For example: 2 of the rookie d-men dropped the gloves tonight. It's good for teams to always wonder who's going to come after them. It's not just Daniel Amesbury, though he is definitely the team's enforcer. He's already fought Gabriel Boutin-Gagnon twice inside a week.
Kyle Johnson and Chris Bailer both fought tonight as did Derek Pallardy. Huh? It reminded me of the night Orrin Hergott fought...and Tom Maldonado. If the smaller guys on a team are going to stand up for themselves and each other, that sends a message to other teams.
This team had a great night, a shutout win. My prediction is that it'll only get better. The rookies on offense...Alex MacLeod and Jonathan Redlick...didn't contribute on the scoresheet, but made some nice plays. Can you imagine what's going to happen when all the forwards play together for a little while and those crisp passing sequences start clicking?
Then you have that Vigier guy. This team would be really great if he wasn't such a slacker...haha. Ian Vigier picked up right where he left off. He was riding a playoff sweep in which he notched 6 wins, including a shutout, and had a nice little 1.30 GAA. So what has he done for you lately? Posted a shutout on opening night.
I caught up with a few of the guys during the jersey auction and got their post-game thoughts. Starting with Ian....
"We made just a couple of mistakes, but pretty much picked up where we left off. The new guys stepped in right away."...Ian Vigier
After the Snakes scored only 1:20 into the third period to stretch the lead to 4-0, new head coach Gary Graham pulled goalie Steve Christie. I asked Ian if he was surprised.
"Yes and no. They needed a spark."
The game changed when the lead became 4 goals. From that moment on, with the win looking like a probability, the guys were determined to get Ian the shutout.
"He deserved it. He played an unbelievable game. We knew they'd keep coming. He didn't lose a step from last season."...Kevin Kessler
Kevin also spoke about his fellow defensemen, rookies Johnson, Bailer and Tom Fitzpatrick.
"We have some big boys on the back end. They are physical guys who are also solid defensively."
John Sullivan had a goal and an assist. John, Jordan Braid and Brett Hammond had multi-point games. Seven different Snakes scored, which is always a good thing.
"We were a little nervous at first, with everything going on. Sometimes you come out a little flat. The new guys jelled very well. They stood up for their teammates."...John Sullivan
Brett Hammond had a disappointing end to the regular season last year. He was waived to make room for Sam Bowles when Sammy came off the 30-day IR. The Snakes were unable to get Brett on the playoff roster. Brett conducted himself with dignity and class and remained supportive of his teammates throughout the championship run.
It was so great to see Brett off to such a good start. He had a goal and an assist in game 1.
"Everyone was really prepared. We were a little sloppy because we were excited at the start. But everyone was professional and got the job done. The new guys fit in perfectly. There will be some growing pains as they're learning."...Brett Hammond
Jerome told me, and I'm paraphrasing here, that he was ready to get all this "stuff" over with and play hockey. He knows what a distraction all of the pregame festivities were. He also knows that the last time the Snakes raised a banner...Opening Night, 2005, his team lost to Huntsville 3-2.
"What got me was how focused they were through all the hoopla. They got their rings and said, 'thanks...now let's go play.' We tried to keep things simple. There are a couple of things we've got to fix. Ian saw the puck all night and reacted well to it. He started just where he left off."
It's always wonderful to see the players' families in town, especially on such a joyous occasion as this. Debbie and John Sullivan, Sr were in attendance. My pals Dave Kessler and Danny were here tonight... two faithful Snakes fans and regular readers. :) But this time, Kevin's mom Kathy was also in the house!! Peggy and Jon were here to cheer on Tom and I heard that Derek's folks were here, but didn't see them.
Mitch Wall returned with hair down to his shoulders. Will Barlow was back with hair NOT down to his shoulders. Both Mitch and Will received warm receptions when they were introduced and skated the Cup around. Certainly Andrew Krelove, Dave Cianfrini, Pete MacDougall and Greg Beller were missed!!
It was neat the way the soldiers rappelled down with the banner and first puck. Seeing that banner rise is always such an amazing moment. As it slowly ascends, all of the memories of a magical season come flooding back. All the hard work, all the injuries, all the superb performances.
That's it for 2011-2012. The players have their rings. The banner is up there. The Cup lives here now. But all that matters is that the Snakes are 1-0 THIS season.

