Valencia Boat Show
New management team for the Valencia Boat Show
The Valencia Boat Show has a new management team for the 2018 edition. Following the elections held last March, Mercedes Gomis became the new president of the Union of Nautical Companies (UEN), organising body of the Valencia Boat Show next to Valencia Marina. In the interest of the organisation of the show, a working group has been put together, made up by seven UEN managers who, together with Consorcio Valencia 2007, have drawn up the strategic guidelines of the next edition of the Valencia Boat Show.
Each of the managers of the Union of Nautical Companies will be responsible for one of the main areas of the show and will work closely with contract-based professionals. Mercedes Gomis herself will be responsible for overall management, Jordi Pujol will be in charge of the treasury area, while Berto Salom and José Ramón Alagarda will team up for the sales area. Esther Ballester will be in charge of coordinating the marketing and communications area and the production of the show will be the responsibility of Miguel Ferrà and Alfonso Alcocer, who will again be in charge of production on the water.
The Valencia Boat Show, which will be held from the 31st of October to the 4th of November 2018, will again have a wide selection of new boats from the main national and international boatyards as well as engines, electronics, accessories and nautical services by the main brands. Water sports such as surfing, kitesurf, paddle surf, kayaking and diving will also have the opportunity to present their products and novelties at Valencia Marina.
Also scheduled for this year are a number of parallel activities such as professional meetings in the nautical sector, talks and workshops for boat skippers and owners and nautical users, and a wide range of leisure activities for the whole family on the open day.
New image for the Valencia Boat Show 2018
The Valencia Boat Show has also revamped its image for the next edition, retaining the symbol of the sail divided into 5 parts representing the five continents, and modifying the background to give it a colour more similar to that of the sea of the Gulf of Valencia.
Presence in Palma and Denia
Last week, the representatives of the Valencia Boat Show attended the Palma Boat Show and the Denia Boat Show, where they were promoting the next edition of the show, and where some companies such as Solé Diesel or Whisper Power have already formalised their pre-registration for the event. The show again offers a 50% discount on the registration fee for those who formalise their registration before the 15th of June.
"The Valencia Boat Show has already come a long way, we want it to continue to grow in an orderly and professional manner together with Valencia Marina. We have a great management team made up of professionals from all areas of the nautical sector, from boat sales to engines and various services, and we are working together to ensure that the Valencia Boat Show continues on this growth path, with more new boats, products and activities for all nautical users", says Mercedes Gomis, president of the Union of Nautical Companies and director of the Valencia Boat Show.

