Training begins for a new adventure on Mont Blanc.
One of my pet peeves (I have many) is coughing. Put me next to a hacking person on the airplane and my shirt is dramatically yanked up over my face like a mask. I frantically Purel, add EmergenC to my water, and if it gets bad enough, I hit the call button and beg for mercy. Right now I have a cough, which turns me into a pet peeve. I'm grossed out and struggling with self acceptance. And sleep. A cough is relentless at night. I missed my Tuesday track workout because I was up at 2 and finally took pity on myself and turned my alarm off at 4. Which might have been a gentle choice, since I heard the group did 5x1 mile repeats. On no sleep and no lungs, that might have been a bit aggressive.
But I need to turn it up because next weekend my good friend is turning 50 and he signed some friends up for the Santa Barbara triathlon. Luckily I was slotted just a relay spot (running, duh) - especially since a shark (!!!!) was spotted this week 5-10 feet from shore at the exact place where the swim is taking place. That, on the heels of Discovery Channel's Shark Week, would be my undoing. No way, Jose. An Austin contingency is infiltrating SB for the birthday weekend, and I'm looking forward to that. My relay partner, Dawn, is a good swimmer and has been training hard on her bike. So I feel some pressure to kick a little boo-tay and do her proud. Gulp. So in spite of my terrible sleep again last night, when my phone said 4:30 am, I shrugged and made a cup of coffee. My group was meeting at 5:30 am, and I figured I may as well go.
Nothing loosens the lungs like an 8 mile trek uphill in the dark, right? I didn't cough at all, of course I couldn't breathe either, so perhaps I had no oxygen to hack. Either way, I feel better now.
And I feel even better, way better, because this run revealed an awesome new adventure. I'm stating it here and now because I said yes, or shall I say oui, and I want it down for the record.
My good friend Terra has mentioned this on several occasions in the past, but next summer the plan is firm (And Terra is firma...when she states a goal or plan, it's as good as done. No wimp in that woman.). She wants to run around Mont Blanc in France in July. My kids are at camp for three weeks, I used to live in France, I used to speak French, I love to run on trails, I love Terra, I love red wine at night and rose at lunch, I love baguettes and cheese and chocolate croissants. What else do you need to know? I'm going for it. Yip! I'm so excited I can't stop smiling.
So I have just less than a year to figure out how I can run an average of 20 miles a day, give or take, for five days or more in a row. I have less than a year to dust off the language that I used to love so much that I swore I was French in a past life. Training for the body, soul, and mind...a perfect trifecta. Endurance meets elegance (I contend there is nothing- rien -more elegant than speaking French, hence my obsession with Jackie O, Grace Kelly...). Blisters meet baguettes. Hotel snob meets hostels. Wine meets weariness (wine meets whine?). My limits meet Mont Blanc.

Dubai introduces the world's largest 3D printed building
Forefront of innovation
Text: Meeran Mekkaoui
Dubai has set the technological benchmark once again with another piece of history-making architecture...
It's no surprise that Dubai has constantly been at the forefront of innovation, and its status is proven with its newest planned development.
The city just launched a new 3D printed building, and at two-storeys high, it's considered the world's largest one.
The project was unveiled via Dubai Media Office on Twitter, where they announced that the building will now be the home of the Dubai Municipality. An integrated building comprising of two floors with a height of 9.5 meters, the space comes complete with several rooms, windows and a staircase. Take a look here...

— Dubai Media Office (@DXBMediaOffice) October 23, 2019
Speaking of the new project, the Director-General of Dubai Municipality, Dawoud Al Hajri, said: [3D printing] will increase the pace and speed of execution and completion of buildings, and reduce construction costs and contribute to the development of solutions to the demographic challenges by reducing the number of construction workers."
The 3D printed building is a part of the Dubai 3D Printing Strategy — which aims to have 25 percent of its buildings built through 3D printing by 2030.
Now, here's everything you need to know about London's The Arts Club new venue in Dubai.

