The Caucasus Connection
At a radical mosque in Dagestan, alleged marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev is remembered by many worshippers—and the secret police. By Anna Nemtsova

The mosque on Kotrova Street in the capital of Dagestan is abuzz with passionate discussions. Here in the northern Caucasus, Muslim revolutionaries are fighting to break away from Russia and create a Salafi "emirate" akin to the caliphate yearned for by Al Qaeda. So people are used to talk about "terrorism." But they are not used to hearing it linked to words like "Boston" and "marathon." And they are trying to square what they're hearing now with their memories of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, the elder of the two brothers at the center of the atrocity in the United States, who was killed last Friday in a Boston suburb.
The men at the mosque on Kotrova Street saw a lot of Tsarnaev last summer and so, it appears, did the local security forces. The FSB, the successor to the KGB, allegedly even had a case file on him, according to one well-placed security source. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was dossier 1713. He was allegedly in the constant company of another Salafist, later killed, whom the FSB believed to have ties to the rebels in Caucasus. The Russian and Dagestani cops were allegedly "watching him closely for five months and three weeks," according to this source. (The Russians had asked the FBI to take a close look at Tsarnaev in 2011, but the FBI had found nothing on him that they thought worth pursuing.)
"We remember him well," says Shamil, a young Salafist at the mosque. "He impressed us, as he was from America." The Tsarnaev family hailed from Chechnya, in fact, but the boys, Tamerlan and 19-year-old Dzokhar, had never lived there, and they essentially grew up in the United States these past 10 years.
Tamerlan, a boxer who found it increasingly hard to fit in as an American, may well have been searching for his roots in the Caucasus. But in that process, he was discovering and hardening his ties to radical Islamists.
Every man in the group gathered outside the mosque after the afternoon prayer had his own story to tell about persecution at the hands of the Russian state—the same sorts of stories they told to Tamerlan.
"As a rule, special units come to arrest us during every special operation, and our brothers from the community disappear," says Said, a young man with a thick red beard. "Thirty-five people disappeared in 2007; they were kidnapped by special forces, by the 'national anti-terrorism committee.'" Another, older man with a dark, lined face pointed at his knees. "They use a drill on you right here to torture you," he said.
The mosque on Kotrova Street has gained a measure of fame around here. In the 1990s, many young believers from Dagestan went to study in Saudi Arabia. When they returned, many came to this small building with arched windows only a few blocks from the grimy Caspian beach.
Tsarnaev "seemed knowledgeable and serious," says Said, who is studying Islam at the university. But none of the men in the group outside the mosque could say why somebody like Tamerlan, with a young wife and little child, would want to destroy his own life with an attack like the one on Boston. None had any insights into the connection the brothers thought they might make between the suffering in the Caucasus and the festive crowd they attacked at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Patriots' Day.
"I do not believe that the story is so simple," says Kheda Saratova, a Chechen human rights activist who came from Grozny, the Chechen capital, to investigate. She has hired a lawyer for Tsarnaev's father, who is now living in Dagestan and has stopped giving interviews. "The parents complain that both the FSB and the FBI framed their children," says Saratova. "One brother was killed. The other was shot in his neck. He cannot talk—it sounds too convenient."
But many members of the Tsarnaev family make no excuses for the brothers. "I am so ashamed of the boys," says Abdurashid Patakhov, one of their mother's cousins. "How could they get so radicalized in the USA? Why would they kill Americans, if America gave them a free education?
"This is a big trouble for our family," says Patakhov. "We are afraid of talking because tomorrow we might disappear."

Ticker (Fight in the Dog in association with United Agents)
By Daisy Malt | Published on Saturday 10 August 2019
Spencer sits in a cafe, smartly dressed, but sporting a black eye. He's there, he tells us, to meet his girlfriend, Gabi, who he is madly in love with, and proceeds to fill us in, drawing a detailed portrait of Gabi's character and of their relationship. Along the way, he introduces us to more of his friends and family in the same way, each depicted with their own distinct voices and personalities. As Spencer begins to unravel, it's apparent that all is not well. Written and performed by Fringe regular Tom Machell, 'Ticker' is excellently presented with simple but effective staging, and offers a truly arresting exploration of grief, mental health and toxic masculinity, balanced by dark humour and punctuated by unexpected twists that keep you guessing.

