Amazing rail travel experiences to look forward to once lockdown has been lifted
Back to Travel tips
From day trips to short breaks, our pick of the very best UK rail excursions are sure to whet your appetite for adventure
As a nation, we love trains: they're in our blood. Rail journeys in the British Isles come in all shapes and sizes, and while you can't actually climb on board right now, there's no reason not to make plans for when you can – so here are some ideas to get you on track.
The playwright Stephen Poliakoff once eloquently summed up the unique nature of train travel, saying that one of its joys is the way countryside rolls past the window like a film at the cinema.
And Edna St Vincent Millay, who won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1923, wrote in her poem Travel: "Yet there isn't a train that I wouldn't take, no matter where it's going."

How many people have felt like that about a car or plane journey? Strap-hanging on a commuter train aside, train travel retains an aura of romance and provides the most relaxing and pleasurable way to experience landscapes. It's also the most sociable way to travel.
And more people are doing it: there has been a huge increase in the number of train-based holidays, as well as regular journeys, in the last two decades – partly to provide an alternative to flying. There are myriad ways you can incorporate railways into your holiday plans – here are some of them.
Luxury train travel
The glamorous stardust of Belmond's continental Orient Express (above) has been sprinkled over two 'hotel on wheels' trains in the British Isles. The elegant dark blue coaches of the Orient Express provide an authentic inter-war experience of train travel – which means for ablutions, you have only a discreet washbasin hidden in a cupboard in your compartment.
No such authenticity affects the Royal Scotsman and the Grand Hibernian (above), the sumptuously appointed trains that cruise Scotland and Ireland respectively. Their elegantly designed cabins have en-suite showers and loos, and the social hubs of the train, the lounge and bar cars, have an observation platform for bracing air and glass-free photography. The Royal Scotsman even has a spa car.
Day excursions
No less luxurious is Belmond's day train the British Pullman, made up of refurbished umber-and-cream coaches that once ran on services upholding the quality standards that George Mortimer Pullman made famous around the world. Departure stations include London Victoria, Truro and Penzance. As on all Belmond's trains, it is nothing short of miraculous that the tiny galley kitchens can produce such haute cuisine fare, served with style.
Hundreds of excursion trains to historic and seaside towns are operated by various other companies, some using steam traction and most offering the kind of dining experience that is only a memory on national rail services. Scenic routes are chosen wherever possible, such as the Settle–Carlisle or the Heart of Wales lines.
Steam Dreams offers day trips from London terminuses and cities and towns in the south of England. Pathfinder Tours organises dozens of day and weekend tours from stations broadly in the south-west and Midlands, though they stretch as far east as Reading. The Railway Touring Company's steam-hauled trains begin at over a dozen English and Welsh stations.
Saphos Trains departures from the north-west and West Country, while most of Vintage Trains' excursions begin in the West Midlands and include the Shakespeare Express, a regular summer Sunday service between Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon.
There are almost 200 heritage railway and tramway attractions around the British Isles, ranging from long miniature railways such as the Bure Valley in Norfolk to the 20-mile standard-gauge West Somerset Railway (above). Many of these railways offer the experience of stepping back in time and travelling in 19th-century carriages.
Besides the visceral sight and sound of steam trains, some provide useful transport through connections with the national rail network, such as the Swanage or North Yorkshire Moors railways, along with the various narrow-gauge lines that thread the Snowdonia National Park.
Rail-based holidays
A growing number of travel companies are offering holidays that avoid flights, and a few specialise in itineraries based around scenic railways and escorted by an experienced tour manager. Rail Discoveries is offering 36 tours of between four and 17 days around the UK and Ireland in 2020 – all take in at least one heritage railway or scenic national rail journey, but most rely on coaches for other visits, so the rail component can be quite small.
Offering a high standard of accommodation, most of Great Rail Journeys' 27 escorted holidays this year, lasting from five to 14 days, offer numerous departure dates. They also use coaches for parts of the itinerary, but take national rail journeys as well as heritage railways wherever feasible. Railtrail's 29 escorted holidays (four to 12 days) follow a similar pattern, as do Ffestiniog Travel's four UK and Irish tours, one offering the chance to drive steam and electric trains on the Isle of Man.
Websites make it easy to arrange independent holidays, tailor-making your own itinerary with greater use of rail travel, perhaps using one of 90 regional, local or line passes to save time and money.
