Captain Breezy Grenier, FRGS
July 2019 • On Watch
© Cynthia Matzke
Following her credo, "Work like a captain, wear your hair like a mermaid, keep your soul like a gypsy, and live like a pirate," Breezy Grenier is a U.S. Coast Guard veteran, 100-ton Master captain, snowboarding instructor, scuba instructor, scientific and technical diver, and marine science educator. And probably the only Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society [FRGS] and member of The Explorers Club who's snorkeled the Northwest Passage and worn a bikini at the North Pole.
"I always knew I was destined for life on the water," says Breezy. "Growing up in Connecticut, with three ponds on our property, I was always catching frogs and fish, swimming, rowing, and ice-skating. I was curious about everything to do with the water, and as I grew my ponds continued to grow. In high school I was part of Project CLEAR, an educational program that included conducting field research on Candlewood Lake. Learning about how much we didn't know about the lake, and seeing pollution firsthand, further triggered my curiosity in the fields of science and exploration."
"After high school, I enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard. My first duty station was on the USCGC Hickory, a buoy tender in Homer, Alaska. My first time above the Arctic Circle, I was in awe of the beauty and inspired by how the communities rely not only on themselves but an environment that's been labeled harsh by others. During my time underway, in some of the most remote places on the planet, I quickly realized the vast problem of marine debris and abandoned infrastructure our polar region is facing."
A former dockmaster at Ballard's Marina on Block Island, Breezy earned degrees in Geology and Geological Oceanography (with minors in Marine Biology and Underwater Archaeology) from the University of Rhode Island, but found herself 'overqualified.' "As a business entrepreneur, I learned that by serving as a contractor I'd have a flexible schedule to help take care of my parents. [Breezy's mother suffers from severe dementia brought on by Lyme disease and her father was recently diagnosed with multiple stage four cancers.] "My contracts have brought me around the world, from the North Pole to Antarctica. Coining the title Ocean M.E.S.E (Marine, Educator, Scientist, Explorer), I take jobs as captain, marine science technician, educator, or scientist."
Breezy's worked on a variety of motor and sailing vessels. "In my spare time, I deliver lectures and workshops on polar and deep-sea science and exploration to schools and social groups around the East Coast. Right now, I'm a training captain (instructor) at In-Command Seamanship Training Center in Wickford, Rhode Island, and I'm working on the Baltic 55 Fearless, doing restoration work and preparing her for the Transatlantic and Fastnet races, before heading back to the High Arctic this August with One Ocean Expeditions."
"Last year, I joined the Sedna Epic Expedition as an ocean scientist and educator, on their third preliminary expedition to the Canadian and Greenlandic High Arctic. Sedna Epic's goal is to complete a world record-breaking 3,000-kilometer snorkel relay of the Northwest Passage to raise global awareness of climate change. In addition to the challenges of snorkeling through frigid waters, each expedition builds local community support by developing Inuit and Inuvialuit leaders to tackle societal and climate change; creating a space for young women and girls to excel in the sciences, arts and exploration; and combining aboriginal and scientific knowledge to mitigate global warming. If you want to get involved, we're looking for an ice-rated diving support vessel!"
Breezy has signed on with eXXpedition Round the World, an all-female sailing voyage and scientific research mission to explore plastics and toxins in our oceans. "RTW begins this October," she says, "and will cover 38,000 miles, broken into 30 legs, over the next two years. I'm joining the first leg, from the United Kingdom to the Azores. I'm excited to help raise awareness and contribute to collecting valuable data. Life at sea is always unpredictable, but I always know I'll see plastic debris…and hopefully we can inspire change. If you'd like to contribute, you can at gofundme.com/BreezySeasRTW."
A sometime resident of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, Breezy's launched two exciting projects. "Having been an instructor for 16 years, teaching snowboarding and scuba diving, and presenting lectures and workshops, I've seen a growing inability in children's critical thinking skills and mobile dexterity, and a loss of interest in the outdoors. I created Scientists are Superheroes Too, a student resource to help change the scientist stereotype, inspire kids to go outside, explore and play sports, engage and empower them to climate actions, and promote healthy and environmentally sustainable lifestyles."
"During my lectures with elders, I've noticed a disconnect between senior citizens and youth. I have many elderly friends with a wealth of knowledge, skills, and appreciation for quality over quantity. I wanted to help them share their experience, so I developed Eco-Elders, which promotes connecting generations by creating a knowledge exchange aimed at 'reducing and reusing' to combat our ocean plastics problem. Please follow along on Facebook, @scientistsaresuperheroes and @ecoelders, and my website, BreezySeas.com."
"Every time I'm on the water I experience something new. Nothing's better than sunrises and sunsets painting the sky, and nights where you can't tell the difference between the starry sky and glistening water. And going beneath the sea is entering a whole new world. Ninety-five percent of the ocean is unexplored…that figure just blows my mind!" ■

Parts of Bandipur Tiger Reserve, which faced its worst wildfire a week ago, on Monday received a good spell of rain bringing a much-needed relief for the forest personnel, who had a torrid time in containing the fire.
Gopalaswami Hill, Melukamanahalli, Maguvinahalli, Hangala, Gopalapura, Deverahalli, Kundukere and Bandipur ranges of forests experienced thunderstorm for 45 minutes on Monday evening.
With Bandipur safari resuming last week, the showers would check the rising dust and bring down the soaring temperatures, said forest personnel.
Hampapura in HD Kote taluk, Mysuru district, also received showers on Monday evening, bringing cheers among the farmers and the people. The people hope the rains continue for a couple of days and replenish the depleting water table.

MASSDEVICE ON CALL — The FDA issued it's highest-risk Class I warning after Thoratec (NSDQ:THOR) recalled its HeartMate II implantable heart pumps over a controller issue that the FDA said was associated 4 patient deaths and 5 serious injuries.
Thoratec initiated the recall early last month, affecting devices distributed from August 2012 through this year, according to the FDA notice.
The patient injury reports were tied to instances in which the patients attempted to swap their HeartMate II LVAS devices from an older controller to the Pocket System Controller.
"These patients did not receive intensive training on connecting the new controller," according to the warning. "The design differences between the EPC System Controller and the Pocket System Controller require a different approach to how the device is connected. If the controller is not properly connected, the device cannot function."
The HeartMate II LVAS devices rely on the controllers to help power the implant, which helps circulate blood throughout the body, taking the load off the heart which may be too weak to circulate blood on its own. The defects arose when patients attempted to switch to a newer controller that became available more recently.
Thoratec plans to update its labeling and training materials and has asked patients to undergo new training on use of their devices.

