La Ligue Europa 2020-2021 est la cinquantième édition de la seconde plus prestigieuse coupe européenne des clubs européens, la onzième sous le nom de Ligue Europa. Créée par l'UEFA, les éliminatoires de la compétition sont ouverts aux clubs de football des associations membres de l'UEFA, qualifiés en fonction de leurs bons résultats en championnat ou coupe nationale.

Le vainqueur de la Ligue Europa se qualifie pour la Supercoupe de l'UEFA 2021 ainsi que pour la phase de groupes de la Ligue des champions de l'UEFA 2021-2022.

La finale, le mercredi  au Arena Bałtycka de Gdańsk (Pologne), voit la première victoire dans la compétition du Villarreal CF qui bat Manchester United 11 tirs au but à 10 après un match nul 1-1 à la fin du temps règlementaire.

Désignation de la ville organisatrice de la finale
Une procédure de candidature est mise en place par l'UEFA pour l'obtention de la finale.
Trois pays déclarent leur intérêt avant le 26 octobre 2018 (l'Autriche, la Géorgie et l'Espagne). Seuls deux pays confirment leur candidature avant la date limite du 15 février 2019.

Le Stade Ramón-Sánchez-Pizjuán est choisi par le Comité exécutif de l'UEFA le 24 septembre 2019. Cependant, à la suite des perturbations dans le calendrier de la saison 2019-2020 causées par la pandémie de Covid-19, c'est l'Arena Bałtycka — qui devait accueillir la finale de la Ligue Europa 2019-2020 — qui accueille la finale. Séville accueillera alors la finale de la Ligue Europa 2021-2022.

Participants
158 équipes provenant de 55 associations membres de l'UEFA participeront à la Ligue Europa 2020‑2021.

La liste d'accès est modifiée dans le cadre de l'évolution des compétitions interclubs de l'UEFA pour le cycle 2018-21.

Nombre de places par association
La répartition pour la saison 2020-2021 est la suivante :
 Les associations aux places 1 à 51 du classement UEFA 2019 ont 3 clubs qualifiés (Le Liechtenstein, classé  mais qui n'organise aucun championnat cède ses 3 places au )
 Les associations aux places 52 à 56 ont 2 clubs qualifiés (changement par rapport à l'édition précédente, l'association 52 perdant un club et l'association 56 en gagnant un)
 Le Liechtenstein a 1 seul club qualifié, vainqueur de la coupe nationale, au lieu des 3 places auxquelles son classement lui donnerait droit si l'association organisait un championnat
 57 équipes éliminées de la Ligue des champions 2020-2021 sont repêchées dans cette compétition. Les équipes championnes de leur pays se rencontrent exclusivement entre elles lors de la phase de qualifications.

Règles de distribution des places par association nationale
Les places attribuées par association nationale vont par ordre de priorité :
 à l'équipe vainqueur de la coupe nationale ;
 aux équipes les mieux classées dans les championnats nationaux et non qualifiées en Ligue des champions ;
 à l'équipe vainqueur de la coupe de la Ligue (Angleterre et France).

Cet ordre de priorité détermine le tour préliminaire d'entrée le plus tardif en qualifications et pour la phase de groupes de la Ligue Europa. Les vainqueurs des coupes nationales des associations classées aux douze premières places du classement UEFA 2019 (Espagne, Angleterre, Italie, Allemagne, France, Russie, Portugal, Belgique, Ukraine, Turquie, Pays-Bas et Autriche), le quatrième du championnat de l'association classée cinquième (France) et le cinquième du championnat des associations 1 à 4 (Espagne, Angleterre, Italie et Allemagne) sont directement qualifiés pour la phase de groupes.

The Voice of the Narrator in Children's Literature: Insights from Writers and Critics
Charlotte F. Otten, Gary D. Schmidt
Greenwood Press, 1989 - Literary Criticism - 414 pages
As Otten and Schmidt note in their preface, voice is a broad metaphor. Thus the 41 essays in this collection provide varied approaches, examining point of view, focus, selection of details, tone, and even illustrations as part of the narrative identity. Eight genres, including picture books, fantasy, realism, and biography, receive separate study in generally brief articles by writers and more substantial analyses by critics. . . . In her contribution, Jill Paton Walsh describes contemporary criticism as an `impenetrable thicket of technical terms.' In most cases, the critics here avoid jargon. They speak clearly, offering practical criticsm accessible to anyone seriously concerned about narrative technique in children's literature. Choice
Although children's literature is now a recognized branch of English and American literature, much of the criticism of it has focused on teaching methodology, history, and basic exposition. Since children's books are no less a part of the literary tradition than adult books, there is room for new approaches to children's literature. While the importance of the voice of the narrator is emerging in criticism of adult fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, little has been written about this subject in children's literature. Examining the voice of the narrator can identify hitherto unexplored and unrecognized aspects of children's literature.
The essays in this collection were contributed by noted authors and critics. Their inquiry is divided into eight genres--the illustrated book, folk literature and myth, fantasy, realism, poetry, historical fiction, biography, and informational books--and each genre is discussed in terms of the authorial voice and the critical voice. Each of the essays works toward an understanding of how the voice of the narrator functions in a given work or in the larger corpus of an author's work. The result is not only a greater understanding of how specific authors shape their material and how authors use voice for particular effects, but also how the narrator differs functionally from one genre to the next. This unique essay collection is particularly suited for use in children's literature courses. Because the contributors are some of the most significant authors and critics in children's literature in English, it should also be part of any academic library's holdings in the criticism of children's literature in particular and literary criticism in general.

