700 Survival Part Two
"Do you know any nice people? Y'know, normal everyday people, not power-crazed nutters trying to take over the universe?"
EPISODE: Survival Part Two
TRANSMITTED: Wednesday 29 November 1989
WRITER: Rona Munro
DIRECTOR: Alan Wareing
SCRIPT EDITOR: Andrew Cartmel
PRODUCER: John Nathan-Turner
RATINGS: 4.8 million viewers
FORMAT: DVD: Doctor Who - Survival
The Doctor & Patterson escape on horseback and find Ace & her friends. The Master sends one of the Kittlings to find the Doctor as he struggles to maintain control of himself. The Kitling on Earth brings a Milkman to their planet which is attacked by the Cheetah people provoking battle between them and the humans causing Ace to be separated from the Doctor. The Doctor & Master meet as the Doctor realises the planet is heading for destruction. The Master needs his help and explains that if they stay there they'll become more like the Cheetah people. His eyes glow yellow and he bares fangs at the Doctor. Ace helps an injured member of the Cheetah People bringing her some water. The Doctor finds them and they decide to look after the creature. The Doctor tells her they need an animal who's home is Earth to get back there. Patterson gathers the surviving human youths together to try to survive. Ace starts to feel like she belongs on the alien world. They find the humans but Midge has begun to transform into one of the Cheetah people and runs away. The Master catches him and uses Mitch to return to Earth.The Doctor explains that one of them must change to return to Earth as Ace's eyes becomes cat like and she begins to change too.....
Good stuff again this episode, almost entirely confined to the alien world with the alien race, how they work and the planet's difficulties being laid out clearly before us. Patterson's philosophy is to survive but the Doctor is thinking beyond that, how to get home, and there's indications quite early on that he thinks Ace may be changing and represents a possible route back home.
A big hurrah for Anthony Ainley returning as The Master for the first time in three years for his first appearance against the Seventh Doctor. He's the only member of the Survival Cast to have been in Doctor Who before or since, but Lisa Bowerman, as Karra the horse riding Cheetah Person we've seen, later found Doctor Who fame voicing the Seventh Doctor's companion Bernice Summerfield. Bernice was introduced in the novels and later starred in a series of audio stories for Big Finish. Outside of Doctor Who she's best known for playing paramedic Sandra Mute in Casualty (partnered with The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood's Robert Pugh) where in 1987 she became the first regular character in that series to die.
The spot the Milkman is taken from is Medway Drive in Perivale, close to the other Perivale locations..... and looking at the map on the linked page I've just realised I've driven past these locations loads of times on the A40 journeying out towards Aylesbury (and the Logopolis lay-by location)! Meanwhile the location for the Cheetah People planet is Warmwell Quarry in Dorset, used the previous year during Greatest Show in the Galaxy and close to locations used this year for Curse of Fenric & Ghost Light. Quarries used in Caves of Androzani, Death to the Daleks & Destiny of the Daleks are all close by.
This is, if you count the cancelled story Shada, the 700th Doctor Who episode. It's also the penultimate episode of the original run of Doctor Who. Join us tomorrow to find out how it all ended and what happened next.....

ESTHER SWIFT and ROBYN JOHNSON. February 6th. Admission £7 ( or weekend ticket of £14 to include Sally Barker). Doors at 8.00pm.
Scottish harpist,Esther Swift, once again heads south of Hadrian's Wall to perform at The Queens Head. Described as 'like Debussy making fairy chains with Fairport Convention', Esther's music weaves an undeniable spell with her own compositions perfectly complimented by a shrewd choice of traditional material.
Frequently collaborating with vocalists in her native Scotland, Esther is again performing with our very own Robyn Johnson who continues to attract a wider audience not only through the originality of her song writing but also through the astonishing range and maturity of her vocal performances.
As this weekend also sees the return of Sally Barker on Friday February 5th, concessionary tickets of £14 for both nights are available at the venue or by contacting mjones572@hotmail.co.uk.
Could be the perfect weekend to relieve what looks set to be a bleak and soggy February.
SALLY BARKER + Support. February 5th. £10. Doors at 8.00pm.
Sally Barker returns to The Queens Head on Friday February 5th. Since her last visit , Sally has of course featured on BBC 1's The Voice, toured with The Poozies with whom she is currently performing in Australia and shared vocal duties in a reformed Fotheringay. Sally is for my money one of the very few vocalists fit to step into the shoes of the great Sandy Denny. Interestingly, one of the others has also graced the stage at The Top Bar.
This promises to be an intriguing weekend with Scottish harpist, Esther Swift returning on Saturday February 6th. A firm favourite with Belper audiences, her music has been described as like 'Debussy making daisy chains with Fairport Convention'. Clearly original then ! On this occasion she will be supported by our own Robyn Johnson.

