What will I learn from the English lesson best of English?
During this English lesson you will be reading and learning about England and what makes it special. The final part of the lesson is about the various places that you can visit should you be lucky enough to visit England.
Why England is a special country?
England is a special country and lays claim to a special place in the hearts and thoughts of many people young and old. English speakers from United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand often feel a friendship with the land that gave them their mother tongue. England shares hundreds of place names with those English speaking countries. So for most people, going on holiday or visiting friends in England is like going home for them.
England has a grand age, with a massive amount of history that can induce a sense of awe and wonder. England is made up of many ancient cities, royal palaces, large cathedrals, and legendary sites.
One of the best things about England isn that it isn't very large, so you can base yourself anywhere in the UK and take daytrips to many parts of the United Kingdom, and visit historic cities and towns in other parts of the country.
Without doubt London is the place where most people visit when going on holiday it boast of many world-class museums such as The British Museum, the National Gallery, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Tate Modern, the Tate Britain, and finally the Natural History Museum. To read more about London click on the link below.
The three most go places to visit in London are the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace. You can read a more detailed of these three attractions by clicking on the links below.
Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Green Park, and St. James's park form a vast network of green space shared by Londoners and visitors to the capital of the United Kingdom.
One of the most elegant of English cities you can visit is called Bath; it has amazing Georgian crescents which are row houses built in a long curving line with 18th-century architecture.
Oxford and Cambridge are both towns and boast of two the world's most famous universities. The universities are century's old and well worth visiting for a day out.
Some people might prefer to to the beach and relax, you can visit Blackpool, on the North West coast, or head further up north to Scarborough, on the North Sea in Yorkshire. Brighton, on the south coast, has one of the best beaches in the UK.
Cornwall is made up of several picturesque towns, and many of them are former fishing villages that have a history of smuggling and pirates.
York, is only about two and an half hours from the centre of London by train, and is still surrounded by its medieval walls. York has narrow and medieval lanes; and is also home to York Minster, which is one of the largest churches you can find in the world.

Does mid-century matter?
As park district prepares to raze Madison St. building, preservationists say they're worth saving
by Lacey Sikora August 23, 2021 August 20, 2021
The Park District of Oak Park will soon demolish the building at 228-230 Madison St. to make way for a parking lot, leaving some to question whether that's the property's best and highest use. (Google maps)
With recent news that the Park District of Oak Park plans to demolish a mid-century modern office building at 228-230 Madison St. to make way for a parking lot, local preservationists have made the case that such buildings are worth preserving for multiple reasons.
Known as the Drifts Oak Building, the two-story building was designed in 1963 by architect Robert Taylor. The park district purchased the building in 2019 for $477,560 and, until recently, it was used rent-free by Yemba Inc. and West Suburban Special Recreation Association.
Park District Executive Director Jan Arnold says the building has problems that include its heating and cooling system, rain penetration, basement flooding and standing water, electrical and plumbing issues and asbestos in the roof, floor and ceiling tiles.
On Aug. 19, the park district awarded a contract for demolition of the building at an estimated cost of $143,000.
Arnold states that in its place, the park district will maintain a gravel parking lot, increasing parking from four spaces to 20. She says that some of those 20 park district vehicles are currently parked on the future site of the Community Recreation Center across the street. Once the Community Recreation Center is constructed, the lot will also serve as overflow parking for users of that facility.
Frank Heitzman, an Oak Park architect and past chairman of the village's Historic Preservation Commission and the Pleasant Home Foundation as well as past-president of the Chicago Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, laments the loss of the building.
He says that tearing down the building is questionable from a historic preservation standpoint and also from an energy-use perspective.
Best use and green energy claims
Oak Parker Mike Iverson, an architect, urban planner, urban ecologist and adjunct professor in University of Illinois at Chicago's Department of Urban Planning and Policy, who has an expertise in urbanized ecosystems," Iverson said, adding the demolition raises many questions.
"Is this the highest and best use of that lot? Of course not," Iverson said of its conversion to a parking lot. "Specifically, the economics by themselves from a taxpayer point of view make no sense."
Christopher Payne, an Oak Park-based architect and former Historic Preservation Commission chairman, agrees with the economic argument. He points out that when parking spaces in a covered structure routinely sell in the $10,000 to $25,000 range, paying this much for a surface parking lot that is on a prime corner location is not the best use of funds.
"I hate to always criticize taxing bodies for peeling properties off the tax rolls, but to do that for parking, is that really the best use?" Payne asked.
More importantly, Iverson says the park district, which claims its new Community Recreation Center will be a net-zero building, is failing to consider the environmental cost of demolishing an existing building.
"When you tear down any building, there is an inherent embodied energy component," Iverson said.
He would like the park district to define its net-zero claim, saying "Is it net-zero emissions or net-zero energy? Do you include the energy cost of tearing down buildings or the transportation used by people to get to the CRC? The net-zero claim is very nebulous."
Iverson calls on the park district and the village to define and substantiate claims of energy efficiency when they are using taxpayer provided money.
"The term net zero has no meaning whatsoever here, and this has been a theme in the village," Iverson said.
Heitzman called the use of the term net zero, "green washing."
Both Heitzman and Iverson concede it is too late to save the Madison Street building, but say the issues raised are important to keep alive.
"What is the historic significance of mid-century buildings?" Heitzman asked. "Are we going to tear them down because they need a new roof? Here, it's too little too late, but let's have a community discussion about the future."
Historically significant?
Payne says it's time to recognize the importance of contemporary buildings in the architectural heritage of Oak Park.
Mid-century modern buildings like the Drifts Oak building represent an important era, Payne said, noting that the village has already recognized other mid-century buildings as landmarks. The commercial building 1515 N. Harlem Ave., which he describes as having a dramatic UFO-like appendage is landmarked, as is a home at 1010 Fair Oaks Ave.
1515 N. Harlem Ave.
Mid-century modern style he says is often characterized by the use of natural materials like heavy timber or oversized stone. Payne says it has commonalities with Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian homes, in that both styles relied on employing mass-produced materials in both naturalistic and futuristic ways.
For Payne, existing mid-century buildings are worth saving, because they are still useful and because they are representative of a particular era in architecture. He points out that while some might deem these buildings too contemporary for historic preservation, people could have said the same about Frank Lloyd Wright's Home and Studio at the time it was preserved.
He also notes that many notable mid-century buildings, such as office buildings on North Avenue and the multi-unit residential building at 7 Division St., are good examples of mid-century designs that are on the borders of the village and serve as an entry point for visitors and residents alike.

