Luckily, for those of us here in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio, spring is here! And although that (hopefully) means warmer weather and more sunshine, it also means that allergy season may be around the corner for some of us.
So how can you tell the difference between allergies and the common cold?
First, it's important to keep in mind that the common cold is a virus that is spread from person to person. However, allergies are not spread from person to person; instead, allergies are triggered by something in your environment (an "allergen") such as dust, pollen, or pet dander.
Seasonal allergies are most common in the warmer months, during spring, summer, or early fall. Seasonal allergies are typically triggered by mold spores or pollen from trees, weeds, or grass. For those with year-round allergies, symptoms are typically triggered by indoor allergens such as pet dander, dust mites, or mold.
There are many over-the-counter products that you can use to help with allergy symptoms. Let's take a look at some of the common allergy medications that you can find at the pharmacy.
Intranasal decongestants are effective in providing short-term relief of nasal congestion; however, these medications do not have much of an effect on itching, sneezing, or runny nose. You should only use these medications for 2 to 3 days – otherwise, it can result in rebound congestion, which typically occurs after 5 to 10 days of treatment.
Artificial tears help to relieve dry, irritated eyes. In addition, artificial tears can also help to wash the irritant (allergen) from your eyes.
Relieves itchy eyes due to pollen, grass, ragweed, animal hair & dander. Provides up to 12 hours of itch relief.
Relieves redness of the eye. Do not use these eye drops for more than 3 days.
Relieves itchy, red eyes due to pollen, grass, ragweed, animal hair & dander. Do not use these eye drops for more than 3 days.
Are there other ways to prevent allergy symptoms?
Yes, you can help manage your allergy symptoms by recognizing and avoiding exposure to allergens.
It is always important to visit your doctor for a diagnosis. Keep in mind, it is possible that you could be suffering from seasonal allergies and an infection at the same time.
Do not start any over-the-counter medications without consulting your doctor or pharmacist first. There are certain medications that are not appropriate for all patients, especially those with high blood pressure, heart disease, prostate issues, glaucoma, diabetes, or pregnant or breastfeeding women.
If you have questions on a particular over-the-counter allergy medication, don't hesitate to ask your pharmacist. There are many options that can help to alleviate your allergy symptoms.

When we think of the primary relationships in our lives, most of us include our romantic partner, our children, our families, and our friends. These relationships are certainly important to us. They provide the strongest emotional and spiritual connections in our lives. But if we define our primary relationships as the relationships where we invest the greatest amount of our time and attention, then for most of us, our primary relationships are our professional relationships—our relationships at work. We usually spend at least 40 hours a week at work, and many of us spend more time than that. The majority of our waking hours, in fact, is often spent in our professional relationships. When our professional relationships are not meeting our needs, this creates challenges in our personal relationships as well.

My husband and I have been working on converting our guest bedroom into a photography studio/work space for me. I've always been drawn to industrial-looking furniture, so building a workbench out of butcher block and piping seemed like the perfect idea for this space. Since I use my chalkboard wall as a backdrop for a lot of my photography, it was important to me that this heavy-duty desk be on casters, so that I could easily move it out of the way when I needed to.
When I purchased my ¾-in. black piping at The Home Depot, the associates were kind enough to cut and thread all my pieces of piping for free!
The "thinking and planning" phase of this project was much more complex than actually putting the table together, which went really fast!
First we built the "I" section of the table by screwing two of the tees to the end of our 48-in. pipe.
Next, we attached the 9-in. pipes to either side of the tees.
Finally, we added a tee to the other end of each 9-in. pipe.
The 6 in. pipes, which were only threaded on one side, were added under the "I", and the 22½ in. pipes were added to the top.
We screwed the four flanges to the top of each 22½ in. pipe.
Next, we were ready to screw the butcher block top to the base of the table! We drilled pilot holes first, then drilled the wood screws in. We used wood screws and a cordless drill to do this!
Alright, now let's talk about how we got casters on the bottom of each 6 in. pipe. This required some extra brain power and problem-solving by my dad.
We ended up cutting 1½ in. pieces off of a ¾" wooden dowel rod, then drilled a hole in each piece. I was then able to screw the casters into each piece of dowel rod, and top with a nut.
At first, the dowel rod didn't want to fit into the pipe (this happened because of the way the pipe was cut), so we used a file to file down the inside of each pipe until each dowel rod caster could be pushed in. It worked out perfectly!
And that's how to build a workbench.
I am thrilled with the way this workbench looks and functions in this space! I have a feeling I'll never get tired of working on crafts or my photography projects at this workbench!

