Although typically when we read into the world's best surfing spots we find ourselves being sent towards the west coast of the United States of America, Australia or to Bali on Java in Indonesia but the reality is that there are a great many amazing surfing spots in Europe. That's why we have created this guide to the amazing surf spots in Europe.
From the United Kingdom to Spain from France to Portugal the surf in western Europe can be pretty spectacular when it wants to be! Traveling through Europe on the hunt for the best surfing spots would be a great way to spend your holiday in Europe and may find yourself never wanting to come home! Some of the places might be kind of pricey but definitely worth spending, so no excuses here!
Check out: Best Camps for Beginners & Advanced Surfers in Europe!
The weather in Europe is unpredictable at the best of times but if you get a good sunny day you could easily be in Bali or the Sunshine Coast of Australia for the waters are oh so very blue, clear and believe it or not even warm too!
If you are good enough you may find yourself touted to come and teach at one of the many surf schools along the coasts of Spain, France and Portugal. This is a great way to travel around Europe, see the world and teach what you are passionate about!
Peniche in Portugal has for many years been one of the most popular surfing destinations in Europe at it is not hard to see why. Peniche is very easy to access for there are many budget airlines like EasyJet and RyanAir that fly to many destinations within Europe for a very reasonable price. If you want to bring your own board then you will find yourself forking out a small fortune as budget airlines are famed for their stinging bagging prices.
Nevertheless, there are over 200 different surf schools in Peniche and ample beach from which to learn the ropes before you head out onto the water.
When? – The main season for surfing in Peniche runs from September through to October.
Lots of empty beaches and amazing landscapes won't let you down. The waves are suitable for all levels of surfers so just find a spot that suits you best. The locals are not the friendliest but if you respect their culture and mind your own business you won't have any problems. You should definitely visit, Sagres won't leave you disappointed.
When? – the season is all year long but winter can deliver some pretty awesome uncrowded days.
When we think of Spain we think of flamenco and bull-fighting, not necessarily surfing but rest assured that Spain is home to some of the best surfing locations in the world, not just in Europe and San Sebastian is no exception. The best time of the year for surfing in San Sebastian is in the winter months, the water is not as cold as in Cornwall, England but it is still pretty chilly. San Sebastian itself is nothing particularly special, quite built up with tourist resorts but that's not what we're about, we are about the surf, right?
When? – The surf in San Sebastian is best in the winter months of November and December. The temperatures sit around twenty degrees so not too cold to cope!
Accessible from the city of Bilbao, Mundaka is another of Spain's amazing surf spots. The surf is best in autumn and in spring and the tepid waters are a joy to be in. The beaches around Mundaka are perfectly clean with soft creamy sand. After a long day out on the water hang out in one of the many beachside bars and cafes and enjoy a freshly caught fish dinner washed down with some classic Spanish sangria.
When? – The best times to head to Mundaka for surfing are March and April and September and October.
Watergate Bay, like Sennen Cove, can be found in the county of Cornwall in south west England. Watergate Bay is far more popular with holiday-makers and tourists than Sennen Cove and as such you will find yourself battling for space on in the surf in the summer high season. That said, the best surf at Watergate Bay rises in the autumnal months of September and October. Watergate Bay and Sennen Cove are a short drive from each other so if you are heading to Cornell be sure to check out both spots and compare notes!
Sennen Cove is one of the United Kingdom's best kept secrets. Sennen Cove can be found nestled away in the most southerly county of England, Cornwall. Surfing in the Atlantic Ocean can be bitterly cold at times so make sure that you bring your full suit with you!
Sennen Cove offers a good few surf schools too for those who want to learn how to surf or brush up on their skills. The surf at Sennen Cove is good for beginners in the summer, if you can deal with the busy beach that is.
When? – The best surf season for pros at Sennen Cove peaks between September and October.
Again, when we think of France we think of fine wines and Parisian cafes but Biarritz confidently makes the grade as one of the top ten amazing surf spots in Europe. Like with most places in Europe, during the summer months of June, July and August you will have to battle with the crowds for some half decent surf but, again, the best time to surf in Biarritz is in the winter months of October through to December. For those looking to learn how to surf in a great location with easy waves the Biarritz is the place to go in the summer!
Sticking with France our list of amazing surf spots now takes us to wonderful Lacanau tucked away in the south west of France on the Atlantic coast. The small town of Lacanau has a typically French feel about it and is a great place to hang out for the summer if you want a relaxed and hassle free existence in Europe. Not as popular as other French beach resorts Lacanau is a hidden gem of this western European nation. Lacanau has some wonderful beaches too with some great sand dunes to run down too if you fancy releasing your inner child!
When? – The top months for surfing in Lacanau are January and December when the rideable waves are in excess of 70% consistently.
Hossegor is arguably the best surfing spot in France. Hugely popular with local border and international travelers Hossegor is a must visit! If you choose to head to Hossegor then you are in luck, you can kill two birds with one stone and ride the waves at Biarritz too for it is just a short 43km drive away. Like with Sennen Cove and Watergate Bay remember to keep notes to pass on to your fellow surfers.
When? – October, November and December are the months when the surf at Hossegor peaks.
Many people think the Canary Islands are their own country and in many ways they are but they are firmly in the Spanish jurisdiction. If you want to eat, drink, chill, surf and meet like-minded travelers then The Bubble is the place to do it. A popular spot with backpackers making their way around Europe The Bubble is the complete package. What is more there are a tonne of cheap and friendly hostels to stay here too meaning you can stay for a long time and a good time too!
When? – The best surf at The Bubble spans a lengthy few months from November through to February.
Playa De Las Americas is lovely town of Tenerife Island which is the main spot for surfing but also for tourism. Therefore, you can start from there but spend some other days in more secret spots. Life there is quite affordable, even during the main season. It has perfect all year long climate which makes it ideal surfing destination for Europeans in Winter. Outside temperatures are between 22-28°C and water temperatures usually around 19-23°C and that's pretty dope, right?
As a highlight, you could consider the view you get while sitting on the board in the water waiting for your wave. Tenerife has the 3rd highest volcano on the island in the world and you can enjoy some seriously stunning views from there.
When? Main season for PROs picks up from October until February. For beginners it's ideal ALL YEAR AROUND.
When? – As with Cornwall in England, the best season for surfing in Ireland is autumn, between September and October.
Sardinia has so many surfing spots you can't imagine. It has the most consistent waves on the Mediterranean sea so you can't go wrong with choosing it for your surfing holiday. During the summer you can chill on the beaches on the sunny days and enjoy the waves on the windy ones. It also has many cultural monuments and hiking trails you can explore while you are on the island.
When? – the best time to surf in Sardinia is winter.

