Physicists say Tic-Tac UFOs can cover interstellar distances
The implications of this study are striking and show that efforts to uncover UFOs are being continued in all areas.
A study carried out by physicists and scientists at the University of Albany and the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies examined the flight characteristics of so-called Tic-Tac UFOs:
Estimated accelerations range from almost 100g to 1000s of gs, with no air disturbances observed, no sonic noise and no evidence of excessive heat proportional to the estimated minimum energies. According to the observations, the estimated parameters that describe the behavior of these ships are anomalous and surprising.
As a basis, video recordings / known data were used, as well as testimonies from the pilots. The study believes that UFOs are likely to be very advanced vehicles:
The estimated extreme flight characteristics reveal that these observations are either fabricated, or seriously wrong, or that these ships exhibit much more advanced technology than any known spacecraft on Earth.
The flight maneuvers observed also suggest that these vehicles would be able to travel interstellar distances in a short time:
The observed flight characteristics of these ships are consistent with the flight characteristics required for interstellar travel, that is, if these observed accelerations were sustainable in space, these ships could easily reach relativistic speeds in a matter of minutes to hours and cover interstellar distances in a matter of days to weeks, adequate time.
Due to the credibility of the witnesses and the technology used to document these encounters, scientists do not believe that these encounters are measurement errors or fabricated data:
The number and quality of the witnesses, the variety of roles they played at the meetings and the equipment used to track and record the ships favor the latter hypothesis that it is a technologically advanced ship.

Near Earth outer space is a real war for the Earth
Strange events occur not only in our world, but also very close to us in space. An unusually large number of UFOs have appeared on our planet and it seems that the real "Star Wars" has unfolded there, someone is bombing our Sun and it is quite likely that the coronavirus also came from space.
If you look at all the latest unusual incidents, you can see that the number of meteorites falling on the surface of the earth has increased dramatically, but is it meteorites at all? Maybe these are fragments of alien spaceships – echoes of a space war that unfolded over our heads in outer space?
On March 20, something exploded on the far side of the sun. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (Soho) recorded debris flying above the eastern tip of the sun. The place of the explosion was hidden from view, so we do not know what exploded. But, it was not a sunspot. According to astronomers, it is more likely that the thread of magnetism became unstable and exploded, throwing pieces of itself and the surrounding plasma into space.
The sun has long been at a minimum of activity, no emissions, active spots, flashes – no, and suddenly such a powerful explosion. But what if all these tales of the "strands of magnetism" are set aside and imagined that a fleet of alien spaceships was moving toward the Earth, but in near-solar space he met with another fleet, another alien civilization, and a battle took place.
The result of all this was "meteorites" and "threads of magnetism", or maybe a giant star cruiser with powerful weapons on board and a power plant with such energy just collapsed onto the surface of our sun that the incredibly powerful explosion occurred that pierced a huge hole in the sun and throwing so much energy into space?
A lot of strange events have been happening in space lately, think about the wave of huge alien spaceships and clusters of smaller UFOs observed from the ISS and they are visible on live broadcasts. They were visible in February and the first week of March. Although at the time of the appearance of these objects, the broadcast is interrupted, but enthusiasts manage to record live footage.
Further analysis of frames with large alien spacecraft seen from the ISS shows that they were destroyed or at least seriously damaged, and are surrounded by countless fragments and broken parts from these UFOs, while clusters of smaller UFOs can be rescue capsules.
Rescue capsules with crews of spaceships destroyed in battle during the battle of two groups unknown to us with space battle fleets.
COVID-19 pandemic, look at what's happening in the world. I can't believe that the whole world is ruining the global economy because of this virus. Indeed, well, let's argue sensibly – there is no pandemic, nothing out of the ordinary for taking such quarantine measures is happening, the conclusion is essentially isolation of entire countries, cities – millions of people on Earth!
What is happening, that the leading states of the world are ruining the global economy of our civilization – they are ruining their economy in the end. Is that the deadliest virus? Is this a plague? no – dying of ordinary flu – now – more people than worldwide died from coronavirus! Why have these unusually harsh measures been introduced now in this regard? Maybe the virus really came from outer space and the consequences for those infected are not limited only to the likelihood of death. Maybe everything is much more complicated? Maybe the survivors will not be the same?
Maybe for the Earth very close to it by cosmic standards there is a real battle? The virus does not stop the global economy. There must be better ways to deal with this virus than simply shutting down the global economy. Something more than the virus is happening, and it looks like they are testing a methodology for global isolation of our planet's population for the upcoming World Event.
From this point of view, it seems that there is a space battle going on, and we are on the line of fire of this space war, which, it seems, is still ongoing and it is not yet clear who will triumph in it – those who flew to Earth to enslave it or those unknown forces that entered the battle with these invaders and are now waging a space war with them?
The world is being prepared for something to happen that everyone should be prepared in advance and it is likely that a "pandemic" was devised, just to begin further global isolation, to prepare all services, forces, government and military for something more dangerous than "coronavirus"?
Earth's population is preparing for something global and very crushing. so dangerous that civilization is ready to sacrifice the world economy and stability in order to prepare the population for this event. To prepare him for a ruined economy, worsening living standards, for life in cities locked and blocked, to prepare and train him to live in such very unusual conditions for modern civilization. To accustom the population, to prepare power, medical, rescue, service, military structures for actions – the right actions in a situation for which everything should be prepared.
Maybe I'm right and in space next to the Sun there is already a space war and the outcome of its outcome is not yet clear. Whoever wins will get our planet in ownership. Who will it be – the aggressors or those who are trying to protect us. But are they protecting us, or is there just a battle between two forces – the aggressors for the right to possess the Earth?
Or something is coming that is no less global, but not related to the theory of alien invasion, but of such a nature that it can inflict no less damage on our civilization and put it on the brink of survival. Perhaps such. There are options – for example, a pole flip or a powerful flash (explosion in the sun), such a force that our civilization will be discarded in development in the Stone Age.
Hypothetically, there is the likelihood of such a cause of everything happening – yes, there is. It remains only to wait and observe, analyze and search for pieces of information in order to understand the essence of the current events.