Q: Using phone number from a different subaccount to call I have this specific Twilio use-case :-
Customer C1 calls Twilio Number T1.
Call is received on T1 and it dials out to Customer C2, but C2 should see call coming from Twilio number T2 (Another number that I own but it lies in a different subaccount).
Now I know that if T1 and T2 belonged to the same subaccount, I could have used T2 as callerId while dialing out, something like :-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Response>
        <Dial timeout="180" callerId="_fromNumber" record="_recordflag" action="_actionURL" >_toNumber</Dial>
</Response>

Here _fromNumber would have been T2. But since T1 and T2 don't belong to the same subaccount. I wasn't able to do it. Receiving :-
com.twilio.sdk.TwilioRestException: The source phone number provided, +1abc-efg-hijk, is not yet verified for your account. You may only make calls from phone numbers that you've verified or purchased from Twilio.

Is there a way I can achieve this using Master Keys ? I found that someone tried to achieve something similar here : Can I use a subaccount's number when making outgoing calls in Twilo
But since I am not the initiator of this call, that solution doesn't work for me.

A: This is a more complicated approach but here is what you could do. When C1 calls T1, place him on a conference room. Hold music could be ring tone to make the callers experience seamless. Then Using the REST API spawn an outbound call to C2. At this point you could use the appropriate credentials to instantiate the client, and use the desired caller id. When C2 answers simply dial into the conference room, and you have both parties connected.

Multiple articles are written to greatly help some one get through an affair, but you will find perhaps not numerous articles which let you know how exactly to get over dating somebody else's spouse. The truth is, not all relationships end in a delighted ending. And even though the guy you are dating can persuade you which he's going to keep their spouse and they are spilling once and for all, often that could never be what';s taking place behind the scenes. If you should be dating a married guy and want to slip up we will show you how to get this done in a few simple steps with him.
Most men that are married prompt you to the promise that they are planning to keep their wife and therefore there's nothing intimate taking place among them and their life. It's not hard to be seduced by these fake promises, particularly if you just like the individual you are seeing. It really is harder to acknowledge that there is a opportunity that your particular partner has done this before and isn't likely to make any tries to split up or divorce their spouse. Focus on in the event your new significant other has held his promises, or if perhaps he could be all talk. This is often a great indication of whether he is being truthful about seeing you time that is full.
Being in a relationship with a married guy can make us feel as if you're on cloud nine because the contact you have got is quite brief. What this means is you haven't had an opportunity to see what he is like around other folks, buddies, and his family. You may only be getting one part of their character, in addition to other sides are split between you and other folks around him. That is why it is important to think about knowing exactly what he is like when he is with his wife or young ones. Must you insert your self into exactly what it will be like if you decide to live with him full time, would the connection nevertheless be well suited for you?
You could take pleasure in the time that you re worthy of having their full attention that you get to have with him, but you also need to remind yourself. Also you may not have the guts to demand a full-time relationship with the man that you're seeing if https://myrussianbride.net you enjoy your brief encounters with this person. This could find yourself affecting your self-esteem, and you might perhaps not believe you will be in a full-time commitment or trusting relationship. Remind yourself that anybody who would like to see you and set up to you regular probably cares about you profoundly together with emotions are true. A person who would like to conceal you away could have concealed agendas.
If you have made the last range of spilling down your relationship having a married guy, then chances are you should make sure you're breaking it well once and for all. One method to allow it to be clear in person that you want to end the relationship is to do it. If you're attempting to get it done over the telephone or text, the message might not be clear. They should have the ability to see just what this relationship is doing for you and just how it's inside your feelings. About you, they will be able to let you go if they're not serious about being with you long term if they care.
Avoid using language that can hint there is something more again later on into the relationship. You intend to end it strong by making it clear which you';re separating using them as well as for good. Making use of terms like 'maybe' or 'one time' or 'what if' may hint at there is a possibility it will work call at the conclusion. That will wind up causing them to persuade you to definitely remain in this relationship that is secret longer. That you do not wish to turn out to be the side chick forever, and also you deserve better.
The last tip to splitting down from the married guy is not to resolve their texts or phone calls if they reach out following the breakup. That features you texting or calling them. You need to inform you to both yourself and them that this relationship has ended and done with. You don't have to keep an opening in order for them to persuade you otherwise. You back, they would split from their other life and already be by your side if they were serious about getting.
You are not the bad guy in terms of dating a married man, whether you were alert to it or otherwise not. Fundamentally the husband decided he swore he would love the rest of his life that he was going to be loyal to the wife. If you believe that him being to you will be any unique of the spouse's place, you might need certainly to reconsider dating married guys period. They may be cheating for the reason, and due to this, they will certainly probably cheat you get together on you when. You are worth significantly more than whatever they're valuing your self at, and you also deserve to stay a loving, caring relationship.


