Top airline flying Sudbury to Québec City
Pros: "Just the crews"
Cons: "I feel the options when the flights didn't work out could be much better and the managers could be more helpful with finding accommodations. For example my flight was canceled the young lady behind the counter was more helpful than the manager when exploring options to get me on my way to Sudbury in which I had to catch the bus which was fine but to get to that conclusion took forever they provided a ride to the station and thats it"
Cons: "There were several announcements to download the Air Canada app in order to access in flight entertainment. They must have been 5-6 announcements about this. WiFi access was to start after take off in order to use the app. but was never available."
Pros: "New airbus 350-390 are worst than older planes. Economic class space is even smaller now, no storage space for the last few rows"
Cons: "Last 3-5 central rows in economy class have no space for carryons. On top of that, at arrival we realized they have lost our bagage, all 6, so we're left with carryons. This may be our very last trip with Lufthansa."
Cons: "2,5 hours delayed. Econ seats are tiny with zero legroom."
Pros: "Crew was friendly and helpful on a very full airplane. They did their best to check on connections to let us know if we were going to miss our flights or not."
Cons: "Flight was delayed nearly an hour causing a very tight connection in Calgary."
Cons: "2h delay because of technical issues"
Pros: "Comfortable and clean seating. Good leg room. Complimentary beverage and snack. In-flight entertainment for a short leg is appreciated. Ear phones provided."
Cons: "Every time I fly with Air Canada there seems to be a problem. Either the flight is delayed or it is overbooked. Generally I try to avoid flying with this airline if possible."
Pros: "Flight went extremely smooth. No issues during the layover they even got us an earlier flight to our layover destination, giving us more time between flights."
Pros: "The passengers, the Brussels airport retail area, 1 of the flight attendants who was polite and welcoming, and the entertainment selections. Finally being connected to Swiss staff."
Cons: "The crew was not very welcoming and was borderline rude when I asked any sort of question such as why I was not allowed to wear my headphones prior to take off. I was patient in not wearing them, but could not relaxing into the trip for the 40+ minutes we remained on the ground mostly not moving. I was tired when boarding and fumbled with my documents and was very curtly told to just hand them over. Another time I accidentally mistook headphones the stewardess was handing out for something else. I took a pair and then immediately gave them back with an apology that I didn't realise what they were, but thanked her anyway. This was met with a scowl and a bit of opposition. There was one stewardess that was very nice and accommodating out of the entire crew. On top of this the toilet seat on the plane was broken, so it fell on you when you were trying to go to the bathroom, and the soap dispenser was broken. I didn't dare mention these things to the flight crew though. The plane was late taking off from Montreal, and so was late landing in Brussels. No effort was made to provide connections assistance, or provide directions on where to go to rebook our missed connections. I and all others traveling to Zurich spent the entire morning trying to find anyone from Air Canada to help us rebook our flights. We literally were going from desk to desk between two terminals, and consulting each other as we went to limit the amount of leg work we all had to do. We all had to finally leave the terminal area and go to Swissport and stand in a long slow line. By that time any afternoon flight was already overbooked. So I and a group of other passengers were booked for an evening flight which forced me to book a hotel in Zurich because I couldn't get to where I needed to be that evening. After being rebook, I still tried to get on an earlier flight by going directly to the gate. It was confirmed that there was some extra space available, but they would not switch me to the earlier flight because I had a checked bag that I could not separate me from. Ultimately my bag was lost which made me have to stay awake and in the Zurich airport even longer after I finally arrived going from one lost baggage representative to another, and then waiting in another line to finally fill out paperwork because my bag had never been scanned in Brussels. The Zurich representatives were very polite, helpful, and efficient compared to anyone I encountered in Montreal, or Brussels. I was without my bag for 3.5 days of what was supposed to be a 10 day trip. My trip was reduced to 9 days because I spent an entire day in the Brussels airport and then had to spend the night in Zurich. I arrived in Zurich on Saturday night, and received my bag on Tuesday afternoon. All in all it was not a good experience until I got to Switzerland."
Cons: "Sitting on the tarmac for an hour before takeoff Cramped seats No beverage service (supposedly, because of turbulence, although other airlines have not let turbulence stop them from serving food and drink)"
Pros: "One of the flight attendants (potentially a French Canadian or maybe just plain French) was amongst the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life. She was a little mean, but I'm willing to let it slide. In fact, I'm willing to let a lot of the negative things about the flight slide because of her (sorry, got to give credit where credit is due)."
Cons: "Got diarrhea from the waffles. The seats did not recline. No entertainment, but hey, this flight was damn cheap so I'm not complaining! Also, see positives."
Pros: "They got us late to Toronto with my little child and I decided to spend the night in TO. My child has fallen asleep and there ha No way we could make the connection no matter how much I rushed."
Cons: "Small aircraft last min bags check in etc. delayed flights Ground staff in Atlanta is good but in Toronto: very rude"
Pros: "Direct flight"
Cons: "The seats were tired and worn out. I could literally feel the metal bar in my back. They moved the magazines up to above the tray table and took the extra inch out. If there is an accident we are all going to eat magazines. I would rather deal with TSA than Air Canada"
Pros: "Getting off the plane!!!"
Cons: "Everything!!!"
Cons: "Our luggage didn't scan in the system so we couldn't go to the gate until it was found & scanned in the system. Fortunately we were early so this wasn't an issue but kept us waiting at "step 2" until an actual photo could be found. We also had a delay after boarding while they changed a tire. It all worked out ok."
Cons: "there were no complimentary snacks"
Cons: "This review is about Air Canada from Los Angeles to Vancouver. Our flight was cancelled the flight for technical reason, without a notice. We found out when we got to the airport with four children. We were put on a later flight that also left Los Angeles later than the scheduled time. We arrived to Vancouver so late that we could not make the latest BC Ferry to Victoria that left at 9:00 pm. We lost our hotel reservation in Victoria. We were stranded in Vancouver till we could find a hotel that cost us an extra $600 (US dollars), an extra reservation for the ferry and lost a precious half a day of our vacation. When we complained about this wasted time and money Air Canada did not utter not even a clear simple apology. It offered a lousy discount on our next flight with the company, believing that we may ever use such an uncaring company"
