crankandpiston heads to Spa-Francorchamps to take in the sights and sounds of Modena Trackdays. And a boatload of Ferraris. And Jacky Ickx.
[Not a valid template]For the 30 years, Modena Trackdays have been running – and for as long as I can remember if it comes to that – I have wanted to attend. I remember an epic video I once saw of a Ferrari parade at the Nurburgring. With the roar of countless Ferraris new and old heading full throttle out onto the track at my disposal, needless to say my jaw hit the floor.
So with this life-changing event, I knew I had to find a way to see and hear this soundtrack for myself. After weeks of planning and finger crossing for good weather (I didn't want a rainy repeat of the Spa Classic), I headed out the door with my good friend Tim Brown.
Mother Nature chose to be kind on this occasion though. The sun was shining and the paddock was a sea of red. I lost count after a matter of seconds how many Ferraris were in my field of view and started my hunt for something special. That wasn't hard, the field on offer awash with F40s, brand new F12berlinettas, '90s Formula 1 single seaters by the dozen, and a certain Jacky Ickx.
Yes, you heard me right. I bumped into the eight-time Grand Prix winner, since fortunately for me he is just as nibble on his feet as he is in a race car. He was invited by the organisers to sign some autographs and pilot the safety car. When I say 'pilot the safety car', I mean wring the neck of a brand new Audi R8. The legend still knows how to drive.
As we stalked him like ninjas with our cameras, Jacky lead both Tim and I to that 'certain something special' we had been searching for. Sitting alone in one of the pit boxes lay one the most stunning pieces of Italian design and engineering the world has ever seen: a pristine Ferrari 312 Formula 1 car. With its Ferrari red cigar-like body, grooved fat tyres and the gorgeous twisted white exhaust pipes, it instantly dropped us to our knees in amazement. This car, hands down, is one of the most beautiful things I think I have ever seen. You only have to look at it to imagine the sound and it looks fast even sitting still. Perfection!
As the track day got underway and cars headed out onto the track, Spa Francorchamps was once again transformed from a peaceful haven to a fire-breathing dragon. With up to 30 cars on track at any given moment the hills were alive with the sound of V8s and V10s. A sound everyone should hear in his or her lifetime.

Many people may know Edward Jenner for his development of the first vaccine against smallpox. However, many people may not know that he was also a naturalist, a scientist, and physician. This article will cover his achievements, from his study of cuckoos to his work developing a smallpox vaccine. Learn about Jenner's life and work below. The next section will explore his contributions as a naturalist.
Edward Jenner was a physician
Known as a pioneer of the concept of vaccines, Edward Jenner was a British physician and scientist. He was responsible for the development of the first vaccine to prevent smallpox. His smallpox vaccine was derived from the variolae vaccinae. But it wasn't until the late 1800s that vaccination against smallpox was available for the general public. Luckily, the concept of vaccines was not only adopted in modern medicine but has remained a basic part of modern health care.
In 1796, Jenner performed an experiment on a boy named James Phipps to test whether cowpox inoculation would protect against smallpox. Jenner had heard a myth that cowpox did not cause smallpox and decided to test it. The result was remarkable: James Phipps, a healthy 8-year-old boy, remained immune to the disease. In 1797, Jenner presented his findings to the Royal Society. However, the society rejected his hypothesis. In spite of this, Jenner continued his research on his own 11-month-old son.
After finishing his medical studies, Jenner moved to Berkeley, where he practiced as a family doctor. In the same year, he met with other doctors to form the Gloucestershire Medical Society. During his time there, he was able to meet with other physicians and write medical papers on a wide range of subjects. He also took part in musical activities such as playing violin and light verse. The publication of his work made Jenner an international figure in medical circles.
After completing his medical training in 1770, Jenner went to London to study under the famous surgeon, John Hunter. Hunter was an anatomist and biologist who influenced Jenner's future. He also maintained a relationship with him until his death in 1793. The two-year period spent with Hunter helped him become more interested in natural science. In addition to his work as a physician, Jenner also published several books on the subject.
He developed a vaccine against smallpox
Despite his varied scientific interests, the development of a vaccine against smallpox has received most of the attention. In 1796, Jenner tested a theory that a direct inoculation of cowpox made a person immune to the disease. His hypothesis was based on observations of milkmaids who had been infected with cowpox but were free of smallpox. In order to confirm this hypothesis, Jenner studied the findings of others who had developed the disease.
