Historic tile conservation
The tiles on the wall under the arches in front of the café have been beautifully conserved. Richard Rogers Conservation experts filled damaged areas, delicately repainted missing images and replaced the protective layer. The work has been funded by The Friends. The next stage is for a tile-by-tile assessment of the tiles along the walkway above the café arches. The detailed proposal then goes to RBKC Property and a council conservation officer for approval. It is just possible this work can be completed before the site is closed in mid-March for Opera Holland Park's 2020 season.

Old tiled dairy
Restoration of the dairy building has been approved as part of the Holland House conservation work. Cracks will be repaired and damp ingress remedied. The Friends have been given the go-ahead to get a quote for conservation of the tiles. This is great progress.
Holland House conservation
The main conservation proposal has been approved and is the result of a very detailed assessment and carefully thought through solutions. The Friends have been kept in the picture throughout. The hold-up is due to a discussion amongst conservation professionals about restoration or replacement of the fleur-de-lys balustrades. Time is getting tight for the work to be completed while the opera is off site during this winter.

Parks police
The demerger of the parks police force (Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea/London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham) has happened and, once again, we have a team that focuses on the parks in this borough. They know Holland Park well, and it is already evident that they are able to spend more time preventing problems. Their very presence, patrolling the park, acts as a deterrent to anyone with anti-social intentions. We are delighted that their base remains in Holland Park's Stable Yard.
Protective fencing has been installed around the trees to the north of the Sun Trap Lawn. There used to be chestnut fencing there, but it disintegrated and, as a consequence, cut-through paths are compacting the tree roots, wearing away the under storey plants and creating bare paths across the lawn itself. Fencing off the area for a period will allow the vegetation to recover. The area was indeed very compacted. Scott & Louis, who hammered in the fence posts, had a real job to get the posts into the concrete-hard ground.

Monica Castelino appointed to Parks Manager role
Monica has been promoted to the important role of RBKC Parks Manager. The previous incumbent, Ian Ross, has left to look after Lambeth's parks. The Parks Manager role involves vision for, and management of some 90 parks, green spaces and cemeteries in the Royal Borough. That is a pretty significant portfolio.
The Friends are delighted at Monica's appointment because she knows Holland Park well, having been in previous park-related posts in the Borough for over 12 years, and already works with most of the stakeholders. The best news is that she intends to take a strategic approach to the challenges of our busy park, and she is already scoping projects that will make a positive difference. An example is the resurfacing of the road between the Ilchester and Duchess of Bedford Gates, which will be edged with kerb stones, and all service cables will be bundled into a buried conduit for easy access when repairs are necessary. Alongside this, the dogs-off-lead area will be aerated and hydro-seeded with strong grass so that dogs have something better than dust to run on. Removal of the ailing red chestnut trees along the north sports field fence will let in light that encourages the grass to grow. No small project then, and dealt with comprehensively.
Monica has other projects on the boil, but please be patient. She has a wide-ranging role, but no support until the recruitment process is complete.
The Friends will give her as much help as we can, which does not mean we always have to agree.
As a communications professional, with considerable experience in strategic planning for parks, Monica will be instrumental in keeping our park in good shape for those who visit it, while helping to ensure it also gives pleasure to future generations. She comments: 'Having grown up with Holland Park as my local park, to now be responsible for caring for it and protecting its future, is both nerve-wracking and exciting, and it means a lot to me that the Friends support my appointment to this role. My focus is going to be on strategy and future planning, but most of all communicating our processes and how we work, making how we operate as transparent as possible so that park users understand why we do what we do and the long-term benefits for people, wildlife and the environment.'

As at September 2019
The Friends have worked with the Council to install protection for these historic tiles. Even protection has to be carried out under the guidance of a conservation architect. The Council have been most helpful, and we hope that, in time, the fabric of the structure can be restored, and the tiles and stone shelves conserved. The room is currently being used as a café storeroom, and the tiles are being irreparably worn away.

Tile conservation
Conservation work was delayed but is now due to start in late September on the tiles under the arches outside the café.
The newly built playground was opened on Friday 19 July, to the delight of a group of children waiting impatiently at the gate. The minute the Mayor of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Cllr Will Pascall, cut the tape, he had to stand aside to let the avalanche of little folk rush in, all excited to try out the new equipment.
Before the official tape-cutting, the formal opening party had their turn. Not for a long time have I seen so many grown-ups have such fun. The Mayor on the see-saw, councillors on the zip wire, and a whole lot of us on the 'viper snake swing'. Shame we had to hand it over to the rightful 'owners': the children.
The pathways and bridge are fully accessible, with a wheelchair-accessible roundabout and accessible swings. The design was created in accordance with the response from a public consultation. This is a great result from much hard work by the RBKC officers involved.

We have not heard anything officially, but gather that the proposed conservation work on the house is close to approval. We await a start date as there is only a small window of opportunity for the work to be done while the opera is off site during the winter.
You will notice that wire fences have been erected to the west of the North Lawn and also in the south east corner. These are temporary and intended to prevent further erosion and tree compaction until 'impenetrable' planting can provide protection. At that point the fences will be removed.
Protective fencing has also been agreed around the trees to the north of the Sun Trap Lawn. There used to be chestnut fencing there, but it was removed and, as a consequence, cut-through paths are compacting the tree roots, wearing away the under-storey plants, and creating bare paths across the lawn itself.

Liz Merica Joins as a Trustee
Liz responded to the request for help in our summer newsletter, as did several others. We are delighted that she has agreed to join as a trustee to provide assistance to Membership Secretary, Rhoddy Wood, principally by managing the member database. Rhoddy will retain the title of Secretary, which is effectively Membership Secretary, and Liz will become Membership Administrator.
You all know how hard Rhoddy works, and it is appropriate now to be a little less heavy on her time, while retaining the benefit of her experience and expertise on the committee.
Liz told us she has lived within walking distance of Holland Park for many years and comes to the park often. She is a member and is familiar with what the Friends do to protect and enhance the park, which she regards as very special. Her career has been in international banking, so she is well aware of what it means to work in the context of regulators, as we do with the Charity Commission. She said: 'I joined the Friends because I thought I should give something back, and it is in that spirit that I am offering to help.' Liz has a wealth of useful experience to bring to the committee, including marketing, product development and IT systems.
As always we wait to see what this year's harvest brings. I have just visited a friend whose orchard grass was strewn with vast cooking apples, so the omens are good. But apple trees are as individual as people, and whether I will find the small sour crab apples that produce the tangiest jelly, I will not know until I go searching. Also, last year for the first time, two separate friends gave me quinces of different sizes and shapes, but both made jelly that was commended by those who tasted it. I have not yet heard from those people as I write at the beginning of September, but hope I will. So, if you are interested in crab apple or quince jelly, give me a call on 020 7602 0304 or email rhoddy.wood@virgin.net when you read this, and I will be able to tell you the position.

The Iris Garden
A bed full of tall bearded irises in clumps of different colours is a glorious sight. We had such in The Iris Garden in the 1980s and for many years previously. When the central fountain decayed and was replaced with William Pye's in 1999, it was named 'Siberica' even though Iris siberica is different and smaller than the bearded irises. (Iris siberica can be seen in the Kyoto Garden.) The name 'Siberica' is inscribed in the paving by the fountain, thus confirming the area as 'The Iris Garden'.
There came growing pressure to replace the irises with something that had interest for more than three weeks in the year. Most other London gardens replaced their iris beds so that ours gained extra praise for its rarity, but also increased pressure to follow the trend. The Friends fought hard to keep our irises, but eventually were forced into a compromise that the bearded irises should be interspersed with others that were repeat flowering or flowered in different months. The result, in this author's opinion, was never very impressive. Instead of one spectacular burst of flower we had small patches of flower throughout a longer season.
Bearded irises need their corms to lie along the surface of the ground so that they get a good baking after they have flowered and the leaves have been partly cut back for tidiness and to let the sun in. It was the 'uninterestingness' of this between June and April that fuelled the pressure for replacement. It is also work intensive because the bare ground needs to be kept scrupulously clean. In the present climate of cut backs this did not happen, and the beds got invaded with weeds, and especially Oxalis corniculata, Creeping Woodsorrel. This is the plant with tiny red clover-like leaves and tiny yellow flowers. It is not unattractive but is known throughout the world as being difficult to control because it has creeping stems which root at the nodes, fruit that explodes when ripe, and any piece of root or stem left in the soil will sprout. It gets into cracks between paving from where it is impossible to pull it out. Total weed killers or flame weeding cannot be used where there are desirable plants. The result of the Oxalis invasion was that the iris beds out of flower became not merely uninteresting but unsightly.
So Owen, the new head gardener, was given the task of designing a new planting scheme which would have some colour from March to October and would always have something green, would be easy to maintain and would keep some irises as a historical reference. He has chosen to do this by using a mixture of shrubs and herbaceous plants to a definite colour scheme of white, blue and purple to form ground cover (which Oxalis cannot tolerate), except for swathes of irises to give strong colour when in flower. These need to be planted later in the season, so when this article was written (late May) the sites for the irises were still bare strips. We will have to wait until May 2020 to admire the irises in flower when several different cultivars, all in varying blue tones, will resemble a river running through dappled sun and shade.
The rest of the planting concentrates on shifting colour among anchor points. It features some evergreen shrubs such as the Osmanthus burkwoodii used to form a hedge which flowers sweetly in spring and will always give form and definition to the garden. The little trees are Amelanchier lamarkii, June Berry, which will be covered in white blossom in spring and have leaves that turn scarlet in autumn. Over time both will need to be pruned appropriately.
So, once established, we should have a garden that has interest throughout the year, has clear structure and is relatively easy to maintain. And we will still have irises: blue ones similar to the ones in the photographs.

