Confidence Ready Mix (CRM) is one of the respective concerns of Confidence Group, that has its own water treatment plant for producing quality concrete. The percentage of salt and iron in water in Chittagong is higher than in other areas and is not suitable for construction work. Using this water, having high salt and iron content, causes oxidation of rods and decreases the strength of buildings. Therefore Confidence Ready Mix uses its own water treatment plant to purify the water which is eventually used in our ready mix to ensure the quality of the concrete.
Neither manual mixing nor mixture machine ensures the correct ratio of concrete. Only ready mix computerized system makes sure that the correct ratio of stones, sand, cement and water is used, which guarantees your building's structural excellence.
By not dumping construction material beside the road side, we can use ready mix to keep the city clean and be environment friendly.
CRM has the most modern water treatment plant for ensuring saline and iron free pure water.
We use the best quality stone chips and coarse sand for maintaining the superior strength our clients look for.
We have the most modern concrete research laboratory where highly trained quality assurance personnel are working to ensure the best possible quality of RMC production.
CRM power generator plant ensures 24 hours uninterrupted production.
Structural concrete normally consists of cement, fine mineral aggregate and coarse mineral aggregate. These proportions, however, are often varied to achieve the strength and flexibility required for a particular setting. In addition, concrete contains a wide range of chemicals that imbue it with the characteristics desired for specific applications. The cement is mixed with the other ingredients: aggregates (sand, gravel, or crushed stone), admixtures and water. Aggregates are pre-blended or added at the ready-mix concrete plant under normal operating conditions. Confidence Ready Mix concrete is manufactured in a modern, fully computerized plant with two cement silos of capacity 100 MT each. The mixing operation uses rotation or stirring to coat the surface of the aggregates with cement paste and to blend the other ingredients uniformly. A variety of batch or continuous mixers are used to produce the perfect blend. Once the concrete mixture is ready, it is transported to the work site in transit mixers. Confidence Ready Mix (CRM) has mobile and stationary pumps capable of discharging concrete at high elevations, over long distances. CRM has the facilities to manufacture concrete maintaining the grade and mix design as required and advised by the client. A large fleet of the latest models of Transit Mixers and concrete pumps to suit different terrains and work sites ensures that our customers get timely and uninterrupted supply of premium quality concrete.
Modern concrete mix designs can be complex. The choice of a concrete mix depends on the need of the project in terms of strength, appearance and in line with local legislation and building codes. The design is developed by determining the requirements of the concrete. These requirements take into consideration the weather conditions that the concrete will be exposed to in service and the required design strength. The compressive strength of a concrete is determined by taking standard molded, standard-cured cylinder samples.
The ratio of all the ingredients is accurately maintained, significantly reducing wastage. Manual labor associated with concrete production on-site is quite high. Using RMC decreases the number of labors required, as well as the time they need to spend for each casting. Raw materials storage is not only expensive but also cumbersome. Using RMC almost eliminates the need for on-site storage hassle and thereby minimizes the cost.
Quality control for on-site concrete has always been a major concern for the engineers and construction companies. Water-cement ratio and grading of the aggregates are next to impossible with the old fashioned concrete. With ready mix concrete, especially from Confidence Ready Mix Product quality is always ensured as we use state-of-the-art machineries and testing equipments.
80% or more of the greenhouse gases generated from structures are released through energy produced for their ongoing heating and cooling. But, Insulated concrete wall systems provide high R-value and thermal mass with low air infiltration to provide superior thermal efficiency and optimal energy performance over the long life of the building. Since homes and buildings constructed with insulated concrete walls are not subject to large daily temperature fluctuations, owners can lower heating and cooling bills by up to 25 percent. Heating, ventilating and air-conditioning can also be designed with smaller-capacity equipment for additional savings. Moreover construction site's electricity consumption and dust can be minimized by the use of RMC.
Reduce maintenance costs In the long run, concrete buildings and pavements stand the test of time through their extreme durability and low maintenance requirements, and have a significant sustainable advantage over other structures. Moisture, which can undermine other building materials through rust or rot, has no weakening effect on concrete. Neither termites nor molds take any toll on concrete. In fact, concrete continues to strengthen over time, that is why concrete structures built years ago are still sustaining.
The primary ingredients of concrete - crushed stone or gravel, sand and water - account for approximately 90% of the volume of the mixture, and are plentiful in our country. Cement, which accounts for most of the mixtures is produced by Confidence Cement as well.
Steady Quality Concrete is made in hi-tech PLC backed computerized plant. Hand-Mixed concrete is the cause of inconsistent quality.
Rapid concrete pouring. Hand-Mix construction delays the project completion time.
Raw materials used after proper screening. Quality of raw materials are inferior.
When huge quantity concrete is required, RMC is suitable for the work. SMC takes more time. Continual mixing needs to be done for huge mixing but mixers are too small to handle the requirements.
No wastages of raw materials at working place, as everything is producing in our state of the art RMC plant. Large quantities wastage of raw materials due to manual mixing.
Reduce labour cost, time & money. Mixing the concrete on site means waste of time, labour & money.
You don't need to stock materials and watch over them. There's no worry about pilferage since the concrete is directly supplied to your site as it is when required. Risk of pilferage of raw materials is high. Housekeeping could be poor due to piles of stock lying at the site.
We make concrete by clean, saline & iron free water by our own water treatment plant. Concrete made by dirty & saline water.

What is the first country that comes to your mind when you think of an Eurotrip? France? Germany? Spain? You should never leave Portugal out and we're convinced you're going to fall in love with it after reading this modest selection of reasons why you should visit this beautiful country.
This is the most Western European nation, and it's rather small in size but very rich in culture and customs. It has one of the most amazing beaches in Europe and the best food and wine for those who enjoy seafood.
Portugal emerged in 1139 with the name of "Kingdom of Portugal", but its independence was only recognized four years later. It has now over 10 million habitants, staying at #16 in the list of European countries by population. It used to be a monarchy for 800 years, leaving behind some gorgeous castles as a rich cultural heritage.
Lisbon is actually the second oldest capital in Europe, after Athens, Greece. The largest casino in Europe, Casino do Estoril, is only 18 km from the capital. Other popular casinos are Casino de Espinho e Casino da Póvoa.
Do you enjoy music? Fado was considered in 2011 an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. It is a traditional music genre. The typical instruments used are a Portuguese guitar and viola and it seems to be most enjoyed by the older people.
The Portuguese ceramic tiles are a very popular architecture component and yield a great postcard. They are applied on walls, floors and even ceilings of the most diverse buildings all over Portugal, such as historical churches and railway stations (São Bento!).
Who never heard of Port wine? Francesinha? Bola de Berlim? Those are just a few traditional food and beverages that everyone must taste at least once in their lifetime.
You can actually visit Port wine cellars to taste this sweet fortified wine from the Douro Valley. It is possible for tourists to take part in the harvest and producing process of this world-famous beverage.
If you're into sweets and pastry, please do yourself a favor and try the famous Bola de Berlim and Pastel de Belém. The first consists of a yeast dough with a yellow cream filling made of egg-yolk called creme pasteleiro (custard) and the latter is basically a creamy, flaky custard tart. Google it and feast your eyes!
For those who want to try something different, do not miss the chance to eat a Francesinha. This is a crazy sandwich made with bread, all kinds of meat (including sausage, ham, and steak) and melted cheese, and is served on a plate with french fries on the side. The secret is in the sauce, which is made out of tomato and beer. It's sounds like a crazy combination, but it's indeed very tasty!
Arroz de Marisco (seafood rice) is another popular choice. Cod seems to be a must-have in every table at Christmas. You can enjoy some of the most amazing seafood in the world in the beautiful Esplanadas with a nice view to the sea or river (Douro River, in the picture).
Portugal has a vast coastline with tons of beautiful beach destinations to choose from. The best and most popular spots for tourism are Madeira, Azores, and Algarve.
Madeira and Azores are both archipelagos containing some of the most breathtaking beaches in Europe. They all get very crowded in the summer, proving that everyone loves them.
Alentejo is a different region well-known for its countryside and has a very curious particularity: the whole territory is flat!
A fun fact for the football fans: Cristiano Ronaldo is from Funchal, Madeira Island, and in December 2014 received his own statue as a tribute in his hometown.
Considered one of the 7 Wonders of Portugal, this is a natural park with 702 square kilometers located in the northwest of the country. If you want to spend some quality time with your family in a natural environment, this is the perfect spot.
Since it's a public space, you don't have to pay to enjoy most of the things there, but they do offer a wide range of paid services. You can choose to stay in a hotel for a few days or you can simply bring a tent and stay in the camping area for free.
The waterfalls are just breathtaking, not to mention the mountain views and the extensive river in which you can pay a small fee to use a paddle boat. It also features quite a few hiking trails for those who enjoy a good hike.
Portuguese people are very warm and festive. They are very passionate about football and the rivalry between the biggest clubs and its supporters are unbelievable. The three most important football clubs are Porto (from the city of Porto), Benfica and Sporting (both from Lisbon).
You may or may not have heard about the Festa de São João. It is a popular and lively celebration held on the night of June 23rd in Oporto. The streets get crazy overcrowded with people hitting everyone with a soft plastic hammer and garlic flowers on the head. It's definitely something you should experience. Lisbon has its own version, but instead of celebrating São João, they celebrate Santo António on June 12th. The highlight of both parties are the fireworks set at midnight.
Previous Previous post: Is There a Hero in Superhero Movies?
And I'm sure you won't regret it, it's just beautiful and perfect to visit in the summer. Enjoy!
I've never been to Portugal but I'm going there in August. I'm even more excited after reading this!

