|Riaz Afridi (brother)
Afridi is the youngest of seven brothers and belong to a family where his father is a retired government officer from Khyber Agency. His interest in cricket from a very early age was driven by the fact that their eldest brother, Riaz Afridi, was a Pakistan Test cricketer and he was his inspiration from a very young age. He taught him the basics of cricket including how to bowl and he will always be indebted to him for that help. Due to his success, there was no opposition to his choosing cricket as a career at home but he have also kept up with his education where he have recently completed the matriculation stage (Year 10).[1] Biography
Selected for FATA Under-16
Incredible as it may seem, he had only played tennis-ball cricket until he appeared for FATA Under-16 trials in 2015. This was the first time he was handed a hard ball to bowl with and he was selected for the FATA regional team.He did not disappoint the selectors and picked up 12 wickets and was the highest wicket taker for FATA in PCB's regional Under-16 tournament later that year.
Under-16 Tour of Australia
As a result of his performance in the Under-16 tournament, he was asked to appear in a High-Performance camp in Karachi in 2015 in respect of selection for the Under-16 tour of Australia which took place in November 2015. This was a camp consisting of 20 players and they were all put through their paces in practice games as well as fitness tests.He was picked as part of the 16-man squad for the tour which consisted of three One-Days and three Twenty20 games. As one can imagine, this was a great experience of playing in alien conditions and he feel that he did not disappoint the selectors for their trust on him. In the six games they played, he claimed four wickets which helped them win both the One-Day and Twenty20 series 2-1 apiece.
Selection for the Pakistan Under-19
The period following their return from the Under-16 tour for Australia was a crucial one for them as in this time he continued to impress everyone with some good performances in PCB's Cricket Stars Under-16s Tournament 2016. By taking 19 wickets during this tournament, his name came under the scanner for selection for the important ACC Under-19 Cup which was to be held in Sri Lanka towards the end of 2016. After his fine performances in the regional Under-16s, he received a call to join the camp for the ACC Under-19s Cup selection camp. This was incredible as he was still at the Under-16 level and had played no regional or district Under-19 games. At that point, he felt that to be even called-up for an Under-19 camp for such a prestigious tournament was an achievement in itself. Once at the camp, he was given valuable advice and guidance by the likes of Mudassar Nazar, Mushtaq Ahmed and Mansoor Rana and after performing well in the practice games, he was named in the 19-man squad for the upcoming tournament.
ACC Under-19 Cup in Sri Lanka
He was slightly fortunate that despite not playing any Under-19 cricket at that point, he had some experience of a foreign tour due to his involvement in the Under-16 tour of Australia. As a team, they also had the very useful advice given to them by Mohammad Hafeez who had spoken to them during their training stint at the NCA in Lahore. He had advised us about conditions which they could expect in Sri Lanka and the strategies the bowlers and batsmen could adopt for success in the tournament. He believe that this advice proved useful for the team and for me personally. He took five wickets in the three games he played against Singapore, Afghanistan and Bangladesh and was also able to contribute with the bat with 48 runs off just 33 balls in one of the matches. It was disappointing that they did not win the tournament but playing in an international setting was a great experience for all of them.
PCBs Regional Under-19 Tournament in 2017
With the ACC Under-19 Cup experience under his belt, he was much more confident when he played the Inter Region U-19 One Day Tournament 2017/18. It was great to see that he topped the bowling charts in this tournament with 21 wickets to his name in 8 matches whilst he was also the third-highest scorer for FATA region with 154 runs. Later, he also participated in the Regional Inter District U-19 Tournament 2017-18 and took 29 wickets in four matches.
Role Model
Wasim Akram is a legendary cricketer for Pakistan and whilst he was inspired to take on cricket due to his eldest brother Riaz Afridi, Wasim has always been his idol and he has always looked to copy his style by watching video clips of his bowling. Although he has not had a chance to discuss his bowling with him, he has had the honour of meeting him at an airport. They did not speak for too long as he was on his way to catch his flight but he was with Rashid Latif who knew of his bowling and he told Wasim about his as well.
Bowling strengths and batting abilities
His out-swing has been the main reason for taking wickets in the past especially in my Under-16 days. Later on, he has developed in-swing also which he feel has given him more options to take wickets. Of course, watching Wasim Akram's bowling videos has also allowed him to fine-tune his bowling even further. As Hasan Ali has shown recently, having variation in one's bowling is also important and he also bowl with variety but as always, all that depends on the match situation as well as the bowling conditions. Whilst bowling is a core strength for him, he also consider himself an all-rounder and always play each game with the intention of excelling in bowling, batting and fielding.
The road ahead
As a player, one is always looking to improve oneself and also setting challenging targets in the future. He is no different in that sense and his top target is to represent Pakistan in the ICC Under-19 World Cup in 2018 which will be held in New Zealand. There can be no greater honour than to represent one's country and he will do what he can to ensure that he is selected for this tournament,at a personal level, to play in the PSL is another goal he has set himself as well. Before he can achieve any of these targets, he know that a lot of hard work is needed to show the world what he is capable of. He is currently taking part in the FATA Regional Under-19 cricket camp in Islamabad under the supervision of Coach Ayaz Akbar Yousafzai and Saqib Faqeer where they are putting in a lot of work on all skills. The PCB in this regard has done a tremendous job to provide players like them great opportunities to prove their self by creating tournaments such as the One-Day Pentangular Cup which is scheduled sometime after Eid. It will be a dream come true if he can book a place in the Pakistan Under-19 ICC World Cup squad and achieve something for His country as well. After that milestone, he would love to take part in the PSL and then work towards representing Pakistan at the senior level as well.
Rejected BPL Offer
Afridi rejected a contract offer from Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) to play for his U-19 national side. This is Shaheen Afridi we are talking about, probably not the Afridi you were expecting but the young gun surely is a prodigy. He isn't even related to the popular Shahid Afridi.Shaheen Afridi joined Pakistan's Under 19 team to prepare for the U-19 World Cup instead of going for easy money at the BPL.[2] Rejected BPL Offer
Pakistan Rout Ireland in U-19 World Cup
Shaheen Shah Afridi's display of traditional fast-bowling saw him claim a six-wicket haul as Pakistan put their ICC Under-19 World Cup campaign back on track with a nine-wicket win over Ireland.Back in action for the first time since when Afghanistan shocked the 2004 and 2006 champions by five wickets, Pakistan put up a clinical performance to keep alive their Super League aspirations.Afridi's incredible return of six for 15 in just 8.5 overs, including three maidens, was the best ever return for Pakistan in a World Cup, as Ireland were bundled out for 97 at the Cobham Oval.[3] U-19 World Cup
Afridi Impresses Rahul Dravid
Pakistan's young pacer, Shaheen Shah Afridi impressed Indian batting legend and their U-19 coach Rahul Dravid, who praised him in front of Pakistan U-19 team manager, Nadeem Khan."Shaheen has been outstanding in the tournament and he has helped Pakistan claim crucial wins before that too," Nadeem Khan said in a media report.Though Pakistan U-19 team suffered a nightmarish defeat against India in the semi-final of U-19 World Cup by 203 runs while chasing 273 runs, the left-arm fast bowler caught the eyes of cricket fraternity."Many legends of the game and team managers came to me during the tournament to applaud Shaheen's skills," he said."Even Indian coach Rahul Dravid came to me after the match and said Shaheen has all it takes to be a future star and become a real asset to the national side," he added.[4] Afridi Impresses Rahul Dravid
ICC Announces U-19 Team
International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced 12-member Under 19 squad which includes Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi as well.World Cup winners India's five players have been picked in the ICC squad who are Prithvi Shaw, Anukul Roy, Manjot Kalra, Shubman Gill and Kamlesh Nagarkoti.South Afric's Raynard van Tonder, Wandile Makwetu and Gerald Coetzee have also been selected in the team, and one player each from New Zealand, Afghanistan and West Indies complete the 12-man team.Interestingly, no player from Australia has been included in the ICC squad which were the runners-up of the tournament. Same is the case with England.[5] ICC Announces U-19 Team

