Kalitta Charters' N720CK
Kalitta Chaters II has brought in N720CK (c/n 21298), a 727-2B6F/Adv, to handle air cargo duties on behalf of Pacific Air Cargo.
N720CK had been here in 2005 for Pacific Air Cargo to do runs to/from PPG, but was short-lived. In the photo above, this 727 has a Pacific Air Cargo logo near the main entry door. It was originally delivered to Royal Air Maroc as CN-RMP.
Kitty Hawk Aircargo had done some inter-island cargo runs with 727-200Fs in the earlier part of the decade, but left after a brief run as they tried to compete against Aloha Airlines' cargo ops.

N738AL was the first 737-700 delivered to AQ that kicked off their west coast service. It's seen above on the AirService Hawai'i ramp being prepared for the non-stop flight to GYR (as N738AL) that would depart a few hours after I got this shot.

PK-GHX was delivered to Maersk Denmark as OY-MRK in 1992, then onto Deutsche BA as D-ADBB a few months after delivery. It then went onto Frontier Airlines as N310FL from 1999 until 2004. After its time it was Frontier, it was taken up by Sundowner LLC.
It's seen here on a rainy HNL ramp a day after arriving from LAX. It's departure date is scheduled for tomorrow.
Aloha Airlines ... Mahalo Nui Loa!
Over the past couple of years, I was privileged to be invited to Aloha Airlines' functions to capture the event for airliner magazines ... the return of the Funbird, their 60th birthday celebration, Wyland's painting of N748AL, and the leasing of PH-HZO. Over that course of time, I have also met a lot of great people from the front office, maintenance dept., cabin crews and flight crews. You're all good people!

Aircraft Names of Aloha Airlines
Over the years Aloha Airlines had a tradition of naming all of its Boeing 737 fleet honoring Polynesian Navigators and Hawaiian Royalty. Each Aloha Airlines jet proudly wore the name of a significant figure in Hawaiian history or a skilled Polynesian navigator. Naming the aircraft is one way that Aloha perpetuated Hawaii's remarkable history and cultural heritage wherever Aloha flew. Behind the name of every plane, there is a story, a story that Aloha Airlines loved to share.
BOEING 737-700s named after Polynesian navigators
KUAPAKA'A – Aircraft 738 Son of the chief Paka'a and advisor of Keawenui, Kuapaka'a was well known for his sailing and fishing skills. It was said that he had the ability to call upon the winds with the magical wind gourd of La'amaomao so that he could sail swiftly.
MO'IKEHA – Aircraft 739 Mo'ikeha was a famous navigator who traveled by canoe many times between the Hawaiian Islands and Tahiti. His wife Lu'ukia is responsible for originating the lashing that Mo'ikeha incorporated into his canoes, which can still be found on canoes today. His son Kila was also a famed navigator.
KAMOHOALI'I – Aircraft 740 Kamohoali'i is named after the brother of Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess. According to legend, he took the form of a shark to lead Pele and the rest of the family to Hawaii.
'OLOPANA – Aircraft 741 'Olopana was an historic Hawaiian navigator and the brother of another famous navigator, Mo'ikeha, who traveled between the Hawaiian Islands and Tahiti.
HAWAI'I LOA – Aircraft 742 Hawai'i loa is named after a legendary Polynesian navigator believed by some to have been the first to discover Hawaii.
KAHA'I – Aircraft 746 Kaha'i was a royal voyager who made a trip to 'Upolu in Samoa. He returned to Hawaii and landed at Hakip'u with the first breadfruit. He also sailed to the homeland in Kahiki (Tahiti) to locate his aging father, Hema.
KOHOLALELE – Aircraft 748 The name Koholālele ("literally flying or leaping whale") honors the humpback whale, an ancient visitor to Hawaii, considered by Hawaiians to be a kupuna, or elder, in its own right. Koholālele also is a place name for an area along the Hāmākua Coast of the Big Island and the name of a wind that "leaps over the land" like a flying whale. This plane was hand-painted by the artist Wyland on May 7 and 8, 2007.
'AUKELE – Aircraft 751 'Aukele is the Hawaiian name for Aldebaran, a bright red star in the eye of the Taurus. 'Aukele was an ancient hero who made a perilous journey to the underworld to find the "water of life." He also traveled to the sun, moon and stars and became a mythical hero, revered by all navigators.
MAKALI`I - Aircraft PH-HZO Makali`i was a great navigator who sailed with the chief Hawai`iloa to Hawai`i. He settled on Kaua`i and became the ancestor of all common people. His skill at farming was legendary. Makali`i was said to have tied crop foods in a carrying net which he then suspended high up in the sky in case of famine. Makali`i is also the name Hawaiians of old use for the constellation Pleiades.
BOEING 737-200s
KALELEONALANI – Aircraft 808 Queen Emma Kaleleonalani, also known as Queen Emma, was the wife of Alexander Liholiho (Kamehameha IV) and shared the experiences of his reign. She was responsible for the financing and construction of the Queen's Hospital, known today as Queen's Medical Center. In 1860 she was an instrumental figure in allowing the establishment of the first Episcopal Church in Hawaii, St. Andrew's Cathedral. Emma also sponsored the founding of St. Andrew's Priory, a school for girls.
LU`UKIA – Aircraft 810 Lu`ukia traveled with her navigator husband Mo`ikeha and his brother on a voyage to Tahiti. When the brothers began to compete for her, she wrapped her legs with sennit. She told them that the one who figured out the intricate lashing first would be her husband. Mo`ikeha finally came upon the solution and was so intrigued by the lashing that he later used it to make canoes. Canoe men still use this technique and call it Pa`u-o-Lu`ukia, Lu`ukia's lashing.
KING DAVID KALAKAUA – Aircraft 816 (Cargo) Kalakaua became king on February 13, 1874, and began the colorful reign that characterized him as the "Merrie Monarch." He was the first Hawaiian sovereign to visit the United States. His trip to Washington was undertaken to rally support for the long-delayed Reciprocity Treaty sought by the kingdom. A scholar, poet and musician, he promoted the spirit and culture of Hawaii at home and abroad. Following his 1881 trip around the world to visit fellow heads of state, he commissioned construction of Iolani Palace in Honolulu.
KALANIKUPULE – Aircraft 817 (Cargo) Kalanikupule, the son of Maui's ruling chief Kahekili, ruled the island of Oahu in 1795. He is significant in Hawaiian history because he fought a great battle at the summit of Nuuanu Pali to defend Oahu against Kamehameha I. Kalanikupule's death in the Battle of Nuuanu led to Kamehameha's conquest and reign over all the islands.
LIHOLIHO – Aircraft 823 (Funbird) Liholiho was the son of Kamehameha I, the great ruler and unifier of the Hawaiian Islands. Following his father's death, Liholiho overthrew many ancient taboos. During his reign, the island economy flourished due to sandalwood trading and whaling.
KALANI`OPU`U – Aircraft 824 Kalani`opu`u ruled over the Island of Hawaii and the Hana district of Maui during the mid-1700s. He played a part in the incident at Kealakekua Bay in 1779 that led to the death of Captain Cook. When he died, Kalani`opu'u's powerful son was to have succeeded him as king. However, a highly ambitious nephew outmaneuvered the son to the throne. That nephew was Kamehameha I.
KAKUHIHEWA – Aircraft 826 (Cargo) Oahu's most famous chief, Kakuhihewa is poetically called O'ahu a Kakuhihewa. He instilled in his subjects an appreciation for Oahu's arts and culture and preserved many of the beloved crafts of his island.
HOAPILI – Aircraft 828 Born the son of a royal twin, Hoapili was the close companion of Kamehameha I. In 1819, he assisted with the overthrow of the native religion and supported the work of the American missionaries. As Governor of Maui, Molokai and Lanai from 1836 to 1840, he made education for children compulsory. Hoapili was instrumental in persuading his daughter Liliha, then Governor of Oahu, to resume her loyalty to Kamehameha III, thus averting a potential battle between the two.
PAI'EA – Aircraft 834 (Cargo) Also known as Kamehameha the Great, Kamehameha Pai'ea was Hawaii's most famous monarch. A powerful ruler and warrior, he unified all the main islands under one rule. The reign of Kamehameha was marked by peaceful expansion and prosperous trade with foreigners. In 1816 Kamehameha defended the islands against the incursion of Russian forces. He was succeeded as ruler by his two sons and two grandsons. After the Kamehameha family died out, the kings of Hawaii were elected by the people.
MATAIO KEKUANAOA – Aircraft 835 Mataio Kekuanaoa was the punahele, or intimate companion, of Kamehameha II. In 1827, he married Kinau, daughter of Kamehameha I, and later fathered two successive monarchs, Kamehameha IV and Kamehameha V. One of Hawaii's early statesmen, Mataio Kekuanaoa served as Governor of Oahu after Kinau's death in 1839. Later, he served as a member of the House of Nobles, Privy Council and as President of the Board of Education. In 1866, Mark Twain praised Mataio Kekuanaoa as "a man of noble presence... seemingly natural and fitted to the place as if he had been born to it...."
KAUIKEAOULI – Aircraft 836 Kauikeaouli, also known as Kamehameha III, held the throne between 1825 and 1854. His was the longest reign in Hawaiian history. During his rule, The Constitution of 1840 became law, outlining human rights for all residents of the Kingdom. Kauikeaouli instituted major reforms of the taxation system, and reorganized the Executive Branch to include a Minister of Foreign Relations. He also established an independent Judiciary. He is credited with returning the Kingdom to a stable economic base after paying off the national debt, and with setting up the legal basis for land ownership in Hawaii.
KAUMUALI`I – Aircraft 837 Kaumuali`i was the last ruling monarch of Kauai and Niihau. By gathering arms and enlisting foreigners in his defense efforts, he resisted Kamehameha I's attempts to conquer Kauai by force. In 1810 Kaumuali'i peacefully ceded his islands to Kamehameha I to avoid bloodshed. He was among the first Hawaiian rulers to become a Christian and was influential in the spread of Christianity. He was the first monarch to learn to read, write and speak the English language extensively.
LOT KAUPA'IWA – Aircraft 840 (Cargo) Prince Lot Kaupa'iwa was the son of Kina'u, daughter of Kamehameha the Great.
KE`OPUOLANI – Aircraft 841 Ke`opuolani was a powerful chiefess who later became the sacred wife of Kamehameha I, unifier of the Hawaiian Islands. She was the mother of Kamehameha II and Kamehameha III, who ruled in succession following the death of their father. One of the first Hawaiian converts to Christianity, Ke'opuolani was instrumental in abolishing polygamy among her people.
LA`AMAIKAHIKI – Aircraft 842 (Cargo) La`amaikahiki was a respected navigator and chief from Tahiti. He is credited with bringing the first pahu, or Polynesian drums to the Hawaiian Islands. La`amaikahiki's story has been preserved through ancient chant, an important resource for Hawaiian history and culture.
KEKAULIKE – Aircraft 843 Kekaulike was an ancient ruler of Maui who amassed vast lands as a warrior chief. He had several wives including Keku`iapoiwanui. Together they were instrumental in establishing the modern lineage system of Hawaiian monarchy. When Kekaulike died, he decreed that his lands should go to Kamehameha I. This was the start of the Kamehameha dynasty.

