If you have never been on a cruise holiday before, you probably have lots of questions. We at Iglu Cruise have put together a selection of some of the more popular questions and answers below. If you have any additional queries about your first cruise holiday, we have many more answers on our frequently asked questions.
Whether you're new to cruise or have booked and still have some queries, we've put together a selection of some of the more popular questions and answers below.
Cruise holidays represent excellent value for money. When calculating the cost of a cruise holiday you should bear in mind that your cruise price includes your accommodation, meals, daytime activities and evening entertainment. All this for less than £70 per day on some of our cheap cruises. We often have offers which will include a free drinks package or buy one cruise, get one half price for example. On a luxury cruise or river cruise, you can expect a lot more to be included.
Cruise holidays are abundant all year round. Most cruise lines operate when and where the weather is good. Enjoy European cruises and Mediterranean cruises in the summer months and Caribbean cruises and Dubai cruises in the winter, when most cruise ships transfer destinations in order to take advantage of the good weather.
This is not usually a problem these days as most cruise ships are equipped with modern stabiliser systems and they generally cruise around in calm waters. If sea sickness really concerns you then a river cruise would be the best option.
All cruise cabins have en-suite bathrooms (bath and/or shower), television, telephones, hairdryers and many have sea views or a balcony. The higher grade cabins are more spacious and often have lounge areas to sit and relax in, allowing you to indulge in a luxury cruise holiday.
There's so much to do on a cruise holiday that you'll never get bored. Cruise ships have a diverse range of activities including sports facilities, children's activity programmes, internet cafes, lectures, quizzes, competitions, bars, restaurants, cinemas, discos, dancing and shows. Also, we must not forget that cruise holidays will allow you the opportunity to explore a whole variety of different cities and countries. Or, if you prefer you can simply relax and do absolutely nothing on your first time cruise holiday!
Cruise holidays are great for everyone and no longer have the image of being for a small select group of people. Different cruise ships appeal to different ages. All you need to do is choose the one that appeals to you for your first time cruise holiday.
If you are taking your family on a first time cruise holiday, do not worry. Cruises are particularly popular with families, with most cruise ships having their own kid's clubs programmes with trained staff on hand to keep the youngsters entertained. Find out more about family cruise holidays with our guide to family cruises or read about Dave's first family cruise.
You needn't feel trapped on a cruise holiday. Most cruise ships, particularly those cruising in the Mediterranean or the Caribbean, will have a port of call nearly every day. You can choose one of the shore excursions or simply go off on your own to explore. If you want to spend more time on land, why not combine a cruise holiday and beach holiday with a cruise and stay holiday.

When Pantone forecasts the colour of the year, the masses take note. The anticipation was high as they announced that PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet will takeover our wardrobes, interiors, Pinterest boards and more.
Last year we embraced Greenery a clean and earthy colour that strutted its way into every trend, and we loved it.
Now, we're moving past being grounded as we look to the future.
"We are living in a time that requires inventiveness and imagination. It is this kind of creative, inspiration that is indigenous to PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet, a blue-based purple that takes our awareness and potential to a higher level. From exploring new technologies and the greater galaxy, to artistic expression and spiritual reflection, intuitive Ultra Violet lights the way to what is yet to come," stated Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institution, Leatrice Elseman.
From a fashion and beauty perspective, 2018 will welcome violet coloured hair, our makeup bags will be filled with moody variations in eye makeup pallets, lipsticks and nail polishes. We can also expect to see this purple shade become the biggest fashion colour to hang in our wardrobes.
If you're feeling a little overwhelmed and uncertain on how to embrace this hue, don't fret. According to PANTONE, "…Ultra Violet symbolizes experimentation and non-conformity, spurring individuals to imagine their unique mark on the world, and push boundaries through creative outlets." So really, you can do no wrong.
We recommend adding a little Ultra Violet here and there. It may begin with some flowers in your home, a scarf on you bag or even some purple shoes, whatever it may be start small and work you way up. Before you know it, you'll be turning heads in a statement head-to-toe pants suit or an oversized checkered coat in the leading colourway.

LGBTQIA+ Health Services
PCHC is committed to the health and wellbeing of all of our patients and communities. We strive to provide an environment that is inclusive, patient-centered, welcoming, and affirming to all.
For the past 10 years in a row, PCHC has been recognized as a Leader in LGBTQIA+ Healthcare Equality by the Human Rights Campaign. This means that our practices and policies value the equality and inclusion of LGBTQIA+ patients, visitors, and employees.
On June 12, 2020, the Trump administration finalized a rule that removes nondiscrimination protections for people who identify as LGBBTQIA+ when it comes to obtaining and using health care and health insurance. The rule is set to go into effect by mid-August, 2020. By way of this new rule, the Trump administration now defines "sex discrimination" under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act as only applying when someone faces discrimination for being female or male, and does not protect people from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity in the contexts of health care and health insurance.
In response to this decision by the Trump administration, PCHC proudly reaffirms our full commitment to caring for all patients, and specifically those in our LGBTQIA+ communities. PCHC does not discriminate on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, gender identity or on any aspect of an individual's circumstances, including whether a patient identifies as transgender, cisgender, or at any place on the gender, orientation, or expression spectrum.
During this Pride Month we are especially pleased to once again be recognized for the 10th consecutive year as a Leader in LGBTQIA+ Healthcare Equality and we are buoyed by the recent Supreme Court ruling which affirmed that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it unlawful for employers to discriminate against individuals on the basis of sex, which means on the basis or biological sex, sexual orientation, gender expression and gender identify in employment.
Our role as a community health center is to serve all, including those who have been historically disenfranchised, subjected to discrimination, and marginalized. We are, and will remain unwavering in our commitment to this work.
Talking To Your Provider:
One of the keys to good healthcare is being open with your primary care provider. Health professionals treating you need to know about your sexual orientation, gender expression and gender identity to provider you with the best possible care. For tips on having these conversations with your healthcare providers, go to: www.hrc.org/resources
Health Screenings:
All individuals who are born with either male or female reproductive organs—regardless of the individual's gender expression, gender identify and/or sexual orientation—may be at risk for certain conditions like breast, cervical, or prostate cancer, for example. Despite these risks, many individuals do not seek regular health screenings, like pap tests, pelvic or prostate exams, or mammograms because of fears of being misunderstood, judged, or stigmatized in the health care setting.
PCHC providers work with each patient to understand their unique and individual circumstances and needs, and our organizational philosophy and history as a community health center means that we recognize the inherent dignity, worth, and value of each and every individual. We work hard to make sure that our patients feel comfortable having discussions with providers about all of their health needs and that we structure, schedule, and provide care in a setting that is affirming and comfortable for all patients. We won't get it right all the time, but we want to learn, improve, and do better. We value feedback. We value you.
"What Do I Do?" Handbook:
Of the 1.2 million people living with HIV in the United States, roughly one in seven does not know their HIV status. Approximately 40,000 people are diagnosed with HIV each year, with one in five cases occurring among youth between the ages of 13 and 24. Gay and bisexual men and transgender women, particularly of color, continue to bear the biggest burden. For more information, visit: www.hrc.org/whatdoido

