Major Tall Ferns and Tall Blacks announcements
The Tall Blacks playing group for the upcoming FIBA international window has been named ahead of the announcement of the new Tall Ferns head coach due in the next fourty-eight hours.
The MBO New Zealand Tall Blacks coach Paul Henare has named a largely predictable squad for the upcoming FIBA World Cup Qualifying games in China and Korea although there are a couple of changes from the group that played Korea and Hong Kong in November.
Not surprisingly Mika Vukona has been spared a couple of long international flights with Dan Fotu and Ethan Rubatch added to the other thirteen that assembled in Wellington last year.
Former Rangitoto College standout Fotu, currently a development player with the Breakers, has been named with an eye on the future and if selected in the final 12, will join his older brother Isaac who will join the team from the German League.
Rusbatch played last year in the Asia Cup and is recalled to the squad, presumably with one eye on the Commonwealth Games in April when it is unlikely that the European based guards – Tai and Corey Webster – will be available.
The squad of 15 will be reduced to 12 following the completion of the NBL regular season at the weekend. Those 12 players will assemble in China on February 20th to begin training for the crucial games against China (February 23rd) and Korea (February 26th) as they continue towards the ultimate goal, a place at the 2019 FIBA World Cup and the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
The two road games against the strongest contenders in World Cup Qualifying Group A have assumed greater importance with the Tall Blacks dropping the home tie against Korea in November, before an easy defeat of Hong Kong away from home.
Henare has named 15 players to cover the event of injury or unavailability, with many players involved in club games this weekend, including the SKYCITY Breakers as they face two games in three days, playing the Illawarra Hawks at home on Friday night, before travelling to Sydney to play the Kings on Sunday to round out their regular season in the NBL.
"We have reviewed and gone over November's window in fine detail, but the bottom line is we didn't come out firing, we weren't as ready as we should have been against Korea in Wellington.
"This window has an even tighter schedule, we will get together for the first time as a group in China, have two days on the floor and then go to battle against a very good side, arguably one of the toughest in the world to beat at home.
"We have and will continue to do all we can to learn from November's experience, to be ready and to play as we expect the Tall Blacks to play, fighting for every possession, punching above our weight and not taking a backward step."
The team has plenty of experience to all on in the likes of Tom Abercrombie, Corey Webster, and Jarrod Kenny, while Isaac Fotu and Tai Webster will make the trip from Germany where both are putting up good numbers in one of Europe's best professional leagues.
Also included are Shea Ili, Reuben Te Rangi, Jordan Ngatai, Derone Raukawa and Finn Delany – all playing in the Australian League and all played big minutes at the 2017 Asia Cup in Beirut. Te Rangi will again captain the side.
The team is well served in the size department too, with Breakers centre's Rob Loe and Alex Pledger leading the front court, along with Tohi Smith-Milner, who has impressed with Melbourne United this season.
Vukona was not cleared by the Breakers medical team as he continues to manage his way through a busy end to the regular season.
"The advice on Mika is that he shouldn't travel and play in these games and has therefore not been released. He remains an integral part of our group however and plays a huge role what we are trying to achieve in the long term."
Henare will leave a final decision on the 12 to travel until the last moment, with a final check on fitness before players board planes from various parts of the world after games this weekend.
The bulk of the team will depart from Sydney on Monday 19th, following the completion of NBL games over the weekend.

A Q&A with John Gray + Bruce Cole
David Bruce Smith and co-host Hope Katz Gibbs interview John Gray, the director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, and Bruce Cole, the former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities — two men who have spent their careers bringing history to life.
http://gratefulamericanfoundation.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Grateful-American_-ep14_-John-Gray-Bruce-Cole.mp3
In this podcast you'll learn:
Research shows how little too many Americans know about the topic. Why is that?
What can be done to get people interested in American history?
Is there more the government can do?
How can teachers be more empowered to bring history to life?
What can parents and grandparents do to educate kids about American history?
About John Gray
John has been the Director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History since July 23, 2012. He oversees 234 employees, a budget of more than $34 million and the renewal of the museum's 120,000-square-foot west exhibition wing with its new exhibit spaces, interior public plazas, a Hall of Music for live performances, a modern education center and a gallery for the Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation.
Prior to this job, John spent much of his career in banking and government service until he became director of the Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Los Angeles. There, he enlarged the museum's mission and scope, and, in 2002, merged the museum with Colorado's Women of the West Museum and, in 2004, with Los Angeles' oldest museum, the Southwest Museum of the American Indian.
About Bruce Cole
Bruce is a Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., a member of the Eisenhower Memorial Commission, and a former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
There, he managed a budget of $150 million and a staff of 170, and was responsible for awards totaling over $800 million. Appointed by President George W. Bush and unanimously confirmed by the Senate in 2001 and again in 2005, Cole is the longest serving Chairman of the NEH.
Under his leadership, the NEH launched key initiatives, including We the People, a program designed to encourage the teaching, study, and understanding of American history and culture, and Picturing America, which used great American art to teach our nation's history and culture in 80,000 schools and public libraries nationwide.

