The MPS program has been extraordinarily successful in allowing students who have previously struggled with math courses to successfully complete those courses.
The completion, pass rate, and grades received by MPS students for the past three years have surpassed (by 20 to 50% depending on the class) rates achieved by similar students in traditional sections. The MPS sections are identical in content (and are considered identical to) the traditional courses.
However, a special effort is made to provide extra counseling, tutoring, and instructor assistance as part of the class. The MPS program has won a prestigious Hewlett Foundation Award for its innovative and successful instructional approach.
There is no magic to the MPS program. The classes require a serious commitment on the part of students; the class meets for two hours each day so that the student can receive additional attention from the instructor and instructional assistants, and attendance is a required part of the class.
Students can also enroll in an entire math sequence and hence can benefit from belonging to a continuing community of students, instructors, tutors, and counselors.
We highly recommend that you respond immediately, since the available sections will fill very quickly.
We hope you will consider this special opportunity, and we look forward to seeing you succeed in your mathematics class.

WORLD Cairo zoo busted for donkey-zebra scam
Cairo zoo busted for donkey-zebra scam

The hot weather caused the painted stripes to smear, revealing a donkey instead of a zebra on July 21, 2018. (Photo: Liu Hui)
Cairo (People's Daily) -A new zoo at Cairo's International Garden municipal park has come under fire after it was revealed staff members had painted a donkey with black and white stripes in an attempt to trick paying customers that was actually a zebra.
Last weekend, Mahmoud A. Sarhani, a Cairo student who had recently visited the zoo posted a photo on his social media of what he thought was a strange-looking zebra. Not only did the animal have unusually-long ears, but it also had paint markings on its head.
A closer look revealed the animal was without long, thick hair usually found at the top of a zebra's neck and face. Apparently the "zebra" was nothing more than a typical donkey that had painted with white and black stripes. Zoo employees had even trimmed its mane.
Unfortunately, the hot summer weather caused the paint stripes to smudge.
Mahmoud's photo quickly went viral on social media, receiving over 10,000 reactions and 1,500 comments. Most thought it was funny, but there were a few who became angry and demanded an explanation from the zoo's management.
This was not the first time a zoo had ever tried to pass a donkey off as a zebra. In 2009, there was one in Gaza that painted two donkeys to look like the striped African animal, but to no avail.

For many people who work a regular weekday job, the weekend is their time to relax and catch up with friends. Sunday brunch is the perfect time to get together to enjoy each other's company. And there's great food, too!
Brunch is so popular in some cities that there can be very long waits just to get a table at a restaurant. It might be more relaxing to have brunch at home with some friends, who can bring over delicious breakfast and lunch food to share. What a great way to start your weekend!
Marni loves to have a leisurely brunch with friends and great food, but Brian doesn't feel the same way. Find out more in today's English lesson about how to start a lazy day.
Marni: Brian. You know what I really long for on Sunday mornings?
Marni: That, with brunch: the leisurely activity of enjoying a day of just eating. Right?
Brian: The old mix of breakfast and lunch.
Brian: I can't stand that wait. I like to eat right when I get up.
Marni: Oh, really? Just having a lazy day, where you get together with some of your friends, and you just enjoy each other's company for hours, and snack on finger food. Or have a big meal of breakfast and lunch foods all together. I love it.
Brian: For me, brunch is a little bit more of a hassle, because I have to organize it and get everyone together. My idea of a chill day is to wake up, have some breakfast, and then just kick back around the house.
Marni: I guess our two ideals are different. But that's what makes us friends. The uniqueness.
Marni loves to begin a lazy day with brunch. It's a great way to get together with her friends and enjoy each other's company while eating good food throughout the day. She can't think of another way to enjoy a relaxing day than to start it off with a late breakfast/early lunch meal.
Brian doesn't feel the same way about brunch. Instead of it being a leisurely activity, he thinks it's more of a hassle. Brian would rather wake up, have his breakfast, and relax at home without worrying about organizing a big meal with his friends.
Do you ever have brunch? What is your idea of a great way to start a lazy day?
Also I like to have a brunch in my city with teaching and helping people to learn English.
The great way to start a lazy day is being lazy all the day.
I love gathering with family and friends on the weekends. Friday is for relaxation and watching a movie after a long and hard week. Also, each Saturady, I choose a particular place with my friends to have fun such as a mall, a coffe shop, or we go for skating. Then we have a dinner at our favorite restaurant. On Sundays, I enjoy eating breakfast at my lovable turkish restaurant. When i get up, I feel that the Turkish borek smell exists inside my head! definitely, I spent this great moments each sunday with my family.
Well, I never heard of this before. That you can eat a meal that is a late breakfast or an early lunch as a good start for a chill day. But because I'm a healthy person, I know well how it's important to have your early breakfast, although, on days when I wake up late at the noon, I do that without meaning to have a chill day :)) .
I don't know what's best if you want to have a lazy day, but for a relaxing day, I am for Brian's idea.
Ola, hello or hola in spanish that means hello.
I prefer get up and have complete breakfast with my wife and my son then stay at home,have lunch ,sleep afternoon then when i get up go to our friend's house and spend rest time with them.
Yes having brunch with my friends on the weekend is my favorite but it dosent happen all the time!
Of course I can't call it a lazy day!
When I have a company with my dear friends I have a great time with them full of energy, happiness , joy , activity and excitement!
But I usually have a chill day on the weekend! I wake up like everyday soon , have a breakfast and enjoy my time at home by surfing the net , coming to Eb ;) and so on!
Whether it's a Sunday or not, I must eat something very early in order to wake me up and make me more attentive. Moreover, I get grouchy and start snapping at others if I'm on an empty stomach in the mornings.
However, if I'm sick or had stayed up late the night before, I wake up late and have brunch with my family. But I have never got together with my friends and had brunch for fun like the way Marni loves to.
Brunch and happy hour are part of the american culture. What could be more relaxing on a sunday morning than staying in bed late , knowing that you have a full day to enjoy with your family and friends. First thing, taking a shower, going for a stroll in the park or the farmer market, maybe to attend mass and then " brunch" with friends…burguers, pancakes loaded with cream or caramel sauce. So relaxing , batteries loaded , ready for another hectic week.
@S&W, you have a good habit. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day..
I have been told breakfast is important from a young age.Even though i had appointment with friends,i usually eat something before i go.That's my habit and hard to change.
I like brunch . It's very relaxing to meet friends und talk together while eating.
You know I wake up pretty early at the weekend.On the other hand, I am really hungry when i wake up. so I can't wait for having brunch.