Even though I got to bed later than I wanted, I was wide awake at 6:30. It dawned on me that I didn't have any coughing fits during the night; & that I actually got some meaningful sleep. Sweet! I could see sunlight coming through a slit in the drapes; I just had to take a peek to see if we were 'there' yet. We were still positioning ourselves at the pier. It looked like it was going to be a gloriously beautiful day.
Since I had leftover pasta from last night's dinner, there was no need to rush off & find anything for breakfast. I made do with that; dressed & went down to the lobby first thing to exchange some money. The ship arranged for Travelex to set up a desk from 8 – 12 so that we could exchange US dollars for AUS dollars ($1.10 US to $1.00 AUS). We had been discouraged of trying to use any US currency, even for tipping. So, I got enough to have small bills for the next week.
As I was getting off the elevator I saw one of the sweet photographer girls that I say 'hi' to every morning. I told her of my camera problem; & she said I should bring it by later in the evening. I pulled the camera out of my bag & told her briefly what it was(n't) doing. Her first thought ….. it could be an internal software problem, a speck of dirt blocking the zoom lens? I asked if they sold any REAL nice cameras onboard. Just mainly point & shoot……which I don't need. Hmmmmm.
My city panorama tour (NTL-AW) departed from the Stardust at 8:30; the gangway was right from the Crystal Cove lobby on deck 5. There was a nice breeze; mid 70's; perfect IMO. There were 3 buses for this tour. I like the fact that Crystal doesn't cram the buses full; & I usually have no competition when it comes to getting a seat on the back row. I can have the whole back row to myself; both sides of the bus. Our guide (Malcolm) & our driver (Simon) were very personable, helpful to the old folks & didn't talk your ear off.
During our scenic drive, Malcolm explained that Newcastle also came to being as a penal colony. Because of the deep water harbor they are able to export a lot of goods: aluminum, grain, & coal (lots of it…..110 million tons of it each year). The port area has many tall silos holding grain; rows & rows of aluminum lined up at the dock & cargo ships loading & unloading. We drove down Hunter St. (the main drag); & it's a cute town atmosphere with tons of restaurants & all types of single story business interests.
Except for the million dollar houses that have beach views, all the rest look very normal & quaint. With their tiny yard, lots of flowers & some with tin roofs. During this part of the ride, I began to fiddle with my 'good' camera; I was thinking about what Christie said. I had a plastic toothpick in my billfold; & I very gently ran it around the space where the lens recesses into the camera body. It met no resistance, nothing seemed to come loose. Yet, when I turned the power on…..out popped the zoom lens. Hallelujah….hallelujah!!! I was as thrilled as Christmas morning. Was afraid to turn the camera off at first, thinking I was just imagining this. But it continued to work the rest of the day. God/Buddha willing, it will perform well for the rest of the journey.
We made a photo stop at Newcastle & Bar Beaches. The surf was pounding; & there were ample bodies out there on their boards waiting for that perfect wave.
Our next stop was at Blackbutt Reserve, a natural bushland area in the suburbs where they exhibit & rehabilitate certain species of wildlife. I was disappointed to see a sign as soon as I walked in, the koalas which sleep almost all day, would not be awake until 2 pm for their 'photo op'. So, no live koalas today. But I did see quite a few emu (a tall bird that slightly resembles an ostrich but with 'brillo pad' looking plumage). I saw a good number of kangaroo, beautiful birds of unknown origin perched in the low trees & several peacocks running amongst us. There is a small play area at the entrance; & it seemed to be a gathering place for mothers with young children. A few of us sat in the shady area & chatted with them until it was time to go back to the bus.
BTW, there has been a young family onboard since LA. The couple has the most precious little girl that has stolen the hearts of all the passengers & crew. Grandma is with them; & they've been on several of my tours. They are a fun loving family; & the little girl talks & "hi-5's" everybody. I think everyone will be sad to see them leave the ship tomorrow in Sydney.
While we were at Blackbutt, it started getting cloudy & a lot windier. I fully expected rain; but it never came thank goodness. Our last stop was at Fort Scratchley, which was built in 1882 to protect the city from invading forces. There are fortified walls & bunkers with canons.
The view of the Hunter River where it flows into the Tasman Sea is lovely; & the surf is mighty. Our tour came to an end about 11:45 (a little earlier than publicized). I think quite a few were anxious to get back to the ship to see what was left of the Super Bowl Game (which had started at 10:30 am).
The Hollywood Theatre was decorated & a hospitality area was set up just outside.
They were serving popcorn, hot dogs & all the fixins'. They even had free drinks. My timing was perfect, since the main attraction for me was the halftime show. And I took my seat with a nice cool beer just as Madonna took the stage. The game was being shown in other rooms on the ship; & I was surprised that there were not a lot more people in the theatre. Maybe some of them had gone for a lunch break.
I went up to the Lido for some lunch about 1:30. I had some salad, shrimp cocktail, a piece of weiner schnitzel with lingonberry sauce; & one bite of a very soggy pastrami sandwich. They also had a little ramekin of shepherd's pie, which I had hoped would be as good as what I had in the dining room yesterday. One bite told me, it was not.
Jamshed brought his plate over & sat down a little while. He had to rush back & pack for his journey back to CA tomorrow morning. We said our goodbyes; & I was back at the cabin to start editing photos. I could have spent hours on them; but I really wanted to go back to the theatre & see the movie, "The Help". I had meant to see it back home; & never got around to it. Such a fabulous movie; I had tears in my eyes when I walked out.
I grabbed my camera & went out to the aft deck for sailaway at 5. The wind had whipped up; it was very chilly even with my sweater on. Capt. Glenn had mentioned there would be a surprise salute as we sailed out of the harbor; but we didn't know exactly what.
Just before we hit the breakwater, we were passing under Fort Scratchley. And we were treated to a 3 canon salute from the very canons I had just photographed. I suppose since this is a maiden call for Crystal, Newcastle felt that was a fitting send off. It gave me goose bumps; & was quite moving. I couldn't stay out long; had to come in & turn the A/C off to warm up.
I did some work on the blog before I placed my dinner order. I had showered & was in my PJ's by the time Liz returned with dinner at 8:45. Tonight, I had dessert first (since it was perishable)…..a treat called 'chocolate & peanut butter express'. It was a small piece of peanut butter cake with peanut butter ice cream & peanut brittle broken up on top. Excellent!
I tackled the entrée next, since it needed to be eaten hot. It was rare prime rib with horseradish; polenta & roasted root vegetables (carrots, white & sweet potatoes, zucchini). Nicely tender; & I love their polenta.
I had asked for an appetizer portion of the pasta special (which will end up being my breakfast tomorrow). It was spaghetti with one third topped with tomato sauce, one third with Bolognese sauce & one third with a mushroom sauce. I gave it a small taste; & it is delightful.
My home away from home. My cabin 8133 is circled.
We only have to sail a little over 100 miles to reach Sydney; & we're barely creeping along. The wind is making the sea a little choppy, which should make for nice sleeping. The Capt. had said we will start entering the harbor around 6 (a little before sunrise). He suggested being up & out right away to photograph the Sydney Opera House. I'm pretty pooped; & not sure I want to set my alarm any earlier than I have to for my morning tour. Maybe just leave the drapes open a little so that the sunlight will wake me up. I am so thankful that I finally felt 'good' today. The weather cooperated; the camera is working again; & I greatly enjoyed my introduction to Australia with the lovely city of Newcastle.

