Tennis @ The Lexington, London 07.01.11
The Lexington; a venue that resides in the near centre of Islington. A place known for being a stepping stone to success for bands. Tonight the Lexington holds a new band; dare we say, a new TYPE of band for 2011,Tennis. The inexplicable band name for Denver husband-wife duo Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley.
Jan 7th, 2011 at The Lexington, London / By Joshua Edwards
The night's aura fills with a sense of excitement, and yet apprehension as this is Tennis' first live show outside of the North America. An unevenly matched couple, in height at least, step onto the stage and move the equipment from one side of the stage to the other whilst all eyes are upon them.
The woman grabs the mic and exclaims "Good Evening London, this is our first song 'Take Me Somewhere'...No offense". The song begins with a short tense moment as they strike each other's instruments with confidence; they continue to play the same melody until what seems to be a completely random member of the audience steps onto the stage and astonishes the people by sitting behind a nearby drum kit - he starts to play, and all is in it's right place.
As expected from an American band there's a lot of conversation and interaction between audience and band. Alaina Moore speaks with a voice reminiscent of a small child wanting candy; even so, her ability to drag people into her conversation is effortless. She informs the audience that tonight there is a theme to this gig "It's our friend's wedding tomorrow and we're not going to be there so tonight's theme is a Wedding Band theme. So everybody tonight, please just imagine that Louise and Carl have just got married!"
As the set moves along at an exceeding rate and each song is explained between breaks, the audience takes time to reflect that the music being played tonight has completely removed the previous anxious atmosphere. The music has taken the people on a journey to California - on a beach staring at the ocean and listening to the pretentious waves.
Alaina's lyricism howls nostalgia, but not necessarily of perfect times. Sometimes the happiest of tunes are followed by dark and deep lyrics. Songs like 'Marathon' and 'Long Boat Pass' are explained as the worst arguments that the duo have ever had. Explaining lyrics whilst onstage can lead to narcissism and arrogance for band members, but Tennis still stand as equals to the audience and play till their hearts content. They are new to the continent and country and are not trying to out-do or overdose on their performance; this is either out of fear or out of cleverness for people to return to a gig in the future, but their performance is as energetic as Olympic sports and child-like excitement combined.
As they approach their last song, sweat drips down Patrick Riley's face and Alaina Moore's organ appears to be lowering itself from being pounded so hard and danced on multiple times; they both stand next to the mic and mutter the words together romantically "We love what we do, we are Tennis, we played tonight for confidence, and you guys certainly helped us..." They pause and look into each other's eyes and Alaina then finishes their sentence "...and we couldn't be happier!" The pair then rush away from each other and drive into their last song 'Water Birds'.
The final chords are played and audience applauds for their passion and wit throughout the show, it's a wonder that not a single piece of underwear has been thrown at this point. Alaina grips the microphone and exclaims "Thank you so much for tonight, we were so worried that it wouldn't work tonight but you've really lifted our hopes up , our album is called CAPE DORY and it's on sale just over there [she points]". The audience replies with an even bigger roar of screams, whistles and claps until blood might show. After tonight, it's safe to say that this band will be seen over here again, hopefully in a bigger venue.
Bearded caught up with Tennis after their show to ask a quick few questions:
So after playing tonight how much has it changed your view on a European tour?
We were so scared about playing outside of America that we almost didn't come. Thank goodness we changed our minds! Tonight has provided us with an all new type of confidence and we just can't wait to play the rest of the tour.
How has tonight differed from other performances?
Well, we've not been able to do a proper stage practice as we were tight on time, but we played a brand new song tonight. It's never been played before anywhere until tonight, we wrote it just a few days ago and thought we could put it in the set. We're so glad it worked.
Do you think that going on a European tour will expand your audience from just Youtube views and Myspace listens to album purchases?
Totally! I think that since we've brought the album with us to each show, people who haven't really heard all of our songs will buy the album and be really impressed with it, it took us a long time to make, and there's a lot of love in that album too. That's what people need sometimes, something to give them a pick me up.
Will you be returning to London anytime soon?
We definitely want to come back to England; maybe some more shows than just the one next time round but expect to see us back in England and London later on in the year, probably with a new album if we keep working as hard as we are now.

The 2007 Annual meeting was held in Valencia, Spain, between the 12th and 17th of June at the Hotel Las Arenas Balineario Resort.
Founded by the Romans and built originally within a wall, Valencia has accumulated enormous wealth from all the countries that have resided here over the centuries. The historic centre with its religious temples and monuments, the cultural developments like the City of Arts and Science (CAC) which has been defined by the New York Times as "A stunning complex, with a museum, theater, gardens and an aquarium, that has put Valencia on the pilgrimage route for modern architecture's faithful", and many other attractions make you feel the plurality, evolution and dynamism of a city where prosperous historical tradition and recent and innovative architecture stand side by side.
Located on the Mediterranean Sea, with a beautiful span of beaches right in the very heart of it which include fantastic possibilities for sport and leisure and not to mention a boiling nightlife, Valencia is also proud to host the 2007 America´s Cup. Its excellent sailing conditions, the creation of a base exclusively for this event, the renewal of the port and surrounding area, its great marine tradition and the enormous organizational capacity of such a dynamic city have all contributed to the choice of Valencia as the perfect place to hold the first America´s Cup ever to be held in Europe.
Valencia, therefore was an ideal choice, it is urgently recommended that all those participating in the event, register early as the entire city will be bustling with international visitors. The INSCA Annual meeting is scheduled between two of the segments of the America´s Cup.

Q: Etiquette for flagging a high rep user's old answer as Not an Answer I've been working through the flag queue recently and noticed a decent number of Not an Answer flags on answers given a few years ago by users who now have high reputation (>3k let's say). These are obvious non-answers (not specifically picking on this one), but it still feels like cheap flag weight to add my flag onto the existing one. I'd rather not lump punitive measures against a productive member for really old answers.
I would like them cleaned up, but in a manner that is respectful of their earned reputation. Would it be better to add a comment to their non-answer suggesting it be self deleted?

A: Suck up the cheap flag weight while you can, if you are flagging correctly then it makes SO a better place while you do it.
High rep users know how SO works, and know that old posts can accumulate both upvotes and downvotes. Those same high rep users may well have been low rep users when they posted that answer, and could well be embarrassed by it if they remembered it, so do them a favor and help get rid of it.

A: Have you seen this hilarious gallery of dogs who look like their owners?

