The European Union is a controversial issue in the British press. We've heard stories about straight bananas, Euro-gravy trains and paying out huge amounts of money for nothing in return. Which of it is true? Is any of it true?
In reality, most of the things you read about the European Union are more fiction than fact. We've pulled together some of our favourite myths for you to peruse and I hope you enjoy them as much as we did. We hope the responses to these myths will be useful for your campaigning on Europe and help to encourage a more balanced debate about the EU...
How much the EU costs
Britain pays £40 million a day, or £14 billion a year, to the EU...
This is not true. It is correct to say we are a net-contributor, but Britain receives a rebate from the EU (i.e. we get a discount on our contributions) and we receive extra money from the EU to help with our public spending. In 2010 we received a rebate of over £3 billion and an additional £5.5 billion in extra funding. This meant our total net-payment to the EU was only £6.2 billion. Total UK public spending in that year was £669 billion, so our net-contribution to the EU was only 0.9% of our total public spending.
Britain would be richer if it was outside the European Union because it is a net-contributor to the EU budget...
This is untrue. We would be worse off out of Europe. An independent report published by the National Institute for Economic and Social Research in February 2000 showed that the British economy would contract (and taxes would rise) if we left the EU, despite the fact that the UK is a slight net contributor to the EU budget. David Mackie, Chief European Economist at JP Morgan has said: "In the great scheme of things, our net contributions are so small as to be trivial. There is no doubt in my mind that the net benefit of membership of the EU is many orders of magnitude above our net contribution to the EU budget."
Pooling sovereignty with other EU countries means having less control of our future...
Wrong. As Margaret Thatcher said during the 1975 referendum: "the choice is whether to be outside the Community and yet to accept everything which it decides on trading provisions, including standards and safety provisions and prices of steel, or whether to stay in the Community and have an influence over all those decisions which will seriously affect the whole of our industrial life."
Brussels bureaucrats impose laws upon us and we have no say in it...
This is not true. The Commission has no power to impose law on EU countries, it can only propose legislation. Their proposals are sent to the elected MEPs in the Parliament and the national governments in the Council where they are amended until everyone is happy with them. Only after this process is completed are they turned into law. Therefore the British government and the Euro-MPs elected by the British people have a say at every stage of the legislative process.
Britain would gain sovereignty by leaving the EU but remaining a member of the Europe Economic Area (EEA), like Norway...
This is untrue. In the EU Britain has pooled its sovereignty, being part of the decision-making process by which all EU agreements are made. EEA membership means access to the European Single Market, but actually giving up sovereignty. As part of the EEA, Norway is subject to all EU Single Market agreements but, unlike Britain, has no power to decide what they are. This is referred to as 'government by fax', because countries that do this must wait by their fax machines to hear from Brussels what laws to implement.
The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights represents a transfer of power away from the UK...
This is untrue. Article 51.1 says the Charter is addressed to the EU institutions and member states only when implementing Community law. Article 51.2 says it will create no new powers or tasks for the EU. Article 52.3 states that civil and political rights are the same as in the European Convention on Human Rights and therefore Britain's Human Rights Act.
MEPs Pay
MEPs have just given themselves a £20,000 pay rise...
No, this is not true. The system of MEPs' salaries changed in 2009. Previously they were paid the same as MPs in their respective national parliaments. This led to huge disparities: in 2007 a Bulgarian MEP would have earned the equivalent of £6,400 a year but an Italian MEP would have earned £92,661 a year for doing the same job! A uniform salary was organised so that all MEPs would earn the same. When this was agreed it meant British MEPs would have their pay cut and earn less than MPs at Westminster. However, because they are now paid in Euros, when the Pound collapsed during the financial crisis it meant MEPs received more when they turned their Euros into Pounds.
European Superstate
The EU is destined to become a European superstate...
Wrong. The Member States are the most important part of the EU and it is they that have the power over what the EU is and what it does. Clause 3b of Maastricht states: "The [European] Community shall take action, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, only if and in so far as the objectives of the proposed action cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and... can be better achieved by the Community..."
The European Union is designed to "harmonise" or "homogenise" the peoples of Europe...
This is untrue. Margaret Thatcher has said: "It is a myth that our membership [of Europe] will suffocate national tradition and culture. Are the Germans any less German for being in the Community, or the French any less French? Of course they are not."
Brussels Bureaucracy
Europe is overrun by Brussels bureaucrats...
This is untrue. In fact the total staff of the Commission is around 23,000 including over 1,800 translators/interpreters and more than 9,000 secretarial and support staff. This compares to around 52,000 at Birmingham City Council.
Brussels bureaucrats are completely unaccountable...
This is untrue. The Commissioners are appointed by EU heads of government (just as the British government ministers are appointed by their own head of government). They can only take office with the approval of the European Parliament, which consists of directly elected MEPs, and are dismissible by the European Parliament in a collective vote of no-confidence.
Meddling Brussels bureaucrats to ban 999 and harmonise euro-emergency numbers...
