Sus papeles más conocidosson como Gareth O'Connor en la soap opera escocesa River City y como Robbie en la película The Angels' Share (2012). Brannigan también apareció en la película de 2013 Under the Skin.

Primeros años
Se crio en el problemático barrio de clase trabajadora de Barrowfield en Glasgow, cerca de Celtic Park. Sus padres eran adictos a las drogas y gran parte de su juventud la pasó en medio de la violencia de pandillas y delitos menores. Brannigan lo ha descrito como «una escena de Trainspotting». Él mismo se convirtió en un reincidente y pasó un tiempo en detención juvenil.

Carrera
Comenzó su carrera cinematográfica como Robbie en la comedia negra The Angels' Share (2012) de Ken Loach, que tiene lugar en gran medida en Glasgow y las Tierras Altas de Escocia. Fue nominado para un premio BAFTA Escocia al mejor actor por este papel. Brannigan fue originalmente elegido para una aparición de una sola vez en la soap opera de BBC Scotland River City, pero en la primavera de 2013 volvió para un papel recurrente como Gareth O'Connor. Dejó el programa en septiembre de 2013.

Tuvo papeles en las películas Under the Skin y Amanece en Edimburgo, y en 2014 apareció como Scotty en la quinta temporada del drama criminal irlandés Love/Hate y como Michael en el thriller Beyond.

Vida personal
Ha sido muy abierto acerca de su vida personal y ha puesto de manifiesto que cuando tenía diez años de edad, intentó cortarse las venas. Afirma que, antes de convertirse en actor, tenía contraida graves deudas y no tenía a quien recurrir. Era miembro de una pandilla en Glasgow y sirvió tiempo en un instituto de delincuentes juveniles.

Vive con su novia, Sheree Coutts, y el hijo de ambos, Leo.

Can a human be a Time Lord?
Humans and Time Lords are different species, so they cannot be the same. However, a person can be partially human and partially Time Lord, such as in the case of River Song who had her DNA manipulated to become partially Time Lord after being exposed to radiation from the time vortex before birth, ("A Good Man Goes to War") and in the case of the Doctor who is himself half human on his mother's side, ("Doctor Who", the 1996 TV movie) although some other stories in the spin-off media contradict this fact about the Doctor, such as "Lungbarrow" (novel).

During the very week I was testing the 2019 Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid, GM announced that it was closing the Detroit-Hamtramck plant where it's built, in March, 2019. That's unwelcome holiday news for the plant workers, but reflects business reality—the Volt has never been a big seller. It may be good news, though, if GM does what it promises and doubles its investment in the all-electric vehicles it will introduce in the next decade.
The Volt is a hatchback that looks like a sedan, which puts it at a disadvantage in the American car market, where crossovers are becoming king. Now in the fourth year of its redesigned and improved second generation, the Volt, despite its high-tech powertrain, is the latest in GM's long history of compacts, from the Corvair to the Chevy II, Nova, Cavalier and Cobalt.
Electric vehicles entered the automotive marketplace at the beginning of this decade, when Nissan's all-electric Leaf and GM's first-generation Volt arrived with big fanfare. While the Leaf jumped into the EV market with both feet, the Volt was a calculated compromise. Based on research that said that most car owners don't drive more than about 40 miles a day, GM provided the Volt with a compact battery pack and included a small gasoline engine as a range extender.
Unlike a traditional hybrid, the car was essentially an all-electric powered car, but when it ran out of juice, the small engine kicked in to charge the battery, not to drive the wheels. You could use this arrangement to go hundreds of miles, so the range anxiety of the Leaf's 73-mile range was not a factor.
The Volt comes in two levels—LT and Premier. My Premier tester had the upgraded features you'd expect and felt much plusher than the first-generation car. The swirls of matte-finish plastic and tasteful chrome accents convey motion and excitement, while the colorful dash panels provide all the information you need to monitor your driving.
First-gen Volts charged on Level 2 at 3.6 kilowatts (kW) per hour, but for 2019, only the LT soldiers on with that, while the Premier gets a 7.2-kW system that cuts charging a drained battery from 4.5 to 2.25 hours. Charging at home on 120-volt current, using the supplied cord, takes around 13 hours—approximately overnight—depending on ambient temperature.
Much of driving an EV efficiently is managing your acceleration and braking, and a floating ball display lets you see at a glance whether you're charging or discharging the battery. You get current and cumulative range projections and can monitor how much you have in both your battery and fuel tank.
The 2019 Chevrolet Volt is a hatchback that looks like a sedan. You can fit plenty in the rear, for that reason. Rear seat accommodations are not overly generous, however, and a center console limits the middle position to a car seat (a belt is provided). The Volt is lower and smaller inside than its all-electric Bolt EV sibling, even though it is stretches longer nose to tail.
Driving electric is a joy—it's smooth and quiet. The Volt's motor provides 149 horsepower versus the Bolt EV's 200, but 294 pounds-feet of torque enables exuberant driving without undue drama in the 3,549-pound car. The only sound is a high-tech whine programmed in to project at low speeds to warn oblivious pedestrians.
EPA range numbers are 53 miles for electric only and 420 miles total with a full battery and gas tank. Fuel economy stats are 106 MPGe for electric only and 42 mpg for gasoline only (combined city and highway). EPA Green scores are a perfect 10 for Greenhouse Gas but a 5 for Smog. If you don't use the gas engine much, you'll likely do better.
You can extend your range by selecting Eco for the climate system instead of Max. I used Max because it was cool during my test week. You can also increase the car's electric regeneration by setting the transmission in "L," as in the Bolt EV. This enables one-pedal driving, where pressing on the accelerator moves you forward and lifting your foot slows you down. Unlike in the Bolt, the regen drops off at the last couple of mph, requiring a touch to the brake pedal. With the lever in "D" the transmission behaves like a normal automatic. You can also use the left steering wheel paddle to add regeneration regardless of the L or D setting.
Pricing is still a factor in electric cars, although the Volt's lithium-ion battery pack is only 18.4 killowatt-hours vs. the Bolt's 60. The LT starts at $34,395 and the Premier at $38,995 (both prices include shipping). My test car included the optional Driver Confidence Package ($990) with lane keep assist, forward automatic braking and other safety features. It also came with adaptive cruise control–Advanced ($595), which lets you set a following distance and use forward automatic braking (to maintain the distance).
My tester's price came to $40,580, including shipping. Some state and federal rebates and tax credits apply, but the federal (larger) amount could go down soon, unless the rules are changed by Congress. Still, total incentives can lower the purchase price by as much as $10,000.
If you drive less than 50 miles a day and charge regularly, the 2019 Chevrolet Volt is a great choice for all-electric driving, with the option to take off wherever you want using the gasoline range extender. Of course, you will have to pay for an occasional oil change and carry the extra weight of an engine. But no other plug-in hybrid vehicle offers that large of an electric-only range. If you want a Volt, go grab it now.


