Children’s House Montessori School assistants graduate |14 April 2023
A batch of assistants from the Children’s House Montessori School at Bel Air have graduated after attending training sessions at the Academy of High Performance run by Barry Laine.
The four graduates are Megan Tirant, Jessee Eulentin, Alisia Jean-Louis and Terryl Confiance.
The training sessions covered self-analysis and improvement, dealing with others and customer service.
The management of Children’s House Montessori School are always treading the path of progress and continuously striving to attain high standards. As a preschool and a primary institution, the management are aware that their teaching and their caring for the children and the methods they use must stand out and be of high quality because they are addressing the children’s mind at the time most vulnerable in the children’s life. These are the formative years for the children when their sub-conscious mind develops according to the standard of teaching on offer to them and the environment at home.
Preschool learning establishes a strong foundation in social, pre-academic and general life skills that will prepare the children for their primary school. Research has shown that children who graduate from preschool have improved academic readiness, lower failure rates and achieve higher positions and earnings in life.
In order to meet the high standard required to prepare these children to be confident learners, the management of this establishment has invested in training their assistants with additional skills and knowledge so that they can serve the children with an improved knowledge base and achievement for themselves.
The four assistants who graduated at the Academy of High Performance are now ready to provide an improved level of service and their own knowledge based has been enhanced beyond their wildest dream. They now possess advanced knowledge of how to deal with the children but also how to interact at a much improved level with the children’s parents.
It is a proven fact that when the children complete their term at the Children’s House Montessori School they take away with them the well-respected Montessori method of education that serves them well for years to come in their further education and then in the work place.
The children at this preschool and primary institution are taught how to achieve confidence, independence and self-motivation and what they learn here becomes the bedrock for their future prosperity and provide them with good grounding to continue to learn until the day comes when work for a living arrives and they are ready to embrace a position in society wherever they are in the world. That’s the Montessori Method.
Congratulations to the assistants who have made time and effort to attend the training and we wish them well.

Literally “mancha blanca” means “white spot”, a reference to the white spots that one can see on the Caldera Blanca, the nearby volcano of the village. These white patches are due to the presence of lime in rocks of this volcano eruptions that predates the eighteenth century.
Mancha Blanca is at the eastern edge of the Natural Park of Los Volcanes. 4 km west of the town is the enormous crater of Caldera Blanca (458 m) and the smaller one of the Montaña Caldereta (322 m); north is the égueulé crater of Montaña de Guiguán, also named Montaña de Los Dolores; 4 km to the southwest lies the volcano Montaña de Tinguatón which threatened houses of Mancha Blanca in the most recent eruption in 1824.
The village of Mancha Blanca is on the LZ-67 road from Yaiza to Tinajo, and, beyond, to the coastal resort of La Santa. Mancha Blanca shape with two other villages Guiguán and Tajaste, an urbanized area continues along the LZ-67 highway to Tinajo. 2 km southwest of Mancha Blanca is the Visitor Center of the National Park Timanfaya. 2km away is the entrance to the National Park.
In front of the church Our Lady of Sorrows is a huge square with new stalls built of volcanic stone, which is held every Sunday farmer’s market (Mercado Agrícola y Artesanal) famous. The peasants of the region come to sell their produce, sometimes transported by camel or donkey, especially to attract the tourist. There are mainly fruit, vegetables, cheese, fish and wine, and some handicrafts.
All September 15 - on the occasion of the procession of Our Lady of Sorrows - this site hosts the Feria Insular de Artesania de Mancha Blanca, where all the crafts of the island of Lanzarote are presented, accompanied by folk events.
The church Our Lady of Sorrows originates in the volcanoes of the eighteenth century, from 1730 to 1736. While the molten lava were advancing towards the village, the inhabitants carried in procession the statue of the Virgin of Sorrows (Virgen de los Dolores), borrowed from the church San Roque de Tinajo, in front of the lava flow glowing. Casting the Montaña de Guiguán or Montaña de los Dolores, would suddenly frozen, saving the village saved by the protective mantle of the Virgin.
A wooden cross was erected at the spot where the lava had stopped; this cross, 1 m high, is still visible near the church; it is attached to a larger cross and is dated April 16, 1736. A promise was made to build a chapel in gratitude to the Virgin of Sorrows. However the promise to build a chapel was not kept by the small community - very poor - of Mancha Blanca. Legend has it that in 1774 a young shepherdess, Juana Rafaela, by grazing his goats on the slopes of the Caldera de Guiguán, had the appearance of a woman dressed in black - which was none other than the Virgin - which reminded him of the promise. After a second appearance, the villagers resolved to keep their promise; a first small chapel was built around 1781; it housed the image of Our Lady of the Volcanoes (Nuestra Señora de los Volcanes), transferred from the church of Tinajo.
In 1824 a new phase of volcanism occurred, and the village of Mancha Blanca was threatened by the lava of the volcano Tinguatón. Once again the Virgin Volcanoes saved the village. But around 1850, the chapel was threatened with ruin and the statue had to be transferred to Tinajo. A new church was built and was inaugurated in 1862.
The Notre-Dame des Volcans is a building with a single nave, whose side walls are supported by three buttresses basalt stones. The facade is very simple, with a portal surmounted by a round arch. Above the door a oculus illuminates the interior of the nave. A double steeple crowns the facade. Above the choir a dome topped by a glazed lantern illuminates the inside.
Every year on 15 September, takes place the Fiesta de la Virgen de los Volcanes, and a solemn procession carries the image of the Virgin to the foot of the volcano Montaña de Guiguán. Our Lady of Sorrows is the patron saint of the island of Lanzarote.
The sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows is located at the exit of the village, on the LZ-46 road towards La Vegueta.
The lookout Guiguán is one of the least known of Lanzarote; it is on the LZ-67 highway at the northern end of the village of Mancha Blanca, on the border with the village of Guiguán. This belvedere overlooking the crater égueulé of Montaña de Guiguán where you can admire the patient work of the farmers who have highlighted these lands; in small terraced fields, won on the slopes of the crater and separated by lava rock walls, to practice culture on pozzolan (enarenado). In the distance you can see the blue of the ocean. You can go down the crater by a stone staircase.
The restaurant Los Dolores is located on the market square, Plaza Virgin de los Dolores, in front of Our Lady of Sorrows Church. This is where the natives eat breakfast after the Sunday morning market. Tapas and Canarian cuisine.

Having developed a strong following locally and across Canada on the strength of their debut 2002 release Sinking Hearts, Vancouver's The Organ spent much of 2003/04 busy recording their debut album for Mint/604 Records. Based around the warm and melancholic tones of Jenny's Hammond organ, along with Katie’s Morrissey-meets-Alison Moyet-esque vocals, and Deb's guitar that alludes to Johnny Marr perhaps, the band's music has been described as "haunting and intense." Sadly, the brilliant pop melodies were extenguished even though they had really began and Grab That Gun marks the all-too-early end of one of Vancouver's most promising bands of the early aughts.
Grab That Gun proves that the band has plenty of room for expression within its rather limited palette of droning organs, succinct drumming and sharp, upturned guitar lines that give new meaning to the term "hook." While this sound comes from the legacy of '80s college rock -- at times suggesting a fusion of the Smiths' witty, bouncy melancholy and the on-the-sleeve passion of Throwing Muses -- and also has ties to some of the other bands remaking new wave and post-punk in their own images, the Organ and Grab That Gun have a freshness that isn't often heard in any kind of rock music. - allmusic
You know those albums that eliminate all traces of doubt from your mind within the first few bars? The Strokes' Is This It was one. So was Editors' The Back Room, and Arcade Fire's Funeral. The Organ's debut effort Grab That Gun can now be added to that exclusive list - make a note of it. - MusicOMH
... the combination of defiant but despairing lyrics and simple melodic verve pushes The Organ over the thin line that separates the inspired from the derivative. - BBC