This is untrue. EU agreement creates a common emergency number (112) in addition to national numbers like 999 so that Brits abroad will know how to get help quickly wherever they are in Europe. The agreement states: "Individual member states cannot be forced to change their emergency numbers.
Curved bananas are banned...
This is untrue. Bananas are simply classified according to quality and size for international trade under EU agreements rationalising past standards by individual governments and the industry.
President of Europe
We now have a President of Europe that no one voted for...
Firstly, we do not have a President of Europe, there is no such position. What the media often refer to as President of Europe is actually the President of the European Council. This position has no executive decision making powers (the heads of government from the Member States are the ones that make the decisions) and it was created to bring greater consistency and fluidity to the European Council (which had relied upon a rotating Presidency every six months). Most institutions have similar roles: there is a President of the European Parliament, a President of the Commission, and each Committee Group even has a President. These positions are comparable to chairs. As the President of the European Council is not an executive position it is elected by the members of the European Council rather than the European electorate, in much the same way as MPs in the House of Commons elect their Speaker of the House rather than putting the decision to the British people.
Britain & the Euro
Sterling would be more stable and therefore better for business, if Britain ruled out the option to join a successful single currency...
This is untrue. Global financier George Soros has said: "I think that sterling will be in that case in a very dangerous position because it would be caught between two very large currency zones."
Ruling out the option to join a successful single currency is necessary to enable Britain to avoid a one-size fits all interest rate...
This is untrue. Britain already has a one-size-fits-all interest rate in that it (along with the rest of Europe, and indeed the US) consists of lots of regions that are actually very different. The Centre for Economic Policy Research has said: "The greatest disparities within Europe are not, in fact, between member states but within them, e.g. between different regions in Italy rather than between Italy and Germany."
The EU Accounts
The EU budget has not been certified by the Court of Auditors for the last fourteen years...
Wrong. In November 2009 the European Court of Auditors certified the EU budget. They issued it with a clean bill of health and concluded that they 'present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the European Communities and the results of their operations and cash flows'. Previous EU budgets have been criticised by the auditors but this year they noted, 'the overall results for 2008 reflect the improvements in the management of the budget in recent years'.
To read more about the 2008 accounts click here.
Rural communities will lose the delivery of mail under EU plans to streamline postal services...
This is not true. In fact it is EU agreements that actually help to safeguard the universal service. The proposed new directive actually strengthens the existing 1997 Directive under which EU Member States can use licensing systems to impose universal service obligations on competitors.
A European Army
Brussels is trying to build an EU army...
No. The Common Security and Defence Policy does not create a 'Euro-army', instead it helps national armies within the EU to work more closely together on joint projects, in much the same way as NATO has since the end of the Second World War. If the British Government does not want the British Army to take part in a European campaign then it will not. The British Government always remains 100% sovereign over the British Army.
British Farming
British farmers lose out in Europe and would be better off if we left...
This is untrue. Ben Gill, former President of the NFU (National Farmers' Union) has said: "Membership of the EU is vital to the interests of British farmers. Over three-quarters of our agricultural commodity exports go to the EU and this share is only likely to grow with the further enlargement of the EU. Looking ahead, the signs are that the whole of the food chain will become increasingly integrated on a European scale. Our future as part of a competitive food industry depends on continuing membership of the Union."
The British Fishing Industry
We need to reject the Common Fisheries Policy to save Britain's fish...
This is untrue. Without international cooperation Britain would be unable to stop foreign fishing fleets over-fishing our stocks as they migrate through international waters. North Sea plaice, for example, need to be protected in the coastal waters of Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands where the juvenile plaice congregate.
Britain & the rest of the World
Britain's special relationship with America is undermined by our EU membership...
This is untrue. In fact the opposite is the case. Instead, our 'special relationship' with the US is underpinned by our influence within the EU. In the words of former US Ambassador to Britain, Ray Seitz: "If Britain's voice is less influential in Paris or [Berlin], it is likely to be less influential in Washington."
The Commonwealth could have provided an alternative trading area to the EU...
This is untrue. Sir Alec Douglas-Home, the then Foreign Secretary and later a Conservative Prime Minister, recollected: "In 1961 I had concluded on the evidence before me that the United Kingdom could not afford to stay out of the European Community", and made a speech to that effect in the House of Lords. My experience as Commonwealth Secretary had convinced me that the erosions of our economic preferences which had begun in Australia and which were depriving us of our share of Commonwealth trade, were bound to continue, and that we must act to find alternatives to protect our national income."
Britain would have a greater world role if it left the EU...
This is untrue. As Margaret Thatcher has said: "On our own, as a nation of 55 million, we would have some voice, but not enough. Britain has traditionally been part of a larger grouping and was listened to partly because of that grouping as well as because of our own particular attributes."
The EU: What's in it for me?