There are innumerable scenic lines all over Britain and Ireland, many supported by community rail partnerships that look after stations and their gardens, arrange and promote walks from stations and foster a sense of local involvement in the places they serve.
Scenic Rail Britain has a fund of ideas about what to see and do from individual stations. If you want someone else to arrange everything for you, Ffestiniog Travel can devise and book national and worldwide rail-based tours around individual interests.
With all these options – and that's just the British Isles – why not get your holiday plans on track?
Five of the best railway-based novels
La Bête Humaine
Throughout Émile Zola's tale of infidelity, jealousy and revenge, his naturalistic storytelling brilliantly captures the atmosphere of the steam railway in what is possibly the most gripping of his novels.
This surely requires no introduction but did you know that Agatha Christie relished her trans-European train journeys to archaeological digs in the Middle East?
Alfred Hitchcock's famous screen adaptation may be better known but Patricia Highsmith's 1950 thriller is a compelling read.
The Signalman
Dickens' short ghost story, published in 1866, dramatised by the BBC in 1976 and usually screened over Christmas.
The Railway Children
Though written for children, Edith Nesbit's classic can be enjoyed at any age.
National Rail tips
• Buy in advance for off-peak trains and the price may be a pleasant surprise. The best way to save is with a railcard (16–25, Senior, Family & Friends, etc); their cost can be recouped in a couple of journeys.
• An end to the anomalies and potential savings of split tickets is promised but, until then, check possible savings here
• If you're travelling in one area over several days, look at the local and regional rail passes on offer at Rail Rover, which arranges them alphabetically or by area. These can save you money as well as the time spent buying individual tickets.
• Download the free National Rail app. It gives timetable and real-time train running information and even tells you the platform number you need.
Four of the best UK rail trips
The Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways
These two narrow-gauge railways thread the wild mountains of Snowdonia and provide the most relaxing way to appreciate their beauty. The Ffestiniog's (from £26.40 return) purpose was to carry slate from the quarries at Blaenau Ffestiniog down to Porthmadog, while the Welsh Highland (from £43 return) runs from Porthmadog to a striking new station a stone's throw from the walls of Caernarfon Castle.
Steam locomotives from South Africa haul the Welsh Highland trains through the majestic gorge of the Aberglaslyn Pass, while the Ffestiniog still has its 19th-century veterans, supplemented by more recent replicas. The intermediate stations provide access to fine walks – and don't miss a visit to Llechwedd Slate Caverns. Full-distance tickets can be booked ahead.
The Jacobite
The line from Fort William to Mallaig is one of the most celebrated stretches of railway in Britain, used as a scene during Hogwarts Express journeys in the Harry Potter films and by a spring-to-autumn steam train that supplements the service trains. Leaving the shadow of Ben Nevis, The Jacobite (£43 return) skirts the water of Loch Eil and climbs to the familiar curve of the Glenfinnan Viaduct, with views over the monument to the disastrous 1745 Jacobite uprising.
Glenfinnan's station is a good place to break the journey, with its small museum and summer café. Inland views across mountains dotted with sheep pounds and stone cottages vie with seaward panoramas over the Small Isles of Muck, Eigg and Rum, the water often an emerald green.
Belmond trains
The company that has become a byword for quality train experiences has translated the skills derived from running the Venice Simplon-Orient Express to three trains in the British Isles. The British Pullman (from £235) offers a programme of day excursions to cultural sights and events with sumptuous meals en route.
There is no more luxurious way to enjoy Scotland than the themed cruises aboard the Royal Scotsman (from £2,850), with lounge and bar car as well as opulent dining cars. Themed tours focus on food, scenic splendours, whisky and heritage homes and gardens. The Grand Hibernian (from £3,300) tours Ireland for up to seven days with similar themes and the same level of comfort and facilities as its Scottish counterpart.
The Settle and Carlisle railway
Travelling this magnificent railway (£29 return from Leeds to Carlisle), it's hard to believe it came within a whisker of being closed. These days, it takes freight off the roads and carries hundreds of thousands of passengers every year to enjoy the dramatic hills of the Yorkshire Dales.
Summer and winter, most trains have a complement of booted walkers bound for the many hikes across the fells from stations. The stationmaster's house at the southern end of the Ribblehead viaduct is now a holiday cottage, with only the nearby Station Inn for company. Moorland scenery and the peaks of Ingleborough and Wild Boar Fell give way to pasture and stone-walled fields as the train drops down the Eden Valley towards journey's end at Carlisle.

