THREE buildings in the heart of Belfast will be razed to make way for a £400m regeneration project.
Belfast City Council's planning committee approved plans, without discussion, last night.
Structures on 53-63 Royal Avenue and 16 Lower Garfield Street will disappear and be replaced with the urban development, previously known as the Royal Exchange project.
Developers Castlebrooke Investments said almost 6,000 permanent jobs are set to be created by the new office, retail and leisure space.
Carried out in phases, the construction of the development will include: two hotels, the reintegration and refurbishment of seven listed buildings, three new public realm spaces and a 22-storey tower block.
It covers 12 acres of land in the North East Quarter of the city centre bound by Royal Avenue, Donegall Street, North Street, Lower Garfield Street and High Street.
Construction for the proposed scheme is estimated to be in the region of £250m, with the total investment reported to be close to £400m.
Concerns were previously raised by several councillors and campaign groups, such as Save Cathedral Quarter, primarily regarding the potential negative impact on heritage, arts and smaller businesses.

est un genre éteint de ptérosaures du clade des Monofenestrata. L'espèce type est , et ,en 2022, le genre est resté monotypique.

Présentation
Il a été découvert dans les bancs de Daohugou de la formation de Tiaojishan datée du Jurassique moyen à supérieur, dans l'est de la région autonome chinoise de Mongolie-Intérieure. Il fait partie du biote de Yanliao.

Une seule espèce est rattachée au genre, Pterorhynchus wellnhoferi, décrite en 2002 par S.A. Czerkas et Q. Ji.
Elle n'est connue que par un seul spécimen quasi complet avec des traces de tissus mous (membrane des ailes, longs « poils » (pycnofibres) qui rappelleraient le duvet de queue des rhamphorhynchoïdes).

Étymologie
Le nom du genre Pterorhynchus est composé des mots du grec ancien pteron, « aile », et rhynchos, « museau » , pour rappeler la présence d'une haute crête sur sa tête. Le nom d'espèce wellnhoferi honore le paléontologue allemand Peter Wellnhofer.

Description
Pterorhynchus possède un crâne allongé de  de long et une longue queue. Son envergure est d'environ . Il se caractérise par la présence d'une crête haute sur les 2/3 arrière des sa tête, constituée d'une base osseuse prolongée par une grande extension kératineuse.

Son corps semble couvert de longs « poils » appelés pycnofibres, tandis que ses ailes paraissaient porter de minuscules touffes de fibres. Ces pycnofibres ont été interprétées par les inventeurs du genre comme de forme pennée avec de nombreux brins provenant d'une seule base (semblable au calamus des plumes chez les oiseaux). Cette description initiale des pycnofibres de Pterorhynchus a cependant été complètement remise en cause lors d'un travail de synthèse sur le système tégumentaire des ptérosaures par Alexander Kellner et ses collègues en 2010.

Classification
Lors de sa description en 2002 le genre a été attribué au groupe des rhamphorhynchoïdes, un groupe aujourd'hui considéré comme paraphylétique.

En 2006, David Unwin, croyant qu'il provient du Crétacé inférieur, en fait un scaphognathiné, proche du genre type Scaphognathus.

En 2014, une grande synthèse phylogénétique réalisée par Andres, Clark et Xu, conduit au cladogramme suivant qui montre la position de Pterorhynchus en groupe frère des Wukongopteridae au sein des Darwinoptera (Monofenestrata) :

He also studied pedagogy and have combined his experience as sportist and teacher in his job as director of La Masía, where he aims for creating a nurturing enviroment for the children in which to develop them as integral beings.
According to Carles, the Club's educational function is the most important. "We are the only European club that today has the most youth-players between 18 and 19 years old studying university courses. In contrast to other clubs we back more hours spent studying than in the gym".

Orange Empire Railway Museum
Elizabeth Boatman
A few days ago I zigzagged my way over to the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, California. I was off to satisfy my childhood fascination with trains. I planned to just walk around a bit and get the feel of the place. Frankly I didn't know what to expect. As it turned out I arrived just as a busload of third-graders was preparing for a tour. The lady in the gift shop suggested I simply tag along with them in order to see the buildings which are normally locked.
We rode the train seen above and a couple trolleys. After about an hour, I was warm; those old cars were not air conditioned! I left the school group and moved on to wander by myself. I was there to take photos and I didn't think getting a huge group of children in every shot was exactly what I had in mind. Still, this is a great spot for kids. What a thrill to go on a field trip and ride these trains.
I didn't see all the buildings because they're scattered about on 90 acres and I didn't have a docent with me to unlock them. I did visit two buildings and took a few pictures. I especially liked the building called Grizzly Flats Engine House. As with so many other areas, this is a working shed. The locomotives and train cars are in various stages of restoration. Many are still awaiting attention.
This old passenger car was being used as a family home before being abandoned and eventually coming to the museum. The wood is in poor shape and is riddled with woodpecker holes. The wheels have been removed by the museum staff and the car is up on supporting blocks ready for restoration that may not happen for a while.
This location also has this wonderful old narrow gauge steam locomotive. Now we come to the reason the building is called Grizzly Flats Engine House. This locomotive used to belong to Disney animator Ward Kimball and was part of his backyard railroad (Grizzly Flats) in San Gabriel. How cool is that? Mr. Kimball died in 2002 and the train came to the museum for display in 2007. It looks terrific!
I had arrived at Grizzly Flats just as the docent was finishing his talk with the children. The staff would soon close the buildings to visitors. I hurried over to the trolley shed and took a few more pictures and almost was caught in the back of the shed as they pulled in the very trolleys I had ridden earlier in the day. The good thing about these cars is that they are big and yellow. I could see them coming. Still I didn't hang around to be in the way while the men locked up.
The grounds are large, and desert-like. And scattered with pieces of equipment and even modern-day gear. Track and trains are everywhere you look. It pays to be careful. In addition to the docents and other railway museum staff, a landscaping company was on site. Men were trimming trees and there was just a feeling that I was interrupting a busy farming operation or something. This place didn't have commercial glitz but rather the down and dirty look of a museum loaded with huge donations (box cars, steam engines, and even a diner) that are all in need of work. The photo below is O'Neill's Diner which used to be on CA Highway 395. At present it's serving as a storage facility. No one has the time to restore it.
There is one new building which is housing the museum's paper archives. And from what I hear they have a lot of old records to sort. All kinds of railroad related material is in that building just waiting for willing volunteers. It's a lovely building and, of course, they are busy working outside and redoing the landscaping. Men are working everywhere.