Lahore Qalandars Pick Shaheen Afridi for PSL
Pakistan Super League franchise Lahore Qalandars have roped in young sensation Shaheen Afridi for the third edition of the popular league, which will be this next year. The 17-year-old has played just two first-class matches so far. In his debut match for Khan Research Labs, Afridi scalped figures of 8/39 in the second innings of the match. In the first innings of the match, he picked a lone wicket after bowling 19 overs.His efforts though went in vain as Rawalpindi won the match by 105 runs. Afridi's side were bowled out for 77 runs in the second innings. It was the best ever figures for a Pakistani cricketer on debut.[6] Lahore Qalandars Pick Shaheen Afridi for PSL

This is a sweetly illustrated, simple book for young children learning the alphabet. The author describes herself and her husband like this: "They are Catholic, Pro-life, and they vote. Thanks Be to God." Madruga, whose son Joseph Francis was the inspiration for the book, envisioned that ABC's for Little Catholic Boys and Girls would serve three important purposes. It is obviously designed to teach the alphabet through colorful illustrations and short, easy-to-remember phrases; the phrases convey significant information about the Catholic religion; and all the while the book provides an engrossing activity for small children during mass or other times when quiet is called for. Each letter has a page, and surrounding the large brightly colored letter itself are little pictures woven within the letter, not unlike the illuminated letters in ancient copies of the Holy Bible. For example, since O is for "offering," inside the letter O, thrusting through the hole, is the offering basket. In a rectangle around each letter is the phrase to be remembered and associated with the letter (for O, "in thanks of God's blessing"). There is a rosary hanging off the letter R. There are a boy and a girl, kneeling—worshipping—on either side of the W.
There is much to praise in this worthwhile lesson book that creatively introduces key religious concepts such as Pope, Incense, Vatican, and Queen of Heaven. One wishes there had been some information offered about the illustrator, Victoria Pennington, who has done a wonderful job presenting the material. There is little doubt that Catholic parents will appreciate this alphabetical guide to Catholicism, offering the little ones education and enjoyment at Mass or at any time.

By Irina Virbitskaite (July 2014).
PSI 2014, the Ershov Informatics Conference, was held in St. Petersburg, Russia, from June 24 to 27, 2014. The conference is the premier international forum in Russia for research and its applications in computer, software and information sciences. The event brings together academic and industrial researchers, developers and users to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences and concerns in the conference area. In doing so, the forum provides a venue for building up research collaborations between the rapidly growing Russian informatics community and its international counterparts. Also, the conference welcomes both young researchers looking for international cooperation in computer science and established scientists willing to attract new colleagues to their research.
Altogether, the conference (including the workshops) had more than 150 participants. The main topics of the conference were theoretical computer science, programming methodology, technologies for program systems design, and new information technologies. The conference program included five keynote talks in addition to 16 high-quality regular, 11 short, and 2 system and experimental presentations (selected by the PC from among 80 papers submitted to the conference by researchers from 29 countries).The post-conference proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
In the FME invited talk "Languages and types for linked data", professor Vladimiro Sassone (University of Southampton, UK) presented a language-based model which captures concurrent queries and updates over linked data that aims to describe ubiquitous and semi-structured data formats on the Web. This allows diverse data sources to link to each other, forming a loosely structured Web of Data.
The conference took place in the New Peterhof Hotel and at the university campus of the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics, Saint Petersburg State University. The cultural program included a city bus tour and an excursion to the State Hermitage. The conference dinner held on shipboard on the last day was greatly appreciated by all the participants.
The conference organizers acknowledge support from industry, funding agencies as well as academic organizations such as FME.

Data on adults and children referred into NHS services for severe or enduring mental health problems and those referred into Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services is captured within the Mental Health Services Data Set (MHSDS) and the IAPT data set. This data has been captured on clinical systems as part of patient care.
These data sets contain information about patients and the services that they received, which is used to improve care and monitor policy initiatives.
The MHSDS covers not only services provided in hospitals, but also in outpatient clinics and in the community, where most of the people in contact with these services are treated.
MHSDS statistics are for anyone wanting a comprehensive national picture of the use of specialist mental health, learning disabilities or autism spectrum disorder services in England, including:
- policy makers
- commissioners
- mental health service users
- members of the public
The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme began in 2008 and has transformed treatment of anxiety disorders and depression in England. Over 900,000 people now access adult IAPT services each year. They are provided with a range of talking therapies and outcomes are measured at each appointment. The IAPT data set captures details about patients, services, therapies and outcome measures.
The mental health team also collects the Assuring Transformation (AT) collection. This collects data about people with learning disabilities or autism who are admitted to hospital. It was set up in reaction to the Winterbourne view scandal. Data is collected to make sure people are not in hospital if they would be better looked after in the community.
It is expected that the AT collection will stop in the future, as MHSDS now includes people in contact with learning disability services.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be inspired to finish the season as Serie A's top goalscorer after watching Lionel Messi's latest feat, according to Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.
Barcelona star Messi scored twice to inspire his side to a 3-0 Champions League semi-final first-leg win over Liverpool on Wednesday, reaching 600 club goals in the process.
Ronaldo was first to that landmark after netting in Juve's 1-1 draw with Inter last Saturday - his 27th strike since his move from Real Madrid last year.
He trails Messi by 21 goals this season, though, and is three behind Fabio Quagliarella in the race to finish as the top marksman in Serie A in 2018-19.
But Allegri thinks the 34-year-old will be fired up in the derby clash with Torino on Friday given Messi has caught him in the goalscoring stakes.