On Aug. 6, Terry and I had the excellent opportunity to sit with Scott Hawley of both Torrin and Lagom Wineries, along with David Newell, his director of sales and hospitality.
In a few short years, Scott has gained wide acclaim for his Rhone and Burgundy creations. Jeb Dunnuck, formerly one of Robert Parker’s top critics, said of Scott, “With his first release in 2006, owner/winemaker Scott Hawley has quickly risen to the top tier of producers in California.” This, after giving Torrin’s 2010 Akasha James Berry Vineyard a chart-topping 98! Wine Spectator lauded Scott, for “Torrin’s stunningly rich, smooth and polished reds.”
Scott (who has worked for other wineries such as Fetzer and Law) has experience making either a ton of wine or only a few bottles, as seen in the 1.5 million cases/year for Fetzer to his current 3,000 cases. We met with Scott and David at their relatively new tasting room in Paso Robles. In 2015, Scott purchased 70 acres (15 plant-able) and is in the process of developing this new vineyard. He will likely continue to purchase fruit from landmark vineyards such as Bien Nacido and James Berry.
When sourcing fruit from others, he commits to buying on a per-acre basis. Consequently, he can determine how those acres and the rows therein are farmed, everything from how to fruit thin to how to shoot thin, when and how to water, and all other aspects of growing the grapes so that they meet his exacting standards. “We don’t look at it as if we are growing grapes – rather, we are growing wine.” His attitude matches what every winemaker has told me – to make great wine, you must have great fruit.
Scott doesn’t come by winemaking naturally. He grew up in Porterville in a strict Baptist household with no alcohol at all, let alone some wine. He remembers the heady, delightful aromas from all the citrus trees grown in that area. College opened new worlds for him, including an introduction to wine. He was drawn to Gewürztraminer, perhaps because of the floral profile it presented. It kinda reminded him of home, a link back to his childhood.
He graduated from Fresno State and went to work for Fetzer. Now, while Fetzer may be more akin to Gallo than to Saxum, it also has marketing and production agreements with winemakers all over the world. This presented Scott with the opportunity of exploring many wine regions outside the U.S., like Burgundy, where he discovered the difference between a California chardonnay meant to be consumed within six months of bottling and a white Burgundy that would shine with all-new dimensions after it was 10 or 15 years old. This on-the-job training helped Scott crystallize his approach to winemaking.
If there’s a signature style to Scott’s wine, he says that it’s not so much what he does in the winery once the grapes are harvested. Instead, it’s when he decides to pick the grapes. He walks the rows, tasting fruit. Once it tastes the way he wants, he looks at what’s going to be happening in the vineyard over the next 10 days (weather, wind, etc.) to decide if harvest is optimal then or in a couple of days. It’s a talent he’s acquired over time, after tasting harvest after harvest and then reflecting on the final product from each vintage. He judges the taste, the sugar level, the phenolics, the total fruit maturity to finally decide when to pick.
Because he knows that he will not add sugar, yeast, or acid, he needs the entire spectrum of the grape to be at as close an ideal balance as possible.
So, this is how this good Baptist boy has matured to where he can make consistently outstanding wine from one year to the next. We will talk about his wines in the next column.
Carl Kanowsky is an attorney, a fledgling baker, an enthusiastic cook and an expert wine drinker.

If you had told my seventeen-year old self that one day I would be able to stroll into a dispensary and buy pure THC oil, I would have said, you must be high. Back then, we took what we could get, be it filled with seeds that popped, stems that smoldered, or fragrant flowers from someone’s cousin in California.
By my mid twenties, I’d grown tired of getting high. Even if I’d been interested, I had no wired-in dorm mate or cool single friend to hook me up. If I was looking for a buzz, margaritas and martinis were a much easier and socially acceptable way to get one.
Decades passed. Marijuana was a pleasant memory of my youth. Then I was given a tiny bud. After smoking, I remembered why I’d loved it. An immediate release of tension, a wave of calm and sense of well being. I savored my small stash. When it was gone, like in my teens, I took what I could get; a few grams from someone’s own garden, a gift of gummy sensimilla that dried to dust over the two years it lasted. With today’s legal cannabis in many states, however, uncertain quality and supply is just a memory.
That’s not all that’s changed. When I first started smoking I had my life ahead of me. Now, there is less ahead than behind. Some things about growing older are great. I’m comfortable with myself and my place in the universe. After twenty-seven years, my husband and I have hit our stride. My children are on their way to being independent. My work is meaningful.
There is, unfortunately, a price to pay for that wisdom. While the mind expands, the body deteriorates. Knees ache, shoulders freeze. Exercise is mandatory. Sometimes I’m thrilled to lace up my sneakers and pump iron. Mostly, it feels like a chore. But not when I’m high.
When I’m high, exercising feels like a privilege. I appreciate how lucky I am to have a strong body that works. The aches and pains are like fingers pointing to joints or muscles that need extra love. A longer stretch, a bit of strengthening. I push through heavy weights with music pulsing in my ears. I sink onto a yoga mat and melt into the floor.
But my relationship with marijuana is more than just physical. Emotionally, pot stills the endless chatter in my mind. It’s like warm water sluicing through my cerebellum rinsing away the gunk that gets stuck between the folds. Spiritually, it helps me unplug. I breathe. I contemplate my future, my past, the meaning of my life.
To be sure, there are drawbacks. Do not ask me to do math when I’m high. While it fuels my creativity, it also temporarily shaves a few IQ points. As with alcohol, moderation is key. I limit my use to avoid the inevitable brain fog from smoking too much or too often.
As time marches on, the injustices of age will continue. I don’t like taking pills. I’m glad to know that marijuana will be with me to ease the impending discomfort. My husband and I plan on selling our suburban home. We hope to find something great in the city. God willing, we’ll have twenty years living on our own but if we ever need more help, wherever we go will have to be pot friendly.
By the time I’m ready to move into a retirement community, I’m hopeful there will be options for those who partake. The many hour-long lines outside the doors of the first two recreational cannabis stores in Massachusetts tell us the demand is there. I see endless possibilities for marijuana focused activities: toke ’n yoga, food and pot pairings, cultivation classes. I look forward to holding hands with marijuana for the rest of my life. Here’s to you, Mary Jane, my friend. Let’s grow old together.