A special event took place last week at Pittville School to celebrate the completion of a project to conserve and restore over 20 wooden WW1 battlefield crosses. The crosses had been subject to the elements for a number of years on display at the entrance to Cheltenham Cemetery. They have now been restored and preserved for future generations.
This project has been coordinated by the Cheltenham Civic Society and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
As part of Cheltenham Remembers and the project to repair and conserve the war memorial in the Promenade, a new interpretation panel was installed on a stone plinth as a lasting legacy.
Thanks so much to everyone who took part in the Cheltenham Remembers memorial march on the 10th November. University of Gloucestershire TV Production put together a short film which really captures the spirit of the event.
See how Cheltenham commemorated the WW1 Armistice Centenary on 10 and 11 November 2018 in this short film by Unit 1 Films. Thank you to everyone involved in all of the events, remembering those who lost their lives 100 years ago.
This short video by Evenlode Films shows some of the amazing scenes and crowd reactions to the spectacular projection of imagery and sound on to the Municipal Offices on the evening of the centenary of Armistice Day, Sunday 11 November 2018.
Cheltenham Remembers Project Co-Ordinator Rebecca Sillence was introduced to a very special visitor at Cheltenham Racecourse this weekend. HRH Princess Anne paid a visit to the Gloucestershire and Racing Remember event at Cheltenham Racecourse, where she spoke with exhibitors and local historians about their projects to commemorate WW1.
To mark the centenary of the Armistice, Cheltenham Racecourse held a tribute to both horse and solider on Sunday 18th November, the final day of The November Meeting.
A poignant and moving tribute was paid to every individual named on Cheltenham War Memorial at the end of our special WW1 projection on November 11th. Original composition by Tim Mountain featuring the Cheltenham Ladies' College choir.
Thank you to everyone who came to see our projection of WW1 imagery and sound at the Municipal Offices. It was truly breathtaking to see the building illuminated and come to life with such powerful animations. Alongside the creations of Tim Mountain of Evenlode Films the projection also featured the work of local university students, original compositions, poetry and spoken word performances.
Thank you everyone who took part in and supported our Cheltenham Remembers Memorial March yesterday. 1,278 Cheltonian service men and women's names carried with pride. Despite the heavy rain, we were gifted with a beautiful rainbow and the day really embodied the spirit of community and remembrance.

Chanda Maharaj: Kidnapper Claims the 15-Year-Old Girl Has a "Biological Age" of 18
12/22/2022 Marco Respinti
A medical certificate puts again the Pakistani Hindu girl at risk of being delivered back to the man who forcibly converted her to Islam, raped, and "married" her.
by Marco Respinti
How they changed Chanda: from happy Hindu girl to abused Muslim "wife." Photos from Twitter.
Bitter Winter has played an important role in the campaign for Chanda Maharaj, which has become a symbol of hundreds of Pakistani girls from religious minorities who are kidnapped, forcibly converted to Islam, and married to their Sunni Muslim captors.
Chanda is a 15-year-old Hindu girl who was kidnapped on August 12 in the Fateh Chowk area of Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan while she was walking home with her sister. Her kidnapper was Shaman Magsi, a Muslim man who had repeatedly tried to approach her.
Initially, the police refused to take action on the complaint filed by her parents. Finally, after an international campaign that caught the attention of some local politicians, in October Chanda was rescued by police from her "husband" and taken to a shelter home. However, on October 20 a court ruled that her conversion and marriage were valid, and sent her back to her kidnapper Shaman Magsi.
Chanda's parents filed another complaint based on the fact that, irrespectively of the validity of her conversion to Islam, a 2019 Pakistani law had raised the minimum age for marriage to 18, and Chanda is 15. They produced a birth certificate, but the judges objected that in Pakistan these certificates are not reliable. The court asked a team of doctors to determine Chanda's biological age. On October 29, they concluded that she is 16.
The birth certificate proving that Chanda is 15. From Twitter.
However, the court rather than returning Chanda to her home and parents, placed the girl again in the shelter home, pending further investigation. Also, the court did not incriminate her kidnapper, despite the fact that Chanda testified that she was forced to have sexual relationship with him—for all practical purposes, she was raped.
On October 31, the court told Chanda that she should remain in the shelter home for the time being, although she had clearly expressed that she wants to go home to her parents.
The hearing where it should be determined whether Chanda should be returned to their parents was adjourned several times and finally scheduled for December 15. At that date, representatives of the kidnapper "husband" filed a second medical certificate that claims she is "between 17 and 18."
The second medical certificate. From Twitter.
The main judge being absent, the hearing should be rescheduled once again. The parents are very much afraid that the second certificate may carry some weight and Chanda will be returned to her kidnapper and rapist. Once again, only an international mobilization may save the young girl.

Security Treaty. The idea was to create a common Euro-Atlantic security space based on the legally binding idea of indivisibility of security. NATO, EU and OSCE have never replied to it. The draft of the new treaty was a part of Russia's efforts to revive the spirit of the 1975 Helsinki Final Act and to draw a final line under the Cold War "Helsinki 2.0" was coined as a shorthand of this and other attempts to find a common security denominator between Russia and the West.
By 2019, against the backdrop of grand destabilization, growing systemic risks in Europe and in the neighbouring regions, the necessity of the European security system has become an existential demand.
In the long and complicated history of the Cold War, de-escalation had its peaks and troughs. One of profound achievements of peace making in old times was The Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, signed in Helsinki in 1975. That was the highest point of detente, the embodiment of a new modus vivendi, first of all in the relationship between the Soviet Union and the USA. The state of strategic stability was imbedded in the fundamental international treaty. Later, due to the Helsinki process, Europe got its most representative organization – the OSCE.
In the 1970s, the premise for a success of the Helsinki project was the solution of the German question. The Moscow treaty of 1970 was a decisive step in that direction. And again, in the XXI century the position of Germany in the joint efforts to prevent a new cold war is of a significant importance as well as in the joint efforts to create a durable and comprehensive European security system.
Corfu process. In 2010, Russia and Germany put forward the Meseberg initiative. Providing that the political will is expressed, there can be various modalities of Helsinki 2.0. It can be a permanent Conference, covering all four Helsinki baskets. Or it could concentrate on politico-military issues, taking into consideration the urgency of de-escalation in this particular area.
Participants of such a permanent Conference can be both states and international organizations, provided with a proper mandate. The Final Act of 1975 was signed by 35 states. Potentially, the number of participants of Helsinki 2.0 may be significantly higher in view of the sharp increase in the number of European states after the breakup of the Sovier Union. However, it does not mean that all of them should be expected to join the Conference outright. On the basis of the multi-speed principle the initiative can be launched by a coalition of the willing, intended to make this process as inclusive as possible. A host nation for the Conference can be one of internationally recognized mediators such as Finland, Austria or Switzerland.
Among the arguments against Helsinki 2 0 is the reference to sufficiency of the existing international treaties, including the UN Charter, The Final Act, The Paris Charter, etc. Indeed, numerous recognized principles of international behaviour were proclaimed at different points in history. However, their interpretations vary and new historical circumstances impose upon us new challenges and problems. If mutual claims and counterclaims mount and tensions rise, the opposing sides should be prepared to meet and conduct structured and serious dialogue.
Another argument is that prior to negotiations the opposite side should comply with preliminary conditions. As a result, we get a vicious circle of blames and counter blames. In the past key international treaties were concluded after major wars, the outcome of which divided nations into the victors and the defeated. Today, it is impossible to expect any leading centre of power, especially a permanent member of the UN Security Council, to admit its defeat or to yield to ultimatums. Therefore, to put forward preliminary conditions to launch talks on transregional security is in effect to torpedo the settlement of international disputes through diplomacy.
prohibit enlargement of any military organisation. Secondly, it does not kill the open door policy of NATO, SCTO or other alliances but put it on the basis of pragmatism instead of ideology and propaganda. Thirdly, it implies that all sides become reciprocal stakeholders in the common security sphere and the dividing lines between opponents start to blur. The more this process is advanced, the more it gets unnecessary for military organisations to grow territorially.

