Driver Profile: Camille Jenatzy- "The Red Devil" and His Tragic Death
A Belgian race car diver, Janatzy broke the land speed record three times and was the first man to break the 100 km/hr barrier. He was nicknamed Le Diabo Rouge ("The Red Devil") for his color of his beard.

Camille Jenatzy (1865 - 1913)
He Had 9 Lives, But A Practical Joke Proved Fatal
CAMILLE JENATZY, BORN IN 1865, was a Belgian civil engineer turned motor manufacturer who made his competition debut in 1898 at the controls of one of his own electric vehicles, in the Chanteloup hill-climb organised by La Prance Automobile.
Although heavy rain had affected the road surface, Jenatzy made the fastest time of the day, covering the 1800-metre course at an average speed of 17 mph. Three weeks after this, on 18th December, La Prance Automobile held a second speed trial, this time over a standing-start, two-kilometre course on a deserted stretch of level road at Acheres, to the west of Paris.
Jenatzy could not take part, and the event was won by the Count Gaston de Chasseloup-Laubat driving an electric car built by Jeantaud, Jenatzy's manufacturing rival. The following day, Jenatzy wrote to Chasseloup-Laubat challenging him to a duel of speed, to be held within the month.
So, on the 17th January 1899, the two men met at Acheres. Jenatzy recorded a speed of 41.4 mph, but Chasseloup-Laubat clocked 43.7 mph, despite having the motor of his car burn out 200 yards from the finish. Ten days later, there was a return match. This time, Jenatzy reached 50mph over the flying kilometre, but Chasseloup-Laubat's motor burned out before he had even started. So his run was postponed until 4 March, when the Jeantaud achieved 57.6 mph.
The Jamais Contente
This was a phenomenal speed for the period, all the more remarkable for the fact that Chasseloup-Laubat's car was a standard touring vehicle fitted with a special body. Not in the least discouraged, Jenatzy set about building a new car with the express purpose of regaining the speed record. This was the famous Jamais Contente, a wonderful metal torpedo on wheels which was the first real purpose built racing car ever.
Its bullet-shaped body was made by Rheims & Auscher and was of partinium, a primitive aluminium alloy. To eliminate friction losses in the transmission, the electric motor was mounted directly on the driving axle. As a result, the car was fitted with the smallest wheels and tyres yet seen.
The First Vehicle To Exceed 100 Kph
The low, streamlined effect was somewhat nullified by" the fact that Jenatzy had to sit on top of the body, with only his nether regions inside the cockpit; nevertheless, after one false start, the car achieved his ambition of being the first vehicle to exceed 100 kph, his actual figure being 105 kph (65.8 mph). Not everyone was impressed, though. W. Worby Beaumont wrote in his massive Motor Vehicles and Motors: 'This is without doubt a higher speed than any other human being has ever travelled on roads, but it was only for about three-quarters of a mile that it was maintained. This vehicle was of no use in any way as a guide for any other class of vehicle'.
Because of the extremely limited range of the battery electric vehicle, especially if it was to have any sort of speed, Jenatzy soon turned his attention to petrol-electrics; he was also seen driving a Mors in three of the principal races of 1899 - the Tour de France, the Paris-St Malo and the Paris-Ostend - attracting public notice by his sporting effort in driving through the night in the Tour de France to make up for time lost.
In the 1900 Gordon Bennett, Jenatzy drove a Bolide petrol-electric of his own design, but lost his way and gave up in despair; the later Jenatzy petrol-electrics were equally unsuccessful, and his patent magnetic clutch, used by Pipe and Rochet-Schneider, enjoyed only a limited vogue. Jenatzy dropped out of motor sport during 1901, and his return in 1902 was hardly auspicious. During the Circuit des Ardennes, he had a terrible smash at the beginning of the second lap, the car going into one ditch and all four wheels into the other.
Le Diable Rouge
With his usual good fortune, he escaped with a few bruises. Because of his red hair and beard, and his flamboyant driving style, Jenatzy earned the nickname 'Le Diable Rouge' (The Red Devil), although there was nothing diabolic-apart from a liking for practical jokes-about his personality. In 1903, he transferred his allegiance to Mercedes, driving one of the. new 90 hp racers in the Paris-Madrid. Early in the race, he overtook 16 competitors, despite the unfavourable road conditions, and at Chatellerault, the big grey Mercedes was lying seventh. By Angoulerne, Jenatzy was third, and was being tipped as a possible winner but, at the top of the Petignac hill, he pulled up, with a mysterious fault in his engine. He eventually discovered, of all unlikely things, that the misfire was caused by a fly in the carburetter.
The Mercedes Team of Jenatzy, Baron de Caters and Foxhall Keene
The literal "fly-in-the-ointment" cost him the race, as the delay had caused him to fall back into eleventh place, a position which he maintained until the race was halted at Bordeaux. Then came the Gordon Bennett, held in inland. A fire at the Mercedes factory having destroyed the special 90 hp models built for this race, the Mercedes team - Jenatzy, Baron de Caters and Foxhall Keene - used 60 hp tourers borrowed back from customers and fitted with racing bodywork.
Ironically, as the two drivers chosen by Emil Jellinek (Werner and Heirony-mus) were not hochtaohlgeborene (of high birth), the Deutsche Automobil Club refused to allow them to compete, on social grounds - only gentlemen could take part in the Gordon Bennett, the honour of Germany was upheld by two Belgians and a Briton. From the second lap, Jenatzy, driving the wealthy American Clarence Gray Dinsmore's stripped Sixty Mercedes, led the field, and his victory by nearly 12 minutes brought the Gordon Bennett Cup back to Germany.
Jenatzy represented Germany in the 1904 Gordon Bennett, too, but was outclassed by Leon Thery's Richard-Brasier, and had to be content with second place. He reputedly had a narrow shave of epic proportions with a train at Wehrheim, where the line from Usingen to Frankfurt crossed the road, this was no mean achievement! A month later, for the Circuit des Ardennes, Jenatzy transferred his allegiance to the Belgian Pipe marque, but his 60 hp car only lasted two laps in this arduous race before breaking down.
The 1905 Gordon Bennett
In the 1905 Gordon Bennett, the Red Devil drove a 120 hp Mercedes, but although he made a spectacular start; the car only completed half the distance at an average speed of 40.5 mph. Having sworn to bring the Cup back to Germany whether he finished dead or alive, Jenatzy was somewhat embarrassed. Nor did he fare any better in the Circuit des Ardennes, where his Mercedes was forced out after a rim collapsed following the loss of its frail tyre.
Jenatzy concluded an unsuccessful season by failing to finish in the Vanderbilt Cup, retiring on the fourth lap after dropping from second to sixth position in the preceding three rounds with the 120 hp Mercedes.
At the end of the first day's racing of the 1905 Gordon Bennett, he was lying 16th, having averaged 47.4mph, finishing well over two hours behind the leader, Szisz in a Renault. On the second day, he shared the car with Burton; the Mercedes started 16th and finished l0th, the first German car to complete the course.
There was a tenth place for Jenatzy's Mercedes in the Circuit des Ardennes, too, while he came fifth in the Vanderbilt Cup that October. The race was stopped after he had finished, as the crowd had become uncontrollable, and hundreds of people were swarming on to the track. The next season saw jenatzy's Mercedes come 14th in the Kaiserpreis, but the combination failed to finish in the French Grand Prix, falling out on the eighth lap after working up through the field from 20th to 12th position.
As in 1904, Jenatzy drove a Pipe in the Circuit des Ardennes. Again, the car failed to last the distance in the Belgian event. 1908 saw Jenatzy back with his original petrol-powered love, Mors. He drove a steady race to finish 16th at an average of 56.8 mph. However, both Mors and Jenatzy were past their prime, and this was the Red Devil's last appearance in international racing. He drove a 180 hp Mercedes in sprint and hill-climb events in 1909 and 1910, but thereafter devoted himself to his tyre company, whose factory in Brussels was one of the biggest in Belgium.
Death by Practical Joke
It was not Jenatzy's love of fast driving which caused his violent death in 1913, but his propensity for practical joking. He was entertaining a party of friends at his shooting box in the Ardennes, and one night decided to frighten them. Jenatzy crept outside, hid behind a bush, and imitated the fearsome grunt of an enraged wild boar. Whereupon one of his guests leaned out of the window and shot the supposed wild animal dead.