idverde Wins Gold at Chelsea
Holland Park's excellent contract garden team work for idverde; you will have seen the logo on their shirts. Their sister division, idverde landscaping, won a gold at this year's Chelsea Flower Show for their 'Family Monster Garden' in the Artisan category. Not only is that a great achievement, given tough competition, but it gave our Holland Park apprentice gardeners (Zach Hermann, Henry Murphy and Saul Heath) a chance to experience building a show garden for Chelsea: hectic, but thrilling.
I was told about the gold medal by enthusiastic apprentices and gardeners, who are justly proud to be associated with such well publicised success. Apparently, Prince William's visit to the garden was featured on television.
Well done, idverde.

Seeking Volunteers
Your membership secretary, Rhoddy Wood, works extremely hard and covers many roles, including management of the members database, new and renewing member communications, fulfilment of orders for merchandise and tickets, keeping the park noticeboards up to date, distribution of the newsletter, and much, much more.
She would now value some assistance, and The Friends are looking for one or possibly two volunteers to help with two functions: database management and sending out tickets and merchandise in response to orders. Volunteers will be working at home on their own computer, which allows the tasks to be organised around other commitments. While not particularly onerous in terms of time, it requires computer literacy, attention to detail and an understanding of the work of The Friends. You do not need to be a current member.
If you are interested, please contact Rhoddy Wood (Secretary) on rhoddy.wood@virgin.net, or Jennie Kettlewell (Chairman) on jenniekettlewell@aol.com to explore options.
In 2013, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) and the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham decided to merge some of their services, including the Parks Police. The decision has now been reversed and we will, once again, have our own RBKC Parks Police service. What difference will that make? It means that the team based in Holland Park, though fewer in number, will be able to focus more specifically on our Borough's parks.
Inspector Mike Rumble retired in April this year, after 10 years as head of the Parks Police. We were sad to see him go and owe him many thanks for all he has achieved while in post. Before he left he spoke at The Friends' Winter Warmer in February and regaled us with tales of his notable police career and some of the unexpected events he had dealt with in the Borough's parks.
More recently, Police Sergeants Helen Tilbury and Chris Ellinson have shared leadership of the Parks Police team and they will now report directly to Rachel Merriman, Senior Officer in the RBKC Community Safety Service. Rachel is excited about her new role and will be based in the park one day a week. With on-going savings required across all Council services, RBKC is looking at how all of our uniformed presence is organised.
The Friends were invited to express their view to the Council, and emphasised that:
• It is important that we keep a consistent team of police officers, so that we know them, they know us, and they understand how the park works.
• We continue the very welcome regular communication with the team.
• Police numbers be kept at a level that ensures that their presence in the park is evident.
• The Parks Police headquarters should continue to be in Holland Park.
We understand that their 'home' will still be in Holland Park's Stable Yard and that we will retain the officers we know, and who know us and the park. The Friends very much appreciate the work that the Parks Police team does to keep Holland Park a safe place.

Guide to the Birds of Holland Park
A Very Big 'Thanks' to Tasso Leventis. The Friends have produced a guide to the birds of Holland Park. We could not have done this without the generous support of member Tasso Leventis. The guide was Tasso's idea, and he has taken most of the stunning photographs. He has also advised on the contents, based on his considerable knowledge of birds. Best of all, he has generously donated the full cost of producing the guide. Thank you Tasso.
This new guide has full colour photographs and descriptions of 50 bird species that you can either see in the park, or can identify as they fly over the area. There is an explanation of how to identify the birds and many of the photos show typical behaviours that will help with identification. You will also learn the best places to find these birds in the park and some tips on bird watching.

History Tours of the Park
In the spring newsletter we mentioned that we were looking into the possibility of professionally led tours, featuring the history and decorative art of Holland Park. We have made progress, have a short-list of very well qualified guides, and hope to have the first tours running in the autumn. These tours will be open to members and to the local community rather than being designed to draw more visitors from far and wide. Watch out for information on the Friends' notice boards in the park, and in the autumn newsletter.
As at 11 February 2019
The tiles on the walkways
In 2004 The Friends made a significant contribution towards conservation of the Florentine tiles on the wall under the café arches and above, beside the higher walkway. The work has lasted well, but further conservation is needed, as these fine tiles are exposed to the elements. With Council permission the Friends have obtained estimates from experts with appropriate skills, and the Council has approved the choice of a company that carried out a detailed assessment of the condition of the tiles. We can only hope that progress with this work is not held up due to the greater conservation programme, which we were firmly told did not include the tiles. These two walkways, upper for fine weather and lower for rainy days, were created to link Holland House with the summer ballroom, on the orders of the 4th Lord Holland. The tiles were added between 1851 and 1858.
Armillary sphere
One of the id verde team noticed that the central rod (gnomon) was missing from the armillary sphere in the Dutch Garden. Without it, the device cannot show shadow and therefore time. The Friends obtained a quote from specialist Richard Rogers Conservation, who have been commissioned to manufacture a new gnomon. This is precision work and it needs to be measured up, fitted and burnished to match the original piece. This will be funded by The Friends.
Bees get their meadow
The beehives on top of the Stable Yard building roof are being relocated to Arboretum 1, behind the North Lawn, and east of Acer Walk. These hives and their occupants will continue to be managed by The London Beekeepers Association (LBKA), a voluntary organisation. LBKA will work with the Borough's Ecology Service to create and manage a pollinator meadow in Arboretum 1, stocked with appropriate wild flowers. In the short term the grass will be regularly cropped to reduce nutrients, so that the flowers take hold and the grass is weakened with a scattering of Yellow Rattle in the autumn, to assist with wild-flower meadow establishment. There will be one paving stone for each hive, but no additional infrastructure. To compensate for the cropped meadow, Arboretum 2, to the immediate west of Acer Walk, will undergo more sensitive management in 2019 for the pollinators to enjoy.
West woodland enclosure
This area of woodland, previously known as the Nature Play Area, was, for a time, open to children as a place to play in a natural environment. The sheer number of little feet compacted the soil and wore away the ground cover, so the space was closed to give the area a chance to recover. Nothing grew due to soil compaction and lack of light and it was obvious that a more radical solution was required to restore the wildlife habitat.
Leanne Brisland, Borough Head of Ecology, together with The Friends, developed a detailed restoration plan and submitted it to the Mayor's Fund for Greening London. The Fund has awarded the park £11,000 for implementation of the plan during 2019 and The Friends will add £3,000.

George Law
We are very sad to announce that one of our great supporters, George Law, died on Christmas Day after a long illness. Having recovered enough to attend our autumn talk, we were hoping that he would also be able to come to our Christmas carol concert, which he always looked forward to so much. But it was not to be.
He and his wife Anne joined The Friends in 1997 and regularly attended our functions and the AGM. George's experience in planning meant that he was able to advise us on many occasions, which was much appreciated.
You will recall that George often did write-ups for our various concerts, always with interesting information that he had researched. He was a great lover of classical music, and supported and followed the careers of young singers and musicians. He was a friend of Jonathan Dove who composed Flight, a thrilling opera performed by Opera Holland Park in 2015.
We will miss George's helpfulness and enthusiasm in all things Holland Park, and we offer our sincere condolences to his wife, Anne.

