Gordon Ramsay, the British celebrity chef known for the passionate and mean way he tears apart subpar food, actually cried when his New York restaurant The London lost its prestigious two Michelin Stars last year, he told the Daily Mail.
When your restaurant is awarded a Michelin Star, it is a sign that you've succeeded at the highest level as a chef. Two Stars and your restaurant is excellent. Three Stars and your restaurant is worth traveling to.
And it's actually for that last reason, traveling, that the Michelin brothers Ándre and Édouard started the Michelin Guide in 1900. The French entrepreneurs had started a tire company 11 years earlier, and they decided that a ratings guide for hotels and restaurants would compel the limited number of drivers to use up their tires and buy more.
Yes, the Michelin that makes or breaks fine dining establishments around the world is the same Michelin that manufactures tires.
"From an image standpoint, it certainly has helped as a halo for a tire brand. Because tires, of course, aren't the sexiest product," Tony Fouladpour, Michelin North America's director of corporate public relations, tells Business Insider.
"The image of Michelin is that of a premium, high-quality brand. And some say that the Michelin Guide is the Bible of all dining guides," he says.
Back when the Michelin brothers decided to start the guide at the turn of the 20th century, there were only around 2,200 cars in France, the government had yet to establish an extensive road system, and gasoline had to be purchased at select pharmacies.
The Michelins were so determined to turn vehicles from a novelty that took drivers to a Sunday picnic to a viable mode of transportation over long distances.
They gave out guides that cataloged hotels, mechanics, and gasoline vendors throughout France. They even went as far as to put up homemade road signs to assist travelers, according to Michelin.
As the tire company grew, so did their guide. They launched country-specific editions throughout Europe that became popular enough to compel the brothers to start charging for the booklets in 1920.
In 1926, the guide expanded to the industry that made it famous — fine dining. Five years later, the three-star system was introduced.
The Michelin Guide, which is now in 24 countries across four continents and will debut in Brazil next year, is revered mostly for its critics, which Michelin calls "inspectors."
The inspectors are anonymous and barred from speaking to journalists. They all have an extensive background in the culinary arts, and many are former chefs, Fouladpour says. They all must pass official Michelin Guide training in France.
Unlike many food critics, they do not take notes while eating, and will often visit a restaurant multiple times unaccompanied before reaching a conclusion.
Michelin's high profile, especially in Europe, has come with some controversy, most notably when former French inspector Pascal Rémy released the book "L'Inspecteur se Met à Table" ("The Inspector Sits at the Table") in 2004. The tell-all portrays the job as lonely, underpaid, and increasingly lax in its standards. Michelin has dismissed the accusations but says plainly that the job of anonymously reviewing restaurants is not as glorious as some may think.
It has also been accused of favoring French institutions. But Michael Ellis, the international director of the guide, says that all it takes is a look at the latest star selections to see that the accusation is stale.
The Michelin Guide represents a minute fraction of a massive company, Fouladpour says, and rather than being profitable, it is mostly a brand-building tool and a way to build on tradition rooted in the company's founders.
The guide has been in the US for a decade now, beginning in New York City and then expanding to Chicago and San Francisco.
Fouladpour tells us that Michelin is aware that even though the guide is gaining recognition in the US, many do not make the connection between it and the tire company.
"We can't spend millions on a campaign telling people, 'Hey, we're the same company!'" Fouladpour says, laughing. "But it's nice when people make the connection. It's only been 10 years [in America]. Let's see what happens after 10 more."

I recently delivered a presentation on Session Based Test Management to the Auckland Test Professionals Network. It was my first presentation. It was fun and I really enjoyed being there.
For me though, the enjoyment factor came afterwards in talking and discussing software testing with other testers.
There were some testers that had come to learn something. Not everyone did but I'm sure most took away at least one idea or thought. And my thought is this – why don't we (software testers in New Zealand) actually share our knowledge a lot more?
Some of us blog, a number attend SIGIST meetings, conferences etc but we then either sit on that knowledge or we're not sure how to share it. IF we grow our community, our discipline then we all benefit!
I was talking to Farid Vaswani and John Lockhart amongst other wonderful testers there. They were very willing to share their own thoughts and ideas on testing and we had a great discussion and explored multiple testing ideas.
Which created a second thought – since we geographically limited,and we are not able to mentor or share and discuss ideas easily in a physical sense, there are a myriad of ways to achieve this online. So i created a Google group called Software Testers New Zealand. And while it's aiming for a New Zealand flavour, it is in no way limited by country. So if you are outside of New Zealand and wish to become part of this growing community, feel free to join and share your ideas and thoughts!
By doing so, lets mentor each other and take the best from each other.
I strongly agree that as testers we don't know how to share what we know and benefit fellow testers and the testing craft that we are part of. Blogging, Peer Testing groups, Testing Conferences, Testing Forums like TestRepublic, Software Testing Club are a few ways to get in touch with other testers to share what we know and learn what we don't know.
I respect your thought about improving the testing discipline.
P.S. Suggest we all tweet it etc and get the word out – maybe you can convince softed to let their mailing list know?
Brilliant Brain Brian, Let's all share our Software Testing experiences.
Hey, Brian, you had a great presentation on that day. Guess what, it was my first time attending such testing related event in New Zealand. Keep up the great work!