Kohli's magnificent century leads to India's victory
By Kersi Meher-Homji
It is always a treat to see Virat Kohli smash a hundred. This is because whenever he hits a mighty ton India wins.
This happened in Chennai last night in the fourth One-Day International (ODI) when India defeated South Africa by 35 runs to level the series two-all.
India had lost her fast-scoring openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan cheaply but first Kohli and Rahane (45 runs) and then Kohli and Suresh Raina (53) took control.
Kohli's 138 off 140 balls was a delight to watch as he slammed six fours and five sixes and India totalled 8 for 299.
It was Kohli's 23rd century in ODIs and the first against South Africa. Out of form in recent months, it was his first century in ODIs in 14 matches.
Despite skipper AB de Villier's spirited 112, South Africa fell 35 runs short, thanks to Bhuvneshwar Kumar capturing three wickets and spinners Harbhajan Singh, Amit Mishra and Axar Patel tying the visiting batsmen down and eventually dismissing them.
Kohli was adjudged Man of the Match. At the presentation India's skipper MS Dhoni paid him this complement, "Virat is somebody, right from the very start "" and not today, I'm talking about the ODIs when he started "" he was always someone who was very keen on improving his game. And even when he would get out scoring a 60 or a 70, he wanted to convert it into a hundred.
"Just watching how he plays his 50 to 60 and 100 to 110 "" because a lot of times these are the brackets where you see a lot of batsmen getting out. So once he crosses that, with the kind of mindset he has, he will always play a big innings."
On Sunday is the series-deciding fifth and final ODI in Mumbai on Sunday. It will be a screamer as both teams are well-matched.
The first three ODIs in India this month had six-appeal. Four out of six innings in the first three ODIs finished with sixes. These were hit by South Africa's captain AB de Villiers in the first ODI in Kanpur, by India's captain MS Dhoni in the second ODI in Indore and by Farhaan Behardien (SA) and Axar Patel (India) in the third ODI in Rajkot.
The ODIs will be followed by four Tests, starting in Mohali on 5 November.

Ralph Torres – NMI
The Honorable Ralph DLG. Torres is the 9th Governor of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, serving alongside Lieutenant Governor Arnold I. Palacios, and the youngest Governor in the United States of America at 40 years old.
Prior to this new term in office, Governor Torres served alongside Lt. Governor Victor B. Hocog, as Lieutenant Governor under Governor Eloy S. Inos, as President of the 18th Northern Marianas Commonwealth Senate, and as the Chairman of the Committee on Health and Welfare in the 17th Northern Marianas Commonwealth House of Representatives.
Born on August 6, 1979, Governor Torres was raised on the island of Saipan until his family moved to Boise, Idaho where he attended high school. He attended Boise State University and earned his bachelor's degree in Political Science.
Following the unfortunate passing of Governor Inos in late 2015, Governor Torres ascended to the governorship of the CNMI on December 29, 2015.
As Governor, he serves as the Co-Chair of the Strategic Economic Development Council, which brings together public and private sector leaders to discuss critical economic development policies. Through this role, he has actively advocated for economic and labor legislation for the CNMI in Washington, DC with Members of Congress and the White House. He was instrumental in the passage of the Northern Mariana Islands US Workforce Act of 2018, which provided for effective wage protection for US workers, an acknowledgement of CNMI long-term guest workers, stronger development of local US workforce capacity, and allows for a substantial labor pool for the CNMI's ongoing economic development. Through his work in promoting the CNMI, he led formal agreements with Skymark Airlines for Saipan to become the airlines' first international destination and the first Japan-based air carrier to provide direct flights from Tokyo since 2005.
He is married to Diann Mendiola Tudela Torres and has six children: Ralph Anthony, Vaniqa Marie, Deon Titus, Tristan Dane, Divannie, and Ryan Jayz.

A San Jose teenager has been arrested for a felony DUI after causing a one-vehicle accident mid Friday afternoon.
According to Mercury News, the 15-year-old was driving a 2004 Lexus RX330 on State Road 156 when he drove onto the shoulder and hit a fence. The teenager, whose name is not being released because he is a minor, was not injured; however, 49-year-old Steven Gonzales, the teen's passenger and owner of an unnamed marijuana dispensary in San Jose, broke both of his legs as a result of the accident.
Gonzales was taken to the hospital where he was later arrested for illegally possessing a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia at the time of the crash as well as being under the influence of drugs. The teen was arrested for felony DUI and was taken to juvenile hall.

Business model and content[edit]
The Spinoff began as a TV blog sponsored by the streaming platform Lightbox: it has expanded to a multi-platform news site which also publishes current affairs newsletters, podcasts and online video series.
'Spinoff Members' offering a range of benefits to subscribers, was launched in 2019.[3]
Managing editor Duncan Greive announced The Spinoff was sharing content with the New Zealand Herald in July 2020.[4]
"Our business model is partnership and sponsorship and we make it clear when our content is funded in that way. When our journalists are not writing for a partner, they are writing whatever they want. We give them implicit license because they know what makes good content and we know what our audience is interested in," Greive told business journalist Tash McGill.[5]
During the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020–21, The Spinoff began working with the World Health Organisation (WHO), after a WHO communications officer saw their series of widely shared Covid-19 public health illustrations. These were part of a series of pieces explaining Covid-19, in a collaboration between cartoonist Toby Morris and the microbiologist Dr Siouxsie Wiles. The Spinoff released the pair's Covid illustrations and animations to Wikimedia Commons, where they have been picked up by public health services around the world. The illustrations have been published in te reo Māori and English by The Spinoff.[6][7]
In 2019, The Spinoff received funding from Creative New Zealand to commission articles on contemporary New Zealand art and artists.[8] The art section is edited by New Zealand critics Mark Amery and Megan Dunn.[9]

