The carbonate mountainous landscape around most of the Mediterranean is karstic, is almost barren, and has thin soils. Erosion of preexisting thicker soils is a common hypothesis used to explain this bare terrain. An alternative hypothesis is that in the Mediterranean region, thin soils are attributed to long-distance transport of very fine, silty clay dust, resulting in low mass accumulation rates. Even if accreted over millennia, such dust cannot produce thick, highly productive soils. A pronounced anomaly in the Mediterranean is the thick, more productive soil of the semiarid southern Levant (SL). These soils contain order-of-magnitude coarser grains than the characteristic thin soils in the Mediterranean and a high proportion (>70%) of coarse silt quartz sourced from the nearby Sinai-Negev erg, the primary contributor of the Negev loess. This proximal intense dust supply produced greatly thicker soils. However, influx of coarse silt quartz loess is a geologically recent phenomenon in the SL. Pre-loess (i.e., older than 200 ka, pre-coarse-silt influx) SL soils are much finer and were generated by long-distance dust from the Sahara and Arabia like most other Mediterranean soils. Thus, we hypothesize that the geologically recent Negev Desert loess interval caused a drastic change in mountainous soil properties within the SL, enriching the Levant's ecology and affecting early human development. The high amounts of coarse silt deposited on the landscape have contributed to the unique sustainable agriculture in the SL, which assisted in transforming the Levant into "the land of milk and honey" and a cradle of civilizations.

May Meeting sees visit of N332 Team
Playa Flamenca Charity Day
Welcome to the Orihuela Costa and District Branch of The Royal British Legion
The Orihuela Costa Branch of the Royal British Legion celebrated the 90th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday with a dinner, followed by entertainment from TAABS and The Crazy Ladies, at the Olympia Restaurant in Mil Palmeras.
Coincidentally the birthday fell on a monthly meeting night, the timing for which had to be brought forward to cram in the additional activities.
The dinner was attended by 50 branch members and guests including two members of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, Wayne Campbell and Skippy Teasdale, who both came over from London especially for the event.
Both TAABS and The Crazy Ladies were once again outstanding as they entertained the gathering with a selection of their finest for almost 2 hours. But what the members hadn't provided for came after the two groups had finished their sets, the surprise arrival of Charles and Camilla, aka Malcolm Rusbridge and Peter Breen, who joined in the branch celebrations which culminated in the cutting and devouring of the very resplendent birthday cake, provided by Margaret Marsh, at the end of a most enjoyable evening.
There then followed the draw of the raffle which raised €103.00 towards this year's Poppy Appeal.
Just 48 hours later the branch were out on the road as they celebrated St Georges Day on Saturday afternoon at the Emerald isle, La Florida, where a recruiting stand and book stall was manned by RBL members.
The venue was absolutely packed as once again live music was provided throughout the afternoon by entertainers aplenty, Dan Davy, Nick Gold and many more, who all gave their valuable time absolutely free. But it was young singing sensation Rebecca Holt who stole the show, where, for the best part of an hour, she wowed the sizeable audience with her performance of many popular wartime classics.
The Annual St George's Day event, which raised over 1130 euro, was organised by Branch Vice Chairman Eddie Coleman, in support of the RBL Poppy Appeal and the Paul Cunningham Nurses.

Blackpool v Southend United: Can We Play You Every Week?
blackpooljane February 9, 2020 9 min read
The menu was also quite firm that you couldn't ask for substitutions, as they would not vary from the menu. I mean, who would choose to have scrambled eggs with their breakfast (unless it was accompanied by smoked salmon, of course)?
Finally a home game on a Saturday! Much as I love the adventure of an awayday, it has been a gruelling few weeks – especially as we haven't had a win to show for it. When we win, I float home in next to no time. At least that's what I think happened when we used to win. How many points for a win these days? Is it still three?
I took advantage of the rare Saturday in Blackpool to book in at the beauty therapist for a wax.
'Have you remembered to take your painkillers?'
'Ooh no – thanks for the reminder!'
I forget it hurts until I'm in there. And it really hurts. Not that I've ever had children, but I imagine it's a bit like childbirth. Bear with me here. I mean that we ladies are resilient creatures and put up with a lot of physical traumas but just grin and bear it. We don't focus on the pain element, but on the result.
And this was the result today:
Looks sore, right?
As I exited the clinic a little concerned that I might cause a traffic accident with the glare from my forehead, I decided to treat myself to breakfast. I hunted down a nearby caff and promptly ordered a full English and a banana milkshake. You know I sometimes forget to eat prior to a home match and I wanted to make sure I was fully sustained for the day ahead.
For today saw the launch of a new issue of Now That's What I Call Progress, the Blackpool FC fanzine that I edit. This means I'm standing on Bloomfield Road flogging fanzines – sans food – for two hours prior to kick-off.
The breakfast wasn't the best. I opted for the upgrade from regular sausages to Cumberland, but I couldn't tell the difference. And of course what I really wanted (having fallen in love with the place and its food) was Lincolnshire. Also the bacon was very fatty. I didn't photograph it to spare you the trauma. Not liking sausage or bacon, I usually order a vegetarian breakfast, but in this particular cafe, for some reason you get scrambled egg with the veggie breakfast, but fried egg with the full English. The menu was also quite firm that you couldn't ask for substitutions, as they would not vary from the menu. I mean, who would choose to have scrambled eggs with their breakfast (unless it was accompanied by smoked salmon, of course)? If I'm being completely honest, I prefer mine poached, but fried is the next best thing. Incidentally, if anyone has any tips for poaching an egg I'd be most grateful. I've mastered the art of frying them (in Fry Light, on a low light, sprinkled with a little black pepper), but poaching remains a mystery to me.
To distract myself from the breakfast, I took to my phone to promote the fanzine launch on social media and the Blackpool fans forums. You can follow the fanzine on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram @progress1887.
Lee came to pick me up from the caff and we soon found ourselves at home with an hour to spare on the morning of a match. This never happens. I decided to try and put up our new curtains which ended terribly and an hour later the house was completely trashed, with curtains, rings, hooks, packaging and tools all over the house. As I decided to exit the scene as we were now running late, Lee announced that he was going to start getting ready. START getting ready. And thus we were rushing and late as usual and it was 1.15pm before I was in situ on Bloomfield Road.