WWE appears to be in the early planning stages for SummerSlam.
Obviously, things can change because we are so many months away and nothing is set in stone but, as reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there has been an idea pitched to have Becky Lynch vs. Stephanie McMahon at SummerSlam. Another company source said the match is being talked about.
Although WWE indicated last month that they were going to get rid of authority figures, it looks like the McMahon's will be on TV more frequently and it looked like Stephanie McMahon is turning heel again.
Stephanie appears to be playing the Mr. McMahon role from the late 90s and Lynch looks to be playing the Stone Cold Steve Austin role.

How high are realtors´ and lawyers´ fees in Dominica? What about other property purchase costs?
How difficult is the property purchase process in Dominica?
For foreigners, the Alien Land Holding License Regulation Act, No. 17 of 1995 of the Laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica, provides for the issuance of Alien Land Holding License.
An alien may hold less than one (1) acre of land for residential purposes or less than three (3) acres of land for commercial purposes without obtaining an alien land holding license. However, the alien land holding license fee of 10% of the value of the land is still payable.
Citizens of the Organisation of East Caribbean States (OECS) do not need to acquire an alien land holding license. OECS-member states are Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent & the Grenadines.
Foreigners may also be asked to present other information and documents for transparency as a precaution against money laundering.
It takes around 19 to 65 days to complete the five procedures needed to register a property in Dominica.
Dominica uses the East Caribbean Dollar (XCD) which is pegged to the US Dollar (USD) at USD1 = XCD2.70.
Under the Aliens (Landholding Regulation) Act, No. 17 of 1995, all non-citizens of Dominica are required to obtain an Alien Landholding License to own more than one acre of residential land or three acres of commercial land. The license fee is 10% of the market value of the land. Aliens may own less than an acre of residential land or three acres of commercial land without a license but they still have to pay the 10% license fee.
The use of lawyers for property sale and purchase is mandatory. Legal fees are regulated and set at 3% of property value plus 15% Value Added Tax (VAT).
Judicial fee is around 2.5% of property value and it is paid to the Accountant General´s Office by the buyer.
Assurance Fund fee (1% of property value) for the Memorandum of Transfer is paid to the Accountant General´s Office by the buyer.
Stamp duty on conveyance of real property is 6.5% of property value: 4% is paid by the buyer and 2.5% is paid by the seller.
Real estate agent´s fee is typically 5% of purchase price.
How landlord-friendly is the law in Dominica?


Glen Templeton's debut single "I Could Be the One" was originally recorded by Billy Ray Cyrus for his 2009 album Back to Tennessee but it was not released as a single.

Templeton's second EP titled Let Her Go featured the singles "Sing That Song Again" and "Ball Cap" and was released on July 29, 2014. In 2015 Templeton and his record label Black River Entertainment parted ways. Templeton's latest single release "Hip To Be Country" debuted in 2018.

I'm in no rush to work: Bidita bag | Bollywood
By Jacqueline A. Menchaca	 Last updated Jan 9, 2022
After completing five new projects and six already aired during the pandemic, actor Bidita Bag feels the need to take it slow
After completing five new projects and six already aired during the pandemic, actor Bidita Bag feels the need to slow down. After completing the shooting of a film in Vrindavan, the Babumoshai Bandookbaaz The actor is currently in his hometown of Kolkata spending some quality time with his parents.
"I took off for a few days. It's just a coincidence that cases started to spike when my intention was just to take a regular break. I worked continuously during the pandemic, so you need to rest and rejuvenate. Working back to back exhausts an actor and if you don't cool off, you won't have anything new to offer the audience, "says Bag.
Bidita in Prem Mandir, Vrindavan. (Instagram)
His projects published during the pandemic were Bhaukaal, Abhay2, The missing stone, Call of Fauji, Teen do paanch and Ray (Bahrupriya).
"It's time for me to work on my health, my body and my art. The music had taken a step back, so I'm catching that up these days – vocals, guitar and ukulele. In addition, I read books and spend time with parents. At the moment, I am in no rush to work. I have to assess my placement, my roles and my branding in terms of work, because it matters a lot.
Bag has completed three shows and two OTT series that she hopes to release consecutively this year.

Part of the Hayman Burn, July 2008.
Eight years after the Hayman Burn scorched 138,000 acres of land, the largest wildfire in Colorado history, the Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) has transplanted Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep into their historic habitat.
Nine female and three male bighorn sheep from the Rampart Range herd near Colorado Springs were released within the perimeter of the burn on January 11th and 12th of this year. This area is adjacent to habitat occupied by the Tarryall-Kenosha Mountains bighorn sheep herd.
Wildfire can be good for wildlife. In this case, plant growth since the early 1900's had covered the site in dense forest, which precluded bighorn sheep use for the last 50 years. However, the massive fire cleaned out large areas of dense trees, improving the habitat potential for sheep. Bighorns typically thrive in steep, broken terrain devoid of dense vegetation. In Colorado, they prefer habitat dominated by grass, low shrubs, and rocky terrain for escape.
DOW biologists, working with additional funds from the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society, began studying the site for reintroduction in 2006. GIS mapping analysis and site visits confirmed that conditions were ripe for the return of the bighorns. Five years after the burn, the site had not grown over with the previously thick tree canopy.
Ten of the twelve sheep, nine ewes and one ram, were radio collared prior to release and are being monitored regularly. Since the release, their movements indicate the bighorns have been exploring a five-mile radius around the release site and have stayed within the perimeter of the Hayman Burn. Additional sheep will likely be transported to the area next year. The sheep will continue to be monitored for the next several years, as DOW studies the success of the transplant.

