Moving Forward Together (MFT) is an Australian charitable organisation based in Sydney that promotes social harmony and the prevention of prejudice. The organisation was founded in 2005 and is led by Holocaust survivor Ernie Friedlander.

Harmony Day campaigns
Moving Forward Together promotes social harmony, commonly in conjunction with the annual Australian Government's Harmony Day celebrations. The group's Harmony Day  activities include community walks, poster competitions, songwriting competitions, and public exhibitions.

Moving Forward Together and its activities are recognised by Australian government members as well as by the government of New South Wales.

Hamony poster competition
Moving Forward Together runs an annual poster competition in New South Wales in conjunction with the annual Harmony Day celebrations with an emphasis on themes of pride and belonging. In 2016, competition posters were displayed at Parliament House, Sydney before being added to a travelling exhibition. In 2021, the poster competition involved submissions from over 5,300 students.

Stop Racism Now (campaign)
In 2021, the organisation initiated an anti-racism campaign titled "Stop Racism Now AU" which was launched by the Governor of New South Wales, Margaret Beazley , as well as other Australian parliamentarians. The campaign involves promoting messages of mutual respect and understanding as well as the development of educational materials for schools in New South Wales.

The Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ), the peak representative body of the Australian Jewish community, noted the campaign in its annual study of antisemitic activity in Australia following the rejection of the Stop Racism Now campaign by a student union based in the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). The ECAJ determined that the manner in which the student union rejected the camapaign's outreach efforts reflected a prevailing trend of anti-Jewish sentiment expressed by some progressive activists.

Carillion JV bags £1.1bn of MoD contracts
By Louise Dransfield2016-11-01T16:54:00+00:00
Works include providing accommodation for troops resettling from Germany
A Carillion joint venture has won £1.1bn worth of contracts with the Ministry of Defence.
Carillion, in joint venture with $7bn-turnover US contractor KBR, has won a deal to carry out building and repair work across the huge Army Basing Programme, which involves relocating 100 army units and the resettlement of all troops from Germany.
Works will include the design and construction of 130 new buildings, extensions and alternations to existing buildings, and associated infrastructure works.
Troops will be relocated at the Ministry of Defence's Salisbury Plain Training Area and at its Aldershot base.
Carillion chief executive, Richard Howson, said: "We are delighted that Aspire Defence Limited and its sub-contractors Aspire Defence Capital Works and Aspire Defence Services have been selected by the Ministry of Defence to deliver this major element of the Army Basing Programme.
"I believe this reflects in the successful delivery of new living and working accommodation along with associated assets for Project Allenby/Connaught, together with the high-quality, value for money services that will continue to be provided for this project."

Lock Them Up
By Kurt Osterberg · On April 18, 2018
Venezuelan military rule of the state runs oil company PDVSA took an ugly turn after the Venezuelan military arrested two Chevron workers for what they say is graft and corruption. This comes as the American Petroleum Institute (API) reports a trifecta of draws in petroleum supply, and Morgan Stanly warning that U.S. refiners have had their fill of light shale condensate oil, something we have been warning about as well. Despite record U.S. shale production, U.S. refiners have too much light shale oil and that is failing to yield the type of products that are very much in demand.
Major General Manuel Quevedo, the military leader that took over PDVSA last month toured a joint venture with U.S. major Chevron, according to Reuters and now is arresting their employees. Chevron Corp (CVX) said on Tuesday two of its executives were arrested. Reuters said that Venezuelan Sebin intelligence agents burst into the Petropiar joint venture's office in the coastal city of Puerto La Cruz on Monday and arrested the two Venezuelan employees for alleged wrongdoing, a half-dozen sources with knowledge of the detentions told Reuters.
"Chevron Global Technology Services Company is aware that two of its Venezuelan-based employees have been arrested by local authorities," Chevron said in a statement. "We have contacted the local authorities to understand the basis of the detention and to ensure the safety and well-being of these employees. Our legal team is evaluating the situation and working towards the timely release of these employees." Venezuela's Information Ministry and state-run company PDVSA did not respond to information requests about the detentions, which come amid a crackdown on alleged graft in the oil sector, according to Reuters.
This report comes days after reports of many oil workers quitting their jobs because of fear of working for the company that is under military rule. This is strange because I thought socialism was all about the worker toiling for the state in a worker's paradise. Looks like there is trouble in paradise.

Mr. Speaker, the fact remains that we continue to reduce taxes for the middle class. In addition to that, we have seen the lowest unemployment rate in nearly 40 years, and as a result of our investments, a typical Canadian family will be approximately $2,000 better off than under the previous Conservative government.
Our investments are working. Our economy is growing. We have one of the best balance sheets in the G7. These are commitments that are going to benefit all Canadians across this country.


Sound Transit has started conceptual engineering and environmental review on these improvements. This includes evaluating site conditions and refining configuration of the garage and nonmotorized improvements.
Sound Transit, in coordination with the City of Kent, is also preparing an environmental evaluation document, which analyzes potential impacts to the community and environment, and identifies proposed mitigation to address and reduce potential impacts. The environmental document is anticipated to be available for public review and comment in early 2019.
Reserved carpool parking: Sound Transit offers carpool parking permits to groups of two or more commuters who regularly drive together to catch the bus or train. Permits give you access to priority parking areas during the weekday morning rush hour. For more information, please visit our carpool permit webpage. A permit program for solo drivers is also being considered; stay tuned for more information.
Bicycle parking: Ever considered bicycling to the Sounder station? May is Bike Month, and a great time to try cycling. While bicycles are allowed on Sounder trains, we encourage our bicycling riders to take advantage of the bike parking available at all Sounder stations. For more information, visit our bike page, or contact bicycles@soundtransit.org.
King County Metro James St Park and Ride: This King County Metro park and ride is located about one-half mile west of the Sounder station (at 902 W James St), and is typically only one-third full. Several Metro bus routes (150, 158, 159, 166, and 180) pick up here and connect to the Sounder station. The lot is also about a 15-minute walk to the Station (via West James Street on the north or West Smith Street on the south).


