POTSDAM, N.Y. – Freshman goalkeeper Kadi Bice (Lorraine, N.Y.) turned away one of 11 saves in the closing seconds Wednesday afternoon as the visiting Morrisville State Mustangs women's lacrosse team picked up a thrilling 12-11 win over host Potsdam in Potsdam.
Freshman Kadi Bice (Lorraine, N.Y.) turned away one of her 11 game total saves with 3.8 seconds to go in the contest to secure a non-conference win over host SUNY Potsdam Wednesday afternoon in Potsdam.
Potsdam was awarded a free position and in an attempt to tie the contest in the closing seconds, Bice stepped forward to make the save and the Mustangs defense came up with the ground ball to seal the win.
Morrisville State led 5-2 at the half, before the home Bears steam rolled nine scores in the second to make it a one goal game.
Courtney Cavellier (Rodman, N.Y.) led the Mustangs with five goals, including the game winner on a free position with 3:24 to go in the contest. Cavellier added eight draw control wins to her tallies on the day.
Senior Celia Abbott (Shortsville, N.Y.) collected a hat trick behind her three goals, while junior attack Chelsea McNeal (Ithaca, N.Y.) contributed a five point effort with two goals and three assists.
Makenzi Santini (Fairport, N.Y.) and Melissa Lucciola (Monroe, N.Y.) rounded out the Mustang scoring with one goal apiece.
Morrisville State edged Potsdam in play on the draw, 13-12, and played even in shots at 30.
Morrisville State returns to the field Saturday, hosting Buffalo State College in a noon match on Drake Field in Morrisville.

PITTSBURGH—A county sheriff threatened to cut off the hands of a political campaign worker, pulled a gun on a newspaper reporter and then intimidated underlings and other witnesses so they wouldn't confirm the encounters to journalists and investigators, police and prosecutors said Monday.
Beaver County Sheriff George David delivered expletive-fueled rants and uttered a racial slur to his alleged victims, according to a nine-page grand jury report supporting the charges.
"Shake my hand. I'll cut your … hands off and I'll eat them. I'll cut your hands off," David told a Democratic campaign worker whom the sheriff believed had spoken ill about him behind his back, according to the grand jury.
David, a 65-year-old Democrat from Aliquippa, was arrested Monday at his office in Beaver, about 25 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, and arraigned by a district judge who set a preliminary hearing April 1. He was charged with simple assault, witness intimidation, terroristic threats, reckless endangerment, official oppression and obstructing the administration of law.
The sheriff does not have a listed home telephone number. His office referred calls to solicitor Myron Sainovich, who didn't immediately return messages. The county commissioners issued a statement saying they had no authority over David, because he's an elected official.
The campaign volunteer didn't report David's November 2011 threat to law enforcement for fear of losing his county job, authorities said.
When an online news website, the Beaver Countian, reported on it the following June, David then allegedly threatened the volunteer again.
In April, David allegedly also threatened the website's owner and lead reporter, John Paul Vranesevich, who had written about a controversy involving the purchase of deputies' uniforms.
Seated behind his desk, with two other deputies present, David allegedly threatened Vranesevich and complained about other stories written by J.D. Prose, a reporter for the Beaver County-Times. Referring to Prose, David put a blackjack on his desk and told Vranesevich he would beat Prose "worse than I used to beat the (blacks) in Aliquippa," using a racial slur, authorities said.
The grand jury said that encounter reached a "crescendo" when David began shouting, "If I knew I was going to die today, I would blow their … brains out"—referring to Prose and county Prothonotary Nancy Werme, who David reportedly doesn't like, the grand jury found.
As the sheriff repeated that statement, witnesses said he took his gun from his holster and screamed at the online journalist, who previously had a good relationship with David.
"I'll blow your … brains out, too," the sheriff said, according to the grand jury.
Vranesevich ran from the courthouse and told the grand jury he called the county detectives and also called Prose and Werme to warn them of David's remarks.
Afterward, two deputies wrote reports denying "that anything inappropriate happened during the meeting," the grand jury wrote, with one telling the panel he did so for fear of losing his job. Both deputies also told state troopers that David did nothing appropriate, before the deputy told the grand jury that David had asked him to lie.
"In the weeks and months following the incident, the sheriff repeatedly reiterated to at least one deputy that 'it never happened,'" the grand jury wrote. "This was understood as an effort on the sheriff's part to ensure that he maintained the deputy's loyalty and prevented the truth from being disclosed."
David was allowed to remain free after his arraignment, but was ordered by a district judge to have no contact with the alleged victims, to surrender his blackjack, and not to carry a firearm.

A pesticide is developed to control rice diseases and insect pests without polluting the environment. This is the "small goal" of Xia Yuxian, a professor at Chongqing University and chief scientist of Chongqing Julixin Biotecb Co., Ltd. for which he studied for 11 years.
Recently, the team developed a broad-spectrum pesticide suspension of Metarhizium anisopliae oil and wettable powder and completed the pesticide registration with field trials, and granted the active ingredient and formulation of the national new pesticide registration and production license. It will enter the stage of mass production by the end of this year.
"I am a real rural child, and my dream is to engage in agriculture." Xia Yuxian said he had a quarrel with his father about going for the entrance exam to Agricultural University, but finally persuaded his parents, and was enrolled in Sichuan Agricultural University.
In 1991, Xia Yuxian was admitted to Southwest Agricultural University, and began his postgraduate study, turning his major to cotton breeding; in 1996, he was awarded a Sino-British Friendship Scholarship to study biochemistry at the University of Bath, England, for a doctorate degree; in 2000, he founded the Center for Genetic Engineering Research of Chongqing University.
"Crops are most afraid of pests and diseases.He was trying to solve the problem of pests and help farmers gain better yield." Xia Yuxian said. In 2003, he led the research and development team of the first domestic "grasshopper killing by Metarhizium anisopliae - a biological pesticide" in the northern ten provinces of the main locust devastating areas to carry out the application, locust control rate was reached as high as 90%. In 2006, the Xia Yuxian team's research projects were listed as the "863 National Biological Pesticide Program" in the 11th Five-Year Plan.
Xia Yuxian said that although biopesticides have many advantages, their market share is very low due to the shorter shelf life and higher production costs. And he found that many pesticides target only one pest, and farmers are not pesticide experts and often buy the wrong pesticides. If one strain can be developed to kill all the major pests that may occur during the whole growth period of a crop, it will be convenient for farmers and protect the environment.
They first aimed research on pests that plagued rice producing areas. The data showed that there were more than 40 kinds of rice pests, among which Chilo suppressalis, rice leaf roller and rice planthopper are the most damaging pests, which could lead to a significant reduction in rice yield. Under the condition of pesticide control, the loss caused by pests still accounts for more than 5% of the total yield of rice.
After repeated studies, researchers found a broad spectrum of Metarhizium anisopliae strains among more than 1000 insecticidal microorganisms. With the support of the Agricultural Department, thousands of acres of experimental demonstration and large-scale application have been carried out in the main rice producing areas of Hubei and Hunan since 2011, and nearly 100 experimental demonstration sites had been established. It is found that this biological pesticide is not only efficient and broad-spectrum, but also simple and convenient to use.
"In 2012 in Xiushan experimental field, the sound of frogs in our field was heard, the other fields with traditional pesticides are quiet." Xia Yuxian said with a smile, this is because traditional pesticides kill insects and other organisms like natural enemies together. However, the biopesticides they studied only kill pests, which are safe for human beings, livestock and all kinds of beneficial organisms, and have little impact on non-target organisms.

