The bed has been removed from the hotel room in London's Soho where rising British film star Tom Hardy and I are to meet, leaving a vast carpeted brawling area. We could, I think as I await his arrival, mix it up like Oliver Reed and Alan Bates did in Women in Love, or as Hardy and his screen brother Joel Edgerton do in his unremittingly butch new film, Warrior, about mixed martial-arts (MMA) fighting.
Hardy jogs into the room flanked by minders as if he's entering a boxing arena. He settles on the sofa and pours coffee.
For the next hour he writhes and giggles as he chats about his career prospects.
Surely this makes his dad sound like a mortar board-sporting ponce, rather than what he was—the esteemed writer of gags for comedian Dave Allen?
With his machine-gun verbosity, rococo vocabulary and the non-remote possibility that he could turn at any moment and chuck me out of the window, he is an appealingly odd interviewee. He pronounces "bagarre" with an exaggeratedly angry French accent. Then he repeats it.
Excellent, but there's another point. The idea he's not familiar with alpha-male bagarre stuff is barmy. Let's review. After graduating from Richmond Drama School and the Drama Centre London, Hardy got a role in the World War II miniseries Band of Brothers and in 2001 made his film debut in Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down, neither a paean to non-violence. He was the violent Dickensian hoodlum Bill Sikes in the 2007 Oliver Twist miniseries. He played Handsome Bob in Guy Ritchie's 2008 film RocknRolla.
He played a notoriously violent prisoner in Bronson in 2009, winning best actor at the British Independent Film Awards for the role.
He played Heathcliff in the 2009 miniseries of Wuthering Heights. He played a London gangster in a miniseries called The Take.
True, he did play a relatively weedy homeless alcoholic in the 2007 TV adaptation of Stuart: A Life Lived Backwards, but that's the exception that proves the rule. He's currently filming Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, in which he plays stupendously muscled and unpleasantly brutish super-villain Bane. So why the CV teeming with thugs?
There's a lot of conflict in Warrior, in which the public school-educated Englishman is cast as a troubled Pittsburgh-based Irish-American bruiser. Hardy is a surly, almost non-verbal wounded beast of an ex-GI and ex-wrestler who returns to the ring to express himself in the only way he knows.
What does he mean? To look like a cage-fighter he had to eschew carbohydrates and eat chicken and broccoli incessantly. That wasn't all.
Hardy's Warrior regimen put on 13kg of muscle. What interests him, though, is not the fighting style per se but its spiritual dimension.
Let's not go nuts about Warrior's spiritual dimension. It's mostly blokes tearing lumps out of each other in a cage encircled by people screaming for blood and/or death.
He giggles wildly. No more caffeine for you, laughing boy.
"Funnily enough, for a film about MMA, Warrior scored very highly with people who don't care about fighting," he says.
I tell him that at the screening I attended there were lots of women whooping during the fight sequences and weeping in the poignant ones. There is a subtheme of alchoholism and abuse: Did that resonate for him because he was a drunk and a drug addict? Hardy collapsed in Soho after a crack binge in 2003.
He's eight years clean. What did playing opposite a recovering alcoholic, Nick Nolte (who plays his father, Paddy, in the film), mean to him?
So how can you be responsible?
I look at Hardy's chest, thinking that it's a shame he's wearing a long-sleeved top. Otherwise we could spend the rest of our allotted time reading his tattoos—which seem to form an encyclopedia of his private life. His 1999-2004 marriage to Sarah Ward is commemorated by the tattoo "Till I die SW" and a dragon on his left arm. Below it are the words "figlio mio bellissimo", commemorating his son Louis's birth three years ago with ex-girlfriend Rachel Speed. On his back is the word "Charlotte", marking his relationship with Charlotte Riley, whom he met on the set of Wuthering Heights. There are many others, but Hardy isn't going to talk me through them today.
Instead, he wants to discuss his career. Warrior may be the film that breaks him in the United States.
He has also wrapped another clutch of films, including This Means War, in which he plays a CIA agent. He will also be seen in the film adaptation of John Le Carré's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, where, according to Xan Brooks's Guardian review, Hardy "raises the roof as Ricki Tarr, the tale's bullish rogue element".


We like a bit of cult, and Letoon happens to be the sacred cult center of ancient Lycia. That and its proximity to sister-site Xanthos was enough reason to check it out. If you Google pictures from Letoon, you will find it looks romantic, with many of the pillars and monuments arising from water. It gives the site an unusual appeal while making excavations and visits difficult at certain times of the year. Still, the Museum Directorate went to considerate efforts to make Letoon more accessible in all seasons with newly constructed paths.
The Porticoes are probably the most photographed part of Letoon. We'll have to admit; they are quite distinct. They look a bit out of this world, surrounded by water and home to plenty of terrapins making the most of the sun.
As a cult center, Letoon has three temples standing right next to each other. One is dedicated to Leto and has beautiful pillars in front of it. The one in the middle is devoted to Artemis, and the last one, with the stunning mosaic, is for Apollo. The French team of archaeologists responsible for the excavations at Letoon is doing a great job recreating what has been destroyed over time. Their eye for detail is also displayed in their choice for the information boards, which are made out of the same stone as the monuments, with carefully hand-carved inscriptions.
The temples are in the center of the site and require a bit of an effort to imagine what they must have looked like when still in their full glory.
Past the temples, you will find the Nymphaeum and the Basilica. The water is filled with frogs and terrapins and legend has it they are shepherds that are the victims of Leto's vengeance. Moral of the story: better not mess with Leto!  During the Roman period following the Hellenistic period, a semi-circular pool was added of which the remains are plainly visible.
Letoon is a small site, but with lots of pretty details. If you're only in the area for a very short period of time, you may want to consider visiting a somewhat larger site than this one. On the other hand, it is a convenient stop with good walkable paths and people combine it with neighboring site Xanthos to have a more comprehensive experience. Like Xanthos, Letoon is surrounded by roads and greenhouses, which requires a bigger effort from you as a visitor to actually get that feeling of ancient times.
Letoon is situated in the village of Kumluova, just off the D400 connecting Fethiye to Kalkan. Access to the site is well way-marked. There is an entrance fee to be paid. It is common to visit Xanthos together with Letoon, it's so-called sister-site only 5km further up the Eşen Çayı river in Kınık. Please note that a ticket to one site does not give you access to the other. Read what other travelers have to say about it on TripAdvisor.
Xanthos is about 30 minutes by car from Kalkan, so staying at Villa Rudi in authentic Islamlar is a great option. We loved every minute of our stay!

Russell the first generation Lazair was quite different than even your Series I. Take a look. Looks like Dale pushing ! There may have been other early prototype configurations that I'm not aware of also.
The phase two prototypes incorporated a "bicycle" bananna seat and if you look closely cables run internally to the ailerons. This design is very close to the layout of your Series I. That's Peter Corley !
Look at the rapid evolution. Tail skids, painted D-cell, fabric , and/or Dacron. Even has stripes for decoration.
i had the same sling seat model and put a bigger tank in it was a little tail heavy but i adjusted some of it out with the control rod ends at the ruddervators. not all of it i did not want it going the other way with an empty tank. same deal when it got pranged by Murray, it was rebuilt the same as Shannons with the 'tundra' kit. and the tank bracket was moved forward a bit and brougt the cg back to were it was with 5ltr tank. with the sling seat heavier pilots said it seemed more aft for them with full 10lts fuel. i was (still am )pretty light 50/55kg.
