In 1916 the Sacramento Northern Railroad got a 50-year franchise to build a bridge at "M" Street. It was designed for vehicles and Trains with the railroad in the center and the automobile lanes on the sides. it was obsolete for most of its 25 years of service. It was a busy bridge with 5,161 openings in 1915 and an average of 9 openings a day in 1930. in 1935 it was replaced by the Tower Bridge.

What a Joe Biden presidency means for COVID-19, health care and housing
Joe Biden is already planning to introduce a 12-person COVID-19 task force on Monday, sources say.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston residents are reacting to former Vice President Joe Biden's projected win of the presidency, but also noting the long journey ahead to change.
President-elect Joe Biden is already planning to announce a 12-person COVID-19 task force on Monday, according to reports from CNN.
Paul Brace, a political science professor at Rice University, said he anticipates Biden's primary focus on the first day in office will be on the country's response to the pandemic, including a possible nationwide mask mandate, pushing forward with a stimulus, a COVID-19 relief plan and a push for more health care resources, including more access to adequate testing.
"COVID-19 relief would certainly be something he would like to see passed, and his ability to pass that, of course, will depend on the partisan composition of congress," Brace said. "Right now, they are stalemated on a $2 trillion package with republicans resistant over the cost and expanding testing."
Biden has also promised the following things during his campaign run:
Re-apply for the U.S. to rejoin the world health organization
Move to eliminate President Trump's tax cuts
Rejoin the Paris environmental agreement
Create a task force addressing housing
Push a bill on immigration reform and reinstate the DACA program
"I think Biden's thinking about what he is going to say for a long time," Brace said. "He wants to unify the country, and that's a very tough order. Anyone can say it. It's easy to say, hard to do."
Mayor Sylvester Turner made remarks regarding the presidential election during a press conference at a newly opened COVID-19 testing site.
"When you heard the report on yesterday that this country set an all-time record of the number of cases in a single day. And then what's happening in El Paso and West Texas, don't think what is happening there can not come and happen here," Turner said. "With regards to the election and the race that has now been called, let me just say this, I look forward to the future and I'm not going to focus on yesterday or last year. I am going to look forward to the future. Let me tell you what this city needs, this city needs a good partner in the White House, in congress, in the state. We need a good partner. This virus has affected us every single day. Our financial situation is very, very tight and it will be that way for two or three years."
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo expressed her thoughts on the race on social media by congratulating Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Resident Alexandria Warren said she is going to keep her eyes wide open as the next president transitions into his position in the oval office.
"You've got to have hope," Warren said, "I do believe we can actually get something done if we put the work behind it and if we put his feet to the fire. I'm going to be 100 about it."

Today is a rough day across the NFL, as over 1,000 players are cut by their respective NFL clubs.
Like the other 31 teams, the Oakland Raiders trimmed their roster from 90 to 53, turning in their finalized roster prior to Saturday's 1:00 p.m. PST deadline.
Next up for the Silver and Black is a dive into preparation for their Week 1 opener against the Tennessee Titans, but in the wake of all the activity today, here are five observations about the Raiders initial 53-man roster.
General Manager Reggie McKenzie selected nine players in the 2017 NFL Draft, and of those nine, eight made the team's final roster, with the exception being running back Elijah Hood.
And while the former North Carolina Tar Heel didn't end up as one of the 53, he put together a quality training camp, and played decently well in his limited run in the preseason.
It's no secret that good teams build through the draft, and over the past few years, McKenzie has done just that. From defensive tackle to Eddie Vanderdoes to safety Shalom Luani, the Silver and Black have gotten a good amount of production from the players in the draft class.
While we have yet to see a whole lot from cornerback Gareon Conley and safety Obi Melifonwu, they're both on the roster, and hopefully we're close to seeing them get some extended run on the field.
Don't sleep on Jylan Ware either….
Like clockwork, it seems like each year there is a player or two who comes out of nowhere to make the final roster, and this year that role has been filled by linebacker Nicholas Morrow.
The undrafted rookie from Greenville slowly but surely earned more reps as training camp and the preseason wore on, even getting some sporadic run with the starting defense.
Morrow no doubt made the most of those opportunities, and now as a result, he's earned his way onto the Raiders final roster.
It remains to be seen how much time he'll get once the games start to mean something, but it's no easy task for an undrafted player from a Division III school to make an NFL roster, and Morrow deserves a ton of credit for doing just that.
Shout out to Greenville University too; as Morrow is the first NFL player to come out of the school.
I say it all the time, but depth is the name of the game, even at the quarterback position.
It seems like this season, it's become trendy for teams to only keep a pair of signal-callers on the active roster, but that's not the case for the Silver and Black as Derek Carr, Connor Cook, and EJ Manuel will all remain on the 53-man roster.
If all goes to plan, the only time we'll see Cook or Manuel is if the game is out of reach, but as we learned last year, you can never have enough quality depth at the quarterback position.
The former Cincinnati Bearcat appeared in 15 games his rookie season, primarily getting work on the Raiders special teams units, and now after making the Raiders 53-man roster, he'll be back in the mix in 2017.
Holton was admittedly raw as a receiver when he arrived at the team's Alameda, Calif., facility last year, but No. 16 has something in his arsenal that you just can't teach; speed.
That speed not only makes him an interesting prospect out wide, but it makes him even more valuable on special teams, particularly paired with the losses of several special teams stalwarts in free agency this offseason.
I expect Holton to once again make his hay on the Raiders coverage units, but I'm looking forward to also seeing if he can take the next step in his development as a pass catcher, and provide Carr yet *another *dynamic weapon to utilize out wide.
With Nicholas Morrow in the mix, as well as fellow rookie linebacker Marquel Lee earning a spot on the squad, there is certainly a youth movement afoot on the Raiders roster.
Since Ben Heeney is no longer on the roster, and in a somewhat surprising move, Shilique Calhoun has been waived, the Silver and Black are going young at the linebacker position.
With just five true linebackers on the roster, it'll be interesting to see how this group in particular develops throughout the season.