Our View | What Defines Us: The Spirit of a Community
Signal Editorial Board
Illustration by Jim Madsen, a Saugus resident and parent of a Saugus High School graduate.
By The Signal Editorial Board
When an earthquake wreaked destruction upon the Santa Clarita Valley in 1994, the biggest takeaway was how the community pulled together in a time of crisis.
Strangers supported and comforted each other, neighbors helped each other, and the entire community came together in a spirit of mutual recovery.
The earthquake didn't define us 25 years ago. The spirit of the community did.
That spirit remains today.
In the wake of the tragic Nov. 14 shooting that left three Saugus High School students dead, three more wounded and many thousands of hearts broken, we have seen this community pull together once more.
From the vigil that packed Central Park a week ago, to the shows of support from other high schools that would normally consider Saugus a crosstown rival, to the many individuals, businesses and even support dogs that helped provide comfort — we have seen what this community is made of.
Hugs. Shoulders to cry on. Tributes. Well-thought-out distractions. Fundraising drives to help families torn by the loss of a child.
Carefully planned campus events to help students heal and recover because, at some point, in the aftermath of every trauma, everyone has to roll up their sleeves and go back to doing what they do.
Since Nov. 14, this community has been focused on taking care of loved ones, friends, colleagues — anyone affected by what happened in the quad at Saugus High School.
It affected different people to different degrees. Those most devastated are of course the families, friends and loved ones of those who died. Our hearts go out to all of them.
This shooting also affected so many thousands of others — from the kids who were wounded, or witnessed it, to the first responders to the faculty members and students who spent a seeming eternity on lockdown, not knowing whether an active shooter was still on campus.
Through it all, we saw these things reinforced:
We are a great community of caring and giving people. Everyone should be proud of the response from the community after the tragic events of last week — from the William S. Hart Union High School District to the students and staff, the first responders and the Sheriff's Department and Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital. The city of Santa Clarita, too, stepped up to the plate and helped the community in numerous ways, from helping with parent-student reunification at Central Park in the hours after the shooting to taking the lead role in coordinating the powerful vigil attended by thousands at the park three days later.
And, the local residents and businesses who banded together to donate and offer aid and comfort wherever needed.
We should all be proud of the way this city responded to this tragic challenge. This community acted and reacted with class and dignity in a daunting situation.
But we must not allow the events of last week to define our city. The shooting is not who we are. How this community of nearly 300,000 people reacted to it —that's who we are.
We must remain positive. We must continue to do great things and help our neighbors.
Yes, we will have some crime, as will any community with a population this size. Yes, we will have some homelessness, and yes, we will have those among us who face mental health issues.
But again, that is not who we are.
None of this means we forget the victims or the tragic events of last week. We will never forget. We will learn lessons from this tragedy and get even better. We must continue to work as a community and build a safe, strong Santa Clarita.
The community support this past week has been remarkable, as the entire valley cared for our own, and united behind #SaugusStrong.
That's what we want to take away from this. A shooting doesn't define our community. Our community's spirit does.

Пренебрежимое старение — термин, который впервые ввел Калеб Финч в 1990 году. Ряд авторов использует термин «незначительное старение», но этот термин, как и термин «пренебрежимое старение», являются вариантами перевода введённого Финчем английского термина «negligible senescence».

Термин пренебрежимое старение обозначает темп старения, который трудно статистически отличить от нуля в масштабах данной выборки, а также «нестарение» — нулевую корреляцию между возрастом и вероятностью смерти. Другими словами, речь идет о случаях потенциального бессмертия для видов, особи которых демонстрируют огромную максимальную продолжительность жизни (МПЖ), ввиду чего невозможно визуально наблюдать признаки их старения.

Пренебрежимое старение как феномен традиционно является одним из сильнейших научных аргументов за концентрацию усилий человечества в борьбе за радикальное продление человеческой жизни и победу над человеческим старением.

В 2001 году К. Е. Финч и С. Н. Остед предложили минимальные критерии для отнесения конкретного вида к категории «пренебрежимое старение»: отсутствие увеличения темпа смертности и заболеваемости с возрастом после полового созревания, снижения темпа размножения и ряд физиологических показателей. Такие существа должны стареть так медленно, что зафиксировать какие-либо возрастные изменения было бы практически невозможно. После выявления многих видов животных, обладающих пренебрежимым старением, некоторые учёные на основании статистических данных (первые из которых появились ещё в 1939 году) пришли к выводу, что феномен пренебрежимого старения есть и у людей, доживших примерно до 90—100 лет, после достижения которых их шанс дожить до каждого следующего года не уменьшается с годами; кроме того, все дожившие до этих лет, имеют черты генетического сходства между собой. Следовательно, задача для современных разработчиков геропротекторов может быть сформулирована как «достижение наступления стадии пренебрежимого старения у человека в трудоспособном возрасте».

Список видов животных, демонстрирующих пренебрежимое старение

Список видов, для которых характерно пренебрежимое старение, представлен на сайте AnAge.

В этот список входят алеутский морской окунь (Sebastes aleutianus) — МПЖ 205 лет; черепаха расписная (Chrysemys picta) — МПЖ 61 год; пресноводная черепаха Блэндинга (Emydoidea blandingii) — МПЖ 77 лет; черепаха коробчатая каролинская (Terrapene carolina) — МПЖ 138 лет; морской ёж Красного моря (Strongylocentrotus franciscanus) — МПЖ 200 лет; двустворчатый моллюск исландская циприна (Arctica islandica) — МПЖ 400 лет.

Список базы данных AnAge неполный, его необходимо пополнить гидрой пресноводной (Hydra sp.), так как потенциальное бессмертие этого кишечнополостного организма доказано Даниэлем Мартинесом в 1998 году. Ещё в 1913 году были получены данные о способности избегать старения у асексуальной (вегетативной) формы планарий, которые (в отличие от сексуальных форм, живущих не более трёх лет) способны время от времени «омолаживаться» благодаря высокой концентрации в их организме стволовых клеток, называемых необластами. Для омоложения они должны периодически голодать (что приводит к 2—5-кратному уменьшению числа клеток и размеров организма), без этого продолжительность жизни индивидуальной особи не превышает 15 лет.
Также потенциально бессмертна медуза Turritopsis nutricula. Гидрозои — модульные организмы на стадии полипа, но медузоидная стадия унитарна. Большинство медуз после репродуктивного цикла умирает, но Turritopsis nutricula возвращается к ювенальной стадии — модулярного полипа, избегая смерти. Подобный цикл Turritopsis nutricula может повторять бесконечно, что делает её потенциально бессмертной.