I always appreciate hearing "Thank you for your service" when people learn that I served three tours with the US Army in Afghanistan. It's something that past generations of veterans rarely or never heard.
Yet important as this is, we New Yorkers still have much work to do to ensure that veterans and those still serving in the military aren't just appreciated, but also protected from discrimination here at home.
New York City's human-rights law is among the most progressive in the country, taking a stand against discrimination by age, citizenship, color, disability, gender, gender identity, marital or partnership status, national origin, pregnancy, race, religion or sexual orientation. It also prohibits employment discrimination based on arrest or incarceration record, caregiver status or credit history.
But as inclusive as we are, right now we're still failing to protect veterans and military members.
My organization, the NYC Veterans Alliance, hears often from veterans and their family members in the city about the discrimination they've faced. Landlords deny housing to veterans and their families, refusing to accept educational, disability or pension payments from the Department of Veterans Affairs as legitimate income.
Or worse, veterans are wrongly assumed to have psychological problems that landlords and employers will want to steer clear of.
Reservists and National Guard members — who make up 40 percent of today's armed forces — aren't hired by employers concerned they'll be called to active service, or they return to a job from military duty to lose seniority or be otherwise penalized for balancing their military duties with their jobs. Our veterans sacrifice to serve our nation; discrimination here at home simply feels like betrayal.
On April 26, the City Council will hold a hearing on Intro. 1259, which would rectify this by adding veteran and military status (summarized as "uniformed service") to New York's human-rights law. Federal and state protections already exist for veteran and military status, but this inclusion would be a powerful statement that our local leaders will work to end this discrimination.
Boston, Chicago, Miami and Seattle are already ahead of New York in recognizing the need to protect veteran and military members at the city level. Let's urge the mayor and City Council to catch up to these cities and prove that in New York, veterans and military members are wanted and welcome — and protected.
Kristen L. Rouse is the founding director of the NYC Veterans Alliance.

Judge: Guv's office ignoring open records request violated law, but ignoring questions didn't
By Andy Lyman | December 15, 2017
A New Mexico district judge ruled Wednesday that Gov. Susana Martinez's office violated the state's public records law, but did not break the law when ignoring or refusing interview requests with a Santa Fe newspaper. The Santa Fe Reporter was first to report on the decision from Santa Fe Pro Tem District Judge Sarah Singleton. Singleton ruled that the governor's office violated the state Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA) three times by failing to respond or responding late to public records requests. But, Singleton ruled that the governor and her staff did not violate the U.S. Constitution by refusing to speak to or answer questions from Reporter staffers. She not only said existing case law does not support the paper's arguments, but that the paper's questions aimed at the governor's office "were not comparable to the mundane requests made by other newspaper."
"The Reporter was requesting special treatment," Singleton wrote.
Closing arguments filed in lawsuit against Gov. Martinez
By Andy Lyman | July 5, 2017
Lawyers for the Santa Fe Reporter and Gov. Susana Martinez have submitted written closing arguments in a long-running court battle over public information and records. The Reporter sued Martinez in 2013, alleging she and her staff discriminated against the paper by refusing to communicate with its journalists and violated the state Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA) by refusing to turn over records related to pardons, her schedule and other public business. The paper's attorneys argued that the stonewalling began, ironically enough, after publication of a cover story critical of the administration's lack of transparency. The unusual case has received wide attention, including from numerous state and local news organizations and from the Columbia Journalism Review. A victory for the newspaper could set new transparency standards for New Mexico state government; a win for the governor would mean some vindication for an elected official who has touted hers as "the most transparent administration in state history."
A three-day bench trial in the courtroom of state District Judge Sarah Singleton of Santa Fe concluded in April, setting the stage for both sides' lawyers to sum up their cases in writing.
After alleging fraud, employees say state retaliated against them
By Joey Peters | July 8, 2016
LAS CRUCES —Two employees who testified in federal court about alleged falsification of food aid applications at the state Human Services Department have since claimed that the agency retaliated against them. [perfectpullquote align="right" cite="" link="" color="" class="" size=""]No ads. No clickbait. Just news. [/perfectpullquote]This is according to testimony from a federal court hearing this week in an ongoing federal lawsuit, where plaintiffs accuse HSD of instructing employees to falsely add assets to some applications for Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps.

Cabinet secretary testifies on alleged fraud allegations in his department
LAS CRUCES — The cabinet secretary of the state Human Services Department testified Wednesday that he didn't know of allegations of widespread fraud in the processing of food benefits applications within his department until they first became public in April. Nine employees previously testified in federal court in April and May about HSD's practice of adding fake assets to emergency applications for the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps. "I would never tolerate that or direct that," Earnest said. Related: After deadline, HSD report on alleged SNAP fraud still not finished
Earnest and his attorneys emphasized that HSD took immediate action end to put an end to the practice by sending a directive to employees reminding them to follow federal law and initiating an internal investigation of the matter. The remarks are Earnest's first public comments about when he first found out about the alleged practices that have rocked his department for the past two months.
New Mexico Human Services Department
After deadline, HSD report on alleged SNAP fraud still not finished
LAS CRUCES — After being under court order to hand in an investigation of allegedly fraudulent food aid practices last week, the investigator of a state agency testified in federal court Wednesday he was "not there yet" in completing his report. But Gallegos also acknowledged to Center on Law and Poverty attorney Sovereign Hager that potential wrongdoing "may be more egregious" than anyone perceived. While the state Human Services Department submitted the internal report to court last week, the department's inspector general, Adrian Gallegos, told the federal court that he still hadn't interviewed at least ten upper-level staffers. Employees at HSD testified in court and told Gallegos that these 10 staffers played a key role in the sanctioning of regularly adding fake assets to applications for emergency Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps.

USDA investigating HSD's alleged problems with food benefits applications
By Joey Peters | June 24, 2016
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is now investigating allegations of fraud in emergency food aid processing at the New Mexico Human Services Department. According to notes from a June 16 conference call in a federal lawsuit, HSD lawyers told a federal judge that "the USDA has officially opened an investigation of HSD and will be sending an investigator to Santa Fe."
The court meeting came one day after all of New Mexico's congressional delegation signed a letter asking for an investigation into allegations of a practice at HSD of adding fake assets to the applications of emergency Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program (SNAP) benefits. According to court testimony of nine HSD employees, the department instructed workers to add fake assets to deny applicants emergency benefits, which must be fulfilled within seven days instead of the 30 days of standard SNAP applications. Employees said HSD did this to clear a backlog of late emergency applications for SNAP, the program formerly known as food stamps. The allegations came in part of an ongoing lawsuit from the Center on Law and Poverty that faults HSD for not following federal law in its processing of SNAP and Medicaid applications.