Most existing air conditioning units waste a significant part of the consumed electricity because they are not controlled in a smart way. They use old and quite inefficient technology. Although improved technology has become available in more expensive systems (e.g. inverter technology), the payback time of these systems is still very long and most of this technology is not suitable as an easy and economical aftermarket fit to existing systems.
Making these air conditioning systems more energy efficient is by far the quickest, most affordable and most effective way to reduce your CO2 emissions and lower your energy bill.
In the light of today's energy problems, global warming and since older and not so advanced aircon systems will be in use for many more years in large numbers, we have analysed various existing energy saving techniques for air conditioning systems and reviewed plenty of earlier research. The conclusion was that detecting the system's efficiency and switching the compressor accordingly is probably the only effective, pragmatic and economical measure to achieve a better energy efficiency. There is no "free lunch" with any retrofit, but these savings come at no or only very small decreases in cooling comfort.
Often copied, never reached. The AIRCOSAVER is the genuine original that has been setting the standard in its product category ever since the introduction of the first AIRCOSAVER generation back in 2001.
Instead of investing a lot of money into an expensive new air conditioning system, there is an easy and affordable way to improve the energy efficiency of your existing unit: Upgrade it with an AIRCOSAVER.

SEMINOLE RECONSIDERS POISONED SITE FOR SCHOOL
Dave Weber, Sentinel Staff WriterTHE ORLANDO SENTINEL
SANFORD -- Officials are reconsidering plans to build a Seminole County elementary school on land laced with arsenic and other pollutants because it might be too expensive to clean up and parents aren't convinced the site will be completely safe.
Construction of a new Midway Elementary School at the abandoned UF agricultural experimentation station east of town is scheduled to begin this spring. School Board members were told earlier this month that plans are on track to open the school in fall 2006 on the land offered free by the state.
But newly appointed Deputy Superintendent George Kosmac said he is reviewing the decision to build on the poisoned property that runs from Lake Monroe south across Celery Avenue to 20th Street.
"We are taking a look at the cost benefits of that site. And there are environmental concerns, too," Kosmac said.
Kosmac said he would meet with Superintendent Bill Vogel, who has backed using the site based on earlier information, in the next few days to consider whether to go ahead with the project or pick a new location for the school, which serves mostly low-income and minority students.
Arsenic and other pesticides were spilled or dumped on the land during its 70 years as an outdoor laboratory to improve the celery grown in muck farms that once dotted the area.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection, which is in charge of cleaning up the property, has recommended the district replace the top 2 feet of soil on the 15-acre school site, which is the most polluted part of the 65-acre parcel.
With the section abutting 20th Street going for the school, the county would use the remainder of the land as a wetlands retention area and possibly a public park.
Dianne Kramer, former deputy superintendent of Seminole County schools, estimated the cost of replacing the soil at about $350,000. But Kosmac said he is reworking the estimate, which could be low.
Kosmac said officials have a lead on another nearby site. He would not disclose its location.
The $11 million school will replace Midway Elementary, a 40-year-old facility that is a remnant of the county's segregated school system.
The state is spending about $2 million to determine what poisons are on the property and remove the worst of them. A $700,000 cleanup of "hot spots" is set to begin in March, but the school district is responsible for wholesale removal of earth.
John Armstrong, a geologist with the Department of Environmental Protection who is working on the project, said the state can't afford to replace so much dirt, and he understands why the district is having second thoughts.
"Moving all of that earth is not cheap, so they will have to do calculations on whether it is cost-effective," Armstrong said.
Armstrong told school officials in a memo last winter that their plan to use the tainted land as a school site was "alarming." The property can be made safe, he said, but would be a "public-relations issue."
Midway parents, who are desperate for a new facility, have not objected to the site. But some still have reservations.
"Even if they do their best to clean it up, you don't know if chemicals are going to leach back up from the ground," said Leslie McGilvray, who has a son and a daughter at the school, a magnet for the arts.
Although school district and state officials are confident the cleanup will make the site safe, that guarantee is qualified. Groundwater could remain polluted, and monitoring wells will be installed to double-check.
Tests showed high levels of arsenic in several spots, running to more than 50 times acceptable levels at one checkpoint. Arsenic is deadly if enough is ingested, and long-term contact through eating, drinking, breathing or touching it can lead to a slew of illnesses including cancer.
Tests of the site also turned up DDT, copper, toxaphene, dieldrin, chlordane and other pesticides, with arsenic and toxaphene, now banned for fear it causes cancer, of most concern to officials. If the arsenic- and toxaphene-laden soil is removed, most of the other chemicals will be eliminated as well, officials said.

First of all, the 'being tall to model' issue usually refers to women age 15 to 25 who are primarily fashion models that model clothing and the latest designer fashions for print and runway. And this also pertains to men age 15 to 25 that model designer fashions and clothing for print and runway. The height requirement for women is usually 5'8" to 5'11" to be a fashion model and to be body proportionate which means that the height and weight have to coincide as it pertains to body mass. For men, the height requirement is generally 5'11" to 6'2" to model clothing and must also be height and weight proportionate as it pertains to body mass. It is suggested that models that are taller look better in the clothing because it seems to flow better off of the human body therefore not gapping or wrinkling. So, for fashion models, tall and thin seems to be the industry requirement.
However, not to worry my shorter friends!! There are so many other types of modeling in the world today such as commercial and lifestyle modeling and video acting. This refers to all types of product and service bookings for print modeling and acting for video. Commercial and lifestyle projects are extremely broad based especially in the world of social media today for website, Facebook, Instagram etc. But print modeling can also still include more traditional work for catalogs, magazines, newspapers, point-of-sale material, packaging, billboards, book covers, pamphlets etc. Acting for a video is also very popular in the world of social media for YouTube, Facebook, website, etc. but can also pertain to more traditional acting for video for projects such as TV commercials, demonstration videos, music videos, industrial, corporate and pharmaceutical videos, in-house training videos, fitness videos etc. Commercial and lifestyle modeling and acting jobs generally do not have height and weight requirements for adults and teens, as long as the body is proportionate and fits the specs that the client is looking for. Acting for videos can be speaking or non-speaking roles.
In child and baby modeling there is generally not a height requirement at all, but talent should also be height and weight proportionate, and must also fit the specs and requirements that the client is looking for.
Finally, the most important thing is that a talent be completely honest and realistic about their height and weight. Especially when completing interview forms and resumes that ask for current height and weight. Before going on auditions, go see's, screen tests or any other appointments where you will be meeting a potential agent or client, a talent should be completely prepared with accurate height, weight, sizes and measurements. Measurements for females especially teens and adults are bust, waist, hips and for male talent should include neck, sleeve, chest, waist and inseam. You will look like much more of a professional if you are prepared with this information and if you are 100% accurate. Agents and clients will eventually find out if you have been less than accurate and this could be detrimental to your relationship with them. So just be honest!!

