Wilbur Shaw, Historic, Class of 1991
Warren Wilbur Shaw at age 5 won his first race riding a goat at the county fair. He would go on to become one of the greatest open-wheel racers in history, winning the Indianapolis 500 three times and helping save the Speedway from being sold as an industrial park after World War II.
Wilbur started racing in the early 1920's and finished fourth in his first try at Indianapolis. In 1931 he drove a Duesenberg over the third turn wall, wiping out the car. Suffering only bruises, Shaw later relieved the driver of an identical team car. Competitors were stunned when Shaw's "ghost" passed them again in turn three, this time staying on the track.
The turning point in his career came in 1936 when he decided that ownership of his cars was key to winning the annual classic. After placing seventh in that year's "500", leading in a dominant role, he returned to win in 1937.
Impressed with the European machinery at the Roosevelt Raceway revivals of the Vanderbilt Cup, he persuaded Mike Boyle, A Chicago industrialist, to sponsor a Maserati, which was altered for the Speedway, with everything offset to the left. Shaw won the 1939 and 1940 races in the car and was leading by 5 laps in 1941 when a wheel hub broke. He hit the wall, fracturing three of his spinal vertebrae.
During World War II he worked as an aviation sales manager for Firestone. The 9-to-5 routine nearly drove him crazy and may have partly been a factor in spurring his rescue efforts for the old Speedway, when Eddie Rickenbacker lost interest and wanted to use the land as an industrial site.
Wilbur pursued Tony Hulman to buy the track and, as Speedway president, Shaw struggled to put on the 1946 race. Ultimately, he marshalled enough cars and drivers, hustled the Speedway into reasonable shape and organized a workable Speedway staff. The throng that jammed through the gates on Memorial Day foreshadowed a glorious destiny.
Armed with Hollywood good looks, right down to his pencil thin mustache, and his dynamic personality, Shaw was a superb communicator. He became an ambassador to the automobile industry whose allegiance he felt was essential to the future of his sport.
When his private plane went down in 1954 on one of his many sojourns to Detroit, the future of auto racing and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway had been assured, as had Wilbur Shaw's place in history.

NEW DELHI: A news website on Tuesday claimed that primary promoters of DHFL, a housing finance institution, siphoned off over Rs 31,000 crore of public money through loans and advances to shell companies and other means to create private wealth for themselves.
"The scam has been pulled off mainly by sanctioning and disbursing astronomical amounts in secured and unsecured loans to dubious shell/pass-through companies related to DHFL's own primary stakeholders Kapil Wadhawan, Aruna Wadhawan and Dheeraj Wadhawan through their proxies and associates, which have in turn passed the money on to companies controlled by the Wadhawans," Cobrapost editor Aniruddha Bahaltold a press conference here.
In a panel discussion that followed the press conference, former Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha demanded a multi-disciplinary SIT probe into the alleged scam. He said if even after all this a probe was not ordered, then it would prove that people at the top were "party to it".
Recollecting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi used to say that neither would he indulge in corruption nor would allow anyone else to do so, Sinha said first it was IL&FS where Rs 95,000 crore "will not come back" and now it was DHFL where Rs 31,000 will not be recovered.
Alleging complicity of regulatory institutions like RBI, SEBI, Company Law Board, credit rating agencies and the Income Tax department, activist lawyer Prashant Bhushan said a "nexus of holy cows" had been created in the financial system.
Bahal alleged that the money had been used to buy shares and other private assets in India and abroad, including in countries like the UK, Dubai, Sri Lanka and Mauritius.
"By lending to shell or pass-through companies without due diligence, DHFL has ensured that the recovery of such dubious loans is impossible since the companies or their directors themselves don't own any assets," he said, adding the private assets acquired by Wadhawans and their associates using the siphoned off funds were completely "ring-fenced" from any recovery process.
Bahal said the scam was exposed by closely scrutinizing public records available with the government authorities and information available in public domain.
He said that with net worth of Rs 8,795 crore, DHFL had taken loans from banks and financial institutions to the tune of Rs 96,880 crore and had disbursed Rs 84,982 crore in loans and advances to other entities.
"Thus the only losers in the process would be the public sector banks, such as the SBI and Bank of Baroda, with an exposure of over Rs 11,000 crore and Rs 4,000 crore respectively, foreign banks and shareholders from among the public or investors of DHFL," he said.
He said there had been serious violations of several civil and criminal laws and regulations and a massive deviation both from the industry practice on the lending policy and from good corporate governance norms of the company.
"It is a clear case of complete connivance amongst public and private figures," he said.
In its investigation, Cobrapost identified 45 companies allegedly used by Wadhawans as vehicles to siphon off funds from DHFL which were given loans in excess of Rs 14,282 crore.
"Out of these, 34 companies are so dubious that most of them have no business of income. More often than not, they are audited by the same accounting agencies, helping them hide all the fraudulent transactions," Bahal said, adding that many of those companies operate from same addresses and are run by the same group of initial directors.
"Given the debt of exposure of the company to the tune of Rs 96,880 crore, what Cobrapost has unearthed may just be the tip of the iceberg. The true scale of the scam can be arrived at only after investigative agencies conduct a thorough forensic audit of the money trail," he said.


When Madnav was in Italy, he meet one of the owners of the art gallery Daniel Nijs at Cavallino, Rina dal Canton. She asked Madnav to make a painting for her next side-exhibition for the Biennale. The subject hat to be Pinocchio. So he made this painting called Pinocchio.

