I almost never talk about London but it is a big chapter of my life. I lived there for, in total, about two years. I walked the kilometres of its streets, indulged in its senses, breathed it, enjoyed it, loved it. Then I left, and with an exception of a short stint for an interview with Shell during my INSEAD year, did not come back until now, seven years after. A month ago, Louveteau and I went to London to celebrate his birthday. And just for the weekend in London, quoi. It was a good opportunity for me to reconnect with my memories of the British capital and to reflect on the aftermath of this city's magic on me.
London has shaped me in many ways. The education I got there might not be the most relevant for my career (well, actually, you never know with education: something learnt a decade ago can suddenly come handy. Actually, that's what usually happens.) However, the experiences I got there, the risks I took and the decisions I made, good and bad, affected many of my life choices. Maybe that's why it seems very important to me to resurrect my time in London.
Writing this chapter took me some time. Impressions fade over years, memories are getting replaced sooner than we realize it. London, however, stays with me in many ways, more than I probably know of.
When addresses, places, shows and fireworks leave the memory, when things, once precious, are worn out and thrown away, something inside, something forged by the dialogue with the city, by its gifts and the sacrifices it demands, by its generosity, its history, its magic, – this intangible something stays.
So I took my time to go through my first notes about London from as far as seven years ago, to reconstruct my first impressions, feelings about London, to breathe in my past. To cherish it.
My story with London begins in Sicily. As everything in my life (and probably, in many other lives), it is a product of a combination of people and places, sometimes so unlikely that it seems almost random. I went to Sicily with my Finnish friend Heidi. It was supposed to be a one week girls' vacation and, by a twist of luck and a light hand, as we say in Russian, of my friend Anastasia, turned into a two years' romance. The leading character of this story lived in London, and after he visited me in Helsinki multiple times, I have finally accepted that I am a boring person who can't even have a no-strings-attached summer affair, and grew into the idea of taking a plane to the unknown. Soon I landed in a new country. I did not know then that it was a beginning of a totally different romance: with London, independence and a feeling that everything you dream about is possible.
As it often happens with girls, guys and cities, my story with London proved to be more lasting than the relationship that brought me in it. I came back a year and a half later, on my own, to take a few summer courses at LSE, London School of Economics. I was initially going for (and was accepted to) an exchange semester at Queen's Mary College to pump up my knowledge of law but let it go in favor of Paris. Except for the university name, I had no idea what I was going to do in Paris. I just felt strong enough to forego common sense for a dream. London made me strong enough to do so.
My story with London has two parts: somewhat Eastern and very Western. The first one turned out to be a year and a half of city hopping between Helsinki and London, the second lasted a little bit more than a summer. Both made me who I am today.
Part I: Hayfield Passage E1
All in all, I remember London as a city where everything is not like everywhere else, and at the same time it is like I want it to be (or so it seemed back then). In addition to the direction people drove, the national currency with unprintable signage, the double-deck buses and the absence of numbers on the houses, London was full of surprises, both pleasant ones and not so much.
I have discovered that the buildings on the same side of the street could have even and uneven numbers (which are hidden anyway. The number plate would have the street and the area code, for example, W1 for the first quarter to the west from the city center, EC for the East-Central quarter and E17 for the lands beyond a grasp of a tourist. The individual house number was only known to postman and to Google, and there was no way of finding something unless you already knew where it is.) EU residents still needed a visa to live in London, and were not entitled to Duty Free. The ceilings were usually low, windows small and narrow, with wooden shutters, which went up and let the warm air in, floor carpets were fixed with nails and had their own ecosystem living beneath for decades, toilet paper deteriorated from just looking at it, and all kinds of pipes left much to be desired. Tap water raised suspicion as well, even though it was officially recognized as drinkable.
Food in the grocery stores was totally different from what I knew, and the choice was endless. The houses were like no other in any other city I visited up to this point. For example, the house at Hayfield Passage E1, which became my first residence in London, had a wicket and a narrow staircase that lead upstairs, to the porch. Inside, there was a marble corridor with apartment doors, then some common door again, another flight of stairs leading up, this time to a small green yard, then another door to the apartment and, finally, in the apartment itself, there was some entrance space, for a lack of a more precise word, and other stairs to the rooms and other marvels of civilization. In general, with the exception of several posh streets, like Oxford and Regent, most of the buildings of central residential areas of W1, EC, E1 and N1 rarely raise to more than four floors. They would, however, have a small porch, white wooden shutters and, often, a hidden cute green courtyard.
It was refreshing to be in a cosmopolitan city. To me, London was a European version of New York. Or, more precisely, it seemed to be what New York was some good hundred years ago: the center of stock trade, culture, research, innovation. Since then, it has slowed down and now lagged behind (I clearly preferred New York). However, the narrow streets, two-three floor mansions, tea rooms, impeccably dressed cute old people with their cutely dressed dogs (or cats, which could often be seen walking in London parks on a leash) still convey the charm and old time attraction of London. So does the unbeatable British accent, which infects every living thing once it settles in London (and which so many foreign living things unsuccessfully fake).
Talking about foreign living things, I have quickly found out, to my delight, that the notion of "local population" included representatives of all nations, British being hardly a third. At 25, London to me was a capital of the world, with a place for everyone. You could be coming from anywhere in the world, and it was normal. After Sweden and Finland, it was liberating: for once, no one was torturing me by the questions about the Second World War (Finnish hot topic number one) and didn't probe around the real role of Medvedev in Russian politics (an international hot topic). London, at last, gave me something I thought was lost for me: a sense of belonging.
All the diverse people of London were subject to some common moods. I called them London vibes. For example, to quickly undress up to T-shirts and shorts with the first rays of spring sunlight at 12 C and, radiating the sunshine in a smile, to cheerfully march in hawaianas. I have discovered hawaianas in London (to my delight) and could not help but noticing that everyone around was wearing them, regardless of age, income and other pieces of clothing chosen on that day.
The feeling of the world capital grew stronger at the choice of a place for lunch or dinner. Unlike Paris or Rome, the national cuisine in London did not even claim to be present among the gastronomic delights of other countries, and my stomach was cheerfully growling at the sight of Italian restaurants, French patisseries, Chinese-Vietnamese cafes and sushi in all possible combinations, ranging from the take out in Wasabi chain up to the Michelin's Nobu. In addition, multiple cafes were offering (and still are, by the way) fruit salads of all sizes in eat-in and to-go versions, dried goodies and a wide arrange of all possible healthy bites.
I was absolutely delighted to find at least three chains with superb (or so I thought then) coffee to go. I have always been passionate about exploring cities by foot and walked endless kilometers of impressions everywhere I lived. I started taking coffee with me on these walks long before it became a mass motion. My native city had no cafes serving a coffee to go then. Helsinki had one, Roberts' Coffee. With three chains, London has quickly become my coffee paradise. Alcohol, however, was posing some challenges. While the best bars, restaurants and clubs displayed quite a decent assortment, more earthy places, such as nice ambient cafes (which are in some places, like Hyde Park, are more expensive than the before mentioned high-end restaurants) only offer local wines, which I found, even with my loose Russian standards with regards to wine at the time, absolutely undrinkable. Plus local beer, which English could drink by liters any time of the day.
Clubs in London could be as different as the restaurants. Lost somewhere around Old Street, "Plastic People" played monthly sets by an Afro-American DJ, who was absolutely rocking the house by some home-made trans music. Just a few blocks away from it, in W1, a properly luxurious club, where Kate Moss and prince Harry were usual visitors, was lurking in the posh night.
One of the things that most impressed me about London was its size. I remember seeing it from the plane window for the first time: it started more than ten minutes before landing and was stretching by the endless canvas of forests, fields, lakes and castles, spreading out by the chess board of houses, mystifying by the road-formed "8"s and oozing respect. I have never seen cities that big, Moscow and Seoul seemed much more compact. I remember my first London metro ride, from Heathrow home. It took me then one hour forty (I remember being surprised that a metro ride can take that long). Half of the way the train was running above the ground, like in Helsinki (and very much unlike Russia where going under ground takes good three minutes). The seat rows were placed one in front of the other, like in my home country. I remember coming out of metro, at last, and breathing London for the first time. To me, it smelled like Voronezh, the city of my summer holidays. Voronezh and London are located on the same latitude, and London was as warm, as green and making me feel at home by the same trees (I guess, they are called Lombardy poplars).
Being objectively very big, subjectively London often felt small and cozy. It was not a kind of a city that impresses by amplitude: not as magnificent as Rome and by far not as impressive as strict Paris, but there was something imperceptible that made it mine and that made it home. Walking my endless get-to-know you kilometers in London, I did not stop at every corner, startled by its beauty, I was not impressed by the size of its buildings. However, it felt great to be there.
Everything was incredible and at the same time like it was supposed to be: relaxed smiling people, brightly green grass and the city's air: sparkling with energy, celebrating today with champagne and promising a summer-like tomorrow.
Some places were symbolic of optimism to me. For some reason, most of them were food related. Finsbury Square, where I was eating my first London take-away sushi on my first day here. Michelin-starred Nobu, where I remember being swept away, after having been already swapped away by "Mamma Mia", a great touching musical, getting full room for more than ten years in a row and the only of London musicals never in the half price tickets booths.
London was also very green. After limestone Paris (which was my favorite city in the world already then, and even London, with its size and its trees, could do nothing to replace it from my heart), the most green city for me was Barcelona. London easily beat it, not only by the sheer number of trees, gardens, parks and flower-beds in the middle of the roads, but also by its shade of green, so bright that it seems photoshoped.
