PIL against aerobatics at India Aviation

PIL against aerobatics at India Aviation. Revanth K, a law student at NALSAR University, filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) at the AP High Court against the aerobatics being conducted at the ongoing India Aviation 2014 at Begumpet.
Revanth K, a law student at NALSAR University, filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) at the AP High Court against the aerobatics being conducted at the ongoing India Aviation 2014 at Begumpet.
Revanth in his plea mentioned the horrific plane crash that occurred on March 3, 2010, where one of the Surya Kirans lost control and crashed onto a house in Bowenpally killing two pilots.
His plea stated, "Begumpet and its surrounding areas are densely populated and such kind of aerobatic display is going to put the residents of surrounding areas at huge risk. The plea is not against the aviation show but only against the aerobatic display."
Revanth emphatically stated that he did not doubt or question the integrity and the experience of pilots but was concerned about the aerobatic display being held in a congested area where there is no room for loss of life in case of a mishap.
"For an adrenaline rush of 5-10 minutes it is injustice to put the life of residents of the surrounding areas at risk," the PIL mentioned.
Revanth also submitted a letter at the Governor's office with statistics and a request to consider to continue the air show without the aerobatics show as it could cause human loss in case of an accident.
At the Bowenpally accident, the two pilots who lost their lives, flying the Kiran Mk II aircraft, belonged to the Navy's elite Sagar Pawan team. Prior to the fatality, they had performed over 100 successful shows and had a flying experience of over 1,000 hours each.
The defence services use occasions such as Republic Day and Independence Day to demonstrate aerobatics to enthuse youngsters to join the services.

Jakarta Based vector artist Awo (Bismo Prabowo) has been creating vector based art since 2010 after graduating from an advertising major at the University of Indonesia. Awo is currently working as the Founder/Creative Director of a design house in Jakarta.
"Most of my illustrating skills are self taught. At the first I was trying to master manual drawing using traditional media but I realised that I had a lack of hand-eye coordination always drawing proportions that made me never amused with the end result. When I started working as graphic designer and using vector graphic software on a daily basis I realised that vector can be used as drawing tool, I feel that vector based software can cover my weakness so I continued developing my illustration on vector based programs.
In my early years I studied a lot as to how vector based graphics should be handled. Vector has got it's own advantages and limitations, so I do not force the vector work to achieve details that try to replicate/compete with pixels or traditional based media. I embrace the vector aesthetic and try to mix it with modern pop culture art styles which I think is well suited to the vector aesthetic. For example, I adapted the clean bold outlines from street art graffiti and I added the cell shading technique from Japanese anime.
The illustration concept itself was highly influenced by Rockin Jelly Bean and Hajime Sorayama. While I also look up to other artists like Jim Mahfood, Deseo, Alphonse Mucha, Patrick Nagel and Mike Giant".

The rising voices of girls in Pakistan
In any case, Pakistan turned down the proposal on the ground that India's commitment for a plebiscite in the whole of Jammu and Kashmir shouldn't be departed from. Sordid and ugly because the militant record of violence against Kashmiri women and civilians is, it doesn't compare with the size and depth of abuse by Indian State forces for which justice has yet to be done. The origins of the current insurgency in Kashmir relate to latent frustration among the inhabitants.
Asia Bibi: Pakistan's prime court docket upholds blasphemy acquittal
In 2009, protests began over the alleged rape and homicide of two younger women in Shopian in South Kashmir. A judicial enquiry by a retired High Court official confirmed the suspicion, but a CBI enquiry reversed their conclusion. Significantly, the unity between the separatist events was lacking this time.
Maternal Health and Rights: When Basic Needs Are Not So Basic
Its very sad that racist remark and there are definitely shit holes in my nation and a few bad individuals. I went for over three months to Pakistan and liked the individuals normally.
But, Major Brown had already telegraphed Khan Abdul Qayyum Khan asking Pakistan to take over. According to historian Yaqoob Khan Bangash, the provisional government lacked sway over the population which had intense professional-Pakistan sentiments. Pakistan's Political Agent, Khan Mohammad Alam Khan, arrived on sixteen browse this site November and took over the administration of Gilgit. According to varied scholars, the people of Gilgit as well as those of Chilas, Koh Ghizr, Ishkoman, Yasin, Punial, Hunza and Nagar joined Pakistan by selection.
In spite of the Pressler amendment enforced within the 1990s, the army has been centered on improvement of land-primarily based weapon methods and production of military hardware. Domestic innovation resulted within the profitable growth of G3A3 rifles, Anza missile systems, and Al-Zarrar and Al-Khalid major battle tanks (MBTs). During the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the US Congress scrutinised its military aid to Pakistan despite efforts by U.S.
The convening of the Constituent Assembly in Indian Kashmir in July 1950 proved contentious. Pakistan protested to the Security Council which informed India that this growth conflicted with the parties' commitments. The National Conference rejected this decision and Nehru supported this by telling Dr Graham that he would receive no help in implementing the Resolution. A month later Nehru adopted a extra conciliatory attitude, telling a press convention that the Assembly's actions would not have an effect on India's plebiscite commitment. The delay brought on frustration in Pakistan and Zafrullah Khan went on to say that Pakistan was not keeping a warlike mentality however didn't know what Indian intransigence would lead Pakistan and its individuals to.
Similar border ceremonies held by the India (Border Security Force, BSF) and Pakistan (Pakistan Rangers) occur at Fazilka border (India facet) / Sulaimanki, Punjab and Hussainiwala border, Punjab (India side) / Ganda Singh Wala border, Kasur District (Pakistan side). These rituals are attended primarily by the local villagers and garner only a few spectator tourists.
Creation of six militant teams in Kashmir, which included Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), was aided by the ISI. According to American Intelligence officials, ISI continues to be offering safety and help to LeT. The Pakistan Army and ISI additionally LeT volunteers to surreptitiously penetrate from Pakistan Administrated Kashmir to Jammu and Kashmir. The border and the Line of Control separating Indian and Pakistani Kashmir passes via some exceptionally difficult terrain. The world's highest battleground, the Siachen Glacier, is a part of this difficult-to-man boundary.
The current 2010 Pakistan floods have accentuated variations between the wealthy and poor in Pakistan. Abdullah Hussain Haroon, Pakistan's diplomat to the United Nations, has alleged that rich feudal warlords and landowners in Pakistan have been diverting funds and resources away from the poor and into their very own non-public relief efforts. Haroon also alluded to was proof that landowners had allowed embankments to burst, resulting in water flowing away from their land.
The listing, obtained by The Associated Press, was compiled by Pakistani investigators decided to interrupt up trafficking networks exploiting the country's poor and susceptible. The report said police discovered two illegal marriage bureaus in Lahore.
There are additionally allegations that native authorities colluded with the warlords to divert funds. The floods have accentuated the sharp divisions in Pakistan between the rich and the poor. The wealthy, with better access to transportation and other amenities, have suffered far lower than the poor of Pakistan. During the final decade, poverty elimination applications helped lots of the poor to take part and stand up. However the Global financial disaster and other elements just like the occupation of Afghanistan have impacted Pakistani growth.
The army relationship continued even after the Iranian revolution, as Pakistan was among the many first nations to recognise the brand new Iranian authorities. In the aftermath of the hostage crisis in Tehran, the United States severed its ties with Iran, leading Iran to send its army officers and personnel to be educated at Pakistani military academies. Relations became tough following the Soviet–Afghan War, when lots of of overseas fighters (mostly Sunni Arabs) arrived in Pakistan to participate in the Afghan Jihad. Pakistan President Zia-ul-Haq's army administration coverage mirrored extremist views in direction of the Shiites and triggered non secular tensions to rise between Sunni and Shiites in Pakistan, a lot to the discomfort of Iran.

