ALMA and JWST Reveal Galactic Shock is Shaping Stephan's Quintet in Mysterious Ways
Shockwaves resulting from the violent collision between an intruder galaxy and Stephan's Quintet are helping astronomers to understand how turbulence influences gas in the intergalactic medium. New observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed that a sonic boom several times the size of the Milky Way has kickstarted a recycling plant for warm and cold molecular hydrogen gas. What's more, scientists uncovered the break-up of a giant cloud into a fog of warm gas, the possible collision of two clouds forming a splash of warm gas around them, and the formation of a new galaxy. The observations were presented today in a press conference at the 241st meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Seattle, Washington, USA.
Stephan's Quintet is a group of five galaxies—NGC 7317, NGC 7318a, NGC 7318b, NGC 7319, and NGC 7320— generally located about 270 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Pegasus. The group provides a pristine laboratory for the study of galaxy collisions and their impact on the surrounding environment. Typically galaxy collisions and mergers trigger a burst of star formation; that's not the case in Stephan's Quintet. Instead, this violent activity is taking place in the intergalactic medium, away from the galaxies in places where there is little to no star formation to obstruct the view.
That clean window into the Universe has allowed astronomers to watch what's happening as one of the galaxies, NGC 7318b, violently intrudes into the group at a relative speed of roughly 800 km/second. At that speed, a trip from Earth to the Moon would take just eight minutes. "As this intruder crashes into the group, it is colliding with an old gas streamer that likely was caused by a previous interaction between two of the other galaxies, and is causing a giant shockwave to form," said Philip Appleton, an astronomer and senior scientist at Caltech's IPAC, and lead investigator on the project. "As the shockwave passes through this clumpy streamer, it is creating a highly turbulent, or unsteady, cooling layer, and it's in the regions affected by this violent activity that we're seeing unexpected structures and the recycling of molecular hydrogen gas. This is important because molecular hydrogen forms the raw material that may ultimately form stars, so understanding its fate will tell us more about the evolution of Stephan's Quintet and galaxies in general."
The new observations using ALMA's Band 6 (1.3mm wavelength) receiver— developed by NSF's National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO)— allowed scientists to zoom into three key regions in extreme detail, and for the first time, build a clear picture of how the hydrogen gas is moving and being shaped on a continuous basis.
"The power of ALMA is obvious in these observations, providing astronomers new insights and better understanding of these previously unknown processes," said Joe Pesce, Program Officer for ALMA at the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF).
The region at the center of the main shock wave, dubbed Field 6, revealed a giant cloud of cold molecules that is being broken apart and stretched out into a long tail of warm molecular hydrogen and repeatedly recycled through these same phases. "What we're seeing is the disintegration of a giant cloud of cold molecules in super-hot gas, and interestingly, the gas doesn't survive the shock, it just cycles through warm and cold phases," said Appleton. "We don't yet fully understand these cycles, but we know the gas is being recycled because the length of the tail is longer than the time it takes for the clouds it is made from to be destroyed."
This intergalactic recycling plant isn't the only strange activity resulting from the shockwaves. In the region dubbed Field 5, scientists observed two cold gas clouds connected by a stream of warm molecular hydrogen gas. Curiously, one of the clouds— which resembles a high-speed bullet of cold hydrogen gas colliding with a large thread-like filament of spread out gas— created a ring in the structure as it punched through. The energy caused by this collision is feeding the warm envelope of gas around the region, but scientists aren't quite sure what that means because they don't yet have detailed observational data for the warm gas. "A molecular cloud piercing through intergalactic gas, and leaving havoc in its wake, may be rare and not yet fully understood," said Bjorn Emonts, an astronomer at NRAO and a co-investigator on the project. "But our data show that we have taken the next step in understanding the shocking behavior and turbulent life-cycle of molecular gas clouds in Stephan's Quintet."
Perhaps the most "normal" of the bunch is the region dubbed Field 4, where scientists found a steadier, less turbulent environment that allowed hydrogen gas to collapse into a disk of stars and what scientists believe is a small dwarf galaxy in formation. "In field 4, it is likely that pre-existing large clouds of dense gas have become unstable because of the shock, and have collapsed to form new stars as we expect, " said Pierre Guillard, a researcher at the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris and a co-investigator on the project, adding that all of the new observations have significant implications for theoretical models of the impact of turbulence in the Universe. "The shock wave in the intergalactic medium of Stephan's Quintet has formed as much cold molecular gas as we have in our own Milky Way, and yet, it forms stars at a much slower rate than expected. Understanding why this material is sterile is a real challenge for theorists. Additional work is needed to understand the role of high levels of turbulence and efficient mixing between the cold and hot gas."
Prior to the ALMA observations, scientists had little idea all of this was playing out in the Quintet's intergalactic medium, but it wasn't for lack of trying. In 2010, the team used NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope to observe Stephan's Quintet and discovered large clouds of warm— estimated to be between 100° to 400° Kelvin, or roughly -280° to 260° Fahrenheit— molecular hydrogen mixed in with the super-hot gas. "These clouds should have been destroyed by the large-scale shockwave moving through the group, but weren't. And we wanted to know, and still want to know, how did they survive?" said Appleton.
To solve the mystery, the team needed more and different technological power and capability. ALMA's first light occurred more than a year later, in late 2011 and JWST captured its first images earlier this year. The combination of these powerful resources has provided strikingly beautiful infrared images of Stephan's Quintet, and a tantalizing, though incomplete, understanding of the relationship between the cold, warm molecular, and ionized hydrogen gases in the wake of the giant shockwave. The team now needs spectroscopic data to unlock the secrets of the warm molecular hydrogen gas.
"These new observations have given us some answers, but ultimately showed us just how much we don't yet know," said Appleton. "While we now have a better understanding of the gas structures and the role of turbulence in creating and sustaining them, future spectroscopic observations will trace the motions of the gas through the doppler effect, tell us how fast the warm gas is moving, allow us to measure the temperature of the warm gas, and see how the gas is being cooled or warmed by the shockwaves. Essentially, we've got one side of the story. Now it's time to get the other."
The observations were presented in a press conference at the 241st meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Seattle, Washington, USA.