Expansion of the Pecci Museum in Prato. Natural light and a return to the future - RenovationOnWeb
Expansion of the Pecci Museum in Prato. Natural light and a return to the future
The Dutch architect Maurice Nio designs the expansion of the Pecci Museum, "embracing" the original work. The Polo Bernardo D'Ippolito Light Designer makes Nio's vision concrete by filtering natural light from above
#Building extension

#Architectures
R. Fabio Sciacca
The exhibition area of the Pecci Museum has been expanded to become an international museum, thanks to a project by the Dutch architect Maurice Nio, which was then realized by the Kino Workshop Studio of Bernardo D'Ippolito Light Designer, who understood the museum's vision. The new exhibition pavilion embraces the existing one, the work of Italo Gamberini
The natural light enhances the shape by creating games of shadows and depth and showing the objects exposed with their true colors, which is why the works in the past were exposed outdoors. The designer therefore aims to create a natural light, a contemporary return to the future, something that would not have been possible with only traditional skylights, which instead of lighting, create stains of light and visual disturbance. This play of light was possible thanks to the use of the system patented by Infinity Motion
The designers succeeded in doing this by filtering light from above, pure light, through a Solatube® system, obtaining a diffused natural light that does not alter the chromatic spectrum. The tonality of the pure white, which dominates the interiors, thus transforms the space into a crystalline environment, preparing the space to welcome and embrace the works, as if it was suspended in this modern and contemporary space
To achieve this effect, the 78 Solatube DS 290 (350mm duct diameter) was used, making it possible for the space to be illuminated uniformly. The use of Solatube® ensures a UV-free light and blocks infrared rays, which could partially damage the artworks on display
The color is not altered, maintaining the spectrum of natural light and all this control of safeguards of the works is made even safer thanks to an Infinity Motion home automation system, which allows you to integrate the two lighting systems, both the natural and artificial
The whole project was born from the desire to find a purer light, and pursuing this goal has given the two designers the opportunity to challenge each other and complement their professionalism, all made possible by new technologies in terms of lighting and welfare

I have to confess, I'm not the biggest Oasis fan. I like their first two albums Definitely Maybe and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? for what they are, but I've always found Oasis the least inspired of the Britpop big four. Despite this, I do enjoy Noel Gallagher's solo work under the High Flying Birds moniker. Since leaving Oasis, the eldest Gallagher's approach to songwriting has matured into something quite agreeable. Unfortunately, the music itself hasn't developed far beyond Gallagher typical '60s tinged alt-rock. A potentially radical space rock project with experimental electronica duo Amorphous Androgynous was in development, but only three songs from it saw the light of day. Instead, it looked like Gallagher was staying in his conservative comfort zone. That is until he released Who Built the Moon?
Now, despite what some overreactive YouTube commenters might have you think, Noel Gallagher's third High Flying Birds album isn't his Metal Machine Music. If you've listened to anything Blur released since 1997 you will have already heard more experimental music from a former Britpop outfit. Noel himself has described the album as just him in "more colourful clothes", which is pretty accurate. The melodies and chords are very familiar and the lyrics are still Noel's trademark mix of love, hope and hollow metaphors. However, it's all given a lively new paint job, thanks to David Holmes' creative production, the happiest lyrics of Noel's career and a healthy appreciation of glam, psych and dance rock. By Noel's standards (and especially compared to brother Liam's dull solo album As You Were) it's a refreshing change of pace.
Much of the album's sound recalls Oasis' more interesting contemporaries. Fort Knox kicks things off in much the same way F***in' in the Bushes opened Oasis' own 2000 album Standing on the Shoulders of Giants. However, the processed drum beat and repetitive lyrics also evoke Kill All Hippies, the epic opener to Primal Scream's XTRMNTR from the same year. Keep on Reaching incorporates a gospel sound that echoes Blur's Tender or Spiritualized's Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, although it's upbeat tone is most similar to Primal Scream's Movin' On Up. She Taught Me How to Fly features an energetic disco beat and New Order-esque guitars, although they could do with being higher in the mix. Most fascinating are the intense, cascading strings on The Man Who Built the Moon, reminiscent of Radiohead's outstanding (and criminally rejected) theme for the 2015 James Bond film Spectre.
Some influences hail from further back in time. Holy Mountain is a riotous glam rock romp bolstered by an obscure earworm of a whistle sample from 1968. Be Careful What You Wish For's bassline couldn't sound more like The Beatles' Come Together without risking a lawsuit, but the bluesy vocals and psychedelic guitar solo ensure it's different enough. Black & White Sunshine is a rather generic imitation of Byrds-y jangle pop. It benefits from a rawer post-chorus and trippy strings, but overall it's the least substantial track here. However, the joyously loose If Love is the Law revives the album with a euphoric harmonica solo from Johnny Marr. The two instrumentals bearing the Wednesday subtitle Interlude and End Credits pleasantly break things up with lush, ethereal psychedelia. However, the album's most out-there moment is easily It's a Beautiful World's apocalyptic French spoken word middle eight.