So funny throughout, it out Deadpool'd Deadpool for me. Probably one of the strongest villains yet with a interesting motive, fantastic supporting cast from everybody, just a good standalone tale. If I had to say a negative, like practically all superhero films a bit too long but it was so enjoyable it's easily looked past.
Top 3 Marvel film for me.
It's going to ease it's way over the overall box office earning for both of the Amazing Spider-Man films over the next couple of weeks I think - they really did kill the character in the box office with their shittiness.

Yeah it looks like it's doing ok now although it's uk performance is disappointing. I agree that the two amazing spiderman films seem to have hurt it's appea though. I definitely think it's the best spiderman film.
Yep I agree. Such a shame that there wasn't much buzz for the film on release.
imply awful. I'm so disappointed since I generally love everything Marvel does. But this is absolutely terrible. The dialogue is atrocious. The fight sequences are shockingly choreographed. The sets (or more-so the obvious green-screen) aren't that crash hot either. It's only saving grace is Lockjaw who is adorable. As one of the few people that actually liked Iron Fist, I can easily say that this is Scott Buck's worst work yet.
Please remove Scott Buck from anything Marvel.
Garth wrote: Please remove Scott Buck from anything Marvel.
I just looked him up. He was the showrunner for the last few seasons of Dexter and was the writer of the final episode.
How did he ever get any work again after that?
I didn't mind Iron Fist but yeh, this Inhumans thing looks awful.
This Inhuman's push is apparently from Ike Perlmutter (who is mental). He has this vendetta against Fox (X-Men/Fantastic 4) and was the one who wanted the movie added to the MCU slate all the way back when it was announced and he still had power in that part of the company (pre Civil War).
During the filming of Civil War the TV and movie divisions were split up and so he only retained any authority in the TV side of things. And that's probably why it's now a TV show.
Perlmutter is strawberry floating batshit to be fair.

One of Trump's advisors or something and personally intervened to cancel the Fantastic Four comic because the situation with Fox. It's gone as far as Fantastic Four characters being removed from games like Marvel Heroes and not appearing on promo images or merchandise.
Aside from having the best villain the Marvelverse has had, this was entirely average. The jokes were there, I suppose, but not particularly amusing most of the time and the quirkiness of Parker got old, fast. The middle sagged and the finale was the usual vomit of CGI (which was surprisingly sub par for the entire film). Still, as I say, Vulture and his crew were the best superhero villains since Dr Octopus back in the day, and worth seeing the film for on their own.
I think I'm just sick of superhero films. Having seen War for the Planet of the Apes use CGI to create real, emotional characters and narratives, going back to the crash-bang-wallop of Marvel was just a bit boring.
On the subject of Spider-Man it would be pretty cool if Avengers Tower that had just been sold to someone in Homecoming turns out to be Reed Richards and have it become the Baxter Building.
Director Roel Reiné tells CNET how his low-budget action background made him the man to realise Marvel's latest TV show.
ou wouldn't think box office-dominating Marvel would ever have to worry about schedules or budgets. But the tight timetable and funding for new TV show "Inhumans" saw Marvel and ABC turn to director Roel Reiné for his experience making low-budget action movies in record time.
"Inhumans" is the next Marvel saga to leap from page to screen. Following the adventures of moon-dwelling, superpowered royalty banished to Earth, the show was shot on Imax cameras and will premiere in theatres before it's on TV.
I caught up with Dutch director Reiné in London, where he told me he was picked for the job because of his vision for the character drama at the heart of the superpowered shenanigans.
Reiné's resume also includes a number of low-budget action movies like "Death Race 2" and "The Scorpion King 3", and this experience stood him in good stead. "I think they liked me for the job because I was able with my action movies to shoot in a very short time, or with very low budgets, action that looks like a big-budget movie," he said. "It was not a feature film, it was a TV episode, but they still wanted to have the scope."
Time was also a critical factor. "The schedule was super-tight," Reiné laughed. "I had TV schedule time to shoot it with Imax cameras, 20 days to shoot two episodes. It's nerve-wracking but I come from a low-budget film world, so 20 days for me is luxury."
The Marvel cinematic universe, of which "Inhumans" is a part, is tightly controlled by the company's top brass -- an experience that's been described as potentially "maddening or exhilarating".
"There was always a Marvel executive around me," remembered Reiné, "just to make sure that whatever I did, or whatever we did together, would tie in with other characters in other universes, in other comics, in other series or movies. They're very protective. … These people are very passionate about their product and about characters and about doing the best version of everything."
"I heard all of these horror stories of working with Marvel, but I didn't feel that way," said Reiné. "It was very collaborative. … Nine out of ten times they liked what I pitched -- even radical things."
One of the challenges was making the show for the towering screens of Imax theatres, which dictated some creative choices. "Shaky handheld stuff doesn't really work for IMAX," Reiné suggested as an example. "I chose the way to move the cameras more forwards and backwards, and also we built the sets with more scope on top and higher, bigger ceilings … It was really a blast."
The first two episodes of "Inhumans" will be shown in Imax theatres around the world on 1 September, before appearing on ABC in the US and on various broadcast and streaming services around the world.
In the future there's going to be some brilliant "behind the scenes" revelations.
Is there any particular reason you hate the Inhumans aside from being an X-Men fanboy?