Google Launches Initiatives In Support Of Digital India
Tags: Google, Digital India
Google India Vice President and Managing Director Rajan Anandan said India is already home to the third largest number of Internet users globally with 245 million users as of June 2014 and is on track to become the second largest user market by 2015 and a 500 million-user market by 2016.
New Delhi: Search giant Google has said that it is working with the government to launch a nationwide contest for developing a mobile application for the PM's Office, an initiative to support the Digital India programme.
"MyGov, the citizen engagement platform of the Government and Google are collaborating to launch a nationwide contest to develop a mobile app for the PM's Office," Google said in a statement.
Google said the mobile app will bring the PMO to every citizen and the contest will showcase how Indians can build a world class app. As part of supporting the Prime Minister's vision, Google will run a number of initiatives which also include programmes such as helping women get online, getting Indian SMEs online and showcasing India's rich heritage and culture online which will further promote the digital empowerment of citizens.
The search giant said it will continue to build a vibrant language ecosystem online and help the government transition into the increasingly 'mobile' India. To encourage digital literacy and Internet safety, Google is also introducing curriculum for schools, officials and elected representatives.
"I'm happy Google is coming forward to roll out initiatives that will contribute to the Digital India vision. I'm sure others will come forward and join this moment," Department of Information Technology Secretary RS Sharma said.
"Yet, there are more than a billion people who will need to be brought online for India to realise the vision of a digitally connected, knowledge economy. Prime Minister Modi's Digital India programme will play a transformational role in achieving this," Anandan added.

Updated November 20: I have now removed the black-out banner and popup that I had put up for American Censorship Day. I hope some of you in the past couple of days have looked at the link to understand the issues involved.


Unlike the class system from other Nippon Ichi games, Soul Nomad Classes do not have tiers or weapon compatability. The element resistant stats are also not present, along with the reincarnation system. Monsters and Humans are treated the same to an extent: There are decors that increase the stats of males, females, and monster units.


I'm just like you. I have stretch marks, a few extra pounds, maybe a few muscles that could be more toned, cellulite [which the appearance of got worse and worse as I recently lost weight. UGH!]. Anyway, I'M REAL. However, I try my best to take fitness seriously. But I'm not perfect.
So, without further adieu, here's 5 ways to combine faith with fitness!
You will struggle along your fitness journey, I'm not going to lie. There will be plenty of ups and downs along the way, and it won't always be easy. Some days will be harder than others, yet this is where Jesus comes in to help. Lean on Him to help you when you are feeling like giving up. Pray all your worries and weaknesses to Him and watch Him strengthen you in your fitness journey. You will be amazed at the will power and strength He can give you!
♦ Fill a journal with verses that bring you motivation.
Writing verses down is one of my favorite ways to reach God and feel connected. I keep a special notebook that ONLY contains Bible verses and motivational quotes. Whenever I find a verse I feel moved by, I immediately write it in my notebook so I can look back at it when I need it the most. Having a notebook like this during your fitness journey will be very important! Whenever you're feeling down or need a little extra push, you'll have a notebook to look through and find the strength to keep moving forward. Pick Bible verse and motivational quotes that mean something to you!
♦ Look to Jesus for motivation, not social media.
The fitness world on social media is huge, and it's ridiculously easy to fall into a whirlwind of comparison and self doubt. There will always be women online who are in incredible shape and seem to have perfect lives. It's easy to get caught up in comparing yourself to others, leading to feelings of frustration, negative thoughts and a lack of motivation to keep going. Turn to Jesus for the motivation to keep going. Give your journey to Him and He will provide you with all the motivation you need. You will realize that you do not need social media for guidance along your journey. Jesus is there to support you and help you keep going to reach your goals.
♦ Treat your body well.
Your fitness journey needs fuel to keep going and rocking those workouts. Remember, God said your body is a temple and you need to treat it as such. Fuel your body with healthy, all-natural foods and avoid anything processed and packaged. Most processed products are filled with chemicals that do harm to your body and are not meant to be consumed. Stick to organic fruit and veggies, grass-fed meat and lots of water. Fueling your body properly will help you the most for achieving the fitness goals you have set for yourself.
♦ Find a faithful workout partner.
Your fitness journey will be even better if you have a friend or family member as a workout partner. Having a workout partner will make it easier to get up for those early AM workouts and to eat the healthy meal over ordering pizza. You will need that partner to help you keep your focus on Jesus, too. You can pray together when the going gets tough, while also keeping each other accountable to keep going.
Your fitness journey can be tough, but do not forget that your faith can help you make it through. Remember to lean on God when you begin to feel overwhelmed or losing motivation. He will never steer you wrong. You can always count on Him!

Trio buried alive hunting Paraguay treasure
May 20, 2014, 11:32 am SGT
http://str.sg/ZwFA
ASUNCION (AFP) - Three men hunting for legendary treasure in Paraguay were trapped deep underground and assumed dead after the earth suddenly caved in around them, police said Monday.
"A rescue is humanly impossible. It is unlikely they are alive," firefighter Daniel Aquino told reporters about the trio that went illegally digging at the weekend in Aregua, about 30km outside the capital Asuncion.
The men - aged 64, 52, and 28 - and who did not have a permit for the dig, fell victims to the cave-in on Sunday at about 50m underground.
Locals long have been obsessed with legend that during the 1864-1870 War of the Triple Alliance some 10,000kg of gold were stashed away somewhere in the capital area to keep it from being looted by outside forces.
Historians have shrugged off the story.
But it captures many people's imagination in the largely rural, poor South American country. And the digging goes on.
The war pitted Paraguay against Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay; most of Paraguay's men - about 85 per cent - were wiped out in the conflict.


