Guy Whittall was an aggressive middle-order batsman who could score useful runs, even centuries, at Test level, and a nippy medium-pace change bowler with the knack of taking useful wickets, besides being a very good outfielder with a fine throw. Originally selected for his batting, he developed into a useful seamer, combining away swing with nip off the pitch. At the age of 16 he was selected for the national schools side and scored a century in the Logan Cup (in its pre-first-class days) for Zimbabwe Schools against the Harare Central team. He made his first-class debut at the age of 18, and his Test debut against Pakistan shortly afterwards. He seemed to enjoy playing against Pakistan, making his first Test century in Zimbabwe's first Test win at Harare in 1995, and in 1998-99 completing a Test double hundred against them. His other highs included an unbeaten 188 against New Zealand in September 2000 and playing a key role in Zimbabwe's successful 1999 World Cup squad. After playing 46 Tests and 147 ODIs, including three World Cups, he announced his retirement in March 2003 to concentrate on his family's game-ranch business.

How Green Is the EU's Coronavirus Recovery Package?
The EU's coronavirus recovery package is much greener than that of China or the US. Brussels hopes that its partner-competitors follow its lead next year.
Source: European Environment Agency | Graph: Thorsten Kirchhoff
The EU and its member states are spending colossal sums to jumpstart their economies amid the coronavirus recession. How green are these spending packages?
Given the climate context, they arguably couldn't be green enough. The flames devouring the Northwestern United States and the waters flooding Karachi in Pakistan are visible signs of a world entering a crisis. Less visible is the fact that Arctic sea ice is approaching record lows. Petteri Taalas, the head of the World Meteorological Organization, warned in September that the situation is deteriorating quicker than previously thought. The planet, he says, is "very likely" to pass 1.5 degrees of warming "in the next decade if we don't change our behavior." The years 2016-2020 will likely turn out to be both the warmest five-year period on record and the coldest five-year period for the rest of the century.
The greener the better, in other words. In the interests of fairness, though, it is important to consider the international context. The EU and its member states are spending €1.15 trillion in direct response to the pandemic. This figure includes direct fiscal measures like national recovery packages and the Next Generation EU fund, but leaves out loans, equity, guarantees, and fiscal support that would have occurred in the absence of the pandemic, i.e. much of the European Green Deal.
€210 billion of this direct recovery spending, or around 20 percent, is "green" according to a report from the Rhodium Group. 20 percent is of miles ahead of what the US, China, and India are spending on climate action in their recoveries. Those giant economies are spending €22 billion, €1.2 billion, and €674 million respectively on green stimulus, less of 3 percent of their overall recovery packages. As far as green recovery is concerned, the EU is by far the tallest Bonsai tree in the rock garden.
Ms 20 Percent
Judging a spending package by how much of it is devoted to climate action can be misleading: it wouldn't help the climate for Europeans to spend less on unemployment benefits in 2020, though that 20 percent figure would rise if they did. When the EU gives member states grants for public investments in hospitals, it can free up other funds for climate-related initiatives. And when the EU passes new climate legislation, it forces car companies and construction firms to spend money that doesn't show up on the EU ledger.
Yet the EU actually measures itself in this way. To determine what counts as climate action, the EU assigns its own budgetary activities a percentage depending on the extent to which they are climate related. In the last budget period, the EU just missed its 20 percent target for climate-related spending—and that was after making some questionable assumptions about how its payments to farmers protect the climate, as Alan Matthews, Professor Emeritus of European Agricultural Policy, Trinity College Dublin, has pointed out.
The climate-spending target is higher this time around. The Council proposes to spend 30 percent of the Next Generation EU fund and long-term budget for 2021-27 on climate action, going so far as to say that "all EU expenditure should be consistent with Paris Agreement objectives." Unfortunately, the EU Court of Auditors has said that the European Commission is again making "unrealistic" estimates about how much the Common Agricultural Program (CAP) contributes to climate objectives.
Since CAP spending is by far the largest item in the "natural resources and environment" section of the EU budget, it's a serious problem if that money does less to prevent global warming than advertised. EU agricultural emissions were essentially flat from 2006-2017.
While there are plenty of encouraging developments in European climate policy, from the more ambitious emissions target to the collapse of coal power, the EU must do better on agriculture or it risks having to cheat to pass its own test for how green its upcoming budget is.
50 Shades of Green
The debate about what counts as "green" also extends to the energy and finance sectors. The EU is currently finalizing its Sustainable Finance Taxonomy, a classification scheme that determines which projects are eligible for EU aid and some member-state aid. Bearing an official "green" label is increasingly useful for attracting private funding too.
The provisional list of green projects excluded most natural gas and nuclear power infrastructure on the grounds that they emit too much greenhouse gas or produce toxic waste, respectively. But both industries are lobbying furiously to be deemed sustainable, while member states are making their own cases in Brussels. The Czech Republic wants to expand one of its nuclear plants "even if we were to breach European law" Prime Minister Andrej Babis has said. Polish Climate Minister Michał Kurtyka just unveiled a plan to build a half-dozen nuclear power plants, which will be the country's first, by 2040 to wean its economy off coal.
Here in anti-nuclear Germany, meanwhile, the poisoning of Alexei Navalny has triggered Berlin's seemingly annual debate about whether it needs another pipeline to import natural gas directly from misbehaving Russia. (With so much LNG available and energy efficiency improving, it probably doesn't.) And next door in France, Finance and Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire has presented his vision for making low-carbon hydrogen with domestic nuclear power, throwing in for good measure some light criticism of Germany's plans to have hydrogen produced with renewables in North Africa and then import it. "The [German] carbon footprint," he said, "won't be very good."
A Once-in-a-Year Opportunity
One silver lining of the deteriorating climate is that there will be frequently recurring pressures for more action. Just as we now have "once-in-a-century" weather events every few years, we also have major chances to bend the emissions curve every year.
Next year we have the rescheduled COP 26 climate conference, by which time Paris Agreement signatories should have submitted their updated climate action plans, as well as hopefully some in-person EU-China meetings that achieve more than the shortened, virtual September 14 summit. Brussels is pushing Beijing to stop building coal power plants and launch its own emissions trading system. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's presentation of the new 2030 climate target in her State of the Union speech, a 55 percent cut on 1990 by 2030 as opposed to the previous target of -40 percent, should add weight to European pleas for other powers to step up.
But climate action at the highest level will only make a big leap next year if a certain US president is kicked out of office. On climate, the United States is less a sleeping giant than one intentionally knocked out with Ambien, and many countries are hesitant to make big climate promises until this rich, powerful polluter wakes up and recommits to the Paris Agreement. For now, the EU can only do its part—and hope that next year brings major green spending packages worldwide, without a pandemic to trigger them.