The digital version of Who Built the Moon? features a bonus track called Dead in the Water. It's gorgeously written and performed, but its arrangement is incredibly sparse. In fact, it perfectly contrasts Gallagher's typical, restrained style with the more ambitious ideas he attempts on the rest of the album. As I said before, nothing here is particularly innovative, even compared to other artists from the Britpop era. However, it's exciting to hear Noel Gallagher's take on something different and – for the most part – Who Built the Moon? delivers.
The Breakdown | Album Review: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds – Who Built the Moon?
Whilst Noel Gallagher's third studio album Who Built the Moon? isn't the grand avant-garde experiment some have made it out to be, it's a welcome departure from an artist typically too content in his comfort zone.
Yeah, that period was a fantastic one for music, especially in Britain. Even aside from Britpop, there was amazing stuff from more experimental bands like Spiritualized, Radiohead and Primal Scream. The electronic music from Britain during that time was also excellent, although you'd have to ask my brother about that as he's the real expert.
The Britpop 'Big Four' are typically Oasis, Blur, Pulp and Suede from what I've read. Of course, you could also squeeze in bands like Supergrass or The Verve in there as well. Kula Shaker were pretty great as well, if a little more psychedelic than the bigger bands and The Stone Roses would've definitely made it into a Britpop 'Big Five' had they made more than two albums.
Agreed, Primal Scream were brilliant and the XTRMNTR album you namechecked is really good, although for me and I'm betting most others my age, their best would have to be Screamadelica. I saw Spiritualized live in Notts in the noughties and they were just as brilliant as they ever were. Feel free to invite your brother to comment if he wants to, I'm a big fan of the electronic music from that period like Orbital and the Chemical Brothers, plus more cult acts such as Aphex Twin.
Yes I had thought it would be Blur, Oasis, and Pulp. Suede kicked the whole thing off and they were always my favourites. Kula Shaker were ace, much more psychedelic and recalling bands like The Grateful Dead and George Harrison in their work.
I'd describe Stone Roses' debut as proto-Britpop (if that's a thing) and if they'd consistently continued down that direction rather than disappeared for ages before doing a completely different thing on Second Coming I think they would've made it big as a Britpop band. Certainly the jangly '60s guitar pop was a significant influence for most of Britpop.
Both Screamadelica and XTRMNTR are fantastic albums, but the former is definitely superior both in terms of its music and its impact. Their most recent album Chaosmosis isn't half bad, and their 2013 album More Light is honestly up there with Screamadelica and XTRMNTR for me. They kind of have a tendency to make one excellent album every two or three releases, in between some okay ones, but when they're good, they're really good.
Spiritualized are outstanding, and Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating in Space is one of my favourite albums of all time. That mix of beautiful, gospel influenced songs like the title track and Cool Waves along with lengthy Pink Floyd-esque space rock like Cop Shoot Cop… is just sublime.
You are absolutely right! I was going to add that the original Stone Roses material was much more 'Britpop' in influence than the Second Coming. Proto-Britpop is a great description and really in keeping with that idea. I just didn't want to labour my point, originally.
I actually had a teacher who was writing a review of Screamadelica in Leicester last year – I'll email her and tell her to finish it and post it on here if poss. I agree with you totally. I haven't listened to their recent material but I will check More Light out and let you know my thoughts.
Yes, "Ladies and Gentlemen…" from Spiritualized is outstanding, a truly legendary album. Jason Pierce is so brilliant live, we've got magical images of them performing too. I'm going to give that whole album a listen now. Thanks for reminding me of their brilliance! They were meant to release a new album this year but it hasn't happened yet. Hopefully soon.

The Pit: Infinity Preview
Date: December 14, 2019Author: hellfirebam 0 Comments
In some ways, today's review is reminiscent of the transition from Metroid to Metroid Prime, the game transitioned from 2D to FPS, while maintaining many level design and atmospheric choices. Therefore, I'm going to hold this game to those same standards, and in that case, it compares… kidding kidding. In all seriousness, The Pit: Infinity adapts its original top-down, turn-based RPG beautifully into a survival, FPS, rogue-lite, RPG. What a mouthful. The Pit: Infinity is a challenging gauntlet of trials as you dig deeper down into the pit, which tests your ability to scavenge food, weapons, and treatment. The enemies only become stronger, and while you can quickly run through the floors without completion, doing so risks being unprepared for what lies ahead. At the same time, an inability to manage ammo, hunger, and time is highly detrimental to your run, so be cautious! It takes a little while to learn the game, as you will have to do a bit of reading to learn some of its intricacies. It's a game that won't hold your hand, and intends you to learn from several failed runs, learning recipes and enemy stats as you go. By the looks of it, this is a game that will get several updates over the next year(s), so I expect content to only become more expansive with new characters and weapons.