The evolution continued with the Series II's. This is an early II without the ruddervator control coupler.
Second generation Series II with control coupler. Later models still could be outfitted with the toe operated disc brakes.
Early prototype Series III. Note lack of aileron pushrods running up wing struts and single blade ground adjustable props. Dave Herron owned this plane.
Early production Series III. Small ruddervator pushrods.
you missed the awesome line in russel's letter from ultra flight. the plane can be "foot launched or you can use wheels". foot launching is the primary method!
i've never seen a pic of an early lazair with the engines near the struts, that is way too cool of a pic to keep to your chest for so long shannon - what other gems are in that collection!!!!!!!!!!!

just some thoughts about software and other things I like
Spatially Modeling Group Dates
This has been recently updated (March 2nd, 2014), originally posted on November 29th, 2013.
There are a few sites growing in popularity in the market of brokering a group date between three guys and three ladies.
This is a concept on how to represent relationship data between six people divided into two separate groups with the least amount of input.
Each individual is presented with a triangle shape, and a singular marker which can be placed in the triangle.
The rules are simple, place your marker nearest to the person you want to go home with.
The vertices of the triangle represent each individual in the other group of the opposite sex. Over the course of the group date, they are asked to place (or move) their marker somewhere on the inside area of the triangle.
The marker's relative distance from each of the icons represents the individual's interest level in each members of the opposite group.
For example, I've chosen the marker placement of two individuals, Mike and Sarah. This is represented as bias in our model. Mike placed his marker nearest to Sarah, and Sarah (with greater bias) also placed her marker nearest to Mike. These two data points would represent a mutual match, and is the most ideal scenario as it's the easiest to determine a mutual level of interest.
With this information we know these two individuals are interested in each other. More so, we know that this is a mutual and exclusive match because none of the other individuals have placed their markers as near to Mike and Sarah as they did with each other.
The following is Mike and Sarah's markers on the same coordinate system, the dashed lines represents a threshold for the bias towards each individual.
Modeling the entire group
I've represented the area of interest by each group as the vertices of each of their placed markers. This allows us to visualize a different dimension of data for free, where the inner triangle's area represents the groups TOTAL unique selection amongst themselves. The larger the area the more it can be interpreted as the most harmonious group-wise because each individual is exclusively interested in a different individual in the group of the opposite sex.
This data can be modeled with geometry as a time series, where the volume of the shape would again be representing the data in the figure above (Interest by group), however, over time (z-wise in our case). Imagine if the individuals were prompted to place the maker 3 times over the course of the evening. If you were to take the difference of both 3d volumes you could assumably have the total level of mutual interest in both groups. Potentially a measure for a successful experience in my opinion.
The last chart assumes you've been able to poll each individual via a mobile app or something, if that was the case you can potentially chart the velocity of their marker movements as indicators for intent, or as spikes of interest. This could yield something like a vector field, where the most interesting girls and guys would have the vectors pointing towards them. Maybe if the girl in question is a mega-babe, the guys would have moved the marker towards her really fast!?
Notes and issues
Bias is negative because we are charting positive interest with distance and I didn't want to invert any of the other math.
It's also important to note that a marker placed or left in the center has a smaller coefficient for the bias. This would represent that the individual either has the same level of interest in all the other individuals, and does NOT represent amount of interest, this could be erroneous data unless input is required by the individual…? Not sure.
When making 1-to-1 comparisons, different comparisons can be made by transposing the coordinate system. This is done by reflecting the triangle x-wise along it's z-axis and bound by the top most vertex.
In the group based examples the location of the individual in their respective triangle is important, and shouldn't be individually transposed for comparison purposes.

Man who died in Longford street was airport chauffeur
Chauffeur had been waiting to make pickup at Heathrow Airport when he collapsed
Alan Hayes
The man found collapsed in a Longford street on Sunday evening had been due to make a pick-up at Heathrow Airport.
When he failed to turn up his wife alerted police. They had independently been called to Bays Farm Court in the village, close to the airport perimeter, at 8.15pm, to reports of a man either collapsed in the street or in his vehicle; details are still unclear.
Paramedics worked on Paul Facer, who was from Hampshire, for several minutes before he was pronounced dead at 8.37pm.
The road was reopened at 10.15pm.
Police have said there are no suspicious circumstances. The West London coroner's office has yet to formally name the dead man, but his next of kin have been informed.
Mr Facer, whose age has not been confirmed but was believed to be in his 60s, worked for a car service in Wellington, Hants, according to police.
Roads in the Heathrow Villages are popular with such chauffeurs waiting to make pickups at the airport, where parking is strictly controlled.

Pelini evaluating home routine
By John Henderson
Auburn, BCS, Big 12, Big 12 Conference, Bo Pelini, Colorado, CU, Dan Hawkins, Football, Green Bay, Green Bay Packers, Hawkins, injury, Iowa, Iowa State, Jerrod Johnson, Jordan Webb, Kansas, Louisville, Mack Brown, Mike Gundy, Mike Sherman, Missouri, Nebraska, NIT, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Paul Rhoads, prep, Rankings, Running, SEC, South Dakota, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Tommy Tuberville, Turner Gill, USC, Utah
Nebraska coach Bo Pelini is evaluating everything his program does on weekends of home games. The Cornhuskers' 20-13 loss to Texas Saturday was not an aberration. Pelini's teams have played some of their worst games at home, such as this year's 17-3 win over FCS South Dakota State and last year's 9-7 loss to Iowa State following a 31-10 loss to Texas Tech.
"I honestly think there's less distraction on the road," Pelini said on Monday's Big 12 Conference call. "We're trying to think outside the box a little bit, maybe handling home games a little bit differently, trying to eliminate as much distraction as we can. If you look at the last couple of years, last year in particular, the games we aren't like ourself, that has crept up a lot more at home than it has on the road."
In other highlights of the conference call:
* Texas coach Mack Brown revealed his secret in stopping Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez. Among the nation's leaders in total offense and rushing going into the game, Martinez had only 21 yards on 13 carries and was only 4-of-12 passing for 63 yards.
"We put tremendous pressure on our secondary by playing a lot of man coverage and using the nine as much as we could to stop the running game because it's so good," Brown said. "And also (defensive coordinator) Will Muschamp grew up with the option and that's one thing you do in the South, the Southeastern Conference. You use power football and option. And we run some option here so we felt like at least we would know that."
* Kansas coach Turner Gill is contemplating a change at quarterback. The 2-4 Jayhawks are last in the Big 12 in scoring (17.17 points per game) and 11th in total offense (331.5 yards per game). Quarterback Jordan Webb is 11th in total offense (175.17). Kale Pick may get a shot this week against Texas A&M if he recovers from the leg injury that knocked him out the last two weeks.
"We haven't made a decision, but it'll definitely be discussed," Gill said.
Gill will reunite with A&M coach Mike Sherman, whom he worked for with the Green Bay Packers in 2005.
* Mike Gundy isn't terribly surprised his Oklahoma State Cowboys are doing better than anyone expected. Then again, most prognosticators picked them for last in the South Division. But 6-0 and 14th in the BCS rankings? That's something different.
"I was fairly confident the new players could compete for us," Gundy said. "They'd been in practices, on the bus, been on airplanes, been on football teams that have won a lot of football games the last three years."
* Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville knows what embattled Colorado coach Dan Hawkins is going through. Auburn nearly fired Tuberville in 2003 until the athletic director's plot to hire Louisville's Bobby Petrino backfired. When the pressure returned in 2008, Tuberville had enough and quit.