I was wondering if the Stutz company had an entry in the Vanderbilt cup races
Howard Kroplick
Roger, there were no Stutz entered in the Long Island Races (1904-1910). But , there were Stutz in the later races (1912-1916):

Use of Non-GAAP Financial InformationIn addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Surmodics is reporting non-GAAP financial results including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP operating (loss) income, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and the non-GAAP effective income tax rate. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial statements, provide meaningful insight into our operating performance excluding certain event-specific matters, and provide an alternative perspective of our results of operations. We use non-GAAP measures, including those set forth in this release, to assess our operating performance and to determine payout under our executive compensation programs. We believe that presentation of certain non-GAAP measures allows investors to review our results of operations from the same perspective as management and our board of directors and facilitates comparisons of our current results of operations. The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from the methods used by other companies. Non-GAAP results should not be regarded as a substitute for corresponding GAAP measures but instead should be utilized as a supplemental measure of operating performance in evaluating our business. Non-GAAP measures do have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be viewed in conjunction with both our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results provided for the specific periods presented, which are attached to this release.

These amounts are not taxable or tax deductible.
(2) Foreign exchange gains and losses are related to marking non-U.S. dollar contingent consideration to period-end exchange rates. The tables include foreign currency exchange loss or gain recorded in each respective historical period and do not include forecasted currency fluctuations in future periods. These gains and losses are not taxable or tax deductible.
(3) Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and associated tax impact. A significant portion of the acquisition-related amortization is not tax deductible.

(8) Impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets which were not tax deductible.
(9) Options to purchase common stock as well as unvested restricted stock and performance stock units are considered to be potentially dilutive common shares but have been excluded from the calculation of GAAP net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive for three months and year ended September 30, 2018 as a result of the net loss for those periods on a GAAP basis. However, as the Non-GAAP adjustments result in Non-GAAP net income, the dilutive effect of these options and other outstanding stock awards have been included in the calculation of Non-GAAP earnings per share. Accordingly, Diluted EPS includes these adjustments.
(10) Net (loss) income includes the effect of the above adjustments on the income tax provision, taking into account deferred taxes and non-deductible items. Effective rates of 24.5% (fiscal 2018) and between 34-35% (fiscal 2017) were used to estimate the income tax impact of the adjustments, except that expenses occurring in Ireland have not been tax-affected as all tax benefits are offset by a full valuation allowance and acquired in-process research and development, which will be deductible at a 21% statutory tax rate.


Thanks! It was an interesting challenge.
The blonde has been around for a while, just not in any major role. She was Rayne's friend and showed up in a couple of college shots. I needed extra people for these shots so I grabbed everything I could find.
It's been eight years, and it has been an exciting and wonderful journey I will never forget.
Thank you Gayl, always, for your friendship, support, inspiration, and for the light.

