The episode that makes up the plot of The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle is one of the most popular stories of late medieval England. The transformation of the loathly lady - a story common in folktales, and here combined with motifs of fairy tales like the frog prince and sleeping beauty - occurs in a popular ballad (see The Marriage of Sir Gawain, below), and in more polished literary renditions from the late fourteenth century by Geoffrey Chaucer and John Gower. The story also served for the plot of an interlude performed at one of Edward I's Round Tables in 1299: a loathly lady, with foot-long nose, donkey ears, neck sores, a gaping mouth, and blackened teeth, rode into the hall and demanded of Sir Perceval and Sir Gawain (Edward's knights had assumed Arthurian identities for the occasion) that they recover lost territory and end the strife between commons and lords. The author of the interlude evidently assumed that Edward's court would recognize the story in its outlines.
Ragnelle may in fact have had its origins in some distant and lost Arthurian narrative, for both Chrétien de Troyes in the Perceval and Wolfram von Eschenbach in the Parzival describe a Grail messenger who is an ugly hag. A variety of early European vernacular stories retell the plot of a loathly lady who, in return for certain crucial information or power, demands some sign of sexual favor from a hero, and is then transformed by the hero's compliance. In the earliest Old Irish versions, the reward for the hero's offering his favor or making the right choice is kingship or political dominance; the late medieval English versions recast the tales' setting, from the realm of epic exploits to a domestic environment of personal love characteristic of romance. Sir Gawain's reputation as a chivalric hero rides to a large extent on his talent for "luf talkyng" (as in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, line 927) and courtesy towards women, though according to Ragnelle these in turn are motivated by his fealty to the king.
At the heart of Ragnelle lies the question of how the unknown, the marvelous, or the threatening is brought into line with legitimate, normative, idealized chivalric society. Perhaps even more than the Green Knight in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Gromer Somer Joure represents the forces of wildness and incivility: he appears suddenly in the midst of the forest, he behaves in ways that violate knightly protocols, and, most of all, he has a name that connects him with the licensed anarchy of Midsummer's Day. But Ragnelle represents these threats no less than her brother. Her seemingly omnivorous appetite marks her as an outsider, both sexually and socially, to the aristocratic court. Despite the counsels of her betters, she will have Gawain, and the entire court, led by Arthur and perhaps including Gawain, fears she is a sexual predator (lines 722 ff.). Her appearance and behavior - her raggedness, poverty, and general unkemptness, and her antisocial and indiscriminate consumption of vast quantities of food at the wedding feast - make clear that her repulsiveness is a function of her low estate and not simply a wild monstrosity. What brands Ragnelle as a hag is, in the terms defined by the central question of the poem, a form of desire or lack - a lack of manners, beauty, deference; what certifies her as a lady at the end is her possession of these qualities and of Sir Gawain. Though for the bewitched Ragnelle a good man is hard to find, once found he satisfies all her heart's desire.
The plot of Ragnelle, then, turns on the transformation of its heroine both physically and symbolically, from an ugly hag to a beautiful lady, and from an enigmatic threat to a fulfilled woman. Her double role - both Beauty and the Beast - endows her with a deep ambiguity, enmeshing both attraction and revulsion, fatal danger and life-giving knowledge; such worrisome duplicity often attaches itself to women (and to femininity generally) in popular romance, and throughout Western culture. The poem proceeds to establish a stable and benign identity for Ragnelle by providing a satisfying answer to Gawain's rather frantic question, "What ar ye?" (line 644). This inquiry unmistakably rephrases Ragnelle's pivotal question: "whate [do] wemen love best" (line 91), "whate [do] wemen desyren most" (line 406), what do "wemen desyren moste specialle" (line 465) - which itself uncannily anticipates the notorious formulation of Freud: "Was will das Weib?" - "What does Woman want?" It has sometimes been said that the fascination of this question and the wish to solve the enigma of Woman that it conveys express interests that are typically male (or, in more abstract, cultural terms, masculine). In the case of Ragnelle, the narrative unfolds in ways that have the heroine clearly serve the interests of the male chivalric society that the poem good-humoredly celebrates.
Through her relations with the various male characters - her kinship with Gromer, her compact with Arthur, her union with Gawain - Ragnelle literally holds the poem together, for she is their link with each other. She undoes the threat her brother poses for the court, and then reconciles him to the Round Table; she knows the answer to Arthur's problem and so saves his life and his kingship; she presents Gawain with opportunities to place his spectacular courtesy on display, first towards Arthur, and then towards women. Although Gawain performs his usual service as mediator, taming the strange (Ragnelle) and bringing it safely within the sphere of the court, even his success depends upon the more pervasive mediation of Ragnelle. By passing among these male characters, she becomes the nexus that ties them together and makes possible the fraternal and hierarchic bonds of chivalric solidarity.
Ragnelle explores the ties of chivalry through a structured repetition and variation of a fundamental pattern. This consists of a series of linked and interlocking oaths and commitments (a plotting device that distantly recalls the staggeringly complex interlacing of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight). In the first place, Arthur agrees (under duress) to a compact with Sir Gromer, though Gromer claims he imposes this trial because the king had already broken an obligation to him. Arthur then agrees with Ragnelle upon a second compact which will enable him to escape the first, though its fulfillment depends entirely upon Gawain's compliance. Gawain then agrees to the terms of the second compact, thereby obligating himself to Arthur and to Ragnelle. Ragnelle fulfills her promise, providing Arthur the knowledge that puts him out of Gromer's control (and puts Gromer in danger from Arthur and the court); Gawain fulfills his promise, marrying Ragnelle in a public ceremony and then agreeing to consummate the marriage. When Gawain, faced with what seems an impossible choice concerning Ragnelle's transformation, agrees to allow her to decide, he unwittingly fulfills the terms for setting her free from her enchantment. This outcome not only unites Ragnelle to Gawain, but to the King and Queen; she then uses this amity to bring Arthur and Gromer to reconciliation. Ragnelle ends therefore with everyone established in her or his proper place, and with courtesy restoring the Round Table's customary mutuality and hierarchy. Unmotivated marvels - meetings in the woods, monstrous apparitions, sudden transformations - work to bring about what everyone always wanted or expected, so that the link of fantasy and necessity seems (as it should in romance) inevitable.
Ragnelle deploys another common romance convention by setting the marvelous - especially the unanticipated but fatefully indispensable encounters and compacts that begin the poem - within a wood. The forest is a place for both recreation and mystery, where Arthur and his court go on holiday but where anything can happen. The hunt that starts the action constitutes a characteristic pastime for the English nobility of the late Middle Ages, an activity in which the necessities of survival are turned into a hierarchically nuanced display of strength and knowledge; the king is most a king when he sets off "wodmanly" (line 32) to stalk, kill, and then butcher the deer, conspicuously heedless of danger. Carlisle, Avowyng, and Awntyrs similarly begin with a hunt. The game or compact that Sir Gromer forces upon Arthur succeeds the chase. Though Sir Gromer's may seem an unchivalrous bargain, once Arthur has openly sworn his oath (line 99) he must abide by its rules on his honor, just as he must hold his word to Ragnelle (lines 294 ff.). In this way the romance orders events so that the force of civility and courtesy prevails, and the challenge of the wild is answered within the safe precincts of bedroom and court at the conclusion.
Although Sir Gromer alleges the justice of his complaint against King Arthur - like Sir Galeron in Awntyrs, he says that the king has unjustly stripped him of lands and given these to Sir Gawain (lines 58 ff.) - Ragnelle never stipulates the location of his estates. It does, however, identify the mysterious woods where he makes his appearance: he and his bewitched sister inhabit Inglewood Forest (lines 16, 152, 764, 835), the Cumberland setting for Avowyng, Awntyrs, and, by implication, for Marriage. In addition, the Round Table resides at Carlisle (lines 127, 132, 325), a center for Arthurian adventures in Carlisle, Avowyng, Awntyrs, Greene Knight, Marriage, and Carle. These allusions connect Ragnelle with other Gawain romances, and confer on the whole group a remarkable regional coherence.
The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle survives in a sixteenth-century manuscript now in Oxford (Bodleian 11951, formerly Rawlinson C.86). Madden, in 1839, characterized the text of Ragnelle as recorded "in a negligent hand," "very carelessly written" (pp. lxiv, lxvii). The scribe leaves unclear whether he employs a word-ending stroke simply as a flourish, or as indication of final unstressed -e. Even more confusing is his formation of i and y, which are often indistinguishable; the interchangeability of y for i in Middle English writing often makes it impossible or pointless to choose between them in a modern transcription of this manuscript. Earlier editions have varied considerably on this score. I have transcribed as y those characters that seem clearly y; when the letter form appears ambiguous, I have rendered it as i in conformity with standard conventions of modern spelling. I have usually transcribed the scribe's frequent use of "Ff" and "ff" as "F," though occasionally in mid-line I have given lower case. Capitalization and punctuation are almost entirely editorial.
In the manuscript, Ragnelle appears without stanza breaks. Nonetheless, the poem clearly employs a tail-rhyme stanza common to many other Middle English romances. This consists of six lines rhyming aabccb, with the a and c couplets written in longer lines (often containing ten syllables, usually four stresses), and the b-lines shorter (usually three stresses). The surviving copy of the poem lacks a significant number of individual lines (many of which are tail-rhyme c-lines), and these absences make stanza divisions irregular and uneven. It would be possible to maintain a format of six-line stanzas, and to suggest where omissions fall (as Hartwell does in his edition). However, both the convenience of the reader and the sense of narrative movement seem better served by an editorial division into twelve-line stanzas. This is the format I have chosen, though missing lines do produce several stanzas of irregular length. The manuscript seems also to be lacking at least one leaf (after line 628), but the progress of the story remains clear nonetheless.