Aloha Airlines 1946-2008
Aloha Airlines "The People's Airline" and "The Aloha Airline" is now sadly no more. For 61 years Aloha flew passengers across our island state and across the Pacific with the spirit of Aloha. To my friends at Aloha and there are many, I salute your passion for your company and wish you all Ahui Hou!
From the Honolulu Advertiser - Letter to the Editor
AIRLINE'S LOSS A TRAGEDY FOR HAWAI'I, AVIATION
Make no doubt about it, the loss of Aloha Airlines after 61 years is a tragedy for the people of Hawai'i and for American aviation.
Aloha Airlines and its employees had pride in their airline and took care of the people of Hawai'i and those who came to our island state for so many years.
I feel sad for all those pilots, ramp workers, gate agents, administration staff and other employees who put their heart and soul into Aloha Airlines, and now will have nothing but great memories along with what can now seem like an insurmountable crisis in their own personal lives.
Aloha was the "people's airline," just like Ruddy Tongg, Aloha's founder, once said and that Hung Wo Ching made "The Aloha Airline."
Aloha 'oe, Aloha Airlines. Aloha 'oe.

AQ & ATA Rest In Peace
It seems to be happening way too fast. This was the scene at Aloha's final arrival. Such a sad moment in history. Employees of Aloha all gathered around the last flight were all kind of emotions where exchanged. What my pictures dont show are the other supporters that came out to bid Aloha good bye. On the opposite side of the 732 where the employees of Hawaiian, showing some aloha to there fellow ohana. People from United, Swissport, WFS, Sherrifs, and various other airport staff also came out to witness history. Thank you Aloha for your 61 years of fabulous service.
Tonight a similar story showed again. This time it was ATA's turn to be placed into the pages of history. ATA's last flight nationwide was to take off from Honolulu. Word came down the line as we were servicing N517AT, a 757-200, that this flight would be the last flight of ATA. At first we thought that it was a late April Fool's joke. We soon found out from operations that this was no joke. This was for real. TZ4586 for PHX lifted off around 0030. What a way to see a airline go. I had the privilege of waving off the last ATA flight out of HNL.
ATA was our main contract at night. With them gone now, Im not sure of our employment situation. We also service Air Canada and Air Pacific. Air Canada has reduced flights for this month to five days a week. Air Pacific had two days per week. We where servicing ATA every night. After seeing what Aloha's employees had to go though, I would have never thought that a similar situation hit so close to home so quickly.

Shenzhen Airlines is taking delivery of B-5377 (c/n 35079), a 737-8AL(W). It's seen here taxiing to Runway 8R for its depature to MAJ. The aircraft has a name, unfortunately it's written in Chinese ...
Also, in the background are the Aloha Airlines 737-700Ws parked on Taxiway F.
Aloha Parks Their 737s Around HNL
Aloha Airlines has parked their 737-700s on Taxiway F west of Runway 4L, and south of Taxiway B (above), and some of their 737-200s are parked in the Aloha hangar area (middle) and near Gate 49 of the Makai Pier of the Interisland Terminal (top).
In the photo of the parked -700s, two of those birds have special meaning to me ... N751AL, "'Aukele", was the 73W I rode home from SNA in 2004. Of course, N748AL, "Koholālele", was the 73W I had the honor of photographing the painting process that Wyland worked on.
The four -200s parked by Gate 49 are N824AL, N808AL, N843AL, and N837AL. N808AL was the one 737-200 that was once ETOPS certified and carried the flags of the USA, Marshall Islands, and Micronesia. The four parked at the hangar are N836AL, N828AL, N841AL, and N823AL. Of course, N823AL is the retro livery Funbird.
Mahalo to Ha763 for the -200 photos.

