We want to draw closer and closer; it is the yearning and inclination of the soul that loves God. For "When Jesus is near," wrote a Kempis, "all is well and nothing seems difficult. When He is absent, all is hard. When Jesus does not speak within, all other comfort is empty, but if He says only a word, it brings great consolation." Thus our soul yearns for nearness.
But I think it yearns for something more—we yearn for union with God.
He is the Vine, the source of all our life, and we are but branches aching and thirsting to be united with the Vine, so that Life itself might flow through us. In the introduction to Albert Magnus' medieval classic, Union with God, the editor begins, "Surely the most deeply-rooted need of the human soul, its purest aspiration, is for the closest possible union with God." My soul says, Yes and amen. The closest possible union.
So you would think our primary goal—and thus topic of conversation—would be union with God.
It's simply helpful to differentiate: believing in God is not the same thing as union with God, doing various God-activities is not the same as union with God, obeying God isn't necessarily union with God. These things can all be done while there is a kind of distance between our soul and God. You can read all about Italy but that is very different from actually living there. You can do things for your spouse but that's not the same as being united with them.
Okay then. What I want to suggest is, that the basic things we do, the things that are at the top of our "To Do" lists, are things that help us find union with God. Step 1 is understanding that God wants union with you, that union is the purpose of your creation, and that it is the priority. That's a good starting point. It is a massive re-orientation. Because it leads quickly to Step 2, which is presenting ourselves to God for union. I do this every day: "I present myself to You, God, for union with You." We pray for union; we ask for it.
Step 3 (and this is not science, folks, it's poetry; these "steps" are simply for clarity's sake) is to release everything else that is taking up room in your soul. "I give everything and everyone to You for union with You." And then, I have found it very important to ask God to heal my union with him: "Father—I pray you would heal our union. I pray your glory would fill our union." This is critical because the enemy is always trying to harm our union with God, and it needs healing and repairing on a regular basis.
Jesus, Father, Holy Spirit—I give myself to you to be one with you in everything. I pray for union and I pray for oneness. I pray to be one heart and one mind, one will, one life. Restore me in you; restore our union. I give everything and everyone to you in order to have union with you. Heal our union, God; restore and renew our union. I pray your glory fills our union. I pray for a deeper union with you, a deeper and more complete oneness.
It is a very quiet and gentle thing. Sometimes dramatic, but maybe only about 5% of the time. Most of the time the union of our soul with God is something that is very gentle and life-giving. And therefore you have to be gentle and tuned-in to be aware of it. But I think you will love the fruit of this. So I thought it would be good to put this back in front of us as the priority for each day.
PS. We are airing a two-part podcast series on union with God in June! Make sure you tune in!


Heated glasses undergo a variety of kinetic processes, such as crystallization, relaxation and viscous flow, that are very important both scientifically and technologically. In this work, we measured and rigorously analyzed these processes according to several models and theories, for two glass compositions: diopside (CaO MgO 2 SiO2) and lithium diborate (Li2O 2 B2O3). These analyses addressed the following questions: which viscosity model better describes the experimental data? Which viscosity model better describes the structural relaxation kinetics bellow the glass transition temperature? Does the decoupling between crystallization and viscous flow kinetics occur for the studied materials, as reported in the literature for lithium disilicate? The results showed that the MYEGA viscosity model described well both viscous flow and structural relaxation data. Moreover, our results point towards an explanation for the breakdown between crystallization and viscous flow kinetics: it is a phenomenon in which the crystal growth structural units are able to move without cooperative rearrangements if the viscosity is above 5,6(6) 103 Pa s. With our results for lithium diborate, we confirmed Kauzmann s resolution for his own paradox: this glass fully crystallizes before achieving a metastable equilibrium state when kept at the Kauzmann s temperature. This means that such glass cannot undergo the ideal glass transition . These findings are useful for technological processes such as glass annealing, new glass-ceramic microstructure design, and glass making.

