Kisner's fiery Reed take: College teammates 'all hate him'
It's no secret that Patrick Reed isn't the most popular golfer on the PGA Tour. A recent quote attributed to Kevin Kisner by Golf Digest about Reed's college tenures at Georgia and Augusta State further pushes that narrative.
"They all hate him — any guys that were on the team with him (at Georgia) hate him and that's the same way at Augusta," Kisner said. "I don't know that they'd piss on him if he was on fire, to tell you the truth."
Kisner's comments are somewhat surprising, considering he's said multiple times in the past, including at this year's Open Championship, that he prefers to not talk about other players to the press. Reed's peers have been mostly reserved when asked to elaborate on their feelings about the 2018 Masters champion, and exceptions have typically been done anonymously.
There was the Shane Ryan book, "Slaying the Tiger: A Year Inside the Ropes on the New PGA Tour," in 2016, which brought to light anonymous cheating and stealing accusations from Reed's Georgia teammates. (Reed, who denied those allegations, was kicked off the team in 2009 before going on to win back-to-back NCAA titles at Augusta State, in 2010 and '11.)
Then there was this quote, told to the New York Times by an unnamed U.S. golfer following the Reed-fueled Ryder Cup drama in Paris: "He has no clue how to play team golf. I saw firsthand how bad of a team player he was. Eleven players understood the concept of team golf and only one didn't. Unfortunately, that one proved to be too costly for the team to overcome."
Reed has avoided tough questions about his past, as well, often saying that he doesn't care what others think of him. It will be interesting, though, to hear how he responds to Kisner's quote.

Schoolgirl Natasha MacBryde's Facebook bullies slammed by father
metrowebukmetroWednesday 23 Feb 2011 10:16 am
Natasha MacBryde's father has slammed the bullies who posted messages of hate on the schoolgirl's Facebook tribute page.
Natasha MacBryde's body was found on a railway line near Bromsgrove (Picture: Facebook)
Natasha was just 15 years old when she was hit and killed by a train on February 14th and since her death it has emerged she was being bullied by pupils at the £10,000-a-year grammar school she attended.
Among the messages posted by her friends and fellow pupils on a Facebook page set up in her memory were vicious posts, one of which read: 'Natasha wasn't bullied, she was just a whore.'
Her father Andrew has now slammed the actions of these cruel bullies.
'I am disgusted at these comments made by some seriously sick individuals,' he said, 'Facebook has a responsibility to allow people to express their grief properly while weeding out these sick people.'
Mr MacBryde added: 'I am trying to concentrate on the many, many beautiful and heartfelt comments which have been written.'
He previously said he was unsurprised the fact she was bullied at the Royal Grammar School, Worcester, has emerged on the internet.
In response to the cruel messages, a police source told The Daily Mail: 'We are investigating several incidents of malicious messages being posted on the internet. The postings will be traceable.'
British Transport Police said they are not treating her death as suspicious.

BBC websites taken offline by cyberattack
by Jim Boulden @CNNMoney December 31, 2015: 8:13 AM ET
The websites of the BBC were down Thursday because of large cyberattack, the media giant reported.
The BBC reported, citing anonymous sources, that a DDOS -- denial of service -- attack was to blame.
The public broadcaster, based in London, declined to comment when contacted by CNNMoney. A Twitter account managed by the BBC's communications team attributed the outage to a "technical issue."
A DDOS attack is an attempt to swamp a website with so much traffic that it disrupts normal service. The BBC's website outage lasted for approximately four hours before service was restored.
Social media users reported that the broadcaster's popular iPlayer catch-up television and radio services were also down early Thursday.
BBC News is one of the web's most visited news sites, and its TV channels are a mainstay in British homes. #BBCdown was the second most popular Twitter hashtag in London as users complained about the outage.

A low-slung crossover. Who needs an MPV?
The new Volkswagen ID Roomzz concept car has been unveiled on the eve of the 2019 Auto Shanghai motor show, showing how VW's electric car range is expanding at a dizzying rate. And this is no flight of fancy; it's previewing a new type of crossover/MPV mash-up, due to go on sale in China in 2021. European sales are likely to follow suit, according to Wolfsburg top brass CAR spoke to.
It's no accident that the new EV is being shown in China; this is the world's biggest zero-emissions market and this week's car show will be festooned with battery-powered electric cars. In 2018, some 950,000 electric new cars were registered in China, out of a mind-boggling total of 22 million registrations.
This is why Volkswagen chairman Herbert Diess (below) came to Shanghai to unveil the new ID Roomzz on the eve of the main expo.
CAR magazine is reporting live from Shanghai, so stay tuned for plenty more coverage in the coming days.
This is a large, five-metre long car, whose focus is on interior space and versatility, hence the four large suicide doors that open like a reverse handclap for ease of access. Sadly, those reverse-hinged doors are not bound for production cars (and nor are the cameras for door mirrors, scuppered by cost).
Volkswagen talks of 'a lounge on wheels', as its designers grapple with what the autonomous future looks like. The ID Roomzz features ID Pilot mode, which allows for full hands-off, level 4 driverless mode, you see - freeing up the cabin to double up as your sitting room.
The concept car is a four-seater with a glass roof. But VW admits the production version will be offered with three rows of seats as a seven-seater, as a standard five-seater or even as a four-seater with a pair of captain's rear seats, according to Bischoff. For this concept iteration of the VW ID Roomzz, those electric chairs pivot outwards to make it easier to climb in or out.
The new ID Roomzz is a powerful crossover, with two electric motors: the front axle is powered by a 75kW motor, while the rear axle boasts an output of 150kW. Under normal driving conditions, it's rear-wheel drive but the front wheels come to life under full throttle or if slip is detected, activating all-wheel drive 4Motion mode.
With 225kW in total (equivalent of 302bhp), this large car is impressively fleet of foot. Volkswagen quotes 0-62mph in 6.6sec and top speed is capped at 112mph (the limit that's likely to spread like wildfire across most cars; Volvo has already committed to it across its range).
Of rather more interest, the lithium-ion battery pack has a 82kWh capacity, which brings a 280-mile range on the latest European WLTP combined cycle. VW says the ID Roomzz can charge at up to 150kW DC; on rapid charge, that means the battery can be topped up to 80% in around half an hour.
Note also the latest augmented reality (AR) tech which beams nav instructions and other notifications on to the head-up display in front of the driver. They're super-imposed on the view ahead, with arrows indicating the direction of travel, a bit like the latest Mercedes-Benz MBUX system.
Up to nine cameras are peppered around the electric car's bodywork, keeping a watchful eye on proceedings for the semi-autonomous drive systems. Cleverly, some of the radar scanners are hidden behind the paintwork.
Ah yes. What can we say? Wolfsburg is working the ID family tree hard and the youthful name is just one of those cringe-worthy badges we'll have to accept for now and hope doesn't make it to production… Many of the cars feature the double Z, like the ID Buzz and ID Vizzion.
Like all the other VW ID family members, this electric car is based on the group's important new MEB EV car architecture. You can read our detailed explainer about the clever tech onboard here.
It's the sixth battery-powered car shown so far, following in the silent tyre tracks of the ID, ID Crozz, ID Buzz, ID Vizzion and the ID Buggy (above).


