The problems of Metropolis.
Metropolis is a silent dystopian sci-fi film from 1927.
In DC Comics' All-Star Squadron, Roy Thomas revealed the Metropolis took place in the future 23rd century of Earth-2. Rotwang was Luthor's descendant and the robot that replaced Maria became known as Mekanique.
Following the events of the film, Mekanique was given the abilities to time travel, and apparently even greater powers of time and space.
In the final issues of All-Star Squadron, which tied into Crisis on Infinite Earths, Mekanique arrived in 1942 to save a little girl from being hit by a car, because that will ensure Rotwang's future Metropolis timeline.
But then, it's revealed that the Crisis had ended, which means that Earth-2 should have ceased to exist, replaced by the new post-Crisis universe. Mekanique had been holding back the effects of the Crisis from affecting April 1942 on Earth-2 until her mission was complete, but once she ensures her future, she then allows the Crisis effects to happen, thus causing Earth-2's timeline to be erased and replaced by the post-Crisis reality.
Though the timeline she saved then disappeared because of the Crisis, she remained in the post-Crisis reality.
Now in a reality not her own, she joins forces with time traveler Per Degaton and has frequently menaced the post-Crisis and even post-Infinite Crisis versions of the Justice Society of America and their children in Infinty, Inc.
In 2018, Jean-Marc Lofficier presented a story in Tales of the Shadowmen titled "J.C. in Alphaville", which involved Metropilis and the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
In this story,, Rotwang was a scientist who helps Hitler, but seeing the war coming to an end, goes into hidign as Domius Blicero and lives in California. Ten yeas later, he and the other super-villains gather together and create pocket universes that they then travel to and rule. This is the origin of Rotwang's Metropolis.
Both All-Star Squadron and Tales of the Shadowmen have strong connections in the TVCU, and both these stories involve the Crisis.
So I've got a theory.
Why would Mekanique work so hard to save a timeline then allow that timeline to be destroyed moments later?
Mekanique is apparently powerful enough to hold back the effects of a cosmic event like the Crisis. Keep this in mind.
I propose that in 1954, Rotwang of the TVCU created a pocket reality, which I'll name in a second. This reality was very similar to the TVCU. When travelling to this pocket reality, using his super-science, he traveled to the 23rd century of this alternate timeline. There, he killed the man who was that universe's Luthor's descendant and took his identity. He then became ruler of that world.
He used that same super-science that created a pocket reality and embedded that technology in Mekanique. As stated in the Shadowmen Tale, he had been aware of the Crisis in 1954, an event that touched many realities and time periods. He used the effects of the Crisis to create the alternate Earth timeline. He saw that his pocket reality was threatened by the very Crisis that had powered it. He sent his robot back to his pocket reality's 1942 where she triggered a shockwave that in fact stabilized and protected Rotwang's pocket universe. She however, found herself pushed out of the pocket realm and trapped in the main TVCU timeline.
So, this helps me. Batman'66 is the TV version of Batman. I tried to include the golden and silver age Batman using the popular generational gimmick applied by folks such as Dennis Power and John Byrne. But the recent Batman'66/Wonder Woman'77 crossover showed that Bruce Wayne aka Batman was a child during World War II with parents Thomas and Martha Wayne, and met Wonder Woman. I just can't reconcile this without making leaps that are even more out there than the generational thing. I've thought of adding even more Batmen, but I fear going into the realm of making up too much stuff and overcomplicating things.
But imagine if Earth-2, for TVCU purposes, was the pocket reality created by Rotwang, and the post-Crisis "golden age" was in the main TVCU timeline. That could could in placing Batman'66 in the TVCU with Bruce and Dick as Batman and Robin, and this pocket reality being a "Classic TVCU", where Batman was a golden age, pulp-like hero instead. Perhaps this Classic TVCU timeline is where other older TVCU concepts I adopted and later abandoned still exist, like Power's Ollu and Buzsla, the MONSTAAH version of the Munsters, and Offspring of Zed, which I'm going to be replacing with a new concept once the Cartoon Crossover Encyclopedia is complete.
And now that I've explained all that, let's look at a crossover chronology for Metropolis:
To keep things straight:
I'm putting all the stories in one chronology. So main TVCU stories will be in black.
Rotwang's world will be in Blue.
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen will be in Green.
Other timelines in Red.
1857--TALES OF THE SHADOWMEN VOLUME 10: ESPIRIT DE CORPS--"The Next Omega"--A young Doctor Omega meets an older Doctor Omega. The older Doctor Omega is carrying the head of Maria, the robot from the future city of Metropolis. This robot is also known to us as Mekanique. Given all we have gathered about Mekanique, clearly she eventually returns to the future world of Rotwang's pocket reality, only to lose her head, literally. [Doctor Omega gained the head when he visitied Metropolis in Tales of the Shadowmen Volume 7.] Normally, I have presumed based on TVCU Crew consensus, that Doctor Omega is the First Doctor before we see him in the first episode of Doctor Who. However, in this story, the older Doctor Omega has had adventures from classic Doctor Who episodes already, thus must be a future incarnation of the Doctor in this story. He also inquires if his younger counterpart has had those experiences yet, implying that the younger version may also be a future incarnation. Considering the 50th Anniversary Doctor Who Special shows that at some point in the future, the Doctor will take the form of the Fourth Doctor again, it's not improbable that he may take the form of the First Doctor and go back to calling himself Doctor Omega at some point in the future in another incarnation. Other crossovers include: THE TIME MACHINE, LECOQ, SHERLOCK HOLMES, THE WANDERING JEW'S DAUGHTER, MISS MARPLE, CHANDU, THE ADVENTURES OF A PARISIAN AERONAUT IN THE UNKNOWN WORLDS