Hot, warm, and cold molecular gas are acting a little strange in Stephan's Quintet – Astronomers used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to uncover just what is going on in Stephan's Quintet, where hot, warm, and cold molecular gas are acting a little strange. This animated video highlights observational fields 4, 5, and 6, the areas where the team discovered that turbulence caused by a giant shockwave has created a recycling plant for warm and cold molecular gas, and is enabling the Quintet's strange structural behaviors. Field 6 revealed the first indications of a recycling plant, with the area stretching a giant cloud of cold molecules into a tail of warm molecular hydrogen gas on repeat. Field 5 shockingly revealed a high-speed collision where a bullet of gas struck through a molecular cloud, creating a ring and connecting two cold gas clouds together. Field 4, the most normal, is a relatively steady environment, allowing for the growth of what may be a small dwarf galaxy. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/JWST/ P.

Flash Back Friday: 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T SE
In Dodge, Dodge Challenger, Flash Back Friday, Muscle Car
The 2018 Dodge-Challenger-SRT-Demon looks almost as good as a Ford GT
My 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is actually the third Dodge Challenger I've owned. As featured a few weeks ago, I had a 1973 Dodge Challenger Rallye when I was in college in Colorado. That car was pretty cool, but as fun as it was to drive I always wanted a big-block Dodge Challenger, preferably a 440 or 426 Hemi version from 1970 or 1971.
The Challenger's body damage was not extreme, but every panel had a noticeable flaw
About 13 years after selling my 1973 Dodge Challenger Rally I found another Challenger while browsing eBay. This was an all-original, one-owner car with every single feature I wanted. First, it was a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T SE, which immediately makes it a relatively rare and well-equipped car. There were plenty of Dodge Challenger R/Ts produced, and a fair amount of Dodge Challenger SEs were made, too. But there are very few original Challengers that featured both packages in one car.
My 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T SE had every factory feature I wanted
Though I didn't know it at the time, this car was also a Chrysler executive ordered car, which is why it was so loaded with features. When I saw the eBay listing I was thrilled to see this Challenger's list of factory features: 440 engine, air conditioning, AM/FM radio, rear defrost, rim-blow steering wheel, chrome trim (mirrors and windows) and hood pins. And, best of all, it was painted my favorite vintage Challenger color: Plum Crazy Purple.
Ford GT: It Looks Good in So Many Shades of Blue
In Ford GT, New Ford GT, New Ford GT Ownership, Porsche 911
You simply can't go wrong with a Ford GT in blue, any shade of blue
Blue is one of my favorite colors for cars. Just about any shade of blue on just about any car is okay by me, and from the looks of how many Ford GT buyers are picking this shade I'm not alone in my preference.
A Porsche 911 Turbo S in Miami Blue further proves my point about blue cars
After much consternation I chose Liquid Blue for my Ford GT. I almost went with a custom color, Petty Blue, but with so many other people picking custom blue colors from the medium, non-metallic Porsche blue family (Mexico, Miami, Riviera) I figured everyone would assume I'd also picked one of those. Paying for a custom color only to have it confused with other customer colors didn't appeal to me.
New Ford GT: To Stripe or Not to Stripe…
The new 2017 Ford GT is mobbed after its world debut in January 2015
There's an ongoing discussion among new Ford GT fans: To stripe or not to stripe.
The 2005-2006 Ford GT looks very good with the stripes
The new Ford GT is among the most dramatic vehicle designs ever created. It shows obvious ties back to the original GT40 and the 2005-2006 Ford GT, but it's a clear break from the past. That past is rife with stripe-bearing Ford GTs, all of them looking quite good with stripes over the hood, roof and engine cover. But does this stripe treatment transfer to the new Ford GT?
Two-Wheeled Tuesday: Triumph X75 Hurricane
In Motorcycle, Triumph Motorcycle, Two-Wheel Tuesday
The 1975 Triumph Trident and 1973 Triumph Hurricane are two of my favorite bikes