Scholarship & Internship
Why are we measuring AQI?
Our AQI is a index measuring the pollution of ambient air with particulate matter, based on US standards. It provides a simple guide to levels of air pollution that the World Health Organization (WHO) classifies on a scale from "good" and "moderate through "unhealthy" to even "hazardous".
Since opening up in 2011, Myanmar has experienced rapid development. While this development has had a great positive impact on many people as wages are higher, electricity is more constantly supplied and many people can buy things they could not have afforded before, air quality in Yangon has worsened and often exceeds levels recommended by the WHO, as different studies have shown.
Especially the huge influx of cars and industry has caused the air to be a lot more polluted than it used to be a few years ago. As more and more trees have to give way for streets, the city also loses its capacity to filter CO2 out of the air. If these trends continue, Yangon will share the same fate as all those cities in which wearing a mask is the only way to stay healthy – and sometimes, not even that is enough.
How does Yangon rank in comparison with other cities?
There is a general belief that Yangon air quality is relatively good compared with heavily polluted cities like New Delhi, Katmandu or Beijing. This is true but only to an extent, Especially during the rainy season, Yangon's AQI is usually within the bounds deemed "good" by the American AQI scale. On average, however, they still exceed WHO limits because during rush hour, pollution spikes up dramatically. And during winter, the AQI frequently reaches "unhealthy" levels that should be of concern to everybody – they are as bad (or even worse) as in Bangkok or Chiang Mai.
Our own monitoring station is set in a residential area located between Pyay Road and Insein Road, and it often shows AQI values that are of health concern. Yangon's main roads experience an even greater pollution and thus pose a greater health risk, as has been shown by EcoLab. For a broader overview of air pollution in different parts of the world, one can find maps at https://waqi.info/ or at https://openaq.org/. For technical reasons, we cannot yet integrate our data into these maps which is why they do not show any data for Myanmar. However, comparisons show that Myanmar has some of the worst air pollution in the world which has also been shown by other studies. For example, in terms of air quality, Myanmar ranks 171 of 180 in the Environmental Performance Index, rendering it one of the worst countries in the world in this respect.
What exactly is AQI?
An Air Quality Index (AQI) is an aggregate measure of different indices like PM2.5, PM10 (see below) and others. There is no universally recognized AQI, as each country has set its own standards. In our measurement, we refer to the US and the Indian AQI. The US scale considers an AQI between 0 and 50 as good, whereas the Indian scale additionally sees measures of up to 100 as satisfactory.
What is PM10?
PM10 particles have a diameter of less than 10 micrometers. These are considered the most important for measuring air quality as they are small enough to reach the lungs, settle there and cause respiratory problems. PM10 particles consist of dirt and dust from factories and roads, smoke as well as pollen. In India, levels of up to 100 µg/m3 are considered satisfactory whereas the WHO sets the boundary at 20 µg/m3 as a yearly average.
Particles called PM2.5 have a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers and are thus more than 100 times thinner than human hair. PM2.5 mainly stems from burned fuel, so cars are a main emitter of PM2.5. Other sources include heating (burning of wood and coal), cigarette smoking and chemical reactions of fumes emitted by power plants. As PM2.5 particles are smaller than PM10 particles, they can stay in the air for longer and penetrate the lungs deeper. This is why PM2.5 particles are generally more dangerous than PM10 particles. For a yearly average, the WHO considers 10 µg/m3 as safe, whereas in India, up to 60 µg/m3 are considered satisfactory.
What are the health impacts?
The effects on human health are manifold and reach from immediate effects like coughing, sneezing and sore eyes to long-term harm in the form of cancer, brain damage and lower lung volume. Especially at risk are children, old people and people suffering from asthma. Indirectly, bad air even renders sports harmful to health as the deep breathing leads to increased particle inhalation which can exacerbate health risks.
In Myanmar, it is estimated that 20,000 lives are lost due to the effects of air pollution each year. The WHO also stated that air pollution is the major cause of death in all non-communicable deaths in Myanmar.
How reliable are our data?
Although we do not use a research-grade measuring system, comparisons have shown that our system reflects a high degree of accuracy. We compared our data with the data from ALARM EcoLab, who measured air quality in Yangon at different points over the last three years. Measuring PM2.5, we found an average deviation of 3.4 points and measuring PM10, we found an average deviation of 6.3 points. Considering that the US scale classifies PM2.5 values of up to 12 and PM10 values of up to 54 as "good," this shows that our data are highly reliable.
What does the government do? Are there other air quality data available?
On numerous occasions, the Myanmar and the Yangon government have claimed to collect data and to release them at some point in the future. However, as far as we are aware, no such data are being published yet on a regular basis and thus there is no official documentation on this problem.
Since recently, Purple Air provides air quality data from Yangon online.
What can I do to protect myself?
As there is no way around breathing air, ways to avoid pollution are limited. Of course, we can walk in quiet streets instead of on the main roads and we can also wear breathing masks. Within buildings, air purifiers are commercially available, but will only serve those who can afford them. In order to breathe cleaner air, we have to contribute to freeing the air from pollution.
What can I do for cleaner air?
Even individually, one can do something. As a lot of urban air pollution stems from cars, take a walk or ride a bike whenever possible. Public transport is also an option. Although busses might exhale a lot of fumes, imagine how much gas the thirty cars would blow in the air if all of the bus riders were to take their own car. If there are no buses where you live, use car-sharing. Ask friends, colleagues and neighbors to share a ride to and from work – even if that means you have to walk the last five minutes.
Apart from traffic itself, in our everyday life we can do our part to reduce pollution. Waste burning largely contributes to pollution, so avoid waste whenever you plan, especially in the form of plastic bags and wrapping. Smoking cigarettes is also not only a health risks for smokers but also causes a large number of deaths among non-smokers in Myanmar. Also, as power plants (especially those burning coal and diesel) contribute to pollution as well, saving power is also a way to contribute to cleaner air. Switch off lights, air cons and computers whenever you don't need them. And lastly: raise awareness about air pollution. Get a measurement station and publicize the data if you can.
Then, there is need for political action, and people can put pressure on government to act: by expanding public transport services, by more strictly enforcing rules for polluting industries (for example companies operating coal-fired boilers of which we believe there are at least a hundred in Yangon), by restricting the burning of refuse in open air etc.
Although we do not use a research-grade measuring system, comparisons have shown that our system reflects a high degree of accuracy. We compared our data with unpublished data from ALARM EcoLab, who have measured air quality in Yangon at different points over the last three years. Measuring PM2.5, we found an average deviation of 3.4 points and measuring PM10, we found an average deviation of 6.3 points. Considering that the US scale classifies PM2.5 values of up to 12 and PM10 values of up to 54 as "good" this shows that our data are highly reliable.