Nepse Sets Historic Record in Share Market
November 27: Nepal Stock Exchange (Nepse) set a new record on Thursday (November 26) at a time when the country's economy is reeling under the impact of coronavirus. The share market's index has reached an all time high while the transaction amount is also the highest record till date.
On Thursday, Nepse index surpassed the previous record of 1881 points to close at 1893. The Nepse index rose by 18.43 points to set the new record. The previous record was set on July 27, 2016.
Share transaction was also the highest on Thursday in terms of monetary value. Shares of 201 companies were traded for a record of Rs 7.61 billion. Transaction of 7.18 million units of shares of those 201 companies took place on Thursday.
The number of units traded and the number of times transaction took place were also unprecedented on the same day.
It is estimated that the investors have increased investment expecting a decline in interest rate of banks due to the drop in base rates of banks. Analysts say that the investors have become attracted to the share market as there is no where to invest and they get only two percent interest from saving.
Share transaction expert Dilip Munkarmi says that the investors' confidence has been restored believing that the bearish cycle is over. He, however, believes that the share market is yet to become stable.


present Asramam and Sri Bhagavan used to inquire about their welfare and that of their family with all kindness.
For them all, Sri Bhagavan was only Swami and not Sri Bhagavan.
The single most powerful memory of those days in my personal experience of Bhagavan occurred one day when I accompanied my mother to the ashram. I was about 5 years old at the time. Bhagavan was sitting on a small pial (raised platform) in the thatched room adjoining the Old Hall. The place is where Bhagavan's samadhi is now. The platform faced east whereas in the Old Hall Bhagavan faced south. My mother prostrated before Bhagavn in the traditional way and I who was standing next to her, suddenly climbed on her back, and sat there as if riding a horse or an elephant. My mother became very angry and tried to push me down. But Bhagavan, seeing my innocent mischief, smiled and enjoyed the fun. He bade my mother not to scold or push but stay in that prostrated posture for a few seconds more. When I recollect this incident I become enthralled at the memory of his beautiful, smiling countenance. He loved children and their playful mischief.
When Bhagavan was living on the hill, a big monkey came one day when he was having his food, and sat near him. Bhagavan was about to put a morsel of food into his mouth, but when he saw the monkey he gave it the morsel. The monkey took it, put it on the plate and gave Bhagavan a square slap on the cheek. "What do you mean, you fellow? Why are you angry? I gave you the first morsel!� exclaimed Bhagavan. Then he understood his mistake. It was a king monkey and he had to be treated in the right royal manner. Bhagavan called for a separate leaf plate and a full meal was served to the king, who ate it all with dignity and proudly went away.
One day the cow Lakshmi came to the Hall. She went straight to Bhagavan, put her head on Bhagavan's shoulder and wept. Bhagavan sat very quietly and gently stroked her head. "Why are you so sad?� he would whisper in her ears. "Who has hurt you? Cheer up, my dear, stop crying. I am here to befriend you.� Lakshmi stopped crying, gave Bhagavan a few licks and went away, comforted.
In 1924 there was a robbery at the Ashram. One summer night Sri Ramana and four of his companions were sleeping in one of the thatched huts near the windows, when they heard thieves trying to climb in through the window. Kunju Swami was furious and wanted to confront the thieves, but Ramana dissuaded him saying,"Let these robbers play their role; we shall stick to ours. Let them do what they like; it is for us to bear and forebear. Let us not interfere with them.� He suggested to the thieves that he and his companions would leave the hut so that they could take whatever they wanted. But when they came out, the robbers beat them with sticks. They also beat Ramana on his thigh, who said, "If you are not satisfied yet, you may strike the other leg also.� And to Ramakrishna, who wanted to protect him, he said humorously, that he had only received his appropriate puja (puja in Tamil means worship but also beating).
The Ashram inmates waited in the northern hut while the thieves rummaged through everything. The things they found, however, were worth no more than a few rupees. Being extremely disappointed and not willing to believe that this was everything, one of them returned brandishing a stick and threatened, "Where is your money, where do you keep that?� Maharshi answered that there was no money as they were poor sadhus living upon alms.
At two in the morning the thieves finally left and Kunju Swami, who had managed to escape to get help from town, returned accompanied by several policemen. But Ramana was sitting in the northern hall conversing calmly with his disciples about spiritual matters as if nothing had happened.
beat us. No such thing had happened.
Once somebody brought Bhagavan a wounded dove. Bhagavan held it in his hands for some time and then asked the devotees gathered in the hall, "Who will take good care of this bird until it is quite well?" No offer came. Some time back the Maharani of Baroda had presented a white peacock to the Asramam. and everybody was eager to take charge of it. Bhagavan looked around and started talking to the Dove, "What a pity you are not a peacock. You are a useless little thing, not a costly bird presented by a Maharani. Who wants you? Who will care for you?" The dove was kept in the Asramam in a clumsy cage, became well and flew away. But the lesson of universal compassion remained.
fall into the eyes of the bird. The bird opened its eyes, adjusted itself and then flew away!
and lifts him out by the horns.
(* Siva in the temple of Kudlagi, where there is confluence of Tunghabadra and Kaveri.
While doing work, Bhagavan had a way of teaching the highest wisdom through homely, casual remarks. One night when a vegetable grown in England was being cut, a worker remarked, "how nice it would be if this vegetable could be grown in our Asramam garden!" At once Bhagavan retorted saying, "Where do you think it was grown? That was also our garden. Otherwise how could we get it? Indeed all gardens in the word are our Asramam gardens!" Another time when 'sAmbAr' was being boiled, Bhagavan observed, "It must be boiled fully and all the effervescence must completely subside. Only then will it be good and acquire the right taste."
In another ofg my darshans of Bhagavan a rich zamindAr came in a car and sat before Ramana in the midst of many devotees, without prostrating to Bhagavan as others usually did. Then he spoke thus to Ramana, "All these people bring fruits or other things to Bhagavan and prostrate before Him. But I don't bring anything, nor do I prostrate. I simply come and sit." At once Bhagavan said, "yes, they bring plantains etc., just like bringing sugar candy to sugar gaNapatI.
Oh, It was all staged!
One day, the attendant Venkataratnam was accompanying Bhagavan up the hill. There is a steep stretch with steps at one particular place on the path from the Asramam to Skandasramam. While climbing down Bhagavan would often manoeuvre this inclined portion by bracing himself on a big rock, planing his stick firmly against the ledge and descending slowly. One day some devotees evidently asked a young booy to wait at this place and approach Bhagavan as he passed, and take hold of his feet. The youngster said to him, "Bhagavan, if you do not gant me mukti, I will not let go of your feet." Apparently the devotees were hiding themselves behind the nearby bushes. Bracing himself with his stick, Bhagavan said, "Adei, it is you who are in a position to give mukti because if you don't let go of my feet, I am going to fall and attain complete release in this very moment." At these words the boy became frightened and took to his heels. Astonished by this strange happening Venkataratnam asked who the boy could have been and what his unusual episode could mean. Bhagavan's ready reply was, "Oh, It was all staged."
slippers. But no one was to be seen. Sri Bhagavan asked: Did you also hear the sound? The attendant became fearful.
Sri Bhagavan said: Nothing to worry. Some siddha purusha is walking unseen!
an incident about Bhagavan's closeness to animals. A diseased dog was trying to enter the gates of Ramanashram daily for 3 days. Other dogs and some Ashram people kept driving it away. One night Bhagavan slowly walked out of the hall without disturbing anyone. The person attending him thought he was going to the bathroom and followed him at a distance. After a couple of minutes, when Bhagavan did not return, he went looking for him and heard Bhagavan's voice saying "Thrupthiyachaa?� "Podhumaa ?� (Is it enough ?, Are you satisfied?). He found Bhagavan squatting next to the diseased dog. The dog was licking Bhagavan all over his body including his face while Bhagavan was talking to the dog with these words. After a few minutes, Bhagavan got up and slept on the cot without bothering to clean himself. Next day morning, the Ashramites found the dog lying dead near the entrance. The dog was holding on to its life to have Bhagavan's Darshan.
The dog seems to say: O Siva-Ramana! Today, I could see your golden feet, and attained liberation!