Final Fantasy XIV Picture Book Follows Namazu and Odder Otter
By Stephanie Liu May 8, 2021
Square Enix has started sales of a first-ever official picture book based on MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. It is titled Final Fantasy XIV's Picture Book: Namazu and Something No One Has Ever Seen Before. It will cost 1,300 JPY (approximately $12). The book is currently available from the Square Enix online store. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
The premise of the book is that a drought is affecting the small village of Namazu. A Namazu must show an Odder Otter "something no one has ever seen before" in order to get them to make it rain. The search starts from figuring out what the Namazu should even go find.
The author of Namazu and Something No One Has Ever Seen Before is Banri Oda, who is in charge of the game's main scenario and world lore creator. The illustrator is Hiroyuki Nagamine, who handles character concept design for Final Fantasy XIV. Though the source game has an ESRB rating of T and a CERO rating of C, the book's simple and happy story is written for children.
Final Fantasy XIV's Picture Book: Namazu and Something No One Has Ever Seen is available in the Square Enix online shop but there is currently no news about an English localization. A physical photobook for in-game screenshots is also available in Japan. Final Fantasy XIV is immediately available on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and OS X.

DIMER Week Four Preview: May 28
by aarontfox May 28, 2020 June 1, 2020
written by aarontfox May 28, 2020 June 1, 2020
Teams look to climb out of the basement on the third night of NBA 2K League week four action, with three winless teams taking to the sticks and just one series featuring two teams above .500. Games tonight are viewable on ESPN2, ESPN.com and the ESPN App, as well as the NBA 2K League's Twitch and YouTube channels.
Check out the standings heading into tonight's action.
Lakers Gaming (0-6) vs. Grizz Gaming (0-4), 7 p.m. EST
Lakers Gaming fell to 0-6 last night after blowing two fourth quarter leads to the new-look Pistons. Mootyy made his season debut on a two-way stretch at power forward, but failed to make an impact, recording just two points and four rebounds during the series. Sav continued to score at will, averaging 45 points per game, but other Lakers role players were unable to chip in offensively. With point guard Sav already suggesting this will be another series hosted on East servers, will we see Lakers Gaming begin their season winless through seven?
The Grizz have had early season woes of their own, failing to win a series in four tries. Blockbuster offseason acquisition Goofy hasn't quite panned out yet. Point guard Vandi, while averaging nearly 28 points per game, has struggled with efficiency (40% from three) and taking care of the ball. The Memphis schedule wasn't forgiving, as the team was forced to play Kings Guard, Raptors Uprising, and Hawks Talon to begin the season. Are the 0-6 Lakers exactly what the Grizz need to turn around their season?
Key Matchup: Lakers vs. Fourth Quarter
Realistically, the Lakers should have a few wins on their record, but the fourth quarter hasn't been forgiving for LA. The team is losing the fourth by an average of 6 points, the second-worst mark in the league, behind only the struggling 76ers.
Gen.G Tigers (2-3) vs. Bucks Gaming (2-3), 7 p.m. EST
Gen.G, despite being swept, played the reigning champions tight last night. In game one, the team was down one point entering the fourth, but pulled a Lakers Gaming and lost by 13. In game two, Gen.G pulled off a late run of its own, forcing overtime, but ultimately fell short in the extra frame. ShiftyKaii, the No. 5 pick, has been impressive for the expansion franchise, averaging 35 points and 8 assists per game heading into the team's second matchup of week four. Playing a Bucks Gaming team with pronounced defensive issues, ShiftyKaii should take advantage and pour in plenty of points.
This will be Bucks Gaming first series since… well, you know. Last time out, the Bucks team defense (no, it's not all on Ty), was virtual swiss cheese, as Blazer5 point guard MamaImDatMan averaged 50 points per game in their series. Tonight, Bucks Gaming will face off against talented rookie ball-handler ShiftyKaii. If the defense hasn't figured out its problems, it could be another long night for the Bucks, as Shifty has no issue scoring against weak defensive coverage.
Key Matchup: ShiftyKaii vs. Regg
Arguably the 2020 draft's two best point guards go head to head tonight. Which rookie can score points most efficiently while still taking care of the ball for his team?
Jazz Gaming (1-0) vs. Kings Guard Gaming (3-2)
After finishing 8-8 last year, Jazz Gaming made its season three debut last week with a win over Magic Gaming. While Splashy, drafted No. 10 overall in 2020, had an inconsistent shooting night, he was backed by a deep supporting cast. Former first-round picks Lotty, Compete, and Ria accounted for 95 of the team's 127 total points. That type of production may be necessary against the Kings, who entertained viewers with a dramatic last second win against Grizz Gaming.
Sacramento's success has also hinged on the production of their own first round picks. Lockdown defender Crush, the third overall pick in 2020, continued his efficient shooting and bedevilment of opposing point guards last week. Taken 17th overall, point guard Bash looks to continue his fearless play against the Jazz, who are intent on improving their defensive production from a year ago in a West Coast clash of two strong teams.
Key Matchup: Ria vs. Dat Boy Shotz
Ria's momentum from last year carried over into his season three opener, where he finished with fantasy basketball-esque numbers. The former No.1 pick did not quite meet expectations early in his rookie season and is driven to flip the script this year. Up next is a date with Kings Guard center Dat Boy Shotz, who is averaging a double-double in points and rebounds. Paired with Crush in pick-and-roll defense, his 1.8 steals and 1.4 blocks per game helps explain why the Kings are so good in the fourth quarter this season.
Heat Check Gaming (1-4) vs. 76ers GC (0-6)
Both Heat Check Gaming and 76ers GC are at a crossroad, and tonight's matchup could steer the two teams in opposite directions.
Miami finally earned its first win of the season against Grizz Gaming. Their stagnant offense received a facelift last week, with rookie point guard GlennRatty finding the perfect balance between looking for his own shot and involving his team. Glenn is averaging 5.3 assists per game, and the continued increase in that number will likely correlate with future success for the team as a whole.
For a moment, it appeared as if the 76ers found their confidence after taking a game from T-Wolves Gaming in a 2019 title rematch. But any momentum from that series, however, was lost after dropping two straight to Pacers Gaming and Gen.G last week. Entering the 2020 season, the 76ers were the winningest team in league history, and now, without a single win to their name in season three, Philadelphia is swimming through uncharted waters desperately seeking a win onto which to cling.
Key Matchup: 76ers supporting cast vs. Heat Check supporting cast
We know how dynamic Radiant and GlennRatty are at point guard, so tonight's matchup could be determined by what their teammates contribute instead. Look for Scretty to relieve any pressure off Radiant, and the 76ers have needed Steez to step up his game all season. We know what we'll get from Hotshot, but if two of TBShiftay, Delusion, or King Peroxide can efficiently cross the double-digit scoring threshold, then Miami may end the night with a two-game winning streak.