Edward Jenner was born in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England. At the age of 14, he apprenticed with a local surgeon and went on to study medicine at the University of London under John Hunter, a famous anatomist and surgeon. At age 21, he moved to London to work as a house doctor under John Hunter, one of the most prominent surgeons in London. After studying under Hunter, Jenner decided to develop his own vaccine to treat smallpox.
In 1807, the Government of Bavaria made vaccination mandatory. Since then, most European governments have encouraged or forced vaccination. This vaccine has prevented smallpox from being an almost universal scourge. While Jenner's work was initially controversial, he continued to develop it. In 1815, his wife passed away of tuberculosis and he retired from public life.
The first and second generation vaccines were based on the lymph of an inoculated animal. Later, Jenner developed a vaccine that used tissue cells. The third generation vaccines were based on the replication of a non-replicating virus. The vaccines are now widely available and are produced following the current standards of Good Manufacturing Practices. The WHO needs more information to determine the right vaccine for its population.
He studied cuckoos
A Scottish naturalist named Edward Jenner studied cuckoos in the mid-18th century. His observations led to his becoming a fellow of the Royal Society. His observations proved controversial at the time, but were eventually proven. Jenner's findings were confirmed by photography. In addition to his cuckoo studies, Jenner also studied human blood and geology. He was awarded the Fellowship of the Royal Society in 1788.
The same year, Jenner married Katherine Kingscote. They settled in Berkeley and later moved to Chantry Cottage in Berkeley, where he lived the rest of his life. Jenner and Katherine had four children. Katherine died on 13 September 1815. Jenner is credited with discovering the first scientific paper on cuckoos. His work was the result of his friendship with John Hunter and his studies of zoology.
Jenner's work contributed to the field of immunology. He is credited with saving more human lives than any other scientist in history. In 1821, he was appointed physician-extraordinary to King George IV. He was also a mayor of Berkeley, a justice of the peace, and a member of the Royal Society. His research on cuckoos was so significant that the BBC named him to their list of the "100 Greatest Britons" in 2002.
Edward Jenner was an English physician and scientist who is credited with introducing smallpox vaccination. Jenner was born in Gloucestershire and spent most of his life in Berkeley. He completed his training at St George's Hospital in London, where he lodged with a surgeon named Daniel Ludlow. In 1813, he published his first scientific paper. A year later, the research on the vaccine was widely acclaimed.
He was a naturalist
A naturalist, physician, and scientist named Edward Jenner was a British doctor and scientist. He is credited with creating the world's first vaccine, against smallpox. Jenner obtained the vaccine from a fungus called Variolae vaccinae. His research helped pave the way for vaccines. Jenner is best known for developing the smallpox vaccine. It was named after Variolae vaccinae, the fungus that causes smallpox.
As a boy, Jenner was interested in nature, and under the supervision of Hunter, he developed his interest and knowledge of the natural world. He arranged specimens from the Cook voyage and he later assisted Hunter's zoological studies in Berkeley and London. Hunter's encouragement influenced Jenner's scientific methods, which he applied in his work, including the introduction of vaccination. In 1789, Jenner was elected a fellow of the Royal Society.
In addition to developing vaccines, Jenner developed a method to purify human blood and use it as a plant fertilizer. He also studied the behavior of migratory birds. His interest in natural history led him to begin his career in medicine at a young age, but his early work as a naturalist was critical of his work. He was also a noted naturalist and a prolific writer.
Although he died a premature death, his work saved many lives. He made a lot of discoveries on how to combat the diseases that plague the human race. He discovered a connection between cowpox pus and smallpox in humans and developed a vaccine. Jenner also discovered a technique to create immunity to the disease known as variolation, which used smallpox to inoculate a human with the virus.
He was a musician
Edward Jenner was born in 1748 in Gloucestershire and grew up in the country. His father, a clergyman, taught him the basics of medical practice, and his brother was also a clergyman. He loved the outdoors and nature and attended grammar school. At the age of thirteen, he became an apprentice to a surgeon in the area. He developed a strong knowledge of medical practice, and at the age of 21 he went to London to study medicine. He became a house pupil of the prominent surgeon John Hunter, who was a member of the medical staff at St. George's Hospital.
He had limited fortune, but had connections in the aristocracy, and aristocracy. His connections included the Kingscote family and the Lord Berkeley. He also had a large clientele among the gentry and aristocracy, and he founded the Cheltenham Literary and Philosophical Society. His music has been performed at numerous royal and prestigious events, and he was often invited to play in the Royal Conservatoire.
