Berlin-based GoEuro, a well-funded travel planner platform announced today that it has inked a distribution partnership with Chinese travel booking platform Qunar. It hopes to capture some of the spending power of Chinese tourists wanting to take less traveled routes around Europe.
The firm told TechCrunch this is the first partnership it has signed with another travel platform to provide its core data, and its first move into Asia.
Qunar's users will be able to search and book rail tickets to thousands of European destinations, via the GoEuro integration, including small towns and villages as well as major cities and tourism hubs.
Naren Shaam, CEO and founder of GoEuro, said: "With over 10 million visitors to Europe from China annually, our new partnership with Qunar, will provide us with the opportunity to highlight new European destinations to this rapidly growing market."
GoEuro said it makes money through "commercial relationships" with its partners, which include transport providers like bus and train operators. Now international travel search sites also want to bolt a European offering onto their own platforms without having to do the legwork of building out a local transport network themselves.
GoEuro said it has more than 500 European transport operators integrated into its multi-model travel search platform, and is able to serve up results for 13 European destinations: the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic and (most recently) Sweden.
GoEuro launched about four years ago and has since attracted about USD 145 million in funding demonstrating the attractiveness of the multi-modal sector. The firm raised USD 70 million in a round announced last autumn.
The partnership with Qunar will see its product integrated with Qunar's platform to — as GoEuro puts it — "capitalize on the brand's strong reputation in China, and take advantage of the country's growing independent travel market".
The partnership initially only covers rail tickets, but GoEuro says plans are in place to build the necessary API connections to include bus offerings from over 500 European companies to Chinese visitors too.
In 2015 Ctrip made a "significant" minority investment in its former rival Qunar which now continues to operate its business independently.
In a statement on the GoEuro-Qunar partnership, a Ctrip Group spokesperson said younger Chinese travelers especially are looking to explore "off the beaten track destinations". "It is vital that we offer an easy to use digital platform to enable this," they added.