While historic preservation discussions can be unpopular, Payne says it's important for the village to champion preservation, noting that it should be a boon to the village to have thoughtfully preserved, unique architecture.
The Drifts Oak building was included in Landmarks Illinois' Recent Past Survey of Suburban Cook County in 2011 and was cited in the village-commissioned Madison Street Corridor Architectural Survey by Wiss, Janney, Elstner in 2006 as an example of one of the "notable modern buildings."
Payne thinks the village would do well to value the findings of the reports it commissions.
"It's ironic that the village has never wrapped its head around how valuable preservation can be," he said.
Payne also wonders if there could be an embrace of ideas such as identifying other at-risk buildings, and perhaps holding taxing bodies to higher standards when it comes to permitting demolitions.
"It's particularly distressing when it's the village, or the library or the park district – some place where my tax dollars are going — that's doing the demolishing," Payne said. "It's one thing if it's a bad developer, another if it's part of our public policy as a community."
Payne notes that Landmarks Illinois has recently expressed interest in mid-century modern designs, and he thinks that preservation of these buildings can be a part of a larger conversation on historic preservation that would benefit the village.
While it may be too late for the Madison Street building — Arnold says demolition is slated for Oct. 1 — Payne is hopeful that a new village board and a newly revitalized Historic Preservation Commission, as well as an interested and knowledgeable population, might push the envelope towards embracing a preservation-guided mindset.

Season the roast and then give it a good, even sear. Remove and set aside. Sauté the vegetables in oil, season aggressively, add the roast back to the pot, add the tomato sauce and the wine, bring to a simmer, with the lid on, for 20 minutes. Taste and re-season as necessary. Remove the lid and simmer until falling apart tender. Remove the roast, shred and add back to the pot. If the sauce gets too thick, add a little of the pasta water. Plate the pasta and top with beef and plenty of rich sauce. Serve piping hot and top with Parmesan.

Black Friday Could Be Last For Sears, Kmart – WISH-TV | Indianapolis News | Indiana weather
(CNN) – This Black Friday could quite possibly be the start of the final holiday shopping season for Sears and Kmart, two brands that once proudly dominated the U.S. retail landscape.
The two chains are just a shell of what they were when the holding company that owns them came out of bankruptcy less than three years ago.
At the time, the holding company – given the overly optimistic name of Transformco – still had 223 Sears and 202 Kmart stores across the country. This was already down 87% from the 3,500 stores between the two brands when they merged in 2005 to form Sears Holdings. But the percentage drop in stores since the company exited bankruptcy in February 2019 has been even larger.
Today, there are just 21 full-line Sears stores in the Americas and two more in Puerto Rico, according to the store locator on the Sears website, after recent closures are eliminated. Seven other stores listed on the site are limited to selling home appliances and, in some cases, mattresses, rather than the full line of offerings that were once the hallmark of both chains.
And by the end of the year, there will only be six Kmarts left in the Americas, along with six more in Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands.
"To me it always felt like a liquidation. This has been going on for years, "said Reshmi Basu, personal bankruptcy expert at Debtwire.
Many retail experts blame Eddie Lampert, the main owner of Transformco and Sears Holdings, for the disappearance of two chains.
"He lets the leases expire, he abandons the stores. He keeps them open if it's appropriate to stay open, "said Mark Cohen, director of retail studies at Columbia University. "Obviously, they're all going to disappear shortly. You can count on that. "
Sears and Kmart aren't the only retailers battling the shift in shopping habits to big box retailers like Walmart and Target, and to online retailers like Amazon. JCPenney and Neiman Marcus both filed for bankruptcy when the pandemic hit in 2020, and Lord & Taylor went bankrupt.
But Lampert's critics say he's to blame for the two companies' sharp declines, as he invested little in the stores themselves and sold much of the more attractive real estate and brands that Sears once had. , such as Craftsman tools, Diehard auto parts. and Lands End.
"It's been in terminal decline for quite some time," said Neil Saunders, managing director and retail analyst at research firm GlobalData.
There is little chance of saving either chain in today's retail environment. Suppliers are struggling to provide much stronger retailers with the inventory they need, given current supply chain issues. This makes it harder for Sears or Kmart to get the products that buyers want.
"We know that suppliers prioritize their deliveries. They deliver to outlets that add more value to the brand, "said Greg Portell, senior partner in global consumer practice consultant Kearney.
And the job market – with near record numbers of job vacancies – only makes it harder for struggling chains to attract the workers they need.
"The retail talent war is real right now. They're not just raising the hourly wage, but looking for other things to attract workers, tuition, benefits, things that Sears and other struggling retailers will struggle to match, "said Portell.
If this is the end, it would be a sad demise for two chains which both date back to the end of the 19th century.
Kmart began in 1899 when founder Sebastian Spering Kresge opened a dime store in downtown Detroit bearing his name. The Kmart brand did not appear until 1962. The chain grew rapidly over several decades, claiming the discount segment of the market that big box stores such as Walmart and Target now dominate.
Kmart became known for their 15-minute "blue light specials": a store would flash a blue light and advertise "watch out for Kmart buyers" on the sound system, and customers were rushing to buy the products. at discounted price. Promotions began in 1965 but were halted in 1991, although Kmart tried to bring them back on several occasions.
The history of Sears is even richer in history. The company was once the country's largest retailer – both Walmart and Amazon in its heyday. At a time when the majority of Americans lived in rural areas, its catalog allowed many consumers to purchase goods they would not otherwise have had access to.
And Sears stores dominated the retail landscape, forcing many local Main Street stores to close in the same way big box retailers would one day shut down department stores. Many Sears were the anchor of shopping malls that contributed to the growth of American suburbs. It was literally a business that changed America.

