ipsy November 2018 Glam Bag
Hey guys! I've skipped posting on the last few ipsy Glam Bags because primarily I had a lot of things going on in my life but also there wasn't too much that wowed me the past few months. In fact, if I had remembered in time I would've canceled my automatic yearly renewal. Oh well, I have another year of it and I hope that it will be fairly good since I canceled after so many years. Here's what I got in my ipsy November 2018 Glam Bag.
I like the material of the bag this month. It's a material that will repel drops of water when it comes in contact. I tend to like bags like that the most. First item that caught my eye is the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush. I love this brand and own a decent amount of products from them. The shade I got this in is called Quirky. Next item that caught my eye is the Skyn Iceland Brightening Eye Serum. I'm running low on what I use for the delicate eye area so I'm glad to have gotten this in my bag this month. Then we have the Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint. This is a K-beauty brand that is new-to-me but surprisingly relatively accessible since apparently CVS carries it?! The shade I got is called #9 Love Sniper Red. I was about to pass on this but I looked at some ipsy reviews and (at the time I read it) it's overwhelmingly positive so I thought I'll give it a go. Next is another item I'm eagerly looking forward to trying it out. Another K-beauty brand? Their roots are with K-beauty though it seems. The Botanic Farm Avocado Honey Rich Water Balm Cream looks like it would be great for the winter months and we're definitely getting winter weather here right now. Last up is the Doucce Punk Volumizer Mascara. I *might* actually keep this as I haven't tried a new mascara lately and I am itching to.
This might be the first time I actually liked every single item I got including the makeup bag. Wow! I know this trend will probably not stay but a girl can hope, right? I'm very eager to try these out and post my reviews on them at a later point.
ipsy June 2018 Glam Bag
A little late again but better late than never! Ever since I started Pokemon Go from scratch last week, all my free time has been devoted to it. I finished with the Articuno raid with my co-worker friend Lohan and a bunch of his friends. I used all raid passes and I realized I have to get used to being in raids more (I forgot to use the golden razz!!!). Anyway, here's what I got in my ipsy June 2018 Glam Bag.
The bag I got is nice (ignore the fly on one of the products — the picture above was the best products group shot). It's a material that will repel drops of water when it comes in contact. Very good to have those on hand. First item that caught my eye is the FORMULA 10.0.6 Three Times Sublime. I love face masks and this one is described on ipsy as "a cleanser, exfoliant, and face mask (yup, all three) that treats blemishes, removes blackheads, unclogs pores, and controls oil." Next item that caught my eye is the MAKE UP FOR EVER STEP1 Skin Equalizer Primer. I'll try it out to see how it smoothes out my large pores. Then we have the Dr. Lili Fan Probiotic Eye Repair Cream. I've has great experience using the Dr. Lili Fan Probiotic Recovery Cream so I have high hopes for this. Next we have the Kaleido Cosmetics Skin Blush. ipsy subscribers got this in either Prom Queen or Primadonna, which is what I got. Last up is the Estate Cosmetics Lip Icing. The shade I got is called Goodie.
Not bad again! Next month's bag should be out in transit to me shortly and I can't wait cause I saw what the makeup bag looks like and it looks really nice. I hope the material is nice too.
ipsy April 2018 Glam Bag
I know this is late but I had taken the pictures already so we'll go ahead with it anyway. Here's what I got in my ipsy April 2018 Glam Bag.
I LOVE this bag! It's quite beautiful really. I saved it to give it to my MIL. It makes me think of mothers for some reason (I think it might be the rose gold and the butterflies?). The first item that caught my eye is the H2O+ BEAUTY Oasis Hydrating Treatment. I'm very much into skincare right now so this is right up my alley. Next is the Purlisse Coconut Oil + Coffee Sugar Body Scrub. I love body scrubs so this went straight into my shower. Then we have the Smashbox Cosmetics Always On Liquid Lipstick. I'm still debating if I want to keep this or not. The shade is called Miss Conduct and I'm not sure if it suits me or not (plus, I have a ton of lip products already). Next we have the Manna Kadar Eye Candy Priming Shadow Stick. The shade I got is called S'more. Last up is a Steve Laurant Blush. TI've never heard of this brand before but it seems like it would be a really nice blush. The shade I got this in is called Rosé All Day. The other shade some others got is called I'm Blushing.
Overall, I'm very pleased with what I got — especially the bag! I hope next month's bag continues this trend!
ipsy February 2018 Glam Bag
February was such a busy month for me. I co-hosted a baby shower a few weeks ago and February was the month where we did everything that is needed for it. Venue search was a little frantic in the beginning but it all worked out. Invitations were sent out with 3 weeks to RSVP and I was busy DIY-ing stuff for it in all of my free time last month. All in all, everything went smoothly on the day of and I now have more time for the blog. 🙂 Since I missed blogging last month, here's what I got in my ipsy February 2018 Glam Bag.
The bag is okay. I can see the romantic aspect of it but I thought it would scream more Valentine's to me than this. But moving on, first item that caught my eye is the BLAQ Meteor Shower. I'm currently saving it for a day or night out or something — it's sitting in my shower. I read a few reviews on it and like what I'm hearing so far. Next item that caught my eye is the Sand&Sky Brilliant Skin Purifying Pink Clay Mask. The bright-colored tube caught my eye and I noticed a trend here….BLAQ is an Australian brand and so is Sand&Sky! Then we have the MARSK Mineral Eyeshadow. The shade I got this in is called Foiled Again. I don't use this kind of beauty product much so it will be a good stocking stuffer for someone. Next we have the Luxie Beauty Blending and Shading Eye Brush. I think I retook the quiz after I got this in my bag again. One of the things I don't need more of is makeup brushes. Last up is Seraphine Botanicals Lychee + Gold – Healthy Glow Rose-Gold Blush. The packaging of this product is simply elegant and stunning! I'm in love with the packaging for sure.
With the weather warming up, I can see myself using up half of these items I got in this month's bag.
ipsy November 2017 Glam Bag
Halloween came by and went as well as Thanksgiving. I've been quite busy the past few weeks that posting on here just hasn't been on top of my list. But the holiday season is now here and the pile of things for me to review are stacking up. Since I got most of my Christmas shopping done already, I can focus on other stuff (like this blog) more. Here's what I got in my ipsy November 2017 Glam Bag.
I'm not sure if I like or dislike the bag. What I know is it made me think of one of my closest friends immediately so I might just give this to her. First item that caught my eye is the Kensie Perfume. The size I got is the purse sprayer mini deluxe. Since I'm not a fan of trying new scents (most gives me a headache), I will be passing this on to another close friend of mine that simply lovvvves perfumes. Next item that caught my eye is the Glamour Dolls x Lisa Frank Bitten & Bronzed Matte Bronzer. The packaging is just so eye-catching, as what I have come to expected with anything Lisa Frank. Since I'm not adding more bronzers to what I already have for the moment, I will be passing this on as a stocking stuffer extra for one of my nieces. Then we have the em Infinite Lip Cloud. I liked their mascara a lot so I'm sure the quality of this product is pretty good. The shade I got this in is called Rose Nude. Next we have the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush. The shade I got this in is called Feisty. This is a nice shade but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it or give it away. I do like their stuff a lot. Last up is Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara.
Overall, it's okay but this is making me look forward to what December has to offer more. Since it's for Christmas, I'm hoping it will have something that wows me. 🙂