The Vegan Delicious promotes an eco-friendly lifestyle through bicycle commuting, vegetarianism/veganism, organic-local foods and products, recycling, composting and supporting local business.
I hope this blog encourages people to try new things and explore new animal-free food options for a healthier lifestyle and planet. Many of my recipes also are gluten-free or have gluten-free variations for those with Celiac disease or allergies or just looking to take a break from gluten. I am also make most recipes nut-free.
I work full time as a professional massage therapist in private practice in Arlington, MA having graduated form The Muscular Therapy Institute in 1998. I hold a MA State license, National Certification and Professional Membership to the AMTA. I specialize in Sports Massage, Deep Tissue, Prenatal Massage, Thai Yoga Massage and Orthopedic Massage techniques. I have worked with many amateur and professional athletes, injury and illness rehabilitation and individuals with chronic stress, tension or pain and women in all stages of pregnancy.
In addition to bodywork, I also teach yoga locally and in private sessions. I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training through Boston Yoga School in 2014, Yin Yoga teacher training with Josh Summers in 2012 and Prenatal Yoga training with Barrett Reinhorn in 2015.
When not cooking, doing bodywork + yoga, I can be found on my bike. I have been a Professional cyclist competing Internationally in cyclocross since 2003, member of the USA National Team at the World Championships in 2006 and 2010 and competed in 16 World Cup races. I currently hold the title for the USA Single Speed National Champion and Single Speed World Champion.
I want to create delicious vegan food that is more than merely fuel for the body but also an experience to savor as well as showing that eating a well-balanced vegan diet can be part of a strong, healthy, vibrant lifestyle.
As the granddaughter of an Italian Nana, we always use the stove top or oven year round to make whole meals, no matter how hot it gets! I do eat a lot of fresh salads in the summer and only cook up a protein on the stovetop (tofu, tempeh or seitan) however, you can eat tofu raw as well.
I'll be posting some salads up soon.
no recipe book, just this blog. i reference several books in my recipes that i recommend!
I am a vegan and a avid cyclist (100 + miles per week) this year we are doing some agressive Mountain races ending with a 7day 500 mile Alps ride in Switzerland. what do you recommend for food to keep the energy level up for these 7 and 8 hour hill rides….
I'll look into this and try to see if I can get it working. Thanks!
Do you have a non dairy tzatzki recipe? Also snacks in general, I am looking for things to make for the kids that they can grab and go!
Here is a recipe from Minimalist Baker (also check out her amazing blog and cookbook) https://minimalistbaker.com/6-ingredient-vegan-tzatziki/ I don't love coconut yogurt so I would try this recipe with Kite Hill plain, unsweetened almond yogurt. Homemade cashew yogurt (recipe on my blog) may also work! As for snacks, I don't tend to make many other than fresh raw fruits and veg. Anything specific the kids would like? Breakfast on the go? After sport snacks? Thx!


At the heart of Alexandria on the Potomac River waterfront, Old Town is one of the most sought after North Virginia addresses. Old Town uniquely balances its rich history with the comforts and modern conveniences of an urban city. The well-preserved historic district is best known for its charming townhouses lining quaint cobblestone streets but also offers more traditional single-family homes as well as contemporary condos on the waterfront. Read more about Old Town.
Once home to George Washington and Robert E. Lee, the cobblestone streets now hum with tourists and shoppers flocking to the Old Town Boutique District, named by the Wall Street Journal as featuring "some of the best galleries in the DC region." Old Town is also a foodie's dream with all sorts of fine dining options ranging from trendy bistro to historic tavern to accommodate any palate or occasion. The area is divided into four quadrants -- NE, NW, SE, and SW -- comprising neighborhoods such as Potowmack Crossing, Old Town Greens, and St. Asaph Square. With its borders along the River, Old Town offers a number of parks and trails that offer scenic views as a backdrop to a heart-pumping run or bike ride.
Located just across the Potomac from the District and minutes from the airport, Old Town is convenient for commuters and served by the King Street Metro on the Blue/Yellow Line. Old Town is bordered by Slater's Lane to the north, the Beltway to the south and the Potomac River on the west.