The countdown is on to Ireland's sci-tech extravaganza, Inspirefest 2017
News > The countdown is on to Ireland's sci-tech extravaganza, Inspirefest 2017
Featured Article 26 May 2017
In its third year, Inspirefest is expected to welcome people from across the world to Dublin to discuss some of the latest and greatest technologies from a perspective of inclusion and diversity.
Taking place between 6 and 8 July, more than 50 speakers from 15 countries are on the schedule, specialising in topics including blockchain, fintech, medtech, infosec, AI, robotics, the future of work and STEM pedagogy for a new landscape.
Schedule now released
Again this year, the collision of technology and the arts will be tackled, as Other Voices founder Philip King will be teaming up with engineers from Nokia Bell Labs to create a special performance to close the first day of the conference at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre.
Ana Matronic of Scissor Sisters fame will also be on hand to offer her unique view on robot storytelling and the shape of AI to come.
The official launch of Inspirefest took place last month at Bank of Ireland's StartLab in Grand Canal Square, with a small selection of the speakers and sponsors waxing lyrical about the event.
Most importantly, the event schedule has been released, so attendees can get a sense of what each day has to offer.
"We're just delighted to see the event go from strength to strength," said Inspirefest founder Ann O'Dea.
"From day one, we wanted to show that a tech event that put diversity and inclusion at its heart would actually be far more dynamic and innovative than traditional events. The feedback suggests we've succeeded."
One-of-a-kind event
Bank of Ireland hosted the evening, with David Tighe, head of innovation, saying: "Following on from the success of last year, Inspirefest has really developed into something truly special in the STEM calendar and, as a result, become one of the leading science and arts conferences in Europe.
"For us at Bank of Ireland, the focus on inclusion and diversity at Inspirefest is key, and how they showcase the fantastic role models working in STEM to us all."
Accenture will also be playing a major part at Inspirefest, with its managing director and head of inclusion and diversity for Ireland, Dr Michelle Cullen, describing it as a one-of-a-kind event.
"We are thrilled to be a part of Inspirefest again this year," she said.
"We are at a point where organisations must truly innovate to be relevant for the future, and inclusion and diversity drives innovation in all areas of a business."
In addition to the talks, each evening of the event will be topped off with a Fringe festival of banter, music and culture, hosted in the salubrious surroundings of the Facebook and Airbnb offices.
Meanwhile, the popular Family Fringe event returns on Saturday, 8 July, with exhibitions and workshops on everything from space exploration to coding. There will also be a mini Dublin Maker at The Dock, Accenture's multidisciplinary research and incubation hub at 7 Hanover Quay.

