There must be something about the space at 240 West 52d Street (near Broadway) that makes it a magnet for the downtown scene.
The Lone Star Cafe pioneered the space, opening in July 1988 as the Lone Star Roadhouse and abandoning its 13th Street location a year later. In 1994, it closed, its place taken last year by a reincarnation of Art D'Lugoff's venerable Village Gate, the legendary jazz club that shut its Bleecker Street doors in 1993.
Now the Village Gate is gone, too, after less than a year. (Mr. D'Lugoff said last week that a club like his ''just couldn't make money,'' given midtown rents.) And the new lease-holders of the four-story space are busily preparing a restaurant and club they hope to call Max's Kansas City, thus invoking another downtown legend amid midtown's commercial towers.
Scheduled for a mid-December opening, the new venture will feature a ''half meat, half seafood'' restaurant with many pictures of the old Max's crowd, said Chris Smith, who is also a partner in Mad Fish, an Upper West Side restaurant.
He and Tommy Dean Mills, his partner in the Max's venture and owner of Max's Kansas City in the 1970's, also hope to have live music on the third floor next spring.
But not if Yvonne Sewall-Ruskin has her way. The second wife of Mickey Ruskin, who founded the original Max's in the 1960's, says that she, and not Mr. Mills, owns the trademark to the name and that she is planning legal action to try to stop the opening.
Originally located on Park Avenue South at 17th Street, Max's Kansas City first knew fame in the 1960's and early 1970's as a haunt for Andy Warhol and denizens of the downtown demimonde. The Velvet Underground, Patti Smith and Bruce Springsteen performed there.
But the place closed in 1974, Ms. Sewall-Ruskin said, and since Mr. Ruskin had not registered the trademark, Mr. Mills picked it up in 1976 and used it until 1981 for his own version of Max's at the same location. Ms. Sewall-Ruskin and Mr. Mills are now disputing whether he then abandoned the name and whether her own recent attempt to register it entitles her to it.
Ms. Sewall-Ruskin dismisses the plan for the midtown Max's, saying that it will be another Planet Hollywood, and she says she plans to open her own version should she prevail, ''downtown, where it belongs.'' But Mr. Mills and Mr. Smith are proceeding, and deny that the venture will be a theme restaurant without a soul.
''I'm going to be selling history, not T-shirts,'' Mr. Mills said.
Why midtown instead of a lower Manhattan location? Mr. Mills, who wants the new Max's to become ''the Sardi's of rock-and-roll,'' said that with record company offices and other entertainment businesses nearby, the choice of location was obvious.
''It's where the money is,'' he said.

Jay Smash gains new press
There's a new, dope guy in town and his stage name is "Jay Smash". Check out his features in The Heat Magazine and This Is 50:
This Is 50
Devious: musical architect who helped shape today's bounce sound
"We gonna start this thing off right – we got Devious in the house tonight!" – From 1992's hit single "Where They At"
New Orleans legend Devious (and of course, Hollygrove's own) has long been a mainstay in urban music. His new single "Bounce That" was released just as Drake's new singles are working to bring New Orleans' unique and often imitated/never fully duplicated sound to the world! Super producer BlaqNMild created the track and added his awesome flavor to the already delicious recipe. Yes folks, it's an exciting time in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Devious has long worked as an architect of New Orleans' exciting sound, most notably for his historical work on DJ Jimi's 1992 hit single "Where They At". In fact, that song solidified the careers of not only Jimi, but Devious and Mellow Fellow and led to an explosion of Bounce Music as an entire sub-genre. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, we must put it out there that New Orleans culture created Bounce. The city's own legends catapulted it into mainstream. Once it took its place in music history, artists such as Drake and T.I. helped to make the sound travel even further around the globe – BUT credit must be given to those who created, cultivated and nurtured Bounce and New Orleans music in the beginning! Devious is one of those "bricklayers".
"Bounce That" is available at all digital outlets. A full length album entitled "The Narrative" will soon be released by Devious and you can expect to see some memorable collaborations on deck. Devious is a highly lauded, talented and awarded songwriter, artist, entreprenuer, educator, and mentor who has been busy gaining songwriting credits with Cardi B, Lil Duval, Project Pat, and more. As of late, BlaqNMild has been producing for Drake on "Nice For What" and "In My Feelings", as well as on Devious' upcoming album.
Be on the lookout for Devious' new video and single "Coffee House" feat another legendary Hollygrove MVP, Fiend. In fact, be on the lookout for Devious and BlaqNMild to continue adding to the history of New Orleans' beautiful entertainment resume!
A-Money & his new project covered by The Heat Magazine
In the entertainment world, especially where music artists are concerned, you have to have something special that stands out. Cincinnati rapper/entertainment personality A-Money has that special combination of lyrical ability and personality – qualities we don't hear as often as we'd like. A-Money's here to fill that void by providing quality music that stands the test of time. In his words, "They know." One listen and you'll understand why "THEY KNOW".
A-Money's a real street cat with the business acumen to turn his career into a lasting and profitable venture for many years to come. We caught up with him recently and here's what he had to say:
THE HEAT MAGAZINE: Who were the 3 most important influences on your life?
A-MONEY: My grandmother – that's where I learned intellect and how to articulate. The other two are street nigg*s – they street nigg*s so I ain't gone say they name.
THE HEAT MAGAZINE: What do you feel sets you apart from your counterparts?
A-MONEY: You should be able to hear the difference in my voice. This music is made from real sh*t, from a real nigg* to all real nigg*s. They know.
THE HEAT MAGAZINE: What new projects are you currently working on?
A-MONEY: Aw man, all kind of sh*t coming up. I'm droppin "Guadalajara" which is straight dope and will be available on iTunes and wherever u get yo music real soon. "Trappin" will be available on iTunes, Spotify, all that July 4th.
THE HEAT MAGAZINE: What do you believe is the single most important piece of advice you can give a young entertainer who is just starting out?
A-MONEY: Shid, I'm a young entertainer just starting out so all I can say is try to learn s*** like I am. Feel me?
THE HEAT MAGAZINE: You've already worked with some amazing and legendary entertainers. If you could pick 5 other artists or producers with whom you'd like to work, who would that be and why?
A-MONEY: That's a good a** question. So many people, but I will say Kanye and T.I. "Ye vs. the people starring T.I as the people" made me start back f*cking with this music sh*t. It was genius and innovative. Also, Big Juice the producer, the Migos, Rihanna and Baby Soljia. It's a lot more; I just tried to touch on some different areas.
THE HEAT MAGAZINE: Where can your fans expect to see you in the next 5 years?
A-MONEY: Ha Ha ….. sh*t, it depends on how they continue to take a nigg* music. 5 years, I can either be on Hollywood Boulevard, or back on Reading Road. Feel me?