Homeopathy is a gentle approach to helping the body to heal itself by presenting the body with a set of symptoms similar to the natural disease process.
The objective of homeopathic medicine in veterinary care is to trigger the body's natural defenses. With each step in making the pet healthier, the body gains a greater ability to heal.
Dr. Laura Weis's practice is limited to homeopathic medicine and nutritional counseling. She has worked with several clients achieving visible results for the treatment of acute and chronic conditions such as asthma and arthritis.
Doylestown Veterinary Hospital & Holistic Pet Care is the best. We couldn't ask for more accommodating or friendly team for our boy Jackson. Dr. Laura Weis spent more time with us and our dog Jackson than my own doctor spends with me when I visit. She recommended a home-cooked diet to help and since then, Jack has been losing weight and his kidney stones have not reappeared. She is awesome!
Increases the overall health of the pet: especially when treating a chronic disease, the focus is on the pet as a whole.
Produces longer lasting results with a decreasing number of treatments.
Eliminates toxic side effects: the homeopathic approach can eliminate the toxic side effects associated with pharmaceuticals.
Reduces healthcare costs over the life of your pet: a homeopathic approach is designed so that the body is naturally able to address the underlying cause of the disease symptoms eliminating the need for costly medications and long-term care.


SAN FRANCISCO -- When San Francisco Bay Area political, sports and business leaders made their bid to host Super Bowl 50, they vowed to give the biggest annual event in sports a California twist.
Like all Super Bowls, this one would have sports stars, rock stars, fan fairs, fun runs, concerts, parties and the most-watched TV show in the USA. But in the Golden State, a global leader in combating climate change, the golden anniversary would mean more than glitter and game balls.
"We're going to ensure that this Super Bowl has a lasting positive impact" -- socially, economically and environmentally, said Daniel Lurie, the nonprofit-group CEO who made the Bay Area's Big Game pitch to NFL team owners.
And so, when it came time to plan for the energy needs of 1 million guests at the Super Bowl City fan village, the event organizers knew they wanted the most sustainable solution available.
Located on San Francisco's famed Market Street and waterfront Embarcadero, Super Bowl City would be the lively fan village and news broadcast base during the nine-day runup to the Feb. 7 NFL championship game.
It would feature family-friendly activities including concerts, celebrity appearances, interactive gaming, social media and data visualizations. Fans would play as digital avatars on giant screens while their movements were replicated by motion sensors that lit up the Fan Dome. A 50-foot-wide, 15-foot-tall Fan Wall would display leader boards and stats from the Fan Energy Zone games, user-generated content, social media visualizations and live video feeds from around Super Bowl City.
What's more, Super Bowl City would be the base for the CBS Television Network and the NFL Network, which would be broadcasting on television, radio and digital media throughout Super Bowl Week.
Lights, cameras, amplifiers, communications, computers, digital billboards — all that was going to require a large, dependable, onsite power supply. Plus, with more than 100,000 visitors to the fan village daily, the power supply could not pollute the air. And at this Super Bowl, with its green creed, that supply had to be environmentally sound as well.
Keith Bruce, a veteran of global sports marketing and event management, is CEO of the Super Bowl 50 Host Committee and the man accountable for keeping the big promises made by the Lurie group while finalizing thousands of small logistical arrangements.
For Super Bowl City, he had secured the cleanest portable generators available: diesel-powered machines meeting U.S. EPA Tier 4 standards for reduced exhaust emissions and quiet operation. Then, in midsummer 2015, he saw that big truck and bus fleets around the Bay Area were switching from conventional, petroleum-based diesel fuel to a different product.
The new users in the San Francisco Bay Area were enthusiastic about the Neste fuel's potential to help them meet climate and public-health goals. The city of Walnut Creek was first to switch its municipal fleet.
In San Francisco, after a successful six-month trial in Fire Department vehicles, officials said all city vehicles would switch to renewable diesel. "Our fleet ran cleaner and more efficiently, and we are completely supportive of the Mayor's call to switch to renewable diesel to improve the environment and create a healthier future for our residents," said the fire chief. In the city of Oakland, "The use of renewable diesel does not require changes in logistics, and it is compatible with all diesel engines. It is possible to migrate to a cleaner fuel virtually overnight," said the fleet manager. At delivery giant UPS, "It's actually as good or even better from a performance perspective as traditional diesel," said the vice president for energy procurement to the New York Times.
And in December, California ordered state agencies to buy renewable diesel when buying bulk fuel for vehicles and equipment. The change would help the state meet its goals for combating climate change significantly: The office issuing the order estimated that 49,000 tons of carbon intensity would be saved annually by replacing 7.3 million gallons of conventional diesel with renewable diesel.
Keith Bruce wondered if renewable diesel could help his program meet its own green goals. "We had a huge power need at Super Bowl City. We needed green energy supplied by partners who were world-class brands and leaders in their industry," he said. Shortly after connecting with the firm's Bay Area partners, he was convinced.
One of the final Super Bowl 50 activities will happen late in the evening of Feb. 7, and it also has a Neste fuel connection. The Big Game will be over; the Lombardi Trophy will be heading to a new home with the 2016 NFL World Champions. Five thousand people who were at the game will be traveling home, too, to cities in the north and eastern regions of the Bay Area, aboard 100 Fan Express buses powered by Neste's renewable diesel.
"Making sustainability part of our DNA is something that no sporting event in the United States has ever done, but we hope it's not the last," concluded Super Bowl Host Committe CEO Keith Bruce.
Neste is the world's largest producer of renewable diesel. Made at four plants around the world from non-petroleum sources such as waste and residues and vegetable oils, Neste's renewable diesel reduces carbon emissions by 40 percent to 80 percent compared to conventional diesel fuel. It also reduces particulate emissions and nitrous oxides.
Switching from conventional fossil diesel to clean renewable diesel requires no additional investments on infrastructure or engine modifications. Thus, fleets can switch to renewable diesel overnight. It is a 100 percent replacement; no blending is needed.
Neste provides renewable diesel to U.S. refiners, blenders and fuel distributors. It is also available to consumers at fuel stations in Northern and Southern California.
California ordered state agencies to buy renewable diesel when buying bulk fuel for vehicles and equipment. The change would help the state meet its goals for combating climate change significantly.
The event organizers knew they wanted the most sustainable solution available.
Neste's renewable fuel was cleaner, favorably priced, and easily incorporated into existing fueling systems.