Harry Styles Could Become the Next Frank Sinatra
With a new solo record and a role in a World War II epic, Styles' auspicious start as a pop idol will be a footnote—just like it is for Sinatra.
There's a moment in Morgan Spurlock's 2013 documentary One Direction: This Is Us when Harry Styles pokes at the existential dread inside every pop star that one day they might not be famous. "One of the reasons why I don't like the word famous [is] because then people use it afterwards and they go, 'He used to be famous, or he's not famous anymore,'" he says. "And it's just the weird thing of, like, I was a guy before, I was the same guy during, and I'm the same guy afterward."
After logging six years with One Direction, it's impossible Styles will ever not be famous. But until recently, it appeared his former band mate, Zayn Malik, was overshadowing him. And in the world of boy and girl bands, washing out as the second most-famous member amounts to ruin—it's being Lance Bass instead of Justin Timberlake or Kelly Rowland instead of Beyoncé.
But Styles needn't fear this fate—the 23-year-old is poised to become the new Frank Sinatra. They're both magnetic and indescribably charming, but the comparisons go beyond their preternatural charisma. They both started as teen idols. Sinatra relaunched his career as a grown-up musician with an unlikely role in a war movie—which is the exact play Styles is making this year with his part in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk.

Styles's opening salvo lands today with the release of his first solo record, a self-titled album layered with classic rock influences. It will sell millions of copies, and Styles Kreminologists will parse every lyric looking for references to his love life—not least of which his short-lived relationship with Taylor Swift in 2012. That relationship amounted—publicly, at least—to a photograph of the pair walking through Central Park. It came just two years after Styles walked into an X-Factor audition in Britain, got rejected as a solo artist, and was instead teamed up with four other teenage boys who failed to advance. They formed One Direction and were signed to Simon Cowell's record label. Little more than a year later, they were international super stars.
Styles was the alpha peacock in a band of peacocks, channeling the rakish charm of Mick Jagger—he not only bears a striking resemblance to the rocker but also has a reputation for sexual proclivity—and the giddy earnestness of Paul McCartney. His foil in the group was Zayn Malik, a brooding and swarthy self-styled artist who spent his free time painting and ultimately quit the band in early 2015. While Styles has spoken glowingly of One Direction, Malik, who now dates Gigi Hadid, has turned his back on it. "That's not music I would listen to," he has said of One Direction.
In January 2016, the band went on indefinite hiatus. Styles mostly retreated from public view as Malik gavotted with Hadid and put out a successful solo record, Mind of Mine, an attempt at a kind of Frank Ocean lite that featured the sexy R&B single "Pillowtalk."

Soon the public will meet Harry Styles the serious actor. In July, Christopher Nolan's World War II epic Dunkirk hits theaters, featuring a deep bench of serious British actors like Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, and Kenneth Branagh. Styles has somehow elbowed his way into this pack for his acting debut. It's unclear how much screen time Styles gets in Nolan's film about the historic evacuation of the Allies from the shores of France in the opening days of World War II. Gossip sites have reported that Styles was given a bigger role after impressing Nolan, but the latest trailer barely features him. One thing we do know about his role is that he drowns.

"Some of the stuff they're doing in this movie is insane," he told Rolling Stone. "And it was hard, man, physically really tough, but I love acting. I love playing someone else. I'd sleep really well at night, then get up and continue drowning."
There will be comparisons between Styles and other boy-band breakout stars like Timberlake or, given the sound of his new album, classic rockers like Rod Stewart or even Paul McCartney. Styles has sought to cultivate these comparisons with subtle references of his own. During his mini-concert on The Today Show this week, he wore a pink suit—a nod, it seems, to the Clash's Paul Simonon who once called pink "the only true rock and roll color."
The role in Dunkirk, however, begs the comparison to Sinatra—whose "My Way" was the first song Styles performed in public.
Sinatra is the original teen idol. He spent the 1930s—when he was briefly in a boy band called the 3 Flashes—and 1940s performing sold-out shows to screaming teenage girls. There was even a name for it: "Sinatramania." By the early 1950s, Sinatra was desperate to relaunch his career. He was, as The Daily Beast noted, "too old to play the kind of innocuous musicals he had made in the 1940s, and, as a grittier sound was coming into popular music, his record sales were in decline." Sinatra's luck changed when he was cast in the 1953 war movie, From Here to Eternity. A lightweight actor, Sinatra was slated to appear alongside some of the biggest actors of the day: Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Deborah Kerr, and Donna Reed. Sinatra's casting is now the stuff of legend. The alleged way in which he was cast—through Mafia strong-arming—was depicted in the famous horse head scene in The Godfather. (This is almost certainly not true.)

However he got the part, it began the most significant comeback in pop culture history. The Best Picture-winning From Here to Eternity earned Sinatra an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. That same year he signed a deal with Capitol Records, and the music we know associate with Sinatra started rolling.
Dunkirk is Styles' From Here to Eternity moment—the ideal canvas to broaden his appeal from young women to the general public— even to the men openly hostile to boy bands. Make no mistake: Styles isn't in a hurry to ditch his base. Here's what he told Rolling Stone about appealing to an older audience:
"Who's to say that young girls who like pop music—short for popular, right?—have worse musical taste than a 30-year-old hipster guy? That's not up to you to say. Music is something that's always changing. There's no goal posts. Young girls like the Beatles. You gonna tell me they're not serious? How can you say young girls don't get it? They're our future. Our future doctors, lawyers, mothers, presidents, they kind of keep the world going. Teenage-girl fans – they don't lie. If they like you, they're there. They don't act 'too cool.' They like you, and they tell you. Which is sick."
That's an excellent point, but if Styles does what no one is expecting and, like Sinatra, earns his own Academy Award for Dunkirk, the 30-year-old hipsters will take notice—and he'll be more than a former pop idol. As the saying goes, men wanted to be Sinatra and women wanted to be with him. Styles is halfway there. After Dunkirk, he'll have gone all the way.

