One of the BEST ways to kick-off the ski season with guaranteed snow and super fun apre ski at the famous "Umbrella Bar".
26 cable cars and ski lifts.
Non-skiers are welcome! Enjoy hiking/wandering, bus into Innsbruck or to the lift and join us for Apre Ski!
Departure time: TBA The bus ride is about 4.5 hours. The bus waits for no one.
Return: We'll leave Stubai NLT 1630 hrs. Precise time will be announced at the hotel. The TC has the authority to adjust the departure time but will notify skiers the night before departure. Estimated return to Stuttgart: 2100hrs.
Situated at the head of the Stubai Valley, the Stubai Glacier is the largest ski area in the Innsbruck area. It is also one of the most popular all-year ski destinations in Europe. Winter sees over 150 km of pistes aimed directly to the beginner-intermediate. But even though only a handful of runs at Stubai Glacier are rated expert, the terrain does offer excellent off-piste opportunities. Stubai is also highly rated by Snowboarders.
Getting a head start… skiing and boarding before winter truly awakes – Stubai is known for offering some of the best conditions during October and November. At the start of November, it is already possible to ski down to the Middle station Fernau at 2300m.
Sit back and watch the show – Stubai's freestyle park, with kickers sculpted to perfection, is a gathering place for the best freestyle skiers and boarders.
Gourmet at altitude – fine-dining at an altitude of nearly 3000m, the Schaufelspitz serves Austrian classics done to the highest standard using regional ingredients, a solid wine list, and an expansive sun terrace.
The days are getting short, but at this time of the year it is still possibly to feel the warmth of the sun's rays.
There aren't many views that can beat the one from the very top of the Stubai Glacier.
When it comes to reliable snow cover…Stubai Glacier skiing is as guaranteed as it gets.
Stubai Aprés Ski – Après ski in Stubai begins at the gondola base in the Wilde Grub'n and Schirmbar Mutterberg (the umbrella bar) further down past the bus stop, and usually ends at the bars and clubs in the center of Neustift or Fulpmes.
Stubaital Nightlife – The Rumpl Disco in the center of Neustift is the main club. The après-ski bus runs from 7:00 p.m. and 2 a.m. between Kampl and Mutterberg, so no worry of being Cinderall'ed in your ski boots at midnight.
Fulpmes has a table dancing bar, the Kratzbaum, which looks all very stylish in its quaint old building right in the entrance to the village. Although this shouldn't be surprising in Austria any more, since such establishments are becoming pretty commonplace, it's not quite what you might expect in a small traditional village like Fulpmes.
Geocaching – Geocaching is the new outdoor trend that combines an exciting treasure hunt with awesome outdoor experiences. The participants of this game are called geocachers. They hide little treasures in chests, plastic containers, bottles etc. all over the world. Some of these treasures, also referred to as caches, are also hidden on the Stubai Glacier.
Hotel Berghof is located in Neustift in the Stubai Valley, directly opposite the lift into the Elfer skiing and hiking area AND only a 3-minute walk away from the village centre of Neustift . It offers free Wi-Fi and an indoor pool.
The Berghof's restaurant serves international cuisine and traditional Austrian and Tyrolean dishes. The half-board arrangement features a buffet breakfast, and a 4-course dinner with a vegetarian option.
The spa area includes herbal-bio-sauna, aroma-steam-bath, Finnish sauna, ice fountain, Kneipp application. Massage and beauty treatments are provided.
At the Berghof, bathrobes, bicycles and toboggans are available for guests' use free of charge.
* Children under 10 accompanied by a paying parent use the transportation and cable car facilities for free!
In the BIG Family kindergarten at the Gamsgarten top station all children from 3 years old are welcome. While parents are enjoying great ski runs, time flies for children when playing, crafting, singing and telling stories.
In the winter season, the kindergarten is open daily from 8:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Lunch and meals with fruit and drinks are included.

"I really wanted to release my second single with my album. I'm just not satisfied yet to drop my album," she said. "A lot of people just keep telling me to drop it, but it's not quite there yet. I was going to release it in October, but I think I'm going do it in November."

Yesterday, a pair of writers from back East asked for recommendations on Pacific Standard Time shows. I urged them to take the trip to San Diego (and La Jolla) for Phenomenal: California Light, Space, Surface at MCASD. Robin Clark's show simply should not be missed. I singled out the shows that I've seen at LACMA: first, Five Card Stud, Ed Kienholz's stunning and unforgettable installation about race and violence in America. Also (for entirely different reasons) Asco, the well-documented look at the Latino collective performance group, and California Design: Living in a Modern Way, LACMA's delightful and rich presentation of design.
However, I forgot to send these visitors to a show that is a sleeper hit or hidden gem: Artistic Evolution: Southern California Artists at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, 1945—1963. Perfectly chosen and presented by Charlotte Eyerman, this exhibit is the most faithful to the stated purpose of the Getty's project: original scholarly research leading to an exhibition about Los Angeles art from the period of 1945 to 1980. Ms. Eyerman deserves a huge round of applause for a tightly curated and thoroughly researched show, presented in the rotunda of the Natural History Museum—quite similar in location to the old LA County Museum's annual exhibits.
I was reminded of Eyerman's contribution to the PST cause today. I read a review by Christopher Knight, and he has superb way of looking at the Artistic Evolution show. After reading Knight's review, scroll down and read his post about Larry Bell, Frank Gehry and architecture. It's a brilliant linking of those three elements, and Knight rightfully cites the long-term friendship of Bell and Gehry, who have often worked together on projects.
A lot of work goes into the preparation of an exhibit, as I noted in a post just a month ago. For the gallery staff and myself, it's a long process that includes researching the artist, selecting the work, assembling the preliminary checklist, writing the essay, planning the layout of the show, and dozens of other tasks. I wrote about the resources of the gallery, including the wondrous photographer Anthony Cunha, as well as our superb graphic designer Joe Molloy. It's a group effort, and the team that we assembled over the last 16 years works almost seamlessly.
The rewards of the process are numerous. Certainly, the enterprise of a commercial gallery is dependent on patrons and collectors.
And, of course we love to get all the reviews, articles and viewers that we can possibly attract. But we're really looking to set the record straight, and to present and document an exhibit for a future generation—for the new kids on the block who may not have any idea who Craig Kauffman is! Or, for pretty much anyone who was not around in the period of 1958 to 1964, when the works in Sensual/Mechanical were first made and shown. That means just about 95% of the audience. Few living people got to see these old Kauffmans the first time around.
Like any exhibit, another big reward is the reaction of kids. Any kids—from Craig's oldest daughter (shown above with her friend) to little children in the arms of their parents. Young kids and young artists love this work—it's fresh, colorful and pretty damn straightforward. The playful parts of Kauffman's work have a simple, easy to understand graphic and comical take on…well, the playful parts of the body. My favorite comment from a kid was this week, who thought the work "looked like behinds." That is so true. Perfect comment, and unadulterated!
Boundless blue sky and poetic prose from the critics are arriving daily. Peter Frank has glowing words about Sensual/Mechanical, our current show of early work by Craig Kauffman. Today's Huffington Post includes Peter Frank's haiku review (well, it's a bit longer than traditional haiku consisting of 17 on, but that's what they call it on Huffpo). Hunter Drohojowska-Philp covers a number of the Pacific Standard Time shows in her Artnet post, singling out the excellent installation of Kauffman's 1969 Loop in the main show, Crosscurrents, at the Getty Museum. For sheer visual delight, it's fun to take a look at the slide show on the MCASD' website of Phenomenal: California Light, Space, Surface.
But for the most extensive review of that great San Diego exhibition, don't miss Christopher Knight's excellent and praising prose in the Los Angeles Times. Curator Robin Clark has totally earned everyone's respect for the show that she organized with Hugh Davies. It's a show for everyone, from kids who will delight in the James Turrell installations, to adults who will discover the Bruce Nauman corridor. When you go, be sure to shimmy through the skinny green Nauman and emerge into the open light-filled Irwin room. It's an amazing combination, and…well, it's phenomenal.
Another myth about Los Angeles is that there's nothing but sunshine. Today we had a good stong rainstorm, followed by some great cloud formations. It's days like this that make me want to stay home and read a book…or two. There are so many books being published about the Pacific Standard Time exhibitions—I'm told that there are over 20 highly researched publications coming out. I've been lucky enough to read MCASD's "Phenomenal" book, and I highly recommend it. This book gives more information about Light and Space than any previous publication. I'm also well into the 4th chapter of the Getty Research Institute's history, and it, too, is a must read.
Another way to catch up on the publications—for free!—is to take the tram to the Getty's reading room, conveniently located next to the gorgeous installation of DeWain Valentine's "Grey Wall", a project of the friendly Getty Conservation Institute's Tom Learner, Emma Richardson, Rachel Rivenc—and the whole team. The Grey Wall, too, has a wonderful book. Here's a little picture of the welcoming reading room, with the growing library of recent publications.