A late slide erases gains for U.S. indexes, leaving them mixed
The Dow gained 112.11 points, or 0.4%, to 28,606.31.
(Mark Lennihan / Associated Press)
Oct. 16, 2020 4 PM PT
Wall Street closed out a choppy week of trading with more of the same Friday, as a late-afternoon stumble led U.S. stock indexes to a mixed finish.
The Standard & Poor's 500 ended the day just a fraction of a point higher after a burst of selling erased a 0.9% gain. Despite a three-day stretch of losses, the benchmark index still managed to finish higher for the week, its third straight weekly gain.
Big Tech and energy companies fell while healthcare and industrial stocks rose. The Dow Jones industrial average also eked out a gain, while the Nasdaq composite posted its fourth straight loss. Treasury yields were flat.
The market had been up for much of the day after the government reported that retail sales rose in September for the fifth straight month. That report appeared to overshadow new data showing U.S. industrial production had its weakest month since the spring.
The market's late-day fade capped a week of volatility as companies began reporting their third-quarter results and traders' hopes for a new round of economic stimulus from Washington dimmed.
The S&P 500 rose 0.47 points to 3,483.81. The Dow gained 112.11 points, or 0.4%, to 28,606.31. At one point, it had been up by 348 points. The Nasdaq fell 42.32 points, or 0.4%, to 11,671.56. The Russell 2000 index of small-cap stocks dropped 5.08 points, or 0.3%, to 1,633.81.
Despite the market's downbeat finish, the major stock indexes have already recouped most of their losses from September's swoon.
Stocks have been mostly climbing this month, but trading became choppy this week as ongoing talks between Democrats and Republicans on an economic stimulus package failed to deliver results. Investors have been hoping that Washington will provide more financial support for the economy since July, when a $600-a-week extra benefit for the unemployed expired.
Traders have been watching economic data closely to see whether the loss of that beefed-up unemployment aid would lead to an overall pullback in spending. On Thursday, the government said the number of Americans seeking unemployment aid increased last week to 898,000, a historically high level that underscores how the economy remains hobbled by the pandemic and recession that erupted seven months ago.
Friday's retail sales report provides some encouragement, suggesting Americans' appetite for spending remained solid last month. The Commerce Department said retail sales rose 1.9% in September, the fifth straight monthly increase. The report initially juiced shares in retailers and other companies that rely on consumer spending, but most of those gains evaporated by the end of the day.
Other data point to persistent weakness in the economy. The Federal Reserve said Friday that U.S. industrial production fell 0.6% last month, the weakest showing since April's 12.7% skid amid widespread business shutdowns due to the pandemic. Economists had been expecting an increase.
A surge in new coronavirus infections in Europe, the Americas and parts of Asia is also giving traders reason to turn cautious. The new caseloads prompted governments in France and Britain to impose new restrictions and contributed to some of the selling in the market earlier this week.
Across the S&P 500, analysts are expecting companies to report another drop in profits for the summer from year-ago levels. But they're forecasting the decline to moderate from the nearly 32% plunge from the spring, reflecting some signs of improvement in the economy since then.
Analysts have been raising their third-quarter earnings forecasts after lowering them sharply ahead of the second quarter. That means it will be tougher for companies reporting results to beat expectations.
Credit card issuer Ally Financial rose 2.7% after it reported better-than-expected results. Logistics company J.B. Hunt Transportation Services sank 9.7%, the biggest decliner in the S&P 500, after its third-quarter results fell short of analysts' expectations.
Several big companies report quarterly results next week, including Netflix, Coca-Cola, Tesla, Southwest Airlines and American Express.
The 10-year Treasury yield held steady at 0.74%.
Friday's early gains on Wall Street followed a broad rally in European stock indexes, which clawed back some of their heavy losses from a day earlier. Asian markets ended mixed.