The great desert burrowing skink (Egernia kintorei) uses family cooperation to build elaborate homes. Credit: Adam Stow
Skinks cooperate to build 'mansions'
By Elliot Brennan | May 30, 2011
Unlike any other known lizards, the great desert burrowing skink collaborates with family to build elaborate homes.
SKINKS MAY NOT BE known for their family ties but a certain species uses the might of many to build elaborate dwellings.
Family groups of the great desert burrowing skink (Egernia kintorei) work together to build and maintain a long-term labyrinth of tunnels, some up to 13m in diameter and 1m deep. None of the world's other 5000 species of lizard are known to collaborate in family groups this way – a behaviour usually reserved for mammals and birds.
The find is the accumulation of two decades of work in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park by conservation biologist Steve McAlpin and colleague Dr Adam Stow from Macquarie University.
"The study has contributed to our understanding of how cooperative behaviour evolves," says Adam. "At present, there is discussion as to whether individuals need to be related for social behaviour to exist".
Skink habitats in burrow clusters
Clusters of desert skink burrows often comprise 10 or more individuals, including one pair of parents with several cohorts of offspring spread throughout the burrow system. The burrows may have up to 20 entrances.
"Interestingly, the skinks have distinct latrines in the burrow cluster. All individuals in the burrow use the same latrine." says Adam.
The skinks, which often grow to 44cm long, may inhabit the same dwelling for several years, often keeping the same partner throughout. Such monogamous behaviour is unusual in lizards, Adam says.
The 'mansions', as Adam calls them, offer protection from high temperatures and predators. The skinks are also calculated in their positioning of the tunnel homes, building their burrows next to along-lived termite colony on which they can feed for quite some time.
"This is a major step forward in research into social interaction" says Michael Bull, professor of biology at Flinders University in South Australia. "It refutes a hypothesis that had been discussed for sometime that social organisation [in lizards] derives from lack of refuge areas." Further research is needed in lizard ecology to explain why it is "still obscure as to why this sociality has emerged", he adds.
Aboriginal elders offer knowledge
Though Steve has been known to perch for hours in a hide observing the curious reptiles, he says working closely with the local indigenous Anangu people has been invaluable to the ongoing study. The research was conducted on the traditional lands of Anangu people and many of the elders in the community assisted Steve with their knowledge.
"I would walk around with one of the elders and he'd say 'the males dig holes and then go off to find mates to bring back there'" Steve says. "They knew all that stuff from thousands of years of observation."
In the local Aboriginal languages, the skinks are also known as: tjakura (Pitjantjatjara/Ngaanyatjarra), warrarna (Walpiri), or mulyamiji (Manyjilyjarra)
The species is regarded as vulnerable in the Northern Territory, while smaller populations in SA are considered endangered. The skink is thought to be long-lived, but scientists don't yet know their average life span. Other species in the Egernia group, such as Cunningham's skink, have been known to live for up to 40 years in captivity, Adam says.

Gąsienice wylęgają się z zimujących jaj wczesną wiosną. Żerują do początku czerwca, kiedy to przepoczwarczają się na roślinie żywicielskiej. Poczwarka jest koloru brunatnego. Wylęg dorosłych motyli następuje w drugiej dekadzie czerwca. Gąsienice czerwończyka nieparka wydzielają substancje, które eliminują atak mrówek. Zwabione mrówki nie tylko nie atakują gąsienic ale swoją obecnością odstraszają inne, potencjalne drapieżniki, groźne dla gąsienic. Larwy czerwończyka nieparka spotkać można w towarzystwie mrówki wścieklicy zwyczajnej (Myrmica rubra).

The history of martial arts in Korea is based more on speculation and legend than fact. It is generally agreed however, that the foundation for striking and kicking arts came from China through trade and commerce, although there is no historical fact to prove this.
The birth of the Korean fighting arts can be placed during the period of the Three Kingdoms, over 1,300 years ago. Korea was divided into three sections, Silla, Koguryu and Paekche. The smallest of these kingdoms, Silla, was constantly under threat from not only the other two kingdoms, but also the Japanese. Consequently, Silla developed a very strong army.
Under the leadership of King Chin Heung, Silla's military might soon became superior to both Paekche and Koguryu. During this period, King Chin Heung organized an elite fighting corps known as the Hwarang-do (Way of Flowering Youth).
Because of this philosophy and their superior fighting ability, the Hwarang-do were never defeated in battle and their deeds became legendary.
In 935AD the kingdom of Silla was defeated and the Koryo Dynasty was founded. During this period the martial arts flourished and were known by many different names, the most popular being Tae Kyun and Soo Bahk. Nearly all Korean martial arts practised today can trace their roots back to the Hwarang-do.
However, there is even earlier evidence of the existence of martial arts in Korea - in 1935 a group of Japanese archaeologists discovered two royal tombs that dated back to the kingdom of Koguryu (37BC - 688AD). These were the Muyong Chang and Kakchu Chong and on the ceiling were paintings depicting warriors in martial arts postures very similar to the ones used in todays Hapkido and Taekwondo etc. Also at Sokgeuram Temple, which dates back to 751AD, there is a statue of a famous warrior in a martial arts stance.
The Chinese martial arts may have had an influence on Korean fighting systems because during the Three Kingdoms period, the religions of China began to penetrate southward. Under the reign of King Pophung of Silla, Buddhism became the sanctioned state religion of the kingdom. This resulted in Korean monks travelling to China to study in the monasteries. It may be fair to assume that the Chinese supplied a basis for martial arts that the Koreans adapted to their physique and culture.
The Koryo Dynasty fell after 500 years of power. The new rule was known as the Yi Dynasty and under this regime all forms of combat were frowned upon. The Korean martial arts fell into further decline when the Japanese invaded and occupied Korea in 1909. The Japanese forbade the practise of any of the native Korean martial arts: only a few of the Japanese arts were allowed to be practised. During the Japanese occupation, the Japanese authorities tried to completely eliminate Korean thought, culture and martial arts which had been preserved for thousands of years.
his resulted in the Korean martial arts being practised in secret. Consequently, many Koreans travelled to neighbouring Japan and China to compare their fighting systems to those of the other two countries.
One young Korean, Yong Sul Choi, was taken to work in camps in Japan. However he was fortunate enough to be placed with a family in the mountains of Japan. His foster father was Sogaku Takeda, a master of the Daito Ryu Aiki Jutsu system. Yong sul Choi studied this system for many years until his foster father's death. In 1945 Korea was liberated from Japanese rule and many Koreans returned home, Choi included, bringing new and improved martial arts systems with them.
Yong Sul Choi combined his studies in Japan with his native Korean arts to produce Hapkido. Choi originally taught his art under the name of Yawara which was not popular with Koreans as it was a Japanese name. The name was changed to Yu Sool and later Yu Kwon Sul. According to Dr. He Young Kimm's book "HAPKIDO", the name Hapkido was first used by one of Choi's original students, Ji Han Jae. Ji Han Jae was appointed head of the Yu Kwon Sul in Seoul in 1957; at that time he was 3rd Dan in the system. Ji thought that "Hapki Yu Kwon Sul" was too long a name. He liked using the word "Do" rather than "Sul" because "Do" means way of life and "Sul" means techniques. He had heard of other martial arts that used "Do" in their names, like Tang Soo Do, Kong Soo Do Soo Bahk Do etc. He then decided to change the name from "Hapki Yu Kwon Sul" to "Hapkido".
It was in 1955 that the Korean government and many prominent martial arts instructors, most significantly General Choi Hong Hi, tried to unite all Korean fighting arts under one banner. The name chosen for this art was Taekwondo. However, a few schools remained outside the new organization; these included Tang Soo Do and Hapkido. Hapkido chose to remain independant because the techniques of the art were so different to those of the other schools.
Today, there are many Hapkido organizations in Korea. Also many Hapkido Masters have set up organizations with their headquarters outside of Korea. The Korea Hapkido Federation is the largest organization devoted solely to Hapkido and is recognised by the Korean government. It is to this organization that the European Hapkido Alliance is affiliated and the Senior Master of the EHA, Grandmaster Sam Plumb, is President of the UK branch of the KHF.
As with most modern martial arts, Hapkido has changed somewhat since its inception. Some schools have introduced patterns or forms into their syllabus; others allow students to enter tournaments or competitions. Both these aspects were not present in Choi's original system as he devised it primarily as a form of combat without any sporting connections. In fact, to enter a competition, the techniques of Hapkido would have to be severely diluted as many of the crippling strikes, kicks, locks and throws would not be allowed.
Which is better? No one system is better than another as all have something to offer the individual. All genuine Hapkido schools can tailor their techniques to suit an individuals way of thinking and his physical structure.
Hapkido has been practised in the UK since 1971; however, it is not an art with a great number of practitioners or schools. This may be due to the arts complexity and the very high standard a student must reach before becoming an instructor.
The European Hapkido Alliance, with the help of Grandmaster Sung Soo Lee and the Korea Hapkido Federation, aims to further the development of Hapkido throughout Europe.