The Montana Senate gave final passage Monday to Senate Bill 264, which would increase state financing of certain historic, cultural and recreation assets benefiting Montanans and tourists.
But the bill was pared back significantly in committee action a few weeks ago, reducing the funding increase from $29 million over the next two years to $3.1 million, and eliminating entirely what was initially proposed as a $14.8 million increase in state tourism promotion.
The bill, proposed by dozens of tourism, cultural, historic and recreational groups, could face further cuts during budget negotiations in the House, its sponsor, state Sen. Bob Keenan, R-Bigfork, said Tuesday.
"SB 264 started out as a golden eagle and is now kind of a canary on life support with just a little bit of money in it," Keenan said. "It does create a potential pathway to start the work that so many groups want in preserving Montana's cultural heritage."
If the amended bill is approved, future legislatures could add money to the programs, he said.
But, with budget battles expected to continue as the bill heads to the House of Representatives, Keenan projected, "the long-term prognosis for the bill is marginal."
A broad-based tourism, culture and recreational group recommended the bill and advocated it as the state's first significant increase in tourism spending in 30 years.
As written, SB 264 would have diverted 60 percent of the revenue that now goes entirely to the state general fund from two tax measures established in 2003, the 3 percent accommodations, or bed tax, and the 4 percent rental vehicle tax. The bill would not have affected the 4 percent lodging fee, or bed, tax that the Legislature approved in 1987. It now provides about $15 million a year for tourism promotion and support of state parks and culture.
Keenan had argued that the timing was ripe to increase state promotion, since U.S. tourists are expected to take advantage of lower gas prices to travel considerably more this summer. Gayle Fisher of Great Falls, director of the 13-county Central Montana Travel Region, said other states like California are doubling their already larger travel promotion budget.
Tourism backers sought first big spending increase in 30 years.
Montana drew nearly 11 million out of state visitors last year, who spent nearly $4 billion, directly supporting 38,800 jobs and generating an estimated $276 million in local and state tax revenue, state projections showed.
But, Keenan noted Tuesday, SB 264 was sent to the Senate Finance and Claims Committee in March, which was assessing a variety of spending bills.
"Everybody realized SB 264 would be a big hit on the general fund, so (it) needed to be part of overall budget discussions, negotiations and the will of the Legislature," he said, adding that it was up against other large spending measures, including the state pay plan and the Medicaid expansion bill.
The committee, with urging by the governor's budget office, lopped a lot of the increased spending from the bill, Keenan said.
"In addition, a lot of legislators didn't want to spend additional money on advertising and promotion," he said. "They were willing to spend some money on hard assets, such as cultural, historic and recreational sites, but did not want to increase promotion."
•The Montana Fish and Game Department for renovation, replacement and enhancement of state parks.
 •The Montana Commerce Department to distribution between the state's seven tourism regions and local convention and visitors bureaus.
 •The Montana Historical Society to preserve and secure Montana's historical heritage.
 •The Montana Historical Society to rehabilitate state owned heritage buildings.
 •The Montana Arts Council for programs supporting economic development, education and cultural tourism.
 •The Montana Heritage Preservation and Development Commission to preserve, protect and enhance historic properties.
 •The Montana Fish and Game Department to administer a grant preserving non-state-owned properties.
Fisher said she is "disappointed at the level of the cuts," but appreciates the regional and local tourist groups getting at least some increase. Her preliminary calculation showed the Central Montana Travel Region and Great Falls Convention and Visitors Bureau would split about $20,000 a year.
She questioned the decision to eliminate all increased spending for state tourism promotion.
"The cost of advertising and promotion keeps going up, so Montana could be losing ground against other states that it competes against in attracting tourists.," she said.


The PlayStation 4 might be on the cusp of taking away a title that had been synonymous with Microsoft until very recently. While Titanfall had only been offered on the Xbox One and Xbox 360, it appears the PlayStation 4 will have a crack at Titanfall 2. While Titanfall has fallen in popularity since its release in the spring of 2014, there will no doubt be a demand for Titanfall 2, especially from PlayStation 4 gamers who never got the chance to strap in and shoot giant robots roaming the land.
Jorgensen didn't specifically address the PlayStation 4 but drawing those comments out to their logical conclusion has Titanfall 2 making an appearance on the PS4. EA's CFO was making an appearance at the 2015 Technology, Internet & Media Conference where he also divulged that Electronic Arts wants to make just one FPS per year. That means that PlayStation 4 fans who were hoping to get their hands on Titanfall 2 will likely be waiting at least a couple of years.
The newest iteration of Titanfall, which is admittedly not even in development yet is going to take a backseat to Battlefield Hardline this year and Battlefield 5 in 2016. That means the earliest Titanfall 2 would hit the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One would be 2017. That would be quite a wait indeed for the next Titanfall, since Gamespot reports Titanfall 2 was actually greenlit last year. It seems the strong launch of the original Titanfall has convinced Respawn and EA that another Titanfall would make the companies plenty of revenue.
Titanfall revenues would of course be aided by the fact that it was available on the PlayStation 4. In fact the existence on that console would almost assuredly mean it would also be playable using remote play and the PS Vita. That would mean that Titanfall fans could play Titanfall 2 on the go. A kind of mobile version of Titanfall might help to keep interest surrounding the Mech driving and shooting game going. That is another reason why it would be a good idea to offer the title on the PlayStation 4.

I will try to make a summary of this wonderful exchange, but since I am a very chaotic person, I'm afraid it will not be chronological.
I start with the beginning, since this is a feeling that I will never forget.
The Youth Exchange was organised by our Bulgarian hosts and Poland Lithuania, Republic of Moldova and Belgium were participating. It took place from 12 till 20 September 2015 in Vraca Bulgaria.
After a sleepless night I was ready to go. I really didn't know what to expect, so I took a look at the program a few days before the great adventure would start. I had a meeting with the Belgian participants before, but except for that, everything was very new to me. The trip by plane went very smoothly, and arriving felt like a relief. "Finally it will start", was the first thing I thought, very enthusiastic and excited as I was.
We had to travel by bus from Sofia, the capital city, to the Hashove hotel. I almost forgot to mention that I arrived one day late because of certain personal circumstances. That made of course that I missed the real start. The other participants told me they had a wonderful trip in Sofia, with some nice things to see.
The first day I participated myself, I just was lost in all what was new. I got some mobility training from Sylvie, who led the Belgian delegation during the entire camp. Furthermore, I discovered my room and unpacked everything, so actually the usual procedure at the beginning of such an event.
I could. I was having lots of interesting chats, together with a nice drink. I can say that the first evening was a great success.
I remember waking up the next morning, and after a few hours I slowly started to realize some things, with my hyperactivity and my lack of concentration. I figured out that Nik and Georgi where the guys responsible for organizing everything. The organization was splendid and I can use many words to describe it, but if I did that, this article would be way too long.
We visited a nice museum which introduced us more to the wonderful things Bulgaria has to offer: a bit of history, together with miniatures of the local mountains there. The same evening we got a nice presentation from the organizers, which was showing us even more of the beauty the host country has.
Every one of the five participating countries had to give a presentation. The people from Poland showed us how to dance, and we got very nice food to try. Bigos was one of them, a dish based on sauerkraut, white cabbage and more than one type of meat. If you are a party animal, Moldova is the place to be.
The Moldovan wine we tasted was so fantastic, you could always discover if somebody were speaking Romanian or Russian. And if you want to have lots and lots of festivals, I can just say it's the place to be.
The Lithuanian delegation gave us all a very nice bracelet, shared their beautiful songs, and told us that they were so passionate about basketball. We could notice that passing when they jumped in the swimming pool twice as a sort of celebration because of the victory they achieved. They even had a bet by saying that Lithuania was not able to win. The losers of that bet were thrown in the pool with clothes and all.
Ice-breakers, who am I? My strengths and weaknesses, a very informative Introduction to the Erasmus+ Program and the opportunities it provides, Paying a visit to the Ledenika cave, creating a poem, acting crazy and transforming into fruit, making a theatre play, something nice of the things we struggle with every day and the misunderstandings.
Vratsa. Even when there was nothing to see for me, Vratsa was breathing with so much life. You can hear the sound of a fountain, have a very nice pizza, see and hear Smiling kits, have a wonderful overview if you are partially sighted or sighted, and so much more.
Besides all the indescribable things I could experience during that week: the contacts that I made, the exchange of experiences of how it is to live in each other's country, and having deep and long conversations were the things I enjoyed the most.
The week flew past, and before I knew it we had to go back. Saying goodbye is never something pleasant. Thank you to all of you who made this possible. It's something that will stay in my memory for ever.