New York Public Library's Rose Main Reading Room, Bill Blass Public Catalog Room Calendared for Landmark Designation
Evan Bindelglass June 6, 2017 0 0

Some of the most iconic interior spaces at the New York Public Library's Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, located at 476 Fifth Avenue, in Midtown, are now on track to be designated interior landmarks. On Tuesday, the Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to calendar the Rose Main Reading Room and the Bill Blass Public Catalog Room. Both are located on the third floor.
The building, designated an individual landmark in 1967, was designed by Carrere & Hastings. Construction started in 1898 and the library opened in May of 1911. The lobby, stairs, and landings leading to the spaces were designated interior landmarks in 1974.
Now comes the time to complete the designation. These rooms are the principal research and work spaces in the library, featuring oak woodwork and chandeliers. The Rose room, measuring 297 feet by 78 feet, contains a delivery desk in the middle and three murals of the sky by artist James Wall Finn. Following an extensive and meticulous restoration, it reopened to the public in the fall of 2016.
LPC Chair Meenakshi Srinivasan said she was "thrilled" that these "stunning" spaces were being put on the calendar. She described them as "some of the most deserving rooms in New York City." Indeed, LPC research department staff member Matt Postal was not exaggerating when he said their magnificence rivals that of Grand Central Terminal.
The vote to calendar was unanimous. The next step will be a public hearing. No date for that has been set.

Q: Internet Explorer automation doesn't get all elements I'm learning about VBA web automation. I have successfully logged in to other websites and pulled data from them, but I couldn't do the same thing for this specific website: https://moodle.telt.unsw.edu.au/.

                                <there are more tags under here and if you go far enough you'll reach the elements I want VBA to read. They are under <input> tag>

I want VBA to get the three login elements that fall under the second  tag that is under : id = "username", id ="password", and id = "submit". I tried getelementbyid("") but for some reason it couldn't find these elements. I then tried using this code that lists all the elements' tags.
Sub moodleautomation()
    Dim IE As Object
    Dim website As String
    Dim elements As Object
    Dim element As Object

    Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    website = "https://moodle.telt.unsw.edu.au/login/index.php"

    With IE

        .Visible = True
        .Navigate website

        Do While .busy Or .ReadyState <> 4
            DoEvents
        Loop

       'get all elements in the document
       Set elements = .document.getelementsbytagname("*")

       'find how many elements there are in the document
       MsgBox elements.Length

       'Display each element's tag name
       For Each element In elements
            MsgBox element.tagName
        Next

    End With

End Sub

After running this code it shows me the tags until  tag then it ignores  tag and all the tags under it and goes directly to div tag. The problem is that the elements I want to read are inside the second  tag that my code ignored.
Is there a way to read those elements?
EDIT:
Sub moodleautomation()
    Dim IE As Object
    Dim website As String
    Dim elements As Object
    Dim element As Object

    Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    website = "https://moodle.telt.unsw.edu.au/login/index.php"

    With IE

        .Visible = True
        .Navigate website

        Do While .busy Or .ReadyState <> 4
            DoEvents
        Loop

       'get iframe elements in the document
       Set elements = .document.getelementsbytagname("iframe")

       'find how many iframe elements there are in the document
       MsgBox elements.Length

       'get the iframe document
       Set element = elements.contentDocument

    End With

End Sub

This code gives me an error message that says "Object doesn't support this property or method" on this line (Set element = elements.contentDocument)

