehalten wird. Obwohl der gesamte Körper bedeckt ist, liegt das Gewand so eng an, dass alle Konturen darunter bis in Hüfthöhe erkennbar sind. Die Arme hängen an der Seite herab.

Mit zwei weiteren derartigen Statuetten bildete dieses Werk den Untersatz eines Perirrhanterions, eines Weihwasserbeckens. Die Statuette einer Frau (NAMA 3443) gehörte als eine der beiden anderen Statuetten ebenfalls zu diesem Perirrhanterion. Der Kopf der Statue wurde zunächst unter der Inventarnummer 16 im Museum von Theben aufbewahrt, bis er mit dem Körper in Athen wieder zusammengeführt wurde. Gefunden wurden alle Stücke 1886 im Heiligtum des Apollon am Berg Ptoion in Böotien. Die Statuette aus Pentelischem Marmor ist 42 Zentimeter hoch. Es handelt sich um eine böotische Arbeit, die von Vorbildern aus dem Nahen Osten, wohl Syrien oder Zypern, beeinflusst ist.

I was recently in Montreal for a family reunion and managed to squeeze in a bit of my own sightseeing (read: shopping and flea-ing) I stayed with my family in Old Montreal, which is a beautiful, historical area right on the St. Lawrence river. We had brunch at Olive & Gourmano (the coffee here is amazing) and across the street I popped into a beautiful little shop Espace Pepin.
Monastiraki for art prints, small press and zines from local talent.
If you have the time to walk around, there is so much great street art to see in Montreal. I found one mural that was especially beautiful below.

Musing on the mysteries of the case, Watson dismisses the supernatural explanation but admits that his common sense offers no obvious solution. Where might a living and breathing hound hide by day, and who is the mysterious shadow out on the moor? Watson determines to find out what this man might know and whether he is the same person who provided the warning back in London.
Meanwhile, Sir Henry argues with Barrymore over the chase of his brother-in-law, Selden. Watson and Henry worry that the man is a public danger. Nonetheless, Barrymore assures them that Selden is just biding his time until a ship arrives for South America, and that he will not commit any more crimes. Barrymore's betters agree not to tell the police, and Barrymore thanks them by offering another clue. Apparently, Sir Charles went to the gate on the night he died to meet a woman, and Barrymore tells of his wife's discovery of a charred letter, signed L.L., requesting the late-night meeting.
The next day, Watson learns from Mortimer that Laura Lyons, daughter of "Frankland the crank," lives nearby in Coombe Tracey. Mortimer goes on to explain that Laura married an artist against her father's will and that both husband and father have since abandoned her. In the meantime, both Stapleton and Sir Charles have come to her aid by offering her alms.
As for the silhouette on the moor, Watson learns from Barrymore that Selden has seen him, too. He appears to be a gentleman, and he lives in one of the Neolithic huts along the moor, getting his food from a young boy.
Chapter XI: The Man on the Tor
Deciding that an informal visit might be the most productive, Watson leaves Sir Henry at home and heads for Coombe Tracey. At Laura Lyon's apartment, Watson meets the beautiful brunette and announces his interest in the matter of Sir Charles' death. Suspicious but finally cooperative, Laura admits that Sir Charles supported her financially, and that she wrote to him once or twice. But when Watson presses the issue, she claims to have had very little to do with him personally, and that it was Stapleton who told him of her situation.
Watson goes on to mention the burned letter, and Laura finally admits to having written it. The lateness of the hour and the strangeness of the location, she claims, resulted from her just having heard of Charles' imminent departure and her fear that a late-night meeting might look bad. When Watson asks what happened that night, Laura claims to have missed the appointment, but she refuses to say why. All she will disclose is the letter's content: an appeal for alms from Sir Charles to get her out of a bad marriage. Laura also adds that in the interim, she has gotten help from someone else.

Hawaii's Longline Fishermen Pushing To Catch More Tuna - Honolulu Civil Beat

Hawaii's Longline Fishermen Pushing To Catch More Tuna
Some have their sights set on doubling or even tripling their annual catch limits through new deals with Pacific Island territories.
By Nathan Eagle / October 17, 2016
Hawaii's longline fishermen will be able to go after similar amounts of bigeye tuna next year under a policy passed last week by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council.
But some have their sights set on doubling or even tripling their annual catch limits through new quota-sharing agreements with Pacific Island territories that don't currently fish commercially for ahi.
Before that can happen though, the fishermen will need to demonstrate that the species is no longer subject to overfishing and convince federal officials that the pending arrangements with Guam, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands do not violate international agreements to conserve fish stocks.
"We are right at the level of overfishing," said Jarad Makaiau, a scientist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "We are right on the razor thin line."
Federal fishery managers are considering increasing the amount of tuna that Hawaii longliners can catch. Cory Lum/Civil Beat
Wespac manages 1.5 million square miles of ocean in the Central and Western Pacific Ocean and advises the National Marine Fisheries Service on catch limits, endangered species mitigation and stock assessments.