Pros: "They had vegan options if you called ahead which was a nice and the flight crew was kind and helpful."
Cons: "There was not enough space unless you sat in the front row."
Pros: "Price!"
Cons: "Poor Customer service! My baggage arrived later on the same day I had arrived..., but I didnlt get it till 2 days later. There were or apology or announcement about the reason of my flight delay (2 hrs). I was told by a customer rep on the phone a few days before ny flight that I didn't need eTA to transit, but I needed it! I had to obtain it at the airport counter on the day of my flight.. I was very close to miss my flight.... Due to the delay, many customers missed connection flights, but there was no clear guidance to where to take care of the matter... I was ery disappointed.."
Pros: "My mother's attendants and the flight crew were very friendly and courteous to her."
Cons: "No information or communication about bringing your own food or snacks on board. No food, snacks,entertainment or immigration forms were available. There was some food for purchase but if you didn't have a credit or debit card then you couldn't buy it. My mother was in a wheelchair waiting to board in Toronto and would have bought food to either eat there or carry on the plane but another passenger was severely reprimanded for getting out of her wheelchair and going to the bathroom, so my mother was intimidated to stay seated and not go to the bathroom nor ask any questions as to if she could go and buy some food or snack to eat while she was waiting. Only juices were served. She was flying since 11 am and arrived at 9:30 pm without any food. The website as well as all emails should inform about luggage weight as well as food and entertainment. On a layover the attendants should be more cooperative with disabled passengers and allow them to use the bathroom as well as to go and buy food."
Pros: "We flew Toronto to Milan"
Cons: "Air canada doesn't know how to run an airline and should stop trying. They are hurting all of their passengers,and they do not care."
Cons: "The entertainment system was down for 45 minutes on the flight from toronto to vancouver, and the air crew didn't seem to be bothered by it until many people complained / asked to move."
Cons: "Delay getting to gate in Toronto. Entertainment system is not top notch. No blockbusters of any kind. Cheesy airline"
Cons: "Super noisy and we left 30 minutes late"
Pros: "The employees recognized our needs, were polite, accommodated easily to french or english, and even told people to clear the boarding area if it wasn't time for their zone to board (a major pet peeve of mine)."
Cons: "No inflight entertainment or food and really small seats. Yeah, you can pay extra for an ipad or to get food, but for most decent flights these days you get at least something to eat for free. Especially on a 7 hour flight from US to CAN. My knees nearly touched the seat in front of me. It wasn't that small of a plane, i just think they really wanted to pack us in. If they removed a row or two and gave everyone just an inch more space how much would that REALLY set them back?"
Pros: "Service and pricing presented a good value to cost ratio"
Cons: "The sound quality of the onboard entertainment is shameful espwcially for thisi day and age. The image quality wasn't great either."
Cons: "Not on time. I missed my connecting flight"
Cons: "See above"
Pros: "Smooth flight."
Cons: "Non-working lavatories (?). It shouldn't happen."
Pros: "Great free movie selection to watch on the flight!"
Cons: "The crew and gate check-in assistance is mediocre. Their attitude is one of indifference. This group is probably just a little better Spirit Airlines, which I consider the worst airline I have ever flown on. Also, I had to pay exorbitant flight change fees. These flight changes should be free. If I have the option, I will not use Air Canada in the future."
Pros: "organized crew & good service"
Cons: "there was no check in luggage with the ticket, I have to pay for both my check in luggage while flying back from Toronto to Saskatoon. Atleast one check in luggage should be there."
Cons: "I was very disappointed that the airline served absolutely no food to passengers for such a long flight. Other airlines serve meals and beverages to their passengers on trans-Atlantic flights. I doubt I will fly Air Canada again for such a flight, due to the lack of interest and care provided the passengers."
Pros: "Friendly airport and flight attendants. Ease of checkin."
Pros: "Got to the airport at the same time as my son, he got on and I didn't. They said the flight was closed by the time i checked in."
Pros: "Was on time"
Cons: "Entertainment console didn't work"
Pros: "The flight arrived early"
Cons: "The chicken dish was terrible and gave me stomach upset"
Cons: "Only in Canada they make you remove headset for takeoff and landing."
Cons: "Everything ! Customer service was terrible , slow non appreciative , all rude , cramped seats , zero snacks provided and less than 3 oz. of water given .. Not worth the money !! Fly united or American"
Pros: "SEATS ARE VERY TIGHT"
Cons: "1. Flight left late. 2. After landing sat on tarmac for 30 minutes waiting for gate. 3. After arriving at gate, had to wait 15 minutes to open door. 4. Poor service assisting me to get to connecting flight on other side of airport."
Pros: "Quick flight with snacks included!!"
Cons: "Cold airplane, but all airplanes are cold and I'm always cold."
Cons: "When I checked in at Ottawa they gave me a ticket for the Toronto to Orlando flight but there was no seat #. They said get it when you are at the gate. They knew all along there would be no seat # ever as they had overbooked by 12 passengers but didn't have the decency to tell me or apologize and explain. I was in line-ups for the 3 1/2 hrs I was in Toronto trying to get a seat and not knowing till the very last minute that I had one. The very back row next to the toilet. I will never recommend to fly Air Canada."
Cons: "I ordered a special lacto-ovo vegetarian meal ahead of time. They said they received the order, but didnt have my food. They said they would do their best but ended up giving me a plate of lettuce and bread. When I asked about the bread having dairy or eggs they said they didnt know, so I had to throw it out."
Pros: "Affordable flight, helpful crew and convenient booking"
Cons: "Somehow meal preference did not get sent to air Canada and being vegetarian I had nothing to eat. The cheap cup noodles and sandwiches with eggs and meat were not an option."
Pros: "The pilots always announced when to expect turbulence and apologized ahead of time; turbulence really wasn't that bad either. In-flight entertainment never cut out, though the options were limited."
Cons: "The intercom that the flight attendant used to speak to the passengers was very quiet, so it was hard to hear what he was saying every time. However, the pilots' intercom was very clear."
Pros: "The crew members were very nice, hospitable and all of them have had professional approach to passengers, me included. I think they were doing their best"
Cons: "Late for everything"

