Positive turnaround at Axminster Town
Published: 5:06 PM January 27, 2011 Updated: 11:14 AM November 7, 2020
AXMINSTER Town made the short journey to Exmouth and gave a good account of themselves before slipping to a 2-0 defeat.
It was another Tigers' performance of promise and, at half-time, they were on course to bank a rare point, only to concede two second half goals to return home empty handed once more.
An entertaining first half saw both teams create several clear scoring opportunities, but lack of composure, and some excellent goalkeeping, particularly from Tigers' glovesman Chris Higgs, meant the sides went into the break at 0-0.
In the second half the hosts took charge and two goals in ten minutes sealed the Tigers' fate.
Town boss Nick Ogden said: "On reflection, they were the better team overall, but, as was the case the week before, we did have periods of the contest, particularly during the first half, when we were their match and then some.
"The team's commitment and attitude were both spot on, and again they showed an improvement on the previous week's game.
"We are working hard at training and they are clearly starting to take on board what we are preaching both on the training ground and in the dressing room.
"They all played big parts but for me Higgy (goalkeeper Chris Higgs) was outstanding throughout."
Ogden continued: "At the moment what we are looking for is signs of week by week, and game by game, improvement.
"The players have been superb since I became involved and I can't fault them for effort and endeavour. We have also been very fortunate to start to see one or two of the previous players making a return to Sector Lane.
"We are looking to bring new players in but it is not easy trying to attract new faces to what is currently perceived to be a struggling outfit. I am very hopeful that we will be announcing a new recruit in the coming week."
The Tigers have a great chance to register that elusive first Peninsula League victory this weekend when they entertain the side sitting immediately above them at the foot of the table, Crediton United.

The Instant Pot name has become synonymous with multi-cookers, but the brand has introduced such a wide variety of models and versions of multi-cooker that it becomes tricky to decide between them. Here's a basic breakdown of the latest and most popular generations of pressure cookers and multi-cookers.
What Are the Different Instant Pot Models?
Every model of Instant Pot comes in a variety of sizes, from the mini three-quart appliances all the way up to ten. In general, we think a six-quart Instant Pot is perfect for most families (this model also boasts more than 150,000 positive reviews online so we're not alone). Different models also come with a variety of different automatic cooking settings which you may or may not find useful, as well as safety features like easier steam release to help prevent possible burns.
Here's what to know when looking for the best Instant Pot model for you.
Duo: This is the classic and also the most basic model of Instant Pot, so if you're a beginner you'll probably want to start here. The Duo has functions for seven different appliances at once, and the most basic model comes with 13 automatic one-touch settings. You'll also notice a number of subcategories of the Duo, including the Nova, the Evo, Plus, and Crisp, which may include a variety of additional functions. The Nova and Evo, for example, also come with a cooking progress indicator and automatic steam release, while the Crisp has an air fryer upgrade.
Ultra: The Ultra upgrade model is actually most similar to the Duo Evo Plus. Both contain 10 appliances at once rather than seven, but the Ultra has 16 smart programs as compared to the Evo Plus's nine. The Evo Plus also comes with a sous vide machine, while the Ultra allows you to adjust for altitude, which is a nice feature.
Max: The Max Instant Pot was designed to make cooking with the control panels easier as well as more precise. It has an upgraded sous vide capability, for example, and with pared down automatic presets, it eliminated the large number of buttons that some users have found confusing. It also cooks at a level as high as that of stovetop pressure cookers, which speeds up cooking time, and is great for canning.
Lux: Name aside, the Lux is really a slimmed down model of Instant Pot, combining six appliances in one rather than seven (you lose the yogurt-making function), high pressure settings but no low pressure settings, and without some of the convenience features you'll find in other models like the easy steam release.
1. Instant Pot DUO60
This is the most basic Instant Pot model on the market, with functions for slow cooking, pressure cooking, rice cooking, and yogurt making, as well as steaming, searing, and warming. The display is easy to read and understand, with an uncluttered array of automatic presets, making it perfect for beginners.
This is a 6-qt model, which is more than enough for a small family, or for single folks living in an apartment or dorm room. It doesn't take up too much space on the countertop, and everything you need to cook a meal is included here (well, minus the actual groceries).
Buy Instant Pot DUO60 $99.95
2. Instant Pot Ultra
Another 6-qt model, you get a few extra features with the Instant Pot Ultra, which allows for more customization, though the large number of one-touch settings and functions (which you operate using a dial-controlled LED display) can be overwhelming at first. Practical upgrades you might not notice right away include safety features like the extra sealing ring and easy steam release button.
Buy Instant Pot Ultra $139.99
3. Instant Pot Max
In addition to the 15psi pressure cooking power, which cooks food faster and allows for home pressure canning, the Max includes 13 safety mechanisms, including a "Venting" button on the LED display, which allows you to safely control steam release without manually flipping a switch and risking a burn.
The 6-qt capacity is the same as other models on our list, but this Instant Pot is a lot more powerful — perfect for more complicated meals, or when you want your stews and soups to cook in a flash.
Buy Instant Pot Max $149.99
4. Instant Pot Lux
Rather than adding features on, the Lux is a simplified version of the basic Instant Pot, with six appliance functions rather than seven, a pared down suite of one-touch controls, and three adjustable temperature settings. If you find too many adjustable settings more work than it's worth, you'll like this bare necessities version.