The Top 10 Hikes in Maine
Rec Van Staff June 28, 2022
Vanlife means exploring the country on your terms, on your schedule, and with minimal "baggage". Every day is an adventure, and every adventure brings about new opportunities, challenges, and memories. A key component to vanlife is adjusting your travels to what the season offers. The heat of summer, for example, is an exceptional time to schedule a trip to New England and the Northeast.
This is an extraordinary part of the country that blends mountain roads, mature forests, small town discoveries, and rocky coastlines. If you enjoy setting aside a day or two to set out and enjoy a front-row seat to what Mother Nature has to offer, there's nothing like hiking in Maine during the summer season.
Depending on your abilities, experience, and sense of adventure, here are ten of the top summertime hikes in Maine.
Cadillac Mountain at Acadia National Park
Where to Stay: Mount Desert Campground
Why It's a Must See: Virtually every list of great hikes in Maine includes Cadillac Mountain at Acadia National Park. It is easy to understand why. First, while many drive to the peak, it is an easy 2.2 mile hike. This is one of the first places in the United States where the sun reaches land, and every sunrise is a bit of a festival. The granite peak itself offers nearly panoramic views, including those of Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor, and the Atlantic Ocean. For a moderate two to four hour hike, Cadillac Mountain offers a nice payoff.
Pleasant Mountain in Bridgton and Denmark, Maine
Where to Stay: Pleasant Mountain Camping Area
Why It's a Must: Those in search of a moderate hike with exceptional views should check out Pleasant Mountain. Located just about an hour from Portland, this is Southern Maine's tallest peak. There are actually six designated trails here, spanning over 10 miles. A 5.8 mile trail can be completed in 3 to 4 hours and provides frequent views of the summit of Pleasant Mountain and, if conditions allow, may even offer views of New Hampshire's Mt. Washington in the distance. The 3.6 mile Ledges Trail provides the most direct route to the top and is also very popular with other hikers.
Mount Katahdin at Baxter State Park
Where to Stay: Wilderness Edge Campground
Why It's a Must: If you are an experienced hiker, this is a trek that will fill an entire day. Located in the middle of Baxter State Park and at just over 5 miles in length, this is a challenging hike that can take an average of 8 to 12 hours to complete. Mt. Katahdin is noted for several reasons. It is not only the tallest peak in the state, but it is the location of the Northern Terminus of the Appalachian Trail. The Hunt Trail, one of the most popular ways to Baxter Peak, pays off with views of the Katahdin Stream Falls and the foothills of Maine.
Gulf Hagas, Brownville
Where to Stay: Moose Creek RV Resort
Why It's a Must: This area is located along the west branch of the Pleasant River and is known as "The Grand Canyon of the East". While that may be a bit overstated, it is a three-mile long rock gorge that soars about 500 feet above the river below. The Gulf Hagas trail can be located through the Katahdin Iron Works Road in Brownville. The hike, which includes parts of the Appalchian Trail, is a moderate hike of about 8.2 miles and should take about 5 or 6 hours to complete.
Tumbledown Mountain in Weld
Where to Stay: Drummer's Beach Campground
Why It's a Must to See: In the Western Mountains of Maine, this is one of the most popular hikes in the state. The reason? It has an unusual and unforgettable payoff. At 2,800 feet, hikers are treated to views of an Alpine pond with 700 foot granite cliffs on the south face overlooking the pond. The Brook Trail is the easiest way to the pond, with an elevation of about 1,600 feet. The trail is moderate in difficulty and takes about 3 to 4 hours to complete.
Table Rock at Grafton Notch State Park
Where to Stay: Grafton Notch Campground
Why It's a Must See: Also along the Appalachian Trail, Table Rock is a 2.6 mile hike up Bald Pate Mountain. Its payoff is not the summit but a vista along the trail that is exceptional. There is a part of the hike that does require some hand-over-hand metal steps. You will pass some intriguing caves along the way. This trail is located along Maine's Western Fence, which borders New Hampshire.
Bigelow Mountain – Bigelow Preserve
Where to Stay: Balsam Woods Campground
Why It's a Must See: Part of the Appalachian Trail, this is a more classic, strenuous hike that includes multiple, significant level changes, covering about six peaks and many smaller ones. This is a ridge-style hike. Footing can be a bit tricky, and the overall hike can be strenuous. The network of trails covers 16.3 miles, is well-marked and offers plenty of selfie opportunities.
Mount Kineo at Kineo State Park near Greenville, Maine
Why It's a Must See: This is proof that a hike in Maine doesn't have to be challenging or difficult to be rewarding. Located on a peninsula on Moosehead Lake, Mount Kineo has 700 foot sheer cliffs that have it majestically overlooking the lake. Hiking trails encircle the entire mountain, but the surface of mostly gravel and crushed rock is easy to maneuver. You should know, however, that Mount Kineo State Park can only be reached by boat.
Dorr Mountain Acadia National Park
Where to Stay: Hadlery's Point Campground
Why It's a Must See: While not the most well known of Acadia's peaks or trails, Dorr Mountain has much to offer. Summit views expand in all directions. Getting there, of course, is half the fun, and you will have four options for trails that lead to the top. The Ladder Trail is perhaps the most interesting for those capable of handling its ladders and metal rungs. This is not for the timid, so if you have a fear of heights or are not steady on your feet, you may want to choose another option. This is about a 3.5 hike up and down and can take anywhere from 3 to 5 hours.
Great Head Trail Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor
Where to Stay: Bar Harbor Campground
Why It's a Must See: While many of Maine's hiking trails offer views of mountains, mature forests, and rivers, the Great Head Trail at Bar Harbor offers something a bit different. This trail offers spectacular views of the ocean. Hikers will enjoy the coastal headlands and wooded areas. As an added bonus, the trail includes the remains of a 1900s tea house. The modest 1.7 mile loop is considered a moderate hike. This can be an invigorating trek.

Sid Richardson (Ph.D Composition, 2018) wins the 2018 Hermitage Prize
Richardson, a composition student at The Aspen Music Festival and School, receives a six-week residency at the Hermitage Artist Retreat in Englewood.
The Hermitage Artist Retreat and The Aspen Music Festival and School (AMFS) announce that Sid Richardson, a composition student at AMFS, has been awarded the 2018 Hermitage Prize. Richardson receives a six-week residency at the Hermitage, along with a $1,000 stipend for travel and food expenses. Richardson was selected by a jury that included Alan Fletcher, AMFS president and CEO; Robert Spano, music director of AMFS and the Atlanta Symphony; and the composition faculty of AMFS. (Photo: Hermitage director Bruce Rodgers with composer Sid Richardson.)
First awarded in 2013, the Hermitage Prize is given to a promising composer who is enrolled as a composition student at AMFS. Richardson says that winning the Hermitage Prize is "an affirmation of my musical explorations. I can't think of a greater opportunity for a young artist than to be given time, space, and a community of like-minded individuals within which to work." He adds that he hopes to continue to, "explore the intersections of music and literature in regard to musical form—and to engage with new genres and media. My stay at the Hermitage will prove an important stage in my development as a composer."
Richardson earned his Ph.D. in composition at Duke University last May and attended The Aspen Music Festival this summer as a composition fellow. He has collaborated on compositions with such artists as Conrad Tao, yMusic, the Da Capo Chamber Players, Deviant Septet, and Amarcord. (From the press release)

Soil quality impacts size of deer antlers
Mississippi State University researchers are investigating the connection between soil fertility and antler size as deer hunters prepare for their annual quest for the elusive trophy buck.
As fall approaches, masses of hunters begin to dust off bows, construct tree stands and sight in rifles. Deer season opens Oct. 15 for most of the state, and once again more than 250,000 hunters will be going into Mississippi's forests in search of prized bucks. Finding the trophy can be a challenge because antlers come in all shapes and sizes.
With that in mind, scientists in MSU's Forest and Wildlife Research Center are studying factors that affect antler size. They have found that good soil and habitat quality can help deer develop significantly larger antlers.
"We collected data from more that 18,000 bucks harvested on 765 properties from 1991 to 2002 in Mississippi," said Steve Demarais, professor and deer biologist in the Forest and Wildlife Research Center. "We found that different soil types, even in the same state, can impact antler size."
Scientists compared three regions in Mississippi to determine how soil impacts antler growth.
"The Delta region soils are very fertile and productive compared to the Lower Coastal Plain region soils, which are not as fertile and considered to be of lower quality," Demarais said. "The loam soils of the Thin Loess region -- from Amite and Wilkinson counties in the south to Marshall County in the north -- are of modest quality."
"We found that regional variation in antler size can be explained by soil fertility," Demarais said. "Soil fertility impacts food type and quantity, which ultimately affects habitat quality."
In fact, the scientists found bucks in the Lower Coastal Plain take a year longer to reach their antler potential compared with deer in the Delta.
Researchers also noted a significant difference in the Boone and Crockett scores for deer of the same age across regions. Boone and Crockett scores are determined by taking several measurements to arrive at a final number that provides instant rankings on trophies.
"Same-age bucks from the Lower Coastal Plain soil region had Boone and Crockett scores of nearly 20 inches less than those in the Delta region," said Bronson Strickland, assistant Extension professor in the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. "The Thin Loess score is in the middle with about 10 inches between the regions."
The study found that improved nutrition improves the antler size distribution within any region where nutrition is a limiting factor, especially those with low to moderate soil quality.
"While improving nutrition is important, hunters should remember that regardless of age, 60 to 70 percent of bucks will grow antlers similar to the average for that age class," Strickland said. "A small percentage will be smaller than average, and an equally small percentage will be larger than average."
Hunters should manage their properties for an average-size class and modify their expectations to conform to the fact that high-end bucks are not common, even under the best of circumstances, Strickland added.
"If you want to harvest big bucks, you should let deer reach maturity and provide proper habitat management and food plots," Strickland said.

