NCOA is the foundation of the CTEP program. It is the first of four schools designed to instill and grow leadership qualities and standards in CAP cadets. NCOA focuses on the junior NCO ranks from C/SSgt – C/MSgt. Primary teaching is structured around developing what it truly means to be an NCO based on Air Force traditions and the Learn to Lead books. Students will learn the necessary skills of leadership and the art of utilizing it effectively. With that knowledge, cadets will understand what the true NCO is and the fundamentals of teamwork. To conclude the class and prepare them for the future trials ahead, the students will discover the mental aspect required to effectively utilize the leadership qualities they have gained in the school. Multi-tasking, time management and effective communication are crucial to their future success in CAP. This school prepares them to be effective leaders in both their personal lives and those around them.

The Senior Non-commissioned Officer Academy is designed to provide an environment based on the Learn to Lead curriculum. The mission of the school is to prepare Senior Non-Commissioned Officers for leadership positions within Civil Air Patrol as well as in the community. SNCOA focuses on professional communication (i.e. public speaking, writing, and business communication) as well as the human elements of leadership, practical Senior NCO skills, critical thinking, and the transition to officership. The goal of SNCOA is to enhance cadet training to encourage them to function mentally and physically on a much higher level than expected of them. This is done through physical activity, rigorous homework assignments, teaching tools, leadership forums, and classroom presentations. Prior to attending SNCOA students are expected to have a firm understanding and knowledge of the CAP Cadet Program, as well as the basics of public speaking and formal writing.
The CTEP Leadership School is made up of four different cadet schools and one senior member school. The Cadet Training & Education Program is designed to take cadets as they progress through the program and give them both the knowledge and skills to lead cadets at their level of responsibility. The four schools are taught by cadets that have graduated the final school, the Cadet Command and Staff College. The Training Leaders of Cadets program (TLC) is a senior training activity that focuses on individuals who work with the Cadet Program. TLC students will receive credit for the Training Leaders of Cadets program. Each composite and cadet squadron is required to have at least two TLC seniors.

Wow, high heat and humidity along with two camps moving in and out made for a tired Super Eagle and late blog post. Good thing there is a lake for the eagle to dip her wings in!
Friday brought the end of a busy week for Brownies as they wrapped up a week of fun in the sun and STEM! They experienced weather-related science and we even had young engineers hard at work. Of course there is always time for a little lounging, some great dragonfly crafts and a good campfire. All of this added up to some happy campers now resting up at home.
The Pathfinders practised building shelters with our program staff member, Coral. I was lucky enough to arrive for a visit just in time. Just as the shelters were ready, a rain storm appeared in the sky: high clouds moved in above the shelter, it began to shower and them a big downpour as the bucket clouds emptied. I am not sure who enjoyed it more? 😎 🦅
The weekend brought 16 Moms and 17 kids to camp for Wee Camp. It was a great bunch of campers and some fantastic leaders. The weather cooperated by having the thunderstorms scoot by us to the south so everyone was able to enjoy boating and swimming. Sunday brought the camp to a close with some water games and a picnic lunch outside Stavert lodge.
As we said hello to the new campers coming in for week 3, we waved goodbye to the tired Sparks and their moms. It is sure to be a quiet ride home with the little ones!

We already told you that video games were officially recognized as a sport in Russia. The corresponding order of the Ministry of sport of the Russian Federation was published in the summer of 2016. Discipline "Computer sports" got the number code 1240002411М that makes possible the results of official sports categories the participants and winners of competitions and Championships in various kiberdistsiplin. The first owners of such discharges were students from the city of Kursk.
Delivery of diplomas, medals and the assignment of students II and III sports categories took place after the open championship of the city in the popular card video game Hearthstone developed by Blizzard. The participants, who took 1st and 2nd place, awarded the II sports category computer sports, and for 3rd and 4th place – III. In total, the championship was attended by 310 students from 37 educational institutions of the city of Kursk.
The championship was held with the direct support of the Committee of education and science of the region and of the Committee of youth Affairs of the Kursk region and the Regional Federation of computer sports. In the tournament have also passed the qualifying matches for the discipline of FIFA 18. It is not excluded that soon it will be possible to sports category and for winning in the virtual football championship. Below you can see a brief report of the event prepared by the YouTube channel "Kursk of TV".


text: Antonio Rocquemore, of Power House International Ministries, can be seen telling the individual to "put on man clothes" or leave the church never to come back. The audience can be heard saying "Amen", clapping hands and praising the name of Jesus. The pastor went on saying that he is not discriminating against anyone and is ready to support the man in his 'struggle', but he asks him to show respect to his church in return, and wearing a female outfit, he believes, is disrespectful to the church. The video was shared on social media by Christian James Lhuillier."In a place that is supposed to be a place of change a place of deliverance whatever you want to call it why would you destroy someone in front of a room full of people. This is the kind of bulls**t that causes people to go home and commit suicide. S**t like this is the reason that the church has no power in 2018 because they are so worried about the wrong things," he wrote.

The foreign exchange represents the Foreign Currency Exchange. Basically, it's the trading of the world money. You get world money, hold it for a time period, as well as anticipate/ hope that it will rise in worth. When that takes place, you market it. It seems fairly comparable to dealing equities. Other than that, it can be a lot more high-risk than patronizing the standard stock exchange. Here are the Dangers of Forex Trading [อันตรายจากการเทรด Forex, which is the term in Thai].
Qualities of the Forex market that make it unsafe for your wallet:
- It's open 24 hours of the day, even more chance for you to shed money, except weekend breaks
- Lots of investors concur that this market is, significantly, based upon the supposition
- The foreign exchange market can be largely influenced by national politics, globe information, or anything that occurs in the world, so super unpredictable.
- It is extremely technical as well as you will require to recognize the trading vocabulary prior to you also begin.
- You will need to pay costs for any kind of profits that you sustain, in addition to trading costs and payments, the brokerages make money even when you lose cash- they do not actually care.
- Commonly the brokers will urge you to take advantage of loaning cash to make money, aka "trading on margin," and also, if you seal a wrong deal, you're basically instantaneously screwed, majorly.
- When you are encouraged to leverage, it can be massive, like for every single $1 you have, you can obtain $100.
- Large volume, high liquidity, this can be excellent or bad, I suppose.
There are lots of forex day trading firms appearing nowadays, specifically with it being so simple online. Simply beware and make sure you do not go head over heels and discover on your own in spending financial debt, if you are still thinking about trading on the Forex Market, you should attempt a Forex Market simulator first. Also, I listen to that they have Forex Robotics that use algorithms to make the currency trades automatically, which could aid to take the panicky psychology behind money professions, and aid to limit your losses.