To the extent possible under law, Nina Paley has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to Sita Sings the Blues. This work is published from: United States.
Update Nov. 2010: Check out my new comic strip Mimi & Eunice!
Dear Audience,
I hereby give Sita Sings the Blues to you. Like all culture, it belongs to you already, but I am making it explicit with a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License updated 1-18-2011: CC-0 license ("Public Domain"). Please distribute, copy, share, archive, and show Sita Sings the Blues. From the shared culture it came, and back into the shared culture it goes.
You don't need my permission to copy, share, publish, archive, show, sell, broadcast, or remix Sita Sings the Blues. Conventional wisdom urges me to demand payment for every use of the film, but then how would people without money get to see it? How widely would the film be disseminated if it were limited by permission and fees? Control offers a false sense of security. The only real security I have is trusting you, trusting culture, and trusting freedom.
That said, my colleagues and I will enforce the Share Alike License. You are not free to copy-restrict ("copyright") or attach Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) to Sita Sings the Blues or its derivative works. updated 1-18-2011: Who am I kidding? I'm not going to use our broken legal system to enforce anything. The law is an ass I don't want to ride. I still don't want you to restrict derivatives or attach DRM or misattribute, but I'm not going to sue over it.
Some of the songs in Sita Sings the Blues are not free, and may never be; copyright law requires you to obey their respective licenses. This is not by my choice; please see our restrictions page for more.
There is the question of how I'll get money from all this. My personal experience confirms audiences are generous and want to support artists. Surely there's a way for this to happen without centrally controlling every transaction. The old business model of coercion and extortion is failing. New models are emerging, and I'm happy to be part of that. But we're still making this up as we go along. You are free to make money with the free content of Sita Sings the Blues, and you are free to share money with me. People have been making money in Free Software for years; it's time for Free Culture to follow. I look forward to your innovations.
If you have questions, please ask each other. If you have ideas, please implement them - you don't need my permission or anyone else's (except for the copyright-restricted songs, of course). If you see abuses, please address them, but don't get bogged down in arcane details of copyright law. The copyright system wants you to think in terms of asking permission; I want you to think in terms of freedom. We've set up this Wiki to get things started. Feel free to improve it!
I've got to get back to my life now, and make some new art. Thanks for your support! This film wouldn't exist without you.

Disobedient Media has consistently reported on the DNC Fraud Lawsuit and the disturbing, sometimes bizarre events surrounding the case. Though the suit was initially dismissed on jurisdictional grounds, that ruling is in the process of an appeal in the 11th Circuit appellate court.
Last week, the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the suit submitted a supplemental authority letter in the case, arguing that the DNC's suit against Russia was relevant to the DNC Fraud Lawsuit. The cited relevance was due to arguments made by DNC defense counsel that stated donors did not contribute funds based on the promise of impartiality by the DNC towards Democratic Party primary candidates.
However, as the Beck's submission points out, the DNC appears to have contradicted their defense by arguing in their separate suit against Russia, the Trump campaign and Wikileaks that the DNC experienced a severe drop in donations in the wake of WikiLeaks' publication of evidence that the DNC rigged the 2016 Democratic Primary. Bloomberg reports that Democrats raised half as much as Republicans in 2017: In other words, primary source evidence of the DNC's partiality towards Hillary Clinton has resulted in a steep decline in public donations.
Congressional investigators are reviewing 2017 testimony by Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, who said that "a human source from inside the Trump organization" had "decided to pick up the phone and report something" to the FBI.
Fusion GPS is a Democrat-linked opposition research firm which produced the infamous anti-Trump "Steele Dossier," compiled from a series of memos provided by former MI6 spy Christopher Steele and paid for in part by the Clinton campaign.
In other words – did Steele tell Simpson about the FBI's alleged mole in the Trump campaign?
Simpson's lawyer said in a January letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee that his initial testimony was accurate.
Mr. Simpson stands by his testimony," said Joshua Levy, Fusion's attorney in the January 18 letter. Levy had been asked in a January 11 letter whether Simpson's testimony about the whistleblower (and now potential mole) within the Trump campaign was a mischaracterization, as news reports claimed.


CVC4 still crashes regularly with Isabelle2016 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

>> I just noticed that I find reports of CVC4 crashing on my Mac (running OSX Sierra now) a few times per day.
>> I am not sure if I had this before or if this resurfaced with Sierra.
> Thanks for reminding me of this. I have about 12 unanswered emails on Isabelle Users which I haven't fully processed yet and Eugene's report is probably one of them.

I must say, I always use the repository version of Isabelle on my Mac, and I used to have many CVC4 zombies lying around (a symptom of the crash, I believe), but in the past N months things have gone quiet, so I'm wondering if something has improved on the Isabelle side.