If you do not want to buy a new remote presenter or spend your money every time it malfunctions, consider a model with a good warranty period. Otherwise, you will have to waste a lot of resources to repair or replace it.

The recommended warranty period depends on how often you use your remote presenter, how expensive is it, what company made it, and many other factors.

We think that the best warranty period for a good remote presenter is five years.
Are new remote presentersupposed to be expensive?
The best remote presenterare not always the most expensive. However, the bigger the price is — the better the quality of a product. This rule is also applies to remote presenter, so if you want to get a good model we recommend you to not be too stingy.

After some car lift jiggery pokery somewhat to the manager's surprise 11 BPG turned up at a sun drenched Ealing ground on Monday to play an eagerly awaited crunch match against our friends and rivals. After some relaxing in the shade and consuming tea/dinner the girls were well fuelled for the coming match. Captain Lauren won the toss and chose to bat hoping the team could build a big score.
However things didn't get off to the best of starts as we lost a wicket 2nd ball and then another in the 3rd over, to opposition captain Hannah, to leave us on 7-2. Visions of the friendly match earlier in the season, against the same opponents, which saw us 14-7 crossed everyone minds.
In at 4 was the captain's younger sister Abi. We could only hope there would be fewer disagreements than at home! A few balls later that notion went out the window. Abi not sure where the ball had gone (a few feet next to her!) called for a suicide run. Big sis Lauren says "No!" Little sis calls "Yes!". "No!" from the other end again. By this time Abi is in no mans land. Turning to go back as the wicket keeper tries 3 times to pick the ball up finally manages it, throws at the stumps from 2 yards and misses!! By such fine margins games are won or lost.
Fortunately the pair put this little setback behind them and consolidated taking the score to 47 at the drinks break of 10 overs. After the break they pushed the score along with a mix of 4s and singles until Lauren had to retire on reaching 30. This brought in Millie Mac who confidently hit her first ball to the boundary. Together they accelerated until Abi to had to retire on 30. Emma came in but soon after was undone by one of those balls you sometimes get at Ealing that shoot along the ground. Unfortunately this one was straight! Looking for the big shot Millie Mac also succumbed LBW and it was left to Ella and Pubudika to bat the last 2/3 overs and take the team to the final score of 110-4. Challenging but somehow did not feel quite enough unless we bowled and fielded well.
Ella (4-1-18-1)and Pubudika (4-0-17-0) opened the bowling for BPG and kept things tight for the first 2 overs. Ella' second over was a liquorice allsorts affair but most importantly she bowled a cracking ball to dismiss the dangerous Ealing captain Hannah. Abi (4-0-23-1) replaced Ella to bowl the other opener. Cerys (3-0-20-1) forced the other U15 county player into giving a sharp catch to Lauren and then Abi ran out the Middlx U13 WK pinging the ball into Amelie who did the honours with the gloves. At the other end Ealing's number 3 Sofia continued to find the gaps and despite giving a chance ended up retiring when she reached 30. At the halfway mark we had taken 4 wickets but more worryingly the score was 66 and they only required another 45.
After the break Millie (2-0-10-2), Phoebe(3-0-8-1) and Ella put a bit of a break on the Ealing scoring helped by tighter fielding and Glady (in her first league game for BPG), Priya and Pubudika patrolling the boundaries. Wickets fell. Run outs for Lauren and Cerys. Another catch for Lauren off Phoebe's bowling. Millie's tight bowling picking up 2 wickets at the other end. However this meant Ealing were 9 wickets down allowing the dangerous Sofia back to the crease. With 3 overs left they needed 16.
These last overs were entrusted to Pubudika and Abi . Pubudika's first was right on the money and conceded only 3 runs. 12 off 2. Abi's first 4 balls were on the spot but after taking a fierce drive from Sophia on the ankle a 4 came off the 5th ball. 8 were needed off the last over and the tension was high. Dot ball but then a 4 as Sophia turned the ball behind square. Another dot ball and then a single. Sophia off strike and 3 needed. Dot ball and 3 needed off the last ball. Nearly all the fielders were on the boundary as the ball was run down between point and third man. They ran one and turned for 2 as Abi raced off the boundary and threw to Amelie who triumphantly broke the stumps with their last player 2 yards short. Q mass celebration and your umpire and reporters blood pressure finally returned to something close to normal!
Well done to Sophia from Ealing who finished the match with an excellent 41 not out and almost took her side to victory. Congratulations though to all the girls. Everyone played their part and contributed to an excellent win and a great game which will long be remembered. One league match to go putting us in a strong position to win the West area league.
Thanks to Jacqs and Bob for mastering the scoring and James Grigg and Ealing who, as usual, were excellent hosts and provided a tight and competitive game.


We are living in a time where [tweet_dis]many boys are searching desperately for an identity[/tweet_dis]. They lack guidance and direction. They are searching for who they are, and usually looking in the wrong places; often, they aspire to be like popular athletes, entertainers, reality TV stars and other influences, and many of them are negative role models.
More than anyone, fathers and father figures need to be those positive role models that boys can identify with and emulate. We are in a position to instill a sense of belonging and purpose into those young men in our lives. Boys today need to be taught by their dads the true value of who they are—and affirmed for who they are.
As men, we have worked hard throughout our lives to build a good name for ourselves. Some of us are carrying on a positive legacy that was handed down from our fathers. As dads, it's up to us to help our sons identify with the men who helped to build that positive name, so they can be proud to be a part of such a rich heritage.
Action point: Take your son on a family fact-finding journey where you talk to older male relatives about the history of your family, so he learns more about his heritage and identity.
If our sons can grasp how their name is tied to their reputation, then they should also know that their identity is worth protecting. We have to teach our sons the personal responsibility of protecting their name. No one can protect it for them. They have to recognize its value and guard it, no matter the cost.
Action point: Tell your son a positive example of a family member or friend who was faced with a challenging situation and did something positive or courageous to help protect his identity.
Historically, some men's names became the names of entire nations. Generations of people, for good or bad, have been identified with the character and reputation of a single man. Not all of us will have names that are written about in history books, but our names and reputations do have that kind of lasting power in our families.
Boys today need to know that there is a bigger picture than right now, today. There is a whole lot happening beyond their world that is bigger than just themselves. [tweet_dis]We dads should teach our sons that they have a legacy[/tweet_dis] to accept from those who came before them, and that who they are right now will have an impact on future sons and daughters and grandchildren and so on. Their name is their legacy—a reminder that they are connected to greatness, now and in the future. Their name has lasting worth because they will pass it on to the next generation.
I believe it is our role as fathers to challenge our sons in this area: that they would take the good name we have given to them, protect it as they lead the next generation, and then, having added value to that name, pass it on to the young men who will carry it after them.
From a good name, our sons can build a great nation, following the legacy of strong men who will continue to lead their families and communities.