State brought in the big guns for latest SNAP hearing
By Joey Peters | May 31, 2016
After damning food stamp fraud allegations surfaced in federal court in April, the state brought on a high-profile Albuquerque law firm. A later court hearing earlier this month marked the first time that Paul Kennedy, a former State Supreme Court justice and frequent lawyer for Gov. Susana Martinez's administration, made a formal entrance in the decades-old Deborah Hatten-Gonzales v. Human Services Department lawsuit. Kennedy made a formal entrance into the Hatten-Gonzales case on May 12. Daniel Yohalem* is an attorney representing part of the Center on Law and Poverty's legal team who has been working on the Hatten-Gonzales case since 1996. The May 13 court hearing was the first time Yohalem said he'd ever seen Kennedy on the case. Originally filed in 1988, the Hatten-Gonzales lawsuit alleged that the state was mishandling its processing of applicants seeking benefits from Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program (SNAP), better known as food stamps, and Medicaid.

I can't believe how much better this has made my van. I thought it was labouring to start but it was just a tired old battery. This is an upgrade as well as new as I do lots of short trips.
Excellent service,arrived next morning,just as promised,brilliant.
Great service. Fitted to VW Transporter on a 08 plate. What a difference.
Car starts quickly again. battery can start engine cold without radio cutting out. Let's hope it lasts. OEM battery lasted 8 years.
Fast delivery (over Christmas!) and perfect product at the very best price!
Have used Tayna for years, Excellent service. Fast delivery. Spot on every time.
Excellent product. Terminal covers great for ensuring no accidental connections. Admitedly the handle is something you don't use very often but as I was fitting to a classic car needed to fit and remove several times. The handle clips into the down position and you need strong nails or a screwdriver to lever up. Minor design flaw really but a bit irritating.
I've bought a number of Varta Silver batteries from Tayna over the years. Always an excellent service at the best price for a premium battery. Had to fit the battery clamp across the top of the battery (like a chin strap) rather than around the middle on my classic car as the battery walls are thinner than the original and probably wouldn't take the stress.
Excellent service. Battery was exact match for the one in the car despite it being at least 5 years old. Arrived the next day.
Batterie reçue rapidement et chargée à bloc. Embalage soigné afin d'éviter des surprises. Batterie de qualité qui tient bien dans le temps, pour preuve celle ci vient remplacer en préventif celle en place dans l'auto depuis 2010 avant d'avoir un souci. Varta très bonne marque et Tayna vendeur sérieux.
It's a battery, it came quickly, I installed it, it worked. Bingo!
Good value, arrived well-packaged. Could not find a way to establish date of manufacture (the OEM Varta battery it replaced had clear week/year stamp on terminal).
Same battery as was on the car so fitted perfectly, very quick delivery and good price so I'm very happy with it.
Battery came as described and quickly, I gave it an overnight charge before fitting, but I had no need to as it was already fully charged! Good price and service, definitely recommend.


The moody expanse of the Dieng Plateau northwest of Yogya lies in a volcanic caldera 2093m above sea level and holds a rewarding mix of multicoloured sulphurous lakes, craters that spew pungent sulphuric gases, and some of the oldest Hindu temples in Java. The volcano is still active – in 1979, more than 150 people died after a cloud of poisonous gas bled into the atmosphere – and the landscape up on this misty, frigid plain is terraced on nearly every surface with cabbage and potato plantations that hang off the edge of impossible slopes. More than forty homestay accommodations have sprung up in Dieng village and there is an increasing number of multilingual guides in Dieng and nearby Wonosobo. Though many travellers arrive on day-trips from Yogya, it is worthy of an overnight visit (not least because of the four-hour journey from Yogya). The temples here are interesting and the plateau is a worthwhile destination for those seeking a different, more temperate side to Java.
There are numerous trekking options available on the plateau and further afield, as well as sunrise trips to Sikunir Hill and Cebong Lake. All the main attractions can be reached from the village of Dieng, just across the fields from the plateau's main temple complex.


Mandell Jack "Mandy" Ourisman, who passed away July 5 in Palm Beach and whose name and family and signs of his charity and enterprise can be found all over the Washington area, had a lot more than just money.
He had dignity, style, capital energy, taste, grace and a love of the arts, and a spirit of giving and charity. He expanded an automotive sales empire, to be sure, but also shared his passions and compassion with the immediate world through giving and leading.
Ourisman Chevrolet, a business begun by his father Benjamin Ourisman in 1921, became a flagship enterprise with 36 franchises in Maryland and Virginia.
He attended Georgetown University and the U.S. Naval Academy and grew the family business, which is a familiar name in our television advertising.
More than that, he was a captain of philanthropy — from establishing the Betty Lou Ourisman Breast Health Center at Georgetown University Hospital to his widespread support for the Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts to the Police Boys Club to the Meridian International Center and numerous other groups. His wife Mary served as U.S. Ambassador to numerous countries.
A memorial service is planned for September at the Metropolitan Memorial Methodist Church. The family requests that donations be made to MedStar Health c/o the Betty Lou Ourisman Breast Health Center at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Emma Pooley victory salvages "chaotic" Tour de Languedoc-Rousillon
by Ben Atkins at 10:38 AM EST comments
Categories: Pro Cycling, Race Reports and Results
British rider wins three years after final Tour de l'Aude despite continued problems
After looking like it was to be cancelled for the second year in a row, on the day before the race, the inaugural edition of the women's Tour de Languedoc-Rousillon eventually did get under way in southern France last week, albeit with the first stage missing. Despite the organisational problems that saw the Rabobank-Liv/Giant and Boels-Dolmans teams head home in disgust, all of the other teams stuck around to contest the five remaining stages.
The race was won by Emma Pooley (Bigla), after the British rider took the victory on the hilly third stage, then consolidated her overall lead with second place in the penultimate day's time trial. Despite her victory, Pooley pulled no punches as she confirmed that the race's problems were far from solved after it finally did go ahead.
"The whole race was chaotic," Pooley explained to VeloNation. "Not just the shambles at the start with it being cancelled; and then not. Frequent last-minute changes of accommodation: a nightmare for anti doping whereabouts; poor quality accommodation: campsites of varying cleanliness; no proper addresses for race starts… It was all highly frustrating.
"That said, the race itself was safe and well marshalled and challenging," she conceded. "And given the dearth of women's races at the moment, it was a good thing it was on the calendar and I'm glad that most teams stayed to race. I can understand the point of view of those that left, but for most of us once we'd been through the hassle and cost of travelling there, it was worth trying to support the race.
"I hope the tour happens next year again, but it has to be much much better organised."
It is hoped by many that the Tour de Languedoc-Rousillon could go on to go some way to replace the Tour de l'Aude, which disappeared from the calendar in 2011 after XXX years. Pooley was the last winner of the race, taking a dominant victory in the 2010 edition, and was understandably happy to have made a victorious return to the southwestern part of France.
"I'm really very pleased with the win," she said. "I was surprised to be honest because my preparation has been far from ideal and I was just going there for training really.
"Of course, due to the chaos at the start, the field was not as strong as it could've been...but you have to be in it to win it," she smiled. "For a little team like Bigla, we did a great job. I'm really proud of - and grateful to - my teammates. And I'm glad I could show that even in a year when I'm only riding part time, I'm not totally rubbish.
"It was strange being back in Aude three years on," she added, "and nice to recognise some of the beautiful scenery."
With the first stage having been cancelled, stage two, between Lèzignan-Corbières and La Barcarès went ahead more or less to plan, and was won in a sprint by 2007 World champion Marta Bastianelli (Faren-Let's Go Finland) after a number of riders crashed in the final corner. The victory was Bastianelli's first since taking her World title more than five years before, having become far less of a waif-like climber since returning from her two year suspension in 2010.
Pooley then took the next stage, between Maury and Camurac, after breaking away from a select group of climbers that included five-time Giro Donne winner Fabiana Luperini (Faren-Let's Go Finland) and South African champion Ashleigh Moolman (Lotto-Belisol), while the remaining three stages were taken by riders from Specialized-lululemon
"I'm so proud of the girls," said Specialized-lululemon directeur sportif Ronny Lauke. "After the hiccups at the beginning of this race, the girls stayed positive and showed that they really want to race and they want to race hard. Every day they gave everything on the road."
Loren Rowney beat Bastianelli in a big bunch sprint between in the stage four between Belcaire and Villemoustaussou, then Lisa Brennauer beat Pooley into second in the Trèbes to Laure-Minervois time trial
"I'm really happy with this," Brennauer said. "I've really worked hard on the road this year transitioning from racing primarily on the track last year. Its really nice to get a good result this week. Also to try to ride for CG was great and we had a lot of fun racing together here."
Canadian Gillian Carleton then crowned the race for the American team as she escaped from a group of four that included mountains classification leader Valentina Scandolara (MCipollini-Giordana) in the final Béziers stage.
"It feels great to win here," Carleton said. "It's been a hard week but I'm happy to get through my first big race in Europe for the season. It was a fun race and it makes the hard work worth it to come away with some wins."