NASA's building blocks for a mission to Mars encompass a series of missions that will expand U.S. space capabilities to the point where humans can safely travel to the Red Planet. Today, NASA is working with commercial partners to obtain affordable access to low Earth orbit from U.S. companies and learning the fundamentals of living and working in space about the International Space Station. NASA will begin travelling beyond Earth orbit in September 2014 with the first flight of the Orion spacecraft, then in a few years redirect an asteroid to high lunar orbit for scientific studies. Earth independent missions, such as flying humans to Mars, are expected in the 2030s. Image released March 4, 2014.
NASA unveiled its 2015 budget request on Tuesday (March 4), a $17.5 billion spending plan that would maintain the space agency's major ongoing missions, while supporting ambitious new science missions and making cuts to others.
This budget keeps us on the same, steady path we have been following — a stepping stone approach to send humans to Mars in the 2030s. It's a path that has seen many recent successes, from the launch of the Global Precipitation Measurement mission last week — the first of an unprecedented five Earth Science launches this year — to returning space station resupply missions to U.S. soil with private American companies …to the power-up of Orion and the countdown toward its first flight test later this year …to the final mirrors for the James Webb Space Telescope being delivered.
This budget ensures that the United States will remain the world's leader in space exploration and scientific discovery for years to come. The budget supports the administration's commitment that NASA be a catalyst for the growth of a vibrant American commercial space industry, and keeps us on target to launch American astronauts from right here in the USA by 2017, ending our reliance on others to get into space and freeing us up to carry out even more ambitious missions beyond low-Earth orbit.
Read NASA chief Charles Bolden's full statement on the 2015 budget request here.
With the proposed budget, the Administration continues to communicate the importance of having a strong national space program that can further our presence in space and benefit life here on Earth.
We applaud the robust support for Commercial Crew and Space Technology which will strengthen our space industrial base, and secure the nation's place as a leader of exploration and innovation. We look forward to working with Congress to achieve the highest levels of funding for these critical programs.
The budget proposal for planetary science is significantly better than in past years, but is still far below the levels approved by Congress and isn't sufficient to meet the priorities laid out in the decadal survey – which put the highest priorities on Mars 2020, a Europa flagship mission, and the Discovery and New Frontiers missions. While I'm pleased to see the budget continues to provide funding for the Mars Exploration Program, in particular the Mars 2020 mission, and recognizes the importance of a future mission to Europa, a far greater investment will be necessary to ensure America's preeminence in planetary science.
The Administration should recommit to keeping the Mars 2020 project on track and on time, and to a far-reaching Europa mission. Thanks to the brilliant scientists at JPL, we have the unique ability to design, fly and land sophisticated robots on our planetary neighbors – and if these projects are disrupted, we might lose this perishable and incredibly specialized talent pool. America's leadership on planetary science is not something we should surrender, and is something that my colleagues on the House Appropriations Committee have supported repeatedly. I look forward to working with my colleagues, once again, to restore adequate funding to planetary science and only wish it wasn't necessary to do so year after year.
The president's proposal of $17.46 billion in FY15 funding for NASA is very close to the FY14 appropriation of $17.64 billion. Additional NASA funding proposed within the Opportunity, Growth and Security Initiative would increase NASA's FY15 funding to $18.4 billion.
With NASA's budget at a historic low as a percentage of the federal budget, we strongly support the $18.4 billion proposal as a bare minimum.
The increase of funding for commercial crew programs from $696 million in FY14 to $848 million in FY15 could not come at a better time. Soyuz prices are set to increase yet again, and our dependence upon Russia for key space capabilities is certain to be scrutinized in view of world events.
All International Space Station budget lines would be fully funded, which is important to sustaining ISS operations to 2024.
Overall, the President's budget request is a realistic, yet bold plan for action. I look forward to further examining the proposals in the President's budget that fall under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. The future of American innovation and leadership rest on the investments we make today. In that regard, I am happy to see the Administration take a more deliberative and transparent approach to our nation's STEM education efforts. Preparing our next generation for the jobs of tomorrow should be our top priority.
Budget increases for some agencies and programs will help maintain U.S. leadership in science and innovation. However, I am disappointed to see flat or even decreased funding in a number of key areas of the federal government's R&D budget. For example, the budget request for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration fails to even meet the 2014 enacted funding level and, if enacted, will hinder the agency's performance in the coming years.
To provide for additional investments, the President included a proposal to Congress titled "Opportunity, Growth and Security Initiative." I support the goal of increasing our investments in R&D STEM education and I hope to work with the President and my colleagues to further clean energy technologies and grid modernization, as well as advanced manufacturing initiatives and research on the impacts of climate change.