Overfishing? Hawaii Longliners Want Even More Tuna
What Quota? Hawaii Longliners Are Fishing For Ahi Again
Scientists advising Wespac say the U.S. can increase its fishing effort without impeding international efforts to eliminate overfishing, pointing at countries like South Korea and Japan that have quota limits four or five times higher.
The Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission, a 26-member international body that sets the tuna quota limits, has determined that overfishing has been occurring in the region since at least 2004.
Hawaii longline industry leaders are hopeful they may be able to pursue more aggressive fishing efforts after a new tuna stock assessment comes out next year. Scientists presented 2016 bigeye stock projections that showed no further decline.
They're also exploring new ways of breaking up the catch data to show where the U.S. longline fleet's impact is compared to the U.S. purse seine fleet and that of other countries.
Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council staff member Eric Kingma presented quota-sharing options for the council to consider at its meeting Thursday. Nathan Eagle/Civil Beat
The U.S. longline fleet, comprised of roughly 140 vessels predominantly ported in Honolulu, targets adult bigeye tuna for sashimi markets and restaurants. The U.S. purse seine fleet, which is mostly based in American Samoa, goes after skipjack and yellowfin tuna for canning markets, but pulls in thousands of tons of juvenile bigeye tuna as bycatch.
The council heard recommendations from the three Pacific Island territories and their scientists on what quota limits to recommend for 2017.
The current limit for the U.S. is 3,554 tons. The longliners hit that in July, but are out fishing again under a $250,000 deal to use 1,000 tons of the Marianas' 2,000-ton limit. Similar arrangements have been made with the other two territories should the U.S. fleet burn through the extra 1,000 tons before year's end.
The U.S., along with China, Japan, South Korea and others, agreed to reduce their quotas again next year. The U.S. limit will be 3,345 tons in 2017, minus roughly 200 tons that the longliners exceeded this year's limit by, according to Wespac members.

The recommendation approved by Wespac last week will continue the status quo of being able to use an extra 1,000 tons per territory.
Looking farther ahead, council members discussed options to use all 2,000 tons of each territory's quota or upping the territories' limits and then taking even more. This could triple the amount of tuna the U.S. had agreed to catch.
How Many Tons Per Territory?
The territories each have their own ideas of what they want to do.
The American Samoa advisory panel members, who met last month, discussed the 2017 bigeye quota specification and the unanimous consensus was that the territory's quota should be increased to 3,000 tons and the transferable amount should be upped to 2,000 tons in an effort to provide more funding for the territory's fisheries development capability.

The money in the quota-sharing agreements, which has steadily increased over the past few years to $250,000 this year, is deposited into the Western Pacific Sustainable Fisheries Fund, which the territories use for fishery development projects approved by their respective governors, according to Wespac spokeswoman Sylvia Spalding. This includes boat ramps, fish markets, processing facilities, training programs and loan programs.
The Northern Marianas advisory panel recommended Wespac explore the impacts of increasing its quota to 3,000 tons, with all of it potentially transferable to the U.S.
Guam's advisory panel was content with the status quo. Its members were concerned about finding a way to get the U.S. government to expedite approval of the quota-sharing agreements.
"If that's the intended direction, beware and be cautious." — Fred Tucher, NOAA general counsel, referring to consideration of expanding the territories' quota limits
Nathan Abe, who serves on the Hawaiian archipelago advisory panel to Wespac, said during a meeting last month that he understands the rationale and science behind the quota transfer but said that it looks bad to the public, according to the meeting's minutes. His solution was that the council should be increasing the Hawaii-based longline quota instead.
Prior to Wespac members' vote to keep the status quo for now, Fred Tucher, section chief of the NOAA's Office of General Counsel, said that as important as developing the fishing industry in the territories might be, it's not as important under federal law as protecting fish stocks.
"If that's the intended direction, beware and be cautious," Tucher said, referring to consideration of expanding the territories' quota limits to 3,000 tons with the option to transfer all of it away.
He said there are also serious considerations when it comes to the environmental impacts of doing so, which could trigger the need for an environmental impact statement.

He said that even if it's the purse seiners who are killing more bigeye tuna than the longliners, the cumulative effect must be considered.
Wespac Executive Director Kitty Simonds said the Hawaii longline industry has been "disadvantaged" for years and is not getting the help it needs from federal officials.
Michael Tosatto, regional administrator for the National Marine Fisheries Service, acknowledged the catch limits have been "unbalanced" and that officials are working to improve the situation.

