Head off-road this winter to these 10 incredible locations in Saudi Arabia
Jumira Hancock
Adventure-seekers can follow the routes to head out for an unforgettable desert experience…
Venturing into the off-roading world can feel at once intimidating, frightening, exciting, and adventurous. Accessing some of the most remote and beautiful parts of Saudi Arabia is a major draw, yet it's also what can make it so challenging.
The Kingdom boasts a highly diverse geography, stretching through grasslands, coastlines, mountains, and vast deserts, studded with ancient life and archaeological mysteries. Its impressive spots for dune-bashing, exploring, and camping offer off-road driving enthusiasts a once-in-a-lifetime driving experience.
Plus, the weather now is perfect for an off-road excursion. If you've caught the desert driving bug, GMC Arabia has prepared a few routes spanning across the country's deserts, mountains, and shores that you might want to try.
Here's a look at ten incredible off-roading locations in Saudi Arabia. So, round up your friends and family, get the necessary gear, and head out for an off-road adventure.
Simply click the links below for coordinates.
Riyadh:
1. Shoaib Al-Sharij Al-Awsat
Although this mountainous region of Riyadh can be rugged, this spot is a great starting point for beginners. Visit during the wet season for a smoother drive and to uncover the secret desert oases.
2. Al Uyaynah Secret Lake
Located in the midst of a barren desert, this hidden gem is overflowing with wildlife and vegetation during the winter season.
3. Haeer River Crossing
Feeding the demand of professional off-roading lovers, this river poses many challenges along its vast stretch. Be wary of crossing the river, especially during the wet seasons. However, beginner off-roaders can still enjoy it as long as they adhere to the strict rules in place.
Al Madinah:
4. Mastoorah Desert
This arid desert stretches in between cities, offering a thrilling ride for intermediate drivers. However, it is also a good option for beginners who will be reassured that they won't stray too far off the road.
5. Hejaz Railway
Stretching through and around the city borders, this archaeological site offers many vantage points that can be visited by drivers of all off-road experiences.
6. AlUla Flower Rock
The old rock formation lives up to its history as it stands tall, resembling a dead flower. Don't forget to drop by the ancient city of Ula in a capable off-road vehicle, as the soft sand can be a challenge.
7. Mother of Seven Volcanoes
With over 2,000 dormant volcanoes stretched along Saudi's borders, this landmark is a sight to behold.
Makkah:
8. Shamanseer Mountain
Standing 1,600 metres above sea level, this archaeological site features old life and countless petroglyphs along its corroding walls.
9. Al Hada Palm Point
Famous for its scenic sites, beautiful sunrises and wildlife sightings, this mountainous region can be visited by all abilities across all seasons.
Tabuk:
10. Al Mafraq
This stretch of desert houses some of the region's most aesthetic rock formations, religious sites and caves. Drivers should be able to navigate this desert with little difficulty.
Before you gas up and go, take note: while the desert is a place of great adventure, it can also be the most unforgiving. So, here are some tips for off-road driving.
Lowering your tire pressure increases the surface area of your tire, letting you essentially float across the sand and grip better to rocky terrain.
Off-roading is all about keeping your momentum to get you across and over the soft and peak bits. Lowering your pace, thinking ahead, and keeping your engine within its power range will help keep your momentum.
Don't spin your tires. Spinning tires will only dig you into a deeper hole to get out of if you are not moving or risk puncturing your tire over sharp rocks.
Drive straight over obstacles. Keeping a safe distance between yourself and the car in front is important. This is even more so when driving in the desert or up/down mountain slopes.
Use a locator flag so that other vehicles can see you in the dunes.
Ensure that someone knows where you are going and the final location/destination of the drive.
Avoid driving in the sand alone. Try to have at least two vehicles on any drive.
Ensure you have plenty of water and some snacks.
Ensure that your vehicle is equipped with front and rear recovery points and a spare tire.
Pack a towing kit, shovel and basic tools on every trip.
Most importantly, have fun. Because what else do you do when off-roading?

Dr. Lawrence L. Kazmerski, Director National Center for Photovoltaics at National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Golden, Colorado/U.S.A., on the prospects of the U.S. Solar Market.
solutions: NREL published its study »A Preliminary Examination of the Supply and Demand Balance for Renewable Electricity«. What did you find out ?
Kazmerski: It is unmistakable: the United States must accelerate its renewable energy development and deployment to meet the growing demands for electricity in this country. The report warns that there are near-term shortages in renewable electricity supplies. These shortfalls could diminish with continuing federal and state support and the continued ramping of the industry in the next decade.
solutions: How do you estimate the role of solar energy in the U.S.A.?
Kazmerski: These solar markets have been forged by forward-looking decision makers in California, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, New Mexico – and a few other states. Concurrently, the U.S. public is becoming more aware and more concerned with the seriousness of global warming and its consequences. The U.S. Solar America Initiative has been an excellent first motivator. The U.S. is at the tipping point for solar, and what happens in the next year or two will make these technologies "spread like wildfire". I am very optimistic.
solutions: What do you think about the projects Stillwell Avenue subway station, Coney Island, and Nevada Solar One ?
Kazmerski: These two projects are high visibility and excellent examples of successful starts of complementary advanced solar technologies. The Stillwell Avenue subway station provides about two-thirds of the electricity needed for the subway station and its shopping arcade and is part of New York's forward- looking program to use clean-energy sources as part of its public transportation system. Nevada Solar One is the first large concentrated solar power (CSP) facility built in the U.S.. The parabolic mirrors move with the sun and focus the suns,s thermal energy onto evacuated receiver tubes, which collect the heat. This heat is then transformed into 64 mw of clean electricity, enough to service 40,000 homes in Las Vegas during the peak load times of the day. This project heralds the rebirth of solar thermal in the south-western part of the U.S. Other projects are now planned or underway not only in Nevada, but also New Mexico, Colorado, and California. All part of the growing solar boom, perhaps the 21st century "sun-gold" rush.
solutions: What do these projects teach company leaders and politicians in the rest of the country ?
Kazmerski: First, they have clearly shown that these technologies work – they are not just "in the future". Second, they have already been effective in bringing together some political forces to implement these technologies. The electronics industry sees PV as real – just look at the roles that Applied Materials, GE, and other companies have taken. The investment community sees a future, with venture capital funding in the 250 million Dollar range this past year. But we need real commitment – a revolution leading to the use of clean renewables. I worry that we don't fully grasp the immediacy of the problem in the U.S. I truly know that the U.S. can have 20 - 25 per cent of our electricity from solar by the time this century is quarter over.