London was confirming some of my expectations and shifting others. St Paul's, familiar to me from the English texts of school excursions in my native St Petersburg and now making me think about home and about St Isaac's, turning out to be even more beautiful than I pictured it. Sunday markets, which have revolutionized my idea of markets. There is no such thing as a great market in Russia. At least in my view, market was a messy, loud and cheap alternative to traditional stores, a place which no normal person would ever consider having a choice. At some point of Russian turbulent history of the 90s we did not have such a choice, and Troitsky Market in St Petersburg is still one of the most toxic memories that I have about my native city. In London, I have soon discovered Bricklane, Spitafields and Camden Town. All of them boiled down to fireworks of taste impressions, food from everywhere in the world, from Australia to Brasil, laid out on the counter, stringed on the wood sticks, hot in huge boilers, and smelling amazing on the grill. There was a special place for food at every market, closer to the exit or to the street, with courtyards for having it. And everything was very, very clean. I never got to like the markets, even in London, even later, when I was living at Portobello Road, but I never think of them the same since then.
I first came to London during the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008. The crisis took jobs of two million people. Yet London still had the air of financial realm, and it still was fascinating. For the first time in my life I felt like something very small which was a part of something very big, and it was captivating. At the same time, a lot of Londoners were completely immune to the magic of the city's possibilities. They were doing some really interesting things: with pleasure and, apparently, voluntarily, working with difficult kids (and getting thank you flowers from them); inventing clothes; painting white canvas a few meters by a few meters size from a paint can; drawing graffiti, which were being sold a couple of years later at the auctions for millions pounds… London was the place where many dreams were coming true. And, last but not least, London had a river and it had bridges, which made it finally mine. For some reason, having a river in the city I live in is really important to me: neither sea nor ocean have the same "domestic" effect on me. I was contentedly smiling every time I was looking at Thames.
Part II : Portobello Road W11 1LA
I came back to London for London (and for LSE, because I was sure that the second Masters' was my last degree and I wanted to do it right). After half a year of having given up my Helsinki place at Castreninkatu and living at the city's most prestigious address which never felt mine, I had home again. It was small, it was temporary, but it was mine. A Finnish girl Mirka, a friend of a friend, left London for the summer and sub-rented her apartment (or, more precisely, her part of the apartment) to me. Theoretically, I had a flatmate, a trader from City (and maybe even Russian, judging by his name). He was coming home around 2 am and leaving by 6, we almost never crossed and I was only reminded about his presence by occasional changes at the kitchen we both shared.
This time in London I was absolutely happy. Delight was my constant state of being. I wanted to kiss every pebble, to take picture of every building, I was smiling to everyone, even to the mysterious people on the ground floor of my building who spoke no English. I was sleeping maximum five hours per day and walking kilometers by foot.
I was living in Notting Hill, the part of Western London I did not know so well. Notting Hill was all about three-storeyed doll houses, villas, stashed in the bushes of green, and former stables, renovated into neat, painted in the colors of the rainbow, brick houses. Every second building there was a pub, a restaurant or a coffee shop, everything was somewhat miniature, homelike and very welcoming. Every third was a designer shop (of absolutely everything), an antique- or a bookstore. Notting Hill was very much like Chelsea, but much more relaxed. I could go out without a makeup, in hawaianas, with a ponytail, sit at any cafe and feel good about it. The sushi place across my house was giving away sushi they did not sell during the day, for free. Unlike my previous London address in the East, the neighbours here knew each other very well: a sentiment, reinforced by regular BBQs at the common closed backyard with flowers, and were leaving each other cats and keys when on vacation. London summer heat meant that many were keeping their entrance doors open (the common house entrance door was still locked by a separate key), and with some time, experiments and caution, I have started doing the same.
Getting more of my personal space in London raised my comfort bar. First thing I bought in Sainsbury's after settling in was a disinfecting hands gel: for some reason, now I always felt like washing my hands in London. Something was equally irking in me at the sight of nailed-to-floor-half-a-century-old carpets of an unidentifiable color. Living in Notting Hill also introduced the reverse side of this postcard picture place: garbage treatment. Most of the Notting Hill houses are old, which means they were build too long ago to leave space for the system of garbage containers adopted by humanity at a later stage of development. What it means for now is that the garbage collectors are passing by Notting Hill several times on certain days at night, and the residents were supposed to leave (in theory treated) garbage bags right on the street, again during limited after-dawn hours, not to disturb the pretty public view. What seems a pretty straightforward way on paper did not work so well in the real life. People confused the days and the hours (or maybe the summer garbage stink in a small apartment outweighed possible offense of the public premises), did not care so much about the garbage treatment, and often the juicy obscure garbage bags were left unattended on the streets for days under the summer heat. So I had some minor sanitary concerns.
Some other things emerged about London that I did not notice there during my relationship time there. A few years in the city, beyond my initial fascination with it and on my own, I have quickly realized that many things in London were temporary. Jobs, housing, relations. None of these were good enough to maintain for a long time yet ok to keep for a couple of years, usually to take advantage of London's best in Europe economics, with all the career possibilities it was offering. The pressures of these career possibilities were usually too high to enjoy even that for a long time, so the usual frame of thinking in London was along the lines of "I will do it for a couple of years and then we will see". It was a city of singles, for singles, and to be enjoyed as long as you were single, not burdened by a family with all the needs of space, safety and a green lawn for the kids to play at. So no one really invested in their temporary situations. Everyone I knew at the time was renting, no one has bought a single piece of furniture for all the time they were in London (at least, a first-hand one), no one was planning to settle and everyone was, you know, available for possibilities.
At the same time, as never before, I saw London as a galaxy of possibilities and chances, vibrant with possible future scenarios, as tangible that I felt I could grasp them in the air. Every closed door opened another one, bankruptcy of some companies gave raise to new startups and, eventually, new business models, the cinema was running movies which would become available in Russia, France and Italy in a couple of months, and people were going out without a reason regardless of the day of the week.
At times, I could not understand my feelings London and its attitude to me. My life at Portobello Road W11 1LA was a lot like a coin flipped into the air: I threw it towards the blue summer sky, caught my breath and, cautious not to flap my eyelashes too loudly, was waiting for what life had for me. It was somewhat unsettling and very, very exciting at the same time. Life to me was made of open doors, and I could touch every door handle and make a step into the future. Everything was possible.
In many ways, my time in London was a time of making choices. Moving to Helsinki came to me in a form of a phone call from a friend offering co-ownership of the company and life abroad. That was easy. Coming to London was more of a decision. So was staying there and coming back for studies, once the initial reason of being there became irrelevant. If Helsinki showed me that life can surprise, enthuse and that living abroad gives new meaning to old things, that dreams (in this case, about exploring the world) come true, London taught me that sometimes you have a choice between two equally good options, two fantastic cities, two possibilities, two lives worth living. Choosing exchange period for my Masters' became much more than deciding where to spend six months. By large, it was a choice between sensible (building on my law background to get a practical, universally applied degree in London) and emotional (going to Paris, the city where I did not even know what I could study but something inside me sang at the idea). Oh well, I have never been good with sensible decisions.
One of the most London things for me are taxi drivers. Apologies, black cab drivers (because black cab driver is like no other, and it apparently takes a lot of time, money, determination and some God's will to become one). Taxi drivers were telling me people's stories, a lot of them. About a tube strike, which started because two of the train drivers were laid off: one of them had opened the train doors on the wrong side, and people leaving the train were two seconds from being killed by the train coming from the opposite direction. Another train driver was caught (and camera recorded) playing football while on a six months' paid medical leave. About the other tube workers, paid a little bit short to those working in City. About a girl who was doing some very basic job among an army of people working for some pop star. Once the star fired up, let her current manager go and told the girl that she was the manager going forward. The star was Madonna. The girl, after having worked for her for ten years, has a several million dollars' house at one of London's best addresses. Now she gave a birth to a baby and switched to manage one band, "I am not sure if you have heard about it", Pet Shop Boys.
London taxi drivers added my story to their people's lives library: about life in Helsinki, parents in South Korea, best friends in Vienna and Rome, Sicilian boyfriend in London and my own company at 23. To tell to the next passenger that the world is full of wonders and you can come across all of them in London.
Visit A Girl with Geography: about that page for other Chapters.
P.S. As a post scriptum to this chapter, I am sharing some of my most favorite London whereabouts: places I loved when living there, places I was going to every day, places that made London what it is to me. All of them exist today and I really hope, all will exist tomorrow.
Babylon Beach and Blanket, Notting Hill: pre-dinner drinks place, so perfect that sometimes I would cancel the dinner and just stay there.
The Ledbury, Notting Hill: probably the only reason to finally move from Babylon's. One of the best restaurants in Europe which mixes up all the best that Europe has to offer in a classic, New York-posh set up. A must in London.
Granger & Co, Notting Hill: one of the top two brunch places. They don't accept table reservations, so you come, wait, wait, wait, fume (I am being a little bit dramatic here, the usual waiting time is about 30 min), then enter, get a table and fall in love. Next Saturday you are there as well.
202, Notting Hill: another one of the top two brunch places. 202 is mostly known for its modern blend of food, retail and fashion (with a rustic touch) but ok, interiors are trending and fading out but great brunch places hold hearts forever.
Pizzaro, Borough: they say it is Spanish, but even if it is, that's London Spanish. Tapas are still there (and so is Iberico ham) but half of the menu is made up by the things you already know and love from other geographies. Equally great for an evening with friends or for a date.
The Table Café, South Bank: another great brunch place (you see by now that I am big on brunch places but then, that's London). Special because of the open air courtyard and somewhat original twist of the brunch classics. Literally everything is good.

