Our Dive Centre is located at just a few meters distance from the protected beach of Los Cancajos. We offer perfect conditions for family-friendly dives at our "housereef" – you drop in, go for a dive and can be back two hours later.
The bay is protected by a wave-braker and therefore provides us with an ideal place for try-dives and diving courses.
We offer quality rental equipment, as well as a safe place to dry and store your own equipment during your stay. As a Mares Center, most of our equipment is Mares Quality. In our small shop you can find accesoires and some basic equipment.
For your comfort, we have toilets and a hot shower in the divecenter, so you can "unsalt" after every dive.
And because diving is something more than making bubbles, our dive center is a nice place to stay after diving. We have place to sit around and do logbooks inside and on our terrace, and you will find coffee, some snacks and a fridge with cold drinks. We want you to feel at home from the first moment on.
I started diving in 1999 in the warm and colourful Carribean and then went into the Cenotes in Mexico, lakes in Germany and enjoyed diving wherever I found enough water. Since 2007, I have been discovering the Canary Islands and have been working on four of the seven islands.
La Palma is without any doubt the most beautiful of them, so I decided to settle down here. As staying in one place is pretty new for me, at least I keep on moving to develop the technical diving part of the center, and finally decided to do the step to become an Instructor Trainer.
Before becoming a dive professional, I went to university and did spend many years in social projects.
In the Dive Center, you will find me more in the office than in the water - but I still love diving and try to get away from my computer whenever I can.
Kris originally had a normal job in a normal office in Germany, but found out she needs the water more than the computer screen. So she went diving all around the world, worked as a Divemaster in Thailand, Jamaica and Malaysia, and finally found her way back to Europe - to us. She will slowly do her way to instructor with us.
Dani is still very new in diving, he started in 2018 - and did an incredible number of dives already in his first year. Originally trained in Thailand, he adapted surprisingly fast to the Atlantic environment, and is working towards his instructor certification with us.
The sympathic couple decided to live on La Palma, and are around to help from time to time. Werner is a PADI MSDT and SSI AOWI with over 800 dives, a very calm and relaxed instructor. Jutta is working on her Divemaster-certification and enjoys diving.
The finnish divemaster helps us when ever we need one more guide. He is an excellent guide and DSD-Leader, but his real passion is freediving. If you are looking for a partner to drop down without tanks, he is the one to ask.
Most of the time, you will meet at least one more person here who is helping in the center and comes diving with us. Every year, we train some new Divemasters and Assistant Instructors, who work here for some month and do their course while gaining a lot of experience. At the end of their stay, it can happen that they even guide your dive - and you will not feel the difference to an experienced guide.
If you are interested in doing your Divemaster training with us, send us some information about you. We accept Trainees for a free internship 2-3 times a year, for a minimum stay of three month, preferably longer.


With a return to roots comes great success for Call of Duty as Activision reveals a handful of milestones achieved during launch weekend.
It looks like Call of Duty's return to form has struck a chord with the popular shooter's wavering audience. After a significant drop-off in sales performance for last year's Infinite Warfare, Call of Duty: WW2 has the series returning to form by scoring over half a billion in sales in its opening weekend.
Call of Duty: WWII strips down the experience that had become quite chaotic in recent releases and took the series back to its roots. This has resulted in twice as many units be sold at launch as last year, over $500 million in sales, and a day one record for digital sales on PS4.
Check out our Review In Progress of Call of Duty: WW2 and keep your eyes peeled for the full review in the near future.
I didn't get a chance to play the beta, but I saw a video of their multiplayer social hub area and it looked awesome.
its kind of broken at the moment, but definitely a cool idea.
BUT I THOUGHT EVERYONE PUBG NUMBER ONE!
The MP in this game was really generic and the maps pretty lame. Hopefully the SP is much better that's the only reason it would be worth it.
I enjoyed the MP beta a lot. But I'm not buying it, because the game's going to be dead in a few months, and €45 from cdkeys is still too much considering that.

Tao and Marquee to their nightlife show overseas this past weekend when they created Club Bud in London. The one-of-a-kind pop-up destination and VIP venue hosted a flurry of influencers, athletes and celebrities, who were all celebrating the United States' Olympic medals.
Athletes and celebrities flocked to the historic Roundhouse in Camden on Saturday for a night of celebration and fun. The venue offered guests in attendance an unforgettable night with deejay Gareth Emery taking center stage.
Athlete and celebrity attendees included the likes of Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union; Mel B with her hubby, who enjoyed a night out before her big Spice Girls reunion show at the Closing Ceremonies; soccer player and gold medalist Hope Solo, who was joined by her teammates; track and field athlete Lolo Jones; speed skater and eight-time medalist Apolo Ohno; silver medalist in the Decathlon Trey Hardee; members of the U.S. Women's Water Polo team; U.S. men's gymnasts Sam Mikulak and John Orozco and many others.
On Sunday, Club Bud brought out Swizz Beatz, who headlined the room full of celebrating Olympians. Kobe Bryant and his teammates made the night a family affair as they partied with their wives; Carmelo and Lala Anthony kept the company of Bryant and his wife Vanessa as both women happened to be wearing leopard print dresses. Bryant rarely left his wife's side and while the pair refused to take photos together, they were very affectionate as he had one arm draped across her body while she danced against him.
Swizz Beatz kept the party going, playing "We Will Rock You" by Queen. He invited the U.S. men's basketball team on stage with him. He took the energy up a notch and dropped a crowd favorite "N***** in Paris," which got the entire basketball team dancing. Soon enough Swizz began spraying the crowd with champagne in celebration of their big win.
Rap superstar Nas joined Swizz on stage and closed out the party with a surprise performance that had the nearly 2,000 people singing and celebrating until the hours of the early morning.

