The Hood is a new baby in the family of bars and pubs in Mumbai, raised by two engineers namely Prattyush and Akash. They have had their share of being tortured in some well known IT companies for years until now (I'm an engineer as well which is why I get it). Now they are off it and are doing what they do best. They are definitely proving some heads wrong who think that only people from a hospitality background can do well in this field. Engineers can really do whatever, no?
The Hood is a very affordable place with AMAZING food and great cocktails. The sound system is rad and every Tuesday night is a karaoke night. My girlfriends and I had a very musical night last Tuesday. And we realised something. We CANNOT sing. No, really. You'll see it in the vlog I'll be uploading on YouTube soon. *eye rolls* Surprisingly, some regulars here sing damn well and this place is apt for all age groups.
Mr. Mani is the manager who made sure we had a great time. He's the chillest person you'll meet here! The entire staff otherwise, is very welcoming and friendly. Anyway, without further ado, let me tell you about the drinks and dishes I tried.
The taste and ingredients of this cocktail is as unique as its name. Although, this drink is not for the weak hearted or tender throats, rather. It consists of Tequila (obviously!), a kingfisher pint and some amount of Tobasco spicy sauce which makes it unexplainably delicious.
If you ask me about the cocktails I can have tons of, this one's going to top the list. It's a vodka based cocktail with the flavours of lychees and lemongrass. Every sip is ultra refreshing and if you're more of a mocktail person, this cocktail is going to be your poison. It's THAT smooth.
I love wine and Sangria has always been my favourite wine based cocktail. Until I tasted this one. Red wine with whiskey sour is what this cocktail is comprised of and I'd keep going back to The Hood for this drink.
This one tastes as good as it looks. It comes in a flask with herbs and dry ice flowing out as it's poured into the glass, which makes it look extremely fascinating. You can't resist snapchatting this drink, I bet. It's a white rum and vodka based cocktail. Wait for the YouTube video to see it yourself.
I don't like whiskey but this cocktail is gooood. Whiskey spiked with herbs and spices and garnished with cinnamon and lemon. This one's a little strong as compared to Rum Bhi Hai Josh Main.
You know what happens when dark rum comes together with white rum, pineapple and passion fruit? The party starts. Yes, this drink will get you up on your feet and movin'. Not to forget the insane sound system The Hood has installed, it's impossible to not want to dance in your chair already!
Can a Casanova ever go wrong? That too a caribbean one? Exactly. A real treat, this one. Malibu rum and cranberry juice are made for each other, now we know.
A dessert cocktail that includes white chocolate, rum and pineapple juice will give you the chills. I'm not a fan of white chocolate which is why this drink didn't fascinate me as much but feel free to sip on it if white chocolate is your thing.
Not like any other sangria, I mind you. The levels of citric acid added onto red wine is perfectly measured and appealing.
Crispy edible baskets stuffed with aloo and chole chaat, perfect to start your evenings with. Especially, if you have a taste palette for sweet and sour things in life.
Now, I am a sucker for french fries (if you didn't know that already) and I've never seen this much a variety in fries on one plate. Cajun, rosemary and garlic parmesan fries served with three different dips – cheesy, spicy and garlicky. Explore away!
Creamy and cheesy tandoori mushrooms served with green chutney is one dish every mush-lover should get their hands on.
Papdi chaat taken to another level, not too spicy and surprisingly goes well with cocktails!
In large quantity, with a lot of cheese on a crispy base. Need I say more? Tastes good with any wine based cocktail BTW.
Personally, I'm not a fan of potatoes with skin which is why this dish didn't fascinate me as much but the toppings were damn tasty. Tomato based masala topped with a lot of melted cheese is what made it better.
I tried the paneer tikka samosassy and oh. my. god. – This is one dish I'm going to go back for. P.S: I don't like samosas yet this one turned out to be my favourite at The Hood.
Paneer ones I got to lay my hands on and totally loved it. The best spicy vegetarian starter to munch on with some beer? This is it.
Salli chicken stuffed inside Mumbai's love – bread pavs, topped with some melted cheese is a fusion dish every non-veg Mumbaikar ought to try. I also had a chance to see how the filling is made and even a small dish like this one which looks easy to cook is an expert's work. I filmed the head Chef – Sameer, making this and will be sharing it with you on YouTube in a couple of days!
Chicken legs stuffed with cheese. Need I say more? DELICIOUS.
I'm sorry if my ratings look out of the way but that's how good the dishes were. You'll know when you try them for yourself. This one comes wrapped in silver foils which when opened, have a lot of melted cheese and malai with bits of chicken inside. Also, the quantity is a lot.
I LOVE boneless fish. And this one comes with seasoned red and black pepper sauce. My favourite dish on the non-veg menu here.
Mustard fish tikka served with green chutney, a moderately spicy delight.
I do not like mutton but I loved this dish so imagine how great it actually will be if you already are a sucker for mutton.
Every bite of this sponge cake soaked in three types of milk will makes you yen for more. An impeccable conclusion to my enticing feast, must say.
So, when are you planning to visit The Hood? Stay tuned to my YouTube for the best part is yet to go live. Watch me and my girl gang sing awfully!


How would you know if it's great or not? The answer is deceptively simple: every client needs to echo your uniqueness over and over again. But how are you supposed to hear that echo? Interestingly that echo is located in the testimonial. But not just anywhere in the testimonial, but in one really interesting area. Listen to find out and then do the same for your products and services as well.


The U.S. dollar pushed higher against a basket of its key rivals on Thursday, building on its recent strong gains, while the pound slipped amid softer risk sentiment.
The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback™s strength against a basket of six major currencies, was up 0.14% 95.80 by 03:54 AM ET (08:54 AM GMT), after gaining about 1% over the previous five sessions.
The euro edged lower against the U.S. currency, with EUR/USD dipping 0.11% to 1.1386 as persistent worries about the euro zone economy weighed.
The pound was weaker against the dollar, with GBP/USD down 0.18% to 1.2857 as uncertainty over Brexit rumbled on. Sterling was a touch lower against the euro, with EUR/GBP inching up 0.14% to 0.8856.


What do you get when you combine crystal blue lakes and endless forests of red, gold and green with hulking mountains of soot-coloured rock? Scotland, of course!
I recently had the chance to travel to Scotland during my university's mid-semester break. In the five days that I was there, I absolutely fell in love with all this country had to offer – despite the chilling cold! Scotland is definitely one of the most magical places on earth.
Don't believe me? Then check out these photos to see if they prove it!

ASIC today announced a package of interim measures relating to short selling.
The past week has seen unprecedented turmoil in the financial markets. The US Securities and Exchange Commission and UK Financial Services Authority have responded in recent days by announcing new rules to regulate short selling.
thirdly, for covered short sales which continue to be permitted, ASIC has introduced reporting requirements through the ASX.
These measures are to operate from opening of trading on Monday 22 September 2008 until the implementation of the Government's foreshadowed amendments in relation to short selling.
ASX has decided (and ASIC agrees) that from Monday 22 September 2008, all securities will be removed from the ASX Approved Product List for naked short sales, until such time as the Government's foreshadowed legislation amendment in relation to short selling activity takes effect.
The practical effect of this action is to require most short sales to be covered.
ASIC today released a Regulatory Guide on Short Selling that clarifies what constitutes a naked short sale.
The guide identifies that a naked short sale occurs unless the seller has 'a presently exercisable and unconditional right to vest'. ASIC has also clarified through the guide that this means a legally binding commitment is required from another party such as a stock lender before the sale is entered into. ASIC will not accept an informal promise to locate stock before settlement day as sufficient for this purpose. Day traders, for example, will need stock to sell, before any sale.
ASIC has clarified the meaning of covered short sales. That is the seller must have a 'presently exercisable and unconditional right to vest'. Put simply, for example, a short seller must have a binding stock lending agreement for specific stock in place.
What disclosure is required for covered short selling?
ASIC has exercised its power under s1020F of the Corporations Act to require disclosure of covered short selling effected by reliance on stock lending agreements for specific stocks. This means a customer will be obliged to inform the broker that a transaction is a covered short sale of this type and the broker then must inform the ASX. The broker must ask the client if it is a covered short sale before taking the order.
ASX advises that it will report each morning on short sales that are reported to it for the previous day, consistent with its present reporting of naked short sales.