DOD Use of Biofuels Enhances National Security
by Andrew Holland | Jan 29, 2013 | Monitor
TUESDAY, JANUARY 29 – Today, the American Security Project (ASP) released a new report, "Advanced Biofuels and National Security" by Andrew Holland, ASP's Senior Fellow for Energy and Climate. This White Paper builds on ASP's long history of demonstrating the importance of reducing oil use for national security and highlighting the work of the Department of Defense in promoting alternative fuels. This report demonstrates that developing advanced biofuels are important in reducing America's dependence on oil; this dependence presents real national security threats to the United States and the American military.
Holland spoke about the contents of the paper on Monday, January 28 at the Washington Clean Technology Alliance's conference, "Clean Energy: The New Public Policy Reality." Also participating in the conference were former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Assistant Secretary of Defense Sharon Burke, Congressman Adam Smith, Governor Jay Inslee, and a range of clean technology entrepreneurs.
Speaking at the conference, Holland explained that advanced biofuels are "fuels made from a low-carbon, sustainable feedstock that can be blended into a fuel supply to provide a drop-in replacement for traditional fuels." Over the last decade, the United States has seen a boom in the production of ethanol made from corn. Today, about 10% of the U.S. fuel supply is composed of corn-based ethanol: this is fuel that would otherwise be made from oil. However, further growth in this industry is unlikely. Advanced biofuels, made from feedstocks like algae, animal fats, grasses, or even municipal wastes, could grow much further.
Advanced biofuels can be refined to act as 'drop in replacements' of current fuels, whether diesel, jet fuel, or gasoline. These fuels have the potential for drop-in compatibility and interoperability with existing equipment and infrastructure. As such,
Rapid advances in advanced biofuel technology and expanding economies of scale that will come from government and private sector investments; the long-term potential for this industry means that it could become a key part of America's entire fuel supply, reducing America's dependence on oil and increasing our national security over the long run.