Which kind of oil press should Kaifang choose?
First of all, oil mill selection is generally three-phase electric, large processing capacity, high efficiency.
Secondly, if you open an oil shop, you usually need to press a variety of raw materials crops, such as soybeans, peanuts, sesame, rapeseed, tea seeds, sunflower and so on. There are many oil crops that need to be pressed, so we need to choose a good, multi-functional oil press equipment. Hengtong 125 multi-functional screw oil press is one of the most practical equipment in Kaifang. Press more than one machine, press clean again. It can process about 600 kilograms of raw materials per hour, fully automatic feeding, which greatly saves the labor cost. A machine can be operated by one person. At the same time, this oil press is a new type of oil press equipment. Compared with the old round row machine, the oil yield is higher and the processing capacity is larger.
Thirdly, this oil press adopts advanced three-stage pressing technology, three high-tide oil outlet parts, the oil yield is higher.
Fourthly, the machine is small in size and occupies a small area. It's OK to open an oil workshop of 10-20 square meters.
In short, the oil yield of the new strip oil extractor is very good, depending on how much production you need. Choose different types of equipment according to the amount of processing.


We had such a great time at the wedding on Friday night. It was beautiful and I'm so happy we were able to go. We got to see lots of old friends and catch up, as well as enjoy some delicious food.
Last week, while roaming around Wal-Mart - which I do fairly often - I saw some kites for $1.97. I picked up a Cinderella one for Zoe. My parent's house is probably one of the top 10 windiest places in the US, so I knew if the kite was going to work, it would work there.
As you can see by the picture - it worked. It worked really well, even for a relatively non-windy day.
Zoe had so much fun seeing it so high in the sky.
Sunday we got a chance to see Ryan's sister and her family while they were visiting some other family in Ogden. Zoe and Luke had tons of fun playing outside, while Jen and I got to catch up.
I got some happy mail today, and I'm super excited to spend some time crafting tonight.
I'm also super excited I have a layout featured over on the Cosmo Cricket Blog - You can check it out here.
Come back tomorrow for a yummy recipe!

What is caffeine? What does it do?
Caffeine is an alkaloid that's found naturally in the seeds and leaves of certain plants such as coffee and tea. Caffeine has found it's way into many medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, pre-workout supplements, energy drinks, soda, and candies. It stimulates the central nervous system and increases your serum levels of epinephrine. Research has shown caffeine to increase mental alertness and concentration. It's also been shown to help improve athletic performance by increasing time to exhaustion and boosting both power & endurance.
So if I'm an athlete looking to improve my performance, should I use caffeine??
It depends. Caffeine effects people differently. Some people are more sensitive than others, so it's important to avoid using caffeine for the first time right before a big race or game. It's also important to know how much is too much, as high doses can trigger cardiac arrhythmias, nervousness, headache, nausea, digestive issues, or dehydration. Studies have shown that excess caffeine does not give you a further boost in performance, but rather it actually decreases it. If you're new to caffeine, I recommend first trying it from a natural source - such as coffee or tea - rather than that 5-hr energy shot or Monster energy drink. Your blood levels of caffeine peak at 45-60 minutes post-consumption, so for best results plan ahead and have it 45-60 min before your workout.
How much caffeine is too much? Is caffeine dehydrating?
Exceeding 300 mg of caffeine per day can lead to increased risk of dehydration. The average cup (8 oz.) of coffee (home-brewed) has about 100 mg, so this is about 3 cups of coffee. Always read labels on supplements to make sure you know how much you are consuming!! And if the supplement doesn't list the amount of caffeine (some just list "proprietary blend") don't use it. You'll have no idea how much you are consuming, and if you're consuming other foods/beverages containing caffeine throughout the day you may be going way overboard. Check out the chart I made below for caffeine & sugar contents present in a variety of beverages.
What about pre-workouts? Should I use them?
There's a good chance if you're using a "pre-workout" it's packed with artificial sweeteners and flavors. No matter how "natural" the company makes their product sound, if it lists the following ingredients you may want to avoid using it pre-workout: sucralose (a.k.a. splenda), acesulfame K, aspartame. Artificial sweeteners lead to gas, bloating, and stomach aches/cramps which is the last thing you want during a workout. If you're someone who eats or drinks foods with artificial sweeteners quite often you may not notice these effects as much.
Also, contrary to popular belief, the excessive amounts of Vitamin B12 found in your pre-workouts do not specifically provide energy. B-vitamins aid in the transition from glucose (carbohydrates) to ATP (energy). That's why it's important to consume adequate amounts of both carbohydrates and B12 sources (found naturally in lean protein sources) as a more effective way to increase your energy levels. That being said, pre-workouts are pretty unnecessary. They're a mix of excessive amounts of Vitamin B12, caffeine, and junk (a.k.a. artificial sweeteners/flavors). My advice is have a shot or two of espresso instead and you'll be getting the same energy boost from caffeine, without the junk.
Does caffeine really help burn up all my body fat?
No. Caffeine is often found as an ingredient in "fat-burner" type pills, and although caffeine promotes fatty acid release, fat burning does not appear to be increased with consumption. Just another reason to avoid bogus weight loss pills. If you're looking for healthy ways to burn body fat, check out a few of my blogs such as this one on weight loss.


Just about everyone has felt out of breath at some point in their lives. You might attribute it to a hard workout, being out of shape, or just getting older. But if you're having breathing problems on a regular basis, it could be a sign of something more. The lung specialists at Aurora BayCare can help diagnose and treat lung problems and breathing disorders.
Aurora BayCare provides outstanding care for people with lung disease of all kinds and stages. As leaders in pulmonary care, we match patients with the most effective treatments available. This includes the best evidence-based therapies as well as access to groundbreaking clinical trials.
Lung specialists are also referred to as pulmonologists. Pulmonary is a medical term meaning "related to the lungs." Terms like pulmonary disease and pulmonary specialist are just another way of talking about lung disease and specialized lung doctors. No matter how you say it, we have the lung care you need, right here in Green Bay.
Advanced diagnosis: Our pulmonary lab is equipped with the latest technology to measure your lung performance, look for disease, and evaluate the impact of treatment.
Innovative treatments: We provide interventional pulmonology services, advanced asthma treatment, and specialized care for COPD. This state-of-the-art technology allows us to diagnose and treat lung conditions in a minimally invasive way that reduces pain and recovery time.
Complete care: Our care includes a respiratory rehab program to strengthen your respiratory system and programs to help you quit smoking.
Asthma: From simple to complex asthma cases, we can address your breathing problems to help you stay safe and active. We were the first area lung specialists offering bronchial thermoplasty, an outpatient procedure to control chronic asthma.
Lung cancer: Aurora BayCare in Green Bay is your regional destination for lung cancer treatments. Our specialists provide single-day lung cancer consults and conduct national-level clinic trials for lung cancer treatment.
Pulmonary fibrosis: We can help you stay healthy, active, and comfortable. Treatment options may include drug therapy, oxygen therapy, or pulmonary rehabilitation.
Pulmonary disease: See our experts for lung conditions such as chronic cough, COPD, emphysema, and shortness of breath. We'll help you find a way to breathe easier.
Sarcoidosis: Treatments for this inflammatory disease may include lifestyle changes and drug therapy.
Sleep apnea: We have the expertise and technology to help you get a good night's rest.
We offer complete care from diagnosis to medical treatment and follow-up. Our team is regularly involved in clinical trials and research programs to evaluate evolving treatments for pulmonary disease.
Talk to our lung specialists about smoking cessation treatments that will help you overcome your addition. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death. When you quit, you lower your risk for life-threatening health conditions like heart disease, stroke, COPD, and lung cancer.
We offer personalized support, including coaching, tobacco cessation medication, and nicotine replacement therapy.
Left untreated, most lung conditions get worse over time. The earlier you seek care, the better.
At Aurora BayCare, our lung specialists provide comprehensive, team-based care. We make sure you get the right care from the right expert, when you need it.
In addition to the clinical care provided by our pulmonologists, our lung care services also incorporate expertise in thoracic imaging and pulmonary rehabilitation. Pulmonologists regularly collaborate with physicians in cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, oncology and rheumatology.