While he was a musician, Jenner also had an interest in natural history. From an early age, he collected fossils and nests. His fossil specimen of the plesiosaurus was the first to be identified in Britain. In 1809, Jenner was elected an honorary member of the Geological Society and became a member of the Barrow Hill Club, which included John Baron and Edward Gardner. He also worked for Sir Joseph Banks, and was a part of the team preparing for the first voyage of the 1771. His second voyage was more successful, and he declined the position of Naturalist.
Another important aspect of Jenner's life was his involvement in the medical community. He worked as a country doctor. His discovery that cowpox could protect against smallpox was an astonishing discovery. However, people were not convinced of the validity of Jenner's theory, and some argued that inoculating a person with a diseased animal was disgusting. In 1802, a cartoon depicted a person with the disease growing out of a cow's head. Jenner also studied his wife's breasts, and was in the thick of the action.

The Government aims to deliver 300,000 new homes by the end of 2030 under the €4 billion-per-year Housing for All plan to be unveiled today.
The plan to ramp up supply in a bid to finally tackle the housing crisis will also include a pledge to end homelessness by the end of the decade.
The success of the plan will be crucial for the future fortunes of the three Coalition parties.
The Cabinet is to provide the final sign-off on the plan today before Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien will formally launch it alongside Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar and Green Party leader Eamon Ryan.
Almost 90,000 of the homes to be delivered are to be social housing, with a target of a further 36,000 affordable properties over the next nine years.
Another 18,000 homes will be designated cost rental, where rents will be at least 25 per cent below the market rate.
The remaining 156,000 homes – 52 per cent of the total – are to be delivered through the private market.
A source described it as a "massive" construction programme on a scale that exceeds the heyday of social home building in the past.
New builds
Of the average of 10,000 social homes to be made available per year over the course of the plan, 9,500 are to be new builds, with the remainder to be provided through a repair and leasing scheme for bringing vacant properties back into use.
Affordable homes will be provided either through a shared equity scheme or the separate Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme.
With just more than half of the housing to be delivered by the private sector, sources pointed to plans to activate dormant planning permissions – of which there are 80,000 nationwide with half in Dublin – as part of efforts to encourage development.
A plan, code-named Project Tosaigh, would see the Land Development Agency (LDA) – which is tasked with delivering housing on State-owned land – play a role in activating such planning permissions.
Another initiative, Croí Cónaithe – a €500 million fund to help developers and local authorities make the development of sites viable – was also cited as a measure to boost development in the private market. Developers with planning permission for high-density apartment blocks in cities will be able to apply for this fund on the condition the benefit is passed on to an owner-occupier buyer.
Spending power
The LDA is to see a €1 billion increase of its expected spending power to €3.5 billion.
Other measures in the plan include a vacant property tax and "land value sharing" whereby property owners and developers will have to pay the State up to half of the increase in the value of land when it is rezoned for housing.
The plan will initially be funded over the next five years to the tune of €20.5 billion, including €12 billion in direct exchequer funding, €5 billion provided through the Housing Finance Agency and the €3.5 billion from the LDA.
Sources said the intention is that the €4 billion per year funding would be maintained, with up to €36 billion being spent by 2030.

The House and Senate approved a five-year balanced budget agreement before the Memorial Day recess that, if left unchecked, could handcuff efforts to increase funding for use in rebuilding our transportation infrastructure through 2002.
The agreement pretty much seals the fate of fiscal year 1998 (FY98) highway funding, as well as other forms of transportation funding. By all accounts, the agreement should provide highway funding for FY98 at a level similar to, and perhaps slightly above, that of the $20 billion for FY97.
Although the agreement was reached before the recess, with Congress adjourning immediately thereafter little was known about details of the agreement. ÒWe really aren't going to know about funding between each of the categories, and within highways, until Congress comes back from the break,Ó said Bill Peterson, vice president and director of government affairs for the Construction Industry Manufacturers Association (CIMA). Congress was to reconvene June 2.
With FY98 highway funding numbers locked in, the $64,000 question (or should I say $20 billion question) is what comes after FY98. According to Peterson, if the balanced budget agreement is left as is, highway funding could be locked in for the next five years.