Prussia in its modern meaning came into existence only in 1701, when the elector of Brandenburg assumed the title "King in Prussia." Before then Prussia meant only the flat, sandy region later known as East Prussia (excluding the bishopric of Ermeland), separated from Brandenburg by a part of Poland (later known as West Prussia) and bordering on the Baltic Sea. The original inhabitants, the Borussi (or Prussians), were of Baltic stock. They were conquered and largely exterminated by the Teutonic Knights in the 13th century. The Knights effected the Germanization of Prussia.
Stendal lies in the Altmark which in the present day comprises the northern third of Saxony-Anhalt. The territory of the former margraviate and federal state, known colloquially (but not accurately) , as the Mark Brandenburg, lies in present-day eastern Germany and western Poland. Geographically it encompassed the majority of the present-day German states Brandenburg and Berlin, the Altmark (the northern third of Saxony-Anhalt), and the Neumark (now divided between Poland's Lubusz and West Pomeranian Voivodeships). Parts of the present-day federal state Brandenburg, such as Lower Lusatia and territory which had been Saxon until 1815, were not parts of the Mark.
Firstly the fact that almost continuous war and strife, not only in Germany but across the European states led to large-scale poverty and hunger amongst the poor. During the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1713), Prussia suffered economically. Most devastating was the famine which struck the Duchy in Prussia 1709-1712 under King Friedrich I. (1688-1713, When Friedrich III. died in 1713, he left behind state debt. His successor, Friedrich Wilhelm, was thrifty to such an extent that he was called avaricious, and a Barbarian (for discontinuing to provide for lavish artistic entertainment at court). These conditions in the 17th and early 18th century Brandenburg was compounded by the fact that you could be impressed as soldier by any of the armies passing through the region. In 1740, Prussia's army was the fourth strongest, by numbers, in Europe (83,000 men).
When King Friedrich (Frederick) I. died in 1713; he was succeeded by Friedrich Wilhelm I. (1713-1740), nicknamed Soldatenkönig (soldier king). Like his grandfather, he focussed state policy, state spending, on the army. He was particularly fond of the Lange Kerls, a regiment of exceptionally tall soldiers. In order to recruit soldiers, trickery, deceit, pressure and violence were used, occasionally even abduction. Rigorous discipline was enforced, deserters treated barbarically. Friedrich Wilhelm treated his own son, the future Friedrich (Frederick) the Great, with a similar harshness; when young Friedrich, with a close friend, attempted to flee the country, the soldier king had the friend executed and had young Friedrich look on. During this period farmers that owned little or no land continued to search for work, often temporarily migrating to work elsewhere during the harvest season. Some were permanently attracted by the rural industries which flourished especially after 1750, whilst others came to live in large cities that, being centres of trade and administration, needed many employees.
Secondly; some 550Km away in Amsterdam the VOC started to experience problems with recruitment. The VOC was, without doubt, the largest private employer of the world in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. The often cited data on the numbers of sailors, soldiers and others that sailed in the service of the VOC to Asia demonstrate the impressive size of its workforce. Between 1602 and 1795, nearly one million men went overseas of which only one third returned. The local and national labour market was far too small to provide sufficient workers for the Company. Sometimes the shipbuilding industry of the VOC competed with the shipping industry. For instance, in total the VOC fitted out some 4700 ships, nearly 1700 in the seventeenth century and a good 3000 in the eighteenth. When there were many ships to be built, there was much employment and this created a lack of sailors. Many came from Germany, but there were also many VOC-servants from Scandinavia, the Southern Netherlands, France and England. In the beginning of the 18th century only the officers on most VOC-ships were still Hollanders.
As the initial territory of the Brandenburg margraves, the Altmark is sometimes referred to as the "Cradle of Prussia". The Altmark is located west of the Elbe river between the cities of Hamburg and Magdeburg, mostly included in the present-day districts of Altmarkkreis Salzwedel and Stendal. In the west the Drawehn hill range and the Drömling depression separate it from the Lüneburg Heath in Lower Saxony; the Altmark also borders the Wendland region in the north and the Magdeburg Börde in the south. Adjacent east of the Elbe is the historical Prignitz region.
The population is small. The cultural landscape within the North European Plain is rural and widely covered with forests and heathlands. The largest towns are Stendal, with a present-day population of 39,000, and Salzwedel. The most famous native is Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck, born at Schonhausen, in the Altmark, April 1, 1815.
The Altmark remained with the Brandenburg margraviate, since 1415 held by the House of Hohenzollern, and thereby became part of rising Brandenburg-Prussia and of the Kingdom of Prussia upon its creation in 1701.
The two traditional naming conventions are the Cape Dutch and the German traditions respectively.
Additionally, if a child should die, the next child's name will revert to the convention.
The German tradition did not have a set convention, but generally children were named after the witnesses to the baptism/christening. The function of the witnesses were not so much as to witness the event, but rather to ensure that the parents complied with their vows and to accept the responsibilities for care of the child if the parents should meet with misfortune.
Baptisms in the early days did not necessarily take place on a Sunday and in church. Because of the difficulties in getting to towns by ox wagon or horse and cart, and the spread-out distribution of the nomadic farmers, the ministers did the travelling. So that if a minister was visiting a certain area, the word would be spread to the Trekkers. Thus they would meet on a given day of the week on a farm in the barn or house. At such times all the un-baptised children would be baptised and the minister would travel onwards to the next area.
From Leonard Guelke, "The Early European Settlement of South Africa, " (PhD diss., University of Toronto, 1974), 409.
This section only provides a very high level overview of the situation.
By 1740, in the Cape of Good Hope, the phenomenon of the Trekboer had begun as more and more farmers became stock farmers due to overproduction of argricultural products which had to be sold the the VOC (at set VOC tariffs). Families were large, forcing young men to find grazing land for their stock. These men would pack their belongings in a wagon and become nomadic farmers moving northwards, both to find better grazing for their livestock and to escape the autocratic rule of the VOC who still governed the Cape.
The trek farmers followed a routine whereby they would graze the land rented from the VOC until, due to the relatively small sizes, the land became exhausted and they would merely pack up and trek to the next available grazing land. Intense resistance from the San people (the so-called Bushman) were experienced in which the pioneer farmers would suffer stock theft and continued sporadic attacks by the San over a period of more than 20 years. This resulted in several punitive expeditions against the San. At the same time, though, it was not uncommon for the farmers to employ Khoikhoi (also referred to colloquially as the Hottentot) people to help them in herding the cattle, to the point of arming them.
By 1778 the border of the Swellendam district had reached the Great Fish River, which then became the Eastern border. The VOC, concerned that they were losing control over the population, were forced to follow in their tracks and establish new districts such as Swellendam and Graaff Reinet. The frontier farmers, however, kept on moving across the borders. This eventually put them in a position of direct conflict with the Xhosas who were not prepared to part easily with their own heritage.
The districts were very large which sometimes leaves the researcher in a quandary. A child may have been born in Graaff-Reinet but until it became an established district, the birth would be recorded as being in Stellenbosch.
Thus it was that by the time the Great Trek, one of the greatest mass-migrations in history started in 1835, most of the trekkers were already in the present-day districts of Graaff-Reinet, Middelburg, Cradock, Aliwal North and Burgersdorp. Indeed some farmers had already crossed the Great River (also known as the Orange and Gariep).

