Note: many of the interpretations below differ fundamentally from the interpretations which have been taught before by readers and teachers of tarot. It is thanks to the Secret Codes of Tarot that Philippe Camoin was able to discover the first meanings of the Major Arcana of the Tarot de Marseille.
This is how he was able to demonstrate that the balls in The House of God are in fact coins falling from the sky, and that this card is not at all negative as was believed by tarotists as a whole. Quite the contrary: "La Maison Dieu" is a card full of rewarding opportunities for those who know to say "yes" to God.

Q: Display table inside row of table when generate PDF using dompdf maybe any some one can help me to solve my problem. In my case I want to display a table base on result of another query. I display the result of query to a row of table too. This is what I mind:

This is what I've done, but the result was messed up especially when I generate to PDF using dompdf. The result show that first row of table based on query data1/data2 always show beside header table (th1/th2).
    echo "

There is only one reality TV show where you can see contestants compete over money for pot-tinged business ideas like edibles infused with hemp oil, or a tropical timeshare where medical marijuana is readily available. That program is The Marijuana Show, a Shark Tank-like reality show where so-called "ganjapreneurs" compete for funding and guidance for their marijuana startups.
Robbins and Paull, a married couple from Taos, New Mexico, created "The Marijuana Show" two years ago and, now, their second season is finally available to stream on mainstream sites, Amazon and Apple's iTunes store.
On those streaming platforms, viewers can pay $2.99 to view each half-hour episode, or $13.99 for the full season, which includes pitches ranging from a Florida man who made a car out of cannabis hemp to a 10-year-old boy from Phoenix who makes pet treats using oils derived from cannabis. Paull told Fortune she thinks 10 million viewers is a realistic goal for the second season with their streaming partners.
Meanwhile, Robbins, an Emmy-winning TV director, and Paull, a former exec at Snapfish, the digital photo service, are currently busy filming a third season of the show in locations across the country—Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Washington, D.C. Medical marijuana is now legal in 25 states, while recreational pot is legal in four states (plus Washington, D.C.) with several more states set to vote on legalizing the drug come November. Analysts estimate that legal marijuana sales in the U.S. could reach nearly $22 billion by 2020—potential growth that is enticing to entrepreneurs looking to cash in on the legal pot market.
Like on ABC's Shark Tank, the program The Marijuana Show hears pitches from entrepreneurs looking for investments to help them turn their big business dreams into reality. The main difference, aside from The Marijuana Show's obvious focus on the cannabis industry, is that the producers and co-hosts aren't typically the ones investing in the businesses presented on their show, or partnering with their contestants, like Mark Cuban and the other Shark Tank hosts.
Instead, Robbins and Paull are mostly vetting contestants' ideas before finding potential matches within the show's pool of accredited investors, which includes business owners and venture capitalists, such as cannabis industry research firm New Frontier Financials and Denver-based marijuana dispensary operator Caregivers for Life. Still, entrepreneurs can potentially reach other investors who watch the show; the creators claim roughly 3 million people watched their first season—though it was only available to stream on their website, along with a handful of other cannabis-focused sites.
"Basically, we're an accelerator and the show is a marketing platform for their products and their company," Paull said.
But, perhaps the biggest difference between this show and Shark Tank is Robbins and Paull tend to be champions of the contestants, rarely offering harsh appraisals. That was on view when Fortune watched the show's New York auditions for the third season. Although Robbins and Paull gave some contestants more enthusiastic reception than others, the hosts didn't reject any outright—they promised to follow up with every company.
It wasn't a very shark-like atmosphere, but that seems to be exactly what The Marijuana Show wants.
Paull adds that she and Robbins don't take themselves "as seriously" as the Shark Tank hosts (and, she even pokes fun at the Sharks' over-serious opening credits, where they stand, arms folded and mean-mug for the camera).
While The Marijuana Show's first season came together more or less on the fly, that season still resulted in a handful of actual investments, the biggest being a $5 million offer to BioTrackTHC, a Florida-based tech company that makes software to track marijuana plants from "seed-to-sale" in compliance with states' regulations. In a segment of the industry that is seeing increased competition—Microsoft recently entered the mix—BioTrackTHC already has government contracts to provide its software to businesses in five states, including Hawaii and Washington.
For its second season, the show offered $13 million in total investments to its contestants, and the show's creators say they have "at least $20 million" on tap for the season they're currently filming.
Robbins and Paull said they plan to create a private equity fund—with a $50 million cap and room for a few dozen investors at a minimum investment of $500,000 each—that will go toward funding investments for third-season contestants. The show's creators also hope to add a crowdfunding element that would allow viewers to contribute to certain startups after watching contestants' pitches on the show.
The third season of The Marijuana Show will also feature some celebrity cameos, with hip hop mogul Russell Simmons joining the show. "We're using him more as an advocate and as a celebrity mentor," Paull said. Former NFL running back Ricky Williams—who has championed marijuana's potential medical applications for athletes—will also appear on the show's third season.
So, what types of businesses and ideas do Robbins and Paull still find the most enticing? They said the edibles market is too saturated and see opportunities for packaging for marijuana products, laboratories that test cannabis products and ancillary businesses that don't sell or handle actual pot products but support marijuana business owners. What turns them off? If entrepreneurs "don't know their numbers, their financials, their valuation, we'll most likely ask them to come back another time," Paull said.