The Story: During World War I, 30 years after the events of Anno Dracula, the Diogenes Club tries to stop the Nazis from creating undead fighter pilots.
Notes: The Anno Dracula Universe is a divergent timeline, where Dracula married Queen Victoria during the events of Bram Stoker's novel. This led to a very different reality. Snoopy appears in this story, having been shot down by the Red Baron. In the main Cartoon Universe, Snoopy's battles with the Red Baron didn't really happen, and were merely part of Snoopy's imagination. It seems that in this divergent timeline, Snoopy indeed existed as a pilot in World War I, placing those imaginary scenarios and two popular songs in this divergent timeline. Perhaps the Snoopy of the main reality gets visions of his alternate timeline counterpart, which inspire his playtime. Other crosses listed above are also divergent versions that exist in the Anno Dracula timeline.
1920s--DOCTOR MABUSE--The robotic Maria is seen in a drawing among Mabuse's plans. Perhaps Rotwang and Mabuse had co-conspired on the creation of the android.
1920s--DOCTOR MABUSE: ETIOPOMAR--Dr. Mabuse, criminal mastermind - returns in this epic steam punk thriller, in which six interwoven tales document the downfall of Dr. Mabuse and his city "Etiopomar". The Machine Man aka Maria and Rotwang from Metropolis appear in the film. The Machine Man was the robot who was transformed into Maria in that film.
1939--BEFORE TOMORROWLAND--Werner Rotwang is the villain, but he's meant to be THE REAL Rotwang who inspired the character from the fictional Metropolis. He too is a German scientist with expertise in robotics who works for the Nazis. I could say that this is Carl Rotwang, but it's easier for me to presume this is Carl's brothers to support a theory that the future Rotwang that Carl replaces is part of his own family tree.
Prior to 1941--LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN--To further complicate things... According to Alan Moore, Doctor Carl A. Rotwang was a scientist in the Berlin Metropolis who created the humanoid robot Maria and both Rotwang and "Maria" were members of the German League. Rotwang's android technology was later adopted by Heinz Goldfoot and Martin Bormann. Rotwang allegedly passed away prior to 1941. So, I do place most of the 20th century events of the League series to be a divergent timeline. So in this divergent timeline, Rotwang did not travel to the 23rd century of a pocket reality where he became ruler, but he did still create his Maria android. In this timeline, he died prior to 1941. The Maria android later became an enemy of Britain's League and was destroyed by Janni Dakar in 1941.
1941--NEMO: THE ROSES OF BERLIN--This takes place in Alan Moore's LOEG divergent timeline. Germany resembles Metropolis from Fritz Lang's silent film, and is ruled by the Great Dictator (as originally portrayed by Charlie Chaplain.) The daughter of Captain Nemo and her husband, Broad Arrow Jack, must rescue their daughter and son-in-law, the son of Robur the Conqueror, from Nazi Germany. Ayesha and the German League appear.
THE CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS
April 1 to 12, 1942--ALL-STAR SQUADRON # 54 to 60--"The Crisis Comes to 1942"--The skies turn blood red, strange weather patterns occur, and movement between time and realities becomes easy and accidental. Because of this, Mister Mind of the Captain Marvel Universe discovers the TVCU and gathers together villains as his first Monster Society of Evil. Later, they must deal with a time travelling robot (from the future of METROPOLIS.) Eventually, the world is restored to normal without anyone really knowing what happened.
The Spectre, Johnny Thunder and Johnny's Thunderbolt free the JSA from Hyperspace, but all the items they brought with them from Hyperspace vanish. At Mekanique's urging, Green Lantern and Firebrand save a young girl from being hit by a car, altering history; unbeknownst to the heroes, their actions will permit the evil Rotwang, Mekanique's creator, to dominate Mekanique's native era, the 23rd century. Hawkman is elected cochairman of the Squadron. A photo of virtually the entire Squadron is taken for FDR. NOTES: This story illustrated the changes wrought by the Crisis. The photo depicts Superman, Batman, Robin, Aquaman and Wonder Woman, but then later in the story, the photo changes, and these heroes are replaced by Uncle Sam and Doll Man, the Ray, Plastic Man, Black Condor and Phantom Lady, and adding the Human Bomb and Jester. After this, All-Star Squadron changes to a "secret origins" style title, treading water until the launch of the post-Crisis Young All-Stars.
THE YOUNG ALL-STARS # 12 "'M' IS FOR 'MONSTERS'" (DC COMICS)
Release Date: May 1988 (Setting is May 1942)
Series: Young All-Stars
Horror Crosses: Creature Commandos; King Kong
Non-Horror Crosses: All-Star Squadron; TNT and Dan the Dyna-Mite; Aarn Munro; Hawkman (Golden Age); Robotman (Golden Age); Miss America; Justice Society of America; Superman (Golden Age); The War that Time Forgot; Wildcat; Metropolis; G.I. Robot; R.U.R.
The Story: Deathbolt attacks Project M to steal a T-Rex and place the Ultra-Humanite's brain in it.
Notes: King Kong's remains are seen at Project M. Project M is from the Creature Commandos series, which has been brought in via a New Adventures of Frankenstein tale by Donald F. Glut. This story does not bring in the entire Young All-Stars series or DC Comics line. The Utlra-Humanite was introduced in the golden age Superman series. Most people only know Luthor and Zod as Superman's foes.
TALES OF THE SHADOWMEN VOLUME 6: GRAND GUIGNOL "J.C. IN ALPHAVILLE" (STORY BY JEAN-MARC LOFFICIER)
Release Date: 2010 (Setting is 1944-1964)
Series: Tales of the Shadowmen
Horror Crosses: Nosferatu; Stephen King Universe (works of Stephen King)
Non-Horror Crosses: Metropolis; Dr. Mabuse; Crisis on Infinite Earths; Alphaville; Gravity's Rainbow; Mullartown; Last Year in Marienbad; La Invencion de Morel; The Castle; Michael Moorcock's Multiverse; Chronicles of Amber; Wampus; Bunker Palace Hotel; Brazil; King Ubu; Bloom County
The Story: Four great super-villains who had worked to support Hitler see that the Third Reich is soon to fall and go off for ten years under new identities. Rotwang takes up the identity of Dominus Blicero in California. Leonard Orlok becomes Leonard Von Braun in France. M becomes Morel in Argentina. And Ohisver Muller goes to Turkey but keeps his own name. In 1954, they gather again with a plan to create four pocket realities of which to rule their own ways. Rotwang creates his Metropolis. M creates Marienbad. Muller created Mullartown. And Von Braun creates Alphaville.
Notes: Ready? Orlock is stated to have had a vampire ancestor, referring to Nosferatu. When the mad scientists discuss the multiverse, there is mention of the reality of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. Rotwang's Metropolis dimension is from the silent film Metropolis. Thus, as far as the Horror Universe is concerned, that film takes place between 1954 - 1964 in an artificial pocket dimension. Dr. Mabuse is from a series of silent films. The Crisis on Infinite Earths was a 1985 - 1986 mini-series by DC Comics. In it, all of the infinite alternate realities were threatened. Every major DC Comics character appeared. In the end, the multiverse was destroyed and replaced with a single DC Universe. However, shortly after, it was shown that other realities did still exist, and actually only a finite number of realities (the DC ones) were mushed together, and even then, shadows of those previous versions still existed in Hypertime. But non-DC owned realities still had inter-company crossovers showing that the DCU was not alone. And some of those other realities had even shown that they were somehow affected. Companies like Marvel Comics would display that the Crisis did reach all the way to them, but had little effect. Thus, we can assume based on this story, since these scientists in 1954 were aware of the Crisis (which affected time as well as space), then the Horror Universe must have been one of those realities that was not destroyed but still felt the effects, at least briefly. So, having said all that, we should note that the external time/space anomalies may have reached the Horror Universe, but the DC characters in that series were all from their DC Comics realities, and not the Horror Universe, even if the Horror Universe does have some counterparts to DC Comics characters. Alphaville is a 1965 French black and white film about an alternate reality that combines film noir with science fiction. Rotwang's alter ego as Blicero was the main foe of the novel Gravity's Rainbow. Though published in 1973, it is set during that 1944 - 1954 period. Mullartown (aka the House of a Thousand Floors) is a 1929 novel by Jan Weiss about a man who wakes with amnesia in a place that isn't quite right. Last Year at Marienbad is a 1961 French film that is also very bizarre, about a man who seems trapped in a dream-like reality. In The Invention of Morel, a fugitive in Polynesia finds his reality coming apart and doesn't know if it's food sickness or something else. The Castle is the setting of said castle in the novel of the same name and also the location where the agent who comes to stop the villains meets his contacts. Michael Moorcock has several comics.that occur in separate but interconnected realities. His multiverse is also mentioned, which implies that the Horror Universe is part of the same Omniverse as Moorcock's multiverse and the DC Multiverse. The Chronicles of Amber is a series of fantasy novels, which are mentioned by the scientists as existing as an alternate reality in this multiverse. Wampus is a French comic book character, later brought into modern literature by Jean-Marc Lofficier. He also seems to exist in one of the alternate realities connected to the Horror Multiverse. Within the story, it's shown that the Bunker Palace Hotel, from the 1989 French film of the same name, exists within the pocket dimension of Alphaville. The 1985 film Brazil is also shown to take place in the Alphaville pocket dimension. Meanwhile, King Ubu (Ubu Roi) is from a French improv play that originated in the 1890s. In this story, we find that he exists in the Outlands. This may be a reference to the short lived spin-off of the comic strip Bloom County. Oh, and yes, I just did a Crisis crossover!!!
LATE JULY 1985--CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS/JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA/INFINITY, INC.--Per Degaton and Mechanique attack a team of heroes based in Detroit that are calling themselves the Justice League of America and a group of the offspring of the JSA. NOTES: THE CRISIS IS A HUGE TIME/SPACE EVENT THAT JAMES BOJACIUK WILL BE COVERING IN A FUTURE BLOG POST. THE "SUPER FRIENDS" ARE STILL OPERATING AT THIS TIME, BUT THIS DETROIT TEAM WAS CREATED OUT OF ANGER BY AQUAMAN WHEN HE FELT THE JLA WAS LACKING IN RESPONSE TIME. THE TEAM CALLED INFINITY INC ARE THE KIDS OF THE JSA, WHO DISBANDED IN THE 1950S. DURING THE CRISIS, A VILLAIN FROM THE FUTURE CALLED THE TIME TRAPPER TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE WEAKENING OF REALITIES TO ONCE AGAIN MAKE THE WORLD FORGET ABOUT SUPERMAN AND OTHER SUPER-HEROES, SO THAT AFTER THE CRISIS, THOUGH THESE HEROES STILL EXISTED, THE WORLD IS LIKE ONE IN WHICH THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS SUPER-HEROES. THE TIME TRAPPER THEN ALTERS THE MEMORIES OF CLARK KENT JUNIOR AND HIS PARENTS. IN THIS DISTORTED REALITY, BABY CLARK IS FOUND BY JONATHAN KENT (COUSIN OF THE KENT BROTHERS) AND MARTHA CLARK KENT (COUSIN OF THE CLARK SISTERS) IN SMALLVILLE BY NO COINCIDENCE. THIS BABY IS ALSO NAMED CLARK JOSEPH KENT II AFTER THEIR FAMOUS JOURNALIST COUSIN. HE EVENTUALLY MOVES TO THE GREAT METROPOLIS OF NEW YORK TO BECOME A JOURNALIST AND MAKES HIS DEBUT IN 1986 AS WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE FIRST AND ONLY SUPERMAN. THIS CLARK DOES HIDE HIS EXISTENCE FOR THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF ADVENTURES BUT IS FORCED TO GO PUBLIC, AND THEN DOES NOT TRY TO HIDE FROM THE PUBLIC AFTERWARD, YET MOST PEOPLE STILL DON'T RECOGNIZE HIS EXISTENCE, DUE TO THE SPELLS OF BOTH THE WIZARD AND THE TRAPPER COMBINED.
December 1985--MICHAELANGELO # 1--"One Unconventional Robot"--*Among the robots at the Robot Expo are R2-D2, Robbie the Robot, the robot from Lost in Space, a Dalek, Maria from "Metropolis" and the Fugitoid. Michigan J. Frog and Cyberman are also there.
1992--MORTAL KOMBAT PREQUEL NOVEL--From Matt Hickman: It's mentioned at one point Kano teamed up with a swordsman form Scotland named Conner. This is clearly Connor MacLeod. it might seem odd that Conner would team up with someone as evil as Kano but perhaps there was an evil Immortal who was a member of the Red Dragon clan, a criminal empire at war with the Black Dragon clan so they had to team up to take the Immortal down. Also mentioned is that Kano's Bionic Eye and Hsu Hao's artificial heart were installed by Dr. Rotwang form Munich, Germany. Pretty sure he's supposed to be the same as the one in Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
2056--TIGER & BUNNY--It's 45 years after super-beings known as NEXT (Noted Entities with Extraordinary Talents) have emerged. A scientist named Rotwang works on robots that can become replacements for super-heroes. Note that this of course is not Rotwang from METROPOLIS despite the implication. But if the theory is that Carl Rotwang traveled to the 23rd Century of a pocket reality, where he replaced the Rotwang who was a descendant of Luthor, then this Rotwang must be part of that pocket reality's family tree. Perhaps Lena Luthor, the daughter of Alexander Luthor Junior, married a man named Rotwang. Hey, maybe that man named Rotwang is the grandson of "Werner Rotwang", the cyborg from BEFORE TOMORROWLAND. This is presuming that many elements of Rotwang's pocket reality timeline were similar to the "real world", and if we presume that the pocket reality is "Classic TVCU", then that would be true.
23rd Century--TOWERS OF METROPOLIS--Ron Fortier of Airship 27 Productions brings us an anthology prequel to the 1927 silent film.
23RD Century--METROPOLIS--Rotwang creates a robot inspired by his lost love but is forced to model her after a common laborer named Maria. The original film placed the events in 2026. DC Comics moved it to the 23rd century. If we recognize it as taking place in Rotwang's pocket reality and not in the main TVCU timeline, then the 23rd century works fine. 2026 is just a little to close.
23rd Century--EXPRESS YOURSELF--This Madonna music video is set in the future world of Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
23rd Century--RADIO GA GA--This Queen music video is also set in the future of Metropolis.
23rd Century--METROPOLIS: SUITE I (THE CHASE)/THE ARCHANDROID--Janelle Monáe based both her concept albums on the original film including her EP, Metropolis: Suite I (The Chase) released mid-2007 and The ArchAndroid released in 2009. The latter also included an homage to Metropolis on the album cover, with the film version of the Tower of Babel among the remainder of the city. The albums follow the adventures of Monáe's alter-ego and robot, Cindi Mayweather, as a messianic figure to the android community of Metropolis.
23rd Century--LADY GAGA--Pop singer-songwriter Lady Gaga has made a series of references to Lang's film within her music videos. Visual allusions to the film are noted most predominantly in her music videos for "Alejandro," "Born This Way," and "Applause."
23rd Century--VERTIKAL/VERTIKAL II--Swedish Post-metal band Cult of Luna drew inspiration on Metropolis and its bleak dystopian ambient for their 2013 albums Vertikal and Vertikal II. The 2014 music video "Digital Witness" by St. Vincent in collaboration with Chino Moya presents "a surreal, pastel-hued future" in which lead singer Annie Clark is a stand-in for Maria.
23rd Century--QUEEN OF THE NIGHT--This Whitney Houston video also set in Metropolis.
23rd Century--SPAM ATTACK: THE MOVIE--A lonely alien, the last of his species, comes to Earth when it is under the rule of an evil dictator, and helps participate in a rebellion. The film ends showing the alien living in the Tower of Babel from Metropolis, confirming the setting.
23rd century: All-Star Squadron #60--Much of the world comes under the tyrannical rule of the scientist Rotwang. After failing to undermine a worker's revolt by replacing the workers' leader, Maria, with a robot, Rotwang sends the robot back in time to change history in his favor. The robot appears in the year 1942, where Robotman dubs it Mekanique. Mekanique persuades members of the All-Star Squadron to complete her task, thus ensuring Rotwang's dominance. NOTES: This story is adapted from Fritz Lang's 1926 silent film Metropolis, added to DC lore by Roy Thomas. It is unclear whether these events are still in continuity: although Mekanique apparently destroyed herself in Infinity, Inc. Annual #2 (1988), she DID successfully complete her original task in All-Star Squadron #60.
November 3007--FUTURAMA--"Bender's Big Score"--The travel tubes from Metropolis are in use in New New York of the main TVCU timeline. See my Futurama timeline for an explanation of how many divergent timelines "re-merged" by the 31st Century.
July 3010?--FUTURAMA--"The Mutants are Revolting"--When the mutants are swept away, Leela's father says 'They're with the C.H.U.D.s now.' This is a reference to the 1980's film C.H.U.Ds (Cannablistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers) and to it's sequel Bud the C.H.U.D. The Westside Pipeway's design and location (under the city) is a reference to the "M-Machine" from the 1927 movie Metropolis.