Meet Ryan Harris. Photo: Jawad Chabib
This Is What It's Like To Be A Black Surfer In Los Angeles
"This jackass pulled me over and fucking cocked his shotgun and pointed it right through my window at my face."
Ryan Harris is a zany, candid, and infectiously optimistic surfboard shaper who calls Los Angeles home.
I met Ryan about half-a-year ago when he DMed about doing a Joyride on one of his Earth Technologies surfboards. His request was eagerly accepted, both to fulfill my foam addiction and because I wanted to see if a "zero-waste" surfboard could perform at a high level. (Unfortunately, that Joyride was postponed due to the whole covid situation. It will be completed ASAP).
Yesterday, I reached out to Ryan for reasons totally unrelated to surfboards. I reached out to Ryan because he happens to be African American surfer living in Los Angeles.
Frankly, I was unsure of whether or not it was appropriate to approach Ryan for this piece primarily on the basis of his race. The jury's still out on that one, but if Ryan was offended in any way by my interview request, he didn't express it. In fact, he was incredibly gracious with his time and the stories he chose to share.
If nothing else, I hope that this interview offers some perspective for the many non-BIPOC surfers who read our site. It certainly did for me.
Stab: Hey Ryan, how are you?
Ryan Harris: Good. LA is nuts right now.
Yeah, man. I've seen it. Looks absolutely crazy.
Riots and looting. I am just shocked. They told us today that small businesses should have a curfew of 4 pm. And they said looters are running around Torrance. That's where my shop's at. Luckily we're a little off the beaten path. I'm not worried about it, but fuck what a year, dude.
I don't know what exactly is the "right" way to approach this, so I'm just going to be honest. We decided to reach out because you are an African American in the surfing community—and specifically in LA—and we wanted to get an understanding of this whole situation from your perspective.
No worries man. I mean, you're right—I've been doing this for almost 20 years, and there's practically nobody in the manufacturing industry that looks like me. I'm one of very few black guys in this space.
I just so happen to be really good friends with Sal Masekela, who has this big platform. Personally, I'm not going to go on social media and a rant and talk about it, because people know me and they know exactly how I feel about it. They know that I've been pulled over a million fucking times with surfboards in my truck. Because I don't "look like" I should have surfboards in my truck. I've been pulled over a lot since I've been in LA. Pulled over a lot when I was in Oregon and lived up there. I have all kinds of previous stories that most people don't have to deal with. And that's—that sucks.
I've got stories from my family history—shit that happened 60 years ago that my dad didn't think I could handle. When I turned 35, he finally told me, and then something similar happened in my lifetime and I'm like, 'Well fuck, we sure made a lot of progress. Not.'
So yeah, it basically just fucking blows, and then the looting on top of it all…it's just like, dude, really, come on people. There's a better way.
What would you recommend?
The Golden Rule, man. Treat people the way you want to be treated. It's that simple. It's really that simple.
Also, don't be mean to cops. Or at least all cops. My sister's a cop, my brother's a cop, and showing compassion can go a long way.
Have you had mostly positive experiences with the police?
Ha, I wouldn't say that. I've never been beaten or anything, but…here's a story.
My really good buddy, a white guy, got me into glassing a long time ago. His dad was the chief of police, and I was driving a new truck that I'd just bought—a chromed-out F-150—to my bartending job. So I'm driving to work one evening and my music is blasting. I've got my bartending outfit on, my name tag, and it's literally a 10-minute drive. I've gone six blocks from my place, and something just told me to look up from my rearview. Of course, there's a cop behind me with his lights on.
He's all, 'Hey, pull over the car. You pull it over, pull it over, pull it over you black mother fucker, pull it over.'
And I got instantly nervous, started more or less freaking out. I was like, 'Fuck, I'm in trouble. I didn't even do anything.'
And dude, this jackass pulled me over and fucking cocked his shotgun and pointed it right through my window at my face. And I was like, 'Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, I'm on my way to work. I don't know what I did. I'll turn the music down. I'm sorry. I'm on my way to work.'
He's all, 'License and registration.'
I was like, 'Okay, I'm reaching for my license and registration.' I'm also praying for my life. Like please don't do anything crazy.
So I gave him my info and he went back to his car. I guess they didn't pull up any warrants, because he came back without the gun. And basically before he could even say, 'You're free to go,' I was like, 'Um, can I ask what this is regarding?'
At this point, he's not yelling anymore. He's like, 'Oh, you fit the description of…a robbery.'
And I was like, 'What was it, a black guy in a truck with a hat?' And he's like, 'Uh, uh…'
He didn't say anything. I'm like, 'Yeah, I'm on my way to work. I bartend at CPKs. It's literally a mile from here. You just saw based on my license where I freaking live. I'm in my residential neighborhood. What do you mean I fit the description? What's that description?'
He wouldn't say shit. I was like, 'Dude, I need your badge number.' And then he started sweating. And I literally got so fucking angry that I was more or less yelling at him. Because he finally realized that he was just being a fucking idiot.
That was like 13 years ago. Shit like this happens all the time.
It's so fucked up.
It's bullshit. And then I told my buddy about this—the one whose dad is the chief of police—and he's like, 'They're profiling. All cops do it. All cops do it. Process of elimination.'
I was like, 'Yeah, does that make it right?' I was scared to fucking death. I thought he was gonna shoot me. And he was more or less justifying it. And this is a buddy of mine!
He only felt that way because he doesn't get the raw end of their profiling.
Exactly! There's another story that happened in Malibu that was even gnarlier. This is back when I was still a backyard shaper—Podunk was my label.
Anyway, a couple of my pros were in Malibu, they lived up in Point Dume. I'm up there doing paint pen artwork on this guy's quiver, and he's having a barbecue and we were throwing them back. I was tipsy. One of them was like, 'Oh yeah, let's go get more beer.'
This is at like nine o'clock at night.
We go to this, whatever, market or gas stations get more beer. We come back, and he takes this little side street down to an empty lot and starts fucking spinning cookies. Just doing donuts like an idiot. And sure enough, there's a fucking squad car down there.
He flips on the lights. Pulls us over. 'What are you doing? Why are you driving like a moron?'
My buddy, the driver, is hammered. I'm in the passenger seat, minding my own business as a male cop and a female cop approach. The female cop comes up to me and asks me for my license. I'm like, 'Why? I didn't do anything. I'm just chilling.'
She's like, 'Um, well have you been drinking?
I was like, 'Yeah, I've been drinking and I'm fucking 27' or whatever the hell is I was. And she was like, 'Well then I need your ID.' So I give her my ID.
And then a long story short, they took us both out of the car put us in the back of a squad car. They give him a sobriety test, which he failed. But because we live literally two minutes away, the officer offers to drive his car up there and let him go.
And meanwhile, I'm going, 'Wait, why am I in the back of a cop car?'
They're like, 'Oh, well you have a warrant.'
I was like, 'What are you talking about? Like for a parking ticket or some, some unpaid something? Because I got a citation but I paid it. And the papers are in my glove box and my truck is at his place.'
And they're like, 'Oh well, you know, we're just going to take you in and it'll get cleared up in the system.'
So my ass got arrested, they refused to let my buddy or anybody get the paperwork from my truck, which would have cleared it up. And they brought me to the county jail for the night, but the clerk was like, 'Oh no, you know, it's after midnight. It should clear up in the morning.'
Dude, I got shipped off to the fucking twin towers in downtown LA where I was stuck for two fucking days before I saw a judge. And there were, like, race riots popping off on the fucking upper floors, which was just absolutely nuts.
Like, dude, I should have sued the shit out of them. But I'm not about that. It's just bullshit.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Yeah. That was, that was legit. I was scared because I was like, dude, this is how people get lost in the system. Just getting lost in fucking jail and rocked for some bullshit. And yeah, it turns out they were completely wrong.
When I finally got a judge, he was like, 'Well, where's the paperwork?
I was like—and I started yelling at court—I was like, 'Dude, they wouldn't let me get it. It's in my truck. I have it.' And it was expired registration. It had expired, but I'd paid it. Shit was in my glove box.
So yeah, that's just stupid examples. But my dad taught me this when I was young. He said that, unfortunately, as a dark-skinned person, you really have got to have all your ducks in a row. You know, everything's gotta be legit. Cross your T's. Dot your I's. And even then, that's not enough sometimes.
What about in surfing itself? Any weird experiences in the water?
Well, nowadays most people around here know me. But before that, when I was new to surfing in LA, I'd often get a look or tone of, 'What are you doing here? Black people don't surf.'
That's not a scary thing. That's just an annoying thing, you know? But it's all part of the same issue.

