AET Scholarship Programmes
Supporting CFE
© 2019 Club Financiero Español, City of London
Advanced Education Trust Scholarships
The Advanced Education Trust scholarships are widely known as the Club Financiero Español Scholarships.
Club Financiero Español Scholarships are opened to PhD students of intellectual excellence and impeccable moral standing who have secured a position at one of the Club's partnering universities (The London School of Economics and Political Sciences, the University of Cambridge, and the University College London) .
Additionally, the Advanced Education Trust Scholarships are also opened to students from other Leading British Universities in the field of Social Sciences such as The London Business School, and The University of Oxford.
Candidates with an extensive international background, with an interest in the economic affairs and sustainable development of Spain, and that share the Club's values, are encouraged to apply for the Scholarships.
Candidates must submit the Scholarship Programme Application Form, which will then be reviewed by the Scholarship Programme Committee. The candidate is expected to make himself/herself available for an interview or series of interviews (or conference call/s otherwise) with no less than 3 of the Club's Trustees.
Successful candidates and the Club
Successful candidates are expected to keep a very close relationship with the Advanced Education Trust, the Club and its Fellows during their studies (and attend and participate, when possible, in the events organised by the Club through the year). During the Charity's Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the fourth quarter of every year, all PhD students enrolled in the Scholarship Programme are also expected to deliver a 30-minute presentation to the Club's members on the progress and nature their work, which will be followed by a Q&A session.
Upon Graduation - Welcome of a New Fellow
Upon graduation, the PhD student will become a permanent "Fellow" of the Club. Membership to the Club carries all the rights and the responsibilities attached to it. It is therefore expected from all our graduating scholars (now Fellows) that they keep on promoting the Club's values and help supporting the future generations of global economic leaders.
For further information, please do not hesitate to contact the Club on scholarships@cfe.london.


A robust library of video lectures keeps busy students engaged.
Dr. James Craig is a professor in the University of Maryland School of Dentistry's Division of Dental Public Health and a consultant in the use of educational technology.
There is an easy way to attract students to your program: Don't make them go to class.
For nearly a decade, the University of Maryland School of Dentistry has captured all of our faculty's lectures on video and has made them available to students 24 hours a day via an online portal.
Students can watch and rewatch the content when needed, allowing them to learn at their own pace and create a schedule that adjusts to the demands of their busy lifestyles. In a recent survey of students, 92 percent told us they liked the fact that there was no attendance requirement for such classes, while 96 percent said the video content made it easier to learn the material.
Each of the dental school's lecture halls is equipped with three-chip cameras in the front and back of the room. Each room also has a smart podium that includes tablet controls and a headset microphone, along with annotation features to highlight specific items in the course material.
Students can attend classes in person (which is mandatory when a guest speaker is lecturing), stream lectures live from an Internet-connected computer or simply watch a lecture at a later time.
Our research has found that most students watch the videos a few days after the lecture occurs. Although the times vary, lectures are viewed primarily during evening hours. We've also found that offering video lectures helps to recruit students to our program (69 percent of students said the option attracted them to the school) and helps to retain them once they're enrolled. In total, our videos have been viewed nearly 1 million times.
Our lecturers also leave an indelible impression on our students' coursework: Ninety-four percent expressed interest in retaining access to the videos and materials after graduation, to refresh themselves on specific content and lessons as needed and to stay connected to the school.
With in-state tuition costing more than $100,000 over the four years leading to a DDS degree, keeping students in the program and providing them with the tools they need to succeed is crucial to our success.
On the first day a student is officially enrolled in the dental school, he or she receives access to our entire library of captured lectures, from introductory science classes to more complex classes offered typically to second-, third- and fourth-year dental students.
The library includes four years' worth of lectures, although we find that most students will search out the most recent lecture on a topic when reviewing material. By allowing students access to the videos at any time, they are empowered to take greater control of their educational experience.
Students who have young children can watch lectures after their children go to bed. Early risers can review a video at 6 a.m. Students who are studying for a test can focus on one class until the exam, then catch up on missed classes in other subjects. The added options provide students with a schedule that works for them.
It is naive to think that students will retain everything they need to know from listening to a lecture just once. Offered the ability to replay the lessons, students gain a better understanding of the material and can review portions that they missed or did not fully understand the first time around. This is particularly helpful for students who need special accommodations or for whom English is a second language.
Our curriculum includes a large number of medical and pharmaceutical terms that can be complex and difficult to understand. The ability to review lectures, many times over, is crucial to understanding.
Students are not the only beneficiaries of our video program. Professors who find they cannot teach a certain day's class in person can record the lecture and post it online for students to watch when they are ready.
Professors can also review the footage themselves to see where they might improve in their delivery, or determine whether they are missing a crucial part of the lesson.
The road to becoming a dentist, of course, must include hands-on education as well. Our students take lessons in a facility that simulates what the practice of dentistry will be like once they begin their general practice work.
Lab lecturers can record demonstrations of their classwork and have it played at each student's station. The professor can then walk through the class, providing more detailed instruction or fixing student mistakes.
Perhaps the greatest hurdle for us was setting an attendance policy in which class attendance was not mandatory. At first, we had no such policy, which led to confusion for both the students and the professors as to what was acceptable.
It's also important to communicate the value of any video program to staff, who are likely accustomed to teaching a roomful of students and may be shocked at first to deliver a lecture before just a handful. Promoting the benefits to them is key to starting a great video lecture capture program.