The Mercedes second floor that infuriated rival teams in Canada
The sudden appearance of a second experimental floor stay on the Mercedes W13 at the Canadian Grand Prix infuriated many rival teams, but most notably Alpine. But Mercede's rather fast response actions caught the attention of rival teams, who raised the possibility of a protest.
#lewishamilton#georgerussel#mercedes#alpine#canada#fia
The sudden appearance of a second experimental floor stay on the Mercedes W13 at the Canadian Grand Prix infuriated many rival teams, but most notably Alpine.
On Thursday, before the start of the race weekend. The FIA issued a technical directive which would help resolve the porpoising effects. The reason for this technical directive were the health and safety reasons following a number of complaints by drivers that the bouncing was causing them severe pain
The technical directive:
Among the short-term measures in the technical directive, teams were allowed to add a secondary floor stay (which would help the teams to stiffen the floor), having previously agreed the first stay would be permitted in between the pre-season tests.
The late notice of this FIA technical directive meant that no team would be able to react in time to have a second stay on the car in Montreal, but Mercedes did. Mercedes was the only team to take advantage of this technical directive as it tried a temporary solution on George Russell's car FP1 and then on Lewis Hamilton's car during FP2.
Although it has not been known exactly how Mercedes reacted so fast, theoretically it would be possible to take an existing stay, shorten it and put a mounting point on the body and (more inboard) on the floor.
But Mercede's rather fast response actions caught the attention of rival teams, who questioned whether or not not FIA had followed the right processes in allowing the extra stay to be fitted.
The FIA does have the power to amend the regulations mid-season, which it often does with a technical directive. However the normal process involves amending the technical regulations at the same time, which wasn't done. That meant in theory the advisory Technical directive allowing the stay went against the technical regulations, which limits teams to a single stay.
Therefore to avoid any protest threat, Mercedes have dropped the second stay. The team ran this during practice with both Hamilton and Russell, but he reported little to no difference in the porpoising.
Alpine' comments on this issue:
Alpine team boss Otmar Szafnauer's comments about the technical directive and the appearance of an experimental second floor stay at Mercedes made it clear his team was very unhappy with how this FIA intervention has played out so far.
"As far as the process goes, it's a technical directive - and technical directives, as we all know, are not regulations."
"So it could very well be that we shouldn't be running this in qualifying in the race. If teams have brought those stays, I would imagine they could be perhaps looked at after and protested. So it's against the regulation as it stands today.
"We definitely don't have one. And unfortunately, if you do have an extra stay, you can run the car lower and stiffer, and gain some advantage."
Although this appears to be a big fuss over nothing, as it has been a productive effort from Mercedes till now. The experiment was not effective and the second stay did not run for the rest of the weekend
The FIA will likely amend the regulations ahead of the British Grand Prix in two weeks time, with a World Motor Sport Council meeting scheduled to take place ahead of the race weekend.
Although teams have suggested it would not be allowed anyway because the technical directive has been postponed to the next race, but this is only partly true.
Ultimately, if Mercedes experiment didn't work and the stay was never going to be kept on anyway, then the threat of a potential protest is simply not a good answer.

Aufwader's Thoughts: This chapter is special and precious. It has Tarr! It has Nelda's parents and Hesper! All together! I'm emotional!
Aufwader nostalgia aside, I love the little moments of world building that we get here. The devil's paintbox is buried and the witch's names written in the great ledger. Lil now knows about both Shameless Rose, and the secret stairway from Nannie's cottage to the aufwader caves. What marvels will come of that hidden way in Legacy of Witches, I ask myself? What of the Guild of Time Witches of whom Nannie spoke a few chapters previously?
Matt's Thoughts: And nice to see the aufwaders back again. Of course, by this stage, if Nettie and Abel are sweet on each other, then those of us reading the original trilogy will realise that this must be Nelda's Mum and Dad. But by the same token, if you haven't read any of those books, these characters work just as well for new readers.
Another aspect I really love is the way that Nannie Burdon – while being completely different – has stepped into the mentoring role for Lil that Cherry Cerise used to have. You can feel that Lil herself may be one of these middle-aged / older women in the future and that the training she has picked up from not just one but two Whitby witches, will put her in good stead for her future battles against evil.
Unless Whitby is going to settle down and stop having weird stuff happen to it all the time.
Aufwader's Thoughts: What a creepy one! First Silas's clandestine meeting with the Herald (hey Irl, just hang in there my dude, only a century more to go) then Verne being prepared for sinister surgery, and finally Martha's fairytale transformation into Miss Whitby 1890.
Honestly I'm not sure which is more unnerving; Mister Dark's nefarious schemes, or the implication that the Lords of the Deep tampered in some way with Lil's well-meant scarf. As was frequently stated in the first trilogy, the Deep Ones can do literally anything, and we all know how bitter, petty and malign they can be. It doesn't bode well for our spooky happenings duo, nor indeed for ol' Whitby bay.
Matt's Thoughts: That Silas Gull – does he just skulk around until some person with a darkly magical bent comes along and offers him booze? Wasn't he doing all of this in The Whitby Witches? What do the rest of the aufwaders do with him in the decades in-between malignant magicians? Or does he just lurk around the caves full of bitterness, neither completely included or completely ostracised from the world of the aufwaders?
Meanwhile, beauty and tentacles … great combination. Oh yeah, and if you haven't done a Google image search on Frank Meadow Sutcliffe's Whitby photography, you really should. It makes the whole book come alive.
In fact, if I was making a Netflix series of these books, and the crowd had kept up with me through the first two books, I'd almost be tempted to film this one in the same sort of sepia colour just as a nod to the photographs.
Aufwader's Thoughts: What I love about Robin's period pieces is how he manages to be so centred in the era, without it ever feeling forced or gimmicky. Which other middle-grade writer of today would casually include the Ewbank, gigot sleeves, bathing machines, and Frank Meadow Sutcliffe in the same chapter? Very Victorian, one and all, but somehow, none of it feels tacked-on. As a reader I feel like an inhabitant of 1890s Whitby, not a historical tourist. Is it just me? I honestly feel like this is something Robin does exceptionally well.
Matt's Thoughts: I will admit that this chapter finally roused my curiosity enough to research the two gentlemen who feature heavily. The Irishman was an easy enough suspect, but the actor was a little less well-known to me. I'm not sure what degree of information revealing will come later in the book, so I'll leave you to do your own googling for now, but it's a great touch to have these characters tied in.
In fact, it's one of the most enjoyable aspects of the series is that I never thought we'd end up here. I'm not sure what I was expecting with a four-book series set in Whitby: perhaps something like the Whitby Witches series but slightly shorter? But this whole thing of time-travel, historical Whitby, goths, steampunks, 7os disco – and knitting, let's not forget knitting – is something I would never have seen coming. I can barely imagine how you tie this altogether into a finale, but I'm sure it will work.