Кроме того, ряд страниц базы данных AnAge посвящены видам губок, которые демонстрируют рекордное долголетие не только среди животных, но и среди всех живых существ. Например, рекорд долгожительства среди Metazoa демонстрирует особь антарктической губки Scolymastra joubini , возраст которой оценивают от 15 до 23 тыс. лет.

В литературе часто упоминаются щуки, осетры, белуга (Huso huso), коралловый окунь (Plectropomus pessuliferus), индоокеанский малоглазый групер (каменный окунь) (Epinephelus lanceolatus), североатлантический омар (Homarus americanus) и т. д., как имеющие пренебрежимое старение. Возможно, видов с пренебрежимым старением намного больше, чем известно современной биологической науке.

Факт пренебрежимого старения среди пресноводных двустворчатых моллюсков установил российский исследователь В. В. Зюганов: пресноводная жемчужница (Margaritifera margaritifera), обитающая в Европе и Северной Америке, имеет самую длинную жизнь среди пресноводных беспозвоночных животных — 210—250 лет — и демонстрирует пренебрежимое старение.

Современные взгляды на природу и механизмы пренебрежимого старения
Факторы, перечисленные в списке, провоцируют старение, сокращая жизнь всем живым существам, кроме тех видов, для которых характерно пренебрежимое старение:
 мутации генов,
 оксиданты (активные формы кислорода),
 укорочение теломер,
 метилирование ДНК,
 гликозилирование белков и ДНК,
 нестабильность генома,
 гормональный дисбаланс,
 канцерогенез,
 вредное влияние стрессоров.
В оценке причин, почему организмы видов, для которых характерно пренебрежимое старение, нечувствительны к таким опасным угрозам, мнения современных исследователей расходятся.

В. В. Зюганов полагает, что, как правило, виды животных с пренебрежимым старением имеют непрерывный асимптотический рост и плодовитость их обычно не уменьшается, а наоборот, увеличивается с возрастом, поскольку положительно коррелирует с размерами тела. Обобщение полевых наблюдений приводит к заключению, что животные с пренебрежимым старением не умирают от случайных причин, как считает ряд геронтологов, а погибают в конечном счете от голода или, по сути, от геометрических последствий своего непрерывного роста — сверхкрупных размеров — «вырастания» из своей экологической ниши — утраты необходимого проворства в добывании пищи и — в финале — от дефицита питательных веществ. Как доказательство В. В. Зюганов приводит очень интересный пример с гигантским групером (Epinephelus lanceolatus) (доживают до 100—120 лет):

«Наблюдения в Индийском океане за пищевым поведением этих исполинов длиной 2,5 метра и весом до 400 кг показали, что гигант проигрывает конкуренцию с молодыми особями в охране индивидуальных участков. Если рядом самец помоложе и попроворнее, он показывает быструю атаку на старика. Старик поджимает хвост, уплывает. В итоге проигрыш из-за конкуренции. То есть старикам либо еды не хватает, либо накапливаются негативные эффекты от стрессов.

Старичку не хватает уже поворотливости, чтобы цапнуть молодого конкурента. У него слишком крупные размеры, чтобы пролезть в пещерку и отдохнуть. То есть он физически вырастает из своей экологической ниши. Но он не стареет. У него прекрасное зрение, видит малейшее шевеление усиков креветки из-под дальнего камня. Никакой старческой катаракты хрусталика. Он не болеет, просто неповоротливый и слишком крупный. Нестареющие животные умирают от того, что ресурсов и территории на всех не хватает».

А. В. Макрушин, один из соавторов гипотезы об эволюционном возникновении процессов старения и онкогенеза, полагает, что первичный механизм старения возник на «колониально-сидячем» этапе эволюции Metazoa. Модульный организм — донорно-акцепторная система, у которой процессы эмбриогенеза и старения происходят пожизненно и одновременно. У сидячих колониальных видов Metazoa разрушение важных органов — составная часть нормального онтогенеза и сопровождает итеропарное и семельпарное бесполое размножение. Старый модуль может отмереть, отдавая ресурсы новому. Питательные вещества от одного модуля передаются другим, что детерминирует локальное старение «ненужного» модуля из-за потребности колонии менять форму по причине изменения окружения. Этот процесс сопровождает инволюция паренхимных клеток и, в конечном итоге, гибель модуля. У модульных видов особью, обладающей уникальным генотипом, является возникшая из зиготы колония. Поэтому смерть модулей не ускоряет эволюцию, так как не ведет особь к гибели, а омолаживает её. Каждый модуль, прежде чем умереть из-за старости, образует несколько дочерних модулей. Макрушин делает вывод о потенциальной бессмертности особей (как первых на Земле Metazoa, так и многих ныне существующих модульных видов), обусловленной заменой старых модулей молодыми. В то же время Макрушин признает факты пренебрежимого старения у унитарных видов, отрицая при этом возможность случаев потенциального бессмертия.

В наши дни происходит интрига вокруг астроцитарной гипотезы старения млекопитающих. Согласно её постулатам, среди филогенетических ветвей позвоночных виды с пренебрежимым старением встречаются у рыб, хвостатых амфибий, черепах и, возможно, птиц. В то же время отрицается возможность существования видов с пренебрежимым старением среди млекопитающих. Впрочем, автор А. Г. Бойко не признает возможность существования видов с пренебрежимым старением и среди ряда беспозвоночных: Appendicularia, Nematoda, Rotifera и Insecta, ибо для них характерна элиминация стволовых клеток из тела взрослых особей по окончании эмбриогенеза. В 2008 году группа Рошель Баффенштейн сообщила о пренебрежимом старении млекопитающего голого землекопа (Heterocephalus glaber), но этот факт был поставлен под сомнение Калебом Финчем как не отвечающий критериям пренебрежимого старения. Не признал его и автор астроцитарной гипотезы старения млекопитающих. Из российских учёных за группу Рошель Баффенштейн «болеют» академик В. П. Скулачёв и доктор биологических наук Алексей Москалёв.

Во многих странах мира созданы центры по исследованию феномена пренебрежимого старения.

Benedict Cumberbatch is slated to star in the Wes Anderson film
January 9, 2022 January 9, 2022 Deepak Gupta	0 Comments
Benedict Cumberbatch (45), Dev Patel (31), Ben Kingsley (78) and Ralph Fiennes (59) have allegedly been cast for a new film by director Wes Anderson (52). This is reported by several US media such as "The Hollywood Reporter". "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More" is a film adaptation of the short story collection of the same name by Roald Dahl (1916-1990). The film is produced exclusively for Netflix. In autumn 2021, the streaming giant acquired the rights to the writer's works.
Filming is scheduled to start this month
Netflix has not yet commented on the casting rumors. According to media reports, Wes Anderson is said to have written and directed the script. Filming should start this month in Great Britain. It is not yet known what roles Patel, Kingsley and Fiennes will slip into. Cumberbatch is said to take on the leading role of Henry Sugar and also impersonate other characters.
Most recently, Cumberbatch could be admired in the Marvel hit "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and in the Netflix flick "The Power of the Dog". His blockbuster "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" is slated to hit cinemas in May. For Cumberbatch, Kingsley and Patel it would be the first project in the universe of director Wes Anderson. Fiennes played the leading role in Anderson's comedy "Grand Budapest Hotel" in 2014.

