Vetlafjellet ("Little mountain") is located between the valleys Brekkedalen and Jordalen - two well known valleys in the Vikafjellet - Nærøyfjorden region. The mountain is a long ridge, stretching 6,5Km from Tverralsdkaret in the north to Sivlesøyni in the south (near highway E16). Vetlafjellet is the northern part of this ridge, while Sivlesnipa (1240m) is the southern part. "Smalaskaret" (1155m) is the pass between these two tops. Only Vetlafjellet is considered as an independent mountain on this web-site.
Access during summer and autumn is quite easy, as you can drive all the way up to Tverraldskaret pass (approx. 1245m) on a toll road (gravel). You can follow a path from the pass, but the path disappears as the terrain gets rocky. All in all, Vetlafjellet is one of the easiest mountains in this region. The views are, as from most tops in this region, excellent.
Vetlafjellet (M711: -, Ø.K: Highest contour is 1290m) has a primary factor of 342m towards the higher Fyresnipa (1465m) The saddle is found in Tverraldskaret pass ("Tverelmskaret" on Økonomisk Kartverk). Ref. Økonomisk Kartverk (5m contours), you cross the 950m contours on the high route, but not 945m. The saddle height has been interpolated to 948m.
On the 1316-I Gudvangen map, the height is 1286m (1286,45m on Ø.K.). This is the trig. point (cairn). The high point is located 117m further northeast. The highest contours on Ø.K. are 1290m, and they are tiny. My Garmin GPS map says this point is 1290m, and this is the height I have chosen to use. My GPS reported 1296m on this point. After correcting for error margins, I would suggest that 1292m-1293m is a reasonable estimate. However, I have chosen to stick with the height on the Garmin map. I have also noticed that Norgesglasset (3Km zoom) shows 1292m.
From Bergen, follow highway E16 towards Voss. From the traffic light in Voss, follow E16 up to the RV13/E16 junction (1,3Km). Turn left towards Oslo and follow E16 31,9Km. Turn left towards "Stalheim". Drive 1,4Km and just after having passed Stalheim hotel, turn onto the road up Brekkedalen. Follow this road 8,7Km and park at the Tverraldskaret pass. Do not block for passing traffic.
Follow a path from Tverraldskaret up the distinct Tverraldshalsen ridge. The slope angle increases as you walk up "Reinsgrindane", but the terrain levels out above this part. As you head towards the base of the mountain, the path fades out. Hike off-trail from here. You will first arrive a point that exceeds 1280m before you descend and head for the Vetlafjellet cairn (large cairn). You pass the high point along the way, 117m NE of the summit cairn. The high point is not marked.
It was the last working day before the summer vacation. I finished at work a bit early and headed for Brønnøysund. This is where my dachshund "Troll" would spend his summer vacation. When facing a 14 hour long car drive, it is important to make a few stops along the way.
From my hike across Fyresnipa and some other tops last week-end, I had the chance to take a good look at Vetlafjellet. From the Tverraldskaret pass, it shouldn't take more than one hour up to the top. Excellent as an afternoon walk. Tverraldskaret is approx. a 2,5 hour drive from Bergen p> By 17:05PM, the dog and I was ready to hike from Tverraldskaret. We followed a path across the lower ridge (Tverraldshalsen) but lost it when we got to the base of the mountain. I put Troll in the backpack and hiked directly up a steep boulder field which seemed like a short-cut. After passing a "false summit", we reached the cairn 18:10PM.
The cairn did not define the high point, which I found approx. 117m further to the northeast. It was quite obvious when I passed it, as the cairn seemed to be at a lower position. We went back to the high point and had a short break before we headed back down. On the way down, I noticed cows heading slowly up towards the pass. I speeded up the descent, remembering how the car looked like last week-end (side-mirror on the ground and marks all over the car).
By 18:50PM, we were back at the car and had beaten the cows by a few minutes. We had to wait for some road work in Brekkedalen to be completed. While waiting, a local farmer (whom I also met last week) told me about two eagles who had attacked and eaten a lamb up in Tverraldskaret. Next stop was Kula and Litlhornet in northern Norway. On the way across Sognefjellet, I took these pictures of Hurrungane.

Q: How to rewrite URLs to lowercase in nginx controller on kubernetes I have a requirement to rewrite all URLs to lowercase.
E.g. test.com/CHILD to test.com/child
Frontend application is developed on docker on azure kubernetes services. Ingress is controlled on nginx ingress controller.

A: You can rewrite URLs using Lua as described in the Enforce Lower Case URLs (NGINX) article.
All we need to do is add the following configuration block to nginx:
location ~ [A-Z] {
    rewrite_by_lua_block {
        ngx.redirect(string.lower(ngx.var.uri), 301);
    }
}

I will show you how it works.

First, I created an Ingress resource with the previously mentioned configuration:
$ cat test-ingress.yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: test-ingress
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/server-snippet: |
     location ~ [A-Z] {
        rewrite_by_lua_block {
            ngx.redirect(string.lower(ngx.var.uri), 301);
        }
      }
spec:
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /app-1
        pathType: Prefix
        backend:
          service:
            name: app-1
            port:
              number: 80

$ kubectl apply -f test-ingress.yaml
ingress.networking.k8s.io/test-ingress created

$ kubectl get ing
NAME           CLASS    HOSTS   ADDRESS          PORTS   AGE
test-ingress   <none>   *       <PUBLIC_IP>      80      58s

Then I created a sample app-1 Pod and exposed it on port 80:
$ kubectl run app-1 --image=nginx
pod/app-1 created

$ kubectl expose pod app-1 --port=80
service/app-1 exposed

Finally, we can test if rewrite works as expected:
$ curl -I <PUBLIC_IP>/APP-1
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Wed, 06 Oct 2021 13:53:56 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 162
Connection: keep-alive
Location: /app-1

$ curl -L <PUBLIC_IP>/APP-1
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to nginx!</title>
...

Additionally, in the ingress-nginx-controller logs, we can see the following log entries:
10.128.15.213 - - [06/Oct/2021:13:54:34 +0000] "GET /APP-1 HTTP/1.1" 301 162 "-" "curl/7.64.0" 83 0.000 [-] [] - - - - c4720e38c06137424f7b951e06c3762b
10.128.15.213 - - [06/Oct/2021:13:54:34 +0000] "GET /app-1 HTTP/1.1" 200 615 "-" "curl/7.64.0" 83 0.001 [default-app-1-80] [] 10.4.1.13:80 615 0.001 200 f96b5664765035de8832abebefcabccf

A: The idea of the solution is ok, but this would rewrite all urls of this controller not only the one for this ingress. Putting it into the configuration-snippet is also not possible, as this leads to an duplicate rewrite_by_lua_block.
I put the rule into a differen lua block
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |
  access_by_lua_block {
    if string.match(ngx.var.uri, "[A-Z]") then
      ngx.redirect(string.lower(ngx.var.uri), 301);
    end
  }

A: The ingress controller supports case insensitive regular expressions in the spec.rules.http.paths.path field. This can be enabled by setting the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex annotation to true (the default is false). For more information please check here
Using the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex annotation will indicate whether or not the paths defined on an Ingress use regular expressions. The default value is false.
The following will indicate that regular expression paths are being used:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: "true"

The following will indicate that regular expression paths are not being used:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: "false"

When this annotation is set to true, the case insensitive regular expression location modifier will be enforced on ALL paths for a given host regardless of what Ingress they are defined on.