2018 Dodgers trade deadline targets: RHP Jose Leclerc, Rangers
Allan Yamashige 07/20/2018	Rosterbating, Trade Deadline Leave A Comment
When sorting the 164 qualified relief pitchers by fWAR the household name relievers are there —— Edwin Diaz, Sean Doolittle, Aroldis Chapman, Felipe Vazquez. However, sitting just below them at tenth in fWAR (1.4) is 24 year-old Texas Ranger, Jose Leclerc.
Leclerc is in his second full season in the bigs, meaning he has one more season of pre-arb salary followed by three years of arbitration. In simpler terms, he has four and a half seasons of team control remaining. He's currently making $552,300 — just a pinch more than the MLB minimum salary of $545,000. This is important but I'll touch more on why later. Here's how Leclerc has performed compared to the average relief pitcher, and to the best Dodgers reliever, Kenley Jansen.
Leclerc is mainly a two-pitch guy, pairing the fastball with an impressive off-speed offering. He averages 95.2 MPH with his fastball which on the Dodgers would trail only Pedro Baez (96.4) and Daniel Hudson (95.8). He throws his main off-speed pitch just as frequently as his fastball around 45% usage on both depending on the source you use. The pitch classification is interesting as it differs from site to site, pitch to pitch. Sometimes it looks more like a cut-change, sometimes it looks like a slider with slight glove side run and strong drop, and sometimes it looks like a splitter with vertical drop and almost no run. FanGraphs calls it a change-up, Brooks Baseball calls it a splitter, and Baseball Savant calls it a slider. Maybe it's just classification being incongruent, maybe there are errors, it's tough to really know. Regardless, the pitch is extremely effective. This article does a great job going deeper into the pitch itself. Of all offspeed offerings, Leclerc has allowed the ninth lowest batting average (.119), and the fifth lowest slugging percentage (.136) and wOBA (.139) in the league. That'll get the job done. Of 164 relievers who have thrown at least 100 "sliders" Leclerc generates a 23.9% whiff rate ranking 19th. It's definitely a good pitch and it's working well for him.
He could potentially benefit from some work with Rick Honeycutt and Mark Prior as the only thing really holding him back is his 13.6% walk rate. He's allowed only 15 hits in 33 innings while walking 18 so he's still his own worst enemy. That makes him one of only three qualified relievers (Kyle Barraclough and Reyes Moronta) to walk more batters than hits allowed, which is an impressive stat by itself. Typically this is a bad list to be on, however I'd argue that on occasion it's indicative of a tough pitcher to hit who has a legitimate shot at becoming a lights-out reliever. When he isn't walking batters it's pretty much game over. His strikeout rate of 36.4% is ninth —— sandwiched between Craig Kimbrel and new Cleveland reliever Brad Hand. That's good company to be in. He's allowed an astonishingly low .133 batting average which is the fourth-lowest in the league, paired with the second-lowest slugging percentage (.193). Essentially meaning that batters facing Leclerc this year have hit like Jon Lester (.125/.125/.200).
Leclerc is just 24 and in just his second full season, so it's probably fair to say he's just a guy with good stuff hitting a stride. Just last year he had a 3.94 ERA and a 4.49 FIP over 45 innings while walking an incredible 20% of batters he faced. That was the highest single-season mark of any reliever with at least 40 IP since 2004. So last year he wasn't great, yet he still allowed only a .146 batting average which was sixth among 192 RP with 40+ IP. Another part of his game staying congruent both seasons was his ability to generate weak contact. Last year of 213 relievers with at least 100 balls in play, Leclerc allowed an average exit velocity of just 84.5 MPH ranking 30th. This year that average exit velocity is down to 81.2 MPH, which is the lowest in the league. That talent is also evident as he's one of only six qualified relievers to not allow a single home run this year. While he's not Chapman or Dellin Betances, he shares similarities with them in high strikeout rates, filthy stuff, and issues allowing walks early in his career. He's been great and still has plenty of room to improve.
It's tough to gauge the market for a guy like Leclerc but I'll throw together a potential package.
To Texas: 1B/3B Edwin Rios, OF DJ Peters, and RHP Corey Copping
To Los Angeles: Leclerc
Rios and Peters were ranked No. 11 and 12 in Dustin's latest midseason Top 30, while Copping was unranked (but he was ranked at No. 61 in the Top 100). It's a steep price that is mainly warranted by Leclerc's youth and team control. It'll also depend much more on what the Rangers would want, but after the Brad Hand and Francisco Mejia deal it'll be interesting to see how the market for relievers is priced. Keone Kela, Alex Claudio, Jake Diekman, and Tony Barnette from the Rangers all also intrigue in some way or another as possible upgrades in the Dodgers bullpen if the Dodgers liked any of them enough.
Before the trade, #Dodgers had $6m to $10m room under luxury tax threshold (depending on bonuses/accounting). Manny Machado takes up $6.3m of that. LAD still needs bullpen help but won't be for high-salaried relievers
— Bill Plunkett (@billplunkettocr) July 18, 2018
The Dodgers are now dangerously close to the luxury tax. It's more important now than it'll be in the future, but Leclerc is as cheap as they come contractually. If he can maintain this form or even improve going forward that's an incredibly valuable piece controlled for years to come. I will say that taking a flyer on a guy like Leclerc who looks to possess strong upside but may need some time to get there is a legitimate risk. It probably made more sense before the Dodgers traded for Manny Machado as the team now has less prospect capital and less financial room to acquire a setup man. I'd argue that prioritizes a proven reliever over a guy like Leclerc. At the same time, with the Dodgers so close to the luxury tax there or only so many options for guys near the minimum salary, and proven guys are hardly ever on minimum deals. Leclerc is a good one.

