I'm pleased to announce that my new novella The Factory was published on 24th September and launched at FantasyCon this past weekend by Hersham Horror Books.
"[A] skilful, gradual escalation of detail, a suggestiveness reminiscent of Ramsey Campbell."
- Gary Fry
Twenty years ago at college, Martin, Paul, Jane and Gwen were members of the GLUE Club - the Gaffney Legendary Urban Explorers - run by the charismatic Tom. Now, following his mysterious death, they agree to meet up again and undertake one final exploration to honour his name.
Aside from Paul who never left, none of them has been back to Gaffney since and the reunion is awkward, re-opening old wounds. As they begin to explore the long-abandoned Pocock Factory, it seems they might be intruding on something better left alone. As they succumb, one by one, to the spirits in the darkness, it quickly becomes a battle to see who will survive the night...
The central idea for this came to me in August 2015 when I was approached to write a short story for an anthology. I was working on other projects at the time but by December I had the bare bones of the story in place and then the anthology collapsed. By then, however, I'd fallen in love with the idea and when Peter Mark May at Hersham Horror Books asked me in March for a novella, I pitched this to him and he liked it. Bits and pieces attached themselves to the project as time went on (it took me a while to have it as a group of people going to the factory to honour their recently deceased friend) and by the time I was free to write it, I was excited. Written between April and July, this ran a lot longer than I thought it would (it's over 34k words) and got a lot nastier, but that was my intention so it worked for the best.
When I spoke with Pete, I told him my main goal was to make this a proper horror novella. Drive had shown me a different route (and the fact it got nominated for a BFS Award made me sit up and take notice), which I explored further with the soon to be published Polly and so I decided this should be a way to clear the decks, an old-school-shocker before I looked towards working on a dark thriller.
My cast were really put through the wringer (I explained the concept to my old friend and pre-reader David Roberts and we had a fine time one-upping each other with gruesome demises) and the fate that befalls the character closest to me was particularly gruelling to write (but good fun, at the same time). The Factory itself was my own invention - the location is an abandoned boot-and-shoe factory in Rothwell that I pass on my daily walk - but I used some reference books to get the layout right (though, in the end, I twisted everything to my own advantage). I also added a canal to Gaffney and included a couple of nods to my older works (including my novel In The Rain With The Dead).
I grew to like Martin, Jane, Paul and Gwen - collectively known as the GLUE club - but I also had a lot of fun giving them grief as they explored ever deeper into The Factory.

The Gaffney Legendary Urban Explorers - the Glue Club for short - had been Tom's idea but, to Paul's way of thinking, most of the good ones back then were. A force of nature at Gaffney Tech, Paul had wanted to get to know him better from the moment he saw him across the crowded refectory, holding court about some pop band or another and bursting into bits of the song in question when it helped his argument. They had a couple of classes together - Tom confident, gregarious and hilarious, Paul much less so - fell into easy conversation and began to occupy a similar orbit. Away from the hubbub of social student life, Tom could be intense and serious, keen to ask questions and understand, fully aware Paul was smarter. Paul revelled in it, looking forward to the nights they sat up late, drinking and putting the world to rights. Both young men were interested in architecture, hated Brutalism and loved the Victorian factories that dotted Gaffney and when one was scheduled to be turned into flats, they decided to explore it. It had been a fun experience Tom was eager to repeat. He dropped a few hints, put up a couple of flyers and within a fortnight, he'd formed a club. Paul wasn't keen on the idea of sharing his new-found friend, but enjoyed the fact his social circle had widened and, after tolerating the two girls and other bloke, had grown to like them.
The club met infrequently, taking on perhaps three or four explorations in an academic year, but met for drinks two or three times a month.
Paul had missed the group ever since he left college and following Tom's death, he'd found it hard to focus on much else, as all thoughts of his old friend centred back towards the idea of urban exploration. It had been Paul who'd let Tom know about the Pocock Factory - for years, Tom's holy grail - and now it had somehow taken his life.
The idea played on his mind. He'd taken to going for a walk after his dinner and found, on most nights, his route took him past the Pocock factory to the canal. The first couple of times he'd tried to rationalise it - after all, wasn't it kind of ghoulish to visit the place his old friend had lost his life - but then just accepted it. There wasn't anything ghoulish about it, he just wanted to be here, to occupy the same space and pass on his best wishes.
When Tom's mum rang with the details of the funeral, the idea took further shape though it was another couple of nights before he had it clear enough in his mind what he wanted to say without telling everything.
That night, he sat at the small desk in the corner of the lounge and looked out the window at the common. A group of kids were playing football with far too many players on each side and the smallest child in goal. Older kids, perhaps late teenagers, were playing proper games on the pitches either side of them.
Turning his attention back to the flat, he looked at the line of photographs above the desk. Most were of family - in a fit of pique, he'd smashed his favourite of him and Jenny when the divorce papers came through - but he couldn't imagine ever taking down the one of his college friends.
Jane and Gwen were holding an A4 sheet of paper that Tom had scrawled Glue Club on and the three lads - him, Tom and Martin - lined up behind them. They were all dressed for Urbex - dark clothes, helmets with torches and gloves - and all looked happy. The picture was taken, almost twenty years ago, on the night they explored Bentley's cinema on Russell Street. Locally notorious, a woman had been kidnapped and held there briefly before most of the building was destroyed in a fire. They'd found nothing unusual on their exploration, apart from a windowless room with glass all over the floor, but it had been exciting.
Glue Club and excitement, two things sadly lacking in Paul's life. He had a job he enjoyed, enough social life to keep him busy and a flat he didn't want but - thanks to the divorce settlement and having bought the family home at the right time - was mostly his. He missed the life and friends he'd had in college and was looking forward to seeing them again, though he'd have preferred any other circumstance to the one he found himself in - he still couldn't believe he'd never see Tom again.
He'd written a draft of the email that afternoon and now he was editing it, his fingers braced over the keyboard.
As everyone is coming to Gaffney for the funeral, I had a thought of how to give Tom a nice send-of. Do you remember back in the day, he was adamant that one day the Glue Club would explore the Pocock Factory near the canal? How about we do that for him? Nothing too strenuous, I'll provide the equipment, just a quick look around the building to say a final goodbye then we'll head for home.
Was that any good? Would they share his enthusiasm? He looked out the window and saw the big game of football had broken up into several smaller games, which didn't even look like five-a-side.
The email wouldn't look any better if he left it five minutes or five hours, he decided and pressed send.
By ten o'clock they'd all responded, thanking him for a wonderful idea and a great gesture for an old friend.
Paul switched off his laptop and went for a bath.

