Rosetta Stone Spanish Review
How Does Rosetta Stone Spanish Compare with Other Programs?
Fluenz Spanish is one of the best programs I have used for learning Spanish. I really admire their way of thinking about language learning and their methods of applying that to their courses. I also think that the multi-media aspect suits the popularity of computers. The programs also come with mp3 files you can listen to on a computer or with any mp3 player.
Here's a list of Fluenz Spanish programs currently at Amazon, though for some reason a few other things are on the list too. No matter, this will show you all the different levels and combinations of levels, along with their prices.
Fluenz Spanish is for both Windows and Mac. It guides you step-by-step through a relatively small vocabulary but one that you know well by the end and that you know how to combine.
Here are the product features of the package that includes the levels from 1 to 5:
150 sessions of up to two and one-half hours each — the most comprehensive software application covering the first five levels of Spanish anywhere. Fluenz Spanish 1+2+3+4+5 will guide you in English through the challenges of Spanish with a proven system.
Language tutor Sonia Gil guides you on video every step of the way, recreating a one-on-one tutoring experience, utilizing explanations in English, placing you in real-world contexts, and immersing you in the culture.
Fluenz blends beautiful full-motion video with a range of engaging, interactive workouts to improve your reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills including a recording engine to perfect your accent.
Fluenz's unique approach is currently being used by elite units of the US Navy, senior personnel at the UN and UNICEF, executives of Fortune 500 companies, and students at Harvard Business School and other leading universities.
Includes Fluenz Spanish 1, Fluenz Spanish 2, Fluenz Spanish 3, Fluenz Spanish 4, and Fluenz Spanish 5 DVD-ROMs, five audio CDs for additional learning, exclusive, downloadable podcasts for further practice, and the handy Fluenz Navigator for on-the-go referencing of important words and phrases.
Rocket Spanish is a "learn Spanish" audio course, well-known for giving you a good start in conversational Spanish. It comes with a variety of useful add-ons, but I'd say that the heart of the program is the 31 mp3 files which you can listen to, on your computer, on CDs, or on mp3 players.
I've taken the course and say more about my experiences further down this Rocket Spanish review page.
In short, it is a practical, easy-to-use method to learn Spanish fast — you can get a lot of the basics in just a few weeks. I like it.
I think it's especially good for you if:
You are planning a vacation in a Spanish-speaking country and want to be able to talk some with people there.
You are "on the go" or have more time to learn from mp3 files on an ipod (or other mp3 player) than by sitting in front of a computer.
You aren't a big fan of intricate computer software, or your computer is kind of an antique.
You want something you can start today.
You want something clear and straightforward, teaching you the words and phrases you are most likely to need in conversation.
So What Exactly IS Rocket Spanish?
Its core is the audio course of 31 Spanish lessons, each one about 20 minutes long. The discussions are between Mauricio Mauricio Evlampieff who is from Chile and Amy Waterman, whose first language is English but speaks a far better Spanish than I ever will!
At first I thought, "Gee, I'd rather hear two native speakers," but as I worked with the course more, I realized that Amy became a kind of role model for me. This was useful in motivation, and she has a great accent.
An accompanying e-book gives you the actual transcript of the dialog, along with further comments and vocabulary.
There are several more e-books as well. The beginning and advanced grammar books are actually fun to read, as they are attractively laid out. A lot of care obviously went into making the lessons enticing.
There are also some enjoyable ways to enhance your vocabulary, an online forum, email support, and a 60-day money back guarantee.
Consider These Points About Rocket Spanish
Rocket Spanish is very easy to use. Basically, just listen to the audio files, practice out loud, and do a bit of reading in the e-books.
Because it's easy to use, I would guess that people are more likely to do the Rocket Spanish lessons than they are to do some of the more complex computer-based programs out there. It's easy to fit into your life, with no computer hassles.
The add-on vocabulary building is very useful, as is the online forum where you can get your questions answered.
If you download Rocket Spanish, you can have the whole package just a few minutes from now… or from whenever you purchase.
My Experiences Testing Rocket Spanish
My husband and I were both pleasantly surprised by how nicely Rocket Spanish is put together. We listened to a number of the lessons on a long road trip from central Mexico to the US. We picked up quite a few phrases and grammatical points, rather to our surprise. (The Rocket Spanish team was kind enough to provide me with a review copy of the program. My Spanish would not be called anything like perfect, but I am at a pretty advanced level, and I wanted to do a Rocket Spanish review here on the site.)
rocketlanguages.com/spanish/
Pimsleur Spanish is a tried-and-true method for learning conversational Spanish. It's essentially an audio course of half-hour lessons, developed by Dr. Paul Pimsleur based on his research into how people learn languages. The Pimsleur Method is available for many languages, and millions of people have used it successfully.
You can learn Spanish — at least basic conversational Spanish and likely even more — with Pimsleur. Recently a friend came to visit us in Mexico. He had never before spoken Spanish, and I was amazed at how well he was doing immediately in conversation with Mexicans. His secret? Pimsleur Spanish, repeated many many times.
(He had taken high school Spanish several decades ago, and he thought that helped some too.)
I used Pimsleur myself to review my rusty Spanish before coming to Mexico over five years ago, and found it particularly good for pronunciation.
Some Pros:
It's audio, so you can take it with you on an ipod or whatever, and listen to it anywhere.
It repeats the same vocabulary a lot, so you really learn the words.
Some Cons:
The Spanish it uses is too formal in some cases. For example, "Encantado" instead of the more popular "Mucho gusto" for Good to meet you.
It's relatively expensive.
The vocabulary is not really large.
The Pimsleur Method is based on four ideas about learning language:
Anticipation — instead of just repeating what an instructor says, you have to think of what to say, just like in real conversations.
Graduated interval recall — Review the words you know at increasingly longer intervals.
Core vocabulary — learn the most commonly used words, and learn them well.
Organic learning — learn by listening.
These four concepts are worked into the programs.
Rosetta Stone Spanish has been around a long time and it's worth considering when you choose a program for learning to speak Spanish. It may well be the best-known Spanish language program.
Rosetta Stone is based on the idea that we adults can learn languages in the same way that we learned our first language as very young children. But current research shows that once past puberty, we don't learn in the same way.
What this means in practical terms is that their software uses NO English to help you learn Spanish. In fact, everyone in the world who is learning Spanish via Rosetta is using the same program, no matter what their native tongue. The program uses images and Spanish.
Rosetta Stone uses the word immersion about their method, but the word is more commonly used to mean living in a foreign country at a school where you only speak the language you are learning.
Some Rosetta Stone Pros:
Many people really like this program and learn well from it.
It is well known.
It is said to have good voice recognition software that can correct your pronunciation.
It has a Latin American version, all the way through its 3 levels.
Clearly a lot of work went into designing it.
Rosetta Stone Cons:
Many people find its method to be boring and frustrating.
It is expensive.
People say that it did not really prepare them for conversational Spanish, that the words and phrases they learned first were not that important.
No English exists to explain things.
It is mainly meant to be used sitting at your computer.
Users of the program at Amazon have posted reviews detailing problems they have had in dealing with the company.
I personally would choose Fluenz over Rosetta in the category of multi-media programs, but we are all different of course, and you have to go with your own sense of what will work best for you. I used to prefer Rosetta over Tell Me More, but I have been told by the Tell Me More people that the latest version is much improved.