Hope for 'At Risk' Holland House
It is both sad and shameful that Historic England find Holland House is in such a poor state of repair that they have put it on their At Risk Register from this January. It is now mandatory for RBKC to fulfil its duty to look after the Grade-1-listed asset they own, and they must appoint a conservation architect to plan and oversee the work. The Friends see it as good news that the house will at last be conserved.
It is obvious to the naked eye that brick and stonework are damaged, the loose finials have been removed and stored, though we understand they have not been numbered as one would expect. The East Wing window frames are in bad order, showing signs of advanced decay. Blocked gutters and pigeon droppings have accelerated the damage.
The Council carried out a condition survey in 2018, but no planning/listed-building consent was applied for, although The Friends were told work was to commence in September 2018. It is unclear what work was entailed.
This grand old building is the reason the park exists, and one of the finest examples of Jacobean architecture in the UK. We look forward to hearing from the Council about progress on conservation plans. This is an opportunity.
Lycetts Insurance Brokers donates to Friends
Our 10%-discount arrangement with Lycetts Insurance Brokers has now been in place for a year, and it has worked for both them and for our members.
Lycetts is different from most insurance brokers in that it is owned by a charity (Allchurches Trust), and all their available profits are invested in the community. True to their ethos, we were delighted to receive their donation of £250, recognising household policies agreed with our members in 2018.
Jonathan Lloyd, head of Lycetts London office, not only knows Holland Park but was born in a house almost next to it. That link means our members can expect a truly personal service from the outset, which includes providing expert assistance and skilled negotiation with insurers in the event of a claim. Jonathan can be contacted on 020 7398 1660 or jonathan.lloyd@lycetts.co.uk.
Defibrillators in Holland Park
We have been asked to let our members know about the availability of defibrillators in Holland Park. All Parks Police vehicles are equipped with a defibrillator and there is also one in the Holland Park Police Office in the Stable Yard. If you find someone in Holland Park in need of a defibrillator (not breathing or appears to be suffering a heart attack), please call 999. This will alert the London Ambulance Service. Any call made to the London Ambulance Service concerning someone in our parks and open spaces, is automatically forwarded to the Parks Police duty phone. This is to ensure the fastest possible response until an ambulance arrives.
There was a request at our AGM for a map of Holland Park with all the places marked on it. We have produced one, and you can download it here. Please keep it; we hope you find it useful.

The indictment of Rick Perry
Criminalising politics
Even Democrats think the charges against the Texas governor are absurd
United StatesAug 23rd 2014 edition
RICK PERRY was indicted on August 15th for "coercion" and abuse of his office. Those are serious crimes; if convicted of the latter, he could face up to 99 years in prison. Yet he seems unruffled.
Mr Perry is planning to step down as governor of Texas next year, after 14 years on the job. He is expected to run again for the Republican presidential nomination: party activists warm to him, thanks partly to his robust response this summer to an influx of unaccompanied child migrants across the Mexican border. Last week in Iowa he described himself as "awesome". So the timing of these charges is awkward.
The prosecutor, Michael McCrum, has yet to lay out his evidence. After reading the two-page indictment, however, even liberals were unconvinced. "Unbelievably ridiculous," wrote Jonathan Chait of New York magazine. "Sketchy," tweeted David Axelrod, a former aide to Barack Obama. "Gov. Rick Perry of Texas is one of the least thoughtful and most damaging state leaders in America," thundered the New York Times; nonetheless, the indictment "appears to be the product of an overzealous prosecution."
At issue is Mr Perry's response to an episode in April last year. The district attorney of Travis County, Rosemary Lehmberg, was arrested for drunk driving and sentenced to 45 days in jail. Mr Perry called for her resignation. Many Democrats quietly agreed with him, but Ms Lehmberg refused to resign. Travis County, which encompasses Austin, is heavily Democratic, and the district attorney's office includes something called the Public Integrity Unit (PIU), which investigates corruption among statewide officials—most of whom, in Texas, are Republican. So Travis County's district attorney is one of the most powerful Democrats in Texas. If Ms Lehmberg resigned, Mr Perry would have had a chance to appoint a Republican to replace her.
Mr Perry, though, did more than simply call for Ms Lehmberg's resignation. In June 2013 his staff confirmed that he had made it known that he would use his line-item veto to remove the PIU's state funding unless Ms Lehmberg stepped down. Several days later, he did. The indictment is cryptic, but it seems to be based on the veto itself and the veto threat, respectively.
Yet the veto, though unusual, was surely legal. The governor has a line-item veto and does not have to give reasons for using it. As for the veto threat, Mr Perry's legal team insist that any such communication, if it occurred, was political speech protected by the First Amendment. The prosecutor seems to regard the normal cut-and-thrust of politics as a crime.
Most lawyers and pundits agree that the case against Mr Perry seems tenuous. But some think the apparent flimsiness of the indictment may prove to be its most ominous aspect. It raises the possibility that the prosecutor's evidence, which has been presented to the grand jury but not to the public, was convincing.
Grand juries are unpredictable but Mr Perry, who has never been prone to worrying, does not seem to have started now. Over the weekend he was defiant, dismissing the indictment as an abuse of power directed at him. On August 19th he turned himself in at a Travis County courthouse and posed for a rather fetching mugshot. Later this week, he will proceed with plans to appear in New Hampshire, the state that holds the first primary in 2016.

Matrix's address carries walk score of 96 and bike score of 100!
The $25-million five-storey condo project Matrix is one of the few multi-family projects in Calgary's southwest Mission neighbourhood being launched in the last few years.
The development at 320 19th Ave. S.W., by Mission 19 Ltd., will add 67 new homes to the popular inner-city neighbourhood. "I have a lot of faith in Mission. I like the area and the cohesiveness," says Harold Sicherman, the developer, who has a 20-year track record of development in the neighbourhood including District which was launched in 2013.
Matrix offers a combination of one-bedroom, one-bedroomplus- den, and two-bedroom units ranging from 612 to 868 square feet. Twelve of the units are listed under the $299,990 mark, making them particularly attractive to inner-city buyers. The top floor is designed to have a penthouse feel, with those units topping out at $471,350.
"The level of luxury available as standard features make Matrix the best value in the inner city," says Calvin Buss, president of Buss Marketing, which is marketing the project.
A big attraction for potential homebuyers is the project's location: near the busy 4th Street S.W. and the 17th Ave.
entertainment district, as well as being only blocks away from the Elbow River and the city's downtown core. The C-Train system is also close to that neighbourhood.
"There's a big difference in demand and desire between the Beltline and Mission because the Beltline is a high rental district and there's a lot of highrise towers constantly being built there," says Buss. "The demand/supply is always going to be in favour of supply and it's the demand that drives the price up. It's a little closer to walk to downtown but Mission is a very safe community. About 60 per cent of our buyers at District … were single women. All our postbuyer interviews said they felt very comfortable and very safe buying in Mission.
Owners will have heated and secure underground parking, storage, as well as separate bicycle parking and a dog wash in the parkade.
"There's lots of parks, lots of biking … and the Repsol Sport Centre (a multi-sports complex formerly known as the Talisman Centre and Lindsay Park Sports Centre) nearby," says Buss.
The Mission neighbourhood is also within walking distance of Calgary Stampede Park and the Saddledome.
The developer says the Matrix's specific address gives it a walk score of 96 and a bike score of 100 on walkscore.com, making it one of the most walkable neighbourhoods around. Residents in Mission can walk to an average of 18 restaurants, bars and coffee shops in five minutes.

Exploring design simplicity with a dramatic streak, Movado launched Verto™, a contemporary, tailored bracelet watch for men in 2010 at Basel. Now for 2012, the original Museum dial model is joined by a modern, streamlined chronograph, crafted for compelling visual contrast in solid and black PVD-finished stainless steel.
A round 42mm stainless polished steel/black PVD case with simple bezel design and cleanly sculpted crown protector frames the modern chronograph dial which is topped by a flat, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Detailed by a signature concave dot at 12 o'clock, the matte black chronograph dial features silver-toned skeleton dauphine hands, a small seconds subdial with date display at 6 o'clock and 3 retrograde chronograph counters with subtle white indices: a center-mounted seconds chronograph hand, and atypical pie-shaped 5-minutes and 60-minutes counters at 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock, respectively.
MOVEMENT: Precise 1/1-of-a-second Swiss quartz chronograph movement.
DIAL: Matte black dial with center-mounted retrograde chronograph seconds hand, retrograde chronograph 5-minutes counter at 2 o'clock, retrograde chronograph 60-minutes counter at 10 o'clock, small seconds subdial with date display at 6 o'clock, skeleton dauphine hands, rhodium-plated concave dot at 12 o'clock, white indices and lettering.
CASE: Solid and black PVD-finished stainless steel case with crown protector, two-tone black PVD/steel crown. Flat, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Water resistant to 3 ATM.
BRACELET: Solid and black PVD-finished stainless steel link bracelet with push-button deployment clasp.