General Douglas MacArthur's interplanetary war
The peoples of the whole world must unite for the next war, which will be an interplanetary war. The people of the Earth must someday create a common front to repel the attacks of people from other planets.
MacArthur participated in both world wars and believed that any problem could be solved by force of arms. He owns the phrase:
"He who said that the pen is more powerful than the sword, obviously, never came across a machine gun."
General liked to talk on global topics. He said that Rome, Carthage, Byzantium, Egypt and other great empires and nations fell because they neglected national defense, were careless and were afraid to use an iron fist against pacifism.
In an interview, the general talked about the need to unite the peoples of the whole world into a common front to repel an attack from other planets. In 1955, at the height of the Cold War, the famous American general, commander of the Pacific Armed Forces Douglas MacArthur, made a strange appeal to the US military and scientific forces:
"The nations of the world must unite, since the next war will be an interplanetary war …".
Apparently, he knew what he was talking about. He was echoed by former Secretary of State J. Marshall:
"The US authorities established the fact that flying saucers brought visitors to space from space and these guests, before landing and making contact, tried to develop a method of existence in our atmosphere."
In general, contact with the aliens at the highest level, apparently, took place. However, the case ended with the fact that the US military and politicians classified everything around the UFO phenomenon and contacts with them. The ban is still valid. At the same time, a huge number of ufological fakes are deliberately thrown into the media and, after them, revelations. As a result, the public of many countries classifies the UFO problem as journalistic fiction. And this was what is needed to impress.

A huge energy surge in deep space, spaceship armadas and a white UFO
What caused this huge energy surge in deep space?
Last February, NASA's stereo A HI1 satellite captured something strange in space for several days.
What we see is a huge force field coming to the right, surrounded by some kind of energy ring. This is followed by a huge surge or "discharge", turning it into a giant bubble and it rotates, although it is almost imperceptible, but watch it closely.
A white UFO was captured in the sky over Scotland
Eyewitnesses who filmed an unidentified flying object soaring in the sky posted their video on Twitter.
Witnesses of an incredible sight were the inhabitants of Scotland. An unidentified white flying object hovered in the sky as if it intentionally attracted the attention of others. Witnesses, taking the opportunity, immediately recorded what happened on the video, and then the video was posted on Twitter.
Most commentators agreed that this object most likely belongs to representatives of alien civilizations. Others tried to compare this object with something famous, for example, an airplane or a drone. Despite this, discussions of the provocative video with UFOs on the Web are still ongoing.
Big alien ships are watching us.
It is becoming more and more exciting, these UFO formations and huge spaceships moving freely in space close to the International Space Station.
The continued appearance of these clusters of extraterrestrial spacecraft is no longer a coincidence, something is happening in deep space, causing these UFOs to move to other places.
You can clearly see the structure and shape of some of these large alien ships.

We all look to take out the insurances that we know we need, such as car and home insurance. But as a single woman you may be neglecting to insure your biggest asset. YOU!
As a woman on your own, what happens if you are off work through sickness or accident for any prolonged period of time? What happens if you are diagnosed with a critical illness? Life as a single woman is full of potential and more and more women are experiencing how good life can be lived independently and in the moment. But we also need to plan as we play, particularly if we are single. We think these situations won't happen but we can't predict whether or not we will fall ill in the future and we do need to think what that might mean. If you have no income coming in or very little savings to fall back on, how are the bills going to be paid?
It's always good to have a plan. First, make sure you have an emergency fund in the bank to fall back on for any unexpected event. In an ideal world we would recommend between three to six months' worth of salary.
Second, consider what would happen if you were unable to work for a prolonged period of time.
If you are employed, make sure you know your company's sickness policy. How long will they pay your full salary, after what term will it reduce and how long for? Will you be entitled to statutory sick pay only? Statutory sick pay kicks in after 4 days of being sick and pays for up to 28 weeks. After this period, you're on your own.
If you're self-employed, what would happen? Unless you have an insurance policy to provide income in the event of being unable to work through accident or sickness, your income would either reduce or stop all together.
Whatever your employment status, an income protection plan could provide you with peace of mind that an income would be paid to you until you are able to return to work, at the end of a fixed term or up until your chosen retirement date.
The diagnosis of critical illness can be overwhelming, with a lot to take in emotionally and on a practical level. Having a financial buffer can help. While an income protection plan can provide a source of income, a critical illness plan will pay out a lump sum on diagnosis. The three most common claims under a critical illness plan are cancer at 62%, heart attack at 12% and stroke at 8% (source: Financial Adviser).
Having a lump sum payout could pay for valuable treatment or changes to your lifestyle that may need to be made. With increasing survival rates, a lump sum payout could change your quality of life. Your life and the way you work may be changed by your illness. You may want to grasp opportunities you had put on the back burner. You may not wish to be doing your 9 to 5 job anymore. Having a lump sum payout could enable you to start your own business, do all those things that you thought you would have to wait to do in retirement, clear your mortgage and the list goes on.
Everyone could benefit from a financial review to sit down and go through what issues are important to them in their life ensuring that you are protected against the unexpected, and planning for your future going forward.
From my own personal experience, a critical illness payout made an important difference to my life. Having financial security and money to play with can open up options at a difficult time.
Single women and financial planning for illness: top tips
- Keep an emergency fund of 3 – 6 months' salary in your bank account if possible
- Know your company's sick pay policy – statutory sick pay is up to 28 weeks and then you are by yourself
- Consider both an income protection plan and a critical illness plan
- Get financial planning advice from an Independent Financial Adviser such as Sarah
Sarah works for IEP Financial at Hove. IEP offers an initial meeting at IEP's cost to get to know you and what your needs are in terms of what you want from your life and how IEP can help get you there. Sarah can be contacted on 01273 208813 or email email@example.com.