Lots of people want to lose weight. In fact, in Australia nearly half of all adults tried to lose weight in 2016 (and it's reasonable to assume that this holds true for most modern years). Considering that over 60% of us are overweight or obese, most of them probably failed.
Everyone knows that the keys to losing weight are diet and exercise. A lot of people try to only use one of these methods, but for best results they need to be used together – besides, proper nutrition and regular exercise both have many health benefits beyond your waistline.
Getting into the habit of exercising regularly can be extremely hard, which is why so many people fail after only a few weeks. If you are aware of this and take steps to get into good habits, you should be able to keep yourself going to the gym. You also, of course, need to do the right kinds of exercise.
Dieting is also extremely difficult, but for different reasons. The fact is that when people thing of dieting, delicious recipes are not the first things that come to mind. Instead, we resign ourselves to eating rabbit food and try to mentally prepare for months of starvation – which is a recipe for disaster.
However, it doesn't have to be this way. If you have a solid understanding of the kind of nutritional intake that will keep you satisfied while still leaving you with a kilojoule deficit, you will be well on your way to your target body shape, and will be able to try out some fantastic recipes.
Home cooking is the key to making sure you know what you are putting into your body. Yes, restaurant and takeaway food is delicious – but it's delicious because the recipe uses lots of fats, salts and carbs. When you cook for yourself you can moderate your intake better, and still experiment with different flavours.
You need to make sure that your meals are high in protein and fibre if you want to be satisfied and still lose weight. Protein is essential for muscle growth, which will help you burn more energy even when you sit still. A recipe featuring a lot of fibre will keep your stomach full for longer, as this nutrient is hard for your body to break down.
Now that you know the basics, here are a few delicious recipes that meet these requirements. If you need more, there are plenty of delicious recipes at HelloFresh.
As long as you watch what you cook it with, a roast chicken is one of the healthiest recipes you can prepare. Chicken is a lean meat, meaning it contains lots of protein compared to fat, and with the right vegetables with it you can get a lot of fibre for very few carbs.
You will need: a 1.6.kg whole chicken; 1 lemon (sliced); seasoning (salt and pepper at least, but you can use other spices if you like); 2 teaspoons of olive oil; 3 quartered onions (can be brown, red or a mixture); a handful of button mushrooms; 1 sliced zucchini; 1 halved garlic; 1 sliced pumpkin (seeds removed); 2 sliced carrots; 2 sprigs of rosemary; an oven; a roasting pan; and a wire roasting rack.
Recipe: Preheat your oven to 220C and grease the roasting pan. Put the vegetables into the pan with the rosemary and mix them around. Place the wire rack over the top. Trim excess fat from the chicken, then rinse it thoroughly in cold water and pat it dry.
Season the chicken cavity, then squeeze the lemon over the chicken and rub in the juice. Put the lemon slices inside the cavity and tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Brush the olive oil over the chicken and season the outside. Place the chicken breast side up on the wire rack.
Roast the chicken and vegetables for an hour, or until the juice is clear when you skewer the chicken thigh. This recipe should easily feed a family with lots of leftovers, so you can use it as a part of your meal prep for the rest of the week.
After you've taken all of the meat you want from the chicken, you can use it to make more healthy meals! Chicken soup is another low carb option, and you can fill it with vegetables for extra flavour and nutrition. If you make the stock yourself you will know exactly what is in this recipe!
Stock recipe: you will need the chicken carcass; a quartered brown onion; four crushed garlic cloves (three if the cloves are big); your favourite chicken herbs and seasoning (if you forget a seasoning don't worry, you can always put it in when you turn the stock into soup); a stove; and a large pot.
You just put the chicken bones and offcuts along with the onion, garlic, herbs, and seasoning into a pot of water and leave it to boil. That's literally the recipe.
The water will boil down and the flavours will intensify, but that's ok – you will be diluting it again in soup anyway. The longer you can leave the stock boiling the better, as long as you can refresh the water, but you should allow at least four hours. Once the water is boiled down enough, drain the stock into a safe container and freeze it. Throw out the chicken, onion and garlic.
Soup recipe: you will need your chicken stock (if you didn't have time to make it buy a litre); 1 finely chopped onion; 1 thinly sliced leek (only the white bit); 1 crushed clove of garlic; 1 kg of diced pumpkin; ½ cup of thin cream; seasoning and spices of your choice; 1 teaspoon of olive oil; a stove; a large, deep sauce pan; and a blender. If you have some chicken meat left over that can go in too.
Defrost some of your stock and add water to make a litre of flavourful soup. Set it aside for later.
Heat the oil in the saucepan and add your leek and onion. Cook for around 3 minutes, until they have softened but not changed colour. Add the garlic and your chosen spices and stir for half a minute. Add the pumpkin and stock and bring to the boil. Turn the heat to low and cover the sauce pan. Allow the mixture to simmer for half an hour, then cool slightly. Blend the soup, in batches if you need to. Then return the blended soup to the pan, stir through the cream and heat. If you have any chicken meat left, add it as well and stir it through the mixture.
This recipe should also make plenty of meals, and you can freeze it if you want to. Chicken and pumpkin soup is the perfect work lunch on a cold day as well – and it is both filling and low in carbohydrates!

