Flight Report: United "Atrocious" 737-800 from Newark to Salt Lake City
Hello from Salt Lake City! I had just arrived on a long flight from Newark (EWR) and I am currently resting at a hotel in preparation of tomorrow's powder day at Alta. I know that traveling during the busy holiday season isn't the best thing in the world, and certainly, there were many experiences today that severely compromised the experience with United. However, not all of these shortcomings are United's fault, but there's certainly a lot of room for improvement as well.
So, let's begin. As you might already know, United only operates one daily flight from Newark to Salt Lake City, as SLC is mainly a Delta hub, meaning United has a fairly small presence there. Thus, because of a crazy low fare that my parents discovered last spring, we booked tickets with United instead of the logical go-to choice for flights to Salt Lake City, Delta. Round trip tickets for this flight were just under $300, despite the busy holiday travel season. Our tickets booked into the "K" and "T" fare classes, which are some of the lowest in United's system.
Fast forward to the day of the trip. We all woke up at 4:30 AM and drove 1 hour to EWR airport to catch the early 8:20 AM flight. Upon arriving at the lower level of Terminal C, I was shocked by the sheer number of people waiting to check in for their respective flights. As many experienced flight reports will put it, EWR felt more or less like a zoo, even at that early hour. I had to wait 10 minutes just to gain access to a check in kiosk, and once there, I helped my parents print out their boarding passes and check the suitcase containing our ski equipment, using a bag tag that we had to print out and attach ourselves. Once again, I was randomly selected to use the TSA PreCheck line, though my parents unfortunately did not have that benefit. Then again, we've never paid for Global Entry, despite the fact that both of my parents hold the Chase Sapphire Reserve card, so it's impossible to know when we would get TSA PreCheck. Either way, when I made my way to the PreCheck line, it was surprisingly empty, while the regular line snaked around the second floor mezzanine.

The self-service kiosks, not surprisingly, were very crowded.
Another view of the check-in area from the bag drop counters.
I was through security in about five minutes, and proceeded to gate C136, which was quite a long distance from the security checkpoint, at the northernmost end of the terminal. Not surprisingly, no one was there yet, so after putting my stuff down, I went for a walk down the concourse. The highlight, of course, was the amazing sunrise. However, there was also a Boeing 777-300ER promotion sign as well as some balloons near gate C128. I do not really know why it is still there, especially considering the fact that the Boeing 777-300ER debuted at EWR almost a year ago. I also don't know of any new 77W routes that they will be starting out of EWR at this point (though things will change next year, when United takes delivery of four more 777-300ERs).

United has some pretty interesting flight information screens. This one indicated that our aircraft was N76269.