The Pit: Infinity is very minimalist when it comes to story, exploring an alien facility (please refrain from Area 51 jokes) for advanced technology and scientific wonders. Despite the fact that there are RPG elements, there is very little characterization or customization beyond optimizing level-up skill points. This upgrade system is pretty robust nonetheless, it evokes old-school tabletop RPGs. You have certain percentage chance to perform a variety of actions throughout the pit, and must level up stats such as foraging, medical expertise, and weapon expertise to increase your combat and scavenging prowess.
In terms of shooters, the camera and controls are pretty standard. There is an accuracy multiplier on shots that must always be accounted for, as well as damage calculations against certain enemy types. Durability is also a factor, as your weapons will dull in efficacy, and eventually break entirely if ignored. There is a crafting system that becomes more and more accessible as you complete more runs. This system was streamlined from the previous The Pit game, with ingredients being generalized into fewer subgroups. It's fun exploring the facility and finding new machines to operate that provide areas to use what you've found on your expedition to better use in terms of your survival. There are times where the claustrophobic design of rooms and corridors can lead to an instant loss if you are not prepared enough and don't have the room to outmaneuver a flurry of attacks. Fortunately, while you will lose progress, runs in this game are not very time-intensive, and it's rare to get placed into particularly perilous situations more than periodically.
There's not much more to be said about the game barring spoilers or secrets. I think The Pit: Infinity shows a lot of promise, and is an intriguing adaptation of the original IP. As a fan of the original game, it's really cool seeing 3D renderings of the characters, and understanding how they attack/move gives a new appreciation for the original designs. I hope characters like the psionic will be put into the game soon, as that playstyle was always very fun to manage in the original game. I have yet to conquer the higher difficulties, so I still have a long ways to go. Funny enough, there was a clipping bug early on in my first run that left me immobile and helpless to several enemies. I was given the "haha you suck because a 10 year old can get to the 3rd floor first try and you can't" achievement, which felt like salt in the wound, but I just view now as a funny anecdote. I'm eager to see what other interactions or secrets I might find in future runs; might be more laughs and excitement in store.

Our increasingly interconnected world where information is constantly exchanged poses significant challenges to the social sciences. Of crucial importance is the detection and observation of how political opinions evolve so as to gain an empirical understanding of societal issues and processes. Within this research direction, the mathematical modelling of opinion dynamics in political spaces is particularly active. Up to now, mathematical models have mostly focused on single issues, neglecting any interdependency between different issues and topics. However, we know that policymakers and electors tend to discuss different political questions at the same time and the topics are not completely independent.
In the recent preprint "An Argument Communication Model of Polarization and Ideological Alignment", MPI researchers Sven Banisch and Eckehard Olbrich have developed a novel mathematical model of opinion formation. This research is the first to addresses inter-issue dependencies in an explicit way and as such has the potential of shedding light on the impact of cultural differences on argument exchange processes.
The model is based on very natural assumptions: the actors are living in a political space where they have the opportunity to exchange their beliefs on different issues. Different sets of facts and arguments are associated with different issues and used to support or refute an argument. Furthermore, the authors assume that actors tend to interact more with like-minded people, which leads to the reinforcement of group opinions.
Technically speaking, the model takes into account a collection of issues and an ensemble of arguments, which can be either in favor of or against a certain issue. To describe this collection in mathematically sound terms, the researchers make the use of a bipartite graph which encodes issues and arguments, while the argument exchange mechanism is implemented using a linear algebraic model. The tendency of actors to interact more with like-minded people is assumed and realized by prescribing a bound on the distance of opinions. This allows establishing whether an actual discussion between the authors will happen or not, based on how distance the two actors' opinions concerning a certain issue are. The mathematical approach is put to test on toy-models based on a series of pro- and con-arguments.
With the aid of computer simulations, the authors have studied how the evolution of opinions over time is influenced by initial conditions, by interdependence between issues, and by the actors' willingness to discuss with people with different views.