This spray can be used as a pre and post yoga mist, as well as a toner.
This mist is super fine, and the scent is light and refreshing. It's a nice pick-me-up!
A pleasing, peaceful desk accessory with a side of Inception!
This is a fantastic tea in every way. The packaging is pretty and comes with a wooden scoop, the tea is all-natural, and this company only uses fair-trade ingredients and supports Kenyan farmers.
The tea is a blend of pink hibiscus petals, purple berries, green lemongrass and red rooibos. This is just a bit tart, caffeine free, and works as iced tea, too.
I love the beaded accent on the spoon!
I've seen a lot of tea diffusers thanks to subscription boxes, and they all work pretty well, but this one IS THE BEST ONE!
How slick is this design? It hangs on to the edge of your glass/mug with the curved handle.
Some of the most influential people in history have made themselves heard despite their quiet voices and personalities, such as Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Bill Gates. The Little Book of Quiet takes a broad look at the need for, and the benefits of, achieving more quiet in your life. It will teach introverts how to harness their many positive qualities, and help extroverts to allow more quiet into their lives. Now that everyone is connected digitally 24/7, more emphasis is being placed on achieving higher emotional intelligence (EQ) to empathize and negotiate with others.
The ability to be quiet is not only a key people skill, and a basic requirement of being a good listener, but it is also known to reduce stress, and help you find inner calm as it brings your focus back to the present world around you. The Little Book of Quiet explores the different ways of achieving more quiet in our lives, through tips, exercises, inspirational quotes and through the teachings of mindfulness.
This little clothbound book is so cute, and it totally speaks my language. I found the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, to be a life-changing book, and this is a nice little reminder of some of the lessons in that book.
These grippy socks have a padded footbed, elastic arch support for compression, and are made from 80% cotton, 20% spandex/elastane.
This was an additional item included for all subscribers as a thank you for sharing their box on social media!
Munk Pack is one of my husband Eric's favorite new brands, so he was happy to sample this cookie for the review!
And each Bombay & Cedar box includes essential oils!
They also include a card listing the benefits of the oil, and blending recommendations.
This oil is certified organic, as well!
Verdict: This box has a value of about $124! I think that's great for a $56.90 box that focuses on quality-ingredient items. This box is just such a thoughtful, inspired treat to open. This would make a great gift, too!
Updating this to say that the price you pay on Gilt for the sub does NOT cover shipping. So in addition to the $99 for a 3 Mo sub, I was just charged $21 for shipping. So it's $40 a box, not the $33/Box I thought I was getting. Still better than $56.40 retail, but a surprise nevertheless!
I love that tea spoon!
I was able to get in on the gilt city deal for this box and will receive my first box this month! I would love to have that book as I am an introvert that was once an extrovert! Great review Liz!
December was my first box and I loved it. January's was even better! I love this sub and highly recommend it.
This is a really nice box – I always hate when boxes charge shipping though! Why! Just include it into the price of the box, it's such a turn off.
That book is a great one, I read it a few years ago and it's really insightful and a short read! I should pick it up again!
Great box and great review!
Is this box still available, I want it!
Thanx for the book recommendation Liz!
I'm an introvert and I never got around to reading it. I will now. Maybe thats why I enjoy MSA far far above all others.

Welcome to Wexford Great War Dead
During the Great War, 1914 – 1918, a large number of men from Co. Wexford fought and died in the conflict which has been described as 'the war to end all wars'. This conflict resulted in a catastrophic loss of life and had dire and lasting consequences for generations across Europe.
In Wexford, the local newspapers of the period are full of the obituaries of those men and women, military and civilian, who died as a result of the war.
Until recently, it was believed that just over 500 men from Co. Wexford, who had enlisted in the British military, died fighting in the land war on the Western Front, Middle East and at Gallipoli. Research now shows this number drastically understates the loss of life for County Wexford.
Due to advances in digital archiving and on-line research tools, we now have access to Naval Service, Royal Flying Corp and Mercantile Marine records, as well as digitised birth, marriage and death records for the period. These advances in technology and research methods allow us to develop a fuller picture of the devastation caused to families and communities in County Wexford by The Great War.
Where have all the young men gone?
When we scan the Census forms
In twenty twenty one and wonder,
Then we remember. Ypres, Mons,
And the Somme.
They went to war a hundred years ago
Brothers, Fathers, and Uncles, we never grew to know.
They lay at rest in Ypres, Mons,
And the Somme
The Volunteers answered Redmond's call,
When Britain's back, was against the wall.
Never returned to where they came from
Now at peace in Ypres, Mons,
Today crowds who stand and silently wait, for the
Last post and reveille, at the Mennin Gate.
Read men's names and the regiments they came from
Who lie in graves, unmarked, at Ypres, Mons
That mournful sound as buglers play.
The Last Post in Mennin at the end of day.
Their memory in towns and villages will live on.
As they rest quietly now, In Gallipolli, Ypres, Mons,
To commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the end of The Great War 1914--1918. In Memory of. Pte Thomas Byrne. 1900. 6th Bn. Royal Irish Regt. Killed in Action at Passchendale, Ypres. 5th August 1917.

The Battle of Poelcappelle was fought in Flanders, Belgium, on 9 October 1917 by the British Second Army and Fifth Army against the German 4th Army. The battle marked the end of the string of highly successful British attacks in late September and early October, during the Third Battle of Ypres.


"Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the Lord" Psalm 4:5, NKJV.
"For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly" Psalm 84:11, NKJV.
I use to be a car salesman and in my line of work, my pay was based on commission. I had to trust God to send me customers that were not only able to buy, but willing to also. Yet, even when He did, in the moment I still found myself having to rely on God.
I remember a customer who was a definite buyer, asked me a question that I didn't know the answer to. I had a choice to make up something to get the sale, or to be honest, risking him not buying or wanting to work with another salesperson. I relied on God and I sincerely told him that I didn't know the answer to that question, but I would definitely find out for him. He then told me to call my sales manager over. I had no idea what He was going to tell him, which could have easily been negative. Instead, He told my sales manager that while he was at another dealership, a salesperson lied to him. Yet, I was honest, and because on my honesty, we have a deal and he would buy a truck from me.
No matter your line of business or your position, rely on God and walk uprightly. He knows your desire as a man to increase financially for your family. He knows your desire for promotion. However, you don't have to compromise your righteousness to get there. God is your Provider and as you put your trust in Him, He will take care of you. He sees you and at any moment, He can and will plentifully reward you.
Prayer: Father, thank You that I can rely on You. I will trust You and walk uprightly. Help me to serve You Lord in all I do, and never compromise my righteousness. No matter what others do, I will be a light for Christ. I thank You for bountifully rewarding me because my ways please You. In Jesus' name, Amen.


Yesterday was about characters and blogging basics. I didn't really have much to put in other than a late Instagram post.
This book was a life changer for me. Why? The characters. If you haven't read this or any Steinbeck novels, do so. Sooner, rather than later too.
Anywho... today is about books that become movies, or even tv shows. For me, I have told the world I want too see The Lunar Chronicles made into something visual and on-screen. It would seriously be the one thing I would pay money to go see.
Because of my love of this series by Marissa Meyer, I have decided to offer up the first book that starts it all, Cinder, for giveaway.
US readers vie for an ecopy.
CDN readers vie for print.
Both delivered straight from Amazon. YAY!
Sorry to my international readers and ABEA readers, them's the breaks when my wallet is only so deep.
I hope whoever wins, loves this book, and series, as much as I do.
**No compensation was received for posting. Opinions and photos are owned by this site. Freda's Voice is responsible for prize shipment. Freda's Voice is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged prizes.
Nice give-away. I don't qualify so good luck to the others.
Thank you for the giveaway. Love this book!
I'm woefully behind on Steinbeck. I need to get on that.
Great choice of book to giveaway!
Not entering the giveaway as I have this one. I adored it and would love to see this series as movies. They'd be every bit as great as Hunger Games or Divergent! Maybe better????
Yes, I'd like to see Cinder on the big screen too. The special effects could be amazing.
I read East of Eden a few years ago. It really hit me. I especially loved the concept of timshel.
I'd like to see what would happen with Geralyn Beauchamp's Time Masters series taken to the screen. I know enough to know she keep her hands in what was going on with it so as to avoid certain Book to Movie blunders and she also knows a bit about screen writing so could probably edit the basic bones even.
I think Cinder would be great to see at the movies!
I think Cinder would make a great movie. Also, Across the Universe by Beth Revis.

