Operation Entebbe was a counter-terrorism hostage-rescue mission carried out by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at Entebbe Airport in Uganda on July 4, 1976.[1] A week earlier, on June 27, an Air France plane with 300 passengers was hijacked by Palestinian terrorists and flown to Entebbe, near Kampala, the capital of Uganda. Shortly after landing, all non-Jewish passengers were released.
The IDF acted on intelligence provided by Israeli secret agency Mossad. In the wake of the hijacking by members of the militant organizations Revolutionary Cells and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, along with the hijackers' threats to kill the hostages if their prisoner release demands were not met, the rescue operation was planned.[2] These plans included preparation of armed resistance from Ugandan military troops.[3]
Led by 30-year-old commander Yonatan Netanyahu, the operation took place under cover of darkness, as Israeli transport planes carried 100 elite commandos over 2,500 miles to Uganda for the rescue operation. The operation, which took a week of planning, lasted 90 minutes and 103 hostages were rescued. Five Israeli commandos were wounded and the only death was of commander Netanyahu. All the hijackers, three hostages and 45 Ugandan soldiers were killed, and 11 Russian-built MiG fighters of Uganda's air force were destroyed. [4] A fourth hostage was murdered [5] by Ugandan army officers at a nearby hospital.[6]
The successful rescue, originally codenamed Operation Thunderball,[note 1] was later renamed Operation Yonatan in memory of the units leader, Yonatan Netanyahu. He was the older brother of Benjamin Netanyahu, currently the Prime Minister of Israel.[7] As a direct result of the successful operation, the United States military developed highly-trained rescue teams modeled on the Entebbe rescue. Its most visible, although unsuccessful effort, was the attempted rescue of 53 American embassy personnel held hostage in Tehran, during the Iran hostage crisis.

On 27 June 1976, Air France Flight 139, an Airbus A300 (Airbus A300B4-203), registration F-BVGG (cn 019), originating from Tel Aviv, Israel, carrying 248 passengers and a crew of 12, took off from Athens, heading for Paris.[10][note 2] Soon after the 12:30 p.m. takeoff, the flight was hijacked by two Palestinians from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - External Operations (PFLP-EO) and two Germans from the German Revolutionary Cells—Wilfried Böse and Brigitte Kuhlmann. The hijackers diverted the flight to Benghazi, Libya.[11] There it was held on the ground for seven hours for refuelling, during which time a female hostage was released—who pretended to be having a miscarriage.[2] The plane left Benghazi, and at 3:15 p.m. it arrived at Entebbe Airport in Uganda.[11]
At Entebbe, the four hijackers were joined by at least four others, supported by the pro-Palestinian forces of Uganda's President, Idi Amin. They demanded the release of 40 Palestinians held in Israel and 13 other detainees imprisoned in Kenya, France, Switzerland, and West Germany. They threatened that if these demands were not met, they would begin to kill hostages on 1 July 1976.[12] The hijackers deliberately sorted the hostages into two groups—Jews and Gentiles.[13] As they did so a Holocaust survivor showed Böse a camp registration number tattooed on his arm, Böse protested "I'm no Nazi! ... I am an idealist".[13] The hijackers held the passengers hostage for a week in the transit hall of Entebbe Airport—now the old terminal. Some hostages were released, but 105 remained captive.[11] The hijackers threatened to kill them if Israel did not comply with their demands.[12]
Upon the announcement by the hijackers that the airline crew and non-Jewish passengers would be released and put on another Air France plane that had been brought to Entebbe for that purpose, the flight captain Michel Bacos told the hijackers that all passengers, including those remaining, were his responsibility and that he would not leave them behind. Bacos' entire crew followed suit. A French nun also refused to leave, insisting that one of the remaining hostages take her place, but she was forced into the awaiting Air France plane by Ugandan soldiers.[3] A total of 85 Israeli and/or Jewish hostages remained, as well as 20 others, most of whom included the crew of the Air France plane.[1][14]
On the 1 July deadline,[15] the Israeli government offered to negotiate with the hijackers in order to extend the deadline to 4 July. Amin asked them to extend the deadline until 4 July. This meant he could take a diplomatic trip to Port Louis, Mauritius, in order to officially hand over the chairmanship of the Organisation of African Unity to Seewoosagur Ramgoolam.[16] This extension of the hostage deadline would prove crucial in allowing Israeli forces enough time to get to Entebbe.[10] On 3 July, the Israeli cabinet approved the rescue mission,[17] under the command of Major General Yekutiel "Kuti" Adam with Matan Vilnai as the Deputy Commander.[18] Brigadier General Dan Shomron was appointed to command the operation on the ground.[19] After days of collecting intelligence and planning by Netanyahu's deputy Moshe "Muki" Betser, four Israeli Air Force C-130 Hercules transport aircraft flew secretly to Entebbe Airport, by cover of night, without aid of Entebbe ground control.[14]