While still preliminary and rather simplified, the model developed in the article offers some mathematically sound interpretation of observed polarization phenomena and is a first step towards a rigorous mathematical description of more intricate argument exchange process.

Other than some Christmas hymns, this is possibly the most widely recognized hymn of the last 150 years. The text is adapted from the book of Revelation.
This arrangement starts with the first stanza sung in unison, which is intended to emulate the style of plainsong chant, then repeats the first stanza in three parts a capella. Many groups will be able to sing this long without significant pitch drift, and some others might find it difficult. If pitch drift is a problem, either the acapella unison or a capella parts stanza could be omitted.
The second stanza is accompanied by a flowing arpeggiated accompaniment. The third stanza is a variation on Dykes' tune set in minor key complemented by a somber accompaniment. It soon resolves into a stately final stanza with a moving bass line in the accompaniment.
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, an arrangement of a hymn by John B. Dykes with lyric by Reginal Heber, arranged by Tom Kirkland for TTB with piano accompaniment, comes in a pdf file of 416K, with a ten-page score and a license page, eleven pages in all. Performance time should be approximately 4:20.

Official Trailer for Indie Film 'Bardo Blues' Follows a Man in Thailand
"She's only going to take you further into hell!" Freestyle DM has released an official US trailer for an indie drama titled Bardo Blues, which first premiered at festivals back in 2017 and is just now getting a VOD release. Bardo Blues is directed by actress / producer Marcia Kimpton, who also co-stars in the film, co-wrote the screenplay, and produced it (and did all her own makeup - according to Trivia on IMDb). The story follows a mentally ill young man attempting to come to grips with his haunting past (about the mother that abandoned him) by seeking solace and understanding in the unfamiliar Eastern culture of Thailand. It weaves "spiritual awakenings and soulful struggles", and stars Stephen McClintic, Gina Haining, Brian Gross, Natalie Denise Sperl, Tilt Tyree, and Micah Kaneko, plus Kimpton. This does not look good.
Here's the official US trailer (+ poster) for Kimpton & Haining & McAleece's Bardo Blues, from YouTube:
Set in Thailand, Bardo Blues follows Jack (Stephen McClintic) as he struggles to learn the truth about the mother that abandoned him and his own reason for existing. Weaving spiritual awakenings and soulful struggles, Bardo Blues will leave you questioning everything you think you know about who you are, where you came from and where you are going. Bardo Blues is directed by filmmaker / actress Marcia Kimpton (making her feature directorial debut, which she already followed up with My Reality), and co-directed by Mark Haining (his first feature) & Justin McAleece (a cinematographer & camera operator, director of Sinister Heaven previously). The screenplay is written by Marcia Kimpton and Anthony Taylor. This initially premiered at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival in 2017. Freestyle DM will release Kimpton & Haining & McAleece's Bardo Blues direct-to-VOD starting May 3rd, 2019 coming up. Anyone?

Foreign Policy Steals the Spotlight in Campaign
Kristin Vargas
As the election inches closer, the constant stream of issues being debated seems to cycle through the same topics: healthcare, tax cuts, the economy, the list goes on. Notably absent from this list is foreign policy, a topic that neither party in the campaign has any desire to call much attention to, especially with regards to the situation in the Middle East. President Obama's Administration has received criticism from Republicans for being too accommodating of antagonistic actors in the Middle East while GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney has been accused of avoidance in addressing the situation all together (NY Times).
Foreign policy was quite suddenly thrust to the forefront of media attention when news broke that the United States consulate in Benghazi, Libya had been attacked and set on fire by a mob Tuesday night, killing Ambassador Chris Stevens, as well as a diplomat and two State Department security officers (CNN).
This tragic event calls attention to the increasing instability in the Middle East, exemplifying a foreign policy issue that our country must address. But does the sensitive nature of the event mean it is an inappropriate campaign issue? Or does the gravity of the situation render it an important test of candidates' foreign policy capabilities?
This is the question that voters must consider as they interpret the manner in which each candidate responded to the issue. The situation quickly turned from tragic event to politicized election issue as GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney criticized the Obama Administration's response to the turbulent situation in Libya late Tuesday night.
"It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks," he stated (NY Times).
Almost immediately after releasing the statement, Romney began to receive backlash for his criticism. The media exploded with unmasked outrage from Democrats, stating that Romney twisted what was simply first seen as a tragedy into an opportunity to seize the political stage in foreign policy (NY Times).
Regardless of whether or not it is appropriate, the media blowout over this issue has effectively made it into a campaign topic, leading voters to consider President Obama's handing of affairs in the Middle East versus Romney's conduct in responding to the course of action taken on these affairs.
