Originally built in 1870, Wilford Toll is an existing foot and cycle bridge over the River Trent in Nottingham City Centre. With increasing traffic and footfall, the bridge was strengthened and widened to allow for the extra traffic. The main contractor Taylor Woodrow was engaged as part of the Nottingham Express Transit 2 Scheme. Taylor Woodrow appointed Freyssinet in 2013 to undertake jacking and foot bridge bearing replacement works.
The first phase of the works involved the replacement of the portal leg base bearings at the North and South piers, located in the centre of the River Trent. Freyssinetsteel temporary works to facilitate the jacking of the portal legs to enable the replacement of the existing bearings.
The works were complex, and required the jacking of large steel jacking frames, hydro-demolition undertaken by Aquaforce Jetting Limited, and replacement of large bearings in excess of 1tonne per bearing with 4no bearings in total.
Location was a further complication, as the works had to be carried out in the middle of a tidal river. In order to move heavy plant and machinery out over the river onto the workplace, Freyssinet used large cranes to lift the steel temporary works out onto the piers in the middle of the river. Access to the works area was also difficult, so complex scaffolds under slung from the bridge were installed to provide access to the pier bases and crossheads.
There were also overcome. Any works that had the potential to lose or spill substances that could pollute the water had to be contained at scaffold level. Freyssinet lined the scaffolding with polythene sheeting to contain potential contaminants and bund walls were built at the base of the piers to contain any contaminants, which were then pumped to the river bank, treated with a Siltbuster unit before being discharged to ground in accordance with EA requirements.
The second phase of the works involved the replacement of 18no mechanical bearings at the top of the portal legs, half joints and both North and South abutments. Like at phase one, these works required hydro-demolition and bearing replacement above a tidal river.
The works were carried out on time and to budget to the satisfaction of both Taylor Woodrow and the client.

The natural history of antithyroid antibodies in subjects with or without autoimmune thyroid disease is unclear. Some reports suggest no change (8, 9, 10), and some find a decrease (11, 12) in the prevalence of antibodies during long term follow-up. A recent population survey in randomly selected individuals reports an increase in prevalence (7). Hitherto, there have been no reports of the variability of TPOAb levels in subjects with PPTD during long-term follow-up.
The Caerphilly postpartum thyroiditis project has been described previously (4). Briefly, 1248 pregnant women were screened at 16 weeks gestation, and 145 TPOAb-positive subjects and 229 TPOAb-negative age-matched subjects were recruited. At follow-up, 98 TPOAb-positive women [48 with PPTD (group 1) and 50 without PPTD (group 2)] and 70 TPOAb-negative control women (group 3) remained in the study. The median (range) length of follow-up was 77 (61134) months for group 1, 81 (63139) months for group 2, and 77 (66140) months for group 3. Although a follow-up rate of 68% for TPOAb-positive subjects (groups 1 and 2) was satisfactory, a rate of 31% (over a median follow-up period of 77 months; range, 66140) for TPOAb-negative subjects (group 3) was less so. The subjects in this study were contacted individually by letter and telephone. The low response rate in group 3 was due to a combination of factors, including residence outside the area, unrelated illness, and problems with regard to attendance at clinics. However, a comparison of subjects who were available for follow-up with those who dEach subject was seen at a special follow-up clinic by an endocrine physician (J.H.L., L.D.K.E.P., and F.A.). The examining physicians were not aware of the TPO antibody or thyroid status of the subjects postpartum. Blood was taken for free T3 (FT3), free T4 (FT4), TSH, and thyroid antibody analysis. U/S scans were performed by a radiologist (H.A.), who was unaware of the past and present clinical, biochemical. or immunological status of the subject, based on a previously designed protocol, and results were recorded as previously described (3). A cohort of 16 subjects (from group 1) who had developed permanent hypothyroidism at 9 months after delivery and who were receiving T4 replacement were invited to discontinue their medication and were seen 6 weeks later to assess clinically and biochemically the need for continuation of therapy. One further subject from group 2 who was given T4 replacement therapy by her family physician after the first postpartum year had ended was similarly assessed.
HLA analysis for class II antigens was available in 152 subjects (group 1, n = 43; group 2, n = 46; group 3, n = 63) as previously described (16).
The thyroid ultrasound scan methods have been described previously (3). The thyroid parenchyma was regarded as normal (grade 0) when it was uniformly hyperechoic relative to muscle. Mild thyroiditis was diagnosed when there were small and sparse focal areas of hypoechogenicity and intervening normally echogenic thyroid parenchyma (grade 1). Moderate thyroiditis was diagnosed when there were more widespread focally hypoechogenic areas within the thyroid but with preservation of some normally echogenic gland (grade 2). Advanced thyroiditis was diagnosed when the thyroid was diffusely hypoechogenic or when hypoechogenic areas were interspersed with areas of abnormally high echogenicity to produce a mixed echopattern (grade 3). For the purposes of this study, the presence of solitary nodules or cysts was disregarded in terms of classification of the background thyroid parenchyma. Subjects had between 112 thyroid U/S scans during the first postpartum year and an additional scan at the time of the follow-up visit. The highest U/S scan grade (i.e. the scan showing the most severe thyroiditis) during the postpartum period was compared with the U/S scan grade at follow-up.
Sampling of blood and U/S scans
U/S scans. Thyroid U/S scans were performed at the follow-up visit in 46 of 48 group 1, 48 of 50 group 2 (i.e. 94 of 98 TPOAb-positive), and 66 of 70 group 3 (TPOAb-negative) subjects. Scans at the time of the index illness were available for comparison with follow-up scans on 41 of 98 TPOAb-positive and 27 of 70 TPOAb-negative subjects.
Data were analyzed using the SPSS, Inc.

Related to peak postpartum TSH levels. Peak postpartum TSH (reflecting the severity of thyroid dysfunction) was significantly different between the group of subjects who had thyroid dysfunction at follow-up and the group of subjects whose thyroid function was normal (geometric mean ± 1 SD, 30.85 ± 3.97 vs. 14.63 ± 2.73 mU/L; P < 0.01). Peak postpartum TSH was greater than 20 mU/L in a higher percentage(70%) than in those whose thyroid function was normal (16.5%). However, in the former group there was no difference in peak postpartum TSH levels in subjects who developed early thyroid dysfunction compared to those who developed late thyroid dysfunction.
TPOAb levels
TPOAb levels were measured monthly during the immediate postpartum
period in all three groups of subjects. There was a significant
difference in the peak postpartum levels of TPOAb (defined as the
highest level of TPOAb obtained during monthly sampling in the first

Studies from Canada (23, 24) and Scandinavia (25) reported the association of PPTD and HLA-DR3, -4, and -5. Further evidence of HLA associations were demonstrated in Japanese subjects with hypothyroid PPTD and permanent hypothyroidism after PPTD (HLA-DR9) (6). More recently, Kologlu et al. described an association of a combination of HLA-A1,B8,DR3 and HLA-B8,DR3 in women who had PPTD (26). We have shown a weak association between a reduced frequency of HLA-DR15 and DQ6 and an increased frequency of HLA-DR5 and DQ7 and PPTD (16). However, in our previous follow-up study, we were not able to demonstrate a link between HLA and PPTD (5). The current follow-up study in a larger group of subjects confirmed this lack of association between HLA antigens and long-term outcome after PPTD. The clinical significance of the low frequency of HLA-DR10 in subjects with late thyroid dysfunction is unclear. The number of subjects was too small for any meaningful comparisons.
Finally, the current study makes it clear that the effects of PPTD are not confined to the immediate postpartum period, and it underlines the need for long term surveillance of TPOAb-positive subjects who develop PPTD (a relative risk of developing long-term thyroid dysfunction of 32 compared to TPOAb-negative subjects). The early development of permanent hypothyroidism in one third of them and the tendency for a further cohort to develop thyroid dysfunction over several years (a relative risk of 12.9 for subjects who developed PPTD, but were euthyroid during the first postpartum year), make regular follow-up necessary. There is also the risk of developing PPTD after subsequent pregnancies (27). Long term follow-up of TPOAb-positive subjects who do not develop PPTD (a relative risk of 2.8 of developing thyroid dysfunction compared to TPOAb-negative subjects) does not seem to be as important, although they too may develop PPTD after subsequent pregnancies.