The complete FF XIII-2 Walkthrough and guide.
You start the game in control of Lightning, the heroine from the first game in the XIII series and sister of Serah, the female lead in XIII-2. Lightning has thrived in the afterlife as protector of Valhalla, the land of souls.
Lightning sits astride Odin's back and battles Chaos Bahamut. You can familiarize yourself with the ATB system with a tutorial if you haven't played the first game. Auto-battle will suffice for now. If you find yourself uncomfortably low on health, use Ullr's Shield to refill your HP and gain Shell, plus Protect.
When you drain's Bahamut's health, you'll sit through a short cutscene and encounter your first Cinematic Action Sequence. It's FFXIII-2's version of a quick time event. As you probably guessed, follow the on screen prompts.
There is a brief cutscene where Lightning spots Noel, the lead Male protagonist, falling from Etro's gate. She catches him and the two continue to battle Chaos Bahamut.
This battle is as easy as the first, use Auto Battle, and refill your health and gain Haste with War's Benediction when necessary.
Follow Noel over the barricade and continue heading north. The toughest enemies you'll encounter at the moment are Pulsework Soldiers. You'll have to stagger them before you can inflict any real damage. Once you have the ability to capture monsters however, Pulsework Soldiers should be at the top of your hit list. The Soldiers, and their variants (knights) make excellent sentinels.
Before the fighting continues, you'll be introduced to the Mog Clock, a mechanic used for initiating random encounters in FFXIII-2.
Mog Clock When the Mog Clock activates, that indicates an enemy is within range, represented as a ring around your character. You have the ability to run away, or attack the enemy to initiate battle (with the X or A button) and earn preemptive strike bonuses. If you choose to run, you must get far enough away before the Mog Clock runs out or you will be forced into battle. The bonus for striking first is a free attack from each character and 2000 points towards your battle rating. The higher the battle rating, the better chance you stand to get rare items from common enemies.
Continue heading north. Look for the Treasure Sphere on your right after the ramp. Open it to claim three potions. There are a few citizens of Bodhum fighting enemies and another treasure sphere on your right that is just out of reach. Ignore it for now, continue north, and open the Treasure Sphere in the middle of your path to acquire the Map of New Bodhum.
Follow Noel northwest to initiate a cut scene. Double back southwest, grabbing the treasure sphere along the way for a librascope. It's an item you use during battle to analyze enemies, revealing their strengths, weaknesses, and a plethora of other info.
Take the left-most path north. Follow Noel over the fallen logs. You'll enter a temporary state of confusion, but no matter, keep following Noel. Open the treasure sphere to score a phoenix down. Continue following Noel. There'll be a quick cutscene, and then a relatively easy boss.
Boss Battle, Gogmagog Alpha: The game will inform you that the Twin Shields paradigm is the key to winning this battle. As Sentinels, you'll incur less damage, but as a strictly defensive paradigm, you'll also be unable to attack your enemy. When you see Gogmagog ready his "Swipe" ability, quickly switch paradigms to Twin Shields in order to protect Serah and Noel.
Switch back to Slash & burn paradigm to continue chaining Gogmagog. Once you get a hang of switching back and forth, this fight will be a breeze. Stagger him with physical and magic attacks, then finish the job. When he's defeated, you'll earn 500 crystarium points, and your first of many fragments, Gogmagog Fragment Alpha.
Fragments Fragments play a special role in FFXIII-2. They are solidified memories, containing valuable knowledge of the history behind characters and locales in the game.
Keep up with Noel, and grab the treasure sphere containing 300 gil. When you hop down into the crater, grab one more treasure sphere for 2 Gysahl Greens. It's slightly hard to see, located just over the edge of the cliff near the crater. You'll use these to ride chocobos found throughout the game.
Examine the crystal structure in the middle of the crater. Noel uncovers a time gate within the crystal and reveals that this is the way to back to Lightning in Valhalla.
In the cut-scene that follows, he mentions that artefacts are needed to travel through gates. Artefacts are objects stuck between two points in time, creating an informal link between the two eras. They act as keys to gates. You'll have to find an artefact to continue your search for Lightning. But first, let's get some rest!
When you awake, the game informs you that you now have access to the crystarium and paradigms section in the menu. The crystarium is how you upgrade your character. You spend CP towards a series of nodes. You can focus your CP towards a primary role or mix and match between multiple.
Open up the crystarium into the crystarium. Upgrade Serah and Noel's primary roles, Ravager and Commando respectively. I took each of them to LV. 10.
Your current goal is the artefact needed to open the gate within the crater. First, examine the tree on the beach near NORA's headquarters. You'll find Lightning's Knife, and engage a new live trigger event.


Fiscalini Farms has a $4 million digester recently installed. This was be the first complete mix digester we saw that used cow manure as a substrate. The digester was built by Biogas Energy, Inc. from Germany. John Fiscalini kindly gave us a tour.
The process starts with cows. 1500 of them. This is a flush dairy, common on the West Coast where freezing isn't a problem. The manure is flushed out of the stalls with water. The high liquid content (the dairy uses 1.2 million gallons of water per day to flush) has limited John's choices in the types of digesters that would work at his dairy. RCM, he says, does not have a design that works on a flush dairy. In front of the digesters are a series of pits. I ask if these remove the grit from the waste. "No, they don't remove the sand," John replied. "They are supposed to remove the sand." Not everything has worked according to plan. The digester was supposed to take outside waste such as FOG (fats, oils and grease) but the current permit only allows John to process waste generated onsite. The permit itself isn't expensive (~$10,000) but dealing with the logistics and litigation has been.
The slope screen separator removes the solids from the flushed manure. The liquid falls through the cracks and is used later to flush the lanes of the dairy. The liquid is further removed from the solids via the press on the right.
The solids are left in a pile for a few days before a front-end loader picks up the solids and dumps them in the blue bin on the right. The bin weighs the solids and pushes the solids into the digesters via a series of augers. The digesters are loaded alternately for 60 minutes each with 4,000 lbs of solids added in a 60 minute cycle. The total solids of this digester seemed much higher than digesters we have previously visited and was 12% TS.
The high total solids seemed to be a requirement of the auger (see auger system above), not necessarily of the digester. There is a second influent stream dredged from the bottom of the pond out front which is higher in water content. No other liquid must be added to the digester. Each digester can hold 860,000 gallons.
The digester is complete mix run at 101˚F. The wall of the digester is concrete 14″ thick. This was over engineered, John says. The thickness was required to be earthquake proof, even though they never have earthquakes in the Modesto area. This is one of many things that increased the price from the quoted $2 million-ish to $4+ million with $1 million in grant funding from the CA Energy Commission.
The biogas is pumped out of the digesters. The small pipe above goes to the flare and the large pipe goes to the generator. Today all of the biogas was going to the flare.
The heat from the generator is used to heat the digester. Even if the engine is down for a few days, the digesters hold enough heat to function correctly. When the plant was starting up, before there was biogas, John brought in a furnace to heat the digesters.
The Guascor generator turns the biogas into electricity and heat–more heat than John says they know what to do with. A Jenbacher made by GE was a another choice but that would cost 3 times as much. The third choice was Caterpillar but the company would not sell to John because of the emissions requirements of California. The Guascor generator is a 710kW engine though they only run it at 500kW and only 200kW is used on the farm. The rest is sold to the grid. The electric company pays $0.01 per kW more than the cost of electricity to consumers so that the company can meet their renewable energy quota. John said that fuel cells and microturbines will not work on dairy biogas.
Unfortunately, on the day we visited, the generator was not in operation because the intercooler for the generator's turbocharger was clogged with mineral deposits. This is due to the hard water at the farm. The white clothes are covering the connections to the intercooler.
The heat exchanger in blue by Mueller sends hot water for heating and sterilizing needs to the cheese facilities.
The liquid from the digester is sent to a lagoon, which is fed into the canal and used to flush the stalls. John says that the farm has not needed to buy fertilizer for the crops for the last 20 years. The solids are dewatered and used as bedding for the cows.
John says that there is not a payback time for this digester unless he can get a permit to bring on off-site waste to increase biogas production 2-3 fold.