Being a parent is a wonderful and challenging journey. It’s our duty to provide the best for our little ones, but we all know how difficult it can be at times. Fortunately, high-quality childcare centres are out there that could make a world of difference in your child’s growth from their learning ability to emotional development. Consider the following when choosing the best childcare centre for your child.
Location plays a large role when choosing the right childcare centre. Think beyond proximity to home or work, what local services are nearby. Public transport options could help save time and money on travel costs, and banks & supermarkets could make life more convenient. Ask yourself how close it is, how long it takes you to get there and evaluate transportation that may be best suited for you. And these questions should all factor into this major choice.
Childcare centres should ensure their staff are the best of the best. They need to be knowledgeable, kind, and reliable. The staff of Sparkways childcare Carrum Downs believes that it’s not just about day-to-day caregiving though. And they must have excellent communication skills so they can communicate with parents and community members easily. On top of that, foster strong connections with children by taking time out from work activities regularly (e.g., catching up with grandparents). This will create an environment where everyone in your kid’s life feels happy and supported.
When choosing a childcare facility, there are some important elements to consider like the cleanliness and safety of their space. It’s also essential that they provide toys and equipment as well as outdoor play areas where children can run around freely. Take time to investigate how much space is available within each classroom. Or look into whether an indoor playroom exists alongside the outdoor one. And it’ll give you peace of mind knowing your child has plenty of options throughout their day. Additionally, make sure kitchen facilities exist (as required by law) so meals can be prepared if needed. Finally, check on bathroom availability during peak times such as lunch hour. Or pick up/drop off at school, allowing parents privacy when changing diapers etcetera.
Childcare is a significant expenditure for many parents, both in terms of cost and what the money will be buying. Depending on your budget and needs, you may need to decide between standard or premier facilities with highly trained staff – though even within those categories there are various fees (registration & subsidies) plus other expenses such as textbooks that should all factor into the equation. And above all else: with so much at stake it’s important to make sure every dollar counts towards secure quality childcare for your family.
With so many choices of daycare and preschools, it’s essential to find the one that truly resonates with your children’s individual needs. After all, when we look for a learning environment for our little ones, ensuring an age-appropriate curriculum is just as important as taking into account their unique styles by incorporating different sensory teaching techniques. Or catering activities according to each child’s abilities and preferences and set them up on the track for success.
Policies and Procedures
When you’re exploring a childcare centre, it’s essential to take the policies and procedures into account. Questions such as how they handle behaviour management:
- Do they use reward systems or discipline methods?
- Do in-house rules line up with provincial guidelines?
- And if your child needs medications administered for illness/injury, are there staff members trained in first aid and CPR that can help out?
Emergency protocols should also be outlined clearly so parents will feel comfortable knowing their children are safe both at home and school. Any emergency situation is taken care of swiftly by informing them immediately.
Choosing the right childcare centre for your little one is an important decision. So, it’s essential to make sure that any potential option meets all the necessary standards. To help you on this journey of discovery and assurance, accreditation means a centre has been certified according to national regulations while licensing signifies that they have passed local inspections, both are equally crucial in confirming quality care. Be proactive when researching centres, their website or brochures could indicate their statuses with regard to regulatory compliance but don’t hesitate to reach out directly if more information is needed.
To ensure the safety of your child, it’s important to be informed about who is looking after them. That’s why background checks are mandatory by law, and you can easily get one from their childcare centre. When requesting a copy, make sure that you know what information matters most for your specific situation, like if they have any convictions related to caring for children with special needs or disabilities. Getting this info will help guarantee assurance in knowing whether someone is truly qualified for such an establishment.
Security Measures in Place
When choosing a daycare centre for your child, it’s important to make sure that proper security measures are in place. 24/7 surveillance cameras guarantee ongoing protection against potential harm while trained security professionals remain on-site during drop-off and pick-up hours. Moreover, all doors should be locked when children aren’t present inside the building so only authorised personnel can enter through them. Lastly, staff members must always wear ID badges which not only reassure parents of knowing who is taking care of their kids but also ensure that no one leaves work unexpectedly without being noticed first.

Even if your casting ability is lacking, or you just can't seem to find the fish, learning about fishing can assist you to improve your fishing experience. If you want to get better at fishing, this is the perfect article for you.
Fishing along the shoreline of a river or lake can yield amazing results. Fish like shallow waters, as they're easier to find food in, so you're more likely to get a bite there as well. The number of weeds along the shore make snagging your line more likely, so be careful.
In the cold weather, sinkers are a good product to have when fishing. Sinkers add weight to the line which allow your bait to reach lower depths where fish dwell this time of year. The weight of sinkers on your fishing line will depend on the depth of water.
After choosing the perfect location, cast your line upstream. By casting upstream from the location you want to fish, your bait will float down past the fish. This looks natural and can can do as much, or more, to attract a fish as your choice in bait can. For areas with an obstruction, this method is very useful.
Try your hand at fly fishing. There are numerous reasons to try fly fishing; however, you should understand that it is much different from most other types of fishing. You'll need entirely new equipment. This includes rods, lures, and even clothing.
Make sure you are taking time to watch the birds when you are fishing. If you discover that birds are diving near a certain location, it is a good indicator that there are many fish at that spot. Diving birds usually mean that they have found their favorite meal. Watch the birds next time you fish and they may lead you to a great spot!
Look for areas of deep water. Check into areas that have the deepest water when you are river fishing. Fish usually congregate in these types of areas. In addition, they enjoy hanging out around big rocks and ledges. When you discover an excellent spot on the river, take note of the exact location for the future.
Never go out fishing without first checking the weather forecast. In addition to checking the weather prior to leaving, it is advisable to listen to the radio while fishing in case the weather changes.
Learn what the fishing laws of the location are that you will be fishing in. Regulations are varied and can apply to certain bodies of water, specific fish species and changing seasons. If you don't know the local laws, call the hunting and fishing bureau in that state for more information.
Although fishing can be a peaceful, relaxing and productive hobby, if you can't seem to catch anything it becomes an exercise in frustration. The advice from this article has been created so that you will be able to get your fish, and have more fun as you are doing so. Keep them in mind on your next trip and you'll have more fun than ever!

Parents, ever wonder what you are paying for when taking your child to dance?
Yes dance class can add up but is it worth it? Yes, it is because you are not just paying for your child to learn an art form (which is valuable alone) but you are paying for them to learn life lessons through dance and that, you can not put a price tag on.
So what will your child learn from dance?
We can start with how to take care of their body. Learning this at a young age will make their life and health better for the long run.
How about learning to deal with disappointment? We all know it will come in life and while we don’t want it for our children it is inevitable, so why not learn a healthy and productive way to deal with it. Dance teaches that.
Setting goals and learning how to take the steps to achieve them is another important life skill, it’s learned in dance.
Understanding that hard work is important and how to not give up, yep, you guessed it, learned in dance.
All kids need guidance in life and let’s face it, it takes a village, or sometimes a dance studio but I can promise you this is the place to put your most prized possession and know that they will make lasting friendships and be surrounded with positive role models that truly invest right back into your child.
So when you are sending in that payment remember you are not paying for them to learn a fancy dance move but life lessons through an amazing art form in a safe and loving community.

U.S. equities concluded Thursday’s session with declines as investors turned their attention to the forthcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, the outcome of which could signal the Federal Reserve’s next move on interest rates. The Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased by roughly 0.5%, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq fell by 0.7% and 1.2%, respectively.
Inflation Data Takes Center Stage
The widely anticipated CPI data for July, scheduled for release tonight, is forecasted to reveal a modest uptick in annual inflation. Monthly consumer prices are projected to rise 0.2%, mirroring June’s increase. The market’s primary focus, however, will be on core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy components.
Chinese Economic Data Weighs on Global Sentiment
Yesterday’s data from China, indicating a continuous fall in producer prices and a dip into deflation for the consumer price index, contributed to concerns about the nation’s economic recovery. This follows disappointing trade figures, further pointing to weakened domestic and international demand.
Forex and Treasuries: Mixed Signals
In foreign exchange, the U.S. Dollar showed mixed performance, with the Dollar Index modestly rising 0.04% to 102.46. Notable currency pairs such as EUR/USD and GBP/USD showed varied movement, while USD/JPY rebounded near last week’s high.
Yields on U.S. government debt demonstrated volatility, with the 10-year Treasury note yield dropping slightly after the U.S. Treasury Department’s sale, and the two-year note reflecting increased interest rate expectations.
Commodities: Crude Oil Peaks, Gold Retreats
Crude oil benchmarks achieved new highs, with Brent reaching levels not seen since January. U.S. fuel stockpile reductions and production cuts from Saudi Arabia and Russia balanced concerns over China’s slowing demand. Conversely, gold prices dipped as investors awaited U.S. inflation numbers.
Digital Assets: SEC Decision Impacts Cryptocurrency
The cryptocurrency market saw a pullback following news of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) intention to appeal a recent court ruling regarding Ripple’s XRP digital token. The SEC’s longstanding position on cryptocurrencies as securities affected major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Market Overview and Implications
The collective market response reflects anticipation around key inflation data and concerns over global economic indicators. Investors’ cautious sentiment pervaded diverse asset classes, including equities, forex, commodities, and digital currencies.
In the coming days, market participants will closely watch central bank decisions and regulatory developments that could shape broader financial market trends. The CPI data is poised to be a pivotal moment, potentially dictating Federal Reserve policy and impacting various market sectors.
Investors may consider aligning their portfolios with these evolving dynamics, recognizing potential opportunities and risks in a market environment defined by uncertainty and macroeconomic variables. The unfolding landscape underscores the importance of vigilance and strategic positioning in the face of complex global financial interconnections.