Pink Gin VI: The inside story of Baltic Yachts' all-carbon super sloop
The interior of the Baltic 175 Pink Gin IV, party gallery, part boutique hotel, reflects its owner's passions. David Glenn takes a tour
The Baltic 175 Pink Gin may have captured most of the headlines for her sheer size and cleverly engineered topside balconies, but below decks a collection of Cuban art and some phenomenal styling demand equal attention.
Mark Tucker's team at Design Unlimited in the UK worked closely with the yacht's owner, Professor Hans Georg Näder, with whom they had cooperated on his previous Pink Gin, to produce an unusual exercise in interior styling.
Professor Näder's fascination with Cuba and his taste in art, fashion and music helped inspire Design Unlimited to use materials rarely seen aboard a yacht. They include fish skin, sealskin, fashioned leather, bamboo, pewter and 8,600-year-old bog oak combining to create an eclectic style that takes the visitor by surprise at every turn.

Not shy of throwing a party, Professor Näder wanted to create a platform for entertaining in a variety of environments above and below deck with music, art and unusual finishes very much part of the mix.
No ordinary experience
Stepping aboard Pink Gin from a tender is no ordinary experience. Instead of taking a boarding ladder to the deck, a topsides opening balcony leads guests directly into the port side lobby, the outboard facing bulkhead of which is taken up almost entirely by artwork fashioned from metal acetone drums. It's by Roberto Diago, the Cuban artist, whose work can also be seen in the owner's suite.
Once through the sliding glass safety doors, turn left, or forward, to move into the lower deck saloon dominated on the port side by an extraordinary table featuring dried flowers set in clear resin. The piece is by London-based Polish artist Marcin Rusak and was a constant talking point when we were aboard. One can waste hours examining each tiny petal suspended in the table-top.
Marcin Rusak's saloon table features flower petals set in clear resin. A baby grand is seen aft
The ornate glass chandelier above this table is a keepsake from the owner's previous Pink Gin, as is the leather Louis Vuitton trunk furnishing the seating area opposite.
Pillars finished in salmon skin
Design for the leatherwork adorning the lifting keel casing was inspired by bookbinding and the two deck support pillars located either side of the stairway leading to the upper saloon are finished in salmon skin. To port, in the upper saloon, is an Edelweiss Sygnet piano, finished in a subtle shade of pink – or is it purple? It's positioned to overlook the lower saloon.
Opposite is a smaller dining area furnished with a large, U-shaped custom-made Chesterfield sofa and a table made of rare bog oak, a hard, dark timber possessing a particularly rich hue. This bog wood is thought to be almost 9,000 years old and would have been retrieved from a swamp or bog, the acidic qualities of which preserve and form the colouring we see today. The oak cabin soles in this and most other areas are finished with a type of distressed paintwork that helps create a less formal atmosphere.
A demanding brief for Aquarius from experienced sailors has produced a masterpiece from some of the most experienced and talented…
Over the past decade we've been treated to the rise of the custom built cruiser-racer. Arguably inspired by the success…
Don't miss the day head
Design Unlimited sourced the unusual wallpaper for the day head
No visitor should leave without a visit to the day head. It's decorated with a stunning bespoke wallpaper pattern of coloured fish set on a jet-black background. Design Unlimited sourced it and it will leave a lasting impression.
Forward of the main saloon are four guest cabins, one double, a twin and two tiered twins, all with en-suite bathrooms equipped with unusual taps and fittings finished in a type of oxidised metallic bronze; industrial chic might be a way of describing it.
A lobby serving the forward cabins is illuminated naturally using glass decklights by way of the mast. It features a sculpture by Roberto Fabelo, another notable Cuban artist.
Ultimate view
Of all the areas in Pink Gin's accommodation, it is perhaps the owner's suite that succeeds more than any other as a living space and styling exercise, not least because of the fantastic effect created by the topside opening balcony.
This is a large, starboard-side aperture creating a stunning framed vista for the cabin's occupants and, of course, direct access to the water. You enter the suite through an office area furnished with a desk, the top of which is finished in laser cut stingray skin and horn. There's nothing understated about Pink Gin.
Spectacular views and direct access to the sea from the owner's suite via a starboard opening
Informality sets the tone
This leads into the main sleeping accommodation furnished with a king-sized double, the base of which is constructed of bamboo. What is referred to as an 'art wall', facing the bed, is dominated by another work by Roberto Diago, this time featuring coarsely finished painted timber from old Cuban fishing boats. This sets the tone for a cabin in which the style is interesting and challenging rather than predictable.
The 'his and hers' full-width head and shower room again features the industrial chic styling seen elsewhere in the yacht. It is lined with what look like substantial white tiles, complete with heavy-duty grouting. In fact, the finish comes in composite sheets, made by Baltic, which are notably light.
The effect is remarkable. Another stunning feature in the owner's suite and this time in a walk-in wardrobe and dressing room, is a carpet using a pattern inspiration taken from one of Professor Näder's favourite French scarfs.
Roberto Diago's acetone drum artwork greets visitors boarding via the port side
All the crew accommodation, plus one other large guest cabin are located aft. One of the many advantages of the port side opening into the lobby is that the crew and particularly the galley staff can, if necessary, transfer stores quickly and easily from a tender.
Turn right, or aft, and you step immediately into the large galley, which has its own style comprising granite counter tops that no doubt had the weight police in tears, and composite cabinet doors adorned with what is made to look like a hammered metal finish. There is sleeping accommodation and a mess area for up to nine crew.
Bog oak and pewter trim
On deck there is no let up in the quest for eye-catching style. The aged bog oak can again be seen in the cap rail and the bar occupying the middle of three cockpit areas. The main cockpit table is by I Vassalletti, master craftsmen from Tuscany who have used waxed teak and pewter in its construction. The aforementioned sealskin is used to finish the handrails around the bar.
The cockpit is illuminated by two vast Murano glass chandeliers suspended from the boom. They are so heavy they need to be lifted into place with a block and tackle. Design Unlimited in their press release state: 'Pink Gin is a yacht that cannot be categorised within existing superyacht parameters'. It's quite a claim and they might be right.