One of the most widely celebrated festivals of the Hindus, Navratri, is celebrated in India and various other parts of the world, to pay reverence to the nine manifestations of Goddess Durga. The 9 day long festivities come to an end on Navami (Day 9), which falls one day after Ashtami (Day 8). This year, the Ashtami and Ram Navami will fall on the same day, that is April 4, 2017.
Goddess Mahagauri is the eighth manifestation of Goddess Durga, who came into existence when Goddess Parvati devoted herself to Lord Shiva, and underwent a deep meditation to marry him. Pleased with her unswerving devotion, Lord Shiva sprinkled Holy Ganga jal on her which took off all dust from her body and she glowed milky white, thus earning the name MahaGauri. She represents the calm, serene and pure manifestation of Goddess Durga. Dressed in a white saree, she mounts a bull, and radiates a peaceful aura. She is the bestower of inner peace, and eliminates all kinds of sufferings from the life of her devotees.
The Navratri Day 8, so people celebrate it with glee. Puja is performed according to the specified rituals and people pray to Goddess Durga to grant their wishes and end their sufferings of the mundane world. Kanya Pujan is done to pay respect to the feminine deity. One can utilize this auspicious day to appease Goddess Durga and ensure a bright life for themselves with her blessings.
The ninth day of Navratri has another noteworthy facet. It celebrates the birth of the seventh incarnation of Lord vishnu, Lord Rama, and hence cleped Ram Navami. Lord Rama, also known as Maryada Purushottama, was the human Avatar, who demolished the evil demon king Ravana, and rescued his wife. Being a human with high moral virtues, Lord Rama is venerated by devotees with unswerving zeal and devotion. People observe fast, visit Ram Mandir (temple), recite Ramayana and perform puja rituals, to be bestowed with the divine favour of Lord Rama on Ramanavami.
We wish you a very happy Navratri, and hope that all your efforts during this Navratri prove fruitful and you enjoy the divine blessings of Goddess Durga.

Q: Microsoft VS-Code and or Autohotkey questions Automatic tagging How can I achieve this either using VS-Code of Autohotkey?
I am a Text books / Magazine books encoder and I'm using VS-Code (as my Notepad when typing). I am on a certain project which consists of tags for different book codes.
Sample TextFile:
"One of the greatest books in history of children's pilgrims is Dudafoss, but the favorite are Belkins stories".
The thing I want to find solution is like - everytime I type a certain text in VS-Code, there should be a corresponding tag to appear right beside it, ie:
1.)
when I type Dudafoss - (19084471) should appear right beside it.
when I type Belkins - (19042248) should appear right beside it.
So, the result should look like:
One of the greatest books in history of children's pilgrims is Dudafoss (19084471), but the favorite is Belkins (19042248) stories.
Search and Replace isn't a good solution, because there is a couple thousand tags (listed in my separate notepad)
Is it achievable in VS-Code, is there a function there that can do this? If not, how to write a simple Autohotkey code that can accomplished that?
Thanks, Marie
Additional Info: By the way, the Tagging file is already in Excel (Columns B and E).
Column B: Texts
Column E: Tags
Thanks.

A: Copy Column B in a new text document (Texts.txt) on your desktop,
Column E in another one (Tags.txt)
and run this AHK code:
FileAppend, #Hotstring b0 *`n`n, %A_Desktop%\My Hotstrings.ahk