Make your chip conveyor do some real work for once instead of messing around. Big fat chips thrown out by SwiftCarb's RampMill will make it wish it had paid attention in conveying class instead of screwing about.
The SwiftCarb XT10007E6G6BTC0M RampMill is the fastest way to machine steel and exotic metals with a 1″ diameter tool. Used with trochoidal and Controlled Engagement Tool Paths, it achieves much higher material removal rates than standard solid carbide tools. By ramping up to NINE times greater angles than a standard end mill, the RampMill reaches the bottom of the pocket much faster. Entering the center of the pocket optimizes the cutter path, and reduces time spent retracting & re-entering the material, to drastically reduce cycle times.

IP and Dance
I once heard Cerys Matthews describe Ballet Cymru as "the pride of Newport and the pride of Wales". I would not dissent except to add that that it is also the pride of the whole UK. The reason I mention the company today is that it is about to perform Romeo a Juliet at the Riverfront Theatre in Newport. It will then visit Bangor, Brecon, Porthcawl and Milford Haven as well as venues in England. The company will visit the Pontio Centre at Bangor on the 4 June. I was at the Pontio the last time Ballet Cymru visited that venue and was almost as impressed by the centre as I was by the entertainment. Northwest Wales is beautiful and the M-SParc (the Menai Science Park) has created an environment for knowledge-based businesses to flourish but enterprising, innovative and creative people also need the arts. The Pontio delivers the best on stage and screen.
Ballet Cymru's production is a great show. One of the best interpretations of Shakespeare's tragedy that I have seen. It stands comparison with Birmingham Royal Ballet's, English National Ballet's, the Mariinsky's. Northern Ballet's, Scottish Ballet's and even the Royal Ballet's, all of which I know. I have seen and reviewed Ballet Cymru's Romeo a Juliet twice (see A Romeo and Juliet for Our Times 7 Nov 2016 and They're not from Chigwell - they're from a small Welsh Town called Newport 14 May 2013 Terpsichore).
Ballet Cymru is based in Rogerstone which is a township just outside Newport. It would be wrong to call it a suburb of Newport even though it is within that local authority's boundaries because the folk who live in that part of Wales have a strong sense of local identity. Caerleon is also within the city limits but it has existed since Roman times. One of Ballet Cymru's neighbours is the Intellectual Property Office which describes itself as "the official UK government body responsible for intellectual property (IP) rights including patents, designs, trade marks and copyright."
Copyright protects the work of artists, broadcasters, composers, dramatists, filmmakers, publishers, recording studios other creative persons from unlicensed plagiarism and other exploitation. Unlike patents, trade marks and registered designs, it does not have to be registered in the UK. The right comes into being automatically so long as the conditions for the subsistence of copyright are net. These are originality in the case of artistic, dramatic, literary and musical works and fixation and qualification in the case of all works. "Originality" used to mean independent skill and labour but is now intellectual creation. "Fixation" means writing the work down or otherwise recording it. "Qualification" means the nationality or residence of the author or his employer or the place of publication. Basically, that includes a British national or resident or the national or resident of another country that provides reciprocal protection to the works of British authors under the Berne Convention or otherwise.
Copyright is not necessarily infringed by making a similar work (see Davies v Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club (1986) Ltd [2019] EWHC 1252 (Ch) (15 May 2019) which I discussed in Copyright: Davies v Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club 25 May 2019 NIPC Law). It is infringed by copying or by doing in relation to the work one the other restrictive acts mentioned in s.16 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Similarity between two works and may suggest that there has been copying particularly when the author of the later work had the opportunity to see the earlier one but there may be many other reasons for such similarity such as functional exigency or sometimes mere coincidence.
A ballet is likely to consist of lots of copyright works. There is the score for a start and then possibly the libretto. Copyright can also subsist in choreography as a dramatic work so long as it is recorded in Benesch or some other notation (see my article Cracking Nuts - Copyright in Choreography 24 Nov 2011 IP Northwest). The backdrop of the set and the designs of the fabric may well be original artistic works. There is also likely to be design right in the designs of the costumes and perhaps the props and sets. Finally, each and every one of the dancers and musicians has the right not to be filmed, taped or broadcast without consent under Part II of the 1988 Act (see Rights in Performances).
Actors tell each other to "break a leg" when they go on stage. That is not really appropriate for dancers because they sometimes do. They wish each other "toi, toi, toi", "chookas" or sometimes even "merde" instead. Let's wish Ballet Cymru toi, toi, toi at the Riverfront tonight. Do try to catch them on their tour of Wales if you possibly can. If you want to discuss this article or copyright in general, call me on 020 7404 5252 during office hours or send me a message through my contact form.