Hazrat Abbas (A.S.), the Hope of Imam Ali (A.S.)
:imamreza.net
Hazrat Abbas is the hope of Imam Ali (as); He is the wish and desire of Imam Ali (as); He is the answered prayer of Imam Ali (as). History tells that:
The first wife of Imam Ali (as) was the beloved daughter of the Holy Prophet (saww) – Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra (as). Together, they were blessed with 4 children: Hasan, Husayn, Zaynab, Umm Kulthoom and Muhsin (who was martyred whilst still in the womb of his mother).
After the martyrdom of Sayyida Fatima (as), when our first Imam (as) intended to remarry, he (as) took his son al-Husayn (as) and visited his brother Aqeel (as).
Aqeel, in those days, was very well known about the family trees of the Arabs and their backgrounds. Our Imam (as) came to him and said, "O Brother Aqeel! Marry me to a woman who belongs to a tribe, which is well known for its courage and bravery. I want Allah (SWT) to bless me with a son from her womb who inherits the bravery and helps this son of mine in Karbala".
Saying this, he (as) pointed towards al-Husayn (as).
Aqeel proposed to our Imam (as) the name of Fatima, daughter of Hazam, who belonged to the tribe of Banu Kilaab –well known for its courage and bravery during those days. Fatima was not an ordinary woman. She was a staunch lover and follower of Ahlul-Bayt (as) and she was very well aware of their status. Coming into this house, therefore, was the greatest honour for her. The day she stepped into the house of Ali (as), Fatima made it very clear to Imam Hasan (as) and Imam Husayn (as) that she had not come to replace their mother. Rather, she had come to them as their slave and hoped that they would accept her as that. Her love and respect for Imam Hasan (as) and Imam Husayn (as) was more than that for her own children. They were always foremost in her heart! The following incident shows the extent of love and respect she had for Imam Husayn (as):
One incident is about the time when she received the news stating the martyrdom of her four children, she said: "Tell me about Husayn (A.S.)"
And when she received the news of Imam Husayn (as)'s martyrdom she said:
"All of the arteries of my heart are torn. May all of my children and what ever that exists under this azure heaven be sacrificed for the sake of Imam Husayn (as).
Imam Ali (as) married Fatima bint Hazam and together they were blessed with four sons: Abdullah, Ja'ffar, Uthman and Abbas. It is because of the 4 sons that Fatima became known as Ummul-Baneen, meaning 'the mother of sons'.
The Wish and Prayer of Imam Ali (A.S.) Was Fulfilled
One of the bravest of the Holy Prophet's followers Ja'ffar al-Tayyar, the brother of Imam Ali (as). In the battle of Muta, Ja'ffar Tayyar carried the Banner of Islam and in that battle he was out-numbered by the enemies and killed. When the news reached the Holy Prophet he cried and prayed for Ja'ffar's soul and the angel Jibrael came down and consoled (the Prophet), saying "Ja'ffar was a brave and loyal soldier. God has given him everlasting life, and in place of two arms which were cut off in the battle, the Lord has given him a pair of wings".
Imam Ali (as), who was sitting near the Holy Prophet at that time, said, "Please pray to God that I should die fighting for the cause of Islam and become a martyr." But the Holy Prophet said, "O Ali, your death has already been decreed. You shall die in the mosque during your prayers, but the Almighty will give you a son who will die in the battle on Ashura day".
From that time Ali (as) eagerly awaited the birth of that son. This prophecy was made true on 4th Sha'ban in the year 8 A.H. when Imam Hasan (as) was 5 years old and Imam Husayn (as) was 4.

Day 2 Part 3 - Meeting with Dr. Felipe Camaro of UNHCR
In the afternoon we met with Dr. Felipe Camaro of the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to discuss the problems of returned refugees. (In Spanish: "Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados", or ACNUR.) Dr. Felipe Camaro is originally from Colombia. He has been at the UNHCR office in Guatemala for 2 1/2 years.
Dr. Felipe Camaro of the Office of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
(Translated and transcribed by Roberta Borgonovo)
Dr. Felipe Camaro of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The repatriation of refugees back to Guatemala through the United Nations started officially in 1987, but people started to come back even before that. The role of UNHCR has been to:
- Support repatriation logistics
- Provide assistance: medical, nutritional plus agricultural packages, shelter packages, and small grants in cash
- Support reintegration with programs providing social services (basic needs) and productive services (income generating activities or help with land and agriculture).
The Resettlement Accord was actually the first of the Peace Accords to be signed, and according to its timeline, in 1998 the refugee repatriation was supposed to be over. But that did not happen until June 1999. However, from 1998 the focus has mostly been on reintegration, first by locating other parties (organizations, NGOs), and then by trying to make them focus a little more on refuges issues. Unfortunately events in the past two years (elections and Hurricane Mitch) have prevented that from happening. The result was that ACNUR ended up staying longer than expected. But resources are decreasing and the ANCUR staff was reduced from 70 to 12 people.
Dr. Felipe Camaro (center) meeting with us.
There are a few critical issues to deal with. First of all, there is the problem with land titles. Second, there is a need for "productive intervention", which takes more than two years. The goal is to ease direct aid and concentrate on generative aid that would improve agricultural production. Third, housing still requires attention. The government bought houses for the returned refugees, but they are "holes", and it would have been better to just give them the resources and let them build houses. And fourth, there is a need for the normalization of social services. There are also other issues that need to be addressed, and they mostly concern women and their lack of access to cooperatives, which prevents them from owning the title to land. Currently only men and widows have access to cooperatives.
Although many of these issues were identified, ACNUR cannot really do much because it would not be part of its mandate, which is only repatriation and reintegration. Besides, returned refugees might become conditioned to receive without effort, and the prolonged state of emergency would be more harmful than helpful.
Dr. Camaro during a moment of levity.
ACNUR deals only with externally displaced people, and not internally displaced (or at least not directly). ACDP is actually an organization dealing with internal refugees. The main problem with internally displaced people is in determining who they are. There are no criteria: how can they be defined, for how long can they be considered as displaced people etc. Before any definition was considered, it was thought that about 1 million people were internally displaced in Guatemala, but now only between 100 and 200 thousand.
The repatriation program was only for those who registered as refugees or lived in refugees camps. Some exceptions were made for those who really wanted to return to Guatemala; on the other hand many registered refugees did not want to return. About 43,000 refugees returned to Guatemala.
Overall the repatriation to Guatemala was different from others because refugees negotiated their own rights, while ACNUR provided resources and witnessed the process. Also, although resources fluctuated from low to high, it was in general a luxurious repatriation in comparison with other refugee repatriations. As for the access to land, although there were problems with titles, most refugees had access to land (previously bought by the government for them). And finally, there was a clear focus on agricultural and legal integration.

Continence triage service direct to GPs.
Combination of 2 medical devices and web based algorithm to process data. Delivered as a continence triage service direct to GPs - fully developed but not yet implemented.
Continence problems affect 50% of the population at some point. There are currently 2.3 million people being treated by NHS for continence problems and growing at 9% pa. Based on HSG coding/cost data - this costs NHS £280m in 2009 and estimated to cost £400m by 2014.
A continence triage service called Elaros was developed. The service is underpinned by several established technologies which when combined with a Bladder Management software package allow patient data to be digitally recorded and displayed in a clinically valid manor allowing the doctor to make an informed decision about whether to refer or self treat.
(1) 45% of patients referred to outpatient clinic have potential for treatment in community. GP's using Elaros will be better informed on whether to refer patients (based on NICE guidelines).
(2) Lower initial and follow-up costs (up to a 20-35% reduction in appointment and diagnostic costs).
(3) Clinical utility around replacement of manually logged data (paper diary) with electronic patient data.
(1) Patient has greater involvement with diagnosis and management of condition – evidence to suggest better patient outcomes (Also fits in with PROMs).
(2) Convenience of providing data in comfort of own home.