Maria Susanna Cooper (née Bransby, 1737–1807) was an English novelist, children's author, and poet, best known for her epistolary novels. Her writing, didactic and conservative, focused on appropriate roles for daughters, wives, and mothers.

Life

Maria Susanna was born 20 August 1737 in Shotesham, Norfolk, to James Bransby and Anna Maria Paston. She married Samuel Cooper in 1761 but although her husband was soon appointed rector at Yelverton, they remained in Shotesham for two decades. In 1781, the Cooper family moved to Great Yarmouth when Samuel Cooper was appointed curate there.

Over the course of her marriage, Cooper gave birth to ten children:
 Robert Bransby Cooper (1762-1845)
 Samuel Lovick Cooper (1763-1817)
 William Howman Cooper (1764-1834)
 Charlotte Maria Anna Inyon Cooper (1765-1786)
 Marianne (Cooper) Spurgeon (c. 1765 -1789)
 Astley Paston Cooper (1768-1841)
 Anna Maria Cooper (1770-1770)
 Margaret Bransby Cooper (1772- c. 1783)
 Beauchamp Newton Cooper (1774-1802)
 Anne Maria Inyon Cooper (1777-1793)
One daughter died in infancy and two others in childhood. A further three children died of tuberculosis between 1786 and 1802. The second child, Samuel Lovick Cooper, became a clergyman. A middle son, Astley Cooper, became a prominent English surgeon and anatomist. Astley Cooper in turn influenced his brother Samuel's son Bransby Blake Cooper to himself become a surgeon.

Cooper's husband Samuel died in 1800. In 1806, Cooper went to live with her eldest son, politician Robert Bransby Cooper, in Dursley, Gloucestershire. She died there on 3 July 1807.

Writing

Cooper's earliest writing was in the form of children's books published with John Newbery, though details of these publications have been lost.

She is best known for her epistolary novels, beginning with Letters between Emilia and Harriet (1762). Cooper's most famous work, The Exemplary Mother, or Letters between Mrs. Villars and her Family, was published in two volumes in 1769 and republished in a revised second edition in 1784.

While Cooper has been described as "a well-to-do clergyman's wife" rather than as a professional writer or a bluestocking, she did have some degree of connection to a larger literary community. Her name routinely appeared on the subscription lists of works of other novelists, for example, and novelist Elizabeth Bonhote was a longstanding and "valued friend" who dedicated her Darnley Vale to Cooper in 1789.

Cooper published two novels in 1775 — The Daughter (a heavily revised version of Letters between Emilia and Harriet) and The History of Fanny Meadows — followed by Jane Shore to her Friend: A Poetic Epistle the following year. After her death in 1806, her son Robert Cooper, who was his mother's literary executor, reissued her novels in revised editions. He also published two other works: a collection of short pieces previously published in periodicals, Moral Tales (1811), and a novel, The Wife, or, Caroline Herbert (1813).

Cooper's early work was published anonymously, and even after her success, her books were still attributed to "the author of The Exemplary Mother", though she did begin to sign her introductions. The practice of keeping ones authorship an open secret enabled women authors to maintain a reputation for modesty and was not unusual during this period.

In his introduction to his mother's Moral Tales, Robert Bransby Cooper wrote, "The entertainment and instruction of her children, [and] a sense of duty ... were [her] principal motives." Cooper's novels were indeed heavily didactic, but they also attempted to represent genuine portrayals of realistic people.

Breezy has left very little to the imagination.
Chris Brown has revealed the steamy visuals to his new single 'Back To Sleep', days before the release of his new album.
The video begins with Breezy telling his girl that he needs to come to her house, even though it's late.
Then things gradually get more racy as they get intimate in the shower and bedroom, interspersed with clips of Brown performing in a club.
The video appears to follow-on from the visuals for previous songs 'Liquor', 'Zero' and 'Fine By Me'.
Meanwhile, Breezy has recently released a spree of new music including a surprise 34-track mixtape 'Before The Party', 'Wrist' and 'Anyway' featuring Tayla Parx.