"Well, I was going to veto the omnibus bill and Paul told me in the strongest of language, 'Please don't do that, we'll get you the wall.' And I said, 'I hope you mean that, because I don't like this bill,' " Trump told The Daily Caller in an interview Wednesday.
"Paul told me in the strongest of terms that, 'Please sign this and if you sign this we will get you that wall.' Which is desperately needed by our country. Humanitarian crisis, trafficking, drugs, you know, everything -- people, criminals, gangs, so, you know, we need the wall."
But Trump said, "And then he went lame duck," referring to Ryan's decision to retire instead of running for re-election in 2018.
"And once he went lame duck, it was just really an exercise in waving to people, and the power was gone so I was very disappointed. I was very disappointed in Paul because the wall was so desperately needed. And I'll get the wall," he added.


A physical demand level, described as the exertion of up to 100 pounds of force occasionally, or up to 50 pounds of force frequently, or 20 pounds of force constantly to move objects.
It seems that the heavy work in the quarries and the new railway gradings is done mainly by Italians.
Emma felt that she could not do too much for her, that Harriet had a right to all her ingenuity and all her patience; but it was heavy work to be for ever convincing without producing any effect, for ever agreed to, without being able to make their opinions the same.
The fitful bursts of sleet had changed into a steady rain and the horses had heavy work even without a load behind them.
It was wild and heavy work, without a drink or thought of drink.
We were to start before old Sol got in his heavy work, but we haven't had breakfast yet.
It was a hard trip, with the mail behind them, and the heavy work wore them down.

But there was little time for laughter in those days, what of our heavy work and of the awfulness of Wolf Larsen's living death.
Not only were the bars that protect it intact, but the blinds inside of them were drawn, as I had myself drawn them early in the evening, as I did every day, though Mademoiselle, knowing that I was tired from the heavy work I had been doing, had begged me not to trouble myself, but leave her to do it; and they were just as I had left them, fastened with an iron catch on the inside.
The long-impending clash came one evening after a sultry, dusty day when Rose, occupied with a large washing in the morning and heavy work in the dairy in the afternoon, realized with compunction that never had she come so near to neglecting her boy.


I haven't talked about The Shanhasson series in the past year or more. I kept thinking, "Oh, I've talked about it so much already–I don't want to bore people." But then I realized that I lost years of posts when I left yahell hosting, and so if you're a newish blog reader in the past year or so, you might not have any idea how it all began.
I've always tinkered with writing. I was writing Walter Farley The Black Stallion and Gone with the Wind fanfiction way back in elementary and high school. I have enough credits for a minor in English, and one of my all-time favorite classes really was a Romantic Period class on Byron, Shelley, Blake and crew (alas, Conn was NOT my teacher). But in all those years of writing both for school and pleasure, it was a hobby.
I never took it seriously, until my beloved sister called me in the fall of 2003 because she'd finished her first book. Other than fanfic stuff I'd finished as a kid, I couldn't say I'd ever finished anything. Certainly nothing that was entirely MY OWN. She even sweetened the pot by saying she'd only let me read HER story if I let her read MINE.
The story I had the most finished was then called My Beloved Barbarian. It was a kind of mishmash of all my favorite elements of both fantasy and romance. A little bit of Johanna Lindsey, Robert Jordan, George RR Martin, not to mention all the Scottish and Regency romances I'd read in my 20s and early 30s. I adored both fantasy and romance, but it's hard to please me as a reader with "romantic fantasy" because it's usually not romancy enough. Fantasy Romance is usually too lite on the fantasy for my tastes.
So I set out to write what I couldn't find at the time. Steamy, highly romantic yet very epic fantasy.
With my sister's encouragement, I finished the first draft of My Beloved Barbarian around October of 2003 and went on to write its sequel, then titled Khul's Beloved by Christmas. YES — a huge amount to accomplish in just a matter of months. MBB clocked in well over 500 pages and the first draft of the second book was almost as long.
Remember, these were the first books I'd ever finished. e.g. I didn't know ANYTHING. My POV was all sorts of messed up. My heroine had significant problems, speaking too modern–while my heroes spoke too stiffly and formally.
But it was a start. The beginning of the dream.
Yes, there were dark patches. Like the first time I entered an RWA contest. Yowsa, did I learn a LOT! I rewrote the books entirely from scratch and tried again in 2004 with contests. MBB even finaled in a few that time and I got some nice agent requests but no bites.
Then I hit another bad patch in 2005. I was learning all this new stuff about plotting and characterization — basically figuring out all the things I'd messed up and feeling overwhelmed that I'd never get it right again. I doubted that I'd ever finish a book with the same kind of overwhelming love and excitement. I was too hung up on the rules and I'd lost the love.
I started to fear I'd never finish a book again. In fact, I didn't finish a single book in 2005.
But Beautiful Death helped break that vicious cycle, and in 2006, I decided I was going to rip MBB apart and rewrite it yet again. I murdered my heroine and recreated her. But as I threw out those hundreds of pages to start over for the third time, I realized I'd done quite a few things right. It was my job in this third and final draft to highlight those things I'd done right and fix the things that were wrong.
It might sound depressing to think about throwing out yet another draft and starting from scratch (by now, I'd written over 1000 pages in this series only to throw them out), but it proved my love for these characters. Turning MBB into The Rose of Shanhasson was like coming home and finding it more wonderful than even I remembered. Surely I didn't really love this story that much (wrong!). Surely it wouldn't make me cry AGAIN. (I was mistaken.) Surely it wouldn't keep me up until all hours of the night when I already knew exactly what happened (ditto, again).
The biggest plus to working so hard and rewriting so many times: years had gone by and I found the courage to do things that never occurred to me when I first started. I'd grown so much. I wasn't afraid to make the difficult choices, to really put my characters through the Three Hells and bring them back again.
It was a long road, and so "Faith of the Heart," the original theme song for Enterprise, became the major theme song of this series. Along with Kiss from a Rose by Seal and Everything I Do (I Do It For You) by Bryan Adams. Those songs instantly put me in the Shanhasson world. I can't hear them on the radio without thinking of Gregar, and usually, I burst into tears.
It's been a long road fraught with tears and heartache and doubt, but through it all, the Lady's Moon shines down with love from above. Love, the greatest gift of all, and the greatest sacrifice.
Haven't even read Return yet and know you're going to have my emotions all over the place…heck, you already do!
Joely, I must admit The Rose made me fall in love with your writing. I absolutely adore the characters and world you've created because they are a perfect balance of romance and fantasy. You have every right to be proud of this series. And for the record, I never tire of hearing about it.
Awww, now you guys are making ME cry! Hugs and thank you!