Jim grew up in Farnworth and attended Harper Green Secondary Modern School. Jim has since been made an Honorary Doctrate of the University Of Bolton, a visiting Professor at Salford University and Harper Green have named a building after him.
Jim's plays have been in constant publication since 1986 and have been in almost continuous production around the world. They have been translated into over 40 languages and are on school, college, university and drama school curriculums.
Jim Cartwright's plays have been performed at The National Theatre, The Royal Court Theatre, The West End of London, on Broadway and are firm favourites for regional theatres and amateur companies to reproduce.
Road Jim Cartwright's first play, opened at the Royal Court in 1986 and won the Samuel Beckett Award, Drama Magazine's Best New Play Award, and was joint winner of the Plays And Players Award and The George Devine Award.
Two premiered at the Octagon Theatre in 1989, and transferring to The Young Vic, London in 1990, winning the Manchester Evening News Best New Play Award. Much later down the line Two 2 also premiered at the Octagon Theatre in 2016.
Cartwright's plays are among the most performed in the Octagon's history, including critically acclaimed productions of Road, Eight Miles High, Bed & Baths, and The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, which drew in sell-out audiences in 2012. In 2015, the Octagon premièred Cartwright's The Ancient Secret of Youth and the Five Tibetans to rave reviews.
In response to the recent outcry that it is increasingly difficult for many to afford or gain entrance into the acting proffesion or even training, Jim has started a very succesful Drama Studio offering 'training for all' in Chorley and Manchester, The Cartwright Drama Studio.
The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice was performed first at the Royal National Theatre in 1992 and at The Aldwych Theatre in London's West End later that year. The play was originally directed by Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes and the role of Little Voice was played by Lancashire actress Jane Horrocks who Jim Cartwright originally wrote the part for.
The production was nominated for six Olivier Awards, was winner of The Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy of the Year in 1992 and the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy in 1993. It opened on Broadway in 1995. The Octagon Theatre production of The Rise and Fall of Little Voice in 1995 saw Coronation Street actor and playwright Deborah McAndrew in the role of LV.
In 1998 Jim's play The Rise and Fall of Little Voice was adapted into a screenplay to be filmed in Hollywood and directed by Mark Herman. The cast included Jane Horrocks from the original cast alongside Michael Caine, Brenda Blethyn, Ewan McGregor and Jim Broadbent.
At the Octagon, The Rise and Fall of Little Voice was most recently performed in 2012 with Katie Elin-Salt in the role of LV. 6 years later, whilst the Octagon Theatre building is under refurbishment, Octagon's Associate Director Ben Occhipinti reprises the play with Katie Elin-Salt, Sally George, Sue Vincent, Akshay Gulati, Ted Robbins and at the Albert Halls in Bolton.
In fear that her mother might blow a fuse, Little Voice escapes in her attic room through her father's old vinyl collection – she loves the great divas: Bassey, Garland, Piaf, Springfield, Holliday. When the records stop playing the music miraculously continues, as LV produces stunning impersonations of all of her favourite stars.
When her mums new boyfriend hears Little Voice sing, he sees LV as his ticket to fame and fortune. Will LV face the music or set about finding her own voice?
See The Rise and Fall of Little Voice from Thu 24 Jan – Sat 2 Feb.

Africans Abroad: Newbie contest sees Partey and Ziyech eclipse Osimhen
Two of Africa's newest arrivals in the Premier League made their impact felt at the weekend as Hakim Ziyech and Thomas Partey continue to repay the faith of Chelsea and Arsenal respectively.
However, over in Italy, despite an encouraging start at Napoli, big mover Victor Osimhen was helpless to prevent his new employers' shock defeat by Sassuolo on Sunday as the hosts' ongoing weaknesses were exposed.
Partey prompts Vieira parallels
While Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stole much of the attention following his penalty winner against Manchester United on Sunday, Arsenal new boy Partey served another reminder why the Gunners were so keen to snare him from Atletico Madrid.
Paired alongside Egypt's Mohamed Elneny in an all-African midfield, the 27-year-old was imperious when up against United's Paul Pogba, whose own hapless display was epitomised by his clumsy lunge in the box on Hector Bellerin.
Aubameyang's goal, of course, ended his five-match wait for a strike — his longest drought since 2014 — but Partey and Elneny characterised an Arsenal side which was full of commitment, focus and power.
There's promise in this pairing, and on the day, the majority of Arsenal's play went through them.
It was a superb all-round display from Partey; no visitor made more touches, no one on the pitch matches his four dribbles, and he also retrieved the ball on six occasions.
His pass accuracy of 93.3 percent was also better than any other Arsenal starter, and Gunners fans will surely be delighted at the ease with which he has settled into life in the Premier League.
Pogba, the same age as Partey but having cost United over twice the Ghanaian's €50 million transfer fee, couldn't come close to matching the impact of his opposite number, even it was the Frenchman — ultimately — who decided the contest.
United legend Roy Keane, speaking on Sky Sports after the match, forecasted big things for Partey with the North London giants.
"He was outstanding," the former Ireland midfielder began. "He's obviously no mug having played in big games.
"When you watch a player live that's when you can judge a player and the more I look at him the more I wish he was in the United midfield; he's big, strong, aggressive, he can pass it forward, and he can deal with the ball.
"I had my battles with Vieira and I think this kid has got a chance of matching what Patrick used to do."
Glowing praise indeed, and with Partey and Elneny at the heart of that Arsenal midfield, the Gunners may finally have the centrepiece they've been crying out for.
Wait worthwhile for Ziyech
While Partey has made an instant impact at Arsenal, one of Chelsea's big African signings of 2020 — Morocco's Ziyech — has been made to wait to demonstrate what he's capable of in England.
The former Ajax man originally signed a five-year deal with the club back in February, but only made his Blues debut in mid-October due to fitness issues, and only started his first game for the club against Krasnodar in the Champions League last week.
After scoring in that match, he was influential as Burnley were swatted away 3-0, scoring another and contributing an assist.
Ziyech's invention and positive approach were clear from the off; he has a magnificent ability to improvise and innovate under pressure, regularly forcing the Burnley defence to turn as he sought out Tammy Abraham.
At times, Chelsea played with the imagination, control and crisp technical precision of Ziyech's former club, Ajax, in their pomp, and the North African may prove to be the perfect ideologue to transfer the rhythms of Amsterdam to SW6.
His first Prem goal came with a first-time effort from the edge of the box, and 20 minutes from time, he wrapped up the victory by picking out fellow new boy Timo Werner to add a third.
High-profile signings from the Eredivisie have had mixed success rates in English football — Chelsea fans will have their own meagre memories of Mateja Kezman — but not since Diego Costa in 2014 has a Blues player scored in both of their first two starts for the club.
Aina breathes hope into Fulham campaign
Early into the new season, Fulham were being written off by pundits aplenty, with the Cottagers struggling to get to grips with the top flight, losing their first three games, and shipping eight goals in the process.
Steadily, however, Scott Parker has begun to oversee the Cottagers' acclimatisation, with Nigerian duo Ademola Lookman and Ola Aina influential in their improving resiliency.
It was Lookman who's bright showing claimed a point at Sheffield United last month, and on Monday, it was Aina who played a key role in the Londoners clinching their first win of the season.
The hosts were already 1-0 up following Bobby Decordova-Reid's opener when Aina started a move down the Fulham right, instigating a sharp interplay with the goalscorer and Aleksandar Mitrovic before receiving the ball back from the Serb and slamming a left-footed shot beyond Sam Johnstone.
Credit must also go to Mario Lemina and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa in the heart of the park, while Lookman again showed glimpses of class, but Aina was Fulham's outstanding individual.
He certainly played as though he has a point to prove, having been cut loose by the Cottagers' local rivals Chelsea to join Torino permanently last year.
This was his first goal in English football, and having helped get Fulham's first win in the books, he will have a big role to play in their battle to beat the drop.
Napoli's weaknesses laid bare as Osimhen toils
Heading into this weekend, Napoli were being tipped as potential title contenders this season.
Apart from the 3-0 walkover defeat by Juventus that they were slapped with after being unable to fulfil the fixture, the Partenopei had been blemish-free in the league so far this season, taking a maximum 12 points from their other four matches.
However, the vulnerabilities that were glimpsed in their 1-0 home defeat by AZ Alkmaar in late October were laid bare on Sunday as they were stunned 2-0 at the San Paolo by Sassuolo.
While Kalidou Koulibaly and Osimhen were among the hosts' better players, the latter again failed to find the net as worries begin to creep in about his performances.
Against Benevento last weekend he was guilty of missing several chances, and imploded completely against Real Sociedad in midweek when he was dismissed after half an hour.
Again, against Sassuolo, his composure let him down, and while Osimhen took a game-high eight shots (three more than any other player), only two were even on target.
"We had many chances, we didn't convert them," coach Gennaro Gattuso told Sky Italia. "Our tempo was too slow when Sassuolo had the ball.
"We must keep working, keep improving, and find a way to get Osimhen better service."
For now, Napoli supporters continue to appear to be giving the striker the benefit of the doubt, but one goal in seven outings in all competitions is an increasingly concerning ratio.
Simy, Chukwueze among the goals
While Osimhen's scoring record in Italy requires some improvement, two of his compatriots did find the net this weekend, and could potentially stand the Super Eagles in good stead heading into the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

