DAILY BLOG AT LA FOIE
Due to time pressures during June I didn't get time to update the blog. However here's a summary of events up to 7th July.
Our friends Jo and Ian along wih four year old Sam arrived on 14th June. New friends Richard and Helen along with their friends Tim and Mrs Tim arrived on the following day. The four men went to Le Mans on the Saturday and Sunday whilst the girls went out shopping, eating and boozing. Le Mans was very good and I'm sure if you follow it you'll know the outcome.
After Le Mans it was time to start the actual packing for the move. I had advertised the Land Rover and this was quickly snapped up by an English chap in Normandie. He paid for it unseen as he was going on holiday. In the meantime I had to get a French MOT (CT). I booked it in and it duly failed! No lights, cracks in the tyres, long brake pedal etc. I had to get to work on it to get it retested before the new owner came to collect. The lights were a broken switch, I changed the wheels for the spare set that came with the vehicle when I bought it. However the brakes were a time consuming problem, time I didn't have. Add to these problems the weather turned hot, very hot. Some days it was in the 30's and, unusual for us, it was very humid. It took me ages to get the problem fixed... some idiot had put the brake shoe return spring on the two shoes instead of on the leading shoe and a peg on the backplate. Now, I wonder who that idiot could be. At this point I had to leave it at that and ask the new owner to collect it and finish the minor points and get the CT. Fortunatley for me he agreed and I will pay his costs for this.
I then had to get all the workshop equipment out into the middle of the workshop and all the parts into boxes. This took a few days as I could only work from 0600 to about 1400 as it got too hot after that.
I kept chasing the BMW dealer to finish the Mini but little progress was made. In the event it was not ready, in fact, having looked at it as I took some stuff out on the 22nd I doubt it's been worked on at all. It's in the same position it was 6 weeks earlier and there's a mass of cobwebs between the dash and drivers seat. He has promised, for the umpteenth time to get it finished and let me know. We have had to return in the Honda, which I wanted to sell in France and I'll have to fly back to collect it when it's ready. If it is ever finished!
I had spent ages on the internet sorting out the new stuff we needed for the new house. Due to my fractured vertebrae we decided to leave to large Ikea wardrobes and buy new ones. I also needed a fridge, freezer, washing machine, all in black, a new dining room table and 6 chairs, a new sofa bed plus a mass of smaller bits. It all went smoothly except for Tesco Direct who didn't seem to understand I wanted delivery on 16th June, not next day. My daughter took a day off to be at the house for all the large stuff to be delivered on 16th June. A TV aerial man was booked to install a new dish with a quad LNB and run two cables into the lounge, and one each into Lynne's room and the kitchen. All went well with no hitches on the day. Even the shed company delivered on the correct day and the assembly team came a few days later.
I ordered two sim cards and a fibre broadband from Plusnet. The sim cards were delivered to my daughter at the end of May and she brought them over when they came for a weeks holiday at the end of May, first week in June. Plusnet reported that Open Reach wanted access to the house to fix a fault. Problem was that until the line was working they could not get the internet line ordered. Something made me think the fault wasn't in the house but the distribution cabinet. We had no choice but to wait until we were there when the Open Reach engineer would come and fix the fault on Friday 30th. I had suggested they check the cabinet in the meantime but they insisted the fault was in the house. This meant we had no internet until it was connected. Plusnet had downgraded the order to ADSL (from fibre) as an ADSL line takes three days and a fibre takes ten. They would upgrade to fibre the following week. I had got the phone number from the previous owner who had cancelled the line as he used his mobile. Plusnet assured me I would keep the number so I had business cards printed with the new address and phone numbers. When we changed the sim cards from the French to UK cards we found that we had a very, very weak signal and it was almost impossible to make a call and be heard. We were constantly ringing Plusnet to sort all this out and were almost getting used to the obligatory half hour wait for their support team to answer the phone.
The home phone was not the number I was promised so I'll need new business cards printed. The internet came on line at 1700 on Wednesday (5th) I started catching up and went to bed at midnight and got up at 0200 to continue. At 0800 the broadband, which was the fibre I wanted, dropped out. Half an hour wait for support and it was decided the new router was faulty and a new one would be sent out. Whilst I was waiting for support to answer I get an email from Plusnet informing me my prepaid home phone money is running low and I needed to get it topped up. Seeing as I had given them a DD mandate I couldn't see why they didn't just raise a £10 charge to top it up. With no internet access I had no choice but to wait the half hour to get the pre-payment topped up. First chap asks me the "security" questions and then says "you have given me incorrect data I cannot help you" I asked what was wrong but he said he was not allowed to say. I hung up in a temper, dialled again and after half hour went through the same procedure. Same result. They wouldn't put me through to a manager until I had answered the security questions correctly. I then had a thought so made a third call and after the half hour wait spoke to a young lady with a brain. I expained the situation and my address and asked if the address on their file was my daughters. It was! When I ordered the sim cards I asked them to use the new address but send the cards to my daughter. They just put my daughters address in and this was the question I was getting wrong. Pre-payment topped up I got on with my life.
I have now purchased two sim cards from Vodafone as a neighbour says they get a good signal with Vodafone. I then spend the half hour waiting for Plusnet to provide me with the PAC's so Vodafone can transfer the number. The chap I speak to says he can't do it right now but he will process them in half hour (they seem to like half hours) and will email them to me later. So far they have not arrived so I'm looking forward to another half hour wait.
All in all I have had a nigtmare experience with Plusnet and, let alone would not recommend them I would advise people not to use them under any circumstances.
A few days before we leave I go to the AXA office in town to cancel the insurance on the Honda and arrange cover in the UK. she cannot cancel cover until we send them proof of new insurance. I ring Direct Line and they are happy to insure the car but will not give road risk cover until the car is on UK plates. It's illegal for a UK resident to drive a car on non UK plates. However, I'm still a resident of France (La Foie isn't sold yet) so I'm not breaking the law. No, that's what the policy says and we can't change it. I try Admiral with the same result. I then search google for a UK insurer who will provide full cover. It comes up with Adrian Flux. Having had a bad experience with them some years ago I'm reluctant to use them but think I'll give it a try. I give the chap all the details and he asks if I know the original UK reg number. I ask him to hang on whilst I go to the workshop and dig out the original plates. He says that it's eight minutes to twelve so why doesn't he ring back at twelve. Of course he doesn't. At 1220 I ring again and give all the details. Having completed the form I'm asked to wait whilst he rings the underwriter and gets the premium. I hang on a few minutes and he comes back. "The premium will be one thousand and...." He didn't get any further, I couldn't believe the price so said thanks but no thanks. We are driving the car on French plates with French insurance until I can get the UK number. I have had an MOT and it failed on two minor issues which I will fix on Sunday 9th and get a retest on Monday.
I now have to fill in a DVLA form V55 which I ordered online. I sometimes wonder why we call it "common" sense when it's so rare. The form refers to the CoC codes not the V5c codes for the data. I would guess that over half the imports of cars are from other EU countries and all EU countries have common codes on ther V5c (Reg. doc) if they had printed them as well I could have copied the data from the French Carte Gris. I've had to send Honda an email asking for a copy. If they won't send out a copy I'll have to pay £50 for a CoC (Certificate of Conformity).
As you may know I suffer from sleep apoena and had a machine from a company called Aliseo in France. I informed them I was leaving the country on 28th June and they said they'd pick the machine up on 26th. Of course they didn't and I had to remind them. They arranged for me to leave it at the Marie (Mayor). I now wish I'd kept it because......
.... when we were in the UK in March and "bought" the house in Royston we went into the local doctors practice and asked to be registered and asked the receptionist if a sleep apnoea machine could be available for 28th June. "Oh yes, fill in the forms, leave them with me and I'll arrange for a machine to be here for you". Lynne went to the doctors on the Friday we arrived. The receptionist looked for us on the system and couldn't find us. Lynne explained about coming in in March and she was told that the receptionist had been sacked because she was binning any paperwork she didn't understand and they couldn't just supply a machine, I would need tests to determine which type of machine I would need. We completed the forms and made an appointment to see the doctor next day. He then gives me an appointment form which I have to use the code and password to make an appointment at the sleep lab. I go home, make the call and am told the appointment will be in four months time and I will get a date nearer the time.
I cannot go four months without a machine as I will get one or two hours sleep a night and after about a week will be suffering from extreme sleep depravation. This has the effect of being like a zombie and making horrendous mistakes apart from falling asleep when driving. I've rang the lab and explained the situation and the secretary is trying to get me an emergency appointment... in about 6 weeks. I have also spoken to my MP who is trying to get a much quicker appointment. I have suggested they take the French lab results, which I have and supply me with an automatic machine, as I had in France. We could then do the tests in four months time. My doctor has written to them and sent the lab results and we await a phone call.
A week or so before we leave I put the Caterham in the garage next to the gites. A few days before we go, a guest informs me that the o/s/f tyre is flat. I remove the wheel and at 0800 next morning take it to Norauto (the French equivelant of Halfords/Quick Fit) to get it repaired. Mind you I did think it may just be a very slow leak through the split rim and that's what it turned out to be. Another 2 hours wasted, time I could ill afford to lose.
I arranged for a local TV aerial man to fit a new quad LMB to the satellite dish and run two cables into the lounge and one each into kitchen and Lynne's room (Lynne's room is teh dining room. She watches Netflix and is on facebook all the time so we have seperate rooms). When we arrive at the house and the furniture turns up on the Monday I have one TV and one decode so I fit the TV to the kitchen wall and make a bracket to hold the decoder on the wall. When I go to fit the sattelite cable I find it's a terrestial earial. I check the others. The lounge has a twin satellite cable but Lynne's room has an aerial cable. I ring the chap and tell him. He says he found an aerial in the loft and my daughter said I would have Freeview on my TV's so it would be OK to use the aerial. I don't have Freeview on any of the TV's other than mine which will go in the lounge which has the twin satellite cables. I ring him and explain. "Oh dear" he says, "I can't get there until next Monday as I'm on holiday in Spain"
With regard the movement of cars and workshop I planned to get a car transport drive, the chap who bought the MG over, to take the MG and Caterham to Royston. Then Hire a 7.5 tonner and get Louis in the village to help me one afternoon to load and time the trip so I got to Royston on a weekend where the kids could help me unload and put it away. However a friend who has a single car transporter arranges to come over for Le Mans. So I think he can come over with his trailer and take the MG back then bring back a 7.5 tonner and help me load the workshop and tow the trailer back with the Caterham on it. He agrees so I attempt to hire a 7.5 tonner with a tow bar. No chance! To tow a trailer with a 7.5 tonner you need an operators licence so the hire companies will not fit tow balls. OK, no problem, I'll drive the Caterham back. Lynne in the Mini, me in the Caterham and Ian in the lorry. All goes well and Ian takes the MG and returns with the lorry. He backs up to the workshop door and goes in for a rest having driven the hour and forty minutes from St Malo. I start loading and Ian comes out and helps for about fifteen minutes and then says he doesn't feel well and goes to bed. Luckily one of our guests helps me, two seventy year old loading a lorry with heavy equipment, one with two fractured vertebrae. It's all on and next morning I have to go to Chateaubriant to return the internet router. I get there and wait for them to open. When they do I go to the service desk and sit down. The lady who's desk it is is walking in and out of their back room and says, gruffly, that I can't sit there but to sit in the other chair about two feet away. After ten minutes of walking in and out of the back room she tells me I should wait for one of the sales people. So I duly go back into the shop and stand by one of the desks as a customer hums and hars about which new router he should have. Eventually he takes one and it's my turn. I explain that I've cancelled the contract and am returning the router. He logs on to his computer and brings my details up on screen. He dials a number on his phone then hangs up and looks at the screen again. He dials another number and then turns the phone to me and says I must ring the number shown. At this point I decide that forty minutes to hand in something that I've arranged to do is enough. I tell him I've already done that and they said to bring the router in so here it is. He says OK, one minute, presses a few keys gets up and walks to the printer and returns with the receipt for the router. I make my way home. I load the four spare wheels for the Caterham and the telescope on the lorry. I go inside and Ian is in bed on his phone. I ask him if he can put the water hose on the lorry and that I'm going to set off so I can miss the rain that's expected. Off I go and get to Ouisterham in two and a half hours. I ring Lynne expecting them to be half way here only to find they haven't left yet. I have lunch, a beer and several coffees. They turn up just in time for dinner and we have a very nice meal, our last in France. Ian had parked the lorry in the car park next to where I was parked which is for lorries and camper vans. When we return he checks the back and see's the handle of the lock isn't fully closed. He opens the back and finds two stowaways hiding in the back. He forceably evicts them, secures the back and we get in our vehicle to drive the 300 metres to the port. I start the Caterham but the clutch is making a very loud grinding/screeching noise. I switch off, put it in gear and start it up and drive off trying not to come to a stop. We get on the boat OK and have a drink and retire. It's arranged that I'll set off as quickly as I can to try and beat the rain that's due whilst Lynne and Ian meet up and drive up to Royston together. We dock at 0715 and get off fairly quickly. It isn't raining, yet. I see Ian at the queue for passport control and set off. I get to Southampton on the M27 and the clutch disintergrates. I pull onto the hard shoulder and ring Lynnes phone, straight into voice mail. So I ring Jo who is in the lorry and they are on the motorway but didn't find Lynne. I ask them if they can go back and get her. She can't find her way out of a cardboard box let alone drive from Portsmouth to Royston. They return and collect her. In the meantime I ring my daughter and ask her to get a breakdown lorry to get the car off the motorway and into storage until Ian can come back for it. She has this organised in about five minutes and the flat bed arrives about fifteen minutes later. I arrange with the comapny to store the car until Tuesday and will let them know when Ian will collect later that day. We get the car on the back and Lynne and Ian turn up. Ian sorts out the pickup with the driver of the breakdown lorry and I get in the car with Lynne and we set off to our new home. We get there at 1230, the four hours it always takes. Ian arrives at 1500 and goes to bed as he feels ill again. I, Lynne and Jo unload the lorry. Ian takes the lorry back at 1830 and returns in his van.
We must now turn our attention to the removal company. In early May I searched Google for "moving from France to UK" and got a list of agencies who arrange the removal. I phoned about three or four and asked if they could pick up in France on 27th and deliver in Royston on 30th. The first three said they couldn't make that commitment the fourth said it wouldn't be a problem seeing how far ahead I was booking. All went well and they turned up on the right day and in the time window I'd been advised. By 2100 all our home was in the large, ex Pickfords, lorry. They left at 0100, the time being dictated by the drivers hours.
We, as described above, left next day and arrived on the Thursday. We waited for the lorry to arrive on Friday but it didn't. We tried phoning the agent but it wouldn't answer. On Monday at 1300 a small 7.5 tonner arrives with half our stuff in it. The goods had been taken out of the large lorry it had been put in at La Foie and some of it was now on the 7.5 tonner. There was lots of damage! They took one of the single beds up in pieces, I assumed they'd dismantled it to save space. A book case had the back off and we found a box with expensive crystle glasses, all double wrapped in bubble wrap had been dropped and the contents smashed into little pieces. One of the TV decoders had the front panel off which I replaced only to find later that it was dead, presumably also dropped. Some of the boxes were wet. I know think the other bed has been damaged but this bed was a bit loose before so I'll probably fit some right angle brackets on the insides of the four corners.
The two chaps who delivered the first load said they'd bring the rest on Thursday 6th July. They didn't! I looked through all the paperwork and found the name and address of the moving firm (not the agent) and rang them. The lady said it would be here on Sunday. That's today so we'll see.
One last thing before we go back to daily entries.
I was on the phone to Plusnet and the chap explained that for the first few weeks the fibre connection may drop out and come back as it "finds itself" to initialise. I told him I do that but they just call me a dirty old man.
The blog now continues on July.

