Coastguard In Medevac For Spanish Fisherman On Offshore Trawler
A Spanish fisherman with acute abdominal pain was airlifted from a trawler some 70 miles off Castletownbere earlier this week, as the Irish Examiner reports.
The Irish Coast Guard tasked Shannon-based helicopter Rescue 115 for the medevac on Tuesday afternoon (14 April), which was completed in just over three hours.
It's understood the ill trawlerman was taken to Cork University Hospital for treatment.
Two Medical Evacuations For Aran Islands Lifeboat On Wednesday
Two people were evacuated from the Aran Islands for medical reasons by the area's RNLI lifeboat yesterday (Wednesday 28 August).
At 4.50pm the all-weather lifeboat David Kirkaldy called to launch from Inis Mór to neighbouring Inis Meain where an elderly man had been injured in a fall.
Under coxswain John O'Donnell and a full crew onboard, the Severn class lifeboat braved difficulty conditions, with choppy 1.5-metres seas and Force 5-6 west to south-westerly wind, to transfer the casualty to the waiting ambulance in Rossaveal.
Later in the evening, just after 11pm, the volunteer crew were called out for another medevac, this time to a sick man elsewhere on Inis Mór who required further treatment, Aran Islands RNLI says.
Despite the even worse conditions at sea, the man was safely transferred to Rossaveal and the waiting paramedics.
O'Donnell said later: "Yesterday was a busy one for the volunteer crew members but they are always ready to answer the call and happy to help out. We would like to wish both patients a speedy recovery."
Aran Islands Lifeboat Crew In Medevac Of Injured Tourist
Aran Islands lifeboat volunteers launched their all-weather lifeboat on Saturday afternoon (17 August) to carry out a medical evacuation for an injured tourist.
The female visitor to Inis Mór had sustained a suspected fractured leg while out sightseeing, Aran Islands RNLI said.
The casualty was transferred safely aboard the Severn class lifeboat David Kirkaldy under coxswain Tommy Dirrane and a full crew, and was brought to the waiting ambulance at Rossaveal Harbour.
Dirrane said later: "The volunteer crew members train regularly to maintain their quick response time and that can make all the difference to the casualty you are going to help. We would like to wish the casualty a speedy recovery."
Elsewhere on Saturday, Rosslare Harbour RNLI volunteers were called to assist a small yacht with two onboard in difficulty off Cahore Point off the North Wexford coast.
Tangled in a lobster pot line and unable to sail in the freshening south westerly wind, the crew called the Irish Coast Guard for assistance, according to the RNLI.
Rosslare Harbour RNLI volunteers launched their all-weather lifeboat and reached the yacht in a short time.
Lifeboat volunteers reached the yacht in short order and set up a tow line to bring it close to Cahore Harbour, where the Cahore inshore rescue boat took over due to the shallow water.
Rosslare Harbour RNLI coxswain Eamonn O'Rourke said: "I would like to commend our volunteer crew who worked hard to attach a tow to the yacht in challenging conditions. We were glad to see the vulnerable yacht and her crew safe."
Aran Islands RNLI responded to two medical evacuations, or medevacs, yesterday morning (Tuesday 23 July).
The all-weather Severn class lifeboat Margaret, Joan and Fred NYE launched at 10.15am following a request from the Irish Coast Guard, headed initially to Inis Meain.
Weather conditions were good with a 1.5m swell and a force 4-5 southerly wind as coxswain Mairtín O'Flaithearta and a full crew approached the pier at Inis Meain, where a teenager requiring further medical attention was taken aboard the lifeboat.
The crew then proceeded to Inis Oirr, where a young child also requiring further medical attention was taken aboard.
Both casualties were then taken straight to Rossaveal Harbour where they were transferred to hospital for further treatment.
Speaking after the callout, O'Flaithearta said: "A call can come at any time, and often like today where we had get two call outs at once. In situations like this, our regular crew training helps with a quick response time.
"We would like to wish both casualties a speedy recovery."
The medevac came just days after Aran Islands RNLI were called to assist a yacht with engine difficulty off Straw Island.
Medevac From Cape Clear Island For Baltimore Lifeboat
Baltimore RNLI carried out a medevac last night (Friday 7 June) from Cape Clear Island off the coast of Baltimore in West Cork.
The volunteer crew launched their all-weather lifeboat at 6.20pm, following a request from the Irish Coast Guard to provide medical assistance and evacuation to an islander living on Cape Clear.
The lifeboat arrived at North Harbour in Cape Clear within 20 minutes, and was headed back to the mainland with the casualty on board after just a two-minute turnaround.
By just after 7pm the casualty had been handed over to the care of a HSE ambulance crew in Baltimore.
Conditions at sea during the call out were good, with a north-westerly Force 4-5 wind, a one-metre sea swell and very good visibility.
Speaking following the callout, lifeboat press officer Kate Callanan said: "If you find yourself in a medical emergency whilst on an island call 999 or 112 and explain to the operator what the nature of the call is.
"The operator will then make sure that the call is directed to both the coastguard and the National Ambulance Service. We wish the casualty a full recovery.
"Our thoughts today are also with the family, friends and colleagues of the crew members of the French lifeboat service SNSM who lost their lives yesterday during a rescue."
There were seven volunteer crew onboard the lifeboat on this callout: coxswain Kieran Cotter, mechanic Cathal Cottrell and crew members Jerry Smith, Kieran Collins, Pat Collins, Colin Rochford and David Ryan. Assisting at the boathouse in Baltimore were Gerald O'Brien, Aidan Bushe and Don O'Donovan.
Baltimore Lifeboat Assists In Medevac From Heir Island
Baltimore RNLI carried out a medical evacuation last night (Wednesday 22 May) from Heir Island off the coast of West Cork.
Baltimore's volunteer lifeboat crew launched their inshore lifeboat following a request from the Irish Coast Guard at 8.34pm to provide medical assistance and evacuation to a woman on Heir Island who had sustained injuries following a fall.
The inshore lifeboat arrived at the pier on Heir Island at 8.50pm and removed the casualty to the lifeboat station 20 minutes later, where she was handed over to the care of HSE Ambulance crew.
Conditions at sea during the callout were calm with good visibility and no sea swell.
This was the first call for Baltimore's new Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat, Rita Daphne Smyth, since she arrived on station last September.
Speaking following the callout, Baltimore RNLI volunteer lifeboat press officer Kate Callanan said: "Baltimore lifeboat is often called upon to safely transport casualties between the islands and mainland, and our volunteer crews are trained in casualty care.
"If you find yourself in need of medical assistance, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard. We wish the casualty a full recovery."
There were four volunteer crew onboard the lifeboat: helm Jerry Smith and crew members Kieran Collins, Micheal Cottrell and Ian Lynch. Assisting at the boathouse in Baltimore were Rianne Smith, Marty O'Driscoll and Kieran Cotter.
In other lifeboat news, the outgoing chair of Clonallen Bridge Club, Warrenpoint, Maire Murray, chose the RNLI as the charity of choice for the year 2018-19.
At a recent meeting of the Clonallen Bridge Club a cheque for £500 was handed over to John Fisher, Kilkeel RNLI lifeboat operations manager by the club's incoming president Marius McQue.
Fisher said: "As a charity we are always very thankful for all the money collected and donated to the RNLI. Giving our lifesavers the equipment they need to save lives is very expensive so be assured that the funds raised are used in the best possible way."
Baltimore Lifeboat In Medical Evacuation From Sherkin Island
#Lifeboats - Baltimore RNLI carried out a medevac on Thursday night (11 April) from Sherkin Island off the coast of West Cork.
The volunteer crew launched their all-weather lifeboat following a request from the Irish Coast Guard at 9.29pm to provide medical assistance and evacuation to an islander living on Sherkin.
Conditions at sea during the callout were calm with good visibility and no sea swell.
The lifeboat arrived at Sherkin pier at 9.45pm, the casualty was brought onboard and the lifeboat departed the island within four minutes, handing the casualty over to the care of HSE ambulance crew at 10.08pm.
Speaking following the callout, Kate Callanan, Baltimore RNLI volunteer lifeboat press officer, said: "Baltimore RNLI regularly provides the vital service of medical evacuations (medevacs) for residents and visitors to local islands such as Sherkin, Cape Clear and Heir.
"If you find yourself in need of medical assistance, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard."
Elsewhere, volunteer lifeboat crews from the Aran Islands and Galway RNLI participated in a multi-agency training exercise on Galway Bay this week.
The all-weather lifeboat from Aran Islands RNLI and the inshore lifeboat from Galway Bay RNLI were among the many emergency service agencies that took part in a maritime mass rescue exercise.
The scenario training, which saw the lifeboat crew practise an evacuation of survivors from a seagoing ferry in a busy shipping lane, was organised as part of a multi-agency exercise co-ordinated by the Irish Coast Guard.
Among the other agencies involved were the Irish Coast Guard rescue helicopters located at Sligo and Shannon, Doolin/Inisheer Boat Unit, Costello Bay, Killaloe, Kilkee and Cleggan Coast Guard units, Galway Fire Service and the HSE.
Crosshaven Lifeboat In Early-Morning Medevac For Ill Trawlerman
#Lifeboats - The first callout of 2019 for the RNLI crew at Crosshaven was a medevac for a fisherman taken ill on a large fishing vessel in the early hours of Sunday 6 January.
Shortly after 5.30am volunteers from Crosshaven RNLI were paged and requested by the Irish Coast Guard to go the assistance of an ill crew member onboard a UK-registered supertrawler two miles south of Roches Point.
The inshore lifeboat, with Ian Venner in command and Derek Moynan, Caomhe Foster and Alan Venner onboard, were quickly under way and met with the ship at 6.10am.
Having assessed the situation, the lifeboat crew swiftly evacuated the ill man back to station in Crosshaven before handing him into the care of National Ambulance Service paramedics.
Speaking following the callout, Crosshaven RNLI lifeboat operations manager Patsy Fegan said: "We would like to wish the casualty a speedy recovery and thank our crew. Our hats are off to them.
"It's a shock to the system to be awoken from a deep sleep by your pager and be on a lifeboat within 10 minutes but this is what our volunteers are willing and prepared for in order to help someone in need."
Shore crew on Sunday morning were Gary Heslin, Molly Murphy, Jonathan Birmingham and James Fegan.
Medevac From Queen Mary 2 Off Irish Coast Is Second In 13 Months
The Clare Herald reports on a helicopter medevac from the Queen Mary 2 off the Irish coast earlier this week.
Rescue 115 from the Irish Coast Guard was involved in the evacuation of an elderly woman to University Hospital Limerick from the luxury ocean liner on Monday afternoon (19 November).
The incident came just over a year after an elderly man with a suspected heart problem was evacuated from the same liner off West Cork.
Ballycotton Lifeboat In Medevac From Ferry Off East Cork Coast
#RNLI - Ballycotton RNLI launched their all-weather lifeboat on Saturday evening (4 August) around 7.20pm to a crew member on board the Pont-Aven cruise ferry.
The female casualty, who became injured while working on the vessel, required a medevac while 30 miles off Ballycotton Bay.
Ballycotton RNLI and its volunteer crew were launched on request by Valentia Coast Guard and proceeded to the incident.
The Pont-Aven altered its course back towards Cork Harbour and was met by Ballycotton RNLI some 16 miles out. The casualty was transferred to Ballycotton's all-weather lifeboat and brought to Crosshaven where the ambulance service was waiting to assist.
Weather conditions were favourable, and near perfect for the task which enabled all involved to transfer the casualty quickly and seamlessly.
Speaking following the callout, Ballycotton RNLI coxswain Eolan Walsh said: "The timeliness and transfer of the casualty was made so much simpler by the professionalism of the Pont-Aven's fast rescue boat crew.
"We would like to thank all involved that contributed to a positive outcome and we wish the casualty a speedy recover from all at Ballycotton RNLI."