Greece, Cyprus and Israel entered a new era of geostrategic cooperation. Greece and Israel's rich and complicated histories and cultures have seen them associated with all the crucial historical developments in the eastern Mediterranean, Balkan and Middle East regions. The Jewish Zionist movement that was created in the late 19th century by Theodore Herzl had very similar characteristics to the Greek irredentist movement of the "Great Idea". Both nations have triumphed as Diaspora. Both ethnic groups have been occupied by the Ottomans yet still managed to influence the economy of the Ottoman Empire. Both countries are Western-style democracies, allied to the United States and located within a crucial geostrategic region.
From the formation of the state of Israel in 1948 until 1991, the Greek political and social establishments perceived Israel as a major antagonist in the Eastern Mediterranean region. Athens followed a more pro-Arab stance reflecting the strong dependence Greece had upon crude oil from Arab countries. In the 1970s these Arab states imposed an oil embargo on the United States and Western Europe in order to curtail their pro-Israeli stance.
Greek-Israeli diplomatic relations were stagnant for nearly forty-five years. The pro Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) socialist Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou viewed Israel as an American pawn that suppressed the self-determination of the Palestinian people. Under Papandreou's rule, the PLO extensively acted on Greek territory. For example, on July 7, 1982, a Jordanian diplomat was assassinated and another seriously injured in Athens. The notorious terrorist Abu Nidal and his brutal organization found safe haven. Nidal's organization assassinated Cultural Attaché and British Council representative Kenneth Whitty on an Athens street on March 28, 1984.
The first wind of significant change came in 1995, due to several significant factors. Firstly, Greece sought to increase its diplomatic deterrent power vis-à-vis Turkey. Another was the death of Papandreou in June 1996. The improvement and expansion in US-Greek relations under the socialist Prime Minister Kostas Simitis encouraged a shift toward Israel. Developments in the Middle East peace process – such as Israeli-PLO dialogue – also assisted Greek rapprochement with Israel. In September 1998, the then Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak Mordechai denied a request from Turkey that Israel assist Turkish Armed Forces in the event of conflict with Greece. Mordechai's comments that "Turkish-Israeli cooperation is not against any other country" encouraged Greece to enhance its economic relations with Israel.
Improved relations between Greece and Israel resulted in a substantial increase in trade throughout the 1990s. By 2004, Israel was importing $242 million worth of products from Greece, with $142 million going in the opposite direction. Many Israelis chose to visit Greece for summer vacations. The then Israeli President Moshe Katzav declared Greece an important economic partner and a gateway to the Balkans. Improved relations also led to Israel recognizing the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Greece and Cyprus.
The last two years, the Israeli navy is developing strategic plans to protect its own EEZ, home to two large gas fields. The Leviathan field is located eighty miles off Haifa and contains sixteen trillion cubic feet of gas. The other field – known as Tamar – Is situated 30 miles north of Leviathan and contains eight and a half trillion cubic feet of gas. Both fields are located near the border of the Greek and Cypriot EEZs. Accordingly, the IDF is expanding the 7,000-person navy, the smallest of the country's armed services. Priority has gone to acquiring three more Dolphin-class submarines from Germany.
Furthermore, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to improve relations with Greece in order to counterbalance the expansion of Turkey's regional influence. On the Greek side, the socialist Prime Minister George Papandreou aims to assist mediation in peace agreements between Israel and its neighbors to enhance his image as an assertive regional peace negotiator. In addition, Papandreou wants to attract Israeli investment to offset Athens' severe economic problems since 2010; both prime ministers have exchanged state visits to further enhance Greek-Israeli relations. For the Israeli leadership good diplomatic relations with Greece would offer greater strategic depth regarding the gas fields and EEZ exploration. As a member of the European Union (EU) Greece could also contribute to improving Israel's diplomatic, economic and trade relations with the rest of Europe. On military issues the IDF will have the opportunity to train the Greek armed forces in symmetrical and asymmetrical warfare tactics and various counterintelligence and counterterrorism methods.
Military cooperation with Israel may also lead to tangible benefits for the Greek economy and civilian industries. By adopting Israeli defense tactics and purchasing materiel, the Greek Armed Forces may also enhance their status within NATO. For example, Greece will have the opportunity to buy various missile systems and homeland security capabilities. In addition, the Israeli defense industry can upgrade and modernize ageing Greek defense systems.
On December 17, 2010, Israel and Cyprus signed an accord demarcating their maritime borders to facilitate offshore gas exploration. An American company has obtained the rights for this exploration. Turkey tries to undermine the process, because the Turkish government perceives that Israel wants to curtail and undermine the Turkish influence in the south eastern Mediterranean region. On the other side of the Aegean, Athens supports a Greek-Israeli-Cypriot partnership. The Greek government wants to use or even manipulate that new era of friendship in order to counterbalance Ankara's geostrategic influence in the region.
On January 10, 2012, Cyprus and Israel signed two important bilateral military agreements permitting Israel Air Force to utilize airspace and territorial waters around the island to safeguard and protect crucial energy resources and exchange of classified information. Netanyahu was the first Israeli Prime Minister to visit Cyprus on February 16, 2012. The prime ministerial visit strengthened the Israeli-Cypriot diplomatic, military and economic relations.
In spring 2012, United States and Israel invited Greece to join an important military exercise. This annual naval exercise in the eastern Mediterranean Sea codenamed Reliant Mermaid was first established in 1998 and Turkey was the third party to participate. It was cancelled in 2011, when Ankara withdrew. Greece replaced Turkey. The military exercise was renamed Noble Dina and the mission changed from search and rescue to attack and defeat military scenarios, which included aircraft operations, stopping enemy assaults and anti-submarine warfare.
It should be also noted that decades of Greece diplomatically cold-shouldering Israel did not defeat the cultural affinity between Greeks and Israelis, a key factor that is consistently underestimated in discussions about Greek-Israeli bilateral relations. Without a doubt Greek-Israeli diplomatic relations are entering a new period. Domestic and international factors will influence the new era of understanding and friendship among these two old and proud nations.
The recent official visits of the Israeli deputy foreign minister Danny Ayalon and defense minister Ehud Barak in Athens solidify further the new era of cooperation between Greece and Israel. Both pledged to blossom and strengthen diplomatic and military relations among the two nation-states. "We are committed to work together and deepen our relationship". Barak said after talks with his Greek counterpart Dimitris Avramopoulos. Moreover, Barak said ties with Greece "have never been so close". The Obama administration watches closely the growing friendship of Greece and Israel. The American government tries to play the equalizer, because a warm incident in the region emanating from the Arab Spring or Iran can serious destabilize the various American national interests. In addition, Greece, Turkey and Israel are old US allies. Without a doubt, a new era of geostrategic dealings appear in the diplomatic horizon for this troubled and crucial region.
Currently, the Turkish vessel Barbaros, escorted by one war vessel and two support vessels entered Blocks 3 and 9 inside Cyprus EEZ to execute seismic surveys. Barbaros is eleven nautical miles from Cyprus. Both Greece and Cyprus protest the latest violations of international maritime law by Ankara. The Turkish government goal is to have a saying on the regional explorations. Ankara wants to appear as reliable energy global partner. The American government supports that both Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots need to share the gas reserves. If the Greek communist party SYRIZA wins the upcoming elections, his leader Alexis Tzipras promises a different and unclear approach to Greek foreign policy. The future will show the evolution of Greece, Cyprus and Israel relationship and energy cooperation.

But I am not sure about how this affect to the behaviour of my class. Now, in my code, I use to compare two object by reference in this way:
if(myObject1 == myObject2)
{
    // code when both objects are the same.
    // Set values in some properties and do some actions according that.
}
else
{
    // code when both objects are no the same.
    // Set values in some properties and do some actions according that.
}

But in some special cases, mainly in testing, I would like to compare 2 objects and considerate equal if all the properties are equal, but in this case I don't know if it will affect to my main code, in which I am compare by reference.
Another option could be implement a method that compare in this way, but I don't know if it is a good idea or it is better to implement the IEquatable interface.
Thanks.

A: There are several different things going on here.
The first is that IEquatable<T> is not directly related to the == operator. If you implement IEquatable<T>, but you don't override the == operator, then == will continue to do what it currently does: compare your objects by reference.
IEquatable<T> gives you an Equals(T) method, and that's it. By itself, it doesn't affect Equals(object) (which you also need to implement), or == and !=.
So let's assume that you do overload the == operator, to call our Equals method:
public static bool operator ==(Foo left, Foo right) => Equals(left, right);
public static bool operator !=(Foo left, Foo right) => !Equals(left, right);

This has only changed the == operator between two Foo instances. You can still write:
if ((object)myObject1 == (object)myObject2))

and that will fall back to using object's == method, which compares by reference.
Another way to do this is:
if (ReferenceEquals(myObject1, myObject2))

which just does the same thing.

Also note that it's rare to implement IEquatable<T> for classes: there's really no point. Classes already have an Equals(object) method and a GetHashCode() method which you need to override, and adding an Equals(T) method doesn't give you much.
IEquatable<T> is however useful for structs: they also have an Equals(object) method you need to override, but if you actually call it then you're going to end up boxing, since it accepts object. If you implement IEquatable<T> here then you also get an Equals(T) method, which you can call without boxing anything.