"Messi is a good stimulus for Cristiano," he told a news conference on Thursday. "We have a derby and Messi achieved that [600 goals] yesterday.
"He will be fired up to move ahead in the scoring and he aims to finish as top-scorer in Serie A."
Allegri also had words of praise for Aaron Ramsey, who will join the Serie A champions on a free transfer from Arsenal at the end of the season.
The Wales international has already played his last game for the Gunners, with a hamstring injury to keep him out of the final two Premier League matches and the Europa League semi-final with Valencia.
"He is a quality player, with goals in his legs, a lot of energy and great timing. He's a great signing," Allegri said.Published 02 May 2019, 19:00 IST

Way back in 2009, PHP 5.3 was released to the world and with it brought support for PHP namespaces — a way of easily separating your code from other developers' code, which has since become the de facto way of encapsulating functionality across the PHP ecosystem.
With namespaces, multiple packages could use the same class and function names without conflict, because each one would operate in their own PHP namespaces. Unfortunately, many PHP developers who focus on development in frameworks that de-emphasis these features such as WordPress may be in the dark on this extremely useful language feature.
This talk aims to shed light on PHP namespaces, especially targeted developers who haven't yet encountered them. Attendees will leave the talk with a firm grasp on PHP namespaces, how they work, and how they can be implemented in plugins and themes.

Virginia Tech has promoted safeties coach Justin Hamilton to defensive coordinator to replace longtime coordinator Bud Foster, who is retiring after the team's upcoming bowl game.
Hamilton, 37, a former Hokies player, returned to his alma mater in 2018 as director of player development for defense and was promoted to safeties coach this past season.
"Justin has earned this opportunity to lead our defense and our football team," Hokies coach Justin Fuente said in a statement. "Everyone in our program has a great deal of respect for him and his abilities. Coach Foster has reiterated to me on several occasions that Justin is ready for this next step in his coaching career. I feel the same way and am convinced he's exactly the right fit for this role at Virginia Tech."
Fuente also announced that cornerbacks coach Brian Mitchell and running backs coach Zohn Burden won't return to his staff.
Foster, 60, the architect of Virginia Tech's Lunch Pail defense, is the longest continually tenured FBS assistant coach at the same school. He was hired by former Hokies coach Frank Beamer as inside linebackers coach in 1987 and was elevated to co-defensive coordinator in 1995. He assumed control of the defense the next season and has held that role ever since.
Foster won the Broyles Award as the sport's top assistant coach in 2006 and was a finalist three other times.
Hamilton, a native of Clintwood, Virginia, played running back, receiver and defensive back for the Hokies under Beamer from 2002 to '05. He was a seventh-round draft choice of the Cleveland Browns in 2006 and spent parts of two seasons in the NFL.

The functional, fashionable and black-owned activewear brand you should try
Whether you are a die-hard Zumba fan, love kickboxing or can't get enough of your cycling class, staying active is the key to a healthy lifestyle. If you're headed to class in your age-old over-sized t-shirt and black leggings, then its time for a change.
If you're looking for a way to spice up your workout wardrobe, Tia Robinson has got you covered. The active dance enthusiast created her contemporary lifestyle brand, Vertical Activewear in 2017. The brand features fashionable, high performance, and interchangeable pieces including sports bras, leggings, tops, and shorts. We spoke to Robinson about how she is inspiring and motivating women to feel confident with her brand.
What was the driving force behind creating Vertical Activewear?
I started pole dancing in 2009 and there were no activewear lines that made clothing for our workout type. Fast forward almost 10 years, the industry has grown significantly, yet the fitness apparel market still remains fragmented. I felt it was time to do something, and thus Vertical Activewear was born. The brand is for women who are committed to self-awareness, self-expression and self-care.
How did you develop the name Vertical Activewear?
Vertical is an industry term used in dance and alternative fitness industries- think of the terms "vertical lines" for dance or "going vertical" (taking risks) for extreme sports. We decided to name the brand something that would resonate with the alternative fitness community and encourage customers to reach their highest goal or to move outside of their comfort zones.
What is your new line going to entail?

When I was in journalism school, we were taught the classic "5 w's" of news writing: who, what, where, when and why.
I thought of the "5 w's" in perusing the web sites of some businesses.
Most were good at explaining:
1. who they are,
2. what products or services they sell,
3. where they offer them (online, physical locations, both) and
4. when they offer them (24/7, Monday-Saturday, other times)
But some failed the all-important why question.
Why should prospective customers buy from them?.
In describing their services, they fell back on default adjectives such as:
- customized
- dedicated
- exceptional
- hands-on
- innovative
- outstanding
- personalized
- proactive
- unique
The problem is that many businesses use these words in their marketing content.
And some sprinkle in well-worn phrases such as "think outside the box" or "ask the tough questions" or "passionate about what we do."
So if you think outside the box in providing attentive, customized, exceptional, hands-on, innovative and unique products or services, and your competitors say the same thing, then how is a prospective customer to decide whether to buy from you or a competitor?
Here are some ways to differentiate your marketing content:
1. Take the customer's perspective.
In looking at the home pages of some accounting and consulting firms that provide services to nonprofit organizations, I noticed that many started with the usual litany of their experience and services. And some threw in that catch-all phrase, "We understand the needs of our clients."
The exceptions were the firms that started with what those needs are.
One began with the mission of nonprofits, and then explained how it could help them accomplish their mission.
Another began by briefly noting the rigorous tax reporting requirements for nonprofits, and then explaining how it could help them with tax compliance.
On your home page, you can stand out if you start with a short statement of a customer need — and how you can meet that need.
You don't have to go into every need — just a simple statement of a common customer goal, issue or challenge (like tax compliance).
You show you're thinking of the customer first.
2. Provide examples.
Instead of simply saying you are a problem solver, show how you solve problems for clients.
Include examples and case studies of how your organization helped a client to increase sales, save costs, recruit talented people, resolve a tax issue or obtain financing.
3. Use customer testimonials.
Some businesses say they offer strong, superb, superior, tremendous or unique services (pick your adjective), but offer nothing to support such statements. No client testimonials. No examples. Nothing.
Back up your claims with customer testimonials.
Thus, if you say you offer personalized service, follow this with a quote from a customer praising your personalized service.
4. Offer original content.
Write a blog, reports, white papers, profiles of people in your company and other content for your web site. If you don't have the time, consider hiring a writer, a designer and other professionals to help you.
5. Use verbs, not adjectives.
Adjectives in your marketing copy are so much glitter: bright, shiny and superficial.
Verbs have power.
They show you're taking action.
To help your clients and customers.
And how you're taking action.
What you're doing for them.
6. Engage your readers.
Invite visitors to your site to write a guest column for your blog, participate in your webinar, answer your survey or otherwise engage with you.
The 5 "W's"
A final suggestion.
Use the 5 "W's" as a simple check list in writing content for your web site.
I've noticed, for example, that some companies fail the "Who" question.
There's nothing about the principals of the business.
So there you have it.