5mm x 25" brake cable for $13 and 4mm x 25" shift cable for $18. Plus another 30% off for being a clearance item. I picked up 50" of each for $43 including tax.
Looks like a pretty solid deal.
For accuracy- these are 25' cables.
Yeah, seemed kind of steep for 25 inches of housing!
Yeah, 25 inches wouldn't be much of a deal.
Good stuff. I believe it is made by Jagwire.
I second the Jagwire claim. I've used the REI rolls before and was very happy with them.
They also have gel bar tape on clearance right now. I picked up three rolls today for under $7 each. It feels pretty nice (in the roll...I haven't used it yet).
^^^ But these cables go to 11.
Also, the $20 off membership coupons for $100 arrived today with dividends.
I bought the local shop out of cables and took some of their housing too, it is all marked "Engineered by Jagwire".
If you get some of the shift housing with the older packaging, it is also marked "For Smooth Stopping"

If you aren't already doing so, follow Dr. Sullivan on social media to get updates on his travels, his talks and more information on his innovative treatment and techniques.


Dan's young (25-ish) office mate had a road trip planned for this weekend with 9 friends. Destination: Poland. Dan has lamented, over the past few days, that this sounds like exactly the kind of thing just-out-of-college-youth should be spent on (and I agree — I think back to the many nights we spent eating pizza in front of the tv, times when we were actually BORED and think of what a waste it was). His coworker has suggested, recently, that maybe Dan could come along next time. Dan has said it would be up to me. Then, yesterday, at the last minute, it turned out that someone was sick and Dan's friend suggested (jokingly) that Dan call me to ask if he could come along, but that he imagined there would be lots of yelling if he did. Dan replied that no, in fact, I'd help him back his bags . . . just for a much longer trip.
But, hang on a second. Over the past 14 years, I've put up with, facilitated and indulged WAY more than an impromptu, last minute, weekend trip to Poland.
I do get the joke. But it isn't accurate. It's putting me down, even though I wasn't there, even though there's no apparent harm done. I am so much more than that. I am so much kinder than that. I am so much more loving than that.
So, why not give me that credit?
Dan doesn't say that — not because he doesn't believe it, but because he wants to be funny — he doesn't want to look like the guy who can't take a joke.
But, why not have integrity and be honorable to the woman that I am, the wife that I am, the reality of the marriage that we have? That would hit this young guy like a ton of bricks — open his mind to the idea that it's possible, reasonable even, to have a marriage that is more than expected. More than formulaic and superficial and trite.
These little jokes, these little things that we say, plant seeds in our minds. They become part of how we see each other, even if unfounded. If we could have integrity, always, with the things that we say and the way that we act, it would be self-perpetuating. It could become normal. We could honor, respect and love each other, in these small acts, and reflect the love, honor and respect we try to carry with us through the years. We could see these jokes for what they are: a reflection of a false and sad state that is not reality for us.
I'm not mad at Dan for this — I made exactly this point to him last night when he told me the story, and he got it. (It took a while to get past the, "You don't understand, it was a JOKE", reaction, but we got there.) I'm just saying: let us be kind and respectful of each other. The words we choose feed the way we think and inform our thoughts and actions. We do ourselves harm and disservice by choosing, instead, to get the joke.