· Close encounters [+6]

But now it's time to go back to Tokyo Disneyland, where we had one of the cutest experiences ever. We took a little time clearing out of the hub from the Electrical Parade, so by the time we made it back to Tomorrowland, we could see that Space Mountain was already developing a sizable line. On the other hand, the Stitch Encounter was right there in front of us, had a relatively short line, and took us inside fairly quickly. That last part is what I think was the deciding factor, because we were cold. It's kind of weird to think of that now, when it's seven-thirty at night and more than eighty degrees outside (it's February, for anyone reading this in the future), but it's true. We were very cold.
Also important, we had never done the Stitch Encounter before, because they don't have it in California. They do have it in Florida, and I think I remember seeing a picture for it with a link to an article about the rides in Florida to skip, but I'd never done it before, so I wanted to do it anyway! Besides, the people who write those articles usually (based on the one or two we've read) don't know how to enjoy life.
The queue area was pretty fun. It was all futuristic, with screens all around, including one big one that seemed to have Stitch's vacation photos or something. It kept showing him in different places, like at the pyramids in Egypt. When we went inside the encounter room, they explained that this was...some place with an official name...and its job was to monitor Stitch to make sure he stays out of trouble, and to make sure evil aliens like Gantu don't come to destroy him. Eventually it dawned on me that this was like Turtle Talk with Crush, in that it's an interactive experience with an animated character, but we liked it a lot better, because we have a bias toward 2D-style animation, Disney (as opposed to Pixar), and Japan. So I don't know how much better this experience is objectively, but subjectively, it was the best thing ever.
We think he talked to someone else, and he probably picked on Kohei once or twice, but then we see a planet in the distance, which catches Stitch's attention. He points it out and asks who wants it. A bunch of people raise their hands, and he calls on a woman who introduces herself as Ami. He tells her that, because she raised her hand so energetically, she gets to be queen of that planet! And this was the cutest thing ever, because he said "queen" in English, but with a Japanese Stitch accent, so think about how they say "queen" in Chihayafuru, and think about Stitch saying it that way, and think about how "Queen Ami" would sound. It's adorable. Then he made Ami put her hands over her head in a crown shape and recite the queen pledge, which she had to repeat after him. He started out in Japanese, but then he switched over to his alien language, and he scolded her when she didn't repeat it word for word, or use the right intonation. She finally managed to get the whole thing out...and Stitch accidentally did something with his computer, and then the planet exploded. So Stitch tells Ami, "Ummm...something went wrong, and your planet exploded. Kohei did it!" he added, pointing to Kohei.
After that we realized that oh hey, we're hungry, and it's still cold. Fortunately, Tomorrowland Terrace happened to be right nearby, and it served chicken nuggets and french fries, so we could have some food without having to gear ourselves up for an adventure when we were already low on energy from dealing with the cold. The best part is that they were Mickey Mouse shaped chicken nuggets, and they tasted amazing. Hands down the best chicken nuggets we had the whole trip. Also, I was feeling a little bit adventurous, so we ordered the dessert to share, even though it was a cheesecake and we generally prefer to leave cheese out of our desserts. But it was a strawberry cheesecake with a pink chocolate Mickey garnish, so it was super cute, and if you haven't learned that we have a weakness for super cute desserts by now, then you are not paying attention.
So we ate our dessert, and we went outside...and found a kitty cat! Not a Disney character cat--a real life cat, and it, too, was soooooo cute! I took a picture.
It was still cold, but Tomorrowland soon gave way to Fantasyland and right there was Winnie the Pooh's Hunny Hunt, with a line that was much shorter because people don't generally stick around very long once the nighttime spectaculars are over. So we went on it,n audio-animatronic in the Blustery Day room of Owl's treehouse. The robot is of the whole house, including the tree, and it has Owl inside it, and as the tree sways back and forth in the wind, Owl slides across it in a bucket and ALMOST FALLS OFF THE EDGE! The animatronics in this ride are so amazing. They even make Pooh look like a plush toy, as opposed to the Winnie the Pooh ride here, where he pretty much looks like fiberglass. ...And it's possible that comparisons like these are why photography is not allowed on that ride.he had to take one train for two stops before we could get on the subway back to Ikebukuro. There was a pair of very sweet girls who got on the train before us, but saw we were all together and so changed seats so we could sit together. So nice! And that's how we ended up sitting across from a guy with a Tinkerbell phone case (so we can be pretty sure he was there for Disneyland) who did not look unlike the famous voice actor Tomokazu Seki. Unfortunately, we weren't confident that he looked enough like him to justify saying anything, and besides, what would we have said anyway? Also, he had headphones in, clearly indicating that he wasn't really open to conversation.
Today I'm thankful for finishing our Livingstone translation, getting to encounter Stitch, our super adorable and warm and comfy and versatile Chip and Dale blankets, having our very own Danny plush, and getting to see the differences between Snow White's Scary Adventure here and Snow White's Scary Adventure there.

