Nxtra first data centre to deploy fuel-cell clean energy technology
While unlocking cost and sustainability benefits, Nxtra will be the first data centre company in India to deploy fuel cell technology to reduce carbon emissions at its data centres
To deploy low environmental impact fuel cell installation at its data centre in Karnataka and reduce carbon emissions through a cleaner, hydrogen ready fuel supply, Bharti Airtel has said its subsidiary Nxtra Data Ltd has partnered with Bloom Energy.
Nxtra by Airtel, which will invest over Rs 5000 crore over the next four years to expand its capacity by 3X to over 400 MW, has a network of data centres in India with 12 large and 120 edge data centres across the country.
While unlocking cost and sustainability benefits, Nxtra will be the first data centre company in India to deploy fuel cell technology to reduce carbon emissions at its data centres.
Without any significant investment, Nxtra plans to start the unit on non-combusted natural gas and then switch to 50% hydrogen in future. With utility electrical grid and generators as backup sources, the natural gas-powered cells will be used for primary generation.
Rajesh Tapadia, chief operating officer, Nxtra by Airtel said, "With an ambition to reach net zero by 2031, we have embarked on our sustainability journey by making all possible efforts to adopt innovative energy solutions."
"Bloom Energy's technology is distinctly capable of helping India meet its decarbonization objectives as it transitions to a hydrogen economy," said Tim Schweikert, senior managing director, international business development, Bloom Energy.
To source more than 180,000 MWh of renewable energy, the company has already invested and partnered with 8 organisations to develop renewable energy power plants across India and is committed to achieving 50% of its power requirements through renewable energy sources in the next 12 months.

Malatyaspor ist ein türkischer Fußballverein. Der Verein wurde 1966 in Malatya gegründet. Die Spiele werden im 17.000 Zuschauer fassenden Malatya İnönü Stadı ausgetragen. Malatyaspor spielte in den 1980er und 2000er Jahren insgesamt elf Spielzeiten in der Spor Toto Süper Lig und befindet sich in deren Ewigen Tabelle auf dem 24. Platz. Die größten Erfolge der Vereinsgeschichte sind ein dritter Tabellenplatz in der Saison 1987/88 und ein fünfter Tabellenplatz in der Saison 2002/03. Der Verein steht in keiner Weise in Beziehung zu Yeni Malatyaspor und konkurriert mit diesem. Vielmehr ist Malatyaspor seit Mitte der 2000er Jahre Übernahmebestrebungen von Yeni Malatyaspor ausgesetzt.

Geschichte

Vereinsgründung und die ersten Jahre
Malatyaspor wurde 1966 in Malatya gegründet und nahm ein Jahr später in der zweithöchsten türkischen Spielklasse, der heutigen TFF 1. Lig, am Wettbewerb teil. Bereits zum Ende der ersten Saison stieg der Verein in die dritthöchste türkische Spielklasse, in die heutige TFF 2. Lig, ab. Nachdem man bis zum Sommer 1973 in dieser Liga gespielt hatte, stieg man durch die gewonnene Meisterschaft wieder in die TFF 1. Lig auf. Hier nahm der Verein die nachfolgenden vier Spielzeiten am Wettbewerb teil, spielte aber überwiegend gegen den Abstieg. Zum Sommer 1977 stieg der Verein letztlich erneut in die TFF 2. Lig ab. Zur Saison 1980 entschied der türkische Fußballbund den türkischen Profifußball auf zwei Ligen zu begrenzen und legte zur anstehenden Spielzeit die Ligen TFF 2. Lig und TFF 1. Lig zusammen. Dadurch spielte Malatyaspor wieder zweitklassig.