EuroMYTH: 'The Lib Dems want to surrender border controls to Brussels'
MYTH: "SENIOR Lib Dem advisers are calling for a party debate on whether Britain should surrender its border controls to Brüssels, effectively allowing anyone in the EU to enter the UK without passport checks.
At present Britain is the only country of the 26 European member states which remains outside the so-called Schengen area, which allows Citizens to pass between countries without border checks


Simone 27 and Josh 29 years. Leaving the corporate working world behind in Australia to tour US and Canada in an RV for 6 months. We love the outdoors, hiking, fitness, meeting people, sharing stories and having a chat and laugh.
We are driving a rented 2018 Ford Thor 25 foot. We are very self sufficient - spend our days out exploring and have not once used our generator!
I really enjoyed my visit with them. If you get a chance to host I recommend hosting them. I was sad I didn't have more time to visit.
Sweet couple, enjoying their time in the states, glad they picked our area to visit!
Storms came in last night so I opened my garage and had them drive their RV in to protect it from the hail storm that came thru.
It was a wonderful experience to host this warm and delightful couple that hail from the great country down under, Australia. We lived in Australia back in the early 80's so we are always interested in meeting anyone from there. We have always considered Australia our second home.
We spent the evening chatting at length about our shared interest in traveling. Toward the end of the night they taught us how to play an Aussie card game. The evening ended much too quickly.
Vandownunder are quiet and respectful guests. They are welcome back here anytime. Hopefully we will see each other again. Who knows, maybe we will be knocking on their door one day in Australia.
what a great stay with us... got to kayak to the manatees, a long evening walk, campfire sit with other Bdockers guests and enjoy a dinner with them and 4 other friends... great conversations on all subjects.. they loved the fact that we do not eat our national symbol, bald eagle, like they do, the kangaroo!!
We had a great time with the vandownunder folks. They joined us for square dancing here at the house and at our regular weekly club dance. They are quick learners and everyone enjoyed meeting them. Welcome back at any time.
We didn't get to meet in person, but it was a pleasure to host them as they explore our great country. They are welcome to stay at the 20 acre wood anytime.
What an amazing young couple. These two are "living the dream" Very good guests, respectful and quiet. Awesome travel stories and we got to try Vegemite and it was good.
They are so cute and charming! They have planned very well for their 6-month adventure in our country. Delighted to have met them, and we wish them all the best on their grand tour!
Great guests from Down Under!
We both wish we had had more time to visit with this interesting couple, but we did manage one evening one the dock talking and enjoying the wine they brought. They would be welcome back any time.
Vandownunder are the nicest young couple. They were exceptionally respectful of our location and were very communicative; they arrived timely and were a pleasure to Host. It is refreshing to meet such terriffic young adventurers - no doubt they will travel far in their lives with such a positive outlook. We would welcome them again should they travel our way!
Enjoyed chatting. Come back anytime.
Super visit with an inspiring couple!
So when you get a stay request FromAVanDownUnder, you have to stop and wonder! It was really great to be a part of Josh and Simone's travelling adventure as they make their way through the U.S. and Canada. We had wonderful conversation with this young couple and gained a lot of insight into RVing as well as life down under. Our sons appreciated Josh showing them a drone--now they have a new item for Santa to come through on! We plan to follow their travels and will enjoy hearing about their takeaways.
It was so much fun getting to meet Josh and Simone. They were friendly and we would welcome them back anytime. It is nice to have guests who appreciate your place as much as you do!
Simone and Josh were delightful guests. They treated us with respect and kindness, and we enjoyed their company. We would very much welcome them back to stay with us again. Glad to have met them and we wish them well on their next adventure.
Josh and Simone were wonderful guests! Communicated well, arrived and left as planned, very friendly!! They were completely silent during their visit so besides the obvious RV I hardly noticed them after our first lovely chat. I would highly recommend them to any host!

Q: Trouble with quaternions in a sprite and script I'm making a 2-d platforming shooter game in Unity5 using some Asset store pre-written scripts and some online tutorials that I'm throwing together to get my desired effect, however i'm having an issue with a script that just won't work 100%, and I believe it's due to my lack of experience with both c# and quaternions.
I'm a Graphic designer and not a Game dev or programmer by any means, but i'd say i'm at a hobbyist level of c#, i can understand what i see and bodge some basic code but this has me stumped. I'm making a 2d side-scrolling game with a sprite that runs and jumps, with a weapon that follows the mouse on-screen. The effect I'm looking for is for the sprite to flip when the mouse postion exceeds what would be it's North and South on the X axis, or essentially have his body sprite facing the same direction as the mouse.
https://github.com/MattWinfield/GameCode <------ Here is the Github link to both the full scripts in use.
public class PlatformerCharacter2D : MonoBehaviour
{
        Transform playerGraphics;
        private static float ArmDegree;

        private void Awake()
        {
            playerGraphics = transform.Find("Body");
        }

        private void FixedUpdate()
        {
            ArmDegree = armRotation.rotationZ;

            if (ArmDegree > 90 || ArmDegree > -90 && m_FacingRight)
            {
                Flip();
            }
            else if (ArmDegree < 90 || ArmDegree < -90 && !m_FacingRight)
            {
                Flip();
            }
        }

    private void Flip()
    {
        m_FacingRight = !m_FacingRight;

        // Multiply the player's x local scale by -1.
        Vector3 theScale = playerGraphics.localScale;
        theScale.x *= -1;
        playerGraphics.localScale = theScale;
    }
}

public class armRotation : MonoBehaviour
    {

    public static float rotationZ;
    public int rotationOffset;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        Vector3 difference =
    Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition) - transform.position;
        difference.Normalize();

        rotationZ = Mathf.Atan2 (difference.y, difference.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, rotationZ +
    rotationOffset);

    }
}

I want the body sprite, referenced as playerGraphics in the code to flip on the x axis whenever the rotation of the arm exceeds the x axis, so that the sprite is facing he same side as the position of the mouse pointer, but with the hassle I'm having with the quaternions, the sprite flips in strange points and i cant seem to get it to work.

A: So i suppose i was tired or just needed to think about it a bit longer, i got it working, the code is clunky and inefficient but it works and i can streamline later.
        if (ArmDegree < 90 && ArmDegree > 0 && !m_FacingRight)
            {
                Flip();
                m_FacingRight = true;
            }

        else if (ArmDegree > 90 && ArmDegree <180 && m_FacingRight)
            {
                Flip();
                m_FacingRight = false;
            }
        else if (ArmDegree < 0 && ArmDegree > -90 && !m_FacingRight)
            {
                Flip();
                m_FacingRight = true;
            }
        else if (ArmDegree >-180  && ArmDegree < -90 && m_FacingRight)
            {
                Flip();
                m_FacingRight = false;
            }

I basically just took the characters x and y and split it to quadrants, doubling the code but halving the headache it took to wrap my head around it. But thanks for your help guys.