I'm working on an article about crossover television shows. More talking about the newer shows, such as the DC and Marvel universe shows. In your opinion, where and when did this all begin? Obviously, I don't mean any tv shows that have become movies or vice versa. How do you feel it has effected television viewing.
You can email me a response at acsymb@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

I'm not Robert, but I'm pretty sure he'd agree that TV crossovers started with I LOVE LUCY when Superman appeared.

Třída Ton byla třída pobřežních minolovek Britského královského námořnictva, stavěných především pro likvidaci magnetických min v mělkých vodách poblíž přístavů. Postaveno jich bylo celkem 118 kusů, přičemž 35 jich Velká Británie později předala námořnictvům různých zemí Commonwealthu. Royal Navy je vyřadilo na počátku 90. let.

Stavba

Celkem bylo v letech 1950–1952 objednáno 118 jednotek této třídy. Navrhla je britská loděnice John I. Thornycroft & Company. Na vodu byly spuštěny v letech 1953–1959. Původně měla být pojmenována podle hmyzu, ale nakonec dostala jména britských vesnic končící na -ton.

Konstrukce
Plavidla byla stavěna z nemagnetických materiálů, kostra ze slitin hliníku byla pokrytá dřevem. První postavená plavidla měla otevřený můstek. Vybavena byla radarem typu 978, který později nahradil typ 1006. Základní obrannou výzbroj tvořil jeden 40mm kanón Bofors a dva 20mm kanóny Oerlikon. Pohonný systém u prvních plavidel (plavidla M1101–M1130) tvořily dva dieselové dvanáctiválce Mirrlees o výkonu 2500 hp. Později byly instalovány výkonnější osmnáctiválce Napier Deltic o výkonu 3000 hp. Nejvyšší rychlost dosahovala 15 uzlů. Dosah byl 3000 námořních mil při rychlosti 8 uzlů.

