Directed by Ryan Coogler. Screenplay by Coogler and Joe Robert Cole. A Marvel release playing at Franklin Park, Fallen Timbers, Levis Commons, Bowling Green, and Mall of Monroe. Rated PG-13 for prolonged sequences of action violence and a brief rude gesture. Running time: 174 minutes.
Cast: Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, and Andy Serkis.
Black Panther isn't just the Marvel superhero film we need. It's the superhero film we want.
And, likely, one that many will want to see again.
A James Bond-like action thriller with gadgets, international heists, and memorable villains, but with a social awareness and cause, Black Panther is the most original Marvel superhero film since Guardians of the Galaxy, its best superhero debut since Iron Man, and its best overall superhero film since the original Avengers.
Introduced onscreen two years ago in Captain America: Civil War after the murder of his father in a terrorist bombing, the cool and mysterious Black Panther more than held his own against Marvel's elite — in combat and verve — and stood out in a film crowded with superheroes.
In his solo outing, we learn the Black Pather's backstory as T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman), the former prince and newly crowned king of the African nation of Wakanda, the most technologically advanced country in the world, and the most guarded, with much of it hidden behind a protective camouflaged dome from the outside world.
In a long line of Wakanda's kings, T'Challa was endowed with superhuman strength and agility so that he could become the Black Panther, the nation's protector.
And with the return of the crazed British mercenary Ulysses Klaue (played with manic gusto by Andy Serkis), who discovered Wakanda years ago and proceeded to kill many of its citizens, he leads his warrior general, Okoye (Danai Gurira), and ex-girlfriend, Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o), a spy for Wakanda, on a mission to apprehend him.
In keeping with Marvel's themes of strong female heroes, Nyong'o as a hero who puts cause before country and Gurira as a hero who puts country before cause are vibrant and memorable; the battles they join are fierce and packed with action. But the outcome is not so easy, especially with a former soldier-turned ruthless killer named Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan who goes under-the-table rather than over-the-top) in Ulysses' employ and who has his own issues with Wakanda.
On the good guys' side, at least, is CIA agent Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and T'Challa's gadget-minded sister, Shuri (Letitia Wright), sort of the Black Panther's Q, who provides cool gadgets to the Black Panther along with sarcasm. T'Challa's mother, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett) and Wakanda priest named Zuri (Forest Whitaker) have smaller but important parts to play in the story.
But Black Panther belongs to Boseman (42, Marshall). An easy and natural fit for the role, much like Robert Downey, Jr., is to Iron Man, Boseman is as convincing with the Black Panther's punches and kicks as he is T'Challa's struggles to be a more humane leader, particularly as it relates to doing more to help others.
As the first solo black superhero film since Wesley Snipes' vampire hunter Blade debuted 20 years ago, Black Panther carries significant weight and director and co-writer Ryan Coogler is emboldened by it.
Socially relevant without being preachy, action packed without being dumb, Black Panther is the intersection of the brilliant young filmmaker's previous works of cause and culture: the powerful 2013 biography Fruitvale Station, about the last hours of Oscar Grant, who died after being handcuffed and shot by a Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer in 2009, and 2015's crowd-pleasing Rocky sequel, Creed.
Not since Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises has a superhero film so openly expressed politics — not so much ideology but a cultural mood — and taken so many chances.


The global bicycle industry is expected to witness moderate growth over the next five years and reach an estimated $64.1 billion by 2018. Growing fitness consciousness among people, rising energy prices, growing congestion due to increasing population and number of cars on roads is expected to drive the bicycle industry over the next five years.
Lucintel, a leading global Management Consulting and market research firm, has analyzed the global bicycle industry and presents its findings in "Global Bicycle Industry 2013-2018: Trends, Profit, and Forecast Analysis." The industry is highly fragmented with top player capturing approximately 4% of the industry share. Competitive rivalry in the industry is high. Domestic manufacturers face huge competition from Chinese low-cost bicycles.
The bicycle manufacturing industry comprises companies primarily engaged in manufacturing all kinds of bicycles, including electric bicycles, parts, and accessories. Shimano, Giant Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Merida Industry Co. Ltd., Accell Group, and Dorel Industries are the major players in this industry.
The growth of cycling as a leisure activity and due to growing environmental concerns by consumers, bicycles are emerging as an alternative for shorter distance transportation that causes no pollution. The industry, however, faces some challenges such as rising raw material costs and the increasing demand and popularity of motor bikes. Government initiatives to promote cycling in order to reduce carbon emissions and noise pollution are a strong growth driver. In addition, bicycles' energy efficiency, coupled with cycling as a fitness activity, will help propel demand during the forecast period.
This study provides an overview of the global bicycle industry and tracks industry performance in four regions. The report studies manufacturers serving this segment, providing a five-year annual trend analysis that highlights market size, profit, and cost structure for North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of World regions. The report also provides a forecast, addressing market opportunities for five years for each region. This report represents industry size from the consumption aspect. More than 80% of the industry sales are generated by private players.

"The good agreements reached by the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Treaties, which have expressed that Australia has a responsibility for those people it chooses to expel to other countries, and that this responsibility extends to how they are being treated by the authorities, the police or the courts in those countries are very welcome indeed," WA Human Rights group Project SafeCom said today, "but they are only part of the picture of responsibilities that Australia has to those it expels."
"During the Howard years, and even in the last six months, under the Rudd government, Australia has deported hundreds of asylum seekers who failed their claims under Australia's often failing asylum seeker assessment processes, and the former government wrongly claimed to have no responsibility for those deported asylum seekers beyond the Australian airport environment," spokesman Jack H Smit said.
"We warmly welcome the intentions expressed by the Parliamentary Committee, but both monitoring, and conversely, a refusal by Australian authorities to share personal information of deported persons, should be carefully weighted and implemented."
"Australia has been guilty of serious breaches of treaties and conventions in its treatment of asylum seekers, and many people who we deemed to not be refugees, have been deported back to the countries they fled from, their personal details and identifiers have been shared with authorities of those countries upon their arrival, and this has led to their imprisonment, torture, arrest, intimidation of their immediate relatives, and also to unlawful killings and murder of those deported persons."
"Project SafeCom calls on the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Treaties to also consider Australia's Obligations under the United Nations Refugee Convention and its provisions of non-refoulement, and make firm and safe determinations and implement protocols for the deportation processes of asylum seekers if they are rejected under our asylum assessment processes."
Federal police should be barred from sharing information with other countries if it exposes Australian citizens to the death penalty, a parliamentary committee says.
Six of the so-called Bali Nine drug mules are on death row in Indonesia after Australian police helped tip off Indonesian authorities in 2005.
The joint standing committee on treaties wants a review of policy on international police cooperation and other information exchanges.
Committee chair Labor MP Kelvin Thompson said the recommendation was aimed at ensuring better protection of human rights.
"(The committee's) inquiry did raise issues in relation to police-to-police cooperation," Mr Thompson told parliament.
"The committee has recommended a review of police-to-police cooperation and intelligence-sharing arrangements.
"Information should not be exchanged with another country if doing so would expose an Australian citizen to the death penalty."
The committee also recommended Australia adopt closer scrutiny of people who are extradited from this country.
"The committee has raised a number of concerns in its report about the general operation of Australia's current treaty model for extradition," Mr Thompson said.
"Australia's responsibility for persons extradited should not end at the conclusion of the extradition process but should extend to monitoring the detention of extradited persons, the judicial proceedings they are subject to, their sentencing and their imprisonment.
"The committee considers that a formal system should be established by the government to monitor the status of extradited persons."

