Conjuring up the spirit of place
I'm stood within the bounds of Micklegate, York and I'm being watched warily by passers-by. I'm looking into my phone and reading out loud a list of names: Flavius Bellator, Julia Fortunata, Duccius, Alia Aeliana, Gospatrick, Robert de Clairevaux, Benedictus and Moseus, Gilbert de Gaudibus, Elizabeth Fryer, Margaret Sarah Crompton and John Durham.
They are names of people that have frequented Micklegate over the last 1500 years.
Whilst mouthing their names, I feel as though a spell is being cast. I feel as though I'm folding their names back into the fabric of this street.
Today is the culmination of a few years research on the great street of Micklegate. My camera has zip-wired along the eaves lines, the pattern and decoration – plucking out plumb compositions of the Doric doorways and pantile roofs. It has been the instigator, my guide into a telling fabric.
Around nine feet beneath where I stand, on the corner of Micklegate and Barker Lane, is the original Roman road that stretched from the Colonia on the West Bank of the Ouse into the city proper. Just a few feet away, across the road in Trinity Lane, the base of a Roman column was found during road works, and here, on Micklegate proper, a Mithraic shrine was found beneath a cellar. Further afield, oddly shaped ridge tiles have been unearthed. They were hollow with an opening like an open mouth. It is thought that they 'whistled' during windy conditions – apotropaic in nature – not unlike my name chanting.
From that time onwards people like Marcus (a river pilot) Nikomedes (a freed slave) and William Lonsdale (a glazier) have mulched their presence into the materials, patterns, symbols and boundaries that make up this street.
This street is rooted – not a single brick, latch or crown-post has escaped the links forged by these people over millennia. Through my lens, their presence is felt within the spirit of place – the way that this street has come together, organically, unbroken over time.
Beyond the door at Jacob's Well on Trinity Lane is Micklegate and Barker Lane - beneath lies the original Roman road from the Colonia.
It includes the Roman family that mourned their fostered child, a Saxon that shaped the boundaries that remain, a Norman that built the first stone house, the monks that scribed a Bestiary, the ancestors of a Civil War regicide, a Victorian inventor/architect and an Edwardian school governess.
Through them, these buildings act as totems.
Their stories are the glue that holds this place together.
The defensive wall stretches out around the bounds of the former Colonia, crossing Micklegate at Micklegate Bar.
Micklegate Bar, the traditional ceremonial entrance to York for Kings and Queens
Monks from the former Priory at Holy Trinity produced a Bestiary which is now held at St. John's College, Oxford

The walls stretch around the former Roman Colonia which includes Micklegate. The street plan is grid-like and is possibly Roman in origin.

With help from an NEF grant, the Hillside Family Engineering Extravaganza welcomed nearly 300 parents and children on a recent Saturday morning to solve engineering design challenges together. Activities included designing REAL Angry birds (working catapults) and windmill blades, making bubble wands, and saving Humpty Dumpty by building contraptions to protect a real egg from a real fall. Engineers from around Needham joined the Extravaganza to demonstrate projects as did Olin College students and the Needham High School robotics teams HackHers and T-10. Robots from MIT and a 3-D printer from Olin were also popular with children and parents alike.
It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's a … 3-D Printer!
Students in the robotics club at Needham High School unboxed a new 3-D printer, funded by a grant from NEF, to be used by the club and soon in the school's new robotics class. Using the printer, students will be challenged to design 3-D objects and write the necessary computer code, which the printer reads and turns into the corresponding 3-D plastic models. What was the sample design on that first day? The NEF logo, of course!

