St. Petersburg is becoming more and more popular with both foreign and Russian tourists from year to year. New achievements in the field of hospitality in recent years were told at the round table "Results of tourist tourism-2019". The event is held annually by the "City tourist information Bureau" Of the Committee for tourism development of St. Petersburg and gathers leading representatives of the tour industry of the Northern capital.
E-visas and EURO 2020 will attract new tourists
"St. Petersburg is actively developing the tourism sector as one of the main points of growth of economic development. Now the city on Neva is the leader of tourist branch in the Russian Federation. By the end of 2019, we expect about 9 million tourists, " Anna Zolotova, acting head of the Department of regional and international projects Of the Committee for tourism development of St. Petersburg, opened the round table.
Separately, the representative of the KRT noted the introduction of electronic visas in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, which can be issued by citizens of 53 countries.
The project is expected to gradually increase the foreign tourist flow. The introduction of electronic visas for foreign citizens can attract at least 2 million tourists to the city. 2020 will be indicative in this regard.
In addition, thanks to the introduction of electronic visas, it is expected to gradually increase the average duration of a visit to the city on the Neva river by tourists to 6-7 days. Now this figure is 3-5 days.
Speaking about plans for next year, Anna Zolotova reminded that in 2020 in St. Petersburg it is planned to hold large-scale international events, including the European football championship, SPIEF, BRICs and SCO summits.
Info-offices Visit-Petersburg becomes more
Nadezhda Petrova, acting Director General of the institution, told about the results of the activities of the SBU "City tourist information Bureau" subordinated to the Committee on tourism development of St. Petersburg for 2019:
"In our city there are information pavilions and offices, which for 11 months of 2019 appealed to about 180 thousand tourists, of which 95 thousand — Russian-speaking, and more than 86 thousand-foreigners."
According to these data, the number of Russian-speaking tourists who applied to information offices increased by 2% compared to 2018.
Nadezhda Petrova paid special attention to the promotion of St. Petersburg in the international and regional tourist markets. This year SPb GBU "GTIB" took part in 22 tourist exhibitions, of which 11 international and 11 regional.
In 2019, 104 events were held at the conference site of St. Petersburg state University "GTIB" at Sadovaya street, 37. These are all kinds of press conferences, events of regional and foreign organizations in the field of tourism, educational programs and projects aimed at promoting the city as a world tourist destination.
One of the main activities of GTIB is the opening of representative offices under the brand Visit Petersburg abroad, as well as maintaining their activities at a constantly high level. Currently, representative offices of the Northern capital of Russia operate in Paris, Hong Kong, Taipei, Tehran, new Delhi, Mumbai, Leipzig, Dubai, Rimini and Tokyo. They have established themselves as an effective tool to promote the Northern capital in the travel industry market. It should be noted that on November 29, an agreement was signed with the national marketing center for tourism Visit Russia in Madrid to open a new office of Visit Petersburg, which will be located in Barcelona.
Currently, St. Petersburg state University" GTIB " implements projects aimed at the development of off-season tourism, among which are the loyalty program "Winter days", event and business events, the project "St. Petersburg wedding" and the development of thematic areas of the tourism industry.
St. Petersburg and Finland strengthen tourist ties
One of the ongoing projects — "Tourist corridor St. Petersburg-Saimaa" in the framework of the cross — Border Cooperation Program "European neighborhood instrument (PPP EIS) "South-Eastern Finland — Russia" 2014 — 2020 told the Deputy Director General for project development St. PETERSBURG GBU "GTIB" Anna Nevinskaya.
Within the framework of the project, a single concept was built to promote the project, which is to position St. Petersburg and the Saimaa lake region as a single travel destination. "Two destinations — one trip-two different experiences. We decided to promote the project from this point of view."
Anna Nevinskaya also stressed that the result of the launch of the Corridor will be to attract tourists to St. Petersburg and Finland during the low season. Special emphasis will be placed on this. "St. Petersburg and Finland can be interesting not only during the traditional high tourist season, but also during the so-called "white days". The result will be the creation of tour packages, which will be implemented by partners of tourist companies, both direct participants of the project - in St. Petersburg, Leningrad region and Finland, and partners abroad.
According to Nevinskaya, there are still many interesting ideas in the plans, including the development of at least 60 new tourist routes.
The city is preparing for Euro 2020
As St. Petersburg is preparing for EURO 2020 and what awaits the tourist community of the city in connection with the upcoming European football championship told the head of the sector for the preparation of significant sporting events of the Committee for physical culture and sports of St. Petersburg Eugene Gagonin. Topics such as the timing of the championship and its combination with citywide celebrations, the preparation of fan zones, traffic restrictions, as well as the safety of citizens and tourists were raised.
Also at the round table spoke about the school-tour "Lessons gives Petersburg", which was presented Board member of the League of tour operators, head of the working group of the project and the Director of tour operator "Bureau "Petrograd" Pavel Lobanov. He told the audience about the opportunities for the development of off-season tourism in St. Petersburg on the example of a wide cooperation of the tourist business.
In addition, the round table discussed the development of St. Petersburg in the field of agricultural tourism together with the Leningrad, Novgorod regions and the Republic of Karelia, exchanged practices of its implementation and prospects for the development of interregional projects in this area.