American track and field star David Laut won a bronze medal in shot put at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. When he retired, he settled in Oxnard, California where he became the athletic director for Hueneme High School. A job he kept for 10 years. In August 2009, Laut was in the media again. He had been shot six times, including a fatal shot to the back of the head, in his backyard at the age of 52.
It was Dave's wife Jane who called 911. She said she saw something move outside the house so her husband went to check. That's when she said she heard shots fired. Months later, she confessed to shooting Laut in self-defense and hiding the gun in a grandfather clock. She said her husband of 29 years was abusive and when intoxicated "he said he was going to kill her after he killed their 10-year-old son and their dogs." On March 30, 2016, Laut was found guilty of first-degree murder and will receive 50 years to life in prison. Note: In 2015, Laut refused to plead guilty to manslaughter (without the gun allegation) in return for a six-year sentence. Dateline NBC will air its investigative report on Friday, April 1 at 10pm.

Must a planned Split Duty have a FDP that exceeds the Maximum? Or is it not a requirement to consider such flight a Split Duty?
Is this planned flight a Split Duty (because it has a break of 03h15m) or does it have to have a Break and exceed the Max FDP?
Lets first look at the break, the 3:15 ground time would seem to me a little low to actually qualify as a break, under the split duty rules.
Split duty is defined in ORO.FTL.220, and is further clarified in CS FTL.1.220.
To qualify as a break, the minimum duration is 3:00; a break excludes the time for post and pre-flight duties, and has a minimum travel time of 0:30 (CS FTL.1.220(b)). So with a ground time of 3:15, we subtract the minimum 30 minutes travel time, and we have 2:45, we would also need to reduce that time by the amount of post/pre flight duties; allow me to assume, 0:15 and 0:45 respectively, whereby the break is now only 1:45, Obviously this is less than 3:00 so no extension to the FDP under Split Duty would be permitted. and the FDP limit would remain at 13:00.
This in effect means that the crew member may remain on FDP until 00:10 the next day before the need to extend under ORO.FTL.205 (f) Commanders Discretion, would be required..
The Basic FDP limit remains 13:00, but the Split Duty Extension is 1:30, So the scheduled FDP limit is 14:30.
Meaning that the crew could remain on FDP until 01:40 the next day = 11:10 + 13:00 + 1:30, before an extension under ORO.FTL.205 (f) will need to be applied.
The specifics concerning post/preflight duties should be specified in your Operations Manual as well as the travel time to/from the accommodation.
I caution you, I am not with the EASA or any CAA, airline or union, so my opinion may not be the same. Please check with your Airline first.
Doesn't matter if we have 7 or 8h breaks?
The duration of the scheduled break (6:00 or more) requires a suitable accommodation, like wise if the break touches any portion of the WOCL.
When a suitable accommodation is provided, the extension is 50% of the actual break provided.
When a suitable accommodation is NOT provided, the extension is 50% of the portion of the actual break that does not touch WOCL.
The minimum duration of a break is 3:00, and the break does not include post/pre-flight duties or traveling to/from the accommodation/suitable accommodation.
e.g. I as a cabin crew is scheduled or planned for regular pattern let's say DEL – BOM – DEL ..
Now after reaching back to Del , can a rostering schedule us for another sector after a break and calling it a split duty ??

Q: How to plot particular piecewise defined functions in mathematica How to plot such functions in Mathematica?
Let $a_0, p,g,c$ be any positive integers, defining:
$$a_{n+1} = \begin{cases}\frac{a_n}{p} &, a_n \text{ divisible by p}\\ ga_n +c &, a_n \text{ odd}. \end{cases}$$
PS I am new to Mathematica, I am really sorry if my ignorance is borderline offensive.

