Will Storr: From UFOs to alien worms, I can't believe what some people believe in

From creationists to UFO fanatics, the author talks about the bizarre beliefs he came across while researching his new book.
Your new book, The Heretics, is a journey among the religious fanatics, UFO obsessives and beliefs that appear to defy rational argument. What made you want to want to understand these people?
Both my parents are obviously intelligent – my father went to Oxford. But they're also Christians. Even as a youngster, I could never understand how these apparently all-powerful humans could believe in heaven and hell. It seemed crazy. But if stupid wasn't the answer, what was?
Did anyone in particular make you want to weep?
The creationist John Mackay was very frustrating. I had a very vivid experience of how facts just don't work when you're debating with someone who has powerful, embedded beliefs. Mackay thinks all gay people are going to hell. He said that I only think there's evidence that people are born gay because the Devil has misled me. In his mind, any evidence that appears to go against any of his arguments is a trick by Satan. And yet he still considers himself a scientist.
Some of the people you talk to have/believe they have medical conditions that appear to defy science. Did that change your views of medical orthodoxy?
I spent a lot of time with sufferers of Morgellons disease. Many of these people are convinced they are infested with alien worms. The medical establishment says they are delusional. While I agree many are, I think others have been misdiagnosed, with potentially terrible effects for their professional and personal lives. I met a GP, for example, who had all the hallmarks of Morgellons. Because of his job, he was able to get one of his 'worms' analysed. It was a tropical rat mite. If he hadn't been a GP, the chances are he'd have been dismissed as delusional and put on anti-psychotic medication.
What did your investigations teach you about our capacity to believe in what we want to believe?
I was staggered by this. At any given moment, the brain is bombarded by what's been termed a superabundance of information. And yet it has to present us with a coherent version of the world, often by weaving an easy-to-understand story of our lives, complete with heroes and villains. But stories can have a terrible relationship with truth. We demonise our foes and unfairly elevate those whom we admire, all the while defending our beliefs with often egregiously biased thinking. We're all vulnerable to this – even the sceptics.
You end up as sceptical of entrenched rationalism as you are of the seemingly mad. Does the truth lie somewhere in between?
The truth lies everywhere. The world is abundant with information. We're primed to accept the bits that are useful for bolstering our hero narrative and reject the rest. You can spot someone in the grip of this kind of illusion when the story they tell is too perfect. When a Christian insists an atheist cannot have a strong moral compass without God, that's clearly wrong. And when an atheist refuses to accept that Christianity can bring good as well as harm. That's wrong, too.
Both people are demonising the other. When the 'truth' seems too perfect, beware.

