A Brutal Buy: Billionaire Marc Rowan Pays $26 M. for Brutalist Masterpiece at 927 Fifth
The holidays aren't only a good time for giving to others; they're also a popular time for people of means

The holidays aren't only a good time for giving to others; they're also a popular time for people of means to buy themselves lavish gifts. This year Apollo Global Management managing director Marc Rowan went all out: the billionaire and bride Carolyn splurged on a $26 million co-op at 927 Fifth Avenue, according to city records.
The Rowans, who own a floor-through on the sixth floor, have purchased the floor-through on the fifth floor. The couple could be looking for a slightly inferior view, of course, but we'd say this a fairly unambiguous move to create a duplex floor-through.
What's more, in May, the Rowans bought a $7.7 million commercial unit on the ground floor. Now that the red-tailed hawks have moved on it appears that the Rowans want to rule the roost at the tony limestone behemoth.
A striking design, but it's not for everyone. (Kelviin, flickr)
It's not the cushiest perch. The apartment, which was sold by Claire Edersheim, the widow of financier Maurits Edersheim via the Edersheim 2000 Marital Trust, was designed by the late Paul Rudolph. The Brutalist architect and former dean of the Yale School of Architecture, and his love of concrete and other uncomfortable surfaces, did not win many fans in the residential market.( Indeed, his status as a designer of upscale interiors could not be more different from that the current dean—Robert A.M. Stern.) Although the famed architect did appear to have softened his design somewhat for the Edersheims' pre-War spread, judging by photos of the Edersheim apartment and their Long Island home, also renovated by Rudolph.
Given the multitude of chintz-covered living rooms and mahogany paneled libraries we've looked at, the bracing design is rather refreshing, if a little dated (the Edersheims were long-term residents of the building). Unfortunately, we doubt if Rudolph's vision be blended with whatever sixth-floor design motif the Rowans have selected. Not to mention the fact that a major redesign is basically a given when creating a duplex from two simplexes. Mr. Rowan has not yet returned a request for comment on his plans for the space.
The unit was not listed publicly, so we can't say who'll be taking home the sizable commission on this sale. Fortunately for Ms. Edersheim, the deal closed in December, which will mean a lower tax rate on the rather considerable capital gains she'll be paying. It's a happy New Year for everyone involved.

After a cool, damp week the sun is out! June is in full bloom, our perennial gardens bursting with color. In the the kitchen garden rows of tender plants have appeared in the raised beds, and we are eating mesclun. Lovely!
Here in Vermont the trees are a dense, lush green. Plants need to take full advantage of our four to five months of warm weather, and go about the tasks of reproducing and storing energy with vigor. In just a few weeks, by late July, the foliage will begin to thin, already preparing for the autumn to come.
We have stopped filling the feeders as the birds have other food sources available to them. Now that the feeders are empty we will likely take them down and store them until October. Come the first chilly days of autumn the birds will remind us to bring out the food; we have a good working relationship!
I recently read a post on Australis Incognita, an interview with an Australian Aboriginal elder, Uncle Paul Chapman. The essence of the conversation is that we learn who we are in the world by paying attention to the landscape and Nature. There is an ancient Indigenous knowing that we can't figure it out by turning totally inward, as that is out of balance. We learn from bridging the worlds of inner an outer, self and landscape.
Reading Uncle Paul's words reminded me we are of the landscapes we inhabit; we even have our own internal seasons. I often suggest to students that after we watch for a while we may begin to notice that sometimes the inside and outside worlds are in sync, other times not. Lately I have found myself diving deeply into the interior, even as I engage the Natural world as it bursts into furious activity.
Lately, I seem able to stand with a foot in each world, shifting between them as need be, and am rewarded by moments of grace. Grace reminds me to be grateful for my life, family and friends, and the Beauty surrounding me, even as I feel disappointed and angry with much that is unfurling in the world. Grace encourages me to be concerned for my grandchildren, and curious as to how we humans will manage the road ahead.
In dark, difficult, times it is easy to forget that summer invariably follows winter, and life sprouts anew when given any opportunity. This will be so as long as there is life on our precious blue-green planet. May we take refuge and comfort in that.
It's easy to understand why so many writer's and artists call VE home. Happy solstice. Perfect meditation.
… and here we are: the first day of summer. A lovely meditation, Michael. Thank you … we have been mulling over the same things, you in the beautiful absorbing essay and me in poetry. Nature is indeed teacher and inspiration. Have a wonderful summer, Michael, and thanks for all you so graciously share with us.

Could Harry Kane become the all-time Premier League top scorer?
Posted on May 13, 2016 by Lewis Addley in Featured, Premier League, Premier League Features, Top Stories, Tottenham Hotspur FC // 0 Comments
Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has had a fantastic Premier League season and is on track to win the Golden Boot with one game to play. The Englishman has netted 25 goals and Lewis Addley explores whether or not he could become the all-time leading goalscorer in Premier League history…
Harry Kane's Premier League goalscoring record currently stands at 49 goals in 85 games, giving him an average of 0.57 goals per game.
Alan Shearer remains the all-time leading goalscorer in Premier League history, scoring 260 over the course of a stellar career with Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United from the 1992/93 season until he retired aged 35 at the end of the 2005/06 season.
Kane is only young but has already been compared to Shearer on several occasions for his direct and attacking play style, so lets have a look at how the two compare by their Premier League statistics respectively.
Alan Shearer's Premier League goalscoring record compared to Harry Kane
As we can see in the table above, the standout comparison to be made is in the form of 'goals per game'. The two strikers can barely be separated in this respect, with Shearer just edging it by averaging 0.01 more goals per appearance.
So how can we hypothetically test the theory of Kane potentially equalling Shearer's record at this early stage?
First of all we can minus Kane's current statistics from his career so far from Shearer's overall statistics. Using that method allows us to have an idea of what Kane would need to do to equal Shearer over the next decade or so.
Games and goals remaining for Kane to equal Shearer's record
As we can see, Kane will hypothetically have 356 Premier League games to score 211 goals if he was to equal Shearer's tally of 260 league goals. This would require him to increase his goals-per-game output by 0.02.
Harry Kane will be 23 come the start of the next Premier League season. Shearer retired aged 35. This gives another hypothesis to explore. The remaining time Kane has to reach Shearer's retirement age is 12 years, potentially giving him 12 Premier League seasons to shine in.
A total of 12 more Premier League seasons would allow for a maximum of 456 games. This would allow Kane to miss 100 games across 12 seasons to factor in the likelihood of time spent on the sideline through injury, suspension, illness or any other reason.
We must mention that we are only working with hypothetical statistics here, as Kane could move from the Premier League, play less games because of injuries, or more games by enjoying a longer career than Shearer.
While we aren't suggesting that Kane is or isn't going to beat Shearer's record, the stats we have looked into offer an interesting talking point.
Providing Kane remains fit and able to continue with his current scoring ratio, he does hypothetically stand a very good chance of reaching or even surpassing 260 goals in the Premier League.
Do you think Kane has the potential to become the all-time leading goalscorer in the Premier League? Will Alan Shearer's record ever be broken?