Re-blogged from http://cluborlov.blogspot.se/2014/03/ukrainians-on-verge-of-nervous-breakdown.html I have omitted the video conversation in Russian (see text below). Dmitri Orlov is himself Ukrainian though he lives in the USA. It does look as if the 25th May election in Ukraine is going to witness a reversal to the old-style of elections in that country. The EU parliament elections are to be held from 22nd to 25th May, hence the choice of date for the Ukrainian elections.
Ukrainians on the verge of a nervous breakdown
[Tuesday update:
Ukraine's defence minister has resigned (via El País).
"Since some don't like the decisions I have made, I am not going to stay in this post," he said before the Supreme Rada (Parliament) in Kiev. The deputies, which initially rejected his resignation, ended up accepting it after an emergency meeting among the different political parties… In his speech before the Rada, he offered a new—and disheartening—tally of desertions: only 4,300 of the 18,800 [Ukrainian] soldiers in Crimea will continue in the Ukrainian army; the rest have accepted the offer by the Russians to join their armed forces.]
In this intercepted phone call Yulia Tymoshenko, a likely Ukrainian presidential candidate (but there will be no elections*) talks about using nuclear weapons on the eight million Russian citizens who live in Ukraine.
Good thing these "Ukrainians" don't have any nuclear weapons, but they do have plentiful baseball bats and AK47s looted from armories in the west of the country. Listening to the tone of her voice (these Ukrainian nationalists are speaking together in pretty good Russian, by the way; they are both urbane and Ukrainian is a village dialect) I almost feel sorry for her. Except that she is talking about murdering people like me (my father was born in Kiev, so I have the right to a Ukrainian citizenship). Ahem, President Putin, do you have a moment?
[* And the reason there will be no election is that if the election were held today, the people in power would get maybe 5% of the popular vote.]
In his novel The White Guard, Mikhail Bulgakov, writing of the events of 1918 in Ukraine, characterized Ukrainian politics as a "pathetic operetta." We appear to be at just that point yet again.
In other news, the ever-amusing Russian Liberal Democrat leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky has proposed dividing up Western Ukraine between Poland, Hungary and Romania. Poland quickly responded that it has no interest in annexing former Eastern Poland. I can't blame them.

Happy September! I hope you're enjoying the sudden change of weather as much as I am. Even though the official change of season isn't until the 22nd of this month, it's already starting to feel very autumnal around here! The leaves are definitely starting to get crispy underfoot and all of us (even Penny!) have been foraging around in the garden for all the fruit that's ready to be picked.
As we seem to have had a bumper crop of apples and blackberries this year, I thought it would be a lovely idea to put our harvest to good use and create a cosy, autumnal recipe to share with you all. I've chosen porridge as I'm a huge fan of starting these slightly chillier days with a warm and hearty breakfast but I also know that porridge gets as boring as hell if you make it the same way ever single morning. So, I think you could call this my attempt to try and give those oats a bit of a seasonal makeover!
Anyway, without further ado, here's what you'll need to whip up roughly four bowls of my Apple and Blackberry Crumble Porridge.
Start by preparing your toppings. For the walnuts, pop the halved nuts, sugar and butter into a non-stick frying pan and start warming them gently over a medium heat. Sprinkle over a little cinnamon and then get stirring! It's really important that you don't slack on the spoon action here, as the caramel you're creating will burn if left to bubble along on it's own! Stir the mixture for about six minutes total, then quickly transfer the nuts onto a sheet of parchment paper and immediately give them a shimmy to separate them from one another. The nuts and their coating will be hardened and ready to sprinkle in about ten minutes.
For the yummy crumble topping, start by preheating your oven to 180c/350f. Then, in a mixing bowl, rub all the ingredients together between your fingers until you get a nice and bobbly breadcrumb texture. Spread your crumble mixture onto a baking sheet, sprinkling an extra cheeky bit of brown sugar on top as you do, and then whack everything in the oven for around ten minutes. Once it's looking beautifully golden brown in colour, take the crumble out of the oven and allow it to cool before using as your lovely porridge topping!
And for the porridge itself, start by placing your oats and milk in a large pan over a medium heat. Add in a tiny pinch of salt and then get stirring! For a creamy and smooth texture (aka. perfect porridge) you ideally want to keep stirring the mix for around five to six minutes. Just before you think the porridge is ready, pour in the grated apple as well as a couple of tablespoons of honey and (if you want) a smattering of blackberries and stir everything together really well. Dollop a hearty amount into your bowl, scatter over your yummy toppings... and enjoy!
Feel free to adapt this recipe in any way you fancy! I like the idea of upping the amount of cinnamon and using hazelnuts and chocolate chips to make this a mega festive and cosy treat come Christmastime. But you could also make it into a real health kick by leaving the nuts raw and sprinkling over some toasted almonds instead of the super sugary crumble.
If you do decide to give this one a go, be sure to tag me in any instagrams you post! I'd love to see your take on the recipe.
Do you have any go-to breakfast meals? I love the cosiness of porridge at this time of year but in summer I'm all about granola and yoghurt. Let me know your fave way to start the day in the comments below!
In the meantime,
All the love,
Sian x

After I got my bike in August last year, I remember telling myself that I wouldn't be spending any more on tri gear and equipment.
Then came the 80mm clincher race wheels I bought for Ironman Langkawi. And shortly after the race, I got myself a new tri suit to be worn for Ironman WA.
This time round, keeping in mind that I should also be saving for wedding preparations. Anyway, I'll let the pictures do the talking. TA-DA!
Spiuk Kronos, RRP US$229, I justified my purchase by getting it 2nd hand from the Triwa forum for slightly above half the price.
And, I'm also putting up my current Bell Meteor II for sale too. No point having two aero helmets, right?