My ET-3400 is 99% on its way to living again. I found some 7-seg LEDs
that seem to work, and I've done some simple logic tests that check-out
OK. I still have no ROM for the thing, but that didn't stop any of the
old Altair hackers, so.... How hard would it be (for a software guy) to
replace the ROM with something else, say, a parallel cable from a PC that
fed data through the ROM socket?
The clock is already very slow, 500KHz, I think, but I could slow it to
1HZ if it would help. Could I software decode the address, do whatever
handshaking I need to do from the TTL-levels on LPT1, and emulate a ROM
without buying a ROM emulator?

Get ready to make the most of your time in this enchanting country and embark on a journey like no other.
Italy’s Geographic Diversity
Italy is a country known for its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture. However, one of the challenges travelers face when exploring Italy is the vast geographical diversity of the country. From the mountainous regions in the north to the sun-soaked islands in the south, navigating long distances can be a daunting task. Understanding this challenge is crucial for optimizing travel time and distance in Italy.
Italy’s geographic diversity presents both opportunities and obstacles for travelers. On one hand, it offers a unique chance to experience diverse landscapes and immerse oneself in different cultures. On the other hand, it requires careful planning to ensure efficient travel. The country’s long distances can result in extended travel times if not properly managed.
To tackle the challenge of traveling long distances in Italy, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the transportation options available. One of the most efficient ways to navigate through Italy is by utilizing its extensive railway network. Trains are frequent, reliable, and often provide scenic routes that showcase Italy’s natural beauty. With high-speed trains connecting major cities like Rome, Florence, Venice, and Milan, traveling long distances has never been easier.
In addition to railways, road trips offer another exciting opportunity to explore Italy’s scenic routes while calculating road travel time. Renting a car allows you to have more flexibility and freedom in your itinerary. However, it is important to consider traffic conditions and plan your route accordingly to avoid unnecessary delays.
Efficient Transportation Options
Italy’s extensive railway network provides efficient transportation options for travelers looking to optimize travel time and distance in the country. The Italian railway system, known as Ferrovie dello Stato, covers a vast majority of the country, connecting major cities, towns, and even remote areas. With its well-maintained tracks and frequent train services, navigating through Italy by train offers convenience, comfort, and the opportunity to admire the scenic beauty of the country.
One of the main advantages of traveling by train in Italy is the speed and efficiency of the rail connections. High-speed trains, such as the Frecciarossa and Italo trains, operate between major cities like Rome, Milan, Florence, Venice, and Naples.
These trains can reach speeds of up to 300 km/h (186 mph), allowing travelers to cover long distances in a relatively short amount of time. For example, a journey from Rome to Florence can be completed in just 1 hour and 30 minutes on a high-speed train.
In addition to high-speed trains, Italy also has an extensive network of regional and local trains that connect smaller towns and villages. These trains offer a more affordable option for traveling shorter distances within specific regions of Italy. While they may not be as fast as high-speed trains, regional trains still provide a convenient way to explore different parts of the country at a slower pace while enjoying picturesque landscapes along the way.

Italy is known for its picturesque landscapes and charming countryside, making it a perfect destination for a road trip adventure. Exploring Italy’s scenic routes not only allows travelers to immerse themselves in the beauty of the country but also provides the flexibility and freedom to discover hidden gems along the way. However, before embarking on a road trip in Italy, it is important to understand how to calculate road travel time and make the most of your journey.
Understanding Road Travel Time
Calculating road travel time in Italy requires considering various factors such as distance, speed limits, traffic conditions, and planned stops along the way. It is essential to plan your route beforehand using reliable maps or navigation apps that provide real-time updates on traffic congestion and estimated travel time.
Additionally, being aware of speed limits is crucial to ensure a safe journey as well as avoiding unnecessary fines. In Italy, the standard speed limit on highways is typically 130 km/h (80 mph) and 110 km/h (68 mph) on major roads outside urban areas.
Choosing Scenic Routes
Italy offers an abundance of scenic routes that showcase its natural beauty and cultural heritage. From breathtaking coastal drives along the Amalfi Coast to winding mountain roads in Tuscany, there are countless options for those seeking memorable road trip experiences.
Some popular scenic routes include the Stelvio Pass in the Italian Alps, which boasts spectacular views at every turn, and the Strada del Prosecco in Veneto region, where you can enjoy panoramic vineyards and charming villages along the way. Researching and selecting these scenic routes in advance will not only enhance your travel experience but also ensure that you make efficient use of your time while exploring Italy.
Planning Stops Along the Way
One of the advantages of a road trip is having the freedom to stop at various attractions or points of interest along your route. It is advisable to plan your stops strategically to optimize travel time and distance. Prioritize landmarks, UNESCO World Heritage sites, small towns, and local restaurants that interest you the most. By planning ahead, you can ensure that you make the most of your time on the road while still allowing for spontaneous discoveries along the way.
Embarking on a road trip in Italy allows travelers to uncover hidden treasures and experience the country’s diverse landscapes at their own pace. By understanding how to calculate road travel time, choosing scenic routes wisely, and planning strategic stops along the way, you can maximize your journey and create lasting memories of your Italian adventure.

Untangling the Metro Network
Italy is not only known for its stunning landscapes and historical sites, but also for its bustling cities. When traveling to Italy, it is important to master the art of navigating through the metro networks in major cities. This section will provide tips on how to efficiently get around Italy’s major cities using their metro systems.
Understanding the Metro Networks
Italy’s major cities like Rome, Milan, Naples, and Turin have well-developed metro networks that provide a convenient and efficient way to travel within the city. Each city has its own system with different lines and routes that cover various areas.
To navigate through these networks effectively, it is essential to understand the structure of each metro system. Familiarize yourself with the different lines and their corresponding destinations. Look for maps or diagrams online or at metro stations to get an overview of the network.
Purchasing Tickets and Passes
Before boarding any metro in Italy, it is crucial to have a valid ticket or pass. In most cities, tickets can be purchased at ticket machines located within the station or from ticket offices. It is important to note that some cities have different types of tickets such as single tickets for one-time use or passes for unlimited travel within a certain time period.
Consider purchasing a travel card or pass if you plan on extensively using the metro during your stay in Italy’s major cities. These cards often offer discounts and flexibility in terms of unlimited rides for a specified duration.
Tips for Efficient Travel
Navigating through Italy’s major city metros can be overwhelming due to crowded platforms and trains during peak hours. However, there are a few tips that can help make your journey more efficient:
- Avoid traveling during rush hours: The morning and evening rush hours tend to be packed with commuters. Try adjusting your travel times by either going earlier or later in order to avoid crowded trains.
- Use mobile apps or online resources: Many cities have mobile apps or websites that provide real-time information about metro schedules, delays, and route changes. These can be incredibly helpful in planning your journey and avoiding any surprises.
- Be mindful of pickpockets: As with any crowded public transportation system, it is important to stay vigilant and take precautions against pickpockets. Keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings.
With these tips in mind, you can confidently navigate through Italy’s major cities using their metro networks. By mastering the art of traveling efficiently within these cities, you’ll be able to maximize your time and distance while exploring all the wonders that Italy has to offer.
Island Hopping Made Easy
Italy is not only known for its stunning mainland, but also for its beautiful islands scattered along the coastline. From the popular and well-known islands of Sicily and Sardinia to the hidden gems like Capri and Elba, exploring these islands is a must-do for any traveler visiting Italy.
However, navigating through these islands can sometimes be a challenge. In this section, we will provide you with some tips on maximizing travel time and distance among Italy’s beautiful isles.
Research and Plan Ahead
Before embarking on your island hopping adventure in Italy, it is crucial to do some research and plan ahead. Familiarize yourself with the various ferry routes available and their schedules. Some ferries may only operate during certain months or on specific days of the week, so it is essential to check the timetables in advance. Additionally, consider the duration of each ferry ride between the islands to help you plan your itinerary effectively.
Create a Logical Itinerary
When hopping between multiple islands, creating a logical itinerary can save you time and help you make the most of your trip. Consider starting with an island that has better transportation connections or more frequent ferry services. This will allow you to easily access other islands without wasting too much time waiting for transport options.
Additionally, think about the geographical proximity of the islands when planning your itinerary. Opting for islands that are close to each other can minimize travel time and maximize your exploration opportunities.
Be Mindful of Seasonal Demand
It is important to note that some Italian islands experience higher levels of tourist demand during peak seasons such as summer months. During these times, it may be advisable to book your ferry tickets in advance to secure your spot, especially if you have limited time on your trip. Planning ahead will help you avoid long waits at ferry terminals or even missing out on certain routes due to high demand.
By following these tips, you can make the most of your time and distance while island hopping in Italy. Remember to research and plan ahead, create a logical itinerary, and be mindful of seasonal demand. Now that you are equipped with these tips, get ready to explore the beauty of Italy’s stunning islands and make unforgettable memories along the way.