Fierce the Conflict: The moving stories of how eight Chinese Christians suffered for Jesus Christ and remained faithful
Earn 100 points upon purchasing this product.
By Norman H. Cliff
Much is known in the West about the miraculous survival and rapid growth of the church in China in the half century following Liberation but relatively little is known about the courageous stand that many individual Christians took in the difficult days of the "Accusation Meetings" and the traumatic ten years of the Cultural Revolution.
Fierce the conflict relates the hardship and struggle of eight believers whose faith was tested through periods of persecution, imprisonment and forced labour. These carefully documented stories illustrate the sustaining grace of God and will challenge readers to examine their own fidelity to Christ.
The author, Dr. Norman Cliff, was born in China to missionary parents and his personal knowledge of the country and some of the believers profiled in this volume makes the telling of these stories that much more personal. This book will open our eyes and heart to the work of God in the vast country of China.
From the reviewers: In these stories one can sense the enormous courage and determination which people are capable of displaying, with God's help, not only in moments of crisis, but over decades.

We haven't talked a lot about food and nutrition around Catacombs yet. Not to worry, that time is coming. All the work you do in the gym can easily be undone by poor decisions in the food department. I'll save the soapbox lecture for another day, but suffice it to say that I believe most of what we were taught about nutrition from the USDA is bogus. The mainstream media is starting to catch on to this concept as well, particularly when it comes to how saturated fat has been wrongly vilified over the past 30 years. Check out this very insightful article from the Wall Street Journal on how our country got this so wrong and why we are sicker and fatter as a nation than ever before.
The BBQ sauce on these ribs is the villain here...not the ribs themselves.


When you have the proper attachments for a sewing machine and know how to use them, your productivity and creativity can soar. A walking foot can help speed up your projects and keep them running smoothly.
A walking foot--or feed foot--is a sewing machine attachment that has a set of teeth on the underside that helps guide fabric while the machine is in operation.
A walking foot includes a fork-shaped extension arm that fits over the needle clamp. Some models also come with removable pin guides and interchangeable soles.
The walking foot attaches behind the needle, on the presser foot cone. Fit the extension arm over the needle clamp and secure the foot clamp.
The grip on the underside of the walking foot provides greater control while you feed fabric through the machine. The sewing machine propels the walking foot back and forth at the same pace as the feed dog underneath the fabric.
Use a walking foot for sewing with multiple layers of fabric, quilting, sewing with plaid or striped fabric, or feeding slippery or thick fabric through the machine. The walking foot keeps layers from shifting and helps keep striped and plaid fabric straight.

Kevin Durant Makes History
Stephen Curry goes out, Kevin Durant comes in. Injuries don't derail the Golden State Warriors, who have a lot of ways to score.
On a night when neither Curry nor Klay Thompson suited up, Durant returned to the Warriors lineup after missing three games with a calf strain.
Just before halftime of Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Durant, 29, scored his 20,000th career point in the NBA. It was his 25th of the game and it put him in the record books.
Only LeBron James had reached the 20,000-point plateau before turning 30. That's good company to keep. And the company gets even better.
Only five players scored 20,000 points before they were 30 – the other three are Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan.
Now in his 11th season, Durant has averaged more than 25 points a game in the last 10. He was also the MVP of last year's NBA Finals.
The Warriors always find someone to pick up the slack. Their roster may be stacked, but injuries seem to constantly bite. They started their 14th different lineup of the season against the Clippers, who themselves are no strangers to injury. And yet the Warriors still have the NBA's best record, even after a 125-106 loss in
which the Clips' Lou Williams stole the show with 50 points, eclipsing Durant's 40, which tied his best in a Warriors uniform.