Cards Against Humanity, the irreverent card game whose business model relies heavily on snark and pranks, is in the midst of its own Black Friday sale — offering 99 percent off certain products every ten minutes. Those products have included such things as a $20 bill for twenty cents, and a 1.5-carat diamond ring for $32.15.
"Holy f**k have we got some deals. Every ten minutes, a new deal will go live on this page… As the ancient Mayans foretold, a savings event of this magnitude only occurs once every thousand years. Act now while supplies last."
Over on 99percentoffsale.com, every ten minutes a new deal goes up, and the item in question can be yours for one percent of the asking price. True to form — and in keeping with Cards Against Humanity's tendency to embrace the ridiculous — the website features glaring, white-on-red scrolling text and '90s-era graphics. And the deals are absolutely phenomenal, although some of them are things few people are going to actually want.
For example, as these words are being typed, the next deal is ten 50-pound bags of dried garbanzo beans. Ordinarily retailing for $579, one lucky buyer will have purchased them for $5.79.
#Cooking Jack Rabbit Chick Peas / Garbanzo Beans (Pack of 3) 16 oz Bags Best ... https://t.co/Aujwj7PNxU pic.twitter.com/XNVaavyrGN— Tasty Gift (@stupeles88) August 16, 2016
Other deals are equally weird. At 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, an unknown quantity of $20 bills were sold for twenty cents each ("an unbelievable $19.80 in savings!"). At 11:00 a.m. an authentic, 17th-Century Italian polearm worth $1,850 was sold for $18.50. At 11:30 a.m. a "Presidential Mahogany Casket," quoted as being worth $3,199, went for $31.90. The product statement read, "protect your lifeless body from microbes and insects!"
In case you were wondering, all of these deals are legit — or at least, that's the claim being made in the attendant FAQ.
"Yes. All of these products are actually available for 99% off, and if you purchase something we will actually ship it to you."
It remains unclear, as of this writing, if the buyers have to pay the shipping. This might make caskets — or 500-pound orders of garbanzo beans — considerably less attractive.
This is the latest in Cards Against Humanity's ongoing annual tradition of holding a Black Friday prank. If you've ever played the game, you know that sarcasm, gallows humor, and almost-appalling inappropriateness rules the day. And the makers have extended that sentiment to their Black Friday pranks.
For example, in 2017, as Market Watch reported at the time, the company announced that it was getting out of the games industry. They were allegedly keen on creating a new brand of potato chips, "Prongles." And in 2016, according to Twisted Sifter, they purchased land and started digging a hole — nothing more, nothing less — with the promise to keep digging as long as the money kept coming in.
So head on over to the website linked a few paragraphs above and see what Black Friday "deals" you can get — such as a bust of former president Barack Obama for $5.50 — before the day is out.

A young Aboriginal man is threatening to go on a hunger strike because he fears repercussions from prison guards if he gives evidence to the royal commission into the Northern Territory's youth detention system.
Images of Dylan Voller strapped to a chair wearing a hood while in Darwin's notorious Don Dale Youth Detention Centre shocked many when they were screened by ABC's Four Corners program in July, sparking the royal commission.
Voller, who is now being held at the Darwin Correctional Centre for adult prisoners, is due to give evidence to the commission this week.
But his mother Joanne Voller says guards at the centre, some of whom used to work at Don Dale, have been threatening her son and have made him terrified about appearing before the commission.
"I have never seen my son so scared in all of his life," she said in a statement on Tuesday after visiting her son.
"He has said he will start a hunger strike to fight for his own safety.
"They are saying he may not even be allowed to attend court to speak with the royal commission and may have to give evidence via video link, under the eye of his abusers. He is too scared to do this."
Voller's family has repeatedly called for his release from prison so he can speak freely before the commission.
He has also previously requested a transfer to Alice Springs prison.
But his mother says that prison guards in Darwin have told him that going to Alice Springs would "increase his chances of getting bashed" because of a lack of CCTV cameras there.
Senior counsel assisting the commission Tony McAvoy SC told the commission as it resumed on Monday that special arrangements were in place to protect vulnerable witnesses.
They will be able to have their identities kept secret, give evidence during closed sessions and have people on hand to support them.
"Our first priority is to protect them," Mr McAvoy said.