Australian town without a hairdresser is on an internet search for one
Know your way around a pair of scissors?
By Johnny Lieu on June 21, 2016
Know your way around a pair of clippers? An Australian town wants you. Credit: Getty Images
For an Australian town, a simple number three on the sides and a bit off the top means a long trip through the outback.
That's because Blackall in Queensland doesn't have anyone to cut people's hair, something that Mayor Andrew Martin only noticed recently.
SEE ALSO: 'Forza' videogame absolutely mangles Australian geography
"Not being a hairdresser attendee for some considerable amount of time I was totally unaware of the fact that Blackall has no hairdresser," Martin wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday.
It's why Martin has used the Internet to find a hairdresser for the town. Currently, if you wanted a chop, you'd need to travel more than 100 kilometres away (62 miles) to the town of Tambo, according to ABC News(Opens in a new window).
"I mean it's a pretty basic requirement, haircuts and hairdos," Martin told the publication. "Kids need haircuts, the ladies need their hair done, even me, I need a buzz cut every now and then. It's an essential service and I'm just amazed that we've found ourselves without one,"
Martin has received plenty of interest for his proposal, but no takers as yet, despite the council being "very keen" to help as much with the re-establishment of a hairdresser in the town.
Know your way around a pair of scissors and keen for an outback change? Now is your chance.

All Legal Files Suit
Dismissal filing cites conflict of interest
Alicia D. WhiteBrian W. RiceCaesar R. Goodson Jr.Edward M. NeroFreddie GrayGarrett E. MillerMarilyn J. MosbyNick MosbyWilliam H. MurphyFiles Suit
Attorneys for the six Baltimore police officers charged in Gray's death file a motion to have the case dismissed or have Marilyn Mosby's office taken off the case. The motion lists what attorneys say are numerous conflicts of interest and concerns about the investigation. The filing says Marilyn Mosby's husband, City Councilman Nick Mosby, represents the West Baltimore district where Gray was arrested, and that one of her chief prosecutors is in a relationship with a local television reporter who interviewed the prisoner who was in the police van with Gray on April 12. The filing also says Marilyn Mosby has a close professional and personal relationship with Murphy, the Gray family's lawyer and unofficial spokesman. Filing:
Mrs. Mosby's connection to Mr. Murphy is of great concern to the undersigned counsel and it should be of greater concern to the residents of this city/ The connection between Mrs. Mosby and Mr. Murphy is undeniable and the conflict it creates is detrimental in the pursuit of justice.


Have you ever lost your blogging spark?
Well that's a bit how I am feeling at the moment. I've been blogging for two and a half years and although at times I have loved it, I am now wondering if I want to continue to do so.
You see I am sometimes just so busy I do not have the time to put in the effort that I would like. My posts are rushed photos are rushed and it's not what I want. I started blogging to write about our days out and what we get up to but I now mostly forget to do so like the Disneyland Paris trip from June doh. I like to write funny posts but how often do I do that?.
It's been a busy summer so I suppose getting back into the swing of things will be hard. I've got a long list of reviews to write and other things I've agreed to. Which is good it gives me content when I struggle to find anything.
I've stepped back from some social media platforms and somehow have lost that community feel I used to get from blogging. There's so many nowadays it's easy to get lost and forgotten about. Maybe I've been a bit guilty of link dumping and other things that I've done in a rush.
I think if I want to continue blogging I should come more organised, use my time more wisely and make sure that I enjoy what I am writing about. I be lost that spark that I have had, maybe it may come back I am not so sure. The thing is if I am busy what will I do instead.
Have you any advice for getting excited about blogging again?
You have that 'going back to work' feeling and it's horrid. Love Lucy's suggestion on FB. Are you looking to push your blog to a business? I have just done 30 Day Blogging Challenge and although I haven't got a business or a product, I've learnt tons and it really has given me a lift about blogging.

Hypocrisy - _Hypocrisy Destroys Wacken_
(Nuclear Blast / PHD, 1999)
by: Adrian Bromley (9 out of 10)
Admit it. You thought it was over after the brilliant _The Fourth Dimension_. I did. I was sure the band was packing it in. But to much of our relief, the band re-grouped and started writing again. This live album, recorded at last Summer's Wacken Open Air festival, is the true testimony of how good this band is. Just listen to the tightness of the band and the killer live sound. Such professionalism rarely gets captured live. This is supreme, my friends. And with a fuckin' blistering new record out this month (the self-titled release), it seems as though Peter T. and Co. have hit us up with a double dose of goodies to gnaw on. Let's hope the band (it looks pretty good, my friend) has attained a second wind and keep putting out good material as we head into the millennium. Hypocrisy slays with classic live renditions of "Roswell 47", "Pleasure of Molestation" and "Osculum Obscenum", to name a few. Too good to pass up, people. Go get it.