Hand Of Pod is a podcast dedicated to discussing the domestic football scene in Argentina, with the inevitable occasional digressions into the land of the continental cups and the national team. For the most part though, we want to give you a podcast that covers the stuff beyond simply those stories you'll read on every news website. It'll be a little deeper in scope, and will feature regular guests, whether they be local fans or other journalists covering the game, either in Argentina or (if they're passing through Buenos Aires) further afield – previous guests on the pod include Turkish TV journalist Asli Pelit, English football expert Jonathan Wilson, and some bloke called Tim Vickery. We're not quite sure who he was, but he was jolly friendly.
A few words about the HOP theme tune
We have a question-and-answer session towards the end of every episode of HOP, and every six months or so a new listener will tweet or email in to ask what our theme tune is, and who it's by. So, to enlighten you: the HOP theme tune's title, in as much as it has one, is 'The Enganche Theme' (scroll to the bottom of this page for an explanation as to why), and it was composed, recorded and produced specially for us by Nick Ball, Sam's best friend. When he's not making tango/1970s jazz-funk inspired theme music for podcasts recorded half a world away, Nick operates under the name Nicholas D. Ball, fronting Albert Ball's Flying Aces, a London-based ensemble who perform, it says here, some of the finest 1920s-style ragtime and jazz music in all of Her Majesty's United Kingdom. If you're curious and would like to hear more, you'll find the ABFAs' website here.
Once you've listened to the theme tune, the rest of the podcast frankly goes downhill pretty quickly, if we're honest, but here are the people whose voices you'll have to put up with.
Sam Kelly, the founder, presenter and producer of HOP, and the only voice you'll hear on every single episode, is an Englishman who's followed Argentine football from afar (with occasional up-close experiences on holiday) since 2002 and who moved to Buenos Aires in April 2010. He's the author of Hasta El Gol Siempre, which has become possibly the world's least-frequently-updated blog, and a regular contributor to ESPNFC (formerly known as Soccernet) and UK magazine When Saturday Comes, as well as being the Argentine Primera División expert on the Hong Kong Jockey Club's website. He also contributes to American soccer magazine Howler, football quarterly The Blizzard and world football site In Bed With Maradona. During the first half of 2014, Sam is writing for the Daily Telegraph as their resident expert on the Uruguayan national team as part of their World Cup Network. Sam's a River Plate fan, but also has soft spots for Huracán, Argentinos Juniors, Ferro, and frankly anyone who manages to play half decent football in the current climate of short-termism and tactical dinosaurosity in Argentina. His Twitter is here.
Dan Edwards (English Dan) is an Englishman who until mid 2012 was Goal.com's man in Buenos Aires, not only covering the game here for them in English, but in Spanish too. Dan is also on Twitter, and these days works in the newsroom at the Buenos Aires Herald, an English-language newspaper in the Argentine capital (and, fact fans, one of the oldest newspapers on the planet, having gone out daily since the 15th September, 1876). He's a season ticket-holder at Racing Club, the poor boy.
Joel Richards, another Englishman, has lived in Buenos Aires since the (southern hemisphere) spring of 2008 and covers Argentine football for World Soccer. He has written for a number of publications, is the author of Superclásico, and – si Dios quiere – his book on River Plate will be published later this year. He now works as a Proper Journalist covering Latin American current affairs for CCTV's international English-language news channel. His Twitter is here.
Daniel Schweimler (German/Swiss/Whatever We Feel Like Calling Him This Week, Chinese perhaps, or Arab Dan) is not really German, Swiss or any of those things. He went to his first game on the back of his dad's scooter. He was taken to Upton Park in London, when the warmth from the 1966 World Cup was still emanating from Bobby, Geoff and Martin's hands. West Ham lost 2-1 to Burnley. Dan later deviated to Aldershot in the old Third Division after a family move, then radiated back to West Ham in young adulthood. All of this proved good preparation to follow Argentinos Juniors when he landed in Buenos Aires in 2006 – three-sided ground (Aldershot), seedbed of national talent (West Ham), skillful attractive football that ultimately ends in defeat (West Ham), imminent bankruptcy (Aldershot). Dan has an illustrious track record in journalism – he's worked for publications as lofty as the Basingstoke Gazette, as well as for lesser-known organisations such as the BBC, CCTV, and now Al Jazeera.
Santiago Muniagurria is a born and bred porteño with a burning passion for watching and talking about Argentine football, and – crucially, as a Hand Of Pod expert – drinking fernet by the bucketload. Santi first came into the HOP fold after living for a year with Sam's little brother in New Zealand, and meeting up with Sam for a drink on his return to Buenos Aires. He staunchly supports third division team Defensores de Belgrano, and his Primera División team is the much-maligned Arsenal de Sarandí.
Andrés Bruckner is a 34 year-old sports journalist from Buenos Aires. Not being famous, he can quietly admit to supporting River Plate, so has admired Enzo Francescoli's fine movements and spectacular goals (including the legendary bicycle kick against Poland in 1986) and Ariel 'Burrito' Ortega's dribbles. His job posts include being in charge of the Goal By Goal and Play By Play sections at SportsYA!, a now-defunct (in Argentina, at least) online sports portal. Additionally, he worked as a content proof-reader at House Social Media, responsible for Fox Latin America Channels social network content, and was a live sports trader for the German online bookmaker Tipico. Now he enjoys watching matches either in the stadiums or on TV. This is his Twitter account – mostly in Spanish.
Peter Coates is yet another Englishman trying to make a living in Buenos Aires and in addition to the customary teaching jobs and a soul-destroying office job he also runs Golazo Argentino. Having moved to Argentina in 2011 Peter became even more engrossed in Argentine football, and started his blog in January 2012 whilst also contributing articles to In Bed With Maradona and being World Football Weekly's Argentine correspondent. Having previously lived in Mexico, Peter also runs Golazo Mexicano, and consequently ends up watching an inordinate amount of football. He pays special attention to Independiente, Club América and Newcastle United. He can be found on Twitter here.
Sebastian García is Managing Editor for Goal.com in Latin America, and has been in and out of his native Argentina – and various journalism jobs – for a number of years. After failing a trial with Racing Club in the summer of 1995, he decided to study journalism. Football fans across the planet were saved from having to watch a lazy enganche with an eye for a through-ball, but without much motivation to chase rivals when possession was lost (at least until Juan Román Riquelme arrived on the scene). A select minority are instead left having to listen to him on HOP as he rambles for ages against the state of Argentine football, whilst continually opining that everything was better in the 1980s. He has worked at Clarín (on the IT supplement) and was part of the original crew of the Latin American version of ESPN's SportsCenter, before moving to Europe and working at the Torino 2006 Winter Olympics and the France 2007 Rugby World Cup. A couple of Olympic Games (Beijing 2008 and London 2012) and Asian Games (Doha 2006 and Guangzhou 2010), plus the PanAm Games in Rio 2007, were other work adventures this former número 10 embarked on before returning to Buenos Aires.
Seba gets approximately five hours of spare time every six months, and is kind enough to put some of them towards his roughly annual appearances on HOP. The rest of the time, you can follow him on Twitter here (though if you don't speak Spanish, you won't understand an awful lot of it).
Mariano Capalbo was born 37 years ago in Parque Patricios, Huracan's neighborhood, but is a 100% San Lorenzo fan by family inheritance and as a "Cuervo" in the 80's he called many different stadiums "home" until the Nuevo Gasometro was finally built in 1993.
After 15 years working in IT, he found a way of making a living out of watching football and started ArgentinaPreviews, where he offers an information service orientated to sports bettors. Through his Twitter account, he met Sam and the HOP gang and whenever his two little girls give him some free time, he likes to join the discussion.
Seba, Sam and Joel recorded a short-lived podcast for an aborted website known as The Enganche in 2009, and it was that experience which motivated Sam to have another go in late 2010 after moving out to Buenos Aires earlier that year. Over three years, well over one hundred episodes, and over 100,000 SoundCloud plays* later, it would seem this one's been more enduring. We'd hate to put that down to the fact that getting tiddly on fernet with friends whilst recording is more enjoyable than sitting in one's front room talking on Skype, but who knows, maybe that has something to do with it…
Hand Of Pod was recorded on English Dan's old university dictaphone for the first three-and-a-bit years of its existence (up to and including episode 129). From episode 130 onwards, it is recorded on a more professional-grade mic/dictaphone which was paid for entirely by the enormous generosity of regular HOP listener Doug Hart. Muchas gracias, Doug!
Any correspondence should be sent either to sam@hastaelgolsiempre.com, or via the contact form below.
*Those are all the stats we have – iTunes downloads and plays appear to count separately from SoundCloud, and we're not sure about exact numbers for those.