This avocado recipe is so simple and delicious! The cilantro and garlic give it flavor and a kick. The bread you choose makes all the difference.

This is a great simple meal for any time of day!
Remove the avocado pit by stabbing it with a knife and discard it.
Cube the avocado by cutting the avocado just to the skin but not piercing it.

Background: The immune system is intrinsic to health. Modulation of the immune responses to alleviate the diseases by using herbal plants has been of interest for many years. Diosgenin, a naturally occurring steroid saponin mainly present in the seeds of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum) and in the root tubers of wild yams (Dioscorea villosa). Activation of specific and nonspecific immunity results in stimulation of immune response. Diosgenin has the positive effects on both specific and nonspecific immunity. Aim: To study the immunomodulatory activity of Diosgenin in albino wistar rats. Method: The suspension of Diosgenin was given orally at the dosage level of 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg for 21 days in a rat. The immunomodulatory activity on specific and non-specific immunity was studied by heamagglutination antibody (HA) titer, delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) response and carbon clearance test. Immunosuppression in a rat was induced by using Cyclophosphamide (100 mg/kg, p.o.). Sheep red blood cells (SRBCs) were used as antigen (0.1ml 20% SRBCs). Result: Diosgenin exhibited significant increase in the production of antibody titer in response to SRBC antigen. A significant increase in both primary and secondary HA titer was observed in immunosuppressed group treated with Diosgenin when compared with negative control. A significant increase in the DTH response was observed in immunosuppressed animals treated with Diosgenin, pre-sensitized with SRBCs antigen. Diosgenin exhibited significant increase in phagocytic index against control group, indicating the stimulation of the reticuloendothelial system. Conclusion: The study indicates that Diosgenin triggers stimulatory effect on specific and nonspecific immune response. The immunostimulant effect of Diosgenin could be attributed due to its saponin glycoside.

Commission will be asked to start again with PRM
Agriculture committee is set to ask Commission to start again with plant reproductive materials (PRM) proposals.
The European Parliament's agriculture committee may well follow the lead of the environment committee, which last week voted to reject the commission's new plant reproductive materials proposals.
Citing concerns on the number of delegated acts in the proposal and the large number of amendments submitted (1400), the chair of the agriculture committee, Paulo de Castro (Italian socialist MEP) is likely to ask the Commission to withdraw its legislative proposal and submit a new one after the elections in May.
In a meeting last week De Castro said "The draft law on plant reproductive material as proposed by the Commission is rather sensitive and at the same time very problematic. It includes a high number of delegated acts - and thus too wide powers for the Commission - and combines rules for seeds and other plant reproductive material in one legislative text. The majority of group coordinators therefore agreed that the best possible solution at this stage would be to reject the proposed text in its entirety."
Through its Brussels office the NFU has lobbied hard to prevent the potentially devastating impact of EU plant reproductive materials proposals coming to bear on the ornamentals industry. This impact would occur because of new requirements for plants marketed as named varieties to have 'officially recognised descriptions', and the cost of producing these for the 75,000 ornamental plant varieties currently on sale in the UK.
Working with other industry representatives, NFU lobbying has successfully persuaded Commission officials to agree our changes, and resulted in many MEPs submitting our proposed amendments to the regulation. The MEP backlash in response to concerns about impacts on the gardening sector has added significant weight to calls for the whole PRM proposal to be rejected.

Die Feodora II ist ein ehemaliges Ausflugs- und Butterschiff der Kieler Verkehrs AG.

Geschichte

Friedrichsort
Das mit der Baunummer 1379 bei der Kröger-Werft in Rendsburg gebaute Schiff wurde als Friedrichsort am 4. April 1972 von der Kieler Verkehrs AG übernommen. Ab dem 6. April wurde es auf der Kieler Förde eingesetzt.

Im Oktober 1977 erfolgte die Vercharterung an die Reederei W. Freter GmbH & Co. KG in Heiligenhafen.

Sven Johannsen
Am 8. Oktober 1979 wurde das Schiff an Walter Johannsen in Lübeck verkauft und erhielt am 17. Oktober den Namen Sven Johannsen. Von Travemünde aus wurde es für Ausflugsfahrten und Seebestattungen eingesetzt.

Feodora II
2014 kaufte Alexander Klein von der Nordischen Ausflug Schifffahrts GmbH (NAS) in Husby das Schiff. Die Gesellschaft fährt im Wechsel ab Laboe, Damp sowie Langballigau. Daneben sind Seebestattungen und Sonderfahrten im Angebot.

