Formula 1 and Hanoi announced on November 7 that a Grand Prix will be held in the capital from April 2020.
As the first new race to be announced under the ownership of Liberty Media, the Vietnamese Grand Prix represents Formula 1's firm commitment to the Asia region, where races are already well established in Singapore, China, and Japan.
It also forms part of Formula 1's long-term strategy to broaden the appeal of the sport and to reach new audiences around the globe.
The Hanoi race promoter, Vingroup, has signed a multi-year deal to host the Grand Prix, which will begin as a thrilling street race in the heart of the city.
"Since we became involved in this sport in 2017, we have talked about developing new destination cities to broaden the appeal of Formula 1, and the Vietnamese Grand Prix is a realization of that ambition," said Mr. Chase Carey, Chairman and Chief Executive of Formula 1. "We are thrilled to be here in Hanoi, one of the most exciting cities in the world right now, with such a rich history and an incredible future ahead of it. This is the perfect formula for Grand Prix racing and I look forward to this becoming a real highlight of the F1 calendar."
He added that Formula 1's Motorsport team, working in collaboration with Hanoi and Vingroup, has worked to enable a circuit that will not only test drivers but also ensure that fans enjoy the racing spectacle. "We are really looking forward to seeing Formula 1 cars speeding around the streets of this fantastic city from 2020," he said.
Working in close collaboration with Hanoi authorities, Vingroup, and Formula 1's Motorsport team, the 5.565km track will deliver an exciting racing experience for drivers as well as fans.
To celebrate the launch of the race, Mr. Carey joined Hanoi leaders and Vingroup as part of a grand ceremony on November 7 at Hanoi Citadel, one of the city's most iconic landmarks.
Fans also have the unique opportunity to win the very first two tickets to Hanoi's inaugural Grand Prix in 2020.
"We are excited to see that our work with Formula 1 to secure this deal has finally come to fruition," said Mr. Nguyen Viet Quang, Vice Chairman and CEO of Vingroup. "An essential part of this collaboration has been making sure that we not only showcase the city of Hanoi but also deliver an exciting race for Formula 1 fans in Vietnam and around the world."

Stranger at the lake
Mexcatli skipped another rock through the lake as Lady Lucy watched him, she saw the rock make about 20 skips before vanishing in the depths. It seemed like they had been waiting for Foxx and Janus to come back for days, even though they probably waited at most a couple of hours. Ever since Rosen, Janus and Foxx would go on ahead of Mexcatli and Lady Lucy when they were about to enter another area, they were at the tail end of the Lake of the Serol field and they were about the enter the Valleys of Sraes just before getting into the mountains of Sraes. Mexcatli knew what was beyond the mountains of Sraes: the northern city of Nokingard.
"What's there to see in Nokingard I've never been there," Lady Lucy asked to pass the time.
"Not much, it's much smaller than Asgard in terms of population but it's one of the major trading districts of the planet from what my father told me." Mexcatli said he almost hesitated and said Odin. After what Janus had said a few nights passed he was really starting to question whether he was indeed Odin's son. "I went there myself a few times on official business with the Nokingard Viceroy, who is a good friend of my father."
Mexcatli remembered the old Viceroy his name was simply known as Tiger. Mexcatli was unsure if that was his actual name or a name that he took on as a nickname. Mexcatli however had seen Tiger enough times to conclude that most probably the name was a nickname that stemmed from the man's uncanny strength and speed.
"Can I ask you something that may sound odd," Mexcatli said as he skipped another stone.
"Sure," Lady Lucy said after she saw the rock sunk in the water. He doesn't realize that he is keeping afloat, he can manipulate water too…perhaps he is part of the prophecy. Lady Lucy thought, this was due to the fact she was noticing the rocks were staying afloat way too long sometimes lasting 50 to 100 skips before falling. Sometimes only lasting 20, it seemed to her that he did not have very good control over it just yet but the fact that he was doing it meant something to Lucy; that Mexcatli could wield more than just lightning.
Water was the complimentary element of lightning and happened to be Lady Lucy's specialty. She was a mistress of water as she was known. She even knew how to manipulate her body, so it could survive underwater. We complement each other so much…It's amazing it's almost as if we were meant to be.
"Where are you from?" Mexcatli asked. Lady Lucy skipped a step and nearly fell when she had been walking a second ago it clearly threw her. Mexcatli noted her reaction to the question Its almost the same way that Janus reacted. He observed.