Boarding Schools in Westminster, CO
WinGate Wilderness Therapy is a top wilderness program helping troubled teens from Westminster, CO, struggling with substance abuse and addiction. Without the interruptions and distractions of a traditional setting or Boarding School, therapeutic treatment in the wilderness has both a greater impact and chance for lasting change.
Although WinGate Wilderness Therapy may be located outside of the area of Westminster, CO, WinGate accepts troubled teens from all areas of the country. For the best results, WinGate recommends that parents consider sending their teens away from problematic peers who may be a bad influence.
WinGate offers a nurturing, yet challenging environment that provides troubled teens with the ability to grow, gain a positive perspective, and achieve a higher level of maturity, while also addressing their exact behavioral problems and issues. WinGate utilizes a Strengths-Based/Natural Consequence Model (The Wingate Model) that constructively empowers teens while helping them look past their previous bad behaviors to become the person they are truly meant to be. We believe that when positive actions are rewarded by positive natural consequences, it internally motivates teens to act in constructive ways.
Wilderness therapy often proves to be successful for troubled teens that have completed traditional programs without success. A number of studies have found that the healing environment of wilderness therapy benefits teens suffering from addictions, substance abuse, personality disorders, ADD/ ADHD, anxiety, and lack of motivation. Using a variety of therapeutic approaches, including adventure therapy and behavior modification, based on the Arbinger "Choice" philosophy, WinGate teaches troubled teens how to see people as people, as opposed to objects. We also gently shift them from seeing others as a vehicle to getting what they want.
Our experienced WinGate Wilderness Therapy consultants are currently available to assist and guide the parents of struggling teens. Call (800) 560-1599 today!
Westminster, CO Boarding Schools Alternative
When dealing with a troubled teen boy, it can be tempting to send him to boarding school and hope for the best. However, many teens, whether they are struggling with depression, defiance, promiscuity, substance abuse, or a variety of other conditions, respond better to wilderness therapy. In a study reported in the Journal of Therapeutic Schools and Programs, researchers found that youths in these programs had a significant improvement in behavior and mood during treatment, and that their progress continued after they've returned home.
In the past, WinGate has helped even the most resistant teens open up to treatment, admit their struggles with substance abuse, and make a commitment to change. In addition, we have helped teens paralyzed by anxiety and depression finally find serenity and contentment.
WinGate Wilderness Therapy is a leading wilderness therapy program that is based on the philosophies taught by the Arbinger Institute, a program that has helped thousands of individuals transform their performance and effectiveness since being founded in 1979. Instead of confrontation, we believe in cooperation. While at WinGate, teens are taught to look past their previous destructive behaviors in order to see who they really are.
At WinGate, we believe that teens need to experience the consequences of their choices, both positive and negative. By giving them choices, troubled teens are able to gain a feeling of accomplishment, self-esteem, and self-confidence. While exercising their independence and acting autonomously, they are also adhering to rules and guidelines.
Although WinGate Wilderness Therapy may be located outside of the Westminster, CO area, we accept teens from all over the United States. Most parents find that it is extremely beneficial to send their teen to another area to get them away from bad influences.
WinGate Wilderness Therapy is proud to be an affiliated member of the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs.
Best Therapeutic Boarding Schools Alternative
When struggling with a troubled teen, many parents immediately look into therapeutic boarding schools. Unfortunately, these programs tend to be less successful for teens dealing with addiction and substance abuse. Instead, a number of studies point to wilderness therapy as a successful alternative to therapeutic boarding schools.
Considered to be one of the top wilderness programs in the United States, WinGate Wilderness Therapy has a long history of helping teens confront their problematic behaviors, including acting out, using drugs, engaging in sexually promiscuous behavior, and performing poorly in school. Within WinGate's healing setting, teens are cut off from the distractions and interruptions that are so common in traditional settings. Using philosophies developed by the Arbinger Institute, WinGate offers both substance abuse recovery and life skill training for troubled teens that allow them to return home a truly changed person.
Most parents find out that sending their troubled teen to an area they are not familiar with does enhance recovery. This is due to teens being kept away from damaging influences, while also causing them to focus solely on why they are in their current situation.
Dedicated to helping troubled teens return to a straight, productive path, WinGate blends a variety of therapeutic methods to help even the most difficult teen success; Our experienced consultants at WinGate Wilderness Therapy are currently available to assist and guide the parents of struggling teens.

FEI: OFFICIAL FEI CLEAN SPORT APP EXTENDED TO ANDROID PHONES
FEI PRESS RELEASE
Lausanne, 25 November 2010
Three weeks after launching its ground-breaking iPhone app for Equine Prohibited Substances, the FEI has today announced that the app is now available on Android smartphones.
The mobile application gives those involved in horse sport fast and easy access to crucial information on prohibited substances. When it was launched at the start of November for iPhone users, it was greeted with great enthusiasm by the equestrian community, already more than 2,000 people worldwide have downloaded the app and it featured third on the iTunes Store "New and Noteworthy" section.
The official FEI Android version is available from today on Android phones with the version 2.2 (or later) operating system and can be downloaded from the Google Android Market, using your Android smartphone. The official FEI iPhone app is available for download from the iTunes Store.
The Android and iPhone apps enable users to navigate the Equine Prohibited Substances database that has featured on the FEI website since April 2010. When a searchable term is entered, a short definition of the substance appears, accompanied by its FEI classification and common trade names. A feedback function with automatic email acknowledgement allows users to seek further advice or clarification if necessary.
Users will only need to download the app once, the online database will be automatically updated to incorporate new substances after annual reviews of the list take place.
The Equine Prohibited Substances List app is the FEI's most recent mobile phone application for the equestrian community. An app was developed earlier this year for FEI Dressage Tests for Eventing, Dressage and Para-Dressage.
Note to Editors
Research In Motion, the manufacturer of the BlackBerry smartphone device, is expected to announce support of Android at the end of 2010. The FEI prohibited substances app will be configured accordingly and made available from that platform.