The nature, majesty, and power of our God are beyond the human realm. It is something that is difficult to grasp through our limited mind. However, if you want to get a glimpse of how awesome our God is, then you better read this post.
In this secular and most often, GODLESS WORLD, it is so easy to lose sight of God's divine and indescribable majesty. There's no doubt: many people, including Christians, don't recognize anymore how awesome our God is. Many reduced our heavenly Father into mere created objects while others think of God as a hard-to-understand idea in their heads.
How about you? Do you know how awesome our God is? Do you have the respect, reverence, and godly fear to our heavenly Father?
In this post, let us look at how awesome our God, the Yahweh, the supreme and most powerful Being in the entire universe really is.
We have in the Bible a record of people who have seen God's glory in visions or in a personal encounter. These people, including prophets and Apostles, responded with incredible humility. So, let us take a look at how they reacted.
Job has a blind spot.
He thought that he doesn't deserve the trials that he is going through. Because of his self-righteousness, he thought that God was being unfair when He let all the calamities fall upon him.
However, the great I AM, the Eternal, the Yahweh, showed Him a glimpse of His power and might. Job was left with nothing but awe and utter humility.
God first talked to Moses through the burning bush. Moses, realizing that he was dealing with a supernatural Being, "hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God (Exodus 3:6).
Later, Moses asked God to see His glory. God responded, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live" (Exodus 33:20).
God's full glory and majesty are so powerful and divine that no flesh and blood can see it without perishing.
As God was starting to reveal Himself to the nation of Israel, he asked Moses to bring these people out of the camp to meet Him (Genesis 19:16).
God warned Moses to tell the people never "break through to gaze at [Him]," lest many of them will perish.
All these are written in Exodus 19. As you can see, God's awesome power is enough to make people afraid, produce strong fire, and shake big mountains.
God can make any place holy and Joshua recognized it. He immediately took off his sandal, fell on his face, and worshiped God.
Now, let's take a look at what Isaiah saw in His vision (Isaiah 6).
King Uzziah just died and Isaiah saw a vision. He saw the "Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up." His majestic robe freely flows and filled the temple.
On top of God's throne, extraordinary creatures can be seen. The Bible calls them a Seraphim. They have six wings, with each pair covering the face and feet, while the last pair is used for flying.
The voice was so powerful that the house was filled with smoke and the doorposts were shaken.
What a magnificent display of God's majesty that Isaiah was afraid for his life.
Here's a video you might want to watch. The title is God of Wonders. It is one of the videos I listed in my Top 10 Christian Movies You Should Watch.
God of Wonders runs for about one and a half hour. While it may seem to be too long, I can assure you it will be worth your time. It talks about the different aspects of God's majesty, power, and glory.
So, give it a try. Watch God of Wonders today and after watching it, you might even think of ordering a copy from Amazon.
Another prophet of old saw a vision of God. His name is Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1).
Ezekiel saw the heavens opened. He saw a great whirlwind coming out of the north. Along with the whirlwind is a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself. The fire radiates a bright color of amber.
5 Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. 6 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. 7 Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves' feet. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze. 8 The hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings. 9 Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight forward.
10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle. 11 Thus were their faces. Their wings stretched upward; two wings of each one touched one another, and two covered their bodies. 12 And each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went.
13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches going back and forth among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and out of the fire went lightning. 14 And the living creatures ran back and forth, in appearance like a flash of lightning.
15 Now as I looked at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature with its four faces. 16 The appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 17 When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went. 18 As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them. 19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 20 Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
22 The likeness of the firmament above the heads of the living creatures was like the color of an awesome crystal, stretched out over their heads. 23 And under the firmament their wings spread out straight, one toward another. Each one had two which covered one side, and each one had two which covered the other side of the body. 24 When they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a tumult like the noise of an army; and when they stood still, they let down their wings. 25 A voice came from above the firmament that was over their heads; whenever they stood, they let down their wings.
26 And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it. 27 Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around. 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.
As you can see in this passage, Yah is just beyond our wildest imagination. His power and glory are just OUT OF THIS WORLD. No one can even begin to wrap his mind around this vision and how it might have left an unforgettable impression on Ezekiel.
Among the disciples of Yahshua, or more popularly known as Jesus Christ, Peter, James, and John were given the astonishing opportunity to witness a vision of the transfigured Christ along with Elijah and Moses.
[Christ's] face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light (Matthew 17:2).
After seeing the magnificent vision, the disciples "fell on their faces and were GREATLY afraid" (verse 6).
Let's read John's vision of the Throne Room of God (Revelation 4).
2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. 3 And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
After reading this post, you just get a tiny glimpse of how awesome our God really is. As hard as the prophets and Apostles of Christ tried to express what they saw, words can't completely convey the majesty of our Heavenly Father.
However, I hope this gives us an idea that we are truly serving a POWERFUL, LIVING, and AWESOME GOD.
Oh, how marvelous it is that the most Supreme Being in the vast universe seeks to establish a loving and close relationship with us, finite, mortal, and fragile human beings.
Even if God is just filled with so much unimaginable majesty, power, and glory, we can still come to His Holy Throne and talk to Him. Even if we are mortals, we can still go to God and call Him our Father.
Shouldn't we be filled with awe, respect, and reverence to the God whom we worship?