"We may be encountering some rough spots ahead, so I'm going to turn on the fasten seatbelts sign..."
Evelyn runs the shuttle bus from the main Houston terminal to the Car Rental compound. If you see her, tell her we said 'hi'.
SXSW 2004: Part One
We'll start off by getting something out of the way: we booked our tickets way too late. It's a long story why, but the end result was that, 10 days we were supposed to fly to Austin, TX, we did not have our tickets. And this was a very expensive problem to have.
The Austerity Program, whose motto is "Too Big To Fail" has a lesser known moniker as well: cheapest individuals on planet Earth. Therefore, the plane tickets were not just going to hurt the APÕs bottom line, it was going to violate almost-religious beliefs.
Our travel agent friend told Justin - "you're in big trouble." Priceline told him that a round trip from NYC to Austin was going to cost $877 and they were the cheapest option by at least $100. Trying to be clever, he kept putting in ridiculously low prices on the "name your own price" part, trying to see if some computer glitch was going to give us tickets for $75 or something. This didn't work, and he could almost feel the contempt from the remote computers that regarded this price with thorough disdain.
So we drew a mental circle 200 miles around NYC and 200 miles around Austin, and began searching for alternate places to take off and depart. We'll make a long story short, for once: After a sweaty night of watching two or three options jump up hundreds of dollars in a matter of hours, we bought two tickets from Newark (kind of near NYC) to Houston (about 170 miles from Austin) for about $250 each. It would mean driving for about 3 hours, but here's a question - would you drive 3 hours twice to save $1200?
Yes you would.
And so did we, but we're getting ahead of myself. Due to a hectic weather disruption, we actually left from NYC's LaGuardia -
(Justin - named after the last good Republican mayor that this city has had, although the jury's still out on Bloomberg)
(Thad - the former mayor Giuliani, while not ideal in any way, had flashes of greatness that made him an overall good mayor)
(Justin - Thad, you're nuts. Crisis management skills notwithstanding, Giuliani was a terrible mayor and history will bear me out on this)
(Thad - A mayor is supposed to do three things: 1) Keep the streets safe; 2) Keep the streets clean; 3) Educate the tippie tais. Giuliani accomplished 1 and 2; NYC Mayors just received the responsibility of number 3. The only people who didn't like Giuliani were 1) Criminals; 2) Terrorists; 3) People who aspired to either 1 or 2. And history will bear me out.)
(nb: the AP is currently working on the definitive history of New York City local politics which will answer the much asked question: "Who was the best NYC mayor of all time?" Right now, most indicators point to DeWitt Clinton)
at 6:00 AM, which meant Justin picking Thad up at 4:30. We had one guitar, one bass, one rack unit with the drum machine and a few bags carrying clothes, cords and the pedals for the guitar. To be honest, we didn't feel like top shelf entertainment by the time we got onto the plane.
The plane took us to Detroit, where we switched planes. The Northwest hub at Detroit is one strange airport terminal. It's one really long hallway, with gates littered throughout, an indoor monorail to whisk people from gate to gate and nowhere to get a decent bite to eat. (Okay, that last one isn't unusual.) Justin wanted to stand at one end of the terminal, hurl a bowling ball down the nicely polished floor and then hop on the monorail and race the ball to the other end of the terminal. Thad wouldn't let him. And he didn't have a bowling ball, but claims that next time he's going to bring one.
So we rode the monorail to our connecting gate. After we got off, we were forced to walk by the gate for a flight leaving earlier than our Houston flight and going to Austin. There were people there who were obviously going to South by Southwest. It was, frankly, a little painful to see them.
When we got to our gate we found that our flight was delayed by a half hour or so. We got some crappy snack food and then stared at the 20 foot by 20 foot TV screen perched high above our gate like Big Brother. The TV had some sort of technical glitch, so it kept skipping in the middle of broadcasts. It was like watching Max Headroom while trying to keep it together on 3 hours of sleep. We can only imagine this is how the boys from Hydra Head feel most of their waking hours.
Anyway, the big screen was forcefully broadcasting CNN (of course), and it got Justin thinking - Ted Turner probably gets really excited every time he sees something like this. When you think about it, CNN seems more in its element broadcast on poor resolution gigantic screens. At least, that's the way it seemed at 8:45 in the morning.


Is there a birthday, an anniversary or a meaningful day coming up between you and your significant other? Some of us look forward to these celebrations. But if the truth were made know, we would realize that there are many who dread them! Why? Perhaps because of expectations not realized? Too often time, creativity, or financial restraints make it difficult to meet the expectations of a loved one? These celebrations are not intended to make anyone's life miserable. In fact there is more meaning behind the reason we have celebrations? They are ritualistic. And there is purpose in rituals.
First, it needs to be repeated.
Second, it needs to be coordinated.
And finally it needs to be significant to both parties.
If you have an event or something that is reoccurring in your dating, marriage or family, this is a ritual. Rituals have meaning. Rituals have the power to bond couples and families emotionally. But the main thing to remember is that it needs to be meaningful to both parties, or there is little value to the effort.
If you are one of those people who just can't seem to catch the vision of weekly, monthly and annual "ritualistic" celebrations, choose to make an attitude change. These rituals are important events that are supposed to happen in relationships. In the long run, these rituals will benefit you and your loved ones. Make the effort. Get your creative juices flowing…or do as I do, and get ideas from others who seem to thrive on such creativity. Surprisingly many of the most meaningful rituals just seem to evolve. For those that take more thought or research, it's surprising how creativity doesn't need a big price tag.