Visiting 9/11 Memorials & Monuments in Ohio & Just Beyond
Story and Photos by Matt Bayman
There are more than 700 official 9/11 memorials and monuments in the United States, including more than 20 in Ohio. They can be found in major cities and suburbs, as well as small towns and villages. They're often located in beautiful parks and natural settings, or next to fire stations.
Just by chance, some of the most striking memorials are located nearby to the Miami Valley and can be visited year-round, free of charge. Others require a longer drive, but are equally rewarding to see. This includes the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania, which is a powerful tribute.
With this year marking the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, it seems like a fitting time to visit these memorials and monuments and to remember the 2,977 people who lost their lives that day.
Memorials come in all shapes and sizes and each has its own character and story to tell.
Many of the monuments in Ohio were created by using steel columns from the collapsed World Trade Center buildings in New York City. Some of the columns are in the shape of crosses or are erect, while others look like miniature versions of the towers themselves. Some are twisted and melted together.
Other cities have used artwork and sculptures to commemorate those who lost their lives on 9/11. This includes the small but impressive monument in Lebanon. It features two 9-foot-tall marble towers that sit on top of a pentagonal pedestal of stone. It is located outside of the Warren County government complex.
Two of the standout memorials in Ohio can be found in Westerville and Hilliard, both of which are suburbs of Columbus and located within close driving distance of each other.
First Responders Park in Westerville is visually stunning. It contains statues, an eternal flame and a waterfall fountain that honors not only those who lost their lives on 9/11, but all of those who have fallen in the line of duty and service.
The park features a twisted steel column from the World Trade Center and a marker that shows where it was located on the building.
The 9/11 memorial in Hilliard, which is also located at a place called First Responders Park, is probably the most elaborate and solemn memorial. Located in the heart of the community, it features rows of granite walls that contain the names of each person lost on 9/11, as well as a large, jumbled piece of the World Trade Center that sits on top of a marble pedestal.
Large gatherings and memorial services take place at both of these parks each Sept. 11, with special activities planned for the 20th anniversary at both locations.
Located nearby, just south of Columbus, is Mott's Military Museum. Along with an extensive collection of United States military history, memorabilia and hardware, the museum contains a ladder truck that was recovered from the wreckage of the twin towers, as well as dirt and rocks from the United 93 crash site and chunks of limestone from the Pentagon building. There is a fee to enter the museum.
A very moving 9/11 monument (pictured above left) can be found in Alliance, Ohio, located south of Cleveland.
Alliance was the hometown of Chief Warrant Officer William Ruth, who died during the attack at the Pentagon, and Todd Beamer, who died in the crash of United 93 near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, which is really not that far from Alliance.
Beamer will forever be remembered for rallying passengers to take action against the terrorists, with his last words being, "Let's roll!" He and other passengers then charged and overtook the terrorists. As a plaque on the memorial in Alliance reads: "This successful counterattack prevented the hijackers from reaching their intended target in Washington D.C."
The Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania is a grand tribute to Beamer and the other heroes of Flight 93. Located in the rural foothills of eastern Pennsylvania, but easily accessible from Interstate 70, the Flight 93 National Memorial is operated by the U.S. National Park Service. It features three main areas of interest—the Tower of Voices monument, Memorial Plaza and the Visitor Center and Learning Center. All three are free to visit. The Tower of Voices is a 93- foot-tall musical instrument/monument that is unlike any other structure in the world. It holds 40 giant wind chimes that represent the 40 passengers and crew members of Flight 93. Each is tuned to a different key.
The architecture of the Visitor Center and Memorial Plaza are laid out to align with the exact path that Flight 93 took just before crashing into a nearby field. This stunning feature can be experienced from several vantage points in the park. An observation deck at the Visitor Center overlooks the crash site from above, while a series of hiking trails passes through the plaza and crash site area, creating a giant loop trek. All of the architecture and memorial walls point to a bolder that now marks the location of the crash site. The grass that grows above the now covered impact crater still looks different from the older grass that surrounds it, even 20 years later.
The Memorial Plaza contains a beautiful walkway and a memorial wall that has the names of each passenger engraved on it. A series of outdoor exhibits in the plaza explain the events of 9/11, as well as the investigation that followed and the event's aftermath.
The Visitor Center contains even more detailed and moving exhibits and tributes.
In all, more than an hour can be spent at the Flight 93 National Memorial, if not longer.
Not too far from Pennsylvania is a cluster of memorials and monuments in the Cleveland area, and then another in Tiffin and Toledo. The memorials in Cleveland are mostly located next to fire stations, and are always not too far from Lake Erie.
Closer to home, there are 9/11 monuments in Beavercreek, Fairborn, Kettering and Urbana (pictured above right). All of them are unique and special in their own way, and each is worth the short drive to see.
Whether taking a long road trip, or a series of day trips, visiting Ohio's 9/11 memorials (and those nearby) can be a great way to reflect on the 20th anniversary of the event. It's also a way to teach our children and grandchildren about the historical events that happened that day, and to see and experience the wonderful things that people can do when honoring their heroes and loved ones.
Additionally, the Miami Valley Veterans Museum in Troy houses a scale model of the World Trade Center and a piece of wreckage from the World Trade Center. Both can be viewed during regular museum hours.
The following images and map above show just some of the 9/11 memorials that can be visited in Ohio. For a comprehensive list of all the memorials in Ohio and throughout the United States, visit 911rememberedthetravelingmemorial.org.
While small in comparison to many other memorials, the Painesville 9/11 Memorial, 28 Mentor Ave., is unique in that, along with a piece of steel from the Twin Towers, it features twin lights that shine upward like pillars at night. Local firefighters designed and built the monument.
The Tiffin Police and Fire All Patriots Memorial is located in All Patriots Memorial Park, 201 Water St. right next to the Sandusky River. It features a beam from the World Trade Center and also memorializes Tiffin first-responders who have died in the line of duty.
The Beavercreek 911 Memorial is a 6,000-pound structure located at 1153 N. Fairfield Rd. It contains a piece of the north tower of the World Trade Center that was once located on the 101st and 105th floors of the building.
Along with the marble towers and pentagon-shaped base, the Lebanon 911 Memorial at the Warren County Government Center also includes two benches, one to remember passengers and the flight crew killed on Flight 93 and another to remember the Warren County natives, Wendy Fauklner and Robert Peraza, who were both killed in the attacks.
First Responder Park, 374 W. Main St. in Westerville, (pictured above and below) was dedicated in 2010 to honor the service and sacrifice of all first responders. The centerpiece of the park is a section of steel known as "C-40" from the north tower. The memorial cost $1.2 million to build.
Located in front of the National Center for Medical Readiness at 506 E. Xenia Dr., the Fairborn 911 Memorial features an engraved monument and a piece of the World Trade Center.
The 9/11 memorial in Urbana is located at Freedom Grove Park at the intersection of U.S. 68 and St. Rt. 55. Each September 11, the area around the memorial is surrounded with 450 "tribute" flags and the public is invited to attend a ceremony that honors those who lost their lives on 9/11. This includes Alicia Titus, an Urbana resident who was a United Airlines flight attendant. Her plane was hijacked and flown into the south tower of the World Trade Center.
First Responder Park is located at 5323 Center St. in Hilliard and features granite walls inscribed with the names of those who lost their lives, as well as a reflecting pool, personalized pavers, a monument honoring fallen heroes and a metal sculpture made from the steel of the World Trade Center.
The Alliance 9/11 Memorial, 2930 S. Union Ave., (seen here and on the cover page of the story) is the only one in the country made with aluminum debris. The two pieces of debris stand in the same orientation as the twin towers. The 1,120 pound, 20 foot memorial was created by students from the University of Mount Union and is meant as a "reminder of the images of jagged shards of aluminum rising up from the rubble at the World Trade Center".
The Lakewood 9/11 Memorial, 1460 Madison, features a pair of 5,000-pound beams from the World Trade Center.
The Kettering 911 Memorial in Lincoln Park is a sculpture created by artist John Van Alstine. It's located in Seitz Plaza inside of the park. The sculpture is unique because it contains a sun dial that aligns with a stylus on the monument at precisely noon each September 11.
The Flight 93 National Memorial is located about five hours from most of the Miami Valley, not far from Interstate 70. As with any U.S. National Park, its quality is hard to match and it's a place that everyone should see.
(The boulder in the top right picture was put at the location where Flight 93 crashed. The entire grounds and monuments point to it!)