"Red tide" is the common name for what many experts refer to as "harmful algae blooms." Harmful algae blooms (HAB) are the sudden proliferation of one or more marine species of microscopic organisms called phytoplankton, primarily dinoflagellates. Some of these species produce neurotoxins and in large enough numbers, these organisms can collectively cause negative and sometimes fatal effects in fish, birds, marine mammals, and even humans.
There are approximately 80 species of aquatic plants that can cause harmful algae blooms. Additionally, blooms can occur in both marine as well as freshwater environments. In high concentrations, some HAB species can turn the water a reddish color, which is the source of the name "red tide." Other species can turn the water green, brown, or purple, while others, although highly toxic, do not discolor the water at all.
Most phytoplankton are harmless. They are essential elements in the foundation of the global food chain. Without them and their ancestors, higher life forms, including humans, would not exist and could not survive.
Human Causes
Red tides are caused by the rapid multiplication of dinoflagellates, which are a type of phytoplankton. There is no single cause of red tides or other harmful algae blooms, though abundant nourishment must be present in seawater to support the explosive growth of dinoflagellates.
A common source of nutrients is water pollution. Scientists generally believe that coastal pollution from human sewage, agricultural runoff, and other sources contributes to red tides, along with rising ocean temperatures. On the Pacific coast of the United States, for example, red tide occurrences have been increasing since at least 1991. Scientists have correlated the increase of Pacific red tides, and other harmful algae blooms, with a rise in sea surface temperature of approximately 0.13 degrees Celsius every decade from 1971 to 2010 as well as increased nutrients in coastal waters from sewage and fertilizers. On the other hand, red tides and harmful algae blooms sometimes occur where there is no apparent link to human activity.
Currents and Other Causes
Another way nutritive materials are brought to surface waters is by powerful, deep currents along coastlines. These currents, called upwellings, come from nutrient-rich bottom layers of the ocean and bring to the surface massive amounts of deep-water minerals and other nourishing matter. It appears that wind-driven, near-coast upwelling events are more likely to bring the right types of nutrients to cause large-scale harmful marine blooms, while current-generated, offshore upwellings seem to lack some necessary elements.
Some red tides and harmful algae blooms along the Pacific coast also have been associated with cyclical El Niño weather patterns, which are influenced by global climate change.
Interestingly, it appears that iron deficiencies in seawater may limit the ability of dinoflagellates to take advantage of the abundant nutrients present. The inverse of such deficiencies occurs at times in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Florida. There, large amounts of dust blown west from Africa's Sahara Desert, thousands of miles away, settle on the water during rain events. This dust is believed to contain significant amounts of iron, enough to reverse the water's iron deficiencies and to trigger large red tide events.
Effects on Human Health
Most people who become ill from exposure to the toxins in harmful algae do so by eating contaminated seafood, particularly shellfish. However, toxins from some harmful algae can also infect people by spreading through the air.
The most common human health problems associated with red tides and other harmful algae blooms are various types of gastrointestinal, respiratory, and neurological disorders. The natural toxins in harmful algae can cause a variety of illnesses. Most develop rapidly after exposure occurs and are characterized by severe symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness, and headaches. Most people recover within a few days, though some illnesses linked to harmful algae blooms can be fatal.
Effects on Animal Populations
Shellfish are filter feeders, pumping water through their internal systems in order to collect their food. As they eat, they may consume toxic phytoplankton and accumulate toxins in their flesh, eventually becoming dangerous, even deadly, to fish, birds, animals, and humans. Some species of algae are toxic only to shellfish, and not humans or other creatures.
Harmful algae blooms and subsequent shellfish contamination can cause massive fish kills. The dead fish continue to be health hazards after their death because of the risk that they will be eaten by birds or marine mammals.
Tourism and Fishing
Red tides and other harmful algae blooms have serious economic as well as health impacts. Coastal communities that rely heavily on tourism often lose millions of dollars when dead fish wash up on beaches, tourists fall ill, or shellfish warnings are issued because of harmful algae blooms.
Commercial fishing and shellfish businesses lose income when shellfish beds are closed, or harmful algae toxins contaminate their fish. Charter boat operators are also affected, receiving numerous cancellations even when the waters they typically fish are not affected by the harmful algae blooms.
Economic Impacts
Tourism, recreation, and other industries may be adversely affected even though they are not directly hurt by the algae. When a bloom is reported, many people grow cautious, even though most water activities are safe during red tides and other harmful algae blooms.
Calculating the actual economic cost of red tides and other harmful algae blooms in both marine and freshwater environments is difficult considering the myriad factors involved. According to a 2011 U.S. House of Representatives report about the risks of algal blooms, the cost of HABs exceeds "a billion dollars over the last several decades." Another study from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution calculated the average annual cost from harmful algae blooms from 1987 to 1992 to be approximately 500 million dollars in 2000. And with experts predicting an increase in HABs, the economic costs will also likely increase.