Modifikace
Během služby v britském námořnictvu bylo 16 minolovek upraveno pro vyhledávání min (minehunters). Jejich minolovný tral byl odstraněn. Vybaveny byly sonarem typu 193. Likvidaci min prováděl tým čtyř potápěčů, kteří využívali dva rychlé čluny. Minolovky Edderton a Sullington byly upraveny na výzkumné lodě Myrmidon a Mermaid, minolovka Invermoriston byla upravena na záchranné plavidlo a Laleston na mateřskou loď potápěčů. V roce 1971 bylo pět minolovek upraveno na hlídkové lodě a posláno do Hongkongu. Hlavní změnou bylo přidání druhého 40mm kanónu.

Zahraniční uživatelé

 Argentinské námořnictvo – 6 kusů (Chaco, Chubut, Formosa, Neuquen, Rio Negro a Tierra del Fuego)

 Australské královské námořnictvo – roku 1961 získalo 6 kusů (Gull, Hawk, Ibis, Snipe, Curlew a Teal)

 Ghanské námořnictvo – 1 kus (Ejura)

 Indické námořnictvo – 4 kusy (Cannanore, Cuddalore, Kakinada a Karwar)

 Irské námořnictvo – 3 kusy (Banba, Fola a Grainne)

 Jihoafrické námořnictvo – 10 kusů (Pretoria, Kaapstad, Johannesburg, Kimberley, Walvisbaai, Mosselbaai, Port Elizabeth, East London, Windhoek a Durban)

 Malajsijské královské námořnictvo – 6 kusů (Brimchang, Jerai, Kinabulu, Ledang, Mahamiru a Tahan)

Dochované exempláře
Jihoafrická minolovka Durban (M1499) byla po vyřazení přeměněna na muzejní loď. Minolovka Durban byla první válečnou lodí postavenou přímo pro Jihoafrické námořnictvo, neboť to předtím získávalo plavidla z druhé ruky. Zpřístupněna byla roku 1988 v rámci Durban (Port Natal) Maritime Museum. Dne 29. června 2020 se minolovka zčásti potopila, přičemž její záď dosedla na mělké dno přístavu.

Whale Watching and Wildlife Viewing
Whale Watching Season is upon us again and it is expected to be better than last year with 14,000 to 16,000 Humpback Whales to pass by Moreton Island. Whales have already been spotted 100m East off Moreton Island
Moreton Island provides amazing opportunities to view wildlife. Over 180 species of birds, including seabirds, forest birds and birds of prey, can be seen. Wading birds can be found on the island, especially between September and April when many birds migrate from other countries. Eugaries (pipis) and beach shellfish are particularly abundant, attracting birdlife and fishermen alike. Birds such as the pied oyster-catcher often called a pipi eater are usually seen on the surfside, often in pairs, looking for small sea creatures and pipis. Other birds seen on the beaches are the masked lapwing, eastern curlew, white ibis, pied cormorant, silver gull, crested tern and the pelican. For more on birds viewing see bird watching.
The bandicoot, a few species of bat, and gliders make up most of Moreton's native mammal life. Forty species of reptiles have been recorded on the island including blue-tongued lizards, goannas, bearded dragons, major skinks, various snakes and marine turtles. Moreton Bay supports a large population of Green and Loggerhead Turtles which come to nest on Moreton Island between November and February on the beach.
The island has a rich array of plant communities from stunted heathlands to open eucalypt forests which is a haven for wildlife. Freshwater lakes, creeks and swamps provide havens for frogs and native fish. For panoramic views of the island's plant life and Moreton Bay take a walk up Mount Tempest.
Cape Moreton is a good viewpoint for watching marine life such as humpback whales during their migration from June to November,also dolphins, sharks and turtles. to experience the beauty of these whales, take a tour to see these whales feeding, breaching, splashing their tails and take a leap out of the ocean. The sea grasses are where you will see dugong at the southern end of the island. Walking over the large area of shallow sandy flats at low tide reveals a host of marine life. The area is full of green worms, sea anemones, molluscs and thousands of blue soldier crabs, shellfish and ghost crabs.

Ugly coaches wish they were on the field. They have no clue what they want or need – they project their abstract desires on their unsuspecting (players) victims.
Bad coaches react. They read what just happened to them – then react accordingly with what should have happened. At best, with enough experience – they may be able to project what they think will happen only because of the years of pain and suffering they've put their players though. At this point, they've reached the pinnacle of their coaching career: mediocrity.
Good coaches have a plan. They practice the plan. They teach and correct according to the plan. They then play an opponent in such a way as to force the opponent to change THEIR plan. If a good coaches plan fails to initiate, he doesn't cut and run or abandon all hope. He projects a new course of action with specific instructions to counter this unforeseen obstacle. Good coaching isn't a direct byproduct of volume or tone. It comes with efficient communication. Sometimes, direct and forceful words/tone are the most efficient way to communicate the message (especially to a fellow alpha male) – but it never comes at the expense of the athlete. It comes out of the desire for a better result than the player can physically give on his own. This is the single greatest characteristic of a great coach. Bad and even ugly coaches can come across teams who win in spite of their efforts. Good coaches make boys better. In turn, they teach for generations. Their tireless work turning sons into fathers.

The Mike Keeney Trio's 2006 release is an instrumental blend of improvised rock and jazz. It draws on inspiration from great crossover guitarists like Bill Frisell, John Scofield and Wayne Krantz while still finding it's own identity. This music occupies the space of smart,thoughtful and reactive improvisation woven through a moody, melodic atmosphere. Great hooks and blistering solos keep the action moving throughout this incredible debut CD.
Mike's solo guitar album of 2011 is a mx of etherial guitar loops and beautiful melodies performed live in the studio. Each piece paints a picture that seems to evolve into something new on each listen. From the rhythmic pocket of "Emily Sparkles" to the dark but inviting tones in "Every Day is Halloween", this release is the codification of a unique emerging artist.
Urbane Coyotes "Is That Your Voice I Hear?"
This collaboration, made up of Lorenzo DeLeon, Lisa Kotara and Mike Keeney, was released in 2011. Lorenzo's background in acoustic guitar instrumentals blend well with Keeney's Bill Frisell-esque guitar melodies and solos. Lisa's voice is the icing on the cake in this beautiful songwriting project.

Tuberculosis case raises concern
Home /News/Tuberculosis case raises concern
A few faculty members have become concerned after a student in a summer English class was diagnosed with Tuberculosis.English professor Lee Reinhartsen said that one of his colleagues was visited last week at her home by an official from the Los Angeles County department of health.
The county Health Department informed the instructor that a student, in her summer class had tested positive for Tuberculosis.
She was immediately tested for the disease, which she had been exposed to, but tested negative.
The Health Department also notified the PCC faculty member that there were a number of active TB cases in the student body.
"Once a semester we might have a TB case. Not necessarily every semester," said Jo Buczko Coordinator of PCC Health Services. "We were informed by Pasadena's Public Health Department in the fall that there was only a case in the summer semester."
"We questioned the administration about it," said Reinhartsen, who also teaches English as Second Language. "We asked why [the faculty] is forced to have TB tests, but not the students. Our students come from all around the world and [in] some areas they come from, TB is prevalent."
"We encourage students to have a TB test," said Buczko. "We don't mandate testing them because it would mean testing over 8,000 students every semester."
TB is a bacterial disease that is spread from person to person through the air when it becomes an active disease. The germs can be spread by coughing and sneezing.
Symptoms of TB include fever, fatigue, night sweats, loss of appetite weight loss and cough, explained Buczko.
"We do routinely test those students going into areas where their at risk, such as childcare program, people coming from countries which have endemic problems like the pacific realm countries, South America and Africa," said Buczko.
Health services provide free TB testing to all currently enrolled students.
"It may be distressing to a faculty member that a public health official visited their friend, but you have to look at the flip side of that," added Buczko.
"They didn't fall through the cracks, they identified who the person was and went out and did the testing because they knew it was important to give them the necessary information.