Ofelia's kittens
When Ofelia was expecting her kittens we had many combination of names depending on if she was having 1 male, 1 female, 2males, 2 females, 1 male and 1 female and so on.
She had 3 males and 1 female, and we decided the names after this combination - or as a matter of facts after a combination of 2 males and 1 female.
Misja Benjamin
A reservation for a male was made before the litter was born, and the new owner could choose the name of him herself. She decided his name to be Misja Benjamin. Misja, because she found it a good name for a Russian Blue, and Benjamin after her late and much beloved cat.
Her first Benjamin had got this name, because he was the last born kitten in the very last litter of this particular cat mother called Gammelmis ("Old Puss"). Colloquially Benjamin was called Missen ("Puss"), but Benjamin was his real name. Perhaps Benjamin had a Russian Blue among his forefathers.
Djingiz
Djingiz was named after the Kyrgyz author Djingiz Ajtmatov (Danish transcription, in English: Chingiz Aitmatov). Kyrgyzstan didn't get a written language until the 20th century, and Djingiz Ajtmatov was the first to write novels in Kyrgyz.
Besides it refers to Djengis Khan (English: Genghis Khan), the mighty Mongolian prince (1162-1227). Djengis Khan's original name was Temudjin, but he took the name Djengis meaning "The mighty ruler", when he had united all the nomadic tribes of Mongolia under his rule.
Our Djingiz might have liked to be the mighty ruler as well, but it wasn't quite so.
Bourtai
The wife of Djengis Khan was called Bourtai, so we named the little female kitten after her.
In her first home she was called Tasha, but when she at the age of 6 got a new home, she was again called Bourtai.
Kublai
The second mighty Mongolian prince was the grandson of Djengis Khan, Kublai Khan (1214-1294). Kublai Khan conquered China where he founded the Yuan dynasty.
The third male was to be called Kublai, and he was also called Kublai with his new owners.

Q: Openshift redirect to https using flask-base example I'm trying to run my flask based app on free gear on Openshift only on https. Following this - I have added the .htaccess file to the root of my repo but it seems to be ignored, as it is not redirecting. The article talks about a wsgi directory but I have none, so I'm not sure about the place. I have created the app using this example:
$cat .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

A: My understanding for the OpenShift setup is that the .htaccess file can only be used in conjunction with static files and not the dynamic part of your application. To use the standard Apache/mod_wsgi setup you would have to instead use a WSGI middleware that wraps your Flask application to force the redirection.
The only alternative I can offer is that you side step the standard Apache/mod_wsgi installation they provide and instead use mod_wsgi-express as outlined in:

*

*http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2015/01/using-alternative-wsgi-servers-with.html
When using mod_wsgi-express then I would be able to explain a way of adding an additional Apache configuration snippet to trigger the redirection.

UPDATE 1
FWIW, my understanding that this would only be possible for the 'wsgi/static' directory in the older style of setting up OpenShift was because the actual WSGI application would have been mapped with the WSGIScriptAlias directive.
Except for file system access permissions, being setup in a Directory block in the Apache configuration file, there was never a specific intention in the way WSGIScriptAlias worked in mod_wsgi for a .htaccess file within a directory referred to by the WSGIScriptAlias directive to be consulted. It looks like that is actually possible, at least with Apache 2.X, not sure about Apache 1.3 although possibly it worked there as well.
So it looks like the OpenShift folks have stumbled across something which is possible that isn't documented for mod_wsgi and which I as the person who wrote mod_wsgi didn't even expect to necessarily work. I am going to have to think this one through now, as there may be things one can do in the .htaccess file which can screw with how mod_wsgi works. It may also open up some strange possibilities for what users with no access to the main Apache configuration can do as well, possibly good, but also maybe bad.
Reiterating what I said in other comments, OpenShift has supported two different ways of setting up a WSGI application. The older way was to create a subdirectory called 'wsgi' and in that add an 'application' file which would be the WSGI script file. There could also be a 'wsgi/static' directory for static files. The newer way they document and now seem to recommend is to create a 'wsgi.py' file in the root directory of the project for the WSGI script file. The name of this can be overridden with an environment variable set with 'rhc set-env'.
I haven't checked for what they generate for the configuration for the older arrangement, but they could have setup the Apache configuration to allow Apache overrides in the 'wsgi' subdirectory, meaning that a .htaccess file can be placed there. This wouldn't be normal practice, but it seems they found it to work and would allow certain types of overrides.
If they have done that for the 'wsgi' subdirectory, it doesn't seem though they did the same thing for the root directory when they switched to preferring a 'wsgi.py' in the top directory.
Either way, using mod_wsgi-express as I mention will give you back a much higher level of control over how Apache and mod_wsgi is setup. The pre canned configuration isn't really flexible and some of the guesses made for the configuration based on gear size aren't necessarily appropriate as they don't take into consideration the requirements of the application itself, which only the user would know.

A: The .htaccess file needs to go inside of your wsgi folder within your python application.

A: As mentioned in Graham Dumpleton's answer OpenShift supports different layouts for a Python App. If you are using the wsgi.py approach, do the following to redirect all requests to https:
mkdir wsgi
mv wsgi.py wsgi/application
touch wsgi/.htaccess

Add the following content to the .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

Das Marianne-Weber-Gymnasium (MWG) ist eines von zwei Gymnasien in Lemgo, Kreis Lippe. Es wurde nach der Frauenrechtlerin und Rechtshistorikerin Marianne Weber benannt.

Geschichte
Bereits in  einer Urkunde von 1323 wurden in Lemgo die puellae scolares erwähnt, Schülerinnen der Klosterschule von St. Marien.

Die 1837/1838 eröffnete Vorgängerschule des heutigen Gymnasiums war zunächst als privat geführte Töchterschule in einem Zimmer des alten Waisenhauses untergebracht. Während der Märzrevolution 1848/49 wurde der Lehrbetrieb eingestellt. Die Stadt hatte die Bezuschussung mit Begründung eingestellt, dass die Lemgoer Bürgertöchter ihren Unterricht in der Bürgerschule empfangen. Ab 1853 wurde die Schule von einem Pastor wieder als Privatschule weitergeführt. 1873 zog die Schule in die Klosterkapelle auf dem Rektorhof im Rampendal (heutiges Stadtarchiv Lemgo) um, 1911 zog die Schule in das Haus am Wall in der Primkerstraße. Zwei Jahre später hieß die Schule Höhere Mädchenschule.