Now Storm Ciara was set to wreak havoc today, but it was just a regular blustery day in Blackpool on Saturday afternoon. I wedged my hat on my head to (a) stop my hair blowing about everywhere; (b) keep me warm; and (c) cover up my radiant brow (which was calming down a lot now and I'd covered it up with make-up as well). It is always a bonus when it isn't raining when I'm selling fanzines. Numerous people complained about the cold as they passed by but I was quite snug in my new jumper, thermal trousers, body warmer, big coat, thermal tights and thermal socks. If it got really cold, I'd put my scarf on and my hood up. Indeed both came out in the second half of the match.
So, who popped by to buy a fanzine today? Well there was the lovely Susan, who came by with a big hug to commiserate for all I had been through at the last few away games. That's was so lovely and really made my day. And then a little later, a man presented me with these:
'These are from my step dad. He loves reading your blogs. These are for you to enjoy at half time.'
I love my dear readers!
After a successful selling session, I headed towards the turnstile just before 3pm. The steward apologised to me for having to search my bag but I said it was really ok as I knew he was only doing his job. Plus I'd got the smoke bomb stuffed down my coat anyway (joke, obvs…).
I entered the ground and climbed up to my seat in the South Stand. My neighbours here are quite amusing. One man has nicknames for players which do tickle me. My favourite is 'Tom' (Bola).
I was pleased with the team selection today – especially with the start for new boy Taylor Moore, who had given a great first impression with his opening interview for the club:
Compare this with the first impression we got of Joe Nuttall, who looked less than delighted to have signed a three-year contract with the Mighty Tangerine Wizards:
So how was the match today? Well the first 15-20 minutes almost had me in tears again…but for different reasons than at recent away games. We were playing football. We were attacking. We were exciting. We actually looked like we had a plan and were passing the ball forwards and running at the Southend defence. Connor Ronan and Samlesbury Hall are making the world of difference in our midfield (we have a midfield!).
And as for Taylor Moore? Oh. My. God. What a player. The fans around me were comparing him to Ian Evatt ('but better') and Andy Morrison. His fearless tackles were tremendous. He likes to charge forward to get involved in attacking movements. He's vocal. He's classy. He wants to be playing football. He wants to be here, playing for Blackpool.
Yes I'm getting overexcited. But I WANT new players to impress and succeed. And god knows we have had precious little to get excited about on the pitch in recent weeks (months). But these loan players really do appear head and shoulders above the previous crop. Chris Maxwell in nets looks impressive, too: sharp, quick and agile.
I'm not sure anyone is sure about the two big men together up front. But Gnanduillet gets goals (two today) and Madine cuts an imposing figure up there and we need to keep him playing and happy as he will be the one leading the line next season when Gnands heads off to pastures new. So I get why we are pairing these two together. We do seem to be lacking mobility up top, though. A nippy little goal poacher would fit in there just perfectly: a Brett Ormerod, a Scott Taylor, an Andy Watson (Superstar). We know what works. We've seen the winning combination many times over the years. We've got the big man, we've got the wizard on the wing…now we've finally got that added dimension of creativity in midfield, we're actually not that far off being a decent side.
Gnanduillet's first goal was met with such a muted reaction that I thought it had been disallowed. It was like we had forgotten what scoring a goal (and going ahead) felt like. But, yes, it was really a goal and we were really winning. Even the North Stand was less bouncy and exuberant than usual today. I sit quite close to the away fans and all I could hear during the first half was the Southend fans singing and yes they had come a long way and it was great that they were having a nice time in Blackpool but could they be a bit quieter about it, please?
Our second was a penalty carved out by The Fonz, who had just come on as sub. Skipper Spearing and Big Gnands had a discussion over the ball and there was only ever going to be one outcome there. Determined to make amends for his Panenka against the bar at Reading, the big man made no mistake on this occasion, sending the keeper the wrong way and the ball hard into the bottom corner of the net.
Dear reader, we won! The final score was 2-1, Southend pulling one back with a wonderstrike from Stephen McLaughlin, making the last 20 minutes unnecessary tense. No, tense isn't the right word. It's more that we were strolling and comfortable for the first 70 minutes. It was a lovely feeling. But of course the team couldn't have that because they're Blackpool so they had to put us on edge for the last 20 minutes. Frankly I switched off at that point. Perhaps it's a coping mechanism. But as soon as that goal went in, I found myself thinking about work and what to have for tea and when we were going to fit in the next episode of Picard and returning those curtains (which didn't fit, by the way, after all that carnage) and oh god I'd got to tidy the house when we got home and where was I going to meet Lee after the game because we had season tickets in separate blocks and I wonder how far away from the ground he'd parked this time and it was going to be nice to be home by half past five instead of half past ten.
When the final whistle blew I almost didn't know what to do. I can't actually remember the last time I clapped the players off the pitch. They've been shit for weeks, months.
And I heard our fans complaining that Southend had been crap so that win was nothing to get excited about. But I strongly disagree with that for the following reasons:
1.	We could only beat Southend because Southend were our opponents today. We couldn't have beaten Rotherham or Wycombe because we weren't playing them. We did enough. And we didn't lose, like we would have done three weeks ago.
2.	We have honestly been THAT BAD recently, that match was a blessed relief and a joy to watch. If you took that match in isolation, hey, maybe it wasn't a classic, but believe me it was a hundred times better than Wycombe away.
3.	We WERE good. Samlesbury Hall's cheeky back heel and runs at and through players; Ronan's dinks down the flank; Bola rampaging forward; Moore's tackles; Maxwell's Hollywood save. We haven't had ANY of that. We have been starved of joy on the pitch for so long and these players are bringing it. And I love them for that.
4.	We bloody WON for the first time in TWO MONTHS and 11 MATCHES and 2,220 MILES on the road SO I'M GOING TO BLOODY ENJOY IT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I found Lee on the concourse at the end of the game and we strolled out of the ground arm in arm and beaming as Lee filmed the post-match reaction. I confess it felt a little strange watching events unfolding without filming anything today but I was more than happy to hand the reins back to the boss today. Here's his video of today's proceedings:
Same again on Tuesday please, you Mighty Tangerine Wizards!