Tales from the Aca-Deca Competition
We left Fairbanks at 6am Wednesday (Feb 20) morning. The team was (surprisingly) awake and ready for the 8 hour bus ride to Anchorage. This year, we took 11 students down to compete in the State Tournament for Academic Decathlon. Our Honors students were Michael Johnson, Trevor Christian, and Jess Reed. Our Scholastic students were Bryan Coty, Brighton Higbee, and Preston Walsh. Our Varsity students were Jade Benbow and Jean-Paul Brown. This year we had 3 alternates: Oscar Oravec, Aaron Falcon, and Koa Rosales. All but Michael, Trevor, Bryan, and Jade were new to competing on the main team this year!
We competed in Division II (against Hutch, Valdez, and Galena). The bus ride down was great. Monroe, West Valley, and Hutch all shared a bus. We got a lot of compliments for our students being on time and friendly! In Anchorage, our students really showed the best side of themselves. They studied, ate, and hung out as a team. Mr. DiTommaso and myself could not be more proud of them! From rallying support for one another when the nerves got to be too much, to just lightening the mood with a rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody down 4th Avenue in Anchorage (at the top of their lungs…), they stuck together. Mr. DiTommaso also took 7 of our team to an escape room Saturday afternoon. They escaped with 30 seconds left to spare!!
The Awards banquet was Saturday evening. After a somewhat rough showing at Super Quiz on Friday, we were unsure of our overall score for the Division.

Yesterday, I went to La Boqueria market and took some more pictures. For those who were interested in images that were more on the report side and less on the artistic one here is a general view of a seafood stand. There are others with more fish but I thought you would like to see the shells and some people buying stuff. Once more, there's a contradiction here: my first impulse would be to show only those beautiful gigantic shells from a close distance but you want to see more of the market. I understand. Maybe a little bit of everything is better. When you capture all the scene then you start getting some noise, like a bottle, a box, people talking on the right, a man turning his back on us, etc. But then again this blog is meant to please you more than myself. If not it would be a monologue.
This is rather fishy, though...and I wonder what you'd have to shell out for one of those shells?
I had a pregunta ( question ) :) in barcelona,spain or just from what you know in spain Do they have apartments like they do here in america? or not so expensive ones?? and town homes?? Most of the time I've googled for apartments,houses, and town homes in spain they come out really expensive and look really crappy for the price :/ ?? I plan on moving sometime in the future and just wanted to gain as much knowledge from that type of stuff lol OH! and do they sell elotes with chile, mayonesa, and queso over there?? O_O!!
-CheshireCat: Hmmmm, I think I am not too keen on the real estate business. Moving is possible indeed. And it is true that what u see online sometimes does not reflect reality. Rooms in pictures are neither as beautiful as they seem nor the price matches what u finally get in return. As a general thing, you should know that the market is not working fine with the world crisis and all the rest. There was a period when building companies, real estate agencies and private owners went crazy with prices and made a huge profit. The bubble exploded on them and anything related to mortgages, credits, buying or renting a house/apartment has gone completely wild. Maybe that affects the poor offer you get online. To find a good place to live you have to walk the streets and check for yourself on pros and cons. Prices are slowly going down, very slowly. I suppose in the future everything will be back to "normal" (you know when prices change, it is rare they get to be as low as they were) As to the food! Well, elotes or esquites are not sold on the street, not that I know of. Maybe in some of the many Mexican food restaurants in the city you might find them (¿?) Thanks for asking.
It is an amazing place. I had a wonderful time when I have visited twice this spot of Barcelona!
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your work. My one and only visit (so far) to Barcelona in the Spring was a very important one for me, as my wife and I took it as the beginning of a reconciliation. We joined a friend and her sister (who lived in Barri Gotic district) and took in all of the wonderful sights and tastes of the city. Thanks for bringing that all back to me through your words and photos. I hope one day to return and do what you're doing, because I can sense the passion and appreciation in it.
That is a good consideration. Thank you for putting that up there. Sometimes we have to give up that artistic photos for the photojournalism (?) style of photography. Well done. Love the lights and the people and of course the shells. Those are BIG.

Chaotic Five is a kids rock band from Oahu. The members range in age from 11-13 years old and they play mostly classic rock music from the 70s, 80s and 90s.
They first started practicing together about a year ago in their parents' garage. Since then they have learned songs from artists such as Journey, Toto, Van Halen, Blondie, Ozzy and Scorpions and more. The band has played at popular venues such as Hard Rock Cafe, Ala Moana Centerstage and at many charity events.


Forget welfare moms and the unemployed. No one feeds at the public trough like these ten.
OK, you can have the gold, but only if you poison the water.
Under the 1872 Mining Act, Barrick and other huge companies don't pay any royalties for mining on public lands. They are allowed to purchase the land–which now yields about $3 billion of minerals per year–for $5 an acre or less. And the cleanup costs for abandoned mines are staggering, estimated at $32-$72 billion by the Mineral Policy Center.
Doesn't everybody need a sugar daddy?
Thirty-three giant sugar growers have one of the sweetest deals going–at least $1 million annually each in price supports. Of the $1.4 billion in subsidies doled out to sugar growers yearly, about 42 percent go to the top 1 percent, like Flo-Sun. These subsidies jack up consumer sugar prices, and increase sugar cane farming in the environmentally sensitive Everglades.
Ever think they might need some Chicken McNuggets in Kazakhstan about now?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture spends about $85 million annually on consumer marketing campaigns and promotions to spur the export of well-known products such as McDonald's Chicken McNuggets, Miller beer, and Campbell's Soups. The subsidies generally benefit huge companies at the expense of smaller ones.
Hey, we paid for that tax break. Ask George Bush.
Exploration companies like Mitchell Energy and Development of Texas have long benefited from a "depletion allowance." They can deduct 15 percent of gross income or sales as compensation for the decreasing value of their oil wells as they are used up. Over the years, some of these companies have deducted more than the entire value of their investments.
And, furthermore, we're sick of hearing about Chernobyl.
The Caribbean has always been a good place for drug deals.

Lockheed Martin Corp. is building the F-22, an advanced fighter jet. Sen. Dale Bumpers (D-Ark.) and others claim the jet is too expensive and probably unnecessary. Defense Secretary William Perry cut $200 million of its funds from the 1996 budget. Limiting production of the F-22 and using the F-15 as the standard plane for fighter jets would save $6 billion in a five-year period.
Remember how much fun it was to look down the barrels of our own guns in Somalia?
Subsidies for foreign buyers of American weapons now cost taxpayers about $2.5 billion over five years. Many analysts and peace groups criticize this as wasteful, subsidizing the handsome profits made by defense giants such as McDonnell Douglas Corp., General Dynamics Corp., and Northrop Grumman.
Mining, oil, and gas companies benefit mightily from a tax provision that allows them to deduct certain capital costs instead of depreciating them. Phasing out this provision could save about $6.1 billion over five years, but mining companies such as Alcan and Phelps Dodge Corp. will lobby hard to preserve it.

NDP, Roland Crowe, Call for Halt to Crown Land Sales
Posted by David Beninger on September 2, 2021
REGINA - Today, Betty Nippi-Albright, Official Opposition Critic for First Nations and Métis Relations and Truth and Reconciliation, was joined by a delegation of traditional land users led by former FSIN Chief Roland Crowe to call on the provincial government to halt the sale of Crown land.
"Crown lands belong to all of us, and they're especially important for First Nations and Métis hunters, gatherers, and traditional land users trying to exercise their Treaty and Inherent rights." said Nippi-Albright. "The provincial government has been selling off these lands relentlessly for more than a decade, and they need to stop right now or we won't have anything left."
"We are requesting that this government put a stop to the sale of lands that are encumbered by Treaty First Nations," said Crowe. "This drives up the cost of land and affects all farmers and ranchers, all hunters fishers and gatherers, and future generations of First Nations and non-First Nations alike."
Roland Crowe is a former Chief of the Piapot First Nation and former chief of the FSIN. He was instrumental in signing the 1992 Treaty Land Entitlement agreement between the FSIN, the federal government and the provincial government.