MANILA, Philippines - Six of the "Morong 43" health workers who were detained for 10 months and released last year filed a P15-million damage suit yesterday against former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and 10 military and police officials before the Quezon City regional trial court.
Doctors Merry Mia Clamor and Alexis Montes, nurse Gary Liberal and community workers Teresa Quinawayan, Reynaldo Macabenta and Mercy Castro are claiming P2.5 million each in moral and exemplary damages for the alleged torture done to them after their arrest on Jan. 16, 2010.
Aside from Arroyo, who is now a Pampanga congresswoman, the other respondents are former defense secretary Norberto Gonzales; former military chief Victor Ibrado; former Army head general Delfin Bangit; Gen. Jorge Segovia, former commanding general of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Philippine Army; Lt. Col. Cristobal Zaragosa, commanding officer of the intelligence unit of the 2nd ID; Maj. Manuel Tabion, warden of the detention center of the 2nd ID; Col. Aurelio Baladad, former commanding officer of the 202nd Infantry Brigade; Lt. Colonel Jaime Abawag, former commanding officer of the 16th Infantry Battalion; Superintendent Marion Balolong, commanding officer of the Rizal Provincial Public Safety Management Company and Superintendent Allan Nubleza, former chief of intelligence branch of the Rizal provincial police office.
The health workers' lawyer, Edre Olalia, said while they will file additional criminal charges in the coming days, the civil suit was to make Arroyo liable for the actions of the military during her term. He said a criminal complaint would involve "personal liability" and cannot go up to the level of the former president.
The health workers accused the respondents of illegal arrest; detaining them for 120 hours before charging them with illegal possession and firearms and explosives; and charging them without giving them the right to be represented by a lawyer; and torturing them while they were in detention.
After the Department of Justice reinvestigated the case, the court dismissed the charges against the health workers.

Up against the Covid-19 pandemic, suppliers, boutiques and other small businesses are receiving aid from some retail partners.
Key takeaways:
The fashion industry's most vulnerable players who are expected to get hit hardest by the Covid-19 pandemic are also leaders in sustainable and ethical practices.
Some brands and retailers are making an effort to support partners most affected, including small wholesale partners and suppliers.
Incentives to lift up other players in retail's ecosystem include protecting brands' own reputations as consumers watch how companies respond to the pandemic.
If the pandemic hits fashion's small and independent businesses hardest, the consequences for the planet could be ugly. Much of the industry's progress towards more sustainable and ethical practices is pioneered by these players; if their survival is threatened by Covid-19, so too are their endeavours to do better.
Retail is an industry reliant on a web of suppliers, brands and wholesale companies. Many brands get off the ground by getting picked up by small, local retailers, and might not exist without them; it's often small brands' commitments to sustainability that push major brands to ramp up their own efforts in a bid to stay relevant; and if factories are struggling to pay their workers because brands are delaying payments, their own sustainability efforts are likely to also get kicked down the road. Vulnerabilities within the ecosystem add up to more than the sum of their parts.
With those and other risks in mind, some companies are stepping up to help those most threatened: apparel brand To The Market and jewellery maker Akola, for example, are going out of their way to keep their suppliers busy, while others have come up with ways to keep cash flowing on the retail side, such as Toad&Co with its new revenue-sharing model to help local retailers. Their hope is they can keep the whole ecosystem, and the interdependent relationships it depends on, functioning.
Last month, Toad&Co launched a programme to share 30 per cent of revenue from new customers' online purchases with independent specialty retailers that sell its clothing; such stores are suffering from closures and economic decline overall. "It allows you to earn, and it grows our revenue as well," says CEO Gordon Seabury of retailers that opt into the programme, which they've been doing at a rate of between 10 and 20 per day.
He sees independent stores as key to his own company's early success and a crucial part of a healthy industry ecosystem. "Without specialty retailers, small brands don't get a chance," he says.