Kernaghan began the transition into management at Clyde where he did quite well having taken on the player/manager role. Had roles at Falkirk, Dundee, Rangers and Brentford before taking over at Glentoran in November 2015 but lasted less than a year.
After a playing career blighted by his battles with alcohol, McGrath's prospects of a lucrative line in punditry afterwards suffered similarly when a contract with the BBC for the 2002 World Cup was cancelled just before the tournament. Despite being revered by fans here and at the clubs he played for, he has been hampered by his shyness too. Does some media and corporate work from his home in Wexford.
After a spectacular falling out with Alex Ferguson, he had a spell at Celtic before moving into management. Spells at Sunderland and Ipswich followed but after initial success at the former, he struggled to meet his own standards. Is now assistant to Martin O'Neill in the international set-up.
ANDY TOWNSEND
Declined opportunities to go into coaching towards the end of his playing career, preferring to concentrate on media work. Was prominent with ITV before it lost most of its football content. Has worked with BBC Radio too, but is primarily involved with BT Sport these days.
RAY HOUGHTON
Enhanced his already firmly established hero status among Irish fans with his goal against Italy in the World Cup finals the following summer. That and his time at Liverpool and Aston Villa made him very marketable as a media pundit when he hung up his boots. He has done exceptionally well on the circuit, presenting his own radio programme in Britain while working very prominently on television on both sides of the Irish Sea.
JOHN ALDRIDGE
Played on for a few years at Tranmere where he subsequently managed. Has since moved into media work, primarily in print here, and print and broadcast in Britain. A regular on Liverpool's LFC TV. Known for his sometimes feisty presence on social media and still playing a bit on the "masters" circuit.
EDDIE McGOLDRICK
Left Arsenal for Manchester City where he struggled to establish himself. Retired after three years but played on in non-league and veterans' football. Had a spell in the property business, moved to Australia, then came back. Now works for the academy at Crystal Palace.
Had another couple of years at Manchester City before moving to Sunderland where he would eventually end up running things, hiring in Roy Keane as manager. Now heading up a couple of e-commerce ventures and, after a long stint with Sky, back working in television punditry with Virgin Media.
ALAN McLOUGHLIN (for Houghton, 70 mins)
The Republic's scorer that night had spells at Wigan and Rochdale before retiring in 2003. Landed a job back at Portsmouth in coaching and was assistant manager for a while. Left in 2014 and returned to the club where he made his first team breakthrough, Swindon Town, where he heads up the academy and manages the under-18s.
TONY CASCARINO (for Aldridge, 81 mins)
His colourful character helped the big striker to establish himself as one of the best known of the many media pundits to emerge from the team. Cascarino continues to work in print and broadcasting, as well as for the betting industry. Recently underwent surgery to remove a benign brain tumour but is back working.

your elders and magistrates shall go out and measure the distances from the corpse to the nearby towns.
and the elders of that town shall bring the heifer down to an everflowing wadi, which is not tilled or sown. There, in the wadi, they shall break the heifer's neck.
The priests, sons of Levi, shall come forward; for the LORD your God has chosen them to minister to Him and to pronounce blessing in the name of the LORD, and every lawsuit and case of assault is subject to their ruling.
Then all the elders of the town nearest to the corpse shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the wadi.
and discard her captive's garb. She shall spend a month's time in your house lamenting her father and mother; after that you may come to her and possess her, and she shall be your wife.
Then, should you no longer want her, you must release her outright. You must not sell her for money: since you had your will of her, you must not enslave her.
when he wills his property to his sons, he may not treat as first-born the son of the loved one in disregard of the son of the unloved one who is older.
Instead, he must accept the first-born, the son of the unloved one, and allot to him a double portion of all he possesses; since he is the first fruit of his vigor, the birthright is his due.
his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his town at the public place of his community.
Thereupon the men of his town shall stone him to death. Thus you will sweep out evil from your midst: all Israel will hear and be afraid.
you must not let his corpse remain on the stake overnight, but must bury him the same day. For an impaled body is an affront to God: you shall not defile the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.


The biggest transfer of the summer is now official.After a few weeks of deliberation, Cristiano Ronaldo will be moving to Juventus for a fee of around £105m. The former Real Madrid man will sign a four-year contract in Turin and will command the highest salary ever seen in Italian football – by some distance.
His transfer signals the end of an era in Spanish football, Ronaldo's rivalry with Lionel Messi officially brought to an end after nine years of brilliance. The only solace is that they can still meet again in the Champions League. Ronaldo leaves Real Madrid with the most ridiculous of records, scoring 451 goals in 438 games for Los Blancos.
He's also won the Champions League on four separate occasions with the club. And due to his impact in Madrid, Sergio Ramos felt the need to post a touching message to his former teammate pretty much as soon as the news was announced.
The message reads: "@Cristiano, your goals, your numbers and everything we've earned together speak for themselves.
While Ronaldo hasn't always been popular win fans in Madrid, he leaves as their greatest ever player. The size of the task for Julen Lopetegui now is massive. Los Blancos will surely make some huge signings of their own to compensate for his departure, with Neymar and Eden Hazard the two most heavily linked.
However, neither of those two boast a scoring record anywhere near Ronaldo's and it will be interesting to see how the new boss deals with that. A new era has begun not only for Real Madrid, but for all of Spanish football.