(FSR 58, 3) 460 Feb. 24, 1958 Conceicao Almeida (Brazil). Three witnesses, among 0305 them Dr. C. da Costa, decided to sleep in their car when the engine stalled and could not be started again. Then a very large, blue silvery object appeared and came to ground level with a swinging motion. was shaped like a sphere surrounded by a flat ring. When they tried to approach it, the object maneu- vered in a strange "aerial dance." (Lor. I 143) 461 Mar. 02, 1958 Tampa (Florida). A civilian source was said to have 1945 observed a balloon-shaped object land on the airfield then take off slowly and hover at 250 m altitude be- fore disappearing. It showed a bright light source. (Atic) 462 Mar. 14, 1958 Healdsburg (California). Two persons, in their back- 0845 yard, saw a round object 1 m in diameter come from the west and land 15 m away. It took off toward the east, turned south, and was lost to sight. (Atic) 463 Mar. 19, 1958 Moscow (USSR). Near Moscow, a large, disk-shaped object was seen on the ground. It rose in a spiral mo- tion, then took off and was lost to sight. (Personal) 464 Apr., 1958 Maceio (Brazil). Near Paripueira, jeweler Wilson 0600 Lustosa and numerous fishermen saw an object hover- ing 15 m above the sea, 40 m away. It was lens-shaped, about 12 m thick, and showed portholes with a glow- ing red light. Below the object the water seemed to be "boiling" or attracted upward, while a soft, whirring sound was heard. For one hour the object kept going up and down. (SBEDV) 465 Apr. 15, 1958 Tabladitas (Argentina). Approximate date. In the mountains, about 14 km from Abra Pampa, a lumi- nous object 30 m in diameter came to ground level. (Quincy) 466 Apr. 17, 1958 Abaatu (Brazil). All night long, three hovering disks 1925 were seen by several witnesses in this area. A railroad employee, Mr. Cavalheiro, and the station chief, J. Machado, wired the Tupancireta police, and all saw the objects coming to ground level about 1 km away. At times they appeared to exchange signals. One of the disks flew over the station itself, leaving a lumi- nous trail and considerable heat. (LDLN) 467 May. 02, 1958 Bogota (Colombia). Eight people working in a wood saw a green creature with scaly skin and very long arms. The pointed nails of its long fingers nearly touched the ground. (Dischi Volanti, by L. Bul- garini) 468 May. 27, 1958 Boa del Tigre (Argentina). Remo dell'Armellina was late driving a truck toward Santa Fe when he saw a figure, 3 m tall, blocking the road. He went toward it with an iron bar but could not approach because of the stench and the blinding phosphorescent light emanating from it. It had very long arms, a scaly body, and wore a flight coverall. The witness fainted; nothing was left to be seen when he regained consciousness. (Perego; Bulgarini) 469 Aug. 16, 1958 Leman Lake (Switzerland). A dozen people out on 1700 the lake in perfect weather saw a bright light coming down. They stopped their boat as it came to hover about 15 m above them. It was saucer-shaped, 10 m in diameter, with a cabin showing several windows on top. The outer disk below the cabin was spinning. As it came down toward the water, a noticeable cur- rent was created. No noise or occupants were noticed. After several leaps in mid-air, the craft flew off at "unbelievable" speed. (Personal) 470 Sep. 01, 1958 Laval (France). About 11 km before Laval, a busi- 2130 nessman coming from Paris suddenly saw a motion- less object, 10 m above ground, to the left of the road, 150 m away. It was shaped like two cones with a com- mon base and showed two rows of about ten openings in the middle section. It seemed about 20 m wide, metallic, with a light similar to that of a red traffic light shining through the windows. The witness had time to stop and maneuvered to get the object in his headlight beams. Throughout the observation a whistling sound such as that of a jet aircraft was heard. The object rose very slowly, flew off faster climbing out of sight. (119) 471 Sep. 21, 1958 Sheffield Lake (Ohio). A circular, flat object, 7 m in 0300 diameter, 2 m thick, hovering 1.5 m above ground, and making a jetlike sound was seen from a house by a civilian woman. Its color was that of aluminum; it had a wobbling motion and emitted gray smoke be- fore rising again and taking off. (Atic) 472 Oct. 27, 1958 Union Dale (Pennsylvania). An object resembling a large gray cigar with an assembly tail flew at treetop height, making a strong "swishing" sound. (Atic) 473 Oct. 31, 1958 Caledon East (Canada). A civilian reported an 1550 eliptical, aluminum-colored object at 2 km altitude, coming down to 4 m, flying up and down by sudden jumps, stopping at ground level less than 200 m away for five min. A red light appeared at one end of the object, which gradually took a fiery color, then ex- ploded. The witness ran away. (Atic) 474 Nov., 1958 Braemar (Scotland). Two soldiers of the Territorial 0500 Army on an exercise near Ballater heard a "gurgling noise" and saw two figures, over 2 m tall, dressed in peculiar suits. As they fled, they heard a "swishing" noise and saw a large disk flying at ground level, which then swooped over their heads and away, pulsating and leaving a sparkling trail. Witnesses were in a state of shock. (Humanoids 5) 475 Nov. 17, 1958 Soviet Union, exact location not revealed. A luminous 2203 object, with an apparent diameter greater than that of the full moon, was seen coming down from a high altitude, hovering at tree height, then landing. It was observed for two min. (Atic) 476 Nov. 23, 1958 Cojutepeque (San Salvador). An engineer, Julio M. 2335 Ladaleto, stopped when his car hit a can rolling on the road, then observed an object about 35 m away. It was shaped like a lamp shade with an upper trans- parent sphere emitting a bluish, pulsating light, 12 m diameter, 7 m high, resting on three half-spheres. An occupant 2.5 m tall was photographed by the witness as he crossed the road and appeared to inspect the craft. He wore a blue coverall and luminescent heel- less boots, and had a bald head. The observation lasted 10 min, after which the object took off with a whining sound, sparks and smoke. The following day, before he had revaled anything about the case, Ladeleto was contacted by strange "newsmen" who appeared to know all the details of it. (Settimana Incom. Sep. 16, 62) 477 Dec. 20, 1958 Hoganas (Sweden). Near Domsten, Hans Gustavs- 0255 son, 35, and Stig Rydberg, 30, saw something in the woods and stopped their car to observe it. They found a disk about 5 m wide set on a tripod. All of a sudden they were attacked by four gray-colored creatures de- scribed as "fluid," but one witness reached the car and blew the horn for help. The beings fled and the craft took off, emitting "paralyzing vibrations." (Lor. II 56) 478 Dec. 20, 1958 Clermont-Ferrand (France). Approximate date. A 1600 disk of 20 m diameter was observed and caused dam- age on the ground. (Quincy) 479 Dec. 28, 1958 Portglenone (Ireland). A black flying object, 2 m afternoon wide, cut a tree in two, 3 m above ground, and did not stop. The tree in question is 70 cm wide and 13 m tall. This event was observed by a farmer named Bennett. (FSR 59, 2) 480 Jan. 1959 Stratford-on-Avon (Great Britain). Leonard Hewins, 1715 of Tredington, saw a fiery, round object come down from the east and land 100 m away. While a blue haze formed, three figures emerged from the object and seemed to sit down with clumsy movements. The wit- ness was unable to move until the craft and its occu- pants took off swiftly, leaving a trail of stars. (FSR 67, 5) 481 Feb., 1959 Umiat (Alaska). 350 km east of Umiat, trappers saw a red, disk-shaped object less than 4 km away, going up and down, sometimes nearly touching the ground. It circled and went away. (FSR 59, 3) 482 Feb. 28, 1959 Cedar City (Iowa). Private Gerry Irwin stopped his car to investigate what he thought was a crashing plane. He was later found unconscious. Sequels of the incident (fainting, amnesia and his return to the site in a trancelike state) are sometimes quoted as evi- dence of psychologial experience correlated with the observation of the luminous object. Irwin deserted, and his subsequent whereabouts are unknown. (121; Lorenzen; Magonia) 483 Mar., 1959 Kolobreg (Poland). On the Polish coast, not far from Kolobreg, soldiers saw the sea become turbulent as a triangular object, 4 m in size, emerged, circled the barracks, and flew away at high speed. (122) 484 Mar. 13, 1959 Pumong (Australia). Near Claypans, 150 km north- 1410 east of Adelaide, Carl Towill, postmaster, and Percy Briggs, mail carrier, saw a dome-shaped object take off from a field 400 m away. It resembled a huge, bril- liant circus tent, studded with lights that kept chang- ing from red to blue. They approached within 200 m, then saw it rise, hover, and shoot off at immense speed toward the south. They had observed it for 10 min. Mr. Briggs was questioned by investigators from Woomera Rocket range. (FSR 59,5) 485 Mar. 31, 1959 Port Elliot (Australia). Barry Neale was driving home 1330 to Goolwa when he saw on the ground a glowing, reddish-orange object with a row of portholes. It il- luminated the trees, was about 5 m wide. He got within 300 m of it, and drove around the wooded area in time to see it take off. No radioactivity was found at the spot. (FSR 59,5) 486 Apr. 15, 1959 Svendborg (Denmark). Between Svendborg and Ny- evening borg, Ove Christensen, coming home after work on his bicycle, was stopped on the road by a disk-shaped object spinning at ground level. After five minutes it began chasing him, flying 6 m above him for 5 m. The object was luminous and seemed made of glass. (FSR 59, 3) 487 Apr. 29, 1959 Grassy Plains (Canada). Alex Gillis and Jerry Monk- 2230 man saw from a hilltop an egg-shaped object in the middle of the road. It was about 5 m long, the top part emitting a bright light. The object went away silently. Fearing ridicule, the witnesses reported the incident one month later. (FSR 59, 6) 488 May. 20, 1959 Tres Lomas (Argentina). Two hunters saw a disk- 1730 shaped object resting on the ground 150 m away. It looked like an aluminum craft about 2.5 m high, with a dome on top. Grass flattened. (Challenge 53) 489 Jun. 21, 1959 The Willows (South Africa). A civilian woman ob- 2000 served a saucer-shaped object hovering 5 m above ground. It was bathed in an orange glow, similar to that of a dying fire. It flew away horizontally and was lost to sight behind a hill. (FSR 59, 6) 490 Jun. 26, 1959 Boianai (New Guinea). Many witnesses, among 1845 them Fr. W. B. Gill, head of a local mission, saw an orange object that hovered in mid-air. Four engines were visible on its "deck" and a beam of blue light was emitted upward from it. The object did not come to ground level, but its position above the ocean was almost on a level with the observers standing on the hill. (123; Anatomy 145) 491 Jul. 13, 1959 Blenheim (New Zealand). Mrs. Moreland saw a disk- 0530 shaped object as she was milking cows. It was about 10 m diameter, had two intense, green lights and two rows of jets around the rim, emitting orange flames. Inside a glass dome on top were two men dressed in aluminumlike suits. The craft did not land, but took off at great speed with a high-pitched sound. Heat sensation. (124; Challenge 24) 492 Jul. 14, 1959 Prince of Wales Island (Australia). Hunters reported the landing of a red object on the island. Other hunt- ers saw a similar object near Karumba Lodge. (123) 493 Aug. 09, 1959 Sombrero (Tierra del Fuego). Mr. Uribe, a petroleum 1954 engineer, and two other witnesses had to stop when they ran out of fuel; they observed a light swinging like a pendulum, coming close to the ground. It ap- pared as a large, vertical, egg-shaped object which made a "whooshing" sound. Closest approach was 120 m. Estimated height: 2 m; width, 1.5 m. When Uribe aimed a rifle at the object, it went out of sight within seconds. (Lor. IlI 14) 494 Aug. 12, 1959 Brion (Spain).

Engine noise, not similar to helicopter. (Personal) 495 Aug. 13, 1959 Freeport (Texas). A bright, flying object passed low 2130 over a car, whose engine stalled, and landed in a wooded area. Six witnesses in two separate groups observed the object, and the police were called. The dense underbrush prevented investigation of the site. (APRO Sep., 59) 496 Aug. 25, 1959 Werdehl-Eveking (Germany). Near Hagen, Lutz 1100 Holtmann went toward a bright object in a forest, and fainted when he got close to it. When he re- gained consciousness, he saw it take off silently and vertically. It was round, had a tripod landing gear, two rows of bright openings, and was about 30 m in diameter. (Nachrichten Oct., 59) 497 Sep. 07, 1959 Wallingford (Kentucky). A bluish, disk-shaped object was observed at ground level by a mail carrier.

(130; FSR 61,1) 512 Nov. 13, 1960 La Londe (France). Remi Carbonnier, 45, was 0245 awakened by a green light illuminating his room. He went to the window and saw a bright, round object, 6 m in diameter, resting on three legs on the railroad tracks 300 m away. It was emitting orange flashes. A dome on top of the object started spinning, the legs disappeared, and the object rose vertically above the trees, without noise. Less than 20 sec later, it had cleared the hill and was lost to sight in the southwest. The next day the witness went to the site and found no trace, but his dog turned around and ran away, (131) 513 Dec. 09, 1960 Carignan (France). A dog barking at a glowing object 2030 resting in a park. Three witnesses observed it from separate locations.