Our (almost) final post-chapter recap. Don't worry, you're almost done! Lets run down our laundry list: Alvin is gone, having vanished when the battle of Murky Waters broke out. Salamandra has be located in the city of Vizima, and now that we know where to strike, we can finally attempt to settle the score with Azar Javed.
The city itself, however, is up in flames due to the conflict between the Scoia'tael and the Order… we are certainly not through dealing with the politics of the two factions. Even if we decided to remain neutral, we'll at least have both sides hostile towards us as we go about our business, and of course, if we sided with the Scoia'tael or the Order, you can bet we'll have to deal with our friends beseeching us for aid.
Last but certainly not least, Adda still wants us dead. How she (and Salamandra, for that matter) are responding to the fighting has yet to be seen, and of course, whether such devastation will prove enough to lure Foltest back to the city is also of interest. There's still alot of work to be done, to be sure, but at least we have something to look forward to, we haven't been guaranteed thus far-some resolution.
This chapter is unlike any other-it's fairly short, especially compared to Chapters 2 and 3, anyways. Also, given the weight of our quests and the variability of the reactions of the NPCs it's just easier to split this chapter up by whichever Geralt we happen to be playing: While going through Old Vizima, you'll consult different blocks of text depending on your political affiliations-either follow the text under the heading "Hope Burns Bright" (Scoia'tael-Aligned Geralt), "The Flame that Cleanses" (Order-Aligned Geralt) or "Under a Fiery Sky" (Neutral Geralt), as appropriate.
It's not my favorite solution to the complexity of this chapter, but it is the simplest-the branching steps will begin when we leave the Castle, and end when we leave Old Vizima… or functionally, to cover the quests "Hope Burns Bright" , "The Flame that Cleanses" , and "Under a Fiery Sky" .
When you arrive, Dandelion will chat with you, generally being unnerved by the violence. He also serves an important function, for once. You can access your stash via him, and since he's not going to be with us for very long, we should take advantage of him now. Drop off everything which is not important-the only things you should have in your satchel are potions and strong alcohol-in your alchemy sack, get rid of all the ingredients that are not common and useful… Potions will be very, very useful in this chapter, in a way they haven't really been on the normal difficulty thus far. Below is a list of pointers-given to you by somebody who knows what lies ahead… and isn't that the point of following a guide?
Bring ten units of strong alcohol with you… less if you already have potions of Cat, Blizzard, Wolverine, Wolf and White Raffard's Decoction. You will, of course, need to make some White Gull to serve as the base for your stronger potions, but this shouldn't be too much of an issue. If you have any Silk Scarves, Red Shawls, Rubies, or Fool's Parsley, bring them with you, too, as they can all be traded for potions later. You have no further use for them, so you might as well bring them along to trade for potions, which you will have a use for.
Head up to the shore, and along the way you'll be bothered by good old Vincent… or a "Guard Captain", if you… ah… allowed him to perish in Chapter 3. If it's Vincent, he'll state that Dandelion is needed by King Radovid, if it's the Guard Captain, Dandelion will be arrested for being a foreign spy-either way, Dandelion will not be coming with you to Old Vizima. You haven't lost his services yet, however.
Ignore the nearby planks leading to the shore and instead follow the docks to the north and cross to the shore there. Here you'll find Radovid and Carmen. Radovid will ask about your goals, and Carmen will either be amiable, or angry, depending on whether you've killed Vincent or not. It's altogether trivial.
Now head to the southern shore, where your old pal Zoltan Chivay will talk to you and explain what's going on. Apparently the Order instigated the riot by killing nonhuman women and children-and with such provocation Yaevinn had little trouble getting most of the nonhuman population to join him. More importantly, Shani has started up a clinic in Old Vizima.
Head up to the bridge connecting Old Vizima to the Temple Quarter. Depending on who you sided with, you'll have to deal with hostile Scoia'tael rebels, Order zealots, or both. Don't bother trying to kill them all-they keep coming, and they don't really drop anything worthwhile-not that you could make use of it if they did, anyways. Head to the gate to Old Vizima and leave the Dike behind-forever. Once you leave, you're done stashing things for the rest of Chapter 5.
Watch a cutscene showing King Foltest taking an ill-advised tour of the battlefield that is his city. He'll be saved by the Grand Master of the Order of the Flaming Rose-apparently an armored knight, but also a mage of some power. Foltest refuses to put his military power in the hands of the racist Order, and when Geralt shows up, Foltest will command that he be brought with him.
You'll be whisked away to the Castle, where he'll tell you that he wants you to lift the curse that has once again caused Adda to become a Striga. They'll also talk a bit about politics, based upon Geralt's decisions thus far. When the conversation is over, you'll be left to chat with Triss, Velerad, and Count de Wett about removing Adda's curse. This starts the quest "Her Highness the Striga" .
Talk to Triss first… she'll be less than happy if you didn't give Alvin over to her in Chapter 3, and ironically states that Alvin would never have vanished had you given him to her (of course, that's not true). If you gave Alvin to Triss in Chapter 3, however, she'll be a bit more friendly. You can declare your hokey love for her, or tell her things can't work out.
Finally, if you've been neutral thus far, you can ask about Raven's Armor you're trying to recreate. Whatever the case, ask about the Striga problem and she'll suggest that somebody recast the curse… or otherwise managed to counter your original work. Being neutral and getting a lead on Raven's armor will update the quest "Armor" .
suggest you find them in caves within the Swamp Cemetery. This starts the quest "Mud and Velvet" . Don't be tempted to say that you don't meddle in politics, either. You can get a badass sword from this quest, so it wouldn't be wise to decline.
Head through a doorway to the north-east and go down a swanky hallway to reach some stairs leading to Foltest's Chambers. Talk to the king and the two of you will babble on about Adda and Salamandra before Foltest decides to get more personal by talking about your relationship with Triss/Shani. Your response will update "Identity" .
Lastly, before Foltest allows you to go he'll sheepishly ask if you'll play Dice Poker with him. Despite his claims of not getting to play very often due to the squeamishness of his opponents, he's the best player in the land… but you only get one chance to play him. Defeat him, and you'll be the best poker player around, and you'll finally finish off "A Game of Dice" . The bets are a minimum of 50 Orens, and can go as high as 400, and if he's got a good hand (or if you do, for that matter) you can ante up to 600 Orens each round… Needless to say, this can get pricey, and you were earlier advised to have at least 2000 Orens to fund this game.
When you're done with Foltest, talk to the Chamberlain and head off to Vizima. This is where our paths split for the rest of this Sequence. During the next sections we'll be skipping everything that's not essential to making it through Old Vizima, in an effort to reunite the guide under a common goal more quickly. After leaving for the first time, it'll become easier to explore, and with access to the Swamp Cemetery, we'll be able to complete all the quests in Old Vizima. Also, don't bother with looting until we reach the Swamp Cemetery, if indeed you must bother with it at all. We shouldn't need most of what we find (although extra strong alcohol might come in handy, for potion-making), we can't store anything we find and most of it's not worth selling in any event. If you must loot, do so when you return after entering the Swamp Cemetery-it'll be quieter, and easier.
With all that said, remember that you want to read "Under a Fiery Sky" if you're playing a neutral Witcher, "The Flame that Cleanses" covers the path of the Order-aligned Witcher, and consult "Hope Burns Bright" if you've sided with the Scoia'tael.

After the re-brand – Thomson has changed to TUI – we think now is a great time to re-visit the brand's past and find out what made the package holiday giant the UK's leading tour operator.
So, sit back and relax as we return to a time when holidays were as cheap as a meal out and resorts sat undeveloped with only a small choice of hotels.
Thomson Airways first took off in 1962, when it flew 82 passengers from Manchester to Palma. But Thomson didn't start selling package holidays until it merged with Skytours, Riviera, Luxitours, Gaytours and Britannia Airways.
As you can see the aircraft has changed drastically to the brand we know and love today.
In the 1960s there was a rise in tourism in the Mediterranean, in particular Spain. This came down to faster jets, which meant travellers were able to reach European hotspots in a matter of hours. This is when Thomson Holidays really made a name for themselves with their fantastically cheap getaways.
Holidays were also advertised on how British they were, with home-from-home dishes come dinner time and staff which spoke English.
In 1972 Thomson acquired Lunn Poly, the largest chain of travel agents in the UK. The name Lunn Poly was used up until 2004, but was later re-branded as Thomson Holidays in a bid to become one giant brand.
At this time, holidaymakers also started venturing a little further, with Thomson package holidays to Greece proving popular. And it's safe to say the prices have changed drastically since the 1970s, with two weeks in the sun costing under £50 per person – less than what you'd pay for a night's stay in the UK these days.
As the first European airline to operate the Boeing 767 in the 1980s, the airline grew and grew, and was later named Thomsonfly in 2005. At this time Instasun became a real contender in the travel market, until Thomson gained Horizon that was.
Thanks to new technology the booking process was made easier and hotels were built with more facilities like tennis courts and watersports. These amenities were seen as added luxuries back then, showing you how much things have changed from today's multi-sports courts and first-class spas.
The bowler hat man advert proved extremely popular in the 1980s, and is still associated with the brand today.
By the time the 1990s came around, large tour operators including Thomson, Airtours and First Choice began investing in smaller names. In terms of the holidays people were going on, UK holidaymakers starting opting for more exotic destinations, which meant spots like the Caribbean and India saw a rise in popularity.
There was also more choice when it came to hotels, with apartment-style accommodation starting to appear. This meant more flexibility for travellers as hotel guests could now cook for themselves.
In 2000, Thomson was acquired by Preussag AG, a German mining company, and was renamed TUI AG in 2002. Then in 2007, Thomson merged with First Choice, making Thomson the biggest tour operator in the UK once again.
Ever since, we seem to have seen a rise in demand for more luxurious holidays, with more and more customers seeking elaborate celebrity-style escapes. Fancy facilities are all the rage now from infinity pools to gourmet restaurants and plush spas.
TUI has finally waved goodbye to its much-loved 'Thomson' name in favour of TUI. The change hopes to attract more customers with more holiday choices, additional hotels and greater flexibility when it comes to flights, eventually becoming one global brand.
But don't worry, you'll still receive the same fantastic service and amazing priced holidays, click here for more information.