Serbia to get third Chinese-built motorway
GCR Staff
The government of Serbia has signed a €606m deal with China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) to build a 48km motorway in the north of the country, See News reports.
The Fruskogorski Corridor road will run between the Vojvodina towns of Ruma and Novi Sad, and will include a bridge over the Danube river, as well as a 3.5km tunnel under the Fruska Gora national park, according to a government statement issued Tuesday.
The road will be connected to the A1 motorway that runs between the Hungarian and Romanian borders, as well as the future Ruma-to-Loznica motorway.
When complete, the Fruskogorski Corridor will link the Trans-European transport corridors X and IV and provide a shortcut between Bosnia and Romania.
Infrastructure minister Zorana Mihajlovic proposed the road in 2015, and planned to begin in 2016 if funding could be arranged.
Then, in 2017, she announced that the project would go ahead in 2018, but these plans were also dependent on funding.
Finally, in August 2020 Mihajlovic announced that a loan had been agreed with the Export-Import Bank of China.
CRBC, a subsidiary of China Communications Construction Company, is presently working on a €450m, 31km section of motorway between the central Serbian towns of Preljina and Pozega (see further reading).
In November last year, the Government of Serbia awarded a $504.2m (€450m) contract to CRBC for construction of the Preljina-Pozega motorway section.

Norway's Giant Johan Sverdrup Oil Field Now Fully On Stream
Norwegian energy company Equinor has announced the start of production for Phase 2 of its giant Johan Sverdrup oil field development in the North Sea.
"The entire Johan Sverdrup field is now on stream," says Geir Tungesvik, Equinor's executive vice president for Projects, Drilling & Procurement. "This is a red-letter day for us and our partners, Aker BP, Petoro and TotalEnergies, but also for Norway and Europe. Johan Sverdrup accounts for large and important energy deliveries, and in the current market situation, most of the volumes will go to Europe."
Johan Sverdrup is the third largest oil field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and the largest development in three decades, with recoverable volumes of 2.7 billion barrels of oil equivalent. The Johan Sverdrup field will plateau at 720,000 barrels of oil per day, potentially increasing to 755,000 per day, equivalent to 6 to 7 percent of the daily oil demand in Europe. More than 90% of deliveries from Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 will go to Norway, meeting about a third of Norway's total oil demand.
Equinor says the full-field development of Johan Sverdrup has a break-even price of less than US $15 per barrel.
Oil from Johan Sverdrup is transported by pipeline to Mongstad for transshipment, while gas is piped to Kårstø.
The Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 project consists of a new platform, five new subsea systems, 28 new wells, a new module for the existing riser platform, and facilities to send power from shore to the Utsira High area, where the Johan Sverdrup field is located in central part of the North Sea approximately 65 km northeast of the Sleipner fields.
The Johan Sverdrup field has been developed in two phases, with Phase 1 coming on stream on October 5, 2019. The field reduces its emissions by receiving power from shore via cables from Haugsneset, to the north of Stavanger. The first cable currently supplies the first four platforms on the Johan Sverdrup field with electricity. The new cable supplies the fifth platform and the rest of the Utsire High installations.
"In combination, this reduces CO2 emissions by a total of 1.2 million tonnes per year, equivalent to 2,5 percent of Norway's annual emissions," says Marianne M. Bjelland, Vice President of exploration and production for the Johan Sverdrup and Martin Linge areas. "Electrification is an important measure to further developing the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) towards the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
"I am proud that we have now put the entire Johan Sverdrup field on stream in a safe and secure manner. We will deliver stable energy volumes for several decades, while contributing to Norwegian value creation for a long time to come," she adds.
Partners in the project include Equinor, serving as operator and holding a 42.6267% stake, along with Aker BP (31.5733%), Petoro AS (17.36%) and TotalEnergies EP Norge AS (8.44%).

'Mpanatigghi biscuits are a specialty of the town of Modica in Sicily, and have a long history, as they were first brought to Sicily during the Spanish rule in the 16th century. In fact, the Sicilian dialect name 'Mpanatigghi derives from the Spanish word empanada.
'Mpanatigghi are little half-moon shaped biscuits (or cookies) with a thin crust, that are stuffed with a mixture of sugar, chocolate, almonds, lemon peel, egg, cinnamon and vanilla, plus a secret ingredient that is impossible to detect – minced beef! If anything could be more unusual, these biscuits originally contained wild game. In case you are breathing a sigh of relief that you are vegetarian, there is also another version that substitutes the meat with eggplant.
If these sound revolting, it is best to try them without knowing what you are eating, and in my experience everyone loves them- it's only after being told what's inside that people turn up their noses. It says something about food prejudices, no?
One of the best places to sample 'Mpanatigghi is the historic Bonjauto Chocolate Shop, in Modica. This is a favorite stop on our eastern Sicily walking and cooking tour where we taste lots of different chocolate items. And just for comparison, I recently tried the 'Mpanatigghi from Casalindolci, which is convenient if you are staying at the Hotel Palazzo Failla, and was impressed with the thin crisp dough and the fragrant stuffing. Tip: Because non-Sicilians find this sweet to be unpronounceable, 'Mpanatigghi are usually ordered by pointing at them.
What a sweet memory , I recall as a little girl trying to stuff as many as possible into my mouth and hiding others in my apron that went over my dress. Had no idea what they were called and all but forgot about them as my mother never made them here in Canada.
I think it was my Dad's mom that made them.
Nell- Glad to hear this post brought back sweet memories. Where were you as a child eating these?