Trekking in Annapurna Region Travel Guide
updated on November 17th, 2021
Nepal, albeit being a relatively small country, certainly does not lack trekking destinations. Nepal is a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, and multi-cultural nation. It consists of diversity in all aspects, from its natural topography, biodiversity, people, and ethnicity, and tradition. Consisting of fantastic Himalayan ranges to its north and many exotic cultural villages and settlements, Nepal is famous worldwide for its trekking experiences. Some renowned trekking regions in the country include the Everest Region, the Annapurna Region, Langtang, the Manaslu region, and the Mustang, among many others. Among all of them, the Trekking in Annapurna Region is perhaps one of the most famous ones.
Its popularity is well-deserved as the region's various feature of beautiful natural scenery, and hill culture is not found anywhere else. About two-thirds of the trekkers visiting Nepal tend to trek in the Annapurna Region. Its appeal is primarily based on its easy accessibility, great guesthouses, lodges in the mountains, fantastic mountain landscape, and ethnic prominence.
Trekking in the Annapurna Region often starts close to or from Pokhara, a relaxing place to end a trek and a comfortable place to create one. With amazing close-up views of the mountains just a day up the trail, trekking in the Annapurna region is particularly feasible with good communications and safety. Sustainable tourism in the Annapurna region is mainly thanks to the ACAP- the Annapurna Conservation Area Project.
Launched in 1986, ACAP is the most considerable undertaking of NTNC (Nepal Trust for Nature Conservation) and is also the first conserved area and the largest protected area in Nepal. Covering an area of 7,629 square kilometers, the ACAP is home to over 1000,000 residents of different cultural and linguistic groups, along with a treasure trove of biodiversity and natural elements. The natural and cultural features of the Annapurna region have made it the most popular trekking destination in the country. Annapurna draws in more than 60% of the country's total trekkers annually.
Over the years, tourism has managed to be firmly established as one of the most critical and fast-developing sectors of the local economy. With over a thousand tea-houses, lodges, guesthouses, and hundreds of other subsidiary services caterings to tourism, the Annapurna region has managed to become internationally well-known, both for its formidable mountain peaks and its natural beauty. Popular treks in this region are on well-beaten tracks, along with a few off-the-beaten-track destinations as well. It is a perfect combination of natural delights and cultural tenor.
Topography and Climate of the Annapurna region
Located in west-central Nepal, the Annapurna region stretches from sub-tropical lowlands with lush temperate rhododendron forests in the south to dry alpine steppe environments in the north. The area also supports dense coniferous forests containing several orchids and many of Nepal's 700 medicinal plants. The region's physical features are dominated by mountain ranges and Himalayan peaks of the Annapurna massif, the Nilgiri Himal, the Tilicho Peak, Himchuli Himal Machhapuchhre, Gangapurna, Lamjung Himal, the Tukuche Peak, and many more. The Annapurna Mountain range stretches from the north to the south of the region, and the Kali Gandaki and the Marshyangdi Rivers lie on either side.
Three major river systems also drain the Annapurna Conservation Area. The region's altitudinal range varies drastically from 1,000 meters above sea level to 8,000 meters, resulting in a mosaic of different geographical zones, from subtropical conditions in the south to alpine zones in the north. In a stretch of fewer than 50 kilometers, the terrain consists of tropical hardwood trees, pine-clad hills, oak woodlands at medium altitudes, and rhododendron and fir forests giving way to birch and juniper hamlets before the terrain finally changing to alpine scrublands, grasslands, meadows, and treeless zones the higher up the elevation goes. The region can be broadly divided into two distinct ecological settings: the Trans-Himalayan and cis-Himalayan.
The Trans-Himalayan part of the Annapurna includes the Upper Kali Gandaki and the Upper Marshyangdi Valleys. In contrast, the cis-Himalayan region comprises the valleys of Madi, Bhujung, lower Kali Gandaki, and Lower Marshyangdi.
The Climate also varies with altitude and aspect. There are a 6°C drop in the temperature for every 1,000 meters rise in elevation. The average daily temperature decreases between December and February (the winter season) and reaches a maximum between May and July (the summer). The monsoons dominate the seasonal climate between June and September, and the rainfall type is also closely related to altitudes and rain-shadow effects. The best seasons for visiting the Annapurna region for trekking would be the spring season and the autumn. The spring lasts from March to May, and autumn affects the part from September to December.
Annapurna Region Wildlife
The cultural diversity of the region is equally rivaled by its unique and notable wildlife as well. The variation in altitude and topography and the existing forest cover provide a wide range of habitats to many animal species. There are a recorded 1,226 species of flowering plants, 102 species of mammals, 474 birds, 39 species of reptiles, and 22 species of amphibians found in the Annapurna Conservation Area.
Exotic and elusive animals like the Himalayan black bear, Himalayan Thars, the barking deer, Ghorals, the blue sheep, Musk deer, Red Pandas, and Snow leopards occupy the woodlands. All of these listed animals are endangered. The Annapurna region also provides excellent habitats for a wide variety of spring and autumn birds migrating from India, China, and other areas.
Furthermore, many other animals have a home in the forests, and trekking along the lush acreages of vegetation may result in encountering them. Some common animals, as opposed to the more elusive ones mentioned before, includes the Pika. It is not a rare disorder, but it is a tiny fluffy ball of a mammal with short limbs, rounded ears, and no external tail. These little critters are commonly spotted on the famous Annapurna Circuit, and they resemble slightly smaller versions of chinchillas. And although the Abominable Snowman (the Yeti) sounds like a fabricated tale given its lack of conclusive evidence, they are not entirely off the grid as many locals believe that they have caught a glimpse of this giant in the Himalayas.
The Ethnic Diversity of the Annapurna Region
The cultural diversity of the region consists of people of Gurung and Magar ancestry. In the south, Gurung and Magar ethnic groups dominate, whereas Thakali, Manange, and Loba people overlook in the north. Each of these groups speaks its dialect and has its own unique cultures and traditions. Brahmin, Chhetri, Kami, and Newar ethnicities and other occupational casts also occur in comparatively smaller groups in the peripheral parts of the region. There is a significant prevalence of Hindu and Buddhist religions in Annapurna.
The settlement pattern is mostly clumped in most Gurung villages, whereas the settlements tend to be more scattered at other ethnic villages. This heterogeneous culture of the region attracts a large number of tourists. Speaking in precise terms, the people who occupy the high mountain regions are the Gurungs, Thakalis, and the Bhotias, as other minor groups occupy the lowlands.
As with many other rural areas of Nepal, the people in the Annapurna region depend on traditional agricultural practices and farming for their livelihood, along with tourism and animal husbandry. Buffalo and cattle-rearing occur all over the area, and they are utilized for milk and dairy production, drafting, and other purposes. Yaks are also reared at villages lying above 2,000 meters, along with sheep and goats. It is common to come across herds of domesticated cattle heading off to pastures while trekking in the Annapurna region.
Most people are also involved in other socio-economic activities like porters, operating tea shops and lodges, producing and selling handicrafts, and collecting medicinal plants. The dependence of the local people on natural resources is also abundantly seen in many activities.
While trekking in the Annapurna, the opportunity to observe many unique traditions of the ethnic people becomes an experience that fascinates travelers. For example, one exciting custom followed by the Gurung people, called bandhane, takes place three days after the birth of a baby. This customs entails wrapping the newborn baby in a long piece of cloth after the baby has been washed in cow's milk. Other region customs include the Magar ladies adorning themselves in traditional Magar attire with complete (flower-like ornaments) in the middle parts of their ears and necklaces made of glass beads and coins. Likewise, other ethnic groups also showcase their mastery of traditional costumes, folk dance, and folk songs during celebrations and festivities.
Highlights of the Annapurna region
Pokhara is perhaps one of the most famous cities of Nepal and the starting point of most of the trekking journeys of the Annapurna region. The metropolis of Pokhara is the largest city of Nepal in terms of area and is located west of Kathmandu. Its altitude varies from 837 meters in its southern part to 1,740 meters in the north. The Annapurna range has three of the ten highest mountains globally- Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I, and Manaslu- lie 15 to 35 miles away from the Pokhara valley. Also referred to as the "Tourism Capital of Nepal" and "the country's adventure hub," Pokhara has various lakes, caves, extreme sports, and museums that pull in crowds from all over.
The city of Pokhara lies at the northwestern corner of the valley and has the Seti Gandaki River draining through it. The Seti Gandaki, which translates to "the White River," has created many tributaries in the city, along with several gorges and canyons in and around Pokhara that intriguingly gives the city long sections of terrace features. Pokhara also borders the Phewa Lake in the south, a part that earned its name as "the Lake-side City." The Himal of Machhapuchhre also lies close, and its reflection can sometimes be seen on Phewa Lake's tranquil waters. Several caves can also be found within the city's limits. In the south of the city, a tributary of the Seti mentioned above, Gandaki flowing out of the Phewa Lake disappears at Patale Chhango- The Davis Fall (named after someone who supposedly fell in).
The waterfall plunges through rock formations and into an underground gorge and reappears about 500 meters further south. The Begnas Lake also lies to the city's southeast, and many other lakes dot the area, like Rupa Lake, Khaste Lake, Maidi Lake, Neureni Lake, and Dipang Lake.