The general meaning in the Eight of Swords is that of a feeling of being trapped and victimized. You may feel powerless because, in your mind, you feel that changing the situation might be beyond you. This feeling of helplessness that you have, the feeling that you have no agency in your life, has played a major role in making your situation worse.
Surrendering one s power to an unknown entity, whether it's fate, or God, the government or something else means that you are giving away your own personal responsibility to affect change.
Surrendering one s power to an unknown entity, whether it's fate, or God, the government or something else means that you are giving away your own personal responsibility to affect change. You have willingly relinquished the driver's seat in the journey of your own life, and it isn't going well for you. It is advisable for you to avoid making an important decision at this time since your judgment is likely clouded.
The good news is that because these traps are things that we create ourselves, we can also leave them if we put our minds to it. It is simply the matter of taking off the blindfold, and seeing beyond the limited perspective that we created for ourselves - to see the possibilities, and to recognize that you have your own internal power.
Getting the reversed Eight of Swords is a good sign, since it shows maturity and self-acceptance, and a recognition of one's own power and responsibility - especially after a long struggle of doubt. It means that one is capable of making conscious decisions because they are confident in who they are, and their power to affect change in both themselves and the world. It's time to free ones self from the past and proverbially clear out their closet, creating room for new things and experiences.

HomeCarsA Road Test Of Porsche Macan Turbo: Smart And Masculine Charms
A Road Test Of Porsche Macan Turbo: Smart And Masculine Charms
Macan Turbo may not look like other Porsche cars with its 1.6m height and muscular look, but the spirit of Ferdinand Porsche is alive and well
By Indonesia Tatler on May 16, 2017
‹ / ›
Subtlety is not Porsche Macan Turbo's strong suit. In fact, it feels rather out of place. I've driven it to the Goodwood Members' Meeting, a rather exclusive affair in England reserved for historic car owners, experienced racers and the tiny handful of civilians who manage to get their hands on tickets.
The throngs that come to Lord March's more high-profile Goodwood Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival aren't to be found. The limited numbers here today are allowed to roam around the paddocks, kick the tyres and strike up conversation with four-wheel celebs such as Mika Häkkinen and Dario Franchitti.
Many are among the world's most esteemed collectors and automotive aristocracy.
So here I am, dressed head to toe in tweed, climbing out of a shiny new Porsche SUV that looks like the ultimate drug dealer's ride. I've given it a nickname: Layer Cake. It reminds me of the bright yellow Range Rover from the 2004 film, the one with the idiotic owners.
Like, if you're going to bring boxes of class-As back from Holland, maybe don't do it in a car the colour of a citrus fruit.
But there's nothing idiotic about the Macan Turbo. It is a highly intelligent, refined and capable beast not to be underestimated. It also makes perfect sense.
Purists will tellyou a Porsche should have two doors and an air-cooled engine in the boot. Yet the success of the Panamera and Cayenne prove they are heavily outnumbered.
Indeed, the Macan has established itself as Porsche's best-selling car, and second-hand values are up as much as 25 per cent over new, with impatient punters trying to jump the waiting list.
So it is an incredibly desirable car, but is it a blue-blooded Porsche?
Arguably the biggest draws at Goodwood are the Le Mans prototypes, and the sight of a long line of 1970s wedge-shaped hell-raisers waiting to take to the track makes one's knees buckle. Dozens of Porsche 917s—the most iconic car of the period—in a variety of heartpounding paint jobs, from Martini's white, red and dark blue stripes to Gulf 's light blue and orange.
For race fans of a certain age, this car is possessed by the spirit of the Hollywood star Steve McQueen, who was seen racing one in his 1971 movie Le Mans. McQueen's picture hangs in some of the garages and autojumble stores around the track. The late actor is a patron saint for amateur drivers striving to live out their childhood fantasies.
Can I picture Steve steering his way around southern California in a tall-bodied Porsche? That would take a lot of imagination. The Porsches, Jaguars, Mustangs and Lotuses McQueen loved were all elegant, simple, lightweight, focused cars, and the Macan isn't really any of those.
Instead it's designed for people who want it all, a 4WD utility sports car that can handle anything that's thrown at it. In this respect it's one of the most capable cars I've ever driven.
After the prize-giving at Goodwood I chauffeured some Rolls-Royce engineers to the pub. Professionally sensitive to the slightest bump in the road, throttle jolt or turbo lag, they confirmed my assessment that this car has incredible ride and power delivery.
Being fed through roundabouts and along twisty B roads at speed, the car was utterly composed and the 400 horses as tame as those on a merry-go-round.
This is thanks to my Macan boasting an optional torque vectoring system that is supercar quality. Put the hammer down to overtake and your obstacle is in the rear view mirror within a single tick of the indicator.
Yet if your passenger were to be holding a brimming cocktail glass, there would be no spillage, at least not till you hit the brakes. This car has ceramic composite anchors, which are a HK$77,000 option. For a two-tonne car, its stopping ability is eyewatering.
The standard Turbo weighs in at HK$1.328 million, but with the options fitted mine costs HK$1.9 million. I don't think that's unreasonable, given the engine and everything that harnesses it to the road.
The 3.6-litre V6 is so efficient, powerful and torquey. My car, fitted with an optional performance package, can hit 100km/h in 4.6 seconds. That's just a tad slower than the Aston Martin DB9 GT and the Bentley Continental W12. I am getting around 9.5 litres per 100km of cruising on the motorway and 14 litres on country lanes.
The noise is muffled but audible, a sneeze from the exhaust as the seven-speed PDK transmission upshifts followed by a turbo whine like that of a kitten that's hurt its leg. The cabin is ergonomic and familiar to Porsche users, the main instrument panel up high and a rank of buttons steeply raked all the way down to the arm rest.
My ride has red leather—red on red—suggesting it was specced by Iceberg Slim. The metallic Impulse Red exterior looks almost pink in low light but much more vivid and racy under the sun. I have grey 533mm five-spokesports wheels, wrapped in chunky 295/35 rubber, which enclose massive yellow brake callipers. In a field in West Sussex it looks outré, but in Yas Marina, Ibiza and Aspen it'd look the berries.
It is unashamedly nouveau. But if you want a mid-size SUV with the performance to embarrass an F- Type Jag, then look no further.
Range Rover may have more Sloane-y cachet, but the smaller Evoque can't possibly keep up, while the bigger Range Rover Sport SVR 5-litre V8 can, just, but it costs a whopping HK$1.26 million more. That's practically a whole base Range Rover Sport extra.
The Maserati Levante has an equally alluring badge but nowhere near the same level of performance. The Audi RS 6 Avant is faster and more practical but, like the SVR, it's more expensive, and for Macan suitors, the highbody is non-negotiable. SUVs outnumber estate cars in Knightsbridge 100-1.
So let's talk purity. Does this car threaten to dilute the Porsche brand, built on the 917s I saw celebrated at Goodwood, the badge proudly sewn into the mechanics' overalls?
Not with that engine it doesn't. Not with those chassis dynamics. Not with that steering. The Macan Turbo does Dr Ferdinand's marque proud.
It's more worthy of the badge than the Cayenne because its relatively compact size keeps it sporty, both in its handling and silhouette. In many ways it feels like a stretched hot hatch, albeit one with the engine of a proper Porsche. It's the best of all worlds.
What threatens Porsche with mainstream status are the non-turbo Macan, Cayenne and Panamera, for they lack the trousers. At HK$689,000, the standard Macan looks much the same; most people will never know the difference.
But 252bhp and 6.7 seconds to get to 100km/h are not sporty enough. That is suburban, which is likely its destination. I'd venture it's really an Audi Q5 in drag.
In fact, those are the underpinnings of the Macan, though two-thirds of the Porsche's parts are unique. If you buy the Turbo, though, you are keeping the spirit of Porsche alive, not just the accountants, because it feels like and goes like a sports car—one that's 1.63 metres high.
Once you've understood that, the only thing you need to get your head around is the name. How should one pronounce Macan?
In the UK people tend to say Mack-ann, which doesn't sound terribly sophisticated, and if overheard at a dinner party could be confused for Renault Megane, which would see your social status plummet. Porsche, at least the German end, pronounces it Mackharn, which sounds rather affected to my ear, like people who say parster instead of pasta.
But the name is derived from that of an Indonesian tiger. And a chum of mine who knows a lot about Indonesian tigers (we all have friends like this, surely) tells me it's pronounced Match-ann.
Looking down the model list, here's how it goes: There's the Mack-ann, the Mack-harn S, and the Match-ann Turbo, because the top of the range is a real beast. And regardless of the pimp specification, it's also the only model that can hold its own at the Goodwood Members' Meeting.