How do we get around this perpetual (and woefully inadequate) $20 billion ceiling through 2002? ÒThere are all kinds of proposals that may be floated,Ó said Peterson. One possibility is passing only a one-year version of the ISTEA reauthorization, or National Economic Crossroads Transportation Efficiency Act (NEXTEA).
Prior to approval of the balanced budget agreement, amendments designed to boost highway funding as part of the agreement were defeated by one vote each in the House and Senate. In the House, an amendment proposed by Bud Schuster (R-Pa.), transportation committee chairman, was defeated 216-214. Schuster's proposal reportedly would have increased funding for roads and transit by $12 billion through 2002.
A sensible salt man
During the North American Snow Conference in Kansas City, Mo., in April, the American Public Works Association, the conference's host, recognized Darryl Hearn, chief engineer with the Salt Institute, for his 22 years of service in snowfighting. The institute also held a chili dinner in his honor during the conference at which we were fortunate to attend.
Darryl, who announced his retirement from the institute earlier this year, was one of the first industry people to shake my hand and welcome me into the fold when I joined the magazine six years ago. His ÒsaltyÓ exterior always fails to hide his open, friendly character.
As Darryl transitions into the role that seems eventually to claim all of us in this industry--that of consultant--we say thanks and wish him the best.

"Our American partners have brought non-food items to Georgia," a ministry press-officer said. He did not specify what exactly the goods were.
The USS McFaul is the first of three ships carrying aid cargoes due in Georgia.
Two more U.S. ships carrying humanitarian aid are expected in Georgia in the next few days. NATO has sent a Polish frigate and a U.S. destroyer through the Bosporus to boost its presence in the Black Sea, a source in the Turkish navy said on Saturday.
Russia's General Staff earlier said it was concerned by the nature of cargoes the United States was airlifting to Georgia, questioning if they were really humanitarian aid. The U.S. sent two C-17 military planes to Georgia in mid-August as part of a Pentagon humanitarian mission.
The U.S. expressed its support for its ally Georgia after the former Soviet republic's ground and air attack on breakaway South Ossetia on August 8. It also criticized Russia's response to the assault as "disproportionate." The majority of the residents of South Ossetia have Russian citizenship.
Figures for fatalities during the August 8 attack are not yet clear, with South Ossetia saying over 1,500 people died. Russia has established 133 deaths, admitting however that makeshift burials had made determining an accurate death toll difficult.

BI's Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.
To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, "workers compensation". This will limit your search to that combination of words.
To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, "hurricane" & "loss".
Data by U.S.-based cyber insurance and security provider Coalition Inc. showed that more than 40% of cyber insurance claims in North America in the first half of the year were related to ransomware attacks, Infosecurity Magazine reported. This was followed by fund transfer losses (27%) and business email compromise incidents (19%), which rounded out the top three attack types by number of claims.

As granite-hewn Viking woman Eivor, I've done a lot of things in Assassin's Creed Valhalla: I've run across boundless landscapes. I've raided more churches than I can count. I've stabbed guys and thrown their bodies at other guys, who I've then proceeded to stab, thus beginning anew a process I like to call The Circle Of Guys. But I've also done a formidable amount of reading, which has surprised me, seeing as the vast majority of Vikings could not read.
Like a great many other modern video games, Assassin's Creed Valhalla frequently dispenses scraps of story through literal scraps of paper. A random note in somebody's house might communicate their true feelings, their darkest secrets, or how much they love cats (spoiler: too much). Sometimes this text just adds flavour to the world. Other times, notes function as crucial links in longer quest chains. In any case, they're everywhere. Eivor reads them and internalizes their contents, occasionally remarking out loud about what she's learned.
I hate it! Though early Vikings made runic inscriptions, their societies were not literate in the traditional sense. Instead, they had a rich oral tradition, which Valhalla does at least pay homage to through storytelling during naval voyages, flyting (rhyming battles of wits that increase your charisma stat), and Eivor's general knack for poetry. This is not to say that Vikings didn't keep records. They were a smart, sophisticated people, as opposed to the variant on the "noble savage" trope we get in many pieces of media these days. But skalds — court poets, basically — mostly did their record keeping orally, through lengthy, possibly fictionalized poems describing the accomplishments of kings and other heroic figures.