It's time to start putting together a list of the best resources I've written about and reviewed here on this blog, as well as other high quality sites, resources and tools to help you get started with your language learning.
Everything I've listed here is material that I can vouch for or use personally. You'll never find a recommendation on this site unless I'm 100% convinced it's a high quality language resource.
I'll be gradually adding to this list over time and linking to it periodically.
Full transparency: From time to time I use affiliate links for paid products on this site which means I get a small commission for referrals. It doesn't affect the price of anything but doing so has helped me continue to maintain and improve this site over the last 5 years as a helpful resource for language learners.
Interested in starting a language blog of your own? Click here for my advice on how to do it.
First up, here are my main go-to resources when I begin learning another language.
I frequently refer to them in many of the articles I write because I know they're fantastic and they've been crucial to my own learning.
If you don't go any further down this page then I strongly suggest you make use of these resources if nothing else.
italki: Not too long ago it was really difficult or impossible to practice foreign languages without traveling to the country where the language is spoken.
Thankfully, tools like italki have made it possible to connect with native speakers from all over the world to practice or to take personalized lessons over Skype (read my italki review).
The great news is, lessons over Skype through italki are incredibly cheap compared to most teachers in person (many are as low as $6-8 an hour depending on what language you're learning!). All the frustration of payments and scheduling is handled brilliantly by italki too which makes it very easy and stress free to arrange sessions.
SPECIAL OFFER FROM ITALKI: If you head over and sign up for your first language lesson now, italki will give you a second lesson free!
Rocket Languages: This is one of the most comprehensive online courses I've used with some of the highest quality natural dialogue material available.
Rocket's available in many languages (highly personalized to each one so definitely not a 'cookie cutter' approach) and it has a tonne of excellent audio content for all levels ranging from beginner to advanced.
Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Sign Language and Spanish.
Earworms Musical Brain Trainer: This is the most unique and effective phrasebook alternative I've ever seen and one I frequently recommend.
Based on solid research into memory and 'stuck song syndrome', Earworms MBT teaches you languages over the top of highly repetitive tunes that cause the phrases to 'get stuck' in your head. It's surprisingly effective and is so enjoyable that it doesn't feel like study at all.
Available in: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese (European and Brazilian), Spanish (European and Latin American), Russian and Turkish.
Innovative Language: This is a language course for loads of different languages available in the form of audio podcasts and downloadable lessons.
It's hit and miss depending on which language you're learning – some of them are okay, others are excellent. You'll find video lessons, a vocabulary database and dictionary, grammar explanations and various other features.
Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Russian, Spanish, French, German, Korean, Japanese, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), English, Dutch, Danish, Hebrew, Indonesian, Polish, Swedish, Bulgarian, Filipino, Hindi, Norwegian, Thai, Vietnamese, Czech, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Persian, Swahili, Turkish.
Glossika (Spaced Repetition Training): This is another very unique product that improves your fluency through a highly repetitive 'listen and repeat' approach.
It is, in my opinion, one of the the most useful tools I've seen for training listening comprehension. Definitely not a conventional course but you'll be amazed at how effective it is if you use it daily (I explained it in detail in my Glossika review where I also interviewed its founder).
It's available in many different languages too.
TalkInArabic.com: Our own multi-dialect audio and video resource for people learning to speak Arabic.
It's a one of a kind resource that's updated weekly and includes HD video content, lesson modules and tonnes of audio material (all with written transcripts to read along to).
Currently covers 8 varieties of Arabic: Egyptian, Levantine, Saudi, Iraqi, Sudanese, Tunisian, Algerian and Moroccan.
Language Learning Foundations: This is a comprehensive video course put together by my good friend Olly Richards that walks you through the language learning process step by step. If you want to learn a language and you're not sure where to start or how, this will help you immensely.
Fluent In 3 Months Premium: Benny Lewis, author of Fluent in 3 Months, shows you how to begin conversing in any foreign language. Very detailed and comprehensive course structure with a practical, speaking focus.
Memrise: This is an outstanding online vocabulary training tool. It's a competitive and rather addictive memory game that lets you select language 'courses' to study (or create one yourself). Many of the courses also include audio.
AnkiSRS: A highly versatile flashcard app.
Learning With Texts: A completely free (though quite a bit technical to install and set up) assisted reader. You insert texts and audio in the language you're learning, link it to an online translator like Google Translate and it will help you learn new words that you come across. See my guide to install it here.
LingQ: Like Learning With Texts but everything is already set up and there's tonnes of reading material already there for you to read (not free though).
ReadLang: Another assisted reader alternative. Also a paid product.
Forvo: I love Forvo. Basically if there's ever a word or expression that you've seen written but don't know how to pronounce, you can search for it here (or request it) and hear a native speaker pronounce it for you.
italki: The best site for connecting with native speakers and teachers around the world.
HelloTalk: A fantastic mobile app for iOS and Android similar to WhatsApp/Viber/KakaoTalk which allows you to connect and chat with native speakers.
FluentU: This is an excellent site for learning languages using subtitled video. Available in Chinese, Spanish, French, English, Italian, German and Japanese.
Yabla: This is another excellent site for using video where you can control the speed of playback and select words from the subtitles for definitions. Available in: Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, German and English.
RhinoSpike: An incredibly useful, free site for having native speakers read or pronounce text for you.
Earworms MBT: A research-based method for learning languages using 'catchy' music. Price is only a few dollars and it's much better and more effective alternative to any phrasebook.
Mondly: Mondly is a beautifully designed learning platform (also available as a mobile app) in 33 different languages.
It also teaches conversation in a Rosetta Stone-style way.
Duolingo: Duolingo is a fun, free and effective way to study grammar. It's now available in lots of different languages and there are more currently in development.
Evernote: This is an incredibly useful and versatile app for note-taking and archiving.
I use it to collect and organize my language learning resources and it's amazing for saving language content you find online for easy access across all your devices (see my how-to video here).
Trello: Trello's a very simple but powerful task and project organizer that you can use for just about anything.
My own productivity for both work and learning has increased exponentially since I started using Trello to keep track of everything I have to do.
The concept's simple: put all your to-do's in one column and drag them to other columns when they're being done, are done or need changes.