Gifts for the Pet-Lovin' Mama!
Need a last minute gift for Mother's Day? Stop in and check out our great selection!
It's spring, and that means thunderstorm season is beginning. It also may mean hiding, panting, pacing, shaking, stressed-out dogs. Is your pet one of them?
Understanding why they are truly afraid can benefit us in easing their fear. Lori Mendelsohn Thomas of Wisconsin Pet Care has written a brief, excellent article entitled, "How to Calm a Dog that is Scared of Thunder" that gives us some insight into our pet's astraphobia--fear of thunderstorms.
Read more about Thundershirts at endoftheleash.com or stop in and talk to one of our helpful staff.
One of Lori's suggestions is the use of a Thundershirt. Thundershirts are highly rated for effectiveness in dogs AND cats, and we have them at End of the Leash! Stop in to see what they're all about, or read about them on our webstore.
To understand what happens to a dog during this time, you have to understand the acute sense of hearing they have. Dogs can hear two times, if not more, than a human can.
During a thunderstorm, the atmosphere is filled with atomically charged molecules of static electricity. There are sudden changes in the barometric pressure, rolling claps of thunder shaking the house and bright lights flashing.
Since dogs are more sensitive to noise, there may be hissing, crackling, or high-pitched sounds they hear, but we don't. As they hear the earth moving, literally, it causes special fears and anxieties that even humans don't understand.
---> Click here to read the full article!
Need help with training your dog?
Starting May 19th from 3-6:30pm, you can schedule a half hour session for you and your dog to work on the problem of your choice with Debbie--for only $30!
Schedule time to connect with your pet!
We are pleased to welcome back Animal Communicator Carolee Biddle at our Mukwonago store! To schedule your appointment, please call us at 262-363-3338.
Carolee also is a Reiki Master, and if enough interest is shown she may offer Reiki sessions as well. Please give us a call to let us know of your interest so we can pass that on to her!
Please give her a Like on her Animal Communications Facebook page and check out her website at www.animal-connections.com for lots more info!

Bruce Woodall Joins us for our Final SwingThought TOUR Q&A of the Year
The Golf Coaches Association of America, in cooperation with its long-time corporate partner, the SwingThought TOUR, will feature a monthly Q&A with former collegians who are currently playing or have played on the SwingThought TOUR. Long considered the premier developmental tour in the United States, thousands of former college players have started their professional careers there. More than 250 SwingThought TOUR alumni have or continue to play on the PGA TOUR.
This month we spoke with Bruce Woodall, a four-time letter winner at the University of Virginia.
Q: What have been some of your best experiences on the SwingThought TOUR?
The competition, by far. There are so many good players out there, and to be able to travel and compete against them as we attempt to navigate our way to the next level, makes each week an enjoyable learning experience.
Q: What were the courses you grew up playing and do you still get a chance to play any of them?
I grew up in a small, rural town (Yanceyville, NC), and played a few courses in the area, but mostly played out of Caswell Pines. I do not get back there very often, but I have played a few of my childhood courses from time to time over the past couple of years.
Q: At what point did you know you wanted to play golf at the collegiate level?
In high school, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to choose whether to go to college for golf or basketball or a mix of the two. During my Junior year, I began receiving strong interest from ACC schools and other high level programs, and having grown up in "ACC country" I could not pass that up. I also figured I could possibly play golf for a longer period of time, and could have the opportunity to make some money in the future if I worked at it hard enough.
Q: You played collegiately at the University of Virginia. How was that experience of team golf different than the professional game?
Team golf is an interesting concept. Golf is an individual sport, so when you toss in the team element, your mindset changes whether you want it to or not. You have to remember that each decision that you make on the course not only reflects you at the end of the day, but it reflects your team. You also have the opportunity to "drop" a high score in a team event, and still help the team the other two rounds, while in any other individual event you obviously cannot do that. The most important difference that I have experienced is that while on a team you have camaraderie, you do everything together, and you are constantly growing together. Once you make the transition to professional golf, no matter how many friends you have out here, you are still on your own. There is a lot more alone time and you have to mature quickly.
Q: What are some of the things you learned during your collegiate career that you think have helped you as a professional?
I was blessed to have such a good coach at UVA, Bowen Sargent. He instilled in all of us the necessity to manage our games appropriately. This means a lot of things. It encompassed improving our course management skills, our practice efficiency, and strengthening our mentality. Coach Sargent obviously cared a lot about how we did in our collegiate careers, but he wanted us to be prepared for the next level as well, and he made sure to do so.
Q: How do you think your game has changed in your time as a touring professional compared to collegiate and junior golf?
It's a simple, but complicated answer, my game has matured, but still has a long ways to go. We truly don't mature like we should until we are 24 or 25 years old, so it's nearly impossible for us to fully grasp what we should at a younger age. It is the exact same in golf. There are so many things that I was taught at a younger age, that I never truly grasped until I turned pro and began playing for my "living". Specifically, my short game has improved tenfold. It is the most important aspect of the game, period; the amount of time that I spend focusing on that continues to grow.
Q: Do you have a strict practice routine before a tournament round or do work on different things depending on the situation?
Most of the time I have a routine. There are certainly circumstances where I have to spend more time doing one thing over another, or I have to change up my schedule based on travel, etc. At this level you are traveling from tournament to Monday qualifier to tournament to Monday qualifier, and so on, and we cannot necessarily settle into a comfortable schedule. It's going to be great once I make it to the next level and the ultimate NEXT level, to be able to have a set schedule and knowing exactly where I will be every single day.
Q: When playing a new course for the first time, what are the things you look for when evaluating the holes?
The best answer is that I study the greens, and find out as many things about them as I can. The next thing I want to know about a hole is what club to use off the tee, and what type of shot is needed to set myself up from the tee. Does this hole set up for me, or is it a little weird to my eye? Can I freely attack it with my favorite shot, or do I need to take a step back and make sure that I select the right shot first? I also enjoy either visualizing, or actually walking the course backwards in order to see things I may not notice when playing it normally.
Q: What do you like to do in your downtime off of the golf course?
Relax, recover, and prepare. There are plenty of things that go into that, but that's as simple as I can put it.
Q: What advice would you give to college golfers looking to make the transition to professional golf?
Don't worry about how far you hit it, how perfectly you hit it, or what your swing looks like. Learn to get it up and down, hit your wedges close, and make as many putts as possible. The rest will take care of itself.


WASHINGTON, D.C., Oct. 23, 2018 – Recognizing the need for long-term local assistance for those who have experienced a natural disaster or act of mass violence, New York Life and the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities today announced the selection of Jewish Community Services of South Florida (JCS) as one of 16 nonprofit, community-based organizations to receive grants to continue their work in communities affected by disasters in 2017 and early 2018. These grants are part of a new program, Building Resilience in the Face of Disaster, jointly operated by New York Life and the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities that seeks to provide long-term emotional and mental health services and support for communities that have faced large-scale tragic events.
JCS will provide children ages 0-8 with trauma focused counseling, as a result of Hurricane Irma and the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Services will be offered in the community and provided by a license mental health counselor with expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, and infant mental health. In addition, JCS will provide trauma-informed care trainings and outreach efforts to inform residents of disaster preparedness/ response resources within the community of focus.
Each grantee will receive up to $50,000 as part of the $750,000 available through the program. Recipients were selected based on their level of experience and knowledge in trauma-informed care and/or grief support services; level of experience in providing support to individuals who have experienced tragedy; and plans to measure success, effectiveness, and impact. More than 90 organizations applied to the program.
Jewish Community Services' mission is to improve the quality of life and self-sufficiency of the Jewish and broader communities throughout South Florida in accordance with Jewish values. Since 1920, Jewish Community Services of South Florida has remained true to its original mission of providing exemplary human services through compassionate and comprehensive programs that promote health and productivity.