Warp-knit fabrics
Shuttle-woven fabrics
EUROPIZZI GROUP
In spring 1968, driven by undiminished enthusiasm and sound expertise, the production activities were inaugurated with the dyeing of Rachel and Valenciennes lace types. Meanwhile, the market demand, constantly changed, imposing a corresponding adjustment of the entire textile system. To meet the end consumers' increasingly diversified demands and behaviour (that by then regarded not only the clothing sector but also the fields of furniture, healthcare, sports, industrial applications and leisure, etc.), it was necessary to provide functional, hygienically-safe, aesthetically pleasing and economically advantageous products. It was the genius of Luigi Chiappini, in collaboration with his friends and business partners Italo Pilenga and Renzo Colombo, who anticipated these evolutionary changes, dyeing activities focused on technological and organisational innovation. This was a courageous choice for the small industrial dyeing company that would have influenced every single decision from that moment onwards. Therefore, other types of product and fibres were introduced: polyamide-fibre (nylon) warp-knit fabrics (velveteen, charmeuse, shirt fabrics), polyester, acetates and triacetates, cotton, artificial and acrylic fibres and then, shortly after, circular-knit fabrics.
In 1977, a new dyeing department was designed and put into operation, in which warp and weft textile items in cotton/linen, viscose rayon and acetate, nylon/cotton, polyester/cotton for the furnishing, clothing sectors and for the most diverse applications; during the same period, by applying the solutions provided by Information Technology to its systems, Europizzi S.r.l. has succeeded in managing processing operations in accordance with the criteria of flexibility and rapidity. The need to have the utmost flexibility in accepting several work orders and to meet them with the perfect qualitative correspondence has brought our company to be structured as per type of item and processing operation.
In 1988, the Textile Auxiliary Division was established. This choice was taken to create and make the most of opportunities of synergy with other dyeing and printing departments from which important elements have been taken to achieve the improvement of products used at that time. Here the fundamental components for dyeing, printing and finishing operations were made, used in textile ennobling processes. To these types of operation, new product lines to be used in the construction industry, waste water treatment, additives for the plastic industry were gradually added.
Currently, Europizzi S.r.l. Textile Auxiliary Division collaborates with important research centres and leading companies within the chemical-textile sector in various innovative projects. The last in chronological order is within the 7th framework programme of the European Company and has, as its objective, the use of nanotechnologies for the improvement of the fire-retardant treatment of cotton and polyester. The Europizzi S.r.l. Textile Auxiliary Division can provide complete plant-engineering/production know-how relating to the following production lines.
Currently, Europizzi S.r.l. has 110 employees and covers and indoor surface area of 36,000 m2. The production is mostly destined for the European market through national customers that are regular exporters.

Newcomer Strick has just shy of 100 followers to his name, but a boost is sure to come with his newest record 100 Degrees. It features the one and only Young Thug, and I'm interested to know how they linked up.
Before the drop Strick had only released 1 record, and while strong, it wasn't completely polished. 100 Degrees will push him into stardom, and not just off the feature. It's hard to argue this after a full listen. This is one of Thug's best collaborations, as both have a similar style in ad-libs, vocals, and the aggressive approach to the beat. The song quite literally feels like a burning flame that turns into a full on fire.
Thug has contributed excellent verses on a host of records from the likes of Meek Mill, Chance the Rapper, and The Weeknd. He's continued his hot streak on 100, and may have found his worthiest contender.

Holidays are a time for celebration, honoring and building community. From a sociological perspective, holidays serve as opportunities to increase social bonds and to give people time off work, leading to better health, wellbeing and happiness. For many people who are members at membership-based businesses such as martial arts schools, one of the things they may look forward to doing is attending a class during a holiday.
So how do we balance wellbeing for you and your staff members, while keeping your students happy and coming back for more? Here we break down the different factors you should think about to decide whether your martial arts school should celebrate holidays or not.
To decide whether you teach classes during holidays or not, you really have to look at the purpose and function of holidays. While Christmas and New Year's may create the biggest holiday period of the year, many of the other holidays we celebrate go towards honoring legacies like Martin Luther King Jr Day or Memorial Day, for example, or religious holidays like Easter or many other cultural practices. Holidays serve as an opportunity to build connections with your immediate and extended circles and that includes the other members of your martial arts school.
One big function of holidays, however, is for people to get a break from work. By staying open, you are able to please your members but your staff may not love the fact that they have to work. Another aspect to think about is the increase in pay you need to offer your staff for working on statutory holidays.
To learn more about holidays, check out this book by Amitai Etzioni and Jared Bloom, called We Are What We Celebrate. They discuss the "important role such celebrations play in maintaining a moral order as well as in cementing family bonds, building community relations and creating national identity".
Celebrating holidays with your martial arts school members is a great way to build community within your school and really develop that family-based culture successful martial arts schools have. Hosting thematic events for certain holidays can be a great source of referrals, especially if you encourage your members to bring friends along.
For example, during Christmas time, a secret Santa game can do wonders for your members, while helping them get to know someone else a bit better. Just make sure you set the price limit low, to make it accessible and affordable and to emphasize thoughtful gifts, rather than expensive ones. Have low entry fees during the holidays can also entice friends, family and other potential students to join drop-ins or purchase memberships during this period.
Some schools don't have long hours for their instructors, while others may be more of a fulltime job. Different instructors and staff members may also have differing opinions on wanting to work on holidays or not. If your instructors don't have a heavy workload, they might want to teach during holidays and some instructors just want to work as much as possible, no matter how time much they are already spending at the dojo. Feel it out and see how your staff feels about holidays. It just might make the decision for you. As many holidays are also geared towards family, school owners and managers are highly encouraged to get involved.
At the end of the day, you want the best of both worlds. Picking and choosing different holidays to stay open and closed might work out really well for your martial arts school. Pick the ones that are best at building community. Attending a Memorial Day or Remembrance Day event as a school is a great way to teach the importance of respect to your students. A food drive or setting up a food station for people in need in your community can show your students the importance of giving back to the community. Pick and choose, to maximize your staff getting a rest, you boosting your community, and to keep your students happy.