For those that know me, it may seem strange for me to link these two things together, for others the first may be unfamiliar. I just ask you to roll with me for a bit as I make these connections.
Growing up where I grew up, being the type of student that I was, working where I work, I have always been accustomed to being the only "one" there. The only butterscotch chip in the sugar cookie, the lone speck of cinnamon in the oatmeal, etc. (you get the idea). So I was disappointed but not surprised that my participation in this seminar would be no different. I am attending an intercultural seminar for faculty in Madrid. The demographic of the 18 of us is 98% female, 98% WHITE. Now here's where it gets tricky for me. Yesterday, it became clear that this may be INTENTIONAL. Here's what has brought me to this revelation. My examples are communicative in nature, using interactions and nonverbal cues to illustrate where I'm going. I needed time to remove (some) of the emotion that charges this (I gave myself a day), I may still be a touch in my feelings, so please bear with me.
1) There is a way that our facilitator has engaged us as a group. Each one of us have had the opportunity to speak one on one with her. The conversations with others have been around career, research and plans for after the workshop. When it came time to have my one on one, the topic of our conversation: Am I married, have I talked to my kids, do I like living in GA. (huh?). I try to shift conversations around pedagogy and practice and it would be diverted back to superficial topics.
2) This same facilitator has been talking to each and every person about participating in an institute that has the reputation of "pushing forward career opportunities and experiences in the field of intercultural learning." Participants are being encouraged to apply, to try for the fellowship (it costs about 3K) in order to offset costs, offers to write letters to Department Chairs to help get them there, etc. There is one person that has not been told formally the opportunity to have this "life changing experience:" (insert photo).
3) I received some great news before I left for this trip. My book is finally in print (YAY!!!!!!!!!). I got copies of it just before I headed out to the airport. One of the ladies in the cohort shared this information with the group. The sentence began "We have some exciting news in our midst! One of us just got her book published this weekend…Kami! Tell them about your book." As soon as she said my name, this same facilitator walked off to look at a flower.
(excuse the profanity)
Now this is not my first rodeo. My first encounter with how "excited" (sarcasm intentional) the ones who don't look like me are about "us" coming into this field of intercultural training has being a potential threat came in my Masters' program. I believed I mentioned this in another post, but to ensure my readers are on the same page, I offer it again:
I had the pleasure of having one of the premiere scholars and trainers in intercultural training and development as a professor. When I went to him to ask him to be the advisor for my thesis, he told me that he wouldn't help me because the topic of my thesis was an area he wanted to break into for consulting and if he helped me and I was good, I would be direct competition for him and take away potential clients. Because they would hire me instead of him because I was Black.
That pretty much sums up what we have in this particular field. Haters are gonna hate. Especially if they think that it will impact their money-making.
So here's where it I shift to the other part of my title: Makoroto– Celebrate EVERYTHING
Something that I am learning from the people of Spain: they enjoy themselves! With an unemployment rate of 25%, you will still see many, MANY people getting tapas and enjoying their friends and family. Walking in the parks, hanging out in the plazas, laughing and living it up. It seems as though they have not a worry in the world. No one is worried about whether or not they have "enough" money to go out. Food is shared all around the table regardless who orders it. Tapas and drinks are relatively inexpensive in contrast to the value of the euro. You can go out, get a cerveza for $1.50 or a tinto (wine) for $2.00, nurse it ALL night and just time chatting with friends and enjoying the company. I have totally embraced the dining culture and the concept of free time is MY time and MY FAMILY'S time and worth celebrating.
Another thing I learned at our tour of the bullring today. Some people just have to go through a few moments they the rest of the world how powerful they are. Say what you will about the sport of bullfighting, but the torero, is an honored figure in the Spanish community, because they are clear what his job is. They are clear of the risks he faces every time he has togo to work. The awesome thing about it is, he maintains the utmost HUMILITY and stays the model figure in Spanish society. Being a torero is not just a job, it's a lifestyle. I don't want to be a torero, but I do want to make sure that I am eating breathing and living the lifestyle of an interculturalist. I may hit a few bruises (as I illustrated above), but the overall impact in my community and this field is far greater.
My application of this concept: Celebrate this opportunity! Marvel in the fact that my vested interest and desire to be a part of this field despite its sociocultural history is my motivation to continue. Will I be the only one at some of these seminars and conferences? Yes! But not to wallow in woe and self-pity, I have the opportunity to continue to shine or bring whoever I want with me. (A just a note, they will be the most revolutionary! ) I love this! The fact I am "alone" (seemingly) in this is motivating me to shape it in a way that I can comfortably place myself and make room for the rest of us. But y'all need to be clear, since I'll be the one "at the door" for a minute, VIP passes will be given to those who are looking to revolutionize the field AND make a radical difference in our community with the knowledge they get.

Manhattan Loft Kitchen: Before + After
I'm so excited to share one of my recently completed projects, the kitchen of a Manhattan Loft Apartment. I designed the entire residence and still need to have professional photography done for the MANDARINA STUDIO website but thought I'd post this snapshot in the meantime to show a 'Before' & 'After'. Some background about the project: The client is a young single entrepreneur who leads a busy professional and social life; he often works from home and entertains there as well. The apartment is a duplex with the bedroom and terrace upstairs, but the main living area is an open plan loft style space. Since the kitchen is open to the dining and living areas, the concept was to create a seamless, clean aesthetic that is contemporary, stylish with a bit of whimsy and fun!
Obviously, the before photo illustrates the many problems of the original kitchen, namely the country cabinetry, fascia that shields awkward spot lights (I still don't understand this design), vinyl tile flooring and the disjointed overall appearance by the combination of stainless steel appliances with the white cabinets; the space is just too small for this to be successful. Given that this is a small kitchen (typical in Manhattan), my goal was to limit the amount of materials and ensure that they compliment the finishes in the adjacent living and dining areas.
The idea was simple: dark cabinets on the bottom to coordinate with some dark finish furniture in the adjacent rooms and light on top for a fresh, light look. The wood base cabinets are actually a very dark gray while the top cabinets are a combination of white finish wood and back painted glass. It is not evident in the photo but all of the wood cabinets have a beautiful horizontal texture finish that is quite unique and more interesting than the standard. The combination of built-in appliances, wood panels on the face of appliances and elimination of cabinetry hardware creates a very streamlined, clean aesthetic which is further accomplished with the white Caesarstone countertops. The peninsula bar was added for extra storage and to provide a serving space for entertaining. The vinyl tile was replaced with wood that continues from the rest of the space. Lastly, the glass backsplash done in green adds a bit of fun! Would love to hear your thoughts.

Wow, Amanda, that's really great. I love the white caesarstone because it brings it all together and balances out the color scheme. The edges are sharp yet forgiving. That light green is delicious, one of my favorite colors. Can you do my kitchen?

TEHRAN-Albanian Deputy Foreign Minister Etjen Xhafaj expressed his country's tendency for expansion of trade ties with Iran, the portal of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (ICCIMA) reported.
The deputy minister made the remarks during a Tuesday meeting with ICCIMA Head Gholam-Hossein Shafeie in Albania.
Shafeie, who led a delegation to the southeastern European country, for his part, underlined the significance of improving bilateral economic ties saying that Albania can act as a gateway for Iran into the Balkans.

Larger Spherical Tanks
RoninFrog posted a topic in Suggestions & Development DiscussionThe gold spherical tanks look awesome, but a 6.25m diameter is too small for anything but a micro lander. It would be great to have them in 1.25m and 2.5m (and maybe 3.75m) sizes. They could be used to make more practically sized landers and also be used to make fuel stations and mining bases look way cooler.