Lessons From Hoylake
July 20, 2014 Matt Long
Matt Long, M.A., M.Ed., CC-AASP
In the latest from the Lessons From… series, we look at three valuable takeaways to draw from watching some of the game's top players try and chase down Rory at his best. In the end, Rory's best is about as good as it gets.
1) When it comes to your thought process, simpler is better
Immediately after Rory holed his putt to win on the 72nd hole, he sat with ESPN's Tom Rinaldi and shared about his mental approach throughout the week. It boiled down to two words he kept telling himself before each shot: "process" and "spot".
Process was a reminder to keep his attention focused on his process and his routine, and not on results. This simple word served the huge purpose of helping McIlroy avoid distracting thoughts of his score, how close other players were to him, and everything at stake in what was to Rory the game's most prestigious championship.
Spot was a reminder on the greens to simply pick a spot and let it go. Again, having one simple word works in your favor when we have a tendency to over-complicate the game. In Rory's words, these were "the only two words I had in my head over the four days, and it worked pretty well." I'd say it did.
2) Just because you are competing with other players doesn't mean you're playing against them
The word "compete" comes from the Latin word competere, which is translated "to strive together" or "strive with". In its purest sense, competition involves two (or more) players striving to perform at their very best – and in the process, bringing out the best in those around them. Competing with a worthy opponent does not require ill will toward them.
All throughout Sunday's final round, and then even more so after the round, Rory's friendships with his two closest pursuers was evident. McIlroy and his playing partner Rickie Fowler consistently chatted throughout what had to be some of the most pressure-filled moments of each player's young career. And after the round was over, and both Fowler and Sergio Garcia had fallen just short of catching Rory, the three shared some genuine moments of camaraderie on camera.
In the end, it was a perfect illustration of what it means to compete. Starting the day 6 and 7 strokes behind Rory, Fowler and Garcia found a way to perform brilliantly and give themselves a chance at what would've been an incredible comeback. And Rory handled the pressure of playing with such a large lead in a beautiful way. Our best performances are often when we embrace the challenge of a worthy opponent and strive together to bring out each other's best.
3) Mind your own business
Another gem from Rory's post-round interview was his reaction to Sergio getting to within two strokes of him on the back nine (the closest anyone would get). Rory talked about being aware that Sergio was right there, but needing to "mind his own business" and just play solid golf.
We won't always have the luxury of a big lead late in a tournament, but the strategy's value remains – stay in your own process, focus on the things you need to do to play well, and mind your own business.

ZX81 Draughts Challenge - Part 2 - A Little Hi-Res
By David Stephenson 14 November BASIC, Games, Programming, Project, Sinclair, Z88dk, ZX81 Leave a Comment
In the last post I took up a challenge set by Tim Hartnell 34 years ago, namely apply his BASIC ZX81 board games layout to multiple draughts games types. In this entry I'll delve into some of what's been put together so far.
In the Dec / Feb 1983 edition of ZX-Computing, Tim presented two versions of his finalised BASIC listing, one that plays the Corners variant of draughts from the previous ZX-Computing article, and another version that implements a Spanish checkers style game. The other standout new feature is the addition of a full screen and
somewhat more graphical checkers board.
As graphics are where it's all at these days, best to start by bringing some major graphical improvements to Tims' Board. As covered last time, I'm developing (or is that re-developing?) the draughts game using the brilliant Z88DK / C compiler. Of course C in itself does not have any real graphical capabilities, but thankfully within Z88DK are a host of ZX81 (and other micro-computer) targeted graphical options. Desire Hi-Res graphics on a ZX81? Yes we do. Well Z88DK has them, so of course we're going to be using those.
Draughts Board in Hi-Res ZX81 Style
There are three main parts to how I approached drawing the board and game men. Firstly, you can print regular characters with a simple printf("blah") statement, or the ZX81 character can be got at by switching with the zx_asciimode[0] command. More importantly the ZX81 BASIC "PRINT AT" statments are also catered for by Z88DK with the provision of the zx_setcursorpos(Y,X) function. Armed with these tools, the underlying checker board can be printed up quite easily.
Secondly, some nice Hi-Res flourished are easy enough to factor in with ZX88DK draw functions, such as drawing a boarder with drawb. All quite straight forward, with the exception that the Hi-Res screen does not allow normal characters to be output directly, as a different memory area is allocated to Hi-Res Graphics, one that swaps out the normal display page for its own. Again however once again there are commands for that. Anything written to the normal display can be copied to the Hi-Res display with a variety of copytxt() function options. So that's most of the standard display options accounted for.
Draughts Board Set up for Spanish Checks.
Thirdly, and lastly, the game men / pieces: There are options to define sprites for use with Z88DK, the men could have been created via this method, though at least for now, I've not used this functionality. Instead I've implemented a kind of User Definable Graphics option for the game men. The men are plotted via the Hi_Res functions onto the game board, thankfully this option is quite fast, and adds a nice animation quality. The UDGs are quarter of a full game piece, and credit to goes to the speccy_charater_builder website for making prototyping the men painlessly. The same UDG is used for both player and computer opponent. King pieces have also been defined for use in a fuller draughts game than described in the ZX-Computing articles.
That's it for the moment, in Part 3 I'll cover further graphic details as they affect the general game play and setup. I should say Games set up, as there are to be multiple draughts variants to choose from before the start of game play.