"I am from Villajengard," Lady Lucy said part of that sounded truthful but there was a way that she said the name that made Mexcatli think it was something different. She had hesitated to say the name of the country. In fact, it was almost as if she was going to call it something else but caught herself at the last moment in hopes that no one would notice, but Mexcatli noticed that slight hesitancy.
"Is Janus from there as well?" Mexcatli said.
"He was born and raised there," Lady Lucy said that sounded a lot more truthful. Maybe Janus was born and raised in the area known as Villajengard now but if he knew Wrath that meant that Janus was over a million years old and if that was the case then it was perhaps named something else before. Mexcatli knew Villajengard was named something else before the times of Caledfwich from history lessons he had in the Royal Army but what this was called he was unsure what was the name before.
"At the risk of sounding odd, I am going to ask you something else." Mexcatli said.
"Which is?" Lady Lucy asked.
"Who are you really?" Mexcatli said. Lady Lucy turned red when he asked her this, she looked uncomfortable and then stared at the sand beneath her feet. "I don't like putting you on the spot, but your friend Janus is the outpoint of Asgard, he doesn't fit in to it and to top it enough he just about confessed that he was over a million years old. And he supposedly has taken care of you since you were a little girl don't tell me that you are over a million years old too."
"Where I come from…." Lucy started she fidgeted with her dress and looked up solemnly at Mexcatli. "I am the equivalent of being around your age, actually a bit younger than you."
"That doesn't answer me," Mexcatli said sighing.
"Mexcatli…. I wish I could explain to you a lot of things." Lady Lucy said. "But doing that right now won't do anything." Including the fact that I really care about you and care about you more as time progresses. You are such a beautiful guy, Mexcatli. What I know is for me to know solely it is my father's orders.
"I am going to have to trust you then," Mexcatli said his eyes sparkling this flash of lightning. When this occurred Mexcatli stared at the lake in front of them. Lady Lucy knew he had sensed something, but she could not say how or why he was able to sense something the way that he was able to. Mexcatli suddenly ran to a nearby tree and scaled it with such ease. He was on top of one of the branches that was closest to the ground and he looked out into the lake as if he was looking for something. "There is something off suddenly about this lake.
"What do you mean?" Lady Lucy asked.
Mexcatli looked out at the water he knew that there was something in it something that was making him feel a bit uneasy, it was to say the least of how he felt at that moment. There was something sinister brewing in the waters and he was trying to wrap himself around what it was exactly.
"Are there bad guys who control elements like I do?" Mexcatli asked.
"Bad Guys?" Lady Lucy laughed at how Mexcatli described them. "Yes, but it's usually because they have some sort of item of some sort that allows them to wield that element."
"Is water one of them?" Mexcatli asked.
"There is one of those," Lady Lucy said she sounded a bit skeptical. Truth be told she didn't know how many weapons existed which had this ability. It was something that she only had some vague knowledge on. From the data that she knew, she knew that items existed that the original 26 members of the Universal Medical Society or UMS which then became known as the Galactic Confederacy, had created over the span of the time that the Sun Eater was setting off to dispose of them all. But at what point did they start making them she wasn't sure. There also had been rumors around that there were pirated weapons created by other beings when they had tried to steal the weapons and had failed. Just how many pirated weapons existed she was unsure. And there could also be the possibility that there were in fact "Bad guys" who had abilities to control the elements.
The sun eater himself got his name from the ability to absorb the power of the sun and use it on anything he deemed fit. There were others, Lady Lucy was sure. Greed himself was thought to have this uncanny ability to bribe anybody that he had ever encountered. This was why he was called Greed.
"Well whatever is in the water it doesn't feel good." Mexcatli said. What the bloody hell is in the water? Mexcatli thought as he looked at the lake. Mexcatli saw the water ripple suddenly. He grabbed onto the hilt of his sword until he saw that it was nothing more than a lake dolphin that had come up for air. Now I am starting to be jumpy. Mexcatli however saw something clear across the lake on the other side. It was an old man with a white beard. He looked as old as the Bard Toniuth he had a sword on his back. The man clearly saw Mexcatli from what Mexcatli could tell, even behind the darkened glasses he was wearing Mexcatli could sense that the man was looking at him. But why? Mexcatli was unsure.
"Curious I never met a female that can speak with dolphins." A low voice hummed in Lady Lucy's mind she nearly jumped but seeing how uneasy Mexcatli was crouched above a tree like a hawk or eagle looking down at his pray she did not really react.