Reynolds and his son were 2045 camping near the water. They observed an object on the ground with four windows in it. There was a fire nearby, and four figures could be seen between it and the object. At 2130 it had disappeared. Witnesses in Wodonga, West Albury, Wangaratta and Tallangatta independently observed an unknown object in flight. (Austr. FSR 5) 517 Apr. 18, 1961 Eagle River (Wisconsin). J. Simonton heard a whin- 1100 ing sound and saw an object, 10 m in diameter, 4 m high, with exhaust pipes around the periphery, land near his house. A door was opened and a man ap- peared. About 1.50 m tall, he wore a black, turtle-neck pullover with a white band at the belt, and black trousers with a vertical white band along the side. Two figures were visible inside the object. Simonton filled a jug with water, returned it to the man, who gave him three ordinary pancakes, and the craft took off. (Atic; Magonia) 518 May. 03, 1961 Union Mills (Indiana). Approximate date. A hemi- 2200 spherical craft with portholes, resting on a road, took off when a car came near it. Estimated diameter was 4 m, height 2.5 m, bearing "fluorescent lights."

An object emerged, hovering at 10 m altitude for a brief time, its underside glowing, and it left obliquely at high speed toward the northeast. Its shape was similar to a cone resting on a disk. (Settimana Incom. Jan. 6,63) 520 Jul. 03, 1961 Ryde (Great Britain). An object resembling a hover- 0015 craft, having five windows through which an orange light was shining, hovered about 20 m above the trees. It left suddenly at high speed. (FSR 61, 6) 521 Jul. 17, 1961 Las Vegas (Nevada). One mile north of Bonny 0200 Spring Ranch, on U.S. Highway 91, two civilians in a car observed in the rear-view mirror a low-flying object that overtook their car, followed by a rush of cold air. It stopped, circled the vehicle, flew off and was lost to sight behind the mountains, where it may have landed. In the course of an exceptionally complete investigation by military authorities, however, no evi- dence of a landing was discovered. (Atic) 522 Aug. 12, 1961 Kansas City (Kansas). Two Drake University stu- 2100 dents saw a large object shaped like an oval with "running boards" bearing a series of lights. It hovered for about 4 min at tree-height, shot straight up, climbed away toward the east, then disappeared from view in five sec or so. (Atic) 523 Aug. 25, 1961 Toulouse (France). Approximate date. Five persons observed a luminous, yellow sphere, 8 m in diameter, flying about 10 m above the road. Horizontal and vertical bands of darker tone gave the impression of "windows." The object flew up very fast when the car reached town. (LDLN) 524 Sep. 19, 1961 Indian Head (New Hampshire). Mr. and Mrs. Hill 2200 saw a lenticular object with a double row of portholes and half-a-dozen dark figures working at control panels inside, when they stopped to investigate a light following their car. They became afraid and drove away. A "beeping sound" enveloped the car, and they felt a prickling sensation before losing consciousness. When they came to, they were driving near Ashland. A series of nightmares and medically controlled hyp- nosis brought back what apparently was the memory of their abduction by the occupants of the object. (Fuller; Magonia) 525 Sep. 30, 1961 La Porte (Indiana). Eight km south of La Porte, 16- 2200 year-old Dennis Bealor saw a large sphere of orange light rise ahead of him on the road. He was so fright- ened that he lost control of his bike and left the road. (Hartle 158) 526 Dec. 21, 1961 Lafayette (Indiana). Jerry Hislope, 20, was driving 2145 to Kentland when he saw a glowing white object, 3 m in diameter, 1 m thick, dive at him, flying 3 m above the ground. He stopped to observe it, but the object flew away. (APRO Mar., 62) 527 Jan. 08, 1962 Catamarca (Argentina). A truck driver and two other night men observed two powerful lights lost sight of thern, but later saw a craft on the ground 150 m to the side of the road. It took off at high speed when illuminated by the headlights. Farther away, two objects ma- neuvered above the road leading to La Bajada. As the police were driving to the scene, they saw one of the craft on the ground near Loma Brava. (CODOVNI 1962) 528 Feb. 09, 1962 Aston Clinton (Great Britain). Mr. Wildam, of 0330 Luton, noticed that his car was gradually losing speed as he approached a bright, oval thing hovering 10 m above the road.