BAA is making one final attempt to reason with the dinosaurs in UNITE (the union that is pressing ahead with plans to shut down Britain's major airports on the 7th of January).
However, BA still refuse to acknowledge the possibility of any such strike on its website.
The British Airports Authority is scrambling to avert strikes at some of Britain's busiest airports and is set to hold talks with airport unions on Monday.
Discussions with the Unite and the Public and Commercial Services unions will be held at an undisclosed venue, in a bid to convince the workers to call off the strikes set for seven days in January.
The mass action will kick off on Jan. 7.
The protest action against proposed changes in the salary pension scheme of new workers is seen adversely affecting operations of BAA's seven U.K. airports, including Edinburgh, Gatwick and Heathrow.
Notably, even firefighters and security staff will join the strike which is also slated on Jan. 8, 14, 15, 17, 18 and 19. The airports cannot operate without these personnel. Aberdeen, Glasgow, Southampton and Stansted airports will also join the protests.
If it pushes through, some 1.3 million passengers will be affected, BAA said.
The parties tried but failed to reach a compromise last week.
The unions insisted on the reversal of the pension scheme amendments but BAA refused to give in. Ferrovial, the Spanish owner of BAA, wants to close the company's final-salary pension scheme to new entrants.
Brendan Gold, Unite national aviation officer, said the workers delayed the strike until after the Christmas holiday but are determined to push through with the actions if BAA fails to give in to their demands.
The first day of strike, Jan. 7, will also see a new baggage rule taking effect.
Passengers may carry two pieces of carry-on baggage provided they are at an airport with a new type of three-dimensional scanner.
With workers on strike, confusion is expected to mar airport operations.
The dinosaurs in UNITE are still determined to have their strike, if the report in the Guardian is anything to go by (see below).
The odd thing is, BA still seems to be in a state of denial about this strike. Go to their website and look at the news page.
There is no mention of the strike there.
Do they not know about the strike?
BAA has asked trade unions to resurrect discussions in the hope of averting proposed strikes that would ground more than 1.3 million airline passengers next month.
It is understood that Britain's largest airport operator hopes to resume talks on New Year's Eve after negotiations broke up without agreement on Thursday. However, BAA is thought to be refusing to meet the key trade union demand of reopening its final salary pension scheme to new entrants. Instead, the group is willing to offer guarantees over the pension rights of current employees, which the Unite and PCS unions believe are under threat.
Four days of strikes are due to take place on January 7, January 14, January 17 and January 18, affecting the travel plans of at least 1.3 million airline customers.
Unite represents 5,800 BAA employees including airport fire service and security staff. Airplanes are prohibited from using airports that have no functioning fire service. As a consequence BAA's seven UK airports, including Stansted and Gatwick, would be shut down during the strikes.
"We will continue to do all we can to resolve the dispute. We want to engage in further discussions with Unite."
A Unite spokesman said the union wanted further talks, but reopening the pension scheme to newcomers remained the "main issue of concern", still leaving both sides at loggerheads.
"There's one rule for Gordon Ramsay and another for everyone else."
"Technically, they were right, but it seemed harsh, as I had been cleared to fly from Boston into London.
I heard BA staff saying Gordon Ramsay's son had just got on the plane and his passport had less than six months before it expired – which put him in the same position as me.
I took the matter up with the customer services manager.
He said he had been on the plane to check the passport of Gordon Ramsay's son and that, in fact, it was in order.
I can't believe he lied to me. I will be writing a letter of complaint to BA."
"Because Jack was part of a family of six about to go on holiday, the decision was taken to allow him to travel.
The risk that he would be denied entry to Thailand was fully explained to his parents, who said they would accept the risk.
This was a very difficult decision and we accept that another customer, who was denied boarding on the same flight, might regard it as unfair.
However, we remind customers that it is their responsibility to ensure they have the correct passport and visas before travelling."
British Airways has been accused of colluding in setting prices of fuel surcharges and other levies in the provision of air freight services.
BA confirmed it received a letter of complaint from European Union regulators, alleging that it was part of a suspected air freight cartel.
The complaints were also sent to Germany's Lufthansa, Air France-KLM and Scandinavia's SAS.
The airlines have the right to respond, but if found guilty, they face fines.
The European Commission that it had sent official letters, known as statements of objection, to a number of air freight firms, concerning "violation of EU rules on restrictive business practices".
Officials did not name the specific airlines involved, but BA, Air France-KLM and SAS confirmed they had each received the European Commission letter.
It follows a lengthy investigation on both sides of the Atlantic dating back to early 2006 to discover whether airlines broke competition law by operating a cartel in the air cargo sector.
But EU officials stressed that the statement of objection did not reflect the final outcome of the investigation.
The airlines have all committed to co-operate fully with the authorities.
Why is BA still continuing to sell tickets to customers for flights on the 7th of January, without warning their customers that there will be a BAA strike that will close down all BAA airports on the UK on that day?
BA claim that this is because "these strikes usually never happen".
However, insiders from BAA have told the media that they will let the strike go ahead and have no intention of acquiescing to UNITE's (the union behind the ludicrous strike threat) demands.
Therefore why are BA continuing to sell tickets for UK flights on that day, without warning their customers of this strike?
"Since British Airways (BA) announced a ban on surfboards on all flights (effective from 6th Nov), the surf community across the world has been reacting to the shock new position and taking decisive action to push for a reversal on the decision.
In hoards, surfers from across the globe, including the World Number One, Mick Fanning, have been signing up to a global petition created by the British Surfing Association (BSA) and international governing bodies, key surf brands and thousands of individuals have been issuing statements and joining a group on the social networking site, Facebook.
Until now BA has had a reputation for being one of the most surfer friendly airlines but last weekend their new ruling stated that surfboards, alongside other items such as hang gliders, windsurfing boards and sails, kayaks or canoes, pole vaults or javelins, will no longer be accepted as baggage on any flights on the extensive BA network.
At the same time, BA proudly announced that it would be loosening any restrictions on their carriage of skis, snowboards, cycles, diving equipment and even guns, amongst other items. At the recent Ski and Snowboard Show in London, BA was advertising its allegiance to snow sports and pushing its free carriage of snow related equipment on all flights. "
The Scotsman puts the boot into BA's reputation wrt its worsening punctuality in Scotland, calling it a "rapid and spectacular collapse".