Vard Marine's US office is in Houston TX, the main hub for the oil & gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico. Many of the world's leading energy companies are our neighbours in the Energy Corridor District – a unique urban environment surrounded by two of the largest natural parklands of any metropolitan region in the US.
Houston enjoys a thriving professional arts scene, an avid food culture and eclectic neighbourhoods. Much of daily life happens outdoors thanks to warm year-round temperatures, and there are plenty of opportunities to get out on the water, whether it's sailing in Galveston Bay or kayaking through local bayous.
Vũng Tàu, a port city in the south of Vietnam, is the hub of the country's offshore oil & gas industry. Vard Marine's Vũng Tàu office is located within our parent company VARD's shipyard, in the heart of the city's port on the South China Sea.
Vũng Tàu is a very family-friendly community, with miles of sandy beaches that make it a popular seaside getaway. A short fast ferry ride or car trip connects Vũng Tàu with Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's second largest urban centre.
Our roles centre on our strengths in naval architecture and marine engineering. Vard Marine is enjoying an extended period of growth, and we're always happy to hear from naval architects, mechanical engineers, structural engineers and project managers with training and expertise in engineering or marine environments.

← Muslim Groups Say It's Not Over, Warn of More Threats From Christians
TERRORISM: Bangladesh Assessment 2014 June →
Israel and the 'Jihadi Spring'
Posted on June 24, 2014	by chainsoff.
PJMEDIA\RogeR L Simon
Forget the "Arab Spring" that never was. We are now in a "Jihadi Spring" that is very real. That murderous Al Qaeda spinoff the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), known locally as DAASH, has already taken control of large parts of Syria and Iraq and yesterday seized a transit point with Jordan.
But what do they really have in mind? It's not that hard to guess. Frank Lamb, a man bizarrely sympathetic to DAASH/ISIS (a group that likes to lop off people's heads!) and in contact with their leadership, writes at a website called muslimvillage.com that their dual goal is to establish a Sunni caliphate and, naturally, "liberate" Palestine:
With respect to events surrounding its takeover of Mosul and other social media broadcast exhibitions of mass brutality, ISIS claims it was done for a purpose, the same purpose that other state and non-state actors have used over the past two decades and that is for 90% of the world's 1.5 billion Muslims (Sunni) to free themselves from the oppression of the 10% (Shia).
Several reasons were given as to why Palestinians should hold out hope for ISIS succeeding in their cause when all other Arab, Muslim, and Western claimed Resistance supporters have been abject failures and invariably end up benefiting the Zionist occupation regime terrorizing Palestine. "All countries in this region are playing the sectarian card just as they have long played the Palestinian card but the difference with ISIS is that we are serious about Palestine and they are not. Tel Aviv will fall as fast as Mosul when the time is right", a DAASH ally explained. Another gentleman insisted, "DAASH will fight where no one else is willing."
If I were Benjamin Netanyahu, I would take them seriously — and I imagine he does.
Debkafile is not always a reliable source, but in this instance I have a suspicion they are onto something:
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu posted notes Friday, June 20, to President Barack Obama, King Abdullah of Jordan and Chairman Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority, DEBKAfile's exclusive sources in Washington and Jerusalem reveal. They dealt with the rapid advances made by Al Qaeda-related Sunni Islamist fighters in Iraq, now heading towards the Iraqi-Syrian-Jordanian border intersection and how they bore on the security of Israel, the Palestinians and Kingdom of Jordan just next door.
Netanyahu's main point was that Israel's armed forces (the IDF) are the only army in the region with the capabilities and counter-terrorism experience for standing up to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and therefore buttressing the rule of Jordan's King Abdullah and Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah against jihadist incursions.
Indeed they (the IDF) are, and given that Obama is so reluctant to use U.S. forces, promising this and that and then as quickly reneging, it falls to the Israelis to act as policemen in the area. Last night, they hit nine targets in Syria in response to the cross-border killing of an Israeli teenager by fire from the Syrian side of the Golan Heights. This may have been as much a warning to all the bad actors in the neighborhood (Hezbollah, Hamas and now ISIS) as it was yet another slap on the wrist to the mass-murdering Assad. At least the Israelis did something.
The next few months are going to be very interesting in the always dramatic Middle East, and Israel is oddly primed to come out in a stronger position than ever, if they don't get unnecessarily undercut by the Obama administration. This would not only be a good thing for the Israelis but for their Arab-Israeli citizens who of late seem increasingly inclined to remain inside the Jewish state. It's easy to understand why.
Speaking of which, Netanyahu gets much criticism from the left and the right. Sure he has had to make compromises that not everybody likes,