'Permission sought to denotify 35K hectares of deemed forest': G Jagadeesha
Udupi, Dec 21, 2019: Development activities in the district have suffered since 68,794 hectares of land comes under deemed forest. The government has moved the Supreme Court seeking to drop 34,918 hectares from the deemed forest, Deputy Commissioner G Jagadeesha has said Deccan Herald.
Speaking at phone-in programme organised at Prajavani office here on Thursday, the deputy commissioner said that as per the orders of the Supreme Court, deemed forest land cannot be allotted to anyone. Title deeds in respect of lands in the said area could be issued to the poor only if the SC allows the government's request, he added.
The deputy commissioner said that the sand shortage had assumed serious proportion in the district over the two years. However, sand mining has begun after addressing legal hurdles. "Sand extraction is not yet in full swing. I hope the shortage would be addressed completely in about six months."
He said that at present transportation of sand to other districts had been banned. The permission for transportation of sand to other districts will be issued in the interest of transporters, and those dependent on sand mining, only after the sand needs of the district are met.
Since sand mining had been banned in the district for some years, people are purchasing sand in large quantities and stocking it. But, sand required for a huge work for a period of one month only could be stocked. If more quantity of sand is stocked, the district administration would conduct a raid and book a case, he warned.
The DC said that National Highway project was facing several hurdles. The problem relating to the acquisition of land at Tiger Circle near Manipal had been addressed and thus the project, which was on the back burner, will now gain momentum. The work near the railway bridge at Indrali is pending and consent for it would be obtained after holding a meeting with Railways authorities. The highway will soon be open till Manipal, he added.
Local people have aired different opinions on laying highway from Manipal to Parkala. While some have suggested a widening of the road, some have appealed for a new road. As planned, the nod has been granted for taking up work on a new route. The work would begin soon after land acquisition, the DC added.

Few things divide voters more than giving criminals the right to vote, even if they are former criminals.

Terry McAuliffe to use his executive power to extend voting rights to all 206,000 felons in his state. Even murderers, rapists and other violent felons will have their voting rights restored. Critics raise several objections. First, they say the governor, acting alone, does not have the authority to…

Smartphone technology has been operational for less than 10 years yet over two-thirds of the Australian population own a smartphone that actively links to a mobile network and most countries around the world report over 50% ownership of smartphones. Smartphone technology brings mobility and economical convenience in the form of a miniaturised computer that is rapidly changing the way people function. Most smartphone technology includes inbuilt sensors that can include gyroscopes, GPS, accelerometers, proximity switches, ambient light, barometer and video. Collectively these sensors and the emerging field of health and medical applications are being used to assess physical performance measures in both clinical and healthy settings. Measurement applications for clinical populations include balance and mobility testing using timed up and go test, six minute walk and sway balance. In addition there are several applications that have been reported to accurately measure joint range of motion. The accurate assessment of common strength and power measurements, such as 1RM strength, vertical jump height, rate of force development and sprint speed are also available to monitor physical performance. Another valuable aspect of smartphone technology is that all devices are network connected and can transmit information in real time. Recent research has highlighted there are over 40,000 health related applications available to smartphone consumers however many applications rely on proprietary algorithms, lack operational transparency, are mobile platform specific and have not been validated. The important question to answer revolves around smart technology used in exercise science is it a hit or a miss?

Sh76m hyacinth fighting machine lies idle
Sh76m hyacinth fighting machine wasting away
By DAVID WERE |

The Lake Victoria Environment Management Project (LVEMP) is on the spot over suspected irregularities in the procurement of a Sh76 million dredging machine.
The machine that is meant to remove the invasive water hyacinth from the lake lies idle as the weed spreads.
Environment and Natural Resources Cabinet Secretary Keriako Tobiko and LVEMP project manager Fransisca Owuor had a hard time yesterday when they appeared before the Regional Integration Committee of the National Assembly to explain why the machine acquired in 2016 is not in use.
LVEMP is largely funded by the World Bank but has been unable to deal with the intrusive weed about 21 years since it was established.
The MPs have also raised concerns that the LVEMP project has received over Sh4 billion from the World Bank for tree planting among other projects, but the impact is yet to be felt among the local community.
But it emerged that LVEMP procured the dredging machine well aware that it did not have the right specifications to deal with the weed that has made transportation of goods and fishing expeditions in the second largest fresh water lake in the world difficult.
The lake covers the three East African countries — Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
The failures at LVEMP forced the government to acquire another dredging vessel owned by a Ugandan firm, Mango Tree Group, which was unveiled by President Uhuru Kenyatta and Opposition leader Raila early this year. The machine is 70 metres long and weighs about 4,000 tonnes.
Though the supplier is demanding more to fix the unused dredger, the World Bank has given the implementing agency until April 30 to resolve the standoff with the ministry even as it suspended all projects in the lake basin region for stock-taking on the return on investments.
It also emerged that payments of up to 90 percent of the total cost were made to United Kingdom (UK) based Unit Export Limited, which supplied the machine even before it certified fit for use.
This was despite an inspection and acceptance committee voicing concerns that the machine failed to meet the specifications of the bid.
According to Mr Tobiko, the supplier had accepted there were flaws but made an about-turn after being asked to take remedial measures so that the machine can be put to intended use.