Art and Urban Practice / A project by the Alliance of International Production Houses.
Based on these themes, each member of the Bündnis internationaler Produktionshäuser (International Production Houses Alliance) – FFT Düsseldorf, HAU Hebbel am Ufer, HELLERAU - Europäisches Zentrum der Künste Dresden, Kampnagel Hamburg, Künstlerhaus Mousonturm Frankfurt/Main, PACT Zollverein Essen, and tanzhaus nrw Düsseldorf – develops a wide-ranging programme that will take place in a shared presentation in the spaces of HAU Hebbel am Ufer and in various outdoor locations in Berlin. "Claiming Common Spaces" brings together artists, urbanologists and activists in order to engage with the most crucial aspects of the diverse, global urban society in the 21st century and observe the current socio-political development of urban centres.
Last but not least, international artistic works will be presented – concerts, installations and performances – that were developed in and for urban spaces: among them are "Corbeaux," a piece by the choreographer Bouchra Ouizguen from Morocco, and "McDonald's Radio University" by the Japanese artist Akira Takayama, a lecture series that was developed at McDonald's restaurants in collaboration with refugee teachers. Further works include the question project "Proyecto Pregunta," which the artist collective MIL M2 from Santiago de Chile brings to life. Close to HAU2, the inflatable "Bubble Palace" will invite the audience into a space that offers temporary connectivity and exhilaration while also bringing together concerts (Shkoon, One Mother, Boy Division) and various performative interventions.

so as far as i can tell i have windows ME, not XP... and i cant remember how to get to the little properties window that tells me what i'm running.
i installed gold and Nitro and after a rather lengthy install period everthing runs fine.
the only 2 problems i have is when i have throttle, left, and fire, all pressed my machine beeps at me. i ran into this before but cant recall the fix. thought it was something to do with the sound channels but no dice there.
2nd problem is quite a lot more annoying and a hinderance during online play.
i hosted a game just to run around on some race tracks, only to find that as soon as i died, i could use every view point EXCEPT F2. when using F2 the screen just twirls around like a vulture around the previously dead carcass.
i tried hitting esc and replay, dieing again, going through a regen, the only thing that works is to leave and re enter. or just deal with playing in f1 or f6.
and i downloaded a "demo" i'm assuming of fraps but it says i can only shoot 30 second videos unless i'm registered.
is this the same case with the link in your download section?
and after some researching the archives here i'll be downloading the RMClock thingy too.
PS: got my (obviously) copy of Arsenal in the mail a couple days ago. Pristine condition.
i'll bet my originals didnt look this good after a week of having them.
the book is in worse shape than the discs.
also ordered a copy of orig. from the UK, havent recieved that yet, also waiting on I82.
question on the server scopes as well.
i was having a little trouble figuring out how exactly they read but eventually just went in and hosted a game, popping out occasionally to see if my game showed on the scopes.
whats the address used for nitro currently?
is that all i type in?

Kit Harington (Jon Snow) and Mark Gatiss (Tyco Nestoris) star in new BBC drama, Gunpowder
Game of Thrones has some of the best stars on board, and we see the stars take on other projects, all the time. The latest project stars Kit Harington, who plays the role of Jon Snow on Game of Thrones, and Mark Gatiss, who plays the role of the Iron Banker, Tyco Nestoris, also known for his portrayal of Mycroft Holmes on BBC's Sherlock, on which he was also a showrunner. The two will be seen together in a new BBC miniseries, titled Gunpowder. Read on!
Gunpowder is a three-part drama produced by BBC1, and Thriker Films, Kit's own production company. It will have three parts, and air on BBC One on this fall, in a primetime slot. It will also star, Tom Cullen, Liv Tyler and Peter Mullan.
The drama will be based on the famous 17th century event, known as the 'Gunpowder Plot,', which was a failed assassination attempt on the king of England. Tom Cullen will play Guy Fawkes. Kit will play Robert Catesby. Liv Tyler will play Catesby's cousin Anne Vaux, while Mark Gatiss will play the role of Robert Cecil. The story follows the efforts of Robert Catesby's attempt to assassinate King James I with the help of Guy Fawkes, by trying to blow up the British House of Lords while the King was there. The event is still celebrated as the Guy Fawkes day, on 5th of November. Check out a first look teaser of the show, below :
Interesting fact is that Kit has a connection to the character he plays. Kit's full name is Christopher Catesby Harrington, and Robert Catesby is his maternal ancestor. Looks like this show will be quite a ride, although three parts might be a bit too less for us. What do you think? Talk to us in the comments, down below!

The official page for Radeon Technologies Group on Facebook has posted some new images from their new Radeon RX Vega roadshow, something that's just kicked off in Budapest.
RTG has shown off their new Radeon RX Vega artwork, which is looking incredibly awesome. It features a mean take on the already great looking 'V' logo, but throws in some crystal-like features and much darker reds and blacks blending through each other.
There are plenty of stars also used in the new Vega logo, continuing the space theme from Polaris and Vega marketing. AMD is expected to launch Radeon RX Vega at SIGGRAPH, which is just over a week away from now.

From tasty toes to biting in half, this bear means business when he comes across the rabbit. But unlike other animals Rabbit is not scared.
He has intriguing reasons why the bear should not eat him for his lunch and it works!

The Ice Bear

Jackie Morris's latest book The Ice Bear is newly in print this month with Frances Lincoln.
' When the great bear wakes in her ice den to find that one of her two cubs has been taken, she holds the second close, but she never forgets her lost child.'
Set in the pristine polar regions of the Arctic, this is a beautiful story with illustrations that are just amazingly powerful.
It brings emotions to the surface, and is a reminder of our responsibility to the world's animals and wildlife. Polar bears, for instance, can show us the best ways to use natural resources, even in the wildest of places like the Arctic.
Jackie also has exhibitions across the country. Imagine Gallery at Long Melford in Suffolk is currently holding an exhibition of illustrations including cheetahs and the contemplative White Hare.
In October Dolphin Booksellers are hosting and sponsoring an event in Cambridge with Jackie at Babraham C.of E. Primary School. Young children learning, creating and using illustrations and books to fire imaginations.
You can see Jackie's books and illustrations, plus cards to buy on her website. It's definitely worth a visit.