Import finance can be used by businesses that import goods, from almost any country, to sell to other businesses.
In a nutshell – up to 100 percent funding and risk protection for their imports is available, as well as the opportunity to fund the growth of the business.
Import financiers provide a range of smart funding solutions to solve cash flow problems, from the time orders are provided to overseas suppliers, through the manufacturing and shipping process, right up until the time payment is received from customers.
Some providers fund up to 100 percent of the cost of goods, provide risk protection against foreign exchange losses and will actually take the time to understand your client's business.
Import finance solutions can be sourced without the requirement for security of real estate and a range of payment options including letters of credit, documentary collection and telegraphic transfer are available.
Scottish Pacific's Import Finance is tailored to meet the specific needs of the business. Solutions are structured to provide total funding solutions that can encompass periods exceeding 180 days.
How import finance works
Import finance combines with debtor finance to provide a complete supply chain funding solution. Once facilities are approved the process is straightforward:
1. Client receives an order from their customer
2. Transaction is processed by the financier (letter of credit and currency protection initiated if applicable)
3. Goods produced and shipped
4. Supplier paid (via the letter of credit where applicable), and import bill created
5. Goods landed, cleared and delivered to customer
6. Import bill repaid from debtor finance proceeds
7. Customer pays and debtor finance cleared
Import finance is specifically designed for importers of finished goods. However if the business is importing raw materials or components there are other options that can be tailored to meet the client's requirements.
Here's an example of a recent Scottish Pacific client, an importer of ladies' fashion accessories selling to boutiques across Australia and New Zealand.
The client sources products from China, Italy and Spain. Orders are received from customers prior to arranging seasonal deliveries.
It can take up to four months from the time the client places the order with the supplier until the goods land in Australia. With customers paying on terms once goods are delivered, it can take a further 60 days to be paid. This means the client has a 180-day cycle between ordering the goods and receiving payment.
By combining import finance with debtor finance, this importer sourced a funding package for 100 percent of the cost of the goods, combined with foreign exchange protection.
The client is growing quickly with the confidence of knowing that the import finance facility will support increased purchasing from overseas suppliers to support the growing sales base.