He didn't have any advice for Hawkins, however.
"Everybody has their own ways that they coach," Tuberville said. "Dan's won a lot of games in his life. We are all under pressure. You just go out and coach the best you can. He doesn't need any advice form me, either. His teams play hard and that's the only thing you can ask each week. Get your guys to play hard and have fun. He'll win his share."
* Iowa State is 3-4 but it has arguably played the toughest schedule in the country. It has already played three teams ranked in the BCS in Iowa (No. 15), Utah (No. 9) and Oklahoma (No. 1). It next visits No. 19 Texas Saturday, gets No. 16 Nebraska Nov. 6 and finishes with No. 11 Missouri Nov. 20.
"We can't get away from playing it," coach Paul Rhoads said. "We're going to keep preparing and improving and try to find a way to win a game or two down the stretch. Kids 18, 19, 20 years old are certainly more resilient than coaches. We probably take it a little more personal."
* Sherman downplayed reports he's considering a quarterback change at A&M but admits backup Ryan Tannehill, also a backup wide receiver, will get more reps this week.
Jerrod Johnson averages 301.3 yards passing per game but he has nine interceptions to 14 TD passes and his efficiency rating of 125.9 is ninth in the Big 12.
"We have open competition every single week and this is no excedption," Sherman said. "I believe in J.J. He's a leader on our team and is averageing 300 yards a game. I trust him. I have confidence in him and I believe in him."

Dr Rife Treatment of 16 People with Terminal Cancer
Dr Rife JOURNAL |
The full story of the cancer clinic of 1934 may never be known. Rife's records were lost when he foolishly loaned them to Dr. Arthur Yale a few years later. Yale had started his own clinic and apparently wanted to compare notes. After Rife learned that Dr. Yale was altering the Royal Rife Machine and thus failing to get results, Rife and Yale had an argument which marked a permanent separation. More disturbing is that after AMA pressure forced a law suit against the production company making the Royal Rife Machines, many of the doctors who were involved became exceedingly cautious. And after Milbank Johnson's death, the records at the University of Southern California "mysteriously disappeared."
Pieces of evidence do exist and while the clinical records are gone, there is sufficient documentation to know that astounding results did take place and that the Special Medical Research Committee did continue to exist. The listings under the name of Milbank Johnson in Who's Who for 1944-45 (Johnson died October 3, 1944) include: "Professor physiology and clinical medicine, University of Southern California 1897-1901, now Chairman special medical research committee of the university."
Until Johnson's death in 1944, he was still actively the head of the committee. For 10 years from its creation in 1934, Johnson's University of Southern California Medical Research Committee was in existence. Given the fact that testimonials exist describing what occurred and that Johnson ran his own clinic from 1935 to 1938, there is no reason to believe-as later was implied by the AMA and the California State Public Health agency-that the existence of a successful cancer treatment in 1934 using the Royal Rife Machine was a myth. Documents show the clinic existed and succeeded in curing cancer. And doctors who continued treating seriously ill people with success because of what the Royal Rife Machine accomplished in 1934 tell the real story, as do the signed reports from cured cancer patients in later years.
Dr Johnson eventually handed his authority over to Dr. James Couche of San Diego. Couche was not a heavyweight in California medical circles as was Johnson. It was a poor choice if the goal was to move the medical profession toward acceptance and widespread use of Rife's new healing technology. The result was total failure. But Couche was the right choice if the standard was to choose a man who would not quit or knuckle under to the AMA. Couche used the Royal Rife Machine for 22 years and reported for the record-if only briefly-on his continued success with a Royal Rife Machine that stayed calibrated as Rife insisted it had to be if it was to destroy the pathologic micro-organisms in people. But all that lay ahead.
In the summer of 1934, 16 terminally ill people with cancer and other diseases were brought to the Scripps "ranch." There, as Rife and the doctors worked on human beings for the first time, they learned much. The early patients were exposed to the Royal Rife Machine frequencies for only 3 minutes, but Rife soon learned that if a treatment was given every day, the toxins from the dead micro-organisms accumulated faster than the body could dispose of them. When he switched to a treatment of 3 minutes every 3rd day, the patients began healing swiftly.
In 1953 when Rife copyrighted his book, he made the real report of what happened in 1934. Anyone who has examined his life, his patience, his scientific commitment, and the correctness of his filtration studies (which are now being verified by bacteriologists who never heard his name) must consider that his own scientific report of the 1934 cancer clinic carries some weight. He wrote: "With the Royal Rife Machine treatment, no tissue is destroyed, no pain is felt, no noise is audible, and no sensation is noticed. A tube lights up and 3 minutes later the treatment is completed. The virus or bacteria is destroyed and the body then recovers itself naturally from the toxic effect of the virus or bacteria. Several diseases may be treated simultaneously.
"The first clinical work on cancer was completed under the supervision of Milbank Johnson, M.D. which was set up under a Special Medical Research Committee of the University of Southern California. 16 cases were treated at the clinic for many types of malignancy. After 3 months, 14 of these so called hopeless cases were signed off as clinically cured by the staff of five medical doctors and Dr. Alvin G. Foord, M.D. Pathologist for the group. The treatments consisted of 3 minutes duration using the Royal Rife Machine which was set on the mortal oscillatory rate for 'BX' or cancer (at 3 day intervals). It was found that the elapsed time between treatments attains better results than the cases treated daily. This gives the lymphatic system an opportunity to absorb and cast off the toxic condition which is produced by the devitalized dead particles of the 'BX' virus. No rise of body temperature was perceptible in any of these cases above normal during or after the Royal Rife Machine treatment. No special diets were used in any of this clinical work, but we sincerely believe that a proper diet compiled for the individual would be of benefit." Date: December 1, 1953 Written by R. R. Rife
Other members of the clinic were Whalen Morrison, Chief Surgeon of the Santa Fe Railway, George C. Dock, M.D., internationally famous, George C. Fischer, M.D., Children's Hospital in New York, Arthur I. Kendall, Dr. Zite, M.D., professor of pathology at Chicago University, Rufus B. Von Klein Schmidt, President of the University of Southern California. Dr. Couche and Dr. Carl Meyer, Ph.D., head of the Department of Bacteriological Research at the Hooper Foundation in San Francisco were also present. Dr. Kopps of the Metabolic Clinic in La Jolla signed all 14 reports and knew of all the tests from his personal observation.
A week after the clinic ended, Kendall wrote to Mrs. Bridges, wife of Rife's original sponsor: "This afternoon (December 20, 1934) 1 have a meeting with Mr. Hardin. President of the Board of Trustees of the University; he is much interested in Roy and his splendid work, and I shall be asked to tell what I saw during my very brief visit to California. Mr. Hardin, unlike many persons, is very friendly, and will take the proper view of the work: that it is experimental so far, done with no rules of the game to go by, and with a machine that is designed for small output, and therefore, not capable of showing its full worth. I understand there is to be a new machine, embodying the facts learned from the old one, and built along more lusty lines so its output will be more nearly equal to the demands which should be put upon it. I have written to Dr. Johnson telling him about the one case I can talk intelligently about: Tom Knight. Roy will tell you about Tom: he seems to me to be the most important case of the entire series because his tumor was on the cheek, where it could be seen, watched and measured from the start to the finish. This I have done, reciting the actual measurements, and details of treatment and of pathological examination."
