The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, told THG that, a while ago, her DVD recorder (a gift) had packed up. As she is on a fixed income and rarely has money to spare, she made repeated attempts to have it repaired because she could simply not afford a new one. Unfortunately, her efforts were unsuccessful and she was, ultimately, forced to scratch together the funds to buy a new one. She duly came up with a deposit of R1 500.00, chose what she wanted and paid Vision 2000 – who promised to set it aside for her to collect when she paid the balance at the end of that month.
All good, she arrived back there at month end, along with the balance that had been donated by a family member, only to find that "someone" at Vision 2000 had sold her DVD recorder and "did not have" another. Then told her that she would have to pay another R700.00 for another model if she wanted a DVD recorder. No apology, no compensation – take it or leave it. The woman is old and no match for the brusque tactics employed by the outlet. She coughed up and got the alternate recorder. What choice did she have? But she did let THG know exactly how she felt about her treatment at Vision 2000 and heartily recommend them as April's "Lemon of the Month!


It's clear that New York City is one of the most popular destinations for expats and Americans alike to live in. London is the only other city in the world that can compete on the basis of being so international, and New York City also literally has the United Nations near its heart. It's the land of opportunity for those who can afford to move there, and that's really the tricky part.
Housing prices in New York City (as in London) are outrageous, which makes the stunt pulled off recently by a British couple even more impressive. They are location-independent workers who decided to live in NYC for 6 months, moving every few weeks to cover a total of 8 of the trendiest and most popular expat neighborhoods. They don't mention how they did it, but I assume they found short-term rentals on craigslist or perhaps Airbnb from people who were leaving town for just a few weeks.
One reason I found this article so interesting is that I grew up in the Los Angeles area, but I lived for about 5 years off and on in NYC, spending time in almost all of the neighborhoods they did. It's interesting to see a foreigner's perspective of a city I called home for so long, and just as interesting to see that I agree with pretty much everything they said.
It's true that New York City and London (and Paris and Berlin and many others) can be so complex that you could move 3 or 4 blocks away and feel like you are in a different country. A good friend of mine has lived in Astoria, Queens for going on 20 years and I know exactly the streets the Brits mention where one block is Arabs, the next block is Greeks, and another is mostly Italians. Many people brag of the diversity, but really they tend to be tiny and mostly closed communities that happen to exist next to each other.
As someone who has now lived in almost 10 different countries and in a variety of cities large and small, this experiment hits home because it helps point out how different one's experience can be depending on the block you end up on. I've written in the past about how I moved to Chiang Mai for a few months but didn't really enjoy it because the apartment I rented turned out to be a long way from any expat neighborhood. And I've had an incredible time living for over a year in Kas, Turkey, when I got lucky and was plugged into the expat community on my second day there, and was treated like family when finding housing and such.
Finding proper housing can make or break the entire experience of living in a foreign city, as I've learned. We often concentrate on finding a "nice place that we can afford" but really that's what I had in Chiang Mai and I was pretty miserable. I'm trying to be extremely conscious of the neighborhoods before I commit to a place now, and to me it's worth waiting longer and staying in a hotel for a while in order to make just the right decision.

Q: Xfce equivalent for advanced keyboard settings - e.g. for "Right Alt key never chooses 3rd level" or "Caps lock behavior" I had a situation where I needed to disable right-Alt for selecting 3rd level and to set a new key for that level, as said here. In KDE Plasma there are obvious settings under System Settings > Input Devices > Keyboard > Advanced,

while in Gnome they are under Gnome-tweak-tool - Typing - Key to choose 3rd level - Right Alt key never chooses 3rd level.

Are there such settings in Xfce?

Lincoln County Oral History
Mary Lucille Burgin
LINCOLN COUNTY ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW
MARY LUCILLE BURGIN INTERVIEWED BY ELSIE MATHENY
https://www.lcplinfo.org/wp-content/uploads/Dropbox/Lincoln%20County%20Oral%20History/Mary%20Lucille%20Burgin%20interviewed%20by%20Elsie%20Matheny%2012-22-77.mp3
Ms. Matheny: The following is an unrehearsed interview of Miss Mary Lucille Burgin of Crab Orchard, Kentucky by Elsie C. Matheny, interviewer, for the Kentucky Bicentennial Oral History Project. The interview was conducted in Crab Orchard in the home of Miss Burgin, on February 22, 1977 at 3:00.
(tape goes off, then back on)
Ms. Matheny: Mary Lucille, you have lived in Crab Orchard quite a long time, haven't you?
Miss Burgin: Yes, I have; practically all my life.
Ms. Matheny: Were your parents from Crab Orchard?
Miss Burgin: My mother was from Crab Orchard. She was Betty Edmiston and she married Dr. Welby Wilson Burgin from Madison County.
Ms. Matheny: Now, her mother was from Crab Orchard also.
Miss Burgin: Yes, she was Nancy Lucy Pleasants. Now, Pleasants were some of the first settlers around Crab Orchard.
Ms. Matheny: Well, it is so nice to have somebody who knows a lot about Crab Orchard and their relatives have come from Crab Orchard. I'm sure that you know a great deal about its history, and we would like to…you to give us something about the Crab Orchard Baptist Church…the history of the Crab Orchard Baptist Church.
Miss Burgin: Well, the Baptist Church here was formerly called Cedar Creek Church. Now, it was organized in 1791 by William Marshall. And, they had 40 members that were dismissed from the Gilberts' Creek Church. And, the Gilberts' Creek Church was Craig's travelling church that was going through the country and it was settled this side of Lancaster, and they dismissed the 40 members to come here in town and start this church.
Ms. Matheny: Do you have any information as to who the first pastor was?
Miss Burgin: Yes, the first pastor was William Bledsoe. And, then, in 1792, Jeremiah
Vardiman (sic), and he was baptized by Bledsoe. And, then, later, he was licensed to preach. And, he became the second pastor of the church in 1802. And, it was during his pastoring that the name of the church was changed to Crab Orchard Baptist Church, and the cause of a new house of worship was built in the village of Crab Orchard. This building was a brick structure facing the North built in 1808.
Ms. Matheny: Now, what did they do with the former church? Did they use it for some other purpose?
Miss Burgin: Well, they built this frame church that was larger to take care of the members. And, my mother told me that she went to school in an old brick building in back of this church, so it sounds like this old church could have been used as a school building.
Ms. Matheny: Now, do you know anything about the size of the membership or anything about that building that was built in 1810?
Miss Burgin: Well, they had a large membership. There was over 400, and that's why they had to move out of this brick and build this larger frame building. And, during the civil war, the United States, the government, used this building for a hospital, and, so, some of the members were scattered around and they didn't have any services for several years in there.
Ms. Matheny: Well, a lot of churches became disorganized during this time. And, I'm sure that the Crab Orchard Baptist Church did too, and probably had to build their membership up again. Do you know anything about the history during the period from 1866?
Miss Burgin: It was that time that the church began to grow. And, Reverend John James was called in as the pastor. And, at that time, they had less than 40 members. But, by 1870, the church was moving forward and a great revival was sweeping over the state, from 1870 to 1873.
Ms. Matheny: Now, this is an outstanding period in religion in our state. And, I've been told that fire destroyed this frame building.
Miss Burgin: Yes, that was in 1948. And, then on June 18, 1950, the brick structure that is there now, was dedicated.
(tape goes off and then back on)
Ms. Matheny: And, your present membership is what, now?
Miss Burgin: Well, we have around 380 members, but they are not all resident members. I would say it would be 225 resident members at the present.
Ms. Matheny: Well, then, you would say that the Crab Orchard Baptist Church has more membership than any other church in Crab Orchard?
Miss Burgin: Yes, I would so.
Ms. Matheny: And, it is the leading place of worship. Well, I thank you very much, Mary Lou, and this has been quite interesting. And, could you tell me the source of your information?
Miss Burgin: This was from some old church records.
Ms. Matheny: And, did that come from any of the old church books or records….
Miss Burgin: A lot of our church books and things was destroyed when the fire destroyed our building in 1948, so we lost a lot of records. But, some of the records, they had enough that they knew that this was how our church started.
Ms. Matheny: Well, I think this is very interesting, and this has been quite a fine interview, and I thank you very much. This concludes it.
Miss Burgin: Thank you.