In-Flight Experience
United Airlines flight # 602
EWR (Newark-Liberty International) - SLC (Salt Lake City International)
Boeing 737-824/WL (N76269)
Economy, seat 22A
Flight Time 05:15
Before I knew it, boarding began one minute ahead of schedule at 7:44 AM, with pre-boarding being announced first. Boarding groups did not seem to be strictly enforced, as I was able to board at the end of Group 2, before Group 3 was called (of which I was in). Upon looking at the departure board, I figured out that our aircraft would be N76269, a Boeing 737-824 featuring DirecTV but not the Sky Interior. It was delivered to Continental in 2001.
Originally, I intended to take a later flight, in exchange for compensation because the flight that I was originally supposed to take was severely overbooked. As you might already know, in April, Dr. David Dao was dragged off of a United Express flight from Chicago to Louisville because he refused to give up his seat to United Express crew members, a process known as "involuntarily denied boarding." As a result, United made many changes to its policy for "bumping" passengers from flights, and one of those was that they increased the amount of compensation that passengers would receive for taking a later flight to $10,000. I hoped to take a flight departing around the same time but with a connection in San Francisco, which would arrive about 3 hours later than planned. The routing was the following:
1. UA 497 (B777-200, N774UA) EWR-SFO 0830 EST - 1144 PST
2. UA 1610 (B737-900ER, N37470) SFO-SLC 1250 PST - 1549 MST
Unfortunately, I apparently lined up too late in front of the gate agent, and by the time the agent got to me, they didn't need any more volunteers. Ironically, the person right in front of me who stepped up to volunteer got on the same flights that I was hoping to get on.
The Boeing 737NG series represents the backbone of United's domestic fleet, and is fairly standard as far as domestic flights go. After boarding, I turned right and passed the First Class cabin, which contained 16 standard black leather recliner chairs arranged in a 2-2 configuration.
After passing through a bulkhead wall, I arrived in the main economy section, which consists of solely Economy Plus seats until the exit row. I would be seated in 22A, in the first row of normal economy. This seat was right over the middle of the wing, and unfortunately for those who like to look out the window, the view is somewhat blocked by the wing itself. Despite the fact that the domestic first recliners look extremely antiquated, I was pleased to find out that the generic Continental cloth seats had been removed and replaced with United's signature post-merger seats (based on the B/E Aerospace Pinnacle model), as shown below. Despite what many people have said about these seats, I found them fairly comfortable, even for the 5-hour ride west.
When I loaded my carry-on and coat into the tiny overhead locker, I immediately regretted not doing my research prior to this flight. As for the domestic 737-800s, United offers only a measly 30 inches of pitch in regular economy, while Economy Plus gets at least 34 inches (the same as regular economy on JetBlue, as well as many Asian carriers). When I sat down in my seat, My knees touched the seat in front of me, even though I was sitting as far back as possible. This is indeed very frustrating, as I am of average height (6'0"), and for many taller people, this could become a severe inconvenience, especially for this 5-hour flight. In addition, the maximum seat width in economy on Boeing 737s is 17 inches, the same you'll get on a 10-abreast 777 or 9-abreast 787. This is due to the fact that the 737's fuselage is especially narrow. On most Airbus A320s, you'll see 18-inch wide seats due to the fact that its fuselage is exactly six inches wider than the 737's. Because of this, I would have been squeezed both from the front and from the side, had it not been for the fact that a little girl was sitting in the middle seat, meaning that I had more room to move my shoulders about.
United has kept the Thales DirecTV system on the refurbished seats, and moved the seatback literature to just below the TV screen, instead of in the seat pocket below, so customers can theoretically gain more knee room. DirecTV, unfortunately, is not free on United. I paid $5 before the flight to access the in-flight entertainment, which I thought was a reasonable cost for a flight lasting over 5 hours. Unfortunately, aircraft with DirecTV do not offer power outlets, while aircraft with Personal Device Entertainment offer two plugs for every three seats. Luckily, I brought a large power bank to charge my devices. You can purchase one here.
After boarding had finished, some people in the group that I was traveling with called the flight attendants and told them to hold the boarding door for a family that just cleared security. Unfortunately, the flight was already a few minutes behind, so the family ended up missing the flight.
Once we pushed back, we started up the #2 engine, and did a single-engine taxi toward the business end of runway 4L. We started up the #1 engine about halfway there, and waited for a couple of planes to takeoff before we aligned with the runway. After waiting for ATC clearance, the flight crew applied TO/GA power, and we rumbled past a line of over 10 aircraft waiting for departure clearance and lifted off into the overcast skies over the New York area.
Can you spot the Delta 747-400 (N666US) lurking about the terminals? Unfortunately, Delta retired their 747s from commercial service just a week before my flight. They'll still be flying football charters until January 2, though.
Downtown Newark and EWR airport can be seen in this photo.
At this point, I activated an ADS-B antenna that I had built prior the flight. Before you go around blaming me for using these devices, keep in mind that they are perfectly legal, and mirror certain systems on the aircraft itself. ADS-B and GPS receivers, when used during flight, do not cause any interference to the aircraft's systems whatsoever. I had also plotted the filed flight plan for our flight into ForeFlight, a mobile EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) used by private pilots, as reference. However, as you will later see, we had a last minute change to our flight plan, and we ultimately ended up flying north of our intended route.
United's own flight map on the entertainment screens was displaying data that did not seem to agree with what my GPS was displaying.
We first climbed north over the city of Newark, and continued a due north heading until we reached Poughkeepsie, at which point we began setting a course due west. After leveling off at 5,000 and 10,000 feet, we began a slow series of climbs to get to our initial cruising altitude of 32,000 feet. The Boeing 737-800 and -900ER are known to have terrible climb performance, which is why they need to do the so-called "step climbs," when you level off between climbs to gain airspeed instead of climbing continuously.
Once we broke through the thick cloud cover at 30,000 feet, the seat belt sign turned off, and I began watching one of the eight movies playing on a loop, War of the Planet of the Apes. I had already seen this movie before, and because it was very good, I honestly didn't mind seeing it again, as the other seven options looked fairly boring. The Flight Attendants also began the meal service during this time, with one distributing stroopwafels - United's signature snack, and the other conducting the drink service for the passengers. After requesting two stroopwafels, it took 10 minutes for me to get the drinks I ordered - a sparkling lime water and an orange juice. I feel that the efficiency could be improved if the flight attendants each serve both the drink and the snack, with each doing half the cabin. But to be honest, this is not a big deal. Interestingly, a full drink service was conducted right after this one, even though many people had not finished their drinks. Furthermore, the Flight Attendants came through the cabin with orange juice and water at least two more times during the flight.
At this point, I attempted to connect to the in-flight Wi-Fi, provided by United itself. Transcontinental flights on Boeing 757-200 aircraft offer reliable Gogo service, while international aircraft offer Panasonic wifi that almost never works. This wifi, however, loaded United's webpages at an acceptable speed (I did not choose to pay for the wifi, but you could pay using either money or miles).
As you can see, we were facing quite a strong headwind that reached almost 200 mph in some places.
After finishing my snack, I headed to the lavatory in the rear of the aircraft. There are just two for the economy class passengers (which meant that there was always a line for it), while the 16 first passengers and crew share one, located in the front. Upon entering, I felt that these lavatories were super cramped, and my shoulders were touching both walls the moment I entered. However, the sink was of an average size, and prevented water from splashing everywhere. I should note that you can't control the temperature of the water in the sink - in one lavatory it was freezing cold and in the other it was burning hot.
When I got back to my seat, I started watching MythBusters, my all-time favorite TV show, and continued to do so until the end of the flight. United's DirectTV features over 100 channels of live TV, as well as several movies playing on a loop. At this point, I placed a GPS device I had against the wall of the aircraft, and was able to get fairly good accuracy, between 10 meters and 30 meters. I placed my EFB on the tray table so I would be able to watch it while watching MythBusters at the same time, while my ADS-B device operated in my backpack, under the seat in front.