Mies-inspired midcentury home is for sale in the UK's...
Property I by Claire Carponen
Mies-inspired midcentury home is for sale in the UK's Rye
Photography: The Modern House
The modernist ideals of Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe and the De Stijl movement have been fused together to create this single-storey midcentury home near Rye, East Sussex.
On sale for £2.25m via The Modern House, the three-bedroom house, designed by John Schwerdt in 1964, has a geometric abstract exterior and a cross-plan layout, which echoes Mies van der Rohe's Brick Country House.
Retaining most of its 1960s features, it has changed little from Schwerdt's original design. According to Historic England, he employed a 'deliberately low-key modern style to house works of art' for its first owner.
Its geometric layout and full-length windows create sightlines into other parts of the house, emphasising the open feel within the East Sussex property while linking it to the outside: it is set in 68 acres and is surrounded by Sylvia Crowe-designed gardens.
The living room has just two solid brick walls – the rest are made of glass and offer almost panoramic views of grounds that surround the listed home. External walls extend into the gardens, further enhancing its connection to the outdoors.

Beware of deep vein thrombosis
Pain, shortness of breath hint at life-threatening condition
When I travel abroad, which I do frequently for work, I try to run every day for an hour. It gives me energy and a great look at my new surroundings. After starting a run in Manila recently, I stopped three minutes into it. My breathing was shallow and labored. I also had nagging pain in my calves. The discomfort had been with me since I landed in the Philippines four days earlier.
So that morning I ran, walked, ran and walked for 30 minutes. I was confused, but I dismissed it as lingering jet lag and a byproduct of the intense heat. I decided to stop running for the rest of my trip, and wrote later in my running blog about how I was pushing myself perhaps too much.
Indeed, I was.
Back in Washington a few days later, I again was out of breath. But this time, I had just walked up two flights of stairs at home. Something was wrong. I opened my laptop computer, connected to Google, typed in "shortness of breath + calf pain + long flight," and found a possible cause that turned me cold: deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or blood clotting, that could travel up to my lung and cause a pulmonary embolism, a sudden blockage in a lung artery. And that, I read, could kill me.
A half-hour later, I drove to the hospital. There, I told the admitting nurse that I believed I had DVT and cited my conditions. She checked off a box on the form for "urgent," and 15 minutes later an ultrasound technician was looking at the veins inside my right calf.
"Oh, my god," she said in a whisper.
"You found a clot?" I asked.
"Don't move," she said.
She had found two, one a large clot just below my knee. She was worried that if I moved, the clot could travel up to my lungs. An orderly wheeled me back to the emergency room, where a nurse quickly gave me anti-clotting medicines.
A doctor came a few minutes later and said that based on my story, I had almost surely had a pulmonary embolism in Manila and again in Washington. And at that moment, he said, I probably had several clots in my veins. He told me that the anti-clotting drugs would not break apart the clots — medications to do that can cause serious bleeding and generally are used only in life-or-death moments in the emergency roon. Instead, he said, I would start a regimen of two medicines — Coumadin orally and daily shots of heparin — to prevent my clots from getting bigger and further clots from developing. I was not yet out of danger, and so I would be kept in the hospital for a few days to make sure everything was OK, he said.
"You're lucky," he said.
Actually I felt I had been lucky twice — first in Manila and then at home.
So began my education on deep vein thrombosis. After calling my family to let them know about the diagnosis, I returned to Google and learned that 350,000 to 600,0000 Americans get DVT every year, and up to 100,000 die from it.
I found out that the biggest risk factors for DVT include surgery, immobilization, smoking, obesity, genetic tendencies to form clots (see accompanying box) and ... long-haul flights. I started poking around some more and found the story of David Bloom, the NBC correspondent who died of a pulmonary embolism in Iraq in 2003. He had prolonged periods of immobility in several situations, including a long flight and time in a tank during which his knees were pulled up to his chin. Bloom's autopsy also revealed an inherited blood coagulation disorder.
DVT is frequently called "economy-class syndrome" because of the number of people who get it after sitting immobilized in cramped seats on long flights.
I started hearing from friends, including many who work in global health, a subject I've been writing about for the past two decades. A friend who once worked at the World Health Organization said he once had DVT after a long flight and now injected himself with an anti-clotting medicine 30 minutes before every long-distance trip; he said that enough people at WHO had DVT from flights that it was almost an occupational hazard.
Phyllis Kanki, an infectious-diseases professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, told me she traveled business class as much as possible in part because of the ability to elevate her legs, a way to lessen the risk of DVT. "The first thing I do once the plane takes off is to elevate my feet. It makes a big difference," she said. "The trouble with diagnosing DVT after long trips is that so many things are going on. You get off the plane, you're fatigued, everything feels weird, so it's really easy not to get the right cues. If you were at home, you would pick up on them immediately."
Several people told me about the physician John LaMontagne, deputy director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who died suddenly in 2004 from a pulmonary embolism after leaving a plane in Mexico City. I called his former boss, Anthony Fauci, to learn more about what happened.
"It was an extremely tragic situation," said Fauci, who is also a physician. "John was sitting in the very back of a crowded plane going into Mexico City. He was seemingly doing fine, and as he was going through the passport line, he had a pulmonary embolism, and it essentially killed him right then and there."
Fauci, one of the country's premier AIDS scientists, said he walks a lot on flights, even if he clogs the aisles. 'I have always been extremely attentive to the dangers of flying, so I spend a lot of my time walking down the aisle and getting in people's way," he said.
He explained how sitting in a cramped airplane seat for a long time could cause clotting: "If you are sitting down and the under part of your knee is constricted, when you bend the femoral vein, it creates more blood statis," or stagnation, which causes blood platelets to clump up and form clots, he said.
But Victoria Day, a spokeswoman for Airlines for America, a trade association, said in an email that there's "no specific link between air travel and DVT. The risk of developing a DVT during air travel is about the same as being seated for the same period of time at a desk, in a movie theater, on a bus or in a car."
I decided to reach out to a web-based clearinghouse of information on DVT called ClotCare. The doctor who founded the organization, Henry Bussey, said the site receives more than 500,000 hits a month.
Bussey said that the few studies on DVT showed that long-distance flying could be a "substantial risk." But he also said that those who had a tendency toward clotting were older people with poor circulation, women who were on hormonal medicine and people with a genetic condition that allows clots to form more easily, not necessarily people who frequently travel long distances. He suggested that my DVT could have been caused by a genetic disorder that made me predisposed to clotting.
So what does this mean for me?
I can't say just yet. After I'm off my anti-clotting medicine this spring, my doctor will test my blood to see if I have a genetic disorder. The result matters. And what will I do when I need to fly to Manila or Addis Ababa or some other distant city? I will probably shoot myself up with an anti-clotting medicine before each flight that is longer than six hours. I'll wear knee-high compression socks to prevent my blood from pooling in my legs. And I'll walk up and down the aisles, drink lots of water and avoid beverages that dehydrate me.
I dodged a bullet twice. No need to do it again.
On flights of more than five hours, experts say, it's important to drink lots of water and avoid drinks that cause dehydration, such as coffee, tea and alcohol.
Take frequent walks up and down the aisles. If you can't walk around, stand up at your seat and do toe lifts, heel lifts and ankle circles to keep the blood flowing.
Avoid wearing constricting clothing.
Take cat naps instead of sleeping for long periods.
Bring aboard a collapsible stool; using one allows shorter people in economy class to elevate their knees and reduce pressure on the femoral vein under the knee. n Wear compression socks to help your circulation.
Some people take baby aspirin before a long flight, but studies suggest aspirin isn't very useful at preventing DVT.
Swelling in the calf area. Pain in the calf, ankle or foot that is often worse when standing or walking. The pain often starts in the calf and can feel like cramping or a charley horse.
In the affected area, the skin will feel warm to the touch.
The skin color may also change color, sometimes turning pale, red or blue.
If you suspect you have DVT, get in touch with your doctor and describe your symptoms.
If you also have shortness of breath, go to an emergency room. You may have a pulmonary embolism, which can be life-threatening.