Pokhara also has many temples and Gompas scattered throughout its parameters, and many pertain to both the Hindu and the Buddhist people. The Tal Barahi Temple lies on an island in the middle of Phewa Lake. Likewise, other notable places of worship include the Bindabasini Temple, the Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave/Temple, the Sunpadeli Keseri, and the World Peace Pagoda, among many others.
Tilicho Lake
Tilicho Lake is the highest located lake globally, and it is situated 55 kilometers away from Pokhara. It is also considered one of the largest in the country. The Lake of Tilicho has many mountains surrounding it, like the Khangsar Himal, the Muktinath peak, and the Tilicho Himal. The turquoise waters of the Tilicho Lake are pretty mesmerizing, and the lake is a famous side-hike among trekkers doing the Annapurna Circuit.
The lake is a source of the glacial melt of the entire northern slope of the Annapurna and the Thorung Peak. The lake was also the site where hundreds of Hindu pilgrims flocked to after being convinced that the lake was mentioned in the Hindu epic- Ramayana. Its tranquil atmosphere and the serene, undisturbed water make for a fascinating destination for trekkers. The lake is often used as a respite after a long day's trek.
The Annapurna Base Camp is a famous trekking destination of the Annapurna region. Reaching the base camp of Annapurna is a trekking journey that trekkers from all over the world do. The trip to the base camp consists of regular trekking routes that pass through the region's villages and terrains. It is a prominent trekking experience in Nepal and the region's most famous trekking journey.
Starting from the city of Pokhara, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek consists of the western portions of the Annapurna Himal range, making appearances along the trip in a very prolific and spectacular fashion. Comprising of Hiunchuli, the Annapurna South, Fang, Gangapurna, Annapurna III, and the Machhapuchhre Himal, the western face of the Annapurna massif is arranged in a precise form that creates a bend having a diameter of almost 10 miles. This resembles a natural Himalayan amphitheater, where trekkers travel along steppes of beautiful forests and cultural villages.
Poon Hill
Poon Hill is a famous vantage point of the Annapurna region that offers a spectacular panoramic view of the entire Annapurna mountain massif. It is visited by many trekkers and is quite a popular destination in the area. Because of its panoramic view, trekkers tend to get back early in the dawn and hike to Poon Hill from Ghorepani to look at the breathtaking phenomenon of the rising sun amidst the Annapurna mountains.
The changing colors of the cerulean mountains as the rays of the sun sweep across their surface are pretty beguiling. Poon Hill is also part of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, and the wide-open expanse of the vantage point with the sight of the mountains right in the front is one of the most impressive aspects of the region. It is reached by hiking from Ghorepani- a small village that occurs along the base camp trail. Coincidentally, Ghorepani also has one of the most extensive rhododendron forests in all of Nepal.
The Kali Gandaki Gorge
The deepest canyon in the world, the Kali Gandaki Gorge, also called Andha Galchi, marks a prominent presence in the Annapurna region. The gorge separates the significant peaks of Dhaulagiri on the west and the Annapurna I on the east, with a portion of the Kali Gandaki River flowing directly between the two mountains. The upper part of the gorge is also called the Thak Khola, named after the local Thakali people.
Kali Gandaki Gorge has been used as a trade route between India and Tibet for centuries. Today, it is a popular part of the famous Annapurna Circuit Trek. The gorge also lies within the Annapurna Conservation Area and is named after the Hindu goddess Kali. The exact depth of the canyon is still debated, but it is estimated to be about 6,000 meters deep. Surrounded by majestic mountains, the gorge is visited by many pilgrims and travelers.
The Kali Gandaki River
The river is a primary drainage system of the Annapurna region, with its source at the border of Tibet. It originates from the Nhubiene Glacier Himal in Mustang and flows southwest through the Kali Gandaki Canyon. The Kali Gandaki River is older than the Himalayas and is known for containing Saligram fossils. These Saligrams are considered holy by the Hindu people, and they are believed to be the non-living forms of Lord Vishnu. After flowing through the gorge, the river turns east and runs along the northern ridge of the Mahabharata range.
Muktinath is a famous sacred place that pertains to both the Hindu and the Buddhist people. The temple of Muktinath is located at the foot of the Thorung la Pass, and it is a popular destination that occurs during the Annapurna Circuit Trek. Muktinath is often called "a place of liberation" and is considered a highly revered place of religious significance. It is one of the most ancient temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is one of the 51 Shakti Pitha Goddess Site.
The small temple contains a human-sized golden statue of Lord Vishnu and bronze images of Bhoodevi- the Earth-Goddess form of Lakshmi. The temple also has pictures of Lava-Kusa, the sons of Lord Ram, and the princess Sita. For Tibetan Buddhists, Muktinath is considered an important place for Dakinis, goddesses known as Sky Dancers, and the temple is one of the 24 Tantric places. There is a semi-circular wall behind the temple that has 108 stone faucets with heads carved into bulls. The ice-cold water of the Kali Gandaki River flows through these faucets, and pilgrims often stand beneath each sprout.
The Thorung La Pass
The Thorung La is a famous mountain pass that has an elevation of 5,416 meters. The key lies north of the Annapurna Himal and is located on the trail which connects the village of Manang in the east with the temple of Muktinath. The Thorung La is also the highest point on the Annapurna Circuit Trek, and the local people use the mountain pass for trade. The mountain pass is generally devoid of vegetation and has a dry environment. Because of its strategic location of being shielded by the monsoon rains by the Annapurna Himal, the Thorung La Pass, along with the Manang Valley, receives significantly less precipitation. Strong winds sweep across the pass, and sometimes, heavy snow accumulates during the winter.
The Annapurna Sanctuary
The Annapurna Sanctuary is a huge part of the Annapurna Conservation Area. It is a high glacial basin that lies 40 kilometers directly north of Pokhara. The topography of the sanctuary resembles an oval-shaped plateau that sits at an altitude of 4,000 meters. Surrounded by a ring of the Annapurna Mountains, the entrance to the monastery is located at the narrow valley between the Hiunchuli and the Machhapuchhre peaks. Because of the high mountains on all sides, the Annapurna Sanctuary receives only 7 hours of sunlight a day at the height of summer.
The unique combination of size and depth of the sanctuary gives rise to various ecosystems, with rhododendron and bamboos flourishing towards its southern slope and a dry arid landscape resembling the Tibetan plateau towards the north. The entire sanctuary is sacred by the Gurung people, and they believe that the area was a repository of gold and various treasures left by the Nagas- the serpent gods.
Tatopani or Hot Spring
"Tatopani" literally translates to "Hot Water"- a befitting name for its natural Hot Spring. The bubbling water of the hot spring sits in a sizeable serene rock pool at Tatopani, and it is a semblance of a Japanese-style spring of hot water. The naturally occurring hot spring at Tatopani is believed to cure ailments of the body by the local people and is said to have medicinal properties.
Tatopani lies about 5 kilometers away from Kodari, on the border of Nepal and Tibet. The hot spring's waters are coveted for having high mineral content, and they stand out as natural healing elements. The relaxing water of the hot spring tends to rehabilitate the muscle and offers a rejuvenating interlude during long hikes and trekking journeys. The hot spring temperature at Tatopani borders on mild to moderate, and the spring releases amounts at various points around the hot spring compound.
Ghandruk Village- The Switzerland of Nepal
Ghandruk is a popular place for treks in the Annapurna region. The views of the Annapurna Mountains from the village of Ghandruk, as well as the sight of the Machhapuchhre Himal and the Hiunchuli peak, are utterly marvelous. The town is located at about 4 to 5 hours walking distance away from Pokhara and is inhabited by Gurung people. Situated at an altitude of 2,012 meters, Ghandruk offers traditional and rural features. The village's location on the mountainside with the Himalayas decorating the sky's tapestry provides a picturesque sight that looks like it has been painted on a vast green canvas. Ghandruk is also considered the central hub of the ACAP, where the local people, donkeys, and mules are seen trudging along the village's cobbled-lines street.
Marpha Village
The village of Marpha is another famous village of the Annapurna region. Its terminology comes from a combination of two words- "mar," which means "Hard Working," and "Pha," which means "People." With tourism and mule rearing serving as the primary livelihood of the people, the village of Marpha is also referred to as "the apple capital of the nation." Local Marpha brandy, apple pies, and apple jams produced in the village are considered some of Nepal's most exotic and delicious delicacies. A pretty stone-lined village, Marpha has managed to survive in the current time by catering to tourism.
Dominating the village is the Nyingma monastery, from which there are good views of the village and the Gandaki River valley. Above the monastery lies a chorten painted onto the cliff face, with several small stone chortens on the ledges below. Legend says that the villagers became afflicted with leprosy, and all attempts to control it had failed. Initially from Tukuche, south of Marpha, a local monk advised the villagers to build the chorten and hold religious rituals at the site. Since then, leprosy stopped, and Marpha flourished once more. On the opposite bank of the Gandaki River on the southern outskirts of Marpha lies a Tibetan refugee camp and the Chhairo Gompa, the first Nyingma monastery to be established in the district of Mustang.
The Annapurna Region offers many more highlights. Trekking in Annapurna Region is one of the most dramatic and beautiful experiences in Nepal. It is a great way to get into Nepal's diverse beauty and many authentic cultures, history, religion, and features.