Last week, it was announced that Michael Apted, the former Granada director and creator of the Seven Up! series, sadly passed away.
Michael joined Granada Television in 1963 as a researcher and a year later, as a World In Action researcher.
He helped set up the first Seven Up! Initially the programme was meant as a one-off but seven years later he had the idea of following up on their lives. His final contribution was to the 63 Up! programme which was broadcast in 2019. Michael also worked on Coronation Street in its early days and directed many other Granada programmes.
He directed a number of major movies including Gorky Park, Coal Miner's Daughter, Nell and the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough.
You can find the Guardian's obituary here. You can also find an interview with Michael, recorded some 20 years ago, on the Granadaland website, under Coronation
Street.
Monday 7 December
Happy birthday Corrie, 60 years old and still going strong.
There are lots of interviews with those who have worked on Coronation Street on this website. Some were recorded for the 40 th anniversary with memories of those early programmes from the actors, writers, producers and production staff. Well worth a read.
Wednesday 2 December
An interview with Paul Greengrass has now been uploaded onto the site. In his interview Paul talks about his time working in the sports department at Granada under Paul Doherty and the making of the Louis Edwards World In Action programme.
Wednesday 25 November
Here's an article we came across from 2018 about the 'irreverent men of World In Action'. Well worth a read.
Many will not remember The Stables as a theatre company. It was opened in January 1969 on the old terminus of the Liverpool/Manchester railway line next to the Granada building. It functioned as a theatre for many years and then became a bar until the 1980s when the Old School took over.
This is an original brochure sent to us from Gordon McDougall, one of the founding members.
Gordon has also agreed to write us a brief history of the theatre, which will appear in due course.
We were very sorry to hear of the death of Gordon MacGregor on Monday 6 July 2020 after a two-year battle with cancer.
He was a well-liked and respected cameraman who spent much of his career at Granada TV.
His friend and colleague, Lawrence Jones, has written an account of his life in television.
We've just posted excerpts from our interview with Tim Sullivan. Tim joined Granada as a researcher in 1981 with Judy Finnigan as his 'mother' and went on to become a director, mainly working in drama. After leaving Granada in 1994 he wrote and directed the film 'Jack and Sarah' and has just published his first novel 'The Dentist'. He has some fascinating memories, particularly of Sidney Bernstein, and his good friend, Derek Granger – who we've also interviewed.
We've just done a fascinating and revealing interview with Jim Grant (aka the best-selling author Lee Child). Hopefully it will be up on the website sometime in June. Jim tells me that he is retiring for good from writing. He had already agreed to hand over the famous Jack Reacher character to his brother who is also a thriller writer but he has also decided that he will not write any more books. When I spoke to him the other day he was quietly settling into retirement in Laramie, Wyoming. Good luck to him.
Paul Greengrass has sent me a copy of an article he wrote for GQ magazine some years ago. You can access it here. It's well worth a read.
Kim Horton has been nominated for a BAFTA for his work as an editor on 63 UP. Congratulations Kim. You can hear our interview with Kim here.
Saturday 16 May
We were sad to learn of the death in April 2020 for former Granada employee Neil Parker. Neil was a Broadcast Engineer who became known as a 'Colourist' or colour grader, in the early nineties. He worked on a range of programmes at Granada including True Romance, Best Boys, Moll Flanders and The Street and later on some of the most significant UK dramas produced in the last decade.
Monday 11 May
We have just recorded an interview with Paul Greengrass which hopefully will be uploaded onto the website in a few weeks' time. In the interview Paul talks about working with Paul Doherty, his World In Action programme on Louis Edwards and Manchester United, and being air bombed by Israeli jets in Palestine.
Dorothy Byrne recently appeared on Desert Island Discs and talked at length about her days at Granada. You can hear her choice of records on the BBC website.
We are sad to report the death of John Hesketh after a long illness. John was a sound engineer working for much of his Granada career out of the Liverpool office. With his tweed jackets and pipe, John was a memorable character at Exchange Flags and the Albert Dock. Our condolences to his wife, Sandra Greenwood, who also worked at Granada for many years.
The recent death of Little Richard brought to mind the famous gig he did at Granada in November 1963. Produced by Johnnie Hamp the show featured a live audience dancing and standing around his piano and is generally regarded not only as ground breaking but one of the greatest TV rock and roll concerts ever screened. It was transmitted in January 1964 and can be viewed below.
We have been working hard over the last few weeks to upload the transcripts and audio of all of the interviews that we have conducted so far for Granadaland.
Interviews with Daphne Hughes, Sita Williams and Nick Steer have now been added to our pages. Our thanks to all three of them for agreeing to take part.
We have just recorded an interview with director Tim Sullivan. Hopefully this will be uploaded in the coming weeks and will be posted on the website – watch this space!
Congratulations to Derek Granger, producer of Brideshead Revisited and The Jewel in the Crown, on recently reaching his 99th birthday. You can read more about his fascinating life and career in the interviewees section of this website.
We were sad to learn of the death in February this year of producer Brian Armstrong, aged 86. Brian joined the company in 1958 and was with Granada for over 30 years, working as a producer on Coronation Street, World In Action, What the Papers Say, The Cuckoo Waltz and the 1988 drama Game, Set and Match. He was probably the only person to work as a senior producer in factuals, locals, comedy and drama departments. Our condolences to his wife Christine and family. An obituary of Brian appeared in The Guardian.
We are also sad to report the death of cameraman Mike Popley. Mike worked as a cameraman on a wide range of Granada programmes from locals to World In Action. Always a popular character Mike would take huge risks in order to get the best shots, usually while the director wasn't looking ! He will be much missed, particularly by Judy his wife, who also worked at Granada for many years.
Barry Hairsine also sadly died on 20th April in Salford Royal Hospital of Covid-19. He had been in hospital for two weeks after returning from Cyprus on a 'rescue' flight. Barry was a cameraman with BBC Manchester and later moved to Granada where he became a Lighting Director and lit Coronation Street. Our condolences to his wife Dianne.