Crown land 'not an option' for Wagga's homeless
Major testing milestone set to be reached as vaccine nears rollout


The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration last week issued a proposed rule aimed at protecting drivers from "coercion" by their employers, shippers, receivers or brokers as it pertains to abuse concerning hours-of-service and other rules.
The proposal, reports Heavy Duty Trucking, was first ordered by Congress in the 2012 highway law, MAP-21, in response to longstanding driver concerns about working past the hours limits.
"The consequences of their refusal to (continue working) are either stated explicitly or implied in unmistakable terms: loss of a job, denial of subsequent loads, reduced payment, denied access to the best trips," the agency said.
The agency is proposing to specifically prohibit employers and others in the supply chain from "threatening" drivers with loss of work, wages or other economic opportunity. The prohibition would turn on whether or not the carrier or other party "knew or should have known" that continued work would violate a rule.
At the same time, an act of coercion would not absolve the driver of his responsibility to obey the rules, the agency said. "A threat would not constitute coercion unless the driver objects or attempts to object," the agency said.
An act of coercion could lead to a fine of as much as $11,000. For-hire carriers also could face loss of their operating authority.
The proposal includes procedures for drivers to follow if they want to report coercion. Complaints would be filed with the agency administrator in the state where the allegation occurred.
The proposal was published in the Federal Register. Comments are due by August 11.

When he is accused of murdering a woman that he's never met, he sets out to prove his innocence and find the true killer. The investigation quickly takes a turn for the complicated when a strange voice appears in his head, warning him to watch his step. Search for clues, interrogate witnesses, and find a murderer. Even with your extra abilities, it will still take solid facts and logic to prove your innocence!"

The German Review for June is here: The Elevator by Cyanide Tea.
Furthermore, I have some news. At the moment I'm pretty busy with a lot of projects.
Currently, I'm working on three translations; RE:Alistair++, Ristorante Amore and Heartful Chance~!. The translations of The Elevator and Legend of the Piper Girl are finished, the developer only have to put them together and release them.
Visual Novel:
My visual novel project makes progress, although slowly. The art is pretty good, all the main characters are finished and there are only the emotions and the blinking animations missing. The backgrounds are coming bit by bit, a huge thanks to Nathaniel-Aoife. The majority of the story is thought-out, but I only implemented about 5,000 words in the script.
New novel:
Those who were able to read my German article in the newspaper know that I'm writing a new book. This time I'm moving away from Japan, since it takes place in the US, to be exact in a little village where a serial killer strike terror into people's hearts. It is a crime novel for adults. The story is told from different views, although, the characters are all involved in the case somehow and there a lot of unexpected turns. Title and release date is TBA, however, a rough draft is finished and a lot is written already. I cannot say if there will be an English translation yet.

Alleged Drunk Driver Causes Death of College Student in White Plains, NY
A 21-year-old student at Manhattanville College was hit and killed by an allegedly intoxicated driver. The accident took place on the morning of Sunday, October 9, on Westchester Avenue. Robert Schartner, of Fishkill NY, was returning to his college campus just prior to 5:00 a.m. and driving just below the Anderson Hill Road overpass when he was struck by another car.
The motorist, 24-year-old Emma Fox, of Rye NY, was charged with a felony for vehicular homicide and a misdemeanor for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). According to White Plains Police Commissioner David Chong, Fox's blood-alcohol content was 0.21. If a driver is 21 years old, they can be charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) when their blood-alcohol content exceeds .08 percent.
Police are currently conducting an investigation into the White Plains DWI accident and have impounded Fox's 2012 Nissan Sentra. Following Fox's arraignment, she was being held at the Westchester County jail in lieu of a $100,000 bail amount.
Schartner, the man who died in the fatal car crash, was a junior at the Manhattanville College, where he played on the lacrosse team for three years. Manhattanville President Michael Geisler said Schartner's sacrifices were an inspiration to the team and that he was a perfect example of a scholar who also served as an athlete. Schartner had three siblings and intended to major in marketing.