27-Qt. Stacking Drawer is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 7.
Sterilite 27-Qt. Stacking Drawer, White Frame With See Through Drawer, 17"L x 14-3/8"W x 10-1/4"H.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SteriliteFan11 from Sturdy storage option!! I wanted to create an "instant pantry" in a closet which was formerly a utility closet. The Sterilite stacking drawers and Sterilite gasket boxes were the answer! I combined both the 16 quart and the 27 quart stacking drawers to accommodate some of the items I wanted to store. All items work beautifully together! The 27 quart stacking drawer gives me plenty of room to store pasta, flour, tea, rice, and paper plates, etc. -- with plenty of room left to spare. These drawers are sturdy and stack neatly. This was the ideal option for my "instant pantry". More quality and economical products from Sterilite!
Rated 5 out of 5 by jwest from Love the product, but disappointed I absolutely love the modular stacking drawer system! My children share a very small bedroom and I needed to put a drawer system in their closet, I found these drawers and absolutely love them! they fit perfectly in their closet! We recently bought them bunk beds and I have another small space available that I wanted to put another system, but as the kids are getting bigger, I really like the large and large tall modular drawers, I was very disappointed that they have been discontinued, I have searched high and low, hoping someone would have some! Please bring them back!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pam900 from I Love these Drawers! I purchased four of these drawers to mix-and-match with other sizes for a place to store my quilting supplies. I love them. The drawers slide out without coming all the way out, and if you want to completely remove a drawer you need only push in on the sides and it comes out easily. They are see-through so I can see at a glance what is in each drawer. I have them out in the open and they look really nice. I couldn't be happier with them.
Rated 5 out of 5 by albruner1 from Great Product I have these in the spare bedroom for storage of my craft items, my kitchen accessories, since my kitchen is small and my extra items for the classroom.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Deborah M from Perfect for so many things I love how you can stack these. I use these for laundry supplies, closet storage, extra towels, etc. These are perfect for almost everything and they stack wonderfully for a very organized look.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Robin from Very useful for storing my sweaters I purchased several of these drawers to put in my closet to store all my sweaters. Like that they stack and expand as my needs change.