Shroud of Turin: Interview with Researcher Who Debunked the 1988 'Medieval' Dating
Myra Kahn Adams | Nov 03, 2019
Idaho Scores A Win Against Homeless Encampments Sarah Arnold
French researcher Tristan Casabianca, used with permission.
In mid-July, I wrote a piece that was popular with Townhall readers headlined: "Shroud of Turin: New Test Concludes 1988 'Medieval Hoax' Dating Was a Fraud."
The headline reflected the conclusion of French researcher Tristan Casabianca and his team of scientists, who in March published their results in the scholarly journal Archaeometry titled: "Radiocarbon Dating of the Turin Shroud: New Evidence from Raw Data."
In 2017, Casabianca took legal action to obtain the raw data used in the controversial 1988 radiocarbon dating test on the Shroud of Turin — data that had been deliberately sequestered for three decades. Disputed by scientists from day one, the test results concluded with "95% confidence" that the Shroud — which millions of Christians believe is the authentic burial cloth of Jesus Christ — was dated between 1260 and 1390.
Shroud scientists are optimistic that Casabianca's breakthrough, obtaining and retesting the 1988 raw data with contrary results, will increase pressure on the Vatican to authorize new comprehensive 21st century Shroud testing.
The following interview was conducted by email from Casabianca's home in Paris, France.
Myra Adams: What were your expectations and state of mind in 2017 when you first filed legal action against the British Museum (that supervised the three laboratories which had each performed the 1988 dating test) compelling the museum to release the raw test data they had been accused of "hiding" for 29 years?
Tristan Casabianca: My primary interest in studying the Turin Shroud focused more on the historical and philosophical questions and less about the medieval date controversy. But, the dating issue was unavoidable when, in 2017, I presented a Shroud conference paper titled: "Do we really need new evidence and arguments about the Turin Shroud?"
Afterward, I realized how much the radiocarbon test's medieval date conclusion still resonated within the Shroud scientific community and negatively impacted public opinion — despite newer evidence dating the cloth to the First Century. And, since nearly 30 years had passed, I wanted to try to put an end to this dating controversy.
First, I thought: What actions were never taken to obtain the raw data? Thanks to my legal background, the answer was obvious: A request based on the Freedom of Information Act.
MA: You were baptized in 2016, and filed the legal action against the British Museum in 2017. Was there a connection? By trying to obtain the data that could invalidate the 1260 to 1390 Shroud dates, were you seeking physical evidence of the suffering and resurrection of Jesus to help solidify your faith?
TC: There is no direct connection between my baptism and this legal request. But, before I filed, I asked myself if I was truly open-minded about the authenticity of the Turin Shroud. However, if the cloth turned out to be medieval in origin, I would have been surprised, but the dating would not impact my faith in the resurrection.
Christians have no reason to be afraid of the truth and no reason to be afraid of the current scientific process.
MA: Quoting from your L'Homme Nouveau interview (Google translates into English), you stated: "Our work appeared at the end of March on the site of Archaeometry, a magazine published on behalf of the same University of Oxford department that participated in the 1988 dating."
That said, do you think by publishing your research in their magazine, Oxford was indirectly admitting that their dating the Shroud between 1260 and 1390 with "95% confidence" could be flawed? Is Oxford more open now to exploring your team's conclusion?
TC: Our research article co-authored by Shroud expert Emanuela Marinelli and statisticians Giuseppe Pernagallo and Professor Benedetto Torrisi — now appears in the October print issue of Archaeometry. But, that does not mean this same Oxford department that tested the linen in 1988, now officially or unofficially supports our conclusions. More intriguing is that since March, the authors and institutions of the Nature article [stunning the world in 1988 after revealing that the Shroud dated between 1260 and 1390] have been invited to reply, and, as of this writing, have not.
In my opinion, Archaeometry posted our research paper because we brought new facts and data on this topic of international significance, and because, to put it simply, "maths don't lie." Furthermore, I would guess that it was also easier to accept our research article in the current context of Turin Shroud studies given that since the beginning of the 21st century, most of the Shroud articles published in major peer-reviewed journals provide elements in favor of dating the linen cloth to the First Century.
MA: In case readers are unaware, the Holy See (the governing body of the Roman Catholic Church headquartered at the Vatican) owns the Shroud, and only the Pope can authorize new 21st century testing granting hands-on access. As you know, in August, I wrote an open letter to Pope Francis, and cited your research, about how the 1260 – 1390 Shroud dates maligned the cloth since the announcement of the 1988 test results.
Tristan, after your research first posted in March, have you seen any positive signs that the Holy See is leaning toward authorizing new testing?
TC: No, but your letter to the Pope and interviews like this can help apply pressure. In May 2019, the University of Catania (Sicily) organized an important conference to discuss our findings with the possibility of new tests in the next few years. Surely the Holy See was watching.
The Shroud's next public exposition — rumored to be in 2025 — would provide the perfect platform for new testing. In my opinion, 30 years ago, the main testing error was a deliberative choice not to include radiocarbon dating as part of a series of multidisciplinary tests, with a robust, transparent and respected protocol. The decision to only authorize radiocarbon dating led to the dating failure, which for three decades stood as "fact" and defamed the Shroud as a "medieval fake."
MA: Do you think that the world in general fears that the Shroud could be the authentic burial cloth of Jesus? Therefore, isn't it easier for the secular media to continue the narrative that "the Shroud was created by a medieval artist"?
TC: I am highly confident that in the next few years, the failure of the Turin Shroud radiocarbon dating will largely be admitted by scientists. Those changes take some time, even when well supported by data and sound scientific reasoning.
Most of the scholars, media, and general public in our Western societies accept the idea that there can be no sound argument in favor of the existence of God or the resurrection of Jesus. It is a deep belief most of the time accepted without much critical thinking. I never expected that our findings would contribute to a sudden and dramatic change in the narrative of mainstream media or people's worldview. However, nowadays, a convincing historical case for Jesus's resurrection can be made, and, given our current knowledge of the artifact, the Shroud could be part of this argument. Anyway, studies on the Turin Shroud are more than ever part of the continued debate about the relationship between science and religion, faith and reason.
MA: Tristan, thanks for participating in this interview.
On Jan. 18, 2020, Tristan Casabianca will be visiting the U.S. for the first time since his research team debunked the conclusions of the 1988 radiocarbon dating test. Tristan, along with four world-renown Shroud experts will speak at a Shroud event hosted by the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C. titled, "Shroud of Turin: Explore the Mystery." Register here.