No Easy Options in Russia Sanctions Over Crimea Land Grab
Vladimir Putin's annexation of Crimea on Tuesday increases the pressure on western governments to hit Russia with tough sanctions but, as momentum for action grows, there are no easy options.
Trade and economic sanctions could do real damage to the Russian economy and Moscow's power of reprisal is limited, analysts say.
But punitive measures would not come without a price for the countries adopting them, hence the diplomatic horse-trading currently going on over the share-out of the burden.
US Vice President Joe Biden warned Tuesday that further sanctions were inevitable, and, in the first concrete reaction to Putin signing a treaty reintegrating Ukraine's Crimean peninsula into Russia, Britain suspended military cooperation and arms exports.
The move will increase the pressure on France to follow suit by refusing to deliver the advanced Mistral warships it promised to Russia under a controversial 2011 accord.
But will Paris really be prepared to put a $1.4 billion dollar contract and 1,000 shipyard jobs on the line?
Not immediately anyway, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius indicated.
"On the one hand we cannot envisage supplying Russia indefinitely with arms given the way it has behaved, on the other hand there is the reality of jobs and the economy," Fabius said.
The minister made it clear that, if France were to take such a drastic step, it would expect Britain to match it by targeting London-based oligarchs with the power and influence to drag Putin to the negotiating table.
But can David Cameron's government afford to alienate the Russian super-rich who pumped more than £500 million pounds into London's property market last year, contributing to a broader recovery of prices that has, in turn, lifted the wider economy?
Similarly Germany could block energy giant RWE's planned sale of a subsidiary to a Russian-controlled group, but does it really want to jeopordise a 76-billion-euro trade relationship or risk Moscow cutting off its gas supplies?
"Sanctions always hurt those who apply them, sometimes more than those who are targeted," says Gian Maria Fara, the president of Italian think tank Eurispes.
"And for those subjected to sanctions, an external enemy inflicting pain on the country is always useful.
"The (Italian) Renzi government has backed the European position, with its grand declarations of principle, but in reality it is business as usual."
– Sanctions pressure mounting –
Prior to Britain's move on Tuesday, international action against Russia had been limited to asset freezes and visa bans targeting a handful of individuals involved in the process that led to Crimea returning to Russian control.
Options that would be tougher in terms of symbolism — such as expelling Russia from the G8 or asking Putin to stay away from the D-Day anniversary commemorations in June — have been left unused so far.
But German Chancellor Angela Merkel has appeared to be preparing the way for a switch to actions that may have a painful kickback for European companies.
"We have interests in Russia, but they also have interests," she said. "We have to insist that international law is respected and we cannot stand by and do nothing as it is swept aside."
Francois Heisbourg, of France's Foundation for Strategic Research (FRS), notes: "Germany's employers and unions are united in their opposition to any sanctions.
"But the Russians have a lot more to lose from sanctions than the Europeans — Russia represents about one percent of EU external trade but the EU accounts for 50 percent of Russia's."
Heisbourg argues that the notion of EU dependence on Russian gas is overblown. Stocks are high on the back of a mild winter and the shale gas revolution in the United States has made it easier to source alternative supplies.
Against that backdrop, Merkel's recent shift of tone on Russia from soothing to stern is significant, Heisbourg argues.
"The Europeans learned, with Iran, how to put an economic and financial sanctions regime in place and organise it in an effective way."
A top foreign policy aide to Putin on Tuesday ridiculed the steps taken by the west so far as worthy of "irony and sarcasm".
But according to Dominique Moisi, of the French Institute for International Relations (IFRI), the Russian leader would be wrong to underestimate the possibility of a tougher raft of measures and their likely impact.
"You can feel already that big players in the economy and the stock market are getting nervous over Russia's growing isolation.
"The US and European positions on sanctions are getting closer. I can see the US Congress adopting far-reaching measures that will affect third countries who continue to do business with Russia and the Europeans will be obliged to follow."

Hi everyone, As promised, I have updated the calendar of our teleconferences with new proposed dates for November and December. The calendar roughly follows the same rhythm as in the past couple of months, with a meeting every two weeks on Wednesdays at noon Boston time (9AM SF, 5PM London, 6PM Paris/Gothenburg, Midnight Shanghai and 4AM+1D Oakland) The next proposed dates are: Nov 7th, Nov 21st, Dec 5th, Dec 19th. Nov 21st is the day before Thanksgiving in the US. Is that likely to be a problem for our (many) US-based participants? Likewise, please get in touch if you are unlikely to make any other of the calls. We will go ahead with the dates above unless there is a strong objection from a significant portion of the group. Remember: you can subscribe to the iCal here: https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/3b91sd7kb2otj3pvog0j4lbdas%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics Thanks, Olivier

Dinolfo: Sign our Petition to Tell Albany to Fix the Enhanced STAR 'Debacle'
County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo launched a petition calling on New York State Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the leaders of the New York State Legislature to fix recent changes to New York State's Enhanced STAR program. Dinolfo is being joined in the effort by New York State Senators Joe Robach and Rich Funke, who will host the petition at their District Offices and have continued to advocate against these misguided changes to Enhanced STAR. Dinolfo's petition can be signed online or in person at the County Office Building, at Robach's District Office, and Funke's District Office.
"New York's high property taxes are the number one reason many seniors find it difficult to remain in the homes where they built their lives and raised their families," said Dinolfo. "It is unconscionable that Albany would make the Enhanced STAR program so complicated that many seniors are now ineligible, costing them hundreds of dollars in needed savings. I ask residents to sign our petition calling on Governor Cuomo and Legislative leaders to fix this 'debacle' and provide our seniors with every cent of property tax relief they deserve."
In January of 2019, New York State implemented new changes to the Enhanced STAR program. Enhanced STAR is a supplemental property tax relief for senior citizens age 65 and older with qualifying incomes. Enhanced STAR applies to the school tax portion of a senior's property tax bill and can amount to hundreds of dollars in savings annually.
"I have worked diligently throughout my career to ensure that the STAR program and Enhanced STAR program are a reality for New York's overburdened taxpayers," said Robach. "Any changes to this program should be for the betterment of the hard working men, women and families of our state and should not make this process more complicated. I am proud to join my colleagues, Cheryl Dinolfo and Rich Funke, in this effort to reverse these unnecessary changes to the important Enhance STAR program."
"I am proud to stand side by side with my partners in government and the seniors of our state to call on the Governor and the Senate Majority to reverse the changes made in this year's budget to the Enhanced Star Program," said Funke (R-C-I, Fairport). "We can all agree that these latest changes will continue to add to the confusion and stress felt by the roughly 2.6 million residents who receive this benefit. My office currently has a petition readily available to sign for those who wish to join us."
As a result of Albany's changes to the programs this year, seniors seeking to claim the Enhanced STAR property tax credit or exemption were required to submit an income-verification form to their town tax assessor by March 1, 2019. Due to the confusion involved with this deadline, in addition to the complexities of the form and the income verification process, many seniors have found that they are ineligible to receive the Enhanced STAR benefit this year. The program is made only more confusing by the fact that some seniors receive the traditional Enhanced STAR property tax exemption – which would be applied to their tax bill – while others receive the Enhanced STAR property tax credit – which is sent by check – largely depending on when their home was purchased.
These changes have led to widespread confusion and concern as the September 30th school property tax payment deadline approaches. In fact, the program has even been called a "debacle" by town assessors who are being inundated with calls from concerned seniors.
Dinolfo's petition calling on Albany to fix recent changes to the Enhanced STAR program can be found online at www2.monroecounty.gov/enhanced-star.
It can also be signed in-person at the following locations:
• Monroe County Office Building – 39 W. Main Street, Rochester, NY 14614
• Office of Senator Joe Robach – 2300 W. Ridge Road, Rochester, NY 14626
• Office of Senator Rich Funke – 230 Packett's Landing, Fairport, NY 14450
All petitions will be transmitted to New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo and the leaders of the New York State Legislature to demand immediate action to provide fair property tax relief for seniors in Monroe County and across New York.

Scientists from state-backed institutions are seeking government approval for a cancer detection technique that only needs a drop of blood to zero in on RNA molecules linked to more than a dozen types of the killer disease.
The method, developed by a research team from the National Cancer Center Japan and other institutions, detects cancer-associated microRNAs, molecules that regulate gene expression, the scientists said.
The new diagnosis will be cheaper and much less invasive than biomarker testing because it can detect microRNAs linked to 13 types of cancers in a single drop of blood, they said.
The new method is also more accurate than the biomarker testing and can detect early-stage cancers, they said.
It can find bile duct, bladder, breast, colon, esophageal, liver, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate and stomach cancers, as well as glioma and sarcoma.
Research to date has mostly been conducted using blood samples preserved for relatively long periods of time. The team is conducting clinical trials involving around 3,000 cancer patients to ensure the test's accuracy.