Red brass and yellow brass are two copper alloys with close relationship, for both of them contain high levels of copper and may other similar metal elements. Because of this, many people can not tell the differences between them. Devoted to copper recycling for 12 years, Amisy summarized several factors that can distinguish the red brass from the yellow brass as your references.
Different composition proportions are the first difference. Yellow brass is composed of about 60% or 70% copper; 30%-40% zinc, and trace amounts of tin and zinc. While red brass contains approximately 85% copper and 15% zinc, with very little tin and lead. And such high percentage of copper makes the copper alloy look red.
The second difference is the uses. Yellow brass is one of the most commonly used brasses, which has been widely used as household plumbing. Besides, in the automobile industry, connectors, antennas, radiators and many other items are all made of yellow brass, and even most of our keys are also made of it. Compared to yellow brass, red brass is much less common. It can be found in sprinkler heads, shut-off values, and some other flexible water pipelines. It can also be used as other random objects, instrument and jewelries.
The last different is the recycling. In copper recycling business, both yellow copper and red copper are highly in demand. Brass scraps play an important role in brass and bronze industries and the scraps are widely used in kitchen and house remodeling. The yellow brass scraps that can be recycled include brass sheets and tubing, rods, castings, rods and plated materials, which should be free of aluminum bronze and manganese bronze. The red brass scraps must have a high percentage of copper, such as the machine bearings and valves.
Now can you tell the differences between the red copper and yellow copper? Besides, if you are engaged in copper recycling business or plan to recycle copper, Amisy copper wire granulator and wire stripper machine will be one of your best choice, for they are both high efficient and energy saving.

Got my Beats X replaced under warranty. The headphones died on the third day of my vacation, roughly ten month after purchase.
For the record, after a downtime of over two months, Instapaper finally became accessible to European users again1. Just when everyone was (rightfully) giving up hope for a happy ending, word came out that Pinterest is transferring ownership of the app to the developers who worked on the app during the Betaworks years.
In order to refinance work invested into the app by the new owners, Instapaper Premium makes its return in exchange for the same amount of money that the service charged before the acquisition by Pinterest.
Although I'm still a bit grumpy about the extended downtime I think I will become an Instapaper user again. Regrettably, the app hasn't got much attention during the Pinterest years. I'd love to be convinced of the prospect of a brighter future by the advent of new features going forward.
I'm not exactly busy searching for a replacement of DEVONthink (To Go) on my devices. Sure, I've been through some unpleasant issues with DEVONthink's iCloud sync, ending up with the conclusion that I should stick to the older and more proven sync mechanisms for the moment. But still.
When I became aware of Keep It I wasn't immediately thrilled, to say the least. Many years ago, I have been using Keep It's predecessor, Together. At that time, Together was an OK Mac app which never got an even halfway decent iOS companion. Even back then, an app of this category was not acceptable for me without an iOS companion.
Fast forward to today: at some point, I decided to give Keep It a try in the most literal sense of the word: by activating the two-weeks trial period of the subscription required to use Keep It.
I have to say I like the design of the app and how well it integrates with the design language currently favored by Apple. However, the app is not as polished as you'd wish. For example, scrolling through a list of entries is not exactly smooth, even on contemporary hardware.
In contrast to DEVONthink, Keep It does not support different databases or different sync stores. It can only sync between devices using iCloud.
Before diving deeper into features that may distinguish Keep It from e.g. DEVONthink To Go, my primary goal during the trial period was to see how Keep It would hold up in very elementary ways (e.g. store, search, organize) in comparison to DEVONthink To Go and whether it could, in theory, replace DEVONthink for me.
Thankfully, Keep It supports the creation of folders inside the database which was an important feature for me in mirroring my current content of DEVONthink databases in an organized way to Keep It.
On top of moving stuff over, I used Keep It in parallel to DEVONthink, i.e. everything that I'd add to DEVONthink was also added to Keep It in order to compare the friction of working with one or the other app.
Files that had an extension in DEVONthink were given an additional extension on top of the existing one. For example, a file named file.pdf ended up as file.pdf.pdf.
File that did not have an extension were not properly recognized but just declared as having the type "data".
The share sheet was unable to store imports in any other folder than the default import location. Files shared to a different folder simply never appeared in that folder.
Sometimes individual files would not sync between devices.
After sharing a file to the default import location it was not possible to move the file to a specific folder because the target folder inexplicably did not appear in the list of folders offered by the move action. Outside the move action, the target folder was perfectly visible and had all the expected content.
To summarize, I think I'll pass and maybe have a look again after a couple of updates down the road.