Hola Lovers! Even if you're not the type for soft toys and romantic gestures, we thought Valentines Day would still be the perfect opportunity to learn a little DIY that you can bust out at anytime to embellish your baked goods and impress pretty much everyone. I'm of course talking about making sugared shapes, and here we show you how to make ombre sugar hearts, which we sprinkled on top of some cupcakes for Mr Bunting. Bagged up in our glassine bags, these would even make the sweetest retro gift to give the sweet-tooth in your life.
2. Start with half a cup of sugar and a small amount of the colouring. We used a good few drops of gel, remembering that once you add the egg white, it will darken. This will be your darkest colour.
3 & 4. Mix thoroughly and add one teaspoon of the egg white until the mixture resembles wet sand.
5. Pour out onto a sheet of baking paper, pressing down with the back of the wooden spoon. Roll over with the rolling pin, but you will still need to be gentle – the idea is to compact the mixture and make it level – to about half a centimeter. Then, using your cutter, cut shapes and place them on the baking tray. Repeat until you get as many as desired. If the shapes aren't holding, adjust the mixture with a little more egg white, or sugar if too wet.
6. Place leftover mixture back into the mixing bowl and add another half cup of sugar and teaspoon of egg white and repeat the process. If the shade is not as light as you would like, simply add more sugar and egg whites in the same ratio. We think it looks best if you repeat the process to achieve 3- 4 different shades, unless you want to use one block colour.
7. Bake your shapes in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes and allow to harden overnight. These should be the firmness of sugarcubes the next day.
8. Here are ours decorated on some cupcakes we baked for Valentines Day, complete with Glitter Cupcake wrappers and love heart doilies from Miss Bunting's shop.

The Five Most Advanced Robots In The World
When robots are mentioned what often comes to mind are cinema's cyborgs such as Robocop, Terminator and Millennium Man, to name a few. Perhaps also Star Wars' C3PO, which is a pure robot, meaning it includes no human component, but is still a sentient and responsive machine, at least as it appears on film. But then we know they are all fictional and unreal.
Yet man's fascination with creating something in his image and likeness does not end in films: there are actual robots designed to do various things. Some of the top robots circa 2010 are sketched below.
Asimo. The most famous. Made by Honda Motor Company, Asimo can walk unassisted, climb stairs, serve up drinks or food in a tray, switch lights on and off, open doors, understand and follow commands, recognize faces and individual voices. Looks like a diminutive astronaut with exposed joints.
Ecci. Perhaps the most realistic robot made, having 'bones', 'muscles' and 'tendons', and a brain that can correct its own errors and blunders. Its vision is similar to humans, although it has only one eye like a Cyclops. The robot appears to be C3PO without skin and coverings. Developed at the University of Zurich (Switzerland), its name is short for 'Eccerobot'. The term 'ecce' means 'look' or 'behold' as in 'Ecce homo' (Behold the man).
QRIO. While Asimo can only walk, QRIO can run at 23 centimeters per second which, though slow by human standards, nevertheless requires a considerable amount of mechanical coordination to balance the body while running. The robot can recognize voices and faces, and can databank personal likes and dislikes of people. Made by Sony Corporation.
EMIEW. (Excellent Mobility and Interactive Existence as Work-mate). As a robot on wheels, it moves the quickest as 3.7mph (6kph), can also recognize voices and sounds, as well as obstructions enough to get around them. It can move its arm very similar to a human. Designed by Hitachi Corporation to be office assistant.
HRP-4C. This time a 'female' robot that wowed the audience in Tokyo Digital Content Expo by singing and dancing to the song. Developed at Japan National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology to be a diva (Imagine that!).
While these are the top humanoid robots, others worth mentioning are:
Partner Robot. Made by Toyota, this robot can play drums, trumpets, and in 2007, a version that plays the violin.
Justin. A wheeled robot capable of making coffee and probably repairing satellites in space. It has arms and fingers for more delicate tasks. Made by the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft-und-Raumfahrt.
PaPeRo. This R2D2-like robot can comprehend 650 phrases and vocalize 3,000 or more. It can self-adjust its vision to some extent to recognize faces, or tell the person illumination is not enough. NEC Corporation is the manufacturer.
Robosapien. Actually this is preprogrammed toy controllable electronically via an infrared remote, PDA with infrared transmitter or infrared control-equipped personal computer. Marketed by WowWee Toys.
Big Dog. Developed by Boston Dynamics, it is a quadruped all-terrain workdog able to carry loads up slopes, through shallow waters, over rockpiles, etc. Although its foreseeable function is for military purposes, it can be modified to become a robotic pony for children, a 'wheelchair' without wheels, and as a mechanical mule. BigDog was unveiled to the public in 2006.