Do you think, our fake degree holders MNAs and MPAs have a right to sit in Federal and Provincial assemblies.
ISLAMABAD: Courts in several cities of the country on Tuesday sprang into action against former members of the national as well as provincial assemblies, sending at least three ex-lawmakers to jail and issuing arrests warrants of many more for contesting 2008 general election with fake educational degrees and holding dual nationality.
A local court in Swabi district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa gave former member of the provincial assembly Javed Khan Tarakai one-year prison besides a fine of Rs 5,000 in a dual nationality case. Soon after the ruling, Javed was arrested from the Sessions Court and shifted to Swabi judicial lockup. Javed, a Canadian-Pakistani, defeated Awami National Party (ANP) candidate Ameer Rehman in PK-32, Swabi-II, in the 2008 general election. Another former MPA from KP was sentenced to three years in prison for possessing a fake educational degree.
An additional sessions judge in Dera Ismail Khan ruled that Khalifa Abdul Qayyum will have to pay a penalty of Rs 5,000 in addition to his jail term. The former MPA was on bail, which the court annulled on Tuesday. Police arrested him from the courtroom and shifted to the district jail. Qayyum won the 2008 general election as an independent candidate.
In Sibbi, former federal minister Humayun Aziz Kurd, elected to the National Assembly from NA-267 in Balochistan province, was given a one-year jail sentence and fined Rs 5,000 by a court for possessing a fake educational degree. Kurd was also arrested from the courtroom and sent to the district jail.
Arrest warrants were issued for Maulvi Rozuddin, a former parliamentarian from Balochistan, for having a fake degree. Arrest warrant for another former legislator from Balochistan, Syed Nasir Shah, were also issued for possessing a fake degree. Another court in Dera Ghazi Khan indicted Mir Badshah Qaisrani, a former legislator from Punjab, for having a fake degree. In Muzaffargarh, former PPP MNA Jamshed Dasti appeared before a local court and recorded his statement in a fake degree trial.
Speaking to journalists after the hearing, Dasti said that he submitted evidence in the court to prove the authenticity of his degree. He added that final arguments will be made on Wednesday and hoped that he will get justice from the court. Dasti has filed nomination papers to contest elections against former foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar.
In Islamabad, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) declared as fake the madrassa certificate of Maulana Agha Muhammad, a former lawmaker of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam from NA 261 in Balochistan, and referred his case to the sessions judge concerned to take action against him.
Members of Election Commission of Pakistan Justice (r) Shahzad Akbar Khan and Justice (r) Fazalur Rehman heard the case. Last month, the Higher Education Commission had declared that the degrees of 54 politicians were fake while those of 189 former parliamentarians were yet to be verified. The Supreme Court of Pakistan has given 189 former lawmakers time until April 5 to get their degrees verified by the HEC or face disqualification. The chief justice has also ordered a 'ruthless scrutiny' of all persons contesting the May 11 general election.
The HEC had told the apex court that ECP had failed to take action against 54 lawmakers who possessed fake degrees. It told the court that the process of verifying degrees of the lawmakers had been underway since 2010, while the ECP had sent photocopies of the degrees of only 60-70 percent of the parliamentarians for verification.

19-year-old Windsor Forest schooting victim dies
Savannah Morning News
Detectives with the Savannah-Chatham police Violent Crimes Unit are investigating a homicide that occurred Monday night in the Windsor Forest neighborhood.
Just before 8 p.m., officers were dispatched to Stillwood Drive and Oxford Court after receiving a call about a man covered in blood.
The victim, Reginald "Reggie" Williams, 19, of the 800 block of East Gwinnett Street, later died at Memorial University Medical Center.
Detectives said Williams and a second man drove to the Windsor Forest area where they became involved in a discussion with two other men. Williams fled with a gunshot wound and collapsed on a nearby lawn shortly after. The second passenger in the car fled unharmed.
The green Infiniti Q45 they had been driving was stolen and recovered nearby in the Windsor Arms apartment complex on Largo Drive, said Gena Moore, police spokeswoman.
This marks the 10th homicide covered by metro police this year.

Man reaches for officer's gun during tussle, police say
A man who allegedly grew angry over a neighbor trying to cut some grass near his marijuana plant patch Tuesday afternoon was arrested after he tried to grab a Savannah-Chatham police officer's gun.
About 2 p.m. metro police was called to a trailer park on Ogeechee Road west of Chatham Parkway on a report of a disorderly man.
The man suspected of being disorderly, identified as Edgar Lee Hamrick, 47, argued with an officer. The argument elevated to a physical fight and Hamrick also twice tried to grab the officer's gun, said Gena Moore, metro police spokeswoman.
"Yes, sir, fists were being thrown," Moore said. "It's going to get violent when you try to take an officer's gun.
"The suspect is going straight to jail."
A second officer armed with a Taser arrived and deployed his less-than-lethal weapon twice, which eventually brought the suspect back in order, she said.
Neither Hamrick nor the officer was injured, she said.
The Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics Team also was called to the scene to investigate the marijuana patch. The suspect currently faces two charges of obstruction and one charge of removal of firearm from a public official, according to the Chatham County jail website.
A drug charge is pending, Moore said.


When his homebrew obsession got to be too much, Patrick Kelleher's roommates arranged an intervention.
Weekend brewfests had gotten out of hand, they told him. And when a roommate moves out, you can't just fill the empty space with fermenters and turn it into a brewery.
The young hophead was nearing the end of his studies at Ohio State, so his friends urged him to make a decision.
"They said, 'You need to put this to good use and go pro or spend more time doing something else,'" Kelleher remembered. "That was the beginning of the end."
Along with the ultimatum came encouragement about the quality of his work and offers to invest. It wasn't long before Kelleher began formulating plans to open his own full-time operation.
Located just north of Campus, the Neil House wasn't meant to be a brewery - but it gave birth to one.
Kelleher opened Neil House Brewery & Homebrew Supply Shop last April, and his beers started hitting Columbus carry-out shelves earlier this year.
"I got into brewing to support my habit," he said. "From the very first batch, I was hooked."
Like most brewers, Kelleher is passionate about his craft. Get him talking at his East Side facility, and he'll open up barrels to illustrate the difference between chocolate and black patent malts and let you smell a freezer full of hops.
"I love having the homebrew supply shop, because it brings people in," he explained. "That's one of the things I love about this job - talking about beer and talking about the brewery."
So far Neil House has released three selections to the public: Brewmaster's Select Cranberry Cider, Kelleher's Ohio Red and Buckeye Roots Hefeweizen, a stand-out wheat beer with banana notes and a quick, clean finish.
Bottles of all three are available at Weiland's Gourmet Market and Clintonville Community Market. Varieties also are appearing at bars like Hal & Al's and Crest Tavern.
Later this year, Kelleher plans to unleash a pale ale, a milk stout and a stout aged in bourbon barrels. Within the next six to 12 months, he hopes to upgrade to larger, faster production systems and possibly move the current equipment into a sister brewpub.
"It would give me more of a chance to put out some of my more experimental ideas," said Kelleher, who discussed tentative plans for a maple-bacon stout and sorghum ale. "I could put out five gallons a week and see if people like it."