10 Reasons Avatar Is Pure Evil
By Simon Kinnear 2009-01-28T08:00:00.27Z Feature
James Cameron on trial for crimes against humanity
It's Anti-American
The prosecution: Avatar 's story details Earth's occupation of alien moon Pandora, as humans battle the indigenous Na'vi for control of precious mineral Unobtanium.
Sound familiar? Try substituting 'humans' for 'Americans.' For Pandora, read Iraq. Unobtainium? That'd be oil.
At least, that's the opinion of several right-wing commentators - this one's a good example - who are frothing that James Cameron (incidentally, not American: he's Canadian) is getting away with such blatant leftist propaganda.
The defence: Criticising a country's political leaders - in this case Dubya's neocons and their "shock and awe" foreign policy - is hardly the same as criticising the entire country. Plenty of Americans were anti-war too, remember.
Besides, look who's helping the Na'vi - a gaggle of sympathetic humans led by Sully (Sam Worthington). As The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw observed, "The film [is] unable to decide if it wants to kick the ass of every alien in sight or get all eco-touchy-feely with them. It's a Dubya movie trying its darnedest to get with the new Obama programme."
The judgement: The metaphor isn't hard to miss, and the inferences to recent events not exactly what we'd call subtle. But does that make Cameron's film a rallying call for for discontented audiences to take up arms against America? Er, no.
NOT GUILTY.
It's Pro-Smoking
The Prosecution: Scenesmoking.org awarded Avatar a 'black lung' for unacceptable depictions of smoking. Stanton A. Glantz of the Smoke Free Movies Initiative claimed the film is "like someone just put a bunch of plutonium in the water supply."
All because Dr Grace Augustine (Signourney Weaver), one of the film's heroes, is such a nicotine fiend she's gasping for a smoke as soon as she comes out of cryogenic sleep. Clearly, Cameron must be in the employ of death stick merchants.
The Defence: An aggrieved Cameron has hit back with a lengthy, logical riposte that the on-screen smoking is intentionally unattractive.
Grace's physical unhealthiness, he claims, is a deliberate contrast to the care with which she treats her Avatar, a conscious dig at Second Lifers who buff up online while downing deep pan pizzas in real-life.
The Judgement: Cameron's certainly talking sense, although his argument tends to be undone by the fact that Weaver looks way cool (and dare we say, smokin' hot) as she puffs away on a fag.
But at least he is talking sense, unlike the hysterical gubbins Mr Glantz is spouting.
It's Homophobic
The Prosecution: According to http://www.stopavatarmovie.blogspot.com/ Avatar should be boycotted for - wait for it - promoting heterosexual themes.
Angry transgender blogger Lara insists that today's social norms will be a thing of the past by the year 2154. " Avatar ignores the fact of Evolution. Humans are evolving to be being Transgender, NOT heterosexual."
The future, it seems, will be out and proud. Including the Na'vi.
The Defence: Leaving aside the question of where Lara studied evolutionary science, where did (s)he study logic?
The absence of a positive - or, indeed, any - transgender romantic role model isn't by default a negative step. Otherwise films as diverse as Casablanca , Dirty Dancing , The Lady And The Tramp and (oh yes) Titanic would be similarly homophobic.
As for the future, isn't it enough that we've already had one homoerotic sci-fi movie in the past year? Kirk and Spock are so into each other.
The Judgement: This argument's a complete non-starter. NOT GUILTY.
Although, thinking about it, Cameron might have missed a trick by not including a bi-curious fella slipping into a lady Na'vi suit for some extra-terrestrial lesbianism. Maybe one for the sequel?
It Promotes Papyrus
The Prosecution: Design blogs are up in arms at Cameron's choice of the deeply naff and overused Papyrus typeface, synonymous with "New Age spa owners, suburban party planners, and young couples looking to save money by making their own wedding invitations."
As this wittily satirical letter to Cameron - 'written by' the font itself - puts it: "Kudos to you for not spending a single cent of your massive budget on an expensive, attractive font for the subtitles, and opting to put me to the task instead."
The Defence: Woody Allen has got away with the same white Windsor Elongated typeface on a black background for over three decades and nobody complains.
Cameron uses one unimaginative font – in a film otherwise teeming with jaw-dropping graphics – and suddenly the world's ended.
The Judgement: It's a bit tacky, we'll admit, but it's not even the worst thing about the end credits. That'd be the Leona Lewis dirge, obviously.
It's Painful
The Prosecution: Ouch! Many viewers have left Avatar dazed not by the film's eye-popping visuals but in actual physical pain from the process of their eyes popped.
See, the conditions required to create a 3D image on-screen work against the natural patterns of eye movement, which can induce eye strain and migraines.
Worse, it can lead to nausea. In the words of an already infamous early review, "The problem is with cutting in between 3D focal points and perspective - the mind cannot adjust to it without a buffer - thus, Avatar is literally vomit inducing."
The Defence: This is a traditional problem with 3D, but it's one that only affects about 20% of the population.
And Cameron has worked hard to make life easy for that 20%. The 3D system he pioneered for Avatar uses technology that compensates for our visual instincts, aligning the cinematography's focus with the eyes' point of convergence. As this helpful guide explains, as long as we look where we're being guided to look, ocular problems should be minimal.
The Judgement: It depends - literally - on your viewpoint, but the majority verdict is clear.
It Promotes Bestiality
The Prosecution: Expect this one to really take off come Avatar 's DVD release, but the case is already being built in preparation .
The issue? Interviewed about Neytiri's sex scene with Sully, Zoe Saldana explained that the full version (a likely deleted or extended scene on disc) confirms that the Na'vi physical act of love involves the interlinking of those swishy tail things.
"If you sync to your banshee and you're syncing to a tree, why not sync into a person?" Saldana muses. "I almost feel like you'll have the most amazing orgasm."
Trouble is, that raises the spectre of what exactly the Na'vi are really doing when they're riding around on their banshees.
The Defence: It's difficult - not to mention a little crazy - to ponder the hypotheticals of a fictional biology, but all the on-screen clues suggest Pandora's eco-system is pretty sophisticated. It's hardly a stretch, then, to assume that the Na'vi plug-and-play system has more than one function.
" I think the bestiality thing is waay off," observed blogger TwiceDead. "We can use our hands for controlling a horse or for touching someone in a sexual manner - but by touching a horse we're not shagging it." Quite.
The Judgement: THe bestiality theory would certainly change the meaning of the scene where Sully wrestles the Banshee into submission. But until we see them lying in a hammock sharing a post-coital cuddle, it remains just a theory.
Its Racist
The Prosecution: Plenty of ammo from bloggers and columnists who see Avatar as that age-old 'white guilt' fantasy where an oppressor sees the light and rides to the rescue of the poor ethnic minority.
According to The Daily Telegraph's Will Heaven , "The ethnic Na'vi need the white man to save them because, as a less developed race, they lack the intelligence and fortitude to overcome their adversaries by themselves. The poor helpless natives, in other words, must rely on the principled white man to lead them out of danger."
The Defence: Heaven compares Avatar to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness , which is interesting because both are also quite blatantly a critique of racist oppression.
And, as in countless other examples of this type of story from Dances With Wolves to District 9 , it's kinda difficult to make that point without having a would-be aggressor find himself preferring the other fella's lifestyle.
The Judgement: People are always bound to find dodgy subtexts if they go looking for them. But, on the balance of probabilities, we think Cameron would be mortified at the conclusions drawn here.
NOT GUILTY. True Lies , on the other hand…
It Promotes Drug Use
The Prosecution: Like 2001: A Space Odyssey before it, Avatar has brought out the stoners in force. The difference is, now they can communicate their experiences and experiments at the click of a mouse .
Or, more terrifyingly, they can do this .
The Defence: If ever there was a movie that didn't need drugs, it's Avatar' s bioluminescent weirdness. If anything, it's more likely to replace drugs.
One wag has even come up with the inspired theory that, maybe, Unobtainium is itself a much-sought after narcotic , making the whole film an anti-drugs metaphor.
The Judgement: Frankly, the film is trippy enough as it is. Don't do it, kids.
It's Too Realistic
The Prosecution: Cameron said all along that the immersive splendour of Avatar would change the way we thought about cinema. In fact, in less than a month, it's changed the way many people think about reality.
Check out the already vastly popular www.naviblue.com fan forum, a haven for so-called Avatards who long for the 3D vistas of Pandora to be an actual geographical place.
Praise ranges from the merely overenthusiastic ("The combination of bonding and the life and nature on the moon of Pandora puts a tear to my eye") to the downright worrying ("I even contemplate suicide thinking that if i do it i will be re birthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in Avatar ").
The Defense: Scoff you may but if, at some point in your adult life, you've a) bought a limited edition action figure, b) left a comment on an Internet forum or c) let the existence of Jar-Jar Binks bother you in any way, you might consider moving out of that glass replica of The Fortress of Solitude before you start throwing stones.
The Judgement: Pandora might look so tangible you can touch it, but it's also populated by ten-foot-tall blue-skinned aliens who ride around on giant winged monsters.
Unless you're one Na'vi short of a Hometree, that's a dead giveaway that this isn't real .
NOT GUILTY .
It's A Remake
The Prosecution: Does Avatar seems at all familiar? But you can't quite remember where you've seen it before?
Well, check out this astute piece of detective work , which suggests Cameron was thinking of a certain 1990s Disney cartoon.
The Defence: The Na'vi are blue. Seriously, that's all we have.
The Judgement: Sorry Jim, you're totally busted on this one.
GUILTY!