U2 frontman Bono paid an emotional tribute to the life of Father Jack Finucane, one of the leading figures of Concern Worldwide, whose funeral took place in Kimmage today.
The singer, who is currently on tour in the US, issued a statement to Concern staff on Sunday and said: "We are so shocked at Jack's passing yet relieved that he made such a graceful exit and indeed humbled that we ever got a glimpse of such a man.
"Ali will be there for what deserves to be an occasion of great celebration of accomplishment as well as sadness in knowing there will never be another like him. My very best to all of you at Concern, tough day."
Bono travelled to Ethiopia with Father Jack in 1985 to witness the devastation brought on by the famine, and the singer has credited him with having a huge influence on his thinking regarding international development.
His funeral mass was attended by Bono's wife Ali Hewson, President Michael D Higgins' Aide de Camp, Former Minister Tom Kitt and RTE's Bryan Dobson and Charlie Bird.

Q: Azure pipeline set displayname of task based on condition In the build pipeline I have a job with a powershell script setting the applicatiuon name based on a variable like this:
$applicationName = If ('$(configuration)' -eq 'Release') { 'Appname' } Else { 'Appname-Test' }
Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=applicationName]$applicationName"

I try to set the display name of the PublishBuildArtifacts@1 variable to the variable like this:
  - task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1
    displayName: $[variables.applicationName] #  runtime variable

But this literally displays $[variables.applicationName] instead of the variable value. How can I change the displayname of a task based on a variable?

A: It doesn't appear that this is currently possible.  In both issues I found, they described this as a feature request.
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-devops-docs/issues/2327
https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-yaml/issues/45

A: You can just use the variable in this way: $(variableName). for example:
pool:
  vmImage: 'windows-latest'

variables:
  test: "SomeValue"

steps:
- task: PowerShell@2
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    script: 'Write-Host "Hello World"'
  displayName: "The variable $(test)"

The result is:

A: I assume ${{..}} is the way to go. You know the configuration at compile time, so you can create the app name at compile time.
variables:
  ${{ if eq(variables.configuration, 'Release') }}:
    applicationName: 'Appname'
  ${{ if ne(variables.configuration, 'Release') }}:
    applicationName: 'Appname-Test'

  - task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1
    displayName: ${{ variables.applicationName }}

Home PC News Apple names Genshin Impact as iPhone game of the year
Apple names Genshin Impact as iPhone game of the year
Apple has named the App Store's best games and apps of 2020, and Genshin Impact is the winner of the iPhone Game of the Year award. The game had a $100 million budget and it enabled Chinese game studio MiHoYo to become recognized on a global stage — and reap an estimated $250 million in revenues in its first month.
But Apple's team of editors chose the game as its winner because it fit within the theme of "helpfulness." In this case, it was one of those game worlds that could take our minds off the pandemic. All told, Apple honored 15 apps and games in different categories. (Wakeout! from Andres Canella won the iPhone App of the Year and Zoom won the iPad App of the Year). The theme of helpful applied to the apps and games that helped us stay fit and mindful, keep our children's education on track, fight world hunger, and otherwise distract us from an awful 2020.
Other game winners included Legends of Runeterra, Disco Elysium, Dandara Trials of Fear and Apple Arcade's Sneaky Sasquatch. Pokémon GO was recognized for reinventing its popular outdoor location-based game with at-home experiences. To reward the winners, Apple created an App Store logo set into recycled aluminum, with the name of the winner engraved on the other side. I was able to interview four of the teams that won for gaming awards.
I liked how the winners were from all over the world, showing some of the diversity of the 1.7 million App Store developers.
Genshin Impact (Best iPhone game)

This award for Genshin Impact comes a day after it won the Google Play Game of the Year. As mentioned, the title cost $100 million to make and it has recouped more than $393 million since its debut on September 28.
The free-to-play role-playing game combines MiHoYo's love for animation, comics, and games, said Forrest Lin, president of the Shanghai-based company.
MiHoYo was formed by three grad students in December 2011. They started with anime-style games and continued with the latest title, which had a staff of more than 400 people. With the game, they shot for PC-level quality on a mobile device, as they knew that the processing power of the latest smartphones was growing dramatically.
They even hired a couple of orchestras — one in London and one in Shangai — to make the music for the game. The big bets paid off with an RPG with a beautiful open world that swept the world quickly. The game has been downloaded more than 50 million times.
"We have brought the console quality to a free-to-play mobile game," Lin said. "Three years ago, people thought we were crazy. It was a big risk we took from the technical and design perspective. But we knew the flagship Apple devices would have to be powerful enough to run a game that we could make."
Dandara — Trials of Fear (Best Apple TV game)
Brazilian game studio Long Hat House and publisher Raw Fury won for this game that combines the culture of Brazilian folk hero Dandara and Metroidvania 2D platformer gameplay.
In an interview with GamesBeat, Long Hat House cofounders Lucas Mattos and Joāo Brant said the game tries to capture the spirit of an escaped slave and her gravity-defying conflict with her oppressors. Her battles offer a ray of freedom amid overwhelming despotism. The story about the black woman from Brazilian legend offers some hope for those who resist oppression and slavery, Mattos said.
The team of four (three of them from Belo Horizonte, Brazil) has been working together since 2014, when they joined together during a World Cup vacation. Dandara is their second game, and it came out in 2018 on iOS. The title debuted this year on Apple TV, and that's why it is eligible to get the award.
"We wanted to bring more about our culture and our environment to the game," Brant said. "We constantly get inspired when we see our oldest art and architecture, and we try to find what it means to be Brazilian. We aspire to bring something new and meaningful to players, something that was never seen before, so the experiences stay with them."
They noted that slavery in Brazil lasted for more than three centuries. The game was their attempt to capture the culture and story in an immersive experience.
Pokemon Go (App Trend of the Year for reinventing the way we play)

Pokemon Go won because the developer and publisher Niantic pivoted the game after the pandemic began. It put a stop to large raids that brought people to the same physical spot in the location-based game and enabled people to participate in the game and group activities from afar.
"The core identity is about getting people to exercise, move around in the real world, and meet each other," said Matt Slemon, Niantic senior product manager, in an interview with GamesBeat. "We had to do a whole bunch of pivots to figure out what does that mean in a world where COVID-19 has completely changed what is acceptable socially and what is safe."
Niantic spent a bunch of time this year rolling with that idea and figuring out how to change the game so people could still play it in a safe way. They added things like the ability to pick up rewards or capture Pokemon from a greater distance. The company was able to relax the social distancing requirements for a bit but then it had to reinstate them as the virus surged again.
"Things are trending in the opposite direction once again, and so we recently made another announcement responding to that," said Veronica Saron, product marketing manager at Niantic, in an interview. "A lot of this is staying responsible and making sure we're listening to feedback."
The company managed to convert its in-person Pokemon Go Fest to a remote event where players could socialize with each other and compete in long-distance events. Millions of people participated in the July festival and each player walked an average of 15 kilometers.
The team was ready to launch a major TV commercial during the summer, but with the pandemic, they had to re-create the commercial in six weeks using Star Wars director Rian Johnson.
In an example of how the game makes people more social, one New York family uses it to hatch at least one egg per day by walking at least two kilometers, said Saron. Now the game has launched its biggest update ever, raising the level cap in the game to 50.
To further help small businesses, the company is planning on expanding a part of the game that drives people to local businesses. But it will do so based on when the pandemic eases again.
Sneaky Sasquatch (Best Apple Arcade game)