Koreans
On the periphery of Chinese imperium lay a mountainous peninsula known for, among other things, its ingenious technological craftsmanship and pottery. Defend your mountain fortresses against fearsome invaders, obliterate your enemies with deadly siege weaponry, and construct armored Turtle Ships that can send any vessel to the depths of the ocean. The tactical genius of Wang Geon and Yi Sun Shin beckon!
Defensive and Naval civilization
Villagers +3 line of sight
Stone miners work 20% faster
Tower upgrades free (Bombard Tower requires Chemistry)
Tower range +1 Castle, +2 Imperial Age
Military units (except siege weapons) cost -15% wood
War Wagon (cavalry archer)
Korean unique cavalry archer unit. Strong vs. infantry and archers. Weak vs. Pikemen, Skirmishers, and Camel Riders.
Turtle Ship (war ship)
Korean unique ship. Slow and ironclad. Strong vs. warships and buildings.
Panokseon (Turtle Ships move 15% faster)
Shinkichon (Mangonel-line +1 range)
Mangonel-line minimum range reduced
When Europe fell into its Dark Age, Korea had been divided into three competing kingdoms: Koguryo to the north, Paekche to the southwest, and Shilla to the southeast. In alliance with China, Shilla conquered the other two kingdoms in the 7th century and then expelled their erstwhile Chinese ally. The central authority of Shilla disintegrated in the 8th-9th centuries, however, under pressure from local lords. Korea was unified once again as Koryo in the 10th century and after that, recovered territory reaching up to the Amnok River border with China in 993. The civilian nobility was thrown out of power by a military coup in 1170 and military rule then lasted for sixty years.
The Mongols invaded in 1231, initiating a 30-year struggle. The Mongols were often distracted by their wars in China and elsewhere but eventually brought enough power to bear that Koryo made peace with the invaders in 1258. Under the Mongols the Koryo maintained their distinct culture and were inspired to demonstrate their superiority to their conquerors through a burst of artistic accomplishment.
Land reform, the rise of a new bureaucracy, the diminishment of Buddhism, and the rise of Confucianism around 1400 were part of the creation of a new kingdom, the Choson, that would rule Korea until the 20th century. China heavily influenced the Choson politically and culturally. Korea became an important center of learning, aided by the invention of movable type and the woodblock technique of publishing around 1234.
The greatest test of the Choson dynasty was invasion by samurai armies from Japan in 1592 that ostensibly planned to conquer China. Although seven years of fighting left much of the Korean peninsula devastated, the Japanese were forced to withdraw because their fleets could not keep open sea lines of supply and reinforcement back to Japan. The great Korean admiral Yi Sun-Shin defeated the Japanese at sea. One key to the Korean naval victories was their innovative turtle ships, the first cannon-bearing armored ships in history. The Japanese had no answer for these slow but powerful weapons.

I am using "toOrders" column in order to do an ORDER BY later with an other LEFT JOIN that I will have in the future.

A: You're doing a JOIN without an ON clause. That is called a cross join, and generates all possible combinations of your output.  Something like this may generate what you want.
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(Month,'%b-%Y') AS Month,
       DATE_FORMAT(Month,'%Y-%m') AS toOrder
FROM (
    SELECT DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 11 MONTH) as Month      UNION ALL
    SELECT DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 10 MONTH) as Month      UNION ALL
    SELECT DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 9 MONTH) as Month       UNION ALL
    SELECT DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 8 MONTH) as Month       UNION ALL
    SELECT DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 7 MONTH) as Month       UNION ALL
    SELECT DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 6 MONTH) as Month       UNION ALL
    SELECT DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 5 MONTH) as Month       UNION ALL
    SELECT DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 4 MONTH) as Month       UNION ALL
    SELECT DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 3 MONTH) as Month       UNION ALL
    SELECT DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 2 MONTH) as Month       UNION ALL
    SELECT DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH) as Month       UNION ALL
    SELECT DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 0 MONTH) as Month
 ) months
ORDER BY months.Month

However this formulation may yield strange results near the ends of months.  I would trust the following query more completely.
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(month.start - INTERVAL seq.seq MONTH,'%b-%Y') AS Month,
       DATE_FORMAT(month.start - INTERVAL seq.seq MONTH,'%Y-%m') AS toOrder
FROM (
   SELECT 11 AS seq UNION ALL
   SELECT 10 UNION ALL
   SELECT  9 UNION ALL
   SELECT  8 UNION ALL
   SELECT  7 UNION ALL
   SELECT  6 UNION ALL
   SELECT  5 UNION ALL
   SELECT  4 UNION ALL
   SELECT  3 UNION ALL
   SELECT  2 UNION ALL
   SELECT  1 UNION ALL
   SELECT  0
) seq
JOIN (
   SELECT CURRENT_DATE() - INTERVAL DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE()) - 1 DAY AS start
) month
ORDER BY seq.seq DESC

That's because
SELECT CURRENT_DATE() - INTERVAL DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE()) - 1 DAY AS start

does a good job of converting today's date into the first day of the present month.