Tempus Incorporates OncoKB Data and NCCN Guidelines Into Its Clinical Reports
Tempus is integrating information from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's OncoKB database and NCCN Guidelines into its clinical reports, providing physicians robust, well-vetted guidelines at their fingertips
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tempus, a leader in artificial intelligence and precision medicine, today announced that it will incorporate data from both the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) OncoKB database and National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®)'s Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) into its clinical reports. Tempus is collaborating with two of the world's largest clinical decision-support resources to support the genomic foundational science and clinical applications of its xT assay.
Tempus reports will reflect therapy choices based on molecular profile and corresponding NCCN Guidelines® recommendations and information from the OncoKB database, therefore making it easier for physicians to optimize treatment plans for their patients. Tempus is also the largest genomic sequencing company to incorporate the OncoKB database, which recently received partial recognition by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) as the first tumor mutation database to be included in the Public Human Genetic Variant Databases.
"We are combining and curating two of the most robust oncology resources in the world and delivering them to physicians through the lens of their patients' specific molecular and clinical profiles," said Kimberly Blackwell, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Tempus. "This initiative is a step towards making our diagnostics even smarter and making personalized care achievable for every patient facing cancer."
The OncoKB database features detailed information regarding specific alterations in 682 cancer genes, curated from various sources, including FDA drug labels, medical professional group guidelines, medical and scientific literature, and clinical trial eligibility criteria. The FDA recognized a portion of the OncoKB database as a source of valid scientific evidence and mapped the selection of cancer mutations to FDA Level 2 (clinical significance) and FDA Level 3 (potential clinical significance).
"OncoKB channels the clinical and scientific expertise of MSK physician-scientists into a structured database that provides information about the biologic and therapeutic implications of cancer-specific alterations," said Debyani Chakravarty, PhD, Lead Scientist, OncoKB and Assistant Attending, Department of Pathology at MSK.
The NCCN Guidelines are a comprehensive, continuously-updated set of guidelines detailing the sequential management decisions and interventions that currently apply to 97 percent of cancers affecting patients in the United States. Specific NCCN Guidelines have also been developed for cancer screening and prevention, therapeutic management, supportive care issues, and specific populations. The NCCN Guidelines are intended to assist all individuals who impact decision-making in cancer care including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, payers, patients and their families, and many others.
"This collaboration with Tempus will help us share the frequently-updated, evidence and expert consensus-based recommendations in the NCCN Guidelines more seamlessly with healthcare providers," said Robert W. Carlson, MD, Chief Executive Officer, NCCN. "We are happy to be working with this precision medicine technology company to place important cancer decision support tools at the point-of-care, ultimately benefiting patients."

--LHP Tyler Matzek got the start on Wednesday in the series finale against the Nationals. He was not involved in the decision as he was lifted with one out in the seventh with the score 3-3. "He was about at his ceiling" after throwing 95 pitches, manager Walt Weiss said of Matzek.
--LHP Franklin Morales will start on Thursday in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. He is 17-22 in his career with an ERA of 4.68.
--1B Justin Morneau had three hits Monday against the Nationals and had two more Wednesday to finish with six hits in the series. But most of hits in the series went to waste -- once again Wednesday he did not score or drive in a run.
--SS Troy Tulowitzki did not start Tuesday as he was given a night off, according to manager Walt Weiss. He was back in the starting lineup Wednesday and helped make two double days in the first two innings. Second baseman DJ LeMahieu flipped him the ball with his glove and Tulowitzki turned and threw the ball to first for a highlight-reel double play. "One of the best double plays I have seen this year," said Weiss, a former major league shortstop.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "It was a breaking ball. Desi got the barrel on it. Those are the ones we have to put away." -- Rockies manager Walt Weiss on the homer by Nationals SS Ian Desmond in a 4-3 loss on Wednesday.
--LHP Brett Anderson (broken left index finger) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 13, and he was transferred to the 60-day DL on April 25.

City Of WeHo Celebrates Disabilities Awareness Month
Photo: dodoe.edu
The City of West Hollywood and its Disabilities Advisory Board are hosting two events to recognize Disabilities Awareness Month, which takes place in October each year.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA is landmark civil rights legislation that works to increase access and opportunity for people with disabilities across society, including in the workplace.
The first event will be held on Wednesday, October 28, 2020 at 6 p.m. The City will virtually host its 22nd Annual Disability Service Awards.
This year, the Disability Service Awards will honor essential workers who support people with disabilities during the Corona-virus (COVID-19) pandemic. Members of the West Hollywood community are encouraged to nominate individual workers or groups of individuals for a Disability Service Award. Essential workers are those who conduct a range of operations and services that are typically essential to continue critical infrastructure operations. The essential workforce includes but is not limited to workers in: healthcare and public health; critical retail; transportation; childcare; critical trades; and nonprofits and social service organizations.
On Thursday, October 29, 2020 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. the City will host an outdoor flu vaccination clinic at the Plummer Park Community Center, located at 7377 Santa Monica Boulevard. This free flu vaccination clinic for adults is provided by Cedars-Sinai Community Health Improvement in partnership with the City of West Hollywood. Getting an annual flu shot is one of the most effective ways to protect oneself and the community against the flu.
Nurses from Cedars-Sinai will conduct screenings and temperature checks before participants are allowed to receive a vaccination. City staff and Cedars-Sinai nurses will ensure social (physical) distancing protocols are followed. Nurses will have full PPE and require participants to wear a face covering. Face coverings will be offered to those who do not have them. Participants are asked to stay home if experiencing signs of illness or not feeling well.
The City of West Hollywood's Disabilities Advisory Board was created in 1995 and has nine members. The Disabilities Advisory Board addresses issues affecting people with disabilities, including ADA compliance, transportation, housing, access to City government and services for people with disabilities, and makes recommendations to the West Hollywood City Council relative to the adoption of programs, policies, or ordinances of benefit to the constituency.
To view the 22nd Annual Disability Service Awards will visit the WeHoTV website link: www.weho.org/wehotv.
Television broadcasts are available within the City of West Hollywood's boundaries on Spectrum Cable Channel 10. In addition, programming may be viewed using streaming platforms by searching "WeHoTV" within the search functions of AppleTV, Amazon FireTV, AndroidTV, and Roku services. It will also be available live and for replay at the City's WeHoTV YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/wehotv.