I hate shopping in malls, especially Westfields. Plastic everywhere. Soul-less. I do like internet shopping though that is slated to end in 2017.

No idea but because there is a cluster of them out that way I suspect there must be something in the aboriginal language that prompted it. Like all of the 'up' towns in WA.Delete

Yes it is an interesting street and I would have liked to explore more. The trouble was we had to park a bit of a distance because the caravan. Then I walked down to discover this street and my camera battery run out. The trees are nice and the buildings somewhat ramshackle but that could be because of the timber construction which you find more and more of as you move up towards Qld. Here the mountains the old shops built in timber (since demolished in Lawson) had that same type of look.Delete
And it is the timber buildings in Hill End that have the same appearance. The brick ones are quite a different matter.Delete

How Did This Get Made: A Conversation with Sheldon Lettich, Screenwriter of Bloodsport
Posted on Tuesday, April 5th, 2016 by Blake Harris
Part 2: The Baddest Motherfuckers in the World
Blake Harris: What was the scripting process like for Rambo III, working with Stallone?
Sheldon Lettich: He and I were pretty much on the same wavelength for that. Because my idea for Rambo III was: well, there's only one place Rambo could go…Afghanistan. And Stallone felt the same way. I showed him pictures of this ancient fortress on a hilltop that the Russians had converted, so that became the basis for it. One of the only places where we initially differed was with the entry point. Stallone's original idea was that [Colonel Sam] Trautman comes to Rambo and says something like: hey, I got a mission for you in Afghanistan. And Rambo says [putting on a thick Stallone impression]: let me just go get my gear. "But Sly," I said, "it really wouldn't work that way because one thing that's been established with Rambo is that he's the baddest motherfucker in the world, but he doesn't want to fight. He wants to find a more peaceful path. So I suggested a version where Rambo tells Trautman, "Sorry, Colonel, I fought my war. It's not something that I'm interested in, but good luck." And then Troutman gets captured by the Russians and Rambo's feeling guilt because he let his buddy down. So he goes there on his own to rescue Troutman, and that pretty much became the movie.
Blake Harris: That's a good point. Rambo was always a reluctant badass.
Sheldon Lettich: Yeah, you've really gotta push him to fight. You've gotta kidnap his friend. You've gotta [in a dramatic macho voice] PUSH…HIM…TOO…FAR. [laughing] Those old 80s trailers, that's what they'd say over and over again. "He was a peaceful accountant…until he was PUSHED…TOO…FAR!" Pushed too far—and generally all three words would appear on screen—that was big in the 80s. And that's one of the things that were attractive about Rambo so that's what we did with that script.
Blake Harris: And what was it like working with Rambo himself?
Sheldon Lettich: I was just so honored. Look, Stallone was the biggest star in the world at the time and to even have a meeting with him was, to me, a huge honor. I don't think Stallone has ever been given his due by movie critics. I don't know if the word "genius" is maybe taking it too high, but this is a very smart creative guy who is very much underappreciated. Plus the guy was just an idol of mine. And he was an idol of Jean-Claude's too.
Blake Harris: Yeah? Jean-Claude was a big Stallone fan?
Sheldon Lettich: Still is. You know, Jean-Claude was totally overwhelmed when he got to work with Stallone on Expendables 2. Because for years he would turn down roles if his character had to be defeated at the end. If he had to be the bad guy and killed by the protagonist. Like, very famously, he turned down Demolition Man. It was offered to him and Seagal. And the two of them, they didn't talk about it, but they'd basically bicker through their agents because neither one wanted to be the criminal who gets killed at the end. Both of them wanted to be the cop.
Blake Harris: That's so funny (though it makes sense).
Sheldon Lettich: It just couldn't be worked out so the project fell by the wayside until they got Stallone and Wesley Snipes to be in it. But the point I was leading up to was that Jean-Claude just wouldn't be the villain who gets killed at the end of a movie. But the only guy in the world who could kill Jean-Claude with his permission is Sylvester Stallone. If it's Stallone: no problem, he can kill me on screen at the end.
Blake Harris: The ultimate compliment…
Sheldon Lettich: Ha, yes.
Blake Harris: Speaking of Jean-Claude, I imagine that you first met him around this time. How did that happen? Or actually, a better question: how did Bloodsport first come together?
Sheldon Lettich: [producer] Mark DiSalle invited me to lunch. He said, "Movies often come in cycles and there hasn't been a martial arts film in a while; I think that cycle is going to come back soon." So he pitched me the story for Kickboxer and I said, "Well, if you're looking for a martial arts film, I've got one of my own that I think you might like…Bloodsport." And the story there, which I've told many times, came from Frank telling me about his exploits. He used to tell everybody he was a ninja; I think he still maintains he was a ninja and took his training from this guy named Tanaka. But he was telling me about this tournament that he participated in where all the best fighters in the world showed up. And it was no-holds-barred, it'd very brutal and bloody, so it was called "Bloodsport." When I heard that name, it was like bells started ringing. Wow. Bloodsport. I said to Frank, "That's a great title for a movie." Everything you've just been telling me about this Kumite, that's a great idea for a movie. And, at that lunch, Mark agreed and hired me to write the script for Bloodsport.
Blake Harris: Frank mentioned he already had a script? Enter the Ninja?
Sheldon Lettich: No, there was no script prior to the "Bloodsport" script. Frank and I did write a couple of scripts together, and he received credit on both of them. Neither of them was about a martial arts tournament, and neither of them was ever produced. We even made a movie together, my 16mm short Firefight, which I gave him a major role in. All of this was prior to Bloodsport. Now, Frank did contribute a number of ideas to the Bloodsport script, but he claimed these were "life events" that actually happened to him, not fiction. His contract was not for writing, it was for use of his name and a portion of his "real-life story." Only the part relating to the Kumite because he was going to hang on to the rest of his rights for the rest of his "exploits" for other movies. But Mark had permission to use his name and to basically say that this was a real story. And, look, in the mid-80's, something like that sounded real intriguing. A secret martial arts contest? Oh yeah! Nowadays it's all kind of cliché. But back then it sounded really cool.
Blake Harris: Well you started that cliché!
Sheldon Lettich: [laughter] Back then, to say "based on a true story" was something that intrigued, and I think it particularly intrigued Menahem Golan. I wrote the script, got paid a small fee and I can't remember how much time passed—probably less than a year—and via another guy named Lou Horwitz—a financer who, I believe, did gap-financing at the time—Lou took it to Cannon. They liked the idea, liked the script, and decided to go ahead and do it as a low-budget movie. All that was missing was an actor to play Frank Dux. A number of ideas were thrown out. I don't know if they ever approached Chuck Norris, but Chuck didn't seem right. He was a little too old at the time. I don't know if they ever approached Michael Dudikoff, but basically the producers were in a quandary as to who to cast. And then there was the famous meeting between Jean-Claude and Menahem on La Cienega Boulevard. I believe that story is 100% true, because Michel Qissi was with him and he told me the same story. And they've never wavered from that.
Blake Harris: The kick?
Sheldon Lettich: Yeah. Jean-Claude saw Menahem on the street, did a U-Turn and said, "Hey Menahem, remember me? Jean-Claude Van Damme." And then he did a kick that missed his face by like two inches. Well, Menahem just happened to be searching for an actor to play the lead in Bloodsport so he told Jean-Claude to come by his office the following morning and gave him a copy of the script.
Blake Harris: Right, right.
Sheldon Lettich: But the point we're getting towards is my first meeting with Jean-Claude. And I remember Mark telling us, "Menahem is thinking of casting this guy… Gene Claude Van Damme. And he's in this movie called No Retreat, No Surrender. Why don't you go check it out?" So Frank and I go to a theater and we were both blown away by Jean-Claude. We thought he was fucking great. We gave our enthusiastic thumbs up and the next thing I know they're in pre-production and off to Hong Kong. I still had not yet met Jean-Claude at this time. But they called me from Hong Kong—Frank and Jean-Claude—lamenting the fact that "Mark DiSalle was messing up the script." They didn't know what to do, but they thought they'd give me a call. So Frank put me on the phone with Jean-Claude and that was the first time I ever spoke to him. We had a nice conversation and promised each other to meet up when he was back in LA. Let's meet face to face. And as soon as he was back in LA, he gave me a call and came over to my apartment in Park La Brea. Brought his wife with him and we just hit it off, right from the getgo. We just became friends almost immediately. And his wife and my wife became even closer friends. They were both pregnant at the same time. So these kids kind of grew up together. And I was writing for Stallone at the time and I actually asked Jean-Claude for some help with some of the dialogue for a script I was working on.
Blake Harris: I imagine that this was during that time—about two years or so—when Bloodsport just kind of sat there on the shelves. Why was that the case?
Sheldon Lettich: Because Menahem thought it was terrible. Oh man, he fucking hated that movie.

