Ash from Taal volcano turns crops gray
Parts of the Philippines have turned gray after the Taal volcano spewed lava and ash into the sky this week. Nearly 44,000 people have fled the nine-mile danger zone around the volcano, as a massive eruption is expected.
The ash-fall that drifted from the volcano has damaged over $10.9 million worth of crops, the Department of Agriculture said, according to Reuters. Photos from the area show animals, plants, people and homes covered in the thick ash.

"We will not be able to harvest the pineapples that are already due for harvesting," he said. "We just have to accept that we will incur a loss. Even if we are able to harvest some pineapples, if customers are scared to come because of the eruption, the pineapples would just end up rotting."
The ash has also effected other farmers growing pineapples, bananas and coffee nearby, Reuters reports.

The ash is threatening more than just crops. People have been advised to wear masks to protect from the ash, but supplies of the face coverings were running out, even in the capital, Manila. The sprawling capital city is only about 50 miles north of the volcano.
Photos show animal carcass buried in ash and residents trying to save other animals, hoisting some into boats to get them to safety.

Our targets and cathodes made from titanium-aluminum (TiAl) ensure that drills, milling machines, indexable cutting inserts and other tools are protected by a hard, oxidation-resistant nitride coating (TiAlN).
High feed speeds, excellent cutting performance and impressive metal removal rates: not a problem for titanium-aluminum-based coatings. A coating of just one thousandth of a millimeter of our materials reliably protects your tools against wear and therefore extends their service life. TiAl targets and cathodes are also used for decorative coatings on electronic devices such as cellular phones, on spectacle frames or on the dials of luxury watches.
Our materials are applied using either the reactive magnetron sputtering method or arc evaporation and form in a nitrogen atmosphere a nitride hard material layer on the substrate.
Whatever the geometry - rotary or planar arc cathodes or planar sputtering targets: We can supply tailor-made targets that are perfect for your application.
High ductility. Long service life.
During the coating process, our sputtering targets and arc cathodes have to withstand a lot. The material at the edge of the target can be exposed to forces of up to one tonne during coating. Whereas brittle materials would break under the strain, the presence of the element aluminum makes our material particularly ductile. To guarantee the ductility of the TiAl targets, the aluminum must be extremely evenly distributed. That is why we mix our titanium-aluminum powder very carefully before compacting the material using a forming process. As a result, the microstructure of our materials is significantly more homogeneous and fine-grained than in materials produced using a melting process. The benefit to you of our powder metallurgical production process: particularly breakage-resistant, long-lived targets.
During the coating process, our targets and cathodes are exposed to high temperatures. However, our material doesn't feel the heat. Thanks to their aluminum content and high material density, our cathodes and targets offer particularly high thermal conductivity and can easily transfer the heat to a copper plate located behind them. If heat is allowed to build up, the target material is removed unevenly and droplets form on the surface of the tool coating. But because our targets keep their cool, a smoother coating is guaranteed.
Our optimum microstructure. Your perfect coating.
Coarse or fine metal powder? Forging, HIP or other axial forming methods? We vary and combine our different production processes to make sure that the coating you finally use is particularly smooth and fine. And in everything we do, we have one aim in mind: ensuring an optimum microstructure for our targets and cathodes. During coating, this means that significantly fewer droplets form on your product. The result: outstandingly smooth coating layers.
The purer the coating material, the better the quality of the hard material layer. From the very outset, we use only the finest powder which we mix in our own equipment to ensure outstanding material purity. We monitor every step - from the powder through to the finished product - and make sure that only targets with the specific guaranteed density, purity and a homogeneous microstructure are shipped from our factories.
Flawless quality from a single supplier.
As a leading manufacturer of sputtering targets, we perform every stage of the production process ourselves. From the mixing and compacting of the metal powder through to the forming, machining and bonding of our targets: including the development of new materials to optimize your coating processes and films. And naturally we also verify the quality of our targets using state-of-the-art measuring methods.
You want the perfect coating? We create it.
There's one thing we know perfectly well: In the PVD coating process, everything must fit together perfectly. Only through the perfect combination of high-quality sputtering targets and arc cathodes, coupled with carefully chosen process parameters, is it possible to create a coating that precisely meets your requirements. And this cooperation with our customers and numerous development institutes results in a constant flow of new coating materials.
Are you looking for the perfect coating? Take advantage of our long-standing experience and our extensive database of chemical compositions and production processes.
We have one more thing to add: We introduce additional elements to perfect our titanium-aluminium mix: To increase thermal stability, for example, we add niobium, tantalum, molybdenum or tungsten. Greater hardness is achieved by combining them with boron, while yttrium and hafnium provide better resistance against oxidation. The addition of silicon creates a finer microstructure and also increases the resistance against oxidation. We would be delighted to help you find the perfect material combination. Just contact us!
Oerlikon Balzers also relies on Plansee's targets and cathodes. This leading manufacturer of tool and component coatings achieves above-average coating performance thanks to the use of titanium-aluminium-based alloys. Standard coatings (in the chart "basic coatings") made from TiN or TiAlN are suitable for use in a vast range of sectors. And by introducing carefully chosen alloy elements, we can optimize the performance of the coatings ("alloyed coatings") for very specific applications.
We have something else for you.
Why not also test our aluminium-based targets and cathodes with integrated heat sinks? These are popular due to their even higher thermal conductivity and the stability they provide at the edge of the target. In these products, our aluminium heat sinks are directly connected to the target material.
You can also take a look at our targets and cathodes made from aluminium-chromium, chromium, titanium, zirconium, titanium-silicon, tungsten carbide and tungsten carbide.
Use of molybdenum makes Ti-Al-N coated tools even more wear resistant.