I ve almost never hear this part of your travelling life. It's a very interesting chapitre ! But as for me I dont agree that you ve never been good with sensible decisions… just don't agree… du tout! 🙂

I don't know, that really depends. I took illogical decisions when changing all the cities to stay in Paris. Germany paid (much) more, Finland promised citizenship, and so on… No regrets. On the other hand, I took some very reasonable roads to get where I am (hard work, mostly) 😏 so not really black-and-white on the sensible decisions front

Like with every good piece of software updates and upgrades are mandatory to keep up-to-date with the latest features and security fixes. Since WordPress offers a vast range of plugins to extend its core functionality these plugins should be kept up-to-date too. Now, to be able to use these plugins after a WordPress upgrade it is important to carry out prior compatibility checks not to break any existing functionality.
Especially if you have numerous plugins installed this check can be time consuming. Thus, it would be nice to have another plugins doing exactly these checks in advance – that's where Better Plugin Compatibility Control (BPCC) comes into play. BPCC nicely formats the list of currently installed plugins and provides information on the compatibility.
Another useful plugin when it comes to updates and upgrades is Changelogger. This handy plugin saves you some time by displaying changelogs messages for each plugin in the list view.
Using these two plugins managing WordPress upgrades and plugin updates has become much more comfortable and easier.