Welsh University Start-Ups
Author J Newman & Co.
Source Wikipedia Aberystwyth University
According to the BBC "universities in Wales are producing more graduate entrepreneurs than higher education generally across the UK(see Brian Meechan New business: Welsh universities' high start-up rate 2 May 2019). Having attended Pitch Perfect at M-SParc, having given talks there and at Aberystwyth University and having visited Bangor University's Pontio Arts and Innovation Centre, I am not surprised. Wales is a pleasant place to live, with fine research universities and, increasingly, a lively cultural scene.
But there is still more that can be done. Shortly before I spoke at the World IP Day celebration at MSParc I attended a presentation by Mo Aldalo, Tech Nation's Entrepreneur Engagement Manager for the North West at Sci-Tech Daresbury. I chatted with him briefly after his presentation, told him a little bit about M-SParc and its tenants and asked him whether Tech Nation would like to give a similar talk there. He replied that it would and I have followed that up with an email putting Mo in touch with M-SParc's management.
In my article Resources for Inventors and other Startups in Northwest Wales 5 Feb 2019 NIPC Inventors' Club I noted that "all the patent and trade mark attorneys in Wales practise in the south and mainly in and around Cardiff." The nearest ones appear to be in Chester and Liverpool and I shall try to persuade one of them to accompany me to Gaerwen when M-SParc holds another seminar on IP. Other speakers for the future could include a patent librarian to teach businesses owners and managers how to carry out simple patent, design and trade mark searches and an insurer specializing in IP insurance to talk about the various types of cover that are available.
Anyone wishing to discuss any of these topics should call me on 020 7404 5252 during office hours or send me a message through my contact page.