Erster Aufstieg in die Süper Lig und die erfolgreichste Saison
Anfang der 1980er Jahre übernahm der Mäzen Nurettin Soykan den hochverschuldeten Verein und wurde Vereinspräsident. Binnen weniger Monate finanzierte er aus eigener Tasche ein komplett neues Trainingsgelände und baute eine neue Mannschaft bestehend aus gestandenen Spielern und jungen Talenten. Darüber hinaus wurde der Verein auch dadurch gefördert, dass der damals amtierende Ministerpräsident der Türkei, Turgut Özal, aus der Provinz Malatya stammt und diese in allen Gebieten unterstützte. Für die Saison 1982/83 engagierte man viele Spieler aus der Süper Lig und ging mit dem erklärten Ziel der Meisterschaft in die Saison. Dieses Ziel verfehlte man und erreichte zum Saisonende den dritten Tabellenplatz. Um das Ziel Meisterschaft und damit den Aufstieg in die Süper Lig zu erreichen, wurde erneut in die Mannschaft investiert. Medienberichten zufolge investierte der Klubpräsident Soykan bis zum Oktober 1983 15.000.000 türkische Lire in die Mannschaft. Diese Investitionen zeigten Wirkung. Unter der Leitung des Cheftrainers Nihat Atacan wurde Malatyaspor erst Herbstmeister und anschließend ohne eine Niederlage souverän Meister der TFF 1. Lig. Damit erreichte man das erste Mal in der Vereinsgeschichte die Teilnahme an der höchsten türkischen Spielklasse, der Süper Lig. Zum Saisonende wurde Malatyaspor vom türkischen Fußballverband zur erfolgreichsten Mannschaft der Liga gekürt und der Trainer Nihat Atacan zum erfolgreichsten Trainer der Saison.

Die Vorbereitungen für die kommende Saison begann Malatyaspor bereits Wochen vor dem offiziellen Saisonende unmittelbar nach der gewonnenen Meisterschaft. Der Verein versuchte vergeblich namhafte Spieler von den drei großen Vereinen Beşiktaş Istanbul, Fenerbahçe Istanbul und Galatasaray Istanbul zu verpflichten. Dabei scheiterten die Verpflichtungen nicht an der geforderten Summe, sondern vielmehr an der Tatsache, dass keiner der Stars in der Provinz spielen wollten.

Schließlich begnügte man sich mit den Spielern der restlichen Erstligateams und holte u. a. Malik Gençalp, Çetin Aslan, Eren Talu, Oktay Çevik, Cavit Kurucu. In der Süper Lig spielte der Verein die ersten beiden Spielzeiten gegen den Abstieg und festigte in der dritten Süper-Lig-Saison seine Rolle mit dem sechsten Tabellenplatz. Während dieser vergangenen drei Spielzeiten baute man kontinuierlich an einer schlagkräftigen Mannschaft. Zum Sommer 1985 verpflichtete man von Fenerbahçe den Nationalspieler Sedat Karaoğlu, von Galatasaray den Nationalspieler Metin Yıldız und von Gaziantepspor den Shootingstar Bünyamin Süral. Zu Saisonbeginn 1986/87 verpflichtete man von den amtierenden Nationaltorwart Yaşar Duran, von Galatasaray den Youngstar Adnan Esen. Fener verpflichtete man zum Saisonende den neuen Trainer Yılmaz Vural.

Entsprechend den Direktiven von Vural verpflichtete der Verein für die Saison 1987/88 den Nationalspieler Ceyhun Güray und den viel-gehandelten Youngstar Ünal Karaman. Mit dieser verstärkten Mannschaft setzte sich Malatyaspor früh an der Tabellenspitze fest. Dabei gelangen der Mannschaft überraschende Heimsiege gegen die die sogenannten Drei Großen des türkischen Fußballs, gegen die drei großen Istanbuler Klubs Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe und Galatasaray. Nach einer Serie von Punktverlusten fiel die Mannschaft aber leicht von der Tabellenspitze ab und der Trainer Vural begann daraufhin immer mehr in Frage gestellt. Unmittelbar nach der 2:7-Heimniederlage gegen Adana Demirspor verließ Vural schließlich den Verein und wurde durch Özkan Akbulut ersetzt. Dieser Trainer führte die Mannschaft wieder auf die Erfolgsspur. Unter seiner Führung wurde die Saison mit einem 5:3-Heimsieg über Beşiktaş beendet und mit dem dritten Tabellenplatz die beste Erstligaplatzierung der Vereinsgeschichte erreicht.