How many of us in this preview audience must have been thinking exactly the same? Yes, we're nailing our colours to the mast straight away and saying what a dreadfully dreary evening this is. Even if it's only 1 hour 40 minutes it feels much, much longer. Still, you can pass the time glancing round the audience and seeing if those on the ends of rows are slipping out discretely. Yes, some did. Lucky bastards.
Rhys Ifans plays King Berenger whose kingdom is disintegrating around him. He's four hundred years old and, unsurprisingly is dying. If only he could have just another hundred years he pleads. Try watching this play Rhys, that'll feel like you've had another century.
The main conflict – if one can flatter it that there is any conflict – is that he is struggling to come to terms with his imminent death. There are two Queens (Indira Varma and Amy Morgan), his doctor, a guard (Derek Griffiths, yes Play School Derek Griffiths!) and a maid (Debra Gillet) to help him prepare for the end.
The characters tell the audience he will die at the end of the play and frequently remind us how many minutes it is until that moment. Which provides us with a sort of countdown until the relief of it all being over, and like having a live clock on the stage, means we don't need to look at our watches. Though of course this didn't stop Phil, nor the woman next to him and one wonders how many others.
Characters stick their heads out of hidden windows (very Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In) in Anthony Ward's solidly crumbling set. Adrian Scarborough's Doctor brandishes a large syringe which squirts water over the audience, that's when he's not trundling a large telescope around on a trolley. This he cranks out to full extension and peers through presumably looking to see if there's a better role for him out there. Goodness, if Scarborough can't do much with his part there really is no saving things is there? Gillett is the wife of Marber (who also directs), she fusses around with brooms and feather dusters but must be wondering if nepotism is all it's cracked up to be.
Ifans injects a whiff of life into the proceedings by gurning around in blue silk pyjamas when he's not sticking his head through a giant tablecloth. When he first enters (through the auditorium) the audience is encouraged to rise. Bizarrely most of the audience complied. Phil remained seated rather grumpily of course. Ifans seems to be channelling Prince Philip when he's not channelling the actor Julian Bleach. He frequently sports a totally convincing dead-behind-the-eyes look. Presumably by channelling the audience.
It probably says something existential and profound about death and authority though it was impossible to give a hoot. Rather startlingly it's billed as a tragi-comedy. Strangely some of the audience were laughing. At what? Embarrassment?
The only thing that got Phil through to the end was the set that looked as though it was threatening to do something quite special. When it does – just before the end – it really is rather beautiful and striking.
Our post-show moanings were centred around the cast and at what point they realise they are appearing in a dud. We suspect they are well up to speed on that.
Sensibly it's played without an interval or surely it might have been a case of Exit the Audience.
If you have tickets already then you also have our sympathies.

Gosh you must really hate him!
Lol- oh I do ! Have a really good friend who saw the production on Broadway with Geoffrey Rush and he hated it as much as you hated the NT production !
I saw Exit the King (in a different adaptation) in New York a few years ago, starring Geoffrey Rush, Susan Sarandon and Lauren Ambrose – and it was a terrific piece of theatre (funny and engaging, largely because of a phenomenal performance from Geoffrey Rush.) Rather dreading the NT production now.
Gosh lucky you. Lowered expectations, who knows you may like this.There were 3 of us, all very negative.
I also saw and loved the Geoffrey Rush. And Ennui is my middle name, so I'm quite sure it wasn't boring.
This is a completely different adaptation. Trust us on this.
It was even a flop 50 years ago when it was staged at the Royal Court and starred Alec Guiness and Googie Withers.
I'd have paid good money to see those two in it. I did see both of them on stage but not at the same time.
could have done more with the action but I'm glad the NT has staged it. I also didn't find it too long.
By the way there are some clips from the G Rush production on You Tube but it doesn't look as good as the NT production.
Absolutely, and maybe for the same reasons. Maybe I am more of a sucker, but to me the whole thing was about the world and the people in it metaphorically and literally disappearing (for the dying person) as their death approaches, and it worked wonderfully well to that end.
At least the National give refunds, albeit a credit voucher. Tickets returned. Worth the £2 admin fee to dodge this bullet!