In It is needed to establish a remote control system for undersea robotics. The transmitter gets commands from a control station and then creates acoustic wave signals, in which functional frequencies are 8-- 16 KHz. Deciphered pulse signals are utilized to control the undersea robotic.
In theory an input signal is created in reaction to a program command, this produces an output signal which triggers an actuator which then moves the Robotic component. This is rather an intricate procedure. One essential difference in control systems is that in between open loop and closed loop operation. An easy heating system is warmed by an electrical heating aspect managed by a dial finished in degrees C. The temperature level is called the control amount and will stabilise at constant state worth, which will be 100 C if the dial has actually been adjusted properly. This details sciences-based field is worried about the style of human-interactive smart systems that can notice the world (specified as some specific domain of interest); design the world or represent; discover and recognize states and occasions worldwide; factor about and deciding about the world; and/or act upon the world, maybe all in real-time. A sense of the kind of applications and systems experienced in this discipline can be gotten by seeing the jobs revealed at the site http://vision.ucsd.edu/.
To notice and succinctly represent occasions in the world needs understanding of signal processing, computer system vision, details theory, coding theory, and data-basing; to reason and identify about states of the world makes use of ideas from analytical detection theory, hypothesis screening, pattern acknowledgment, time series analysis, and synthetic intelligence; to make great choices about extremely complicated systems needs understanding of conventional mathematical optimization theory and modern near-optimal techniques such as evolutionary calculation; and to act upon the world needs familiarity with principles of control theory and robotics. Really frequently discovering and adjustment are needed as either crucial elements of the world are improperly understood at the beginning, and need to be improved online, or the world is non-stationary and our system should continuously adjust to it as it develops.
A striking example of the existing advancement can be discovered in the automobile location, where contemporary automobile progressively depend upon the combination of the vehicle's mechanical subsystems with a considerable quantity of ingrained computer systems, sensing units, actuators, and interaction gadgets, making it possible to develop vehicles with active security functions and brand-new propulsion systems. Other progressing fields of this discipline is HVDC power transmission to decrease loss in the grid and smart robotics for homes and market, among others. Just recently, bio-signal based control has actually been slowly released in biomedical gadgets and assistive robotics for enhancing the quality of life of senior and handicapped individuals, amongst which electromyography (EMG) and electroencephalography (EEG) bio-signals are being utilized commonly. This paper provides a summary of applications managed through these 2 bio-signals and some research study obstacles in the development of these control systems.