OBJECTIVE. We assessed the impact of a one-to-one fatigue management course on participants' fatigue, self-efficacy, quality of life, and energy conservation behaviors.
METHOD. This observational study used a one-group, pretest–posttest, follow-up design. Forty-nine people with chronic conditions and fatigue participated in the one-to-one fatigue management course in outpatient and community-based settings. The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy–Fatigue Scale was used to measure fatigue; the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–General measured quality of life; and the Self-Efficacy for Performing Energy Conservation Strategies Assessment was used to measure self-efficacy.
RESULTS. Participants showed significant reductions in fatigue and significant increases in self-efficacy and quality of life at posttest. These beneficial effects were maintained at follow-up. The Social Well-Being subscale was the only measure on which outcomes did not change significantly.
CONCLUSION. The one-to-one fatigue management course is a beneficial intervention for people with chronic conditions and fatigue.

Reese Witherspoon Shares The One Lesson She Learned After Getting Married At 23
Everyone should hear the advice she gave her daughter.
By Katie O'Malley
At just 41-years-old, Reese Witherspoon has reached some pretty staggering milestones in her life to date.
From winning an Oscar in 2006 for 'Best Actor' in Walk The Line and starring roles in blockbusters Wild and Legally Blonde, to starring in/producing Emmy Award-winning series Big Little Lies, the actress could retire from Hollywood right now and still be regarded as one of the film industry's greats.
But let's not forget she's also balanced her acting career with being a mother to three children, and got married at the age of 23 to Cruel Intentions co-star Ryan Phillippe — a decision she doesn't regret in the slightest, despite their split.
In an interview on Lorraine, Reese discussed her former husband - with whom she shares daughter Ava and son Deacon – and the lessons she's learned over the years when it comes to love and loss.
'I got married when I was 23 and had two kids by 27,' she revealed. 'Sometimes it's good to know yourself.'
The star married Phillippe in 1999 before the pair divorced seven years later. She then went on to marry talent agent Jim Toth in 2011 and welcomed their son, Tennessee, a year later.
Opening up about her first marriage, the Sweet Home Alabama star revealed: 'I would never change anything!'
With numerous television and radio appearances to promote her new film Home Again, which centres on a young mother who enjoys a relationship with a younger budding actor, the actress reflected on the project: 'It's about that next chapter in your life.
'What do you do when you get to 40 and you made a decision when you were 25 to get married and have kids?'
However, when it comes to passing on words of wisdom to her 18-year-old daughter about relationships, the star is keen to encourage her to prioritise the relationship to herself, first.
'I said to my daughter, at 25 you start to know yourself better,' she admitted.
We couldn't have put it better ourselves, Reese.