A long overdue makeup post.
I regret not doing one before my Japan trip. :deco13: I had a lot less eyeshadow (I only had Naked 2 & the Shu palettes for a while,) but also had a few new things that I've since finished such as my Paul & Joe pressed powder. This is all of my current makeup. I swap out shadows weekly depending on my mood. Blush as well. Sometimes I get really obsessed with a certain combination or look but that hasn't really been the case in recent months so the variety suits my tastes right now.
I haven't picked up much new since Japan. Instead I've been using what I have and hitting pan left & right. :) Then there are my holy grail items I've been repurchasing for years like Benefit's Get Even Powder.
Definitely a brown natural theme going on!
I'm amazed that lots of people still rave about the Naked 2 palette.
A question: Does the Chanel rouges' color last?
My problem with lipstick is that it doesn't last on me.
Are they worth a try? Or you're in love with the shade and reapply them when necessary?
BTW do you use a lipstick base? I used to have to use one from CANMAKE to get Mac lipsticks to stay. There are a few on the market now.
I sorta regret buying the Naked 2 palette. I forgot that I wasn't much of a fan of UD shadows after trying lots of brands and guess I thought maybe the quality had gotten better. Oh well~ I'll probably pawn it off on my sister eventually.
Thanks for your answer and the subsequent post!
Definitely I'll pop up on their counter soon!
FOR THE LAST TIME STAY OUT OF MY MAKEUP!!!!!
Wah, the Majolica Majorca blushes! Regret not buying them the last time I was in Asia. The package is so cute!
I enjoy these posts so much! The colors are lovely~ I was wondering do you wear makeup everyday and what do you apply it with?
Ahhh, I'm so envious of all these pretty, pretty makeup products ._.
Oh my god, the Revlon Lip Butters are sublime, just picked up the one in Peach Parfait & the Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Crush. Absolutely amazing textures.
I had the Peach one last year! It's amazing how great this product is. I especially love them for outings because I can apply them easily without a mirror.
Only use what you're comfortable with!
The Majolica Majorca blushes are so cute! I recently just bought the Majolica Majorca lash king mascara but I have yet to try it!
How are you liking the Ettusais BB Cream? I'm still using Missha's Perfect Cover but I've been meaning to try out Ettusais' for a while now!
I love Chanel Rouge Coco shine. My HG is the Romance color. They make nice gifts too!
Your collection of blushes are so cute!
i love the ettusais bb cream and majolica macaron blushes too~~ gonna get some in japan!
Ack, I should have done one sooner! I want to start doing them every 6 months. I love looking back on these!
I really love your Majolica Majorca blush collection!
Love the look of the majolica majorca make-up and the lipbalms!
They look cute and classy. I only own one lipbalm haha, don't feel that comfortable wearing different colors.
Understandable. You gotta be comfortable in your own skin!
I've been thinking of buying the Benefit get even powder, it feels so soft in store! Do you like how it sits throughout the day?
you keep all your products so nice and clean and neat! i always manage to get foundation or mascara on the outside of the packaging :S woops!
wowww~ i love your make up stash!! where did you get the Love Switch x SWEET Pink Pearl Brown ?? It's so cute!!
Also, which brown mascara do you think is the best?
I've seen both the pink brown mascara and majo mascara around, but idk about fiberwig.
I got the Love Switch x Sweet while in Japan this year.
My favorite brown mascara is Love Switch's original Pink Brown.
Sadly all these brown mascaras are very different. Love Switch's original is decent lengthening and volume plus easy to remove and light brown color. Fiberwig's is super lengthening only and easy to remove and much darker close to black. Majolica Majorca's is super voluminizing, lengthening, and a medium brown but hard as heck to remove.
I love your make up collection posts so much ! I remembered how amazed I was when I saw the first one on you blog. It's a really good idea to keep an overview on the make up items one loves most. I'm inspired to do such a make up collection post of my own make up.