his part of the site will attempt to
document the history of Cumbria in the "Dark Ages" as a long term (very)
project. As my research time is limited the site is not updated very frequently but I
suggest you keep calling back to see if anything new is here. The intention with this page is to first figure out when British independent rule ended and then slowly work back to Romans. I have so much conflicting information on 10th century Cumbria that I have included my development notes in the hope that someone reading them can provide some illumination. It seems Cumbria underwent three major phases in this time period
So the timeline is split into 3 tables accordingly. |
First Age My attempts at producing a definitive king listing for this period have not yet come to fruition and probably never will. I am striving to provide something different here to the excellent websites such as David Fords "Early British Kingdoms" , the "Regnal Chronologies" or "Kingdoms of the British celts". As a result I have attempted to gather and cross correlate the findings of these sites (I will add more when I have time to study them). Be aware that it is difficult to directly compare dates as the Quoted dates may be for the life of the King and not his reign. Bearing this in mind it still provides an interesting comparison without all that web hopping. I also have to add dates from several books and papers that I have waiting to be read. |
(i) = Catraeth (ii) = in Gododdin, Northern Votadini (iii) First King of northern Britain (iV) Second King of Northern Britain |
The sources for the
above table are:
Second Age | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Third Age | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
It can be seen that the above timeline is
somewhat less than perfect. The main problem I have is that every website or book I read
has a different picture of this timeframe. Many historians have different interpretations
of the names of the kings and leaders of the time which can make things even more
confusing. I have taken a serious liberty of copying some of my sources on this webpage in the hope that further interpretation may be forthcoming by someone reading this page. If any of the respective authors feel this is in anyway a misrepresentation of their work then I will remove the aforementioned text. Please visit their pages to experience the wealth of information for yourself. |
The following is a transcript of an email from David Hughes: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
StrathClyde : | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Strathclyde, the Kingdom
of, was founded in Year AD 148 by Corvus (Corb[ed]), the Cymric heir, descended from the
hero-king Caratacus, who rebelled against the Romans, raised a following of British
patriots, and established themselves at Alclyde ("Ail Cluathe"), i.e., Castle
Rock, Dumbarton, which fortified settlement developed into the city of Dumbarton
("Dun Bretan" = "Fort of the Britons"), situated on the north shore of
the Firth of Clyde on the Clyde River. There, Year 148, Corvus, the senior heir of the old British
pre-Roman royal house, founded the British "Free State", which eventually
evolved into a regional-kingdom in Scotland, i.e., the Kingdom of Strathclyde. Corvus of
Roman History may be identified with Corb(ed) of Scottish History, called the
"first" King of Scotland in some Scottish annals. Corvus, representing the
senior line of the descendants of the Old British Royal House, reigned as "King of
Britain" (government-in-exile) as an
The descendants of Corvus
reigned at Dumbarton, beyond the Roman border, as an independent line of kings rivalling
the client-kings of Roman Britain and were the ancestors of the later Kings of Strathclyde
(543-889), surviving the Roman Era until the close of the early Middle Ages . The British
"Free State" was recognized by Rome in Year 305 when Constantius
"Chlorus", the Roman governor, made treaties with the Strathclyde Britons, the
Picts of Scotland, and the Irish, in a political Cursalem, one of the Strathclyde
kings, even later accompanied Constantine "The Great" in his |
Goddodin etc | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In the early years following the evacuation of
the Roman Army, Britain was torn by civil wars among five kings (GM), who were each
powerful enough to dominate large portions of the island and harass each other. They
carved up post-Roman Britain among themselves and founded their own kingdoms. They were:
(1) Dunvallo "Molmutius", King of Cornwall, who held sway in Southern England,
while Northern England was divided into thirds among (2) Coilus (III)
"Votepacus", King of Gododdin, who held sway in N-E England and S-E Scotland;
(3) Antonius "Donatus", King of Galloway and Cumbria, who held sway in N-W
Engaldn and S-W Scotland; while (5) Eugenius (Owain "Finddu"), King of Gwent,
Glamorgan, & Gower, held sway over Wales, supported by (a) Cunedda
"Guledig", Lord of Gwynedd; (b) Owain "Fraisg", King of Demetia; and
(c) Tithlym "Prydyn", King of Powys. These five kings strove among themselves for supremacy in Britain. They were followed by Vortigern who reunified the country under a central government and reigned as High-King over the whole of what had once been the Roman diocese of Britain. (2) Coilus (III) "Votepacus", the Welsh Cole/Cole "Godebog"/"Guotepauc", who is often confused with Cole "Hen" (Old King Cole), i.e., Cole I, and sometimes confused with Coel?cole II, the eponymous founder of, and/or duke of, Colchester, who is sometimes confused with the others of that name even today by modern scholars. Coilus/Caelius "Votepacus", called "protector", is to be identified with Coelestius "Senex", the "dux Britanniarum", formerly in Roman service, who was descended from pre-Roman British royalty and was the representative of one of the secondary-branches of the Old British Royal House. His epithet "Votepacus"/"Guotepauc" means "The Splendid" or "The Excellent". Cole "Godebog" (Coilus '"Votepacus") has sometimes been called Britain's "first" Dark Age king, and was regarded by the annalists of Northern England as the founder of Britain's Dark Age Royal House. Cole "Godebog" held sway in Northern England and sat at York. He later moved his headquarters to Dunbar in Gododdin (S-E Scotland) during the civil war between he and Dunvallo "Molmutius", who held sway over Southern England and is regarded by the annalists of Southern England as the founder of Britain's Dark Age Royal House. There are others also reckoned as the founder of Britain's Dark Age Royal House, e.g., Vortigern, for one. The move Cole "Godebog" made from York to Dunbar is why he is reckoned as the "first" King of Gododdin, which was a regional-kingdom overlapping N-E England and S-E Scotland. It is recorded that Cole "Godebog" launched a massive attack on Ayrshire against Quintillus of Strathclyde, and on Galloway and Cumbria against Antonius "Donatus" of Galloway/Cumbria. Cole "Godebog" appears to have again moved his headquarters at this time to Aeron (Ayrshire, Scotland), and appears later to have established his headquarters at Kyle, to which he gave his name. That would have been his third move. Cole "Godebog" would allow some barbarian groups, e.g., Scots, Norse, and Irish, to settle in Britain as "laeti". "Laeti" were warrior-colonists who were granted land by the king in exchange for military service. Cole "Godebog" was caught by surprise by Quintillus who made a night-attack on Cole's encampment and scattered Cole's Army in flight, and Cole "Godebog" drowned in some bogs during the rout of his forces Year 420. This battle, according to tradition, took place somewhere in Strathclyde. Cole "Godebog" was buried under a circular mound at Coilsfield, in the parish of Tarbolton. The descendants of Cole "Godebog", called "the sons of Godebog", or "the Coelings", or The "Gwyr Y Gogledd" ("Men of the North-Country"), developed into numerous branches over time and were the rulers of lands throughout Northern England which was called the British "North Country". Of the thirteen local states (regional-kingdoms) into which the British "North Country" was resolved, eight were ruled by Cole's descendants. |
Cumbria and Galloway | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Antonius "Donatus", the Welsh Anthun
"Wledic", the only surviving son of the earlier British king and Roman Emperor,
Maximus, and/or the younger brother of the British king Constantine II (Constantine III as
rival Roman emperor, 406-11), set himself up as king or emperor in Britain in Year 418 in
opposition to the other self-proclaimed British kings, and, establishing himself at
Carlisle in Galloway (S-W Scotland), also founded a post-Roman British kingdom that year
and is reckoned as the "first" King of Galloway/Cumbria. He was run-out of
Cumbria (N-W England) by "the sons of Cole", i.e., "the Coelings", who
gave Cumbria another dynasty of rulers. He was killed in Year 423 fighting Quintillus of
Strathclyde. His descendants reigned as Kings of Galloway until Year 683 when Merfyn
"Mawr" was killed fighting the Angles of Northumbria. His descendants later
appear as the Lords/Earls of Carrick until 1256. The "King Dunmail", the last King of Cumberland (d. 945), was descended from "the Coelings" rather than Antonius "Donatus" since the descendants of Cole "Godebog", the "Gwyr Y Gogledd" , tookover Cumbria from the descendants of Antonius "Donatus", who were afterwards confined to Galloway. It is more proper that the "last" King of the Britons should descend from ancient British royalty (represented by Cole Godebog's descendants) rather than the British branch of the Roman imperial house (represented by Antonius "Donatus", among others, e.g. the Dukes of Gloucester, etc.) |

This loosely organized kingdom was located in what is now southwestern Scotland and
Northwestern England. Its center was in Ayrshire, at the present-day city of Dumbarton.
Situated as it was between Scotland and Cumbria, it retained aspects of both Gaelic and
Cymric culture. Its capital destroyed in 870 by Vikings, it fell under Scottish suzerainty
in the 10th century, but regained independence for a 45 year period after 971.