I got my first look at Sneaky Sasquatch a year ago at an event at Apple's headquarters. It was a cute game where a friendly Bigfoot creature sneaks into camps and steals food from the campers.
The title came from a two-person team called RAC7 in Vancouver, Canada. Cofounder Jesse Ringrose said in an interview that the inspiration came from a childhood growing up in the suburbs of the city, near wooded areas. They wanted to create a game that could make people feel "stress-free," just roaming around campsites and engaging in hilarious activities.
The fans responded so well (sending pictures of Sneaky Sasquatch cakes) that the founders (including Jason Ennis) decided to do updates that eventually tripled the size of the game. They let the Sasquatch infiltrate a company and sneak around dressed as a human, starting in the mailroom and then eventually getting to go on golf outings with the CEO.
"We're still going and there's no end in sight," said Ringrose. "We feel like we've got 10 years worth of ideas."
That's interesting because the game is an Apple Arcade title, which people can play as part of a $5 a month subscription. Because of that model, Ringrose said his company can make decisions that are divorced from the need to monetize the game.
"The motivations behind the updates are very different for us," Ringrose said. "That makes it easier to sleep at night."
During the pandemic, fans have been writing to say the game helps distract them from reality. The top player has logged more than 5,000 hours in the game.
"Parents say 'thank you so much for this game.' They say with their kids bouncing off the walls, they don't know what they would have done," Ringrose said.

Mis-Sold Unit Trust
Unit Trusts have been a popular type of investment for well over 50 years. They allow a group of investors to pool their money together, giving them access to a much broader range of investments such as securities and property. Unit Trusts – which should be invested for more than five years – can be affected by external factors, such as the banking crisis, and many customers have lost a large percentage of their money as a result.
Unit Trusts are one type of investment that is recommended by financial advisers to their clients, but they can be very volatile, and if you weren't made fully aware of the risks from the outset, then you might have been a victim of Unit Trust mis-selling.
Have you been mis-sold a Unit Trust?
The issue is not whether you've lost a lot of money or not – that's the risk with any investment – but rather that you may not have been informed about the potential for losses before you signed on the dotted line.
What's more, Unit Trusts incur initial fees and ongoing management charges which can significantly impact the performance of a fund. These fees have at times resulted in 6% immediately being taken from an investor's capital – and you might not have been informed.
You may have been mis-sold a Unit Trust if, at the time of purchasing, any of the following are true:
You did not understand how a Unit Trust investment worked
You are risk averse
Your investment is performing well below what was expected/predicted
You were advised that a return on your investment was guaranteed
You were not in a position to invest the capital for a minimum of five years
You felt pressured into taking the investment, possibly even being persuaded to switch from an existing investment or fund

We're well placed to help you if you've been a victim of Unit Trust mis-selling. We can offer advice on how to go about your claim and manage the entire process for you.

Q: Trying to parse JSON Object from POST Request in Express v4 using body-parser I'm currently teaching myself more about server code, specifically using Node.js and Express, and I'm having a lot of trouble with receiving and parsing a JSON object sent from a POST request. I have looked at numerous other posts (linked to below) and I can't figure out for the life of me what's going wrong. Here's what I've looked at:
Javascript: Send JSON Object with AJAX
Javascript : Send JSON Object with Ajax?
How do I consume the JSON POST data in an Express application

Send POST data using XMLHttpRequest

How do you extract POST data in Node.js?
How do you extract POST data in Node.js?
All of these are putting me on the right track, but I'm not quite there and thus looking for help. Here's the code I'm working with:
Send POST Request
var button = document.querySelector("#button");

button.onclick = function(){
    console.log("Getting data from local server");

    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

    xhr.open("POST", "http://localhost:3000/data/test.json", true);
    xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    xhr.send(JSON.stringify({"latitude": 41.2418, "longitude": -70.8898}));
};

Handle POST Request In Server
var http = require("http");
var fs = require("fs");
var express = require("express");
var app = express();
var path = require("path");
var bodyParser = require("body-parser");

var port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
//tells express where to find all the static files (HTML, CSS, etc) and load them into the browser
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '../client')));

//tells the application to use body-parser as middleware so it can handle post requests
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}));
app.use(bodyParser.json());

//routing methods
//deal with incoming GET and POST requests to the server
app.get("/", function(req, res){
    res.send("Submitted GET Request");
})

//only handles incoming POST requests to the test.json resource
app.post("/data/test.json", function(req, res){
    console.info("Submitting POST Request to Server");
    console.info("Request body: " + req.body);
    //write the file
    fs.writeFile(__dirname + "/../client/data/test.json", req.body,
    function(err){
        if(err){
            console.error(err); //print out the error in case there is one
            return res.status(500).json(err);
        }

        //resolve the request with the client
        console.info("updated test.json");
        res.send();
    });
})

//tell the express object to create the server and listen on the port
app.listen(port);
console.log("Listening on localhost:" + port);

Whenever I try to print out the contents of "req.body" I get the output of "[object Object]". Any ideas?
EDIT:
My issue has been solved. I have changed
console.info("Request body: " + req.body);

To
console.info("Request body: " + JSON.stringify(req.body));

I also changed my Content-Type in my POST XMLHTTPRequest to "application/json" to help with formatting.

A: "[object Object]" is the default result of JavaScript's implicit toString operation, which it uses when trying to write a string representation of that object to the file.
Try writing JSON.stringify(req.data) to the file instead.
Also, on the client side – consider changing your Content-Type header to match:
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

A: If your post body is expected to be JSON, then change this line
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

To
 xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");