District Judge Marie Mallon, presiding over the hearing, said that she was not inclined to accept Modi's bail plea due the "high value amount" attached to the allegations against him and that he would have "every incentive" to evade surrendering before the court.
Fugitive diamond jeweller Nirav Modi was arrested in London where a court Wednesday remanded him in custody until March 29 on the ground that he would fail to surrender if granted bail. His arrest comes days after a London court issued an arrest warrant against him in response to a request by the Enforcement Directorate for his extradition in connection with the Rs 13,500-crore Punjab National Bank fraud case.
In a statement, the London Metropolitan Police said: "Nirav Deepak Modi, 48, was arrested on behalf of the Indian Authorities on Tuesday in Holborn." Later, he was produced before the Westminster Magistrates' Court Wednesday, where he contested his extradition to India and Modi's team made their case for bail, offering 500,000 pounds as security and an offer to adhere to "stringent" conditions.
With elections approaching, the government is likely to use Nirav Modi's arrest to blunt Opposition criticism that he fled the country on BJP's watch. However, in Mallya's case, it took several months to complete the proceedings — his extradition is still pending. Modi's extradition is likely to follow a similar procedure and the CBI and ED probe will have to stand the scrutiny of UK courts.
According to PTI, District Judge Marie Mallon, presiding over the hearing, said that she was not inclined to accept Modi's bail plea due the "high value amount" attached to the allegations against him and that he would have "every incentive" to evade surrendering before the court.
Earlier, the UK daily The Telegraph reported that Modi lives in an £8 million three-bedroom flat in London's West End runs a new diamond business run from an office in Soho.
Explained | What does Nirav Modi's arrest mean?
A senior ED official said: "We have received confirmation from the Scotland Yard police that Modi has been arrested. He will be produced before the court hearing our extradition plea today." Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said India continues to follow this matter with the UK to extradite Modi. "We welcome the fact that Nirav Modi has been arrested by the United Kingdom authorities pursuant to the arrest warrant issued by the Westminster Magistrate Court," he said.
Sources said the ED will also send a team to the UK soon to help the Crown Prosecution Service, which will argue the case on behalf of India, get a favourable order.
PTI also reported that the CPS told the court that Modi was wanted in India for fraud and money laundering amounting to the tune of $2 billion. Under UK domestic law, the CPS said he is liable on charges of conspiracy to fraud and conspiracy to conceal.
"We do object to bail because there are substantial grounds to believe the requested person (Modi) would fail to surrender," said Barrister Jonathan Swain, appearing for the CPS. Modi's legal team was headed by Barrister George Hepburne-Scott and his solicitor, Anand Doobay, is the same legal expert hired by liquor baron Vijay Mallya in his extradition proceedings against India.
Modi along with his uncle Mehul Choksi allegedly siphoned off Rs 13,500 crore from PNB through fraudulent of Letters of Undertaking (LoUs) and Letters of Credit. ED and CBI investigations have found that Modi diverted a large part of these funds to family members and for personal purposes.
Modi's case will likely mirror that of Mallya, who is out on bail since he was arrested on an extradition warrant in 2017. Once the extradition hearing begins, the courts will decide whether the offences Modi is charged are punishable in the UK as well. It will also look into whether the extradition will in any way violate Modi's human rights.
If it approves extradition, the courts will send the order to the Home Office for confirmation by UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid. The court order can be challenged and with no appeal, Modi will have to be extradited in 28 days. If the order is confirmed even during the appeal, the final decision will still rest with Javid to send Modi to India. Mallya's extradition is presently pending at this stage.
Meanwhile, a Mumbai court has issued a non-bailable warrant against Modi's wife Amy whose last known location was in the US. Amy is also an accused in the PNB scam case with Modi. The court has also allowed the Income Tax Department to auction 68 paintings owned by Modi after the ED gave a no objection certificate to the process.