Is my game bugged? What happened to kerbodyne fuel tanks? They don't seem to fit into anything anymore, I don't recall having this problem with older versions of the game. [snip] this is very upsetting to me. Even the biggest engine in the game is too small for kerbodyne fuel tanks right now. I'm so triggered right now that I went out of my way to creat a forum account just to report this.
Tanks with no fuel
pablomai posted a question in Technical Support (PC, modded installs)Hello! I'm having a problem that's maing the game pretty much unplayable (unless you're crazy enough to play only with SRBs and the twin boar that for some reason does work). All stock fuel tanks (be it liquid fuel+oxidizer, only LF, monopropelant or xeon gas) apear as purely structural/ornamental parts. Idon't know if it's a mod that causing it (didn't open the game before installing mods) or what. This is a fresh instalation (new PC stopped working, had to go back to old one that didn't had KSP installed). Images of whats happening: https://imgur.com/gallery/rUELK The mods list, add kopernicus (it didn't fit): https://imgur.com/gallery/oKV4K The game is pretty damn hard without liquid fuel Oh, also Strategia is showing me the Kerbal system strategies and I have installed the Galileo´s Planet Pack.
Animated Containers/Tanks?
Eskandare posted a topic in Modelling and Texturing DiscussionDoes anyone know a way to animate containers? ie: container or tank animates as you fill it? BahamutoD used to have plugin but I don't know anyone has updated it or done anything similar.
GillyMonster posted a topic in The Spacecraft ExchangeHey everyone this thread is dedicated to the Ironmongers of Kerbal Space Program. Submarines, tanks, strike aircraft, gunships, artillery, real life recreations, fantasy replics or something of your own making. If it can make the KSC go boom post it here! I'll post first. https://kerbalx.com/GillyMonster/Manticore-Rocket
Warhammer 40k Recreations
GillyMonster posted a topic in The Spacecraft ExchangeHello to all! I'm new to KSP forums and have been playing KSP for about 3 years. While my skills at navigating the Kerbin system remain subpar I recently found I have a pentiant for recreating Ground Vehicles from Warhammer 40k. That said I've been posting the craft files to KerbalX, showcase videos on YouTube and albums to Imgur. On Imgur I seem to get troll bombed with a couple down votes almost immediately with no explanation or suggestions as to why. I typically link KerbalX and YouTube in the Imgur albums...can anyone give me some media posting tips? I'm not looking to start an internet career, I just want to share my creations with other KSP fans. Is this the place to do it?