Other brands, including EcoVessel, Rab and Jetty, have followed Toad&Co's lead and established similar programmes of their own. Some haircare brands have similar efforts to help hair salons.
California-based apparel brand Known Supply has started donating customised products to small businesses — so far, a South Dakota retailer and an inclusive dance studio in Tennessee for people of all abilities — which can then sell them as a source of revenue. "If they can't sell the food that they normally sell, if they can't sell the classes that they normally host, it would at least be something that they can sell and have the community support during this time," says CEO Kohl Crecelius. He says the demand is strong, with 400 nominations for small businesses to receive the donations in just the last week. "The stories have been kind of gut wrenching, just to hear, business after business, how deeply they're being impacted."
A number of brands have made it a top priority to keep and pay for existing orders — something that many others are notably not doing, with devastating impacts for local economies and livelihoods of workers.
Jane Mosbacher Morris, founder and CEO of apparel brand To The Market, says her suppliers shouldn't need to feel gratitude upon learning she wasn't going to cancel orders. "I'm just upholding my end of the deal, which was to buy the goods," she says. "I gave them my word that I would buy this product, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal."
She says that rather than cancel or reduce orders, they're creating alternative plans for products. For example, she's pitching her retailer clients, which include Bloomingdale's and Dillard's, on the idea of buying additional items that they can gift to customers as a thank you or an incentive to purchase. Clients are still considering the idea, but Morris says it's generated strong interest — many retailers, seeing increased competition for online sales while sales overall are declining, are thinking about ways to entice customers.
Morris is also talking with suppliers to better understand their needs, which she says is fundamental to a true partnership. They've prepaid for some products, for example, which provides cash flow at a challenging time. "To them it's the difference between paying the workers and not," she says. To The Market plans to host a free webinar for suppliers with advice and resources for navigating the current situation, including opportunities to reassess technologies, product development or maximising support of their own employees.
Morris recognises To The Market, a private company, has more autonomy over financial decisions than publicly traded companies, but her overall message remains the same. "There are creative ways to support everyone in the value chain, and it takes effort to figure out what that looks like given your constraints," she says. "My ability as a CEO to support myself and my team is probably stronger than the garment workers' ability to support herself and her family."
Seabury is having similar conversations with Toad&Co suppliers. He reached out as the situation was starting to unfold, he says, to get everyone on the same page: "I said, 'Here's what we think is going to happen. How much of the fabric that's in production can you slow or stop so that it won't damage you, and how much can you hold and not ship to the factories so they're not on the hook?'"
It was a dialogue, something that many suppliers say has been notably absent. "You try to break down the pain across all the different segments as much as possible. The big guys [should] carry more. And the little guys — you've got to pay them," he says. "You try to all share in the pain as much as you can tolerate."

Other brands and retailers, including handbag label Behno, apparel brand Good Krama, zero-waste company Tonlé and ethical-shopping platform Wearwell, are making similar efforts to keep their buying commitments so that the economic slowdown doesn't disproportionately impact garment workers, often the most vulnerable in the supply chain. "As a small business, this crisis is affecting us financially but we are also hyperaware of how devastating it can be to garment workers around the world," says Good Krama founder Katia Nicolas.
Earlier this week, after public criticism of an industry-wide practice, H&M became the first major retailer to announce it would pay for cancelled orders and others have begun to follow.
Support for the industry's smaller players is brewing from within. Designer Tory Burch is encouraging the US fashion and retail community to lobby the government for inclusion in the federal stimulus package, with a focus on jobs, tariffs and rent relief, and her foundation plans to help entrepreneurs navigate the recently-passed stimulus package for funds they might be eligible for. They're also providing affordable loans to women entrepreneurs, and compiling other resources online, including links to loan programs and relief services for small business owners.
Other brands are shifting operations in hopes of supporting people who depend on a functioning industry for their own livelihoods. Cyan Skincare launched an Instagram series encouraging consumers to waste less and use products they already own; the brand is partnering with currently out-of-work makeup artists and aestheticians to give tutorials for at-home makeovers and self-care routines.
Others are pivoting production to keep supply chains going while recognising that many are not in a shopping mindset. Jewellery brand Akola, which employs nearly 200 women in Uganda, launched a jewellery-making kit quarantined families can use to keep crafty people busy or children entertained, while accessories brand Sh*t That I Knit shifted to making a Quarantine Knitting Kit "as a way to stay present in our community", says communications director Megan Teggart.

Seabury says that if a side effect of Toad&Co's revenue-sharing programme is some goodwill towards the brand, that could ultimately benefit the company in the form of brand loyalty from existing consumers or retailers who tell stories about Toad&Co to their own customers once their stores do return to normal.
Given shifting consumer expectations and demand for more sustainable practices from brands, Morris says it might be smart for companies to think of building goodwill as a requirement.
"I fundamentally believe the millennial and Gen Z consumer is laser-focused on how brands are responding during this time period, and it's an opportunity for CEOs to step up and reflect who they are and what they're about. I think brands that are capable of doing that will be able to reap dividends in the future," says Morris.

Evolution Trivia Quiz
Current score: 0/10 View Scoring Summary
7. Mitchondria doing what they do
Storing genetic information is the function of DNA, most of which is found in the chromosomes of the cell nucleus. Some DNA is also found outside the cell nucleus in the mitochondria, small rod-shaped bodies found in most cells of the body in humans and other animals. What is the main function of mitochondria?
B) To maintain the salinity and moisture content of the cell at optimum levels
C) To provide the chemical energy that powers cellular processes
D) To serve as a genetic back-up when key genes in the nucleus are damaged
Your answer — A) To help seal off toxins and protein fragments that could impair the cell — was incorrect.
Each cell can contain up to two thousand mitochondria depending on its energy needs. A few cell types, like red blood cells, do not contain mitochondria at all. It is believed that mitochondria originated about a billion years ago from one or many occasions on which an independent bacterial cell invaded or was absorbed by a host cell and took up residence there. The quantity of DNA in each mitochondrion is small, amounting in humans to only thirty-seven genes; human nuclear DNA, in contrast is thought to encode about twenty thousand genes. Interestingly, mitochondrial DNA comes from one's mother only, unlike nuclear DNA to which both parents contribute. It has been suggested that the greater longevity of females is due at least in part to this exclusively female control of the mitochondrial genome.