THE POST is a unique urban coastal campus, created around an irreplaceable San Diego landmark, the former Midway United States Post Office. The concept for THE POST is inspired by the original design strength and simplicity of an envelope.
a communication carrier allowing people to connect.
Much like the moment of excitement when opening a card or a package, THE POST evokes an emotional response, an anticipation of what's inside and then an awe at the scale of what you have found within.
THE POST provides people with space to inspire, communicate, and connect. Its design unfolds to create moments of discovery throughout; bold concrete forms are softened with natural interventions, and rich color accents.
THE RESULT IS A MODERN AND TIMELESS ICON.
Ryan Airlines begins the first regularly scheduled passenger service connecting San Diego and Los Angeles from Dutch Flats on this site.
Charles Lindbergh tests The Spirit of St. Louis at Dutch Flats air field.
The Dutch Flats air field, later known as Speer Airport. The Spirit of St. Louis was tested on this site by Lindbergh in 1927.
Midway Post Office built and operated for 42 years. The post office headquarters was a 436,000 SF mail processing facility for all of the city of San Diego.
Hammer Ventures purchases site to redevelop as a mixed-use urban coastal campus called THE POST.
Exposed Cast In Place Concrete Waffle Slab Ceiling Construction. New highly efficient, double-paned, anti-sound transmission glazing system.
Liberty Station Has it all!
Add balance to the busy work lifestyle with an impressive collection of amenities. restaurants, shops, art, entertainment, events and services right at your fingertips.
The Post is a folding and unfolding of new landscape within the existing building structure. The strong angular forms created by pathways, planting, and seating on the ground plane contrast the 1960's brutalist architecture of the building. This softening with landscape is a key to the unique experience of The Post.
The Linear Park is the connection between structure and landscape and is the heart of the project. The park is series of angular pathways merged with wood decks, planting, and social spaces creating an open, outdoor environment for recreation, relaxation and collaboration.
This iconic structure requires careful additions of clean glass lines, art installations, water and color elements, landscaping, and warm wood accents. Central to the design is the exploration of light and its qualities on a grand scale that is in balance with the scale of the building envelope. New architectural elements evoke an anticipation of what's inside THE POST.
The exterior café design is an extension of the interior. Providing varied types of seating, from booths, to banquette seating, to lounge furniture, small tables and even a large community table, allowing patrons to find a space that feels comfortable and creates a more relaxed ambience. The space is comfortable for lunch, with a more casual setting near the patio, as well as dinner with the lounge seating, booths, and bar. Canopy trees on the exterior bring down the scale of the space and provide shade. The glass wall is made up of large folding doors that connect the interior space to the patio and allow for the bar to serve drinks to patrons inside and out.
A 50 foot high lobby featuring a sculptural gloss white stair and bridge. Light cascades down from above through skylights. A reflective reception desk and elevator tower play with light and perception, thus adding to the sense of discovery upon entering THE POST.
The Entry Promenade is located on the southern edge of THE POST's existing structure. This tree lined pedestrian plaza creates a buffer between parking, residential, and office space. This plaza has shade and space where people can mingle and cross paths on their way to and from the office, home, or a coffee break. Main entries are flanked by steel planters to both accent and anchor the space. The landscape forms of this promenade fold up onto the building and become a faceted metal shade screen, creating a new expression on the existing structure.
The lobby presents itself with a 24 foot tall structural glass wall framed in a dark bronze portal, immediately sparking curiosity. The faceted exterior screen wall dramatically soars over the entry doors, unwrapping to reveal the space within. Inside, visitors are rewarded with an unexpected palette of light, color, wood, plant life, and reflections.
Moving through the Lobby and stepping outside into the Sky Atrium brings one into an entirely authentic space made possible by the grandeur of the existing building structure. Strategic removal of roof and floor structure reveals an outdoor oasis within THE POST, featuring vertical gardens, a reflecting pool, and ample seating for individual retreats and group gatherings. This large opening in the building footprint also brings ample natural light to the interior tenant spaces that surround the atrium on both levels. A second-floor perimeter deck and connecting bridge allow for ease of circulation and additional exterior lounge and workspace.
Clean and contrasting by design, the second-floor office space has potential for a diversity of work spaces. Desktop work stations meet spacious lounge environments that feature open access to roof top amenity decks. Private offices and collaboration spaces are highlighted with colored glazing. Open office areas are day-lit with skylights scattered across the concrete structure overhead. The second-floor at THE POST has 18'-0" clear ceilings promoting a sense of openness and clarity. THE POST offers opportunities for sleek interior finishes that underscore the natural beauty of the raw concrete structure.
Tenant spaces within THE POST are flexible, collaborative, and highly conducive to not just work but a work lifestyle. Soaring ceiling heights of up to 25 feet, exposed concrete walls, massive open floor plates, waffle grid slab ceiling structures, skylights, second story outdoor terraces, and floor to ceiling glass, all combine in an incredibly unique environment with views to the Bay and Downtown Skyline, unlike anything else in San Diego. The potential for customized tenant use is only limited by the imagination. The experience of working at THE POST is simply one of a kind.
The potential for customized tenant use is only limited by the imagination. The experience of working at THE POST is simply one of a kind.

"Racism Simulator" Chrome Browser Extension
Les_Deplorables February 22, 2017, 10:04pm #1
A Chrome browser extension titled "Racism Simulator" shows just how racist the left-wing media really is by changing negative references about white people to black people.
"Ever see articles bashing certain groups and thought to yourself how totally not okay it would be if the groups were replaced with another group?" the extension's download page asks. "This extension swaps the groups being written about on HuffingtonPost, Salon, Buzzfeed, Jezebel, and Gawker to show how much racism, sexism, and outright nastiness they get away with because they chose to target an 'oppressor' group."
Breitbart Tech tested out the extension on Wednesday. Here are some of the results we received.

The OPs post, not being able to say the n word in peace, being called mean names like white boy (aka Black privilege), ... and other important stuff that is too traumatizing for me to even type. Gosh, when will the persecution of whites end? Hopefully one day, whites will be allowed to sit in the front of the bus. Sad!

What I don't get is the debt that all white people have to the worLd. White people are born as innocent as any other race but get to face guilt for slaves they never held hate crimes not committed .
what do minorities want ? A white kid is born and has to be oppressed to be fair ? Fuck that .
Explain white priviledge to the trashy white Americans that live below poverty line generation after generation same as black trash .

It's actually simple. These articles are satire. They're poorly written satire but it's satire.
When writers poke fun at society, they will typically choose to attack something that's high status. In example: it's more compelling to disassemble the flaws of a corporate executive, who is someone with power and wealth, than to do the same to a homeless person with hardly anything at all.
In this case, white people have a disproportionate influence over minorities in the areas of finance, media, executive positions, etc... White people by in large are generally a very fortunate lot of folks.
So when it comes to satirizing race, white people are going to be the number one target. If you make fun of a race with less success in society then a general audience will see it as tactless.
Race is a sticky topic either way. I think the modern satire of race has gone a bit overboard. It's verging on hacky at this point. There's still truth in some writers words, but it's tiring locating the good columnists in the sea of bad ones. Advice: avoid buzzfeed at all costs.
There's too many people talking about the same stuff online. Back when Pryor or Chris Rock or Dave Chapelle would spend years developing finely tuned truths about these issues, society would listen and grow. Nowadays, we hear the same things over and over. We exist in an online sphere that is oversaturated and redundant, and these issues tend to come across as belly aching and unoriginal thinking.
But it's important to remember that there is some truth to these thoughts. We white people are very fortunate, and it takes nothing away from us to recognize that.
Mark Antony's hangover -
Yeah. Really ashamed of the racism against whites. My God, its just so upsetting. I thought Jim Crow laws and not having basic human rights was bad, but this is so much worse. What if my kids see this? So oppressed. So sad. So very sad!
It is just a massive and unjustified over correction. It is OK to recognize this without comparing it to Jim Crow laws. Currently, there is a lot of reverse racism that is happening, under the umbrella of "equality" and "sins of the past"
Unfair is unfair, and there are degrees to this.

Sooo collective punishment and sanctioned racism against certain genetic groups justified by them being in positions of power? Did you just get done reading Mein Kampf?
TheDorkKnight February 23, 2017, 12:31pm #19
There's an entire generation of people, white and black, who didn't experience any of that shit, but you somehow think it's still a relevant arguement to make. At what point do you let that go and accept that times have changed? Will you also hold me responsible for slave owners 150 years ago?

They're just asking, do 2 wrongs make a right? The answer is no.