Take the ever-popular South Coast tour of Iceland to explore diverse nature at its best: glacier, cliffs, waterfalls, black beaches and a lot more! Operating always with local guides!
Too long to read? See the video!
Mon. & Wed. & Sat.
You will travel in a minibus to admire the south coast of Iceland – waterfalls, black sand beaches, glaciers and volcanoes. This tour should not be missed by any who want to enjoy the essentials of Icelandic sightseeing.
One of your first stops will be at Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. This falls, which is over sixty metres tall, tumbles from a cliff that curves inwards; this means when there is no ice on the ground you can walk behind it, allowing for some excellent photographs.
Skogafoss waterfall is next on your list, just down the route. Though as tall as Seljalandsfoss, it is many times wider and much more powerful; the scale of it is incredibly impressive, especially considering the amount of spray rising as the water smashes against the rocks below. You can walk as close to the waterfall as you dare.
If the weather is clear, you'll be able to see Eyjafjallajokull, the famous glacier and volcano that erupted in 2010.
You will also travel to Solheimajokull. This fascinating glacier tongue stretches from the greater ice cap Myrdalsjokull, which covers the volcano Katla, the eruptions of which are even bigger than Eyjafjallajokull's. It is about 15 min walk from the parking lot to a good viewpoint to admire the glacier.
The next destination on your list is Reynisfjara black sand beach. This stretch of coastline is renowned for its beauty, eeriness, and dramatic geology. Another very photogenic place with many hexagonal basalt columns. In mid-summer, we will possibly see puffins, unique and very photogenic seabirds, at amazing rock formations at Dyrhólaey cliffs.
The furthest stop on this tour is Vik – the southernmost village of Iceland. When you walk down the beach, you will be amazed by the sea stacks. Legend has it that the stack is in fact made up of the frozen figures of trolls who were petrified while playing in the sea.
All departures require a minimum of 4 participants in order to operate. Gateway to Iceland reserves the right to delay, alter or cancel any tour due to weather or any other unsafe conditions for the safety of our clients.
The "South Shore Adventure" day trip fromReykjavik is a great introduction to this part of Iceland. Better with sunshine I am certain but adaptations were made by our guide to mitigate this. Our guide, who's name I shall not try to spell, was knowledgable about anything one could imagine asking about. The smaller size of the vehicle and group was advantageous for efficient maneuvering and getting in and out to visit compared to a tour bus. All of the goals of the trip were well met.
My husband and I did the South Coast tour with Gateway to Iceland this August. It was an excellent tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the sights, but also shared with us his opinions, thoughts, and insights to other aspects of Icelandic society and culture. The tour was also small-- 7 people (including ourselves)-- which made for a very intimate and personable experience. We highly recommend Gateway to Iceland.

Fruitful relations between Indonesia and Vietnam has been established for 60 years, and next year both countries will join hands as the Non-Permanent Members of the United Nations Security Council since Indonesia was elected for 2019-2020, while Vietnam was elected for 2020-2021 period, according to Indonesian Foreign Affairs Minister Retno Marsudi.
"Today, allow me to underline that the Indonesia-Vietnam friendship was also strengthened by the support from the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia, Megawati Soekarno Putri," Retno said during her speech at the Commemoration of the 60th Anniversary of the Exchange of Visits between President Soekarno and Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh, at the National Archive Building, Jakarta, Friday (8/11).
Echoing a similar sentiment, Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister of Vietnam Le Hoai Trung expressed his highest appreciation and respect for the event which marked the historical visit of President Ho Chi Minh to Indonesia in March 1959 and President Soekarno's visit to Vietnam in June 1959.
"The visits of both leaders was beyond the normal diplomatic framework and has become a milestone in the close relations of Vietnam and Indonesia in this modern age," Le said.
The Vietnamese Deputy Minister also appreciated Indonesia's commitment, particularly former President Megawati Soekarno Putri who is also the late President Soekarno's daughter for her contributions to the partnership between the two countries. "The historical moment has bonded us as two countries in the same geographical area which share similar philosophy, culture, tradition, and national character," he said adding that the spirit of unity in diversity (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika) has great contribution to Indonesia's characters which are flexible, active, and independent.
Also on that occasion, Le said that Indonesia and Vietnam leaders has cooperated since both countries struggled to gain their independence in 1945, to the establishment of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in 1961, and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
He went on to congratulated Indonesia for successfully organizing the 2019 legislative and presidential elections, and commencing the inauguration of Indonesian Onward Cabinet for 2019-2024 period. The Vietnamese official also acknowledged Indonesia's proactive role in international fora such as ASEAN, APEC, G-20, and the United Nations (UN).
"I believe Indonesia can realize the vision of Indonesia 2045 and become one of the largest economics and play more important role in international society. Strategic partnership between Indonesia and Vietnam will be developed optimally," he added.
According to Le, state visit of President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo and courtesy call of Minister Retno Marsudi to Vietnam back in 2018 has enhanced strategic bilateral relations and contributed to achieve US$10 billion trade value between Indonesia and Vietnam by 2020. He also expressed hope Indonesia and Vietnam will always join hands be it as the Non-Permanent Members of the United Nations Security Council, or during Vietnam's ASEAN Chairmanship in 2020.
The Deputy Minister also confirmed Vietnam's commitment to preserve and promote the friendship, strategic partnership, and bilateral relationship between Indonesia and Vietnam.
Also attending the event were, among others, Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung, Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reforms Tjahjo Kumolo, and Vietnamese Ambassador to Indonesia Pham Vinh Quang. (DID/EN)

Turkey Releases U.S. Pastor After 2 Years In Prison
By Merrit Kennedy • 4 hours ago
Andrew Brunson, shown here in July, was one of thousands arrested in Turkey after a failed coup attempt in 2016.