If you've been following me for a few years you've likely seen Lion Brand's now discontinued Woolspun yarn in several of my patterns. It was one of my faves and I used it for my Kilim Blanket, Moto Leg Warmers, Blanket Ruana, and my entire toboggan collection including the Adirondack Toboggan and Stowe Toboggan. I was so upset when it got discontinued because I loved the multi-ply bouncy structure and because it's SO hard to find bulky weight (category 5) yarns these days for some reason. But then I heard Lion Brand was introducing a brand new yarn called Color Made Easy, which is Woolspun's 100% acrylic twin (I guess that makes it a fraternal twin?) and I was so pumped! There are so many on-trend colors and it comes in a massive ball, too. While it's already been available on lionbrand.com for a couple months, I'm so excited to announce that it is now available on michaels.com and in select Michaels stores! Make sure to call your local store to confirm they have it as all locations carry different lines.
To celebrate, I've teamed up with Lion Brand and designed three brand new patterns using CME, and I'll be releasing them one by one over the next couple weeks - starting today! You probably know that triangle wraps (aka scarves, aka shawls) are some of my favorite things to design, and since most of the ones I've made in the past are worsted or thinner and more useful for crisp fall or chilly spring days, I knew I needed to add a couple bulky ladies to the bunch for the recent frigid temps in my area.
First up is the Hearthstone Wrap, a top-down tassled knit beauty. Both the Hearthstone Wrap, and the crochet Fireside Wrap (next week's release) were inspired by vintage ski sweaters. I wanted a modern update to the nostalgia and coziness of classic patterned ski jumpers without the hassle of intricate colorwork, so in both cases I added just a touch of colorwork as a nod to the OGs. Scroll down for the free Hearthstone Wrap pattern, purchase a printable PDF here, or grab the kit from Lion Brand here (on sale 20% til 1/31!).
On week three you can expect another knit design - a crazy easy bias knit scarf called the Metro Bias Scarf that ends up looking much more complicated and striking due to the uneven striping and bold contrasting colors (well let's be honest, neutrals). What I love about all three designs is that they can each be worn in multiple ways.
The two triangle wraps can be draped over the shoulders like a wearable blanket, or worn with the point in front and ends wrapped around to warm the neck and chest.
I was picturing coming in from the snow and grabbing one of these babes and a cup of hot cocoa and sitting in front of the fire the whole time I was making them, hence the names.
Finally, the Metro Bias Scarf can be worn long and lean, wrapped once around the neck so the ends hang down, or wrapped twice with the ends criss crossed for maximum warmth.
What I love most about the Hearthstone Wrap though, is a technique I just learned myself called the Latvian braid. I have seen this technique used so many times on very intricate accessories and I always assumed it was a complicated technique that I didn't have time to learn just yet. But that is not the case! It's actually a very simple and very clever way of switching two colors back and forth and twisting them as you go along to create the chevrons. The direction you twist determines the direction of the chevron arrows. I could only find instructions for Latvian braids worked in the round so I had to adapt the steps to suit a flat back and forth pattern but I think it worked out perfectly!
The Latvian braid is not the only new skill I learned in designing the Hearthstone Wrap. I've been using mosaic knitting techniques for a couple years now, but I've never attempted shaping along with the colorwork. My Coast to Coast Wrap is my most favorite piece I've worked up in mosaic knitting, but it's a simple rectangle that doesn't require any increasing or decreasing. For this wrap, on the other hand, I needed to figure out how to keep the mosaic technique working as I increased every other row on both sides of the center stitch. It took some serious concentration and a couple attempts, but I absolutely love how it turned out and I'm so happy to have upped my colorwork chart game.
This is an intermediate level knitting pattern and the techniques involved are the knit stitch, purl stitch, m1l and m1r increases, slipping stitches, changing colors, mosaic colorwork, and reading color charts.
Notes: Wrap is worked from the top down, increasing 4 sts on every right side (even) row. Pattern is composed of sections of stockinette, reverse stockinette, Latvian braids, mosaic colorwork, and stockinette. A Latvian braid is a simple three-row technique of crossing alternating colors over or under each other to create a braided effect. Coined by Barbara G. Walker in the 1960s, mosaic knitting is a slip stitch technique using two colors. The color worked as the first stitch of the row is considered the dominant color. Each dominant color of the chart is knit (or purled), while the contrast color is slipped. Mosaic knitting can be worked in stockinette or garter stitch, but for the purposes of this pattern it will be worked in a combination of both. Color C will be worked in stockinette, knitting each RS row and purling each WS row when that color is dominant, and Color A will be worked in garter stitch, knitting all rows when that color is dominant. Charts are read from right to left on RS rows and left to right on WS rows. All sts are slipped purlwise with yarn either in back on RS rows or in front on WS rows. The bound off edge forms the outer v-shaped sides and it is important to bind off loosely to prevent this edge from pulling and to allow it to drape nicely.

August 23, 2010 | Press Release
SEPTEMBER 1, 2010 DECLARED NO MUSIC DAY IN NIGERIA
Source: EFE OMOROGBE/Nigeriafilms.com
Wednesday September 1, 2010 has been declared No Music Day throughout Nigeria by the Nigerian Music Industry Coalition, a coalition of the key national associations in the Nigerian music industry. The day will be dedicated to drawing national attention to the widespread infringement of the rights of composers, song writers, performers, music publishers and other stakeholders in the music industry in Nigeria.
In consequence therefore, the Nigerian Music Industry Coalition is requesting all broadcasting stations in the country to devote the period between the hours of 9.00 am and 10.00 am on Wednesday, September 1 solely to the broadcast of interviews, debates, comments, discussions, and other programs related to the rights of artistes and creative people, as a mark of solidarity with the Nigerian creative community. All national newspapers and magazines are also requested to do special features and editorials on the subject. Top Nigerian artistes and key personalities in the music industry have also been requested to make themselves available for interviews and discussion programmes across the various media to make No Music Day 2010, a huge success.
It will be recalled that September 1, 2009, was observed as No Music Day throughout Nigeria, making it the first time such an event has been held in any nation in the world. No Music Day 2009 was preceded by a huge rally of Nigerian artistes held at the National Theatre in Lagos and a weeklong Hunger Strike campaign waged by top Nigerian artistes across the nation.
No Music Day 2009 was also the fore runner to the renewed robust onslaught on music and video pirates across the country leading to the degrading of the Alaba piracy cabal and the arrest and prosecution of their alleged kingpin, Tony Onwujekwe, Alias Alaba King of Pirates.
The spirit and unity of purpose generated by No Music Day 2009 brought about the birth of Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON), the nation sole copyright collective management organization for musical works and sound recordings which is set to revolutionize collective administration of copyright in Nigeria..
The Nigerian Music Industry Coalition has decided that September 1 of every year will henceforth be commemorated as No Music Day and will be used to draw national attention to the rights of creative people in Nigeria.