Helping Wales's Home Grown Inventors
Sir William Grove, Inventor
Author Lock & Whitfield
Source Wikipedia William Robert Grove
On the Inspiration page of its website, M-SParc (the Menai Science Park) notes that "Wales is home to some of the best scientists in the world". Many such as Lyn Evans who was project leader of the large hadron collider at CERN are employed by organizations in the public or private sectors but there are also many others in all walks of life who simply have good ideas.
One such was Willian Robert Grove whose photo appears above. He was a prolific inventor whose inventions include the gas voltaic battery which was the forerunner of the fuel cell, a technology upon which the world is likely to rely increasingly if it is to meet its carbon reduction targets. Like me, Grove was a barrister whose practice included patents. There are still plenty of inventors like Grove today and the government seeks to harness their potential in its industrial strategy (see "Harnessing the Potential of the UK's Home Grown Inventors" - The Government's Proposed Industrial Strategy 24 Jan 2017).
Such inventors do not get an easy time for all sorts of reasons. It is one thing to create a new product or process but quite another to market it. If an inventor tries to make and market his or her invention he or she has to go into business which is impossible for many. Entrepreneurship and invention do not always - in my experience, rarely - go together. If an inventor tries to license the invention to an established business he or she meets not invented here scepticism for he or she is, by definition, an outsider.
So what can private inventors do to lower the odds against success? One thing that inventors in other parts of the UK have done is to learn from each other. Inventors in Northwest England have formed Ideas North West which described itself as "a membership group of Inventors based in the North West of England" with the aim of helping each other exploit their ideas for new products or services in order to gain commercial success. They have their own invention promotion company called Ideas North North West Limited which appears to have helped several local inventors.
According to the Wessex Round Table of Inventors, there are similar groups in most parts of the United Kingdom though it seems none for Wales as yet. There is already a lot of support available for inventors in North Wales around M-SParc and the Pontio FabLab as events like Pitch Perfect and last week's World IP Day celebrations show. Those of us who took part in last week's seminar would like to build up a comprehensive support network like those provided by the British Library in London and Business and IP Centres in other English cities. There will soon be another science park in Aberystwyth where similar networks could be developed and, of course, there is the Intellectual Property Office in Newport which already hosts regular patent clinics.
if, while such networks are being developed, any inventor needs help with patenting, licensing, enforcement or other legal issues or signposting to other services such as angels, product design engineers, IP tax experts and others, he or she should call me during office hours on 020 7404 5252 or send me a message through my contact page.

Funny post from airliners.net

Forgive me if you've seen some version of this before - this didn't actually take place, but it's still funny.  I saw it on airliners.net and thought some of you guys might find it funny.  Enjoy.

At a recent computer

expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry

with the aircraft industry and stated, "If Embraer had kept up with

technology like the computer industry has, we would all be flying

$25.00 planes that go 1,000 miles per hour."

In response to Bill's comments, Embraer issued a press release

stating: If Embraer had developed technology like Microsoft, we would

all be flying planes with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever, your plane would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted taxiway and runway lines, you would have

to buy a new plane.

3. Occasionally your plane would die on the runway for no reason. You

would have to pull to the side, open all of the doors, shut off the

plane, restart it, and reclose the doors before you could continue.

For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause

your plane to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you

would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a plane that was powered by the sun, was

reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to fly - but would run

on only five percent of the airways.

6. The oil temperature, pressure and generator warning lights would

all be replaced by a single "This Aircraft Has Performed an Illegal

Operation" warning light.

7. The groundspoiler system would ask "Are you sure?" before

deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your plane would lock you

out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door

handle, turned the nosewheel and grabbed hold of the VHF radio

antenna.

9. Every time a new plane was introduced pilots would have to learn

how to fly all over again because none of the controls would operate

in the same manner as the old plane.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