Jean-Pierre Liano is currently chief counsel of the largest training network of Spanish professional drivers. Liano is an example and a living legend for professional drivers trainers in the European Union. He was founder and manager of the largest French network of professional drivers training, AFT-IFTIM. With this position, he participated in founding EUROTRA (Euro Transport Training) by the European Commission.
Usually, before performing an interview, a journalist is documented, trying to find out more about his interlocutor. Besides that Liano exists and has an impressive resume, I did not manage to find almost anything about him. He remained unknown. On the Internet there are no photos of Jean-Pierre Liano, so I did not know how he looked like. So, I thought I'd meet a nice old man, with gentle eyes, soft look and wise tone of caring dad, who has seen more and knows as much. A wise grandfather, with whom I would have a relaxed discussion and nothing else. Instead, I came across an impressive man, charismatic, with gray hair, that at first glance I considered him to be the kind of system manager, having the makings of politician and European refinement diplomat. The rest was our effort to make him become more honest and to impulse him not to hide under the polite language of foreign guest in Romania.
You are in Romania for a few days. You are on official duty?
I am on holiday in Romania. At the same time, I shall meet again my Romanian colleagues, because I met them at the European Congresses of training experts in transport and then at a transport association that I created in 1990, EUROTRA (Euro Transport Training) . Here, I first met the Romanian trainers. Then I cooperated and worked together, I had a mission for the European Union to the Romanian Ministry of Transport to implement the compulsory training directive and then I cooperated with FATII-ARTRI.
You founded a large European training center for professional drivers, the French network AFT-IFTIM. Then, it was EUROTRA, as you said. Now, you are its counterpart consultant in Spain. Professional Romanian drivers pass, according to the Romanian law, through a training program, after which they take the class, receive a certificate and thus the license to drive certain types of vehicles. What do you recommend to the Romanian education system?
I think the main difficulty for professional training development in transport in Romania is the funding way. Here, mandatory or initial training, or the continuous one are payable by the individual, the Romanian driver. Clearly, this is a great difficulty for professional training development, its cost being very important.
And because this cost is important. To make, for example, the 35 hours of training, then the professional driving practice, you reach a significant cost of the entire training. To obtain driving licenses, in Romania there is the obligation of 40 hours of driving and, if it is done, it is an important cost that people can not financially afford it. In other European countries, there are financing systems of initial and even continuous training, by fees paid by companies or employees, within the financial obligations of vocational training. In Europe, I know the case of France, Spain, or even that of the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, countries where there is funding for initial and then even for continuous training. Surprisingly, in Romania was established the mandatory training, but the drivers are required to pay for it. For example, for continuous training, there are two costs: the training and the availability of driver, which, for a week, he can not work at company. If he can not find financing, things get very complicated.
Regarding the periodic training of drivers: the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure has determined that an examination should be made after 35 hours of training. If after examination the driver is not admitted, he loses the right to be a professional driver. An already gained right that, under a European Directive, should be respected. We are talking about professionals with 20 or 30 years of experience. How do you comment?
It is surprising. In 1995, I participated in discussions about implementing the European directive. France is the first country to implement this requirement. In discussions, employers considered it was necessary to make an assessment. Trade unions said: "No, no way, it's not possible for an individual who is already a driver, to lose the right to drive". The directive provided it simply that it was about the obligation of training without examination. It is true that each country can decide to act more firmly than the directive recommendations. Romania has the right to make decisions more firmly than the Directive, but it is a situation, they say, unique in Europe. We do not know how it works in Romania, but normally, in all countries, before taking such a decision, there are negotiations with the owners of the companies and trade unions.
In Romania, the system is strange. Another interpretation of the European directive is the following: if a Romanian driver has C (freight) and D (passenger transport) categories, he is obliged to do 35 hours of training for each category. A total of 70 hours! How do you comment?
As far as I know, in Western Europe, my country, France, Spain, curriculum is the same for freight, and the passenger transport.
There are many hours of Romanian legislation. Exclusive hours.
Unnecessary, because, as I said, the curriculum is the same. In our case, i.e for Spain or France, we would make two different books, because pictures and expression for goods and passengers are different, but … the curriculum is the same.
In the last two years, in Romania, 200 centers were authorized, their number became three times higher than in the past. Currently, we have over 200 such training centers. Most of them have only business activity. As a strategy, is it better?
… or in your case, from Brasov to Bucharest. Regarding the 200 centers in Romania, it seems normal to have so many training bodies.
… then there's no problem.
As long as training is required, this becomes an important market for candidates and many small companies believe that it could be approved in order to enter this business.
It's been four to five years since you came into contact with the staff of FATII-ARTRI. How do you find it, what do you think about the institution at this time?
It made a lot of progress. This training center is good, there is a proper financial base, there are qualified trainers, serious, experienced. I think their problem is a financial one. The difficulty is how to develop mandatory training, which costs more without funding. It is very difficult because Romanians have to pay themselves the training. For example, in France, 35 hours of training costs 300 euros. I don't know, maybe in Romania it costs half that amount. I imagine that the price is 150 euros. I think there are very few Romanian drivers who can, on the one hand, afford not to work a week and, on the other hand, to pay this amount.
What are, on your opinion, weaknesses and strengths of the driver training system in Romania.
The weakness is funding. For training, trucks and buses must be used. If you do not have means to make necessary investments – for example, a new truck costs 80,000 euros, funds are needed. The weakness is the financial base that is outdated and then, if trainers are not paid correctly, you don't have high-level trainers. In addition, if the work is difficult financially, you have no productivity. For example, a French trainer performs 160 training days per year, a Spanish 140 days a year, because there is productivity, and many students. It is very difficult not to have sufficient productivity, because it is not profitable, you have no money for investment. I think this is the great difficulty. As I worked with FATII-ARTRI trainers, strengths are the highly motivated and highly capable people, with good technical experience in mechanical, road safety and legislation.
What should the Romanian government do to improve the level of training of Romanian drivers?
For me, it is very simple: to find a financing system.
There is no other chance.
It is crucial, because without money, the system will not work properly, there will be no quality. Again, it is difficult for the government to impose an obligation that requires high costs, without finding an appropriate financing. If you, as a journalist, are obliged to follow tomorrow an expensive training stage, it is difficult to do this from your salary. Training facilities in transport are expensive: truck, bus, etc. Travel cost for such training stage for drivers, for example, is also increasingly expensive: food, travel and other daily expenses means money, not something to play.
How long do you think it will take up until the training is made by the same standards across the European Union?
There will be more and more training centers. In a liberal system, free competition is the one that guarantees fairness, fair competition, quality, all the quality and the security rules. If we want fair competition, it must be made between companies that comply with quality and safety rules. In order to enhance road safety, fuel economy, energy, training is crucial. When the European Directive was adopted, it was adopted to ensure fair competition between European countries, to have the same training requirements, to reduce energy consumption and improve road safety. They all justify mandatory training. Road safety has increased costs for a country, and also fuel consumption. The guarantee of fair competition and quality products for the consumer is all that is of quality. This phenomenon continues. What you need to understand is that tranport must be safe. As transport is performed on public sector, you must be very careful about road safety and this explains the mandatory training. In addition, a driving license is a driving permit. There is no professional qualification. The interest in training is to prepare young people for an interesting and beautiful job. Here, in France, young people who came to become a professional driver, said: "We are surprised to find that there are so many things to learn about it." Thus, we found that it was a true profession.
If you were 19 years old and lived in Romania, what job would you like to have?