Ginger Zee | A Little Closer to Home (online)
Rescheduled from Oct. 13, 2021
When Ginger Zee, the ABC chief meteorologist, opened her life to readers in Natural Disaster, the response was enormous. She put a very relatable if surprising face on depression and has helped lessen the stigma surrounding mental health issues. In this moving follow-up, Ginger shares her truest self. She spent most of her life shielding her vulnerabilities from the world all while being a professional people pleaser. Her stormy childhood, her ongoing struggles with crippling depression, her suicide attempts, and many other life experiences will resonate with readers who are likely to see themselves along the way.
In spite of its serious subject matter, Ginger's positive, life-affirming outlook comes through loud and clear. Written with great heart and quite a bit of humor, Ginger normalizes issues and challenges millions of people face every day. A Little Closer to Home will broaden the conversation around mental health at a time we need it more than ever.
Ginger Zee is the Chief Meteorologist for ABC News, forecasting for and reporting on the nation's weather from Good Morning America to World News Tonight. Zee has been on the ground before, during and after almost every major weather event and dozens of historic storms including Hurricane Katrina. She watched as the eye of Superstorm Sandy passed over Atlantic City and then covered the devastated Jersey Shore; she was there for the 2020 California wildfires and for the unprecedented number of hurricanes on the Gulf Coast. Zee's dedication to science began at an early age, watching powerful thunderstorms rush across Lake Michigan. Her passion for meteorology brought her to stormchase in college at Valparaiso University where she earned her bachelor of science in meteorology.

This exercise is a technical warm-up practice that I used in one of the first weekly training sessions (Tuesday) last month, with my U15 team.
How many times do we tell our players to "not to play horizontally", to be positioned on different lines to the ball circulation easier? But then, how do we coach them to answer our request?
For this reason I thought about this sequence of passings and receivings on 2 different set-ups; a rectangle for the first phase and rhombus for the second part of the sequence.
The exercise, as previously stated, is carried out on 2 different set-ups; a 30×15 y rectangle and 10 y per side rhombus; the set-ups are 15 y away from each other. The picture shows 2 practices that are carried out both from the left and from the right side of the rectangle.
Left side: the player in possession num. 3 dribbles toward the cone in front of him (1), while 2 teammates move toward opposite directions (the num. 5 backward and the num.2 forward) to receive (2 – 3). The num.2, once the ball is received, passes forward (4) towards the rhombus, where the num.4 and the num.8 move without the ball in order to be passing options from higher or lower vertexes (5). In the picture, the num.4 receives and he plays forward while the num.8 is moving.
Variation: the sequence can even be carreid out, playing toward the higher vertex num.8 and then passing backwards to the num.4.
Right side: the player in possession num.10 dribbles toward the cone in front of him (6), while 2 teammates move backward on the lines of the cones on the right and on the left of the ball carrier. Once the num. 10 is on the center higher cone, he decides who is the teammate who has to receive the pass (11 in the picture – 7); the num.11 must receive with an opened body shape toward the further passing for the num.9 (8), who runs forward again. The num.9 passes towards the rhombus (9), where the num.16 and the num.15 move without the ball in order to be passing options from the higher or lower vertexes. In the picture, the num.16 receives as higher vertex and then he passes back on the run of the teammate (15).
Variation: the sequence can even be carried out playing to the lower vertex of the rhombus num.15 first, and then forward to the num.16.
The sequences always resume again after a dribble towards the starting point and with the players moving forward to the next cone.

Hello Bhargav, if your bank branch does not have SWIFT or BIC code, then you must open a new bank account in a branch which has these codes. Now Google does not send payments by cheque. They do wire transfer and for that your bank branch must have the capability to handle such transaction.
Please can you tell me when Google will send my payment if my verification happened on 17 August and my balance is 200 dollars?
Hi Vikas, Google sends AdSense payments through wire transfer around 25th day of the month. To receive payment your account balance must be at least US $100.
Hi Lalit, it's really very useful post for lots of AdSense users. Many of the users are still trying to get out from this difficult situation. I hope by applying your tips they will get some solution. Nice work.
"Harry logs into his AdSense account and requests for the PIN to be resent; and Google sends the PIN again. "
Lucky Harry, I don't even have this option. And most passports in the EU don't have an official Address section. Just a return to X if found block inside the cover.
Hi Marc, you must be having some identity card that has your address on it. You can show any valid ID to Google AdSense Team. Passport is not the only option.
Hello Amar, please read the article carefully. You can send the scanned ID to Google to override the PIN requirement.
Can you please tell me how google sends the PIN? i mean is it through Postal Service like Post Office or through private couriers. I have been waiting for my PIN for past 3 months, din't receive it yet.
Honestly, I don't clearly remember how it came to me. But I would place my bet on Postal Service.