Holiday Spirit Glimmers as New York Endures Another Pandemic Christmas
With their family Christmas celebration canceled for the second straight year, Robert Valley and Alexis Pagan sought some holiday cheer in Manhattan, inside the F.A.O. Schwarz toy store at Rockefeller Center.
There, with the famous Christmas tree towering over the bustling plaza outside, the specter of the pandemic seemed to fade a little.
"This is what we've got, this is what we're holding on to," Mr. Valley, 55, said through a mask emblazoned with the image of Santa Claus. "I said, 'Let's go see the tree, it will give us a little joy.'"
Ms. Pagan, 47, chimed in from behind her Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer mask. "Like there is a Christmas," she said.
This year's holiday season has been accompanied by an extraordinary surge in coronavirus cases linked to the fast-spreading Omicron variant, which has proved capable of bypassing vaccines and has infected tens of thousands of people, ruining countless plans for a normal Christmas.
On Friday, New York State reported 44,431 new virus cases out of about 360,000 people tested, an increase of nearly 5,600 new cases day over day and the highest single-day figure since the pandemic began. A great number of those were in New York City.
But amid the spike — and the postponed parties, wrecked travel plans and interminable lines at overburdened testing sites — there were glimmers of the season to be found among New Yorkers brimming with determination to salvage what they could of Christmas.
On Thursday, on Frances Sacks's 10th day of isolating after contracting the virus, she emerged from her apartment in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood to search for a test. The goal: a negative result that would ensure that it was safe for her to spend Christmas in East Hampton, on Long Island, with her family.
After stopping at three pharmacies (rapid tests sold out), two urgent care centers (no tests available), two testing sites (waits of at least three hours) — at one point crossing the Williamsburg Bridge into Manhattan — she lined up at a pop-up testing site in the West Village.
Whatever the result, she still faced a dilemma.
"I don't have any holiday gifts," Ms. Sacks, 23, who works at a restaurant, said, shivering as she waited. "I have a lot of 'the thought that counts'; but, hey, I had Covid."
Ms. Sacks was just one of many who waited for hours this week, hoping for an answer that could make the difference between the warmth of a holiday with family or one more special occasion canceled — while understanding that the pandemic has done much more serious harm.
Candace Forbes, 32, a nurse from Brooklyn, waited eight hours with her children, 2 and 4, and her husband, Andre Forbes, at a pop-up testing site at a Canarsie playground. She left anxiously awaiting results, as well as feeling colder and wiser from the experience.
"If they're coming out and they have toddlers, dress them overly warm," she advised. "If you have to bring a chair, bring a chair. If you have to bring a snack, bring a snack."
Hanging in the air was the painful memory of similar lines in the pandemic's early stages, when the virus was new and tests were scarce.
Dec. 24, 2021, 3:50 p.m. ET
At Travers Park in Jackson Heights, Queens, Tommy Campos, a footwear designer who lives nearby, stood in a line of 30 people at a testing site that opened recently with federal support. He expressed disbelief at what he was seeing.
"We felt like we were at the finish line, we felt like things were good a couple of weeks ago," Mr. Campos said as he waited. "And I guess it just got out of hand and went crazy."
As if to underscore his concerns, the state Health Department issued an advisory on Friday warning of an increase in the number of children being hospitalized in connection with the virus, particularly in the New York City area.
About half the children who were hospitalized were under 5, or too young to be vaccinated, health officials said. Most of the older children who were hospitalized had not been fully vaccinated.
In New York City alone, hospitalizations of children linked to the virus had risen "fourfold," the advisory said. The Health Department did not provide total numbers of pediatric hospitalizations, but the upward trend mirrored reports of a growing number of coronavirus cases among children in South Africa after the Omicron variant emerged there.
The rising number of cases overseas further complicated a travel landscape, threatening to unravel hoped-for holiday visits. As of Friday, 3,800 flights that had been scheduled for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day had been canceled, according to the flight-tracking website Flight Aware.
New treatments. The Food and Drug Administration authorized in short succession the first two pill treatments for Covid-19 from Pfizer and Merck. The new drugs, which can be taken at home with a doctor's prescription, will be available to some Covid patients who are at higher risk of becoming severely ill.
Some of those seeking tests, like Rica Ciocio, 52, of Long Island, had planned to fly to Romania, her homeland, with her family on Christmas to celebrate with her parents. She said she had not visited them in more than two years. But the surge in cases and vast backlog in testing made her worry they would not get results in time to go.
And so, on Thursday, Ms. Ciocio and her family made a pilgrimage from testing site to testing site across Manhattan, each getting tested several times and hoping that one location would deliver a result in time to save Christmas.
"It's unsettling," she said. "You never know what's the right thing to do."
To address the testing backlog, the city began distributing free at-home test kits at five locations, one in each borough, on Thursday morning, two days before Christmas. Two thousand kits were supposed to be available at each.
On 18th Avenue at 65th Street in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, a line began to form two hours before distribution began. It would later wrap around the block.
As has been the case throughout the pandemic, access to speedy testing appeared to split along economic fault lines. There were no lines at all at MedRite Urgent Care on Chambers Street in Lower Manhattan, where people could avoid the typical waiting period of 48 hours or more to get results from a PCR test and learn their status in three hours if they paid $225 out of pocket.
In one quadrant of the Upper East Side, there appeared to be a testing tent, van or table on nearly every block — and even more on others. People passing unexpectedly empty sites jumped at the opportunity to get tested while knowing that the rest of the city was scrambling for tests.
"I saw this table and made my mom stop the car so I could get tested," said Hannah Gelb as she stood waiting for a test at a PacGenomics site at the corner of 85th Street and Third Avenue.
Roberto Felix, a construction worker, stood nearby. He had been waiting in a long testing line elsewhere when his boss called and told him there was no line at PacGenomics. Mr. Felix hustled over.
"Because of Christmas, I wanted to make sure that I don't have Covid," he said.
For Marcone Santos, no test or line or fear could stand in the way of his joy.
Mr. Santos, of Bethlehem, Pa., was at John F. Kennedy Airport on Friday, waiting for his mother and father to arrive from Brazil. It would be the first time they had seen one another in three years.
Despite his fears that the Omicron wave would cancel their trip, his parents had just landed and were making their way through customs.
"Everybody is tired of this pandemic and being apart from family, from friends," said Mr. Santos, 37, a carpenter. "For me, waiting for three years to see my family, this is a great time.
"It's the holidays," he added, craning his neck to peer down the arrivals hall. "It's Christmas tomorrow."