Ab 1918 wurden in der Schule auch Jungen aufgenommen. Seit 1923 untersteht die Schule der städtischen Verwaltung und wurde in Städtisches Lyzeum umbenannt. Nachdem die Schule 1939 Oberlyzeum wurde, konnte dort auch die Reifeprüfung abgelegt werden.
Seit 1961 befindet sich das Marianne-Weber-Gymnasium in den Gebäuden in der Franz-Liszt-Straße. 2009 wurde das Marianne-Weber-Gymnasium zum ersten Ganztagsgymnasium in Lemgo.

Marianne Weber
Noch zu ihren Lebzeiten wurde das Gymnasium 1950 nach ihrer berühmtesten Schülerin Marianne Weber, geborene Schnitger, Ehefrau des Soziologen Max Weber, benannt, die ab 1887 dort zur Schule gegangen war. Marianne Weber war im nahen Oerlinghausen geboren, verbrachte jedoch nach dem frühen Tod ihrer Mutter und wegen der Krankheit ihres Vaters ihre Kindheit, Schulzeit und Jugend bei ihren beiden Tanten Florentine und Marie Schnitger in Lemgo, die beide als Lehrerinnen an der damaligen Töchterschule arbeiteten. Marie Schnitger war 1898 Vorsteherin der Schule.

2021 begab sich das Marianne-Weber-Gymnasium in Lemgo erstmals auf eine intensive Spurensuche nach dem Vermächtnis ihrer Namensgeberin, entdeckte historische Orte und alte Dokumente, machte zwei Zeitzeuginnen ausfindig, drehte Filme und äußerte sich in vielen persönlichen Briefen an Marianne Weber. Es entstand das von Romy Brüggemann (Marianne-Weber-Gymnasium) herausgegebene Buch "Ihrer Zeit voraus – Marianne Weber im Blick unserer Schule".

Lernangebote und Kooperationen
Das Marianne-Weber-Gymnasium bietet in der Sekundarstufe I jeweils eine Sportklasse und eine bilinguale Klasse pro Jahrgangsstufe an. Die Sportklasse bietet den Vorteil für junge Profi-Sportler, dass es eine optimierte zeitliche Koordination der schulischen Notwendigkeiten mit den sportlichen Erfordernissen gibt, diese entsteht durch eine enge Zusammenarbeit der Vereine und Stützpunkte mit den Sportklassenkoordinatoren in allen Jahrgängen. Auch gibt es zusätzliche Trainingsmöglichkeiten im Fußball, Handball und Schwimmen. Die bilinguale Klasse lernt in der Klasse 5 und 6 verstärkt Englisch (zwei Wochenstunden mehr als üblich). Zwei Jahre später, also in der Klasse 7, beginnt der englischsprachige Unterricht in den Sachfächern. In der Sekundarstufe II können der Leistungskurs Sport und die bilingualen Sachfächer Geographie und Geschichte belegt werden.
In der Sekundarstufe II kooperiert man mit dem zweiten Lemgoer Gymnasium, dem Engelbert-Kaempfer-Gymnasium, um eine breite Fächerwahl sicherzustellen.
Außerdem hat das Marianne-Weber-Gymnasium zwei Partnerschulen, mit denen jährlich Schüleraustauschprogramme veranstaltet werden. Seit dem Schuljahr 2011/2012 gibt es eine Kooperationen mit der IES Cañada Real in Galapagar in der Nähe von Madrid. Seit demselben Schuljahr realisieren die Französischkurse einen Schüleraustausch mit dem Lycée Jaques CALLOT in Vandoeuvre.

Auszeichnungen
2012 erhielten drei Schülerinnen beim Regionalausscheid von "Jugend forscht" den ersten Platz in der Kategorie Biologie.

This project reflects the Sovereign's keen interest in the socio-economic and sustainable development of the economical hub of Morocco, aiming to strengthen its touristic attractiveness and improve the living conditions of its citizens.
The project is initiated by the Convention on the Coastal Development of the Region of Casablanca-Settat, signed on September 26th, 2014, under the presidency of the King. It also takes into account the development of the coastlines of Dar Bouazza, Aïn Diab, Aïn Sebaâ and Mohammedia, for an overall budget of 700 million Dirhams.
Mobilizing an investments of around 200 million Dirhams (excluding the construction of an underground car park with 1,000 spots), the development of the maritime promenade of Hassan II Mosque will start with the contruction of an urban park open to the public from Hassan II Mosque up to El Hank.
This 1.5 Km sequence will include a gazebo (with an agora, an event platform, cafés), a recreation area (with a playground, a fitness area, fountains), a cultural center for selling artisanal articrafts, as well as restaurants, cafes and underground parking.
This project will also involve the development of a stroll along the ocean until it reaches El Hank, shadowed by a vegetal wall adapted to the structure and requiring minimal maintenance, playgrounds for children, sports areas (jogging, walking, cycling), and public sanitary facilities.

Radio Drama - That Dinner of '67 by Tracy-Ann Oberman with David Spicer
In 1967 race riots swept across America. As the Supreme Court considered a landmark case on interracial marriage, Hollywood director Stanley Kramer (David Morrissey) started filming Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. William Rose's topical story was about a pair of young lovers - one black, one white - seeking the "blessing" of their parents before getting married.
Kramer assembled a stellar cast of Oscar winners, including Sidney Poitier (Adrian Lester), Spencer Tracy (Kenneth Branagh) and Kate Hepburn (Tracy-Ann Oberman), with Hepburn's niece Katharine Houghton (Daisy Ridley) making her film debut. It was to be Tracy and Hepburn's last film together; one of Hollywood's greatest double acts.
Spencer was dying but was determined that his final work with Kate (after a love affair that had lasted 26 years) would be a masterpiece. Initially, Colombia Pictures got cold feet; worried that the subject would backfire – the race riots had resulted in 85 people dead, over, 2000 injured: "anything could tip this over." Then the studio couldn't get anyone to insure Tracy – they didn't think he would make it through the film.
Hepburn, committed to Rose's themes, suggested placing her fee in escrow until the end of filming and Kramer joined her. Historically, interracial marriage had been illegal in the United States and remained illegal in many Southern states until June 12, 1967, six months before the film was released.
Oberman's script shows Tracy suffering throughout, barely able to speak his lines. Tracy died just 17 days after the film's "wrap". Two days later, anti-miscegenation laws were struck down by the Supreme Court in the Loving v. Virginia case.
Superbly realised by an award-winning British cast, Oberman's poignant drama offers some fascinating insights into the making of a classic movie and the enduring love of two Hollywood stars but, most importantly, she reminds us of the appalling racism of 1960s America and Kramer's courage in tacking topical issues that most studios avoided.