We often say we just don't have time for doing certain things or marvel when someone else appears to get a lot more done in 24 hours than we could ever imagine possible. Yet we have a lot more spare time than we think we do (or time we could "rescue" from elsewhere like watching television or gawping at our phones) we just need to pay more attention to the way we use it.
I cram little snippets of blogging time in and around my daily routine; I stick to a rigorous editorial calendar that helps me map out content months in advance (but gives me the flexibility to switch things around with ease); I make a note of every little idea I have, however small or insignificant; I meticulously plan posts while writing and photographing content in bulk. I have found a blogging process that works for me and I stick to it.
If you struggle to fit blogging into daily life, here are some ways to make things easier.
We do the things we make time for. Block off sections of time for blogging in your calendar.
Set a reminder and get into the habit of blogging on set days during specific hours.
One little idea can spark a million others - make a note of all your ideas.
However small or insignificant a thought seems, it can be the thread that leads to bigger ideas.
Save time by taking photographs in bulk and writing multiple posts in one sitting.
Get used to pushing yourself; don't waste time by waiting for inspiration to find you.
Read through your notes, brainstorm ideas, work on rough drafts.
Build a blogging routine that works for you and stick to it.
Manage your time effectively to be efficient and stay productive.
An editorial calendar helps provide a structure for blogging and allows an overview of content.
Planning ahead gives you more room to play with and prepare content.
Get into the habit of stockpiling ideas, writing up posts in bulk, and scheduling content.
Scheduling content helps you feel more in control and under less pressure.
Hand over some of the responsibility for the production of content by inviting other bloggers to guest post.
Don't feel pressured into posting every day. Do whatever feels right.

Support for six storey office next to Cambridge station
Posted by Sebastian Conway-Jarrett | Apr 27, 2021 | Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, Development, Eastern Echo, News, Office, Plan, Residential | 0 |
Lockton House, a six-storey 1960s office building in Cambridge, is a step closer to being demolished and replaced, despite opposition from 40 households.
The building is in a residential area, and its demolition has been backed by Cambridge City Council's Planning Committee.
The application for the redevelopment was submitted by Prudential UK Real Estate Limited Partnership & Wrenbridge, for the site just off Clarendon Road near to the railway line and Hills Road, where they plan to demolish Lockton House as well as a 2-storey office building at 1-2 Brooklands Avenue, which forms part of a Victorian terrace.
The plans see the buildings replaced by two new buildings ranging from two to five storeys and will feature underground parking, central gardens, and a café, making the footprint of the building approximately three times the size to nearly double the number of workers.
The new buildings will have terraces set across different levels, with some setback areas, attempting to reduce the impact on nearby residents.
At the council's committee meeting on April 21, four councillors voted to approve the development, with two abstaining and one voting against.
Many residents are not happy with the council's vote, concerned about the impacts on nearby homes, how the new building will fit into the surrounding area, and the risk taken in demolishing a part of a Victorian terrace.
Final planning permission will not be decided until it is confirmed that no environmental impact assessment is needed, and other development conditions are decided.

'We tailored our script to accommodate the star status of Vijay Sethupathi'
...says director Delhi Prasad Deenadayalan, who made his debut with the recent Vijay Sethupathi-starrer, Tughlaq Durbar, that has come in for positive reception
Published: 27th September 2021 08:17 AM | Last Updated: 27th September 2021 08:17 AM | A+A A-
Vijay Sethupathi
By Avinash Ramachandran
It isn't easy making a political film anywhere. There's always the possibility that offence could be taken by the powers that be. And then, there's the potential criticism from the audiences. If the film isn't edgy enough, it gets tagged as weak, and if the film is too biting, there's the chance that it could be perceived to be a threat. So, these films need to have a certain special quality to, well, be 'safe'. With Tughlaq Durbar, debutant director Delhi Prasad Deenadayalan does this by using politics only as a crux with which to mount a fantasy drama that has the quintessential good vs evil debate at its centre.
"It is a totally fictional story, and as we were dealing with the good-bad dichotomy, we felt that the theme would naturally lend itself to mass appeal," says the director. But despite extra care being taken to avoid touching upon real-life politicians and controversial topics, the film did run into hot water when certain political outfits felt the film was critical of their brand of politics. "We were careful, but there were still some misunderstandings. But then, we cleared the misconceptions about the film and sorted the problem," says Deenadayalan.
Delhi Prasad Deenadayalan
As someone who knows Vijay Sethupathi right from his Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom days, Deenadayalan has seen the actor's rise from an actor to a star. The filmmaker has no qualms in accepting that the script, which was first narrated to Vijay Sethupathi in 2016, underwent multiple changes to accommodate the meteoric rise of the actor's stardom. "In my first draft, the film had less mass appeal and was more of a performance-oriented script. But after Vikram Vedha, we realised Sethu anna had an inherent mass factor. So, we worked on the script accordingly. Interestingly, it was Balaji Tharaneetharan anna who told me to make it massier," shares the director, who talks about the added responsibility of roping in actors like Parthiban and Sathyaraj in the film.
"In the first draft, we didn't have Parthiban sir in mind. The producers felt the Naanum Rowdy Dhaan combination of Sethu anna and Parthiban sir would work well. When he came into the script, we worked on it further. There were a lot of inputs from Parthiban sir too. Even when we couldn't accept some of his inputs, he did not take it personally. In fact, he supported me a lot while filming," says the director, who shared that bringing in Sathyaraj on board was 'a masterstroke'. "We couldn't zero in on a punchy end to Tughlaq Durbar, and it is then that we thought of bringing in Ammavasai into the scheme of things. After listening to the narration, he said, 'Idhu apdiye Ammavasai maadhri irukke'. That got him excited, and it was all him after that. He tailored the look and feel of the role. Both Sethu anna and Parthiban sir were excited about that. Directing the three of them was a blessing in itself," shares Deenadayalan.
While the film got quite a bit of praise, there was some criticism about how simplistically the dual personality idea was dealt with. The character sketches of Manjima Mohan and Raashi Khanna came in for some rebuke too. Deenadayalan accepts that there were flaws in the execution. "In my head, I thought the split personality was fleshed out enough, but I agree that sections of the audience felt it was too convenient. However, with respect to Manjima Mohan's role, I was clear from the start that this was what the role was. She is a bold woman, and yet, docile and reserved.
But I do agree that there was no proper punch to the resolution of that character," says Deenadayalan, but agrees that Raashi Khanna's Kamakshi role was more of a forced addition to adhere to the commercial cinema format. "Though we wrestled with the idea of forcing in a heroine, I felt we needed those elements. And yet, I wanted Kamakshi to be there for a reason, and not be a mindless addition. I understand why the audience expected more from an actor of Raashi's calibre. I must thank Raashi for understanding the limited scope of the role and giving it her best."
It must not be easy for someone making their debut film to be as accepting of criticism. "The point is to learn and get better. That's what I want to take away from reviews. Stifling opinions is a dangerous thing to do. We must move on despite the differences and find similarities," signs off Deenadayalan.