There are all kinds of youth groups, ones that focus more on the fun, ones that are very serious and only focus on the Bible, ones that combine fun and Biblical principles, etc. Yet, how do you know what type of church youth group will work for you?
First and foremost, you want to belong to a church youth group that shares the same belief system as you. Investigate youth groups within your denomination, so that you feel comfortable with what is being preached and how the Word is being presented. At FBC, our goal is for each teen to be a part of a caring group, connecting them to God by a personal relationship with Jesus, caring adults and other believers. Following Jesus' Great Commission to make disciples, we want to help them to grow in their faith and to teach them to discover the unique gifts that God has given them, so that they will honor God with their lives, by developing a personal ministry that they can give their lives away in Jesus' name.
What does it mean that a youth group is invested in you? As Christian teens, you still have a lot of spiritual growth in front of you, and your church and youth group should be focused on helping you grow both spiritually, emotionally, and developmentally. Basically you want a youth group that offers you activities that do more than just allow you to play games. You should know your youth group has both a focus on God while also allowing you to be social and have some fun. That's what being a teenager is about...growing in all kinds of ways. You should choose a youth group that meets you where you are in your own spiritual walk and offers you a chance to grow and quite simply "Be a Teen". At FBC we believe our youth is our future and we invest heavily in them. FBC Youth is a very active youth group that participates in a wide variety of activites including study groups, camps, retreats, community services, etc.
Now, all kinds of activities and studies can be good, but only if you are going to get something out of them. Make sure that the services and activities are geared toward your own interest. This will make being a part of your church youth group more of a joy and far less of a chore. At FBC our youth love to be together and experience what life has to offer together.
So how does Franklin Baptist's youth group fit?
Pretty simple really...At FBC Youth Ministry we learn, laugh, grow, praise, love, play and serve together. We live in fellowship and respect and will hold each other accountable to God's word. Come and be a part of a great group of youth searching for their place in God's kingdom. Find your place here at FBC Youth!
Dustin (27) and Flora Dupre (26). Children are Elouise (6), Ben (3), and Julia (1). We have been married for 7 years. We are followers of Christ, Husband and wife, and seek to be God honoring and discipling parent of our three children. I am a graduate of Piedmont International University in Winston Salem, B.S. in Health and Physical Education. Flora is a hardworking and dedicated homeschool mom.
Flora and I have been in youth ministry for about 9 years. We love being involved in teenagers lives and are grateful for the opportunity to serve at FBC. We are big fans of small groups and cherish the one on one opportunities with teens when they come. Our goal is to display sacrificial Christ-like living so the teens can see that Christianity, a life in Christ, is a real lifestyle that is preeminent in every aspect of our day. We teach that our minds are in need of daily renewal which is accomplished by meditation on God's Word, and that the Church, the body of Christ, is a vital part of our life. Our philosophy is to used by God to disciple teens, who will in turn disciple others. Personal Note: I was born and raised in Kenner, LA and moved to NC when I was 13. We are lovers of sports, traveling, technology, and the outdoors.
We have lots of fun with special events, retreats, mission trips, volunteering in the community, and more. We would love for you to join us and see what FBC youth is all about!
"Leading people to experience a dynamic personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to share that commitment in their world..."

SINGAPORE – Singapore Airlines reclaimed its bragging rights as operator of the world's longest flight last week as it relaunched nonstop service between Singapore and Newark Liberty International Airport near New York City.
Singapore Airlines previously held the crown with the same route until 2013, when it was canceled. Now, with new Airbus A350s in its fleet, Singapore is back on the route. It launched the service Thursday with the first flight from Singapore.
On Friday, the inaugural nonstop departure for Singapore left from Newark. The aircraft and its 161 passengers completed the 9,535-mile route about an hour quicker than its 18-hour, 30-minute scheduled time.
Now that it's back, the new Singapore-Newark flight shaves hours off most of the current connecting options for flights between Singapore and the New York City area.
It's a welcome change for regulars of the route like Bill Rosenthal, a publishing executive from New York City. Rosenthal began flying the route back in 2006 during Singapore Airlines' previous run on the route that ended in 2013. Rosenthal says he's lost count of how many times he's done it, but he estimates he averages three to four visits per year.
When Singapore discontinued the route, he went back to Singapore's longer, one-stop option that goes via Frankfurt, Germany.
"It's so much easier to get on the plane in New York, sit for a really long time, and then walk off the plane in Singapore," he said as the flight ticked into its 14th hour somewhere over Chengdu, China. "I'll go right back to taking this flight on a regular basis," he added.
What's the world's longest regularly schedule airline flight? Singapore will take the title in October, but these are the world's 25 longest (by miles) in the schedules for June 2018.
While the flight was comprised of mostly business travelers like Rosenthal and media, there was no shortage of "avgeek"-types on the plane, too. Their reason for taking the flight? Because they could.
Nestled in the very last row of the airplane, Philip Lewis had an elaborate video setup.
Lewis flew in from England just for the flight, taking another Singapore Airlines flight from Manchester, England, to Houston before flying to Newark.
It was a huge roll of the dice, considering that Lewis wasn't 100% positive that his row would even have a window. "It made me a bit nervous," he said.
But luck came through for Lewis. Not only did he get his window, his seat was one of a handful that stood alone by itself in the very rear of the premium economy cabin. It even came with its own storage area that, as it turned out, was perfectly situated for the tripod.
The camera had been dutifully rolling since the aircraft pushed back over 16 hours ago.
"Hopefully it will be enough," he said.