It remains to be seen if Simy Nwankwo will be considered by Gernot Rohr, but on the basis of this season's form, he surely deserves an imminent Nigeria recall.
The towering striker netted his third Serie A goal of the season on Saturday, albeit in defeat, as Crotone were defeated at home by Atalanta.
Another disappointing result as their wait for a maiden win this season continues, but Simy is reaffirming how important he will be in their battle against the drop — he has 50 percent of their goals so far this term — and reminding doubters just what he has to offer at this level.
Over in Spain, Samuel Chukwueze rounded off the weekend with the opener for Villarreal as they downed Real Valladolid 2-0 to move up to third in La Liga.
The Yellow Submarine have bounced back impressively since their 4-0 thumping by Barcelona, and after an assist against Qarabag FK in midweek, Chukwueze finally has his first goal since November 2019.
Questions have been raised — not least by Samuel Eto'o — about the wideman's end product, and while returns have been diminishing since his debut campaign in Spain, Monday's classy left-footed finish suggests that Unai Emery could be overseeing an improvement in the winger.

Astronomers find 24 'superhabitable' planets within Milky Way galaxy
By Catherine Park
FOX TV Digital Team
FILE - This long-exposure picture taken early on August 20, 2020, shows a view of the Milky Way galaxy rising in the sky above the Judaean mountains in the occupied West Bank between Palestinian Jericho and Israel's Ein Gedi.
A recent study published in the journal Astrobiology, found that there are more than a dozen "superhabitable" worlds in our galaxy.
Astronomers have identified 24 possible "Earth-like" worlds within the Milky Way galaxy "even better for life than our Earth," according to the study authored by geologist, Dirk Schulze-Makuch, and astronomers Rene´ Heller, and Edward Guinan.
While there are more than 4,000 exoplanets in the Milky Way, astronomers say that the list of top contenders could host several factors that can support life.
One caveat scientists note is that, while some planets could have all the right ingredients to support life, it does not mean life exists on one of these "superhabitable" planets.
"It is important to note that a planet might be habitable, but lifeless because the origin of life never occurred. This might be because the environmental constraints for the origin of life are much more stringent than for the persistence of life," the study stated.
RELATED: Fireball seen across several East Coast states was a meteor, experts say
Also, it was noted that during this study, the initiative was not to look for a perfect mirror image of our Earth, but to look beyond an exact twin to our home planet in hopes to find a similar but sustainable one.The study noted that Earth's history was taken into consideration as well.
"In fact, the natural history of Earth shows that habitability fluctuated quite significantly over geological eons. This does not only refer to major asteroid impacts or other calamities that wiped out large parts of the biosphere, but also long-lasting Snowball Earth Events, which resulted in subdued biospheres for millions of years (Ward and Brownlee, 2000)," according to the study.
Out of the 24 planets believed to be "superhabitable," one, in particular, stands out the most and fits all the criteria scientists use to determine what makes a planet capable of supporting life.
Two full moons to light up night sky this October
Typically, there are only 12 full moons in a given year, but 2020 will have 13 with two in the month of October.
"Only one of the candidates (KOI 5715.01) fits all three criteria, but it has a predicted lower global temperature than Earth when a gray atmosphere model is used that includes an approximation for a greenhouse effect," the study stated.
However, none of the 24 planets, including KOI 5715.01, are less than 100 light-years away, the study stated.
"Although none of these planets and planet candidates is closer than 100 light-years and, therefore, inaccessible for high-quality observations from NASA's TESS mission, we argue that superhabitable planets might well be present in the exoplanet sample known today," according to the study.
RELATED: Mars to appear extra bright in October during close approach to Earth
Astronomers took into account several factors that help determine what makes a planet "superhabitable," which include, the lifespan of the star around which the planet orbits. The study references that life on Earth only came into existence 3.5 billion years after it was even formed and about another 4 billion years to technologically advanced life to appear on the planet. Thus, the age of the star will be very dependent on if any of its orbiting planets even had a chance to create life in the first place.
Another factor is the makeup of the planet, for example, does it contain a core, mantle and crust such as Earth? In this particular study, scientists posit that an even larger planet, as well as a more warm and humid planet would actually make for the perfect Earth substitute.
Also, the perfect-sized moon could make or break a planet's ability to support life. Astronomers stated in this study that Earth was given all of the right ingredients to create a habitable planet, and the moon's size is actually a big part of that. The size and distance of Earth's moon creates perfect balance for the tides. If the moon were any closer or larger, " Earth's habitability would likely have been worse than it has been due to the tidal locking imposed by the gravitational pull imposed by such a hypothetical moon. Once in tidal locking, the Earth's day length could be several times its contemporary value, which would have dramatic effects on the surface distribution of sunlight as an external source of energy."
Despite these observations, scientists say the ultimate determinant of finding another habitable planet would be to be able to look into the history of the planet's development, which is virtually impossible, the study stated.
RELATED: Rare blue moon to light up night sky on Halloween 2020
"Our point here is not to identify potential targets for follow-up observations but to illustrate that superhabitable worlds may already be among the planets that have been detected," the study continued.
However, this does not mean finding another, possibly better "superhabitable" planet is impossible.
"Should such a planet be discovered within about 100 light-years in the near future, then such a world would deserve higher priority for follow-up observations in search of extrasolar life than the most Earth-like planets," the study concluded.