Marian Dale Scott was born in 1906 in Montréal, Québec. In 1917, she began taking classes under William Brymner and Alberta Cleland at the Art Association of Montréal. She spent three years at the École des Beaux-Arts, and the Monument National, under Edmond Dyonnet. She then attended London's Slade School of Art for just under a year, studying with Henry Tonks.
Scott's career spans over seventy-years, she worked as a painter, muralist, draughtswoman and commercial artist.
Her subjects varied from landscapes, urban scenes, figurative, florals, the cellular world, and abstraction. She also experimented with different styles throughout her artistic practice. She exhibited nationally.
In 1936, along with Norman Bethune and Fritz Brandtner, Scott began teaching at their newly established Children's Art Centre.
She also taught at St. George's School, at the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts, with Arthur Lismer, and at Macdonald College outside Montréal.
In 1941, Scott was commissioned to create a mural for the McGill University Faculty of Medicine. This work inspired a series of paintings that explored cellular forms and composition.
Scott was a founding member of the Contemporary Arts Society, and a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Canadian Group of Painters, Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and Conseil de la Peinture du Québec.
She was honoured with the Thomas More Institute's Purchase Award in 1967 and the Ontario Society of Artists' Baxter Purchase Award in 1969.

Complete Village Guide
Wildlife Trust
Four miles south west of Wetherby, at the heart of the so-called golden triangle of Wetherby, Harrogate and Leeds is the idyllic location of the Lower Wharfedale village of East Keswick.
This ancient Domesday Book village lies on a quiet country lane which meanders between Collingham and Shadwell. The community comprises some 1146 people, two pubs, two churches, a twice a week post office, village hall, hairdressers, beauty salon and butchers.
The village is a conservation area surrounded by rich farmland and numerous attractive walks. Its history has been chronicled in a highly acclaimed Millennium Book and probably uniquely, it enjoys its own Wildlife Trust which manages large tracts of local land.
In September 2001, it was awarded Best Village in North of England regional finals of the nationwide competition sponsored by Calor and the Daily Telegraph. Five years later, in the 'best of the best' competition, the village was the Northern Regional Winner.
On July 11th 2002, HM The Queen was driven through the village on her route from Harewood to Leeds and on St Valentine's Day 2003, HRH The Prince of Wales spent more than two hours visiting the village and meeting some of its residents. His Deputy Private Secretary wrote later 'The Prince of Wales has asked me to express to you just how much he enjoyed his visit to East Keswick. It is a remarkable village in every way and it gave him the greatest possible pleasure to visit it and to meet so many residents. The community spirit and sense of identity and belonging impressed him beyond measure'.

James Fell On CrossFit
Is It Time To Admit That CrossFit's Just Too Dangerous?
James Fell
CrossFit is everywhere these days, from the park near your home to your Facebook feed. But it's also been generating a lot of controversy. We decided to take a closer look at CrossFit and see for ourselves whether it's a fad — or for real. This is one writer's take... but it's not the only one we've offered up. Check out CrossFit Urban Workouts and A Beginner's Take On CrossFit.
. Pretty sure I'm never doing that.
I don't need what it gives. I don't need to fork out double my monthly beer allowance to truck out to a dilapidated warehouse in some remote part of the city to have a two-day trained "coach" yell at me in a room full of Kool-Aid drinkers encouraging reps to infinity in order to exercise to puking. I am perfectly capable of being my own cheerleader to achieve a sweat-out-my-spleen workout.
Years ago, I had a lower-back blowout, collapsing to the floor and emitting a sound akin to a raccoon, a pit bull and a teenager with Tourette's all trapped inside a metal garbage can. I'm 46, and I am breakable. Sure, I recently qualified for the Boston Marathon and have benched almost double my body weight. I can also ski off cliffs and sea kayak through four-foot swells, but I'm not putting my lumbar discs at risk if I can help it. CrossFit fans, let the butthurt flow through you…
Now that I have your attention, I'll tone it down a bit and lend some perspective. There are arguments for and against CrossFit, and because it's spreading like a cold in a kindergarten classroom, with over 10,000 affiliate gyms now open, plus the highly visible Reebok branding, it is garnering much attention in the media world. I've shared more than one humorous CrossFit video.
Yeah, the media is losing its collective sh*t over CrossFit, acting like it's trans fat, global warming and the high school bully all wrapped up into one shoulder-destroying, lumbar-bursting, kidney-evaporating package. If you look up CrossFit on Wikipedia, it even has a section entitled "Criticism."
In general, the criticisms fall into three major categories: the cultish nature of CrossFit, its efficacy — and injury rates. Allow me to explain.
CrossFit As A Cult
Here is a Fight Club paraphrasing meme: "The first rule of CrossFit is: Always talk about CrossFit." Who cares? I know some people who really dig CrossFit, and good for them. Far better to be passionate about your chosen activity than to grow roots while battling sexy ogres in World of Warcraft. I write a lot about my love of running/cycling/lifting/sea kayaking/skiing/Rush — seriously, CrossFit adherents are no more cult-like than Rush fans. If drinking the Kool-Aid gets people exercising, that's not a bad thing.
CrossFit has been criticized for not making people excellent at anything, but instead mediocre, or perhaps even good, at a lot of things. Apparently this qualifies the winner of the CrossFit Games to call themselves the fittest man/woman on earth. Whatever.
I wanted to get some help here, so I got in touch with Dr. Jonathan Fass, an expert in physical therapy and performance enhancement. "CrossFit does appear to be able to improve markers of health and fitness capacity," Fass told me. He also said it probably won't make someone better at football, power lifting, tennis or enable them to run a faster marathon. "In fairness, there are a few CrossFit programs that have shown up from time to time, such as CrossFit for Football or Crossfit for Distance Runners," Fass said. But he argues that a dedicated, activity-specific training program would be a better choice. I agree. When I wanted to qualify for Boston, I went to a running coach. Not CrossFit.
Overall, Dr. Fass says: "If you want to just be faster, stronger and more physically capable of doing a lot of varied things, which in my opinion is not a bad goal at all, CrossFit may be able to help you in that regard."