Injunctions and disputed facts: Mendonca v Mason [2013] VSC 516
Mendonca v Mason [2013] VSC 516 was a hearing before Macaulay J in the Supreme Court of Victoria in which a tenant was seeking to restrain a landlord from taking possession of a property in which the tenant resided. In essence, a mortgagee took over from an insolvent landlord and claimed that she had not been paid and that the lease documents were non-existent. The tenant claimed to have paid the insolvent landlord and the two mortgagees, and that being removed from the premises would leave him homeless. The mortgagee alleged that payment to anyone other than her did not discharge the obligations to her.
Macaulay J discussed the principles for granting interlocutory injunctions. In particular, His Honour considered that contested facts do not automatically satisfy the 'serious question to be tried' limb, and that adequacy of damages is to be considered in the context of whether the defendant succeeded at trial.
The end result was that Macaulay J dismissed the injunction, finding that there was serious question to be tried, albeit a weak case, but that damages were an adequate remedy and that the balance of convenience favoured the mortgagee. In particular, Macaulay J questioned how the tenant could claim that he would be homeless when he claims to have been paying rent to the landlord and mortgagees on an ongoing basis, and he could apply those payments elsewhere.
On a 'serious question to be tried', His Honour said:
[21] Accepting that a genuine conflict on the evidence about a fact important to the claim often denotes a 'serious question' for trial, the mere existence of that conflict does not foreclose the court's consideration of the strength of the plaintiff's claim. In ABC v O'Neill, Gummow and Hayne JJ (Gleeson CJ and Crennan J agreeing) rejected the idea that so long as the court is satisfied that there is a question for determination that is not frivolous and vexatious there will necessarily be a serious question to be tried sufficient to satisfy the first of the usual elements. Instead, their Honours described the 'governing consideration' as 'the strength of the probability of ultimate success [which] depends upon the nature of the rights asserted and the practical consequences likely to flow from the interlocutory order sought'.
[22] Therefore, it is not necessarily sufficient, in order to shift the focus solely to the balance of convenience (including the adequacy of damages), for a plaintiff to simply identify a contested fact upon which his or her entitlement to relief depends. In assessing the seriousness of the question to be tried, the court will also consider the strength of the probability of success. The degree to which the court may wish to consider that relative strength will vary from case to case.
On whether damages are an adequate remedy, His Honour said:
[18] The second consideration (often combined with the third) is whether or not damages would be an adequate remedy.
[36] If I declined to order an interlocutory injunction, yet Mendonca [the tenant] ultimately succeeded at trial, in my view damages would be an adequate remedy. In fact, it was not specifically put to me that damages would not be an adequate remedy.
The matter went on to appeal shortly after the decision, and the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal. The special leave application was dismissed also.

As you probably have seen over the last several months, there has been a dramatic increase in the "awareness" of social media outside of the core "geek" crowd. In fact, Twitter has become so mainstream that the likes of CNN and Ashton Kutcher are battling to become the first Twitterer to reach 1 million followers. Other celebrities have been quick to jump on the bandwagon as well. I even had the pleasure of being at the first Tweet-up for fans of a sports team when the Phoenix Suns got a bunch of us together for a game and some after-game socializing which culminated in the "surprise" appearance of Shaq, aka @The_Real_Shaq. My fiance, Stephanie, and my son, Noah, got lucky enough to even get a picture with him.
On Friday, April 17th, Twitter will go even more mainstream. At 4pm EST, the one and only Oprah Winfrey will enter the Twitterverse (although as of this writing, she already has 56000+ followers without even having posted a single Tweet). I'm sure you're asking yourself "Greg, do you actually watch Oprah…?!" Well, no. Although I have been known to have it on "in the background" while working in a hotel room.
The excitement surrounding Oprah's interest in Twitter is much more narcissistic. While going about our day today, Stephanie and I received an email from one of Oprah's producers. Apparently in doing their research for the show, they came across my Twitter proposal – which has now been acknowledged as the "first Twitter proposal". According to the producer, we'll be mentioned toward the end of the show – they've asked our permission to republish our Twitter exchange as well as to show a picture of us on-air. Too cool!
We'll have our Tivo set – but if you stumble across the piece on YouTube, be sure to let me know! Who knows, maybe we'll have to put Oprah on the wedding invite list for this summer! Cheers!
Fast & Furious with CS4 – seriously!
Whether or not you like the movie, the website for the fourth Fast & Furious is way cool! Of course every movie has a microsite these days, but what makes this one even more special is that Creative Suite 4 was involved in the entire production of the site and ad banners, as well as the creation of the AIR-based desktop application and an iPhone application. Of course there's tons of video on the site, that was treated by After Effects CS4 and encoded for delivery via Flash – and the new 3D capabilities in Flash Professional CS4 really shine in the site's navigation. What I loved seeing most, though, is that the website was optimized for the iPhone using Dreamweaver CS4!
Of course, you've heard all of us from Adobe talking about the time-savings that CS4 users benefit from – and this project is a real testimonial to that. In fact, if you want to read more about the project and what products were used, we've just posted a case study on the Adobe web site.

Q: Check if a field exists and it's not null I need to fetch a value from a table with three possibilities: 1) The field exists and it's not null, so it returns the value of the field 2) the field exists but it's null, so it returns is-null-string 3) The field doesn't exists, so it returns not-existing-string
I am trying to run this query but I get this error message #1054 - Unknown column 'm.my_field' in 'field list'

Any idea how can I get it done in mysql 5.6?

A: What you are looking for is DESCRIBE:
DESCRIBE my_table;

Look at the result to see if your field exists. Note, you don't want this code to be in your application. You need to know your table fields to run queries. You might only use this to generate some boilerplate code.

The Ferrari F310, and its evolution, the F310B, were the Formula One racing cars with which the Ferrari team competed in the  and  seasons. It was driven in both years by Michael Schumacher and Eddie Irvine.

This was the first Ferrari Formula One car to run on Shell fuel since the 1970s.

F310

The F310 proved to be a front-running car, but without the outright pace or superb reliability which led to the Williams FW18s dominating 1996.  Schumacher was able to win three Grands Prix, but the F310's shortcomings were shown by Irvine's run of eight consecutive retirements, most of them mechanical, as well as three straight double retirements. Schumacher was realistic about his aims for the season, saying that he hoped to win a few races before challenging for the title in 1997. Development also proved troublesome, with the cars having to use the  car's parts early in the season whilst structural problems were cured.

This car was notable as being the first Ferrari F1 car to use the then more conventional V10 engine format, because a V10 engine offered the best compromise between power and fuel efficiency; the V12 was powerful but thirsty, and the V8 lacked the straightline speed of the V10. The name F310 refers to the engine type, a 3 litre, 10 cylinder (V10) - a nomenclature consistent with that used for Ferrari's F1 cars from 1966 to 1980 (the 312, 312B and 312T), and similar to that used for the 2006 Ferrari 248. The engine was also called the 310. It was engineered by former Honda technician Osamu Goto.

Initially, the F310 was the only car in the 1996 field to have a low nose section, with the other teams having all switched to the more aerodynamically efficient high nose which was first seen on the 1990 Tyrrell 019. The high cockpit sides were meant to aid cooling and aerodynamics but in fact had the opposite effect. From the start, however, chief designer John Barnard had announced his intentions to design a high nose for the car, saying that the F310 would be an ongoing project with the ultimate goal to win the world championship. The high nose was eventually adopted permanently from the Canadian Grand Prix onwards. The F310 was the first F1 car to feature the dashboard gauges mounted to the steering wheel. In an interview in 2012, Irvine said he did not have fond memories of the F310, calling it "an awful car", a "piece of junk", and "almost undriveable", as did John Barnard, who admitted that the car "wasn't very good". Schumacher himself, reflecting many years later on the F310, referred to it as "a parachute."