Even better than last week's post! The colors are amazing and each door is more charming than the previous. A neighborhood filled these doors would be picture perfect! Can you imagine?
Beautiful doors were everywhere! Even the ones in disrepair (more next week) were intriguing. I would love it if we had unique doors like this in my neighborhood.
Thank you! I love sharing them with other door aficionados.
Wow Janis! These are all absolutely stunning!
Thank you, Lynn. I love the idea that each one was designed/chosen by the homeowner or shop owner to reflect their unique style.
I love all the vivid colors!!
I love a colourful door, and your photos don't disappoint.
Me too… I love color and lively contrasts.
Sorry for the duplicate Janis, first one shouldn't have gone through!
Janis – These doors are phenomenal! The rich paint colours, contrasts, ironwork and stonework are incredible. Your photography captures this all perfectly. I look forward to next week's post!
Hi Donna! Next up are the weathered doors… although several could go into multiple groups.
These are all stunning! You know there is more beauty and magic inside. Makes me want to visit Mexico!
I know… if I were braver I would have knocked on a few of the doors just to get a peek inside.
What a colorful place – the doors are wonderful!
Thank you… I'm a big fan of bold colors.
Ha! Thank you, Judy! There were so many to choose from when I reviewed my pictures. These were some of my favorites.
These doors were lovely and fun.
I wonder what is behind it? It looks like it leads into a open area… but what is there?
The doors and windows in that first shot are incredible, Janis! And the bougainvillea vines framing the door…wow! Thanks for sharing!
I loved that building! I took a bunch of pictures from several angles to try to get the whole thing in my frame but wasn't able too. Oh, and that door with the bougainvillea… I love how they trained the vines to grow just so.
I love them all, but the bougainvillea vining around the door is my favorite. When that plant fill in a get bigger, it's going to be gorgeous.
Thanks, Janis, for sharing your beautiful selection of doors. Each is a beauty.
These are wonderful doors. I love the blue one inside the brick surround.
We watched some stone work being done on a wall of a new house. The work was amazing… especially considering they had very few tools that we would consider crucial for the job.
You must have captured an incredible number of doors to be able to even divide them into groups. Great job!
I didn't want to overload anyone. And, yes, I have a lot of door pictures (it's an obsession 🙂 ).
To put it positively, it's a passion.
I like that blue door. I agree with you about the contrast. It's perfect.
There is something about a blue door that is so welcoming.
The colors used in Latin America always please my eye. I wish we were bolder with color on our homes in the US. Lovely photos. I enjoyed them very much!
It's like they have a whole different palette than we do. Bold and happy.
Just beautiful Janis and the colors look like an ad for Sherwin-Williams Paint store – all so colorful! You sure have captured a flavor of the City with these pictures. I will check out Norm's pics too.
You should consider joining in on the Thursday Doors link-up sometime. With all your walkabouts, I'm sure you spy some interesting doors now and then.
Truly beautiful. I agree with you about the blue door with the ironwork; there is much to love about that one!
What a collection you captured. It's been many, many years since I was in Mexico, but you certainly brought my mind back to Mexico.
Oh, why can't I edit my comment? Haha – you brought my mind back to Spain!
Spain is definitely on my list! I imagine I'd see very similar architecture and love of design and color.
There's also the Moorish architecture to take in while in the south of Spain. Gorgeous and an interesting tie to the country's history and changing culture.
Wow, super amazing and colorful, Janis! Sure puts our suburban doors to shame!
I know, Terri… we are pretty boring in this country.
Thank you, Norm! I hope that you can make a doorscursion to Mexico sometime… you'd be in door heaven!
I'm loving each of those blue doors, but the last photo with the vine covered blue wall is a serious contender!!
I remember coming across that door framed in the bougainvillea and falling in love. I felt like leaving a thank you note for the homeowners.
All these amazing Mexican doors make me wonder (and forgive me if I've asked and you've answered) – Any idea why this tradition hasn't been embraced with the same fervour in North America? Do you think they'd only look this good when set in terra cotta or stone?
I imagine that, without the big box stores like Home Depot, each door needs to be made individually. Plus, bright colors and beautifully carved wood is a tradition that goes way back in Mexico (perhaps the Spanish influence?). We tend to be much more conservative and prefer to blend in, I think. Every once in a while I come across a unique door here, but not very often. I agree… we should have more!
Loved this collection! If you have more, I say bring 'em on!
I have enough for the next few weeks… I hope you continue to enjoy them.
I am loving your series on the doors of San Miguel. I am so impressed with the craftsmanship of the doors and their settings against colorful and rough-hewn rock facades. I can only imagine how beautiful the interiors must be.
I would have loved to invite myself inside. I bet that you'll see some gorgeous doors in Spain!
The first door is my favorite. I also love the edit you made to the photograph. These rich colors are a photographers dream!
Thank you! I think that just about every time I walked by that building (which was often), I took another picture so I have them from different times of day. This one had the best wash of light which made it glow.
These doors are fabulous! I'll go about my day now, inspired by your images of doors. Doors are symbolic, as well—they are portals through which we pass as we experience life.
So true. I think that is why so many of us are attracted to doors and feel compelled to take pictures of them.
These are gorgeous. The colors are awesome!
Thank you… I think the colors reflect the warmth of the people who live there.
These are just wonderful, so colorful and happy-making, both doors and homes. Thanks.
They sure made me happy! Fortunately, my husband is very patient as I take all my door pictures (sometimes acting as a model).
Thank you! Mexico has an endless supply of gorgeous doors to photograph.
The second door in the stone wall was my fav!
Hi Jude! I loved the color of that door and the iron gate in front of it. So much to like about this one.