Wednesday briefing: PM's Christmas party crisis intensifies
Warren Murray
8 December 2021, 1:31 am ·11-min read
Top story: 'This is recorded …'
Hello, Warren Murray offering you a little help to get up to speed.
Boris Johnson is facing accusations of lying after senior No 10 officials were filmed joking about a lockdown Christmas party that Downing Street insists did not take place. The footage, obtained by ITV, was shot on 22 December 2020. The Friday before was 18 December, the date on which multiple sources have said there was a staff party inside Downing Street, which would have contravened strict Covid regulations in place at the time. In the leaked video of a mock televised press briefing, Johnson adviser Ed Oldfield is seen joking with Allegra Stratton, the prime minister's then press secretary, about "a Downing Street Christmas party on Friday night". Amid the back and forth, Stratton says laughingly: "This is recorded … This fictional party was a business meeting and it was not socially distanced." Stratton, who has since become the spokesperson for Cop26, and Oldfield, who remains at Downing Street, have been contacted for comment.
Johnson and his aides have repeatedly denied that the event, reportedly held for staff at No 10 in December last year, broke Covid rules or took place at all. Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, said Johnson had not been truthful: "To lie and to laugh about those lies is shameful. The prime minister now needs to come clean and apologise."
Becky Kummer, spokesperson for Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice said: "There are simply no words to describe how upsetting and shameful it is then to hear Boris Johnson's team laughing about breaking the rules they had made, whilst others followed them and could only say goodbye to their loved ones through a screen. It's the behaviour of people who think they're above us." Separately, the Department for Education confirmed a report that some staff and the then education secretary Gavin Williamson held an office party on 10 December 2020. A DfE spokesperson said it was "a gathering" of officials already present "to thank those staff for their efforts during the pandemic … While this was work-related, looking back we accept it would have been better not to have gathered in this way at that particular time."
'Stealth Omicron' – Scientists say they have identified a "stealth" version of Omicron that cannot be distinguished from other variants using the PCR tests that public health officials use around the world. It means we now have the standard Omicron, known as BA.1, and this "stealth" variant, known as BA.2. The first can be identified because of a so-called S-gene deletion – but the second does not have that, so while it can still be detected as Covid, it cannot be singled out as Omicron. Separately the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is considering legal action against Immensa, a private health company whose laboratory an NHS investigation in October found gave at least 43,000 people potentially false negative Covid-19 test results. Immensa and its sister company Dante Labs were contacted for comment. And the NHS is to hire an extra 52,000 vaccinators and volunteers to "ramp up" its booster drive, one year after the national vaccination programme became the first in the world to administer a Covid-19 jab.
Ashes to ashes – The Ashes series got off to the worst possible start for England when their opening batsman, Rory Burns, was bowled on the first ball of the first Test – just the second time in Ashes history a wicket had fallen on the opening delivery. Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc got Burns around his legs in Brisbane overnight to spark joyous scenes around the famous Gabba ground. It didn't get much better for the tourists as the big wickets of Joe Root and Ben Stokes followed soon after and, despite some brief resistance from Haseeb Hameed, Ollie Pope and Jos Buttler they were bowled out for 147, with new Australian captain Pat Cummins leading the way with five wickets. Rain stopped play before Australia's batters were able to take to the field, but you can follow any further developments with our liveblog.

Deadlock remains over Ukraine – Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin have held their virtual summit but made little apparent headway about the crisis over Ukraine. The Kremlin said Putin accused Nato of "dangerous attempts to develop Ukrainian territory and increase its potential along our borders". He demanded guarantees that Nato would not expand its territory toward Russia or place missile systems in bordering countries. The US says it is Ukraine's right to decide its own security arrangements, but officials said Biden offered broader strategic talks between the Nato allies and Russia if the threat of Russian invasion receded. Biden spoke afterwards to the leaders of the UK, Germany, France and Italy by conference call. The Putin administration wants Kyiv to abide by the 2015 Minsk agreement, which stipulates that Ukraine reform its constitution and open direct talks with Russian-backed separatists, both of which are extremely unpopular demands in Kyiv.
Olaf Scholz of the party – A new German chancellor is to be sworn in by the Bundestag today, opening a new chapter as the Merkel era comes to an end. Olaf Scholz, the outgoing deputy chancellor and finance minister, will lead a government composed of his Social Democrat party, the business-friendly Free Democrats and the Greens, a coalition of parties never tried before at the federal level in Germany.

The alliance brings to a close 16 years of rule by Angela Merkel, who chose not to run again. During her turbulent time in office, spanning eurozone crises, more than a million refugee arrivals and Brexit, there have been four French presidents, five British prime ministers and eight Italian premiers. The new chancellor, an architect of the EU's coronavirus recovery fund, said his first trip outside Germany would be to Paris and Brussels, as he seeks to ensure that "Europe is secure and sovereign".
Ruined the place – The wreckage of a 1970s shopping centre will form the centrepiece of a £500m Nottingham development that will include a park and leisure space. The Frame is a reimagined wreck of the former Broadmarsh shopping mall, which is envisioned swathed in greenery, and hosting markets, leisure facilities such as a climbing wall and vast trampoline or events space for boxing or music.
It is the design of Thomas Heatherwick, creator of the 2012 Olympic cauldron, the new Routemaster bus, and the Coal Drops Yard shopping redevelopment in London's King's Cross. About half of the Broadmarsh centre was demolished in a redevelopment before its owner went bust. The lease was taken on by Nottingham city council. Moribund shopping centres around the country might be similarly redeveloped as online shopping and out-of-town retail parks take their place.