Two mortar rounds landed in the headquarters compound of the U.S.-led coalition Sunday.
Mortar and rocket attacks on the coalition headquarters are common.
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Two mortar rounds landed in the headquarters compound of the U.S.-led coalition Sunday. A third struck nearby, killing an Iraqi civilian and wounding 10.
People at the headquarters were told to move to bunkers following the explosions but an American official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it was not immediately clear whether there were any casualties in the compound in central Baghdad.
People in the upscale neighborhood of Mansour outside the compound said the mortar rounds damaged cars and several shops. Officials at the nearby Yarmouk Hospital said one civilian was killed and 10 others wounded, including a child and two women.
"This is a terrorist act. There are no military targets in Mansour," said Raed Abdul Saheb, a doctor at the hospital.
Taxi driver Ahmed Khalid described the attack.
Mortar and rocket attacks on the coalition headquarters are common. The assaults often miss and hit nearby neighborhoods.


Does anyone know of a variation on the game for really young girls that makes it more entertaining for them. I'm talking about K-3. The feedback from parents in our rec league (and I have lived through it with my own DD) is that is just painful to watch. Our K-1 girls hit off the tee the first 1/2 of the year, and then coaches pitch from about 20 feet in the second 1/2. My thought is that we would have better retention and attract more young girls if we could offer a game with more movement - something - soccer is big in our town. Any thoughts out there?
1. They choose 5 girls that have to hit the coach pitch, but others continue to get to hit off of the tee.
2. Others allow X amount of pitches by coach, and if girl would strike out she gets 1 more chance using T.
To me the more brutal games to watch are when the girls start pitching. For most leagues that is 10U, and they are just walk fests. Some leagues near me have even gone now to where a player gets 5 pitches from the pitcher, but there are no walks, but there can be strikeouts. So if after the 5 pitches the batter had say 2 strikes she then has the coach pitch to her and she gets 1 strike. If the coach comes out and the girl had 0 strikes, she then gets up to 3 strikes to get a hit off of the coach.
My suggestion is to put a 60 minute time limit on the game. At that age level, the kids learn ZERO at the game. Practices are much more important than the games.
I like the thought of shortening the games - does anyone have a resource for fun skills building drills aimed at the youngest girls?
For the Games or in practice?
Instead of the coach pitching, you could try the coach soft tossing. You might get a few more hits that way. I've never seen it done, but I've used it for practice to get random balls to field.
Tough to compete with soccer for "easy to get started" and "keep them all moving." I coached very young kids in soccer years ago so I have first hand experience with it. Compared to soccer at age 6 or 7, softball is like watching paint dry. The skill level (or more accurately coordination level) required to play softball even with a minimal amount of competence can be beyond most kids that age.
If you have the coach hit the ball and the girls run the bases, that might help. That way you can spread the ball among the fielders so more kids get involved instead of standing around in right field for three innings doing nothing. Doesn't teach all the skills of the game, of course, but it might help them learn the strategies better. And keep them moving better.
After some research, I have discovered a game called BlastBall - designed for girls and boys ages 4-8. (we're going to use it with 5-6). our game plan - we're going to give coaches a program for drills to run prior to games each of the 8 weeks of the season. First 30 minutes - the drills, next 30-45 is BlastBall. it requires small teams and very little space to play - the base 'honks' - yet it lets the girls hit and field and throw. Let's face it - at that age they are not playing real softball anyway - I want to give them an activity that is fun for them, yet teached them the fundamentals of hitting, catching, throwing. Our old way was two 1:45 games an an hour practice each week - guess what got cut first - practice. now they were 'playing softball' for 3.5 hours a week and learning almost nothing. I'm hopeful this change will help attract more young players and keep them in the league until they reach the next level - we'll see.

Blake Austin College Student of the Month: Erica Richards
Blake Austin College is the place for aspiring professionals who are seeking to take control of their future, and their careers.
That makes our campus home to some of the brightest and boldest students, and we are proud to have such motivated people in our programs. It is our pleasure to acknowledge Erica Richards as the Student of the Month at the Blake Austin Beauty College for the month of April!
If there is one thing that Erica is passionate about, it's making people feel good. She is already a licensed esthetician and is on her way to adding "licensed cosmetologist" to her list of accolades.
Cosmetology is the perfect career for someone who loves meeting new people, and helping them to feel confident and refreshed.
"I enjoy every aspect of the program," said Erica. "It challenges and motivates me to actualize my fullest potential."
At Blake Austin Beauty College, students are encouraged to explore their interests and foster the passions that develop during their time in the program. While Erica said that she couldn't pinpoint only one particular interest right now, her favorite thing during her training to do is to practice a lot because she was so intrigued by every unit.
"Anything where I can utilize my creativity is my favorite thing," said Erica, adding that she never does the same "look" twice. "I feel it will lose its integrity. Hair styling, cutting, coloring is a form of art and should be treated as such," she says.
Though she couldn't say for sure what her favorite part about her program is, she did mention one of the more memorable projects.
"I really enjoyed the fashion show! It was so much fun working with fellow students and letting our creativity flow!" Erica shares.
Why Erica Chose Blake Austin College
Erica is dedicated to pushing herself to her full potential, and naturally she wanted to attend a school that is equally as dedicated to student success.
"We're all designed to be great in our own likeness. We can gather knowledge from peers and educators, and yet it's our responsibility to walk in our own greatness." Erica said.
"Blake Austin is a beautiful school with great educators and mentors," Erica says, further explaining, "We are truly blessed to have a great learning environment to thrive in. I'm in the business of making people feel beautiful about themselves and that is what Blake Austin has helped me to do."
Erica said that learning how to better her customer service has also been a redeeming feature of Blake Austin Beauty College.
"I will always give my best efforts, from my customer service to the finishing touches!" said Erica. "I will love on your hair, skin, and nails up until we finalize your transaction, because I care about my client and my brand that much." Adding, Erica loves how much she has gained as a strong sense of confidence from her education.
Erica is scheduled to graduate from Blake Austin Beauty College in July of 2016, and has plans to work in a full service salon, to continue to grow her skills and her business.
"Ideally, I would like to own my own salon and spa one day," Erica said, "which is something that Blake Austin has prepared me to do."