Friday Gateway Wrap-Up »
Welcome to World Wide Technology Raceway
Welcome to World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway, which throughout the rest of the weekend will be known here as simply WWTR or just Gateway. I try to give sponsors their recognition, but that's just way too much to type each time.
As promised, the weatherman has been kind to us this year. We were a little late arriving to the track (1:00 when cars were heading out for practice). But even at that late hour, it was only 77°. Even now as I type at 3:00 it's only 82°. Compared to what we've had here for the last two years, this feels like a Godsend. It's still supposed to be almost perfect for the race tomorrow night.
The first practice session is in the books, but it was not the usual cast of characters at the top. Surprisingly,rookie Santino Ferrucci paced the first session with a fastest lap of 184.804 mph. Second quick was another rookie – Marcus Ericisson, with a speed of 184.527 mph. Third quick on the session was my pick to win, Scott Dixon; who had a speed of 184.433 mph.
Points leader Josef Newgarden was fourth and Sébastien Bourdais rounded out the Top-Five. Longtime fans will remember when Dale Coyne Racing was a punchline – not anymore. They have placed both of their cars in the Top-Five and both of their drivers are now legitimate threats to win each race. That team has come a long way and I don't feel like they get enough recognition for what they've accomplished.
Other championship contenders, Alexander Rossi and Simon Pagenaud, were sixth and fourteenth respectively.
The Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports cars practically bookended the field for the practice session. While Marcus Ericsson was the second fastest, James Hinchcliffe was the slowest, with a speed of 180.122 mph. Marco Andretti was second slowest at 180.620 mph.
There's not a ton of time from practice to qualifying. Practice ended at 2:00 and qualifying starts at 5:15, but the NBCSN broadcast begins at 5:00 – all times are Central Daylight Time.
Just as I was wrapping this up, a press conference started featuring Graham Rahal and St. Louis Blues defenceman Colton Parayko. The two of them struck up a friendship back in 2013. With the Blues winning the Stanley Cup, the two of them were brought in.
The Stanley Cup will be here tomorrow night for the Blues to show it off. While I appreciate the tradition of the Stanley Cup, I'm a little partial to the Borg-Warner Trophy. Still, if able – I will get a photo of it.
We're going to go get what will essentially be a combination of lunch and dinner before qualifying. Then between qualifying and the final night practice, we are going to get together with our friend, Lynn Weinberg and her dad. We haven't seen Lynn since Barber of 2018, she's a hoot and a very knowledgeable race fan.
That'll do it for now. I'll have a quick post up here later tonight after practice. In the meantime, please follow us on Twitter for photos and video. You may follow me at @Oilpressureblog and Susan at @MrsOilpressure. Please check back later.

So, my friends, a little story of mine shared for World Mental Health Day.
As expressive as I can be with paint, so often on my own journey, I have held back talking about my feelings and thoughts, as I've felt afraid of rejection or worried about burdening others with my load.
A couple of weeks ago I'd been really struggling with an ongoing bout of anxiety and finally had a huge cry and let all my feelings out to my husband, who had no idea what was going on with me ... because I'd been trying to shield him from my 'stuff'. I thought that I should process my struggles alone or I would make life harder for others.
Instead, I was making things harder by struggling alone.
He reminded me that he's my husband and he wants me to share my Life with him. He suggested that from now on, whenever I have the thought 'I shouldn't talk about that', I could reach out and share that with him, just to let it out - and know that we are a team, here for each other.
So, I've started doing that and I cannot tell you what a difference it has made. I see now how rich life can feel when I accept and share myself as I am, when before, I felt so bottled up with unspoken words, that I struggled to feel or share love freely.
I read recently that Those who cannot cry freely, cannot love freely either; and I see now what is meant by this.
It feels so wonderful to open myself up to loving myself and being loved, warts and all, because we are all human here and we all get our turn to support and be supported. What a gift.
So, here's my heart, opening outward to all of you here, my friends and family, saying sometimes I struggle and sometimes I feel gratitude and sometimes I feel inwardly rich and sometimes I don't and sometimes, I'm somewhere in between ... Yet I am me, it's all part of my package and I am learning that this is not just okay, it can also be a wonderful blessing.
As I learn new ways to manage my mental health experiences, a path has opened up for me that regularly gives me the choice to grow and learn and experience richness and most of all, open myself up to Love more and more every day, shared with people like your beautiful self.
Wishing You Inner & Outer Kindness on World Mental Health Day. Here's to sharing ourselves more openly.

Jane Wilhelmina Stirling, née le  à Kippenross et morte le  à Mid Calder, est une aristocrate écossaise, surtout connue comme élève et amie de Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849), qu'elle a fréquenté dans les dernières années de la vie du compositeur.

Biographie
Elle est la fille de John Stirling, laird de Kippendavie, et naît à Kippenross House près de Dunblane (comté de Perth).

À partir de 1826, elle séjourne régulièrement à Paris, souvent avec sa sœur Catherine (veuve Erskine), née en 1791. Elle y rencontre de nombreux artistes et écrivains.

Elle est l'élève de Chopin à partir de 1842. Celui-ci lui dédie les deux Nocturnes (en fa mineur et mi bémol majeur, op. 55) publiés au mois d'.

Lorsque Chopin se rend en Grande-Bretagne en 1848 pour une série de concerts, il séjourne dans différentes demeures de la famille  Stirling dans la région d'Édimbourg.

À son retour à Paris et jusqu'à sa mort quelques mois plus tard, Jane Stirling l'entoure de ses prévenances.

À la mort de Chopin, elle participe aux préparatifs des funérailles. Elle rachète une partie de ses biens mis aux enchères, en conservant quelques-uns et offrant les autres à Louise Jedrzejewicz (1807-1855), sœur aînée du musicien, ainsi qu'à des amis et à des élèves du compositeur.

Durant l'année 1850, elle rend compte à la famille Chopin, en Pologne, de l'exécution et de la pose du monument destiné à son tombeau au cimetière du Père-Lachaise. Elle inaugure la tradition des pèlerinages annuels au Père-Lachaise, reprise en 1911 par le musicologue français Édouard Ganche (1880-1945) dans le cadre de la Société Chopin.

Jane Stirling possédait une édition française des œuvres de Chopin, annotée par lui-même ; en 1927, cet ouvrage a été offert à Édouard Ganche par la petite-nièce de Jane, Anne D. Houstoun. Il en a tiré son Édition monumentale de l'œuvre de Frédéric Chopin (Oxford University Press, 1928-1932).

Jane Stirling est inhumée sous une dalle de l'aile nord de la cathédrale de Dunblane, en Écosse.