A Delaware entrepreneur and mom is receiving the prestigious Community Health Leaders Award from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Deborah Jastrebski of Newark is being honored for her work in creating health-care options for people with intellectual disabilities.
Jastrebski's son Mark, who is 22, has Down syndrome along with several health issues and has undergone many surgeries. As a child, he became terrified of all medical procedures. Jastrebski says simple dentist visits and blood draws turned into nightmares, with Mark screaming and being held down or subdued.
"As a mom that just tore me apart, and I said 'we won't do this to him anymore,' I had to find another way," Jastrebski recalled.
Since so many other families were experiencing the same difficulties, she turned this method into "Practice without Pressure" in 2002. Now hundreds of patients come to the offices annually to practice or to receive treatments. Practice without Pressure offers simple medical procedures, dental care as well as personal care. Staff is especially trained to first train patients to feel comfortable, and to make sure they remain comfortable and at ease during procedures.
Jastrebski says she is humbled and grateful to be honored for her work–and hopes to spread her method to train more health-care providers.
The annual Robert Wood Johnson "Community Health Leaders Award" honors ten individuals who work to improve the health and quality of life for disadvantaged or under-served communities across the country.

Is Disneyland undercutting its new Marvel land?
Announcing that the new land's marquee attraction won't open until 'phase two' dampens fans' enthusiasm to visit.

Disney and theme park fans heard a lot of exciting news at the recent D23 Expo in Anaheim. But there was one phrase said there that I was hoping not to hear.
"Phase two."
After detailing the new Spider-Man ride coming to Disney California Adventure next year, Disney Parks Chairman Bob Chapek revealed that another Marvel-themed attraction will follow in a "phase two" for the new Avengers Campus land. The second attraction will include a Quinjet ride to Wakanda, where visitors will join the Avengers in a battle to save the world.

That sounds amazing. But announcing a land's second phase before the first opens often throws more water than fuel on fans' excitement.
Disney clearly wants to build immersive worlds that will make theme park fans forget about rival Universal's The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. But Disney's Star Wars and Marvel franchises offer too few of the appealing destinations that J.K. Rowling created in her Wizarding World. That's part of the reason why Disney's Imagineers had to create their own planet of Batuu for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Where else would they put it? Star Wars keeps blowing up Death Stars, and its surviving planets are almost always ones that its characters are trying to escape.
Marvel sets its most of stories in a variety of generic city centers, but Black Panther's Wakanda offers a true rival to the Wizarding World. An African kingdom with technology indistinguishable from magic, it's a land that millions of fans long to visit.
Next to the opportunity to visit there, the new Spider-Man ride looks more like something out of the kiddie land that Avengers Campus is replacing. A screen-based shooter ride to capture escaped "spiderbots?" Are we pretending to be superheroes here… or computer network administrators?

I had hoped that Disney had learned its lesson from the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, when many visitors stayed home awaiting the opening of its "phase two" — the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance attraction that debuts in January. But apparently not.
Based on what Chapek described at D23 Expo, I would imagine many fans would just as soon wait for the action-packed adventure in Wakanda rather than spend all that money to go on another version of rides they can find at Legoland (Ninjago The Ride), Knott's Berry Farm (Voyage to the Iron Reef) and Six Flags Magic Mountain (Justice League and the Battle for Metropolis — which has the same "shoot the flying mini-robots" conceit).
I have no problem with Disney or any other company adding to and improving its attractions. Theme park fans love new stuff. But I don't think that parks do their attendance numbers any favors by announcing those improvements before their first phase debuts. For parks that cost hundreds of dollars a day to visit, like those at Disneyland, that's just an incentive to delay a trip rather than make two.

Acea switches on the Christmas lights in Rome, artistic lighting and famous quotes from personalities who have told the story of the Capital
This evening, in Via del Corso, the mayor of Rome, Virginia Raggi, and the President of Acea, Michaela Castelli, switched on the Christmas lights provided by Acea. More lights will be lit in the other 14 Municipalities across the city. The traditional ceremony is part of the initiatives organized by the City of Rome for the festive season. This year's project has elaborated on last year's Roma by light Acea™ format, coming up with a more artistic approach for the traditional Christmas lights. In Via del Corso, the lights come in the form of a 1,500-meter-long starry sky featuring famous quotes and verses that tell the story of Rome through the voices of its poets and its people. From Orazio to Goffredo Mameli, from Ennio Morricone to Federico Fellini, including some of the most authentic Roman artists, such as Gabriella Ferri, Lando Fiorini, Antonello Venditti, Nino Manfredi, Alberto Sordi and Gigi Proietti. The actor who died recently is remembered with the quote: "A coso, Roma è sintesi de tutto/Hey, whatever-your-name-is, Rome is the synthesis of everything". All created with the use of the latest lighting technology with a low environmental impact. The project is the work of Studio Medaarch, form Cava de' Tirreni, winner of the international "Make Christmas Lights Acea" 2019 contest, launched by Acea in collaboration with Maker Faire Rome-The European Edition. The photography contest "RomebyLight", launched to get the public involved in describing the Christmas lights, was also organized in collaboration with Maker Faire. The contest, which runs from 8 December to 6 January, will award the best photographs sent by participants using an app compatible with Ios and Android systems.
Acea Group's intervention during the 2020 festive season will include also other areas of the city. For example, in the other 14 Municipalities, as per tradition, Acea has installed Christmas trees in parks, squares and roadsides; Via Veneto, for the second consecutive year, has contributed to the lights on the trees along its pavements. For the first time, this year Piazza Navona will host a light show around its three monumental fountains (Fountain of the Four Rivers, Fountain of Neptune, Fountain and the Moro) every evening throughout the festive season.
"Once again, for the traditional Christmas lighting, Acea has presented an innovative project – said President Michaela Castelli. The lights in the historical center, in Via del Corso and Piazza Navona, are not just ordinary lights, but real artistic installations, which together with the Christmas trees across the Municipalities and the lighting in Via Veneto, are a symbol of Acea's support to the city and a tradition that is renewed every year during the festive season".