"Government, Burke said, exists to deal with wants. Modern government, however, exists in part to generate wants, to stimulate appetites for public goods and services that the political class will be rewarded for providing. So government must promote economic growth that will throw off sufficient revenues to pay for an even richer menu of benefits." - George Will

It's so cold out tonight (2 degrees below zero as of showtime) that you can actually conduct one of my favorite science experiments: Take a bubble wand outside and blow some bubbles. They'll freeze before they reach the ground, causing them to shatter like glass. It's a perfectly innocent way to burn out that destructive streak so many of us like to keep buried below the surface.
Tonight we explored another updated version of the Future Scale. Now that it's 2010, we're just a little bit closer to a few big predictions -- like China's completion of 42 high-speed rail lines (2012) or the UK's installation of a 250-mph rail link between London and the western part of the country (2025). Will that help us get high-speed rail here in the United States? Maybe. But we can hope that it'll only happen through private investment. Our population here in the US is so much more spread out than in most other wealthy countries that it's really hard to get enough population density to make high-speed rail service a reality. But if other countries make enough progress with the technology to lower the investment costs for us, it might happen sooner than if we had to rely on our own innovations.
The idea of rail service probably gets to a deeper issue within our national psyche: Driving feels like a representation of freedom, and air travel feels like the pinnacle of speed. But as air travel becomes slower (thanks to longer security lines) and more unpleasant (thanks to the problem of "security theater"), maybe something like high-speed rail could work. A 250-mph train could get you from Des Moines to Denver in about 4 hours; that could turn a Broncos game into a day trip, which is a far cry from the Archway Monument in Kearney, Nebraska, which also happens to be home of The Buckle).
This, of course, begs another question: Where would you put the trains? Would you have to elevate the railways? Japan's Shinkansen bullet train service seems to serve much of that densely-populated country without much in the way of elevated rail, but it might be exceedingly difficult to negotiate enough right-of-way to establish a modern high-speed rail service in the US without going right down the medians of most Interstate highways.
Yet very little should seem impossible when we're living in an era when commercial space travel is supposed to start next year. And just as we're learning more about space, we're discovering what's within ourselves at an astonishing rate, too. The genomes for many cancers should be documented within 5 years. Could that research make cancer like HIV/AIDS -- a chronic, but manageable, condition, at least for those who can afford the drugs? It's an amazing possibility.
And a "Yay Capitalism" cheer for the extraordinary rise of the text message, which has gone from virtual non-existence at the turn of the millennium to ubiquity today: We're now sending an average of 440 text messages per American per month, and there's no sign it's going to slow down.