How Rishi Sunak won the Conservative Party leadership contest — part 2
October 27, 2022 in history, surveys | Tags: 2022, Ben Houchen, Bill Cash, Boris Johnson, China, Conservative Party, England, Gordon Rayner, Guido Fawkes, Harry Cole, history, House of Commons, House of Lords, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Jake Berry, Keir Starmer, Labour Party, Liz Truss, Matt Hancock, Parliament, Penny Mordaunt, Rishi Sunak, Scotland, Simon Clarke, Sir James Duddridge, Suella Braverman, survey, Trevor Kavanagh, UK
Before going into Rishi's win in last weekend's leadership contest, a few items of current news follow.
Wednesday, October 26 saw Rishi at the despatch box for PMQs, which he handled well. Labour's Sir Keir Starmer was still going around in circles with his six questions, achieving nothing, as usual.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman's security breach dominated PMQs and Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper asked an Urgent Question about it.
This morning's Telegraph editorial said (purple emphases mine):
There is something about Mrs Braverman that seems to drive the Left borderline hysterical. Her robust views on issues such as controlling the borders and tackling crime put her in the mainstream of public opinion. Somehow that is enough to earn her the sobriquet "hard-Right" among her Leftist critics.
In the Commons, Mr Sunak defended Mrs Braverman's return to the Home Office, saying that she had made an error of judgment but that she had recognised that and accepted her mistake. Her resignation last week also took place amid a row within government over immigration levels: Mrs Braverman is a firm advocate of cutting numbers.
Many Conservative voters will be reassured that she is back in office. Mrs Braverman has the right political instincts, taking a hard line for instance on the need to clamp down on disruptive climate protesters. In her previous roles, she has shown that she has the ability to master the details of complex policy areas, including on sensitive matters such as transgender rights. Now, she should be given the time and space to get on with the job.
A retired Squadron Leader wrote the Telegraph to say:
SIR – Congratulations to the new Prime Minister and to Suella Braverman on her return as the Home Secretary.
… The situation in the English Channel, with migrants entering Britain with impunity and without permission, at a cost of millions of pounds a day for hotel accommodation alone, cannot go on.
In 2021, 28,526 migrants landed in Britain without permission. This year, more than 38,000 migrants have arrived so far, with a projection of up to 50,000 by the new year.
Mrs Braverman would seem to have the answers to this problem. One can only hope that her return to the Home Office will make a difference, and quickly.
Another issue Braverman will have to deal with are alleged Chinese 'police stations' in two Glasgow restaurants.
Today — Thursday — the Times reported:
Ministers have been called on to intervene after China was accused of operating a "shadowy and chilling" secret police hub in the heart of Glasgow.
A report compiled by a human rights organisation claims that the Chinese government is operating a global network of undeclared "police stations", which are being used to intimidate and silence dissidents.
The Home Office said the claims were "very concerning" and would be taken "extremely seriously". A spokesman said: "Any foreign country operating on UK soil must abide by UK law. The protection of people in the UK is of the utmost importance and any attempt to illegally repatriate any individual will not be tolerated."
Safeguard Defenders, a Madrid-based civil liberties group, alleges one of the outposts is running from 417 Sauchiehall Street in central Glasgow, alongside two others in London. The address houses the premises of Loon Fung, one of the city's oldest and best-known Chinese restaurants …
A spokesman for Safeguard Defenders:
claimed the Scottish Fujian Chamber of Commerce, registered at the premises of Sichuan House, another Chinese restaurant based on Sauchiehall Street, also had links to the Chinese state.
The Times attempted to confirm the allegations:
The Chinese consulate in Edinburgh did not respond to a request for comment …
Loon Fung has strongly denied any involvement. "There's no secret police here," a spokesman said. Sichuan House did not respond to a request to comment. A man who answered a mobile number published online as being the contact for the Scottish Fujian Chamber of Commerce hung up when The Times introduced itself.
Returning to Braverman, on Wednesday night, Sir Jake Berry MP, the short-lived chairman of the Conservative Party under Liz Truss, gave an interview on TalkTV's Piers Morgan Uncensored, on which Nadine Dorries MP was a guest host, Morgan being on holiday.
The Times reported what Berry said, in part:
From my own knowledge, there were multiple breaches of the ministerial code …
That seems a really serious breach. The cabinet secretary had his say at the time. I doubt he's changed his mind in the last six days but that's a matter for the prime minister.
Asked whether Braverman had rapidly owned up to the mistake as she claimed, Berry replied: "I wasn't in the meeting but as I understand it the evidence was put to her and she accepted the evidence rather than the other way around" …
Berry's comments are likely to prompt further questions about the circumstances of Braverman's re-appointment as Sunak completes a reshuffle of the government's junior ranks.
Hmm. Interesting.
Berry's interview was up for discussion this morning in the House of Lords. Labour peer Baroness Smith of Basildon, leader of the Opposition, asked an Urgent Question about it. Baroness Neville-Rolfe, responding for the Government, gave a brief statement in support of the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary, which was met with audible groans from many of the peers. Several of them, including a Lord Spiritual (Anglican bishop), asked questions for several minutes.
Labour will continue to press this issue, it seems.
Guido Fawkes caught up with Sir Keir Starmer on Wednesday:
Keir in the Café Queue Has His Sights on the Home Secretary https://t.co/QvjuQguVsd pic.twitter.com/5YNiwyPhJ2
— Guido Fawkes (@GuidoFawkes) October 26, 2022
Guido wrote (emphases his):
Finding himself behind Keir Starmer in a coffee-queue this afternoon, Guido took the opportunity to ask the Leader of the Opposition about his future attack lines on the Government. The case of Suella Braverman, the Labour leader said, "wasn't going away."
It was a relatively inconspicuous item in his PMQs: "Have officials raised concerns about his decision to appoint her?" It caused a frisson among those who know how important process is, and how deadly the advice given by officials can be …
Obviously no PM is going to answer such questions, nor will he willingly surrender written advice given in ministerial confidence. However, there is a route to get it. By a Humble Address (a procedural device resurrected from ancient obscurity by the previous Speaker, John Bercow), documents of all sorts, including electronic, can be demanded by an Opposition Motion.
Labour has had next week's Opposition Day nicked by the SNP. But the issue will probably fructify rather than decay over time. It may be a little early in the new administration for 35 Tories to defy the Whip and vote for the documents to be revealed – but if recent history is anything to go by …
Questions about Braverman continued in the House of Commons on Thursday during Cabinet Office Questions and, later, Business Questions to Leader of the House Penny Mordaunt.
A Telegraph article by Gordon Rayner said that recent Home Secretaries ended up doomed from the start:
Almost as soon as Rishi Sunak reappointed Mrs Braverman as Home Secretary, the civil service was letting it be known that there were "concerns" about whether she could be trusted with sensitive information. Simon Case, the Cabinet Secretary and head of the Civil Service, was "livid" about her appointment, sources said.
If the ultimate goal of the poisonous briefings by civil servants was to suggest the department cannot function with Mrs Braverman in charge, it will be a familiar scenario to previous holders of the post.
Priti Patel only just survived a concerted campaign to force her out by civil servants who accused her of bullying. Amber Rudd lasted two years before she was forced to resign for misleading a Commons committee, having been wrongly briefed by her department on deportation targets. As far back as 2006 Labour's John Reid declared the department "not fit for purpose".
In 2006, Labour was in power, by the way.
Gordon Rayner rightly includes Braverman's allies in his analysis:
Allies of Mrs Braverman say that her enemies in the Home Office, and on the Left, have used a technical breach of the ministerial code as a convenient excuse to attack a woman with whom their true battle lies over immigration.
Conservative Party members are likely to support Braverman:
As the current "queen of the Right" in the Government, every carping comment from a Labour MP or BBC commentator simply reinforces her popularity with Conservative Party members and a significant chunk of MPs.
Rishi Sunak reinstated her at the Home Office because he knows that to stand any chance of uniting his party, he needs a figurehead of the Right in a senior position, and in Mrs Braverman he has a former chairman of the European Research Group of Right-wing Eurosceptic Tories.
It is significant that Braverman backed Rishi last weekend:
If, as has been suggested, a return to the Home Office was the price she demanded for backing his leadership bid (and effectively killing off Boris Johnson's attempted resurrection) it simply proves the clout she now has within the Party.
Other news from Wednesday included a confirmed ban on fracking, overturning Liz Truss's decision to allow fracking in communities that overwhelmingly allow it.
Now back to the leadership contest.
In the early hours of Friday, October 21, Boris Johnson was leading Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt:
BREAKING: Boris hits 50 MPs after 9 hours. 50% of the threshold. https://t.co/Am9igrg3VT pic.twitter.com/ui6z2xzDdE
I left off yesterday with Stanley Johnson saying that morning that his son Boris was 'on a plane'.
Meanwhile, Liz Truss made a brief return to Downing Street, probably to collect something. The Guardian's photos show her in sportswear, a heretofore unseen Liz.
'Bring Back Boris'
Express readers opened their Friday paper to find an article by one of Boris's main backers, Sir James Duddridge MP, a champion of the Bring Back Boris, or BBB, campaign:
I was his Parliamentary Private Secretary and stayed with him right until the end. It was a mistake to force him out but now is the time to bring him back.
He is the only one who can unite the party after the turbulent last few weeks and I trust him to right the ship …
He always remained hugely popular with the party's grassroots and with large parts of the country.
There will always be socialists and angry Twitter mobs who rail against him but he is an election winner, twice in London as well as nationally.
My constituents regularly tell me they want Boris back and he still has a mandate from the country …
He has the star quality and inspirational leadership the country needs during the challenging months ahead.
It's time to Bring Back Boris.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, Truss's Business Secretary, declared his support for the former Prime Minister — 'Boris or Bust':