Shopping for a new refrigerator? Find out what Amazon shoppers love about these 10 refrigerators.
The main draw of this refrigerator is its superior storage capacity. It's outfitted with everything from gallon-sized door bins that give you space for juice, milk and tall bottles to a full-width gourmet pantry drawer that's perfect for pizzas, platters and more.
Many reviews note the well-designed, functional storage options. "At the time of writing this I've been using the fridge for 6 months," writes one Amazon reviewer. "I really like the design of the fridge. It definitely allows us to make the most of the space. The shelves on the doors are nice and sturdy and are full of drinks and condiments for us. The fridge has an LED light bar, which doesn't generate any heat at all compared to older fridges that used incandescents. The crispers humidity slider works really well, my veggies have been staying fresh for much longer. I love the giant drawer for delis, I've been using it to store yogurt and cheese blocks neatly." Spend 30 minutes on these simple maintenance steps to keep your fridge running in tip-top shape.
Another Kenmore appliance boasting a lot of storage capacity is this stainless steel refrigerator that's all about versatile space that keeps your foods fresher, longer. You can stash snacks or leftovers alongside fresh produce and household staples, adjusting shelving door storage for ultimate flexibility. The multi-air-flow technology also ensures cool fresh air flows throughout the fridge, while the humidity-controlled crisper drawers keep produce crisp and bright.
A sagging refrigerator or freezer door doesn't just look bad. It can cause the door gaskets to seal poorly, and that means your fridge will work harder to keep the milk cold. It can also lead to frost buildup in the freezer. Here's how to fix it.
If you're looking for a great beer fridge, this appliance may be for you. It features two full shelves for maximum storage versatility, another half shelf for additional items, and a see-through vegetable crisper with glass top. Larger bottles also fit well in the spacious unit. Furthermore, its Energy Star rating and state-of-the-art mechanical thermostat will keep your electricity bills in check.
"I purchased this fridge for my beer collection, and it works nearly perfectly," one reviewer explains. "The top shelf holds two 64oz growlers, plus sixteen or so 12oz bottles, or a few 22oz ones. The bottom shelf doesn't hold bottles, but takes eighteen or more 16oz cans." If your mini fridge is going in your man cave, be sure to check out these 12 tips for creating the ultimate dude hangout.
Reviewers have reported using this refrigerator both in larger homes for a big family as well as in commercial spaces. It has been described as being well-built, and made to last. One reviewer says, "It's so roomy, easy to clean, and keeps food fresher longer. Ours is a family of 8 who makes meals from scratch, brines meats, and shops in bulk. It has been such a wonderful refrigerator." If you really want to get into the nitty-gritty of refrigerator repair, here's how to fix the compressor.
This is a great refrigerator for anyone needing a refrigerator in a commercial setting. Notable features include its spacious 14.7 cu. ft. capacity, super-bright LED lighting and a backlit customizable marquee for properly displaying the items inside. A lock is included to prevent unwanted access, and four casters make it easy to move and position the refrigerator anywhere. If you've ever wanted a refrigerator in your garage for extra beverages, this is an option!
One Amazon reviewer says, "This is a great product smooth running and gets cans and bottles cold very fast, the led lights are very bright and light up the whole cooler I will be getting another one in the near future." If you've ever wanted the convenience of a garage refrigerator, here's what you need to know!
Looking for a specific refrigerator like a counter depth option that's sleek in design, with stylish French doors? Check out this LG appliance. Reviewers consistently boast about how beautiful the design is coupled with great features like a bright LED interior light and plenty of storage space.
One reviewer said, "We were looking for a counter depth unit without through the door water or ice that looked good and was reliable. There's not a lot of choice. The LG is great looking. The inside is very well laid out. My wife is very happy with the drawer and shelf arrangement. It's extremely quiet, so much so it's difficult to tell if it's running. The led lighting is excellent. Overall, it appears to have better than average build quality. A few other reviewers complained about the door design. The doors on our unit work perfectly, smoothly and with little effort, practically closing themselves." If you ever have a terrible odor in your refrigerator, here's how to get rid of it.
This Kenmore refrigerator is a standard appliance that's great for rental properties, an extra refrigerator in the garage, or anyone looking for a budget-friendly option. While it doesn't include an ice maker, it comes with eight cubic feet of interior space with adjustable shelving, gallon door bins for convenient storage, energy efficient LED lighting, slide-out glass storage shelves, and two clear plastic crisper drawers.
"Although we've only had this unit for approx. 45 days, we are pleased thus far," explains one Amazon reviewer. "It is installed in our garage where the temperatures can stay rather cool (36-50deg.: we live at a high altitude area). This is the factor that dictated the purchase of an 'Energy Star' refrigerator. The 'ES' units apparently are more efficient at properly controlling their temperatures in low ambient temperature environments, whereas non-ES require an additional controller. This unit seems to be doing just that. It is very quiet while running. This fridge is certainly large enough and appears attractive both inside (glass shelves) and out. As noted above, it is in the garage. I will occasionally go out late at night to retrieve item(s). The internal lighting is substantial. I am positively impressed with this unit." Did you know door handles can easily be reversed on almost any refrigerator door by removing a few screws and bolts?
For a dorm room, an office or any place you wish to have easy access to items without taking up a lot of space, this mini fridge from Black+Decker is a great option. It includes a full-width glass shelf, a full-width and half-width door shelf for two-liter and tall bottles, an adjustable thermostat control, leveling legs, reversible door, and a full-width freezer compartment with an ice cube tray.
One Amazon reviewer says, "When I received the refrigerator I was first very pleased with the look..clean, shiny, and had no scratches or dents. The weight of this unit made install (alone) a breeze. I was also pleased with how much I was able to stock in the unit; significantly more than my old one which is the same size. You basically can't even hear this unit running, so that is nice. Lastly, after two weeks of using the unit daily, I have found that the temperature is very even within. Really no complaints here!" Learn about simple fixes for the four most common refrigerator problems: an ice-maker breakdown, water leaking onto the floor, a cooling failure and too much noise.
This is another compact refrigerator that has received rave reviews. It's perfectly sized to keep drinks and small amounts of food cold in a small amount of space. It has a full shelf, small shelf, crisper, a separate internal freezer, and a special can dispenser and door bins to hold drinks.
One Amazon reviewer says, "Arrived in perfect condition, no dings, and set up in a flash. The freezer is large enough for a ice cube bin, 4 stacked Rubbermaid ice cube trays, and space between them for other things. The little door rack doesn't hold a lot, but it's nice to have. It's SUPER quiet. Even with my limitations, I was able to get it set up by myself- no assembly, just have to let it sit upright for a while before plugging it in." Here's how to install a refrigerator water filter.
The Kenmore Elite Stainless Steel Side-by-Side Refrigerator features a spacious 21.9 cubic feet of capacity. You can expect adjustable, spill-proof glass shelving and two clear crisper drawers that give you tons of storage and organization options throughout the fridge. An Amazon reviewer says, "Excellent fridge. I've had it for four months now. Really enjoy how quiet it is, lots more storage than my old bottom freezer fridge, and it has a very good ice making machine. The kids enjoy getting water for themselves (my old fridge did not have a water dispenser). Highly recommend. Installation was great from Amazon." Here's how to replace a refrigerator door gasket.

Karnopp wins graduate student research award from AERA
Jennifer Karnopp
Jennifer Karnopp has won the Educational Change Special Interest Group Graduate Student Research Award from the American Educational Research Association (AERA).
Karnopp earned her Ph.D. in History, Philosophy, and Policy in Education with a specialization in Educational Policy Studies and concentration in K-12 Leadership. She said she was elated and humbled to win this award, having admired the work of those in the Educational Change special interest group (SIG) for years.
Karnopp's dissertation was an exploratory mixed-methods study that examined educator knowledge-building about teaching practices related to the implementation of a new initiative in an under-resourced, rural district. Her research seeks to understand how educators navigate change implementation within their localized school contexts.
I have always had a passion for helping to make school learning experiences the best they can be for marginalized learners and students in under-resourced schools.
"I am committed to engaging in research that provides insight into the processes and practices that support school change," she said. "I see relationships as central to the work of teaching and leading to achieve school change goals, and so I am particularly interested in how organizational structures and the internal and external socio-political contexts in which schools are situated influence or mediate school improvement and change."
"I have always had a passion for helping to make school learning experiences the best they can be for marginalized learners and students in under-resourced schools," she added. "I've been a classroom teacher, a special educator and a school principal. As a field, we have a pretty good idea of what works for kids; the hard part is getting changes to stick. Helping to figure that out is what drives me."