Police Scotland to end stop and search on children under 12
Date: 19th June 2014
Category: Civil Rights and Freedoms
Police Scotland announced that it is to end the practice of consensual stop searches on children under the age of 12, to a Holyrood Committee on 19th June 2014.
Police Scotland also announced a pilot scheme in Fife in which the parents of all children subject to stop and search would be given a letter explaining why.
There were 640,000 stop searches in 2013, with 25,000 involving children. The Scottish Police Authority (SPA) recently published 12 recommendations aimed at improving the targeting, effectiveness and transparency of the use of stop and search tactics by Police Scotland.
Find out more about the SPA review here.
In January 2014, Together raised concern that the use of stop and search by police on children is disproportionate and based on a desire to meet targets, rather than an intelligence-based assessment of risk. Together produced a letter which called on Policy Scotland and its Policy Authority to review urgently the current use of stop and search and any targets being set at a divisional level and that any review should involve children, young people and their communities. The letter was referred to during a debate on stop and search at the meeting of the Scottish Parliament on 2nd April 2014.
Find out more about the letter from Together here.

Designed as a technical trail runner, testers immediately noticed the Adidas Terrex Agravic's "unbelievable comfort that made it awesome to wear for hours at a time." Credit the cushy Boost midsole: When your foot presses down, it responds by bouncing back and returning energy into your whole leg. Testers found it reduced strain on feet, ankles, knees, and hips: "I felt fresh and ready to continue after three hours of scrambling in the alpine," one Colorado tester said. Continental rubber inspired confidence on all types of scree, slab, trail, and bushwhacking terrain in the Verdon Gorge, and a moderate weight (11 oz. for a half pair of men's 9 and 9.4 oz. for women's 7) made them unnoticeable when clipped to the back of a harness. Comfortable out of the box, these shoes feature a thin foam tongue that retains ease of wear even when laces were cranked way down. The mesh version is breathable, and testers' feet never got swampy in temps up to 80°F (also offered with Gore-Tex for an extra $15). With a lug-only sole (no flat "climbing" zone) and a lot of flexibility, they aren't meant for technical climbing terrain.
With good style ("I felt chic even walking around fashionable France."), unbeatable comfort, and an airy weight and feel, these are perfect for trail and bushwhacking approaches, easy scrambling, trail running, and travel.

SCCA Address
Sports Review / November 2, 2021
Available for logged-in reporters only
Dr. Christoph Lee of SCCA
Newswise — The White House statement this Wednesday on the Cancer Moonshot announced the official launch of the first Coding4Cancer (C4C) Challenge. Called the "Digital Mammography DREAM Challenge, " this $1.2 million prize competition is challenging coders to improve the accuracy of digital-image breast cancer detection in order to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
Christoph Lee, MD, a clinical advisor for the nationwide challenge, is a radiologist at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance specializing in breast cancer. He and other leaders created the challenge, which provides coders with over 640, 000 digital mammography images and a set of metadata, including demographics, family medical history, and clinical data about the images.
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed solid cancer and second leading cause of cancer death among U.S. women and mammography is known to catch breast cancer earlier and help save lives. Despite this benefit, routine mammography is associated with a high risk of false positive testing and may lead to overdiagnosis of clinically insignificant lesions. Out of every 1, 000 women screened, only 5 will have breast cancer. Yet 100 will be recalled for further testing. This challenge aims to close that gap.

The Pixar Touch
David A. Price
A Wall Street Journal Best Book of the Year
The Pixar Touch is a lively chronicle of Pixar Animation Studios' history and evolution, and the "fraternity of geeks" who shaped it. With the help of animating genius John Lasseter and visionary businessman Steve Jobs, Pixar has become the gold standard of animated filmmaking, beginning with a short special effects shot made at Lucasfilm in 1982 all the way up through the landmark films Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Wall-E, and others. David A. Price goes behind the scenes of the corporate feuds between Lasseter and his former champion, Jeffrey Katzenberg, as well as between Jobs and Michael Eisner. And finally he explores Pixar's complex relationship with the Walt Disney Company as it transformed itself into the $7.4 billion jewel in the Disney crown.
With an Updated Epilogue
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY MAY 12, 2008
For 20 years, Ed Catmull and his crew of computer graphics experts were a money pit, costing the New York Institute of Technology, and later George Lucas, millions of dollars producing cutting edge hardware and short films that impressed the experts, but didn't come close to breaking even. Steve Jobs got it next, and after trying unsuccessfully to sell all or part to Hallmark, Oracle and Microsoft, Jobs was able to take the company public on the strength of its first feature film, 1995's Toy Story. Despite years of negative earnings, Pixar's stock immediately doubled, making Jobs a billion dollars-ten times what he'd then earned from Apple. Over the next 13 years, Pixar went on to create seven more feature films (including Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles and Ratatouille) before Disney-whose own animated movies were becoming something of an embarrassment-bought them at a premium. Most readers won't fully appreciate all the technological talk ("bicubic patches," "bitslice microcode,"), but it's interesting to see all the problems the experts were up against. Unfortunately, the business end-despite the presence of such personalities as Lucas, Roy Disney and Michael Eisner-is presented rather dutifully, but author Price (Love and Hate in Jonestown) shines when recounting the stories behind Pixar's family favorites.

Multi-centric studies have been carried out to validate this point-of-care (POC) molecular diagnostic test.
An indigenously developed diagnostic test called Truenat test for effective case detection of Tuberculosis (TB) will soon be rolled out by the Union Health Ministry.
Multi-centric studies have been carried out to validate this point-of-care (POC) molecular diagnostic test. It has also been found to be comparable with internationally approved molecular diagnostic tests, as stated by the country's apex research body—Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
The Tuberculosis Research Consortium (ITRC), formed by the ICMR, convened its second International Scientific Advisory Group (ISAG) meeting this week in New Delhi.
While a Cartridge-based Nucleic Acid Amplification test (CBNAAT) has been successfully rolled-out as a tool to detect drug resistance, it remains expensive and largely inaccessible as a front-line TB test.
India has relied heavily on smear microscopy technology (the traditional, manual Sputum smear diagnosis of TB) for decades, and case detection continues to be a major gap in the cascade of care.

Home/News/Technology/Ring's car alarm might actually escape vaporware status
Ring's car alarm might actually escape vaporware status
United News Team November 1, 2022
Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Reddit WhatsApp Telegram Share via Email
The image of the alarm aligns with what we saw when Ring first revealed the thing: a black brick-like device with Ring's branding and signature blue circle. As outlined in a support page on Ring's website, the $59.99 alarm will connect to your car's OBD-II diagnostic port and send notifications to your phone whenever it detects an attempted break-in or a bump from another car. It's also supposed to come with a siren that you can trigger remotely and uses Amazon's Sidewalk network (or Wi-Fi) for connectivity.
It's not clear when Ring plans on launching its car alarm, though. In a tweet sent in reply to a user's question last month, Ring says it has a "car alarm system in the works" with a link to the announcement it initially made in 2020. The company adds that it's "still working out some technical details" but said that we can expect it "in the next year or so." The Verge reached out to Ring to ask about a potential release window, and we'll update this article if we hear back.
In addition to the car alarm, the company is supposed to be working on a $199.99 Ring Car Cam as well. The dashboard-mounted device records both the inside and outside of the car and comes with the ability to alert emergency services if you've been in a "serious crash." Last year, The Tape Drive revealed what appears to be an image of the device, while Zatz Not Funny! uncovered a now-hidden support page that notes that it could also connect to your OBD-II port and may not require a Ring subscription to use.