The Oxford Handbook of Internet Studies is now available in print and OUP has created a Website for the book: http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780199589074.do You can find Chapter 1, the introduction, on line and available free, if you'd like an overview of the Handbook. See: http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780199589074.do#.UQ6iIOg7i_E It was published in late January 2013.
It has been published initially in hardback, but OUP usually bring out paperback versions of their handbooks in due course after first publication in hardback, I am hoping that is the case with The Oxford Handbook of Internet Studies. Also the handbook will be uploaded to Oxford Handbooks Online (www.oxfordhandbooks.com), an online resource to which many institutions subscribe, and this should enable greater access to the material. So, I hope that for most people seriously interested in Internet Studies, that library acquisition and online access should enable access to the material, particularly if we can make the case for the paperback edition. I am very optimistic about the book's reception, and therefore its eventual availability in paperback.

Patrick Cantlay defeats Bryson DeChambeau on sixth playoff in thrilling BMW Champ.
OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Patrick Cantlay had enough on his hands to keep his attention Sunday as he was locked in an epic battle with Bryson DeChambeau, a compelling contrast of styles and personalities Sunday in the BMW Championship.
Even so, he couldn't ignore what fans shouted from behind the ropes Sunday at Caves Valley.
"Patty Ice."
With the putter in his hand and ice in his veins, Cantlay delivered one clutch putt after another to survive the final three holes of regulation and six tense holes of a sudden-death playoff, finally winning with a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole.
The most important putt? It was hard to tell.
He closed out his 6-under 66 with an 8-foot par putt on the 16th, an 8-foot bogey putt on the 17th after a tee shot into the water, and a 20-foot birdie on the 18th to force a playoff. Twice on the 18th in the playoff, where DeChambeau had a 30-yard advantage off the tee, Cantlay made par putts from 6 feet and 7 feet.
The most important putt was the last one.
Full-field scores from the BMW Championship
"But they all mattered, I guess, the same," Cantlay said. "I needed all of them."
DeChambeau, who also closed with a 66, can pick just as many that cost him. His week featured a missed 6-footer on the 18th for a chance at 59 on Friday. And in the final round, he missed a 12-foot birdie to win in regulation, three more birdie putts in the playoff, and then his final putt to send the great theater into another amazing scene.
DeChambeau, who has stopped talking to any media that isn't a PGA Tour partner, refused comment for everyone Sunday. He became the first player in PGA Tour history to post 261 without taking home a trophy.
Cantlay received two trophies – one from the the BMW Championship, the other from the century-old Western Golf Association – and plenty of other perks for his PGA Tour-leading third victory of the season and fifth overall.
He moved to No. 1 in the FedExCup, news he met by saying, "I know." That means Cantlay goes to the Tour Championship next week with a two-shot lead over Tony Finau in the FedEx Cup finale with $15 million to the winner.
And he clinched the sixth and final automatic spot for the U.S. Ryder Cup team. Steve Stricker has six captain's picks, and there was no way he was going to leave "Patty Ice" off the team regardless of the outcome.
Cantlay 'stays within himself' to win BMW playoff
"That's the first time I've heard it. But I got it all week," Cantlay said about his nickname. "There was maybe one or two guys that followed me around all four days, and they just every hole were screaming it. These were some of the most supportive, loudest fans I've ever experienced."
They were treated to an amazing show.
DeChambeau was smashing away, using his length to set up birdies. Cantlay never flinched, relying on a classic game with no apparent weakness. He laid up on par 5s he could reach if the risk wasn't worth it, relying on his wedge and – of course – his putter.
The PGA Tour said it was the best statistical performance putting in a tournament since the "Strokes Gained" category became available in 2004.
DeChambeau had his moments. Driving into the stream down the left side of the 18th fairway on the fourth extra hole, he took a penalty drop and hammered wedge to 4 feet to save par.
He looked like a winner – again – with a wedge to 6 feet on the par-3 17th on the fifth playoff hole, only for Cantlay to coolly hit 8-iron to 2 feet.
As if the final round wasn't entertaining enough, there were a few testy moments between the only two players who had a chance to win all day.
DeChambeau was rolling his eyes when Cantlay marked and studied 2-foot par putts on the front nine. Cantlay was walking up the 14th fairway as DeChambeau prepared to hit his approach when DeChambeau backed off and asked him to stop walking.
"We had just been told by the rules officials to kind of speed up, and I'm not always the fastest walker, so I was trying to get ahead and do my part," Cantlay said. "No big deal."
More problematic for DeChambeau was failing to make putts
DeChambeau looked to be a winner long before he prematurely tipped his cap to the gallery walking up to the 18th green in regulation.
He holed a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-5 16th hole, striking a pose of head bowed with arm extended in a clenched fist. That gave him a one-shot lead, and Cantlay still faced an 8-foot par putt. He made that, a sign of what was to come.
Cantlay's tee shot on the par-3 17th bounced short and to the right with just enough momentum to roll onto the rock framing the pond and drop into the water.
Tournament over? Not quite.
Cantlay hit a lob wedge from 100 yards in the drop area to 8 feet. DeChambeau hit a poor chip from the rough to 12 feet and two-putted for bogey, and Cantlay came up clutch again to make his putt and stay one shot behind.
"I got to thinking, 'Let's try and make 4 here and at least not take all the pressure off of him.' We both had 4s on that hole, and that really kept me in the golf tournament, kind of switched the momentum a little bit," Cantlay said. "It would have been almost insurmountable if I would have went down two going into 18."
There was drama all over Caves Valley, even without a trophy at stake.
Erik van Rooyen and Sergio Garcia played their way into the top 30 who qualify for the Tour Championship. Patrick Reed managed to hang on to the 30th spot, but only after K.H. Lee made bogey on his final hole.
If healthy – Reed has been out with bilateral pneumonia – it at least gives him a chance for one last audition to be a captain's pick for the Ryder Cup.

Amy Jean Klobuchar (ur. 25 maja 1960 w Plymouth) – amerykańska polityczka i prawniczka, senatorka ze stanu Minnesota od 2007, prokuratorka okręgowa Hrabstwa Hennepin, związana z Partią Demokratyczną.

Młodość i wykształcenie
Amy Jean Klobuchar urodziła się 25 maja 1960 w Plymouth w stanie Minnesota. Jej ojciec Jim Klobuchar był felietonistą w gazecie Star Tribune, a matka Rose Klobuchar z d. Heuberger była nauczycielką. Amy Klobuchar publicznie opowiadała o alkoholizmie swojego ojca i o wpływie jego zaburzenia na rodzinę.

Ukończyła szkoły publiczne w Plymouth i miała jedne z najlepszych wyników w liceum. W czasie studiów w 1980 pracowała na stażu dla wiceprezydenta Stanów Zjednoczonych Waltera Mondale.