72 more virgins have officially joined the fight against Daesh, and Islamic Extremism. Their mission has been dubbed "Operation Allahu Quackbar"
What better way to fight terrorism, then by turning all of the terrorists into ducks? Remove all of their weaponry, and give them toilet bowl brushes, how dangerous are they now? This is exactly what 4Chan has started doing with "Operation Allahu Quackbar."
This is probably one of the greatest things the internet has ever done. They have taken a barbaric group, bent on destruction, and reduced them to an absolute joke. I bet it's kind of hard to be a terrorist, when your theme song has been turned into a duck marching song.
Rainbow magazines that shoot love!
Check out the beard on that duck.
We can tell this is photo-shopped, everyone knows ISIS doesn't practice proper hygiene.
The terror organization known as Daesh has yet to respond to 4Chan's attacks. Rumor has it, that right now the propaganda department at their headquarters is in complete disarray, while they try to draft up a new theme song.
You can join in on the fun here.

"Having a keen interest in working with the challenges of a muted palette led me to a wonderful discovery. The results of this artistic exploration are represented in this series of three pieces, painted in acrylic on canvas. The palette was metallic silver, black, white and gray.
The Journey Series explores an architectural and iconic view of our Roads. Simple metaphors abound in our art and literature, attempting to draw the shadows of our life Journey with the Highways of the Soul. Straight lines, curves, intersections, left turns and right; we struggle to find our light, our path, our road.
Process required techniques and medium additives which were new for me as an artist. The challenges were exciting, creating emotion, movement and silver palette. The flowing paints require vision, medium constraint, and dedicated detail."

"Painting gives meaning to my existence."
For female U.S. Army veteran Barbara Barnett, painting provides refuge from the demands of PTSD/MST. Participating in several art therapy programs has enabled Barbara to simultaneously heal herself while creating images that inspire others. Barbara paints strong women warriors—characters imbued with "soul." She hopes that her creations will spotlight the courage and strength exemplified by fellow female veterans.
Barbara served in the Medical Corp in Germany during the Vietnam War. After returning home, Barbara worked as an organizational consultant for 25 years. Barbara creates portraits of female veterans. She explains, "These warriors represent the many alter egos which come onto the canvas, revealing themselves rather than a conscious intent to paint someone. These women express deep emotions and strength. They come through with their distinctive character and reflect self-empowerment, hope, and fearlessness."
Presently, Barbara is an active member of several art therapy programs targeted at assisting veterans, including the Veteran Artist Program (VAP), Military Experience.org, and the Endowment for Veteran Artists Campaign. Through her participation in these art therapy groups, Barbara has created a strong network of support, discovered an effective means of mitigating PTSD/MST, and positioned herself to uplift others.
Barbara is devoted to empowering fellow veterans and women through her art. She seeks opportunities to donate commissions from sales of her work to benefit the veteran artist groups to which she belongs, and describes giving back to these organizations purely as a "joy." Barbara generously donates all of her earnings from ArtLifting to their Community Partner Fund which provides art supplies to shelters and social service agencies nationwide. Beyond her financial contributions, Barbara's art in and of itself provides a sense of shared understanding to veteran viewers. The Leedy-Voulkos Art Center featured Barbara's Women Warriors series in a solo exhibit.
Phoenix-area photographer and friend of Barbara's, Kate Payne, explains: "Barbara is a talented and humble artist with a passion that runs deeper than any life experience. As a fellow veteran artist, her work provides me with powerful and deep emotions and strength. We have similar life experiences and from my perspective, her work emits self-empowerment and fearlessness, even when provided in the form of a frightening truth. Barbara's art provides respite to women and veterans that no therapy or life experiences can duplicate.