The rush to accountability by major advertisers may wind up eliminating most major consumer brands from store shelves. Marketing and promotion budgets are now being evaluated by click-throughs, actions taken and regression modeling metrics that rarely reflect reality -- more so than ever before. The silver bullet has become special offers, price reductions and other short-term gimmicks. Brands that follow this practice will eventually become faceless commodities. And when that happens, store brands and private labels win the price war.
Consumers buy brands they can trust and have a long-term relationship with. Advertising creates the relationship, not low price offers. "I Want My MTV" had no price offer; it was great image advertising. Same for the original ads for Absolut Vodka, Volkswagen and the Energizer Bunny. If all advertising becomes nothing more than measured classified advertising, why should the consumer be willing to pay more for a brand than a private label?
Major marketers need to reinvent themselves in their thinking. Clients have squeezed ad agencies on their fees, with the result that great advertising is a thing of the past. The quick solutions are gimmick- and price-driven. Great advertising that not only builds brands but keeps them relevant requires enough creative people on an account, with enough time to think. Sad to say, this no longer exists.
Marketing executives should not function as accountants. Out of the box thinking often cannot not be justified or quickly measured, but it often produces phenomenal results in the long term. Short-term marketing cannot produce long-term results. Unfortunately, today's marketers have been forced to become short-term thinkers by the accountants.
Great magazines such as The New Yorker, O The Oprah Magazine, Sports Illustrated, etc. could save a great deal of money by eliminating all four color editorial pages. Would consumers cancel their subscriptions? I doubt it, but the brand would become less relevant over time.
Fashion, beauty and some travel advertisers still sell their brand image. That's why consumers will often pay more for their products than store labels and brands. Classified advertising and banner ads work because what's being sold is often a known brand. If marketers continue to put more of their budgets into only measurable advertising and promotion, then their shelf space and consumer connection will dramatically erode over time.
Today's consumers are sleep- and time-deprived. Their attention spans are short. To get their ongoing attention you need ongoing image advertising that sells the consumer benefits. The reinvention that's called for is "Back to the Future." It simply means using marketing budgets for marketing the way it use to be, when the glass was half full and CEOS did not try to measure every ad and every dollar spent. A creative and effective marketing process is hard to measure in the short term.