"Who are you?" Lady Lucy asked the voice in her mind
"Look across the river, young lady." the voice responded. Lady Lucy did so and saw the old man which Mexcatli had been looking at too. "My name is Alpheus Chalchiltli the dolphins call me the god of this lake. That boy is different than any being I have seen in a very long time who is he?"
"His name is Mexcatli," Lady Lucy said.
"Bringer of Lightning, curious name for a boy." the man said.
"Alpheus!" Janus said suddenly said standing next to Lady Lucy which made Lady Lucy almost jump.
"You know the guy?" Mexcatli said.
"Yes, he is.... well my uncle." Janus said. Mexcatli jumped off the tree and landed next to Janus.
"What do you mean he is your uncle?" Mexcatli said.
"Obviously it would be your mother's brother," Foxx said to Janus as he appeared. The way that he said that made it seem like they were discussing pie over tea or something like that. Mexcatli looked at both men one at a time and then he simply shrugged. He was tired of trying to understand half the things he didn't understand about them.
"Uncle?" Lady Lucy said he looked back at the man. The man suddenly glided across the river. It was no other way to describe it he simply was gliding across the river. Within moments he appeared next to them. The man immediately glided towards Mexcatli and acted as if he was studying him.
"Curious I have not seen a new Carrion male in countless centuries." Alpheus said looking up and down. The man studied Mexcatli's hands and height, to Mexcatli's dismay the man was shorter than him, it was only maybe by a hand or less, but he was none-the-less short. Mexcatli sighed when he realized it was yet another person who was shorter than he but then he realized what he said
"Carrion?" Mexcatli asked stunned. "You mean the bird people?"
"I would highly call us 'bird people'." Alpheus said. "You are a bit tall even for a Carrion male, probably the tallest I have ever seen."
"Yes, yes I am the tallest man on the planet it seems." Mexcatli said sighing. "I am not a Carrion, I am an Asgardian."
"Yes, you have Asgardian blood in you alright," Alpheus said. "But your eyes make you of Carrion blood second generation only one third Asgardian you my friend are more Carrion than you are Asgardian. Your eyes alone tell me that you are the descendant of the late Queen Aca Pinotochette and Gustav On Heim which makes you the son of Ronja On Heim."
"Ronja On Heim?" Mexcatli said and he looked at Lady Lucy when he said that. Lady Lucy had asked him of that name before. Some days ago, perhaps weeks ago she had asked him if he knew that name. He had never heard of that name in his entire life, however. "I never heard of that name before."
"Hmm...that idiot of Odin, he does not keep his promise once given." Alpheus said. "You have a curious party Prince, what brings you two here." Alpheus didn't look at Janus or Lady Lucy but they both reacted as if he did. Although maybe through the thick darkened glasses he had looked at them.
"I think the better question would be why you are here Alpheus," Janus said.
"I remained here after your last visit to this planet Janus," Alpheus said. "Someone had to make sure that Odin did not destroy this planet before the boy grew of age. Leave it up to me to ignore the fact that maybe the boy had grown up to adulthood in my secludedness of this forest."
"What do you mean you stayed to make sure my father didn't blow things up?" Mexcatli said.
"Well my Lord...." Alpheus started he looked at the others and they all seemed to be worried of what he may say. "I can't really disclose that to you. One thing I feel I can disclose to you however is the fact that you and your party should not go beyond here without a bit of training especially the girl."
"What does Lady Lucy have anything to do with it?" Mexcatli asked.
"Well if the dolphins are right about her, she is the first female of another species that can communicate with water and the dolphins in a very long time." Alpheus said. "Since my sister was here. And you Prince, I am afraid I can't let you pass until you know a bit about what you are really getting yourself into because I am almost positive that my counterparts have not filled you in on everything. Because they are waiting for the right moment."
"We aren't waiting for the right moment Alpheus." Janus said.
"Then you are leading him blindly?" Alpheus asked. "I doubt that the Admiral would have allowed you to do that in that manner. So where do I begin?"

Italy: a long road to the inevitable
The process to save the world's oldest bank, Monte dei Paschi di Siena, has dragged on long enough to feel like it may have been, appropriately perhaps, the world's longest winded bank rescue. For such an investment of time and manpower, the fact that the final resolution is a large bill for the Italian taxpayer is disappointing.
European ABS pricing divorces from grim macro reality

Jessy McCabe, 17, noticed that Edexcel's A-level music syllabus featured 63 male composers and no female ones. She contacted Edexcel to make it aware of the situation, but despite the board's insistence that the music course aims to let students "engage in and extend the appreciation of the diverse and dynamic heritage of music", its head of music seemed reluctant to implement any changes. In response to an email from Jessy, the head of music wrote: "Given that female composers were not prominent in the western classical tradition (or others for that matter), there would be very few female composers that could be included."