Of course, time isn't the only superlative on Friday's flight, the return flight of Singapore Airlines' relaunch of its record-setting Singapore-Newark route.
On board are 35 bottles of champagne and 60 bottles of wine – 30 red and 30 white, according to Singapore Airlines Food and Beverage Director Anthony McNeil, who's also a chef.
In total, over two tons of catering and catering equipment was loaded onto the airplane, said McNeil.
While much of that weight is glassware and china, the rest is from all the food and beverage necessary to support a massive onboard menu.
Business-class menus offered choices between sous-vide cooked beef fillets with mushroom cream sauce, baked cheese-herb crusted halibut and an oriental chicken noodle soup, among others. Appetizers, two dessert choices, a fruit and cheese cart, and coffee and tea service rounded out the dining options.
Premium economy offered choices between pan-fried fish in a Thai curry sauce, braised beef with roasted garlic and herb roasted chicken breast. And, just as in business class, flyers could choose among appetizers, desserts, bread, and coffee and tea service.
And in both cases, that's just what's available for lunch. Dinner, served around the 12-hour mark, was equally as extensive.

And then, of course, there's snacking.
According to McNeil, this meant offering more than just potato chips and chocolate bars. Instead, he says the carrier opted for more substantive and healthy items like noodle bowls, soups and sandwiches.
"Often times, the snacks fulfill a gap in the schedule, so when you look at the clock and there's still 10 hours to go and you want something different to do rather than watch a movie, dining provides you a little bit of a release from the flight as well," he said.
In total, McNeil said there were 480 different meal combinations offered on the flight.
"We have people that want to eat really simply, and we've got people that want to eat big filets and have a beautiful glass of wine," said McNeil. "We need to cover a broad spectrum of passengers flying," he said.
On this particular flight on this particular airplane – the new "Ultra long-range" variant of the Airbus A350 – there are only 161 passengers aboard. In part to save weight, the airline installed only 67 business-class seats and 94 premium economy seats. There is no economy.
Both cabins feature large TV screens that can access 1,200 hours of content, 200 more than normal Singapore flights. They also all have in-seat power, Wi-Fi, USB ports, storage and small amenity kits.
Business class, however, has the added bonus of full lie-flat seating.

It is quite the journey for the crew, as well. Seventeen total crew members share the time, split between four pilots and 13 crew.
For Friday's lead pilot, Capt. Indranil Ray Chaudhury, the Newark inaugural was almost too good to be true.
The route, which on Friday took the aircraft within miles of the North Pole, presents some unique challenges for the pilots.
"As soon as you enter the polar route, you have to fly on true heading," said Chaudhury. While pilots often use magnetic headings to determine location and direction, magnet-based compasses will often produce erratic, unpredictable results in the polar regions.
There's also the question of where you can land the airplane in the event of an emergency. With nothing but sea ice and remote Arctic islands, there isn't much to choose from. Typically, twin-engine jets are approved to divert only to airports up to 180 minutes (three hours) away. But the sheer remoteness warrants the need to extend that to airports up to 240 minutes away.
"You need special approval from the regulators," said Chaudhury.
In fact, the flight often passes so far away from civilization that the airline installed a specialized closet just in case someone passes away before the crew can land.
Fear not, though; the airline says it has yet to be put into use.