Napster subscribers can stream their favorite music throughout their home with Google Chromecast. Chromecast makes it easy to cast your favorite playlists, tracks and stations directly to your TV by firing up your Napster app and casting via your Android & iOS smartphone or tablet.
When you cast Napster, you can play songs instantly, without the interruption of ads from our global catalog of 40 million songs. Casting music with Napster is perfect for entertaining or if you are just relaxing at home, giving you the big screen advantage while keeping your music within arm's reach.
Using Napster on Chromecast is simple. Press the Cast icon in the action bar of your Napster Android or iOS app and your TV instantly mirrors what's on your device's screen.
Chromecast: Chromecast is a device that you plug into your TV's HDMI port, powered by a USB cable (included). Using your smartphone or computer as a remote control, you can use Chromecast to access video content from Napster, Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus, the Google Play Store and other services.
The basic requirements for Chromecast are a TV with an HDMI port and either a USB port or the ability to plug in a USB cable to a mains adaptor somewhere near the TV. It connects over Wi-Fi (only the Chromecast Ultra can support ethernet), and you'll also need some sort of device to use as a remote control - you can use an Android or iOS phone or tablet, or a PC, laptop or Mac (in the following walkthrough we are using an Android phone).
If users connects the Chromecast to a TV, they should use the AC power adapter, that way, when they starts casting, the Chromecast will power on the TV and switch the input selector to the Chromecast automatically. This feature requires HDMI-CEC, or HDMI Consumer Electronics Control, which most recent TVs support. Chromecast should work with any TV, computer monitor or projector with an HDMI input.
Users can set up Chromecast from a browser or an Android app. To setup from a browser, use the Chrome Browser and install the Google cast extension. To setup from an Android device, install the Chromecast app from the Google Play store.
The cast Icon is hidden in the volume control in the Napster iPad app. You can click on the volume button for the cast Icon.
What can customers stream with Chromecast?
Users can stream from their mobile device or PC to a TV.
Only audio streaming is possible with Napster - streaming videos is not possible.
Everyone with an active Napster subscription and the required devices (see setup).
If your Chromecast goes belly-up, or you come across a problem that just won't go away, you may need to restore it to factory settings. There are two ways to do this, both of which are very easy. The first way is to access the Settings menu on the Chromecast app, either on your PC or mobile device, and then click Restore Factory Settings. The second way is to hold down the Chromecast's physical button for 25 seconds.

Q: Lagrange multipliers and steepest-descent direction Let $h: R^n \to R$ be a continuously diferentiable function.
I know how to prove that there exists a solution to the steepest-descent direction of h at a, and the solution is given by
$$ \frac{Dh(a)}{|Dh(a)|}.$$ But I wonder if there is a way to prove it by lagrange multipliers, because the problem is
$$\begin{cases}min \quad D^{+}_vh(a)\\ s.t. \quad |v|=1\end{cases}$$

A: No, there is no way to prove it by Lagrange multipliers, because the geometry is different. In the steepest descent problem, you are searching for a direction ($v$ such that $|v|=1$) for which the change of the function (measured by the norm of the directional derivative in the direction $v$) is maximal. In the classical Lagrange multipliers setting, you have a function which you wish to maximise or minimise over some surface (also called, the "restriction"). In order to express the steepest descent problem in the Lagrange Multiplier setting, you would have to consider a function that maps pairs of functions and points (your $h$ and $a$) to the value of the directional derivative of $h$ at $a$ in the direction $v$, and then minimise (or maximise) this over the sphere. That this is not done that way, is because the geometry of the latter is too complicated.

Question 5/ Day 5 - What is the real subject of this scene?
Leading lines are one of the most effective and under-utilised compositional tools available to photographers. They are used to draw a viewer's attention to a specific part of the frame, whether it's a person, or a vanishing point in the background of the frame. A leading line also paves an easy path for the eye to follow through different elements of a photo. Usually they start at the bottom of the frame and guide the eye upwards and inwards, from the foreground of the image to the background, typically leading toward the main subject.
The image below was made in Zion National Park, Utah, USA. If you notice the leading line in the middle of the frame its taking your eyes from the foreground to the background. When I arrived at the location, my goal was to make an image that was powerful and yet conveyed the beautiful season of fall (Autumn). So, I decided to walk right into the middle of the freezing cold stream. I then secured my camera to my heavy-duty tripod and started walking into the middle of the stream. The water was flowing quite fast and I had to balance my self without dropping the camera into the water. Once I reached the middle of the stream, I started to make some images. I used a small aperture (large f-stop) and a very slow shutter speed to create the image below. The idea was to create the effect of dynamic water flowing down to the beautiful red cliffs. My feet were numb for nearly two days!
Hope you found this helpful! Stay tuned for tomorrow when we will discuss "THE SHAPE OF THINGS"