Originally published on October 12, 2018 3:21 pm
Turkey has ordered the release of U.S. pastor Andrew Brunson, who has been in detention since 2016 in a case that has raised tensions between Turkey and the U.S.
A court in the western city of Izmir actually sentenced Brunson to a little more than three years in prison, according to Turkey's state news agency Anadolu. However, as NPR's Peter Kenyon in Istanbul explains, the court says he will serve no more time, considering his health issues.
"The court also lifted judicial controls on Brunson — that means restrictions on his movements have been lifted and he is now free to leave the country," Kenyon reports. The prosecutor had asked for a 10-year sentence.
The evangelical pastor wept in court upon hearing the news of his release, Reuters reported. Prior to the ruling, he said, "I am an innocent man. I love Jesus, I love Turkey." After he listened to an alleged witness, he said, "I do not understand how this is related to me."
Brunson, who is from North Carolina and has lived and worked in Turkey for more than two decades, was arrested following a failed coup in 2016. According to Anadolu, he was charged with being a member of the Fetullah Terrorist Organization, the group that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan blames for the attempted coup. The news agency says Brunson also was charged with spying for Kurdish militants.
Turkey has been criticized for the sweeping arrests after the coup attempt, where tens of thousands of people were taken into custody over their supposed links to terrorist groups. The country's leadership has said the mass arrests are necessary for security.
Earlier this year, it had looked as though Brunson might have been released.
"The White House thought they had a deal after President Trump spoke with Turkey's president. But at that point he was only moved from prison to house arrest, and that upset the White House," Kenyon reports. "Pressure's been ratcheting up ever since, there's been sanctions back and forth, and there's no doubt that with the shaky economy here Turkey really wanted to put this dispute behind them."
In August, the U.S. imposed sanctions on two Turkish cabinet ministers in direct retaliation over Turkey's continued detention of Brunson, as NPR's Colin Dwyer reported.
News of proposed sanctions was greeted warmly by top evangelical Christians, reports NPR's Sarah McCammon. They "form a key part of Trump's base and have long advocated for increased protections on religious freedom in the U.S. and abroad."
Erdogan had previously attempted to craft a deal with the U.S. to trade Brunson for Fethullah Gulen, the U.S.-based Turkish cleric whom he blames for the coup attempt. Gulen has denied those allegations.
Kenyon says Brunson's release probably will go over well in Turkey, where the punitive sanctions appear likely to be eased or lifted.
"President Trump and his team have been tenacious in seeking the release of Pastor Brunson," Jay Sekulow, a lawyer for Brunson, said in a statement. "We're grateful to the President, members of Congress and diplomatic leaders who continued to put pressure on Turkey to secure the freedom of Pastor Brunson. The fact that he is preparing to return to the United States can only be viewed as a significant victory for Pastor Brunson and his family."
Trump has been following the news closely this morning, with multiple tweets about Brunson. Upon news of the court decision, he wrote, "PASTOR BRUNSON JUST RELEASED. WILL BE HOME SOON!"


This camera is very dated, also using a proprietary power adapter, no WiFi and very difficult to setup. Once you are on my network you have full viewing access to my camera. My router fortunately has network isolation so I am able to block access to it except via my server that has zoneminder nvr software installed. Unfortunately you will not be able to control the ptz from Zoneminder directly due to the age of the camera. But you can however give it a fixed position in the web panel it has built in. I would recommend setting its default fixed position after a reboot or power loss.
I had to first hook it up to my desktop via an Ethernet cable and send the IP address it would use on my network. By default this camera has no DHCP or static IP enabled. In the manual you can find out how to send the ARP request to perform this. After you have an IP go to it on your web browser. http://youripaddress/. You will see the camera start streaming once you have done any first time setup. Head over into Zoneminder and add a new camera with the following details.