If OnePlus 2 and HTC 10 had a baby: OnePlus 3 promo render leaks!
Just yesterday, we were sifting through everything we know so far about the upcoming reiteration of the "flagship killer" — the OnePlus 3. Some leaks have shown us real-life photos of its full-metal body, and some benchmark listings have confirmed a Snapdragon 820 SoC with 4 GB or 6 GB (could be two variants) of RAM. But now, we get to see what looks like a pretty official promo render, thanks to serial leakster Evan Blass (a.k.a. @evleaks).
The image looks a lot like what we've seen in the previously mentioned photos. A handset that does away with the grippy Sandstone back, and replaces it for a matte-finished metal casing, complete with the obligatory antenna lines. The camera module kind of reminds us of the ones we see on the Galaxy S6 and later, while the overall design language has switched away from the typical shapes of the OnePlus One and OnePlus 2, and looks kind of HTC 10-ish.
Of course, we are not pointing fingers, calling "stolen" or "copycat", just doing what the human brain does best – looking for similarities. In all honesty, it looks like a pretty sleek handset and we can't wait to see more of it, or even get to play with one, when the time comes!
In an extra bit of info, @evleaks corrected previous rumors that claimed the battery of the OnePlus 3 will have a 3,500 mAh capacity, by saying it will be a 3,000 mAh juicer instead. However, he does confirm an AMOLED display. Now, all that's left is to find out if it's a 5" or 5.5" panel, as the two rumors are still juxtaposed.
That's too bad about the battery.
Just a heads up didn't see it anywhere so I figured I relay the info .HTC 10 comes out tomorrow on T-mobile's network. Comes with HTC Free Rapid Charger & Ice View Case. $28.34 over 24 months (FRP: $679.99).
Honor 5X IS THAT YOU? ??
This looks good,but please not tablet size!5inch max!
AMOLED 4tw 3000mhz mAh is probably for the 5" version which is fine, chill guys.
Uhh, I'm sorry, that Mate 8 was a typo. I meant Mate 7. But you can look at the (Huawei) Honor 5x as well. Both have squaris camera lenses and that little antenna going to them (as I can recall, non of the HTC One M phones had that). And as for the bottom, it looks just like the new P9's bottom (spiced with a little iPhone). But yes, everyone sees to what they are used to (I saw a lot more Huaweis than HTCs).
HTC One M7 had the little antenna going to it.
That back looks nearly identical to the back of the M9 (granted a bit flatter with the antennae closer to the ends) as well as the Mate 7. Either way, it's not an incorrect statement. And it has the aesthetic that started with HTC's M7, that Huawei later borrowed, and now One Plus. Don't give me wrong, it is a good looking device. But it's pretty clear where their inspiration came from. And it depends on what Phone Arena's traffic looks like. I'm not entirely sure, but I think most of their readership comes from here in the US. But still, point well taken.
I still think the Oneplus One has the better shape and design.
Well. No matter whatever the magic they do, Their sales logic still hurts them. I see 1 OP devices to 10 Other manufacturer devices. They should work on that first.
This looks really nice. I bet the camera will be nice as well. Too bad I just gought an LG G4.
It looks like a cross between the HTC One M9 and HTC 10...so it's a handsome device. If you're going to copy, copy the best.
Looks good...I still wish OnePlus devices had Cyanogen OS.
3,000 mAh is very disheartening.


When it comes to running a successful marketing campaign, it is pretty hard to argue with what Google has to say. They deliver the simplest form of services. Google doesn't just promote the spirit of its own innovation, it also encourages its audience to participate in self discover, telling them they have the potential to make the most out of the internet, out of the web.
Are you targeting the correct audience? If all your marketing efforts are not focusing on your customers, it's a waste of money and effort. You need to focus on your customers and you should be able to recognize your ideal customer so that you can base your efforts on those customers.
What is the gender, age, or job profile of your customer? What are your customers' abilities, interests, likes, dislikes, etc? When you do a proper audit, you will know your customer inside out. You are busy promoting your brand with zeal. You might be looking to send out a message, increase your followers, or improve your conversion rate. For each thing you want your audience to do, you will need to have a call to action that is effective. In fact, this call to action is a key part of promoting your brand and engaging with your customers, yet another reason why a brand audit can be extremely beneficial.
Let's have a quick look at the best brand audit process.
Learn how your company is placing across the internet. There are many tools you can use to see where your brand is being mentioned – Google Search, Social Mention, Google Alerts, etc. You should be monitoring whether your brand is doing good or bad, where it needs to be improved, what your customer base is, what their needs are, and whether you have any bad reviews.
Take time to analyze your content. This can be tedious but since your content plays such an important role in your brand becoming established, it is worth your time to do a solid SEO audit. In fact, it's mandatory. Check how your pages are ranking, identify the purpose of each page, and figure out if the information is properly targeting your audience.
Monitor your social media channels and see what your customers are saying. Anytime there are complaints address them immediately. Make sure your interaction with your customers has the tone you want.
Managing your online brand and your engagement with your customers means you need to always be focused on what's going on.