There is definite legitimacy to the claim that Romney's response was inappropriate. It can be argued that his statement was released was much too quickly and was brashly constructed. Furthermore, in light of the fact that American lives were lost, the comments can be viewed as simply in poor taste.
However, the opposing standpoint boasts a solid foundation as well since the situation in the Middle East is an important one. The Obama Administration needs to take full accountability for their actions and must come to terms with the fact that the current international state of affairs is one that can only be avoided for so long. Perhaps it would have reflected poorly on Romney not to take the opportunity to prove himself on an international stage, showing that he could, in fact, react and respond to this type of fast-paced development.
Regardless of who was in the wrong in this situation, the tragedy has become yet another test to the opponents in the upcoming presidential race to prove to voters that they should be leading the country. Now that their conduct has been displayed on a world stage, it is up to voters to choose whose method will prevail.

Sticks and Stones by Emily Bazelon, a Towne Book Center Bookclub Pick
This month, our book club discussed Sticks and Stones by Emily Bazelon. Bazelon is a journalist for Slate and brought that keen perspective to the study of bullying in teens.
Being a teenager has never been easy, but in recent years, with the rise of the Internet and social media, it has become exponentially more challenging. Bullying, once thought of as the province of queen bees and goons, has taken on new, complex, and insidious forms, as parents and educators know all too well.
No writer is better poised to explore this territory than Emily Bazelon, who has established herself as a leading voice on the social and legal aspects of teenage drama. In Sticks and Stones, she brings readers on a deeply researched, clear-eyed journey into the ever-shifting landscape of teenage meanness and its sometimes devastating consequences. The result is an indispensable book that takes us from school cafeterias to courtrooms to the offices of Facebook, the website where so much teenage life, good and bad, now unfolds.
Along the way, Bazelon defines what bullying is and, just as important, what it is not. She explores when intervention is essential and when kids should be given the freedom to fend for themselves. She also dispels persistent myths: that girls bully more than boys, that online and in-person bullying are entirely distinct, that bullying is a common cause of suicide, and that harsh criminal penalties are an effective deterrent. Above all, she believes that to deal with the problem, we must first understand it.
Blending keen journalistic and narrative skills, Bazelon explores different facets of bullying through the stories of three young people who found themselves caught in the thick of it. Thirteen-year-old Monique endured months of harassment and exclusion before her mother finally pulled her out of school. Jacob was threatened and physically attacked over his sexuality in eighth grade—and then sued to protect himself and change the culture of his school. Flannery was one of six teens who faced criminal charges after a fellow student's suicide was blamed on bullying and made international headlines. With grace and authority, Bazelon chronicles how these kids' predicaments escalated, to no one's benefit, into community-wide wars. Cutting through the noise, misinformation, and sensationalism, she takes us into schools that have succeeded in reducing bullying and examines their successful strategies. The result is a groundbreaking book that will help parents, educators, and teens themselves better understand what kids are going through today and what can be done to help them through it.
As a reader of YA literature, I found Bazelon's results pretty spot on: teen reads frequently include bullying often to dramatic and fatal ends. This is clearly one example of art imitating life. Fortunately there are schools and organizations intent on helping victims and bullies cope. Bazelon's reports on interesting research of the hows and whys of bullying which may or may not surprise you. Our book club decided that this book should be read by every student interested in becoming a teacher. There is no easy answer on how to treat bullying.

The post Airbus A350-1000 Maiden Flight appeared first on Plain Aviation.
The A350-1000 is the second variant of the Airbus A350XWB family. The first variant, the A350-900, completed its test flight in 2014 and is now in commercial service with Qatar Airways, Finnair, Vietnam Airlines, Singapore Airlines, LATAM, China Airlines, Cathay Pacific. The new A350-1000 has an ICAO designation of A35K and is a stretched version of the A350-900 designed to carry around 366 passengers. It is powered by two Rolls Royce Trent XWB-97 each capable of 97,100 lbs of thrust. On the other hand, the A350-900 is powered by the Trent XWB-84 and has been derated to 84,200 lbs of thrust. The A350-1000 has a range of 14,800km ( or 7,990 nautical miles), which is just short of the A359's range of 15,000km (or 8,100 nautical miles).
The A350-1000 is designed to compete with the Boeing 777-300ER/777X and the 787-9. So far there have been 195 orders for the type, and deliveries are expected to begin in the second half of 2017. Major customers for the A350-1000 include United Airlines, Qatar Airways, Cathxay Pacific, British Airways, LATAM, JAL, Etihad, and Asiana.
The post Cathay Pacific Flight Makes Emergency Landing in Russia appeared first on Plain Aviation.