Two-and-a-half hours later, after requesting 10 stroopwafels and two cups of water, we began our initial descent into the Salt Lake City area. The view outside was stunning, as we flew right past the Wasatch mountain range heading south. Based on the filed flight plan I plotted, we were scheduled to use the NORDK5.16L arrival, but as it was reverse operations day in SLC due to the change in wind direction, we flew past the airport while maintaining an altitude of 10,000 feet AGL, made a U-turn, and lined up with runway 34R (the same as 16L, but in the opposite direction). Words honestly don't do justice to how beautiful the approach was, so I'll let you see for yourself.
33 minutes before schedule, we made a smooth touchdown, and immediately used full reverse thrust braking due to the thin atmosphere here at 4,200 feet above sea level. After clearing the runway, we taxied to a gate in the B concourse, where we parked right next to a company Airbus A319-131. It took quite a few minutes for the gate agents to link the jet bridge to the aircraft, unfortunately.
After I collected my belongings from the overhead bin, I made my way to the cockpit, where I had a few words with the flight crew. This 737 cockpit, being 16 years old, seemed very dated and in need of an overhaul. But first, let's have a look at United's domestic first class, which features the same black leather recliners that you'll probably find in a cheap furniture store. United has installed a new first class on its Airbus narrowbody aircraft, which is designed by PriestmanGoode.
Here's a comparison of our originally filed flight plan versus our actual one:
Original (Planned): KEWR NEWEL J60 DANNR PSB J60 IOW J10 DSM BFF MBW OCS NORDK5.16L KSLC
Actual Route: KEWR GAYEL Q818 WOZEE NOSIK JUVAG CESNA ABR DDY NORDK5.34R KSLC
After bidding farewell to the crew, I made my way down to baggage claim, a very small facility located adjacent to the security checkpoint. Now here's where the fun part began: At baggage claim 1, four United flights were sharing the same belt. This meant that I had to wait for three flights' worth of baggage to be claimed before our checked bag appeared on the belt. In total, the process took over 45 minutes for the bag to appear. For reference, Delta offers a bag tracking tool, as well as a guarantee that bags will arrive within 25 minutes of deplaning, and you are entitled to 2,500 miles (worth approximately $37.50) This is undoubtedly a very unfortunate situation, as other baggage claims could be used to full capacity as well. However, given that this is the midst of the holiday travel season, I don't want to blame United too much. What I do want to say though, is that one of my friends waited almost 2 hours at the baggage claim until he learned that the three bags he checked in were still stranded in EWR. Turns out, he checked them in too late, and they eventually arrived on a connecting flight over 10 hours later than planned, from what I heard.
I'm going to be very honest here. This flight did not meet the expectations that I had for United. Granted, the overcrowding at EWR's Terminal C and "BaggageGate" could have been avoided had I not been traveling with United during the busy holiday season. However, the 30-inch pitch in regular economy is unacceptable, and on par with many budget carriers such as Ryanair and Frontier. I got off the plane with severe knee pain after having them crammed into the seat in front of me for five hours. Furthermore, the fact that DirecTV is STILL not free will certainly angry many United frequent domestic travelers. Despite these shortcomings, I would rate the actual flight itself "acceptable" at best. Why? The cramped room and indifferent attitude provided by the flight attendants forces United to imply that they aren't really caring for their customers. As a longtime Delta flyer, I can assure that I have received better service on Delta's regional jets - not to mention the fact that Delta has invested heavily in improving the passenger experience in economy class, not just in the premium cabin. It is unfortunate that I have to say that I will not recommend flying United on this route again. However, if you find a very cheap ticket (in either the "K" or "T" fare classes) just like I did, it might still be worthwhile to give them a try.