878 - King
Rhodri Mawr of Gwynedd, Powys and Seisyllwg returns to his kingdoms, but is killed
fighting the Mercians of King Ceolwulf II. His kingdoms are divided amongst his three
sons, Anarawd, Merfyn and Cadell respectively. The Vikings winter in Dyfed. Death of King
Run of Strathclyde. His son, Eochaid, succeeds to the throne and allies himself with his
mother's cousin, King Giric of Alba. The two rule all Scotland together as joint-monarchs. 889 - Kings Eochaid and Giric of Alba, Strathclyde & the Picts are deposed by Viking invaders. The former's cousin takes the throne as King Donald II. The end of independent Strathclyde rule. 890 - King Donald II of Alba expels the British aristorcracy of Strathclyde. They flee south to North Wales. 937 - King Athelstan of England defeats a combined Northern Army under Kings Olaf of Dublin, Constantine II of Scots and Owain of Strathclyde at the Battle of Brunanbury. Though none of the British monarchs appear to have taken part, the people of Strathclyde were a major contingent under their Scottish King. The battle finally ends all British hope of driving the Saxons from their shores. c.937 - King Idwal Foel of Gwynedd distances himself from his English overlord. The British begin to use the term "Cyrmry" to speak of themselves. 937 - Battle of Brunanburh: Athelstan defeats alliance of Scots, Strathclyde Britons and Vikings, and takes the title of "King of all Britain" 973 - After his coronation, King Edgar of England marches his army north to Chester. His navy meets him there via the Irish Sea. This show of strength persuades the Northern Kings to submit to his overlordship. Legend says he is rowed across the Dee by Kings Kenneth of Alba, Malcolm of the Cumbrians, Magnus of Man & the Isles, Donald of Strathclyde, Iago of Gwynedd, Princes Hywel of Gwynedd, Ithel and Siferth (the latter two of unknown origin).

« Tomorrow's Yankee Values | Return to Perspectives On Place | Of Communities and Creampuffs »
While grocery shopping, I have often struggled with the decision to buy organic or buy local. Yes, the organic is better for farms' environments, farm workers, and for consumers' health (at least in the short term). But if the organic food is shipped in from Argentina, what are the costs in terms of fossil fuel consumption and emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases? This question on the origins of our food has implications not only at the grocery store, but also in our work at the Foundation. We cannot ignore food production when we are talking about communities' futures, and there are lessons on sustainability that farms can teach those of us working in the planning field.
Having read Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire, I was thrilled to see that he had a new book that dealt exclusively with food and where food comes from. The Omnivore's Dilemma addresses the question of what we, as omnivores, should eat. Our dilemma is that, since we can eat pretty much anything, how do we determine what is good to eat and what will kill us? Pollan's book discusses with humor and detail the "natural history" of four sample meals as a means to explore this question. Pollan also looks at the omnivore's dilemma by questioning the larger effects of our food choices on the world around us.
I came away convinced that, while local organic food is the best on all fronts, local food (organic or not) is in many ways superior to imported organic food. His description of an almost completely self-contained small farm that is supported by the local economy is a glimpse of a model for community sustainability. In an era of globalization, the local farm where consumers literally see where their food comes from, start to finish, ensures best practices for raising and harvesting both crops and animals. The transparency of the process is vital for the farm's customers to feel as though they are getting food that they can feel good about. Likewise, transparency in the planning process leads to processes that citizens can feel good about. Providing community members with the opportunity to know exactly where the community's plan for the future is coming from and offering them opportunities to contribute in a meaningful way is the best way to get sustainable plans for the future.
While we will always need a few things from outside our communities, farms that cater to local needs and are in sync with the local environment should be considered our best resource—both for food and for examples of sustainable systems and processes.

AAS' BAM office is located in the middle of the city, in Kreuzberg, and takes place in the beautiful and bold new building designed by BCO Architects. BAM took over from the back building the ground floor with the garden and the first floor with a total of 246sqm space interiors. Each of the 2 floors is made of a consistent long rectangle room taking the whole plot of the building.
In keeping with the elegant simplicity of the building, the design of the ground floor opening onto the building's enclosed courtyard consists of a single long gallery used as show-room, meetings or gallery and can be divided almost by its half why a sliding translucent wall in 2 large rooms. The sliding wall isn't perpendicular but lightly angled creating the only non-orthogonal element of the composition except the stairs connecting the office space above. As the stairs by its opening let the above light coming in vertically, the translucent wall do so with a horizontal lighting.
From this all-white staircase the above office consist on a similar large rectangle extremely luminous. A second translucent sliding wall can enclose one of the room's corner and become a smaller meeting room constitués of 3 corners. At the other end of the main room a bar-kitchenette and dining table is set with stools. Made of 8mm thick massive raw aluminium, untreated, directly coming from the manufacturer, AAS has design monumental monolithic furniture setting the office like an immovable space in response to the work of BAM.

While some worry that the COVID-19 pandemic might have long-term impacts on the travel sector, United Airlines is betting on the opposite. The airline just purchased a whopping 270 narrowbody aircraft to help grow their domestic fleet. While some of the planes will be used to phase out older aircraft, the airline projects to grow its fleet size by 200 planes.
The order was for a mix of Boeing 737 MAX 8's and 10's and Airbus A321 planes. The MAX planes have been recertified by the FAA as safe to fly, and United is betting on the plane's larger models to increase seat capacity. This is partly due to the fact that United is hoping to increase its business class and Economy Plus sections, proving that the airline is expecting the number of business travelers and bigger-budget fliers to increase over the next few years.
"Our United Next vision will revolutionize the experience of flying United as we accelerate our business to meet a resurgence in air travel," said United CEO Scott Kirby. "By adding and upgrading this many aircraft so quickly with our new signature interiors, we'll combine friendly, helpful service with the best experience in the sky, all across our premier global network. At the same time, this move underscores the critical role United plays in fueling the broader U.S. economy – we expect the addition of these new aircraft will have a significant economic impact on the communities we serve in terms of job creation, traveler spending and commerce."
With the new planes and growing fleet, United anticipates hiring an additional 25,000 employees. It's clear that United isn't worried about long-term impacts from COVID, and, in fact, anticipates rapid growth. And with the number of Americans who are planning travel for 2021, it's apparent that United may very well be correct in their assumptions that travel is about to increase exponentially.