2021 Toyota Land Cruiser 300: Specs, New Design, & Photos
2021 Toyota Land Cruiser 300: Specs, New Design, & Photos. There have been a lot of reports about the 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser redesign, it looks like we will have to wait for some more time. The current generation of the iconic SUV has been riding for more than a decade. It is a tough player on the market, thanks to its amazing off-road capabilities, unparalleled reliability, and practical interior.
Of course, there are also several drawbacks, which prevent this SUV from being ranked higher in this class. That primarily refers to poor fuel economy and lack of the latest tech and connectivity features. All in all, the 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser will come with familiar design characteristics, so you will definitely know what to expect from it. Count on the same price tag.
2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Design
In terms of base design characteristics, we definitely won't see any important changes in the 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser. It will continue in the same way, sharing many of its parts with the Tundra pickup. The current generation of this full-size SUV has been around since 2007. Still, we have seen a couple of updates, so the current model still looks pretty attractive. Its styling has been updated several years ago and Toyota's pretty classical approach makes this model never-aging in terms of the exterior design. Still, the strongest point of this SUV is its capability off the road.
Also Read: 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser Redesign: What We Know So Far
Along with the Range Rover, this is the most capable vehicle in the class. Still, keep in mind that the Land Cruiser is significantly more reliable and definitely a far better choice for off-road adventures. The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser is about to continue to deliver the same quality, though we could see additions in terms of new exterior color options.
2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Engine
Things under the hood are pretty familiar with this SUV. All models come with a powerful 5.7-liter V8, which is good for about 380 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. This amount of power ensures amazing performances, but a big complaint goes to poor fuel economy. It goes around 13 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway.
2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Release Date and Price
The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser will come sometime late in the year. We don't expect bigger changes in price, so base models should go around 85.000 dollars.
2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Interior
This is the aspect where the current model shows its age much more. Despite being functional and quite spacious, this cabin features quite outdated aesthetics. This is most notable on the dashboard, which mostly features straight angles and rectangular shapes. Many surfaces are hard on touch, despite the fact that the quality of these materials is at a very high level. All in all, younger rivals look more opulent on the inside.
Also Read: 2019 Land Cruiser Prado Redesign, Price, Release date
Still, the cabin is quite functional. Front seats are very massive and comfortable, while the amount of leg and headroom is pretty amazing in the first two rows of seating. On the other side, the third row is a little bit tight, but still large enough to accommodate adult passengers.
When it comes to the cargo space, you can count on about 16 cubic feet behind the third row. With the folded third-row max capacity goes up to 43 cubic feet, while the overall cargo volume goes around 82 cubic feet. It is good to know that all models come with standard power liftgate.
2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Features
When it comes to the standard equipment, a good thing about the Land Cruiser is that base model comes fully loaded. In terms of tech features, you can count on things like 9-inch touch-screen, a 14-speaker JBL audio system, navigation, HD Radio, satellite radio, Siri Eyes Free, Entune app suite, USB ports, Bluetooth, wireless charging and many more. Practically, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system is the only option.
When it comes to safety, all models come with parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, and a multiview parking camera, as well as with the Toyota Safety Sense suite. This package includes advanced safety systems like lane departure warning, automatic high beams, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection etc.
When can we expect to see the next-generation model?
Despite the numerous rumors about the 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series, the new generation of the iconic SUV won't come so soon. In Japanese magazines, photos that look like 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser spy shots appeared. The fact is that those are nothing more than graphics. Toyota has started work on the new model, but the whole project is still away from the final stage. The next generation will probably come in about a year or two.
Same goes to a smaller version of this SUV, which is offered around the world. The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser will also continue without more important changes.

New councillors for Uckfield Ridgewood and North wards
New councillors co-opted onto Uckfield Town Council last night to represent Uckfield Ridgewood and Uckfield North wards are Karen Bedwell and Colin Snelgrove respectively.
Newly co-opted Uckfield Town Councillors Colin Snelgrove and Karen Bedwell.
They were chosen from a group of five candidates by town councillors at their annual statutory meeting.
Unsuccessful candidates were Peter Selby for Ridgewood and Lisa Smith and Patricia Dann for North.
Karen has lived in Uckfield for about 15 years. She has three children, Tom, Jamie, and Henri, who attended local primary schools and Uckfield College. Henri is still at the college.
She is currently serving her second year as chair of Ridgewood Village Hall committee and has been involved in school activities, including being a parent governor at St Philips for six years, and a member of Uckfield Rugby Club mini-committee.
She has also helped support Holy Cross Christmas Tree Festival over ten years and is a member of Uckfield Lions.
She told town councillors she would like to work with them to continuously improve Uckfield and Ridgewood as it grows and diversifies and keep the social values and responsibilities that are so important to the residents of Uckfield high on the agenda.
Colin Snelgrove said he had lived in Uckfield all his life and brought up his family here. He and his children attended local schools.
He said: "I have a strong view on public order and my previous experience of working in the prison sector makes me very aware of the causes and effects of antisocial behaviour, as well as the difficulties involved in improving things in that way.
"I would like to work to ensure that Sussex Police have the ability to deal with the things that happen in a growing town."
Mr Snelgrove said he was also keen to make sure the town council had the right number of school places, doctors and other things we all needed as people moved into the 1,000 new homes being built.
Attending a town council meeting for the first time were newly elected councillors Gary Johnson, Conservatives, Ridgewood; James Edwards, Liberal Democrat, Ridgewood; Ben Cox, Labour and Co-operative, New Town.
Angie Smith, Labour, North, was also new but her seat was uncontested.
New Uckfield town councillors are, top, Ben Cox, and Angie Smith. Below, are James Edwards, and Gary Johnson.
New youth councillors were co-opted to the council last night. They are Lewis Westwood-Flood, and Ashley Brunsdon. Both are 17-years-old and attend Uckfield College.