I have been a lot better recently with skincare and paying attention to my skin, rather than trying to fix it every now and then with face masks and treatments and it's really paying off. I have also been on project FINISH STUFF. Face creams I am not that keen on, I've been using as body lotion, for example.
Anyway, I am telling you this because the more older stuff I finish, the more newer stuff I can open up and start using. One range that has been loitering in my current 'in use' collection is this range from MEG 21.
MEG 21 products contain a patented Supplamine, a skincare ingredient with 'sugar blocking' technology and reverse the appearance of ageing skin within 14 days. Scientists for the brand discovered that the compound intervenes in the production ad availability of toxic sugars in the skin.
It's funny, when I think about sugar, I think about it damaging my teeth and making me fat. I don't think about the effects on my skin, but now that I know it can affect the skin, I am definitely making an effort to curb my sweet tooth. But I digress.
I tried a selection of products from the range.
The Smooth Radiance Advance Formula cream is used for the face and neck. You press the cap down and some product pumps out which I like – it's more hygienic then sticking your finger in the tub but you do have to remember to clean the pump area.
This is quite nourishing cream which I enjoyed using – no allergic reactions and my skin was well moisturised, and had an extra brightness to it. I didn't see results immediately, you have to stick with it for at least a month to see some difference. I think it's better suited for drier to normal skin types, I am not sure if it's too thick for oily skins.
The Eye Treatment is for brightening and firming. I am still using this currently and I am liking it – I have seen an improvement if tone around my eyes since using it – I am lazy with eye products as I don't have a ton of wrinkles around there but prevention is better than cure of course! So far I am enjoying this product – it sinks in fast and my entire eye area feels refreshed.
The hand cream is another quite thick textured cream – I am super lazy when it comes to hand cream! I shoudn't be as they say hands give away your age!
I found this one quite moisturising and it took a little while to sink in. When I remembered to use it it helped with my super dry cuticles and general hand health.
Overall this is a promising range – I didn't experience anything negative about it so it's a case of whether you want to try the Supplamine ingredient out for yourself!