During my recent trip to San Diego for the ISTE conference, I was invited to attend a reception put on by the organization called My Hero Project. I knew no one when I walked in the door, but in true conference fashion was sitting and talking with people within seconds. I spent the next two hours in conversation with Susan from Hawaii, Linda from New York and Check from Sudan. They all explained how this project has added to and made their lives better.
Throughout my teaching career, I have chosen many different themes to help me plan, but when I think about what stands out for me "tolerance of differences" has certainly been something I have continued to fall back to. Having students read novels where the main character is a different religion or race than them has been a dominant theme in my ELA courses. But really it's not the differences that connect us is it? It's the similarities. Being able to meet and talk with so many teachers at ISTE was an honour and pleasure. So out with "tolerance of differences" and in with ?????
Your suggestions are very welcome.

Coming of Age in Mississippi
Anne Moody
Anne Moody (Essie Mae)
Toosweet Davis (Mama)
Mrs. Burke
Anne Moody and Coming of Age in Mississippi Background
Moody repeatedly uses food to remind readers of the extreme poverty in which she grows up. For most of her childhood, Moody and her family live a hand-to-mouth existence. On many days, they truly eat nothing but bread and beans. In good times, they supplement their diets with table scraps and milk or peanut butter from middle-class white families. Moody rarely makes any mention of the suffering that accompanies this deprivation, but the details alone are enough to make the reader dizzy.
Food is also used to mark the powerful distinctions in status between blacks and whites. Food is representative of the difference in wealth between blacks and whites, as when the Moody family survives on the white Cook family's table scraps, and Toosweet steals corn meant for the Cooks' cows. Food is also indicative of how dependent middle-class white families are on blacks: Moody notes that these families seem unable to cook for themselves, and many do not even know how to prepare food hygienically. Moody also uses food to draw attention to the low regard in which some whites hold blacks, as when a white woman lets her cats drink out of the vat of milk that she then sells to black people. Generosity with food is also a sign that a white person is kind to blacks, as when the Claibornes invite Anne to dinner, and Mrs. Claiborne gives her candy and hot dogs.
Skin-color gradations among blacks greatly affect the characters in Coming of Age. Lighter-skinned blacks, whom Anne calls "mulatto" or "yellow," often try to carve out a higher social status for themselves, despite the fact that they are legally no better off than blacks relative to whites. Thus, the motif of skin color draws attention to an important theme of Coming of Age: the evil of disunity in the black community. The fact that so many blacks look almost like white people also highlights another important theme: that racial distinctions are ultimately absurd, since they are socially constructed and have no real basis in physical reality. Finally, the fact that some lighter-skinned blacks are prejudiced against darker-skinned blacks, and that Anne herself becomes so suspicious of lighter-skinned blacks that she herself becomes prejudiced, serves to highlight the theme of how destructive prejudice can be.
Prejudice, while intangible, is a powerful force in Coming of Age. This motif appears in every chapter. There is the prejudice of whites against blacks, and also the prejudice of lighter-skinned blacks toward darker-skinned blacks, and of people with money against people who are poorer than they are. Anne experiences each kind of prejudice painfully. Anne even herself becomes prejudiced against whites and lighter-skinned blacks. Finally, after meeting lighter-skinned blacks and whites, particularly southern whites, who do not look down on her, Anne accepts that not all members of these groups are untrustworthy.

Anne Moody (Essie Mae): Character Analysis CHARACTERS


Do I Keep the Plates When Sell My Car?
This can vary from state to state but in most states, the seller has to keep the plates and the new owner has to register the car in their name and get new plates. However, in a few other states, the previous owner can leave the plates on the vehicle. The plate number will be the same and only the car registration would change under the new owner's name.
A vehicle's license plate number indicates the registration of a specific car to a specific owner in the majority of Australian states. You could find yourself liable for any infractions or violations committed by the car's new owner if you accidentally leave the plates on your car when you sell it, due to state law concerning owner liability.
Owner liability means that the car owner is liable for the things done with that vehicle. You should check with your local DMV and find out whether you can keep the plates in your state or not in order to avoid any chance of getting in trouble with the law. Owner liability applies to crime, parking violations and impounds fees as well.
The best approach is to meet the buyer directly at your local DMV and apply for the new title together if you are unsure whether you need to keep the plates or not when buying a car registered out-of-state. This way the buyer and seller both can remain compliant with state regulation and you would not have to drive the car to the new owner before it is registered.
Upon the sale, most license plates that are standardized transfer with the vehicle. DMV requires you to hand over the old plates so that they can reissue them to a new buyer. But sometimes there are specialized plates that the owner is allowed to keep. All he needs to do is simply take the plates off of the vehicle and inform the DMV about it. Remember, these specialized plates use a combination of numbers, letters and characters to spell out special words, phrases or name. However, these combinations of letters and numbers should not be vulgar, offensive or owned by anyone else.