The weather is finally getting nicer and we hope you have been enjoying it – long may it continue! Paul Taylor, President of ESS Clean, shares with us "The Life of a Janitor" and says "Thanks!" for the work you do day after day. Please join us in congratulating our employee of the month and Service Award winners. Welcome to our Branches; Effingham – Joe LaVallie, Area Manager, Bloomington – April Blair, HR Coordinator, INDY – Jonathan Bower, Area Manager.

Tamara Rojo was one of the leading (and brainiest) ballerinas in the world when she retired early from the Royal Ballet in 2013 to become Artistic Director of the English National Ballet. This Le Corsaire is first HDVD to be released by the ENB under Rojo's leadership.
The ENB worked hard on this title. They were able to cast in-house dancers for all the named characters in the show. To beef up dancing forces, they included ENB School students and pupils from Tring Park, a grade school for children interested in fine-art careers. To insure the highest-quality content, they hired Anna-Marie Holmes, an independent choreographer with vast experience producing Le Corsaire all over the world. They recruited Bob Ringwood, an independent designer, to come up with gorgeous new sets and costumes. Neil Austin, an independent lighting expert, also came on board. Finally, to do the video, they hired the well-known film-makers, Chris and Ben Blaine.
The screenshots below leave no doubt that the show was a fabulous success for the live audience. But the video falls short with (1) serious resolution and PQ issues, especially in the long Act 1, and (2) a harsh sound tract.
Meet Conrad (the Corsaire or pirate chief) performed by Vadim Muntagirov (who was with the ENB at the time and is now a star with the Royal Ballet). Conrad has come to the capital to find his sweetheart Medora, who was taken away by a slave trader:
The Second Officer of the pirates is Birbanto (Yonah Acosta), who has already found a girlfriend (Nancy Osbaldeston) among the local ladies:
Lankendem (Dimitri Gruzdyev) is the slave trader. Here he and his men are drumming up interest in an auction of a bunch of beautiful slave girls. Lankendem has Medora, but he intends to keep her in his own harem:
Medora (Alina Cojocaru) peeks out of Lankendem's house:
Below the Pasha (Michael Coleman) arrives at the square to buy 3 girls. Now there are two things you should note about the image below as well as those above: the picture resolution is soft and there is a distinct yellow cast to everything.
I can't image why there should be a problem with resolution in a video made in 2014. The videos we are getting these days generally have wonderful clarity of detail. But I noticed weak resolution in this title even in the very first images showing the orchestra (in the relatively dark pit) playing overture music. My initial reaction was to check the disc to see if maybe I'd been sent a DVD by mistake.
The yellow cast is easier to grasp: it appears that Neil Austin saturated the stage in Act 1 with yellow flood lights augmented by white spot lights on the stars. The yellow light would be consistent with the colors in the Ringwood designs. Probably this all looked great live. But the yellow cast looks garish, unnatural, and unpleasant on my calibrated HT display. It also seems to lead to pasty, washed-out skin tones for the dancers. I next played the disc on a new, uncalibrated, inexpensive Vizio TV (used successfully for watching commercial TV). On the Vizio the yellow cast was even worse (with gold jewelry worn by the slave girls at the rear of the stage reflecting glare). This would suggest that subject title is not suitable to watch on a typical TV!
The yellow glare persists throughout Act 1 even if it at times seems reduced. For example, when the three Odalisques (Shiori Kase, Alison McWhinney, and Laurretta Summerscales) come on stage, I think each gets a white spotlight and the yellow background light is reduced:
Well, back to the story. The Pasha turns down the Odalisques. But he's more impressed by Gulnare (Erina Takahashi) and buys her:
But when he accidentally sees Medora, he is gobsmacked and buys her too:
Before the Pasha can go home, Conrad and his pirates attack both the Pasha and the slave traders. Conrad flees with Medora and the other slave girls (except Gulnare). Next, in Act 2, we see Conrad and Medora at Conrad's lair. The girls are safe, our yellow glare is gone, and the only problem with PQ now is a mild softness. Below are six images from the famous Corsaire pas de deux, only here it's a pas de tois of Conrad, Medora, and Conrad's slave Ali (Junor Souza):
Conrad is in love. He wants to give the pirate treasure to Medora and free the slave girls. Birbanto and the rest of the pirates fight Conrad for their share of the booty. In the confusion, Lankendem escapes and takes all the girls back to the capitol. In Act 3, the Pasha is delighted to have his Medora back. Smoking opium, he falls asleep and dreams. Soon we are treated to an incredibly beautiful Petipa-inspired white act:
Two touching close-ups:
The ENB has enough women in the corps to do a decent white act. But by adding student dancers (all drilled to perfection), Rojo and Holmes give this dream scene tremendous additional weigh and charm and they remind us of the greatest similar moments in such works as Swan Lake, Giselle, and Raymonda:
After the dream scene, the Pasha calls for Medora, and we get more yellow light. The figures in black are Conrad and the pirates in disguise. Soon there will be wild action galore, but I'll not spoil the ending for you:
You can see for yourself how much good work went into this title. The casting, book, sets, costumes, choreography, and directing are superb. But something went wrong with coordinating the lighting and the videography, and it's such a pity that a substantial part of the video is marred by the defects shown here. In addition, the sound recording sounds harsh and dry to me. The score is an extreme pastiche and not something that many music lovers would want to hear separate from the ballet. I would assume that the ENB Orchestra is completely competent to play this music well. So I think the problem likely is a weak recording.
Sum up: this was an A+ production and should have been an A+ recording. But for weak sound I reduce the grade to "A-." For the problems with the video, I drop back to a B, provided you have a high-quality display. If you have entry-level player and display, you probably will not be happy with this disc. If you are a balletomane, you might overlook the Act 1 yellow problem and be happy with having the beautiful Act 2 and marvelous Act 3 dream scene.
Here's a clip from Act 2:

Brown Harris Stevens notes on Turnberry Ocean Colony South


Follow the wild, rugged and lonely road.
Just over two hours drive from Wellington, lies an empty stretch of unpaved road that cuts through harsh cliffs and includes a drop-off to the cold and angry water below; before finishing at a seal colony, overlooked by a lighthouse on a cliff top.
Hear more about Cape Palliser in my podcast, Travelosophy.
Standing on the shore at dusk, you can often see sharks, patrolling the coast, hunting schools of fish; from the beach throw a line and almost straight away, you'll catch a blue-cod that sit on the sandy bottom of the ocean.
A place so wild, you can go hours without seeing another person.
The lighthouse sits at the top of two hundred and fifty, near-vertical steps, but once you've made it, the view is spectacular. It's often windy, which keeps the clouds at bay, but sunsets offer fantastic silhouette photos, as blue sky turns to orange before hitting the horizon.
Steps up to Cape Palliser Lighthouse. Image by Jade Jackson Photography.
I often sat for hours, on the cliff-top (next to the lighthouse) feet dangling 200 metres above the rocky shore below; with only the wind and the ocean for company, breathing in it's salty wildness.
From up here, the ocean looks flat and lifeless, but the longer you watch it, the more it comes alive.
There's seals surfing into rock-pools, seagulls diving at schools of fish, waves that have travelled for days, landing softly onto rocky shores, bringing seaweed from far away lands.
It's easy to imagine voices, drifting on the winds; the tiny shrill songs of birds, easily mistaken for a child's laughter in playtime.
Every visit to Cape Palliser, I would always end up staying to watch the sunset. With it's contrasting burnt orange, and space-blue, even without clouds, the sunsets here were always incredible, and blissfully quiet.
View from Cape Palliser Lighthouse, New Zealand. Image by Jade Jackson Photography.
With so few visitors, it was easy to imagine, I was the last remaining person on earth, every stress-inducing complication, now non-existent. I'm always energised by nature and whilst I was living in Wellington, Cape Palliser was my go-to escape from life.
Once you turn off the main highway, at Featherston, the road to the coast was straight, virtually car-free and no matter the weather in Wellington, it always seemed to be sunny in Cape Palliser.
As the road meanders out of farmland, south towards the ocean; the expansive view, opens up like the opening scene of a movie, rugged and vast. Cape Palliser road then hugs the beach, with it's left-handed curls you could surf for hours, the waves all yours, all day.
Eventually the asphalt gives way to dirt before you arrive at a small fishing village, Ngawi a few kilometres before the lighthouse; here you'll find a camp ground, right on the water with 180 degree views of the Pacific Ocean (it was free the last time I stayed). There's only a toilet, and a short walk away, a little take-away shop serving hot chips, coffee and ice-cream out of a rusty caravan.
There's a couple of batches (simple accommodation) you can book online in Ngawi or if you prefer something more luxurious, there are modern hotels and guest houses in the winery region of the Wairarapa (which includes the towns of Martinborough, Greytown and Masterton). You could then do a day trip down to Cape Palliser. Billionaire film mogul, James Cameron bought up huge pieces of land not far from Cape Palliser and moved his family there from California, whilst working on the Avatar sequels. All so he could be within a helicopter flight from the Weta Studios in Wellington. Director Peter Jackson also shot some scenes from Lord of the Rings close to Cape Palliser.
Wellington is the closest major airport. New Zealand is easy to drive around because out of Wellington, there's only two roads, one that goes North East ~ highway #2 (going to Cape Palliser you want this one) and another road that goes North West ~ highway #1. There are lots of car rental places to choose from, the further from the airport you pick up the car, the cheaper it is. It's a narrow and windy road through the Rimutakas (mountain range) and the road is often closed due to high winds or snow so double check before heading out. Once you're back on flat land you'll arrive in a town called Featherston. There's no petrol stations beyond featherston, so if you need to fill up, do so here. Almost immediately there's a right turn-off to Cape Palliser and Martinborough. It's signposted but the road is called Revans St (aka highway #53). Follow this until Martinborough, turn right at Jellicoe St which eventually becomes Lake Ferry Road.
Every road trip needs a soundtrack, and for this I recommend the Piano Cloud Series. Listen now, or download all three albums, free for three months at Apple Music (click on the link).
Side note: The town of Martinborough is worth checking out, if you have time. It's a little winery village, set around a town square, with some great eateries and boutique shops. Once a year they have the Martinborough Festival which features market stalls, live music, great food and unsurprisingly, wine. Driving along Lake Ferry Road, after you pass the tiny cute church, before you hit the village of Lake Ferry, turn left, towards Cape Palliser, which will take you the rest of the way to Cape Palliser. If you miss the turn-off, it's not a big deal because Lake Ferry is only a 5 minute drive away. There's a pub in Lake Ferry which serves counter lunches and also offers accommodation. Take a picnic, a good book (might I suggest The Light Between Oceans) and leave all your drama behind, for none of it matters out here. Be in the moment, focus on what's around you, like seals frolicking in the waves or the wind whispering seductively in your ear. There's few places left, as remote and wild as Cape Palliser; that are within easy driving distance from a capital city. Make sure you put it on your bucketlist before it gets discovered by the masses.