An exploration of the Willamette Falls Legacy Project, which aims to transform and develop the former 22-acre Blue Heron Paper Company mill site just southwest of downtown Oregon City.

As the team has just recently hit week three of the competition, they are still considering themselves within the early prototyping stage. After rigorous brainstorming sessions, Nick's team is currently deciding between two major game ideas. In both games, the audience plays a big part of the plot utilizing their cellphones to control the main characters' outcomes.
Team member and game producer, Mitchell Zasa, explained the importance of accountability within the group. Each teammate has a unique and critical role to make the game's creation possible. Thus, faults in communication can lead to major setbacks within the development process. Mitchell stressed that the internal deadlines and ambitious goal delivery parallel the industry standard.
To guide each team's game development throughout the competition, Ubisoft has devised a team of its own Montreal faculty to mentor the undergrads. The Champlain team's mentors, Jean-Phillips and Manuel, provide necessary guidance about the competition.
In 2018, Ubisoft hired more than 25 competition participants to work at their offices in Montreal, Quebec City, and Saguenay. This is quite a large opportunity for the Champlain team as Ubisoft is the fourth largest publicly-traded game company in the Americas and Europe. In addition, there are a number of scholarships such as Best Technical Challenge and Innovation or Best Creativity and Integration of the Theme which be awarded to the most successful game prototypes. With 7 more weeks left, the Champlain Montreal campus will be busy prepping for the competition of a lifetime.


New research shows that dogs can be trained to detect the malaria parasite in infected individuals using their keen sense of smell. You could screen healthy-looking people who may be carrying the malaria parasite to prevent them from reintroducing the disease to an otherwise "clean" country. He said detection dogs would operate best at ports of entry into countries which eliminated malaria or are close to elimination.
The researchers said the accuracy of the dogs was impressive and they were identifying malaria infected children with lower levels of parasites than required to meet clinical standards for rapid diagnostic tests set by the World Health Organization (WHO).
"Our results suggest that sniffer dogs could be a serious way to make diagnosis of people who don't show any symptoms but are still infectious, quicker and easier", said James Logan, co-author of the study and head of the department of disease control at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
A team of researchers in the United Kingdom announced on Monday the results of their study that shows dogs can scent malaria infected people from their odour.
The dogs sniffed nylon socks worn by 30 children infected with malaria parasites and 145 uninfected children.
Researchers say artificial odor sensors could someday be developed, but for now, trained dogs could be a new resource in the global fight against malaria. Although their research is still in the early stages, they believe trained dogs could someday be used to help diagnose malaria more quickly and prevent it from spreading across national borders.
The new project, presented this week at the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene Annual Meeting, has shown how dogs can be trained to sniff out the scent of malaria.
The smelly footwear arrived at the Medical Detection Dogs charity in Milton Keynes. Since the initial study a third dog, a springer-spaniel called Freya, has also been trained. New approaches would go a long way to addressing the detection problem, and by outcome, reducing the rate of malaria transmissions.
"This is the first time we have trained dogs to detect a parasite infection and we are delighted by these early results. This is a reliable, non-invasive test and is extremely exciting for the future".
Dr Chelci Squires, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, told the BBC: "Dogs are actually nature's super-smellers so it is a great gift to have them".
And although some countries have seen a decrease in malaria, other countries in Africa as well as in the Americas, Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific saw increases between 2014 and 2016, according to the WHO.