Higashitateishi Nursery School
Aisaka Architects' Atelier
This nursery school is located in a dense urban neighborhood in Tokyo's Katsushika ward. A run-down public nursery school was being rebuilt and transferred to private ownership, and a competition was held to select an architect.
We submitted a proposal in collaboration with a company applying to take over management. The competition required that the design take into consideration the school's history and environment as well as the complex needs of contemporary society. Our winning proposal met these requirements while also containing four overlapping functions that ensure the facility will continue to be loved and used by the community for many years to come: it is a "house" where children can play freely in a setting their instructors and families know is safe; a "park" where all students can move their bodies and develop their minds; a "school" where they can learn to appreciate the value of life and food; and a "fort" to protect the community during flooding of the nearby raised-bed river and other disasters.
The reinforced concrete structure is comprised of flat concrete slabs and radial wall pillars that can withstand water pressure. The ten-meter-high building has three floors, with most of the classrooms on the second floor, 3.7 meters above ground level, to withstand flooding. To ensure privacy and buffer noise in the dense residential neighborhood, as well as for ease of maintenance, the exterior of the building is closed off on three sides and surrounds a courtyard. The fourth side of the C-shaped building opens toward an adjacent park. The façade is divided into sections that match the scale of the surrounding buildings. On the north side, the first floor is set back from the narrow road that runs in front of the building, widening the street and thereby avoiding the risk of congestion and accidents during the morning and evening rush of bicycles and cars stopped for drop-off and pickup.
Campus Großhadern
The design incorporates multiple circulation routes, including some that loop through the entire building to keep children engaged during ordinary playtime, and others for emergency use that move vertically, with people going down in fires and up in flood disasters to ensure safe evacuation. In particular, the spiraling ramp that extends all the way to the roof and the wide staircase create room for emergency storage space and ceiling heights adjusted according to age, while on the second floor, tiered seating can accommodate 200 to 300 people during emergencies, including the school's 165 students as well as staff and community members waiting for help to arrive.
Designing a building that is disaster-proof but also a fun place to play, open to the community via the adjacent park but also respectful of the neighborhood and streetscapes, and yet which does not making its users constantly aware it is performing these diverse roles felt a bit like solving a multivariate equation with enormous variables. In addition, we strived to achieve balance in the forms and colors of the design, flexibility to ensure the building can respond to disasters as well as long-term societal changes, and an appearance that is appropriate for a nursery school without being overly childish—that is, a facility that combines quality and strength.

Of Leadership And Burdens
Jackson Janes
Editor's Note: This piece is part of a full report, "Reassessing 1989," which looks at the major events of that year, including the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Tiananmen Square protests, and the breakup of Yugoslavia.
In evaluating history, T. S. Eliot reminded us that human beings often "had the experience but missed the meaning." In efforts to make sense of our past, we look for patterns to wrap around the path of experiences. Yet we – both individuals and states – find ourselves continually confronted by new experiences that challenge our assumptions and require us to reassess the meanings we have settled on. During the last three decades, debates over the narrative and rationale of U.S. global leadership has illustrated this struggle. And given where we stand 30 years after we thought we had ended history, one must ask what meanings did we miss in our experiences?
In many ways, this U.S. vision echoed the post-1949 view of a world, in which the rebuilding of security and prosperity was dependent on the leadership of the United States. Because that strategy had worked reasonably well for those under the U.S. umbrella during the previous four decades, it would certainly work again. But there was a crucial difference in the two periods. Those who crafted the strategies in the late forties were burdened by the specter of catastrophe, and driven to prevent another. The post-Cold War environment, however, was accompanied by a greater hubris. This time it was believed that the world could really be made safe for democracy.
This was the meaning we drew from 1989, but almost immediately new events collided with the story. In the wake of the disintegration of Yugoslavia, the return of war to the European continent in the Balkans was one of many red flags pointing at the fact that the melting of Cold War ice sheets could uncovered the fires of nationalist entities. The brutal suppression of human rights demonstrations in the streets of Beijing in the Spring of 1989 should have also reminded us that a convergence of values among nations was not self-evident. The turmoil in Afghanistan did not subside after Soviet troops left, but continued to simmer until it boiled over a decade later in the attacks of Al-Quaeda in Africa – and then on 9/11. Regional conflicts continued, financial insecurities erupted, inequalities deepened and the bonds of alliances were strained over the Iraq war.
What Price Can We Pay Today?
The post-1989 framework with which we approached the dramatic changes unfolding drew on some of the lessons of the Second World War, that of an expansive global presence to help secure peace and anchor democracy. It was a vision of U.S. leadership, as captured in John F. Kennedy's inaugural address: "we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty."
The U.S. consensus around that mission had been largely supported by the strategic community, the experts and scholars who advised them, and the public at large. Fear of nuclear war and communist threats further strengthened resolve. And it all fit into the larger selfperception of the United States as the source and guardian of global peace and prosperity.
Of course, the peace guardian made many mistakes along the way. The war in Vietnam, a failed military intervention in Cuba, the support of dictators in South America and in the Middle East. And then came the invasion of Iraq and the war in Afghanistan, which has become the longest war in U.S. history.
Americans increasingly came to question whether they should, and whether they could, bear these burdens, as the hubris of the first post- Cold War decade began to fade. Building schools in Kabul seemed less urgent than repairing bridges at home.
Thus the United States today is struggling with another iteration of a long-standing debate over how it should exert global leadership, project its power, and exercise its responsibilities at home and abroad.
On one side of that debate are those who wish to limit capabilities and put "America first." The election of Donald Trump was evidence that a large number of Americans have ambivalent feelings about the global role of the United States and international entanglements. As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently stated in Brussels "Our mission is to reassert our sovereignty, reform the liberal international order, and we want our friends to help us and to exert their sovereignty as well."
The other vision holds that the United States is and should remain the leading force for global stability and security while working with the multinational framework of cooperation and consensus within its partners. This system, and U.S. leadership within it, is still the best chance to prevent the breakdowns of the global system which roiled the first half of the twentieth century.
Yet arguing simply over how much or how little we need to do is missing the meaning of the moment we face today. The United States is confronted with an environment unlike that of seventy years ago or thirty years ago. It is not the sole globally dominant economy, nor uncontested on the world stage, nor is it capable of achieving a globalized liberal order. Moreover political polarization at home is undermining its capacity to develop a consensus for new strategies to confront these challenges.
Americans need to decide how, when, and where they can respond at home and within their alliances. The answers may be uncomfortable, unsettling, or even uncertain; they certainly will not be easy. In 1947 George Kennan described this challenge with these words: "The bitter truth in this world is that you cannot even do good today unless you are prepared to exert your share of power, to take your share responsibility, to make your share of mistakes and to assume your share of risks."
Seven decades later, that is a still much needed message. While the questions we confront today may appear similar to those of yesterday, the answers will be shaped by the new moments and meanings we recognize today and tomorrow, perhaps with a greater portion of humility than hubris.