Tibetan opera
© The Culture Department in Tibet Autonomous Region of P.R. of China, 2008
Tibetan opera, the most popular traditional opera of minority ethnic groups in China, is a comprehensive art combining folk song, dance, storytelling, chant, acrobatics and religious performance. Most popular in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in western China, the performance begins with a prayer ceremony, including the cleansing of the stage by hunters and blessings by the elder, and concludes with another blessing. The heart of the opera is a drama narrated by a single speaker and enacted by performers supported by groups of singers, dancers and acrobats. Actors wear traditional masks of a variety of shapes and colours that contrast with their simple makeup. Performances may take place in public squares or temples (or, today, on stage), with the centre of the space marked by a tree placed on the ground, wrapped in colourful paper and surrounded by purified water and theatrical props. Rooted in Buddhist teachings, the stories told in Tibetan opera recount the triumph of good and the punishment of evil and therefore serve a social teaching function for the community. This multifaceted representative of Tibetan art and cultural heritage also acts as a bridge among Tibetans in different parts of the country, promoting ethnic unity and pride.

We're proud to announce that Trinity has been awarded the Harvard University Graduate Commons project at One Western Avenue. We'll be partnering with Northstar Project & Real Estate Services, DiMella Shaffer and Cosentini Associates to provide the residents of One Western Avenue with fresh and vibrant updates to the building's common spaces.
Work will include renovations to the existing Common Room to create a more welcoming gathering space that will function as a presentation/meeting space, an event location or a group study area, with a relaxed fireplaced TV lounge and a full kitchen for catering or student use. Additionally, the project includes the creation of a children's playroom where families will be able to bring their children for play time away from their living spaces.

Musk oversaw misleading 2016 video saying Tesla drove itself
Musk published a blog post on Tesla's website on October 19, the day before the video went up, that said all Tesla cars from that day forward would ship with the hardware necessary for full self-driving capability. His emails to staff that month discussed the importance of a demonstration drive to promote the system.
Musk's direct involvement in the video, and subsequent promotion of Tesla vehicles' abilities to drive themselves, comes at a time when the executive's reputation and trustworthiness are increasingly at stake. In addition to his Twitter distractions, Musk also promised during Tesla's Q3 investor call that the automaker would have an "epic end of year," yet Tesla ended up missing Wall Street Q4 delivery estimates. On top of that, the company's stock was down 65% in 2022.
Musk is also poised to take the stand this week in a class-action lawsuit from shareholders who say his infamous 2018 tweet claiming that funding had been secured to take the company public — it wasn't — caused them to lose potentially billions of dollars. The jury will determine whether Musk knowingly, and thus fraudulently, claimed secured funding when it hadn't been.
'An amazing Autopilot demo drive'
On October 11, Musk sent an email under the subject line "The Absolute Priority" letting the Autopilot team know that he had canceled his plans for the upcoming weekend to work on the video.
"Just want to be absolutely clear that everyone's top priority is achieving an amazing Autopilot demo drive," Musk said in the email, according to Bloomberg. "Since this is a demo, it is fine to hardcode some of it, since we will backfill with production code later in an OTA update," he wrote, referring to the use of a 3D digital map that the Model X used to follow a pre-determined route.
"I will be telling the world that this is what the car *will* be able to do, not that it can do this upon receipt," he continued.
Despite that promise, the internal emails show that Musk himself asked the Autopilot team to open the video with the words: "The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself."