Star Wars: Taika Waititi Film Could Hit Theaters Before Rogue Squadron
As it currently stands, Patty Jenkins' Star Wars: Rogue Squadron is slated to hit theaters on December 22, 2023, though a recent report in Vanity Fair notes that the untitled Star Wars film from Taika Waititi and Krysty Wilson-Cairns is expected to be the next film in the franchise to land in theaters. Given that this film also has no reported production-start date, and with Waititi currently wrapped up in promotion for Thor: Love and Thunder, this will likely spark speculation among fans about Rogue Squadron being delayed from its current release date for the Waititi and Cairns project, though with Star Wars Celebration right around the corner, it's possible that event will confirm a number of details about the franchise's future.
The outlet's report claims, "A movie from Jojo Rabbit's Taika Waititi and 1917 screenwriter Krysty Wilson-Cairns will likely arrive first, with Rogue Squadron from Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins further off."
Rogue Squadron was announced back in 2020 and touted a 2022 release date, only for the impact of the coronavirus pandemic to see Disney overhaul their theatrical slate in the subsequent months. With each passing month in 2021, no announcements about the project moving forward was revealed, while last November saw reports circulate that the project was unlikely to head into production in 2022.
Waititi has only offered a handful of vague updates about his Star Wars film, none of which offer much insight into what the narrative of the story could be. Last summer, he did confirm that he hoped it would be his follow-up to the new Thor movie.
"I don't know if that's going to be Star Wars," Waititi replied to The Sydney Morning Herald when asked what's next after Thor: Love and Thunder. "I hope it'll be that but there's a whole lot of other little things that I've got my sticky little fingers attached to so we'll see."
Shortly after these remarks, Waititi confirmed that he and Cairns at least had a story in mind for their adventure, though it was still early stages of the actual writing process.
"It's still in the 'EXT. SPACE' stage," Waititi joked with Wired UK about the status of the script. "But we've got a story. I'm really excited by it because it feels very me."
He continued, "I tend to go down that little sincerity alleyway in my films. I like to fool the viewer into thinking 'ha it's this' and then them going, 'Damn it, you made me feel something!'"
Stay tuned for details on the future of the Star Wars franchise.

A vintage Christmas vinyl record meant for children's parties has been rediscovered during the clearing out of a Debenhams.
Fantasia - A Christmas Story was written specifically for the Edwin Jones store, as it was then known, in Southampton in 1962.
It later became a Debenhams and closed down last year.
Mark Holman, from restoration firm Fork Handle Revival, called the record a "reminder of Christmases gone by".
The record, which features a woman talking about the spirit of Christmas, is credited to Recorded Sound Limited, a recording studio set up in Marble Arch, London, in the 1950s.
It was found by a security guard in one of the derelict building's many offices, which Mr Holman described as looking like a "bomb site, very reminiscent of one of those mutant zombie films".
Mr Holman said: "We think Edwin Jones commissioned it, and we think it would have been used at Christmas parties for children that Edwin Jones and Debenhams were renowned for.
"Many of us grew up seeing that the best Father Christmas was always the Debenhams Father Christmas."
He added: "The more we looked into it, the more unique we found it to be."
He called the piece "very spiritual", "very different", and a "very pure Christmas story".

Did you know that all fifty states cover at least a portion of home care? It makes sense although many people may not realize that this is an option. It is historically cheaper than a nursing home and as we showed you in an earlier post, family members can be reimbursed as caregivers. Since Medicaid is a state-run program that is partially funded by the federal government, so what benefits in this category are available varies from state to state.
Will Medicaid Pay for Home Care?

A place to come to after the morning school run (if you're like me with more than one child) or a place to just get out of the house for one hour without figuring out where to go.
Wednesday mornings are our quietest period at the Cafe, so it's the only day and time we can organise Mummy meet ups, for now.
There are only 7 spaces each Wednesday as we'll need to keep half the cafe open for walk in customers. So very limited availability each Wednesday. I personally think smaller groups are better, more intimate and less intimidating!
Come alone or come with your lil one! We have limited highchairs, so a highchair isn't guaranteed.
So it's £7.00 per ticket. This gets you:
- One Hot drink of your choice
- Either a cake from our counter or a toastie
Hopefully see you next Wednesday 9.30am.
We also advise not bringing buggies and if possible, carrying the baby in with the car seat, as the cafe is very small, 7 buggies would take up the whole cafe haha.
Please note this meet up strictly lasts one hour as we'll need the tables back for walk in customers <3