Happy Solstice! Summer is finally here and for a lot of kids that means summer camp is just around the corner.
But why should kids have all the s'mores and all fun?
Here's a round-up of some of the adult camps I found for a feature on CNBC Road Warrior.
From fantasy sports camps with major league players to boot camps for aspiring astronauts, rockers, clowns, zombie slayers and world poker players, there are plenty of summertime options for adults seeking to cross big-ticket items off their bucket list or or just try something new.
Music fans can take lessons from rock stars who serve as counselors at the Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp held in Las Vegas and, starting in October, at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. Four-day packages begin at about $5,000 and include loaner instruments and lunches, but not lodging.
The hefty fee didn't deter 51-year-old Ron Cianciaruso, a musician and a senior vice president at a major bank in Jacksonville, Florida, from signing up for what will be his second session at Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp: the upcoming four-day camp that will feature The Who's Roger Daltrey as one of the counselors.
Ron Cianciaruso (in red T-shirt on the left;) along with rock counselor Billy Hinsche (in the hat), a former member of Dino, Desi & Billy who also played with the Beach Boys; and co-campers Nick, Ted, John, Bill and Pat, who joined Ron in the camp band, Outside the Box.
Sports enthusiasts can hang out with their heroes at a wide variety of baseball and basketball fantasy camps, many with registration fees for adults hovering at around $5,000 as well.
Wish you could go into space?
The U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, offers a weekend-long Adult Space Academy for those who want to learn what it's like to train to be an astronaut. Campers get to hang out in one of the world's largest space aircraft collections, construct and launch rockets, and train on simulators, including the one-sixth gravity chair and Multi-Axis Trainer.
The three-day camp costs $549 per person while the four-day program runs $649. Meals and lodging are included.
For those worried about a zombie attack, weekend-long sessions at the Zombie Survival Course, held near Whiting, New Jersey, teach campers age 21 and older skills that might come in handy should there be a zombie apocalypse or some other disaster.
"It's very much a camp-like experience, but with crossbows, pistols and training in advanced first-aid techniques and hand-to-hand combat," said Zombie Survival Course founder Mark Scelza.
The $450 price includes lodging and meals.
"We're ready for zombies, hurricanes, earthquakes, even martial law now," said 34-year-old Ivory Mejia, an ultrasound technologist from Hull, Georgia, who took the course recently with her husband.
"Adult camps often take place in traditional camp settings and can be the adult version of a kid's camp," said Peg Smith, CEO of the American Camp Association. And adult campers are likely to be baby boomers interested in "taking their vacations while supporting their vocations," she said.
According to the ACA, the 12,000 organized camps in the United States are part of a $15 billion industry, with 11 million children and youth and more than 1 million adults attending camp each year. The ACA's Find a Camp tool lists 200 adult camps, while its business affiliate GrownUpCamps.com has more than 800 paid listings for camps, courses and experiences.
In Ely, Nevada, two of the three Railroad Reality Week summer sessions offered by the Nevada Northern Railway Museum are for adults only. The hands-on experience promises time spent maintaining 19th century locomotives and rail cars "with all the dirt and grime, you'd expect" and working as part of a railroad crew out on the track.
World Poker Tournament Boot Camps in Las Vegas (of course) cover everything from basic poker instruction to tournaments and tells (betting patterns and physical behaviors). And the Culinary Institute of America offers two- to five-day-long boot camps ($895 to $2,195) on such topics as wine, pastry, grilling and barbecue at its three campuses in New York, California and Texas.
Many CIA campers are food and wine enthusiasts who want to learn in a professional kitchen with professional chefs, but the short sessions sometimes serve as gateways to something more serious. "We have had people attend Boot Camp, decide it was a life-changing event and then enter into the degree program," said Amy Townsend, CIA senior project manager for consumer marketing.

World's largest ship so big it can lift an oil rig takes to the seas
'Pieter Schelte', largest lifting vessel in the world
From DailyMail by Jonathan O'Callaghan
The biggest vessel in the world has been built by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering in South Korea
Swiss company Allseas commissioned the building of the huge £1.9 billion ($3.1 billion) ship
Called Pieter Schelte, the vessel is almost as long as the Empire State Building and wide as Big Ben's Elizabeth tower
The vehicle will be used to pick up and move oil rigs from one place to another, such as to and from port
Both the legs and main structure of a rig can be carried on the ship and moved simultaneously
It can reach speeds of 14 knots (16.1 mph or 25.9 km/h) and hold a crew of 571 people
Allseas says it will enter offshore operations next year - but an even bigger ship will be built by 2020
The vessel that now holds the title of the world's biggest ship has taken to the seas for the first time.
Called Pieter Schelte, the behemoth can lift oil rigs right out of the water and move them to new destinations.
It measures a staggering 1,253ft (382 metres) long and 407ft (124 metres) wide, making it almost as long as the Empire State Building is tall and wider than the height of Big Ben.
The biggest vessel in the world has been built by Daewoo in South Korea. Swiss company Allseas commissioned the building of the huge $1.7bn ship.
Both the legs and main structure of a rig can be moved simultaneously
It cost £1.9 billion ($3.1 billion) to build and is powered by 11.2 megawatt engines connected to 13 Rolls Royce 5.5 megawatt thrusters, reports Gizmodo.
Topsides - the upper section of oil rigs - weighing up to 48,000 tons can be lifted by the behemoth, while it will also be able to lift jackets - the legs - of rigs weighing up to 25,000 tonnes.
The ship can then transport both the top and bottom sections of the oil rig simultaneously and take it back to port.
It can even raise and lower itself in the water by 82ft (25 metres) in order to cope with the huge weight demands of moving an oil rig.
Pieter Shelte, which will be operated by Swiss company Allseas, is expected to begin offshore operations next year.
It can reach speeds of 14 knots (16.1 mph or 25.9 km/h) and has space for a crew of 571 people.
When it enters operation it will also be the world's largest pipelaying ship and will be used to construct infrastructure under the sea.
Its pipelay capacity of 2,000 tonnes is double that of the previous record holder, another Allseas ship called Solitaire.
Pieter Shelte will only hold the title of the world's biggest ship for six years, though; by 2020 Allseas expects to have an even larger vessel in operation to install and move bigger oil rigs.
The Maersk Triple-E also built by Daewoo Shipbuilding still holds the record for the longest ship, though, at 1,312 feet (400 metres).
Called Pieter Schelte (shown) it is almost as big as the Empire State Building.
It will be used to pick up and move oil rigs from one place to another.
It can reach speeds of 14 knots and hold a crew of 571 people.
Allseas says it will enter offshore operations next year.
It measures a staggering 1,253 feet (382 metres) long and 407ft (124 metres) wide, making it almost as long as the Empire State Building is tall and wider than the height of Big Ben.