The growing impact of the "analytics" perspective in recent years, which integrates advanced data-mining and learning methods, is often associated with increasing access to large databases and with decision support systems. Since its origin, the field of analytics has been strongly business-oriented, with a typical focus on data-driven decision processes. In public decisions, however, issues such as individual and social values, culture and public engagement are more important and, to a large extent, characterise the policy cycle of design, testing, implementation, evaluation and review of public policies. Therefore public policy making seems to be a much more socially complex process than has hitherto been considered by most analytics methods and applications. In this paper, we thus suggest a framework for the use of analytics in supporting the policy cycle—and conceptualise it as "Policy Analytics".


When are you guys going to set a space for the new Arkansas sport. Video games on the high school level competition. Not a gamer so not sure why this is needed.
This is going to be a pretty big deal from what I understand. Over 80 schools have signed up for the first season which runs from the end of February through April. There will be three different games that the kids can play and each will have their own State Championship. Based on the interest at my school, it could be a very big thing. I am not a gamer either, but this is giving a group of kids not really represented by traditional sports a chance to represent their school.
My currently almost 2-year-old son going to be all-state in Madden!
Lol. I wish they were offering Madden. Ha!
No joke: In 5 years the U of A will be offering scholarships on gaming. Probably sooner.
Assistant coaches will be the best college gamers from the U of A dorms. Several will have minor league professional experience.
Summer travel teams forming now! Limited slots available. 5U and up.
If you want your player to be ready for high school varsity competition and to be seen by college coaches, you MUST sign up today! Statewide individual rankings in our new online publication, PGR (Prep Gaming Report), will get your player noticed and will lead to a college scholarship!
If they put the games up on the jumbotron and play on the football field, does that count?
Is it impossible to do both?
Exactly.... The 8th grader I'm raising runs between 25-30 miles a week for XC/track..... Also plays a fair share of video games. He knows in two years when he is 16 he'll have to have a summer job and work some possibly part time even during the school year meaning the video games won't really be able to be played nearly as much then.... my god though let kids be kids while they have the chance. We demand too much of kids anyways these days and you only get one childhood. They have the rest of their lives to work their life away, let them have some fun and multiple hobbies if they want while they can.
I retract all the sarcasm from my previous post. I'm going to open an academy!! This is a slam dunk! I'll be retired, living on my own island in three years!

The Laguna Tools 43″ 2RK (Roller + Combo head) wide belt sander is a perfect fit for woodworking shops of all sizes.
The belt length is 75″ which is the same length as several larger machines. The longer belt means it will not only last longer due to more abrasive material it will also run cooler.
This machine is equipped with 1 ( 8") roller and a second (4") roller followed by a wide platen for fine finish. This allows you to use a rougher grit on first roller (8") that will absorb most of the impact and do the dimensioning while the second roller (4") with the Platen can have a finer grit. This will save time over having to run your production through the machine 2 times & change belt grit. Due to the large HP motor (25 HP) the machine is capable of dimensioning even wide boards. This is important for customers who do not own a thickness planer. When you use the machine to dimension your work only very aggressive paper 60 or 80 grit should be used. The heavy carpet feed belt is powered by a separate 2HP motor and the feed speed is adjustable from 12 to 60 fpm.
Manual hand-wheel on the bottom of the machine.
By pressing the up or down arrow the table will move in desired direction.
Input a set dimension on the key pad and machine will go to that dimension.
The auto thickness gauge will measure your wood piece and automatically set the table to the thickness of the piece of wood inserted.
Voltage: 220, 3 Phase, 60 Hz.


This past weekend my Fiance, Ricardo and I made a three and half hour drive to Bloomington to attend our friend's wedding. Ricardo looked so handsome in his groomsman tuxedo. Congratulations to the newlyweds Samantha and Danny Ader.
They had some of the most beautiful vows, and watching the Groom cry always brings tears to my eyes. We had one of the most amazing weekends. It was full of unforgettable moments, laugher, inside jokes, partying, and dancing. It made me more excited to plan our wedding.
Good to know about this information on wedding vows. I am planning to arrange my friend's wedding and already searched online for exemplary San Francisco wedding venues. Got to know about few venues and looking forward to book best one in time.
There are many advantages to hiring farm table rentals in san diego and just one of the biggest advantages is that you don't have to spend precious time planning a professional party that you are not sure will actually be any good.

Q: Must i include authentication_classes attribute in my django class view According to the Django Rest Framework, when you want to specify what authentication to use, you can either set it as a global in your settings file e.g
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
        'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
    )
}

or as a per class view
e.g
@authentication_classes((SessionAuthentication, TokenAuthentication))

Now what i don't seem to get is that when we specify it as a global in our settings, must we also include it as a per class view.
Here is the code for my class view
from django.http import HttpResponse
from rest_framework.decorators import api_view, authentication_classes, permission_classes
from rest_framework.authentication import TokenAuthentication, SessionAuthentication
from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated
from rest_framework.response import Response
# Create your views here.

@api_view(['GET'])
@authentication_classes((SessionAuthentication, TokenAuthentication))
@permission_classes((IsAuthenticated,))
def index_view(request, format=None):
    return Response([str(request.auth), str(request.user.password), str(request.session.username)])

And here is the code in my settings.py file
Rest Framework
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
        'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
    ),
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated'
    )
}