We begin taking orders in October for shipment or pick-up in January and February.
Quantities of many plants is very limited. Don't be disappointed–order soon! To get first dibs, it's best to get on our mailing list and get the first email we send out.
Welcome to our brand new offering of heirloom fruit, nuts, grapes and lilacs discovered and propagated by our crew of fruit explorers here in the Northern Sierra! We have been searching for, tasting, evaluating and researching these heirloom varieties from the early mining days for over 40 years. This is the seventh year of our nursery catalog, and you will find we have greatly expanded our offerings, now with 75 varieties! We are so excited to have you put our babies in your garden, orchard or farm and share with us the mysteries and joys of growing delicious heirloom fruits, grapes and nuts.
We would be happy to help you select the best varieties and species for your site, and look forward to your decades of pleasure from our efforts.
Every plant comes with a story. Plant a piece of pioneering history and keep the efforts of master nurseryman Felix Gillet and many miners, ranchers, homesteaders and farmers alive into the 21st century.
All plants, except walnuts and chestnuts, are grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides in Nevada County, CA. The walnuts are grown for us, using our heirloom budwood, by Dave Wilson Nursery.
Most fruit and nut trees are sold as dormant bareroot with 3/8"-3⁄4" caliper and pruned back 4′-5′ tall. Figs, grapes and lilacs are sold dormant in 1 gallon pots.
Most of our plants are in very limited supply with strong demand. Don't be disappointed.
Order now for the best selection.
We urge you to order now and reserve them until January and February for pick up or UPS shipment.
Dormant trees may be picked up in North San Juan (Nevada County), CA on specific prearranged pickup dates in January and February. We will email in advance to notify you of pickup time and location.
Or we can ship via UPS in January and February.
Note on shipping: Because of box size, it is most economical to order multiple trees. Shipping and handling is roughly the same for 1 tree or 6 trees.
Trees are picked up or shipped when dormant, bareroot, in January and February. Figs, grapes and lilacs are sold dormant, potted and cannot be shipped. Pick up only.
We dig the trees when both the trees are in total dormancy and the soil is not saturated from winter rains in January and February. Trees start to break dormancy here in North San Juan at the end of February or March. Your trees must be planted by then. Trees transplant and grow much better when planted when they are fully dormant.
Please see 'Ordering Details' in the menu for information on prices, product details and other ordering details.
New for 2018: A limited selection of our trees will be available at Feather's Nursery in Downieville, CA.
We warranty that our trees are true to species, and are accurate to variety as is humanly possible. They are growing very well for us in our nursery on the San Juan Ridge at 2400 feet and pure well water. We believe they will grow well at your location. We warranty that the trees will, when properly planted and irrigated, grow vigorously. While we make good efforts to insure trees are free from diseases and nematodes, we can make no guarantees. If a tree from us fails to leaf out and grow, please notify us via email by July 1 to ensure a free replacement the following winter.
We further warrant we have made every effort to insure that our nursery stock is free of injurious plant pathogens and diseases. Despite our diligent efforts to do so, we make no warranties, expressed or implied, that 100% insures our plants are free of injurious disease or nematodes.
We have made every attempt to accurately identify these heirloom varieties, however this is an immense undertaking. There are very few reference books for most of these heirlooms, and many of them date to the 1800s and contain no pictures to assist with identification, only line drawings and wordy, arcane descriptions. Most have multiple names for the same variety, and pictures are often quite different for a variety with the same name! We have spent countless hours agonizing over the accuracy of these variety identifications, and have made our best effort to get it right. However this is as much an art as a science, and we are still learning. Unfortunately none of the mother plants come with a tag on them or a map that tells us what they are, so we do our best detective work to sleuth out the answer. We can guarantee that we love the varieties we sell, whether we can identify them 100% percent or not! We have discovered and evaluated many other varieties that we have chosen not to propagate. These are the best of the ancients that we have found to date. Stay tuned, as we are finding more great varieties each year!
Will our high elevation plants grow successfully at your location?

A Brief Profile of Qatar
Ruled by the al-Thani family since the mid-1800s, Qatar transformed itself from a poor British protectorate noted mainly for pearling into an independent state with significant oil and natural gas revenues. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Qatari economy was crippled by a continuous siphoning off of petroleum revenues by the Amir, who had ruled the country since 1972. His son, the current Amir HAMAD bin Khalifa al-Thani, overthrew him in a bloodless coup in 1995. In 2001, Qatar resolved its longstanding border disputes with both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. As of 2007, oil and natural gas revenues had enabled Qatar to attain the second-highest per capita income in the world.