Ahhhhh!!! The Stitch Encounter sounds SO cute, you were right!! You were probably also right about people who write articles about rides to skip being people who don't know how to enjoy life :)
And you met cats!!!! I remember my cat-deprivation when I went to Japan... there were a few wary strays around a ceramic studio we visited in Nagano (where Mutsumi lives :D) but they kept their distance. And the person we stayed with only had a little dog, which was not a cat. And then there was one in like a liquor shop down some alley we walked by in Tokyo and I wanted to go in even though it was a liquor shop down an alley, but I was intimidated by the guy at the counter.
How sad that no one in Japan has been able to see So Dear to My Heart! (unless by importing it!!) Even though I haven't either. I hope everyone's dreams come true someday. But now I really wonder how they ended up with all the character merchandise... Ooh, those hooded blankets sound nice. But if I had one, I might end up wearing it all the time forever. (related: I still want a whatsitcalled (hanten?) jacket like Senko wears around her house in IHYMTA♥)
I especially loved this post (not that I didn't love the others too)!! You've got so many amusing and fun descriptions :D Also good work on finishing Livingstone today, and good luck with Noragami next!!
I know, right!? I wonder if it's different in Florida, or if the people don't do it as well (the humor seemed a little Japanese to me, but I couldn't say why, especially because the "Kohei did it!" think is totally American; on the other hand, when I think about Stitch talking in English, it really isn't as cute, and I feel a little bad for saying that, because the voice of Stitch is also the creator of Stitch, but my opinion still stands)...but it probably is more about knowing how to enjoy life.
Yes!! We're sorry you had to go without cats for so long! What we didn't do was visit a cat cafe, which is a little silly, because there were at least (at least!) three cat cafes on our regular walking route from our hotel to Animate. Maybe next time we'll have more guts to go into different places. (Kyoya says we need to go at least four times a year.)
It IS sad! We think the reason they still feature it at Tokyo Disneyland is that Walt Disney is quoted as saying it's one of his favorites. The hooded blankets are nice! I'm wearing mine right now! (It's a bit chilly outside now.) Part of why we bought them is that I saw them and I thought, "Oh my goodness, something I've been wanting very badly lately is a blanket to wrap my shoulders in when we're at the computer working!" It's like Japan is reading our minds.
We're glad you liked it! I think the Stitch encounter helped me get back into my Disneyland-reporting groove.
I would've loved to visit a cat cafe... but it probably wouldn't have been of much interest to my traveling companions, and if I was going to drag them anywhere just because I wanted to go, it had to be Book Off :)
Four times a year!! Kyoya's got big ideas. Good for him :D
""
I was very pleased with myself because I got the "Tanaka" reference. :D This is for the oddest of reasons: I was once writing a fanfic, and I needed a name for someone who didn't have one in the manga, and I wanted something rather generic. So, being the weirdo that I am, I checked to see what the most common Japanese surname is. And then, I estimated the character's age, and checked what the most popular baby name for that year was. And I got my name.
Disney is truly for all ages, and some things can be really scary. I made the mistake of taking my daughter to see "Sleeping Beauty" when she was between 2 and 3. She wasn't overly fearful of anything, and she could communicate very well at that age, and I thought she'd enjoy it. Well. As soon as Maleficent appeared, she started screaming and crying and climbing up me, and we had to leave. IIRC, we stopped at the video store on the way home, and got Disney's "Robin Hood", which is still one of her favorite movies. ;)
How cold was it in Japan? I always think of it as being warm, but I know (mostly from anime/manga) that it snows in Tokyo sometimes, and it's cold in northern Japan, so I am just curious.
It's funny to me that you think of Japan as warm, because I think of it as "about like where I live" (Michigan), but then I remember people in Tokyo are surprised when it snows so I'm pretty sure I'm wrong. Maybe because Japan seems so seasonally-focused, I expect them to experience the cold and snow of winter just like I do... (I also realize that the country itself covers a range of climates, with tropical Okinawa in the south and snowy Hokkaido on the other end. looking at a map, Hokkaido and Michigan are about the same latitude...)
Yay, somebody understood the joke! We seem to remember reading about that character of yours...
Oh, no, poor little girl! I remember seeing something (I think it was an interview with Dick van Dyke) that told us that Walt Disney was a staunch believer in the concept that kids like to be scared, and man, watching Snow White and Pinocchio, we can definitely see that attitude. Athena says, "As a child, if he had told me that, I would have kicked him." I think it's true to an extent, though; Darby O'Gill and the Little People terrified us, but we still insisted on watching it. That and Yuniko.
Incidentally, the Japanese voice of Shigure in Fruits Basket said on Twitter that when he was a kid, the movie Snow White scared him. But he grew up to play a character in Kingdom Hearts who scared Snow White, so it came full circle...sort of.
I think it was about forty degrees Fahrenheit when the sun was up, but it snowed one night when we were in Tokyo. Plus, that day at Disneyland, it was windy, so it felt even colder.


Board of elections to reconvene to announce final provisional ballot count
The Lucas County Board of Elections met at 10 a.m. to begin the final process of certifying the vote and then recessed about 11:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.
The board spent the morning session remaking about 150 flawed ballots and will resume its working session at 3:30 p.m.
Ballots must be remade when a paper ballot has been completed in a way that could not be read by the mechanical scanner. In those cases, the four-member electionsexamines the ballot and will fix the ballot if it can agree on the vote the voter was trying to cast.
Imagination Station’s 0.17-mill operating levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 house $5.21 annually. generates about $1.3 million a year.
Also within range of being reversed by the outstanding provisional ballots is the contest for Lucas County Common Pleas Court judge leads Mr. Phillips by 2,954 votes in the preliminary count.

OPTIMUM ASUMT (SFA), a solution for automating sales representatives and merchandisers, is included in the review Russian Software 2016: Innovations and Accomplishments published by PC Magazine/Russian Edition that annually represents the most interesting, innovative or non-standard developments of Russian IT companies.
The review stresses that the SFA system developed by the CDC corporate group remains one of the best solutions and is superior to similar products created both in Russia and abroad.' The magazine notes the following distinctive features of OPTIMUM ASUMT: automatic support of sales outlets' databases using deduplication technology (the system reconciles the database data to the data contained in a federal information system and identifies mismatches in records; for example, mismatches in the addresses and names of sales outlets), automatic reconciliation of planograms through recognition of photos of shelves with products, and maintenance of offline mode.
The review is published in the December 2016 issue of PC Magazine/RE.