A mother has spoken of her horror after she witnessed a dad hit son "really hard on the head" in a Plymouth pasty shop.
The mum reported the incident to the police after seeing a boy, around the age of ten, get hit over the head by what appeared to be his father - and then called "a vile name".
It is understood Devon and Cornwall Police is looking into the incident.
The eyewitness said: "The little boy jumped onto his dad's back, playing around.

"The dad then threw him off himself, smacked him really hard on the head and called him a t***."
At the time, the mum says she was in the shop with her young children getting some lunch, and when they arrived the young boy was already there with his family.
If you suspect a child is suffering from abuse call the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000 or email help@nspcc.org.uk (Image: Getty Images)
She said: "The little boy was really upset, crying and was probably embarrassed too.
"They left the shop with mum and another sibling, the dad was still shouting.
"The lady behind the counter witnessed the incident too, but we couldn't believe what had happened."

The woman said that her children were shocked by the incident and she was left feeling "heartbroken" by it all.
She added: "My five-year-old asked me why his dad got very angry and why the little boy got a smack on his head.
"I just wanted to hug the boy myself. He was so upset, it was heartbreaking to see.
"I reported it to the police and they are going to check the CCTV."
A worker from the Ivor Dewdney store said: "We had a police officer come in this morning, he wanted to check the CCTV, but I wasn't in and didn't know anything about it."
What to do if you suspect child abuse
The following information is supplied from the NSPCC website. If you're worried about a child, even if you're unsure, contact NSPCC professional counsellors 24/7 for help, advice and support. Call the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000 or email help@nspcc.org.uk
Abuse is one of the very worst things that can ever happen to a child. But it's not always easy to pick up the signs. And a child might not even know that what's happening is wrong.
You might have noticed bruises on a child that seem concerning, but you're not sure they're being abused. Or, you might be worried a child is being neglected because you often hear them crying in distress.
By being prepared, and knowing what help is available, you can make a real difference to a child's safety and wellbeing. Below you can find support and advice on what to do if you think a child's being abused.

What to do if you're not sure
If you're in a situation where you suspect abuse of a child but they haven't actually said anything to you, there are a number of steps you can take.
Continue to talk to the child
Keep a diary
Talk to the child's teacher or health visitor
Get someone else's perspective
Talk through your worries
If you suspect that someone is abusing a child, reporting the abuse may not be something you want to consider. Especially if the alleged abuser is a friend or family member.
Your initial reaction may be to dismiss it or try to prove it's not true. But it's vital that you report your concerns if you feel a child's in danger. By not reporting your concerns it could mean that the abuse will continue.
How to report online sexual abuse or communication
When should I report?
If you're worried that your child is being groomed online or sexually exploited you should report your concerns to CEOP.
It is not always easy to spot the signs of online grooming and sexual exploitation so if you have any concern at all about someone your child is in contact with, you should get in touch.
You should always report if your child is or has been in contact with someone who is:
Chatting online to your child about sex
Asking them to do sexual things on webcam
Asking to meet up if they've only met them online
Requesting sexual pictures
Forcing them into sexual activity
Making them feel unsafe
CEOP is a command of the National Crime Agency and can investigate what is happening – with the assurance that the safety and wellbeing of your child is paramount at all times.
If you are concerned that your child is in immediate danger, call 999.
How do I make a report?
You can make a report to CEOP using the CEOP Safety Centre.
You will need to complete an online form which will ask you for your contact details and information about what has happened. It will ask:
Who did it happen to?
What do you know about the suspect involved?
You should complete the form as fully as you can but don't worry if you don't have all of the details.
Do I have to give my name?
When completing a CEOP report you are reporting suspicions of crime to law enforcement so we can't receive anonymous reports.
If you want to discuss your concerns with someone first then call the NSPCC Helpline on 0800 800 5000
Who receives the report and what happens next?
All of the reports are first reviewed by child protection social workers. They will:
Read the report and assess the risk to your child
Look to make contact with you to discuss next steps
Give safeguarding advice and support
Support your child
It is important to remember that it can be difficult for a child to come forward and tell an adult what has happened to them – they are often embarrassed, fear adults won't understand , scared they will get into trouble or that adults will over react. Ensure you tell your child that whatever has happened, it is not their fault and you are on their side.
Finding out your child has been sexually abused can be a traumatic experience. You may need additional support to come to terms with what has happened to your child.
Remember to SAVE ANY MESSAGES that have upset you so you can show them to who you tell - they will be able to help, and they will be able to give you good advice about what else you can do. Never worry about getting in trouble - you aren't the one who has done anything wrong.
Don't let anything stop you from protecting a child
There are many reasons why adults don't report their concerns when they're worried about a child. But children need someone to speak up for them to help them.