For a long time, the Triumph X75 Hurricane was my ultimate dream motorcycle. As previously noted, I grew up in a house full of classic British motorcycles. Sure, 1960s and 1970s BSAs and Triumphs weren't quite as "classic" in the 1980s. They were mostly thought of as old, leaky, unreliable has-beens compared to the more advanced Japanese motorcycles of the day.
The Hurricane's fiberglass bodywork flowed from its tank to the side panels
But any enthusiast with foresight knew, even back then, these bikes told a compelling emotional story flush with timeless design elements and an engaging man-machine interface. And within the massive spectrum of classic British two-wheelers there were bikes like the Vincent Black Shadow, the Norton Commando and the Triumph X75 Hurricane. I appreciate all legendary British motorcycles, but I personally loved the Triumph X75 Hurricane.
The Dodge Challenger: America's Porsche 911?
In Dodge, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, Porsche 911
These two models share timeless styling that hasn't changed, and hopefully never does
Few cars posses a style that can hold up over a single decade, let alone multiple decades. One of those cars is the Porsche 911. The 911 has certainly evolved since its introduction in 1963, but the sports car's basic profile and proportions remain unchanged after more than 50 years. I'd argue that at this point Porsche can't change the 911 without risking a massive revolt from the car's dedicated fanbase.
The Porsche 911's basic shape and proportions have aged gracefully
I'd make the same argument about the Dodge Challenger. Unlike the Porsche 911, the Dodge Challenger doesn't have 5 decades of uninterrupted production. Dodge's muscle car was only in production for 5 years before it vanished for 35 years (and no, the Mitsubishi "Challenger" from the 1980s doesn't count…).
Flash Back Friday: 1973 Saab Sonett III
In Flash Back Friday, Saab Sonett
The Saab Sonett III was more track capable than I'd have believed before trying it
My two older brothers influenced my car enthusiasm. They both owned multiple vehicles before they had their driver's licenses, and by the time I got my license they were well into their lifelong odyssey of owning old, odd, eclectic models. One of those cars was a 1973 Saab Sonett III. This front-wheel drive, two-seat sports car was made from 1966 to 1974, and considered a Porsche 911 competitor at the time. Saab actually made the first Sonett in 1955, but only 6 units of the fiberglass convertible were built, utilizing a three-cylinder, two-stroke engine.
With a modified engine my Saab Sonett was quicker than a Porsche Boxster
The Sonett returned in 1966 as the Sonett II. This time it was a fiberglass 2-door coupe, but it still used a two-stroke engine until 1967, when it switched to a 1.5-liter Ford-of-Europe sourced V4 engine. The Sonett was revised again in 1970, with a more effective rear hatch and flip-up headlights, plus a name change to Sonett III. This version went unchanged until 1974, though it gained the same unsightly oversized bumpers many small European cars suffered in the U.S. starting in 1973. The Saab Sonett III ended production in 1974
Everything from the body to the interior was original and clean in this Saab Sonett
I drove my brother's Saab Sonett several times when I was still a teenager. At the time I was a dedicated V8 muscle car fan, but the Sonett surprised me with how much fun a four-cylinder, front-wheel drive sports car could be. Fourteen years later, in June of 2000, I was at a Barrett-Jackson auction at the Petersen Publishing Museum where this particular red 1973 Saab Sonett was going up for auction. I didn't plan on buying it, but I looked the Saab over closely and confirmed it was clean and original…
The New Ford GT: How to Fully Appreciate Its Capabilities
The new Ford GT is more capable than most drivers will ever know
I've driven a new Ford GT on multiple occasions, including its press introduction in April of 2017 and during the Kelley Blue Book Ford GT comparison test in May of 2018. During that comparison test we took all three generations of Ford GT to Lake Elsinore on Ortega Highway in South Orange County.
Our shooting location took us out along Ortega Highway for 2 days in a row
Ortega Highway, also known as State Route 74, is like many roadways in Southern California. It's a twisting two-lane ribbon of pavement that could, theoretically, offer an amazing sports car (or motorcycle) experience. I say theoretically because Ortega Highway, like most California roads, is overrun with traffic congestion most of the day. And night. But after the final day of shooting the Ford GT comparison I drove the new Ford GT back to Irvine on Ortega Highway, and the roadway was uncharacteristically useful…