there will have to be some major response from if Israel attacks it.
In Soviet times, I wonder if there was ever carefully accountancy of how much money was expended on the systems, which were then given freely around the world.
Strategically it had some advantage of making Americans repeat the policy, and waste their own resources in similar manner – in the case of Egypt, even directly replacing the role which continues today.
Here is the quote from Karlin’s OP:
Khmeimim AFB hosts the RuAF in Syria. So Karlin is not talking about the (as yet undelivered) S-300PMU vs. IAF, but rather the RuAF in Syria vs. the IDF.
*IF* “enthusiastic fanboys” are correct, that means the RuAF in Syria enjoys a qualitative edge over the IAF. Just like the Me-262 had a qualitative edge over the P-51.
My comment was that even assuming this is true, it’s irrelevant because the IAF has a lot more forces in theater than the RuAF.
I agree with this, but it’s not what my original comment was about.
The second cruise missile strike was on empty warehouses, the first one hit Shayrat hard and is still not fully operational. FUKUS were planning to do substantial strikes on Syrian military installations that would have rendered them inoperable for some time. This isn’t WWII when Spitfires can take off from fields.
Yes, it is indeed good enough. Especially because you can wet dirt down with water or macadam it very quickly. Austere airbases reduce sortie rates and increase maintenance requirements which is why US and allied forces generally avoid them.
Switzerland and Sweden operate fighters with American jet engines with an austere airbase doctrine. I believe Norway and Austria have austere base doctrines as well but know less about this.
Here’s an example from Sweden:
The aircraft you see is a Saab J 37 Viggen which has a Swedish derivative of the Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbofan engine (which otherwise was only used in civil aviation to my knowledge).
That said, no, the F-16 will not do as well on an austere strip as a MiG-29 since the MiG-29 has popup intakes on the top of the fuselage.
Felix I don’t think military is this game of “hawks and doves”.
However, perhaps you can understand better than me, how this multistage “chess problem” is?
The much more advanced and modern, S-400 system, is already established in Latakia for 3 years.
If functions as advertised, all that was required to shut down at least this area, was to say to Israel (USA/Turkey/France, etc) that this area of airspace (at least around Latakia where are Russian forces) was protected.
S-400 is there and can shoot down any unauthorized planes – so all that needs to be issued is a warning to other airforces, not to fly in this zone. Just some firmness on this point, would save all the problems.
Apparently, though, policy was not this- but it was to allow Israel to fly here, while also allowing Syria to fire back.
This recipe predictably results in Syrian S-200 to shoot down almost irreplaceable ELINT aircraft with 15 airmen.
New response is to now not simply close down airspace with S-400.
But instead to give to Syria its own, older S-300 system. The system has longer range – some missiles have enough range potentially shoot down airliners from Northern Tel Aviv, to Cypress, to most of Turkey, covering the main area of Russian charter tourism. (I might be a little worried next time I fly over here).
At the same time, S-400, will still (it seems from statements) probably not shoot anything that flies over.
Why was the operating area above Latakia simply not shut down by S-400 since 2015?
Either there is some level of chess I don’t understand, or this is how you would do “geopolitics at IQ of 75″.
A decent road can be built in a few days. It won’t last for very long, maybe, but as a stopgap measure, it’d be good enough.
This isn’t WW2 and Russia can change those ratios practically overnight if it wishes due to modern day logistics, cruise missiles, and airforce technology.
How was Isreals force ratio helping them to defeat Lebbanon?
Missiles can be launched one after the other if need be to destroy repair crews even.
Modern day logistics = higher fuel consumption and ammunition expenditures
This means you require more ships, tankers, trucks, bases, depots, dumps, warehouses, etc.
What is the idle air base capacity in Syria right now? If it’s not much, then you’re talking about construction.
Russia can shower Israel with cruise missiles of course, but that wouldn’t save the RuAF in Syria.
As for the Lebanon, I haven’t said the IDF is invincible or that it always attains its objectives. My only point is that the IAF can destroy the RuAF in Syria owing to numerical superiority. Russia is quite aware of this which is why there’s a deconfliction hotline and why they’ve deployed and demonstrated some asymmetric response tools.
Missiles run out.
And they run out before warstocks actually go to zero owing to the need to keep respectable warstocks in reserve for other contingencies.
And no, you can’t target the repair crews unless you can constantly surveil the area and can strike the area immediately.
Isreal would not be able to overwhelm Russian forces in Syria unless it went big and sent its entire airforce against it and was willing to take substantial losses and inflict substantial Russian losses.
If this were the case, Russia could refortify the position as quickly and then Isreal would be in deep shit.
Isreal does not have the balls to do this so it is a moot point.
In Israel, their plan is to use highways designed to be runways. I can see Highway 4 has a designated airport code.
I can believe myself – these roads with long, smooth parts of them. It would be interesting how they move the planes onto them though (on the back of a truck?).
If you really wanted to kill the repair crews, there are a lot better ways about it, but that’s definitely a level of escalation that’s uncomfortable to reach.
As a general rule, destroying/suppressing runways is a surprisingly difficult task. You’re better off targeting the planes, not the runways, for a much higher level of destruction and probably less actual killing depending on populated the hangers are.
Yes. This is common(Taiwan does this too), and repair crews could arguably be civilians. Targetting them is probably not a position that a country wants to be in.
Wow, more fuel and ammo spent. Big deal.
Do you think this would be enough to motivate Russia to not defend their own soldiers if they were attacked? Especially considering how valuable this country is to its geopolitical future?
War is not about one battle, it is about a series of battles to win the war. Isreal would not destroy a small force in Syria risk going to war with the strongest military in the world armed with nuclear missles.
It is a weak point and utterly meaningless since, as you say, Isreal is not going to risk doing this.
Well these two airforces were even behaving as “friends” until last week, which is partly what has caused the shootdown in the beginning.
S-400 is deployed in Latakia since 2015. At the same time, Israeli planes are allow to fly over. And at the same time, Syria is allowed to fire back with S-200. At the same time, an almost irreplaceably important ELINT plane with 15 airmen is flying between the “drive by shooting”.
It’s still not adequately explained, how strange the situation is.
All that was needed was a policy with S-400, that it was shutting down the airspace over Latakia.
Here’s a Danish F-16 on a truck in Copenhagen.
Many AFBs also allow taking off from the taxiway in the event the runway is damaged.
It’s a common fantasy of Russian-hardware fanboys that US+Allied airpower can be easily defeated by striking airbases. American critics of American warplanes contribute to this myth


"One great thing working with the county compared to other government funding is that Kalamazoo is still a small area," Belchek says. "We literally know the people that were working with at the county, and same with the city. I hope that this can be a thing that we look at every year."
"Since we finance the loans, we're not actually subject to those interest rates," Oakleaf says. "Legally, we have to charge some interest and so our standard rate is 0.25 percent. It's absolutely negligible. That's one of those ways in which we lose money over time because with inflation, we don't see the return of that investment. But that's one of the ways that we make it affordable for our homeowner partners."
Oakleaf says, "One misconception is that we take homeless people and put them in homes. That's not what we do. The folks that we're working with have to have income and have to be ready to take that final jump. It's taken us 40 years to build 200 houses. But that's still a pretty profound impact, especially in investing in the core neighborhoods of Kalamazoo."
Habitat for Humanity in Kalamazoo has a certain style of house that Oakleaf describes as "modest." He says, "We typically build one story that's fully accessible, so making sure that there aren't steps or tripping hazards, or anything like that. Our average house is going to be three bedrooms with 1,000 to 1,200 square feet, and our motto is to 'build better than code.'"

The underrepresentation of women and the gender pay gap in academia are prominent issues in the UK. Women, compared to male peers, earn less, occupy fewer top tier positions, and receive fewer grants and scholarships. Women occupy very few senior positions in academic positions in the UK, while female academics earn 12% less than their male counterparts.
This panel will explore these challenges and discriminatory practices women academics face in academia.


I often shout about Autumn Equinox as a time to pause and reflect; to soak up the reds and golds of the turning season and to sigh in the sun before it goes away.
This year, it feels a little condescending to do that. So many of us are struggling because of the current pandemic, either financially or emotionally, or sadly in many cases, physically due to ill health. I hope this equinox carries with it the energy you need to see you through your troubles, and hands to help where needed. May we be resilient during this turn of the wheel, but forgive ourselves and be kind to ourselves because there’s no precedent for this, and despite the cliché, it’s really okay to not be okay right now.
If all is well with you and yours, then that is joyous and long may it continue.