Alentejo is an ideal destination for lovers of wine and cuisine. The region's long list of palate delights is constantly getting longer and there are many gastronomic experiences to be had here. Try one of the 5 on this list for starters!
This sun-baked land, a third of the country in area, is enjoying a growing popularity for its beautiful landscapes and unique food and wine culture. Wheat fields alternate with vineyards, olive groves and forests of cork oak - Alentejo is the largest producer of cork in the world - dotted here and there by whitewashed hilltop villages.
Located only one hour drive from the capital city, Alentejo makes for a wonderful laid-back destination. It has been touted both the Provence and Tuscany of Portugal and has confidently taken its place as an area of outstanding wine production and gastronomic traditions.
Below, we've listed 5 unique experiences that will change the way you experience wine and food by providing memorable moments in creative wineries and restaurants.
Michelin-starred Dinner
There are now 23 Michelin-starred establishments in the country, a yearly growing number that only strengthens Portugal's soaring culinary reputation. One hour east of Lisbon, you'll find the exclusive wine resort L'AND Vineyards. This oenophile's dream location is the perfect haven for those keen to enjoy the calm of the countryside. Indulge in relaxing spa experiences at the in-house wine therapy spa by Caudalie and revel in a gastronomic experience at the Michelin-starred restaurant - the first in Alentejo.
Led by Miguel Laffan, the Portuguese chef has been reinventing, reinterpreting and reinvigorating the roots of Portuguese cuisine and traditions. The menu has incredible dishes and food is creative and finely crafted. The dining room is absolutely beautiful, sparse and comfortable, with dozens of Tom Dixon-designed pendant lamps.
Wine Course
As you'd expect, wine resort L'AND Vineyards also offers a Complete Wine Experience Course which will not only guide you through the basics of wine production and tasting, but wine pairing as well. This experience also includes a tour of the vineyards and cellar led by an in-house expert.
Located in the picturesque village of Arraiolos - famed for its exquisite handwoven rugs - Monte da Ravasqueira is just one of the many traditional wineries which have opened their doors to curious wine enthusiasts. Enjoy a tour of the vineyards and wine producing facilities, followed by a visit to the spectacular private carriage collection. If you're traveling in a group of 10 or more, sign up for a wine tasting course where you'll learn to smell and slurp like the pros followed by a buffet style lunch.
At Herdade do Sobroso homestead, in Lower Alentejo, guests can explore the sprawling vineyard and indulge in some of the excellent wines and foods made on-site. There's also a 'Introduction to Wine' tasting course, perfect for anyone with an interest in wine, which will allow you to learn about big-picture concepts over some very fine wine.
Olive Oil Tasting
Herdade do Esporão is a short 30-minute drive from Évora - Alentejo's main city and university town. This is a family owned winery originally founded in 1267, which includes vines, olive trees, a beautiful water reservoir, as well as archaeological monuments and an in-house museum. Esporão has several different brands within their portfolio - from wines to olive oils - all available to taste and buy (and splurge) at the wine cellar shop.
Olive oil has been produced around the Mediterranean for millenia and it's one of the region's main agricultural products along with cereals and wine. On this tour you'll learn everything there's to know about the growing and production of olive oil, side by side with the in-house oleologist - olive oil tasting expert - which includes a stop over at the property's olive press, ending with a technical tasting of Esporão's extra virgin olive oils.
Since you're there, don't miss on the chance of having dinner at the acclaimed in-house restaurant, with amazing views over the water reservoir, which offers two tasting menus with the option of wine pairing.
Make Your Own Wine Experience
Near the beautiful historical village of Estremoz is João Portugal Ramos and the beautiful Adega Vila Santa. Built in accordance with the region's traditional architecture, Vila Santa offers several different wine tasting experiences, as well as a handful of lunch programs available for two or more people. All of them include a tour of the winery and cellars and the lunch menu varies from one to the other but it is always rooted in the flavorful Alentejo cuisine.
If you're looking for something special go with the 'Winemaker For a Day' Experience where you'll learn about the different grape varieties and farming techniques, as well as customize and create your own unique blend. This experience is also coupled with traditional Alentejo bread, cheese and olive oil tasting. In the end, you'll walk home with your very own bottle of wine, complete with a customized label.
Portuguese Tapas
The correct word is actually petiscos which are a Portuguese version of the well-known Spanish tapas - we're talking about small portions of any kind of food served in small plates. Usually served as a snack or appetizer - and more recently as a full meal on their own - petiscos can be anything from olive and cheese to octopus salad, chickpeas and codfish, or typical Portuguese sausages.
At João Portugal Ramos there's a Tapas Experience which works as a light lunch. Along with some classic savory dishes, it also includes dessert, tea or coffee and, of course, wine - white and red to pair with the meal. A tour of the winery and cellars is also included in the program which is available for two people and more.
How to Visit & Plan a Custom Tour
Situated within one hour's drive from the capital, Alentejo seems a million miles away from the hectic hubbub of Lisbon. Whether you have only one day or a week long to spend in the region, there's plenty you can do. Just keep in mind that private transportation is a must, especially in such a mainly rural, sparsely populated region.
If you find yourself looking for a day-tour with a wine loving twist, our one-day private tour in Alentejo is a great option right at the doorstep of the capital city. Even if you don't have that much time, you can still take this one-day tour directly from Lisbon and get a glimpse into what this wonderful region has to offer. Starting with a pick up in Central Lisbon - all the way to the end of the tour - a private driver will allow you to quickly move around, and you'll have the chance to visit two of the main wineries in the area.
With a few more days in Alentejo, you'll be able to further explore this region and visit some of the many picturesque hilltop towns. Ranging from a 3-day tour to a 6-day long tour in Alentejo, these model tours round up the region's top restaurants, wineries, and places to stay.
However, if you're looking to combine some of these experiences in one tour - trimming duration and locations to your taste - we'd be more than happy to tailor-make you a trip from scratch.
By booking with us, you'll work with one dedicated consultant, who will not only take time to listen to your requests, but also discuss different options with you. All of this coupled with a knowledge of the country means you'll get the best out of the time you have to spend on your next tour in Portugal.