Service provider support for the digitalised world
Mila: Help for the connected home
Whether it's a new tablet, an intelligent refrigerator, or a complete smart home: in our everyday lives, we have to deal with more and more technical
devices. Operating them can be difficult, and competent help is hard to find. When something doesn't work, a specialist with the right know-how to
help you on the spot is worth their weight in gold. The Zurich-based start-up Mila, an on-demand marketplace for tech services, aims to offer the right
service technician for every problem. "If a customer needs help installing a technical device, setting up a computer or expanding their smart home
system, they can find the right service providers on Mila", says Christian Viatte, founder and CEO of Mila AG.
Both professional contractors, e.g. technicians, computer scientists and electricians, and sideline service providers, the socalled "Friends", are listed on the platform. "Who performs the service is decided by the system depending on the task", says Viatte.
In this way, requests can be served in a very targeted manner. From the client's point of view, he says, it is crucial that the task at hand be solved. "We believe very much in the development of the connected home", affirms Viatte. All devices in the home are increasingly connected, he says, and customers need a swift, attractively priced service. Mila's technicians are either requested via industry and retail partners such as Bosch, Otto, Amazon or Freenet when their end customers need support with a product, or booked by the customer directly, B2C, via the website.
Management buy-out and international venture capitalists
Before founding the start-up, Viatte had worked for ten years at Swisscom, Switzerland's largest telecommunications company, including five years as Head of Service Experience and Innovation. "At the time, we were thinking about which service models could help the group reduce costs, generate revenue through paid service offerings, and increase customer satisfaction in the process", says Viatte. Initially conceived as a neighbourhood
help service, the start-up Mila was born in 2016 with Swisscom as the main investor. The concept was a hit. After its initial focus on Switzerland, Mila soon expanded to other countries. "But it proved difficult to scale internationally with the set-up we had at the time", Viatte remembers. To make the most of the growth opportunities, he acquired all of Swisscom's shares in an MBO in 2020. He then brought Alpana Ventures from Switzerland, as well as Oriza Ventures and Plug and Play Ventures from Silicon Valley on board to drive growth together with the new investors.
Pre-series A with the Heilbronn-based seed fund Born2Grow followed at the beginning of 2022. "We were particularly impressed by Christian and his team's clear strategy and their market successes to date", says investment manager Andrea Muth. Mila is especially good at anticipating market needs and meeting customer expectations. The network behind Born2Grow could help to establish contacts to further B2B partners in the future, in Germany, and internationally.
Focus on market access and sales
Mila is hardly known among end customers so far. "In terms of growth, we are first concentrating on market access via industry partners and on turnover; only in the second step do we want to make the brand known to end customers", says Viatte. One important lesson learned so far, he says, has been not to enter many new markets at the same time. "For each market you need a certain amount of manpower, and you have to build that up." Mila's services are now available in Switzerland, Germany, France, Austria, and England. Competitors include TechBuddy from Munich, HelloTech from the USA and Deutsche Technikberatung, which belongs to Ceconomy. Viatte believes Mila is well-positioned for further growth. His goal is to make Mila the global leader in tech support. Investors can still join in the current financing round. The series A is to follow in 2023.