American space tourist blasts off
Our Staff Reporter
BAIKONUR (AFP) - American millionaire video game guru Richard Garriott followed in his astronaut father's footsteps Sunday, blasting off aboard a Russian rocket to become the world's sixth space tourist. Sealed inside the Soyuz TMA-13 capsule together with a Russian cosmonaut and US astronaut, Garriott was catapulted towards the International Space Station (ISS) from the Baikonur base in the dusty steppes of Kazakhstan at 0701 GMT. Several hundred observers were present at the launch sight and they applauded as the rocket roared off the launch pad and rose into the blue skies overhead. Within 10 minutes of the launch, controllers confirmed the spacecraft had entered its planned orbit. Champagne corks popped as family and friends of the crew celebrated the apparently successful start of the mission. "I'm very happy for him," said Garriott's girlfriend, Kelly Miller, tears welling up in her eyes. "It's one of the things he always wanted to do... I feel like it's well worth the opportunity." The flight, which cost Garriott 30 million dollars, was programmed to settle into orbit about nine minutes after take-off and reach the ISS at 0833 GMT on Tuesday. Garriott now becomes the first American to follow a parent into space, hopes to be able to recoup the money he paid for the experience. Unlike the five space tourists who came before him, Garriott views space as a family business. His father is former US astronaut Owen Garriott, who in 1973 spent two months aboard Skylab, the first orbiting space station. "I grew up in a family of astronauts and I always wanted to do what my father did," the 47-year-old said ahead of his long-awaited departure. Owen Garriott, also present at his son's launch, seemed well pleased with his son. "It's marvellous," the elder Garriot said after the rocket roared off the launch pad. "Very good."

Each year Second Year students are given an opportunity to travel abroad on the annual school tour. Students have visited a number of European countries over the years. The tour provides a valuable cultural experience for students and is one of the highlights of their time in our school.
The First Year Concert is a long-standing tradition in the school. Each first year class gets the opportunity to perform on stage and full class participation is encouraged. It is a night packed with entertainment and the stuff memories are made of.
Involvement by students in games and leisure activities is important for personal development. Participation in these activities is encouraged. Our pupils recognise the honour it is to represent the school in these events. Students in Coolmine enjoy a wide range of activities.
Sporting activities include Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Camogie, Girls and Boys Soccer and Gaelic football, Gymnastics, Hurling, Olympic Handball, Rugby, Swimming and Table Tennis.
(Community care, hospitality, and sports…). These students assist in promoting / organising a number of events in the school while developing their leadership, communication and inter – personal skills. A Barnardos children's party, table quizzes, soccer leagues, charity fund raising events are just a few examples of the valuable work done by members of An Chomhairle.
This is a group of Fifth Year students who volunteer to work with our new First Years every year. This group of about forty Fifth Years assist with First Year Orientation day and act as mentors and friends to our First Years as they settle into the routine of Coolmine. They also assist the Ceann Tí in organising events throughout First Year.
One of the most recent developments in Coolmine has been the establishment of a School Choir at both junior and senior level. It is a measure of their success that they have enhanced many school occasions, performed in Blanchardstown Centre and recorded their own CD.
Cool FM was established in 1988 and it is the only school radio in Ireland. It goes on air every Friday at lunchtime. Fifth year students research, produce and present each programme under the guidance of one of their teachers. Over the years it has been supported by 2FM, 98FM and FM104.
Other activities on offer are Charity Fundraising, Debating, Slógadh, Drama, Science / Mathematics Olympiads, Music recitals, Study Skills Programmes, and Personal Development Programmes.

Q: Chrome Local Overrides don't persist on refresh I'm adding local css overrides to page, and they work! But when refreshing the page the stylesheet in overrides tab still shows, but styles aren't reflected. I thought the main reason for local overrides functionality in chrome was so that those changes persist on page refresh.
I noticed that the styles are only "re-enabled" when I manually add a new style rule to the page through devtools "Styles" tab on the inspector (just pressing the "+" button, nothing specific the rule can be empty).
Some possible solutions:

*

*Chrome CSS Local Overrides instead of !important for Chrome Extension (but doesn't address this case specifically)

*Local overrides in chrome – keep active while devtools are closed (seems related, no answers on this question)

(For context this featured on Chrome explained here: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-devtools-65/#overrides)
Please help!

A: inspector-stylesheet you add rules to is NOT a web resource, it's NOT on page until you add it.
Click and hold "add css rule" to select stylesheet that persists on page reload, then it'll be included on reload

Tomorrow we are having a second Guardian Hack Day, our first at Kings Place. Simon Willison has been asking for suggestions of tools that non-coding hackers can use to build stuff, and has put together a great list. I'm giving a lightning talk on 'Graceful hacks', hence the #ghack2 UX related links in today's link dump.
"'Silk' is a smooth, free icon set, containing over 700 16-by-16 pixel icons in strokably-soft PNG format. Containing a large variety of icons, you're sure to find something that tickles your fancy. And all for a low low price of $0.00. You can't say fairer than that."
The Guardian style guide is a good basis for deciding whether you should use web-site, website or "web site" in your hack.
"Still confused about the Associated Press's announcement last week about a new content tagging system that's supposed to provide rights information? I am — but the AP's apparently not talking to anyone further about it".
"I like conversing with my 16 year old god son because he uses the computer completely differently from me or anyone else I know who is over 25. We had a massive debate about whether or not internet 'friends' are really friends and whether you can ever really trust someone you only know in the virtual world. I feel strongly that they are not and that you cannot. Needless to say, he feels strongly that they are and you can". I'm think they are both right - there isn't a solid line in online and offline anymore - there are people whom I only know online who I would trust professionally and personally to the nth degree.
For a long time I've been arguing that the Mail's paper and online brands are both excellent at what they aim to do, but are too divergent to hang together as a unified editorial proposition. This article is a typical example. Absolutely priceless amongst the user comments: "Sorry, I haven't read this article yet - am too busy staring at the Hollyoaks babes bikini calendar article..." [via about 100 regular Mail bashers].
"THERE'S 70 BILLION PEOPLE OF EARTH -- WHERE ARE THEY HIDING" features prominently throughout the Cabaret Voltaire single "YASHAR" and comes from "DEMON WITH A GLASS HAND," an episode of "THE OUTER LIMITS" from Oct. 17, 1964.
"The plans for the new integrated Thameslink/Crossrail Ticket Hall are now up on the Islington Council website. I've pulled out a few of the more interesting perspectives and cross sections to try and give a 'feel' for the new station, which I've included below."