One year later on December 18, 1935, Milbank Johnson wrote to Dr. Thomas Burger and Dr. C. Ray Launsbeny of San Diego: "This will introduce to you Mr. Thomas Knight. He was the man who had the carcinoma over the malar bone of his left cheek that we treated at the clinic in La Jolla last year." In 1956, Dr. James Couche made the following declaration: "I would like to make this historical record of the amazing scientific wonders regarding the efficacy of the frequencies of the Royal R. Rife Machine. . . . "When I was told about Dr. Rife and his Royal Rife Machine at the Ellen Scripps home near the Scripps Institute Annex some twenty-two years ago, I went out to see about it and became very interested in the cases which he had there. And the thing that brought me into it more quickly than anything was a man who had a cancer of the stomach. Rife was associated at that time with Dr. Milbank Johnson, M.D., who was then president of the Medical Association of Los Angeles, a very wealthy man and a very big man in the medical world the biggest in Los Angeles and he had hired this annex for this demonstration over a summer of time.
Dr. James Couche continues; "In that period of time I saw many things and the one that impressed me the most was a man who staggered onto a table, just on the last end of cancer; he was a bag of bones. As he lay on the table, Dr. Rife and Dr. Johnson said, 'Just feel that man's stomach.' So I put my hand on the cavity where his stomach was underneath and it was just a cavity almost, because he was so thin; his backbone and his belly were just about touching each other. "I put my hand on his stomach which was just one solid mass, just about what I could cover with my hand, somewhat like the shape of a heart. It was absolutely solid! And I thought to myself, well, nothing can be done for that. However, they gave him a treatment with the Rife frequencies and in the course of time over a period of six weeks to two months, to my astonishment, he completely recovered. He got so well that he asked permission to go to El Centro as he had a farm there and he wanted to see about his stock."
Dr. Rife said, 'Now you haven't the strength to drive to El Centro.' 'Oh, yes' said he. 'I have, but I'll have a man to drive me there.' As a matter of fact, the patient drove his own car there and when he got down to El Centro he had a sick cow and he stayed up all night with it. The next day he drove back without any rest whatsoever – so you can imagine how he had recovered. "I saw other cases that were very interesting. Then I wanted a copy of the Royal Rife Machine. I finally bought one of these Royal Rife Machines and established it in my office. "I saw some very remarkable things resulting from it in the course of over twenty years. "I had a Mexican boy, nine years of age, who had osteomyelitis of the leg. He was treated at the Mercy Hospital by his attending doctors. They scraped the bone every week. It was agonizing to the child because they never gave him anything; they just poked in there and cleaned him out and the terror of that boy was awful. He wore a splint and was on crutches. His family brought him to the office. He was terrified that I would poke him as the other doctors had done. 1 reassured him and demonstrated the instrument on my own hand to show him that it would not hurt. With the bandage and splint still on he was given a treatment. In less than two weeks of treatment the wound was completely healed and he took off his splints and threw them away. He is a great big powerful man now and has never had any comeback of his osteomyelitis. He was completely cured. There were many cases such as this."
In December 1935, Dr. Johnson wrote a confidential letter to Dr. Mildred Schram, Secretary of the International Cancer Research Foundation in Philadelphia. In that letter, Johnson explained why the records of the 1934 cancer clinic were sketchy: "The clinic was opened and run by me to satisfy me personally whether the Royal Rife Machine would destroy pathogenic organisms in vivo as well as in vitro. The latter we had repeatedly demonstrated in the laboratory. I had to have this information conclusively positive before I could recommend to my friends to get in behind the work to carry it to a logical conclusion. Having no nurses or secretaries in La Jolla, the records, while truthful, are more or less fragmentary and not kept for careful scrutiny by brother scientists. As I told you, when I started this work I intended to finance it through to the end. The only assistance that I expected to get was such cooperation as I might receive from other physicians in working with the Microscope and the Royal Rife Machine. "Now that we have to convince a whole lot of other men from cold turkey, we shall have to turn over a new leaf and do our work subject to inspection by others."
So the success story of 1934, while true as attested by Rife's written record, Couche's story of the incredible recovery by the farmer, and Kendall-Johnson's correspondence on the man with the neck tumor, also was unsatisfactory in terms of providing documented medical reports for other scientists. The 1934 clinic was a first, tentative, experimental step. They learned that treatment was best given every third day. They realized that they would have to keep better records. They recognized that the Royal Rife Machine would have to be improved. But they did cure cancer. And when it is realized how quickly radiation therapy was financed and the machines put into hospitals (with such meagre results), the tragedy of not being able to finance mass production of Royal Rife Machine's can be appreciated in its full horror. If Milbank Johnson was wracked by the thought of tens of thousands suffering in the 1930s, he'd be staggered by the 460,000 Americans now dying every year and the 90,000 Americans every year who learn that they have cancer. An he'd be broken by the sight of "treatment" with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. As Rife had shown, the cancer BX changed form. If all its forms weren't destroyed, the cancer micro-organism could find another environment in a weakened body and start anew. The tragic legacy of the Bechamp failure with Pasteur and the Rife-Kendall failure with Rivers would come back to haunt humanity with a grim vengeance.

Structural and Cholesterol Binding Properties of the Amyloid Precursor Protein C-Terminal Fragment C99 and the Etiology of Alzheimer's Disease
Barrett, Paul John
Biochemistry Structural and Cholesterol Binding Properties of the Amyloid Precursor Protein C-Terminal Fragment C99 and the Etiology of Alzheimer's Disease Paul John Barrett Dissertation under the direction of Professor Charles Sanders Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a severe form of dementia that currently affects nearly 40 million people worldwide, a number that is estimated to increase by the year 2050 to nearly 120 million. The production and oligomerization of the amyloid beta polypeptides (Aβ) is widely thought to play a central role in AD onset and progression. Aβ oligomers are neurotoxic, such that factors that increase Aβ production and propensity to oligomerize or that reduce its degradation and transport out of the brain are viewed as pro-AD risk factors. Recently, it has been established that cholesterol may be a pro-AD risk factor, but this mechanism is still highly controversial. Aβ polypeptides are derived from two step proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the enzymes β- and γ-secretase. This thesis will investigate both how the structure of C99 and the ability of C99 to bind cholesterol regulate and promote these cleavage events. First, this thesis will focus on the three dimensional structure determination of C99 using NMR spectroscopy. Prior to this work, much had been inferred about how the structure of C99 regulated the cleavage events of the amyloidogenic pathway, but without an actual structure, this work was incomplete. I demonstrate that C99 contains a membrane embedded helical turn N-terminal of the transmembrane helix, and that the transmembrane helix is both highly curved and flexible in nature. We hypothesize from this work that the curved structure of the transmembrane helix allows for proper insertion in the γ-secretase complex, and may be a potential target for modulating Aβ production. Secondly, this thesis will focus on the mechanism that makes cholesterol a pro-AD risk factor. We have shown that not only can C99 specifically bind cholesterol, but that this binding event partitions C99 to cholesterol rich membrane domains. It is known that both β- and γ-secretase reside in these cholesterol rich membranes. These findings show that cholesterol binding by APP may be the first step in promoting Aβ formation during AD.

Victim of the model policy. Lenovo's new Z50-series offers current and well-implemented mainstream and high-end technology for a small price but also combines it with components that are used in devices for 500 Euros (~$662). Are the display, input devices and case worthy of the 750 Euros (~$993) price tag?