Liverpool came from behind to storm into the knockout stages of the Champions League and dump Milan out of all European competition with a 2-1 win at the San Siro. A half-interested Manchester City lost their dead rubber with RB Leipzig 2-1 as Kyle Walker managed to get sent off and will now be suspended for the last 16. Atlético Madrid progressed as they won 3-1 at Porto in a tense and ill-tempered game in which both sides had men sent off. Magnus Carlsen has all but retained his world chess title after defeating Russia's Ian Nepomniachtchi for the third time in four games in the ninth encounter of their showdown in Dubai. Three weighing-room valets who gave evidence last week to the disciplinary hearing in which Robbie Dunne is accused of bullying and harassing his fellow rider Bryony Frost refused to work for Frost when she took two rides at Fontwell Park on Tuesday.
Tracey Crouch is braced for the Premier League to "push back very, very hard" against her recommendation that English football should be subject to independent regulation. The Champions Cup has been rocked by the coronavirus pandemic before the opening round of fixtures this weekend with Scarlets forfeiting their match and Cardiff preparing to field a "misfit" team including semi-professionals. Ryder Cup-winning golfer Thorbjørn Olesen has said he was "embarrassed and felt horrible" after being accused of drunkenly groping a woman on a flight. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has said that it respects the United States' decision to diplomatically boycott the forthcoming Beijing Winter Olympics. And Tennis Australia has hit back at suggestions it is seeking to exploit a "loophole" in border entry rules so unvaccinated players can compete in the upcoming Australian Open, amid speculation about Novak Djokovic's ability to enter the country.
The "race for space" that characterised the booming property market during the pandemic could be starting to slow, according to Halifax, with the focus moving from bigger houses in the country to city flats. Property also remains a big story in China where Kaisa looks like the latest developer to fall foul of the government's crackdown on reckless borrowing. Its shares were suspended in Hong Kong today after failing to stump up $400m in bond repayments and looks like following Evergrande into default. FTSE100 futures are up 0.4% and the pound is on $1.325 and €1.173.
Imagine being Allegra Stratton today, finding yourself on the front page above the headline "A sick joke", as the Daily Mail puts it. The Metro says "No. 10 party clowns". Our Guardian headline is less blunt, more explanatory: "PM accused of lying after No 10 team filmed joking about party". The second story on the Guardian's front page is "Letter links Johnson to airlift of animals". The letter suggests Boris Johnson and the Foreign Office may have covered up the prime minister's involvement in airlifting more than 150 dogs and cats from Afghanistan, a senior MP has said. It comes after a Foreign Office whistleblower's evidence triggered claims that animals were prioritised over people. Boris Johnson has called such claims as "complete nonsense".
The Mirror is most concerned with the Gavin Williamson gathering – "Another top Tory broke Covid part rules", it says – Stratton also appears, as she does as well on the front of the Express in a puff box pointing to the story inside. The splash in the Express, though, is "We need a shot in the arm now!" encouraging everyone to get their boosters.
The Times leads with "Cabinet rift over plan for vaccine passports" while the Telegraph's top story is "Plan for Christmas work from home order". The i has "2021: it's beginning to look a lot like last Christmas" as work from home comes back into the realm of Omicron possibilities. And prime position in the Financial Times goes to "US urges Berlin to block Russian gas line in event of Ukraine strike".

Shipments of more than 500,000 tonnes of non-basmati rice that need to be transported to ports on India's east coast from the central state of Chhattisgarh have been stuck due to the shortage of freight trains, dealers said.

"Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts, absolutely."
This is a common quote, that people suggest is profound.
But if Love is the only power, and love in un-corruptible - how could we say this?
The "power corrupts" quote is not true - or is it?
Marianne Williamson wrote "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. (popularized by a speech by Nelson Mandela).
How could we possibly be afraid of our power?
Especially if the only true power is love?
These are all words. And the words express the power on Earth.
"And God said: in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God."
So if God is everything, and God is all power, And God is Love - there is really nothing that can be corrupted.
And there is nothing to fear!
And, again, the only power.
So what might need to be "corrupted" is the story, idea, that love corrupts.
In my life Eye have sought the love that Eye can share. Eye have only found it IN me. Eye now call it the alter of my heart.
Eye would suggest that everyone dedicate themselves to seek, and Share, their power which is love.
You will find it riding on your breath.
That is how Source, Infinite Love, GODDESS delivers our love, our life, our words to US [Universal Sweetness].
Right IN OUR FACE - 25,000 times a day.
Tear down (corrupt) the stories that have held you away from your true power. Go pall mall, headlong through the "fear" that has kept you away from YOUR POWER.
Let go of your doubts, and judgments and Share what you discover.
- It is all yours and it is what the COSMOS is waiting for you to Share back.