Read the full story here
As I write this, Bjork is on the radio as one of BBC Radio 3's Composers of the Week.
I'm not a big fan of "tokenism", which in this case would involve including female composers because they were female rather than because they were good/influential. Fortunately there are lots of female composers worthy of discussion, partly on their own merits. Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn (listen above), Hildegard of Bingen, Judith Weir, Sally Beamish and Ethel Smyth spring to mind. (The last three are British – Judith Weir is currently Master of the Queen's Music).
Comparatively speaking there aren't many women composers – and that's not because women can't compose, but because of a range of social factors. One of the factors is the lack of evidence of women composers which, as Jessy McCabe points out in her campaign, means a lack of inspiration and role models for her and her peers. This in turn contributes to the ongoing lack of role models. The only way out of that is to include more women as examples of composers. If that meant including substandard composers, that would be tokenism. But the examples I've listed are not substandard.
But thinking about it further, it wouldn't matter if they weren't good/influential: often their treatment warrants discussion of the role of women in composition. Gustav Mahler famously banned his wife, Alma, from continuing with composition as a condition of their marriage. Great composer, rubbish husband.

[Roughly 15 Fresh] 048 - Pickled
Archive: 2 posts
2017-10-19 23:01:12 / Author: waffleking23
Heyos! Got another set hot and ready to go here.
This week we're taking a look at:
Zikkurat - Undomiel_
Doors: A Tribute "2" - Sackboy_power754
Project Ninja ???? 2 - Esuki
Cheetah's Revenge - Mr_Scheissbatzn
The Darkness - ryomodono
This whole group was really fun, and the Yellow Squares could've been Green Circles without too much work. Even the Orange Diamond only got there for a lack of ambition. They're all definitely worth a go through.
As always thanks for all the support, i'm glad you're all finding some enjoyment out of these. Looks like we've got a month to go. Y'all have a great day, yeah?
Behind the Curtains Stuffs
Got the secondary recordings for episode 049 done yesterday, i'll probably play through them again in a minute to have them fresh so i can do the outro. Yesterday got kind of busy (and shockingly not because of the Switch), it didn't help that there was something weird bugging out in the hub that took something like forever to unkink (there was an extra space in one of the tags or something). Anyhow, it ought to be wrapped today.
Season one is drawing to a close. Just wanted to drop a reminder of the other thread. i know some of you have posted over there already, but if you haven't, and you've got some particular questions or suggestions you'd like me to hear, toss them up over there. All of the suggestions i've gotten so far have had a real positive effect on how the show's turned out.

What what? Tuesday (Takeaway) already? Surely you jest!
Zikkurat - Undomiel_
There's not really a lot that needs to be said about this one. It remains a very well-presented platformer with fairly standard gameplay. It does serve as an example of how a well-chosen set of materials and decorations can really help make a level feel like more than it is (this is not a back-handed compliment, mind. It really is important). i liked the sticker switch, but i do remember sweating over which stickers to use when i used them way back in my LBP1 level. i mean, you want to pick something that makes sense for the level, but also something the average player would have found in the game. Still, i would love to see the mechanic used a little bit more in community levels. i mentioned it in the episode (i think), but the point bubble placement is really quite good here. There are enough that you can get a good score chain going, but not so many it feels over-stuffed, and the spacing makes you have to push a bit without needing you to be absolutely perfect in your timing.
Doors: A Tribute "2" - Sackboy_Power754
Man, i really wanted to beat this one, Got stuck in the same place i did before, though. Figured out you were supposed to be using the front-to-back wall-jumps there, but i still couldn't quite nail the timing. Still, the level is really well-done, with a lot of neat stuff going on in the areas i did see. i can't believe i didn't put the "cheap 3d movie gimmick" in a PiP for y'all. i have failed.
Project Ninja ???? 2 - esuki
Looking at it now, i'm pretty sure that last kanji is supposed to be read as "tsurugi" and not "ken." Bugger all. This level, folks, this is pretty gold-standard when it comes to alternate abilities on sack-things. Even on a fourth (fifth?) playthrough i noticed a couple of new things (like, did you know you can slice the arrows out of the air? Or that attacking from behind does double damage?). The environment is better than i gave it credit for in the episode, and the rooftop fight feels properly epic if you take it seriously, and don't just face-tank the boss. This really needs more plays, and a team pick, and then more plays.