F310B

With the hiring of Rory Byrne and Ross Brawn to replace Barnard (who left mid-season in 1997 after Jean Todt decided the entire team including the design offices had to go back to Italy; and with Barnard not wanting to relocate to Italy because of personal reasons, Ferrari sold him the British-based Ferrari design offices, Ferrari Design and Development); part of the dream-team that would give Ferrari six straight Constructors' Championships from  to , they used the F310 as a base for the F310B, improving its shape and mechanicals, making a 5 time winning car in the process.

The F310B was better performing and much more reliable than its predecessor but suffered stability issues at the front of the car. A new front wing assembly introduced shortly after Brawn and Byrne joined the team improved the package.

Regardless, double-champion Michael Schumacher was true on his 1995 promise that "in 1996 we will win three grands prix, then in 1997 we will challenge for the championship" by taking the challenge to the last round. He was, however, unable to hold off a storming drive by title challenger Jacques Villeneuve; a botched attempt by Schumacher at defending his position ended up with him in the gravel, retired, and eventually disqualified from the 1997 season results. The team nonetheless retained their constructors' points.

In total, the F310 and F310B won eight Grands Prix, were on the podium 22 times, and achieved 7 pole positions and 172 points.

The car appears in the video game F1 2013 as one of the classic cars.

Stamford, Conn.-based American Halal Co. debuts Saffron Road, all natural, Halal Certified, frozen Indian entrées to Whole Foods Market stores nationally in four varieties -- Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Biryani, Lamb Saag, and Lamb Vindaloo.
Saffron Road helps fulfill Americans' insatiable appetite for authentic ethnic meals, especially those from the Asian subcontinent. Sales of ethnic foods have continued to grow in the 20 percent range while overall food sales have been relatively flat.
Besides adhering to authentic recipes and cooking techniques, all Saffron Road products are Halal Certified by the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA). Halal is an Islamic tradition that has healthfully fed literally billons of people over the last 1,400 years. Halal promotes the sacred tradition of respect for the land, fair treatment for farmers, humane treatment of livestock and clean, healthy food to eat. There are upwards of 6 million American Muslims with over $170 billion in purchasing power that are looking for Halal products.
Saffron Road's All Natural Certified Halal entrees use chicken that is Certified Humane by Humane Farm Animal Care. All of Saffron Road's livestock are fed 100% vegetarian feed and are never given antibiotics or hormones.
"Working with Whole Foods Market is the perfect partnership for Saffron Road. The core tenants of Saffron Road's Halal Certification begin at the farm with how the livestock is raised as well as the other sustainable farming practices," says Jack Acree, executive vice president of Saffron Road. "These beliefs match up perfectly with the core values of Whole Foods and its dedicated consumers."
"Whole Foods Market is proud to launch the first ever line of all natural, Halal frozen entrees," says Errol Schweizer, senior global grocery coordinator for Whole Foods Market. "The Saffron Road brand is a delicious and high quality offering that will satisfy and delight our customers."
Suggested retail price is $5.39.

Eastbound traffic will be closed for one to two days after a brick retaining wall collapsed on Oak Bay Avenue at the Fort Street Junction this morning.
A fence, trees and what looked like electric wires were protruding from the dirt, which was spread across the south side of Oak Bay Avenue.
As the retaining wall collapse is in a high-traffic area, there is concern that there could be someone under the rubble.
"We have a dog coming in to see if it can sense any people underneath. There is a bus stop there so that is definitely a concern," said Victoria Battalion Chief Vince Cullen.
Ricky de Souza, a principal at St. Christopher's Montessori School, appeared shaken up after his vehicle was struck by material as he drove east on Oak Bay Avenue just after 8 a.m. Tuesday.
The buildings in the area have been evacuated and emergency services are waiting on engineers to figure out next step.
Victoria police, City of Victoria staff and Victoria Fire Department are on the scene. Traffic will remain closed for one or two days because the wall could potentially be unstable, according to VicPD.

Sailing the Last Voyage with Newton and Pascal

Truro, Baucum, Johnston and the Occupational Hazard of Anglicanism
As we march through this Lenten season, complete with the silliness over the sequester and the post-modern version of the Great Refusal, we come to yet another saga in the Anglican/Episcopal world–the volte-face that has taken place by the Truro Anglican Church and its rector, Tory Baucum, vis-à-vis the Episcopal Bishop of Virginia, Shannon Johnston. It's amazing, after the public acrimony, cost and litigation that has taken place, that we have so soon an attempt at "reconciliation", but we've got one. It's even inspiring the new occupant of Lambeth Palace in his quest for same reconciliation on a broader scale. The obvious dumb question is why.
Let me begin by stipulating that, as is usually the case with politics of any kind, there are untransparent complexities at work here. There are always things going on behind the scenes that move situations in one direction or another that really don't have much to do with the principle issues at hand, but are the product of the organisational situation on the ground. In a metropolitan area like Washington with three state/district jurisdictions and Episcopal dioceses to match, both secular and ecclesiastical politics get murky quickly.
The fact that it's in the capital region, however, is a good place to start in our attempt to pinpoint the underlying problem. It's as old as the Episcopal Church itself in this country, but now driven by the change in our country's power structure and the values held by that power structure.
If we go back to colonial times, the Church of England was the official state church in the colonies south of the Potomac, and thus the preferred church of people of property. The ones without it, or the ones with property in remote areas, often preferred to go somewhere else. That, of course, was illegal, and those on the wrong end of things helped to fuel the disestablishment of same Church of England after the American Revolution.
When the remnants of the old Church of England picked themselves off of the floor and pulled themselves together to form the Protestant Episcopal Church, the intent was not to be the people of property at prayer, but that's how it turned out. The effect was mutual: the Episcopal Church both shaped the ethic of the upper reaches of society and in turn was shaped by those reaches. After World War II it became part of the church's marketing strategy for an upwardly obsessed society, which produced a spectacular roller coaster ride in terms of membership numbers: straight up through the 1950's and 1960's, straight down in the 1970's.
The left lurch of the Episcopal Church is well documented, although many in Round II (in the 2000's) weren't around for Round I (in the 1960's and 1970's). The big difference between I and II was that the latter actually resulted in a meaningful secession. That secession has left some loose ends, and evidently they're no looser than in the shadow of our nation's capital. I suspect that it's not an accident that this first serious threat to the unity of the ACNA is coming from there.
To start with, a church which appeals to the upper reaches best does so with an appeal to tradition, an appeal that needs to be more aesthetic than one of conviction. That's at the core of the property disputes: both sides know that much of the pastiche of Episcopal religion is tied up in its historic properties. Although the left has grossly overplayed (and overpayed) their hand on this one, they know that the appearance of continuity can mask the lack of real continuance of belief. The other side, believing they have both, struggle to get the property so that they may present the appeal to the truth through the appeal of tradition. Losing that advantage is the key setback of losing the property litigation.
Turning to the issue that detonated Round II, the LGBT has become to the American élite left what the Communist Party was to the proletariat: its vanguard. A church which is started in opposition to same is bound to put itself in the crosshairs of the toughest, most tenacious force in the American political and social scene today. It's not a formula for popularity, especially with those who are at the heights.
And being in the capital region makes an élite appeal unavoidable, especially for a church somewhere in the Anglican/Episcopal world. Beyond their bouncing from one moral crusade for "justice" to another, our elites' dream is to make the U.S. like Europe, where the wealth of the nation is sucked into the capital, which takes a generous cut of the proceeds and redistributes the rest back out as it sees fit. Under these conditions, we really don't have a left-right divide: we have an us-them divide, which explains, among other things, why our media is so deep in the tank for Barack Obama. Under these circumstances, presenting the Gospel to "us" is challenging: "us" takes one look at it and sees a competitor to "our" control, which is the underlying reason "us" are going secular.
My guess is that Baucum and his parishioners are beaten down on the one side by an Episcopal Church which manages one property victory after another (whether they can replicate this in SC is a whole different subject) and on the other by a mission field which has turned blue. They're looking for relief, and coming from a tradition where the emphasis is on comity, the idea of burying the hatchet with the likes of Shannon Johnston is a major temptation.
Baucum–and indeed the ACNA in general–must realise, however, that seeking such accommodation defeats the reason for the ACNA and the Anglican revolt. What was the point of secession, of the cost of litigation and for most of the losers relocation, when you're just going to throw in the towel? And, to get back to the key issue, what's the purpose of a church whose beliefs are little different from the world around it?
In such a hostile environment, presenting and living the life that Jesus Christ offers us will need an entirely different way of doing things than conventional, open-society church. First, however, we must, like the song from India, decide to follow Jesus and not turn back. We must understand that such a choice is not going to be popular, especially in a place where Our Lord's proclamation that all power is given to him and not to the mission field's paymaster.
The higher one goes in society, the greater the temptation for Christianity to attempt to strike a nice accommodation with the world around it. That's the occupational hazard of churches in general, but of the Anglican/Episcopal world in particular, given its "target demographic" on this continent. The price to live for Our Lord is high, but the price of caving has been even higher. What makes anyone believe that the latter will get any lower?