Barred candidate claims Kuwait election could be delayed, assembly reinstated
Lawyer Hani Hussein, who was barred from participating in the parliamentary polls, has claimed a "big surprise" could delay Kuwait's November 26 elections and lead to the reinstatement of the 2013 National Assembly which was dissolved in October.
Hussein made the announcement on his official Twitter account but declined to reveal the nature of the surprise. However, he said it relates to a provision in the election law which he had drawn the court's attention to through a petition, reported Kuwait Times.
The court will reveal its ruling on his argument on Sunday, he said, adding he would lodge an appeal on the case if the court rejects his argument.
The lawyer was disqualified from running in the election after being convicted by the lower court and originally by a special committee formed by the interior ministry to review the nomination papers of all candidates.
The committee disqualified a total of 47 candidates including former MP Abdulhameed Dashti. It reinstated a number of the candidates while others remain barred.

Our Local Commitments
Ongoing Engagement
Local Investment
The Canada Water Masterplan is a partnership between British Land, Southwark Council and the local community to create an outstanding new town centre for Southwark and make a positive long-term contribution to local life.
The Masterplan covers 53 acres providing jobs, homes, offices, public spaces and facilities, and responds to the Greater London Authority and Southwark Council's policy aspirations to deliver new homes and jobs at Canada Water.
Find out about the commitments that we, British Land, will make in delivering the Masterplan below.
We are committed to making sure that all those who live and work locally, both now and in the future, can benefit from the development and the opportunities it will create. Since 2014 more than 5,000 people have been involved in the community consultation which has directly informed the plans, and our key areas of commitment (scroll down for more detail):
Affordable homes for local people
Local transport investment for current and future users
Facilities for local people
Support for a thriving community and economy
Sustainable now and in the future
To view the full document that was produced in September 2019, please click here. More information can also be found in our Frequently Asked Questions.
Our Headline Commitments
Most of the facts and figures are based on what is called the "Illustrative Masterplan". Illustrative because, as with any long-term large-scale project, there has to be some flexibility, as no one knows exactly what will happen over the next 15 years. In some cases we refer to the maximum we can deliver, for example office space, where the Illustrative Masterplan is 278,000 sq m, and the largest amount we could deliver is 320,000 sq m.
Below we have summarised the commitments British Land will make in delivering the Canada Water Masterplan. These are secured in the planning permission and will be provided throughout the lifetime of the project:
The Illustrative Masterplan could deliver around 3,000 new homes, helping to meet Southwark's housing needs. We also recognise that there is an ageing population and a growing need for homes for older people. We are investigating the opportunity to build homes that are specifically designed for people at different life stages and specialist care.
Local Transport Investment for current and future uses
We know that local people already experience busy services during peak times and we have spent the past three years working with Transport for London (TfL) and Southwark Council to develop a package of improvements that addresses the effects of the Masterplan. We will be contributing over £33million towards transport improvements to increase capacity and frequency, make journeys quicker, and provide a greater range of choices for those living or working in Canada Water and the wider Rotherhithe and Surrey Docks area.
The Masterplan will create a new town centre at the heart of a thriving local economy and community; and we're working with partners to provide over three times the amount of retail, leisure, entertainment and community space currently at Surrey Quays Shopping Centre. It will bring employment and career opportunities for people of all ages and across a range of employment areas and skill levels. Our focus will be on supporting people from the local area to access these opportunities. We will also support existing local businesses to benefit from the Masterplan.
We see the Canada Water Masterplan becoming a 'hub' for local services and we know it is key to ensure that existing and new facilities meet needs as they increase. We have been working with the NHS, education authority and the Metropolitan Police to understand how we can put the infrastructure, buildings and/or funds in place and support them to deliver the services required. This also sits alongside extensive additional public activities and facilities that will be provided for all age groups.
Canada Water – sustainable now and in the future
We are committed to a strategy at Canada Water that minimises the carbon dioxide emissions both now and in the future. We recognise our responsibility to manage environmental impacts but also in limiting energy costs for residents, enhancing wellbeing and helping to improve local air quality. We will introduce a wealth of new plant life, green open spaces and 'green buildings', increasing biodiversity in the area, as well as respecting and enhancing the unique ecology of Canada Dock and the heritage of the area.
Our Ongoing Commitments
As long term owners at Canada Water we are committed to ensuring that our work and presence benefits the existing and future community. So far we've focused our support on education, enterprise and community projects laying the foundations for local people to benefit from the opportunities that will be created through the Masterplan, from careers in construction or with future office tenants, to business opportunities or helping people to lead more active lifestyles. To do this, we've worked with some fantastic partners including local charities and community groups and supported a range of events.