W 1982 ukończyła studia na Uniwersytecie Yale z magna cum laude i stopniem Bachelor's degree z politologii. W 1984 ukończyła prawo na Uniwersytecie Chicagowskim z magna cum laude i stopniem Juris Doctor.

Kariera prawnicza
Od 1985 do 1999 pracowała w czołowej firmie prawniczej Minensoty Dorsey & Whitney w Minneapolis, najpierw jako prawniczka, a potem jako partnerka. Od 1993 do 1998 pracowała jako partnerka w firmie prawniczej Gray, Plant, Mooty, Mooty & Bennett.

Jej córka Abigail Klobuchar urodziła się w 1995, z zaburzeniem, które uniemożliwiało jej przełykanie. Z powodu obowiązujących wówczas przepisów o ubezpieczeniu zdrowotnym, Amy Klobuchar musiała opuścić szpital po 24-godzinnym pobycie, pozostawiając w nim swoje dziecko. Wtedy zdecydowała się wystąpić w parlamencie stanu Minnesota i nakłonić parlamentarzystów do wprowadzenia przepisu, zapewniającego nowym matkom 48-godzinny pobyt w szpitalu objęty ubezpieczeniem. W 1996 prezydent Bill Clinton wprowadził podobne prawo federalne, zobowiązując firmy ubezpieczeniowe do hospitalizacji nowych matek przez co najmniej 48 godzin.

W 1998 wygrała wybory na prokuratora generalnego okręgu hrabstwa Hennepin. W 2002 uzyskała reelekcję. Pełniła tę funkcję do 2006.

Senator
7 listopada 2006 wygrała wybory do Senatu w stanie Minnesota. Zdobyła 58% wszystkich głosów i została pierwszą kobietą wybraną do Senatu w tym stanie. Pełniła funkcję senatora od stycznia 2007. W 2012 i 2018 uzyskała reelekcję.

Należała do senackiej Komisji Sądownictwa, Komisji ds. Handlu, Nauki i Transportu, Komisji ds. Rolnictwa, Żywienia i Leśnictwa, Komisji Wspólnej Ekonomii i Komisji ds. Zasad i Administracji. W styczniu 2015 weszła w skład zarządu senackiej reprezentacji została przewodniczącą Steering and Outreach Committee, komitetu sterującego Partii Demokratycznej w Senacie.

W 2016 Medill News Service ogłosiło, że w ówczesnej kadencji Senatu Klobuchar napisała najwięcej ustaw, które stały się obowiązującym prawem.

Wybory prezydenckie w 2020
10 lutego 2019 rozpoczęła kampanię w prawyborach Partii Demokratycznej przed wyborami prezydenckimi w 2020 roku. Ogłosiła to na specjalnym wydarzeniu na wybrzeżu rzeki Missisipi w Minneapolis, w czasie śnieżycy.

W trakcie kampanii była oskarżana przez swoich byłych pracowników o złe traktowanie. Zgodnie z oskarżeniami, miała na nich krzyczeć, rzucać w nich przedmiotami ze złości, doprowadzać do płaczu, a także poniżać w mailach, które otrzymywali wszyscy pracownicy. Sama Klobuchar oświadczyła, że bywa surowym szefem, ale nigdy nie poniżała swoich pracowników.

Zrezygnowała z dalszej kampanii 2 marca 2020. Na tym etapie odbyły się już prawybory w pierwszych czterech stanach, pozyskała 7 delegatów i zdobyła 9,45% głosów powszechnych, co uplasowało ją na piątym miejscu, za Joem Bidenem, Berniem Sandersem, Pete'em Buttigiegem (który również już się wycofał) i Elizabeth Warren.

The popularity of bamboo lumber has increased because the availability of resources has decreased considerably. On the other hand, demand for resources is on an increasing trend. Hence, the need for searching alternatives is of utmost importance. For instance, wood has gained immense popularity for its characteristics of being hard and durable in nature.
However, too much use of timber is depleting the forests that are also a grave concern for the future of planet earth. On the other hand, bamboo has evolved as the best alternative for hardwood. It has same characteristics that of wood and can easily act as a substitute for the use of timber. Moreover, bamboo is also employed in the construction of houses in areas where it is abundantly found. However, using bamboo in cylindrical form poses a serious challenge as it involves gluing bamboo in circular form.
A laminated type of bamboo lumber: The laminated form of bamboo lumber is famous for making wall laminates in many countries where bamboo is abundantly found. However, the usage of bamboo is restricted to certain situations as bamboo quickly splits into two parts. The laminated bamboo is a relatively new concept, and many people around the world are still ignorant about this green idea of decorating their homes. Furthermore, bamboo is also used in the manufacturing process of much decorative furniture. Laminated bamboo lumber is also used as support beams in many households in many parts of the world. The reason for using the laminated form of bamboo is the fact that it is cheap and is easily available.
Moreover, laminated bamboo lumbers are pleasant to look at and can be used as impressive home décor in many households. Also, they are durable in nature. This basically implies that they are maintenance-free and do not require much painting and oiling on them. The furniture made from a laminated form of bamboo lumber is quite durable in nature, and they can be transformed into many kinds of furniture. Also, bamboo, when laminated, can also be topped on wall shelves to make them look beautiful and attractive to the eyes.
Color range: These types of bamboo can be given a wide variety of colors depending on their availability and demand in the market. As compared to woods these types of bamboo can be provided a wide range of artificial colors to make them look better and shinier. On the other hand, bamboo furniture is water resistant. Moreover, the user does not have to apply synthetic paints and colors to enhance its look. For instance, they can be given a wide variety of colors ranging from bright to slightly pale colors. This means that they look attractive and flashy that makes these types of bamboo categories a must buy to suit any home type of décor. The first thing that a buyer notices while buying furniture or a wooden artifact is its texture and color. Hence, if the color of the product made from bamboo is attractive, people would quickly buy it and would use it to style up their home.
On the other hand, the color of these types of bamboo lumber is not the only thing a customer sees while buying these types of furniture. The customer would also test its durability. As bamboo wood is quite durable, it would pass the client's search queries.
Considerations related to environmental impact: The concept of sustainable development is not only a growing trend; it has become necessary to follow this development concept because it is healthy for planet earth. According to many reports by environment agencies, unsustainable development of bamboo lumber is the sole concern for many countries. Governments around the world are trying to impose stringent penalty measures to curb down the illegal farming of bamboo. As the popularity of bamboo has increased considerably in the past five years, many people are pursuing this profession of bamboo cultivation.
On the other hand, the major concern about using bamboo as a substitute for wood is the fact that transportation of long bamboo poles is a major concern among many transport companies. The long bamboo poles are delicate and have to be carried safely to prevent them from breaking down.