Israel never should have left Gaza the way that Ariel Sharon abruptly and foolishly did. He was too full of himself — in more ways than one — and became persuaded by hubris that he alone had the vision. Certainly no one in Israel seriously wanted Gaza, but Ehud Barak already had shown how myopic it would be to walk away unilaterally from a border region when he handed Southern Lebanon effectively to Hezbollah. So, to prove Einstein's meme about insanity, Sharon did the exact same idiotic thing, and he left Israel with a royal mess on both sides.
Stop. Think. (That puts you ahead of Bette Midler.) Ask: What exactly is going on at Israel's Gaza border?
Uh, what exactly is Israel supposed to do? Does it not make sense for Israel to shoot them? Really?
2. Call the cops at 9-1-1.
3. Start shooting at the crowd till the cops arrive.
That's what Israel did. They chose not to kill themselves. So they got their cops, and they started shooting.
What would Erdogan do if 40,000 Kurds tried to break into Turkey and destroy Turkish sovereignty? What would Putin do if 40,000 people tried to break into the — well, come to think of it, no one ever tries to break into the Soviet Union or whatever nickname it goes by.
What would America do if 40,000 M13 gang members tried to break down the southern border and enter en masse?
You shoot them. You absolutely shoot them.
Look, if one or two people accidentally cross the border, so that's a thing that happens. People make mistakes. Remember that Marine with the gun in his car who accidentally crossed into Mexico? And there was this time that our family were touring in southern New Mexico, and one of my daughters went strolling with another family member to check something out and inadvertently crossed the border into Mexico, which set off a classic comedy of errors because they did not have I.D. with them or whatever. And then they had to convince the Border Police that they were not Mexicans nor ISIS but two ambling, rambling, scrambling tourists who suddenly noticed that the signs suddenly stopped being in English and that street urchins were asking them for coins.
But when all 40,000 of your daughters announce that they all are converging with knives and rocks and tires on fire and will destroy your country, violate its borders, tear down its wall —honestly, the only thing you do is you shoot them. I truly cannot understand what the issue is. You shoot them. Of course you shoot them. What country would not shoot them?
Germany would not shoot them? China would not shoot them? England never shot anyone Irish? Or somewhere else in their empire from India to the Falklands?
But why couldn't Israel just lob tear gas? You lob tear gas to break up a violent demonstration at Berkeley when dear Ben Shapiro comes to tell them that facts do not care about their feelings, or when someone in San Francisco spots a person using plastic straw to drink California-cancer Prop 65-certified coffee in a plastic bag. You drop leaflets to warn people who can read or who are curious to see pictures. But when 40,000 people gather together on your country's Independence Day, declare that your Independence Day is their Catastrophe Day and that they now are going to straighten out the historical disappointment by seizing your country — why, of course: You just shoot them.
To learn Hebrew at discounted language classes?
To attend a Talmud class at a yeshiva?
To help nine other Jewish guys assemble a minyan (prayer quorum) to recite a Psalm of David?
To ask Bibi to share some of those cigars and champagne?
To see whether Jared Kushner came to Israel this time with a yarmulka in his pocket?
Come on. They came with violence. They came to destroy Israel. More than ninety percent of those killed now have been identified as known Hamas leaders, agitators, members or as affiliates of Islamic Jihad. They fly these kites that they set on fire, hoping to float them over the fence and start fires in Israeli farms across the border.
You shoot them. Of course you shoot them. Every country shoots them. And you shoot until they recognize that Israel is a country, not a kosher deli, and it has laws and borders and an army. And no one else does this to any other country, and no other country deals with this nonsense. No one else charges a border like this, except as part of a war, like Nazis marching into Stalinist Russia or Russians marching into Nazi Germany or France and England and Germany killing each other during World War I and World War II or France and England killing each other during all those wars in the Middle Ages that make for such good Shakespeare plays and soliloquies. Israel is not UC Berkeley or some effete dump hole like Swarthmore College, where undergraduate Jew-haters on campus gather to destroy the Jewish People and terminate the State of Israel by announcing that they are boycotting Sabra Hummus until the end of Spring Term finals (except when they need midnight snacks while studying and fear eating simple carbohydrates or food that is not gluten-free).
Hamas has been given so many hundreds of millions from the suckers and chumps in Europe and elsewhere, not to mention via the Obama-Kerry Cash Payola to Iran. They use the money for cement and steel to build underground murder tunnels instead of building hospitals, schools, apartment buildings. They put it into war, not peace. So the locals have nothing, are miserable, jealously see Jews across the border living like real people do in the world where people spend money on stuff like food and clothes and kids' education instead of murder tunnels. And they want in.
Thank G-d they are not on our border. Imagine if they saw how we live in America, and if we had to deal with Hamas and Islamic Jihad as the governments on our borders. That would be some NAFTA to renegotiate.
But, really, there is only one way that any country would deal intelligently with such a thing: You shoot them. Otherwise, if you do it like Bette Midler and John Kerry and Natalie Portman, and you bring people to sing "You've Got a Friend" and "Hello, Dolly!" soon you end up with a hundred thousand trying to break in, then a million, then two million people determined to destroy your country.
So let the Israelis go back to celebrating the next new embassy in Jerusalem — now it is Guatemala— with Honduras and Paraguay to come. And maybe thereafter Romania and the Czech Republic. And thank Trump. For moving the embassy that Clinton said he would move but lied. And Bush lied. And Obama lied.
And thank Trump for killing the Iran Deal, which Obama never dared to present to the United States Senate for proper treaty ratification, an embarrassment negotiated by amateurs who allowed the Mullahs to continue building and augmenting their ballistic missiles and to increase their spreading murder throughout the world unchecked and with impunity. And thank Trump maybe for getting the North Korean Doughboy off the nuclear warpath, which is good for Samsung and Kia, and for people who buy their products, and for Japan and for Hawaii, and maybe also takes a critical nuclear player out of Iran's orbit. And, while at it, thank Trump for tax cuts and for nipping some of Obamacare out and for getting tough on trade and for bringing in Mike Pompeo to be Secretary of State and John Bolton to be National Security Advisor. And for Justice Gorsuch and for the federal appellate judges and district judges he has named.
One begins to realize that Trump is not suffering from dementia but is crazy like a fox. Dementia, rather, is a condition more closely associated with declaring Natalie Portman the Nobel Laureate of the Jewish People because she happened to be born in Israel and did not leave until she was three years old, then went on to marry some French ballet dancer. Now, if Einstein were alive today, even his mind would not be able to fathom that level of madness in trying to redefine insanity.
One regrets that President Trump does not have more consistent class and character on the personal level because, if he did, he really would be en route to a spot on Mount Rushmore. Instead, he is Trump. So we take the bitter with the tweet, and we learn to love him for his flaws. Because the guy keeps his promises with remarkable consistency, still wants to build the wall — and we all just know he is going to get some or most of it done if he has to build it himself — and has not stopped trying to drain the swamp. To that, he now has a cherished place in Jewish history among a people who not only remember every Lord Balfour and Harry Truman but even remember people like Kings Cyrus and Darius of Biblical times who simply gave the Jews a break. For that, he will be remembered by Christians of faith, by Jews of faith.
And how fortunate that it is not Hillary and her dregs now pontificating from the White House, but instead a great President who named a great United Nations ambassador, Nikki Haley, to deliver the message that Israel is in the right. And finally it is time to look Erdogan in the eye, to recognize publicly and formally the Turkish genocide of Armenians, the brutal and vicious historic Turkish pox that was the Armenian Holocaust of 1915.

Are complex application environments holding you back?
Is the maintenance of mature systems becoming ever more complicated?
Are new functions now almost impossible?
We will make your software expandable and fit for the future again!
In many businesses there are applications and systems, the smooth operation of which is essential to success. Not infrequently such systems contain a company's assembled knowledge or map its core working processes. A valuable legacy asset, therefore.
Often such systems have also grown constantly over the years and become ever more complex in the process. In many cases, due to economic considerations, quick extensions to functionality may also have had to be built in, without being able to give any time to architecture modifications preserving long-term value.
A system's success can thus also become a straitjacket: new extensions are hardly possible any more, as the system's mature complexity either makes them very expensive or the risk of harming existing functions in the process has become to great. Only in the most rare of cases is development of a completely new system an option.
Software re-engineering gives you back the freedom to expand your systems. We analyze, evaluate and restructure your applications and show you how architectures can be improved. We will perform architecture adaptations and system modifications for you, give you confidence through in-depth testing and open up new possibilities for integration.
...if you want to go new ways with your existing application environment. We have many years of experience both in the development of complex, business-critical systems and with current and pioneering technologies.