Their route was over Sharm al-Sheikh, and down the international flight path over the Red Sea, flying at a height of no more than 30 m (100 feet) to avoid radar detection by Egyptian, Sudanese, and Saudi Arabian forces. Near the south outlet of the Red Sea the C-130s turned south and passed south of Djibouti. From there they went to a point north east of Nairobi, Kenya—likely across Somalia and the Ogaden area of Ethiopia. They then turned west passing through the African Rift Valley and over Lake Victoria.[20] They were followed by two Boeing 707 jets. The first Boeing contained medical facilities and landed at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya. The commander of the operation, General Yekutiel Adam, was on board the second Boeing that circled over Entebbe Airport during the raid.[19]
The Israeli ground task force numbered approximately 100 personnel, and comprised the following:[19]
The Israeli forces landed at Entebbe at 23:00 IST, with their cargo bay doors already open. A black Mercedes and accompanying Land Rovers were taken along to give the impression that the Israeli troops driving from the landed aircraft to the terminal building were an escort for a returning Amin, or other high-ranking official.[3][21] The Mercedes and its escort vehicles were quickly driven by the Israeli assault team members to the airport terminal in the same fashion as Amin. Along the way, two Ugandan sentries, who were aware that Idi Amin had recently purchased a white Mercedes to replace his black one, ordered this procession of vehicles to stop. The commandos shot at the sentries with silenced pistols, missing both of them.[3] As they pulled away, an Israeli commando in one of the Land Rovers that followed the Mercedes noticed that they had failed to eliminate the sentries and immediately killed them with a burst from his Kalashnikov.[3] Fearing premature alerting of associates to the hijackers, the assault team was quickly sent into action.[21]
The Israelis sprang from their vehicles and burst towards the terminal. During this brief but intense moment, Commander Yonatan Netanyahu was fatally wounded, possibly by a Ugandan sniper in the airport control tower. He was the only Israeli commando killed in the operation.[10] The hostages were in the main hall of the airport building, directly adjacent to the runway. Upon entering the terminal, the commandos were shouting through a megaphone, "Stay down! Stay down! We are Israeli soldiers." in both Hebrew and English. A 19-year-old French Jew named Jean-Jacques Maimoni—who chose to identify himself as an Israeli Jew to the hijackers even though he had a French passport—stood up,[11] but was killed by the Israeli commandos, who mistook him for a hijacker. Another hostage, Pasco Cohen, 52, manager of an Israeli medical insurance fund, was also fatally wounded by gunfire, either from the hijackers or accidentally by the Israeli commandos.[11] In addition, a third hostage, 56-year-old Ida Borochovitch, a Russian Jew who had emigrated to Israel, was killed in the crossfire.[11]
At one point, an Israeli commando called out in Hebrew, "Where are the rest of them?", referring to the hijackers. The hostages pointed to a connecting door of the airport's main hall, into which the Israeli commandos threw several hand grenades. They then entered the room and shot dead the three remaining hijackers, thus completing their assault.[10] Meanwhile, the other three C-130 Hercules had landed and unloaded armoured personnel carriers, which were to be used for defense during the anticipated hour of refuelling; for the destruction of Ugandan jet fighters at the airport so as to prevent them from pursuing the Israelis after their departure from Entebbe Airport; and for intelligence-gathering.[10]
After the raid, the Israeli assault team returned to their aircraft and began loading the hostages on board. Ugandan soldiers shot at them in the process. The Israeli commandos returned fire with their assault rifles, killing many Ugandan soldiers. The Israelis finished the loading, loaded Netanyahu's body into one of the aeroplanes, and then left Entebbe Airport.[4] The entire operation lasted 53 minutes—of which the assault lasted only 30 minutes, and all seven hijackers that were present were killed.[10] At least five other Israeli commandos were wounded. Out of the 105 hostages, three were killed and approximately 10 were wounded. Around 33 to 45 Ugandan soldiers were killed during the raid, and about 11 Ugandan Army Air Force MiG-17 fighter planes were destroyed on the ground at Entebbe Airport.[4] The rescued hostages were flown to Israel via Nairobi, Kenya, shortly after the fighting.[7][4]
Dora Bloch, a 75-year-old British Israeli hostage taken to Mulago Hospital in Kampala, was murdered by the Ugandan government, as were some of her doctors and nurses for apparently trying to intervene.[11] In April 1987, Henry Kyemba, Uganda's Attorney General and Minister of Justice at the time, told the Uganda Human Rights Commission that Bloch had been dragged from her hospital bed and murdered by two army officers on Idi Amin's orders.[22] Mrs Bloch had been shot and her body dumped in the boot of a car which had Ugandan intelligence services number plates. Bloch's remains were recovered near a sugar plantation 20 miles (32 km) east of Kampala in 1979,[6] after the Ugandan–Tanzanian War led to the end of Amin's rule.[23]
Israeli firms were often involved in building projects in Africa during the 1960s and 1970s. One reason the raid was so well-planned was that the building in which the hostages were being held was built by Solel Boneh, an Israeli construction firm, which still had the blueprints, and supplied them to the government of Israel. Additionally, Mossad built an accurate picture of the whereabouts of the hostages, the number of militants and the involvement of Ugandan troops from the released hostages in Paris.[24] While planning the military operation, the Israeli army built a partial replica of the airport terminal with the help of some Israeli civilians who were involved in building the actual terminal. A very high level of secrecy was maintained, and the civilian contractors who had built the replica were detained as "guests" of the military until the rescue was declared a success.[25]