Motiviert durch den dritten Tabellenplatz investierte der Verein für die anstehende Saison weiter in die Mannschaft. So verpflichtete man den brasilianischen Nationaltorhüter Carlos Roberto Gallo und den brasilianischen Nationalspieler Serginho Chulapa. Als Trainer wurde erneut Nihat Atacan engagiert. Die Saison verlief für den Verein eher enttäuschend, sodass man hinter den Erwartungen zurückblieb. Atacan wurde bereits nach einer 6:0-Niederlage gegen Galatasaray nach dem 3. Spieltag entlassen und durch İsmail Tekin ersetzt. Tekin wiederum betreute die Mannschaft nur acht Spieltage und übergab sein Amt Özkan Akbulut. Nachdem man unter diesem Trainer 6:1 gegen Fenerbahçe verlor, trennte man sich auch von diesem Trainer und ersetzte ihn durch den Deutschen Jürgen Sundermann. Am Saisonende belegte Malatyaspor einen enttäuschenden zwölften Tabellenplatz. Der einzige Lichtblick der Saison war die Leitung im türkischen Fußballpokal. Hier kam man bis ins Halbfinale, wo man auf Fenerbahçe traf. Das Hinspiel in Istanbul ging mit 0:1 verloren, das Rückspiel in Malatya konnte mit 2:1 gewonnen werden. Trotzdem schied der Verein wegen der Auswärtstorregel aus dem Wettbewerb aus. Dieses Resultat war bis dato das beste Ergebnis in diesem Wettbewerb. Entsprechend den Wünschen von Sundermann wurde an der Mannschaft der nächsten Saison gearbeitet. So wurden die deutschen Spieler Alf Fistler und Engelbert Buschmann verpflichtet. Auch die Saison 1989/90 blieb die Mannschaft weit hinter den Erwartungen. Trotz enttäuschender Ergebnisse hielt die Vereinsführung lange an Sundermann fest. Nach einer 4:0-Heimniederlage am 13. Spieltag gegen Galatasaray und einer Auswärtsniederlage gegen Adana Demirspor am 14. Spieltag wurde Sunderman letztendlich entlassen. Ihm folgte Ümit Turmuş. Auch mit diesem Trainer gelang es nicht, sich aus den Abstiegsplätzen zu befreien, so wurde am 24. Spieltag Fethi Demircan als Cheftrainer eingestellt. Demircan schaffte ebenfalls die erhoffte Leistungssteigerung nicht. Da die Süper Lig für die kommende Saison von 18 Mannschaften auf 16 reduziert werden sollte, mussten zum Saisonende statt der üblichen letzten drei die letzten fünf Mannschaften absteigen. So stieg der Verein mit dem erreichten 14. Tabellenplatz in die TFF 1. Lig ab. Nach dem Misserfolg legte der Vereinspräsident Nurettin Soykan das Amt nieder und wurde durch Metin Kaya Çağlayan ersetzt. Dieser behauptete, dass der unmittelbare Konkurrent im Abstiegskampf, Boluspor, mit Adana Demirspor sich abgesprochen haben und so den Abstieg Malatyaspors zustande gebracht hatten. Die Sache ging vor Gericht und blieb in letzter Instanz erfolglos. Im Januar 1991 wurde der zurückgetretene alte Präsident Nurettin Soykan wieder gewählt und arbeitete sofort an dem direkten Wiederaufstieg. Zum Saisonende wurde man Tabellenzweiter und verpasste den direkten Wiederaufstieg. Während der vergangenen Saison und auch davor wurden von der Fantribüne immer wieder Rufe laut die den Präsidenten Soykan zur Amtsniederlegung aufforderten. So trat Soykan erneut zurück, hob aber hervor, dass er den Verein schuldenfrei hinterlasse.

Zweiter Aufstieg in die Süper Lig
Nach dem Weggang von Soykan blieb Malatyaspor lange Zeit erfolglos und spielte im mittleren Tabellenplatz der TFF 1. Lig. Am Ende der Saison 2000/01 schaffte es der Verein in die Play-Offs der TFF 1. Lig. Hier kam man bis ins Finale und setzte sich hier nach Elfmeterschießen mit 4:2 gegen Sakaryaspor durch. So gelang nach zwölfjähriger Abstinenz wieder die Teilnahme an der Süper Lig.

In der ersten Süper-Lig-Saison schaffte der Verein sicher den Klassenerhalt. Die nachfolgende Saison 2002/03 verlief sehr erfolgreich. Der Verein hatte sich in der Vorsaison für den UEFA-Pokal qualifiziert. In der 1. Runde spielte er gegen den FC Basel aus der Schweiz. Nachdem das Hinspiel zu Hause mit 0:2 verloren ging, überraschte das Team im Rückspiel und führte nach 90 Minuten mit 2:0. In der Verlängerung gelang dem FC Basel der entscheidende Anschlusstreffer zum 1:2, womit Malatyaspor ausschied.
In derselben Saison gewann Malatyaspor das Viertelfinale des Fortis Türkiye Kupası gegen Galatasaray Istanbul mit 2:1 und zog in das Halbfinale ein, scheiterte dort aber am späteren Pokalsieger Trabzonspor mit 0:3. Die Saison wurde mit dem 5. Platz in der Süper Lig abgeschlossen.