"Already among Britain's least punctual carriers, BA is being trounced by its rivals on every single route between Scotland and London. It is significantly worse than its competitors at every airport, on every route and in each direction.
A business traveller in Scotland wanting to be in a meeting in London is much more likely to arrive on time with BMI at Heathrow, EasyJet at Gatwick or ScotAirways at London City. The most reliable option of all is travelling by train, where 87.5 per cent of GNER trains between Edinburgh and London Kings Cross were on time in the first six months of this year, with a similar number for Virgin West Coast services between Glasgow and London Euston.
And even when BA passengers eventually reach their destination, they are less likely to arrive with their baggage - BA is bottom of the European league tables for lost luggage, according to data from the Air Transport Users Council.
Remember that mountain of 20,000 bags that built up at Heathrow in July?
Some of them still haven't been delivered to their owners."
Alistair Carmichael, Liberal Democrat MP for Orkney and Shetland, has even tabled a motion in the House of Commons calling on management to restore levels of service in Scotland.
When will BA realise that they neglect their customers at their peril.
M&C Saatchi has got its own back after former client British Airways dumped it by recreating its famous BA "face" ad from the 1980s for plucky business airline Silverjet.
M&C Saatchi - whose founders Maurice and Charles lost the BA account in October 2005 after a 23-year relationship - has created the copycat advert, complete with the same director, soundtrack and location, to build the fledgling Silverjet brand by piggy-backing off the iconic campaign.
The strategy extends as far as mimicking BA's famous "the world's favourite airline" tagline; Silverjet is using "the world's most civilised airline".
"With a brand new ad you have to throw a lot of media money at it to get recognition over a period of time as people tend to switch off," said Lawrence Hunt, chief executive of Silverjet.
"People will immediately recognise this as a classic travel ad so we have won half the battle and then the focus will be on what is different about it."
M&C Saatchi has recreated the original ad - which launched in 1989 showing thousands of people coming together collectively to form the features of a happy face - with the director Hugh Hudson, the soundtrack, Delibes' Flower Duet from Lakme, and the same locations in Los Angeles and Utah.
The new Silverjet ad will be particularly irritating for Bogle Bartle Hegarty, which won the BA account from M&C Saatchi, as it comes a month after the agency launched its long-awaited debut brand ad for the airline, which was widely panned.
The key difference with the Silverjet advert, that debuts on Sunday on ITV1 before the kick-off of England's quarter-final Rugby World Cup showdown with Australia, is that it only uses four people rather than the thousands in the original advert.
"We want to show that we are an exclusive private jet service, our planes carry 100 people not 400 and we leave from private airfields," added Mr Hunt.
The cost of making the ad and buying the media space is in the "hundreds of thousands," said Mr Hunt; this compares to BA's estimated £50m global ad budget.
BA September passenger traffic fell by 0.7% on the same month last year, but demand for business and first class travel was strong.
First and business class traffic rose by 6.6% while non-premium traffic was down by 2%.
I see that BA may be bidding for Iberia (it already owns 10% of the Spanish airline).
I wonder what that will do to the price of tickets to Spain?
It seems that I am not the only customer of BA to be a "tad disappointed" with their service.
I looked into my BA Executive Club account today, and guess what?
Yes, that's right, our missing airmiles from our trip to Barcelona in July have finally been credited to our account. The countless emails to BA Executive Club finally paid off.
Funny though that BA Executive Club never wrote back to tell me that the miles had been credited?
Equally strange that they have never answered the question that I repeated several times.
Namely that, in this age of security alerts etc, there is no way that an airline does not keep records of their passengers and cannot identify who flew on a particular flight. Therefore why did BA Executive Club claim that they needed proof that we were on their flight before they would credit our miles, even though our Executive Club card numbers were registered with the flight when we booked it and when we checked in?
I guess I will never know the answer to that one!
An American law firm is encouraging consumers in the UK to claim compensation from companies found guilty of breaking competition rules.
The company's UK branch is looking to sue British Airways and Virgin for hundreds of millions of pounds after they were found guilty of colluding over fuel surcharges.
It's just been given permission to go ahead with a class action against both firms in the US.
While Virgin escaped punishment for alerting authorities about what was going on, British Airways was hit by a record fine of more than a £121m after being found guilty by the Office of Fair Trading. The US Department of Justice imposed another £150m.
"A City chum has just flown back from Singapore with BA and wonders what timezone the airline is operating in. Passengers were shown 'the latest BBC news', dating back to last Monday.
They were told UK time was seven hours ahead of Singapore – it's seven hours behind.
And they were reminded that smoking is allowed only in designated areas inside the terminal. Smoking was banned throughout on July 1."
It looks that there is something of a punch up looming between BAA and BA.
The opening news video shown on channel 1, on the ancient inflight "entertainment" system, had no sound. I was advised that this was a fault with the tape, and that nothing could be done about it.
The picture quality on all channels was not that good/clear.
Again, no chutney with the curry. Come on guys, at least you can get this right!
The sandwich selection was hardly inspiring; cheese and tomato, or ham. Both of these were offered on somewhat dry white bread, that had been buttered only on one side.
The BA executive team need to take a leaf out of the late Lord King's book, and start to travel in all classes of their fleet of planes in order to meet their customers. Lord King did this, when BA was recognised as a leading world brand, it is high time that the current executive of BA did the same.
The latter two qualities are being seriously neglected by the executive team at British Airways, resulting in severe damage to the brand value of the company and an increase in customer dissatisfaction.
It is time that the executive team at BA addressed these issues, in order to reverse the damage that it has inflicted on its brand value and customer loyalty.
Sent to BA, still chasing the missing airmiles!
"I would appreciate an update as to the status of this please.
I am on the Beijing to London flight tomorrow 11th, and will follow this up by other means if necessary when back in UK.
I will be on the BA Beijing to London flight on the 11th, feel free to say hello.
The Times reports that British Airways faces paying damages of millions of pounds to passengers whose baggage it has lost. US law firm Hagens Berman Sobolo Shapiro has filed a class action complaint at the US District Court in Seattle arguing that the airline has not given its customers notice of what it claims is an "inadequate baggage handling system" and that a £770-per-passenger limit on baggage compensation should not apply.