Rachel Maddow Reveals She Has Skin Cancer [VIDEO]
Rachel Maddow: Get Your Skin Checked! Schedule An Appointment. It Very Well Might Save Your Life MSNBC
The MSNBC anchor revealed that she had surgery for skin cancer and made a passionate plea for everyone to get screened for the disease.
October 8, 2021 • By Bob Barnett
The way Rachel Maddow described it on her MSNBC show, The Rachel Maddow Show, the discovery of the mole on her neck that turned out to be skin cancer was a lucky accident.
She and her partner, Susan Mikula, were at a minor league baseball game. Because Maddow usually drives, Mikula sits to her right, but this time Mikula was sitting on her left and thus noticed the mole and told her it had changed.
"I had no idea what she was talking about," said Maddow, according to NBC News. Mikula insisted, "We've been together 22 years. That mole has changed." Maddow's hairstylist later confirmed that the mole had changed, which prompted a visit to her dermatologist, a biopsy, diagnosis and surgery. "Susan was right, like she always is," said Maddow, adding, "I am going to be absolutely fine."
The cable news host then made a passionate plea to her millions of viewers to get regular checkups. "Schedule a check now with your doctor," she said. "Then when your doctor tells you you're fine, but you should do this every year, put it in the calendar in your phone for a year from now, and then actually come back and do that follow-up appointment.
As Simple as ABCDE
While the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) does not currently recommend routine skin cancer screenings for people without symptoms, many experts advise regular self-exams and clinical examinations to check for things such as abnormal moles or sores that don't heal.
Having an abnormal mole examined, as Maddow did, is one of the most effective ways to catch skin cancer early. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests looking for these signs, easily memorized as ABCDE:
A: asymmetrical moles
B: moles with irregular or ragged borders
C: moles that contain different colors
D: moles that are more than a quarter inch in diameter
E: moles that are evolving, or changing in size, shape or appearance
The CDC's advice: "Talk to your doctor if you notice changes in your skin, such as a new growth, a sore that doesn't heal, a change in an old growth, or any of the A-B-C-D-Es of melanoma."
Early Detection for Melanoma Really Matters
While Maddow did not specify which skin cancer she was treated for, she went on to say:
"Even the deadliest kinds of skin cancer now, the ones that like to spread into other parts of your body, the ones that really like to try to kill you, even the skin cancers that are the deadliest skin cancers in this country, those too, are way more treatable than they used to be…on one condition, that you get them early. Even the most worrying forms of skin cancer, if you identify them early enough, are quite treatable."
Advances in treatment, including immunotherapy, for melanoma have led to a dramatic improvement in survival outcomes over the last decade, including for later stages. But the chances for a successful outcome are still better when the disease is caught at the earliest possible moment.
For melanoma that is caught at an early stage and is localized (has not spread), the five-year survival rate is 99%, according to the American Cancer Society. That number drops to 66% for melanoma that has spread to the region and to 27% when it has metastasized to distant parts of the body.
While these statistics may not directly relate to Maddow's specific cancer experience, they reinforce her message that close attention to a change in a mole and keeping up with regular checkups can make a big difference in one's chances of surviving skin cancer.
"It's only by the grace of Susan that I found mine in enough time that it was totally treatable," said Maddow, "because I have been blowing off my appointments forever to get stuff like that checked because I've assumed it will always be fine."

Douce France est une chanson écrite par Charles Trenet en 1943, composée avec Léo Chauliac et enregistrée en 1947.

Histoire

Douce France est créée par Charles Trenet en 1943. Il l'interprète l'année même aux Folies Bergères où son refrain est repris par le public comme un acte de résistance. À la Libération, elle est malgré tout considérée comme étant d' « esprit pétainiste ».

Ce titre fait l'objet de plusieurs reprises. L'une des plus connues est par un groupe beur, Carte de séjour, en 1986, en plein débat au parlement sur le code de la nationalité. La chanson devient un symbole pour une jeunesse métissée et anti-raciste.

Références littéraires
Son titre est inspiré d'un lieu commun sur la France apparu vers l'an 1080 dans la Chanson de Roland. Roland mourant regarde l'Espagne, se souvient de ses conquêtes et de sa « dulce France » :
Le comte Roland s'étendit dessous un pin.
Vers l'Espagne, il a tourné son visage.
Bien des choses lui reviennent en mémoire,
Tant de terres que le baron conquit,
La douce France, les hommes de son lignage,
Charlemagne, son seigneur qui l'éleva.
Il ne peut s'empêcher de pleurer et de soupirer.

L'expression la plus célèbre de cette nostalgie des exilés a été déclinée en « douceur angevine », aux alentours de 1555 par Joachim du Bellay, dans son sonnet des Regrets commençant par le célèbre hémistiche  :
Quand reverrai-je, hélas, de mon petit village
Fumer la cheminée, et en quelle saisonReverrai-je le clos de ma pauvre maison,
(...)
Plus me plaît le séjour qu'ont bâti mes aïeux,
(...)
Plus mon Loir gaulois, que le Tibre latin,
Plus mon petit Liré, que le mont Palatin,
Et plus que l'air marin la  angevine.

Cette « douceur angevine » fait d'abord référence au climat très tempéré de l'Anjou.

Il y a également dans les paroles une référence au recueil "Romances sans paroles" du poète Paul Verlaine ; "Je chantais à pleine voix / des romances sans paroles"