Cheetah's Revenge - Mr_Scheissbatzn
i have no idea how to pronounce 'tzn' . i consider this a deep personal failing. This one is probably a little better than i initially gave it credit for. There's some nice use of depth going on, and you can keep a decent-enough pace throughout the level. i still think the palette is a bit to samey w/r/t other levels in the same setting. It's not, perhaps, entirely fair to judge this level in comparison to others, but it's kind of like zombie movies. Even if one is very well-put-together, if it's just hitting the standard notes, it's not going to leave much of an impression given how saturated the genre has become (of course, that leads a lot of folks to double-down on the "humans are the real monster" aspect, and so we get interminable slogs like The Walking Dead, or Crossed, and yes, i do consider Crossed to be basically zombies, and mostly garbage). Also, why monkeybars? i mean, really.
The Darkness - ryomodono
Meh...i mean, the power-up is nice, and i like the idea, but there's not really all that much done with it, and the level is so...flat? Empty? This one feels a bit more proof-of-concept than finished product. At the same time, it's not really a bad level, it's just kind of there.
So, yeah, that's the that, i figure. Hope y'all find something you like, and have a great day!
Behind the Curtains Stuff
Not much beyond what we said in the LBsP thread yesterday. Though it did remind me, Mei's gag in the intro is basically the plots of Puppet Master 1 and 2 mashed together. If you absolutely must watch a killer-doll movie, and you'd really like one of those dolls to spit leeches on some poor sap, well, there are worse pieces of scholck from the era. Though, to think of it, you've got one puppet with super-strength man hands. One's got a knife for one hand, and a hook for the other. There's the guy with a drill on 'is head. Later you get a chap with the world's most efficient flamethrower for an arm. i mean, really, leeches aren't all that threatening in the first place, just kind of gross. Poor Leech Woman. i bet she gets no respect at all. Of course, it could have been worse, she could have been spinny-face-guy. i bet they make him eat his lunch alone. Anyway, what i'm saying is, i watched a lot of garbage movies growing up. Also, don't watch any Puppet Master movie after part 2. Just, you know, don't.

I was able to view an advanced screener of Unbroken: Path to Redemption in exchange for this blog post. All opinions are my own.
I'm taking a break from recapping our Dominican Republic vacation to share a bit about a movie that touched my heart and reminded me of God's grace and forgiveness in my life. It's not often that I dedicate an entire blog post to a movie review, so you know it's a good movie when I do just that.
Unbroken: Path to Redemption is the true story of Louis Zamperini, a track Olympian who joins the military during World War II and becomes a prisoner of war. If you've seen the movie Unbroken, this movie is about what happens afterward. Louis is haunted by his experiences in the POW camp. While on R&R in Florida, he meets the woman who would become his wife. However, their marriage is hanging on by a thread because of Louis' post-traumatic stress and desire to see revenge on his captors. After an experience at a Billy Graham revival, both Louis and his wife are re-committed to their marriage and experience grace and forgiveness. Louis is finally able to let go of his pain from his war experiences and fully enjoy life.
The overarching theme of grace and forgiveness in this movie was incredibly powerful. Although I'm a huge fan of practically any Pure Flix films, the same cannot be said for my husband; for him, Pure Flix films sometimes come across as "too fluffy." However, my husband's opinion about Pure Flix was changed with this real-life story turned into a movie. As a soldier, he can relate to Louis' journey of pain and emotional scars that come with having experienced war firsthand (of course, Andy's experiences were nowhere near as traumatic as Louis'.) Seeing Louis' grace and forgiveness in his life inspired my husband to live his life with grace and forgiveness. Dare I say it, my husband may have even teared up in the movie.
One of the really interesting things about this movie is that Billy Graham is "played" by his grandson, Will. Will carries on the family tradition of evangelism with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. I had the opportunity to attend a Will Graham revival back in 2015, and it was an experience I will never forget.
Although the movie focuses on Louis (and rightfully so), Cynthia's character really spoke to me. She met Louis after his experiences in the POW camp. She knew what she was "getting into," but saw and cherished the man underneath all of Louis' pain. When the Zamperinis were headed for divorce, she committed to the Lord and trusted that He would heal Louis' pain and restore their marriage. It was a good reminder for me to be committed to helping my husband and praying for him and our marriage, especially with all of the struggles that come along with military life.
I highly recommend that everyone watch Unbroken: Path to Redemption as it will remind you of God's grace in your life.