DNA 'origami' takes flight in emerging field of nano machines
September 18, 2019 matthewhmaxwell Nanoscience, Nanomedicine 0
Curated article. Link to Source
Just as the steam engine set the stage for the Industrial Revolution, and micro transistors sparked the digital age, nanoscale devices made from DNA are opening up a new era in bio-medical research and materials science.
The journal Science describes the emerging uses of DNA mechanical devices in a "Perspective" article by Khalid Salaita, a professor of chemistry at Emory University, and Aaron Blanchard, a graduate student in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, a joint program of Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory.
The article heralds a new field, which Blanchard dubbed "DNA mechanotechnology," to engineer DNA machines that generate, transmit and sense mechanical forces at the nanoscale.
"For a long time," Salaita says, "scientists have been good at making micro devices, hundreds of times smaller than the width of a human hair. It's been more challenging to make functional nano devices, thousands of times smaller than that. But using DNA as the component parts is making it possible to build extremely elaborate nano devices because the DNA parts self-assemble."
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, stores and transmits genetic information as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T). The DNA bases have a natural affinity to pair up with each other — A with T and C with G. Synthetic strands of DNA can be combined with natural DNA strands from bacteriophages. By moving around the sequence of letters on the strands, researchers can get the DNA strands to bind together in ways that create different shapes. The stiffness of DNA strands can also easily be adjusted, so they remain straight as a piece of dry spaghetti or bend and coil like boiled spaghetti.
The idea of using DNA as a construction material goes back to the 1980s, when biochemist Nadrian Seeman pioneered DNA nanotechnology. This field uses strands DNA to make functional devices at the nanoscale. The ability to make these precise, three-dimensional structures began as a novelty, nicknamed DNA origami, resulting in objects such as a microscopic map of the world and, more recently, the tiniest-ever game of tic-tac-toe, played on a DNA board.
Work on novelty objects continues to provide new insights into the mechanical properties of DNA. These insights are driving the ability to make DNA machines that generate, transmit and sense mechanical forces.
"If you put together these three main components of mechanical devices, you begin to get hammers and cogs and wheels and you can start building nano machines," Salaita says. "DNA mechanotechnology expands the opportunities for research involving biomedicine and materials science. It's like discovering a new continent and opening up fresh territory to explore."
Potential uses for such devices include drug delivery devices in the form of nano capsules that open up when they reach a target site, nano computers and nano robots working on nanoscale assembly lines.
The use of DNA self-assembly by the genomics industry, for biomedical research and diagnostics, is further propelling DNA mechanotechnology, making DNA synthesis inexpensive and readily available. "Potentially anyone can dream up a nano-machine design and make it a reality," Salaita says.
He gives the example of creating a pair of nano scissors. "You know that you need two rigid rods and that they need to be linked by a pivot mechanism," he says. "By tinkering with some open-source software, you can create this design and then go onto a computer and place an order to custom synthesize your design. You'll receive your order in a tube. You simply put the tube contents into a solution, let your device self-assemble, and then use a microscope to see if it works the way you thought that it would."
Salaita's lab is one of only about 100 around the world working at the forefront of DNA mechanotechnology. He and Blanchard developed the world's strongest synthetic DNA-based motor, which was recently reported in Nano Letters.
A key focus of Salaita's research is mapping and measuring how cells push and pull to learn more about the mechanical forces involved in the human immune system.
Salaita developed the first DNA force gauges for cells, providing the first detailed view of the mechanical forces that one molecule applies to another molecule across the entire surface of a living cell. Mapping such forces may help to diagnose and treat diseases related to cellular mechanics. Cancer cells, for instance, move differently from normal cells, and it is unclear whether that difference is a cause or an effect of the disease.
In 2016, Salaita used these DNA force gauges to provide the first direct evidence for the mechanical forces of T cells, the security guards of the immune system. His lab showed how T cells use a kind of mechanical "handshake" or tug to test whether a cell they encounter is a friend or foe. These mechanical tugs are central to a T cell's decision for whether to mount an immune response.
"Your blood contains millions of different types of T cells, and each T cell is evolved to detect a certain pathogen or foreign agent," Salaita explains. "T cells are constantly sampling cells throughout your body using these mechanical tugs. They bind and pull on proteins on a cell's surface and, if the bond is strong, that's a signal that the T cell has found a foreign agent."
Salaita's lab built on this discovery in a paper recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Work led by Emory chemistry graduate student Rong Ma refined the sensitivity of the DNA force gauges. Not only can they detect these mechanical tugs at a force so slight that it is nearly one-billionth the weight of a paperclip, they can also capture evidence of tugs as brief as the blink of an eye.
The research provides an unprecedented look at the mechanical forces involved in the immune system. "We showed that, in addition to being evolved to detect certain foreign agents, T cells will also apply very brief mechanical tugs to foreign agents that are a near match," Salaita says. "The frequency and duration of the tug depends on how closely the foreign agent is matched to the T cell receptor."
The result provides a tool to predict how strong of an immune response a T cell will mount. "We hope this tool may eventually be used to fine tune immunotherapies for individual cancer patients," Salaita says. "It could potentially help engineer T cells to go after particular cancer cells."

Tips for Homeowners to Replace Exterior Siding - Harrington & Co.
Are you considering a home face-lift?
If yes, here's a few things to know about advantages and disadvantages of the most common siding materials and how you can replace your siding.
There are two reasons why you should update or change your siding.
#1. You can either do it to avoid the deterioration or damage that has been caused to the siding.
#2. If you just wish to alter the look of your home.
Experts reveal that majority of homeowners who have lived in their homes for about 30 years, notice that the siding has been damaged due to infiltration of water.
Exterior siding, is always exposed to natural and weather elements and hence it is not going to last forever. The siding can fade due to sunshine, be damaged due to the consequences of a storm or your teenager could have even rammed the exterior part of your home.
Should you or shouldn't you patch it?
If you find your siding to be damaged in just a single spot, you will most likely replace that specific area of siding. However, this isn't as simple as it sounds. There are many companies who don't do patchwork since it can become a liability for the contractor.
It is tough to match the siding since it has already faded and new siding options might be unavailable. There are few contractors who leave out details regarding the name of the siding product and its model number to the homeowner. *Make sure to get these details.
Many professionals advise that if you have already caused damage to your exterior siding but it isn't causing water damage or leaks, that you may want to wait until you replace the entire siding of your home.
There are many sorts of materials which can be used for siding but you have to know about them and how each of them are special.
Vinyl: This comes in the form of plastic and you get lots of textures and colors. This is the most affordable options for insulation.
Composite board: This is a product which comprises of recycled pulp of wood which are pressed with adhesives and glues. This too comes in any color that you may want.
Fiber cement: Mostly, this is made up of silica, recycled cardboard and Portland cement. It is fire and hail resistant but it can take enough time to install.
Cedar or real wood: This can be a real deal as cedar can look extremely beautiful and it is also easy to replace.
Now that you know details about how you should replace exterior siding, head over to one of Harrington & Co's 5 locations today, visit our siding page, or call, (801) 972-3131.