Primary lines are available in both SK78 and the marginally lower stretch SK99, in both single ended versions (for tying on 'soft attach' blocks), and with loops at both ends (for luggage tagging on older 'hard attach' blocks such as Harken 406/407). There are two class legal kicker/vang lower assemblies and the primary line lengths required are different. By default all our solutions are for the more popular Harken version. If you are using the Allen lower assembly add a note at checkout and we will make the line 8cm longer for you.
Secondary control lines made with an SK78 Dyneema core and a polyester or Technora®/Polyester cover. If you want more information on our secondary lines and how to select which is best for you read our article on selecting secondary lines. An optional spliced loop is available on one end of the line for easy and secure attachment of blocks. Sealed ends are available as an option (both ends are stitched and a protective heatshrink sleeving glued in place giving a very clean finish to the ends that both prevents fraying and separation of the cover from the core). We offer a number of different lengths dependent on the handle type that you use.

Back in 1970, Alvin Toffler wrote a seminal book entitled "Future Shock." Toffler's thesis was that events were happening at a faster and faster rate, and that unless we prepared ourselves, we could become mentally overwhelmed. His evidence was indisputable; it took a lifetime to construct a Greek temple, a decade for a Gothic cathedral, and only a couple of years for the modern equivalent. Fighter aircraft speeds rose from 100 to 2,000 miles per hour in 50 years, and computer processing rates double every five years.
But all these things are the obvious result of technological progress, and far from being overwhelmed by the need to board a plane to fly to Australia in a few hours, we are tickled to death, and will welcome teleportation when it comes. Nevertheless, there is another kind of acceleration that is by no means welcomed by us old folk. In the last 20 years, movie takes, the period of a single scene, have shrunk from tens of seconds to a tenth of a second; credits that could be easily read now scroll by too fast to decipher; TV anchors who used to speak at a comfortable 80 words per minute are no longer employable if they can't manage 160 wpm, and actors who haven't been trained for this have simply sacrificed intelligibility.
Certainly, as we age, our perceptions slow down, and we find it increasingly difficult to understand speed talkers. But that doesn't alter the fact that things unconnected with technical progress seem to be happening faster, so what's going on?
Toffler didn't try to explain the phenomenon, only to record it, which gives us room to speculate. There are several exotic explanations, such as time compression due to the expansion of the universe, the spiraling cost of TV and movie production, or our increased impatience due to longer exposure to ionizing radiation, but none that stand up to critical examination. However, after watching young children master the operation of complex electronic gadgets without so much as a glance at the instruction book, could it be that humans are actually getting smarter with each succeeding generation?
There is no hard evidence for this, but then creativity and resourcefulness are not easily detected by intelligence testing, so perhaps what we are seeing is the slow process of species change in action, the evolution of Homo proximus, a smarter version of Homo sapiens, more adaptable mentally to the technical challenges of the future.
It has happened before. There has always been a mystery about the relatively rapid disappearance of Neanderthal man and his replacement by the physically inferior but mentally superior modern man, with better hunting strategies, better weapons and better adaptation to the changing environment, so that the Neanderthals lost first the ability and then the will to compete with the smarter newcomers.
Are we going on the same road as the Neanderthals toward history's scrap heap?

World reacts to woman jumping into tiger pen at Toronto Zoo
The Toronto Zoo's gotten a lot of international press lately, mostly thanks to its slew of baby animals, including its two new panda cubs. Now, it's gaining world-wide attention yet again, but for a different reason.
This weekend, a woman jumped into the zoo's tiger pen to apparently retrieve her hat. She wasn't in direct contact with the wild cat, but onlookers weren't too pleased with her rash decision - someone said she set a bad example for children and another called her move "moronic."
The Zoo, as the Toronto Star reports, is investigating the incident. A spokesperson told the Canadian Press that the tiger posed no danger to the woman as the two were separated by a fence.
However, it's against zoo by-laws to "climb, break, injure, mark, tamper with or deface any building, fence, cage, enclosure, equipment, installation or structure."
Toronto woman almost proves any zoo can be a petting zoo if you're dumb enough! #bonehead - https://t.co/6YxtuF298c
â Robin Harper (@harpersbazaar) April 18, 2016
One such passerby caught the entire incidence on video and the nearly minute and a half YouTube clip already has more than one million views, and counting.
This video's already been shared with news outlets here at home as well as with publications in the United States, the U.K. and Australia.

Ardingly College Girls Win Sussex Hockey Under 18 Cup
7 Oct 2016
Ardingly College girls' hockey 1st X1 won the Sussex Under 18 Cup on 6th October. After winning all their matches in a tournament held at Hurstpierpoint College, they now progress to the National competition, going on to represent Sussex at the Regional rounds after half term.
Ardingly College topped the group with convincing wins over Eastbourne, Lancing and Mayfield. They arguably played their best hockey of the day in the 3-0 semi-final win over Brighton College before summoning up last reserves of energy to beat Eastbourne again 2-0 in the final with both goals scored from penalty corners by Isabelle Childs.
Speaking of the team, which includes an impressive 11 county and four England Hockey Futures Cup players, Ardingly's Head of Hockey and former England International, James Stedman, said: "The girls are to be congratulated on their performances – the quality of their passing of the ball at speed and composure under pressure were complimented by visiting supporters and coaches."