A Backpacker's Guide to Virtual Online Communities
The world offers many amazing places to visit, cultures to experience and people to meet. More often than not, the best way to truly find something new is to travel past your day to day borders. But when you have got work, family, school, college and plenty of obligations, taking a couple of weeks off is not something anyone can afford on a common basis. So what is an adventurous person to do? Log on, that's what.
Online, there are literally thousands of communities that you can join and become a part of. From mailing lists to forums to chat rooms, these social circles are fast becoming the norm. But for those who truly want to get a feel of something new; nothing is better than joining one of the many free virtual worlds online. There are plenty of these worlds for people to choose from, all that matters is to know which one offers the activities and cultures that best suit your personality.
Without further ado we present a list of our top 10 worlds to play in online.
10. Migo Land
We'll start off the list with a fan favorite: Migo Land. This site offers plenty in terms of interactivity. Both in games and active users, there are plenty that users will be able to choose from. If you just want to try out the site and see what it is like, you can easily create an instant character without having to sign up for anything at all. The concept is simple; if you liked the experience then you can choose to save the character you made (which also saves any progress such as purchased items and coins earned). Saving will require a registration - which you should do if you enjoyed it. And chances are, you will.
Creating your own character is as simple as clicking on the wardrobe panel and selecting all the basic features from hair style to shoes. With an initial 6000 coins worth of credits to start with, you can pretty much customize your character fully and still have coins left - provided you stay away from the more expensive choices of course. The rest of your money you may want to use to decorate your own pad.
Each player is provided with a personal home which they can set up with a vast array of designs and furnishings. As you would expect, you can get other players to visit your home - which is basically the whole point of customizing the place. While not everyone wants to show off, having a nice home is a definite help when you host a party.
Parties are basically mini get-togethers for you and anyone you meet in the Migo Land community. The party can also be posted on the public listing so that other players can also join in on the fun. Aside from mingling with other users in public locations such as the lobbies and castle grounds, this is another great way to socialize in game.
Of course, before you go off and start making parties, you will need a lot more than the credits you start with. This is where the games come in. Click on the games button on the left side of the screen to open up several mini games which will help you earn money. All you need here is time as the system grants you bonus credits simply for playing, even if you lose the game, you still earn something. Initially, players start out with a five-in-row, Othello and a whack-a-mole style game. These three games will let you choose between facing a computer or human controlled opponent. Winning the match earns a significantly higher amount more than losing so practicing and raising your skill is not a bad thing.
Play in the Migo Land world now.
9. Wee World
Moving on, we'll try out something more simple and straightforward with Wee World. This site is actually more of a 'create your own avatar' kind of place than a social networking service. Still, there is a very active community of users and the arty style is simply something that many people would love. The actual community itself is not that busy in terms of holding events, but they are active nonetheless. If this is your kind of thing, then you will definitely have lots of fun.
There is a certain degree of cartoonish-ness to the site's overall approach. While this may be a turn off for some users, we found that it actually looks pretty good if you are looking for a good mix of tough cutesy characters. As mentioned above, there is plenty of focus on the avatar creation side of things so expect to see some pretty interesting choices when making your character.
The clothing choices and facial features are pretty good, considering that everything has been done in a very unique art style, the variations that you can achieve are still significantly better than other sites on this list. If you are aiming to get a character that comes close to expressing your own personal and physical quirks, this is the service for you. Also, each player gets to have their own personal space or a room. This room can be decorated and fitted with furniture - some of which are initially available while some you will earn through playing.
One thing users should be aware of is that the average user age for Wee World is about thirteen. Most of the discussions in the community will undoubtedly reflect this so if your age bracket is a little higher, you might want to just try this for the character creation and invest your time in a different game.
Play in the Wee World world now.
8. Moove Online
Running off the Roomancer 3D system is the graphic intensive Moove which is probably the fanciest looking of all the online worlds. Okay folks, we'll be straight out honest with you here, if you are running a system that already has trouble with a few flash games, you might want to pass this up. Moove is a system resource hog. As nice as the graphics are and as interesting as the community may be, you will need a decent desktop computer before attempting to jump into this one. Again, those of you with netbooks will have trouble running this game.
With that said Moove Online gives players a truly in-depth feel of an online community as you literally move from one location to another and interact with various characters in very 'personal' ways. This game was built with a well detailed 3D graphics engine for two main reasons - immersion and interactivity. Many of the users of Moove enjoy the unique player to player interactions that you can make. While not exactly suited for a general audience, there's nothing in the world that would require you to keep your bedroom door locked either!
The focus on building relationships is helped further by the well detailed animations of the game. Characters walk, sway and swagger much like people would in real life, and simple gestures such as waving, holding hands and hugging look and feel a lot more real than usual. Also, the game allows users to use voice and cam chatting features as well. If you are looking for connectivity, this is a great option.
There are of course, plenty of downsides to the system. First off, this is not something you can run in the background - which makes it hard to participate in unless you regularly schedule some serious gaming time. Unlike other browser based social networking games where you can easily switch between your work and the web such as ourWorld, Moove demands your complete attention. As stated above, the need for a high end computer also alienates some users.
Overall, we're still approving of Moove. While they may have a very niche crowd to cater to, the total number of active users is enough to keep the place going. Also, the ability to be able to hear the people you interact with through voice chat and the option to also use a webcam is much appreciated as well.
Play in the Moove world now.
7. Vizwoz
Odd name aside, this is currently one of the largest online communities for children ages 11 to 14 online. The reason for this is that more parents are willing to invest in subscription for this service than any other online. And there is one outstanding reason for this: Vizcops.
Aside from being a very niche market system, Vizwoz also maintains and employs its own online law enforcement team. While the actual in-and-outs of Vizcops are not known publicly, parents can rest assured that in this community, their children are save and well protected. Unlike typical moderators, game masters and community heads, Vizcops take their jobs seriously. Complaints by users are handled with care and professionalism, and the investigation of any claim takes everything into account. While there are other support systems available such as technical support for software and hardware concerns, most of the issues fall under the Vizcops jurisdiction.
So now that you know you are protected, why should you play? Vizwoz also supports a large array of gameplay options for players. Those who want to talk and mingle can join one of the many open rooms and chatrooms available to users. You can even create your own room for people to join. Those who prefer to play will find that Vizwoz offers a large library of flash games that will not only keep you entertained for hours, but will also earn you a few online credits for the game as well.
For the most part, we recommend Vizwoz as a good starting off point for kids who are new to online interaction. The presence of an authority figure in-game will help iron out these many creases that blur the internet's morality rules to a smudgy gray. After all, nothing beats practicing in a controlled environment before jumping into the fray. For kids and parents, Vizwoz offers plenty of security - which is something that is hard to put a price on these days.
Play in the Vizwoz world now.
6. Habbo
With all the flash based virtual communities online, there is some pretty tough competition out there. But Habbo is facing these turbulent seas and is taking in plenty of fish as the world of weird and boxlike virtual people meet, Kongregate and play continues to grow each day. Habbo is virtually an animated chat lounge and each location you find ingame is a self-sustaining chat room. New players will initially have access to almost all public and commercial channels. In order to get inside private rooms, you need to make friends, socialize and be invited.
Creating your own Habbo character is easy, the moment you step into the game, the system prompts you for a gender and places your character in the public area. From here, you can name and change almost any detail you want. Be careful of the name change too, you can only do it once and after you click on confirm, you will not be able to change it again. As for physical features, Habbo allows players to adjust these aspects (hairstyle, clothes, etc) from the access toolbar on the left side of the game screen at any time.
Among the many things players will enjoy about Habbo is the presence of specialized commercial rooms and themed rooms. These allow players to visit virtual locations designed to mimic real life places or simply as virtual stand in offices for real world companies (a television studio can have a virtual set, while a clothing manufacturer can have a virtual store).
To purchase items online, players can literally buy game credits or accomplish quests online. These quests are often easy to accomplish and more often than not, simply requires the player to walk around the different locations.
Habbo's pixel art cubic delivery may not appeal to some players and tends to have the appearance of a children's game, but it is something we have come to appreciate. Also, this approach to the visual style discourages grievers and other users who prefer to cause trouble in games that border too much on looking real.