Located in Sparks, the Northern Nevada Medical Center is a severe care hospital offering medical care to Sparks, Reno, and the surrounding areas of Nevada and California. The BCS team installed the operating room's pressure, temperature, and humidification control systems to assist in infection prevention and control.


12 Comments on Dreams vs. Dreams!
Happy birthday, BVB! I started making these around the end of November last year as part of an attempt to get myself just generally drawing more, and I couldn't have predicted that'd I'd fall crazy in love with them. I also wasn't expecting anyone else but me to really dig it! This comic has been one of the best parts of the past year for me, and it just warms my little heart that it keeps getting positive reactions from friends, acquaintances, family (ha ha, yep, my family's seen all the smutty ones) and rad internet people. Love you all.
My New Comic Year resolution is to maybe put an actual schedule on these things and do more of them — because seriously, I want to tell a million pastel cartoon band stories. Onward!
Something else I've been meaning to mention: one of my activity pages is in the current issue of ROCKSALT, a free comics newspaper that you can pick up in Austin, Texas! Which I've never set foot in! This is the work of my unstoppable best comixpal Jeanne and her crew, and I'm delighted to be this weird lone Canadian connection to it.
And then maybe a somewhat-depressing game of Hide And Go Drink.
I visited the Honeypie Cathouse once. It was NOT what I was expecting.
Anyway, you go, Kathleen; keep those pencils scratchin'. Maybe Honey and Turpentine will finally kiss by the one millionth panel! Good luck with the whole regular posting thing.
I Just want to jump through the screen and into B Vs.B world! More comics in 2012 would be delicious.
…I think jumping into this world would involve some crazy transformation sequence where all of your colors get converted to pink and blue in a whirlwind of hearts and stars.
i super love bvb! happy band vs birthday!!
Thanks! …and clearly I should file away "band vs. birthday" as a title for some future page.
Yup. Maybe Honey heard the phrase out of context and pictured, like, this.


Whether it's at the Kingsholm Stadium or out and about show you're a fan of the West Country club in this Gloucester 18/19 Alternate S/S Replica Rugby Shirt from X Blades.
The Cherry and White's, Gloucester Rugby, are a Gallagher Premiership team who reached the final of the European Rugby Challange Cup in the 17/18 season and look to compete further with the addition of new match and training attire for 18/19. This shirt is made from XPF ClimaxPlus meaning it has lightweight performance fabric with moisture managing properties.
The most notable aspect of new kit is a radically redesigned club logo that will adorn the famous cherry and white jersey from now on. The new crest is a modern design, but incorporates several aspects of the club's history – the lion is a holdover from previous Gloucester badges and throws back to the city's coat of arms, while the red and white stripes of the lion's mane are designed to reflect the cherry and white hoops of Gloucester's classic jersey. The shield of the badge is designed as a nod to the history of the city of Gloucester, while the '1873' is a nod to the club's long and prestigious history.
The new home shirt is a modern yet classic take on the traditional hooped Gloucester jersey that's reminiscent of their 2002/3 shirt– abandoning the classic hoops that XBlades have opted for in recent seasons. The 2018/19 home shirt is primarily white accented with grey hoops. It's capped off with a white collar and sleeve cuffs. The club badge is on the left side of the shirt with the X Blades logo in the middle under the neck. The club's sponsor - Mitsubishi Motors - is printed across the middle.