Blandings is a British comedy based on the Blandings Castle Stories, by author P.G. Wodehouse. The series is a comedic depiction of Lord Elmsworth in 1929 at Blandings Castle. He lives there with sister Connie, and his son Freddie. The show also outlines their many houseguests, nieces and the many boyfriends. Lord Elmsworth's deepest desire is simply to be left alone with his prize pig, but this never seems to occur. His family is constantly creating drama and adding comedic and frustrating moments to his life. The series also depicts Lord Elmsworth's butler, Beach, loyal and always somewhat helpful.
The show depicts the antics of a cast of comedic characters and family members, who often find themselves in troublesome situations. Lord Elmsworth is often attempting to avoid family members, and avoids interacting with them by going to extreme means to avoid their company but never is quite able to pull it off.
The series includes such depictions as elder sister Charlotte threatening to stay on indefinitely at the castle, or younger brother Clarence threatening to publish a memoir, which threatens to expose secrets of the family. Other episodes include a cast of friends and other family members who equally complicate and add comedic drama to the episode.
Clarence's bid to win the Pumpkin prize is threatened by Connie's ambition to marry Freddie off to Sir Gregory's niece.
Hannibal Didcot is bullying Clarence over a fake painting, so Connie encourages Hannibal to propose to wealthy American, Vanessa Polk. Galahad and Freddie have other ideas.
Connie is trying to impress Colonel Fanshawe, in the hope that Clarence might succeed Fanshawe as Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire; but Beach is behaving very oddly indeed.
Clarence has grown an appalling beard, to the dismay of Beach and Connie, but Freddie needs Clarence to convince Hollywood starlet Pauline Petite of his bona-fides.
Clarence must prevent his younger brother Galahad publishing his scandalous memoirs and ruining the family name. If he fails, Connie will exile him to hellish London.
Clarence and Connie's even more terrifying sister, Charlotte, is threatening to take up residence at Blandings. Permanently. Freddie comes to the rescue with an audacious plan to steal the Empress.
The poker-wielding Duke of Dunstable threatens to have Clarence committed for pottiness, so Beach and Freddie hatch a plan to rescue him. Eggs required.
It is the annual fete at Blandings Castle, and Connie will again force Clarence to wear a revolting top hat and stumble his way humiliatingly through a speech. Worst of all, he is banned from picking his beloved flowers by the tyrannical head gardener Angus McAllister. However, Clarence befriends Gladys and Ern, two cheeky schoolchildren who encourage him to assert himself. Connie is naturally scandalized, and brings her howitzers to bear on the ghastly intruders. Freddie - needing to touch his old man for some cash - struggles to help Clarence and the children; inevitably he makes everything worse.
Clarence's lugubrious niece Gertrude has been imprisoned at Blandings by Connie and forced to overhaul Clarence's library. Her ministrations are driving him crazy. Gertrude's forbidden love, the outstandingly clumsy Revd. Beefy Bingham, infiltrates Blandings using a false identity. He is determined to win Clarence's approval for the match. Meanwhile, Freddie has inadvertently married a Portuguese exotic dancer and must do his utmost to keep that a secret from Connie.
Connie is anxious to make a good impression on her visiting childhood friend Veronica, and her rich American husband, Jimmy Schoonmaker. She enlists the services of the pathologically fastidious secretary Rupert Baxter to purge Blandings - and in particular Clarence - who is liberally anointing his roses with stinking manure. Meanwhile, Freddie has fallen madly in love with dog-lover Pandora and attempts to impress her by becoming a dog-food salesman, much to his Aunt Connie's exasperation.
Clarence needs to be able to get his pig eating again or he will lose the Fattest Pig prize to his rival Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe. Connie demands that he put a stop to his niece Angela's love affair with ex-cowboy Jimmy and push her towards the noxious Lord Heacham.
Blandings is currently available to watch and stream on BBC One. You can also buy, rent Blandings on demand at Amazon Prime, Google Play, iTunes online.

La línea 193 de la red de autobuses interurbanos de Madrid une la terminal subterránea del Intercambiador de Plaza de Castilla con Pedrezuela y El Vellón.

 Características
Esta línea une Madrid con estos dos municipios en aproximadamente 75 min. Existen expediciones que no realizan ninguna parada entre Madrid y las Urbanización Fuente del Fresno/Club de Campo en San Sebastián de los Reyes al lado de la A-1 llamadas EXPRESS. Dichas expediciones omiten las paradas de los cascos urbanos de Alcobendas y San Sebastián de los Reyes y reducen el trayecto en aproximadamente 15 minutos de los tramos Madrid - San Agustín del Guadalix - El Molar - Pedrezuela. Existe una expedición diaria que alcanza el municipio de La Cabrera y dos diarias que tienen la cabecera/terminal en la Estación de Alcobendas-S.S. de los Reyes (cabecera de la línea C-4a de Cercanías Madrid).

Hasta abril del 2014, la línea contaba con expediciones que daban servicio a la Urbanización Cotos de Monterrey en Venturada que fueron dadas de baja e incluidas en la línea 191.

Hasta febrero del 2016, la línea contaba con expediciones nocturnas las noches de viernes, sábados y vísperas de festivo que circulaban entre Madrid y Pedrezuela. En esa fecha fueron prolongadas hasta el municipio de Venturada y el 20 de diciembre del 2019 fueron absorbidas en la recién creada línea N104. Estas expediciones correspondían a la sublínea 193112, que actualmente están dadas de baja puesto que las realiza la nueva línea N104.

Hasta el 15 de marzo del 2016 existía una parada en la km. 36 de la A-1, y otra de vuelta, (códigos 11492 y 11493), dando servicio al restaurante Las Moreras, situado en el término municipal de El Molar en la corona tarifaria C1.

Siguiendo la numeración de líneas del CRTM, las líneas que circulan por el corredor 1 son aquellas que dan servicio a los municipios situados en torno a la A-1 y comienzan con un 1. Aquellas numeradas dentro de la decena 190 corresponden a aquellas que circulan por la Sierra Norte de Madrid.

La línea mantiene los mismos horarios todo el año (exceptuando las vísperas de festivo y festivos de Navidad), tan solo eliminando el servicio de ida de lunes a viernes a las 14:25 los días no lectivos y durante navidades y el verano.

Está operada por la empresa ALSA mediante la concesión administrativa VCM-103 - Madrid - Buitrago - Rascafría (Viajeros Comunidad de Madrid) del Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid.

 Material móvil

Por lo general, las líneas 193 y 197 se turnan el material móvil entresemana.

 Sublíneas
Aquí se recogen todas las distintas sublíneas que ha tenido la línea 193, incluyendo aquellas dadas de baja. La denominación de sublíneas que utiliza el CRTM es la siguiente:

 Número de línea (193)
 Sentido de circulación (1 ida, 2 vuelta)
 Número de sublínea

Por ejemplo, la sublínea 193109 corresponde a la línea 193, sentido 1 (ida) y el número 09 de numeración de sublíneas creadas hasta la fecha.

Las sublíneas marcadas en negrita corresponden a sublíneas que actualmente se encuentran dadas de baja.