Amazing series, brilliant finale. Genuinely enjoyed every contestant this season.
Was hoping Jessica Knappett would win though.
Next seasons contestants, will air in May, Studio segment yet to be filmed.
I'm open minded about the cast because they rarely strawberry float it up, but I can't say I love them.
How'd they end up with the least entertaining Inbetweener?
Damn it, I would have added this show to the TV eliminator if I had seen this thread 5 minutes earlier.
Because none of the other ones need the publicity.
Will there be tickets for live shows?

Nothing there yet, but I'd expect they'll become available in the next couple of weeks.
PostRe: Taskmaster - Dave (Wednesdays 9pm). Best show on television. Series 8 out in May, lineup on page 6.
Updated the OP. Only know a couple of these really but after being unsure on last series' lineup, I've got full confidence in it being abother cracker.
Yeah I dont mind if I know poeple or not, as long as the chemistry is good and you get a range of personality types its all good.
Such a cracker of a show! Anything Greg Davies does is generally done well.

Q: How to set up alertmanager.service for running in docker container I am running prometheus in a docker container, and I want to configure an AlertManager for making it send me an email when the service is down. I created the  alert_rules.yml and the prometheus.yml, and I run everything with the following command, mounting both the yml files onto the docker container at the path /etc/prometheus:
docker run -d -p 9090:9090 --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v "$PWD/prometheus.yml":/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml -v "$PWD/alert_rules.yml":/etc/prometheus/alert_rules.yml prom/prometheus

Now, I also want prometheus to send me an email when an alert comes up, and that's where I encounter some problems. I configured my alertmanager.yml as follows:
route:
  group_by: ['alertname']
  group_wait: 30s
  group_interval: 5m
  repeat_interval: 1h
  receiver: email-me
receivers:
- name: 'gmail'
  email_configs:
  - to: 'my_email@gmail.com'
    from: 'askonlinetraining@gmail.com'
    smarthost: smtp.gmail.com:587
    auth_username: 'my_email@gmail.com'
    auth_identity: 'my_email@gmail.com'
    auth_password: 'the_password'

I actually don't know if the smarthost parameter is configured correctly since I can't find any documentation about it and I don't know which values it should contain
I also created an alertmanager.service file:
[Unit]
Description=AlertManager Server Service
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=root
Group=root
Type=Simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/alertmanager \
    --config.file /etc/alertmanager.yml

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I think something here is messed up: I think the first parameter I pass to ExecStart is a path that doesn't exist in the container, but I have no idea on how I should replace it.
I tried mounting the last two files into the docker container in the same directory where I mount the first two yml files by using the following command:
docker run -d -p 9090:9090 --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v "$PWD/prometheus.yml":/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml -v "$PWD/alert_rules.yml":/etc/prometheus/alert_rules.yml -v "$PWD/alertmanager.yml":/etc/prometheus/alertmanager.yml -v "$PWD/alertmanager.service":/etc/prometheus/alertmanager.service prom/prometheus

But the mailing alert is not working and I don't know how to fix the configuration for smoothly running all of this into a docker container. As I said, I suppose the main problem resides in the ExecStart command present in alertmanager.service, but maybe I'm wrong. I can't find anything helpful online, hence I would really appreciate some help

A: The best practice with containers is to aim to run a single process per container.
In your container, this suggests one container for prom/prometheus and another for prom/alertmanager.
You can run these using docker as:
docker run \
--detach \
--name=prometheus \
--volume=${PWD}:/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml \
--volume=${PWD}:/rules.yml:/etc/alertmanager/rules.yml \
--publish=9090:9090 \
prom/prometheus:v2.26.0 \
--config.file=/etc/prometheus/promtheus.yml

docker run \
--detach \
--name=alertmanager \
--volume=${PWD}:/rules.yml:/etc/alertmanager/rules.yml \
--publish=9093:9093 \
prom/alertmanager:v0.21.0