Pollster Matt Goodwin pointed out that while Rishi is more popular overall with British voters, Boris still leads those who voted in the 2019 election:
While Sunak leads, marginally, among all voters, @BorisJohnson holds commanding 19-pt lead among 2019 voters party needs to win back if it is to have hope of avoiding oblivion. No easy answers for a party that is about to make one of the most important decisions in its history
— Matt Goodwin (@GoodwinMJ) October 21, 2022
The video from 2012 showing Boris, who was then Mayor of London and promoting the Olympics that year, went viral:
However, The Sun's Harry Cole reminded everyone that Boris still had the upcoming Privileges Committee investigation to deal with. If it goes badly, he might have to resign as an MP:
Johnson supporters need to give an answer on what happens about the privileges committee today really. https://t.co/ntTq0yC9mr
— Harry Cole (@MrHarryCole) October 21, 2022
Conservative MPs could schedule a motion to cancel the investigation. That would have to be approved by the Commons, but as the Conservatives have a current majority of 71, it could still be overturned. This Sun reporter thinks it is unlikely, however:
Important to note that the chances of this actually happening are extremely low and discussion doesn't = action

Truss's Deputy Chief Whip Craig Whittaker requested that his name be removed from Guido's list of Boris supporters. His post requires impartiality:
For clarity my name appeared on @GuidoFawkes last night as a supporter of the @BorisJohnson campaign. At NO POINT have I contacted Guido. As DCW I have to maintain the integrity, authority and impartiality of the office. Correction from Guido expected and appreciated https://t.co/nmKWJFILTE
— Craig Whittaker MP (@CWhittaker_MP) October 21, 2022
Emily Maitlis, formerly of the BBC, reacted characteristically to news that Boris was running in the leadership contest:
Maitlis Reacts to News of Boris Standing https://t.co/XnJJ6KFwx4 pic.twitter.com/iOp0fRp15g
He's the one they're all afraid of.
— It's Reg. (@FourAdamThirty) October 21, 2022
Guido has the audio and reported:
Emily Maitlis meanwhile learnt the Boris news live on her News Agents podcast. You'll never guess her reaction…
Shouldn't hurt Boris's chances…
Rishi takes the lead
Maitlis needn't have worried.
By 11 a.m. on Friday, Rishi had just edged past Boris:
UPDATE: Rishi Takes Lead with 53, Boris 52, Penny 19https://t.co/q5zwqJrv2n pic.twitter.com/Yj31BJNMHU
A half hour later, Rishi's momentum was beginning to build:
Rishi 55, Boris 52, Penny 19https://t.co/q5zwqJrv2n pic.twitter.com/YSPSSdQSta
Boris backers hadn't lost hope, however. The fact that Ben Wallace, the Defence Secretary, supported him was an added fillip:
Literally five minutes ago I had a Conservative MP tell me they expected Johnson to get the 100+ MP nominations needed to reach the final two, and to win among Tory members. Now Ben Wallace has seemingly endorsed him, that appears notably more likely. Brace for more chaos.
— Peter Walker (@peterwalker99) October 21, 2022
That afternoon, Opinium posted their snap poll on who the public supported. Rishi was the clear winner. Even Penny beat Boris:

Boris gained support from more of the Red Wall. Teesside mayor Ben Houchen is a Party member and not an MP. Simon Clarke was Truss's Levelling Up Secretary:
Truss-Backing Simon Clarke and Rishi-Backing Ben Houchen Come Out For Boris https://t.co/WLG3P5XXq3 pic.twitter.com/mY3JnJtC8N
Guido excerpted their letter to the Telegraph …
Boris is the person we need to lead our country and our party.
He won the greatest election victory for years on a mandate to unite and level up the UK, and inspired millions of people who had never voted Conservative before to get behind a generous, optimistic vision of what Britain can be.
People on Teesside love Boris because he recognised that while talent is evenly distributed across the country, opportunity is not. Boris gave us that opportunity.
Teesside has had difficult times and is now levelling up because of Boris. We know that for us, like Boris, the comeback will be greater than the setback.
… adding:
Houchen is a real loss for Rishi…
By 3:45, Rishi was well on his way to 100 backers. Boris was now lagging behind, and Penny was stuck:

In the early evening, an MP from the 2019 intake, Antony Higginbotham, representing the traditionally Labour constituency of Burnley, came out for Boris:

Two hours later, veteran MP Bill Cash also announced his support for Boris:
I'm backing @BorisJohnson and call on others to do so now. Action this day!
— Bill Cash (@BillCashMP) October 21, 2022
It seemed that most Boris backers were traditional Conservatives and Red Wall MPs.
Guido pointed out the Red Wall loyalty:

By contrast, Matt Hancock felt the need to produce a lengthy statement explaining why he was supporting Rishi:
I have worked incredibly closely with Boris, Rishi & Penny in Government. I admire all three

Saturday's papers
Saturday's papers were a mixed bag.