Climate and Grazing
From FAFDL | WIKI
Emerging land use practices rapidly increase soil organic matter (2015) === Converting degraded soils from cropping to intensively grazed permanent pasture in SE USA can increase soil organic matter remarkably quickly. However, this is not low input grazing. It took full fertilization (over 600 lb/ac N in 3 years), irrigation, grazing for optimal forage digestibility and protein content. The increase only lasted 6 years before leveling off. And the soils were sandy, starting with only 0.5% soil organic matter. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms7995?fbclid=IwAR1RIPYj3ua-rSlo9KAE0y4nzHalgye4s1az1qfMhzfxCmmKuTF8kimb4L4
On Pasture: Does Grazing Sequester Carbon? Part 1
So far, we've read over 100 scientific papers published between 1998 and 2016. Each of those papers cite at least 50 additional papers that supported them in their work. And, of course, each of those support papers cite even more papers. It's a lot to digest.
Let's start with the basics of what the research tells us. We'll go into more detail in future articles.
What we've learned from our reading so far:
Grazing itself does not seem to have much influence on increasing carbon in the soil.
https://onpasture.com/2017/10/02/does-grazing-sequester-carbon-part-1/?fbclid=IwAR3OMLiKXpShWryqKSdMBRlEZvNErdF9RyAovVMtnBZB0WKGG9ZUohOBj18
On Pasture: Does Grazing Sequester Carbon? Part 2 – Some Background https://onpasture.com/2017/10/09/does-grazing-sequester-carbon-part-2-some-background/
On Pasture: What 30 Years of Study Tell Us About Grazing and Carbon Sequestration
About ten years ago, two scientists argued about these two things. One said that it was doubtful carbon increase was occurring due to grazing management, and if there were changes, it would be difficult to measure them. The other said that based on soil organic matter increases alone, soil organic carbon had to be increasing, and it was because of his grazing management. To resolve their disagreement, they did what scientists do – they set up experiments to answer the question.
They now have nine years of data on the effects of management intensive grazing (or Adaptive Multi-Paddock grazing as it's sometimes called in research circles) and it shows grazing has not increased carbon sequestration in the soil. In fact, the grazed only plots have continued to be a carbon source, not a sink.
Other researchers might have told them to expect this result, as it turns out these kinds of studies have been going on for years. One scientist studying grazing and carbon sequestration on the shortgrass steppe told me that when he started he had very little gray hair, but now his hair is mostly gray and he's retired. When I spoke to another scientist in this field he sighed and said, "We've got thirty years of data on this and it feels like people are just ignoring us."

Reports: Legoland owner has approached SeaWorld about a sale
By Ed Hammond - Paul Jarvis - Ruth David - Bloomberg
Merlin Entertainments has approached SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. about a potential deal, according to people familiar with the matter, as the U.K. theme-park operator seeks to expand overseas to offset a slide in tourists visiting London.
Merlin, which runs the Thorpe Park Resort in southern England and Legoland parks across the world, has made a bid for part of the company, which could be a hurdle as SeaWorld prefers an outright sale, the people said. SeaWorld, which has been working with advisers to explore options including a sale, also received interest from other possible suitors, the people said, asking not to be identified as the details aren't public.
The offer comes as SeaWorld Chief Executive Officer Joel Manby struggles to stem declines in sales and the stock price of the Orlando-based park owner once famous for its killer whales. For Merlin, a deal by the operator of the London Eye and Madame Tussauds waxworks would mark a continuation of its strategy to expand internationally to cope with a drop in day-trippers to the British capital following terrorist attacks in London and Manchester.
Shares of Orlando-based SeaWorld rose 4.6 percent in late trading in New York on Wednesday. Shares of Merlin were up 1.8 percent at 10:51 a.m. in London on Thursday, giving the company a market value of $6.14 billion.
SeaWorld which is currently valued at about $1.3 billion, counts Chinese leisure firm Zhonghong Group as the biggest shareholder, with a 21 percent stake acquired in March from Blackstone Group. Zhonghong didn't respond to an email seeking comment during the Golden Week holiday in China.
Representatives for Merlin and SeaWorld declined to comment.
Merlin has a policy of not keeping cetaceans such as whales and dolphins in captivity, which would signal that its interest lies in SeaWorld's Busch Gardens theme-park assets. Chief Financial Officer Anne-Francoise Nesmes said on Merlin's earnings call on Aug. 4 that the Busch Gardens parks are "good-quality assets and that we would be interested. But it takes two parties to do a deal."

Free stuff and good deals for frugal Floridians.
The company said in August it expects to meet profit estimates, with two-thirds of revenue coming from outside the U.K. and new attractions opening in China and India.
SeaWorld could raise as much as $1 billion from selling regional parks like Busch Gardens, getting funding to invest in its core aquatic-themed locations, Suntrust analyst Michael Swartz said in August. Busch Gardens has locations in Tampa, Florida, and Williamsburg, Virginia.
The 'waiting game:' Florida grocery workers aren't yet getting COVID-19 vaccines
More than two years into an attempted turnaround of the company, the shares of the theme park operator have fallen 25 percent this year, amid shrinking attendance and missed earnings forecasts.
The park owner came under fire in the 2013 documentary "Blackfish," which accused the company of mistreating its killer whales. Under Manby, SeaWorld stopped breeding orcas, created a new show in its San Diego park with animals performing more natural behaviors, and invested in non-animal attractions, such as roller coasters and ocean-themed rides.
Blackstone, the world's largest buyout firm, took SeaWorld public in 2013 after acquiring it four years earlier for $2.3 billion. Blackstone sold its final block of shares this year, cementing a return of about 2.7 times its original investment. Blackstone also owned Merlin in the past. The private equity firm acquired the entertainment company in 2005, bolstered it with acquisitions, sold a stake to CVC Capital Partners in 2010 and exited its final position in 2015.

The global healing and awakening of our Earth signs the passage from a life based upon separation, fear and fighting, to one based upon unity, peace, and love. Jesus referred to this process when he said: The humble will inherit the land.
The evolutionary progression unfolding at the present moment is manifesting itself through a rapid acceleration of the events in all fields: environmental (natural disasters), social (wars, terrorist attacks, economic crises, etc.) and individual (sphere of the emotions); it is a period of great unbalance, which precedes a new balance. Our "Fathers" say that it will end shortly. It is in full acceleration at the present moment and, because of this, we are living in a period of transition between two worlds where everything in life seems to move at an incredible speed, a phenomenon which is under everyone's eyes and whose side-effects are: tiredness, anguish, unease, insomnia, panic attacks, feeling lost, etc. …
To be unaware of the nature of this process can be very frightening, whereas to understand its beauty and profound meaning enables us not only to walk through it safely but also to experience it fully.
This book contains a vital energy which you can perceive simply by reading it. It can help you to remember something about your past, something that is very, very ancient.