Mycotectonics: Building with Fungal Mycelium
Master's Course Architecture Project M1
According to a report of the DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council), the construction industry is responsible for: 30% of global CO² emissions, 40% of energy consumption in Europe, and 30% of resource consumption worldwide. Furthermore, 80-90% of these resources are used in buildings' load-bearing structures. That is why we as architects and engineers can reduce this impact by applying our know-how in smart designs. This M1 course aims to design architectural projects with mycelium composite building elements.
Mycelium composites are novel, cheap, and environmentally sustainable materials with great expectations for its application in the construction industry. These materials apply bio-fabrication of natural fungal growth to upcycle lignocellulosic by-products of the industry into sustainable alternatives to traditional construction materials. Among their properties, we propose to focus on the customization capacity. The students will be asked to design their own building modules and correspondent joinery to apply them in their architectural projects. Aligned with this task the students will be challenged to analyze the principles of structural morphology within these novel materials, prototype a formwork, produce building modules and joinery, and critically apply them to a bottom-up design.
- Application of building mycelium composites in architectural projects
- Understanding of principles of structural morphology of mycelium composites
- Design and Prototype mycelium composite building modules and joinery
- Critically apply mycelium composite building modules to a bottom-up design process
- Design of site-specific architecture with the acquired knowledge
Application: RWTHonline
Start: Tuesday, 13.04.2021
Meetings: Tuesdays, likely 14:00 - 17:00
Final Submission/Evaluation: Tuesday, 03.08.2021, 14:00 - ca. 17:00

In an online media outlet, the former coach of Kwara United Samson Unuanel 'revealed' that the double header friendly against Cameroon in the first 2 weeks of June will be a good test for the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
"Playing Cameroon (and Mexico in July) will definitely serve as a good test for the team ahead of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers and 2022 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon." Said Unuanel.
In what sense I ask?
There are different ways which these games could serve as a test for the Super Eagles. A test of a new formation; a test against a formidable African opposition; a test of how to build on recent victories; a test of how fringe players can embed themselves in the team; or a test of how (well) the Super Eagles are prepared ahead of crucial qualifiers.
Ahead of world cup qualifiers later this year and Afcon early next year, I think we need to see how resilient the team is.
Inviting a large number of fringe players should afford the coaching crew and fans to see what these players bring to the table.
"This friendly against Cameroon is an interesting game because we are going to have some of the new players," said coach Gernot Rohr on the CAF website.
"It is a big test game and an opportunity to test the new players," he added.
Absolutely! Now for me that is a more meaty quote from the German Gaffer.
With periphery players like Noble and Anayo recalled and already in camp while others like Marcus Abraham and Terem Moffi were handed maiden invitations, fans are only too eager to see how these players will perform against a formidable opposition.
These matches promise to be fascinating encounters. Whereas many Super Eagles fans would like nothing but compelling outcomes (in the way of results) against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, coach Gernot Rohr has chosen to draw the ire of a section of his critics by stating that results are unimportant.
"Of course, we are not going to play for the result against Cameroon in Austria, but it's an opportunity to see our boys and see something different with our systems against a very good team that will host the next Afcon." Rohr stated.
It has to be said that there is substantial merit in Gernot Rohr's statement above.
After all, an overarching purpose of these friendlies is to test new players, try out different tactics and see how the team will respond to different scenarios on the pitch against a tough opposition.
But, the sort of results against Algeria and Tunisia in 2020 friendlies left a bitter taste on the tongue and are sure to dampen morale among fans even if the motive of trying fresh faces and formations is achieved.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria go into this encounter at the back of 2 wins, 3 draws in our last 5 games. Positive results in the games against Cameroon will not only help continue a string of wins, it will inadvertently have the domino effect of boosting our standing in the subsequent FIFA rankings – something sure to further bring smiles on the faces of fans and sure to continue enhancing Rohr's reputation as a coach capable of taking Nigeria places.
Sadly, preparations for the friendlies have be beset with an unprecedented level of withdrawal due to injuries.
Suspicion is rife that players are choosing to stay away due to being owed wages/bonuses.
So far, 5 players from the original list have pulled out, leaving just 18 players.
Any more withdrawals would have put the friendlies in real jeopardy of being call off. However, mercifully, 17 players have now reported to camp making it more likely that the games will go ahead.

Nikola Tesla and Extraterrestrial Life
Credits: RAFAEL AMORIM, EXCLUSIVE FOR UFO MAGAZINE
From time to time, humanity is blessed with the birth of a genius who, in some way, changes the course of civilization. At the end of June 10, 1856, on a violently stormy night, Nikola Tesla was born in a region now known as Croatia, but then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The night of his birth was so uncharacteristic that the midwife, in a fit of superstition, claimed that the lightning and thunder that streaked the skies indicated a bad omen. The child's protective mother intervened, stating bluntly that the child would actually be an enlightened human being. Her words were prophetic.
The genius of that child crossed not only space, but also time, and his inventions and patents continue to bear fruit to this day and serve as the basis for new research and technologies. His memory, today, is in orbit around the Earth, sent by Elon Musk, founder and CEO of the company SpaceX, in the figure of a car that bears his name. Tesla was, without question, one of the great geniuses that our planet has ever seen, but he was also much more than that, as we will see in this article in which we will get to know the scientist better and his fantastic history, seeking to explore some points that can link him to the Ufology. His controversial and genius figure, full of mysteries that most people have not been able to understand or respect, it is shrouded in a series of what are now known as "conspiracy" theories and claims ranging from magic to contacts with extraterrestrial beings. Could this, after all, be the reason for his impressive genius?
an unusual story
Tesla was born into a family of inventive people and was influenced from an early age, especially by his mother, Djouka Mandici — a creative housewife who invented her own household items — to seek alternative methods to solve everyday issues and problems. day. Djouka played a very important role in the scientist's life and he on one occasion regretted that his mother had been born and lived in a time and circumstances that did not allow her to develop her great inventive capacity. The scientist's father, Reverend Milutin Tesla, was a member of the Eastern Orthodox Church and his greatest wish was for his son to follow in his footsteps and become a priest. But the young man was looking for other paths, other directions. He wanted to understand the world and change it, not religiously, although he had nothing against religion,
In his childhood in the village of Smiljan, in Lika county, Tesla began to suffer from a syndrome never understood by the medical science of his time: the young man was affected by momentary mental triggers, which kept him stunned and at the same time paralyzed. These mental shots, as Tesla himself called the episodes, shot disconnected images and scenes in his mind, incomprehensible at first, but then became clearer – it was as if Tesla accessed, who knows, a universe or a parallel dimension. in the future. That is, in addition to genius, he also had some paranormality, such as the ability to "see" the future, called precognition.
Yes, he "sees" things in the future because they had not yet been invented in his day. Therefore, Tesla can also be considered literally a futurist. In one of his momentary mental shots, the boy caught a glimpse of his brother Daniel falling off his horse on the family farm. In the urge to try to avoid the fall, he ended up triggering an accident. However, there are some other versions of the boy's death, seven years older than the scientist. Daniel Tesla was considered many times more intelligent and capable than his younger brother and his death was a severe blow to his parents, who considered him the star of the family. Nikola Tesla was then five years old.