I was teaching grade school in a tough environment. I was miserable. I needed a huge paradigm shift. I made lots of artwork and applied to graduate school, and got in. 2003 represents the waiting, the notification, the trip to an upstate residency, and then the first semester in NYC at Parsons.

Why Travel Content Creators Choose Affiliate Marketing: Report From TBEX
This past November, we attended the TBEX Asia 2022 conference in Phuket, Thailand as speakers for the third time running. In this post, we'll tell you our impressions of the conference and share the affiliate marketing advice given to us by the travel bloggers we met.
What is TBEX?
TBEX is, first and foremost, a community for travel creators and industry professionals from around the world. Each year, TBEX holds several conferences around the world to gather the community to share knowledge and form partnerships. This autumn, TBEX came to Phuket and brought together more than 200 travel bloggers.
TBEX always spotlights topics that are important to travel content creators. Since TBEX Asia 2022 was the biggest blogging conference after the pandemic, many sessions focused on travel market recovery and changes in monetization strategies. Of course, affiliate marketing was also a big part of the conversation.
Shane Dallas, TBEX Conference Director:
"Before there were a lot of trends [along the lines of] 'I will go on a media trip or a press trip and get paid' or 'I'll have a sponsored post and get paid'. Those models have definitely decreased.
I think affiliates obviously dropped in the first few months. But it's one of the most secure sources now, and it's an easier way. If you want to start your own business or tour company, it's a lot of time and a lot of upfront investment. If you can get your SEO right and you can get your articles right, then it's a lot easier to get an affiliate onto your site.
So I think people need to be aware that there is more money to be made than just getting publicity. You can use those views to direct into your affiliates, to direct into your other business opportunities."
Travelpayouts Lead the Discussion About Affiliate Marketing
TBEX Asia 2022 was our third TBEX conference of the year. We had previously attended TBEX North America 2022 and TBEX Europe 2022 and had prepared something even more special for the Asia event.
Live Q&A With Guillaume Schaer, Affiliate Consultant to Top Bloggers
We had the pleasure of hosting a session called Money in Travel. Live Q&A with Top Bloggers Affiliate Consultant, in which Tatiana Buyanova (Head of Business Development at Travelpayouts) interviewed Guillaume Schaer (head of travel consulting company EYFARI and founder of MilesAddict), who helps the biggest travel and lifestyle YouTubers monetize their audiences with affiliate marketing.
During the talk, Guillaume explained how to monetize social media, such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, and shared successful cases of his clients, all of whom are major bloggers.
Interviews With Travel Bloggers and Travelpayouts Partners
Of course, we met with travel bloggers and our partners, who provided us with insights about affiliate marketing and their experience with Travelpayouts. Below, we summarize the five most exciting findings:
1. Bloggers Choose to Include Partner Marketing Into Their Monetization Strategy
According to travel bloggers, the most successful monetization strategy is affiliate marketing, for which they do a lot of brand research, content creation, and SEO.
Erin Holmes, the creator of Explore with Erin:
"Everybody's got to book accommodation or car rental. So affiliate links is a great place to start. I actually do a lot of content creation, and I find that you can sign up to agencies who will give you work. There are people looking for micro-influencers, so you don't have to have a massive of followers anymore. That would probably be the two easiest ways to gain money straight away."
2. Content Creators Work Both Directly With Brands and Affiliate Networks
According to bloggers themselves, working directly with a brand is a long-term collaboration, whereas partner networks offer the opportunity to work with many different brands in one place over the long- and short-term.
Amanda Mouttaki, the creator of MarocMama:
"I like the ease of working with a network because a lot of times it's a lot easier. Especially if a brand doesn't really have a strong presence or they don't have a person who's specifically set up to be their affiliate, it's just kind of like a secondary thought for them. But sometimes it's easier to work with a brand especially if you're doing like one-off collaborations if it's like a long-term agreement."
Alan Cuthbertson, the creator of Frequent Traveller:
"Affiliate networking is just easier. It gives us a lot more options to our blog to cover a lot of different avenues like hotels, luggage, tours, and things like that".
3. Why Bloggers Choose Travelpayouts
Bloggers choose Travelpayouts because it focuses on one niche, travel, and offers a great variety of brands, and simple partner tools.
Raksha Nagaraj, the creator of Solopassport:
"I really enjoy dashboards because there's transparency [on Travelpayouts] and you can see what's happening. So that's one of the things that I like. Also, the variety of brands that they work with is another thing. It's easy to set up and then easy to work with their brands."
Guillaume Schaer, the founder of MilesAddict:
"Whereas if you look at a lot of other travel affiliate networks, they [Travelpayouts] work on multiple fields. What I like about Travelpayouts it's only about travel, and everybody in the team that I'm in touch with on a regular basis knows travel, breathes travel, and lives travel.
Travelpayouts is good for any blogger or any content creator who works or who has an audience who's interested in travel. The interesting part is really having so many options around advertisers in the travel industry. There will be one advertiser or multiple advertisers who are a match to your audience."
4. The Most Profitable Partner Programs
Most bloggers earn with partner programs associated with hotels, and Tours & Activities.
"Booking.com [brings more affiliate income]. That's because everybody books accommodation. And some of the things that have worked for me is Viator. So people go on day tours, and they have booked through Viator."
"Mainly hotels bring more affiliate income. Booking.com or Agoda or something like that. Everybody always needs a place to stay when they're on holiday."
5. The Most Important Things in Affiliate Marketing
We asked each blogger the following question: What advice would you give your younger self on choosing the right platform to monetize your blog?
Below are the key takeaways. If you are just starting your journey into affiliate marketing, make note of these bloggers' tips so you don't make the same mistakes.
Understand user intent. Tracy Collins: "If you're writing an article, know exactly why users are coming to your website. For example, you know the best places to stay in London, so you know that when somebody's coming to your website, that's the information that they want to look for. Then you can link to hotels. I think rather than just writing a post important links to affiliate in, you really need to think about exactly what it is that user is coming to get that information."
Diversify. Erin Holmes: "I wouldn't just go straight into one platform (editor's note: by platform, Erin means brand). Because if I have done that and if that platform falls over or doesn't pull through for you, you're left with nothing."
For example, in March 2021, the Airbnb Partner Program, a popular service for booking short-term homestays, closed. Partners had to look for alternative programs and change affiliate tools in their articles to keep making money. To avoid this, a good practice is to try several partner programs from the same category.
Know your market and what works in your area. Erin Holmes: "At the moment for me personally, Booking.com is probably the best one. But that depends on which regions you're in, because Agoda is great for Southeast Asia, Booking.com is great for the US, and Australia uses something completely different."
Find monetization opportunities that work for you. Tracy Collins: "When I started in 2016, I knew nothing. I honestly didn't even know you could make money from your blog until I had friends that started making money, and I was like 'How are you doing that?'. Do lots of research, have a look around, and find out what other people are using and what they're doing. I think networking is common to things like TBEX, learning from other people, rather than kind of diving into stuff. I think it's easier now; when I started in 2016 I didn't have the contacts. Listen, learn, and then figure out what works for you."
Start monetizing right from the start. Alan Cuthbertson: "If I was younger starting out again, it would be to start monetizing earlier. We waited until our traffic had increased a fair bit. But if I was studying it now, I wouldn't wait until our traffic was at a higher level, I just start straight away."
The bloggers we talked to at TBEX seemed to all wish they had added partner links when they wrote their first articles. Most of them had to retroactively add affiliate tools, which means they missed out on years of commissions.