The bedroom should be the one room in your home that is always inviting. It is the room that you wake up in and sleep. During the winter months as temperatures get cold you may notice that your bedroom could use some changes to make it feel more cozy, warm, and inviting.
There are ways that you can improve the look and feel of your bedroom and if maintained take very little time and effort. You also do not need to dish out a whole lot of cash either to get the look and feel that you desire.
1. Take a minimal approach to get the clutter out. The floor or carpet should be mostly clear and wall decor limited.
2. Make your bed every day and don't forget your feet. There is nothing less cozy than having your feet chilling while hanging out of the covers. When making your bed tuck the top sheet as well as the base blanket in both sides of the bed as well as at the foot.
3. Place a few extra pillows on the bed. Don't go overboard though as you will end up wasting money since you really can only sleep with so many.
4. Fluffy bedside rug. This will give your floor a more cozier look and feel, especially when getting in and out of bed.
5. Set of lamps or wall mounted lights. Choose ones that will give off warm lighting.
6. Keep one chair in the room. A chair comes in handy for sitting in front of the mirror to style hair or or apply makeup.
7. Flannel sheets. Opt for warm rich colors that will give a more cozier feeling such as red, maroon, plum, or brown.
8. Down comforter. This is a great investment that will make your bed feel much more warm, snug, and comfy.
9. Add some warm scents. In a medium sized saucepan add in a mixture of sliced oranges (with the peelings, apple slices, cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, rosemary, and some water. Simmer until the aroma begins to fill the kitchen. Transfer the saucepan to the bedroom and leave for a few hours to allow the scents to spread well.
10. Place a potted plant near the bed to add some life to your room. Choose flowers that thrive well with minimum lighting.
Do you have any tips for creating a more cozier and inviting bedroom?
I don't believe in making my bed and never make it, but I am loving all your other tips.
I love these tips. My bedroom needs a makeover.
I like the sound of using rich colours for flannels in particular maroon or burgundy which are my favourite colours. The rich hue is perfect for this season too.
I love these tips and seeing my bed made every morning.
I think some warm scents and flannel sheets would be the trick for me. My wife is the one who makes the bed though so she would get the final input I'm sure.
Awesome tips! Having a cozy bed definitely makes me sleep better at night.
We really need a new bedding set. Once we get that I'll be making the bed.
YES! I love fleece sheets in the winter time. They're so uber snuggly!
Getting rid of clutter helps me feel so much more relaxed!
A chair really does come in handy. You miss it if you take it out.
I love these tips. Making up the bed upon rising is a must for my family.
Great tips for starting the new year with a redesign.
I love your tips, I think my bed needs a new makeover Lol.
These are some great tips!! We just had to buy flannel sheets for this very reason!
Great tips. We're hoping to do up our bedroom next year so I'll bear them in mind!
Making your bed each day makes all the difference in the world. It's amazing the feeling of the room on the days I do vs. the ones I'm in a hurry and don't get it done.
This is a great article with some very helpful tips. I live my chair and cannot imagine my room without it. Happy holidays to you.

Tribal Figures
Pots and Vessels
Bamana Door Lock
Bamana door lock collected from the Kolokani area of Mali in 1958 by Jean-François Maurel and dated to 1935.
Tribe: Bamana
Origin: Mali
Approx Age: 1935
Dimensions cm: 46.5 tall on stand x 44 wide
Ref. Number: 0427
A stunning and large Bamana door lock and stand included, collected from the Kolokani area of Mali in 1958 by Jean-François Maurel and dated to 1935. Jean-François Maurel (died March 18, 2015) is palaeographer archivist.
Placed between 1958 and 1976 at the head of the archives of French West Africa, he succeeded in 1959 to convince the French authorities not to repatriate them to France. So the funds A.O.F. is an exception, as we like to Senegal today rank among "the Senegalese exceptions". Unlike indeed the Indochina archives, Madagascar, the French Equatorial Africa, or Algeria, on behalf of the principle of sovereignty, now find themselves at the center of archives from beyond Sea in Aix-en-Provence, the AOF archives remained in Dakar and are microfilmed since 1961.
Chief curator of the Centre of overseas archives (around 1979), Jean-François Maurel was elected correspondent of the Academy of Sciences overseas on 06/12/2002.
The form of and motifs employed in Bamana door locks usually are invested with symbolic messages despite their formal simplicity. These messages, both inabstract and representational imagery, can be deeply personal. The stylized figure is usually a representation of an ancestor whose presence is required to ensure protection from bad spirits or sorcery. An addition of animal representation such as the butterfly enhances the power of the ancestors and therefore provides additional protection. The presence on the door of a lock representing a woman was also believed to prevent the men from being unfaithful to their wives.
Such locks were given as gifts to young brides and symbolised sexual intercourse: a vertical female figure with a moving 'male' horizontal bolt. They were passed from generation to generation. The locks tended to be given names according to the message, ancestor or story to which their form and motifs referred.
The Bamana people live in West Africa, primarily in Mali. They also live in Guinea, Sénégal, Burkina Faso and Niger. They number almost three million today and comprise the majority of Mali's population (the Bamana dialect is the dominant dialect of Mali and is even spoken by non-Bamana Malians.) Today, most Bamana are nominally Muslim, but traditional tribal beliefs also remain strong.
This door lock is provocative in its symbolic form. Bamana mythology tells how the god Pemba created the butterfly Mpérémpéréni. But Mpérémpéréni was soon overcome by pride and offended Pemba, who in turn reduced the butterfly to a small and fragile creature. The butterfly also represents the deity Mouso Koroni who tried to be Pemba's equal thus offending Pemba. Perhaps this door lock was presented to a young bride and with it came the message that to avert misfortune she should avoid offending her husband.