Mario Zuccula, 27, was walk- evening ing home when he suddenly felt a current of cold air. He was paralyzed with fear when he saw a white ob- ject, 10 m in diameter, metallic in appearance which hovered close to the ground. A metallic cylinder was lowered from the craft, and two little men about 1.30 m tall, came out through a door lighted by a source inside the cylinder. A low voice similar to the sound of an electronic device told him they would return at the end of the fourth moon, one hour before dawn, with a message. The beings had their heads covered with a hood. (FSR 62, 4) 530 Apr. 11, 1962 Sarouno (Italy). Between Saronno and Legnano, evening Benazzi and three other witnesses saw a peculiar craft fly above them and land on the road. It was intensely luminous. (APRO Sep., 62) 531 Apr. 30, 1962 Mount Eba (Italy). Eugenio Siragusa, 43, claimed night to have met two men of normal height, clad in diving suits, with belts emitting intermittent yellow-green blue light, who delivered to him a peace message in Italian. The voice had a metallic tone. Also observed was a very dazzling object, 15 m in diameter. (FSR 63, 1) 532 May., 1962 Jujuy (Argentina). Approximate date. Four people 0400 whose car had run out of gas, were waiting in a driz- zling rain when a bright light, first thought to be from a car, approached them. It turned out to be a low- flying object that landed. It was round with a blink- ing light, and stayed there about one hour before taking off at high speed (APRO Jul., 63) 533 May. 12, 1962 Pampa Province (Argentina). V. and G. Tomasini 0410 and H. Zenobi saw an object on the ground 100 m away from the road. It looked like a railroad car and was illuminated. As they came close to it, the object took off, crossed the road at low altitude, rose with a flame, and separated into two sections that flew away in different directions. It made a humming noise and was seen on the ground for one min. Within a circle 60 m in radius, grass was burned, insects were carbon- ized, and the ground was "petrified." Sample analysis was done by the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base. (SBEDV 30; 132; CODOVNI 1962) 534 May. 13, 1962 Uncativo (Argentina). Dozens of witnesses in Un- 0400 cativo, Cordoba, Carranza, and Los Molinos Dam observed a very luminous, elongated object with a bright trail. Soon thereafter, fog filled a wooded sec- tion near Uncativo, and a landed object resembling a small house was observed. (133; CODOVNI 1962) 535 May. 22, 1962 Winifreda (Argentina). A woman was hospitalized after her observation of a strange object that landed, and of the "ugly" giant beings who emerged from it. Approximate date. (135) 536 Jun. 16, 1962 Prince of Wales Island (Australia). Four persons from Thursday Island, among them E. Thorpe, were climbing a hill when they observed a silvery object on a nearby hillside, less than 2 km away. It could not be located again when they reached the other side of the hill. (FSR 62,5) 537 Jun. 26, 1962 Verona (Italy). For about one hour, 20-year-old evening Roberto Poregozzo, his mother, Maria, and his 25- year-old sister, Luisa, observed a silvery disk, the ap- parent diameter of the moon, maneuvering in the sky near Santa Anastasia church. They finally went home. About 0300, one of them was awakened by a feeling of intense cold and perceived a greenish light in the room. In the window a sharply defined human shape, delineating a semi-transparent body, was visible. The apparition had a huge bald head. The witness screamed, awakening the two others, and they saw the apparition shrink and vanish "like a TV image when one turns off the set." (FSR 63, 2) 538 Jul. 30, 1962 Pasnembi (Brazil). A man driving near Pasnembi stopped when his engine failed and observed a cylindrial object, described as "a bottle with two necks," about 40 m long, 15 m high, which had landed on the road. Two men (one at either end of the craft), appeared to be changing some luminous signals. This lasted 10 min and the craft took off at high speed. In Alta, a number of people reported a bright object moving at high altitude. (136; FSR 62, 6) 539 Jul. 30, 1962 Bajeola Grande (Argentina). Roberto Mievres, 17, was riding his motorcycle when a tall being, with a head like a watermelon and three eyes, appeared as the engine stalled. The apparition snatched the boy's scarf, but he ran away and came back with a group of people, who found the scarf on the ground, discovered some traces and observed an unknown craft flying away. (CODOVNI 1962) 540 Aug. 02, 1962 Camba Punat Airport (Argentina). Luis Harvey, air- port manager, and his staff thought that an un- announced aircraft was about to land, as they saw a luminous object circling at high speed. It came down to hover about 1 m above the runway for some four min. It was spherical, spinning, and emitted flashes of blue, green and orange. When approached, it took off at very high speed. (FSR 64, 4) 541 Aug. 17, 1962 Duas Pontes (Brazil). Rivalino da Silva, a diamond evening prospector, told his associates that he had seen two strange dwarfs digging a hole near his house. They ran away as he came near them, and moments later an object took off from behind the bushes. It was shaped like a hat and surrounded with a red glow. (APRO Sep.,62) 542 Aug. 19, 1962 Duas Pontes (Brazil). Raimundo, the son of Rivalino night da Silva (see previous case), was awakened by the sound of steps and saw "a weird shadow" in the room. It was small and not human in shape. Voices were heard saying, "This one looks like Rivalino," and later that they would kill him. The family stayed on the alert all night. (APRO Sep., 62) 543 Aug. 20, 1962 Duas Pontes (Brazil). Raimundo da Silva (see previ- ous cases) testified before the police that while work- ing in a field, he saw two spherical objects hovering 2 m above ground, a few meters from the house. One was black with an antenna-like protrusion and a small tail; the other was black and white. Both emitted a humming sound and a flickering fire through an open- ing. The boy's father warned him to stay away as Rivalino walked toward the objects, praying. When he was 2 m away, the two spheres merged into one, raising dust from the ground and spreading a yellow mist that enveloped the man. The boy ran after his father, noting that the cloud had "an acrid smell." As it dissolved, everything had vanished. Police in- vestigation, headed by Lieutenant Lisboa, failed to reveal any clue. Many terrified people left the area. (APRO Sep., 62) 544 Sep., 1962 Orland (California). A. T. Gray, a dairy rancher, 2145 thought some lights in a field were those of a car. When coming nearer, he realized the object was ob- long with blunt edges and hovered about 7 m above the ground, making no noise. When Gray was 50 m away, the object came toward him, rose, and took off toward the southwest. (APRO Jul., 63) 545 Sep. 05, 1962 Mount Manfre (Italy). Second observation by Mr. night Siragusa (Case 531), who saw two figures over 2.10 m tall. The light from their belts prevented him from seeing them in detail. A large, spinning object, 25 m wide, top-shaped, hovered nearby. "From the under part, a metallic cylinder over 3 m long reached down almost to touch the road, with a small door, a sort of lift." (FSR 62, 6) 546 Sep. 13, 1962 Overfield (Great Britain). Myra Jones was driving 2320 between Overfield and Norris Hill when she saw a luminous, gray object, larger than a car with a dome on top. It was flying at the altitude of the Phone poles, slowly spinning. Dark spots were visible on the underside. It nearly touched the car, then gave a whistling sound and flew away. (137; FSR 62, 6) 547 Sep. 15, 1962 Oradell (New Jersey). Two bright disks were first seen 1700 at 1700, then were seen again at 1800, at the state line. Two witnesses saw one round object with a fin on top and another under it at 1950, and reported that it was going down toward the Oradell reservoir. Three young men saw and heard the object as it touched the water. Another witness called police. The luminous object took off a few minutes later. Official investigation described it as bright, surrounded with a glow, the apparent size of a small plane 1 km away. It left toward the south. (Atic) 548 Sep. 18, 1962 Barcelos (Brazil). Three men working in a rubber plantation saw a large, disk-shaped object hover above the river. It emitted sparks, was of silvery color, and very brilliant. It eventually rose straight up at high speed. Disappearance of cattle was noticed in the area during that period and blamed on the same cause. (APRO Jan., 63) 549 Oct. 24, 1962 Horsetooth Reservoir (Colorado). Undocumented claim that a landing took place. No traces. (NICAP Oct., 62) 550 Oct. 28, 1962 Norwood (Australia). Mrs. E. D. Silvester was driv- 1930 ing with her three children when an illuminated oval object landed near the road. She watched it for 40 min, and reported seeing a man wearing a helmet and gas mask in the vicinity of the object. (FSR 63, 4) 551 Nov., 1962 Var (France). A garage owner was driving through a evening rainstorm when he suddenly saw a group of figures 80 m away. He slowed down as they went away jerkily, and observed that they were bizarre, birdlike creatures. As they rushed toward the car, he drove past them in terror and saw them going back toward a luminous, blue object hovering in a field. They en- tered it as if "sucked into it," and a dull sound was heard before the object flew off. (FSR 68, 60)

Always nice when it happens for real.
Adjusted for inflation since 1930, of course.
Even if it took 11 phone calls today to sort out.
Pity I can't bill for the time, but solvency is under-rated, until you don't have it.
Achievment unlocked.

My bank just canceled the card I use to access the account. It's an out of state bank so that's not wonderful. Several unanswered messages later I come to find it's because I ordered airline tickets and accommodation for my yearly trip overseas. I did notify them prior but no joy there. Third time they did it too.
Just love banks.


text: Christian Rizzo — d'après une histoire vraie Pauline Flannery 18/11/2015 Sadler's Wells, London This is an explosive piece with a slow burn. Initially strewn in recognisable folk-dance steps – pounding heel-toe action – the last third builds to a thrilling conclusion involving all eight dancers in breath-taking, stunning athleticism. This is a decidedly male affair: tribal, ritualistic, supporting a sacrum-sensuality as performers welcome, celebrate or confront in an exploration which goes beyond strutting machismo. The piece is hypnotic and strangely compelling. Drummers – Didier Ambact and King Q4 – draw the dancers on to ever more complex rhythms and patterns. French-born choreographer and visual artist Christian Rizzo's conception stems from a memory of a Turkish folk dance performance at a festival in Istanbul, 2004. 'A group of men erupt on stage, break out into a very short folk dance and then immediately disappear.' 'Was it their dance or the void they left after disappearing that overwhelmed me?' asks Rizzo. While the sum of the parts do not necessarily make up the whole, d'apres une histoire vraie, is strangely compelling as Rizzo explores how dance can unite people across figurative and literal divides; arms embracing, praising, in a show of masculine strength. There are discernible sections of movement with broad-sweep labels such as 'the laying down' or 'counter-balance,' danced in silence or to the accompaniment of drums and percussion; at one point the replicated sound of water. Sometimes it feels we are at a rock concert, head banging to the propulsive sound as dancers work in isolation or pairs to suggest multiple, private worlds. Yet this is the best of raves. There are also moments of great delicacy using lifts and the careful placing of dancers, flexed-foot, which are dazzling, producing a living sculptural beauty enriched by the all-male focus. There is a difficulty in some sections, though, where hypnotic sensual movement, such as the dancers' undulating torsos, seems over-extended and repetitive. But the collaboration and commitment is first rate. The dancers are an eclectic bunch: sinewy elegance, strength, matched by a denim trail with long hair and beards stretching all the way back to the early 70s. The dual drum kits dominate the stage, while the drummers' highly physical performance matches the dancers' in energy. Lit by the half-grained, atmospheric lighting design of Caty Olive, hinting at the memory-play central to Rizzo's exploration, it is a poignant reminder that in the week following the Paris atrocities, France, Turkey, Dance and Heavy Metal can, and do, share a harmonious place.