Home Columns What type of protectionism should we fear?
What type of protectionism should we fear?
US President Donald Trump recently signed executive orders to withdraw the US from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Both moves suggest his pre-election rhetoric of criticizing the current international trade regime is being translated into concrete action.
So, where will these changes in US trade policy lead us?
Obviously, the US withdrawal from the TPP is a major setback to the international efforts in fostering freer regional trade and investment in the Pacific Rim, as well as a significant dilution of the 'pivot' to Asia strategy of the previous Obama administration. The Trump administration is likely to favour bilateral trade deals over regional or multilateral blocs, which will have significant ramifications for its trading partners.
One crucial drawback in having multiple bilateral trade agreements compared to entering regional or multilateral trade deals is the additional costs incurred to the business sector due to the higher compliance costs of different rules of origin across different trade rules. This concern has underwritten the argument for regional and global trade regimes that govern international flows of goods and services through unified rules and standards.
Furthermore, by allowing cumulative rules of origin (which allows countries to share production with others in complying with the relevant rules of origin provisions) regional trade regimes can facilitate value chains among contracting parties, thus expanding the scope for international division of labour. Bilateral trade deals will not be able to replicate these gains.
There's also debate about the breadth and depth these two options have vis-à-vis trade and investment liberalization. While the regional and global trade regimes can expand the coverage of countries involved—and therefore the scope of trade and investment flows governed—the degree of liberalization could be lighter given that multiple economies and stakeholders are involved in laying the common ground. On the other hand, bilateral trade agreements can aim for deeper and broader liberalization by focusing on mutual interests during the bargaining process.
Impact on value chain
Another issue to consider is the impact on the value chain structure. Multiple bilateral trade agreements are likely to bring about changes to the structure of the existing global and regional value chains. In this sense, it is ironic that the three countries of Canada, Mexico and the People's Republic of China, which have become the major target of the trade friction or rule renegotiation push by the US, seem to have relatively deeper value chain linkages with the US than others as the intermediate goods providers along the supply chain, according to a value chain analysis based on the ADB's 2015 Multi-Regional Input-Output data. The deeper the value chain linkages, the larger the reciprocal pinch to be felt by the producers in case of higher trade barriers among them.
Viewed from this perspective, it is less clear which option serves the global economy better. First, let's assume that a deeper liberalization in trade deals with the US becomes the benchmark for other countries to follow, prompting a virtuous cycle of liberalization efforts worldwide. If the pursuit of bilateral trade deals culminates in deeper trade and investment liberalization overall, the gains might outweigh the costs of the 'noodle-bowl' syndrome and at least partially offset the disruptive impact to the current global and regional value chains. One can imagine a firm facing higher fixed costs to comply with different rules of origin, but enjoying much lower tariff and non-tariff barriers from major export destinations due to stringent bilateral norms.
As a result of strong bilateral push for liberalization, trade surpluses of export-oriented Asian countries would certainly shrink, lowering the contribution of net exports to their economic growth. But lower trade barriers could yield economic gains by stoking competition in the domestic market and expanding consumer surpluses.
The end result of all these changes remains to be seen.
Moreover, calling the US withdrawal from the regional trade blocs protectionism is not accurate. If the US push for bilateral trade deals aims for higher market access of partners without raising its own trade barriers, this is closer to aggressive liberalism rather than protectionism.
Trade barriers harm all in the long run
Clearer and more worrying signs of growing protectionism are to be seen in the US attempts to raise its own trade barriers, indirectly through border adjustment taxes or more directly through punitive country or industry-level import tariffs.
Penalizing imports will not only hurt retailers but also manufacturers who rely on imported parts and components and of course the general consumers who will suffer higher prices of goods and services in the US. For these taxes or import tariffs to yield the intended results of import substitution, the rates should be high enough to close the gap in production costs between domestic and foreign producers.
This will not only cause inefficient resource allocation across borders but also weaken the competitiveness of the protected the US industries. A stronger US dollar resulting from export support and import penalization also may eventually offset the impact of import suppression, neutering the intended policy effect.
Even worse is when unilateral trade policy tools such as trade remedies are engaged beyond the levelling playing field motivation in pushing for bilateral concessions. This could escalate into mutual retaliation and even trade wars, where no party wins.
If history is any guide, though, protectionism comes and goes. The rising tide of protectionism will recede eventually and—if we are fortunate—the damage done will be manageable, if not fully reversible.

Caltech Scientists Find Evidence Of A Massive Ninth Planet In Our Solar System
Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin (Photo Credit: Caltech.edu)
When Pluto was demoted to dwarf status in 2006, we were left with a mere eight planets in our solar system. Now Planetary Astronomy Professor Mike Brown, the researcher responsible for 'killing' Pluto may have redeemed himself with the discovery of a massive ninth planet - One he believes is worthy of being added to the elite group of eight.
The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) researcher and his colleague Konstantin Batygin think that Planet 9, which is lurking at the edge of our solar system, is about three times larger than Earth. It revolves around the sun in a highly elliptical orbit. Computer simulations suggest that even at its closest the planet is 200 - 300 times farther that Earth gets to the star. At its farthest, the gaseous giant is a distance of between 600 - 1,200 times that of Earth. It is no wonder that it takes the celestial body over 20,000 Earth years to complete a single orbit!

But before you start celebrating and adding the new planet to your solar system chart and song, keep in mind that the existence of Planet 9 has only been confirmed by computer simulations - No human has ever seen it. In fact, Brown and Batygin are not even sure of its exact location. They hope now that astronomers know about its possible existence, they will be able to find it with the help of sophisticated telescopes.
The researchers say their suspicion that there could be another planet lurking further out in our solar system came in 2013, shortly after they discovered dwarf planet Sedna, in the Kuiper belt, an area that lies just beyond Neptune's orbit. Brown says that while observing Sedna, they noticed it had an odd orbit, almost like it was being affected by the gravitational pull of a larger planet.

Since the scientists knew Neptune was not causing the gravitational pull, it raised the possibility of the existence of another planet. The researchers say they knew they were on to something when they found other small objects in the area displaying similar orbit patterns. It seemed as though all were clustering around one central object.
To verify their suspicion, Brown and Batygin inserted a simulated planet between the objects. Sure enough, after some tweaking with the mass and orbit, they were able to conclude that a planet, ten times the mass of Earth on an egg-shaped orbit could be responsible for the odd orbit patterns of the smaller celestial bodies.
This, of course, is not the first time that researchers have claimed to have discovered a new planet in our solar system. But the Caltech scientists who published their research in the Astronomical Journal on January 20, believe Planet 9 is for real. The fact that Scott Sheppard, an astronomer at the Carnegie Institution of Science in Washington, D.C. noticed similar orbit patterns when observing the objects in the Kuiper Belt, gives their theory some credibility. But until someone can see and capture Planet 9 on camera, Brown and Batygin's discovery will be regarded as what it is — just another intelligent computer simulation.