A good tool when you run multiple container is Docker Compose in which case, your docker-compose.yml could be:
version: "3"

services:
  prometheus:
    restart: always
    image: prom/prometheus:v2.26.0
    container_name: prometheus
    command:
      - --config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
    volumes:
      - ${PWD}/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
      - ${PWD}/rules.yml:/etc/alertmanager/rules.yml
    expose:
      - "9090"
    ports:
      - 9090:9090

  alertmanager:
    restart: always
    depends_on:

Before doing a Skipper Canteen Review in Disney's Magic Kingdom, we'd never eaten there before, so I was excited to try it out. The Jungle Cruise is one of my absolute all-time favorite attractions so when I heard a few years ago that they were building an attraction based on the story of the Jungle Cruise I knew it was a must-try dining location.
The Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen (man that's one heck of a name) is a Table Service Restaurant located in Adventureland in Disney's Magic Kingdom. It requires 1 Table Dining Credit if you are using the Disney Dining Plan. It also participates in Tables in Wonderland which gives you a %20 discount on your food and drinks, so that is a big help in paying for your meals. Skipper Canteen does accept ADR's 180 Days in advance, and while Skipper Canteen isn't the most popular restaurant in Walt Disney World, seeing as it's located in the Magic Kingdom, it's a good idea to book a reservation ASAP, especially in the busier times of year.
Expect to find the flavorful cuisine of Asia, South America, and Africa at the Skipper Canteen. However, even though it's exotic, it also caters to the most simple palates too. Some of the famous dishes are: Trader Sam's Head-On Shrimp, Char Siu Pork, S.E.A. Shu Mai, plus Steak, Salads, Fish and Lamb Chops.
The idea behind the Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen is a great one. It's tells the story of Dr. Albert Falls, founder of the Jungle Navigation Co. in 1911 and his then famous Jungle Cruise. It also delves into the Society of Explorers and Adventurers (or S.E.A), which is a secret organization behind many of the Disney park attractions, especially those overseas in Tokyo and Hong Kong for example. The theming here is amazing, and one of the best in any park restaurant .
As we said before, the The Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen is a restaurant created by Dr. Albert Falls. Dr. Falls founded The Jungle Navigation Co., in 1911, which was a shipping company to service fellow explorers and adventurers on the jungle rivers. He was also prominent member of the S.E.A.(you will see their influence as we do our Skipper Canteen review).
As time went on and Dr Falls passed, his grand-daughter Alberta took over the family business and fewer and fewer true adventurers were coming to Adventureland, she stopped focusing on shipping and started offering Jungle Cruises to tourists instead. Naturally these hungry visitors needed a place to eat and so the Skipper Canteen was opened up to the public, including all 3 Dining Rooms in the Skipper Canteen; the Crew Mess Hall, the Falls Family Parlor and the secretive S.E.A. Room.
The room itself is filled with high vaulting ceilings and painted in bright colors, no doubt boosting the moral of the crew members working hard on the rivers.
The African masks and statues on the left of the hall are nice, but it's what's behind there that's far more interesting….
This portrait is awesome and gives you a shot a quite familiar looking jungle, wouldn't you say….
Portrait of our adventurers. Scene from the Jungle Cruise?
TIP: Of the 3 dining rooms, I'd take the S.E.A. Room and then the Falls Family Parlor, which are both miles ahead of the Crew Mess Hall imo. Both are a quiet and more intimate dining experience. Ask for one of them when you check in for your reservation!
So we agree that the theming in the Skipper Canteen is fantastic, and a great representation of what a Disney restaurant should look like. What about the food though? Let's find out….
So the Skipper Canteen is advertised as South American, Asian and African cuisine, which might make some pickier eaters worried. While this was true in the beginning of the restaurant's history, the menu has been significantly dialed-down, so you won't find anything overly exotic, and will surely find something that appeals to everyone.
Some of the choices are Steamed Dumplings (S.E.A. She Mai), Pork, Chicken, Steak Salad, Shrimp, a Noodle Bowl, etc. Probably the "strangest" thing on the menu is the Whole Fried Fish, which still has the head on. The Skipper Canteen used to have their Shrimp dish also with the heads but they dialed that one down. Honestly it's extremely hard to pull-off a more ambitious menu in a theme park and have it accepted by the masses. I actually preferred the original version of it and it's a shame that people complained about it. It was only a matter of time it became a bit more main-stream. In fact I fear the same fate eventually for Tiffins in the Animal Kingdom which has already had some minor tweaks but remains more upscale and more exotic than Skipper Canteen.
As for prices they are quite reasonable with Appetizers running from about $9-11 each and Entrees from about $17-32. It's more expensive than a quick service restaurant for sure, but being in the Magic Kingdom you pay a premium and they aren't bad at all.
You Know I'm obsessed with any drink with Boba Balls in it, so it was a no brainer for me! It has a strong green apple taste, and is refreshing, especially after it was so hot. Loveeeee The bobba balls, which are Apple-flavored too. It was a little too icy and could have had a stronger passion fruit taste, but overall it was good!
The falafel uses a secret recipe of Chickpeas, Garlic, Onions, Lemon Juice, and Herbs served with White Bean Dip and Tomato-Cucumber Salad.
Unfortunately I wasn't a huge fan. It comes with 5 pieces, but even though it looks beautiful outside and is fried nicely, it's actually a little dry inside and could use more flavor. The sauce made it tastier, but it needed a little more. The garnish of cucumber and tomato was nice touch, but ultimately the Falafel "falls" short…(I swear it wasn't intended…??).
Honestly I didn't know what to expect with this one as I've never heard of a Cachapas before in my life. They are actually Corn Pancakes pilled high with Mojo-braised Pork, Black Bean Salad, and Avocado Cream. My wife devoured these, absolutely loved them, which is obvious as she's a big avocado person. Definitely an appetizer you don't see often in a theme park and executed perfectly!
The S.E.A. Shu Mai were really good! The meat inside was juicy, it had a great texture, and they were really flavorful! Love the combo of pork, shrimp and edamame! Now I understand why Dr. Falls had so many secret meetings back here!
Like I said before, these used to really be "head-on" shrimp, but many park guests are not used to seeing shrimp with their heads, so we now have the tamer version of the dish. My mom really loved these, the shrimp were succulent and nicely seasoned. Also the jasmine rice was cooked great. Only complaint is that there are only 6 shrimp which if you're hungry and didn't have an appetizer might not fill you. But it's a solid plate overall.
Honestly this was a big letdown for me. I had heard great things about the pork and it being the must-try entree at Skipper Canteen, and just looking at it seems amazing, but honestly it was almost un-eatible. Really it was that bad! The pork itself was way over cooked, and resulted in dry and super stiff meat. Also I didn't like the sauce at all, thought it was bitter and just a bad overall choice. Don't order!
First thing is that it's a really big portion. Lettuce was good and the dressing super light. That's where the compliments stop though as it was really lacking flavor. The steak was tender as you can see in the photo, but didn't have an inch of flavor to it. Not a fan and wouldn't order again.
So back when I told you we had to wait at least 30 minutes to be seated even though there weren't many people in the Magic Kingdom that day, as a result I had to fly through dessert if I wanted to make Happily Ever After. I waited about 30 minutes for the dessert and that meant of course I had to gulp it down in about 10 seconds. That being said it was pretty good. It was very light and the taste of coconut and pineapple was very present. It had a good texture too, and was pretty creamy. I wasn't wild about mixing the basil in there, I prefer basil only in savory dishes, but I thought it was a solid choice.
I'm sorry to say but overall I was a bit disappointed with the Skipper Canteen, I really was expecting more. I'm a huge Jungle Cruise fan so I thought the atmosphere was incredible. I think we had worst waiter in the place because they are supposed to be in character and a bit funny like on the Jungle Cruise itself and ours was just dull, but I saw others that seemed to be really good, Oh well. But I loved the theming and integrating S.E.A. into the domestic parks where it's hard to find them a lot. I hope Disney works them in even more in the future.
The food though was a let down. The S.E.A. Shu Mai were the best appetizer for sure and a must try. Also Orinco Ida's Cachapas, especially if you are a big avocado fan! Trader Sam's Head-on Shrimp was a good but not spectacular entree, but the rest were all disappointing to us. It's a shame because the Skipper Canteen has a lot of promise, especially being in the Magic Kingdom where good Table Service is almost non-existent. I'd be willing to give Skipper Canteen another try in the future, but I can't recommend it on the food quality alone. If you are looking for a really cool atmosphere then it could be worth it, just beware the food is hit-or-miss.
Skipper Canteen is open for Lunch and Dinner (11:30 AM – Park Closing Daily). The Disney Dining Plan is accepted, it's a 1 Disney Dining Table Service Credit.
I want to know what you think about my Skipper Canteen Review. Did you enjoy your meal there? Am I being too harsh on them? Let us know in the comments section below!