Tuesday Lunch Club News
Thank You's All Round - posted 20 December 2017
December 19th was the date of the Christmas meal of Tuesday Lunches. The fifty or so people present could not fail to say a big thank you to the cooks who gave us a splendid turkey lunch with all the trimmings, accompanied by wine, and members gave them each a present of Margaret Reardon's hand-made chocolates. Jean Spendlove was thanked for the table flowers she manages to find month by month, even in December, and Chris and Alan Thorpe were given gifts by the cooks for their unfailing help and support.
Live music was played throughout the occasion, and later in the afternoon it was great to have a visit from the Helmdon School choir who entertained the audience royally.
Not to be forgotten is a thank you to Chris and Alan for running the Christmas raffle, which raised £185 for the Northamptonshire Air Ambulance Service. They wish to thank all who supported the raffle.
Cancellation Of Lunch On Tuesday 15 August - posted 12 August 2017
Due to significant maintenance work currently being carried out in the reading room we have unfortunately had to cancel this Tuesday's lunch club.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 19th September.
Please confirm your attendance with Angela or Judith. Sorry for any inconvenience.
A Very Enjoyable Christmas Meal - posted 22 December 2016
Sue Lidgley (left) and Judy Cairns (right) giving out presents to the cooks and helpers
Almost the final Christmas diary date after the parties, the carols, concerts, bazaars, Church services, the pantomime and all the rest of the Christmas events, was the Tuesday Lunches Christmas meal, and what an excellent meal it was, worthy of any top restaurant. No-one could fault the excellent turkey meal with all the trimmings followed by Christmas pudding and trifle, accompanied by sherry and wine.
Angela Goodall gave tribute to all the cooks and helpers and then gave gifts to Chris and Alan Thorpe who see to the chairs and tables each month and to the entertainer, Alan Lauren, and also gave special mention to Jean Spendlove, who unfailingly puts flowers on the tables whatever the season. Ann Smith thanked Angela herself who makes sure that all runs smoothly every month. Finally, Judy Cairns thanked the whole team of helpers and Sue Lidgley joined her to give them presents as a token of thanks from members.
Music was played on the keyboard throughout the meal, and after coffee members of the church choir led the carol singing before all the diners went home replete and happy to have been part of such an enjoyable occasion.
Tuesday Lunch Club History
In September 1998, after an initial period of serving lunches for the ladies of the old Baptist Chapel, Lindsey Glassett started offering lunches in the Reading Room. Thirteen people attended that first lunch of chicken, carrots, peas, cauliflower and potatoes, followed by apple pie and custard. In 2004, when Lyndsey gave up as leader, that number had risen to thirty-nine. After a short break Jean Spendlove and Helmdon Church took up the cudgel, and today Wiggy Smith leads a band of helpers who serve monthly lunches to around forty people, both men and women.
Audrey Forgham
At the Easter 2015 meeting of the Tuesday Lunches, Wiggy Smith stood down as Leader. We are pleased to report that Angela Goodall and Judith Elkington now organise this popular monthly lunch.

Master So Kitchen
Last night we felt like Chinese food.
It was a yucky cold night and for once we had no children in tow. Big J and I decided on Master So Kitchen at Kippax. It's a lovely place in Holt, West Belconnen. Open everyday but Mondays for lunch and dinner dine in and take away. There's lots of free parking out front and a couple of tables, but inside is much nicer.
The interior is a pretty pale green with printed window shades and wooden features including a nook, that all presents a fresh, relaxing atmosphere. On one side of the room are stand alone tables, while on the other there is a wrap around bench seat facing the tables.
It was a frantically busy Friday night and at 7pm the restaurant was nearly full to capacity.Takeaway orders were coming thick and fast, but this didn't cause any disruption to table service, and our meals came out hot and prompt.
We were seated straight away by the friendly staff, and even remembered from our last visit in a group 2 months ago. This was a nice touch and made us feel very comfortable..... until I began to wonder what it was about us that was so memorable.... didn't we tip enough? Did we make a big mess? I know we had a good time, so no complaints... Hmmmm.
The menu is full and interesting, stating that it's a mixture of modern Chinese, Malaysian and Thai cuisine. Now normally that would put me off ,thinking "lets just try and get one thing right at time," but the menu is clearly divided and the kitchen has stuck to the usual favourites of each to keep everyone happy.
When I asked about gluten-free options, the waiter got me a highlighted menu right away. It was nice to not need to go into long-winded explanations, or hear "I'll have to check with the chef"
The choices available to me were great. Even things I normally have to steer clear from. I immediately ordered them all. Well, not quite, but it was tempting. They even have a gluten-free selection of yum cha on the weekends.
BigJ and I decided on steamed Har Gau dumplings (I know, gluten-free dumplings!) and they were delicious. The prawn still had some resistance to it and the wrapping was nice and soft. They were presented in a little steamer basket with some hot chilli paste and were very cute.
For mains we Honey Prawn Fritters (again, yay!) and Lamb with Lemongrass and Chilli. We only ever order steamed rice when we go out as I like to taste my food properly without any competition.
The lamb was nice, coming out on a cast iron sizzle plate. It had plenty of flavour, and slices of hot chilli, but was starting to stick and burn to the mega hot dish.
Now the prawns. The best Honey Prawns I have eaten, ever.
Like toffee apples, just hot. The crispness of the batter but firm and juicy underneath And prawny. With less apple. The honey coating was fantastic. It was thick and clung heaviliy to the prawns, but somehow it wasn't cloying or overpowering. I know, how is that possible? The batter wasn't too thick and was nice and crunchy. You might wonder if you could still taste the prawns through all this yumminess? Well, yes, you could. They were firm and not mushy as in many a failed dish. You got a layer of crispness as you bit through each piece.
A lucky fluke? I hope not. I may just have to sample regularly to maintain strict quality control. My judgement may well be clouded by the fact that it's been so long since I've eaten this sort of thing. However, remember this is about what I like and not everyone will agree with my taste.
As we were finishing up, the owner, Gem, began cruising the room. She chatted to regulars and introduced herself to newcomers. Gem's usually front of house while her husband is head chef. Tonight being busy, she has been helping out in the kitchen. She is very sweet and made time for everybody although the place was still pumping.
The prices of Master So Kitchen are very reasonable for this quality of food. It may not be the most snazzy restaurant in town, but our dishes were fresh tasting and not heavy or greasy. Big J and I were certainly full and didn't really need to finish the lot.... but of course we did! We had a great night, didn't break the bank, and will certainly return.
So readers, what is your favourite InTolerant restaurant?
6 comments:
Like the restaurant review. Do you get a free meal for the plug? Miss the dumplings. Considering where İ am my favorite restaurant would be TURKİSH TURKİSH TURKİSHReplyDelete
No, I didn't get a free meal, but if anyone wants to offer...... I like the menu because it had lots of options for me. I wouldn't choose to go to a pasta and pizza joint unless I knew they did gluten free. I love Turkish food too, you will have to share some intolerant recipes.ReplyDelete
That's a very generous serve of har gow! Hubby would still probably order 4 serves of it though :PReplyDelete
I don't blame him, they are really that good. littlej has a whole order just for herself. Unfortunately there aren't as many yumcha places here as there are in Sydney.ReplyDelete
think i might get some takeaway for myself and my 5yo coeliac tonight - we've been there for yum cha but never for dinner. i'm convinced by the honey prawns - yum!ReplyDelete

Master So's honey battered prawns have never been beaten in my estimation. The best. I've ever. Had.ReplyDelete

Google as a platform for synchronizationFebruary 12, 2011, with 0 comments
You know and probably use Google Mail and Google Calendar. You might even synchronize information from these applications like contacts and appointments to iPhone or another smartphone using Googles really nice Mobile Sync service. This service implements the Exchange Active Sync protocol and thus features push synchronization.
Even if you should not use these Google applications originally, you should consider to give them a shot. Maybe not to use the web interface but rather to use Google as a pure synchronization platform.
If you use Outlook for managing your contacts and appointments, gSyncIt is a really nice shareware you should try. Unfortunately it is not known very well.
The alternative Outlook synchronization solution from Google, Google Calendar Sync, has some serious bugs but is only poorly supported. So I don't recommend using it.
If you use Thunderbird as a mail client, the nice plugin Zindus is available to synchronize contacts.
Unfortunately, the data formats for contacts do not match 100% but nevertheless: this scenario should work for most use cases.
The ranking for iPhone synchronization imho is:
- Exchange Active Sync – if available
- gSyncIt based synchronization as introduced in this post
- iTunes – really only a fallback solution
A service that builds on Google as a synchronization platform is Rainmaker. It allows to enrich existing contact data using information available on Facebook and LinkedIn.