The "passenger infrastructure" on the plane was worn and dated. Seat 2F near to my seat needed two crew members to physically perform a mid air repair, in order for the head rest section to work.
The menu offered soup, yet none was actually available. Why? Seemingly the soup was never delivered to the plane, as it could not get through security in time! This is more than a little odd, as the plane was 30 minutes late for boarding.
Again, despite telling BA before about this, there was no chutney onboard for the curry. I made do with marmalade.
The cabin temperature was too cold.
The crew were helpful and courteous. However, those that I spoke to confessed that they were fed up with having to apologise to customers for the failures of the company to meet the expectations of the customers.
I understand that the much lauded "roll out" of the new cabins and in flight entertainment systems has hit a snag. Seemingly there is one British Airways plane crossing the Atlantic that has an in flight entertainment system that does not work. That must make an "amusing" six hours for the hapless customers onboard that particular flight!
The inflight entertainment system was good 15 years ago, but now looks dated and well past its prime. The roll out of the new system needs to be completed with haste.
BA need to understand that the customers, and indeed the staff, are fed up with the ongoing quality issues.
"Just touching base with you on this.
I will be flying with BA this Saturday to Beijing (booking ref *****) and I would appreciate this matter being sorted out before I go away.
Now here's a funny thing, concerning the price quoted on the BA website for a first class return flight London/Beijing.
I was quoted a price of over £6500, were I to book a BA flight using the BA website.
However, the travel agency that I use quoted me a price of £4900 for the same flights. That is a saving of approximately 25%.
I wonder why there is such a discrepancy in quotes, given that the travel agency would still have to make a commission?
Needless to say, I made the reservation using the travel agency rather than the BA site.
BA finally show some flexibility, by telling me that my itinerary will suffice. They of course still refuse to confirm that, had they the incilination, they could verify that we were on the flight (without the need for any domcumentation from me).
Thank you again for your contact.
I would still appreciate an answer to my question though.
I'm afraid I am unable to open attachments withins emails due to security reasons. Can you please send or fax a copy of your itinerary to me.
"Please advise fax number, thanks"
Needless to say, I received no confirmation of the safe receipt of the fax.
Or fax me on 01787 881 405.
Once received I can update your account.
"Thank you for your note.
Given that we both had our BA executive numbers registered at both legs of the journey (it was a BA flight and BA check in), and that your records will clearly show that we were on both flights, why are you unable to upload the miles?
I'm afraid I am unable to confirm that you travelled on your missing flights without you providing me with your boarding passes and ticket stubs. So without this information I will be unable to add your missing flights to your Executive Club account.
If you would like your missing flights added to your account, please provide me with the relevant information.
"Thank you for your prompt response.
Does this mean that were there to be a request for information (such as passenger names) made by eg the security services/government, in relation to a security matter, that BA would be unable to provide them with that information?
You are required to keep records are you not, of the names of people on your flights?
I am sorry to learn that your flights did not track to your account. This should automatically happen when you quote your Executive Club number at the time of booking or at check-in. This is providing that the name on your Executive Club membership card and the name on your booking, match exactly.
As advised earlier, the flight(s) you are claiming for were operated by a partner airline, we are unable to update your account without copies of the boarding passes and ticket stubs from the flight(s) in question. This allows us to verify the information before crediting your account.
We always recommend you save your ticket receipts and boarding passes until the flights have been added to your account, in case of discrepancy.
Thank you for emailing us and we hope to resolve this swiftly for you.
British Airways Executive Club "
We did book in using our correctly registered executive account numbers etc.
Therefore, re my original question, why has the system not tracked our flights?
Re you not be "able" to update our accounts, without hard copy stubs, I find that a little hard to believe.
We are pre assigned seats when boarding the aircraft, you have records to show how many people are on the flight at take off, who they are and have records to satisfy security controls that show exactly who was on a flight.
You would not be allowed to operate or to fly to Spain, the USA etc without having such security controls.
Therefore you are well capable of verifying that we were on the flights.
If you need a little help, our flight booking was featured in The Times a while ago.
Do I really have to raise this matter with Walsh simply to get my miles added, something that your system should have done in the first place?
"Are you saying that even though we had our executive club numbers registered both at departure and return, and the flight was a BA flight, you will not upload the miles unless I provide all the stubs?
Why take the executive number and record it on the face of the stub, if you don't then upload it to your system?
All very well, but our executive club numbers were registered in the system with the ticket purchase.
"Please advise why the business class return flights that myself and my partner, made to Barcelona in July have not yet been uploaded onto our joint airmiles account?
· The standard of the Heathrow lounge was not what I would expect for first class; it does not compare favourably wrt the facilities, or indeed size, of lounges offered by other airlines eg Virgin.
· There were only two Internet workstations in the London and Beijing lounge. In the Beijing lounge, one of the Internet workstations was out of order.
· The theory of the London lounge, as best as I can make out, is that customers sit down and are served by BA staff. Unfortunately, those customers who did not sit in the immediate vicinity of the bar were not able to attract the attention of staff for service, as there weren't any staff in the non-bar area. I had to go to the bar to find anyone willing to serve me.
· The entertainment system on both flights did not work that well. The outgoing flight could not show the safety video, as the system had a malfunction. The quality of the picture on both flights was poor, and on some of the channels (outgoing and inbound) the video didn't work at all.
· The remote control in the armrest on my outgoing flight was stuck, and had to be extracted by the cabin crew with a butter knife. Very high tech!
· In trying to manually extend the footrest on my seat, I managed to impale and cut my finger on a sharp piece of metal that was protruding from underneath the edge of the footrest.
· One member of staff, who was so ashamed by the quality, told me with head bowed in shame that the system was "out of the ark". I would concur, as other airlines, such as Singapore and Virgin, used to have the same systems back in the early/mid nineties; they have long since upgraded them. I was advised that that the systems will be upgraded, but was also told that this same message has been repeated for quite some time. Having paid £6K for my ticket, hearing of future plans is of little interest to me.
· On both flights a curry was served, yet no chutneys were available. I improvised with marmalade. BA makes great efforts to tell me in the menu that the recipes are designed by world-class chefs. That being the case, why did I have to resort to using marmalade?
· The quality of the staff on both flights, and their customer care/attention, was good. They were all embarrassed by the poor state of the technology and equipment on board.