Followers of the new gospel to the elites, that is the gospel of the LGBTQ movement, must believe that the cost is low. Low in that they do not have to give up their cherished beliefs, and low in that society will not hold it against them, and in fact, society will exalt them as more elite than other imitators.
I have to assume that the new gospel of reconciliation presents a similar temptation of earthly cost/benfit to "cavers".
oops, another typo in "benefit"
Fr. Fred Ayers says:
It's happening all over. The "reconciliation" we see Bishop Ed Salmon trying to make with TEC at Nashotah House is no different from what Baucum is doing at Truro. The only difference is Salmon never claimed to be ACNA in the first place.
Alpha4All says:
Fr. Ayers, I agree with you about Nashotah House. Being from Virginia, I have had a chance to watch the Truro slippage over the past couple of years up close and personal. What is happening to both Truro and Nashotah House right now is very sad. I was headed to Nashotah House for seminary but, after Bp. Salmon took over, my bishop let me go to Trinity where I am now. In fact, he encouraged me to switch. Dean Munday had made NH a more orthodox place and a better choice for ACNA folks than Trinity, but now it is just another TEC seminary. The folks who run NH must be nuts, or else they are playing the Tory Baucum game with TEC too. (I realize those two options aren't mutually exclusive.)

'Christmas Comet' Will Be Brightest Comet of the Year

Right before Christmas, Earth will have a close encounter with a comet that's set to be the brightest comet of the year.
Dubbed the "Christmas comet," Comet 46P/Wirtanen will be making a close pass of Earth on December 16, according to NASA. It will be at its closest distance to Earth in over four centuries.
But you don't even have to wait until the 16th to get a glimpse of the Christmas comet, which is a member of the Jupiter family of comets. 46P/Wirtanen is bright enough to see with the naked eye above the eastern horizon all month long, and can be seen even better with a telescope or binoculars.
And stargazers are in luck: The comet is not the only bright show gracing the sky this month. The Geminids, 2018's best meteor shower, peak the night of December 13 (and morning of December 14). At its peak, close to 100 meteors per hour will streak across the sky in a brilliant light show.
The Geminids are active every December, when Earth passes through a massive trail of dusty debris shed by a weird, rocky object named 3200 Phaethon. The dust and grit burn up when they run into Earth's atmosphere in a flurry of "shooting stars," NASA posted on its Watch the Skies blog.
So how can you view the meteor shower?
The nearly First Quarter Moon sets around 10:30 p.m. local time, so wait until then to go out, NASA advises. The light from the Moon washes out the fainter meteors, which are more numerous. Find the darkest place you can, and give your eyes about 30 minutes to adapt to the dark. If you can, try to avoid looking at your cell phone, as it will mess up your night vision.
As the night progresses, the Geminid rate will increase, hitting a theoretical maximum of about 100 per hour around 2 a.m.

Even though our country is blessed with wide varieties of soils with high fertility, it is being degraded day by day by various natural and human activities. Farmers in India are complaining about low productivity because of various reasons and soil degradation is one of them. Loss of soil fertility results in low productivity. It also results in high cost-of-production, low income, food scarcity, loss of biodiversity etc. As food security is a major concern, India has to overcome the challenge of low productivity due to soil degradation. Conservation of soil is the only way to override this problem.
Among the agents, water is considered as the main cause of soil erosion.
Removal of the top layer of soil by various means, which include both natural events and human activities, is called as soil erosion.
Sheet Erosion: Uniform removal of the top soil just like a sheet.
Rill Erosion: Heavy water flow cause rill in Land.
Note: Wind erosion also causes sheet and rill erosions.
Note: The largest area affected by soil erosion in India is the State of Rajasthan followed Madhya Pradesh.
Fertility of top soil will be lost.
Nutrients content will decline as they are washed away by erosion.
Underground water level will be reduced.
Loss of vegetation and habitat.
Drought and flood become frequent.
Adversely affect the economy and culture.
Natural hideouts are formed when gully erosion occurs (Ex: Chambal valley was famous for criminal's hideout).
Soil fertility is mostly affected in the states of Punjab, Haryana, and U.P.
It is a condition when the soil is not giving enough production even though adequate irrigation and nutrients are supplied.
Land should left uncultivated for a period of time and let to retain its fertility. Cropping after cropping will leave the land unfertile.
Leguminous plants can be cultivated in intervals which will increase the fertility of the soil.
If there is no proper drainage system in the land, the land will become waterlogged.
This results in the saturation of crops.
The normal circulation of air will not be possible due to water logging and the amount of oxygen in the soil will decline.
Construction of proper drainage system to allow water flow away from the land is the best way to reduce water logging.
Soil will become saline or alkaline in low rainfall areas. Rajasthan is an example.
When the sea water enters the land, the soil becomes saline.
The presence of calcium carbonate beneath (kankar) the soil will act as impermeable to water and water gets logged as happened in Indira Gandhi canal regions of Rajasthan. If the soil contains salt content, it will spread to the whole land due to this.
It is a type of slash and burn method of cultivation.
After reaping the crops, the land (usually the forest) is slashed and burned. The next cultivation will be in another plot and the burned land will let uncultivated for a period.
In the early periods, the gap between two cultivations in a land was 10-20 years.
Due to population increase and availability of land is reduced, the gap decreased to merely 2-3 years.
This causes major deforestation, environmental pollution, loss of habitat for wild animals etc.
The burning of forest results in soil erosion and gradual degradation of soil.
Contour ploughing (cultivation against the direction of the wind).
Strip cultivation (cultivation in strips).
Flood control by government initiatives.
Wind breaks in land; like trees at borders.
Leveling of gullies, ravines etc.
Control of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in the market.
Proper awareness about the need of conservation.
Organic farming has a role to play in soil conservation.
Sheet erosion results in the formation of gullies resulting in loss of underground soil.
The largest area affected by soil erosion in India is the State of Rajasthan followed Madhya Pradesh.
Explanation: In case of sheet erosion, there will be a uniform removal of the top soil just like a sheet.