Water treatment and the future for fiber
A unique technological breakthrough is turning wood residues into a wonder material. It's a technology that embodies the circular economy and sustainability and at its heart is an efficient water treatment system from Biothane, a business unit of Veolia Water Technologies.
Fibenol is putting the finishing touches to a full-scale demonstration unit for a remarkable new technology that has the potential to transform a whole range of major industries using materials produced from wood. Instead of the current system of fossil fuel-based building blocks in sectors like chemicals, liquid fuels, and construction, the technology represents an opportunity to deploy bio-based materials using a process that exemplifies the circular sustainable economy. It's a radical modernisation of the forestry sector, but at the heart of the system is effective process water treatment. Key to the success of the project was a close partnership between Fibenol and Biothane. Working with Fibenol, Biothane played a vital role in achieving the desired outcomes of plant design in terms of sustainability, efficiency, and productivity by allowing almost all of the process water to be treated and reused.
Led by Fibenol, the SWEETWOODS consortium project is a commercial-scale demonstration plant that is under development at Imavere in Estonia. Nine European companies have joined forces in this flagship project. By using a novel pre-treatment process in combination with enzymatic solutions, the residual hardwood feedstock can be transformed into high-value products.
Even in the demonstration phase, the so-called Sunburst pre-treatment process developed by Sweetwater Energy Inc is already meeting expectations on performance targets. Crucially though, the elegant wood fractionation design converts more than 90% of the biomass into high-value usable bioproducts within a small physical footprint and with minimal environmental impact.
Using proprietary technology, the plant efficiently converts wood processing residues into high-purity cellulosic sugars and lignin called LIGNOVA™ at an industrial scale. LIGNOVA™ materials are used for production of biocomposites for injection molding, different resins and adhesives, tested out inrigid polyurethane foam panels for insulation and many other applications. The produced cellulosic sugars are also suitable for fermentation processes to make bio-isobutene, for example. This is a key ingredient in many fossil-based products and its conversion into cosmetics ingredients has already been successfully demonstrated.
Ultimately, this resource-efficient and value-added approach marks a breakthrough for wood processing, transforming a relatively static sector into a cutting-edge biomaterial and biochemicals industry that provides sustainable alternatives to fossil fuel-based resources.
Reinventing wood products
Over the last 20 or 30 years, there has been lots of effort to innovate new techniques for the bioprocessing of woody biomass, in particular for converting wood into biobased building blocks. The primary obstacle has been to achieve that outcome at good efficiency and to do it in a way that the outputs are of high quality. The Sunburst pre-treatment process allows us to produce sugars that can be with ease used for ethanol fermentation but also other biochemical fermentation routes. The quality of the high-purity hydrolysis lignin and the unique extraction method for microcrystalline cellulose are enabling a new era of biomaterials and bioproducts, helping industries do more with less at high efficiency, with minimal environmental impact and maximum resource recycling and reuse.
With lower greenhouse gas emissions, decreased water and chemicals requirements, the Sunburst fractionation process utilises almost the entire wood mass while reducing waste by some 80% when compared with other state-of-the-art industrial biorefining processes. It also proves the ease of implementation and simple operations needed to recover this additional value from a small footprint. The Sunburst pre-treatment module requires less than 250 m2 to convert wood flakes into an easily pumpable homogenous liquified wood slurry.
Taking less than 45 minutes from start-up to reach operational conditions, its high-purity outputs are largely free of unwanted by-products, making a true biorefinery possible and offering the possibility that almost anything that is made from oil today could be made from wood in the future.
Developing the SWEETWOODS demonstration plant downstream process design concept started with the wastewater treatment and selecting a top-tier water treatment partner like Biothane. It was determined that to ensure process efficiency the plant would need to use technology that allows at least 75% of the treated water to be recycled as process water. With this as the starting point, it was possible to begin defining what kind of technologies were to be used. Furthermore, about 90% of the organic fraction within the outflow is transferred to the biogas production process which is then used within the on-site combined heat and power plant for energy production. The process is fully powered by renewable energy, which part is derived from the produced biogas.
Although it is a unique process, Biothane delivered the robust water recycling elements of the system using standard and off the shelf technologies from Veolia's extensive water treatment tool box.
The future of fractionation
Development of the concept for SWEETWOODS wood fractionation demonstration plant began in 2016. Complete final acceptance tests of the Sunburst pre-treatment technology have already been achieved in 2021 and the demonstration plant will be fully functional in 2023. Annual production capacity will be around 8,000 tonnes of different LIGNOVA™ grades and some 20,000 dry tonnes of cellulosic wood sugars.
The next phase of the Fibenol developments will see the technology scale to full industrial capacity with production rates of 8 to 10 times that of the demonstration plant in Estonia. Given the pre-treatment technology is modular, the capacity of any subsequent plant can be easily scaled depending on the location and feedstock availability. Again, water treatment will be the defining factor in developing plant capacity but further improvements are possible here. For example, the decision to deploy a cross-flow type membrane in the demonstrator plant was a consequence of the very small footprint available at the Estonian project site. Indeed, the entire system including water treatment occupies a footprint of just 500 m2. Nonetheless, at any full-scale unit, a submerged filtration system would represent an opportunity to reduce energy consumption if more space was available. Similarly, if further improvements in water quality are needed, the existing filtration system could be extended with the deployment of off-the-shelf reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filtration system.
Traditionally, the wood industry has been focused on a specific end product while any by-products are typically used as feedstock for low-value energy solutions. With the Sunburst pre-treatment process breakthrough, a new approach is made possible by Fibenol. The raw material feedstock is still forestry and wood industry derived, but by turning materials of limited value into high-value biomaterials, the philosophy is completely different.
For the SWEETWOODS project, Biothane's technology is delivering biogas and cleaned process water for recycling at high efficiency, a low-impact process that sits at the heart of this wood fractionation revolution. It's a system that not only reduces fossil fuel use and minimises the impact on water resources but is the full realisation of the sustainable circular economy.

Onilude, professor of microbiology while delivering the university of Ibadan's 454th inaugural lecture on Thursday, 14th March, 2019 said University of Ibadan can generate electricity for the whole nation through bioelectricity if given 1% of the whole amount Nigeria spent between 1999 and 2015 on provision of electricity in one form or the other. The lecture --held at the University's Internaltional conference center -- titled Addicted to Challenge: Man, Microbes and the Quest for Energy was the third in the Department of microbiology since its inception in 1980. He said using an inserted cathode-in-anode microbial electrochemical reactor designed for bioelectricity production, voltages and currents enough to power light emitting diodes (LED) bulbs and a digital clock were generated by Ajunwa et al in 2018. "According to the Federal office of statistics, Nigeria between 1999 abd 2015 spent over $16.5b on privision of electricity in one form or the other. Commencing with cottage provisions which is the in-thing with industrial scale-ups in emerging economies like India, I believe given just 1 in 100 of this amount, this university could be challenged to work out a grand plan to through a scale up process to produce electricity for the nation", He said. Also, while speaking on enzyme production of microorganism, he said investigation has also been done on the characteristics of 'some hydrolytic enzymes synthesized by Fungi isolated from selected wood samples in South Western Nigeria and the biopulping potential of the producing fungal isolates". He said pulping is done using either of mechanical pulping, electrical pulping or chemical pulping procedures which are characterized with economically unfriendly, high cost of chemicals, destructive tendency during mechanical pulping among others. He then expressed optimism in the use of hydrolytic enzymes from microorganism which have been proven to break down the bonds and release "locked up" material for pulp making within a short period of time. He registered his displeasure at the condition of the three paper mills in Nigeria -- Jebba paper mill in Kwara state, Oku-Iboku paper Mills (in Cross river state) and Iwopin pulp and paper Mills ( in Iwopin, Ijebu Waterside, Ogun State). He said " While the first two have closed down, the third has never worked for a single day! On a recent visit to Iwopin, I wept for Nigeria. A multimillion dollar project made up of Indian and Russian paper production technology ( combined) with sprawling housing estates, Staff Club all lying fallow after 43 years of installation! All covered up with bush." The inaugural lecturer, Professor Onilude, during the course of the lecture collapsed and when resuscitated concluded the lecture while sitting. He recommended that the Federal government should as a matter of urgency declare Emergency in Nigerian Education, legislate against the introduction of and use of energy drink dotting our cities as this will aside saving our foreign exchange also save the emotional and hormonal development of the youth and to provide funds and enabling environment for enzyme production, distribution and sales to Nigerian industries. He concluded saying " Mr Vice Chancellor, Sir, in concluding this lecture, I will say that in the quest for energy by both man and microbes, it is still a draw as man is winning some as evidenced by the following from our research: cereal substitution with starter degraded agro wastes in animal management; bioenergy ( in form of bioethanol, biodiesel and bioelectricity) development from wastes; weaning food from starter fermented substrates; enzyme-mediated industrial processes for biopulping; biobleaching and de-lignification; enzyme production and usage in Nigeria industries; enhanced agrowaste management using whole cells and enzymes for production of value-added material and discovery/development of new antimicrobials from actinomycetes"