Is quite simply what your customers, well anyone, feel about you. It is their gut reaction when thinking about you. This may not be easily vocalised but everyone has a split second feeling when they see, hear or touch anything to do with your business - which could be you, if you are the business, or it could be a product or service. Every business has 'touch-points' these are the point at which people come in to 'touch' with you - it may be a website, packaging, flyer, brochure, business card, sales rep or even Alexa app.
Ok so with that in mind the important question is now How do I make sure my brand is saying the right thing?
To find out what your brand is saying, you need to talk directly to the people who are in contact with it; your customers, prospective customers, staff, even strangers and with a questionnaire, interview or informal discussion find out what that gut feeling is.
An identity is the tangible assets that a business uses to influence their brand in a positive and reflective way. An identity is the look and feel of those touch points - your website, packaging, etc.
The process of creating an identity will start with a period of discovery, this is understanding your business, your customers, brand position, culture, association, promise, personality, values, tone of voice, driving force and message.
It is drawing out what your brand says about you at the moment and what it needs to say about you moving forward.
A quick note; a false brand - saying something that you are not - will become quickly apparent, gut reactions are nothing if not accurate.
The next stage of this process would most likely be creating a logo, the logo needs to embody the brand identity and be an ambassador for the business.
A logo is your name written in a style dictated by the identity usually with an ident, emblem or some sort of visual clue to enable it stand out from the competition.
So when I get asked by a small business if they really need a logo the answer is similar to do I need a brand. In that if you write your name, then you have to all intent 'got' a logo. There is no harm in creating a 'wordmark' that is just your name written in a typeface dictated by the identity.
I liken an identity without a logo or wordmark to a body without a head. You can look the part, dress the part but if you've not got your head screwed on you will find it harder to start a conversation.
The decision on logo or wordmark is one to have with your designer, but remember what your brand is to say about you and that in a crowded market we want to be remembered, a logo does this.
I work with many small businesses and it isn't completely unusual that a small business or sole trader will come to me asking for a website. I ask if they have a logo, or identity across other forms of media, to which they reply no, and then say, do I really need one?
The answer is well, if I design you a website I am creating an identity as I can't design the website without first looking at the style of the elements to reflect who you are and what you do. If I design this then to have any form of cohesion and thus brand power across all your other forms of media, they need to conform to this same identity so would benefit from this style guide as well. To do this we need to start with a design discovery meeting and if we are creating a brand identity it would be logical to create a logo or wordmark from which to hang this on.
Try and imagine for a moment, a professional, representational, well designed website for your business that at the top in Arial said MY BUSINESS (put in your name). I think immediately you would realise that this would skew any 'gut' reaction to this particular touch-point thus making the whole exercise obsolete. Again head without body.
Well yes, in fact I wouldn't work with you if it didn't, but in this day and age we don't have the luxury of a prospective customer spending the time to read the content before making a decision as to whether they want to give over their time to build a relationship with us. So we need the visual aspect to, like a book cover, give a flavour of what is inside to ask these busy people to commit to our brand promise.
Hmmm, when we talked about split second gut reactions, it is just that. If you don't notice someone's brand it is most likely as it fits - not jars - with you, so you have already subconsciously made the decision that their values may be in line with yours. Now of course some brands work to stand out, which is where a strong logo comes in, and some work to fit in - think professional services such as law or finance where their business model is generally about being inline with their industry and behind the scenes for their client. Either way, a logo will subliminally help to cement the brand identity in your client or prospective customer's mind and if seen again and again will start to form familiarity which in turn forms a relationship. Whether we like it or not, what seems familiar to us seems more trustworthy.
The process of creating an identity to build a brand.
Like on animals, it has been marked to belong, ie; branded media means that the identity style has been applied to this touch-point, to reflect the business and reinforce the brand.
Is my brand working for me or do I need a designer to help me take control, create memorable awareness and present my business and services in a positive and reflective light. And if you are already talking to a designer about designing an aspect of your identity - like your website - then I would say the answer is most probably yes!

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of miR-16-5p in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to explore the possible underlying mechanism.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: 100 pairs of cancerous and para-cancerous tissues surgically removed in our hospital were collected. Real Time quantitative-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression level of miR-16-5p in tissues. Bioinformatics and Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay were used to screen and verify the potential target genes of miR-16-5p, respectively. Human HCC SMMC-7721 cells were used for functional experiments. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay. Cell invasion and migration were evaluated by transwell and scratch wound-healing assay, respectively. The protein expression levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) associated markers were measured by Western blot (WB) assay.
RESULTS: QRT-PCR showed that miR-16-5p expression in HCC tissues was significantly lower than that of adjacent normal liver tissues. At the cellular level, miR-16-5p was lowly expressed in HCC cells (SMMC-7721). Bioinformatics websites (including Targetscan, PicTar, miRanda) predicted that insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) was a potential target gene of miR-16-5p. Meanwhile, IGF1R was selected for further investigation due to its metastatic function. The results showed that no significant difference was found in the mRNA expression level of IGF1R in HCC tissues. However, the protein level of IGF1R was significantly up-regulated, which was negatively correlated with miR-16-5p. Combined with Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay, it was confirmed that miR-16-5p could regulate the expression of IGF1R in a targeted manner. Furthermore, down-regulation of IGF1R significantly reduced the inhibitory effect of miR-16-5p on the proliferation and metastasis of SMMC-7721 cells.
CONCLUSIONS: We showed that miR-16-5p suppressed invasion and migration of HCC cells, mechanically by directly targeting and inhibiting IGF1R protein expression. The newly identified miR-16-5p/IGF1R axis might provide new insights into the pathogenesis of HCC and novel potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of HCC.

Video: Mike Cotty rides the Col du Sanetsch "Switzerland's best-kept secret"
A dead-end, but you can still do a loop?
Wed, Aug 23, 2017 16:39
The latest footage from the Col Collective sees a first visit to Switzerland, where Mike Cotty scales the Col du Sanetsch. The video is dedicated to Mike Hall, the British ultracyclist who was killed while participating in the Indian-Pacific Wheel Race earlier this year.
Cotty is joined by local expert Alain Rumpf from the Grand Tours Project on a 33km journey from Sion to the 2,253m summit and then beyond to the Lac du Sanetsch.
The climb, which Cotty calls "one of the country's best-kept secrets", delivers 1,745m of vertical gain, averaging 6% with a max gradient of 16%.
The early part rises through vineyards and residential areas, but following a short downhill through a tunnel the scenery starts to look a lot more remote.
Rumpf says the road is not particularly well-known by cyclists because 'on paper' it's a dead end. He points out that a great benefit of this is the relative dearth of traffic – and surely no-one would suggest that the views wouldn't warrant the return leg.
However, it turns out there's a way to do a loop anyway as you can descend to the valley by cable car.