Three Belles Outfitters was established in 2010 by the passionate staff of Three Belles Marina. Our goal is to share our enthusiasm for all forms of on-the-water recreation with like-minded people – wherever you may be. We are one of the largest Hobie dealers on the eastern seaboard, and we strive to have every model Hobie kayak in every possible color in-stock for you. We have an incredible staff that knows these kayaks inside and out because they own and fish from them day in and day out.
In addition to selling on our own website, Amazon, and eBay, we are a real brick-and-mortar store. An actual physical store is where we started, but quickly grew outside our own walls and local watershed. We encourage friends, customers, and clients to visit us here in Niantic, Connecticut whenever possible! We have a beautiful view of lovely Smith Cove, and we're just a short drive (or paddle) to Long Island Sound.
Seriously, we carry an enormous selection of kayaks and kayak fishing accessories: LED Light Kits, Rod Holders, Fish-finder Mounting Components, Dry-suits, Carts, Tackle Management, RAM mounts, Gear Tracks, Anchor Trolleys, Visibility Flags, Coolers, Livewells, and much, much more!
One of the best reasons to come visit Three Belles Outfitters is the fact that we offer on-the-water demos and test drives. Aside from unfavorable weather, our philosophy regarding test drives can be summed up in one short sentence: "Every day is Demo Day!" Weather permitting, we strongly encourage taking our kayaks for a spin before you officially decide which one is best for you. We have a full fleet of Demo kayaks to try out, and the knowledgeable, friendly staff to get you on the water. Click here to learn more about The TBO Experience.
One of the huge benefits to having such an incredible group of guys on our fishing team is the diversity they bring to the table. Each one of our TBO Fishing Team members fishes slightly different than the next, they each have varied species of fish that they prefer to target, and they each priorities that differ from one another. This means their kayaks are rigged differently to be exactly perfect for what they need them to be. No one rigging solution is correct, and no solution is wrong. While we might typically install a Lowrance fish-finder on the right side because that's the general preference, installing on the left side might be what works best for you!