New Australian PM vows to ratify Kyoto
Sidney, Australia - Australia's new Prime Minister and Labor Party leader, Kevin Rudd, has promised to ratify the Kyoto pact at the December Bali climate summit. Australia signed the Kyoto Protocol in 1998 but did not ratify it.
Australian delegates representing the outgoing adminstration attended the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHGM) where Australia and Canada openly refused to commit to greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.
Commonwealth leaders did agree on "a long-term aspirational global goal for emissions reductions to which all countries would contribute". This was less than what many of the assembled leaders had sought, but faced with opposition from Canada, Australia and Trinidad an initial proposal that would have required binding emission targets was rejected because it did not cover major greenhouse gas emitters like China, the United States and India.
Prior to the Australian federal election which took place on Saturday November 24, 2007, Rudd stated if elected Prime Minister he would send a delegation to Bali to help develop a successor to the Kyoto Protocol.
"There is no better way to reinforce that than prime ministerial attendance. It would be a way of indicating ... that we intend to be globally, diplomatically active," Rudd said.
Australia and the United States, the largest greenhouse gas emitters per capita were the only two countries to refuse to ratify the Protocol. The promise by Rudd may further isolate the United States on climate change issues.
However in the past week the United States has indicated interest in helping develop a successor to Kyoto, whose first period ends in 2012, and will also be sending delegates to the Bali summit.
Rudd has also urged that any new climate treaty must include upcoming large emitters like China and India.

A South Korean woman receives acupuncture treatment in her ear, which doctors say is good for diet.
London - Scientists derided research published that suggested ear acupuncture may help people lose weight, saying the study's design was flawed and its conclusions highly implausible.
Responding to the findings of research published online in the journal Acupuncture in Medicine, experts not involved in the work said it was unreliable and probably a waste of money.
"It is hard to think of a treatment that is less plausible than ear acupuncture," said Edzard Ernst, a professor of complementary medicine at Britain's University of Exeter.
A summary statement about the study, conducted by Korean researchers, said it compared three approaches in a total of 91 people - acupuncture on five points on the outer ear, acupuncture on one point, and a sham treatment as a control.
It said participants were asked to follow a restrictive diet, but not one designed to lead to weight loss, and not to take any extra exercise during eight weeks of treatment.
Its results suggested significant differences were apparent after four weeks, with the active treatment groups receiving acupuncture on one or five points having lower body mass index scores compared with the sham treatment group, where there was no such reduction.
Weight also differed significantly after four weeks in both active treatment groups compared with the sham treatment group, the researchers reported in the journal, which is one of 50 specialist titles published by British Medical Journal group.
According to background information given in the journal, auricular acupuncture therapy is based on the understanding that the outer ear represents all parts of the body and was first used in France in 1956 by a doctor who noticed that a patient's back-ache was cured after a burn on the ear.
But external experts said this research and its apparent conclusions should be viewed with extreme caution.
"While it's good to see attempts to evaluate so-called alternative treatments using the same approach as is used for more conventional treatments, this study has several features that complicate the picture," said Kevin McConway, a professor of applied statistics at Open University.
He noted that more than a third of the study's small number of starting participants did not complete the course, and yet the main results did not take this into account.
"The study lasted only eight weeks, which is not long when it comes to a long-term issue like being overweight," he said.
"It tells us nothing about what might happen after eight weeks, and the world is full of weight-loss treatments that have no demonstrable longer-term effect".
Ernst, whose research at Exeter evaluates scientific evidence for acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal medicine, and other alternative therapies, said the trial had "several serious flaws".
He too pointed to its small sample size and high drop-out rate, as well as what he called "questionable statistics".

Congratulations to our Greening Sacred Spaces Halton-Peel chapter (with a special shout-out to Laura Irvine) who helped organize this year's One Burlington Festival using the Green Rule as an organizing theme.
Participating faith communities shared how our well-being depends on the integrity of our relationships, both with one another and with the whole of the Earth, by making special efforts to reduce the environmental impact of the festival and contribute to eco-themed family activities. Among the many activities, they ordered all compostable foodware, gave away free vegetarian and only chicken burgers instead of beef, featured waste sorting/reduction education, used biodegradable soap at hand-washing stations, encouraged the use of reusable water bottles and walk/bike/bus to the festival, gave away eco-prizes, led a tree mural art activity and sugar scrub workshop for kids, and presented about their own particular faith's eco-spirituality or value to the environment on the stage throughout the festival. It was an incredible day!