– 1998 Ferrari F550 Maranello
– delivered to Japan, imported into Germany in 2019
– 5.5 litre V12 engine offering 357 kW (485 hp)
– 6-speed open gate manual gearbox
– top speed of 320 km/h
– black exterior and brown leather interior
– original Ferrari radio with CD changer
– runs on 18″ Ferrari alloys
– complete with owner's manual, warranty booklet and tool kit
Aerodynamics were the main focus of this elegant yet aggressive sports car. The Ferrari 550 Maranello coupe was first presented at the Nürburgring in 1996. The two-seater was driven on the track by Michael Schumacher and Eddie Irvine. The Italian manufacturer proved with this model that a car with a V12 front-engine and rear-wheel drive can be at least as fast as one with a middle rear engine layout. Its body with the prominent shark face was designed by Pininfarina. The Ferrarri 550 achieved a drag coefficient of 0.33 due to its flat underbody, adapted headlights and fog lights integrated in the front bumper. The brake system was derived from Formula 1. The sports car with 5.5 litres of displacement and 357 kW (458 PS) was 3.2 s faster per lap on Ferrari's Fiorano test track than its predecessor 512M and reached the top speed of 320 km/h. In 2001, in addition to the coupe version, 448 units of a roadster were produced, the Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina. It featured an emergency soft top only. The same year also saw the end of production of the Maranello, of which only 3,083 units were built.

Manchester United 1-1 Everton
- Goals: Mason Greenwood (£4.3m) | Victor Lindelof (£5.3m) own-goal
- Assists: Daniel James (£6.1m) | Leighton Baines (£4.9m)
- Bonus: Greenwood x3, Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.3m) x2, Jordan Pickford (£5.4m) x1
Manchester United have one of the more appealing fixture runs over the busy festive period, with the Red Devils taking on Watford, Newcastle United, Burnley and a struggling Arsenal side between now and New Year's Day.
Whether that's a good or bad thing from a Fantasy perspective is up for debate.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's troops have more than held their own against the 'bigger' clubs this season, defeating Manchester City, Chelsea, Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur and being the only club to take points off runaway leaders Liverpool.
Against the 'also-rans' of the Premier League, United have won just twice.
In between those big-name scalps, there have been miserable defeats to Crystal Palace, Newcastle, Bournemouth and West Ham United, as well as unconvincing draws with Southampton, Aston Villa and Sheffield United.
Sunday's one-all draw with Everton was the latest in a long line of unremarkable displays against clubs outside the current top five, with the repeated criticism of Solskjaer being that he doesn't have a Plan B to break down stubborn sides with a defence-first mindset.
United are unquestionably at their best in counter-attacking situations and even their two wins against bottom-half sides came against teams (Brighton and Norwich) who opened up and played into the Red Devils' hands.
Facing a re-energised and well-organised Everton outfit at Old Trafford, there were familiar failings.
Anthony Martial (£7.7m) was either too static or too deep up front, with his lack of movement mirrored by some surly body language.
When United's attackers aren't provided space with which to exploit their lightning-quick pace, they are blunted.
Daniel James (£6.1m) was given little room to operate by Leighton Baines (£4.9m) down the right, while Jesse Lingard (£6.3m), so impressive in the Manchester derby, is perhaps not the man for the number ten role when space is at a premium.
Everton even handled the in-form Marcus Rashford (£9.0m) relatively well, with the United forward blanking for the first time at Old Trafford since Gameweek 3.
The good thing about Rashford from an owner's perspective is that, even on an off-day for himself and United, he looks the likeliest player to make things happen.
There was the usual mix of driving runs and ambitious shots, with the England international firing wide from inside the box early on and testing a nervy-looking Jordan Pickford (£5.4m) with two of his trademark dipping free-kicks.
A wild, 50th-minute effort that disappeared in the direction of the nearby cricket ground perhaps summed up his day but there would have been little to concern Rashford's owners from an individual performance perspective, as he continues to carry much of United's goal threat from the left flank.
The same can't be said for Martial, who has assumed Rashford's former 'false nine' role.
The Frenchman managed only one shot all game and, when bothering to move, was acting more as a link-up player than goal-getting striker.
Martial's owners will likely have other fires to put out in Blank Gameweek 18 and perhaps over Christmas but, if it is a straight choice between the France international and Rashford, the latter unquestionably poses the bigger threat at present.
Martial could even have a challenger for his role, with substitute Mason Greenwood (£4.3m) coming off the bench to rescue a point for the hosts.
The teenage striker crept a low shot past Pickford from a James pass to spare Solskjaer's blushes, with the United boss saying after full-time:
Mason Greenwood is different class in and around the box. You're not surprised when he scores goals. It's fitting that it should be an Academy player that scores in the 4,000th match [in a row in which Utd have fielded a youth product] and it makes it hard for me to leave him out.
At the other end, this was the 12th league match in a row without a clean sheet for the Red Devils.
While Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.3m) impressed defensively and evoked memories of 2018/19 by picking up two bonus points despite not registering a clean sheet or attacking return, the two centre-halves were again unconvincing and failed to inspire too much confidence ahead of United's next three appealing fixtures.
Everton's deadlock-breaking strike indeed came courtesy of Victor Lindelof (£5.3m), who inadvertently bundled the ball into his own goal after David de Gea (£5.5m) had been robustly challenged from a corner.
Reflecting on that goal and the game overall, Solskjaer said:
I'm disappointed in that one by the referee. I think it's a foul, especially in this day and age. Maybe in the eighties, it would have counted. He's got his elbow, his hand over David's shoulder, and an elbow in the face, so it's a foul.
We dominated the game, we put pressure on them. We couldn't really create the openings we wanted to after they scored. Before they scored, we had two or three decent opportunities to take the lead and that was the big difference.
When you have 20-odd shots and the pressure mounts, you expect us to score. Sometimes it's quality, sometimes it's luck. Yes, today they got the goal and had something to hang on to. The first half against Tottenham was similar to the first half against Everton in the way they defended against us.
While Freddie Ljungberg has had limited impact at Arsenal, Duncan Ferguson has roused Everton in the last two Gameweeks.
The uncertainty over who gets the job permanently at Goodison Park might be enough to put Fantasy managers off for the time being but the Toffees are just about over their recent tricky fixture run and have some appealing matches ahead.
Certainly, the visit of Arsenal on Saturday ought to hold little fear.
Hampered by injury and illness, Ferguson stuck to his guns with a 4-4-2 and deployed Mason Holgate (£4.4m) 'out of position' in central midfield.
The FPL defender duly responded with an excellent performance, even testing de Gea twice in the early stages (although one, admittedly, was an overhit cross).
Ferguson lost Djibril Sidibe (£5.4m) and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.4m) to illness ahead of kick-off, while Lucas Digne (£5.7m) limped off with a recurrence of his groin problem with just 25 minutes gone.
Baines and the fit-again Seamus Coleman (£5.3m) barely put a foot wrong on their first-team returns, however, with the Everton backline in general looking solid and not allowing their hosts a single big chance after Lingard's early turn and shot in the first minute.
The two-man attack of Richarlison (£7.8m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.7m) continues to impress, meanwhile.
Neither delivered attacking returns on Sunday but both were a handful for United's defence, with Calvert-Lewin indeed the one who impeded de Gea for Everton's opener.
Both he and the 'out of position' Richarlison were on the scoresheet in Gameweek 16 and, should Ferguson still be in charge by the time Ljungberg's troops visit Merseyside, the current Everton strike pair look like appealing short-term punts.
Ferguson said of his front two:
Richarlison always runs himself into the ground. We have a fantastic striker [Dominic Calvert-Lewin] who will chase everything, centre-backs getting in blocks and headers.
Reflecting on the game overall, the interim Everton boss said:
I think the 4-4-2 causes other team problems, you can get pressure on the ball and it worked really, really well.
Everyone was dropping like flies, we had a lot of sickness, but I like a 4-4-2 and thought Mason would do a good job in midfield and was proven correct. I thought he was tremendous, they all were.
We were fighting fires everywhere and Leighton was incredible. He will savour these moments when he retires.
They are fighting for us, fighting for the Club and fighting for myself and I could not be prouder of them. The boys were tremendous, they were warriors out there.
This shows we can compete against the best teams in the league if we put in the work, which we are. We have the quality and good players, they keep a good shape and defend well.
As the teamsheet below shows, Ferguson substituted a substitute in the dying stages: Moise Kean (£6.4m) being hauled off less than 20 minutes after his introduction, with the temporary Everton head coach explaining that he was merely looking to "kill a bit of time".
Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Fred; James (Mata 85′), Lingard (Greenwood 64′), Rashford; Martial.
Everton (4-4-2): Pickford; Coleman, Keane, Mina, Digne (Baines 24′); Iwobi, Davies, Holgate, Bernard (Kean 70′ (Niasse 88′)); Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