Loop, read, %A_Desktop%\Texts.txt

Barlow and Peterson smart choices
By Sydney Mayhew
The San Francisco 49ers locked up their most prestigious football player in All Pro linebacker Julian Peterson by placing their "exclusive franchise" tag on him. Julian Peterson had a breakout career year this year as he achieved being a two-time Pro Bowler and was the winner of the Len Eshmont award in a vote by his teammates.
He is the first linebacker on the team to win the award since 1984 when Keena Turner picked up the honor. This award was established in 1957 and is given to the most inspirational and courageous player, an award that Julian earned with hard work and focused intensity.
When you think about the San Francisco 49er defense in the last few years, linebacker Julian Peterson instantly comes to my mind. He was the forefront of our defensive attack in many ways and defensive coordinator Jim Mora used Julian in a variety of formations and schemes.
In fact Jim Mora will tell you himself that he believes Julian Peterson is in the same mold as veteran superstar Ray Lewis in terms of determination and work ethic. I would have to concur with this from my own observations and let the statistics do the talking.
Julian Peterson this year was a powerhouse and proved it on the field with his intense style of play. He recorded 144 tackles, seven sacks, three forced fumbles, 14 passes defended, two interceptions and one fumble recovery on just this season. There were a few games on the season where he recorded tackle highs of 12, one against the Chicago Bears and against the former Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
I can also remember Julian vividly in games like the one against St. Louis where he displayed a series of plays in eight tackles, a forced fumble and take this two sacks on Rams quarterback Marc Bulger. In the second game against St. Louis he recorded another sack and had three passes defended and batted down a fourth-down pass on the 49er five-yard line.
These are some of the plays I can remember Julian by this last season and so many more. In all perspectives Julian outdid himself in more ways than one this year. He played his heart out in the final year of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers desiring to cash in on the big money pot at the end of the season.
Every player that enters the NFL from college wants to achieve that milestone in their careers when they reach the final year of their first contract and have budded into a superstar that equals pay dirt in the form of multi-million dollar contracts.
Right after the final game of the season against the Seattle Seahawks, General Manager Terry Donahue made a general statement that indicated the team's intentions involving Julian Peterson. It set off a controversy throughout the off-season in regards to who deserved to be signed first Terrell Owens or Julian Peterson. Almost all 49er fans agreed that Julian should be the priority but there still remained some that continued to feel that Terrell Owens shouldn't be allowed to get away.
"I think we'll get a deal done," Donahue said. "If we don't, I'll be proved wrong. But I expect him to be back on the team."
What complicated the negotiation process and still continues to be that the Washington Redskins resigned their most prestigious linebacker in LaVar Arrington to an eight-year, $68 million dollar contract. This raised the bar very high for the salary- capped 49ers to formulate a reasonable offer of their own.
49ers General Manager Terry Donahue reiterated that he didn't think Arrington's contract should be a template for resigning Peterson, indicating that the team was not about to match the bonanza contract bestowed upon LaVar Arrington.
"LaVar Arrington is very different; it is easy to say, Well, LaVar got this, so Julian Peterson should get it," Donahue said. "They don't play the same position. They both play linebacker, but they don't play the same linebacker position. One (Arrington) has been (chosen for) the Pro Bowl three times; one (Peterson) has been two. One may have more of an injury history than the other. I don't know."
In other words this play the war of defensive posturing based upon the size of a contract the Redskins are willing to give their top man and the fact that 49er owner Dr. John York will be very reluctant to match this sizable offer because of his belief in fiscal restraint and doing more with less.
Julian Peterson has indicated he doesn't want to play football forever. He made this clear to several media interviews and wants to go into this next contract as being potentially his last one. He wants a six or seven year deal and that he is only interested in being treated fairly and is willing to give his all to the team that will have him. The San Francisco 49ers are the top choice in his mind as they are the suitors of choice based upon their willingness to draft him.
"I'm a pretty loyal guy," said Peterson, drafted in the first round (16th overall) in 2000 by the 49ers. "This is obviously my first choice because they were the first team to really look at me and grab me."
Placing the franchise tag on Julian Peterson, as the two parties remain very far apart on an extended contract was the smart choice to do. We at least have Julian through 2004 and in that time will have enough wiggle room to pursue talks again in regards to getting him an extension.
Julian's agent has been tough to deal with because of the Washington Redskins contract deal with their own LaVar Arrington in the form of an eight-year nearly $80 million with incentive and a $20 million signing bonus to boot.
What San Francisco will be accountable for in slapping the franchise tag on Julian is paying him a projected cost of $5.8 and $7.2 million based upon the top salary for linebackers in the league at the present. Both of his teammates in linebackers Derek Smith and Jeff Ulbrich have nothing but high praises for him and hope that a long- term deal is eventually reached with Julian.
"He's a crucial part of our defense," 49ers linebacker Derek Smith said of Peterson. "He can change the game for you. He makes the big plays and gets the crowd behind the team. He is a fun guy to play with and a good person on and off the field. I really hope they can work things out."
Some wonder exactly how Julian Peterson will be used this next season under a new defensive coordinator in Wily Robinson, a former Pittsburgh assistant and long time associate of coach Dennis Erickson. He comes to the 49ers with a lot of experience and with a proven track record in formulating a great defense like the one present in Pittsburgh. Julian Peterson is looking forward to getting in the trenches and working with his new boss.
"All I've known for four years is Jim Mora, but it was a great opportunity for him," Peterson said. "I think (Robinson) will probably do a great job, once he looks at our personnel and the things we can do."
"I would like to see what his thought process is. I'm pretty sure when he knows the talent of the linebackers we've got, he'll use a lot of linebacker sets and stuff like we've been doing. I'm looking forward to sitting down and talking with him."
What the 49ers did with Julian Peterson was unbelievable in some ways. With injuries riddling the secondary as they have for two straight years, Julian was used in almost every conceivable position and he executed that game plan with great precision every time he was called upon to do so.
He was used over the course of his four years with the 49ers in almost every position on defense. In one game last season, he lined up as a linebacker, a defensive end, a cornerback and a safety. It has been out of necessity sometimes and out of confusing their opponents on many others.
"Jim didn't want me to be just an everyday linebacker," Peterson said. "He wanted me to be an every-down player, one of the best players in the league. By him letting me play all these different positions in all these different ways, I just feel like I can't ever be counted out."
So as you can see we set the bar high for Julian Peterson and what was so remarkable about it is that he achieved everything we set out for him. The franchise tag almost is like a badge of honor in some ways as it recognizes the team's best player and that the team will be committed to reaching an agreement in the future.
To other athletes it is a disgrace and a nuisance as it prohibits an individual from obtaining the fast cash they know they can get by going into free agency and landing a big money contract right away. Reasons the 49ers can't reach an agreement with Peterson's agent Kevin Poston, is that he is asking for guaranteed money in excess of $20 million, which is far more than the 49ers are willing to pay.
With the franchise tag they lock up Peterson and pay him the equivalent of what the top linebackers make in salary terms for the 2004 season. Under the rules of the franchise tag, the 49ers can match any offer from another team, and if Peterson still leaves, they in turn receive two first round draft choices in compensation.
The signing bonus is something that has been indicated as a sticking point with the negotiations between Poston and the 49ers. Poston also represents Washington Redskin linebacker LaVar Arrington and is in the running for obtaining Peterson a contract as close to Arrington's numbers as possible.
When you look at what Arrington accomplished in 2003 he made 88 tackles, six sacks and zero interceptions. Julian Peterson's statistics far exceeded Arrington's this year so reasonably you'd ask yourself he deserves a similar contract for accomplishing more. But the Poston brothers (Kevin and Carl) are notorious for seeking big money contracts for their clients.
Several of their clients have even refused to report to training camp pending contract resolution. Julian Peterson represented by Kevin Poston poises a big problem for the 49ers front office in these heated negotiations.
Meanwhile the negotiations will continue with Julian Peterson's agent Kevin Poston. Terry Donahue has made it known that they want a deal to be done but won't hesitate to remain with the franchise tag and follow its rules for the season. In return Peterson will be paid a salary based upon the five highest paid linebackers in the NFL today and that will be averaged to determine his annual salary should a contract not be stricken.
"We made that decision over a long period of time trying to negotiate with his agents," Donahue said. "We feel like we've made him a very competitive offer that puts him in a linebacker category with Brian Urlacher, Derrick Brooks and LaVar Arrington. We're very hopeful that we can get a long term deal done and we'll keep working towards that."
Saving the franchise tag for Julian Peterson was a no brain decision. Had we been able to get a deal done we might have been able to use the tag on someone else such as Terrell Owens. But all indications point to Owens leaving and wanting to leave by his own accord sooner rather than later, because he has displayed displeasure for all that San Francisco is.
I feel Terrell Owens is a tremendously gifted athlete one that wants to win and has an edge over so many others. Facing him as an opponent will be a scary proposition, as we have no one in our secondary that can cover him effectively one on one. I do not regret his services over the eight years he's been with us, only the insults and camera incidents that isolated him as being the sole reason for the team winning and unaccountable in losing.
The San Francisco 49ers took further positive steps in working out a long-term deal with restricted free agent running back Kevan Barlow. Kevan Barlow came to terms with the 49ers on a five-year, $20 million dollar contract that includes $8 million in guaranteed money, league sources indicate. His contract includes a $1.5 million signing bonus, with $6.5 million option bonus. He will earn $10 million over the first two years of the deal.
Before this deal was disclosed the most the 49ers were expected to do for Barlow as a restricted free agent was to tender him an offer at $1.8 million for the 2004 season to ensure that they would receive first and third round draft picks as compensation if he went to another team.
There was at some point some speculation that the New England Patriots were seriously considering Kevan Barlow for their ground attack that features no clear definitive leader as a main running back. Barlow's agent Mike Sullivan noticed the level of sincerity that the 49ers were showing in keeping Kevan around and asked Kevan point blank if he desired to remain in San Francisco. Kevan quickly responded with a yes and entrusted Sullivan to begin the negotiations process on an extension.
In actuality the deal for five years saves the 49ers almost $1 million towards the 2004 salary cap. His contract also doesn't call for any voidable years, which are relevant considering contracts of some other 49er players. Barlow rushed for 1,024 yards last season despite only making four starts.
In fact he rushed for 433-yards and four touchdowns in the last four games of the season. Barlow averaged 109-yards per game with a 5.4-yard average per rush. He also honed in on his receiving abilities with 18 receptions for 160-yards and one touchdown. When I remember Kevan Barlow last season one game comes to mind in the revenge game against the Arizona Cardinals.
In that game he rushed for a career-high 154-yards on 18 attempts, including a 46-yard touchdown run. Kevan Barlow now will be the featured back in our running game as desired by head coach Dennis Erickson. He accomplished his durability and fumbling questions by starting all four games that Garrison Hearst remained out due to injury.
For the 11-year veteran in Garrison Hearst it spells the end of the road unless he's willing to restructure a contract that he'll make $2.5 million on this year. The 49ers are not expected to pay that for a back-up running back even though it is Garrison Hearst.
Discussions with Hearst's agent Pat Dye Jr. are still under way on restructuring his contract. It is something that will be another bitter pill for Hearst to swallow. It is rumored that former head coach Steve Mariucci would be very interested in obtaining Garrison Hearst's running abilities for the Detroit Lions. His options are many at this point and he'll have to do some soul searching on where he chooses to end his career.
"We're hopeful that there's a possibility that we can get to where we're comfortable and Garrison's comfortable, and he'll remain with the team," Donahue said. 'Obviously we've made a long-term commitment to Kevan, but we have high regard for Garrison and what he means to this team."
I cannot say enough of what Garrison Hearst has brought to this team and of course what the team has done for him during his long battle against all odds in returning to the field because of a rare ankle condition.
Garrison has been a real factor in many years in being the explosive running back this team needed to carry the offense. He also realizes that the team has been patient and kind enough to allow him to heal and make the comeback he always had on his mind and made it a reality.
I hope he can come to the conclusion that being a back up in this part of his career is not necessarily a bad thing, but I also can understand that he still has two to three good years left in him as a featured back. His leaving would be a real loss that the team would all feel in one form or another, mainly because of what he brings to the locker room and what he does out on that field.
Meanwhile we know that Kevan Barlow is the future and that embracing that with this contract extension was the right thing to do. He has proven to be reliable and durable enough to withstand the rigors of an NFL season. Sure there are comparisons to Hearst we can still see he's flawed in and we can see that fumbling the ball still gives us worry.
But the point is made that improvements have been made on all these fronts in regards to Kevan Barlow. He publicly stated his desire to stay in San Francisco and for that honesty and sincerity I must say I'm proud we could accommodate that for him.
"We certainly see him as a very integral part of our future and certainly see him as a young ascending player. He started four games last year and rushed for over 1,000-yards and is a player who we think can be an extremely productive player throughout the next five years of his NFL career," Donahue said. "We definitely see him as part of the core of the team that we want to put together to try and win a world championship with and we think that he is a very talented player and can become one of the top 10 running backs in this league."
What is very well known is Kevan Barlow's itching for more playing time. He saw the injury to Garrison Hearst late in the season as an opportunity to prove him as the future starter and he impressed enough people to land this contract.
He remains obligated to Garrison Hearst for all that he has learned over the last two years and attributes his success to Garrison Hearst and his teachings and watching his remarkable performances on and off the field.
"I'm ready for that. I think I've shown what I can do," he said. 'I'm ready to come in and dedicate myself to working out. My first two years I was in a comfort zone knowing I was splitting time with Garrison. Now I'm ready for more."
Still there remains many a free agent on the list that seem to be eyeing the door. I cannot say I'm happy with the state that the team is in. Obviously this will be a tough year to recover from should we not be able to convince more of our 14 free agents to stay. One thing is for certain this team will have a major facelift in personnel and new coaches.
Putting this all together and getting it to work will be difficult and daunting in my opinion. We will have to examine every angle for us to make the correct decisions come draft weekend. We will also have to handle the real scenario of struggling to reach .500 again considering that so much of what was drafted since 1999 will be gone and keeping veterans will be an expensive thought Dr. John York will want to forget.
I applaud the decisions on Kevan Barlow and Julian Peterson, not everything with our organization is all bad. If we can become fiscally responsible and get things in order in cleaning out the cobwebs of dead money players, we will be able to move ahead and stockpile the talent and energy that can propel us to the post-season again.