TOP 10 Myths in the World of Airline Tickets
Alexey who manages the integration of new partners in Aviasales and Jetradar projects answers question about TOP 10 Myths in the World of Airline Tickets.


During the past session, both chambers of Florida's Legislature failed to address top-priority votes, including the constitutionally-mandated vote on a budget. Given these failures, Florida's Legislature will be voting on several laws when the next session begins on January 12th, 2016. Among these laws is a new gun law that is being lauded by critics and the public.
The first is a water policy bill that rewrites rules for cleaning up springs and is intended to unify and standardize water policy in Central Florida. Currently, this is split between several water management districts, which creates a lack of uniformity and easily causes confusion.
The second bill aims to set up a financial literacy program for the developmentally disabled, as well as providing the developmentally disabled with job training and education on topics like money management. The third bill also focuses on the developmentally disabled and would establish the Florida Center for Students with Unique Abilities at the University of Central Florida. The center would oversee a statewide program to help match the developmentally disabled with suitable job programs. It would also create related scholarship programs.
Gun laws have become a point of stress and contention in Florida and across the country recently. Following the national stories of the Trayvon Martin case in Florida, the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and the many violent shootings that have been taking place over the past year in the United States, guns and gun-related legislation has been front and center in the public eye.
The debate isn't one-sided, either. To rival the previously proposed gun law, there is another bill hitting the House during the next session that would allow guns on college and university campuses in Florida. It will be interesting to watch how this issue influences the 2016 U.S. Presidential race as well.
Beyond these 4 bills, there will be a total of 33 bills that should see some attention on January 12th.

Production Talk with Kristen Ong on 'Bird'
Written by SINdie
'Bird' by Kristen Ong was one of the most nominated short films at the 5th Singapore Short Film Awards, with nominations in Best Fiction, Director, Script, Cinematography, Sound and Performance.
Two girls journey back to an abandoned house they used to frequent as secondary school sweethearts. Though one attempts to salvage their unfinished romance before the night is over, the other is more preoccupied with the injured bird she finds on the porch.
What inspired you to write Bird? Is this your first short film?
"Bird" was my thesis film while studying at Ngee Ann Poly. It wasn't my first short film, but at that point in time it was the short film I had invested the most amount of time conceptualizing. The idea for the film had been on my mind for around three years, and the premise is partly based off a crush I used to have on a classmate while attending an all-girl secondary school.
The film displays a strong eye for location aesthetics (all your locations look very cinematic), tell us about your choice of shooting locations
I wasn't conscious of it then, but most of the locations we ended up shooting in had certain significance in my life. The bus stop where Shu waits for Sufi is just around the corner from where I live. The roads Shu and Sufi cycle on on their way out of the house were roads that my friends and I chanced upon while driving around aimlessly late at night. The abandoned house was chosen as a setting because my classmate and I used to like to sneak into abandoned houses and take photographs after school.
I was particular about the way these locations looked cinematically, but more than that I think I gravitated towards them because they helped to evoke certain moods that I had felt previously in my teens, moods and moments that I wanted to bring out in the film sincerely.
The film is also very consistent in terms of look and feel, take us through the production design and cinematography and sound and how you put them together
Everyone in my team brought something to the table. We really just strove to make a film that was honest in its storytelling, and at the same time as students, push the envelope in terms of skill.
My DP, Art Director and I selected a colour palette and constructed a mood board during pre-production and made most of our decisions with regards to mise en scene according to it. With the cinematography, it was a matter of trying to draw the audience into the film, closer to the characters while exploring Shu's state of mind. I knew that I didn't want too much music in the film, so for sound we worked mostly on building ambience that was not merely natural/ realistic to the locations on screen, but subtly supportive of Shu's emotional changes through the film.
How did you work with your actors? They seemed very comfortable in front of the camera.
Nessa, who played Sufi, was already an experienced actress. On the other hand Michelle, who played Shu, had never acted prior to "Bird". Because of her experience, Nessa was more attuned to direction and what tends to be expected of her from the scene. For her, it meant seeing how she interpreted the script and then dissecting the performance/ scene, whereas for Michelle it was more about building performance by adding detail and context and making sure she was comfortable in front of the camera.
Would the story of Bird have worked if the relationship was between a straight couple? The lesbian nature of it seemed to help bring out certain complexities in girl-to-girl relationships (be it friends or couple)
Hmm... I suppose the premise might have worked with a straight couple, but then it wouldn't have been the same story or dynamic anymore. I think the issue of Sufi "moving on" (her seeing her relationship with Shu/ girls as a phase in her life) and having a boyfriend ties in what I was trying to touch on with regards to change and sentimentality.
What were the challenges in shooting this film?
I struggled a lot with conceptualization... I was aware that I was writing something personal, and the story went through many revisions because I couldn't figure out which way I wanted to tell the story. There were people along the way who questioned the girl and girl element in the script because they knew it would be almost impossible to get public funding/ support for it, but we pushed on with it anyway.
With regards to shoot, we met with quite a bit of rain because our shooting period coincided with monsoon season. The night we shot at Swee Choon it poured so heavily the back of the restaurant flooded almost shin-deep.
Did you encounter any difficulty getting funding for this film?
We knew from the beginning that it was going to difficult to get support/ funding for "Bird" so we tried our best to self-fund and work with a small budget. The film cost around $5000 to make; $3000 came from Ngee Ann Polytechnic, $1000 from my film collective RAAPOW (we did freelance videography jobs during the school holidays to save up) and the rest came from the five of us in the team. We did not apply to MDA for funding.