The Hunt for Med October: US Navy searching for Russian 'carrier killer' submarines feared to have been sent after NATO warships in the Mediterranean
- NATO planes and ships are said to be on the look out for Russian submarines
- One or two subs are believed to be operating near a French aircraft carrier
- Incident has echoes of the Cold War book and film The Hunt For Red October
NATO forces in the eastern Mediterranean are reportedly hunting for Russian submarines which are capable of sinking aircraft carriers.
US Navy P-8 Poseidon jets, operating from a base at Sigonella, Sicily, are said to be looking for one or two Russian Navy submarines operating underneath a NATO flotilla not far from the coast of Syria.
The Aviationist said the Russian submarines were believed to be Oscar II class vessels, which are known as 'carrier killers'.
The Oscar II class submarine (pictured) is the largest attack subs ever built and was designed to target aircraft carriers STOCK PHOTO
The Oscar II class, which weigh 18,000 tonnes and have a crew of around 100, are the largest submarines ever built.
The Kursk, which sank in the Arctic Circle in 2000 with the loss of 118 lives, was an Oscar II class sub.
The Russians subs are thought to be in the vicinity of France's flagship aircraft carrier, the Charles De Gaulle.
A US Navy Poseidon P-8 jet (pictured) is searching for the subs in eastern Mediterranean now
The USS Eisenhower is also said to be in the region.
Today's incident comes amid increasing tension between Russia and NATO, as an increasingly belligerent President Putin seeks to throw his weight around in Europe and the Middle East.
He is thought to be taking advantage of the United States having a 'lame duck' president.
The President-elect, Donald Trump, was complimentary towards Putin during the election campaign and is expected to seek to improve relations after his inauguration next month.
Trump is expected to make major shifts in State Department policy over Syria and also possibly regarding Ukraine, Crimea and Eastern Europe.
The Oscar II class subs were designed in 1975 and built up until 1996. Four years later one of them, the Kursk, sank in the Arctic Circle STOCK PHOTO
The Russian submarines are reported to be prowling around close to the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle (pictured), which is now in the eastern Mediterranean
Last month the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov arrived in the eastern Mediterranean as part of a flotilla designed to support the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his efforts to defeat rebel groups in Aleppo.
Today's cat-and-mouse chase involving American and Russian ships and submarines has echoes of The Hunt for Red October, the Tom Clancy book which was later turned into a film starring Sean Connery as renegade Soviet submarine commander Marko Ramius.
The Oscar II class submarines, which were built between 1975 and 1996, were originally designed for the Soviet Navy and were supposed to take out US and other NATO aircraft carriers in the event that the Cold War became a hot war.
Oscar II submarines are equipped with SS-N-19 'Shipwreck' missiles which are capable of taking out a ship the size of a carrier.
Earlier this year Russia started the process of replacing the Shipwreck missiles with SS-N-26 'Strobile' or SS-N-27 'Sizzler' missiles.
An American P-8 jet has been flying over the eastern Mediterranean today trying to locate the subs, which are in the area of a NATO battlegroup
Although carriers like the Charles de Gaulle have plenty of planes to defend them, they remain vulnerable to submarine attack.
The commander of the Russian sub or subs in the Mediterranean will be using today as an exercise to test out his crew and how well they can avoid detection from the 'enemy'.
Although Russia and NATO are not at war, the sub's commander will consider it a success if he is able to slip away undetected.
The NATO battlegroup commander will want to be able to give the sub the impression that he has been detected and, in the event of a war situation, would have been destroyed.
The Oscar II class are inferior to the Akula II class, which are said to be virtually undetectable.
In the film The Hunt For Red October, Sean Connery (pictured) played a Soviet submarine commander playing a game of cat-and-mouse with the US Navy during the Cold War
Earlier this week a Syrian Twitter user and Assad supporter, living in the port of Tartus, took this photograph of the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov less than a mile off the coast. He tweeted: 'I can see the full flotilla best day in my life'