The Pit presents "RocKabul", an extraordinary dive into the Afghan metal scene
"Would you put your life on the line for your music?"
As announced a couple of days ago, after the successful launch of THE PIT (aka the first ever SVOD platform dedicated to the rock & metal universe), the team behind The Pit Edition added massive new content and presents today 'RocKabul' available right now on the platform.
As suggest the title of the documentary, "RocKabul" tells the story about District Unknown, the first and only metal band from Afghanistan. It is a coming of age documentary which deals with youth identity and freedom of expression that existed on the precipitous of the fragile city of Kabul.
It shows the strength of the human spirit as Afghanistan's first and only metal band, District Unknown, reach out to the disenchanted Afghan youth, the expat community and eventually the outside world. However, by challenging this traditional Islamic republic, District Unknown literally put themselves and their fans in the firing line.
For reminder, THE PIT is and available right now through your best ISP.
Inside a decimated nation, witness the birth, rise and fall of Afghan rock music.
After living in Afghanistan for seven years, Australian journalist Travis Beard began recording local metal band District Unknown to chronicle a part of Afghan life that is rarely shown in Western media. The film features never before seen footage of Kabul and the underground expat party scene, at odds with an extremely conservative society. To challenge conflict with culture, Afghanistan's first metal band, District Unknown, literally put themselves and their followers in the firing line.

Did Chadwick Boseman Learn Trumpet For 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom'? He Was Dedicated
12/18/2020 Comments Off on Did Chadwick Boseman Learn Trumpet For 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom'? He Was Dedicated
Chadwick Boseman was a man of many talents. The late actor portrayed plenty of different characters during his career, from Marvel superhero T'Challa in Black Panther to Jackie Robinson in 42. But since his last-ever movie was released on Netflix on Dec. 18, fans are wondering if Chadwick Boseman learned trumpet for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, because his character's skills are seriously impressive.
The historical musical unfolds over the course of a 1927 Chicago recording session, as tensions grow between legendary blues singer Ma Rainey (played by Viola Davis) and her band. A lot of the drama is spurred by Boseman's character Levee, an ambitious trumpeteer looking to make a name for himself in the music industry.
Levee has formidable musical talent, which is even more impressive given that Boseman actually learned the instrument for the film. According to Boseman's costar, Colman Domingo (Euphoria), Boseman's work inspired the rest of the Ma Rainey's Black Bottom actors to master their characters' crafts, too.
"He truly learned to play. I think everyone was like, 'Oh, that's what you're doing, Chad? Okay, now I'm gonna learn too," Domingo noted in a behind-the-scenes featurette from Netflix's Strong Black Lead Twitter account.
"I love that [Chadwick's] like, 'Yeah, I'm gonna challenge you. We're gonna challenge each other,'" the actor continued.
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom star Glynn Turman added that Boseman's dedication to learning the trumpet also inspired the cast to practice more.
"We were all staying in the same hotel. It started sounding like, you know, a music school," Turman said. "You get off the elevator and you could hear Chadwick, you know, working on it. Made you say, 'Hey, I don't want to practice right now, but I better get to start practicing.'"
The Netflix movie is now dedicated to the late actor, who is receiving awards buzz for his performance. In fact, even though Boseman is no longer alive, there's a good chance the actor could win a posthumous Oscar for his unforgettable work as Levee when the 93rd Academy Awards take place in April 2021.
Regardless of whether Boseman is recognized by the Academy for his performance, fans can take comfort in knowing this once-in-a-lifetime actor had a once-in-a-lifetime final role.
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is on Netflix now.

Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Vivo has showcased a remarkable smartphone without any buttons or ports called the Vivo Apex. The smartphone not only looks fantastic but it also packs specifications that are worthy of a 2019 flagship. It is the second smartphone to be launched without buttons or ports after the Meizu Zero.
The company also revealed that 5G usage significantly bumps up the temperature of a smartphone. Therefore, it has used multi-layer graphite heat sinks and liquid-cooling technology to keep the temperatures on the Vivo Apex under check. Even though the smartphone does not have any physical buttons, it does have pressure sensing buttons that provide haptic feedback when touched.
The rear camera setup of the smartphone consists of dual 12 MP + 13 MP sensor along with an LED Flash. Sadly, the company did not provide any details about the battery capacity, chipset and other relevant specifications of the Vivo Apex.
Vivo has not revealed any details about the launch or availability of the buttonless and portless Vivo Apex. Last year Vivo showcased the original Apex smartphone which unfortunately never saw the light of day. But features from that device were seen on the Vivo Nex. Perhaps the technology and elements from this year's Apex will be seen on the next Nex smartphone.


It's a bit late for you, but it may help someone else... the beauty of i2c is that is an open drain bus: meaning that you (not the IC) pulls it high. Just pull the two lines to 3.3v instead of 5v, and both 5v and 3.3v devices can still talk over the bus (since 3.3v is still logic high on every IC I have seen).
May not be quite in the i2c spec (I am not sure, I am not an EE), and you may not want to do this for a commercial project, but I have done this for my own projects and it works beautifully!


A sign advertising available homes is posted at a housing development in Dublin, California.
Sales of new single-family homes surged to a 5½-year high in January, which could ease concerns of a sharp slowdown in the housing market.
The Commerce Department said Wednesday that sales jumped 9.6 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 468,000 units, the highest level since July 2008.
December's sales were revised up to a 427,000-unit pace from the previously reported 414,000-unit rate. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast new home sales, which are measured when contracts are signed, falling to a 400,000-unit pace in January.
Sales in the Northeast soared 73.7 percent to a seven-month high, while the South recorded a 10.4 percent rise in transactions to a more than five-year high.
These regions have borne the brunt of the unseasonably cold weather that has been blamed for holding back economic activity. Sales, however, tumbled 17.2 percent in the Midwest last month, while rising 11 percent in the West.
Housing lost momentum in the second half of last year following a run-up in mortgage rates and a persistent shortage of properties on the market.
Declines in residential construction and building permits and sales of previously owned homes last month had raised concerns that the sector, which is key to the economy's recovery, was slowing down sharply.
New home sales rose 2.2 percent compared with January 2013.
Last month, the supply of new houses on the market was unchanged at 184,000 units. The median price of a new home last month rose 3.4 percent from January 2013. At January's sales pace it would take 4.7 months to clear the supply of houses on the market. That was down from 5.2 months in December.
A supply of six months is normally considered a healthy balance between supply and demand.