What is nonsense mutation? Describe in detail with suitable examples.
Nonsense mutation
A nonsense mutation is a genetic mutation in a DNA sequence that results in a shorter, unfinished protein product. DNA is a chain of many smaller molecules called nucleotides. During protein formation, DNA (or RNA) nucleotide sequences are read three nucleotides at a time in units called codons, and each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid or stop signal. Stop codons are also called nonsense codons because they do not code for an amino acid and instead signal the end of protein synthesis. Thus, nonsense mutations occur when a premature nonsense or stop codon is introduced in the DNA sequence. Nonsense mutation: A mutation in a base in the DNA that prematurely stops the translation. of messenger RNA (mRNA) resulting in a polypeptide chain that ends prematurely and a protein product that is truncated and incomplete and usually non-functional.
The nonsense mutation converts a codon (a triplet of bases) that encodes an amino acid into a stop codon, one that specifies the termination of translation. There are three nonsense codons (UAG, UAA, and UGA) in mRNA. Catching such a defective messenger RNA (mRNA) before a truncated and potentially harmful protein is synthesized is the job of what is called the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway. A nonsense mutation occurs when the sequence of nucleotides in DNA is changed in a way that stops the normal sequence of amino acids in the final protein. In central dogma of biology, DNA is transposed into RNA, which is then translated into a protein. In the DNA, each amino acid is designated by a series of three nucleotides, called a codon.
There are around 21 amino acids which can be designated by this system. There are also two other important signals, "START" and "STOP". These signals allow the ribosome assembling the protein to know where to begin, and where to end. This completely changes the structure of the protein, because anything after the "STOP" signal is ignored. The ribosome snips off the incomplete protein, and goes on its way. Without the remainder of the amino acid chain, the protein may function and form completely differently than before.
The vast majority of mutations are deleterious, meaning they cause a decrease in the overall fitness and reproductive success of the organism. A nonsense mutation would fall into this category if the mutation affected an important functional protein. Imagine if the nonsense mutation was found in the DNA which coded for an ion channel protein.
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder caused by a nonsense mutation which does exactly that. The protein affected by the nonsense mutation in cystic fibrosis is a regulator protein for ion channels. Without the ability to properly move ions, people with cystic fibrosis often have respiratory problems caused by a mucous build up due to the unregulated ions in their system. Duchene muscular dystrophy is another disease cause by a nonsense mutation, and there are many more examples. Below is a chart of several point mutations, or mutations of a single nucleotide.
A nonsense mutation can be seen in the middle. In this case, the original codon read "TTC". This called for an mRNA with the codon "AAG", which then produced a lysine in the amino acid chain. A nonsense mutation would change the first "T" to an "A". This makes the first codon "ATC". The corresponding mRNA segment, "UAG", is a signal to the ribosome to stop the chain. Unlike any of the other mutations, this ends the chain entirely.
Nonsense mutation represents about 10% of the mutations responsible for genetic related pathologies attracted the attention of researchers and industries to specifically correct them. Various strategies have been developed in order to correct nonsense mutations. Some of these strategies are nonsense mutation-specific, and some can apply to different categories of mutations. Finally, some will affect the genomic DNA and some will target the RNA only, excluding the ethical question of heredity.
Nonsense mutations are involved in about 10% of patients with genetic diseases. These genetic diseases can enter in the rare pathology category, or in the frequent disease class, making nonsense mutation therapies of interest for a significant number of patients. Among the rare pathology category, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) will be described. The rate of nonsense mutations among all these pathologies is variable, from one gene to another, or from one tissue to another. However, the mechanism of gene silencing occurring as a consequence of a nonsense mutation is shared by all patients harbouring a nonsense mutation in the gene responsible for their pathology.
Describe in detail with suitable examples.
DNA: 5' - ATG ACT CAC CGA GCG CGA AGC TGA - 3'
3' - TAC TGA GTG GCT CGC GCT TCG ACT - 5'
mRNA: 5' - AUG ACU CAC CGA GCG CGA AGC UGA - 3'
Protein: Met Thr His Arg Ala Arg Ser Stop
Suppose that a nonsense mutation was introduced at the fourth triplet in the DNA sequence (CGA) causing the cytosine to be replaced with thymine, yielding TGA in the DNA sequence. Since TGA is transcribed-then-translated as UGA, the resulting transcript and protein product would be:
DNA: 5' - ATG ACT CAC TGA GCG CGA AGC TGA - 3'
3' - TAC TGA GTG ACT CGC GCT TCG ACT - 5'
mRNA: 5' - AUG ACU CAC UGA GCG CGU AGC UGA - 3'
Protein: Met Thr His Stop
The remaining codons of the mRNA are not translated into amino proteins because the stop codon is prematurely reached during translation. This can yield a truncated abbreviated protein product, which quite often lacks the functionality of the normal, non-mutant protein. Many organisms—including humans and lower species, such as yeast—employ a nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway, which degrades mRNAs containing nonsense mutations before they are translated into non-functional polypeptides. Examples of diseases in which nonsense mutations are known to be among the causes include Cystic fibrosis (caused by the G542X mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulatorgene), Duchenne muscular dystrophy (dystrophin), Beta thalassaemia (β-globin), Hurler syndrome

WSR interviews Brandi Chastain
WOMEN SPORTS REPORT: We understand you are with the Women's College Soccer playoffs and the season is coming to a close. Can you tell us about that?
CHASTAIN: That is correct. We will shortly hear from the NCAA Committee that will give us the pairings for the Championship for all women's college soccer teams.
WSR: Where does the Championship take place?
CHASTAIN: It will take place at the University of San Diego which is where one of our Conference teams is located.
WSR: We understand you are working on behalf of Capital One Cup. What is the Capital One Cup?
CHASTAIN: The Capital One Cup is an NCAA Division 1 athletics award honoring the top men and women's college athletics program in the country.
Division 1 programs will compete all year in an attempt to earn points in the race for the Capital One Cup. It is based on their Top 10 finishes in fall, winter and spring sports. The winning men and women's athletics programs will win the Cup trophy and a $400.000 scholarship at the end of the spring athletics program.
WSR: What are your thoughts on the upcoming women's college soccer playoff season and your predictions for the 2012 Women's College Cup?
CHASTAIN: This season has been one of the most exciting seasons in a long time. There is a lot of parity between the teams. The number one team has not held on to the number one spot all year long. That makes it exciting. There are 64 teams competing in Division 1 level across the country.
Every weekend there are two games played; each round is exciting and because of parity among the teams, colleges that have not won the Cup have an excellent chance to win this year.
WSR: Do you care to make a prediction for which team might win?
CHASTAIN: No, I am terrible at that but I believe San Clara University (California) where my husband is head soccer coach has a good chance. Soccer is a great sport, it is unpredictable, you do not have to be the best team on paper, it all depends on how you come out that day to play.
Ninety minutes is a long game, anything can happen.
WSR: That is true. Look at the result of this years World Series as an example.
Who would have thought the San Francisco Giants would sweep the Detroit Tigers?
CHASTAIN: No one, least of all me but I am a Giants fan so I was delighted.
WSR: You were a women's soccer broadcaster for NBC during the 2012 Olympics in London this year. What was that like for you?
CHASTAIN: I played in the Olympics as an athlete three times, and this was my second time announcing the soccer tournament. Women's soccer is at a height that it has never been at in terms of excitement and parity that is around the world now.
It is always exciting to be at the Olympics, whether as an athlete or fan.
Game are close, there is so much great skill and talent on all the teams. The United States won the gold medal; as a former player, having played soccer all my life,
that was thrilling for me and the thousands of fans who watched.
The fans in London got to watch women's soccer on a level never seen before and they really appreciated it.
WSR: Now that Pia Sundhage has played her last game, who do you believe will step up as the new USWNT coach?
CHASTAIN: She stepped down from the US team and went back to her native Sweden where she will coach there. US soccer just announced that Tom Sermanni
from Australia will be a great addition to our Senior National team and will replace Pia.
WSR: How can the WPSL (Women's Professional Sports League) start moving in a similar direction like Men's Professional Soccer, having consistent games and US fan support, sponsors, etc?
CHASTAIN: Like any other entity, there has to be support on the local level, the grass roots level. Cities like Portland (a), Seattle, Toronto and New York are building great stadiums; fans are coming out to watch and support their teams.
This is changing how the overall general soccer fan sees the game. This is very exciting.
WSR: How long have you involved with Capital One Cup?
CHASTAIN: This is my third year and I say this very proudly. I think this is the most prestigious Cup or award out there not only because of what it stands for in terms of the type of athletics that it wants to celebrate but because they also recognize the academic side of the athlete with $400.00 dollars worth in scholarships. This speaks volumes about how they feel about the athletes, not only in terms of what they achieved on the field of sports, but also in the classroom,
WSR: Are we correct that these scholarships are not only on women's sports but also on the male athletic programs?
CHASTAIN: That is correct. This year is the 40th anniversary of Title 9 so for me, this is very personal having grown up playing soccer as a youngster when there were only 75 teams in Division 1 and there are now over 320 teams. That is a huge growth.
I love what Capital One is doing and the trophy is gorgeous.
WSR: Is it true you live in the San Francisco Bay area?
CHASTAIN: I live in San Jose near Santa Clara University.
WSR: Do you have children and if so, do they play soccer or any sports at all?
CHASTAIN: I do. I have one son studying law at Santa Clara University; he played soccer at Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose, California. I also have a six year old, first grader who is on his first team ever.
WSR: Any last thoughts you wish to leave our readers with?
CHASTAIN: Yes. We are so connected to the Internet, if fans want to learn more about how their teams are doing or our rivals up the road, Stanford University.
They have been two times winners on the women's side or down in Florida, the Gators, winners on the men's side, they can go to:
Facebook.com/CapitalOneCup or Twitter.com/CapitalOneCup or by visiting
CapitalOneCup.com
CapitalOne is not only doing a great job highlighting major sports we see on TV but also sports that do not get much acclaim like cross-country, water polo or women's soccer. It highlights everyone in the same way. These other sports contribute as much as the major sports do. Check it out and cheer your team on.