BA's last remaining asset that has not been tarnished by strikes, security delays, delays in general and out of date entertainment systems, would appear to be its staff. However, if they are embarrased and ashamed of their company I wonder how long you will retain their loyalty?
Reputations are hard to earn, but easy to lose.
In brief, I do not think that the "first class" description equates to the price I paid, or the competition that BA faces. I will be travelling on a more regular basis to Beijing over the coming months/years, but will be (subject to schedules) looking to other airlines to get me there and back.
In my view, there are a number of issues that you need to address if BA is to retain the much tested "loyalty" of their customers, whether they travel economy, business or first.
I would be interested to hear you views on the above, and what steps BA will be taking in the short term to address these issues.
Well done BA for further damaging their already badly soiled brand value.
I made a bold and futile attempt to contact their reservations line this morning, on 0870 850 9 850 (the number specified on their website).
Having pressed the various option buttons, and listened to the "tinny" music, I was informed that I had dialed the wrong number and was given a new number to dial.
Yes, that's right 0870 850 9 850!
I rang the Executive Club, and was told that in fact the number should be 0870 850 4 850 and that the BA website was wrong.
I had the very same experience.

The facility features a refrigerated 60' x 120' surface which will function as an ice rink in the winter, and a venue for street hockey and basketball the rest of the year.
The new Tillsonburg facility is named for J.L. Scott McLean, a local businessman and minor sports coach who passed away suddenly in 2016 after a snowmobiling accident.

God I just love this series! I absolutely loved Undeclared and didn't think Unspoken could top it, but OH MY GOSH, it is sooooooooo good! As you can see I got a review copy for this tour stop, but I had to go out and get my very own copy as soon as it was released - I loved it sooooooooo much! I will be picking up a paperback as well - so should you!
I love how this real difficult topic is handled and how easily the story reads. You will fall in love with these characters just as I have, I promise.
Just like with Undeclared, the writing in this book is great. Everything flows flawlessly and the style seems effortless. I loved everything about this book. I really like how you get to meet more of The Woodlands Guys... you really get to peak inside their world a little in this installment and see how they all work together and a little bitty bit of some story out of them. I can't wait to see more about each of them.
Now more about this installment - LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! I loved this story from the beginning - no kidding! I was sucked in on page one and wasn't available to anyone while I was reading... seriously, my family didn't like this book because I was oblivious to the real world - SUCKED ME RIGHT IN! I read this book in two settings, only because I had to come to work... yep otherwise I would have been dead to the world while I finished reading.
Characters - they are great, both of them. I love how you have both male and female characters in this book and they are both awesome. Usually you have one really strong and the other not so much, but not in this book! AnnMarie, "AM", is amazing. She's skittish and brave at the same time, emotional inside but a stone cold exterior like nothing bothers her. I think so many girls/women will identify with AM. She is plagued by the aftermath of a decision she made and rumors that resulted from it. I love that this is the story of AnnMarie and her learning to live again. Bo is just like AnnMarie in many ways. They both pretend, they both learn a lot through this journey. I love them together! I absolutely LOVE that they are friends before anything develops for them. And just that - their relationship DEVELOPS! It is awesome to watch happen. I love how much Bo is seeing about AM without her even knowing it, of course she does the same after a while too.
I just love this unexpected pair and their journey through the book.
LOVE IT - Go get it and check them out!
side note - yes this is the second installment, but you don't have to read Undeclared to get Unspoken. You should read them both, but you can read them out of order and be ok.

Q: Auto filing names of a City if the Country name is given I am working on a site which prvides location based searching of users i.e. user  can query system like "Give me the list of users staying at locality, city" and the system responds with the list of user names.
For that I want to provide user one combo box to select the country name and a text box to type in the few letters of City name, based on the text in the text box the system suggests the city names, i.e. for letter 'A' the system suggests all city names containing letter 'A', and the results are filtered thereafter.
I have searched for a while now few recommend storing data in my server, few recommend using a web service, api or something like that. I dont want to store data in my server since storing lacs of frequently changing data is nt a wise option, and if I go for third party api, library or service how to provide autofill feature on that....
Please suggest me some ways to accomplish this task,
Thanks in advance,

After researching on various possible solutions I finally decided to use geo-autoComplete api from Google, Fortunately the documentation helped me to develop a working demo very fast.
However it faiils in restricting the suggestions to some specific Region/ Country, Autocomplete (google.maps.places.Autocomplete) class has a method setBounds(LatLngBounds) which can be used to filter the suggestions, How can I get the LatLngBounds object from LatLng object ? and How can I increase the number of suggestions given by auto complete ? plz help....

Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic mycotic infection, most common in the tropics and subtropics, following traumatic fungal implantation.
A 72 year-old farmer was admitted to Luang Namtha Provincial Hospital, northern Laos, with a growth on the left lower leg which began 1 week after a forefoot leech bite 10 years previously. He presented with a cauliflower-like mass and plaque-like lesions on his lower leg/foot and cellulitis with a purulent tender swelling of his left heel. Twenty-two Chrysomya bezziana larvae were extracted from his heel. PCR of a biopsy of a left lower leg nodule demonstrated Fonsecaea pedrosoi, monophora, or F. nubica. He was successfully treated with long term terbinafin plus itraconazole pulse-therapy and local debridement.
Chromoblastomycosis is reported for the first time from Laos. It carries the danger of bacterial and myiasis superinfection. Leech bites may facilitate infection.
Chromoblastomycosis is a worldwide chronic infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, most commonly found in tropical and subtropical areas. It is mainly caused by the fungal genera Fonsecaea, Phialophora and Cladophialophora that are saprophytes in soil and plants [1–3]. Fonsecaea pedrosoi is the commonest agent found in tropical rain forests . Infection occurs by traumatic cutaneous implantation of fungi , for example by skin abrasion from wood or thorns and rarely by an insect or leech bite [4, 5]. The lower limbs are most commonly infected and the nodular and/or verrucous plaques can develop centripetal satellite lesions. The most frequent complication is bacterial secondary infection, but malignancies have also been recorded [1, 2, 6]. Diagnosis can be made by direct microscopic demonstration of pathognomonic brown sclerotic cells (also called fumagoid or muriform cells) in skin scrapings [1–3].