The Pinball Hall of Fame is a non-profit organization founded in part thanks to donations, which are still accepted. Tim Arnold is a veteran arcade operator who owned Pinball Pete's in East Lansing, Michigan. But why is Tim Arnold Mad at Elton John?
After filming a video there in 2004, Elton John snubbed the Pinball Hall of Fame. Tim Arnold, who was promised $500 and concert tickets but never received them, has issued an open challenge to wrestle Sir Elton John.
The Pinball Hall of Fame Owner's Dispute with Sir Elton John
In 2004, Elton John and renowned filmmaker and photographer David LaChapelle worked on the exhibit when they came across the Pinball Hall of Fame. After learning that the museum on East Tropicana Avenue and Pecos Road was home to a vintage 1976 Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy pinball machine, a film crew visited Tim Arnold.
On the same machine, John's seen playing pinball. The six-person crew used a 35-mm film camera to gather footage of the business. As a result, John performed Pinball Wizard at The Colosseum, and the footage was wildly entertaining.
On the other hand, Arnold is still reading TILT after being promised $500 and tickets to one of John's shows at Caesars Palace, as he has long claimed that this was meant to be the fee for using the museum.
In May, John's second run, The Million Dollar Piano, ended. Arnold was never present while he performed and he was also not paid the $500 he was promised.
I offered to settle this like a man, in the squared circle, a cage match, one round, winner takes all, But did I ever get paid? Did I ever see Sir Elton in a show? Hell, no.
Tim Arnold
Arnold had also specified the location of his fight with Elton: the air-conditioned confines of Cobo Arena in Detroit, which was known for hosting professional wrestling events.
I can still out-fix ya, and I can still out-fight ya. You don't want any part of this.
Tim Arnold
Although he didn't specify what this is. (Source: Review-Journal)
Did They Ever Settle the Issue?
Arnold had plans to relocate the Hall of Fame to a 176-acre site on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard, close to the 65,000-square-foot Harley-Davidson showroom and across from the Bali Hai Golf Club and the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign.
He purchased the site at auction for $4.6 million and wanted to relocate his attraction within the next 18 to 24 months. He had 1,000 machines that he owns and maintains, with 800 in storage because his current 8,000-square-foot facility can't accommodate all of them.
In addition, he now has a crew that can tinker with the equipment and run the business — however, as he puts it,
Ninety percent of the time, when a person who begins a museum departs or dies, the museum dies, too. I own the market for people who drive to Las Vegas in passenger cars looking for stuff to do. They will be glad to find us near the Welcome to Las Vegas sign, and next to a giant Harley Davidson shop.
Tim Arnold
He's less enthusiastic when talks about the disputed $500 come up.
My offer to settle this stands: Step into the squared circle.

When looking at Codeberg as a European alternative to github I came across mentions of Pelican, a static blog generator. Yesterday I spent several hours setting it up and playing. Whilst playing with it I saw some opportunities.
By default Pelican is designed to have one category per blog post. For small websites this is fine. It encourages people to focus on three to five topics, and ensure that each topic is clearly visible in the nav bar at the top of the page.
When I imported two different wordpress blogs I had success is importing the blog posts, but a failure when it came to the nav bar.
How Does Pelican Work
Pelican can use html, reStructuredText or markdown. It wants to know the date, tags, category, slug, authors, summary and more for each page. Once a page has this information, as well as some content you type "pelican content" and it will generate the static website for you. You can then test the site with pelican listen and check that the website is displaying and working as desired.
If I wrote a blog post about hiking in Vaud, Switzerland I would have that blog in "hiking", "Switzerland" and "Vaud". Pelican combined the three categories and created a nav page. The result is that I had a bloated nav bar.
When I enquired about parsing the categories I was told that Pelican wanted to have one category per page, intentionally. They also told me that a plugin allows you to create more categories. This plugin is quick and easy to install and implement.
More Categories
With More Categories you can add several categories per blog post, but you can also add a hierarchy. If you write a post about hiking in Vaud, Switzerland, you can have hiking, vaud, switzerland, as a flat hierarchy. You can also have "sports/hiking" and "Switzerland/Vaud" as subcategories. This opens up the possibility of creating a nuanced static website.
Importing a Website
You can import content from another source by using pelican import. You can choose from Blogger, WordPress etc. I experimented with importing from WordPress and it worked well, except for the issues I mentioned earlier.
Streamlining an HTML Site
My website is split into three parts
• the main blog
After the two tests I ran yesterday I came to the conclusion that, for now, I will keep using wordpress for the blogs. The reason I think Pelican is interesting for me is that it can read html and the legacy part of my website is html. The challenge with legacy code is keeping the navigation and other parts up to date each time you make small changes. With Pelican I hope to delegate navigation creation. By ensuring that each page has the correct meta data in the header I can then get Pelican to regenerate the website with a navigation that is easier to keep up to date.
Measuring Success
If I am successful then I will have the website imported into Pelican and I will have a geography, environmental systems, Ancient Rome, and other sections and one or two sections will have themes that are specific to them.