Q: Duplicate footnotes when tabulary is inside minipage I want to make table footnotes by nesting a tabular or tabulary inside a minipage, and that inside a table. When I do this with tabular, it works exactly as it should. But with tabulary, it produces two sets of footnotes at the bottom, and the footnote numbers in the main text are those of the duplicate footnotes.
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{tabulary,lipsum}

\begin{document}

Why are footnotes duplicated when a tabulary is placed inside a minipage?
It happens in memoir class and the standard \LaTeX classes.

See table~\ref{table:mwe} for an example.

\begin{table}
\caption{Tabulary inside minipage with footnotes}
\label{table:mwe}

\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}

\begin{tabulary}{\textwidth}{lL}
Lipsum para. 1%
    \footnote{This is the first footnote.}
                & \lipsum[1]\\
Lipsum para. 2%
    \footnote{This is the second footnote.}
                & \lipsum[2]\\
\end{tabulary}

\end{minipage}
\end{table}

\end{document}

I would prefer a solution that allows me to keep using tabulary, as I have used this technique throughout a 400-page dissertation. I am using the memoir class, but it also happens in the standard LaTeX classes.
This question seems to stem from the same problem.

A: Just make the footnote on the final typesetting run, not while tabulary is measuring things.

Mighty mice: transgenic technology "knocks out" questions of matrix metalloproteinase function

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) comprise a family of structurally related proteinases that are believed to play a critical role in many physiological and pathological processes. Transgenic technology offers the possibility of determining whether MMPs contribute directly to these processes. For example, gain of function and loss of function models have confirmed causative roles of MMPs in the development of pulmonary emphysema and unexpectedly uncovered an MMP-dependent mechanism of inflammatory cell recruitment. Limitations of these techniques and powerful applications on the horizon are also presented as we embark on an era where controlled experiments can be performed in complex mammalian models.

Between the 1910s and the 1980s, the Jam Handy Organization made thousands of advertising, industrial and training films in their studio complex on East Grand Boulevard. Here are three of the most spectacular, presented as made in 35mm and shown inside the studio where they were created.
"Master Hands": This is a hypnotically thrilling symphony of industry highlighting the skilled hands of auto workers building cars in Flint. Shot in GM factories several months before the successful UAW-led sitdown strikes of 1936-37, the film shows both the grandeur and monotony of auto production when Detroit had no rival.
"American Look": This 1958 tribute to every realm of American mid-century design — interior, product, industrial, graphic, packaging, architectural — marvels at the bright Populuxe world of the late 1950s. The last third of the film takes place at the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, where designers toil behind locked doors to shape and style the fins of the 1959 Chevrolet.
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer": In 1948, Hollywood animator Max Fleischer crafted a modern-for-its-time Rudolph story that actually resembles other Handy films more than Fleischer's classic cartoons.
Co-presented by the Detroit Institute of Arts.
After the films: Prelinger talks to Cézanne J. Charles, director of creative industries at Creative Many, and Daniel Clark, associate history professor at Oakland University.
From producer and Detroit native Capella Fahoome comes the story of this tiny, remote coastal village in Cuba where poverty reigns. And for all the talk of normalizing U.S. relations, nobody believes anything will ever change. An escape to pursue the American Dream preoccupies almost everyone, but fisherman Orlando espouses a different philosophy, passing on his fishing craft to their eldest son. Michigan premiere.

IT'S the problem we've invented because of the excuse of inconvenience.
Australia is regarded as having some of the best water quality in the world, and yet we contribute to the staggering one million plastic bottles being used every minute around the world - most of which end up in the ocean or landfill.
Now there's a push to return to old ways and go back to the "novel idea" of using the tap, filling up reusable bottles in an effort to combat our waste issue and reliance on plastic.
The water issue was one of several tackled in ABC's Q&A panel on waste on Monday night and social media was quick to react, calling for a return to the "old days" when drinking straight from the hose was the norm.
Audience member Peter Hadfield, from Sydney Water, asked the panel what needed to happen to get people to fill their reusable water bottle with H20 from the tap.
He said bottled water could be up to 2000 times more expensive than tap water so a waste problem in Australia caused by plastic bottles seemed "totally needless".
Panellists were quick to point out bottled water did not exist in their day, but with everyone guilty of the habit, they said it was hard to point fingers on who was to blame or who needed to address the issue.
"We can say government must ban it and maybe they should and make it harder - make it more expensive," said Ronni Kahn, chief executive of food rescue charity OzHarvest.
"Each and every one of us are buying bottles of water.
"So I'm always very wary of pointing fingers at other people. Definitely government could do more but so could all of us as consumers. We have to take responsibility. We have to take action and be responsible for the results."
I drink our high quality Sydney Water tap water. Still drink it out of the hose when I wash my car - out of nostalgia, just to remind myself of the good old days 😊 Not dead yet. #qanda I refuse to drink bottled water. Such a scam. Bottled oxygen next.
Jo Taranto, director of social enterprise start up Good for the Hood, said it was one of the simplest habits to kick when you're looking at reducing your plastic footprint.
"We are so blessed in Australia to have clean drinking water," she said.
"I do think occasionally people are scared about what is in water.
"If you are scared about what's in water, you can filter it. You can filter it and you can drink it.
"There is a fear but I do think it's convenience.
"As we've said, most people in the community want to do something for the environment. What trumps that? Generally convenience. People go, 'you know what, if it's inconvenient, I'm just going to buy that'.
"It's like anything, you have to get into the habit of taking your bottle with you."
Host Tony Jones asked Mr Hadfield if the fact people were buying too much bottled water suggested they did not trust the water coming from their taps.
Mr Hadfield there was a perception - particularly thanks to bottled water marketing - the quality in plastic bottles was better.
War on Waste host Craig Reucassel said they had tested water in season two of the series, which premieres on Tuesday night.
"It's fascinating the difference - there's no safety issue with tap water," he revealed.
"In Australia, we're incredibly lucky. A lot of the plastic waste is coming from countries where you don't have good tap water. And obviously people are forced to buy bottled water. "That's what frustrates me so much in Australia is we have great tap water and we're still doing that.
"It's not only about convenience, our fault, and you do need councils, and councils are doing this. If I am the person that carries around my water bottle as I do, there's access to water around the place and becomes more of a normality.
"Years ago Australia was quite bad but it is happening a lot more now. Again, it's the habit change."
Mr Hadfield said Sydney Water was working with 20 local governments in the area and rolled out 170 new water refill stations to overcome the problem and the excuse of inconvenience.
With several other waste issues tackled by the panel, including food waste, recycling, composting and packaging, audience members said it was easy to feel overwhelmed and like what you were doing was not making a difference.
"Each and every one of us has the power to make a difference," Ms Kahn said.
"When you do your little bit, it all adds up. That's really all that you can do."
#QandA Melbourne Uni has bubblers with bottle filling taps. No bottled water sold on campus. Fine.