Freier Fall
In der Saison 2005/2006 erreichte Malatyaspor nur den 16. Platz in der türkischen Süper Lig und stieg in die zweitklassige Bank Asya 1. Lig ab. Die Saison 2008/2009 beendete Malatyaspor auf dem letzten Tabellenplatz der zweithöchsten Liga und stieg in die  TFF 2. Lig (dritthöchste Spielklasse) ab.

Ende September 2012 belegte das Disziplinar-Komitee der FIFA Malatyaspor mit einer vierjährigen Transfersperre. Grund dieser Sperre ist ein nicht ausgezahlter Spielergehalt an den tschechischen Fußballspieler Jiří Mašek. Dieser spielte in der Spielzeit 2005/06 für Malatyaspor.

Im Sommer 2012 stieg der Klub in die Malatya 1. Amatör Ligi, der sechsthöchsten türkischen Spielklasse ab. In dieser Liga beendete die Mannschaft die Qualifikationsrunde mit einem 13-Punkte-Vorsprung als Tabellenerster und qualifizierte sich so für die Playoffs der Liga. Die Playoffs beendete die Mannschaft allerdings als Tabellenletzter und verfehlte so den Aufstieg in dine Bölgesel Amatör Lig. In die nächste Saison der Malatya 1. Amatör Ligi startete der Verein denkbar schlecht und kämpfte bis zum letzten Spieltag der Qualifikationsrunde um den sicheren Klassenerhalt. Die Tabellen beendete die Mannschaft als Vorletzter und musste deswegen in einer dreier Play-Out-Runde gegen den Abstieg spielen.