Tracey Road Equipment Holds Paving Seminar in Syracuse
Wed April 21, 2004 - Northeast Edition
On March 25, 2004, Tracey Road Equipment held a paving seminar at its facility in Syracuse, NY.
Larry Spring and John Herman, both of Ingersoll-Rand, shared with attendees their wealth of paving experience and answered topical questions. The event, which was designed to be both friendly and non-sales oriented, provided local contractors and municipalities with the opportunity to learn about subjects such as how to attain desired paving density; screed heating; and the latest techniques in paving productivity, density and smoothness.
Tracey Road Equipment also provided a show and demonstration area where attendees could check out or test drive a variety of pavers and paving related equipment, which the company carries, such as Blaw-Knox, Ingersoll-Rand, Broce, Etnyre, Freightliner trucks, Western Star trucks, Interstate trailers, Kawasaki, Kobelco, Marini, New Holland, Red River, and more.
Some of the contractors and municipalities in attendance included Barrett Paving, City of Syracuse DPW, Oswego County DPW, Hanson, Onondaga County DPW, NYS Thruway Authority, Ruston Paving, Suit-Kote, Seneca County DPW, Town of Clay Highway Dept and Lanco.
Tracey Road Equipment, founded in 1976, is family owned and still operated on a day-to-day basis by its founder, Jerry Tracey. Tracey Road Equipment carries an extensive line of trucks and truck equipment, and paving, municipal and excavating equipment. The company has locations in Syracuse, Binghamton, Watertown and Albany.