Outlander Season 5: The Frasers Prepare For War And Heartbreak In New Footage
Outlander is currently in the middle of another Droughtlander, with the long hiatus between the fourth and fifth season still months away from coming to an end. Fortunately, Starz has officially released new footage of what's in store in Season 5, and it's enough to promise fans that more of what they've come to love from Outlander is on the way.
So, while we wait for the February 16, 2020 premiere date -- a.k.a. well after many other high-profile shows return to the airwaves -- check out the brand new footage and prepare to start speculating about what it could mean as the Frasers head for war and heartbreak in 18th century Colonial America. Take a look!
Well, it wouldn't be Outlander without gorgeous scenery, guns firing, screaming, danger, and time travel conundrums while the Frasers just want to keep their family together. The coming of the American Revolution combined with the expectation of Jamie to hunt down his beloved godfather probably means that there won't be a whole lot of time for romance and peace in Season 5. Fraser's Ridge itself looks busy with a whole lot of people other than the Fraser family (which now includes some MacKenzies as well).
One big question facing the family -- which by this point is mostly comprised of time travelers from the 20th century -- is whether they should stay in the dangerous 1700s or return to their own time in the 1900s. That's not really an option for Jamie, who hasn't shown any ability to pass through the stones whenever he's been near them.
Claire, Brianna, and Roger, on the other hand, can. What about Jemmy, though? With both parents and grandmother capable of time travel, could he do it as well? And would Bree risk time travel with a young child? Claire wasn't even showing her pregnancy yet when she returned to Frank and her own time; I imagine she might not have risked it if Jamie had tried to send her through with a newborn.
It's also hard to imagine Claire willingly leaving Jamie, even if the temptation of joining her daughter and grandson would be strong. In the quick clip of Claire saying "I hope you don't stay," it looks an awful lot like she's speaking to Roger. If so, I get the impression that she wants Bree, Roger, and Jemmy to return to the much safer 20th century while she stays behind with her husband. But is that what will happen?
And did Bree successfully prevent her parents' deaths via fire just by coming back to warn them? Culloden proved that huge points in time can't just be changed despite great effort; can it be changed at all? Unfortunately, we won't get to see the Frasers back in action until Sunday, February 16, 2020 on Starz. Hopefully the various couples do have at least a little time for romance.
Season 5 is launching just a couple of days after Valentine's Day, after all! Only time will tell. A Starz executive explained the decision to hold Outlander Season 5 until 2020, and saga author Diana Gabaldon took issue with his comments about female viewers.

The PS5 Has "Absolutely" Sold Out Until 2021
Good luck getting one of these next-generation gaming consoles brand new since, according to Sony's CEO, the PlayStation 5 has "absolutely" sold out. Many have turned to the exorbitant re-sell prices found on Gumtree or eBay, with no substantial resupplies available until next year. However, with the Christmas period fast approaching, Santa may have a few PS5's still lying around… hopefully.

So you've just finished reading our first impressions of the PlayStation 5 and thought yourself, "I want one." Well tough. It looks like that won't be a reality until 2021 if Sony CEO Jim Ryan is anything to go by after he spoke with Russian news outlet TASS. Confirming everybody's worst nightmares, Ryan said, "absolutely everything is sold."
"Everything is sold. Absolutely everything is sold. And everything will be sold in Russia; there's no doubt about that," he said. "I've spent much of the last year trying to be sure that we can generate enough demand for the product. And now, in terms of my executive bandwidth, I'm spending a lot more time on trying to increase supply to meet that demand."
Reflecting on the challenges of COVID-19, Ryan isn't recommending it to anybody else. "It's been difficult; it's been challenging from the production side, not being able to get anybody into the factories in Asia… Before we started production, we had to do all the manufacturing preparation by camera remotely. I mean, just imagine that for a precision device like the PlayStation 5."
Several PS4 owners are expected to upgrade to the next-generation console; however, with Russia taking the bulk share of supply, many may have to stay put while waiting for resupplies. Fortunately for Sony, "the PlayStation 4 community is going to remain incredibly important certainly for 2020, 2021, and 2022." Godspeed gentleman.