WINTER SALE STARTS NOW | UP TO 60% OFF
'Made in Britain' has become short hand for opulent luxury and ancient craftsmanship now sought after worldwide. Holland Cooper is proud to maintain this by sourcing all our tweed fabrics is the UK and individually hand cutting and making all our tweed garments in the UK. The fashion industry provides 816,000 jobs within the UK; at Holland Cooper we realise the importance of staying a 'British Made' tweed, this has been a passion for Jade Holland Cooper, founder and owner of Holland Cooper who has strived to maintain the luxurious British make even throughout the tough economic climate. Trading Britishness has been at the forefront of Jade Holland Cooper's strategy from the outset, this has now seen to pay off as at London Fashion week last year there was seen to be a push for the fashion industry to move back to its production roots here in the UK. Sir Phillip Green's speech proved iconic as he stipulated the importance of improving our manufacturing units in the UK not only for the industry but also to boost the economic climate in the UK . This year Holland Cooper has combined the opulent city flare with the Quintessentially British look to create the most iconic British tweed collection to date incorporating Ostrich Skin and Shearling for uncompromising luxury.
British Made Luxury
It is this kind of promotion of British industry that is getting Holland Cooper noticed internationally. In a world where primary industry has previously hopped from one country to the next depending on the cheapest possible labour, it is truly refreshing how Jade Holland Cooper, pursues the road not taken by many and supports British manufacturing. Jade started the company back in 2007, with the goal to bring London to the countryside, and bring heritage Scottish tweed 'kicking and screaming' into the 21st Century.
Why is British Made so Sought After?
There is now a strong emphasis on the need to understand and appreciate where products have been sourced and how they have been made. The demand for lasting luxury over one hit wonders has proved a must in tough economic climates throughout the UK and this has shown heads turning back to long lasting quality fabrics such as tweed. The 'Investment piece' such as British 'tweed coats and jackets' have become a must have this season and an appreciation for quality and a thirst to know where and how things are made have lead the market for UK made products.
In the current economic climate it is difficult for most companies, especially for those who choose to defy the modern convention of heading east for primary industry; but Holland Cooper have managed to grow year on year, producing their new collection which is being described as 'urban country chic' tweed. It is this success that boasts them to be a part of the new British frontier; bringing back the heritage of British industry, and fighting off the recession on the home front.
We are delighted to state that all Holland Cooper tweed garments are individually marked and cut by hand. We are proud to be home to some of England most experienced cutters and machinists, dedicating their working lives to making each and every garment to the highest standards.
First the selected tweed is placed onto the cutting bench making sure it is absolutely flat and level. The specific pattern is then selected; patterns often have over 18 pieces per garment and so this is an intricate and detailed process.. any error here can mean the tweed is ruined and has to be re marked.
Once the pattern pieces are all placed onto the tweed these are then individually marked with chalk.
Now the pattern pieces have all been marked, they are removed from the tweed to reveal chalk outlines of the pattern pieces.
This is then individually cut out with large shears by one of our skilled cutters.
How The Tweed Is Made
Raw Wool
Dye House
Spinning Yarn
Warping
Scouring, Milling, & Finishing
How it's made overview
Raw wool is to the mill, the mills we use make sure that the best raw material is chosen in order to produce fabrics of this quality.
The wool that arrives is either scoured or cleaned and combed broken tops, which ensures that there is less than 0.3% impurities within the fleeces.
The selected raw wool then goes to the Dye House, to be dyed using precise combinations of dye, pressure, temperature and time.
There is a huge array of colours available with up to 500 different shades to choose from. This is a highly skilled process that is essential to creating beautiful yarns and is passed down through generations.
The secret to creating beautifully rich colours that you see in our tweeds is in the blend.
Up to 7 different coloured wools can go into the recipe for each yarn to create the finished colour. This is what gives Tweeds, Heathers and Plaids their uniquely rich texture. For example, if a check design includes 5 different colours, and each colour has 7 different shades in the yarn, the eye is picking up 35 different colours in the finished pattern.
Essential in producing soft, smooth fabrics that Holland cooper is renowned for.
The blended wool lubricated with a little water and oil is run through a series of combed rollers that first tease the fibres one way and then the other. This process rids the wool of any last impurities ensuring the finished fabrics are smooth and soft to the touch. Carding also helps with alignment and uniformity. At the end of the process, the combed and teased fibres are wound onto a spool ready to be placed into the spinning machine.
The rich web of coloured wool is then spun our beautiful yarns.
There are 6 frames that draw out the wool and put a precise number of twists per inch into the wool, resulting in a fine but strong thread ideal for fabrics used in our clothing. The yarn is then wound onto cones going through a check to ensure continuity of thickness of the yarn.
The cones of yarn are wound over a drum (known as a swift or mill) and a warp (lengthwise threads) is made for weaving.
This can be a complicated process depending on the intricacy of the pattern in the finished fabric. These are checked by hand and must all be held in an exact order to ensure accurate and uniform patterns and designs.
This is where many different yarns are woven together in intricate weaves to create stunning fabrics.
After the fabric is woven, each piece begins a strict quality control process. Every inch of fabric is inspected at three stages in the manufacturing process – when it comes off the loom, after finishing and again before it leaves the factory- ensuring a trademark consistency in quality.
After weaving the fabric is scoured (washed) using pure water pumped from boreholes 800ft below, and then milled and dried.
The oils that were used to aid manufacture of the fabric are removed and fire retardants and water resist treatments can be padded onto the fabric. This is when the wonderful and luxurious feel (or 'handle') starts to become apparent. The final step in the process is finishing. Each length of fabric is carefully pressed using steam and specialised equipment used to remove any shrinkage, thus completing the creation of the fabric.