On one of Cork hurlings better nights in some time, a highly motivated Cork U-21 side comprehensively beat Tipperary in Thurles on Friday last. The difference between the performance of the U-21s and the Seniors against Galway couldn't be more pronounced – the U-21's work rate was incredible throughout, our forwards looked for and took their goal chances while the confidence running through the side was clear to see. At the same time this was only a Munster semi-final against a mediocre enough Tipp that didn't look overly bothered in the closing stages of the match. The final in the beginning of August will be against either Clare or Limerick, and both will be hugely motivated, particularly Clare who like Cork will want to salvage something from their so far disapointing year.
For Cork, there were many impressive individual performances. Over the 60 minutes Luke O'Farrell and Jamie Coughlan were probably Cork's most consistent forwards, O'Farrell physically dominating his man throughout and showing the clinicalness and assured play missing from his performances for the seniors. Coughlan offered a huge amount from play besides his 5 points, creating a number of Cork's goals. Similarly, Dean Brosnan was brilliant in the opening half, his bullet of a goal a real highlight while Conor Lehane was brilliant in the second half after being well marshalled by Noel McGrath in the opening 30 minutes. Elsewhere Aidan Walsh won a half a dozen clean balls from puck-outs, one resulting in an incredible solo goal while Micheal O'Sullivan slotted over a pair of points and worked exceptionally hard all day. All and all the forward unit's performances was hard to fault.
Our backs and midfield were maybe a little less impressive. By and large our half-back line had a good day, Ellis playing a lot of ball and Egan leading well at center-back. Both corner backs performed well with Joyce in particular standing out – despite playing out of position he put in a powerful display that underlined his strengths, primarily his physicality in the air and on the ball. Inside both of them however Edward Finn had a hard day, his inexperience at inter-county along with the fact that he was marking the extremely powerful Buggy O'Meara meaning he was probably the only one of the backs to not get the better of his man. His replacement, Damien Cahalane, was typically all-action and will surely start at full-back the next day. Regarding the defence as a whole, it was good to see the players were cynical and physical when they needed to be – anytime a Tipperary player ran in on goal he was closed out or fouled. In midfield, Seamus O'Farrell toiled hard all day and popped over a nice long distance point in the first half but Daniel Roche struggled badly to impact on the game, and once again his replacement David Drake was excellent and a change here for the final is again almost certain.
For Tipperary, its difficult to pick up on many positives. They showed a lot of heart to come back from such an early deficit, and Noel McGrath was on top form in the opening half destroying Lehane in the air – however there was no such second comeback when Cork began to pull away in the second half however. In contrast to Cork's defence, Tipp were badly short of the cynicism needed at this level at the back. The sight of Aidan Walsh catching ball over ball over his man's head with impunity was quite incredible, while the huge space afforded to both Brosnan and Walsh for their goals was inexcusable. Besides McGrath, Ryan in midfield put in a fine performance and was probably the only Tipperary player to put in a consistent shift over the entire game, while Buggy O'Meara was dangerous at times, O'Dwyer was excellent from placed balls and Stapleton showed some flashes of class.
All in all Cork were more then good value for their win. However, one must express caution – it is easy for Cork hurling fans to over-react to such a victory considering the otherwise dismal state of hurling in the county. This was a pretty poor Tipperary side, and particularly naive at the back – Clare or Limerick will have a number of individually talented players and will want the victory far more then Tipp did. They will also now be completely aware as to this Cork team's full ability. A large part of our victory was down to Aidan Walsh's strength in the air – whether or not he will be available further down the line is doubtful. Finally, over the past few year's Cork hurling at all grades has struggled badly to put in back to back performances – remember the exuberance of our Minors defeating Tipperary last year before being tamely knocked out by Waterford. Hopefully things won't go the same way this year.

Q: Java & HSQLDB INSERT TO problem I've a problem when I try to insert data into a hsqldb with a Java class :
The code is :
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.text.ParseException;

     public class Main {
         public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
             try {
                 Connection con = null;
                 String url = "jdbc:hsqldb:file:../db/db";
                 Class.forName("org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");
                 con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "sa", null);
                 Statement statement = con.createStatement();
                 Statement stm1 = con.createStatement();

                 statement.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO \"vacDeGroupe\"(\"type\") VALUES ('test')");
                 ResultSet rs = stm1.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM \"vacDeGroupe\"");
                 while(rs.next()) {
                     System.out.println(rs.getString("type"));
                 }

                 stm1.close();
                 statement.close();
                 con.close();

             }
             catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {

             } catch (SQLException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
         }

        }

If I exec this code I have my entries + the new I have INSERT INTO my database.
But, after if I only do the executeQuery(), the row I have insert is not in my database.
I've checked, autoCommit is on true.
... I don't understand what's happened.
(I'm french so I'm sorry if there is some english errors)

A: executeUpdate for INSERT, not executeQuery.  And it does not return a ResultSet; it's number of affected rows.