Aardman Animations and DreamWorks have announced an amicable end to their business association.
A four film relationship was established in 2000 with the release of Chicken Run. Then followed Curse of The Were-Rabbit in 2005 and Flushed Away in 2006.
Despite the Oscar and general popularity of Curse of The Were-Rabbit it just didn't make enough money to break even. At the time, forecasts from DreamWorks guessed that Flushed Away was also going to cost them dearly.
And so it did. Costing over £70M to make but only drawing about £25M from the box office is not anyone's idea of good business practice. It certainly does not go down well in Hollywood.
Have you done the maths? That's only three of the original four film deal. Crood Awakening has been co-written by John Cleese has a release date for 2008. Whether either side will still risk the potential losses of releasing it, is unknown and a wrangle over the rights of the production could keep the project in development hell for decades.
Aardman and DreamWorks have both voiced their calm resignation over the split. Aardman spokesperson, Arthur Sheriff, said, "We always knew America would be a hard task for us … our strength is our English sense of humour and we want to continue with that."
And long may they do so, no matter what Hollywood thinks.
Comedy and celebrity, sometimes, don't work well together. As soon as a comedian gets on the TV then that's his/her act used up; the set is old jokes. Before TV and a comedian could get one set to last over a year doing isolated stand-up gigs. That's why many comedians' longevity has been scuppered after they got 'famous'.
It is an even bigger problem for those candid comedians whose material comes from undercover work: Dennis Pennis, Brass Eye and Trigger Happy TV are a few of the casualties of popularity. Now Sacha Baron Cohen faces that problem with Borat.
The humour derived from people not knowing Borat is a fictional character loses its edge after an international box office hit film, two Golden Globes, threats of violence and death, and a nation threatening legal action. So Cohen is prepared to say farewell to the naïve reporter from Kazakhstan.
He said, "I think it will probably be impossible to do Borat again. I think the days of me going undercover are probably over."
Buddy 'Aces' Israel (Piven) is the top entertainer in Las Vegas. More importantly, though, is that he's also head of a crime syndicate based on connections he made in the Mafia.
The FBI have been cracking down on the mob and their last link to bring the entire crime organisation down will be on the testimony of Israel. Agents Messner (Reynolds) and Caruthers (Liotta) are sent to bring him in.
Of course the Mafia aren't going to take this lying down and a $1M bounty is placed on Israel's head drawing interest from contract killers all over the place.
There's a double team of young, sassy girls (Keys), a master of disguise, a master of torture, a trio of gunblazing Nazi brothers and an unknown man simply called The Swede.
Also in on the chase are a team of bondsmen led by Jack Dupree (Afleck).
Time is running out for Israel as all the elements close in to cash in on him and all he's got in his defence are a heavily armed hotel security guards and his own crew.
A diverse group of characters made up of an ensemble of charismatic, action actors keeps the film rolling along easily with very little time to sit back and ponder whether it's all a bit too clever or not.
Each protagonist has his/her own thread that cuts and interweaves through the others' stories. The laughs are plentiful, coming from the ensuing confusion and verbal exchanges. Probably playing the funniest cameo is Arrested Development's Bateman thoroughly debasing himself as the room-bound bond agent sending Afleck on his way.
There's a surprising comedy in the gratuity of the gunplay and variations therein. Redneck Nazis that indiscriminately slaughter anyone in their path without any consideration to their own safety are the most comical team and give Afleck the opportunity for some Oscar worthy acting.
The fast paced, quick-witted story also benefits from unpredictable fates for the characters. There's no real leading role here. You quickly see that star status means nothing to the producers and no-one is exempt from being felled by a hail of bullets. Each scene could result in the demise of anyone of them.
A very clever film that keeps all its strands flowing tightly together to prevent loss of continuity and attention. If there was a downside then it's a rather lack lustre 'twist' that didn't need to be there and comes as rather an anticlimax after 90 minutes of non-stop action.
Larry (Stiller) is an unaccomplished dreamer. He has grand ideas but never gets them to work out and with that has earned himself a divorce and a gradually worsening relationship with his young son.
Determined to put things right he decides to take the first stable job that comes along; night security at the Museum of Natural History. Three old timers (Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney and Bill Cobbs) are being laid off and replaced with one man because business has been slow.
But Larry wasn't told that one of the museums Egyptian artefacts carries a magical curse with it that brings everything in the building to life from nightfall to sun up. From the T-Rex bones in the foyer to an Easter Island head with Huns, prehistoric men and miniature civilisation dioramas in between.
It's up to Larry (with a little help from Teddy Roosevelt (Williams) to stop the animated displays from destroying the museum, themselves and, ultimately, his life.
Each of these worthy names are given there moment to shine in their own way. Gervais, specifically, delivers a trademark performance of inane ramblings with aplomb and makes the most of a very understated role.
Setting itself up as a spooky film it quickly becomes apparent that it is just going to be plain silly. Lots of slapstick, pratfalls, anarchic tomfoolery and childish behaviour keep the story trundling along and actually take up more time than the, otherwise, sycophantic plot of rubbish father lowering his standards to try to make good.
Each set up for horror is twisted on its head to make it more appealing for the younger audience from the T-rex skeleton up to the climactic encounter with the Egyptian mummy. It's tame, it's innocent but it is harmless farm. A film to just switch off and let these guys get on with what they're good at.

Meet The World's Niftiest AirBnBs
Robbie Woods
Look, the Super 8 is always going to be there. Any time you please, you can find someplace normal, with a parking lot and an ice machine, to hang your hat and lay you down on a nice Posturepedic mattress. But if you're looking for something beyond the ordinary, look no further than AirBnB. This super-popular home rental app has all kinds of high-end options, but also plenty you might classify as strange and exotic.
Here's our guide to 8 of the niftiest AirBnBs out there. Happy hunting!
1. The Cubehouse
Cost: $228 per night
Apparently, it's still hip to be square.
In the late 1970s, architect Piet Blom came up with the idea of constructing an urban forest made of off-kilter cube houses held up on concrete bases, with the idea of optimizing the use of space in modern cities. Sadly (I think?) his vision of a human cube jungle never became a reality, but he did build 18 of these novel structures in Helmond and 39 in Rotterdam.
And you can definitely rent out one of these curious houses on AirBnB! It comes with two bedrooms -- a master with one double bed and a junior with two singles. The Cubehouse row is located close to restaurants and Rotterdam's charming markets.

2. Romantic Bus in the Forest
Weaverville, NC, USA
Cost: $79 per night
It's not quite the van down by the river that Chris Farley used to rave about, but it's the next best thing.
Kidding aside, this is the cutest little spot to spend a romantic evening out in nature. It's exactly what it sounds like: a converted bus fit for human habitation. It makes a suitable accommodation for two, with one bed and one bath. Guests love the special touches that went into this little project, which was clearly a labor of love.
Buses aren't just for taking kids to school anymore!
3. La Flocellière
Loire, France
Where better to keep on keepin' on than in a literal keep?
La Flocellière is a French castle dating all the way back to the 11th century. One a strategically significant fortress, it was later converted into a stately aristocratic manor. These days, the lady of the house rents it out to guests who dream of walking in the footsteps of long-dead French nobles. You're invited to dine with the lady, relax in the living room, swim in the heated in-ground pool, and wander the centuries-old gardens of the estate. There are 5 bedrooms to choose from, each with its own personality.
On top of all this, the castle is only 5 miles from the Puy du Fou (Hill of Lunatics), one of the best theme parks in the world.
4. The Seashell House
Isla Mujeres is a small island just off the coast of Cancun. It's the home of the Seashell House, a unique architectural curiosity that's just about what it sounds like. It's the perfect place to escape from the noise and crowds of busier areas. Of course, staying in such an unusual house also kind of makes you a center of attention, as passersby will certainly stop to marvel at the unconventional contours of this white hacienda.
The house can accommodate 4 people, with two bedrooms, two and a half baths, a kitchenette, a barbecue, and a pool.