#warehousewatch: November and December 2016
Abandoned warehouse: best place for a superhero team-up or what??
The CW Network loves no setting so much as a warehouse, so I've set out to track every warehouse on every CW show I watch throughout the 2016/2017 TV season. For science.
If you're new to the #warehousewatch project, you can catch up on the October stats here. Remember, for our purposes a warehouse is a large space with a concrete or packed dirt floor, suitable for storage and/or industry. That said, when you watch TV through a warehousey lens, there comes a point where everything looks like a warehouse. It's possible I've mislabelled a few spaces, but I ain't too bothered about it.
A Comprehensive List of Warehouses On the CW, November 2016 to December 2016:
By series, not in order of appearance.
THE FLASH, Season Three
Episode Four:
Cisco lives in a converted warehouse. SCORE!
Episode Five:
Turns out, the recurring creepy temple is supposed to be in an abandoned subway, not a warehouse basement; however, it's got such a warehouse vibe that I figure it's gonna be the subway station's private warehouse. Textual evidence supports the assumption that pretty well every largish structure in the CW's extended universe has its own personal warehouse.
Episode Six:
We open in the creepy subway warehouse temple, where Barry's busy battling (ie, getting his ass kicked by) Savitar. Pro tip: 98% of the time, the villain trounces you during your first warehouse battle, but don't despair! You'll do better during the rematch.
Evil!Caitlin takes Julian to a frozen food warehouse.
Episode Seven:
Barry finds Oliver & Diggle fighting Vigilante in a warehouse.
Barry & Cisco vibe into Kara's warehouse apartment.
The various superhero teams assemble in a disused Star Labs warehouse, which they set up as their base of operations for the invasion.
THE ALIENS ALSO HAVE A WAREHOUSE BASE, which I suppose proves how closely they've been watching humanity.
The government has a warehouse base, too. Groundbreaking.
Oliver fights Thea, Sara, and Diggle in what looks like a warehouse somewhere on the main Star Labs campus as per the "every structure needs its own personal warehouse" rule.
Episode Eight:
No warehouses. GASP. I do feel compelled to note that Barry and Julian's lab could easily be mistaken for a warehouse if we didn't get so many exterior shots of the police headquarters, though. Perhaps it counts as the station's obligatory personal warehouse?
SUPERGIRL, Season Two
Alex and Maggie play pool at their favourite alien bar-in-a-warehouse.
I love how the warehouse bar has become everyone's favourite hangout this season. It's like when the Scoobies used to lurk around and/or start fights in their local warehouse bar, all those years ago.
The warehouse bar's looking parTICularly warehousey this ep as everyone congregates there for generalized fun.
Cadmus holds Mon-El captive in a warehouse prison.
Guardian battles his rival of the week in said rival's warehouse lair.
And y'know, I think Kara's apartment is in a converted warehouse. The set designers certain aimed for the converted warehouse aesthetic we all know and love.
We open with an exterior shot of Kara's apartment building and I'm gonna say yes, it does count as a converted warehouse.
The warehouse bar makes an appearance, as we all knew it would.
NO TOMORROW, Season One
I continue to love how Evie and her friends work in a warehouse. So meta, CW.
Warehooooouse!!!
There's also a slew of white pillar candles (at Xavier's house, not at the warehouse. Poop). We aren't strictly tracking those, but I feel compelled to note they've been in short supply this season with TVD's Bonnie magic-free and both THE ORIGINALS and THE 100 off the air until early 2017. Can anyone weigh in as to whether SUPERNATURAL's been picking up the white pillar candle slack? Because I seriously worry about the white pillar candle industry if this keeps up.
Ah, warehouse. We meet again.
The warehouse takes centre stage during a strike, with a couple of zorbs and a cute pet rat for good measure.
Episode Nine:
This week, the warehouse hosts a dance practice. Good work, warehouse!
FREQUENCY, Season One
No warehouses. :(
It initially looks like Meghan lives in a warehouse, but it's a fake-out. She's at a psych facility.
Daniel lives in a converted warehouse, as do so many of his fellow CW characters.
ARROW, Season Five
Oh, look, a warehouse torture chamber. How unexpected.
The team shakes some villains down in a warehouse.
Diggle now lives in the old Hive warehouse.
It doesn't happen in a warehouse, but Oliver fakes his own death this episode. It's been ages since anyone on this show did that, so I feel compelled to mention it.
Oliver jumps around on top of a warehouse before he enters the place to find a lot of random yet controlled fires. Classic warehouse decor.
The new recruits congregate in Ragman's little welding warehouse (slash house-house? Does he live there? I wonder what percentage of CW characters live in warehouses?).
Oliver perches atop a warehouse while he keeps tabs on someone he expects Prometheus to attack.
Vigilante interrupts a prostitution ring trying to broker a deal in a warehouse.
There's Diggle's warehouse home again.
There's a teeny, tiny, two-second flashback to Ollie's old warehouse from S1.
Barry et al investigate a cyborg attack in a place that might be a warehouse. It's filled with pipes? And there seem to be some shelves in the background in the open spaces? It's weak, because this is possible the least warehousey episode of ARROW ever. The show goes totally off brand, but I can't mind because this was my favourite episode of ARROW in ages and ages and ages.
Prometheus holes up in a place that might be a warehouse, but might also be a house-house or a storefront/office. Given this show's track record, we're gonna count it as a warehouse.
Oliver et al track Prometheus to an abandoned drug company that's got a warehouse attached to its lab as per the "every structure needs its own personal warehouse" rule.
We visit the drug company warehouse pre-abandonment in a flashback.
Oliver fights Prometheus in an abandoned office with some warehousey segments.
Occasional flashbacks transport us to the office/warehouse before it was abandoned.
JANE THE VIRGIN, Season Three
No warehouses :(
WHERE ARE THE WAREHOUSES?
Still no warehouses. None. Nada. Zip.
FINALLY! Rafael takes Jane and Michael to his dad's old storage locker, and storage lockers are usually located in warehouses so we're gonna count it.
LEGENDS OF TOMORROW, Season Two
Episode Three:
THE WAVERIDER HAS A SECRET WAREHOUSE ON BOARD. Don't tell me that's a "weapons locker" or a "storage room." It's totally a warehouse.
Jax and Stein hang around in the secret weapons warehouse while they wonder whether they should come clean to the rest of the team. Pro tip: always come clean to the rest of the team. Especially about your Secret Baby, which isn't the issue here but will, in fact, become an issue very soon because the CW always comes back to the classics.
The JSA's old training facility is in abandoned warehouse.
The villains meet up in a tiny warehouse inside the White House. Do you think President Obama ever goes there and pretends he's fighting a ninja?
Reverse Flash stores his time machine in an abandoned warehouse.
Ray finds a cave that's doing double duty as a warehouse.
The Legends team up with everyone else at the Star Labs warehouse.
Damien Dahrk, Eobard Thawne, and Malcolm Merlyn meet with Al Capone outside a warehouse down by the docks.
Capone's thugs throw Elliot Ness off the docks near a warehouse. Maybe it's the same one? I have poor individual warehouse recognition, but I feel like there's less open space around this particular example of the breed.
The villains hold Sara and Stein captive in a warehouse, which gives Stein the perfect opportunity to tell Sara about his secret baby. The rest of the team eventually charges in to rescue them.
The villains try to throw Stein off the docks near what I assume is the same warehouse at which they targeted Elliot Ness.
An actor portraying Rip Hunter gets chased outside a warehouse that proves to be on a soundstage. We're still gonna count it.
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, Season Eight
Stefan confronts Damon and Enzo in--are you ready for this?--a little warehouse inside the Mystic Falls high school. Don't @ me to say it's a storage room. IT'S A MINI WAREHOUSE. With a stage at one end, for no apparent reason.
Damon threatens Matt's dad in a little warehouse attached to Matt's dad's garage.
Selene and the twins conduct a fish funeral in an abandoned warehouse.
No warehouses, but I'm willing to overlook it because there's a creepy hotel. Creepy hotels are abandoned warehouses' grown-up cousins.
No warehouses. Even when Stefan visits Hell. As if Stefan's personal Hell doesn't have seventy million warehouses in it.
Some Conclusions
Eight shows. Thirty-nine episodes, twenty-nine of which feature at least one warehouse. Fifty-two warehouses in total, some of which have become beloved, recurring hang-outs for the characters.
That's a lot of warehouses, though the overall percentage has decreased from 81% in October to 73% in November and early December.
We can blame JANE THE VIRGIN and FREQUENCY for dragging the newtwork's numbers down, though I must note that ARROW failed to maintain its October average of 5.5 distinct warehouses per episode. It went down to an average of 3 per ep, though as previously stated this might have worked to the show's benefit. Maybe ARROW has become too dependant on warehouses?
(On a related note, I personally visited a warehouse on Monday and left without fighting a single ninja. It's almost like ARROW isn't a realistic portrayal of everyday life.)
NO TOMORROW continues to bring the warehouses in spades while simultaneously helping counteract the network's current white pillar candle deficiency. Good job, NO TOMORROW. FREQUENCY had a strong warehouse showing during its early episodes but has since backed away from them in preference to such settings as remote woodlands and peoples' dodgy backyards. One can only imagine they're trying to create a distinct visual brand for themselves, much as THE ORIGINALS encourages its characters to hang around in abandoned churches and aboveground tombs at least as often as abandoned warehouses.
SUPERGIRL surprised and delighted me by introducing a warehouse bar in the BTVS mode. Everyone hangs out there now, and it's awesome. Good work, SUPERGIRL writers.
JANE THE VIRGIN continues to avoid warehouses; a surprising choice, since it's otherwise the most aggressively CWish show on the CW. Given Michael's inability to return to police work, I must assume the show will continue on in this vein. Thank goodness it's still chock full of evil twins, Crime Lord Mothers, random half-siblings, and hoteliers.
Most of the CW's shows are now off the air until mid to late January, when they'll premiere such anticipated offerings as RIVERDALE and the fourth season of THE 100, so join me in early March for a full recap of the warehouses our favourite characters visited throughout the first couple months of 2017!