Lorinser has made the new S-Class more attractive
German tuning studio Lorinser has specialized in Mercedes-Benz models since 1935, when it became an official Daimler reseller.
Now that the seventh-generation W223 S-class has been released, the various tuning companies of Aktvino have joined the work, and very soon, motorists will see a variety of body kit options and new wheels.
Lorinser has installed its classic LM2R wheels on the latest flagship of the Mercedes brand. The wheels have a diameter of 21 inches, which is very different from the 16-inch wheels of the W116 Benz in the 1970s. 16-inch wheels were considered big at the time.
The LM2R wheels, available in Chrome, Hyper Silver and Black, are designed in the style of the 90s with additional shapes that distinguish them from the wheels of Mercedes-Maybach.
Other details include a recessed rim flange and recessed split spokes that only appear to be split. It can be argued that the model has received a more modern look than the one that the Maybach has.
"Overall, the designers have created a very dynamic, powerful and lively one-piece wheel. A large radius gives the sedan a luxurious and confident look, " the representatives of the studio noted.
Lorinser is also working on power upgrades and various aerodynamic components for the all-new W223 Mercedes S-Class.

A new technology is taking a substantial step towards enabling manufacturers to create plastics out of two key ingredients: sunshine and pollution.
A team led by Program Director Ted Sargent at the University of Toronto is turning this process on its head. They envision capturing CO2 produced by other industrial process and using renewable electricity — such as solar power — to transform it into ethylene. Ethylene is a common industrial chemical that is a precursor to many plastics, such as those used in grocery bags.
The findings, published in Science, follow ongoing discussions within CIFAR's Bio-Inspired Solar Energy program. Sargent says the interaction between diverse scientists, especially researchers who study natural and artificial photosynthesis was key to this advance.
"When we performed the CO2 conversion to ethylene in very basic media, we found that our catalyst improved both the energy efficiency and selectivity of the conversion to the highest levels ever recorded," said Cao-Thang Dinh (University of Toronto), the first author on the paper. In this context, efficiency means that less electricity is required to accomplish the conversion. The authors then used this knowledge to further improve the catalyst and push the reaction to favour the formation of ethylene, as opposed to other substances.
"Upgrading CO2 to value is the next frontier in renewable energy storage and renewable chemicals," said CIFAR Advisor Shaffiq Jaffer.
Jaffer is the Vice President of Corporate Science and Technology Projects for TOTAL, a French major energy operator sponsoring this research.
This is another example of the research strengths the university shares with partners across Canada. "Congratulations to Ted Sargent and his colleagues in CIFAR's Bio-Inspired Solar Energy program. This paper in Science is a great demonstration of the power of collaboration between scientists across disciplines to tackle questions of importance to the world," said Alan Bernstein, President and CEO, CIFAR.
The multidisciplinary group combines strengths in materials science, chemical engineering, chemistry and mechanical engineering, is providing new perspectives on the field. Several members are also involved in CERT, the University of Toronto team that just advanced to the final round of the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE. The Carbon XPRIZE competition challenges groups from industry and academia to capture carbon emissions from power plants and efficiently convert them into valuable chemical products.


Who are they ?' What have they done ?
Liverpool Welsh have been an integral part of the Liverpool scene since the heyday of the slave trade and the building of the docks in the last decade of the eighteenth century. Shipping became an occupation that attracted men from Anglesey and Caernarvonshire and when the clever welsh poet and Anglican divine Goronwy Owen settled at St Mary's Church, Walton in 1755 he loved coming to the waterfront to converse in welsh with the sailors from his native hearth of Anglesey. These men and women of Wales came in their thousands between 1760 and 1860 and in that period at least 16 Welsh speaking chapels and churches were built. By 1900 Liverpool had around 90 Welsh Chapels, Churches and mission halls to cater for the spiritual and cultural needs. By 1815, within Liverpool there was a Welsh town. The Little Wales plaque to remember their coming is on the right of Pall Mall north of Leeds Street junction and I usually take Welsh visitors to see it since it was placed there in the summer of 2007.
Though young and usually poor the immigrants were men and women who were determined to make a better world for themselves, though the presence of the 'press gangs' in the town was to say the least an hindrance. Many of them were staunch young Calvinistic Methodists escaping from the persecution of the Anglican establishment, the local vicar and the squire in particular. They found comfort in an alien land as exiles.
Most of the exiles were involved in shipping and the building industries. Some of them became architects and hundreds of them established building firms . They were very involved in the growth of Liverpool from a small fishing village into a huge port and a cosmopolitan city by 1880. The Welsh, through these builders, such as Owen Elias and David Hughes, played their part in the extension of the city to Kirkdale, Anfield, Walton, Everton, St Domingo, Islington and Kensington. Townships such as Everton and Anfield became welsh in speech as Sir James Picton informs us, Welsh in culture and prominent in the commercial and shopping world. The streets were often given Welsh names by the builders and not only in Toxteth, but all over the city. Young men who arrived in Liverpool were given support by the Elders of the welsh chapels many of them large builders. Within two decades many of these immigrants would have succeeded beyond all expectations. Their heritage is still around us, and a Welsh trail is very much needed to indicate where the welsh stores and companies were located.
Music is another sphere of culture where the Welsh have been influential. The Liverpool Welsh Choral Union has been honoured for its long and distinguished contribution by being given the Freedom of the City in 2013. Welsh publishing has been well documented and Modern Welsh Publications is still in existence and has its own website. The eisteddfodic tradition has a long and distinguished history from 1840 till 1990, and Welsh poets of distinction have laboured in Liverpool. Welsh hymns and Welsh tunes have been written and composed in the city and are still sung Sunday after Sunday.
A great deal has been written on the Liverpool Welsh in the last 30 years and the Merseyside Welsh Heritage society is an important link in preserving for posterity the rich and unique cultural life. The monthly newspaper called Angor is worth ordering for £10-50 a year, for it underlines the events that have happened and will happen among the Welsh communities.
Prepared for the Liverpool Welsh website on 14-2-2014 by Professor Dr D.Ben Rees.