This spicy Mexican chorizo and bean soup is a real winner for a quick and easy homemade lunch! You'll definitely think it's better than shop bought soup once you've tried it.
It's full of goodness and slightly naughty with a handful of cheese and a dollop of sour cream, (although I did use low-fat sour cream). It adds to the flavour and gives it a really creamy texture.
If you're struggling to find dried chipotle chillies then check out the Cool Chile Company, there are lots of great ingredients on there!
This soup looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!


Just some quick links here to information about Bill 54 that might be useful for the final hearing currently scheduled for December 7, 2011, at Honolulu Hale. Comments follow the links (all of which are to pdf files).
The rest of the testimony (if all the testimony is missing from above, it's here) Use the drop down menu to scroll to the last couple of pages.
This is being written on November 21, so things may have moved since today.
For information and help call City Council at 768-5010. Navigating through the City Council docushare system is difficult. I had help from Allyson Hong, Senior Council Information Specialist 768-3822.
Particularly interesting in light of Honolulu Corporation Counsel signing off on the constitutionality of the bill are letters from ACLU attorney Daniel Gluck who says the opposite, and that the City runs the risk of enacting an ordinance that may incur substantial expenses to defend. He mentions successful law suits against other cities for similar ordinances.
Note that Councilmember Nestor Garcia is the only one to vote against Bill 54 on the grounds that the homeless would be the first ones targeted. Garcia has voted against criminalization of homelessness before. He is the only Councilmember to stand up for the homeless.
My own opinion is that Occupy Honolulu would probably be the first ones targeted. Police officers were overheard saying that once Bill 54 passed, Occupy Honolulu encampment could be cleared out.
See you on December 7. That should be an easy date to remember.
Do you know what time and in what room the December 7th meeting will be?
I don't know the time of hearing yet. Will post when I find out. I think they may schedule several bills for the day and take them one after the other.
I am the first anonymous. I think they meant dec 7 at 10am. That when it looks like these council meetings start.


The trilateral engagement between India, Iran and Afghanistan during the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Iran in May 2016 was historic, expanding avenues of trade for India with Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia and Russia through the International North South Transportation Corridor (INSTC). Chabahar is Iran's only oceanic port and consists of two separate ports named 'Shahid Kalantari' and 'Shahid Beheshti', each of which have five berths – overall 10 berths. India and Iran first agreed upon plans to further develop 'Shahid Beheshti' port in 2003, but India was deterred by sanctions against Iran. Under the Indo-Iranian agreement of May 2016, India would refurbish one of the berths at 'Shahid Beheshti', and reconstruct a 600 meter long container handling facility at the port. The bilateral agreement between India and Iran gives India the right to develop two berths of the Chabahar port as agreed in 2015, allowing them to be operated for 10 years by India Ports Global; joint venture between Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust and Kandla Port Trust, in partnership with Iran's Aria Banader. Along with the development of Chahabar port, India is also to construct a railway line linking Chahabar with Zahedan on the Iran-Afghanistan border, which beyond Zahedan will be linked to the Iranian Railway running west and then north close to the Iran-Afghanistan border, avoiding the volatile Helmand Province of Afghanistan. India's development of Chabahar will be at a cost of $85 million over the course of 18 months. Upon completion of upgrade works agreed to in May 2016, Chabahar's capacity will be increased to 8 million tons from the current 2.5 million ton capacity.
India's investment is supplemented with a $150 million credit line to Iran through Exim Bank of India. India has also offered to supply $400 million worth of steel towards the construction of the rail link Chabahar-Zahedan. Chabahar port and the INSTC give India the strategic access for trade with Afghanistan and Eurasia, faced with denial of the land route through Pakistan. Recent operationalizing of Gwadar port, as also the CPEC, makes this even more significant. Gwadar port has been leased for operations to a Chinese company (read China) for 49 years. In December 2011, regional Pakistani newspapers reported Chinese military taking over Gilgit Baltistan and Pakistan considering leasing Gilgit-Baltistan to China for 50 years, which would have happened already. In 2011, Beijing and Tehran signed a deal giving China exclusive rights to multiple several Iranian oil and gas fields through 2024, including rights to build complete necessary infrastructures. In return, China promised to treat any foreign attack against these regions as attacks against its own sovereign territory, and defend them as such. China needs no prior permission from Iranian government to maintain and increase its military presence in Iran, and will control the movement of Iranians in and out of these territories. According to Green Experts of Iran, this agreement was the basis for PLA's General Zhang Zhaozhong stating, "China will not hesitate to protect Iran even with a third World War."
China and Iran aim to increase bilateral trade to $600 billion within the next decade, even though economists feel it is not attainable. Under the Indo-Iranian agreement of May 2016, India is required to deliver the Chahabar project in 18 months – by end 2017 but that does not appear possible now because of deteriorating relations between the US and Iran. The US House of Representatives has now voted to renew the Iran Sanctions Act for an additional 10 years; the act is scheduled to expire by year's end, barring its renewal. As of now there is no word on when the US Senate intends to vote on the extension but Iran maintains that even non-nuclear sanctions, particularly the prohibition on Iranian access to the American financial system and use of the dollar discourage foreign companies from investing in Iran, subverting the economic rewards it expected from the nuclear agreement.
India committed $500 million to speed up development of Chahabar after sanctions on Iran were lifted but India's Ports Global Pvt Ltd has not been able to award a single tender for cranes and forklifts etc. Swiss engineering group Liebherr and Finland's Konecranes and Cargotec, both of which dominate the market for customized equipment to develop jetties and container terminals, maintain they are unable to take part in the bids as their banks are not ready to facilitate transactions involving Iran due to the uncertainty over US policy. The lifting of UN and EU sanctions in 2016 partly reconnected Iran with the international financial system but large international bankers remain unwilling because of the US stance, especially due to possibility of unilateral US sanctions that may be imposed irrespective of the nuclear deal. There is little progress on the Iranian side as well; even an initial credit line of $150 million that India wants to extend to Iran for development of Chabahar has remained a non-starter as Tehran has not been able to do its part of work. So, the 18 month deadline for completion is impractical, especially with the Indian Ambassador to Iran stating that "some of the customized cranes needed take up to 20 months to build". When India commenced developing Chabahar and how much has been completed is not known, but there is need for speed. Early leveraging the Indo-Japanese partnership into the project and ironing out problems of fiscal investment on account of sanctions is required. For cranes and forklifts, perhaps Russia could be tapped, which has adequate expertise and would be interested in Chahabar given its benefit to the INSTC.