News Local Jewish museum in Cyprus aims to build bridges to Arab world
Jewish museum in Cyprus aims to build bridges to Arab world
A new Jewish museum in Cyprus aims to be a bridge-builder to the Arab world and beyond, a place where visitors who may never set foot in Israel can learn about the Jewish faith, the Holocaust and the tumultuous beginnings of the Jewish state.
Items going on display in the seven-story structure in Larnaca will include some of more than 100 Torah scrolls – Judaism's holiest book – that Russian authorities discovered in the Nazis' possession and which for decades were kept at a military installation 450 kilometers (280 miles) east of Moscow.
A key selling point for the eastern Mediterranean island nation as the venue for the museum is its proximity to the Middle East. It plans to open in May 2019.
Through a number of state-of-the-art virtual reality exhibits at the new museum, visitors donning head-mounted gear will get a sense of the internment camps of Cyprus, where the island's then-British rulers held more than 51,000 Jews fleeing post-World War II Europe. Another floor will give visitors a sense of the Nazi concentration camps where millions of Jews and others were exterminated in the Holocaust, while a third floor will exhibit the sights and sounds of Jerusalem.
"Through education, we can make a big difference and a big change," says Rabbi Arie Zeev Raskin, the leader of Cyprus' 3,500-strong Jewish community. "It's an opportunity for a prince from Abu Dhabi to learn about Jerusalem, to open the door to these people and learn about the Holocaust."
The museum is the brainchild of the Israeli-born Raskin and Sibyl Silver, director of the U.S.-based Jewish Heritage Foundation. Silver will also provide the museum with objects the Nazis stole from eastern European countries and that were recovered by the Soviet Red Army.
The rare scrolls dating back to the 19th century tell the stories of once-thriving Jewish communities in Europe that were wiped out, says Silver. She said Russian authorities have agreed that the scrolls – which remain under their legal jurisdiction – could be put on exhibit in Cyprus because of Moscow's traditional bonds with the island.
Raskin also keeps two Torah scrolls at the Cyprus Jewish Community Center in the southern coastal town of Larnaca that will eventually be put on display at the museum, which will be built adjacent to the center. The oldest of those scrolls is over two centuries old, hails from Germany and is written in a very rare handwriting style.
With Cyprus experiencing record numbers of tourists, Raskin aims to attract vacationers and businesspeople from Arab countries, Russia and Israel. He estimates the overall cost of the museum will reach around 9 million euros ($10.47 million).
The rabbi, who moved to the island in 2002, also wants to shine a light on Cyprus' link to post-World War II Jewish history. He says a dedicated exhibit would honor those Cypriots, like the late Prodromos Papavasiliou, who helped thousands of Jews during their time in British-run internment camps in the late 1940s.
"One of the most important things for me to complete my mission is to show these righteous people," says Raskin.
Silver says the project has the backing of Holocaust educators including Rabbi Michael Berenbaum, the former project director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the head of Steven Spielberg's Shoah Foundation. Jewish and Israeli celebrities will be on hand to promote the museum at its opening next spring.

She was born in St. John's Mercy Medical center St. Louis, labor room 5, at 6:55 AM CST, on May 5 2010 (Friday). She weighs 7 pounds (3.15 kg). Mom and baby were both doing fine. Obviously our lives changed forever since her arrival. For me personally, I need to worry about two people instead of one; and vice versa. The first 2 days at hospital after baby born is a bit overwhelming. Things calmed down quite a bit after the initial panic. And I think we both become more confident about taking care of baby as time goes: diaper change, swaddle, and feed the baby (for my wife).
They are a million times fun than iPhone, or at least a thousand times fun than computer programming. Maybe my wife will disagree with me on this one. Nowadays because I work in office (instead of home), I see my baby only in early morning and evening, so I tried to spend some quality time with her (like changing diaper and burp). It seems to me our baby has some change everyday. The first 24 hours is obviously very sleepy. After that she is more active, besides the cries every baby does, I can see her smile a little from yesterday.
A year ago this time (March 5, 6 and 9) is the 10 year low of US stock market (Dow Jones stock index).
I found some iPhone apps for baby: like this one "baby brain" and "total baby" (available at iTune app store), both tracks baby diaper change and feeding, among other things. I thought about this when my wife started write those information on a notebook (although she has iPhone).