Senior leader of the UCPN (Maoist) Baburam Bhattarai said the opposition alliance will not sit for talks with the ruling parties until and unless they withdraw the majoritarian process.
Speaking at an interaction organized by Reporters Club at the UCPN (Maoist) party office in Peris Danda Thursday, leader Bhattarai said the ruling parties should withdraw their decision taken through the Constituent Assembly on January 25 and should agree to hold talks without condition.
"There is no relevance of holding talks with the ruling parties after they forcefully entered the majoritarian process on January 25 undermining the consensus process, Bhattarai said.
The ruling parties adopted the majoritarian process through the Constituent Assembly meeting four days ago.
Bhattarai further said that there is no alternative to hitting the streets after they were found hell-bent to promulgate the new constitution on the majority of the votes by completely breaching the past agreements.

Beauty of the Body
The Research Chair on Beauty Studies, sponsored by Université PSL, is visiting the Conservatoire National Supérieur d'Art Dramatique in Paris, inviting three experts on the body – a tattoo artist, a performer and a researcher – to contrast their unique perspectives on the narratives that bodies can produce.
Artists and researchers come together on stage for an informal discussion about multiple aspects of the beauty of the body.
Hélène Gugenheim
Author and performer. Following her graduation from the École du Louvre, Ms. Gugenheim joined the editorial staff of Métiers d'art magazine, where she met numerous experts in crafts and artisan practices, movement and materials. It was at that time that she discovered the Japanese practice of porcelain repair known as kintsugi, which served as inspiration for her performance entitled Mes cicatrices, je suis d'elles entièrement tissé-e, in which gold is applied to scars, signifying the blend of strength and fragility that makes us human beings. Her works arrange words and bodies to create an embodiment of multiple intimate truths.
Professor of Sociology at the University of Strasbourg and member of both the Institut Universitaire de France and the University of Strasbourg Institute for Advanced Study (USIAS), Mr. Le Breton is the author of several books. They include Anthropologie du corps et modernité (PUF), Disparaitre de soi. Une tentation contemporaine (Métailié), Marcher. Eloge des chemins et de la lenteur (Métailié) and more recently Rire. Une anthropologie du rieur (Métailié).