Back The COVID-19 response: Our Hidden Heroes
The COVID-19 response: Our Hidden Heroes
A complex roll-out
The roll-out has begun and millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccines are being distributed across the world. One of the most complex and important initiatives of our time has been set in motion. And although we have all prepared for many months, there are still operational challenges to deal with daily - challenges that need to be efficiently solved to ensure the vaccine's safe delivery to people worldwide.
Kuehne+Nagel started a specialist pharma and healthcare logistics operation more than ten years ago, and we have been growing our capabilities in the field ever since. Today, our pharma and healthcare services include dedicated warehousing, distribution hubs, a pharma vehicle fleet, close integration with partner logistics channels, specialised technical solutions, exclusive access to airside facilities, and much more. And we are continuously working on strengthening our network and its capabilities.
An agile mindset for creative solutions
Although our network and its capabilities are crucial pieces of our puzzle, the most essential part remains our exceptional team. It is the combined expertise and dedication of our colleagues across the world that make our network strong. The strength and agility of our teams have become apparent during the planning and implementation of the global COVID-19 response.
Several projects demonstrate the creativity and dedication of our teams. If there is not enough cold storage capacity in a particular region, our team develops a solution that will get critical vaccines to people who need it, regardless of where they live. This is our "Temperature Pod" solution. When we want to further safeguard the numerous, complex shipments of COVID-19 vaccines, the team sets up a dedicated group that explicitly monitors and cares for these shipments 24/7. That is our Hyper Care team.
The work of hidden heroes
A key learning in the last decade of developing and strengthening our pharma and healthcare solution is that we must work as one team. We must all be part of one holistic solution and operate as one entity. Today, we support each other in bridging critical transfers, we liaise over optimal lanes, we plan 15-minute vaccine transfers that require perfect implementation, we connect the dots. Together.
Within Kuehne+Nagel, we have many hidden heroes who have put their lives on hold to deliver on this crucial undertaking. To deliver on our pledge to do our part. We could not be prouder of the work that our Hidden Heroes are doing. All day. Every day.
In the coming weeks, we will share stories from our Hidden Heroes and how they contribute to getting the COVID-19 vaccine to patients around the world.

This map is part of a series of 5 animated maps showing the history of Prehistory.
Evidence shows that Homo sapiens was present in Eastern Siberia at least 35,000 years ago. At that time, due to low sea levels, a wide strip of land called Beringia connected Eurasia to the American continent.
Groups of hunter-gatherers crossed Beringia following herds of large herbivores such as caribou or mammoths. Signs of their presence dating back 25,000 years have been found in caves near the Bluefish River in the far northwest of present-day Canada.
With the onset of a period of global warming, the huge North American ice sheet began to retreat. Homo sapiens advanced south, probably in several waves, either through a central ice-free corridor or along the Pacific coast, as suggested by the 13,000-year-old human footprints found on Calvert Island in British Columbia.
The Clovis site discovered in New Mexico in the 1920s was long considered evidence of the earliest colonisation of America by Homo sapiens. This site gave its name to the Clovis culture, which is characterised by the production of fluted stone points shaped using percussion on both faces. Other, more recent discoveries of archaeological sites in North America have now cast doubt on the anteriority of this colonisation.
Homo sapiens continued to migrate through Central and South America to reach Tierra del Fuego at the southern end of the continent. Numerous archaeological sites attest to this advance, such as Taima-Taima in Venezuela, Huaca Prieta in Peru and Monte Verde in Chile.
The dating of some prehistoric sites in the Americas is the subject of controversy among archaeologists, specifically with regard to the dating techniques used and the nature of the remains. This is the case of the Pedra Furada site in present-day Brazil, which, according to some experts, dates back 30,000 or 40,000 years. This age would imply that the land route through Beringia was not the only route to the Americas and that H. sapiens may have originally migrated by sea along the Pacific coast.
Sea levels have since risen by about 100 metres and submerged any sites along this route where H. sapiens may have been present, thus destroying any physical evidence of interest to archaeologists.

We're more than a week into fire season in Alberta, which means permits are now needed for burning.
Fire Marshal Ken Atamanchuk explains that the County of Grande Prairie is split up into four areas with different requirements for burn barrels, fire pits, and incinerators.
Most of the County is classified as White.
"If you're in that area," explains Atamanchuk, "what you will need is a verbal notification, which means you will call the County office, and you'll let the receptionist know exactly your land location and what you want to burn; she'll give you some guidelines and that'll be entered into our database."
The Yellow area requires an inspection during fire season, Red needs a permit year-round, and Green is under Alberta forestry jurisdiction.
To find out what area you're in, visit the County's website.
Burning permits are free and valid for a ten day period.