It all starts with a hearty breakfast, then a hearty lunch, followed by a... Perhaps you get the picture now, and might have an inkling as to why riding a motorcycle for 500 kilometres and 10 hours might not have an impact on my ability to fit into shrinking riding gear, although I will be the first to admit that while finding one is losing weight is a wonderful thing, the realization that ones heated gear no longer functions at peak operating efficiency can be bit hard to bare in this colder climate.
We headed over the bridge then took a side cut down off of 16 where the bulk of the traffic is to be found, and skipped most of it on Route 955 through Murray Corner. A fun little route that bikers should be familiar with to get away from that trucker and tourist traffic on 16.
Once you exit Moncton itself, Route 114 winds its way along the shoreline of the Petitcodiac River, where the tidal effect of the Bay of Fundy is so great, that people have been known to surf on the river!
Just outside of Mountville NB, the road puts you right on the coast of the Bay of Fundy, and the view really improves!
I'd taken the main road in to Alma many times, but wanted to explore a bit so guided by my Garmin 60cx I turned south off of the 114 onto the 915 towards Harvey Bank along Marys Point Road.
They even built a lighthouse... For the tourists.
A road and a motorcycle gang. Perfection.
The wildlife area is just so beautiful and wide that I simply couldn't frame it properly, so you are just going to have to get on your motorcycle and go see it yourself.
stand up on the pegs and throttle out.
The 915 winds along Chignecto Bay and leads you to a wonderful access road to the Cape Enrage lighthouse and rock beach at the foot of Barn Marsh Creek.
Why was Brian constantly saying "A bit further back..."?
And another... Oops, same one sorry.
Selfie time. I had no idea it would be this hard to get my big head into such a little shot!
Looking north along Barn Marsh Creek.
I'm really enjoying the views from the shoulder of the 915 and Brian is patient enough to allow me my time with the camera.
The 915 ends abruptly as it spills us out into the small town of Alma NB where fishing and tourism seem to be the main industry for the inhabitants, but they are especially good at the baking of sticky buns where I purchase a half dozen to take home to my Island family, and at fish & chips across the street at The Boathouse Restaurant.
The BEST fish & chips in New Brunswick!
How do you compete with perfectly done generous portions of fish over top hot hand cut french fried potatoes with a side of fresh coleslaw? All it needs is a cool iced tea with lemon and you are in business.
If you have ever owned a KLR then there is no need to tell you what is happening in these pictures. For the rest of you... You never need to change the oil on a KLR, but it is necessary to always top it off. Over and Over again.
We gassed up in Alma, you know, the only fuel station this far south... and headed into Fundy National Park which winds it's way into the hills with some rapid elevation changes that make for a fun ride.
Inland and away from the coast we started to see more of the fall colours that we had been expecting to see on this ride.
As neither of us relished more time than necessary on the highway, we crossed over the Trans Canada Highway and made our way back towards Port Elgin and the Confederation Bridge on a number of lovely little roads, and Brian was politic enough not to laugh when I had to do a u-turn on a private road to get us back on track and headed home.
What, lost again? Maybe you should bring a map next time, Ron.

Excerpt: 'It's Fiction' by Yanyun Chen
From Sketching in white ink:
A line that lines
surrounds, borders.
Some call it a frame.
Keeping in mind that to frame not only entails what is brought in, brought together, drawn into;
not only what is left out, excluded, exorcised, exiled;
not only what is left on the border, in the in-between, unwanted yet not free, sans
papier;
but that to be framed also entails being accused of something that one has not — or, at least, might not have — done.
What Manet did [it is in any case one of the important aspects, I believe, of the changes contributed by Manet to western painting] was to make reappear, in a way, at the very interior of what was represented in the picture, these properties, these qualities or these material limitations of the canvas which painting, which the pictorial tradition, had up until then made its mission in some way to sidestep and to mask.
— Michel Foucault [1]
Whether or not Manet did it is another question.
One that remains perhaps unanswerable.
At best, we can attempt to make his works, his paintings, testify for — perhaps against — him.
Perhaps then, an altogether irrelevant question.
Which does not mean that one ceases, we cease, to continue the quest to attempt to discover something about his paintings, his work, something about him.
But perhaps, always already only something about Manet:
Éduoard might well remain hidden from us, there but not quite there. In the white shadows, as it were.
And in that very spirit: if Manet is the one who "reinvents [or perhaps he invents] the picture-object, the picture as materiality, the picture as something coloured which clarifies an external light and in front of which, or about which, the viewer revolves," [2] does Yanyun Chen invent [or, taking framing itself to its limits, I shall then say, Yanyun Chen is the one who invents] — although as one who knows very little of what I am writing about, who am I to say; so I shall say even though I have no right to — the object-picture; the picture that objects to itself being a picture, being depictured.
Not so much — or perhaps not just — the "reinsertion of the materiality of the canvas in that which is represented," [3] but the rejection of that which is represented to being presented.
A rejection which she has long realized, felt at least. For, even as she has sketched these objects, drawn them, she has never quite acknowledged her drawing, her role in them. Where amidst all the marks of, on, the object, her mark, the mark of her, her name — Yanyun Chen — remains invisible.
Which is not to say that she is missing.
For, just because her name remains veiled from us, from one, does not mean that it is not there — does not mean that it does not remain to haunt us.
For, one should try not to forget that forgetting happens to one, one has no control over what one forgets, over forgetting itself. Which means that there is no way to know, of knowing, if every moment of remembering, every act of memory, brings with it forgetting — that forgetting is potentially part of memory itself.
Yanyun Chen
— a name we forgot —
the name of a forgotten.
a name for forgetting itself.