lava-tool` is a deprecated command-line tool for interacting with the various services offered by LAVA via XML-RPC APIs. See lavacli for the new tool that is replacing it.
lava-tool is primarily designed to assist users and uses desktop integration hooks provided by python-keyring and gnome-keyring. If writing or using scripts that need to interact with LAVA, it is recommended to use XML-RPC API calls directly rather than calling lava-tool; this will avoid the need to prompt for a password to access the local user keyring. Scripts used by build servers and continuous integration tools should ideally use a dedicated user account, for similar reasons.
See XML-RPC for more information.
lava-tool is being updated and new features are being added as the migration to V2 continues. It is important that all users update the lava-tool package to continue working with V2.
Token added successfully for user <username>.
Token added successfully for user neil.williams.
Paste the token copied previously when it is asked above. Replace username with your username. If you don't already have a keyring, a new one will be created automatically. Set/use a password for keyring access as appropriate here.
Inability to work with other keyring solutions.
The new backend is able to list and remove authentications. The new support also removes the need for a default password on the user keyring, so lava-tool will no longer pause waiting for password entry. A key benefit of the new backend is the ability to shorten the authentication strings used for all operations using lava-tool through the new auth-config support.
Auth configuration successfully updated on endpoint https://staging.validation.linaro.org/RPC2.
No more typos or forgetting the RPC2 suffix, lava-tool does the work.

Trapped in Yemen: African migrants face growing animosity and danger amid COVID-19 outbreak
Published on : 2020/06/22 Latest update : 2020/06/25
By Sertan Sanderson Published on : 2020/06/22 Latest update : 2020/06/25
The conditions for migrants and refugees in Yemen are getting worse amid the global coronavirus pandemic. Not only are refugees and migrants more vulnerable to contracting the dangerous disease, but they are also increasingly facing stigmatization and prejudice.
The first corona case in Yemen was a Somali national, who was found dead in a hotel in the capital Sana'a. The official number of cases since has remained surprisingly low at about 1,000 infections since then; however, due to a massive shortfall in medical services in the country since the start of the war in 2015, more than one quarter of all infected people have died, with migrants being perceived as more likely to catch the disease.
The United Nations says that since the first case was recorded, tensions between migrant and host communities have therefore been rising, as resources in the war-torn country are reaching historic lows at the same time. This is leading to abject poverty among migrant communities, the majority of whom are comprised of African nationals, especially Somalians and Ethiopians, who came from the Horn of Africa to Yemen across the Gulf of Aden. "When [migrants and refugees] reach the UNHCR office or our partners they are often without anything, not even identity documents most of the time," UNHCR representative Jean-Nicolas Beuze told the Reuters news agency, stressing that the relationship between Yemeni nationals and foreigners is coming under increasing strain.
The IOM meanwhile says that amid this volatile climate, many migrants have forcibly been transferred away from urban areas to remote locations, including 1,300 people being moved from the rebel-held north of the country to the south in April. Those who can find a way to return to their home countries are increasingly opting to do so.

Stuck in Sana'a -- without help
But many migrants and refugees remain stuck in the country and are facing increasing hardship, as the pandemic continues. Somali migrant Bader Hassan told Reuters that he is witnessing acts of ostracism on a daily basis, despite having lived through war and suffering in Yemen for the past six years: "They ask 'what's your nationality: Yemen, Somalia?' I say Somali and they say 'sorry, goodbye'," he told Reuters with regard to his daily interactions with potential customers in Sana'a.
Hassan washes cars in the street after dropping out of school early. With the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown measures that include the limiting of movement in cars, he might soon be out of a job. "But how do we live now when corona is also shutting off car washing?" he said. As a migrant in Yemen, Hassan says he receives no state or charity support.
With the coronavirus pandemic threatening his livelihood further, the 32-year-old Somali says that he wants to leave now to seek a better life elsewhere: "Me, my wife and my son want to live in a good place, like other people," he explained. Like many other migrants in the country, he now lives in the fear of arbitrarily being deported to an overcrowded camp. 'People tired of helping us'
Ethiopian migrant Abdelaziz is equally desperate to leave the dire conditions in Yemen behind. He told Reuters that people in Yemen, who themselves are facing starvation, malnutrition and the threat of falling victim to air raids, are growing "tired of helping us."
"We have nothing to eat and drink," he explained. Abdelaziz also told Reuters that since his arrival in Yemen by sea, his onward journey plans to Saudi Arabia have been stopped by authorities running the internationally unrecognized regime in the north of the country. Along with other African migrants, he now sleeps on cardboard next to a road where once used to be a garden.
Still, he is fortunate: On his journey to Yemen, several people who were on the same boat as Abdelaziz drowned. There have been reports of others, who were pushed back into the sea upon arrival on Yemen's shores.