Missing Child Exploiters: Charities and Businesses Profit from Tragedy (Part 2 of 2)
Shaquita Louis at Holladay Park Saturday, where friends and family were distributing fliers appealing for anyone with information about her daughter Yashawnee
Yashawnee Vaughn, Kyron Horman, Polly Klaas. When innocents disappear, emotions run high – even among people who have no connection to the lost children or their families.
Polly's father, California resident Mark Klaas, says the terror and confusion in the aftermath of abduction opens the door to manipulation and hysteria that are used to line the pockets of inscrutable people.
"When children go missing chaos seems to rule everything – it seems to rule the family, they don't know where to go or what to do, and I say this from experience," he says. "You have these people that just exploit that chaos for their own ends, people who really have nothing going in their lives but to wait around for something like this to happen."
The Skanner News took a closer look at Northwest businesses and charities dedicated to finding lost and missing children. We discovered that scams, slack operations and consumer rip-offs are costing charitable givers millions a year.
And set alongside the honest attempts of concerned volunteers to help out – it's almost impossible for law enforcement or state agencies to crack down on the problem.
Grey Area of Registration, Money
Michelle Bart, who emerged in media reports April 3 as the spokesperson for Vaughn's traumatized mother and grandmother, has not been paid for writing press releases and arranging media interviews for the family – and says she never asked to be (in full disclosure, she arranged an interview with Vaughn's grandmother for the Skanner News and KOIN television).
Her website, www.HelpingHeroes.com , lists her contact information for marketing and public relations but does not contain any sort of contribution button or PayPal link.
Her business is also not registered with either Washington or Oregon.
A spokesperson for Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna's office says that certain types of consultant services do not technically have to register with the state.
"There's a threshold where if you are a nonprofit charitable organization you are going to have to – depending on how much money you are bringing in – you would have to be registered," spokesperson Kristin Alexander says.
But in this area Bart's efforts are far from harmful.
Also not registered as a business in either Oregon or Washington is Harry Oakes and his company K9 Search and Rescue. Oakes was booted by Multnomah County Sheriff's Search and Rescue from the April 2 police search scene for Vaughn's remains at rugged Rocky Butte Park in Northeast Portland.
Law enforcement contacted for this story had a lot of griping to do against Oakes, who comes from a law enforcement background but has no positive standing with police or sheriff's deputies.
"Any family of a crime victim who has someone approaching them saying I will do this for you – some of them can be very good and very helpful and some of them have ulterior motives," says Lt. Pete Simpson of the Portland Police.
Oakes' website has a PayPal donation button, as does a Facebook page his supporters have set up called The Private Search for Kyron Horman. The problem with that is – Horman's family never asked him for help and does not sanction any of his efforts.
Nevertheless Oakes has itemized his "search" work for Kyron on his blog, listing how much he would be charging for the services if he were paid. He is not registered with the state of Oregon.
Kyron's family foundation, on the other hand – the website is www.BringKyronHome.org – is registered with the Oregon Secretary of State's charitable organization database, which is searchable on the web.
Vaughn's family website, http://www.yashanee.com/ has contact information. The foundation in her name is has a registered tax ID number, Crime Stoppers is administering the $1,000 reward money for information in a resolution in her case, and US Bank is administering the Yashanee Vaughn Search Fund.
A standout in the area of missing children charities is the Everett, Wash.-based Operation Lookout National Center for Missing Youth. Their motto is, "Every missing child deserves the chance to be found" – and the words "Operation Lookout" appear with a registered copyright symbol.
Operation Lookout's website is packed with missing child lists, photos, widgets and search engines, and a custom contribution button in one corner urges donors to give as much as $500. It says, "Every minute matters! Every dollar counts!"
The nonprofit organization evaluation website Charity Navigator, however, gives it 0 ratings for "efficiency," "capacity," and "overall" – a rare feat among nonprofits listed there.
The group's website says it has been around since 1984, but online public records only go back to 2006.
The database shows that of the $2,034,149 total revenue Operation Lookout declared in its most recent report in 2008, $1,663,524 – 82.9 percent -- was spent on "fundraising."
Program expenses were pegged at 12.6 percent.
With liabilities carried over on its debit sheet since 2006, the group ended 2008 with negative $44,821 in working capital.
"We are committed to locating missing children through active casework investigation, assisting law enforcement agencies, and preventing child abduction through education and public awareness," Operation Lookout's Charity Navigator listing says.
"Since 1984, our resolve has been to remain involved throughout the duration of a case until the child is recovered and not close a case until authorized by law enforcement or the searching family."
In the same category are The Committee for Missing Children, in Georgia (0 stars out of a possible 4 stars); California-based Find the Children (1 star); the National Child Safety Council in Missouri (1 star); and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in Virginia (3 out of 4 stars).
Robert Lowery, executive director of the Missing Children's Division of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, told The Skanner News that families have to find a way to look into the backgrounds of the people who offer to help them.
"Our 'Team Hope' may provide advice on what a family is facing," he said. "It has a tendency to bring out a lot of people who want to help – it's good to check out the background for the family"
Operation Lookout was named by the 24/7 Wall St. blog on its "Nine Most Mismanaged Charities in America" list in November, 2010.
Basic Financial Guidelines
Marc Klaas
Klaas created the KlaasKids foundation to support the parents of missing and murdered children through services and education on how to navigate the painful aftermath of a family tragedy.
He said part of his recent work has been to establish best practices for how families can work together with authorities to find missing kids without being ripped off.
"Every two-bit con artist within a hundred mile radius is going to angle for a slice of the money pie," he writes in his online guide for parents.
Klaas suggests a four-part strategy to deal with fundraising in connection with any missing child case:
A local financial institution should tightly control funds raised to assist the family or recover the child.
Accounts should be established for specific purposes and withdrawals should require two signatures: one from a family member and one from an objective third party.
The missing child's family should sanction fundraising activities and money that is raised should be immediately deposited into the relevant accounts.
Media should be scanned for bogus fundraising activities and law enforcement should be contacted when they are discovered.
For more information go to www.klaaskids.org . To contribute to the Yashawnee Vaughn fund go to http://www.yashanee.com/ ; and for Kyron Horman information go to www.bringkyronhome.org .
A benefit event to support the search for Yashawnee is planned for 8 p.m. Thursday, April 21 at the Good Call on SE 110th and Division Street. Ages 21 and over only. No charge, but donations may be accepted.
A Gospel music celebration of Yashawnee's life is set for 6:30 p.m. Friday May 6 at Maranatha church, 4222 Northeast 12th Ave. Hosted by Rev. J.W. Friday. If you know something, call 503-823-HELP.