KSP - Iron Horses - Volume I - Afrika
KenjiKrafts posted a topic in KSP Fan WorksThe first of three installments of the Iron Horses series, and also my first story here anyway Enjoy, Kenji ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We wake up to the same sound every morning. Constant gunfire. The axis have pushed us back and we were the last ones, the last five left from our squad. We peer from the trenches to see the dust settle, the carnage that lay before me is nullifying. I couldn't breath, freinds lay before me soaked in their own blood, I fell to the floor. Sarge pulled me up and we got back in the tank. We moved on as if nothing happened, it felt wrong, I stared at the floor in despair. "It's not your fault" spoke a whisper, I look up to see Karl loading the next shell ready just in case, he repeated harsher this time, "It's not your fault, look alive then" I started with a look of desperation at him, and simply said "How can I know on that we could have saved them?" He proceeded to ignore my question, maybe he thought it was rhetorical, but who cares anyway. He began to tell me a story about a mission in that he was the sole survivor due to a local taking him in and helping him recover, suddenly Ernst, The commander of the tank, turned and screamed "BRACE!" slamming the roof shut. It was then we were hit, a lone Panzer of in the distance had shot out the track, we fired back but to no success, we were out of Armour Penetration Rounds and only had High Explosive left, the second shell hit us and Ernst was flung from his seat into the tanks underlay, we were in grave danger. Our radio operator James was already on the lines calling for assistance, he flicked through the channels all to be dead, just plain silence. It all fell away in the blink of an eye. I knew, I knew what was to happen next, I was going to die here. I think we all knew it was our time. Time ceased as the third shot was fired, the tank was ablaze. Now I am the only one left, some time has passed but these scars may never heal. As I was dragged to the bomber I felt nothing, it was all a blur, where were they? Where was James? Where was Ernst and the other crew? The machinegun fire faded away and the humble whir of the bombers engines was all there was as I was flooded by medics and emergency personnel, I was loosing blood fast, as the plane dived to perform a landing I blacked out. We had landed in US soil and I was at last safe from harm, nothing could hide the nightmares I keep having as I see the massacre over and over, men cut down like butter to a hot knife, they fell to the MG fire of the Germans. I needed to go back. I needed to fight again. I was given the privilege much sooner than hoped and was back to the hangar within a week, as the new commander of my squadron I was the oldest and most experienced commander of the squad, and the only one to see combat. I felt a despair in my heart to see so many young men, I knew what lay ahead. We marched on and waited at the mouth of the Gulf and marched on to the desert, we were immediately met with enemy Panzer fire, we took cover to identify the primary targets, sure enough there it was! The prized Wüstenfuchs in his Tiger I tank, we crawled forwards slowly, a thunderous sound rang through the desert valley we had been spotted "M3 DOWN!" screamed Jacobs the Tiger had begun its assault, followed by its ensemble of Panzer VI's. We fell like flies. We returned fire, "600 meters and counting commander!" I gave the order and we destroyed two of the six Panzer VI's it was not met without consequence as the Tiger was beginning to flank the right as the other three Panzer VI's flanked the right, the coms were wild, I begun to fade out and imagine back in France when I lost everyone "ORDERS COMMANDER!" exclaimed Jacobs, "Never back down advance and push forwards" I commanded the remaining tanks. We began our assault on the Tiger and managed to cripple its left track and before I could react the Tiger fired dead at the center of our right armour and dazed the crew, I couldn't see anything just a blur of sand and steel, a sharp ringing in my ears, our gunner Reynolds was dead, I took his duty and unloaded a shell into a hull of a Panzer VI sending a flurry of shrapnel everywhere, we had the upper hand at last! I heard a ringing again getting louder and louder, the commander of the Churchill next to me screamed at me with the full force of his lungs "Stuka!" I look to the sky in horror, a haze of yellow and white screaming at me with the full power of its engine, they began their strafe of our light tanks, dropping bombs and firing their cannons, it looked grim. I saw the Tiger behind the rocks slipping away, "Load the damn gun Jacobs" and sure enough he loaded the cannon, I took a breath and time slowed, I squeezed the trigger releasing the shell full force into the ammo racks of the Tiger, it was no more. I had won. I clambered out of my tank and looked around, I was copied by the remaining tank crews. We rejoiced for now as we had won!
Général Estienne tank museum of Saumur
XB-70A posted a topic in The LoungeIt seems that there is an important number of tank and armored vehicles lovers there so it makes me think to share my pictures of the Saumur tank museum where I went in 2013. That museum was particularly interesting with their operational Pz VI ausf. B and also their Schneider CA1 (now the oldest operative tank in the world as it's from 1916). My only regret now is to haven't took much more pictures of some vehicles and all the others I missed... Some of them also really are of a bad quality () as I used a 2006 small camera at the time. --- The 1918-1940 French tanks exposition. Saint-Chamond WW1 tank. Renault FT "Female" tank with its 8 mm Hotchkiss machine-gun and a "Male" 37 mm cannon exposed in front. Renault B1 Bis heavy tank. With its 75 mm anti-fortification cannon, its turret 47 mm anti-tank and an impressive armor it is still considered by many as the best tank of at the beginning of the War. Alas, its crew of 4 was unable to keep a good efficiency with its poor internal conception and a bad repartition of the task. The tank commander was alone in its turret, having to give orders, aim the cannon, fire and reload it. It's easy to imagine what a mess it quickly became. Without forgetting that only the leader tank got a radio onboard for a link to the commanding officer, the others still having to use flags and hand signs to communicate between each others. Somua S35. --- Germany and Axis 1939-45 collection. Panzerkampftwagen VI Ausf. B Tiger II a.k.a "King Tiger" (Konigstiger). This last nickname became legendary with the time but alas was never used by the Germans. The unit present here is one of the very last still operational. The museum crew is keeping it in a perfect shape for its yearly demonstration. You can even enjoy a traditional oil leak! 15 cm Panzerwerfer 42 auf Selbstfahrlafette Sd.Kfz.4/1 based on an Opel Maultier ("Mule") with another 6 tube 15 cm Nebelwerfer. This vehicle variant was mostly used by Waffen-SS units. One legendary Sd.Kfz. 251 in its 251/7 Pionierpanzerwagen variant. One famous 7.5 cm Pak 40 cannon is visible just behind. Panzerkampfwagen V Panther. Shamely this is my sole picture of the Sd. Kfz. 2 Kettenkrad. Easy to see here why so many guys killed themselves while driving it at more than 80 km/h. Sd. Kfz. 135 Marder I tank destroyer. Sd. Kfz. 124 Wespe 10.5 cm self-propelled artillery vehicle. 5 cm Pak 38 (L/60). Panzerkampfwagen III ausf. H and what I could get of its turret. Panzerkampfwagen II ausf. C and its Panzer III bigger brother to compare their size. 2 cm Flugabwehrkanone 30. One of the poorest light AA cannon of the conflict in this variant of 1930. Panzerkampfwagen VI ausf. E Tiger and its Totenkopf officer model. 2 cm Flakvierling 38. Despite the lack of "punch" of its 20 mm round against the specialized and armored ground attack aircraft it still was a nightmare for the Allied crew at low altitude. The impressive 155 mm self-propelled artillery vehicle Sturmpanzer 43 a.k.a Stupa by the German troops. Like the "King Tiger" it is know more well know under the nickname of Brummbär (Grouch)... which again is a nickname from the Allied forces. This one got hit in 1944 by four different shot of 75/76.2 mm shells that created an intern detonation, initiating its 155 mm munitions and blowing the casemate away. Impressively it was recovered by another crew which return it to an operational status for the rest of the war. Panzerfeldhaubitze 18M auf Geschützwagen III/IV (Sf) Hummel self-propelled 155 mm howitzer. Fiat Carro Armato M15/42 from the legendary 132nd Armoured Division Ariete which fought in northern Africa. Impressive to imagine how these guys were courageous to keep on fighting in these tanks from another age. --- The Curiosity Room Colonial helmet. Rocket Propelled Grenades. Panzerfaust 30 and 60. Multiple 105 mm shell of fin stabilized kinetic energy penetrator. Stabilized shell (actually a wind tunnel model) and a U.S 106 mm recoilless round at the right. 40 mm Armour-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot - Tracer. A belt of 20 mm rounds from one French AMX-30B2 Main Battle Tank co-axial cannon. 127 mm rounds. One 105 mm M1 High-Explosive shell. A HEAT shell is on the upper left and another rocket assisted HEAT round is on the right. Euromissile HOT 1 (Haut subsonique Optiquement Téléguidé/High Subsonic Optical Remote-Guided) anti-tank missile. Crazy configurations of Aérospatiale ENTAC (ENgin Téléguidé Anti-Char) anti-tank missiles. Leichter Ladungsträger Goliath remote controlled demolition vehicle. Humber Hornet with a dual Malkara anti-tank missile launcher. Volkswagen Typ 128 Schwimmwagen. Another APFSDS shot. Euromissile Roland surface-to-air missile. Original poster of the awesome movie The Beast (La Bete de Guerre in France). I was about to keep on posting the others pictures but just discovered that all the work I made this morning to replace them on Imgur were not saved... so I will remake it tonight and post them tomorrow. There is the Warsaw Pact room, Allied Room, French Room and the last room of other nations with some beautiful pieces (including my favorite MBT).
WW2-Modern Vehicle Replicas [WIP]
stickman939 posted a topic in The Spacecraft ExchangeI had a thread with a bunch of WW2-era themed craft (Mainly planes) but I never provided any pics for it.... But in this new thread, I'll be posting all the craft I've made that's as close to a replica or a recreation of the real life thing, or something that was inspired by it. Within each link I provided a little backstory/advertisement for my craft, as well as stats, payload, and armament I'll be posting mostly WW2-era themed craft, as I find them easier to make compared to modern-day jets. But I have a few I'll be updating this as I get each craft finished/screenshot. THREAD RULES AND SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AIRCRAFT: Sorry not sorry for the long post, but it'll only get longer
Issues with BDarmory damage
mento posted a topic in Add-on DiscussionsI've updated to 1.2 and for some reason the physics behind bdarmory have changed, back in 1.1 they seemed to work fine. I'm having issues with KSP/squad parts not absorbing damage properly. I built a tank out of structural panels and changed the file on the structural panels to have a higher damage protection rating. The problem is, bd armory is shooting (even with very weak guns) straight through the structural panels and completely killing the inside of the tank with 1 shot while leaving the outside in slightly damaged condition. This was never an issue in previous versions, the other versions seemed much more realistic.
It would be nice if we could disable the automatic fuel crossfeed system that always steals fuel from the closest adjacent tank. You can choose whether or not fuel passes through a decoupler, but there's no such option for crossfeed between tanks. My second stage was a bundle of 7 orange tanks with Mainsail engines, but some of those tanks were probably considered to be "closer" to certain particular other tanks due to tiny floating point rounding errors. The result was that some tanks were running out more quickly than others, and I suddenly got an asymmetric flameout with empty tanks on one side and half full on the other. I know I could solve it with fuel lines, asparagus staging etc. (and I probably will since it will be more efficient), but it would have been nice to simply disable this crossfeeding. Just add an option to each fuel tank to optionally isolate it from adjacent tanks, like the option to let fuel pass through a decoupler or not.
Vintage Rockets
riocrokite posted a topic in Add-on DevelopmentI'm working on a vintage rockets mod. Why another rockets mod you might ask? Several reasons: - exploring dead end concepts of rocketry that include exotic fuels, hybrid rockets, tank clustering, big dumb boosters, square tanks and couple of others weird ideas - introducing more complication into building and operating rockets that is of a different flavor than RO/RP-0/RSS stuff - I want to concentrate on chemical rocket propulsion only, mostly because I find using LV-Ns or near future engines a little bit too easy and then there are plenty of super cool mods for that , other reason would be to introduce sensible and limited isru operations later on - my main goal would be to supply different paths for early-mid career so yah science tree overhaul is pretty much guaranteed - for now I'm focusing on 1st stage SL engines and tanks - just to answer in advance any questions about interoperability with another mods - I think it will be very limited. This means incompatibility with most stock parts, CTT, CRP and other parts pack (different mounting points) so yah this would be pretty much a closed mod No images yet since I'm at 2d drawings stage, so just a historical engine for now:)