Human remains pulled from the Indonesian Sriwijaya Air crash site
January 11, 2021 omarmallick	0 Comments
The Sriwijaya Air flight 182 — a Boeing 737-500 — was heading from Jakarta to the city of Pontianak, on the Indonesian side of Borneo, when it lost contact at 2:40 p.m. local time (2:40 a.m. ET), 11 nautical miles north of Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Four minutes into the flight, and amid heavy rains, the plane dropped 10,000 feet in less than a minute before disappearing from the radar, according to the global flight tracking service Flightradar24.
Five body bags containing victims of the crash located by the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) have so far been handed over to the disaster victim investigation unit in Jakarta for identification, according to mission coordinator Rasman MS.
Ten bags filled with wreckage and debris from the aircraft have now been handed to Jakarta-based air crash investigators, he said.
Indonesian Navy divers on Sunday found wreckage from flight SJY 182 after locating a signal from the aircraft's fuselage. Commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces, Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto, said that he is confident that the Navy Rigel Warship has located the plane's fuselage.
A command post set up at the Kramat Jati Police Hospital in Jakarta to identify the crash victims and search for family members was working to identify the remains, Tjahjanto said.
The focus of the search is between the islands of Laki and Lancang, known as the Thousand Islands chain, about 20 miles northwest of Jakarta. Some 28 ships, five helicopters and two airplanes have been deployed in a joint effort between the Indonesian Navy, Police, Coast Guard and Transportation Ministry. Navy official Abdul Rasyid said the Indonesian Navy has dispatched 10 ships to the surrounding waters off Laki Island and the Armed Forces chief will visit the search area Sunday morning.
On Saturday, Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) said it had found several pieces of debris believed to be from the missing plane but bad weather and poor visibility had hampered the search overnight.
The crash site was confirmed Sunday morning by the Indonesian National Armed Forces and Navy divers were deployed to search for the wreckage.
Divers retrieved pieces debris from the site that are the same color as the Sriwijaya Air aircraft, Air Chief Marshal Tjahjanto said at a press conference from the John Lie Warship.
A plane registration number, wheels from the landing gear and life vests have also been uncovered, Tjahjanto said, adding that visibility and conditions in the water were good, and the search for victims continues.
Meanwhile, National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) teams have begun an investigation into the cause of the crash.
"We sent two investigators with Indonesian Search and Rescue Agency to the sea to do a location survey. We need to find more information on the location, for example to determine what gear we are going to use regarding the underwater terrain we have," Suryanto Cahyono told CNN.
Investigators have also been sent to Air Traffic Control at the airport, the Meteorology Climatology and Geophysical Agency, and to Sriwijaya Airlines to gather information.
On Sunday, Indonesia President Joko Widodo offered his condolences and urged people to pray for crash victims.
"We will do our best to find and save the victims, and together, let's pray that they can be found," he said at the Presidential Palace, according to Reuters. "In the name of the government and Indonesian people we would like to express our condolences on what has happened."
Anxious family members wait for news
The missing plane was carrying 50 passengers — 43 adults and 7 children — as well as 12 crew members, according to Indonesia's Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi.
Family members have been gathering at the victim identification center in Jakarta, waiting for news of their loved ones.
A family of five are missing and feared dead, according to an aunt of the family who spoke to CNN. The family released a statement saying that the father, 26-year-old Rizki Wahyudi who worked for the Indonesian Forestry Commission, his 26-year-old wife Indah Halimah Putri, their 7-month-old son, as well as his mother and cousin, were on the flight that crashed.
Married couple Muhammad Nur Kholifatul Amin and his wife Agus Minarni, were also on board the crashed flight, according to the brother of one of the victims who spoke to CNN.
On Sunday, Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi extended his condolences for those who died in the incident.
Witnesses describe an explosion
Three fishermen from Lancang Island told CNN they heard an explosion and experienced a sudden large wave around the time the plane went missing.
"I heard very loud explosion. I thought it was a bomb or a big thunder. We then saw the big wave, about 2 meters high, hitting our boat," said Hendrik Mulyadi.
Hendrik's colleague, Solihin, described the sound as "a bomb on the water." They said it was dark and raining at the time.
The men said they didn't see a plane crash into the sea, but smelled fuel and spotted debris. The men said they returned to shore to report what they experienced to police.
The plane, registered PK CLC, was a 26-year-old Boeing 737-500, according to Flightradar24. Sriwijaya Airlines CEO Jefferson Irwin Jauwena said the plane was in good condition before it took off.
In a statement, Boeing said: "Our thoughts are with the crew, passengers, and their families. We are in contact with our airline customer and stand ready to support them during this difficult time."
Sriwijaya Air, a low-cost airline and Indonesia's third-largest carrier, transports more than 950,000 passengers per month from its Jakarta hub to 53 destinations within Indonesia and three regional countries, according to the company's website.
In June 2018, it was removed from the European Union's list of banned air carriers, 11 years after it was placed on that list.
A worrying record
This weekend's crash is the latest to rock Indonesia's burgeoning airline industry.
In October 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 crashed into the Java Sea in Indonesia after taking off from Jakarta, killing all 189 people on board. The Boeing 737 Max 8 plane was scheduled to make a one-hour journey to Pangkal Pinang on the island of Bangka.
The improper design and certification of the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft, coupled with an overwhelmed flight crew battling a malfunctioning system they could not properly identify, led to the crash, according to an October 2019 report by Indonesian authorities.
The Boeing 737-500 plane that crashed on Saturday, does not have the flawed cockpit software that contributed to two fatal crashes of the 737 MAX plane, Reuters reported.
In 2014, Indonesian AirAsia Flight 8501 claimed the lives of all 162 people on board after crashing into the Java Sea, while flying from Surabaya to Singapore.
And in the year before that, Lion Air was involved in two accidents. A Boeing 737 missed the runway on landing and crashed into the sea near Bali, forcing passengers to swim or wade to safety, while another Boeing 737 collided with a cow while touching down at Jalaluddin Airport in Gorontalo on the island of Sulawesi.
In 2007, the European Union banned all 51 Indonesian airlines from its airspace after a Garuda Indonesia plane with 140 people on board overshot the runway in Yogyakarta in March and burst into flames, killing 21 people on board.
Standards have since improved, with all Indonesian airlines cleared from that blacklist by June 2018.
Indonesia, an archipelago nation of more than 13,000 islands, has seen a boom in domestic aviation in recent years, with passenger traffic tripling between 2005 and 2017, according to Australian consultancy the CAPA-Center for Aviation.
The country of 270 million people rely heavily on air transport to commute between islands across the archipelago, which stretches over more than 3,000 miles, around the same distance between London and New York.
An earlier version of this story misstated the location of Pontianak. The city is in West Kalimantan, located on the Indonesian side of Borneo.
Jamaluddin Masrur reported from Jakarta. CNN's Lynn Franco, Kara Fox, and Angela Dewan contributed reporting.