According to a 5 July 2006, Associated Press interview with raid organizer "Muki" Betser, Mossad operatives extensively interviewed the hostages who had been released.[26] As a result, another source of information was a French-Jewish passenger who had been mistakenly released with the non-Jewish hostages. Betser reports that the man had military training and "a phenomenal memory," allowing him to give information about the number and arms of the hostage-takers, among other useful details.[26]
In the week prior to the raid, Israel had tried a number of political avenues to obtain the release of the hostages. Many sources indicate that the Israeli cabinet was prepared to release Palestinian prisoners if a military solution seemed unlikely to succeed. A retired IDF officer, Baruch "Burka" Bar-Lev, had known Idi Amin for many years and was considered to have a strong personal relationship with him. At the request of the cabinet he spoke with Amin on the phone many times, attempting to obtain the release of the hostages, without success.[27][28]
The government of Uganda, led by Juma Oris, the Ugandan Foreign Minister at the time, later convened a session of the United Nations Security Council to seek official condemnation of the Israeli raid,[29] as a violation of Ugandan sovereignty. The Security Council ultimately declined to pass any resolution on the matter, condemning neither Israel, nor Uganda. In his address to the Council, Israeli ambassador Chaim Herzog said:
We come with a simple message to the Council: we are proud of what we have done because we have demonstrated to the world that a small country, in Israel's circumstances, with which the members of this Council are by now all too familiar, the dignity of man, human life and human freedom constitute the highest values. We are proud not only because we have saved the lives of over a hundred innocent people—men, women and children—but because of the significance of our act for the cause of human freedom.[30][31]—HERZOG, Chaim.
UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim described the raid as "a serious violation of the national sovereignty of a United Nations member state" (meaning Uganda).
For refusing to depart (and subsequently leave some of his passengers as hostages) when given leave to do so by the hijackers, Captain Bacos was reprimanded by his superiors at Air France and suspended from duty for a period. He was awarded by Israel for his heroism of refusing to leave the Jewish hostages behind.[32]
Idi Amin was humiliated by the surprise raid. He believed Kenya had colluded with Israel in planning the raid and hundreds of Kenyans living in Uganda were massacred soon afterwards. But from this time, Amin's regime began to break down, and two years later, he was forced into exile in Saudi Arabia. Amin died in Jeddah in August 2003.[33]
In the ensuing years, Betser and the Netanyahu brothers—Iddo and Benjamin, all Sayeret Matkal veterans—argued in increasingly public forums about who was to blame for the unexpected early firefight which caused Yonatan Netanyahu's death and partial loss of tactical surprise.[34][35]
The aircraft was carrying 248 passengers and 12 crew members[10][note 2]—of which four passengers were killed and ten injured.[7][4] From the total of 260 people on board, 256 returned home safely. A fourth hostage was later killed by Ugandan army officers at the Mulago Hospital in Kampala.
The four passengers killed were:
According to a list by Air France, most of the passengers were Israeli, French, United States, and United Kingdom citizens. All of the 105 hostages taken were Jews. The complete list is as follows:

The incident was the subject of several films, two of which were U.S. productions with American/British casts; a third was produced in Israel with mostly Israeli actors in the key roles. The hijacking of Air France Flight AF139 and the subsequent rescue mission is featured in the documentary Operation Thunderbolt: Entebbe.[36] Below follow a complete list of films on the subjects:
Other depictions include:
According to a UK government file on the crisis, an unnamed contact within the Euro-Arab Parliamentary Association attempted to convince a British diplomat in Paris, shortly after the hijacking, that the Israeli Secret Services and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), had acted together to seize the plane. According to this version, the Shin Bet helped design the operation to undermine the PLO's standing in France and its rapprochement with the USA.[39] Israel denied the contact's claim about Israeli involvement,[40] with officials in the Vice Premier's office calling it "foolishness" and "not worthy of comment."[41] The absence of specific details supporting the allegation led to claims that there had been a deliberate act of disinformation, an attempt to develop a conspiracy theory.[42]

Did you know that you have the power to turn a bad day into a good day. I'm serious, it takes just as much energy to stay mad, as it does to move on. Actually it probably takes more energy to stay mad, because if your mad then your stuck. Being stuck is not a good feeling. You could feel stuck in your job, your relationship, your work out routine, or just in life in general.