However, it’s important to note that the width of Italy can vary significantly depending on the region considered, as the country has a distinctive boot shape with coastal areas and mountainous regions.
How many miles is it from top to bottom of Italy?
From top to bottom, Italy measures around 920 miles in length. This measurement considers both mainland Italy and its islands – Sicily in the south and Sardinia in the west. This longitudinal measurement spans from Italy’s northern border with Switzerland all the way down to where Sicily lies in the Mediterranean Sea.
How far apart are cities in Italy?
The distance between cities in Italy can vary greatly depending on their geographical locations and transportation infrastructure. For instance, major cities like Rome, Milan, and Florence are well-connected by highways and high-speed train lines, making travel relatively convenient between them. These cities may be around 180-200 miles apart from each other.
However, smaller towns or remote regions might have greater distances between them due to geographic obstacles or limited transport options. In some cases, neighboring cities could be just a few miles apart while others might be separated by several hundred miles along winding roads or mountainous terrain.
I’m a passionate traveler, writer, and Italophile. My fascination with Italy’s history, art, and culture has led me on countless adventures across the Italian landscape.

This paper investigates the role of evaluation commissioning in hindering the take-up of complexity-appropriate evaluation methods, using findings from interviews with 19 UK evaluation commissioners and contractors. We find, against a backdrop of a need to ‘do more with less’ and frustration with some traditional approaches, the commissioning process is perceived to hinder adoption of complexity-appropriate methods because of its inherent lack of time and flexibility, and assessment processes which struggle to compare methods fairly. Participants suggested a range of ways forward, including more scoping and dialogue in commissioning processes, more accommodation of uncertainty, fostering of demand from policy users, more robust business cases, and more radical overhauls of the commissioning process. Findings also emphasised the need to understand how the commissioning process interacts with the wider policy making environment and evidence culture, and how this manifests itself in different attitudes to risk in commissioning from different actors.

Fie Laursen har aflyst sin abort!
11:21 - 11. okt 2016
Fie Lauersen har aflyst den medicinske abort hun skulle have haft mandag.
Bare en time før den medicinske abort skulle foretages valgte den populære blogger at aflyse.
Fie Laursen holder fast i sit valg om at få en abort, men hun har i stedet valgt at få foretaget en kirurgisk abort.
På sin blog fortæller hun, hvorfor hun traf valget.
"Jeg er blevet fuldstændig skræmt af medicinsk abort efter alle jeres indsendte historier, og derfor har jeg valgt en kirurgisk abort, som min læge faktisk foreslog. Jeg afventer lige nu et brev fra Hillerød Hospital om hvornår den skal foretages, men min læge sagde at det ville være inden for 2 uger", fortæller Fie Laursen på sin blog og uddyber:
"Det er for mig bare en tryggere følelse at vide jeg er på et hospital og at jeg ikke skal igennem en kæmpe blødning med smerter og måske se mit barn i den blødning, det var der nemlig en der skrev til mig hun havde og den tanke traumatiserer mig fuldstændig. Jeg er helt vildt nervøs, men glad for jeg ændrede abort valg", skriver hun.

Recalls are a well-established global practice; from time to time they are announced by almost all manufacturers of not only cars, but also any other industrial products. But since a car is considered a source of increased danger, it is recalls in the automotive industry that attract the most attention and cause the greatest resonance. Check if your car is covered by a recall campaign. Sometimes manufacturers will recall their cars because of substandard parts or workmanship and repair them for free, regardless of the warranty. This is called a recall campaign. More information on 2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT recalls can be found in this database. It may be useful to use online problems resource that shows automotive defect patterns, based on complaint data submitted by vehicle owners. The problems are organized into groups with data published by vehicle, component, and specific issue. See also an updated list of 2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT problems before buying a used car. In most cases, the recall is initiated by the manufacturer. But it also happens that it is forced to do so. The largest and most scandalous recall campaigns were those that were initiated by complaints and lawsuits from consumers through controlling state structures.

Review: Baritone Will Liverman Dreams of a New Day
Praised for his versatility, vocalist Will Liverman’s stacked accolades speak for themselves. Liverman’s most recent endeavors include the Met Opera’s The Magic Flute, the role of Silvio in Pagliacci at Opera Colorado, and Schaunard in La bohème – just to name a few household names. He is known for delivering earth-shattering performances all around the nation. It’s no surprise that his upcoming recital album Dreams of a New Day is equally as epochal.
Set to release February 12, Dreams of a New Day is dedicated entirely to Black composers. Amongst forerunners like Harry T. Burleigh and Margaret Bonds, Liverman chose contemporary composers such as Damien Sneed, a commissioned work by Shawn Okpebholo (from Lexington, Kentucky!), and closes with his own arrangement of Robert Fariña’s Birmingham Sunday. In Liverman’s own words, “[right] now, it is more important than ever to celebrate the contributions of Black composers, and I’m honored to give voice to the art songs on this album… Black composers wrote so much more than spirituals!” It’s clear that each piece was chosen with careful intentionality to showcase the versatility of Black composition.
Liverman’s bright, expressive baritone captures you from the first note of Damien Sneed’s I Dream a World. The arrangement features cascading chromatic piano lines leading you to hope and back again. Liverman’s delivery is heart-breakingly honest, and as he pierces you with his phrasing, he implores you to feel every word. By track number 3, Liverman had already moved me to tears with the unequivocal longing his voice evokes as he sings the poetry of Adela Florence Nicholson in The Five Songs of Laurence Hope. Like freshly revealed sunlight in an otherwise cloudy sky, his baritone wraps you in warmth as he sings Harrison Leslie Adams’s Amazing Grace. The song is commonly mistaken for a spiritual but was actually written by a slave ship captain. Adams’s composition gives the voice to the enslaved Africans of John Newton’s version. The lyrics plead for hope, faith, strength, love, life, and peace.
Although the entire album had been striking so far, it was Three Dream Portraits composed by Margaret Bonds that stopped the show. Bonds was one of the first Black composers to gain recognition in the United States, remembered for her frequent collaborations with poet Langston Hughes. Margaret Bonds (nèe Majors) was born March 3, 1913 in Chicago, Illinois to a church musician mother and civil rights activist and physician father. Bonds studied piano and composition with Florence Price, and began her undergraduate career at the young age of 16. She earned both her Bachelor of Music and Master of Music from Northwestern University, where she waded through tumultuous years of racism and hostility. These formative years led Bonds to address racial issues in her own compositions, and she did much to promote the music of her fellow Black musicians.
Beginning with Minstrel Man, Langston Hughes’ text addresses the duality Black people must face in performance and life; always hiding sorrow behind a character separate from your own humanity. Moving into Dream Variation, the text wraps you once again in the beauty of hope coupled with ascending and descending piano chords that uplift you while simultaneously keeping you hanging in somber territory. The described dream jolts you to reality, as you come to realize its simplicities. With dreams of dancing in the sun and resting in the evening, both Hughes and Bonds address the things that those with privilege take for granted; the things often robbed from Black Americans. Liverman delivers the final line of the piece in a soul-crushingly vulnerable falsetto, “night coming tenderly, Black like me.” In American society, we are very rarely ever referred to as “soft,” “tender,” or “gentle” due to societal norms coercing the majority into perceiving Black bodies as threatening. Liverman’s choice to include these works alludes to the fact that society has not changed since Hughes first wrote these words in 1926. To close, Bonds employs pointed, menacing piano lines to perfectly paint the text in I, Too. The composition compels you to feel the chaos of being a Black American, unloved by the country you carried on your back. Liverman impeccably interprets the works of both Bonds and Hughes, imploring you to understand Black America’s collective suffering.
Three Dream Portaits is followed by Thomas Kerr’s Riding to Town and Shawn Okpebholo’s Two Black Churches. Once again alluding to the parallels in our nation’s cyclical history, Two Black Churches serves as a musical altarpiece, honoring two different devastating moments in American history – the Birmingham church bombing of 1963, and the Charleston church shooting in 2015. Pulling elements from contemporary art song and Black gospel, Ballad of Birmingham is remarkable and longing for freedom. Moving through to movement two, the piano in The Rain makes you feel as if you are face to the sky, with freezing cold drops hitting you with every note. The text, specifically written for this composition by Marcus Amaker, lays heavy in your ears using lines such as “taste the salt of our surrounding gloom” and “face the rising tide of Black pain.” The piece washes over you, trapping you in its ocean of sorrow. Two Black Churches is expertly followed by Robert Owens’s Mortal Storm, Op. 29. Also using a selection of poems by Langston Hughes, each piece is rushing, frantic, and desperate, leaving you feeling as if you are out of breath from outrunning an invisible, oppressive force.
Will Liverman’s arrangement of Birmingham Sunday (Robert Fariña) feels like the final exhale from a breath held in our chests for generations. The musical background is brilliantly optimistic, juxtaposing lyrics that memorialize the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. In 1963, the catastrophic event took four lives – each named in the piece. “I can’t do much more than to sing you a song.” As Black people, we gnash and fight, but in the face of a system unmoved and history unchanged, we keep singing of freedom. Much like birds in the trees of a crumbling world, we sing. With the repeated closing line “the choir keeps singing of freedom,” Liverman poignantly concludes the album, reminding you that the fight is not over. We are far from equal.
There is much uncertainty surrounding how to properly represent the vast offerings of Black musicians while avoiding generalization and exploitation. Liverman accomplished his mission to showcase the versatility of Black composition, while breaking through the barriers of an otherwise oppressive artform. Dreams of a New Day faultlessly captures the Black American experience, past and present.

Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus (INSV) is a significant viral disease that affects a wide variety of ornamental and vegetable plants. It’s a member of the Tospovirus genus and is known for causing a range of symptoms, including necrotic spots, ringspots, wilting, and stunting. INSV can lead to significant losses in the ornamental plant industry and is a concern for both commercial growers and home gardeners.
Symptoms and Identification
INSV manifests in several distinct ways, depending on the host plant:
- Necrotic Spots: Dark, dead spots on leaves, often surrounded by a yellow halo.
- Ringspots: Circular or ring-like patterns on leaves.
- Wilting and Stunting: Infected plants may exhibit wilting, stunted growth, and poor flowering.
- Stem Lesions: Dark lesions may appear on stems.
- Mosaic Patterns: Some plants may show a mosaic pattern of light and dark green on the leaves.
INSV has a wide host range, affecting numerous plants, including but not limited to:
- Ornamentals: Such as impatiens, begonias, and petunias.
- Vegetables: Such as lettuce, tomatoes, and peppers.
- Weeds: Certain weeds can also host the virus, serving as reservoirs for infection.
INSV is primarily transmitted by thrips, particularly the western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis):
- Thrips Feeding: Thrips acquire the virus by feeding on infected plants and can transmit it to healthy plants during subsequent feedings.
- Mechanical Transmission: Though less common, the virus can also be spread through contaminated tools or handling.
Management and Control
Controlling INSV requires a multifaceted approach:
1. Cultural Practices
a. Thrips Management
Controlling thrips through proper sanitation, reflective mulches, and trap crops can reduce virus transmission.
b. Weed Control
Managing weeds that may serve as virus reservoirs can reduce the source of inoculum.
c. Isolation of Infected Plants
Prompt removal and destruction of infected plants can prevent the spread of the virus.
2. Chemical Control
Using insecticides to control thrips populations can be part of an integrated management strategy.
3. Biological Control
a. Beneficial Insects
Introducing natural enemies of thrips, such as predatory mites, can help in controlling thrips populations.
4. Resistant Varieties
a. Planting Resistant Cultivars
Some plant varieties may show resistance or tolerance to INSV, offering a long-term control strategy.
5. Monitoring and Early Detection
a. Regular Inspection and Testing
Regular inspection for symptoms and laboratory testing when needed can lead to early detection and management.
Challenges and Ongoing Research
INSV presents significant challenges due to its wide host range, the complexity of thrips management, and the lack of highly effective control measures. Ongoing research is focused on:
- Understanding the Virus-Thrips Interactions: Detailed studies of how INSV interacts with thrips and host plants at the molecular level can lead to new control strategies.
- Breeding for Resistance: Developing new resistant or tolerant varieties through traditional breeding or genetic engineering.
- Improving Diagnostic Tools: Creating rapid and accurate diagnostic tools for early detection.
Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus is a complex and challenging disease that continues to engage the attention of growers, scientists, and garden enthusiasts. Its study offers valuable insights into plant-virus-insect interactions, with broader implications for sustainable agriculture and plant health. Whether you’re a commercial grower, a home gardener, or simply interested in the fascinating world of plant diseases, the exploration of INSV provides a window into the intricate world of viral diseases, reflecting the ongoing dance between nature’s creativity and human ingenuity in the quest to grow healthy and beautiful plants. The story of INSV serves as a vivid example of the interconnectedness of the plant world, where a tiny insect can play a pivotal role in the spread of a disease that affects a wide array of plants across different landscapes.

How can one reach young people who'd rather not be reached? At least: not by organisations with (somewhat of) a government association. Young people who have role models (often peers), but have no desire to follow in their footsteps when the message that's directed at them smells of government propaganda. The BRIDGE campaign's communication approach has shown that live contact can provide surprisingly positive results.
The first phase of the communication campaign for the AanDeBak guarantee has been running since February this year. The job guarantee for young people from South Rotterdam was brought to the target group's attention by means of posters in school buildings and geo-targeting on Instagram and Facebook.
The message is simple: choose a programme in technology, healthcare, food or construction and you'll receive a job guarantee when the programme starts. The message is ‘packaged’ in a way that appeals to young people, namely: in a playful way, focusing on the (relatively) high starting salaries, along with other perks of the job.
In the meantime, young people from South Rotterdam have seen the AanDeBak guarantee on their Facebook or Instagram feed an average of six times. Experience shows that now would be a good time to stop transmitting the message. Young people are no longer receptive at this stage and may even become irritated.
Therefore, the National Urgency Programme South Rotterdam (NPRZ) was looking for an additional method, in conjunction with the Friends for Brands communications agency, to reach more young people without possibly irritating them. They found it by means of direct contact with the target group. Young people visited the schools, wearing sandwich boards, to explain the AanDeBak guarantee in more detail in the classrooms.
They did so in a way developed especially for the (difficult) young target group. With the playful AanDeBak quiz, they were encouraged to think about their future. MTV presenter/stand-up comedian Edson Da Grace playfully guides them through several questions and the end result is a rough recommendation.
This method proved a resounding success. The number of visits to the AanDeBak website has skyrocketed. Also, many of the young people are now willing to leave their contact details so they can receive BRIDGE updates about events and information fairs. The reason for this is simple: the method and the information are properly tailored to the young people's environment. More importantly, the necessary attention is paid and these young people feel noticed and valued. This is very significant for many of these young people who live in an area with several negative social and economic factors.