Pottawattamie County, Iowa, is not the first place one would necessarily think to look for examples of innovative regional economic development. The county is home to just under 100,000 residents (not counting chickens) and thousands of acres of farmland. For years, the main local crops were corn and soybeans. It's not the kind of place one envisions as a hub in a diverse regional economy that reaches into nearby Nebraska.
And yet, in the last several years, the county has become just that. Pottawattamie County has collaborated with towns and cities beyond its borders to boost the reach of its local farmers and to foster a different kind of agricultural sector that grows fruits and vegetables for its own residents to buy and eat. It has worked to train the next generation of farmers and to help existing farms with small-business coaching. Now, the county even collaborates with nearby Omaha, Nebraska, to help attract and keep corporations in the region instead of engaging in an economic border war across state lines, a development that too often plagues regional economic development.
The end goal, as the National Association of Counties writes, is for Pottawattamie and its partners to "successfully [combine] their economic efforts with the hope of together forging a stronger economic region than either could create independently."
Now, the group tries to help farmers sell produce and connect with nearby restaurants, schools, and hospitals. In doing so, it has created a new market for locally grown food at a time when "eat local" is all the rage. "Even though Iowa is an agricultural state, a lot of it is commodity crops," says Lance Brisbois, project coordinator at the Golden Hills Resource Conservation & Development, the nonprofit that runs SWIFFI. "If you want to buy local produce, it is hard unless you know a farmer. If you go to a grocery store, you're buying produce from California and South America."
SWIFFI aims to change that equation. "We are seeing the results of this. Chefs want to take our food, and we're taking our produce in today for community-supported agriculture," O'Brien says by phone from her barn. "SWIFFI helped to build the infrastructure to be able to market" in nearby areas, including Omaha, a 45-minute drive from Pottawattamie County.
More recently, starting in 2014, Pottawattamie County and southwest Iowa began to think about collaborating more closely with Omaha to boost the local economy. For years, the two regions had competed with tax breaks and various other incentives to lure company headquarters from one state to the other. But since so many people in Southwest Iowa work in Omaha and vice-versa, it made sense to begin to work collaboratively. "The new word is 'cooperation,'" says Melvyn Houser, the Pottawattamie County supervisor. "You're still fighting for your own piece [economically], but you understand that there's an advantage to your neighbor also winning the war."
One regional group called the Western Iowa Development Association helped to foster this collaboration. This group works with a number of diverse communities throughout Iowa (some as small as 1,600 residents) to ensure that the region builds a good economic future.
One early success story involved a local company called Lone Mountain Truck Leasing Company that originally had offices in both Iowa and Nebraska. The company wanted to consolidate its operations, says Lori Holste, executive director of the Western Iowa Development Association, so she and her colleagues in Omaha worked together to keep the company local. Lone Mountain Truck Leasing Company ended up in Carter Lake, Iowa, with 64 jobs in total. The state of Iowa gained about 50 new jobs in the process; Holste considers it a win for the region since all of the jobs stayed in the general vicinity. "I think part of the success is building a strong relationship with accountability," Holste says. "It has happened the opposite way, too, with companies going to Nebraska."
It makes sense for Pottawattamie County to work with nearby counties and Omaha to both expand the reach of its local farmers as well as bolster its own economic development prospects. And in doing so, the county has created new markets for fresh fruits and veggies, and new jobs for county residents; that's a much different economic portrait for a rural county once just rooted in corn and soybeans.


The project is described briefly on this page on the Cadent web site.
At Runcorn, Ineos make hydrogen and chlorine by the electrolysis of brine.
When I worked in Castner-Kellner works at Runcorn, it was generally taken away be truck.
The Burbo Bank wind farm in Liverpool Bay, can produce 348 MW of electricity using some of the biggest wind turbines in the World, according to this article in The Guardian.
Using excess electricity generated by win turbines at night, is used by the Germans to create hydrogen.
It doesn't look like the project will suffer from a shortage of hydrogen.
Alsthom have a site at Widnes, where they modify and paint trains. They have also indicated, that they might build new trains in the UK.
They have also developed a hydrogen-powered train called the Alsthom Coradia iLint, which starts test running with passengers in a couple of months.
This promotionalvideo shows how Alsthom's hydrogen-powered Coradia iLint works.
The North Wales Coast Line would be an ideal test track.
It's around eighty miles long.
It is nearly all double-track.
It's probably pretty flat, as it runs along the coast.
I don't think too many people would bother about a few extra quieter trains, just emitting steam and water vapour.
North Wales could be getting a new environmentally-friendly tourist attraction.


The 2017 IPAN National Conference in Melbourne, War, Peace and Independence – Keep Australia Out of U.S. Wars, was a great success, building on previous IPAN National Conferences in Canberra (2014), Brisbane (2015) and Alice Springs (2016).
The Conference lifted and strengthened the public call for an independent Australia foreign policy; and consolidated IPAN's work in building a broad-based peace movement in Australia.
The Conference was characterised by informative and strong evidence- based presentations by a wide range of speakers (speakers audios are now available to use on IPAN's website); and the large numbers of participants attending the conference – IPAN affiliates, individuals and interested people previously not familiar with IPAN. Close to 200 people attended the Conference throughout the weekend of 8 – 10 September.
From IPAN Voice 8 newsletter.
Many speakers expressed concerns with the integration of Australian foreign policies, defence industries and capabilities into U.S. global military agendas and supporting U.S. wars. Many speakers stressed that now is the time to promote widely and stronger the call for an independent foreign policy and build a broad and united people's movement for peace and independence from U.S.
The success and interest in the Conference and IPAN reflected the growing public concerns with Australia's subservience to U.S. global military agendas and the dangers of hosting U.S. bases and the drones program in Australia.
The conference took place at a time of increasing U.S. belligerence and provocations on the Korean Peninsula and the build up of U.S. military on the Peninsula, including the THAAD system and joint military exercises.
In the lead up to the Conference, the wide promotion amongst the community and unions enabled IPAN to reach wider sectors.
IPAN received very positive feedback from many participants, congratulating IPAN for organising an informative and inclusive conference with a strong line up of speakers and a wide range of topics. Conference participants came from around Victoria, Qld, Alice Springs, NSW, South Australia, Alice Springs, Canberra, Tasmania and West Australia. It was a truly national conference with representatives from every state/territory.
David Vine is Associate Professor of Anthropology at American University in Washington, DC. He is the author of Base Nation: How U.S. Military Bases Abroad Harm America and the World. David is also the author of Island of Shame: The Secret History of the U.S. Military Base on Diego Garcia. David provided an historical background to the current 800+ US bases operating around the world. Showing us photos of eg Guantamo Bay living quarters for staff little American suburbs placed in far away places like Diego Garcia. His presentation was a real eye-opener. Listen on www.ipan.org.au/conference2017audio.
In keeping US nuclear ships out of NZ and their many campaigns against US bases in NZ.
One of the outstanding features of the Conference was the wide range of organisations attending – from faith organisations, different peace groups, community organisations concerned with lack of public funding to meet community needs, academics, lawyers, journalists and unions.
The Maritime Union of Australia had a strong contingent at the conference with delegations attending from Sydney, Port Kembla and Victorian branches. Representatives and members from other unions included ETU, NTEU, CFMEU. The MUA's support in particular was enormous and IPAN is indebted to the union and its members.
IPAN Conference Declaration and resolutions on the Korean Peninsula, the Philippines, West Papua and solidarity greetings to the Pine Gap activists facing trial in November were adopted by the conference and detailed below.
IPAN co-ordinating committee has put a great deal of work in organising the Conference. We wish to thank many of our supporters who enthusiastically promoted the conference to their networks and contacts and volunteered to help on the weekend.
The conference concluded with a protest outside the U.S. Consulate in Melbourne on Tuesday 12 September, calling on the U.S. to remove the THAAD "defence" system and get out of Korea.
• We call on the Australian government and the Opposition to end their unequivocal subservience to U.S. military and foreign policies that have made Australia a virtual rubber stamp, helping to legitimise U.S. foreign policies, military adventures and threats to peace. For example, Australia refusing to ratify the U.N. Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty; continued support for Israel's occupation of the West Bank and the blockade on Gaza, and voting with the U.S. and U.K. against calls in the U.N. for decolonising Diego Garcia U.S. military base and allowing the Indigenous people return to their homeland.
• We call on the government to immediately end Australia's military engagements in U.S.- led wars in the Middle East and Afghanistan.
· We call on the Australian government to immediately pledge support for the U.N. Nuclear Weapons Bans Treaty.
· We call for removing U.S. marines and warplanes from Darwin back to the U.S.
· We call for an immediate end to any contribution from the U.S. military intelligence base Pine Gap near Alice Springs to the drone assassination program. Furthermore, we are deeply concerned that US military bases on our soil, including Pine Gap, integrate Australia into the US war machine and lock us into its wars against countries with whom we're not at war, and jeopardise Australia pursuing friendly and peaceful relations with our neighbours and the international community. These bases deny Australia our sovereignty and our freedom to make foreign policy decisions independently of the US. We support the call made by the former Prime Minister, the late Malcolm Fraser, to phase out U.S. military bases on Australian soil.
· We call on the government to re-direct public funds from supporting U.S. wars and the military-industrial complex into public and community needs such as health, education, income security for all, affordable housing, creating sustainable and socially useful local industries and jobs; and addressing climate change.
· We call for the removal of Lockheed Martin and other military corporations from Australian Universities and schools. We oppose the inroads made into the militarisation of education, manufacturing industries and the economy by military corporate conglomerates like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and others.
· We call for the ending of military tensions in the South China Sea by the removal of the military presence of countries not directly involved in the disputed territories. Australia should not be used to provoke a conflict by sending our navy or airforce into the disputed areas.
Resolution on West Papua We call on the Australian government to support the inalienable right of the West Papuan people to independence from Indonesia, to peace and security.
Solidarity Message to activists opposing DSEI Arms Trade Fair in London This 2017 Conference of the Independent and Peaceful Australia Network send solidarity greetings to the activists currently blockading and opposing the DSEI Arms Trade Fair in London. We are here in Melbourne to seek a peaceful and independent Australian foreign policy: commercialisation of war is a major impediment to this. As Aranduth Roy said, "we used to sell weapons to fight war, now we fight wars to sell weapons." We stand with you in opposing this trade in death and destruction.
International Day of Peace protest in Martin Place Sydney.
For a short time on (the International Day of Peace) one of Sydney's many memorials to militarism displayed messages of peace.
In Brisbane the International Day of Peace was celebrated with the 6th annual Peace Lecture held at St Johns Cathedral in the city. The University of Qld and Griffith worked with the United Nations Assn of Australia Qld Branch and Just Peace Qld (IPAN member) to organise.
Professor Henry Reynolds lecture was titles Australia's Unnecessary Wars. Henry Reynolds spoke about how virtually none of the wars Australia has committed to and engaged in were about the defence of Australia. He talked about the massive loss of life and quality of life for those returning from the Boer War through to today where so many returning soldiers suffer PTSD and poor quality of life for themselves and their families. The lecture was very well received.
The evening was complimented by song and other speakers.
7 October 2017 It's time to resist! TOGETHER!
Determined activists around the world have been resisting occupation, militarism, and foreign military bases on their lands for decades. These struggles have been courageous and persistent. Let's unite our resistance into one global action for peace and justice. This fall, during the first week of October, we invite your organization to plan an antimilitarism action in your community as part of the first annual global week of actions against military bases. Together our voices are louder, our power stronger and more radiant. Let's resist together to abolish war and stop the desecration of Mother Earth. Join us in creating a world where every human life has equal value and a safe environment in which to live. It is our hope that this is the beginning of an annual effort that will better unite our work and make our connections with each other stronger. Will you join us in this global effort?
As Albert Einstein said: "War cannot be humanized. It can only be abolished." Will you join us? Let's make this possible, together.
Join us in Brisbane on October 7th as we join with others around the world to call on US coalition governments to leave Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. In North Korea Australia has recently joined the US and others to stage naval and military exercises in the seas off North Korea.
Come with friends, colleagues, your MP's, and Faith Leaders to demonstrate the wishes of people around the world for peace.