Their Thought for the Day was:
Haven't we all suffered enough?
The lead paragraph reads:
Just when you thought all salad-based puns had been exhausted, posh aubergine Bozo Johnson has emerged as one of the favourites to replace Lettuce Liz as PM.
Rumours began circulating about joint talks between Rishi and Boris:
DAILY MAIL : Could @BorisJohnson and @RishiSunak now UNITE to save Tories #TomorrowsPapersToday pic.twitter.com/TVqUepQIrj
Two papers played to Boris supporters — the Express …
EXPRESS: @BorisJohnson : 'I'm up for it….we are going to do this' #TomorrowsPapersToday pic.twitter.com/Xuly3sB245
… and the Sun:
THE SUN: I'm up for it! #TomorrowsPapersToday pic.twitter.com/x6p5QxzB4U
The paper's veteran Trevor Kavanagh explored both sides of the Boris equation in 'Boris Johnson is a political Humpty Dumpty with a giant ego who had such a great fall — but if he runs for PM, he'll win':
… Boris Johnson, the political Joker who makes half the nation smile while the rest are spitting chips, is gearing up for another pitch at the premiership.
He needs 100 MPs' votes and may well get more.
If he runs, he wins — that's my prediction for what it's worth in this tumultuous here-today, gone-tomorrow blur of Tory leaders, challengers and assassins.
And even if he doesn't win, what a pleasure to hear the screams of fury from Labour, Lib Dems and Scot Nats — amplified through the impartial BBC's 100-decibel speakers …
These puce-faced wets don't seem to realise they are fuelling the pro-Boris momentum which might propel him back into Downing Street and even produce another sensational election win.
Happily, their moans are drowned out by cheers from Red Wall Tory MPs who credit Boris with winning their seats in Parliament.
They want Boris back and so do millions of voters across the land.
It may be deeply irresponsible to say so, but this is diamond-studded 24-carat political entertainment and I for one am enjoying the ride.
Don't get me wrong — I am not watching BoJo: The Movie through rose-coloured glasses, or even suggesting that it makes sense.
Boris Johnson must take much of the blame for the catastrophic mess the country is in, politically and economically.
But he won his 2019 80-seat landslide majority fair and square.
It was an almost entirely personal achievement beyond the reach of any other politician.
He used that majority to achieve great things, ramming Brexit through Parliament, the Covid vaccination triumph and leading global support for Ukraine.
He also blew it as the "Greased Piglet" PM who believes rules are for little people, not him …
It was such casual conduct that handed Labour grounds for a kangaroo court trial for lying to Parliament — a hurdle still to be cleared.
But for such careless affronts to good governance, Boris Johnson would still be Prime Minister right now.
The Pound would be steady, mortgages manageable, inflation past its peak.
We would not have seen the eye- popping political convulsions which turned Britain into a global laughing stock.
The soap opera is not over yet.
Whoever wins next week must choose a new Cabinet and pick a way through the ruins.
If it is Boris, it should at least end the clamour — choreographed yesterday across all BBC networks — for a snap General Election.
Boris won't have to face the tricky question: "Who Voted for You?" …
Without Boris, the Conservative Party faces certain defeat by 2025.
Boris has the magical Heineken ability to reach voters other politicians cannot reach.
It's a gamble, a glitterball Who Dares Wins test of luck and daring.
Even Netflix couldn't make it up.
But for the Tories, it is the only game in town.
For the next 24 hours I had hope.
More on the contest will follow tomorrow.
Rees-Mogg has pointed out that Liz Truss served two terms as PM: one under Elizabeth II and one under Charles III.
I saw someone point out the other day that Charles left about half an hour between accepting the Truss resignation and appointing Sunak. That means that Charles ruled the country for 30 minutes. No harm done, though.
churchmouse
I was one who pointed out that Charles was in charge of us for 30 minutes and wrote that someone on GB News mused that perhaps an absolute monarchy wasn't so bad after all.

By golly, it WAS you. And thank you for it.
Just thank our lucky stars that COP27 wasn't happening at the time.
Re COP27: according to Guido Fawkes's readers, the BBC have been harping on about it all morning. Part of me would like to see Boris attend and Rishi stay in London just to see what sort of fireworks would erupt.

The boys are more chill; women rats are busy all the time and I needed someone who would be able to provide a certain amount of calm for Alice during a turbulent time. It even made me cry. And for the love of all that is holy and unholy, put tissues in them. These memories were each about something needed for the story; people, pets, places etc. I found some of the exposition about running tedious but that's because I've been running for a dozen years, non-runners would need to exposition, I think.
Alice finds she really likes the sport, and soon lands a job in Joan's running store. Rachel can write like hell--she's got the firepower and understands how the simple act of becoming a runner changes lives for the better. Weaknesses: Alice had a very high slappage factor. The romance is what I call light and sweet. Alice finds she really likes the sport, and soon lands a job in Joan's running store. I came to this conclusion because the story is told through a list of event in chronological order that lead to the end of the novel. Fresh and imaginative, it hooked me from the first page.
On the Road to Find Out chronicles a crisis period in Alice's life, a period of time where we get to see her grow up. I found a lot of inspiration in this book review coming soon , and I would like to send a big thank you to Rachel for taking the time to answer some questions for us. I know that you have had several unusual pets. My book Admissions Confidential was about the simple fact that most kids, even if they do everything right, are still probably not going to get into a fancy-pants school. I hate not being good at things. Rachel can write like hell--she's got the firepower and understands how the simple act of becoming a runner changes lives for the better.
A senior writer at Running Times magazine, she teaches at Eastern Washington University in Spokane. I want to throw myself into the world and at new things. She does decide, rather randomly, to start running on New Year's Day, and keeps it up. Readers of any age, runner or not, are sure to find this book both inspiring and endearing. Her outlook and prospects improve over the course of the book, but I can't say I was really cheering for her at that point. I want to be clear about it so none of my friends will waste time on it or think I'm recommending it in any. At around mile eleven, you might start to feel a little tired.
In some ways, this book was not as fully developed as I would have liked. I thought this was a lazy way of getting informati While the story of this book wasn't all that bad, I was not a fan of the writing. The big problem would be who could play Walter, perhaps the best and most loveable character in the novel. Rachel can write like hell--she's got the firepower and understands how the simple act of becoming a runner changes lives for the better. He'd found a tree he had to pee on. That might have been more than I needed to know. In this book Alice is the main character.
That means I will fail at some and succeed at others. Fresh and imaginative, it hooked me from the first page. He was the perfect coach. She's completely self-absorbed, though she'd never admit it, because it's not in the stuck-up, snotty way you think of. Teen Reader Average: A- Erin graded the book a A: On the Road to Find Out, by Rachel Toor, followed Alice, a senior in high school. But you brush yourself off and keep going.
I enjoyed how the author always clarified things through different perspectives. But reading this book somehow made me feel like, 'I could do that! The book is about finding yourself and finding what makes you happy. The main character was insufferable and had no redeeming qualities. Readers of any age, runner or not, are sure to find this book both inspiring and endearing. When things go further south in her life, it's hard for her to run, but eventually she breaks out of her depression to notice that other people in her life are cutting her a lot of slack, and if she really wants to accomplish anything, she needs to get her act together.
So she ran one day and really liked it. I am definitely not a runner. I tell myself it will still count if I only go for ten minutes. Leila Sales, author of This Song Will Save Your Life In a light and gently humorous romance, self-centered Alice learns to run, to cope with disappointment and to consider other people's feelings. One of the major themes in this book is if you are going through a hard time there is always a way get in a good mood again. Toor presents the joys and struggles of a new runner honestly, with a cast of experienced runners showing the way. We support diversity in teen literature and can't wait to discuss our recommendations with you.

Disney Executive Al Weiss To Retire
POSTED: Thu, 06/23/2011 - 09:00 | POSTED BY: Melinda Gregory
Al Weiss, the president of worldwide operations for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, will be retiring from that role immediately after thirty-nine years of service. The decision was annouced through a letter distributed to Disney employees yesterday afternoon.
Weiss was eigtheen years old when he began his career with Disney as a worker in the Magic Kingdom. Over the years, he's held more than twenty jobs with the company including finance manager and vice president of resort operations support. He also served as president of Disney world from 1994 - 2005.
In addition to his work with Disney, Weiss also has kept active in the central Florida community. Currently, he can be found on the board of directors for the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute as well as involved in Vision360, the program he helped co-found that builds Christian churches.
In his letter of resignation, Weiss had this to say: "While I will miss the great people, exciting projects and stellar vision of Disney, I am very excited to begin the next chapter of my life. I will not miss my weekly Monday morning commute to California, but I will look forward to spending time with family, grandchildren and friends and traveling this great big world in which we live."
Though he stepped down from his executive position effective yesterday, Weiss will still remain with Disney and will work with Disney Parks Chairman Tom Staggs until November 1, 2011.