Was your first reaction red-hot outrage when you saw yesterday's headline, "Drunken driver gets 120 days in plea deal for killing woman in Uptown crash"?
Outrage sure sums up how I felt.
Especially reading word of this seemingly light punishment alongside headlines of a Grand Prairie woman sentenced to eight years in prison for voter fraud and a Mesquite teacher's aide sentenced to six months for misappropriating government funds after lying about having cancer.
Yes, different courts and different systems. But Travis Elwell killed an innocent person who was simply going about her business in broad daylight on a February 2015 afternoon.
Emily Javadi, 34, died after a car barreled into her car parked on McKinney Avenue. Javadi was leaning into the backseat of her car at the time of the crash. She was thrown into a pole and later died at a hospital.
DWI/intoxication manslaughter perp Elwell was speeding down McKinney Avenue with an alcohol level more than twice the legal limit when he crashed into Emily Javadi's parked car. The 34-year-old was loading items into her backseat when Elwood's car struck hers; the impact flung her 200 hundred feet into a metal pole. She died an hour later.
— No drinking A Breathalyzer device must be used before starting his vehicle, plus he must undergo an additional five to six Breathalyzer tests per day.
— Required attendance at AA meetings and at speaking engagements involving others charged with drunken driving.
— Every year, on the anniversary of Javadi's death, Elwell must spend a week in jail.
Javadi's family, which certainly knows far more about the story than I do, showed a level of compassion at sentencing that I'm not sure I'd be capable of faking, much less feeling.
For instance, Emily's mother, Karen, said a longer jail sentence would have hurt Elwell's child. Imagine that in the aftermath of losing her own daughter, her thoughts were with the perpetrator's youngster.
As Ethan Couch faces judge, can't we move faster on deadly Dallas DWIs?
So as tempted as I was to simply write a rant about the injustice of only four months in jail and rail again about our society's continued leniency when it comes to DWI and intoxication manslaughter, this time I sought professional help.
I called Messina Madson, who until recently was first assistant DA for Dallas County.
Madson agreed to talk to me because, although she's no less incensed about drunken drivers than I am, as a former prosecutor, she does understand the context so often lost in the headlines.
Here's her bottom line: Not only are DWI cases litigated even more fervently than murder cases, no jury is more difficult to predict than one seated for a drunken driving-related case.
So often the perpetrator resembles the people in the jury box — someone who has no other criminal behavior in his past, holds a job and has a family.
"Jurors identify with the defendant and they can see their offense as a mistake, not a crime," Madson said. "They identify with this crime more than any other."
Remember that any jury trial is a crap shoot. That's why Madson always sat down with victims in all her cases and reminded them: "You are picking 12 people you have never met to make the most important decision of your life."
Madson says that while she has a lot of confidence in predicting a jury, "murder is easier to predict than DWI. It's too often a complete tossup about whether this will be probation or prison."
That's why cases such as the one in which Elwell killed Emily Javadi both break a prosecutor's heart and terrify that prosecutor as well. Madson says explaining to a family, "I know you have lost a loved one, but here's why the jury may view it as a mistake" was among her most difficult conversations.
While four months of jail time for taking a person's life still doesn't feel satisfactory to me, the conditions of Elwell's probation do seem sturdy and designed to correct a problem.
Assuming that Dallas County doesn't let Elwell wiggle around his daily Breathalyzer checks, perhaps he will go alcohol-free for 10 years and resolve a potential drinking problem. And having to show up for a week in jail on the anniversary of Javadi's death each year will make it difficult to forget he took a life.
As Emily Javadi's mother said, the real test will be whether he keeps making speeches when his probation is up. "I hope he turns around his life and becomes a better person," she said.
As for the rest of us — all potential jurors some day — if we really want to reduce drunken driving deaths, we need to change society's forgiving attitude toward these so-called mistakes. Only then will prosecutors have faith that we will judge these takers-of-innocent-lives with the same toughness we do other bad guys.


Did negligent security contribute to the victims death at a Columbia apartment complex and are justice and compensation available to the victims families?
Gunfire erupted Thursday morning and "[t]wo men were killed in a shooting at an apartment complex in northeast Columbia," according to TheState.com. "Two males were found dead in building 14 at Willow Run Apartments on Alcott Drive shortly after 9 a.m….[t]heir identities have not yet been released," according to WisTV.com.
Media reports indicate that this Columbia apartment complex may have been the location of additional shooting investigations. Specifically, WisTV.com reported on incidents at this apartment complex in July 2008 and November 2011.
Have there been prior incidents of violence on property?
If prior incidents of violence exist, what did the property owners do after the incident to address that situation?
What security measures, such as bright lighting, gated-entry, fencing, monitored surveillance cameras, and visible security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the shooting?
Generally, property owners are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the apartment complex owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the victims families may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for the victims wrongful death.


What a beautiful day! Woke up feeling blessed as always. It's sunny outside looks great, cannot wait to step out and enjoy the sun, before I do that I want to share my notes with you, from a sermon by Dr Charles Stanley. Sharing is caring I hope this helps someone today, because it sure helped me.
What to do you spend most of your time thinking about?
Taking Control Of Our Thoughts: Dr Charles Stanley.
It makes a difference what we think, your life is an expression of what you thinking.
· We sow a thought and reap an action.
· We sow an action and reap a habit.
· We sow a habit and reap a character.
· We sow a character and reap a destiny.
Our thoughts have consequences; unseen thoughts produce visible consequences.
· Where will this thought lead me?
· Will these thoughts get me where I want to go?
· Are these thoughts scripturally acceptable?
· Will these thoughts build me up or tear me down?
· Could I share these thoughts with someone else?
· Where did these thoughts originate?
· Do I feel guilty thinking these thoughts?
· Do these thoughts fit who I am as a follower of Jesus?
Jesus Christ did not come with a life-shortening suggestion but with a life-saving power. His highest wish is for us to prosper and have health in both soul and body. He said, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth (3 John 2).
Thank you all for reading I appreciate you. May you be blessed today tomorrow and forever. Stay blessed. Thank you.
This is really interesting subject for me as I've had real troubles in the past with thoughts so would like to share some insight on this subject to hope make a difference out there.
Thoughts derive from 2 places Iver fear or love.
I have lived in fear for far to long and let me tell you it's debilitating. So much so these fears were coming alive all around me. Very frightening place I have been in in past due to mentally ill sickness well on earth it's known. My spiritual beliefs tell me diffrent.This was a battle against a demon in my life that was haunting me since birth.11 years old I grew up with child hood anxities these were irrational fears I could never talk about for many years. I lived with these irrational fears for many years Until one day my fears came upon me.
Demons feed of fear be aware of this.
They came through my thoughts Known as intrusive thoughts aka ocd,schizorphrenia on earth I know it as a demon in my life named baal.my fears projected in to reality this was scary. Baal Was trying to take my soul he had fed of my fear since 11 years old. This was a battle for my soul. I was sick in the mind on earth but I don't see myself as sick more that there was a spiritual battle for my soul between god and baal.
The closer I get to God the more the devil attacks my weaknesses but thank the heavenly father he was there for me he's ways kept me safe and in the light.
God sent me the knowledge I needed to conquer this demon baal.
Angels sent me signs and messages through the Bible he tooled me up with the full armour of god.
This spiritual attack had me debilitated,but through repentance and pray I was saved I finally found the courage to confront these fears.
With staying close to God I conquered this demon in my life I can testify now this was god who blessed me the courage to face my fears,he blessed me the help I received, he blessed me spiritually.
Facing this fear took away my intrusive thoughts.This demon had gone thank goodness in my life i was free of this fear I had exposed it. Exposing demons takes away there power.
So don't be ashamed just know the worst thoughts are from fear and that fear is irrational and facing these fears in baby steps is ok it took me 22 years.
So take care of your thoughts choose love over fear, self love is helpful living a godly way conquers the spirits of fear.