You really need to think before you pack
The days of taking everything you might need are gone. Under health and safety rules and financial money grabbing the airlines are reducing the weight limits of your luggage.
Some airlines are not only charging you extra for putting luggage in the aircrafts hold they are also charging you for extra for additional weight. Some airlines will make you unpack your bag at the booking in desk if it is overweight.
You then have to choose what items you will have to leave behind. You now have to think before you pack your bag. Take what you actually need. Do you really need all those shoes and coats. Wear your heavy shoes and coats on the plane.
Take them off when you get inside and put them in the overhead locker. Take clothes that work as outfits and can be used to mix and match.
Prepare for the worst
Can you cope if you arrive at your destination but your bags have been sent to the other side of the world? Carry a spare outfit in your carry on bag including clean underwear and a toothbrush. That will just give you enough time to go and buy new items.
Make sure you keep the receipts to help with your travel insurance claim. If there are two of you going on a trip put at least one set of clothing your companion's bag. If the airline loses only one of the bags at least you will both have something to wear.
Pack you swimming trunks or bikini in your hand luggage. If you're going on a cruise, you'll be able to hit the pool when everybody else is waiting for their baggage to be delivered to their cabins. And if your luggage is lost, you'll at least be able to swim.
Are you going to a shopping paradise?
Buy your clothing when you get there. It is very silly to pack space-hogging flip flops flippers, snorkel, diving mask and lots of cotton clothing to Florida or Thailand.
Packing liquids
You are only allowed to take liquids in small 100mls bottles. Some shops like Boots sell travel-size 100mls bottles you can use again and again. Think about decanting your favourite toiletries into the correct size bottles.
Put any liquid containers in two sealed plastic bags to try and protect the your clothing from leaks. Check your bags do not have any holes..
Packing tips
Shoes are bulky and heavy. You can make use of the space inside by stuffing your socks, underwear and swimming costumes in them. Make sure you put items like toiletries and toothbrushes in plastic bags inside to protect them before you place them inside shoes. Pack them around the outside of the case to protect some of the more delicate items.
To cut down on creases carefully roll up your clothing. They must be very tightly rolled, and then tightly packed in the suitcase otherwise if they unfurl en-route then they will crease. Pack light items that will get creased like shirts and dresses near the top. Pack heavier items nearer the bottom of your suitcase so as not to creased clothing like shirts and dresses.
Check your airline's carry on rules
Different airlines have different carry on rules. Make sure your bag is the correct size and weight - before you go. Virgin Atlantic's carry-on requirements are stricter than British Airways. Ryanair will penalise you if your bag weighs more than 10kg and they have the smalles allowable size of all the budget airlines.
Waterproof and straps
Is your suitcase or rucksack 100% waterproof? We have all seen the airport baggage cart in the rain, waiting underneath the aircraft laden with bags waiting to be thrown into the hold.
You have a good chance of finding all your cloths dripping wet when you open them in your hotel room at your holiday destination. Put two thick black bin lines inside your suitcase or rucksack and pack your clothing in them.
If you are putting a rucksack in the aircraft hold make sure none of the straps are loose. These can get caught in the conveyor belt and rip your rucksack. Consider buying a lightweight strong non rip bag to cover it.
How to help prevent your luggage getting lost
Near where I live in London there is an Auction house that every Monday sells hundreds and hundreds of suite cases and contents lost and not claimed at the various London Airports. To help make sure that your case is not one of them follow these tips.
Put your name and address inside and outside your bags in case the luggage tags get ripped off in transit. On your out ward journey put an itinerary of your holiday inside your bag on top of all your clothing. Include all the hotel details so if your bags do get lost an airline employee can find it easily and forward them to you.
Take a picture of your bags before you travel and keep it in your hand luggage. Having a photograph is so much easier than describing what your bag looks like at the claims desk. It will also help staff find them..
What to do if your luggage gets lost
You must file a report if your luggage gets lost or damage within 24hours of your arrival or else you are in danger of your claim being dismissed. Have a list of everything in bags and keep it in your hand luggage. You will need to hand the list in to get reimbursed.
Many Airlines have acclaims limit for lost luggage and some exclude camera equipment, medication and jewellery so it is important that you have insurance. When your bags are delayed airlines usually advance passengers cash or reimburse you for necessary items like toiletries and a change of clothes. It is important to save your receipts. .
Post items
Consider posting items ahead to your hotel and souvenirs back home. You can also use the internet to get supplies delivered to your hotel to save you having to carry lots of items and waste your valuable holiday shopping for mundane things like baby food and supplies or fishing flies. If you buy breakable items like pottery and you do not want them broken. Ask the shopkeeper if they can arrange for them to be shipped Pay extra for insurance.

Let's face it: Planning the age-corporate dinner preceded by cocktail hour can get a little formulaic. While doing things the same way year after year makes it easier to plan, it probably won't continue to impress your attendees. If you want to keep them engaged and excited about this part of your event or conference, consider shaking things up with a themed dinner. It doesn't have to be over-the-top fancy or break your budget—in fact, dress-down events and unstuffy foods can be much more fun. Here are five ideas to consider for your future events.
Take Me Out to the Ballgame
Who doesn't love an afternoon spent at the ballpark? Recreate the experience within the confines of your event venue with a more casual dinner, inviting guests to sport gear from their favorite team. Not only will it take some of the pressure off, but it will also provide easy talking points for your attendees (and they might even meet a fellow fan!). You can have a lot of fun with the food on this one, serving passed items like Chicago-style hot dogs and Philly cheesesteaks. Don't forget the peanuts and beer.
All-White Party
Take inspiration from the glamorous fetes held every summer in The Hamptons. Notify guests ahead of time that the dress code for the evening will be head-to-toe white, and let them get creative. You can keep décor simple by following suit, or even drawing in another monochromatic scheme, such as navy or gold, to up the elegance factor. Be sure to serve food that's easy to eat and non-staining (this isn't the time to have red pasta sauce or red wine!). Instead, aim for lighter fare like veggie-forward mains and lots of pretty, all-white desserts.
Picnic in the Park
If there's an outdoor space at your event venue or hotel, it's amazing what you can do with a few strings of twinkle lights. Rather than a formal dinner, set picnic tables with colorful runners and offer a buffet of fun-to-eat picnic foods, such as miniature jars of potato salad or coleslaw, sandwiches like BLTs and cold pasta salad. This is also a great opportunity to break out an epic, huge cheeseboard filled with charcuterie, fresh fruits and veggies, lots of crackers and breads and of course, delicious cheeses. Don't forget about dessert—if your venue permits, you can even have all the fixings for s'mores around firepits.
Breakfast for Dinner
The new season of Stranger Things premieres July 4, and anyone who watches the show will be ready to break out the Eggo waffles any time of day. Take that sentiment to heart by planning a surprise breakfast-for-dinner party, where you pull out all the stops on guests' favorite breakfast foods. Who doesn't love buttermilk pancakes, crisp waffles, bacon and eggs? Or, you could incorporate the popular omelet station, which makes for a hearty, protein-packed meal. There are plenty of ways to offer healthy options with this idea, too, from fresh fruit smoothies to yogurt parfaits and jars of overnight oats.
Hawaiian Celebration
Even if you're not in a tropical locale, hosting a Hawaiian-themed dinner party complete with tiki cocktails, hula and plenty of fresh seafood is sure to please your guests. Incorporate décor in shades of blue inspired by the ocean, and pass out leis to attendees as they walk through the door. Be sure to have a themed music playlist, and encourage Hawaiian-themed shirts, sundresses and flip-flops to match. You can get creative with fun food items like tropical fruit skewers, coconut-battered shrimp, grilled fish and guava cake. Of course, don't forget the Mai Tais!