National Geographic : 1944 Nov
Infantrymen-The Fighters of War Suddenly, out of the cloud dashed that same doughboy. He had beaten that first shell to the ground and then was up and away. He wasn't going to be in that spot when the next salvo hit. Many infantry soldiers are not so lucky. They receive wounds that they will carry through life. The treacherous new German box mine is made to blow off a man's foot. The infantry soldier is much more likely to carry the scars of combat with him to his grave than are the soldiers of any other arm or service. It is very American to be proud of our sons, our relatives, our friends. The place where they serve in the armed forces is of little importance. We are proud of all of them, and rightly so, for each one is making a contribution to our great national effort. We know that every man and woman who is in our armed forces, and who is doing his assigned job as well as he can, is doing his share.* But I am sure every one of them will agree that the doughboy does definitely more than his share. The contribution the men make is shared by their loved ones. Let us not forget that the mothers and fathers, the wives of infan trymen-they too make an outstanding con tribution. From the standpoint of comfort, food, and living conditions, there can be no question that the doughboy and the loyal attached "medics" (page 522) carry a heavy burden. To be wet, muddy, and tired is normal. Not that the infantry soldier is the only soldier who gets muddy. The artillery struggles and works in the mud, and the engineers live in the mud for days at a time. During the first winter in Africa the air fields at Oran and Algiers were muddy land ing strips surrounded by a lake of mud six inches to a foot deep. The difference is that, while others may have to stand, walk, or work in the mud, the doughboy has to stand in it, walk in it, eat in it, lie in it, and frequently die in it. Make-up of an Infantry Regiment Infantry units impress an observer with their cumulative power. An infantry regi ment has a membership of more than 3,000 men. Within the infantry regiment itself there are degrees of hazard, ranging from that faced by the supply and maintenance elements through the headquarters and supporting units to that which confronts the heavy-weapons and rifle companies. They all suffer rela tively heavy casualties, but the heavy-weapons and rifle companies are the units which suffer by far the heaviest casualties of war. The most powerful fighting units of the regiment are the three rifle battalions. Each battalion has approximately 800 men, a num ber which is sometimes increased by the addi tion of attached tanks or other helpers. Each battalion has three rifle companies, a heavy-weapons company, and a headquar ters company. What is called a "triangular" type of or ganization is evident throughout the infan try division. An infantry division is com posed of three infantry regiments and support ing artillery, as well as cavalry reconnaissance, combat engineer, quartermaster, medical, sig nal, and ordnance units. Each infantry regiment has three rifle bat talions plus several supporting fire units. The battalion has three rifle companies plus sup porting fire units. The company has three rifle platoons plus a supporting fire unit. A rifle platoon has three rifle squads. The rifle squad and the rifle platoon are the shock-power elements of battle. They are composed mostly of riflemen-the men who seek out the enemy, the men who are always the first line of battle. These men must know about cover and concealment, how to handle a multitude of weapons, how to use ground, how to work together. They are keen men who must be alert to any menace from front, flanks, and rear; men who can never relax completely no matter how tired or sleepy they may be, brave men who do their job always subject to fire. In short, they are fine Americans who give their lives for the rest of us. In the rifle company itself, always with the rifle platoons in the toughest part of the battle, is the weapons platoon. It has 60-mm. mor tars and light machine guns, and its job is to provide quick fire support when needed (535). The 60-mm. mortar is a most effective weapon, accurate and dependable. It is pushed well forward right behind the rifle platoons, discovers the enemy most harmful to the riflemen, and neutralizes or liquidates him (page 531). The weapons platoon gives the rifle com pany commander fire power to cover the move ments of his rifle platoons. Similarly, in the battalion there is a sup porting fire element known as the heavy-weap ons company. Its major weapons are the 81-mm. mortar and the .30-caliber water cooled, heavy machine gun. The machine gun * See "Women in Uniform," by La Verne Bradley, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE, October, 1943. 517