Following the 2010 season, the Beavers were placed for sale and relocation because of the lack of a suitable stadium in Portland. The park known as PGE Park was remodeled into a soccer-only configuration for the MLS's 2011 expansion for a team known as The Portland Timbers. They play at Jeld-Wen Field, formally known as PGE Park.
The Portland Beavers moved to Tucson, Arizona and are known as the Tucson Padres.

We have OpenSync connected to a remote MySQL server and we're trying to get the ability to create customers/update customers working properly.
Specifically trying to get a customer to be a child. On the child we've tried setting ParentRef_ListID and ParentRef_FullName both individually and together and every time OpenSync connects to sync them it just overwrites all the data without actually updating the customer to be a child of the parent. Updating other information (ie, email) correctly sends that information over but the parentref will not stick.
Are we setting these fields incorrectly?
Which version of OpenSync are you using? Are you setting the STATUS field to UPDATE? the running an update task?
Most recent version, yes I set the status field to UPDATE and ran the task. It "updates" and I get a new TimeModified but it removes the ParentRef_ListID and ParentRef_FullName and sets the sublevel back to 0 again automatically.
Not a huge deal – just told my client that they can't do that and, since it isn't need often, it won't be too big of a deal for them to do it through QuickBooks.
I also noticed that the UserData field does not work as intended – I saw that other posts said the same thing and nothing has been done to fix it yet which is disheartening and the primary reason I decided to start purchasing this for our clients (one right now, two others over the next couple of months, countless more in the future). Now we have to try and link things in a rigged way but it works until that starts working.
We are working on it. Sorry for the inconveniences about UserData field.
Did the issue with the UserData field ever get resolved?
UserData field is not supported yet by OpenSync. Sorry for the inconveniences.
You really should update your website then.

CRISTINA'S BLOG
A Message from Purist's Editor in Chief
As I listen to the familiar melody of a new year coming, I am grateful for the truths Purist has taught me, grateful for my loving family, and for you, my extended family.
Happy in Tanzania
By Cristina Cuomo
As I listen to the familiar melody of a new year coming, I am grateful for the truths Purist has taught me, grateful for my loving family, and for you, my extended family, because without your support, our mission to bring good health and joy into your lives would not be possible.
2020 will be a big year, and who better to lead the charge toward positive changes than our winter issue cover star, Oprah Winfrey? She is embarking on a tour of wellness at arenas around the country, teaching personal empowerment so that we can be our best selves. Read her cover story here.
Mostly, I am grateful for the sheer gift of life. I discovered the poetry of Mattie J.T. Stepanek years ago when my husband befriended the child poet, whose inspirational message lives on years after his untimely passing in 2004 at age 13 from a fatal neuromuscular disease called dysautonomic mitochondrial myopathy. I have always loved his message to "play after every storm," and his knowledge of the true path to peace. Here, his mother, Jeni Stepanek, PhD, who continues to battle the same rare condition, shares with Purist a powerful reminder to savor every moment.
My final thought: Go with the flow this upcoming year. It's never too late to believe in things that are bigger than ourselves. In the field of positive psychology, the concept of "flow" suggests something quite different: the idea that real contentment comes from being so fully immersed in what we are doing we cease to be aware of our own existence. This kind of happiness isn't about escape; it's about total engagement, as Purist's contributing writer Dimitri Ehrlich writes. The idea that the best moments in our lives aren't passive, relaxing times, such as getting a massage, but instead come when we stretch our mind and body to their limits, runs counter to commonly accepted ideas of what will make us happy.
"You can define happiness as a state of feeling physically content, but that usually doesn't last long," says Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the Hungarian psychologist and author who coined the term flow. The key idea in his seminal book, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, is that happiness isn't something that just happens to us; we have to work for it. "You could also define happiness as being very successful," he says. "But if you are successful in a way that you have not earned, sooner or later you will feel bad about it. So the best bet for investing in a good life is to have goals that you think are important and that you can manage to reach if you expend a lot of effort."
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share my discoveries with you this year, and have the happiest New Year, whether your plans include more sleep or more work or both!

The Widom insertion method is a statistical thermodynamic approach to the calculation of material and mixture properties.  It is named for Benjamin Widom, who derived it in 1963.  In general, there are two theoretical approaches to determining the statistical mechanical properties of materials.  The first is the direct calculation of the overall partition function of the system, which directly yields the system free energy.  The second approach, known as the Widom insertion method, instead derives from calculations centering on one molecule.  The Widom insertion method directly yields the chemical potential of one component rather than the system free energy.  This approach is most widely applied in molecular computer simulations but has also been applied in the development of analytical statistical mechanical models. The Widom insertion method can be understood as an application of the Jarzynski equality since it measures the excess free energy difference via the average work needed to perform, when changing the system from a state with N molecules to a state with N+1 molecules. Therefore it measures the excess chemical potential since , where .

Overview

As originally formulated by Benjamin Widom in 1963, the approach can be summarized by the equation:

where  is called the insertion parameter,  is the number density of species ,  is the activity of species ,  is the Boltzmann constant, and  is temperature, and  is the interaction energy of an inserted particle with all other particles in the system.  The average is over all possible insertions.  This can be understood conceptually as fixing the location of all molecules in the system and then inserting a particle of species  at all locations through the system, averaging over a Boltzmann factor in its interaction energy over all of those locations.