SodaStream posts 3Q profit, results miss Wall Street estimates
SodaStream slashed its guidance Wednesday, citing difficult business conditions in the U.S. and other markets.
The company had already warned this month that demand for its soda machines and flavors would not be as strong as it had expected as it struggled to lure new buyers.
SodaStream now expects net income will fall about 42 percent this year, while revenue will decrease 9 percent. In July the company forecast a five-percent dip in net income and revenue growth of five percent.
Its shares lost 54 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $21.38 in midday trading.
SodaStream posted third-quarter net income of $9.5 million, or 45 cents per share, on $125.9 million in revenue.
Zacks Investment Research says analysts expected net income of 51 cents per share and $130.3 million in revenue.
Outside of the U.S., the Airport City, Israel, company saw weak conditions in France and the Czech Republic.
The guidance issued Wednesday implies the company will report about $24.4 million in net income and $512.1 million in revenue in 2014.
FactSet says analysts expected $539 million in revenue.
The company also said it will move its factory out of an Israeli settlement in the West Bank and to the southern Negev region of Israeli. SodaStream said the move is strictly for commercial reasons and was not driven by pressure from pro-Palestinian activists.
Shares of SodaStream International Ltd. have fallen 20 percent since the company reported its preliminary third-quarter results on Oct. 7. The stock is down 57 percent since the beginning of the year.

CINCINNATI – Xavier's Edmond Sumner announcedmade headlines in February when he announced he would take the leap into the NBA draft. The sophomore guard won't be the first Musketeer in "The Association" and he surely won't be the last.
But how much success have Xavier products had at the next level? Surprisingly, some of the biggest stars over the years haven't even made an NBA roster.
RELATED: Edmond Sumner opens up about why he decided to go pro
For example, the closest 6-foot-10 fan favorite Matt Stainbrook came to playing in the NBA was in its summer league. He now plays professionally in Europe.
Romain Sato averaged 15.4 points per game for the Musketeers and was drafted in the second round in 2004 by the San Antonio Spurs, but was cut before he ever played an NBA game.
Even Byron Larkin -- one of the most decorated Xavier athletes ever who ranks 23rd on the all-time Division I men's career scoring list with 2,696 points -- never played for an NBA team.
That said, there are plenty of Musketeers who have made nice careers in the NBA. Will Sumner be among them or struggle to make a splash in the league like some of his contemporaries?
Here are the top nine NBA careers of Xavier players based on longevity, productivity and accolades. And it's based on NBA performance only -- not D-League, Europe or any other pro teams.
9. Luther Rackley
Maybe not a household name for today's Xavier fan, but the 6-foot-10 Rackley had three solid seasons for the Musketeers between 1966-69. He averaged 15.4 points and 12.7 rebounds. Those numbers were good enough to get him picked in the third round -- yes, there were more than two rounds back then -- of the 1969 draft by the hometown Cincinnati Royals.
Rackley's numbers were modest as he bounced between five teams in seven seasons, including one with the ABA's Memphis Tams. But we'll give him No. 9 on the list for an off-the-court accomplishment -- Rackley has two movie credits to his name. He appeared in the 1977 film "The Last Dinosaur" and 1979's "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh," a basketball story that starred basketball Hall of Famer Julius "Dr. J" Erving. That has to be worth something.
8. Dave Piontek
Even more of a blast from the past than Rackley, Piontek played just one season for the Musketeers in 1955-56. The 6-foot-5 forward averaged 15.8 points and a whopping 15.3 rebounds in his lone season.
He was picked in the third round of the 1956 NBA draft by the Rochester Royals, which would become the Cincinnati Royals the following season. Piontek had his best seasons as a Royal, spending five years with the club and averaging 7.8 points in that span. He also played for the St. Louis Hawks and Chicago Zephyrs in his eight-season career.
However, Piontek did not appear in any dinosaur movies -- at least that we know of.
7. Aaron Williams
Ah, now there's a name current Muskies fans are more likely to know. The athletic 6-foot-9 power forward/center teamed with Brian Grant in the early 1990s to form an imposing front line.
Despite a solid career at Xavier, Williams went undrafted. But that didn't stop him from having one of the longest -- and most traveled -- pro careers of any Xavier product. Williams spent 14 seasons in the NBA with a vagabond-like 10 different teams. His longest stop was with the New Jersey Nets, where he averaged 7.2 points in 336 games. He went to the NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003 with the Nets. His shortest stint was one game with the Denver Nuggets.
He also got to be part of a big trade in 2004 as part of a package that went from the Nets to the Toronto Raptors for superstar Vince Carter.
While he didn't settle in one place, lasting 714 games in the NBA is no small feat.
6. Derek Strong
This Xavier athletics hall of famer was a trailblazer for the great Musketeer tournament teams of recent years. The 6-foot-8 Strong led Xavier to its first Sweet 16 appearance in 1990 and had some monster games, including a 24-point, 24-rebound effort against Loyola Marymount in that, his final season.
Strong was picked 47th overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1990 draft but never played a minute with the team and was waived in 1992.
Like Williams, Strong bounced around in his career, playing 10 seasons for six different teams. His best was 1997-98 for the Orlando Magic when he averaged 12.7 points and 7.4 rebounds in 58 games.
5. Jordan Crawford
The first player on the list who currently is on an NBA roster, Crawford's time at Xavier was short but spectacular.
After transferring from Indiana University when a coaching scandal rocked that program, Crawford suited up for the Muskies in the 2009-10 season and averaged 20.5 points. His final game was likely his best, scoring 32 points in a double-overtime loss in the Sweet 16 against No. 2-seeded Kansas State.
Crawford's big season was enough to inspire him to declare for the draft.
Taken in the first round in 2010 by the New Jersey Nets, he was immediately traded to the Atlanta Hawks. Since then, he has bounced around a lot. Now in his eighth season, he has suited up for five teams. Despite his travels, he has been a solid NBA scorer, averaging 12.2 points in his career.
But really, what he will always be remembered for will be the time as a college kid he dunked on LeBron James in a summer league game. It was so embarrassing for King James that Nike tried to keep the world from seeing it. Nice try.
4. James Posey
This is a former Musketeer with some rings to show he had a very successful NBA career. The 6-foot-8 forward made his mark as a top sixth man and defensive stopper in college, but was also an offensive threat, averaging 15.3 points for Xavier from 1996-99.
The 18th overall pick in the 1999 draft, Posey spent four seasons as a key member of the Denver Nuggets before being traded to the Houston Rockets. He played 13 seasons for seven different teams.
Two of those teams were special. In 2006, Posey was part of a Miami Heat team that included Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal that beat the Dallas Mavericks for the NBA title. In 2008, Posey again was part of a title team as Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett led the Boston Celtics past the Los Angeles Lakers. Posey was a key contributor on both squads.
He also won a ring as an assistant coach with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016.
3. Brian Grant
Grant is one of the all-time great Musketeers. The two-time Midwestern Collegiate Conference player of the year and Georgetown, Ohio native finished with over 1,700 points and 1,000 rebounds in his four years at Xavier.
The eighth overall pick of the 1994 draft by the Sacramento Kings, Grant made the NBA's all-rookie first team. At 6-foot-9, 254 pounds, his ability to rebound made him a valuable commodity throughout a 12-season career with five different teams. He managed to average a double-double -- 10.3 points and 10.2 rebounds -- for the Miami Heat in 2002-03 and averaged double-digit points in six other seasons.
In 2008, Grant was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. He has established the Brian Grant Foundation to help others with the disease.
2. Tyrone Hill
The Withrow High School product is one the great rebounders in NCAA history. Hill finished his Xavier career with a stunning 2,003 points and 1,380 rebounds and was part of both the school's first NCAA tournament team in 1987 and first Sweet 16 team, with Strong, in 1990. This led the 6-foot-9 power forward to become the first NBA lottery pick from Xavier, taken 11th overall in the 1990 draft by the Golden State Warriors.
Hill had a very good 14-year career with five NBA teams. His best years came with the Cleveland Cavaliers where he averaged 10.8 points and 9.2 rebounds over six seasons. He also made the Eastern Conference All-Star Team while with the Cavaliers in 1994-95.
Hill wasn't afraid to lay the smackdown, leading the NBA in personal fouls in 1991-92 with Golden State.
He was also part of the 2001 Philadelphia 76ers, which fell in the NBA Finals to the Los Angeles Lakers.
1. David West
One can make the case that West is the greatest player in Musketeers history. The 6-foot-9 forward was the 2002-03 consensus national player of the year and a first-team All-America selection. He won three Atlantic 10 Player of the Year awards and finished with a gaudy 2,132 career points and 1,308 rebounds.
What can't really be disputed is that West is the best NBA player to ever come from Xavier. Drafted 18th overall by the New Orleans Hornets in 2003, West just wrapped up his 14th season, playing for the Golden State Warriors. He's the only two-time NBA All-Star from Xavier, making the team in 2008 and 2009.
West has averaged 14.2 points and 6.6 rebounds in his career, including cracking the 20 ppg mark in his All-Star seasons. He has now added a championship ring to his resume as the Warriors went 16-1 in the 2017 playoffs and beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games in the NBA Finals. West played a key role as a contributor off the bench averaging 13 minutes and 4.5 points per game while making appearances in all 17 games for the Warriors.
Also, West hasn't forgotten his Xavier roots. He attended the Musketeers' Sweet 16 upset over Arizona and addressed the team when it made the Elite 8 in San Jose.