Henri Amouroux (1 July 1920 in Périgueux, Dordogne – 5 August 2007 in Le Mesnil-Mauger) was a French historian and journalist.

Life and career
Amouroux was born in the French city of Périgueux on 1 July 1920. After studying at the ECJ, he began his career as a journalist during World War II and joined a French Resistance group based in Bordeaux (group Jade-Amicol). He was awarded Croix de guerre 1939-1945.

Amouroux wrote several books on the German occupation of France during his life, especially a ten-volume La Grande Histoire des Français sous l'Occupation (The Full History of the French under the Occupation), published from 1976 to 1993. He later worked for several French newspaper (France Soir) radio (France Inter) and television (TF1) stations. Amouroux was called to testify on behalf of Maurice Papon in 1997, who was on trial in France for his role in the deportation of Jews during the German occupation of France and Vichy collaboration. His testimony was used to counter American historian Robert O. Paxton's version of the Vichy France period during World War II. His testimony was criticized mostly by lawyers representing Jewish Holocaust victims who accused Amouroux of being an apologist for Papon and Vichy France's collaboration with the Nazis. Amouroux denied all charges and MRAP's lawyer, Gérard Boulanger, was convicted for defamation in 1997.

Amouroux was a member of the Institut de France and served as president of the Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques. He died in 2007 in Normandy at the age of 87, and was buried in the Gironde region of France.

'Friends' stars pay tribute to Gunther actor James Michael Tyler following his death: 'Thank you for the laughter'
James Michael Tyler passed away on Sunday following a battle with prostate cancer, which he was first diagnosed with in 2018.
The actor who played Gunther on 'Friends' says a fan theory about how the group always got the same couch at Central Perk 'makes a lot of sense'
Some fans of the sitcom believe the friends were always able to get the same spot because Gunther placed a "reserved" sign on the table.