Our Iowa Heritage: The Observatory.
Observatory #2: The University's Eye to the Sky.
During the Civil War years, Governor Samuel Kirkwood believed there was a great need for our State University to have an astronomical observatory. The first one was built in 1874, a small brick building located at the north end of Clinton Street (where the President's Home now stands). In 1891, a second observatory was erected on the Red Brick campus, located nearer the newly-built Science Hall, directly west of where the Dental Building would be placed in 1894. The building remained there until 1923, when brought down to make room for the new University (Jessup) Hall.
The Red Brick Campus: Building #9 – 1891 – 1923.
Location: Built in 1891, the University's second observatory was located on the far north side of University Square, directly west of where the Dental Building would be constructed in 1894.
Governor Kirkwood Keeping Up With the Big Boys of Michigan.
Jane and Samuel Kirkwood – Governor of Iowa 1860-1864, 1876-1877. Click here to read more about Governor Kirkwood…
In the early 1860's, in the midst of the great Civil War, Governor Samuel Kirkwood was looking far beyond the ravages of war and seeing a State University that would measure up with the best colleges back east. In his Second Biennial Address to State of Iowa legislators gathered in Des Moines, Kirkwood dreamed about this fledgling school back in Iowa City and what it could actually become. In that address he specifically requested funding for a chemical laboratory, additional lecture rooms that would host studies in philosophy, and an astronomical observatory. In his own words…
There are no suitable rooms for the Chemical Laboratory . . . This, to our agricultural State, is, perhaps the most important department of our University. Chemistry is becoming daily a more liberal contributor to agricultural knowledge and success; and the advancement of chemical science in our State, through the State University, should be especially encouraged . . . Our University will not be complete until it shall have an Astronomical Observatory connected with it. This has already become a prominent feature of the University of Michigan, and the demands of our more western location will soon require it of us. A building may be erected to answer all these purposes at much less cost than to provide for them separately.
Acting on Governor Kirkwood's proposal, the Board recommended that the Legislature make an appropriation of up to $25,000 for the erection of such a building – on the University Square.
North Hall
That building, North Hall, opened in 1865, but sadly, Kirkwood's hope of it including a tower for an observatory was determined, by the architects, to not be feasible. In the meantime, back in Iowa City, Professor Gustavus Hinrichs took it upon himself to construct a small observation point at 9 East Market Street, near the intersection with what had been North Capitol Street. But Hinrich's site had no telescope!
Finally, in 1874, the Board approved $4,600 for the erection of a separate observatory, a small brick building constructed at the north end of Clinton Street, the spot now occupied by the President's Home (1906). Katherine Bates, author of an insightful look at the earliest facilities of the University, writes in 1949 about the beginnings of this first observatory…
The Board requested Professor Leonard to submit plans for the observatory and lecture rooms to the architect, R. S. Finkbine, and to obtain an estimate of the cost of erecting such a building:
"Of all these really pressing wants, the physical observatory is the most needful to the University, and when properly constructed and managed will prove the most useful to the State at large; at the same time it can be erected in a substantial manner and of sufficient dimensions for a comparatively small amount. For these reasons I would most earnestly urge the immediate construction of such an observatory. That a physical observatory is required at a University is apparent; for physics . . . has always constituted an essential part in the curriculum of every University, and it is manifestly impossible to practically instruct in this science without giving the students an opportunity to observe the facts of nature in regard to light, heat, electricity and magnetism . . . In the library of this observatory a complete record of all meteorological observations made in the State, should be kept, and with the standard instruments of this observatory all meteorological instruments used throughout Iowa should be carefully compared, so that the results obtained in our State will be truly reliable, and furnish data by which to determine the effect of human actions on the climate . . . That the sum required for this observatory is not excessive is apparent from the estimates for the same reaching $6500 only. The detailed drawings of the physical observatory on which this estimate is based, represent a tower, 21 feet square, four stories high, each of 15 feet, with readily accessible, nearly flat roof. Each story of the building to be divided by a north and south wall into a (west) staircase, six feet wide, and an (east) room, 14 by 21 feet. The ground floor to be used as magnetic observatory; the first story or optical observatory and laboratory; the second story for the working of the self registering instruments or meteorography and the keeping of the record of observations, the third story for the meteorological observatory proper, while finally on the roof are exposed the wind vane, anemometer, rain and snow gauges, radiation thermometers, and kindred instruments."
From an 1899 album belonging to a Pharmacy graduate, John M. Lindley (class of 1889, state senator 1915-19) bears the following inscription: "Old Observatory at head of Clinton Street, over-looking the Iowa River. Here we looked thro the telescope at the rings of Saturn."
The Board approved Professor Leonard's lengthy proposal on June 29, 1874, and within two weeks, work was already in progress. Bates continues…
The observatory was (given) charge (to) Mr. I. D. Wolfe, a graduate of the science and engineering departments of the University. The building was open for student inspection every Saturday night, and Mr. Wolfe served as guide, explaining the intricacies of the observatory instruments and answering any questions the students might raise.
In June of 1874, The University Reporter printed the following story…
"The foundations of the Astronomical Observatory will soon be laid. Work has already been commenced and ere many moons the students of the Iowa State University will view the starry dome through one of the finest telescopes, from one of the best observatories in the North West. Prof. Leonard is superintending the work. He is enthusiastic to have it finished in time to see the next if not the present comet."
The Great Comet of 1874 from Paris. Historical illustration of the public observing Coggia's Comet (C/1874 H1) from Paris, France. This comet was discovered on 17 April 1874 by French astronomer Jerome Eugene Coggia. It became visible to the naked eye in June, with a large and bright tail. It reached perihelion on 9 July. It had faded from view in the northern hemisphere by 23 July, with the final observation made in October from Argentina.
1891 – Moving Closer to The Red Brick Campus.
By 1891, the University decided to bring everything closer to the Red Brick campus, so with the new Science Building (Calvin Hall) nearby, construction began on a new observatory located directly on University Square, replacing the older one on Clinton Street.
Circa 1905 – the First Observatory on Clinton St. had fallen into dis-repair and was used as the carpenters' shop before being torn down prior to the President's Home being constructed in 1909.
Circa 1891 – the Second Observatory – looking northeast prior to Science Hall (Calvin Hall) being relocated across Jefferson St (1905) and prior to Dental Building being constructed (1894).
Circa 1910 – Looking south from Science Hall over University Square (The west wing of the Dental Building is on the left).
Circa 1910 – Looking north after Science Hall (Calvin Hall) had been relocated (1905).
This small observatory, along with the even smaller Weights & Measures building, located directly west of North Hall, provided homes for intricate parts of the science curriculum that was quickly developing at S.U.I.
So. . . What Stands on this Spot Today?
When President George MacLean rolled out his "New University" plan at the turn of the century, a big part of that strategy meant removing many of the older (and smaller) buildings surrounding Old Capitol, replacing them with four stately structures that made the architectural statement that Iowa was moving into the new century with eyes wide open.
In the early1920's, a renovation of Old Capitol began, opening up a new entry way on the west side of the building and adding the stately portico and columns we see today. Landscaping the west portion of University Square was a huge priority and to make room for the fifth building in the eventual Pentacrest (Jessup Hall), the Observatory was removed. University Hall, as it was called then, was completed by 1924 and remains there today.
One unconfirmed report says that the Observatory was partially knocked off its foundation by a runaway truck in 1916, but SUI campus maps show the building still in use into 1923.
In an Old Gold article by David McCartney, we find more details about how the study of astronomy that President Kirkwood was so passionate about in the 1860's not only didn't die when the Observatory was demolished in 1923, but actually excelled…
For the (second) time, however, the university's observatory was marked for demolition and assigned a new home. When the new Physics Building (now MacLean Hall) was completed about 1910, an observatory dome was eventually placed atop it, where it remained until about 1965, when an observatory was constructed near Hills, south of Iowa City.