Class of 2020 web-series review, trailer, star cast and story
Deepannita Chakraborty
Here is a short review of the web-series original, "Class of 2020".
Produced by: Lost Boy Productions
Lead actors: Rohan Mehra, Chetna Pande
Release Date: Not disclosed
Class of 2020 Release date
Another sequel web-series in ALT Balaji is the sequel of "Class of 2017" from Lost Boy production. Still its release date has not been disclosed yet from the production house.
About the web-series Class of 2020
So from the title, it can be guessed that this web-series will be revolving around the classroom drama of students of 2020 batch. As it is a teenage story, this web series will focus on their mindset, perspective, daily life, and friendship. Also, there will be a teenage crush and love concept in this web series. As this is the sequel to the web series class of 2017, it will also be directed by Vikas Gupta.
Since the previous season showed the problems faced by a group of friends in the same class during the year 2017. Basically it will be a youth show, which will showcase the change in the mindset of the student. Also, the entry of new feelings during this time of their age is alien to them. So how they adjust to this changing state of their age from teenage to youth is hard to cope with. Though ALT Balaji has released the list of web-series it will feature this year, the date has not been decided yet.
Class of 2020 trailer
Still, there is no information regarding the release of the trailer for this web-series. But here is the official trailer of its prequel that is class of 2017.
Class of 2020 review
So let's wait for the trailer of class of 2020 to know about further details. Mostly it will be funny, entertainer and some times serious as the students of 2020 tackle their teenage problems in their way. So the friends' group consists of 6 members. As it is a sequel to the web-series class of 2017, the concept will be similar to it. But the characters are different this season. But still, there is no perfect information regarding the characters of this season. As it will be a youth-based show, it will be having fun, Masti, Hungama and some serious moments with lots of friendship.
Casts of Class of 2020
So it was disclosed still now that Rohan Mehra of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai fame and Chetna Pande will be playing the lead roles. While the supporting characters as their friends will be played by Jatin Suri of Nimki Mukhiya fame. Also, there is Isha Chawlaa, Zoya Chatterjee and Shivam Babbar in pivotal roles of being their friend's circle. Some other characters will also be included in this series but the details about them have not been disclosed yet.
Class of 2020 Verdict
Mostly it will be a good entertainer for the youth and those who have recently crossed this phase of their life. Thus it will be like a flashback of their school days which anyone will be cherished for a lifetime. Getting good friends in school life and enjoying those days will be the most precious possession of anyone's life. So let's try to see our flashbacks with the perspective of the class of 2020 friends.

The Post Desk Editor Bags Master's Degree With Distinction
by Atlantic Chronicles November 16, 2020
written by Atlantic Chronicles November 16, 2020
By Neville Mesumbe
The Desk Editor of The Post, Isidore Abah, has been awarded a Grade of Excellence after his brilliant public defence presentation for the award of a Master of Science Degree in Journalism.
The defence took place on Friday, November 13, at the Boardroom of the Faculty of Social and Management Sciences in the University of Buea.
The candidate investigated the role of Facebook propaganda in conflict escalation, case of the Cameroon Anglophone Crisis.
The researcher argues that in this contemporary era of information superhighway, the audience is laden by loads and loads of information. During such period of information hysteria, Abah stresses that most people are not able to distinguish between false and authentic information.
"If the citizens are not well educated on what constitutes propaganda, types of propaganda, techniques of propaganda and how propaganda manifests itself, many will continue to consume propagandists' messages as news and may become conveyors of propagandists' ideologies and agendas without knowing, given that studies have shown a direct correlation between media consumption and audience behaviour, " Abah said.
He further mentioned that the consumption of Facebook messages has the tendency to escalate or deescalate a conflict, depending on whether the information is against the audience's beliefs or pre-conceived values and ideologies.
The researcher's empirical thought aligns with reality. In January 2017, the Government shutdown the internet in the Northwest and Southwest Regions of Cameroon for 93 days, because of the negative role played by social media platforms, notably; Facebook, WhatsApp, in fanning the flames of the Anglophone Crisis.
The researcher content-analysed the Facebook walls and pages of eight propagandists in the Cameroon Anglophone Crisis. The eight activists included four pro-Government: Frankline Njume, Suzzy Sparks, Epanty Epanti Vally, Ma Kontri Pipo Dem (MKPD) and four Separatists: Mark Bareta, Tapang Ivo, Chris Anu, and Eric Tataw.
Abah discovered that there is a direct relationship between activists' online messages and offline demonstrations. He stressed that most of the offline demonstrations, protests, killings, burnings, kidnappings, and school boycotts had their roots online.
According to the author, individuals consumed propaganda messages online and went offline to implement the messages.
To mitigate the negative influence of Facebook on the Cameroon Anglophone Crisis, the author stated that there is an urgent need for the population to be sensitised and educated on the elements that constitute a news article and how news can be differentiated from propaganda.
He urged the Minister of Communication to organise seminars to train the population on media literacy.
This, he said, will enable the population to be able to identify what a news article and a propaganda piece is when they come across it.
He also beseeched journalism training institutions like the Department of Journamlism and Mass Communication in the University of Buea, the Advanced School of Mass Communication, ASMAC, Siantou University, the National Polytehnic Bambui and the University of Bamenda to embark on outreach programmes to educate the communities on what constitutes news and propaganda.
Like he puts it, "the jobs of journalists are under threats because the profession has been invaded and hijacked by quacks. This posses a serious problem not only to media credibility but also journalism practice as a whole."
He equally urged all owners of conventional media organs to embrace the social media as the new communication order and have an active social media presence, especially Facebook pages, where the population can turn to for authentic and variable news.
Speaking to The Guardian Post after his brilliant defence, Abah praised his Supervisor, Dr. Kingsley Ngange, for his altruistic contribution towards the realsation of prejoct.
"I am indebted to my Supervisor, Dr Ngange, for his immense contribution to the realisation of this academic piece. He, once again, exhibited his shrewd academic savoir faire and his proficiency in the subject matter of his research. He was not only a Supervisor, but a father, an acadmic mentor, and a friend, who was always ready to listen to my corncerns and challenges. Even at the zenith of the COVID-19 pandemic, where every body was a suspect, Dr. Ngange and his family opened their doors to me. I have never seen such academic humility and hospitality. I am indeed grateful," Abah avered.
He also thanked the two Associates Professors who manned his defence panel, Victor Ngu Choe as Chairperson and Julius Che Tita as Examiner for their valuable contributions to make the academic piece better.
"They two Associate Professors were simply phenomenal, Abah stated" Isidore Abah is just of the 17 Masters in Journalsim and Mass Communication candidates that defended their desertations in the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, University Buea from November 10 to 13, 2020.

Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats at the Jazz Aspen Labor Day Experience in 2017.
When: Saturday, Dec. 15 & Sunday, Dec. 16, 8 p.m.
Anybody who has seen Nathaniel Rateliff live knows that the Night Sweats bandleader never disappoints.
A rare exception came in August, when the Denver-based band canceled a sold-out show at Belly Up at the last minute on doctor's orders. Rateliff was sick. But local fans rejoiced this fall when the Denver-based neo-soul band announced they would be making up the cancellation with a weekend-long run at the club with concerts on Saturday and Sunday.
The shows continue a run of local sell-outs for Rateliff going back to 2015, when his powerhouse band's infectious breakout hit "S.O.B." made them what seemed like an overnight success. But it had been a long road for Rateliff since he moved to Denver in the late 1990s as he honed his sound, songwriting and stagecraft in relative obscurity while playing shows — solo and with pre-Night Sweats bands — around Colorado and at Belly Up.
Along with a fevered fan-base in Colorado, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats have ascended to the stratosphere of rock stardom. This year, since releasing their second full-length album "Tearing at the Seams" in March, the band has been selling out theaters in cities in every region of the U.S. They've seen the songs "You Worry Me" and "A Little Honey" top the national charts. Last week the band was playing "Hey Mama" on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," which followed recent TV performances on "Late Night with Seth Myers" and the PBS "Newshour" — the band even got written into an episode of "NCIS: New Orleans" as guest stars, playing two songs (and landing a speaking part for Rateliff).
Now they're home for the holidays for a string of Colorado shows including stops in Breckenridge, Vail and at their annual holiday concerts at the Ogden Theatre in Denver.
As the band's star has risen, Rateliff has begun giving back to Colorado through his Marigold Foundation, founded last year, which focuses on economic and social-justice issues.
Rateliff, a burly and bearded stage presence, gives his charismatic all in sweat-soaked performances — soft-shoeing and singing and smashing tambourines, leading sing-alongs. He's paired the Night Sweats' onstage mission to become one of the great live bands in America with off-stage commitment to giving back in a way that extends beyond the occasional benefit concert.
For example, when the Night Sweats released the video for "A Little Honey" this fall, they paired it with the launch of a small-batch chocolate to benefit Marigold. In October, Rateliff and his nonprofit hosted the "Not One More Gun" rally and concert to end gun violence, which coincided with two days of workshops, panels and training sessions aimed at organizing young Coloradans in the fight for gun control.


"Mommy, where did the moon go?" My daughter asked on our morning walk to her older brother's kindergarten class.
Her furrowed brows relaxed as she nodded her head. My response was adequate … for the time being.
Later that evening, I received a phone call from my husband while I was preparing dinner.
I dished up the meal for my three young children but had lost my appetite. We were a single income family. I had quit my job in order to be home. What were we going to do?
"Where are you, God?" I questioned, tears streaming down my cheeks.
Like an instant download in my mind, I recalled a Psalm I had recently read. In verse one, the Psalmist (most likely King David) cried out to God.
This was exactly how I felt. But then I remembered there seemed to be a change of heart and attitude by the end of the Psalm. In fact, I had noticed this pattern in many of the Psalms.
What had changed Psalmist's mind? I wondered.
Just like the moon, He was still there even though I couldn't see Him or even "feel" Him.
The real question was, would I choose to trust Him in this difficult season as I had in the good ones?
It's been years since that day when the Father laid a firm foundation of trust in my life. He spoke to me through His Word and through my little girl. Like the expert Builder, He has continued His "faith building" project within me. Of course, I have found myself in a number of difficult seasons and situations, crying out to God in despair only to default to the core truth of the foundation He has built upon as I have grown in my relationship with Him.
The Lord is near. As close as my very breath. And He will never leave.
Almighty Father, thank you for consistently teaching me that You are trustworthy and are always near. I know I still need work in the area of trusting You even when I can't "feel" You. Help me to rest in Your perfect will today.
I'd love to hear your thoughts or prayer requests in the comments below.
So so good Beckie! He is so faithful and so good! I am thankful to be on this faith-building journey alongside you.
Eve, Amen and Amen! We serve a good God. I too, am grateful to have friends like you to spur me on in this journey.
Beckie, this so resounds with the plights of those impacted by the recent government shutdown. Danny worked for EPA for 27 years, and was affected temporarily by those shutdowns in the past, but he always made sure in all those pay periods to set aside funds in case of emergency. Sadly, that can't be said for all who are now doing without, although the Congress has already guaranteed their back pay, and they can go to their credit unions for a loan to float them through.
In times of trial and trouble, only the Lord will truly see us through. I can only imagine the fear and trepidation you felt after receiving that phone call from your husband so many years ago, but you chose to lean on God instead of falling apart at the seams.
My son-in-law, John, is currently out of work, but not due to the shutdown. I would so appreciate your prayers for him, my daughter, Sarah, and for the grands. Thank you, blessed friend!
Martha, thanks for reminding us to pray for those who have been impacted by the recent government shutdown. It is my honor to pray for John, Sarah, and their family.
Lord Jesus, I lift up this sweet family to Your care. I pray for the peace that surpasses all understanding to guard their hearts and minds as they wait for the right job for John. I ask, Lord that a job comes soon.
Beckie — all I can say is that God is faithful- even when we can't see.
Del, Amen! And I am so very grateful.
Beckie, thank you for sharing this wonderful post.
I have been struggling these last few weeks dealing with some major issues in my life, Then somewhere around 3 am this morning I came to a point that I just wanted to quit/give up.
I couldn't stop crying and as I cried out to God I felt that I needed to PM'd a friend from a church that I attend online. Not that I expected him to respond with an answer or solution, but simply because I have made a promise that I would make a connection when I feel so hopeless in life.
All day today I have been basically holding my breath, fighting the urge to just toss everything to the curb and call it quits. Not sure how or why anything of this life will work out.
Tonight was the first night of my online church's first annual conference – I logged in and received some encouragement – a ray of hope in the darkness.
Then I checked my email and found your blog email in my inbox. As I read this it reminded me that it is true… I can trust God. He is still there even when the darkness surrounds me and I can't feel Him in the room. So thank you for this encouragement and insight.
Castle, I'm so sorry to hear it's been such a hard period in your life. Thank you for sharing. What a blessing to hear that you received encouragement from your online church and this post.
Lord Jesus, we thank you for how You speak through Your people. I pray You will continue to bring hope and encouragement to this dear sister. May she feel wrapped in Your loving presence even now. I push back the enemy who lies and steals our joy. Continue to show Castle your faithfulness in tangible ways, Lord.
Amen Ms. Beckie! When God doesn't seem to respond to me when I ask this, I immediately start looking inward to see what in my life is not allowing His light to shine in my life. He's always there, I just block my view too often.
J.D. Looking inward when we feel God is not with us is a great place to start. Sin has a way of creeping in and blocking our ears to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Thanks for reminding us of that.
Such a powerful analogy, Beckie. We've been in the same situation before. And I love how David is so vulnerable and honest with His cries to God.
So thankful God doesn't change in His faithfulness even when our circumstances haven't changed. Yes, He never leaves us.
This is a powerful story, Beckie! It's so hard to see past a trial when we're hit in the face with devastating news or difficulty! I struggle in the moment … then I look back and see His faithfulness …. and many times I remember that when another problem arises, but, sometimes …. i doubt still. He offers me new mercies, thankfully, when I fail, and I try to do better the next time!
I'm so grateful for His love and patience. Journaling has helped me a ton.
Such a beautiful story of God's faithfulness, Beckie. Isn't it amazing how He sends messages through our children to us? Your daughter's great question and your thoughtful response provided the seed to strengthen your faith that night when you most needed God's assurance. Thank you for sharing this wonderful and inspiring story. Wishing you a blessed week-end.