Golborne to be Wild
Posted in Railways on Saturday 7th April 2012 at 10:04pm
It was good to get back out on regular trains today. Whilst the last couple of weekends have seen some very interesting track covered, and given me the chance to escape for awhile, there is something about watching the world go by and being out among folks which I miss sometimes on these trips. With a longer distance foray planned for next weekend in conjunction with a Fence event, today was booked as a bit of an interlude - and in a bit of a panic to get tickets too. The Easter weekend can be a strange time to travel - though, experience dictates that the Saturday is often very quiet in comparison to other days. But the only sign that today was any different was the late opening of a number of the concessions at Bristol. Having arrived on the early train as ever, getting food was impossible and coffee was a challenge. Given that the next train was going to be a three-hour journey this was a concern. Finally got coffee and settled into the set which would form the 07:00.
The run north was uneventful and pretty quiet, with by turns misty, cloudy and then strangely sunny bouts of weather on route. There were perhaps a few extra passengers on board this morning, but they bailed at Birmingham with few getting on, and we set off for Manchester in a little burst of sunshine which lasted most of the way there. I'd got no real goals today except picking up a copy of the 2012 Combined Volume from the Ian Allan shop. This has become a bit of a tradition, and despite not really being able to spare the cash just now it was one I felt I should adhere to. Central Manchester wasn't too busy at 10am, so I wandered up Oldham Street and into the 'Northern Quarter' which led me to Victoria. I'd read - and indeed half thought about trying for the diverted services in Lancashire today, but having got here and found a service to Wigan leaving in a short while I decided it was worth a punt. Grabbed a quick bite of lunch and booked a ticket, before heading onto the 11:07. There was much confusion, with the train not appearing on the screens until very late on - but finally we left with only a few on board the leading 156, and a 142 behind which probably got a few more punters by virtue of being right by the entrance to the platforms. The limited stop meant reaching Wallgate fairly quickly, and I made quick change over the street to North Western. Much refurbished since my last visit, the station looked a lot better at concourse level - despite having a weird arrangement where one needs to display a rail ticket to a small camera to access the toilets! At platform level, there's quite a bit of work going on - in part to extend the platforms for 11 car Pendolinos, which are effectively coming into service right now - although 390156 eluded me all day today!
Over to platform 6 for the Liverpool train, with quite a few uncertain looking shoppers lurking around it. Once off, we crossed over the entire WCML and made bouncily brisk progress past Bamfurlong to Golborne Junction and the original course of the Main Line. Stopped by a red right at the signal which sits on the broken but defiantly extant Lowton Station platform, and again on the Parkside West curve, we took the booked half hour or so to finally make Huyton - the first stop, and where I planned to change platforms. Surprised to find a rather pretty little station with a subway and substantial booking office here, as I crossed to the other platform with just a few minutes to spare.
The train back was less hampered by signal checks and made surprisingly quick progress which meant it was still sitting awaiting departure for Blackpool North by the time I'd crossed back to Wallgate and then passed by on route back to Victoria! This was a sleepy, busy bit of the day and I only really regained conciousness as we arrived in the suburbs of the city. Stumbled blearily over to the concourse and decided to catch a tram back to Piccadilly for the coffee I'd been craving all day. Spend a lazy hour or so writing, people-watching and drinking coffee before a little shopping and then heading over to the arriving stock which would form 1V65. Noted that the schedule had changed somewhat for this, calling at a higher numbered platform at New Street and reversing rather than using the Camp Hill line. Sad to see this, as it has been a reliable and often rather quiet train and I wondered if this change might affect its performance? In the event this train was also pretty quiet from Manchester and I had a lazy trip south after eating a bit too much for my improvised tea! Settled down around Birmingham and had the usual pleasant run back, with the customary switch to the HST home.
I hadn't planned on seeking out PSUL track today, and indeed it wasn't new to me - but it was interesting to do some lines unusual lines for a service train. It was also good to start a week or so off work with a bit of a spin out to familiar parts. I picked my way home a little sleepily, contemplating longer journeys ahead...
The Coal Grinder
Posted in Railways on Saturday 24th March 2012 at 10:36pm
After a bit of an absence, it's back to the railtours with a vengeance these next couple of weeks. With a BLS trip to Immingham next weekend, and Pathfinder's long-awaited redate of their 'Coal Grinder' trip today, it's going to be a bit of a festival of red lines in the atlas. Given that it's been something of a low-mileage year to date too, and because Premier Inn had offered a free night I had to take soon, I'd also elected to head up to Crewe yesterday to do this tour from the start. As I stomped down to the station at 04:30 I doubted the logic of this. I could have been getting on three hours later at Bristol Parkway and have had at least an extra hour or so in bed, but instead I was wandering bleary-eyed around a very misty station with a bunch of very odd people indeed. Pleased to see a couple of familiar faces before long, and I was soon settled into the seat I'd hardly leave all day as we sped into the fog.
After an early breakfast to avoid the queues and picking up the rest of our as ever, lively party we continued towards Bristol and the Severn Tunnel. I realised that this was my first Class 37 haulage of the year - a rather unusual situation in itself, but also that I was travelling behind a member of the dwindling class I'd not had before. With a new 66 on the back too and some pretty big track on offer this promised to be a good day out. As the fog burned away the sun rode high above south wales. Enjoyed some new ales and chatted sleepily as I tried to maintain consciousness for the interesting bits - never easy on a warm, beery day. Eventually we curved off the mainline and headed for Tondu. The length of our train meant that the planned reversal in Llynfi loops was out, and we used Garw instead. I'd been here once before on a previous Pathfinder job. Making sure we headed right to the end, we continued this year's tradition of trying to do as much as possible on these trips - a welcome change from the era of 'paperwork issues' and lost track. Reversing we used the Ogmore Vale Extension to head past Parc Slip and Margam Yard, before a last fast run along the mainline via Cockett into Llanelli. Here things got interesting, with a reversal onto the Genwen Loop near Trostre Steelworks, then a brief chug along the bottom of the Central Wales line before heading away and climbing towards Gwaun-cae-Gurwen. This route, for which we'd received a special dispensation to travel, has only recently come back into freight operation and we were clearly a novelty with many folks coming out to see the train. Noted special notices fixed onto crossings announcing our presence today too, such is the rarity of trains passing. Finally at the top, near the opencast workings, we pushed as far as we could before coming to a rest. Mission accomplished at last, many months after originally planned!
37606 and 37603 prepare to lead the tour south from Crewe
After heading back down the branch we took the rather unusual curve onto the district line at Hendy Junction, then turned south at Jersey Marine and took a long slow trip along the line to Burrows Sidings. Now a site reserved for crippled wagons, we pushed as far as we could to the boundary of ABP property before reversing once again and taking the line between the chords from the district line. At Neath and Brecon Junction this divided again - one branch tantalisingly heading for Onylwyn while we took the eastern fork and climbed, rather gingerly towards Resolven. At a crossing we came to a halt, and the pair of 37s didn't quite get us moving. The tail loco was swiftly powered up and gave a mighty shunt which got the heavy train moving again. We finally made it to the top of the line, bathed in beautiful sunshine and again drawing the attention of crowds of locals, including one rather gruff looking woman in her dressing gown who leant on her wall and surveyed us with disdain until we left her in peace. Back down to Jersey Marine to reverse again and take the third arm of the junction and regain the district line. Only a little late now due to some very odd timings, we sped up and headed east along the mainline. Through the centre roads at Cardiff Central, and then onto the relief lines in order to take the Bishton Flyover, there was no stopping us, and we arrived at Bristol Parkway a little early, and in plenty of time for my connection.
As I used the familiar trains home, I had chance to ponder the day - an early start, a long day and no photo stops or off-train breaks at all. Some were grumbling about it online, others just excited to have done the very rare track as advertised and planned. These are just the sort of tours I find myself enjoying more and more as time goes on - and combining these with more regular trips keeps me moving and exploring. That can't be a bad thing.
The Limehouse Cut
More than ever, the last week had been a challenging and long one with little opportunity to look ahead to today's trip. Thus, I had a long day in London with nothing planning. I decided to delight in this, and spent the trip up happily listening to music and watching the world go by. It was almost light on leaving Weston for the first time in months, and despite the weather being less than fantastic, it was good to see a glimmer of silvery sky rather than the pitch black which has characterised this journey over the winter. Having had a few leisurely arrivals in London over the past several weeks, I'd almost found myself in something of a routine. Breakfast, then a bus east being the usual start. Didn't stray far from that today, feeling that I was in fact relaxing for the first time in days. Having received the really curious and interesting "Stone Tape Shuffle" recordings by Iain Sinclair earlier in the week, my mind had wandered to some of the poems and images - not least those first, odd words about Hawksmoor churches which had resonated so much. So, taking a slow and much diverted No.23 into the City, I dived off at Bank and found coffee in the shop adjoining St.Mary Woolnoth. I don't think I'd been here before, with it usually closed at weekends in the past - unless perhaps I'd drifted in one Lord Mayor's Day when the city was a little more open. Moving on, and not feeling great pressure to do so swiftly, I made my way to Fenchurch Street and then out to Limehouse. The weather had turned wet now, and as I descended from the viaduct and turned east onto the A13, I was getting soaked. A quick detour down to the canal before finding my way to St.Anne's Church once again.
It had been years since I was last here, and not much had changed. The white ashlar was a little more discoloured, some of the benches gone from the windy curve of the churchyard, but otherwise all was as it had been before. Braver than my first visit, I picked my way over to the pyramid - glimpsed for the first time in a long time on the sleeve of the LP - and touched it. A damp, mossy feeling, surprisingly not cold and rather ordinary. I fantasised that if this really did wield any power, how I might use it. Sadly, but perhaps predictably, work issues sprang directly to mind! After a little wait in the hope the rain would stop, I headed for the main road. It was time to haunt the buses again, a favourite hobby of late. Unplanned, I headed onto a D3 going to Bethnal Green and the Chest Hospital - which was to rather coincidentally feature in the rather shocking on-pitch collapse of soccer player Fabrice Muamba later too. This took me around the sweep of Wapping, near the stair which took me down to the Thames on a sunnier occasion. Then, crossing Whitechapel Road near the Royal London Hospital, we progressed into the fuss and confusion of Bethnal Green. I bailed out here, near the station and found my way to the stop for the 106. Having done a quick look up, I noted this would take me deep into Hackney, completing the Sinclair-connection, before curving north into Stoke Newington, past Abney Park and to Finsbury Park station. I settled in for the journey, watching the wet day drying somewhat as we stop-started our way along Mare Street, then into Clapton before picking up a little speed. At Finsbury Park I headed directly up onto the platforms in time to get a non-stop train into Kings Cross. I noted that the new concourse was due to open on Monday, but that there still seemed to be an awful lot to put right before it could!
The curious pyramid in the churchyard of St.Anne's
On leaving the station here I was a bit at a loss, so I leapt onto virtually the first bus I saw. This took me south, along the Fleet Valley and over Blackfriars Bridge. Instead of getting off here as I had a week or two back, I plunged into the uncharted south-of-the-river environs. Except that they weren't at all! Familiar from a work visit, Elephant and Castle gave way to Camberwell and then to the parts of Lambeth I'd wandered eight years ago looking for the shade of William Kent. Then into Brixton, familiar from the viaduct looking down, the streets seemed tighter and more cluttered down below. The bus had been busy for the last mile or two and I welcomed the chance to stretch my legs in the now rather pleasant afternoon warmth while pausing for a train into Victoria. Here I could have quit and loafed around the station until heading home. I'd heard there was an NHS protest on Whitehall despite a media blackout, and I didn't have the stomach to get entangled - so instead, on a whim having seen a 436 bus and recalled it's route, I decided to grab the next fast train to Lewisham. This meant a pleasant run out over the viaducts in the sun, then a dash around the roadworks near the station looking for a bus stop, watching a couple of obliviously loved-up youngsters trespassing alongside the Quaggy River. Finally found a 436, headed for the top deck, and had a long and pleasant run - passing not far from where a bus had caught fire earlier - through Peckham and back into Camberwell before circling the Oval and heading up Park Lane back to Paddington. It had been an unexpectedly busy and varied day and I was ready for a relaxing run home.
But I wasn't to get one. After an on-time start from Paddington, 1C27 ground to a halt at Swindon with brake issues. Eventually it was announced as cancelled, and I contemplated a wait for the 21:00 and a change onto a now inevitably busy unit from Bristol home. In the event, I decided to get the 20:30 and to wait at the comparatively interesting Temple Meads instead. As it goes, I'm glad I did - as Control had authorised this to run as an unadvertised additional to Taunton, almost unheard of these days! They'd tried to call Train Manager several times to convey the message, but didn't get him until moments before arrival at Bristol. Having swapped back to the original crew of 1C27, we were due to leave at 21:30, but in the event left around nine early and had a pleasantly quick run home, regaining about 30 minutes of time I'd have lost. Good to see some forward thinking and ingenuity from First Great Western on this.
So the last of my aimless weeks for a while proved to be fully of oddities, coincidences and unexpected incidents. It will almost be a relief to return to the unpredictable world of railtours!
Eastern Counties
After a flurry of activity at the start of the year, things have gone a bit quiet lately. In this lull which leads up to a busy period around Easter, I've taken to making trips which don't really gain much in the way of new ground but go back to the roots of my travelling - getting to places I've never visited and collecting impressions of the country I live in. Now, I've clearly managed to visit lots of places over the years, but in many cases I've not wandered far beyond the immediate limits of the station. As my track-bashing obsession has increased, this has particularly been the case and in recent years unless I've been staying somewhere for the start of a tour I've seen little of the towns I visit. As I tried to book tickets for these weekends I realised I'd never visited Leicester. In fairness I'd never needed to, but it felt like an omission I should correct.
The other plan for these trips is to aim for some pleasantly long, relaxing rail journeys to contrast with the fragmented, frustrating weeks I'm dealing with at the office. So, after a quick hop to Weston I found myself on the familiar 06:24 to Paddington. With a fair amount of time at the other end to cross to St.Pancras, I felt relaxed and free of pressure as we sped through a misty morning. I'd slept really badly the night before, and knowing I'd be up early for a Rally in Wales tomorrow, knew I'd have fairly little hope of a decent sleep tonight either, so I stretched out and relaxed. On getting to London, I made a slow progress via coffee and buses to St.Pancras, lingering in a favourite spot before heading for the train. Quite without meaning too I'd booked on one of the now seemingly fewer East Midlands HST services, and it was good to have a spin in First Class on these trains from a company I rarely get to use. The run up the Midland Mainline went remarkably quickly, and with a little weak sun shining through the mist it was a fine journey. I arrived in Leicester to find that the station refurbishment I'd read about was in full swing. The fine brick entrance was mostly cordoned off with the stairs leading up to it removed - I'm sure that's a recent change but couldn't quite remember. Access was via the modern footbridge which connected into the tiled arrivals and departures hall, which despite being adorned with modern ticket gates and information screens, had a busy 'proper station' feel about it.
After negotiating the diversions through the boarded walkways out of the station I got my first glimpse of Leicester in the outside of the station building. I'd seen this from trains passing under the road bridge, and it remained an impressive, low brick sweep. Turning towards town, I noted a very new Premier Inn which might conceivably be useful in the future. This area had obviously seen a fair deal of regeneration, and had a clean busy feel. Crossing and wandering into Granby Street the limits of the scheme were soon reached. This slightly shabby but appealingly open street runs directly into the city, and is home to some fairly impressive victorian buildings. As ever, eyes raised above the (often abandoned) shop fronts are rewarded with little towers, detailed brickwork and remarkably complicated designs which would never grace a utilitarian commercial building nowadays. Finally, after a detour into the market and a small record shop still struggling on, I found the city centre. A sprawling pedestrianised zone with a couple of modern shopping developments. People ploughed relentlessly along this retail river, from one centre to the other. They didn't look where they were going, and despite the not inconsiderably obstacle I presented, didn't seem to see me.
Dipping into a side street to regain my route home, I found myself passing groups of young but decrepit looking drunks. I'm not sure why they'd congregated here, but they lolled weirdly in a little seated area not feet from a busy street where prosperous folk bustled by. Hurrying on, I regained the route to the station passing a band of orange-robed Hare Krisna folk singing and drumming loudly. Leicester is a strange place - a mix of old and new, rich and poor - but with very little middle ground it seems.
My route home, in slightly improved but rather chilly weather involved a detour to a very windy Derby station, then a dwell at Birmingham where I enjoyed coffee and a bit of ethnography, as I watched one of the strange gatherings of emo kids which seem to descend on railway stations on Saturday afternoons. In comparison to Glasgow Central or Manchester Victoria, this was a small and rather less committed bunch - but the hugging and preening was still evident, and the collection of fringe misfits who gravitated around them seemed to be genuinely decent kids. Amused, and somewhat pleased to see this strangely British subculture, I headed for my sleepy train home. Sometimes I feel like David Attenborough out here on the railway.