Movie Review: 'Bird Box' is a reminder that quality films aren't just on the big screen
By Nyle Coleman
Director: Susanne Bier
Writers: Eric Heisserer (screenplay), Josh Malerman (novel)
Stars: Sandra Bullock, Trevante Rhodes, John Malkovich
Synopsis: Five years after an ominous unseen presence drives most of society to suicide, a mother and her two children make a desperate bid to reach safety.
I ran into an article the other day that went over the history of Sandra Bullock's career and it had me wondering what was the last of her films I had seen. It turned out it was Gravity back in 2013 which really surprised me. I had always respected Bullock as an actor yet I hadn't realized she had not been cast it much since Gravity (Her last major role was in Ocean's Eight which I happened to miss in theaters). My thoughts quickly turned to wonder where I would rank Bullock among other actors and my gut told me she would be pretty high. And it is because of this I had been quite anxious about catching Bird Box, her newest film and Netflix original movie. I knew very little about the film other than the basic plot but the interesting combination of Bullock and Netflix caught my attention and for good reason. In addition to taking over social media with the countless Bird Box memes, the film has been receiving some positive accolades and I have to agree, the film is a captivating thriller.
Bird Box's plot may sound familiar: A mysterious and seemingly global catastrophe occurs when a strange phenomenon begins driving sane people to commit suicide. The first thing that came to mind was M. Night Shyamalan's 2008 film The Happening, a decent film but not among my favorites of Shyamalan's work. The films though are quite different in tone and execution. Bird Box does a better job of establishing rules regarding the phenomenon which isn't a slight against The Happening, honestly the mystery of the "how" and "why" fit better for the film as well as Shyamalan's directing and writing style. Bird Box also has a much darker tone to it and has the feel of a post-apocalyptic film, it can be unsettling at times. Susanne Bier's directing style and sense of tension will have you holding your breath. She makes it very easy to put yourself in the survivor's shoes especially Malorie (Sandra Bullock). There are also some absolutely heartbreaking moments that almost had me in tears. I won't go into details but I will say, Vivien Lyra Blair, as "Girl", is just amazing and although she doesn't get a lot of screen time she is a very memorable character in the film.
The pacing is perfect, the film really dives right into the plot and you won't have to wait too long to start seeing the world fall apart and the pieces set in place. One warning, the film doesn't flow in a linear way chronologically, it bounces back and forth temporally unraveling the fate of the survivors. It didn't bother me but I find it worth mentioning as I have had others tell me it threw them off a bit. Although the pacing is great I did find the script and dialogue in the first act a little wanting. It isn't bad by any means but it didn't quite grab me right away. The word I would use to describe the first act is "awkward", it took some time to fully realize some of the characters motivations and for the story to settle in. Once you get past that the remainder of the film is a very pleasurable viewing experience. The story begins to show direction and unravel and the tension really starts to mount and you will find yourself not wanting to miss a beat.
One thing that caught me off guard was the cast as there are a few well-known names I went in totally unaware are attached to the film. We have a John Malkovich sighting who plays Douglas an annoyingly impolite and paranoid survivor and neighbor to Greg, played by BD Wong, another actor I respect and always enjoy seeing on-screen, whose house the survivors hole up in. Sarah Paulson also stars as Malorie's sister Jessica and Moonlight's Trevante Rhodes provides one of the better performances in the film as Tom who takes on a leadership role within the group. There are a few other familiar but fresh faces that you may recognize from some recent films. Bullock is the one that really shines here though, she does an outstanding job and her performance made me realize how much I miss seeing her on-screen. She has a certain kind of charisma and presence that makes her stand out in any performance and she really nails it with Malorie in Bird Box. With the exception of her and Rhodes though nothing else really stands out performance wise, each cast member does a fair job in their role and capturing their characters strengths and flaws.
The trailer and synopsis for Bird Box had me hesitant, I wasn't sure the film could manage the combination of being compelling as well as giving the audience a satisfying story from beginning to end. But Bier and team really came through, the film exceeded my expectations and at the same time reawakened my faith in Netflix films. It has its flaws and requires the viewer to stretch their imagination a bit but overall I was impressed. I am sure this won't be a popular opinion but I actually would put this film over A Quiet Place, a similar 2018 film that many seem to compare to Bird Box. Although A Quiet Place did a better job all around with character development, Bird Box's story kept me more engaged and I found myself more involved in the plot and mystery. A Quiet Place is a fine film, the margin between the two is small but Bird Box has the edge and I have already recommended it to many of my friends. I cannot wait to see what else Netflix has up its sleeves and I am happy to say Sandra Bullock is back on my cinema radar. I am looking forward to seeing what 2019 has in store for both.

As the number and diversity of electronic commerce participants grows, the complexity of purchasing from a vast and dynamic array of goods and services needs to be hidden from the end user. Putting the complexity into the commerce system instead means providing flexible middleware for enabling commerce within different commercial communities.
In this paper, we present one such commerce middleware component -- an Auction Manager designed to simplify and automate both the creation of new markets and the matching of users to existing markets. The Auction Manager determines which markets are appropriate for a given buyer or seller using market-specific inference rules applied to the current market offerings. We also show how these same inference rules can be used by the Auction Manager to automatically compose and decompose market offerings to respond to changing conditions within the marketplace. Finally, we describe how the Auction Manager provides a focal point for expressing policy decisions such as how much to charge for starting and running auctions, as well as who and when to charge.


We want to reform pain treatment worldwide! This is an international site on palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), an natural molecule and effective painkiller. The site makes people (patients, therapists and MDs) aware that natural and body-own compounds can be effective, safe and useful in the treatment of many chronic pain states and inflammatory disorders. The site Pea4Pain has been created in 2011. Since that time many hundreds of papers have been published on the site in various languages: English, Dutch, German, Italian, Spanish. This is because the main function of this site is to be a international data-pool for all information on PEA, regardless the language. Everyone is invited to sent their questions and experiences with PEA to Pea4Pain@hotmail.com or to share in on the blog itself. Palmitoylethanolamide is available under 3 main brandnames: Normast (since 2007), PeaPure (since 2012) and PeaVera (since 2014), and is also available as Palmitoylethanolamide cream. Normast is produced in Italy and available in Italy and Spain. It is classified as dietfood for medical purposes and this classification is not valid for other countries. In Italy other PEA products are also available at the local pharmacists: Pelvilen, Adolene, Mastocol, Visimast, Glialia, Nevamast to mention a few. Most of these brands contain the same PEA, but are marketed for different target indications. PeaPure is a new formulation of palmitoylethanolamide and contains pure palmitoylethanolamide, free of sorbitol and magnesium stearate or colorants such as titan dioxide. PeaPure is GMP-produced in the Netherlands and available via the internet as a food supplement. Since 2014 PeaVera entered the Italian market as dietfood for medical purposes. Palmitoylethanolamide has become a breakthrough natural therapy due to the work of professor Rita Levi-Montalcini in the period 1992-1996, a Nobel laureate. This website is a tribute to her work. Constructed by a number of life-scientists and MDs who want to reform pain-treatment and treatment of chronic inflammation. This website does not give medical advices, please consult an MD in case of medical issues. Questions from therapists and patients are welcome on Pea4Pain@hotmail.com We also welcome all kinds of info on PEA, as personal experiences with PEA products etc, in order to help us build the largest database ever on palmitoylethanolamide! Your help is much appreciated.


With Congress asking what capacity directly contribute to the lethal fight, and what capacity the services could shed to save money, we could avoid a BRAC altogether. One way to slim down the bases' budgets may be to shed capacity that do not directly support the lethal fight and negotiate with local communities for such services that are shed. Some of that critical support can come in the form of school choice for military personnel, tax relief for active duty and reserve personnel on active duty. Taking these actions will only help further strengthen the military and community relationship and will send a message to Department of Defense senior leaders that Middle Georgia is all in when it comes to supporting their men and women in uniform.

Iran, China sign 100 billion dollar gas deal
AFP: Iran and China have signed a preliminary accord under which China would buy 10 million tonnes a year of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for 25 years in a deal worth 100 billion dollars, the student news agency ISNA said Friday. ISNA quoted Deputy Oil Minister Hadi Nejad-Hosseinian as saying the deal could eventually reach 15 to 20 million tonnes a year, taking the total value to as much as 200 billion dollars. AFP
TEHRAN - Iran and China have signed a preliminary accord under which China would buy 10 million tonnes a year of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for 25 years in a deal worth 100 billion dollars, the student news agency ISNA said Friday.
ISNA quoted Deputy Oil Minister Hadi Nejad-Hosseinian as saying the deal could eventually reach 15 to 20 million tonnes a year, taking the total value to as much as 200 billion dollars.
Delivery could not begin for at least five years, as Iran must first build the plants to liquefy the natural gas.
The memorandum of understanding also grants to Chinese oil giant Sinopec the right to exploit the Yadavaran oil field on a buy-back basis in cooperation with a major international oil company.
Experts say that after Yadavaran is developed, which is expected to take four years, it will have a production capacity of 300,000 barrels per day. Of that, Sinopec would take 150,000 bpd.