The craft movement is alive and well in America, moving beyond the longstanding constraints of local shops and traveling craft fairs, globalized by the internet and buoyed by the advent of social media.
Margaux and Walter Kent are the embodiment and antithesis of this globalization of craft – living, sourcing, and working locally, yet selling globally thanks to their Etsy store and sales through other outlets like fab.com, they have managed to embody a unique position as artisans in the internet age. We had a chance to spend two days with them at their home and workshop in Philadelphia, documenting their craft, family and artifacts. Keep reading to see.

Looking for an academic service that can answer your write my admissions essay cry for help? Additionally, you must be concrete in your answers. Do make sure you follow all the directions that have been provided to you. The school may request your essay in a certain format, for instance, which may mean you will need to get to know some different software packages before you hand it in. Although you will be studying towards becoming an FNP, the university will want to know that you already have an understanding of what that job requires.
You need to make sure that your responses represent the overall roles of FNPs. It is very likely that you will be asked how you overcame something very difficult in your life. Usually, what they are looking for is something that happened during your career, and not necessarily in your personal life. Although you can use personal challenges, try to avoid true personal hardship, such as having a history of abuse, coming from a broken home or having financial difficulties in your personal life.
If you struggle to find something that you would class as a true difficulty outside of your persona life, then pick something that was perhaps not entirely insurmountable but still challenging.
So long as it is not trivial, you can use it as an example. Your essay is an opportunity for you to show what you are made of. Highlight all the things that are good about you, such as your education, your career and other experiences. Perhaps you have done voluntary work, or you have already been employed in the medical field. It is always a good idea to give some examples of the experiences you have had to demonstrate why you are good at what you do and why you want to become a FNP.
You will need to describe who you are in your essay as well, and it is best to use facts rather than just descriptive words. For instance, saying you are hardworking may sound really good, but it is much better to given an example of how you have worked hard in your experience.

Grand Luncheonette
VANISHED: 1997
Personal journal entry July 28, 1995:
I went into the Grand Luncheonette today for a Coca-Cola. A little hole-in-the-wall of vintage chrome and orange formica, set beneath the shade of a burned-out movie marquee, its few remaining bulbs still burning. I sat on the swivel stool and watched 42nd Street. I watched the flies hum around the ketchup bottles, the man turning hot dogs, the big cans of sauerkraut and chili stacked under the greasy counter. A fan turned and stirred up the dirt. Nothing much happened.
I finished my soda and walked down 42nd, looking at the things in the windows of all the head shops along the Deuce--Magic Shaving Powder, Spanish fly ointment, corn-cob pipes, Rough Rider condoms. Men called out from shadowed doorways, "One-dolla, one-dolla, one-dolla. Live nude girls." I looked in the window of the Martial Arts Shopping Center, at the mechanical Victorinox army knife, folding and unfolding its blades. I looked at all the knives and the brass knuckles and the swords. I looked into a window full of books with titles like: How to Pick Up Girls, How to Create a New Identity, and How to Build Your Own Bazooka.

Luncheonette's Grill Turns Off for Good
By RANDY KENNEDY
The New York Times, October 20, 1997
Most of the regulars could be found at the Grand Luncheonette yesterday, parked on the stools or bellied up to the counter.
There was Abdul El-Amin, who started coming regularly 25 years ago for knishes after kung-fu movies. There was Officer Charles Mitchell, who has patrolled Times Square for a decade and often stopped by for a hot dog (95 cents) with sauerkraut (5 cents extra). And there was Pops, a toothless 42d Street regular who could not remember exactly how long he had been eating there.
"Since forever, why don't we leave it at that," said Pops, who left his name at "just Pops."
As he has for 58 years in the neighborhood, Fred Hakim, the owner, wore his stained white fry-cook's jacket and dished out fare as delectable as it was profoundly greasy. He enforced the prohibitions tacked on the mirror behind the counter: "No Loitering. No Spitting. No Water. No Ice." And he held forth as a humble historian of the Deuce, as he still likes to call 42d Street west of Seventh Avenue.
But Mr. Hakim, 69, had a hard time keeping it all from sounding like a valedictory. After more than 25 years in its closet-sized space at 229 West 42d Street, the Grand Luncheonette spent its last day on 42d Street yesterday.
Still from the film Grand Luncheonette: Watch it here.
It is being closed as part of the Times Square redevelopment project, which has shuttered dozens of the neighborhood's older businesses -- many of them sex-oriented -- to make way for sparkling new restaurants, theaters and retail stores.
...As word spread last week that his luncheonette was closing, Mr. Hakim became a celebrity on the television news. Yesterday, as the cameras returned, his wife, Jane, made a final plea to any Times Square landlord not yet wedded to fancy coffee or Disney outlets.
"There must still be a market out there," she said, "for someone who wants a plain old hot dog and a knish."

Thanks to fhe video link. A treasure...
Lenny Waller here, Thank you for the honest & true view of the Grand Luncheonette. I remember it as long as I can remember going to 42nd Street. It was always a Great Hot Dog or quick burger & it was good & affordable.
It has its part in the Duce's history as the Movies, Peep Shows, Novelty shops, hookers, Pimps, & pushers. It is a part of NY's history sadly gone forever.
Thank you for helping preserve it.