Gloria Stuart, who earned an Oscar nomination for 1997's "Titanic" -- and had a movie career that stretched back to the early 193os -- died Sunday in her Los Angeles home. She was 100.
Here's a video tribute to her that I saw posted at Jeffrey Wells' Hollywood Elsewhere blog. It's a year out of date, but still offers some interesting trivia about Stuart and proves that, back in her day, she was quite the babe.

Background on NYS DOH COVID-19 Admissions Mandate
Q: How did the NYS DOH COVID-19 mandate on March 25, 2020 affect nursing homes in NY state?
A. On March 25, 2020 the DOH mandated that all nursing homes admit COVID-19 (+) patients who were stable and otherwise qualified for admission (see advisory posted below). To comply with the mandate, Gurwin dedicated space in a closed, isolated wing for recovering COVID-19 patients who were discharged from the hospital, as well as for residents who tested positive. On May 10, 2020, the DOH reversed its mandate: Gurwin does not accept COVID-19+ patients from the hospital. All new admissions must provide a negative test result.
Our dedicated unit is currently used for any residents who are found to be positive through surveillance testing. It is accessible via a separate entrance that does not require passing through any other resident care area. Staff dedicated to this unit include nursing, rehabilitation and housekeeping personnel, properly outfitted and trained in the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Infection prevention measures have been implemented throughout entire facility — masks must be worn when entering the building and at all times throughout the facility; hand washing stations are conveniently located throughout the building; and staff are screened daily, including a temperature check, and undergo frequent nasal swab testing in the event of any positive test among staff or residents.

Home Horse Racing Betting Naas preview: Even So the best bet on opening day of Flat season
Naas preview: Even So the best bet on opening day of Flat season
Categories: Free Horse Racing Tips, Horse Racing Betting | Published by: AC
It appears the Master of Ballydoyle is launching an all-out attack on the revised Monday (originally scheduled for Sunday) card at Naas, the grand opening of the Irish Flat betting season.
Sir Dragonet is the highest-rated, best-recognised and most experienced amongst Aidan O'Brien's six-strong battalion of horses, while the all-conquering trainer fields chances in five of the other six races.
1 Hard to know state of O'Brien's runners
2 Hong Kong could be chucked in
3 Last year's Derby favourite Dragonet should start season in style
4 Lyons' runner looks a banker
At this stage of the season, however, where yard form is very much taken on trust, it's hard to advise jumping in head-first on O'Brien's runners, particularly given they'll mostly be very short in the betting.
Hard to know state of O'Brien's runners
The opening maiden, for example, is a shining example of how reputation can rule the betting market.
O'Brien's $650,000 purchase Lipizzaner, an exciting, unraced son of Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Uncle Mo and half-brother to an Australian Group 2 winner, is of course the one that catches the eye.
But it's hard to imagine that 5f on heavy ground will be where this colt's seen at his best, and a watching-brief is advised at 15/8.
Hong Kong could be chucked in
If there's an O'Brien worth playing on the card then it has to be HONG KONG, available at 3/1 in the Madrid Handicap (3:30pm).
He failed to make much of an impression on his two starts in maiden company at the Curragh, then disappointed slightly when finishing second at odds of 11/8 at Limerick, before finally getting his head in front at this track over 6f.
The half brother to high-class sprinter Caravaggio couldn't cut it at Group level in the Horris Hill Stakes at Newmarket in November but should have strengthened up nicely over the winter.
He returns here over 7f and, most importantly, off a workable mark of 88 in handicap company.
If he manages to take a step forward from his form as a two-year-old, then he could be very well in on his handicap debut.
Last year's Derby favourite Dragonet should start season in style
Derby fifth Sir Dragonet is the main draw in the Devoy Stakes (4:00pm), and he's expected to begin his season with a win at just 4/7.
He should go well in the testing ground and will take all the beating if running up to the form of last season.
The step down to 1m2f is a niggling concern, but we've seen O'Brien work versatility into his horses before and it would be no surprise this odds-on shot go in.
Brogue, a son of Frankel who won his sole start (1m2f maiden at Cork) will hopefully be good enough to chase him home.
Lyons' runner looks a banker
The banker on the day looks to be in the Group 3 Park Express Stakes (4:30pm), where Colin Keane takes the pick of Ger Lyons' runners, EVEN SO.
Keane would have had the option of riding her or Lemista, whom he partnered to win easily at Gowran Park last year, so that's a big positive.
Even So did everything right in her maiden win at Gowran last September, and as a daughter of Camelot, you'd expect to see plenty of progressions from two to three.
The bulk of her challengers would all appreciate a step up in trip in time and she looks worth supporting at 10/11.