(a) Recreation, or
(b) Other leisure-time occupation,
If the facilities are provided in the interests of social welfare.
(2) The requirement that the facilities are provided in the interests of social welfare cannot be satisfied if the basic conditions are not met.
(3) The basic conditions are—

(b) That:
(i) Those persons have need of the facilities because of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty, or social and economic circumstances, or

and extends to the provision of facilities for those purposes by the organising of any activity.
But this is subject to the requirement that the facilities are provided in the interests of social welfare.
(5) Nothing in this section is to be treated as derogating from the public benefit requirement.
Charitable purposes
A purpose is charitable if it falls within the four broader categories or under S3(1) [Box above] and if it is for public benefit. It is important to note that for an organisation to acquire a charitable status all of its purposes must be charitable. If an organisation has few purposes which are charitable and others which are not then it will not be considered as a charity.
Public Benefit
The purpose of the charity must be to provide benefit to wider or to the general public. Under public benefit, the benefit must not be restricted to or for the benefits of the relatives of the person who is setting up the charitable trust.
- John left £10 Million for research into or safeguard of human rights
- Simon left £2 million for RSPCA in his will
Under the poverty head, the public benefit is treated differently from other heads of charity. Trusts to relieve relatives, employees or other limited groups connected to settlor or testator are acceptable.
- Simon the owner of British Corporation declares a charitable trust and transfers £500,000 to trustees to relieve the poverty of the employees of British Corporation only. (no condition that the benefit must be available to wider public, but only in case of relief of poverty)
In the case of advancement of education, education is not confined to teaching and research but can also include museums, art galleries and even zoos. An educational charity will not be considered for the public benefit if it is only providing benefits for the members of a family or employees of the particular company.
- Simon the owner of British Corporation declares an educational trust for the employees of British Corporation and transfers £500,000 to trustees. It will not be a Charitable Education (As the public benefit is limited to the employees of the British Corporation only)
Description of Purposes
For a detailed description of purposes which are considered charitable Please refer to the guidance provided by Charity Commission on Charitable purposes and Description of charitable purposes on the following link.
Political Purpose
A trust to promote political ideology and purpose will not attract the status of the charity.
- Supporting a political party
- Trying to change a law
- Trying to change government policy
These will be considered as promoting a political ideology, such organisations are not charitable.
Advancement of Religion
A religion requires a God, worship of God, and active promotion of the religion. Charitable status is denied to a religion that is immoral or subversive of all morality. The public must have some access to the benefits of the religion. A charity could be valid under more than one head of Charity.
Other Charitable Purposes
These include relief of the aged, impotent and poor people, saving lives, sports and recreation, sports as part of education and animal welfare.
Animal Welfare
A trust for animal welfare is charitable where it is set up for a "pet animal" such as dogs, cats etc or for the prevention of cruelty to non-pet animals. To be a charitable trust, the trust must either help domestic animals or reduce cruelty to non-domestic animals.
- John set up a trust for rescuing stray dog, it will be a charitable trust (welfare)
- Simon set up a trust for prevention of cruelty to Donkeys. (As Donkeys are not Pets and only a trust for prevention of cruelty will be charitable)
Cy-Pres Doctrine
Cy-Pres is a French word which means near to or close to. Where the original charity ceases to exist for a number of reasons such as that the charity is impossible, impracticable, unsuitable or ineffective to run, or the original purpose may have been fulfilled or the charity may have been amalgamated with another charity etc. In these conditions problem faced by the trustees is that what to do with the property which is left to a charity which is ceased to exist or amalgamated or never existed at first place (made up name, wrong name etc). Cy-Pres doctrine allows the courts to allocate the charitable property to a similar charity to reflect as far as possible the original intention of the settlor/Testator.
Important Points
- Where a private trust fails, the trust property reverts to the settlor or to the testator's estate under a resulting trust (RT).
- However, where charitable trust has failed by the reason of the fact that its purpose is either impossible or cannot be fulfilled, the High Court of Justice or Charity Commission can make an order redirecting the trust's funds to the nearest possible purpose.
- To apply funds Cy-Près is, therefore, a form of variation.
- This requires the sanction of the Court or the Charity Commission.
- The doctrine will apply only to funds devoted to a charity, so it is a prerequisite that the original gift, or organisation, must be charitable.
- In cases where a charity is amalgamated with another charity, the gift will not fail and there is no need for Cy-Pres
- There are two types of failure. Initial Failure (Charity never existed or cease to exist at the time of the death of a testator) or Subsequent failure (the charity was in existence at the time of the death of Testator but cease to exist later on).
- To apply a Cy-Pres there must be a general or paramount intention to benefit a charitable purpose, the specific charity or purpose being just a certain way of doing this
- The cut-off point is the execution of will which is also the time of the death of a testator.
- Simon, in his will left £50,000 to London Peace Society, which ceased to exist
- John, £10,000 to Catford Dog Trust (never existed, made up name)
- Steve, £100,000 to Barking Hospice which is now merged with Essex Hospice.
In above examples, the original charity ceased to exist due to a different reason. Under the Doctrine of Cy-Pres courts are allowed to construct a wider meaning of the terms of gift and may apply the gift to a similar charity or as close as possible to a similar charity to reflect the original intention of the settlor /testator.