Janelle Monae & Tessa Thompson's 'Dirty Computer' Characters Are Twitter's New Favorite Sci-Fi Heroes — VIDEO
By Nina Bradley
Janelle Monae/YouTube; asiaaaa_808/Twitter
Janelle Monàe dropped her highly anticipated album and accompanying mini-film Dirty Computer on Friday, and fans can't get over all of the greatness the project embodies. The film — which features overt themes of intersectional feminism, sex-positivity, and unapologetic black pride — has led Monáe and Tessa Thompson's Dirty Computer characters to become the internet's latest obsession. And with one glance at the sci-fi film, it's easy to see why.
The 44-minute video, which Monáe has dubbed as an "emotion picture," premiered on the BET and MTV networks before becoming available on YouTube on Friday. The short showcases Monáe portraying Jane 57821 alongside Thompson, and it's set in a future world where people exist as "computers." Speaking of the project ahead of its release, Monáe told Rolling Stone:
"Dirty Computer is a near-future story that takes place in a totalitarian society. I play a citizen, living life, finding love, being myself in a society where that makes me an outlaw, something 'dirty' that the society needs to get rid of. I think it speaks to where we are right now, and what we've gone through recently as black millennials, and as women, and as Americans."
Interest in Monáe's project has been building exponentially after the release of several music videos over the past few weeks, which hinted about the project's overall narrative of women's empowerment and self-love.
Janelle Monáe on YouTube
All of those visuals now appear as part of the film's larger storyline in which memories are deleted and Jane 57821 gets reprogrammed to dwell in this new world, according to Pitchfork.
Creed actor Thompson, who has been a longtime friend of Monáe's, notably appears throughout the project in several different aspects that have sent fans into a frenzy about her character's undeniable on-screen chemistry with Monáe's Jane 57821.
While Monáe and Thompson have been the subject of dating rumors for some time now, neither of them has ever confirmed or talked about any relationship, beyond the one that they've shared on a professional and friendship level.
When asked about how she felt about fans 'shipping them on the internet by Entertainment Tonight in February, Thompson responded: "Janelle and I have been really close. We've been really good friends at this point for about three and a half years. Janelle is somebody that is interested in empowering not just women but people to be who they are."
Continuing that message of being yourself, in an April 26 interview with Rolling Stone, Monáe revealed she's dated both men and women in the past, though she did not expand on any relationships in particular. She also shared that she identifies with aspects of pansexuality, explaining, "I'm open to learning more about who I am." Monàe continued:
"Being a queer black woman in America ... someone who has been in relationships with both men and women – I consider myself to be a free-ass motherf*cker."
The same day that Monáe's Rolling Stone interview came out, Thompson posted the below tweet in support:
While Dirty Computer seems to signal a major progression in Monáe's music career, it's something that she's had on her mind for quite some time, per Rolling Stone.
"I actually had this title … before my first album The ArchAndroid," Monáe told Beats 1's Zane Lowe, "and it scared me because a lot of the things that I knew that I needed to say were very deep, very personal, from the heart. … This is an extremely vulnerable album and it took me a while to make it because I'm a self-editor."
Thompson also explained her take on the project during a recent interview at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. Per Women's Wear Daily:
"It's set in a dystopian future in which the government is plucking folks that are 'dirty computers,' essentially, that are different. And many of them are black and brown and queer people, and they're trying to sort of wash them of the things that make them who they are and their memories. So as a narrative structure the videos are the memories that are being wiped."
The Westworld actor continued, "So we made a little movie. I'm a huge fan of science fiction and speculative fiction. I think inside that space you can sort of talk about where we're going as humans and it's more palpable, and people have an easier time digesting ideas inside of a space that feels like it's a skosh from reality." And it sounds like the internet is a fan as well.
Viewers of Monáe's latest offering seem to be totally here for the new project, and the addition of Thompson makes it that much more special.

Welsh UFO sightings from 2007. For sightings from other years please click HERE.
MOD FILES
Tuesday January 16th, 20:45
Llanpumsaint, Carmarthenshire
The witness, a lorry driver from Carmarthen, was driving alone in his lorry near Llanpumpsaint. It as dark but there were not many clouds around. He spotted a ball of light overhead which faded away, then came back again.
Then there was an orange ball on the right hand side of his vehicle which seemed stationary, visible for quite a while, then three red lights were seen afterwards, in the distance, moving very fast from left to right. There was erratic movement and they were then moving in a circular clockwise motion.
After the red lights, he couldn't be sure, but there may have been a series of other lights in the distance, that were erratic too. (SUFON summary)
Jan 24th, 07:30
BBC News reported on sightings of lights that came in from the Llyn Peninsula to Swansea.
Morfudd Parry Roberts of Aberdaron, Gwynedd, said: "I was sitting having a cup of coffee by the window when I saw it move from the north towards the south. It was a long line, thicker at the front end. It was quite frightening because it was so big. It was a bluey-green and flashing. It was at least 50 times bigger than a shooting star and seemed to be gliding through the sky quite low down, not falling."
Jay Tate from Spaceguard UK said it was most likely to be a piece of space debris entering the earth's atmosphere.
BUFORA / MUFON
2nd February, 20:35
Witness was driving when they saw an "exceptionally bright white light with green underbelly". It drifted down for c. 3 seconds then disappeared with a flash that lit up the road. They originally reported the sighting to BUFORA then, dissatisfied with their response (bolide space debris), to MUFON on July 29th 2018.
"I originally reported this incident to bufora with dogmatic response which i was never satisfied with. i felt that it lacked scrutiny. prognosis was a bolide space debris, however there was no explosion - the object simply disappeared, it was not a straight flight, it was utterly silent - the night was very still for a november, fireworks emit bangs, there were none. unusually it was very hard to range the object which i don't normally find difficult being a professional engineer. i also gave another incident to report from the same location of an orange orb in 2009 also reported with a dismissive response again that i felt didn't address the issue. photos attached carry the originally completed forms. please take seriously. many thanks."