Cracks in the wall
"The White House acknowledged Monday that President Bush's State of the Union address in January was incorrect in stating that Iraq had recently sought significant quantities of uranium in Africa.
The acknowledgment came as a British parliamentary commission questioned the reliability of British intelligence about Saddam Hussein's efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to the war in Iraq. "
Their finely-crafted walls of lies and denial are splintering. It is our patriotic duty to make sure they fall.

Pope Paul VI who died 40 years ago underscored the centrality of man
Blessed Pope Paul VI who will be declared a saint on October 14, died 40 years ago on August 6, 1978. Looking back at the 15-year pontificate, his postulator or promoter for canonization, Redemptorist Father Antonio Marrazzo, spoke to Vatican News saying Paul VI gave a new direction to the Church's journey on earth. The Italian priest said that in his writings and testament Paul VI revealed his understanding of man, especially as the image of God.
Man, image of God
The priest noted that 40 years after his death the Church continues to take a different path as indicated by the Second Vatican Council and taught by Paul VI, which consists is putting man at the center, not so much in his anthropological aspect as an end in itself but rather as an image of God - man as willed by God in his likeness, a man who has value and dignity".
The Redemptorist priest explained that Paul VI had this outlook as a young priest and always showed his concern for the least, lost and last of the world. According to Paul VI, we must regard man as God wants it – with tender mercy and love that is not based on condemnation but on understanding and saving because in every man there is an image of God that we must help re-emerge and resurface.
Fr. Marrazzo said that Paul VI was elected to carry forward the Second Vatican Council and guide it with a steady hand to make a "Samaritan" Church, the "handmaid of humanity" that is more inclined to "messages of trust" than "foreboding omens".
The postulator noted that Pope Paul's earlier years in the Holy See's diplomatic service was an art of listening and building peace. Regarding the youth he focused on transmitting an intelligent and free faith, a culture thirsting for truth and open to dialogue.
As Archbishop of Milan, he showed a strong experience of Church of the people, close to the people together with its modernity.
Unborn life
Pope Paul's landmark encyclical "Humanae Vitae", fifty years ago, the postulator said, affirmed the intimate union between conjugal love and openness to life. I
n this regard Fr. Marrazzo pointed out that both the miracles attributed to the intercession of Paul VI are regarding foetuses, i.e. unborn life. Hence, he said, Paul VI could be regarded as the protector of unborn life.
The Redemptorist priest explained that the miracle considered for Paul VI's canonization is regarding a woman from Verona whose unborn child was in danger of being born dead or heavily deformed with a very slim chance of survival due to the lack of amniotic fluid.
A gynecologist suggested to the family to pray to Paul VI around the time he was being beatified in October 2014. The girl born on Christmas day that year is healthy today, he said. These two miracles, Fr. Marrazzo said, prove that from unborn life come forth persons who have already been considered children by God.

Since then, there have been doubts raised about the project's viability, though no Nissan exec has come out and stated that plans for a small sporty coupe based on one of the IDx concepts were non-existent. Instead, we have more rumors of the development of an IDx, with Holiday Auto (via Motoring) claiming that a redesign is in the works.
According to an insider, Nissan envisages a more aggressive look for the production IDx, with heavy influences coming from Nissan's Sport Sedan concept, which was unveiled at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show and previews the next-generation Maxima. Sadly, it means Nissan is likely to abandon the retro look of the original IDx concepts in favor of something more modern.
The mechanicals, too, are said to be coming in for a major shakeup. Nissan is said to be looking at using the next-generation Z car's platform and a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter engine. The original IDx concepts were envisaged with sub-2.0-liter units with outputs boosted by forced induction.
Production is said to be taking place in 2017. If sold in the U.S., we're likely to see the car as a 2018 model. Note, before that date Nissan will introduce next-generation versions of both the GT-R and Z sports car.
Stay tuned for an update.