I have personal and professional experience with the aftermath of divorce, and family violence. People are much more likely to hurt those whom they love than to hurt a stranger on the street. It is love that that stirs up into passion and sometimes erupts. I have found that time tends to cool down emotions. Often, people who love one another eventually forgive one another. Other times, splitting up is the only path to find peace.

life at sea with
paul motte-harrison
By Michael Brady
If the beating heart of a ship is its engine room then the Purser's Office is its nervous system, connecting the various departments and ensuring smooth operation. A skilled and talented purser is a necessity, not just for dealing with passengers' requests - which as you will soon read can range from the mundane to the bizarre - but in ensuring the crew remains paid and subsequently in good spirits. This is made all the more easier today thanks to computers and databases but in the Golden Days of the Ocean Liner things were done in a very manual way.
Paul Motte-Harrison is an extraordinary gentleman; a veteran of the Second World War and a former crewman from some truly unique ships. He is a living link to history and it is remarkable that he possesses a penchant for remembering details and - most importantly of all- a good sense of humour. In this way he can give us a fascinating glimpse at life behind the Purser's desk.
Above: Paul looking smart in his P&O summer whites.
Paul, whose full surname is de la Motte-Harrison, was born in England in the 1920s and was completing his schooling in Brighton when war was declared. Not quite fancying a future career in accounting, he opted instead to join the Royal Navy just after his 18th birthday. Initially he trained as a telegraphist, then an electrical mechanic before finally being transferred to Landing Craft - those specialist vehicles designed to beach themselves and quickly offload troops, vehicles and supplies. Paul notes that this is somewhat ironic when one considers he had joined the Royal Navy with hopes to avoid recruitment by the land-based Army!
The Landing Craft's finest hour was undoubtedly Operation Overlord, the invasion of Nazi-occupied France in June 1944 and Paul was there serving as a a Sub/Lieutenant aboard LCT 7069 - a craft designed to carry and offload tanks. Two weeks after the D-Day Landings, on June 17, the LCT was caught up in rough weather and before long breaking waves had overcome the pumps required for bailing the sea from out of the vessel. Taking on water quickly, LCT 7069 foundered and Paul, along with the rest of the crew, were forced to swim ashore with the aid of a flotation device. This was not the end of Paul's naval career however; he would go on to join another LCT for deployment in the Far East - Java and Indonesia. He was eventually de-mobbed in 1946.
Above: An early model LCT unloading a British tank in 1942. Photograph from the Imperial War Museum, London.
Work in post-war Britain was a fairly uncertain prospect in those dark days and the devastatingly harsh winter of 1946-1947 only worsened the situation; many veterans were forced to work menial jobs merely to survive. Paul found himself employed as an Assistant Kennel Manager at a new greyhound stud before becoming a farm hand, even sitting an exam to become an Artificial Inseminator of cattle (although Paul notes that this effort was unsuccessful!) It was in 1949 that Paul made an immense decision and joined one of Britain's premiere shipping lines - P&O. I asked Paul what drew him to do this and he simply replied; "My love for that most demanding of mistresses, the sea - and a recruiting advert." It must have been some recruiting advert!
Above: Paul's second P&O vessel 'Canton', a popular pre-war ship which he joined in 1951. Illustration by Liner Designs - learn more.
Perhaps displaying keen organisation skills, Paul was appointed Junior Assistant Purser and spent relatively brief spells at sea. First it was P&O's beautiful new 'Chusan' in May 1950 -which Paul recalls as being relatively luxurious (although interestingly he notes that few cabins were en-suite.) Then in September 1951 it was 'Canton', a popular liner operating the Far-East 'run' which had been launched before the war and seen active duty as an armed merchant cruiser. It was his third ship 'Mooltan', however, that Paul remembers the most fondly.
Once known as the 'Ship of a Thousand Romances', Mooltan was by now in the twilight of her years. In the 20s and 30s she had originally operated a popular line service to Australia via India and, occasionally, cruises to the Far-East but had been relegated to emigrant-carrying duties after a post-War refit that had seen her converted in a Single-Class Ship. By 1952 Mooltan was 30 years old and her quadruple-expansion steam engines, black steel-plated hull and twin elliptical funnels were relics of a bygone-era. Paul joined the ship in October 1952 as Senior Assistant Purser and found himself berthed in a curious 9-sided cabin on B-Deck - only a short stroll across the main Entrance from his chief workplace, the Purser's Office.
Above: P&O's elegant - if slightly outmoded - Mooltan, a relic of a bygone era of ocean travel and a vessel which Paul remembers with fondness. Illustration by Liner Designs - learn more.
I asked Paul what state Mooltan was in after having been at sea for nearly 30 years and the answer surprised me; "Reasonable. Comfortable, 'slowish', pretty steady and in fair order."
"She was a great ship, very steady in bad weather and still with most of her original ornate fittings and panelling. Like most pre-war passenger ships she had lost some of her glamour when stripped for trooping duties, but proudly bore a brass plate recording those duties..."
As for that unusual cabin? Amenities were sparse; a single porthole, bunk, wardrobe and bulkhead cupboard. In Paul's own words, "Moderately cramped, but acceptable ." Enquiring on his accommodation I accidentally betrayed my background as a 'landlubber' when I referred to the cabin's 'walls'. He gently, and quite correctly, reprimanded me; "Buildings have walls, ships have bulkheads!"
Above: Paul's curious 9-sided cabin on board Mooltan (circled in red, left, and shaded red, right) was just across the hall from the Purser's Office.
Paul explains the nature of his work; "My work as a Senior Assistant Purser kept me in constant touch with the passengers at every stage of the voyage, from the moment of embarkation to the final departure over the side at the other end of the world."
The sheer variety of duties expected of the Purser and his Assistants is astounding. Elaborating on his day-to-day role in the operation of the ship, Paul explained;
"My duties included being able to advise and direct the passengers in any matter relating to their stay in the ship, accommodation, money, postage, passports, landing documents, accounts and entertainment."
"Before opening the Bureau to passengers on each voyage-day, we'd collect that day's news bulletin from the radio room and run off copies (on a hand-operated Gestetner duplicator)for all passenger cabins, crew messes and individual officers. We kept the Bureau manned until 'six-ish' (can't remember actual times) but remained open until late if the ship was in port. During these open hours we dealt with passengers' enquiries, cashed travellers cheques and sold postage stamps for the country of the next or current port-of-call."
"We had to complete, by hand, an alphabetically indexed list of all the passengers. We maintained Portage Bills for both European and Asian crews which noted daily pay and deductions, and which was only finalised on the night (repeat NIGHT) prior to arrival London or Bombay respectively. With the Portage Bills went the individual (hand-completed) pay slips, each detailing all pay and deductions for the voyage."
"Passenger landing passes, for most ports of call, had to be hand-written and stamped. We ran the tote on horse-racing nights, provided items for passengers making up fancy dress costumes. We were on call 24 hours per day, we were kept pretty busy, and all for £30.00 per month pay!"
"At the end of one voyage, London was choked by a heavy smog. We were forced to anchor in the Thames estuary for two nights, and the Portage Bills and Pay slips had to be amended accordingly!"
Above: A form with which Paul became intimately acquainted; the Account of Wages. One had to be made out, by hand, for every member of the ship's 300-600 crew for each 'period of engagement'. Document supplied by Paul Motte-Harrison.
"The first day out on a voyage was a general 'settling-in time', and the first morning at sea was the only time in the voyage that one would expect to see all the off-duty officers strolling the passenger decks BEFORE breakfast! This limited exercise was known amongst them as 'Surveying the Field' - the reason being obvious."
"It was quite extraordinary to note how, after the first day, people's natural reserve and inhibitions broke down and anybody would talk to anybody. The sequence of events following one's first introduction to the passengers at table was to join them for coffee and drinks after dinner in the Smoking Room or Lounge. One then met their friends and so, in a very short time, a large number of people were on first-name terms with each other. Naturally, at duty-times at the ship's Bureau, these same people were 'Sir' or 'Madam' as they came up to cash travellers' cheques, buy postage stamps for the next port or raise some sort of query."
Above: Paul with two companions. Being in constant contact with so many passengers ensured Paul made a number of lasting friendships. Photograph supplied by Paul Motte-Harrison.
"There were passengers and passengers. Some were charming and happy to accept whatever inconveniences ship-board routines caused to their normal lifestyle. Others were less accommodating and some - a minority - were downright rude and demanding. But we coped with them all and survived each voyage exhausted but wondering what the next trip would provide."
I asked Paul if there were any memorable passengers in particular and a few sprang to mind. He explained that Passengers of high importance would earn a 'VIP notice' from Head Office and staff were expected to treat them with a higher degree of care. These 'VIPs' could prove prickly at times; "The titled female of a pair of such wealthy and well-connected cruise passengers made me buy back her surplus postage stamps ( I didn't dare argue), even though we were not calling at that port again until the next year. I had to pay her out of my own pocket."
Another time the Mooltan was carrying Australia's returning rugby team when one of the players was persuaded to demonstrate his skill at handling a Boomerang. Taking a coat-hanger and removing its hook, he threw the makeshift device from one porthole of the Surgeon's cabin only to have it fly back into the waiting hands of one of his mates standing at the next porthole along!
Once, while presiding over a 6-seat table with passengers in the after Dining Saloon, Paul and his companions were being served melon. One of two sisters asked how the melon could be served so fresh while at sea and, presenting a compelling case, Paul explained that the melon was grown in the 'captain's garden' located between Mooltan's two enormous black funnels. "I was able to keep that one going for three days!" Paul notes with more than a hint of triumph.
Above: A period P&O post-card from Mooltan shows some of her elegantly-furnished lounges and verandas.
"Gala night was the great evening of each voyage and passengers would spend days beforehand preparing fancy costumes for the event. The Bureau staff would be inundated with requests for pins, paper clips, sticky tape and such trifles while the ship's shop would sell out of its stock of crepe paper and similar materials. Spirits always ran high on such occasions, epitomised perhaps by the time that several passengers surrounded the Captain's chair at dinner. One placed a toilet seat about his neck with due solemnity, another stood by dangling a chain and a third, quite unexpectedly, emptied a jug of water over him! One gathered that the 'Old Man' wasn't particularly amused. Nevertheless, he still attended the judging of the fancy dress afterwards."
At times there was even time allowed for shore visits and Paul fondly remembers happy days spent in Australian cities with visits to the races, barbecues and even river trips.
"One of the most colourful highlights of any voyage was the departure from Sydney for the homeward run… After the call of 'All ashore that's going ashore!' the passengers used to line the shore-side rail with all their friends and relatives gathered on the quayside. Then came the streamer-throwing. Literally hundreds of coloured paper streamers from ship to shore so that one wondered if they might not be sufficient to hold the ship back as the last rope was cast off. Slowly we would pull away and one by one the streamers would part and drop forlornly into the water, leaving the crowded quay and the ship's side festooned with their trailing ends."
Above: Thousands of colourful streamers seemingly connect P&O's 'Strathnaver' to Melbourne's Station Pier. This was the standard farewell for departing Liners. Image from Flickr user 'Kiloran'; https://www.flickr.com/photos/kiloran/
The streamers held a special significance for Paul, being; "Symbolic of the broken ties with home as many a young man and woman made their first real trip away. For my part, I reckon that I've still got a line stretching those thirteen thousand miles and, as yet, unbroken."
In 1953 Mooltan, the elegant 'Ship of a Thousand Romances', was finally retired after years of faithful service and sold for dismantling - she returned to the U.K on her final voyage and was broken up in Scotland. While most of her crew went to join the new liner 'Arcadia', Paul left the sea to join 'Duncan Wallet & Co', part of the P&O group who claimed to be the biggest ships' stores merchant in the world - 'teaspoons to anchors' as Paul explained it. Leaving after 10 years, he then joined the AMP in the life assurance industry.
Interestingly, Paul would become the penultimate Chairman of the 'LST and Landing Craft Association', providing details of landing craft and their personnel with a mind to reunite old crew members. In this capacity he would eventually meet up with his old signalman and another crew members from all those years before.
Today Paul lives near Brighton, a town very different from the War-time Brighton of his younger years, with its imposing rolls of barbed wire and anti-aircraft gun emplacements. He left me with a parody of Kipling's poem 'If', penned by one of his contemporaries. It eloquently sums up life at sea for those most patient and crucial members of a ship's crew; the Pursers.
If you can keep your head when half the boat train
Lose steamer trunks, and blame the loss on you;
If you can be mistaken for the boatswain
And not get rattled at that error, too…
If you can dance with those not young and pretty,
Stick at your job for twenty four hours on end,
And help to organise the Sports Committee,
Yet still count ever passenger your friend…
If you can drink till dawn and not get blotto,
Avoid the boat deck when the moon is bright,
And never quite forget that little motto,
Which runs - "The passenger is always right…"
If you can keep your temper and your book straight,
Give sound advice to those that dread the "Bight",
Deal tactfully with the Captain - or with Cook's Mate,
And answer silly questions day and night…
If you can meet the ship's Vamp and resist her,
Learn to look on at Sports, yet play the game,
Fall for one girl tho' you dislike her sister,
And treat those two inseparables the same…
If you can act just like an elder brother
To hopeful maids who want to learn a lot,
And steer to leeward of some scheming mother,
Who's marked you plainly as a "sitting shot"…
If you can wear a look of deep sorrow,
When last goodbyes are said to Melbourne's shore,
Then work like blazes - knowing on the morrow,
You must give welcome to two hundred more….
If you can flirt with dowagers through dinner,
To doubtful ladies a bit terser,
Yours is the ship and every soul that's in it,
And - what is more - you'll be a Purser.
Above: Paul in more recent times.