Many say they hope to travel on to Saudi Arabia or other nearby countries, such as the wealthy Gulf states. But as the deadly conflict in the county enters its sixth year, there appears to be no hope in sight for improvement or peace.
According to Reuters, the war has left 80% of the population of more than 24 million relying on international aid and 3.6 million displaced, with migrant communities often being hit the worst.

High magnification moiré interferometric measurement of crack tip deformation fields in stainless steels
posted on 10.12.2012, 14:43 by Filomena A. La Porta
Improvements of fatigue and fracture models require an accurate experimental description of deformation fields in the small region ahead of the crack tip, covering a few material grains, in which the mechanisms driving the fracture process take place. For this purpose, a high-magnification moire interferometer has been constructed. The set-up includes phase-stepping optics and a high resolution CCD camera (1.4 million pixels). By switching from laser light to white light illumination, it is possible to superimpose the deformation fields in exact registration with the underlying specimen microstructure. Displacement and strain fields are obtained by automated fringe analysis with respect to an undeformed reference state, over a sub-millimetre field of view. This technique has been applied here, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, to measure near tip surface deformation with underlying microstructure in cracked austenitic and duplex stainless steels subjected to single load and during fatigue. The fields obtained for mono tonically loaded cracks were compared with existing theoretical models in a region of about O.5xO.5 mm2 ahead of the crack tip. In the experimental condition employed here, these models do not reproduce satisfactorily the experimental data. Influence of the microstructure on the strain distribution was observed. Elasticplastic crack tip fields were measured during fatigue at the tip of a crack enabling a possible qualitative interpretation of the material response to applied stress. For an austenitic stainless steel, the dislocation distribution at the crack tip was also studied qualitatively by transmission electron microscopy. Evidence of an unzipping crack propagation model was found. In conclusion it has been demonstrated that the technique employed here is a powerful tool for a quantitative strain analysis over the region that is believed to play a crucial role in fracture and fatigue mechanisms.

10 Stars Who Got Jacked for Comic Book Movies
Extreme body transformations are one of the worst-kept secrets in Hollywood. Now that comic book-based movies dominate the cultural zeitgeist, casting larger-than-life actors requires a little more than a few pushups and good lighting.
Christian Bale showed how black coffee, one apple, and one can of tuna per day could take him from Batman shape to dangerously emaciated within a span of four months. Matt Damon, Jared Leto, and Matthew McConaughey are no strangers to jumping up and down the scale for movie roles. In the superhero genre, there's nowhere to go but up. Up the food intake. Up the supplements. Up the muscle. When millions of dollars and the future of major franchises are at stake, everyone has got to look the part.
Some stars credit chicken, broccoli, and clean living for their muscly makeovers. Others have admitted to more…say…intense methods to achieve peak cape shape. It may have been either keto and CrossFit or dehydration and deadlifts. These ten devoted actors pushed their bodies to another level by whatever means necessary.