It wasn't until Vikings converted to Christianity around the 11th century that writing became more common (Valhalla takes place in the 9th century, near the beginning of the Viking Age). Most writing about Vikings prior to that period came from the perspectives of those who dealt with Vikings, whether through diplomacy and politics or that whole "raiding" thing Vikings liked to do. The latter led to another interesting phenomenon: Many early writings about Vikings came from clergymen (one of the few groups of people in England who could semi-reliably read and write at the time) who were pissed off that Vikings had ransacked their churches.
All of which is to say: It's highly unlikely that somebody like Eivor would know how to read or write. And even if they did, there's basically zero chance they'd have run around the countryside reading notes from random English peasants who, against all odds, were also somehow literate.
I know what you're thinking: "Wow dude, you want historical accuracy from the series that features magic apples and the lost city of Atlantis as central plot points? Shut the fuck up!" I know you're thinking that because I'm also thinking that. If ever there was a time I would like for myself to shut the fuck up, it's now. But I can't. My brain won't stop registering this complaint every time I come across a note in the game.
Given everything else the Assassin's Creed series contains — genetic time travel, rideable wolves, an ancient race called the "Isu" that created humanity — literacy is an objectively dumb breaking point. On top of that, I used to hate Realism Guys. There is simply no good reason to be opposed to, for example, Black people in fantasy settings inspired by portions of medieval Europe (that, in all likelihood, were not bereft of Black people), women in positions of power, or LGBTQ+ people existing. Never mind that, again, these people almost certainly did exist in the real places that inspired these fictional settings; the bigger issue is that it's all fantasy. If you can have dragons or, heck, main characters who speak perfect English and don't die the moment a sword skewers their guts, you can have whatever you want. But now, suddenly, I'm a Realism Guy. I've become that which I despise. I look in the mirror, and I want to stab the guy I see and throw him at a bunch of other guys.
But Assassin's Creed is still a series that leans hard into recreating historical settings down to very specific details. I enjoy those details and think that, in this particular instance, they could lead to more interesting stories than the ones Valhalla is telling. Don't get me wrong: I love Axehead. But every quirky vignette along those lines is followed by several humdrum notes in which a character describes Their Whole Thing in a painfully on-the-nose fashion. At that point, they are not people; they're just packaging intended to keep all the content from growing stale.
What if, instead of reading notes, Eivor surveyed environments and came to her own conclusions, ala The Witcher III and — sometimes, but not often enough — Assassin's Creed Valhalla? What if communication between in-game characters wasn't just a series of perfect English conversations between people with slightly different accents? What if quests leaned more into the minutiae of Viking life — surviving, physically constructing settlements, devising tactics — rather than fast-forwarding through it all to get to mindless raids and bog-standard Assassin's Creed missions? Or heck, what if the game's focus was entirely different? What if instead of a warrior, you were a skald? What if poetry and storytelling were your main means of interacting with the world, rather than violence? But then, since this would still be an Assassin's Creed game, you could also use your unassuming role as a means of getting close to assassination targets? I think that would be a neat game.
But these ideas do not fit the Assassin's Creed mould, which has increasingly come to prioritise content over substance. That's not to say that there isn't any substance — just that it's spread out, with ample filler between rare slabs of authentic intrigue. The way the game keeps you constantly moving through lightweight activities without forcing you to open your map is actually pretty ingenious, but it does mean that everything blurs together after a while. It also necessitates a whole, whole lot of content to sustain such a gargantuan world. The game's structure is an expression of this. Houses and buildings are slight variations on each other, or straight up copies. Mini-stories are frequently conveyed through notes, rather than bespoke environments or creating NPCs for each quest among thousands. That, then, is how we wind up with a world in which early Vikings and English peasants are hyperliterate; there just isn't really another option — at least, not for Assassin's Creed as it exists now.
It does make me wonder what a game more tailored to a historical version of this setting would look like. But it also makes me wonder if I'd play that game, since it probably wouldn't be called Assassin's Creed. I began Valhalla because I wanted comfort food. I got what I expected. But as with other Assassin's Creed games, I find myself hungering for just a bit more after each bite. For now, though, I guess if I want a historical fix, I'll just stick to books.

Informed consent
Question on the quality of informed consent is in the news usually with an attention-grabbing headline such as pelvic exam of women under anesthesia. In reality, informed consent is intergral to the patient experience, especially on elective procedures performed by the hospital which may cause billing disputes. End-of-life procedures, detoxification procedures done with the consent of relatives, surgery done by doctors with the aid of students, done by students with the aid of doctors etc. all require a robust informed consent process.