This post is mainly aimed towards shell script newbies like myself and the goal is that they don't end up wasting time on this as I had to.
So, if you are creating a new shell script that requires 10 or more parameters, you need to remember one thing that you can't access the 10th and further parameters by just $10 or $11, etc.
and NOT the actual values of the tenth and eleventh parameters.
This is because the bash interpreter first sees $1 (in the "$10") and replaces its value immediately.
This would print the actual values of the parameters.

This week in the white house
February 24, 2017 · by msumadvocate · in News. ·
By Anna Landsverk
landsveran@mnstate.edu
The Trump administration is changing things at a rapid pace in these first few weeks of the presidency, and it is likely to keep at it through the famous "first 100 days." To help you keep up, we will be running a "This week in the White House" series for each issue with the details of major political changes, controversies and stories over the past week.
Cabinet Appointments
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was confirmed in a nailbiting 50–50 U.S. Senate vote, with Vice President Michael Pence breaking the tie.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions was confirmed with a slightly more positive vote of 52–47, with Sessions abstaining. However, there was controversy when Republicans voted the night before the final vote to silence Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) for reading a Coretta Scott King letter condemning Sessions' judicial record.
Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price was sworn in just hours after his confirmation on Friday, Feb. 10 with a vote of 52–47 along party lines, with Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) abstaining. Price's first goal is repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act.
Trump met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, assuring the key economic and political alliance. Trump declared the U.S. would continue to protect Japanese territories as it had done in the past, and it would form some type of bilateral trade agreement to make up for pulling out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Trump had a phone conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the first since a rather tense call in December regarding the "One China" policy. Trump affirmed that the U.S. would follow the policy, which establishes that there is only one China, meaning Taiwan is a part of the Chinese nation and not an independent state.
Iran's annual celebrations of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, typically occasions for heavy anti-American sentiments, were tamer than past years. Many political analysts expected greater levels of American flag-burning, cries for attacks on the U.S. and shows of hatred towards American people due to Trump's travel ban of citizens from Iran and six other countries. Instead, many Iranians thanked Americans who volunteered to help stranded passengers stuck on their way to the U.S. when the ban took effect.
A second court upheld the stay of Trump's travel ban of citizens from seven Muslim-majority nations, meaning the case could go to the Supreme Court. After a federal judge in Seattle suspended the ban on issues of legality and confusion among TSA and customs officials, Trump fought back, sending the issue to an appeals court. That San Francisco court upheld the ruling suspending the ban, prompting Trump to suggest writing a new ban to circumvent what could be a long legal battle.
White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway received "counseling" from other White House officials for her plug of Trump's daughter Ivanka's clothing line. Trump had previously criticized Nordstrom for dropping Ivanka's line, and in an appearance on the show "Fox and Friends," Conway directly promoted Ivanka's clothing, which is an ethics violation in her official capacity.