 Curiosidades
Entre las curiosidades y peculiaridades de la línea se incluyen las siguientes:

 No se permite la circulación con viajeros de pie saliendo de los túneles del Intercambiador de Plaza de Castilla (aunque sí a la vuelta). Los autobuses no podrán cargar más viajeros si se ha llenado el número máximo de plazas autorizadas con asiento, en cambio, al llegar a la parada 3253 - Paseo de la Castellana - Hospital La Paz sí que podrán recoger a viajeros de pie. Esta restricción aplica a todas las líneas bajo la concesión VCM-103, pero no a aquellas de las concesiones VCM-101, VCM-701 ni VCM-702.
 A pesar de que la línea no cuente con una longitud superior a los 50 km. se aplica la utilización de un tacógrafo. Esta restricción aplica a todas las líneas bajo la concesión VCM-103, que a pesar de que algunas cuenten con recorridos inferiores a los 50 km. (por ejemplo la línea 193 y algunos servicios de la línea 197) los conductores dentro de un mismo turno en un día de trabajo realizan servicios de todas ellas, necesitando así el uso del tacógrafo. El Artículo 3 a) del Reglamento de la Comisión Europea 561/2006 exige la utilización de un tacógrafo en líneas con un recorrido mayor a 50 km. y respetar los tiempos de conducción y descanso. Esto significa que en caso de que un servicio llegue retrasado al siguiente, no podrá cumplir el horario programado y deberá esperar hasta cumplir el descanso establecido antes de volver a conducir. En caso de existir una retención que cause al conductor exceder sus tiempos de conducción establecidos, no incurrirá en sanción al encontrarse el vehículo retenido por causas del tráfico, o podrá justificar el motivo del exceso a la Dirección General de Tráfico. En caso de una restricción de tráfico de grandes proporciones, se reorganizarán los turnos de los conductores alterando sus servicios previstos para cubrir aquellos que se han visto afectados por las retenciones. Este cambio es invisible a los usuarios puesto que solo afecta a un cambio de turno de conductores.
 No se permite la circulación con viajeros de pie al norte de San Agustín del Guadalix. El artículo 48 b) del Reglamento General de Circulación establece la velocidad máxima de circulación fuera de poblado en 80 km/h y dado que al norte de San Agustín del Guadalix se circula por la autovía A-1 en la que la velocidad máxima para los autobuses es 100 km/h se aplica esta restricción. Técnicamente existe un tramo entre las urbanizaciones Ciudalcampo y Santo Domingo hasta San Agustín del Guadalix en el que se circula brevemente por la autovía A-1 pero la Dirección General de Tráfico permite la excepción hasta llegar a San Agustín del Guadalix. Dado que el resto de la línea se realiza por la vía de servicio de la A-1 sí se permite los viajeros de pie en esos trayectos. Algunas comunidades autónomas permiten la circulación con viajeros de pie en viajes de menos de 35 km. Entre las situaciones que causa esta restricción, podría darse el caso en el que viajeros con destino Madrid no puedan montarse en el autobús de pie y se les deniegue la entrada, pero al llegar a San Agustín del Guadalix pueda permitir la subida de viajeros hasta cumplir el número máximo de plazas autorizadas del vehículo. También se podría dar el caso en el que los viajeros procedentes de Madrid no se les permita continuar el viaje si van de pie al llegar a San Agustín del Guadalix y verse obligados a abandonar el autobús y esperar al siguiente que permita viajeros sentados. De esta manera, todos los servicios EXPRESS no permiten viajeros de pie, al circular por la autovía A-1 en vez de la vía de servicio de la misma.

 Horarios

 Recorrido y paradas

 Sentido El Vellón
La línea inicia su recorrido en el intercambiador subterráneo de Plaza de Castilla, en la dársena 36 (el servicio que parte desde la superficie del intercambiador de Plaza de Castilla lo hace desde la dársena 45), en este punto se establece correspondencia con todas las líneas de los corredores 1 y 7 con cabecera en el intercambiador de Plaza de Castilla. En la superficie efectúan parada varias líneas urbanas con las que tiene correspondencia, y a través de pasillos subterráneos enlaza con las líneas 1, 9 y 10 del Metro de Madrid.

Tras abandonar los túneles del intercambiador subterráneo, la línea sale al Paseo de la Castellana, donde tiene una primera parada frente al Hospital La Paz (subida de viajeros). A partir de aquí sale por la M-30 hasta el nudo de Manoteras y toma la A-1.

La línea circula por la A-1 hasta la salida de Alcobendas, donde circula por la Avenida Olímpica (1 parada para la subida de viajeros), la Calle de Francisca Delgado y el Bulevar Salvador Allende, de igual manera que circula después por el Paseo de Europa de San Sebastián de los Reyes con 6 paradas para la subida de viajeros (sólo se permite el descenso de viajeros en la parada 06693 - Paseo de Europa - Calle de María Santos Colmenar).

El objetivo de restringir las paradas del casco urbano de Alcobendas y San Sebastián de los Reyes a sólo permitir la subida de viajeros se debe a que esas zonas que recorre esta línea ya están cubiertas por Metro o Cercanías y otras líneas interurbanas con cabecera en el Intercambiador de Plaza de Castilla que tienen mucha mayor frecuencia y colapsarían la línea 193 para realizar trayectos muy cortos. De esta forma se evita que las expediciones de esta línea vayan llenas y no puedan recoger a los viajeros con destinos mucho más alejados de Madrid cuya única opción sea la línea 193 y un trayecto de en muchas ocasiones superior a 1h.

Al final del Paseo de Europa sale a la N-1 y posteriormente a la A-1, por la que prosigue su recorrido con algunas paradas junto a las urbanizaciones y zonas industriales de la autovía situadas entre San Sebastián de los Reyes y San Agustín del Guadalix (7 paradas).

La línea entra y sale de la Autovía del Norte para dar servicio a los cascos urbanos de San Agustín del Guadalix (4 paradas) (las expediciones con origen/destino San Agustín del Guadalix tienen la cabecera/terminal en el polígono industrial norte de San Agustín del Guadalix) y El Molar (5 paradas) (las expediciones con origen/destino El Molar no realizan las paradas que dan servicio a la Urbanización Vistasierra a pesar de encontrarse dentro del término municipal), y continúa en dirección a casco urbano de Pedrezuela, por el Paseo de la Ermita. Dentro de este municipio circula por las calles de Las Eras, San Roque y Cerro de San Pedro, teniendo en esta última la cabecera aquellas expediciones con origen y destino en Pedrezuela. Aquellas que siguen a El Vellón retoman la calle de Las Eras y el Paseo de la Ermita volviendo al nudo de la N-1 e incorporándose a esta en dirección a Burgos hasta la salida 47, teniendo después una parada junto a la desviación de El Vellón.

En esta salida toma la carretera M-122 en dirección a El Vellón, donde circula por las calles Magdalena y Pozonuevo, teniendo la cabecera en esta última en el Barrio de la Mina y realizando 4 paradas en el municipio.

La expedición que continúa a La Cabrera sale de El Vellón y realiza el mismo recorrido que la línea 191, atravesando los municipios de Venturada y Cabanillas de la Sierra hasta finalizar su recorrido en la última parada de La Cabrera.

Sentido Madrid (Plaza de Castilla)

El recorrido en sentido Madrid es igual al de ida pero en sentido contrario excepto en determinados puntos:
 El servicio que procede de La Cabrera no entra dentro de El Vellón, a pesar de no aparecer mencionado en los horarios del CRTM.
 En El Molar sigue realizando 5 paradas pero todas ellas en el casco urbano, ya que la parada 17975 - Carretera A-1 - Camino Viejo de Francia no tiene pareja para las expediciones de vuelta.
 En San Agustín del Guadalix tan solo realiza una parada en el polígono industrial sur, debido a que no existe la misma vía de servicio como a la ida. Las paradas 15988 - Carretera A-1 - Calle La Lobera y 15990 - Carretera A-1 - Calle Salguerilla no tienen pareja de vuelta.
 La línea realiza 6 paradas en el Paseo de Europa de San Sebastián de los Reyes, todas ellas sólo para el descenso de viajeros (''sólo se permite la subida de viajeros en la parada 06751 - Paseo de Europa - Parque Picos de Olite).
 Dentro de Alcobendas, circula por el Bulevar de Salvador Allende en lugar de por la Avenida Olímpica, parando en un punto sólo para el descenso de viajeros.

El mismo criterio se aplica a la vuelta de la línea en las paradas del casco urbano de Alcobendas y San Sebastián de los Reyes a sólo permitir el descenso de viajeros. Debido a que esas zonas que recorre esta línea ya están cubiertas por Metro o Cercanías y otras líneas interurbanas con cabecera en el Intercambiador de Plaza de Castilla que tienen mucha mayor frecuencia y colapsarían la línea 193 para realizar trayectos muy cortos. De esta forma se evita que las expediciones de esta línea se llenen y aumenten el tiempo de viaje a los viajeros con orígenes mucho más alejados de Madrid cuya única opción sea la línea 193 y un trayecto de en muchas ocasiones superior a 1h.