In children's parties, a recreation of "pin the tail on the donkey" will not be as enjoyable with out the music. The radio-friendly track obviously has extra enchantment to the women and I can simply hear it being played in clubs all around the nation and the world, weekend after weekend. Love Music Junior Choir has been created to encourage youngsters from all throughout the town, bringing together and celebrating our rich and various communities and cultures. You are instructed to allocate time for them to observe the musical instruments at home in a constant manner.
Dodds and Danforth (2009) downloaded the lyrics to virtually 250,000 songs composed between 1960 and 2007. A large musical vocabulary means you'll be able to talk with a variety of individuals, and by extension, cultures. What we should always do is to permit our kids to strive all kinds of musical devices. As Director of I Love Music academy Nakul leads with the experience of working the academy since inception in 2009 appearing as its guiding beacon.

It has the assist of tons of of artists like Rosanne Money, Duke Fakir of the Four Tops, Elvis Costello, Martha Reeves, Elton John and Frequent.
When your child is used to hearing your musical aspect, you would be amazed at how much comfort you can give while driving down the road singing. I am over that, having realized way back that I would wish more than a cat's lifetimes to take heed to every little thing I have already got. Benjamin Clementine: Sure, I feel so. It is not very straightforward to listen to a music for a whole 5 minutes and play it from scratch.

Q: How to add background color only to main element and not :before and :after I'm trying to style a heading to look like this:

The issue is that when I try to add a background color to the h2, it applies to the :before and :after content as well and spans the width of the page. I only want it applied to the h2.
I've tried adding a div inside the h2 and styling that instead of the h2.

.styled-heading {
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 32px;
  background: black;
  color: white;
}

.styled-heading:before {
  content: " ";
  display: inline-block;
  margin: 0 0px 8px 0;
  background-color: #999;
  height: 3px;
  width: 140px;
}

.styled-heading:after {
  content: " ";
  display: inline-block;
  margin: 0 0 8px 00px;
  background-color: #999;
  height: 3px;
  width: 140px;
}

Testing Testing

A: I would do this differently without pseudo element:

.styled-heading {
  font-size: 32px;
  color: white;
  display:table; /* to make the element fit the content */
  margin:auto;  /* to center */
  /* The border will be the space for the lines*/
  border-left:50px solid transparent;
  border-right:50px solid transparent;

  padding:5px 10px;
  background:
     /* main background cover only the padding*/
    linear-gradient(green,green) padding-box,
    /* the Line cover also the border area (width:100% height:3px)*/
    linear-gradient(blue,blue) center/100% 3px border-box no-repeat;
}

Testing Testing

You can also have each line alone if you want:

.styled-heading {
  font-size: 32px;
  color: white;
  display:table; /* to make the element fit the content */
  margin:auto;  /* to center */
  /* The border will be the space for the lines*/
  border-left:50px solid transparent;
  border-right:50px solid transparent;

  padding:5px 10px;
  background:
     /* main background cover only the padding*/
    linear-gradient(green,green) padding-box,
    /* the Line cover also the border area*/
    linear-gradient(blue,blue) left  center/50% 3px border-box no-repeat,
    linear-gradient(red,red)   right center/50% 3px border-box no-repeat;
}

Testing Testing

A: Pseudo element is not the way to do this. Pseudo elements are part of the element. This works:

.header-pinch {
 position: relative;
 height: 3px;
 width: 500px;
 z-index: 1;
 overflow: visible;
 background: grey;
}
.header-pop {
 position: relative;
 z-index: 2;
 background: black;
 color: white;
 width: fit-content;
 padding: 5px;
        margin: auto;
 transform: translateY(-50%);
}

Syria Warns UN of Impending Fabricated Chemical Attack
Miri Wood- January 28, 2020 - Syria- 2 Comments
On Monday 27 January, Syria's Foreign and Expatriates Ministry dispatched a diplomatic letter to the UN Secretary-General Antonio Gutteres and to the head of the Security Council, reporting that another fabricated chemical attack is planned in the Idlib-Aleppo area, under the direction of Turkey.
From SANA:
…the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said that it has become known to everyone that whenever terrorist groups feel cornered, the "White Helmets" terrorist group begins staging fake chemical attacks upon the instructions of their masters in Western states in order to accuse the Syrian government of using chemical weapons and create a pretext for a military attack on Syria led by Washington and its allies.
Given that NATO stenography media neglected to report on OPCW investigator Ian Henderson's address to the Arria-Formula UN process, stating there was no chemical attack in Douma, we do not anticipate any reporting on this diplomatic note.
Mr. Henderson was "the inspection team leader who developed and launched the inspections, the highly intrusive inspections of the Barzeh facility just outside Damascus. I did the inspections and wrote the report for the two inspections prior to and the inspection after the (chemical facility) or the laboratory complex at Barzeh had been destroyed by the missile strike."
As the text of the urgent letter to the rabid hyena mob controlling the UN is not available, the author provides the link, here, to the SANA report, and will provide a refresher course on chemical weapons threats, hoaxes, and attacks by terrorists against Syria.
Syria's diplomat H.E. Bashar al Jaafari also gave a statement at the Arria Formula process hosted by the Russian Mission to the United Nations, 20 January. Dr. Jaafari noted that the story of chemical weapons in Syria began long before the Douma fabrications. They occurred in December 2012, when two videos of fatal rabbit experiments, performed in Turkey, were uploaded to YouTube, with threats to deploy the chemicals against Syrian.
The western world did not hear of these chilling threats, because the UN ignored Syria's request for an investigation. The world also did not hear of the chemical attack [weapons grade chlorine, as survivors reported on being overwhelmed by this unmistakable odor] in Khan al Asal, 19 March 2013, in which 25 persons were murdered, including 19 soldiers in the Syrian Arab Army.
The Syrian Arab Republic reiterates its stern condemnation of any use of chemical weapons by anyone, under any circumstances, and any place . — Foreign and Expatriates Ministry, in diplomatic letter to the UN, and SG.
The western world did not hear of the murderous chemical attack in Khan al Asal, nor did it hear that Syria immediately requested an investigation. The request was sabotaged by France and Britain — and then, emphatically, by Israel.
All of the western world heard of sarin, though. The entire planet heard of it, as surely did the Moon and Mars, also. On 23 April, forty-three days after Syria asked for an investigation into the 19 March chemical attack which massacred Syrian soldiers, Israeli Brig. Gen (Ret.) Itai Bruin announced to the solar system that Syria used sarin against the 'rebels,' on that date, and the media repeated it, over and over, like that Gobbels Big Lie (NYT's Sanger, after writing his missive in full support of the Gobbels Big Lie, shamelessly complained to CNN's Amanpour that Bruin offered nothing in the way of evidence.).
Such war criminal propaganda has been simplified with the appearance of those stethoscope-less, spinal precautions, CPR, and bagging incompetent fraud responding White Helmets.
The stethoscope is the most important tool in emergency care. Deep state MSM has not noticed the death squad Helmets do not have even one to share.
The White Helmets were a creation of British intelligence, funded by the UK's Foreign Office and the US's CIA, to function as the public relations marketing campaign to manipulate the masses into supporting the destruction of sovereign nations. That this is their purpose, is also the reason that no 'liberal,' 'conservative,' nor 'neutral' media have ever noticed this gang does not have first response equipment, nor has any of its members been trained in the rudiments of 'first response.' The Goebbels Big Lie related to the "Nusra Helmets" also includes the scam that they are neutral and unarmed.