On jet aircraft the military rates the engines at 80% of their maximum peak power to preserve longevity. It is often referred to as continuous or rated power. Full military power is actually 110% of the rated power of 80% which is 88% of maximum peak power. Otherwise they'll run an extremely high risk of damage to the jet engine.
The Army applies this principle of sustained effort to their soldiers as well. They know they can't push their soldiers at 110% for long periods of time without permanent damage. Wars can only be sustained with fresh troops. The candle that burns twice as bright only burns half as long. Giving 110% has often been misinterpreted as giving more than the maximum when in fact all they are doing is operating at 88% of the maximum peak power.
When applied to people you should think in terms of a person's sustainable output versus their maximum output. Maximum output is ALL that a person is capable of producing without regard for how long they can keep it up. Think of it as a marathon runner as opposed to a sprinter: the marathon runner can run 26 miles at a reasonable pace while the sprinter can only run short distances at a very fast pace.
I once worked for a company that figured out it was cheaper to have their employees consistently work over-time rather than hire more people. If you work 40 hours in a week, then that comes out to be 2080 working hours in a year. Now subtract 10 paid holidays a year (80 hours) and 2 to 4 weeks of vacation every year (80 to 160 hours) and your now down to 1920 to 1840 working hours a year.
While working for them, I would typically HAVE TO work close to 3000 hours a year, which came out to be 50 to 60 hours a week. Sure I earned a lot of money, but eventually I got burned out and my mental and physical health really suffered. After years of that I finally came to realize that all the money in the world won't do you a bit of good if you don't live to enjoy it. Eventually, I quit and found a less stressful job.
The lesson here is that good employers are more concerned with the sustainable, long-term efforts of their employees rather than their unsustainable, short-term efforts. Numerous academic studies have confirmed that any attempt to conistently work more than 40 hours in a week reduces productivity. If you keep asking your employees to give 110% or more, eventually you'll run the risk of permanent damage just like a jet engine.

The press release is one of the most underused forms of marketing out there. And yet they are one of the most effective forms of marketing.
Many companies don't use them because they don't think they have anything newsworthy to talk about. But what about that new website, the new product being launched, the new premises you're moving into, the new boss taking over, the new fleet of vehicles you're using, the charity bike ride you're taking part in? All of that is news and should be broadcast.
Admittedly getting past the eye of the editor can be a challenge, but if your press release is newsworthy and not a thinly veiled advert, you'll stand a very good chance of getting it published. And of course, don't forget the online press release outlets. These are not only easier to get published on, they also provide those much coveted one way back links to your website that are so important for search engine optimisation.
This might sound obvious but it is vital. Check, check, check – this press release is representing your company. If it is full of grammatical and spelling errors, it stands little chance of getting past the editor. If you are putting it online, it will give an awful first impression of your company.
It must kick off with a powerful message. Your headline, summary and first paragraph must sum up your news and contain your keywords (very important for online publication). The rest of your release should contain detail. Also add your web address at the beginning. Often press releases are truncated so if all your important information is at the start, the resulting published release will still pack a punch.
Don't write with hype, slang or jargon. Direct address and excessive exclamation will show it as an advert rather than a press release.
Think about what you reader will find interesting. Focus on elements that set you apart from your competition. If you can tie your news in with current affairs that is even better.
Using a real life situation can be very powerful. People love to read about other people so if you can show how you helped someone, it will resonate with them and draw increased interest to your company.
The British are renowned for their reserve. In marketing there's no place for it, so if you've done something, launched a new product or won an award, shout about it as loudly as you can.
If you've brought out a new product/service, just give a few tempting details and your web link. That will drive more traffic to your website, pushing them into taking action.
The words you use in your press release are very important. Keep your voice active and use strong verbs. Be economical too with your words – every one must count. Your press release needs concise powerful copy.
So there you go. These 8 tips will help you create stronger press releases that really work. Next time you have something to shout about, make sure you issue a press release. Your company is great – make sure everyone else knows that too.

"I wonder what that means?!"
And this is one of the many things I love about being Catholic - it doesn't matter how many years I've done this thing, there are still always new and fascinating tidbits to learn!
So, Spy Wednesday. The explanation was simpler than I anticipated, but no less profound. As this is the day prior to Holy Thursday, it is the occasion on which we remember how Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus by going to the high priest and negotiating information in exchange for 30 pieces of silver. The Synoptic Gospels record this scene in Matthew 26:14-16, Mark 14:10-11, and Luke 22:1-6. Ominous music is playing in the background as we draw closer to the Last Supper. :) It is also the day the Scriptures note (Matthew 26:613, Mark 14:3-9, and John 12:1-19) that Jesus was in the home of Simon the leper, and anointed with expensive perfume by a woman who was also present. Lots of foreboding right there. As I was looking for information on Spy Wednesday, I read on several sites that this day is marked in Poland with a tradition of dragging a three dimensional representation of Judas through the streets.
How is your Holy Week going dear reader?
HB's class made this cute book for Holy Week. Each day has a short sentence about the day and an illustration using their hands, fingers, or feet. Spy Wednesday has a bag with several finger prints of coins. It's so cute!


HTC to take on Spotify with music streaming service?
HTC could be about to enter the music streaming fray at MWC 2012 with a branded Spotify-competitor created as part of its partnership with Beats Audio.
Rumour has it that HTC is working closely with music industry mogul and Beats' head honcho Jimmy Iovine to create the streaming service after talks with existing companies, including Spotify, failed to go anywhere.
The as-yet unconfirmed music service would come as the default player on HTC phones and tablets. GigaOm's source couldn't provide any pricing details so we don't yet know if the service would be bundled with devices or if you'll have to cough up a monthly fee to use it.
But why would HTC, a handset manufacturer, bother sticking its oar into the previously unrelated music streaming market? Same reason it gave movie rental a whirl in the not-massively-successful-thus-far HTC Watch: differentiation.
All the phone manufacturers work within the parameters of the OSes their products run, so any move they can make to differentiate their products from the milieu and create some kind of user loyalty is going to be worth a punt.
Particularly as the bloom seems to have come off the HTC rose in recent months, with the company's meteoric rise to top Android maker tempered by falling sales and dipping profits.