One of the best decisions I made for our wedding is letting Heidi and her team work their magic on our venue. Communication is quick and transparent. We received way more than what we paid for. I have booked for a luxury package, but she was more than willing to accommodate my wishes such as putting up-lighters to make it more magical. She did not mind decorating 2 floors even! Very organised by jotting down every information during meetings and conversations. I could not thank Heidi enough for taking the stress out of me during our wedding preparation. I am a happy bride!
What an amazing transformation of the room, guests were very complimentary about the whole set up. I want to thank you at Bespoke Events & Hire for the hard work you both put in. A reliable, approachable and professional service. Once again thank you so much. Certainly will be using you again.
Thank you so much for your perfect service! Our venue set up looked amazing and everyone commented on how lovely it had been done! Heidi is a friendly lady who you can trust to be reliable and deliver what you want! Highly recommend!
Thank You so much..your service was outstanding..from first initial contact, to the end of the night, and it was a pleasure to meet you both. The hall looked beautiful and U had a lot of compliments about it. Thank you for travelling down to help me & for what you did.
We were very happy with Bespoke Events, I was very pleased with how the venue looked for my wedding, exactly what I wanted and Heidi is amazing couldn't do enough and communication was 100% which is what every bride needs and wants with the run up to a wedding! Thank you so much!
I was really happy with the way the venue looked. All the guest were taking about how beautiful and smart the work was. Really pleased with all the help and keeping in contact up to the wedding day to ensure us that everything was all going to plan I would recommend this company to anyone.


A year ago, March 25, 2015 in the city of Málaga (Spain) opened the first European branch of the Russian Museum. Since opening "Colección del Museo Ruso" was visited by more than 107 thousand visitors and this is only the begining!
In 2016 the Russian Museum branch in Málaga hold exhibitions "Jack of diamonds" and "The four seasons".
We would like to thank our collegues from Málaga for creation an excellent video about the first year.

Auðunn illskælda (Old Norse "the bad skald") was a 9th-century Norwegian skald. Skáldatal lists him as one of Harald Finehair's skalds. Egils saga Skallagrímssonar notes that he was Harald's oldest skald, and had earlier been a skald for Harald's father Hálfdan svarti. He was called illskælda because he had once in a drápa about Harald copied a refrain from another skald called Úlfr Sebbason. The drápa was subsequently called Stolinstefja "the drápa with the stolen refrain". Only a few stanzas of his works are known today.

The Hauksbók contains a tale called the Skaldasaga Haralds harfagra ("Saga of the Skalds of Harald Fairhair") describing an expedition to Sweden undertaken by Olvir Hnufa, Thorbjorn Hornklofi, and Auðunn to expiate an offense. Its historicity is disputed.

Paul Davis, Leader of the Official Opposition, today expressed condolences to the family and friends of former PC MHA Hazel Newhook.
Ms. Newhook was a trailblazer in her community, business and political efforts. She was one of the first women in the province to hold office as the Mayor of Gander in 1975, and represented the district of Gander in provincial politics from 1979 to 1985. Ms. Newhook became one of the first women to be appointed to cabinet as the Minister of Municipal Affairs under Premier Brian Peckford.
"Hazel Newhook had a profound impact on the province, and led the way for many women to enter politics. She was a trailblazer and will be fondly remembered and respected for the many contributions she made to Newfoundland and Labrador. To have been bestowed the Order of Newfoundland and Labrador was a true testament to Ms. Newhook's character and long-lasting contributions to our province. We take pause to remember Ms. Newhook's loved ones in our thoughts and prayers and join all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians in celebrating her legacy," said Davis.

[VIDEO] Lexie talks about "passing." [ASL & subtitles]
By Lexie Cannes (Courtney O'Donnell) on October 5, 2017 • ( 6 )
LEXIE CANNES STATE OF TRANS — In this short video in ASL (American Sign Language) and English subtitles, Lexie (Courtney O'Donnell) addresses the concern of some trans people who were given the misguided notion from others that trans people must "pass" and meet other criteria to be a "real" trans person.

Hello, my name is Lexie. It comes from my role in the movie "Lexie Cannes." My real name is Courtney O'Donnell.
I want to talk about "passing." A trans person "passes" when they are not recognized as being transgender.
I've been asked about those who insist that trans people MUST "pass" to be a "real" trans person.
Not true. Passing is NOT required to be transgender. Your gender ID or expression is who you are.
Don't listen to those who say criteria must be met. They are wrong. Walk away or block people who oppress you this way. Rid yourself of those telling you how to be trans from your life.
Remember, it's your life, your decision.
Stay alive, thanks for watching and ROCK ON! Love to all of you!

while passing is an important survival tool, it's more important to be authentic.
Ive given up on trying to appear femme, I am me. Don't like it tough shit.
Please don't tell us how you really feel
Jennifer Lopezgomez
Let me triple-underline what Lexie says here. I am a highly-feminine bikini Barbie trans female Webcam model even though I am more than 50 years old — few people in real-life can detect that I am trans unless I tell them — I usually wear short denim-miniskirts and strappy blouses every day because I live in a warm climate — I worked as recently as 2015 as a legal in-person sex worker — people who i've known for multiple years locally where I am were super surprised to learn I am trans in a recent newspaper article about me — they have known me only as Jennifer, female, sexy beautiful older lady. So my physical transition has been outstanding.
But, that said, it is a total crock for anyone to falsely claim that one "has to pass" to be genuine trans. I well-remember being brutally bullied — both online and in real life face-to-face — by both non-trans people as well as other trans people early in my transition for "not being trans enough" because at that time my appearance was not a stunningly Barbie feminine.
Fellow trans ladies can be just as vicious at bullying us as non-trans bigots, believe me — which is rather sad and too bad.
In any case, passing is great — these days I just live a a beautiful woman and Model all the time — but what devastating bullying from both trans people and non-trans bigots for not passing "well-enough" early in my physical transition. This made me suicidal at that time — and this is totally evil bullying whether it comes from non-trans bigots or trans-on-trans bullying. Jennifer, female model and trans female model. xx

TORONTO, ON (August 30, 2018) — ACTRA says today's CRTC's new conditions on license renewals of broadcasters is a win for Canadians who want to see Canadian stories. In a new decision released today, the CRTC has reversed last year's decision to decrease the required amount broadcasters must spend on Canadian Programs of National Interest (PNI).
Last year's CRTC's decision to decrease the amount that Bell Media, Rogers Media and Corus Entertainment are required to spend on Canadian Programs of National Interest (PNI) would have had a severe negative impact on the production of Canadian television dramas, comedies, children's programming, long-form documentaries, variety and performing arts shows, and on the health and productivity of the film and television sector as a whole. The Liberal Government sent the decision back to the CRTC for reconsideration following petitions filed by Canadian producers, creators and performers, and letter and petitions from thousands of citizens deeply concerned with the potentially devastating impacts of the decision.


Marketing used to be a simple affair. Business had limited options when it came to promoting their goods and services – namely print, radio and television. The introduction of the internet and it's ever-growing popularity has opened up a whole host of new opportunities for business to reach their target audiences, opportunities that are fast becoming essential elements of a holistic marketing campaign.