Once 50 nations have ratified or acceded to it, it will enter into force.
It has been a tremendous achievement to reach agreement on the Treaty at the UN and ICAN has been in the forefront of this campaign.
Now the Treaty is open for countries to sign the Treaty and it is obviously vital that Australia is among them.
SIGN THE NUCLEAR WEAPON BAN TREATY!
It is self-evident that the risk of war is not confined to the South China Sea. In fact, the risk of war there is probably less than in other significant flash points around the world.
Since 1945 The US has overthrown or sought to overthrow at least 55 governments, of which 32 were successful. Recent examples involving Australia include Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. All of these countries, and many others from that list of 55, are now seriously dysfunctional. They have certain other features in common, including the reasons for the intervention, which are rarely as publicized. Similarly, the mainstream media likewise continually misrepresents the consequences.
Australia faces a number of key challenges heading into the "Asian Century," particularly regarding how it will balance its economic and security interests. Since Australia signed the ANZUS Treaty with the United States and New Zealand in 1951 during the Korean War, the country has continued to place a great degree of its protection under the American nuclear umbrella. As the significantly smaller ally, some experts say Australia's foreign policy has long been subverted to the strategic objectives of its great and powerful friend, which has come at a cost.
A review of how we conduct our alliance relationship with the US is urgently required, not simply because it has elected a President who is unfit for his job, but because of the US' attachment to war.
Today the historic Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) opens for signature at the United Nations. This treaty was adopted in July this year with the support of 122 nations. The treaty prohibits development, testing, production, possession, use, or threatened use of nuclear weapons.
A joint statement released today by IPPNWi, the World Medical Association, the International Council of Nurses, and the World Federation of Public Health Associations urges governments to sign on given nuclear weapons catastrophic health, environmental, and humanitarian impacts.
"This treaty will finally place nuclear weapons, the very worst weapons of mass destruction, on the same footing as chemical weapons, biological weapons, land mines and cluster munitions." said Margaret Beavis MAPW National President.
The current brinkmanship between North Korea and the US illustrates just how urgent collective disarmament is.
"As long as some countries hold these weapons, other countries will persist in building them, with ongoing proliferation" said Dr Beavis.
There are over 15,000 nuclear weapons globally, with 1,800 on hair trigger alert. Over the past five decades there have been a number of very close calls, where radar or computer faults have nearly sparked nuclear war.
Australia current government is refusing to sign, despite support of well over 70% of Australians in the last three independent surveys on this issue.
Both the ALP and the Greens support the ban treaty.
Australia faces a clear choice: support the banning of these weapons and work constructively with all nations towards disarmament, or watch them multiply and inevitably cause appalling catastrophe. We strongly urge the Australian government to sign this treaty.
MAPW is the IPPNWi Australian affiliate.
Deal with climate change and global poverty.
North Korea says Trump's dangerous rhetoric is tantamount to a declaration of war. But even if military officials try to act as a restraint on Trump's hostility, Trump isn't bound by the advice he gets from anyone, says Col. Larry Wilkerson in this Real News Network interview. He said, "Most presidents when they're making national security decisions of this weight and consequence do weigh considerably the advice of those around them. Whether it's John Kennedy listening to Bobby Kennedy and the others on the Executive Committee during the Cuban Missile Crisis, or whether it's Harry Truman listening to Dean Acheson's counsel in 1950 after North Korea had invaded South Korea. . . . I think the thing I worry most about it is that Trump is gonna make the decision based strictly on his parameters and listen to no one.