Miners while working in underground mines may be at high risk of increased exposure to radon. Smokers exposed to radon are at greater risk for lung cancer than are nonsmokers similarly exposed. Due to differences in lung shape and size and faster respiration rates, children receive higher estimated radiation doses than do adults.
Working In A Coal Mine | Effects of Mining on Human Health .
Mining is one of the most dangerous industries for workers. While working in a coal mine, there can be multitude of risks to human health. It is vital therefore that employers know the hazards that they can reduce or eliminate. Download our Ebook to learn more.
Before discussing potential accidents and the health risks of mining, it is important to consider the average miner's work shift. Typically, a miner works a 12-hour shift underground. Most miners work in one- to two-week stints with only a day or two off during that period.
Underground miners face high risk of lung cancer death .
It shows underground production workers, including diesel loader operators and shotcreters, face the highest risk — and researchers are calling for strict controls to limit their exposure.
Health Hazards for Uranium Mine and Mill Workers - Science .
Risk of Cancer Incidence other than Lung Cancer with Uranium Mine and Mill Workers Two studies performed by Prof. W. Jacobi quantify the risk of contracting cancer other than lung cancer for uranium mine and mill workers, and provide data to determine whether an cancer incidence observed is related to earlier occupational exposure.
Miners in underground mines are at a risk of developing occupational disease or respiratory related issues caused by ventilation hazards and exposure to harmful substances. Radon is an odorless radioactive gas that can lead to lung cancer from long term exposure.
Coal Mining. Health effects from coal mining include: the release of methane (CH 4), a potent greenhouse gas estimated to account for 18% of the overall global warming effect triggered by human activities (CO 2 is estimated to contribute 50%).; the release of carbon monoxide (CO) from explosives, which pollutes the air and poses a health risk for mine workers.

"I want it and I want it now!" That isn't your 3-year-old talking - it's the voice in your head telling you how badly you need that new state of the art smartphone with all the bells and whistles (when you actually have a phone that works just fine). The fact that we have such easy access to credit and finance nowadays doesn't help when it's coupled with very smart advertising and marketing. A perfect recipe for disaster!
Can I survive without this loan?
There are times when applying for a Personal Loan makes perfect sense. But there are other times when it doesn't. Only you can answer that question, but answer it truthfully. If you are applying for a Personal Loan, to finance a lavish overseas holiday, but you can't actually afford to go on a lavish holiday, then you need to make the smart choice.
Loaning money is the easy bit. Committing to paying the money back, with interest, over a period of time is the hard bit. If you can comfortably afford to pay the instalments back every month then you have nothing to worry about. If you are battling to make ends meet and still need to find money to make sure you honour your loan repayment commitment then the decision should be an easy one - don't take the loan.
Am I getting the best deal possible?
Are you getting the best Personal Loan deal available to you with the best terms? There is no harm in shopping around before you commit. The terms of the repayments and interest charged should be critical in your decision making.
It's fair to say that the reason you are applying for a Personal Loan is because you don't have the money readily available for the purchase or action you are intending to use the loan for. Are there any other options available to you? Could you not tweek your budget, find a few cost cutting measures and save the money?
There are always going to be reasons for applying for a Personal Loan. If you need a Personal Short Term Loan for the right reasons then apply here today .

As part of its confirmed plan, Pacific Drilling will de-lever its balance sheet by eliminating over $1 billion of funded debt obligations.
Pacific Drilling S.A. (OTC: PACDQ) has announced that the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas confirmed the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Pacific Drilling S.A. and its Debtor Affiliates Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The company's chief executive officer, Bernie G. Wolford, said the court's confirmation of Pacific Drilling's plan represents an important milestone in the company's progress towards emergence by year-end with a fully de-levered balance sheet "and the capacity to deliver world class drilling services with our fleet of 6th and 7th generation drillships".
As part of its confirmed plan, Pacific Drilling will de-lever its balance sheet by eliminating over $1 billion of funded debt obligations and will have access to additional liquidity to operate going forward with approximately $100 million in cash on hand at emergence and an undrawn $80 million senior secured delayed draw term loan exit facility.
On October 30, Pacific Drilling announced that it had entered into a restructuring support agreement with the largest holders of the company's outstanding bond debt and filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
"Since the beginning of 2020, both the global health crisis caused by Covid-19 and the failure to reach international agreement on oil production cuts has caused significant disruption in economies and markets, including a substantial decline in the price of oil," Pacific Drilling states in a dedicate restructuring page listed on its website.
"The impact of these market conditions on Pacific Drilling's business has been direct and significantly negative, resulting in a dramatic reduction in contract drilling demand," the company adds.
In the statement, the company notes that it has adequate liquidity to ensure that it can purchase supplies, maintain its assets and pay its employees during its restructuring process.
Pacific Drilling delivers deepwater drilling services in the oil and gas sector. The company currently has seven modern drillships, according to its website.