The April 2016 International Urology Journal Club on Twitter (#urojc) hosted a discussion on our paper, "Comparing Publicly Reported Surgical Outcomes with Quality Measures from a Statewide Improvement Collaborative". Published in JAMA Surgery on March 16, 2016, the paper was authored by Gregory Auffenberg MD, David Miller MD, Khurshid Ghani, Zaojun Ye, Apoorv Dhir, Yoquing Gao. I contributed as a member of MUSIC.
For those not familiar, the #urojc Twitter chat is a 48-hour asynchronous conversation amongst urologists around the world on Twitter on a selected journal paper, taking place on the first Sunday/Monday of every month.
The subject of our research centered on the online U.S. surgeon ratings compiled for ProPublica's Surgeon Scorecard. ProPublica is an investigative journalism organization that was given exclusive access to U.S. Medicare data for the years 2009 to 2013.
Specifically, our research paper looked at ProPublica's ratings for only one procedure – results on radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer – and correlation to reporting by MUSIC, the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative. MUSIC is a state-specific quality initiative in the U.S. in which I am a participating surgeon. Participation in MUSIC is voluntary, over 85 percent of urologists in the State of Michigan participate in the collaborative.
As our paper states, the recent release of the Surgeon Scorecard accelerated debate around the merits of publicly reporting surgical outcomes. Surgical outcomes assessment is not a new concept, even dating back to 1860 as this tweet by @mattbultitude surfaced.
What does our community of urologists think about public reporting? Does greater transparency correlate with better outcomes? What are the benefits of a collaborative method like MUSIC? What methods are used in other parts of the world?
The #urojc discussion found that many urologists outside the U.S. were not familiar with the ProPublica ratings or debate. Some were not surprised that we did not find a correlation between our MUSIC outcomes data and the ProPublica data, thereby validating the need for quality outcomes data.
If the Surgeon Scorecard is flawed, what needs to be done to create an acceptable public reporting system?
Is public reporting of surgical outcomes taking place in Australia, UK, Canada & elsewhere?
How are 'outliers' identified by this study handled by MUSIC?
Do ratings lead to cherry-picking of patients?
According to New York cardiologist, Sandeep Jauhar, MD via Medscape, 63 percent of cardiac surgeons acknowledged accepting only relatively healthy patients for heart bypass surgery owing to report cards in New York State.
On behalf of the authors of the paper and the entire MUSIC collaborative, I would like to thank our #urojc colleagues around the world for their thoughts, insights, criticisms and questions about the paper.
The ProPublica Surgeon Scorecard has generated significant and serious discussion in the U.S. about the challenges and merits of the public reporting of surgical outcomes. In an increasingly connected world, it's difficult to imagine how this can remain simply an American debate.
Urologists by their very nature are leaders. Personally, I see this debate as yet another opportunity for us to develop and implement systems and strategies that reassure the public and advance patient care.
Great post and discussion. The key philosophy in MUSIC is measuring to improve, and we emphasize feeding data back to the surgeons and encouraging them to share their specific outcomes with patients.
Movember Foundation welcomes this great discussion around improving outcomes that matter to men. As a large global investor in clinical quality initiatives, we will only see significant improvement through collaboration between key stakeholders. Risk adjusted outcomes that matter to men is a fundamental requirement. We do not want to see a world where clinicians feel compelled to avoid complex cases through simplistic reporting mechanisms.

Cambodia PM says ruling party to dominate politics for up to 100 years
Phnom Penh, Cambodia / Mon, June 22, 2020 / 03:30 pm
Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen waves during his visit to the Cambodian People's Party (CPP) headquarters, currently under construction, in Phnom Penh on June 5, 2020. (AFP/Tang Chhin Sothy )
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on Monday his ruling party would be a dominant force in politics for as long as a century, telling the opposition it should wait until the next life if it wants to take power.
Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party (CPP), which has been in power since 1979, holds every seat in the 125-member legislature after the main opposition was dissolved ahead of a 2018 general election, accused of plotting to overthrow the government.
Hun Sen, one of the world's longest-serving leaders after more than three decades in power, said CPP would remain at the helm and no one could challenge it.
"Who has the capability to replace Hun Sen right now? Let's be honest and come out," he said. "There is no one," he said after inspecting the construction of a new provincial airport.
"But you are the one who wants it, but maybe you wait until next life. When there is Hun Sen's presence, CPP's presence here, you have to wait for the next life," he said in a speech shown live on Facebook.
The Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) was disbanded and 118 members banned for five years in 2017 as part of a broad crackdown on the opposition, civil society and the media ahead of the 2018 election.
Its leader Kem Sokha is charged with treason, accused of conspiring with the United States to overthrow Hun Sen, which he denies.
Hun Sen on Monday said that the CPP's newly built $30 million headquarters in Phnom Penh and its provincial office were signs that the party would lead national politics for a long time to come.
"They are not for two to three years but for the next 50 years, 100 years, you have to remember," Hun Sen added.

Smallmouth fishing on Lake Cumberland
G. Sam Piatt - PDT Outdoors Columnist
I can't give you an updated personal account on Lake Cumberland because I haven't fished it since four years ago this month, but from all reports I'm receiving the smallmouth bass and striper fishing has never been better.
I fished out of Conley Bottom Resort in May 2012 when the lake was still about 45 feet below normal summer pool. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had dropped the level five years prior in order to repair a leak in the dam.
The lake, which covers 65,500 surface acres at normal level, is now back to normal, although this unusual wet May has it up a little more than normal.
Even at that low level in 2012, Creighton Stephens and I caught nice 2- to 3-pound smallmouth, mostly by casting tube worms right in against the rocky shoreline.
As spawning season ends for bass in May, these fish gradually transition from bays and coves to main lake points. Focus on points that are near spawning areas and coves that were productive in spring, and which have both shallow and deep water in proximity. Bass tend to gradually move deeper as the water warms up in summer. Deep, rocky points can also be productive for walleye and stripers. Trolling with diving crankbaits is an effective way to find fish; and casting with jigs, crankbaits and soft plastic baits becomes more effective — and arguably more fun — once you have located fish.
BIG STRIPERS
Cumberland is famous for its big, rod-bending striped bass, which in May are being caught mostly at night, and on surface lures. But daytime anglers might at any given time see the surface broiling as stripers drive shad up from the depths and then rip into them with their ravenous appetite. Any kind of lure cast into this frenzied mass will generally hook a striper. It's exciting fishing, to say the least.
Striper guide services I have used report stripers (also called rockfish) measuring three feet in length are being taken.
Some reports say Cumberland's smallmouth fishing has grown to be better than that found in Dale Hollow Lake, which lies about 60 miles to the southwest. In the1950s Dale Hollow gave up the world's record smallmouth, one weighing 11 pounds, 15 ounces.
It's a four-hour drive from the Ashland/Portsmouth area to Conley Bottom.
Creighton and I, acting on friend and guide Ottie Snyder's advice, turned right out of the marina and began fishing after traveling just a few hundred yards.
We caught smallmouth – and largemouth – by casting tube jigs to within a foot of the shore line and working them back towards us in a slow, deliberate fashion. We landed three smallmouth exceeding the 18-inch legal size limit, plus a number of smaller fish.
Rock and shale slides or places where long-dead trees had fallen into the river were the spots that produced.
I use the pronoun "we" loosely here, for Creighton did most of the catching while I shouted out instructions and provided moral support.
The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources must feel confident that smallmouth are plentiful on Cumberland. An angler can keep six of them a day if they exceed 18 inches. The regulations call for a creel limit of six black bass, either singly or a combined total of smallmouth, largemouth and Kentucky (spotted) bass.
On Dale Hollow, on both the Kentucky and Tennessee portions of the lake, a 16- to 21-inch protective slot limit is imposed on smallmouth. An angler may keep per day over 21 inches and one under 16 inches.
Cumberland has a 24-inch minimum size limit on stripers. The creel limit is two per day.
The Lighthouse Café is located on the dock, offering a great view of the lake and serving chicken, steak and seafood done in southern style.
There are lots of houseboats for rent of different sizes and price plans. For information on rates, or to make reservations, call (606) 348-6351, or write Conley Bottom Resort, 736 Highway 1275 North, Monticello, KY 42633.
Conley Bottom is located on Highway 90 between Somerset and Monticello. It's all in Wayne County, which offers numerous attractions for a summer vacation.