No, it is not a bird - just your everyday hoisting machine set against the afternoon winter sky. I just like to keep things simple.
PS Have a nice week-end!
You got me with the title, I chuckled when I saw the subject. Those lights look pretty interesting suspended in the sky.
I have to agree with Wayne, you got me with the title at first, too! I love it! Really interesting capture and the lights caught my eye, too! Hope you've had a good week, Rune, hopefully a great weekend!
Ah yes these cranes are quite common here too.
Flott bilde, passende både for "Himmelsk" og "SkyWatch"!
Ha ei flott helg, - nyt fredda'n slik den skal!
Your crane is even better than a Grus grus. I love those colors.
Well, I certainly cannot claim to be an expert on photography, but I must admit that this picture was very interesting to me. The sharp detail of that "common crane" was quite effective with that (at least to me) unusual sky in the background. I would say that this one maybe should be hung in some eclectic photo gallery.
Likte dette jeg også.Sier som Rema-reklamen,"Det enkle er ofte det beste".
As simple as a line drawing...excellent!
Og et nydelig bilde ble det!
After my geese, I was also ecpecting a bird! During my last 11 years of working, I think these was always one or more in view from our building.
I'm sure that not so much common cranes are pictured in such a dramatic way! The real photographer is the one who knows to magnify every day things..
You got that right, RuneE. I gambled that the free package of cigarettes the Army gave me each day in my package of C-rations, would never end: that I would love them, be thankful for America's generosity and set back and puff away in a foxhole on the black cinder beach of an Iwo Jima or the mountains of North Korea. Instead, I gambled and got two shot lungs, heart disease and about outdone my list of miracles—that I am still alive is, perhaps, my last miracle. Gambling on the arts is a worthwhile occupation, but I been there, for years, as an artist and did all that stuff and about all it got me was a sensitivity to linseed oil and turpentine. I was around, at all the shows before artist's acrylic paint came out.
Hello my friend, hope the medication is doing its job.
Nice shot by the way.
I do hope that you are continuing to feel better and better. I wanted you to know I'm thinking about you and hoping that each day is a better day for you.
That is one great sky, and the crane makes a very nice contrast to. Good eye! (Hope you're feeling OK).
Virkelig et lekkert bilde. Bravo!
hahaha, your title tricked me! I was definitely expecting a bird :))), but this machine it's also fine :))!
Hola, te acabo de conocer. Muy buenas imagenes. Un saludo desde Murcia..seguimos..

Hi Rune! Sorry for the delay; Happy New Year!
Great pictures, great story, great job in here, GREAT BLOG, you've got all my CONGRATULATIONS and maximum respect, Robert from Ploiesti, Romania !!!


Fall is in the air and with that comes an abundance of squash, root vegetables, and substantial greens ready for harvest. One seasonal ingredient you should be cooking with is tomatillos. They are at their peak and when you peel back their paper-like husk, you get a shiny, bright green fruit that is bursting with flavor!
Soup, also being a fall staple, is a great way to incorporate fresh tomatillos. And the warmth a bowl of soup brings on a chilly evening is so comforting which makes tomatillo soup a perfect fall meal. Tomatillos are a very adaptable ingredient. No matter how many ways I use them, they always have the ability to bring some amazing flavor to the table.
This is such a simple soup recipe. Feel free to make your own adaptions. It is pretty forgiving as far as adjustments are concerned. It's also a great meal option if you are trying to please meat eaters and vegetarians. By adding some shredded chicken into the soup, you can turn this into a hearty, protein packed meal. Or perhaps you want to stick with the vegetarian route. This soup goes really well with some rice and beans. One thing you want to keep in mind though is the jalapeño. I do not recommend using more than half of the seeds from one jalapeño. And even that will make it really spicy. If mild is your preference, remove all of the jalapeño seeds. If you want a touch of spice, leave a few seeds, but not much more. Remember, you can always add a little spice afterwards if you feel it needs an extra kick but you can't take the spice out if you use too many seeds.
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place tomatillos, onion, jalapeño, and garlic cloves on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake for about 15 minutes. The tomatillos should have some light brown spots on them and have softened a bit.
2. Place the roasted vegetables in your blender, along with the broth, coconut milk, cilantro, lime, and spices. Blend on low for 15 seconds, then increase to medium for 30 seconds. Check the consistency and flavors and adjust if necessary. Blend for 30-60 seconds more for a smoother consistency.
3. Pour the soup into a saucepan if further heating is needed. Now would be the time to add in some shredded chicken, rice, or beans if desired. Pour the soup into serving bowls and add any toppings you wish. Makes 6 cups of soup without add-ins.
Cashew sour cream is an great addition to this soup!

Wow, WHAT intense details! I can see you put a lot fo time into this, good job man!
I zoomed in on it, and the detail is amazing! You actually took the time to make all of the clouds, and the stars shining through them, and the detail is so exact! Although I don't understand the slightest bit of why your comment was "lengendary frog goes nuts." Awesome piece of work, 11/10.
The detail of the buildings and lights is astounding, the moon and the stars make it look so clean. Makes me think that the future will not be run by machines but a very peaceful life.
Looks like a futuristic version of Starry Night, resemblances especially prominent in the colors.
It's the most beautiful cityscape I've seen in while. I like how you detail everything down to the windows and fire escapes. Really nice work.

An 8-year-old boy, who is wheelchair bound, scored a touchdown in a championship game for first- and second-graders in his Kansas hometown.
Karter Gardenhire, who cannot walk because he suffers from Spina Bifida, had help from players on his hometown team from Clearwater, and from kids on the opposing squad from nearby Newton in the November 2 skirmish.
A video of the proud moment shows little Karter as he entered the field with a fellow teammate pushing his wheelchair from behind.