The opening of Van Allen Hall in the 1960s ensured additional sky-watching opportunities from campus.
Dr. James Van Allen – Iowa's Space Pioneer – Time Magazine May 4, 1959. Click here to read more.
The recent revamping (2014) of the UI Department of Physics and Astronomy's observatory includes the installation of a new dome and telescope atop Van Allen Hall, once again allowing students to view the night sky from downtown Iowa City. A grant from the Roy J. Carver Trust made the project possible. No longer do students have to travel to the Palisades-Dows Observatory near Mount Vernon or rely upon a remote-controlled telescope in Arizona. Old Gold, who glances upward occasionally, is excited about the prospect of public viewings in the future.
So, here's to the Red-Brick campus' Observatory . . . gone, but never forgotten.

Find: Now less than an arm's length away: Wristwatches That Help Screen Your Messages, and More
I've been trying out some of the new watches that display caller IDs, text messages, Twitter and news feeds, and the weather, too — all beamed from a nearby companion smartphone.
The watches are intended for those times when it is inconvenient to pull a smartphone out of a backpack or a pocket to check messages. Instead, you just check your quietly vibrating wristwatch.
So if you're riding your bike when your boss sends a text, or carrying a big bag of groceries when your mother-in-law fires off an e-mail, the snippet displayed on the watch face might help you decide whether to pay attention.
Some of these new watches are already on the market; others are in prototype. Sony's SmartWatch, which sells for $149.99 at Sony stores and at the company Web site, is optimized to work with Sony's Xperia line of phones, said Stephen Sneeden, the United States product marketing manager for Sony Mobile. But it is also compatible with most Android-based phones running version 2.1 and above, he said. A list of smartphone models that work with the watch will be posted at the Web site.
THE SmartWatch has a sleek color touch screen that works by way of swipes, taps and the occasional two-fingered pinch. There is only one actual button — the on/off one tucked discreetly into the side. A rubbery black band comes with the watch; bands in five other shades cost $19.99 each.
The Sony watch has its limitations. If you've wandered off on an errand and left your smartphone behind, don't expect the phone to relay messages to your wrist from afar. The range for Bluetooth wireless communication between watch and phone is about 30 feet, Mr. Sneeden said.
The touch screen has deep, attractive colors indoors but fades in direct sunlight. The watch has no voice capabilities built into it, and you cannot type replies on it, though you can send canned, prewritten responses like "Busy now." Gmail is the main e-mail program it uses; attachments can't be read.
But you may find that the watch has advantages, too. Vibrations on your wrist to notify you of messages are far harder to miss than fainter ones coming from a phone stashed in a coat pocket. And there are many times — say, when you're sitting in a meeting, supposedly paying attention — when the wrist is a discreet spot to check Facebook updates along with the time.
The SmartWatch requires two apps for setup — LiveWare Manager and SmartWatch — both free on Google Play. Most Xperia phones have LiveWare preloaded, Mr. Sneeden said.
Another Android-based smart watch, the WIMM One, was created primarily for developers who will incorporate it into mobile electronic products, said Tim Twerdahl, vice president for product marketing at WIMM Labs in Los Altos, Calif. The watch is also available on Amazon for $199.
The WIMM One, a bit chunkier than the Sony SmartWatch, has a lot of built-in processing power, and two wireless communication modes — Bluetooth and Wi-Fi — so that it can work through a home network.
"It will sync via Wi-Fi to your home office network and run all the apps without being paired to a phone," Mr. Twerdahl said. This allows a user to read news feeds and to check messages on the watch face even if the phone isn't near.
The watch has a touch screen with two display modes. A power-saving black-and-white display turns the backlight off and uses ambient light to illuminate the screen. But holding a finger down on the watch face for a second brings a full-color screen to life.
WIMM One typically lasts about 30 hours on a single charge, Mr. Twerdahl said.
The watch comes preloaded with six apps. Other apps, all free, are at the WIMM Micro App Store Beta.
More smart watches are on the way, including the Pebble, now in prototype, which will display information from Android phones and iPhones. It has a black-and-white e-paper display and buttons, rather than a touch screen.
Many apps for the new watches can help owners with a range of practical tasks. One coming app for WINN One, Mr. Twerdahl said, will let a user draw a finger forward or back across the watch to change slides during a presentation.
Another app may be handy in shopping. With a few swipes," he said, "you can check your credit card balance" to see if you are exceeding your limit.

Но почта все равно приходит в спам. Люди советуют добавить что-то в Header или настроить SMTP, но все они пишут про библиотеку "PHPMailer". . Пытаюсь найти варианты решения без использования той библиотеки.
Что мне нужно настроить в header (если надо)?
Как мне добавить SMTP (если требуется).
читал, что в smtp надо писать, например:

*

*smtp.google.com

*port: 25, 465, or 587

The Sex Expert webinar series February 9, 2018, 12 noon (PST)
Interactive webinar with Vanessa Carlisle, PhD on Understanding Sex Work and Human Trafficking
While the fight to end human trafficking may seem like an obvious goal, many people who work in the erotic industries have been harmed by so-called "rescue" campaigns. Globally, a movement to decriminalize the sex industry has taken hold, while in the United States sex workers still struggle for basic human rights. Join the conversation about how we got here, where we need to go, and gain critical tools for understanding the differences between sex work and human trafficking.
Vanessa Carlisle is a queer femme author, activist, speaker, radio host and performer. She is a sex workers' rights advocate with SWOP-LA, and has been working in the sex industries for eighteen years. She earned her PhD in Creative Writing, Literature and Gender Studies from the University of Southern California. She co-teaches the Sensuality Wellness Workshop and other workshops focused on trauma recovery, sexual health, sexual communication, and self care for social justice warriors.