I have been thinking about Star Trek today. Specifically, I have been thinking about gaming in Star Trek. Star Trek has had a few RPG's based on it. Fasa, Last Unicorn and Decipher have all done games based on the material, not to mention Prime Directive. They all had varying levels of success. Fasa, in particular, had an "interesting" time with the fact they came up with their own canon for the game world, only to have it directly contradicted later by the rights holder. Star Trek, in general, seems like a no brainer for a scifi game setting, that anyone would love. Unfortunately, i there may be a significant hurdle to making a satisfying RPG in that setting.
The Star Trek setting, on the face of things, has a lot to offer. It has a lot of room to operate, there is a big galaxy out there, with lots of races, settings, and superluminal travel to get around. You have ray guns and batleths. You have wars, political intrigue, and exploration. There are many themes you can play with and the show had a history of even some challenging notions popping up. The setting universe is pretty much a vast playground.
However, there is a catch. A lot of Star Trek's appeal comes from the being the crew of a starship, that occasionally ends up in battles. In a TV show or movie, there is the exciting battle, where the captain gives orders, and the ship maneuvers and fires. In gaming practice, however, having a single captain who controls the ships movement, and actions, can be less fun if you are not the one playing the captain.
That is, of course, a little bit of an exaggeration. There are some things you can do in that ship battle scene, to give the other players something to do. You could allow people manning the individual stations have individual die rolls related to their ship officers area of expertise. This would still be much more constrained than a lot players might be unsatisfied. In particular, what would your ships counselor or doctor do in that scenario?
You could also say, why worry about it, because the space combat did not come up that often in the shows. Well, that may well be, but they came up often enough to be somewhat iconic. They have many more space battles in the movies, which is likely due to the increased effects budget. They are moments of supreme tension in the films. Star Trek 2, in particular, relied pretty heavily on the space battle scenes.
So, here you are with a situation where these scenes are important, but a lot of the traditional game design choices would make them less than satisfying. I think that this is a situation where there are a number of solutions.
The Star Trek universe is huge. It is spread over thousands of worlds, and not every interesting story in that space has to be in Starfleet, or a ship of the line. Deep Space 9 is held by many to be the best Star Trek series ever. While it eventually had the Defiant, it's main action was based of the station. You have a range of options with a station as your setting, intrigue and murders on the station, to political conflicts, and maybe even repelling an invasion.
Beyond that, you could be playing as the crew of a merchant ship, scientific vessels, and other ships that don't have a lot of combat capabilities. The only involvement in ship to ship combat at that point would be in running away. You would still run into danger when you got to destinations. You could have a lot of the same setting stories that one has on a station, but with more locals. Also the scientific vessel has away missions to different planets. Discovery and peril are on the table for every new world.
Another thing you could do, that maybe not everyone would think of, is a game set in the headquarters of the Federation. Imagine the political intrigue that goes on with a over a hundred worlds trying to coexist. Espionage takes on a whole new direction when you have psychics, shape shifters, and cloaking devices as part of the landscape.
These are all workarounds based on the notion you are working with a straightforward classic design game system. A lot of the older systems start with the notion of working out the war game based rules first, and then add in rules for other things. These days, there are other options available, other directions to take.
So games like Fate and other newer games take a more narrative direction. The idea is the games story is less beholden to miniature wargame structure, but to a story telling structure, with the players effecting the story in ways formerly reserved solely for game masters. This sort of structure makes the "captain problem" less evident. When switch to a ship to ship combat model, things become more abstract.
The players could maybe help shape the problems in the conflict, declaring the enemies cloaking device is being compromised by a neutrino leak, or they are in a nebula that interferes with the sensors. They can affect the environment, and attempt less direct changes, like adding an aspect to the ships shields that they are cycling through the harmonic frequencies. The whole point being to allow the players more control of the scene overall, to feel less like the one guy has all the control and everyone else is a along for the ride.
"Narrative" games is a pretty broad range to use to describe a game, but they do have some common elements, and one of those elements is that the process for creating the story tends to be a bit more collaborative, which actually would work pretty well with a Star Trek game.
Songs of Stars and Trek
One system I have been threatening for a long time to convert Star Trek to, is Green Ronin's Song of Ice and Fire rules system. This system is very much about maintaining the house your PC's are part of. There are a lot of rules built around realm maintenance. Tehre are rules about managing the different aspects of the house, its military and financial resources.
It doesn't require a lot of imagination to see how that could be converted to rules about maintaining a starship, or a space station. Shave the serial numbers off some of the warfare rules and suddenly they cover ship to ship combat. Instead of keeps, you use shield generators. Instead of towns folk, you might have a crew rating of some sort, and bio neural circuitry, or variable geometry warp nacelles. it is a doable conversion, and changes how the players approach the ship in the game.
Part of the rules involve the players creating the noble house as part of the character creation process. These rules would be converted to defining the starship instead. Is it a pure research vessel with minimal weapons, or is it a frontline warship. Is it a Federation ship, or is it a Ferengi trading vessel. What makes this particular ship unique? What role will each player take on the ship? Each role effects the qualities of ship. By making the ship creation a group effort, it makes it gives the players more of a feeling of ownership.
It is an idea I have poked at a few times in the past, but I have not actually sat down and made it a reality. Perhaps writing this little essay will drive me to actually do it. It will take a fair amount of effort to lay down the groundwork.
Anyway, those are my rambling thought on role playing in the world of Star Trek. I would be interested if anyone reading this actually had a lot of experience in playing in a Star Trek setting. I did some back in the early 90's but no actual campaigns.

MONTMELO, Spain — The director of the track that hosts the Spanish Grand Prix says the circuit's owners are seeking to strike a new deal with Formula One management amid speculation that the race's days are numbered.
Barcelona-Catalunya Circuit director Joan Fontsere tells The Associated Press that negotiations have been ongoing since regional government authorities met with Formula One Group CEO and Chairman Chase Carey in March.
"Since then we have been working with a team from (FI management) to identify their needs and ours," Fontsere said on Friday.
The previous contract agreed to by ownership led by the government for Spain's northeastern Catalonia region and former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone runs out this year. Attendance has also fallen from 140,000 spectators attending the 2007 Spanish GP to 90,000 last year.
Those factors have sparked rumours that another race could replace the Spanish GP. Media reports point to the possibility of F1 adding a Dutch GP to the calendar.
Fontsere denied that the owners had wanted to close the new deal before this weekend's Spanish GP.
"It is a deal that must be done well, not with haste," he said.
Sunday's race is the 29th Spanish GP run at the track, where Michael Schumacher and Alain Proust are former winners. Previously, it had been held at Jerez in southern Spain and other sites.
Lewis Hamilton has won here three times, including the past two years, en route to claiming five world titles.
Preseason testing has also been held at the track for several years.

Most of us have likely either seen the play or watched the movie "The Importance of Being Earnest" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Importance_of_Being_Earnest). Although I am not an expert in theater or cinema, it would seem to me that one of the key lessons of this work is that of truthfulness. You might be asking yourself what this has to do with information security. Well, I would say that there is an important lesson here that we can apply to the security realm.
Being truthful, honest, straightforward, and, well, earnest helps strengthen an organization's security posture, its overall security program, and its security operations function. How so? Let's examine this concept by each of the parties with which we can be truthful, honest, and straightforward:
Being truthful, honest, straightforward, and, well, earnest helps strengthen an organization's security posture, its overall security program, and its security operations function. How so? Let's examine this concept by each of the parties with which we can be truthful, honest, and straightforward:
- Ourselves: First and foremost, we need to be honest with ourselves. Every security program has its strengths and weaknesses. Acknowledging a weakness is not in itself a weakness. Rather, it is the first step towards strengthening and improving that weak spot and should be regarded as a positive. It may not be easy to take a look in the mirror and examine what we are not doing well, but it is extremely important. After all, if we are not honest with ourselves, we cannot really be honest with everyone else.
- Management: Intentions matter. Management does not expect perfection, but they do expect honesty and integrity. If we misrepresent our capabilities, it may keep pressure off our backs in the short term, but in the long term, by hiding a weakness or shortcoming we are aware of, we are introducing unnecessary risk into the security posture of our organization. Have a weakness or shortcoming that you dread raising to the attention of management? Try formulating a plan to correct it before raising it to management. I think you'll be surprised that what management really cares about is that you have a plan to do something about it, and not about the issue itself.
- Peers: We all learn and grow from constructive interactions with our peers. In order for everyone to benefit from these interactions, everyone needs to approach them in a positive light. Not doing so causes individuals to miss out on the potential to improve. Most people want to be helpful. If you are honest and sincere with people about the challenges you face in accomplishing your goals, they will usually try to help you. If you attempt to deceive them, you are really only cheating yourself.
- Clients and Partners: We certainly want to show clients and partners that we have a serious and formalized approach to information security. But, we don't need to be dishonest to do so. Most clients and partners appreciate a fresh dose of honesty. It shows that the organization is self-aware and has a list of priorities to attend to on the never-ending road of continuous improvement. If one of my vendors or suppliers told me that everything was perfect and great, that would make me less comfortable, not more comfortable. Think about it.
- Other Organizations: Organizations can improve by interacting with, sharing information with, and learning from one another. Similar to the peer interactions amongst individuals, this requires approaching this undertaking honestly. Otherwise, an opportunity for growth is forfeited. Sure, there will always be individuals and organizations that will be fooled by fast talking double speak, but not as many as we might think. People tend to see through that stuff, but they are often too polite to point that out.
It sounds counter-intuitive, but admitting weakness is actually a strength. By being truthful, honest, straightforward, and earnest, we empower ourselves to grow and improve, both as individuals and as organizations. This is an important cultural aspect that helps improve an organization's security posture, and it is one that is often overlooked. If you are a security leader, you owe it to yourself and to your organization to create a culture that rewards honesty and truthfulness. The importance of being earnest is clear.