5. Underground Hygge
Orondo, WA, USA
Are you a Tolkien fan? Or just someone who always dreamed of spending a night in a fancy bunker? Either way, you'll love this real life Hobbit hole in Washington State. You'll find this cozy nook up a little pathway, dug into the side of a hill in the Columbia River Gorge.
The Hobbit hole is suitable for two guests, as there's only one bedroom and one bath. There's a fireplace and central heating, so you can rent the place any time of year. But there are a few provisos that may cause you to think twice.
There's no kitchen onsite, so this is a little more like camping than staying in a hotel. There's also no WiFi, air conditioning, TV, or laundry. In the wintertime, you can expect snowfall, so you'll need a car with four-wheel drive to come and go. Plus the path up the hillside is fairly steep.
But those inconveniences are all worth bearing in my book if you get to play Hobbit!
6. Studio with a View
Akureyri, Iceland
If you're really looking to get away from it all, this unique home in the northeast of Iceland may just be the AirBnB for you. Located on the outskirts of Akureyri, the regional capital, this three-apartment villa affords you a view of the windswept nearby inlet with iron-clad mountains in the distance. In the darkness of Icelandic winters, you'll have a pristine view of the Northern Lights, while in summer you'll enjoy nearly round-the-clock sunlight.
Each apartment comes with one bedroom and one bath, plus a kitchenette -- although there is no oven onsite. You're also close enough to Akureyri that you can easily make the trip into town to grab supplies.

7. Casa Arbol
San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua
Price: $167 per night
If you're looking to explore the flora and fauna of Central America in an eco-friendly way, you can't do much better than this two-story treehouse for grown-ups on Nicaragua's Pacific Coast. Situated within a wildlife area, this is the place to be if you're an animal lover and a fan of the great outdoors. It's also ideal if you're hoping to work on your tan, since Casa Arbol is just a five minute drive from three top-shelf beaches. Here, you'll be part of a small community of sustainable luxury treetop accommodations.
There's WiFI, a kitchen, a TV, a shared pool, and a free TV. But you are required to rent a 4x4 in order to book a stay.
8. Windmill Near Amsterdam
Near Amsterdam, The Netherlands
If you're gonna go Dutch, why not go all the way with it and rent a full-blown windmill?
Dating back to 1874, this lovely building can sleep 6 guests with ease, making it a perfect (and affordable) rental if you're traveling with the family. You'll have the whole mill to yourself -- three bedrooms (two beds apiece), one bath, and a full kitchen. You can make your stay even more quintessentially Dutch by renting bicycles -- just make sure you reserve them ahead of time. And if you run into any problems, the owners live just a few miles down the road.
I don't know about you, but this sounds like the perfect home base from which to explore Amsterdam and the scenic, low-lying countryside.
Imagine renting your very own Dutch windmill! Source.
This is really just a sampling of the amazing rentals you can find on AirBnB. Have your own amazing find? Please share it with us. As always: happy trails!

Is It Ripe Yet?
August 30, 2013 Tom McKusick Gardening 0
Wait for it. Some vegetables give more clear indications of when they are ready to harvest. With onions, for example, the tops will fall over, letting the gardener know it is time to dig. Most guides recommend that new potatoes be harvested when the plants flower, but for mature spuds wait until the plant turns brown. Melons tend to fall right off the vine when ripe, and you want to catch them just before that moment. Muskmelons give off a rich aroma that says, "I'm ripe."
Color and feel should be your guide for tomatoes. You want them to reach the correct color for the variety you've planted and be slightly soft. Generally, ripe tomatoes come off the vine with barely a tug.
Root vegetables, such as beets, carrots and parsnips, can be harvested at whatever size you like. And, parsnips and carrots often develop a sweeter flavor if left in the ground after a frost.
Winter squash needs to stay on the vine so it can reach its full color and have a skin that is so tough that it is difficult to puncture with your fingernail. Only then, should the squash be cut from the vine (with a stem on it) and allowed to mature in a cool, dry place.

It is the mission of MSHS to serve Northern gardeners through education, encouragement, and community. Through a variety of educational programs, classes and conferences, and by publishing an award-winning magazine, Northern Gardener, MSHS helps its members and the general public to be better gardeners in USDA plant hardy Zones 3, 4 and 5. MSHS' plant donation network, Minnesota Green, started in 1988, serves the greening efforts of volunteer gardeners throughout the state. Minnesota Green promotes grassroots efforts to revitalize communities by coordinating the donation and distribution of nurseries and greenhouse's flowers and trees to be planted in public spaces statewide. MSHS was formed in 1866, as an association of fruit growers who took on the challenge of growing apples and other fruits in a northern climate. Two years later, the association became the Minnesota State Horticultural Society to recognize the importance of all phases of horticulture development in rural and urban Minnesota. In 1873, the Minnesota Legislature approved an act providing for the publication and distribution of 2000 copies of all the transactions of the society. 1894 marked the birth of one of the longest continually published horticultural magazines in the country: Northern Gardener, formerly known as Minnesota Horticulturist.

Jonathan Stutzman and Heather Fox, the duo behind Llama Destroys the World, take their trademark hijinks up to the North Pole in this laugh-out-loud, heartfelt Christmas-themed picture book.
Santa is feeling old, and being in the business of Christmas for centuries is . . . well, it isn't all milk and cookies. In hopes of regaining some of his pep, Santa asks the spirit of Christmas to give him something for a change: skim off a couple of years and make him younger.
But Christmas magic is powerful, and Santa gets more than he wished for. Instead of a fresh new outlook and boundless energy, he needs diapers and a nap—stat. With Christmas only a few days away, the elves rush to teach Santa Baby the basics. But will there be enough time to prepare their new bundle of holiday joy for the job?
Funny and spirited, bright and inspiring, and with an unforgettable title, Santa Baby is destined to be a yuletide read families revisit every year.