How do you get around Melbourne?
Metropolitan Melbourne offers comprehensive public transport options with trains, trams and buses.
Extending from the CBD out in all directions, Melbourne's public transport network will help you explore this wonderful city.
A must for any visitor is to travel the famous Melbourne tram network which operate all over the greater Melbourne Metro area and it's rolling stock varies from the brand new, up to date trams to the more traditional timber carriages that have been in operation since 1889. Here's the map to the tram network .
Don't forget .. trams are only free in the FTZ (see below) and outside of this a MYKI (also below) is required. There are tough penalties for travelling without payment and you'll regularly see inspectors either at tram stops or actually travelling on the trams.
Melbourne trains are efficient and affordable, with train lines stretching across the city, suburbs and into regional Victoria. This is a good way to get to places such as the Melbourne Zoo or Melbourne University. The exciting Southern Cross Station is an attraction in itself, as is the historical Flinders Street Station.
The FREE Tram Zone operating in the city and now to Docklands is the best way to get around and not spend a penny going to the popular tourist spots within the CBD. Click here for details of the FREE TRAM ZONE
Melbourne also has a SkyBus service which runs from Melbourne Airport to most inner city hotels and hostels. Find out more information directly from SkyBus.
How to buy a ticket
The ticket system is the same for all buses, trains and trams in Victoria and uses the MYKI (pronounced My Key) system or the older Metcard system.
To buy your MYKI passes, visit any MetsShop, Melbourne Visitor Centre, Premium Stations, such as Flinders Street Station and Southern Cross Station or on-line via the above MYKI link. Topping up can be done from the ticket machines at some tram stops and bus stops.
Fares for travelling on Melbourne's trains, trams and buses are separated into two zones: Zone 1 for the CBD and inner-city and Zone 2 for the middle and outer suburbs.

Life lessons from quince...and Kanye
Shikha Kaiwar 09 Feb 2022
When we moved to London, one of the first things I noticed (besides the fact that mask-wearing outside wasn't a thing, unlike my paranoid home of San Francisco) was fruit—everywhere. Crates and shelves and baskets gleaming with the most colourful fruits I'd ever seen in a not-tropical country. Radiant oranges, royal-violent plums, sanguine strawberries, beautiful blonde quince...and all in January?! What sorcery was this??
Not sorcery at all, in fact, but imports.
85 percent of the UK's fruits and vegetables are imported, a stark contrast to California, where due to its year-round temperate climate, nearly all fruits and veggies (450+!) are grown in-state; in fact, California supplies two-thirds of the United States' fruits and nuts. Growing up, that meant that nearly everything was local, save a mango here or a banana there. When I visited India, food was hyper-local, with everything grown in the farm adjacent to town or in our own backyard. Eating local was normal and nothing to write home about. (It still isn't, in my opinion, at least if you live in California.)
The other part about working in California restaurants is that seasonal eating is considered "real" eating. God forbid you make an apple pie in July or a blueberry cobbler in November, at least in my fine dining (aka snobbier, but hey it me) circles. It secretly baffled me because California had no seasons. I wore the same jeans/shirt/windbreaker combo every month (also because I'm not stylish).
It felt like we were trying to make seasonal fetch happen with these rigid rules of what to eat and when.
Seasonal eating indicated pride, prestige, and scarcity—so much so that when I worked at a restaurant called Quince (and its sister restaurant Cotogna, which is quince in Italian), our chef had deals with farmers to buy out their entire first crop of quince, so we'd always get it before any other restaurant in the Bay Area. Extra I know, but honestly such a power move.
While other restaurants were stuck in last season, I was arms deep in quince—sooo this season. I was stylish! I learned that uncooked quince is horrifically bitter and spongy (and traumatising if your colleague pranks you by telling you otherwise so you bite into it like a DUMMY). I learned that peeled, poached, and pureed quince is heaven because they're related to roses and taste like honey, fresh flowers, and spring.
Most of all, I learned that good things take work.
Taking a quince from inedible to edible isn't quick or easy. It's a tough fruit, often overlooked due to its knobby nature and unnervingly hard exterior. When I see them at grocery stores, they're in the corner, and I can't help feeling like the other fruits are judging them. Oh you can't be eaten straight away? Sucks to suck. But the joke's on all you other fruits cuz with some time and patience, quince has some serious flavour depth.
Which brings me to Kanye - y'all were wondering when I'd bring him up. For those not on Instagram, this past week he publicly and aggressively posted his concern for how his ex-wife Kim Kardashian is raising his kids when they're in her custody, and he called her out for actions like concealing the address of their daughter's bday party so he couldn't attend (he got the address from someone else and did end up going).
Whether you're on the gram or not, I'm sure you know that Kanye is...rough around the edges. He's brazen and polarising; in the world of celebrity fruit, he's a quince, often judged by consumers and colleagues alike on his opinions and mental health. It's not always unwarranted, and as my partner Orlando knows, I'm often exasperated with him as well (we live in a divided household about Ye, a debate for another day).
But watching the drama unfold this week, I also saw that few were giving him a chance either. Divorce sucks, even if you're a celebrity. and wanting to take care of your kids is a deep, intense emotion. I watched my parents have the same exact fights (not in Instagram, thankfully), about how to raise my brother and I, and when one parent was or wasn't allowed to see us. Drama and judgement were everywhere, and everyone in our family felt alone, confused, and frustrated, with little support or empathy.
We all handled it it differently. I dealt with it by escaping to kitchens, cooking all the seasonal fruit California had to offer and eventually making my way to those crates and crates of first-season quinces. As I peeled and diced, I found solace in knowing that something ugly and tough can be simmered down and sweetened if you give it enough time.
So in a weird, relatable way even though I literally do not know this man at all in any possible sense, I wish the same healing for Kanye.
Life is hard; let's cook that shit down.
That color!
Because so much is imported into the UK, grocery shopping makes no sense to me—everything is available all the time. Am I supposed to eat food that wasn't grown locally? Am I allowed to eat fruits grown out of our season, even though it was grown in season somewhere else? All this to say, when I saw the crate of quince at the store, I grabbed all of them, and along with some of those crazy violet plums, peeled, simmered, and pureed them into this wonderfully aromatic jam. The plums give it a pop of color and just enough tartness to offset the added sugar. The quince is—well, you already know how I feel about it.