Penn grad students earn union vote, with a caveat
Avi Wolfman-Arent

Graduate students at the University of Pennsylvania will be able to vote on whether to form a union, the regional National Labor Relations Board has ruled.
The decision is a victory for GET-UP, a coalition affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers that has been driving unionization efforts at the Ivy League school in Philadelphia.
"We're really excited," said GET-UP organizer Miranda Weinberg, a doctoral candidate in Penn's Graduate School of Education and its School of Arts and Sciences.
But GET-UP's win comes with a caveat.
The NLRB ruled that GET-UP had to include two graduate schools in its bargaining unit that union organizers did not initially ask to represent.
University lawyers argued in June that graduate organizers had purposefully excluded the Wharton School of business and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences because they feared graduate students at those schools would vote against unionization.
The regional NLRB ruled that business and engineering students do belong in the bargaining unit, and they should have a say on whether to unionize. They join graduate students from seven other schools — the Annenberg School of Communications, Biomedical Graduate Studies, School of Design, Graduate School of Education, School of Arts and Sciences, School of Social Policy and Practice, and School of Nursing — in the proposed union.
An election date has not been set. If a majority of graduate students vote to unionize, GET-UP will represent workers in all nine schools.
"We are disappointed with the NLRB ruling," said Ron Ozio, the university's director of media relations, in a statement. "As we have stated before, we view our graduate student scholars as students and our future colleagues rather than employees and believe we can better support them without the intervention of a labor union."
Penn is among several elite universities where graduate students have organized or are attempting to organize. The arguments at all of them have been similar.
Graduate student organizers say their teaching and research constitutes a form of work and enables them to unionize. GET-UP organizers believe a union could secure better benefits for graduate student workers and protect them against workplace abuses.
University officials argue graduate students are primarily enrolled to learn and prepare for work in their specific fields.
"A model born from industry and designed to represent units of workers doing the same type of work is not the right fit for students in a wide range of disciplines, with differing expectations and varying needs," said Penn Provost Wendell Pritchett in a letter sent Wednesday to graduate students.
In 2016, the NLRB reversed precedent and ruled that graduate student workers at Columbia University could organize. That decision sparked unionization efforts at campuses across the country.
GET-UP organizers, however, fear their window to gain collective bargaining rights could close soon. President Donald Trump recently appointed two new members to the NLRB, giving Republicans a majority on the five-member panel.
"We really wanted to secure our union as fast as possible," said Weinberg. "We didn't expect to wait six months."
Whether this new NLRB reverses the 2016 Columbia decision remains to be seen, but one of the board's recent decisions may already have hurt the Penn unionization campaign
On Dec. 15 — in a 3-2 ruling along party lines — the NLRB reversed an Obama-era decision that gave union organizers more power to define their own bargaining units. The NLRB's new standard tips the scales back toward employers and makes it harder for union organizers to exclude workers they might consider unfriendly to unionization attempts.
It's not clear whether the regional NLRB considered this standard when it compelled GET-UP to include Wharton and SEAS students in its bargaining unit. In a message to supporters, though, GET-UP leaders pointed out that the decision is "in line with NLRB precedent that was recently overturned."
Weinberg denied the university's claims that GET-UP excluded business and engineering students as a strategy to ensure a successful vote.
"We have always wanted to include the whole graduate worker population," she said.
GET-UP left Wharton and SEAS out of the original bargaining unit, Weinberg said, because organizers were "racing against the Trump clock," although she did not clarify how omitting those two schools accelerated organizing efforts.
"We're excited to bargain collectively with the whole unit," Weinberg said.

The problem posed by Western Mining Corporation involves finding a way of improving or optimising the utilisation of batches of lower grade talc when making up orders for products of different grades. During the MISG a number of Linear Programming models were developed. These models addressed the problems of blending batches of talc for a single order and of blending to meet a series of orders for different products over a specified planning horizon. Preliminary versions of the models were tested using data supplied by Western Mining Corporation.

CBDC Chaleur Economic Diversification Initiative
Project: CBDC Chaleur Economic Diversification Initiative
Region: New Brunswick
Helping supply chain companies to gain new skills and access new market opportunities
Allowing SMEs to diversify into new product lines, services and revenue streams
Sustaining and creating new jobs
Project is entering year two of activities
Timeline: Expected completion date of August 31, 2023
The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) delivers the Canada Coal Transition Initiative (CCTI) in New Brunswick. The agency is providing $980,000 to the CBDC Chaleur.
The community of Belledune, New Brunswick, will be affected by the phase-out of coal fired electricity as Canada moves to a net-zero carbon emissions future. It is home to the coal-fired Belledune Generating Station and to the Port of Belledune, a key transportation asset that imports coal for the station and supports a wide range of industrial activities. The region was also impacted by the closure of the Glencore Smelter and the temporary closure of the Trevali Mine.
Through the Canadian Coal Transition Initiative, ACOA provided $980,000 to the CBDC Chaleur to support the development of a small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) diversification initiative to assist the Glencore Smelter and Trevali supply chain companies in acquiring new skills, identifying new fabrication and manufacturing opportunities, tooling up and improving productivity.
This project will help companies to strategically plan for the development of new products and service offerings, as well as to diversify into new markets for the purpose of generating new revenues, and sustaining or creating new jobs. By diversifying the economy and creating new employment opportunities, this project will mitigate the impacts of a future coal phase-out on workers and communities in Belledune and the surrounding region.


Have you considered purchasing second-hand furniture or equipment for your offices?
A lot of second-hand office furniture and equipment is nearly new and not as unreliable as you might think, especially when purchased from trustworthy sources. And if you are concerned not to have anything but the best in your front offices, there still might be a place for second-hand items in the back offices.
The best place to buy is at specialist auctions, or online at auction sites such as ebay.co.uk. Very often these are sales of stock from bankruptcies - and many businesses go bankrupt in the first year or two of trading so the equipment is often not that old.
Liquidators are another useful source. They generally offer larger consignments, and so you have a greater chance of acquiring matching furniture, spare parts, unspent warranties and so on, through them.

Running a surf camp in Taghazout has definitely become a much more serious business than it was a decade ago when we first got going. Back in the day if you had a van or a 4*4 and some boards, you could rent a house or couple of apartments and work through the Winter and via a simple website or fb page, or just a couple of travel agent partners expect to get guests all through the season.
Recently there has been an explosion of surf schools and surf camps in Taghazout and Tamraght and with them a wave of investment in the area. Gone are the days that a lick of paint will do, now there are new hotels, golf courses, jet skis, pleasure boats, all sorts.
Tudor and I decided last year to invest in our cafe building. We'd previously tried to do some building work there before and always been blocked by the local authorities but the commune gave us the all clear. So we completely redid the cafe and the yoga studio and expanded the office to be a fab space with fibre internet and some co-working space. Sure it isn't WeWork in scale, but the location and view is still hard to beat (and it still has fibre internet).
This Summer, we thought we'd do a bit of work on the outside of the cafe. Again, previous attempts had been blocked, but the Commune were telling us we could get on with it again so we set about tidying up the terraces and the walk way for the general public.
Finding the tiles proved to be the hardest part, trips to Agadir and Marrakech proved to be pretty uninspiring, but we struck gold in Essaouira. Don't get me wrong, Moroccan tiles are all pretty fabulous, but after looking at the same patterns for over a decade, it's sometimes nice to find something a bit unique, something different that hopefully will make people feel they are enjoying something special.
After lots of debates on the best arrangement of the tiles, we settled on a plan and over June and July set about creating a smooth concrete finish surrounded by a band of tiles. Our cafe will never have the polished service of some of the more expensive ones in Agadir or even Taghazout, but hopefully the charm of the location and setting combined with a service with a smile (although admittedly a bit slow), should always mean we are the best spot to come and enjoy your sunset coffee.