Perfectly happy in an imperfect palace of naffeness
483rd article
A content bunch: Hanson, Winner and McKenzie at the Vineyard (Geraldine Lynton-Edwards)
You could rewrite the dictionary and put under "naff" The Vineyard at Stockcross, Newbury. It's not just ordinarily naff, or prodigiously naff. It is so naff it's in an outer space orbit of naffness. I enjoyed it greatly.
The first super-naff thing is its appearance. I drove up to see a leftover shiny pipe rising in the air, which is apparently a sculpture. So is the raised pool with gas jets in it facing the hotel entrance. That's called Fire and Water. I think they said it was by someone called Pye. The building itself resembles a French chateau interbred with council flats.
The managing director, Andrew McKenzie, and the manager, Nick Hanson, were waiting for me outside. Did they have a helicopter plotting my path? I wondered. "You can leave it here if you like," they said, referring to my immaculate, silver-grey, 1975 Bentley. I parked it outside the front. "It's very decorative," I assured them.
Inside, there were absurd paintings everywhere. I was led upstairs past a wall of framed reviews. "We've got some real stinkers displayed there," explained Andrew McKenzie with admirable candour. An old one from this newspaper was definitely poor.
"That's clever," I said. "Display all your reviews and everyone will think they're good. Who's going to bother to read them on a staircase?"
My suite was very comfortable. The bathroom was superbly fitted, the four-poster bed draped in a style I'd describe as - naff. The pictures were beyond belief. In the sitting room above the fireplace was a clumsy nude in oil called La Toilette. On the opposite wall another full-length nude asleep and languorous. There was also a dreadful portrait, supposedly of Vivien Leigh. She looked like a Playboy bunny gone wrong.
In the bathroom there was a nude by the same non-artist, Boris Smirnoff, above the toilet, revealing pubic hair and looking gross. She was called The Brunette. A second Smirnoff nude, back view, on another bathroom wall was labelled Innocence. You can't get wall decoration naffer than that.
We took tea by the flaming pool. It was absolutely superb. An exemplary ham sandwich with a bit of mustard, smoked salmon in rye bread, "Scrumptious," opined Ms Lynton-Edwards. The scones were as good as I've ever eaten and they had the sense to serve butter as well as jam and cream. The Earl Grey was just right. The cake was good, the fruit tart historic, the cream cake excellent.
My bedroom had an electric clock with red-light time-signs. It read seven o'clock in the morning, so I got up. Later I discovered it was wrong and it was six o'clock. The literary agent Ed Victor was staying there. He called the desk in the morning to order tea and the man said: "Good evening." Downstairs he ordered "scrambled eggs well done", and the waitress returned to ask how he wanted his fried eggs.
At breakfast I asked where the kippers came from. The restaurant manager, Mark Murray, said: "Loch Fyne." I ordered them and was served whisky porridge. When my kipper finally arrived it was horrendous. It looked like no known object. It had the look of tasteless "plastic". I sampled it, rejected it, and got very good scrambled eggs, sausage and tomato.
The next morning I came downstairs with Geraldine. The restaurant manager was passing by. He looked towards us and walked on without a word. The manager was polite enough to say: "Good morning."
Later I was sitting outside having breakfast and the chef, a nice young man, John Campbell, stopped by. "Where do you get your kippers from?" I asked. "A supplier called Minola in Abergavenny, Wales," he replied.
"The restaurant manager told me they were from Loch Fyne," I said. "He doesn't order them," said John definitively.
The owner then appeared. An extremely charming man called Sir Peter Michael. He's chairman of my favourite radio station Classic FM and was previously brilliantly successful in electronics. He also has a top Californian winery. He told me the 2001 vintage was "rivetingly good".
He explained he'd bought the Vineyard and ran it as a hobby. "It's nice to get everything right," he said. I was just reaching for salt and pepper for my traditional English breakfast. There wasn't any. I thought to mention it would look like a putdown, so I stayed silent.
I've only told you about my accommodation, breakfast and tea because I was there for Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber's at-home arts festival where he provided miraculously good lunches and dinners. Nevertheless, the cost of my two-night stay at the Vineyard was £1,300 for bed, breakfast and tea. I was perfectly happy. Make of that what you will.
Winner's letters
We, too, had some dining disasters at the Belfry (Winner's Dinners last week). We reserved their "top" restaurant, but they lost our booking. We checked whether they'd accidentally reserved the other one, but they hadn't, so we complained to the manager, who didn't know we'd checked and pretended the wrong one had been booked. The next day we decided to have sandwiches in our room while watching the grand prix, but the staff watched it too (we went to check!) and brought our food an hour and a half later.
S Wilson, Marlow
As a group of five couples we booked Sunday lunch at the Chewton Glen hotel, Hampshire. We were advised that due to the size of our group menus would be e-mailed to us so we could pre-choose. My e-mail advised that all five couples would have to choose the same starter, main and sweet and that a £340 deposit was required. We cancelled and had an excellent roast at the Fisherman's Rest, Lymington, with no pre-selection or pre-payment.
Jon Sutton, Lymington
Having sampled the food at the Belvedere, I thought it very wise of Michael Winner to take his own sandwiches (Winner's Dinners, September 29). If, as Gordon Ramsay said, he knows nothing about food at least he knows something about bad food. As for awarding Marco Pierre White the Machiavelli prize, I couldn't agree more! I have worked with the man.
Mark Hatton, Manager of the Box Tree, Ilkley
The restaurants referred to by Michael Winner (September 29) that are rude in response to customers' complaints should take a leaf from John Tovey's book. Several years ago at the Miller Howe, Windermere, as a result of revamping the dining room to meet growing demand, our party was ushered directly to our table instead of enjoying aperitifs in the lounge. There then ensued a wait of about 45 minutes. On writing to Mr Tovey to complain we received a personal apology with an invitation to a free meal. Not only this, but the great man joined us halfway through the meal with his steak and salad to again apologise and explain what was being done to avoid a repetition of our experience. Perhaps he is of a dying breed.
Alan Dunn, Milnthorpe, Cumbria

Double Oak mayor to seek fourth term
Date: Sunday, January 6, 2019
Double Oak Mayor Mike Donnelly
Double Oak Mayor Mike Donnelly has announced he will seek a fourth consecutive and fifth overall term as mayor this May.
"Today I am honored to announce my candidacy for re-election as Mayor of Double Oak, Texas. Double Oak maintains one of the lowest overall property tax rates in Denton County and North Texas and our residents enjoy living on spacious one-acre or larger lots. The town has received recognition as a desirable, safe and scenic community in which to live," said Donnelly.
Donnelly has a long record of service to the community. He was elected three times by Double Oak voters to serve on town council, and first served as mayor from 2009 to 2011. After taking a year off for family time and trips, he returned to council in 2012 and was appointed by fellow council members as Mayor Pro-Tem.
In 2013, he was elected as mayor to fill the seat left vacant after Mayor Tom Pidcock passed away in July 2012 due to complications from a prolonged illness.
Donnelly has been employed with American Airlines for over 30 years. He and his wife, Treva, have a daughter, Elizabeth, who attends Texas A&M University.
"I enjoy representing and working with our residents, staff and elected officials every day. Together, we will continue to make decisions and plans that best serve the interest of Double Oak. It would be an honor to continue to serve as Mayor," said Donnelly.
The official filing period begins on Jan. 16 and runs through Feb. 15.