Culture | Outta my dreams, into my car
The audacious "Titane" wins the top prize at Cannes Film Festival
Julia Ducournau's film is bloody, strange and experimental—unlike most Palme d'Or winners
AT THE CANNES Film Festival in 2019—the last edition before the pandemic struck—the winner of the Palme d'Or came as no surprise. Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite" seemed destined to win the top prize from the moment the credits rolled and the audience offered a five-minute-long standing ovation; the reviews were rapturous. This year there was no outright frontrunner. Of the 24 films in the main competition, Ryusuke Hamaguchi's "Drive My Car", adapted from a short story by Haruki Murakami, received the most positive reviews. Asghar Farhadi's "A Hero" seemed to be the sensible, uncontentious pick, in that it was a cleverly constructed, socially conscious satire from a much-loved Iranian writer-director. But on July 17th, when the jury announced that Julia Ducournau had prevailed for her unheralded film "Titane", it immediately felt like the correct decision.
One reason its triumph went down so well was that "Titane" was directed (and written) by a woman. Previously, the only woman to win a Palme d'Or was Jane Campion, for "The Piano" in 1993. The fact that Ms Ducournau should have become the second woman ever to win that prize in the same year that Chloé Zhao became the second woman ever to win the Academy Award for Best Director put a sizeable crack in the glass ceiling.
The other reason Ms Ducournau's victory was so welcome has nothing to do with her gender. The Palme d'Or doesn't usually go to experimental or controversial work: it tends to go to thoughtful, politically engaged dramas made by directors such as Ken Loach (who has won twice, most recently in 2016) or Michael Haneke (who has also won twice, in 2009 and 2012). They are so well established that the win has little impact on their careers. In contrast, "Titane" is only Ms Ducournau's second feature film. Her debut, "Raw" (2016), was a coming-of-age horror movie about a vegetarian veterinary student who develops a taste for human flesh. Her febrile follow-up is even more shocking.
The film's anti-heroine, Alexia (Agathe Rousselle), is a tough, taciturn, heavily tattooed and scarred young woman who makes a living by dancing for the lecherous patrons at motor shows. She is well qualified for the job because she has had an erotic obsession with cars ever since she was injured in a crash as a child, and had a titanium plate slotted into her skull. What is even weirder is that cars reciprocate her feelings. When she sprawls on the back seat of a Cadillac one night, the vehicle jerks and bucks around in apparent excitement, and the next day Alexia discovers that she is pregnant with something oily and metallic. It is typical of the surreal mood created by Ms Ducournau that Alexia is irritated, but not especially astonished, by this pregnancy.
"Titane" only gets more jaw-dropping from there. Accompanied by dance music that sounds like an industrial drill, and low choral chanting that would be perfect for a Satanic mass, the film transforms from an eerie cyberpunk fable to a gruesome black comedy about a sprightly serial killer, to a twisted but tender fairy-tale in which a hulking fire chief (Vincent Lindon) treats Alexia as his long-lost son. Scene by scene, the dark narrative flows with a kind of logic, but it is impossible to guess where it is going.
It is also difficult to say what it all means, which sets "Titane" apart from those films at Cannes that had a clear political agenda. There is some warmth to the story of two damaged loners learning to trust each other, and there are frequent sparks of deadpan humour, but in general "Titane" is the cinematic equivalent of a long, disturbing, gore-drenched, sweat-soaked nightmare. Whether or not it makes sense, you can't forget it.
When the film was first screened, it seemed inevitable it would be classed as a curio that would attract a cult following of extreme-cinema aficionados. So it was a thrilling upset when the festival jury, led by Spike Lee, awarded it the Palme d'Or. Even those critics who weren't fans of "Titane" admitted that this was an audacious and mischievous move. Mr Lee and his fellow jurors had delivered a provocative rejection of safe and respectable movie-making, a declaration that the venerable festival itself could still learn new tricks, and a life-changing boost for the talented and imaginative Ms Ducournau. Not many people at Cannes had expected it, but in retrospect, any other choice would have been a disappointment.

Jan.30 (GMM) The saga about Force India's apparent financial troubles is continuing.
Luis Vasconcelos, an experienced correspondent writing for Finnish newspaper Turun Sanomat, now claims a young driver from Russia is at the centre of the Silverstone based team's absence from the Jerez test.
"According to our sources," he claimed, "the Jerez plans collapsed when Sergey Sirotkin's promised sponsorship money did not arrive."
19-year-old Sirotkin was once part of the so-called 'Russian rescue deal' at Sauber, another struggling midfield team.
"The contract with Sauber was annulled and Sirotkin was to become this year's reserve driver at Force India, including participation in the winter tests and seven Friday morning practice sessions.
"When the money did not come in time, Force India withdrew entirely from Jerez," Vasconcelos added.

Attorney General James Launches Protect Our Homes Initiative to Combat Deed Theft