This is our review of our recent trip from Sydney to Auckland on the Silver Muse. We were fortunate to have booked an Owner's Suite in the ship and we were expecting to be blown away by the whole experience but, unfortunately, it did not really end up that way. Embarkation and disembarkation Very good and smooth. Food and Restaurants In our opinion, the food was excellent all round and although other reviewers complained of the lack of variety, the menu is changed every 7 days at the evening restaurants, except for "La Dame". We felt this catered for enough variety as there are various dishes within one menu to guarantee no repetition of the same dish within two visits to that restaurant in a 7-day cycle. We loved the pizza at "Spaccanapoli", the lamb at "La Dame" and the overall experience at "Indochine". Perhaps the one restaurant that lagged was "La Terraza" (Italian) in the evening. We felt the food there could be improved. Service on board Outstanding, that is all we can say. Every single member of the crew made us feel welcome and always greeted us with a smile. We would like to point out the outstanding service provided by Shinuda (maître d') who was always helpful and happy, Gabor at Indochine who went out of his way to make sure that our wishes were met, and Nuria at Indochine who was always happy and cheerful and made our dinners a joy. Butler For some reason our butler was not as good as it could have been. Not much attention to detail and seemed to be stressed most of the time. We have had better experience with butlers before. This was not one to remember. Entertainment and activities onboard We had a guest guitarist, Vincenzo, who gave two shows in the 15-day cruise. Very good. The Silversea singers were very good but on a 15-day cruise, their shows, we found them to be repetitive. Silversea should consider bringing in more guest entertainers on longer cruises. Our cruise director was good. Activities were average. Cabin That was our biggest disappointment. Having the Owner's suite booked we had high expectations as regards services, overall experience and luxury. The reality is that other then the size of the room (basically 3 varanda suites -one with no balcony - put together into one suite) the overall experience is the same as any other suite in the ship. We expected to receive additional perks to the standard suites for the cost of the Owner's suite but that was not the case, but the cost of the suite is over x2.5 times that of a standard Varanda suite. The sitting/dining room had two large TV sets opposite one another in a room that was no more that 5 meters in distance between opposing walls. We did not understand the reason for two TV sets in such a small space and it felt as though one of them was an afterthought to justify the suite category. Totally unnecessary. Our experience with the owner's suite is that it simply is not worth the money and they do not represent value for money. We are not likely to ever book an Owner Suite or any of the other top suites until there is a clear value for money appreciation in the suite. Booking a Varanda suite will get you the same level or service and extras and if you are after more space, then a Silver suite is a more reasonable option. Just as a point in reference, we had an Owner's suite quoted for a trip to Antarctica in 2021, the cost was quoted in excess of $110K whereas the Varanda for two costs $35K. Bear in mind you are getting exactly the same service on board. Just not worth the money in our opinion. Crew Never saw them. Did we have one?. Ports and excursions The destinations were what sold us the cruise. Outstanding experience, amazing journey. The excursions were good, and we particularly appreciated the Middle Earth (Littleton, NZ) excursion hosted by Hammond Peek, he made our day – excellent person and great host. Passengers We felt that the average of the cruisers was more in the late 60's – over 70's range. Perhaps the distance, time of the year and cost keeps away younger people. My wife and I are 55+ and would have preferred a merrier atmosphere and not so formal. The sea days were particularly tedious with almost no entertainment in the swimming pool which gave it an impression of a 5-star hotel with no entertainment. This area needs to be improved.

Wonderful but messy boarding of the train. In addition, other passengers were taking all the tables by the windows with no consideration to the rest. Selfish behavior.
The actual views and train rides were excellent.
A ship tour round the island. Average.
We loved it. We wish we werw hobbits!
Spoilt for any other cruise line, now.
Great Butler, fabulous wine lectures, but not good food.

Tijuana Cartel – Live Act of the Year
Tijuana Cartel is a East Meets West wonderland. A sensory overload, euphoria, fat beats and heavy, bass-fuelled electronica live band.
In 2018 they're coming to Europe, Asia & New Zealand to share their latest single "ISHTAR", bringing together beats and people of all cultures to unite on the dance floor.
They've graced Australia's biggest stages: Splendour In The Grass, Falls Festival, Woodford Folk Festival & Peak Festival (NYE to 15,000 punters). 2016-17 saw them go international with performances in Indonesia & New Zealand on top of their gruelling Australian tour schedule.
They have released 5 full length albums (Frequent Flyers, They Come, M1, 24 bit Guitar Orchestra Psychedelicatessen) and their singles "Letting It Go" and "White Dove" were on heavy rotation on the national broadcaster Triple J, effectively catapulting them into the public spotlight and cementing them as one of Australia's premier touring bands.
The band started as a couple of guitars and with the aid of a few computers, synthesisers, a percussionist & trumpeter they've managed to weave their way into some sort of Indy- Electronica-world-music movement.
The live set is driven by house beats, infused with trumpet, percussion and frantic middle eastern guitar lines blending layers of rich, intricate and atmospheric soundscapes with laid-back rhythms and luscious vocals.
"We blend all our personal influences together into our own sound, I'm into flamenco guitar and world sounds, where as Carey is more into break beat and electro styles, Eamon has a jazz background and Sheila brings her DJ alter ego into the mix." Paul George (Tijuana Cartel frontman).
2018 sees a brand new Tijuana Cartel record featuring a roster of secret surprise guest artists.Creating an electronic beats tapestry that will cut through to your very soul, Tijuana Cartel is the perfect accompaniment to the rich tapestry of offerings at any festival across the globe.
"There's really no one else doing their mix of eastern mysticism, world flavours and cutting-edge dance beats, certainly with as much flair." Andrew Drever (Sydney Morning Herald).
"Wanna know how good this song is? When I played it on House Party SIA tweeted me wanting to know what it was?! Crazy! And well deserved." Nina Las Vegas (Triple J Unearthed).