It is not the first time the two cities have been connected. Singapore flew the route starting in 2004, making it the undisputed long-haul king. The flights were operated with the Airbus A340-500, then one of the only airplanes capable of flying such a distance. While regulars of the route loved it, the jet's four gas-guzzling engines and very limited passenger load of only about 100 made it financially unsustainable. Singapore canceled the route in November 2013.
But the introduction of Airbus' new two-engine A350-900 "ULR" made the resumption of the route possible.
The jet is technically a derivative, or sub-species, if you will, of Airbus' already popular A350 line of aircraft. The wide-body jet was first delivered in 2014, designed with long-haul flying in mind. Currently offered in two major models, the -900 and the -1000, the jets carry between 250 and 350 passengers, depending on how each airline chooses to configure them. The ULR variant is based off the A350-900.
Both are made of lightweight composite materials and use the latest in engine technology.
Airbus says passengers will notice the aircraft's wide cabins, high ceilings and extra-large windows.
"You'll notice the quieter cabin as soon as you take off," Airbus spokesperson Sean Lee said during a pre-flight interview.
Lee says the cabin is five decibels quieter on average, compared to competing aircraft.
"This makes it easier to relax or sleep without the need for noice-canceling headphones or ear-plugs," said Lee.
In addition, the jet's carbon-fiber composite build enables airlines to set the cabin altitude to the equivalent of 6,000 feet – more comfortable to humans than the equivalent of 8,000 feet found on most airplanes. The result means more humidity inside the cabin, leaving flyers feeling less dry and worn out during – and after – a long flight.
There also are the changes that the passengers won't notice.
Airbus says the jet carries an extra 6,300 gallons of fuel over its standard A350 jet, good for an impressive total of about 43,500 gallons.
Other changes, including extending the jet's wingtips, help eke out every last ounce of performance.
The changes result in a jet that is capable of flying up to 11,100 statute miles and staying aloft for more than 20 hours, making the resumed Singapore-Newark flight possible for the plane.
At present, Singapore is the only airline to have ordered the ULR variant of the A350, with seven on order. But Airbus' Lee says several other airlines are considering the aircraft.
As more of the specialized airplanes enter Singapore's fleet, the airline will use the jet to relaunch another U.S. route – Singapore-Los Angeles – in November. That flight will be a comparatively short 8,770 miles.
Both routes are the latest salvos in what has become the era of the ultra-long-haul flight. Qatar Airways last year launched what has now fallen to the second-longest flight on earth, a 9,032-mile connection between Doha, Qatar, and Auckland, New Zealand. Qantas claims third place with its new, 9,010-mile journey between Perth, in western Australia, and London. That service began earlier this year, the first-ever regularly scheduled airline flight to operate nonstop between Australia and Europe.
As long flights have proliferated, routes now don't even break the top 10 without flying about 8,400 miles – roughly 16 hours of flight time.
For all the hoopla of the Newark-Singapore relaunch, however, none of today's top-10 longest routes have yet to hold a candle to the longest scheduled nonstop flights in history, at least when measured by time.
That record was set 61 years ago in 1957, says John Hill, assistant director of the SFO Museum in San Francisco.
"Pan American Airways started nonstop West Coast–Europe service with the Douglas DC-7C in 1957," he said, a distance that was otherwise unheard of at the time.
TWA followed not long after with the Lockheed L-1649 Starliner, flying nonstop between San Francisco and London. The flight time remains the undisputed record, often exceeding 23 hours, said Hill.
While elaborate meals and ample space were common in that era of air service, it wasn't always a pleasant ride. Unable to fly as high as today's jetliners, long-range aircraft of the day often had to fly through rough weather – instead of over it – making for a bumpy ride. Add in four large piston engines, and those planes also were much noisier.
But even then, there was an option to upgrade. The cost to upgrade to a fully reclining sleeper seat? A whopping $50 – or about $437 when adjusted for inflation – on the Pan American flights, according to Hill.