Scuf Gaming Announces Partnership with Major League Gaming (MLG)
PRESS RELEASE – September 19, 2013: Scuf Gaming is delighted to announce a partnership with Major League Gaming (MLG) who have been a dominant force in the competitive eSports scene for over 10 years! Whether it's with their live events, or through their thriving online community within MLG: Play (formerly Game Battles; GB), MLG attracts millions of enthusiastic gamers from across the globe to watch and to play in their competitive online environment, bringing growth to the eSports world. Through the new partnership, Scuf will showcase their products via MLG online properties, events and more.
"We are delighted to be partnered with MLG, the leader in the eSports community," said Duncan Ironmonger, CEO & Co-Founder Scuf Gaming. "Since our humble beginnings we have always strived to become fully recognized as the premiere Gaming Controller Company so today is a big milestone for us at Scuf Gaming. Every SCUF controller is built with the gamer's personal preference and style in consideration. Since creating the SCUF Controller, we have worked extremely hard to support the professional and elite gaming community where we are now adopted by over 85% of the Top Pro Gamers. We have spent almost 3 years educating gamers on how to use paddles and on how to utilize more of their hand use, in a safe and ergonomic way; helping to enhance their gaming experience and skill during competitive game play. We love what we do and continually strive to improve and innovate for the Pro Gaming market. We feel privileged to be working with Major League Gaming as their commitment to excellence is unsurpassed and I personally can't wait for the year ahead!"
"We are excited to work with Scuf Gaming to further introduce their high-quality controllers to Major League Gaming," said Sundance DiGiovanni, CEO and founder, Major League Gaming. "Scuf has created a great, customizable controller that addresses the needs of gamers and we look forward to rolling out our partnership in the coming months."
ABOUT SCUF GAMING: Until the SCUF was invented in 2010, gamers could only use compromising techniques like CLAW to play with more of their hand. Using back paddles, which mimic the front buttons, Scuf Gaming has made it possible to display more dexterity in a safe, ergonomic way. We understand the limitations of a normal controller for Professional gamers, who need to control over 20 functions whilst they're in gameplay; making use of only 2 fingers and 2 thumbs is extremely limiting at the Top level. One size cannot fit all and will not fit all for the Elite 10% of the community. It can restrict the advancement of play, the games and their enjoyment; hence why some Professional players were eventually forced to use techniques like CLAW; which can be very harmful to your hand with repetition. The paddles and trigger mechanisms that Scuf Gaming developed and patented allow each player to choose their preferred settings for gameplay and help to make them become the best gamer of their ability.
SCUF controllers have become very well known in the Professional Gaming Community, especially after one of the most recent events; COD Championships in Los Angeles, where 126 of the 128 Pro-players competing were using a SCUF Controller. Most recently Scuf Gaming released the NEW SCUF Hybrid – make sure you don't miss out on your chance to own one. For more information, please visit www.ScufGaming.com
About Major League Gaming: Major League Gaming (MLG) (www.majorleaguegaming.com) is the home for online multiplayer gaming with a dedicated and growing community of 8 million gamers worldwide. MLG's premier online gaming platform is the ultimate destination for gamers to compete, improve their skills, socialize and watch video game programming daily via www.majorleaguegaming.com.

A very hardy variety that produces excellent quality leeks.
Fantastically sweet whether eaten as baby leeks or allowed to mature.
A very hardy variety that produces excellent quality leeks that are difficult to fault.
Harvested young, as baby leeks, these have a fantastically sweet flavour which doesn't falter if they are left to mature.
Leeks are arguably one of the most important fresh winter vegetables due to their hardiness. We've had Musselburgh literally disappear under several feet of snow for several weeks, and deal with temperatures as low as 5F (-15C), only to appear, unscathed, after the thaw!
Sow thinly in seed trays under protection January-March; or sow March-late April thinly in " (1 cm) deep drills 9" (23 cm) apart.
When approximately 8" (20 cm) tall lift the seedlings carefully and set out 8" (20 cm) apart in rows 16" (40 cm) apart by making holes approximately 4" (10 cm) deep, inserting the seedling and then filling with water, NOT SOIL.
Straighten up seedlings after approximately one week if required.
Leeks prefer a well-drained soil and a position in sun or part shaden.
To produce a greater amount of white stem earth up as growth develops.
Harvest as required, leaving the remaining crop in the ground.
An article on the basics of growing leeks written by Paul Peacock that appeared in the June 2007 issue of Grow It! magazine.