My mom bought me Jamaican meat patties there as a kid -- and I fell in love with the bug juice machines. When I was a little kid my mom, grandmom and I would go to the Spanish-language movies they would show in some of those old theatres.

That was my father's store - the Grand Luncheonette (a/k/a "Limark Foods" - named after Lisa, my sister, and me). I worked there for years with him and my grandfather too. He and his father, Albert, started these stores years and years ago (even under old Madison Square Garden, a few stores down (named also "Glad Food for my brothers Glenn and Adam), etc.) and my father still tells me stories. He even recently told me the story of how they, his father that is, decided to do the 2 hot dogs for $0.25 (it was 2 for $1.95 at the end in 1997) -he said that made the business take off. I miss the block, and the store, and am thankful for having had the opportunity to share and be a - part of 42nd Street, the customers, the store and experience with my father.
mr. hakim, thanks for writing. i loved the grand luncheonette, and i still miss it.
i would love to hear more about it. please email me at jeremoss(at)yahoo(dot)(com)

i had my first hamburger in new york here it was 1988 and i was 18 ...it mustoff cost like 1$ for two hamburgers it was so great!!
Hello everyone. On a very sad note, my father, Fred Hakim, who was the proprietor of the store for decades, is terminally ill with cancer. He is in hospice and the doctors say it is likely hours or a day or so. He suffers from aggressive cancer and is no longer conscious. He loved the store, 42nd street and, most of all, the people who patronized it. This video is timeless and, to our family, priceless. It captures him, times square and the store perfectly.
If any of you happen to have any additional pictures or videos that you don't mind sharing, we'd be very appreciative.

Was that the place where Joe Buck ran into Ratso for the second time in the movie Midnight Cowboy (in the book, it was a Nedick's at Sixth and 8th; I believe where the Gray's Papaya now stands)? When Ratso at first smiles in recognition but then his expression suddenly changes when he realizes Joe is probably not feeling equally kindly.
P.S. Sorry about your father, Mark.

Etowah Riverr less 1/2 mile away. Interstate 575 and 515 about 5 miles away. Seller will divide into two tracts, 17 +/- AC.


An idea I have had for an RPG, swiping ideas from FATE and Prime Time Adventures, but trying to cast it into a diceless modality, so that, among other things, it will work at Ambercon.
Like many indie games, it requires a pile of index cards, sticky notes and some markers. Also, something to use as counters, like poker chips or shiny rocks.
The setting gets created along with the PCs, collaboratively, by coming up with aspects.
To begin with , everyone agrees on a genre like "Space Opera" or "Epic Fantasy".
These become aspects of the PC, an NPC, the world, or "rules". Rules are things like "magic is based on the five elements " or "only halflings can be paladins".
Another player can't start assigning aspects to a PC until that PC has a name and at least one aspect already, and the player can always refuse an assigned aspect, though it's more fun to go with it.
The GM doesn't come in until the second round to give the players a chance to find their feet. If a player is stuck, something like Background Cards or PTA's random idea generator should be on hand. Tarot cards and a book on interpreting them isn't a bad idea either.
A Concept Aspect like "Space Mystic" or "Ascetic Swordswoman" that sums up the basic idea of the character in a few words. Every player should probably have one of these.
Power aspects covering stuff like skills, gadgets and powers. So things like "The Singing Sword of Saragund", "The Power To Cloud Men's Minds", "Seven Pointed Star Praying Mantis Style Kung Fu", "My Strength is a Thing Out Of Legend" and the like.
No more than one absolute aspect. If the player feels it's important to the concept, there's the option of choosing an absolute aspect. For example, in the TV series Leverage, the show bible had a rule that "Elliot never loses a fight". This worked because, among other things, the thrust of the show wasn't fighting, and fighting was that character's niche. These aspects should be used carefully – there's a big difference between niche protection and trying to make a character who's immune to the story. Only one character should have this kind of aspect for a given niche.
While going around, the players and GM keep coming up with stuff about the characters and setting. The players grab index cards for things that are aspects for themselves, and the GM can use index cards or sticky notes to write down setting, rule and NPC aspects. I think for PCs it might work better to put each aspect on a single card, but the GM probably wants everything for an NPC on a single card. Rules and setting aspects might work better as sticky notes up on the wall where everyone can see them.
After a few rounds, stuff should start to come together . If the PCs haven't set up antagonists as a result of their relationships with each other, then the GM can start adding in some things like "Wicked Vizier who was responsible for framing your father" or "Incorruptible Sherriff McCabe" so the PCs have some opposition.
The GM should be able to tell when things are solid enough to get started. Give every player some points. Probably something like one per player present? The GM will have a budget per act.
The actual game system runs on aspects and point bids. Since I'm trying to diceless, the simple conflict resolution is positively tapping an aspect wins, unless the other side is doing the same. Similarly, a negative aspect tap (something like "Can't Turn Left" in a pose-off) loses, but nets the character a point. If no one is tapping an aspect, or everyone is, it comes down to bidding points. Whoever spends the most points gets to decide how the conflict gets resolved. All points spent go away. The resolution shouldn't invalidate anyone's aspects – this is where it goes tricky. If Player A picks a fist fight with another who has an aspect of "never loses a fist fight", and Player A wins the bid, she needs to come up with a way to resolve the conflict that doesn't involve the other character losing the fist fight.
The Gm can add aspects to anything other than a Pc as needed. PC's can add an aspect to something by spending a point. A player can only add an aspect some someone else's character with permission.
To steal from Fiasco, there are three Acts. Each Act gives everyone a turn to call a scene. The Gm's point budget resets each Act. I will need some play testing to figure out if the PC's point budgets should, too. TODO: try to figure out some way to nudge the game into the classic screenwriter's Three Act Structure (Introduction, Rising Action, Conclusion)?
The idea is that the whole game can be put together and run in a few hours in a convention slot. For a longer running game, later sessions could skip the initial setup and just go right into the three Acts. The GM might want to plan out a Season with spotlights ala PTA in that case, so the plot can come from different PC's arcs each session.