"My wife saw it first from the kitchen window and after she had watched it for a little while called me to have a look, I think in all it was visible for 45/60 minutes approximately."
Geoff Richardson of The WHY? Files received the video footage taken, lasting some 25 minutes, towards the end of 2007. Explanations suggested on UFO forums included Venus.

Llandaff Fields, Cardiff
Dr Nathanael Inkson was cycling home saw what appeared to be a bright star. He thought it might be a satellite but it was not travelling in a straight line. He ruled out a plane (no navigation lights, too fast) and a helicopter (no sound), and the object was in view for around a minute. He wrote into UFO Monthly magazine #36 to report the sighting.
May 29th, 23:45
Pontrobert/Meiford, Powys
Witness was in a car with three other people when they saw a large triangular shaped object. It was bright green and blue, came from the west, and hovered above them. Later a second object appeared with pink pulsating lights. The sighting was reported to Dyfed Powys police.
Witness and his girlfriend saw a triangular or boomerang shaped UFO. It was a dull metallic colour, and about 3.5 metres across. It was extremely fast moving, flying left to right about two or three metres above the fairly clam surface of the sea. It made no noise. The sighting lasted around 45 seconds.
Frasier: 'My girlfriend and I were having a picnic on the Orme late afternoon in June 2007. We had been watching a jetski in the bay for several minutes. A minute or so after the jetski had disappeared round the headland towards the town, my girlfriend nudged me and pointed to something in the bay.
It was a triangular or boomerang shaped dull metallic object about three metres-five across moving right to left extremely fast about two or three metres above the sea which was pretty calm. It was completely silent and had a straight trajectory and did not alter height.
We only saw it for four-five seconds as it crossed our field of view between the two headlands but it was difficult to explain having just recently gauged the speed and sound of the jetski. It certainly wasn't a bird or anything else I could explain immediately.'

On a camping trip three friends saw they first thought to be a shooting star. However this object moved left slowly, sped up, then stopped. It moved up and down a few times, then sped up again. It slowly grew darker and smaller, as though moving further away.
Witness reported the sighting, which lasted around 20 seconds, to NUFORC on Saturday 16th June 2007:
"A white star-like object flew oddly over Llanelli, South Wales, UK before disappearing. 6 of us were camping on a field near mine and 2 other's houses. While 3 of us were asleep, me and my 2 other friends lay awake talking. The tent was a 6 man tent with two wings, both having a sloping roof with a window. I happened to glance out of the window at around 1:00 AM, that is not exact but it is between 1:00 and 2:00. I saw a star, a bright star. I brought myself closer to the window, and my two friends neared also. The star was moving. At first it looked like a meteorite or shooting star, but they are both short-lived in the atmosphere but this light stayed longer. It started to move left slowly, then it sped up, then it stopped. Then it moved up and down fast a few times, then sped up again. Then slowly it grew darker and smaller, as if it was moving away from us. Then it disappeared."

Witness and their friend were sitting on a stair railing at a Porthcawl beach, watching the sea. They looked up and saw an approaching light they initially took to be a helicopter. As it got closer it became big and bright, made no sound, and was leaving a trail. Suddenly 'it zoomed really high in a diagonal direction and just stayed in the sky like a star.'
Me and my friend were sitting on a stair railing at the beach in Porthcawl (South Wales), watching the waves out at sea while it started to get dark. I looked up and I could see a bright light coming over from the far distance, heading towards the sea remaining at similar height, (was flying about helicopter height).
At first I thought it was a helicopter but as it came nearer the light got really, really bright and the shape became bigger. My friend was seeing exactly the same as me, it was travelling really slow and something was like travelling just behind it then all of a sudden it zoomed really high in a diagonal direction and just stayed in the sky like a star.
We just couldn't believe what we had seen, it made no noise and we tried taking pictures of it but it was so small in the sky it just looked like a star. We hung around a bit and we were both shaken up.
We rang family and friends etc, some made a joke about it and some believed us but you just had to be there to witness it. It just stayed there almost all night until we went home. It was too bright to see the shape of the object.

Wednesday July 18th
Witness reported the sighting to MUFON on Thursday 15th June 2017:
"I was running with my dad and we looked above us and we saw a rectangled shape ufo and it was hovering above a power station it hovered for about 2 minutes and we didnt no who to call so we did not ring anybody and the next day it was in all the papers in the uk.The ufo just vanished."
Multiple witnesses saw strange lights in the sky over Wrexham.
Leigh and Lynn Williams, of Borras, caught sight of several strange orange orbs in the sky in July. The couple also managed to take a video of the strange sighting, which was posted on the Evening Leader website and was the subject of much public debate. Some posters, and UFO experts who spoke to the Leader, felt the incident merited further investigation, while others dismissed the sighting as being the result of Chinese lanterns.
Speaking at the time, Lynn said: "There were seven lights flying fast over the house. Two of them were flying round each other. They were flying very close together, closer than planes. They were going so fast we couldn't focus on them."
Leigh added: "There was no noise whatsoever. Surely if they were aircraft there would have been lots of noise. My wife was panicking. We just want to know what it was. When they went over it happened so quick. They moved very smoothly and were glowing."
Residents from Borras, Gwersyllt, Caergwrle and Acton said they also saw the lights and cannot explain them. Readers have posted comments suggesting the shape was a cigarette end or a street light. One person believes the video was staged with a lazer pen on a black carpet. Another Borras resident said they could remember a series of UFO sightings over Borras Airfield 20 years ago, mentioning they had seen green lights similar to the ones in the video over the bypass a year ago.
A worker from Acton, who posted a comment on our website, said: "I am a patrol and response officer for the wrexham area and saw these lights while I was attending an alarm call at Acton school. These, to my belief, are unexplained. There is no way this was a hoax, as I would not have seen them from Acton area if they were. In addition, they were very high up in the air and there's no way anyone can control anything from that distance. There were several 'floating' in the sky in a pack, at first I thought they were helicopters or similar, however there was no sound what so ever! Very strange and I would identify these as an unidentified flying objects. (Not saying they were aliens but definitely unexplainable).
Russell Callaghan, editor of UFO DATA Magazine, said:
"They are probably paper lanterns or homemade air balloons. There is no control over their flight and they are quite dangerous. The speed could be explained by them blowing on the wind. They are often tied together in groups, which explains them moving around each other and travelling at the same speed. The orange glow gives it away. There are reports week in week out somewhere in the country.
On the video we see one out of focus blob of light 'orange' and like the web comments suggest it could be street light orange or cigarette, personally I'll stand by my original suggestion this was a paper flying lantern. There are many strange events on record associated with the UFO subject and many that warrant serious research, unfortunately this is not one of those.
UFO DATA Magazine would never condone the use of these lanterns as they pose a serious fire threat to the general public and suggest they should not be on sale anywhere."
Sky lanterns have since been banned in Wales (at least on council owned land...) but as UFO explanations go they're basically the 2000s answer to the 90s disco laser lights! Undoubtedly ubiquitous, but also called on to explain away everything from low flying saucers to abduction experiences.