The Central Processing Unit (CPU), or processor, carries out instructions of the operating system on your computer. The CPU speed, or your computer speed, indicates how many instructions your computer can handle in a second. The processing speed is not the only consideration in how fast your computer runs. The efficiency of a computer is a crucial ingredient in how fast information is processed. If you are curious about the speed of your computer, that information is available if you know where to look.
Click on the "Start" button located on the bottom of your desktop.
Select "Run" from the start menu.
Type "msinfo32" in the "Run" text box, this brings up your computer information. The speed is listed as the model then the speed. For instance, it might say something like "GenuineIntel 1495 Mhz." That means the speed is 1495 Mhz.
Find the same information in Vista or Windows 7 by typing "msinfo32" in the search text box located in the Start menu.

News / Highlands & Islands
Monument honouring soldiers killed on eve of Battle of Culloden unveiled
The Battle of Littleferry saw 100 soldiers killed in clashes between Jacobite forces and pro-government militia.
Monument: Stone unveiled in the Highlands to commemorate soldiers. STV News
By Iain Ramage
A monument has been unveiled to honour 100 soldiers killed in the Highlands on the eve of the Battle of Culloden.
The Battle of Littleferry on April 15, 1746 also left many wounded in clashes between Jacobite forces and local pro-government militia.
The Jacobites were defeated by troops loyal to the British Hanoverian government.
They had been sent on a foraging mission and were ambushed by two companies of local militia – members of the pro-government Sutherland and Mackay clans.
It was regarded locally as "a skirmish" and, over time, became largely forgotten.
Local historians recently gathered support for revisiting the event.
A giant stone, battlefield trail and historical guidebook written by locally-based Major General Patrick Marriott feature in a community effort to commemorate those killed in four miles of running battles between Dunrobin Castle and Littleferry, in Sutherland.
Golspie Community Council chairman Ian Sutherland, who is part of the project team, said: "It was really the end game of a civil war that had raged on and off for about 100 years.
"It was the sons of two kings that were fighting by proxy for their fathers – and the Hanoverians won."
He added: "It's been a community project that's brought a lot of people together."
The prominent monument stands beside Ferry Road, southwest of Golspie Golf Club.
The organisers hope the new fixtures will attract domestic and international visitors to the area.
Trees will be planted at the site in memory of those who died.
Art and storytelling workshops are planned for July as part of Scotland's Year of Stories 2022.
Talks are underway between the project team and managers at Culloden visitor centre about an initiative to forge a link between the two battle sites.
The project was led by the Golspie Heritage Society, backed by the local community council and a raft of volunteers.
The overriding theme of the project is that "the memorial takes no side, supported by the logic that all suffer in conflict – victors and vanquished."

Home/Data and activities/Turkish state is responsible for safety, security Abdullah Ocalan's leader
Turkish state is responsible for safety, security Abdullah Ocalan's leader
The Center for Research and Protection of Women's Rights in Syria issued a written statement to the public opinion against the backdrop of a fire in the forest of The Island of Imrali, where leader Abdullah Ocalan is being held, on February 27.
"Believing in the great sacrifices made by leader Abdullah Ocalan for all humanity in general and women in particular, he was in the darkest of circumstances supporting the women's liberation movement and who supported Kurdish women until they reached the highest levels of awareness and obtained their rights, and worked to achieve justice. Gender equality, as well as the peaceful co-existence of all nationalities, religions and races through the ideology and philosophy of a democratic nation.
In order to ensure the safety and security of the leader who has been struggling the battle of unity and systematic isolation for more than 21 years, after being touched by the hand of treachery through an international conspiracy on February 15, 1999, where he was captured, and sent to Imrali Island to be away from his family, friends, lawyer to face the isolation imposed on him since 2011 is in a clear violation of international human rights conventions.
We have heard through a statement from the Foreign Minister of the Turkish State the burning of forests on Imrali Island, where leader Abdullah Ocalan is being held, and that the rescue teams did not reach the place of the fires because of the bad weather, this was our concern and fear for his security and safety because the Turkish state and the authorities supervising the prison of Imrali did not do its duty, where it is supposed to announce the status of the leader and allowing his family and lawyer to check on him, what the Turkish state is doing towards leader Abdullah Ocalan is totally contrary to international human rights charters and international conventions on the rights of prisoners, especially principles on Detention that states that:
All prisoners have the right to communicate with the outside world (their families, friends and lawyers)
Prisoners are placed in a prison near their homes.
As well as the minimum model rules that state:
Prisons should have a safe environment for everyone living in prisons.
No one in prison should fear for their physical integrity.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states:
All persons deprived of their liberty are treated at all times with human treatment, respect for a person's dignity, no one may be subjected to torture, degrading treatment or cruel or inhuman punishment and there is no exception to this.
We therefore hold the Turkish state fully responsible for the safety and security of leader Abdullah Ocalan and invite all international human rights organizations, particularly the European Committee against Torture (CPT), to undertake its duty and responsibilities in the face of the intellectual, psychological and physical torture of leader Abdullah Ocalan, as we demand. UN Committee Against Torture (CAT) and the other human rights organizations are pressuring the Turkish state to disclose the status of leader Abdullah Ocalan and allow his family and lawyer to visit him."