In Eduard Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Bergère (1882) a woman bartender stands directly in front of us behind a bar, her hands confidently propped up — less obsequious than merely resigned, almost bored by the present narrative — ready to serve the customer, who is not only always right, but in this case on the right. I invoke the collective first "us" because, though we experience this painting alone, locked behind different POVs and angles, we do so collectively.

That Manet had money or Monet had manners?

To Monet's manner, or just Manet's mother?

Live video concert filmed on 18 May: Renaud Capuçon performs the Sonatas for violin and piano by Debussy and by Ravel, the latter orchestrated by Yan Maresz, with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France conducted by Lahav Schani, who also conducts Schoenberg's Pelléas et Mélisande.
Two of the greatest French composers share the first part of this concert given by Renaud Capuçon: Claude Debussy (1862-1918) and Maurice Ravel (1875-1937). Their violin sonatas were composed only several years apart: Debussy composed his sonata at the end of the First World War (1916-1917) - its first performance was for the benefit of all soldiers with eye injuries - whereas Ravel's sonata was composed between 1922 and 1927, and first performed by the composer at the piano with violinist Georges Enesco. The version performed here was orchestrated by Yan Maresz in 2015 for Renaud Capuçon and the Orchestre National de Lyon, conducted by Leonard Slatkin.

Mammootty's forthcoming film, to be directed by the Rafi-Mecartin duo 'Love in Bangkok' which was earlier named 'Love in Singapore' shooting starts today in Karaikudi in Tamilnadu. Later the team would move to Singapore for rest of the shoot.
Earlier Singapore was fixed as one of the locations, but now due to practical reasons, especially since the makers preferred Bangkok to Singapore, the location has been changed and hence the change in name.
To be produced under the banner of MHM Productions, 'Love in Bangkok' has Mammootty playing the role of a very rich scrap dealer, who is called by everyone as 'Machu'. And he has a habit of reading and treasuring old books that reach his hand. At a stage Machchu takes some very strange decisions regarding his life and the decision proves to be a turning point in his life.
The Mumbai model Keerthi Kulhar who features in the Taj Mahal tea ad with Saif Ali Khan is going to be Mammookka's heroine in the film.
Kochi and Bangkok will be the two prime locations for the shoot of this film. 'Love in Bangkok' is expected to hit the screens on January 26th next year.


Mild steel is not a specific material, but rather a catch-all for steels (iron alloys) that have relatively low-levels of carbon. This means that generally they can't easily be hardened (unlike high-carbon steels) and they are relatively ductile (easy to bend). While this limits their applications, it does make them relatively easy to produce and they are especially suited to to 'drawing' or 'cold rolling' into sized bars and flats. They are also generally easy to machine.
Though mild steels have a low carbon content, they are still classed as 'carbon steels'. The 'mild steels' most commonly encountered in the UK are designated EN1a, EN3 and EN8.
Also known by the instantly forgettable code of 230M07, you are still more likely to find 'bright mild steel' classified as EN1a. EN1a is available as round, square and flat bar with a good finish and fairly accurately sized (you can buy accurate ground bars as well). It is a great all-round material for parts that are not going to be highly stressed or subjects to high levels of wear. It might not be the ideal material for making machine tools for use in a factory, but is usually fine for making your own devices. It machines easily and gives a good finish, the variant EN1a Pb has added lead and is even freer machining.
It's low carbon content makes it virtually impossible to harden but it can be case hardened (although EN1a Pb doesn't case harden well). It should not be welded.
Bright drawn metal has a lot of 'locked in' stress. If you do any asymmetrical machining of EN1a bar don't be surprised to see it bend like a banana! This, rather than its relatively low strength, makes it unsuitable for parts such as crankshafts.
In practice, you are likely to find that EN1a is the most useful general purpose, inexpensive material for non-critical components but is best avoided for bolts, studs or high wear/load parts.
EN3, also known as 070M20, is a slightly higher carbon content mild steel that is suitable for welding and one of its main uses is for making steel fabrications. It has good machineability, but isn't quite as pleasant to work as EN1a, being best machined with a lubricant.
It is typically available as bright drawn bars and a hot rolled bars. Hot rolled steel is less accurately sized and has a poor finish but it is stress-relieved so it is the ideal alternative to bright bar for asymmetrical or heavily machined parts. It is also suitable for making lightly loaded fixings.
EN3 can be case hardened.
EN8, or 080M40, is actually a medium-carbon steel but it is usually classed as a 'mild steel'. It is stronger than EN3 but does not machine so well and a cutting fluid of some sort is essential to get a reasonable finish.It is generally available a bright drawn round bars.
Like EN1a and EN3 it tends to bend rather than break, which can be a useful property in situations where complete failure would cause a hazard. Unlike EN3 and EN1a it is reasonably easy to harden EN8 to increase its surface hardness and wear resistance, but it does not become as hard as high-carbon steels.
EN8 welds well and even fairly thick sections (up to 18mm) can be welded without preheating. It is a good choice for parts or fixings that have to bear moderate loads where going to a higher carbon steel would be overkill.