Biography for Lieutenant JG H'retor, son of Gi'ral, a Male Klingon aged 28
Eyes : Brown Weight : 268 IBS
Brown-redd
H'retor has the same physical and biological built as most Klingon. Also, when in starfleet uniform, H'retor always wear his house insignia. (Also see picture)
Father : Gi�ral son of Kohtar His father, Gi�ral, was a warrior who fought many glorious battles. He was on the IKS Rho'ato and participated in two of the most glorious battles : the Battle of Almathia and the Battle of Golaris, and fought in many more battle during the Klingon-Cardassian war. When the Romulan allied with the Cardassia, Gi�ral was called back to the Klingon Empire to protect the border from Romulan. He was made captain of the IKS SuvwL�Vaj, a Vorcha-class ship and was assigned to a defensive fleet protecting the Klingon Empire from Romulan attack. He was still in command of the IKS SuvwL�Vaj When the Dominion War started, and fought many more glorious battles. In 2405, his ship, commanded by Commander Kurge, helped the 52th fleet during his war against Doenitz, most notably at the battle of Valhalla and of sector 001. The ship was however severely damaged in the latter and would have been destroyed if it wasn�t the effort of the USS Hades. After the war, he was given a new ship: the IKS H�atoria, another Vorcha-class ship. Now, Gi�ral is Commodore/Amiral and command a task force stationed on H�atoria. He is still in command of the IKS H�atoria. Gi�ral has great respect for the Federation and more especially, the 52nd fleet. Before the Klingon civil war, he was helped many times by the Federation. In 2404, he was among the Klingon who contracted the Halla virus, but thanks to a Federation medical researcher, he was cured, him and his son. Remembering that it was the Federation who saved his life, when the Federation civil war started, Gi�ral offered to help the Federation and join the Task Force 19. During the war, he fought many battles with the Federation in their civil war. He fought along the Spectre during the battle of Vahlalla and along the USS Hades, USS Boudicca, etc. during the battle of sector 001. This was during that battle that the crew of the IKS SuvwL�Vaj was saved when the USS Hades, despite having to expose itself to enemy fires, destroyed the ship that would have given the final blow to an already crippled ship. Being saved two times by the Federation and having fight along with them, Gi�ral owed a great deal of honor and respect to the Federation. To pay his �honor debt�, Gi�ral sent his first son, H�retor, to join the Federation. House of Moroth The House of Moroth is a prestigious house who mostly gain its honor during the Klingon-Cardassian war. The leader of the house, Moroth, was the leader of one of the three task forces send to invade the Cardassian and was successful at conquering the territory giving access to Cardassia. Controlling the upper side of the Klingon Empire, the House of Moroth preferred to defend the Klingon Empire from a potential Romulan Invasion during the Klingon Civil War, sacrificing the chance of taking power of the council for the sake of the Empire. Also, because of it�s proximity with the Federation, the House of Moroth always had good relations with them, and it is for that reason that the house decided to help the 52th fleet during the Federation Civil War. Mother : Larissa, daughter of N�rogh The N�rogh family was not a warrior family. Most of the family preferred administrative duty. Larissa was travelling the galaxy for economic relations, seeking weapons and raw resources for generation for the Klingon Empire. H�retor brother and sister H�retor has one brother and one sister. Her sister, Kayrissa, was born in 2388 and serve now on the IKS K�rotah. His brother, H�raless, serve on the H�atoria on his father ship.
H�retor is born in 2386 on H�atoria. Trained in the Warrior way by his father, at 9 years old, he was already skilled with a blade, and succeeded the Klingon rite of Ascension at the age of 15. Once he become an adult, H�retor improved his knowledge of flight control and operation spending one more year at the academy after his rite of Ascension. At 16, he was assigned to IKS Katahtor (2402), a Bird of Prey, as an operation officer. In 2405, when the Federation Civil War broke up and his father was given the command of the SuvwL�Vaj, he was assigned there as a flight control officer and served on his father ship for three years. During the last assault, the SuvwL�Vaj was heavily damaged and to protect his son from death, Gi�ral beamed H�retor on Captain Wagner ship, the IKS B�Quaj�ha. After the war, he remained on Wagner ship. He was promoted to Lieutenant and reassigned as flight control officer chief. Two times during the civil war, his father life was saved by Federation, and to pay back in honor the federation, Gi�ral convinced H�retor to join the federation, which he did in 2412. Honor being everything for Klingon, H�retor always respected and honoured his father and accepted to join the federation. However, despite serving three years on a Klingon ship commanded by a human, Captain Wagner, and after two years on a Federation ship, H�retor doesn�t have as much respect for human than his father did. He respected them for having saved him twice, and probably respect them way more than most Klingon, but it was nothing compare to his father admiration for humans. For H�retor, they were saved while fighting to protect the Federation from itself. It was the Federation that was in debt of the Klingon, not the other way around. Or, at most, they were even.
2395-2402 : Attended a Klingon Military Academy 2400-2402 : Specialized in engineering and piloting at the KMA 2402-2405 : Served on the IKS Katahtor (Operations) 2405-2407: Served on the IKS SuvwL�Vaj (Flight Control) 2407-2410: Served on the IKS B�Quaj�ha (Flight Control Chief) 2410-2411: Spent one year adapting to Federation
2412-2414: Served on the USS Kronos (Operation Officer) 2414 to now : Assigned on the USS Hades (Chief of Operations)
Had several warriors injuries that have healed naturally. H�retor proudly bear the marks of those combats.
H�retor is a skilful pilots and an efficient operation officer, thanks to his training at a Klingon military academy for nearly 7 years. He is a very good warrior, masterizing several Klingon blades and weapons as well as hand-to-hand combat. He has also a lot of experiences on the field, having already 11 years of experiences. Because the Klingon school accentuate the warrior training over the �general skill training�, H�retor is a very good warrior, able to fight and survive harsh conditions. However, compare to his new Federation crewmates, he definitively lack general cultures, and his academic training in engineering is considered by Federation standard to be lacking. Nevertheless, for a new Starfleet officer, he has already a lot of experiences.
H�retor appreciate a fight in the holodeck, Klingon Opera and poesy, blood wine, martial arts� Has also developed a little interest in human history, more notably Roman History. As alcoholic breverages are not allowed on duty, H�retor sometimes enjoy Vulcan and Klingon teas, as well as Millipede and Kava Juices. But if you ask him, that�s a huge sacrifice to make for his father honor.
H'retor refused to attend Starfleet Academy when he joined the Federation, arguing he had already a military formation, and rather joined directly their rank. Therefore, he is not officially considered a commissioned officer. Nevertheless, Captain Straton decided to give him the provisionnal rank of Lieutenant (J.G.).

Belsk Duży – wieś w Polsce położona w województwie mazowieckim, w powiecie grójeckim, w gminie Belsk Duży.

W latach 1954–1972 wieś należała i była siedzibą władz gromady Belsk Duży. W latach 1975–1998 miejscowość administracyjnie należała do województwa radomskiego. W latach 1918–1939 i 1945–1975 Belsk Duży należał do województwa warszawskiego. W czasie Królestwa Kongresowego Belsk Duży należał do obwodu warszawskiego,  powiatu czerskiego. Przed 1795 rokiem Belsk Duży należał do województwa mazowieckiego.

Miejscowość jest siedzibą gminy Belsk Duży oraz parafii pod wezwaniem Świętej Trójcy, należącej do dekanatu grójeckiego, archidiecezji warszawskiej. Przez miejscowość przepływa rzeczka Kraska, dopływ Jeziorki.

Historia
Pierwsza wzmianka o Belsku pochodzi z roku 1451, w Księdze poborów Ziemi Czerskiej w latach 1540–1564 pojawia się nazwa Belsko Czarne. Nazwa miała pochodzić od nazwy rośliny lub trawy, najprawdopodobniej bylicy pospolitej zwanej "Czarne Bylsko" lub "Czarne Belsko", choć według innych źródeł "czarne" pochodzi od gleby, czarnej ziemi. Potem nazwa wsi zmieniona na Belsko,Belsk i Belsk Duży. W 1779 roku powstaje parafia rzymskokatolicka z siedzibą w Belsku Dużym, która liczy 1698 dusz i należy do dekanatu grójeckiego. W zapisach z 1827 r. można się dowiedzieć, że Belsk Duży liczy 27 domów i 234 mieszkańców. W 1863 najprawdopodobniej Belsk zyskał status gminy, który utrzymał do dnia dzisiejszego z przerwą na lata 1953–1973, gdy Belsk Duży był gromadą.