Who had heard of the White Helmets before the Hollywood 5th column gave them an Oscar, in February 2017? Even having a statue bestowed upon them still fell far short of the marketing that occurred on 4 April of that year.
At 0638, CNN broke the Goebbels Big Lie of Syria launching a chemical attack, on Khan Sheikhoun, which is in Syria. That day overflowed with interviews of Shajal Islam, live and on those running loops. Nobody questioned his remarkably good internet, despite being so besieged, nor how he managed to continue giving interviews, and put out appeals for money, while caring for the millions of afflicted Syrians, reputedly pouring in to his hospital, throughout the day.
Was it not odd, that not a single medium discovered that Islam is illegal in Syria, which means he is not permitted to practice medicine? Was it not even odder that not a single medium discovered his medical license was permanently revoked in his native UK because he had been indicted on terrorism charges? Or even that his 'charity' was under investigation?
This Brit illegal was the source of the anti-Syria 'sarin' hoax.
British Nusra spokesman Shajul Islam had his medical license permanently revoked.
Brit undoctor Shajul Islam raises money for Nusra terrorists via charity under British investigation.
Despite sanctions, coalition destroyed infrastructure, the British terrorist undoctor was able to give video interviews all day.
Possibly most telling that all MSM is aligned with Gobbels in the propagation of war crimes, is that nobody noticed that Trump bombed Syria for al Qaeda, based on interviews with a Brit illegal, undoctor marketed by "fake news! CNN."
Undoctor Islam's background was erased from knowledge. Other important preludes were also missing from the news. During the last week of March 2017, terrorists kidnapped 250 civilians from Majal and Khattab. This was the pool for the massacre in Khan Sheikhoun, though it was mostly children murdered with the fast-acting poison whose efficacy is seen in the second rabbit experiment, murdered live, for the camera.
Look at this baby; his painful agonal breathing was shown to the world, by the Helmets, on 4 April. He was murdered with that same poison that the UN refused to investigate, in December 2012. The multi-million dollar stenographers avert their eyes, count their pieces of silver, and then rage for censorship of those who dare to condemn these atrocities.
Remember this child? Stripped naked, pummeled with a power hose, poisoned in snuff porn propaganda?
What type of moral degenerate murders children for the camera? What type of moral degenerate pimps it as news?
What type of pedonecrophiliac plays with corpses of massacred kids, whose deaths were torturous, by using computer-generated imagery to affix cheerful caps to their genitalia?

This was one of the photos Nikki Haley held up at the UN. Though the pedonecrophiliac degeneracy was cropped out, it is likely that she, Trump, Ivanka, the Pentagon, CNN, NYT, et al. saw the original.
Beyond depraved.
The Foreign and Expatriates Ministry has presented a diplomatic letter to the UN, and its Secretary-General, demanding le dénouement of the impending chemical fabrication, all of the terrorists' crimes against Syrians, "including their use of chemical weapons." The letter also demanded the UN support of Syria's legitimate war on terrorists in Syria. Given that the SG has not condemned the sabotage of the undersea pipelines at the Bayinas Marine Terminal, and given that the SG did not condemn the UK's pirating of the Iranian oil tanker suspected of being en route to Syria, it is not promising.
It is further less likely, given that in May 2017, the SG haughtily presented the criminal status update of OPCW's fake investigation in Khan Sheikhoun, to the Security Council, with a cover letter that contained the serious lie that the FFM was "in the Syrian Arab Republic regarding a reported incident in Khan Shaykhun on 4 April 2017."
Guterres intro letter said the report came from the Syrian Arab Republic, though OPCW stated too dangerous for investigators to enter Khan Sheikhoun.
Surely he knew that the status update reported that Khan Sheikhoun was just too, too, too dangerous, with all those terrorists, for OPCW investigators to enter, investigators who did not trust Qatar's offer to keep them safe (likely remembering Qatar's fake protection in al Rashidin, 15 April 2017, in which upwards of 130 people were slaughtered). The extent of the fake investigation by the team was to say they trusted the White Helmets members who gave them the fake evidence.
Collecting GB ("sarin") samples in sandals & paper mask (GB is both pneumonic & transdermal) to present to the OPCW investigators in Turkey.
Of the last several weeks, terrorists have targeted several Aleppo neighborhoods, bombing apartment buildings with NATO-provided ground-to-ground weapons. There have been no reports from NATO stenographer journalists.
The savages are in their last throes of carnage knowledge. They are cornered rats, the most dangerous type of rodents, with no more green buses to enter. The White Helmet meth freak in fried brain meltdown is cornered.
Syria announced the end of the unilateral cessation of hostilities, and its irrevocable commitment to rid every inch of its homeland of empire-owned human garbage. This is why there is another chemical hoax afoot; F/UK/US has demonstrated its affinity to act as al Qaeda's air force in Syria, as long as those beasts have a media story.
The savages are howling, including the ones in very expensive suits.
It has just been announced that the Syrian Arab Army has cleansed Maarat al Numan.
We can anticipate that the shrieks may become louder.