I was recently lucky enough to be part of Mantic's Virtual Open Day, playing in the game live streamed by Dash28, giving a sneak peek at the upcoming supplement book focused on magic and playing big narrative games.
If you haven't watched the livestream yet, I'd strongly recommend checking it out. Matt James from the Rules Committee, who has written the new book, commentated on the game and gave us a fantastic sneak peek at some of the upcoming rules from the new magic supplement.
Getting a preview of the new rules made me realise that they have the potential to fix a problem with Kings of War that's been nagging me for a while. Its a brilliant tactical game, but not always great for laid back 'fun' games – a 'beer and pretzels' game as the Americans say.
In the UK, we don't really eat pretzels, so for us I guess it's just beer…
When I was chatting to Matt before the game, he told me that he'd been a huge fan of the Storm of Magic campaign book back in Warhammer Fantasy. One of his big motivations behind this new book was to allow players to recreate that narrative feel of huge armies clashing on magical battlefields.
I think Matt put it best (I'm very much paraphrasing here);
"When you were first drawn to fantasy wargaming, was it because you liked blank bases, checking angles and calculating the averages on any given dice roll? Or was it because you were drawn in by the idea of a thousand Goblins facing down a charging dragon on a battlefield rolling in magical energy?"
Honestly for me, it was a bit of both. I've always preferred the 'game' element of wargaming, but what's kept me engaged and pulled me in deeper is the hobby and the story.
And I've recently started to feel like I'm missing the story. Kings of War is an excellent tournament game, but I don't feel engaged with Pannithor or any of the other fluff.
Is Kings of War bland?
I'm a tournament gamer through and through and tournament play is how I most enjoy playing wargames. Despite having the reputation as the 'nice Northern King', I go to tournaments to try and win. I always ensure to be sporting and a good opponent but my primary goal is to win as many games as I can and if possible, the event.
My list building and model collections reflects that mindset. When I'm writing a list or comparing a unit, my first (and really only) thought is how it plays in a competitive sense – how fluffy or thematic the unit is rarely has any baring.
But it wasn't always this way. Back in the days of Warhammer Fantasy Battle, tournaments were a sideshow to my main method of playing games – having friends round with a takeaway and a beer. I would frequently host 10,000 point games at my house with 3 or more players on each side of the table. These games were never tactical or even required all that much thinking (they did involved a fair amount of alcohol) but they were certainly always fun. I picked my army for that game based on what looked the coolest or fitted with the theme we were playing.
So has Kings of War pushed me away from narrative wargaming or have I just become boring?
For some reason in Kings of War, I've never really been drawn to repeat these massive games. I know that some have; I often see photos of huge games taking place around the world on the Fanatics Facebook page but for me I haven't ever been interested.
I know that some of this is down to practicalities. Sadly real life has caught up with me over the past few years and one of the reasons that 95% of my Kings of War games now take place in tournaments is because I find it much easier to fit tournaments around my family life than I do having friends over mid-week. This has also inevitably meant that the few games I do play at home are geared towards tournament practice.
But I don't think this is much of a reason – if I was really interested in playing more narrative driven games I'm sure I would have found the time.
I need a connection!
I don't find myself emotionally connecting with any of the heroes and units in the same way as I did with Warhammer. In the days of Warhammer, my Chaos Lord had a name, a back story and I was emotionally connected to the character. I can still tell you of times where he single handily took out a Steam Tank or faced down an entire horde of Ogres – I can also remember many more times where he failed me miserably! I don't have the same connection with my heroes in Kings of War.
While I think the Exemplar Redeemer is an excellent tactical choice, I haven't given him a name or feel any connection to him other than his performance in the game -he's just a stat line to me!
I think this is down to the level of customisation that was available in Warhammer. By building your heroes from the ground up with all the different elements you could customise, they really became 'yours'. This isn't something that I've experienced with Kings of War.
The units in Kings of War feel less like physical representations of characters you're invested in and more like anonymous chess pieces.
I should say that I think Kings of War is a better game than Warhammer ever was. It's an excellent game with a fantastic rules set. It's kept me completely engaged since the start of 2nd Edition and I don't want the core of the game to change.
But there will always have to be compromises – in the pursuit of simple rules, tactical play and excellent balance, Kings of War has had to compromise on its ability to produce the over the top, wacky fun that Warhammer could.
So, could the new supplement change that?
Being one of the few people in the world to have played a game using (some of) the new rules I thought I'd share my thoughts.
It's definitely NOT for tournaments – and that's a good thing
One thing that I really like is the clear separation between the upcoming magic supplement and the tournament game. I think Matt's been very clever here and the way he's designed the rules means that it is pretty much impossible for the supplement to be used in a tournament setting.
This is because players will need to change their army lists based on which Plane or reality you're doing battle on. This would be a complete no-go for a tournament setting, but is absolutely fine for two players meeting up for a casual game.
The inability to use these rules in a tournament setting is excellent, because it means that the supplement can divert away from the usually sacrosanct Kings of War balance, in lieu of just plain stupid fun.
Elements like the Channelling Table or Plane specific allied units that all armies can take, would be pretty much impossible to balance in the core game. But in a supplement aimed at narrative battles, who cares?
Without the limitation of tournament balance, I'm really looking forward to seeing what Mantic and Matt come up with.
A Lived in World
The rules for terrain and battlefields in Kings of War work really well in terms of gameplay – they're well balanced, simple and clean. Equally, the Epic Dwarf map packs that the majority of tournaments (including the Northern Kings) use ensures that tables are fair and balanced for all players. However, put both of that together and battlefields start to feel a little clinical. Perhaps even boring?
I know that the Rules Committee have always been nervous about adding extra rules for terrain, or including things likes a set height for hills etc. They were nervous about doing this because as soon as you do, everyone plays it one way forevermore. Sadly, I think that has happened anyway and the 'tournament standard' has just become the standard. Terrain in Kings of War has becoming boring.
Fair – yes. Balanced – yes. But boring.
The new supplement introduces some Plane specific terrain pieces with their own special rules – adding a bit of much needed character to the battlefield. The effects of these special terrain pieces are subtle, but I think they go a big way towards making a battlefield feel 'lived in'.
Rather than fighting yet again on generic green field #6 with two hills, two forests and two walls etc. your two great armies can clash amongst the burning flame pits of the Abyssal Plane! With the Wicked Ones tempting your forces into damnation, all the while wave after wave of Abyssal denizen strikes at your forces.
It's a small change but I think it's a really positive one. Again, I'm really looking forward to seeing the rules for the other Planes of reality.
It's still Kings of War and there's no bloody Purple Sun!
Pictured: Every Warhammer magic phase
I'm delighted to report that even though this is a magic focused supplement, there isn't a single Purple Sun in sight! If you don't understand what I mean by that, congratulations you were spared the "fun" of a Warhammer Fantasy 8th Edition magic phase.
World ending spells are not fun, at least not for both players. They might be fun for one player that gets to hits the 'auto-win' button, but seeing as you've committed to a game that requires at least one friend to play, I can't imagine you'd be able to hit that button too often before all your opponents dried up.
Luckily (as far as I've seen!) there are no such spells in the new supplement. Instead the spells and artefacts seem to be geared towards getting a greater variety of magic users on the board, each one shifting the battlefield in their own small but significant way.
The general principle of not having an uber powerful 'deathstar' unit doesn't seem to have changed and I'm glad to see that.
It'll be interesting to see if they push the boat out a bit with the new Living Legends though…
So am I excited?
From what I've seen so far – yes, very!
I'm really looking forward to the new supplement. When it's released I'm going to get some friends round (if we're ever allowed to do that again!) order a takeaway, crack open a beer or two… or three and play a 5,000 point game – and I genuinely can't wait!
Whether or not its enough to turn Kings of War into a Beer and Pretzels game we will have to wait and see, but I'm quietly optimistic.
What do you think? Are you looking forward to the new magic supplement?
And does Kings of War ever feel more clinical than magical or it that just me?

One thought on "For the Fun of It"
I posted a reply to this on the Kings of War Fanatics FB group agreeing with you. I pointed out how the community morphed from chill in its earliest days to tourney-driven, hyper competitive on issues such as base size (eg arguments over move tray lips), MMC/PMC, and army Mantic product composition. I compared the KoW vibe to Dragon Rampant which truly is chill.
The admins IMMEDIATELY deleted my post.
Their action demonstrates precisely why the community is becoming so competitively toxic. 😦