ANOTHER GROUSE
After reading last Sunday's column about a wild ruffed grouse that walked up to turkey hunters Winford and Jeff Porter and allowed itself to be picked up, Robert Griffin of Boyd County called to report a similar incident.
Griffin said it was about 10 years ago when he was picking blackberries along Skyline Drive in Ashland. He parted some vines and brush in search of those big shade berries when he came almost face to face with a grouse. Instead of flying, it allowed him to pick it up.
"I thought maybe it was sick, but its eyes were bright and clear and there was not a thing wrong with it in anyway," Griffin said.
Just to make sure, he tossed the grouse into the air, and off it flew with a roar of wings.
"I've heard old timers say that there is a certain berry that if grouse eat them it makes them intoxicated," he said.
But the grouse did not appear to be driving— er, flying— erratically.

This tart, refreshing, sweet, and tangy pie is one of the most popular dishes at the Atlanta, Georgia seafood restaurant. Instead of a traditional graham cracker crumb crust, Justiniano uses a scratch-made graham cracker dough to ensure the dessert maintains its shape and its satisfying crunch-factor. She crafts a filling of sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest, and finishes the pie by topping it with fresh and dehydrated meringue for extra texture.
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl with a whisk till fully homogenized.
Pour over par baked shells.
Bake at 325, covered till set.
Bake time varies with size of shell for 6 inch tarts about 12 minutes just till the curd has a tight short jiggle. The curd should not catch any color nor rise.
In a kitchen aid bowl cream butter, sugar, salt, and honey with the paddle attachment till light and fluffy about 3 minutes.
Stop the kitchen aid add cinnamon and baking soda and paddle for a minute.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the all purpose and wheat flour mix till just combined, once the dough comes together stop mixing, do not over mix.
Allow to cool the roll out to fit shells.
Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit till toasty about 8 minutes.
With a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, add sugar with enough water to make it look like wet sand and lemon juice, clean the sides of the bowl with water so there is no sugar on the walls of your pot.
Cook sugar over medium heat until the mixture reaches firm ball stage or 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. You can stir until the sugar dissolves.
Once the sugar mixture has reached firm ball stage, turn the mixer onto medium and in a slow steady stream, pour the sugar mixture into the beaten egg whites.
Once all of the sugar mixture has been added, beat on high for 5 minutes.
Add vanilla extract and salt, beat on medium for 3 minutes.

« Lebanon's Prime Minister Hariri puts resignation 'on hold' | Michigan's biggest newspaper calls on Conyers to resign »
Yes, Fusion GPS paid off journalists
By Monica Showalter
Digging through court documents, the Washington Examiner has found an admission from Fusion GPS that it did indeed pay journalists who covered the Trump-Russia collusion "narrative" that Fusion GPS was "researching" and spreading for the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign.
WashEx reports:
Newly filed court documents confirm that Fusion GPS, the company mostly responsible for the controversial "Trump dossier" on presidential candidate Donald Trump, made payments to three journalists between June 2016 until February 2017.
The revelation could be a breakthrough for House Republicans, who are exploring whether Fusion GPS used the dossier, which was later criticized for having inaccurate information on Trump, to feed anti-Trump stories to the press during and after the presidential campaign. The three journalists who were paid by Fusion GPS are known to have reported on "Russia issues relevant to [the committee's] investigation," the House Intelligence Committee said in a court filing.
Fusion GPS justified its payoffs by saying it paid these reporters only for "research" as if it couldn't get what it wanted any other way and somehow only these people could help research what the company wanted for its DNC and Clinton campaign clients. Kind of like the way they hired Christopher Steele?
It's an odd inversion of the fact that a media company, the Washington Free Beacon, paid Fusion GPS for "research" on Trump at the initial stage of the dossier's assemblage. Think of the weird implication: Media Company A can't get the info it wants, so it pays Fusion GPS to get it, since Fusion GPS supposedly has much better researchers than the Free Beacon's reporters. Fusion GPS in turn pays off reporters from either the same or another media organization for the research because those reporters are supposedly much better researchers than Fusion's hacks. Then, research in hand, it theoretically could have gone back to Media Company A.
Incest, anyone?
What we are seeing here is excuse-making. Fusion GPS paid off journalists for "research" just as surely as if it had paid for commissioned stories. It represents a lawyerly deception to think otherwise. What likely happened is that Fusion GPS bathed these reporters in a "narrative" of "research" the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC wanted out there and then asked them their opinion or something to fulfill the "research" justification. With this media practice going on, and I doubt Fusion GPS was the only practitioner of such "research" with the journos, is it any wonder the press coverage narrative was so uniform?
And more to the point, did the public deserve this? The public was deceived into thinking the mainstream press reports it read about Trump and Russian collusion were reported without fear or favor. Turns out there's fear of exposure for what were a lot of favors in this Fusion GPS situation – in the ever consolidating and increasingly uniform mainstream media. Is it any wonder that with this the general practice, the public trusts the media less than ever? And that a major reason it turned to Trump was that it felt that the press was not giving Trump a fair shake?
The sooner the miscreants who took the Fusion GPS cash for research are exposed and their stories examined, the better. There's a reason Fusion GPS didn't want the reporters' names exposed, and that's the fact that the public would want these people fired if the truth got out about their side dealings. But if there is ever something the public has a right to know, it's the identities of reporters who take payoffs, decline to tell the public, and then go reporting on the very topics they claim to be objectively examining.