It's amazing how many faces you recognize when you visit a place often enough; even at a place that receives more than 500,000 visitors a year, like Lake James State Park. When you're a "regular" you get to know the other "regulars"- and so many of you reading this already recognize the face looking up from the page.
Since she was 5-years-old, Audrey Elliott has been a dedicated supporter of Lake James State Park. She earned her first Junior Ranger badge here and has gone on to collect 21 others at parks across the state and she's only a fourth grader! She also holds 21 junior ranger badges from national parks.
Recently, Audrey was introduced as the National Parks Trust's third Buddy Bison Student Ambassador in the National Parks Service Annual Report. With her two fellow ambassadors, Audrey is expected to continue her work in schools to encourage and inspire young people to take advantage of the National Parks System.
"My job is to get kids in parks and show them they can have fun and learn at the same time," she said.
In spite of her national recognition, Audrey continues her volunteer efforts at her "hometown" park. She's currently working with Ranger Kevin Bischof to construct a bat box from materials funded by area businesses, which she lobbied. Audrey has also helped refurbish the interactive stations along the Holly Discovery Trail and she remains dedicated to keeping Lake James beautiful.
"I pick up trash every time I go out on a trail," she said proudly.

Developed from our Standard holster line, the Compact provides the utmost in retention and concealability. Lightweight design allows for comfortable all day concealed carry.
The Compact Series is a passive retention holster that includes a retention adjustment screw. The tension screw is not pre-set and allows for retention pressure to be adjusted based upon personal preference. When un-holstering, do so in a deliberate and rapid upward motion. Passive retention is automatically engaged upon re-holstering.
For paddle option, place the paddle inside your pants and firmly push the paddle down until the paddle fits inside your pants on your belt leaving the holster on the outside of your pants. For belt option, slide your belt through the belt attachment. Always tighten your belt with either mounting option to ensure retention of your Fobus product. The location of your Fobus product around your waist is based upon personal preference.Fobus products with tension adjustment screws are not pre-set. You must adjust the screw to ensure proper retention of your firearm or magazine. Always check the adjustment screw each time you use your Fobus product to confirm proper retention.
Roto-Holster. The Roto-Holster system provides for 360 degree holster rotation and is compatible with any Fobus mounting option. It includes an adjustment screw for easy assembly and rotation. To adjust the angle of the holster, loosen the adjustment screw on the back of the holster and rotate to the desired position. Ensure that the holster locks into one of the pre-set locking positions and tighten the adjustment screw on the back of the holster to secure rotation position. DO NOT ADJUST THE ROTATION OF YOUR HOLSTER WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE GRIP (REAR) OF YOUR FIREARM BEING CLOSER TO THE GROUND (UPSIDE DOWN) THAN THE MUZZLE (OR FRONT) OF YOUR FIREARM.

Pope Francis and the Changing Catholic Church
by: Sarah Asch on August 10th, 2016 | Comments Off
Pope Francis saidin late July that he would never call terrorism "Islamic terrorism" since all religions contain fundamentalist groups. He made the comment in response to questions about a French priest who was targeted and killed in a terrorist attack.
His statement came on the heels of progressive remarks he made in June when he called for the Catholic Church to apologize to the LGBT community for centuries of discrimination. In his efforts to move the church towards a new era of cultural acceptance we should view Pope Francis with as much scrutiny as we would any politically savvy public figure. And whether or not you believe that the Pope is doing his best with a centuries-old system or that he is not moving fast enough on certain issues, we can all agree he is moving. Then the question becomes: how sustainable are these progressive movements after Pope Francis resigns or passes away? After all, Pope Francis changed the tenor of the church pretty quickly after his conservative predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, stepped down at the age of 85. With that in mind, many wonder how far Francis, who is 79 years old, can move the church before he has to hand over the job to somebody else.
In grappling with these questions, it becomes important to look at what has actually changed since Pope Francis took control of the Vatican. In terms of concrete policy the answer is not a huge amount. One of the main changes Francis made is who he appoints to the College of Cardinals. Traditionally bishops at certain dioceses become Cardinals and many of those dioceses are in Italy and wider Europe. Francis has made new, unexpected bishops Cardinals as part of his movement against careerism in the church. In doing so, he has given new parts of the world more representation in the College including Haiti and Myanmar where there have never been Cardinals before. This is significant because the College of Cardinals votes to elect the next pope and Francis has given a voice to regions with traditionally very little power in this arena. As of now, Africa and Asia have their highest (or nearly highest) representation in history, though it should be noted that Italy and Europe are still dramatically higher. And while it is true that the next pope can easily re-staff the College of Cardinals to his liking, just as Francis has done, since the Cardinals elect the next pope, the addition of Cardinals who share Francis's beliefs has the potential to create a lasting impact on the church.