Note that in other ensembles like for example in the semi-grand canonical ensemble the Widom insertion method works with modified formulas.

Relation to other thermodynamic quantities

Chemical potential

From the above equation and from the definition of activity, the insertion parameter may be related to the chemical potential by

Equation of state
The pressure-temperature-density relation, or equation of state of a mixture is related to the insertion parameter via

where  is the compressibility factor,  is the overall number density of the mixture, and  is a mole-fraction weighted average over all mixture components:

Hard core model
In the case of a 'hard core' repulsive model in which each molecule or atom consists of a hard core with an infinite repulsive potential, insertions in which two molecules occupy the same space will not contribute to the average.  In this case the insertion parameter becomes

where  is the probability that the randomly inserted molecule of species  will experience an attractive or zero net interaction; in other words, it is the probability that the inserted molecule does not 'overlap' with any other molecules.

Mean field approximation
The above is simplified further via the application of the mean field approximation, which essentially ignores fluctuations and treats all quantities by their average value.  Within this framework the insertion factor is given as

PLEASE NOTE: This article is for earlier versions of Nautilus File Manager (2.x) found in earlier Ubuntu releases running on Gnome 2.x, so will not work in Unity (the default desktop environment) or Gnome Shell, both of which are based on Gnome 3.
Nautilus can be cosmetically customised quite easily, so it's a simple matter to replace the blank window background with either a picture, colour or gradient, as well as make important files and folders stick out from the rest.
Simply go to Edit > Backgrounds and Emblems… and you can choose to change the background image (via Patterns), background colour (via Colours), as well as designate emblems to files and folders of your choosing (via Emblems).
To make a pattern or image the background for folder windows, simply drag-and-drop it onto an empty area of Nautilus, and it's done. And if you want to revert to a blank background, drag the Reset option at the top instead of an image.
Similarly, if you just want a different colour as the background, in the Colours section you can drag a new background colour to Nautilus, and it will immediately change. Note that if you drop the colour in the corner or near the edge of the window, rather than closer to the centre, it will create a gradient of that colour blending into the previous one.
Assigning an emblem to a file or folder, for the purpose of making it stick out, is likewise a very simple matter. Once again, all you need to do is drag one of the emblems, then drop it onto the file or folder in question.
You might notice that there is no option for resetting an object to have no emblem, but all you have to do should you want to remove one is right-click the file or folder, choose Properties, go to the Emblems tab, and untick the emblem that is being used.

SPMA alumnus Ryan Starr hired by London Knights Hockey Club
Friday, June 10, 2016 | by Colleen Patterson	| 1
SPMA grad Ryan Starr holds up the Memorial Cup.
Ryan Starr (BSM '13, MA '16) credits his sport management program and professors with helping him score his dream job.
"If someone would have told me a year ago, I would be working for a championship hockey team, I never would have believed them," says the London Knights' new Public Relations and Communications Manager.
Seven months ago, Starr was preparing to defend his master's thesis on the effects of hosting major games on sport participation among Canadians. Little did he know, only a few months later he would join the management of a team on their way to winning the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup.
"It's unbelievable to think of where I am now. In my role, I am the main point of communication for the team between local media, fans and community leaders," says Starr.
As a sport management (SPMA) graduate, Starr says the program prepared him to take on this challenge.
"Arguably the most important aspect of my position is to know how to build and foster relationships with local fans and media. The sport industry knowledge I gained from the SPMA professors has been invaluable in preparing me for this role," says Starr.
During his time at Brock, Starr received practical and focused learning about the sport industry which helped him develop an understanding of management concepts and critical skills.
"A lot of people come into the Sport Management program with the hope of working for a big four team (NHL, NFL, MLB, NBA) right out of school. If you look at the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), the purpose is to prepare players to make the jump into the NHL, however this can also be applied to front office staff," says Starr.
"The OHL is a developmental league in that everything is similar to the NHL, just on a smaller scale. The hockey operations are smaller, the crowds are generally smaller, and the arenas are smaller, however all of the principles and philosophies are the same when it comes to the on-ice product."
"The business operations and the front office responsibilities are all on a smaller scale compared to the big league teams, however the focus is the same and the OHL gives you a chance to develop your skills alongside the players," he says.
Starr is a great ambassador for the Sport Management program.
"Ryan was consistently engaged as a student in his learning. The skills he acquired at Brock University led him to a great job and the opportunity to work with the London Knights through their winning season has certainly provided him with valuable experience as he establishes himself in this role," says MA thesis supervisor Lucie Thibault.
Excited and humbled by his new position, Starr looks to continue building upon his start with the team.
"I owe my professional success to the professors and staff in the Department of Sport Management at Brock. My ability to secure employment so quickly after finishing my degree requirements is a testament to how incredible this program is," says Starr.

One comment on "SPMA alumnus Ryan Starr hired by London Knights Hockey Club"
I would have never thought it was possible to land a job with a SMPA degree. Way to defy the odds and show the rest of Brock that it IS possible to eventually become employed after graduating from SPMA!

Houstonia Magazines writer Dianna Wray featured Jordan Gomez in their article about the Hyperloop coming to Texas. Jordan was interviewed regarding his Loop 720 design for a hyperloop transit hub in the heart of downtown. The article brings up many of the advantages the hyperloop could bring to Texas, including resolving the growing traffic. Hopefully we will see a version of this come to reality.