The Light in Burt Reynolds' Financial Woes
by Leslie Marenco | Sep 27, 2018 | Articles, Uncategorized | 0 comments
Earlier this month, Hollywood's beloved mustachioed Burt Reynolds passed away in Jupiter, Florida. He was 82.
And while we remember him for his charisma both on and off the screen, some may also recall his financial troubles in the early 1990's—which ultimately led to his filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1996. Even fewer, however, understand how he was able to come out of it only two years later without having to sell his 3.4-acre waterfront "Valhalla" estate in Palm Beach, which included a 12,500-square foot mansion and a separate guest house. The quick and dirty answer: Florida's homestead protection laws.
Once the top-grossing Hollywood movie star for five consecutive years, a series of unfortunate events began to dwindle Reynolds' estimated net worth of $60 million (after taxes!). (When adjusted for inflation, this is the equivalent of $150 million today.) He earned significantly and spent lavishly. His real estate portfolio alone included, in addition to Valhalla:
a 160-acre ranch (also in Florida), where he kept a stable of 150 horses;
a mansion in Georgia, in which he never lived;
not one, but several mansions in Beverly Hills, including another entirely new mansion for him and (now-second ex-wife) Loni Anderson in which to live;
a lakefront property in Arkansas, just 60 miles from where he filmed the CBS sitcom "Evening Shade"; and,
a mountaintop cabin in North Carolina, reportedly bought when he filmed "Deliverance."
Not to mention the luxury items as well—velvet suits; silk bandannas; an inventory of toupees worth over $100,000; a private jet (and a helicopter to shuttle him to and from the private jet); and several custom-made sports cars, including the Trans Am used to promote "Smokey and the Bandit."
And then came the sour investments: Reynolds and his long-time friend, Buddy Killen, who ran a country music label in Nashville, fell into the trap of investing in the restaurant business—an area in which neither had understanding or experience. The two each invested $20 million in a restaurant chain called Po' Folks, purchasing a total of 30 franchises. Po' Folks turned out to be a money pit and the two buddies were persuaded into liquidating those assets and redirecting the monies into another chain, Daisy's Diner. That investment went south quickly. To make matters worse, Reynolds personally guaranteed the restaurant leases (i.e. he was on the hook for everything)—a business decision that any prudent adviser would have advised against. Had he created and signed on behalf of a limited liability company (LLC), he would only have been liable for the investment losses. And even though this was seemingly grounds for a suit against his advisers, they were essentially "un-suable." Unfortunately, Reynolds had signed a release indemnifying them from all legal claims against them.
In spite of this, Burt and Loni continued to live lavishly in their multiple mansions. And when CBS signed him to star in the TV series "Evening Shade," Reynolds asked to borrow $4 million from the network, (wrongly) assuming that he would be able to repay the loan when the series was syndicated. Well, that too did not pan out quite the way Reynolds intended. To be syndicated, a television show must have five seasons or 100 episodes; "Evening Shade" was canceled after only four seasons and 98 episodes.
If being $3.7 million in the hole with a major network was not bad enough, Burt and Loni's five-year marriage had come to a very tumultuous end. Ultimately, Anderson walked away with a significant settlement in addition to $15,000 per month in spousal support plus an additional $9,000 per month to cover the mortgage on her $2 million home. This did not include the $47,000 per month for attorney's fees and divorce-related expenses that Reynolds had accrued.
When CBS sued him for the unpaid debt, Reynolds was forced to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Reynolds had listed $6.65 million in total assets and total debts north of $11 million owed to a laundry list of creditors, including Anderson and his toupee-maker.
If there was any "greener grass" on the other side of these markedly bad years for Reynolds, it was Florida's homestead protection laws and the "mansion loophole" that had existed at the time.
Aside from the great weather we have down here, Florida's laws regarding homestead property make it a debtor's haven. (Recall O.J. Simpson's ability to remain untouched by creditors.) If qualified as "homestead," said property will be protected from forced sale by creditors—subject to a few exceptions, of course.
To qualify as a homestead property, four requirements must be met:
The property must be real property. "Real property" need not necessarily be a house; it can be an apartment, condominium, mobile home, houseboat, or anything of the like, with the exception of a co-op.
The property must be the primary residence of the owner or the owner's family. A showing of intent to return to the residence can evidence a "primary residence." This serves to limit a person to having only one homestead.
The property must be owned by a natural person. For purposes of this requirement, a corporation is not considered a "natural person." Furthermore, the property cannot be held in an irrevocable trust (i.e. a trust that specifically provides that it is "irrevocable").
The property is limited in size depending on its location.
If the property is located within a municipality, such as Coral Gables, the homestead protection extends up to a half-acre of contiguous land and is limited to the residence itself.
If the property is located outside of a municipality, the homestead protection extends up to 160 acres of contiguous land, including the residence and any improvements on the land.
Generally, a creditor seeking to satisfy the debts of the homestead-owner cannot force a sale of the property unless the creditor is one of the following types of "special" creditors:
the government to whom taxes and/or assessments on the property are owed;
the holder of a mortgage for purchase or improvement of the property; or,
a contractor who has performed work on the property.
Quite simply, homestead property will be not be subject to claims of creditors as long as there are no liens voluntarily placed on the homestead as security for a debt.
In Florida, this protection is guaranteed under the state constitution. With no property value limitation, assets of unlimited value can essentially be converted into homestead property. Couple this with the pre-2005 federal bankruptcy laws and a "mansion" loophole was created. This loophole enabled debtors who moved to Florida to transform substantial, out-of-state assets into homestead-protected mansions.
And this was how the former (Florida State) football-player-turned-king-of-Hollywood was able to stave off his creditors from forcing the sale of his multi-million-dollar "Valhalla" home.