Bennett and W.C. Lowdermilk, circa 1930's

Our Top 10 spanned movies from all four months, with June as the big winner thanks to The Incredibles 2 ($598M) and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ($413M). May's highlight was Deadpool 2 ($318M), and the July winner was Ant-Man and the Wasp ($212M). This summer the mega-surprise was August's The Meg ($112M). Only 14 people trusted it, and two players specifically benefitted from its success. Even more surprising was that it was released in the SECOND weekend of August. Ballsy selections.
As everyone here knows, the white whale of the Summer Movie Pool is the "Perfect 10". Of the 608 entries submitted over the prior 20 years we'd seen a total of just three Perfect 10s, two of which came in the same summer (sorry Kate). And of those three entries, their Deviation Scores were 14, 24, and 18. Even with 10 correct picks deviation can still come into play. With Year #21 wrapped up we've now had a total of 676 entries submitted, and amazingly we have another Perfect 10 tie. Whoa. So again we need to look at Deviation... but this isn't going to bode well for anyone not named Kelly Perone. In the most incredible performance we've ever seen in the SMP, Kelly had a PERFECT DEVIATION to go along with her Perfect 10. That's right, a Deviation Score of 0. ZERO. Incredible!! Back in 2011 Kelly became just our second member to win the SMP in their very first year, and now she sets the standard for perfection. The $500.00 First Place prize is deservedly hers. Congrats!
With all this talk of perfection let's not forget that Jen Ballard also scored a Perfect 10 this summer, and the rest of us didn't. Jen also had a Deviation Score of 12, which in either other 10-for-10 summer would have won. Sadly just not this year. To be able to look at both Disney's Christopher Robin and Skyscraper and say, no I don't think so, and then look at both Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! and The Meg and say, yep they're definitely the ones... well major kudos to you as well for being smarter than us! Congrats on winning $100.00 for Second Place.
Third Place was a battle among those with 9 correct picks. 19 players to be exact. Thankfully we have a Scoreboard page that auto-calculates so we don't have to figure it all out ourselves. And lookie here... another tie. Dennis Berg's pursuit of his first SMP championship was well documented this summer, and it was his lack of faith in his very favorite actor in the world that did him in (the term "actor" used loosely). Kate Choomack, however, wouldn't let him have it all to himself, as her top selections were jaw-dropping. They get to split the $30.00 Third Place prize.
The pool runs from May 1 to Aug 31, so the only eligible movies are those that release within that date range. Your picks AND entry fee must be submitted before the site locks for the summer.
The Rules page of this site covers everything in detail.
Feel free to invite whomever you like... as long as they also pay on time. Be sure to send them this email so that they are able to sign up follow the payment instructions.
Have your picks submitted by May 2nd!!!
On May 3rd all picks will be revealed on the Current Standings page.
Any questions? E-mail us at summermoviepool@gmail.com.
Final prep of the SMP website is underway, and we're close to the start of the 2019 Summer Movie Pool! Now is the perfect time to research this summer's movies and start building your lists. The email invite to last year's participants will go out soon, but all are welcome to join once we go live.