According to Wikipedia, conquistadors were "soldiers, explorers, and adventurers at the service of the Portuguese and Spanish empire" whose goal was to conquer new territory for both church and crown. Apparently, an individual in Germany now seeks to take on that mantle but has had some difficulty in finding the right formula for success in his quests.
Involved in a recent National Arbitration Forum (NAF) UDRP complaint, this ambitious yet clueless soldier of fortune lists himself as "Conquistador Sat" and sought to plunder the riches of American retailing by registering the domain OnldNavy.com. However, the opposing forces of The Gap, Inc. led an experienced and respected UDRP Panelist to decide that this particular conquistador had no legitimate interest in the domain name and had registered and used it in bad faith by having it resolve to a pay-per-click (PPC) website with links to the Complainant's competitors.
Unfortunately, this was just the latest in a string of defeats for this sad soldier. Earlier this year he also lost UDRP decisions relating to the domain names brawnypapertowels.com; webesteronline.com; and advaneautoparts.com. Surprisingly, despite the fierceness of conquistadors of yore and their skill in the use of a wide range of armaments, this particular Respondent also lost a decision against the domain name underarmmour.com.
So what can we expect in the future from Conquistador Sat? A quick reverse WHOIS search for this name turned up no results and so it may be that our anti-hero has marched off into the sunset in search of new adventures. Hopefully, he leaves behind yet another lesson for would-be cybersquatters that domain name knockoffs of famous brands lead to neither treasure nor glory but only heartache and ignominy. It's actually quite surprising that such blatant squatters as this still walk the earth in light of the past 15 years of UDRP jurisprudence. Unfortunately, with the upcoming launch of over 1,300 new gTLDs, it seems more than likely that there will continue to be young and still naïve explorers who will seek their fortunes by plundering the domain names of others.

I'm not into systems manufacturing normality. I'm not into turning a blind eye to lesser insanities.
I'm not into him and hers and the chest of drawers. I'm not into sacrificing my time and energy for you and yours. I'm not into folklore when trying to coexist has been known to set across great wars. I'm not into careless tongues that mouth everything undone. I'm not into romantic love and the drug it promises only once you dare to plunge. I'm not into the togetherness of us, but the individuality of one.

Emmanuel Macron promises ban on fake news during elections
French president warns democracies are under threat as he sets out plan including emergency blocks on websites
Emmanuel Macron, New Year wishes to the members of the press corps, 01/03/2017 [full transcript]
« It is you, journalists, who are the first to be threatened by this propaganda. It adopts your tone, sometimes your formats. It uses your vocabulary and sometimes even recruits from among you. Sometimes even financed by certain illiberal democracies that we condemn on a daily basis, it spreads, it becomes commonplace and it ends up playing on the confusion that we have progressively accepted.
The issue of the trustworthy third-party that you are, so essential in a democracy, is then deeply blurred and, through you, it is liberal democracy that is being targeted. There are at least two answers that we can give and that I wish we can give collectively in the coming year.
It is up to the State to bring the first response. That is why I have decided that we will change our legal framework in order to protect the democratic life of those false news. A bill on this issue will soon be introduced. During the election period, contents on web platforms, will no longer follow the exact same rules. As you know, powerfully spreading false news on social networks today requires only a few tens of thousands euros and can be done in complete anonymity. The platforms will thus be subject to increased transparency requirements on all sponsored contents in order to make the identity of advertisers and those who control them public, but also to limit the amounts spent on such contents. It is an essential correlate with the rules we have set for our democratic life and our political debates.
In the event of dissemination of false news, it will be possible to refer the matter to the judge through a new summary proceedings ("action en référé ») allowing, where appropriate, to delete the content in question, to discontinue the site, to close the user account involved, or even to block access to the website.
The powers of the regulator, which will also be profoundly rethought during the year 2018, will be increased to combat any attempt at destabilizing by television services controlled or influenced by foreign states. This will allow the redesigned Higher Audiovisual Council (Conseil Supértieur de l'Audiovisuel, CSA hereafter) among other things to refuse to conclude agreements with such services by taking into account all the content published by these services, including on the Internet. This will also enable the CSA, in the event of action likely to affect the outcome of the election taking place during the pre-electoral or electoral period, to suspend or cancel the agreement.
If we want to protect liberal democracies, we must be strong and have clear rules. This new apparatus will involve a duty of intervention on the part of technical intermediaries in order to quickly remove any illegal content brought to their attention. The content of this text will be detailed in the coming weeks. Its preparation will be important because none of the freedoms of the press should be called into question by this text and your views thereupon will be very important in this respect and consultations will be planned to that end.
Beyond that, it is clear that we must continue the platforms and broadcasters on the Internet to take greater responsibility, because they cannot continue to mix all categories of information and, as we have begun to do with terrorist propaganda, must be held accountable for all the forms of intervention they convey.
But the second essential type of action depends on you. I know that many of you think about deontology of profession of journalism and the approach of Reporters Without Borders, consisting in inventing a form of press certification of the press institutions that respect the deontology of the profession, seems not only interesting but also desirable. It is your responsibility to organize, to some extent, the rules of your profession if we do not want that everything is equally valid and that no hierarchy can be made. The time has no doubt come for your profession to unite around strongly reaffirmed principles in a time of democratic fragility, and I sincerely hope that 2018 will be the year of this substantive debate, because not all words are equal and because there are even words that are neither journalistic nor innocent, but propaganda and political projects that are harmful to our democracies. »
Emmanuel Macron – 01/03/2017