Northern Europe
Discover the Northern Europe, home of the Vikings, the Winter Palace and the Danish pastry, and today one of the top destinations for any discerning cruise traveller. No architecture enthusiast will want to miss a chance to see the spectacular minarets of the Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood in St Petersburg, while outdoor adventurers will love the volcanoes and geysers of Iceland, not to mention the unforgettable Northern Lights. Cruises depart on a regular basis from UK ports.
St Petersburg
Experience Russia at its most captivating. St Petersburg is a city full of awe-inspiring architecture, museums and cathedrals. Play detective at the Yusupov Palace the famous location of the murder of Rasputin. Wonder at the opulent architecture of the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, built between 1883 and 1907 the church with its richly decorated façade and onion domes is now one of the main attractions in St Petersburg.
Cruise to the top of the world and experience a day that never ends. Northern Norway has been named the Land of the Midnight Sun, because for several weeks the sun never sets creating a reddish yellow light that can only be truly appreciated first hand. Tantalise your taste buds with the delights freshly caught in the charming fishing ports dotted along the coast or take a boat out on a whale safari. Norway is nature at its best.
South West of Sweden, Denmark is the smallest and most southerly of the Nordic countries. Its capital Copenhagen, originally a Viking fishing village, is now a vibrant metropolis full of bars, cafés and restaurants. Join in with its laid-back atmosphere and revel in the Danish passion for design in one of Copenhagen's many museums or interior design stores. More energy? Why not hire a bicycle to explore the streets?
The sparsely populated island of Iceland, located in the North Atlantic Ocean is known as the 'Land of Fire and Ice'. Get lost in Icelandic folklore and look for elves and trolls amongst some of Europe's largest glaciers or in the moss-covered lava fields. With some of the most active volcanoes in the world you can suit your adventurous side with a sightseeing tour of the lava fields, or indulge yourself by relaxing at the Blue Lagoon, geothermal spa.
Sweden's capital, Stockholm, is spread across 14 islands stitched together by 57 bridges. Maybe the best way to view this city is on a boat tour, but most of the city is easy to access and explore. Gamla Stan, Stockholm's medieval quarter, dates back to the 13th Century and is full of attractions, bars, restaurants, cafés and places to shop which line the narrow winding cobbled streets.
Take in some of the cleanest air in the world as you explore this hidden gem. 2017 sees Finland celebrating 100 years as an independent country. There will be many opportunities to join in with the centennial events, such as street parties. After all that partying relax in one of Finland's 39 national parks, (soon to be 40 after the 100 years' celebration). The vibrant city of Helsinki is made up of beautiful islands set by the sea.
Estonia's medieval capital, Tallinn, is a sight to behold. This vibrant city will brush away any misconception that you may have had, that a former Soviet country would be lifeless and dull. Soak up the area's history and beautiful architecture, but that's not all the city has to offer… did you know that this is the birth place of Skype? Organise your own get-together in this beguiling city.

New Global Hockey League to revamp FIH calendar
In an attempt to make the sport popular, the International Hockey Federation (FIH) is set to introduce drastic changes with a new Global Hockey League (GHL) replacing the Champions Trophy. The 2018 edition of the Champions Trophy in Amsterdam will be the last with GHL taking its place from 2019.
In addition to the Champions Trophy, the FIH has also decided to scrap two more events on the calendar – the Hockey World League Semi-Finals and Finals. FIH President Leandro Negre announced these changes to the FIH calendar on Friday during the ongoing Sultan Azlan Shah Cup, where India will take on Australia in the final.
"The Global Hockey League will be a transformation for international hockey," Negre was quoted as saying by PTI.
"We'll have a World League 1 and World League 2, and depending on the cycle, we'll channel teams to a standalone Olympic qualifier or World Cup qualifier. There'll also be confirmation soon on the fact that there will be no Champions Trophy after 2018," he added.
The Global Hockey League will be a four-month
The current Hockey World League (HWL) was introduced after the 2010 Olympics with India hosting the first Hockey World League Finals in 2014 and the second edition in 2015, where India finished with a bronze. India is also scheduled to host the next edition of HWL Finals in 2017.
The world hockey governing body will also introduce stand-alone qualifiers for the World Cup and the Olympics after the scrapping of the World Hockey League semi-finals, which was playing the role of the qualifiers.
"We will also have stand-alone qualifiers for the Olympic Games and the World Cup," Negre said.

Boogie2988 Just Weighed In On The PewDiePie & JonTron Drama
16 March 2017, 15:02 | Updated: 6 November 2017, 09:40
His video is a must watch.
The dust has barely settled after JonTron's scandalous remarks this week regarding race and immigration, but now Boogie2988 has weighed in on the subject of controversial YouTube gamers. In particular, Boogie feels that certain YouTubers have been treated unfairly by a biased gaming media trying to forward their own narrative about creators.
Covering a range of topics such as PewDiePie being an anti-semite, JonTron being a racist and Colin Moriarty (content creator for Kinda Funny) being a sexist, Boogie believes that "they have every right to think for themselves and try to feel it out". Whilst he admits that he doesn't "agree with their opinions", he makes it clear that they should still be allowed a platform to speak regardless of their opinions.
You can see Boogie2988's video right here:
It's very important here, just as it was for Boogie in the video, to state that they he felt all the comments were "tasteless". However, he then begs viewers and the people behind the gaming media "establishment" to watch the conversations of these creators with a touch more empathy.
Boogie2988 then follows this by saying: "People are going to have opinions and ideas that they don't enjoy. And you have to treat that with a certain level of tolerance and understanding, because if you approach it with tolerance and understanding you might very well be able to convince that person of otherwise".
Unfortunately for Steven, since the video was released, he's received a lot of backlash.
A lot of the critiques I have gotten in the last 24 hours often presumes I am some kind of hitler'esque monster. I am assuredly not.— Boogie2988 (@Boogie2988) March 15, 2017
In addition to being labeled as a "white cis man protecting white cis men", he has been accused of being nice to the gaming community whereas he would treat other creators such as Sam Pepper very differently. Steven also thanks the "small percentage of the internet for [their] unkind and downright cruel response" as well as "the vast majority of [his viewers that] did agree or disagree civilly".
We'll keep you updated if Boogie2988 releases anymore opinions on the matter, but let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

A good article in DMReview (where normally I find much more about data warehousing and business intelligence than integration) on Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt about integration, especially for small-to-medium sized businesses that don't have IT budgets that look like the GDP of a small Pacific nation. I just love it when someone cuts through all the crap:
Integration is moving data elements from point A to point B with the necessary translation in between…Tier-one integration vendors have conditioned the market to believe that integration should cost millions of dollars and take years to implement. With today's offerings, this is simply no longer the case.
Couldn't have said it better myself.

N.A.S (Not A Sushi) — Hong Kong
我在項目中所扮演的角色:Concept Design, Interior Design, Design & Build
項目類型:餐飲, 室內
N.A.S (Not A Sushi) is a playful intent to introduce Gimbap, a Korean-style sushi to a wider audience and differentiate from Japanese maki rolls. A simple, light, clean brand image and interior design for a simple food. The design introduces subtle details through material textures. Wooden finishes provide warmth and highlight whilst complimenting the brand aesthetic. The shop front is a clean and light facade which contrasts from the organic messiness of the many local stores along the streets.