Diccon Lloyd-Smeath's Champions League Insider
Ovie Soko - Next man up
LONDON (Diccon Lloyd-Smeath's Champions League Insider) - Ovie Soko is flying! Metaphorically and at times, literally.
Breaking Out
The 2.03m (6'8") GB International and perpetual highlight-machine, is in the middle of his best season as a professional and appears - by all intents and purposes - to be grabbing every opportunity that falls within his grasp, with both hands. After injury halted his 2016/17 season with UCAM Murcia, it took the start of this campaign for Soko to rediscover his rhythm.
Although Soko is now averaging 14.4 points, 8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 29.4 Minutes in the Basketball Champions League and looking dominant on both ends of the floor, this season hadn't started as smoothly for club or player. Between late October and November, UCAM Murcia lost 4 straight in the Basketball Champions League and their hopes of reaching the Play-Offs started to fade. However, something seems to have clicked and since Gameday 8 in December, Murcia are 4-1.
During that period, Soko is averaging 20.7 points and 9.4 rebounds, as close as you can get to averaging a 20 Point double-double! A period that also included a pivotal road win at Dinamo Sassari in Sardinia and an ill-tempered home win against EWE Baskets Oldenburg, in a raucous Palacio de los Deportes. In both cases UCAM Murcia wrestled back the head-to-head and have now sealed their place in the Play-Offs. Soko was pivotal in both games, especially the physically dominant performance against EWE Baskets that not only won him the round 11 MVP but catapulted him into being a late-runner for the overall MVP race.
Soko is certainly starting to look like a man on a mission and a man with not only the desire but also the ability, to continue grasping the opportunities presented to him.
"My older brother was really the architect of my early basketball career. I was into Football but he played and I just wanted to be like him."
Ovie Soko
When you take a closer look at the mountain path that has led Soko to this point, the ability and willingness to take opportunities when they present themselves, is a consistent theme. Although the player you see now, is a versatile forward that guards the paint and the perimeter, scores, rebounds and creates for his teammates at Murcia - and with the Great Britain National Team - MVP nominations and a career among Europe's elite wasn't always on the cards.
In many ways, the route that led Ovie Soko to this point, is a perfect representation of the power that Basketball has, to positively impact the lives of young people. Growing up in Tottenham, North London, it was the passion of his older brother that introduced him to the sport and the patience of his parents and club coaches that helped to make sure a talented, passionate and at times aggressive, young basketball player stayed the course.
Soko followed his brother and at the age of 10, joined Barnet Bulldogs Basketball Club in North West London, - the same club that also gave a start to Britain's only NBA champion to date – Temi Fagbenle (2017 WNBA Champion with the Minnesota Lynx). On first look, his coaches could instantly see the attributes that are still contributing to his success to this day.
"A very aggressive and often unruly Ovie Soko joined us when he was around 10 years old," said Ted Polson from the Barnet Bulldogs. "His passion, strength and desire stood him out from the others immediately. His fundamental skills were poor but our coaches worked hard with him and soon he was playing in groups 3 years above his age".
"When we are younger, we think we are working hard but in fact we are underestimating ourselves and setting our own limits with our work ethic. Coach Davis really taught me that nothing I wanted was in my comfort zones."
It would be easy to imagine, that with the passion and physical talent that the young Ovie Soko possessed, the path was laid out from there but the club still had an important part to play.
"At around 14 years of age my wife and I received a call from Ovie's parents saying they were concerned about the path he was taking, he had been excluded from school on a number of occasions and was constantly in trouble, his parents said he was only interested in basketball and could we help," said Polson. "All Ovie was focusing on was getting a scholarship to America or Spain. We agreed to try and help him to achieve his dream, but only on the condition that he got back into school and improved his grades."
Through the help of the club, his family and his own determination, Soko committed to following the right path on and off-court. As a reward, a trip was organized to a camp with Estudiantes in Spain. Although an injury sustained on camp prevented a permanent move to the Club Estudiantes Youth Programme, a chance encounter with another Spanish Coach provided another push in the right direction.
"The following year, former Spanish player Juan Orenga, asked for our help watching a player who lived in Kent. While here Juan attended one of our training sessions and he was challenged by Ovie to play One-on-One. Ovie won!! Juan quickly suggested that America would be a better option."
Ted Polson, Barnet Bulldogs
This suggestion became a reality when Soko was seen attending a camp in Oregon by a friend of a coach in Hampton Roads Academy - a private School in Virginia. Game tape was passed on and within the space of one whirlwind summer, Soko had left London for America and was a step closer to his ambition of achieving a college Scholarship. That ambition became a reality when Coach Mike Davis of the University of Alabama at Birmingham saw him playing on the AAU circuit. To this day Ovie Soko still credits Coach Davis as a huge factor in his career.
"I was starting to get recruited from several schools but Coach Davis drove all the way from Alabama to Florida to watch me play and he ended up being a huge influence on me," said Ovie Soko. "Not just in Basketball but in life. He taught me life lessons that at the time I didn't understand but I think back on them all the time now".
In particular, Soko credits his time with Coach Davis at UAB, for teaching him how to remove his own limitations.
The next stop was a transfer in his senior year, from UAB to Duquesne. Again, the impact of his coach at Duquesne can still be felt when you watch Soko now. Only this time the learning curve was almost exclusively on-court. During his senior year, Soko started to show signs of becoming the player we are seeing now. He averaged 18 points and 8 rebounds and in Coach Jim Ferry, he'd found someone willing to embrace his swashbuckling raids in transition and ability to make plays from the perimeter as well as inside.
"With Coach Ferry, we had a much more up-tempo system," said Ovie Soko. "Closer to the modern way, where 4 or even 5 guys could bring the ball up the floor. I'd say I always had the ability to bring the ball up and make plays but Coach Ferry really taught me how to refine that ability and the timing of when to do it. When I could use it to speed up the game and when to give it to the guard."
The ability to catch a rebound and bust out in transition - in full freight train mode - is still a huge feature of the versatility that makes Ovie Soko such a difficult match-up for so many players at the 4 or even 5 in small line-ups.
Life in the Pro's
Following an imposing senior year in college, Soko made the decision that most expected him to and turned pro. After going undrafted in 2014, the next destination was Boulazac Basket in the French Dordoigne region and a rookie season in Europe that opened doors and also, his own eyes.
"Coming to France was tough! Pro B is a very physical league. I've never really struggled physically but the first year in Europe really helps to shape a lot of guys. As a young player, everyone says they want to play for money but now it's not fun and games, you are playing for your livelihood, against grown men with mortgages to pay. It's not like college, where your coaches priority is to care about who you are. Now it's first of all about getting the job done."Ovie Soko
Fast forward to this season and all the lessons, on and off-court are coming to fruition. Yet the motivation to keep improving and the attributes that have been the driving force thus far, remain. Still the same chip on the shoulder, to justify his own, unshakeable self-belief and still the will to prove to a family that supported and sacrificed, every step of the way, they were right to do so.
"I'm always trying to improve. This year was about getting back into the groove," said Soko. "I have a lot to prove to myself. I have been doubted at every single level and I always want to prove that I'm right but it's also my family and people that I care about that drive me. I'm very fortunate to be where I am and I owe it to them to keep pushing myself."
The desire to play the game for others and pay back those that have invested in him, also bears out in Soko's attitude towards playing in Murcia.
"I'm very grateful to the GM (Alejandro Gomez)," said Ovie Soko. "He showed a lot of belief in me to bring me back after my injury last season and the fans have been incredible. The Champions League and the ACB have so much talent across the board in every game, you really need the fans. As a team we are still growing and we definitely haven't found all the answers yet but sometimes when a team finds all the answers from the start, they can hit a wall but we are still growing and that's important."
On the topic of his teammates, Soko appears more than happy to open the book.
"My teammates have been awesome," said Soko. "Brad (Oleson) is the guy. He's played the game at the highest level and is also a great guy. He helps to make the game easy for everyone because 9/10 he makes the right play. You couldn't ask more from a vet. Sadi (Sadiel Rojas) as well, he's the captain and heart of the team. Sadi is all about winning and doing whatever it takes. He's also one of the best rebounders I've ever played with, especially from the wing position. I could go on but I don't want to give away the scout report…Kevin (Tumba), Kloof, Clevin (Hannah), I could go on down the list, we have a ton of very unselfish guys. Coach Navarro is excellent too, he always seems to find a way to make the adjustment."
When you speak to Soko's teammates, the feeling seems to be mutual and that same aggression that once caused trouble, is now channeled and being noticed for the right reasons.
"Ovie is a really high-character guy, a little shy at first but once he gets to know you, he'd do anything for you. When he first arrived, he was a 3 and I was training against him every day. Instantly I loved the physicality, energy and aggression he brought. People say I'm a physical player and I really enjoy the competitiveness he brings every day."
Sadiel Rojas
The positional shift from the 3 to 4 after his injury last season, also seems to be paying off.
"Now that he's recovered from the injury and he's realised that the team has his back and we value the energy he brings, he's moved to the 4 and for the past month or so he's been unstoppable," said Rojas. "Truthfully, he's a great guy and such a hard worker, he deserves everything he's getting."
The opportunity to play for the National Team came late for Ovie Soko. As a young player in North London, he would travel around the city playing in as many different gyms as possible but wasn't really on the radar until later.
"It's always a blessing to represent your National Team. For me, I wasn't really discovered until later. After my freshman year at UAB ,Tim Lewis and the GB U20's was my first experience. I think we finished 6th, which at the time, was the highest any GB team had finished (U20 Div B European Championships)."Ovie Soko
Last summer for Eurobasket, Soko was still recovering from injury. When the call came to represent Great Britain seniors, for the World Cup Qualifiers in November, in front of a home crowd, Soko was healthy, ready and grateful for the opportunity.
"Leicester was the first time I'd played in a competitive game in England and the GB fans were amazing," said Soko. "Being in the UK, there was a lot of Greek fans too. It was jumping in there (the Leicester Arena)."
Soko produced a standout performance vs Greece in that game. With a generation of leaders like Drew Sullivan and Kieran Archara looking to pass the torch and younger generations getting stronger and stronger, the Great Britain senior programme will need leaders and stars playing at the highest levels, to be the new faces of the National Team. The kind of season that Ovie Soko is putting together, he is certainly making a strong case to be the next man up!