YouTube has announced updates to some of their oldest features that promise to give enhanced usability to all users.
First, the inbox has received an overhaul that now allows you to see all of your messages in one view with much less load time. Video comments, responses, shared picks, friend invites and personal messages are now all on the same screen; you also can see how many unread messages you have in each category. Plus, legitimate users of the email system should see a lot fewer messages about sending too many things to friends, as they have purportedly improved their throttling program to thwart spammers. An improvement to the site's privacy system is also included that will ensure message recipients the option to disguise their activities, enabling users to no longer notify senders that their messages have been viewed.
The contacts system also get a facelift, allowing you to organize them more quickly, see full account details, edit data for multiple contacts at once, as well as add real names and email addresses to make it more of a full-fledged manager.
Video management has gotten some attention, too. Visible changes show a much slicker interface with collapsible menus, more integrated information, and more editing options placed in the window.
For now the new features have been rolled out to a few accounts, but anyone can access them by paying a visit to the YouTube blog and following the links.

U.N. Halts Refugee Flights Amid Coronavirus Panic
Thu, Mar 19th 2020 @ 12:39 pm EDT
The U.N. announced Tuesday it is suspending refugee resettlement flights amid coronavirus fears, though it will still try to work out ways to still accommodate "critical emergency cases."
Pointing to countries that have severely limited or shut down their borders, the U.N. High Commissioner on Refugees and the International Organization for Migration said they'd watched as refugees were stranded in airports or separated from family because of the patchwork of rules imposed by various nations. And the organizations said they feared the refugees themselves could be delivered to countries where they might catch COVID-19.
"As a result, IOM and UNHCR are taking steps to suspend resettlement departures for refugees. This is a temporary measure that will be in place only for as long as it remains essential," the groups said in a statement. "The suspension will begin to take effect within the next few days as the two agencies attempt to bring those refugees who have already cleared all formalities to their intended destinations."
The U.S. had already severely diminished its refugee resettlement program in recent years, with a record low number expected in 2020. It had accepted about 900 refugees so far in March. The U.N. halt will likely dent those numbers even further since the U.S. system relies on the UNHCR to vet most refugees before the government will consider them.
American aid groups said they understood the reasons for the UNHCR's move, but were still saddened.

Saturday April 2nd 1904 The weather was so unpleasant Will walked to town this morning. I did some sweeping and got Levi and I early dinner. It had warmed up some so I had him hitch Nellie up and I went down to Woolfs to spend the afternoon. I got home early, did evening work. finished some lace in the evening. Sunday April 8th 1904 Bro Rob would have been fifty years old today had he lived. It was a bright beautiful Easter Sunday. I spent it as I always do Sunday with my few house duties and reading and writing some. I had [some?] cold so did not try to go away from home. Mollie came back tonight. Monday April 4th 1904 I was busy all forenoon with the work. Will went down home for a calf he had bought and brought two pigs Levi bought. I spend the afternoon down home came back to do the evening work. I did not feel very well. The weather more moderate.