Discussion in 'UPS Discussions' started by true_1_ace, Feb 25, 2006.
apart or breaks down(at least once a month) just friday I snapped a shock tower off lol,how about it folks who's got the worst and oldest UPS vehicle,and I use the term vehicle loosely.
yo ace welcome to the boards,I`m from Toronto ,we went to Ottawa a few months ago for a visit.Nice town.
almost 500 thousand miles on it.
to make extentions if needed.
Good tip, some of the shifters were of a certain length that you had to be careful not to rack yourself up when getting out of the seat and turn toward the bulkhead door. I have actually had two shifters break off in my hand over the years. Since I've finally got an automatic, I don't have to worry about hurting "Big Al and the Twins". My left foot and right arm get a lot of rest too!
We also had a driver who was about five foot tall. He used to drive a P500 and would ducktape a little peice of a 2x4 to the Clutch Pedal so he could push it in far enough to shift gears.This was the same guy who hated dogs, one time he left a Delivery Notice on a Road Kill saying "I did not kill this Dog".The tire tracks across the front yard.....?
I have an old 1982 P800 that is a high stepper. This POS has holes in the back that you can see the road. If you have a package on my truck when it rains and it's placed on the floor your in trouble. Everything is soaked and I have picked up a pkg and had water run out of it.
I have wrote all this up but, there are too many cracks and holes to be fixed so I guess my customers are just out of luck and UPS will keep paying claims due to h2o damage.
I'm still waiting on a new paint job for my POS that might happen sometime this year.
hey ace,is that pic the joker of batman fame?

I hate to say i love that truck.
Welcome true_1_ace, I'm a misc. driver and have many opportunities to drive lot of crappy old package cars, but the new automatics are heaven sent. The automatics have more room to put packages on the floor in the cab like a dell computer and wider doors to pull the computer out. Also the heater is awesome!!