Who found planet nine? Where is it located? How big is it?
What led to planet nine's discovery? Why is it too early to celebrate its discovery?
What should this new planet be called? Why?
"One he believes is worthy of being added to the elite group of eight."
In the above sentence, the word elite most likely means:
(a) the choice or best of anything...

Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival back in Flushing Meadows Corona Park this weekend
By Jacob Kaye
Dragons are coming to Meadow Lake in Flushing Meadows Corona Park this weekend.
The 29th annual Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival begins in Flushing Meadows Corona Park this Saturday, Aug. 3, and Sunday, Aug. 4. The festival will be replete with live entertainment, international foods, arts and crafts, and traditional dragon boat races.
Races will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days of the festival. Over 200 teams and 2,500 participants will compete in the U.S. Dragon Boat Open Championship, the main race. In addition to the championship races, several special races, like The Seniors Invitational, The Media Challenge and The Municipal Invitational, will give onlookers plenty of opportunities to view the diversity of the colorfully decorated teak boats.
Each boat weighs one ton and is custom made by craftsmen in Hong Kong. Colorfully painted with a dragon head at the front and a dragon tail at the back, the boats are staffed by 18 paddlers, a steer person and a drummer to keep the pace.
Some of the fiercely competitive races will be in the name of a good cause. Competitors in The Charity Race will each contribute $2,500 to put in the charity fund. In the end, approximately $15,000 will be donated to various New York charities, chosen by participating teams.
While the dragon boat races may be the main event, a host of other activities will be available during what is the oldest, longest and most traditional dragon boat festival in the United States.
As the racers gracefully splash through the lake, an opening day parade will officially kick off the event for attendees at noon on Saturday. The parade will feature a dragon dance performance from Yee's Hung Ga International Kung Fu Association and opening remarks from the festival's emcee Pei-sze Cheng of NBC 4 New York.
In addition to the opening ceremony entertainment, there will be a host of other dance and music performances to grace the stage throughout the weekend.
Echo Music Jam Band, a collaboration between musicians in the Echo music scene, will captivate audiences with their wide range of sound, including pop, rock, alternative and metal music on Saturday.
Also taking the stage Saturday – Dance China New York, a touring dance company comprised of dancers from China, Taiwan and the U.S.; Rosedale, an EDM artist with an international presence; School of Rock, a classic rock group made up of talented students; and the NY Shaolin Temple Kung Fu Association.
Sunday's performance will be equally captivating, featuring the Chinese Music Ensemble of New York, Mariachi Aguila y Plata, Gong Music, Flamenco Latino and the legendary keyboardist Bruce Katz and his band, the Bruce Katz Band, who will be headlining the main stage.
Katz, who has released 10 albums of his own and who has appeared on 70 others, has a strong connection with The Allman Brothers Band, having toured with the classic rock band a number of times. Additionally, Katz was a member of Gregg Allman's Band for six years and Butch Truck's Freight Train Band for several years.
Throughout Saturday and Sunday, Jonathan Kruk, a master storyteller, will tell fables, myths, medieval legends and lore of the Hudson River. Kruk will also share the story of how dragon boat racing first got its start.
Legend has it, dragon boat racing began around 300 B.C. with a poet and activist named Qu Yuan, who lived in the Chu state during the Zhou dynasty. A frequent critic of his government and its king, Qu Yuan, was sent into exile.
While away, Chu was invaded. Feeling helpless to help the home he loved, Qu Yuan drowned himself in the Mi Lo River in 278 B.C.
As an activist, leader and poet, Qu Yuan was loved, and fishermen nearby raced out into the water to try to save him. They splashed their oars in the water to prevent fish from eating the patriot's body and threw rice dumplings into the water, an offering to the poet's spirit.
The fishermen could not save Qu Yuan but a new tradition was born.
And after 29 years, the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival in New York has become a tradition unto itself, while remaining true to its origin.
The first Dragon Boat Festival in New York took place in 1990 on the Hudson River near downtown Manhattan. Several years later, it was relocated to Flushing Meadows Park, where it remains to this day.
Each year, thousands of people descend on the park to witness tradition come to life.
The Queens Courier and QNS.com is one of many media and creative partners of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Other sponsors include the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, HSBC Bank, Toyota, Con Edison, New York Community Bank, Shanghai Commercial Bank, Flushing Bank, UPS, Sterling Bank, Queens Chamber of Commerce, the Office of the Queens Borough President Melinda Katz and the Hong Kong Tourism Board.

Love Hurts: BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR
Step away from the controversy – over extended sex scenes, over contentious working conditions behind the scenes, and over a vicious insult-trading press tour – and it's easy to see Abdellatif Kechiche's Blue is the Warmest Color for what it really is. It's a coming-of-age first-love story of uncommon patience and with a central performance of uncommon depth of feeling. Adèle Exarchopoulos stars as Adèle, a young girl in her late teens who is slowly discovering who she is, exploring possibilities. A disappointing short relationship with a young boy from school is unsatisfying. She's still reeling from that when, out walking in her French hometown, she spots Emma (Léa Seydoux), her hair dyed bright blue allowing her to stick out of a crowd with ease. Adèle soon finds herself in a position of dating this bold twentysomething lesbian, a situation to which she feels far more simpatico, even if it leaves her schoolgirl pals behind, confused and maybe even a little jealous. It's a story of first love that slowly fades over the course of a nearly three-hour runtime into a story of maturation, a trickier subject, to be sure, and something that benefits from the film's length and comfortably languid pace.
The course of most first loves are similar, in movies and in life. The initial blushing friendship and attraction snowballs into romance, all consuming, and then, inevitably, the couple parts ways. Kechiche, who co-wrote the screenplay with Ghalia Lacroix from the graphic novel by Julie Maroh, views the details within that basic structure with a fussy naturalism, the camera bobbling ever so slightly as it keeps its characters in tight close-ups when it's not floating along behind them, wandering through their lives in medium shots. It's all very of the moment, shaky with a sense of discovery as these two young women drawn to each other through conversation about art and representation, philosophy and literature, life plans made and unmade, exploring new ideas and each other, body and mind. This isn't just any love story. It is theirs. Adèle is self-conscious, something of an innocent, blushing, complaining one morning to a close friend about her sloppy fashion and slick hair. Emma, on the other hand, is confident, pursuing the relationship with a happy eye towards encouraging her girlfriend's sense of excitement and discovery.
What's remarkable about the film is hardly the filmmaking, which has all the standard at-a-remove-but-not-impartial deliberateness of the typical European melodrama, slickly restrained and tasteful, except when it comes to shamelessly appreciating the female form. Nor is it the screenplay, which has some nuance, overtly thematic conversations aside, and a generosity of length and incident, but accumulates details, like a homophobic face-off on a high school blacktop, that nod in directions it's otherwise uninterested in exploring, and features a scene in a gay bar filled with comically exaggerated lesbian caricatures, our leads excepted. No, what's remarkable is the lead performances, two feats of warm-hearted precision acting from two young women with wide-open expressive faces, totally unselfconscious in their every movement and gesture.
Seydoux has a nicely controlled sense of coiled energy that radiates upward out of her shock of blue hair. She's appealingly unpredictable and yet, at the same time, a seemingly safe first love. But it's Exarchopoulos who steals the show here, as well she should given her protagonist is on screen in practically each and every second of the runtime. She's delivering an extraordinarily empathetic and fully felt performance, physical and emotional at once at all times. Her character is a girl of huge appetites, reading large novels lost in their worlds of words, slurping down her meals with explicit and exuberantly sloppy chewing, crying with tears and snot clumping up on her smooth cheeks, and, yes, having sex with intensity and passion in sequences that last exactly as long as they need to and then a few minutes more.
What could be standard coming-of-age doodling is elevated through these deeply felt and wholly convincing performances that play off of each other with natural complexity and ease. The directing and the writing wisely give over all the time and attention to allowing these women the space to breathe and grow and change without much in the way of embellishment or exaggeration. Because the camera sticks so close to Adèle for so long and through so much, the film accumulates a sense of her personhood that feels uncommonly fully formed. In the days since I saw the film, I've found myself wondering about the characters as I do people I know. I wonder what they're up to now. I wonder if they've found their place. I wonder if they've become who they want to be.