What About Blood?
Have you ever donated blood? Or, had to receive a transfusion? Do you know your blood type? That is a very, very important question. Although blood transfusions had been attempted for centuries, sometimes successfully, it wasn't until 1901 that Karl Lansteiner, an Austrian-American research scientist, discovered what he called blood compatibility. Another scientist, Jan Jansky, analyzed and classified human blood into four main groups, A,B,AB, and O types. We now know that there are positive and negative types as well. Transfusions from a donor with the same blood type increased the likelihood of success enormously. This was demonstrated conclusively in the chaos of World War I, when mobile blood banks saved many soldiers who would most certainly have otherwise died from blood loss.
Did you know that one blood donation can save three lives? Next time you donate this gift of life your blood will be given to someone in dire need with the same blood type as yours. And if you ever need blood, you will receive a transfusion of this precious fluid that is compatible with your blood type.
Next week. a look at the development of the electrocardiogram

The Miracle of Antibiotics
The Age of Antibiotics officially began in 1935 when a German scientist named Gerhard Domagk, who worked as a research scientist for Bayer, discovered that a coal tar substance (a sulphaniamide called Prontosil) killed the streptococcus bacteria. Combined with antiseptic surgery, this discovery increased surgical patients chances of survival. Sufaniamides, called sulpha drugs, had some serious side effects, as many people were violently allergic, but the drug's ability to fight infections was nothing short of miraculous. Robert would definitely have carried sulpha powder in his medical bag from 1935 on....especially when other sulphaniamides were discovered that could cure meningitis and bacterial pneumonia.
In reality, the first and most famous antibiotic had been discovered in 1928 by Sir Alexander Fleming, but penicillin was not generally available until it was mass produced just before the second world war. Now we worry about the effects of over use of penicillin and other antibiotics, but at that time penicillin's discovery meant that doctors could finally cure infectious diseases caused by bacteria. One conservative estimate is that 90 million lives have been saved by penicillin. Eventually , it became available in topical, injectable and tablet form, so yes, Robert would certainly have carried penicillin in his medical bag by the end of the 1930's.
There is a story, probably apocryphal, but prophetic, that Fleming, who was a bacteriologist, commented that he feared the miracle that he had discovered would be overused. Patients wanting to be cured would request antibiotics and doctors would over prescribe. Unfortunately this has happened, and and this overuse has contributed to the present day growth of antibiotic resistant superbugs.

Antiseptic Surgery and Joseph Lister
Dr. Joseph Lister, of Scotland, 1827-1912, was a Professor of Surgery at Glasgow University. He was aware that many people survived the trauma of surgery but then died of what was known as 'ward fever'. In 1865, he learned of the work of a Hungarian surgeon named Semmelweis, who insisted on the use of a solution of calcium chloride as an antiseptic before surgery, and whose patient survival rate was much improved as a result. Lister put this information together with what he had learned of Louis Pasteur's germ theory, which stated that infections were caused by airborne microbes that entered any wound in the skin.
Lister cut the death rate from 'ward fever' among his surgical patients from 45% to 15% in less than 4 years by insisting on absolute cleanliness in the operating theatre.
All surgeons, assistants and nurses, had to wear clean gowns and scrub their hands with carbolic soap before entering his operating theatre, all instruments were sterilized in a solution of carbolic acid and he also developed a machine that would spray a fine mist of carbolic acid over the instruments and bandages. Lister also 'washed' the area of surgery with this antiseptic solution before and after surgery to prevent sepsis. Because of his work, Joseph Lister is called the Father of Antiseptic Surgery,
The crucial discovery of what Pasteur's microbes really were - bacteria - occurred when specific bacteria were identified by Koch. By 1878, Koch knew which bacteria caused septicaemia (blood poisoning), by 1882, he knew which caused Tuberculosis, and by 1883, Cholera. The puzzle pieces were being put together, but following Lister's work ,surgeons knew that all bacteria must be prevented from entering surgical wounds. By 1890, all surgical instruments were boiled to sterilize them and by 1901, surgeons began wearing rubber gloves and face masks.
Robert was a disciple of Lister and in the in the early years of the twentieth century, he employed all these measures which meant his patients seldom died of post operative infections. Along with his surgical instruments, he carried a solution of carbolic acid in his medical bag, and he insisted carbolic acid be used to wash down patients when injuries occurred in the mines or on the farms.
I'm sure some of those readers who have long memories will recall LIFEBOUY soap, but i wonder if you knew that it was an offshoot of Lister's work and that it was a carbolic or coal tar soap, with strong antimicrobial properties thus acting as a mild antiseptic.

Medicine and Childbirth
Until the late 1800's the birthing process was strictly the domain of the mother and women called midwives. The written history of Midwifery can be traced back to ancient Egypt, 2000 years BC, and midwives certainly existed long before that.
By the middle of the 1800's, middle and upper class women ( who could afford it), including Queen Victoria of England, were seeking relief from the pain of childbirth. They began to request anaesthetics, which were already being used in surgery, such as for amputations.
At about this time, the medical branch of anaesthesiology began to grow as a speciality, but for many more years doctors and nurses administered their own anaesthetics.
Chloroform was used from about 1850 onward, but it could be dangerous. Ether gradually replaced chloroform. It was also dangerous, highly inflammable but considered safer than chloroform. After its discovery in 1830, scopolamine was also used in childbirth. Although it was not as powerful a sedative as the first two, its muscle relaxing and anti nausea properties were highly valued.
The dangers accompanying the use of these anaesthetics meant that women requesting them had to be hospitalized for childbirth, thus undermining the midwives and home birthing system, though home births were the norm until at least the 1930's except when complications were suspected. Still, unless hospitalization was recommended. doctors would sometimes accompany midwives or specially trained nurses to the patients home.
During the final two years of Robert's medical studies at Queen's (1904-1908), the last hours of the day were devoted to obstetrics, gynaecology and paediatrics. Throughout his medical career, he was always happiest when delivering healthy babies, usually in the mother's home. Midwifery was still considered very important in the early 1900's, and medical students were encouraged to learn from and support midwives, though the midwives themselves were not invited into the hospitals. Robert would have carried a small bottle of an anaesthetic, probably chloroform, in his bag, along with forceps, hoping that he would not have to use either.
Some important information about cleanliness regarding infant and maternal mortality: In 1837, a Hungarian physician cut the death rate in his maternity clinic by over 50% by insisting that the doctors, midwives, surgical assistants and nurses wash their hands in a solution of sodium chloride before treating their patients. In 1857, on her return from the Crimea, Florence Nightingale insisted on hospital cleanliness, cutting the death rate in the general wards by half.

The following characters had significant roles in the American television comedy series Malcolm in the Middle, which was originally televised from 2000–2006 on the Fox Network.
Originally there were four brothers (although Malcolm's oldest brother attended a military school away from home, so Malcolm was still the middle sibling left at home). A fifth son was introduced in the show's fourth season, a boy named Jamie. The boys are, from eldest to youngest: Francis, Reese, Malcolm, Dewey, and Jamie. In the final episode, Lois discovered she was pregnant with a sixth child. In the third season, Francis travels home (to celebrate his father's birthday) with an Alaskan girl named Piama, and reveals that they are married.
During the first season, the writers decided to keep the family's last name a mystery. In the fifth season episode "Reese Joins the Army (1)", Reese uses a fake ID by the name of "Jetson" to lie about his age. In the series finale, "Graduation", Francis' employee ID reads "Nolastname" (or "No Last Name", a joke referring to the fact that the family name was never spoken aloud). In the same episode when Malcolm was introduced to give the graduation speech, the speaker announces Malcolm's name, but microphone feedback makes his surname inaudible, even though he does appear to mouth the phrase "No last name".