Automatic Train Operation for Regional Passenger Trains to be Tested in Germany
PRZOOM - /newswire/ - Paris, Ile-de-France, France, 2020/05/27 - Innovation prize awarded by German Federal Ministry of Economics - AlstomGroup.com. FR0010220475; ALO
• Alstom lauded by German Federal Ministry of Economics for start of automatic regional rail project;
• Research project starts in 2021, test operation for first automated trains in early 2023;
• Second innovative mobility solution tested in Lower Saxony after the world's first hydrogen train.
The German Federal Ministry of Economics has presented Alstom with the "Innovation Prize for Regulatory Sandboxes"*, related to a planned test project to implement Automatic Train Operation (ATO) in daily passenger operation of regional trains. The project will begin in 2021 together with the Regional Association of the greater area of Braunschweig, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin).
After evaluation of the selected tracks and the equipment necessary for automated operation, the testing will be carried out with Metronom Eisenbahngesellschaft, a rail operator in Lower Saxony, and two Coradia Continental regional trains owned by the Regionalbahnfahrzeuge Großraum Braunschweig GmbH. Alstom has long been a world-leader in ATO for metro systems, but this test will be a world-first for regional passenger trains.
"In the future, automated trains will optimize regional rail operations, reduce energy consumption, and increase ride comfort. In this way, highly automated driving will make a decisive contribution to climate protection and contribute to the development of a modern, attractive railway system. Following the development and successful testing of the world's first hydrogen train Coradia iLint, Alstom is once again the innovative driver in rail transport with the pilot for regional trains in automated operation," says Jörg Nikutta, Managing Director of Alstom in Germany and Austria
For this project, two trains based on Alstom's successful Coradia Continental platform will be equipped with a European Train Control System (ETCS) and additional Automatic Train Operation (ATO) equipment. The equipment will enable the trains to operate automatically, testing different grades of automation (GoA): GoA3 in regular passenger operation and GoA4 during shunting. GoA3 describes a fully autonomous train journey, but with an attendant who can intervene in the operation in case of emergency. GoA4 denotes unattended operation with no staff aboard, but with the possibility of remote control.
Congratulations on the nationwide award of the Innovation Prize were expressed by Lower Saxony's Minister of Economics and Transportation, Dr. Bernd Althusmann: "After the successful operation of the fuel cell train in the Elbe-Weser Triangle, the Alstom site in Salzgitter is once again setting standards for tomorrow's local transportation with this project. The fact that we in Lower Saxony are now able to drive forward the testing and further development of automatic train operation in addition to the test field for automated and networked mobility on the road is a decisive step for the future of passenger transport by rail. The new model project promises a high degree of innovation, which we need for climate-friendly and efficient mobility services. Of course, I am particularly pleased that with Alstom, another company from Lower Saxony underlines our reputation as an important source of innovation".
"ATO, or Automatic Train Operation, is one of the most exciting challenges in the railway industry. It gives us the opportunity to shape and significantly change the operational management of the future. But a lot of research is still needed before this is the case, and I am very pleased to be working with Alstom on this project," said Birgit Milius, Head of the Department of Railway Operations and Infrastructure at TU Berlin. In the project applied for, she will investigate various aspects, including the integration of humans into the technical system.
Fritz Rössig, Head of the Transport Department of the Regional Association and Managing Director of Regionalbahnfahrzeuge Großraum Braunschweig GmbH adds: "Artificial intelligence is an important technology for making the local rail passenger transport of the future even more efficient, reliable and economical. Against this background, the Regional Association of Greater Braunschweig supports this innovative research project and is very happy to make its "ENNO vehicles" available for this purpose".
Jörn Groos, group leader in the technology field of data acquisition and information retrieval at the Institute of Transportation Systems Technology at the German Aerospace Center DLR e. V., adds: "Tests under real conditions are indispensable for the development of practical AI approaches for the optimization of the railway system".
The findings from this important project will contribute decisively to the further development of the legal and regulatory framework that will oversee Automatic Train Operation. Lower Saxony will be at the leading edge and isconfident that automatic regional trains equipped with GoA3 will soon be ready for series production. In executing the regulatory sandbox, Alstom can rely on its extensive know-how in automated metros and various other ATO projects. The company is leading the European ATO project in Shift2Rail and is involved in SNCF's automated freight train.
About the programme "Innovation Prize for Regulatory Sandboxes"
Alstom received the prize for its idea of a regulatory sandbox for highly automated train operation in the category "Outlook". Regulatory Sandboxes are becoming increasingly important for Germany as a means for innovation. As test environments for innovation and regulation, they serve to gather experience with digital innovations under real conditions. New technologies and business models that are only partially compatible with the existing legal and regulatory framework are to be tested in experimental environments for a defined amount of time.

Yes, winter is making us cold. Keeping the body warm is a major concern for us. It would be such a bore to spend the rest of the winters indoors trying to keep the cold away.
Caps and mufflers have their benefit, but nothing can match the inner warmness that food gives.
But when nothing works right, food helps so just take the help of some eatables that will keep your body warm in this chilly weather.
1 Onions: Onions help to keep blood in circulation, and that at the end helps to keep the body warm. It also helps to tackle illness in winters.
Have a good onion salad with your dinners on winter nights.
2 Ginger Tea: Tea is a great thing to keep you warm and if you are having in winter then add ginger to it. It will even help you for your throat.
Tea is best, for sure one should not be addicted, but still two cups are day are great.
3 Porridge: It helps in different things such as it keeps your bad cholesterol at bay, and it's best to keep yourself warmer in the winters.
So having a good porridge bowl in breakfast is going to make your whole day great.
4 Turmeric: Have warm yellow milk in winters. It helps you to be warm and also it is an excellent antioxidant.
So have a glass full of milk daily with this yellow tint.
5 Chilli: So people who love spicy food then they can consume it more in winters to keep them warm and cosy in winters.
Chillies are also used in pain relieving creams as they contain capsaicin which is useful in this.
So these are some of the food products you can have this winters to keep you warm.
Stay healthy and warm these winters.