I hope you know who "singh bros" are. They are sons of a lady named Nimmi Singh who is the only daughter of Charan Singh, and it is well known that Charan loved her very much (as every father would normally do). So, Charan Singh was Nana (maternal grand father) of "singh bros", whom you are calling "CHORs" (thieves).
As everyone here knows, Charan Singh only appointed GSD as his successor.
Now, GSD is also son of Charan Singh's real sister. Brian Hines,
If singh bros disappear ------------> Charan will be sad. -------------> not good for GSD
Charan's grand children - singh brothers : indeed must make him feel real proud, just like their mother.
Ethics is indeed the top ranked virtue of the Singh clan. The old man Bhai Mohan Singh had lost it when he wept because he couldn't come to terms with the eithics of Parvinder Singh and Nimmi (Singh bros parentsr) and Malvinder has only raised the bar.
BTW what if things are not looking good for GSD because he stands up to Charan's ire and desire to burn his daughter and grand children

Traditional cigarettes are known to be very harmful to your health even if you smoke in moderation. This is why many smokers are turning to vaping as it provides a buzz similar to that of traditional cigarettes but without the danger of the chemicals in the smoke damaging your health. Vaping involves the use of electronic cigarettes, vape mods, and many people’s favorite, the disposable e-pipe, to get a hit of nicotinea popular way to smoke for many peoplesmoke their pipes and this intrigues many people nowadays. Pipe smoking has been revived with the introduction of the disposable e-pipe as many people aim to emulate the experience of smoking pipes.
Growing up, we used to look up to our grandparents and when they smoked their pipes, we viewed them as people of confidence, power, and wisdom. While traditional pipes may not be nearly as common anymore, the disposable e-pipe evokes the same memories.
What is a disposable e-pipe?
1 What is a disposable e-pipe?
1.2 What does a disposable e-pipe come with?
1.2.1 Why a disposable e-pipe?
A disposable e-pipe is an e-cig that looks like an e-pipe. There are varioussizes and styles including the disposable e-pipe. Just like other e-cigarettes, the disposable e-pipe lets you enjoywithout the dangers of dangerous carcinogens that are harmful to your health.
Just as the name indicates, the cartridges used in a disposable e-pipe are discarded once they have been used. An e-pipe functions as a vaporizer pipe for tobacco, eliminating the combustion of tobacco (which produces harmful chemicals). The Epuffer disposable e pipe is one of the best e-pipes on the market as it showcases elegance and class. Order one and get to relive the great memories of pipe smoking.
Ever since e-cigarettes were introduced, they have been the talk of the town. While they do contain tobacco and nicotine,. You can light up your e-cigarette pipe mod and enjoy your vape without being faced with as many health risks.
Many people now refer to the disposable e-pipe as the hardcore product in the world of e-cigarettes. The pipes come with cartridges pre-filled with e-liquids of different nicotine strengths. Depending on how quick you want to feel the hit, you can change your choice of cartridges at will.
What does a disposable e-pipe come with?
Disposable e-pipes have been designed in a similar way to traditional pipes, only they are electronic. Disposable e-pipe kits come with a pipe, atomized cartridges of varying nicotine strengths, an additional mouthpiece, and a USB charger for your pipe.
In order to use the device, you just insert the cartridge, switch on the mouthpiece and begin enjoying your vape. The pipe comes with a button that you hold when you want to inhale. Many disposable e-pipes glow red as you draw vapor simulating the look of burning tobacco in a traditional pipe.
Why a disposable e-pipe?
The use of traditional pipes somehow appears extinct although, ironically, many people still like them. If you walk around with vape mods that look like pipes, many people will be intrigued and some might ask to try them because of how authentic the device appears.
Disposable e-pipes come with a long-lasting battery. A fully charged device can last for weeks with moderate use. The cartridges also can last for between 5 and10 rounds depending on how many puffs you take. Replacing the cartridges is quite cheap as well.

For this blogpost, I’ll be doing the Your Story Tag. Unfortunately, I have no idea who created this tag originally. If you know, leave me a comment so I can give them credit 🙂
I can give you my synopsis that I came up with, but I don’t feel like it correctly portrays my story (yet) because I suck at writing them. Ah, well.
For centuries, faeries have inhabited both Gryia and Aizen. These two vastly different places have been the home of the most powerful faeries and their rulers. Twenty year-old Sophia Szulc has successfully dethroned her brother, Noel, and has plans to become the first Queen of the Fae. News of vampires breaking The Purity Treaty, which banned them from consuming fae blood, sends Sophia into the human world against her father’s orders to demand answers. Sophia learns that even the most frightening of creatures have monsters of their own.
3. Tell us about your characters.
How about main characters?
Sophia- Kicks ass (as previously mentioned), and worked hard to become first Queen of the Fae. She’ll do anything to maintain that role and loves her people very much.
Mateo- Main character who resents his immortality. Hates his father for reasons not entirely revealed in book one. Mateo yearns to do right by everyone and that can make him seem two-faced.
5. What is your favorite romance?
Haha, I can’t tell you. What fun would that be? But I do love one romance a lot more than the others!
A scene causing feelings of sadness is subjective. I think one scene, the death of a character, is the saddest scene. However, that’s due to my connection to it and not even necessarily based on the story.
7. What is your favorite scene?
Hint: it involves my favorite romance 😉
8. What is your opening scene?
9. How did this story come about?
While I have a theme that I’m portraying, I like when the reader finds that out for themselves.
11. What isn’t working in your story?
I’m in the first round of revisions and I’m removing a POV. It’s quite a pain, but it’s worth it 🙂
12. What is one thing you love about your story?
I hope you enjoyed this tag! If you have anything you’d like me to blog about, leave a comment below. 🙂

Those who've been following my XML tips for any length of time will recognize that I have a penchant for XML tools...
and that Altova's XMLSpy keeps popping up among my very favorites at least once a year. That's why I recently read about SQL Server Magazine's selection of this excellent toolset as a 2006 Editor's Choice Award Platinum Winner with some interest. Of course, this begs the entirely inevitable question of "Why would a database magazine award accolades to an XML content creation package?" The answer is, of course, that among its many outstanding features, XMLSpy 2006 includes some pretty powerful database interaction capabilities amidst its burgeoning bag of tricks and data handling tools. The language of the award also mentions XMLSpy's outstanding support for creating and editing XML and XSD documents, along with visual XML schema development capabilities, graphical WSDL development, schema-aware XQuery development and XML-to-relational database mapping, as well as generating Java, C# and C++ XML access code (including Visual Studio and Eclipse integration).
XMLSpy 2006 currently includes the following database related items and elements, which probably helped to attract notice and accolades during their award selection process:
Support for interacting with relational databases uses native interface languages, including Microsoft Access and SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, IBM DB2 and any other RDBMS that supports ADO or ODBC connectors.
Developers can connect to relational databases, generate XML schemas based on database structure and contents, import and export data into or out of database structures, and generate relational database structures from XML schemas as well.
Offers XML support for data modeling, editing and server administration for the Oracle XML DB that completely outstrips native Oracle tools and interfaces.
SQL Server XSD mapping schemas for SQL Server 2000 map directly into XMLSpy's own graphical XML schema editor.
Given these capabilities, along with other advanced data exchange functions, it's no wonder that XMLSpy 2006 earned top honors in this category. Likewise, given the ever-increasing importance of XML as a medium of data exchange, including in the database world, these kinds of capabilities should continue to help the product attract a broader audience.
XML's not just about documents, as this database connection so strongly attests. Ultimately, that's what makes this award so interesting to me, because it shows that XML capability counts for so much more than human-readable content nowadays.