How to Learn Spanish Fast? (6 Tips)


estate agent promises you an easy sale?
Spanish Property Insight › Forums › Spanish Property Forums › Real Estate Topics, News & Discussion › estate agent promises you an easy sale?
This topic contains 25 replies, has 14 voices, and was last updated by Anonymous 11 years, 8 months ago.
The usuall strategy of many an off-plan investor is to sell on the rights to a property before completion, taking lets say 20,000 Euros profit on a 20,000 Euro investment (100%) over 16 months and avoiding any tax on profits earned. A nice little earner.
Crucial to the success of this strategy is the ability to sell on before completion, which, if not done successfully, often lands investors in hot water.
So it should not come as a surprise to anyone that many estate agents, knowing as they do just how important the sell-on will be, exaggerate the ease with which investors will find ready buyers for their off-plan investments. These claims need to be treated with great scepticism. Though not always completely wild– it depends upon the quality of the property and the integrity of the estate agent – in many cases these claims are very wide of the mark.
Does anyone feel they have been made exaggerated promises on this point whilst looking for property in Spain? Details please?
I agree totally with Mark's comments having been 'bitten' so to speak by an agent – follow the link to the Sunday Times in the Forum Heading 'Investing off Plan'.
I have recently, Feb 2nd 2005, been updated by several investors who 'believed' an agent's false promises and as a result have been stuck with their properties or worse still lost their stage payments. Some agents are still exagerating their claims today. A little trick is to phone them on the pretence of buying investment property and listen to their sales spiel. They never change!
Often the sales person then moves to another agency and the original Company says they are not responsible for their former employee.
The UK market has slowed down and this will affect the Spanish market so be warned!
My experience of trying to sell prior to completion has been one of frustration. I have found one or two good estate agents but their efforts of trying to sell have been made almost impossible by the developer who will not allow anyone in to the property to view it.
I have not had one enquiry from the agent that sold me the property even thought they emphasised how easy it would be to sell it prior to completion.
I am now resigned to the fact that I will need to make the final payment. I'll then rent the property out. There is still a shortage of rental properties in Spain for the local population.
Renting will probably be the sensible thing to do anyway given the depressed property market in Spain. Nothing much is selling at the moment. I suspect this will improve if the UK interest rate drops a bit. So many people are looking for alternatives to pension plans and stocks and shares. Spain is also very accessible from most local airports and flights are cheap. This is the advantage it has over Eastern Europe destinations.
I have posted messages to this site last year telling of my attempts to sell my off-plan property. We are now 2 years down the line and still not able to sell. I have been registered with Investor Partners now for over a year and they have been unable to sell the property. Even if they do it will mean very little profit for us and a nice little buy for someone else. The property is due for completion in December so we are now coming to terms with the fact that we will have to complete on the apartment and then rent it out – if that is possible!! I had a look today on the web site of the estate agent who sold us the property and who promised that "it just doesn't happen" that off-plan properties don't sell, they are now advising all investors to buy now because there are cheap off-plan properties up for grabs!! Why is it never the estate agents who lose out!
I'm sorry to hear that you are still struggling to sell your off-plan property investment. Believe me when I say that you are not alone. I should warn you that renting the property out may also prove to be a Herculean task, though it depends upon the characteristics of the property, competition, and price you ask. I don't want to cast a pall over your plan B but it's important that you keep this in mind if you are going to be borrowing funds to finance the purchase under the assumption that rental income will cover some or all of the mortgage costs.
Non-professional investors should steer well clear of off-plan property on the Costa del Sol. In my opinion it is almost a guaranteed way to loose money in the present climate, not to mention guaranteed way to take on some most unwanted hassles. The problem, as you found out, stems from the hard sell and claims being made by some estate agents, and also, dare I say it, a certain degree of naïevety on the part of buyers. They way some estate agents in Spain are acting is certainly unethical and probably illegal. I am looking at ways to 1) Raise awareness of this issue to prevent others from falling into the same trap, 2) Put pressure on estate agents to clean up their acts and 3) Find solutions for people in your situation. Please keep checking the forum as if I need to start collecting evidence and testimonials from buyers who have been mislead by estate agents making unjustifiable claims (there are consumer protection laws covering this sort of thing) I will need to get in touch.
Mark, we have spoken before on this subject and I am particularly pleased with your approach to 'clean' up these dodgy practices.
Is there any way to pressurise the Spanish Government and the regulatory bodies there to force agents to be members of a bona fide register who would monitor and eject such agents from operating in Spain?
To often, agents hide behind a plethora of questionable awards for being the best agent in Spain such as Bentley International and Jaguar who are after all car manufacturers and nothing to do with property. I don't believe for one moment that these awards are worth a light yet these agents 'boast' of such awards in the National Press adverts.
The whole industry in Spain especially the Costas Del Sol, Blanca and now the so called 'new' costas for development, need cleaning up along with many of their law firms who are hand-in-glove with these agents.
An expose on UK television would also be welcome.
Why do the Spanish Government allow so much building work to continue when there is so much over-supply of properties?
Should they not call a halt on building work until the market settles down again?
The unfortunate comments and experiences being relayed by members on the forum here are sadly too typical. Clients turned in to speculator/investors by fancifull sales talk lacking any true substance.
A company has been mentioned in this thread as being a genuine answer to assisting clients looking for support in reselling pre completed investment units. My knowledge tells me that the reality is somewhat different. They do NOT purely concentrate on the marketing of such units, they charge a listing fee and attach ridiculous levels of commissions to any unit and thus making it less attractive to any potential buyers.
Perhaps taking a look at the following link might be of some use to contributors to this thread.
Hi – look I'm sorry but you are what is known as the 'patsies' in a vast pyramid scam – the rearguard; the ones left holding the can etc.
You SPECULATED (probably 'on margin' with borrowed money) and have simply lost your shirt (or are about to).
Read any children's book on the Wall Street Crash and discover that it has ALL HAPPENED BEFORE!
I know it's horrid but don't complain about it – it's what happens at the top of an ASSET BUBBLE.
A very active discussion has been taking place at Andalucia.com in connection with one specific developer as mentioned in todays Sunday Times article.
Prospective Irish buyers really should take more care, we are more than a bit naive!
You're right about pretty much everything except one thing. Many are speculating with their savings, not on margin.
I expect that professional investors who specialise in Spanish property, understand the market and know what they are doing can still make a living out of it, though nothing like what they made in the past. But amateur overseas speculators buying off-plan in Spain are just desirous of loosing money. Amateurs seem to specialise in buying the wrong kind of property in all the wrong places.
If you are considering speculating off-plan, and someone tells you that failure to sell on "just doesn't happen" then you know it's time to walk away. For a start you can be fairly confident that they won't be there to help you sell on. Sound familiar?
I see what you are saying Mark – I have justed checked my history book about the Wall Street Crash and yes – a lot of speculators investing on margin caused the crash at the end but the end result was that in the first 'mini bust' hundreds of thousands of individual ('poor') Americans' SAVINGS were wiped out. Caused untold misery not just in USA but worldwide – some say was the driving force behind WWII.
By the way, thanks for not accusing me of trolling – I just want the view that property speculation is leading to a 'YOUR Street Crash' to be understood before too many more suckers lose everything they own.
There is no such thing as an easy sale.
True, but with many off-plan investors entering into a crunch there are opportunities emerging to buy finished apartments below the developer's off-plan list price.
The off-plan investor craze and bust is going to cause some temporary distortions in the market.
There are many people who has been talked into buying off plan with promises of a resale before completion.The methods and promises used by some estate agents is more than unethical and have to be exposed for what they are. These people are well trained and oiled and driven by commission, they become your best friend and will always be there to help and of course they will sell your off plan before completion.When it comes to selling, they don´t want to know, they don´t even have the courtesy to return your call.
a bit off topic, but might be of interest to you Mark and whom ever has a property there.
Heard a rumour that all of Arenals assets have been repossed by the bank.
So I don't know how that will affect people who have bought a property that has not gone to completion or if they were trying to resale through the developer.
….So I don't know how that will affect people who have bought a property that has not gone to completion ….
No doubt this will mean them having to pay out even more thousands of Euros to take out an embargo 👿 if they are suing.
Re Aranal – my understanding is the bank took ove and are releasing properties for sale in small amount so as not to crash the market.
Re a TV programme- there was one – the Trevor MacDonald show, but it was quite amazing how many people argued the bias and how it showed the property market in a bad light!!!
Unfortunately many people have lost and are continuing to lose great amounts of money either by walking away from their deposits or by accepting a loss in order to move on.
And yes Mark – it would be great if there were some legislation and surely there must be, by where the agents who caused an awful lot of this mess can be bought to task.
I have'nt found it on this site, but maybe it would be worth mentioning certain developers or developments that regardless of what an agent says, the chance of selling before completion are next to none. Example: Aifos. We have a few resales in some of there develpoments, where after years and years of waiting and no completion in sight, they just want to be rid of them. But as soon as people hear the word aifos, especially the spaniards, they laugh and say "not a chance". The only potential buyers are the ones who can't afford anything else, and even then its a last resort.
It was reported at the first AGM for my development that the developer still accounts for some 60% of the properties.
Considering that he started selling off plan in 2002 and obtained First occupation licences for completed blocks in early 2006 he must be feeling the pain of the turndown in the market and early buyers attempting to re sell at well below his current prices.
If this scenario is repeated across the CDS I can see a number of developers going under.
having read the previous replies i now find myself to be experiancing the same problems ie.
Many UK buyers have paid cash but I would guess that for every one that has there will be two that have released equity from their UK property to fund the deposit. Many will be effectively 100% mortgaged. With prices now falling in Spain, the US and Ireland and with reports of similar in other fly to buy to specu/invest markets that we have rushed into, its going to be a disaster for many over the coming years (24,000 brits own in Florida with prices down up to 44% in 2 short years). For example in Bulgaria price never actually went up 'only the prices to new mugs off the plane'. I have no doubt you'll be able to buy '2 bed ski/beach apartments' sold in some Bulgarian resorts for discounts of up to 50% on the prices paid over the last few years.
You can hardly blame the commissioned sales people for telling buyers what they want to hear. The responsibility for instructing independent legal advisors who are competent and straight, and backing off the veracity of all vested interested parties claims, sits firmly with the buyer/investor.
Having seen hundreds of apparently switched on Brits 'leave their brains on the plane' in Florida loose tens and in many cases hundreds of thousands of pounds, I have great fears for many other markets including Dubai and North Africa.
The credit squeeze that is now just getting underway was well and truly telegraphed a few years ago. The correction in global property markets and especially those 'polluted' by 'rich' western buyers pushing prices to levels unsustainable by local (and now global fundamentals) will be massive.
Be in no doubt property in the UK will correct back towards the mean and prices that are sustainable by fundamentals. When that starts (as it is) the newbie BTL brigade will start to head for an ever smaller exit. In the last 4 years or so many people I know have canibalised equity out of their main (and in many cases BTL) properties, because they thought having to much equity and not enough gearing was dead money. That's fine in rising market but now many are going to learn some basic lessons in market economics.