Brixton 1981: the great insurrection
Thirty years ago Britain's inner cities were ablaze. Patrick Ward looks back at what sparked the revolt
Published Tue 5 Apr 2011
Police face rioters in Brixton
The poor of Brixton, south London, rose up against poverty and racism 30 years ago this week. Police stations and vans were set alight as thousands poured onto the streets. People were no longer prepared to put up with racist police officers and rising unemployment.
Socialist Worker called the uprising "a festival of the oppressed" as ordinary people took their area back from the police.
As Tyrone, an unemployed sheet metal worker, told Socialist Worker at the time, "The events of the last two days have shown a new awakening in the community.
"Even older blacks who in years gone by would have called what happened 'lawlessness' are proud of the way we fought."
The revolt united black and white people in the largest urban disorder since the Second World War. It shook the Tory government.
Prime minister Margaret Thatcher's assault on the poor left 13 percent of people in Brixton unemployed at the time of the riot. Joblessness in the borough had doubled in just one year. Young black people suffered most, with 55 percent out of work.
There are striking parallels between Britain in 1981 and today. The Tories have once again imposed savage cuts to council funding. Unemployment is up and wages are falling. And police brutality has not gone away. Hundreds have died in custody since 1981.
Police harassment increased tension in Brixton when they launched "Operation Swamp '81" in early April 1981. In just five days, police stopped and searched almost 950 people, arresting 150.
Police used the hated "sus" laws, which allowed them to search anyone they suspected of having committed a crime.
Black people made up just 6 percent of London's population in the late 1970s. But 44 percent of those arrested under sus were black.
Resistance in Brixton began after a young black man, Michael Bailey, was stabbed in a fight on Friday 10 April. He ran for help, but was bundled into a police car where he was held without medical attention.
A crowd of young people pushed past police and took Bailey from the car and into a black cab. Several police attempted to stop the cab on its journey to hospital.
A nurse who treated Bailey later called a radio station to say, "It was criminal that it took so long to get the boy to hospital. He nearly bled to death."
Police escalated their stop and search operation that night. Hundreds of people now gathered to resist them. More police vehicles appeared and were pelted with stones.
The following day Carlton, a 28-year old painter, was arrested after waving at a friend across the road. Officers threw him into the back of a van as another crowd gathered.
Police tried to force the crowd back—but people resisted. The streets erupted in anger. Over 1,000 police attacked the crowd. They were met with a barrage of bricks and Molotov cocktails.
Shops were looted and burned. Locals took control of a bus—which they drove through police lines.
Police officers, including the vicious Special Patrol Group riot squad, beat hundreds of young black and white people who dared to step outside their homes.
Police accused one young white man of stealing a jumper. Officers kicked him in the testicles and told him he was lucky not to be black. They also attacked a photographer for taking a photo of police as they chased a black man "for no apparent reason".
Police were seen to use weapons including a wooden club, a pick-axe handle and a flexible rubber cosh.
They raided a number of homes, trashing them, and beating and arresting occupants.
Local people set fire to cars and buildings to hold back police.
The police "restored order" by Sunday, using 7,000 officers. But new uprisings occurred around the country that summer (see box, above right).
The riots have often been made out to be black versus white. But as Independent Radio News journalist Scarlet MacGuire reported, "This wasn't a race riot. It was the community against the police."
Thatcher responded to the riots by saying, "Sometimes too much money doesn't solve these problems."
This ignored the impact of the Tories' cuts. Lambeth council had slashed £2.5 million from its budget, including £1.7 million from housing. This left 17,000 people looking for homes.
The riots were a united cry of anger against the government's assault on the poor. Brixton would erupt again with riots that summer, and again in 1985 and 1995.
That anger is growing again today.
Revolt spread round the country
St Pauls, Bristol
Police raid a black cafe and attempt to make an arrest. A crowd forces the police out. Around 2,000 locals, black and white, take to the streets.
Southall, London
Racist skinheads storm an Asian shop and beat up a woman on their way to a gig at the Hambrough Tavern. Hundreds of Asians break through police lines and burn down the pub.
Toxteth, Liverpool
Police attempt to arrest a young black man they falsely accuse of stealing a motorbike. A crowd free him. Huge riots broke out the next night and barricades are built.
8-11 July 1981
Moss Side, Manchester
Police shout abuse at a group of youths leaving a club. Petrol bombs are soon thrown at police lines and shops burnt down. Some 1,500 people attack a police station before burning and looting shops.
Dozens of smaller riots take place in inner city areas across Britain.

Batak hospital
The picture is a portrait of a midwife and nurses with two orphans at the hospital of the Batak Institute at Kabandjahe. In 1919 this hospital was initiated by Governor General van Limburg Stirum and subsidized by the government and the plantation organization. It took a few years, before the new hospital opened its doors in 1924. The outpatient clinic with the hospital treated some 900 patients a year. Many persons got preventive injections, e.g. to treat and prevent struma, a much diagnosed disease under the Karo Batak people. In the hospital about 3,000 patients were treated per year. Beside a department for internal diseases there was a large department for infectious diseases, such as typhoid fever and dysentery. De Government doctor O. Paneth is medical director, assisted by 10 European nurses and 20 indigenous nurses. There were large differences in salaries. Source: Verslag van het Batak hospitaal in1924 by O.Paneth (s.l. 1925) (CB:BR G 03-275) . The hospital was transferred to the Nederlands Zendingsgenootschap in May 1934 and was since then managed by this organization.
Kabandjahe was the main town of the subdepartment Karolanden, department Simeloengoen and the Karolanden, Government Eastcoast Sumatra. (Gonggryp 1934, 604).

We know. The mess in your house and the clutter in the garage do not spark joy. Yes, it's time to ditch it and feel the freedom of having less.
If you live in Dallas, you already know the drill. Just drag those bags of joyless junk to the sidewalk and wait for the city to perform a magical service fewer and fewer cities offer: sending a truck to haul it all away.
We are all for cleaning out the closets. But what we can't be for anymore is the city's costly bulk trash program.
This is going to hurt to say, but we've had it too good, Dallas.
According to the city's own figures, Dallas collects about 170,000 tons of bulk trash every year. Other major Texas cities simply do not do this because it is not affordable and sustainable.
Last year, Dallas spent $22 million on bulk-trash pickup, a service that ranks as more than a blip on the budget.
Most people don't abuse the privilege here. But a sizable percentage do, raising costs for everyone.
The city's new plan is still extremely generous. You can set out 20 cubic yards of bulk trash per month. What does that look like? Imagine filling the bed of a pickup with mulch so it's almost overflowing. Then multiply that 10 times. That is plenty of bulk trash for every household every month.
If that's not enough, residents would get a once-yearly exemption to the limits.
Dallas needs to get a better grip on how we manage waste. It's not only a matter of short-term cost, it's a matter of our landfill's long-term viability.
The city is wise to slowly implement changes. People love their bulk trash pickup here for good reason. But things need to change, and perhaps become more restrictive in time. Ultimately, the city should also consider separation of brush pickup, as council member Scott Griggs suggested this week.
As things stand, the proposed plan won't get a vote until at least May. We hope it isn't derailed in the political season to come.
Bulk pickup in Dallas is great for residents, but this is one joy we need to have a little less of.