"Date is guessed but sighting was 2007. I lived on the top floor of Swansea road flats and me and a friend was sitting in the window looking down into the Cefn Valley when we spotted a odd red glowing ball of light just flying up and down the valley and it was moving in such a fast and sometimes erratic manner there is no way could it have been an helicopter or plane of any kind, it was a beautiful late evening were you couldn't hear a sound and the thing we seen didn't make any sound at all it past up and down the valley about 4 or 5 times then just vanished and it as puzzled us to this day."

Tuesday September 4th
Witness was sat in their garden, looked up, and saw a large white sphere that seemed to stop in mid air. It proceeded to change shape, change direction, and travel at very high speed. Witness reported their sighting, which lasted around a minute, later the same day:
"sphere flew overhead stopped manouvered at impossible speed changed shape and left at high speedi was sat in my garden when i looked up and saw a large white sphere that seemed to stop in mid air fly in a zig-zag in the same position rotate and change shape then leave at at least mach 4 there was no sound and it appeared to be at aircraft cruising height,i lost sight of the craft as it flew towards the sun.this was not a bird or a plane it seemed to stop as i looked at it,wierd.i would say it was very large ,after spotting aircraft in the same area it appeared to be twice the size of a airbus 747 in diameter and the sight of a metallic flash was also apparent as it changed shape (it kinda had a silver ring appear around the centre of it that gave it a saucer like appearence with a upper and lower white dome).i was a seargent in air cadets and know how to identify known aircraft,and having flown myself so i know this wasn`t manually controlled by a human being radio controlled maybe but it was huge!high! and fast!"

Witness and two friends were walking up the dunes on the beach when one spotted what they thought was a satellite. The object then descended to around 30 - 50 feet above them and 'flashed a huge white light' before flying off again. Five more crafts and a large orange orb could be seen in the sky for about 15 minutes. Witness reported the sighting to MUFON on Monday 6th February 2012:
"Me and two friends were walking up the dunes on the beach. Shortly after one friend spotted the first craft and said "is that a satellite?" The craft then proceeded to descend from space to around 30-50 feet above us, flashed a huge white light on us and then flew off into space again. Another 5 crafts could be seen in space with the original craft appearing in random locations then following each other on the same flight course. A large Orange orb appeared on the horizon about the same size as a full moon and hung there for about 15 min. Another star on the horizon started to pulsate growing in size as large as a full moon and contracting into near invisibility. The crafts were all headed on a tangent towards the pulsating craft on the horizon and as we were watching that the other orange orb had vanished."

Grosmont
Pete Broberg, (48) saw three white lights flashing in an isosceles triangle formation, which he compared in equal size to the surrounding stars. They were first observed to the south at a 2 o'clock position in the clear sky, and travelled northwards, remaining at an elevation of 45 degrees. They then faded out at 11 o'clock position.
Pete explained that, at arm's length, two of the lights were one finger's width apart and the trailing light was at two fingers' width from them.
Sunday September 23rd
Llangollen / Wrexham
Witness' girlfriend Lisa spotted 11 lights in the sky. Witness looked and also saw the orange white lights. They felt confident they were not helicopters or planes as there were too many in what seemed like single file.
Witness reported the sighting, which lasted three to four minutes, to NUFORC on Monday 24th September 2007:
"no planes or helicoptors in the area not 11 in row thats for sure & the lights diffrent colour to planes & helicoptors11 lights were spotted by my girl friend Lisa one after anther she then told me to look me Pete & then I seen the orange white lights at cefn mawr near Wrexham & llangollen north wales, years ago planes & helicoptors used to fly past but 15 or 16 years ago its all stopped you get 3 at the most now so this shows ufo were in the area clearly at the time, they were heading slowly like in line one after anther the 11 ufo lights sighted north wales united kingdom"
Caerau, Llynfi Valley
One day in the early autumn of 2007, brothers, David and Andrew were walking around the hills to the east of Caerau and Croeserw in the Llynfi Valley, taking random photographs. One photo showed a large, dark disc over the Afan Valley in the north west, in the same area as the sighting that David had witnessed with around 20 of his school friends in 1983. David and Andrew did not notice anything when taking the photo, but there it was on the image. They sent the image to Alien Disclosure Group UK who analysed and enhanced it, to reveal the dark disc in greater clarity.
Near Bognor
The press claimed that two RAF fighters were scrambled to investigate a UFO.
Enquiry sent to Des Browne MP, then Secretary of State for Defence, on November 23rd 2007.
Forwarded to MOD who replied on December 4th with an unequivocal: "I can confirm that no aircraft were launched to investigate this matter." They further explained that it would be an inappropriate use of defence resources.
October 6th, 16:20
Margaret Fry saw a UFO which appeared 5 to 6 times longer than a jet. She reported it to SUFOG magazine, December 2007:
I saw a UFO on the 6th October 2007, at 4.20 p.m. Ron (Her Husband) and I went to Slaters Maintenance Shop opposite our house to get a battery for his Rover car key. The mechanic went into the office to get it.
It was a clear blue sky - no clouds at all - warm - I looked up and thought "just the day to see a UFO" and there it was, in a mist, shape difficult to define, about 5 - 6 times longer than a jet (about 25,000 feet may be?) anyway it was high up and I was looking up as the mechanic came with the key and change.
I paid no attention, so he looked up, said "Space Ship" and walked off into the maintenance shop. (Was he being facetious?) Anyway, I thought it will disappear - then I'm certain, & it did in a clear blue sky they fly quite differently to our aeroplanes which cut through air, these glide like fish in water, like it's their natural environment.
This happened above Abergele Market Street the Main Road, I was standing in the court yard.