Yvette Clarke, Assemblywoman Diana Richardson, NYC Councilwoman Alicka Ampry-Samuel.
Volunteers Go Door-To-Door to Raise Awareness About Homeowner Scams
BROOKLYN – New York Attorney General Letitia James today launched the "Protect Our Homes" initiative with a day of action to inform homeowners in Brooklyn about deed theft and other housing-related scams. Today's efforts are the first step in a campaign of coordinated prevention and enforcement actions to combat deed theft in New York City. In addition, Attorney General James announced the formation of an interagency task force to focus on deed theft and other housing fraud issues.
"Homeownership is the cornerstone of every community, but for decades, longtime homeowners in rapidly gentrifying areas have been the prime targets of schemes to steal their homes," said Attorney General Letitia James. "Deed theft is a heartless crime foisted on people who worked all their lives to achieve a vital piece of the American Dream, only to have that dream become a nightmare. My office is committed to working with our law enforcement and community partners to use a combination of education and enforcement action to help our neighbors protect their homes."
Left to Right: Michael Barbosa – Assistant Attorney General in Charge of Brooklyn Regional Office, Meghan Faux – Chief Deputy Attorney General for Social Justice with AG James.
Deed theft has become a common tool of career criminals and unscrupulous real estate developers to illegally obtain real estate so they can sell it at a huge profit in high-demand housing markets like Brooklyn. This illegal scheme especially affects people of color, the elderly and other vulnerable homeowners who are being scammed into signing over the deeds to their homes to con artists. Deed theft usually happens when scammers forge deeds to look like they purchased the home, or when homeowners are tricked into signing their homes over to a scammer without knowing what they are doing. Scammers then seek to evict the homeowner and sell the house to a third party at a significant profit.
As a kickoff to today's initiative, Attorney General James partnered with the Homeowners Protection Program (HOPP), AARP NY, elected officials and others to send over one hundred volunteers in the neighborhoods of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Prospect Lefferts Gardens and Flatbush. Volunteers knocked on doors and left informational materials about what deed theft entails, how to spot it and what to do if you think you've been a victim.
Attorney General James announced today that her office has created a dedicated complaint process for issues pertaining to deed theft. Those who believe they have experienced deed theft are encouraged to call the help line at 1-800-771-7755, e-mail deedtheft@ag.ny.gov or fill out the online complaint form. Constituent services staff are trained to intake complaints, do initial research and make referrals as needed.
The Office of the Attorney General is also developing a program to educate faith leaders, senior center workers, home health aides and others who regularly engage with potential victims of deed theft so that they can spot the warning signs of deed theft, report these scams and connect the homeowner to trusted service providers.
"IMPACCT Brooklyn is a proud and active member of the Homeowner Protection Program known as HOPP, sponsored by the Office of the AG," said IMPACCT Brooklyn Executive Director Bernell Grier. "For too many years, homeowners, particularly homeowners in Central Brooklyn, have been targeted by unscrupulous players. They appear as solution providers during a time when a homeowner is most in need of help. This campaign, initiated by AG James, is a heroic and most-needed effort to inform homeowners and provide tools to combat these scam artists and protect perhaps the greatest asset our families possess, our homes. Today starts the campaign to preserve our homes."
New York City received around 3,000 complaints about deed theft between 2014-2019, 45 percent of which came from Brooklyn. The Office of the Attorney General receives 3-4 reports of deed theft a week, predominantly from Brooklyn, Queens, Northern Manhattan and The Bronx. Since 2014, the office has been investigating these issues stemming from complaints from HOPP partners about the rising numbers of deed theft and mortgage rescue scams. On January 8th, 2019, Attorney General James announced the sentencing of Marilyn Sanchez who filed two fraudulent deeds and has active ongoing investigations into other complaints.
"Deed theft is an unconscionable evil striking the heart of Brooklyn depriving hardworking people of the single most important asset any American can hope to have: a home," said Representative Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09). "I will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that all bad actors get the punishment they deserve and victims get the help they need to reclaim their homes, and am proud to be a part of this effort to help support our fellow Brooklynites to ensure that no one falls victim to deed theft again protecting the dream for us all."
"The foreclosure crisis may seem to be over for Main Street, but its lingering effects are still felt in lower- and moderate-income areas and communities of color. Deed theft, deed fraud and mortgage scams nibble at the edges of an already-fraught housing situation for our community, making it more difficult for homeowners to hold on to their property," said Council member Robert E. Cornegy, Jr., Chair of the Housing and Buildings Committee. "After years of work with colleagues, we have been able to enhance protections for homeowners through legislation and program funding, but it is clear there is still more work to be done. I will keep fighting to protect legacy residents and will not allow my neighbors to be taken advantage of by unscrupulous actors."

Use of motorised transport and pathways to childbirth care in health facilities: evidence from the 2018 Nigeria demographic and health survey
Ke-on Avoka, Cephas, Banke-Thomas, Aduragbemi ORCID: 0000-0002-4449-0131, Beňov, Lenka, Radovich, Emma and Campbell, Oona M. R. (2022) Use of motorised transport and pathways to childbirth care in health facilities: evidence from the 2018 Nigeria demographic and health survey. PLOS Global Public Health, 2 (9):e0000868.

In Nigeria, 59% of pregnant women deliver at home, despite evidence about the benefits of childbirth in health facilities. While different modes of transport can be used to access childbirth care, motorised transport guarantees quicker transfer compared to non-motorised forms. Our study uses the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) to describe the pathways to childbirth care and the determinants of using motorised transport to reach this care. The most recent live birth of women 15–49 years within the five years preceding the NDHS were included. The main outcome of the study was the use of motorised transport to childbirth. Explanatory variables were women's socio-demographic characteristics and pregnancy-related factors. Descriptive, crude, and adjusted logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the determinants of use of motorised transport. Overall, 31% of all women in Nigeria used motorised transport to get to their place of childbirth. Among women who delivered in health facilities, 77% used motorised transport; among women referred during childbirth from one facility to another, this was 98%. Among all women, adjusted odds of using motorised transport increased with increasing wealth quintile and educational level. Among women who gave birth in a health facility, there was no difference in the adjusted odds of motorised transport across wealth quintiles or educational status, but higher for women who were referred between health facilities (aOR = 8.87, 95% CI 1.90–41.40). Women who experienced at least one complication of labour/childbirth had higher odds of motorised transport use (aOR = 3.01, 95% CI 2.55–3.55, all women sample). Our study shows that women with higher education and wealth and women travelling to health facilities because of pregnancy complications were more likely to use motorised transport. Obstetric transport interventions targeting particularly vulnerable, less educated, and less privileged pregnant women should bridge the equity gap in accessing childbirth services.

История

Деревня Аннинская впервые упоминается в 1611 году.

В 1614 году деревня была за князем С. Н. Гагариным, а ранее являлась вотчиной И. И. Дмитриева. В 1628 году Аннинская все ещё находится во владении Гагариных. В первой трети XVII века село принадлежит боярину, бывшему в разное время воеводой в Торопце, Белеве, Верхотурье князю С.Н. Гагарину. В первой половине XVIII века усадьбой владел поручик князь П.И. Гагарин, женатый на М.М. Грушецкой (1719-1791). Далее их сын подполручик князь Н.П. Гагарин (1755-до 1800). В середине и второй половине XIX века штабс-капитан Я.В. Секирин (ум. до 1886) и далее его вдова Н.П. Секирина, владевшая усадьбой и в начале XX века.

В 1760 году после построения каменной церкви в честь «Воздвижения Креста Господня» деревня становится селом и именуется Воздвиженское.