The X-15 brought the old chauffeurs versus airmen dichotomy into the world of spaceflight and computerized control. It introduced changes in engineering practice and the role of the pilot that had significant personal, institutional, and technological connections with the Apollo program.
The black airplane had a radical appearance, but it was a logical, incremental step from the Bell X-1, consisting of a straight beam of a fuselage, short, stubby wings, a pilot up front and a rocket engine in the back. No fragile, crunchable airframe this: the entire aircraft was made out of a high-temperature alloy with the space-age moniker ''Iconel-X.'' Far from the sheet aluminum normally found on the skin of an aircraft, Iconel-X was heavy-duty stuff for building pressure vessels and turbine blades, not light, delicate airplanes. The important feature of Iconel-X was its high melting point, so it could withstand the extreme temperatures of hypersonic flight.
NACA administrator Dryden described the flight path of the X-15 as being ''like a fish leaping out of the water'' because of its unusual parabolic arc into space. A B-52 bomber, converted for research purposes, would fly the aircraft to a launch altitude slung under its wing like a parasite on the belly of a shark. At about forty-five thousand feet, the bomber would drop the vehicle;a few seconds later (and a few hundred feet below) the pilot would start the engine, rapidly leaving the host behind. After accelerating to supersonic speeds, the pilot would pitch up and fly nearly straight up, passing out of the atmosphere into space. After just a minute or two, the rocket would cut off, and the vehicle would zoom up on a parabolic trajectory (figures 3.1 and 3.2).
reentry. After a series of turns and maneuvers to bleed off speed, the pilot brought the machine in for a ''dead stick'' (with no power) landing at Edwards (or another of the many lake beds around California and Nevada if something had gone wrong). The whole flight, from the drop of the B-52 to the landing, lasted barely ten minutes. Still, it was expensive, requiring an array of chase planes, rescue craft, and support helicopters.
The whole sequence was tracked and observed from a network of antennas and tracking stations dotted throughout the West. Known as the ''high range,'' the network continuously logged the aircraft's position and speed and downloaded measurements from the vehicle itself. A master control station at Edwards coordinated all the data and plotted it on paper for engineers to monitor in real-time.8 During the flight, the pilot was constantly in touch with engineers and flight controllers on the ground. A few years later, when NASA built a global network of stations to track the Mercury spacecraft as it orbited the earth, it explicitly modeled it on the X-15's high range, as well as on the X-15's ground-control protocols.
Yeager's original supersonic flights had been shrouded in secrecy;the X-planes of the 1950s, and initially the X-15, were not secret, but were the comparatively esoteric stuff of high-speed flight research. That changed in 1957, when the government and the public panicked in response to Russia's successful Sputnik launch. Suddenly, the X-15 assumed a new prominence as the sole U.S. endeavor to send men into space. For a brief period it became the darling of the press, hailed as a savior, the only American project that even had a hope of putting people in space.
In October 1958 NASA came into being and North American first rolled out the X-15, with Vice President Richard Nixon in attendance at Edwards. In September 1959 it flew under its own power for the first time, achieving Mach 6 and higher than 200,000 feet by the end of 1961. The X-15 flew until 1969, so the program experienced several different phases, the later ones obscured by the glare of Apollo. But when it first flew in 1959 it was the leading manned aerospace project in the country, pushing the envelope for human control.