Amy's Creative Pursuits: Wishing You Joy!
Oh, I'm so tired. I closed the store last night, drove an hour home, and got only five hours of sleep because I had to be back at the store by 7:00 a.m. My husband and I were suppose to go out and celebrate my son's 18th birthday tonight, because I work again tomorrow which his actual birthday, but instead I came home to a note on the table that he was tubing down the Eau Claire river with friends and wouldn't be home till late. Hmm. I guess celebrating your 18th birthday with your parents isn't cool. LOL! I was actually relieved, because I'm way too tired for the hour long drive BACK to Eau Claire for dinner and a movie. Supper on my comfy couch, wearing my cozy pj's, and watching a Pay-Per-View movie sounds much more appealing. LOL!
I made today's card for the sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers. The image is a digital image from Digital Stamp Oasis. It is colored with Copic Markers and mounted up on dimensionals. The designer paper is the new Rich Razzleberry color from Stampin Up. When I first saw this sketch, I wasn't sure I liked it, it looked very complicated and tricky to me. But once I got going, I realized it was much simpler than it looked, and I really like it now. I guess thats why they call them challenges...they force you out of your comfort zone! LOL!
Amy these papers are BEAUTIFUL!! Oh my girl love your take on this sketch your image and those clips are soooo cute!!!
Boy oh boy teenagers, my son 15 barely likes us to take him shopping...LOL!! Hugs!
Sometimes it's nice to just sit at home in those PJ's....hope you enjoyed your movie.
LOVE the razzleberry colors in your card, and that mushroom image is sweet!!
Ahhhh sitting in the comfort of thine own home sounds wonderful. My daughter's 18th birthday was yesterday.. She is away at college. Super job on this tough sketch. Love the image. I really like the way you added the sentiment. Hope you get some rest..
BEAUTIFUL creation Amy!! Love your color choice! PLEASE get some rest ... I don't know how you even find time to make a card between your work schedule, family and those amazing gardens of yours! Take care!
Super cute card! Love the colors of the paper!
This is so adorable! I love the layout, paper color and mushrooms are always so fun on cards. Hope the movie was a good one!
What a fun image and I like the sketch you paired it with.
You drive an hour to work each way? Then you have all that stress of actually being at work. Yikes!

Dating all the way back to the 1400's when it was first called spun sugar, cotton candy has been a favorite treat for young and old alike at carnivals, fairs and the circus. Now December 7th celebrates this sweet delight as it is National Cotton Candy Day. Each year on December 7th, cotton candy lovers look forward to celebrating the day as they pull puffs of cotton candy from a stick or out of a bag and reminisce about their childhood days.
Dentist William Morrison and confectioner John C. Wharton are credited for the invention of machine-spun cotton candy in 1897.
Cotton candy is also called candy floss or fairy floss.
During the 18th century when cotton candy (spun sugar) was first recorded in Europe, it was very expensive and labor-intensive and generally was not available to the average person. It was after the invention of machine-spun cotton candy that it was introduced to a wide audience at the 1904 World's Fair as Fairy Floss. People loved it and bought over 68,000 boxes for 25 cents a box.
Cotton candy is still popular to this day!
Enjoy some cotton candy and use #NationalCottonCandyDay to post on social media.
Within our research, we were unable to find the creator and the origin of National Cotton Candy Day.


I interviewed with a company under the premise that my schedule would be Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. However, they sent out official schedules yesterday and my schedule was set as Tuesday-Saturday 2pm-11pm which doesn't work for me because I take care of my special needs grandfather while my mother works. How should I go about emailing my manager about this? Sidenote: I've started training with the company 12/3 and they just send out schedules 12/6.
However, they sent out official schedules yesterday and my schedule was set as Tuesday-Saturday 2pm-11pm which doesn't work for me because I take care of my special needs grandfather while my mother works. How should I go about emailing my manager about this?
Don't email - use the telephone.
Explain that you expected your schedule to be Monday-Friday 9am-5pm, based on what you heard during your interviews.
Explain that this is important to you, since you take care of your special needs grandfather in the evening.
It may be that they just made a mistake in the schedule (the most likely answer). It may be that you misunderstood during the interview process. It may be that the late schedule is only temporary. Who knows.
Be prepared with a response if the schedule they gave you is what they now expect you to work, for whatever reason. If your grandfather's care isn't flexible, then you may need to find a new job.
I assume you have the original schedule in writing or at least your interviewers name.
Refer to that schedule when you tell them what you just told us.
Most likely it was just one arm not knowing what the other does or that it got lost during shift planning.
Could also be a way for them to test the waters to find out how important your schedule is to you.

Pollen analysis has provided a basic framework for the environment of the Roman Iron Age. Despite attempts by some palynologists to suggest otherwise (e.g. Dumayne and Barber 1994), major forest clearance linked to the extension of agriculture is a late Iron Age phenomenon unrelated to the arrival of Roman forces (Hanson 1996; Tipping 1997). What remains in debate is the extent of (and motives behind) that clearance, and the size and, indeed, location of the Caledonian forest which features in Roman literary accounts as early as the writings of Pliny in the mid-first century AD (Breeze 1992).
Although a lot of basic environmental work has been done in relation to individual recently-excavated fort sites (e.g. Dickson 1989; Clapham 2007), providing evidence of diet and food supply, there has been no systematic, synthetic study. The major debate concerns the extent to which primary bulk foodstuffs (cereals and, to a lesser extent, meat) were obtained locally, rather than imported. Unfortunately, animal bone evidence from Scotland is notorious for its paucity, linked to the general acidity of the soils, making it hard to assess any evidence for stock improvement or the intriguing suggestion by Stallibrass (2009) that droving may have been an element of supply patterns. Wherever possible local supply of cereals seems to have been preferred (Manning 1975), and there are very occasional hints in the archaeobotanical evidence from fort sites which lend support to such a suggestion, including the appearance of unprocessed or only partly processed cereals. On the supply side, recent work on environmental evidence from indigenous settlement sites in the Lothians indicates that emmer and spelt wheat were potentially available locally, with barley in abundance (Huntley 2000; Huntley and O'Brien 2009; Lelong and MacGregor 2007).
Though there are limited examples of field systems known outside forts (e.g. Carriden, Croy Hill, Rough Castle, Auchendavy, Inveresk, Castledykes), the character of their relationship with the fort remains speculative. Some have been sampled by excavation, and some dated to the Roman period as a result (e.g. Inveresk; Cook 2004), but there has been no systematic study. The fields at Auchendavy, if correctly identified as such from the limited sampling, lie north of the Antonine Wall (Dunwell et al. 2002, 274-279).