Dear Editor – After Second World War on Guadalcanal this chain of scattered islands was declared British Solomon Islands protectorate.
Perhaps we were indeed fortunate from being colonised.
In my simple understanding, colonized is just simply like one of the streets in London developed and looked after.
Solomon Islands history reminds us that traders and black-birding continue to convince and confuse Pacific islanders to surrender their lands in exchange of simple items that Pacific islanders regarded as valuable and important to them.
The British Government setup its administration centre at Tulagi on Gela island, now Central Islands province.
Also Christianity had great challenge to inject and influence God's world to convert all souls into the light of Christianity.
Some bright boys were sent to Pawa School on Ugi Island Makira Ulawa province, while others went to New Zealand and Norfolk Island for further education in order to become our future leaders in the government and churches.
Thank God for the first chapter in Solomon Islands history to become what we are, and who we are today.
Those who served under British Solomon islands protectorate had something to learn and could pass on to those in leadership roles and responsibilities more especially on discipline and time management, which is lacking in the public service.
Others in the essential services must fulfill the obligation of what the public is required of them.
Solomon Islands attaining political independence from Great Britain on 7th July 1978 does not really mean we have to localize our ways of thinking and doing things the way we like.
There were standing orders that must be adhered to in all government offices and private sectors and we have to work extra harder to manage our political destiny all well and good.
Solomon Islands is a country of its own as it has it all in some provinces on lands and national international infrastructures.
All provinces, including Honiara city, must improve on socio-economic development, peace and national security at all costs.
Academics this is your country being architect by the past leaders and continue to rule with care and love to all God's creations.
God bless Solomon islands from shore to shore.
Matt Waifo

This campaign to inspect Dimona, Israel's nuclear facility caught my eye, as it highlights the hypocrisy that stares us in the face continuously, particularly in the light of Netanyahu's posturing over the Iran nuclear agreement. I quote:
In 1986, Mordechai Vanunu was thrown in prison for exposing Israel's nuclear weapons secrets. To this day, Israel maintains a "no comment" policy towards their nuclear weapons program. Under the Symington Amendment of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, it is illegal to send U.S. economic, and military assistance, and export credits to countries that deliver or receive, acquire or transfer nuclear enrichment technology when they do not comply with IAEA regulations and inspections.
Israel has repeatedly rejected international calls for inspection by the IAEA. According to the Congressional Research Service, the United States will be sending Israel over $3.7 billion in foreign aid for 2016. Wouldn't that money be better used back in the U.S. to help our schools and failing infrastructure?
If Tel Aviv has nothing to hide at the nuclear facilities at Dimona, then they should have nothing to fear. It's time to #InspectDimona!
End of quote.
Unfortunately, it is but one of, perhaps, more than a thousand examples I could give of the hypocrisy and deceit that underlies the world we live in and how it is run and controlled. It's so blatant and yet the world the world's press and leaders carry on as if it doesn't exist and almost no-one questions it, primarily because they are mesmerised by the lies of the Holocaust propaganda, both goyim and Jews alike.

A long legal process can drain an injured victim emotionally and financially, but with lawsuit funding, plaintiffs can stay financially afloat while their attorney fights for the best possible settlement. Lawsuit funding is a cash advance against a pending claim. A finance company will provide funding based on the merits of the case, so the funding company will need case documentation from the plaintiff's attorney before funding can be approved. Because an applicant's financial status is not considered in the approval process, employment and credit history do not matter.
Are you in need of financial assistance during your pending claim? Would an advance on your lawsuit help pay the bills? If you answered yes, contact a legal funding expert for safe, secure cash against your pending claim.

Four days absence.

Four days absence.
I've just completed a four day embroidery school. Two projects – as different as chalk and cheese.
Such a fascinating subject in The Guardian. Should we delve into authors' lives?
It's so relevant in this quick-to-judge society in which we live.
And so my last (for the moment) historical fiction novel is now doing its satellite thing across the reading universe and another novel is in construction phase.
Or should that be the 'imaginating' phase or the 'jotting and plotting' phase?

It would be normal to then shout 'Action', but I'm not quite there yet. 'Action!' will be when Michael is available on Amazon, sometime next week. And it's not unlike making a movie – telling a creative and unique storyline, revealing stunning settings, capturing nuances. Then editing, editing, editing…
What inspires a new novel?
What inspires a fantasy?
It's quite simple…