Nach jahrelanger Pause fährt mit der Feodora II seit dem 1. Juni 2016 wieder ein Ausflugsschiff den dänischen Hafen in Sønderborg an. Aufgrund der strikten Regelungen der dänischen Seefahrtsbehörde Søfartsstyrelsen musste das Schiff für den Einsatz auf dieser Auslandslinie für rund 150.000 Euro für die Einzelabnahme durch die dänische Behörde ausgerüstet werden, um etwa die Anforderungen nach einer vollautomatischen Lösch- und Brandmeldeanlage nach SOLAS zu erfüllen.

Ninety four year-old Norman Rothfield reveals the secrets of his longevity.
KERRY O'BRIEN: Those who worry about the ageing of Australia's population could console themselves with a look at the life of Norman Rothfield. At 94, the remarkable Mr Rothfield is still mixing it on the ski slopes with youngsters 80 and 90 years his junior. Lisa Whitehead sought to discover his secret.
LISA WHITEHEAD: This morning, Robin Rothfield is seeing his 94-year-old father off on one of his regular road trips.
ROBIN ROTHFIELD: Drive safely. No speeding, especially round bends.
LISA WHITEHEAD: It's a road well travelled by Norman Rothfield. He's made the journey to Victoria's high country hundreds of times over the past 60 years.
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: It's a refreshing holiday even before you get to them. Driving up the mountain is very pleasant.
LISA WHITEHEAD: These days, his family insists his carer travels with him and he takes the bus for the final part of the journey.
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: Lately my family supervise me either from a distance and they insist I have this or that.
LISA WHITEHEAD: And who can blame his family for being a little cautious. Knowing this fiercely independent great-grandfather still likes to live life at full speed. At 94, Norman Rothfield is believed to be Australia's oldest active skier.
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: Exhilaration. You get to the top of the mountain and you go zooming down. It's just something special.
BOY: Kids, he is 94 years old.
BOY: He's more than four times older than me.
BOY: Yeah. That's old, isn't it? He's still skiing.
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: How many more times older than you?
BOY: How old are you?
BOY: More than 10 times older than you. How does that sound? That's crazy, isn't it?
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: I don't behave like 94 so they treat me as I am.
KAY ANDERSON, CARER: He takes my breath away and constantly overwhelms me with his attitude to life. His interest in people from getting up early in the morning to just how he works his day and how he fits everything in.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Even the eldest of his three boys, who has just turned 70, finds it hard to keep up.
ROBIN ROTHFIELD: Both of us take a rest in the afternoon, but sometimes he can go on, he can skip the rest and I find that difficult to do. But, he lives at a high pace in every sense.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Back in Melbourne, to keep fit, Norman Rothfield walks along the Yarra River near his home.
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: You get a lovely reflection from the sun on the river and from the trees and it's pure joy.
LISA WHITEHEAD: He works out in his home gym.
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: That's good for the quadriceps.
LISA WHITEHEAD: And still plays tennis twice a week.
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: I don't go breaking records, but enough to keep active and keep me on the ball.
LISA WHITEHEAD: That includes a daily tipple of whisky and soda.
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: That's a nice drop.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Norman Rothfield has never let age be a barrier. He started skiing at the relatively late age of 30 and took up cross-country running in his 60s.
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: It makes an enormous difference. It's helped to cure my asthma.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Nowadays walking has replaced running, but his mind remains as spritely as ever. A life-long Jewish peace activist, Norman Rothfield hasn't given up on the goal he and his late wife, Evelyn, devoted themselves to.
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: Peace between Israel and the Palestinians, between Jews and Arabs. That's mainly our political goal.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Does it distress you what is happening now in the Middle East?
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: Yes, but I'm not surprised. It's an ongoing thing and it's not a simple matter to solve, but eventually we'll get there.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Throughout Norman Rothfield's life, skiing has provided a welcome escape from the worries of the world. He's skied the snow fields of Europe, the US and Canada, but now he's content to be back on the beginner's slope at Mt Bulla where he first strapped on the skis. How does this compare with what it was like in the '40s when you first started skiing?
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: (Laughs). Ten times as many people here or more than that and of course no equipment, just snow, if you're lucky.
LISA WHITEHEAD: In the old days, there was only one hut to stay in and there was only one way to get to the top of the slopes.
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: And you'd walk and walk as long as you could and then in five minutes you were down. It took you an hour to get up and 5 minutes to get down.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Norman Rothfield has never taken the easy path in life and even in his 95th year has no plans to settle into a gentle retirement. I think you're holding up pretty well.
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: Thank you. Thank you. Say that again, will you?
LISA WHITEHEAD: You're holding up pretty well, Norman.
NORMAN ROTHFIELD: Thank you. And again.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Very well. We'll join him again in another decade.

As leader of the efforts to implement Sol's comprehensive Impact + Infrastructure strategy, I am passionate about building community partnerships and collaborating with local organizations who are driving positive change in their communities.
I feel a strong sense of responsibility, honed from growing up in a developing country with inadequate infrastructure, to do my small part in making life better for under-resourced communities. Our work shows that we do not necessarily have to move mountains to implement change and impact someone's life. Sometimes, all it takes is an incremental change led by organizations who firmly believe in the mission such as Sol Systems, to start an avalanche of positive change.
Adaora Ifebigh - Director of Impact
Designing strategic renewable energy solutions to help our customers meet their organizational and carbon goals alike has always been a passion of mine. Inspiring our customers to rethink their solar procurements and investments for even deeper impacts beyond the megawatt is what highly motivates me at Sol Systems.
Together with our corporate and community partners and our team of passionate experts, Sol Systems gives me the extraordinary opportunity to design solutions that create co-benefits for communities and ecosystems and for a more just and sustainable energy transition.
Susanne Fratzscher - Associate VP, Strategic Solutions
My passion for our impact work stems from dedication to seeing a broad vision of sustainability. I'm passionate about innovative solutions across all areas of ecosystem services, and large-scale solar projects offer a unique opportunity to restore soil health, build up pollinator habitat, and improve our food systems. Investing in habitat restoration initiatives gives us the opportunity to provide access to clean energy, restore our natural environments, and partner with local community members. We're proving that making one decision during development of a clean energy project can have a far-reaching impact on our energy, agricultural, and food systems, communities, and natural world.
Juliana Isaac - Performance Engineer
As the daughter of a first-generation college student, I am passionate about our impact work because I feel as if it is my duty to pay it forward and uplift the next generation. Providing scholarships to high school seniors and job opportunities for local community college students gives us the opportunity to connect with the communities within which we work in a deeper way than the solar project itself. We're establishing a commitment to drive change not only from an environmental perspective but from a workforce development perspective as well. I am proud to be a small part of that change and driving forward Sol's mission.