North Whitehall barn destroyed in fire
PUBLISHED: May 28, 2015 at 1:49 a.m. | UPDATED: June 16, 2018 at 10:41 p.m.
A 165-year-old North Whitehall Township barn was destroyed in a fire early Wednesday.
Keith Grim of the 2800 block of Willow Street said he woke to the sound of a neighbor "screaming fire, fire, fire," and went to his front door.
He could see the barn across the street fully engulfed in flames and the front of his house was hot, he said.
Schnecksville fire Chief Ron Stahley said passers-by reported the fire, and firefighters were dispatched at 4:53 a.m. Residents said fire engines arrived on scene quickly, but the barn at the corner of Willow Street and Mauch Chunk Road already was engulfed in flames.
Stahley said he requested a second alarm to provide more manpower, and firefighters worked to extinguish the fire from outside the hay-filled barn. Stahley said firefighters would remain on scene for several hours to ensure the hay didn't reignite while a backhoe demolished the walls of the building.
A farmhouse across the street from the barn originally was part of the same property, according to Grim, who has lived in his home for 40 years. A stone placard near the apex of the roof of the farmhouse says it was built in the 1800s. County records indicate the farmhouse was built in 1850.

URGENT EBOLA WARNING !!!
Kuba Szymanski, August 8, 2014 August 8, 2014
InterManager has urged its members to heed guidance, issued this week by three global shipping organisations, on the risks posed to ships' crews calling in countries affected by the Ebola virus.
Advice from the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), International Maritime Employers' Council (IMEC), and the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) urgently warns that on all such vessels:
The Master should ensure crew are aware of the risks, how the virus can be spread and how to reduce the risk
The ISPS requirements on ensuring unauthorised personnel do not board the vessel should be strictly enforced throughout the duration of the vessel in port
The Master should give careful consideration to granting any shore leave while in impacted ports
The shipowner/operator should avoid making crew changes in the ports of affected countries
After departure, crew should be aware of Ebola symptoms and report any occurring symptoms immediately to the person in charge of medical care
The advice is supplemented with information from the World Health Organization on the virus (available here)
Already the Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA) has suspended the deployment of new Overseas Filipino Workers to Ebola-hit countries and is also implementing a "no shore leave" policy for Filipino seafarers passing through West African countries affected by Ebola virus.
InterManager President Gerardo Borromeo urged ship operators to remain vigilant. "Ship managers should put in place sensible precautions to reduce the risks as much as possible," he said. "Restricting shore leave when in affected areas such as West Africa, and ensuring that any necessary visitors observe effective sanitization practices, such as the use of disinfectant hand washes, and personal protective equipment are sensible measures which should be taken.
"Overall vigilance at the end of the day may help mitigate some of the major risks."

InterManager Urges Vigilance During Ebola OutbreakSeacurus Top Ten Daily News Stories 11/08/2014


This is the video of my first proper trip out in the van, sleeping in it overnight and actually using it as a campervan. I went to visit Nick Twinney (aka "Shevanigans" on YouTube) who lives near Swansea, and he took me for a tour around the Gower which is where my father grew up and that side of my family is from. We visited Rhossili, Langland, Rotherslade and the Mumbles and I saw where my grandmother used to have a small chandlery which we visited many times when I was a child.
The campsite I stayed at was at Horton; it was OK though very blustery being right on the coast and the shower stalls, though clean, had nowhere sensible to put your clean clothes so they they'd stay dry while you shower! Weirdly, despite the site being practically empty (mid October), they chose to site me right next to a motorhome, which I'mm sure I disturbed when I left at 8am the following day.