22 апреля 1905 года произошли волнение крестьян в имении помещика Б. Тржецака.
В июне 1906 года — вновь массовые выступления крестьян (самовольный покос лугов).

До 1924 года село входило в состав Мишинской (Печерниковской) волости.

В 1929 году село упоминается с двойным названием — Аннино (Воздвиженское). В тот момент в нём проживало 720 человек.
Большинство жителей занималось земледелием, но некоторые осенью уходили в города на заработки.

До муниципальной реформы 2006 года село входило в Мишинский сельский округ.

Этимология
 Название селения произошло от фамилии землевладельца Анненского.
 Старожилы говорят, что по соседству некогда жили две сестры — Марья и Анна. По их именам и стали называться селения — Марьино и Аннино.
 Название селения по имени основательницы починка Анны.

Церковь Воздвижения Креста Господня

Вероятно, деревянная церковь была построена в середине XVII века. Скромный храм простоял до середины XVIII века, а затем пришёл в негодность и был разрушен.

В 1760 году князь Н. П. Гагарин построил каменную 4-xпрестольную церковь. Церковь представляла собой продолговатое здание с алтарным полукружием и колокольней. Внутри было три части — алтарь, средняя часть и трапеза, отделенная каменной аркой. Снаружи и внутри стены были покрыты штукатуркой. На стенах за южным и северным клиросами находились надписи об умерших родственниках князей Гагариных. Над главным престолом была устроена деревянных сень, стоящая на четырёх столбах. Одноярусный иконостас украшен иконами местного письма.

В 1873 году в церкви значились священник и псаломщик.
За церковью числилось 40 га земли, которая сдавалась в аренду и приносила доход.
К тому же Святейший Синод ежегодно отчислял в пользу церкви 150 рублей.

По данным за 1890 год в церкви было 897 православных прихожан.

После революции 1917 года храм был закрыт, разорён и разрушен.

Престолы
 св. Иоанна Богослова (уничтожен в 1795 году).
 св. Димитрия Ростовского (уничтожен в 1795 году).
 св. Николая Чудотворца.

Состав прихода
 с. Аннино.
 д. Марьино

The alternative band Soulwax was founded in Belgium by Stephen and David Dewaele in the mid-1990's, although the band's first two releases (Leave the Story Untold and Much Against Everyone's Advice) did not fare as well as Soulwax's 2004 album, Any Minute Now, which brought the band to the forefront of the European music scene.
Any Minute Now spawned the songs "Any Minute Now," "NY Excuse," and "E Talking," and set the stage for a career which would last for a decade and beyond. Around the same time, Soulwax compiled the soundtrack for the Belgian film Steve + Sky, contributing three original tracks to the album as well. In the following year, Soulwax released the album Nite Versions, followed by: This is Radio Soulwax (2006) and Most of the remixes…. (2007.) The band is noted for its well-known remixes which appear on many of these albums, including: "Muscle Museum" ( Muse); "Requiem for a Hit" (Miss Kittin); "Round Round" (Sugababes); "I Feel You" (Chaka Khan); "Can't Get You Out of My Head" (Kylie Mingogue); "Rebel Rebel" (David Bowie); "Robot Rock" ( Daft Punk); "Dare" (Gorillaz); "Standing in the Way of Control" (The Gossip); "You Wanted a Hit" (LCD Soundsystem); "Sprawl II: (Mountains Beyond Mountains)" ( Arcade Fire); "After You" (Pulp), and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" (Rolling Stones), which was featured in the end credits for the film 21.
Most recently, Soulwax has served as the focus of the documentary film, Part of the Weekend Never Dies, shot during their world tours. In addition, the band currently hosts Radio Soulwax, a popular broadcast which features one twenty-four hour long mix.