AUDITING / INTERNATIONAL
PCAOB: Audits of Chinese Reverse Mergers Create Compliance Concern
A PCAOB research note released on Tuesday attributes instances of noncompliance with AU section 543 to the increasing prevalence of transactions the regulator classified as Chinese reverse mergers (CRMs). The PCAOB's research assessed data from a July 2010 audit alert that had raised a concern that some U.S.-registered accounting firms may not be properly conducting audits of companies with operations outside the U.S.
Research Note 2011-P1, "Activity Summary and Audit Implications for Reverse Mergers Involving Companies from the China Region (January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2010)," was prepared by the PCAOB Office of Research and Analysis (ORA) to provide further context to the issues discussed in Staff Audit Practice Alert no. 6 issued on July 12, 2010.
The research said that 159 companies from the China region accessed U.S. capital markets through a reverse merger transaction or CRM between Jan. 1, 2007, and March 31, 2010. The companies had combined market capitalization of $12.8 billion as of March 31, 2010. A reverse merger was classified as a CRM if the private operating company that merged into the public shell company was incorporated in the China region, had its headquarters in the China region, or its revenue or production cycle was substantially based in the China region. The China region includes the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The PCAOB found indications that U.S. firms, when auditing CRMs, were not properly applying AU section 543, Part of Audit Performed by Other Independent Auditor, which applies when an auditor uses "the work and reports of other independent auditors who have audited the financial statements of one or more subsidiaries, divisions, branches, components, or investments included in the financial statements." The standard does not contemplate an auditor taking responsibility for the work of another auditor that has audited an issuer's financial statements substantially in their entirety.
In one example, a U.S.-registered accounting firm retained an accounting firm in the China region, and the audit procedures performed by the other firm constituted substantially all of the audit procedures on the issuer's financial statements. The U.S. firm's personnel did not travel to the China region during the audit, and substantially all of the audit documentation was maintained by the firm in the China region. The board's inspection staff cited other situations in which U.S.-registered firms engaged assistants from outside the firm for audit work on companies with substantially all of their operations in another country, where the U.S.-registered firm's involvement in the audit work performed by the consultants was insufficient for the firm to assert that the audit provided a reasonable basis for the firm's opinion on the financial statements.
The report said that, while reverse merger transactions, including CRMs, are not inherently problematic, CRMs often result in a company with substantially all of its operations in the China region having its securities trade in the U.S., often with its financial statements audited by a U.S. auditor. The PCAOB in Audit Practice Alert no. 6 first raised a concern that some U.S.-registered accounting firms may not be following PCAOB standard when conducting audits of companies with operations outside of the U.S. The alert said the following factors may have a negative impact on the audits of such companies:
The need to understand the local language;
Use of local audit firms or assistants from an outside firm to complete a portion of the audit work;
Additional travel time and expense necessary to complete an audit; and
The need to understand the local business environment in which the client operates.

A Wry Eye – Headless chickens still flap on
By Kris ByersJanuary 16, 2017No Comments3 min read
BY the time you are reading this, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland could have pulled the trigger and called a new Assembly election.
From scandal to crisis in a few short days, the Northern Ireland political elite have proved themselves capable of behaving like headless chickens, still flapping but with no guiding mind.
Martin McGuiness resigns, Arlene Foster indignant, Bedroom tax (seemingly) avoided – it's as if Jack Kerouac has come back from the grave to produce a stream of consciousness poem based on Northern Ireland politics.
Who's right? Who's wrong? Who will get the best soundbite? Who will post the 'killer' tweet? All we know for sure is that the reaction from the populace has ranged from outraged through to ambivalence.
About 45% decided not to make the journey to the polling station in the May 2016 Assembly election. Maybe a few more will be motivated to vote this time. After all, a wee walk will help burn off some post-Christmas calories!
But, at least there won't be so many MLAs to elect, with the number of seats per constituency reduced from six to five. The number of candidates on any putative ballot paper remains to be seen, but you can be assured that many familiar names will once again put themselves forward.
In the meantime the clock ticks down towards 17:00 today (Monday), to see whether a deal can be struck, negotiations succeed or if it was all just a big joke to see if anyone was paying attention.
Over the weekend the massive weight of intellectual might turned out to be lighter than expected in securing agreement. To gee things along the Secretary of State, James Brokenshire, even decided not to return home, but endure Saturday and Sunday in Northern Ireland.
What began with a sniff of brinkmanship (we hope that isn't perceived as a misogynist-like word) now has the whiff of electoral battle odour.
However, the reality seems to be that the Renewable Heat Incentive investigation/inquiry/study/homework project may be delayed in much the same way that the budget has been delayed. The Permanent Secretary at the Department of Finance has dug out and dusted off his abacus in the event that he has to allocate some cash to keep hospitals open. Given the ongoing crises in A&E departments, local doctors will hope he's in a generous mood.
But, should an election take place, and if there is a new Executive, and if they can all agree to get along as MLAs and not headless chickens, there may be a budget in place before long.
To foresee such a thing Mr Brokenshire has been reading the runes, and examining the entrails of goats because the Executive will have to be formed around the Ides of March…a date Julius Ceasar chose to ignore as significant instead of doing what every self-respecting civil servant would do and pull a sickie.
In the meantime we await the peace and quiet of an election campaign, when certain purdah rules will have to be observed rather than the hysteria we are currently 'enjoying'.