NORVALSPONT IN THE ANGLO-BOER WAR 1899-1901 [ By WINNIE WEST ]
When Generals Lemmer, Grobler and Olivier retreated from the Cape Colony and the Colesberg district with their men, they damaged the railway bridges across the Orange River. When Bloemfontein fell to the English, the British were dependent on the bridges for supplies and feed for their horses. Therefore, at the end of March 1900, the English started repairing the bridges across the Orange River, among them the bridge at Norvalspont and Bethulie. The wagon-bridge at Bethulie was too weak to carry full-laden trains, thus the only other crossing-point was a pont-bridge built by the army, at Norvalspont. Soldiers were stationed in the koppies nearby to guard the bridges.
When Pretoria fell to the English, they were certain the war was over. Meanwhile Pres. Kruger left the country because he was getting too old to survive as a renegade. President Steyn was under the protection of the legendary General Christiaan de Wet, and even the building of Block-houses and the full attention of the British forces could not corner the President's company. The Boers continued with Guerilla warfare, the never enders received enough food and clothing from farms worked by women, children and loyal black workers. In August of 1900, the British forces started destroying farmhouses and all means of life. Women and children were left in the veldt without shelter or food. The next step was to place women, children and old men in camps. Many were taken to these camps against their will.
These concentration camps were always established near British army bases, to be guarded by the soldiers. Three women-camps were situated on the southern banks of the Orange River, among them the camp at Norvalspont.
On 25 February 1901 Lieutenant S. Cole-Bowen was appointed as Superintendent of Norvalspont, and took over the command from Captain Du Plat Taylor of the Grenadier Guards. Concentration camps were no longer under the management of the army, but under civil management. The camp at Norvalspont was already in existence since October 1900. After Lt. Bowen was promoted, Mr. Hemans was appointed as Superintendent.
The women-camp at Norvalspont was described by Emily Hobhouse as the best women-camp, but even here people died due to of the unnatural circumstances in which they had to live. Mr. Bowen tried to make every family as comfortable as possible, but the flood of people made it impossible to provide to every person's need.
The camp at Norvalspont was situated partly on the farm of Mr. James Norval on the southern bank, near enough for people to gather firewood on the riverbank. When the wood in the area became scarce, coal was supplied. Water from a fountain was fed into tanks which were filled regularly, and supplied clean, fresh water. Washing was done in the river. A school was opened in the camp, and accommodated 500 children by the end of July 1901, with Mr. Erasmus as Headmaster and 10 assistants.
Everything was painfully neat. Mr. Bowen supplied cutlery and a mattress with bedding to every person in the camp. Every tent received a table, and men were appointed to create pots and pans from tins. At first vegetables, fruit, enough fresh meat, fresh milk, jam and candles were supplied to the people, but the sheer number of people became so overwhelming that as from January 1901 rations were reduced so that only meat and flour was provided.
Shops in the camp had groceries, fruit and vegetables to offer for sale. People who rendered services in the camp were residents who swore to an oath of allegiance and neutrality, but many women had no husbands to work, and had no income to add anything to their rations of porridge and meat. Later fruit and vegetable gardens were planted to provide to the residents' needs. A soup kitchen was established to supply a cup of soup daily to every child in the camp
A shoe shop saw to it that every resident had a pair of shoes in good order. Clothes were handed out to those who arrived at the camp without any.
Dr. Michie, an army doctor, stayed on at the camp as Head Medical Officer. In the beginning of August 1901, the second hospital was built. Each hospital had its own Medical Officer and personnel. When the general health of the camp improved, the two hospitals were amalgamated. Miss Broers was one of two nurses sent from Holland to South Africa. Due to her competence the hospital was managed trough a measles epidemic. Training was provided to nurses, all of who were residents of the camp. The measles epidemic caused the most deaths, and was associated with lung diseases caused by sleeping on the cold, damp ground.
Emily Hobhouse wrote in her report on the camp that, even though she slept in a marquee tent with a double layer of canvas, her bedding was always soaking wet in the morning from the dew.
During the day the temperature rose to 104° Fahrenheit, and she mentioned that in the clock-tents the temperature rose to between 108 and 110° Fahrenheit. She also wrote that the doctor could not use his thermometer, because the mercury did not drop.
The tents in the camp were placed in straight lines, with streets and roads marked with stones painted white. As in all the other camps, clock-tents were used similar to those used for soldier accommodation. According to custom, 15 people had to be housed per tent, as was the rule for troops. There were fourteen big marquee tents that housed between eleven and fourteen persons, which included one or two families. A few buildings were erected from raw bricks made in the camp. Here at Norvalspont we find that at first only five people to a tent were permitted, but later it was necessary to pack as many people as possible in a tent, sometimes as many as fifteen.
Ds. vd Merwe performed daily sermons on the hill, where a large rock did service as a pulpit. The church-goers sat on rocks on the slopes of the hill.
In June 1901 there were 500 black people in a black concentration camp under management of the Superintendent of the white camp. In February 1901 there were 400 prisoners of war, sent from Green Point after taking the oath. Many prisoners on parole escaped from the different camps, and rejoined the civil forces.
Death-figures were only recorded from January 1901, and by July 1901, four hundred and twelve people died in the Norvelspont camp. Since June 1901, there were more than three thousand people in the camp, in February 1902 there were three thousand four hundred and seventy-nine residents.