Christmas - Kids Fiction
In this sprightly caper, Santa is feeling no holiday spirit and his body aches ("Ho, Ho, Oww"), so he summons the "magic of Christmas" to make him young again. When he morphs from an old man into a baby, the elves frantically test his Santa skills, and he fails miserably—and comically. He refuses to pop down chimneys, opens rather than delivers packages, and chews his list, twice. But thinking of the children he'll disappoint if he doesn't make his Christmas Eve rounds, he dons his "big-boy cap," climbs into his "safety-approved sleigh-seat" and takes off. After stumbling, he "hurried down the chimney in fright" (a riff on the 1950s song with which this volume shares a name), but encounters a girl whose kindness rekindles the "beauty and wonder of Christmas" and he's restored to his jolly old self. The developmental logic is iffy—how does Santa Baby understand the global stakes when he can't even say "Ho Ho Ho"?—but Fox's bustling digital cartoons and the elves' attempts to communicate with their blathering infant boss amplify the tale's blithe humor. Ages 4–8. (Sept.)
"Plenty of laughs...playfully complemented by Fox's child-friendly illustrations." —Horn Book
Praise for Llama Destroys the World:
Summer 2019 Kids' Indie Next List Pick
"Silly fun."—People Magazine
"Filled with llama drama and will having everyone laughing out loud."—Romper
"[A] super silly, amazingly original, best-when-read-aloud picture book."—BookPage
"Dessert has never seemed so epic." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"The goofy premise itself will elicit giggles, but it's innocently wide-eyed Llama who really sells the silliness of the story."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Starred Review
"Will make Rubin and Salmieri's fans split their own pants." —Kirkus
"[T]his story will have readers chuckling again and again and coming back for more, just like Llama."—School Library Journal
Praise for Don't Feed the Coos:
"If it's true that being pooped on by a bird brings good luck, Stutzman and Fox's protagonist accrues some serious great fortune...Coo-coo storytime fun."—Kirkus
"Fox's graphic illustrations echo the text's giddy rhythms, with the pigeons styled...as pert, wide-eyed, always-in-profile graphic motifs that skip, flit, and, yes, poo prodigiously across the pages." —Publishers Weekly
A babe in toyland spells trouble for Christmas.
Poor Santa is struggling with major burnout at the beginning of this laugh-out-loud Christmas book. Stutzman's skillful, witty turns of phrase and Fox's uproarious comic illustrations depict a decidedly old St. Nick. The opening pages are so strong and funny it's a shame to see a textual misstep when, just before Christmas, a weary Santa who seems ready to throw in the towel frets that "all the children in the entire world were counting on him." Most children reading this book will undoubtedly be among those who celebrate Christmas; but it does neither them nor others any good to reinforce Christmas as universally celebrated. Such textual erasure of non-Christian children may undermine the story's playful tone for some readers when Santa summons Christmas magic to make him young again. His wish comes true to an extreme degree, and the North Pole is left in the tiny hands of his transformed, titular Santa Baby self. Seeing his ineptitude (he can't even say "Ho Ho Ho!"), the elves initially fear Christmas will be cancelled, but they rally around Santa Baby, who also gets help from a bighearted child in one of the homes they eventually visit. By the book's end Santa is restored to his status as jolly old elf, and Christmas is saved. Santa presents White, and the elves are racially diverse. (This book was reviewed digitally with 11-by-17-inch double-page spreads viewed at 30.5% of actual size.)
Funny and fun with a fundamental, if not fatal, flaw. (Picture book. 3-7)

Influencers on the plane: Three federal ministers call for an inquiry
William Thomas 2 weeks ago 2 min read
Three federal ministers have called for an investigation into the behavior of influencers who violated the rules relating to Kovid-19 and aviation security.
Also read: The return flight for Quebec Influencers at the party was canceled
"The health and safety of flight attendants and passengers is of the utmost importance during air travel. We are aware of the unacceptable behavior and non-compliance of masks and other aviation safety requirements during the Sunwing Charter flight between Montreal and Cancun on December 30, 2021, "Transport Minister Omar Algabra said in a statement on Tuesday; Minister of Health, Jean-Yves Duclos and Minister of Public Security, Marco Mendicino.
He said the government was taking the report of such incidents very seriously.
"Transport Canada is in consultation with the carrier regarding this aircraft. If the ministry determines that it does not comply with the regulations and requirements, passengers will be fined up to $ 5,000 per violation, "the statement said.
Framed return
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and key partners coordinate the process of returning travelers to Canada. Passengers suspected of violating the regulations will be referred to the PHAC. Any suspicious or fraudulent document will be kept intact.
Providing false information to a Canadian government representative after entering Canada is a serious offense and the offender faces criminal penalties and charges. Summary If a passenger is convicted of a felony, they could face a fine of up to $ 750,000, up to 6 months in prison, or both.
In case of harm and harm to the lives of others, the passenger is liable to imprisonment for up to 3 years and a fine of up to $ 1,000,000.
READ Listen to music to find the speech
The Government of Canada continues to advise all Canadians to avoid unnecessary travel outside of Canada at this time.
The three ministers assured that "we will continue to work with our carriers, airports and our other partners in the field of transport to take all necessary steps to protect the health of Canadians and Canada's air transport system."