Transportation planners have a wonderful phrase that applies to Premier Ford's transit plan: pencil crayon planning. Forgive their peevishness. The trained professionals who actually build things know that real planning is long, hard, boring work. Perspiration not inspiration.
To succeed, transit must be planned as a network that connects every front door to every other front door with only a short walk at each end. It has to be reliable, quick, safe, and comfortable.
A good plan matches demand to the right technology. A subway carrying 8,000 people per hour is a waste. A bus line carrying 24,000 won't work. A good plan forecasts demand decades into the future.
Toronto has had such a forecast since 2006. It has the boring name of Official Plan Map 5. Map 5 suggests transit improvements for streets where bus and streetcar routes are at capacity, or approaching it. Map 5 is why we have the King St. Pilot and the Eglinton LRT.
Building those improvements is where the merely boring becomes hard.
Designing a subway that moves 2,000 people each way through a tunnel every two and a half minutes requires precision and care. Trains can only handle the gentlest curves or changes in grade. Electricity has to be supplied. Air has to be pumped in. Water has to be pumped out. A signal system and the training to use it are musts. Locating stations and train storage adds still more headaches.
Opposing view: Is Doug Ford on track with his transit plan? Yes.
All of that has to be threaded through an already-built city, avoiding water and sewer pipes, natural gas lines, building foundations, fibre optic conduit, etc. Construction must not shake any of that loose, lest a building collapses.
Worse, in what looks like a punishing afterthought, the provincial budget cuts $1.1 billion in funding earmarked for maintaining our existing system.
In 1990 another premier sat down with a box of crayons and created Let's Move. Like Premier Ford, that premier overturned an existing TTC plan, which included the Downtown Relief Line.
So began the worst decade in TTC history. Ridership plummeted. The TTC had the worst accident in its history. We ran out of buses, streetcars, and subway cars.
Thirty years later all that remains of Let's Move is half a Sheppard subway, a very different York University Subway (both of which are woefully underused) and the spectacle of yet another premier ordering the tunnel for the Eglinton East Subway filled in.
In 2002, Steve Munro (Toronto's pre-eminent independent transit thinker) and I published Transit's Lost Decade. We reviewed where pencil crayon planning had got us and asked the TTC to do one simple thing: look at every conceivable way to get people to ride transit and tell us which ideas move the most people for the fewest dollars.
The TTC came back a year later with a list that emphasized: fixing the existing system; funding day-to-day operations; running more frequent service; and looking at Map 5 (which was awaiting final approval) for modest expansion projects. They called it the Ridership Growth Strategy and it led to the largest transit ridership increase in a generation.
It was also the jumping-off point for Transit City, which has since been pared down to Eglinton (the biggest transit expansion in my lifetime), and Finch (fingers crossed).
Some of us still hope to see LRT lines in Scarborough and the Waterfront LRT east and west.
It's 1990 all over again. There's a fancy new plan, but: we've stopped listening to planners; we're out of money to run what we've got; we've started losing riders; parts of the system are breaking down and getting dangerous; and, we are short on vehicles. If the premier gets his way we will lose another decade or three. Pass.

CAPE CANVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA has delayed the launch of a major communications satellite by more than two weeks to replace a damaged antenna.
One of the antennas on the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite ended up broken earlier this month during final launch preps.
Liftoff is now targeted for Aug. 20 from Cape Canaveral, Florida aboard an Atlas V rocket.
Satellite maker Boeing was preparing the satellite for an early August launch when the accident occurred. Boeing said late Wednesday that it's investigating the mishap, along with NASA. Engineers are also looking into a potential, unrelated problem with ground equipment.
This newest TDRS-M is third generation. The longtime orbiting network links ground controllers with the International Space Station, Hubble Space Telescope and other spacecraft.

EIGHTY YEARS ON
On the evening of Monday 2nd September I met a group of Christian friends for a teatime meeting. On our way there we'd been listening to drive time news as we inched through Belfast traffic, with the breaking story being that the Prime Minister was to make an announcement from the steps of 10 Downing Street at 6pm.

Do you remember learning your times tables at school? 'Two times two is four, three times two is six, four times two is eight…' In the days before electronic calculators took the strain, the combination of daily classroom sing songs and homework repetition rooted the multiplication tables in our brains. However, growing up in Northern Ireland, there was one times table that I did not learn in school, or church or anywhere. Continue reading →

There have been at least three very significant events in the past month that, taken together, may - repeat may - prove to be a watershed in the current quagmire that is politics in Northern Ireland.
The first was the brutal murder of Lyra McKee in Derry on 29 April that sent shock waves around the world, as well as bringing untold grief to her family and friends. Her funeral service in St Anne's Cathedral brought that electrifying moment when Fr Martin Magill called out our politicians for their failure to do government together (and did so, quite explicitly, in God's name). That call helped bring about the new talks currently underway to try to get devolution working again. Continue reading →