I take George out of his cage every so often and he sits on my hand for a while. He always walks back to his cage when he wants to but what I was curious about is that once he enters his cage and sits on the perch he flaps his wings madly for about a minute. I am not sure why he does this but it is always after he has spent time sitting on my hand? Does anyone know why he does this?
When my budgies did this it was when they were clipped and they could not fly about, I believe it is a way they exercise their wings since they don't fly as frequently as unclipped budgies. Merlin and Pretty both stopped this when their flights grew in. Clipped or unclipped it is a form of excerising their wing muscles.
I agree with Elly,. Anytime I see that behaviour it is always done for exercise of the wings. My 'pet' budgie does it sometimes eventhough he gets to fly everyday outside of his cage.
My Charley used to do this and as his wings were clipped I thought it was a source of frustration but now that his flights have grown beautifully and he gets out daily for a fly around, he will still do it when in the cage. I'm also thinking now that it must be a form of exercising his "muscles" as well as just pure excitement!
My newest baby, does it just for fun. He'll often zoom around the room, then land on the cage and hold on for his dear life, while still flapping madly away. he loves it.
I also noticed that Milly loves to do it when she's moulting. It makes the fluff and feathers float around and she loves watching the mayhem that ensues - particuarly me getting grumpy about having to clean up the mess!
Oh . Cado is doing it also but I thought it is a form of excitement . Usually it's after he ate and I am talking to him.

History in Motion: The New Archive (No. 4)
by Henry Wiencek
Traditional maps can portray people and places at certain moments, but they do not capture the dynamism of movement and change over time. And historical texts can describe change over time but lack the visual element that makes it possible to see the multiple dimensions of change at once. However, "The Spatial History Project" is harnessing the power of digital technology to visually animate historical change. A collaboration between historians and computer engineers at Stanford University, this remarkable site hosts maps that actually move, grow and change before your very eyes. You can watch as infectious diseases spread, as railroads expand, as people migrate, and as Nazi concentration camps are built and, as a result, you can gain a better insight on how, and why, it all happened.
One of the site's most compelling projects visualizes prostitution arrests in Philadelphia between 1912 and 1918. By splicing a variety of data surrounding these arrests—where the arrest took place, the individual's racial identity, place of residence, age, among others—we get a deep historical snapshot of who was being arrested for prostitution and where. What emerges is a stark racial divide between the tenderloin district, where "white" arrests largely took place, and the 7th ward, where "black" arrests occurred in greater concentration. Add place of residence data to the map and another fascinating dynamic appears: while "white" offenders largely travel into the tenderloin, most of the "black" and "immigrant" individuals live virtually next door to the brothels. So not only do we see who was arrested for prostitution; we get to see how they got there.
Many of the visualizations specifically challenge traditional narratives of world and US history. "Transcontinental Railroad Development, 1879-1893" allows readers to watch as rail lines creep across the western United States over this 14 year period, connecting major depots such as Chicago and St. Louis with remote frontier lands. But this is not your classic story of westward expansion and economic development. The map integrates population density to demonstrate how sparsely peopled new rail depots were. While rural populations initially grew along new railroad lines, the 1890s depression depleted them back to previous levels, suggesting that railroad companies made critical miscalculations in their rail lines' organization. By introducing some movement into the mapping of America's railroads, the story changes.
"The Spatial History Project" uses digital technology to convey the depth and complexity of history. Its maps depict numerous factors—economics, race, the environment and many others—bisecting and interacting to forge change. And not always the change we assume. This is history as movement, not as a moment.

Losing to Comeback Winning!
His best suited roles here if he stay are super-sub as a goal-scorer, flat-track bully vs the weak teams and park the bus small teams, and good 2nd choice to our preferred CF 1st choice.
He performed that role superbly well in the latter half of season 18/19 - he stepped up, get the goals, good CF cover when Martial and Rashford are out injured, performed once vs PSG, and basically helped us mow over the weak teams, you know the teams that we generally have the worst problems with.
Unfortunately just like RVN, he's not happy with that roles due to his extreme ego thinking he's a top top striker. He's just not suited to the main football we're trying to play, but definitely he does have a place in our squad if he stay, I mean he'll definitely be a better player than Ighalo and possibly even Cavani considering Rom have very good fitness level and no doubt he's a flat-track bully.
Alas, it's pointless keeping an unhappy player, who is also a diva at that. His performances also gets worse the more unhappy he is, it dips towards the closing stage at his last season with us, just as worse it is earlier in that season. The opportunity also presented itself during the time we sold him - we used the funds to get Maguire.
One thing is certain, once we get rid of him, we struggled to score past park the bus teams majority of the games, our total goals is also a problem but we spread that out to three forwards + a CAM and even that is not enough. We didn't have much problem with goals in 17/18. We also clawed hard to get another striker in didn't we. First Ighalo on loan, then he gets worse, so we get Cavani in and hopefully that's enough for now.
With Lukaku's attitude, better strike rate and physical presence, I think he brought more to the team than Martial.
Lukaku had that leader mentality.
Zlatattack said:
Agree entirely. As GB said, if United are glad to be rid and he's happy at Inter, let's all move on. I can't remember this level of bitterness to any ex-player tbh, even Tevez, Heinze, Sanchez etc...