U.S. senators Ron Wyden, Jeff Merkley, Maria Cantwell, Patty Murray, Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan have urged the Department of Energy (DOE) to support the construction of the United States' open-ocean, power grid-connected wave energy test facility at a site off the Oregon coast.
The senators wrote in support of Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center (NNMREC), a partnership made up of Oregon State University, the University of Washington and the University of Alaska Fairbanks, along with other renewable energy partners, that have applied for a cost-shared federal funding award worth up to $40 million to build the wave energy test site near Newport, Oregon.
NNMREC would build upon existing DOE investments to construct a grid connected test facility for utility scale wave energy converters (WECs) at the Pacific Marine Energy Center South Energy Test Site (PMEC-SETS).
If awarded the funding, the Newport-based site would be the first open-water test facility for wave power connected directly to the electric energy grid in the U.S.
"This project is critical to advancing the ability to capture and utilize the abundant marine and freshwater renewable energy resources found in our nation's waves, currents, and tides," the senators wrote in a letter to DOE secretary Ernest Moniz.
The funding award would allow the universities to build infrastructure, such as undersea cables, which private companies would then use to test their wave and tidal current energy innovations in real conditions. Companies seeking to test their designs at the site would not have to go through separate permitting and installation processes – lowering the cost and speeding up the process for developing new wave energy technologies, while bringing business and jobs to the area.