President Donald Trump has announced he is canceling a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, saying the world had "lost a great opportunity for lasting peace".
The American leader said his decision was because of "tremendous anger and open hostility" in a recent North Korean statement.
The summit aimed at ridding the Korean peninsula of nuclear weapons and would have been the first time a sitting US president met a North Korean leader.
However, both sides have recently cast doubt on whether the talks would happen.
President Trump's announcement came just hours after North Korea said it had dismantled tunnels at its only nuclear test site in a move witnessed by foreign reporters.
He said he had been looking forward to the now-canceled summit in Singapore on June 12.
The president called the meeting a "missed opportunity", saying "someday, I look very much forward to meeting you".
President Trump was apparently responding to statements from North Korea attacking his administration and casting doubt over the meeting.
Earlier today, North Korean official Choe Son-hui dismissed remarks by US Vice-President Mike Pence – who had said North Korea "may end like Libya" – as "stupid".
Choe Son-hui, who has been involved in several diplomatic interactions with the US over the past decade, said North Korea would not "beg" for dialogue and warned of a "nuclear showdown" if diplomacy failed.
A White House official quoted by Reuters described the comments about Mike Pence as the "last straw". They stressed, however, there was a "backdoor that's open still".
References to Libya have angered North Korea. There, former leader Colonel Gaddafi gave up his nuclear program only for him to be killed by Western-backed rebels a few years later.

We kept the organization into the same categories, resulting in a list with the same size as the original data set.


Espanyol is in the middle of the table in the standings with a total of 42 points. The team is away from the relegation zone and without a chance of ranking in European club competitions. So the composition led by Sergio Gonzalez played out the tournament and will come in this derby without much tension in the ranks. Espanyol are unbeaten in six straight rounds in La Liga and in the previous match ended a draw 2: 2 during his visit to Levante. Baresolna is held up as the big favorite to win the championship this season. The Catalan giants have a lead of two points over second Real Madrid and missteps should not be allowed. The team was more than convincing in the rematch this week against the French champions Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League as Barcelona took another victory this time with 2: 0 at home. They qualified for the semifinals of the year at - the prestigious European club tournament. The team led by coach Luis Enrique has not lost in 13 consecutive meetings, of which the record 12 wins and one draw. Great form, in which the trio in attack team Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez says that in this game we can expect goals from them.

FSU 83, Florida 78: Gators go down fighting to Seminoles
Florida whittled down a big deficit, but couldn't get enough makes to get a win.

Share All sharing options for: FSU 83, Florida 78: Gators go down fighting to Seminoles
Phil Sears-USA TODAY Sports
Midway through the second half on Sunday in Tallahassee, Florida trailed Florida State 61-48 — just like it had trailed Duke by the same score on Tuesday.
And just like in that game, Florida tried its damnedest to erase that deficit, but never could, falling by an 83-78 count.
The Gators got a career-high 21 points from Kasey Hill on the day, but precious little from anyone else until it was too late.
KeVaughn Allen, limited in the first half by three fouls, had 16 points, most of them in the second period, but needed 13 shots to get them. Canyon Barry? Six points on 10 shots. Chris Chiozza? Six on seven. Three of John Egbunu's eight points came on a desperation three with just seconds left. Devin Robinson's eight came along with five fouls.
Florida shot just 47 percent from the floor, and made just four of 16 threes. Take away Hill's 10-for-15 night, though, and those numbers plummet to 40 and 20 percent.
Those offensive struggles scuttled a mostly excellent defensive performance by the Gators, who limited FSU's potent offense to 46 percent shooting from the field, and 27 percent from three. But the Gators never stopped Dwayne Bacon, who scored 24 points (on 18 shots), and fouled all game long, allowing the Seminoles to shoot 33 free throws — and make 25.
Florida took 25 freebies of its own, but made just 16 — and those nine missed points more than covered the margin of victory.
Florida has now lost two straight games away from Gainesville against NCAA Tournament-bound ACC teams in which it did not lead in the second half — and three straight against the Seminoles, all in games decided by fewer than five points.
But the meat of the Gators' non-conference schedule is digested or digesting now, and no result from it so far has been genuinely dyspeptic. If the Gators can hold it together for one last barnstorming game against Charlotte prior to returning to the renovated O'Connell Center just 10 days from now, they will be in good position to hold down a spot in the NCAA Tournament field throughout their SEC schedule.

and more with our ultimate Woolloomooloo guide.
A gentrified suburb whose working class roots are visible on its narrow streets.
Woolloomooloo has a below average violent crime rate and a below average property crime rate for Sydney.
WHAT'S LIVING IN Woolloomooloo LIKE?
Woolloomooloo is a suburb in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs located just east of the CBD. This was a historically working-class neighborhood but has gentrified, bringing in new development, higher costs of living, and Australian celebrities.
Most residences here consist of renovated terraces densely packed along the neighborhood's narrow streets and pedestrian-only walkways. The refurbished Finger Wharf hosts a trendy hotel, luxury condos (including actor Russell Crowe's), and a number of upscale restaurants. Expensive yachts are moored in the adjacent marina.
The neighborhood still has plenty of more affordable dining and drinking options, which is appropriate given its history as a home to the men who once worked the cargo docks here. Among these options, Harry's Café de Wheels is the original late night drunk food, serving mushy peas, potatoes, and sauce since 1945.
There is a large homeless population here and the biggest men's homeless hostel in the city is also located in Woolloomooloo.
This neighborhood is also the base for two fleets of the Australian Navy, so military ships are a common site.
Woolloomooloo is bordered on the north by Woolloomooloo Bay, on the east by Potts Point, on the south by Darlinghurst, and on the west by the Domain parklands and gardens and Sydney CBD.