I shouldn't really be a surfer. I sunburn too easily. Perhaps in the eyes of some people I'm not. I have stood up on and quickly fallen off surfboards in Bali, Ireland and Devon. In that order. Slowly getting less exotic and less impressive.
For a long time I thought Kely Slater was a woman.
But the way I see it, no matter how little you've surfed, if you have stood up on a board for even just few seconds, then you're a surfer. You can confidently wear boardshorts to barbeques and other summer functions, and strut around telling people you surf.
And I do occasionally do it, I enjoy it. I love the immense power of the waves, the battle against the elements, and the brief, occasional moments of joy as you and nature converse and you skim effortlessly across the water. And another thing I love is that it doesn't hurt when you fall off.
So its time to add another location to my list of surfs conquered for the barbeque. I have come to Pichilemu, on the coast of Chile about two hours south of Santiago. As the bus pulls into the town, things look good.
It's a bank holiday Monday, and the huge beach is packed. I see in the distance, surfers paddling out for waves. There's even one of those inflatable banana floats being dragged out to sea, children screaming with delight as they bob along behind the boat. Just like in Jaws, I chuckle.
Pichilemu, and nearby beach Punta De Lobos, is something of a surfing Mecca; a host of World Surfing Championships. In fact, there are signs up as I arrive, for the Ripcurl Masters. Maybe this is my chance to be welcomed into the surfing community? Out on the waves all day, bonfires on the beach, someone gets out a guitar.
It could belike Point Break without the bank robbery – but with the Richard Nixon masks.
When I check into my hostel though this dream begins to fade. It is listed as 'the place' to stay for surfers, and it has the posters and stickers on the wall to back this up. But the signing-in book looks suspiciously empty. There are no 'Chads', 'Brets' or other surfer aliases. Back out along the beach the bank holiday crowds have disappeared and the place now has the distinct sense of the run down seaside town.
Faded paintwork advertising for no longer existing attractions. Shops with their shutters down. I am always slightly unsettled by places like this. A few kids are racing each other in peddle powered frames that Fred Flintstone wouldn't be seen dead in.
The next day things are even quieter, but I'm over the initial discomfort, and I actually start to enjoy Pichilemu. Although the crowds may only come in summer, the one thing the place does offer, all year round, is great surf. And that is why I am here.
I discover I can hire a board and wetsuit for around £6, which sounds good to me. First I decide I need to get some sustenance. I learned one valuable lesson that day, which is never eat a pizza, or indeed, half a pizza before surfing.
I repeatedly fail to hoist my bloated frame onto the board. I feel like an eight-year-old trying to get served at a bar. I spend the next couple of hours bobbing around in the water desperately trying to digest my lunch, but it's to no avail. I head in, and walk back to my hostel, followed home by four boisterous stray dogs.
At first I figure they can probably just sense I am an animal lover. Then I realise that they can just smell the leftover pizza stashed in my bag. I break into a jog. So do they. I run a bit harder. So do they. Eventually they appear to encroach on another dog's turf and reluctantly stop their pursuit.
The next day I eat much earlier, and when I get out on the water I instantly feel a lot lighter. I venture out to where the waves are bigger and even manage to catch a couple for a few seconds. After a short time I look up and notice I'm a way from the shore.
The vision of the banana boat flashes through my mind. My eyes focus on the shape, which looks at me quizzically before ducking back into the water. Just a seal. A stupid seal. I breathe a sigh of relief. Thank God. But wait. Don't sharks hunt seals? I paddle in to shore slowly trying to look as little like a seal as possible.
I think it's time for a few beers. I now have my first shark story.
The Chilean beer is called Cristal. I doubt it's the same stuff P Diddy drinks, but after a couple of those I head back out to the waves and am on pretty good form. I catch a couple of good waves and even try carving in and out. The beers have gone through me quickly giving me both inflated confidence and an inflated bladder.
But I'm out on the open waves. I'm in touch with nature!
It is not until later, while I'm getting changed back at the surf hut, I learn another important lesson. Stepping out of the rubber, I can smell the distinctive smell of urine. Wetsuits, it turns out, are as effective at keeping liquids in, as they are out.
Meekly I hand my distinctly fragranced suit to the rental shop owner. He looks at me and shouts something in Spanish to his five-year-old son. My Spanish is still not great, but I imagine it is something like 'Come and wash this urine scented suit immediately', because the boy grabs it and takes it to a sink to wash.
I walk home feeling a mixture of pride and guilt. It seems the stray dogs are less willing to follow me home tonight.

"Effects of Yoga on Arm Volume among Women with Breast Cancer Related L" by Mary Insana Fisher, Betsy Donahoe-Fillmore et al.
Lymphedema affects 3–58% of survivors of breast cancer and can result in upper extremity impairments. Exercise can be beneficial in managing lymphedema. Yoga practice has been minimally studied for its effects on breast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of yoga on arm volume, quality of life (QOL), self-reported arm function, and hand grip strength in women with BCRL. Six women with BCRL participated in modified Hatha yoga 3×/week for 8 weeks. Compression sleeves were worn during yoga sessions. Arm volume, QOL, self-reported arm function, and hand grip strength were measured at baseline, half-way, and at the conclusion of yoga practice. Arm volume significantly decreased from baseline (2423.3 ml ± 597.2) to final measures (2370.8 ml ± 577.2) (p = .02). No significant changes in QOL (p = .12), self-reported arm function (p = .34), or hand grip strength (p = .26) were found. Yoga may be beneficial in the management of lymphedema.

Dr. Richard J. Stuart Blog: What if My Product Isn't ADA-Approved?
The American Dentistry Association seal of approval is awarded to consumer oral hygiene products that meet ADA-defined standards. The seal is intended to help consumers make informed choices about the products they use.
Products that are ADA-approved have undergone extensive testing for safety and efficacy, to ensure that any claims made about them are factually correct. Companies that submit products for assessment have to submit ingredient lists and data from laboratory studies and clinical trials that support the product claims, and show that the product is being made using good manufacturing practices. Each product is assessed by around 100 consultants, from a variety of scientific disciplines relevant to oral health and hygiene. Once a product has been approved, the packaging is required to display the ADA seal.
So is it okay to use products that are not ADA-approved? If a product hasn't been approved, that doesn't automatically mean it's unsafe or ineffective—but using ADA-approved products takes the guesswork out of choosing and using effective products. For example, if an ADA-approved toothpaste claims to be effective at preventing tooth decay, the presence of the seal means you can be sure it's a valid claim. Many Crest, Aim, Listerine and Tom products are ADA approved, just to name a few.