This article starts by saying we should have been thankful this Earth Day (April 22) because the "gloom-and-doom predictions made throughout the past several decades haven't come true." For example, in the 1970s the concern was global cooling, then it switched to global warming, and now it's just climate change. This is because what you believe about climate change is based on your worldview and what you believe about the past.
The article gives one reason why many of the gloomy environmentalist predictions haven't come true:
The issue, however, is that present trends do not continue. They change dramatically for a number of reasons. Innovation happens. Consumer behavior changes.
Here's another reason—one that we can take to the bank because it comes from God's infallible Word:
While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease. (Genesis 8:22)
we should care for creation and rationally address real environmental concerns, but let's not get swept away in "doom-and-gloom" predictions
Now, this doesn't mean we can do whatever we want to the earth. We need to be good stewards of what God has created and care for our planet. Christians should be leading the way in environmental care because we understand the dominion mandate (Genesis 1:28). But we should always do so recognizing ultimately God, not us, is in control and humans are of infinitely more value than the rest of creation because we are made in God's image (Genesis 1:27) and have eternal souls.
Absolutely, we should care for creation and rationally address real environmental concerns, but let's not get swept away in "doom-and-gloom" predictions. Let's responsibly use the creation for man's good and God's glory.

I am Sikelelwa Qutu, a 24 year old final year Bachelor of Technology( Civil Engineering) student at the Central University of Technology.
I developed a passion for Civil Engineering when I was in grade 11 so it ia a career I went into with love. I am passionate about the upliftment of communities throughout infrastructure development. My focus is on people and I work diligently to see the fruits of my endeavours making a positive difference in society. Adequate service delivery is something close to my heart.
I have previously served as the Vice Chairperson of the South African Institute of Civil Engineering Student Chapter .In 2015 and 2016,I received awards for the Best Transportation Engineering Student and Best Documentation Project.
In 2017,I graduated for a National Diploma in Civil Engineering but in my field,without a degree ,you cannot receive fair opportunities and with advancement in technology,job opportunities for people with just a diploma are decreasing.
In 2017,I started my BTech studies but my contract for the firm I worked for was not renewed as the company had financial problems so I could not complete my studies.This is the same company that funded my diploma.
My parents cater for 3 of my siblings making it virtually impossible for them to support me for accommodation and school fees.
This year(2019), I decided to go back to school with the money I make on a Network Marketing business but at the moment,it's only enough to cover my rent and groceries.
In total,I require R23 000 for school fees. R9200 is due by the end of this semester(30 June 2019).
I kindly ask for you to please help me achieve my goal.
The funds raised will be transferred to the Central University of Technology.