All of that said, I would write your code as it's intended to work in your application, and do any testing-specific stuff in your test project. This means that if your objects should be compared by reference in your code, I wouldn't add anything new to the object itself.
In your test project, you can write your own method to check whether two instances of your object have the same properties (either as a custom bool AreFoosEqual(Foo f1, Foo f2), or as a full-blown IEqualityComparer<Foo> instance). You can then make this do exactly what your tests need, without worrying about breaking your application.
You can also write your test method as a series of assertions, which tells you which property is incorrect, and what the difference is. This can give you richer test output:
public static void AssertFoosEquals(Foo f1, Foo f2)
{
    Assert.AreEqual(f1.Foo, f2.Foo, "Foo property mismatch");
    Assert.AreEqual(f1.Bar, f2.Bar, "Bar property mismtach");
}

A: If you want to compare same objects but in different ways, I suggest using a comparer which implements IEqualityComparer<T>:
  public class MyClassTestComparer : IEqualityComparer<MyClass> {
    public bool Equals(MyClass x, MyClass y) {
      if (ReferenceEquals(x, y))
        return true;
      else if (null == x || null == y)
        return false;

      return x.Propery1 == y.Property1 &&
             x.Propery2 == y.Property2 &&
             x.ProperyN == y.PropertyN;
    }

    public int GetHashCode(MyClass obj) {
      return obj == null
        ? 0
        : obj.Propery1.GetHashCode() ^ obj.Propery2.GetHashCode();
    }
  }

then you can choose the right comparer
 public static IEqualityComparer<MyClass> MyClassComparer {
   if (we_should_use_test_comparer)
     return new MyClassTestComparer();
   else
     return EqualityComparer<MyClass>.Default;
 }

Finally if will be
 if (MyClassComparer.Equals(myObject1, myObject2)) {
   // Equals: by reference or by properties (in test)
 }

A: When you make a unit test ->
Like:
public void TestSomething()
{
     var expectedValue1 = "SomeExpectedValue";

     var actualValue = instance.Method();

     Assert.Equal(expectedValue1, actualValue);

}

Then you "simply" assert the properties you want to look at, if you return an object and not a value:
public void TestSomething()
{
     var expectedValue1 = "SomeExpectedValue";

     TestableObject subject = instance.Method();

     Assert.Equal(expectedValue1, subject.Somevalue);
}

If you want a more generic setup, you can write a reflection using generic flow, that looks at all properties on an object and attempts to match them to the another provided object.
Or you could download a nuget package of tools that already allow you to do this.
I would not override any functionality, simply for the purpose of testing. That way lies spaghetti code.
Ideally your code should be 100% verifiable by unit tests, without having specific code sections that augment or assist your testing methods. (Unless said code is restricted to the test project itself, and is not contained within any of the actual code being tested.

Jon Zazula, Early Promoter of Heavy Metallic, Dies at 69
Jon Zazula, who along with his spouse, Marsha, based Megaforce Information and was an vital determine within the emergence of heavy steel music, giving Metallica, Anthrax and different bands their begin, died on Tuesday at his dwelling in Clermont, Fla. He was 69.
Maria Ferrero, the couple's first worker on the label and later the founding father of Adrenaline PR, which focuses on selling steel bands, stated the trigger was persistent inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, a neurological situation. Marsha Zazula died in January of last year at 68.
Metallica memorialized Mr. Zazula in posts on its Twitter feed.
"In 1982, when nobody needed to take an opportunity on 4 youngsters from California enjoying a loopy model of steel, Jonny and Marsha did, and the remainder, as they are saying, is historical past," the band stated.
At the moment, the Zazulas have been attempting to make a couple of dollars promoting data from their assortment of hard-to-find albums and film discs at a flea market in East Brunswick, N.J. Their inventory was heavy on steel, and their cubbyhole retailer, Rock N Roll Heaven, grew to become a gathering spot for metalheads. At their prospects' urging, they began a D.I.Y. concert-promoting enterprise to current among the bands whose music they have been promoting; their first live performance, in 1982, featured the Canadian band Anvil and drew virtually 2,000 individuals.
Sooner or later somebody introduced them a demo tape by an unknown West Coast band, Metallica. The Zazulas appreciated what they heard, a lot in order that they contacted the members of the group and urged them to return east and play a couple of exhibits. Quickly that they had shaped Megaforce, which launched Metallica's first two albums, "Kill 'em All" in 1983 and "Journey the Lightning" in 1984.
Megaforce additionally launched the primary albums by Anthrax ("Fistful of Metallic," 1984), Testomony ("The Legacy," 1987) and others.
Heavy steel was simply starting to take maintain in the USA when the Zazulas grew to become concerned, and it was generally dismissed as mere noise. However in a 1983 interview with The Courier-Information of Bridgewater, N.J., Mr. Zazula defined the attraction.
"It's music that's pure emotion," he stated. "Heavy steel is super-talent at breakneck pace."
The music, he stated, was destined to endure.
"New wave music modifications each week," he stated. "Metallic offers the individuals one thing they will depend on."
Jon and Marsha Zazula backstage at a Monsters of Rock live performance in about 1990.Credit score…Gene Ambo
Jonathan David Zazula was born on March 16, 1952, within the Bronx. His father, Norman, was a delivery clerk, and his mom, Helen (Risch) Zazula, was recreation director at a nursing dwelling.
He grew up within the Eastchester Gardens complicated within the Bronx and attended Lehman School. He married Lisa Weber in 1972, however the marriage resulted in divorce. In 1979 he married Marsha Jean Rutenberg.
He was working in monetary planning and he or she in advertising and marketing after they left New York in 1980 and settled in Previous Bridge, N.J. His finance profession got here to an finish the subsequent yr when the corporate he labored for, which traded in metals, was raided by the authorities and everybody there was charged with fraud, accused of passing off scrap steel because the uncommon steel tantalum. Mr. Zazula served six months in a midway home in Newark, and he and his spouse started promoting on the flea market throughout that point to attempt to make ends meet.
"That's how we began Rock N Roll Heaven," he stated in an interview for "Moguls and Madmen: The Pursuit of Energy in Widespread Music," a 1994 ebook by Jory Farr. "Out of that pit of hell got here all that we did."
Their fledgling concert-promotion enterprise — Crazed Administration was their firm's title — was very hands-on; they personally plastered phone poles with fliers, and band members typically crashed at their home.
"I keep in mind we needed to promote each membership we labored in on the concept of presenting an authentic heavy-metal present," Mr. Zazula, recalling the early years, informed The House Information of New Brunswick, N.J., in 1988. "In these days all of the golf equipment needed cowl bands."
Creating Megaforce Information, he stated, was a fallback, after the couple had made some extra demos with Metallica and tried to curiosity current labels.
"They thought we have been loopy," he informed The Courier-Information in 1987. "'What sort of music is that this?' And we have been pressured to begin our personal document firm to advertise Metallica."
Bands given their begin by Megaforce tended to maneuver to extra mainstream labels as soon as they made it massive; after its first two albums, Metallica signed with Elektra.
The couple bought their stake in Megaforce in 2001, though Mr. Zazula continued to advertise an occasional live performance till retiring in 2018.
Mr. Zazula is survived by three daughters, Danielle Zazula, Rikki Zazula and Blaire Zazula Brewer; two brothers, Evan and Robert; and 5 grandchildren.

Roadwar Europa è un videogioco strategico a turni pubblicato nel 1987 per i computer Amiga, Apple II, Atari ST, Commodore 64 e MS-DOS dalla Strategic Simulations. È il seguito di Roadwar 2000 del 1986 e differisce poco dal predecessore, a parte lo scenario che in questo caso è l'Europa anziché gli Stati Uniti, nelle stesse condizioni di imbarbarimento postapocalittico.

Trama
Nel XXI secolo l'Europa si trova in uno stato di parziale devastazione in seguito a una guerra biologica, e sul territorio si possono incontrare bande armate e mutanti. In questo scenario, i terroristi hanno appena distrutto una città europea con un ordigno nucleare nascosto e minacciano di distruggerne altre cinque imprecisate. Le Nazioni Unite inviano un gruppo di esperti combattenti di strada, dotati di veicoli civili modificati e armi leggere, per attraversare il continente, trovare e disinnescare le bombe, e infine attaccare il quartier generale dei terroristi.

Modalità di gioco
In una nuova partita si deve anzitutto definire in dettaglio la propria banda, oppure riutilizzare una precedente banda di Roadwar 2000 salvata su disco. Tramite menù di testo si definiscono i veicoli, l'equipaggio e i rifornimenti, spendendo punti separati per le tre cose. I veicoli iniziali sono fino a 6, scelti tra 19 modelli che vanno da moto a camion e mezzi da lavoro. Ciascuno ha molte caratteristiche relative a capienza, guida e combattimento, ulteriormente modificabili per ogni veicolo. I membri dell'equipaggio sono di 5 tipi corrispondenti a diversi gradi di addestramento. I rifornimenti sono cibo, gomme, armi, carburante e medicine.