Tourbillons put the watch escapement in a rotating cage, but the latest generation of mobile escapement timepieces are putting a whole new spin on movement in movements.
A watch moves, a clock doesn't. Because a watch is in different positions throughout the day, gravity tugs at its components in different directions, and the result is that watches run at different rates depending on the position they're in. To combat this problem, Breguet invented the tourbillon, patented in 1801 — and with it inaugurated a war against the effects of gravity on a watch that continues down to the present day. They say necessity is the mother of invention.
But it's not just horological necessity that drives the inventiveness of cutting-edge watch design. The tourbillon may have been born as an attempt to solve a problem, and it may be true that for most of its history it was an exotic rarity that, like any mainly performance-oriented improvement, spent its life under the hood, but as the horological renaissance of the post-quartz era got underway, watchmakers and clients alike started to notice something else: looking at tourbillons is fun. Tourbillons began to move out from their hiding places behind solid casebacks, and both see-through cases and open dials put what was once a piece of ultra-insider exotica out in the open.
It's not just a matter of having something different to look at, though. The tourbillon was respected as a sign of horological mastery, thanks to the fact that it was, for most of its history, very hard to make one, and the problems that making a tourbillon presents, are amplified in its more exotic descendants.
In the years, beyond creating tourbillons, a few watchmakers have also ventured into taking the entire tourbillon and putting the carriage in orbit around the central axis of the watch. The complexity and cost of such tourbillons result in their questionable commercial viability and they tend to demand correspondingly high prices, but for lovers of the tourbillon who want its magic squared, a few such timepieces exist.
Independent watchmaker Bernhard Lederer has built his reputation on the design of orbiting tourbillons (for some time, he had the field more or less to himself). Lederer's most recent watch of this type is the Gagarin Tourbillon, in which a flying tourbillon rotates around the centre of the dial once every 108 minutes (which means the gear ratios in the Gagarin Tourbillon are definitely unique). Why 108 minutes? That's the duration of cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin's pioneering flight as the first human to travel into space, in 1961, aboard Vostok 1.
Another example of taking the tourbillon and putting it in motion is, of course, the Piaget Tourbillon Relatif. This watch, which debuted in 2006, is well known to enthusiasts; it's a flying tourbillon mounted on one end of an elongated moving platform that rotates once per hour, and which acts as the minute hand of the watch. There are thus two centres of rotation — the axis of the flying tourbillon and the axis of the rotating minute hand, and the two centres of rotation are NOT co-axial. In contrast, double tourbillons such as those by Greubel Forsey also have two axes of rotation, but this is achieved with a cage-in-a-cage construction.
Though not a double tourbillon in the strictest sense of the word, the H2 "Flying Resonance" watch by AHCI member Beat Haldimann bears examination both as a work of horological art in its own right and for the light it sheds on the classification of next-gen tourbillons. The Flying Resonance is a central flying tourbillon with two balances and two escapement systems — as the centre of rotation of the balance wheels is offset from the centre of rotation of the carriage that carries them both, it's a central flying carrousel tourbillon with double escapements. The temptation to refer to it as a double tourbillon is almost irresistible, but it's also incorrect, and significantly, Beat Haldimann himself does not use the phrase "double tourbillon" to describe the watch.
The Breguet Classique Grande Complication ref. 5347PT/11/9ZU, better known as the Breguet Double Tourbillon, combines features of both the Piaget Tourbillon Relatif, and twin-balance watches such as the Haldimann Flying Resonance tourbillon. Like the latter, it has two balances; however, both are encased in tourbillon carriages which themselves orbit the centre of the dial once per hour, while at the same time rotating around their own axes every 60 seconds. It's undoubtedly one of the most complex tourbillons ever constructed, and to average out the rates of the two tourbillons, a differential system is used. As the orbital period of the tourbillon carriages is one hour, they can be used as the extremities of the minute hand.
Carole Forestier-Kasapi, who stimulated the birth of the Ulysse Nardin Freak and also designed the Piaget Tourbillon Relatif, continues to explore the world of moving escapements in her work with Cartier, where she's designed the Astrotourbillon. In the Astrotourbillon, the escapement and balance are mounted on the extreme tip of a carrousel tourbillon carriage that has a one-minute period of rotation with its central axis at the center of the dial; the balance thus acts as the seconds hand of the watch. Best classified as a central carrousel tourbillon, the Astrotourbillon is probably the current speed record holder in terms of sheer escape(ment) velocity.
The Freak, the original version of which redefined the way both consumers and designers thought about moving escapements, has continued to evolve and the most recent variation, the Freak Diavolo (introduced at BaselWorld 2010, where it earned a "Best of Basel" nod from REVOLUTION), is as radical a take on the orbiting tourbillon carriage concept as the original was on the tourbillon itself. As in the original Freak, the entire movement rotates, with torque delivered to the going train by the gearing of the first wheel in the train to the fixed teeth on the inner rim of the case; and as in the original, the movement plate acts as the minute hand. Ulysse Nardin has upped the ante by placing the escapement and balance in a flying tourbillon cage. Interestingly, the Dual Ulysse escapement is not used in the Diavolo (we assume because the double-escape-wheel geometry would prove difficult or impossible to adapt to a tourbillon carriage). The flying tourbillon has a one-minute period of rotation as well, which means that this is the first Freak with a running seconds hand.
The period of the orbiting escapement in such watches can be used, as Bernhard Lederer's Gagarin watch demonstrates, for expressive purposes as well, and one of the most dramatic examples is Jaeger-LeCoultre's Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication, part of the group of concept-watch-come-to-life timepieces the Grande Maison calls the Hybris Mechanica Collection.
The Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication combines a tourbillon with a minute repeater (incorporating Jaeger-LeCoultre innovations such as the new square cross-section "crystal" gongs and trebuchet hammers) and indications for the hours and minutes, with astronomical indications including a star chart for the northern hemisphere, the current sign of the zodiac, a 24-hour hand, and indication of the month of the year. The most interesting detail for mobile tourbillon enthusiasts, though, is the sidereal time indication. One of the rarest of all complications, the indication of sidereal time together with the haunting beauty of the repeater, nocturnal romance of the star chart, and celestial serenity of the astronomical complications, make the Grande Tradition Grande Complication one of the most poetically seductive watches in the world.