A new restaurant from the people behind Bocca di Lupo and Gelupo, offering low-priced Italian dishes inspired by street food.
Please note, Vico is now closed. Time Out Food & Drink Editors, June 2017.
'Ugh! Can't think of anything worse than eating a meal on a plastic stool that doesn't have a back!' This WhatsApp from a 23-year-old gal-about-town lays bare part of the challenge that Jacob Kenedy has set himself in Vico, his new fast-food restaurant (an outpost of Bocca di Lupo and Gelupo) in Cambridge Circus. The stools are indeed plastic, and backless.
Other challenges include a site next door to a Polpo, easy-to-dislike decor and an ordering system so unconventional it has to be explained to first-timers. Most food (pre-cooked) sits on the counter awaiting your choice, though there's also raw fish and shellfish deep-fried to order and brought to your table by the waiting staff. Everything else you carry to the table yourself. It's not all that different from a deli counter or buffet, but in a place like this, the idea takes time to get used to. And I give full credit to Mr Kenedy and Co for making numerous changes to food and setting (some in response to customer feedback) during the course of an unusually lengthy soft launch.
So: what about the food? I have been to Vico five times now, first in soft launch (which doesn't really count) and more recently after proper opening. One part of a single dish was an out-and-out dud. The rest has ranged from good to pinch-me-I-must-be-dreaming fabulous. Deep-frying is a particular strength, both in dishes cooked to order and in arancini and polpette, deep-fried balls with daily-changing fillings. Pizzas feature thick but feather-light bases. Salads are dressed with care. Look out for tiella, a filled flat pastry with fishy stuffings based on tuna or salt cod.
Another unconventional feature is that you order by weight. In some restaurants, that can lead to bill-shock – especially if you're serving yourself and just like the look of everything. At Vico, the staff serve you – and they do not over-fill the plates (actually small steel platters, by the way). I never spent more than £12 a head, before drinks, for a lightish but deeply satisfying lunch. At dinner, with drinks from the very basic list (wines in carafe or beer), you could get yourself pretty well stuffed for £25 a head.
Would you want to do it while sitting on a plastic stool? Well, Vico is never going to win any awards for comfortable seating. But the stools are perfectly tolerable for a 30-minute lunch. And some evenings, we were informed, the place is so rammed that not only is every stool taken but some people literally vote with their feet: they eat standing up. So Jacob Kenedy's multiple challenges may pay off, whatever the 'ugh' brigade thinks.
I love Bocca di Lupo so jumped at the chance to attend an intimate lunch at Chef Jacob's newer venture, Vico, with a select group of friends and industry peeps. The lunch was a celebration of life, and apparently life is all about steak and wine! We had five different types of steak, each paired with a wine courtesy of Liberty wines, with a side of the best beans I've ever had in my life!
The food, wine and company were complimented by the surroundings. Vico is a light, bustling restaurant with a friendly atmosphere and beautiful decor. The staff match the vibe of the restaurant - I felt as if they were welcoming me into their home! Overall, I cannot recommend Vico enough - lunch, dinner, or a quick stop for gelato, it's a central London gem.
If you're sick of sandwiches from chains for lunch, give Vico a try. Delicious Italian food unlike any other lunch option, and great for pre-theatre dinner. Worth a trip if you're in and around Soho.
What a gem in Leicester Square! This place is going to get a lot of walk in because of its location but if you get the chance to book, it is really worth a visit.
The service was earth-shatteringly quick and efficient, with starters arriving almost immediately and all of our group getting their mains at the same time, which is a rarity these days, particularly in London.
All the food was delicious, especially the Arancinis and Lasagnancino (deep fried lasagna!) which are worth going back for alone! I forgot to ask what was the house red wine they served but it was amazing, really fruity and full bodied, without being acidic.
My only negligible disappointment was that the spicy "Devil" pizza, though marked as very spicy, didn't live up to the towering inferno I was warned against, hut it was still beautifully prepared and very filling.
Again, negligible and not enough to stop this being one of the most fun and enjoyable dining experiences of the year so far. Well done Vico, we'll be back again and again!
This place is BUSY because of its location opposite (sort of) to Palace Theatre (currently showing Harry Potter & the Cursed Child) so they have guaranteed customers for AGES! Although I was seated straight away I was not asked to order for a good 10min as it's just rammed with pre-theatre crowd (myself included) and tourists... ugh. Anyway the menu for me really lacked good veggie options... I really struggled to order and I'm not even that fussy! Worst thing is what I ordered turned out not to be vegetarian- double ugh!
Relaxed and friendly but the food here is AMAZING! Plus a very reasonable pre theatre.
MAMA MIA! what a pizza, not to mention an uplifting musical. This was almost as good as Pizza Hut, but, as with Harvester, the unlimited salad bar just edges it.
There's not much Jacob Kenedy can get wrong. So if you're a fan of Bocca Di Lupo, Vico will certainly get your tastebuds going. Situated in the hustle and bustle of Cambridge Circus where the edges of Soho, Shaftesbury Avenue and theatres collide, this little gem isn't shy of being noticed. Add word of mouth into the mix and it's no surprise Vico is growing in popularity. I for one am now responsible for the word of mouth recommendations after my recent visit. And when you go, I'm sure you'll follow suit.
I was lucky enough to attend a special spring tasting, celebrating foods that fuel life. With five different cuts of beef ready to satisfy guests, this was a celebration like no other. For a few hours I was transported to what felt like a boutique plaza in the heart of Tuscany. I'm not sure any other London restaurant has the power to do that. The lovely staff and wonderful host, Matt, ensure you're well looked after too – well, it wouldn't be a true Italian establishment otherwise, would it?
Only the finest produce hits the Vico kitchen, each cooked to absolute perfection. I'm a firm believer that every great meat needs a wine sidekick. And luckily for me, Vico share the same ideology. Their selection of red, white and dessert wines are truly sensational. Vico are, without doubt, absolute masters of vino matchmaking, so don't let their expert advice go to waste when you visit.
Ultimately, if you're after an uplifting atmosphere, a passion for taste and an understanding of what it is to create a truly authentic sitting, this is your place. Finish your meal with a scoop or 4 of adjoining Gelupo's creamy, sensational gelato and you can expect to be hungry again in about five and a half days time.
Looking for some great service, atmosphere and excellent Italian food? Give Vico in Covent Garden a try! I think I walked past it many times without noticing, which was my loss! My meal was fabulous and I watched as other meals went by, everything looked absolutely amazing. I recieved top notch service I felt like I was in an Italian family home being pampered. The Fontodi olive oil was the best I have ever tried. And if you like red wine, I would recommend the Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve. If you aren't in the mood for a meal check out their gelato bar opposite of the seating area. The gelato I had was amazing and there are so many other things to try. The hot chocolate is next on my list!
Absolute gem of a restaurant in central London that gives me faith along the Charing Cross Road strip (too many horrid chains, its time to move on guys).
The pizza has a great chewy base and charred crust, perfect red sauce and really high quality toppings. The sausage pasta is a real comfort treat if you need a bowl of hug I would highly recommend. There is a range of fresh and seasonal salads dressed to perfection... basically I love everything I have tried so far!
The service is friendly and its a lovely atmosphere, being in theatre land they are conscious of quick turn around on post work tables so its super convenient if you are out in soho/convent garden and hitting the town.
We had a Vico delivery in the office recently and it was great quality Italian food, great pasta and salads with authentic Italian tastes. The lemon Polenta cake was really lovely. Located on Cambridge circus, ideal for a low key mid week meal or lunch.
When Italians like food from a restaurant claiming itself as "Italian" you can trust it's a good one. That's the case with VICO.
The pasta al pesto (both rosso and green) is just amazing. I specially like the one with pine nuts.
The parmesano and mozzarella cheeses are incredibly good. Same thing with the cherry tomatoes and the olives.
I tried tiramisu for the desert and was excellent.
By far the best Italian place to eat in the centre.
Have since been to eat in the restaurant itself, I can say this restaurant has poor choice and is crazy over-priced! We spent around £54 each for a shared starter, 3 glasses of wine and 2 mains and 1 side, this was also with a 30% discount off the total menu.
The shared starter was lackluster and underwhelming, only the tuna tartare was worth mentioning. My main was sea bream and arrived under-cooked and even though I'd specified grilled it came out as soggy, oily and baked. The side of garlic potatoes was very obviously reheated/re-fried potatoes, the other side salad was just chopped romaine lettuce and was refunded seeing as both our main's came on a huge bed of romaine lettuce.
The staff were warm and friendly and happy to offer advice on the menu, but this isn't enough to make a worthwhile visit. In summary this is a great place for catering, but I would not recommend going there to sit in and eat.
We were very lucky to have Vico deliver food to our office. Incredibly tasty, full of flavour, Italian inspired food. The food oozes freshness, everything about the food is great. Now I'm looking forward to visiting a restaurant. They have a set a very high standard, can't wait.
Very good food, although you might end up paying more than you expect as some of the items go by weight. Their gelato is outstanding, eg rice flavour and ricotta and coffee flavour.
Delicious italian style munchies here great for lunch time if you fancy something different from your usual pret sandwich. also their pizza's are one of the best around soft crispy and light i could happily eat a whole one to myself. althought a bit pricey for an everyday treat it is well worth the money to make your belly happy.
The food and drink was very tasty, I ordered the tuna steak which just melted in my mouth. The menu is interestingly different from a lot of Italians. The service was friendly, and I will definitely be returning.
There is also a large ice-cream counter.
You have got to try the Lasagnancino at Vico. A dish that catches your eye on the menu, after all what is not appealing about deep fried lasagna that you can ignore. Great service, fast and tasty hot food. You will go back for more.
Great pizza, great wine, great location. I'll be back!
Great food, the gelato cake is amazing !! Lovely team. I recommend that place.
Whilst serving very good Italian food, Vico also manages to stay original with other indulgent delights such as their deep fried Lasagna balls, or 'Lasagnacino' - it would simply be rude not to order these on your visit.
The restaurant is perfect for a first class and decently priced lunch or pre-theatre meal, or an evening aperitif with a selection of antipasti. Burrata is always a winner, and so are their arancini balls. Pizzas are also perfectly thin and crispy, italian style - one of that chain rubbish!
Staff are consistently lovely and welcoming, and the location of the restaurant means it's always buzzing with a great atmosphere.
Very good selection of food (especially the soft shell crab) and they have created a great ambience in the middle of a busy intersection.
If you have already been to Vico and not enjoyed the experience of eating Italian food on a cardboard plat while sitting on a plastic tool without a back, then you must go back! Indeed, this place which initially opened and offered an Italian fast food experience has totally revamped its space and turned into a classic Italian sitting restaurant over-viewing Cambridge Circus. The food is simple and delicious and the restaurant sets in a modern laid back atmosphere. You must try the pizza, arancini and antipasti! This is a very good and affordable option to dine after theatre or lunch if you are around this part of London to take a break from the constant mad crow of Soho!
Went back to Vico for diner, and I must say the food is outstanding! the pizza dough is light and fine, cooked to perfection in their oveen fire, its even burnt on the edge which gives a special taste. I tried the Devil (fiery!!) and the rucola (delicious!). On the pasta front, I recommend the orecchiette and pesto gnocci. Go prosecco all the way, try their original cocktails and dont forget deserts, Gelupo is behind the ice cream making and they are one of the best in London!
So I am back on my favourite website to post again about VICO which is probably my favourite italian restaurant in town at the moment! The menu changes on a regular basis so there is no way you will get bored with the traditional margarita pizza and the appian cuisine is packed with flavours and tasty ingredients. The staff is so nice you feel always very welcomed, it makes you feel very special. I totally recommend this place if you have not tried it yet! Go the appian way!
Vico Vico Vico... I love your delicious food! Autumn menu is now available in your plates...you should rush to Vico and try their new delicious pumpkin salad! I organised my husband's birthday party, a party of 12, staff was amazing as usual, food delicious, atmosphere buzzing... this place totally delivers price/food qualify on both count!
Vico follows the seasons and pumpkin delica is now on the menu beautifully dressed in a salad or in a tasty pasta dish...delicious!
I don't really know how to sum this place up but I guess it's kinda like an Italian … buffet type fast food joint? Been a couple of times now and the second time round was not as great as the first. The food is priced by weight instead of by item which was really odd, so you can't really budget for eating here!
I've tried the squid, truffle and famous lasagne arancini with the mint courgette salad. When I first went, the arancini were delicious; huge, warm and oozing with cheese when you cut into them but the second time they were tepid and bland and the salad was smothered in mint and olive oil.
The restaurant (can you call it a restaurant?) itself was nice, massive so you're bound to always get a seat and chilled atmosphere.
I'd probably pop in to try the arancini again but the "cooked to order" food was very expensive. Give it a look before the theatre maybe!
Now with table service! Vico is the ideal place to discover Italian food from across the "comuni" re-inventing the Italian kitchen - The Secondi Tiella Barese from Bari, a mix of mussels & rice is inspiring, the fried squid is plain so opt for Fried Lasagnancino invented in the London "comune" of Cambride Circus. Prosecco all the way.
What can I say... All the drinks including the prosecco were on draught which was highly suspect and provided the worst headaches ever! I liked that there were hot snacks to graze on and they were tasty but they had stupid rules like you must buy two of the arancini or three of the other type of arancini but u can buy one of another kind of arancini! Why? I wanted one of everything! Ughhhhhhhh! Then the lighting - it's just sooooooo bright u think they are closing up. If they could just relax the rules, slightly dim the lights it would be awesome.
So overpriced and so confusing...I don't know if they've changed the format but when I went everything was priced by weight so there was no indication of the cost of what you were buying until you get to the till. That's about the point at which you find that it's really expensive. Don't get me wrong the food was pretty good but for a street food "format" which means there's no formal seating/table area (just stools and standing) it's over priced in my opinion.
Nice space and great location. The drinks are cheap, however cannot be purchased without food which isn't entirely clear from the outset. Beware: the food is priced according to weight so it adds up very quickly, but it is tasty; I'd definitely recommend the arancini. Vico is perfect for a post-work bite.
Fun venue and concept, cheap drinks, but overall I felt a bit unsatisfied. The table/bench we where sitting at was awkward, the pizza was cold (I know this was the idea, but somehow it didn't work), the salad was a bit sloppy, slimy and tiny with too much dressing.The arancini balls where ok, but nothing mind-blowing. Still I know I will probably end up going back as its a fun place for a quick bite.
This takes a few visits to get used to as it's a little befuddling. Persevere though, as the food is really very good indeed and the prices can make a cheap lunch here easy. Make sure you nip (kind of) next door for some of the best ice cream in London!
The whole experience of visiting this place was infuriating. Odd pricing structure, cold pizza, withering "fresh" fish and a dining area supposedly resembling an Italian piazza. If the staff don't understand the process what chance do customers have. £3 for a sliver of pizza, £4.50 for a small box of salad. Other items paid for by the gram. Whilst the arancini wasn't bad the rest of my visit to Vico was as painful as it gets. Apparently the ice cream is good but no doubt they'll have gone bust by the time next summer rolls around. Still, it's Cambridge Circus location should ensure they trap a few clueless tourists for a short while yet. Spare yourself and go 20 yards down the road to Polpo instead.
Love it! Super casual and relaxed. It isnt the fancy surroundings of Bocca di Lupo but it never claimed to be. The food is fantastic quality and generous portions! The salads are always unusual and delicious, not a dry chicken Caesar in sight! The lasagne arancini balls are to die for and to finish it off you can pop over to the Gelupo stand! Perfect for a quick bite to eat pre- or post- theatre, when you want to meet a friend for lunch or on the way home from a night out when dodgy McDonald's just isn't quite what you are after!
with all the hype that this new restaurant got as the new venture from the owners of Bocca di Lupo, we were left severely disappointed. This is a far cry from the excellent Bocca di Lupo, which is sad because there are so many good things going for it like the location and the concept. However, many of the dishes came cold, the meats were dry and tough and the staff was not the most attentive.
P.S. we went during the soft opening phase so maybe not everything was nailed down yet. I sincerely hope that it improves after the official opening.