Lenovo's Z50-70-series consists of several black and white models starting at 500 Euros (~$662) that share the same case, but there are several different combinations of CPUs, graphics cards, memory and storage drives. A complete list would go beyond the scope of this review. Looking at the product range of a major mail order company, there are the Kaveri models AMD A10-7300 (4x 1.9-3.2 GHz, TDP 19 W) and A8-7100 (4x 1.8-3.0 GHz, TDP 19 W) that are combined with an AMD Radeon R7 M255 (2 GB). If you prefer Intel processors, you can combine i3, i5 and i7 Haswell processors with the dedicated graphics cards Nvidia GeForce 820M and 840M. SSDs are not available; Lenovo uses conventional drives or hybrid drives with 8 GB SSD cache and a capacity between 500 GB and 1,000 GB instead. The memory equipment is between 4 and 8 GB. Some retailers also list configurations with the 1366x768 resolution, but we could not find any evidence for that. We expect that every local Z50-70 model uses the glossy TN Full HD panel from our review sample that is equipped with a fast Intel Core i7-4510U (2x 2.0-3.1 GHz, Hyper-Threading, TDP 15 W), 8 GB RAM, a dedicated Nvidia GeForce 840M graphics card as well as a 1 TB hybrid hard drive.
The comparison devices for our review unit are similar in regard to the hardware equipment and price. The MSI GP60-2PEi585 that we reviewed in June 2014 uses an Intel Core i5-4200H (2x 2.8-3.4 GHz, Hyper-Threading, TDP 47 W) and the same GPU, but only with 2 instead of 4 GB dedicated memory. The Acer Aspire V5-561G, however, uses a combination of Intel Core i5-4200U (2x 1.6-2.6 GHz, Hyper-Threading, TDP 15 W) and AMD Radeon R7 M265 graphics card. All three notebooks in our comparison have TN displays with 1920x1080 pixels, but the two rivals from MSI and Acer have matte surfaces and conventional hard drives without an SSD cache. All three devices use the operating system Windows 8.1 and weigh around 2.4 kg. The Acer costs around 700 Euros (~$927), the Lenovo 750 Euros (~$993) and the MSI 800 Euros (~$1059) at the time of writing.
The case of the Z50-70 is completely black, mainly made of plastic, and it has a futuristic and angular design. The slightly brighter display cover is matte and shimmery, the top of the base unit has a brushed metal finish that attracts fingerprints. The display frame is glossy; the bottom has a knobbed pattern to improve grip.
You don't need a whole lot of force to twist the base unit, which results in inconvenient creaking sounds. The same applies for the flexible display, push on the back and you can see picture distortions at some spots. The hinge keeps the display well in position and just slightly bounces during sudden movements, for example, in a car or on a train ride. We could not see any obvious build quality flaws like protruding edges or uneven gaps, only the maintenance cover was not perfectly integrated (also see Maintenance section).
As is often the case with mainstream notebooks that share their case with much less expensive versions, the connectivity cannot really keep up with the expectations for this price range. There is only one USB 3.0 port, and otherwise you just get the essentials. The ports are also located very far to the front, so attached cables and devices can be disturbing when you use an external mouse.
Wired LAN is available via fold-out Ethernet port, but you can obviously use wireless connection as well. The Atheros Communications AR9565 Wireless Network adaptor neither supports 5 GHz networks nor the latest Gigabit-WLAN IEEE 802.11ac, but at least Bluetooth 4.0. The signal quality in the individual setup of the author was average with an increasing distance from the router and several architectural barriers, which might just be an issue if you have to deal with a low signal quality.
Apart from the power adaptor, quick-start guide and warranty information, there is nothing in the box, not even installation or recovery drives. This is standard in this price range.
The maintenance cover is secured by three screws and grants easy access to the HDD, fan, WLAN module and memory slots. This means it is easy to maintain or upgrade the notebook – exemplary.
Lenovo's information about the manufacturer's warranty is contradictory. The product page says two years, but if you enter the serial number here, it says one year. The first picture in the gallery on the right side shows the different warranty extensions you can purchase.
The author never reviewed a device before where it was so easy to push down the whole keyboard as in the case of the Lenovo Z50-70, which creates a cheap initial impression that is even enhanced by the large clattering keys. The rest of the keyboard does not win any awards, either. The travel is just okay, but the pressure point was too spongy and the stroke too hard in our opinion. F1 to F12 can only be used via Fn key; the standard functions are typical special features like louder/quieter and darker/brighter. If you want to use the normal functions keys, you won't be happy about the tiny and low-contrast lettering. The layout, however, deserves praise: All keys are at their expected places; Shift and Ctrl are bigger (similar to desktop inputs). The key surface is roughened and slightly concave.
Right from the beginning we asked ourselves why the classic touchpad is not bigger when you consider the available space. The silver frame does leave a noble impression in return. The surface is not completely sensitive toward the peripheral areas, but it is slightly roughened, which is usually preferred by the author in regard to the feedback. However, in this case, at least subjectively, it supports the suboptimal gliding capabilities. Precision and response did not cause any criticism, and Drag & Drop also worked very well. The two buttons cannot really convince with their mechanics, they are too deep inside the case and offer too much resistance for our taste. The feedback is still okay but could be better. It also depends on the spot you press. Since the touchpad is too far on the left, you can hardly avoid any contact with your palm during gaming with the WASD keys. The two screenshots on the top right show the most important driver settings.
The glossy 15.6-inch TN display (16:9) does manage a usable pixel density of 141 ppi thanks to the Full HD resolution – but that's all the good news. Certain combinations of fonts and background colors result in blurry pictures and the brightness of the IdeaPad only reaches 200 nits, which can be expected for an inexpensive notebook. However, the less expensive Acer Aspire V5-561G manages a very decent 300 nits, but you get an unbelievably high black value of 1.29 cd/m² in return. We cannot really say if the poor brightness distribution of 78% is noticeable in practice because of the catastrophic viewing angles – but more on that later. We could not determine brightness reductions on battery power.
The average contrast ratio of 546:1 is not very good, either. The resulting black value of 0.37 cd/m² improves the weak overall impression a bit. The MSI GP60-2PEi585 can score in this discipline and has a better display overall, but the screen is still just average. Another typical issue of TN panels is the low color accuracy that is represented by all three comparison devices with high DeltaE values of 7 and 8 (MSI), 10 (review unit) and an exorbitant 13 (Acer, grayscale). Our review sample also has a strong blue cast without calibration. 35% coverage of the large color space AdobeRGB, which is usually only important for professional users, is insufficient, even for a TN panel. It is astonishing that the MSI manages a very good 56% despite the TN panel.
You cannot really use the device outdoors, at least on sunny days. It is even hard to find a position in the shade (third picture) where you can see the picture at all. This is the price of the very glossy and dark display.
We already mentioned that the viewing-angle stability was so bad that we subjectively could not evaluate the black value and the brightness distribution. If you're looking on a completely black picture (RGB 0,0,0) directly from the center, you can only see black in the center area, the rest is dark gray. The dark area moves with vertical changes of the viewing angle. The typical picture distortions of TN panels with shifted viewing angles, like a milky impression from the top and inverted colors from the bottom, are very distinct in the case of this panel. The viewing-angle stability is also much worse compared to good TN panels.
Our Lenovo IdeaPad Z50-70 is a typical mainstream multimedia notebook with a pretty powerful Core i7 CPU, which is accompanied by the mainstream GPU Nvidia GeForce 840M with 4 GB dedicated memory, which was just released in March 2014. This means the performance is not only sufficient for all office tasks, but also for real-time video editing or complex picture editing, for instance. Games are more limited by the GPU than the CPU, but you should be able to play even complex titles with 1366x768 pixels in medium, sometimes even high, settings.