Cathay Pacific Flight CX250 from London Heathrow to Hong Kong was forced to make an emergency landing in Novosibirsk, Russia after the crew received warning of a fire in the aft cargo hold 6 hours into the flight. The aircraft was a Boeing 777-300ER, registration unknown. The crew made a safe landing at Novosibirsk Tolmachevo Airport with 214 passengers and 18 crew on board. The flight took off from London at 6:02pm local time (GMT) and landed in Novosibirsk at 7:20am local time (GMT+7). There was no fire detected in the cargo compartment after landing. The passengers of the flight were accommodated in hotels for the night and a replacement aircraft has been dispatched to shuttle them to Hong Kong.
In July of last year, another Cathay Pacific Boeing 777-300ER operating flight CX884 from Hong Kong to Los Angeles made an emergency landing in Anchorage, Alaska after a malfunctioning cooling fan triggered a smoke warning in the cockpit. None of the 276 passengers or 18 crew were hurt. In April of this year, flight CX256 also from London to Hong Kong (and also operated by a 777-300ER) made a landing in Almaty, Kazakhstan after a four-month-old baby girl fell unconscious mid-flight. She was declared dead on the ground, and the flight continued to Hong Kong. Finally, in August of this year, Cathay flight CX382 from Zurich to Hong Kong was intercepted over Hungary after the pilots failed to make contact with air traffic controllers on the ground.
The post Why Airlines are Cramming More Seats onto Airplanes appeared first on Plain Aviation.
In the past month or two, Cathay Pacific and British Airways both announced plans to shift from a 9-abreast to a 10-abreast Economy class seating layout on their Boeing 777 fleet. Essentially this means that there will now be 10 seats per row in Economy class and opposed to 9, which allows the airline to cram more passengers into the same aircraft than before. Cathay Pacific and British Airways will be joining Emirates, China Airlines, Air France, American Airlines, and Air Canada among others, all of which operate 10-abreast seating configurations on the 777. This leaves competitor Singapore Airlines as one of the last airlines operating a 9-abreast configuration.
Now it may not be surprising that airlines would want to pull a move like this, but the airline industry hasn't always been this way. In recent years, there has been a shift in the airline industry due to the rise of low cost carriers (LCC's) like Ryanair, JetBlue, Easyjet, AirAsia, and Jetstar to name a few. LCC's are unique because unlike traditional airlines, they will do whatever possible to lower fares for travellers. That includes charging for meals, charging for baggage, cramming seats, using jetstairs instead of gates, deliberately choosing later (and cheaper) departure times, and flying to smaller airports (think London Stansted versus Heathrow). Though they are very lacking in services, LCC's are very popular due to their low fares. For example, a round-trip flight from Hong Kong to Tokyo Narita would cost around 250USD on an LCC and around 500USD on a standard airline. The price competitiveness of LCC's puts a lot of pressure on standard airlines, as many passengers wouldn't pay double the price just to experience the comforts of flying with a standard airline. Thus, most airlines are now shifting towards the LCC strategy by decreasing comfort in exchange for lower prices. While future passengers flying on Cathay Pacific and British Airways 777's may feel a tighter squeeze, they will be able to enjoy the perks of lower airfares.

The post EVA Air's Sketchy Operations During Typhoon Megi appeared first on Plain Aviation.
EVA Air A321 seen here departing Hong Kong International. EVA operates 9 flights daily into Hong Kong from Taipei Taoyuan International.
As a result of EVA Air's risky operations during Typhoon Megi, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Taiwan announced that they would be launching a probe into EVA's dispatch procedures, fuel planning, safety regulations, and alternate airport planning. The fact that the probe was announced publicly means that it's a big deal for EVA, as such things usually have a pretty big impact on airlines. Though EVA Air was not in violation of any law, they were operating well outside the norm and took unnecessary risks that put passenger safety in danger. I don't think the probe will uncover anything major, and I see it ending with nothing more than a letter warning to EVA's management.
The post How the DC-10's Faulty Cargo Door Design Killed 346 appeared first on Plain Aviation.
Last night, as per my typical Friday night chill-out routine, I watched an episode of the popular television series Air Crash Investigation. Yes I know this is not really what normal people do with their Friday nights, but who said avgeeks are normal people. This week's episode centered on Turkish Airlines Flight 981 and American Airlines Flight 96, both of which were operated by the McDonnell Douglas DC-10.