Darden's Inaugural Africa Week Showcases Continent's 'Vast Opportunities'
The Darden Africa Business Organization's (DABO) first-ever Africa Week showcased the opportunities and challenges of doing business in the dynamic and diverse continent.
The student-run Africa Week hosted prominent speakers from around the world with business experience in Africa and included social events for the Darden community throughout the week.
"I wanted to organize Africa Week to expose my Darden classmates to aspects of the African business climate and encourage them to look at Africa as they navigate their careers," said DABO president Agatha Patterson (Class of 2018). "I also organized the week because I have enormous pride in where I'm from and wanted to share some of my culture, and the cultures of other African students at Darden, with our classmates."
The events kicked off with keynote speaker Andrew Dell, the former CEO of HSBC Africa, the African unit of one of the world's largest banking and financial services organizations.
"His presentation touched on a few key misconceptions about Africa, namely its size and diversity," shared Raoul Kouamou (Class of 2018), who attended many of DABO's Africa Week events. "He also addressed the rise of democracy, improved governance and peace on the continent that makes investing in Africa increasingly valuable."
Darden alumnus Augustin Apetey (MBA '02) joined Africa Week virtually from Ivory Coast, where he serves as the vice president of strategic investments, M&A Africa, for Olam International, a multinational corporation that promotes sustainable development around the world. Apetey shared his story and spoke about the Olam Livelihood Charter — an initiative that empowers farmers in the developing world.
Africa Week's final guest speaker was Carlo Matta, managing director of Optimum Asset Management. Matta shared his entrepreneurial journey to West Africa, where he developed high-value commercial properties in Ghana and Nigeria.
"One of the main takeaways I gleaned from Carlo's presentation is that there are usually three 'whys', or reasons, behind every big decision," Raoul said. "It is important to ask yourself 'why' again and again to get to the bottom and uncover your true motivations in making critical decisions. This is how you can test whether you are making a good decision."
Other Africa Week events included First Coffee featuring coffees from Rwanda, Kenya and Ethiopia; an African wine and cuisine night featuring traditional Nigerian food and South African wines; a Black Panther screening event; and an African dance workshop on Friday afternoon to conclude the week's events.
"I think Africa Week was a great success, particularly because this was the inaugural one," said DABO member Asong Lekeaka (Class of 2019). "Our guest speakers were amazing and painted a picture of Africa that I felt was in line with my experience when I visit Cameroon. We discussed the challenges in Africa, but also the business opportunities that are present in those challenges. The theme woven throughout the events of the week was that there are vast opportunities in Africa and it is important that Africa remains on the radar of the Darden community."
Lekeaka will serve as DABO's president for the 2018 – 2019 academic year, and said he is looking forward to growing the organization.
"This year's leadership did a remarkable job building the organization's presence at Darden and I certainly look forward to planning next year's Africa Week," Lekeaka said. "My hope is that the conversation around African business and the promise of African economies becomes more integrated in discussions at Darden. I think that there was a lot of value in what was presented this year and my expectation is that next year would have even greater attendance and participation from the Darden community."
DABO worked in partnership with other student organizations to sponsor the events, including Net Impact at Darden, Darden Wine and Cuisine Club, Black Business Student Association, Darden Technology Club and the Adam Smith Society, as well as Darden's Office of Student Affairs, Center for Global Initiatives and Richard A. Mayo Center for Asset Management.
Africa Week at Darden began with the breaking of bread together at Monday morning's First Coffee, featuring an Ethiopian honey bread called Dabo

This brochure provides the applicant with an overview of the specific requirements, preferred qualifications, application process, and timeline. It also describes the college and area. Please read this brochure prior to applying.
Nestled in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area of Oregon and Washington State, Columbia Gorge Community College served just over 4,300 students (1,680 credit students) in 2016-17. Current FTE is 844. The college draws most students (74 percent) from its district in Wasco and Hood River counties, Oregon, but reaches a dispersed rural population, with about 13 percent of students from Klickitat County, Washington, and others from 16 additional counties in Oregon and Washington.
Our mascot is the Chinook Salmon.
The college's main campus in The Dalles, Ore., (pop. 13,620) occupies 62 acres overlooking the Columbia River. The 13.5 acre Hood River campus is 30 minutes west.
The college offers six Associate degrees, seven Associate of Applied Science degrees and 14 certificates. The college established its nursing program in 2001; the curriculum is being revised to reflect membership in the Oregon Consortium of Nursing Educators. The renewable energy technology program, created in 2006, is evolving into Electro-Mechanical Technology (EM-Tech), adapting its original focus on wind energy to prepare students for a broader range of careers through a National Science Foundation grant.
Most CGCC students self-designate as Caucasian, while a large number are Hispanic/Latinx (27 percent). CGCC is a Hispanic Serving Institution, the first in Oregon to join the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (March 2017).
CGCC is expanding its support for the Latinx community. The campus Juntos ("Together") Club encourages students to reach their academic and career goals, while the college encourages access to higher education through ESOL, Culture Festivals, a LatinX Advisory Council and other avenues. CGCC sponsored a "Know Your Rights Workshop" with Immigration Counseling Services and DACA presentation this past year. CGCC's board unanimously declared the college a Sanctuary institution in 2017.
The Columbia Gorge encompasses diverse climates as the only sea-level passage through the Cascade Mountains. The western Gorge is temperate rainforest with more than 120 inches of rainfall annually; the eastern region is high desert with 20 inches or less. The college district includes both regions, a dramatic territory of waterfalls, whitewater rivers, four-season recreation and cultural history. People have lived here for at least 10,000 years, with some of the most important archaeological sites in North America a short drive from The Dalles. Lewis & Clark camped here … twice. The nearby snow-capped sentinels of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams are surrounded by national forests and wilderness.
Agriculture is an important industry, featuring wheat ranches, cherry, apple and pear orchards, and myriad vineyards. There's a robust culture of farmers' markets and locally-grown foods, microbrews and award-winning wines. Technology, aerospace, advanced manufacturing and wood products are other major industries, with companies such as Insitu, Google, SDS Lumber, Cardinal Glass, Sagetech and HoodTech.
Year-round recreation entices visitors and residents alike with world-class boardsailing and kite-sailing, mountain and cross-country biking, hunting, rafting and kayaking. Anglers test their skills with salmon, sturgeon, trout, bass, walleye and catfish. Nordic and downhill skiers and snowboarders enjoy Mt. Hood, Oregon's tallest mountain and North America's only ski area open year-round, while Washington's Mt. Adams offers a remote wilderness experience. If you prefer sun, The Dalles has more than 300 sunny days per year. And, for an urban experience, the multi-cultural City of Portland is only an hour away, with an international airport.

Press Release: Hold public inquiry into West Ham & LLDC deal for rental of Olympic Stadium
Today, an unprecedented coalition of London football club supporters have come together to call for a full public inquiry into the deal agreed between West Ham United and the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) for the rental of the Olympic Stadium. This call comes in the wake of the recent BBC documentary which exposed the level of taxpayer subsidy being provided to West Ham United to occupy the stadium, and the subsequent calls for a public inquiry made by MP's Chris Bryant and David Lammy.
We believe this deal, many of the details of which remain secret even after a Freedom of Information Act request, raises serious questions about the level of taxpayer subsidy given to a private company. We are also deeply concerned about the competitive advantage given to one club over others through this taxpayer subsidy.
A spokesperson for the coalition said: "The fact that so many supporter groups have come together to call for this inquiry shows that the issues raised go beyond football tribalism. As football fans and as taxpayers, we want to see the preservation of fair competition and full transparency in public finances. This shady deal is not in the interests of the game of football and does little to promote public confidence in the way our money is being spent."
The organisations supporting this call are:
- Arsenal Supporters' Trust
- Charlton Athletic Supporters' Trust
- Chelsea Supporters' Trust
- Crystal Palace Supporters' Trust
- Fulham Supporters' Trust
- Leyton Orient Fans' Trust
- QPR1st Supporters' Trust
- Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust
A petition has been launched on the UK Government and Parliament site. A link to the petition can be found here.
Petition background:
Launch a full public inquiry into the deal agreed between West Ham United and the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) for the rental of the Olympic Stadium
We believe public money should be used responsibly, fairly, and in a way which does not distort the competitiveness of independent sports bodies and businesses. Yet, West Ham has only contributed £15m towards the £272m conversion costs of the Olympic Stadium, with the taxpayer footing the rest of the bill. The club has been allowed to keep the entire proceeds of the sale of their current stadium, last valued in their own accounts at £71m. Rental is said to be £2.5m per annum, dropping by half to £1.25m should West Ham be relegated, but recent revelations show that the taxpayer will also be picking up the costs of stadium utilities, security, maintaining the pitch, and even the goalposts and corner flags - estimated to be worth between £1.4m and £2.5m a year. Considering the cost to the taxpayer, and the effect of this taxpayer subsidy on competition between clubs, a full public inquiry into the deal is needed.


There are no words to describe how much I miss you every day. You were the light of my life and that light has been extinguished by this dreadful disease. I hold close the memories of our 39 yrs together and I live for the day when I can hold you again, my sweet Trinity. I love you forever.

The online warfare, which started after the Q&A, saw the "ProudofZarif" hashtag versus "ZarifIsALiar." Radio Farda Chief Editor Niusha Boghrati sought to gauge sentiments before an April 27 program on attitudes toward Zarif. The number of ZarifIsALiar hashtags turned out to be five times greater than ProudofZarif hashtags.