Excavation suggests that most fort sites were provided with internal wells, though clay water-pipes have been recorded at Newstead, and traces of aqueducts noted at Fendoch and Carpow. However, there has been no systematic attempt to identify external water sources. For sustenance in material terms, seen in the evidence for craft production, see section 5.6.
Environmental data from both Roman military and late pre-Roman and Roman Iron Age indigenous settlement sites needs to be synthesised.
Trial excavation is needed to confirm the relationship of the field system and temporary camp at Castledykes and further geophysical survey is required at Auchendavy to establish the extent of the postulated field system.
Systematic study of the wider landscapes of forts is required.
Appropriate levels of standard, systematic environmental sampling should be undertaken for any excavation projects, with a particular attention paid to those with waterlogging or good bone preservation.


Lord guide my thoughts and my heart as I seek you. Give me wisdom beyond what I'm capable of doing, and understanding to know what I should do.
I was lead to read James. I read James 1, and it touched upon some things that I am trying to decide. Currently, Dani and I are still unsure what decision(s) to make. Germany could change our lives. And so I'm struggling with all of the changes that brings. So, from James, I will start with a challenge and an encouragement.
I ask for wisdom. I feel that if I am going to ask for something, it should be that. And so I do. And it seems that James encourages that prayer. But the hard part for me is believing that it will be given. Or believing that is has been given. Wisdom isn't easy to measure, and it usually is best revealed with time. So for me, I must pursue wisdom fervently, or be in danger of falling off this new path I'm choosing to walk.
Let me know I am making right decisions. Help guide my steps, my words, my actions. I will follow you, no more doubting or selfish ways. My heart longs to live.
Apparently I am called to live a life of pursuit, a life filled with principles beyond myself. I can not do it on my own. I know that. I've tried that; it doesn't work. I guess there is some wisdom in falling down. So, there is one thing I can use to help me along the way, to help light my feet—the word. Pure. Unadulterated. Holy. And in that pursuit there will be release, freedom.
Now I have two things I know to be true, and worth seeking, two things I know I must have to begin this journey, this metamorphosis outside the boundaries—the word and faith. I walk blindly, but these will help guide my way.

Both the academic community and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education are interested in Polish scientific periodicals, their condition, value and methods of assessment. The need for assessment of scientific periodicals is commonly accepted; what is criticised is the way in which they are assessed, in particular the use of parametric methods. Representatives of exact sciences and natural sciences widely believe that the best measure of quality of a publication is the so-called ISI Master Journal List. Representatives of the humanities do not entirely share this view.
Since 1998 the Ministry of Science and Higher Education has been publishing A list of selected periodicals with scores..., which is a component of a parametric assessment of publications of Polish academic institutions, affecting their classification and amount of subsidies. In addition, it is to be an indicator of prestige and a guarantee of high quality of publications.
The author discusses the procedure for creating the ministerial lists of periodicals and the criteria used in the assessment of periodicals, pointing to those solutions that may raise justified objections.

The muscles that you use during a freestyle swim are different from the muscles used with other swimming strokes. Since your arms reach forward throughout the freestyle stroke, you rely on your core muscles to stabilize yourself as you propel yourself through the water with your arms and legs. Strengthening your freestyle muscles away from the pool can make you a stronger, faster swimmer.
The most visible portion of the freestyle stroke is the arm motion. During this motion, you bring one arm over your head and put it into the water. At the same time, your other arm propels you underneath your body. Many different parts of your arm work at once in the stroke. Your hand and forearm muscles go into the water and become the actual vessel that propels you. Your shoulders, biceps and triceps work together to move your hands and forearms by forcing them through the water.
As you swim, the front part of your body's trunk helps with most of the movements. Your pectoral muscles, side muscles and abdominal muscles all work to pull your arms through the water. They also work during the recovery phase of the stroke, as you reach your front arm out as far as possible. A good freestyle stroke includes a hip roll, which involves your obliques and abdominal muscles.
Your back muscles, traps, spinal cord supports and rhomboid muscles all work to stabilize the body throughout the swimming stroke. Without these stabilizing muscles, you could not propel yourself through the water with your arms. As you swim, gravity pushes your legs farther into the water, while your body's buoyancy pushes your chest out of the water. This slows you down in the pool, so using your back to keep yourself horizontal allows you to maximize your speed. You also use these muscles as you roll your hips through the stroke while switching arms. A good hip roll helps you to breathe, and the muscles of your upper back help you to get your head above water far enough to take a breath.
Kicking helps greatly during the freestyle stroke, since it takes some of the strain away from the rest of your body. Your quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves, shins and foot muscles all work hard during the stroke and propel your body through the water. The kicking motion comes in two stages, as you kick upward and downward, with each stage using a different set of muscles.

Although I'm following the documentation, I have the legend only at the top of the graph.
How can I put the legend on the right?

A: Few things wrong with your code:

*

*Legend namespace was in v2 place instead of v3, in v3 it has been moved to options.plugins.legend

*Scales where defined as arrays which is v2 syntax, in v3 all scales are their own object where the scale ID is the object key

*backgroundColorHover is not a valid property, you should use the hoverBackgroundColor to define that color, also to make it the same color on hover you shouldnt define it as null but instead define it as the same color.

*The beginAtZero is not defined in the ticks but on the root of the scale now, but since it does nothing on a category scale I have removed it.

For all changes between v2 and v3 you can read the migration guide
Since scale config now works to make it more clean you can remove all the unecesarry stacks in each dataset, also you dont have to specify that its a bar dataset since the default type takes care of that. You only need to specify it if you are deviating from it.