In Siberia you can now sunbathe: wave global warming alarm (The Times, UK)
June 10, 2020 IMMScience
The opportunity to sunbathe on the sun is not the first thing that comes to mind at the mention of Siberia, a huge and sparsely populated Russian region, stretching all the way to the Arctic and covered with snow during the greater part of the year.
Recently, however, on this cold area, covered with birch forests and the prison camps, was struck by an unprecedented heat wave — and people began to absorb sunlight, including on rooftops of their homes. "I was born in Siberia and lived here for 60 years. But I do not remember any spring, which would be similar to this," said journalist Sergei Sobchuk (Sergey Zubchuk).
As it turned out, the Europeans were not alone in their enjoyment of meteorological anomalies and the solar spring in the entire history of observations. From the coast of California to Central India, the temperature has risen to an unprecedented level.
Record temperatures were recorded throughout Canada and in the Arctic, in the Mediterranean; this trend was reflected in the southern hemisphere, and as a result, despite the impending winter, the South island in New Zealand in may the temperature reached 26 degrees Celsius, 10 degrees above average daytime temperatures.
In Khatanga, the remote Russian village, located North of the Arctic circle, 23 may was recorded the temperature at 25 degrees Celsius. That's 13 degrees higher than in may last year — the month when the temperature there typically does not rise above minus 2 degrees Celsius.
In other regions of Siberia in may the temperature reached 35 degrees Celsius, which is approximately two times higher than the normal values. According to journalist Subcuta living in Barnaul, a city in the South of Siberia and its neighbors in these very warm days sunbathing on the roofs of their cottages.
Apple and cherry trees bloom four weeks earlier than normal, he added. The snow, which in this region is gradually melting in the month of April — and this year it was more than usual — I almost melted one day after the arrival of the heat. According to Sobchaka, it was so hot that he for the first time in the spring, was forced to sleep with the Windows wide open.
While the inhabitants of Siberia and the Europeans got the opportunity to enjoy the sun, scientists see this as an additional disturbing evidence of climate change, if they ever need someone. "Maybe the vaccine will find a way out of the pandemic coronavirus, but there is no return to normal weather," said Doug Parr (Parr Doug), chief specialist of the British branch of the organization "Greenpeace" (Greenpeace).
Climatologist Christy Gave (Kristy Dahl), who study the dangerous effects of extreme heat, alarmed by the coincidence in time of a pandemic coronavirus and the period of abnormally high temperature. "Many of the ways in which we usually cope with extreme weather, can lose its effectiveness," she said. She also noted the fact that such public space with air conditioning as libraries and community centres (community centres) are closed today. Emergency services are experiencing a lot of stress in their work, and their staff are less able to deal with emergencies related to weather anomalies.
For Robinson, Annika (Annika Robinson), a disabled veteran residing in the town of sandy valley (Sandy Valley) in the suburbs of Las Vegas, life has become more like a struggle for survival, when in late April the temperature rose to 37 degrees Celsius.
In a normal situation, she would be able to cool off under the air conditioner at the local hospital. However, the mode of isolation and the threat of infection by the coronavirus led to the fact that she was forced to suffer at home. Many residents turned to their neighbours to quickly repair a cooling system or fans that they managed to find. During this period, some people have lost their livestock.
In may in various parts of California were broken temperature records, and the state Governor Gavin Newsom (Gavin Newsom) has angered local residents that closed the beaches just at the moment when crowds of people tried to cool off.
Intense heat spread throughout the Mediterranean region, and Israel before the time weakened the regime of self-isolation and re-opened in the coastal parts of the cities. However, the beaches remained closed in neighboring Lebanon, what made suffering from the heat of the inhabitants of Beirut to set up inflatable pools on the balconies and on rooftops.
Cyprus has turned into an Inferno, and there was seen in may, the hottest day in the entire history of observations 42.5 degree Celsius. Police have discharged the fines residents for being on the beach, if they continued to stay there after bathing is allowed.
Perhaps the most significant impact of the pandemic coronavirus in combination with the heat was reported in India, where thousands of migrant workers heading to their homeland, were forced to walk at very high temperature to pass many kilometers, some of them could not stand such a test and died. At the end of may in Delhi established the extraordinary heat of 47.6 degrees Celsius, and thereby set a record for that month.
According to experts, the year 2020 may become one of the five warmest in history of meteorological observations, and it is possible that unusually hot spring was merely a prelude to an even hotter summer. Perhaps in Siberia is still come nice and hot weather, but in other places, according to Doug Parr, the high temperature can be a problem. "Permanently in some places will be very, very difficult," he added.

The memes featured photos of the 14-year-old with homophobic slurs. A warrant was issued for Brown's arrest last June, after his probation officer said he tested positive for cocaine in a urine test. You don't listen to what anybody says because at the end of the day that's their issue that they're dealing with. He was to be jailed in the Norfolk County House of Correction. In her speech, Brown quoted the late Hepburn saying, 'As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands: one for helping others and one for helping yourself.

Being a teenager, you don't know who you are, so, it's like people are hating on someone, you don't really know who you hate. I was with my whole family. That Whitney's family is concerned about her. I think, you know, Season 1 was, you know, pretty, it was pretty small. Interior shot of Houston and Brown walking 3.
In the same interview, Houston acknowledged taking cocaine and pills and smoking marijuana. Medium of Millie Bobbie approaching the podium 4. Brown, 35, was released Monday, three days early, from the Georgia jail where he had been serving a 60-day sentence on a probation violation stemming from a drunk driving charge. But yes, one time, I woke up, and yeah, a ghost. How you would say uses American accent 'grander. The British actress says she's had a famous friend to lean on when it comes to growing up in the business.
And then Season 3 is just, like, crazy. Bobby Brown with kids 6. She later pleaded no contest and the case was dismissed. Medium of Millie Bobbie Brown beside the podium 3. Their little family is cute. Brown's attorney, Bruce Lyons, said the singer should be with his wife Whitney Houston in time for their eight wedding anniversary on July 18th. My mum was like, 'don't look at it, don't look at it.
Authorities found prescription drugs in the suite and evidence of heart disease and cocaine in her body but determined her death was an accidental drowning. I think, you know, Season 1 was, you know, pretty, it was pretty small. R Kelly took to the podium to sing I Look To You and was visibly shaken and tearful. And then Season 3 is just, like, crazy. And it's definitely a great way to, you know, communicate with the fans, so social media isn't all that bad. It was a great moment for my whole family.
Bobby Brown with Kids 3. He posted bond at the Atlanta jail, but Sgt. But it's definitely a great way to put things out there, publicize what you're doing.

It's about who you are as a person, and I think that's just - it's very hard at this age. It's starting to - it's a little much. But it's definitely a great way to put things out there, publicize what you're doing. You rise above the hate. Mayor Bill Edwards reads one of three proclamations out loud at the proclamation press conference 7. I mean, it's like a crazy moment for each character, but, yeah, I think it's everything the fan wants.