In Oakland's Temescal neighborhood is the newest addition to the growing Filipino food scene in the Bay Area. The long awaited opening of FOB Kitchen took place last November, taking over the space of Preeti Mistry's beloved Juhu Beach Club. I decided to try FOB Kitchen's brunch menu on a Saturday morning, waiting about 45 minutes to be seated. Growing up in a Filipino household, I was, as always, intrigued to see how it compares to my grandmother's cooking.
I ordered the Pandan Iced Coffee, iced coffee infused with pandan leaves — an aromatic plant commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine. It was a delicious and refreshing take on iced coffee. If it's a Friday night out or you're just feeling extra thirsty, check out the awesome beer and wine list including San Miguel Lager, a Filipino staple. They offer a brilliantly named cocktail list featuring drinks like "Feelin' Myself", "Blow the Whistle", and "The Town", tying in its East Bay roots.
To start, we began with Shanghai Lumpia, a must-try classic with ground pork, carrots, and water chestnuts with a sweet chili sauce. We shared a few "silog" plates, silog meaning with fried garlic rice topped with an egg. The Tocino, sweet cured pork shoulder, was tender and juicy — a relief from what I've sometimes experienced as dry and chewy. The Lechon Kawali, thrice cooked pork belly, was fried, fatty goodness dipped in spiced vinegar to offset the fat. We also tried the Adobo Fried Rice as with Filipino cuisine, you can never have too much rice. The Adobo Fried Rice was a winner — rice cooked with pork adobo, the Filipino national dish.
Did it compare to my grandmother's cooking? While nothing can ever compare to her dishes, FOB Kitchen sure hit close to home. It's a refreshing take from the usual cafeteria style Filipino restaurants, with a great atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious eats!
Over the holidays, instead of sitting home eating another portion of leftovers, I decided to take my parents out to Oceanside and try my friend's new restaurant, Dija Mara. My friend Ryan Costanza has been a chef at many incredible restaurants around the world, so imagine my excitement when I realized that he had a new spot near my parent's home in Southern California.
When we arrived in Oceanside two days after Christmas, the usually buzzing town was all but silent. Although the streets were quiet, Dija Mara was filled with smiling faces and the delicious smell of Southeast Asian cuisine. Dija Mara is known for their mix of Southeast Asian flavors with Western flair and Japanese cooking techniques, which basically means Balinese Californian food. Already sounds amazing, right?! All of their wine is natural, so this was my parents first time trying natural wine and we went with Ryan's recommendation of the Vermentino. The wine was funky and paired perfectly with every single dish that was sent out. It's a rare occasion that the wine matches such a wide range of food, but Ryan personally made sure that every wine in the restaurant pairs well with each dish, so no matter what you order, you're in good hands. Once the Vermentino got the thumbs of approval from my parents, we knew we could just sit back and enjoy any dish that Ryan sent out.
The first dish that we received was the Grilled Flat Bread on Sonora Wheat Sourdough with roasted chicken curry. The flatbread was grilled like a traditional roti but maintained it's moist and fluffy texture which made it perfect for scooping up the curry. Then we had the Charred Eggplant which was made with smoked tomato sambal, meyer lemon labne, thai basil and fried shallot. Next up was the Sea Bream Ceviche with kaffir lime, daikon, sambal matah, cassava, black sesame and coconut. This was probably the most shocking dish for me as I'm not one for raw seafood, but somehow, the way they prepare the sea bream, it's not too "fishy," but instead it's light, bright and airy with a hint of lemongrass. Needless to say, we cleaned our plate.
The next dish was the Squash "Gado" which is Japanese sweet potato, variations of squash, persimmon, sunchoke and peanut ghee. This dish was not only beautifully prepared, but it also moved, which was funny to watch my parents react to. This was one of my favorite dishes as the peanut ghee added such an elegant flavor to the squash, and the variations of squash made each bite different from the last. We also had these incredible Corn Fritters made with heart of palm, mango mostarda, crème fraiche, lardo and prawn. Even the Chicken Thigh Satay was prepared in a way that was reminiscent of yakitori which mixed the traditional Balinese satay with Japanese cooking techniques. Just when we thought we couldn't eat any more, they brought out the Grilled Octopus with Thai pork collar sausage, curried potato, pineapple vinegar and sambal ijo. I love octopus, so this dish was a highlight for me. The pork sausage and curried potato really gave the dish an incredibly authentic Southeast Asian flavor. The last dish of the evening was the Mie Goreng with tomato, sambal matah, cabbage, Chinese sausage and carbonara egg. I love a noodle dish, especially traditional Mie Goreng so I had high hopes for this dish and they exceeded my expectations. The carbonara egg brought to mind Italian influences while still maintaining a traditional flavor with a lot of spice – this by far was my favorite dish. I wish I was eating it right now, honestly. At this point our bellies were full and the wine had come and gone, but Ryan had one more surprise up his sleeve and brought out a Black Sesame Brownie with coconut gelato. I'm not usually a dessert fan, but this was above and beyond! The brownie was so light, and the coconut really gave it a new flavor that I don't typically taste in desserts.
Overall, I completely understand why Dija Mara was awarded Eater's San Diego's restaurant of the year for 2018. If you want authentic Balinese and Southeast Asian cuisine with a California twist, then this is the place for you. And sending a MAJOR thank you to Chef Ryan Costanza for preparing this incredible experience for us. I can't wait to come back here again and try some more of the natural wine selections and stuff my face with the Mie Goreng!
On the way out to our relaxing trip to Bali, we made a stop in Hong Kong to explore, eat and drink. Everything was incredible and per the suggestion of our friend, we made a special stop at Dr. Fern's Gin Parlour, an exciting, stylish bar tucked away in the basement of The Landmark. The concept for the bar is that it belongs to Dr. Fern who is a botanist that prescribes gin cocktails for "stress-related ailments." From the white coats worn by the staff, to the host asking if you have an appointment upon arrival, the theme was executed quite nicely.
Madison – I ordered one of the gimlets that night. In flavor, it was similar to a Moscow Mule. The drink was good, but my favorite part of the bar was the ambiance. We realized there are a lot of trendy bars in Hong Kong. The cocktail scene really seems to be taking off there. Dr. Fern's seemed to be a particularly popular as it was crowded the night we were there.
Maya – I ordered one of the special gin & tonics that was supposed to be made with Sabatini Gin. Unfortunately, they were out, but they recommended a substitute and it was delicious. It was garnished with olive, cardamom, and thyme. I also loved the ambiance and details that were carried throughout the space to give the feel of a doctor's office. For example, the Patient Waiting Room was off to the side for if you had a reservation and your table wasn't ready (we ended up waiting there). The menu has a "personal prescription" section, the bill came in an old pill box, and the servers wore white doctors' coats. The details were wonderful.
If you find yourself in Hong Kong, we highly recommend stopping in at Dr. Fern's.

Atelier – [Andy Z6]
Chuck Ramos
Although we may predominately associate Atlanta with Hip Hop, much of Georgia's capital biggest draws as of late, for me at least, have come from the talented artists that operate in the grey-area between Pop and R&B. One of the most recent acts I have come across that I cannot seem to stop listening to is the genre-merging ability of Andy Z6. His latest three-track release Atelier is a truly compelling listen that showcases a clear talent and range from an artist who seems to know exactly what he is doing.
The 11-minute showcasing jumps right into the glamour that makes Andy's vocal strength and ear for production so inviting. The undeniable bounce and bright guitar melody of the three-packs opener, "Let's Just Say," is a gripping start to an impressive set of songs that finds Andy showcasing his multifaceted ability as an artist. Atelier's second record, "Baguette," contrasts the opener by reeling in the tempo, delivering a more laid-back soundbed that allows the Georgia based artist to flex his ability to captivate even when things are moving a little bit slower on the production side of things. The conclusion to the short-lived stay of the three-part showcasing, "Florence Freestyle," is a hopeful declaration of future achievements. Despite any hardship or turmoil that may exist in Andy and feature-mate Michael Aristotle's lives the two understand that success is imminent.
Listen to Atelier by Andy Z6 below.