The mystery behind the stink in central Auckland that has left some businesses struggling to attract customers - and some pedestrians holding their noses - has finally been solved.
The City Rail Link (CRL) has revealed the sewer smell is emanating from works to strengthen the Orakei Main Sewer, before the new CRL midtown station is built on Albert St.
But despite CRL's assurances that the smell was being monitored daily and an odour suppressant had been used, businesses said there was still a "horrendous" stink that, combined with construction noise, was sending customers away.
The sewer serves much of Auckland and runs east-west across the Victoria St West and Albert St intersection, where the first trench is being dug to take a pair of tunnels for the underground rail link running from Britomart to Mt Eden, at a cost of up to $3.4 billion.
CRL spokeswoman Carol Greensmith said a "normal mild sewer odour" had been present intermittently throughout the works and that Auckland Council monitored smell as part of its compliance surveillance of the project.
"Daily monitoring has been undertaken and no unacceptable levels of odour have been detected outside the site boundary.
"We have used misting/odour suppressant while at the bottom of the shaft but we can't do that while we install each individual section of the riser [manhole]."
Greensmith said the riser was capped off whenever possible.
CRL had not received any formal complaints about the smell and was engaging with those businesses nearby the works being carried out on the sewer, which were due to be completed in early December.
Shobhana Ranchhodji who runs floristry shop Roma Blooms, right next to the works, said the smell and noise coming from the construction had affected all the businesses in the area.
"The smell is quite horrendous but none of us can do anything about it, it is there.
"It is progress and progress isn't all sweet and calm, progress is noisy sometimes and it is all those things with noise and smells but it's just how can we all cope through it?
"How can we help our businesses stay here and be able to trade still?"
Ranchhodji said the loss of customers made her wonder how she could afford to keep staff on.
Satender Phogat, manager of Taj Mahal Indian restaurant on Victoria St West, said the smell and loud construction noise was deterring his lunchtime customers.
He said the smell had been present for at least three months.
While Phogat supported the CRL project, he said he would prefer the work went on at night to save the businesses that operate during daytime hours from the smell, noise and dust.
A kitchen worker at gourmet burger joint Velvet Burger, located opposite the road works on Victoria St West, said the stench had been blowing through their kitchen.
"It was quite a foul smell, it smelled like rubbish. I don't even know how to describe it; it was just a really disgusting smell," said Paige Smith.
"It's not what you want to smell when you're having a burger."
Smith said the smell mainly affected kitchen staff and some customers sitting at the kitchen end of the restaurant, which looks out to the roadworks.
"It's definitely not what we want long term. Especially around Christmas time it's not ideally what you want to have because people are in the city, people want to have a nice day out in the sun."

New High Dose (HDR) Prostate Brachytherapy
New (HDR) Prostate Brachytherapy is a type of minimally invasive local treatment, similar to prostate seed implantation, which can be used for men with low risk, intermediate risk, or high risk prostate cancer. In contrast to seed implantation, HDR brachytherapy allows for up-front dose planning optimization prior to dose deposition and enables our doctors to more precisely minimize dose to the urethra and rectum while optimizing dose deposition to the prostate. This technique also avoids residual radioactive materials in patients, and thus prevents radiation exposure to family members, pets, and the public.
Logistically, the procedure is a same-day, outpatient procedure with light anesthesia. Treatment involves the placement of catheters into the prostate gland using ultrasound guidance. Advanced treatment planning is then undertaken to individualize treatment parameters based on patient anatomy. Finally, a radioactive source travels through the catheters to deliver radiotherapy over the course of 15-20 minutes. This technique provides precise, high-dose treatment over a short time interval and with minimal side effects. We are confident this new treatment option will be instrumental in improving the way we treat prostate cancer, and will lead to better patient outcomes.

Two men have been killed after losing control of a hot air balloon that crashed at a bowls club in Somerset.
The balloon, which was on a high-altitude flight, plummeted to the ground just after 9.30am, at Prattens bowls club in Midsomer Norton, near Bath.
It is thought that the occupants of the balloon were attempting to ascend to 20,000ft when something went wrong, causing the balloon to fall rapidly.
A ground crew tracking the balloon lost sight of the aircraft in the clouds shortly before it came down, according to Avon Fire and Rescue Service.
Spokeswoman Sarah Allen said: "We believe the balloon was attempting a high-altitude flight. It was being monitored by Bristol Air Traffic Control.
"They had a ground crew with them that lost the balloon in the clouds."
She added that family members of the two victims in the balloon were among the team attempting to follow the aircraft.
Emergency services were alerted to the accident at 9.47am. Two men were pronounced dead at the scene.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset police said: "No other aircraft and no one on the ground was involved."
One witness, Robert Biggs, told BBC News: "It first sounded like a plane in trouble. It was more of a whistling sound. We looked up, there was a break in the cloud and this hot air balloon came hurtling down."
Two off-duty firefighters were cycling nearby and went to the scene to help.
But by the time they arrived, the balloon's four liquid petroleum gas cylinders were spewing flames, hampering any rescue attempt.
Four fire engines were dispatched and an air ambulance attended the incident.
An investigation has been launched by the Air Accidents Investigation branch of the Department for Transport.
A spokeswoman for Fosseway golf club said the balloon came down on grounds close to the nine-hole course.

Moog Music Debuts Limited-Edition Synthesizer Module Sirin
Sirin is a limited-edition synthesizer module created in celebration of the Moog House of Electronicus Pop-up experience. Based on the legendary Moog Taurus sound engine, and presented in the familiar compact form of the Moog Minitaur–Sirin is the first instrument in Moog's Taurus family of bass synthesizers designed to generate pitches far above above middle C, with an extended frequency range that reaches notes up to D8. Connect Sirin directly to any MIDI-note controller and immediately access a portable world of powerful analog sound, or hook up to a computer via USB to explore even deeper layers of sound design, where every parameter can be manipulated, automated, and recalled using Sirin's dedicated Editor Librarian Software (free download for PC and Mac).
Secured in a brushed stainless steel enclosure with a retro-inspired color palette, Sirin is an intoxicating conjuror of both quintessential leads and menacing Moog bass. Sirin's fully-recallable analog sound engine originates with two analog Taurus Bass oscillators that have been re-engineered to soar octaves beyond the traditional boundaries of its mythical ancestors. Sirin's harmonic transmissions are dynamically shaped and sculpted by a classic Moog Ladder filter operating in consummate harmony with two lightning-fast ADSR envelopes and a multi-wave LFO, offering a wide spectrum of expressive timbral variety and versatility.
Sirin integrates seamlessly with modern computer-based production environments via its dedicated Editor Librarian software (available as a free download for registered Sirin owners)–manage patches, automate parameters, unlock 6 additional LFO waveforms, engage Hard Sync, load up to 128 presets into Sirin, access full ADSR envelopes and more as you explore the vast magical realms of analog synthesis.
A limited production run of 2500 Sirin are being produced by the employee-owners at the Moog Factory in Asheville, NC–after which no more will be available.
Sirin will officially debut at the Moog House of Electronicus Pop-Up in LA's historic Chinatown. During the week of Jan 24 – 30, Sirin will be available for purchase exclusively at www.mooghouseofelectronicus.com (US only) and on site at the Moog House Of Electronicus Pop-up (712 N Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90012, 1/24/19-1/30/19), after which, the remaining synthesizers will be distributed world-wide.
Sirin is now shipping and all orders placed through the House of Electronicus website will ship within 5-7 business days of order.