President Barack Obama is having Mitt Romney over for lunch on Thursday, and their meeting is already generating a lot of buzz. Here are five theories about the White House's motives.
Obama and Romney were bitter rivals in the 2012 presidential campaign, with Obama getting a surprisingly big victory in the Electoral College.
Since then, Romney has stayed out of the spotlight, while Obama said he would invite Romney to the White House at some point.
The pair will have a private meeting for lunch, so there will be no press coverage or a photo opportunity.
So here are five theories that are floating around about the get-together.
In 2008, President-elect Obama met with John McCain on November 17 in Chicago, and there was a photo op with the two men. McCain had lost to Obama, but he was still a U.S. senator.
At the time, McCain said he would "obviously" help the incoming president, and the former foes issued a statement about bipartisanship.
Conditions are different in 2012, with Romney not holding a Senate position and Obama sitting in office as the incumbent.
We're also not sure that there is a tradition of losing presidential candidates meeting with incumbent presidents.
The protocol for current presidents meeting with former presidents is entirely different.
You can read excerpts from a book called "The President's Club" for a look at how presidents interact.
That doesn't seem likely, since Romney is self-supporting financially and has a life outside politics, with 18 grandchildren.
One issue where the candidates disagreed sharply on the campaign trail was on the fiscal cliff debate.
Romney was not in favor of raising taxes on higher income earners, because he believed it stunted the growth of business and hurt its ability to create jobs.
Obama was critical of Romney's philosophy about the fiscal cliff, especially his attacks on entitlement spending.
However, one of Romney's ideas on the campaign trail, a cap of income tax deductions for wealthier Americans, might become part of the negotiations in Congress in December.
Obama had floated out a similar plan in the past, but just after the election, Senate Democrats attached Romney's name to it, as a way to get the Republicans to discuss it.
That's also a distinct possibility, since President Obama praised Romney's business acumen after the campaign.
"He presented some ideas during the course of the campaign that I actually agree with. And so it'd be interesting to talk to him about something like that. There may be ideas that he has with respect to jobs and growth that can help middle-class families that I want to hear," Obama said.
Of course, President Obama has scores of business advisers already, including friends in the private sector.
5. Obama wants closure on the 2012 presidential election, or something else?
President Obama said after the election that he was interested in talking with Romney about ways the two men could work together.
He used similar words about John McCain in 2008, after Obama easily defeated the Republican candidate. That didn't come to pass.
One theory is that Obama could just want to be consistent in how he publicly handles his consecutive wins in 2008 and 2012, and it would be a slight to Romney if he didn't extend a similar invitation for a sit-down meeting.
But in an editorial in Wednesday's Washington Post, former Romney strategist Stuart Stevens paints a portrait of Romney as a good man who is a Washington outsider, who was never accepted by the GOP establishment.
"I appreciate that Mitt Romney was never a favorite of D.C.'s Green Room crowd or, frankly, of many politicians. That's why, a year ago, so few of those people thought he would win the nomination," Stevens said.
Given that some key Republican leaders criticized Romney for his post-election comments about Obama using "gifts" to win the election, could Obama approach Romney about some kind of position related to bipartisanship or public service?
As odd as the idea sounds, Romney has made it clear he's done running for public office, but has no plans to retire.
An Associated Press story earlier this month cited a Romney insider as saying the former candidate had an interest in philanthropic efforts or having a role in future Olympics efforts.

Home/Sports/Eli Manning attends Giants game as spectator for first time
Eli Manning attends Giants game as spectator for first time
New York PostSeptember 12, 2021Last Updated: September 12, 2021
You know how those on the outside say things like "This is a big year for so-and-so" at the start of a new season, putting, if not heat, certainly attention on certain players?
Eli Manning, now an outsider (sort of), does that too.
"I'm excited for the team," Manning said Sunday at MetLife Stadium, a few hours before kickoff of Giants-Broncos. "It's a big year for a number of guys. It's a big year for Saquon [Barkley]. It's a big year for Daniel Jones. A lot of guys, Evan Engram, a lot of guys who have been close and been here for a while, trying to see if they can take those next steps forward or stay healthy.
"I'm excited to watch 'em and cheer for 'em and root for 'em. I'm not here to judge and analyze, I'm not that person. I'm just here to be a fan and support them in any way I can."
This Giants game was the first one for Manning as a spectator, something he was keenly aware of when he said, "It's much more relaxed coming to the stadium today than the last 16 years when I was coming to play and coming to perform and game plan."
Eli Manning at MetLife Stadium on Sept. 12, 2021.
Manning works for the Giants in a business operations and fan engagement role. As such, he helped cut the ribbon prior to the game on the newly named Hackensack Meridian Health Legacy Club. Manning, as a player and since retirement, has worked tirelessly on his "Tackle Kids Cancer" program to find a cure for pediatric cancer.
Manning, 40, was like everyone else during the 2020 pandemic season, watching from afar. Before this year's season opener, he met with Giants sponsors before settling in to watch his former team with his wife, Abby, and their four children. He owns six season tickets.
"I hope to make this a tradition that we get to do on Sundays, growing up and watching the Giants and coming to see games," Manning said.
His first order of the day: Not getting lost inside the inner corridors of the enormous stadium.
"I don't know my way around the inside of the building," he said. "This is all kind of foreign territory for me. I got to learn my way around a little bit."

Manning did what he said he would do — take a year off — after retiring following the 2019 season as the franchise career passing leader in everything and as a two-time Super Bowl Most Valuable Player. He kicked back and tried to figure out what came next for him. What he learned about himself was not quite a shocking revelation.
"I really got to reflect and find out if there are other interests, other things I want to get involved in and want to pursue," he said. "I kind of learned there's not a whole lot of other things I'm interested in besides football. It's what I know, it's what I like, it's what I can talk about, it's something I like to study, keep up with it."
To that end, Eli and his older brother, Peyton, will call ten "Monday Night Football" games this season on ESPN2, providing an alternate broadcast, featuring the expertise of the two former NFL quarterbacks. One of the games the Manning brothers will work is the Giants' Nov. 1 Monday night game against the Chiefs in Kansas City. Eli and Peyton make their debuts Monday night with the Ravens-Raiders game.
"I can't tell you every single player on both teams and know exactly who the left guard is and who the backup center is, I don't know all those things," Manning said. "It's more like watching the film, watching the schemes of the offense and the defense and give you an inside look of, 'Hey, what's the coordinator yelling at [Derek] Carr about right now? What's going on on the sideline? What's going on at halftime or what's the strategy of certain things? Why was this play successful or why was it not? Take you inside the ropes a little bit of football."

Q: CKEditor error creating dialog I have the following test script:

    var field = {id: "html1"};
    var editor = CKEDITOR.replace(field.id);
    var dialogObj = new CKEDITOR.dialog(editor, 'smiley');

I get the following error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'dir' of undefined
    at CKEDITOR.dialog (ckeditor.js:573)
    at testCKE.html:24
I am using the full version 4.6.2 (12 Jan 2017)
dir seems to be an element of editor.lang
I experimented with setting config.language and config.defaultLanguage
I tried it with and without jquery, no difference
The editor opens fine and appears to work.
What am i doing wrong?
UPDATE: found an answer, see below. Still interested if there is a better way.