Vacation Donation: Maryland Educator Receives Kidney Thanks to New Colleague's Generous Gift
"I felt like the clock was ticking against me."
Gary Simmons, of Glen Burnie, MD, was doing everything he could to maintain his healthy lifestyle while battling kidney failure caused by diabetes. He ate right, worked out three times a week, rode his bike over 30 miles every weekend, and just started a new job with the special education staff at Lindale Middle School in Linthicum, MD. Despite his best efforts, Simmons could tell that his condition was worsening late last year.
"It was an immediate fear of death that set in with me," he says. "Not knowing that I had options to sustain my life. I have two young kids, and while my quality of life was deteriorating, their quality of life was deteriorating. I wasn't able to do a lot of things that I needed to."
Simmons sought help from transplant specialists at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, who immediately ordered dialysis treatment and listed him for a kidney transplant.
A Desperate Plea Answered
Danelle Chapman and Gary Simmons
Simmons' physicians explained that the only way to cut down his time on the waiting list was to find someone willing to give him one of his or her kidneys; a living donor.
"They talked about self-advocacy," Simmons says. "I sent my story out to just about everyone that was in my e-mail contacts."
That list included friends, family, and many of the people he had only recently contacted initially about his current position at Lindale Middle School. Simmons received a reply from his boss, Danelle Chapman, who hired him only a few months prior.
"She responded the next day saying, 'Hey, I'm going to look into this to see if I can donate to you.'"
Simmons was shocked.
"I didn't think it made any sense. She just gave me a job," he says. "She really didn't know me besides from school. I said, 'Nobody's really that kind.' But it turns out she is."
Choosing the Gift of Life
Chapman chairs the school's special education department and, until Simmons' e-mail, did not know the severity of her colleague's illness. She says the decision to become his living donor was not a difficult one.
"First, I realized he was in his forties and raising two kids. I already knew about his work ethic and his community service. He's just an all-around great guy," Chapman says. "I felt like he had a lot to give, and it was important to extend the quality of his life so that he could be there for his kids and provide for them."
She kept her word, undergoing tests and examinations at the MedStar Georgetown Transplant Institute (MGTI) to determine if she could donate to Gary.
"It's a phenomenal program," Chapman says. "Everyone was very kind throughout in explaining the procedure. They were extremely supportive."
Plotting a New Course
Unfortunately, the results of the tests showed that Chapman and Simmons were not a blood match, meaning that her kidney could not be donated directly. Fortunately, there are other options."Paired kidney exchange (PKE) is just one of the tools we use to complete living donor transplants even if the donor and recipient are not biologically compatible," says Jennifer Verbesey, MD, director of the Living Donor Transplant Program at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. "Through the exchange, we can connect our pairs with others in the same position across the country and ultimately find matches. The goal is to build donation chains so that two, three, four or more people can end up getting a new kidney instead of just one person."
After agreeing to take part in the paired kidney exchange, Chapman could finally deliver the big news.
"I think the look on his face was very surprised," Chapman recalls through laughter.
"I didn't know whether to scream, to cry, or to shout. I'll be honest, I was in such shock that I was motionless," says Simmons. "It was amazing. God gave me a job and put me in a place where people were really looking after me."
One Kidney Saving Two Lives
Simmons after his successful surgery
Coordinators at MGTI were able to fit both patients into the paired kidney exchange network. A blood match recipient was found for Chapman's kidney and, in return, Simmons would receive a compatible kidney back from another donor in the exchange.
"It's pretty amazing when I think about the impact because it definitely effects so many more people than just Gary," Chapman says.
"She started off with the intention of helping me but, at the end of the day, she ended up saving two lives," said Simmons.
Both successful surgeries took place during the same week in late July. Gary had his new kidney transplanted by Dr. Verbesey just two days before his birthday on July 25th. It's a gift he will never forget.
"Danelle gave me a job, she gave me a birthday gift, and she gave me a kidney!" he says.
Overwhelming Support
In an additional show of support and kindness, another teacher from Lindale Middle School, Terra Greene, is serving as Simmons' caretaker throughout his recovery from transplant surgery. Gary plans on returning to work in October or November. Chapman says she'll be ready for the start of the new school year in late-August, and she is excited to eventually tell students all about her summer vacation.
MedStar Georgetown Transplant Institute performs more living donor kidney transplants than any other healthcare institution in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. It is also recognized as a national leader in kidney exchange and the management of recipients and donors who are incompatible. Only a handful of transplant centers in the United States offer this option to their patients. For more information, visit: MedStarGeorgetown.org/LivingDonor