Liverpool vs Everton Betting Tips (02/12/18) – Reds Must Find Spark Ahead of Merseyside Meeting
Admin - November 29, 2018 - Match Previews
There were all sorts of shenanigans going on that may or may not have influenced the outcome of the game, but the reality was that Liverpool were thoroughly outplayed by PSG in Wednesday's 1-2 defeat in Paris.
The French champions raced into a two-goal lead, and it's always going to be a tough ask to turn that sort of scoreline around against a side of this class.
James Milner did pull one back from the penalty spot on the stroke of half-time following Angel di Maria's wild lunge on Sadio Mane – the referee initially gave a corner, in one of a number of bizarre decisions made on the night – but otherwise we could not find a way through, with our usual attacking spark notable by its absence.
Occasionally the situations in group-based tournaments gets quite complicated as they reach their conclusion, but the concept is very simple now in Group C of the Champions League: Liverpool have to beat Napoli at Anfield to progress. Nothing else will do….
Wednesday night was not ideal preparation for Sunday afternoon: we 'welcome' Everton to Anfield for the first derby of the campaign.
You can throw the formbook out of the window for this one: who wants it more will be the defining factor of what will surely be 90 minutes of madness on Merseyside.
We approach this latest battle with the Toffees with slight trepidation having witnessed the April meeting between the sides.
You may recall that game taking place in-between the two legs of our Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City.
Jurgen Klopp gave preferential treatment to the continental fixtures – fair enough, perhaps – and made five changes to his usual starting eleven. The likes of Mo Salah and Andy Robertson were left out of the squad for that drab 0-0 draw, while Roberto Firmino, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were dropped to the bench.
What followed was a disjointed performance featuring the likes of Danny Ings, Dominic Solanke and Ragnar Klavan, and we really do hope that Klopp has learned his lesson and fields his strongest available starting eleven here. The fans won't tolerate another sub-par setting against the neighbours from across Stanley Park.
Jordan Henderson is suspended and so he won't take part, while the only other injuries/illnesses to the readily available squad are fringe players: Lallana, Origi and Solanke.
The manager simply has to field what is, right now, our best eleven. Nothing else will do.
Everton Form
There is a feeling that Everton are something of the flat-track bully.
The likes of Cardiff, Fulham, Southampton and Crystal Palace have all tasted defeat against Marco Silva's side, who coincidentally (or not) are four of the bottom five in the Premier League.
But match the Toffees against the elite outfits in the division and they typically come unstuck: defeats against Arsenal and Manchester United followed by a tepid 0-0 draw with Chelsea.
And so if we took the local derby aspect away, Liverpool would be a red hot favourite to claim all three points.
Everton struggled to a 1-0 win over Cardiff at Goodison last time out, dominating possession but rarely threatening the Bluebirds' goal with anything meaningful.
Liverpool vs Everton Betting Tips
Given their struggles against the top six sides and a winless streak against Liverpool that now stretches to 18 games, you wouldn't be rushing out to back Everton here, would you?
Nearly half of all Everton's recent goals – six of thirteen – have come from Gylfi Sigurdsson, and so it's not beyond the pale to suggest that if we can keep him quiet then the Toffees will offer very little going forward.
They particularly don't score many away from home (seven in six), which suggests Silva tweaks his tactics to make his side more solid on their travels.
Enough about them, what about us? PSG aside, we've been in decent enough nick of late, and the stats suggest that we will win this match without conceding: our league record at Anfield reads W5 D1 L0, with just one goal shipped.
And so punters have two choices: back the Reds to Win to Nil at a handsome price of 7/5, or instead opt for a Liverpool -1 handicap – which allows us to concede without ruining the selection – at 11/10.
The bookmakers' pricing of Sadio Mane in the Anytime Goalscorer market continues to amaze; he has already netted six in half-a-dozen league outings this term. That makes his 7/5 price excellent value as far as we're concerned.

Pay Band: 6
Duration: Fixed Term (till December 2020)
Report to: Operations Manager
The Programme Officer will be responsible for managing the technical delivery and administration of programme outputs to ensure quality and timeliness of delivery; good control of resources and compliance with agreed programme management systems and processes; ensuring workplans, budgets and forecasts are prepared and implemented; and facilitate collection and collation of data for Monitoring and Evaluation of results and lessons of the programme.
Geopolitical/SBU/Function Overview
The British Council in Nigeria is implementing the European Union Managing Conflict in North East Nigeria (MCN) programme under their Trust Fund (EUTF) and the Rule of Law and AntiCorruption programme in Nigeria and Agents for Citizen-Drivern Transformation (ACT) Programme under the EU Development Fund programme (EUDF).
In partnership with COFFEY, we are delivering the Policing work under their Conflict Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) and are managing the Programme Coordination Office for DFID's Deepening Democracy in Nigeria Phase 2 (DDiN2) Programme.
To support our existing contracts as well as future contracts, we are developing flexible structures that meet the global British Council standards to provide support to our FCR (Justice, Security and Conflict) work in Nigeria.
Programme (2017-2021) has the overall aim of enhancing state and community level conflict management capability to prevent the escalation of conflict into violence and help mitigate the impact of violence on the most vulnerable population in a number of locations in North-Eastern Nigeria. The Programme has an annual turnover of around £5-£6m and works in 3 states – Adamawa, Borno and Yobe.
The Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption (RoLAC) programme in Nigeria is a €25m EUDF-funded Programme (2017-2021) and has the overall aim of enhancing good governance in Nigeria by contributing to strengthening of the rule of law, curbing corruption and reducing impunity. The programme has an annual turnover of around £5-£6m and work in 5 states – Adamawa, Anambra, Edo, Kano, Lagos, as well as in Abuja.
The Agents for Citizen-driven Transformation (ACT) programme is an EU funded programme under the 11th European Development Fund (EDF) and will be implemented over a period of five years from July 2018. The ACT programme will contribute to the progressive achievement of several of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as to the national development priorities identified in the Nigeria Vision 20:20 Economic Transformation Blueprint.
The Overall Objective of the programme is to contribute to more inclusive, effective, accountable and gender-responsive development in Nigeria; while its specific objectives is to enhance the credibility and role of CSOs as drivers of change for sustainable development in Nigeria. The programme has an annual turnover of around £3-£4m and will be implemented at the Federal level and in selected states where EU programmes concentrate.
The Nigerian context is generally challenging, having poor infrastructure and currently facing a volatile security situation. There is still a significant reliance on the cash economy, corruption is high and the regulatory and compliance structures that exist are highly ineffective. The current economic situation is not good with high levels of poverty, high unemployment, rising inflation and inequality.