Western medical theory and practice came to China in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries through the efforts of missionaries and the Rockefeller Foundation. Although the practice of traditional Chinese medicine was strongly promoted by the Chinese leadership and remained a major component of health care, Western medicine gained increasing acceptance in the 1970s and 1980s. Public health, ironically, constituted one of the few unqualified successes of Maoism in China as reported by US News in this article.
Although Chinese medical schools that provided training in Western medicine also provided some instruction in traditional medicine, relatively few physicians were regarded as competent in both areas in the mid-1980s. The goal of China's medical professionals is to synthesize the best elements of traditional and Western approaches. The two biggest problems that Chinese healthcare faces is the disparity between urban and rural care, and the sheer size of the healthcare system needed. The Chinese government has spent $125 billion over the past three years to extend insurance coverage to 95% of the population while also improving access to hospitals and clinics. Forbes reports that private money is pouring into China at an impressive rate with many companies building private hospitals and clinics. Even with the thousands of years of history of healthcare in China, the Chinese healthcare system is still extremely young and developing. Ryan McFolin will soon get up to answer his friend's phone call, but for now he sits on an arm chair with a cloth bag full of Japa mala, or Hindu prayer beads, in his right hand.
In April and May 2012, Ryan appeared in The Tennessean with a case heartbreaking to many—he had failed his first two attempts at passing the Algebra Gateway and if he didn't make the cut the final time, he couldn't graduate with a high school diploma.
He is now a 19-yr-old freshman at Volunteer State Community College, one of 19 colleges that were interested in accommodating a student with his special needs. In traditional Chinese medicine, elements, organs and virtues combine in a circle of health and creativity. Ryan was told of his second failure on the Gateway just minutes before having to take his end-of-semester Algebra exam in December. The Medical Qigong benefits came quickly. Within three meditation sessions of three hours each, Wood had shown father and son how to breathe correctly and calm their nervous systems.
Chinese Medical Qigong dates back thousands of years and remains a common practice among Eastern cultures.
Proper breathing, according to Wood, relies on the ability to breathe fully through the abdomen and out through the nose. Fight or flight is a response regulated by the sympathetic nervous system that puts the body in an alarmed state—sweating palms, increased heart rate and lack of oxygen to the brain occur, which impairs the ability to focus and recall information. His father adamantly believes the Eastern energetic work and Medical Qigong benefits helped his son the most.
Among all the pictures of Ryan on McFolin's studio wall, a third-grade multiplication test with an A+ hangs in the middle. Learn the basic theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the proper skills and applications of cupping massage. On a deeper level, the cups are strategically placed over certain acupoints based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, thereby stimulating specific organ function. A plane has reportedly crashed into a home in the Chicago suburb of Plainfield on Thursday, officials said. For example, the number of physicians and pharmacists trained in Western medicine reportedly increased by 225,000 from 1976 to 1981, and the number of physicians' assistants trained in Western medicine increased by about 50,000.
The extent to which traditional and Western treatment methods were combined and integrated in the major hospitals varied greatly. Bloomberg reports that China's healthcare spending may hit 1 trillion dollars in 2020. But despite that effort, the country's health-care system still has a long way to go to and the challenges ahead are mounting according to this article from the WSJ. His dad, sitting on the adjacent living room couch surrounded by numerous of his own paintings, recalls the stressful past few months. Ryan has Asperger's syndrome, typically characterized by the ability to lose focus easily and have extreme difficulty learning one subject area while excelling in another. Ryan was a member of the National High School Honor Society in ninth grade and traveled to Australia with the Ambassador program in high school. McFolin sued the Board of Education in April for not giving special needs students a different set of graduation criteria more compliant to their learning disabilities. He is certain he will not need algebra to become a history professor and is sure others feel the same way. He did pass his course—but in a few more months, he'd be given one last chance to prove himself as capable as any other student on the state standardized Gateway exam. He also taught them how to use the emotional healing technique, called "Open the Door – Remove the Thief" to release their toxic emotional energy, in this case fear, anxiety and doubt. The overall purpose of Medical Qigong is to rebalance the patient's energetic body through breath work and internal manipulation of the qi, or energy.
One way to realize this energetic force is to dangle a tea bag over the palms of your hands, being careful not to move the bag with the fingers that hold the string. He believes it was his prayers to Krishna, the "Supreme Person" and speaker of the Bhagavad-Gita, in combination with the tutors and Qigong that pulled him through. He said with glistening eyes, "That is what saved him." After one and a half hours in the room, Ryan left feeling good about the test.
The Federal Aviation Administration also told NBC Chicago there weren't any immediate reports of anyone on the ground injured. In 1981 there were reportedly 516,000 senior physicians trained in Western medicine and 290,000 senior physicians trained in traditional Chinese medicine. The payoff: Chinese life expectancy at birth increased by a quarter-century between the revolution and 1980—the most rapid improvement ever documented. In many respects, physicians trained in traditional medicine and those trained in Western medicine constitute separate groups with different interests. Such approaches are believed to be most effective in treating minor and chronic diseases, in part because of milder side effects.
Officials from the Ministry of Health and other departments of the government have acknowledged that problems in current healthcare system include inefficiency, high costs, corruption and poor service and that private investment can play a key role in solving these problems. Cupping creates a vacuum with the soft tissues which helps lift, separate and remove fascial restrictions.
This course offers fire cupping - the most beneficial, but also the most difficult form of cupping to master.
In most urban hospitals, the pattern seemed to be to establish separate departments for traditional and Western treatment. For instance, physicians trained in Western medicine have been somewhat reluctant to accept unscientific traditional practices, and traditional practitioners have sought to preserve authority in their own sphere. Traditional treatments may be used for more serious conditions as well, particularly for such acute abdominal conditions as appendicitis, pancreatitis, and gallstones; sometimes traditional treatments are used in combination with Western treatments. Michael Wood, Director of the International Institute of Medical Qigong in Nashville, contacted Don and offered to help him and his son deal with their anxieties using ancient Chinese techniques. A traditional method of orthopedic treatment, involving less immobilization than Western methods, continued to be widely used in the 1980s. Skilled Qigong practitioners have a strong energetic field that greatly increases the circumference of the circle as compared to those less experienced.
The instructors are doctors of TCM with years of clinical experience including internships in Chinese hospitals where cupping is a primary treatment for pain conditions.