A: I got the dialog to work using code based on the samples/old/dialog files, cutdown version:
var field = {id: "html1"};
CKEDITOR.on( 'instanceCreated', function( ev ){
    var editor = ev.editor;

    // Listen for the "pluginsLoaded" event, so we are sure that the
    // "dialog" plugin has been loaded and we are able to do our
    // customizations.
    editor.on( 'pluginsLoaded', function() {

        // If our custom dialog has not been registered, do that now.
        if ( !CKEDITOR.dialog.exists( 'myDialog' ) ) {

            CKEDITOR.dialog.add( 'myDialog', function(){
                return  {title: 'My Dialog',
                    minWidth: 400,

                            id: 'tabA',
                            label: 'TabA',
                            title: 'TabA',
                            elements: [
                                {
                                    id: 'button1',
                                    type: 'button',
                                    label: 'Button Field'
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    ]

        // Register the command used to open the dialog.
        editor.addCommand( 'myDialogCmd', new CKEDITOR.dialogCommand( 'myDialog' ) );

        // Add the a custom toolbar buttons, which fires the above

5 Really Bad Instances of "Ethnic" Casting
A recent Cinemulatto Facebook discussion on Breakfast at Tiffany's had me thinking about really, really bad instances of white people playing people of color in movies. Sure, we have half-forgiven relics such as Al Jolson in blackface, Luise Rainer winning an Oscar for her role as a Chinese farmer, or even Robert Downey, Jr. in Tropic Thunder. Gene Wilder is funny in Silver Streak and A Mighty Heart had decent acting. Plus, it's long been a cinematic norm to have white people "stretching" to play non-white roles (or the occasional Filipino portraying someone like Richie Valens). History has kind of allowed us to pardon the simply misinformed choices of well-meaning casting directors.
Some casting decisions, however, were just really, really bad. Here are the most painful.
Not even close to black
Anthony Hopkins – Coleman Silk in The Human Stain
A Welsh man playing a black man passing as white. The younger version of Coleman Silk is played convincingly by Wentworth Miller. However, we couldn't get beyond Hopkins' British accent and the fact that not only does he not look remotely black, but he seems to have trouble sounding American. Was Tom Hanks busy?
Mickey Rooney – Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's
Granted, Mickey Rooney didn't mean to offend anybody. Still, this is just goofy. No longer funny. Bad. Truman Capote's novella had Mr. Yunioshi in only a tiny role as Holly Golightly's annoyed but smitten neighbor. No sign of false teeth, and he even had a hipster profession as a photographer. Where's the spinoff?
Gael García Bernal was a working actor in 2000
Sean Penn – a Cuban peasant in Before Night Falls
He appears in only one scene, and maybe someone wanted to add more A-list actor cred to Julian Schnabel's sophomore film effort. I'm a big fan of Schnabel. I'm a small fan of the bad makeup job on Penn. I don't get it—the cast is otherwise packed with Latino actors. As for A-list, wasn't Johnny Depp enough, in two roles? Couldn't he have played just one more tiny role as the peasant?
Bad Comanche
William Shatner – dual role as a white man and his Comanche brother in White Comanche
Okay, the makers of this movie get points for featuring mixed-race brothers. They fight each other. Shatner whoops and hollers as an Indian brave. Guess which one smokes peyote? Shatner was at the top of his game with Star Trek, so maybe he thought he could do anything. Verdict: wrong.
The stuff of nightmares
Peter O'Toole – a Tibetan lama in Kim
This is so bad, I don't know where to start. Actually, I'll start with the overwhelming sadness caused by knowing this is the man from Lawrence of Arabia. Please, avoid this made-for-TV movie from 1984 based on the Rudyard Kipling novel. The book: classic. Peter O'Toole as a Tibetan lama in a skull cap: horrible.
What are some of your least-favorite ethnic casting moments?

The sleeping pill she'd taken to escape the worst of the driving was a dud; the jolts and starts that had shaken her bones for the past four hours continued with no let-up as the jeep drove across the plains.
She had travelled to this country for the same reason she had crossed continents before, for the sake of her camera. It meant that she both noticed and was immune to everything: the thick musk of the man who drove the jeep and of the other two riders; how manners existed in their rough ways.
She was the only woman with them as they headed to the job, but their nods to her as the bumps across the terrain became more severe, or later, when the aroma from the cooking pot was followed by a bowl being shoved into her hand, indicated a care or respect of sorts. They would never welcome her fully, but understood why she was there.
In the glove compartment she found two cassettes, one unmarked, the other, a copy of the Rolling Stones' Let It Bleed left behind by a previous traveller. Neither had been played in years. Ants ran amok through the spools of the radio-cassette, and a short length of tape streamed from the open mouth of the machine, knotted and discoloured. A wooden box contained the horse teeth they were saving to trade during winter. There was money too, coins chinking through the thin mattress in the trunk rolled out a short distance from the nightly camp-fire, but the teeth were more readily used.
She would never comment about the musk or the food, nor the condition they lived in, absent of female care. But when she asked how they could survive without music, even a radio for so long; why they didn't use the teeth to buy a replacement, she felt amateur and naïve. She prided herself on her empathy, but mistakes like this made her feel at her most alone. By now hundreds of miles inside the plains with nothing in sight, every hectare felt like their hometown, a place unknown to her. The men's laughter held all the way past the mountains.
It was not so much a destination they reached; more that they found what they were looking for: animals drinking from a muddy steam.
The wild horses matched their new riders, gnarled and ugly. Energy depleted once an epic resistance against tethering had been lost, their faces were terrifying: broken teeth bared, and nostrils dripping with sweat.
At the crucial moment, when they finally accepted the weight on their backs and understood they were being ridden, their muted cries for mercy were devastatingly human, and she closed her ears to it, knowing she had no power to stop anything.
The men were serious now, the laughter long since abandoned as they shouted to each other over the careering horses, their hands coiling the rope back and forth and then pulling hard.
The air around both horse and rider was fetid. Breeze or no breeze made little difference. It lodged thickly in her throat making her gag as one horse after another was brought to the ground. Enveloped by animal heat, close to passing out, to puking, she moved away from the jeep door and took her photographs.
Niven Govinden is the author of three novels, most recently Black Bread White Beer, Fourth Estate/HarperCollins India, which was longlisted for the 2013 DSC Prize for South Asian Literature. His short stories have appeared in numerous publications internationally.