An otherwise healthy 72-year-old Khmu farmer was admitted in August 2009 at Luang Namtha Provincial Hospital, northern Lao PDR (Laos), with a painful massive growth on his lower left leg, preventing walking. A red nodule developed one week after a leech bite on the dorsum of the left foot and over ten years, this painless, non-itchy growth spread up to his knee. Three days before admission he developed a painful left ankle with discharge from his heel. On examination he was oriented, afebrile (axillary 37.5°C) with normal vital signs but cauliflower-like masses and several centripetally verrucous oval plaque-like lesions on his left lower leg and foot, with erythema and warmth and a purulent ulcerative very tender swelling of his left heel (Figure 1 and 2).

He was thought initially to have leprosy or skin cancer, but skin scrapings from the left lower leg lesions revealed typical brownish, round, thick-walled, multiseptate sclerotic cells in a wet film, confirmed with the 10% potassium hydroxide technique [1–3] (Figure 3 and 4). Left lower leg and foot radiographs showed no evidence of bone involvement. He was treated with oral cloxacillin and metronidazole for 1 week, followed by co-trimoxazole, and local iodine-based antiseptics. Bacterial culture of wound discharge grew Escherichia coli susceptible to co-trimoxazole by disc diffusion testing (according to CLSI guidelines ). During wound dressing on day 3, 22 maggots (fly larvae) were discovered in the heel wound (Figure 5, Additional file 1) and identified as third instar larvae of the Old World screwworm fly, Chrysomya bezziana (Diptera: Calliphoridae) . Due to the pathognomonic microscopic findings of sclerotic cells he was diagnosed with chromoblastomycosis and started on itraconazole 400 mg/d monthly pulse therapy  on day 18 and a surgical debridement of all skin lesions was performed on day 21.

In order to confirm the diagnosis, and as fungal cultures were not available in Laos, identification by PCR was attempted at Tübingen from heated and ethanol-treated tissue. DNA extraction was performed from each of three tissue samples of about 3 mm in diameter from the patient's lower leg. Fungal DNA was amplified with two different PCR-protocols, using primers of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 and 4 region [9, 10] and the conserved 18S subunit of the rRNA gene  with 2.5 μl of DNA-extract applied in each PCR reaction. PCR-products were subsequently sequenced as described  and compared with Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). PCR using ITS primers remained negative in all 3 samples, whereas 18S rRNA-PCR was positive in one of the 3 samples. Subsequent sequencing revealed 100% similarity with Fonsecaea pedrosoi, monophora, and F. nubica. The sequence was published in GenBank (accession number HQ616145).
After 4 months, oral terbinafin (500 mg/day, later 750 mg/day) for 9 months was added. Local terbinafin ointment was also applied for 6 months. The patient's left lower leg and foot healed without lesions but with some residual swelling (Figure 6).

Chromoblastomycosis has been reported from neighbouring Thailand and China [5, 12], and it is likely to be endemic in Laos. Its slow growth and variable appearance may result in confusion with skin cancer, eczema, psoriasis, or leprosy, as in our patient. Direct microscopic identification of muriform/sclerotic cells is diagnostic [1–3] but doctors have to be aware of this differential diagnosis. Treatment remains challenging, especially in financially-poor countries. Antifungals needed to be given for at least 6-12 months, often combined with physical treatments such as surgery, cryotherapy and thermotherapy. Cure rates range from 15% to 80% . Despite being the most common aetiological agent, F. pedrosoi appears to be less sensitive to antifungal therapy than either C. carrionii or P. verrucosa [1, 2]. However, terbinafin has shown high tolerability and efficacy especially against F. pedrosoi, even in imidazole-refractory cases  and dual therapy with itraconazole and terbinafin is recommended . Which species of Fonsecaea was responsible remains unclear in our patient. The gene sequence analysis using 18S primers, in contrast to ITS primers, which have been used for Fonsecaea species identification in pure cultures [14–16], cannot distinguish between Fonsecaea pedrosoi, F. monophora and F. nubica . The finding that only one sample was positive with 18S primers might be due to a very low fungal load or an alteration during the sample processing and transport from remote northern Laos. PCR with 18S primers may have a higher sensitivity for the detection of Fonsecaea spp. from biopsy material compared to ITS primers, however, PCR diagnosis of Fonsecaea spp. is not yet standardized.
It is possible that the patient acquired the infection via the leech bite or subsequently through the wound. The injection of platelet inhibitors during leech bites  might impair the local skin immunity increasing the risk for fungal infections. The coagulation system overlaps with the immune system and many acute-phase proteins of inflammation are also involved in the coagulation process. Platelet microbiocidal proteins and konocidins have shown to exert strong efficacy against bacteria and fungi . To our knowledge this is the second report of chromoblastomycosis associated with a leech bite . Since leeches are typically found in humid tropical areas, as is chromoblastomycosis, there might be an important but overlooked association. Leech bites have been associated with Aeromonas hydrophilia infections, complicating 2.4% to 20% of medical leech therapies , but might also be involved in the pathogenesis of other tropical soil-related infections, such as Chromobacterium violaceum septicaemia . Ingested blood in leeches' digestive tract can contain various pathogens, including HIV and hepatitis B, that, although unproven, could be re-injected into another host by regurgitation during the manipulation of leech removal .
Bacterial superinfection is a relatively common complication of chromoblastomycosis [1, 2] but myiasis does not appear to have been reported. Cochliomyia hominivorax, Chrysomya bezziana, and Wohlfahrtia magnifica are the most common flies worldwide causing human wound myiasis. Chrysomya bezziana is the most common cause in India and Southeast Asia . Although scientific evidence from Laos is scarce, old clinical descriptions indicate that myiasis has been a common poverty-related complication of neglected wounds in remote areas of Laos . Massive tissue destruction, bone erosion, and death can occur from infestation by Old World screwworm larvae . Our patient had only three of the reported predisposing factors for wound myiasis including advanced age, poor social condition and hygiene, but did not have diabetes, vascular occlusive disease, alcoholism, mental/psychiatric illness, or physical disability . However, the skin lesions of chromoblastomycosis could facilitate fly eggs deposition and might represent another risk factor for human wound myiasis. Although a potentially serious complication, the larval infestation and associated pain had the benefit here of prompting our patient to seek medical attention, which led to the root cause of his ten-year condition being successfully diagnosed and treated.