The Intel Core i7-4510U is a frugal 22 nm dual-core processor with a TDP of 15 Watts that can execute up to 4 threads simultaneously thanks to Hyper-Threading. It has a nominal clock of 2.0 GHz, but it can run with up to 3.1 GHz (Turbo) for a short while if one core is stressed and up to 2.8 GHz when both cores are stressed. Compared to Ivy Bridge, the efficiency has been improved significantly, the per MHz performance just slightly. The additional performance can be quite big if the software utilizes the new instruction sets like AVX2. The integrated on-chip GPU Intel HD 4400 handles simple 2D tasks and supports Nvidia's Optimus technology that automatically switches to the dedicated GeForce 840M for more complex applications.
The specified maximum clock of 2.8 GHz could not be maintained during the Cinebench R11.5 Multi-CPU test and dropped to 2.6 GHz after around a minute. This is a pretty good result. All in all, the CPU shows the expected performance under load. The differences to the faster i5-4200H (2x 2.8-3.4 GHz, Hyper-Threading, TDP 47 W) and the slower i5-4200U (2x 1.6-2.6 GHz, Hyper-Threading, TDP 15 W) in the two comparison devices are on the expected level as well. There should not be any performance limitations on battery power. Numerous additional benchmarks to this and many others processors are available in our FAQ section.
Whether the CPUs of the two comparison notebooks are faster (MSI) or slower (Acer) compared to our review sample – both rivals are more than 25% behind in PCMark 7 (overall score). The difference of the Acer can be explained by the significantly slower graphics card and the missing SSD cache, but only the latter applies for the MSI, which is certainly not enough for a large difference. We added three other notebooks with similarly powerful CPUs and graphics cards to the chart to evaluate the influence of the storage solution. Two of these devices use conventional hard drives (Acer Aspire V7-582PG-74508G52tkk, Asus F550LN-CN89H) and one is equipped with a full SSD (Gigabyte U24T). The handling was subjectively very fast and the launch of frequently used applications really seemed to benefit from the SSD cache. A real SSD would obviously enhance the performance even further.
The storage solution of our review unit is a Seagate ST1000LM014 Solid State Hybrid Drive with an 8 GB SSD cache. The drive recognizes frequently used data and shifts them into the cache to improve the performance. This should be noticeable with application launches and the boot time in particular, but it can create some erratic results in the benchmarks, and the same applies in this case: Despite three runs, CrystalDiskMark 3 only shows bad sequential read transfer rates of 55 up to 70 MB/s for the 1 TB HDD, whereas HD Tune determines more realistic, but still not good 90 MB/s. The same hard drive inside the Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p-59400120 manages 112 MB/s. 0.4 MB/s for small files in the 4k test is not even a good result for conventional hard drives; SSDs usually reach at least 20 MB/s.
The Nvidia GeForce 840M is a mobile mainstream graphics card based on the new Maxwell architecture that supports DirectX 11 and has its own dedicated GDDR3 memory (no GDDR5 possible). Our review unit has 4 GB memory and a 64-bit memory interface. Despite the low memory bandwidth, the performance is, thanks to several architectural improvements, just slightly below the older GeForce GT 750M with a 128-bit memory interface and surpasses the direct and very popular predecessor GT 740M by around 30%. 3DMark 11 shows that the performance is still on the expected level, it only falls behind by 8% compared to current multimedia notebooks with the same graphics card. The newer 3DMark 2013 confirms this result. The MSI P60-2PEi585 with the same GPU is on the same level. The overall slower Radeon R7 M265 inside the Acer Aspire V5-561G cannot pull ahead anymore in the DirectX 10 benchmark Cloud Gate.
Current 3D titles like Thief or Crysis 3 cannot be played with the IdeaPad Z50-70 or only in the ugliest lowest settings with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels. Hitman: Absolution looks nice with medium settings in 1366x768 and just runs smoothly. This applies for some older 3D shooters like BioShock: Infinite as well. In this case and with other shooters like Dishonored that run on the older Unreal Engine, you can even play with high settings. Games like Dota 2 or Diablo III are only a challenge for the GeForce 840M in the maximum settings. The performance was not reduced on battery power. Below the Verdict section is a small comparison between the graphics cards of our comparison devices.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Z50-70 is never completely silent, but the noise from the fan during idle cannot be heard in a quiet environment; you have to get your ears very close to it. The noise under load is a slightly audible and gentle murmur that is not annoying. The two rivals in our comparison are slightly louder with light workloads, but only the annoying 50 dB(A) from the MSI under load is really loud. There should not be any problems with the review unit if you want to play games in noise-sensitive environments (with headphones).
The surface temperatures are never a problem during web browsing or standard office tasks. Gaming on the lap is basically possible since the heat is dissipated at the left side of the case. The fresh air is sucked in via slots at the bottom. Continuous maximum load results in 45 °C in the area of the fan exhaust at the left side. Whether that is annoying is pretty subjective.
The two CPU cores only run above the nominal clock of 2.0 GHz for a couple of seconds during the CPU stress test with Prime95, but it hardly drops below it, so there is no throttling. This does not change with additional load for the GeForce 840M from FurMark. The GPU clock is at 1.1 GHz in this situation, which means that the Turbo is well utilized.
The Dolby software only makes it worse.
The speakers do an average job and direct the sound to the front and the bottom. The sound is completely free of bass and too focused on the medium and high tones. The maximum volume is sufficient for a 30 m² room and does not result in distortions or volume fluctuations. If the notebook stands on a table that can be used as a resonance body, the sound is louder and richer, but depending on the source also a bit tinny and shrill. Many instruments playing at the same time can hardly be differentiated. The speakers at least manage to create a certain spatial sound. Voices in movies are easy to understand. You should not use the sound profiles of the "Dolby Digital Plus Home Theater" (see screenshot), "Off" is usually the best setting and we also used it during our review.
We use similarly sized multimedia notebooks that we reviewed in the last 12 months for the comparison of the consumption and the battery runtime. For starters, the power consumption of 0.1 Watts when the device is turned off and 0.2 Watts during standby cannot be criticized. Looking at the idle (average) result, the Lenovo is among the 4 most frugal devices. The MSI with its 47 Watts TDP CPU, which consumes more power in general, is only average in this scenario with 10 Watts more. The 65-Watts power adaptor is just sufficient.
Mobile gaming with the Z50-70 in this configuration is probably possible for one to one-and-a-half hours. More interesting is the realistic WLAN test, which runs a script that opens different webpages with deactivated consumers and an adjusted brightness of 150 nits. The runtime of 281 minutes is an average result, but you have to consider that the battery only has a pretty small capacity of 41 Wh (MSI, 49 Wh: 170 minutes; Acer, 37 Wh: 212 minutes).
Unfortunately, the answer to our initial question is no. In terms of hardware components there is no criticism about the Lenovo IdeaPad Z50-70 (59427656): The performance is decent, and the convenient thermal management results in a quiet and cool operation. That is all about the inner values. Looking at the rest of the notebook, you quickly ask yourself where Lenovo got these bad parts when you type on the keyboard or look at the display, and why the manufacturer did not integrate a better TN panel at least for the medium-priced configurations. The case is nice to look at, well-built and most rivals should take the Z50-70 as an example in terms of maintainability. But the meager port variety once again shows a basic issue of the review sample: The good hardware components result in a high price, but the other parts, which are shared with the less expensive versions, just cannot meet the expectations of this price point.