Pontypridd, Mid-Glamorgan
An object which had all these different lights. When the lights flashed, they looked like they were different shapes. Then both ends of the object started to flash. (Seen in Nov 2007 and message taken 3 Jan 2008).
Bryn, Port Talbot
Two clusters of amber/orange and white lights in triangular formations. They travelled horizontally in a North Westerly direction. They moved like a cork that was bobbing on water. SUFON's Emlyn Williams interviewed the witness on October 24th 2015:
9.30 / 10 PM. David was with his wife and were driving from Maesteg with their 4 year-old daughter after having picked up David's mother, brother Andrew and sister to stay with them in Pontarddulais. They had just passed the village of Bryn on the B4282, heading west and his passengers in the car suddenly said, "Look at the lights!"
David couldn't see anything at first, so pulled the car in near a side farm track. All got out of the car and looked up. They saw two very large, low-flying, triangular formations of lights. Each triangle was formed of three amber lights, one at each corner, with a cluster of red and white lights in the centre of each triangle. There was one flashing light in each of the two triangles, but more noticeable in the front one, which was ahead of the other, and staggered in formation. The amber lights weren't bright and there were no beams coming out, more like a glow.
As they flew over, the front one 'dipped its wings' like a plane would, and as it did so, one light went out view. The two objects had come over the mountain from the south on their left, moving slowly in a straight, level profile. They headed north over the Afan Valley towards Neath, taking about five minutes to go out of sight. There was no sound at all coming from the objects. A car went past them while they were viewing the objects. Everyone was staggered and talked about it for the rest of the evening.
Tuesday December 11th, 17:00
Just three weeks ago, Martin Dupres and two friends had a close encounter when they saw a strange light. Martin, 43, of Riverside, Cardiff, said: "I saw an extremely bright light come straight across the sky. Then it faded out but it might have sped up. It wasn't a satellite or an aeroplane. This thing was not like that. The light shone towards my eyes then carried on. I'm curious, I've never seen anything like it before."

Mr Harry Hughes of Grays Road, Mynydd Isa, was returning extra chairs to the shed when he looked up and 'saw what looked like five bright orangey-red fireballs flying through the sky, coming from the Bodfari direction. They were travelling quite fast, about 10 - 12 seconds apart and were revolving. They were travelling too fast to be aircraft and were completely silent.'
Harry called to his wife, Pam, to come look. As she stepped into the garden the objects changed direction, from west to north. Pam observed them through binoculars, watching the last object stop momentarily before moving off in a northerly direction.
Harry said: "They moved very smoothly and were glowing. I have no idea what these lights were, but I really glad that I have seen something like this and I am glad my wife is able to verify that they were totally unexplained. I'll be looking out for more over the next few days. I'm just sorry we weren't able to get a picture or a video of them, but there wasn't enough time."
When the story was published in the local papers (Flintshire Standard and Wrexham Evening Leader), more witnesses came forward -
Marie Davies, of Chester Road in Mold, was driving from Holywell to Hakyn when she saw a red light low in the sky at about 19:00. "At first I thought it was the moon but it was too low in the sky. It was flame red and it was standing still over the Dee Estuary way. I couldn't believe my eyes. I would like to see it again. I don't drink so it wasn't that. There was no way it was an aeroplane. It was very weird."
Mrs Coulton, of Mold, said her family were left perplexed after seeing orange coloured lights in the sky. "The light was a fair way off, it was coming towards us then stopped, went backwards, stayed still for about four or five minutes, then faded away. It was really strange. It was definitely there, was not a firework, star, helicopter, or plane. We really don't know what it was."
David Clark of Elwy Close, Bryn y Baal, said Harry Hughes' report was correct. "It is absolutely true what he says. There were three very bright lights which suddenly separated and one looked like it shot straight up at high speed. At first we thought they were balloons or planes but they were going too fast and didn't look like planes. There was no noise whatsoever and they were going so fast. I have never seen anything like it before."
December ('after Christmas')
Llanishen, Cardiff
Early one evening after Christmas, low - broken cloud. The witness, living in Llanishen, Cardiff, went for a smoke out the back garden. Looking up in a northerly direction, the witness saw what was at first thought, a meteor, but was flying low and of an odd shape - which the witness compared to two boater hats glued together, but the rim was not as large.
It was an opaque white but the contours were a very bright white. It was heading 'hell for leather' in an east-west direction, and due to the low clouds that evening must have been low to have been seen. The witness said it was huge, and left some sort of vapour trail behind it (short and white) which disappeared as soon as the object went into cloud. (SUFON summary)

"Ultra-hot Jupiter" exoplanet where iron turns to gas discovered
By David Szondy
"Ultra-hot Jupiter" exoplanet ...
Artist's impression of Wasp-189 and Wasp-189 b
Light curves of Wasp-189
Parmeters of Wasp-189 and Wasp-189 b
The first results from ESA's Characterising Exoplanet Satellite (Cheops) exoplanet mission has revealed one of the hottest and most extreme planets orbiting another star. Located 322 light years away in the constellation of Libra, WASP-189 b is an ultra-hot Jupiter with a temperature so high that iron boils into a gas.
According to NASA, over 4,000 exoplanets have been discovered and confirmed, with many thousands more candidates awaiting confirmation. This has not only altered many of our ideas about the number of planetary systems in our galaxy, but also demonstrated that there are many very strange exoplanets out there.
A case in point is Wasp-189 b, which was observed by Cheops when it began operations in January 2020. It used two methods to learn more about the planet's characteristics. The first, and most common tool used in exoplanet hunting and study, involved looking at how the light curve of a star dipped as the planet passed in front of it. To this, Cheops added analyzing the change in the light curve as the planet moved behind the star.
The combination of these two methods allowed scientists to deduce the size, shape, and orbital characteristics of Wasp-189 b. It turns out that the planet is 1.6 times the size of Jupiter and is 20 times closer to its star, which it orbits once every 2.7 days, than the Earth is to the Sun. The star, in turn, is a very young, very hot one that glows blue, is only 730 million years old, is 2.4 times wider than the Sun, and spins so fast that it is flattened at the poles.
The star is also 2,200 °C (3,960 °F) hotter than the Sun and the planet Wasp-189 b has a temperature of 3,200 °C (5,790 °F). By comparison, the boiling point of iron is 2,862 °C (5.184 °F), which means that metals like iron melt and become gas on the planet.
In addition to its high temperature, Wasp-189 b is also unusual in that it isn't orbiting close to its star's equator. Instead, it is at an angle that reaches almost to the poles. This suggests that the planet's orbit was altered by a close encounter with another planet or star, much in the same way that Jupiter influences the orbits of various bodies in the solar system.
"Cheops has a unique 'follow-up' role to play in studying such exoplanets," says Kate Isaak, Cheops project scientist at ESA. "It will search for transits of planets that have been discovered from the ground, and, where possible, will more precisely measure the sizes of planets already known to transit their host stars. By tracking exoplanets on their orbits with Cheops, we can make a first-step characterization of their atmospheres and determine the presence and properties of any clouds present."
The research was published in Astronomy & Astrophysics.