10 Chris Hemsworth: Thor
Fitness has always played a part in Chris Hemsworth's life. In earlier roles like Star Trek and Cabin in the Woods, Hemsworth was in good shape, but not god shape.
Hemsworth stated, "In the comic strip, Thor looks to be around 500lb, so obviously that wasn't my goal." He added that he wanted to "look the part and be as powerful as strong as I could while still maintaining that element of agility."
Hemsworth enlisted the help of personal trainer Michael Knight (not the one from Knight Rider) to push him into true superhero shape. When asked about Hemsworth's workout regimen, Knight reported that the routine was split into two parts; "The first was a bodybuilder-type protocol focused on high-weight, low-rep moves designed to pack on maximum size, while the second was total-body circuits designed to shift his excess fat while maintaining muscle."
Hemsworth stated that he ate a protein-heavy diet and used monitored dehydration to make his muscle fibers pop. His trainer has gone on record as saying that he wouldn't recommend his Thor diet and exercise regimen to others as it is not a sustainable model.[1]
9 Henry Cavill: Superman
Unlike Kal-El, Henry Cavill is but a mere human. His transformation for Man of Steel required heaps of calories, exercise, and mental grit. Early in his acting career, Cavill's physique could be described as "slim fit." This was fine for his roles in The Tudors and Immortals, but it wouldn't cut the mustard as Superman.
To achieve a believable Kryptonian body, Cavill turned to Mark Twight, the man who whipped the cast of 300 into fighting shape. Cavill trained up to two-and-a-half hours a day, four to five days a week. To pack on muscle and help with exercise recovery, Cavill consumed around 5,000 calories each day. This was largely meat, vegetables, and protein shakes. He has owned up to enjoying some pizza and other cheat meals during the grueling six-month process.
Utilizing bodybuilding and CrossFit workouts, Cavill packed on 18 pounds of muscle while keeping his body fat below 10%. Results like this would be nigh impossible for the average Joe. Cavill has openly stated that while steroids were an option, both he and Mark Twight were dead set against it. When asked why he took the tougher route, Cavill said, "To take a shortcut to that place is nothing that Superman would do."[2]
8 Chris Evans: Captain America
Apparently, Chris Evans used to skip leg day. As his fitness trainer Simon Waterson stated, "He just trained his biceps, and his chest, and his abs, and that was it. He could do a lot of pushing exercises but not a lot of pulling exercises. So he didn't deadlift, he didn't do many pull-ups, he didn't have very overdeveloped legs."
Since Waterson didn't have a vial of super-soldier serum in his back pocket, he opted for a workout plan that would not only build muscle but also even out lagging body parts. Waterson claimed that they used a combination of heavy lifting and dynamic circuits, focusing on both "the aesthetic and the athletic."
Evans's diet leaned heavily on protein, fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and supplements. In an interview, Evans reported, "Supplement-wise, I used a bit of glutamine, whey protein shakes, branched-chain amino acids, then 500 mg of Omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids."[3]
Based on Evans's physique throughout the Marvel films, it appears he really can do this all day.
7 Hugh Jackman: Wolverine
Rather than showing up to the set of X-Men in Wolverine shape, Jackman's physique gradually became more savage throughout the first three films. He reached his peak condition 13 years after his first appearance as the clawed mutant.
Jackman had been more of a song and dance man before being cast in X-Men (2000). He was by no means in bad shape, but his shirtless scenes were kept to a minimum. That went out the window by the time production began on 2013's The Wolverine. In preparation for The Wolverine and Logan (2017), Jackman recruited fitness expert Dave Kingsbury.
Like others on this list, Jackman consumed mass amounts of meat, fish, vegetables, rice, and oatmeal. One key element, according to Kingsbury, was carb cycling. Jackman ate carbohydrates before 3:00 pm on training days and essentially eliminated them every other day. Supplement-wise, Jackman used pre-workout, creatine monohydrate, carnitine, and branch-chained amino acids. Hugh's workout plan was as regimented as his diet. Kingsbury put Jackman on a four-week weightlifting program focused on progressively higher weight the first three weeks and lighter weight the fourth.
While the details were intricate, the exercises themselves weren't. Jackman stuck to mostly bench press, pull-ups, squats, and deadlifts…everything a growing boy needs.[4]
6 Chris Pratt: Star Lord
During his Parks & Recreation days, Chris Pratt looked as though he could be a guardian of the donuts, but not the galaxy. To become Star Lord, Pratt utilized both a fitness trainer and a nutritionist to boost his body from flab to fab.
Dr. Phil Goglia overhauled Pratt's diet to contain "clean" food and supplements. Pratt reported supplementing with whey protein, a testosterone booster, branch chain amino acids, and fat burners. Although Pratt was trying to drop body fat, his overall caloric intake was increased to complement his intense training regimen.
Pratt worked with ex-Navy SEAL Duffy Gaver to put those calories to work. Pratt spent five months putting in four to six training sessions each week. He utilized a bodybuilding training style by focusing on different muscle groups each session. The results spoke for themselves: Pratt dropped over 60 pounds (27 kilograms) while adding lean muscle to his physique.
While his weight has fluctuated somewhat since Guardians of the Galaxy, he has managed to avoid slipping back to his Andy Dwyer bod.[5]
5 J.K. Simmons: Commissioner Gordon
J.K. Simmons has starred in two major superhero movies but has never played a superhuman. That didn't stop him from going to shred city in preparation to play James Gordon in 2017's Justice League.
The 61-year-old Whiplash star brought on esteemed trainer-to-the-stars Aaron Williamson to build him into the grizzled police commissioner. Williamson said in an interview with Business Insider, "He wants to have some 'beefing' guns to show people that he is just not that guy that does Farmers commercials."
Williamson put Simmons on a two-workout program and mapped out a muscle-bulking meal plan. Three to four days per week, Simmons would ride his bicycle to the gym before warming up with 15 minutes of cardio. Workout #1 focused on chest/back/shoulders, and Workout #2 was all arms and abs (as evidenced by the Instagram pictures he posted then).
Simmons's diet was like others on the list: Lean meat, veggies, oats, and a few squares of dark chocolate as "cheats." Considering he wouldn't have to display his new body in Justice League, the effort he made was impressive… even if he was skipping leg day.[6]
4 Kumail Nanjiani: Kingo
Kumail Nanjiani put in the extra effort on his way to becoming Kingo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "Chase the pain" was the Silicon Valley star's training mantra.
Nanjiani trained five days a week for the year leading up to shooting Eternals. The bulk of this was with trainer Grant Roberts. He spent the first six months bulking. Utilizing "old school" lifts and electric stimulation devices, Nanjiani focused purely on gaining size.
Next was a "sculpting" phase. This involved classic bodybuilder workouts, drop sets (weight goes up as the reps go down), and cable machines to achieve maximum muscle growth. Nanjiani ate four meals a day, with one cheat meal per week. His diet consisted mainly of eggs, chicken, rice, fish, avocados, and protein bars. In addition, he used a simple supplement stack of pre-workout, whey protein, vitamins, and cod liver oil.
Nanjiani has no plans to test his new physique out in a boxing ring or MMA cage. When asked if he felt he was now more intimidating, he stated, "Not at all. These muscles are useless. They're decorative."[7]
3 Brie Larson: Carol Danvers
"Nine months of training really does some stuff to your body." Truer words were never spoken by Captain Marvel star Brie Larson. The actress had already attained a lean, sinewy physique for her role in the film Room. But prepping to play Carol Danvers required taking her baseline to the next level.
Larson worked with trainer Jason Walsh of Rise Movement to get her body in Marvel shape. Walsh told Men's Journal that Larson's routine focused on mobility work, activation work, and then primary strength exercises. Walsh said, "That could be a squat aspect, bilateral exercises, unilateral moves, hip-hinge work, and a lot of hip thrusting and posterior chain work. Then we'd do circuits of secondary exercises—basically everything other than those primary moves."
This included a deadlift, back and biceps routine, and a squats, glutes, and legs routine. For her diet, Larson started eating paleo before moving into a "clean food" diet or high protein and low carb food. She supplemented her training with creatine monohydrate.
The grind to get in Carol Danvers shape yielded one unexpected outcome: Larson reached her goal of being able to perform one-armed pull-ups.[8]
2 Tom Holland: Spider-Man
It's fortunate for Tom Holland that Peter Parker isn't built like Thor Odinson. Holland had just been required to lose weight for his previous film, leaving him just six weeks to transform his svelte figure into that of the agile web-slinger.
With the help of trainer George Ashwell, Holland added an impressive 15.5 pounds (7 kilograms) of muscle to his 5'8″ (173-meter) frame. Because time was of the essence, Holland worked with Ashwell every day of those six weeks.
His routine focused on compound movements and functional exercises. This would help Holland fill out the Spidey suit a bit while improving movement and agility. This required stretching, deadlifts, incline bench presses, dips, bear crawls, dumbbell thrusters, renegade rows, chin-ups, and running. For recovery, Holland spent 30 minutes on the massage table after each session.
To keep body fat low while building muscle, Ashwell put Holland on a "two-fist" bulking plan. That meant that each meal eaten contained two fist-sized portions each of protein, carbs, and greens. For supplementation, he kept it simple, using collagen, Omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins. For the third Spider-Man film, he also incorporated muscle stimulation devices into his workouts.[9]
1 Natalie Portman: Jane Foster/Mighty Thor
When Natalie Portman throws herself into film roles, she takes it to the next level of dedication. She shaved her head for V for Vendetta and emaciated herself for her role in Black Swan.
Now that she is taking up the mantle of Thor, another radical body renovation was necessary. This time, the goal was to pack on lean muscle. Portman generally stays fit by running and practicing "Gyrotonic" exercises (Imagine a blend of yoga, tai-chi, and gymnastics).
Trainer Naomi Pendergast worked with Portman for four months before shooting, then all through production. Regarding her preparation for the latest Thor film, Portman has been tight-lipped about her actual routine. She did reveal to Vanity Fair, "We did a lot of weight training and a lot of protein shakes—heavyweight training that I haven't ever done before."
Portman has been a vegan or vegetarian since she was nine years old. To fuel her workouts, she took in a lot of iron-rich veggies, fruit, almond milk, leafy greens, oatmeal, and pasta. Her supplement regimen was simple: Vitamin D and a monthly Vitamin B-12 shot.
When asked by television host Andy Cohen if she had a workout plan like co-star Chris Hemsworth's, Portman said, "Yes, I am training, and I'm in so much pain. Like, I'm not good at this." Good or not, the results have spoken for themselves. She is worthy.[10]