We got a fluid front three and for the first time in a long time we had 2 players break the 20 goal barrier. Both Mason and Martial have had a complicated start to the season but I expect to have them back firing again. I also don't know how Lukaku's form is relevant to us as we had problems at the back. Leicester are at the top of the table having scored 4 more goals than us and we seat at 14th.
Lukaku's attitude and leader mentality?
The guy was a teacher's pet who refused to take any blame himself and constantly blamed others for his own feckups. He's a guy who seems to want to pretend he's a leader but in reality he seems closer to a snake who ultimately pissed everyone off from the players to the fans with his poor attitude. Only Mourinho seemed to still love him and that's because he was Mourinho's yes-man. In his second season he was overweight, terrible fitness and IMO the worst performing starting player in the entire league yet he was coming out telling other players to be a big man like he was.
In the only season that Martial has played as a striker he had a better strike rate than Lukaku.
Where the grass is greener.
what sort of leader goes missing in all the big PL games?
McGrathsipan
"Ole's first real test"
He absolutely didnt have a leader mentality.
But I do agree he would be a better option than luxury Martial
stevoc
And Solskjær has won it!
You've actually misspelled weak there mate, lets remember this is a guy who wanted to leave after his first game.
He was fairly good for the first half of his first season. I'll give him credit there - even in October/November when he wasn't scoring much he was actually playing quite well. His form did drop away in the second half of that season but overall it was an acceptable first season, nothing great but he'd shown enough to hope there was more to come.
Second season he came back and was absolutely and utterly disgraceful. As I've said before (and I'm not someone who goes into hyperbole) I truly think he was the worst regular starter in the entire league. Anybody else playing like him got dropped by their manager until they improved, but Mourinho wouldn't do that. He was a constant starter for the first half a season until Ole took over, not sure why you think he hardly played. He basically played the first 6 months of that season like Pogba started this season, but Pogba had the excuse of no preseason, Covid and injury. Even under Ole where he improved a bit there was a period where he started 10 league games out of 13, and he only scored in 2 of those matches (admittedly he scored doubles in both).
Robbie Boy
So happy he's gone.
With Lukaku's attitude
Was overweight while he was here. Great attitude.
better strike rate and physical presence, I think he brought more to the team than Martial.
Lukaku averaged 176 minutes per goal in all comps while he was here. Last season Martial's record was 155 minutes per goal. But yes, Lukaku is taller and weighs more than Martial, just a shame he can't control a football.
1 goal in 22 games against the top 6. Martial had 4 goals in 8 last season. Rashford 7 in 7. Leader mentality
iHicksy
Contender for worst post of the thread right here.
Martial has scored more goals this season than Lukaku did. He didn't really have as much of a physical presence as he should have, despite having a large frame, he was absolutely terrible at holding up the ball. Which is a big part of the main strikers role. He couldn't bring others into play. His mentality is the most laughable thing. He'd constantly blame others on the pitch for his own awful runs. He was a huge coward and ran as soon as the guy who favoured him left and he wasn't first choice. He absolutely didn't bring more than Martial because his touch, hold up play and ball control were that of a sunday league footballer at times. He alone made it impossible for us to play any kind of intricate passing play up top and our counter attacks suffered because the ball bounced off of him.
Garbage footballer with an even worse mentality, who despite his goal tallies, isn't even good at finishing half the time. The other half he'll score goals and boost that tally. But he'll still manage to be a detriment to the team in a large percentage of those games as well, because the rest of his play is awful.
I don't know how anyone dares mention his physicality and show up the fact they didn't even watch us properly, because he got muscled off the ball by players half his size on the reg.
The biggest myth is that we got better just cause removing him.
In what world are we better now looking at our league table?
Also Bruno did improve us a lot, but we are still worse than our first season with Lukaku.
Not only worse result, but worse football as well.

For me Lukaku is much better than Martial ever will be but selling him made sense at the time.
For me it was one of those things where I was just very indifferent. Either way it would have worked out. We didnt have to sell him but we did. Just the option we chose.
We would have been just as good if not better with Lukaku but it was also worth trying out Martial as a number 9.
Next thing we should also sell Martial.
SalfordRed18 said:
It is true though. Just not a very good leader, but he leads the team way more than Martial. Although not by example well enough in big games.
Were we better last season, finished higher in league, scored more goals and played more entertaining football without Lukaku than we did the season before with Lukaku?
JPRouve
can't stop thinking about balls - NOT deflategate
Half of his shots are probably missed first touches.
So it's true he isn't a leader then.
stevoc said:
I think he leads the forwards and players around him when he plays though.
I don't think he is a dressingroom leader though, but could be wrong about that.
We went from 6th to 3rd, looked way more consistent, played some great football and had 3 players score double figures with two of them scoring 24/25 goals. So i would say we didn't miss Lukaku good a player as he is because he didn't suit the way the team played last season.
Our attack did improve though and i don't think keeping Lukaku and using him off the bench would have catapulted last seasons squad into a title challenge mate.
I think you mean when he's arsed, which let's be honest for United was a rare occurrence indeed.
The point difference was minimal. OGS also didn't use Lukaku ideally in his first season either.
Basically we got worse up to the point when Bruno joined and well we got some players back from injuries too.
My point is just the football without Lukaku has not improved due to missing him. Bruno could have worked well with Lukaku too, but we have never seen that.
He looked totally unfit in his second year for sure. After his injury near the end he also returned in terrible shape.
Ole Ole Ole
Although i don't rate Martial, he's still a better player, a better fit to our team, and with a better attitude and workrate than that Belgium legendary striker.
Juventus fan who used to support United
Lukaku was never MUQ. He was a strong unit whom in the right circumstances would score goals but his first touch was horrible. I doubt that Martial suit us though. He's too inconsistent to lead the line. Once his minimum clause get activated we should be all over Haaland
You can't really compare points tallies across seasons mate, league position is a better indicator and last season we jumped 3 places up the table
I would agree that Solskjaer didn't play to Lukaku's strengths in 18/19 because he obviously y didn't want to play the way a team needs to set-up to get the best out of Lukaku.
Well i disagree mate i think our attacking play improved immensely last season. Now yes that wasn't all because Lukaku left but it was a big part of it. I like Lukaku as a player but he is extremely limited in his style in my opinion, you can play to his strengths as Inter do but that would be detrimental to players like Rashford, Greenwood and Martial if United had tried it.
Personally i don't think we've missed him at all though we did get lucky that lockdown came when it did last season when Rashford was injured. Lukaku is doing really well in Italy but we have to acknowledge that Serie A is not the league it once was. A 35 year old Ashley Young went from being the 3rd choice RB at United to the first choice left winger at the 2nd best team in Italy last season which says a lot.
Gonçalo Motta
I honestly don't get how he scores so many goals. He's not particularly good at anything and he's really bad at a lot of things.
If you don't know anything about him and watch him play, you would assume he is some amateur level player playing in the lower leagues. For me, it's mind-boggling how he had such a decent career so far while scoring a decent amount of goals and while failing to do basic stuff.
Every year I'm more convinced that he made a deal with the devil.
Born2Lose
"The players, then, talk to each other. Lukaku was tired of United because Pogba and Martial were struggling to pass him the ball, a picture of a dressing room divided in groups. When Sánchez and Young asked him before signing how things were at Inter, the first answer was 'really good, there are no clans'. Times have really changed.


Cleveland, OH—High school sophomore, Josh Milgram, drank three Mad Dog 20/20s during a class field trip and decided he wanted to walk along the railing at the Cleveland Zoo's seal enclosure. Within a few yards he fell face-first onto some rocks, directly amongst a family of ravenous seals. Mr. Milgram brandished his corn dog and began making what witnesses claim was a poor attempt at a light-saber sound effect. As the youngster started swinging his corn-dog saber the seals became restless and started barking their protests. This is when zoo officials acted and the seals were all gunned down in a hail of bullets.