SD-WAN FEATURED ARTICLE
Evolution of Hybrid Workplace, SD-WAN Going Mainstream and Criticality of Edge Networking are Top Three Trends for 2021
By Special Guest
Morten Illum, EMEA Vice President at Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company,
We made it through 2020. But now it is time to turn off our out-of-(home)offices and roll up our sleeves once more.
As our thoughts turn to what 2021 has in store, here are three key trends that are firmly on my radar this year.
The continued evolution of the hybrid workplace
It is perhaps no surprise that this is first up. It's been top of the business agenda for the past year after most organizations found themselves converting almost overnight to a work from home operating model thanks to COVID-19 and only able to welcome back a skeleton in-person staff since.
But as vaccination programmes roll out across EMEA and people are allowed to return to the office in far more significant numbers, I believe we will see the emergence of a new type of hybrid workplace. Or more accurately, a hybrid workspace. After all, the definition of a place is "a particular position, point, or area in space" and our future work environment is likely to be anything but fixed.
The more significant change, however, is that the new hybrid workspace will be a deliberate one. Of course the redesign of the office as a concept was in play well before COVID-19 turned the world upside down. But for the past year, the hybrid workspace been a reactive one – hybrid by necessity versus by design.
As businesses took the time they've had this year to plan their return in more detail, we can expect to see more fundamental changes starting to shape our office environments. In addition to the necessary health and safety measures, I predict we'll continue to see less desk space and more meeting room space, for example, as day-to-day interactions are kept to video conference and the office is reserved for bigger group get-togethers.
SD-WAN goes mainstream
A quick Google (News - Alert) search will show you countless articles proclaiming that this is the year of SD-WAN. Certainly, it was said about both 2019 and 2020, but we really mean it for 2021!
Again, one of the key drivers for this has been the pandemic – and the spotlight it has shone on the need to better connect home, branch and cloud environments to deliver a consistent application experience, whether an employee chooses to log on from the office, home or on the road (imagine!). As businesses look to the coming year, support for a distributed workforce will remain a top priority, making SD-WAN critical to successfully navigating the "new normal."
This acceleration of interest in SD-WAN is something that is coming through loud and clear in conversations with partners and customers. Case and point, on a recent call with a security company, they mentioned that every current customer discussion ends in them being told that the customer has an SD-WAN project underway and that this project needs to be defined before the customer can make any changes to their security policies or vendor of choice.
This is just one example, but it certainly points to the fact that SD-WAN is becoming a much broader customer need throughout 2021.
Taking the data centre to the Edge
The explosion of data has been a running theme throughout my posts for some time now – but as COVID-19 has accelerated the digital transformation of nearly every organization out there, the amount of data being generated at the Edge has never been higher – or indeed more vulnerable – and the need for businesses to quickly and efficiently collect, secure, process and act on that data has never been more pressing.
With the hybrid workplace set to make the situation even more complicated in 2021 with people constantly moving in and out of the office environment, the traditional model of a single data centre located at a company headquarters is no longer fit for purpose. Instead, we will see enterprises starting to transition to a "centres-of-data" networking model – with multiple micro data centres positioned at the Edge to help convert all that data into simplified IT operations, accelerated service delivery, and streamlined IT deployment.
The challenges of the past year are by no means over – and the above three trends will certainly keep things interesting in 2021.

Discrete manufacturers produce and sell high-quality, highly complex products such as automobiles, technology, and machinery. The manufacturing environment for these products is characterized by a need for flexibility in order to effectively link demand with production, improve quality and time-to-market, and lower costs. Goods are typically mass-produced, using standard assembly lines and require a means of managing mass customization.
Due to the wide range of requirements and diverse group of stakeholders, discrete manufacturers face countless challenges. These challenges range from shorter product lifecycles due to rapid new product innovations, increased use of a global supply chain, and the need to manage strategic partnerships across that supply chain.
Sparta quality management system (QMS) software helps discrete manufacturers efficiently manage product quality and business processes throughout their organization and across their global supply chains. It allows companies to mitigate risk and reduce the complexity of business processes while fostering collaboration and visibility among suppliers.
Our domain expertise can help your organization to effectively manage events or incidents using industry best practices including 8D, 6-sigma, and other corrective/preventive actions. It can also help you adhere to standardized and harmonized quality systems for ISO/TS (16949, 9001, 14001, 27001) standards using out-of-the-box bet practices with streamlined deployment lifecycle. See why discrete manufacturing companies turn to Sparta to log, manage, track, and report on failures/events, create high quality products, efficiently manage the supply chain, and reduce cycle time and time-to-market.

Everything today in the world of online casino is about increasing interactivity between the players and the casino. We have already written articles about RFID casino chips that enable casinos to track customers' playing habits and also to dissuade casino theft as these new casino chips are difficult to cash out. This is the case of the much publicized casino burglary from a Las Vegas casino in December 2010 who escaped with $1.5 million, some valued at $25,000.
The fact that more and more casino chips are now embedded with radio frequency identification tags means that each chip can be identified and traced by the casino including serial number, value and date of manufacture.
New developments in RFID chips now also enable casinos to identify casino cards as well as casino chips. The casino cards incorporate flexible identity chips that are indiscernible to the casino players. However, these are tagged only for entertainment reasons and not for security.
Pokertronic is a German company that makes poker tables that are able to read these new RFID playing cards. The reader in the table identifies each individual card placed on the table. Such poker tables are for example used in poker tournaments that are transmitted to audiences around the world by television. The cards placed on the table are read and transmitted to the television screen.

Beirut Explosion Leaves At Least 60 Dead Including One Australian
Thousands injured
A massive explosion has shaken Beirut overnight, killing at least 60 people and injuring thousands more.
The massive blast, which appears to have centred from the city's port area, generated seismic waves equivalent of a magnitude 3.3 earthquake across the Lebanese capital.
"It is very distressing, I can confirm that there has been one Australian who has been killed, which is terribly devastating and obviously we can't reveal details of the specifics of that at this time," Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Channel Seven.
"But our sympathies to all of the people of Lebanon. There is such a large Lebanese Australian community here and they would be worried about loved ones.
"Where our embassy is, it was significantly impacted. But we can report all of the staff there are well. But the building that the embassy is in has been significantly compromised. I'm pleased that apart from some cuts and scratches, our staff are all OK."