The American designer Stevie Boi came in early November to LISAA Fashion in Paris to share his experience with freshmen. The opportunity to revisit his career, his fashion lessons and his point of view on the current issues of the sector. An intervention much appreciated by young designers.
ADVICE TO YOUNG CREATORSThe fashion school of LISAA Paris welcomed on November 5th Stevie Boi , American designer known for his glasses worn by Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Madonna, Elton John or Beyoncé.
To the students of first year Fashion design-model , Textile Design and Fashion Design & Business , Stevie Boi is back on his career, his experience in the fashion business and shared his views on current issues: the business , the reputation , the use of social networks and training .
His advice to the young creators of LISAA: to have audacity , to think outside the box, to be impertinent and above all, to have personality ! The students were delighted with this exchange, rich in lessons on the world of fashion and the creation of a brand with an accessible and relevant designer.
AN ATYPICAL COURSEStevie Boi is a self-made designer who has lived most of her childhood in Europe. He explains to the students that he would probably have been better armed had he been trained in fashion.
At the origin of his success, glasses that he customizes and wears during his club outings. One night, a star borrows them and takes pictures with them. It's the instant buzz. When Stevie returns home, he has received hundreds of orders and must momentarily close his website to focus on production. He finds himself propelled into the business of fashion.
Today, he still creates glasses under the brand name SBShades as well as clothing collections in collaboration with brands.
Now this is amazing the fact that you traveled all the way to Paris to teach classes is amazing. You are seriously loved.
You are so nice. It was nice meeting you.
How do I get those glasses you made for Rihanna? I cant find them anymore. I lost the ones you made for me.