Eyeliner is my make up staple. I find any day I don't have time to pop make up on before the school run people will comment how sickly I look, honestly it is just eyeliner which makes all the difference!
Here we have the just out of bed pyjama look and the eyeliner on ready to go look (no other make up involved).
I don't believe in spending loads on make up, I have a few items which I find work really well for me and I stick to them. My eyeliner of choice is the Avon Glimmersticks, if you time it right then you can get it on offer (the best I've seen is £1.75 each!) and I stock up when it is. On a normal day I use the cosmic brown colour:
It glides on really smoothly and you can blend it slightly for a smoother finish. It isn't the best for flicks but, as you can see, you can do slight flicks with it. For a more bold look I use the Avon Gel Eyeliner in black, it is a much stronger colour but is a thicker pencil and you really can flick well with it.
I also have the Avon Big Colour pencils, which are more eyeshadow than eyeliner, but if you put it on carefully then it can be used like an eyeliner:
You definitely won't be able to produce a flick with these, but it is a fun look for spring and really draws attention to your eyes.
One thing you may not have heard before is how white eyeliner makes your eyes look much bigger. I use this Rimmel Eyeliner which glides on well and looks lovely:
Which is your favourite look? The brown, the white or the colour?!

Missoula Police Respond to Early Morning Gunshots, Find Escapee With Two Children
After reports of gunshots in Missoula early Tuesday Morning, Police responded to an apartment complex on the north side of town just after 12:22 a.m.
"911 received a call of shots heard in an apparent apartment building in the 1300 block of East Broadway," said Missoula Police Public Information Officer Travis Welsh. "Several officers responded and identified the apartment where shots were said to have come from then they made contact with a family inside consisting of an adult male, an adult female and two small children."
When police arrived at the apartment they encountered 25-year old Johnny Allen Washee Jr. who was wanted for a parole violation for escape as well as a parole violation surrounding an assault with a weapon charge.
"There was evidence that a weapon had been fired in the apartment, however at this point the case is still under investigation by detectives that are trying to determine what exactly occurred there and also to speak to witnesses htat live in the building to find out what they heard or saw."
According to Missoula County Deputy Attorney Jason Marks, the county is considering a number of charges for Washee, including a host of endangerment charges as well as a charge of possession methamphetamine with intent to distribute.

So last week I was lucky enough to get to see Other Desert Cities at the Booth Theatre. Stockard Channing and Rachel Griffins, both praised in the original cast have departed, but their replacements are every bit as wonderful.
Jon Robin Baitz's play, set in Palm Springs, is a family dramedy with all the right ingredients. The story starts of almost innocently and builds to an amazing climax with all emotions laid bare. The five person cast consists currently of Lauren Klein as the matriarch of the family. Stacy Keach as her high profile husband. Elizabeth Marvel as her troubled daughter. Judith Light as her screwed up sister. And Justin Kirk as her son.
Opening on Christmas day in 2004, the story centers around the homecoming of Brooke (Elizabeth Marvel) and the ensuing drama that unfolds around her decision to publish a new book. As is often the case with families, the past in this play is as relevant as the present and both seem to overshadow the future.
The first act sets the stage for the revelations of the second with ultimately everything stripped to the bone. The family's secrets revealed. And it is a journey that the writer has crafted carefully. Peeling the onion slowly as we build to the climax.
Highly recommended, I particularly enjoyed Ms. Light and Ms. Klein's performances. Although the ensemble was marvelous and the piece would not have been the same had any of them been lacking. Definitely a wonderful way to spend an evening on Broadway.
Booth Theater, 222 West 45th St, (between 7th Ave & Broadway)

Ten years ago my son and his girlfriend visited our county courthouse, for a reason I no longer remember. When they returned home, they were laughing about the ineptitude of the security screening process. It seems they had gotten mildly reprimanded because Sarah had not declared the cell phone that was in her purse, found as it went through the scanner. Reaching into that same purse, she pulled out a lock-back knife with a three-inch blade (photo) and asked, incredulously, "Why didn't they yell at me for this?" A previous boyfriend had given it to her for protection, and she had forgotten it was still in there.
Fast-forward to this afternoon when I visited the courthouse. Same county, but now in a new fancy building down the street. As I approached the security area, one of the four armed security guards stated, "Everything out of your pockets and through the scanner." I then also remembered the large Leatherman tool that lives on my belt (which I should have left in the car!), including its two three-inch blades, and added it to the wallet, keys, and change I had already put in the bin on the conveyor.
When my turn came, I was waved through the metal detector and quickly 'wanded' by the guard who had called me through. He nodded that I was clear, and I collected my stuff from the other side of the X-ray machine and filled my pockets. As I was reattaching the Leatherman to my belt, I was thinking, 'this can't be right', so held up the tool to the closest guard and asked, "Is it really OK to take this in?"
"What is it?" he asked.
"A Leatherman tool," I replied.
"Absolutely not!" he said, and it was exchanged for the stub of a ticket so I could claim it on the way out.
Obviously not much has changed at our courthouse. Their crack security system still hinges on people declaring the weapons the guards miss, and is wasting buckets of taxpayers' money. In light of recent world events, that doesn't give me much of a warm fuzzy.

4 Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chocolate Cakes You Can Buy Right Now
Celebrate Chocolate Cake Day by stopping off here on the way home today. January 27 is National Chocolate Cake Day and you know there's no way we're not celebrating here at Westchester Magazine. Here are some of the best places to visit for a slice of cake to celebrate.
By: Brittany Gibson Published January 25th 2016
The cute confection known as the cupcake is popping up all over Westchester.
In case you haven't noticed, there's a cupcake revolution going on. Once the mainstay of school lunchboxes and birthday parties, the cupcake has become the coolest bakery buy, even in the land of diets. Today's cupcakes aren't your regular chocolate and vanilla concoctions, either. They may feature Oreos jutting out on top, have frosting mixed with peanut butter, be sprinkled with candy confetti, or sport mile-high buttercream icing delicately placed on ever-so-moist red velvet cake. What makes these butter-and-sugar confections so popular? They are bite-sized (more fun to eat with your hands!) and decadent enough to satisfy a sweet tooth, without busting a belt. Thankfully, in Westchester, we cupcake aficionados have lots of choices.