    Gigabyte_data = [Gigabyte_chart]

elif name=='MSI' :
    MSI_chart = go.Line(x=MSI['Date'],y=MSI['Close'])
    MSI_data = [MSI_chart]
    iplot(MSI_data)

However, the plots are not showing up when I choose the a value from the dropdown menu. What am i doing wrong? I have used Plotly before to plot the charts but I am new to ipywidgets and so any and all help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

A: At the end of your code you need to make the dropdown widget call the response function when it's value changes.
stocks.observe(response, type='change', names=['value'])

A: Plotly has a widget mode which works well and I use it sometimes, together with Voila for dashboarding (https://github.com/QuantStack/voila) and with other ipywidgets including BQplot. (I prefer some Plotly plot types and I prefer the interactively of BQplot).
This code has not been tested but it could be something like this.
import ipywidgets as widgets
import plotly.graph_objs as go

data = [go.Scatter(
    x = Intel['date'],
    y = Intel['close'],
    mode = 'lines',
    name = 'Data',
    line = dict(
        color = ('rgb(205, 12, 24)'),
        width = 4)
)]

plotlyFig = go.Figure(data=data)
plotlyFig['layout'].update(height=800,
                           width=800,
                           title='',

There's a subtle and certain magic that occurs when the right mics and the right preamps, in the right room, capture bow meeting string in just the right way. Heavyocity's goal, when developing Rhythmic Textures, was to capture that magic. Rhythmic Textures is the moving, expressive counterpart to 2017's Intimate Textures - focused on delivering carefully and deliberately crafted rhythmic elements, played together in intimate chamber string ensembles. From cellos layering sul pont tremolos over swells, to violin staccatos played over col legno tapping, Rhythmic Textures delivers 16 truly unique ensemble articulations, with 12+ GB of chamber strings content, production-ready for your next score.
Heavyocity once again returned to the intimate confines of Reservoir Studios in NYC for Rhythmic Textures, capturing world-class players, performing in three and four person violin, viola, and cello ensembles. Working in conjunction with acclaimed Film Score Mixer Satoshi Mark Noguchi (Lion, Lone Survivor, Oblivion), Rhythmic Textures achieves a level of detail and clarity that is unprecedented for a chamber-style group - a richness and realism not yet achieved in a chamber strings virtual instrument before. Feel like you're in the room with each key depressed, with every stroke of the bow, as Rhythmic Textures serves as the inspirational center of your next cinematic score.
A collection of thousands of meticulously-recorded samples is great, but what sets Heavyocity's virtual instruments apart are the serious sound-shaping capabilities of their engines. And the the award-winning NOVO engine is no exception. Armed with the pristine organic content from Rhythmic Textures, the ability to create synthetic-style strings and deeply-unique rhythmic pulses is right at your fingertips. From the awesome modulating power of the instrument's central MACRO CONTROL to the granular sample playback possibilities of CYCLE, the NOVO engine puts a cutting-edge arsenal of sound-design tools directly into the composer's hands.

La iglesia de San Juan del Mercado es un templo románico situado en la ciudad de Benavente, provincia de Zamora, España.

Situación y origen
Situada en la plaza a la que da su nombre, su fábrica fue iniciada por Aldonza, hija de los condes Osorio Martínez y Teresa Fernández, señora de Villalobos, que en 1181 se encontraba en Benavente construyendo una iglesia, "de sillares de piedra cuadrados" con el consejo y autoridad de los Hospitalarios, orden que finalmente sería la que se quedó con la custodia del templo, dejándolo bajo la advocación de San Juan, esta última aún mantenida.

Estilo y planta

La iglesia de San Juan de Mercado responde al estilo románico, s. XII, aunque su cubierta no se realizó con bóvedas, motivo por lo que actualmente cuenta con techo de madera y tejado a dos aguas.

Su planta de 62 m largo x 24 m de ancho es de tipo basilical de tres tramos con ábsides semicirculares. El templo presenta la orientación litúrgica habitual, con una ligera desviación, NE 65º.
En la construcción de la etapa románica del templo, se utilizó piedra arenisca tallada a hacha de cantero correctamente escuadrada.

Destaca el elevado número de marcas de cantero tanto en el exterior como en el interior del templo, aprox. 2830 de 533 tipos diferentes, algunos poco frecuentes. Se concentran en la fachada sur, ábside y columnas de la nave de la epístola.

Interior:
 Ábside Sur, tramo recto.
 Arco triunfal, col Sur.
 Columna Sur de tramo 3.
 Puerta de Sacristía nueva.
 Muro Sur, 4º tramo.
 Pasadizo entre ábside central y nave del Evangelio, inscripción con data.
 Columna del . tramo de la Nave de la Epístola, inscripción.

Exterior:
 Fachada Sur, Pórtico, contrafuertes y ábside.

La Nave (8) consta de cuatro tramos, y cubierta de madera a dos aguas en la nave central y simple en las laterales. La nave central es doble de ancha que las laterales.
Interiormente consta de cuatro grandes columnas en forma de cruz en los tramos más orientales y otras cuatro de menor porte en los occidentales, todas con semi-columnas adosadas.

La cabecera está formada por un Presbiterio (3) de tramo recto con bóveda de medio punto reforzada y Ábside (3) triple semicircular, más ancho y avanzado el central con bóveda de horno reforzada por dos semi-columnas y tres ventanas aspilladas con derrame interior.
El ábside es similar a la vecina iglesia de Santa María de Azogue pero con una decoración más propia de los edificios situados en el Camino de Santiago.

El Crucero (7) no sobresale del conjunto.

El templo posee tres Portadas, todas de estilo románico:
Destaca la orientada al sur por su amplio desarrollo iconográfico, del cual se ha llegado a decir que presenta semejanzas con el famoso Pórtico de la Gloria de la Catedral de Santiago de Compostela.
El Pórtico Sur (2) muestra arco de medio punto ligeramente apuntado apoyado en jambas lisas y tres arquivoltas abocinadas sobre parejas de columnas con capiteles decorados y esculturas.

En el tímpano se representa una Epifanía, con la Adoración de los Reyes Magos, situando en el centro a la Virgen con el Niño en brazos, a la izquierda los reyes en actitud de ofrenda y, por último, a la derecha a San José dormitando apoyado sobre un bastón.

En el resto de la portada aparecen escenas relacionadas con el nacimiento de Jesucristo.
Son también de destacar las seis esculturas adheridas a las columnas que representan a los profetas, reconociéndose entre ellos a Moisés, David y San Juan Bautista.
El conjunto se apoya en mochetas que representan a Lucas (Buey) y Mateo (Ángel).

Las otras dos portadas, son mucho más sencillas, sin tímpano y con decoración de tipo esquemático.

La entrada al templo se efectúa por el Pórtico Oeste (4) con arco de medio punto y tres arquivoltas abocinadas apoyadas en impostas decoradas y jambas lisas. El conjunto sobresale ligeramente la fachada.