Q: Meaning of the word "FOR" used at the beginning of a sentence I have encountered the word for many times. But, even if I use the dictionary, I can not understand the meaning of this word used at the beginning of a sentence.
Here is an example:

It would be an excellent match. For he was rich and she was handsome.

Does it always mean because?

A: *

*If for is followed by a finite clause (a clause headed by a tensed verbform), it means because, as in your example:

? For he was rich and she was handsome.

This is, by the way, only marginally acceptable in formal writing, since for acts to subordinate the clause which follows it, just as because does. You can get away with it if the register you are working in tolerates sentence fragments, but otherwise your example would be better pointed with a comma:

okIt would be an excellent match, for he was rich and she was handsome.

Note that unlike a because clause, a for clause of this sort cannot in Modern English precede the matrix clause which it modifies:

∗ For he was rich and she was handsome, it would be an excellent match.

*If for is followed by an NP (a phrase headed by, and acting as, a noun), for is a preposition and the NP is its object. Together they comprise a preposition phrase, which may stand at the beginning of a sentence:

For most people, this would be an excellent match.

*If for is followed by a non-finite clause headed by a marked infinitive (to + VERBINF), it acts as a complementizer, marking the clause which follows it as an argument of the verb in the matrix clause; if it lies at the beginning of a sentence that clause will normally act as the subject of the verb in the governing clause:

For these two to marry would be an excellent match.

Such for ... to clauses may also act as the object of a verb, noun, adjective or adverb, but in these cases for will not lie at the beginning of the sentence:

He was eager for these two to marry.
  We saw little opportunity for these two to marry.

∗ indicates that the following utterance is unacceptable.
? indicates that the following utterance is in some cases unacceptable.

Laboratory of Biochemistry and Genetics
Genetics of Organelle Biogenesis Section
Section Chief: Kevin F. O'Connell, Ph.D.
Lab Menu
Lab Home
The Genetics of Organelle Biogenesis Section studies the biogenesis and function of centrosomes, non-membrane-bound organelles that organize the microtubule cytoskeleton into large macromolecular machines such as the mitotic spindle and cilia.
We seek to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern the number and size of centrosomes. These non-membranes bound organelles play a central role in cell growth, division, signaling, and motility and are present at one to two copies per cell. Although defects in centrosome structure and number can have catastrophic effects on cell division and genome integrity, much remains to be learned about how the number and assembly of centrosomes is controlled.
Our current research focusing on identifying and characterizing genes required for assembly of the two components of the centrosome; the centrioles and the pericentriolar material. Our long-term goal is to define in molecular term, the regulatory networks that govern the number and size of centrosomes.
Our lab wants to understand how cells control centrosome number and size as these parameters are critically important for proper cell growth, and division. To address these questions, we use the small nematode worm C. elegans as a simple animal model system. Most worm genes have human counterparts and thus our identification of genes that control centrosome number and size in the worm can inform us about analogous processes that operate in humans. During the last decade, it has become increasingly apparent that defects in centrosome number and size are associated with a variety of human diseases and thus a more complete understanding of how the centrosome is regulated will allow us to better understand how diseases arise as a result of centrosome dysfunction.