After 2010 and 2011, the third edition of the international indoor tournament "Berlin Open" was held this weekend in a snow-covered German capital. The tournament was fully booked and some very well known names in international archery were present, besides 4 Korean archers in the Women's Recurve division, that were sent by the main sponsor Win&Win. Two new records were shot, a new european record in the Men's Compound division by Mike Schloesser (598 points) and another world record for German cadet Carlo Schmitz, who topped his own world record with 594 points. He eventually won the Men's Recurve division and clinched his second win at an international indoor tournament after winning the Face2Face tournament in Amsterdam just one month ago.


The quality and quantity of daily consumption of protein slows progression of muscle loss.
As we age we lose muscle and strength, a medical term known as sarcopenia. As our muscles get smaller, we become weaker. The loss of strength is consistent with a loss of mobility and independence. The quality and quantity of daily consumption of protein are important in slowing this progression. Here's why and how.
The most recent Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of protein for men and women 19 years of age and older is 0.8 gram per kilogram (gm/Kg) of body weight. However, newer research shows that healthy adults age 65 and older need higher amounts of protein between 1.0 and 1.2 gm/kg a day. Those with sarcopenia may need upwards of 1.2 to 1.5gm/kg a day.
To figure out how much protein you need, multiply your weight in pounds by 0.45 to get your weight in Kg. Then multiply your weight in Kg by 1.2 (or higher with sarcopenia) to reach the recommended grams of protein per day.
What type of protein do I need?
Dietary protein is made up of many types of amino acids, one of which, leucine, has been shown to preserve muscle tissue. Soy beans and animal foods such as beef, lamb, pork, poultry, fish, eggs, milk and milk products contain the highest amounts of leucine. Lesser amounts of leucine can be found in other beans, nuts and seeds.
Milk products: Add cheese to toast, crackers, sandwiches, baked potatoes, vegetables, soups, noodles, meat, and fruit. Use milk in place of water when cooking cereal and creamed soups. Add powdered milk to cream soups and mashed potatoes. Add cottage cheese to salad, soup and fruit. Try yogurt blended into a milk shake.
Meats, poultry, fish: Add leftover cooked meats to soups, casseroles, salads, and omelets. Make dip by mixing diced, chopped, or shredded meat with sour cream and spices.
Beans, legumes, nuts and seeds: Sprinkle nuts and seeds on cereals, fruit, and desserts such as ice cream, pudding, and custard. Serve nuts and seeds on vegetables, salads, and pasta. Spread peanut butter on toast, bread, English muffins, and fruit, or blend it in a milk shake. Add beans and peas to salads, soups, casseroles, and vegetable dishes.
How can I increase my daily consumption of dietary protein?
If you appetite isn't as good as it used to be, or if you get full quickly, have smaller meals and snacks that have protein. Eat protein first, and eat processed carbs last (if at all).
Try liquid protein supplements such as Ensure or Boost, or make your own with whey or soy protein powders mixed into milk, soymilk or almond milk. Try a health food store if your supermarket does not carry these products.
Monitor your body weight on a regular basis and ensure good fluid intake to support hydration needs.

Group Launches 'Catholic' Advice for Biden's First 100 Days
(NOTE from Faith News: Disclaimer: Content of articles posted on Faith News that does not originate within the Church of God comes from various sources and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Church of God, Church of God Communications, or the Church of God Internet Ministry).
The National Catholic Reporter (NCR), an independent Catholic news source, is partnering with Catholic politicians, activists and scholars to offer advice to President-elect Joe Biden, the country's second Catholic president. The "Building a Common Future" series launches today and takes its title from Pope Francis' 2020 encyclical, Fratelli Tutti.
"Building our common future: It's what the United States, indeed, the entire world needs right now," write NCR's editors in an editorial introducing the series.
"Doing so involves a fight against the ideological curse that besets America today, the idea that if individuals simply pursue their own interest, defend their own freedom, and ignore or even deny the existence of any 'common' good, all boats will rise, the government will shrink as it should, and the people will be free from the shackles of imposed moral orders," the editors write.
Drawing on the Catholic social teaching about the common good, the editors and guest commentators urge Biden to pursue policies that reflect a shared responsibility to one another.
The first guest commentary in this series comes from Sen. Tim Kaine, the junior United States Senator from Virginia and former vice presidential candidate. Senator Kaine's editorial, "Let America be an island of mercy for immigrants, refugees" discusses his own history as a missionary in Honduras. He urges President-elect Biden to prioritize family reunion, and for Congress to finally pass an immigration reform bill.
In the coming weeks, NCR will publish editorials on abortion, the death penalty, gun control, LGBQT issues, health care, COVID-19, foreign policy, and the environment from guest contributors, including Sr. Simone Campbell, Sr. Helen Prejean, Gloria Purvis, Tia Noelle Pratt, Rep. Linda Sánchez, Richard Trumka, and more.

Q: How to filter items in a vector of Option by converting them to None in place? I want to filter out some items in a vector of Option and I want to do so in place without creating a new vector, as it could be done with a combination of map and collect. I do not want to use Vec::map_in_place as this is deprecated.
I found the following solution:
use std::mem;

fn main() {
    let mut v = vec![
        Some("10".to_owned()),
        Some("5".to_owned()),
        None,
        Some("20".to_owned()),
    ];

    for i in v.iter_mut() {
        let j = match mem::replace(i, None) {
            None => None,
            Some(f) => {
                if f == "20" {
                    None
                } else {
                    Some(f)
                }
            }
        };
        mem::replace(i, j);
    }
    println!("v = {:?}", v);
}

playground
Although it works fine, it makes 2 copies for each element, whether the element is modified or not.
Is there a more idiomatic solution that would also require less copying?