So you're coming to London but your budget is more pizza and beer than champagne and Michelin star chefs? No problem – in fact you'll have more fun than the jet set! Here's our guide to a London weekend on a budget.
We've worked on the basis of a two night stay – Friday night to Sunday. Transport costs around the city we've left for you to budget for (because you can walk, hire bikes, use the underground or download the Uber app – the choice is yours) but we'll give you some tips to keep costs down. We've included a basic amount of food and drink allowance but you may want to top that up depending on your own eating / drinking habits!
Hopefully you'll be staying with us at Clink! Not just because of our great value dorm rooms – but also because of our warm welcome and the chance to meet other travellers from around the world. Check our website for our best deals and any special offers. Our two London hostels are both in great central locations close to London's King's Cross/ St Pancras Station, giving you easy access to all of London. If you're visiting London from a Eurozone country, you'll find that the weak pound means that your euros will go a lot further than before!
If your budget is really tight then get to one of the nearby supermarkets (ask the Clink team where to go) and do your own thing in the Clink Guest Kitchen. A bowl of pasta with some sauce shared with friends is as cheap as chips. But there's plenty of cheap and tasty options around Clink too. Maybe you'd rather just forget the cooking and get a pizza! Pizza Union is just up the road from Clink and you can get a margarita for a mere £3.95! For that price, we reckon it's a perfect start to your first night in London.
Order a takeaway and enjoy it at ClashBAR where you can make use of your FREE drink voucher which will have been given to you by our friendly team at reception!
Hosting live rock bands and club nights, this is the place to dance the night away and it's easy to find in the heart of Camden High Street. Drink prices are reasonable (for London!) with a pint of beer coming in at just under £4. Tickets are usually around £8 for gigs unless there's something special happening.
Entry to A Venue = allow £10 but if you're smart it may be less and then the change will buy a beer!
Hopefully you haven't partied too late and you're up in time to enjoy a Clink breakfast!
It's only £1 if you book in advance (or £2 otherwise) so can stock up on a hearty all-you-can-eat breakfast that'll set you up for the day. There's cereal, toast, coffee, juice – eat your fill. OK – it's not a full English, but it's a great way to get fuel up on a budget. If a full English is a must then there are plenty of café's nearby.
Don't linger too long over breakfast … head to reception and join the FREE Clink city walking tour with our partners Sandemans. It's is a great way to start your time in London, meet other travellers and learn a few things from your Clink tour guide. The tour leaves everyday from reception at Clink 78 (10.10am) and Clink 261 (10.20am). Your friendly and knowledgeable guide will collect you from the hostel and show you some of the city's sights. If you like, you can continue exploring with your fellow guests who are likely to be from all over the world – or you can head off on your own adventure. Ask your guide for advice on anything you want to do – they've got great insider tips.
Clink Walking Tour = Free!
After all that walking you'll need some sustenance and what better place than at one of London's fantastic markets? You can spend all of Saturday afternoon at any one of these – eating, wandering and people watching. Best of all, you can really spend as much or as little as you like, perfect for anyone making a trip to London on a budget.
If you're hungry you will find some great cheap eats – just graze as you go! We always head for the street food vendor with the biggest queue ;) All those people can't be wrong, right?
If you're a real food lover then head for the amazing foodie haven that is Borough Market. Take the Northern line on the Underground from Kings Cross and get off at London Bridge. Here you'll find a plethora of cheeses, the best charcuterie, artisan chocolate and baked goods.
Graze on the free samples, from stunning aged gruyere cheese to chocolate to die for – though beware you may be tempted to buy… It does get busy, especially on Saturdays, but it's worth battling the crowds to indulge in this artisan produce. Borough is open Monday to Saturday, except in the lead up to Christmas when they are also open on a Sunday.
If you've thought ahead, maybe you picked something up at the market that you just couldn't resist and brought it back to eat at Clink.
If not, then there's plenty of great places to eat around King's Cross that won't break the bank. One of our old favourites is Sen Viet. Located just across the road from Clink, this quirky little Vietnamese restaurant is a proper gem. Food here is hearty and home cooked and a lot of things on the menu come in at under £10.
You can eat in or take your food back to Clink to enjoy.
Check out our guide to all the best cheap places to eat in King's Cross!
If you're in the mood for partying why not sign up for The Big Night Out Pub Crawl? It does what it says on the tin! Meet your guide at Zoo Too (18 Bear Street, WC2H 7AQ) and head to a selection of quirky London watering holes and some of the biggest bars in the West End, ending at world famous London clubs featuring top DJs and performers. You get to jump the queues and you also get a free shot at five venues and discounted drinks and entry included in the £10 ticket price so it's amazing value.
for a more low key evening, take the tube to The Embankment and have a stroll along the stunning Thames at night time. A trip on the London Eye is great but prices are hefty at around £25 per person, so just soak up the sights and wander over Westminster Bridge with views of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament lit up in splendor.
Sit and have a beer or a glass of wine or a cocktail somewhere along the route and just soak up the night time beauty of London and the river that winds through its heart or just buy a couple of beers from the off-license and sit on a bench by the river!
Fill up again on breakfast before you early birds head out. There are some great free things to do in London on a Sunday. So if you're up with the lark then here's what to do.
London has stunning parks that are a treat for travellers on a budget. Regent's park is super close to Clink and is totally gorgeous! Visit the rose garden, walk along the boating lake or go over one of the charming bridges. You'll find it hard to believe you're in the middle of London! Cycling through the park is great too – see 'Hire a Bike' below.
Other stunning London parks are the famous Hyde Park and the adjacent Green Park and St James' Park. Don't miss a photo opportunity outside Buckingham Palace! If the Queen is in residence the Royal Standard flag will be flying so give her a wave. All London parks are a haven for joggers, walkers and cyclists. Join the throng! They are very beautiful in autumn and winter.
A visit to the park = Free!
If the weather's good you could grab a picnic from the supermarket or let your nose lead you to a street vendor selling something delicious and hang around in the park to munch your way through your goodies.
If the weather's not so good or if you've missed breakfast after a BIG night out then in our opinion there's only one thing to do … head for a hearty traditional Sunday lunch! The Calthorpe Arms a really traditional London pub does a great one for £7.25. The portions are huge and you won't need to eat again today or maybe all week! Have that and a pint and you'll be a happy muncher. Probably best to book though as it's popular!!
Lunch = £12 – or less if you picnic!
Lucky you! You're in one of the world's most cultured cities, with some of the greatest museums and art galleries anywhere on the planet. Incredibly, you can visit nearly all of these for free.
Go to The British Museum (at 92,000 sq m the largest museum in the world) to see Egyptian Mummies and the world famous Rosetta Stone. But don't forget to seek out something different like the rare collection of North Korean poster art. Alternatively, why not check out the Tate Modern for works of art by Savador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Andy Worhol and other famous and less famous artists. There is also the Tate Britain which is home to the Turner Prize nominated works (every 2nd year). Or if science is your thing, why not go to the Science Museum and catch a glimpse of some amazing and often interactive exhibits. Or if you prefer history, then The Imperial War museum is both moving and inspirational.
Trip to Art Gallery or Museum = Free!
Then head back to Clink to pick up your bag and say so long until the next time!
Total Spend for the Weekend = £95!!
Plus your fare for getting to London and to Clink from wherever you are!
There are many ways to lose money quickly in London! Transport is one of them – so give it some thought before you go. You've got options for getting around and here's our advice.
If you're planning to move around London a lot then you're dealing with a big city and the best and cheapest way is an Oyster Travel card. If you're organised get a Visitor Oyster Card before your visit. Otherwise get an Oyster Card when you arrive. You can get them at most stations. Don't buy single tickets – they'll cost you a lot more!
Hire one of hundreds of London's Santander bikes, ride it where you like, then return it to any of the hundreds of docking stations across the city. It costs £2 to access the bikes for 24 hours, and the first 30 minutes of each journey is free. Longer journeys cost £2 for each extra 30 minutes so to keep to your initial £2 just get to your next docking station within 30mins. You hire the bikes at the docking stations using a debit or credit card or download the app Santander Cycles which gives you maps and info on docking stations. So if you want to keep your spend down ensure you stay within your 30min cycle time and head for your destination and the docking station nearest to it.
If you're feeling energetic then walking in London is of course a cost-effective way to get around. A lot of the things we have included in our itinerary are within easy walking distance of Clink so your best friend will be your old comfiest walking boots or shoes. And you'll be doing your bit for the environemnt. You'll see much more than travelling on the underground too! That said, London is a big city so if you're looking to cover a lot of ground then you'll likely need to jump on public transport at some point. Environment!
Download the Uber app which will find you a car and a driver who'll take you where you want to go. Especially if there are two or three of you this can be a great way to travel in London at a reasonable cost. You don't need cash – but you'll need a mobile phone as payment is taken via that from the card you use when you register. You book the Uber when you need it – you'll see where your car is and you'll know the approximate fare in advance. It's safe as all journey's are tracked. London black cabs are expensive. And don't jump into unmarked un-licenced cars.