According to a survey conducted by M&S Money, the average garden shed contains a huge £888 worth of goods. One respondent admitted to storing £30,000 worth of property in their shed.
Despite these significant values, it would seem that 24 percent have failed to implement security measures such as locks on their shed doors. This could explain the motivation behind thieves targeting these particular outbuildings – to the extent that 30 percent of shed owners know someone who has had belongings stolen from their shed.
M&S Insurance Manager, Judith Roberts, commented: "Sheds often contain a wealth of property, including tools or machinery which can cost thousands of pounds. Our survey reveals that many people fail to take even simple steps to secure their shed. It's not surprising, therefore, that insurers receive many claims for theft from sheds.
M&S Money has offered shed owners some security advice so as to discourage thieves. Firstly, apply at least one heavy duty lock to your shed door. Secondly, be sure to secure all shed windows and do not keep expensive equipment on display. Thirdly, do not leave tools lying around as these could be used to forcibly enter your shed. Finally, remember to security mark all property.

I was hoping to be able to use my own custom id values, but when I include one in the POST request this is overridden and replaced with a UUID. Is there any way I can use my own IDs?

A: DynamoDB does not auto generate IDs for you.
You are setting your mapping template to use the context requestId as shown in the tutorial:
"id": "S": "$context.requestId"
You should set this template mapping to the Id you wish to use in your openAPI mapping.