W czasie kampanii wrześniowej stacjonowała tu 16 Eskadra Towarzysząca.

Podczas II wojny światowej, w latach 1942–1943 w Belsku miały miejsce akcje dywersyjne Gwardii Ludowej.

Zabytki
We wsi znajdują się: kościół klasycystyczny z lat 1776–1779 fundacji Bazylego Walickiego projektu Hilarego Szpilowskiego, dawna plebania z przełomu XVIII/XIX wieku, klasycystyczny budynek dawnej poczty z pocz. XIX wieku, na cmentarzu kaplica i katakumby z 1822 roku. Przy drodze do Grójca grób powstańców styczniowych poległych 16 lutego 1864 roku.

Nauka
Z instytucji edukacyjnych w Belsku Dużym jest szkoła podstawowa i gimnazjum. Największym jednak osiągnięciem tej gminy oraz całego powiatu grójeckiego jest Centralne Obserwatorium Geofizyczne w Belsku Instytutu Geofizyki Polskiej Akademii Nauk. Ośrodek ten prowadzi liczne badania, które stały się źródłem licznych prac i opracowań. Na podstawie badań i obserwacji powstało więcej prac w języku angielskim niż w języku polskim czego przykładem jest Effects of clouds on the surface erythemal UV-B irradiances at northern midlatitudes: estimation from the observations taken at Belsk, Poland (1999–2001) zamieszczony w Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics.

Obserwatorium Geofizyczne Instytutu Geofizyki PAN w Belsku Dużym rozpoczęło swoją oficjalną działalność w roku 1965. Obserwatorium to kontynuuje pracę obserwatorium w Świdrze, które działało od 1920 roku. Silny wzrost sztucznych zakłóceń, głównie magnetycznych, pochodzących od zelektryfikowanych linii kolejowych aglomeracji warszawskiej, spowodował konieczność przeniesienia obserwacji geomagnetycznych ze Świdra w inne miejsce, niezbyt odległe od Warszawy, a jednocześnie o małym poziomie sztucznych zakłóceń.

Obecnie działalność Obserwatorium prowadzona jest w ramach dwóch jednostek organizacyjnych, merytorycznie związanych z Zakładami Magnetyzmu Ziemskiego oraz Fizyki Atmosfery Instytutu Geofizyki PAN. Jednostkami tymi są:
Laboratorium Magnetyzmu Ziemskiego i Laboratorium Fizyki Atmosfery
Laboratorium Magnetyzmu Ziemskiego działa w ramach międzynarodowego projektu INTERMAGNET. Laboratorium Fizyki Atmosfery jest członkiem sieci AERONET oraz sieci EARLINET.

Gospodarka
Większość mieszkańców Belska Dużego zajmuje się uprawą ziemi, a konkretnie sadownictwem. Niemniej jednak na terenie tej miejscowości znajduje się duży kompleks przemysłu spożywczego włoskiej firmy Ferrero. Obecnie zakład zatrudnia ponad 1000 pracowników i prowadzi dalsze inwestycje strukturalne. Ponadto na terenie Belska Dużego działa kilka firm zajmujących się eksportem owoców. Najbardziej znaną jest firma ACTIV, która w 2004 roku wystartowała w ogólnopolskim konkursie "Sposób na Sukces" organizowanym przez Centrum Doradztwa Rolniczego w Brwinowie przy współpracy z Agencją Restrukturyzacji i Modernizacji Rolnictwa i Ministra Rolnictwa i otrzymała I nagrodę.

Znane postacie związane z Belskiem
 Jan Kozietulski – oficer wojsk napoleońskich, który wsławił się szarżą w przełęczy Somosierra, obecnie leży pochowany w podziemiach kościoła w Belsku Dużym.
 Zdzisław Lubomirski – polski prawnik, polityk i działacz społeczny, prezydent Warszawy, członek Rady Regencyjnej, pochowany na tyłach kościoła na rodzinnym cmentarzu.
 Jan Piotr Rządkowski (ur. 14 lipca 1860, zm. 17 lutego 1934 w Suchorzewie) – tytularny generał broni Wojska Polskiego, uczestnik walk o niepodległość Polski w I wojnie światowej i wojnie polsko-bolszewickiej.

Dutch yellowtail producer collaborating with UMaine
Yellowtail (Seriola lalandi) producer Kingfish Zeeland is collaborating with the University of Maine as part of its effort to build a land-based farm in Maine.
The Dutch company will work with the university's Center for Cooperative Aquaculture Research business incubator program to build its broodstock and scale its operations for eventual production at its land-based farm.
Last November, Kingfish Zeeland announced plans to build a $110-million land-based aquaculture facility in Jonesport. The company currently produces antibiotic-free yellowtail in the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands.
Meanwhile animal nutrition company Nutreco said it is investing in Kingfish Zeeland. The new funding from Nutreco and several other investors will enable Kingfish Zeeland to double its current production capacity of 500 tonnes per year, as well as prepare for their next steps toward large-scale production across both the US and Europe, Nutreco said in a press release.
This partnership will help Kingfish Zeeland accelerate large-scale production of yellowtail through RAS across the US and European markets, said Kingfish Zeeland CEO Ohad Maiman.

Audi R8 LMX coupe revealed
Limited edition Audi R8 LMX will be the first road car to feature laser headlights
by Richard Ingram
The current Audi R8 supercar is coming to the end of its life, but before the all-new model arrives next year, the German manufacturer is releasing one last limited edition.
Named the Audi R8 LMX, production will be limited to just 99 models. To make it stand out from the crowd, it will be the first road car in the world to feature futuristic laser headlights – ahead of the all-important BMW i8 that goes on sale towards the end of 2014. The BMW had been billed as the first production road car to feature the tech, but this new Audi will snatch that title – arriving in showrooms this summer.
The new laser headlights generate a cone of light with twice the range of LEDs – offering around 600m of uninterrupted light. They are up to 30 per cent more efficient, while also enhancing visibility and safety. An intelligent camera-based sensor system detects other road users and actively adjusts the light pattern to exclude them and prevent momentary blinding.
All Audi R8 LMX models come with a seven-speed S tronic automatic gearbox, 19-inch alloy wheels and carbon-ceramic brakes and will only be available as a two-seat coupe. It only comes in exclusive Ara Blue paint, while a large boot spoiler makes passers-by aware that this is no ordinary Audi.
On the outside, there are plenty of lightweight carbon fibre additions, such as the engine compartment cover and door-mirrors, while at the rear all cars get a gloss black sports exhaust.
Inside the R8 LMX gets a black interior with blue stitching, plus additional touches of carbon fibre to accentuate the lightweight sports car look.
All models will get a newer, faster version of the 5.2-litre V10 petrol engine from the top-of-the-range Audi R8, capable of 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 199mph. As you'd expect, fuel economy and emissions are poor – with the Audi R8 LMX returning just 22mpg and 299g/km of CO2.
Although unconfirmed, we expect demand to be sufficient enough to ensure the Audi R8 LMX goes on sale in the UK later this year. Prices will be announced nearer the time, starting from around £170,000.