Middlebury College—ground zero for one of the most sordid censorship episodes of last year, the physical attack on Charles Murray and Alison Stanger—has announced a new policy regarding guest speakers. Proposed events will be evaluated by a Threat Assessment and Management Team; if the team feels that an event attracts an "imminent and credible threat to the community," it could be cancelled.
The policy, described an "interim" measure by campus officials, attracted criticism from at least one prominent alumnus, former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, who wrote on Twitter that Middlebury will "actually legitimize the heckler's veto."
He has a point. If protesters who oppose a certain speaker know that Middlebury will shut down the event if they threaten the community, this gives them an incentive to issue such threats. This is the heckler's veto: giving the hecklers the power to choose whether an event proceeds.
The policy suggests that such measures would only be put in place for "exceptional cases." But what's an exceptional case? The views Murray intended to articulate at Middlebury last year were perfectly conventional. He's no Milo Yiannopoulos—and in fact, he has specifically refused to share a platform with the former Breitbart writer. And yet students resorted to explicit violence to silence him.
"There are some places where the policy leaves open the possibility of censorship and could be improved to diminish that possibility," says Adam Goldstein, a legal fellow at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. "The policy says event cancellations may occur when there is an 'imminent and credible threat,' but doesn't specify what they mean by a 'threat.' People may interpret 'threat to the community' differently. Protests aren't a threat justifying suppression of speech, nor is speech offensive to some (or all) of the community a 'threat' that a university can suppress. If Middlebury intends to limit its policy to credible threats of imminent violence, it should say so. A university should make it clear that it will only cancel a speech, if ever, only as an absolute last resort to stop violence."
Goldstein is also concerned that the policy does not explain where the funds for increased security are supposed to come from. If Middlebury intends to pass these costs along to the students who wish to invite a controversial speaker, then officials would be inadvertently chilling speech.
It would be better for Middlebury to explain how it will protect speakers like Murray in the future—and what steps it will take to impress upon students the value of a robust exchange of ideas. Instead they may be enshrining a literal heckler's veto in the campus rules.
Anyone with a speaking engagement there should cancel, just to be sure.
Why have speakers at all? Just invite mimes.
Just watch them on YouTube or read their books.
On second thought, why go to college? Pretty much everything you need to know is online now for free.
Non-speech is also speech, and might be violent.
The policy suggests that such measures would only be put in place for "exceptional cases." But what's an exceptional case?
Threat level chartreuse or above.
Hey, that's my fishing nickname!
Whatever case makes the admins change to their brown pants.
What about threats *from* the "community," like with Murray? This policy could use more clarity.
These distinctions don't make a difference in assessing threats to an event. Will they allow a Murray event to proceed in spite of threats of disruption, but ban a Milo speech in the face of identical threats?
Anyone who disagrees with them is a White Supremacist/Nazi.
Wasn't it the Nazis who unleashed stinkbombs and mice into the theater in Germany for the screening of All Quiet On The Western Front?
Goldstein is also concerned that the policy does not explain where the funds for increased security are supposed to come from.
Require intimidators to submit a application to menace and pay a fee before making threats. Do I have to think of everything?
So no policy to expel students who make credible threats against Middlebury faculty and guests?
Kick them out, use their tuition to pay for security.
This is exactly what will probably happen in the highly unlikely event that a non-leftist student is stupid enough to try and threaten a leftist speaker. But conveniently, that's so unlikely to happen that they don't have to worry all that much about it.
Try to, not try and.
Suspend might be too nice. If it's a threat that raise to that level, criminal charges may apply.
It just goes to show you what a chickenshit school Middlebury College is.
These people make Ari Fleischer look good.
I just want to clarify…does that constitute informed consent?
Sure. It's like those "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" T-shirts.
Oh, no, I'm not falling for that one again.
Gaelic, with emphasis on the gay lick.
Will they cancel the policy if I make a credible threat of violence if they don't?
I'll bring the pepper spray if you'll bring the stink bombs. That should be credible enough for them.
They clearly haven't thought that far ahead. In fact… not seeing a lot of thinking on this policy at all. Just reaction.
Only in cases of imminent and credible threat to the community that cannot be mitigated by revisions to the event plan would the president and senior administration consider canceling the event.
"Revisions to the event plan"? Like arresting the perps of the "imminent and credible threat"?
My idea makes more and more sense: If the campus cops are chickenshit, federalize and appropriately-sized formation of Military Police from the National Guard.
If Middlebury intends to limit its policy to credible threats of imminent violence, it should say so.
They have not said so. Do the math.
The intent of a vague guideline is exercise of arbitrary power under color of the guideline.
Reward your friends. Punish your enemies.
Looks like more crap journalism from The Hair.
It's not just threats from students.
Nothing screams sincerity like vague, polysyllabic modifiers.
But of course, that was never their intention, was it?
What about a credible, imminent threat to the President and senior administrators ? Is not that what the second amendment is all about ? And if not competent campus police, where's the militia ? I do not understand the massive and widespread failure to deploy the remedies enshrined in the Constitution.
Or is this comment to be treated as "hate speech" ? I really do not know the idiots concerned (Pres and Sen. Admin:) so I do not "hate" them in any personal sense. I hate their misconduct, and criminally dysfunctional maladministration of the College in their charge – combined with the threat to abuse their authority and fail in their duties of care – but that used to be dealt with by tar and feathering.
Have Americans completely abandoned the traditions that made them great ? Shame !
Hmmm, don't expel students. Ban speakers.
Teach your students by caving in to mob rule, great idea.

You can checkout my blog post for a full setup with Node TS, Postgres and Docker for dev and prod builds.
https://yzia2000.github.io/blog/2021/01/15/docker-postgres-node.html

A: You can have an init script for creating the database and mount that init script to the postgres container.
Example -
db:
    image: postgres:12
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: liondancer
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
    volumes:
      - ./init.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sql
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

Create an init.sql file in the same directory as the docker-compose.yml file with the following contents -
CREATE DATABASE journey_development WITH OWNER=liondancer LC_COLLATE='en_US.utf8' LC_CTYPE='en_US.utf8' ENCODING='UTF8';

This init.sql script is executed whenever the container is created and a database will be created for you.
[Optional]
You can also create an user inside the init.sql using -
create user liondancer;
alter user liondancer with encrypted password 'postgres';
create database journey_development;
grant all privileges on database journey_development to liondancer;