Chromoblastomycosis is reported for the first time from Laos and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic skin diseases. Leech bites might facilitate infection and bacterial superinfection and myiasis may occur.

These songs were written, produced and performed by Ribbon Road, musicians from the North East. They are part of the project 'Song Lines to Impact and Legacy' and come from Brenda and Geoff's experiences in 6 Ghost Labs, to which the songs correspond.
Ribbon Road are influenced by a long tradition of folk music and dissenting ballads and sing beautifully crafted songs that draw on these, whilst remaining relevant to our ever-changing times.
As part of the 'Song Lines' project, Ribbon Road have performed at the New Vic Theatre in Newcastle-Under-Lyme. The video ballad has been seen by several hundred people and promoted by participants from the Ghost Labs, whilst the songs have featured on Steve Pool's films and the radio documentary 'Songlines and Social Haunting' that has reached international audiences of thousands through community radio.
For our 'Song Lines' to be formed, between and within our participants' communities, the songs of Ribbon Road were translated in to different languages.
'The Stars Look Down On Horden' was written in response to the Ghost Lab in this ex-mining town in the Durham coalfields. For members of the Ghost Lab in another former mining area, this time in North Staffordshire, it was translated in to Arabic.


In 2016, a woman gave birth to the first ever baby with three parents. Yes, you read that correctly. After a Jordanian couple lost two children to the fatal Leigh Syndrome, a disease in the mitochondrial DNA, they sought out Professor John Zhang of the New Hope Fertility Center in New York, who worked on the case in Mexico due to legal complications in his home country.
Soon after, the scientist set out to produce a healthy baby for the two. But interestingly, the solution actually came from the inclusion of a third. With a process called pronuclear transfer, Zhang injected healthy mitochondria from a female donor into the mother's egg cell. Then, he fertilized the egg and sperm, creating a genetically unique human being from three parents and their DNA.
Two years later, that child is over a year old and living a healthy life. And the mother, who believed herself to be effectively infertile due to the fatal disease she carries, is raising her own, growing baby boy.
The genetic makeup of the boy is mostly that of the two parents. Of the over 20,000 genes found in the egg cell, only 37 of them are present in the mitochondria. Thus, replacing a damaged mitochondrion with a healthy one from another woman only inputs 37 of the donor's genes into the baby.
Not long after the Mexican success story, a number of scientists from across the globe sought to reproduce the effects. By doing so, they believed they could help women with severe mitochondrial diseases be able to still have children.
Most notably, efforts began in the United Kingdom and Ukraine. In fact, Doctor Valery Zukin, head of the Ukraine based Nadiya Clinic, boasts to have already helped create four babies in this method. He believes that his efforts are helpful to humanity, especially those who are not able to have their own children.
Zukin is likely talking about the countries, including the United States, that have banned the practice. In 2017, the FDA warned against the practice, stating they must run their own clinical trial before legalizing it. In a letter to Zhang, they declared that he may not continue his practices in the U.S.
Such actions have clearly not stopped Zhang, who now partners with Zukin in their joint company, DL-Nadiya. Zukin claims that through his institute, he now has three more pregnancies.
Across the continent, United Kingdom researchers today are in the process. This year, the U.K.'s Human Fertilisation and Embreology Authority (HFEA) approved two cases for Newcastle's Fertility Center at Life to undertake.
This move marks the first time that a country officially sanctions this procedure. In the United States, the law forced the action south of the border. Zukin, on the other hand, has yet to face either approval or rejection from the Ukranian government.
These two British babies may be born to three parents as early as this year. Though they will not be the first to be born in this manner, it appears they also will be far from the last.
A common talking point in many political debates is the extreme prices of many medical drugs. Left wingers like to blame "greedy capitalism" for the high prices, and advocate for some sort of government program that will increase the size of government in an attempt to cap drug prices. In reality, capitalism is the tool that must be used to bring medical drug prices back down to affordable levels.
The truth is, the US is not a true capitalist free market. Rather, it operates under a system of crony capitalism. Crony capitalism is a system in which representatives agree to give benefits to certain corporations in exchange for campaign contributions. These benefits may take the form of purchases by the government, limiting the corporation's competition in the market through regulation, and creating loopholes in regulation or taxation. These benefits are paid for using taxpayer money, while the representatives receive financial backing for their campaigns or votes in their next election. Bureaucratic agencies like the FDA create regulations and policies which further cronyism.
A major source of cronyism exists in the FDA's requirements of extensive research and testing to be done on products it approves to be sold. These studies cost thousands of dollars to companies, which must be covered by increasing the prices of the drugs sold. However, Congress has created "Priority Review Vouchers", which reviews certain drugs at an expedited pace. These vouchers are incredibly valuable, because the development process for drugs takes many years.
The vouchers can be sold to corporations at a high prices due to their scarcity and the incredible benefit of having the review process sped up. If a company had their new drug approved before any others, they will have no competition in the marketplace for several years and are free to raise their price as high as they like. The FDA has the power to create monopolies, a power that no agency or branch of government should have.
So what's the solution? Open up the markets. Competition is what drives prices down to affordable levels, and there is no competition in a crony capitalist system. Before the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, the U.S. federal government had control over airline fares, routes and market entry of new airlines. This severely limited the competition in the marketplace to just a few airlines, but soon after the Act was signed, several new ones entered the market. Without the Civil Aeronautics Board to protect them from competition, airlines were forced to set their prices through supply and demand, with competition lowering the equilibrium price of airfare. By deregulating the airfare markets and preventing special interests from lobbying an airline regulatory agency, airfare has become cheaper for consumers.
The same must happen with the way that the market for medical drugs is regulated. The FDA must be abolished, and competition in the market will flourish. Prices will drop due to the influx of competition and life saving drugs will become more affordable to consumers.
A concern of supporters of the FDA is that without it, unsafe and potentially dangerous drugs could slip into the market. However, this can be refuted on the basis that no business has an incentive to create a harmful drug. If harm is done to a consumer, they can sue the business and claim compensation for the damages.
The abolition of the FDA would unleash the power of markets to create and develop new, revolutionary drugs at affordable prices. An effect similar to those seen after the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 would be seen, and bring an end to the crony capitalism enabled by the FDA.