And Margaret Livingstone-Evans, General Manager at Eshott Hall, should know. With a wealth of experience that has seen misplaced fancy dress chickens and AWOL drummers, magical woodland ceremonies and everything else in between, there's not much that can faze her and the team at Eshott Hall.
Each wedding is unique, but for the team some are even more memorable for the strange last-minute requests or the narrowly averted hiccups they posed! Here's a glimpse into what makes Eshott Hall so special for us: our favourite corners, our oddest wedding tales and our most memorable moments….so far!
Favourite season? Spring going into Summer with the wonderful drive to work, arriving at the Hall nestling in the Northumbrian countryside with the dappled sunshine shining on the Hall through the trees.
Favourite view or hidden spot? The secluded woodland opening out onto the countryside with the sea in the distance.
Did you know? The Hall used to belong to the 'Bainbridge' family who owned the largest department store in Newcastle which is now John Lewis.
Last minute wedding panics? I had to find a drum kit for an evening band at a wedding as the drummer had gone AWOL with the kit. I'm quite proud to say that I found a kit within the hour!
Riskiest request at a wedding? It wasn't intended to be risky but during a wedding when I worked and lived in Cheshire, a guest asked me to help him get dressed up as a chicken. This was because he had previously been invited to a fancy-dress party by the couple and went as a chicken only to find out when he arrived that he had been stitched up because it was in fact a black-tie party! To get them back he wanted to dress as a chicken at their wedding. All went well, he came in during the speeches and everyone laughed and got the joke. He then sat behind the top table but did not realise the window was open, I saw him lean backwards then all I saw was the chicken feet in the air and he was disappearing in front of my eyes. He grabbed onto the curtains which in turn pulled down the curtain rail and only just missed the newlyweds! Thankfully he bounced back up again in through the window. The moral of this story: be careful who you help to dress up as a chicken!
Favourite season? It's got to be Spring when the wisteria is out on the front of the Hall and looks absolutely stunning. Our couples marrying in April usually expect rain but can end up having the best days of the year. I love the unexpected sunny days.
Favourite view? We have some hidden steps in the Fernery, which I love looking down into, this makes a magical wedding picture for our brides and grooms. Also in the meadow behind the Hall, and by the lake in the woodland when all the bluebells are out.
Did you know? We have a hidden lake and we are the only venue locally with a fixed woodland ceremony.
Favourite bedroom? Room 6 'Tedsmore' which has a hunting theme with cow hyde chairs, furs and antlers. It's a very cosy room with a comfy four poster bed and a fantastic view of the red squirrel tree.
Strangest request from a wedding couple? We had an Asian themed wedding where an elephant was requested! We weren't able to fulfil this one sadly so instead they brought in a pure white stallion in full Indian head dress complete with an Indian drummer. We also had a circus wedding here at Eshott which had 'Shuggy boats' on the lawn, fire breathers on stilts etc. It was phenomenal.
Any last-minute panics or quirky requests? I once had to un-tie and re-tie the wedding party's corsages ten minutes before their ceremony because they had been delivered by the florist in the wrong colour. At another wedding I had to light almost 1000 candles and bring in in 150 giant helium balloons; I almost floated away. They looked incredible.
Favourite season? Winter. I love the smell of the log fires, and at Christmas time our beautiful decorations and candles light up the Hall.
Favourite view? For me, it's the East lawn when the sun is setting. There are beautiful views across the tops of the trees.
Did you know? Eshott Hall is home to a thriving population of native red squirrels. We work with Northumberland Wildlife Trust, the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers and The Red Squirrel Protection Partnership to protect them by installing wildlife feeding stations, nesting boxes and wildlife corridors.
Favourite bedroom? I love 'Fern' in Eshott Grange which has beautiful views of the grounds.
Favourite season? Late spring, early summer for me. There's lots in the garden that is ready to eat and it's now that I start to write the summer a la carte menus around the fantastic produce grown in our walled gardens.
Favourite view? It has to be from the kitchen window, as it looks over the whole garden. It's especially beautiful at sunrise.
Did you know? All the walls in the garden have small wood burning fire places built into them so they can be heated up at any time.
Favourite bedroom? The Italian; I like the roll top bath feature in the centre of the room. I also love watching the red squirrels on the lawn from the window.
Last minute wedding panics? As a chef we're usually spared these things unless it's kitchen-related. However there was one time when all of the chefs had to run out and help a bride who was stranded in her vintage wedding car which would not start. We all had to push the car so they could get it started. It was very hard work!
Favourite season? Summer. Everything is at its best and the gardens are in full bloom. It's definitely worth the months of hard work to see Eshott in the Summer!
Most memorable request? Pulling a guest out of the garden tip! He was in a Porsche at the time and had driven straight into the woods. Luckily, he was unscathed and the car just needed a good wash!
Favourite view? The stile which is used as a viewing point; it's tucked away in the woods, you can see for miles across the countryside. It's a perfect location for a picnic.
Favourite Bedroom? Versailles because of the view from the bedroom as well as the décor of the room. Elegant and timeless.
Did you know? Eshott Hall is in the 'Doomsday Book'.
Biggest risk? Catherine Cookson's 'The Moth' was filmed at Eshott Hall. Not a lot of people know that. The location manager for the filming was none other than Simon King one of our own 'Hairy Bikers'. I had to open up all of the chimneys and fireplaces which was a difficult job and then the Hall was set on fire at the front of the building for one of the final scenes in 'The Moth'.

Independently developed by the No.704 Institute of China's largest manufacturer of naval products, China Shipbuilding Industry (CSIC), the generator recently passed technical appraisal, marking the birth of the 20-megawatt steam turbo generator unit for ships, CSIC announced in a statement released on its WeChat account on Monday.
Li Jie, a Beijing-based naval expert, told the Global Times on Tuesday that the generator unit is now fully operational and technically eligible for production.
Song Zhongping, a military expert and TV commentator, said that the next step will be to install the generator on a test ship, before it is available for use by China's military in one to two years.
The new generation of generator unit made multiple technological breakthroughs and innovative design, the CSIC statement said, noting that 20-megawatts of power is four times as much as China's current generator units and is on par with the most advanced generator units developed by the US and European countries.
Twenty megawatts is sufficient to propel 10,000-ton class vessels, Song told the Global Times, noting that larger vessels like aircraft carriers can use multiple generators to get the power they need.
The new steam turbo generator unit will not only provide electricity for a vessel's propulsion system, but also lay the foundation for a fully electric power system for ships, the company said.
On traditional vessels, power units that provide power for propulsion and electricity are separate, and power generated for the propulsion system is not used to power electrical applications, Song said. Ships seldom sail at full speed, so a considerable amount of its power potential is not used while the electrical system can be overworked providing power to electricity-consuming equipment.
Generators that are powerful enough could be used for both the propulsion and electrical systems, Li said. A ship's power system would be more efficient if one system is used to allocate power to where it is needed.
The US Zumwalt-class destroyer and the UK's Type 45 destroyer use a fully electric propulsion system.
CSIC is reportedly developing China's third aircraft carrier, and experts expect it will be equipped with an electromagnetic catapult to launch aircraft. China is also reportedly looking to upgrade its most advanced 10,000-ton class destroyer the Type 055s with electromagnetic railguns.
New technologies such as electromagnetic catapult and electromagnetic railgun require a huge amount of electricity. A fully electric power system will enable them to use unoccupied propulsion power to operate properly, Li said.