We have a problem with a purchase recommendation, because there are devices in the same price range that offer a better overall package. One example besides the two mentioned rivals in the review would be the brand-new Acer Aspire V5-573G-54218G1Taii, which got 82% in our review. It has a better GPU and a slightly slower CPU, a matte and bright IPS display with accurate colors and good viewing angles as well as better battery runtimes. It is also thinner and lighter than the Lenovo, but much warmer and a bit louder under load in return. You will also have to waive a maintenance cover, but we did not have any issues with the input devices (illuminated keyboard) during our review.
In review: Lenovo IdeaPad Z50-70. Test model courtesy of Notebooksbilliger.

Many of the construction trades are union positions.
4 What Are the Different Approaches of Organizational Development Towards Industrial Relations?
Industrial relations generally refers to the area of human resources management that handles employment matters in a union work environment. This involves issues between labor union leaders and the company's management, such as collective bargaining agreements, grievance handling, and day-to-day employment decisions. Labor unions and management don't need to be adversaries, and this relationship can remain on good terms provided certain workplace conditions exist.
The National Labor Relations Act of 1935, also referred to as the Wagner Act, protects the rights of both union and nonunion employees. The act also sets forth the obligations and responsibilities of unions and employers. Good industrial relations depend on the employer and the union having a complete understanding of the law and its provisions.
Management and unions have a shared goal -- to create an employer-employee relationship in which employees receive fair treatment and recognition for their skills and contributions. The difference is that unions rely on collective activity to achieve this goal and management doesn't. Collegial and respectful relationships between labor union officials and the employer's management are necessary for positive industrial relations.
The federal labor act requires that both the employer and the union bargain in good faith concerning collective bargaining agreements, or labor union contracts. Good faith bargaining is an important aspect of reaching an agreement that serves the employer's needs as well as the needs of its workers.
Employee grievances must be addressed in a timely manner, because doing so promotes positive relationships between employees and their supervisors, which underlies good industrial relations. Importantly, grievances should be resolved before they escalate and require resolution through arbitration.

EXETER – With the regular season drawing to a close the Exeter Monarchs once again find themselves near the top of the Central Sequoia League standings. Just one game out of first place with four to play their match against Kingsburg on Wednesday, Jan. 31, was a must win. Exeter did just that by winning 1-0 in a game that held more missed chances, and physical play.
Only seven minutes into the first half Exeter got the deciding goal. Off an Exeter throw in the ball was deflected into the penalty box. As the ball bounced from foot to foot it was hit further inside to the goalie box. There Exeter's Salvador Zamora, who had some open space, turned and buried the ball into the net.
"He always puts himself in great positions to score, and he's even been on a little scoring streak here so far," Renteria said.
Exeter (12-9-1,7-3) kept the offensive pressure on the Vikings for much of the remaining time of the first half. In that time they produced two more solid scoring chances. Ricardo Isais charged through the middle of the defense, and with one guy left he kicked the ball toward the left post. However, it bounced further left than anticipated, going wide. The second was a shot by Jaime Lara that bounced off the post.
While Exeter tried to score it seemed Kingsburg was more focused on pushing the limits of what was a foul. Most times the extra push, or jersey pull when an Exeter attacker ran by was not called. Even an elbow to the back of an Exeter mid-fielder, who had jumped to contest a header, let go.
Toward the end of the first half things began to boil over. Exeter went on the attack one last time in the half. As they took the ball down three Viking defenders forced the attacker toward the baseline. The four players battled for the ball. That was until a defender grabbed the Exeter player by the shoulders, and threw him to the side. Once again there was no call.
In the second half the physical play began to catch up with the Vikings. Lara brought another attack into the offensive zone. While he made a move toward the goal he was fouled resulting in a penalty shot, the first of two for Exeter in the second half. Lara took his own attempt which was stopped with the right hand while Henry Wildes dove to his right.
The rebound came right back to Lara as the other players charged in from beyond the penalty box. Rushed Lara launched the shot wide.
The second penalty kick was the result of a hand ball inside the penalty box. Wildes also had to dive to save the shot, only this time to his left.
"We dominated on the chances, but just wasn't able to finish," Renteria said.
The night was also the last home game for 10 seniors. Orlando Cisneros was one of the ten. While he was happy for the win, he knows that him and his teammates can play better.
"We got the win, but we gave them a few more opportunities there at the end," Cisneros said.
Late game chances are something that the Monarchs cannot afford going into the final week of the season and to D-VI playoffs. Currently Exeter is projected to have the third seed in the bracket. They will look to improve on that by getting a win tonight on the road against the Central Valley Christian Cavaliers. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Crown Estates rented home? Beware – it could be sold from under you
Be warned, Axminster.
"Scores of complaints have been made about rented properties on royal land and tenants have faced more than 100 evictions, a Guardian investigation has found, prompting anger over how the Queen's £14bn property portfolio is managed.
The crown estate, which helps bankroll the Queen by giving the monarch 25% of its profits, has sought to evict 113 tenants in the past five years so they can sell their homes for profit.
It comes after it has emerged on Tuesday that the taxpayer has footed a £2.4m bill to renovate Frogmore Cottage, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's official residence, according to royal accounts. While the royals have no direct oversight role in crown estate's dealings, Prince William and Prince Charles have both spoken before about the importance of ensuring good quality housing is available for all.
Figures obtained by the Guardian show that the crown estate has received more than 100 complaints about its residential properties in just two years, including grievances over rent hikes, leaks, delays in repairs and faulty electrical goods. …
An investigation using data obtained through Freedom of Information laws reveals that:
The crown estate has made £1.1bn selling off more than 700 residential and commercial properties since 2014, with one private firm subsequently hiking rent well above inflation.
More than a quarter of a million pounds has been banked by the crown estate in housing benefit from just seven hard-up tenants.
Four tenants have sued the crown estate for breach of contract, including one claim worth half a million pounds. …
Prince Charles has also spoken out in the past in favour of affordable housing for low-paid workers. In 2003, he said in a speech that "the lack of affordable rural housing is one of the most important issues facing the countryside". …
The crown estate issued 113 "notices to quit" to residential tenants from 2014 to 2018, including 97 in rural properties, nine in Windsor and seven in central London.
Other figures also reveal that the crown estate gained more than a quarter of a million pounds in housing benefit from just seven tenants. People renting in Camden, Runnymede and Windsor and Maidenhead have let property on royal land using housing benefit paid directly to the crown estate.
Since 2014, £253,092 has been paid to the crown estate in housing benefit. The majority of the payments were for five tenants in Camden, north London. …"

The Times: Theresa May exit interview
Just one question: who appointed her? Shouldn't they take the blame for poor selection techniques? After all, they had known her for many years in another senior role. Perhaps they should be reviewing their selection process …..
"Great, well thank you for coming in for your exit interview, Mrs May. I know you've got a few weeks left to work out your notice but I'm sure you're winding down now and not planning to do anything major.
Oh, you are? You've been meeting the president of Russia? Lovely, well, nice to catch up with old friends before moving on . . . And giving speeches on diabetes and housing and tourism and disability in the last week alone? Gosh. Could you have done some of that in the last three years while you were actually still in post?
You do seem to have quite a lot still in your Google Calendar for the next three weeks, too. And accounts have noticed that you're trying to spend, um, £27 billion, which is a nice idea but should probably be one for your replacement, don't you think? I'm sure you can appreciate what it's like to have a predecessor who leaves a great mess behind to sort out.