Craft spirit growth is outpacing that of craft beer in the US, registering a CAGR of 13% and 6% respectively, with premiumization and on-premise alcohol sales being key trends driving its emergence, according to Beverage Marketing Corporation (BMC) research.
At current rates, the number of craft spirits suppliers will hit 3,422 by 2021 compared to 1,564 suppliers for craft beer.
The "trading up" mentality has accelerated within the spirits category – high-end and super-premium distilled spirits increasing 5.5% and 10.8% respectively.
Even though craft spirits may be the fastest moving segment of the alcoholic beverage market, it still represents just 2.5% of the overall distilled spirits category.
Craft spirits is also a highly concentrated market with 2% of producers responsible for 60% of cases, according to BMC.
A major trend that has fallen off for the spirits category is new flavor introductions, except when it comes to cocktails.
Flavored whiskey and vodka product introductions have dropped off considerably from a high of 90 new flavored launches in 2012 to 32 entries in 2016.
Sudano noted that this same trend is occurring in the craft beer market and a growing number of craft brewers have been left with a backstock of their flavored (usually seasonal) beer offerings due to decreased consumer demand.
However, BMC found that the majority of consumers (60%) choose cocktails based on flavor profile rather than by brand or base spirit.
Additionally, roughly two-thirds of consumers who try and like a spirits-based drink at on-premise locations such as a bar or full-service restaurant, are more likely to purchase the product off-premise at retail.
American and Irish whiskey are driving most of the overall growth for the category and bringing momentum back to the traditional straight spirits, BMC found.
Helped by the premiumization trend of consumers, American whiskey grew by 5% in 2016 aided by the strength of rye whiskey and small batch and single barrel offerings. It was also the fourth consecutive year where whiskey either equalled or surpassed the growth of non-whiskey spirits, which until recently outgained whiskey for over 20 years, according to BMC research.
Falling in line with this trend, Beam Suntory recently reported strong growth of its super-premium bourbon whiskey brands including Knob Creek, Basil Hayden's, and Booker's, which largely supported a mid-single-digit sales increase for Q1 2017.
Unique aging methods are also differentiating whiskey products and supporting premiumization such as whiskey fermented in Pinot age casks or single malt scotch finished in ex-IPA barrels.
Whiskey brands that highlight their "craft-like qualities with authentic brand messaging" will find more consumers embracing their product, Sudano said.
Can you tell me where you got this comment about interest in Flavor innovation on-premise. Seems unrelated to article, but interesting.

Bookout runs 24 hour race
Bookout crosses the 100 mile marker.
Eris Rindt, Reporter
Running a 24 hour race is seemingly impossible for most but for Social Studies teacher and head cross country coach DJ Bookout this is a dream of the past. The name of this 109 mile race is the Kansas Ultrarunner Society's 6/12/24 Hour Race. The race was hosted in Wichita on the weekend of Nov. 24-25. The runners could either participate the full 24 hours or do shorter runs such as a six hour race or a 12 hour race.
Bookout has been training for this specific race nearly everyday for the past two years. After trying to complete the race in 2018 but falling short, Bookout made it a goal to run everyday. Bookout found a different outlook after his failed attempt last November.
"I run nearly every day, but my journey for this race has been in the makings for at least two years," Bookout said. "I thought about the last time I had run this race and given up at mile 40 since I was very tired and cold… I had to change my internal narrative about this by literally putting one foot in front of the other in order to accomplish a new state of mind. As a way of breaking this race down into manageable chunks, I had brought a small spiral notebook with each lap number in a square so that every time I crossed I could cross one lap off of it in order to have tangible results each time."
This is Bookout's first year as head coach of the Newton High cross country team. Bookout previously coached cross country at Wichita North. Ariel Johnson, one of Bookout's former Wichita North cross country team members, ran part of the ending of the race with him in order to help him stay motivated.
"Bookout was my assistant cross country coach my junior year at Wichita North High," Johnson said. "Bookout has inspired me to continue running at a college level, to have more confidence in my running and be the best runner and person I can be through his continuous motivational comments and pushing his past and present runners to be the best that they can be."
With 69 participants in the race as a whole, only 29 people were able to successfully finish the 24 hour race. COVID-19 had little effect on the race participants but the number of spectators were limited. Bookout crossed the finish line first, not only winning the race, but also being rewarded with a large decorative belt buckle and a wooden first place trophy.
"There was a limit on how many people could be there and masks were required anytime you had to use the aid station or go inside to use the restroom," Bookout said. "There are so few races going on right now with COVID-19 that we saw many runners come from out of state which was pretty cool. I could tell people were happy to be there, happy to be doing something for their specific causes. There is something about pushing through something hard in the acquisition of a goal that tends to bring people closer as they march on."
Bookout's racing days will not stop with this accomplishment. He plans on continuing his training for a 200 mile race, while continuing to inspire students along the way. Bookout said that another goal of his, along with fellow staff members, will be to help students along their mental health journeys.
"My next big goal will be to cover 200 miles in a single span of time," Bookout said. "I find that given the challenges in my life, I need goals to go for in order to provide more meaning and fulfillment. I find that the personal journey helps me be healthier and be a better person in all of the areas that I am called to. I hope that students and staff can take brave first steps in taking care of themselves in the way that they need to this year. Please take the most important first step in your mental marathon by sharing your struggles, you are not alone!"