BJGP study urges wider use of anticoagulants to prevent stroke
Lowering threshold for prescribing anticoagulants to patients with atrial fibrillation would significantly reduce number of strokes.
Dr Tim Holt
Researchers writing in this month's British Journal of General Practice say that lowering the threshold for prescribing anticoagulants to patients with atrial fibrillation would significantly reduce the number of strokes.
Dr Tim Holt from the University of Oxford and colleagues examined the records of 99,000 patients from over 500 UK general practices to see how many people with atrial fibrillation - a major risk factor for stroke - were taking anticoagulant medication. Only about half of at-risk patients were being prescribed anticoagulants. The study suggests that the scoring system commonly used in general practice for assessing risk may be restrictive.
Dr Holt said: "Oral anticoagulation reduces the risk of stroke very significantly in people with atrial fibrillation, but is underutilised: only about half of patients with atrial fibrillation and at risk of stroke receive anticoagulants. Reducing the threshold for anticoagulation would substantially reduce the incidence of disabling strokes in the UK".
Dr Holt will also be presenting his research at the Society for Academic Primary Care/RCGP annual conference in Glasgow on Thursday 4 October 2012.

King presents Hashemite flag to Jordan Armed Forces
By JT - Jun 09,2015 - Last updated at Jun 09,2015
His Majesty King Abdullah presents the Hashemite flag to the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army during a ceremony in Amman on Tuesday (Photo courtesy of Royal Court)
AMMAN — His Majesty King Abdullah, the Supreme Commander of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) on Tuesday presented the Hashemite flag to JAF in a ceremony at Al Husseiniya Palace courtyard attended by Her Majesty Queen Rania and HRH Crown Prince Hussein, Royal family members and senior officials and top brass.
The ceremony came as the Kingdom is witnessing national festivities marking King Abdullah's 16th coronation anniversary Tuesday, Arab Revolt anniversary and Army Day, which are marked on June 10, in addition to the Independence Day, which was celebrated in May 25.
The Hashemite flag's colours and motifs combine elements of history, legitimacy, religion and Arabism found in the Hashemite family and the Great Arab Revolt, according to the Royal Court.
In a press statement and a Facebook post, the Royal Court said the flag has been the banner of the Hashemite family for centuries. With its original dark red colour pattern, the banner was first hoisted by Al Sharif Abu Nami in 1515, and then raised by Prince Abdullah in 1920, as he led his soldiers to Maan during the Great Arab Revolt.
The flag was temporarily used as the official flag of the Revolt, under the leadership of Sharif Hussein Bin Ali, until a new one was adopted.
By presenting the banner to JAF, with its religious, historical and military significance, the statement said, His Majesty reiterated and reaffirmed his confidence in JAF and the lofty status of the armed forces and their role as a carrier of a pan-nationalist and Islamic message throughout their history and in the future.
"It conveys a message to the nation, the generations and the entire humanity of all its religions and identities, a message of peace, love, tolerance, justice, refined manners and coexistence, in the face of those Khawarij, who falsely claim they are defending Islam, while Islam condemns them," the statement said.
Before the King's arrival, the Crown Prince attended a ceremony during which the flag was brought to, and displayed in, the courtyard on one of the oldest military vehicles that was used during the 1916 Great Arab Revolt and the two world wars.
The vehicle was escorted on both sides by camel riders from the Badia Forces.
His Majesty first received the flag and then presented it to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs-of-Staff General Mashal Al Zaben, before it was hoisted on a special pole.
Air force fighters flew above the venue during the event.
Religious symbols of the flag include an inscription of the Shahadatain (the two Islamic testimonies that there is no God but Allah and Mohammad is His Messenger), in addition to basmala (In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful) and the first verse of the Holy Koran. The seven-head star is an Islamic art symbol that refers to the first chapter of the Koran.
Following the ceremony, King Abdullah held a reception for the key figures who attended the event, including Their Royal Highnesses Prince Feisal, Prince Ali, Prince Hashem, Prince Talal, who is King's special adviser, Prince Rashid, Prince Raad, the Chief Chamberlain, Prince Ali Bin Nayef, Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour, House Speaker Atef Tarawneh, Senate President Abdur-Rau'f S. Rawabdeh, Royal Court Chief Fayez Tarawneh, President of the Higher Judicial Council Hisham Tal, King's Adviser for National Security and Director of the General Intelligence Department General Faisal Shawabkeh and Chief Islamic Justice Ahmad Hlayel, among other senior officials and officers.