It is too hot for cooking, but the family's gotta eat, so cook I must.
So I have employed the slow cooker; it makes for tasty and tender meals and doesn't heat up the kitchen. Here is my interpretation of Moroccan Chicken; it was a big success with everyone in the house (the spiciness is pretty mild, just enough to keep things interesting) and took almost no effort on my part!
Lay onion, carrots and scallions on the bottom of a large slow cooker. Season chicken pieces thoroughly and add to pot. Whisk together cumin, oregano, harissa, tomato puree, wine, and garlic and pour over chicken. Add thyme and chick peas. Cover slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours, then finish on low for another hour or two. Serve with couscous or rice. May be frozen, but remove bones before freezing.
Yet another easy summer hack, this time one that will let your kid practice measuring and keep him or her busy for a hot minute.
This one is cinnamon sugar. All you need is one tablespoon of ground cinnamon and three tablespoons of granulated sugar (use white; brown is too crumbly-sticky) Mix thoroughly in a clean container with a lid.
The sugar can be sprinkled on buttered toast, muffins, French toast or pancakes, or apple slices that need a bit of help. It'll keep in the pantry and that's that!
Here's what I've been doing while I have been away from you: organizing a speaker series on global food issues as co-chair of the International Education Committee's Spring Speaker Series subcommittee at Nassau Community College. Which is to say, I have been super-busy and having loads of fun (but getting a bit anxious too).
The series is in full swing now, so here is the schedule (I'm afraid you missed the first day, but there are two more days of events). Featured speakers are my dear friend, Zarela Martinez, whose eponymous restaurant, PBS shows and excellent cookbooks have made her a James Beard Who's Who honoree, and sustainable food activist and social entrepreneur Ellen Gustafson, who pioneered fashion to benefit the hungry with FEED bags, an idea she made successful with Lauren Bush. Ellen is a veteran TED lecturer…I am so excited!!!
Can the Sweet Potato Save the World?
One million hectares of land worldwide are planted with potato varieties developed by or obtained through the International Potato Center whose mission is to work with partners to achieve food security, well-being, and gender equity for poor people in root and tuber farming and food systems in the developing world. Joel Ranck, head of the Communications and Public Affairs Department at the Peru-based International Potato Center will Skype in to the college to explain the role of his not-for-profit agency in defeating poverty and world hunger and answer questions on how scientific and genetic research can further these goals.
Professor Carolyn Monastra will be using photographs and stories from her project The WItness Tree in a discussion about the effects of climate change on global food production. The negative impacts of extreme storms, sea level rise, drought, water rights, and global land grabs will be discussed along with positive solutions like permaculture, WOOFING, CSAs, and food-coops.
Zarela Martinez Talks Mexican Food and Culture: The James Beard Foundation Who's Who of Food & Beverage honoree, PBS food personality, cookbook author, historian and restaurateur who pioneered real Mexican cuisine in New York discusses her career, her journeys and her varied national cuisine.
Zarela Martinez returns to discuss Latino-Americans: Re-branding Ourselves in the New U.S. Landscape, covering career and business outlooks for Latino entrepreneurs and those who want to understand the growing Latino market.
NCC students present their exploration and research into the many ways different cultures and religions find spiritual nourishment through food.
Ellen Gustafson is a sustainable food system activist, author, innovator and social entrepreneur. Her first book, "We the Eaters: If We Change Dinner, We Can Change the World" was published by Rodale Press in May 2014. She is the Co-Founder of Food Tank: the Food Think Tank, with Danielle Nierenberg. She is also founder of a small sustainable home goods company called the Apron Project. Before the launch of Food Tank, Ellen founded the 30 Project, a campaign that has helped to change the conversation about the global food system by connecting hunger and obesity. She is also the creator of the ChangeDinner campaign and HealthClass2.0, which are helping individuals change the food system at dinner tables and in schools.
The top problems for humanity for the next 50 years will be energy, water and food. Professor Birgit Woelker says agriculture and the way we produce food provides hope for a clean and sustainable future.
Ellen Gustafson, veteran of three TED lectures and founder, with Lauren Bush, of the FEED bag project, returns in the afternoon for a second lecture, this time on Social Entrepreneurship.
It's been a busy Spring at our house and although I have been rather out of touch, there HAVE been delicious things going on in my little kitchen. This was our soup for our Easter meal and since it is lovely and simple and seasonal, I knew I would eventually get to sharing it with you! It is almost like a bisque, because the texture is that creamy, but there is no cream or milk!
This was a delightful starter for our Spring meal!
In a soup pot heat the oil and butter at medium high. When the foaming subsides, add leeks, stir to coat and lower heat to medium. Cook the leeks, stirring occasionally, until very soft, adding the thyme after about 5 minutes.
Add the peas (setting aside that extra ¼ Cup) stock and nutmeg, Bring to a steady simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the peas are very soft.
Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. Add the remaining peas, salt and pepper and serve with croutons, if desired, or a dollop of plain yogurt.
We recently had a wonderful weekend out in the wine country – Long Island's North Fork is one of our favorite places to go…farmland, vineyards, the bay and the sound on either side and dear friends we've made over the years.
I had a baby shower to go to, so after a bit of lunch at Love Lane Kitchen with our friend Ashley and a little wine-tasting (me) and Scrabble (them Exhibits A and B) across the street at the Roanoake Tasting Room, I took Leandro to our friends Vinny and Carolyn's to hang out while I met Ashley back at the joyous shower at Paumanok Vineyards.
The bacon theme seems to have started at dinner for them, as they ordered him bacon mac and cheese at the Blue Canoe.
And then the next morning it was bacon again, but this time Vinny upped the flavor profile, introducing us to his decadent Brown Sugar Bacon, which he says is a simplified adaptation of something he had elsewhere.
It is barely a recipe, more of a seasoning, but the results are salty-sweet, crispy and juicy and I will be doing it here at home this weekend.
I am hooked. Mind you, with hospitality like that, it's a wonder Vinny and Carolyn ever get rid of us!
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the desired number of strips of bacon flat on the paper. Sprinkle generously with sugar. Place in the oven and cook for about 10 minutes or until you start to smell that bacony smell. Turn and cook another ten minutes or until you reach the desired crispness. Serve with whatever breakfast food you like!
Today was yet another snow day in a winter that has been the coldest in decades and during which we've been snowed on an awful lot. Most of us are well sick of the disruption and the winter coats and gloves and hats and the shoveling and the slush.
The bakers did very well!
But there are small pleasures with unexpected days off…like sleeping in and — if your seven-year-old shuts up long enough to allow you to complete a thought or a blog post or pay a bill or anything for the love of God — finishing little tasks you wouldn't have time for otherwise. And then there's baking, because the best defense against the bad weather blues is a house that smells like sweet, warm, doughy things.
The muffins were not all exactly the same size, but that's part of the charm of home-made!
So I decided to try a simpler version of our Banana Walnut Maple muffins with my little man and his friend from across the street after they'd been playing in the snow for a couple of hours (remember when you considered that kind of thing fun?) and I had actually completed one report.
It was a great success, both the making and the fragrant baking and the tasting, plus being able to send the neighbor home with muffins for her family and having muffins for the guy on the corner who cleared the driveway with his snow blower and for the sweet couple in their 90s across the street. Mini-muffins go so much farther than standard size muffins!
And we still have plenty left over for lunchboxes!
Preheat the oven to 375˚F and grease or line with cups 2 standard muffin tins (12 muffins) or 4 mini-muffin tins (48 muffins) plus be ready to do an additional six standard muffins. This makes a lot.
In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda and salt. In another, mash the bananas, then add the sugar and mix well with a fork. Add the melted butter, egg, vanilla and beat well. Fold in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the nuts and maple syrup gently with a rubber spatula. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins to fill about halfway.
Bake 12 minutes for mini-muffins and 20 for standard muffins. Allow to cool for a minute before planning them on a rack to cool further or just serve warm. These store well in an airtight container for about three days and also freeze well. I take them out of the freezer and pop them into my son's lunchbox frozen and they are good to go by snack time.
Here on Long Island we are having one of the coldest winters on record. Since you can't reasonably spend the entire winter drinking hot toddies all day — as much as the idea appeals –, the second best, more sensible and certainly more sustainable response is soup.
Here is an easy-peasy soup recipe that is warming and light, inspired by my dear friend Deborah Rivera Pittorino's matchless soups at her restaurant La Cuvee Seafood & Grille in the heart of Long Island's North Fork wine country. She shares some her recipes on her blog, The Seasoned Fork, by the way.
This recipe adds a little nuttiness (nutty flavor, not crazy person nuttiness) by dry roasting the cauliflower for 10 minutes. This amount makes four appetizer servings or two meal-size bowls and reheats really well in the office microwave for lunch!
On a baking sheet or in a baking pan roast cauliflower at 400˚F for about 10 minutes (I do it in my fancy, full-service Breville toaster oven) until getting browned at the edges.
In the meantime, heat the olive oil and butter in a heavy-bottomed soup pot at medium. When the foaming subsides, add the leeks. Stirring occasionally, allow the leeks to get very soft (5-10 minutes). Add the cauliflower, stir and cook a minute or two. Add the stock, bring to a boil, then add curry, lower heat, add milk and simmer for at least 30 minutes, until cauliflower is falling apart. Using an immersion blender or (in batches) a blender or food processor, blend until you reach the desired smoothness. Season to taste and serve, topped with a dollop of plain yogurt or croutons if you like.
17 More Warming Winter Soups!
If you Google National Pancake Day, you will find a variety of dates, from September to Shrove Tuesday (before Lent) to this coming Tuesday, March 3, as declared by IHOP (International House of Pancakes). So I hereby declare that Natalia National Pancake Day shall be any day that I don't have to be up at 5:30 a.m. and out by 7 for work and that my son wants to make them and I have the ingredients.
Yes, it is many degrees below zero and we are on a ski lift…am I smiling or grimacing?
Those stars aligned during the recent winter break from school. We spent the first part of the break with dear friends Adriana and Micaela at Adriana's sister and brother-in-law's in the Lake Placid area (because it wasn't cold enough downstate at -7ºF so we went for -27°F? Eek!). It was a terrific weekend of learning to ski and snowboard and snow shoe (and becoming almost casual about jumping the frozen battery of my car) and actually enjoying winter.
But one day we decided to go to The Wild Center at Tupper Lake, a beautifully designed nature museum full of Adirondack flora and fauna that you could admire in the sunny and well-heated indoors. Funnily enough, they had recipe cards, one of which was for whole wheat pancakes, which the little man decided he wanted to make when we got home.
The original recipe was for 14 pancakes, so we halved most (not all) of the ingredients, keeping the cinnamon and vanilla at full-strength, and adding homemade cranberry-blueberry jam.
The original recipe card Nice, right?
The little guy has really graduated to following a recipe, measuring and cooking on his own, except for the odd difficult pancake flip and one mild burn, so that was very cool.
We really liked the almost cake-like lift that the baking powder gave them. Not too sweet and very cinnamon-y, these were pancakes we will be making again and again.
Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add wet ingredients and mix until there are no dry spots, then stop right away. You can swirl in a couple of tablespoons of berries or jam at this point, or do it after you've made some plain ones, then add the berries to change things up.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt a knob of butter. When the foaming subsides, spoon batter into skillet ¼ Cup at a time, leaving plenty of room for each pancake. The surface will start bubbling. When the bubbling settles and the edges look set, it's safe to flip. Cook till the edges set again, remove and stack on a warm plate and start another batch, adding butter to the skillet as needed.
We're approaching the second Friday of Lent (and my second week without cheese, Lord help me). It'll be tuna salad for lunch tomorrow, but not your run-of-the-mill deli style tuna salad. I like my flavors a little bigger and bolder (except for the tuna, which I confess to liking on the milder side; I prefer albacore and try to purchase ocean friendly brands). Here's my easy way of making tuna salad special.
I am trying to keep the carb load down, so I'll just have my tuna salad with lettuce.
To one 5 oz. can tuna, drained, I add 1 Tbs prepared mayonnaise and 1-2 tsp each of prepared mustard, drained capers, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped onion, and chopped roasted red pepper. Mix well, season to taste, and serve on bread or salad.