UC San Diego Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Taming Carbene Copper(I)-Hydride Complexes
Romero, Erik Anthony
Advisor(s): Bertrand, Guy
Although initially reported in 1844, copper(I)-hydrides were not widely studied until the isolation of "Stryker's reagent" in 1971. Following this development, researchers reported a myriad of chemical transformations employing other transient copper-hydride complexes as highly stereo-, regio-, and enantioselective catalysts. Each of these processes, however, rely on the ability of Cu-H bonds to insert into substrate π-bonds. By focusing on reactions involving this mechanistic step, chemists have limited the potential applications of copper-hydrides to reactions within this niche.
The first part of this manuscript discusses the ability of CAAC copper complexes to affect dehydrogenative borylation reactions of terminal acetylenes under mild conditions. Moreover, during this study, we uncovered convincing evidence that points to the surprising involvement of a copper-hydride complex in the key dihydrogen extrusion step of the mechanistic cycle. We further show that more basic anions on copper switch the selectivity of the catalyst to favor formation of traditional anti-Markovnikov hydroboration products. Lastly, the active catalysts for both reactions were shown to tolerate a wide range of synthetically useful functional groups.
The second part of this manuscript describes our attempts to utilize extremely sterically encumbering NHC ligands to stabilize and characterize the first monomeric, monoligated copper(I)-hydride complex. Although this species exists as a dimer in the solid state, we confirmed the presence of an equilibrium in solution through variable temperature 1H NMR experiments and extracted the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for this dimerization process. We then applied our synthetic strategy to the isolation and crystallographic characterization of the first neutral monoligated silver(I)-hydride. Preliminary experiments indicate that its reactivity mirrors that of copper-hydrides as opposed to gold-hydrides. Refocusing on copper, we employed borane stabilized copper-hydride complexes as benchtop stable surrogates for their highly reactive LCu-H counterparts in the hydrogenation of CO2 with H2. Excitingly, we found that this process is enhanced by an in situ generated amino-borane co-catalyst, thereby affording a rare example of tandem catalysis involving both a transition-metal complex and a classical Lewis pair.
The final chapter discusses the uncatalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols, amines and thiols with pinacolborane and 9-borabicyclononane, a result which contrasts with literature precedent.

Gum Health Basics: What to Look Out For and How to Prevent Trouble
Research suggests the health of our gums may be connected to our overall wellness. Here's how to give them the best care possible.
By Maggie Puniewska September 17, 2019
Everybody wants to have gleaming teeth, of course. But a healthy smile actually begins with your gums. "They are like the foundation of a house: If you have any damage at the base, it starts to impact the entire structure," says Richard Kao, DDS, president of the American Academy of Periodontology in Cupertino, California. Sore, puffy gums can ultimately lead to tooth decay and bone loss—and possibly problems beyond your mouth, too. Studies have tied poor oral and gum health to conditions that involve the immune system, lungs, heart, and brain.
Most gum troubles can be blamed on plaque, a sticky film that coats our teeth and contains millions of bacteria, says Dr. Kao. If plaque isn't removed daily, it begins to harden into a crusty layer called tartar. The bacteria in the tartar produce acids that erode tooth enamel and also irritate your gums, causing tenderness and inflammation known as gingivitis.
RELATED: 9 Things Your Dentist Can Tell About Your Health By Looking in Your Mouth
"Gingivitis is usually reversible by getting better about brushing and flossing, and seeing your dentist or periodontist, who can remove the tartar," says Sally Cram, DDS, a spokesperson for the American Dental Association. But if it's left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis—a more serious infection in which "pockets" form along the gumline and fill with bacterial toxins that break down the bones and tissue that hold teeth in place. Eventually, teeth can become so loose they fall out, or need to be removed.
As if that weren't bad enough, doctors suspect that inflammation in the gums may trigger inflammation throughout the body. That may explain why studies have shown an association between gum disease and a variety of health issues, including heart disease and stroke, Alzheimer's, lung cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers have even found that pregnant women with gum problems may be more likely to have a premature or underweight baby.

Luckily, keeping your gums happy isn't hard. "Ninety-nine percent of gum issues can be prevented with a few good habits," says Dr. Cram, who also runs a periodontal practice in Washington, D.C. And if you're already suffering from gum inflammation (nearly 1 in 2 adults in the U.S. has some form of gum disease), there are ways to stem the damage and possibly undo it.
Signs of Trouble
Have you noticed a little blood when you brush or floss? It may just be that you're brushing too hard, but bleeding can also indicate a buildup of plaque. For the next week, brush more gently; if you're still seeing blood seven days later, make an appointment with your dentist, who can remove any tartar with a professional cleaning.