Quite some time ago now, I announced that I was working on trying to interview Of Mice And Men on the American Dream Tour. This tour is selling out, in fact just under half of it has sold out. It appears as though people are quite excited to see a lineup of Bring Me The Horizon, Of Mice And Men, Issues and Letlive.
As exciting as this is for the bands, and fans alike, that fact has left this journalist in a state of concern. I am hoping to attend the second date of the tour, which is on February fourth, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Unfortunately, that date sold out before I was able to purchase a ticket. All hope is not lost though, I am still working on possibly attending anyways, but some things are up in the air.
I originally asked for the interview over a month ago, and was forwarded to another guy. This guy has been as helpful as he possibly can be, and I appreciate that greatly. He's doing the best he can, and to add to that, he sent me to another person that I'm sure will do the same thing. My concern is just rising, due to the fact that the show is two weeks away and I am still unsure if I will be getting this chance or not. Not to mention, its a three hour drive across the state, just for financial reasons, I need more than a day's notice.
So, if anyone out there is reading this, please join me in the crossing of fingers and toes whilst hoping with everything I've got, that this interview will happen.
Also, if you have any questions for Of Mice And Men, please send them to me in a message on Facebook. That is the easiest place to reach me at. Just please do me a favor, do not just ask me to tell Austin Carlile things. If you wish to tell him something, you can do it yourself by Tweeting him at @Austincarlile. I cannot spend my entire time with the band relaying messages to Austin Carlile. Not to mention, I do not know who I am going to get for the interview, and there are other very important members of the band too. Always keep that in mind, for every band. Its not just the singer that counts, every member is important.

I would like to make a suggestion so as not to lose the linguistic battle. You talked about having shame-I know what you mean and I hear you. However, how about saying you feel frustration or disappointment, instead of saying you feel shame ? You are among equals here friend-no need for shame here or "out there" for that matter.You are wrong about your commitment to help others-you are already helping people. I have seen your comments many times, cheering a weary traveller on. To help people in the midst of your own struggle says a lot about you.The fact that you have been at it for five years is of little relevant significance as to what happens today or tomorrow. You have a good attitude and a lot of tenacity; many would have given up, but you are still fighting. Let's do this!
We all feel shame towards ourselves when we relapse, but I will never scold or shame anyone for PMO'ing no matter what. This is because I understand the struggle, how it is hard beyond comprehension and logic. Know that whatever you are feeling, you have a community here that will always respect and support you just for trying and failing. Best of luck

I love this FAH software. I run it on my powerbook. But for every PC or Mac in the home, there are another 3-4 Android devices.
I have 3 androids in my drawer at home with broken screens or something. I have another 2-3 android tablets laying around. I also have 3 other members of my family with androids, and I use an android phone. I just took a stroll around my office and I can see tablets and phones lying around as far as the eye can see. These devices are doing nothing but wasting space.
Every single one of these devices can connect to my wifi and could be solving folding operations, but there is no apk to download.
Why can't you port this to android, and/or even javascript? Is there any way to conceal your proprietary code to the server, and allow the actual processing take place using js?
I'm a veteran java programmer, and would LOVE to help out in any way possible. Please, let me know what I can do for you

Arab press worried about Syria
Newspapers throughout the Arab world are worried by Washington's warnings to Syria.
Syria itself is not the only country to see the hand of Israel behind the threats, while other Arab dailies fear they could be part of a domino effect aimed at the wider Islamic world.
There is also interesting comment from Kuwait, one of the few Arab countries to back the war against Iraq. But one daily sees the fall of Baghdad as a tragedy, and blames the Arabs for their part in it.
American terrorism against Syria... Syria must obtain the support of all leaders so that the tragedy of Iraq does repeat itself again and American troops do not advance on it as if at a picnic, without losses.
Al-Quds Al-Arabi - London-based
It is very clear that after Iraq, Israel is now playing all its cards to foment tension in the region, by causing insecurity, political tension and resorting to military provocation... Israel is not only exploiting the war on Iraq, but is also trying to carry out its plans of aggression against more than just one Arab and Islamic country.
Tishrin - Syria
With America's campaign against Syria and allegations that it [Syria] is harbouring former Iraqi officials and possesses weapons of mass destruction, it looks as if Syria is going to be next on the list. Perhaps Iran will follow and after that, we don't know who will be next.
Al-Watan - Saudi Arabia
Israel is now increasing tension between Syria and the USA, in the hope that another Arab state will be targeted by US aircraft.
Al-Jazirah - Saudi Arabia
The USA is bent on a collision course with Damascus. This means the region is facing another disaster, even before the shock of Iraq has past into history ... Syria should not be left alone to face the crisis being woven around its neck. There must be an urgent and extensive Arab initiative to study the Iraq experience, not only to protect Syria, but to stop the American plan that is now moving like a knife through butter.
Al-Ahram - Egypt
As Iraq faces the unknown, and is occupied, the Americans have begun levelling accusations against Syria... The game is far greater than simpletons think and more dangerous than the intelligent expect. This is a multi-faceted conspiracy whose phases are becoming unveiled day by day.
Al-Vefagh - Iranian, Arabic-language
Who thinks the war is over is deluded... The American presence in Iraq today constitutes a dangerous threat to all Arab and Muslim regions... and the occupation of Iraq is an occupation of the Arab nation from the Gulf to the Mediterranean.
Al-Watan - Qatar
The USA has excelled in being the undisputed dictator of 'the new world'... and governing the world and its people in line with its political and economic interests.
Al-Ra'y Al-Am - Sudan.
What is clear is that the USA and Britain are not ready to hand over Iraq to the UN under any circumstances... The best course for the [EU] Athens summit [on Wednesday] is to stress the positive role which the EU could play in rebuilding Iraq's economy and helping it to form a government in the shortest possible time.
Al-Sharq al-Awsat - London-based
We hope the meeting in Nasiriyah - the first of its kind in Iraq - will be a good beginning for this great Arab country and a real beginning of the process to rebuild it ... The meeting of the Iraqi opposition is today faced with the arduous mission of presenting the real civilized face of the Iraqi people distorted by decades of oppression and injustice.
Al-Ittihad - United Arab Emirates
It is the first time in the 21st century that an Arab capital has fallen. Despite the fact that the past century witnessed the fall of Jerusalem in '48, Beirut in '82, and Kabul in 2001, what happened to Baghdad is the worst. This is in fact the very first time in Arab and Muslim history that an Arab capital has fallen with the scheming and co-operation of several Arab parties.
Al-Watan - Kuwait