Existe un tercer Pórtico Norte (1), actualmente (2011) no accesible; en su día dio paso a un claustro desaparecido.
</div>

De su interior, destacan las pinturas del ábside central que se centran en el bautismo de Cristo. De su escultura destacan algunas figuras procedentes de las iglesias de Benavente ya desaparecidas: la Piedad del Monasterio de los Jerónimos, San Antonio Abad de la Iglesia de San Antón y San Ciprián procedente de San Miguel.

Especial mención merece el retablo hispanoflamenco del muro norte, cuya fábrica se atribuye a algún discípulo de Juan de Borgoña.

Charcoal and wood smoker BBQs have become popular as more BBQ chefs are enjoying the delights of smoking food. Smoking salmon, hams, and bacon are the easiest way to start your smoking food experience.
You have the choice of woodchip smoking on wood or charcoal or even gas. Offset smokers are the classic styled smoker BBQ, often with side fireboxes. Examples of these are the Char-Griller, Char- broil, and Landman ranges. Vertical smokers are another option, with the Callow gourmet smoker offering a great entry level. It is a versatile BBQ with multiple shelves and hanging racks, ideal for hosting barbecues with hams, bacon, or even fish. Smoker boxes can always be added to traditional gas BBQs, which can be filled with woodchips to add extra flavour, a great introduction to smoking food.

Finding a top-notch personal injury lawyer in Panama City Beach should be your top priority if you want to win your case. Hiring the right personal injury attorney in Panama City Beach, FL can spell the difference between getting maximum compensation and absolutely nothing out of your troubles. If you don't know your rights, not only will you shoulder all the hospitalization expenses but the long rehab process, as well. Personal injury lawyers can help a complainant receive compensation especially when the injury has caused hospitalization, physical incapacity, pain and emotional distress. If the case is won, the complainant will receive monetary compensation to cover for the attorney, as well as all legal and medical fees.
The best car accident lawyers specialize in all forms of incidents involving motor vehicles and have helped countless victims receive what is due to them. According to the Association for Safe and International Road Travel, about 1.3 million die every year because of road crash. On top of that, around 50 million people end up injured or disabled. You can trust in our car accident lawyer in Panama City Beach to face any challenge with you. We have fought and won against many large companies that have unlimited resources and manpower to back-up their claims. We've seen cases where those who were responsible went scot-free on a technicality. We will help you familiarize with the law and the legal process.
In choosing a Panama City Beach work accident lawyer, you must consider how much he/she requires to take from the settlement money. Just look at the numbers from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which states that in 2015, there were 4,836 fatal work-related accidents. The report is not clear on the number of people who filed a case, but it's a good bet that a good number were persuaded into dropping any litigation plan after their hospitalization and burial expenses have been paid. It is also equally important to find a local work accident lawyer to ensure that you can personally meet or communicate. It may be difficult to work with a law firm situated in a distant city. The problem is that not all employees and their families know that they have rights under the law and that they are entitled to compensation in case of death, illness and injury. In order to maximize the amount of money you can obtain from the lawsuit, you must ensure that the law firm you hire won't charge more than 20% of the claim. There may be some instances where you need to make decisions for the case, so it is essential to hire a personal injury attorney near you.
The ideal construction accident lawyer in Panama City Beach will avoid a trial at all cost. Well-trained construction accident lawyers won't just tell you to take the settlement pay.

Choose a law firm that will fight for you until the very end of the case.
There are several law firms in the Panama City Beach but A-List Accident Lawyer is the ideal size to represent you.

Contact our personal injury attorney in Panama City Beach now so you, too, will understand why fighting for your rights is the best thing you will do in these very difficult times. Rest assured that we won't charge you anything for your initial inquiries.


Contracting an infection of the brain is more common than some expect. Naegleria Fowleri is a dangerous amoeba parasite that is invisible to the naked eye. This is why it is important to understand the ways a person can come into contact with Naegleria Fowleri, the symptoms of brain infection, and treatment options for this brain eating disease.
Amoeba parasites can be found in warm bodies of water, mud puddles, and low flowing creeks or rivers. Untreated swimming pools, thermally polluted water, and hot springs are also at risk. Amoeba parasites not only survive, but thrive in hot temperatures.
The scientific name for the brain eating amoeba parasite is Naegleria Fowleri. Simply put, Naegleria Fowleri is a brain eating disease. The brain is a source of food for amoeba parasites. The brain eating parasite may enter the body many ways, but it is most dangerous if it enters the body through the nose. The nose is a direct pathway to the brain. Amoeba parasites do not feed on any other body organs. More people contract this Naegleria Fowleri than reported. In some cases, the body fights off the brain eating amoeba parasite on its own. In other cases, the brain eating parasite may go misdiagnosed, untreated, and can cause a fairly sudden death.
Doctors continue to study amoeba parasites. There are no current treatment options that can guarantee a cure, although some success has been seen by combining a variety of treatments. The best course of action is prevention. This is why it is advisable to wear nose protection while engaging in any fresh water activities and sports, especially if the water is warm and still.
Kali Hardig is a 12-year old girl who came into contact with the brain eating amoeba parasite at an Arkansas water park. She contracted primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, and she is one of only two survivors of this serious infection within the last 50 years. During those 50 years, there have been 128 cases reported in total. Kali's treatment involved antibiotics, anti fungal medicine, and an experiment anti amoeba drug that Kali's doctors received directly from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In the hospital, Kali's doctors also kept her body temperature at 93 degrees Celsius.
Although this treatment worked for Kali over a period of six weeks, this same Naegleria Fowleri treatment failed to work for a 12-year old boy from Florida. He passed away in August after contracting Naegleria Fowleri while kneeboarding in a ditch filled with warm water by his family's house.
The survival rate of this brain eating amoeba parasite is less than 1%, making Naegleria Fowleri prevention very important. Be sure to wear ear plugs and nose guards while swimming in fresh, warm water. In addition, be selective about which bodies of water your family is (and is not) allowed to swim in. Make sure that your children understand your water safety rules and the reasons behind them. You can find Doug Martin on Google+.