Thank you for bringing back all of your IT equipment, although I notice that your laptop is a bit broken. The escape button seems to have been pressed rather a lot.
Let's start with some standard questions from HR. Why are you leaving your job? Oh come on now, don't cry. It's a bit late for tears, isn't it? Let's try to be a bit more positive. Um . . . who did you get on well with? Your husband, good. Anyone actually in the office? Right, I'm glad he was friendly but he is technically a cat, isn't he?
I was just looking back at your original application and you said at the time: "I'm Theresa May and I think I'm the best person to be prime minister." With hindsight, do you think "only" would have been more accurate than "best"?
What did you hope to do with the job? Well, Nick and Fiona aren't here so you must have some idea? No? None at all. OK we'll leave that bit blank.
What did you least like about the job? Oh hang on, just slow down. Right, yes, yes, yes, OK, how are we spelling Francois? Shall we just say "every Tory MP" rather than listing them individually?
Could you perhaps tell me about a complex task you completed successfully? Well there must have been something. No, I'm not sure reorganising your cookbooks counts.
Maybe a target you had? OK, bringing down the number of people in Britain, that's a good one. Although looking at the records the only significant flow of people were those leaving the government. OK, what about the biggest project you worked on? You say you thought you'd solved it but it didn't work, so what did you do then? You tried it again and it didn't work? Right and what then? You tried the same thing again, and that didn't work? Oh dear. And then you were going to try it again before deciding, totally independently, that you were going to resign instead.
Do you have any work to go to? After-dinner speaking? Right. Do you have a backup plan? What about Strictly? They always need someone to get knocked out early with Anton.
And finally, any advice for your replacement? It's not as easy as you made it look . . . Careful who your chancellor is, they'll be your next-door neighbour . . . and salt is good for red wine stains. Right, thanks. Great. Good luck."

This is the primary strategy with which we answered Anna University exams. Even if you know only the bare minimum, build on it. It might be gibberish to your ears, but believe in it. Have the confidence that you know exactly what you're saying.
Those poor people listening to you talk! They are imbeciles! YOU have to educate THEM. That's the mantra that should go on inside your head.
How you present yourself is important. If you are feeling unconfident, fake yourself in to thinking you're the best. That sounds like some weird reverse psychology, I know, but listen to this amazing Ted Talk by Amy Cuddy. You will approach things with a new perspective.
Bullet points, keywords and flashcards are your friends. Embrace them.
Do not hold a piece of paper in your hand and refer to it every chance you get. I used to do that a lot and it was no help.
Practice a gazillion times. Preferably in front of the mirror.
And the best advice anyone ever gave me: "Act like you own the room world." Trust me, it always works.

China's new game
November 21, 2020 November 21, 2020 admin	0 Comments
Bhutan is most certain to emerge as the next flashpoint as Beijing makes territorial ingress near Doklam
China isn't expected to concede any territorial advantage it has along its shared border with India and its continued depredations only prove the predictability of its acquisitive strategies and the futility of expecting talks to tame its expansionist ambition. That's why the report that it had infringed on Bhutan's sovereignty and set up a permanent settlement 2 km within its border, close to Doklam, didn't quite come as a surprise though subsequently this was denied by Bhutan's ambassador. Beijing has anyway mastered the art of smart tradeoffs with our allies. But satellite images have confirmed the report. The news of the Chinese settlement very close to Doklam was first shared by CGTN news producer Shen Shiwei, a media organisation considered to be the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) stooge, but was later deleted. He had posted pictures of a neat residential settlement complete with amenities. Perhaps this was part of China's information propaganda war, creating a perception of and the desire for the goodness of the Chinese way of life and intimidating bordering nations to subscribe to territorial and economic transactions loaded in its favour. But that doesn't mean that it has lost sight of either Bhutan, where it has already ingressed into a wildlife sanctuary, or Doklam in particular. And given reports of the Chinese takeover of Nepal's bordering villages, the wolf warrior tactic is playing out both in the strategic and information domain. China will never give up Doklam though it simmered down tension with India after the standoff in 2017. That's because this patch of land is crucial for ensuring its unhindered road connectivity from Chumbi Valley to bordering areas of India and Bhutan. Without this cushion, it would be constricted by both India and Bhutan on either side and wouldn't like their hawk eyes on it. Similarly, the Chinese consolidation around Doklam threatens India's chicken neck access to the Northeast, particularly Arunachal Pradesh that China insists is "south Tibet." Beijing's desperation is evident from the fact that in 1996, it "offered" to "give up" its claims to the 495 sq km of land in the Pasamlung and Jakarlung valleys of Bhutan in return for 269 sq km in Doklam. And despite a breather to India, hoping to continue a frenemy relationship with Narendra Modi than any other Indian leader and, therefore, cooling down till the latter's re-election, it fortified its positions close to the site within a year. Its over-adventurism at Galwan eroded that understanding between the two leaders and its continued intransigence has only worsened equations. In fact, this is a pincer attack of sorts, drawing us to the eastern front and compounding pressure on us to vacate the Chushul heights in Ladakh, a strategic perch that allows us a privileged view of the Chinese road to Aksai Chin. China is revving up defence infrastructure along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Post-Galwan, it has firmed up positions along the central, Sikkim and eastern sectors. It has been ramping up surface-to-air missile sites, increased the number of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and expanded air bases in Tibet.
Bhutan is most certain to emerge as the next flashpoint as China has never forgotten how the former chose to get close to India during the Tibetan annexation. China further refused to recognise the traditional watershed principle that had decided the boundaries between Bhutan and Tibet. And claimed there were perceptional differences over territory in much the same manner of its argument with India. Since 1981, we have had countless rounds of talks with China at different levels and 22 between Special Representatives alone since 2003. Still we have not resolved our territorial dispute, China now seeking legitimacy for its 1959 claim line. Already, it has browbeaten India at the talks table on Ladakh by calling for a buffer zone, which means our forces cannot patrol up to the points they used to because of the Chinese insistence on a no man's land. This would allow it to build resources on its side unmonitored and reverse any disengagement move at a short notice. This clause also makes Indian vigilance difficult besides stretching our alertness at all times. And now by pushing us off Chushul in exchange for withdrawing from some areas it has claimed, it is forcing us into a deal. India should not agree to any position that doesn't guarantee status quo ante across all sectors of the LAC. Both sides have considerable reasons to de-escalate. India, which is dealing with the pandemic spiral and rebuilding a battered economy, can't afford to devote significant resources to the military at this particular juncture. On the other hand, the Chinese Government wants to focus on its growing GDP, the only major economy to register a growth in a pandemic-hit year. However, earlier in September, after the meeting of the foreign ministers of the two countries, the Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece, Global Times, noted that the implementation of the agreement depended on whether India is able to keep up its end of the bargain. It said: "Unless India followed through, this would be little more than what he called paper talk." And on November 12, it claimed that reports of India and China having finalised a detailed disengagement were "inaccurate" at this stage. Till there is no signed agreement between the two sides on the logistics of the retreat, not much can be said. For now, India is being rightfully cautious. China has stepped up aggression in Hong Kong, virtually quietening the pro-democracy activists, is heaving down on Taiwan and is threatening Australia with brutal economic decisions for refusing entry of Huawei in 5G operations and investments. Beijing has never believed in "good faith" diplomacy. It will step up its multi-pronged offensive against us and choke our allies, too. It has already got to Bhutan.