Music is powerful and there is no greater feeling than experiencing a song that has the power to change the course of your day, mood and energy. In today's climate, it's rare to come across artists who invoke this power, but anytime I stumble on one who does, it's important...
Foreign Glizzy – "Hate it or Love it"
Gary Williams, also known as Foreign Glizzy, uses music to discuss his upbringing and act as an inspiration to his audience. Last year, he released a "Foreign Exchange" project through his independent label, Foreign Family Records. Glizzy's most famous hit, "Road Running," with a sick drum beat that oozes bass and West...

Your presence is presently requested. A present is not required, so just put that phone down and skedaddle (after reading this highly informative article, of course!).
The gift of face-to-face human interaction is yours by right. Sure, the distance covered thanks to today's cutting edge technology has diminished greatly, yet paradoxically the same technology has put us further away from those whom we are with in a closer physical proximity. In other words, it brings us closer to Ed and Ted in Peru and Cebu respectively, but we are sailing away from Ned after we decided against his idea of a drink at the local bar. We would rather "like" a picture on Facebook of a dog "driving" a car… in Madagascar!
For more than five hours the young man took.
You can physically hug a laptop or a Smartphone, just like you can hug a tree or a human being. Try not to laugh! Hugging technology, though, just does not have the same endorphin-releasing benefits as giving someone a hug (or even hugging a tree for that matter). It is also much easier to understand people face-to-face: intonation of words, body language, mood detection, lies. With communication through messengers or phone calls to a lesser extent, things can be misconstrued, which can cause tempers to flare up in an instant. Watch out for autocorrect; romantic relationships have ended just because of a misunderstanding caused by autocorrect. What about sending messages to the wrong people? Apologies galore!
Then there are Emojis, those mostly yellow faces showing happy, sad, angry, excited, and now there are SYMBOLS, HAND GESTURES, and even FLAGS. According to Emojipedia, there are 1,394 normal Emojis, 435 modified Emojis, and 22 Sequences and the most popular in 2015 is the laughing face. Yet these Emojis, ironically enough, can be and have been used by people without emotion attached to them.
In terms of human interactions, face-to-face (and/or body-to-body!) connections are the equivalent of using the elevator and technological ones are the equivalent of taking the stairs. You can start off and connect electronically, but sooner or later, that must be translated into physical presence. Long Distance Relationships (LDRs) are the perfect example. "LDRs are not more prone to break-ups than normal relationships," states Long Distance Relationship Statistics. With that said, it takes on average 4 1/2 months before a LDR breaks down and 40% of all LDRs end in a break-up, it adds. The end goal of a LDR is to see each other at some point after a generally specified timeframe. This could be anything between once every fortnight and once a year, and sometimes less.
For her to stay Rob must beseech.


Themed anthologies can be a challenge. The more broad the theme, the harder it can be to pull all of the authors into a cohesive collection. In his new collection Sensorama, Allen Ashley has succeeded marvelously at creating a broad-based thematic anthology that hold together from start to finish.
The theme is our senses. A seemingly straight-forward subject, yet the authors take this simple premise to startlingly new, imaginative places. The opening story, Gary Budgen's "Blinding a Few Dogs," finds inspiration in classic 19th century Gothic horror to create a disturbing tale with skin-crawling implications. Richard Mosses' tale "Stone" continues in the same vein with a terrifying tale that skillfully blends ancient mythology and modern horror. "Making See," by Mark Patrick Lynch, is also one of the highlights, as Lynch slowly tears the layers of the mind away to lay bare our darkest fears about one another. Another stand-out in the collection is Jon Michael Kelley's lyrically beautiful, hauntingly original "A Mimicry of Night," in which a man finds a most unusual cicada that seems possessed with the ability to send its predators into a profound kind of blindness—but does the effect originate with the cicada alone, or from some far deeper, more terrifying alchemy? Each of the stories is laden with suspense and creeping terror, the kind that lingers on the back of the neck as the bedside light fades into darkness.
Unlike so much current dark fiction, Ashley avoids the tropes, cliché elements, and expected monsters. He's chosen a group of authors who understand that horror can be both complex and subtle, and that the worst monsters sometimes come from our own minds and fractured psyches. We create the horrors, both real and imagined, particularly when we can no longer trust our senses. Sounds, images, smells, tastes, and touch can turn against us so easily. The authors in Sensorama tear down our comfort and security by reminding us of the fragility of what we believe to be reality. Is that really you staring back from the bathroom mirror? Perhaps, but then again, perhaps not. After reading Sensorama, reality will never be quite so… real again. Highly recommended.

Flood Planning Meeting Announced, Public Invited
HELENA-WEST HELENA --- Phillips County Judge Don Gentry has announced an intergovernmental council meeting to be held tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. in the Chancery (Small) Courtroom on the 3rd Floor of the Phillips County Courthouse. The current criminal court term is underway, therefore parking may be an issue.
This meeting is expected to have in attendance all of the parties necessary to affect a plan. The judge expects members from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, all mayors within Phillips County, all school superintendents or a designated representative, the Office of Emergency Services and representatives from Durham Bus Services and Mid Delta Community Services' Transportation Division. Judge Gentry has assured The Scoop that "we have a plan; this meeting is to announce what it is and reassure the public." Judge Gentry explained that the highest point, above sea level, is "in the Barton area, near the high school." Judge Gentry believes that all school districts will work with the community in the event of a need to use school facilities for shelter.
The Central High School Gymnasium was used, several years ago, for a shelter for Helena residents who were evacuated because of a fire at the Scoular facility which sits on the banks of the River at the east end of Arkansas Street. District and city officials acted quickly to set establish that shelter as there was little warning or prep time.
The Mississippi River has been above flood stage for several days and is not expected to crest or reach its highest flooding point until Thursday, May 12, 2011. When the river crests, it will have attained a height of 56.5 feet which is 12.5 feet above flood stage which is 44 feet. The river will then begin to recede at a slow pace.
Several precautions have already been taken in this area. The Sea Wall (Levee Wall) gate has been closed. The Walker Street Levee gate has been closed. The community has been placed on high alert via various media outlets including social media like Twitter and Facebook.
A growing concern has been expressed repeatedly by citizens wanting to "hear" from their leaders. In Memphis, Mayor A. C. Wharton and Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell, have been continuously informing citizens. The emergency planning personnel have established a website to keep the public informed. Evacuation notices have been issued and heightened police patrols have been ordered.
By contrast, our leaders have been mute.
The public is invited to attend this meeting on tomorrow to hear from local officials on the plan going forward.

got one for you. only a year late. three minute movie is a snuffy smile band from ages ago. they had a couple of albums then disappeared. they seem to be about again though, playing shows, probably not sounding a whole lot like they used to. their cd "rhythm of wind and water" was rather braid-esque, whilst "the film reflects a dramatic city" was more superchunk. here's the lead track from "rhythm..." and i hope you agree that it is quite the belter.