Q: Swift 2.0 Parse PFFile/Image I have a Swift project that uses Parse to store profile pics.  For some reason the PFFile profile image was a pain to get working.  I finally got it working in Swift 1.2 with this function:
func image(completion: (image: UIImage) -> Void)
{
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND, 0), {

        if self.profilePictureImage == nil
        {
            if self.profilePicture != nil
            {

                self.fetchIfNeeded()
                if let data = self.profilePicture!.getData()
                {
                    self.profilePictureImage = UIImage(data: data)

                }
            }else
            {
                self.profilePictureImage = UIImage(named: "no_photo")!
            }
        }

        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),{

            completion(image: self.profilePictureImage)

        })
    })
}

profilePicture is the @NSManaged PFFile
profilePictureImage' is aninternal UIImage`
I've migrated the project to Swift 2.0 and it's crashing with an unwrapped nil error on the completion call.
What's changed?  How can I address this?  Thanks!

A: First off, check out the ParseUI framework which includes the PFImageView class for automatically handling the downloading and displaying of PFFiles.
Create the outlet
@IBOutlet weak var profilePictureImage: PFImageView!

Typical usage
// Set placeholder image
profilePictureImage.image = UIImage(named: "no_photo")

// Set remote image (PFFile)
profilePictureImage.file = profilePicture

// Once the download completes, the remote image will be displayed
profilePictureImage.loadInBackground { (image: UIImage?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
    if (error != nil) {
        // Log details of the failure
        println("Error: \(error!) \(error!.userInfo!)")
    } else {
        // profile picture loaded
    }
}

Outside of that, there have been a bunch of posts lately with people experiencing issues with PFFile.getData() not working in Swift2 due to the changes in iOS9 to app transport security. According to Parse this has been fixed in the latest SDK

Share & Care Foundation Provides Emergency Relief for Gujarat Flood Victims
IN: Disaster Relief
After committing $30,000 in emergency relief for flood victims in Gujarat, Share & Care continues to seek donations to fund temporary shelters, restore schools and healthcare centers, and provide water and sanitation provisions.
Note: We've added the Texas and Florida hurricanes — Harvey and Irma — to our relief operations, marking the first time we've needed to spread our resources across three disasters at the same time. But we must pull together to meet this unusual challenge.
Over the last few days, torrential rainfall has caused catastrophic floods in the state of Gujarat, where hundreds of lives have been lost and thousands have been left homeless. Vital roads and communication systems have been wiped out.
More than 60,000 families have to be evacuated to safer areas, with meager resources to live on. Thousands of acres of farmland are totally flooded and domestic livestock have been swept away. The death toll is rising daily and is expected to reach over several hundreds.
As the authorities and the media have yet to reach remote areas to assess the full extent of the disaster, it is feared the damage may be far more extensive than currently estimated. Because affected villagers have very little access to food and clean drinking water, we are likely to see the spread of serious epidemics such as cholera and malaria.
Share & Care Foundation has approved an immediate release of $10,000 to reputed local NGOs currently providing the relief work directly in the affected areas. Another $20,000 is planned to be sent shortly, bringing our initial contribution to $30,000.
These funds will be utilized to provide basic survival kits containing food rations, utensils, and basic medical aid as needed. We believe this funding will sustain at least 1000 families immediately until the larger funds from the government and private sector start to flow. We are gratified that other organizations such as the Indian American Senior's Organization of NJ (IASONJ) have expressed their intent to join hands with us in this effort.
Based on over 30 years of disaster response experience, Share & Care has undertaken an immediate, short- and long-term response program to reach out to the affected communities. With this being our 15th disaster response, our team has the invaluable experience of working in partnership with local communities.
Our goal is to raise $150,000 in disaster relief funds. Your support and generous contribution will make a huge difference in the lives of the people affected by this tragedy. Please make your check to "Share & Care Foundation" and mark it for "Disaster Fund" and send to Share & Care Foundation, 676 Winters Avenue, Paramus, NJ 07652. Or donate online now.
Immediate relief: $30,000
Supply of provisions, food rations, and basic utensils to homeless families (estimated cost ~ $30 per family)
Short-term to long-term relief: $125,000
Construction of temporary shelters for families in the fall of 2017. The temporary shelters are made of GI sheets and wooden frames to provide protection from the elements and some security.
Provision of potable water and sanitation under consideration
Restoration for livelihoods, schools, and primary healthcare centers, especially empowering women
Estimated to provide support for about 400 to 500 families