The case for neutrality: Neutral states can play a key role in negotiations and ending conflicts
Dec 22, 2022 conflicts, NATO, negotiations, neutrality, SALT
In a recently published letter, European Union High Representative for Foreign Policy Josep Borrell said that Turkey's "continued policy of not joining the EU's restrictive measures against Russia is increasingly a cause for concern." In his view, the EU must urge Turkey to change its trade policy with Russia.
Neutrality has been around as long as conflict between states. Sometimes this position is described as impartiality, nonalignment or maintaining a balance.
We have to remember that each country's foreign and security policy should be a tool for guaranteeing the long-term freedom and prosperity of its population. Following this principle includes supporting other states and regions, as no country stands alone. But it does not require taking sides in conflicts. There might be sympathy for a specific side, but that does not always justify joining the fight.
Encyclopedia Britannica defines neutrality as "the legal status arising from the abstention of a state from all participation in a war between other states, the maintenance of an attitude of impartiality toward the belligerents, and the recognition by the belligerents of this abstention and impartiality. Under international law, this legal status gives rise to certain rights and duties between the neutral state and the belligerents."
There might be sympathy for a specific side, but that does not always justify joining the fight.
This is the classic Swiss position, which has allowed it to frequently mediate between parties and has provided the environment for organizations like the International Red Cross to flourish. The IRC has been crucial in ensuring humanitarian aid in conflict areas, assuring proper treatment of prisoners of war and acting as a discreet facilitator for negotiations. The Vatican, another neutral state in conflicts, has also played an important role in helping to facilitate peace efforts.
There have been other forms of neutrality. During the Cold War, a group of nations declared themselves Non-Aligned. They were led by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's India, Marshal Josip Tito's Yugoslavia and President Gamal Abdel Nasser's Egypt. At that time, what is known today as the "global south" played a lesser role in geopolitics. However, mediation by independent players was also less important, as Washington and Moscow had a hotline and continuously held formal and informal talks.
For larger negotiations, such as the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT), a neutral location was necessary. They took place in Geneva. Ever since the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, the Swiss Embassy in Tehran has acted as a "protecting power" for the interests of Americans in the country.
New neutrality
In its original sense, the goal of neutrality was to keep countries out of armed conflicts. It did not account for other forms of warfare, including hybrid wars. Nor could it account for the weaponizing of finance, trade and the economy – which now happens mainly through sanctions, but also espionage.
Neutrality policy also found it difficult to handle the extreme levels of villainy and emotional scarring caused by the wars of the 20th and 21st centuries. These factors led to an intolerance for impartiality and an aversion to neutrality as classically understood. The attitude became: "You are either with us or against us."
It is understandable that conflicting parties try to accumulate the greatest possible number of allies and inflict the most possible damage on the adversary. But to eventually find a resolution, a party that is above the fray is often necessary. Swinging the moral club against them is wrong.
Realism does not necessarily mean egoism.
There are two reasons for this. First, help is needed in negotiations and in organizing operations such as prisoner exchanges. Turkey received deserved praise for helping find a solution that allowed Ukraine to export grain. It gained the trust of both sides as a neutral arbiter even though it is a member of NATO. The deal was imperative not only for Ukraine, but also for hungry populations around the world.
The second reason is that taking sides simply may not be in the long-term interest of a particular country and its population. The country can then be sympathetic to a cause and offer humanitarian aid, but should not be obliged to take military, political or economic action. This is the case for many countries in the global south. Realism does not necessarily mean egoism.
During World War II, Swiss and Swedish neutrality was helpful in many humanitarian and political aspects. Nevertheless, both received some blame afterward for not having done enough. Later, in the Cold War, the nonaligned countries simply did not want to be included in one bloc or the other, which made sense considering their predicaments.
In the case of Ukraine, it is justified that most of the sympathy is with the smaller country bravely defending its independence against an aggressor. And most states in the global south feel this sympathy even if the governments have decided to remain formally impartial in the conflict. That understanding and solidarity does not impose a duty to intervene upon them, despite the frequent requests from Washington, Brussels and Kyiv.
Most countries endorse Ukraine's independence and offer what help they can. Many do so while also retaining a policy of balance. Turkey has always been clear that it supports Ukraine's territorial integrity, and has provided backing in other ways. But Ankara plays a critical role in maintaining lines of communication. It was a great success that it was able to facilitate the grain corridor and keep it open. In this case, Mr. Borrell's remarks reveal a lack of judgment when it comes to the value of neutrality in general and a misunderstanding of the geopolitical context in particular.

Jedi Wine Making – Chemistry can be fun?
Apparently … Lab tests on wine are fun. The test subject (wine aging in our barrels in the barn) matters. I have been a chemistry hater from way back, even changed my college major to avoid chem classes.
But … When you know the tests you are about to learn can keep your wine on track, you will do just about anything to chase the dream of making that elusive, perfect, full-bodied, balanced glass of vino, especially if you've slaved all season tending the vines.
So … Ted of Medeiros Family Winery, my Yoda mentor, hosted this morning's foray into his lab to determine how much free SO2 was suspended in each barrel's wine. SO2 is the substance that can protect the wine from oxidation, basically keeping the "bitter" under control.
During … There were test tubes hanging from a science-looking contraption, pipettes, rubber tubing, things bubbling, substances dripping one drop at a time into a wine-colored solution that suddenly turned green. Very cool!
All in all … Not a bad way to spend the morning.

Last weekend was rough for me, and I had a final exam on Monday evening. When it was over, my friend and I needed to celebrate, so we went to Hill Country in downtown DC. And I can't believe how much food there was.
Mac n' cheese + chili = chili mac. It's as good as it sounds.
This picture doesn't convey how much food we had. It had two enormous ribs, 1/4 chicken, and a hearty helping of brisket. I'm getting full just thinking about it.
The rib is wider that my face (not only cause of the perspective).

Today I am going to share with you my opinion about Burberry Sheer Foundation Luminous Fluid Foundation. I will share the pic of my face with no retouch. I hope my mini-review will be useful for you.
Burberry Sheer Foundation is luminous fluid cream that gives the skin a natural fresh radiance. The lightweight formula allows optimum light diffusion for a naturally luminous complexion. Fluid foundation hydrates the skin whilst providing long lasting coverage. By the way, I checked it by myself. There is the hellish heat in Portugal, and I had went to a neighboring town, languishing in the car, as in a tin. It was very hot and I opened windows in the car. I was sure that foundation will flow down on my chest because of the high temperature of the air, and the wind from the window will turn my skin in the rough crust. But no such "luck"! Tone cream perfectly coped with the heat and with searing headwind. My skin kept more or less fresh look, and after removing makeup I had no dry skin, so moisturizing formula of the foundation securely protected my skin from dryness. I would really recommend it for the summer.
As you can see, Burberry Sheer Foundation provides enough smooth coverage, visually "aligning" the surface of the skin with light-reflecting particles. My face is often covered with red spots, and foundation copes with them as well as with endless freckles on my nose =) Left part of the face is with foundation, right - no foundation.
The only thing I did not like at first a little, so it's a "glow effect", but it is a matter of habit. The fact is that foundation leaves a little greasy luster on my face. I was so used to apply foundations with a matte effect that it was hard to get used to shine after using Burberry Sheer Foundation =) However, the use of a small amount of powder reduces the illusion of the greasy skin. So, as for me, this product does not require the use of additional illuminating products, especially if you have the oily skin.

Why are the nation's senators unable to reject Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh for the obvious reason – that he is, to put it politely, a very enthusiastic protector of corporate interests?
Corporations, with lobbyists and campaign contributions, already have lots of people looking out for them.
It is ordinary folks, many struggling, who lack an advocate.
The struggling folks who, in desperation, voted for Donald Trump, might ponder the contradiction between their hopes and the nomination of someone focused on protecting those behind much of their distress.