The Lab is now located in the Laboratory Medicine hallway, adjacent to the orange elevators. Patient must register in the registration area by the Chapel on 1 Main, close to the entrance of the Main building.
Think a hysterectomy is the only solution for fibroids? Think again. Treatment can involve a simple prick to the wrist
WASHINGTON D.C. – When Nicole Austin-Hillery looks at her wrist, she sees a small, pinhole-sized scar. It's the only visible sign of her recent treatment for uterine fibroids.
Nicole Austin-Hillery
"It is hardly noticeable at all," she says. "It looks like I have a little tiny mole there. There's absolutely nothing. I don't even think about that."
July is recognized as Fibroid Awareness Month. Nationwide, one in three women suffer from fibroids, including 80% of African American women and 70% of Caucasian women by the time they reach the age of 50. Oftentimes, the tumors can cause very heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, increased abdominal girth and urinary symptoms.
Earlier this year, Austin-Hillery, a D.C.-based civil and human rights attorney underwent uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. UFE is an established, minimally invasive procedure that treats fibroids without the need for major surgery. Several years ago, Austin-Hillery did have surgery to remove her fibroids, but the benign pelvic tumors came back.
"They eventually grew to even bigger sizes and in multiplicity beyond what they had been originally," she says. "I could really feel the impact of those fibroids and how they were interfering with my daily activities, particularly when it came to exercise."
She was looking for way to address her discomfort without undergoing another operation like a myectomy or hysterectomy. After researching UFE on her own, Austin-Hillery was referred to Interventional Radiologist Theresa Caridi, MD, who specializes in the procedure.
Dr. Theresa Caridi
"One in five women are under the impression that a hysterectomy, or surgical removal of the uterus, is the only way to treat uterine fibroids. It's not true," said Dr. Caridi. "Treatments like uterine fibroid embolization can be just as effective and carry fewer risks of major complications than surgery."
During UFE, the fibroid is starved of blood supply as portions of connecting uterine arteries are blocked by a microscopic substance known as embolic or bead.
"We deliver the substance through a small catheter that's inserted into either the patient's wrist or upper leg. It only takes one to two hours," Caridi says. "The fibroids aren't removed but, following the procedure, they shrink into scars over several months."
Austin-Hillery went forward with UFE and had the procedure in February 2019. The procedure only required a local anesthetic, she remembers being somewhat aware throughout. Afterwards, she did feel some side effects like nausea and abdominal discomfort, especially during the first day or so following the procedure, but they improved relatively quickly. A far cry from the recovery following a myectomy or hysterectomy.
"MedStar Georgetown was great. They checked on me. I called them when I had questions. Around day three, I started to feel better," Austin-Hillery says.
Best of all, she feels like uterine fibroid embolization worked. According to Dr. Caridi, the fibroids will continue shrinking for up to a year after the procedure, but Austin-Hillery says the difference is already noticeable.
"I'm continuing to see changes in my abdominal area. My menstrual cycles are much better," she says. "My comfort level when I exercise is just off the charts. Overall it was a win-win for me."