Americans spend more energy watching TV than on exercise
by Rich Dafter|Published December 27, 2009
Okay, I googled, "minutes spent exercising in U.S." and the second article was from an analysis by researches at the University of California, Berkeley. Since I want to give them full credit and a link back to their article, you can find it here. But just in case they take down the article at some future point, I also want to feature it in its entirety by pasting it below.
"Americans spend nine times as many minutes watching TV or movies as they do on sports, exercise and all other leisure-time physical activities combined, according to a sobering new analysis by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley.
When looking at which activities contributed more to energy expenditure among Americans, the researchers found that driving a car, watching TV and working in an office outranked sports and heart-pumping workouts. The study is due to be released this month in its final form in the new peer-reviewed publication International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, but a draft is currently available online.
"This study provides a wake-up call for the nation, particularly in light of rising obesity rates in this country," said lead author Linda Dong, who received her master's degree in epidemiology at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health. "A lot of people aren't fully aware of how sedentary their lives are. This paper shows that, as a population, leisure-time physical activities are at the bottom of our priority lists."
The authors point out that the study provides the first national scale, quantitative analysis of energy expenditure in the United States. The paper comes during an epidemic of obesity in this country, and at a time when federal health officials are reporting that poor diet and physical inactivity are quickly gaining on smoking as a cause of preventable deaths.
The UC Berkeley researchers used data from 7,515 adults questioned from 1992 to 1994 for the National Human Activity Pattern Survey (NHAPS). Those surveyed were asked to report everything they did and how long they did it during the prior 24 hours. More than 125,500 reports of activities were grouped into 255 categories that were similar in the energy required to do them.
The researchers used information on how many people reported doing each activity, how long they did it, and how much energy it took to do it. From this information, it was possible to estimate total energy expended on each activity.
The study found that, outside of sleeping, the largest collective contributor to energy expenditure among the population was "driving a car," followed by "office work" and "watching TV," partly because so many people reported those activities. In contrast, leisure-time physical activity, such as jogging or playing basketball, accounted for only 5 percent of the population's total energy expenditure.
When considering only the amount of time spent on an activity, the researchers found that, on average, Americans spent 170 minutes a day watching TV and movies, or nine times the number of minutes spent on all leisure-time physical activities combined. The average daily duration for driving a car was 101 minutes, nearly five times the amount spent on sports and other exercise.
The authors noted that cutting back on the time spent watching TV or movies would free up precious minutes for exercise. But they also put the blame on aspects of modern American life, noting that Americans work more hours per year than their counterparts in other developed countries.
According to statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor, workers in the United States clocked in 1,821 hours in 2001, while those in Germany logged 1,467 hours. In addition, the proportion of workers who commuted 30 or more minutes to their jobs increased from 19.6 percent in 1990 to 33.7 percent in 2000.
"People are supposed to work in 60 minutes a day of moderate physical activity, but given the way our society is now, we don't have a lot of extra time on our hands to go out and jog," said co-author Gladys Block, professor of epidemiology and public health nutrition at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health. "Maybe we ought to put more emphasis on integrating exercise and energy expenditure into our daily chores and things we have to do."
For instance, Block suggests sneaking more energy-consuming activities into our ordinary lives, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or parking the car farther away from the mall entrance. "They may not get the same cardiovascular benefit from those activities as from sustained aerobic exercise, but it may be enough to help with weight control," she said.
When the researchers looked at gender, they found that, in terms of the number of kilocalories burned per kilogram of body weight, the energy expenditure of women was only slightly lower than that of men. Women spend more energy on household related activities, such as cleaning the house or caring for children, than men do, but their total energy expenditure was similar on a kilogram for kilogram basis. Overall, men burn more calories throughout the day because they weigh more than women.
In fact, activities relating to household duties accounted for 33 percent of the energy expenditure for women compared with 20 percent for men.
"More women than men are still shouldering the burden of household chores," said Dong, who is now a doctoral student in epidemiology at the University of Washington. "Men also have a larger variety of activities that contribute to their energy expenditure. That suggests that women are spending more time on certain activities, like taking care of children, than men, and less time on leisure-time physical activity."
Among ethnic groups, African Americans were found to have the lowest percentage of total energy expended in leisure-time activities. Even when work-related physical activity was taken into account, energy expenditure was still lower among African Americans.
"This could be a reflection of the fact that more African Americans live in low-income neighborhoods that are less likely to have parks and safe places to walk and exercise," said Block.
Middle America did not fare well when data was broken down by region. The authors found a greater percentage of energy expenditure for sports and other exercise among people who lived in the Pacific (Arizona, California, Hawaii and Nevada) and New England regions (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont) compared with those in the Central states (Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska).
The researchers noted that the results represent a snapshot in time, and that certain activities may have changed since the survey was taken in the early 1990s. 'There's no evidence that Americans have become more physically active over the past decade,' said Dong. 'If anything, we've become more sedentary with the rise in popularity of certain video and computer games.'"