La schermata di gioco mostra quindi una mappa dell'Europa nei dintorni della posizione attuale della banda del giocatore. La mappa è composta da caselle ideali e la banda si muove come pedina unica nelle otto direzioni, tenendo conto di strade e tipi di terreno. Nelle versioni Amiga, Atari ST e Commodore 64 lo schermo è diviso verticalmente e sulla destra si vedono direttamente anche molte informazioni sullo stato della banda. Su Amiga e Atari ST si hanno quattro menù a tendina per i comandi particolari, nelle altre versioni si utilizza la tastiera. Ogni spostamento o altra azione consuma ore del giorno. La mappa dell'intera area di gioco è disponibile solo su carta nelle edizioni originali.

Sul territorio si possono fare incontri con altri gruppi, ostili o meno, non visibili sulla mappa. Le città sono visibili e quando raggiunte vi si può mandare in esplorazione una selezione dei propri uomini, per cercare di capire chi la controlla e disinnescare l'eventuale bomba. Soprattutto in città si possono fare ricerche di nuovi veicoli, persone e rifornimenti. Se si riescono a contattare agenti alleati si possono ottenere indizi sulle posizioni delle bombe. Gruppi di persone con diverse capacità possono offrirsi di unirsi alla banda. Ci sono anche personaggi speciali non disponibili all'inizio: medici, istruttori militari e politici (per le capacità diplomatiche).

In caso di combattimento tra bande motorizzate si può scegliere anzitutto la disposizione di uomini e armi nei veicoli automatica o manuale. Quindi si può scegliere tra combattimento calcolato in automatico oppure giocato in dettaglio dal giocatore. Nel secondo caso può essere veloce, con regole semplificate e impostazione di alcuni parametri, oppure tattico completo. Il combattimento tattico mostra ogni singolo veicolo su una mappa locale e si controlla a turno ogni mossa, con regole complesse per la guida e per fare fuoco con le armi dei passeggeri. Si possono anche speronare e abbordare i veicoli avversari. La sconfitta determina il game over, la vittoria permette di impadronirsi di nuovi veicoli, rifornimenti, persone e ottenere promozioni per le persone esistenti.

Accoglienza
All'epoca dell'uscita Roadwar Europa ricevette buone recensioni ad esempio dalle riviste Commodore Magazine (Amiga), Antic (Atari ST) e Game Mag (Amiga/Atari ST), e giudizi più intorno alla sufficienza da Aktueller Software Markt (Atari ST) e Génération 4 (Atari ST), che tra i vari problemi segnalavano la troppa somiglianza con il precedente Roadwar 2000.

3.0 out of 5 starsInteresting series, horribly annoying narrator.
Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase
From a historical standpoint, this is an interesting series. That said, the narrator is enough to drive someone batty. He has the weirdest pauses in his speech, it's like listening to a computerized voice with no idea of how punctuation works or what words are supposed to sound like.

2.0 out of 5 starsI really wanted to like this, but . . .
The stories are actually good, just like the podcast. However, the horrible narration is just too distracting to the story. I want to like this, but can't enjoy the jerky cadence of the narrator and his voice is not at all spooky or even emotive - just annoying. I made it through a whole episode and it was visually stunning. The voice over does not go throughout the whole thing - it does stop for some of the story to be told with actors recreating the narrative - which is why I gave it more than one star. That said, it does continue between these scenes, causing them to lose any effectiveness. I'm not sure I enjoy it enough to keep trying to get through the whole series. If they get a new voice over artist, then maybe I will try again.

3.0 out of 5 starsFirst season, first two episodes hits peak, not much after.
I had high hopes for this series. The first two episodes were excellent and I was intrigued and interested the entire time. Episode 3 was almost like a joke. The acting was horrible, so horrible that I lost interest in the story. Episodes 4 and 5 were even more boring and could have used a lot more of the narrator and less acting. Plus the quality of the stories seemed to really degrade. Episode 6 was a little more interesting, but overall I wasn't left with a really great feeling towards further episodes. Season 2 should be coming out soon I believe and I'm not sure if I will watch them because it feels like this series peaked after the first two episodes.
3.0 out of 5 starsLove the IDEA of the show
Love the IDEA of the show, what it presents and even how it presents it. I cant however stand the issue of the narration being so broken. I understand that it was originally a podcast, and the sound editing was not well done, but you would think that Amazon would be even a little effort into cleaning this up.
3.0 out of 5 starsMahnke is always weird but it's okay I guess.
I've listened to the podcast for a long time. I like the research and I like being spooked. However, Mahnke has ALWAYS been a weirdo. In the podcast he really overuses "you see...." and he loves a weird pause. The acting in the show could be better. I love Holland Roden so I liked seeing her in a new role. I watched the whole thing because I was avoiding other tasks and I couldn't get netflix and hulu on the wifi I was using. Would I watch this if I had other things to watch? No. Is it like the podcast but with less detail? Yes. Strange that they adapted it, feel like everything they covered was already on the podcast. Seems like this didn't need to be made.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat show and loves the stories but would be so much better with a better narrator.
I really love the show and the stories but they really should have used a different narrator. I know it the guy from the original pod cast and I feel like his voice works fine on a pod cast but not a narrator over a something you are watching, it just not fluid and kind of annoying to listen too. I almost didn't watch the show at all because of how he tells the story, it like someone who can't read a script. Great show and loves the stories but would be so much better with a better narrator.
2.0 out of 5 starsMeh
I stopped listening to this podcast because I couldn't stand the cliched language and poorly edited, repetitive sentences. Someone has cleaned up Mahnke's prose but this is little more than a podcast with images and bad actors added. And it's annoying and amateurish to be watching action supposedly happening in June, like at the beginning of episode 3, with an obviously fall setting. That said, I'm hoping Mahnke has learned from being edited and I'm going to give his podcast a try again. The history is fascinating, the storytelling compelling but the visuals are meh.

5.0 out of 5 starsTrue Stories of Horror. 10/10
This is an amazing documentary series for any horror/mystery fan! The best part is that they are all true stories and every episode usually has 2-3 side stories that are related to the topic. Each episode seems to be half documentary and half reenactment. The stories for season 1 were perfect (afterlife, vampires, insane asylums, dolls, and more). Being a huge horror fan, Lore is here to stay for me and is easily one of my favorite creepy documentary series! I binge watched all 6 episodes quickly and I can't wait for the next season to come out soon!