Coming off a 3-1 win against Everton away in the Women's Super League last weekend, Chelsea travelled to Paris for their first Women's Champions League match of the season against Paris Saint-Germain in the group stage. Our opponents will most likely prove themselves tough to beat as the team who were only beaten by eventual champions Olympique Lyon in last season's semi-finals of the continental competition.
A hard challenge demands us to be at our best, and that is what motivated Denise Reddy to send our best eleven out on the pitch tonight.
Paris Saint-Germain starting eleven:
Bouhaddi | Lawrence, De Almeida, Ilestedt, Karchaoui, Jean-François, Groenen, Fazer, Geyoro (c), Diani, Bachmann
Substitutes from: Picaud, Toussaint, Hamraoui, Cascarino, Baltimore, Georgieva, Li, Mengwen, Yang Lina, Ngueleu, Traore
Chelsea starting line-up (3-4-3?):
Berger | Buchanan, Bright, Eriksson (c) | Reiten, Ingle, Mjelde, Cuthbert | Charles, Kerr, Harder
Substitutes from: Musovic, Orman, Nouwen, Carter, England, James, Svitkova, Perisset, Fleming, Kaneryd, Abdullina
Date / Time: Thursday, October 20, 20.00 BST; 3pm EDT; 12:30am IST (next day)
Venue: Stade Jean-Bouin, Paris, France

I lost my wife very suddenly at the beginning of December 2021 just over a month ago. We were sat at opposite ends of the kitchen table and she was on the telephone to a friend. For some reason I looked up and saw her head had dropped onto her left shoulder. I jumped up and ran to her instinctively knowing something was very wrong. I cuddled her asking her to wake up. Apart from a couple of grunts I got no response. I rang 999 and she suddenly stopped breathing. I was told to get her on the floor and begin cpr which I did.
I think I got her breathing again momentarily but she stopped and I began cpr again. I had training at work many years ago but don't know whether I did it correctly. The paramedics arrived quickly used a defribulator intubated her and gave adrenalin all to no effect and she was pronounced dead on our kitchen floor. She was 66 years old. It turned out it was her heart which had previously not been diagnosed.
I keep seeing her in trouble her clothes cut off to facilitate medical help. I feel guilty not saving her life.
My wife was disabled due to Multiple Sclerosis first appearing age 25 but not diagnosed until she was 45. I could not imagine having a family in case I worsened her health. She worked all her life until retirement aged 49 due to the MS. At 57 she was diagnosed with Cancer having to undergo 5.5 hours of surgery. She was a fighter and termed it a 'blip'.
Her MS deteriorated during Covid due to lack of exercise. She cared for herself as much as I did for her. She was very independent and bordered on stubborn at times refusing to consider a wheelchair stick or any other aid. I loved her dearly but sometimes got frustrated and lost my temper saying things I regret including using inappropriate foul language.
I regret so many things. I am bereft without her in my life. I cannot see a future without her. I fear the loneliness. She was my best friend, my rock, my confidant and the glue that held me together. She was my life and without her all I see is black.

The Kate Alison Bronstein Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund was established in 2007 by Pat Gallien and David Bronstein of Houston, Texas in loving memory of their daughter, Kate Alison Bronstein.
Kate loved art, and her life has led to countless people experiencing art, both in their homes and around the world. She also found joy in helping others, so it's only fitting that her life has created opportunities for students who followed her to Baylor to receive a helping hand as they pursue their dreams.
To hear friends and family describe Kate, one gets the feeling her legacy would make her proud. On November 14, 2007, Kate died due to a car accident while still a sophomore at Baylor; in her honor, family and friends banded to create a scholarship that helps Baylor art students study abroad.
Kate cared deeply for her friends and family. She was a strong-willed and focused individual who knew what she wanted in life and pursued it with passion. During her time at Baylor, she was double majoring in art history and international studies and was a member of Kappa Delta sorority, serving as the special events coordinator. Fellow students described Kate as ambitious, dedicated, joyful, and a friend who was always there for others. Her parents, sister and all who knew her will dearly missed Kate.
Since its inception, the Kate Alison Bronstein Memorial Scholarship Fund has provided many Baylor students with study abroad awards — helping inspire those students by immersion in other cultures as they've pursued their artistic dreams. The scholarship has grown thanks in part to a creative (and appropriate) method of raising funds: art auctions.
The featured art has come from a variety of sources, including original works donated by some of Kate's Baylor professors. In addition to raising funds to aid Baylor students, the auctions have also led to many of Kate's loved ones owning art of their own — something she certainly would have appreciated.
In 2022, on the 15th anniversary of the start of this scholarship, her family continues to dedicate time and energy to ensure that future Baylor students benefit from her time on campus. We invite you to join us in honoring this important milestone by making a gift.
Interested donors can click here to make a gift in any amount, both honoring Kate and serving current and future Baylor students.
*Family representatives of Kate Alison Bronstein will be notified of all donors who help to support this fund in her memory.