6 Android Apps That Pay You Real Money & Cash
Android is one of the biggest platforms for smartphone users today. It contains apps for multiple categories that users can download with their google account. And there are premium apps available as well which users can buy from the store. But did you know, that there are apps that can help you earn money as well?
These apps will pay you real money and cash just for doing simple tasks such as watching some videos, downloading other apps for points, doing different tasks to earn points that can then be traded for real money, and much more.
We have researched 6 best apps on the google play store that will help you earn some real money and cash just by doing some simple tasks. Most of them do not require you to go anywhere, which is great. You can just sit and relax, while these apps build up some extra cash for you on the side.
Most of the people have probably heard about Swagbucks. This is an app that pays you in points for completing surveys. Apart from the survey, there are other activities available in the app as well such as answering questions every day, playing games, participating in daily polls, or watching some videos.
Digital Marketing Updates
Get updates on latest digital marketing & social media stories.
Another great thing about Swagbucks is, that it can be accessed from the web as well. Once you have an account set up, you can access it from either of the platforms. On Android, the app is named "SB answer – Surveys that Pay".
ALSO READ Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Invests In IoT Startup Ambee
The in-app currency is known as "SB" which can be redeemed for rewards in the form of gift cards from different services such as Amazon, Walmart, or PayPal money, and much more.
Cointiply – Earn Free Bitcoin
Cointiply app allows you to earn money by doing some tasks on the platform. They also have a website that can be used to continue your activities on the web. These tasks include things such as answering surveys, installing different apps, playing multiple games, view some ads, and much more.
After completion of each task, you will be awarded 'Satoshis' which is a fraction of a bitcoin, and when you are ready, you can cash out the bitcoin using online services such as CoinBase, Binance or WazirX. These websites allow you to easily convert your Bitcoins into real money and then deposit into your account or wallets. Each Bitcoin is worth around $11,000, and the rate fluctuates from time to time based on the market. You can find their android app by searching for 'Cointiply' on the Google Play Store.
Meesho
Meesho is a great app for those who would like to become a reseller. If you are looking for a method to build a home business from the comfort of your phone, then definitely check out Meesho.
You will need to download the app from the Google Play Store and create an account. Once everything is ready, you can browse through thousands of products in the app. All of these products will have a wholesale price and you can share the product on social media platforms.
ALSO READ LinkedIn Introduces New Insights Hub to Provide New Audience Insights
Once someone submits an order request, you can place the final order from the app and you will receive the margin amount once the buyer has paid for the product.
One of the most reliable apps to earn money on Android. All you have to do is download the app from Google Play Store and log in with your Google account. Every once in a while you will get a survey notification from google opinion rewards on your phone.
This app offers small surveys that you will answer in order to win money. Most of the questions are normal and can be answered pretty quickly. But do not rush through the surveys just to earn some money once they are available, since randomly answering the questions can be detected and the frequency of surveys sent to you will be reduced.
You can spend the money you have earned on the Google Play store itself. From buying paid apps, games to renting movies, subscriptions, as long as you have the credit you can purchase them from the store.
Loco is a great app for Android users who love to play trivia games. This app lets you win money while playing quizzes. The app will offer you a series of questions that you will need to answer within a given amount of time.
Each player starts with zero balance and zero lives, once you start playing more games, the count keeps increasing. Each game is live, so you will need to join at the right time otherwise you will only be able to spectate other players. The prize money is different for each game and will be distributed among all the winners who answered all the questions correctly in time. The difficulty increases as you advance through questions. Each one will have ten seconds for you to answer. If you get it wrong or the timer runs out you will be out of the game.
ALSO READ YouTube Updates Channel Three-Strike System With A One-Time Warning
The money you earn will be credited to your Paytm account once a quiz is over, which takes about 15 minutes with a total of 10 questions. The lower the number of people who reach the end, the higher the payout will be.
TagMango
If you love to browse social media platforms all day long, then you should check out TagMango. This app follows a nano-influencer marketing strategy and offers you money and other rewards for promoting brands and their products.
However, there are some minimum requirements that you need to fulfill to become eligible for this app. One of these requirements requires you to have at least 500 or more followers on Instagram and other social media platforms.
You will be paid for each post you upload to the platform and you can also win some extra prizes from different contests they organize every once in a while. For people who would like to become influencers, this is one way to start your dream.