Today I encountered a very upsetting and unexpected error using SharePoint 2013 on premise Remote Event Receivers.
The HTTP status code 413 indeed signals a Request Entity Too Large. So I was starting to think that it had nothing to do with SharePoint. I looked through the IIS Failed Request Logs and found that my service was indeed throwing a 413 message.
The reason behind this is that WCF by default only accepts messages up to 65536 bytes (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/de4f78af-5b03-4844-be52-335ab13a4f0c/remote-event-receiver-does-not-fire-for-some-items-same-list-one-item-works-one-does-not-checked?forum=appsforsharepoint).
This however doesn't explain yet why the message size increases gradually for items being updated many times.

Example for Checkpoint
10.1 - Until user agents allow users to turn off spawned windows, do not cause pop-ups or other windows to appear and do not change the current window without informing the user.
Slide 77 of 120
Have you ever selected a link to look at a new page, then discovered that the "back" or "go back" or "previous page" control of your browser no longer seems to work? Surprise... the link you chose may have caused the new page to load in its own new window. If both pages are full-screen you may not know that you have two browser sessions on the go. The code to open the new page in its own window might look like this:
The Wonderful World of Sponge
where TARGET=_blank tells the browser to spawn (or open) a new window for this page.
So, if your link spawns a new window, or causes another windows to "pop up" on your display, or move the focus of the system to a new FRAME or Window, then the nice thing to do is to tell the user that something like that will happen.
Visit The Wonderful World of Sponge (Please note: this link will open the page in a new browser window.)