Wrigley Joins the Cannabis Industry
William "Beau" Wrigley Jr., succeeded his father and served as Chairman, President and CEO of the Wrigley Company, founded in 1891 and known for its gum products. In 2008, the Wrigley Company was sold to the privately held Mars, Incorporated.
During Beau's leadership, the Wrigley Company expanded its product portfolio through numerous acquisitions including Altoids and LifeSavers, reaching consumers in 180 countries.
Currently, Beau is President of Wychwood Asset Management LLC, an investment company that invests in a range of venture capital and private equity interests. Additionally, Beau serves on several boards of high-growth companies across the technology, media, and health and wellness spaces.
Beau announced in an August 6th press release, he will serve as chairman of the board for Surterra Wellness.
"I am thrilled to join the Surterra team and help drive their mission to build a best-in-class cannabis healthcare business. After extensive diligence, we determined that Surterra has the highest quality standards, best products, and most professional management team in the industry. We believe in the ability of cannabis to improve quality of life for patients across the country, and we are excited to build a global industry leader for the long term," Wrigley said.
"When I understood the massive benefits, it really changed my mind about the industry," Wrigley told Bloomberg. "You don't see too many opportunities to have that kind of an impact in an industry that is being created from scratch."
Founded in 2014, Surterra Wellness is one of the fastest growing and leading medical cannabis companies in the US. With licenses in Florida and Texas, Surterra is currently expanding into new state markets across the country as it builds the industry's broadest portfolio of brands trusted by patients.
"Surterra is proud to welcome Beau, a business leader who brings decades of world class experience and expertise in brand building, to Surterra Wellness," Surterra CEO Jake Bergmann stated. "Having a seasoned industry veteran like Beau intimately involved in building Surterra's business is exciting for the future of Surterra, our patients and the entire medical cannabis industry." Surterra will conduct clinical trials of anxiety, pain and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) drugs that contain cannabinoids."
Surterra Wellness closed a $65 million Series C equity fundraising round in July, led by Wrigley's direct investment arm. The round brings Surterra's total capital raised to over $100 million since 2015.
In addition to their anticipated partnerships and product development, Surterra will conduct clinical research trials related to cannabinoid treatment of anxiety, pain, and PTSD, as well as other significant health issues facing the country, with cannabinoids.
The company also plans to expand into new state markets across the country as it builds the industry's broadest portfolio of brands trusted by patients.
Beau appears to have done his research commenting on the difficulties and horrors of the cannabis industry.
"Everyone seems to be in there because they think they're going to make tons of money," Wrigley added. "Some will and some will be sorely surprised when they understand how complex it is."

ESPN Launches 3D Channel for World Cup But Few Can Watch
ESPN launched its 3D cable and satellite channel on Friday to show 25 matches from the World Cup soccer tournament for the first time ever. Perfect: broadcasting a sport Americans don't care about to a device none of us have. That's an exaggeration, of course, because The World Cup is a big deal even here, […]
ESPN launched its 3D cable and satellite channel on Friday to show 25 matches from the World Cup soccer tournament for the first time ever. Perfect: broadcasting a sport Americans don't care about to a device none of us have.
That's an exaggeration, of course, because The World Cup is a big deal even here, and 6.2 million 3D-enabled television sets are predicted to sell this year worldwide according to a Displaybank report. iSupply says four percent of Americans purchasing new televisions reported choosing the 3D option, so somebody apparently has these things.
Despite industry optimism about 3D television taking off over the next four years, nowhere is it written in stone that 3D will become as widespread as HD television is today. But ESPN vice president of strategic business planning and development Bryan Burns tells Wired.com that the company sees no real distinction between the challenges of switching to HD a few years back and those of switching to 3D today.
"We have an amazing advantage: We've been here before," said Burns. "Seven and a half years ago when we launched ESPN HD -- this is just like that, it's like a mirror image. [As for how 3D will roll out,] I don't know. I say, 'we'll figure it out,' which is the same thing I said seven years ago. Our company has a rather incredible track record of involving ourselves with emerging technologies before things are really finished or finalized, both from the standpoint of technology and of knowing what consumers really and truly want or need."
He makes a good point -- like 3D, the switch to HD required new cameras and television sets, and for a while, insiders joked that there were more HD transmitters in America than receivers. HD caught on quickly after that, but this time around, the revolution requires 3D glasses to be televised. HD, on the other hand, you can watch with your plain old eyeballs.
Hardly any households or even bars are equipped with 3D sets or the expensive glasses required to view home models. Thus, ESPN-3D launches to the sound of one hand clapping after two years of preparation. Among the places you can watch: certain ESPN restaurants, participating 3D movie theaters, and your friend of a friend who has a 3D TV and service from Comcast, DirecTV or AT&T-- assuming he or she has enough hundred-dollar-plus glasses on hand so that everyone can see (each set only comes with one pair).
"We see a world of going from BYOB to BYOG [Bring Your Own Glasses] -- or maybe both," said Burns, although 3D television manufacturers' glasses are not yet guaranteed to be interoperable with each others televisions -- a problem he sees the consumer electronics industry solving within a year if not sooner. (This is a crucial point, given the cost of the glasses and the importance of "BYOG"; anyone looking at buying a 3D TV would do well to wait until a standard is hammered out.)
As for the behavioral obstacle to people taking the leap of donning glasses for regular television viewing, Burns says it's mostly in our minds.
"What we have found, both anecdotally and in consumer researh, and others have found the same thing, is that consumers will first recoil from glasses," said the ESPN vice president. "Consumers are saying they don't like it, then they put them on, and once they're watching, they say, 'Oh, that's no big deal.'"
For now, the audience for ESPN-HD is incredibly limited. Niclas Ericson, television director for FIFA, the international soccer organization that runs the World Cup, said in April that he expected "at least a few hundred thousand per match" worldwide -- an inconsequential number next to the over 26 billion cumulative viewers expected to tune in to the regular broadcast.
Complicating matters further, ESPN-HD only accepts advertisements created in 3D for its channel. Advertisers must be cajoled into spending 30 to 40 percent more to create 3D ads, according to executives cited by the WSJ, and aren't yet sure how to get the most out of the medium. Besides, any household with a 3D televisions almost certainly has a DVR for skipping commercials anyway.
Nonetheless, Gilette, Pixar, Proctor and Gamble and Sony created 3D ads to show during ESPN-3D's broadcasts of the World Cup that drew "oohs and aahs" at a press preview in New York. If that's any indication, people could actually be more likely to watch 3D ads than they are 2D ads, in much the same way Superbowl commercials seem to attract almost as much attention as the game itself. In any case, because sports happen live, they're less vulnerable to users skipping through ads in the recorded version.
ESPN runs a lab in Austin, Texas where it watches how people watch television. The network plans to test its 3D World Cup soccer broadcasts there to see how they react to the broadcast and the ads -- information that will prove invaluable as the company tries to attract a bigger audience to its new 3D channel.