What memories are made of: Fish Lake, "Boats, Bait and Beer," Four Roses, Coca-Cola, Mom & Dad.
The Doryman of Prescott, Wisconsin: "I'm sitting on my balcony tonight, on the 3rd of July, 2017. I'm two stories up and 37 feet from the Mississippi River — but it's not only this year, and not only this place. It's also 1954. I'm 10 years old, in the back seat of a 1949 Oldsmobile Rocket 88, drinking the tops off Cokes. That's what my folks did with their kid sometimes, back then.
"We lived in Windom, Minnesota, and would drive out to Fish Lake at about eight o'clock in the evening on a summer night like this. We turned in at the resort's sign that said: 'Boats, Bait and Beer.' We would park overlooking the docks and wait to watch the fishermen come in and check out their stringers. Dad would hand the kid in the back seat a Coke to drink down to the bottom of the flutes, just above the belly of the little bottle, where it read 'Coca-Cola.' That made room for the Four Roses. Dad would top it off from his pint, put a thumb over the top of the bottle, turn it upside down and back to mix it and then release the fizzy, carbonated cocktail spurt into his mouth. He would then hand it to Mom and repeat the ritual with his own bottle.
"It's a gentle night with the same slight breeze that feels like the warm moist breath of a puppy on my face. The sun is setting, and the cruisers are coming in just like they did 64 years ago. Mom, Dad, the car and those old wooden rowboats are gone for decades now, yet the sunsets, the breezes and the memories won't leave till I do."
Now & Then (responsorial)
Including: Everyone's a (books) critic!
In reply to Mounds View Swede's pictures of the Lincoln Memorial, here's Lawyergirl: "Subject: Abe Lincoln.
"What? No comment about the bookstore up at chair level? I had no idea there was a bookstore until we climbed the stairs.
"Dad loved reading about history, so I bought him a book about court-martials in which Lincoln intervened: 'Don't Shoot That Boy.' It was meant as a Father's Day gift, but became hospital reading instead. It was perfect because each man's story was short, as was Dad's attention span."
Hugo Woman: "Reading Mounds View Swede's story about Lincoln, and MVS's mention of Swedish immigrants, in the July 4th BB edition, I was reminded of four of my favorite books (it's a series) by Vilhelm Moberg, titled 'The Emigrants.' I don't know if MVS has read this series about the Swedish immigrants who came and settled in the Taylors Falls area, but the story of their trials and tribulations after leaving Sweden (the leave-taking, alone, was a heart-wrenching experience for Karl Oscar's wife, Kristina) and adapting to a new culture and language is well worth the read.
"And, of course, I agree wholeheartedly with MVS's praise of Lincoln, and what he accomplished in his short time in office. I often wonder if we'll ever see anyone, again, male or female, with Lincoln's leadership skills in the presidential office. . . ."
The passing show
Cee Cee of Mahtomedi: "We had a lovely walk today at Fort Snelling State Park today. Imagine our surprise, when we looked out on the Mississippi to a marina, to see a pirate ship!
"From the picture, it looks like the crew passed on a long time ago."
Gee, our old La Salle ran great!
Bloomington Bird Lady: "Subject: Songs that hang around our whole life!
"Maybe this has happened to you. (As BB often says: 'You are hardly ever the only one.')
"I had a melody pop into my head recently. Couldn't think where it had come from, but it almost overstayed its welcome. Then the words also came back, and I hope they are correct:
"'Cream of Wheat is so good to eat, yes, we have it every day.
"'We sing this song — it will make us strong, and it makes us shout "Hooray!"
"'It's good for growing babies, and grown-ups too, to eat.
"'For all the family's breakfast, you can't beat Cream of Wheat.'
"Through my younger days, in the '30s and '40s, there was a radio show on every Saturday morning: 'Let's Pretend.' My mom taught piano lessons in our living room, so no radio listening. I'd walk over to my cousin's, and we'd sit mesmerized by the excellent plays put on: very good acting, fanciful scripts, and our imaginations would soar.
"I am wondering if you friends about my age can remember this show. I'd be interested to know. The above song, done with a string group, lovely lyrical melody, and those words, would open the show each Saturday. They played the tune without the words, too — less advertising back then. (Little did we know how the ads from TV would annoy us later!)
"I feel kind of sorry that those lovely children's shows are gone. Nothing better to teach a child how to have their own fun, and use their ingenuity.
"Anyway, it would be fun to hear one of those again, and sing the jingle right along with the commercial!
"How about it, BB friends, do you remember?"
BULLETIN BOARD SAYS: We don't know about the BB friends, but the Website of the Day does.
The Permanent Family Record
The Secret Sister: "When we were growing up, we did not have computers, iPads, or cellphones. We lived on a farm and always could make our own fun.
"One day in the woods, we came across a thick grapevine hanging across a ravine. We thought it would make a wonderful swing. So we pulled and tugged on it to make sure it was strong enough. My brother, who loved to play Tarzan and Zorro, decided he would go first. He pulled it back as far as he could and jumped onto the vine, as if he had done it before, while yelling the Tarzan yell. In the middle of the ravine, the vine broke, and my brother's yell changed octaves as he fell into the ravine unhurt.
"When the story is brought up, my brother says he was the brave one for swinging first. However, we feel that we were the smart ones because we didn't swing at all."
Or: Everyone's a copy editor!
Carp Lips of Wyoming ("formerly of Hastings"): "Subject: It Don't Add Up . . . Or Does It?
"I'm reading Steve Aschburner's 2012 book on Harmon Killebrew, called 'Ultimate Slugger.'
"In describing Harmon's chase to No. 500, he states that 'he slammed No. 499 at home, a three-run job off former teammate Luis Tiant in a 6-2 Twins loss.'
"So I assumed it was a two-run homer. But I had to check for sure. And my research found that it was, in fact, a three-run homer . . . in a 6-2 Twins WIN over Boston.
"On a side note: I recall going to my first Twins game in the early '60s, when I was 6 or 7. Harmon hit a home run late in the game, and I was so overwhelmed I shed my first tears of joy.
"Our family had a photo taken with Harmon in 1997 at the Kirby Puckett Weekend festivities. He truly was a gracious gentleman and great ambassador for the Twins.
"He touched 'em (us) all."
There's nothin' like a simile!
The Retired Pedagogue of Arden Hills: "An article from The New York Times on Page A7 in Sunday's Minneapolis paper has this headline: 'Canadians' sense of humor is a good defense.' The opening paragraphs:
"'Canadians have a lot to process these days. Immigration is changing society. The Trump presidency is altering Canada's place in the world and filling its airwaves with its neighbor's issues.
"'Canadians are turning, as they long have in times of uncertainty, to comedy.
"'"Canadians really do identify themselves a great deal through comedy," said Cory Gibson, field producer of "This Hour Has 22 Minutes," a long-running Canadian satirical news show.
"'"It's one of our national pastimes," Gibson added. "Political comedy and hockey."
"'All societies deal with major issues through humor. But that is especially true of Canada, which exports comedians the way France exports wine: Samantha Bee, Seth Rogen, Jim Carrey and many early stars on "Saturday Night Live," whose impresario, Lorne Michaels, is Canadian as well.
"'In Canada, humor has become a way of pushing back against the U.S.' cultural and political dominance, like a class clown subtly undermining the teacher. Its changing comedy offers a lens into how the nation is changing, too.'"
Come again?
Another episode of creative hearing, reported by Friendly Bob of Fridley: "Watching one of my 'forensic' shows. A detective is lamenting the fact that they will not be able to solve the crime with 'just the tooth fairy.' What? Turns out that was 'such a loose theory.'
"Now where did I put that earwax remover?"
This 'n' that
July 1st email from Birdwatcher in La Crescent: "Last year, we had an overabundance of those maple-tree helicopters flying everywhere and taking root. I think I was still picking them up in October. This year, I have not seen one of them. Is this something that happens on a schedule — maybe every other year? Bulletin Board knows it all, so I am sure my question will be answered. Thank you in advance. [Bulletin Board says: Is there an arborist in the house? Outside our house, as it happens, the wind JUST NOW blew down a flurry of flying maple seeds.]
"In the BB post today was mention of the French designer who unveiled a two-piece suit called a bikini and was quoted as saying that a two-piece suit wasn't a genuine bikini 'unless it could be pulled through a wedding ring.' Really? I know when I was in high school many years ago and weighed 98 pounds, my bikini wouldn't go through a wedding ring. How big is this wedding ring he is talking about? I sure had a good laugh with that quote."