Home Nursing News Take Nursing for the right reason, says former UP Dean
Take Nursing for the right reason, says former UP Dean
With employment opportunities for over 300,00 unemployed or underemployed Filipino nurses continue to dwindle significantly, Dr. Josefina Tuazon, a former dean of UP College of Nursing and now a member Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Technical Committee on Nursing Education, has advised incoming college freshmen to take Nursing for the right reason and if possible, choose other college courses that perfectly fit both their skills and interests.
"If they want to take up nursing because they think they have the aptitude and inclination to become a nurse, irrespective of going abroad, irrespective of earning dollars, then go. We need nurses like that. In other words – take nursing for the right reason," she said during an interview. "If you are using nursing as a stepping stone to go abroad, then don't take up nursing because this is not the right time. Employments are not going to be readily available and more importantly, in this profession, we don't need people doing that."
The sudden boom in demands for skilled nursing professionals abroad some 8 to 10 years ago has led to the mushrooming of substandard nursing schools in the Philippines, and with this phenomenon also comes the continuous degradation of nursing education which only puts the Nursing course at the center of public spotlight. American dream for Filipino nurses has also taken a back seat as U.S.A. is still suffering from retrogression which also affects even its local nursing graduates. For this reason, Tuazon firmly agrees that this is not the best time for students to consider Nursing as the stepping-stone to work abroad because they might just end up frustrated just like the other 300, 00 or more Filipino nurses who are still groping in the dark.
"What made nursing different – the reason the reputation was good – prior to this trend? Before, only those who had the inclination took up nursing. But now, there are students who were even forced to take up nursing to help in the family. That is not exactly the right characteristic, the right attitude, the right mindset for nurses to give (the) nursing (profession) a good name abroad or anywhere else," she maintained.
Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz, on the other hand, urges Filipino nurses to look outside the box and search other medical-related jobs outside teh hospital setting.
"With the fast-growing and innovative trends and advancements in the healthcare industry, I encourage you to go out-of-the-box, beyond the traditional clinical jobs, and explore other emerging medical and health-related careers that are needed by our labor market today," she said.
Healthcare information outsourcing sector of the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, for example, is now one of the "fast-growing sectors" that offer over 100,000 medical-related jobs to nursing graduates. According to Baldoz, Nursing graduates can also consider working as clinical research associates who monitor and administer health and safety protocols and related study training to assigned work sites.
"If they are into clinical review and decision making, they may consider a career as a Clinical Appeals Specialist who abstracts clinically relevant facts documented in the patient's medical record, reviews clinical cases and responds to written medical appeals of patients and clients," Baldoz added.

AT&T now blocking or labeling more than 1 billion robocalls per month
Via AT&T news room
What's the news? AT&T*, a leader in the fight against robocalls, has ramped up its spam-swatting to more than a billion calls per month. Fraud calls are blocked from reaching your phone, and suspected spam is labeled so you can choose to answer or not.
AT&T's approach works for business and consumer lines – wired or wireless. We're on track to double last year's numbers because of our triple-barreled protection:
AT&T Call Protect gives wireless customers automatic fraud blocking and suspected spam alerts.
Our global fraud team runs an additional program that blocks fraud calls to every type of AT&T phone service.
STIR/SHAKEN, a new call authentication technology, is now boosting both programs with extra data for detection and accuracy.
It's all part of AT&T ActiveArmorSM, our combination of 24/7 network protection, built-in security technology and additional security apps that help safeguard your devices and data.
Tell me more about STIR/SHAKEN
STIR/SHAKEN is a protocol that confirms Caller ID is not being illegally spoofed. It works across "Internet Protocol" networks like VoIP landlines and most wireless phones. It's a key step toward giving customers greater confidence and control over the calls they receive.
We are authenticating and verifying hundreds of millions of calls per day, including calls across our own wireless network and calls exchanged with the two other leading US wireless providers. We're also using data from STIR/SHAKEN to help us achieve high accuracy in our blocking and labeling.
As a customer, what do I have to do?
Wireless customers don't have to do a thing to get AT&T Call Protect blocking and labeling. It's built in the network at no extra cost. If they like, they can download the free AT&T Call Protect app to customize their settings.1
All customers benefit from our fraud team's extra blocking program and the STIR/SHAKEN data that feeds into it.
AT&T Phone digital home phone users can opt into Digital Phone Call Protect, which is similar to AT&T Call Protect. Just go to your account settings on myAT&T and turn it on.
It's just another day's work for AT&T ActiveArmorSM.
"With AT&T ActiveArmorSM, we detect and prevent security issues with multiple layers of protection," said Jenifer Robertson, chief customer officer, AT&T Consumer. "Our robocall efforts are a prime example."
"Our ultimate goal is to be able to report fewer blocked calls, as an indication that fewer illegal calls are being sent," Robertson said. "We'll continue to work with law enforcement and the Industry Traceback Group to trace illegal calls back to the source."
We counted at least seven federal enforcement actions against phone scammers in 2020 resulting from evidence gathered by AT&T. Our work through the traceback group helped the FCC to propose a record $225 million fine for a spoofed caller ID campaign to sell health insurance.