BuffsColorado BuffaloesFootballMen's Division ISports
Wide receivers eager to forge new identity, bolster Buffs offense
by Justin Guerriero August 31, 2018
Junior receiver Jay MacIntyre fights for yardage during the second quarter of play at Sun Devil Stadium. Nov. 4, 2017 (Nigel Amstock/CU Independent)
The Colorado Buffaloes kick off the 2018 football season tonight against intrastate rivals, the Colorado State Rams, in Denver at Broncos Stadium at Mile High. While familiar faces such as junior quarterback Steven Montez and senior linebacker Rick Gamboa will be present on the field for Colorado, the Buffaloes will soon showcase some new talent that is excited to make a difference on the field.
Namely, members of CU's wide receiving corps are chomping at the bit to prove themselves on the field. Senior wideout Jay MacIntyre, a captain on the team this season, is the most tenured member of the collective group.
Last season, he recorded 28 catches for 396 yards. Of players with more than 20 receptions in 2018, MacIntyre had the second-highest yard-per-catch average, at 14.1.
To say that MacIntyre, and for that matter the rest of the receivers on the depth chart, played in the shadow of former Buffs Shay Fields Jr., Devin Ross and Bryce Bobo would be fair.
But now, the latter three are gone. The story at wide receiver this season will revolve around MacIntyre and his fellow wideouts, who are confident but lacking in reps on the gridiron as a unit.
"We feel like we are pretty talented but we know that [together] we haven't played many games," redshirt senior wide receiver Kabion Ento said.
Ento's admission is honest and correct. Colorado's wide receivers must rise to the occasion every week. Trial by fire, one game at a time, will serve as the only road that will lead to success.
In terms of receiver-quarterback rapport, the signs are looking good. Largely due to a collective offseason effort by Montez and his new receivers to learn to work well together, the Buffs may have a few sleeping giants at the wideout position.
"Their [relationship] is good," first-year quarterbacks coach Kurt Roper said. "What they did all offseason creates that connection that you need. When the quarterback knows exactly where the receiver is going to be and that receiver trusts where the ball is going to be, it's endless. Those reps all summer long are huge."
As a graduate assistant at Tennessee from 1996-98, Roper oversaw Peyton Manning's development as a quarterback and later, while the quarterbacks coach at Ole Miss from 1999-2004, did the same for Eli Manning.
For Roper, that offseason effort yields massive dividends.
"I was a young coach at the time and watched Peyton [Manning] develop that [relationship] with guys like Joey Kent, Marcus Nash and Peerless Price," he said. "It does wonders for your passing game."
Overall, the wide receiver's names will be different on the field this year, as will their collective size. For the past few seasons, the Buffs routinely featured quick-stepping, medium-sized wideouts. Fields Jr. and Ross were both under 6-foot. MacIntyre fots that mold at 5-foot-10.
But this season, the Buffs will have a major boost in height at the position. Ento and senior JuWann Winfree stand at 6-foot-3, while sophomore Laviska Shenault Jr. is 6-foot-2.
"We've got some bigger receivers this year for sure and I think that'll help us out," Montez said. "We've got some guys that can jump and go get the ball out of the air. That'll help us out on one-on-one situations."
One thing that the Buffaloes' wide receivers excelled at last season was pass blocking. Former Buff and current Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay's career at CU speaks very much for itself, but the aid he received on the far ends of the line of scrimmage always seemed to be overlooked.
MacIntyre in particular proved adept last year at pinning down defensive backs during blocking assignments. He hopes to pass along the merits of getting better in that regard.
"You never know when the ball is going to come your way and when it doesn't, you have to block; you've got to be able to do that as well to be on the field," MacIntyre said. "If you don't do it you won't be on the field. [Co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers] coach [Darrin] Chiaverini really puts a big emphasis on blocking and in my position, a lot of times I have to deal with different roles. I do it to the best of my ability because that's all I can do when I'm out there."
More than one person on the inside seems to have the same confidence in the receivers' ability to get the dirty work done correctly.
"They have been very, very physical in camp," Chiaverini said. "They [did] a good job in the run game and perimeter run stuff and [also] a good job blocking for the other wideouts. They've done a really good job in camp with being physical."
Colorado, in particular its wide receiving core, should by all indications be more than ready to hit the field and make an impact versus the Rams. Only time will tell, but with a rapport with Montez looking solid, the Buffs' pass-catchers could be poised to become a nasty unified headache for opposing defenses.