He's just 6 years old but when Carden Corts of Nashville, Tennessee made a weather forecast report project for school, it took the world by storm.
The adorable kid had to make a weather report for his class at Waverly Belmont Elementary School but because his dad Charlie was the head of operations for Rated Red, a digital video network, Carden was able to make the video more 'legitimate' so that the kid appears to be a meteorologist reporting live on TV.
"Hello, Nashville! I'm your local weatherman, Carden Corts," the adorable kid started the report.
He did put a disclaimer ahead of the report, saying "I'm not an actual meteorologist." Of course, it was obvious that he isn't a real meteorologist but he's quite adorable even with that portion of the report.
According to Carden, the segment was sponsored by the letter "C" and Pokemon cards. Cute. Then, with the help of his dad's graphics skills, Carden proceeded to use a 'weather simulator' to show the different forms of weather – and we suspect that this was actually the project he's supposed to make for school so they could learn more about the weather.
The weather simulator was so 'realistic' that Carden was startled by the hurricane that blasted on the screen. He hurriedly pushed the button on the remote control he's holding to change the weather; the screen quickly showed snow. But it was too cold for Carden; thus, he pushed the button again.
But the little weatherman was more excited to announce the start of spring which means it was time for spring break! Then, he broke into a dance before ending his report.
His adorable weatherman stint and his silly dance earned him a spot on the internet as the newest viral star. Two days after his dad posted the video on YouTube, it has already gained over 870k views!
NASA discovered three new Earth-sized planets and they are all in habitable zone!

BD Completes Molecular Portfolio for GI Infection With New Viral Panel BD MAX™ Enteric Viral Panel Receives 510(k) Clearance from U.S. Food and Drug Administration
FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., Dec. 20, 2018
FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX), a leading global medical technology company, today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance of its BD MAX™ enteric viral panel, a molecular diagnostic test for the direct qualitative detection and differentiation of enteric viral pathogens that cause viral gastroenteritis. The company now offers a broad suite of solutions for the detection of intestinal conditions of bacterial, viral, and parasitic origin, in clinically relevant, targeted panels.
Acute viral gastroenteritis can be contracted by virtually any patient and spread within close community settings such as daycare centers, nursing facilities, and cruise ships. Norovirus is the most common viral cause and accounts for 19 to 21 million cases of diarrheal illness annually in the United States, and 50 percent of all foodborne diarrheal outbreaks. Other viral causes include rotavirus, adenovirus, astrovirus and sapovirus to varying degrees of prevalence. Diagnosing the underlying cause of diarrhea can play a critical role in patient management to isolate patients at risk of spreading infectious diarrhea to others and rule out other causes of infection in children, the elderly or immunocompromised patients.
The BD MAX™ enteric suite of molecular tests for the detection of gastrointestinal bacteria, parasitic or viral pathogens enable clinicians to perform targeted testing for patients based upon their symptoms and health history or exposure. This testing approach is supported by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines. Compared to more generalized tests, this test provides the most clinically useful and necessary information to better diagnose and treat patients.
The BD MAX ™ enteric viral panel is designed for targeted detection of the viral cause of infectious diarrhea symptoms in all care settings and can detect norovirus, rotavirus, adenovirus, human astrovirus, and sapovirus.
The enteric panels run on the BD MAX™ molecular system and can return results in less than 3.5 hours, dramatically shortening time to results over traditional test methods. This shortened time to results allows clinicians to more quickly understand the cause of the patient's illness.
"We continue to expand our menu of unique, clinically relevant, molecular diagnostics panels to aid in diagnosis of a range of infectious diseases," said Nikos Pavlidis, vice president and general manager of Molecular Diagnostics & Women's Health for BD. "With this launch, BD's suite of assays for diagnosing gastrointestinal conditions will provide clinicians with greater flexibility for more efficient and cost-effective patient management. We also offer panels for diagnosis of hospital acquired infections including C. diff and MRSA as well as vaginal infections, common sexually transmitted infections, and group B streptococcal disease."
About BD MAX ™ MOLECULAR SYSTEM
The BD MAX™ system is a fully-integrated, automated molecular diagnostics platform that performs nucleic acid extraction and real-time PCR. The system can multiplex up to 24 samples across multiple test applications and provide test results for most assays in less than three hours. Using BD MAX™ products, laboratories can test for a range of conditions including women's health and sexually transmitted infections, enteric conditions, and healthcare associated infections.

Abstract: Based on scholarly literature and two recent studies, this article first describes gender dynamics and fathering as they have evolved in Morocco in the pre-migration period and among Moroccan families since migration to the Netherlands. The article then presents data about ideals and practices of fathering among contemporary Moroccan migrants in contrast to Dutch families. While in the Netherlands the traditional ideal of role division has given way to ideals of egalitarian role sharing, Moroccans continue to adhere to an ideology of motherhood situated within a patriarchal context. However, in the actual practice of mothering and fathering the gap between Dutch and Moroccan families appears not to be as wide as dominant ideologies suggest. We have found that, in both groups, mothers are the primary caretakers and that the increasing power of Moroccan mothers is as yet hidden from the public eye.