For two years now I have been asked continuously by friends and tutors if I blog. Back then I don't think I could have imagined anything worse. No one would be interested in my random thoughts I thought, and besides, writing anything at all is an ordeal for me as I constantly rewrite and restructure anything I have just typed. (I'm doing it now). Even texting a friend takes me far longer than it needs to.
At this point last year I was just beginning the major project phase of my MA in Graphic Communication and was rapidly collecting data on myself that I could turn into data visualisations. I've always been a private person, and then all of a sudden through my work I was revealing all kinds of habits and interests. Others on the course were enthusiastic about my work and so I decided to share them online.
In July 2011 things went a bit crazy, views of my work on Flickr jumped overnight and I was receiving messages of support and questions about my methods from all over the world. (If you were one that got in contact then thank you very much). I later discovered that one of the most well known information designers Nicholas Felton had blogged my work.
Since then I began to use Twitter and through here I discovered the Information is Beautiful competitions. In fact my entry won first prize and earned me $2,000. The publicity generated yet more interest in my work which lead to me producing a visualisation for Qatar based news group Al Jazeera. In short I believe the internet is a truly amazing thing and I intend to make the most of it.
I am currently looking at improving my website to include my more recent work and I'm also looking at adding a section that explains my general design process and tools since I have had so many people asking about this through email. This blog will provide further reading as new projects and challenges come my way, and I also hope to share and discuss some of the work from others which I find most interesting or relevant.
I have already revealed a lot about myself, but there will be much more to come. Attached is an image of my favorite place to work.
Thanks for reading and I hope this proves interesting.
This room is far too tidy for a creative! It's immaculate!
Its in either one of two states, as it is in the picture or a complete pigsty. There is no in-between. I wish I has a photo of the mess and piles of book from when I was writing my dissertation.
But my creative spaces never look like this at the best of times.
At the worst of times, for two weeks during final degree show prep, my room resembled a rabbit hutch: newspaper lining the floor and paper shavings all over the place. No poop though luckily.

EU warns against 'military escalation' over Iran
TEHRAN, May 14 -The European Union strongly advises avoidance of any "military escalation" against Iran as the United States keeps piling pressure on the Islamic Republic and trying to force other countries to follow suit.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini made the remarks in Brussels on Monday after a meeting of the bloc's foreign ministers. The summit was crashed by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who reportedly tried to sell Washington's hard line on the Islamic Republic.
Mogherini, however, argued that "maximum restraint and avoiding any escalation on the military side" would be "the most responsible" course of action.
"Pompeo heard that very clearly today from us, not only from myself, but also from the other ministers of EU member states," she added. The top US diplomat had to shave a day off a planned visit to Russia to jet into the summit.
"We are living in a crucial delicate moment," Mogherini noted, adding, "We, as you know, as the European Union, always encourage dialog and diplomatic engagement. This has always been our commitment. This is what we are practicing, including with Iran."
Pompeo is the alleged brain behind the administration of US President Donald Trump's policy of "maximum pressure" against Iran. The policy also has National Security Adviser John Bolton as the person trying his best to escalate it into military conflict.
Employing the approach, the US left a multi-lateral nuclear deal with Iran, which has the UK, France, Russia, China, and Germany as its other signatories, last year. It then reinstated the sanctions that had been lifted under the accord. The moves came while the deal had been ratified in the form of a United Nations Security Council resolution, making Washington culpable for violating international law.
Washington has also been trying to reduce Iran's oil exports to "zero," and sent an aircraft carrier strike group, a bomber squad, an amphibious assault ship, and a Patriot missile battery to the Middle East to try to stack up pressure on Tehran.
The Europeans have, time and again, declared that they would be staying true to the deal and make up for the US' withdrawal from the agreement.
Mogherini likewise said, "There is full determination on the European Union's side, and also all the member states expressed that today very clearly on continuing to implement it at full the nuclear deal with Iran."
Iran, however, has complained about Europe's failing to act on its verbal support for the deal by continuing trade with Iran despite the US sanctions.
On May 8, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani announced a decision made by the Supreme National Security Council, the country's top security body, to suspend the implementation of some of the Islamic Republic's commitments under the multinational agreement.
The EU official claimed the Brussels meeting saw the ministers addressing ways to conduct financial transactions with the Islamic Republic despite the bans.
In January, the UK, France, and Germany announced the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchange (INSTEX), a non-dollar direct payment channel with Tehran.
Mogherini said she and the ministers had addressed "ways in which we can further advance on the, for instance, operationalization of INSTEX to have first transactions in the, hopefully, next few weeks."

The Danish approach to infection detection has come in for sharp criticism from the World Health Organization (photo: Pixabay)
November 3rd, 2020 7:49 pm| by Christian W
According to the latest figures from the State Serum Institute (SSI), 1,353 people tested positive for the coronavirus in the past 24 hours.
That figure is the highest number of cases registered in one day since the pandemic kicked off last spring.
Interestingly, SSI estimates that if Denmark had tested as comprehensively back in April as they do now, there would probably have been 2-3,000 new cases every day at that time.

Over the same period of time, four people have died whilst infected and another 35 have been admitted to hospital – one of whom being former climate minister, Lars Christian Lilleholt.
The number of people currently hospitalised stands at 169 – 22 in intensive wards and 16 on ventilators.
The news comes on the same day that the health authorities moved to organise the establishment of clinics geared to helping COVID-19 patients deal with difficult, unexpected and long term after-effects of getting the virus.


Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, has again cried out that communities ransacked by herdsmen are not safe for returning residents.He said this at the weekend when the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons paid him a visit in Makurdi.
He explained that the displaced people are in a dilemma, as conditions at the camps are poor. The governor chided the commission for calling almost two months after the influx of refugees from Cameroon into the state was reported it. He advised the commission to be more proactive in the future. "It is the responsibility of the Federal Government and your commission to take care of the refugees," he said.Ortom said he would continue to cry out until justice is served his people, stressing that ranching is the best way to end attacks by herdsmen.