The absence of a save/load system at launch understandably generated a lot of forum chatter. Having defined the save/load framework as part of the development of the Location Editor, in the last two weeks we've extended it to include all of the objects in the tutorial. We're about 70% done, with the final 30% involving test cases to check game state is correctly restored. So hopefully not too much longer until players can save games in the tutorial.
With each new patch there is however a chance we may need to purge previous save games. Obviously we'll avoid doing so unless absolutely necessary, but when we do launch the feature, please bear in mind that it comes with a caveat due to the nature of being alpha that the shelf-life of a saved game might only be a few weeks.
Location Editor / Tower Defense Mini-Game
In the previous dev blog we mentioned Aron was integrating the new tile-based navmesh pathfinding system into the Location Editor. In today's blog we're able to take a closer look behind the scenes at what's going on. In the image below, the top and middle windows show the same scene with and without the purple navmesh geometry and the cyan shape-cutters for trees, while the bottom window shows a top down isometric view better highlighting the individual square tiles.
The shape-cutters are required for props that populate a scene, for example trees and chests. We don't know where players will want props in their location designs, so at run-time we perform a boolean operation using the tile's source navmesh and the shape-cutters to produce a new re-triangulated navmesh. If during gameplay the player constructs a building spanning several tiles, the building's own navmesh overrides that of the tiles ( which is temporarily disabled in the event of the building being destroyed ) and connects itself automatically to neighbors. Of course all of this is hidden from players who's focus can remain firmly on creating a great location design.
|Tile-Based Navmesh Pathfinding
With responsive UI being critical to user-adoption and productivity, we've been cleaning up the next iteration of UI windows. First impressions count, so it's important resizing, locking, scrolling, snapping and depth swapping are all glitch free to avoid putting players off.
Aron has also been performing a peer review of the entire programming code base. Having been the sole programmer for two years, it's invaluable to get a fresh pair of eyes onto my own code and to implement some of his ideas for improvement.
Art Assets: Hunter's Lodge
Following on from the concept art presented in Dev Blog 10, the three tiers of the Hunter's Lodge are now complete.
Animation: Quadruped Skeleton / Horse Riding
Both the stables and the cavalry military unit require horses be added. Using a rough working model that the art team will later shape to match the final horse concept art, Tom has been working on the quadruped skeleton required to animate the horse. It's early stage but once it's finished we look forward to sharing some video footage of the horses idle, trotting and galloping animation loops.
|Quadruped Skeleton for Horses
The same skeleton also drives the deer, which the Hunters shoot with crossbows and carry over their shoulders back to the Hunting Lodge for skinning and filleting.
Pre-production visualizations completed this period include the Stables, Fisherman and Stablehand. A number of the designs are too modern and need a heavier bias towards medieval styling, so they'll undergo a final iteration before 3D modelling begins. Hopefully it will be interesting to show in future blogs how characters evolve from the pre-production sketches we've shared thus far to a final painted 3D character in the game.
I did discuss with our Art Director whether we should produce fully painted concept art pieces from these base visualizations, but I'd rather him spent that time painting the final character texture. It's a much better use of time and money.

UPF - UK Interreligious Association for Peace and Development.
World Interfaith Harmony Week Event
Tuesday, February 7th 2023
A Report by David and Patricia Earle
Interfaith Harmony Week began officially in 2010, in part to recognise and showcase all the good work going on in society between our different faith traditions, and also to create a greater synergy between us, increasing our capacity to build a more peaceful, harmonious world together.
With this in mind, we designed an online event 'Speaking Truth to Power', where several speakers could share examples in which people of faith are engaging constructively with decision makers, and those with responsibility, and also discuss methodology and ways in which more might be done.
Our speakers were : Sheikh Nuru Mohammed, Minister of Religion and Co-Chair of Citizens UK in Birmingham; Dr Harriet Crabtree OBE, Executive Director of the Interfaith Network UK since 2007; Mr Paul Gutteridge, Initiatives of Change, and Honorary Fellow at the Edward Cadbury Centre, University of Birmingham; Dr Lakshmi Vyas, President of the Hindu Forum of Europe; and Dr Michael Balcomb, FFWPU Regional President of Europe and the Middle East.
Almost 200 people joined the zoom meeting, from the UK and a number of European countries, and we began our meeting with 1 minute of silent prayer, meditation and reflection, sending our collective heart of empathy and compassion to all those affected by the immense tragedy, resulting from the earthquake in southern Turkey and northern Syria.
Our first speaker, Sheikh Nuru, (video link) emphasised that Citizens UK of which he is a National trustee, a broad alliance of people from different backgrounds, including all faiths, stands for social justice and change. It focuses on 'relational power' rather than dominant power, building relationships with those in positions of responsibility to bring about positive change which then impacts on, and brings more happiness to, all people.
Dr Crabtree, after detailing the origin of the phrase 'Speaking Truth to Power', made a number of informal comments including the fact that it is not always clear who we should be speaking to. She cautioned against the over simplification that those in power are not truthful, and those who are speaking may be somewhat self-righteous. "We are all fallible in our different ways!" She spoke of the importance of social media, and the fact that our voices may well get lost in 'the babble', stressing the need to choose careful paths if our voice is to be heard effectively.
Paul Gutteridge, (video link) emphasising that there is far more that unites us than divides us, spoke of his pioneering work in bringing together those who exist physically and/or ideologically at the margins of British society, and having very different religious and ideological perspectives. This includes those who are at risk of radicalisation. People of faith have a unique, though not exclusive, position to be a 'midwife', to provide a safe space and environment where radically honest conversations can take place. He stressed the importance of 'proximity' which enables relationships to be made, a common theme amongst the evenings' speakers.
Dr Lakshmi (video link)explained to us about 'Satya' (truth) as the mainstay of basic moral law in Hinduism, and that this is ideally inbuilt in us from childhood, to become a truthful and honest person of integrity. By making Satya our life's principle, we are taking the essential steps towards living a happy and fulfilled life. This principle should function to maintain the proper working order of a society, its members and those who govern. Dr Lakshmi also described her congenial relationship of some years with Hon Roberta Metsola, who has now become President of the European Parliament, and her two audiences with His Holiness Pope Francis in 2021 and 2023.
Finally, we heard from Dr Michael Balcomb, (video link) President of FFWPU for Europe and the Middle East, and someone who has met a considerable number of political and religious leaders through his work with UPF. He cited several historical figures, such as Nathan, Moses and Abraham, who spoke truth to power in different circumstances, but also reminded us that we should do the same in following the dictates of our conscience, and not be indifferent or think that we do not have the power to make a real difference in society. He quoted the example of UPF's founders, Father and Mother Moon, who have taken considerable risks in speaking to leaders such as Mikhail Gorbachev and Kim Il Sung, and Mother Moon's consistent message to world leaders that 'there are no permanent solutions to our current problems without God'.
We then heard from two respondents, City Councillor Shehla Moledina, and Mahmooda Qureshi from the West Midlands Faith and Belief Forum. Mahmooda posed the questions 'Why are we not being listened to, and Why are we not speaking out more together?' and the panellists spent some time discussing these. A very good meeting was then concluded with the music video 'Where Peace Begins' and, as Dr Balcomb had previously reminded us all: Peace Begins With Me.