Arquitectonica
Ten Mindboggling Details About Fairholme Capital's Planned HQ
By Sean McCaughan Oct 13, 2014, 4:40pm EDT
In case you missed it, yesterday's Miami Herald had a big, splashy cover story about a "proposed museum building splashy even for Miami", the new Fairholme Capital HQ that financial giant Bruce Berkowitz is planning for Biscayne Boulevard. The project, designed by Arquitectonica, will be a combination headquarters for his firm and a private art museum housing a "pair of monumental works by two art world legends", Richard Serra and James Turrell.
1) The design of the structure is so radical that city planners have had trouble reconciling it with the Miami 21 zoning code, "which does not anticipate a building like it, though they say it could pass muster with variations and modifications." Of course, a zoning code when created from scratch can never anticipate every possible situation.
2) City planners are concerned the anvil-shaped monolith might be too "off-putting" for a prominent site on Biscayne Boulevard. (What, a financial titan's new headquarters that happens to look like a post-apocalyptic fortress is off-putting? Never!)
3) The building's shape and dimensions were precisely tailored to display two monolithic works by James Turrell and Richard Serra. The Turrell, entitled Aten Reign, was recently the centerpiece of the artist's blockbuster exhibition at the Guggenheim in New York. The 200-foot long Serra was last exhibited in Qatar.
4) Both artists have been closely involved in the design of the building, with Turrell designing a second monumental piece that will "light up the exterior lip of the building platform at sidewalk level".
5) The concrete structure of the building will be embedded with glass fiber optics that renders the material translucent. The concrete will glow at night. The concrete also serves as a fitting background for Serra's Passages of Time, which Serra did not want set against a glass building.
6) Although it will only have one underground parking level, two public gallery levels, and five office levels, the building will be 100 feet tall to accommodate Aten Reign, which also inspired the building's shape, which gets wider as it rises.
7) To enter Aten Reign, visitors will walk down a ramp and come into the piece from below, much like the ramp at the Guggenheim. The piece will also contain one of Turrell's signature 'light rooms' at the top, a feature the Guggenheim could not fit in.
8) Aten Reign got absolutely killer reviews when it was in New York. It's pretty amazing that it's coming here.
9) The Serra piece, titled Passage of Time, will be on the podium in front of the building, and visitors will be able to walk through and around the piece. A band of glass running the entire length of the 260 foot long building without a single mullion or column to interrupt it will sit above the sculpture at just the right angle—determined by Serra—for optimal viewing.
10) The whole thing is planned to be finished by 2017.

Building 429 Releases Holiday EP, HOPE IS HERE, Nov. 20
On November 20, GRAMMY®-nominated band Building 429 will release their new Christmas project, Hope Is Here. Continuing the band's tradition of delivering big songs with big emotion, the three-song EP offers a full choir and orchestra, heralding the traditional spirit of Christmas and seamlessly moving from reverence to joy. Produced by Riley Friesen, the three new recordings include "Infinite Glory," "Mary Sweet Mary," and the title track, "Hope Is Here (Do Not Fear)" featuring Gotee Records' artist Terrian.
"Whatever your last year has looked like I hope this project will remind you…hope is here," explains Building 429 frontman and vocalist Jason Roy, who co-wrote two of the EP's songs. "The first lines out of my mouth on this EP are so true to where we are at this moment. I desperately wanted to build a project that was so big, so full of joy, so classic that it would instantly take the listener to a different place and time, where peace and joy were the prevailing thoughts. So to that end, we literally recorded a full string section with horns and a huge choir and brought in one of my favorite artists, Terrian, and shot for the moon. I'm so proud of what we've accomplished. The three songs are our best Christmas work to date, and for the first time, I feel that we have nailed the timeless tradition and wonder of Christmas in the form of music."
Both "Infinite Glory" and "Hope Is Here (Do Not Fear) feat. Terrian" are releasing to radio for the Christmas season. The group will also be headlining the Building 429 Christmas tour, which kicks off December 5th.