Q: Register app in Azure AD to access CDS Web API I'm trying to figure out how to integrate an external app with Microsoft CDS Web API. The first step would be to try the Wep API with Postman. Following this document I could authenticate and make requests to the API using the client id provided in the document. However, when I try to register my own app in my AAD, I can't get the access token in Postman without having first to request the admin for consent.
I followed the instructions in this document to register the app, plus I allowed implicit flow. A did this in a trial account, where I'm the admin and then I tried retrieving the token with an user of another tenant (where I'm not an admin) it tells me to ask the tenant for consent.
Do you know how to register the app without non-admin users having to request admin consent?
Edit:
The registrated app has the following permissions, where none of them require admin consent:
Screenshot of the selected permission
The tenant which the non admin-users belong to has the following configuration for users being able to consent access:
Screenshot of user settings
Anyway, I assume these last settings would not be the problem because when requesting the token with the client id provided by Microsoft in the example of the first link, I do not require the consent from the admin.
Just for the sake of clarity, this is the step that I would like to remove from the authorization process:
Screenshot of the consent request screen

A: First of all you need to know that not all permissions require admin consent.
Dynamics CRM user_impersonation permission doesn't require admin consent.

But you need to make sure all the permissions added into your registered app don't require admin consent. As long as any permission requires admin consent, then admin consent cannot be bypassed.
Besides, make sure this configuration has been abled in the tenant(which the non-admin users are from).

UPDATE:
You are correct. After testing, I found that this permission does require admin consent. I believe this is an error in the documentation. It seems that the conclusion is that we cannot bypass admin consent.


Beta presents the new 2018 Evo Trial model range, which represents a continued evolvement from the 2017 model, affirming its position as market leader in the industry, thereby repeating history for the Tuscan manufacturer.
The engineers of the Tuscan manufacturer have carried out intensive development to the entire range and refined the Evo models from a technical and functional perspective that are more powerful, intuitive and yet still fun to ride. Highlighting the 2018 line up is no doubt the now-famous Evo engine, which for 2018 is available in 125/200/250/300 2 stroke and 250/300 4 stroke.
Even more big news is the introduction of the all-new 2-stroke Evo 300 SS, where "SS" stands for "Super Smooth", this new Trial model offers amateur riders a softer power delivery and while equally fun as the standard 300 model, it has been designed for those intimidated by the more powerful 300 models available. The Evo 300 SS is sure to grab the attention of riders across all continents.

The program, established by Bemidji City Council on Monday, June 21, will be available to 19 landowners in the Bardwell Park neighborhood, located south of Anne Street and west of US Highway 71. At the West of the neighborhood is the area where the city's water wells are located.
Over the past decade, the city has learned about chemicals known as PFAs in this area that were found in groundwater and then in wells. To meet state health and environmental standards, the city built a water treatment plant to remove chemicals entering the municipal supply.
While the city's water is currently treated, it is possible that the chemical plume will continue to move east and enter private wells in the Bardwell Park area. However, testing has yet to show chemicals in the private wells.
Because of the risk, the city has created a new program for these residents, which has two components.
One is to waive the payment of any water access fee to area residents, which is estimated at $ 845 or $ 1,268. The other is to help cover the cost of the water connection fee, which can run up to around $ 4,000.
The program was approved with two motions, with council unanimously adopting the waiver for the water access charge. An amount of up to $ 4,000 was set for the other incentive, which was approved by a 6: 1 vote, with Mayor Jorge Prince, as well as council members Ron Johnson, Daniel Jourdain, Josh Peterson, Emelie Rivera and Audrey Thayer in favor, while Nancy Erickson was against.
The incentive program will be available until November 1, 2022.
Other board business
The council also invested in firefighting equipment on Monday with two motions. One motion concerned the Rural Fire Association, which contracts with the city.
The city recently built the Nymore Fire Station and purchased a new ladder truck. For an appropriate distribution of capital, according to the contract, the RFA will purchase the next fire truck with the associated costs, estimated at $ 1.1 million.
To do this, RFA needs $ 500,000 in short-term funding. The council accepted the funding, with a repayment schedule by the end of 2027.
Funding approval was made by 5-2, with Johnson, Jourdain, Peterson, Prince and Rivera in favor, while Erickson and Thayer were against. Council also unanimously approved a new $ 60,000 vehicle for the Deputy Fire Chief to visit inspection sites.
Another decision made by the council amended a proposed ordinance amendment allowing certain residents of rural areas of the city to be able to hunt with certain types of firearms. Many of the residents who were annexed last year from Northern Township were able to do so on their property under this government's rules.
Last year, these residents asked if hunting practices could continue and the city considered how to make that possible. An amendment to the ordinance has been devised and recently it has been considered by the City's Deer Committee.
Two committee suggestions added to the amendment with council approval banned shotgun slugs and required a minimum property parcel size of five acres. The suggestions were approved by a 6-1 vote, with Erickson, Jourdain, Peterson, Prince, Rivera and Thayer in favor, while Johnson was against.
A public hearing on the amendment to the ordinance will be held at the next council meeting.

Abstract. Arctic lakes, through their ice cover phenology, are a key indicator of climatic changes that the high-latitude environment is experiencing. In the case of lakes in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA), many of which are ice covered more than 10 months per year, warmer temperatures could result in ice regime shifts. Within the dominant polar-desert environment, small local warmer areas have been identified. These relatively small regions – polar oases – with longer growing seasons and greater biological productivity and diversity are secluded from the surrounding barren polar desert. The ice regimes of 11 lakes located in both polar-desert and polar-oasis environments, with surface areas between 4 and 542km2, many of unknown bathymetry, were documented. In order to investigate the response of ice cover of lakes in the CAA to climate conditions during recent years, a 15-year time series (1997–2011) of RADARSAT-1/2 ScanSAR Wide Swath, ASAR Wide Swath, and Landsat acquisitions were analyzed. Results show that melt onset occurred earlier for all observed lakes. With the exception of Lower Murray Lake, all lakes experienced earlier summer ice minimum and water-clear-of-ice (WCI) dates, with greater changes being observed for polar-oasis lakes (9–24 days earlier WCI dates for lakes located in polar oases and 2–20 days earlier WCI dates for polar-desert lakes). Additionally, results suggest that some lakes may be transitioning from a perennial/multiyear to a seasonal ice regime, with only a few lakes maintaining a multiyear ice cover on occasional years. Aside Lake Hazen and Murray Lakes, which preserved their ice cover during the summer of 2009, no residual ice was observed on any of the other lakes from 2007 to 2011.