A cheat's guide to Australia's restaurant awards and guides
With so many media houses wanting to have their say on they country's best venues, it can get confusing to differentiate between all the Australian restaurant guides and awards. Here's what you need to know (our guide to their guides, if you will) if you work in restaurants.
Fairfax National Good Food Guide
Formerly a city-centric restaurant guide, Fairfax's Good Food Guide expanded nationally for its 2018 edition. The Good Food Guide is released in October following the highly anticipated Good Food Awards. Each year, food critics review 500 restaurants across the country, awarding them with a score out of 20 and a chef's hat or two (if they're top notch). The Good Food Guide is arguably one of the most well-recognised food guides in Australia, so we'd suggest keeping you keep a close eye on this one!
Gourmet Traveller Australian Restaurant Guide
After announcing its top 100 restaurant list at its annual awards ceremony in August, Gourmet Traveller releases its Australian Restaurant Guide. Inside, you'll find a collection of the best restaurants in the nation chosen by food critics nationwide. Exceptional restaurants are awarded stars while venues with cracking wine lists are signified with wine glasses.
AFR Australia's Top 100 Restaurants
Unlike other guides and awards, the Australian Financial Review Australia's Top 100 Restaurant awards is a peer-voted initiative. In April, a list of Australia's top 500 restaurants is nominated by AFR's national panel of reviewers, restaurant guide editors and industry experts. It's then up to the country's top chefs and restaurateurs to vote on who they think deserves a place in the top 100 list. Once the votes have been tallied, the results are unveiled at an annual gala event in June.
Delicious 100
Making its debut in 2017, the Delicious 100 list is a newcomer to the Australian food awards space. Throughout the year, Delicious collects restaurant reviews from New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. The best of the bunch are voted for by a panel of reviewers to take their place in the Delicious 100. After the list is published in Sunday Telegraph, Sunday Herald Sun and Sunday Mail in December, the public can vote on their favourite haunt for the People's Choice Award.
The Weekend Australian Hot 50 Restaurants
The Weekend Australian Hot 50 Restaurants is published in The Weekend Australian Magazine in August each year. As the name suggests, the list identifies the hottest 50 restaurants in Australia. Within this list, restaurants are also awarded titles including hottest chef (we're talking skill, not looks), hottest value, hottest wine program and hottest regional restaurant.
Gault&Millau is the only internationally recognised restaurant guide in Australia. That is, until the Michelin star system decides to make its way down under. Known as the "yellow guide", Gault&Millau is released in November and includes over 700 restaurants reviewed by 58 anonymous reviewers. The country's best are awarded titles such as Chef of the Year, Young Talent of the Year, New Restaurant of the Year and Producer of the Year.

RIGHT NOW encourages Israel to adopt the following policy proposals regarding African refugees and asylum seekers.
➡ Fix the government's broken Refugee Status Determination Process.
Right Now supports reversing the government's current policy on refugees and the implementation of a fair and effective Refugee Status Determination Process. This internationally-standardized process ensures that the case of each asylum seeker is reviewed and grants them protections until their status is awarded or rejected. In other countries, 80% to 90% of African asylum seekers are found to be refugees, however in Israel the acceptance rate is below 1%. Right Now supports an immigration policy in which, through a fair and effective Refugee Status Determination Process, each individual asylum seeker is researched and heard, resulting in the determination of refugee status on a case-by-case basis. We recommend that Israel provide refugees with permanent or long-term temporary social residency and award support services inline with the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1957 Protocol, including the right to work, the right to an education, the right to health services and the right to travel freely in and out of the country.
➡ End the unjust "Deposit Law" as a form of economic oppression
The government must end efforts to incentivise self-deportation through targeted economic oppression. By deducting 20% of each asylum seeker's salary into a sealed bank account on top of the already inflated taxes they pay, this law forced the wages of hard-working asylum seekers below minimum wage forcing them into desperate economic conditions. Because refugees are only able to access this money if they leave the country, this has incentivised unsafe pathways such as deportations to Uganda and Rwanda. While this fund can be useful for those able to resettle to safe countries either through resettlement, family reunification or sponsorship, the level of forced monthly payments is high enough to be considered an undue hardship, which recently led the court to offer discounts to select vulnerable groups such as single mothers and individuals with disabilities. This policy should ideally be cancelled altogether, or at minimum the discounted payments should be extended to the wider population.
➡ End the unjust deportation of asylum seekers.
The government must end attempts to send asylum seekers or refugees to their home countries or third-party countries in which their lives are in danger. Currently, attempts have been made by the Interior Ministry to secretly and overtly deport asylum seekers to life-threatening destinations by coercion and misinformation. For those who do not receive refugee status upon completing the Refugee Status Determination Process, they should be assisted in determining the safest places available to them.

A little bit of elbow grease and a keen eye can turn a plain canvas into something that shines. This one tapped Sunshine Coast Interior Designs absolute love of artwork, especially the hidden kind.
I love working with art and when a client says, she has "a couple of pieces I haven't done anything with" I know we're onto a winner. This client didn't have a lot to spend, but had a little goldmine in unframed artworks hiding under the bed and in cupboards. I got to work with my local framer and we went about adding some much needed colour to this beachside home. While not wanting "objects out on display for the sake of it" I was able to add some bold pops with new soft furnishings,more energy, and so much amazing artwork. Innovatively crafted with great respect for the client's wishes, we got to work to create a masterpiece.
"It took Claire's energy and enthusiasm to get me moving on this one. I didn't see what we could do on such a small budget, but I knew we needed a refresh. Claire got to work and soon had me brushing off artworks that I'd kept hidden away for years."