Couple Shares Love of Juniata to Further College's Mission
Keith '75 and Elaine '76 Jones found love at Juniata, for each other, and for the College itself.
"It was love at first sight for me, but it took Elaine a little bit of time," Keith says, laughing as he described their initial meeting at a Christmas party on campus.
"Now nearly 45 years later, giving back to help others is a moral imperative for us. We've gotten so much from Juniata College as students and now as alumni. We believe the college has so much to give to future students and we wanted to be part of the equation to help ensure that Juniata can thrive to deliver on its mission," says Keith and Elaine.
Juniata was the right choice for Keith from the start. Despite his parents' encouragement to consider other schools, once on campus, Keith, originally from St. Louis, Missouri, and later New Jersey, was struck by how well the College fit his individual learning style. He rapidly found an academic path that resonated with his aptitude in the business and accounting programs.
Initially interested in Penn State, Elaine traveled from her central Pennsylvania home to Juniata, where a personalized approach made all the difference.
"The tour guide at Juniata sealed the deal!" Elaine says. "At Penn State, my parents and I were pretty much left on our own. My father liked Juniata because I received personalized attention and a good financial aid package that made it possible for me to attend."
Immersed in the sciences, she found herself pleasantly surprised by the rigorous academics and the close interaction students maintained with members of the faculty.
That close interaction with faculty would prove a pivotal influence in both of their lives. The late Doris Goehring, professor of speech and theatre, was a mentor to Elaine and, Robert Zimmerer, Charles A. Dana Supported Professor of Biology Emeritus, was her adviser and encouraged Elaine to consider graduate school – a key decision in her career path.
"My roommates were also very influential," says Elaine. "I was more introverted when I came to college, but ended up getting involved in a lot of activities at Juniata with their encouragement."
Keith's advisers were James Lakso, provost and professor of economics, and Doris Goehring as well. Keith felt that this combination of "right brain, left brain" perspectives fit his diverse interests and helped shape his career both at Juniata and beyond. Keith points out that the saying "It takes a village," rings true for him. Lakso, Charles "Bud" Wise III, former professor of accounting, and the late Ronald Cherry, professor of economics and business administration, guided Keith with their encouragement and sage advice. He found additional mentors through his extracurricular pursuits—Bill Berrier as his wrestling coach, Bruce Hersh as choir director, and Jack Troy in the pottery shop. All were pivotal in his success at Juniata.
Keith '75 and Elaine '76 Jones
"Of course, Elaine had a great impact on me, too," Keith acknowledges.
Their son, Christopher, followed their lead and attended Juniata, enticed by the academics and the opportunity to play volleyball with a nationally-ranked Division III team. Like his parents before him, he also found love at Juniata. His wife, Angela Montag Jones, shared his interests in politics and history, leading them both to become lawyers. She also played women's volleyball, further cementing their relationship in their love of this sport.
Knowing what the College has meant to them and to their son and daughter-in-law, Keith and Elaine wanted to share the opportunity of a Juniata education with others. First they established a scholarship fund supported by their annual giving. Then, as part of the BELIEVE campaign, Keith and Elaine made a significant gift to support undergraduate research through a planned estate gift.
"Education is a key component in changing a person's life. I received scholarships when I came to Juniata and I want to pay it forward," says Elaine. "My scientific education served as a strong basis for my career but I realized that the ability to conduct independent research as an undergraduate is a real differentiator. Keith and I feel strongly that enabling Juniata students to have research experience will position them for greater success after graduation."
While laboratory proficiency was core to Elaine's career, the research opportunities available through this scholarship are open to everyone on campus and are not limited to the sciences.
The Jones' service to the College is longstanding. Elaine has served on the Board of Trustees and Keith has served as a member of the Alumni Council. Both are currently co-chairs for the BELIEVE campaign, which is in the final year of the largest giving campaign in Juniata's history.
"Juniata changes lives. Giving provides an opportunity for other students to get a quality education like we did," Keith says. "And there are many different ways to support the College, regardless of your ability to give."
The Joneses credit Juniata with teaching them to be problem solvers, a quality which has served them well throughout their diverse career choices. Keith and Elaine share this perspective with potential donors, encouraging them to think about how their time at Juniata enabled them to think and prepare for the future. Planned giving is an easy way to leave your legacy at the College that can change the lives of many worthy students going forward.
The Case to Enhance Student Resources and Support
We believe in the inherent value of a Juniata education and its exceptional power, and that our plan to strengthen the ability to deliver on our mission is worthy of your support.

- Setubal -
What you need to know about Setubal
Setúbal is a city and municipality in Portugal. In the times of Al-Andalus the city was known as Sheṭūbar (Andalusian Arabic) In the 19th century, the port was called Saint Ubes in English and Saint-Yves in French. The municipal holiday is 15 September, which marks the date in the year 1860 on which King Pedro V of Portugal officially recognised Setúbal as a city.
Population: Estimate 125,102
Area: 230.33 km2
The city of Setúbal is located on the northern bank of the Sado River estuary, approximately 48 kilometres (30 miles) south of Portugal's capital, Lisbon. It is also the seat of the Setúbal District. In the beginning of the 20th century, Setúbal was the most important center of Portugal's fishing industry, particularly sardines. None of the many factories then created are operating today. However, the existing maritime ports, either traditional, commercial and the new marines, keep the city links to the ocean and water well alive and vibrant. Tourism, based on the beautiful existing natural conditions plus excellent hotels, resorts and infrastructures, is one of the city's most appreciated resources, due to its interconnection with the Sado (river)on one side and Atlantic Ocean on another, having a coast line with both. The city is also connected with the nearby coast of the Arrábida hills natural park – which offers an unspoiled nature and beautiful beaches to the Atlantic Ocean. A dolphin colony inhabits the Sado River. Across the river on the south bank lies the peninsula of Tróia, a place with vast white/golden sand beaches where several luxury hotels and resorts were recently built. The Tróia peninsula can be sighted from the city, across the river. Albarquel, Figueirinha, Galápos, Galapinhos and Portinho da Arrábida are some of the city's many beaches, located in the north bank of the estuary, at the very beginning of the Arrábida hills. The main historical monument of the city of Setúbal is the Monastery of Jesus, with a 15th- and 16th-century church that represents one of the first buildings in the Portuguese late Gothic style known as Manueline.
According to the census of 2011, the municipality of Setúbal had a labor force of 58,514 people, among whom 15.6% were unemployed. Among those who had a job, 1.6% were working in the Primary sector, 24.9% in the Secondary sector and 73.5% in the Tertiary sector. Setúbal is notable for the industries of pulp, paper, cement, fertilizers, pesticides, other phytopharmaceutical products, thermal power, shipbuilding and ship repair there was a lot of automobile assembling industry since the 1950s with several known manufacturers had or have opened assembly halls for the Portuguese market. Today there are only 3 tradenames nearby currently in production. The Port of Setúbal had a cargo throughput of 6.058 million tons in 2012, making it the 4th busiest port in Portugal, with 7.4% of the cargo throughput in the country.
Official Language Portugues
Lisbon/Portela
The ride from Lisbon airport to the center of Setubal costs around 60 Euros. Watch out for taxi ripp-offs. You can do a booking in advance thru National Taxi Dispatch Service (contacts on the website). This way you can assure you pay just the fair amount.
You can access Setúbal using the Fertagus train, departing from Lisbon's Roma–Areeiro, Entre campos, Sete Rios and Campolide railway stations every hour (off-peak hours) or every half hour (peak hours). The journey lasts around fifty minutes and ends at Setúbal central station.
It shouldn't be a problem to find your way, Setúbal is a major town in the area, so, if you are around, you will have signs to point out your way. Use the A12 or A2 motorways. It's 55 km away from Lisbon Airport.
There are buses that serve from Lisbon to Setúbal everyday and almost every hour a day, if you're in the capital it won't be a problem. There are also buses that serve the surrounding area towns.
The troia is a peninsula near Setúbal, and that is probably the only way to commercially reach Setúbal by boat. You can reach Setubal (from Troia) by ferryboat or catamaran.