With the recent information coming out about where some of these defensive players have been practicing in the current Syracuse Orange preseason camp, my brain got moving. With the new defense, there's some wrinkles that are being introduced.
The addition of the rover position changes what the secondary will be looking to do in a few different ways. In the past, you had a traditional free safety/strong safety/nickelback secondary when we were trotting five defensive backs out. The nickel would function primarily as a flex defensive back, either in coverage as a third cornerback or a more free role as a safety. The rover seems to push more as a hybrid linebacker/strong safety that is a much more direct but unpredictable role.
As noted by Eric Coley, he and Andre Cisco have swapped positions, putting Cisco at the rover and Coley at the strong safety position that Cisco has made his own over the last two years. It's been noted that Trill Williams has also been working inside, after being named the starting cornerback. That puts three playmakers, all fully capable of playing in the rover slot, with Aman Greenwood or Neil Nunn playing over the top.
This all said, what popped into my brain was the use of the free safety as a truly pass oriented always over the top safety, and both the rover and boundary safety being hybrid positions, on the field at the same time. It would almost function as a 3-5-3, putting the emphasis on quick reactions and the ability to read an offense. We already know Cisco is fine on that front, and it seems Coley is right there as well.
The flexibility that would provide, with two people, no matter which of the three, as hybrid roles with a run-focus, but the ability to read a pass and react, could be a very different look that could put the Orange defense in a beneficial position. If one or both of the rovers are covering the run as well, it opens up potential stunts from the linebackers as well.
Similarly, if you bring Trill back inside, it creates a pass look that also allows you to attack the run. While he's a good enough cover man to play corner, he's shown he's more than able to bring it in the middle of the field as well. If you need a pass focused down or look in general, the ability to pull him in while adding another true corner on the outside again changes the look dramatically.
The diversity of this defense seems to allow for a ton of flexibility based on whatever the current matchup is, which is just one more reason to see what Tony White is installing this season.

"Eleutheria" by Carolyn Kizer is an effective example of the complex relationships in marriage and work theme. Kizer compares the marriage and work relationships and the way they can affect each other. It is clear when she says that the man only married the woman, "because he believed he couldn't do better" (14). It sets the mood of the confrontation between a wife and a husband at the family level, while the man excels in his place of work. The author excellently and brilliantly captures and expresses the contrast between the two themes of marriage and work through the woman's lamentation of her husband leaving her in "wretched shack" (9), while he "flee to the elegant home" (11)of his friends. Later on this turns around when the woman leaves the man and becomes a marriage counselor while the man continues his excellence in poetry at the expense of his family. Kizer uses different styles to capture the theme in this poem. Among the styles evident in the poem include alliteration, similes, and imagery. The major style is irony which is used throughout the poem.
The author uses alliteration throughout the poem to create a sense of desperation between the two main characters. The style is used in lines falling next to each other rather words following each other. For example, "with your brawling brats, While you flee to the elegant home..." (10-11). The letter W is used as alliteration in these lines. Other letters include O, B, and H. These letters appear in the beginning of adjacent lines to make the poem readable by everyone and keep fluency. Simile is also used in the poem. For example, "as light-footed as the elusive muse..." (16-17) is used to keep the mental picture of the man and the challenges he was facing trying to balance his family and work life. Also, Kizer makes use of imagery to depict the environmental conditions of their lives. An example is the reference to her husband's friends as "brawling brats" (10). The author uses contrast to reinforce the theme of troubled relations of the man. For example, the man goes to teach "first class unruly students." Despite the name of the woman implying freedom she changes its meaning through her contemptuous actions. The man also used to "beat his little sons whom he adored..." (21-22).The woman tells the man, "you're not a man" (32) despite him being her husband. The style of contrast is used to bring out the mental picture of the troubled life that both the man and wife are leading, and also provide the reader with an opportunity to see the genesis of the trouble in this family.
Irony is used to support the contrasts that are laid side by side throughout the poem. The first irony is the change of the meaning of the name Eleutheria. The name means freedom, but the woman is never free. Also, irony is used when the man visits his friends in "elegant house" (11), while his wife remains in "a wretched hat" yet both are working in the same place. The man is also "full of passion and tears" (56) and "famous and lonely" (57). Moreover, it is ironical that a woman who has had a troubled marriage and who treats people including her own husband with contempt becomes a marriage counselor. Then, one is left to wonder about the kind of advice she can give to her clients. Such ironical situation helps the reader to appreciate the essence of a stable family relationship above everything else.
Generally, the theme is marriage and work relationships and is supported by alliteration, irony, imagery, and similes. All these styles are meant to assist the reader to have ease in reading the poem and also give the poem fluency. Imagery and irony brings out the complex nature of the theme of the poem.