A vivid dream, but I remembered enough to compose. Should there be any budding dream interpreters reading this, would you enlighten me please.
The lion tried to attack us. He was quite fierce.
If he had caught us, our skin he would have pierce.
He had gold and tan fur, and a bushy brown mane,
He kept leaping at us, over and over again.
The attack continued. I called out your name.
I waited and waited, but you never came.
As I traversed the fence trying to evade the beast,
He seemed determined for his attack did not cease.
I was all alone in this National Park,
Not knowing how I got here. Scrambling in the dark.
I was safe on the fence, safely out of is reach
Pirched upon knitted metal. Not daring to screech.
And where I pirched, I sank deep in thought,
Wake up from this dream, I think I ought.

4 Ways to Stay Stress-Free the Week Before Your Wedding.
The week before you say 'I Do' should be a time of reflection and relaxation as you and your partner head towards wedded bliss, right? Wrong! As your wedding date looms, so does the culmination of months of hard work, organisation, blood sweat and tears. Whilst some experts recommend that you take time out every day to meditate, we know that most of you lead busy lives and haven't got the time for that, so here are 4 practical things you can do to keep yourself calm before your wedding.
1. Get a squad and don't be afraid to delegate.
(Image by Carrie Santana da Silva from Wish Wish Wish)
Taylor Swift isn't the only woman allowed to have a squad, you can too. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the last minute jobs, then ask your friends to help out. Chances are, they will only be too glad to help, especially if they're in the bridal party.
2. Arrange a date night with just you and your partner with no wedding chat.
The pressure of organising a wedding can lead to many an argument, so it's important that you and your partner reconnect before the big day. You don't even have to go anywhere, a takeaway and a night in front the telly will be fine, just as long as you agree to not talk about the wedding!
3. Write things down.(Image by MakeupSavvy.co.uk)
If you're someone whose brain is most active when they're supposed to be asleep, then the run-up to your wedding can be a really stressful time. If you find yourself mentally making lists instead of sleeping then keep a notepad next to your bed and write everything down. the process of writing will not only help you order your thoughts, it can also help identify the source of a problem and you're less likely to worry about forgetting something.
4. Enjoy the experience.(Image by Natasha Cadman Photography)
Don't forget to enjoy yourself. focus on what's important. In just a few days your closest friends and family will be gathered to celebrate the coming together of two people in love. Put things into perspective; things might go wrong, but don't let it overshadow your day. So many people never get to experience getting married and having a wedding. You are one of the lucky ones. Enjoy it!

Fiscal Fact No. 48<\/strong><\/p>\n
In the midst of corporate earnings season on Wall Street, the major domestic oil companies continue to report record profits. If the media attention to the sizeable profits from the third quarter of 2005 is any indicator, the new earnings reports will be met with equal vigilance.<\/p>\n
Scrutiny over third-quarter profits sparked action from lawmakers to increase taxes on the oil industry. Legislation was drafted to create a federal windfall profits tax, and states, such as California, are now considering instituting their own windfall profits taxes. On the federal level, several provisions aimed at the oil industry have gained traction. For instance, measures to disallow some use of foreign tax credits and \u201clast in, first out\u201d (LIFO) accounting methods have received support in Congress. These measures represent an indirect attempt to raise taxes on the domestic energy industry.<\/p>\n
In the past week, quarterly earnings were announced for the three largest integrated oil and gas producers in the nation. The most recent media attention is directed towards the earnings report from Exxon Mobil. (NYSE:XOM) These earnings come on the heels of last week\u2019s announcements by ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) and Chevron (NYSE: CVX) Based on preliminary SEC filings, these companies reported combined annual corporate gross earnings of $108.2 billion, throughout the course of 2005.<\/p>\n
It is important to remember that net income reported on financial statements, is the result of subtracting income-based taxes from corporate gross earnings. Before shareholders receive a return on their investment, the government takes its significant share off the top.<\/p>\n
During 2005, these three companies paid a combined corporate income tax burden of $44.3 billion on their reported gross earnings. Compared to last year\u2019s combined corporate income taxes of $29.7 billion, their burden for 2005 has increased by 49.2 percent and follows the overall trend of escalating corporate tax collections in the United States. In addition to corporate income taxes, the same companies paid or remitted over $114.5 billion in other taxes in 2005, including franchise, payroll, property, severance and excise taxes.<\/p>\n
When the federal statutory corporate income tax rate of 35 percent is added to the weighted average of state corporate income taxes, the resulting rate of 39.3 percent means that corporations in the United States are currently at an international competitive disadvantage. In fact, as recent research has indicated, the top combined state and federal statutory corporate income tax in the U.S. is higher than any other country in the OECD.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the average effective tax rate on the major integrated oil and gas industry is estimated to equal 38.3 percent. This exceeds the estimated average effective tax rate of 32.3 percent for the market as a whole.<\/p>\n
The magnitude of these tax payments made by US corporations raises the question of tax incidence. In other words, who bears the burden of taxes on the domestic oil industry? Every dollar a corporation spends, whether on taxes or anything else, eventually comes out of the pockets of individuals, specifically three groups of individuals: the corporation\u2019s shareholders, in the form of decreased capital gains and dividends; its workers, in the form of lower wages; or its customers, in the form of higher prices.<\/p>\n