For the Complainant: Pradeep Sharma, Advocate. For the Opposite Parties: None.
Padma Pandey, Member
1. The facts, in brief, are that the complainant firm is engaged in the business of poultry farming. In the year 2018, the complainant firm took policy i.e. Standard Fire and Special Perils Policy bearing No.420101111810000147 valid from 27.05.2018 to 26.05.2019 from Opposite Party No.1 having sum insured of Rs.8,70,00,000/- at the premium of Rs.58,516/-, in which, description of property covered as "poultry farms (excluding birds therein), hatchery, section IV-industrial manufacturing risk". It was further stated that the complainant paid additional premium of Rs.1028/- and got an add on coverage of "Earthquake". During the policy period, on 09.02.2019, the insured building, in question, was damaged due to earthquake and accumulation of water due to heavy rainfall. The said fact was reported to the insurance company on the same day i.e. 09.02.2019, who appointed M/s Consolidated India Surveyors as a surveyor for assessment of the loss. It was further stated that no other terms and conditions were supplied to the complainant. The insurance claim of the complainant was repudiated by the Opposite Parties by citing reason that the case falls under the Exclusions of Peril-Subsidence and Landslide. The complainant procured the copy of terms and conditions from the office of the insurance company and found that the Opposite Parties have some other terms and conditions which are different from those mentioned online. It was further stated that "Flood and Inundations" and "Earthquake", was certified by the Tehsildar of the area vide certificate dated 21.02.2019. It was further stated that in order to make the case non payable on the ground of exclusions and peril "subsidence and landslide", the Opposite Parties through their surveyor sought report from M/s Continental Foundations & Labs. The said Engineering firm in its report stating that they were contacted by Mr.Joshi on behalf of the insurance company intimating the loss and mentioned therein that the said Engineering Firm was asked to visit the site alongwith team members of insurance company to find out the reasons of collapse. Accordingly, site was visited by the relevant members on 12.02.2019. The said Engineer inspected the site on behalf of M/s Continental Foundation. The said Surveyor M/s Consolidated Insurance Surveyor and Loss Assessors Private Limited submitted his report on 25.06.2019, in which, it has been specifically mentioned that there was no storm and landslide and subsidence also could not be noted at the site of loss. It was further mentioned that the said loss might have been caused due to structural failure or poor quality of construction material used for construction of the building. It was further stated that Naib Tehsildar, Barwala has certified that the building premises of the complainant's feed mill has been collapsed due to earthquake and accumulated water caused by heavy rains. However, the Opposite Parties ignored and did not agree to the certificate of Government Officer. It was further stated that vide email dated 11.07.2019, the surveyor asked the complainant to provide report from Meterological Department (Annexure C-13) but he failed to do so. The complainant also got survey done from an independent licensed surveyor Mr.Vinod Bhan and Associates to cross check. The quantum of loss was shown by the complainant in para No.23 of the complaint i.e. Rs.54,75,000/-. Ultimately, the Opposite Parties repudiated the genuine claim of the complainant vide letter dated 04.12.2019 (Annexure C-16), in which, surveyor came to the conclusion that the loss has been caused due to faulty design, faulty constructions, poor workmanship and the building was overloaded. Despite repeated requests made by the complainant for settlement of the claim, they failed to do so. It was further stated that the aforesaid acts, on the part of the Opposite Parties, amounted to deficiency, in rendering service, and indulgence into unfair trade practice. When the grievance of the complainant, was not redressed, left with no alternative, a complaint under the Consumer Protection Act (in short the 'Act' only), was filed.
2. The Opposite Parties, in their written version, has denied that the building collapsed due to heavy rains, earthquake and subsidence. It was stated that the complainant failed to place on record any report from Metrological Department to prove heavy rains and earthquake in the area on the date of loss i.e. 09.02.2019. It was further stated that as per report of structural Engineer i.e. M/s Continental Foundations and Labs, the insured building collapsed due to structural failure and use of poor quality materials in the construction and the insurance company not covered any loss due to defective design or workmanship or use of defective materials under Clause viii(d) of the terms and conditions of Standard Fire and Special Perils Policy. Therefore, the replying Opposite Parties through registered letter dated 19.12.2019 rightly repudiated the claim of the complainant on the ground that the said loss was due to defective design or workmanship or use of defective materials. It was further stated that the complainant has not reinstated or repaired the damaged building and plant & machinery and not submitted any repair bills, as such, the said surveyor rightly assessed the loss on depreciated value basis. It was further stated that the complete insurance policy with its terms and conditions were duly supplied to the complainant at the time of commencement of policy and prior to filing of the complaint, the complainant never raised any objection with regard to non supply of the terms and conditions of the policy. It was further stated that the complainant has failed to provide any report from Indian Metrological Department regarding the earthquake and heavy rainfall on 09.02.2019. It was further stated that the Tehsildar is not competent authority to issue certificate regarding earthquake and heavy rains. The surveyor requested the complainant to provide the report of Metrological Department certifying the incident of earthquake and heavy rains but it failed to provide the same. It was further stated that the complainant obtained the report from Sh.Vinod Bhan Associate and Surveyor at their own whims and fancies, vide which, it is apparent that the same was prepared merely by sitting in the office as per wish of the complainant. It was further stated that the said loss was caused due to structural failure of the building and use of poor quality materials in the constructions. It was further stated that neither there was any deficiency, in rendering service, on the part of the Opposite Parties, nor they indulged into unfair trade practice.
3. The Parties led evidence, in support of their case.
4. We have heard the Counsel for the complainant and have gone through the evidence and written arguments of both the parties, carefully.
5. The sole question that falls for consideration, is, as to whether, the claim of the complainant was rightly repudiated by the insurance company. The answer, to this, question is in the affirmative. It is the admitted fact that the complainant firm took insurance policy i.e. Standard Fire and Special Perils Policy from Opposite Party No.1, which was valid from 27.05.2018 to midnight 26.05.2019 and according to the complainant, it paid additional premium of Rs.1028/- and got an add on coverage of "Earthquake". As per the complainant, the said insured building was damaged during the policy period i.e. on 09.02.2019 due to earthquake and accumulation of water due to heavy rainfall. It is also the admitted fact that the said matter was reported to the insurance company on the same day i.e.09.02.2019, to which, M/s Consolidated India Surveyors was appointed as surveyor for assessment of loss. The claim of the complainant was repudiated by the Opposite Parties vide letter dated 04.12.2019, the relevant portion of the said report reads thus :-
"X x x x x The surveyor has submitted his report dated 25-06-2019 after taking into account the report of the structural engineer besides the physical inspection done by the surveyor it was concluded that no land slide/subsidence could be noted on his visit on 10-02-2019 and 11-02-2019. The Standard Fire & Special Perils Policy does not cover damages caused due to defective design or workmanship or use of defective material and the subject loss is not admissible as per exclusion (d) of the peril 'Subsidence and Landslide including Rock Slide.'
The surveyor recommended for repudiation of the claim as the same does not fall within the scope of the policy and the competent authority has scrutinized the entire records and came into the conclusion that the claim is not payable. In view of the facts mentioned above your claim stands repudiated, which please note."
In view of afore-extracted paragraph, it is clear that the claim was repudiated on the ground of defective design or workmanship or use of defective materials . In the present case, the plea taken by the complainant that the said insured building collapsed due to heavy rains and earthquake has no value at all because the complainant has failed to place on record any report from Metrological Department to prove that heavy rain and earthquake in the area on the date of loss i.e. on 09.02.2019. To prove this fact, the complainant placed on record certificate of Tehsildar but the said certificate is not tenable in the eyes of law because the said Tehsildar is not competent to issue any certificate regarding the weather conditions because the Government already established Metrological Department to submit the report. Moreover, perusal of the zimini order dated 17.08.2020 shows that this Commission also directed Indian Metrological Department to submit a report as to whether there was any earthquake in the area of Barwala, District Panchkula (Haryana) between 05.02.2019 to 09.02.2019. If there was any earthquake during the said period, its frequency at Richter Scale be also intimated further verify as to whether a building can collapse at such a frequency on the date of earthquake or thereafter. In compliance to the said order, a letter dated 07.09.2020 has been received from Metrological Department that the required seismic data cannot be submitted to this Commission because seismic records are not maintained and provided by the o/o Director, National Center for Seismology c/o Mausam Bhavan Complex, India Meteorological Department, Lodi Road, New Delhi. Therefore, notice was issued to the said department and direction was issued to submit the report
. On the next date of hearing, perusal of zimini order dated 02.12.2020 shows that a report has been received from the said authority, wherein, it has been stated that "no significant earthquake have occurred between 05.02.2019 to 09.02.2019 in the area of Barwala of District Panchkula (Haryana). Importantly, as per report of structural Engineer i.e. M/s Continental Foundations and Labs, the insured building collapsed due to structural failure and use of poor quality materials in the construction and mortar used in the building at places was weak and 18 rooms constructed on the first floor where the labourers were living have also contributed to structural failure. So, it is clearly proved that there was no earthquake on the date of loss, as such, the claim of the complainant was rightly repudiated by the Opposite Parties on the ground of defective design or workmanship or use of defective materials. Therefore, the complainant has failed to prove its case, as such, the complaint stands dismissed, with no order as to costs. 6. Certified Copies of this order be sent to the parties, free of charge. 7. The file be consigned to Record Room, after completion.

You rarely express a differing opinion (even when you clearly disagree).
Many of us seriously underrate how strongly our body affects our state-of-mind. We don't realize how strongly poor diet, lack of sleep, and too little exercise can affect our emotional and mental health.
Bipolar disorder affects men and women in equal numbers, and the symptoms are essentially identical. But some key differences do exist—differences that might be due to biological factors, and social ones, too.
Humans are hard wired for compassion and caring. We need each other to survive and thrive. According to University of California, Berkeley psychologist Dacher Keltner, our brains are hardwired to feel compassion. "We're wired to care.