Crowdsourcing is the name of the game for the National Archives and Records Administration. The agency has set up a website to gather ideas about electronic records management practices.
NextGov reports that the submitted ideas that work well for all agencies will be folded into a governmentwide directive due for release this June.
The initiative was launched in response to a November, 2011 memo from the President, who wants to improve e-records management. NextGov explains that many agencies have had a hard time with this:
"Agencies have struggled to meet statutory requirements for maintaining their records, failing about 95 percent of the time, according to a NARA estimate based on agency self-assessments. In some cases, agencies aren't saving the proper records. In other instances, they are storing records electronically but not taking steps to ensure they can be read or retrieved years down the road."
Currently, records are managed on an agency-by-agency basis.
What do you think? Should government agencies do more crowdsourcing for projects like this?

February was a month of travelling, and thankfully, the pictures reflect that.
At the start of the month, I headed to Barcelona for a quick break, and absolutely loved it.
It's a fantastic city worth visiting, with some fantastic Street Art and sights which is a dream for amateur photography.
Managed to get a ticket for the match at the Nou Camp against Atletico Madrid, where despite being in the second tier of the stand, I managed to get some fantastic shots of a fantastic stadium.
Almost as soon as I got home from Barcelona, I was Dublin bound to see Northern Ireland take on Scotland, in the newly built Aviva Stadium which is kind for amateur photography, even though some of the seats have shocking views.
Later in the month, I managed to see Imelda May perform at the Oh Yeah Centre for a TV show, where I managed to get into a good position for shots.

Never heard of avocado toast?
Open your mind and try some.
Of course there are those who only use strawberry jam.
Ever had tomato preserves on a toasted onion bagel with cream cheese?
Now everyone's hungry
The point of this blog is to help you understand that if you can change your thinking and try
new things (not food things) when you quit, things that get your mind off the negative.
change your mind, change your life

{{ event.description }}
Bayeux is a small town (population 16,000) in northern France within Lower Normandy. Bayeux is best known for the remarkable Bayeux Tapestry that chronicles in visual form the conquest of England by William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, in 1066.
Bayeux is linked to two famous cross-Channel invasions. The Norman conquest of England by William the Conqueror in 1066 is depicted in a famous tapestry that has been kept in Bayeux for so many centuries it now bears the town's name. On 6 June 1944 the Allied D-Day (French: Jour-J) invasion force struck the beaches just north of the town. Bayeux was the first significant French town to be liberated from Nazi occupation during the 1944 Battle of Normandy and survived almost completely unscathed. On 16 June 1944 General Charles de Gaulle made his first important speech on liberated French soil in Bayeux. The town now hosts the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in Normandy and is an excellent base for visiting the Normandy beaches.
Trains run every couple of hours from Paris Saint-Lazare via Caen, taking 2 hr 20 to Bayeux, and continuing to Lison, Carentan, Valognes and Cherbourg. These are regional TER trains, not bookable; bicycles may be carried.
The town stands on route N13 between Caen and Cherbourg and is on Eurovelo 4 cycle route.
Most of the town can be navigated by foot after arriving at the train station (South of the city), even with a wheeled suitcase. The town centre, a ten minute walk from the train station, mostly lines the main street which changes names a few times as it goes along.
Streets are narrow and uneven and often cobblestone or similar, so bring comfortable footwear (especially if going on local expedition tours—see below for more information).
Shopping in Bayeux is a sensible combination of French authenticity and touristic gaudiness—almost at a one-to-one ratio. Shops toward the centre-ville (city center) tend to be more overpriced than some of their counterparts about 3 km (1.8 mi) north.
Food can be procured for as little or as much as you wish: the main boulevard through town is lined with boulangeries and even a supermarket near the south end of town.
D-Day beaches. From Bayeux train station, you can catch a bus to some of the D-Day beaches. On the bus website [1] there is a map of the bus route to the D-Day beaches. Bus No. 70 takes you to Omaha beach, the American cemetery, and to Pointe Du Hoc. Bus No. 74 takes you to Arromanches beach - the location of the Mulberry harbors. According to Wikipedia: "Omaha beach is 5 miles (8 km) long, from east of Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes to west of Vierville-sur-Mer" and these villages are accessible via the No. 70 bus. Note very carefully from the bus timetable that buses are few and far between, hence, you would schedule your bus trip to take into account the few buses. The buses are mainly for local school children and workers so tend to be early morning and late afternoon/early evening. It is almost impossible to visit the D-Day sites via bus. Also, buses do not run when there is heavy snow, so check the bus website beforehand during snow season.
World War II Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial (Take Highway N-13 west to Formigny, then follow D-517 to St. Laurent-sur-Mer and D-514 to Colleville-sur-Mer). Buses 70 and 75, operating infrequently. Consult schedules). Open daily, 9AM–5PM except for December 25 and January 1. The cemetery is the final resting place for 9,387 American military dead, most lost during the Normandy Invasion. A monument is inscribed with the names of 1,557 Americans whose remains were never found or identified. The memorial contains maps and narratives of the military operations in Normandy Free.
Guided Tours of World War II Historic Sites (There are several guided tour companies in the area; Bayeux has a central designated meeting spot where all of the tours embark from in the morning and return to each afternoon).
Chateau de Balleroy - Not far from Bayeux, on the edge of the Cerisy Forest, is the small village of Balleroy with its 17th century chateau. The site offers the historic castle, built by a relative of Louis XIII, along with a good gift shop, an adequate tea room, extensive grounds, and a hot air balloon museum dedicated to the ballooning obsession of its latter day owner Malcolm Forbes (of Forbes magazine)
Cerisy-la-Forêt - From Balleroy, drive through Cerisy Forest, which is an interesting area of woodland home to its own endemic species of beetle, Carabus auronitens (French: carabe doré à reflet cuivré - the golden beetle with copper hints), and other common forest animals such as deer, badgers, foxes and boar. Leaving the forest by the D13 road, you come to the village of Cerisy-la-Forêt, noted for its magnificent neoclassical abbey and international sculpture park.