Africa: Faces in WordsAlysha Atma Salem-News.com African Affairs Correspondent
New weekly update on the breaking stories in the African nations.
(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Unseen, unheard; no one should be the bearer of these two words. Unfortunately, Africa is often in the forefront of this association.
Our common humanity should change this; we should never look away because it is too distant. Our commitment to one another, to human rights, and the ability to learn should always keep us connected no matter the severity and complexity of problems.
Important insights from last week, not to be missed:
Somalia facing cataclysmic crisis: With a single tear in her eye, a teenage girl takes her last breath of life, another victim of famine in Somalia. Somalia is facing a cataclysmic humanitarian tragedy and is on the brink of a drought crisis threatening some 2.4 million people, according to a UN official. "Somalia… is on the brink of a much larger disaster due to the threat of a country-wide drought," UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Valerie Amos said in New York on Thursday, AFP reported. http://www.medeshivalley.com/2011/02/somalia-facing-cataclysmic-crisis.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+medeshivalley/JLIj+(Medeshivalley.com)
Enough Project puts out road map for new international process to end Darfur conflict: The Washington-based Enough Project called on the US Administration to launch of a post Doha "proactive mediation style" to end the eight year conflict in Darfur saying any effort to domesticate the conflict will be unproductive. http://www.sudantribune.com/Enough-Project-puts-out-road-map,38031
Zimbabwe: Newspaper Vendors Harassed: Vendors selling Alpha Media Holdings (AMH) independent newspapers, which include "Newsday" and other leading South African publications, are reportedly being harassed by suspected supporters of the Zimbabwe African National Union - Political Front (Zanu-PF) political party and state agents. http://cima.ned.org/zimbabwe-newspaper-vendors-harassed
Government urged to show restraint after shooting of journalist: Reporters Without Borders said it was "shocked" at the shooting by a ministerial bodyguard today of freelance journalist Julius Odeke and called for the guard to be punished and for journalists be allowed to work freely during today's general election. http://en.rsf.org/uganda-government-urged-to-show-restraint-18-02-2011,39587.html
Chad's North West: The Next High-risk Area? - For more than five years, public attention relative to Chad has been focused on the armed rebellion in the east and the crisis in the Darfur region of neighboring Sudan, while totally neglecting the country's North West. However, there are serious risks that the rise of trans-Sahara drug trafficking and terrorism, emergence of radical Muslim movements in neighboring countries, development of inter-communal violence, decline of local traditional justice systems and lack of state governance will destabilize that ignored region. The authorities in N'Djamena need to move to change the governance system there and defuse the multiple roots of potential conflict before a crisis explodes. http://www.crisisgroup.org/en/regions/africa/central-africa/chad/B78-chads-north-west-the-next-high-risk-area.aspx
Increase in Attacks - 2011 Starts Badly for Journalists: Reporter Without Borders condemns the failure of the government to act in the face of the growing number of attacks on freedom targeting journalists. Nepal has reached an extremely worrying level of attacks on the media, mostly the responsibility of political parties and religious groups. "We call on the authorities to do everything to end these attacks, prevent a culture of impunity taking hold and dissipate the permanent feeling of insecurity which acts as brake on the creation of a free press," the press freedom organization said. http://cima.ned.org/increase-attacks-2011-starts-badly-journalists
One more Al-Midan journalist freed, four still held: Reporters Without Borders is partially relieved that three employees of the opposition weekly Al-Midan who had been arrested on 2 February were released on 12 February. But it is very concerned about the five who are still being held. The detainees have been beaten and subjected to torture, including electric shocks and sleep deprivation. http://en.rsf.org/soudan-one-more-al-midan-journalist-freed-16-02-2011,39474.html
Many HIV/Aids patients suffer pain needlessly: Recently released global data by UNAids points to enormous progress in preventing and treating HIV. More people than ever before now live with HIV as a chronic disease, rather than dying from it, because they are getting antiretroviral treatment. Kenya is a good example. Over the past year, the number of people taking the drugs has risen by 25 per cent. http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2011/02/15/many-hivaids-patients-suffer-pain-needlessly
Somalia: Stop war crimes in Mogadishu: The scale and severity of the crimes during the intense fighting in Somalia in recent months demonstrates the need for an international commission of inquiry, Human Rights Watch said today. A recent Human Rights Watch investigation found that all of the parties to the armed conflict have been responsible for indiscriminate attacks on civilians since May 2010. Some of these attacks may amount to war crimes. http://www.medeshivalley.com/2011/02/somalia-stop-war-crimes-in-mogadishu.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+medeshivalley/JLIj+(Medeshivalley.com)
Democratic Republic of Congo: aid for 90,000 isolated people in Haut - It is one of the most isolated areas in the country. Brought in with support from the National Red Cross Society, the seed and tools will be distributed in the districts of Ango, Banda, Doruma and Nyangara, benefiting some 90,000 people, both local residents and others who have fled there. "Over the past two years, most of the population has fled violence connected with the presence of the Lord's Resistance Army," explained Abdallah Togola, the ICRC delegate in charge of the operation. "Though some have by now been able to return to their homes, they have often lost everything, including food reserves from a number of harvests." Many others, he said, had taken in displaced people as an act of solidarity and were now sharing their meagre resources with them. http://www.icrc.org/eng/resources/documents/news-release/2011/congo-kinshasa-news-2011-02-14.htm
Alysha Atma spends many hours working on projects that support and benefit the beleaguered people of African nations who spend way too much time off the western media's radar. This writer explains that she is a culmination of all her experiences, most importantly knowledge she says, and all that she still needs to learn; lessons of love, laughter and the extraordinary giving of both young and old. She says she has the enormous fortune of learning from the best; every person around her, and the amazing strength and fortitude of those she has never met but will always strive to listen to. "I continue to work and write because I believe in the power of community and the power of one, both contradictory to each other and yet can move together in a very powerful way. I feel a responsibility to use my place, freedoms and connections here in the US to stand up and yell for those who need my voice and actions. I have seen such strength in my fellow humans that I cannot even begin to comprehend, they have traveled distances, have gone without food, water, shelter and safety for days and weeks at a time. I have a responsibility as a fellow human to put our common humanity before anything else. Everyone deserves to look towards tomorrow, to dream of a safe future and to have a peaceful present."

Latics forward Kirk Millar has had his loan move to Stockport County delayed due to injury.Millar, who joined the club in 2009, was set to join the Hatters for a month but picked up a knock in training yesterday, disrupting his move.
Speaking about the proposed move, manager Lee Johnson was keen for the youngster to get some game time.
He said: "I really feel Kirk is at a point in his career where he needs to get some regular games. I'm keen for him to go to Stockport because I know he will do well.
"He's a good player and hopefully when he goes, he'll come back with some games and goals under his belt."