FSDreamTeam forum > FS9 support > Los Angeles support FS9 > AES for KLAX?
Oliver Pabst has released today its newest version of AES (V2.14) but unfortunately without KLAX. As I understood, he hasn't received the appropriate files from you yet despite the fact that KLAX has been released for FS9 already some weeks ago.
Could you please let me know if you plan to send him these files so that KLAX will also be supported by AES at the latest with the next version? Thanks a lot in advance.
There are still some things we wanted to change in the jetways and the AFCAD, in some parkings the jetway type is not appropriate for the parking size, and we have been a bit busy right now with the O'Hare update, the Zurich update and GSX all happening at the same time, but we'll send the files as soon as possible, after we corrected all the remaining issues, that would otherwise break AES if we update the AFCAD positions/types after its release.
Perfect, thanks a lot for your quick answer - I appreciate it very much.
Umberto, "soon as possible" is 2011 or 2012?
Ohh.. people. Would it be possible to have it by Christmas?
[email protected], Z170 Delux, 980Ti-6GB5700, 2TB EVO850, 16GB DDR4 RAM Win7/64 PRO.
I have the FSX version so I have been waiting a willie now for AES. VERY disappointing Umberto that you all did not get the data files to Oliver. I am sure many many others feel the same way. We don't care about internal issues with the company, we would simply like to have AES for LAX as quickly as possible. Can you make this a priority?
As I've said in my previous message, there are still some things we would like to change in the jetways and the AFCAD, and this will affect AES too, meaning it will BREAK it (possibly immediately after you pay for its credits), if we release another update after AES gets support for KLAX.
I'm sorry, but we don't have the slightest intention to change the priority we have set to released OUR OWN upgrades, just because this might delay AES support a bit.
So, please, understand there's only so much we can do at the same time, which means priorities have to be set, and someone WILL be disappointed anyway: O'Hare users were rightfully demanding their promised update and they waited a lot, Zurich users are already waiting the promised Terminal B update, and it would be really too much asking to put GSX on the backburner, to make a priority supporting AES.
So, it will come, but you'll have to wait a bit.
Hi Umberto. I'm glad to hear you are working on the AFCAD files. Now is when I feel my purchase is worth what I paid for. I am not familiar with any other program than AFCAD to adjust parking assignments, and I was getting dissapointed you were leaving it to us to use other programs, as AFCAD, is what you have with your other sceneries. I have not been able to use the scenery since I purchased it. I work at LAX and most departures and landings are to the west (toward the ocean). Not as it was in the file we all purchased. Departures and arrivals to the east are only after 11:00pm, due to noise abatement, and when the weather changes drastically, such as thunderstorms. Take offs on the north side are relegated to Runway 24L and on the south side to Runway 25R.
I'm looking forward to hear about your progress. Thanks again for your outstanding support.
I have not been able to use the scenery since I purchased it.
"Not being able to use is", it's really over the top. The scenery is obviously usable as it is now, and everyone is using without any issues.
I work at LAX and most departures and landings are to the west (toward the ocean). Not as it was in the file we all purchased. Departures and arrivals to the east are only after 11:00pm, due to noise abatement, and when the weather changes drastically, such as thunderstorms. Take offs on the north side are relegated to Runway 24L and on the south side to Runway 25R.
I'm sorry, but this can't be entirely fixed because how FS9/FSX works. It's not possible to just close a runway for takeoff/landing, the "close" flag will only affect the runway scoring with its weight, but there are other factors too, like distance from the gate (for takeoff) and of course wind.
The only way to "fix" would be altering the runways sizes, forcing Flight sim to prefer some runways, but that would mean both ends will go down in usage.
This is not really the place to explain in detail all the issues of runway selection, if you want to know more you can search or ask on fsdeveloper.com forum, were there are many AFCAD expert that will confirm this is not as simple as it sounds and we must accept Flight sim limitations.
So, the AFCAD improvements will act mostly on jetways (which is why I've said it would break AES it it was already released, but this is FSX only), parking sizes/types and perhaps airlines assignments, but not really runway usage, surely not in the way you would like it to be, because it's not really possible in FS9/FSX, unless using multiple AFCADs and switch between them.
Let me start by pointing out that, up to now, I have purchased all of your sceneries, including some in Europe where I don't do a whole lot of sim flying.
This unhappy latest development with AES and KLAX gives me reason to reconsider that sort of support for your company in the future.
I bought KLAX after seeing you post that support for AES was forthcoming and the files were soon on the way to Oliver...not that it was forthcoming *after everything else you might have in your queue* as you've posted here today.
And let's be clear--this is not an issue of "supporting AES"--it's an issue of supporting a significant number of YOUR customers that use your scenery in conjunction with AES. For me, KLAX without AES is hobbled and only partially usable, and I would not have bought it at the time had your priorities been made clear.
This is, to me, like being served a nice steak in a restaurant, and then having the waiter tell me he doesn't plan to serve the rest of my meal until every other customer in the restaurant is served. Yeah, it's a great steak, but without the side dishes it's not the meal I ordered or expected...and the waiter's priorities make me more focused on being angry at him than the part of the meal he already served.
For me, KLAX without AES is hobbled and only partially usable, and I would not have bought it at the time had your priorities been made clear.
I think Virtuali's priorities have always been clear... When GSX was announced, he made it clear that it would receive priority over AES, and he was very clear that if the FS9 version of LAX wasn't released, there would be no AES support. If you use FSX and purchase GSX, I doubt you'll miss AES at all.
No Bruce, Bob is absolut 100% right. Well said Bob. FSX/9 is dying? You do know that XP10 and MS flight will come along soon?
"United we stand and divided we fall"
Yews, Bob said it well. It is the same old put off as always! Now we have to buy an update!! What's with this???
No Bob/Lindbergh, Bruce is absolutely and 100% right: expecting that supporting AES would be our top priority BEFORE several other updates we promised long before it, and considering the imminent GSX release, is really asking too much. Nobody said we would never support AES at all, you just can't demand we put this before anything else.
But that's not the point, you keep ignoring the main part of the explanation, that we still have some issues left to fix in the AFCAD for KLAX, which will break AES if it was released starting from the current one, since it's exactly jetways positions and types we need to change, some parkings are misaligned/misplaced.
Hmm.. Yes it's your compagny, so U rule it... good luck Mr. Umberto when customers will run away.