There is a gradual shift from representing a species' genome by a single reference genome sequence to a pan-genome representation. Pan-genomes are the abstract representations of the genomes of all the strains that are present in the population or species. In this study, we employed a pan-genomic approach to analyze the intraspecific mitochondrial genome diversity of Fusarium graminearum. We present an improved reference mitochondrial genome for F. graminearum with an intron-exon annotation that was verified using RNA-seq data. Each of the 24 studied isolates had a distinct mitochondrial sequence. Length variation in the F. graminearum mitogenome was found to be largely due to variation of intron regions (99.98%). The "intronless" mitogenome length was found to be quite stable and could be informative when comparing species. The coding regions showed high conservation, while the variability of intergenic regions was highest. However, the most important variable parts are the intron regions, because they contain approximately half of the variable sites, make up more than half of the mitogenome, and show presence/absence variation. Furthermore, our analyses show that the mitogenome of F. graminearum is recombining, as was previously shown in F. oxysporum, indicating that mitogenome recombination is a common phenomenon in Fusarium. The majority of mitochondrial introns in F. graminearum belongs to group I introns, which are associated with homing endonuclease genes (HEGs). Mitochondrial introns containing HE genes may spread within populations through homing, where the endonuclease recognizes and cleaves the recognition site in the target gene. After cleavage of the "host" gene, it is replaced by the gene copy containing the intron with HEG. We propose to use introns unique to a population for tracking the spread of the given population, because introns can spread through vertical inheritance, recombination as well as via horizontal transfer. We demonstrated how pooled sequencing of strains can be used for mining mitogenome data. The usage of pooled sequencing offers a scalable solution for population analysis and for species level comparisons studies. This study may serve as a basis for future mitochondrial genome variability studies and representations.

Eve in 1980 performed in Zimbabwe and also released the popular track “Zimbabwe” to signify Independence for the country known as Rhodesia then.
30 Years after Marley’s show a producer named Jusa Dementor of Abra Records born and raised in the country produced a national anthem entitled “Rise Up Zimbabwe” by Wallace Wilson better known as Red Rat that uplifted the mainly ghetto youth and before long became one of the most played songs in the nation.
With Africans artists like P Square, D’banj, Wizkid and 2face are making their mark on the Music industry and being signed to major labels, it seems Abra Records are destined to do the same within the Reggae & dancehall scene. With a ‘never give up’ attitude, they have stepped up to the next level with their forthcoming project headed by Island Life Records, who noticed the young talent early.
On 1 July Island Life released a riddim compilation entitled Purplehayzz (link to listen here) with the music composed by Jusa Dementor & Abra Records with artists like Beenieman, Lady Saw, Kiprich, Taranchayla, ZJ Liquid, Kazz, Jusa, Roby Gee and many more. This Is certainly a historic moment as far as African music is concerned.
Based in the United Kingdom, Tawanda Sibotshiwe – better known as Jusa Dementor – is the producer, & main artist at A.B.R.A Records ( African Bred Recording Artists). He has won and been nominated for many international and regional awards for his music, his music production and video directing.
As a performing artist, Jusa has made diverse music fusing many genres and singing styles and Jamaica. Jusa is managed by Blackpearl PR and directed by Abra Simzz, CEO of Abra, a now familiar name in the dancehall circles.
Ever since Red Rat opened the door with the single “Rise Up Zimbabwe” they have gone on to work with Hawkeye, Don Yute, Voicemail,Ward 21 to mention a few. They released Two Riddims compilations earlier this year Own Class & Persian Ryder Riddim that created a buzz within the dancehall downloads sites. They are also behind a collaboration with Jamaica’s most popular group Voicemail and R2bees, one of Africa’s best groups from Ghana, with a track to be released later this summer which is also produced by Jusa & Abra Sim Records, African, Bob Marley, D'banj, dancehall, Ghana, Jusa Dementor, P Square, Purplehayzz, R2, R2Bees, reggae, Wizkid, Zimbabwe.

"He confronted the hand God dealt him with deep faith in Christ's resurrection, certainty of forgiveness and his own resurrection, great love for his wife and family, love for the church, and humor. The greatest gift was that he showed us how a Christian dies. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus."
"Rev. Mueller valued holding on to one another in Christ and working to reconcile our differences under the cross of Jesus," said the Rev. Timothy Scharr, Mueller's successor as the SID president. "This was at the core of the Koinonia Project he instituted. He wanted The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod to be confident and live out the faith that it so boldly confesses."
"At a district convention some years ago," said the Rev. Benjamin T. Ball, LCMS sixth vice-president, "I was 'hot and bothered' about some issue. He took me aside and reminded me that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord of the church, and that he will care for his people and shepherd the flock. And Herb showed me that he cared for me, not just the issue at hand. He wanted me to be at peace. And that has always stuck with me."
"He was the consummate pastor," Ball continued, "always trying to focus people on Christ, the Gospel, the Holy Scriptures. And he did that in so many ways, as a parish pastor, as a district president, and of course as Synod vice-president. His influence is going to be felt in the Synod for years and years to come."
"It's a sobering thing to read your own pathology report," he said. "When I read it, I thought, 'Well, God has a different repor' …That's what we have in Christ for us: God Himself showing up to suffer with us and for us, and to conquer even death by His resurrection."


One of the hardest things for me growing up was coping with the excess of Christmas. If I’m being honest, it was a depressing time of the year for me. I barely had enough of the necessities of life and came home from school every day to a tree that sat with nothing under it. Daily I would hear the kids in class ask each other and me what we were getting for Christmas and I would lie and say, “Probably clothes. I’m not sure.”
Shopping in years past has always been stressful for me. The struggle to find the perfect gift for people seemed to get worse each year. What do you get people who are, in many cases, already so blessed?Yet, isn’t that what you are supposed to do?
After Christmas was over this year, all I could feel is relief….and exhaustion. There was paper to clean up and boxes to throw away. Meals to cook and eat and I didn’t even want kids’ new stuff – half of which hasn’t even been touched. But once the worst of the messes was cleaned up, I realized that I was also feeling something else…sadness and dissatisfaction. I knew my frustration about the commercialism of Christmas, but how did God feel about it?
As I sat reading A.W. Tozer’s The Warfare of the Spirit I came to Chapter 14 Christmas Reformation Long Overdue. I find this article that he wrote particularly profound when you consider he passed away in 1963. “Yet Christmas as it is celebrated today is badly in need of a radical reformation. What was at first a spontaneous expression of an innocent pleasure has been carried to inordinate excess. t!n’t .”
Wow, this is it. This sums it up, this struggle I have been having. What I’ve been feeling is the grief of the Holy Spirit. There’s no way around it. This isn’t what Jesus would have wanted us all doing with our resources in celebration of His birth. Does he really think we all need more things or would he prefer that we, like St. Nicholas, be more concerned with helping the poor and needy?I believe what Jesus would prefer is that we seek out those in need and actually serve them….actively seek to meet the need. What are we trying to buy?What holes are we trying to fill?
I found some interesting information posted from a while back on the InternetWhat would it cost to solve world hunger?“As-$30 billion a year ” (The Borgen Project). I’m stunned. How is this even possible?

I’ll start off by saying this: there is no celebrity that is nicer than Matt Damon, period. I was beyond excited to meet him, being a huge fan ever since Good Will Hunting. We managed to get up to Matt on an evening when he was heading out to a political event in Washington. Before I go any further, I will provide you with my all time favorite Matt Damon quote, which I have in turn told celebrities. “If someone isn’t asking for your autograph, whether it be a fan or someone trying to sell it, you have a really big problem.” Matt’s belief is one that more celebrities have. The people asking for your autograph are the same people who are paying to see your movies. The people selling your autograph are the ones who tell their friends to see your movie and in turn, will probably see your movie just because you were nice to them. Matt will take as much time out of his day as possible to talk to every single fan, have a genuine conversation with and pose for as many photos as you want.
The next evening we went back mostly because Matt welcomed us to. He had an airport handler that tried to stop Matt from signing autographs saying, “c’mon guys, he just got off a late flight, it’s 2:30, leave him alone!” Matt looked at the guy and said “hey man, it’s 2:30am for them too you know? They came all the way out here for just for me.” At one point I was a little disorganized and couldn’t find the photos I wanted him to sign and Matt looked at me and said “Don’t worry sweetie, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll wait until you can find your photos!”Matt Damon. The classiest class act there’s ever been.