Indoor Tanning May Be an Addiction Abetted by Both Genetic and Psychiatric Factors
WASHINGTON — A combination of elevated symptoms of depression along with modifications in a gene responsible for dopamine activity, important to the brain's pleasure and reward system, appear to influence an addiction to indoor tanning in young, white non-Hispanic women.
That finding comes from a new study, reported by researchers at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center and published online June 11 in Annals of Behavioral Medicine.
Excess exposure to ultraviolet radiation can lead to melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. Most UV exposure is from the sun, but exposure from indoor tanning is common in certain people and accounts for 10 percent of skin cancer cases in the U.S. There will be an estimated 96,480 new cases of melanoma in the United States and 7,230 deaths from the disease in 2019.
This study compiled survey responses from 292 non-Hispanic white women in the Washington, D.C. area, 18 to 30 years of age, who used indoor tanning beds, sunlamps, or sun booths. The survey asked questions about values and behaviors that might predispose a person to a tanning addiction, as well as a series of questions to determine if they had symptoms of depression.
The researchers also collected saliva samples to obtain DNA to look for 34 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in five different genes. SNPs are changes in one of the base molecules on a strand of DNA. The specific SNPs that researchers looked at were in genes known to be related to pathways that reward addictive behavior.
"By demonstrating that genes in behavioral reward pathways are associated with tanning addiction, we are providing stronger evidence that tanning addiction is a cancer risk behavior in need of intervention," says lead author Darren Mays, PhD, MPH, an associate professor of oncology and member of the Cancer Prevention and Control Program at Georgetown Lombardi. "This finding adds to a growing body of evidence from animal studies and neuroimaging studies that have been done in humans."
The researchers adjusted their analyses based on indoor tanning frequency, value of appearance, and depressive symptoms. They found a more than two-fold increased odds of indoor tanning addiction in modifications to the rs4436578 SNP and a slightly less than two-fold increased odds of addiction in modifications to the rs4648318 SNP. When looking at whether the SNPs interacted with depressive symptoms to increase the risk of indoor tanning-addiction, they found a more than 10-fold increase if there were modifications to the rs4436578 SNP and a more than 13-fold increase in the rs4648318 SNP. This knowledge should be helpful if screening for risk of addiction is shown to be beneficial in reducing the chance that people will engage in a cancer-causing activity.
Mays work in tanning addiction continues with a study, just getting underway, that will explore the effectiveness of text messaging as an intervention to help young women quit if they are addicted to indoor tanning. The research is funded by the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
"This grant will enable us to test behavioral interventions in young women who are addicted to indoor tanning," Mays says. "We have used text messaging to intervene in other behaviors and have found that the personalized conversation we can deliver through this medium can help people take steps to quit."
In addition to Mays, authors include Jaeil Ahn, PhD, and Bingsong Zhang, MS, from the Department of Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, and Biomathematics, Georgetown University Medical Center and Michael B. Atkins, MD, David Goerlitz, MS, and Kenneth P. Tercyak, PhD, from Georgetown Lombardi.

Philanthropic Leaders Advance the New Medical/Surgical Pavilion with Commitment to Neurosciences
Washington, D.C.– Thanks to an inspiring multimillion-dollar philanthropic investment from the Bernstein Family, which includes Wilma and Stuart Bernstein, Richard Bernstein, Tracy and Adam Bernstein, and Lisa and Josh Bernstein and the Diane and Norman Bernstein Foundation, as well as Nancy and Marc Duber, who is executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Bernstein Companies real estate firm, the Medical/Surgical Pavilion at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital will be home to the Bernstein Family Patient Care Floor for Neuroscience Excellence.
Currently under construction, the facility's design puts patient care and comfort at the forefront while promoting the very latest best practices in neurological care. Incorporating the most advanced medical technologies, the floor will be home to 52 patient beds in tranquil patient rooms, and both intensive care and intermediate care units.
"We are so very grateful to the Bernstein family for their generous gift, which will make a real and lasting impact for our patients and caregivers helping us to bring the world class care we deliver to a new world class, state-of-the-art facility," says Michael C. Sachtleben, president of MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and a senior vice president for MedStar Health.
For former U.S. Ambassador Stuart Bernstein and Mrs. Bernstein, this partnership was motivated by gratitude for their personal experiences with two leading clinicians at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. "At the Department of Neurology, my family experienced true excellence in care," says Ambassador Bernstein. "Our philanthropic investment is intended to promote the life-changing work that MedStar Georgetown clinicians perform each day—and in doing so, to support the health and well-being of our community."
As business and property owners in Georgetown, the Bernstein Family is especially excited to have the Hospital's new Medical/Surgical Pavilion in their neighborhood. It will represent a new standard in how patients receive their care by offering private patient rooms, state-of-the-art operating rooms, a beautiful new green space to enhance the patient experience and compliment the healing environment, and a brand-new Emergency Department which will double in size and provide a more accessible, efficient and welcoming community resource for Georgetown residents and businesses.
One of the visionary partners, Mr. Duber, member of the board of directors and chair of the Philanthropy Committee at MedStar Health, along with his wife Nancy Duber, hope that this philanthropic investment will inspire others to partner with MedStar Georgetown. "The Medical/ Surgical Pavilion is an opportunity to support MedStar Georgetown at a pivotal moment in its long history," says Marc Duber. "From growing our local health resources to facilitating broad-reaching research breakthroughs, this expansion is a cause worth cheering."