Patrick Jones
178 ratings44 reviews
In "The Wolf's Moon", author Patrick Jones creates a spellbinding tale of an ancient animal that haunts the foothill towns of Missouri's Ozark Mountains. An unknown group of scientists has genetically engineered a Dire Wolf into the present day. Allegedly extinct, the ferocious beast preys upon the innocent people of Maple Hills.
To hunt and kill the beast, the town folk will have to rely on the tracking feats of Mark Lansdowne. He is a reluctant hero, still mourning the loss of his wife to illness. Relying on his rescue dogs and indefatigable hunting skills, Mark will set out on foot in search of the mysterious beast. Yet the hunter's personal history and romantic entanglements will come back to haunt him during his search for the vicious animal.
Accompanying him on the hunt is his pal Warren Skruggs, who knew Mark when he was known as Michael Linden, a chapter of his history that he prefer be kept to the past. Adding to the intrigue are two beautiful, intelligent women who aid the hunter in his quest. Their looks and smarts would make the Bond Girls envious but Mark is still a grieving widower, unsure of how to move forward.
With its mixture of high-stakes hunting and personal and romantic intrigue, "The Wolf's Moon" is a page-turner that will keep the reader captivated with its unexpected story twists.

The 2019 Treasure Trove - Tactical Chess closes out 2019
For a second week in a row we are looking at a world title bout from late in 2019 as he head to the Treasure Trove again, and bring you a very interesting bout. In fact this was the final world title bout of 2019 and is one we feel is very much an over-looked bout, which combined skills, heart, toughness and competitiveness. It was a bout that was very well fought, swung one way then the other, and saw both men having moments, with very, very different styles. Was it a Fight of the Year contender? No, was it a damn good bout? Hell yes!
Kazuto Ioka (24-2, 14) vs Jeyvier Cintron (11-0-0-1, 5)
Japan's Kazuto Ioka is one of the most accomplished fighters to ever come from the country. He is, at the time of writing, the only Japanese man to win world titles in 4 weight classes and is a genuine star in his homeland. The Osakan won the WBO Super Flyweight title in June, stopping Aston Palicte in another under-rated bout, and was making his first defense here as he took on his mandatory challenger. Although not too well known in the West, sadly, Ioka has managed to win titles from Minimumweight to Super Flyweight, and has a genuine who's who of lower weight fighters on his resume. He's beaten the likes of Oleydong Sithsamerchai, Akira Yaegashi, Felix Alvarado, Juan Carlos Reveco and McWilliams Arroyo, and has spent a huge chunk of his career fighting at the top. Although technically a well schooled fighter Ioka is a small Super Flyweight, he makes up for that however by being versatile and one of the best body punchers in the sport.
In the opposite corner to Ioka was talented Puerto Rican Jeyvier Cintron, a 2-time Olympian. The 24 year old Cintron was a wonderfully talented technical boxer, who looked like a natural Super Flyweight when compared to Ioka. He was big at the weight, very polished from his days as an amateur and a southpaw. In the eyes of some it was perhaps a bit too early for Cintron to get his shot, though he had earned it by beating Koki Eto in a title eliminator and he had also beaten the likes of Eliecer Quezada and Marvin Solano in the professional ranks. Although clearly a talented fighter this was seen as a big leap up in class, despite how good of an amateur he was, and this was to be his first bout at world level. He had travelled to Japan with a lot of self belief and seemed confident of upsetting the Japanese star.
From the opening moments it was clear that Cintron had the edge in speed, size and reach, and he was using his jab brilliantly to dictate the distance and tempo of the bout. Ioka was being coming forward but was struggling to cut the distance as Cintron began to show he was ready for this level of a bout. The challenger looked every bit a star in the making, whilst Ioka was quickly forced to change from trying to box with Cintron.
As we went through the early rounds Ioka managed to adapt. He moved from trying to box, to turning things into a fight, cutting the distance and working the body of Cintron. It was a needed change, and was something that managed to get Ioka a foot hold in the contest, something he was starting to need. The change in tactics not only got Ioka some control of the action but also began to see him slow Cintron, as the challenger had to dig deep and look to change his own tactics.
For those seeking tactical chess matches this is a real over-looked gem.