The Planets in December 2021
Planetary viewing is still poor, but for those observers that are up for the challenge of looking for planets low on the horizon or close to the Sun, here are some details of what to expect:
– Mercury becomes visible shortly after sunset on the last few days of December, but will remain within a few degrees of the southwestern horizon. Nonetheless, during the few minutes that the planet will be visible, it will be seen shining at about magnitude -0.73 just below Venus.
– Venus starts the month shining at magnitude -4.87 and with an angular diameter of about 39 seconds of arc, but will remain below around 8 degrees above the south-southwestern horizon. Since the ecliptic is now at a very shallow angle relative to the horizon, Venus will not rise above about 10 degrees during the month.
– Mars is now visible as a pre-dawn object, shining at magnitude 1.64 at the start of the month. It will be visible from about 06:41 GMT at the start of the month, and from about 07:00 GMT during the last half of the month. This does not leave much time for observing the planet before the Sun rises, so be sure not to use binoculars to observe Mars after the Sun has risen.
– Jupiter rises just after darkness falls at the start of December, and it will shine at magnitude -2.29 when it crosses the meridian at 17:15 GMT. Note though, that the 'King of the Planets' has now risen somewhat from the southern part of the ecliptic, and it will reach an elevation of about 24 degrees at its culmination. Sadly, though, by month's end, its brightness will have reduced somewhat to magnitude -2.13, and its angular diameter will have shrunk from 38.3 seconds of arc to 35.36 seconds of arc.
– Saturn rises a few minutes before Jupiter, and although it will shine relatively brightly at magnitude +0.7 when darkness falls, the planet will remain below about 17 degrees above the southern horizon. As a result, it may be difficult to obtain clear views of the planet through the atmospheric murk and haze.
-Uranus is easy to spot with binoculars throughout the month, and from a very dark site, it might even be possible to spot the planet without optical aid. If, however, you have access to a medium-sized telescope, you might even be able to discern its turquoise color. Look for the planet in Aries close to the border with Cetus where it will shine at magnitude 5.7 for most of December.
Meteor Showers in December 2021
December sees two meteor showers, these being:
– The Geminids Meteor Shower, which is expected to peak on the night of the 13th / 14th of December this year, is considered by most observers to be the most productive shower in the entire sky. In fact, at its peak, it typically produces around 120 large, multi-colored meteors that are fragments left behind by the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. Sadly, though, the waxing gibbous Moon will extinguish most of the fainter meteors, but this shower is so productive that a few dozen bright meteors will still be visible per hour during the peak hours. Note while the radiant of the shower is in the constellation Gemini, Geminids can appear from almost any point in the sky.
– The Ursids Meteor Shower will peak on the night of 21st / 22nd December, but it rarely produces more than about 10 or so meteors per hour at its peak- even in its most productive years. Moreover, this year, the Moon will be nearly full during the peak, meaning that you can expect to see no more than about three or four bright meteors per hour, which is about equal to the normal background meteor activity at this time of the year.
Deep Sky Objects to Look for in December 2021
Some of the prominent constellations at this time of the year include Perseus, Taurus, Orion, Gemini, Cygnus, Cassiopeia, and Andromeda, which contains the Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest and biggest neighbor in the Local Group of Galaxies. Collectively, these constellations contain a large number of objects that are easy targets for modest amateur observing equipment, so provided seeing conditions allow, you might want to see if you can spot the few objects we have listed here-
The Hyades and Pleiades
Both are located in the constellation Taurus, with the Hyades cluster seen to the lower left, and the Pleiades to the upper right. The Pleiades cluster contains more than 3,000 stars that are both similar in composition and share a similar motion across the sky, which suggests a common origin for all the stars in the cluster.
Double Cluster
Both clusters, designated NGC 869 and NGC 884, are located in the constellation Perseus, and are surrounded by a single, but extensive outer halo of stars. Both clusters and the halo weigh in at an estimated combined mass of about 20,000 solar masses, and are approaching Earth at speeds of 39 km/s and 38 km/s, respectively.
The two clusters are visible as a patch of light without optical aid, which likely explains their very long observational history. For instance, the ancient Greek astronomer first listed the pair of clusters in about 130 BCE, while the ancient Arabian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi listed them in his Book of Fixed Stars in about the year 964 AD.
The Orion Nebula is a large star-forming region in Orion. Most optical images will show it as a shade of reddish-brown, which is about the closest possible approximation of the nebula's true color. However, to most observers, the Orion Nebula has a greenish-tint, since human vision is more sensitive to the green light emitted by ionized oxygen in the nebula than to the reddish light emitted by hydrogen atoms.


The RF-container needs a secure and stable location. This means that it has to be level, not subject to excessive snow drifts and allowing easy transfer of the signal cables from the array and into the input section of the 'container foyer'.
As it turns out, on the corners of the contain should be in contact with the ground — not the base as a whole. In fact, the corners themselves are not in direct contact, but are on raised rubber blocks.
These in turn can't be on the ground either, as they would sink into the soil.
So, at each end of the container, there will be a large concrete block. The first of these has now arrived on the site and will await the other block and then the RF-container itself before being put in place.
The photograph shows the trailer with the block, which is 3 metres long. Shortly after, we used the 18-tonne digger to lift it out and put it to one side.