Whether you like Daydream Nation or not, really depends on your music tastes. If you're a fan of Sonic Youth, then you have no doubt heard of the titular album and this will certainly be up your street. Indie music fans in general should invest in this too; the album, has had a huge impact on music since its release, influencing many bands and genres. The album is seminal, a one-hundred-minute tour-de-force replete with feedback, distortion and experimental tuning. The film is a carefully crafted account of Sonic Youth playing the album in full to a fanatical Glasgow crowd at the currently charred O2 ABC. Director Lance Bangs gets to the heart of the action with an array of clever shots, capturing the band in the fugue state of performance and the concomitant trance of their followers.
The band open with a chilling rendition of 'Teen Age Riot', the album's opener and arguably their most famous song. They finish it with a display of pure noise, the band creating walls of feedback in ever more experimental ways. Guitarists Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore fence their guitars to create discordant notes and an enthralling spectacle. Kim Gordon stands by stoically, thrusting her bass into her amp whilst the others whirl around the stage dramatically. The rest of the concert is a frantic rendition of the album, encompassing close-up looks of the band totally enthralled in their music. The crowd feature as well, many of whom are dragged out of the mosh pit by wary security guards. There is very little chat from the band. This is a film focused entirely on the music.
It's hard to review Daydream Nation. Amongst Sonic Youth fans it will be hugely popular but it's hard to picture it gaining any traction outside of that niche group. The sound quality is excellent, neither overly distorted nor overly produced giving the film a true live sound. It's also very loud which is exactly what you want with a film of this nature. Credit must be given to Lance Bangs too for innovating what could have been a pretty standard concert piece. He makes use of a variety of cameras to capture the concert in its entirety, from the band to backstage to the crowd. The most exciting shots are from 2006-era camera-phone footage taken from the crowd that evening. It all blends together perfectly as the feedback-laden guitars crackle on the grainy phone shots.
Daydream Nation does exactly what it's set out to do: celebrate a seminal album with a well-mixed and cut recording of the band performing it. The film does not revolutionise the genre or shed new light on the band, but it is an exciting 90 minutes for fans of indie music, especially if the cinema has good speakers. This film won't be as good at home, but I also know that even in the cinema, nothing beats being there for it, live.

While 41 percent of Protestant churchgoers say they consume alcohol, 59 percent say they do not. That's a slight shift from 10 years ago, according to the LifeWay Research survey, which was conducted Aug. 22-30, 2017.
In a 2007 phone survey by LifeWay Research, 39 percent of Protestant churchgoers said yes they consumed alcohol while 61 percent said no.
Gallup surveys during the last 75 years have typically shown that two-thirds of all American adults have occasion to drink alcoholic beverages including 63 percent in 2018.
"While alcohol consumption continues to be seen as mainstream in the United States, churchgoers' attitudes about drinking haven't changed much in the past decade," said Scott McConnell, executive director of LifeWay Research.
Nearly 9 in 10 of churchgoers (87 percent) agree that Scripture says people should never get drunk. That's up from 82 percent in 2007.
But when it comes to total abstinence, fewer than a quarter (23 percent) of Protestant churchgoers believe Scripture indicates people should never drink alcohol. A majority (71 percent) disagree.
The share of churchgoers who say Scripture teaches against any kind of alcohol consumption has decreased six percentage points during the last decade. In 2007, 29 percent said Scripture directs people to never drink alcohol; sixty-eight percent disagreed.
When Christians drink socially, many churchgoers believe they could cause other believers to stumble or be confused. In 2017, 60 percent agree and 32 percent disagree. The portion who say drinking socially could cause others to stumble dropped slightly from 63 percent in 2007.
Researchers also found slightly more than half of churchgoers say Scripture indicates all beverages, including alcohol, can be consumed without sin (55 percent) and that Christians exercise biblical liberty when partaking alcohol in reasonable amounts (54 percent).
Attitudes and behaviors related to alcohol use vary based on age, geography, denominational affiliation and other demographic factors.
Male churchgoers are more likely to say they drink alcohol compared to women (48 percent vs. 37 percent).
Lutherans (76 percent) and Methodists (62 percent) are more likely to say they drink alcohol than Baptists (33 percent), non-denominational (43 percent) and Assemblies of God/Pentecostals (23 percent). See related Baptist Press story.
Churchgoers ages 18-34 are evenly split on their alcohol consumption with 50 percent saying they drink and 50 percent saying they don't. Forty-one percent of churchgoers ages 35-49 say they drink, while 59 percent do not; 44 percent of 50- to 64-year-olds say they consume alcohol, while 56 percent do not. Churchgoers age 65 and above were the least likely age group to say they drink alcohol with 32 percent saying yes to drinking alcohol and 68 percent saying no.
Among churchgoers, those with a higher education are more likely to say they drink than those with less education. Churchgoers with a graduate degree are most likely to say they drink alcohol (62 percent) followed by those with a bachelor's degree (59 percent), some college (46 percent) and those who are high school graduates or less (26 percent).
"Churchgoers' perspectives on alcohol are not changing very fast," McConnell said. "The majority believe that biblically they can drink, but they choose not to."
LifeWay Research conducted the study of 1,010 American Protestant churchgoers Aug. 22-30, 2017. The survey was conducted using the web-enabled KnowledgePanel, a probability-based panel designed to be representative of the U.S. population. For this survey, a nationally representative sample of U.S. Protestant and non-denominational adults (18 and older) which attends religious services once a month or more often was selected from the KnowledgePanel. Initially, participants are chosen scientifically by a random selection of telephone numbers and residential addresses. Persons in selected households are then invited by telephone or by mail to participate in the web-enabled KnowledgePanel. For those who agree to participate, but do not already have internet access, GfK provides at no cost a laptop and ISP connection.
Sample stratification and base weights were used for gender, age, race/ethnicity, region, metro/non-metro, home ownership, education and income to reflect the most recent U.S. Census data. Study specific weights included for gender by age, race/ethnicity, region, and education to reflect GSS 2016 data. The sample provides 95 percent confidence that the sampling error does not exceed plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. Margins of error are higher in subgroups.
Comparisons are made to a LifeWay Research phone survey conducted in April-May 2007 among 1,004 Protestant churchgoers.

Picture of the Month: ECG T-Shirts From the Peter L. Reichertz Institute for Medical Informatics
Our picture of the month April 2022 does not show a landscape on a distant planet, but a special fabric. The piece of fabric, which measures about four by two centimetres, can be found in various places on the inside of a so-called ECG T-shirt. It is used to measure an electrocardiogram (ECG) without the patients noticing anything. The Peter L. Reichertz Institute for Medical Informatics (PLRI) at Technische Universität Braunschweig and the Medizinische Hochschule Hannover is using this to research the future of health monitoring.