Published on May 04, 2016.
The project, for which YouTube has already overhauled its technical architecture, is one of the online video giant's biggest priorities and is slated to debut as soon as 2017, one of the people said. YouTube executives have discussed these plans with most major media companies, including Comcast Corp.'s NBC Universal, Viacom, Twenty-First Century Fox and CBS Corp., but have yet to secure any rights, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private.
YouTube, a unit of Alphabet's main Google internet business, is pursuing subscriptions for premium video to compliment the largest ad-supported video site in the world. YouTube introduced its first paid subscription service, Red, last fall. Unplugged would bring more premium content onto YouTube's web service and mobile apps, grabbing more viewing time and generating more non-advertising revenue.
YouTube has been working on an online cable package since at least 2012, one of the people said, but these plans have taken on new urgency in the past few months. Christian Oestlien and Jonathan Zepp are among top YouTube executives working on Unplugged, the people added. Apple and Amazon are working on similar proposals, while Dish Network and Sony have already introduced online TV services.
YouTube's interest in a live TV package has been reported in the past, but this the first time the name and details of the plan have emerged. YouTube declined to comment.
"We aim to provide more choice to YouTube fans -- more ways for them to engage with creators and each other, and more ways for them to get great content," Sundar Pichai, Google's chief executive officer, wrote in an letter to Alphabet shareholders last week. "We've started down this journey with specialized apps like YouTube Kids, as well as through our YouTube Red subscription service."
Like Apple, YouTube has struggled to secure all the channels it wants at a desirable price. YouTube wants to sell a package for less than $35 a month, the people said, but large media companies expect new providers to pay more per channel than existing partners Comcast and AT&T.
"CBS is essential to any skinny bundle," CBS CEO Leslie Moonves said at the company's investor day in March, adding that the company would net "more dollars per subscriber than the current larger bundle."
With the number of subscribers in decline for cable channels such as Walt Disney Co.'s ESPN, Time Warner Inc.'s TNT and Viacom's MTV, media companies are hoping skinny bundles can bring back customers, especially young ones.
"There is a strong consumer demand for the skinny bundle of 15 channels to 30 channels," Mr. Moonves said. "Many viewers would rather pay for only those channels they actually watch. "
With tech companies placing more emphasis on TV, and media companies looking for new distribution, executives are more optimistic about concluding negotiations, the people said. While executives at Disney had previously been wary of skinny bundles, demanding caps on the number of subscribers any such service could have, CEO Bob Iger has since said it is important for its ESPN sports channel to be in these packages no matter the number of customers.

At some point in a man's life, the chances are pretty good he's going to receive an invite to a black tie event. Whether it's a wedding, a charity ball, or the Oscars, a black tie event calls for a tuxedo, preferably one that makes a man stand out in a good way. Up to this point, men have been left with one of two options: Drop hundreds of dollars on a tuxedo they may not ever wear (or fit into) again or swing by the rental shop in the strip mall in town for an ill-fitting and unflattering suit.
Fortunately, thanks to the men behind Black Tux (www.theblacktux.com), men everywhere now have a go-to option for rental formal wear. Based in Los Angeles, the company offers just three styles of slim (non-polyester) suits, two types of shirts, and bow ties in select colors. Suits rent for between $95 and $120 and a shirt is just $15. Need shoes? The site has pairs available for $20.
Founded by Patrick Coyne and Andrew Blackmon, the site doesn't charge for return postage or require the suits be dry-cleaned before they are shipped back. So how does it work? It's pretty simple, really. Men in need of a rental suit submit their measurements online (a local tailor can assist with this part) and the ensemble arrives a week before the event. If the suit doesn't look or fit perfectly, the company will send out a new one immediately.
Wedding just around the corner? Now that the suit is taken care of, it's time to turn your attention to a few of the million other details to work out before the big day. Are you in need of wedding decorations, a photographer, caterer, limo, or other accessories? Rent It Today can help! The most comprehensive rental resource online, RIT can help connect you with rental providers of anything you need to make your special day more memorable. For more information, visit www.rentittoday.com!