This is so damn cool GP. I loved it. How are you getting your hands on these anecdotal incidents? You kept a log of it or got hold of Squadron Record Book. Glee.
The CBI Roundup was the military weekly newspaper distributed to the troops, much as other papers and magazines were, such as 'Yank', 'Stars and Stripes', etc.
Williams was one lucky guy, but I wouldn't have volunteered to ride with him…just in case his luck ran out.
haha, Bev, there have been a few people who agree with you!
SAWING HIS BED IN HALF—THE MILITARY VERSION OF SHORT-SHEETING THE BED? WE HONOR YOU FOR REMEMBERING AND HONORING THEM!
haha, sawed in half or just too drunk to get into bed? You help is much appreciated!
Remembering college, that's all—My first drunk!
Off topic – Hoping you did view posting at Jester's mace. I amended the link to point that out. Thanks.
Good to see you, Sheila!!
Williams led a charmed life, or had one powerful guardian angel!
Someone or something was definitely watching over him.
Wat een verhaal.Zoveel pech en ongelukken .Hij had vast een goede beschermengel.
Ja, daar ben ik het zeker mee eens!
I'm sure he could relate to it. The Hump was a rough route.
A whole world unto itself, G.
Remarkable story. I wonder how long he survived once he was "safely" back Stateside.
Now THAT would be a great question!!
I tried to locate an obituary, but I haven't as yet.
Of course I will!! That's sure happened before!!
It's Pearl Harbor Day — and somehow this post fits today, too. It's a reminder of the nature of war. Some escape, and some don't, and sometimes the reasons for either can't be explained!
I've done a few stories on Pearl Harbor and felt it was perhaps someone else's turn to tell of that day. I don't expect you to visit all of these, but I should have included them in today's post. Thank you for your kind words, Linda.
I wonder if he felt lucky or guilty!?
That would be hard to say now that I think about it. Good point.
In a similar vein is the RAF's belief in a "chop-girl". She would go on a date with an aircrew member and then he would fail to return. Same thing for the next boyfriend, and the third. Within a very short time she would be known to one and all and, surprise surprise, she never got a boyfriend again!
haha, thanks, John. I hadn't heard the story of the 'chop-girl' before.
You are one entertaining Story Wallah.
haha, seems I gave people a lost word to throw around, eh? I might try to find some more, we can't have language disappearing along with history!!
Since I read a lot of British fiction, I was familiar with the term Wallah. Interesting choice of words and perfect for the location of the story.
The CBI Theater had a lot of British and Commonwealth Nations represented, so the newspaper had to appeal to everyone, not just the Americans. I don't think wallah is a term used here very often, which is why I included the definition – I knew quite a few would ask.
He seems quite lucky – the crews with him are the unlucky ones.
Isn't THAT the truth! A flying jinx.
I so much appreciate your farewell salutes. A friend of mine passed away on Tuesday night, former Air Force Captain Tom Knibbs who fought cancer for the past 18 years. Tom served on active duty for six years during the Vietnam War and then went on to pilot Jeb Bush for a number of years. A truly good man. I shall miss his intelligence and his sense of humor.
We lost another hero. I would be honored to have Captain Knibbs in the Salutes, do you happen to know anymore about him?
Thomas J. Knibbs 4Nov48 – 4Dec18 Boca Raton, FL Capt USAF (Vietnam).
I don't blame those who wanted to avoid flying with Williams.
Very true. Does this prove the "When your time is up." theory?
Did you list #41? Did I miss it?
Our former President was in the Farewell Salutes on Monday's Naval post. Being he was such a humble man, who didn't even think anyone would come to his funeral, I put him with his fellow serviceman rather than a post by itself. Thanks for asking, he was a good man.
Yes… So I did miss your inclusion in your farewell salutes… 😪 This guy rec'd a few medals too as you know.
His personnel file is quite large, I agree. I really didn't know where to pick and choose!
What a career. If I read it in a book, I wouldn't believe it.
Great post, GP. I think I must be related to Williams… Some people are born without a sense of hearing, or a sense of sight. Me — I was born without a sense of direction! "getting lost while flying less than 50 miles over flat country on a perfectly clear day" is something I could do. Hugs on the wing.
Williams had his guardian angel watching over him or his number was not up yet.
Makes you wonder how that works, eh?!! Thanks for stopping by, Rose!
To love and guide, to rule and guard. Amen.
Funny I can still remember the verse. I only say it now when I'm scared, like when I go on a plane.
It wouldn't hurt to say it daily – for a lot of people!
Great survival story of good luck Williams! Recently I read a story of someone being delayed by a traffic jam and not catching the plane, which he intended to take. He was obviously very annoyed, but called himself lucky after he heard that the plane had crashed. Good luck and bad luck are often close together.
I'm going to go with "good luck" – that's some record.
There are stranger things in this world, eh?!!
They have some terrific stories that have been mostly unheard of too. Thanks for stopping in!