Continence Confidence: Prostatectomy Patients Reporting 'Startling' Success After Robotic Retzius-Sparing Surgery
For healthcare industry executive Sean Hawkins, prostate cancer runs in the family. After his own diagnosis last year, the then 49-year-old already knew the potential challenges of treatment -- including losing control of his bladder. However, a breakthrough method of prostate surgery known as Retzius-sparing is now eliminating continence issues for many men treated at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
"You go through all sorts of mental gymnastics when you're confronted with cancer," he says. "My main concern was the ability to get back to normal."
After consulting with MedStar Georgetown urological surgeon Keith Kowalczyk, MD, Hawkins learned that he was a candidate for radical prostatectomy – or removal of his entire prostate. Despite the possibility of temporary (and sometimes permanent) continence issues, Hawkins was willing to make difficult sacrifices for another chance at a cancer-free life.
"The first thing people do is go to the store and buy the 300-count diapers," he says. "I had diapers under my desk and meetings were spaced out to allow for bathroom breaks. I built in contingencies to anticipate a lot more frequency. I was also sort of budgeting coffee and fluid intake."
After a successful surgery, Hawkins returned to work only 2 weeks later. He sat through his first round of meetings without a continence problem.
"I didn't really have any major issues. I kept waiting and wearing the diapers and pads as a precaution. I worried about getting up or sneezing," he says. "I was tempted to text Dr. Kowalczyk and ask if there was something going on, because I wasn't having the control problems I anticipated. It was startling for sure."
During his prostatectomy, Hawkins was one of the first patients to undergo the new Retzius-sparing approach; a more technically advanced, robotically-assisted technique. Kowalczyk, who specializes in robotic surgery, learned the approach from urological surgeons in Italy. He says Retizus-sparing removes the prostate by way of an alternate route, preserving attachments to the bladder and urethra that may play a key role in continence preservation. He is part of a small group of urological surgeons in the United States now performing the procedure on a regular basis.
"The big advantage is that these patients become continent much earlier, sometimes immediately" says Dr. Kowalczyk. "Patients getting the standard approach do well -- but it tends to be a much slower process, sometimes up to a year, in regaining their continence. This is likely due to the need to cut through crucial suspension ligaments that seem to be important in maintaining continence."
Kowalczyk says traditionally, prostatectomy patients can wait from 6 months up to a year to regain continence, if it comes back at all. In patients who have undergone the Retzius-sparing surgery at MedStar Georgetown, 96% of patients regained adequate urinary continence after only 6 weeks, with only 23% wearing one "safety" pad just for reassurance even if not needed.
"I can really confidently tell my patients now that this should not be a problem," Kowalczyk says. "They've just been doing astonishingly well."
For some patients, like Hawkins, incontinence is never a problem at all. Aside from a healing incision scar, he reports no other side effects or complaints from the surgery. Considering all possible outcomes, Hawkins says his journey from the prostate cancer diagnosis to recovery has been a smooth one.
"I'm very fortunate and thankful. From the minute I walked into the hospital to the minute I was wheeled out, I couldn't have asked for faster, better treatment. To be able to say that out loud in an affirmative manner is very important to me."

Personalized Medicine Clinical Trial Underway for Type of Incontinence Common in Women
WASHINGTON D.C. – A novel clinical trial aims to study a treatment for a common problem among older women––accidental urine leakage––by using a patient's own muscle cells. The study, now underway in the Washington area, is for women with stress urinary incontinence that has not been addressed by conservative treatment such as behavior modifications and pelvic-floor muscle exercises.
Stress urinary incontinence, or SUI, often occurs when the tissues that support the bladder and/or the muscles that regulate the release of urine weaken, and can have a negative impact on a woman's quality of life. The condition is especially common after childbirth. For patients with SUI, leakage can be triggered by physical activity or stressors such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or heavy lifting.
In the new study, conducted by Georgetown University at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, researchers will examine the safety and effectiveness of an investigational product (autologous muscle derived cells for urinary sphincter repair or AMDC-USR) derived from a woman's own muscle cells that are collected, processed, and then injected into the tissues of the urinary passage.
"Being able to use a woman's own cells as a treatment for stress urinary incontinence holds promise, and we'll know more about whether this treatment is safe and effective for these women after this clinical trial is completed," says the study's principal investigator, Elizabeth Timbrook Brown, MD, MPH, assistant professor of urology at Georgetown University School of Medicine and a specialist in the medical and surgical management of urinary incontinence at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
The clinical study lasts two and a half years and participation includes approximately 8 to 11 office visits and 3 to 5 scheduled phone calls. The study will consist of a screening period, which may last up to 8 weeks to determine eligibility.
If eligible, Brown will perform a biopsy to collect muscle tissue from the thigh. Local anesthesia will be used for the office procedure.
"The muscle tissue is then grown in a laboratory until there are enough cells to be injected into the urinary passage as a second office procedure," Brown explains. "It is believed the cells will become part of the tissue where they have been injected. In theory, we think this may help women have more control over urine storage and urination and may decrease urinary leakage." Current conservative treatment options are available for women with SUI and include external collection devices (diapers and pads) and pelvic floor exercises. Some examples of surgical treatments include injection of bulking agents into or around the urethra, a synthetic mesh midurethral sling, or creation of a sling using a woman's own tissues, as well as other surgical procedures.
Women ages 50 to 75 with SUI are invited to volunteer in this phase 3, randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled study. Participants will be "randomized" into one of two study groups––half will receive AMDC-USR (injections with cells) and the other half will receive a placebo (injections that look and feel exactly the same but will have no cells). Randomization, is done by computer. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers will know what group you are in (double blinded). If the participant receives the placebo injection, the participant will still have the option of receiving a second injection with their own cells (the AMDC-USR product) after 12 months.
Based on information from similar clinical studies using AMDC therapy, urinary tract infections are very common. Other less common risks will be explained to each participant. Up to 320 subjects at 25 study centers across three countries will take part in this study; approximately 15 subjects per year will participate at Georgetown. There are no study-related charges for the participants.
Cook MyoSite, Incorporated is the sponsor of this study. MedStar Georgetown University Hospital is being paid by Cook MyoSite, Incorporated, to conduct this study. Brown reports having no personal financial interests related to the study.

Georgetown-Led Study Leads to First FDA-Approved Drug in Decades to Improve Survival in Small Cell Lung Cancer
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's approval today of atezolizumab (Tecentriq®, Genentech) in combination with chemotherapy for the initial treatment of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) marks the end of numerous failed attempts to improve survival for people with the deadly disease.
"This is monumental for lung cancer patients," says Stephen Liu, MD, an oncologist at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital who specializes in treating lung cancer and co-led the clinical trial leading to today's approval through the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. "Atezolizumab allowed us to achieve what for we thought for decades was beyond reach: an improvement in survival for these patients."
Small cell lung cancer makes up about 10 to 15 percent of all lung cancers in the United States. Almost all people who develop small cell lung cancer have a history of smoking, and, according to the American Cancer Society only about six percent of people with the disease survive five years or more.
"Since the 1980s, our standard treatment for small cell lung cancer has been platinum-based chemotherapy. This regimen reliably provides an initial response that is often dramatic, but almost always short-lived," says Liu.
The regimen of carboplatin, etoposide and atezolizumab was first explored in an investigator-initiated trial at Georgetown Lombardi in 2016. It soon gave way to the global phase III IMpower 133 trial. Liu and Leora Horn, MD, of Vanderbilt University Medical Center, served as co-principal investigators of the study.
Results were first presented by Liu at the World Conference on Lung Cancer in September 2018 and simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
The international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, compared standard chemotherapy alone or given concurrently with atezolizumab, an anti-PD-L1 antibody. The addition of atezolizumab extended overall survival for a median of 10.3 months to 12.3 months without notably increasing side effects. As of now, there has only been about one year of follow-up so the full potential of atezolizumab is not yet known, Liu says.
"In the context of over 40 failed phase III clinical trials, the improvement in survival seen with atezolizumab represents an important achievement," Liu says.
"As SCLC is an unforgiving disease," says Liu, "our first attempt at treatment is often our only chance to impact the natural history of this highly lethal cancer."
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) has added atezolizumab to its treatment guidelines as the preferred treatment for extensive stage SCLC.
"With the addition of atezolizumab to chemotherapy, we have finally moved the needle in SCLC," says Liu. "It is now our charge to build upon these results and ensure that the next major advance is not another 20 years away."
Disclosure: Liu reports having received advisory board/consulting fees Apollomics, AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Celgene, Genentech, Lilly, Merck, Pfizer, Regeneron, Taiho, Takeda.