The color of your gums can be another signal that something's wrong. Healthy gums range from medium pink to light brown, depending on your skin tone. Dark red gums are a sign of periodontitis, so if you notice the shade is off, call your dentist.
Keep an eye out for gum recession, too. Look for tissue that's pulling back, exposing the roots of a tooth, or several teeth. Recession can be brought on by genetics (thanks, Mom and Dad), vigorous brushing, or grinding your teeth at night. But in the vast majority of recession cases, plaque and tartar are the culprits, says Dr. Cram.
Unlike early stages of gum disease, gum recession is not reversible. Chances are you may develop a sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, since the exposed root of a tooth isn't protected by a coating of enamel like the rest of the tooth. Ask your dentist about trying a desensitizing toothpaste; these formulas are made with compounds that stop up the tiny canals in the outer layer of the root, to shield the nerves inside. For a severe case of recession, you may need a gingival graft. In this simple procedure, a periodontist takes tissue from the palate and uses it to repair the receding area of gumline.

The Hormone Factor
It's unfair but true: You can be a stickler for oral health and still develop gum issues. That's because totally normal hormonal changes in your body can wreak havoc in your mouth.
When a woman is pregnant, for example, rising progesterone can make her more susceptible to the growth of gingivitis causing bacteria. (You might even notice bright red, puffy gums when your progesterone spikes a day or two before your period—a phenomenon known as menstruation gingivitis.) Gum woes are common during perimenopause, too: Fluctuations in estrogen levels can create dryness in the mouth, and with less saliva present, microbes can thrive."During these times, it's extra important to stay on top of your oral hygiene," says Dr. Cram. "And check in with your dentist about possibly coming in for care more frequently."
RELATED: The 6 Best Toothbrushes for Receding Gums, According to a Dentist
Tweak Your Habits
You learned the basics of oral care when you were a kid—but a few details can make a big difference. For starters, use an ADA-approved brush with soft bristles. Soft bristles are not only easier on your gums but they are also more flexible and can reach underneath the gumline to sweep away bits of food and plaque, Dr. Cram notes.
Wondering whether you should upgrade to an electric model? A review of research found that powered brushes removed 21 percent more plaque than the manual kind after three months of use. But if you brush properly, you probably don't need to spend more than a few bucks on your toothbrush, says Dr. Cram.
RELATED: 9 Things Your Smile Can Tell You About Your Health
As for proper brushing, think of it more like gentle polishing: Make circular motions with your toothbrush on the surface of your teeth—and brush for at least two minutes. Most people only last 30 seconds, says Vera Tang, DDS, a periodontist at New York University's College of Dentistry. (If that's you, an electric toothbrush with a built-in timer may help.)
Another common mistake people make is not flossing before they brush. A few years ago, the Associated Press reported there was little scientific evidence that flossing was worthwhile—which led to a media frenzy and much confusion. But experts point out that the studies to date are too short in duration to show the long-term preventive benefits of the habit. They stand by flossing for the simple reason that it removes food and plaque in spots your toothbrush can't reach. (Still not convinced? Just try flossing after you brush.) "The trick is to be precise," says Dr. Tang. Hug the string against the side of the tooth in a C shape, and slide it gently up and down two to three times.
RELATED: Is Flossing Useless? What the American Dental Association Really Thinks About That New Report
If you're not a fan of string, floss picks (which look kind of like a mini archer's bow with a handle) can get the job done. And soft picks—those wiry, cylindrical little tools—are great if you have wider spaces between your teeth, or dental work.
Water picks, which use a spray of H2O to dislodge debris between your teeth, can be helpful for people with bridges or braces, but experts say they shouldn't replace regular flossing. "It's like washing your car," says Dr. Tang. "Using a hose to spray dirt off your car isn't going to get it as clean as physically scrubbing it."
Finally, don't skip the recommended semiannual visits to your dentist or periodontist. Aside from giving your teeth a thorough cleaning, your doc can detect problems early on, before they get worse. "Some patients don't experience any obvious signs
of gum disease," says Dr. Kao. "But a professional can spot trouble and nip it in the bud."

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 10 IS NEXT SMARTPHONE YOU SHOULD OWN! (Part 2)
Jon Little September 8, 2019
This year, Samsung also changed its strategy, the company wants Galaxy Note 10 to be larger, to serve more users with entertainment space, working supreme but still have to maintain a set of customers with small hands. . Therefore, the Galaxy Note 10 comes in two different versions, a 6.3-inch screen and a 6.8-inch screen. The difference in technology and features on these two versions is relatively large, but in terms of effectiveness, this gap is not much. Besides, the cost for the more attractive Galaxy Note 10 version, also applies the big promotion programs.
Thus, those who have been and will "love" the Galaxy Note have more options and more users to access this phone line. 2 versions, 2 different selling prices with no big difference are the first conditions for you to consider, depending on the needs to choose instead of just one device as before.
One factor to emphasize, Samsung is making its products more youthful and fashionable, suitable for young people. This 10-year Galaxy Note clearly demonstrates that, a unique generation of Aura colors, most notably the Aura Glow color that gives the rainbow effect. Galaxy Note 10 series will be sold with two main colors: Light Pole, Black Crystal, the basic version will have extra pink Ruby extremely feminine and Galaxy Note 10+ is luxurious white starlight, outstanding.
Samsung is still the brand that makes smartphones with the best screens. Immediately after its launch, the Galaxy Note 10+ has been rated as the world's most beautiful phone with the ranking of Display Mate – the world's leading display quality review page.
There is no difference in panels, the ability to display colors between the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+, is probably just the resolution. The smaller version will have Full HD + resolution and the Galaxy Note 10+ is QHD +. For ordinary users, the resolution stopped at Full HD + has been more than enough to experience, while also providing better power saving capabilities.
Both are renowned Infinity-O screens that Samsung released earlier this year. Unlike the Galaxy S10, the Galaxy Note 10 has a camera dot placed in the middle of the edge on the screen, creating a perfect balance. The edges are minimized to create a sense of Galaxy Note 10 with only the screen on the front, unique and useful when opening a full experience space.