Katu Kaiku may not be your typical Midlands Rocks fare but, hey, we're about the music here, and if it's good, it's in. Maybe it won't be your kind of thing, but then maybe it will. Anyhow, what harm can a review do?
So, on to the skinny. Katu Kaiku are a Finnish jazz power trio. All members of the burgeoning Finnish avant-jazz scene, they started as acoustic free jazz street performers and are now set to release 'Luna' – their second album and their first for Svart Records. And quite a progression it is.
Proceedings commence with a gentle drum pattern, a vaguely guitar-sounding bass riff and sweeping, dreamlike saxophone. It's soporific, but in a good way. It whispers in your ear, strokes your hair, feeds you grapes. It briefly floats away to leave just the bass, before drums and sax re-emerge. It's resolutely not rock in any way, shape or form but it is very lovely. Lush and chilled, it's the very definition of late night music, best shared with a comfy chair and a cold glass of whatever takes your fancy.
And that's pretty much what you get. The songs waft into each other continuing an album wide vibe. A strange, calming crackle surrounds the saxophone, like listening to a beloved old LP, adding to the feeling of familiar warmth. Riffs emerge from the ether and disappear again, snaking around the luscious melodies.
Occasionally the pace picks up…slightly. There is marvellous pacing and control of mood throughout while the saxophone adds a gentle air of tension and anticipation. Like Coltrane on Night Nurse. It's almost too relaxing. You may feel the need to run around the room, blast out some Motorhead, eat blue Smarties or give yourself a mild electric shock. The songs caress your ears – floating, drifting, spiralling, lulling you.
Their free jazz past is hinted at occasionally – but only subtly. Songs mostly just groove along in their own space, creating their own calming slipstream. There are occasional detours – '1000 Sails' has wordless vocals, barely a notch above humming, while 'A Month Of Sundays' has full on vocals. It's breathy sax and ethereal lyrics combining to create a moody, abstract Film Noir theme.
So, a fine chillout album, a break from the grind and chaos of being a full-time rock dude. It brings to mind the sadly now defunct Esbjorn Svensson Trio or the music of German jazz label ECM, who describe their releases as being "the most beautiful sound next to silence". I can think of no better description of 'Luna'.

Lingnan University study shows 65% of female LGBT+ employees perceive glass ceiling in financial sector
A survey conducted by Lingnan University in Hong Kong's (LU) Department of Cultural Studies finds 65 per cent of lesbian and bisexual female respondents perceived a glass ceiling in financial services in Hong Kong. The research team noted an urgent need for employers to build inclusive workplaces for LGBT+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and related communities) employees.

A survey conducted by Lingnan University in Hong Kong's (LU) Department of Cultural Studies finds 65 per cent of lesbian and bisexual female respondents perceived a glass ceiling in financial services in Hong Kong. The research team noted an urgent need for employers to build inclusive workplaces for LGBT+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and related communities) employees.
The survey project, "Building Inclusive Workplaces for Lesbians and Bisexual Women in Hong Kong's Financial Services Industry" is the first of its kind study conducted in Asia.
The survey, carried out between May and August 2020, examines the specific challenges and barriers faced by lesbians and bisexual women in the financial and banking industry in Hong Kong. A total of 103 female respondents aged 18 or above completed an anonymous online questionnaire, and two focus group interviews with 16 female participants were conducted.
Results show that 37 per cent of respondents came out as lesbian, bisexual, or transgender at work and 23 per cent were out to close colleagues only (Figure 1). Although 93 per cent of respondents had never known of or been involved in grievance or disciplinary measures associated with sexual orientation (Figure 2), 65 per cent agree or somewhat agree that there is a glass ceiling for LGBT+ employees (Figure 3) and 32 per cent agree and 46 per cent somewhat agree that it is harder for lesbians and bisexual women to come out in the workplace than it is for gay men (Figure 4). In addition, 66 per cent replied that their companies do not offer LGBT+ inclusive or ally training to all staff.
Prof Denise Tang Tse-shang, Assistant Professor at the Department of Cultural Studies of Lingnan University in Hong Kong who led the project, said that although most respondents have never been involved in grievance or disciplinary measures against their sexual orientation, there were only 37 per cent of them came out at work, and that 65 per cent perceived an invisible barrier preventing LGBT+ from attaining executive positions.
"Hong Kong's financial and banking industry, the so-called international financial hub, may not be immune from the discrimination against LGBT+ employees, and their high levels of stress and anxiety, and fear of being judged as both a woman and a lesbian as reflected in our survey, should be addressed. Masculine-presenting employees reflected that they face significantly more scrutiny than cisgender female employees. Therefore, even though discussions on diversity and inclusion have been on the agenda for a better corporate work environment in Hong Kong, there still remain gaps in raising awareness of lesbian and bisexual women's issues," Prof Tang explained.
The research team noted an urgent need for employers to ensure that all levels of their companies observe diversity and inclusion initiatives, and set up comprehensive diversity ally training programmes. "We hope to increase public awareness of the workplace issues and challenges that lesbians and bisexual women in Hong Kong's financial services industry face, as well as raising the professional standards of the industry overall. Employers should be aware of homophobia and sexism in the workplace. If there is a report of inappropriate or unprofessional behaviour, such as bullying, harassment or discriminatory remarks, toward LGBT+ employees, employers should avoid brushing it off or dismissing it as a joke," Prof Tang stressed.

Brennauer, Queen of the Sachsenring
Lisa Brennauer conquered with her Orca the Sachsenring to become German road race champion for the second year running. The 2020 championships course was 28 laps of 3.5km on the Moto GP race track.
The race was nervous with all eyes on Brennauer and her compatriots, Lin Teutenberg and Kathrin Hammes.
"We started relaxed, we didn't give the attacking riders too much space, some riders tried to break away, first a two-rider breakaway, then a three-rider breakaway but we didn't feel too stressed about it." Said Kathrin Hammes.
When the three riders were able to escape the peloton, the time gap was kept steady and manageable to bring back. But as the laps were ticking down the gap started to go out, nearing 2'00".
Several times Brennauer tried to attack to get across but was reeled back in, and with the gap to the leaders becoming established, it was crunch time.
"The course was very hard, much harder than I expected. Each lap there was 3 punchy climbs which you could go into with a lot of momentum, but after 28laps it was a very tiring day. I spoke to Lin during the race to see if it felt hard or if it was because I wasn't feeling too good, the nature of the course was brutal after so many laps." Brennauer said.
At the half way point Hammes, Teutenberg and Brennauer started to attack to make it hard for everyone and to thin out of the field. It was hard to get away properly, but after the attacked there were around 15-20 riders left in the peloton who were in contention for the win into the final.
There was one rider still away, who had a 50 second gap in the last lap, 3.5km to go.
"Lin did a super job of chasing to close the gap, then Kathrin and I also tried to attack to bridge across but also to speed up the peloton because there was no organised chase with it being so wide, it made it difficult to escape.
Kathrin chased the solo rider down for the final 2km then the chase ended and became the lead out, I opened up my sprint and we caught the solo rider in the final bend with around 350m to go then I sprinted fully to finish off the great work Kathrin and Lin had done throughout the race. I'm extremely proud to defend this beautiful German champions jersey." Said Lisa.