Eng. Women In Aus/NZ
Fourth England-New Zealand Women ODI Abandoned
The fourth ODI between England women and New Zealand was abandoned due to inclement weather. After a full first innings the rain arrived just after the interval and continued until the umpires called the game off at 5pm. England captain Charlotte Edwards had initially won the toss and elected to field on what started as a warm, sunny morning in Lincoln. Caroline Atkins was back to full fitness and replaced Beth Morgan in the side. Haidee Tiffen is still injured for the hosts, so Aimee Mason continued to captain the side. Ros Kember was omitted in favour of Lucy Doolan, who played her first match of the tour. England opened the bowling with Katherine Brunt from the city end. She started strongly going for just one from her first over, bolwing in tandem with Isa Guha from the pavilion end. White Ferns captain Mason opened the batting with wicket keeper Katey Martin who was moved up the order from eight. The two kiwi openers got off to a strong start, scoring quickly as they looked to post a high total to defend with rain forecast and Mason hit a six in the fourth over off Guha. They continued to find the boundary and together posted 109 for the first wicket, hitting ten fours and one six. The hundred partnership came up from 89 balls in 59 minutes. Nicky Shaw was brought on first change for England for Brunt while Gunn replaced Guha at the other end after eight overs. Shaw bowled two overs and went for 17 runs and Steph Davies was brought into the attack in the 13th over. After the first drinks break Davies got the breakthrough England were desperate for as she bowled Mason for 68 on the first ball of the 17th over. She went onto complete a wicket maiden, the only maiden of England's innings as Sara McGlashan replaced Mason in the middle. Laura Marsh, the off spinner, replaced Gunn at the pavilion end after the break. Edwards brought herself on in the 25th over and trapped McGlashan (12) leg before on the second ball of her second over and New Zealand were154-2. Edwards' next ball was a no-ball and Cronin-Knight, coming in at four, got off the mark with a boundary. She added just one before she was caught at cover by Claire Taylor off Edwards' bowling for five. As Sarah Tsukigawa headed to the crease the hosts were 167-3. The following over Tsukigawa was caught behind by Sarah Taylor off Marsh's bowling without scoring. With New Zealand 168-4, Amy Satterthwaite headed out to the middle. She made two before being run out as a result of miscommunication between the batters. Martin, on strike, didn't move and Edwards knocked the bails off from a throw in by Davies as Satterthwaite went for a run that wasn't there. Nicola Browne joined Martin who was unbeaten on 70. Gunn came back into the attack in the 35th over and claimed the wicket of Martin, clean-bowling her for 79. Brunt was brought back on in the 39th over from the city end to bowl her second spell at Browne and Beth McNeil who came in at eight. In the 44th over Gunn bowled McNeil for nine and New Zealand were 216-7 as Sophie Devine headed out. As the wind picked up and black clouds loomed overhead New Zealand's lower order continued to score putting extra pressure on England's bowlers. Edwards bowled Devine for 12 in the 47th over, bringing Lucy Doolan to the crease. In the final over Browne was run out for 34 and Rachel Candy joined Doolan to see New Zealand through to 258-9 from 50 overs. England's bowlers gave away 30 extras throughout their innings. The pick of England's bowlers was captain Edwards who took 3-47 from her quota of ten overs. Gunn took 2-48 from ten and Davies and Marsh took one apiece. As the players took to the field after the interval, the rain started and play was abandoned without a ball being bowled in the second innings. The final ODI in the series will be played tomorrow. © ECB

Ford GT And CGR Team UK Enjoy Successful Sebring Test
by Sam McEachern
— Mar 11, 2019
Ford Chip Ganassi Racing Team UK led Day 1 and Day 2 of this past weekend's private FIA World Endurance Championship test Sebring International Raceway.
Potentially benefitting from setup data provided by its American counterparts, which race in IMSA and compete in the 12 Hours of Sebring annually, The No. 66 and No. 67 Ford GTs went 1-2 in both Saturday's and Sunday's open lapping sessions.
The No. 67 Ford GT of Harry Tincknell, Andy Priaulx and Jonathon Bomarito led the Day 1 practice session in the GTE Pro class with a time of 1:58.318. The No. 66 Ford GT sister car of Stefan Mucke, Olivier Pla and Billy Johnson was second with a best time of 1:58.492.
Day 2 of the test was also led by the No. 67 and No. 66 Ford GTs, which turned in laps of 1:57.411 and 1:58.114, respectively.
The No. 92 Porsche trailed the two Fords in third in GTE Pro on Day 1 with a lap of 1:58.567. The No. 51 AF Corse Ferrari was third in GTE Pro on Day 2 with a time of 1:58.328.
The fastest time of the weekend overall was set by Mike Conway, who turned in a time of 1:41.152 in his No. 7 Toyota TSO50 Hybrid LMP1.
The WEC has not visited Sebring since 2012 and many teams have never run at the bumpy and taxing American track. A fire for the GTE Am Project 1 Porsche 911 and a crash for one of the SMP Racing BR1 LMP1s marred the weekend practice sessions, while the Racing Team Nederland Dallara LMP2 also went for a small spin at one point.
The first official practice for the FIA WEC 12 Hours of Sebring is scheduled for Wednesday, March 13th. The race is scheduled to go green on Friday, March 15th at 4:00 p.m. EST and will end in the early hours of Saturday morning before the iMSA 12 Hours of Sebring kicks off later that day.

We create tailor-made incentive trips with every detail considered – making them a truly memorable experience.
The unique combination of high-class accommodation and excellent restaurants in Reykjavik with fascinating nature just outside the city allow a wide range of activities even for a short stay – all year round.
When an international financial company chose Iceland as the location of their incentive travel program, Iceland Congress embraced the opportunity to showcase the country as an extraordinary incentive destination. Over 400 people from more than 25 countries experienced Iceland's incredible landscape, challenging activities, cuisine prepared by award-winning chefs and unique culture. Participants left the experience with new-found relationships and memories that will last a lifetime.
With the theme, "On Top of the World," Iceland Congress knew that the event had to be extraordinary and set out to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the moment guests arrived in Reykjavik, they had the sense that the program was created especially for them, adding to the exclusive nature of the event.
On short notice, Iceland Congress also negotiated a buy out for the same night on three of the best and most popular restaurants in Reykjavik. These are evidence of the magnitude that the program had on the region and has helped to set a higher standard for future incentive trips to Iceland.
The strong program in Iceland has already had direct impact on the qualification numbers for the next year program with an increase in sales figures immediately following the program. In a post-event survey, participants rated the program 4.73 out of 5.

CCTV contractors must now be licensed for clubs & pubs
Any licensee employing an unlicensed CCTV or Access Control contractor is now breaking the law and will be subject to prosecution as from the beginning of this month as contractors installing or maintaining CCTV systems and Access Control systems now require a licence from the Private Security Authority (PSA) to operate.
The extension of licensing to CCTV and Access Control is a major milestone for the PSA and marks the completion of licensing for contractors in the electronic security sector.
The licensing of these new sectors has been in development for several years and has involved consultation with all the industry stakeholders.
In order to obtain a licence from the PSA, a contractor must prove compliance with national and European standards, be tax compliant and undergo criminal record checking.
A licence granted by the PSA is valid for two years and a register of licence holders is available on the PSA website www.psa.gov.ie
It will now be an offence under the Private Security Services Acts to install, maintain, service or repair a CCTV system or Access Control system without a licence. Penalties range from fines of up to €3,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 12 months.
Similarly any person (includes householders and businesses) employing an unlicensed CCTV or Access Control contractor will also be breaking the law and subject to prosecution.
The PSA is the statutory body responsible for the licensing and regulation of the private security industry in Ireland.
The PSA already licences contractors who provide the following services:
Intruder Alarm Installation and Maintenance
Security Guarding
Intruder Alarm Monitoring
Employees providing Security Guarding and Door Supervision services must also be licensed.
There are currently in the region of 750 contractors and 27,000 individuals licensed by the PSA.
The next sectors for licensing are CCTV Monitoring contractors, Event Security contractors and Cash In Transit employees. These are scheduled to take place during 2013.