Actors / Star Trek: TNG / TV Shows
"Star Trek: TNG" – S3, E15 ("Yesterday's Enterprise")
May 20, 2020 May 21, 2020 Emma1 Comment
This is one of the top-rated (also fan fave) eps of Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG); I've seen it 3x over the years. At the 50th anniversary Star Trek convention in Las Vegas in August 2016, fans voted this the 5th best ep of the franchise. It's well-written (despite having 6 different writers- incl. a young Ronald D. Moore), tense (w/ great music and innovative direction), thrilling, and includes an element that Star Trek doesn't usually do well (romance). Our heroes on the Enterprise-D see a "temporal rift" opening in space, which Data (Brent Spiner) thinks could be unstable. Lt. Tasha Yar (Denise Crosby) is alive in this alternate timeline where the Federation is in a 20+ yr. war w/ the Klingons! Lt. Worf- being a Klingon- is not there; Michael Dorn had a fun scene in the opening of the ep w/ Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg). This is the ep where he gets introduced to "warrior" drink (prune juice)- LOL!
Capt. Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Cmdr. Riker (Jonathan Frakes) don't like each other. I esp. liked the (dark) lighting used on the bridge. The uniforms are a bit different (militaristic); the crew wears silver belts on their hips (which holds phasers). We hear "battle alert" followed by a "condition" (either yellow or red). Unlike the Captain's log and Stardates, Picard records a Military log using "combat dates." This is the first time Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) is seen wearing a Starfleet uniform.
The world we know changed when the Enterprise-C traveled 22 yrs. in the future commanded by (a lady boss) Capt. Garrett (Tricia O'Neil). The actress does a terrific job; many fans noted that she paved the way for Capt. Janeway on Voyager. Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden) tells her to rest longer in sick bay, but she's a tough cookie (insisting that her crew needs her). I esp. liked the scene w/ Garrett and Picard on her ship's bridge; he lowers his voice at one point to admit that the war is going worse than commonly known. O'Neil later played a Klingon in TNG (Suspicions) and a Cardassian in DS9 (Defiant).
Lt. Castillo (Christopher McDonald), the helmsman under Garrett, is wowed by the tech, incl. modern weaponry. He learns much from Tasha as they spend the day together; they start to develop feelings for each other. As some viewers noted, their relationship happens naturally (unlike what you'd expect from episodic TV). I learned that McDonald was one of the top actors vying for the role of Riker- no wonder he fits in so well in this episode! The costumes worn by the crew of the Enterprise-C may look familiar to movie fans; these are similar to designs on Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (which I watched recently).
Guinan knows something is wrong, though she can't explain exactly what to Picard (who gets rather mad at her). After seeing Nichelle Nichols as Uhura in TOS as a young girl (and getting very inspired), Goldberg vowed that she'd be part of the Star Trek world someday. Tasha notices that Guinan is acting weird around her; it's b/c they were never meant to know each other. In time, Picard realizes that the Enterprise-C must return to its own time/place to restore the original timeline. They would (most likely) die defending a Klingon outpost against the Romulans, but could prevent a war.
We brought Denise Crosby back to kill off Tasha Yar a second time. It was a great opportunity to send the character off in a big heroic sacrifice because nobody was really happy with the way she left the series in the first season. Nobody on the show really liked it, the fans didn't like it, I'm not sure even she really liked it. So "Yesterday's Enterprise" was a chance to kill her right. -Ron Moore

One thought on ""Star Trek: TNG" – S3, E15 ("Yesterday's Enterprise")"
Agree– this is a fave of mine, too.


Given the ubiquity of word processors, most people are probably familiar with points from the context of font sizes. One point is equal to 1/72nd of an inch, or 0.3528 millimetres. Such a tiny unit of measurement is particularly useful in typography, which requires very meticulous adjustment.
Picas are a duodecimal unit of measurement, which means that they consist of 12 parts; one pica is equal to 12 points, which amounts to 1/6th of an inch or 4.2333 millimetres. A measurement in picas is written with a lowercase P distinguishing between whole picas and the remaining points. 1p6, for instance, describes 1.5 picas, or 18 points.