This is my new K'nex coaster, Ventus.
The Ventus were the Greek Gods of wind, which is the style this coaster has.
Within 3 months I builded this coaster, which is an Eurofighter with many crazy elements. It has some 'original' elements, new style elements and own elements. This is one of the first Micro K'nex coasters to feature full theming.
How did you get the micro to hold up so well??!
Where can I find that contest?
Can you connect more than one roller coaster car together?
I can't, since that contest started after my coaster was published.
Already saw this on SScoasters but still EPIC! Very well Done mate!
Thanks! How's Superman Escape going?
Very annoyingly... The turn uses up too much speed... I will be posting an update tonight.

The 2022 College Football Playoff Semifinals delivered a bevy of record-breaking viewership and history-making moments, securing the most-watched non-New Year's Day Semifinals on record now with final Nielsen viewership figures. Across both of ESPN's MegaCast presentations, the two games averaged 22.1 million viewers and 7.6 million P18-49 viewers on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU. The audience is the best in the past five years and becomes the third-most watched Semifinals in the CFP era.
The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl and Vrbo Fiesta Bowl are the two most-viewed individual Semifinals since the 2017-18 season and now rank as the fourth and fifth best, respectively. Both games are among the top five non-NFL telecasts on broadcast or cable since the start of 2022, and reached more than 42 million total viewers between them, 11 percent year-over-year growth. The audience finished up 30 percent among P2+ viewers and 29 percent among P18-49 viewers over 2021. The pair of Semifinal games attracted a 34.4 P2+ and 46.8 P18-49 share across the two games, the highest for both demos in the CFP era.
The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl secured 22.4 million viewers, the most-watched primetime CFP Semifinal since Year 1 and a top 20 cable telecast of all time. It's the best non-NFL telecast across broadcast or cable since last year's CFP National Championship, and peaked just before halftime (9:45-10 p.m. ET) with 24.3 million viewers. It notched 7.9 million P18-49 viewers as Georgia clinched its spot in the program's second consecutive national title game.
The Vrbo Fiesta Bowl scored 21.7 million viewers to become the third-most watched afternoon CFP Semifinal of the CFP era. The Michigan-TCU matchup peaked with 26.9 million viewers as TCU upset Michigan in the game's closing minutes. The Big Ten-Big 12 battle brought in 7.3 million P18-49 viewers, and half of all P18-49 viewers watching television during this game were tuned into the action. With a 36.1 P2+ share and 50.3 P18-49 share, the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl registered the highest share of any CFP Semifinal or Championship on record.
Additional New Year's Six Superlatives:

With any new establishment, there are always numerous pros and cons concerning its effectiveness and efficiency as a workplace. Here are a few pros to recognize when considering moving your work to a coworking space.
Independent professionals are the foundation of these spaces; working without defined management is expected. Learning how to best maintain your time is crucial to your success in these coworking spaces. By developing this skill, your efficiency within these organizations will not only improve, but your time management skills within any capacity will as well.
Unlike a traditional office, the atmosphere of coworking spaces are often more laid-back and easygoing. And with the independence to work freely, the overall environment leads to a far less stressful workplace. Depending on your profession, a coworking space offers an open area with no harsh deadlines or quotas that traditional spaces may require.
Although coworking spaces still require a professional appearance, the seemingly uptight environment which is often experienced in a traditional office is not present within these spaces. With a greater emphasis on communication and collaboration, a more casual atmosphere is far more prevalent within coworking.
One of the major perks of coworking spaces is what makes them a truly unique option is the networking opportunities it brings about. The collaborative environment offers people the experience to work together to inspire and brainstorm ideas to better help you thrive in your profession. Aside from the work itself, being amongst a group of other professionals not only helps you meet and associate with relevant people, but it creates a strong community of like-minded professionals.
Even with the membership fees and taxed supplies, working within these spaces is significantly cheaper then owning or renting another office space. With the exception of working from home, the fees of these spaces are less of a financial commitment as the lease of renting a traditional office space.