Artur Mikołaj Wichniarek (ur. 28 lutego 1977 w Poznaniu) – polski piłkarz, występujący na pozycji środkowego napastnika, w latach 1999–2008 reprezentant Polski. Najlepszy strzelec niemieckiego klubu Arminia Bielefeld w historii jego potyczek w Bundeslidze (45 goli).

Kariera klubowa
Wichniarek rozpoczynał swoją profesjonalną klubową karierę w Lechu Poznań w sezonie 1992/1993. W kolejnym sezonie zaliczył debiut w I lidze. W poznańskim zespole nie występował jednak w podstawowym składzie i wiosną 1996 został wypożyczony do grającego w II lidze Górnika Konin. Po powrocie do Lecha w przerwie letniej, przebił się do podstawowego składu, a sezon 1996/1997 zakończył z 30 występami w lidze i 4 strzelonymi bramkami. Po rozpoczęciu kolejnego sezonu przeszedł do Widzewa Łódź, w którym grał w najwyższej lidze do 1999, występując 57 razy i zdobywając 28 bramek (najwięcej w sezonie 1998/1999 – 20, kiedy to został wicekrólem strzelców, tuż za Tomaszem Frankowskim z 21 golami). W tym też okresie ówczesny trener łódzkiej drużyny Wojciech Łazarek – z którym Wichniarek miał okazję pracować w Górniku Konin – zmienił jego pozycję z lewego skrzydłowego na środkowego napastnika.

Jego dobra gra w Widzewie zaowocowała transferem do niemieckiego klubu Arminia Bielefeld. Tam grał w 2. lidze, będąc niekwestionowanym liderem zespołu i najlepszym strzelcem. W sezonie 2001/2002 wywalczył awans do najwyższej klasy rozgrywkowej oraz koronę króla strzelców 2. Bundesligi z 20 bramkami, co dało mu przydomek "Król Artur". Po awansie zespołu z Bielefeld w 2003 przeszedł do jednego z czołowych klubów pierwszej ligi – Herthy BSC. Grał tam regularnie przez 2 sezony, jednak głównie jako rezerwowy. Jesienią 2005 stracił całkowicie miejsce w składzie drużyny z Berlina. Na początku 2006 został sprzedany do swojego dawnego klubu, Arminii. W ciągu trzech sezonów spędzonych w Herthcie zagrał 44 razy w Bundeslidze i zdobył 4 bramki. Natomiast dla drużyny z Bielefeldu strzelił 10 bramek w sezonie 2006/07.

Po 3 sezonach Wichniarek powrócił do Herthy Berlin, gdzie podpisał dwuletni kontrakt. Kosztowało to "Starą Damę" 700 tys. euro. Do tej sumy Wichniarek wyłożył z własnej kieszeni dodatkowe 250 tys. euro. Ponownie założył koszulkę klubu ze stolicy 4 lipca 2009, w meczu sparingowym z , gdzie zaliczył asystę, a jego drużyna wygrała 5:2. 16 czerwca 2010 przedwcześnie rozwiązał kontrakt z Herthą.

30 czerwca 2010 Wichniarek podpisał roczny kontrakt z Lechem Poznań, do którego powrócił po 13 latach. 13 lipca strzelił jedynego gola w wyjazdowym meczu eliminacyjnym do Ligi Mistrzów 2010/2011 z Interem Baku. 3 listopada za porozumieniem stron został rozwiązany kontrakt wiążący piłkarza z Lechem.

Wichniarek został zawodnikiem niemieckiego FC Ingolstadt 04 10 stycznia 2011, jednak z powodu kontuzji kręgosłupa nie wystąpił w żadnym ligowym meczu tej drużyny w rundzie wiosennej sezonu 2010/11, po czym klub zrezygnował z jego osoby. Z powodu chronicznych problemów z kręgosłupem jego kariera sportowa w 2011 uległa zawieszeniu, zaś w 2012 Wichniarek ostatecznie postanowił zakończyć karierę sportową.

Kariera reprezentacyjna
W reprezentacji Polski Artur Wichniarek zadebiutował 3 marca 1999 na Stadionie Wojska Polskiego w Warszawie, w towarzyskim meczu przeciwko Armenii, wygranym 1:0. W drużynie narodowej nie występował regularnie – w ciągu dziewięciu lat rozegrał zaledwie 17 meczów, podczas których reprezentację prowadziło pięciu selekcjonerów. Pierwszego gola strzelił Czechom 28 kwietnia 1999; poza tym pokonywał bramkarzy reprezentacji Luksemburga, Kazachstanu i Estonii. 16 stycznia 2008, po 4,5 letniej przerwie, Leo Beenhakker ponownie powołał go do kadry. Jego ostatnim występem była towarzyska potyczka z Czechami na Stadionie Neo GSZ w Larnace, w której zagrał 45 minut. 7 września tego samego roku poinformował, że rezygnuje z występów w reprezentacji prowadzonej przez Beenhakkera.

Po zakończeniu kariery
Artur Wichniarek występuje jako ekspert w programach telewizyjnych i internetowych oraz współkomentuje mecze piłkarskie. Od 2019 jest jednym z ekspertów firmy bukmacherskiej E-TOTO, bierze udział w działaniach reklamowych i marketingowych. Od 2021 jest stałym felietonistą "Przeglądu Sportowego". W latach 2017–2021 był stałym ekspertem kanałów sportowych Polsatu, gdzie oprócz występowania w tej roli komentował wybrane mecze piłkarskie, m.in. Ligi Mistrzów UEFA. W styczniu 2022 dołączył do internetowego Kanału Sportowego, gdzie został stałym ekspertem magazynu BundesTalk podsumowującego wydarzenia niemieckiej Bundesligi. W lutym tego samego roku dołączył do zespołu redakcyjnego Viaplay Polska, gdzie analizuje wybrane mecze Bundesligi, Ligi Europy UEFA i Ligi Konferencji Europy UEFA.

Nagrody, wyróżnienia i klasyfikacje
Wichniarek został wybrany najlepszym piłkarzem sierpnia 2008 Bundesligi przez czytelników pisma "kicker".
Po rundzie jesiennej sezonu 2009/10 w klasyfikacji magazynu "kicker" otrzymał najgorszą notę spośród wszystkich piłkarzy regularnie występujących w Bundeslidze (otrzymał średnią ocenę 4,78 i znalazł się na ostatnim, 212. miejscu w rankingu najlepszych piłkarzy).

Życie prywatne
18 lipca 2013 został skazany nieprawomocnie na 1,5 roku w zawieszeniu na 5 lat m.in. za malwersacje finansowe, jednak 21 stycznia 2015 sąd II instancji oczyścił go ze wszystkich stawianych mu zarzutów.