This may be my last post to the old server. I set the domain to move tonight, so tomorrow morning… Fresh beginnings!
I had a good cry tonight. I guess it was just sitting on my chest for a little while. I was watching the season premiere of "Six Feet Under", (morbidly…I am a fan of it). And at the end, when he's burying his wife once he's covered the ground over her body… he lets out this scream. I want to believe that the scream is universal for anyone who has lost someone who is irreplacable. It is this… frustrated scream of complete emptiness. There is NO answer. And there is no relief. And hearing him scream that way… I guess it triggered it off for me. And I cried. Luckily my baby was here to hold me and console me. And at first I wasn't going to let him. I was going to cart him off to his house so I could watch it in peace. I'm glad that he was here. Cause I would have stopped myself from crying again. But I needed to let it out. I have a headache I cried so hard. But it needed to happen. I worry about time too much. And how I spend that time. And how I feel that I'm on someone else's schedule. All the time. So I have to hurry hurry hurry for so & so to see something happen in my life because God knows how long they'll be here. It's a shame. Hastened decisions are always the worst ones.
Hopefully, this week will be much more productive than the last… I'm going to attempt to get some rest… beyond just sleeping… tonight.


ARNOLD, Md. (AP) — The first company to be licensed as a medical marijuana grower in Maryland has been fined for using banned crop-protection pesticides.
News outlets report the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission on Tuesday ordered ForwardGro to pay $125,000, destroy products produced before May 31 and issue refunds on certain products. The company has been placed on two years' probation.
ForwardGro products were removed from Maryland dispensaries with little explanation in October.
CEO Michael F. McCarthy resigned last month, and must divest his ownership interest. Company co-owner Gary L. Mangum has taken over as the company's acting top officer.
Mangum is a prominent supporter of Gov. Larry Hogan and served on his inaugural committee and transition team.

Bacteriophages are one of the many types of viruses, which are the most simple living things. When viruses infect animals, plants, or humans, they are called eukaryotic viruses, and they are called bacteriophages when they infect bacteria.
All viruses are very tiny microorganisms that can only be observed with a huge magnification by using a special microscope. Bacteriophages are very abundant; actually, there are thousands of millions of bacteriophages around us, although we cannot see them.
They live everywhere: in the soil, in the oceans, in our bodies, and also in food (we eat bacteria and bacteriophages every day).
But we should not worry about bacteriophages because they are harmless to all of us and also to animals and plants. Bacteriophages are only dangerous for bacteria because they need bacteria to reproduce.
The reproduction of bacteriophages is quite different from that of animals or plants. Their reproductive process, called the lytic cycle, happens very quickly; for some bacteriophages, it only takes 30 min!
If we were able to stop the process and see what is happening inside the cell, we would observe three different steps (See image above). At the end of the lytic cycle, the bacterium dies. Bacteriophages are, therefore, the natural enemies of bacteria.
In nature, both bacteria and bacteriophages are necessary to keep microscopic ecosystems working properly. This is similar to what occurs with animals, when the predator (fox) and the prey (hare) live together in the same place, despite being enemies.
Several bacteriophages seen under a microscope.
Yes, they are. We can use bacteriophages to kill bad bacteria in a way that is similar to the way we use antibiotics.
Moreover, bacteriophages have some advantages compared with antibiotics. For instance, antibiotics usually kill different types (species) of bacteria, while bacteriophages generally attack only one kind of bacteria.
As a result, bacteriophages that kill bad bacteria do not affect beneficial bacteria, and most of the time we do not want to exterminate all the bacteria, only the "bad guys." Of course, before we can give people bacteriophages as medicines, the bacteriophages need to be studied to be sure that they are totally safe.
Actually, a great number of scientists working on this research area have found other uses for bacteriophages. For example, bacteriophages can be used to clean hospitals or industrial surfaces, since they can destroy undesirable bacteria like disinfectants do.
It is also possible include bacteriophages in foods, which will work similar to chemical preservatives. Bacteriophages will wait in the food until some bad bacteria contaminate it and, like playing hide-and-seek, when the bacteriophages find their bacterial targets, they will catch them.

I had overheard whispers throughout the offices that Vogue VIPwas about to also unveil Vogue wrapping paper. Yes, Vogue wrapping paper! For the debut, Vogue took to its 125-year-old archives and is presenting papers covered in fluttering and flying butterflies created by the Parisian artist Christian "Bebe" Bérard and designs originally penned for the March 1937 issue by the illustrator Georges Lepape. Is there a better excuse to seriously consider upping your wrapping paper game this season?
While the holidays are usually focused on the gifts and not the gift wrap, this year, it's worth considering making the packaging as prized as the present. This holiday season, save the obvious gift wrap and opt for metallic speckled spools of twine by Terrain, sumptuous moss green grosgrain velvet ribbons from Minted, and offbeat pearly, glittery glass unicorn ornaments by Cody Foster & Co. To get you wrapping, shop our selection of 82 gift boxes, bags, and bows.

Ein Tauchseil oder Tauchleine ist ein Seil, das als Hilfsmittel beim Tauchen eingesetzt wird. Das Seil dient vor allem der Tauchsicherheit, beispielsweise als Ariadnefaden, um beim Höhlentauchen den Rückweg wiederzufinden. Beim Eistauchen und Apnoetauchen wird oft ein Führungsseil entlang der geplanten Tauchroute verwendet, mit dem sich der Taucher zusätzlich durch eine Sicherungsleine verbinden kann. Bei schlechten Sichtverhältnissen kann eine Partnerleine verwendet werden, um den Kontakt zum Tauchpartner nicht zu verlieren. Auch zur Befestigung von Signalbojen werden Seile eingesetzt. Beim Strömungstauchen im Wildwasser können Sicherungsleinen über oder im Wasser sinnvoll sein.

Beim Mitführen eines Seils als Teil der Tauchausrüstung wird es auf eine Spule aufgewickelt. Gelegentlich wird zwischen Rollen mit Kurbel (reel), die wie eine Seilwinde eingesetzt werden können, und einfachen Spulen (spool) unterschieden.

Llandrillo College back Blind Veterans UK
Students from Llandrillo College, Rhos on Sea, have been supporting Blind Veterans UK through the sales of donated items during their Enterprise Week.
Students have been organising raffles, name the teddy stalls, amongst other fundraising activities to raise money for Blind Veterans UK.
Regional fundraiser for Llandudno, Victoria Beech, said: "When I popped along to see the students are Llandrillo College yesterday and they seem to be getting on really well. We're really appreciative of their support."
Llandrillo college have supported Blind Veterans UK in the past, with a group of students tackling Wales's highest peak blindfolded! The trek up Snowdon took place in April of 2013 and 20 year old Matthew Roberts, who took part in the mammoth expedition said "As Blind Veterans UK has opened up a new centre in our local town of Llandudno, we felt it would be beneficial to raise awareness for this charity, as many local people might not know about its existence and the fine quality of services it provides to help veterans discover life beyond sight loss."
Victoria Beech, Regional Fundraiser said "The students have shown incredible determination and drive in choosing to organise such a challenging event. It has been a pleasure supporting them and we would welcome the opportunity to do the same for any other students wishing to fundraise for us in the future".
It is yet to be confirmed how much the students raised for Blind Veterans UK throughout their Enterprise week but we are very grateful for their continued support throughout 2013.