Many of Francis's other changes have been cultural, such as his apology to the queer community or his comments about terrorism. Only time will tell if his statements have a lasting impact on the way the church and its members behave, although there is no doubt he has shifted the image of the church. Among his many bold stances he has endorsed the State of Palestine, warned people about climate change, and criticized the church for past failures. He has emphasized the church's compassion for vulnerable groups.
More than just statements, though, Francis has been the impetus behind what may be lasting cultural change. Perhaps the best way to characterize the shift Francis has crafted is with his 2013 statement, also about homosexuality. "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?" Francis asked, as jaws dropped all over the globe. Refusing to pass judgment plays into the way Francis paints himself as a man instead of an idol – and he pairs his humble words with humble actions. He refuses to live in the palatial lodgings past popes have preferred, instead opting for a simple guesthouse. He takes care to wear plain clothes, uses Twitter, and rides the bus. He does not present himself as a high and mighty man bringing the word of God to the masses. Instead he is gentle, thoughtful, authentic, honest, and kind. In short, he is acting human. And that transformation can very well follow the office long after Pope Francis leaves it. Especially if the next pope carries on the legacy.
So though Francis has not yet made many changes with the power to outlast him, he has changed the attitude and culture of the church. In order to effect real change he must move from cultural adjustment to new policies during his time in office. And perhaps there is even more pressure on the College of Cardinals, when the time comes, to elect a new pope who will continue to push the church in a progressive direction.

If you grew up in 1980s Ireland, you'll recall that the televisual landscape for little ones was… well, decidedly lo-fi. Charming, heartfelt and made with love, certainly, but there often wasn't much in the way of razzle-dazzle, unless you count Bosco's magic door. Which, lovely and all as it was, I don't.
Yet that all changed on one night of the year. As a child, I gave The Late Late Show a fairly wide berth - too full of grown-ups saying serious things for my liking - but the Toy Show was a different stripe of TV entirely. The reasons for its appeal were manifold.
There was a serious business involved, what with the writing of letters to Santa Claus, but more than anything, The Late Late Toy Show ushered in a grand sense of occasion every year. Lighting the fire, buying a 'festive' block of Vienetta and a family-sized bottle of TK, these were rituals we didn't get to enjoy every week. We were freshly bathed and clad in new pyjamas before edging as many newfangled toys, gadgets and dolls into a revised Santa's letter as we thought we'd get away with. In my house, just as in anyone else's that I knew, Christmas was officially off to the races.
And the toys. With Uncle Gaybo presiding over events in efficient fashion, the toys came at you at a rate of knots. And not just any toys - it was all the stuff that no one yet had; all the toys that would dazzle the school playground, guaranteed.
We'd be beside ourselves with envy at the well-spoken youngsters invited to appear on the show who already had the inside scoop on that year's must-have. Whatever about appearing on Action Station Saturday or Pajo's Jukebox, being a Toy Show tester was a gig to seriously aspire to. These were the days, of course, before kids were used to amassing piles of stuff - birthday and Christmas presents were very much a big deal. And when Gay started liberally doling out one (one being prizes, trinkets, experiences and gadgets galore) for everybody in the audience in the manner of a grey-suited Santa Claus, you'd be sick with jealousy afresh.
We may look back now, via the rearview mirror of adulthood, and scoff a little at just how camera-ready and shiny of tooth those Billie Barry Stage School stars were. But when you're five or six, these all-singing, all-kicking youngsters were like a friend's much cooler older brother or sister. They were a little intimidating and certainly more knowing and streetwise than you could ever hope to be (jealousy is a big part of the overall experience).
It stands to reason that the Toy Show was a big deal in the cultural wasteland of 80s Northside Dublin. But last year, something interesting happened when I visited friends with children on the night of The Late Late Toy Show. Their five-year-old had a cornucopia of screens, toys, artistic projects and dress-up costumes every which way she looked. And yet it all paled in comparison to what was coming next on TV. "I can't believe I need to wait FIVE more minutes for this!" she exclaimed at one point, genuinely anguished.
How has it come to this? How has The Late Late Toy Show held such a stranglehold on the affections of the nation, and for this long? And how did it move from a small segment in The Late Late Show in 1976 to what is now arguably the high point in RTE's calendar?
Playground power has a lot to do with it, I suspect, with little kids getting caught in the riptide of Toy Show hype long before Ryan Tubridy even picks out his Christmas jumper.
Yet according to Dr Anthony McIntyre of UCD's Film & Media Studies department, the nostalgia that parents enjoy every year offers the Toy Show juggernaut much of its heft.
McIntyre conducted research, via IT Carlow, on how expats access Irish media and broadcasting. Among the study's most startling findings was that The Late Late Toy Show would come up as a must-see time and time again.
"It's like the other signifiers of being Irish, like Father Ted or Tayto," he notes. "It's for us, by us, and a real indicator of Irish culture that's not captured by tourist-board images. It's something for insiders and it's something that expats will watch to feel connected to home. In the 80s on British TV, you had things like Noel's House Party where they'd be showing off toys and giving them to kids, but the Toy Show were the only ones in RTE doing it," he adds. "It was a strange example of consumerism delivered in a friendly, folksy way."
McIntyre is right in that the Toy Show is a uniquely Irish phenomenon: try explaining to an outsider that millions of viewers are tuning in to prime time TV to watch young dancers and a three-hour advertisement for the toy industry, and watch their brows furrow.
"In some ways, it was notable for being ramshackle - a few things didn't always go to plan, and that was the nature of live TV," McIntyre adds.
The Toy Show can trace its genealogy to programmes like School Around The Corner, which began in the 60s and enjoyed a near-30-year-run: "You have these shows where the adults are slightly uncomfortable interacting with the kids, and certainly with Gay, he would often look quite quizzical at what was going on," notes McIntyre. "Ryan is slightly more au fait with the games and devices."
Tubridy is very much integral to the current package. "He connects more [with the kids] than Pat Kenny did," observes McIntyre. "Pat was a bit of an interim figure between Gay and Ryan. But with Ryan, there's a slight awkwardness, but he's game for a laugh. It's very much part of the overall charm."
The Toy Show is doing what it has always done best, and there's very much an 'if it ain't broke' air about it; an unstinting position that helps only to copper-fasten its appeal. Still, producers appear to have at least one eye on the Zeitgeist: "In some ways, you see the Toy Show adapting to trends in wider media, like the moment where the solider gave his family a surprise last year [when Sergeant Graham Burke returned home to his young family from duty in Mali]. That's a moment that seems designed specifically for YouTube, and to be shared," says McIntyre.
Safe to assume, then, that among the toys, high-kicks, jumpers and the musical numbers, we can expect a viral moment or two in there somewhere tonight. And really, sure where would you get it?
The Late Late Toy Show is on tonight at 9.35pm on RTE One.