F1 2021 Stats , Feature , Formula 1
The Best Statistics And Numbers From The 2021 F1 Season
Posted on December 23, 2021 | by Nicky Haldenby
From a first-time champion to a wealth of podium finishers and record-breaking attendance figures, it has been quite the year for F1. Here are some of the wildest stats and numbers from the crazy 2021 season!
Let's take a look!
MOST DIFFERENT WINNERS IN A SEASON SINCE 2012
Six different drivers won a race in 2021, with World Champion Max Verstappen taking the most with ten victories. This year's only other repeat winner was Lewis Hamilton, scoring eight victories. Sergio Perez, Esteban Ocon, Daniel Ricciardo and Valtteri Bottas each took a single win.
NEW RECORD FOR THE MOST RED-FLAGGED RACES IN A SEASON
There were six red-flagged races this year. Nine races have featured a red flag period in the past two seasons – that's more than in the previous eight seasons combined!
VERSTAPPEN MAKES PODIUM HISTORY
Max Verstappen set a new record for most podium finishes in a single year, taking his 18th top-three finish of the season at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Verstappen finished first or second at every race this year aside from four: his three retirements (in Azerbaijan, Britain and Italy) and his 9th place finish in Hungary.
Winning every race of the first triple-header of the season, Max Verstappen also became the first driver in F1 history to record three Grand Prix wins in the space of just 15 days when he won the French, Styrian and Austrian Grands Prix from pole position.
THE MOST ATTENDED F1 RACE EVER
An estimated 400,000 fans were in attendance over the 2021 United States Grand Prix weekend. It's F1's highest-ever weekend attendance figure!
THIRTEEN DIFFERENT PODIUM FINISHERS
For the second year in a row, thirteen different drivers finished on the podium. The last season to have more podium finishers than that was 2008 when fourteen different drivers finished in the top three.
VERSTAPPEN AND HAMILTON LOVE A 1-2 RESULT
Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton finished first and second at fourteen races this year. It's a new record for most 1-2 results shared by two drivers in a single year. Another two 1-2 results next year will see Hamilton and Verstappen equal Hamilton and Nico Rosberg as the pair of drivers with the most 1-2 results in F1 history.
HAMILTON GOT THE LARGEST WINNING MARGIN IN OVER A DECADE
Nine of this year's 22 races were won by a margin of less than five seconds. The largest win margin was at the Russian Grand Prix, where Hamilton won in the damp conditions, finishing over 53 seconds ahead of Verstappen – the biggest winning margin in 13 years.
CARLOS SAINZ 🤝 FINISHING RACES IN 2021
Carlos Sainz finished every race in the 2021 season. It's only the tenth time this feat has been achieved! Sainz also came close to scoring at every race. The only times he failed to score were with eleventh place finishes in Portugal and France. Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris were the only other drivers to score at 20 races this year.
MERCEDES MAKE Q3 AT EVERY SINGLE RACE THIS YEAR
Mercedes set a new record for most Q3 appearances in a single year, with both Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas reaching Q3 at all 22 races this season. The Silver Arrows have now reached Q3 with both cars at all of the last 70 Grand Prix weekends.
117,000 KM DISTANCE COVERED
Between them, the teams covered a distance of 117,000km in races this year. McLaren covered the furthest distance (12,368km) and completed the most laps (2,490).
VERSTAPPEN ENDS 30 YEAR HONDA WAIT
Max Verstappen became the first driver to win the Drivers' Championship in a Honda-powered car in 30 years. Ayrton Senna was the last driver to do so with McLaren in 1991.
BYE BYE BOTTAS 👋
Valtteri Bottas recorded his 101st and final start with Mercedes at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. He qualified in the top ten at all of those races, becoming only the third driver – after Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna – to qualify in the top ten at 100 consecutive races.
KIMI RECORDED HIS LAST F1 START
Kimi Raikkonen recorded his 349th, and final Grand Prix start in Abu Dhabi. Fernando Alonso will likely break his record number of starts next year. Alonso is on track to start his 350th race at the 2022 Italian Grand Prix 👀

Here Are Some Of The Best Statistics From Today's Turkish Grand Prix Qualifying


There has been a surge of bicycle thefts in the greater Naas area, prompting a warning from the gardai.
In recent weeks up to eight bikes were taken - including three from the rail station in Sallins. Up to yesterday five bikes were reported stolen to Naas gardai so ar this month.
And there were all locked.
"In fact all of the bikes had the locks cut, so this is something that's being planned. In one case the bicycle was valued at €800 and in another it will cost at least €700 to replace it," a garda representative said.
One was stolen near the school in Kill and another at the recently opened Monread Fare centre , off Monread Road in Naas.


My best office accessory at the moment!
I can't open the windows in my office and the ventilation is not adjustable.
I use the fan to cool myself down after having rode the bike to work or after I've been running around in the factory trying to get things to work properly. It's priceless to be able and cool down to stop the immense sweating!… yeah!
For 69SEK (~$10) at Teknikmagasinet it's a dirt cheap way to make my working day more comfortable!
It's very nice now when the air here is hot and damp, very high humidity makes it heavy to breathe. The first few days after the vacation ended it poured down outside, timing!

Sharing scientific knowledge!
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Katja Windt, Dean Prof. Arvid Kappas, Hashem Al-Ghaili, Prof. Randy Schekman, Prof. Gerardus Meijer, Prof. Andrea Koschinsky, Dr. Bernd Pulverer
Nobel Prize winner Randy Schekman didn't mince his words. He spoke of "deluxe journals" that should be boycotted, saying that key scientific results were often published in only a handful of journals in spite of digitization. At the same time, doubt was increasingly being cast on scientific findings in the area of, for example, climate research, he said. How can the world of science communicate its work more credibly and make it available to a wide audience? This was the topic of discussion among well-known scientists at Jacobs University on the eve of the 2017 graduation ceremony.
Print magazines select and only publish a handful of articles, argued Schekman, questioning the criteria based upon which this happens. These criteria often make no sense, with cases of bribery even having been documented, he said. This "exclusive club" that controls and limits the publication of scientific results needs to be combated, Schekman emphasized. The scientist, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2013, is also editor in chief of the digital science journal eLife.
Prof. Gerard Meijer, director of the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science, likewise spoke out in favor of free access to scientific results, arguing that scientists had handed too much of publishing over to commercially driven publishing companies. Only 15 percent of scientific publications in the Netherlands were freely accessible, when it should actually be 100 percent, said Meijer.
"The system has to change," stated Dr. Bernd Pulverer, chief editor of the EMBO Journal, for example with new forms of publishing being tried out. One individual who is already doing this is Jacobs alumni and social media expert Hashem Al-Ghaili, who held a mirror up to the scientists. "People aren't interested in abstract results. What they want to know is: does this affect me? And they want authentic sources." It is down to the world of science itself to generate publicity and win people's trust, added Prof. Andrea Koschinsky-Fritsche of Jacobs University. "The transfer of knowledge is an important task."
Event with Nobel Prize winner Randy Schekman: Mind the gap
Here is a summary of the event.