It also gave me the opportunity to look back on some old memories and reflect on some of the best and worst.
Self-reflection matters. Writing thoughts down helps.
You can find an opinion for anything. Your own belief holds more weight.
Spend time daily in God's presence.
The past is where it is for a reason. Don't dwell on it.
Worrying is the best way to have a head full of grey hair.
Wisdom is far more valuable than gold.
Death is inevitable. Tomorrow is never guaranteed, so live your life now.
Even Superman has a bad day.
Campfires, mountains and crisp air quench the soul.
Traveling is the best high.
Story telling brings strangers together. You'll be surprised how many people can relate to yours.
Breaking rules should appropriately fit into your routine.
Forgive, hold no grudges, and love thy neighbor.
No one will ever truly have it all figured out.
Complacency kills. Shake it up as often as possible.
Loving others and giving selflessly go hand in hand with happiness.
There are people who will do things for you for which you'll never be able to repay them. Pay it forward instead.
Finding your purpose involves finding your faith.
Laughter = Longevity. Belly laughing once a day keeps the doctor away.
As we get older, the need to rewire our brain becomes much more important. Tunnel vision dampens life.
The perfect time is now. Someday isn't a day.
Achieving your innermost desires comes from hard work, persistence, dedication and a fiery passion to succeed.
Spend your valuable, precious time with those that matter.
Don't stop moving. Sleep when you're dead.

"Rutherford and Son" at the National Theatre
2 July 2019 Edward Lukes
While Githa Sowerby's 1912 play has long been acknowledged as an important text, Polly Findlay's new production reveals the work to be a true masterpiece. No doubt old-fashioned, being driven by a strong plot featuring excellent characters and dripping with detail, the piece contains bigger concerns that feel remarkably contemporary. The story of a tyrannical patriarch who lives for his factory at the expense of his family, the obsession with legacy and reputation may be removed from our times, but Rutherford's business model is easily recognisable.
At the centre of the play is Rutherford himself – a mammoth role that Roger Allam takes in his stride. Allam is so good he can allow humour into the part, which is important as the sexism, snobbery and bullying are hard to swallow. And, for all the awful things Rutherford says and does, Allam manages to inject a compelling charm. It's easy to imagine his workforce and family being devoted to him. Rutherford's character is revealed slowly – notably he is talked about a great deal before we meet him, which gives us a complex person rather than a caricature. Given his cultivated pretence of reasonableness, you may find yourself agreeing with him more than you'd like, even when he's at his most outrageous.
Justine Mitchell
Allum is amazing, but it's Findlay's triumph that, unlike Rutherford, he isn't totally in charge. A superb supporting cast moulds the focus of the play from scene to scene. Harry Hepple and Sam Troughton play the hapless sons, a mix of timid piety and privileged bluster that's increasingly unattractive. There's a brilliant performance from Justine Mitchell as the daughter, Janet, who provides evidence of the cruelty brought to all the siblings' upbringings. The outcome of her story, containing a shock and a mystery, is deeply moving. It's in his daughter-in-law, Anjana Vasan's Ann, quiet for so much of the play, that Rutherford meets his match, with a finale that makes ruthless bargaining a riveting drama.
Rutherford and Son could so easily be dismissed as all about repression – hence less relevant to our times. But there's actually plenty of confrontation in the play and presenting both shows Sowerby's genius. The characters aren't pushovers – they wouldn't convince if they were. Rather, quiet moments, in particular the depressing resignation the women often display, create a distinct rhythm for the piece that builds in power. Although bleak, there's a sense of satisfaction that Rutherford is justly rewarded. Given that he's a glass manufacturer, a profession Lizzie Clachan's gorgeous set emphasises, the danger of throwing stones should be clear. Or maybe that's wish fulfilment on my part? The finale has a Rutherford heir who isn't quite the son anyone presumed. Questioning what might come next is Sowerby's aim, highlighting motherhood makes this a play focuses on the future far more than for the past.

"The Tempest" at Shakespeare's Globe
17 November 2014 Edward Lukes Leave a comment
Even if there's still a chill in the air, for theatre-lovers the summer starts with a trip to Shakespeare's Globe. The Theatre's 'Season of Plenty' begins with The Tempest, a difficult play that director Jeremy Herrin, confident in the venue's unusual power and his excellent cast, tackles with a light touch. It has been the fashion to subject the story of Prospero and his elaborate revenge on those who exiled him to a great deal of analysis. Herrin's focus is on the theme of reconciliation and the magic in the play comes to the fore.
There is little threat on this island – the machinations that landed Prospero there aren't given much attention. Instead, there's a lot of laughs, led by the drunkards Stephano and Trunculo (played by exuberant double act Sam Cox and Trevor Fox) – and even Caliban gets to join in the singing. Indeed, the island seems too homely, almost drab – its attraction is the detailed depiction of the relationship between Prospero and his daughter Miranda. Jessie Buckley is a revelation in the role, captivating and able enough to bring on her suitor Ferdinand (Joshua James) to some charming scenes of romance.
Colin Morgan as Ariel
The pace of the production is skilfully developed, with Colin Morgan's Ariel pivotal, injecting a spellbinding touch (in scenes of startlingly confident theatricality) and bringing home the play's concerns with freedom. Morgan is athletic and otherworldly, mellow rather than mischievous and played with an intelligent depth that builds up the fascinating relationship with his master Prospero: it is here that the understated quality of Herrin's production finds its power.
Only an actor as fine as Roger Allam, who takes on the central role, could make such a domesticated Prospero work. A model of clarity, Allam was born to play the Globe – he's worth the price of the ticket and then some. His nuanced performance as a former Duke can be commanding and his dour touches delight, but it is as a father, the man behind the magic, that he becomes magnificent. He enjoys his power to enchant with such glee that abandoning it has added pathos, but renounce it he does – in order to become more human and experience the freedom that entails.