At least three troops of India's Border Security Force (BSF) were wounded Tuesday in a predawn militant attack on their camp in restive Indian-controlled Kashmir, police said.
The gunmen believed to be suicide attackers indiscriminately used gunfire, while making their entry inside the camp near Indian air force station and airport in Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
"Three BSF personnel were wounded in today's attack and one body possibly of a militant is lying near the gate," the region's police chief Shesh Paul Vaid told media. "There is heavy gunfire underway and top officials of police are on the spot."
According to police officials, three to four militants are suspected to have entered the camp using heavy gunfire.
"Militants are said to have sneaked inside the camp premises at around 3:45 a.m (local time) today," a police official said.
Authorities have sealed the routes leading to Srinagar airport and operations at the airport have been suspended.
"All morning flights have been suspended," a senior police official said.
Media reports said the army had used helicopters in the area to take on militants.
A guerrilla war is going on between militants and Indian troops stationed in the region since 1989.
Kashmir, the Himalayan region divided between India and Pakistan is claimed by both in full. Since their independence from Britain, the two countries have fought three wars, two exclusively over Kashmir.

Q: Tentando aplicar lambda no dataset? Estou tentando aplicar essa função no dataset:
 number_outliers = (df2 < (Q1 - 1.5 * IQR)) | (df2 > (Q3 + 1.5 * IQR))

        df2.apply(((lambda x:df2[~((df2 < (Q1 - 1.5 * IQR)) | (df2 > (Q3 + 1.5 * IQR)))])),axis=1, broadcast=True, raw=True, reduce=True ,args=number_outliers )
        return df2

Onde o number_outilers é um parametro para identificar os outliers e a funçao do lambda é para remover , não sei onde estou errando , alguem teria alguma sugestão ?

A: O que você quer é fazer um subset do banco. Nesse caso não precisa definir uma função. O comando correto para encontrar o número outliers de uma variável var seria:
import numpy as np

Q1 = np.percentile(df2['var'], 25, interpolation='midpoint')
Q3 = np.percentile(df2['var'], 75, interpolation='midpoint')
IQR = Q3-Q1
number_outliers = df2[ (df2['var'] < (Q1 - 1.5 * IQR)) | (df2['var'] > (Q3 + 1.5 * IQR))]['var'].size

Exmplo replicável:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

df2 = pd.DataFrame({'var': [-400, 1, 2, 3, 400],
                    'B': [5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
            'C': ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']})

Q1 = np.percentile(df2['var'], 25, interpolation='midpoint')
Q3 = np.percentile(df2['var'], 75, interpolation='midpoint')
IQR = Q3-Q1
number_outliers = df2[ (df2['var'] < (Q1 - 1.5 * IQR)) | (df2['var'] > (Q3 + 1.5 * IQR))]['var'].size

print(number_outliers)

Bernaich ist eine Ortschaft in der Gemeinde St. Georgen am Längsee im Bezirk Sankt Veit an der Glan in Kärnten. Die Ortschaft hat  Einwohner (Stand ). Sie liegt auf dem Gebiet der Katastralgemeinden St. Georgen am Längsee und Goggerwenig.

Lage
Die Ortschaft liegt im Sankt Veiter Hügelland im Zentrum des Bezirks Sankt Veit an der Glan, im Norden der Gemeinde Sankt Georgen am Längsee. Südlich der Ortschaft beginnt der Wolschartwald, etwa einen Kilometer südöstlich der Ortschaft liegt der Längsee, wenige hundert Meter westlich der Ortschaft verläuft die Friesacher Straße. Am nordwestlichen Ortsrand liegt ein Campingplatz.

Geschichte

Im Bereich des Orts gab es schon in der Antike eine Siedlung. 1884 wurden im Bereich der Ortschaft zahlreiche Römersteine gefunden: Einige der Steine, darunter ein Reiterrelief, wurden dann für den Bau eines Stadls verwendet; ein Grabstein kam in das Kärntner Landesmuseum.

Der Ortsname Bernaich leitet sich von Eiche des Pero (altdeutscher Personenname) ab.

Im Franziszeischen Kataster wurde in der Ortschaft Bernaich eine Kirche St. Bartlmä verzeichnet; diese zur Pfarre St. Peter bei Taggenbrunn gehörende Filialkirche existiert heute nicht mehr.

Zunächst in der Steuergemeinde Dielach liegend, gehörte der Ort in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts zum Steuerbezirk Osterwitz. Bei Bildung der Ortsgemeinden im Zuge der Reformen nach der Revolution 1848/49 kam Bernaich an die Gemeinde Pfannhof, bei deren Auflösung an die Gemeinde Meiselding. Im Zuge der Gemeindestrukturreform in Kärnten wurde die Ortschaft Bernaich 1972 der Gemeinde Sankt Georgen am Längsee angeschlossen; dabei wurden auch die Katastralgemeindegrenzen geändert, sodass der Ort nun auf dem Gebiet der Katastralgemeinde St. Georgen am Längsee lag. Bald nach der Jahrtausendwende entstand am südöstlichen Ortsrand eine Einfamilienhaussiedlung, die auf dem Gebiet der Katastralgemeinde Goggerwenig liegt.

Bevölkerungsentwicklung
Für die Ortschaft zählte man folgende Einwohnerzahlen:
 1869: 12 Häuser, 68 Einwohner
 1880: 12 Häuser, 63 Einwohner
 1890: 12 Häuser, 86 Einwohner
 1900: 13 Häuser, 70 Einwohner
 1910: 12 Häuser, 102 Einwohner
 1923: 12 Häuser, 86 Einwohner