5. Moshi Monsters
Pet games have always had that distinctive charm of having a cute little critter follow you around without the need to pick up the litter they leave behind (or in the case of certain games, the entire task is accomplished in a single neat click). Moshi Monsters follows this tradition and takes the scenario up a notch: by providing you with a nest of mythical creatures to choose from. And these are not your typical unicorns and dragons sort either; Moshi Monsters brings in some of the lesser known monsters into the forefront.
With a choice of zombies, angry bunnies, living puppets, imps, demons and gorilla-like monkeys at your fingertips, which demented option will you choose? Fortunately, the game visual's approach is not as disturbing as it sounds on paper. All the creatures have been redesigned to become cute and lovable - with looks that would not be too out of place to imagine on a grade school student's lunchbox. They have also been given strange new names to fit the new image as well.
Speaking of image, players will also get to decide on how their little monsters will be colored (since you cannot directly change the physical form of the pets), and what kinds of clothes and accessories they will wear. After players name the monster and select a color scheme, they can head straight into one of the game's many stores in order to buy clothes. Initially, new members will not have access to several shops. But once a user has purchased membership, plenty of options will be made available.
In order to gain ingame credits for virtual purchases, players can take part in the daily puzzle challenge - a mix of number and visual problems at the Puzzle Palace. While the earnings are meager, spending a few minutes a day on this game can go a long way.
One great thing we noticed about the Moshi Monsters community was how welcoming the existing users can be. There are also plenty of submissions for daily fan art and screenshots. If you have been looking for a solid community of active users to join, Moshi Monsters is a great place to find it.

4. Club Penguin
Run and supported by Disney Online Studios Canada, Club Penguin is a self-sustaining world with plenty of users, lots of places to explore and hordes of games to find (yes, find). While it is generally targeted for a much younger audience, a much older crowd of teens and young adults will still find its many games and features to be quite charming. Besides, waddling around as a penguin around a snowcapped virtual community can be quite fun in its own way.
In case you are wondering, yes, you can pick up some snow and throw it. After all, that's one of the best ways of enjoying a snow filled neighborhood right? In Club Penguin, it is snow all year round and there is an instant button for the "throw snowball" action. This instantly turns your mouse cursor into a targeting reticule and you can launch a snow ball in the area you click. The sites' many locations have ice forts and plenty of other obstacles for players to use in snowball fights. You can also toss a snowball at some of the objects in game just to see what happens (throw one in the mine generator and the lights will turn on for a few moments).
As we mentioned above, games have to be found. Each location hosts about one or two games that players can try out - and there are so many locations to explore. While this may be a annoying for players who prefer a quicker way to access games, we found it quite refreshing. The concept is so much better than simply heading to an 'arcade' location in-game (which is actually a bad substitute for having a simple games window). Some games will require you play with a human opponent and others let you face off against a computer. While playing with others is fun, there are plenty of occasions when a losing player will quit the game midway - effectively negating a loss and also, wasting your time and effort. These range from typical board based challenges to Game & Watch inspired mini games.
Penguin Club users also participate in a wide range of Puffle rescue missions. Puffles are weird fur-ball type creatures that come in different colors and have a penchant for getting into all sort of ridiculous trouble. In order to rescue them, players take part in uniquely challenging mini games -voften with the simple premise of getting past obstacles to retrieve the Puffle, then making it back to the point of origin. As a reward, players can gain special Puffle rescue stamps. Rescuing Puffles is a major feature of the game and in order to access some of the bigger rescue missions, players will have to sign up for a membership to the Club.
For those hoping for some extra degree of customization, the only thing you can change with your penguin is the color. You could wear some interesting accessories, but that's about as much customization as you can do for your character. The igloo on the other hand, is much more fun to play around with. The igloo serves as the player's personal home which can be visited instantly using the "home" button on the lower right.
With its many in game locations, games and competitive multiplayer community, Club Penguin is one of the most lastable free virtual worlds online and is quite rewarding for players with an adventurous spirit and a drive for challenges.

3. ourWorld
We consider three basic factors for what would make a great virtual world: good character creation tools, an active community and plenty of games. On all three counts, ourWorld is a definite winner.
The game is a straight forward flash based application that delivers exactly what it promises: a strong community with plenty of users and lots of opportunities to socialize, a large library of games that can be accessed and played at any time, and character creation that allows you to tweak and edit your character as much as you see fit. The result is an amazing online game experience that has proven to be hard to beat.
From the start of the game, you get to choose your gender and basic details. Instead of bothering you with inconsequential tutorials on how to move around, players are allowed to explore and experience the game on their own. While this may sound hard, the intuitive controls and easy to understand interface helps ease out any beginner worries.
Moving forward in the game is done by earning Flow to level up. This is achieved through a variety of means: dancing and playing games. While dancing earns you a small amount of flow, the big earnings are achieved by clicking on the games icon and selecting a game to play. The games are a wide variety of Flash based apps developed by various game makers. Depending on your preference, you can choose to play with all the titles or simply concentrate on one single game you like. In order to satisfy its large client range, Our World's game library covers various genres ranging from simply puzzle games to slightly more challenging action titles.
Your character gets to do more things, interact with more objects and access more content when you join in for membership. The player level also affects this as well. This is important to know when you are joining public and private lobbies in the game.
Another important factor to take note of is that the average users of Our World are teens and young adults. With its visual style, games and chatting options, the game has been designed specifically for this age bracket. If you are in your awkward years and feel like some games are just too adult or too childish for you, then you have come to the right place. But despite its niche crowd design, OurWorld still offers plenty for users of all ages. And this is why this game is on top of the list. Having said that, if we were to create a separate list of virtual worlds, one for teens and one for adults, then ourWorld and Second Life would rank top respectively.

2. IMVU
The virtual community on IMVU focuses on two major features: interaction with other players (through chat and instant messaging functions) and selling virtual stuff you create. There is a very strong and active community that sustains its own virtual economy on IMVU. While we are not exactly certain that the data on market trends on this social space can be used in the real world, knowing the system will certainly help your character.
The developers of the game provide players with extensive tools (software) in order to create items for the IMVU game world. Once the custom made content is submitted and passed, they will be available to the creator to put online as a product to be sold ingame. Also, there is a small fee for uploading content to the game. An extensive product catalog allows players to see and purchase custom content. So far, the only requirements for content creation are to have an active member account and paying the fee. Aside from that, there are very few issues with uploaded content.
As we said, the community for IMVU is pretty broad. Generally, there are two main types of players ingame: there are those who use the service in order to communicate and interact with other players, on the other hand some focus a lot on product creation, selling and marketing. On average, plenty of players are simply a combination of these two extremes.
IMVU's visuals focus a lot on how the players' looks. Not that the backgrounds and locations are no good (they're okay, in terms of layout and general aesthetic value), but it is simply that players get to spend a lot of time making their characters look like high end models. Naturally, this tends to draw plenty of attention to the game's player to player interaction and the number of private rooms seen from the lobby is a testament to this.