So I've been going to an osteopath. It makes me question why I chose my current career path. Let me explain.
Back in the winter, around the same time that my blood pressure went all wonky, I realized that I was walking around the school with no neck. Literally, my shoulders were up around my ears and I was walking like Lurch. It was so wrong. I spent time visualizing length in my spine and consciously lowering my shoulders; and complaining to the kindergarten teacher about how I felt. She suggested that I make an appointment with her osteopath, who is part way between work and my house.
"Just go with it," she said. "There's something about it that just makes you wonder."
So at the beginning of February I made an appointment. Essentially, I went, laid on a table fully clothed, and closed my eyes as the osteo took the temperature of my feet before working her way up and down me with a pressure that wasn't as deep as a massage. When she was done, she said in a calm, soothing voice, "I'll leave you for a few minutes to let the patterns settle." Um...okay...this is when I began to wonder about what I'd really gotten myself into.
I went back to work and talked to the kindergarten teacher again about how I wasn't really sure about what had happened, and how I felt better (maybe), but wasn't really sure.
"Just go with it," she said. "It makes no sense, but keep trying."
So I went back in March. And wondered why I was there.
In April, I went to my next appointment. I'd been suffering with congestion and mysterious bug bites on my legs (which have since been diagnosed as a minor case of shingles). I told her about the bites, but didn't mention my nightly congestion. It didn't occur to me that it was at all important.
I laid down on the table, closed my eyes, and let her go to work. She spent a lot of time working my outer thighs. At the end of the session, after the patterns had settled, the osteo said to me, "You're really congested! I could feel it in your system." I explained that yes, I was, and that I usually stuffed up in the evening and then didn't sleep well because of the snoring. She said, "I spent a lot of time releasing your sinuses. See how you do this evening."
Releasing my sinuses? Riiight. Yet, that was the first night that I didn't stuff up and sleep poorly in weeks.
I'm going back in May.
I started seeing an osteopath on the recommendation of a physiotherapist (I have scoliosis and she thought that my hips/back would create a problem during pregnancy) and I was totally blown away by how effective the treatments were, and by how knowledgeable the osteopath was. I think there are a lot of benefits to looking at the human body as a bunch of connected pieces, since things do seem to be more related than they seem to be.
It does sound kind of sham-like, but osteopaths have to do a ton of schooling and my understanding is the certification process is fairly intensive. My guy is also an RMT with a degree in kinesiology, so it's good to know I'm in good hands (literally).
Reminds me of my first visit to an acupuncturist. I was skeptical but then I kept seeing results. I'm a convert!

Amazon workers in NYC vote to unionise
Amazon workers in Staten Island, New York, voted to unionise on Friday, marking the first successful US organising effort in the retail giant's history.
Warehouse workers cast 2,654 votes — or about 55% — in favour of a union, giving the fledgling Amazon Labor Union enough support to pull off a victory.
According to the National Labor Relations Board, which is overseeing the process, 2,131 workers — or 45% — rejected the union bid.
The 67 ballots that were challenged by either Amazon or the ALU were not enough to sway the outcome. Federal labour officials said the results of the count will not be verified until they process any objections — due by April 8 — that both parties may file.
Chris Smalls, a fired Amazon employee who has been leading the ALU in its fight on Staten Island, emerged from the NLRB building in Brooklyn on Friday with other union organisers, pumping their fists and jumping, chanting "ALU".
"I hope that everybody's paying attention now because a lot of people doubted us," he said.
Mr Smalls hopes the success in New York will embolden workers at other facilities to launch their own organising campaigns. Even his group will soon shift their attention to a neighbouring Amazon warehouse on Staten Island, where a separate union election is scheduled to be held in late April.
Amazon posted a statement on its company website on Friday saying that it was evaluating its options following the election.
"We're disappointed with the outcome of the election in Staten Island because we believe having a direct relationship with the company is best for our employees," the post said.
"We're evaluating our options, including filing objections based on the inappropriate and undue influence by the NLRB that we and others (including the National Retail Federation and US Chamber of Commerce) witnessed in this election."
The company did not elaborate but it signalled it might challenge the election based on a lawsuit filed in March by the NLRB, which sought to force Amazon to reinstate a fired employee who was involved in the union drive.
The successful union effort on Staten Island stood in contrast to the one launched in Bessemer, Alabama (Eduardo Munoz Alvarez/AP)
NLRB spokesperson Kayla Blado responded to Amazon's statement by noting that the independent agency has been authorised by Congress to enforce the National Labour Relations Act.
"All NLRB enforcement actions against Amazon have been consistent with that Congressional mandate," she said.
The successful union effort on Staten Island stood in contrast to the one launched in Bessemer, Alabama by the more established Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union.
Workers at an Amazon warehouse there appeared to have rejected a union bid but outstanding challenged ballots could change the outcome. The votes were 993-to-875 against the union. A hearing to review 416 challenged ballots is expected to begin in the next few days.
Amazon has long been considered a top prize for the labour movement given the company's massive size and impact. The results in Staten Island reverberated all the way to the White House.
"The president was glad to see workers ensure their voices are heard with respect to important workplace decisions," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at Friday's briefing about the vote.
"He believes firmly that every worker in every state must have a free and fair choice to join a union and the right to bargain collectively with their employer."


Discussion in 'Plumbing Forum' started by calimero, Feb 5, 2019.
Discuss Lost of pressure in all cold/hot taps in the Plumbing Forum area at UKPlumbersForums.co.uk.
I also noticed that the cold water tap is jamming (air locks in the pipe??) could this be a loss a pressure in the tank that needs adjustment. ?
appreciate if someone could help troubleshooting that scenario.
Could you try explaining "Cold water tap is jamming" again please.
If the filters are after the gauge then it's most likely the filters are blocked.
You need a gauge after the filters to keep and eye on when they need changing.
sorry I don t know the exact term.. The water is 'bursting' ?
Pulsating? Bursts of water in unequal sequence?
the filter system and the cartridges are new. The spin filter is placed before the inline system. There is no real strong water flow when i start flushing that filter .
Think we need photo(s) of this system to advise.
You saying the kitchen tap water is direct from the well or via the filter system and are you in the uk?
Do you have an expansion vessel in the system? If so, I suspect the bladder has ruptured!
got them this morning. First gauge reads2.5 bar, the second on the spin filter= 2.0bar.
The White cylinder in the photo, was it like that before or fixed vertically to the wall.