Here on Unclutterer, we've written about being organized so you're ready to respond to medical emergencies. But I want to take it one more step, because of something that was prompted by my cats.
I live alone, and I'm pretty healthy. But emergency situations can happen to anyone, at any age — as I'm sadly reminded whenever I read about yet another tragic bike or car accident, or hear about someone who had a heart attack or a ruptured aneurysm at an early age. And it dawned on me that if something happened to me, no one might know (who could do anything about it, at any rate) for days.
I wear a watch with medical alert information on the back, including my allergies and an emergency contact number. But what if something happened where I wasn't found — if something happened while I was home, for example?
People I was supposed to meet with would notice something awry, and might call, email or text. But would they do anything more? Probably not. The mailman might notice my mail piling up in my mailbox, but he'd be unlikely to do anything because of that.
And when I thought about all of this, I thought about my cats. They don't have food just sitting out, because one of them is a pig and would eat all the food for both, and eat it much too quickly. So I just put out a measured amount of food at feeding times.
If something happened to me, the cats wouldn't get fed. Thinking of them going hungry fills me with dread; also, cats can develop medical problems pretty quickly if they go without food. And of course there are other things they'd need, too: fresh water and a clean litter box.
So now I call my neighbors every evening, just to say I'm fine. They know if they don't get that call to come check on me — and take care of the cats.
In looking around the Web, I see there are numerous programs for daily check-in calls, generally targeted at the elderly who live alone. Some are provided for free by charities, local governments or police departments, and others are provided by businesses that charge a small fee. Some of these programs use automated calls, and others make live calls. All will call a defined list of people (friends and/or family members) or follow an agreed-upon emergency procedure — again, the specifics vary — if no one answers after something like 2-4 calls.
I feel very fortunate to have neighbors who know me (and my cats) and can serve as my check-in service. We trade all sorts of favors, so this is just one more way we've helped each other out over the years.
But if I didn't have neighbors like this, I'd try to find a check-in program that worked for my situation. I hope I never hit the day when my neighbors need to do something, because I don't call — but knowing that they are ready to do so brings me peace of mind and reduces any stressful thoughts that might be cluttering up my mind.
You can also make such an arrangement with a friend, even one who lives far away, if she/he knows who to call if you do not call/answer the phone. You can even serve as your friend's "insurance." My godmother and one of her friends do that. They just call and say good morning every day.
My sister and I both live alone, and we email each other at work every morning, and talk on the phone every night (just to say "good night"). If the other one doesn't answer, we wait 30 minutes, call again, and if there's no answer, drive to other's home (15 minutes apart). We've never had to do that, but at least we have a plan.
Another idea for those who live alone – when you shower or bathe, take your cell phone into the bathroom with you and put it *ON THE FLOOR*. If you have a fall, the phone is right where you can get it.
My mother and my aunt talk, via phone, every day at 5pm (after my aunt finishes watching Jeopardy). They exchange family news, happenings of the day, plans for the future, etc.
They've done this for years and they do it for this exact reason, in case something happens to either of them. BUT it has become a good habit and a good emotional lifeline for them.
Circumstances have changed for both of them since they started calling each other. My aunt moved into a senior apartment with some as-needed services and meals. I've moved in with my mother, but they still continue with the calls each evening.
For a few years, my aunt would call an acquaintance in Florida twice a week who didn't have family and was blind and housebound. It was a connection for them. I don't remember how it started, but they never met. I think it was a mutual friend and interests and both enjoyed their talks. My aunts friend died a few months ago and she grieved at the loss.
Connections are important, especially when you can't move as well as you would like to do.
You can also do what a neighbor and I do: If my drapes are not open by mid-morning, she calls or comes over to check on me and vice versa. I suppose we could talk about adding a second check at sunset.
In my locality, postal workers are trained to watch for possible problems and told how to follow up on them.
Some other things to take into consideration are having a file with instructions on what to do with any pets in the event something does happen to you. If emergency services have to come to your home, having an instruction sheet that says to call So and So to take care of the cats will help with that (can keep it on your fridge). I keep a flashdrive in my purse that has all my emergency info on it, in case something happens while I'm out and I have a sticker on the back of my DL telling emergency personnel where to find it. I also have instructions in a file at home and have another set with a friend. And to add to it, I have my advanced directive filed with the State (some states offer this) because I know that in the event something serious happens to me, my family will NOT adhere to my wishes.
My elderly parents had a very good arrangement with their younger neighbors on either side. My father always brought in the morning paper as soon as it was delivered. When the neighbors left for work (or errands or Sunday church), if they saw that the newspaper was still lying in my parents' driveway, they would come over and check on them.
…why is your orange cat named Puppy?
I don't mean to be disgusting–merely realistic–but if you die alone at home, your cats will definitely have enough to eat until they are found. An average-sized human contains more than enough meat for a few domestic cats, and animals aren't squeamish or sentimental.