WILMINGTON, N.C. – To ensure the security of airline passengers and the nation's airports, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will begin implementing new, stronger screening procedures for carry-on items at Wilmington International Airport (ILM) on April 14th. The new procedures, which were announced last year, require travelers to place all electronics larger than a cell phone in bins for X-ray screening in standard lanes. TSA recommends that all travelers arrive at the airport up to two hours in advance of their flight departure time to ensure they have enough time to check in with their airline and go through security.
TSA officers will begin to ask travelers to remove electronics larger than a cell phone from their carry-on bags and place them in a bin with nothing on top or below, similarly to how laptops have been screened for years. This simple step helps TSA officers obtain a clearer X-ray image.
It is possible that passengers may experience more bag checks, however, through extensive testing, TSA identified ways to improve screening procedures with quicker and more targeted measures to clear the bags.
The new security measures do not apply to passengers enrolled in TSA Pre✓® who are using TSA Pre✓® lanes. TSA also marked another milestone earlier this month with TSA Pre✓® now available at more than 200 airports nationwide. Travelers enrolled in TSA Pre✓® do not need to remove shoes, 3-1-1 liquids, laptops, electronics, light outerwear, or belts. The program allows TSA to focus resources on passengers who may pose a high risk to security while providing expedited screening to those travelers who have been identified as low-risk, trusted travelers.

Scholes, Judith: "Emily Dickinson and New England Women's Poetry in Mrs. Cooke's Springfield Republican"
Emily Dickinson and New England Women's Poetry in Mrs. Cooke's Springfield Republican
Judith Scholes, University of British Columbia
My paper examines New England's provincial daily newspaper, the Springfield Republican, which, under Samuel Bowles III (1826-1878) and his literary editor Fidelia Hayward Cooke (1819-1897), implemented a major push for regional women's poetry during the 1860s that made the paper as a whole more "New Englandly," to borrow Emily Dickinson's adjective, while also extending New England – and particularly New England women's poetry – into national and global matters. As I argue, Cooke's presence at the paper mobilized this shift; her editing marks a distinctive material rhetoric that negotiated a consistent place for regional women's poetry, including her own, beside frontline Civil War news. To illustrate this point, I turn briefly to the March 1, 1862 issue of the Springfield Republican, which printed Dickinson's "Safe in their Alabaster Chambers" (Fr 124) as "The Sleeping" at the top of the "Original Poetry" section. This poem's positioning offers a fascinating glimpse of Cooke's efforts to make regional women's poetry serve as a faithful refuge for war-weary readers. It also raises an important question about Dickinson's affiliations beyond the local: what did it mean for Dickinson to encounter her own poem striving, in concert with other regional women's poetry, to negotiate the crises of the wider world in the Republican's daily news?

The cultural stand was open to the public every day during the Fair and became a true point of attraction for those who wanted to find out about the origin of their last name and the location of the villages they come from on a map of Euskal Herria. Among the visitors greeted by Ongi Etorri was Argentine writer Sylvia Iparraguirre, who autographed and gifted a book to the institution.
San Pedro, Argentina. Organized by the local Italian Society, the First San Pedro's Book and Writer Fair took place on October 3-6 at the Society's headquarters. Many people attended and various communities in the city participated. Each one of them had a space to introduce their work and elements of the cultural heritage of the nation they represent.
"The schools' participation was also very impressive," Mindurry added since some professors were actually able to explain the caracteristics and situation of the Basque Country to their students as they visited the stand.
Also on Saturday, October 4th, writer Sylvia Iparraguirre attended the Fair. After talking about her novel La orfandad (The Orphan,) Iparraguirre visited the Basque stand to spend some time with the folks from Ongi Etorri. She gifted them an autographed copy of her book for the club's library.


Lauren Meale, is the gorgeous gal behind the super successful and motivating insta page @nourishing.loz ! This is one of the first food grams I ever followed and I still get so much motivation from it everyday! It's super cool, so if you don't follow already - definitely go do that NOW!! Lauren is such a beautiful soul and is so real and down to earth, she's definitely not afraid to let you know she stayed in bed that morning or stayed out late hehe .. which I absolutely love and I really admire how authentic she is!
Enjoy reading through her interview lovelies!
I am 20 years old, I study finance and commercial law at Victoria University in Wellington but am originally from Auckland. I am a hard worker, bit of a perfectionist and I really like coffee. I have been active all my life, as a kid this was mostly team sports. These days I like to train at Les Mills, (either classes, by myself or with a PT), or push myself on a long run. I am obsessed with the feeling of knowing you are stronger/faster/fitter than you were yesterday. I love experimenting in the kitchen and eating well. I am passionate about inspiring other young women to be the best versions of themselves by fuelling their bodies, keeping active and being positive and confident.
When I think of health, I like to think holistically. Its great to be physically healthy but if this is taken too far, or negatively affecting your mental/emotional health, then you aren't truly 'healthy.' Too often I see young girls developing eating disorders, suffering from hormonal imbalance, or malnourished and lacking certain nutrients (e.g. Iron, B12) from overly restrictive diets. Its great to eat well and feel good, but if going out for ice cream gives you anxiety then it might be time to take a step back and reevaluate.
I like to stay healthy by nourishing my body and soul. I love smoothies, salads and moving my body every day; but I also love taking time to chill out, catch up with friends and do the little things that make you truly happy. Relaxation is so undervalued! A stressed body is never a healthy one.
While uni can be pretty full on, in a lot of ways the student life is super flexible and I am so thankful for that! Three days a week I have 8am lectures, this suits me just fine as I am a morning person anyway! I typically spend the morning at uni, studying, going to lectures and tutorials, then manage to get back to my flat for lunch. I will then do some chores, finish off any uni work that needs doing and head back out, either for a run or to the gym. I like to get home not long after dark, make a big nourishing dinner and settle in for the night with tea and either a good book, Netflix or any assignments.
Like I said, every day is different! Some days I workout in the morning and might not even have to go to uni at all. I have a lot of meetings to fit in each week and prioritize catching up with friends as well.
My go to breakfast (when its not too cold) is a big smoothie bowl with muesli. I make sure I add both a source of fat and protein to make sure I have sustained energy throughout the morning.
Mid-morning I will usually grab a coffee somewhere close to uni. I like to mix up my order but love a good soy latte.
If I make it home for lunch then hopefully I've got some leftover roast vegetables that I can turn into a salad with some pesto and poached eggs. Avocado and eggs on toast is another one of my go-to's!
I like to snack on bliss balls, fruit, nuts, yogurt and make sure I am fuelled before my workout!
I'm pretty bad at late night snacking and will usually have some dark chocolate or nut butter with a few cups of tea.
I think the most important thing you can do is learning to listen to your body. It takes practice for sure, but I feel like these days I am totally in tune with what my body wants. When you work with it rather than against it, that's when you really feel great and make progress. I can tell when my body is craving some red meat, when it needs to rest, when it wants to run, when it wants a big bowl of fruit and I am so thankful to finally be in tune with these cues.
I think I'm quite lucky that outwardly, I'm not a huge stressor. I put a lot of pressure on myself to do well but at the same time I'm quite strategic about what I will get worked up about/put a lot of hours into. I am definitely all for taking time out each day to do whatever makes you feel good, whether that's running, yoga, netfilx, reading etc. Recharging is super important!
About three years ago I was incredibly underweight, malnourished and unwell from taking 'healthy' way too far. The hardest part of my wellness journey has definitely been recovering from that dark place and finding myself again.
Honestly I think the worse feeling in the world is getting a result and knowing you could have done better. It doesn't matter if it's a grade or a running time. If you've put your heart and soul into it you won't care that it's a C or that you came 112th.
Kumara, avocado and peanut butter!
Definitely depends on how I'm feeling! Probably either a long run or GRIT strength but some days a walk or yoga class serves me better.
Life is for living – eat the damn cake, stay out til 4am, make mistakes, and put your heart and soul in to whatever makes you feel alive.
Thanks so much Lauren for being apart of "IN HER SNEAKERS" and thanks for being such an inspiration!!