Genital herpes is passed on by skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, oral or anal sex, or by sharing sex toys. You can get genital herpes even if there are no visible sores or blisters, and once you have the virus, there is no cure. 'Herpes is more likely to be passed on just before, during or straight after an outbreak, as herpes blisters and sores are highly infectious,' says O'Sullivan.
Varicella-zoster is transmitted though the mucosa of the respiratory system, specifically the upper respiratory tract, or the conjunctiva of the eye. Initial replication takes place in the regional lymph nodes, and then the virus spreads and replication begins in the liver and spleen. The virus is then transported to the skin where the rash develops. The incubation period of varicella is about 10 to 21 days.
There are two types of herpes simplex viruses (HSV), they are termed HSV-1 and HSV-2. These two viruses have distinctly different DNA, and both cause oral and genital lesions. However, HSV-1 causes about 80% of all oral lesions and only about 20% of genital lesions while HSV-2 causes the reverse (about 80% genital and 20% oral). Studies also suggest that in adolescents, up to 40% of genital herpes is caused by HSV-1 because of reported increased oral/genital contact (transmission by oral sex).
Consequently, you may already have the virus. A doctor can determine this with a blood test for Herpes 2 (Ig), a type-specific immunoglobulin. If you are already infected, you won't be at risk for a new infection — you and your boyfriend already share the virus. But knowing your herpes status will tell you whether you are capable of infecting a future partner.
Herpes is transmitted via skin-to-skin contact, not through blood or saliva. Cullins explains that someone with HSV can be shedding the herpes virus without having an outbreak (known as asymptomatic virus shedding), and infect somebody that way. Suppressive antiviral medications, like acyclovir or valacyclovir, inhibit HSV replication, which decreases shedding but does not completely eliminate it, says Johnston.
The cell this virus targets is the B lymphocyte. These cells mature in the bone marrow and are a type of mononuclear leukocyte cells - white blood cells with a one-lobed nucleus. The incubation period for the Epstein – Barr Virus (EBV) is about 30 to 50 days, and patients typically have enlarged lymph nodes and spleens. Some patients have signs of hepatitis.
Herpes infection can cause sores or breaks in the skin or lining of the mouth, vagina, and rectum. This provides a way for HIV to enter the body. Even without visible sores, having genital herpes increases the number of CD4 cells (the cells that HIV targets for entry into the body) found in the lining of the genitals. When a person has both HIV and genital herpes, the chances are higher that HIV will be spread to an HIV-uninfected sex partner during sexual contact with their partner's mouth, vagina, or rectum.
Some people have recurrent outbreaks with the so-called "classic" blister-like herpes lesions that crust over, or with painful sores. In recurrent herpes, however, this process usually takes about half the time it does in first episodes. In addition, many people have very subtle forms of recurrent herpes that heal up in a matter of days. And lastly, herpes is capable of reactivating without producing any visible lesions (asymptomatic reactivation).
Herpes type 2 is one of two types of HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus). The virus is also known as HSV-2 and differs slightly from HSV-1. It is also called genital herpes or herpes genitalis, which is considered a harmless viral infection. Herpes genitalis is usually considered a sexually transmitted disease. However, it is not listed among notifiable diseases regulated under the Public Health Act.
Worldwide rates of either HSV-1 or HSV-2 are between 60% and 95% in adults.[4] HSV-1 is usually acquired during childhood.[1] Rates of both increase as people age.[4] Rates of HSV-1 are between 70% and 80% in populations of low socioeconomic status and 40% to 60% in populations of improved socioeconomic status.[4] An estimated 536 million people worldwide (16% of the population) were infected with HSV-2 as of 2003 with greater rates among women and those in the developing world.[10] Most people with HSV-2 do not realize that they are infected.[1] The name is from Greek: ἕρπης herpēs which means "to creep", referring to spreading blisters.[11] The name does not refer to latency.[12]
As of 2017, there is not currently a herpes vaccine available to prevent HSV-1 or HSV-2. (There is a vaccine available for another virus, herpes zoster; however, despite the similar name, it actually refers to the shingles virus. And, in fact, shingles occurs due to the reactivation of yet another virus, varicella zoster, which causes chicken pox.)
Recurrent outbreaks of genital herpes may happen, with some patients having four to six outbreaks in the span of a year. Compared to the first infection, subsequent recurrences are less painful and occur in shorter periods than the first infection. There are some patients, however, who don't have another outbreak for many years or even once more during their lifetime.11
Dr. Shiel received a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from the University of Notre Dame. There he was involved in research in radiation biology and received the Huisking Scholarship. After graduating from St. Louis University School of Medicine, he completed his Internal Medicine residency and Rheumatology fellowship at the University of California, Irvine. He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.
Although the cause is unknown, outbreaks are often associated with periods of weakened immune systems, skin wounds, menstruation, fever, nerve damage, tissue damage from surgery, or exposure to extreme climate situations. A genital herpes outbreak or episode occurs when the HSV-1 or HSV-2 virus is reactivated from its dormant stage. Genital herpes is an incurable disease, and once you contract it, you may experience outbreaks throughout your lifetime. Those who are experiencing their first herpes episode of genital herpes can expect to have several (typically four or five) outbreaks within a year. Over time these recurrences usually decrease in frequency and severity. The first outbreak of herpes is often the longest outbreak experienced. After that, short and inconsistent episodes can be managed and treated with antiviral medication.
Genital herpes is not usually accommodated by symptoms. Two-thirds of genital herpes cases are asymptomatic. Getting tested for both HSV-1 and HSV-2 is the only sure way to know if you have genital herpes. Blisters or sores in the genital area, fever, body aches, swollen lymph nodes, headaches, tiredness and painful urination call all be symptoms of genital herpes.
HSV infection causes several distinct medical disorders. Common infection of the skin or mucosa may affect the face and mouth (orofacial herpes), genitalia (genital herpes), or hands (herpetic whitlow). More serious disorders occur when the virus infects and damages the eye (herpes keratitis), or invades the central nervous system, damaging the brain (herpes encephalitis). People with immature or suppressed immune systems, such as newborns, transplant recipients, or people with AIDS, are prone to severe complications from HSV infections. HSV infection has also been associated with cognitive deficits of bipolar disorder,[13] and Alzheimer's disease, although this is often dependent on the genetics of the infected person.
The HSV viruses multiply in the human cell by overtaking and utilizing most of the human cells functions. One of the HSV steps in multiplication is to take control of the human cell's nucleus and alter its structure. The altered nucleus (enlarged and lobulated or multinucleated) is what actually is used to help diagnose herpes simplex infections by microscopic examination. The reason sores appear is because as they mature the many HSV particles rupture the human cell's membrane as they break out of the cell.
If there is enlargement of the spleen, strenuous physical exercise should be avoided to prevent rupture. With the exception of possible complications, mono is rarely fatal and recovery is complete. Once recovered from the mono, you will usually have lifelong immunity from further infection because the body produces antibodies. If too hasty a departure is made from bed rest, however, a relapse may be experienced.
Although herpes treatment is helpful, there is no cure. However, in most cases, outbreaks become fewer, less painful, and weaker over the course of a few years. If you have herpes, you can take certain medications to help manage the infection. Using herpes treatments is usually very effective in speeding up the healing of sores and preventing them from returning frequently.


Try This : A Stellar Californian Chard That Delights The Parts Others Don't - Good Food RevolutionGood Food Revolution | Wine is food.
If, like me, you happen to have any friends who are a wee bit snobby when it comes to their Chardonnays and tend to turn up their noses at anything Californian, then I'd strongly suggest that you grab yourself a bottle of this cracker and serve the first glass to them blind. I can guarantee that you won't be drinking the rest of the bottle alone.
Although perhaps a bit pricey for most of our readership's everyday drinking (it certainly is for me!), this Sonoma Coast Chardonnay from Flowers is worth every penny, and deserves all five of those shiny apples below when it comes to price/quality ratio alone.
Sourced from a cluster of contract growers' vineyards in the very west of Sonoma, and containing a parcel of Flowers' estate fruit, this exceptional example of cooler climate Californian Chardonnay seriously bowled me over. Since first tasting Flowers wines some years ago, I had always been impressed by their wines' definition, crispness, and bright, vibrant fruit, but this vintage really took me by surprise. Where many a Californian Chardonnay falls at the very first hurdle, a clumsy mess of chubby, overripe fruit, this one breaks out from the pack and takes the gold.
The 20% new French cooperage does exactly what was asked of it, adding a tiny little cheeky sprinkle of warm spice to this powerful, and yet poised and elegant wine. It's a complex beast, with a defined, mouth-watering citrusy, lemon note running throughout both nose and palate. Texturally, all of that Californian alcohol, ripe fruit, and richness is lifted effortlessly by the wine's outstandingly crisp seam of acidity, making the wine truly dance in the mouth ; This factor makes it the ideal wine for the dinner table, unlike many of the mediocre Californian Chardonnays that you'll find on the shelves these days.
One of my favourite New World wines of 2016 thus far.
Post Script: It would probably actually benefit from a year in the cellar. Delicious now, but I feel it would improve with 12 months asleep in the dark.