[Updated May 4, 2012] The launch date for the next pair of In-Orbit Validation (IOV) Galileo satellites will be September 28.
Meanwhile, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced today (May 4) that the first full operational capability (FOC) Galileo satellite has now been assembled at OHB System AG in Bremen, Germany, and will be made ready for testing. This is the first of 22 FOC satellites to be built and is scheduled to be ready for delivery to ESA by the end of this year.
The two IOV space vehicles (SVs) will launch together on a Soyuz rocket from Europe's spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, joining the two European GNSS satellites already in orbit.
"Galileo continues to deliver, is on track and within the agreed budget," told the Galileo industry representatives attending the Brussels event. "I call upon European companies and, in particular, on the many small and medium size enterprises to get down to business, to innovate, and be ready with their products when we deliver Galileo in 2014. European industry should be ready to seize a vast market which is there for the taking. This is what we urgently need in the current economic climate".
The new launch will take place within a year of the flight of the first two Galileo IOV satellites, which reached orbit on October 21, 2011. The four IOV satellites are in almost all respects the same as the 14 FOC satellites being built by OHB System.
"We are very proud to have reached this important milestone after only 27 months from the programme's start in January 2010," OHB's CEO Marco Fuchs, said of the FOC SV1 assembly.
"We are looking forward to finalizing the test program and then to transfer the satellite to the environmental test campaign." First launch of Galileo FOC spacecraft from Kourou, French Guiana, is currently expected to take place in the second quarter of 2013.
The current IOV phase consists of the deployment tests and the operation of four satellites and their related ground infrastructure.
Under an agreement with the European Union, ESA acts as the technical lead for Europe's GNSS program and is responsible for acquiring satellites for the program.
As prime contractor for the FOC satellites, OHB is responsible for developing the satellite platform and integrating the satellite with its payload — the part of the satellite that provides Galileo's precision positioning measurements and services to users worldwide. The SV1 payload was developed at Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd in Guildford, UK (also is providing assistance to OHB with final satellite assembly).
SSTL delivered its first completed payload to OHB in April, and both companies have set up series production facilities to prepare the remaining satellites.

Secretary Pompeo considers welcoming Hongkongers into the US
By Froilan Malit on June 2, 2020 Asia News, News
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the United States government is considering the option of welcoming people from Hong Kong in response to China's push to impose national security legislation on the city-state.
Mr. Pompeo said, "We are considering it. I don't know precisely how it will play out. The British have, as you know, a different relationship," when asked if Washington was considering following suit to "welcome Hong Kong people to come here and bring their entrepreneurial creativity".
"A lot of these folks have British national passports. There's a long history between Hong Kong and the United Kingdom; it's very different. But we're taking a look at it," he said, speaking to the American Enterprise Institute on Friday, without giving details about immigration quotas or visas when asked about Hong Kong.
His remarks were later shared by the State Department on Monday.
Also on Friday, US President Donald Trump ordered his administration to begin the process of eliminating special US treatment for Hong Kong to punish China, but stopped short of immediately ending privileges that have helped the territory remain a global financial centre.
Last week, Britain has said it was prepared to offer extended visa rights and a pathway to citizenship for almost 3 million Hong Kong residents.
Last year, Trump signed legislation stating that Hong Kong residents may not be denied visas because they have been subjected to politically motivated arrest, detention, or other"adverse" government action.
On Friday, Trump also issued a proclamation suspending entry of Chinese nations identified as potential security risks, something sources said could affect thousands of Chinese graduate students.
In a statement on Monday, Pompeo said the move would apply only to graduate students and researchers "targeted, co-opted and exploited" by the Chinese government, representing "only a small subset" of such applicants. (Source: The Straits Times)