In mid-September 2019 Northern Ireland will reach a significant milestone in its history. It's one that seems highly unlikely to attract any of the attention of our decade of centenaries, the 100th anniversaries of the Home Rule crisis and Ulster Covenant, the Easter Rising, the Somme, and the establishment of the state itself.
The dates, I'm going to argue, could admittedly be debated but I'm talking about the tipping point when our post-Troubles period becomes longer than the Troubles itself; our local equivalent of 6 February 2018 when the Berlin Wall had been down longer than it was up.
In setting out these dates I'm taking as my starting point 14th and 15th August 1969 when British troops were deployed on the streets of Belfast and Londonderry, and a number of people were killed as major clashes occurred in North and West Belfast. For my end point I'm taking 31 August 1994 when the IRA announced a complete cessation of its military campaign.
I'll readily admit there's a level of subjectivity to these bookends. The events in mid-August 1969 weren't a civic jack-in-the-box that popped up from nowhere and nor did violence disappear from our society at the end of August 1994. Many innocent people have suffered cruelly since then, not least the victims of the Omagh bomb and their families in August 1998. The precise date of my suggested line in the sand can be debated, but not, I believe, the core issues it raises.
So, if these events are further in the past than the days the Troubles actually occurred, how have we failed so materially to move on? Why do these shadows still fall so bleakly over our civic life and communities? Why does Northern Ireland remain so depressingly gummed up in mistrust, tribalism and "whataboutery"?
Most of us haven't yet worked out what good truth telling and reconciliation looks like, and we remain grievously damaged by competing narratives and the lack of any shared version of our history to gather round. Then there are all the events that have punctured trust along the way, from the parades disputes of the late nineties to two years and counting of a collapsed Stormont in the late noughties, with Brexit, RHI, an Irish language act, abortion and same-sex marriage all contributing to entrenchment. The centre ground is hollowed out and the extremes don't even look close to wanting to do a deal.
After 20 years and counting of violence, things couldn't go on as they were. The early 1990s had a momentum about it, an energy of 'enough is enough', an echoing of the ancient Hebrew cry of 'How long, Lord?' Our society was drained by violence, tens of thousands of families scarred, hundreds of thousands worn out and fearful. Some in the church stepped up and played their part, with bold clerics rolling up their sleeves and having hard conversations with men of violence, and initiatives such as ECONI articulating the theological imperative for reconciliation and forgiveness.
And now, after 25 years of non-violence, are we not at a place again where there should be a groundswell of frustration demanding that we can't go on as we are? Many of us who are middle class are better off financially but we need to look around and see that the post-Troubles financial dividends have not been equally shared, with too many feeling left behind.
It seems hard to avoid the conclusion that prosperity has left too many of us with little banked but complacency, given our willingness to take for granted a level of division that ought to be intolerable.
And anyhow, are the Cathedral Quarter and Titanic Quarter and Victoria Square the best we can be and what we all longed for? Did we pine for a choice of Belfast eateries and new cars and mobile phones on three-year leases or did we not want something more?
When we talk about legacy issues in Northern Ireland we automatically see that in terms of 1969 to 1994, and enormous academic and spiritual thinking has been brought to bear on that era. But when mid-September 2019 rolls round there'll be a longer post-Troubles era than there was a Troubles-era. And so, in order to move forward, do we need to lay aspects of those 25 years aside now, and see a new generation of peacemakers and emerge to wrestle with what has left us so wrung out, with hope and light fighting a losing battle against cynicism and darkness?
1994 to 2019 has its own legacy too, so where's the church and where is the new theology for these times we live in going to come from? When the bombs and bullets have gone, what understanding will we seek from God for how we got to drift and deadlock, how we deal not with men in balaclavas with weapons but rather with the sapping dogmatism of a politician behind a microphone saying all the same old things, with blank faced nodding dogs from their party gathered around them.
Where's the groundswell where good people rise up and say 'How long, Lord?'

THE SLIPPERY SLOPE TO NO MAN'S LAND?
By admin | 21 August 2018 - 1:00 pm | P.S.
Are evangelicals and evangelism on a slippery slope - even a slide into a cultural no-man's land? The answer, I suggest, is a definite maybe!
Maybe evangelicals have become so obsessed with issues of sexuality, gender and 'traditional' values that they are doing little else other than react to the agenda set by the prevailing secularised culture, and so have lost sight of their primary calling to make disciples of Jesus Christ.

The Good Friday Generation writes…
By admin | 10 July 2018 - 5:15 pm | P.S.
On April 10th 1998 I was an almost one year old baby living in Johannesburg, South Africa; a country recovering from the Apartheid; a system of institutionalised racial segregation and discrimination that existed in South Africa between 1948 and 1994. As a one year old I knew nothing of this, I loved my white Father who was from England and came home every day from work providing. I adored my coloured Mother who also went out to work and came home to look after me and my brother. My nanny who was black that looked after us kids while my parents were at work would make us laugh so hard until we cried. These were all just people I loved, I didn't care what colour skin they had so why would their religion title also be a measure of my love for them?
When we moved to Northern Ireland in November 2001 the Good Friday Agreement had been in place for a number of years now and the prospect of peace was high. But now 20 years on the same cannot be said. As the 20th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement being signed draws near our Province is slowly deteriorating away from the once promised peace. As the six o'clock news comes on, we sit down to the hope that the parties at Stormont have resolved their issues and once again would become a beacon of hope, prosperity and most importantly peace. But day after day we are faced with more anger, violence and disappointment.
Am I optimistic for peace? Despite everything, yes. Recognising that God calls us to live faithfully, I am optimistic that change can occur because we are told in Jeremiah 29:11 that God has a plan for us, plans to give us hope and a future. Northern Ireland is in need of hope right now as Stormont remains dormant resulting in schools losing funding and the health service coming under further strain. My hope for our country is that however hard the past was, it is time to live in the present in order for our future and the future of our younger generation to never experience what went on over 20 years ago. However, it seems that the stalemate we are now experiencing is, in a different kind of way, just as draining for the society as the violence was; it could be the smoke before the fire.
For the past five years I have been working as a Christian volunteer in a predominantly Catholic area helping to facilitate the running of a Christian Kids Club for all children of the area; simply with the intention of sharing the love of Jesus through songs, games, stories and crafts. I have seen kids and leaders from both sides of the community come together with questions, love, joy and understanding but most importantly, peace. If a seven year old Protestant boy and a seven year old Catholic boy can come together and play games together, cheering each on and laughing, seeking to win for their entire team, then I simply cannot comprehend why adults cannot do the same. What we are experiencing now is not peace, but as Jesus said in John 16:33 (NIV) "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Therefore I see my job as part of the Good Friday Generation to take this as the slogan for my life and that of the children in my ministry, that although we may not have peace now, Jesus has already made peace with us all, it is now our responsibility to carry on this peace to those around us.
The church over the past 20 years has learnt a lot and I feel it is still continuing to educate itself on how to address the situation. Peace-making is an underlying theme throughout the Bible so therefore it should be the Church's mission now to fulfill this and I believe it has been better than before but like most things, there is room for improvement. Ways of tackling this may be by simply using appropriate language within the Church and also promoting and providing more opportunities for cross-community peace programmes.
As the 20th Anniversary draws nears cannot help but think of the 40th Anniversary, 50th etc. I find it hard to believe in the generation that are currently in charge of the Good Friday Agreement because quite frankly it is non-existent so the possibility of a 50th Anniversary seems very distant and bleak. However, with my work with the youth and children of this generation my optimism in them is strong as I believe God is preparing a generation of young Christian men and woman to help lead this small but wonderful country back to the peace that was once promised. I am proud citizen of South Africa that has a coloured mother and a white father that came out peacefully from the Apartheid, but I am also a proud citizen of Northern Ireland where I have spent my life growing up happy and at peace due to the protection of the Good Friday Agreement. I want the same for the kids in my Kids Club, in my church and for the future generation.