Jay Leno drives the 1,341-hp Koenigsegg One:1
Viknesh Vijayenthiran October 11, 2016 Comment Now!
There are only seven Koenigsegg One:1s in the world, and just one of them resides in the U.S.—and Jay Leno has driven it.
This is one car Leno doesn't actually own, although he's still thoroughly impressed by it, as evidenced by his reaction upon seeing it, featured in this recent episode of Jay Leno's Garage.
The car was at a Michelin test track in Laurens, South Carolina, and on hand to explain all the details was Koenigsegg CEO and founder Christian von Koenigsegg. All One:1s have a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8, 7-speed dual-clutch transmissions, and almost full carbon fiber construction.
Koenigsegg One:1 destined for customer in the United States
This particular car was first shown during the 2015 Monterey Car Week and is the last of the seven One:1s built. Its owner was gracious enough to allow Leno to drive the car, which we should remind you originally retailed for approximately $2 million. We've since seen examples retail for three times that figure.
If you're not completely up to date on the One:1, the car draws its name from the fact that it delivers one horsepower, measured in metric hp, for every kilogram of weight including with the driver on board and the tank filled halfway. That's 1,360 metric hp combined with 1,360 kg of weight. For American readers, that's 1,341 hp and 2,998 lbs.
With such impressive numbers, it's not surprising that the car has been smashing records since its launch at the 2014 Geneva auto show. The most recent was a new record of just 17.95 seconds for the 0-300-0 kmh (0-186-0 mph) acceleration and brake test. Koenigsegg in July attempted to beat the Porsche 918 Spyder's 6:57 Nürburgring record using another customer's One:1, though a crash put an end to the attempt. That car is being rebuilt and may be back at the 'Ring one day.

A Scottish Conquistador and Global Scots in the Sixteenth Century
September 30, 2020 Editorial Team
By Joseph Wagner
The study of Scottish interactions with the world outside of Europe in the seventeenth century has greatly expanded over the past twenty-five years. It has been galvanised by moving away from a focus on Scotland's 'national' attempts at empire-building, such as the unsuccessful attempts to colonise Nova Scotia in the 1620s and 1630s and Darien (Panama) at the turn of the century. Instead, the focus has largely shifted to what T. M. Devine has referred to as 'imperialism by stealth' – participation in the empires of other European states at the individual level of merchant, soldier, official, and investor.[1] Information brought to light by studies in this vein has changed the traditional view that suggests Scots did not fruitfully engage in transoceanic ventures until the eighteenth century.[2] The work on Scottish 'imperialism by stealth' has, however, overlooked a crucial point. The transoceanic activities of Scots in the seventeenth century were a continuation of a pattern that saw Scots taking part in the global expansion of other European kingdoms in the sixteenth century.
This post seeks to briefly outline one of the earliest known examples of this phenomenon: the career of Thomas Blake. Thomas Blake, or Tomás Blaque as he appears in the Spanish sources, was born in Scotland to William Blake and Agnes Mowat circa 1506.[3] It is not certain how or why he became part of a Spanish venture to the 'New World', but doing so made him the first person from the British Isles known to have permanently settled in the Americas. Demonstrating that he arrived in South America in or before 1533, he related that 'he was at the pacification of Cartagena, under the banner of a brother of the governor [Pedro de] Heredia' that took place that year.[4] He then spent at least fifteen months in Cartagena before moving to Mexico City, where he established himself as a hosier (a maker and seller of legwear).[5] Likely as a member of the supply train, he accompanied Francisco Vázquez de Coronado in an exploration of what is now the southwestern United States in search of the legendary Cities of Cíbola (the Seven Cities of Gold) in 1540-1542.[6]
After the expedition, Blake returned to Mexico City where he married Francisca de Ribera, widow of the conquistador Cristóbal de Canyego, in 1544. Indicating that he was one of the first Scots to own slaves in the transatlantic context of the early modern period, he possessed four enslaved people at the time of his marriage: an African woman and three Indigenous men.[7] It appears he spent the rest of his life in Mexico City as a hosier and merchant. After meeting Blake there in 1556, the English merchant Robert Thomson described him as 'a Scottishman borne, who had dwelt and had bene married in the said Citie above twentie yeeres before I came'.[8]
Blake had no children of his own and disowned his stepdaughter, Francisca de Canyego, because she married against his wishes.[9] It is not certain when he died; the latest known evidence relating to him dates from a court case in 1572.[10] Demonstrating a transatlantic link with Spain, Blake's will included a gift of 1,500 Castilian ducats to create a chapel in the church of San Juan de la Palma in Seville.[11] This gift suggests the possibility that he had spent time in Seville before making his transatlantic journey. If so, his time there could have been related to the city's English merchant community.[12] It is, however, also possible that the gift stemmed from his wife's connection with Seville rather than his own.
Thomas Blake is the earliest known example of a Scot participating in transoceanic 'imperialism by stealth', but there were others in the sixteenth century. Scots were involved in Dutch, French, Portuguese, and Spanish operations in the Caribbean, South America, Africa, Asia, and the Arctic during the period. As the work of the past twenty-five years has resulted in the recognition that Scots were globally active in the seventeenth century, research into Blake and others demonstrates that Scottish involvement in transoceanic activity dates to the sixteenth century.
Author's Bio: Joseph Wagner is a PhD candidate at the University of St Andrews. His research interests include Scottish involvement in overseas expansion in the early modern period and the relationship between England and Scotland during the Union of the Crowns (1603-1707). He recently authored an article published in the Journal of British Studies titled "The Scottish East India Company of 1617: Patronage, Commercial Rivalry, and the Union of the Crowns" (July 2020).

I am a northern girl raised in central Minnesota and the UP of Michigan. Loving the cold, snowy winter I went to Northern Michigan University and majored in biochemistry. As an undergraduate I spent six months studying British history and culture in the Duke of Northumberland's castle, made famous as the setting for the Harry Potter movies. I also spent a summer in China.
Upon graduation I had no idea what I wanted to do, so I applied to and was accepted as the first graduate student in the new Master of Chemistry program at Northern Michigan University. This gave me my first experience as a teaching assistant. I loved teaching and decided to get a Ph.D. So I went off to the beautiful Pacific Northwest and earned my Ph.D. in bioanalytical chemistry at Washington State University working with Jim Schenk.
I continued my education with a three-year post doc in the physiology department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison working in the lab of Edwin Chapman. Eager to finally make some money, I took a job at a biotech company in Madison. After a year I decided it was time to teach. I came to St. Norbert College four years ago and love teaching. At St. Norbert College I teach biochemistry I and II and quantitative and instrumental analysis. I am married and have two daughters, Audrey and Violet. I love any outdoor activity.

hpHosts Blog: Oi BBC, Nigel - STOP IT!
Been watching the latest unfold all morning, and since the results were finalized, there's been one constant - a claim "the UK has voted to leave" - NO WE DID NOT!, only HALF of the UK did (51.9% to be exact, out of a 72% turnout (just under 3 quarters voted) - that is not "the UK", that's only half of those that voted!).