CSRCOM: International Conference on Sustainability Communication at Leuphana.
2022-03-28 CSRCOM 2022 will be held at Leuphana's central building from 14 to 16 September 2022. Call for submissions ends next Friday, 1 April 2022.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), or sustainability communication, is becoming increasingly important for corporate sustainability management: Investors, customers or employees seek information on the social and green performance of companies of all sizes - from young start-ups to major Dax-listed corporations. Above a certain size, companies are even legally obliged to be accountable in the form of sustainability reporting. Thanks to increasing digitalisation, companies have various communication channels at their disposal for their sustainability communication, including social media. But whether and how companies reach the right stakeholders with the desired information is something that needs further investigation, especially in times of increasingly polarised discourses and the spread of disinformation.
After five successful conferences in Amsterdam, Aarhus, Ljubljana, Vienna and Stockholm, Leuphana University Lüneburg is now hosting the sixth edition of the CSR Communication (CSRCOM) conference titled "CSR Communication: New Challenges in the Age of Digitalisation and Disinformation". "We are looking forward to welcoming renowned scholars from the interdisciplinary research field of CSR and sustainability communication from all over the world," says Dr Hannah Trittin-Ulbrich, Professor of Business Administration, in particular Business Ethics, and host of the conference.
Participants can expect a top-class supporting programme. For example, the American political scientist Lance Bennett, professor at the University of Washington and author of numerous books on political communication, will be among the guests. Luciano Floridi, Professor of Philosophy and Information Ethics at the University of Oxford, will speak on the panel on artificial intelligence. Juliane Reinicke, Professor of International Management and Sustainability at King's College London, will also present a keynote speech. From Leuphana, Dr. Matthias Wenzel, Professor of Business Administration, in particular Organisation, Dr. Sigrid Bekmeier-Feuerhahn, Professor of Business Administration, in particular Communication and Cultural Management, and Dr. Dennis Schoeneborn, Visiting Professor at the Institute of Management and Organisation, will also attend the conference.
CSRCOM invites academics and professionals from the fields of communication, management and sustainability sciences to network and engage in debate. The programme is also open to PhD students. In the context of a PhD seminar, young academics have the opportunity to deepen their methodological skills in the field of CSR & CSR communication from 13 to 14 September.
End of call for submissions and deadline for scientific papers and panel discussions is 1 April. Abstracts can be submitted via the conference website: csr-com.org.
On the occasion of the conference, a special issue of the renowned journal "Management Communication Quarterly" on the topic "CSR Communication in the Age of Digitalisation and Polarisation" will be published. In the course of the conference, authors can learn more about this special issue during a panel discussion with the guest editors, including Dr Dennis Schoeneborn, Dr Hannah Trittin-Ulbrich and Dr Matthias Wenzel. Submissions are open directly to the journal until 15 December 2022, regardless of the conference.

Home > Governors > Philip B. Scott
Philip B. Scott, Vermont Governor
Phil Scott became the 82nd Governor of Vermont in January 2017 and was reelected to a third term in 2020, earning more votes than any candidate for governor in Vermont history. As Governor, he is committed to making a difference in the lives of Vermonters by growing the state's economy, making Vermont more affordable, and protecting the most vulnerable.
Throughout his years of public service, Phil has listened to, and learned from Vermonters, and is always willing to roll up his sleeves to help get the job done.
Phil has consistently focused on economic and affordability issues. During his first two legislative sessions as Governor, he worked with the Legislature to ensure the Fiscal Year 2018 & 2019 General Fund budgets did not raise a single tax or fee, and made critical investments in economic and workforce development, workforce housing, childcare and early learning, career technical training, higher education, clean water, addressing the opioid crisis and more.
Previously, he was elected and served three terms (2011-2017) as Vermont's 79th Lieutenant Governor. In this role, he launched the Everyday Jobs Initiative – where he worked in 35 different professions around the state – and Vermont Economy Pitch sessions for the opportunity to learn from Vermont's employers and workers. In 2011, in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene, he organized the removal and disposal of mobile homes around the state, which were destroyed by the flood, all at no cost to homeowners and without spending any taxpayer dollars.
Prior to that role, he was elected to the Vermont Senate for five terms, representing Washington County. During his 10-year service in the Senate, he was Vice Chair of the Transportation Committee and Chair of the Institutions Committee.
Phil is also active in community service projects. In 2005, he founded the Wheels for Warmth program, which allows Vermonters to donate tires they no longer need. The tires that meet state inspection standards are offered for resale at affordable prices, with all proceeds benefiting heating fuel assistance programs. The program has raised more than $428,000 for emergency fuel assistance, sold nearly 19,000 safe donated tires, and recycled more than 31,000 unsafe tires.
For more than thirty years, Phil was a co-owner of his family construction business, and he still races the #14 car at Barre's Thunder Road, where he has the most career wins as a Late Model driver at the track. He's also an avid cyclist.
He is a lifelong Vermonter who grew up in Barre and graduated from Spaulding High School and the University of Vermont. He lives in Berlin with his wife Diana McTeague Scott, and has two grown daughters, Erica and Rachael.

It's not a secret that after CryptoKities, a new wave of collectible blockchain games began to rise, each one with tons of extra features, special mechanics, and loyal players base.
Some will say collectibles are not games and they all have a point here. It is 2018 and we expect awesome 3D Graphics with lots of blood, piles dead enemies and overclocked graphics cards at peak performance, but is that the case here?
On the other hand, some players don't like "ordinary" games, they prefer browser-based collectibles with animals that might have a bigger value in the future, they want to battle, breed and level up their favorite pet. This article is dedicated to those players.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the first game, it's not what you would call a "pure collectible", but you have to collect cards and strategically battle with others.
If you are a Hearthstone fan, this one is for you. Gods Unchained is a collectible card game (CCG) or TCG if you prefer all about collecting powerful cards and winning your opponents.
Backed by a number of Capital ventures including Coinbase, Gods Unchained places its self in the e-sports industry, in fact, it's the first blockchain e-sports game.
With a huge number of cards, a lot of different types and incredible battle mechanics, this hearthstone-like community-focused game aims to be one of the most playable card games ever. Like in every blockchain game, the cards truly belong to you, you are free to keep or sell them to other players.

Handmade Selector lever. Made from a cap screw and a piece of Aluminium with filed grooves.
Here are some pics of the T Track assembly. I used timber dowel to fill in some of the holes where the track starts and ends. I used Ullrich Aluminium Sliding Door Track section UA 1341 and it looks good.
Back to it eh? That's looking real sharp!
Thanks Matt. The Blaster is almost finished but have concentrated on other projects as well so this got put on the back burner so to speak.
I next made the Barrel Inner Tube from some aluminium tube and timber shaped on Blaxmyths lathe and turned to fit the Outer Sleeve.
The Barrel End and Receiver End.
Yes I even made a large spring for the Bolt and now I need to make a smaller diameter one for the inside. Looks good though. Cut the heads off a couple of cap screws and glued them to the Muzzle.