An ECG represents the electrical activity of the heart and is usually measured on an outpatient basis by the family doctor or as an inpatient in hospital. However, this approach entails some problems: On the one hand, the measurement with classic ECG measuring devices only lasts a few seconds and therefore only represents a snapshot. Moreover, the patients are in a state of rest during the measurement. Activity is not measured when they are moving.
"To make matters worse, the results are often printed out and not stored digitally. It is therefore difficult to analyse them again to monitor their progress," explains Dr Nicolai Spicher from the PLRI. In the long run, the devices with their sensors are uncomfortable to wear. ECG T-shirts, on the other hand, as already offered by commercial providers, are much more comfortable to wear and offer more extensive possibilities for analysing the measured data.
Continuous health monitoring, in the private environment as well
With the help of the ECG T-shirts, scientists at the PLRI are working on implementing health monitoring not only in a controlled medical environment, but also in a private environment – and doing it around the clock. As part of the 5G Living Lab in the mobility region of Braunschweig-Wolfsburg, funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV), they are investigating how this can be implemented with the help of the new mobile communications standard 5G, portable sensors – so-called "wearables" – and targeted algorithms.
"The Institute for Communications Technology (IfN) at TU Braunschweig is contributing its expertise in the field of modelling and simulation of mobile radio systems to the research project," says Spicher. "This will allow us to evaluate, first by simulation and then by experiment, the extent to which the new 5G standard offers added value compared to wired or previous mobile radio standards." For example, they have already been able to jointly evaluate the efficiency of the 5G network in transmitting medical image material. Future work will investigate how efficient it is for transmitting ECG data.
To ensure that the solutions developed can also find their way into practice in the sense of a living laboratory, scientists from the Institute of Automotive Management and Industrial Production are also involved in the research project. "The colleagues are investigating how different interest groups, such as medical experts or interested patients, can be involved and how a successful interaction between science and practice can be realised," explains Dr. Nicolai Spicher.
A large field test with fifty ECG T-shirts is to take place in Braunschweig in the summer. The first results will then be available.

Manipur joins the Nation in observing National Youth Day
Written By: Rinku Khumukcham / Wednesday, 12 January 2022 16:56
IT News + Agency
Imphal, Jan 12:
The National Youth Day is celebrated today across the country to commemorate the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda. The main aim behind this is to make sure that the students across the country can be encouraged to learn about the life, the ideas and philosophy of Swami Vivekananda and apply them in their lives.
Here in the state of Manipur the day is observed by the Manipur Commission for Protection of Child Rights ( MCPCR) at its Office with the Chairperson of the Commission Phurailatpam Manibabu Sharma on the chair. Members of the MCPCR L. Megharaj Sharma said that the day is observed to improve the condition of the youth of the state.
Today is the 159th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanand . The theme for National Youth Day 2022 is The Theme of 2022 is "It's all in the mind."
It may be mentioned that the decision to celebrate Vivekananda's birthday as National Youth Day was taken in 1984, and it was first marked on January 12, 1985. The government had then said that the philosophy of Swamiji and the ideals for which he lived and worked "could be a great source of inspiration" for the Indian youth.
Swami Vivekananda, born Narendranath Datta on January 12, 1863, was a disciple of Sri 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna Paramhansa. He went on to become a key figure in the introduction of the Indian darsanas (teachings, practices) of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world and was credited with raising interfaith awareness.
Vivekanand was highly regarded as a major force in the contemporary Hindu reform movements in India and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India.
Famous for his famous speech in Parliament of World's Religions in Chicago, 1893, he focused on channelling the energy of the youth.
As his teachings and practices had a huge influence on the youth, the Government of India in 1984 declared January 12 day as National Youth Day.
On the occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the Indian youth for their resilience and innovation especially during the hardships while inaugurating the 25th National Youth Festival today in Puducherry via video conferencing.
During his address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India considers its youth as a demographic dividend as well as a development driver.
"The world has admitted that India has two limitless power - demography & democracy. The youth of India carry democratic values along with demographic dividends. India considers its youths as development drivers," PM Modi said during the National Youth Day programme.
The Prime Minister highlighted how Indian youths have adopted technology and during the tough phase of lockdown due to covid-19 showed their prowess as more and more startups were introduced.

A key lesson for photographers attending the Missouri Photo Workshop, and for all documentary photographers, is that time matters. It's just not possible to drop into the lives of people and expect that your pictures will honestly reveal the character of your subjects. The pictures may show what people look like, but they won't necessarily show how people live and relate to each other in the absence of cameras.
But time can make a difference. A photographer can learn a lot just by spending time observing daily rituals, expressions and gestures, and the way people connect to their family, friends, and colleagues. But observing this kind of unguarded behavior—which can produce honest, un-posed pictures of real life unfolding—requires an investment of time and patience.
I'll often say to students that the best pictures come on day three of the workshop, but only because a photographer has been willing to invest day one and day two watching and waiting. Only after a subject has become familiar and comfortable in the presence of a photographer can real pictures begin to happen. This requires a photographer to just "be there," willing to watch, not necessarily talking, and often not taking any pictures at all.
This is a difficult lesson for photographers in a time when all digital cameras have virtually endless memory storage, and motor advances that make them more like machine guns than tools for quiet and sensitive documentation. This is why we also have a 400-image limit on photographers for the week. Limiting the number of pictures requires students to think through what each picture means and how each advances the visual story of their subject.
44 picture stories were completed during the course of the workshop, which came to a close last Saturday. Four photographers received awards: Carlos Gonzalez, Sam Wilson, Ryan Dorgan, and Brendon Stuart. You can view theirs, and all of the stories, here: mophotoworkshop.org.
National Geographic executive editor Dennis Dimick was first a faculty member for the Missouri Photo Workshop in 1995 when it was last held in Trenton, site of this year's workshop. Follow Dennis on Twitter, Instagram, and Flickr.