After a Foot of Rain, the Green Comes Fast
Tasting the Wines in the Spring 2021 VINsider Wine Club shipments
Revisiting the 2001 Roussanne and the Beginning of the Tablas Creek Varietal Program
The original model for Tablas Creek was that we were going to make one red wine and one white wine, with the thought that when the vineyard had matured, we might make a reserve-level white and red as well. We named our first wines Tablas Creek Blanc and Tablas Creek Rouge.
Within a few years, we'd come to the conclusion that this simple model was a mistake, for two reasons. First, it didn't give the market much help in figuring out what the wines were. Sure, the Rouge was red. And the Blanc was white. But other than providing elementary French lessons, that didn't help a consumer trying to figure out what was in those wines, or what they would taste like. In an era where blends from California didn't yet have a category on most shelves or wine lists, that was two strikes against us at the start. Second, and more importantly, having just one red and one white didn't give us any flexibility in putting the wines together. If using everything threw off the balance between the varietals, or a lot didn't have the character we wanted, our only option was to sell off those lots. That's a painful choice to make, and although we did it from time to time, usually the blends ended up containing something close to the full production of that color from that year.
Things started to change for us in 1999. We made the decision during the blending of that vintage to pull out a couple of Grenache lots that were juicy but also quite alcoholic and tannic from our main blend, blended them with a little Syrah and Mourvedre, and called the wine "Petite Cuvée". That allowed us to shift our main red blend to be heavier on Mourvedre and feature a richer, lusher profile. We called that "Reserve Cuvée".
The next year, we added a third blend from three remarkable barrels, called it Panoplie, and renamed the two blends we'd made the year before. Petite Cuvée became Cotes de Tablas, referencing the usually Grenache-based wines of Cotes du Rhone, while the Reserve Cuvée became Esprit de Beaucastel, connecting its Mourvedre-driven profile with that of Beaucastel and making our connection with our partners more explicit. And with the 2001 vintage, we applied that same model to the whites, making our first vintage of Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc. We were able to be selective with the Esprit tier, make better wines than before, and get recognition for that from press and collectors. We were able to sell the Cotes tier at a price that restaurants could pour by the glass, and get exposure to new customers. As I wrote last year in my reflections on our 30th anniversary, these changes were a big part of helping us get ourselves established in the marketplace. But as anyone who has counted the 25+ wines that we now make each year will realize, that's not the end of the story.
It turned out that each year there were some lots that were so evocative of an individual grape that it seemed a shame to blend that character away. The first time we acted on this nagging feeling was 2001, when my dad identified two Roussanne barrels while tasting through the cellar in advance of that year's blending. He made the executive decision that we should bottle them alone and we'd be able to figure out how to sell them. It was, after all, only 50 cases. And it turned out that with the opening of our tasting room in 2002, it was valuable having something that was not available in distribution for the people who made the trek out to see us, and even more valuable having a varietal bottling of this grape that was still new to most of our visitors, so they could start to wrap their heads around it. The label has my dad's typically dense, complete description of the selection process on its back:
And the wine itself has always been compelling. I have a vivid memory of a dinner I hosted in 2004 or 2005 where, when this 2001 Roussanne was opened on the other side of the room, the whole gathering stopped what they were doing and looked over because the room had filled with the aroma of honeysuckle. But it had been years since I opened one, and so I pulled a bottle out of our library yesterday to check in, and invited our winemaking team to join me. It was amazing.
My tasting notes from yesterday:
A lovely gold color in the glass, still tinged with Roussanne's typical hint of green. The nose shows sugar cookies and lemon curd, warm honeycomb and cinnamon stick. On the palate, dense and lush with flavors of spun sugar and candied ginger. Someone around the table called it "liquid flan". And as sweet as all those descriptors make it sound, it was dry, with just enough acid to keep it fresh without taking away from the wine's lushness. The finish had notes of graham cracker, dried straw, and vanilla custard. Neil called it "an exceptional moment for an exceptional bottle".
With this wine as the starting point, we added new varietals most vintages in the 2000's, each time when we found lots that evoked the grape particularly vividly. Syrah, Counoise, Tannat, Grenache Blanc, and Vermentino debuted in 2002. Mourvedre, Viognier, and Picpoul saw their first vintages in 2003. Grenache came on in 2006, and Marsanne completed the list of our original imports in 2010. Once we started getting the obscure Chateauneuf du Pape grapes out of quarantine and into production in the 2010s, those made their debuts as varietal bottlings: Clairette Blanche and Terret Noir in 2013, Picardan in 2016, and Bourboulenc, Vaccarese, and Cinsaut in 2019. These wines have proven to be fascinating for us, and great tools to share the potential and diversity of the Rhone pantheon with our wine club members and other visitors to the winery.
But it all started here, in 2001, with two barrels of Roussanne. To know that two decades later that first-ever Tablas Creek varietal wine is not just still alive but a shining testament to the potential of this grape in this place is pretty darn cool.

Russia and the US have agreed to build a new space station called Deep Space Gateway in the moon's orbit, the head of Russia's Roscosmos space agency said, adding that the first modules could be ready between 2024 and 2026.
"We [Roscosmos and NASA] have agreed to join the project to build a new international Deep Space Gateway station in [the] moon's orbit," Roscosmos head Igor Komarov said, as cited by Interfax.
The official was speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide, Australia on Wednesday.
The first stage of the project will involve the construction of the orbital part of the station, Komarov announced.
He added that the technologies involved can later be used on the moon's surface and, potentially, on Mars.
The project is also open for other states to join, including China, India, Brazil, and South Africa, Komarov announced, adding that the various sides discussed their potential contributions to the project.
Russia's part in the project could be the development of up to three modules for the station. It may also work out the standards for a docking system capable of welcoming various types of spaceships, the Roscosmos head said.
The announcement of the joint project comes at a time of crumbling relations between Moscow and Washington. The Ukrainian crisis, as well as the two countries' approaches to handling issues surrounding Syria and North Korea, remain key stumbling blocks.
Space exploration, however, including joint missions on the International Space Station (ISS), appears to be one area where Moscow and Washington have mutual understanding.
In 2014, as the Ukrainian crisis unfolded and Washington accused Russia of interfering in the country, US astronaut Michael Hopkins told RT that the deteriorating relations between the two countries is not felt in space.
"I think, actually, the International Space Station is still an example of what our nations can accomplish when they work together," he said.
Deep Space Gateway can help "gain experience for human missions that push farther into the solar system, access the lunar surface for robotic missions but with the ability to return to Earth if needed in days rather than weeks or months," according to a NASA statement in March.
In June, Komarov said that Roscosmos, NASA, and the European Space Agency (ESA) all understand that if cooperation breaks down, it will seriously affect each other's work.
"It's very easy to make hasty decisions which would interrupt our cooperation. In many respects, we and our partners understand that it will put us back, and so from the space agencies, there's an understanding that this cooperation needs to be maintained and continued," he said at that time.
Just months before that, another American astronaut, Douglas H. Wheelock, told RT that Russia and the US should work together to benefit humanity.
"We're all breathing the same air. We can draw borders, but from space you can't see them," he said.
Quote "another American astronaut, Douglas H. Wheelock, told RT that Russia and the US should work together to benefit humanity" unquote.
My memory may be fading but didn't JFK say precisely that in the 1960s?
For a few years the west has been reliant on Russia to get our astronauts to and from the ISS. I have faith in NASA and the scientific community to do the right thing. Nice if they could influence DC.
NASA will lie as usual, when so ordered. They never made it around the moon.
My concern is the deaths of all who try to get to moon orbit. Robots may not even make it. If you have to ask why, find someone else to answer you. What weird message doe this accord portend?
So back down here on earth we have the USA and the Russian Federation at logger-heads over Syria and the south pacific, trading verbal blows through the MSM. Military posturing and antagonising through drills alongside strategic allies' interface territories. Not to mention the 'meddling' in elections. Yet again........ When it comes to space, we're all great buddies.

One-year-old George Henry Mendoza died this date, January 20th, in 1847 and was buried at Bethel Burying Ground.
One-year-old George Henry Mendoza died this date, January 20th, in 1847 of Whooping Cough and was buried at Bethel Burying Ground. The child was the son of 17-year-old Louisa Mendoza, a single mother, who was employed as a domestic day worker, according to the 1847 African American Census and the 1850 Federal Census. This small family lived in a 10'x10′ room at 8 Adam Street for which Ms. Mendoza paid $2 a month. Records also report that she could read and write and that she did not attend religious services. There are no records indicating who the child's father might have been.
From 1847 through 1848, a total of 154 Philadelphia children died from Whooping Cough.
Three years after her child died, Ms. Mendoza is listed in the 1850 Federal Census as a live-in domestic for a wealthy merchant family in center city Philadelphia.