One aspect of internationalization is to correctly format your date/time strings. Different countries use very different formats and it's easy to incorrectly format your strings for your international users.
While this works great for formatting parameters (for, say, a web service), it's terrible for localization. Your international users won't be using the same date/time format you're using and it won't pick up user preferences (e.g., date order or 12-hour vs 24-hour).
The problem with these formatters is that they are inflexible; what if you don't want to show a year on a date? What if you want to include the day of the week? There are only limited circumstances where these formatters are good enough.
The best solution is to use DateUtils. It has two powerful methods - [formatDateTime()](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/format/DateUtils.html#formatDateTime(android.content.Context, long, int)) and [formatDateRange()](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/format/DateUtils.html#formatDateRange(android.content.Context, long, long, int)) - which take in flags to determine which fields to include. It automatically formats to the user's locale and preferences without you having to worry about it.
// date == "December 20"
// date == "00:00, 12/20/2013"
// date == "December 20 - 24"
// date == "December 20, 2013 - January 4, 2014"
One thing to watch out for with formatDateRange() is where it cuts off the day. You may notice in the example above that the date ranges seem to be off by one day; that's because it cuts off at midnight. If you add a millisecond it should properly format the range.
If you want your application to abide by the locale's formatting rules while still having control over what information to show, DateUtils is your place to go. Be sure to read through all the different formatting flags so you can wield the most power with this tool.


MINSK, 11 February (BelTA) – The activity of the trilateral contact group on Ukraine should be continue continued, Belarusian Minister of Foreign Affairs Vladimir Makei said as he spoke at the international conference "One Year of Minsk-II Accords: Achievements, Challenges, Lessons Learned" on 11 February, BelTA informs.
The minister also stressed that the Minsk Agreements remain a universal mechanism in settling the Ukrainian conflict. "They were timely and helped save thousands of lives," said Vladimir Makei.


This presentation will feature a broad overview of the procedures that local and state volunteers are required to follow when seeking to resolve a peer review complaint. Attendees will participate in a role playing exercise where they will conduct a fictional hearing, learn tips for questioning parties and get advice on what to include in a recommendation letter. However, the most valuable part of this training session is that volunteers will have an opportunity to speak with their colleagues across the state, share their experiences administering the peer review process and provide their feedback to the CSDA Council on Peer Review.

President may have visited $624,999 Bayport home, owner says

By Michael Gavinmichael.gavin@newsday.com April 20, 2019
A $624,999 Bayport house, built in 1777, is believed to have been visited by President Grover Cleveland, says owner and listing agent Patricia Monachino of Century 21 Bay's Edge Realty.
An inventory form by the state's Division of Historic Preservation, she adds, noted that the homeowner, Colonel Joseph Meeks, a friend of Cleveland, referred to the house as "Hotel de Cleveland." The inventory form shows that the street was also previously named Cleveland Avenue.
"What has been passed down was President Cleveland came to fish with Colonel Meeks and slept there," Monachino says. Cleveland served as president from 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom Colonial, on a .56-acre lot, offers formal living and dining rooms, a sitting room, an eat-in kitchen, a sunroom and a 24-by-24-foot bonus room. Original features, Monachino says, include the bannister, moldings, living room mantel, and wood beams and floors in the kitchen.
Updates, such as new windows and doors, reflect the home's original time period.
"Whatever we had to replace, it was replaced with things from that era," says Monachino, who adds that the house has updated plumbing and electric. "It's modernized, yet it still has the history with it."


When you lose teeth, and do not replace them, the jawbone deteriorates where the tooth socket once was. This makes it more difficult to get dental implants, but hope is not lost. The good news is that Dr. Clark can perform a process called ridge augmentation to restore the bone structure that is needed for restorative procedures such as dental implants. The process involves lifting the gum from the ridge to expose the defected area of the bone. Then Dr. Clark uses either the patient's own bone, a donor bone, or a bone-like substance to rebuild the defected areas. The ridge augmentation greatly improves the appearance of the mouth and increases the chances for success with dental implants.