"Salut. Sub rezerva anonimatului îți pot spune că și la clasa a V-a D la Școala 79 în în Săptămâna Școala Altfel, fiul meu și colegii lui au trecut prin această experiență traumatizantă.
Ea (cea din imagine – nota mea) este cea care aduce aceasta mizerie. E profesoară de biologie, membru ASUR."
Inclusiv în clasa fiicei mele de 11 ani au dorit să facă ore de "igienă" exclusiv fetelor, în care li se preda "terminologia corectă a aparatului reproducător".
Evident că nevastă-mea a refuzat, cu riscul de a fi denumită de progresiști "o înapoiată", o relicvă din "Evul Mediu", pe tiparul folosit de bolșevici în prigonirea creștinilor.
Vă conjur pe fiecare părinte să nu vă lăsați inocența copiilor distrusă de acești demoni cu chip uman!
Toate ONG-urile din zona globalistă (Soros) sunt sponsorizate cu bani grei pentru ca distrugerea fizică și psihică a copiilor să devină completă de la vârste mici. De ce? Un matur "programat", cu rațiunea și simțul critic extirpate, fără Dumnezeu, poate fi supus controlului "elitelor" mesianice mult mai ușor.
Pe lângă sexualizarea precoce și predispunerea de mici la pornografie (care dă adicție precum cocaina), împing în școli agenda ideologică homosexualistă a sexomarxiștilor (LGBT) și demența gender (schimbarea de sex).
Momentan se cere părinților permisiunea ca aceste orori să fie prezentate în școli, sub aparențele cele mai benigne. Mâine, dacă nu ne menținem tari pe poziții, celor care nu acceptă agenda școlară LGBT li se pot lua copiii, cum se întâmplă în țări din Vest unde românii tac și înghit toate aceste lături ideologice care le pervertesc, de mici, odraslele.
Revenind: NU PERMITEȚI "EDUCAȚIA "SEXUALĂ" făcută de tot soiul de ONG-uri care fac lobby la Ministerul Educației, acolo unde Johannis și-a plantat o prostovană de calibrul lui ca să realizeze programul România (ne)Educată.
Indiferent cât de roz e prezentată această oră, NU VĂ DAȚI ACORDUL, sub nicio formă!

Once On This Island
Enlighted created some lighting assemblies for the 2017 Broadway revival of Once On This Island at the Circle in the Square theater in New York. This one-act musical fable, set on a Caribbean island, was first performed in 1990.
RGB LEDs were used to illuminate a "trash tiara" headpiece and a flexible fabric panel that was mounted on the front of a dress, over the heart. This costume is worn by Lea Salonga in the role of Erzulie, the goddess of love.
The color and brightness of each pixel can be controlled in real time from the main lighting console, and these signals are transmitted to the costume via wireless DMX.
The video clip below demonstrates some of the effects that could be achieved with the headpiece and chest piece, as recorded in the Enlighted studio. After the parts were shipped to New York, other details were added to the crown and the chest panel was installed in the dress.

Sports Illustrated recently released their 2019 NBA Draft Big Board: Top 60 Prospects and Vols Admiral Schofield is on the list.
Yes, we are in the middle of summer. And, yes we are a long way off from the 2019 NBA Draft. However, Tennessee basketball player Admiral Schofield makes Sports Illustrated’s top 60 big board.
Schofield comes in as the 49th player on the list after having a fantastic junior season. A season that displayed a 13.9 scoring average. And, an all-around better game.
Schofield was the only Vol to make the list. However, this shouldn’t surprise anyone. Schofield is a good player and should make an NBA roster.
Here’s what Jeremy Woo from SI had to say about Schofield.
"“There aren’t many wings built as functionally strong as Schofield, whose husky football-player frame (his older brother played linebacker in the NFL) gives him a chance to defend bigger opponents and provide a unique level of versatility. He has a solid feel for the game, shot 39% from three last season, can finish in the paint and take smaller opponents in the post, and also impacts the game on the glass. As far as returning seniors go, Schofield is one to track as the leader of a Tennessee team that returns all its key pieces.”"
Woo is right, Schofield’s body is extremely functional. His first two seasons in Knoxville, he had to play more of a post position.
Woo also mentions the fact that Schofield shot 39 percent from the three-point line. That high percentage comes from only one season of really practicing his outside jumper. So, how good can Schofield shoot next season? Honestly, probably pretty good.
Schofield is back with the Vols after entering his name into the NBA Draft without an agent. Despite not being invited to the NBA combine, Schofield worked out for multiple teams. The Oklahoma City Thunder, Brooklyn Nets, Denver Nuggets, and the Milwaukee Bucks all gave him a shot.
Working out with NBA teams is an invaluable experience for any player but will do wonders for Schofield and the Vols. All the key pieces are back for a Tennessee team that was Regular Season Co-Champions of the SEC.
Moving forward, we think it is safe to say that Schofield will be in the NBA one day. And, as he currently ranks 49th it’s safe to say we will hear his name called in the 2019 NBA Draft.
Schofield has improved his game each year with the Vols, and if that trend continues, he might find himself as a first-round draft pick. We will keep an eye on big boards and mock draft as Schofield’s season year unfolds.

Let’s say you bought one share of Airtel at the beginning of the year for ₹1,000. On the same day, your friend bought one share of Bajaj for ₹1,000. A third friend bought one share of Colgate for ₹1,000.
Now let’s say that at the end of the year, Airtel had grown 15% and your one share was valued at ₹1,150.
Bajaj grew 20%.
Colgate grew 17%.
Great news for friend #2 but not so great for you and friend #3. Even though you all invested the same amount, friend #2’s returns of 20% beat both yours and friend #3’s.
Now, what if all three of you had pooled your money and were entitled to 1/3rd of Airtel each, 1/3rd of Bajaj each, and 1/3rd of Colgate each from the combined ₹3,000? All three of you would have enjoyed a growth of 17.33%!
That is the basic principle behind mutual funds. Because your investment was spread over 3 companies instead of just one, you were able to reduce your risk. Friend #2 may have enjoyed higher returns when the money was not pooled but the scenario may be reversed in year two when his high returns could not be duplicated and your investment beat his.
Mutual Fund is a collective investment tool that pools together money from many investors like you. These collected funds are then invested by a fund manager (aka an investment expert) in various stocks, bonds or other investment vehicles, after conducting thorough research.
The cost of his services is very little as compared to hiring your own personal investment manager. This is because a mutual fund manager manages a large pool of funds, and therefore his fees are shared over a large number of investors. The fund manager and his team constantly monitor the market and invest accordingly to maximize the investors’ capital.
Apart from having a dedicated research team, Mutual Funds have SEBI and other agencies monitoring and regulating them, to ensure the safety of investors’ money.
Mutual Funds allow you to invest a small amount of money, however much you would like (starting from ₹1000), but still, you can benefit from being involved in a large pool of cash invested by other people. All investors share in the fund’s gains or losses on an equal basis, proportionate to the amount they have invested.
How does a mutual fund work?
When you invest in a Mutual Fund you are allocated X number units. N.A.V (Net Asset Value) represents the value of one unit of your investment after all the fund expenses and management fees are paid. This N.A.V is updated at the end of the day daily.
And you can find out if your investment is doing well or not easily. Whenever you need to check the market value of your investment you simply need to multiply the current N.A.V with the number of units you hold.
Moreover, these units are easily redeemable. It’s like keeping money in a bank account, only it earns better returns in a Mutual Fund.
Every fund has a fixed benchmark to measure the performance. To judge the performance you just need to check how your selected fund has performed against the benchmark set for its measure.
The fund manager’s task is to analyze the market and beat the set benchmark of the fund. This is exactly what you are paying them for.
Of course, there are technicalities involved, but this is the crux of investing in Mutual Fund schemes. Mutual Funds come in many forms, some are sector-based so an Automobile-sector based mutual fund will invest in car-makers like Maruti, Tata Motors etc. Some are Capital based so a large-cap fund will invest only in big companies whereas a small-cap fund will invest in small companies.
There are many benefits to Mutual Funds but it is crucial to examine your own need, goals and risk comfort to determine which Mutual Fund scheme is right for you and to diversify your investment over several different types of funds to ensure all your eggs do not end up in one basket.

Unit 1: Business English
Completing this unit should take you approximately 6 hours.
1.1: What is Business English?
When we talk about genre, we're really talking about the audience, organization, and writing style. When you send an email to a friend, you may be casual and funny; when you write a paper for a class, you may include research; and when you write a memo for a business partner, you'll use a formal tone and specific words. The section will introduce you to the basics of business writing.
1.2: Direct vs. Indirect CommunicationWords are tools for communication, and when we use them, we want to be clearly understood. Unfortunately, words can be confusing if not used correctly. In business writing, it is extremely important to be understood. If you don't use direct, clear language in business, you could risk losing money and workers or even get the business into legal trouble. We call the misuse of words that can lead to miscommunication "barriers" because they block our ability to be understood. This section will help you understand direct language and the different kinds of barriers that can create indirect wording and miscommunication in business writing.