An unparalleled growth
is sprawling so unexpectedly that if calculations are correct, it may be the most populous city of Australia within roughly 10 years. This is, however, not without precedence or reason. The city already experienced a massive boom during the gold rush in the 19th century, after which it became a significant port, further helping the development of the region. In later centuries and decades, the local community rode the waves of industrialization and digitization enviably, and built a system on which a truly educated, well-off and intelligent society can rest. Today's Melbourne is paramount when it comes to culture, education, healthcare and general infrastructure. No wonder why it was chosen as the world's most livable city for seven (!) consecutive years by The Economist Intelligence Unit. It has just the perfect size to be accessible and to provide rich soil for entrepreneurs, businesses, smaller companies and startups, all of whom may easily build a powerful network of connections there within a few weeks or months. So better update your portfolio with a local street address and a virtual office before your competition does.
Marvelous Melbourne
So where should Melbourne go next? By having a look at its features and characteristics, one may rightfully assume that it already has everything. Its multicultural society is affluent and educated enough to sustain various cultural industries on an exceptional level, with Melbourne being the center of Australian cinema and the training ground for world-class business education. But "less visible" industries secure an even solider ground for the economy. The billions of local dollars flowing through its port, its globally competitive financial profile or its renowned role in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals all pour funds into the city, which is ready to invest it into the continuous development and well-being of the inhabitants. It seems in place to say that the local society is up to any challenges, because if it wasn't so, its home state Victoria wouldn't have a bigger economy than Singapore, Hong Kong or many other states of Southeast Asia – a region which is also much closer to you if you opt for a virtual office in Marvelous Melbourne.
The unbeatable duo
If you see the rectangular shapes of the Sydney Opera House before your eyes when you hear the name of Australia, you may do rightly so. But don't forget that without Melbourne, Sydney would be a much less powerful constituent of the country's economy. This is one of the reasons why it's well worth to observe the financial, commercial and cultural prowess of the nation with the invincible power of two of its most populous cities in mind. Compared to the geographical area the two cities occupy, their economic influence over the country is 8 times higher, providing around 25% of the entire country's activities, and giving home to almost 50% of the population of this vast land. Of course, it is not only the local inhabitants that enrich the culture of the country, but people coming from all over the world, too. When it comes to the education, work and life of foreigners, Melbourne and Sydney are both well above other local cities in terms of demand, as these two bases can show up the best opportunities in schooling and on the job market. Luckily, you can have your very own postal address with us in both cities (and in other ones in Australia).
Your furthest dream in arm's reach
You always wanted to live or do business in Australia, but never dared to think of it as a possibility? Luckily, the facilities digitization provides are expanding as rapidly as Melbourne does. So, leave your dreams behind and make them reality. A Clevver virtual office in Melbourne will be the perfect place to start.
Reasons to have a virtual office in Melbourne
The solid ground of a successful country and a prosperous society
The proximity of other Australian cities, New Zealand and Southeast Asia
Perfect educational and working opportunities
A real street address with a postal mail digitization system

HomeMusic[Music]: AcebergTM "Bella" Audio And Video Out Now
[Music]: AcebergTM "Bella" Audio And Video Out Now
Africa's fast rising rapper and singer, Acebergtm has released new hit single 'Bella' off his latest EP- Far From Home. This is a quick follow-up to his trending song 'Danca" that has enjoyed massive playtime on various music music platforms.
Ikechukwu Okoronkwo, also known by his stage name, AcebergTM is a gifted rapper and singer. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, the second child in a family of 5 children, Acebergtm and his siblings, grew up listening to different music genres. Everyone had a different taste in music, so they would listen to all kind of songs, but his interests were mainly focused on Hip-hop and Rap genres with Wyclef Jean as his main artistes of choice.
He shared his early days experience brewed with his love for music. According to him –
"Growing up as a kid, music turned out to be my only escape from peer pressure and other vices which kids my age were involved in such as smoking and street fighting; I got a strong sense of peace and satisfaction every time I heard my favorite songs growing up. My interest grew even more as I got older, I wanted to write, sing, rap, perform just like my favorite artists I saw on tv" – Acebergtm
Acebergtm of SJW Entertainment present the much-anticipated EP titled "FAR FROM HOME" yesterday at the exclusive listening party and across all platforms today. This talented artiste keeps showing he is a born talent, with positive vibes, lyrics, and melody. This was evident on his tracks, jumping on super mad beats produced by ace music producers in the industry. The six (6) tracker showcases Acebergtm's unique talents in fusing his rap and singing skills to create incredible music.
From "Rockstar" to "Slow Wine" to the popular "Danca" to "Bella" to "What I like" to "Loyal", one fact is so evident that is, excellent fusion of a few trending genres and relatable lyrics. My favorite so far, "Slow wine", "Danca" and "Loyal" produced by Tempoe, Kel P and JFred, respectively. These are sages in the beats industry.
In 2019, he caught the attention of Sir Justine, CEO of Sir Justine World Entertainment Ltd (SJW Entertainment), who eventually signed him to the label in February 2020, marking the start of a new and promising path for the young artist. At the time of his joining the label, the label had other frontline acts such as Victor AD, and Peruzzi and he gained a lot as he worked with and watched these artists produce good music. He has worked with many other music producers including heavy weights such as Kel P, Phantom and Tempoe, WineXroll as well as JFred, Fredibeat, Oshobeats, Mcomms, Graydon and many more.
He dropped his first official single, "HEART BREAKER" under SJW Entertainment in July 2020, which currently has over 7 million streams across all digital platforms.

The Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekeweremadu, is currently at the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) where he is undergoing interrogation over allegations of fraud and money laundering.
A reliabls source at the commission confirmed to source that the deputy senate president arrived at their Abuja office earlier today, saying "he was invited for questioning".
The source also said Ekweremadu was still in EFCC custody as of the time of filing this report.
His arrest is coming barely a week after his residence in Apo, Abuja was besieged by Nigerian security operatives including the Police, Department of State Services (DSS) and EFCC thereby stopping him from attending the Senate plenary session where about 14 Senators from the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) decamped to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
On that day, the EFCC had issued an invitation letter dated July 24, the same day he was being asked to report to the anti-corruption agency office in Wuse II by 10am.
The EFFC letter dated July 24, 2018, with reference CR:3000/EFCC/DOPS/VOL 49/40 and signed by the Director of Operations, Mohammed Umar Abba, was titled: "Investigation Activities: Case of Conspiracy, Abuse of Office and Money Laundering".
It read: "This Commission is investigating the above mentioned case in which your name features prominently and the need to obtain certain clarification from you became imperative.
"This request is made pursuant to section 38 (I) of the Economic and Financial Crimes (Establishment) Act 2004.