Turns out we are NOT, but we can't help it. It's not our fault that we have difficulty being happy. Many of us feel happy is a thing you have to schedule.
Sadly, we aren't wired for it.
Our nature and historic DNA predisposes us to negativity – that pesky fight or flight and survival of the fittest. Our earliest ancestors spent most of their time in avoidance – avoiding hunger, avoiding being eaten, and fighting to survive.
Our predilection to avoid negative outcomes has us prewired for a negative bias. It leads our brain into using up to two thirds of its neurons detecting negativity: should I fight or should I go? That constant focus is further complicated because it's stored in our long term memory. We hold on to negativity longer, making bad feelings stronger than good.
It's not all gloom and doom though.
We can turn it around, and we should, because stress takes a toll on us with higher blood pressure, increased aches and pains, cognitive impairments, and a diminished quality of life.
We all seem to have time for stress in our lives. In my work, I see that family caregivers of those living with a loved one who has Alzheimer's/Dementia appear to have a particularly high level of stress.
So, how do we do it? How do we GET happy?
Since we spend a great deal on negativity, we have to rewire ourselves, retrain our brains. It's the pursuit of positive experiences and the techniques associated with storing and holding on to them that leads to the Holy Grail of HAPPINESS.
Not surprisingly, eating a healthy diet and adopting a regular exercise routine allows us to feel better. It doesn't take more time to eat right. It takes focus on feeling better, which leads us to a more positive outlook.
Okay, exercising might take some extra time. Instead of watching another episode of Real Housewives of Wherever, try just 20 minutes of walking a day. That alone can lower blood pressure and reduce stress levels. The National Institutes of Health suggests that aerobic exercise is associated with a reduced risk of cognitive impairment and dementia. It may even slow the progression of dementia.
Do you know a particularly happy person? They seem alive, walking with a bounce in their step and nothing ever seems to get them down, leading you and others to believe that nothing bad or negative happens to them. That's simply not true. Bad things happen to everyone but, if we focus on finding positive moments, we don't have to see the negative or, if we do, we learn to let it go quickly.
To rewire ourselves we must spend as much time with our positive moments as possible. We currently take time to ruminate on the negative so let's take THAT time to reminisce on the positive.
Journaling helps to savor the moments by spending more time it. Write about how it felt and what you saw. Think of colorful adjectives to describe the experience. Studies suggest that something as simple as "listing" our gratitudes – or counting our blessings is effective in holding positive moments.
We ask family care givers to focus on the good days — Take MORE time to consume those good-day-making moments. Was Dad more lucid today, resulting in the two of you having a great conversation? Wrap your arms around that conversation. Write about it, feel it, experience it. It was a good day!
Consider other moments you might experience. Every moment has the ability to envelop all our senses, enabling the ability to build a positivity bias.
The adage when life gives you lemons, make lemonade is a great example of a script flip. We get to control how we imprint what happens to us. Now there's a time-saver.
For family caregivers living with an Alzheimer's sufferer, new behaviors seem to appear out of nowhere that we find unpleasant and over which we have no control. Such might be the case when Mom arrives to the breakfast table wearing nothing more than a strand of pearls and a smile.
Nice pearls Mom. Let's make a fashion statement and pair it with that pink robe you have then pour her a cup of coffee.
Questioning the behavior or displaying anger doesn't help Mom and it certainly doesn't help you. Letting it go helps you, reframing the situation (or flipping the script) helps you.
Mediation is one of, if not the, most important way of developing focus on positivity. It's like a clearing of the brain. We are returning our brains to a state of equilibrium which allows us to recharge, replenish, and rest. Through it, we develop greater present moment awareness and emotional regulation–in other words–we are less stressed.
With the ability to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and increase cognitive ability, family members caring for someone with dementia/alzheimer's will benefit greatly from the practice. What's more promising is the growing body of evidence supporting the positive aspects of meditation in that it made seniors feel less lonely and isolated — a link to an increased risk of developing the disease.
There are fundamental ways we ask family caregivers to prepare themselves for the journey from addressing legal and financial issues to learning as much about the disease as possible. Self-care is paramount for the journey too. It gives you, the family caregiver, the strength and tools for navigating the road ahead. Taking time to adopt Happy Practices will go a long way in ensuring your own self-care.