She Who Possesses the Fullness of Gifts
Homily on the commemoration of the Vladimir icon of the Mother of God
Hieromonk Nikon (Parimanchuk)
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit!
I greet you with the "day of joy and gladness"—the commemoration of the Vladimir icon of our glorious Sovereign Lady and Most Blessed Theotokos!
All the days of this past week have been under the great festal protection of Pentecost. In the church we sang, "We celebrate Pentecost, and the coming of the Holy Spirit, the offering of the promise and the hope of its fulfillment." Of course, the Holy Spirit inseparably abides in Christ's Church from the day of Pentecost. But the days of this feast give us the opportunity to be renewed in soul and to experience this great event.
During these days we remember the great abundance and variation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit—the "Source of all good things," promised by Christ the Savior to His disciples and visibly and actively received at the first gathering of Christ's Church on the fiftieth day of Holy Pascha. From the apostles and through their labors God's grace is now given to every Christian who lives in the Church and draws strength from it for a grace-filled life.
The apostle wrote of these gifts that they are in all goodness and righteousness and truth (Eph. 5:9), love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (Gal. 5:22–23).
A great multitude of Christians have received these gifts and preserved them, attaining sanctity.
But of all those born on earth, the Mother of God whom we reverently call the Heavenly Queen, possesses the fullness of these holy gifts, and we sing that she is "more honorable than the Cherubim and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim." The Lord gave her the great mercy to stretch out her most pure hands in prayer for us to Him, He gave her the particular mercy of hearing her requests for us sinners—for every Christian separately, and for families, and all places, cities and whole nations.
A multitude of testimonies to her help have been preserved to our present day.
And I say present day because all the events of her miraculous help and intercessions are not just a matter of the historical past; they are with us today, they live with us, strengthen us, and gladden us just as they did our ancestors in the faith in olden times. And her help, living and effective, is always with us.
In the history of our fatherland from ancient days there have been many battles—great and victorious—in which the historical fate of Russia was decided. These victories were won by the blood of a great multitude of warriors, by the might of sophisticated weaponry, and by the wisdom of military commanders, among whom were also Orthodox saints.
But in the Church calendar the memory is preserved of those victories that were won not by ordinary human means, but in spite of human means—through the might of God.
One Russian historian noted that "the regularity of historical phenomena is inversely proportional to their spirituality"; that is, the profundity of meaning of historical events, and even the events in the life of every person, is not subject to human explanation. These events are not subject to human will, no matter how violent and destructive it might be. Time passes, and the false constructs of human force disappear without a trace like mirages in the desert. Thus do miracles enter the life of whole nations and individuals, like the manifestation of the higher Truth, higher justice, mercy, and longsuffering of God. They enter at the prayers of the Theotokos, whom we hymn as the "beginning of Christ's miracles".
And the first miracle of the Lord is the call for us to mercy first of all for ourselves—a call to repentance. Just as He did at the dawn of Christianity, He meekly turns to each of us and says, "Why art thou persecuting Me?" And we only have to meekly ask, just as the holy apostle Paul, "Who art Thou, Lord?" Then receive the answer, "It is hard for thee to go against Me. My strength is made perfect in weakness."
"My strength is made perfect in weakness." This great law of spiritual life, and these words relate not to physical weakness but to the weakness of human stubbornness, self-assurance, self-reliance, and pride. And although at first it seems that this human strength can move mountains, change the course of rivers, and enslave peoples, at its foundation lies the rejection of all divine help. But God resists the proud and only gives grace to the humble.
And when there is nothing left of human means, man humbly falls on his knees before the Lord and cries out for help.
That is how it was in 1521 in Rus'. Gone were the days of Tamerlane, and the meeting at the Ugra River; gone was the age of humiliation before stronger neighbors, the age of standing on its knees, degraded. Moscow was no longer a small princedom that anyone could invade with impunity. The Moscow prince had already risen in status and was even recognized in Europe as a "Caesar"—that is, equal to his colleagues in other nations. Although unstable, peace along its borders had been strengthened by hope in a treaty with the Holy Roman Empire, Lithuania, and the Kazan Khanate. They were already thinking about pronouncing the words that are now so well known to us: "Moscow the Third Rome"—words that expressed the newly-born nation's right as heirs to the glory, might, and Christian piety of the Byzantine Empire.
But then along came an unexpected catastrophe.
Through the maneuvers of the Polish crown, the Crimean Khanate rose up in union with the Kazan Khanate against Rus'. The Russian forces were shattered at the Oka River. The enemy had reached the gates of Moscow. Grand Prince Vasily in Volokolamsk was gathering forces, and in the defenseless city of Moscow Metropolitan Varlaam and the citizens were praying fervently for deliverance from danger.
And what was the answer to their prayer?
It was revealed to a physically blind but spiritually seeing nun from one of the monasteries in the Kremlin how the holy hierarchs of Moscow, who had labored much in that city, were departing through the Spassky gates of the Kremlin. They took with them the Vladimir icon of the Mother of God—the symbol of the Most Holy Theotokos's prayerful protection.
Why did they receive such an answer to their prayers?
Because a society's spiritual and moral idea of itself does not always correspond to reality. Because the commandment to preserve piety as did the Equal-to-the-Apostles Emperor Constantine, whose memory the Church also celebrates today, and Grand Prince Vladimir had turned into a fervency that was not so much Christian as it was political, and its grand scope was leaning toward earthly acquisitiveness.
Thus, every time we sin, the walls of our bodily city are abandoned by God's grace.
But in that terrible year, the Russian land nevertheless was not forgotten.
At the gates of this lamentable procession, the great intercessors for Holy Rus' were met by St. Sergius of Radonezh and Varlaam of Hutyn, who tearfully begged the Mother of God not to abandon Moscow. After this prayer of supplication for the deliverance of Moscow from its enemies, the holy hierarchs returned to the Kremlin, bringing the Vladimir icon back with them.
Moscow was saved—Mehmet-Girei fled.
Thus did the testimony of human helplessness become a testimony of God's mercy and might.
Such is the prayerful help of the Mother of God.
How did she acquire this grace?
We know only a little about the earthly life of the Most Pure Virgin. The Gospels say little about the Mother of our Lord. The information in it as if embraces the whole story of the earthly life of her divine Son. But there is one testimony of the Theotokos, amazing and out of the ordinary, about which the apostle Matthew writes and which should not slip by us unnoticed.
One day when the Lord spoke with the people, someone said to Him: Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with Thee (Matt. 12:47)
What did the Son of Man say in reply? Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother (Matt. 12:49–50).
How should we understand this?
St. John Chrysostom says the following: Without virtues, all is futile. Age, sex, desert-dwelling, and everything else is futile when there is no good inclination, no humility and faithfulness to God's commandments. "And know moreover," continues the great teacher of the Church, "that without virtue there can be no benefit even from carrying Christ in one's womb and giving birth to that wondrous Flesh." The Mother of Christ our Savior first fulfilled all that she was obligated to do, showing complete obedience, saying, "Be it unto me according to Thy will."
And she was not somewhere outside, but ever with her Son—by the Cross, and even now, bearing Him in her arms.
St. John Chrysostom's explanation is an example for us. May the Mother of God be ever your helper, your good Way-Shower throughout your life's paths, so that we might be renewed in life not outwardly and by appealing changes in status, but by the eternal newness of the Holy Spirit, Life-creating and renewing our heart and spirit.
O Holy Spirit, which comes from God, give us all who believe in Thee sanctity, through the prayers of our Intercessor, the Most Blessed Theotokos.

"The Mother of God answers repentant tears."
Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov) "The Mother of God answers repentant tears."
The Meeting of the Vladimir Icon
Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov)
That is how Moscow was saved by a miracle of God; the house of the Mother of God—Russia—was saved. If Tamerlane had destroyed Moscow then as he had destroyed the Indian and Persian cities, who knows what would have happened to Russia. The Heavenly Intercessor The Heavenly Intercessor
It was morning, but the inhabitants of Moscow were already on their feet and heading for the Kuchkovo field, where now stands the Sretensky Monastery. What happened then? Why had the people forgotten everything, disturbed to the depth of their souls, and come to such a movement? In Russia there is a saying: "Whoever has not been to sea or in a storm has never prayed to God." Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God
The histories of Moscow and of the icon of Vladimir Mother of God are eternally inseparable. How many times did the Mother of God save the capital city from enemies through the grace of her holy icon? This icon has linked Apostolic times to Byzantium, Kievan Rus' to Vladimir Rus', and later to Muscovy, the Third Rome; as it is said, "there will be no Fourth." The kingdom of Moscow was formed by divine providence and embraced the mystical ties of ancient empires, historical experience and traditions of other Orthodox peoples. The miracle working Vladimir icon became a symbol of unity and succession.