Fiction / Gay Interest
A Horse Named Sorrow
A Novel
Trebor Healey
· Selection, Over the Rainbow Project, GLBT Round Table of the American Library Association
· Finalist, General Fiction, Lambda Literary Awards
· Winner, Ferro-Grumley Award for LGBT Fiction, Publishing Triangle
· Winner, The James Duggins Outstanding Mid-Career Novelist Prize
"A Horse Named Sorrow is simply, inexorably beautiful. It is sexy, cinematic, the prose itself an absolute joy to read, and often funny as holy hell. It is, at the same time, one of the saddest works I have ever read: piercing, poignant, and memorable."
—Maureen Seaton, author of Sex Talks to Girls: A Memoir
Award-winning novelist Trebor Healey depicts San Francisco in the 1980s and '90s in poetic prose that is both ribald and poignant, and a crossing into the American West that is dreamy, mythic, and visionary.
When troubled twenty-one-year-old Seamus Blake meets the strong and self-possessed Jimmy (just arrived in San Francisco by bicycle from his hometown in Buffalo, New York), he feels his life may finally be taking a turn for the better. But the ensuing romance proves short-lived as Jimmy dies of an AIDS-related illness. The grieving Seamus is obliged to keep a promise to Jimmy: "Take me back the way I came."
And so Seamus sets out by bicycle on a picaresque journey with the ashes, hoping to bring them back to Buffalo. He meets truck drivers, waitresses, college kids, farmers, ranchers, Marines, and other travelers—each one giving him a new perspective on his own life and on Jimmy's death. When he meets and becomes involved with a young Native American man whose mother has recently died, Seamus's grief and his story become universal and redemptive.
Trebor Healey is author of the novel Through It Came Bright Colors, a selection of the InsightOut Book Club and the winner of both the Violet Quill Award and the Publishing Triangle's Ferro-Grumley Award for Fiction. His other books include the novel Faun, the short story collection A Perfect Scar, and a volume of poetry, Sweet Son of Pan.
"Lyrical and sad, Healey's prose uplifts rather than depresses. If you have ever had grief in your life, this will speak to you." —Out in Print: Queer Book Reviews
"A painfully beautiful book. It's also gloriously sexy and . . . among the finest depictions of queer life in 1990s San Francisco. Poetic, tragic, and often euphoric, it's the kind of story that I found myself wanting to live inside of." —The Gay and Lesbian Review
"The novel is unforgettable. . . . Powerful is an understatement. What Healey has created here is a new classic in literary fiction, along the lines of On the Road and Giovanni's Room, which will echo in the heart of his readers like the fading encore of the perfect song." —Lambda Literary
"Healey's sexy, heartbreaking novel is further testament that this talented queer author only seems to be getting better at mastering the fine art of storytelling." —Bay Area Reporter

Professional service with good follow up
Download was simple and easy…and the product works perfectly, no complains, thanks Eksoftware
Didn't want to add to my monthly bills so buying this software outright was a no brainer for me. I just replaced my Dell laptop that had MS Office on it from years ago. The operating platform on my laptop was so old I kept getting screen shots that MS would no longer support the operating system. Also including the MS Office on my laptop. Bought a new laptop and purchased this MS Home & Student software. I use Word and Excel regularly and am experiencing a learning curve. No problem. It's bought and paid for and I have plenty of time to figure out this newer software. Very happy with my purchase!
All the important functions of Microsoft Office and no subscription.
The download work seamlessly. No surprises.
Been using Office for years and still love it!
Got a new laptop and needed Word and Excel. This version fits my needs. A bit expensive though. But, all in all A-ok.
I finally buckled down and bought this for three reasons:
1.) I don't want to deal with never-ending subscriptions, of course. I want to OWN something if i pay for it.
2.) The spell/grammar check in microsoft word is, imo, the best out there. I've tried SO many alternative word processors, all the free ones you can think of. None of the spell-check features lived up to what microsoft word's is capable of (again, imo). I highly value Word for its spell-check, because i'm usually writing stories, scripts/dialogue for small games and projects in the software. and
3.) Before now, I would occasionally use the free microsoft word that you can access through web, but i wanted something I could use even if I didn't have internet access or something.
Great price.
I didn't want to pay for monthly subscription for MS product although I knew I'd probably get the constant new updates if I were to do so. But I wasn't a business owner or some high-level instructor that would need all the fancy dandy MS programs. I literally needed MS word, excel, and perhaps PowerPoint. And works perfect for me
Been using Office for decades. This is an upgrade from 2019 version. So far so good. Haven't encountered problems. I need this as I often work in environments where there is no internet connection so 365 simply won't work for me.
In today's world of subscription based software it is nice to still have the option to "own" your software. This was the cheapest place to buy this version of Office and I had no issues with email delivery or activation of the product key!
Perfect for home use.
Purchased this to replace my aging version of Office. Found Eksoftware had as good a price as any other I found. Purchased the download, and it was practically automatic from there. Just had to confirm the download and allow the install. Everything else was self-populating and automatic. Overall a pleasant experience.
I was using an old version of Office on an old Dell laptop. Now have a new Dell laptop with Windows 11 and needed stand-alone versions of Excel and Word, don't care about saving files to the cloud. Installation was quick and easy. I recommend preparing for purchase and installation by 1) setting up a Microsoft Account in advance, 2) using the same email address for Eksoftware and the Microsoft Account, and 3) uninstalling any previous versions of Office that are present on the receiving computer. After buying the product I received an email within 5 minutes of so with a link to the Microsoft website. I signed into my Microsoft Account, my purchase was verified automatically, then downloaded and installed the program. About 20 minutes from purchase to installation with no issues.

Excellent Service
Was able to purchase Microsoft Word 2021 for PC at a very reasonable price. Was very easy to install and works great. When I downloaded the 64bit instead of the 32bit, Joe in support was very helpful and fixed the issue including installing the 32bit for me.
Agustina Lacy 09/12/2023
MS Office
Everything went smoothly with adding it to our desktop. Thanx!
Karen 09/10/2023
The software was downloaded and installed without any problems. I will keep Eksoftware in my in my list of favorites.
Good Company. Will definitely use for future purchases.

What's the difference between Office 365 and Office 2019?
You get the premium Office software with the Office 365 subscription plans: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, and Access (Publisher and Access are only available on a PC). Office 365 can be enabled across various devices, including PCs, Macs, Android tablets, Android phones, iPad ®, and iPhone ®. Office 365 also comes with services such as 1 TB OneDrive room, 60 Skype minutes a month and support for Microsoft chat and phone. You get the new versions of the software with a subscription, and also receive updates as they happen. Learn more about Office 365.
Office 2019 is a one-time purchase that includes classic PC or Mac applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and does not contain any of the features that come with an Office 365 subscription. One-time purchases do not have an upgrade option, which means you would need to buy it at full price if you intend to upgrade to the next major update.
How do I know my PC or Mac can run Office?
By viewing the requirements, you can verify if your computer will support your Office version.
Will Office be identical on a PC, a Mac, and a mobile device?
No. Office applications are designed to better function on each system and platform. The Office applications and version numbers available to Mac users can vary from those available to PC users.
Can people with an earlier version of Office open documents I created using Office 365 or Office 2019?
Office 365, Office 2019, Office 2016, Office 2013, Office 2010, Office 2007, Office for Mac 2011 and Office for Mac 2008 applications can open your documents without further intervention. Customers using earlier Office versions would need to download and install a compatibility pack.
Is Internet access required for Office?
Internet access is required for downloading and enabling all the new Office suites releases and all Office 365 subscription plans. Internet access is also required for Office 365 plans to control your subscription account, e.g. to install Office on other PCs or to change billing options. Internet access for documents stored on OneDrive is also required, unless you install OneDrive desktop app.To keep your Office edition up-to-date and benefit from automatic updates, you should also connect to the Internet regularly. When you do not connect to the Internet at least every 31 days, your applications will go into reduced functionality mode, which means you can access or print your documents, but you will not be able to update or build new documents. Simplify reactivating your Office software by reconnecting the Internet.
To use the Office software, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, you don't need to be linked to the Internet because the programs are completely installed on your computer.
What is the maximum number of Office licenses I can activate using the same Microsoft account?
Users can activate 1 Office 365 Home and Office 365 Personal subscription, and up to 25 Office Home & Student 2019, Office Home & Business 2019, and Office Professional 2019 licenses.

WIWW: Purple and Polka Dots + Link Up

I am the same as you with photos, I get really embarrassed. The snow has been the perfect opportunity for me to take some outdoor shots as we went up where there is some lovely scenery and took the shots there, it doesn't look so weird when doing it with scenery behind I think (looks like you are taking pictures of the snow rather than your outfit and the snow lol) This is such a lovely outfit, the colour of the top is lovely (it actually just reminded me of a top I have hiding in my wardrobe which is a similar material and colour so thank you for that) I think the blazer looks to fit you perfectly and that's all that matters, who cares if you can't hug or type haha.ReplyDelete
Thanks for hosting the link up, I have linked up and put the badge in my post :)