Black Tea vs Coffee: Which Has More Caffeine?
A majority of Americans start their days with a cup of coffee, while across the pond, the Brits can't live without black tea. Both of these drinks are made with hot water and plant pieces — coffee beans and tea leaves — but the flavor and caffeine content is very different! So does coffee or black tea have more caffeine, and which drink is healthier?
We're taking a close look at black tea and coffee. These drinks have more in common than you might think!
Coffee has about twice as much caffeine as black tea, and both drinks have been shown to help you stay healthy and fight disease.
What is Caffeine?
Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that occurs naturally in plants like cacao, coffee, and tea. It can make you feel more alert and focused, helping you wake up or stay awake longer.
Caffeine takes one to two hours to reach its full effect on your body. It also has a half-life of about five hours, which means that after five hours, your body has metabolized half of the caffeine. That's why you generally want to avoid drinking caffeinated beverages too late in the day. If you drink a strong cup of coffee or black tea too late in the day, you may have a hard time sleeping.
SEE ALSO: How to Fall Asleep After Drinking Coffee (Tips & Tricks)
Caffeine in Coffee
The average cup of black coffee has about 95 milligrams of caffeine, and a shot of espresso has about 64 milligrams. The FDA recommends drinking 400 milligrams or less per day, so you can safely drink up to four cups of coffee or six shots of espresso in one day.

What about decaf coffee?
Though decaf coffee gets a bad rap, there are quite a few delicious brands on the market these days. Coffee can be decaffeinated through various methods, including the Swiss Water Process and chemical solvents. Without processing, coffee beans all have caffeine in them. There is no naturally-occurring decaf coffee, but you may enjoy the health benefits anyway!

Caffeine in Black Tea
How much caffeine is there in black tea? A typical cup of black tea has about 47 milligrams of caffeine, or about half as much as coffee. That means you can drink a lot more tea before you encounter any negative caffeine symptoms!
Black tea is made from the leaves of a plant called Camellia sinensis. In fact, all four major types of tea are made from the same plant! The difference between white, green, oolong, and black tea comes down to processing. To make black tea, you allow the plant leaves to oxidize, which turns them from green to black.
There are many types of tea leaves, but most come from the Camellia sinensis plant. | Image credit: Unsplash
Are there non-caffeinated teas?
Many types of tea don't contain caffeine. For example, herbal tea, which is made with different herbs and leaves, is typically caffeine-free. If you're looking to avoid caffeine entirely, check the label on your favorite tea — and steer clear of black tea. That includes chai!
Black Tea vs Coffee: The Bottom Line
So which drink should you choose? As coffee lovers, we always recommend a delicious cup of joe. But if you're looking for a lighter caffeine boost, a cup of black tea may be just the thing. And don't forget that both drinks have decaffeinated options!

Employment tribunal fees: All you need is Gove →
Modest Vince and his modest reforms
Call me weird, but if I was Vince Cable, I wouldn't go around bragging about how I "blocked" attempts by George Osborne to "set a high minimum wage" – as Sir Vince does in his near unreadable tome about how brilliant and sensible he was in the Coalition, After the storm. (Apparently, all the bad Coalition stuff was the work of someone else – Dave, Nick, George, or Danny). No, I think I'd keep that to myself, just in case I run into one of the all too many strivers who have to live on – or even below – that minimum wage.
That particular boast was on page 12 of After the storm. So I had to read another 195 coma-inducing pages before I got to Sir Vince's mind-boggling assertion that his time as Mr Sensible of the Coalition included "a modest shift in [the] terms governing unfair dismissal, in order to reduce the numbers of cases going to tribunals".
As Sir Vince helpfully spells out, this modest reform means that "it now requires two years of employment, rather than one, before an [unfair dismissal] case can be brought". I'm a bit rubbish with statistics, but I think that's a 100% increase in the length of the qualifying period. So I suppose we must be grateful that Sir Vince and the useless Dave, Nick, George and Danny didn't go for less modest reform of unfair dismissal law.
However – as you may have guessed, if you're my Mum or Gem Reucroft – it was Sir Sensible's claim about needing to reduce the number of unfair dismissal cases going to tribunals that really got my goat. Because – and I have a chart to show this, which proves my moral superiority over Sir Vince, who includes no such chart in After the storm – the number of tribunal claims for unfair dismissal fell from 57,400 in 2009-10, the last year of the Labour government led by the equally useless Gordon Brown, to 47,900 in 2010-11, and to 46,300 in 2011-12. That's one unfair dismissal claim every 26 years, on average, for each of Britain's 1.2 million employers.
Call me weird (again), but that doesn't look like a crisis requiring a 100% – sorry, a modest – increase in the qualifying period for legal protection from unfair dismissal. Admittedly, the number of such claims did shoot up by a whopping 6.3% to 49,200 in 2012-13, but by then Mr Sensible and the Silly Billies had already decided that modest, 100% reform of unfair dismissal law was necessary to prevent the economy going into meltdown. Or something.
Indeed, that 6.3% increase followed their modest reform in April 2012. Oops. It was all going so well until then. Here's that chart of which Sir Vince can be so proud.
In the 12 months following Sir Vince's modest reform in April 2012 (the orange column), we can see that modest, 6.3% increase in unfair dismissal claims. And then, in July 2013, Chris Grayling introduced his own modest reform (the blue column) and over the next 12 months unfair dismissal claims fell by an extremely modest 66%, never to recover.
As Sir Vince puts it in his soporific After the storm, "measures introduced elsewhere in government radically to increase tribunal fees" – that is, measures that were nothing to do with Sir Sensible, who was simply in charge of employment law policy at the time – "have almost certainly tipped the balance too far against workers".
You think?

3 Responses to Modest Vince and his modest reforms
Bill Wells says:
The policy change on unfair dismissal was 'modest' as few people will have been affected by it. Few people leave work in the 2nd year of employment. Once you reach a year you are likely to be there for the duration. And the vast majority of the people who do leave do so voluntarily. I'd bet that virtually no employer has taken advantage of their increased freedom.
That does leave the question of whether it was worth doing. But that is true of many policies. It is sensible so lets take it a bit further – extension not reform. On the other side the jacking up of fines for employers who break employment law/NMW is an example of this. [And in this case the worker does not benefit.]
Where there has been reform rather than extension – ET fees the prime example – the policy is poor because the reform might be right (a nominal fee) but the extension of the principle beyond a reasonable point – the fee is too high – makes the balance against the worker unreasonable.
[As you know, I think that the lack of customer service for both claimants and employers in dealing with ET claims is similarly unreasonable. Cases which take years and where the public work for the legal system rather than vice versa seem to me to be an equally unreasonable restriction on worker's entitlement to justice.]
HRBullets (@HRBullets) says:
Ah but at least, judging by that last paragraph, Vince doesn't commit the cardinal sin of splitting an infinitive.

Yes, we can thank him for that. He will probably write a book about it.