A submarine is a watercraft, which is used for various commercial and military applications. In submarines, a battery plays a major role in smooth running of the submarine. For power supply, the submarines are equipped with diesel engine that burns fuel or nuclear reactors that use nuclear fusion, which helps to charge the batteries of submarines. Global submarine battery market generated revenue of US$ 866.8 million in 2017 and is expected to reach US$ 1,307 million by 2025 with a CAGR of 5.5% in the forecast period. Rising demand for unmanned underwater vehicles is one of the major driving factors for the market growth. Rising application of submarines such as commercial use, research, air crash investigation, naval use (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare, inspection/identification etc.) have accelerated growth of the submarine battery market, globally. Moreover, increasing investment for production of submarines is also supporting growth of the market of submarines battery globally. For instance, in April 2018, Australian steel making companies, Bisalloy and BlueScope announced that they signed contracts with Australia navel group 'Royal Australian Navy' to produce up to 250 tons of specialized steel for future submarine program. Similarly, In May 2018, the U.K. government announced investment of US$ 2.94 billion (Euro 2.5 billion) for the development of nuclear submarine and U.K. Defense Secretary also announced that the ministry of defense has released fund of US$ 1.98 billion (£1.5 billion) to build a seventh Astute hunter-killer submarine for the Royal Navy.
On the basis of battery type segment, lead acid battery segment held the dominant position in the market in 2017 and is expected to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period. This is due to various advantages of lead batteries such as reliable, robust, and with capability to deliver high current. Lead acid battery provides standby and propulsion power in various submarines. Continues technical improvement in lead acid battery technology have accelerated growth of the segment in the market.
North America held the dominant position in the submarine battery market in 2017 and is expected to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period. The U.S. and Canada are the major countries, which drive growth of the submarine battery market in this region. Increasing spending on submarines and increasing defense budget under National Defense Authorization Act have accelerated growth of the market in this region.

MASQUERADE -- A Thorne in Your Side of an Experience
Reviewed by Adam Donato
Director of Bloodworth, Shane Dax Taylor burst back onto the scene with Masquerade. This thriller shows a wealthy family under attack as masked pair of thieves try to steal their precious artwork. Audiences are not left without star power in this under-the-radar flick. Bella Thorne, star of Shake it Up, leads this thriller as a kind bartender just trying to help some inebriated parents get home to their daughter. With a poster that proudly identifies itself as being produced by the same producer as Insidious and Split, does Steven Schneider produce a movie that lives up to those standards?
Now obviously this movie is not as good as Insidious or Split, but how bad is it? Pretty bad. The best thing that can be said about this movie is it has a merciful run time of exactly 80 minutes. While the movie does have things going on from start to finish, it is surprisingly such a drag. The parents don't even get involved in the action until well over half of the movie, so the audience is left with fourteen-year-old actress Alyvia Alyn Lind trying to avoid the thieves in this giant house. Why this process takes a whole 80 minutes is beyond reason. How this episode of television is stretched to match the length of a full movie is borderline criminal.
Bella Thorne is definitely in the movie. The whole time the audience will be wondering why she is there and assume what the story doesn't want one to assume. The rest of the cast is fine. Honestly, the best performance comes from Lind, who happens to be the only character worth rooting for. Watching her negotiate and combat the thieves is the most watchable part of the movie. The ending is satisfying in the sense that there is an explanation for why anything is happening, but also frustrating in the sense that nothing was really built on any kind of foundation of information.
It's a good thing this movie is listed as a thriller and not as horror because it is not the least bit scary. The thieves have some kind of beekeeping masks on that changes their voices and every time they say something, it is laughable. At a bare minimum, the question of the movie is inherently thrilling. Will this little girl come out of this robbery alive? On that level, the story functions. That being said, little else does function in this movie.
While this thriller attempts to masquerade as a competent movie, audiences are sure to see through its mask. The resolution acts like it has more weight than the story deserves. While there is consistent action, it feels like nothing happens in the movie. It would be irresponsible to even recommend this to fans of Thorne as her role in the movie is quite possibly the most frustrating thing about it.
Masquerade hits theaters and VOD on July 30.