Many people have misconceptions when it comes to working with real estate agents. When venturing into a real estate transaction and selecting an agent, it all comes down to building relationships.
As with differing transactions, agents are often diverse and may excel in varying aspects of the real estate process. From strong negotiating skills to excelling in advanced technology, realtors are professionals with a common goal, which is to guide you through the process with ease and professionalism.
Here are a few common myths that people harbor about real estate agents:
Myth No. 1: The "local neighborhood" agent is always best. In today's world of advanced technology, local marketing has been usurped by the prevalence of ubiquitous Web sites. If selling a home, your agent should have the ability to market to a wide audience. Increasing the buyer pool may conversely diminish the overall market time. Interview agents from varying areas and discuss their methods of marketing, their experience and areas of expertise.
At Gay Realty Watch, we look for news to share with you about the gay real estate market – both lgbt real estate news and news specific to gay and lesbian real estate meccas.

School Website Design in Carlisle, CumbriaPrimary schools £200 per year with one initial £700 setup fee*
Secondary schools £400 per year with one initial £2000 setup fee*
Designing a school website? Our extensive experience creating and managing websites for schools means we are in a great position to provide a fully tailored website for your school or academy. Having previously worked directly for schools for over 15 years, instead of on their behalf, we understand the legal requirements of what must be made available online as well as the need to minimise staff workload when managing the content yourselves, designing over 15 websites for schools and academies.
Our websites are created on a secure content management system which allows you to define specific levels of access for those staff who will need to make updates and add new content to your website. This means you can easily control who can do what,
making sure only the areas that someone needs to update can be altered.
The whole website is managed through a highly flexible page builder platform, letting you create custom layouts and add a wide range of design features such as images, text areas, buttons, embedded videos and much more without having to do any coding at all.
Having worked with many businesses and schools across the UK, our school web design services are not limited to the Carlisle and Cumbria areas, we can easily work with you wherever your school is based.
Call Chris today on 07880 858381 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com for more information

Nanoporous Materials Explorer
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Using the Nanoporous Explorer App
- 3 Material Classes
- 4 Material Classes
Nanoporous materials are defined as materials having a porosity at the scale of less than 100 nm and often have pores comparable to the size of individual molecules. This gives rise to a series of unique properties, making nanoporous materials useful for industrially important applications such as gas storage, separations, catalysis, et cetera. A vast number of unique nanoporous materials can be created, varying in chemical composition and pore topology. Thousands such materials have already been synthesized and hundreds of thousand hypothetical materials have been computationally predicted. In addition, a considerable number of computational screening studies have appeared in the literature that examine the potential of nanoporous materials for a series of applications. This has generated a substantial amount of data that cannot be presented efficiently by traditional publications. To address this, the Nanoporous Explorer App provides a platform for the aggregation and presentation of data related to nanoporous materials and their properties in an interactive way. The app aims to ease the access to the available information in a way that was not previously possible and enable the identification of promising materials based on their performance and properties. The data for the Nanoporous Explorer App are predicted, measured, and/or maintained by the Nanoporous Materials Genome Center (NMGC), www.chem.umn.edu/nmgc/index.html. This manual covers the description of the classes of materials and type of properties currently accessible.
Using the Nanoporous Explorer App
The search interface of the Nanoporous Explorer App is built around an interactive 2-dimensional scatter plot. In order to initiate a search and generate a scatter plot, you need to select one or more of the available material and adsorbate classes from the drop down menu at the top of the screen and hit the "Explore Nanoporous Materials" button. The default selection includes all the available material classes and no adsorbates.
Interfacing with the data
Once a scatter plot has been generated based on a set of selected material and adsorbate classes, you can click and drag the mouse cursor on the plot to zoom in on a specific area. When zoomed in, a "reest zoom" button will appear to go back to the default plot size. The sliders on the right of the screen can adjust the pressure and temperature range of the data. You can click on a point in the scatter plot to access a list of materials in the vicinity of the chosen point. The materials close to chosen point will appear as a table below the scatter plot, and you can obtain detailed information about the material by clicking on each material in the table The details page for each material provides all the properties available for this specific material. Such details include pore characteristics and material properties for all the materials as well as adsorption properties (Henry's constants, adsorption isotherms and the heats of adsorption) for a subset of the materials.
Material Classes
CoRE MOFs
Computation-Ready, Experimental Metal-Organic Framework Database (CoRE MOF Database)
Computation-Ready, Experimental MOF database was constructed by a collaboration within the Nanoporous Materials Genome Center. The database is derived from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), which contains a large number of small organic and inorganic molecules as well as periodic structures. After the construction of the database, a large-scale GCMC simulation was carried out on all the structures in the database for methane storage and working capacity [1]

Whether it's the wildlife, scenery, or people you remember most, Africa is out on its own for sheer scale, variety and dramatic impact. It's an extraordinary place that will entice you back again and again, from the elegance and charm of Cape Town to the primal attractions of the Serengeti and the impossibly-perfect beaches lapped by the Indian Ocean.
With its gleaming towers rising out of the desert, constantly sun-drenched beaches, world-beating designer shopping and fabulous hotels, the UAE serves up the very last word in urbane glamour, while Oman is a stylish and sophisticated choice for those looking to enjoy the very best Arabia has to offer.
How can you begin to sum up Asia? Mysterious, majestic, surprising, spiritual, energetic, enticing… it's all those and more. A trip here is a true voyage of discovery, not least because its cultures and history have been hidden to Western eyes for too long, and with so much to explore, you'll be back time and again.
Explore, cherish and fall in love with Australia, the world's largest island; the epic countryside and adrenaline-junkie Eden of New Zealand, or the spectacularly laid-back islands of French Polynesia – which bring to life just how dreamy reality can get.
Hunker down by translucent shores and shady palms to breathe in jasmine and hibiscus and watch the hovering of miracle-winged hummingbirds. Why not explore the stunning tiny islands of the Caribbean?
From the sun-kissed Mediterranean to sophisticated cities, Europe's diversity is without equal. Its converted castles, restored monasteries, refurbished palaces and rolling landscapes are all testimony to its fascinating history, whilst the gourmet cuisine, vintage wines and glamorous nightlife reflect the continent's irrepressible joie de vivre.
Choose from idyllic islands adrift in the Indian Ocean, seducing you with overwater villas, underwater reefs, iridescent white sands, swaying sugar cane and cerulean oceans; or the magnificence of the Indian Subcontinent's temples, Buddhist Kingdoms and beaches throughout Sri Lanka – all serving up a feast for senses as well as the soul.
Straddling the two Poles and encompassing myriad landscapes and cultures, The Americas offer an almost tireless treasure trove of experiences for travellers, from the remains of ancient civilizations in South America to the gleaming cities of Canada and the US, peppered amongst ever-changing landscapes which define majesty.
With its 100 windows overlooking the San Marco basin, charmed location, and elegantly decorated 19th-century Biedermeier-style rooms, the views at the intimate Londra Palace (inside and out) have captivated artistic types like Tchaikovsky, Gabriele D'Annunzio and Jorge Luis Borges for the past 150 years.
Piazza San Marco, the vaporetti and gondolas are a stone's throw away, and even if your room overlooks the roofs and church towers rather than the lagoon, the vistas are no less inspiring.