Welcome back! Last week, we spoke to Glyn Iliffe, author of The Adventures of Odysseus, about his fascination for Greek mythology and the tremendous role it plays it his writing. In this second part of our interview, we learn more about his struggle to get published, as well as his own adventures in the foreign lands of social media, and we discuss his view of his future as an author.
Glyn Iliffe: As any would-be author will know, trying to get a publishing contract is a near impossibility. Fortunately, e-books and print-on-demand married with effective use of social media and the internet have given today's authors much more scope for getting their work out into the marketplace. As for me, my experiences of publishing have been very rocky indeed. King of Ithaca was rejected thirty-eight times before my break came with Pan Macmillan. That enjoyed some success, being translated into seven other languages and being reviewed in the Times Literary Supplement. Perhaps because I didn't have an agent, the publishers then seemed to lose a bit of interest and after the third book, The Armour of Achilles, they declined to continue the series because supermarket sales weren't what they had hoped for. A sign of the times, I think! Because I'd sold around sixty thousand books in English I was approached by an agent who tried to sell the rights to the next three, but it seems publishers aren't interested in picking books halfway through a series so nothing more came of it.
Glyn Iliffe: So I was left to my own devices and have since published the fourth novel, The Oracles of Troy, as an e-book. However, quite a few people have been asking after a print version, so I've been considering my options. A friend introduced me to the idea of crowdfunding. This is another new wonder of the modern age that essentially allows authors (among others) to pitch their idea for a book on a website – Kickstarter is the most popular – and invite anyone who's interested to pledge some money toward the campaign. In return backers can choose from a range of rewards – in my case I'm offering copies of Oracles in paperback and hardback, signed or unsigned, as well as invites to the book launch, a mention in the Acknowledgements page or even a chance to own the original manuscript for King of Ithaca. One of the great things about crowdfunding is that it allows people to engage with creative projects, and as well as earning rewards it gives them the satisfaction of having helped good ideas to become reality.
Glyn Iliffe: One of my greatest regrets is not having engaged with the world of the internet and social media much earlier in my career. I've always been slow to appreciate modern technology – I still don't own a mobile phone. So I didn't set up a website until around six months ago, whilst joining Facebook at around the same time and Twitter only recently. However, I'm slowly starting to engage with readers of my books and am enjoying it very much. Before I set up my website I'd only ever heard from two readers that I didn't know personally – a chap in Australia and an old lady in Dorset, both letters forwarded by my publisher. Now I've had contact with hundreds of different people from all over the world and for the first time have begun to get an idea from personal feedback of what readers think of my books. It's been a very encouraging experience, hence my regret at not doing something sooner. I also suspect that most readers of the books think I've died in a car crash, because for three years since the publication of The Armour Of Achilles I've been totally silent. Hopefully with a bit of time and effort I can rectify any such misunderstandings.
Finally, we asked Glyn whether he can offer us any insights into the future of the series. Will he be covering the stories of any of the other characters as they return home, such as Menelaus or Agamemnon – as the latter has a date with destiny involving a bath and a knife? Also, would he consider writing a series about the Roman Empire at a certain point?
Glyn Iliffe: I'm around one fifth of the way through book five in the series, which is currently titled The Voyage of Odysseus (though that may change). As you might have guessed, this retells Odysseus's trials as he returns home to Ithaca after the end of the war. Regrettably, this won't include any first-hand accounts of the journeys of Menelaus and Agamemnon, although we will hear about both during the course of this book and the next. And yes, I am planning a sixth and final instalment, divulging the events that take place when Odysseus finally makes it back to his home.
That'll keep me busy for a couple of years at least, as I only write on a part-time basis. After that I'm not sure what I'll focus on. I've been desperate to pen a couple of teenage novels for some time – indeed, I've written them but they need some loving care and attention before I do anything with them. As for Rome, it's always been tempting but I think there are lots of excellent authors out there who already cover the subject very well – I don't think I would have much to bring to the party! I've toyed with the idea of writing a trilogy about Heracles, though.
More versions of the Trojan War myth are appearing now than at any other time in history, especially with new types of media ranging from film to the graphic novel. What I would most love to see, though, is a high quality television series added to the mix. The Americans have made an art of this, producing season after season of addictive programming that explores narrative and character to a much greater degree than is possible with film. Perhaps a new series about Odysseus…?
It seems fans have exciting times ahead of them. If you want to know more about the ongoing series and Glyn Iliffe himself, visit www.glyniliffe.com. Also, be sure to check out Edinburgh Book Review's review of Odysseus latest adventure, The Oracles of Troy.


Paleo and traveling | If I CAN do it, so CAN you!
Whether traveling by car or plane, bring food with you. The length of the trip determines what I bring. If I'm traveling by car, I like to bring a cooler with some already prepped food: eggs, compliant lunch meat, lettuce, bacon, my ranch dressing, chopped or roasted veggies. I also bring nuts, Lara Bars, beef jerkey, plantain chips and almond butter. This way, no matter where I am, if I'm in a pinch I can make a meal. Here's an example of what I take with me. I fill a larger container with some of my provisions. It goes from my fridge to the cooler back to the fridge – everything contained in one spot.
In that container I have things like salad dressing, guacamole, apples, eggs, etc. you get the idea.
If I'm going by plane I make lettuce wraps ahead of time. Or I may make paleo breakfast cookies or bars. I also know I can hit up a Starbucks for fresh fruit or grab a salad someplace if I need to. But I try to not count on that because if there is some sort or delay, I don't want to be stuck without food.
Whether I'm traveling or not, I ALWAYS have food with me whether it be nuts, a Larabar, dried fruit or an apple. ALWAYS! Better to prepared, I say.
Once you arrive to your location, what do you do? I try to look up menus before hand so we don't end up in a place I can't eat. And never be afraid to ask to alter a meal to suit your needs. Most restaurants are happy to comply. Last night I ordered a grass fed burger without the bun, cheese or condiments. It had bacon and a fried egg on top and I swapped out the fries for broccoli and had a fantastic dinner!!
Traveling while on a paleo diet is totally doable. You just have to do your homework and plan ahead. Organization is the key. It's still work but once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature. Now my family is used to it and knows it's just what mom has to do to keep healthy. You can do it too. Honest. Happy traveling!

Levi's, lego, a nikon, raybans, Chanel masterpieces and your grandpa's old junk.... anything and everything you could think of for a left-of-centre Trophy series was chosen by Cj Hendry to be covered in a metallic coating and illustrated by her in the finest detail.
Born in Brisbane, Hendry is a two-time uni drop out who decided to focus on her passion for art after realising her current life was making her miserable. After selling a lot of her designer clothing and possessions, she saved enough money to live for 6 months solely pursuing her drawing talents. In that time, she caught the eye of an art dealer in Sydney, sold a drawing of a pair of RM Williams boots for $10,000 and quickly gained a cult following on her instagram. I can remember following her one day and passing around my phone in Art class, sharing the sudden success of a local artist who'd gone from fine-tip pen art hobbyist to full-blown game-changer over night.
In the same year, Cj produced a work of Kanye West's face on a giant dollar bill which Yeezy later bought for an undisclosed amount. That year alone, she has been said to have made one million dollars in profits. Her success has been pretty remarkable, with some critics going as far as to accuse her of placing monetary gain in front of artistic integrity. Either way, it's fair to say she's struck a pretty spot on balance between talent and strategic marketing. Her niche brand is very aesthetically pleasing, almost aspirational to many followers, but affordable for very few.
Cj's most recent series ' The Trophy Room ' just finished its month-long exhibition in NYC. I was very fortunate to be in the city for the opening weekend of the show, visiting with some friends who are also Brisbane locals. The two-story Soho gallery was in prime location, and there were beers on the house! The layout was quite aptly like a trophy room, and it was no surprise that all pieces had been crafted down to the very last scribble. We searched far and wide for a mistake, an ugly whiteout mark, something, anything to prove the women is from this planet. It was all unreal. Things were so unbelievably hyper-realistic, I think all of us were pretty mind-blown.
We admired Cj's craft as if no one had ever thought to use pen in tonal art before. It's certainly clear that the way Cj presents her line of work is to ensure it's perceived in that very way: unlike anything you've seen before. Still, I hadn't really observed up close anyone use pen so brilliantly, even if there were many others out there. It was all good fun to be apart of, especially as fellow kids from Brisbane. I felt oddly connected to home, even while the exhibition screamed Soho luxe. After seeing the Kanye bill several years ago on my tiny iPhone screen, it was a surreal thing to stand a few feet away from fifty-thousand dollar masterpieces.