Gosforth Academy New Schools
Newcastle Great Park Expansion Formally Approved
We are pleased to announce that Newcastle City Council has issued formal planning consent for the expansion of Newcastle Great Park which includes the site for the Great Park Academy.
Newcastle City Council issued the following press release on October 4th 2019
'Newcastle Great Park expansion formally approved
A major planning application for 1,200 new homes and two schools in Newcastle has been given formal approval.
Newcastle City Council has issued formal planning consent for an expansion of Newcastle Great Park near Gosforth in the north of the city.
It means work can now begin on 1,200 new homes – a mix of marketable and affordable housing 75% of which will be for families.
Two new schools will also be built – a first school providing spaces for 450 pupils and a middle/secondary school for up to 1,700 pupils.
The phased multi-million development on the northern edge of the Great Park also involves the creation of new habitats for wildlife, ecological enhancements, new playing fields, a changing pavilion, car parking and new public open spaces on what is mainly agricultural land.
There will also be significant investment in the highway infrastructure including new cycle routes and bus services to ensure it can accommodate the transport requirements of new families moving into the area.
The application was granted planning approval by councillors in December 2018, but it has taken eight months of negotiation for all parties, including the council and developers to sign the legal agreement triggering the formal planning approval by planners.
Cabinet Member for Housing, Cllr Linda Hobson, welcomed the approval and urged all parties to start work without delay.
Cllr Hobson said: "The approval of this big application is great news for Newcastle because its population is growing."
"If we are to continue to grow, it's imperative we provide more housing – housing for people on all incomes so Newcastle continues to be a fair and inclusive city. That is what this application is all about."
"Attracting new families means greater demand for our schools, so I am delighted the city will also get two new schools – a first and middle/secondary school – which together will create spaces for up to 2,000 pupils from four-year-olds right through to 16-year-olds."
"This will greatly help the council created the new school places need to support housing growth. It will also create a sustainable community that will provide an economic stimulus for our economy."
"We have waited a long time for this day."
"Our children deserve state-of-the-art schools to give them the best possible start in life, so I urge all those involved to get on with it and build the homes that Newcastle so badly needs."
Work began on Newcastle Great Park in 2001. It's expected to be complete by 2034.
So far 2,000 of the 4,500 homes promised have been built. '