Mobile Industry Leaders Come Together To Drive Deployment Of 5G NR #MWC17
#Poland Incident Is New Chapter In #Huawei And #Spying Saga
#DeutscheTelekom, #Ericsson Demo mmWave For #5G
Telecom Junkie
Barcelona, Spain— February 26, 2017 — Today a contingent of mobile communications companies announced their collective support for the acceleration of the 5G New Radio (NR) standardization schedule to enable large-scale trials and deployments as early as 2019. AT&T, NTT DOCOMO, INC., SK Telecom, Vodafone, Ericsson, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., British Telecom, Telstra, Korea Telecom, Intel, LG Uplus, KDDI, LG Electronics, Telia Company, Swisscom, TIM, Etisalat Group, Huawei, Sprint, Vivo, ZTE and Deutsche Telekom will support a corresponding work plan proposal for the first phase of the 5G NR specification at the next 3GPP RAN Plenary Meeting on March 6-9 in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
The first 3GPP 5G NR specification will be part of Release 15 – the global 5G standard that will make use of both sub-6 GHz and mmWave spectrum bands. Based on the current 3GPP Release 15 timeline the earliest 5G NR deployments based on standard-compliant 5G NR infrastructure and devices will likely not be possible until 2020. Instead, the new proposal introduces an intermediate milestone to complete specification documents related to a configuration called Non-Standalone 5G NR to enable large-scale trials and deployments starting in 2019. Non-Standalone 5G NR will utilize the existing LTE radio and evolved packet core network as an anchor for mobility management and coverage while adding a new 5G radio access carrier to enable certain 5G use cases starting in 2019. The new proposal and the intermediate milestone also re-affirm and solidify the schedule for the complete standard, including Standalone 5G NR in Release 15.
The supporting companies are further committed to make forward compatibility a key design principle for the standardization of the first release of 5G NR. This will enable in-band introduction of new capabilities and features in subsequent releases critical to enabling yet to be identified industries and use cases and achieving the 5G vision to connect everything to everything.
The proposal is consistent with 3GPP's commitment to enable a flexible evolution and inter-working of the radio access network towards 5G NR and the evolution of the core network towards the 5G System.
As proven by the broad Industry support, this proposal delivers the ability to address the increasing global demand for enhanced mobile broadband services with 5G NR in 2019, while continuing to address the broader vision for 5G NR in 2020 and beyond.
"We support both the Standalone and Non-Standalone configurations of 5G New Radio," said Tom Keathley, senior vice president- wireless network architecture and design, AT&T. "Our focus is on prioritizing important specifications in the standards to bring 5G to market as quickly as possible. In the process of defining any standard, it is normal to make some decisions earlier than others. These accelerated decisions on key components of 5G New Radio standards will allow an earlier start on the development of the infrastructure and devices of tomorrow's 5G deployments."
Seizo Onoe, executive vice president and chief technology officer, NTT DOCOMO said, "5G is the key enabler to create new business opportunities across industries. DOCOMO plans a commercial launch with Non-Standalone 5G NR by 2020. Acceleration of the standardization schedule will facilitate early implementation of the standard-compliant 5G NR. We will ensure the highly-stable 5G services through large-scale trial activities with a wider range of industry partners."
SK Telecom, Co. Ltd.
Park Jin-hyo, Senior Vice president, Head of Network Technology R&D Center, SK Telecom said, "As the demand for 5G commercialization is rapidly increasing, it is crucial to complete globally agreed 5G standardization in time. 3GPP NR is the global 5G standard and we are making continuous efforts to accelerate 3GPP NR standardization with partners."
Luke Ibbetson, head of research and development and strategy, Vodafone Group, said: "Standardisation of the New Radio interface will be critical to the successful development of 5G over the coming years. As the industry starts to design and test a new generation of services and applications, a common global standard for the underlying mobile technology will allow innovation to flourish and help us achieve economies of scale."
Arun Bansal, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Unit Network Products, says: "The faster we commercialize 5G based on 3GPP specifications, the faster we will realize its benefits for the entire industry. We are thrilled to participate in this initiative to accelerate the 5G ecosystem and commercial deployment."
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
Cristiano Amon, executive vice president, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and president, QCT said, "5G NR technologies will be critical to meet the ever-increasing connectivity requirements for emerging mobile broadband experiences such as virtual reality, augmented reality and connected cloud computing, and we are already seeing the need to bring these technologies to devices globally sooner rather than later. There is great value in accelerating the timeline to commercialization, while maintaining the global scale through the proper standardization process in 3GPP."
Howard Watson, CEO BT TSO noted, "By accelerating the creation of the new radio interface we will be able to enable the 5G experience for customers sooner driving our purpose of using communications to make a better world".
Mike Wright, Telstra's Group Managing Director Networks, said "Telstra is committed to the benefits of industry standardization and the development of this intermediate milestone for 5G NR would allow the benefits of early launch of 5G in the 2019 timeline following extensive pre-5G testing planned by Telstra during 2018."
Korea Telecom, Co. Ltd.
"We are pretty encouraged by the increasing voices heard within the telecom industry that the process of New Radio Specification should be expedited," said YongGyoo Lee, Senior Vice President – Network Strategy, Korea Telecom. "KT views that Non-Standalone and Standalone modes are equally important for the sake of completeness of the Standard Specification. However, we believe that early introduction of 5G network, compensated by already-prevailing LTE coverage, is a reasonable approach for the operators when taking the ROI factors into the consideration, and it justifies the slight preference for NSA mode in terms of priority. Our view is that 5G is not just the matter of achieving higher data speed. Rather, we believe that it will completely turn around the way the communication service is provided to the customers and eventually open up the opportunity for the telecom operators to diversify the new revenue streams in a cost-effective way. I am sure that the whole industry will enjoy the benefits from quick introduction of 5G into the market, enabled by the acceleration of 5G NR Specification in 3GPP."
Asha Keddy, vice president and general manager of Next Generation Standards, Intel Communications and Devices Group, says, "Intel is committed to accelerating the roll out of 5G from the cloud to the network to the device. Global industry collaboration to accelerate the 3GPP NR standard is a lynchpin to making 5G a worldwide success and to scale. 5G is a true inflection point in technology and will transform our lives and society in ways far beyond previous connectivity standards, and as such, the ability to solidify a global standard is more critical than ever."
Yoshiaki Uchida, Managing Executive Officer, Technology Sector, Member of the Board, KDDI Corporation said, "For rapid commercialization of 5G, forming an ecosystem by global harmonization including frequency bands and specifications is even more crucial than in the previous generations. KDDI is targeting to start 5G services in 2020, which mandates early completion of NR specification. We sincerely hope the acceleration of related 3GPP activities."
Go-Hee Choi, Senior Vice President, Head of Advanced Standard R&D Lab, said, "LG Electronics believes that the early completion of 5G NR global standardization would be crucial in satisfying growing market demands for new innovative 5G experiences and making 5G a worldwide success. We fully support the initiative for 5G NR global acceleration and will make every effort to expedite the completion of 5G NR specification in 3GPP based on global partnership."
Mauro Costa, Director, Network Architecture & Strategy, Telia Company says, "A global standard is a fundamental pre-requisite to make 5G a success and open up for innovation and new business opportunities. Considering the large and increasing 5G interest from our customers, we see a strong need to have the standard to progress fast and complete on time. The acceleration of the 3GPP NR standard is an essential step in this direction."
Daniel Staub, Head of Joint Mobile Group, Swisscom and in charge of the 5G implementaion said: "As a European technology leader, Swisscom wants to get 5G early. Swisscom is fully committed to standards. Therefore, a proprietary or close-to-standard implementation is not of interest to Swisscom. As a consequence, Swisscom is fully supporting 5G NR acceleration to always provide the best experience on the best network to our customers."
Etisalat Group
Hatam Bamatraf, Chief Technology Officer, International said: "Etisalat Group is committed to the accelerated development of 5G that meets a global standard. Such a standard will have a positive impact on efficiency and the quality of the services we can deliver to our customers. Being part of this collective effort from the industry to take forward 5G NR, reflects Etisalat Group's open approach to partnership and our focus on innovation."
"5G will usher in an era of deep convergence between telecom and vertical industries, meaning 5G standards will apply to multiple scenarios and enable the digital transformation of multiple industries." Mr. Yang Chaobin, President of Huawei 5G, said: "We need to define a Future-Proof 5G architecture which combining innovative achievements from various industries, to meet the requirements of numerous applications step by step and then to ensure the strategic vision and leading capabilities of 5G."
Yujian Shi, senior vice president, vivo said, "Both Non-Standalone and Standalone 5G NR are very important scenarios. A unified 5G standard for both scenarios has contribution to build up a global 5G ecosystems. The acceleration of 5G will help the earlier mature of 5G terminal industry. As a global terminal vendor, we will continuously create surprising to our customers in coming 5G era. "
Xu Huijun, CTO of ZTE, said, "As a global leader in telecommunications and information technology, ZTE sees the significant importance of 3GPP standard beneficial to whole industrial chain and keeps contributing actively to global standards. ZTE will work together with partners to push forward 5G test and trial steadily, to promote the 5G commercialization world widely."
"Deutsche Telekom is committed to this initiative to accelerate the availability of standardized 5G technologies to meet the evolving broadband demands of our customers," says Bruno Jacobfeuerborn, CTO, Deutsche Telekom. "The early availability of standards will enable smooth evolution paths towards the next generation of communications, provide the basis for extensive pre-testing activities and generate confidence in the benefits and potential of the new technology for the entire industry."