Mapion Local Search: Just Point And Learn | OhGizmo!
By David Ponce on 06/29/06 • Leave a comment!
What happens when you combine a cellphone, a GPS module, a compass and an Internet connection? A kickass service from American GeoVector and Japanese CyberMap Japan (aka Mapion), sadly only available in Japan. It's called "Mapion Local Search", and allows you to get detailed information about any of 700,000 businesses simply by pointing your cellphone at them. The GPS determines where you are, the compass where you're pointing; the service digests this information, and spits back useful info about the business in question.
It's initially being launched on KDDI's network, and will be available for download to users with the Sony Ericsson W21S. Other models will be added later in the year. The service is free for now, though the companies are planning on adding a premium version soon, with more detailed maps, and more POIs.

The Bolaven Plateau is an elevated region in southern Laos. Most of the plateau is located within Champasak Province of Laos, though the edges of the plateau are also located in Salavan, Sekong and Attapeu Provinces. It is located between the Annamite Mountain Range, along which runs Laos' eastern border with Vietnam, and the Mekong River to the west, at about 15°N 106°E / 15°N 106°E / 15; 106. The plateau's elevation ranges approximately from 1,000 to 1,350 metres (3,280 to 4,430 ft) above sea level. The plateau is crossed by several rivers and has many scenic waterfalls. The name Bolaven makes reference to the Laven ethnic group which has historically dominated the region. However, domestic migrations by the Lao ethnic group (which comprises approximately 50 to 60 percent of the population of Laos) has resulted in widespread interethnic marriage, thus modifying the ethnic composition of the region.