Former Columbus mayor pleads guilty to bank fraud in real estate development case
COLUMBUS, Wis. (AP) — The former mayor of Columbus has pleaded guilty to bank fraud charges in federal court.
Michael Eisenga was accused of fraudulently obtaining a nearly $7 million loan for a grocery store development in Columbus.
"Unfortunately, it's all true, your honor," Eisenga, 49, told U.S. District Judge William Conley at a virtual plea hearing Thursday.
"What I did, your honor, was I created a fake lease showing that there was a lease between a third-party grocery chain and the LLC that owned the grocery store building," Eisenga said. "And I used that to obtain financing from Alliant Credit Union. I knew at the time that I did that that the lease was a false lease and that I did not, in fact, have a lease with that grocery store chain."

1. Guess which party he's from!
That's right...
The indictment alleges that Michael Eisenga, who as a major GOP donor about 10 years ago had enlisted state Republican legislators to change state law that would have reduced his child support payments, took out a loan from an Illinois credit union for commercial property in Columbus under false pretenses.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — A company has cut ties with a California minor league baseball team that played a Memorial Day video that included an image of Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with images of Kim Jong Un and Fidel Castro.
The Fresno Bee reports the raisin company Sun-Maid terminated its sponsorship of the Fresno Grizzlies on Wednesday.
The company acknowledged the Grizzlies apologized but said terminating the sponsorship was the right thing to do.
The Triple-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals has said it failed to properly vet the video found on YouTube.
The video has patriotic images and excerpts from President Ronald Reagan's first inaugural speech.
When Reagan mentions "enemies of freedom," the video shows the North Korean leader, Ocasio-Cortez of New York and the late Cuban leader.

John Krasinski Confirms 'A Quiet Place 2' Release Will Be Delayed Due to Coronavirus
If you were planning on going to watch Emily Blunt battle noise-sensitive aliens next week, you're going to have to put a pin in it — John Krasinski just confirmed that A Quiet Place 2 will have a delayed release due to growing concerns over the coronavirus. The highly anticipated sequel, which was originally slated to hit North American theaters on March 20, does not currently have a new release date.
Director (and first installment star) Krasinski took to Instagram on Thursday to update fans on the status of the sequel. "To all our A Quiet Place fans, One of the things I'm most proud of is that people have said our movie is one you have to see all together. Well due to the ever-changing circumstances of what's going on in the world around us, now is clearly not the time to do that," he said, continuing, "As insanely excited as we are for all of you to see this movie… I'm gonna wait to release the film til we CAN all see it together! So here's to our group movie date! See you soon!"
Paramount also issued a statement regarding the delay, citing coronavirus restrictions on travel and public gatherings as part of their thought process. "We believe in and support the theatrical experience, and we look forward to bringing this film to audiences this year once we have a better understanding of the impact of this pandemic on the global theatrical marketplace," said the studio.
AQuietPlacePart2…Take2
A post shared by John Krasinski (@johnkrasinski) on Mar 12, 2020 at 7:52am PDT
A Quiet Place 2 isn't the only feature-length film opting to wait out the coronavirus before releasing. Sony pushed Peter Rabbit 2 back by five months earlier this week, and MGM/Eon/Universal postponed the James Bond installment No Time to Die all the way to November 25.
Krasinski's update also comes on the heels of news that Hollywood couple Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have both tested positive for COVID-19 (coronavirus). They are currently in Australia filming Baz Luhrmann's untitled Elvis Presley movie in which Hanks plays Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker. It's unclear at this time how the production schedule of the biopic may be affected.

She grew up loving to doodle, taking photos, and writing poetry as a way to express the feelings within her. Unfortunately, her world came to a crash through extreme depression. Recovery however was her breakthrough and she found herself loving to create and help others even more by listening and becoming a voice and advocate for mental wellness and being.
The road to rediscovering her spiritual and mental wellness, led to a deeper discovery of her natural abilities and talents in drawing, painting, pottery, prints, poetry and more. After trying her hand at many mediums, acrylic pouring and acrylic painting is what she uses today for her paintings. The world would try to give her a label and call her art abstract modern expressionism with African expressions of nature. However, Althea sees her art as a spirit, a reflection of her and her journey, that is now seen visually as an expressive art form.