Yianni / McKenna - Seriously?
By RED, December 22, 2019 in International Wrestling
8 hours ago, treep2000 said:
At this point... there are a couple "truths":
* Yianni does this to himself. He doesn't separate from the competition by getting to his offense, and puts himself into dangerous scrambles and counter-wrestling situations. By doing so, the 2nd truth happens...
* NEVER put it in the hands of the refs. EVER.
Two or not to Two? That's really NOT the question. The question is why Yianni continues to wrestle this way. Sure, it's his "style", but neither he nor his fans should be butthurt when he loses matches like this, given the reasons above.
I don't feel sorry for him. Improve. Widen the gap. Or don't.
Best Yianni assessment to date. I am a huge Yianni fan, but have often noted that the results of so many of his critical matches have been left in the hands of the referees. Can't do that. Eventually you are going to lose a few of those calls.

Yianni did win two international tournaments in 2019, right? Were those "outliers," also? I believe that the loss to McKenna is his first ever senior level loss in a tournament (two Euro tournaments, plus the Open and this Senior Nationals). Not too shabby for not being quite as good as everyone thought.
It's amazing that there's an excuse for everyone he's beaten: "razor tight," "calls in his favor," "not the same guy," "fell apart," "BTS is stacked against international opponents." Yianni sure is lucky.
Just curious: what are the reasons he beat Eierman the last three outings? How about Bryce Meredith the two times they met?
To answer your last question, because he's better than those guys.
Yes, he won a couple international tournaments, but who did he beat? He was getting waxed by Musukaev before one of the greatest meltdowns of all time. Maybe I should be more clear. Yianni is elite and a contender to make the team and maybe even medal. However, there are many who expected him to dominate this weight class going forward like he dominated the 2019 Open. My point is that that was not a reasonable expectation. By his own admission, Oliver consistently beat him in the room. He's a 50/50 match up with Zain. Now he's been beaten by McKenna as well. He's in a top 3/4 (not sure I'm ready to count McKenna as a legit contender) for the spot.
My point was made in the context of people explaining his losses as if they were self-inflicted and not as if he just got out-wrestled by a guy on his level. In fact, he lost by doing the exact thing the poster I replied to critiqued him for "not" doing. You talk about excuses. My whole post was against excuses. Outside of the 2019 Open, there is nothing to suggest Yianni is a strong favorite to make the team.

Bernard, you're overdoing it a bit. Nobody expected Yianni to literally dominate the weight after the Open. I think lots of people rightfully expected his learning curve to continue to be as steep as the last year preceding that sick freestyle run, but even the most diehad Yianni fam knew a rematch with JO, let alone Zain could very well go quite differently.
Where reality and fans' hopes diverged is on the steepness of his learning curve, at least for the time being. I don't think Yianni has meaningfully improved since he beat Bajrsng and then Zain at the Yasar Dogu. And that's the surprise more than the fact that he dropped a few matches to Zain and McKenna. I really don't think it's right to say Yianni was not as good as people thought. He's neck and neck with anybody we have at 65 at worst, but it's fair to say he hasn't improved much since taking his redshirt. I personally think JO leaving for UNC had something, and maybe a lot, to do with that. JO is an incredible and very selfless practice partner and I have seen him teach elite talent (not just Yianni but also Pico, and even Dake credits JO for helping his footwork) little nuances that made a difference.
As for the loss to McKenna, you are right about the sequence that cost Yianni the match. It was off his attack that he lost control of position and got countered. But ... did you not watch the rest of the match?? McKenna took 4 committed shots and one hard fake in the match. First shot, he got balls deep and forced Yianni into what I call the Exorcist position (Yianni's patented freestyle funk where his body appears to do a full 360 around his head without exposing). The Exorcist barely saved him from giving up 2. Second shot, balls deep again, TD. Third shot? Balls deep again. Yianni conceded the push out so as to not give up another TD. Fourth shot? A sprawl!! You could just imagine a tear of joy rolling down Koll's eye at the sight of it. It was on the jab step fake (McKenna's fifth advance to Yianni's zero) that Yianni finally capitalized with a perfect countershot to get his first TD.
You are not going to win too many matches at the senior level when your opponent gets balls deep on his first three attempts (to your zero attempts, no less) unless you are Buvaisa Saitiev. Those wondering where the head-hands went are absolutely right to wonder. You can say Yianni shot to ice the match and got countered but it's equally true if not truer that he shot so McKenna couldn't, because whenever McKenna does commit, he is at worst 50/50 to score on Yianni.

My 2c. The reason people bend over backwards to make excuses for Yianni is because the way he wrestles when he puts it all together is other worldly. He had a very high ceiling and speaking for myself I think he gets there and clocks the competition. I agree he isn't there yet but when he's on it's more than a flash of brilliance. It is brilliance. I want Yianni to stop wrestling stupid and realize his high ceiling.
Compare to Zain : Zain is just a hammer and it doesn't seem likely thats going to change. He's a straight charger and a brute and that got him everything you can get in college but it's not looking enough to medal at this weight internationally.
wrestleFan12 and silvermedal reacted to this
I agree Yianni has more tools and therefore possibly a higher ceiling. I will say this for Zain though. I thought he'd figure out how to turn guys from par terre better and am still holding out hope. I thought Zain's techniques would translate better than they have so far. For example, I think that face rip technique he does with a leg in has potential.
cangemi 220
Call it even. Thought McKenna won at ncaaa's . Was close call
Just now, cangemi said:
That's a really good point. It's not as if Yianni skated through NCAAs.
I'm a Yanni fan. Im just saying close calls can go either way.
Yanni got a close call at ncaa and McKenna got this one. Personally I didn't think McKenna had the two.
But really does not matter here both at Happy valley and I really don't know who clear cut favorite is. So seeding is irrelevant. IMHO

16 hours ago, BigTimeFan said:
I mostly agree with this, especially the reason why people make excuses. I think Yianni has the highest future ceiling of our prospects at this weight. I do think he has some limitations and is always going to have a couple guys that will give him major match up problems.
A lot of people complain about guys getting to his legs. This has been fundamental to his style from when I first saw him wrestle as an 8th grader. He's always been scramble reliant. His leg attacks have improved quite a bit the last few years, but he's always going to be a guy that creates scrambles. Guys that finish quickly and cleanly will always be a major problem for him because they both have a way to score on him and they take away one of his most reliable ways to score at the same time.
I don't think he should change his style, nor do I think he will. His current style utilizes his gifts of flexibility and feel to their maximum. I don't think trying to be something else will do him any good. Obviously, there are some things to clean up, but he shouldn't try to be someone he's not. His biggest mistake against McKenna wasn't technical, it was tactical. He both attacked head outside and then went to an Iranian finish which gave McKenna an opportunity to get to his ankles and scramble. I don't think he thought McKenna had that kind of scramble ability.
24 minutes ago, uncle bernard said:
I agree with this. Yianni isn't likely to change his style a whole lot but he can change his tactics. No disrespect to McKenna but Yianni in my view is just the much better wrestler. It's like when JB lost to what's his face in the US way back. Dake and Taylor never beat him but some guy down the ladder did. Bad day. Bad tactics.

It was definitely two. Disappointing but... yeah. All the talk about Yianni not taking shots and his loss to McKenna was for the same reason as his loss to Eierman. With 20 seconds left and a 2 point lead he should have been pretending to engage until the clock ran out.


Join us for a new public art installation, Fiber Sculpture: A Community Constructed Project. It has been three years since we officially opened as a newly renovated and expanded arts building and there is nothing better than celebrating three years with public art. We will have food, drinks, music and a few of our favorite local non-profits, Ecoworks - Creative Reuse & New Haven Free Public Library providing interactive activities. The installation is an inclusive sculptural weaving project that engages our artists of all abilities and our community with the support of the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, CT Office of the Arts (COA), which also receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