They have gone to every Super Bowl game. This year might be their final trip
Published February 9, 2022 at 7:10 PM EST
Hyosub Shin/Atlanta Journal-Constitution
via AP/File
From left, Tom Henschel, Gregory Eaton and Don Crisman have attended every Super Bowl since the first AFL-NFL World Championship 55 years ago. They're meeting at the Super Bowl again this year but future meetings are in question.
Updated February 12, 2022 at 11:59 AM ET
PORTLAND, Maine — Three friends who have attended every Super Bowl are hoping for a memorable contest this year, because it will probably be their final trip to the big game as a group.
The three men are all in their 80s and have attended every game since the first AFL-NFL World Championship Game was held 55 years ago about 7 miles from this year's venue, SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. They are meeting at the game once again this year, but future meetings are in question.
Don Crisman, a Maine resident and the eldest of the group at 85, said this is his last game. Gregory Eaton, 82, of Michigan, wants to keep attending but said his health concerns could get in the way. Even Tom Henschel, a football fanatic who spends the cold months in Florida, said Super Bowl LX in 2026 figures to be his last.
The far-flung friends use the Super Bowl to meet up, spend time together and reminisce. But in recent years they've come to grips with the fact it must come to an end one day, said Henschel, 80.
"I still think I have a few years left. I'm going to try to make it to 60. But old man age is catching up to all of us," he said.
Crisman and Henschel first met at the 1983 Super Bowl, and Eaton met them decades later in the mid-2010s. Their small club of fans who have been to every Super Bowl has dwindled over the years as other members have aged and passed on.
This year's game has special significance for the fans because they'll be able to sit together again, as is their common practice. They were several rows apart at last year's Super Bowl in Tampa, Florida, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Attendance at last year's game was also limited to 22,000. Eaton said the fans are looking forward to a more traditional big crowd at the Super Bowl this year.
He'll be cheering for the home team Los Angeles Rams, because he feels seeing Rams quarterback Matt Stafford win a Super Bowl is the closest he'll get to seeing his beloved Detroit Lions win the big one. Stafford played for the Lions for more than a decade before finding stardom and success in L.A.
"We just love football," Eaton said, adding that he shelled out about $2,500 for his ticket — about 400 times more than the cheap seats cost in 1967.
Crisman, a Patriots fan, said he's "moving slower, but I guess that's better than the alternative" as he gets ready for his last Super Bowl. The friends plan to meet up Thursday in Los Angeles.
He said he has one caveat about this Super Bowl being his last.
"Barring a Mac Jones miracle next year," he said, referencing the Patriots young quarterback. "One year at a time, but I'm feeling we're very near the end."

Q: RuntimeError: mat1 and mat2 shapes cannot be multiplied (32x400 and 600x120) I have the following CNN below and I am getting the following error  RuntimeError: mat1 and mat2 shapes cannot be multiplied (32x400 and 600x120). Im using the CIFAR10 dataset which contains a total of 6,000 32x32 images with 10 labels. If I understand correctly, the size input into x = F.relu(self.fc1(x)) should be 600x200 but the input is actually 32x400. Where I am lost is which portion I need to change (or calculate).
transform = transforms.Compose([
    transforms.ToTensor(),
    transforms.Normalize((0.5,), (0.5,))
])

batch_size = 32

cifar10 = torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(root='./data', download=True, transform=torchvision.transforms.ToTensor())
pivot = 40000
cifar10 = sorted(cifar10, key=lambda x: x[1])
train_set = torch.utils.data.Subset(cifar10, range(pivot))
val_set = torch.utils.data.Subset(cifar10, range(pivot, len(cifar10)))
train_loader = DataLoader(train_set, batch_size=batch_size, shuffle=True)

I attempted solutions from other posts with similar error but wasn't able to fix my code. I also attempted adding torch.nn.AdaptiveMaxPool2d but I don't think I used that correctly and not sure if I actually need to use that.