Please i hope i am specific enough

"That man was an absolute gent."
So says my wife, Karen, after an early evening drink in Mousehole with Chris Tyler, one of the key figures in the history of British surfing. For those not in the know, Chris set up the Skewjack Surf Village near Sennen Cove in 1971. Skewjack remains Britain's one and only surf village, a place revered by the surfing cognoscenti and still talked about in rapturous fashion by those who were there. What, though, has become of its founder?
Karen and I met him last week in The Ship Inn in Mousehole. With him was his son, Essex, a fine surfer, ex-Penzance fisherman and owner of the Tyler Gallery. Chris was in the UK for one more night - the next day would see his return to Eastern Europe, the place he's made home in recent years. I'd hoped to talk to him during the research for Surf Nation but had been told that I had more chance of an audience with the Queen, with Chris rumoured to be living in Poland.
"No, not Poland," he told me, "my home is in Bulgaria. It's like Cornwall when I first came down here. I felt, then, that I'd found heaven. That's what I feel now, in Bulgaria."
Chris lives, with his partner and horses, in foothills in Bulgaria miles from anywhere. He's keen on the isolation and sense of peace: "I have everything I want," he says simply. But he admits that his choice of abode is in keeping with his life. "I've always been an adventurer, and this is the latest part of the adventure."
Chris Tyler was an architect before he founded Skewjack in 1971. He went on to preside over an institution which was formative in the lives of many British surfers, not least his sons, Essex and Cassius, who grew up at Skewjack. The intention behind Skewjack's creation explains its remarkable success. "It was born of an idealistic vision," explains Chris. "I wanted to create a place where people could come and learn to surf. We had an old ambulance called Amy to take people and boards down to Sennen Cove and Gwenver. We advertised in custom car magazines, Oz, Time Out, and had an incredible response. The Times even sent a journalist down."
That journalist was Penny Radford, whose resultant piece, headlined 'Skewjack, Cornwall: Surf City of UK', was published on 9 August 1971. Chris believes she may have fallen in love with a Cornish surfer - certainly, that she caught the bug and understood what Skewjack was all about. "Fun, surfing and having a good time," is what Chris says typified Skewjack's early years, though a lot of work was involved too: "It was like the Forth Bridge," says Chris, "by the time the summer was over and thousands of people had been through, the place was a wreck."
All kinds of people stayed at Skewjack, from bikers - "lovely blokes", says Chris - to Jimmy Pursey and other members of Sham 69. Perhaps one advertising campaign - 'two girls for every boy' - helped swell visitor numbers, but more than anything it seems that Chris's sheer love of life, and surfing, was what made Skewjack so popular. Unfortunately, though, it became a victim of its own success.
"The BBC came and filmed an episode of Holiday '76, which was great, but suddenly, after six or seven great years, we started to attract the wrong crowd. In 1977, all hell broke loose. We weren't trying to compete with the 18-30-type holidays but people wanting that kind of experience started turning up. I carried on but it was with a heavy heart."
By 1984, Chris had decided that enough was enough. Around the same time he also split up from his partner and, as he puts it with candour, "everything went t*** up. We lost everything." Essex Tyler nods as his father narrates what happened next - a move to Penzance and a new career as fishermen. "I left Chris South in charge of Skewjack and bought a fishing boat. The next chapter of our lives began then." Chris admits, though, that he was devastated. "Skewjack was very much a part of me. I was very sad to let it go."
Fast forward nearly 25 years, and father and son are in good health, radiant after a day's sailing out of Mousehole. Life may have been tough when they had to reinvent themselves, but Chris and Essex clearly have an excellent relationship, and both hold themselves with dignity and composure. What, I wonder, is Chris's fondest memory of Skewjack?
"I was asked if I'd take some students from MENCAP. I agreed and we had a ratio of three students to one instructor. We filled all the chalets and I was told, at the outset, that I had to treat them just like I'd treat anyone staying on a surf holiday. So that's what I did. That week, watching them get in the sea and love every minute of their surfing, was the highlight of Skewjack for me."
It's nearly time to say our farewells, but Chris has another memory. "The other day I was walking down Causeway Head in Penzance when a man stopped me. He asked if I remembered him. I didn't, but then he told me he'd come to Skewjack and gone on some cliff walks with us. He said 'You know what, I've been walking ever since.' That's a bit like my life, too. It's like surfing. You're always in search of the perfect wave."
He talks again of his home in Bulgaria, and warmly clasps Karen's arm as we leave. As she said, an absolute gent, and one lucky enough to find contentment on his endless search.
You can read more about Skewjack in the excellent Drift magazine. Check out this link to get hold of a copy of Issue 4.
Cass says what about him?? A bloody fine surfer and the other son!!
please get in touch and tell me all about it, I,d love to hear about it, and if anyone knows the whereabouts of giro joe,please let me know.
I went for a few years from 78 through to 84 I think being the last time. Thereafter we broke away and used to stay at Gwenva camping in Les Nicholas's paddocks at Peace and Plenty. In 86 and 87 I stayed at Gwenva all summer from May through to Nov and we used to go over to Skewjack in the evenings and drink and party there and as Chris and the others have said it had lost it's way a bit and didn't have an identity that worked. In the early days it still had some of that magic 78 and 79. People who were there may have recognised me or knew of me as Dave 'The Mod' (From Tilbury, in Essex). As others have said, it was definitely a life changing experience. Surfing for some reason if you engage with it gives you a different life perspective as did all the people who I met down there. Definitely an iconic and important part of British surfing and if you didn't experience it, you did really miss out! I was only a visitor, but the people that were involved in it must have had a wail of a time!

Leadership Transitions in the School of Medicine
August 13, 2020 | By UCSF School of Medicine
As Dean Talmadge E. King, Jr., MD, announced in a message to the School of Medicine, Mitchel Berger, MD, has announced he is stepping down as Chair of the Department of Neurological Science at UCSF, after nearly 24 years. Edward Chang, MD, will serve as the new chair, effective September 1, 2020.
Mitchel Berger, MD
Professor, Department of Neurological Surgery
Director, Neuro-Oncology Surgery Program
Dr. Mitchel Berger is a nationally recognized expert in treating brain and spinal cord tumors as well as tumor-related epilepsy in adults and children. He also is a specialist in brain mapping techniques – used to identify and preserve areas of motor, sensory and language function during surgery – and an expert in using the Gamma Knife, a precise, noninvasive tool that applies radiation beams for tumor treatment. He is co-director of the Adult Brain Tumor Surgery Program, director of the Brain Tumor Research Center and director of the Center for Neurological Injury and Repair.
Dr. Berger earned his bachelor's degree from Harvard College in 1975 and his medical degree from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in 1979. He completed an internship and a residency at UCSF, and was awarded a clinical fellowship in neuro-oncology by the American Cancer Society and a research fellowship by the Brain Tumor Research Center. He completed further fellowship training in neuro-oncology at UCSF and in pediatric neurosurgery at the Hospital for Sick Children, an affiliate of the University of Toronto.
Dr. Berger was elected to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons' board of directors, appointed to the American Board of Neurological Surgery, the Cancer Moonshot Blue Ribbon Panel (NIH/NCI), Congress of Neurological Surgeons, and the Society for Neuro-Oncology. He has edited 7 books, has 665 peer-reviewed publications, and has given nearly 750 presentations locally, nationally, and internationally.
Under Dr. Berger's leadership, the Department of Neurological Surgery's major focus has been on team science; translational research, sub-specialized clinical practice, and promoting diversity and equity for faculty, residents, and staff. The Department has ranked number one in NIH funding for academic neurosurgery since 2000, in the top five in US News and World report for 11 consecutive years (number two for 2020), ranked by Doximity as the number one neurosurgery residency program (by reputation), and number one in research publication productivity (Dept overall; published 2014 JNS).
The Department boasts more than 25 research labs, each focused on a unique aspect of brain tumor risk, biology, diagnosis, and treatment. Areas include: cell signaling, developmental biology, drug delivery, genomics, immunotherapy, neuroepidemiology, neuroimaging, pediatric tumors.
The Department of Neurological Surgery Diversity Committee was formed by Dr. Berger in 2016. Since creating this committee, medical student "Lunchtime Talks with Neurosurgeons" have been developed and are well-attended. The Department also began a successful partnership with Oasis for Girls and LinkedIn to set up a summer internship specifically geared towards at-risk, UIM, young women residing in San Francisco. Dr. Berger is a mentor for WINS (Women in Neurological Surgery), and the Department has been able to attract more resident women candidates for externships, and thus has been able to increase the number of women residents to join the program.
Going forward, Dr. Berger will continue to be a full member of the Department of Neurological Surgery as an active surgeon and faculty member. He will continue to direct the Brain Tumor Center, serve as PI of the SPORE grant, and will get back to the laboratory with new and evolving projects including developing gene editing using CRISPR to treat brain tumors and advanced drug delivery nanoparticles for brain tumors.