It didn't quite go as I hoped, but I can't complain.
After an exciting few weeks the MapChangers contest has come to a close. More than 9,000 people voted over the course of the contest, casting 18,500 votes. In a very close third round and after hard-fought final day of voting, Forward Together PAC is excited to declare Colorado's Bill Winter the winner of our MapChangers Grand Prize.
A Fighting Dem, Bill is running in Colorado's 6th district against controversial Republican Tom Tancredo. The Winter campaign ran a spirited campaign and had tremendous success in turning out their online supporters to bring them to victory. Governor Warner congratulates all eleven of the MapChangers from the last round. The online mobilization skills those campaigns developed for the contest will be essential to their strategy come election day.
Tancredo is a reprehensible, vile racist, so any support for his opponent is all to the good. As this comment on BOR makes clear, the effort to get Governor Warner to throw two fundraisers is still ongoing, so John Courage's second place showing may still be a winner. Regardless, congratulations to Bill Winter, a worthy champion running against one of the worst that the Congressional Republicans have to offer.

The 31 films to compete for the prize, the world's largest international gay and lesbian short film prize, have been announced by festival organisers in Cardiff. The winner will be offered a chance to make a new short film with the prize valued at £25,000.
"Once again the shortlist for the 2012 Iris Prize represents the best of the best. Half of the short-listed films have been nominated by our partner festivals – film festivals from around the world that have their fingers on the pulse of upcoming gay and lesbian filmmaking talent. I'm confident that amongst this year's shortlist we have yet another winner deserving of the Iris Prize," said Berwyn Rowlands, Iris Prize founder.
Stories include a young boy's trauma waiting for body hair to grow, a love story which develops thanks to a Polaroid camera, the unexpected comfort in coffee and pie especially when you're being dumped, and a dramatic one night stand with a serial killer.
The films will screen during this year's Iris Prize Festival which takes place from October 10th – 14th in Cardiff.

ACRU Files Amicus Brief Opposing Prior Restraints on Speech
ACRU Staff
July 11, 2023
In an amicus curiae brief, joined by the Alabama Center for Law and Liberty, the ACRU supported the Petitioners in Center for Medical Progress v. National Abortion Federation in their effort to obtain certiorari review in the United States Supreme Court. The district court imposed an injunction that prohibited Petitioners from distributing materials gathered at meetings of the National Abortion Federation. The Petitioners complained that the injunction amounted to an unconstitutional prior restraint on speech.
The ACRU traced the history of opposition to prior restraints in England, colonial America, and the American Republic. That history shows that opposition to prior restraints on speech is at the core of the First Amendment's protection. In addition, none of the grounds for restricting speech appeared to cover the materials Petitioners wanted to release.