Behind a Playhouse casting controversy
Bobby Steggert and Corbin Reid in La Jolla Playhouse's Page To Stage workshop production of "The Nightingale."
( / Craig Schwartz)
By James Hebert
La Jolla Playhouse is taking some heat on social media over its upcoming Page to Stage production of "The Nightingale," a new musical by the "Spring Awakening" team of composer Duncan Sheik and writer-lyricist Steven Sater.
The specific issue: The fact that the show, which is based on a Hans Christian Andersen fable set in China, has a mostly non-Asian cast.
The simmering controversy prompted Christopher Ashley, the Playhouse's artistic director, to post a Facebook update Wednesday afternoon thanking the commenters for their feedback and emphasizing that the show (like all Page to Stage workshops) is still a work in progress. (See Ashley's full statement at the end of this post.)
This actually is not the first time the casting issue has been brought up on the Web, and when I interviewed Sheik and Sater at the Playhouse in late June, I asked them for their take on it. First, both noted that an earlier version of the work (which has been through many incarnations over the course of a decade-plus -- see this backgrounder) did have an all-Asian cast.
"I have a lot to say about that," Sater said of how the casting fits into their interpretation of the fable. "Hans Christian Andersen was writing a satire of the West, and setting it in China. And we actually have done a great deal of research into Chinese history, and drawn on Chinese history. ... (But) we're very much retaining the world of fable – contemporary fable.
"On the subject of casting, I have to say, we had a workshop that was fully Asian, and it's not appropriate to the piece (we've written). It's not about Asia. What's really important to the piece is to have completely color-blind casting. Completely multicultural. Which is what we have. We have an African-American mother of a white son in our show now. Our cast is not even predominantly white. It's a mix."
Among the most prominent members of that cast are Charlayne Woodard (a Tony nominee for Broadway's "Ain't Misbehavin'") and Eisa Davis (Broadway's "Passing Strange," as well as a Pulitzer-finalist playwright); both are African-American. Nikki Castillo, the Serra Mesa youngster who plays the title character, is Filipino, according to her online bio.
Sheik elaborated a bit on the concept behind the musical, saying he had a "breakthrough" recently when he was reading about the history of the fairy tale (whose writer was Danish) and realized "it wasn't about telling this authentic kind of Chinese story. (Andersen) saw it as 'chinoiserie' (a term for Western art that is influenced in sometimes fanciful ways by Chinese culture). "(It was) that moment in Europe when it was all the rage. And so it's almost ersatz on purpose.
"It's mythic China. We're not trying to do something that's completely authentic to its time, because it's a fairy tale."
Here's Ashley's full statement:
"First I'd like to thank everyone engaging in the conversation about the casting choices for our Page To Stage workshop production of THE NIGHTINGALE. It was our intention from the onset to create a multicultural cast in a reinterpretation of this Hans Christian Andersen classic fable, blending East and West, past and present.
"We are still in the process of discovering this piece in the Page To Stage environment and fully acknowledge that some of our choices may change as the project develops. We truly value this feedback and look forward to continued discussions.
"In fact, it is just this kind of discourse for which the Playhouse's Page to Stage program was designed. These developmental workshop productions allow the space to explore questions about what a piece is and wants to become. Audience reactions and feedback help drive the changes that are made on a nightly basis, which are incorporated into the show throughout the run."

John Donne (Londres, 22 de enero de 1572 - 31 de marzo de 1631) fue el más importante poeta metafísico inglés de las épocas de la reina Isabel I (Elizabeth I, en inglés; 1559-1603), el rey Jacobo I (James I, en inglés; 1603-1625) y su hijo Carlos I (Charles I, en inglés; 1625-1642). La poesía metafísica es más o menos el equivalente a la poesía conceptista del Siglo de Oro español de la que es contemporánea. Su obra incluye: poesía amorosa, religiosa, traducciones, epigramas, elegías según la tradición de imitación de los Amores de Ovidio (es decir, en realidad son poemas de amor), canciones y sermones en prosa.

Carrera
La obra del joven Donne es notable por su estilo realista y sensual, e incluye muchos poemas y canciones, así como versos satíricos; el lenguaje vibrante y lo complicado de sus metáforas lo distingue de sus predecesores y la mayoría de sus coetáneos. Izaak Walton, su primer biógrafo, lo describe como un joven libertino. Sin embargo, los eruditos creen que esta puede ser más bien la imagen dada por un Donne ya viejo y eclesiástico; una manera de separar lo mejor posible al mozo impúdico del sacerdote serio y maduro. Después de estudiar teología, se convirtió al anglicanismo en la década de 1590.

Obtuvo el puesto de secretario de Sir Thomas Egerton, un destacado miembro de la corte, pero se enamoró de Anne More, la sobrina de Egerton, casándose con ella en secreto en 1601. Tuvieron doce hijos, de los cuales sólo siete llegaron a la edad adulta. El matrimonio secreto sin contar con el consentimiento del padre de Anne More significó que Donne tuvo que olvidar cualquier esperanza de progreso en su carrera profesional: cuando su suegro se enteró de lo que había pasado, usó su influencia para meter en la cárcel a Donne y a dos de sus amigos, de los cuales uno había oficiado la ceremonia y el otro había servido de testigo. No permanecieron presos por mucho tiempo. Egerton despidió a Donne, quien se convirtió en diputado (miembro del parlamento) del distrito de Brackley ese mismo año. Durante esta época es que escribió sus dos "Aniversarios": An Anatomy of the World (1611) y Of the Progress of the Soul (1612). Ambos poemas revelan su confianza en el orden de las cosas de tradición medieval y del primer Renacimiento, en contraste con la incertidumbre política, científica y filosófica que trajo la segunda mitad del Renacimiento y el comienzo del s. XVII.

Al salir de la cárcel Donne se reunió con su suegro y su esposa y se establecieron en un terreno del primo de esta en el condado de Surrey. La pareja pasó muchas dificultades económicas hasta que en 1609 Donne recibió la dote de su esposa al reconciliarse con su suegro. Su creciente familia lo obligó a buscar los favores del rey, por lo que, entre 1610 y 1611, escribió dos piezas en contra del catolicismo, Pseudo-Martyr e Ignatius his Conclave, a pesar de que muchos miembros de su familia, entre ellos su madre, aún eran católicos. (En el segundo título se hace referencia a Galileo y al parecer es la primera vez que su nombre aparece en un texto literario inglés.) Al rey James le complacieron ambos textos, pero se negó a ofrecerle otra cosa que no fueran cargos eclesiásticos. Donne se resistió a aceptarlos pero, después de un largo período de penurias económicas y de lucha consigo mismo, durante el cual fue dos veces miembro de parlamento (en 1601 y 1614), finalmente cedió a los deseos del rey y fue ordenado sacerdote anglicano en 1615. Su poesía adquirió un tono más profundo tras morir su esposa Anne el 15 de agosto de 1617; especialmente los que se consideran como sus "sonetos sagrados" (Holy Sonnets).

Después de asumir su cargo, Donne escribió un gran número de trabajos religiosos, como Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions (1624) y varios sermones, muchos de los cuales fueron publicados en vida y de los que se conservan 160. Se le consideraba un maestro de la elocuencia y su estilo único lo ayudó a convertirse en uno de los más grandes predicadores de sus tiempos. En 1621, Donne fue nombrado deán de la catedral de San Pablo (Saint Paul's Cathedral), la antigua catedral gótica de Londres destruida en el incendio de 1666, cargo que ocupó hasta su muerte. Contrajo una grave enfermedad en 1623, durante la cual escribió su obra Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions.  El 25 de febrero de 1631 predicó su último sermón como deán de la catedral de San Pablo, el conocido como Death's Duell, que sus oyentes interpretaron como el sermón de su propio funeral. Posteriormente se retiró a su cámara y mandó se le hiciese un retrato para el que posó envuelto en la mortaja con la que lo enterraron tras su muerte, acaecida el 14 de marzo de 1631.