Bandari FC head coach Bernard Mwalala was the club's turning point as they went on to finish second in the Kenyan premier League. When Gor visited the Mbaraki Complex on August 8, they were coming in on an unbeaten run, but a 2-1 final result to the advantage of Bandari saw that run come to an end.
Mwalala says the win gave them the resolve to work harder hence attaining their highest ever finish in top flight football.
"It was a good feeling because when they came here, they were on top of their game and doing very well in CAF Competitions. Before the game, I told my players that we only needed to go there and pick three points, without concentrating on the unbeaten run. It happened and it gave us the energy to move on," the tactician stated.
Mwalala was on Monday morning belatedly rewarded as the Kenyan Premier League coach of the month for August by the Sports Journalists Association of Kenya and sponsors Fidelity Bank having led the side to a flawless run.
Before beating Gor, they had won 3-1 against Posta Rangers then also went on to win 1-0 against Tusker FC and Mwalala's former employers Nzoia Sugar.
"There was a lot of unity in the team and that was the biggest thing that helped me do well. We had very tough matches but the players worked so hard and we ended up doing well," the tactician stated.
Ahead of the new season, the tactician has challenged his players to emulate the performance they had last season and challenge for the title. He has brought on board defender Brian Otieno and keeper Mustafa Oduor from Nzoia Sugar as well as St. Anthony Kitale midfielder Moses Mudavadi.
"We want to emulate performance we had last season. We want to start well in our first five games then from there we can forge forward and put targets for the new season. We are very lucky as a team that we haven't lost any of our dependable players and I want to thank the management for helping us retain most of the players," the tactician stated.
Incidentally, Gor start their campaign against Gor on December 8 in Mombasa.


the eggs baked inside. When you cut the pie you should see the egg sliced through the middle in what's a beautiful and festive effect. To help with this, I always score a cross in the top of the pie so that you can see where to cut.


Does anyone have a description of what exactly were the circumstances of Claus von Stauffenberg being shot up in North Africa. I can't seem to find anything on the internet. Like planes involved, that sort of thing, everytime I strfe a column of cars I could be hitting someone of histotical note.
His column was attacked by Spitfires iirc.
No planes involved but mines. So instead of looking up to the sky it would have been better to look down to the ground.
Actually AFAIK it was a combination of both.
He was attacked by Spitfires while in a vehicle, and in the course of attempting to avoid the strafing, ended up in a minefield.


When you obsessively mastermind a show like Breaking Bad through five molar-grinding seasons, you deserve a mini-vacation or two: It's just been announced that Vince Gilligan will shift gears rather dramatically early next year when he makes his onscreen debut as a guest star on NBC's Community.
According to Entertainment Weekly, he'll play "a smooth-talking gold digger who winds up exacerbating a fight between Annie (Alison Brie) and Abed (Danny Pudi)," in an episode that's being filmed this very week, and will air sometime "in late winter or early spring," a few months after the penultimate season premieres January 2. Jonathan Banks (a.k.a. Mike from Breaking Bad) is also going to be on the show, for a whopping 11 episodes, as – what else? – a criminology professor. Just based on character descriptions, it seems unlikely the two will interact on-camera, but we can at least dream.
Additionally, there's the potential for some sort of brilliant-show-creator rivalry thunderdome action going on here since Arrested Development creator Mitchell Hurwitz is also slated for a guest spot this season. The pair join the ranks of other announced cameos from folks like Tim and Eric, Ben Folds, Paget Brewster and Nathan Fillion.


President of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences Neil Portnow, left, and Jennifer Hudson speak at the 57th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2015, in Los Angeles.
While some of the biggest stars of the year were recognized at the 2018 Grammys, there was a noticeable lack of female winners at this year's ceremony.
The shortage of female representation was clear even before the award show began as many of the categories were dominated by male nominees, including "Album of the Year," which had four male contenders and one female--Lorde--in the running.
As the night concluded, viewers took notice as only one solo female nominee, "Best New Artist" winner Alessia Cara, ultimately accepted a gold statue during the broadcast for one of the top categories. #GrammysSoMale began to trend with fans and observers taking sides on the debate.
When asked about the hashtag, Recording Academy president Neil Portnow told Variety, "It has to begin with...women who have the creativity in their hearts and souls, who want to be musicians, who want to be engineers, producers, and want to be part of the industry on the executive level...[They need] to step up because I think they would be welcome."
As he continued, "I don't have personal experience of those kinds of brick walls that you face but I think it's upon us--us as an industry--to make the welcome mat very obvious, breeding opportunities for all people who want to be creative and paying it forward and creating that next generation of artists."
Meanwhile, the debate has only continued online, with some fans acknowledging the lack of representation while others argued perhaps the best artists this year happened to be men.


Renee Wilson is to take charge of MSLGroup North America, following the departure of Jim Tsokanos.
NEW YORK--Renee Wilson is to take charge of MSLGroup North America, following the departure of Jim Tsokanos.
Tsokanos departs the firm after 11 years for an "entrepreneurial venture." Wilson, who was named global chief client officer earlier this year, will assume her new role on 10 September.
"Renee has been part of our strategic succession plan for many years. Indeed her global perspective and previous experience as both chief client officer for the network, and managing director of the flagship New York office, make her the ideal executive to lead our operations in North America," said MSLGroup CEO Olivier Fleurot.
Tsokanos' tenure at the firm included running the Atlanta business, before becoming New York MD and then, eventually, president of the Americas region. He oversaw the integration of 17 operations into the MSLGroup network, along with the acquisition of Schwartz, and expansion of the firm's Latin American footprint.
"We accomplished a lot together," said Fleurot. "With the network transformation near complete, Jim felt this was the right time to pursue a new challenge that brings him closer to clients and meets his entrepreneurial passions. We have been discussing this for some time and worked on a transition together."
The network's operation in Latin America will continue to be managed by Paulo Andreoli, CEO of Andreoli MSL Brazil, who will now report directly to Olivier Fleurot.
The news comes amid a class-action gender discrimination lawsuit brought against MSLGroup by former executives. The firm has previously denied the claims, but declined to comment today on the ongoing litigation.

Book Review: Later by Stephen King
My second Stephen King book, Later has a nice blend of mystery, crime, and the occult.
Nov 5, 2021 BooksBookNotesBooksReviewFiction
Later is a Stephen King book that is part of the Hard Case Crime series, along The Colorado Kid and Joyland. It's a coming-of-age mystery with ghosts, so what's not to love?
The writing is great, with a good pacing for a book like that: not too rushed to give us time to feel the vibes (it's a ghost story mystery after all), but also not too slow to drive people of, or either too long that we feel like it's dragging. Just perfect pacing and length.
Jamie being the one telling us his story since the beginning made for a very pleasant reading experience. Like we should grab a cup of coffee (or glass of whiskey) and listen to him talk about his like.
It's also great to follow Jamie as he gets older and try to learn how to live with his ability. How his perceptions about it, about being able to see ghosts change over time, as he gets more mature, and things get more complicated.
By coincidence, that this is my second King book, and it also features a kid as the main character. What I have to say so far is that he does a great job at writing young characters, and their interactions with adults.
Some nice quotes:
So yeah, I see dead people. As far as I can remember, I always have. But it's not like in that movie with Bruce Willis.
Smart people know a lot, and maybe that makes them think they know everything.
He taught me a lot. But before the teaching, he listened.
Stephen King (2021)
The son of a struggling single mother, Jamie Conklin just wants an ordinary childhood. But Jamie is no ordinary child. Born with an unnatural ability his mom urges him to keep secret, Jamie can see what no one else can see and learn what no one else can learn. But the cost of using this ability is higher than Jamie can imagine - as he discovers when an NYPD detective draws him into the pursuit of a killer who has threatened to strike from beyond the grave.