If corporate income taxes are passed on to the shareholders, we estimate the corporate income tax per share of Conoco Phillips stock was $7.11 in 2005. If that amount is averaged together with the tax per share of Chevron stock of $5.18 and $3.80 tax per share of Exxon Mobil stock, the combined tax per share for an investor holding these three companies averaged $4.58 for 2005.<\/p>\n
If the corporate income tax burden is entirely borne by their employees, the tax ranges from $198,179 per Chevron employee, to $276,732 per employee at ConocoPhillips in 2005. It is important to note that these calculations are exclusively based on corporate income taxes paid and neglect the vast assortment of additional taxes previously noted.<\/p>\n
Conversely, if the corporate income taxes are passed on to American consumers, we all share in the burden by paying higher prices on products\u2014most notably a higher price of gasoline at the pump. The debate over who ends up paying the bulk of corporate taxes is far from conclusive, but the undisputed and most significant fact is that corporations do not pay taxes; people do.<\/p>\n

well today wasnt as interesting as yerterday. but i have noticed one thing. when my computer is working. the electricity is on. and the internet is on. i blog a LOT. i mean i dont notice this but you people who actually have to read all this crap must realize it. LARGE posts full of crap. well what can i do. you are all stuck now.
and now that my usual hysterics and dramatics are out of the way.
i would like to share a shaer (couplet) with you.
chaand nikle kisi janib teri zebai ka
rang badle kisi soorat shab e tanhai ka
may the moon rise anywhere of your allure
may the colour of this lonely evening change
another shaer (couplet)
daim para hua teray dar par naheen hoon main
khaak aisi zindagi par keh patthar naheen hoon main
i am not lying on your doorstep for ever
what use is this life if i am not that stone
now i will enter the world of the ghazal and leave you all to enjoy what you enjoy.

She wakes up to a kitchen sink filled with dirty dishes and lots of stuff on the counters. An hour later, the disaster area has doubled by the going-to-school breakfast and lunch-prep routine. The three children leave for school, the husband leaves a little earlier than usual to drop off the car for a repair, and the mom goes out to walk the dog.
Upon returning, she opens the garage door to the kitchen - immediate SHOCK and reality.
She has to clean up this mess.
The three children were out of school because of Election Day. The mother is successful in getting them to complete their homework, practice piano, and complete a chore or two. Afterwards, she decides to spend "quality time" with them. Surprisingly, only the youngest child is interested.
The mom let the child decide the activity – a movie. Afterwards, they go to the polling site to vote for the state's governor, and then to the grocery store. The husband/dad is home for dinner; they all eat, and everyone leaves the kitchen in search of entertainment.
Usually, the mom/maid/manager will blockade the kitchen's exit and command kitchen clean up duties, but she was feeling sluggish (probably from too much buttered popcorn at the theater), and left the site as well. Eventually, she went upstairs, followed by the youngest child seeking "reading time." After a chapter, she dozed off, not caring what the natives were doing or about the state of the kitchen. Her last memory was of getting some good night kisses, including one from the dog.
Why does the weekend or a day off cause the mom/maid/manager to forgo all her management skills? (By the way, a mid-week day off makes it feel like there are two Mondays in the week.) She knows the consequences, but still, she slacks on the job. I guess she just doesn't want to be a maid and manager twenty-four hours a day.
Fortunately, the husband appreciates her and understands that doing something enjoyable while the kids are at school parlays into a mom who can become a talker/listener, driver, tutor, cook, maid, and good companion, starting at 2:45 p.m. The oblivious children appreciate her too.
It took a few years for the mom to decide how her day is spent - without feeling guilt. Right now, she's sitting at the computer…blogging. lol

Sail trial after the restoration
By Ryan on Monday 26 September 2011, 20:27 - Permalink
I took her out this afternoon for a trial sail. There was next to no wind at all, and I admit using the motor to get from one pocket of wind to another. It nevertheless allowed me to see how she was under sail - even if it was with the small headsail.

The spirit, courage and sense of duty valiant citizens displayed on that day shall inspire us forever. #MumbaiTerrorAttack. 🙂 Om Shanti

Week 83: Bedroom Farce
1. Why, in your opinion, do some women think it is sexy to shave off their eyebrows and paint on new ones, higher up?
2. Have you ever had sex in an airplane? Have you ever had sex on a luggage carousel?
3. Which of these words do you find most offensive? a) seersucker; b) organism; c) but.
For men: Betty, or Wilma? For Women: Maynard G. Krebs or Lumpy Rutherford?
4. Have you ever ordered a pair of edible underwear at the drive-through window of a McDonald's?
This Week's Contest: We have just finished reading the Great New American Sex Survey, which reports all sorts of questionable results, such as that Americans do not cheat on their spouses a lot, that Baptists are wild animals in the sack, and that Americans don't like oral sex all that much (a result we find in, er, poor taste). We are thinking that even if true, these results are unspeakably dull, because the researchers asked all the wrong questions. What we want to know is: What questions were left out? What do you want to know about intimate relations between the genders that this survey has not told us? Please, folks, exercise restraint and maturity. Remember that the editors of this reprehensible feature must answer to individuals in business suits who, in terms of personal rectitude, make the Queen of England seem like Heidi Fleiss. First-prize winner gets a foot-tall full-color plaster statuette of Lou Costello, a value of $75. Runners-up, as always, get the coveted Style Invitational losers' T-shirts. Honorable mentions get the mildly sought-after Style Invitational bumper stickers. Winners will be selected on the basis of humor and originality. Mail your entries to the Style Invitational, Week 83, The Washington Post, 1150 15th St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20071, fax them to 202-334-4312, or submit them via the Internet to this address: firstname.lastname@example.com. Entries must be received by Monday, Oct. 24. Please include your address and phone number. Winners will be announced in three weeks. Editors reserve the right to alter entries for taste, appropriateness or humor. No purchase necessary. Employees of The Washington Post and their immediate families are not eligible for prizes.
Report from Week 80, in which we asked you to come up with nicknames for famous people. An odd statistic: We received 1,250 entries, about 400 of which involved Bill Clinton or the Bobbitts. Emasculation appears to be the "in" topic. A special thank you to librarian Jessica Steinhice of Washington, who apparently did some research and sent us her all-time favorite nickname, California Angels catcher Doug "Eyechart" Gwosdz. Jessica, you are spending waaay too much time in the stacks.

In what reasonable universe does it make sense to vote for a presidential candidate simply because of their looks or alleged eloquence?
Barack Obama supporters sound like 16-year-old girls picking a prom date, and voting for him because he is an African-American is racist and patronizing.
As for Sen. Hillary Clinton, even her greatest detractors should be appalled at the media's vile sexism toward her.
The over-hyped alleged crying incident tells every woman in America that you cannot hold a position of power because you are too emotional. This allegation is false and degrading to all Americans, regardless of gender.