Australia beach horror as hot air balloon crash lands on Melbourne'…
Australian beachgoers were left stunned and horrified as a hit air balloon made an emergency landing on a Melbourne beach on Wednesday morning. Early morning walkers looked on in horror as the balloon sailed past buildings, across a main road before slamming into a road sign.
A video then showed the balloon making a smooth landing on St Kilda beach.
The balloon had drifted off its original course which meant it missed its landing.
According to Sky News Australia, no one was injured in the incident.
One onlooker shared the video on Instagram, describing the incident as a "close call in St Kilda" while others praised the pilot's "great effort" in managing to land the balloon.
It follows another hot air balloon being forced to make an emergency landing in Melbourne's Ascot Vale park last Friday.
In April, there was an even more serious crash involving a hot air balloon in a Melbourne street.
Emergency services were called to the Ellwood area of the city to find a balloon covering two rooftops.
The basket of the balloon was in the garden and car park of one of the properties.

He admitted that the incident was "a bit embarrassing" but there had been a malfunction that he could not explain.
He said: "The valve that releases hot air from the top, which we use to maneuver the balloon, didn't seal properly.
"So I was losing a lot of heat and it was difficult to keep the balloon up in the air so that's why I was flying low and I was aiming for the beach but we didn't make it for about 200 meters."

My own vision of this broker, donot impose to anyone my opinion. \r\nMost companies in this market are scam and fraud. So if you like the company, you have first to check out it with small deposits. During these months, nothing terrible happened, gives earn and withdraw. I decided to expand the portfolio, began to trade larger ones deals. So far there are no problems: once a month, within a few days, I withdraw part of my profit. I do not recommend to trade turbo options, I prefer "classic."
Dishonest company. they will not let you to withdraw your money.

Review & Betting Guide for the Northern Trust Open
The iconic clubhouse looking down on the 18th green at the Riviera Country Club © YS
Dustin Johnson 14/1 © Keith Allison
The Riviera Country Club was established in 1926 and has been open for play since 1927. Noted for its spectacular beauty and uniquely challenging design, the George C. Thomas masterpiece is perennially rated among the very finest in the world.
During the courses construction the renowned golf architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie paid a visit to inspect Thomas's work. Following his tour of the property, Dr. MacKenzie remarked that the site "Was as fine as any I have seen" and that the George C Thomas' design is "As nearly perfect as man could make it."
Sometimes known as "Hogan's Alley" because of Ben Hogan's success here, it is also renowned for its par-3 sixth hole with a bunker in the middle of the green.
The 18th is probably one of golf's most unique and most recognised finishing holes. The green rests below the clubhouse in a natural amphitheater and a blind tee shot from below the level of the fairway must carry the crest of the hill to give you a decent look at the green.
My tips to win:
I did tip Dustin Johnson 14/1 last week and despite being nine shots behind third round leader Jimmy Walker at the AT&T ProAm, Dustin managed to get back to within one shot, firing a final round 66 to just miss out on taking the tournament into a play-off . I am sure that adrenalin rush coming down the stretch will give Dustin a massive boost on a course where he has had five straight Top 12 finishes, two of which were Top 5 placings.
Webb Simpson 16/1 © Secret in the Dirt
We have done quite well on Webb Simpson 16/1 this year who has started the year with six Top 10 finishes from seven starts and Webb has only been outside the Top 25 once since the Bridgestone Invitational at the beginning of August last year, including three top 5s and a win. That is a phenomenal record and shows great consistency and no doubt Simpson will want to keep that record going this week.
Normally I don't really tip players who have won the week before unless they are turning up at a course they love to play, and that is the case this week with Jimmy Walker 20/1 at the Riviera Country Club. Jimmy has had two Top 5s and a Top 20 in the last three years and is not only leading the FedEx Cup table, but made history last week becoming the quickest player to win three tournaments in a season.
My each-way tips:
Ryan Moore 33/1 is another player we have tipped this season who also has a great record of one win and three other top 10 finishes from six starts so far this season. In fact the lad from Tacoma, Washington has only been outside the Top 25 once this season at the WGC HSBC Champions tournament in China at the back end of last year after his win at the CIMB Classic.
Louis Oosthuizen 50/1 © isogood
Louis Oosthuizen 50/1 has a relaxed playing schedule, the South African has only played twice so far this season winning the Volvo Golf Championship and finishing in fourteenth at the Nedbank Golf Challenge which was a limited field. But this is the start of Louis's build up to the Masters Championship and he will want to get those preparations off to a good start here this week.
My outside tip:
I must admit I was surprised to see Francesco Molinari 100/1 this far down the betting odds, even though he has not won on the PGA Tour and his best finish being a third place at the WGC-Cadillac Championship. I do feel Francesco has the game to do well in America and he has started the season in solid, if unspectacular form on the European Tour this season, with two Top 15 finishes from his two starts so far. If Francesco gets his putting right the Italian has the game to win on any course.

then, every little delicatessan owner used to keep a few cans of anchovies and caviar in stock. Just a few cans at a time. Well, I figure it out that when things really get going nobody would be able to import the stuff. So what do you think I did? I went around to each little shtoonky place buying up a few cans at a time, and when things got hot and you couldn't get some good anchovies or caviar for love or money, who do you think you had to come to? Yes boys, you see! Well, I'll tell you about how I got the sandwich idea. I owned a delicatessan on Broadway and one day a dame walks in, one of the theatrical dames, and she's down and out I suppose, and she asks me for something to eat. Her name was Anna Selos. Well, I'm feeling sort of good, so I figure I'll clown around for the dame. That's how it all came about. I'm clowning for the dame. Well, what do I do? I take a holy bread that I used to keep and grab up the knife and, you know, clowning like, I cut it right through on the bias. Then I take some roast beef, I don't remember exactly what. But, anyway, I figure I'll put anything on. So I take some meat and cheese and I slap it on, and I put on some spice and stuff and I make her up a sandwich; it was a foot high. Well the dame just eats it, that's all. She must have been plenty hungry. And when she gets through she says, "Mr. Reuben, that's the best sandwich I ever tasted in my life." Well, the idea comes to me in a flash. I'll call it the Anna Selos sandwich, after the dame. Then, one night, she brings some friends up, you know, stage people and a newspaper man, and this guy he goes right behind the counter and makes himself up a sandwich, and then he tells me why I don't call the sandwich after celebrities? Like what happened with Anna Selos. Why don't I call it the Anna Selos sandwich? Well, boys, in a flash, I get the idea. Anna Selos! I'll call it a Reuben Special. And that's how it started. Then one day Marjorie Rambeau came in to the store and I made her a sandwich and I called it the Marjorie Rambeau sandwich. How did I do it? Well, I just slap it together. Whatever came into my mind. But I used good stuff. Once Nikita Baileff, you know, of the Chauve Souria, came into the place downstairs and he knew that I made sandwiches for famous people and named it for them. So he says to me, "Mr. Reuben,