What's the Real Cost of The Nintendo Switch?
The Switch is being praised and scrutinized for it's incredibly low $299.99 price point, but there's a ton of hidden fees to be wary of.
The Nintendo Switch has a lot of people excited but a lot of people skeptical as well, and for rightful reasons. Whether you are hyped for or just sitting on the knowledge you have for the Switch, there is no doubt hidden costs within all the products that are either essential to or key helping hands in the enjoyment of the Switch. So what is the actual total cost? How much should one be prepared to spend to fully experience the Switch for what it is and in all of its glory?
Let’s first start with the basis that the Switch will launch on March 3rd, a time that is coming up rather fast. The retail price is $299.99 for the console and according to Nintendo everything you need is included in the box but the multiplayer gaming aspect of the Switch contains a lot more than may meet the eye and will be more convoluted and troublesome than what you may think.
Let’s start with some of the accessories and work our way towards the larger essentials just to cover some basis on what you don’t need but may very well want to pick up. The first item on the list is the charging grip. This is something that the out of box Switch only comes with one Joy-Con Grip. This device connects the two Joy-Con controllers and forms a more traditional controller design for players. With only one coming with the console, if you have any friends over or have anyone that wants to play locally with you, they’re going to not need, but prefer to use something that doesn’t destroy their hands for a simple task. This device will end up costing you around $30 give or take some for local taxes and sales you may find.
Next up on the chopping block is the Switch Pro controller. This is a ghastly $69.99 and all for what, a mere redesign of a controller? It may seem as such but the Pro controller is supposed to offer support to players who are used to a more traditional controller design, for example the Xbox One or Dual Shock controllers with their button layouts and D-Pad locations. The Switch’s current design isn’t too accommodating to players who decide to try out the controller similarities so the guys at Nintendo built this contraption. It will resemble a traditional controller but why the massive markup? There’s been no clarity on the reasoning but knowing Nintendo, it may be some incredibly “unique” and Switch specific functions, perhaps geared towards the motion control. Regardless, it gets rather pricey for this unit rather fast.
Another rather astonishing price tag you may find across your shopping is another pair of Joy-Con controllers. Selling for $49.99 each or at $79.99 per pair, you may not need an extra pair but one of the main titles teased was that of the game Arms, which requires multiplayer on a local scale. How do you think you’re going to play that game without an extra set of Joy-Con controllers? Yepp, it’s time to shell out even more cash for extra controllers, which one again are rather pricey compared to other controllers on the market. Also, buying solo may create some issues as there’s differences between the right and left controllers which many may find rather irritating to have to deal with.
Perhaps the largest of things that baffles us on the required upgrade scale is that of the internal memory. We live in an age of massive amounts of data and storage is a must. However, the Switch only comes with 32GB of built in storage… 32GB. While it’s not even an intensive game storage wise,rather interesting perspective for how little this is. Zelda will require 13.4GB of space on the Switch. That is just under 50% of the storage allotted with the console at release and right out of the box. Depending on the cards that you decide to upgrade, the pricing will vary. That said, you don’t need to once again upgrade this but unless you plan on installing only 2 games at a time, it’d be recommended that is something to upgrade.
If you tally all of this up, the price tag comes out a bit higher than that $299.99 as expected. Instead, if you add everything together plus of course your games which will run you around $60 each, your grand total will be somewhere in the range of $550, which give or take the amount for upgrades and certain options is still way higher than the anticipated price. The worst part is that it only climbs higher and higher as more accessories come out and as more things are introduced like the multiplayer services. While there’s much skepticism in the community around the Switch, with details like this, it’s pretty clear that it’s warranted.	Jordan Gable


Barry's Amusements facts for kids
"LET THE FUN BEGIN"
16 Eglinton Street, Portrush, County Antrim, Northern Ireland
Barry's Amusements is an amusement park in Northern Ireland. It isformer attractions
In 1925,familie on a site beside the railway station. The name 'Barry's' is based on an early supplier (Barr). Barry's maintains a mixture of traditional and modern amusements. Barry's was unable to open for the 2020 season.
Barry's opens on a seasonal basis, normally Barry's has a long-standing reputation of providing jobs for teenagers in the local area; rides are operated by older members of staff but the ride attendants are mostly school going teenagers.date August 2014}
A book, Fun is Our Business, was published by Colourpoint Books in 2006 to celebrate Barry's 80th anniversary.
A BBC NI documentary, Your Place and Mine, was filmed about Barry's in 2006; it was aired around October of the same year.
Barry's Express 2008 Barry's Express is a children's train ride brought in for the 2008 season. It is a train with three carriages that travels around a circular track, with swaying carriages and music. It is themed to Thomas the Tank Engine.
Big Apple 1999 The Big Apple is a children's roller coaster themed to a caterpillar. The ride takes the passengers through a giant apple, and two rotations are given as the ride is quite short.
In 2010, the ride was refurbished and renamed to Speedy Mouse, with the roller coaster carts designed to look like Speedy Gonzales. The track was kept the same and the apple structure remained. It has since reverted to the original caterpillar theme.
Carousel 1964 The carousel "seats" are in the form of wooden horses, which are moved mechanically up and down to simulate galloping. This particular carousel is boasted to be over 100 years old.
Extreme Orbiter 2018
Ghost Train 1968 The dark ride consists of a train that moves quite slowly through a darkened tunnel decorated with horror related items (e.g. models of skeletons, witches and ghosts). "Spooky" music and/or sound effects are played through the ride. It was updated in 2018 with bigger and better scares like Count Dracula and The Grim Reaper.
Jumping Astro 2012 The Jumping Astro is a Drop Towerthe vertical tower then released to free-fall down the tower, in this particular tower the riders "bounce" several times.
Mini Dodgems The mini dodgems are the kids equivalent to the dodgems. The speed is reduced and the cars are smaller to allow young children to reach the foot pedals and steering wheel.
Monte Carlo The Monte Carlo is a kids ride in Barry's it has a variety of vehicles mounted on a circular platform which spins in a circle to make it feel like the child is driving their chosen vehicle. The Ride got an update in 2015.
Turtle Splash 2006 The Turtle Splash is a mini log flume designed for children. The logs in which the passengers sit are designed as turtles to fit into the theme of the ride.
Experience 2006-2016 Experience was one of Barry's main thrill rides, brought in to replace the Satellite. The ride was similar to the popular fairground attraction Orbiter. It was removed in the beginning of 2016 and replaced by the Airborne Shot.
Freak out 2003-2017 The Freak Out was a pendulum-based fairground ride. The riders sat fa During motion, the pendulum climbed to a maximum angle of 120° and reached a height of 22 metres (72 ft.). Whilst swinging, the chairs rotated around the axis of the pendulum. It got replaced by the Extreme Orbiter in 2018.