Gear Head Tuesday – Lancia's Flaminia: DNA From Lancia's Florida Show Car
Lancia Flaminia Berlina
Two weeks ago, our featured Gear Head story was the Pininfarina-designed Lancia Florida show car. A reader from Canada, using the handle "8E45E*", asked how I could write about the Florida and not mention its offspring, the Flaminia. Good question! The simple answer is that I am something of a "newbie" to Lancias and didn't know that the Flaminia was the production version of the Florida show car. The other flaw, if you wish to view it as such, in the original post is that it didn't show the Florida II which is even closer in some respects to the production car than the original in that it corrected the design flaw of the Florida I – the awkward headlight design. Welcome to the world of Lancias – some of the best engineered and most under-appreciated cars in the world.
* "8E45E" – Studebaker fans will recognize that "handle" as being the model number of a Studebaker truck. This always knowledgeable reader also frequents the Studebaker Drivers Club forum.
Above: production Lancia Flaminia Berlina; Below: Lancia Florida show car.
Compare the headlamp treatment of the Florida II show car (below) with that of the original Florida – much improved.
It is unfortunate that Lancia cars are not well-known in the U.S. (It appears to me that Lancia is better known and enjoyed a larger market share in Canada.) Lancias haven't been imported for many years and, when they were imported, their numbers were small. Despite that, Gear Heads who know the marque are passionate about it. Lancia has offered some of the best engineered and best handling cars the world has ever seen.
The company was founded in Torino in 1906 by Vincenzo Lancia and his friend Claudio Fogolin. Both were drivers racing a Fiat. Vincenzo died of a heart attack in 1937. His wife, Adele Miglietti Lancia, and his son, Gianni Lancia, took control of the firm. They convinced Vittorio Jano join the Lancia as an engineer. Gano already made a name for himself by building Alfa-Romeo 1750 Sport, Alfa-Romeo 6C 2300, 2900, Alfa-Romeo P2 and Alfa-Romeo P3, some of the most successful racing cars of the time. From its inception, the Lancia organization has built very well-engineered cars that offer brilliant performance.
The Florida show car was based on the production Aurelia. Lancia introduced the world to the concept of a V-6 engine with the Aurelia. The Florida and Florida II show cars are powered by the Aurelia V-6 and it was this engine that was fitted to the production Flaminias. The transmission was a four speed gearbox in a transaxle configuration for better weight distribution.
Lancia's Flaminia series was introduced in 1957. It was offered as a Berlina (sedan) and as a coupe and cabriolet. The Berlina closely follows the design theme of the Florida I show car but incorporating the much-improved front end design of the Florida II coupé. Lancia built the bodies of the Berlina.
It was Lancia's flagship model at that time. The Berlina version of the car was was the only body to last through the entire production period which ran through the 1970 model year.
The Flaminia Berlina was also the only body to be built by Lancia themselves. The Flaminia coupé and convertible variants were coachbuilt cars with bodies from several prestigious Italian coachbuilders such as Pininfarina (Flaminia Coupé), Touring (GT, GTL and Convertible) and Zagato (Sport and Super Sport).

LOVE these.
8E45E is NOTJUST "…a Studebaker truck…", but I believe that it IS a 1963-1964 two ton heavy duty four cylinder diesel Studebaker truck.
I will not post the Canadian's name. That is up to him.
Hi, Gary – Indeed – it is my general policy on the blog not to post names unless the person chooses to reveal their name. An exception is Steven Hayward who is already a public figure. Obviously you've chosen to show your name, but I would be OK with and respect your handle of "StudeGary". 😊
James Tefft 24/03/2020 — 08:34
What are U trying to do?? Are U selling these things. Who makes it?? I bought Toyota because they last a long tim and dont get recalled . They just keep running. Jim
James – at the time these cars were built Lancia was an independent Italian automaker. Lancia became a part of FIAT in 1969.

Home Ireland Researchers examine dangers of lethal superbugs to sea users
Researchers examine dangers of lethal superbugs to sea users

Researchers are examining the risk of sea swimmers and surfers harbouring antibiotic-resistant superbugs which could cause life-threatening infections.
A team of researchers at NUI Galway are exploring whether recreational waters are carrying potentially deadly bacteria that is not routinely tested for.
While Ireland has some of the cleanest bathing waters in Europe, raw sewage is still being discharged at more than 30 locations.
The deadly superbugs are recognised as one of the greatest threats to human health.
The Antimicrobial Resistance and Microbial Ecology Research Group at the university is launching the PIER study (Public Health Impact of Exposure to antibiotic Resistance in recreational waters), funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Researchers are hoping to recruit 300 people to take part – one group of 150 sea swimmers, surfers and people who regularly use the sea, lakes or rivers for recreation, along with a second group of 150 people who rarely take to the water.
A key part of the project is to understand how superbugs get into human populations to help scientists learn how to control the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Professor Dearbhaile Morris, principal investigator on the PIER project, said: "In healthy people, antibiotic-resistant bacteria behave very similarly to other common bugs, they live harmlessly on the skin, in the nose or in the bowel. This is called colonisation.
"As long as a bug stays on the skin or in the bowel, it usually does not cause a problem.
"However, once a superbug gets into a wound, into the bladder or into the blood, it can cause an infection that can be difficult to treat.
"This mostly happens in sick or vulnerable people with weaker immune systems, such as those in intensive care, the very old or the very young, and special antibiotics are then required for treatment, as ordinary antibiotics do not work."
Previous research carried out by the team found potentially lethal bugs in seawater around Galway.
Dr Liam Burke, co-investigator on the PIER project, said some superbugs are very common in the environment because of increased antibiotic use in humans and animals and the release of sewage, manure and effluent containing antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant superbugs, which can end up in Ireland's lakes, rivers and seas.
"Although bathing waters are routinely tested for some bacteria, they are not tested for antibiotic-resistant bacteria, so we don't really know to what extent they are present," Dr Burke said.
"PIER will look into whether people who regularly use Irish waters for recreation are at risk of becoming colonised with superbugs."
Dr Burke also warned about the dangers of heavy rainfall and its impact on beaches and sea swimming.
He said that drains can overflow and carry wastewater into seawater and lakes, leading to no swim notices being issued, like those in Co Clare recently.
"If hospital waste ends up in the sea, it will more than likely contain antibiotic-resistant bacteria or a slurry stream from a farm ends up getting into the water or river, then there is potential for that to contain a high level of antibiotic-resistant bacteria," he added.
"As the superbugs have been exposed to antibiotics, they needed to develop a mechanism to resist it. They don't cause problems in healthy people if they stay in the gut, but if they get out of your gut by not practising good hygiene, then you could spread them around the home.
"A young child or elderly person could then pick it up."
Anyone aged 18 or over who lives on the island of Ireland can take part and those interested in supporting the research can find out more and sign up at the PIER website nuigalway.ie/pier