Multiple Characters quotes
Palm Apodaca: People. Animals are not like that. They're always cleaning themselves. Did you ever see, umm... pigeons? Well, he's always picking on himself and his friends. They're always picking bugs out of their hair all the time. Monkeys too. Except they do something out in the open that I don't go for.
Catherine Van Oost: You're a strange person, Robert. I mean, what will you come to? If a person has no love for himself, no respect for himself, no love of his friends, family, work, something - how can he ask for love in return? I mean, why should he ask for it?
Betty: When I was four, just four years old, I went to my mother and I said, "What's this hole in my chin?" - I saw this dimple in my chin in the mirror, and didn't know what it was. And my mother said - get what my mother says - she says, "When you're born, you go on a assembly line past God, and if He likes you, He says, [grabs her cheeks with both her hands] "You cute little thing!" and you get dimples there. And if He doesn't like you, He goes, [presses one finger on her chin] "Go away." So about six months later, my mother found me saying my prayers, and I was going, [holds one hand over her chin] "Now I lay me down to sleep..." My mother says, "What are you covering up your chin for?" And I said, "Because if I cover up the hole, maybe He'll listen to me."
Dupea: You're just gonna sit here?
Rayette: Yes.
Dupea: Okay. I hope no one hits on you.
Rayette: I hope they do.
Rayette: That was real good, wasn't it? I finally did it!
Dupea: Great. You throw the big Z's for 19 frames, and then you throw a strike on the last ball of a losing game. Wonderful. Just wonderful. [Turns around to bowlers at next lane] Isn't that wonderful, ladies?
Twinky: Are you talking to us?
Dupea: Wonderful.
Rayette: You love me, Bobby?
Bobby: What do you think? [they kiss]
Palm Apodaca: Hey, follow that truck. They know the best places to stop.
Rayette: That's an old maid's tale.
Palm Apodaca: Bullshit! Truck drivers are the only ones that know the best places to stop on the road.
Rayette: Salesmen and cops are the ones. If you'd ever waitressed, honey, you'd know that.
Palm Apodaca: Don't call me honey, mac.
Rayette: Don't call me mac, honey.
Dupea: I'd like a plain omelette, no potatoes, tomatoes instead, a cup of coffee, and wheat toast.
Waitress: No substitutions.
Dupea: What do you mean? You don't have any tomatoes?
Waitress: Only what's on the menu. You can have a number two - a plain omelette. It comes with cottage fries and rolls.
Dupea: Yeah, I know what it comes with. But it's not what I want.
Waitress: Well, I'll come back when you make up your mind.
Dupea: Wait a minute. I have made up my mind. I'd like a plain omelette, no potatoes on the plate, a cup of coffee, and a side order of wheat toast.
Waitress: I'm sorry, we don't have any side orders of toast...an English muffin or a coffee roll.
Dupea: What do you mean you don't make side orders of toast? You make sandwiches, don't you?
Waitress: Would you like to talk to the manager?
Dupea: ...You've got bread and a toaster of some kind?
Waitress: I don't make the rules.
Dupea: OK, I'll make it as easy for you as I can. I'd like an omelette, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee.
Waitress: A number two, chicken sal san, hold the butter, the lettuce and the mayonnaise. And a cup of coffee. Anything else?
Dupea: Yeah. Now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.
Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh?
Dupea: I want you to hold it between your knees.
Waitress: Do you see that sign, sir? Yes, you'll all have to leave. I'm not taking any more of your smartness and sarcasm.
Dupea: You see this sign? [He sweeps all the water glasses and menus off the table]
Palm Apodaca: Fantastic that you could figure that all out and lie that down on her so you could come up with a way to get your toast. Fantastic!
Dupea: Yeah, well, I didn't get it, did I?
Palm Apodaca: No, but it was very clever. I would have just punched her out.
Palm Apodaca: You know, I read where they, uh, invented this car that runs on, ummm... that runs on, ummm... when you boil water?
Terry: Steam.
Palm Apodaca: Right, steam. A car that you could ride around in and not cause a stink. But do you know they will not even let us have it? Can you believe it? Why? Man! He likes to create a stink! I mean, I've seen filth that you wouldn't believe. Ugh! What a stink! I don't even want to talk about it.
Dupea: That's dangerous, you know.
Catherine: Riding?
Dupea: Mm-hmm. You play the piano all day and then jump on a horse, you could get cramps.
Dupea: What are you doing screwing around with all this crap?
Catherine: I do not find your language very charming.
Dupea: It isn't. It's direct.
Catherine: I'd like you to leave so that I can take a bath. Is that direct?
Dupea: What else do you do?
Catherine: Well, there's fishing, boating, and concerts on the mainland. [Laughs] I feel funny telling you this. This is really your home. You probably know better than I what there is to do.
Dupea: Nothing.
Catherine: Nothing?
Catherine: Well, it must be very boring for you here.
Dupea: That's right.
Catherine: I find that very hard to comprehend. I don't think I've ever been bored. Excuse me.
Betty: That's a wig you wear, isn't it?
Dupea: Me?
Betty: Yeah, I told her it was you but that you were wearin' a wig because on the TV you're mostly all, uh - [pats him on the head] bald up there! [laughs]
Dupea: [laughs] Your, your little friend's real, real sharp. Uh, I don't, uh, I don't wear the wig on TV because if you're gonna be out there in front of two and a half million people, you've got to be sincere. I mean, I like to wear it when I'm in bowling alleys and slipping around, stuff like that. I think it gives me a little class. What do you think?
Truck driver: Where we're goin', it's gonna get colder than hell.
Dupea: Nah, it's okay. I'm fine. Fine. I'm fine.

The Gay Thing
It's always entertaining and occasionally heartbreaking to watch politicians wrestle with sculpting their policy statements regarding gay people. Most Democratic politicians, including President Obama, have "evolved" towards support for gay civil rights. The many Republicans seeking a Presidential nomination are more perplexed; they need to satisfy the right-wing religious nutjobs but also the vast majority of younger Republicans who support stuff like gay marriage. Many of these candidates have been asked if they'd attend a gay wedding; Scott Walker admitted to attending the reception for a gay couple, but not the wedding, while the ever-hateful Rick Santorum wouldn't get within miles of such a satanic ritual. Marco Rubio has decided that being gay isn't a choice, but that marriage must still exist only between a man and a woman. Because these squirmings have become so incoherent, I'd like to help out, with a few more possible responses:
"I would attend a gay wedding, but I wouldn't pay more than $25 for a gift."
"I have gay friends, but I pity them."
"My cousin is gay, and we invite her for brunch, but not dinner. I believe that dinner is only for a man and a woman."
"I'm fine with gay people legalizing their relationships, as long as it's not called marriage. I'd prefer to call it Subhuman Coupling or Non-Dairy Marriage Substitute."
"I would serve as an usher at a gay wedding, but I'd wear sweats, to show that it wasn't a real wedding."
"I believe, and I have always believed, that the states should regulate my son's choice of sleazy boyfriends who claim they're attending online business school."
"I would be willing to sit beside a gay person on a plane, if I received a substantial rebate."
"I've known many fine, upstanding gay Americans, and I've had satisfying gay sex with them, but I don't want them filling the Oval Office with fussy knicknacks and framed black-and-white photographs of well-muscled male torsos, so I'd only let them rethink the powder rooms near the Rose Garden."

On the Course and in the Hospital, There's No Going it Alone
A rare infection put Kevin Murphy's life in danger. He responded by grabbing life by the neck and racing the heck out of it.
Setting a goal of completing an IRONMAN race in 2017, now 31-year-old Kevin Humphrey returned from a dream road trip to Montana with his then fiancé Carlie in early January, 2017. Post-travel sickness is common, so the pair didn't think too much of it when they both developed flu-like symptoms upon returning to their home in Chicago. Carlie recovered after a few days but Kevin, a Director of Sales in the medical field, did not.
Two weeks in, multiple doctor visits and rounds of antibiotics and steroids not helping, Carlie insisted they head to the hospital. Kevin was admitted immediately with bacterial pneumonia. His liver enzyme levels were not normal, which also caused concern. Despite tests and treatments, Kevin's condition continued to deteriorate. "He went from walking into the hospital to bed ridden, oxygen dependent and with early signs of ARDS (mortality rate of 50 percent)," said Carlie. His resting heart rate was 130 and his fevers were often in the 104 degree range. A particularly astute medical student, who Carlie says later became their champion, sent testing to specialized labs in hopes to pinpoint the terrible infection in Kevin's lung. Two weeks later, one of the tests yielded the answer: a severe fungal infection best treated by a controversial drug called Amphotericin B.
"Life is precious and fragile, fill it with people and things you love most!"
Administered by infusion, most patients have severe reactions especially within the first few hours of the treatment. Kevin's years getting up at 4:45 a.m. to get in long rides and runs proved to be the factor that helped him tolerate the infusion and push through a host of awful side effects. When he was discharged, he was told that due to the severe infection he would likely not be able to run for a year.
"Kevin worked really hard to gain his strength back. He did not stop moving the second he was able to walk again," Carlie recalls. But during his recovery, he set a goal to complete an IRONMAN. Just six months after being admitted to the hospital, Kevin finished IRONMAN 70.3 Wisconsin in 6:15:51. "His pulmonology and infectious disease doctors couldn't believe how far he had come," said Carlie. "Multiple physicians have told us they use his case in lectures."
Through the ordeal, Carlie and Kevin learned numerous life lessons that they've found themselves applying to triathlon and beyond. "Our bodies work really hard for us every day, so take care of them," said Carlie. "If you feel like that something isn't right, don't ignore it. If we would have continued treating this as a bacterial pneumonia at home for much longer the outcome may not have been as good."
It also takes a village: not only to help when receiving a medical diagnosis but to help someone achieve one of their life goals. "Regardless if it's people high-fiving you in the IRONMAN transition area or holding your hand while they inject medication into your body, going through life with people behind you means you never have to do those things alone," she adds. "Life is precious and fragile, fill it with people and things you love most!"
Those weeks in the hospital will no doubt weigh on his mind as he races his first IRONMAN 70.3 of the season in Bariloche, Argentina on March 11th. After a warm-up race at IRONMAN 70.3 Chattanooga, in September he'll do his first full distance race at IRONMAN Wisconsin.
"Kevin is not a man of quantity but quality," said Carlie. "When he puts his heart into something, he puts 110 percent of it in."
In sharing his story, Carlie hopes others can find hope when life throws wrenches in the way. "Kevin is not one to talk about what he has been through and what he has accomplished. This is not just about him, but about everyone who stands behind him, loves him, cheers him on, and cares for him so he can reach goals that seem impossible."