At the time of the incidents (which were only 2 years apart), the DC-10 was McDonnell Douglas' state-of-the-art widebody airliner and a pretty big gamble. They had sunk a lot of money into the airliner and really depended on its success. Unfortunately, it turns out that the DC-10 had a fatal flaw in the design of its cargo door that was first seen American Airlines Flight 96 and later on Turkish Airlines Flight 981. This ultimately led to the deaths of 346 passengers and crew on the Turkish Airlines flight, and also crippled the safety record of the aircraft.
Most aircraft doors (including cargo doors) are designed to open inward. This ensures a better seal as the door would be pressed into the aircraft frame when the aircraft cabin is pressurized at high altitudes. The DC-10's cargo door, on the other hand, was designed to open outward in order to increase the amount of space in the baggage compartment. The only problem with this design is that the door would be under a lot stress while the aircraft is in flight as cabin pressure would constantly be pushing on the door and trying to force it open. To compensate, McDonnell Douglas opted to add a few extra clamps to strengthen the locking mechanism. The design of the locking mechanism also made it so that it could easily be improperly secured without the knowledge of the baggage handler or the flight crew.
The issue first appeared onboard the American Airlines flight, which was climbing out of Detroit Airport when the cargo door blew off the airplane and created a gaping hole at the back of the cabin. In the process, the debris also ruptured hydraulic lines and thus jammed the rudder to the right and hindered most of the control surfaces. Captain McCormick still managed to get the aircraft back to the airport for a landing. There were no fatalities. Not even Sully and his Hudson stunt could match the amazing flying by Captain McCormick on that day.
And so the NTSB did what they do best and found that the cargo door locking error was what had caused the incident. As they don't have much authority, all they could do was advise airlines to remind baggage handlers to make sure that they secure the cargo doors on the DC-10 properly. Two years later, Turkish Airlines Flight 981 went down in northern France, killing all 346 on board. The NTSB came and did their thing again, only to find that this crash was also caused by the cargo door issue that affected American Airlines Flight 96. This time around however, the explosive force of the failed cargo door ruptured all hydraulics lines. Thus, the pilots had no control of the airplane and couldn't recover from the dive that sent the aircraft plummeting towards the ground. It was only after this incident that the FAA grounded the DC-10 until major improvements were made. It was soon discovered that McDonnell Douglas knew about the cargo door issue in the development phases of the aircraft, and chose not to address the issue. They were soon flooded with lawsuits from the families of passengers killed by the crash, and ended up paying millions in compensation. All this could've been prevented if McDonnell Douglas had simply spent the money to fix the DC-10's cargo door.
The post 5D Mark IV – Real World Experience appeared first on Plain Aviation.
As you may know, the new 5D Mark IV is a fair bit lighter than the Mark III. Though the Mark III is only 50 grams heavier, you'll really start to feel the difference after a couple of hours. The Mark IV has more plastic in its construction, but this is not necessarily a bad thing as it feels just as solid as the Mark III. While good aesthetics are a nice feature, the real test is the image quality of this new camera. The two main advantages it has over other popular planespotter cameras such as the 70D or 7D Mark II are its full frame sensor and improved dynamic range. This means that it can take full advantage of the EF telephoto lens that I've paired with it. The 5D Mark IV's new and improved autofocus system means that it can track moving subjects better than the 5D Mark III and the 6D. On paper the Mark IV sounds like a great camera for planespotting, so I'm excited to truly put it to the test.
The post Air China Magazine Scandal – Why I'm Not Surprised appeared first on Plain Aviation.
Normally quite a low-key airline, Air China has been receiving a lot of heat this past week for a racist article published in its inflight magazine. A travel tip at the bottom of the cover story on the city of London warns passengers that "precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and black people". The racist magazine excerpt was first discovered by a CNBC journalist who posted it online and caused quite a ruckus. Virenda Sharma, a member of parliament, actually felt very offended by the article and wrote to the Chinese ambassador demanding an apology. Doubt he's going to get a response.
Now the big question being asked here is "Which muppet in Air China's editorial staff decided it would be acceptable to publish such a racist remark?" The reality is, the answer to that is not as elusive as it may seem. China differs from the west in that it has a very small minority population. The vast majority of China's population is comprised of a single ethnicity, with the exception of a few African immigrant communities in Guangzhou and the various Uyghur communities spread out across the country. Thus, political correctness is virtually non-existent in China. Most people lack interaction with those outside of their own ethnicity group, and therefore are oblivious to the idea of political correctness and the social issues that the west is currently facing. In China, stereotypes like the one seen in the article aren't necessarily considered to be bad or racist mainly as there's no one to speak up and tell people that they are. This is why I'm not at all surprised by this little slip or scandal, whatever you'd like to call it. Until China is caught up to speed in the world of social justice, I'm also expecting some repeat offences.