Since the Open Championship began in 1860, every era of golf has produced great players. Golf journalist Andy Farrell puts forward his suggestions for top 100 golfing icons, from the early Scottish professionals who pioneered the game, such as Old Tom Morris and his son, Young Tommy, through such 20th century golden greats as Bobby Jones, Babe Zaharias, Arnold Palmer and Seve Ballesteros, to the modern era of Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam, and the young pretenders of Yani Tseng and Rory McIlroy. Farrell has explored each golfer's achievements and personality, setting them in the context of their era, in a fascinating and thought-provoking volume.
An amusing and entertaining collection of stories seen through the eyes of a rookie caddy at a fictional -- or at least carefully disguised -- Scottish golf course not far from the hallowed St Andrews, of his own misadventures on and off the course and of the colourful characters who inhabit the caddy shack. McClure bluffs his way into the job after being caught by his wife in a compromising position with his secretary, and while the link between this episode and his becoming a caddy is not entirely clear the opportunity this offers him to acquire a rich fund of tales makes up for any gaps in the story.
A limited-edition luxury gift book containing spectacular photographs, including five-foot-wide fold-out panoramas of the best golf courses from the far reaches of Great Britain and Ireland. Stunning panoramic views by photographer David Cannon highlight the appeal of nearly 100 of the most extraordinary and historic golf courses, from the incomparable St Andrews to the spectacular heaths of Carnoustie in Scotland to glimpses of grazing sheep at Royal North Devon Golf Club. Features more than 300 sumptuous images that capture the exceptional union of nature and course design.
A retrospective to celebrate 150 years of Majors, a snapshot of sports history beginning in the mid-19th century with the first Open Championship. It tells the story from the birth of golf in Scotland, when the first professionals supplemted their meagre earnings by betting heavily on the outcome of their own events, to the modern day phenomenon of Tiger Woods, introducing the reader to every golfing superstar that emerged along the way. These are backed up by the complete results of every event as well as the records of every player who started a Major championship, to form a complete chronicle of the four great events.
The first detailed history written of the Royal Cinque Ports club, from its inception to the end of 2009, liberally illuminated with more than 160 photographs and other illustrations and including profiles of the 25 personalities author David L Dobby -- the club's archivist and historian -- considers to have had a significant bearing on its history. Published in a limited edition of 550 copies, 200 of them signed by the author, printed on 130gsm silk paper and bound in green Wibalin over 3mm boards with gold blocking to the spine.
With a foreword by Padraig Harrington and interviews with some of the games great golfers and architects (including Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell, Nick Faldo, Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman, Pat Ruddy and Martin Hawtree), 18 Greatest Irish Golf Holes features chapters on the country's very best golfing challenges, accompanied by images taken by renowned photographer John Kernick. The holes are selected by consensus, based on interviews not only with star names but with members, greenkeepers, aficionados and golf architects. A limited edition volume.
Another retrospective, brining together extracted reports, descriptions and essays on golf courses from the Golfing Annuals published between 1888 and 1910, including 13 folding maps, photographs of courses and biographies of players, amateur and professional, grouped with the relevant courses and with accompanying poems and verse. A limited edition 520-page book bound in green buckram and weighing 2kg.

Lombardi reveals love is not found in the stars
Hannah Schaffer, Science/International Editor|February 21, 2019
The stars aligned for some Allegheny students this year.
For one night every year, Allegheny's Astronomy Club transforms into the astrology club to help students find love.
"We are the astronomy club, but around Valentine's Day, we turn to the astrology club," said Diptajyoti Mukherjee, '19.
On Feb. 15, the astronomy club held its annual star-crossed lovers event in Carr Hall. Approximately 80 students who were looking for love attended the event.
Students could sign up as either a couple or as an individual looking to be placed on a blind date by the astronomy club board.
The board did not reveal the matches until the event began.
"It looked like a fun thing, and I want to try as many new things as possible," said Tanner Kolb, '22.
Prior to attending the event, students filled out a questionnaire that was comprised of a diverse set of questions ranging from their astrological sign to their least favorite song.
"We usually try to match people based on their horoscopes," Mukherjee said. "Sometimes that happens. Sometimes that doesn't happen."
Upon arrival, students were met with a table full of pizza, soda and snacks outside the Carr Hall Planetarium, with the wall beside the treats covered in paper hearts.
Half a heart was designated to each student. Students who signed up as a couple received a full heart with one of their names printed on each side. Students who signed up in hopes of finding love received half a heart that matched with someone else's half.
"I did it because I thought it would be an interesting way to spend a Friday night," said Kyle Dipofi, '22. "I'm nervous, but I'm always nervous."
Once students pulled their hearts from the wall, the mingling began. Participants spent about half an hour getting to know each other before heading into the planetarium.
Once inside, James Lombardi, associate professor of astronomy gave a presentation about astrology, but first, Lombardi asked students to raise their hands if they had never been inside the planetarium. Over half of the students who attended raised their hands.
Lombardi began the presentation by introducing the 13 zodiac constellations: Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Ophiuchus and Sagittarius.
Many people are familiar with the 12 zodiac signs, which excludes Ophiuchus.
Approximately 3,000 years ago, the Babylonians created the astrological calendar by first dividing the sky into 12 sections. Each section corresponds to a month of the calendar year. Then a constellation was assigned to each section.
In 2016, NASA announced the earth's axis has been gradually shifting since the Babylonians established the calendar. This shift has caused Ophiuchus, the 13th constellation, to now be part of the zodiac calendar.
Even though NASA announced this discovery, western astrology uses what are considered "artificial" constellations. Western astrology is based on the path of the sun, not the actual constellations.
Western astrology is based on what is known as the Tropical Zodiac. The Tropical Zodiac is a fixed system and therefore is unaffected by the shift in the earth's axis. Ophiuchus is recognized by astronomers, but rarely by astrologers since its discovery does not affect the zodiac calendar.
Lombardi presented an acronym to help students remember all the constellations: "All the great constellations live very long since (obviously) stars can't alter physics."
The first letter of each word matches with the first letter of the constellation, starting with Aries.
Then, Lombardi announced he was going to present the 12 horoscope readings. Instead, Lombardi pulled up a slide that read, "The stars and planets will not affect your life in anyway," as the horoscopes for each zodiac sign.
Lombardi then began to explain all of the zodiacs, giving presentations that included the dates, right ascension and symbol of each zodiac constellation.
Finally, Lombardi concluded the presentation by showing students what the constellations would look like from Allegheny.
Before the presentation ended, Lombardi shared a handful of different memes with students, reading sayings like, "You must be the sun because I can't stop orbiting around you."
The entire event concluded with a raffle drawing. Each student had been handed a raffle ticket as they entered the planetarium. Possible prizes included three astronomy club shirts, a constellation tapestry, a telescope and a women of NASA lego set.
"Dr. Lombardi's planetarium show is amazing, so it gives us a motivation for doing it every year," Mukherjee said.