Here's a travel tip for you: if you drive about 30 kilometers west of downtown Shanghai, past low concrete factories coughing out smoke and high-rises looming over the city like yellowed storm troopers, you'll hit England.
It's not technically Her Majesty's terrain, but drop an Eton boy there and he'd never guess it's not his home turf. Meandering cobblestone streets are lined with squat, three- and four-story townhouses in a smattering of styles. There's a Tudor building here, a half-timbered one there, a brick façade just beyond, and, rising above them all, the spire of a Gothic cathedral that's a spitting image of the Christ Church in Bristol. Statues of illustrious British icons, including Winston Churchill and Harry Potter, keep a watchful eye over well-kempt lawns and tidy rows of trees, while security guards bustle about in the red uniforms of Buckingham Palace Foot Guards. Like in many European cities, there are tourists snapping pictures of the landmarks and historic buildings. A smattering of pubs, cafes, and snack shops standing at the ready to quench their thirst.
This is Thames Town, where you're invited to "taste [the] original British style of small town." Conceived, constructed, and sponsored to the tune of around half a billion dollars by the Shanghai government, Thames Town is one of hundreds of communities that make up China's massive movement in architectural mimicry, or "duplitecture." In the suburbs of China's megalopolises, larger cities, and even smaller towns in provinces throughout the country, developers are building enormous residential developments that replicate the towns and cities of the United States and Europe down to the most devilish details.
Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, is home a residential complex for nearly two hundred thousand that is the twin of Dorchester, England, from its Poole Promenade to the cobblestone paving. In the Yangtze River Delta, a 108-meter replica of the Eiffel Tower graces Champs Elysées Square in what has been branded the "Oriental Paris," a faithful reconstruction of the City of Light that includes white Haussmannian apartments—shutters, wrought iron balconies and all. Not far away, Venice Water Town boasts doubles of Saint Mark´s Square and the Doge´s Palace edging up against manmade canals crisscrossed by gondoliers. Manhattan, Hallstatt, Amsterdam, Orange County, Beverly Hills, and the White House have all been doubled, often by Chinese architects who have studied the originals first-hand abroad.
In tracts recently occupied by collective farms, upwardly-mobile Chinese go through the familiar paces of life in unfamiliar settings. These duplitecture developments are, after all, no theme parks: what distinguishes the Chinese towns from Disneyland or Las Vegas is that the suspension of disbelief is temporary in the latter and permanent in the former. For theme park visitors, the escapist unreality the imagineered landscapes provide ends as soon as they leave the park. For the Chinese residents of these themed enclaves, the fantasy is lived—daily, monthly, yearly.
A closer investigation of Thames Town and its ilk reveals, paradoxically, that in the way it copies the West, China's duplitecture manifests a tremendous originality.
Though the forms of these replicas are old, the Chinese have appropriated these historic models to convey entirely new ideas and serve distinct uses these buildings never had before. The recreation of these structures—as familiar as they are—on China's soil transforms their meaning and turns them into something else that is distinctively their own, and fully original. A copied White House in China is less a symbol of American power or celebration of democratic ideals. Instead, it has been co-opted as a testament to China's strength and achievements.
China's architectural mimicry also challenges the view of replication as something abhorrent and taboo, suggesting ways that imitation can lead to novel outcomes and concepts. The nation's fondness for architectural replicas can help us understand copying as a source of creativity and ideas, as these copycat communities show signs of being a springboard for invention.
Other cultures, including the United States, have been avid copycats at points in their own history. Yet China's replicas are firsts in their own right: no nation has replicated at the same speed or scale, while also pulling from cultures so far afield from their own. In the United States, for example, architectural knockoffs (built by the founding fathers and straight through to the present day) have been based on Anglo-Saxon (British Tudor, Queen Anne, Gothic), Mediterranean, or Teutonic models. These are the architectural styles and morphologies of peoples who share the same geocultural genealogy. In China, the dominant target of appropriation for residential enclaves is a geopolitically, temporally, and culturally alien civilization.
Another distinctive feature is the sheer number of these "alien" landscapes and the proportion of the total new housing stock that they represent. Where other nations—India, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), or Japan, for instance—may have only a handful of themed developments for the ultra rich, China has billions of square feet dedicated to such projects, some already completed and others under construction, offered in a range of price-points that make ownership accessible to the increasingly economically nuanced emerging middle class. Fueled by rapid economic growth, a population of over 1.3 billion, and a muscular government apparatus, China's importation of "prestige" historical architecture from the West is occurring on an unprecedented scale.
In its present iteration, the originality of these landscapes consists also in the novel circumstances of the historical moment in which this architectural mimicry is occurring. Specifically, China is seeking to reposition itself within a dynamically changing world in which forces of economic interrelation, environmental degradation, and technological advance are accelerating global interdependence; redrawing the balance of power among the super-powers; and redefining notions of economic and political superiority. The technology available to China for copying alien lifestyles sets it apart: it has the mechanical and infrastructural capability to create cities virtually overnight. It also has the financial resources to underwrite massive housing projects, recruit foreign consultants, and import expensive materials. It has a powerful government able and willing to support urban planning projects of extraordinary scales. And it has a client base for these developments—a growing middle class that includes a population of between 100 million and 247 million consumers and that is projected to encompass 40 percent of China's total population by 2020.
Though on the surface these duplitecture developments look Western through-and-through, they are also manifestations of a uniquely Chinese view of replication that has its roots in traditional philosophical systems. The ontological status and value of the copy in China differ substantively from corresponding Western notions. The West, obsessed with the question of primacy, has largely embraced the original as legitimate and connoting technological supremacy, while rejecting the copy as inferior, tainted, and subversive. By contrast, copies have traditionally occupied a far more nuanced status in China: though originality is prized, replication is not only permitted, but has historically been praised as testament to cultural and technological achievement.
This cultural esteem for the copy, which has helped foster a permissive climate for such copycat constructions, is rooted in the cyclical imperial worldview, in Zen cosmology, and in imperial politics. In pre-modern China, for example, copies were the en vogue status symbols of the day. China's rulers relied on replicas to broadcast their strength, creating enormous hunting parks that assembled imported plants and rocks to mimic the landscapes of well-known locales. These leaders hoped to show they were so mighty, they could move heaven and earth at their command. China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, even commemorated his conquest of six rival kingdoms by building replicas of their palaces within his own capital city.
Moreover, the replication of Western cityscapes acts as a signifier of the nation's advanced state of development, made manifest through its ability to replicate Western landscapes, technology, and forms. The knowledge and familiarity with the West implied in the construction of historical architectural types—Versailles, Venice, and ye-olde-England—offers testament to China's erudition and thorough understanding of the "other." In this ability to master the technology, design, and order of the West, the architecture fulfills a symbolic function as a sign of parity (economic, cultural, and social) with the top Western competitors.
But there are more pragmatic drivers of this movement as well. China has embraced imitation in the hopes that it will lead to innovation, and already, there are signs this strategy is succeeding.
Chinese officials involved in the support and sponsorship of China's duplitecture maintain that by copying Western models, China gains experience and expertise in Western construction and design that allows it to advance more quickly. Consider the Shanghai Urban Planning Bureau's rationale for the European style of the "One City, Nine Towns" plan, a 2001 government initiative that erected ten European-style towns, including Thames Town, around the metropolis. The government officials stressed the opportunity to learn from international experience and use it to China's advantage in much the same way that Western intellectual property is being appropriated as it relates to manufacturing smartphones, or pharmaceuticals. The planning memorandum on the development of Shanghai notes, "As we enter the twenty-first century, we must draw on the successful expertise of foreign nations to achieve a high-quality planning model, high-quality construction, and a high level of efficiency, constructing several types of towns, each in a unique style." The bureau even proposed offering financial subsidies to lure foreign architects and planners into the building and design processes.
This strategy of seeking out the best achievements of alien cultures and applying them, through selective adaptation, to meet domestic needs and to solve domestic problems has characterized China's approach to technological change in the past. The Chinese have "eagerly acquired all the technical discoveries of the foreigners," observed Johan Gunnar Andersson during his travels to China in 1928. Xing Ruan, professor of architecture at the University of New South Wales, points out that the tendency to embrace the skills of outsiders when they stand to benefit China runs deep in the nation´s history and forms a part of its cultural character. "The Chinese basically have no problem with accepting something 'alien,' 'exotic,' or 'Western' if these things are considered to be at the 'center of the cosmos.' These days, we're talking about Western civilization and the Western image as being the representation of that," Ruan says. The architecture and engineering of the developed world are seen as promising solutions to China's rapid urbanization and thus have been both studied and emulated by local developers and architects. By importing the "hard skills" of Western urban planners, designers, business people, and engineers, the Chinese are betting that the experience of foreign experts and the replication of globally acknowledged jewels of urban design will bring about the nation's rapid transformation into a global leader and will ensure the continuation of its "peaceful rise." This is learning by doing at its most massive.
China's duplitecture shows signs of being a stage in the nation's transition from imitative to innovative, and may even accelerate this progression. Already, there is originality even in these copycat landscapes. The ingenuity required to create credible copies of Venice or Paris is impressive. In constructing a British hamlet like Thames Town, the Chinese architects actually developed novel processes and approaches to build something that appears old. Beneath their brick and half-timbered exteriors, the buildings of Thames Town actually hew to a more Brutalist style: they were not made of the traditional materials English architects would have used, but created from cast concrete. Neither do the homes completely disassociate from their home turf. Elements of traditional Chinese vernacular architecture have been incorporated even in places like "Majesty Manor," "Palais de Fortune," and "Blue Cambridge." It's not unusual to find Baroque or Beaux-Arts exteriors on homes with interior courtyards, deep consideration for fengshui, and surrounded by classical Chinese gardens.
Numerous other artistic fields, from painting and poetry to jazz composition and fashion design, have relied heavily on imitation as a form of inspiration that stimulates new ideas and forms. So why not architecture? It may not be typical for architects and planners to copy their way to creativity the way an aspiring painter sketches the masters to hone his style. But perhaps that is only because no other nation has been able to erect, experiment with, and copy buildings at the rate of China, with its deep pockets and plentiful labor. In this sense too, the duplitecture represents a novel undertaking. China has the opportunity to play with architecture the way musicians sample music, or technology companies try copying their way to market dominance. The ultimate result of the copycat binge could well be a distinctive, creative architectural language that is all China's. Or maybe we're looking at it: probing deeper into China's duplitecture reveals an original undertaking that, in a plethora of ways, is the first of its kind.