1. Last night I finally watched FORBIDDEN PLANET, after having had it vehemently recommended to me, and after having bought some Robby the Robot toys in Berlin not knowing what they were from, and I was blown away. Not only did I think it was one of the coolest movies of all time, BUT I think I might want to LIVE IN IT. All those 50s space age sets, including glittery pink couches and diamond-shaped metal corridors and fake looking gardens with tigers roaming through them, had my friend Barb and me a-swooning. And the clothes! Look!
2. Speaking of a-swooning, I also recently sat down for a private MARLENE DIETRICH festival with my friend Michael that involved the extremely gorgeous Song of Songs and Seven Sinners (with John Wayne!), both great, both absolute luxury to look at -- like a silky hot bubble bath, for your EYEBALLS -- and both chock-full of wardrobe concoctions that will make you lose yo breath. I mean really, look at this lady.
4. Another movie I really liked recently was An Education, set in England in the early 60s, where Peter Sarsgaard seduces a 17-year-old girl who's thirsty for culture and adventure by taking her to glamorous clubs and concerts and eventually to PAREE. And they're always hanging out with this other super-fashionable couple and smoking out of long cigarette holders and listening to French pop music and twisting up their hair like they was some AUDREY HEPBURN and wearing little leopard caps whilst driving about in snappy sports cars. It's all very swoony and made me wanna smart smoking even tho I already smoked through all my teenage years and most of my twenties, near ruining my lungs, and have been smoke free for ELEVEN YEARS now. Actually, this film is totally a bad influence and I forbid you to see it.
5. So my friend David's play The History of Invulnerability (about the creator of Superman, Jerry Siegel) is going to be opening at the CINCINNATI PLAYHOUSE IN THE PARK in April, and this is a big deal, I read this play as a draft and I saw it performed in a reading as part of the Barn Series of the Labyrinth Theater Company, and now it's gonna be a PROPER PRODUCTION, and so my mama and I are driving to Cincinnati for the opening, which I am very excited about. And also, whilst there, we will hopefully see the late-in-life second husband of my late great aunt Dee Dee. They had one of those great romantic tales: they fell in love as teenagers in Ohio but were forbidden to marry by their families and so went on to marry other people. They lost touch with each other, they moved away, they raised families, lived their lives, grew old.. and eventually his wife died, and he got to thinking about his first love and spent a long time tracking her down, and found her living in Kentucky and also widowed (or else her husband died at some point after, I forget). They fell madly in love and married. My mother, sister and I visited them in Lousville a few years back, and they were very clearly madly in love, and she was sick, and he doted on her and took care of her. I think they had a handful of years together before she died, and now he is back living in Cincinnati. So I cannot wait to see him. I also understand that, way back in the day, Dee Dee's family lived in a great big Cincinnati mansion where "maids churned butter in the basement." !
6. I mentioned how one of the highlights of my time in Germany was seeing MAX RAABE & THE PALAST ORCHESTER with my friends Eric and Uli. I loved them so much that I'm seeing them again with my sister at Carnegie Hall on March 4, and also persuaded my parents to go see them in Erie, PA, on February 27 and even found said parents a lovely B&B to stay in and agreed to look after their crazy and possibly psychopathic dogs whilst they're away, as added incentive. Max Raabe is a huge deal in Germany but less known here, and he's about to do this odd sort of mini-tour of the US (from Carnegie Hall to Erie PA!) and so if he's coming to your town and you like you some OLD-TIME GLAMOUR -- that word needs a U -- then you must go see him! He and the show in general are just completely charming and elegant (in a most extreme, exaggerated way) and hilarious and heartbreaking and sweet sweet sweet.
So imagine: this most perfect, glossy Art Deco-lookin tiered stage, a perfect little orchestra composed of all white-tuxedo-ed men and one woman, the violinist, who sits in the midst of them in a bright red sparkly gown, and Max Raabe in front, leaning against the piano, long and lean in a black tuxedo, never smiling, wry and bored and mischievous, kinda like if Marlene Dietrich were a DOOD, moving his eyes slyly about, and then they start playing all those best best most lovely old songs, sweet and simple but always a bit melancholy and nostalgic and wistful even when all they're saying is you're the cream in my coffee. And all this is punctuated by these unexpected moments of pure magic.
One of the loveliest moments in film, if you axe me.

GOP Congressman Spent His Week Harassing Muslim Colleague On Twitter
Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) spent his first week at work since the government reopened harassing a Muslim colleague on Twitter with baseless suggestions that she hates Jewish people.
It started on Tuesday, when he found out he had been chosen as the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. Exciting! But he couldn't fully rejoice in the honor of being the second-most-powerful member of a House subcommittee because he also learned that he would have to work on the panel alongside freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).
"Crazy to watch what House Dems are empowering/elevating," Zeldin tweeted.
Was just selected as Ranking Member of the @HouseForeign Subcommittee on Oversight & Investigations! Just learned Freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar was also put on this committee w oversight of US foreign policy. Crazy to watch what House Dems are empowering/elevating.
— Lee Zeldin (@RepLeeZeldin) January 29, 2019
Omar responded dismissively to his tweet, and Zeldin dug in. "Your anti-Semitic & anti-Israel hate is strong & wrong," he posted on Twitter late Wednesday. The next day, he tweeted an audio recording of a voicemail in which a random unidentified caller said, "I wish Hitler would have done his fucking job." Zeldin, who is Jewish, tagged her in the post and asked if she disagreed with the caller's rant.
This new VM just came into my office. @IlhanMN, this is just another day in my world as an American Jew in Congress. Would love to know what part of this hate filled, anti-Semitic rant you disagree with? I disagree with all of it. Do you? pic.twitter.com/4WoJqiATCf
Omar told him that she, too, receives hateful calls and voicemails. She invited him to share notes on how to fight religious discrimination — "Maybe over Somali tea, in your old office which I happen to be in now."
He responded by asking her to co-sponsor a resolution of his that names her — alongside white supremacist leader Richard Spencer and alleged Pittsburgh synagogue shooter Robert Bowers — as examples of anti-Semitic hatred.
Zeldin didn't specify in his tweetstorm why he was so upset to see Democrats assign Omar to the subcommittee. He also didn't say why he felt she — and none of the other hundreds of members of Congress — should have to weigh in on the anti-Semitic voicemail sent to his office. But there are a few things about the progressive congresswoman that make her different from other members of the legislature.
Omar lived in a refugee camp when she was a child and in November became the first Somali-American elected to Congress. She and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) are the first Muslim women elected to Congress. After being sworn in, Omar successfully pushed to overturn a 181-year-old ban on wearing head coverings on the House floor, allowing her to go to work wearing a hijab.
Zeldin's Twitter rant was a classic racist dog whistle. It was a wink and nod to all his pals who hate seeing a woman of color wearing a hijab in a position of power. But it was written with just the right lack of specificity that he could claim ignorance when confronted with the nasty implications of his message.
Asked to clarify what he meant by his first tweet, Zeldin denied it had anything to do with Omar's religion or gender. "Congressman Zeldin is referring to empowering/elevating pro-BDS, anti-Israel, pro-Maduro, etc., including asking for leniency for ISIS fighters," spokeswoman Katie Vincentz wrote in an email, referring to the boycott, divestment and sanction movement and socialist Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Zeldin tagged Omar in the tweet with the anti-Semitic voicemail because he wanted to know "if his pro BDS, anti Israel colleague disagreed with it," Vincentz continued.
Zeldin's claims about Omar's political stances are baseless. She has praised the boycott movement but also questioned whether it is an effective way to achieve an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement. She opposes legislation that would criminalize the constitutionally protected act of participating in a boycott. Supporting the BDS movement is not equivalent to being anti-Semitic or anti-Israel. She has urged against a "U.S. backed coup in Venezuela" but has not supported Maduro. And the claim that she has pushed for leniency for ISIS fighters — a narrative spread by far-right conspiracy theorist Jacob Wohl — is based on a letter she wrote to a judge in 2016 suggesting rehabilitation instead of long prison sentences for a group of radicalized young men who were convicted of trying to join ISIS but never made it to a combat zone.
Since entering the political fray, Omar's opponents have looked for every opportunity to portray the foreign-born Muslim lawmaker as a threat to Jewish Americans. In just the past two weeks, the National Republican Congressional Committee sent out at least eight emails accusing her of being a bigot and an anti-Semite. Through it all, she has patiently reiterated her positions and remained receptive to good-faith criticism.
Last month, for example, she recalibrated her defense of a tweet during the 2012 Gaza War, in which she wrote, "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel." In response to a New York Times column about her tweet and the history of anti-Semitic portrayals of Jews as deceitful manipulators, she defended her criticism of the Israeli military but said she regretted unintentionally invoking the trope.
Zeldin, however, has shown no such willingness to evolve.
In 2015 he met with the Long Island Oath Keepers, a New York chapter of a far-right anti-government militia movement. He has appeared as a guest on a radio show hosted by Frank Gaffney, an Islamophobic conspiracy theorist who has also had white nationalist Jared Taylor on his show. Gaffney is best known for suggesting that former President Barack Obama is Muslim, accusing opponents of submitting to Sharia and objecting to having Muslim members of Congress serve on the House Intelligence Committee because they might leak information to the Muslim Brotherhood. Last year, Zeldin held a fundraising event with Sebastian Gorka, a former White House adviser who was photographed wearing a medal indicating membership in the Vitezi Rend, a Hungarian group that collaborated with the Nazis in World War II.