We will only breed to the highest standards of health, temperament and structure. Therefore, sometimes a puppy we purchase, produce & keep back or co-own does not pass all of their clearances. Also, at times, due to unforeseen circumstances, a buyer can no longer keep their dog. When any of these situations occur, breeders like ourselves may have a dog that needs to be re-homed.
Here you will find information and photos about any available adults and/or youngsters that either we have, or are available through other breeders we know. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions.

It occurred to me on Monday that I probably should've posted this BEFORE Easter Sunday instead of the week following, but alas, here is an idea you can save for next year.
I mixed neon purple food coloring with the batter, but I still haven't mastered this technique, nor do I feel like I really need to since I generally shy away from using coloring in general. The batter turned a brilliant shade of deep lavender, but once the Bunny was fully cooked on one side, the pancake turned a more natural tan color and the color remained on the ugly, bubbled side. I may have overcooked them, as I have a tendency to do so.

Well, we know the first Thanksgiving wasn't as joyful as the images we were shown growing up, but let's just pretend for a moment. Let's just close our eyes and imagine everyone getting along, especially in light of circumstances in Ferguson.
So this holiday, hold your loved ones closer and hug a little longer. Even if you have a relative whose wise cracks get on your last nerve, brush it off. Let it go. And remember that nothing is more important than family.
Since my little eater is a scaredy cat, we tend to focus on the lighter aspects of Halloween, like black cats, pumpkins, bats and ghosts. Earlier in the season, he declared he would dress as a ghoul for Halloween this year, but as we were flipping through the pages of the Party City costume catalog, he turned his head away as we reached the scarier costumes. He couldn't even bear to look at the page even for a minute to pick out the costume he wanted, so a tiger it is.
Looking for more Halloween pancake ideas? Try this bat, witch, spider web, devil, vampire, jack o'lantern, wild thing and monster!
Last week we experienced a debilitating amount of snowfall on the Virginia coast. Two days later, the temperature rose to 60 degrees and the snowman my husband and son crafted in the back yard was nothing more than a puddle.
This pancake could have been great, but alas, I am out of practice with cutting out paper snowflakes.
Tips: Make a stencil out of paper and place on your pancake. Sift a thin layer of powdered sugar on top and remove the stencil. Voila!
Here is to a prosperous and delicious new year!
I've updated my Santa pancake for Bisquick. He no longer resembles Jerry Garcia! Check it out here.

"I feel proud working here because one day I was just like these kids; I felt lost, insecure and needed help."
by	Marwa Abdallah	Wednesday May 18th, 2016	2541	Views
Over the course of the past five years, the international community has turned its attention to the Syrian refugee crisis, which has been escalating until it reached its peak in 2015. In the meantime, however, the African war-torn countries have neither come any closer to peaceful resolutions, nor have the African refugees found true sanctuary in the neighboring countries.
Despite the long presence of the African refugee community in Egypt, the majority still find themselves unwelcome and ill-treated. According to the UNHCR's latest figures, Egypt today is home to over 42,000 African refugees and asylum seekers from Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia alone, while other UN figures rise to at least 125,000 to include African refugees and asylum seekers from other countries.
Among the limited efforts exerted to assist Egypt's African refugees and reduce their suffering is the African Hope Learning Center (AHLC) in Cairo's Maadi.
On an annual basis, AHLC hosts up to 500 students and teachers from over 14 African countries including North and South Sudan, Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Burundi, Uganda, Angola, Liberia and Kenya. "Most of our children have lost at least one of their parents and other family members," reads the AHLC website.
Due to many paperwork requirements the refugees cannot meet, in addition to the overcrowded classes of the Egyptian schools, many refugee children stand very slim chances at getting an education in Egypt.
However, to both the students and teachers, AHLC is more than just a school. "Most of the time, the teacher plays both roles of teaching and parenting," comments Sohair, a teacher at AHLC.
"[The students'] behavior and characters change by time," says Bryan, another one of AHLC's teachers. "They become more sociable and involved."
"Some of them when they first join the school, they act violently due to the violence they experienced at their homelands and in their current homes," adds Sohair. "They improve through counseling and learning. They become more peaceful and self-confident."
Unlike those at other schools, teachers at AHLC constantly surround their students with love affection, understanding and patience.
"I feel proud working here because one day I was just like these kids; I felt lost, insecure and needed help," expresses Sohair. "I can relate to what they are going through and I feel that it's my duty to help them get better."
"I'm passionate about kids and I have always wanted to be working in philanthropy and I feel that working in AHLC is aligned with my goal in life," says Bryan.
According to many AHLC students, when they are in school, they feel the peace they miss outside. They feel safe and secure, as well as welcomed, unlike the street, where they feel like unwanted strangers who are different and unaccepted.
Take a closer look at the daily interactions between AHLC's students and teachers:
School security man sits by the school gate during school time
Students and teachers in the playground during morning prayers
Kids raise their hands to answer their teacher
Teacher educates children about personal hygiene during the morning line
Students watch a movie being projected in the playground

Students run to their classes

Students wait in line to receive their Christmas gifts
School board and teachers giving away Christmas gifts

Students play in the street in front of the school after school time

Despite the immense devotion and passion – which are the primary drivers for the entire staff of teachers and volunteers – AHLC's dependence on donations places a constantly financial struggle before the school administrators.