A campaign group has said it hopes plans to build more than 1,000 homes on greenbelt land in Guildford will be removed from the local plan following an announcement that the document is to be revisited.
This week, the borough council said the new local plan will no there willThe draft local plan identified areas which could be developed up until 2033, which included 1,800 at Blackwell Farm next to the University of Surrey's Manor Park campus.
Responding to the delay, a spokesman for the Save The Hogs Back group said: "Save Hogs Back is pleased that the council has decided to revisit the local plan.
"We fully expect that Blackwell Farm will be removed, especially now that new information has been presented to the council which shows that the site meets Natural England's criteria for Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
"The Hog's Back is a key feature of Guildford and studies have repeatedly shown that Blackwell Farm should be given protection in order to conserve this landscape for future generations.
Other major sites proposing thousands of homes earmarked in the draft local plan include the Former Wisley Airfield, Gosden Hill Farm, and a plot of land between Normandy and Flexford.
Guildford Borough Council leader Paul Spooner announced on Thursday (October 27) the council would not meet a deadline of submitting the draft plan to the government's planning inspectorate this December, while a third public consultation will now take place next June.
The council said the delay would give the local authority further time to consider the 32,000 comments submitted from July’s consultation as well as consider the effect, if any, on Brexit.

This year's "Kennedy Center Honors" show begins by honoring itself. An announcer hails it as "television's most honored program," shameless naked hype lacking the dignity and class that the "Honors" are supposed to embody. Sadly, in its 22nd year, the "Honors" show seems less honorable than it used to.
There's an odd pall over the CBS special--tonight at 9 on Channel 9--and even a pall over the pall. The whole thing's a veritable bearer of pall, even though its five recipients are demonstrably, and fortunately, alive. The gang consists ofcomical pianist Victor Borge, composer-singer Stevie Wonder and the very Scottish actor Sean Connery.
Shouldn't the "Honors" show recognize Americans--native or naturalized--who've made notable contributions to the performing arts? Connery is a Scotsman and became world-famous for a series of British-made James Bond pictures. As if to emphasize that rather than play it down, producer George Stevens Jr. fills the aisles of the Kennedy Center Opera House with squawky bagpipers when it's time for Connery's tribute.
Of all the recipients sitting in boxes near President and Mrs. Clinton, Connery appears to take the most pleasure from the praise--pleasure that borders on unseemly, whether puffing out his chest or dancing a jagged jig. So he was the best James Bond, big deal! The rest of his career isn't exactly awe-inspiring. Remember "Zardoz"? No? Oh, rent it sometime. You'll split a gut.
Maybe the "Honors" show just hews too rigidly to its creaky format. Host Walter Cronkite seems not to be wearing his tuxedo so much as to be gripped in its jaws. In narrating the tribute to Jamison, actor Morgan Freeman sounds almost as lifeless as if he were reading an eye chart. Enervation afflicts the production like a flu bug.
Kevin Spacey begins the tribute to Robards and is joined onstage by Alfred Molina, likable Matthew Broderick and Jake Robards, one of the veteran actor's acting sons. It looks as if young Robards is going to get something affectingly emotional going. But nope, instead it's "Another Op'nin,' Another Show," from the current Broadway revival of Cole Porter's "Kiss Me Kate."
Surely you remember Robards as Kate in that gay Porter romp.
It would have made more sense to sing a few choruses of "Yessir, That's My Baby," as Robards did so shaggily yet endearingly in the charming movie comedy "A Thousand Clowns," reprising a role he'd done on Broadway. Next to his growly triumph in "All the President's Men," that was probably Robards's best screen performance.
The Connery tribute begins with this overly intimidated encomium from actress Catherine Zeta-Jones: "I had the pleasure of traveling to Rome for my first meeting with Sean Connery.  Is the woman insane?
Christopher Plummer does a nice job saluting Borge, the great Danish-born prankster-pianist. Clips of Borge include a couple from an early TV special in which he cavorts with opera star and good sport Lauritz Melchior. Strangely, Borge's most famous routine, his "musical punctuation" bit, isn't included.
Later, 26 impressive young musicians, mostly violinists, from a Harlem school of the arts play in salute to Borge, but one of the numbers is the country-western ditty "Orange Blossom Special." Huh? The suspicion lingers that producer Stevens calls upon young musicians from a Harlem school and an army of amateur bagpipers and, on past shows, college glee clubs and the like partly because such groups work cheap, help keep production costs down and are thrilled to be on TV.
Stevens always makes sure to unleash a squadron or two of cute kiddies to make everybody feel warm and cozy inside. He has used the same tricks so often that "Kennedy Center Honors" borders on self-parody. It also more than borders on boredom.
Wonder gets the biggest tribute. Coretta Scott King reads words of praise, and Wonder songs are sung--not very wonderfully--by Smokey Robinson, Diane Schuur and the group Take Six. Quincy Jones conducts a finale of "We Are the World," that cloying fund-raiser from years gone by.
Clinton's his usual telegenic self in reaction shots, one of which finds him bouncing along with the gospel rouser "Rocka My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham" from the Alvin Ailey dance masterpiece "Revelations." Clinton is, like Ronald Reagan, terrific at appearing to have a good time. This year's "Honors" may be the toughest test that talent has ever been put to.


Identifying critical performance indicators and suitable partners using a benchmarking template

– Overall, the UK’s representationdeclined since 2011. The basic rationale of the project is to improve performance of universities generally and their standings in rankings particularly. The paper aims to discuss these issues.
– The key research questions of this study ask which performance indicators should be improved and which benchmarking partners should be chosen. Two selected universities have been chosen as featured case studies to illustrate the proposed template.
– A user-friendly template for benchmarking has been developed as a tool for self-evaluation and self-improvement by having a systematic comparison of appropriate measures of performance among the universities in the UK. The template can be extended by identifying internal and external benchmarking partners for the corresponding indicators.
– There is more work to be done during and after the formal benchmarking activity which has not been addressed in the template.
– This is a practical approach. It is very simple to be implemented for self-evaluation and self-improvement.
– Once completed it will help institutions to assess their performance, identify areas for benchmarking and select internal and external partners.
– This is a new and practical approach. The proposed template is designed to be used before the formal benchmarking activities or site visits.

Over the year 2008 to the year 2015, the population of Ukraine have been observed to decline due to the large number of older people. In the year 2013, the population stood at about 45.59 million people as compared to the year 2010 Ukraine have in turn affected the labour market of the country whereby the country has over the years experienced lack of labour in addition to higher rates of unemployment. The labour markett 8.90% compared to the previous year 8.60%. As of the year 2015, about 524.4 (thousands) of Ukraine citizens were unemployed compared to the year 2014 on April when the figure stood at about 474.7 (thousands) unemployed personsalso c).
It was also observed between the year 2008 and 2015 that the level of poverty in the country increased from 7.1% in the year 2008 to about 9.1% by the year 2012. The increase in the level of poverty can be attributed to the increase in inflation which rose from about 24.90% in the year 2014 to about 28.50% in the year 2015. The increase inflation also caused an increase in the core consumer prices, which increased from 122.80 in 2014 to 126.10 in 2015 (The World Bank Group, 2015). This meant that the affordability of food became an issue resulting in poor living standards and the consumers have to pay more prices for basic needs such as food.
Furthermore, there has beene number of people attending schools in Ukraine has been observed to increase over the years whereby in the year 2012, the percentage of the population seeking for education reached about 106%. This indicates that the Ukraine society have embraced education in large numbers to gain skills which can allow them to get employment in other regions across the world (Trading economics.com, 2015).