Untreated Bridge Timbers from WA.
AA Grade Railway Timber Sleepers are the most solid timber sleepers with good square sides, edges and faces. AA grade timber sleepers are great to use for DIY projests such as timber furniture, garden fences, water features, retaining walls and many more.
These old railway sleepers have come from a rail line in Northern NSW. Whilst they are aged, being tough old red gum they still have plenty of life in them and will look great when used in your landscape.
Being untreated natural hardwood, they are excellent for use in the garden, particularly vegie beds, and completely safe to use around kids.
Our Reclaimed Cypress, Cupresses macrocarpa is a native to North America but has been planted widely across Australia. It is important to note this is not Cypress Pine from the Callitris species.
Used as wind breaks across farms, the now oversized trees are being logged to provide a sustainable timber option. Farms across Gippsland are providing this timber. Our supplier's business is focused on sustainability, which includes the products they sell and the energy used in harvesting, production and delivery.
Reclaimed Cypress sleepers are naturally resistant to termites and fungus. This makes them ideal to use in above ground landscaping. Untreated they are safe to use in the vegie patch.
NOT for in ground use or permanent soil contact unless treated, lined or painted.
Perfect for steps and small garden beds, these are ex-railway Jarrah sleepers cut at 1.2m in length. They retain all the brilliant colour and texture with the added bonus of being easily handled.
Ecowood is a range of treated wood products protected with unique timber preservatives incorporating copper and azole co-biocides as active constituents. It has been thoroughly tested in Australia and overseas and has excellent performance against decay and insect attack. Safe durable and attractive, Ecowood is available for use in hazard level H4 in accordance with AS1604.
Ecowood is intended for long term performance against decay and termites. It incorporates only recycled copper and safe organic azole biocides as active constituents which may be more acceptable to certain users or more appropriate in particular applications such as playgrounds and vegetable gardens. Ecowood is preferred for prefabrication and re-manufacturing where extensive machining and cutting work generates a lot of treated wood dust and waste. Ecowood is safe for applications that are in close human contact and durable against decay and termite damage. Ideal for many residential, commercial and civic applications where outdoor above-ground and in-ground timber is specified.
should not be rip sawn, re-thicknessed or heavily planed as these actions will reduce the protection afforded by the treatment.
Harvested from Forests in Southern NSW, these sleepers are a mix of Australian Hardwoods. The predominant species are Eucalyptus laevopinea Stringybark and Eucalyptus fastigata (Brown Barrel). These sleepers are untreated and completely safe to use around vegies.
The sleepers harvested are certified to the Australian Forestry Standard (AFS) and are part of the Australian Forestry Certification Scheme (AFCS). This is recognised by the Program for the Endorsement of Forestry Certification (PEFC), the world's largest forest management certifier. This certification verifies that these sleepers come from certified, legal and sustainable resources.

Lapu-Lapu City will be hosting the first-ever Tennis Festival Week from April 1 to 7 when both the Davis Cup and the 14th PHILTA Tru-Flex National Age-Group Tennis Championships will be held in the city.
Philippine Tennis Association (Philta) vice president Randy Villanueva confirmed yesterday that Plantation Bay Resort and Spa will host the second round of action of the Asia/Oceania Group II Tie between Philippines and Thailand from April 5 to 7.
Villanueva, during a press conference yesterday at the Mooon's Cafe, said that he has talked with Philta president Edwin Olivarez, also a Paranaque representative, Philta secretary general Romeo Magat and other members of the Philta board about the holding of the Davis Cup at the Plantation Bay again.
Plantation Bay relations officer Johannah Marie Patalinjug, who represented the resort's general manager Efren Belarmino during the presscon, reiterated the resort's willingness to host the Davis Cup despite having just hosted the Philippines vs. Syria Tie last weekend.
Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Paz Radaza has also already expressed the city's willingness to also host the event.
Because of Davis Cup's return to Lapu-Lapu City, Villanueva said they have decided to also hold the Tru-Flex age-group tournament here from April 1 to 5 to coincide with the international event.
The Tru-Flex netfest is a Group I Philta-sanctioned event that awards 200 points to all category champions.
Villanueva said that having Thailand here is already a big event and it will be complemented by the Tru-Flex tournament, which will have participants coming from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
The last time that Thailand and the Philippines met in Davis Cup was in 1999, wherein the Thais defeated the Filipinos, 4-1.
The two countries have met five times with the Philippines having won three of those meetings.
Villanueva, however, said that the Philippines will have a slight advantage over Thailand since they will be playing in a shell-clay court. The Thais are used to playing in a hardcourt.
The Davis Cup will once again be made free to the public.
John Pages, who was instrumental in bringing the Davis Cup here, said this is an opportunity for the Tru-Flex participants to be inspired by the Davis Cup and the Cebuana Lhuillier-Philippine Davis Cup team to also be inspired by the presence of the young players.
This will be the first time that the Tru-Flex will be held outside of Manila and not in a Tru-Flex court, according to Villanueva. It will be played in five venues in Lapu-Lapu.
Tru-Flex is a sports servicing corporation that makes tennis courts, a kind of hardcourt, said Villanueva.
Because of this, the Davis Cup will adapt the same play of schedule wherein matches will be played late in the afternoon and straight into the night. Those interested in seeing action in the Tru-Flex netfest cam register via the Philta.

The Explorer's Code
By James Altucher, November 30th 2016
http://tcat.tc/2gD2HrQ
Ashley Knedler
I want to wake each morning not anxious about my day anymore. Not worried about what so-and-so would say, or where my career was going, or what was I going to write today.
My only job each day is to explore something new.
So I called up Josh and asked him how I could be an explorer. He told me.
Have a Mission
Every day, whether it's "be creative today." Or "go some place you've never been" or "talk to ten random strangers", make a mission.
Learn something new.
Missions are for people who DO. Mission statements are for people who DON'T.
Uncomfortable Situation
Try to put yourself in as many uncomfortable situations as possible.
"For instance," he said, "you should apply for a temp job. See what it's like."
Or maybe one day you and a friend can make a bet: who can get the furthest out of town with just $100.
The uncomfortable zone is where you find out who you are, the comfort zone is where you sleep.
Task: make a list of uncomfortable situations. Stretch the idea muscle.
Partners/Team
Josh has 100s of people who submit items to Atlas Obscura and atlasobscura.com. "There are over 10,000 weird and obscure places on there now."
He also started it with two partners.
Even superheroes need a team. Superman still needed the Justice League. Luke Skywalker still needed Han Solo and Princess Leia. Luke Cage needs Iron Fist and Jessica Jones.
Who is on your team? Are they good people? Do you each have your super power?
I am constantly looking for my team of fellow explorers.
"Try to experience wonder every day," Josh told me.
A few months ago, my mission was to throw out everything I owned.
What would it be like after 40 years of collecting things, to own absolutely nothing.
And a few months before that, my mission was to track down someone who had disappeared from my life.
I failed at that mission. But I experienced wonder along the way.
And today, I'm going to change my life forever. I will text you about it.

The still ongoing internet revolution, including the 'internet of things', is mainly focused on information management. Robotics Science and Technologies enable the next step: the possibility of physical interaction with people and the environment in which they live. The existence of objective operational procedures allowing to assess progress, 'step changes' or 'TRL' improvements (or even the bare 'state of the art'), is a critical untapped prerequisite for the good functioning of the MAR roadmapped research process. Those operational assessing procedures (comparable to medicine 'clinical trials' of new drugs) will require extensive testing in realistic environments. Shared infrastructures such as those developed in Echord and Echord++ projects are necessary to contain costs and share best practices and insights. In particular Robotics High Tech startups cannot afford the multimillion investment of proprietary testing infrastructures.
The workshop will present and discuss methodologies for benchmarking and will discuss current projects and infrastructures aimed at their deployment in the market.
As an example of benchmarking technical challenges, there will be an introduction by specialists active in the working group "Benchmarking of Bipedal Locomotion" set up by European research projects on Humanoids and Exoskeletons, a.o H2R, Koroibot, Walkman, Biomot and Balance, followed by a round table on how to build relevant benchmarks in this area.