Privacy and Publication
Issues pertaining to privacy and publicity may arise when a researcher contemplates the use of letters, diary entries, or reportage found in library collections. Because two or more people are often involved (e.g., photographer and subject) and because of the ease with which they can be reused, photographs and motion pictures represent the types of documents in which issues of privacy and publicity emerge with some frequency.
Privacy and publicity rights are, of course, distinct from copyright. For example, an advertiser may have the photographer's permission (as copyright owner) to use a portrait. But in order to avoid invading privacy, the advertiser may also need the sitter's permission to use the photograph. In fact, publishers sometimes ask photographers to submit a copy of a "release form" in order to establish that the subject of a photograph gave his or her consent.
Although the risks for use in a periodical's "editorial" pages may be less than for use in advertising or for other commercial purposes, they can still be high if the person depicted is held up to ridicule or presented in a libelous manner.
While it is true that famous or public figures who seek recognition have thereby surrendered some privacy, they may have the right to control the commercial use of their image (likeness, voice, signature, etc.). This principle recognizes that a celebrity's image can be an asset in trade.

First of Royal Navy carrier strike group arrives home signalling imminent arrival of HMS Queen Elizabeth to Portsmouth
THE first of the Royal Navy's carrier strike group deployed to the Far East has returned to the UK – signalling the imminent arrival of HMS Queen Elizabeth to Portsmouth.
By Tom Cotterill
RFA Tidespring sailed back into her home in Portland having spent months providing the Portsmouth-based carrier and her escort warships fuelled.
The ship is the first of the UK carrier strike group – touted by the navy as the most powerful naval force in Europe – to arrive home following seven months at sea.
Hopes are now high that the navy's £3.2bn flagship, Queen Elizabeth, will make her triumphant return to Portsmouth before Christmas.
RFA Tidespring returns from the carrier strike group deployment. Here she is pictured with HMS Queen Elizabeth, which is now on her way home to Portsmouth,
The Royal Navy has not yet confirmed when the mighty carrier will arrive in Portsmouth. However, the milestone event is expected to take place in a matter of weeks.
Tanker Tidespring, along with her Royal Fleet Auxiliary sister RFA Fort Victoria, kept the task group – nine ships, one submarine, 32 aircraft and more than 3700 personnel – supplied with everything from fuel to ammunition and food during their 49,000 nautical-mile mission.

Tidespring carried out an impressive 111 replenishment at sea tasks – one every two days while away – supplying fuel and stores to ships from Canada, Denmark, France, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Korea and the United States in addition to the UK.

Captain Karl Woodfield said: 'As Tidespring sights UK landfall for the first time in eight months the ship's company are hugely proud of what they have achieved in supporting the first global deployment of the carrier strike group.
'Tidespring has provided fuel and stores support from the Northwest of Scotland to the Pacific Ocean during the deployment completing 111 replenishments of fuel and stores at sea.
'This has enabled the UK carrier strike group to operate at a range and scale from the UK not seen in a generation.
'I am particularly proud of my ships company which includes RFA, Royal Marines and Royal Navy personnel who have worked tirelessly during a global pandemic to deliver operational success.
'We have been in the vanguard of ships which has made the inaugural carrier strike group global deployment a success. A brilliant sustained effort by my ship's company.'
Tidespring steamed 43,136 nautical miles during her mission, having departed from the UK in May.
She spent 176 days attached to the carrier strike group, spending 136 days at sea. She filled up ships with the equivalent of 23 Olympic-sized swimming pools of fuel and fed more than 14 million litres of aviation fuel to keep the task group ticking.

Have Manchester United Learned From Last Season?
With Bobby Charlton having admitted that Manchester United made mistakes last season, the question on all football fans lips is- can United learn from the mistakes made under David Moyes and return to the summit of the Premier League?
United fans cringed last season watching United play dull, boring and ineffective football that left them in 7th and without any European football for the first time since the 90's. David Moyes was an abysmal and embarrassing failure, one United are keen not to replicate. His lack of confidence against the big teams shone through, and his negative tactics and poor substitution decisions left many wondering what Sir Alex Ferguson and the United board ever saw in the former Everton manager. The summer transfer window was truly embarrassing with only Maroaune Fellaini bought in as a deadline day panic signing that saw the club pay far more than he was worth. Fellaini has failed at United, and his attitude of having nothing to prove seems to surmise him as a footballer. It has been rumoured that the transfer failings were down to Ed Woodward's inexperience and Moyes dithering and panicking over large fees. He still managed to spend over £60m with Fellaini and Juan Mata brought in to revamp the sub-par United midfield. The importance Moyes placed on Wayne Rooney was a further humiliation, as Moyes proved he felt the potential captain was more important than the club as a whole, rumour of Rooney being consulted on all transfer dealings was met with amazement by fans. David Moyes was a mistake that left the great club in tatters and as a result the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra and Nemanja Vidic have all departed. United now have few players with real experience and as such it is time for the new to emerge. Continue reading →

The Theatre Of Dreams Wasn't Built In A Day
At what point does the blame go on the players at a football club rather than the man picking the starting XI? Is the media purely trying to change public perception of David Moyes? Is Moyes the easiest and most obvious target for United's gloomy season?
Granted, this article may sound like a rant at the players at Manchester United but it's not. I'm not a United fan, either.
The current situation at Manchester United is their manager, David Moyes, is being roasted alive for problems out of his current control. Is it his fault players aren't up to the standard? Sir Alex Ferguson had a type of 'fear factor' above each and every player that walked through the doors at Old Trafford. David Moyes doesn't.
He was never going to have this factor over the players in his first season, and being honest, some players are just there for the handy pay cheque at the end of the week. Players that wouldn't get into other big sides throughout the world of football such as Barcelona, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid. Continue reading →