Kiawah Island - Offering the Very Best in Golf
Home > CME Travel News > Kiawah Island - Offering the Very Best in Golf
Kiawah Island, a small island off the coast of South Carolina, may go unnoticed on a map, but it is known as a premier destination for golfers, boasting some of the most elaborate and challenging courses in the country. Kiawah Island is located only 25 miles south of the iconic Charleston, South Carolina and is approximately 13.4 square miles large. Of these 13 miles, most of the land is taken up by PGA golf courses and is the ideal spot for avid golfers and dabblers alike.
There are a total of seven golf courses on the island, making this island a golf lover's paradise. The Kiawah Island Golf Resort owns and operates five out of these seven courses, making it an attraction and destination that you do not want to miss. One of Kiawah Island Golf Resort's most notable courses is The Ocean Course. The Ocean Course is ranked the #4 Public Golf Course in the U.S. and is only the fourth course in the world to have hosted every major PGA of America's men's championships. These major events include the Ryder Cup (in 1991), the Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid (2007) and the PGA Championship (2005).
All throughout the course, players can take in the sights, sounds and smells of the Atlantic Ocean, all while enjoying the game. In addition to offering some of the best golf and views in the country, Kiawah Island Golf Resort offers visitors world-class accommodations and lodging. The Resort offers visitors the chance to stay at The Resort Villas or The Sanctuary Hotel. The Resort also offers spa packages, tennis, swimming, nature tours, island dining and more, making it a one-stop getaway.
Kiawah Island Golf Resort is scheduled to host 2021's PGA Championship. The Championships will take place on The Ocean Course, drawing visitors from around the world to take part in the iconic event. The nearly three mile long course offers even the best of the best a challenge, as they have to play against ocean breeze.
Not only did Kiawah Island host the Ryder Cup in 1991 on The Ocean Course, it also went down in golf history as one of the most memorable and nail-biting games to date. In 1991, the victor came down to the last putt of the last hole on The Ocean Course. Known today as the "War by the Shore," the American team went head-to-head with Europe, and ended up winning the Cup after Bernhard Langer on the European team missed a six foot putt.
From its historic American win in 1991 to the ocean views and breeze, Kiawah Island is one of the greatest destinations for those who love the game of golf. Stay in a stunning villa while enjoying days out on the courses and fine dining in the evening. Kiawah Island is a place that will not disappoint.

Q: NSOperationQueue doesn't stop when [operation cancelAllOperations] is called I created this queue in my iOS app, and I'd like to stop it:
In my .h file:
NSOperationQueue *uhm;

In my .m file:
in viewDidLoad: NSOperationQueue *uhm = [[NSOperationQueue alloc] init];
in my method:
[uhm addOperation:[NSBlockOperation blockOperationWithBlock: ^{
        … //Here I do operations that retrive data from my server
        [[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperationWithBlock: ^{
            [self.tableView reloadData];
        }];
    }
    }]];

but when I call [uhm cancelAllOperations] it just set the boolean value isCancelled on YES, but doesn't stop the execution of queue!
Please help me!

A: Cancelling an operation doesn't actually stop any executing operation.
It just stops new ones from being started.
You have to stop any current operations manually in the operation itself.
For instance, if you have code that collects downloaded data then before you concatenate the data check if the operation is cancelled.
If the operation is cancelled then end the operation.

There are many ways to do this. It depends on what is inside your operation.

A: Like you mentioned that you are calling the cancelAllOperations from another method,, and the object you allocated is not in your .h so you are calling another object not the same "hum" that you initialised.
so try to declare the NSOperationQueue *uhm; in your .h so it will be global then you can call [uhm cancelAllOperations]; from any method in .m you want.

Artificial Turf Timeline
disman00911 posted a topic in Sports In General
A rather simple timeline on when teams played on artificial turf and how long they played their home games on those surfaces. From the original green carpet-like Astroturf to the more modern grass-like surfaces, such as Fieldturf. Most people already know the origins of the original AstroTurf and why it was created. I was rather shocked to learn that Chase Field in Arizona had switched their playing surface from grass to turf in 2019, in addition to the Marlins Park in Miami and the new stadium in Texas where the Rangers play had also adopted synthetic turf. I thought the Rays and the Blue Jays were left when it came to artificial turf in baseball. I'm only doing MLB and NFL teams. Way too many College football teams to count. If anyone wants to add college teams, CFL, or soccer, that's fine. Correct me if there are errors. == MLB == 1966 (20 teams) NL - 1 team (Houston Astros) AL - 0 teams - The first season where the Astrodome had Astroturf (the stadium had grass in 1965) 1967 (20 teams) NL - 1 team (Houston Astros) AL - 0 teams 1968 (20 teams) NL - 1 team (Houston Astros) AL - 0 teams - The All-Star game was held at the Astrodome, making it the first such game to be played on artificial turf 1969 (24 teams) NL - 1 team (Houston Astros) AL - 1 team (Chicago White Sox, (infield only)) - The White Sox installed an Astroturf infield (called "SoxSod") at Comiskey Park but kept the outfield grass, the only MLB stadium to ever have this hybrid field. 1970 (24 teams) NL - 4 team (Houston Astros, St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds, Pittsburgh Pirates) AL - 1 team (Chicago White Sox, (infield only)) - The grass in St. Louis' Busch Memorial Stadium (which opened in 1966) is replaced with Astroturf -