A hang-glider is quite heavy (almost 55 kg in weight), bulky, and much complicated object. It takes around 2 hours to open the glider and almost the same time to pack it. The technicalities are more complex than, say, a para-glider and the risks more. But, then, what is in adventure if some element of risk is not involved? This is the only reason that this game is still quite popular despite so many new versions coming out. The joy of flying in the sky just like a bird is unparalleled and enormous.
Major equipments that you require for hang-gliding are a good hang-glider, a safety helmet, harness, and life jacket. Quality hang-gliding equipment with inbuilt safety features of international standards is available in India.
Billing (8,500 feet) in Kangra valley in Himachal Pradesh has been the venue for hang-gliding rallies offering opportunities for excellent flying. Billing offers 100 km of up and down, and cross-country flights. Dharamkot (11,800 feet), situated near Dharamshala (Himachal Pradesh), is another good place for hang-gliding in Himachal Pradesh. It requires a 2-km trek from the nearest road head to reach this place.
landing. The process involves gradual gain or loss of altitude after the pilot takes off with his wings from a hilltop or any other place with a good altitude. The pilot can extend his flight by ridge soaring, thermal soaring or sea frontals. With the coming of new techniques like aero-towing and flatland landing, gliding from the places with low altitudes are also possible.What do you require to be a hang-glider? Not much if you have love for your life and the determination to save yourself. To be a perfect glider, you need to have a learned skill of gliding, i.e., how to launch yourself, how to move yourself with the glider in the air, a good condition that can make your flight successful (the ability to recognize one will come with time and experience), and the art of landing safely.

Putting on a Show
Sophomore film major receives nomination for Best of the Bay film-maker.
Sarah Frank, Staff Writer|August 21, 2018
The aroma of buttered popcorn mingling with the crunch of brightly-colored candy and laughter as the lights die down and bathe the room in darkness; a classic movie theater, the perfect place for a Saturday well-spent. This was the beginning of young Cole Blaskovich's career in film and cinematography.
With the help of Mr. Phillips (Blake's film teacher,) his fellow film friends, and his observant eyes for all-things-cinematography, Blaskovich was able to create a film that got him a Best of the Bay nomination for best film-maker. Even more impressively, the competition isn't just for teenagers. In fact, it's mostly adults competing for a title that is exactly what it sounds like: being the best in the Tampa Bay area in any of the dozens of categories.
"When I found out, I was surprised and actually a little confused…I still don't know who nominated me," shared Blaskovich in regards to hearing the news. He thinks his nomination is thanks to a film he worked on called "The Show." The film stemmed from a simple prompt: "Enjoy the show" and essentially follows the storyline of a young Jewish boy who is on the run from the Nazi's following his brother's death. The character finds comfort in one of his favorite things: watching movies.
"Cole's film style is always extremely cinematic," shared Mr. Phillips, "I think that's one of his strengths- the visual component of his story-telling." This can presumably be attributed to his undying passion for cinematography. In fact, he hopes to score a career based on it and potentially study it at Chicago University.
"[The best part of working on a film] is definitely seeing it all come together at the end," Blaskovich explained, "and seeing your dreams come to fruition." It's an incredible feat to have received a nomination and even more so for the recipient to be 16, but knowing Cole, this is only the beginning.
With his hard work, passion, and the school's resources, Cole will have the opportunity to grow exponentially and really, it's all thanks to Blake.

The rumour mill had been churning out a lot of rumours about former TNA superstar, Bobby Lashley joining the WWE. The news has now almost somewhat officially been confirmed, as it has now been confirmed by noted combat sports journalist, Dave Meltzer. The news was further confirmed by Brad Shepherd of Body Slam.
PC: Inquisitr
Bobby Lashley is a professional wrestler, as well as a amateur collegiate wrestler and mixed martial artist with a MMA record of 15-2. He is currently also under contract with the MMA promotion, Bellator MMA and has notable victories over fighters such as James Thompson, Bob Sapp, etc. He also happens to be a former United States army soldier.
Lashley has had a highly decorated career with Impact Wrestling. In his time with the Florida based company, he has been a multiple time TNA world heavyweight champion and also a former X Division champion and King of the Mountain champion, while also being involved in various memorable feuds against Alberto El Patron, MMA superstar Josh Barnett, etc. The 41-year old had also previously wrestled for the now-defunct ECW and has had a previous WWE run as well. In his previous run with the WWE, Lashley was a two-time ECW champion and also held the U.S. title for a while. It is rumoured that he was highly rated by WWE CEO, Vince McMahon. However, things soon changed and after suffering an injury, he was soon released from the company.
The news about Lashley's return to the WWE was initially reported by Dave Meltzer in The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. He had also reported that the WWE are planning a long awaited feud between Lashley and Brock Lesnar after Wrestlemania. The news about Bobby's impending return to the WWE was further confirmed by Body Slam's Brad Shepherd that the former WWE United States champion has indeed agreed terms with WWE over a contract.
There is still no official word from the WWE nor from Lashley. However, it just seems to be a matter of time before his signing is officially announced.