A: After Vladimir's comment
At the risk of massively overfitting the concrete example; the following would also work:
fn main() {
    let mut v = vec![Some("10".to_owned()), Some("5".to_owned()),
                     None, Some("20".to_owned())];

    for i in v.iter_mut() {
        if i.as_ref().map_or(false, |f| *f == "20") {
            i.take();
        }
    }
    println!("v = {:?}", v);
}

Initial answer
Perhaps you simplified your example too much, but for the given program if can be done with only one copy, and only when a change is needed. The main idea is that you first check whether you need to change (i.e., that i is Some("20")), and then you simply do the change. A little dance with borrowchk seems necessary, but a solution is as follows:
use std::mem;

fn main() {
    let mut v = vec![Some("10".to_owned()), Some("5".to_owned()),
                     None, Some("20".to_owned())];

    for i in v.iter_mut() {
        // Borrowchk-dance: make sure this borrow of i ends before we try to mutate
        let is_a_twenty = match i {
            &mut Some(ref f) if *f == "20" => true,
            _ => false,
        };
        // Now that we're free to borrow i mutably, go ahead and do so
        if is_a_twenty {
            mem::replace(i, None);
        }

    }
    println!("v = {:?}", v);
}

A: Just want to add that in the current Rust stdlib, iterator has a method filter_map that filters out None values, so you can skip the .filter(|x| x.is_some()) step in the chain.

A: Here are two more direct approaches, one using a for loop and one using an iterator:
fn g(number_strings: &mut Vec<Option<String>>, target: &str) {
    for some_string in number_strings.iter_mut() {
        if let Some(ref string) = some_string {
            if string == target {
                *some_string = None;
            }
        }
    }
}

fn h(number_strings: &mut Vec<Option<String>>, target: &str) {
    number_strings
        .iter_mut()
        .filter(|s| s.is_some() && s.as_ref().unwrap() == target)
        .for_each(|s| *s = None);
}

fn main() {
    let mut v = vec![
        Some("10".to_owned()),
        Some("5".to_owned()),
        None,
        Some("20".to_owned()),
        Some("10".to_owned()),
        Some("20".to_owned()),
    ];
    println!("{:?}", v);
    g(&mut v, "10");
    println!("{:?}", v);
    h(&mut v, "20");
    println!("{:?}", v);
}

Output:
[Some("10"), Some("5"), None, Some("20"), Some("10"), Some("20")]
[None, Some("5"), None, Some("20"), None, Some("20")]
[None, Some("5"), None, None, None, None]

«Партия свободной земли», «Фрисойлеры» (англ. Free Soil Party) — политическая партия США, активно действовавшая в конце 1840-х—начале 1850-х годов. Возникла в 1848 году путём объединения фракции «барнбернеров» («поджигателей амбаров») Демократической партии (её северное крыло, лидер — Мартин Ван Бюрен, в противовес фракции «Ханкеров», раскол между фракциями произошёл в 1848 году после того как барнбюрнеры не поддержали выдвижение в Президенты Льюиса Кэсса), фракции «Совесть» Партии Вигов (её северное крыло, лидер — Чарльз Фрэнсис Адамс, в противовес фракции «Хлопок», раскол между фракциями произошёл в 1848 году после того как фракция «Совесть» не поддержала выдвижение в Президенты Закари Тейлора) и Партии свободы. Девизом партии был: «Свободная земля, свобода слова, свободный труд и свободные люди» (). Стояла на антирабовладельческой основе и включала бывших вигов и демократов. Резко выступала против распространения рабства на новые западные территории, считая, что свободный человек на свободной земле представляет собой и морально, и экономически гораздо более высшую систему по сравнению с рабовладельческой. Однако, партия не призывала к отмене рабства в южных штатах, где оно уже существовало, так как их целью была экспансия на запад и предохранение этих территорий от рабов. После поражения Мартина ван Бюрена на выборах Президента США в 1848 году фракция «Совесть» вышла из Партии Свободной Земли и вновь соединилась с Партией Вигов.

Была третьей по величине партией на президентских выборах 1848 и 1852 года. Однако, после выступления против Компромисса 1850 года партия потеряла существенную часть своего электората.

В 1854 году объединилась с фракцией «Совесть» в Республиканскую партию.

I met Michael at Grand Central subway station, he listened for a while and then we engaged in conversation about the experience of spontaneous moments like passing a subway musician and taking the time to stop. What Inspires Michael? "Humanity of what this experience was inspired by your music at this particular moment, the human connection with you and your music absolutely lovely. Totally unexpected, I have risen with my heart and my sense of being multifold."

Brian White Troublemaker at Herschel Supply
Courage. It's an overarching theme of this podcast. Brian White radiates it, so naturally he's always been drawn to companies who have it. The courage to keep the consumers as the focus. The courage to reinvent their businesses. The courage to reinvent himself.
Brian is Herschel Supply's new Senior Vice President of Global Sales. Our first contact was a lengthy note he wrote me through LinkedIn after I invited him to be on the Troublemakers podcast. As I sat down to write up this blog post, I remembered it and realized I can never top what he wrote in that note. So, here's Brian's recounting of some amazing career exploits, and especially why Herschel Supply is the perfect scenario for him.
Steve, the idea of "troublemakers" in business resonates. I've been a troublemaker all my life.
I am fortunate to have partnered with great brands over the years: most were renegades. I started The Unlimited Sales Agency in 1997 fresh out of school, and it was a time of change. I used a laptop and urged brands to modernize (The old guard didn't like it). My first big brands granted me the power to change the business and provided much-needed ground cover considering I was just a young punk living in my Mom's basement. The brands below were perfect for me. They helped define who I was by representing them.
Ride Snowboards – A powerful brand played by its own rules and took pride in chilling for #1 spot in every market.
Arnette – A new eyewear brand that much larger competition didn't see coming. The early days were certifiably insane. The personalities were out of this world and the sales matched.
Globe – Australian powerhouse footwear brand that partied as hard as they worked.
Hurley clothing – Surf, Skate and Music rolled up into a cutting-edge apparel brand. Founded by Bob Hurley, who had run the Billabong USA licenses until the deal didn't work and he radically shifted to his name's sake.
Nixon – Action sports answer to the premium teen market. A watch brand that didn't sell to watch stores, powered my athletes like Danny way, Tony Hawk and two of the best founders in the business.
Unlimited Sales was an Entrepreneur's Dream, freedom, support from great brands, and the wind at our back. We won every rep award, national awards from major trade magazines, and even won Toronto Entrepreneur of the year in 2012.