The exploit, according to Vupen, "bypasses all security features."
InformationWeek reports that French vulnerability research firm Vupen has discovered a way to circumvent Google Chrome's heralded sandbox feature, which is designed to stop attackers from exploiting arbitrary code via the browser. The exploit, according to Vupen, "bypasses all security features."
Vupen has not provided specific details of the attack. According to Computerworld, a user could be tricked into visiting a maliciously coded website that would execute the exploit. The vulnerabilities were exploited using Chrome 11 running on a Windows 7 machine, using two different exploits.

Barbs bounce off US team golfer Reed
Melissa WoodsAAP
Tuesday, 10 December 2019 1:51PM
Camera IconTiger Woods and his US team get their first practice rounds at Royal Melbourne on Tuesday.
He may not carry a shield but expect barbs from raucous Presidents Cup golf crowds in Melbourne to bounce right off 'Captain America' Patrick Reed.
The world No.12 earned the comic book moniker for his success playing for Team USA in the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup and he may need to draw on some special powers at Royal Melbourne this week.
Reed got an early taste of what to expect when official play gets underway on Thursday when a cheeky fan introduced him on the first hole of his practice round as "The Excavator".
That was in reference to Reed's two-shot penalty for illegally improving his lie in a waste bunker during the World Challenge in the Bahamas last week.
Even his US teammate Justin Thomas trolled him, mimicking the shot during the round together.
The Texan took it in his stride.
"It was great - any time coming to an event like this, especially coming overseas, you expect to have the crowds against you, not on your side, so that's the name of the game," Reed said.
"To get the banter back and forth is awesome.
"I hope the fans aren't cheering for the US side - as an away team, you would expect the fans to be on the other side."
The International team have made him a target with South African Louis Oosthuizen saying it was a "stupid thing" and young Australian Cameron Smith described Reed's actions as "cheating".
The 2018 Masters champion denied he intentionally broke the rules and said his teammates accepted that.
US team captain Tiger Woods refused to be drawn on how much he will play Reed as the visitors look to extend their stranglehold on the event.
Players are required to play a minimum of two matches, which get underway with fourball contests on Thursday.
Woods on Tuesday downplayed the incident, saying they had spoken briefly and they had moved on.
"I think Pat will be fine," Woods said.
"Pat is a great kid.
"He's handled a tough upbringing well and I just think that he's one of our best team players, and that's one of the reasons why all the guys wanted him on the team."
Reed is likely to be paired with debutant Patrick Cantlay, with the duo previously playing together three times before in a team event in New Orleans.
World No.7 Cantlay, who said the incident had been "overblown", expected Reed to thrive under the extra pressure.
"He has a reputation for doing really well in match play and doing really well in those high-pressure situations, especially when there's some scrutiny on him, and that dates back all the way to college," Cantlay said.
Cantlay accepted that he would also likely be in the firing line if he was alongside Reed but didn't think it would prove a distraction.
"But yeah, it's part of the fun of team golf. We don't get it all the time. When you do get it, I feel like it's better to embrace it," he said.
"Once gun goes off on Thursday, I think it will just be golf."

Responding to the Lord's call to "build big people", Pastor Joel and MaryAnne Sadaphal started LIVING WORD in May of 1993. A small group of about 18 met in their home to worship, study the Word and pray for what the Lord had in store next. Within a week an opportunity to use the Travel Lodge Hotel at John F. Kennedy International Airport became available. On the following Sunday, Living Word had its first service, and would remain at the Travel Lodge for the next 5 months for its weekend worship services. That group of 18 would eventually become the church's founding members.
In October, the church was miraculously granted the use of its current facility and has been an integral part of its surrounding community through its various outreaches and ministries. To see the marvel of individuals move from believers to disciples, to witness someone's journey of becoming a fully committed disciple of Jesus is a testimony of the Father's Grace on this body of believers.
It may have started with Joel and MaryAnne and their young family (daughters Danielle and Stephanie) in 1993; however, today many have joined hands with them to make it happen each and every day. There exists as a result, a church that has and is impacting many lives and the region.
God is at work at Living Word and if you haven't visited, we invite you to see for yourself how exciting church can be when the focus is simple and people are free to go after God with passion!