Interview: Billy Campbell of Syfy's "Helix"
January 2, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer Drama, Horror, Interview, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, TV News & Program Updates Comments Off on Interview: Billy Campbell of Syfy's "Helix"
"I kind of think of this show as a mashup of The Andromeda Strain, John Carpenter's The Thing and The Walking Dead," Billy Campbell tells me of his new Syfy series Helix, premiering Jan. 10. Prior to the interview, watching the pilot, that is almost exactly what I thought about this 13-episode thriller (except, for me, parts of the show called to mind 28 Days Later more so than The Walking Dead).
Helix does indeed combine classic sci-fi elements from those titles — a disease outbreak, a group of people at a fairly claustrophobic, remote Arctic outpost, and, eventually, at least one zombie-like creation from the virus — and does so effectively, and with a chilling ambience, from the first two episodes I've seen. The series comes from Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica), Steven Maeda (Lost) and Lynda Obst (Sleepless in Seattle), who all serve as executive producers.
"I'm a big sci-fi fan, and certainly I'm a big Ron Moore fan," Campbell says, "so when my agents put [Helix] on my radar I was quite excited."
Campbell may have been excited for good reason, as the show seems to have the potential to be another hit for Syfy. Certainly the premise is gripping enough — a team of scientists, led by CDC scientist Dr. Alan Farragut (Campbell), travels far north to a mysterious high-tech research facility called Arctic BioSystems to investigate a possible disease outbreak. Farragut is accompanied by his ex-wife, Dr. Julia Walker (Kyra Zagorsky), a young assistant, Dr. Sarah Jordan (Jordan Hayes), and a representative from the Army, Maj. Sergio Balleseros (Mark Ghanimé), who may have less-than-honorable motives. Leading the facility is Dr. Hiroshi Hatake (played with a quiet sense of growing menace and mystery by Hiroyuki Sanada).
While there to stop a potential outbreak, Farragut's mission also proves personal — his brother, Dr. Peter Farragut (Neil Napier), has become a victim of whatever is afflicting the base. And while Peter is initially at death's door, toward the end of the first episode he suddenly gains new life, and perhaps a no-longer-human life. Peter is transforming into something, we aren't sure immediately what, and is loose on the base, posing a great danger.
Add to that some backstory involving the breakup of Alan and Julia's marriage due to her brief affair with Peter, a potential love triangle between Alan, Julia and Jordan, and the ongoing questions of just what Arctic BioSystems and its close-lipped director are actually up to, and the storyline surrounding the pilot of Helix is infectious enough to make me want to see more.
"That's kind of the joy of the show," Campbell agrees. "There are many layers, and we're digging right to the center of the onion."
I talked with Campbell while he had two episodes of Helix yet to film, and he explained how the show's mysteries are sometimes even kept from the actors until close to shooting.
"We get the scripts about a week or two weeks in advance of shooting," Campbell explains, "and that's [the writers'] purview. They're figuring out the broad strokes. We're concerned with the details. So we work pretty much in the dark until we get the new scripts, and then we have the joy of sitting down and finding out what's going on."
And so will viewers.

If you enjoyed Terry Gilliam's 1995 sci-fi classic 12 Monkeys, you'll have fun with the new Syfy series adaptation, premiering Jan. 16. Like its source material, the series is about a time traveler, Cole (Aaron Stanford), who journeys from the year 2043 to the present day (with a few other stops here and there) to locate and eradicate the source of a deadly plague that will nearly eliminate the human race, leaving the people in Cole's era desperately trying to survive in a bleak landscape. In our time, Cole befriends Dr. Cassandra Railly (Amanda Schull), whom the future generation has […]

Friday 8:30 PM
The Southern Cafe and Music Hall
Charlottesville, Virginia 22902
Erin and the Wildfire with The Broadcast and Morgan Wade & the Stepbrothers
About Erin and the Wildfire:
Powerful vocals. Infectious hooks. Sensual harmonies. Snacks.
Erin & the Wildfire combine elements of funk, soul, and R&B into a unique experience for fans. The band features the core four: Matt Wood (bass), Ryan Lipps (guitar), Nick Quillen (drums) and Erin Lunsford (vocals) – who've been together since college, evolving their sound for six years – and a rotating menagerie of talented musicians out of Virginia.
E&TW have been making waves since their inception and have been featured on some of the Commonwealth's biggest stages including: LOCKN' Festival (2015, 2018), FloydFest (2017, 2018, 2019), Roosterwalk (2016, 2017, 2018) and many more.
Their 2017 release, "Thirst", brought the first full-length album to fans of the Fire, and showcased not only the evolution of their sound, but also the fun and humor they thrive on for live shows. "The album takes listeners on a sensory journey, as space, textures and grooves waft from track to track. "Thirsty for Your Love" opens with sounds reminiscent of stalactites dripping in caverns, seeping into jazzy horns, guitar and drum riffs, while Lunsford croons, "Ache in my temple / there's a throb in my chest. / Just one little sip / and I'm obsessed." - Cville Weekly
The lyrical content comes from Lunsford's life, loves, and the passions of her and the rest of the Wildfire – including those of female solidarity, body positivity, and pizza. The demanding presence of Lunsford's voice, combined with the talent and charm of Quillen, Lipps, and Wood, makes for a high energy, inspiring performance that stays with you until the next time.
"Each show feels like it's the next and last chance to explain ourselves –another chance to connect with the audience to speak our truth. We hope that people seeing us for the first time (and repeat viewers!) feel appreciated and comfortable and we hope they feel inspired by the tunes." Lunsford, "The Young Folks"