A: It's better to use "same" padding convolution 2d if downsampling is performed by average pooling.
class Network(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Network, self).__init__()
        self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(3, 6, kernel_size=5, padding=2)
        self.pool = nn.MaxPool2d(2, 2) # downsample / 2
        self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(6, 16, kernel_size=5, padding=2)
        self.fc1 = nn.Linear(8*8*16, 120)
        self.fc2 = nn.Linear(120, 2)
        self.fc3 = nn.Linear(2, 10)
        self.flatten = nn.Flatten(1)

    def forward(self, x):

Smoothie Industry Poised for Strong Sales As Communities Reopen
Already popular for serving up snacks and meal replacements, experts predict that Planet Smoothie franchises are poised for growth in 2021
The combination of fast and delicious put the best smoothie franchise, Planet Smoothie® on the map decades ago. Consumers love that they can find traditional favorites, or create their own combination, from a varied and ever-changing menu. And franchise owners love that this brand can be up and running quickly in a variety of sites.
And now, as communities safely reopen, people get out and about again and life returns to normal, look for more Planet Smoothie franchises to to pen.
Industry analysts predict sharp uptick in smoothie sales
In fact, the global smoothie market, which held steady at a whopping $20.3 billion in 2020 during very challenging conditions, is climbing and could go as high as $34.2 billion by 2027, according to analysts at Research and Markets.
That's close to double-digit growth and could set records. The U.S. portion alone of that growth may go as high as $15.8 billion by 2027. In 2020, researchers said the U.S. smoothie market hit $5.5 billion. "That means there is a lot of opportunity out there," says John Wuycheck, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development for Planet Smoothie.
Hitting the sweet spot of convenience and value
"Planet Smoothie has always been a very strong player in the smoothie segment, and as such has led the way as smoothies took off in popularity a few years back," Wuycheck says. "What was thought to be a fad has proven to be a very durable market sector, and so Planet Smoothie franchise owners find themselves in a very enviable spot."
Getting through 2020 was challenging, most certainly, but now that consumers are out, about and on the move again, this can be the perfect opportunity to join a brand that has staying power and is on pace to build market share and can produce significant franchise-owner revenue in the coming months and years.

The squad includes 2009 World Champion and 2010 double Commonwealth Games Champion Tom Daley, 18, who is selected for his second Olympics to compete in both the men's 10m individual competition, and together with Peter Waterfield, in the men's 10m synchronised event.
Waterfield is the most experienced British diver selected and will compete in his fourth consecutive Olympics. At the Athens 2004 Games he won Team GB's first diving medal since 1960 alongside Leon Taylor in the 10m synchronised event.
Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow will go into London 2012 full of confidence in the women's 10m synchronised event after making history by becoming Britain's first women's European Diving Champions in Eindhoven last month.
Nick Robinson-Baker and Chris Mears are selected in the men's 3m synchronised event after claiming their third consecutive men's 3m synchro title at the British Championships, which took place in Sheffield this weekend.
One of the youngest members of the squad is Jack Laugher, 17, who demonstrated his potential by winning the British men's 3m springboard title on Saturday and Stacie Powell helped to secure her place on Team GB with victory in the women's 10m individual event.
The addition of the 12 divers brings the total number of athletes officially selected to compete for Team GB at London 2012 to 207 across 18 sport disciplines: archery, athletics – marathon, badminton, boxing, canoe slalom, diving, fencing, hockey, modern pentathlon, rowing, sailing, shooting, swimming, synchronised swimming, table tennis, taekwondo, triathlon and weightlifting.
The athletes were formally nominated to the BOA for selection to Team GB by British Swimming, the National Governing Body for all aquatics disciplines in the UK.
"British divers have recorded many exceptional results over the past four years since the last Olympic Games in Beijing and I believe the thousands of fans who will fill the fantastic London 2012 Aquatics Centre will experience some great competition this summer.
"I am really pleased to see a strong set of athletes that have today been selected on to Team GB. We have a good mix of youth and experience on the squad with half of the athletes going to their first Olympics.
"To compete at a home Olympics is a special experience and I think that the divers will get a boost from the home crowd support.
"The results of the British Championships 2012 have impressed me greatly. I have never seen such a high quality of diving at the National competition. I am pleased to say that I am also proud of our coaches who have been so motivated. They approached this event with highest level of professionalism.
"I am really excited to be part of Team GB for the London 2012 Olympics. To be able to say that I will be competing in front of that home crowd is amazing.
"I can't wait to see the home crowd. There'll be 17,500 people all behind us wanting us to do well and I can't wait to hear the noise they'll make.
"This year has been really good for Sarah and I, we are World Cup bronze medallists and European Champions and now we are both part of Team GB for London.
"To be going to my first Olympics which will be a home Games is something I could only have dreamt of and now I am on the team list I am really excited.
"Competing at the World Championships and the World Cup in this last year was great for increasing my experience and I think that helped me keep my cool at the trial event this week.
"I am really over the moon to be part of Team GB. It is going to be such an honour to represent Great Britain at a home Olympics.
"Since the disappointment of not making the Beijing team I have had many ups and downs to get to today's announcement. I was making real headway until Feb 2011 and then I had my accident which threw me yet another curve ball. It has taken a lot but I am now fully back, ready and excited to put on my Team GB Tracksuit. I really can't wait to be back on the boards in London competing in front of an amazing home crowd. It really is a dream come true."


I was reading some BBC's news at their Web site this morning.
In fact, I have read all current articles about Kosovo crises.
from Albania during the past week.

but obviously very eye/ear-catchy, statement.
is to mobilise readers toward pro-NATO attitude.
reports about Kosovo crises, but with different prefix.

Kick-off for the CoboTank project at the DST
The project entitled "Development and testing of collaborative and automated robotic systems to support the loading process of tankers" started with a kick-off event in Duisburg.
The project addresses future-proof, automated solutions in the area of liquid cargo handling in german inland ports, an area of the inland waterway transportation which is dominated by manual, physically demanding work with prone to error. Together with the collaborative partners from Garant Mineralölhandelsgesellschaft mbH, Deymann Tankrode Logistics GmbH, Port of Hamburg Marketing e. V., Mercatronics GmbH and the Department of General Psychology: Cognition and the Chair of Mechatronics of the University of Duisburg-Essen the goal is to design a partially automated (Cobot) and a fully automated Robot. The use of a Cobot promises to increase the safety and improve ergonomic aspects, while the robot will demonstrate the possibilities of automation during handling processes. The collaborative partners are also supported by the Bundesverband der Deutschen Binnenschifffahrt e. V. (BDB) and the Unabhängiger Tanklagerverband e. V. (UTV) as associated partners.
The Cobot will be designed in a scale of 1:10 and validated in the Research Lab for Innovative Port Technologies (HaFoLa) of the DST in Duisburg before being build in a real scale at the Europäisches Sicherheitszentrum Duisburg. The project CoboTank will be the first project taking place in the Research Lab for Innovative Port Technologies.

At the kick-off event on July 4, 2022, the consortium met for the first time in the presence of representatives of the project sponsor. During the event project organization and first technical discussion were held. Another topic were reference visits to corresponding facilities. The event ended with a guided tour of the test facilities at the DST and a visit to the tank section of the Europäisches Sicherheitszentrum Duisburg e. V. at the Schiffer-Berufskolleg RHEIN.