Fue sepultado en la catedral de San Pablo. El monumento original a John Donne, escoltado por Nicholas Stone, fue salvado y está hoy en la nueva catedral.

Estilo

A John Donne se le considera un maestro del "concepto" (conceit), que combina un objeto (la imagen) y una idea (el significado) formando así una metáfora, generalmente estableciendo una relación sorprendente por lo extraña y a veces peregrina entre ambos elementos. En muchos de sus textos, los conceptos están encadenados unos con otros dando lugar así a lo que normalmente se denomina "concepto extendido" (extended conceit) Al contrario de las metáforas de otros poetas isabelinos, atados al estilo de Petrarca, que de forma monótona repiten las metáforas petrarquistas (como la rosa por el rubor de las mejillas, las perlas por los dientes, los lirios o la nieve por la blancura de la piel o los hilos de oro por los cabellos), las metáforas usadas por los poetas metafísicos logran una mayor profundidad al relacionar objetos completamente distintos con ideas también nuevas. Un ejemplo famoso puede sacarse de A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning, donde Donne expresa la separación de dos amantes con la imagen de las patas de un compás. Su poesía también muestra una gran predisposición por la experimentación métrica.

La poesía de Donne se caracteriza por su notable ingenio, el responsable de los conceptos novedosos, las paradojas, juegos de palabras y sutiles y brillantes analogías. Sus poemas suelen ser irónicos y cínicos, sobre todo cuando trata los motivos del hombre y el amor en los poemas presuntamente escritos en sus años de juventud. Temas comunes en sus poemas son el amor verdadero que une a los amantes fieles, la muerte (especialmente en su juventud y tras morir su esposa) y la religión.

Two BMTC bus drivers were allegedly beaten up by angry motorists in Banashankari in separate incidents.
In the first incident, Ravi B.S., 38, a BMTC driver was heading to Majestic from Banashankari bus stand. He was intercepted by three men on a scooter, who assaulted him on the busy K.R. Road, on Monday around 8 p.m.
In his complaint, Ravi said that the accused were trying to overtake the bus from the left side. They allegedly shouted and abused him for not letting them pass, but he ignored them. The trio intercepted the bus near Uma Maheshwar temple. One of them smashed the window next to the driver seat with a spanner.
Ravi sustained injuries on his cheek and forehead when the glass shattered. A woman police constable, who was seated close to him, was also injured.
In the second incident, three men on a motorcycle allegedly assaulted BMTC driver D.J. Swamy, accusing him of blocking a road in Banashankari, on Tuesday afternoon.
Swamy had parked his bus at the designated bus stop near Banashankari temple when the trio allegedly abused him while accusing him of blocking their way. When Swamy objected, they allegedly assaulted him up, he told the police. Based on their complaints, the police have taken up two cases under Sections 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of duty), 504 (breach of peace) and 323 (assault).
"We are verifying CCTV footage to identify the accused," a senior police officer said.
V. Ponnuraj, Managing Director, BMTC, said the transport corporation had come across at least five such cases in the last two months, and in none of them were BMTC staff at fault. "In one case, a driver was beaten up. As the incident happened near a bus stand, the other drivers joined him in retaliating. We are training our staff when it comes to interacting with passengers and others. At the same time, we request motorists to be patient. If they have a problem with our staff, we have multiple grievance redressal forums," he said.
Vinay Sreenivasa from the Bus Prayanikara Vedike agreed. "There are complaints about buses being driven rashly or of not being stopped at designated stops. But there are more cases of harassment of drivers. It is very difficult to drive buses in Bengaluru. Plus, drivers are given unrealistic targets, as the BMTC has not revised its schedule for several years. Bus workers also need a proper grievance redressal mechanism," he said.


The Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett, the FAI World Long Distance Gas Balloon Championship, is the oldest and most prestigious event in aviation and the ultimate challenge for the pilots.
It is a story full of adventure, skill, courage, survival and luck. The goal is simple: to fly the furthest non-stop distance from the launch site. The international competition was initiated by adventurer and newspaper tycoon James Gordon Bennett Jr. in 1906. Little did he know that this race was to continue until today.
58th Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett.
The 59th edition is hosted in Pau, France, on the northern edge of the Pyrenees, 100 km from the Atlantic Ocean and 50km from Spain. In a few days 16 teams of the world's best gas balloon pilots representing 8 nations will compete. Given the current weather-outlook, all looks for a "go" on Friday night around sunset at the Hippodrome of Pau. The Prize Ceremony will be held on Friday, 4 September at the Hippodrome of Pau with a spectacular Closing Ceremony to finish the event.
The website www.gordonbennett.aero will provide 24/7 live tracking with all the updates on the pilot's routes. The chatbox on that tracking page offers the opportunity for comments and encouragements for the teams while flying in European skies.
The Swiss broadcaster La Télé will offer a live streaming of the launch on Friday from 22.00, and will broadcast special programmes on 27, 28, 29 and 30 August at 18.00.
FAI staff are in Pau on the scene and will update the Social Media with the most important information of the prestigious event. Follow us on Instagram and on the FAI or competition Facebook pages.

Gay man shut out of the estate of his deceased lover of 14 years: "B.C. Supreme Court Justice Marion Allan has ruled 42-year-old Reza Chowdhury has no claim to an East Vancouver home he says he shared with Peter Argenti. The court agrees Mr. Argenti had a 14-year relationship with Mr. Chowdhury but kept it a deep secret, fearing his conservative, Catholic family and friends would never understand if he admitted his homosexuality. Mr. Chowdhury was a refugee from Bangladesh. He says he lived with Mr. Argenti in the home and has a claim to it as a common-law spouse. But the court says there is no indication of a connection between Mr. Chowdhury and anything to do with the house, even though Mr. Chowdhury lived there while managing and cooking at a restaurant owned by Mr. Argenti."

Stephen was drenched. He took a beat, then signalled for his own ammunition for about twenty seconds until Alison (Silverman) ran and gave him her bottle of water, and Stephen retaliated. The two of them sat for a very uncomfortable second looking like two wet cats. Then Stephen thanked him for coming. I really don't think it was planned, since Stephen had another bit to introduce and a full interview left to do. They had to get him a new jacket and even broke out a blowdryer."