This was a very good article. As Ayie Morphou often says, the political/economic problems facing a nation are simply the result of a deeper underlying spiritual problem. God's laws have not changed over the centuries. Back in the day when the Israeli's were the chosen race, every time they apostatized, their enemies rose up and defeated them. Same with Orthodox as we saw in Russia in the 20th century and their subjugation to the western sponsored soviets. We Ellines in Kypros, are still experiencing this. As Ayios Paisios said the continued occupation of our land by englezous and tourkous is spiritual. We enslaved ourselves to passions and so are under military occupation!!!

With Prime Minister Tony Abbott acknowledging that he can't guarantee that university fees might not double, University Australia chair Sandra Harding says that there are "grave risks" in a precipitate move to fee deregulation, set to take place in 2016. As the new fee regime will apply to all enrolments after 14 May 2014, students enrolling after that date will not know the fees that will apply from 1 January 2016 until such time as universities announce their fees. In order to provide some degree of certainty and inform student choice, some universities, outside the Group of Eight, at least, may be forced to make an early "stab" at price settings. But as Harding points out, a stab is not the marketplace working efficiently. A set of stabs, with some getting their settings right and others failing, will help shake out the marketplace, but at what cost to students, their families and to the integrity of the higher education system when it is possible to move ahead in a more considered, timely and respectful manner? Meanwhile University of Sydney vice chancellor Michael Spence, a supporter of uncapped fee deregulation, has added his voice to to the call for a "national conversation" on the proposed reforms to higher education to ensure access to the "elite universities" is on the basis of academic merit alone. And University of Adelaide vice-chancellor Warren Bebbington, another supporter of fee deregulation, has warned the proposals risk amounting to "misregulation" rather than deregulation. In an email to students, Bebbington said the government's plan to impose interest rates on HECS debts by using the 10-year bond rate risked causing a crippling debt problem and was "unduly harsh".
Amid this growing unrest among vice chancellors concerned that the reforms are being rushed and are unfair to students, the government is ramping up consultation with the university sector. A number of working groups have been established to advise education minister Christopher Pyne on how to implement the reforms, including one on "innovative financing options for university infrastructure" to be chaired by former University of South Australia vice chancellor Denise Bradley and Education Investment Fund chairman Phil Clark.
The fog has lifted on the Government's intent on higher education reform but implementation on the ground is a real pea-souper.
Lest the pea soup engulf the orderly development of a new higher education system which the Government expects to be the best in the world, implementation issues must be addressed before it is introduced.
The Government has now committed to an extension of the demand driven system to non-university higher education providers (NUHEPs), at a lower rate than universities in recognition of the additional obligations attaching to universities including public good obligations and research, and to fee deregulation applied to Australian domestic students.
The Commission of Audit and author of the review of the demand driven system report, Andrew Norton have both called for consultation before introducing fee deregulation.
Despite this advice, layered on top of the extension of the demand driven system to NUHEPs comes the big ticket item of fee deregulation including significant cuts in the government contribution to per student funding; with universities set to raise fees to at least cover the shortfall; HELP loans for students with lower income thresholds for repayment and interest rates; and scholarships for disadvantaged students to be paid from higher student fees.
The new system takes effect ostensibly from 1 January 2016, but with a 14 May 2014 'start' date such that students enrolling from last week can be subject to fee hikes from January 2016.
In a business sense for universities, the change takes effect immediately.
This immediate start timeframe means that universities must move quickly to determine their fee position, or leave Australian students who are considering commencing study in mid-2014 in the dark about what they'll be up for come January 2016.
There are grave risks here.
Universities are being asked to set fees in an unprecedented market environment. While we have experience setting fees for postgraduate course work programs and for international students, these fees are set in a fairly mature marketplace, disciplined by past experience and known competitive pressures.
The domestic, undergraduate marketplace of the Government's intent is unprecedented, with old and new players, new financial incentives, new rules for student debt repayment, new scholarship arrangements and more.
So what will universities and NUHEPs do about informing students and their families about their obligations if they are looking at enrolling now – not in 2015 or 2016?
As informed decisions about this are hard to make in the context of an emerging market with few market signals to guide price setting, universities and NUHEPs will either simply tell prospective domestic students who are considering study from mid-2014 that their fees will go up in January 2016, but not indicate the fee level, or they may take a stab at price setting.
Not being able to inform students of the fee implications of their programs is almost certain to give pause to students who might otherwise enter university mid-2014, particularly mature age students whom we know from the UK experience are sensitive to fee changes.
We provide better guidance than this to international students. Indeed, universities typically advise the marketplace of fees to be applied a year ahead and then either commit to a possible annual fee increase within some percentage range or declare a fixed price at enrolment.
This means that entering international students can make an informed decision about their study choice. This is what we would want for domestic undergraduate students and it begs the question why we wouldn't show Australian students the same respect now, with appropriate advance notification of the specifics of prospective price rises.
Those institutions that do wish to give some guidance on fees for current, prospective domestic students, will have to have a stab.
In having a stab, universities may match their domestic student fees with international student fees. After all, the international market has been tested, it is the only undergraduate fee paying market at scale we have access to and we understand our niche there.
If not this, universities will have to come up with their own formulation most likely based on costs and assumptions rather than market dynamics.
Having declared a price point – more likely many price points for various programs or subjects – and given the immaturity of the marketplace for domestic full fee paying students, it is highly likely that forecast prices will be wrong with a market impact that may have to be unraveled. What all this means for the student contract with universities is unclear.
A stab is not the marketplace working efficiently.
A set of stabs, with some getting their settings right and others failing, will help shake out the marketplace, but at what cost to students, their families and to the integrity of the higher education system when it is possible to move ahead in a more considered, timely and respectful manner?
Establishing an efficiently operating marketplace will take time and effort. It will take account of the impact of extension of the demand driven system to NUHEPs and sub-degree places, price signals sent and received, understanding the new HELP and scholarship arrangements, some market testing of price sensitivity with particular student segments.
A reasoned and sensible approach to a developing marketplace just cannot be achieved immediately – which is the implementation task set by Government given the 14 May effective start date. A date at the beginning or mid-2015 is required.
As events in the recent past have shown, undue haste and poor execution poses grave risks to even the soundest policy intent.

However, the previous version of the file was still in the dirctory with a ~previous appended to the filename.
I was thus able to copy the previous version of the file over the new httpd-vhosts.conf file after saving the new version to another location in case I needed to reference it again.
The /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file that is the main configuration file for Apache was also replaced during the operating system (OS) upgrade. The prior version also was preserved with httpd.conf~previous appended to it.
Since the new version was missing the changes I had made previously to have Apache load the virtual hosts file and support Perl and Python scripts, after copying the new version of httpd.conf to a location where I could preserve it if I needed to reference it again, I copied that prior version over top of the httpd.conf file placed on the system during the upgrade and restarted the Apache web server.
But Apache wasn't listening for connections after I attempted to restart it, though I hadn't seen any error message. When I used the configtest option for apachectl, I saw that Apache couldn't load a module for PHP.
So I commented out the line that loaded that PHP module in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf by putting a # at the beginning of the line. I didn't even have to issue an apachectl command again to start it listening on port 80 after I commented out the line.
I replaced the line referring to libphp5.so with the above line, removing the pound sign, i.e., the #, so the module would be loaded and then restarted Apache with sudo apachectl restart. The PHP code then was executed on PHP pages.