News Local The Cyprus Institute to document churches in occupied Cyprus
The Cyprus Institute to document churches in occupied Cyprus
The Cyprus Institute, in collaboration with the Byzantine Museum of Nicosia, was officially endorsed by the Department of Antiquities to document the churches of Ayia Solomoni at Komi tou Yialou, Panayia Pergaminiotissa at Akanthou, Panayia Apsinthiotissa at Syghari, and the Christ Antiphonitis Church at Kalograia, all of them in the occupied part of Cyprus.
A press release by the Cyprus Institute notes that following the invasion against Cyprus by Turkish military forces in 1974, looters stripped many of the region's churches, removing an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 icons and several dozen major frescoes and mosaics, intending to sell them illegally on the antique market.
The churches in this study were among those affected.
"Due to efforts of Cypriot authorities, fragments of those churches' frescoes have been repatriated and were digitally documented through high-resolution orthophotos. The churches were documented by similar means, in order to virtually re-position the frescoes in their original locations. The virtual re-composition of the frescoes along the looted walls helped quantify the missing parts, correctly re-locate virtually each fragment at its original position, obtain accurate colour information, and prepare a digital musealisation product to be included in the permanent exhibition display at the museum, which will feature a 1:1 scale reproduction of the church walls" the press release says.
It adds that the Cyprus Institute team responsible for the data collection consisted of Dr. Dante Abate and Marina Faka, who visited the Ayia Solomoni church last month together with the Curator of the Byzantine Museum, and sadly found out that the vandalism continues.
The damage to the apse has been recorded and can now be visualized through a 3D online model: (http://ephemera.cyi.ac.cy/sites/ephemera/3D1/ayia_solomoni.html).
At the following link, visitors can virtually explore the churches through the EpHEMERA database, which is a repository of 3D models of endangered architectural and archaeological heritage in the Eastern Mediterranean area: http://ephemera.cyi.ac.cy.
The restoration program for the looted and, today repatriated, frescoes and mosaic fragments, is funded by the Swiss government. All the artefacts are located at the Byzantine Museum in Nicosia.

Tiny but lovely 16th century cottage
Burton Overy
This village is lovely and was even mentioned in the Doomsday Book. Some claim that King Charles I hid here during the English Civil War!
A real slice of British rural life, complete with village pub and thatched cottages, the village is surrounded on all sides by rolling green hills for wonderful hikes to nearby villages (also with their own pubs, to satisfy your thirst at the end of a trek!).
It is in the heart of England, one hour by train to London and accessible to Oxford, Cambridge, the Cotswolds, as well as Norfolk and Suffolk, some of our loveliest counties. Surrounding cities include Nottingham, home to Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood! As well as great hikes, there are also nearby bike rental and trail centers!
The cottage is cozy, but beautifully maintained: it is a terraced cottage ( linked to three others ) in the typical 16th century style with beams dating back to the 12th Century when the Plague affected the area (all the houses were burned down and the oak timbers re-used to re-build the village).
Many of the villagers here commute to London on a daily basis. That said, it's a round-trip of about 1.5hrs (15mins to train station; 55mins on the train), and a car would be most important here. Real estate values in the village are sky high, by virtue of the natural beauty of the countryside and the much sought-after homes.
I think that it is a good base to explore our heritage, curl up by a log fire or eat at the local pub which has an outstanding reputation for fine dining.
While there are no shops in the village, the next village is less than a mile away and has all you need by way of groceries and other essentials.
If it's privacy and tranquility you're looking for, this is the place! That said, there is much local village entertainment to which you would be welcome and some very interesting regulars at the pub.
The cottage is fully equipped, with dishwasher, washer/dryer, sink-waste disposal etc and the garden is a true old English cottage garden.
The cottage is ideally suited to those seeking to take advantage of the true British village experience and who would enjoy exploring central England, but with the knowledge that London is very accessible indeed.