"Henry IV Parts 1 and 2" at Shakespeare's Globe
This year's terrific Kings and Rogues season at Shakespeare's Globe gives us the theatre's first production of Henry IV Parts 1 and 2. Under the direction of Dominic Dromgoole, the plays thrive on the clarity and immediacy of the venue. With the cast Dromgoole has assembled the plays receive the complex subtlety they deserve.
First for the king. Suitably careworn from the start, Oliver Cotton's Henry IV has a fiery temper that encompasses both the passionate young man he once was and the disgruntled father he has become. In plays so concerned with the theme of age, he manages to convey the journey of a life time.
Then there are those who would be kings. Jamie Parker (fittingly, a member of the original History Boys cast) plays Prince Hal with an eye on the time. He has huge fun with the low-life company he keeps but also shows a cold edge that, for all Parker's charm, is unsettling.
Sam Crane's Hotspur also plays it for laughs, which makes him less of a foil to the dissolute Prince. His performance has perhaps too much of the puff-chested schoolboy about it to create the required tension as he leads his men into rebellion and bloodshed.
And now to the rogue – Falstaff, that "villainous, abominable misleader of youth". Like Elizabeth I, we all fall in love with Sir John. Especially this one. Shakespeare gives him a lot to work with, but Roger Allam doesn't miss a trick – he squeezes every last drop of comedy out of the text and adds some of his own. His Falstaff is urbane, fey and philosophical. He is also crude, reckless and (unusually) sexy. With impeccable timing and joyous physicality he is, oh, such good company.
Allam's genius is to embrace the theatricality of the character – Falstaff loves being on show and Allam uses the particular intimacy of The Globe to great effect. The character doesn't just perform in those famous tavern scenes. He also gets turns as wrestler Giant Haystacks in a Pythonesque moment where a superb Mistress Quickly (Barbara Marten) threatens him with a dead fish. And he is a passable Barry White figure, with Jade Williams' fantastic Doll Tearsheet swooning at his charms. And who could blame her? With Allam in total, joyous control, we are all a little heady from the performance. This Falstaff is faultless.
But Falstaff isn't irresistible to all. The fun cannot last and in Part 2 we see that the piper, in the form of the recorder-playing Hal, has to be paid. Solemnity sets in as the kingdom in turmoil takes its toll. There are still laughs but they start to sound hollow as the characters succumb to fatigue and stress.
Allam injects an escalating unease. Increasingly sordid and diseased, Falstaff is compelled to continue his charade as a soldier and this is one spotlight he isn't comfortable in. Estranged from Hal, he is forced into plotting a poor joke against the charmingly doddery Shallow (William Gaunt). He never gets to tell the punchline. Appearing as an exhausted Bacchus, the energy passes to Jamie Parker who returns as a demented Pistol. Behind the euphoria at Hal's ascendency we sense fear.
Henry IV Parts 1 and 2 are epic plays. The history they write takes in the whole of the country and also the span of man's life. It is to Dromgoole's credit that this twin focus is never lost. Lording it over all is the epitome of life itself – Falstaff. In all of his joy and his pain Allam's rogue is truly magisterial.

Exactly what yours was previously Ian.
I had assumed that this was going to be one of those banner phrases that often spread to everyone's signatures on forums so I shamelessly copied it when I saw it on someone else's sig. Might have been that around that time I was answering probably a question a day to lots of the more newbie things. They probably didn't want new blood diverted from their forum.
Just FYI from the new guy here, it was a SIG that got me here. I don't know whose it was but most likely it came from PIC32 forum in a MZ thread.

The Germans' anger after Die Mannschaft was eliminated from the 2022 World Cup
The German press and fans were furious after the four-time World Cup-winning team was eliminated from the group stage this year.

Middlesbrough's victory: Coach Michael Carrick explains Crooks and Forss changes
Germany's Bild newspaper led a wave of criticism of the national team with the headline: "Shameful! We're out", after Germany won 4-2 over Costa Rica but were unable to progress because in the other match at the same time, Japan beat Spain with a score of 2-1.
The German team was eliminated from the World Cup group stages two times in a row.
"The world of football used to tremble before us. Germany is now a football dwarf," the newspaper continued.
After three matches in the group stage, the German team got 4 points. They lost to Japan in the opening match, drew Spain and won Costa Rica, but that result was not enough for Germany to progress.
The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper published "German football has fallen to the bottom again, 4 years after the first time being eliminated in the group stage", while the Suddeutsche Zeitung wrote "That's it! Disqualified! And disqualified again".
"Germany was narrowly eliminated from the World Cup," the fan said. "That can't happen with a better team."
In Japan's second goal against Spain, the ball appeared to have gone all the way out of the goal line before a Japanese player crossed the ball into Spain's goal box. The Spanish players protested, forcing the referee to refer to VAR. The referee then determined that part of the ball was still on the outside edge of the line and thus awarded the goal to Japan.
German fans think that the ball was totally past the goal line in Japan's second goal.
Many German fans immediately took to social media to call this an invalid goal and criticize VAR's decision to recognize that goal. Other fans quipped it was "retribution" for England midfielder Frank Lampard's 2010 "ghost goal." Lampard's goal went straight into Germany's net but was not recognized, causing England to lose 1-4 and be eliminated in the round of 16 in that year's tournament.
In a bar in the east of Berlin, Eric Warncke was "disappointed" by Germany's unexpected disqualification, but said he had doubted it would ever happen. "Nobody thought Japan would beat Spain, but in the end we were eliminated in a worthy way," said Warncke, 27.
According to Warncke, the German team has no advantage over its opponents. Germany used to be proud of the team that always had a chance to win the World Cup. "Individually they are all good players, but they are not a team," he added.
"It's disappointing, but we deserve it," said Rico Wagner, 23, a friend of Warncke's.