Q: Visual Studio Code 'experimentalDecorators' Issue for Angular Build I am having an issue with VSC where all my typescript classes are triggering the intellisense and coming up with this warning:

"[ts] Experimental support for is a feature that is subject to change
  in a future build. Set the 'experimentalDecorators' option to remove
  this warning."

This is a documented issue, with various fixes documented in these posts:

*

*https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/9335

*Experimental decorators warning in Visual Studio Code
However I am using a now more recent version of VSC (it was actually me updating it today that seems to have triggered something), and with that none of the solutions mentioned here seem to work.
I have:

*

*Added the "typescript.tsdk": "../node_modules/typescript/lib" option to my .vscode settings

*Removed various lines in the tsconfig.json file in the root of the app including lib, baseUrl and others, fully reopening VSC inbetween tries

*Tried alternate Typescript versions in my package.json

*Restarted my computer on the off chance

Here's my current tsconfig.json
{
  "compileOnSave": false,
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "./dist/out-tsc",
    "baseUrl": "src",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "declaration": false,
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "target": "es5",
    "typeRoots": [
      "node_modules/@types"
    ],
    "lib": [
      "es2016",
      "dom"
    ]
  }
}

I am using VSC version 2.3.2 and my TS version in my package.json is set to "typescript": "~2.2.0".
Is there something here I'm missing?

A: this is what what worked for me:
tsconfig.js (relevant part):
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    ...
    "declaration": false,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "outDir": "dist",
    ...
  },
  "include": [
    "src/index.ts"
  ]
}

Here is the full file:
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "declaration": false,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "strictNullChecks": true,
    "allowJs": true,
    "lib": [
      "es6"
    ],
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "outDir": "dist",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "target": "es6"
  },
  "include": [
    "src/db/**/*.ts",
    "src/index.ts"
  ]
}

Basically I just added the include attribute instead of using the files attribute.

Manchester United Head Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted that 'there is work to be done' on his team while speaking to press in Barcelona on Tuesday, just after his team was defeated 3-0 by Barcelona in the Champion's League quarter finals. «We know that there is work to be done. I have said and we have said all along that this isn't going to change overnight and the next years are going to be... Еще massive for us to get to the level Barcelona and those teams are at the moment,» Solskjaer said. Commenting on the performance of Barcelona's star striker Lionel Messi, Solskjaer said that he was one of the «best players in the world in the last decade, and tonight he shows why we all think that and why he has won so many titles, and why this team have also won so many champions leagues. You can prepare if you like but if you give him space and time around the goal he will create chances and score goals. Fantastic player.» Messi scored two of Barcelona's three goals against the English team.

Aurorasaurus Tracks St. Patrick's Day storm on Social Media
Posted on March 19, 2015 March 5, 2020 by aurorasaurus
By Nathan Case and Kasha Patel
An Aurorasaurus user submitted this photo of the aurora in Germany along with a report.
On Tuesday, March 17, 2015, as people adorned themselves with green clothing and infused their livers with green beer, Earth was experiencing the biggest geomagnetic storm of the last decade—leading to beautiful, widespread aurora around world.
The red, white and green St. Patrick's Day aurora was created through a rather fortuitous combination of factors. An explosion on the Sun occurred two days earlier on Sunday, March 15, 2015. The explosion, called a coronal mass ejection (CME), is a blast of large bubbles of gas (plasma) that can create strong geomagnetic disturbances as they collide with the Earth's magnetic field (known as the magnetosphere). More importantly, the magnetic field of this CME was directed southward, opposite to the Earth's terrestrial field, and the solar wind– a stream of charged particles that flows from the Sun past the Earth — was quite fast due the effects of an earthward pointing coronal hole.
The video shows the CME as captured by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. The CME then traveled over 90 million miles from the Sun to Earth to prompt the severe St. Patrick's Day geomagnetic storm. Caption provided by Discover magazine.
The storm's conditions created a perfect environment for aurora hunting. On a scale of G1 (minor) to G5 (extreme), this storm reached up to G4, or "severe" level, as classified by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The storm's Kp index, a global geomagnetic storm index, registered between the 6-8 range (9 is the highest on the scale). The solar wind power remained in the 3000GW + range for over 24 hours, meaning that the aurora was visible in the central to southern United States—a rare occurrence. The CME arrived earlier than expected with arrival estimates at 12:00 UTC and actual arrival occurring at 04:05 UTC.
The first aurora sightings appeared from New Zealand early on Tuesday morning (UTC). The peak of this storm hit during daytime over most of the United States and Europe, but the storm persisted into the night and gave both Americans and Europeans alike a beautiful light show. Reports came in from regions that rarely see the aurora such as the south of England, Germany and Poland. In the US, people reported seeing the aurora from the northern-mid US, including Pennsylvania, Virginia and Colorado.
Aurorasaurus gathered over 35,000 aurora-related tweets and reports. You guys and gals— our users— reported over 160 auroral sightings during the St. Patrick's Day storm, and you verified over 250 tweets as being auroral sightings. (Thank you!) From midnight on March 17 to 1p.m. UTC on March 18, we saw a 50% increase in the number of registered users. Welcome aboard! (Visitors can, of course, still participate in the project by reporting and verifying tweets anonymously. Although if you do not register with Aurorasaurus then we are unable to send you location-based alerts telling you when people report an aurora sighting in your area.)
Aurorasaurus received a number of user reports via Twitter, aurorasaurus.org and the Aurorasaurus phone apps (iOS and Android). This time-lapse how the number of reports increased throughout the day as auroral activity peaked and diminished.
From the team here at Aurorasaurus, we wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your efforts! Your citizen science observations and your time spent in verifying tweets are sincerely appreciated. As you know, we combine your reports to provide our users with real-time alerts of when an aurora might be visible near them. During this storm alone we issued 361 such notifications! We will also use the data you provide to improve auroral oval models and develop a better notification system using both the traditional satellite-based data and your citizen science data.

Since coming across Magigoo, it has become an essential tool which I couldn't possibly do without. While hundreds of different printers perform differently; the one thing I can also count on, is the reliability of a print always sticking and always releasing without any issues thanks to Magigoo. No matter the build surface, I find myself always using a touch of magigoo just to make sure the prints will remain secure even after 50+ hours of printing time.

Przełęcz Karkonoska (1198 m n.p.m.) – przełęcz w głównym grzbiecie Karkonoszy, nad miejscowością Przesieka, pomiędzy Małym Szyszakiem a Śląskimi Kamieniami. Biegnie nią granica polsko-czeska. W Czechach nosi nazwę Slezské sedlo, niemiecka nazwa to Spindlerpass.

Wyraźne obniżenie w połowie Śląskiego Grzbietu składa się z dwóch przełęczy. Pierwszą od zachodu i głębszą jest Przełęcz Dołek (1178 m n.p.m.), a za Ptasim Kamieniem (1213 m n.p.m.) znajduje się właściwa Przełęcz Karkonoska o wysokości 1198 m n.p.m., do której zarówno od czeskiej, jak i od polskiej strony prowadzi asfaltowa droga. Jej polski odcinek jest bardzo zniszczony i zamknięty dla ruchu motorowego. Biorąc pod uwagę różnice nachyleń, która od dołu podjazdu z Podgórzyna (347 m n.p.m.) na przełęcz wynosi 891 m (na długości 12,44 km), jest to najtrudniejszy asfaltowy podjazd w Polsce. Jej nachylenie miejscami dochodzi do 29%, a średnia najbardziej stromego odcinka – 16%.

Nieco nad przełęczą znajduje się polskie schronisko Odrodzenie oraz (niżej) czeski hotel Špindlerova bouda o standardzie 3 i pół gwiazdki, zaś na samej przełęczy dawny budynek straży granicznej. Po czeskiej stronie, około 300 metrów niżej od Špindlerovej boudy mieści się także wojskowy ośrodek wypoczynkowy VS Malý Šišak, który powstał w okresie międzywojennym i nosił wówczas nazwę Adolf-Baude. W pobliżu, przy drodze prowadzącej do Szpindlerowego Młyna, znajduje się jeszcze kilka innych obiektów turystycznych.

Po wojnie funkcjonowała nazwa "Przełęcz Szpindlerowska".