The attorney and mother of five also says she's heard from people close to Shannon that she tends to change who she is when cameras are rolling.
No longer a novice of "The Real Housewives of Orange County," Emily Simpson's opening up about going into Season 14 with several strained relationships.
During a recent interview with Domenick Nati, the attorney and mother of five said she felt Shannon Beador (who spent last season openly disliking the newcomers), Vicki Gunvalson (who was recently demoted to cast friend) and Tamra Judge (who introduced Emily to the show) were "just out for themselves."
When asked who of her co-stars tends to be the least trustworthy, Emily didn't hesitate. "I'm just gonna group them all together and just say the Tres Amigas," she said. "I think that those three are just out for themselves. I don't trust them as a whole, as a group."
Clarifying, she continued, "The Tres Amigas — they self-proclaim themselves the Tres Amigas — it's Shannon, Vicki and Tamra. They stick together very tightly and they don't like to go outside their group, so I would be leery of trying to infiltrate that group."
Emily also said she's heard from people close to Shannon that she tends to change who she is when cameras are rolling.
"I just know that some of the other women have made comments that Shannon Beador is very different when she's not filming, so that is just things that I've heard from other people that're closer to her than I am," Emily said, adding that she can't speak from firsthand experience because "I don't know her very well at all. She still doesn't talk to me very much."
Although she's not Vicki's biggest fan, Emily assured angry viewers that the recently demoted series OG is still "very much a part of the show and the cast." Shannon told TooFab the same thing.
"Honestly, I was surprised by [the demotion]," Emily revealed. "I didn't know really what they were doing with Vicki. I have never spoken to Vicki about it. I'm sure that she's not happy and probably feels a little rejected, but I know a lot of people have said, 'I'm not gonna watch if Vicki's not on it.' I know Vicki has a different title, per se, but Vicki's on the show, and she's on a lot. I filmed with her a ton, so it's not really like she's making a little cameo here and there and just guest appearances. I mean, she's very much a part of the show and the cast."
"I don't think it was anything personal," she added. "I mean, obviously, Vicki Gunvalson's great for TV. I mean, she's amazing on TV, but I think it's probably just a business decision, where they just need to kind of rotate out and rotate in. That's what they do. It's a business."
Emily was also asked how she would describe the current status of her unconventional marriage; she was given the options "happy, strong or troubled."
"I would say it's probably a combination of all three," she said. "I mean, I'm not speculating that there's any divorce or anything in the future, but you know, we definitely have our ups and downs. You'll see a lot of that this season, especially with a lot of the pressures that we are dealing with as a married couple."
As viewers learned last season, Emily and her attorney husband, Shane Simpson, had quite the bizarre start to their marriage: He was a colleague who essentially agreed to marry her over Google chat. The two went on to have three children together. Emily's sister, Sara, served as her surrogate. Shane, a strict Mormon, also has two other children from a previous marriage.
Shane made arguably more of a splash than Emily did last season after throwing a drunk Gina Kirschenheiter out of his home and getting into a nasty war of words with Kelly Dodd. He also became a fan-favorite to bash on Twitter. According to Emily, all of that combined "absolutely" put a strain on their relationship.
"It's like taking a highlighter and highlighting everything bad that happens in your life or every time your husband says something snarky," she said. "It's like putting a neon flag on it for everybody to comment and judge. It's definitely hard on your marriage."
"Shane does a much better job of dealing with it," she continued. "He laughs at a lot of things, and when people make derogatory comments about him, he thinks it's funny! But a lot of times, it's not funny! Like, I get really affected by it."
While Emily says she's learned to block out almost 100 percent of the online body-shaming she receives, it still sometimes gets to her.
"The body-shaming I just think is ridiculous. I know I ignore I'd say 99 percent of it, but when I do lash out, I lash out pretty hard," she explained. "But when I call it out and I lash out, I feel like I'm doing it as a spokesperson for all women who aren't a size 0 or a size 2. It's hurtful, but I don't let it affect me. I mean, it stings, I have to be honest. It definitely stings to read all the horrible things about yourself, but at the end of the day, I still have a lot of confidence. I still think I have a great body. I still think that men love curves. I still think that I look healthy."
"Filming with such petite women, sometimes I feel kind of like the Jolly Green Giant next to them, but it's just who I am, and it makes me unique," she added.
When asked to elaborate on the intensity of the cyber-bullying she faces, Emily said, "I would get comments from women, like direct messages, calling me 'fat,' 'fatass,' 'you're disgusting,' 'you need to lose weight.' Even people said things like, 'Your daughter's fat. You need to lose weight for your daughter.' I don't know, I guess it was just the fatass comments where I was like, you know, I'm like a size 8 or something right now. I feel like if I walked passed you on the street you would've never said something like that to me! I just look like a normal, average girl walking down the street. But I don't know, you put yourself in a position where people feel like you're not a real person, and they can just comment and attack you and make fun of you and it's hard sometimes."
Although she's relatively all-natural, Emily has "no shame in the plastic surgery game."
"I've had a breast reduction and breast lift and implants, so I've had three breast surgeries," she explained, noting that the operations all came at different times, ages and weights. "I'll probably do it again at some point whenever I feel the need. When I turned 40, I did a reduction and lift, so that was the last one."
Emily also said Season 14 viewers are going to be "totally surprised" to see her bond with Kelly, who she threatened to kill at a party after Kelly called Shane a "little bitch" and a "p—y" multiple times.
"It's not every day you threaten to kill someone, so sometimes it's hard to come back from that, but I'll be honest, the viewers this season are gonna be totally surprised because Kelly and I have no issues," Emily revealed. "I consider Kelly one of my closest friends. It's definitely done a 360, so it's interesting to watch."
"I'm not the kind of girl who holds grudges," she added. "I mean, I threaten to kill people, and then I move on pretty easily."
"The Real Housewives of Orange County" Season 14 premieres Tuesday, August 6 at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

To date I have attempted to shoot the Aurora Borealis twice. The first time was in September in the Peace Region, just north of Fort St. John, and the second was just recently over the holidays in Yellowknife, on the Dettah Ice Road.
Both times I tried different things and got very different results. Ironically, I think my first attempt was better than my second. Lets take a look and compare.
ISO400, 11mm, f/8, 30 seconds
ISO200, 16mm, f/13, 70 seconds
The biggest thing you will notice is the shutter speed. The first time I left it open to the longest preset of 30 seconds, the second time I used the BULB setting and timed it to about 70 second.
I'm not sure why I tried 70 seconds on the second attempt. Partly I think it was because when I had first gone out the lights were not out as strong, but they did end up coming out. As I scoured Flickr afterwards I think the most common shutter speeds are 15 and 30 seconds. It makes sense as you can see above in my first attempt. The ISO is also a mystery to me. I'm afraid to go any higher that ISO640 in fear my photos will look graining. What I have noticed on Flickr, is that if you want the foreground to show use a higher ISO. If you want it to appear more of a silhouette use a lower ISO. I read that my Nikon D90 works best at ISO200 so I had it there for my second attempt.
What I am struggling with on some level is my cameras capabilities. I'm read over and over that it is not the gear you use, it is how you use it. I tend to disagree with this when it comes to the Aurora. Obviously camera that are better suited for low-lighting will shine through in quality. For the time being though I have the D90 and I'll stick with it.
These are some of my lessons learned in the first two attempts with Aurora. Do you have any advise and do something that works for you?