Historical significance[edit]
The Bolaven Plateau has had an important role in the greater history of Laos. The three most significant historical periods which have greatly affected the area are the French colonization of the region, the Phu Mi Bun Revolt, and the Vietnam War. Each event has had a significant effect upon the Plateau and given the area its own unique character and importance.
French colonization[edit]
In 1893, the French first annexed territories east of the Mekong River and later annexed minor extensions of land to the west of the Mekong in 1904 and 1907.[1] For the Bolaven Plateau, the period of French colonization in Laos is most significant because of the agricultural techniques acquired from the French by the inhabitants. According to the Historical Dictionary, "the French planted coffee and experimented with rubber, and the plateau has remained an important agricultural area growing a wide variety of fruit and vegetables, as well as cash crops".[2] It was not until the French introduced farming to the region in the early 20th century that the residents of the Bolaven Plateau made the area an agricultural sector.
The second period that helps define the history of the Plateau is the Phu Mi Bun Revolt. The revolt erupted in 1901 and was not suppressed until 1907. It was a "major rebellion by local Lao Theung tribes (the Alak, Nyaheun and Laven) against French domination".[2] Though there is not extensive literature on these particular revolutionary revolts in the Bolaven Plateau, one can see that the native communities desired to rid the region of the extensive and overpowering influence of their colonizers.[3]
The Vietnam War[edit]
See also: Vietnam War, Operation Phiboonpol, Operation Sayasila, and Operation Bedrock (Laos)
The Bolaven Plateau greatly suffered during the Vietnam War. The Bolaven Plateau was one of "the most heavily-bombed theatres of the Second Indochina War, US bombardment became unbearable in the late '60s. Controlling the Bolaven Plateau was considered strategically vital to both the Americans and North Vietnamese, as evidenced by the staggering amount of UXO (unexploded ordnance) still lying around".[4] Since there is a great deal of UXO lying around the Plateau, it is often dangerous to veer off unmarked paths. According to many accounts, the devastation caused by these bombings can still be seen in some areas, though most edifices have been rebuilt. In addition, the mere fact that the Plateau is one of the areas passed through on the Ho Chi Minh Trail (The trail does not pass through the plateau but, rather, just off the east edge of the plateau. During the war the plateau was accessible by vehicle via Paksong and Thateng and those roads were the only roads that led off the plateau.) still attracts tourists and brings further attention to the region.[5] Thus, the three aforementioned events are unique historical incidents which have directly affected the Bolaven Plateau.
The predominant ethnic group in the Bolaven Plateau is the Laven, though other Mon-Khmer ethnic groups reside in the area including the Alak, Katu, Taoy, and Suay.[4] According to CPA Media, "all of these people follow animist belief systems" with some groups practicing animal sacrifices. However, more recently, some of these minority communities have begun to adopt Buddhist beliefs because of their contact with Lao Loum.[6]
Literature on the Bolaven Plateau often focuses on two primary economic contributors to the region: agricultural production and tourism. Both contribute greatly to the Plateau's revenue.
The French first began farming and other agricultural techniques in the Bolaven Plateau including the production of coffee, rubber, and bananas in the early 20th century. Since the French's initial influence, "the plateau remained an important agricultural area growing a wide variety of fruit and vegetables, as well as cash crops such as cardamom".[6] However, it was the French introduction of the production of coffee that has proved most useful to the region.
During colonization, the French introduced the production of "high quality stock of both Arabica and Robusta strains. Production declined during the war years, but is now experiencing a renaissance".[7] The climate of the Plateau with its cooler temperatures and abundant rainfall makes it the perfect place for coffee production. Most farming families that make up a variety of the aforementioned minority groups are highly dependent on the coffee industry as their source of income. Coffee in Laos is "cultivated almost exclusively on the Bolaven Plateau in Champasak Province in the southern part of the country... Currently, the Lao coffee harvest generates about 15–20,000 tons a year, 80% of which is Robusta."
Tourism[edit]
Tourism has taken a hold in the Bolaven Plateau because of the unique aspects of the region that have triggered great intrigue. The most popular places visited by tourists are the waterfalls in the region, the villages of the ethnic minorities, and other geopolitical areas of interest.
The Bolaven Province has a number of waterfalls. The Tad Lo Waterfalls that are approximately 58 miles from northeast Pakse are a common destination.[citation needed] The "lush vegetation" that surrounds the waterfall makes it a desired destination though the fall itself "drops only a few meters".[7] In addition, one can go "beyond Paksong on the way to Pakse [where] another spectacular waterfall, Taat Fang (also known as Dong Hua Sao), tumbles 120 metres, making it the tallest waterfall in Laos. Well-marked trails lead the physically fit 6 kilometres to the base of the falls":.[7]
Tourist attractions also include the villages of ethnic minorities who have grown accustomed to sharing their culture with visitors to the region. Travel guides inform visitors of nearby villages that can be visited: "Alak, Katu and Suay villages can be found within a few kilometres of the resort".[7] Tourists are also informed of the markets where they can go and observe the cultures of ethnic minorities and purchase items unique to each culture.
The Bolaven Plateau is filled with cultural and geographical areas of interest.[citation needed] Whether it is a boat trip to one of the waterfalls that occupy the region, a tour of the area's coffee plantations, an elephant day trek, or visiting one of the villages of the ethnic minorities, a journey to the Plateau has many opportunities for tourists.[citation needed][8]
Impact crater[edit]
Researchers believe that a meteorite, about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide, struck Earth approximately 790,000 years ago, with its impact crater perhaps buried under Bolaven Plateau volcanic field, as its strewn tektites, known as the Australasian strewnfield are found across Asia, Australia, and Antarctica.[9]

It's still dark after six here in Basel. Spring is on the way, but until it arrives, we have to come up with ways of training in the dark. Luckily the country roads of France are still here, even in dark, so tonight we went for a night ride.
Equipped with brand new lights, yet to be introduced online, we rode 50 km after work. We forgot our camera, so you'll have to do with a borrowed image.