Even before the TV commentator confirmed Japan's victory and Germany's disqualification, exclaiming "this is a failure, a disaster", some fans grabbed their coats and left the bar. Angry screams were heard as the referee blew the whistle to terminate the game.
Levent Lanzke, 41, said Germany should have "certainly made it to the quarter-finals". "In theory yes, but Japan has appeared. Costa Rica too," he said, shrugging. "In this way, I don't resent Japan."
Sebastian Fichte, 48, believes that the host country's decision to hold the tournament in the winter rather than the traditional summer has dampened the players' enthusiasm.
Views of German matches have so far been much lower than usual. Fichte said he would not boycott the remaining matches of the World Cup, even though Germany has been eliminated. Another football fan Michael Schreiber, 43, was on the same page with Fichte. "I'll watch a match or two. Sure. I'm excited for good games," he said.

African Leaders: Don't Gas Africa
Sign the petition to fight against Africa being locked into a fossil fuel future.
What to know:
The African Union has proposed an expansion in fossil fuels that would pollute the continent and put lives at risk.
African organisations have rejected this and are calling for an evidence-based transition plan to renewable energy.
Add your voice to the campaign: Sign the petition calling on leaders to prioritise clean energy for the continent.
Learn More about this cause:
Burning gas, coal and crude oil for energy is destroying our world – extracting these fuels pollutes people's land, destroys homes, and permanently damages environments. When fossil fuels burn, the heating atmosphere causes more floods, droughts, erratic rainfall, and heat waves across Africa.
African land is not a gas station. Millions are losing their homes, don't have access to food, have their health threatened and are slipping into higher levels of extreme poverty because of the fossil fuel industry.
Instead of selling away fossil fuel extraction rights to big multinational companies, African leaders should invest in clean, renewable energies that will directly benefit people across the continent without damaging their health.
But right now, An African Union committee has proposed an African Common Position on Energy Access and Transition for adoption at COP27 that views gas as a "green energy" and what's worse is they've made no plans to expand actual clean energies like wind and solar power.
We cannot allow African countries to be locked into a fossil fuel future.
There is hope. Civil society organisations across the continent are fighting back and we all need to stand by them. The Don't Gas Africa campaign calls for African leaders to reject this proposal and prioritise evidence-based policies around a just transition to renewable energy.

Mt. Everest's highest glacier lost 2,000 years worth of ice since the 1990s
By Brandon Specktor

Even the glaciers on Mount Everest are not safe from climate change, new research suggests.
In a record-setting study, a team of scientists scaled the world's highest peak to monitor the mountain's highest-altitude glacier — the South Col Glacier, standing nearly 26,000 feet (8,000 meters) above sea level — for signs of climate-related ice loss. After installing the two highest weather stations on Earth and collecting the world's highest ice core from the glacier, the team found that South Col is losing ice roughly 80 times faster than it took for the ice to accumulate on the glacier's surface, they reported Feb. 3 in the journal npj Climate and Atmospheric Science (opens in new tab).
The team's core analysis showed that ice that took 2,000 years to form on the glacier has completely melted away since the 1990s, and that the glacier is currently losing several decades worth of ice accumulation every year.
"[This study] answers one of the big questions posed by our [expedition] — whether the highest glaciers on the planet are impacted by human-source climate change," study co-author Paul Mayewski, a glaciologist at the University of Maine and director of the University's Climate Change Institute, said in a statement (opens in new tab). "The answer is a resounding yes, and very significantly since the late 1990s."
The glacier's rapid decline could have serious impacts on the mountain, and those who live near it. The melt may result in more avalanches on Everest, or expose more bedrock that makes the terrain more treacherous for climbers, the study authors found.

'Destined for rapid retreat'
On a recent expedition, 10 researchers climbed to the base of South Col Glacier and installed two weather detection stations — one at 27,600 feet (8,430 m) and the other at 26,200 feet (7,945 m) above sea level. The team also drilled a 32-foot-long (10 m) ice core from the glacier, which would reveal how the glacier ice's thickness has changed over time.
With this data in hand, the team ran computer models to simulate the glacier's growth and retreat over thousands of years. The team concluded that South Col Glacier has lost more than 180 feet (54 m) of ice thickness in the last 25 years. While the effects of wind and changes in humidity may have contributed somewhat to this ice loss, human-induced climate change is the overwhelming cause, the researchers said.
In fact, the team found that South Col Glacier may have begun thinning from climate change as early as the 1950s. However, by the 1990s, the melt rate accelerated significantly when the glacier's snowpack (the outer layers of snow that accumulate over time) finally disappeared, exposing the glacier's raw ice to the sun's radiation. Now, missing its shield of white ice to reflect the sun's rays, South Col Glacier seems "destined for rapid retreat," the researchers wrote in their study.

Ultimately, while South Col is just one glacier among many in the Himalayas, its position at the top of the world shows that no ice mass is safe from climate change. If the same melting trends occur in other glaciers across the Himalayas, then the glacier-stored water that more than 1 billion people depend on for drinking water and irrigation could start to deplete significantly, the authors said.
Future research must focus on how widely these melting trends apply to other glaciers at the top of the world, the researchers concluded.

'Replica' sword is really 3,000 years old and may have been used in battle


Have you ever noticed the story of a wave? It begins as a journey throughout the ocean, riding along, following the wind as it secretly blows an unknown path created by God. Then it moves closer and closer to the shore and begins to move in a manner of chaos and unsettling fear as it backs away towards the vast mystery and curls as it rises to the sky. As it becomes too much, like a heartbreak it falls to the earth and shatters. Only the shatter breaks into a smooth sail, like a spilled cup of coffee spreads rapidly across the glossy wood of an oak table. There was no more chaos, no more fear, only freedom to run across the palm of God's stretched out hand of golden brown sand.