The 1963 school journey was a cruise aboard the M.S. Devonia. Kathy Till née
Diver wrote a log during the voyage.
Early in
the morning at 1030 we had to pass through customs, as we had boarded the ship a night
earlier. We had to disembark again to get ashore with the others who arrived at 10 o'clock.
At 1230 we left Grange Dock. We went under the new footbridge and then proceeded under
the Forth Bridge and into the North Sea out of the Firth of Forth river. On board we
were the only school from London and the rest came from Scotland and one school was from
In the afternoon we carried out a life boat drill at our muster stations. At 1700 we
passed Bass Rock bird sanctuary.
When we woke up the sky was heavy and cloudy, the clouds cleared but the weather was
still dismal. At noon we came across a mist. It cleared up but now and again it came
back. In the evening the weather was much better and we had a clear view of the sea.
The morning was heavy and cold and we wanted to stay in bed. We were eleven miles away
from any land. At noon the mist appeared and it became very thick. Soon after we had
a lifeboat drill at our muster stations.
In the afternoon we had a lecture in the lecture hall about the ship. In the evening
it was still misty. The fog siren sounded frequently.
We travelled past the south east coast of the Isle of Wight about 40 miles away from
it. Further down and out into the English Channel we passed the Isle of Sark. Later we
passed Jersey and Guernsey.
At 1450 land was sighted off the port side of the ship. It was the coast of France.
As we rounded the Cap de la Haig we could see that on the coast line there was a small
settlement with a church tower peering above. There was a lighthouse just off the coast.
During the night we rounded Ushant and entered the Bay of Biscay. It was a little cloudy
this morning and the sea was not exactly calm. The weather during the day, though, turned
out sunny.
We saw an old tramp ship letting off steam.
We saw the coast of Spain on the port side. There were many Spanish ships off the coast.
At 1145 we docked in Vigo. There were only a few clouds in the sky, otherwise the weather
was very hot.
In Vigo we went shopping, a girl of about 15 showed us around to tell us the best
shopping places. We spent all afternoon shopping and found in the end that we didn't
have time to sunbathe or go swimming. We arrived back on board ship at 1800 hours roughly.
In the evening we saw the Spanish dancers on the quayside. One of our girls was given
a Spanish hat by one of the Spanish boys. The dancing was very good, especially the two
young children. At about 2300 hours we left port bound for Casablanca in North Africa.
Today we passed along the coast of Portugal. The weather was getting very hot and everyone
was sunbathing. At about 1500 we passed a white ship. It was too far away to see the
name on it.
In the evening there was a funfair. We had to put the clocks back one hour. At 2330
we passed Cape St. Vincent.
The weather is getting much hotter. In the dormitories it was hotter than usual and
we all noticed the difference. There wasn't a cloud to be seen in the sky at 1100, and
the sea changed from a greeny colour to blue.
At 1650 we docked in Casablanca.
In Casablanca. I expected to see a camel but I never saw one. We toured around in coaches
in the morning. We first saw a church with wonderfully stained glass windows. Then we
saw the Moroccan law courts and all the people who were being tried. We then went to
Miami Beach which we all enjoyed.
In the afternoon we went shopping, or should I say bargaining. We left Casablanca at
1700 and set course for Cape St. Vincent.
Today the weather was not too bad. At 1100 some of us visited the bridge, as we passed
Cape St. Vincent. We saw how the boat is steered. At 2030 we moored in Lisbon.
In the morning we went shopping to the centre of Lisbon. We also had a look around
the centre of the town. There we saw the Praca dos Restauradores. In the afternoon the
weather was very hot. We went on a coach tour and saw the Prince Henry the Navigator
monument. It was inaugurated in 1960 and erected to commemorate the fifth centenary of
the death of Prince Henry. On the land side of the Prince Henry Museum is a compass rose
of sintra marble inset in the ground and presented to Portugal by the Union of South
Africa to commemorate the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope in 1487.
We then stopped at Belem Tower. It was constructed in 1515 (or 1575??????) by the architect
Francisco de Arruda on the spot from which Vasco de Gama left on his voyage of discovery
of India (1498). We also went to a large university. It was massive. The chairs inside
(some of them) were made of grey suede. The university has just been erected.
We left left Lisbon at 1800 and passed Cape Roca at 2040.
When we woke up the weather was rainy and very cloudy. The sea was a horrid browny
colour. Didn't do much today. Except that we had a tug of war tournament. We lost but
with all the strong Scottish girls we couldn't have done much different. In the evening
we had a brains trust which was supported by all of our school.
At 0900 we passed two Royal Navy anti-submarine frigates. One of these was flying a
flag signal which means that submarines are exercising in the vicinity.
In the evening we had a fancy dress dance. I didn't dress up, just went with Pat. Most
of the time I was dancing with Karl.
We passed Guernsey at 0600. Today we finished our essays and handed them in. Then we
finished our logbooks. The weather now improved, and was sunny and fairly warm. In the
evening we are going to a dance and I hope that we will enjoy our last few days aboard
the MS Devonia - the ship which has taken us to many interesting places.
(DAY FOURTEEN - no entry)
Home at last. We arrived at Grangemouth. Most of the girls were crying. I said to Karl
I wouldn't but I did in the end, I still don't know why. I wished I was back on board.
Journey home was a laugh.
A second account of this voyage appeared in the Summer 1964 School Magazine. It's
in the Archive section of this site, but is repeated here. Well, we try to be helpful!...
We sailed, on the 3rd August, 1963 in M.S. Devonia, from Grangemouth, Scotland. Bound
for: Vigo (Spain), Casablanca (N. Africa) and Lisbon (Portugal). We arrived back on the
Rain greeted us when we arrived at Grangemouth after ten hours travelling up from London.
We staggered towards the coaches clutching our cases, and finally set off for M.S. Devonia.
Once on board a meal was consumed and we all bedded down for the night. In the morning
we passed through customs, then watched all the Scottish people coming on board. At 12.30
we sailed for Vigo.
To get to our first port of call we had to pass through the Bay of Biscay. I don't
know why, but most people suffered a decline in their health at that time. Spirits brightened,
however, when we arrived at Vigo. From behind the bunker fuel pit, the buildings of Vigo
rose up to the sky. We spent a few happy hours there, wandering around the town and bathing
on Samil Beach. Before leaving, we watched Spanish dancers who performed on the quay.
Then amid cheers and friendly waving we left our berth at Vigo and continued on our journey.
Next stop Casablanca, city of the sun.
Our arrival at Casablanca was greeted by officials, Moslem people, European people
and street traders. What struck me most was the fact that the land is so flat and everything
looks pale brown and bright. Because we had arrived in the afternoon, there was time
for a walk into town before the evening meal. The shops were rather different from what
we were used to, and the shopkeepers more so. They seemed so willing for us to enter
their shops that on some occasions we were literally dragged inside them. We felt more
at home when it was found that Pepsi Colas were sold in the bars. We also found these
drinks in Vigo but not in Lisbon.
Anyhow, in the morning we went for a tour of Casablanca, our guide was nicknamed Peewee.
The first stop was at the Palace, then we went to the Law Courts. After driving around
the European quarter and the Medina, we were taken to Miami Beach, where we bathed and
drank Pepsi Colas. The drive back to the ship took twenty minutes. The only disappointment
we had was that no camels were seen on the whole trip, no real ones anyway.
In a very short time we were allowed ashore again and we were spending our money. It
wasn't very difficult. Much bargaining was done to get prices to the right level and
in the end almost everyone was satisfied and had enjoyed it all tremendously. There were
a few of course who proclaimed that they had been well and truly done!
On arriving back at the ship we waved away the street traders and climbed up the gangplank
very tired from our excursions. That night we would have slept well had it not been for
the heat.
We travelled onward, along the Portuguese coast until arrival at Lisbon. This is a
very clean looking place, so very different from Casablanca. The ship berthed in the
evening so we dormitory passengers could not go ashore.
In the morning phase 2 gallantly set out in search for the town centre. An hour later
we were still looking for it! With determination we plodded on and managed somehow to
spend our money on presents and ice-cream. Then we split up into groups of four and called
taxis. Arriving in perfect style we waited for the last group. At last they arrived,
and explained that the taxi driver had started to take them to the airport. Luckily one
of them had a piece of paper and a pencil so he drew for the driver a picture of the
ship. He understood eventually and changed direction.
Coaches took us in the afternoon for a tour of Lisbon. We visited Prince Henry The
Navigator's Monument, a castle, many squares, the university and the sports stadium.
Arriving back at the pier where M.S. Devonia was berthed, there was time for last minute
shopping. At 6 o'clock or as now we are used to calling it, 1800 hrs., we set sail, homeward
Now that the cruise is nearly over I am looking forward to my own wonderful bed and
such luxuries as plates to eat food from. We have enjoyed ourselves and seen many beautiful
sights, but as the old saying goes There's No Place Like Home! And that's where I want
to be.