Bal tashchit
Bal tashchit (Hebrew: בל תשחית) ("do not destroy") is a basic ethical principle in Jewish law.
The principle is rooted in the Biblical law of Deuteronomy 20:19–20. In the Bible, the command is said in the context of wartime and forbids the cutting down of fruit trees in order to assist in a siege.
In early rabbinic law however, the bal tashchit principle is understood to include other forms of senseless damage or waste. For instance, the Babylonian Talmud applies the principle to prevent the wasting of lamp oil, the tearing of clothing, the chopping up of furniture for firewood, or the killing of animals.[1] In all cases, bal tashchit is invoked only for destruction that is deemed unnecessary. Destruction is explicitly condoned when the cause or need is adequate.
In contemporary Jewish ethics on Judaism and ecology, advocates often point to bal tashchit as an environmental principle. Jewish vegetarians often point to bal tashchit in justifying vegetarianism or veganism, arguing that an omnivorous diet is wasteful.[2][3]

- Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life. Bal Tashchit: the development of a Jewish environmental principle

... an omnivorous diet (one that includes meat) is wasteful and should be prohibited, since an omnivorous diet uses five times as much grain, over ten times as much water, over 15 times as much land and over 20 times as much energy as compared with a vegan diet.

I really wanted that domain name, and I typed it in the browser.
So it's parked at Frank Schilling's Domain Name Sales platform, which I'm familiar with.
So I made an inquiry to get a response and a quote back, as I don't place offers right away; I want to take the pulse of the seller first.
Surprisingly, the email response came back quickly. In fact, it arrived within minutes, something I always appreciate.
Splendid, a man of reason, I thought.
Skimming through the usual blurb which was part of the response template, I focused on the price.
Three thousand dollars.
The blood rose to my head.
Asking $3,000 for this ten year old .com, while the dot .net and .org had been registered before and were dropped?
I'll show that idiot.
I'm a really fast typist and in seconds I had a smart-ass response ready. I would show that crazy fool, this domain was worth $300 tops on a good day.
I came up with a couple of wise cracks, such as the option to get the .link for under $10 bucks and how we are going through a recession and a bad economy; he should be glad he's getting offers.
Yeah. That'd teach him wanting three grand!
I hit submit with a smirk on my face, convinced I'd hear back within minutes with a much lower counter offer for the domain.
The email arrived in seconds. It was an autoresponder, from a very familiar email address: my very own.
That idiot seller, was me.

Didn't you see your name at the bottom?
I have sometimes discovered I owned some names when searching whois for potential purchases. 🙂
That's funny !
yes once one owns a domain it mysteriously becomes worth ten times as much. Bit of a bummer for buyers, that

With Lord Myners resigning from his Board position this morning, it continues to be a tough time for The Co-operative Group – among the worst in its long history. Yet for all that, our research shows considerable goodwill at a public level with people hoping that the business can pull together.
By and large people are aware that this is just one co-operative and the wider mutual model is one that still carries a high degree of trust. There are over six thousand independent co-operatives across the UK, with a turnover of £36 billion. Only 6% of UK adults say, in polling research, that what has happened will change their view of co-operatives in general.
The financial results now due for the Co-operative Bank, like all audited accounts, will look back, but, however its final capital call is resolved, the bank itself is looking to the future. It may be a slow recovery path but it will remain distinctive in terms of its ethical position and will of course retain close connections with the wider co-operative sector.
As with The Co-operative Bank, The Co-operative Group has indicated that it will cut core costs in order to compete more effectively and this is a critical part of a wider business recovery plan which is now firmly in train. Any successful business needs effective governance, with change where needed, but in the short term, it is the performance and financial state of the Group's businesses that matters most.
What we are seeing within The Co-operative Group are the pains of change in a much more public setting than you would in any other business. When you are owned by seven million people, what you do will always be of public interest. Business, in this case, has become a spectator sport. Ultimately that transparency is a good thing, for public trust, but of course what happens is framed in part by that public and media coverage. If you design a boxing ring, then what you get is a fight.
In reality, we have much more agreement than disagreement on the next steps. The principle of reform is accepted, so there is indeed now a consensus for change. But how to change is not yet agreed and that's not unreasonable. There are pressures to move fast, but I have always said that there can also be unintended consequences when you move to something entirely new in governance terms, which is what the proposals of the independent review led by Lord Myners represent. The way to manage overall risk for The Co-operative Group is to test, refine and get the governance right.
Lord Myners, who will still complete his independent review of governance this month, proposes a 'twin peaks' model, with an expert Board, focused on commercial performance, and a wider Membership Council, focused on social goals. He wants to bring The Co-operative Group into line with the practice of other consumer co-operatives of having direct elections to the Board from the full membership. But he has not published the full proposals in anything but outline form, so it is not unreasonable for there to be debate on how something like this could work in practice.
It is true that this may yet spill over into conflict or into gridlock, if we move into megaphone debate, with critics taking aim at each other, saying that this is the end of the business or the end of its mutual values. The Co-operative Group will survive if it successfully navigates both challenges.
The traditions of co-operative action, which are about listening and dialogue, ought to help.
What I am confident will emerge over the next period is a strategy for a transitional process of getting the business from where it is to where it wants to be. It doesn't need every single actor signed up, but it does need sufficient consensus – failure to take people along on this journey could simply create a new set of problems down the line.
It remains a relatively simple step, once Lord Myners has reported, and if the leadership is there to start this, for dialogue among the key representatives to lead to a governance reform package that is timely, best of class and fit for purpose for a modern mutual.

16 Jul Work Experience 2019
For the first working week of July, Chelsea Academy felt noticeably quieter as Year 10 were out on work experience! It was our most successful year yet, and students made an overwhelmingly positive impression on their employers, with glowing feedback still pouring in from the employers themselves and the staff who visited them.
The range of employers was more impressive than ever; including Sky Media, Virgin Atlantic, Islamic Relief, BigGroup, Camp America, UCL Art History Lab, London City Airport, Grazing Hill Law Partners, New Black Films….. amongst many others. Here are just a few pictures.
Something that never ceases to amaze us about WEX week is the generosity of our neighbours who invest so much time and energy into giving the students opportunities that they might not otherwise have had.
Special thanks go to our neighbours: Lots Road Auction House, Worlds End Studios, Holland Park Dental Practice, New Kings Rd Dental, Winberg Design, Heatherley School of Fine Art, Worlds End Under 5s centre, Servite Primary School, Marlborough Primary School, The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Imagine Spa Kensington, Earl's Court Medical Centre, Dr Hala Health and Beauty Clinic, Lockonego HairDressers, Queens Park Rangers Football Club, Forest and Co Solicitors, EPIC Youth Club and too many others to mention! You are all stars and we really couldn't do this without you.
In fact the feedback from students shows that they found it extremely valuable and they were very proud of themselves for going outside of their comfort zone and overcoming the challenges of the working world. We are super proud of each and every one of them too!
It can be very difficult to find a WEX placement if you are in Year 10. This year we trialled 'Immersion Weeks' in Tech, British Luxury and Construction as an alternative for 45 students. The idea was to open up the world of work in these three areas of growth in the London labour market- so that students could explore the vast range of roles available within one of the three sectors.
For Tech Week, students visited Google HQ, and spent a day on the 'Silicone Roundabout' undertaking workshops at two different London Start-ups. They went to an exhibition about how Artificial Intelligence will affect the future of careers, and they presented their research to an esteemed panel to develop those key skills that employers are crying out for.
The 'British Luxury' group had a talk on the sector from Charlotte Keesing of Walpole Group, followed by a VIP tour of Harrods before it opened its doors to the public, and a private Q&A with the Managing Director. They also visited Stephen Einhorn who designs jewellery for famous films, to learn about the desperate need for apprentices in craft to meet demand in the UKs successful creative industries.
Construction week was designed by Youth Construction Trust and Mace, and focussed on sustainable development. A highlight was visiting Lancer Square for a day on site where they built wooden structures, and a day of employability training run by the incredible Mace HR team. Each of these students will be offered follow up mentoring to guide them into the lucrative construction industry should they choose it. Here are some pictures of 'WEX Immersion Week':
On a personal note, it is my last year of having the challenge and the privilege of coordinating work experience for our Year 10 students and I am very grateful to Year 10 for making it the best year yet! Thank you to our academy community and especially all of the parents who helped by offering placements for their own child, or even someone else's. It is an incredible experience to be a part of and I will never forget it.