Virtual City Casino is one of more than 100 Microgaming casinos. While some players may see that as a turn off ñ why join an online casino that is like 100+ others ñ Virtual City casino does not exactly fit the Microgaming mold. Launched in 2004, the online casino was designed to be explicitly unique, and aside from the standard network promotions (which are NOT a turn off, I must say), Virtual City Casino has certainly succeeded. And if you join by clicking our link, you'll be privy to a $10 no deposit bonus, plus 40% up to $40 welcome bonus on your first deposit at Virtual City Casino.
By aligning itself with Microgaming, Virtual City Casino is able to proffer its member with the largest online casino game variety in the world.

No element is lost in the mix as Microgaming focuses its attention on all major qualities, from graphics and speed to game play and compatibility.
Being the bedrock of the online casino software industry, there is one area we think Microgaming could improve on, and that is the introduction of a Mac-friendly casino download. In all the years online casinos have been operating, no software supplier has yet to put a 100% Mac-compliant download on the market. As the industry pioneer, Microgaming is the first company we should look to to take that next inevitable step.
On the bright side, since that hasnít happened yet and probably wonít for quite some time, we are happy to report the availability of a Flash casino at Virtual City Casino that is universally compatible with all major operating systems, Mac, PC and Linux included. As is always the case, the Flash-casino quality isnít quite as impeccable as the download version ñ the game variety is smaller and game speed a bit slower ñ but itís very well designed and perfectly enjoyable for the average online casino fan.
You canít beat the terrifically variegated selection of games at Virtual City Casino. Microgaming has more than 450 games on its menu and the number continues to rise with every passing month. There are over 200 ways to play the slots, with progressive jackpots, bonus slots, traditional reel slots and imaginatively themed video slots all available. There is no shortage of table games or card games either, and more than 50 options for video poker fans. Play for fun, play for real money, either way youíll never get tire of the enormous game variety at Virtual City Casino.
When you sign up through our web site, youíll start out your Virtual City Casino experience with $10 in free play credits without even making a deposit. The $10 no deposit bonus is perfect for identifying your favorite games and getting used to the casino platform.
From there, a first deposit of $100 or more will grant you another welcome bonus of $40 in free casino credits. This is a 40% up to $40 virtual City Casino bonus. Deposit $25, get $10; deposit $50 get $20, deposit $100 get $40. Wagering requirements for the bonus include 30x play-through.
Climbing the VIP ladder at Virtual City Casino will open the doors to many more no deposit bonuses and reload deposit bonuses. The more often you play, the more deposit and no deposit bonuses youíll become eligible for.