Hello everyone! There will be another Wizard Jam in December! If you're new to the community, Wizard Jam is the community-run game jam we host twice a year.
Wizard Jam is not a contest; the main emphasis is to celebrate the Thumbs community through sharing and collaboration over the course of a fortnight. We write devlogs and post GIFs. We offer support and volunteer music, sounds and other assets. We play each other's games and stream them. It's a lot of fun.
The other thing we try to emphasise is encouraging people to try making something new and unfamiliar; or to try game development for the first time entirely (quite a few of the entries we've had in the past are from complete first-timers to gamedev!). We run the jam over the course of two weeks to give people the room to try something weird and see how it turns out.
The diversifiers are an optional challenge for the jam. They're creative prompts, designed to help you design a game around a specific limitation (or set of limitations). You can choose as many (or as few) as you like and incorporate them into your game.
This jam is not a competition, and there is no minimum level of game development experience needed to join. People from all backgrounds are welcome to participate. If you're new to gamedev, let us know! Join us on the forums and on Slack; where you'll find help, advice and encouragement from the community.
Entries containing any form of harassment or hate-speech are not permitted. Anything crossing into this territory will be removed.
Use this subforum to make development log threads, recruit folks, and chat about development related stuff! There's also the game development subforum and the #wizardjam slack channel. If you aren't a already a member of the slack group and would like an invite, send me a private message at @zerofiftyone and I will make sure you get access.
After the jam finishes, we'll be hosting Showcase Weekend; an opportunity for everybody to step back from the game making process and look at what everyone else has made; with an emphasis on giving feedback and comments to fellow creators. It's covered in the schedule below, and there'll be more details to follow.
Nice! I think I will have time to take part this time.
I make my biannual return to say yes, and yes again.
If ever I was motivated to finish my current project, it is right now.
Hey so it really bugged me that the pause jingle bells didn't loop quite perfectly. So here's a better (?) fully loopable version in case you actually want it to be in your game and looping.
We need all the usual asset-sharing and team-building threads up!
I really don't think I'll be around to do anything this jam - unless I find a couple of days to cobble something together - and perhaps not even to play through as many of the entries. But I'll try!
Nice. For some strange reason the loop breaking delay in the end appeared when I converted the file to mp3.
@BigJKO 's Cwine, also @Ben X did a couple of WJ games with it.
I do *not* recommend using that in its current state. It's possible to make things with it, but it's... cumbersome!
Ah, ok! Well I really liked the stuff made with it. I'll whip up something simple in gamemaker then.
Good luck everyone! Remember to #wizardjam on twitter!

After an extensive tour of Asia leading into the new year Timmy Trumpet is back with his new single 'Wassup (Listen To The Horns)' with Kastra and featuring Chuck Roberts. This is the perfect summer anthem to get the party started.
The track embodies Timmy's iconic trumpet riff as the main feature whilst the energetic vocal and instrumentation just adds to the texture creating an electronic club banger. The light hearted nature of the lyrics and the intense driving beat elevates the song to the next level.

Let's hope Gatties not wondering anymore!
Italy's continued involvement in this tournament is making a mockery of the event. Even if they are 'getting better' as some like to think, the gap to rest is getting so big now that is doesn't matter. They're absolutely dreadful and they offer nothing on the field apart from bloating individual player stats. We're at the stage now that anything less than a bonus point win is deemed a failure, no matter how hard the players and management try convince us otherwise.
Plenty of excuses are brought up as to why there shouldn't, at least, be a play-off for a relegation/promotion game. One is that it'll kill Italian rugby. But if they're not good enough to beat Georgia or Romania at home, then tough luck. Another argument is that Georgia and Romania are not very good either. But they'll never be if they don't get even a slice of the action Italy does. In the past 12 months, Italy have played Ireland twice, England twice, France, Scotland twice, Wales, Fiji twice, Australia, Argentina and south Africa. They normally play 8-10 games every year v tier 1 nations. That's about 40 in a world cup cycle. How many go Georgia and Romania get? Maybe 4? And none at home. Over 18 years, does anyone really believe Georgia or Romania would be as bad as I Italy are no we?

Other than an outing to Rome every 2 years Italy offer nothing to the 6N. Their record against us is 1/18 and 0/19 against England. Poor oul Parisse is a shadow of his former greatness. However the couple of million the other 5 nations get from their home games against Italy will ensure the continuation of the turkey shoot. Of course Georgia should get a shot though February in Tiblisi is a far less appealing prospect than Rome on so many counts.
Romania and Georgia are nowhere near the level of Italy end of. Italy beat SA just over a year ago and while they lost yesterday still managed a record points haul against us, even England found them tough work last week. They have beaten everyone bar England in the tournament and even they have had lucky escapes.
The important Italian result at the weekend is the under 20 game where we had a scare from a 14 man side at donnybrook!
Also when was the last time you considered taking a trip to Tiblisi or Bucharest as opposed to Rome???
This argument is nonsense, it took France much longer to develop in the tournament, ditching Italy now would damage the tournament and international rugby as a whole.
Now if you want Georgia and/or Romania to join and grow the tournament I'm all for that being considered.
Italy and record points. Says a lot about our underperforming crew. They were sleepwalking through the second half. Or maybe third in the world is an aberration.
There is a BIG difference between Georgia and Romania. Georgia are a lot closer to Italy than you think. That said I agree with you wholeheartly. Italy need to be kept with maybe Georgia added to the tournament.

But joey and larmour were playing when we conceded those points.
I thought Joey's kicking looked better than normal yesterday. Got some great length.
The kicking from tee was heartening too. He seems to have a slightly different, more rigid style than before. Wonder has he been working on it.
wixfjord wrote: I thought Joey's kicking looked better than normal yesterday. Got some great length.
That's interesting. Again if I were Ross Byrne I'd be slightly pissed off at the attention Joey is getting, when he hasn't shown nearly as much at 10 as Byrne has for Leinster.
Well now, using your own argument on Joey's lack of a recent performance record for Club, we could turn that back on Ross. Byrne's record at 10 in an international is not great compared to Carberry. Same logic.

Perhaps so. As we keep saying, Carbery looks like he has more potential, but Byrne has led us to some big victories from 10, and with exposure to Irish camp and guys like ROG and Richie he could be even better.
Yeah the addition of "recent" makes all the difference.
Indeed it does. You mentioned the argument of 'Joey's lack of a recent performance record for club'. I didn't say that.
You see Joey has been injured since before Xmas and has only come back. So it would be unfair and also impossible to judge his recent performances at 10 for Leinster since there are none. Likewise Byrne has none at test level. Impossible to compare right?
What we can compare easily is their respective performances at 10 over their career for Leinster. The evidence there, for a variety of reasons including injuries to Carbery and others, is that Byrne has outperformed Carbery and led us to some big wins.
Now you could say Carbery has a higher ceiling and maybe he does, but Byrne's record speaks for itself.
For Leinster's sake he'd better have a higher ceiling than the extremely limited Byrne. Otherwise there in no decent 10 on the horizon.
Raydollard wrote: For Leinster's sake he'd better have a higher ceiling than the extremely limited Byrne. Otherwise there in no decent 10 on the horizon.
Yep clearly he limited us not like we've had one of our best ever group runs against some full on opposition in Europe with him as arguably the main 10?

Q: Full Support of r.v. and model identification Consider the model:
$$y_i=x_i'\beta + \epsilon_i$$
where $\epsilon_i$ is i.i.d. and follows a $N(\mu,\sigma^2)$ with $\sigma^2>0$ and where the distribution of $x_i$ has full support on $R^k$. You observe a sample of n realizations $(y_i,x_i)$.
Question: Why are all parameters identified and why the full support assumption, meaning that $x_i$ has no constant, is crucial for model identification?