The Motorcycle: Design ~ Art ~ Desire
BoschZEV
It might be worthwhile to have some context for this exhibition. With the exception of 'The Art of the Motorcycle' at the Guggenheim, a typical "motorcycle show" that most people here would have seen would have involved perhaps a dozen or two volunteers to distribute posters and emails ahead of time, and to tell lenders where to place their bikes, direct traffic, and sell tickets.
In contrast, 'The Motorcycle: Design ~ Art ~ Desire' has had at least 50 skilled professional curators, designers, conservators, registrars, photographers, cinema experts, writers, editors, carpenters, painters, machinists, etc., some of whom have been working on the exhibition full time for over 18 months. Just the installation, which has been ongoing since early September, will have required over five person-years of skilled labor by the time it's completed. This isn't a typical "motorcycle show."
Last night I had a FaceTime walking tour of the exhibition as it stands now. The first of the three rooms still has work taking place, but has over 90% of the bikes installed so it's possible to get a very good idea of what it will look like on opening day in less than three weeks. The second room has the plinths and screens installed (for short clips), but none of the bikes as yet, and the third room is a beehive of activity. All but two of the bikes are in hand, with arrival of the last two imminent.
The exhibition looks truly amazing. I dearly wish I could see it in person. Sigh...
As I wrote in the first post in this thread, if these were normal times QAGOMA would get 30% of its visitors from interstate and internationally. So, since Queensland's borders are now set to open on December 1, and barring another outbreak, attendance at 'The Motorcycle' has the potential not to suffer much at all from what it would have been in a normal year. As the first major exhibition at an international museum created specifically with the post-covid world in mind, there's even reason to believe this might be the right exhibition at the right time to exceed expectations.
Of course, the situations we face are different, but in the U.S. an estimated one-third of all museums remain closed because of covid. The financial loss of nearly a year's income thus far means some of them are being forced to sell off parts of their collections to survive and, even with that, not all of them are expected to ever reopen.
For most major museums, a successful "summer blockbuster" exhibition provides the operating income for the remaining three-quarters of the year. Given how dire the Australian situation looked in March-April and again in July-August, museum directors who thought they were preparing for the worst by curtailing activities are now unprepared for their big summer season.
Creating a blockbuster art or design exhibition requires a few years, not a few months, to scour the world and secure the necessary international loans, so it's not something that could be done starting when the Australian situation began to look hopeful at the end of August. For example, the exhibition this time last year at the National Gallery of Australia was of two major European artists, entitled 'Matisse & Picasso', that "brings together masterpieces from collections across the world and includes paintings that will be on display in Australia for the first time." In contrast, this year it's 'Australian Women Artists 1900 to Now' with works "Drawn from the National Gallery's collection and loans from across Australia." Clearly, this year's exhibition was not years in the making, nor does it have the potential to draw the same number of visitors as last year's.
Firmly in our mind throughout the entire process of putting this exhibition together wasn't motorcyclists, because we knew they would come. Rather, it was the soccer moms, young families looking for something to do on weekends, boys and girls on school or club field trips, and tourists in town on holiday who felt compelled to drag their kids to someplace cultural. If those people come away from the exhibition with an appreciation for objects they may never even have given a second thought to before, we will have been successful.
Motorcyclists should love it because they'll get to see some amazing machines they've only read about, displayed in a way only a world-class art gallery knows how to display them. Non-motorcyclists will – we sincerely hope – love it because they'll see motorcycles in historical context as the fascinating design objects they are, as well as learn about the interesting designers who created them.
Phrased differently, we will have been successful if both types of audiences come away from what they see saying "I had no idea!," albeit for different reasons.
For what it's worth, despite all the uncertainty, stress and hard work since the world changed in March, Ultan Guilfoyle and I are both very pleased that QAGOMA's Director, Chris Saines, never wavered in his vision to have this exhibition open as planned on 28 November. Given how it all worked out, he is quite pleased as well. Opening is now just a few days away.

A new approached is applied using particle condensation technique. When a particle is place in a super-saturated vapor, the super-saturated vapor molecules will start condense onto the particle. The particle with condensed vapor will continuously grow and become a large droplet. This large size droplet can easily be detected by optical electronic system.

On Wood Memorial Day, the Equestris Restaurant is offering reserved seating for $75 per adult and $25 per child.
The Aqueduct Race Track is located in the great state of New York, and even though it might still be a little chilly, spring is emerging in full bloom, providing the perfect opportunity to try one of the season's most popular trends, floral print. Florals are in for every spring season, but this year, rather than the typical muted pastel, soft, and feminine girly florals, florals are bright and vibrant and set on black backdrops. Try a fit and flare dress with florals in bold blues and pinks and bright whites. For a fitted femme fatale look, try a floral dress in a fitted sheath fit.
You can even take the trend to your footwear for the 2015 Wood Memorial. For your hat, instead of a floral print topper, try a literal interpretation of the floral motif trend and actually wear a hat that features flowers. Choose a flower-inspired topper in a vibrant color as well in order to stand up next to your floral print outfit.
Even if the weather is chilly, you will feel vibrant and ready for spring in your floral prints at Aqueduct for the 2015 Wood Memorial!