But like all great stories, the world started changing. The success of these troublemaker brands and my high EBITDA business didn't go unnoticed. Brands started going public and cutting commissions; others were sold to larger companies.
For a while I felt like I had a target on my back. Ride snowboards sold to K2 sports and before the magic faded, I decided to focus on my other brands. Arnette sold to Luxottica and I exited the business.
Reps and retailers alike thought I was crazy to give up the extensive monthly checks, but for the first time in my life, I was 100% confident. I wanted to focus on the brands I believed in.
I traded my time spent on Arnette to up and coming Nixon. The math made no sense, but it felt right. The business grew from 38K to 3M in record speed. The owners were thoughtful but humble, we were skateboarders and snowboarders in t-shirts and hoodies catching the attention of the Swiss elite and it felt great.
Building brands only to quit when they were acquired was not a good business plan, so in 2013 I moved to California to become a Sales exec with Nixon watches. As VP of Sales we grew the business to its peak performance.
And I guess that's where my story starts for your podcast. I am fueled by progression and have never been afraid to challenge the status quo. I recently started a new role as SVP of Global Sales for Herschel Supply Co. It's my perfect scenario – a strong brand widely recognized and positioned for growth. We are already doing amazing things.

Der Isbister Cairn (auch Tomb of the Eagle genannt) ist eine Megalithanlage auf South Ronaldsay, einer Insel der Orkney, die zu Schottland gehört. Isbister Cairn wurde von dem Landwirt Ronald Simison (geb. 1922) im Jahre 1958 entdeckt und 1976 ausgegraben. Simison wurde 2008 mit dem "MBE award" ausgezeichnet.

Die Entdeckung
Simison stieß auf einem nahe an der Steilküste gelegenen, von Gras überwachsenen Hügel auf die Oberkante einer Mauer. Beim Nachgraben fand er drei Äxte, einen polierten Keulenkopf, ein flaches ovales wie ein Messer geformtes Stück Kalkstein, und einen runden Knopf. Die Ausgrabung des Cairns zeigte, dass dieses wertvolle kleine Depot auf dem Sockel an der Basis der äußeren Mauer gelegen hatte.

Die Ausgrabung
Trotz des Interesses, das die Entdeckung unter den Archäologen geweckt hatte, vergingen wegen Geldmangels Jahre ohne eine professionelle Ausgrabung des Standorts. In den 1970er-Jahren unternahm Ronald Simison die Ausgrabung selbst, nachdem er die professionelle Ausgrabung von Liddle Burnt Mound, einem Ancient cooking place auf seinem Land, durch John W. Hedges beobachtet hatte.

Die Anlage
Wie der Unstan Cairn ist auch Isbister architektonisch ein Hybride. Die Anlagen stellen einen Übergangstyp zwischen den älteren Stalled Cairns des Orkney-Cromarty-Typs (OC) und den jüngeren Passage Tombs des Maes-Howe-Typs (MH) dar. Die Kammer wird durch aufrechte Säulen (statt der üblichen Platten) in fünf Abteile geteilt und hat zusätzlich zwei (statt einer) Endkammern und drei von der Hauptkammer aus zugängliche Nebenkammern, die ebenso wie der laterale Zugang auf den Maes-Howetyp weisen. Die Endkammern sind wie beim Unstan Cairn mittels Schwellensteinen vom zentralen Bereich abgegrenzt. Die beiden Seitenzellen auf der Westseite der Kammer waren intakt und sind etwa 90 cm hoch. Die Hauptkammer wurde ursprünglich von einem Kraggewölbe und einem ovalen Cairn bedeckt. Die Hauptkammer war mit Erde und Steinen gefüllt worden, als das Grab aufgelassen wurde, während die Zellen unverfüllt waren.

Funde im Inneren
Die beiden intakten Zellen enthielten hauptsächlich menschliche Schädel. Auf dem Boden besonders entlang der Wände der Hauptkammer lagen eine Menge menschlicher Knochen. Sie erweckten den Eindruck, in kleinen Haufen deponiert worden zu sein, jeder mit einem Schädel. Die Analyse erwies indes, dass die Haufen aus Teilen von mehreren Individuen bestanden. Insgesamt waren es die Überreste von etwa 338 Menschen. Es fanden sich auch in der Verfüllung der Kammer Knochen. Sie gehörten zu mindestens elf Menschen. Zusammen mit den Knochen wurden die Krallen von mindestens acht Seeadlern und einigen anderen Vögeln gefunden. Dies stellt allerdings keinen Einzelfall dar, denn in anderen Anlagen wurden Hundeschädel, Tierknochen oder Fischgräten gefunden. Der Adler hatte bis in piktische Zeit symbolische Bedeutung auf den Inseln. Er findet sich in Stein geritzt auf dem Brough of Birsay und an der Brochruine Knowe of Burrian (Netherbrough).

Die Untersuchung der Schädel ergab, dass einige, meist die weiblichen, eine deutlich erhöhte Befestigung der Nackenmuskulatur auf der Rückseite des Schädels aufwiesen. Die Befunde wurden so interpretiert, dass die Individuen Lasten auf dem Rücken getragen haben, unterstützt durch ein Band über den Kopf. Elizabeth J. Glenn stellte beim Schädelvergleich mit anderen Schädeln der britischen Jungsteinzeit und Bronzezeit fest, dass die Frauen deutlich kleinere Köpfe als die Männer hatten. Laut Chesterman hat jeder Hinterhauptgelenkkopf normalerweise eine Facette, und das Auftreten von zwei Facetten auf einer oder beiden Seiten ist sehr ungewöhnlich. In einer Studie von 585 Schädel aus verschiedenen Ländern und Epochen hatten nur fünf (weniger als 1 %) diese Anomalie. Im Gegensatz dazu zeigen sich bei 30 Hinterkopfkondylen von Isbister zwei Facetten, und ein Schädel zeigte sogar eine dreifache Facette. Somit findet sich bei mehr als einem Drittel der Isbister Schädel diese seltene anatomische Konfiguration.

Das Museum
Der etwa 90-jährige Bauer Ronald Simison betreibt mit seiner Tochter ein kleines Museum bei der Farm, wo er Funde vom Isbister Cairn zeigt und Besucher nach Liddle und Isbister begleitet. Am Cairn hat er einen seilgezogenen Rollwagen installiert, auf dem der Besucher liegend durch den engen Zugang in die Kammer gelangt.