Head of Sixth Form and CEIAG Leader

Beyond the sporting aspect, Critérium du Dauphiné undertakes to support sustainable mobility. Cycling embodies the ecological means of transport par excellence and fits in perfectly to the Tour de France's policy: Riding into the Future.
Collection zones
In each stage of the race, riders will be able to use 3 collection zones to recover the items they have discarded (before and after the refreshment zone and around 20 km from the finish line) that have been cleaned by the organisers.
Natura 2 000 areas
Care for the environment and the conservation of biodiversity are a priority in the organisation of Critérium du Dauphiné. The survey firm BIOTOPE has worked with the Critérium du Dauphiné since 2011 on incidence studies on the Natura 2000 network (a Europe-wide ecological network of nature conservation areas). In 2019, there are 29 zones in 9 French Departments which will be crossed and protected by the race.
Fighting for inclusion: disabled riders take the stage!
For the third time in a row, the race will roll out the red carpet for a team representing the French Federation for Adapted Sports (athletes with intellectual disabilities and mental disorders) on the course of the individual time trial on Wednesday 12 June. This team will tackle the same course as the pros just one hour before the race.
Eager to make it easier for the blind and visually impaired to access all the information about the race, ASO has joined forces with HandiCaPZéro to create a special edition for the third year in a row. Fans can now get the road book in Braille, large characters and audio for free (CD and download).
The Critérium du Dauphiné live section at handicapzero.org will also provide key updates throughout the entire race.

To record streaming video from video sharing sites such as YouTube and Vimeo are easy. If you have found a great video and want to grab it before it's taken down, using a video recording software can help you out. There are many free software's you can use and if someone is trying to sell you a recording software, they are probably trying to rip you off because there's no reason to pay for things you can get for free. I have been using two software's for a long time now and I very pleased with its performance.
Free Video Recording Software
DownloadHelper is a free Firefox extension which you can use to download videos from the web with just one click. This tool supports a lot of streaming video sites, so if you are looking for a recording tool, DownloadHelper is a really good choice.
You can also convert files to different formats once you have downloaded them which is a great thing if you can't watch certain formats on your computer or TV. It's easy to use DownloadHelper and you can change download folders and video settings without any problems. I recommend DownloadHelper for every computer user who watch streaming video.
JDownloader is another software that I have been using a lot. It can grab YouTube Videos and other similar files from video streaming sites and download them to your computer. JDownloader is more of a download manager and works very well with file hosts such as rapidshare and hotfile but you can use it for other files too.
JDownloader can extract rar and zip archives instantly after download which is convenient. If your browser is downloading files very slow, you could give JDownloader a try because a download manager can usually download files faster than a browser.
Is It Safe to Download Free Video Recording Software?
Yes, but make sure you read the installation guide and tick off any extra addon software because free software developers often put in extra software's such as speed up my pc and web search toolbars, to make money.
It cost money to develop software's and they will try to squeeze out some bucks wherever they can, so just don't install a free software, make sure you follow the guide to avoid getting your hard drive filled with unneeded tools. It's very annoying to get tools you don't want and it can be tricky to uninstall them.
Downloading files from DownloadHelper and JDownloader websites is safe but make sure you don't download files from unknown websites, forums or Pay-Per-Download sites. I had problems to remove browser hijackers after I had downloaded a software from website that looked legit but obviously was malicious.
It's very easy to not think before acting and it has nothing to do with bad common sense or poor intelligence. Free software's is great but bad people are taking advantage of it so don't just download a software and install it without thinking twice. Anyway, I hope you can use DownloadHelper and JDownloader to download files and videos.
Premium Video Recording Tool
If you want to download and record videos from almost every online streaming services, then AllMyTube from Wondershare is a premium software that can do exactly that. You can download from over 10 000 streaming services and convert the videos into formats like MP4, AVI, MPG, MKV, WMV, M4V, MOV, ASF and more. Allmytube supports over 150 video formats.
You can extract audio from videos and save it to all major music formats like MP3, M4A, AC3, WMA, WAV, OGG, APE, MKA, AU, AIFF, FLAC, MRB. You can also download mp3's directly from YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo and more. With Allmytube, it's easier than ever to download your favorite videos.

Following on from the huge success of its debut back in May, Viola Nights hosts its second event at the Whirled Art Cinema on the 27th July, featuring two exciting artists with a very different take on electronic music.
From a small village in the Swedish countryside, bringing what could be described as Northern Lights folk-tronica, come girl/boy duo The Deer Tracks. Their gorgeous sound is like some elfin telex from another universe, an electromagnetic mist of melodies and harmonic noise. Critically acclaimed 2008 debut album 'Aurora' received stellar reviews across the board includingThe Guardian and NME.
The band then reached an even larger audience with a full song placement in the hit show Grey's Anatomy.
They will shortly release their second long player 'The Archer Triology Pt 2' as part of a trio of releases.
"The Deer Tracks combine folk-ishly delicate melodies with glitch techno techniques." The Guardian
"Beautiful and ethereal songs that are epic in both scope and, occasionally, length." The Fly
Gyratory System is the sound of electronica played by clockwork and steam-powered sequencers.
Combining acoustic and electronic sounds they draw on sources from post-punk, to jazz, to Krautrock, to early house music.
Two albums to date, 'The Sound-Board Breathes', 2009 + 'New Harmony', 2011 have met with great critical praise and substantial radio support. The band has toured the UK extensively.
When not creating Gyratory System's blend of heavily treated wind instruments, synths and processed percussion, producer/trumpeter Dr. Blick is a constitutional historian and author who once worked at No. 10 Downing Street. His diverse musical background includes work with artists such as Damo Suzuki of Can, David Gedge of the Wedding Present and drum n' bass DJ Grooverider.
"oddly delightful…brain tinglingly electrifying" – NME live review
"gorgeous" – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6music
"If David Cronenberg had managed to create his own BBC Radiophonic Workshop to score his films, their music might have sounded something like Gyratory System…a collection of little jewels… " The Quietus
"Mind-boggingly brilliant bonkers electronica" – Huw Stephens, 1FM
£6 advance tickets 7.30pm, Wednesday 27 July @ Whirled Art Cinema, London