IMPORTANT UPDATE! (July 2018)
According to, Christopher Gerrard, Pam Graves, Andrew Millard, Richard Annis, and Anwen Caffell, in, Lost Lives, New Voices: Unlocking the Stories of the Scottish Soldiers at the Battle of Dunbar 1650, (England: Oxbow Books, 2018), on page 254, Thomas is categorized as:
Possible [that he is a Dunbar prisoner transported on the Unity]
Nock/Knox, Thomas. Residences: Dover NH. Appears: 1657. D.1666. Appears with other Scots at Dover. [Exiles]
1. THOMAS NOCK/KNOX, born, possibly in Scotland and died on 29 Oct 1666, from an accident. He married, REBECCA TIBBETS.
Biographical Notes:
On 09 Oct 2018, Dr. Andrew Millard wrote, "The date of the 1652 grant was doubted by Stackpole in his Scotch Exiles typescript (see attached page) where he said "the last figure is very indistinct and doubtful. It may be 1656 or later." Have you managed to see the original of this grant? If that date is not certain, then all are agreed he had a land grant was in 1657, but there is another indication he was there slightly earlier. Both the Tibbetts and the Knox books says Thomas's son Thomas jr. made a will on 15 Feb 1676, though Stackpole says 15 Sep 1676. An image of this will ought to be on Ancestryhttps://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=8996, but I don't have a subscription to US records. Ancestry have transcribed the month as February. Sylvanus, another son, was taxed in 1677 according to the Tibbetts book and Stackpole. They must have been 21 to make a will and be taxed, placing their births in or before 1655 and 1656. Sylvanus was apprenticed in 1670 according to the Tibbetts book, which conventionally would have happened at the age of 14. Although age at apprenticeship did vary, this would fit with a c.1656 birth. If the 1652 date is correct I agree he is unlikely to be a SPOW, but if he first appears in 1655-56, in a place where there were a number of SPOWs, then I'd still consider him to fall in the possible category. The key thing is the date on that first land grant, for which the original or a good image of it needs to be consulted."

Dutch innovation at its greatest: The "Tesla of eco-villages"
If you know anything about the Dutch, it's that they are incredibly innovative and creative when it comes to where and how they live. This story is no exception.
Just outside of Amsterdam in an area called Almere, a new neighbourhood is being constructed. One where you can gather your eggs from the chicken coop, pick your veggies from the greenhouse attached to your house and easily compost all your waste. Sounds like a natural kind of life, doesn't it, and one that is appealing to more and more people as the world's resources become stretched and the future unpredictable.
ReGen Villages, a real estate development company, have a vision to create small, self-sufficient communities around the world, and this will be their first one, aiming to be completed in 2018.
"Regenerative means systems where the output of one system can actually be the input of another," says ReGen's founder, James Ehrlich.
So how does it work? Here is what they say.
"In ReGen villages, household food waste is composted and fed to flies, which in turn feeds fish, which then fertilizes aquaponic gardens (multi-layered systems that combine fish farming and hydroponic agriculture, with plant roots submerged in nutrient-rich solution rather than soil). Those aquaponic farms grow produce for residents to eat, as do seasonal gardens, which are be fertilised by waste from livestock raised to feed residents. Rainwater is harvested and filtered for use in the farms and gardens, and on-site solar panels power the homes."
"Each completed village will house 100 families on about 50 acres. Each family's house will have an attached greenhouse for growing personal crops, and the village's communal farms and livestock will be managed and run by ReGen staff. Individuals can pitch in their labour as a way to lower the monthly fees homeowners pay on top of their mortgages. (In the Almere community, Ehrlich expects that cost to be around $560.)"
"It's this concept that the way you look at a subdivision is edible, so you walk through the path and there's berries and fruit trees and nuts and spices and all kinds of things to enjoy," Ehrlich says. "We don't do lawns, we don't do golf courses or tennis courts. That's a good place to grow food, so we're going to grow food there."
They're referring to this as the "Tesla of eco-villages" because it will allow people to live off-grid, but not without the benefits of technology as we can utilise it today.
"The villages will also use sensors and technology to monitor energy use, farming efficiency, and living patterns, and send that data to the cloud so villages in similar geographic regions can learn from each other. The strategy is similar to the way Tesla uses machine learning to analyse data gathered from the autopilot systems in its cars."