1. Second Life
Second Life is probably one of the most famous (and infamous) multiplayer online communities ever made. The site has been associated with both controversy and fame thanks to the wide range of users. Developed by Linden Labs, this 3D world of customizable objects and player-controlled avatars has been operating since 2003. In these many years, the game has seen plenty of revisions, add-ons and rule implementations that continuously shape the way the game is played.
For the most part, players concentrate on the two basic tasks: accumulation of ingame wealth and socializing. Wealth is basically measured in Linden Dollars, which is used to purchase ingame content; this is common in many free worlds and is accomplished through various means.
Socializing takes on a very different approach in Second Life. Unlike other sites that simply allow users to chat and flirt with other players through limited avatar functions, Second Life has fewer restrictions on what your character can and cannot do. As such, there are plenty of adult oriented forms of interaction that are possible ingame - attracting plenty of users to second life.
The game's graphics have significantly improved over the years, with constant patching and updating polishing the aesthetic feel of Second Life. Several years back, intimate forms of interaction on the grid was something of an acquired taste as the graphic and animation qualities made some actions seem odd and awkward. Now, only the stigma remains. The actual animations and modeling details of the characters has taken the concept of online connectivity to a whole new level.
As you may have guessed, Second Life is primarily targeted towards adults and we do highly recommend this game only for users above the legal age (16). While those with more conservative views might want to tread carefully ingame (there are many areas in game where NSFW material is neither present nor allowed), those with more open minds will certainly want to explore.
Aside from earning credits and meeting people, the game also allows users to create and upload content. According to statistics, there are actually more user generated content ingame than first party developed objects. Of course, some uploaded content is known to be malicious, and the Second Life administrators are taking steps to prevent abuse and misuse of the custom item creator functions. Many users have taken object creation into an art form. And since you can sell your creation online, it is considered to be a great way to earn in game credits.
One of the things that has prevented Second Life from taking top spot is the lack of age restrictions in the game. While the user agreement clause does not allow users below 16 years of age to use its services, there is nothing that would prevent a rebellious 13 year old from joining in. And for the most part, kids in general would find it hard to enjoy the adult-targeted theme of Second Life.

In a meeting with Swiss President Ueli Maurer on January 25, PM Phúc said Việt Nam attached importance to consolidating and strengthening its ties with Switzerland.
He took the occasion to thank Switzerland for supporting Việt Nam's candidacy for a non-permanent member post in the UN Security Council for the 2020-21 tenure, and for committing an ODA of US$90 million for the country in the 2017-20 period.
Both sides agreed to select suitable projects to effectively use the financial resource, and to co-ordinate closely at multilateral forums – especially the United Nations – to ensure law, peace, stability and sustainable development in the region and the world.
PM Phúc voiced his hope to welcome more Swiss investors, especially those operating in finance-banking, insurance, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and tourism. He also said he hoped Switzerland and the European Free Trade Association would have a flexible and appropriate approach to approve the EU-Việt Nam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), thus meeting the expectations of the two sides' business communities.
PM Phúc also had working sessions with former WEF Managing Director Philipp Rösler and leading investors from Switzerland.
Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc left Davos, Switzerland in the afternoon January 25, wrapping up his four-day visit to attend the annual conference of the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2019.

Airprox Board Reports
PUBLISHED: 12:40 23 June 2011 | UPDATED: 14:06 10 October 2012
A student microlight pilot whose throttle froze did not know he had climbed to 11,000 feet and strayed into controlled airspace and into the path of a passenger carrying jet.
Reporting on the incident, the independent UK Airprox Board (UKAB) says that the microlight passed less than 100 feet from a Boeing 767 which had just left Manchester. The Board calls the microlight pilot's apparent unawareness of his height 'incomprehensible', and was equally 'mystified' by his failure so see the 767 despite passing so close to it. The UKAB considers there was an actual risk of collision.
That incident was in March last year. In the report of airprox incidents during the first six months of 1999, the Board shows that GA aircraft were involved in two other close encounters with commercial air transport (CAT) flights.
In April 1999, the crew of a BAe146 started their take off from Birmingham Airport without clearance, causing a PA 38 that was doing a touch and go on the same runway to stop and veer away. The airliner's wing passed over that of the PA 38.
The failure of ATC at Bournemouth Airport to coordinate a missed approach was blamed for an incident in June 1999, in which an ATR72 and PA 23 Aztec passed less than 400 yards from one another. The Board has recommended that the CAA reviews ATC practice at Birmingham and Bournemouth.
UKAB says that one third more General Aviation aircraft were involved in airprox incidents in the first six months of 1999 than in the corresponding period the year before. UKAB assessed 72 airprox reports involving GA aircraft compared with 54 in the first half of 1998. The number of cases in which there was a risk of collision went up from 22 to 35.
But the number of encounters between GA and military aircraft in the UK Low Flying System fell from nineteen (twelve of them risk bearing) in the first six months of 1998 to thirteen (eight risk bearing) a year later.
Gordon McRobbie, Director of the UK Airprox Board, says the most frequent cause of airprox incidents is pilots' failure to keep a proper lookout. He stresses that means, 'Not just looking out of the window but keeping an effective lookout and proactively searching the sky.'
Another common cause is low flying. McRobbie suggests, 'Many incidents would be avoided if aircraft could fly a little higher. If pilots don't have to fly below 2,000 feet they shouldn't. A lot of aircraft come into confliction with other traffic while flying over active gliding sites at 1,500 feet.' McRobbie particularly recalls the incident in which a pilot started a spin below 2,000 feet and, not surprisingly, was too preoccupied to see the helicopter whose pilot then filed an airprox report.

The (Un)Popular Vote
Author: Jasper Sanchez
Vaseline on the teeth makes a smile shine. It's a cheap stunt, but Mark Adams knows it's optics that can win or ruin an election.
Everything Mark learned about politics, he learned from his father, the congressman who still pretends he has a daughter and not a son. To protect his father's image, Mark promises to keep his past hidden and pretend to be the cis guy everyone assumes he is. But when he sees a manipulatively charming candidate for student body president inflame dangerous rhetoric, Mark decides to risk the low profile he assured his father and insert himself as a political challenger.
One big problem? No one really knows Mark. He didn't grow up in this town, and he has few friends; plus, the ones he does have aren't exactly with the in-crowd. Still, thanks to countless seasons of Scandal and The West Wing, these nerds know where to start: from campaign stops to voter polling to a fashion makeover. Soon Mark feels emboldened to get in front of and engage with voters—and even start a new romance. But with an investigative journalist digging into his past, a father trying to silence him, and a bully front-runner who stands in his way, Mark will have to decide which matters most: perception or truth, when both are just as dangerous.