I didn't just wake up one day and now how to do this. I'm still a work in progress and I probably always will be. Once I learned how easy it is to move on then I decided to that. Think about when you don't like someone and they did something to hurt you, or make you mad. Now imagine you run into this person at the store. Your are going to get triggered by this person, and it will be a negative trigger since they've hurt you in some way.
Now enter your choices. You can try your best to avoid them during this visit to the store. You can think up all the ways you hate them and why. You can hide behind every corner and stay out of aisle they are in, or you could even abandon the store entirely.
Or you could decide to forgive them. You could decide this being angry is taking up to much negative energy in your life. You could choose to move on. Depending on the situation and your relationship with the person, this scenario can vary.
When I tell you to forgive someone that does not mean that you need to become friends with them again. It means that you've decided to forgive yourself, and while doing so, you released some of the negativity energy from your body. Actually this is one of those things I didn't know I didn't know. I thought staying mad was the easy thing to do. I think I was more mad at myself then I was at her. I was mad because I knew better, I was mad because I was hurt and I was mad because I couldn't believe that I had ended up here.
In life people will either make you feel good when they around,or they will make you feel bad. There's no in between. Either your a positive or a negative! Don't compromise your feelings and self worth for anyone at anytime. Don't carry around anger and resentment, but don't ignore it either. Most of the time our feeling just need to be validated and then we can move on.
The next time you encounter one of these situations I encourage you to remember this article! Surround yourself with those who love you, those who make you better, the people who are your biggest fans are there for a reason! But don't be fooled because your haters are there for a lesson too!

'Havana Syndrome': Canadian diplomats who worked in Cuba suing Ottawa for $28M
OTTAWA -- Canadian diplomats who were based in Havana are suing the federal government for $28 million in connection with mysterious health issues consistent with traumatic brain injuries experienced while they were in Cuba.
The group suing the government includes 15 people: five diplomatic staff members, their spouses and children, who worked in Cuba between 2016 and 2018.
According to the statement of claim filed in federal court, the group—all unnamed plaintiffs— allege that over the past few years these diplomatic families have "been targeted and injured, suffering severe and traumatic harm by means that are not clear."
These diplomatic families—who spoke with CTV News under the condition of anonymity—have reported symptoms similar to concussions such as dizziness, confusion, headaches, and nosebleeds.
"My brain just doesn't work the way it used to," one woman said, adding that she sometimes suddenly loses her balance.
"My kids are having nosebleeds," said another. "My youngest son is passing out for no reason."
The statement of claim refers to the mysterious illness as the "Havana Syndrome." It remains unclear what has caused these diplomats to experience these symptoms. It had been thought perhaps it was a sonic attack, or even crickets.
American diplomats in Havana have been thought to be the targets of what U.S. officials have called "health attacks," as they have also reported similar symptoms that the American government has been probing.
The group alleges that the Canadian government mishandled the crisis, deliberately withheld information from these Canadian diplomats, damaged their reputations and put their families in harm's way.
"Throughout the crisis, Canada downplayed the seriousness of the situation, hoarded and concealed critical health and safety information, and gave false, misleading, and incomplete information to diplomatic staff," reads the statement of claim.
When American diplomats first acknowledged the unexplained health effects as early as November 2016, U.S. officials informed the Canadian embassy. But Canadian diplomats told CTV News that the information was not shared with them.
When one diplomat was eventually tipped off by his American neighbour, he said a "light" went off in his head: "This is exactly what's going on in my house," he recalled thinking. When he told the Canadian ambassador, he claims he was given orders to keep the information under wraps.
The new documents detail an effort to silence the affected embassy staff, who were sent for medical testing in Cuba, Canada and the U.S, with only sporadic follow-up appointments. The diplomats are still waiting to undergo some tests.
Several Canadian families began leaving Cuba by the summer of 2017. At least one diplomat was told by Global Affairs that Ottawa couldn't guarantee his safety, he said in the interview with CTV News. Still, families continued to be posted to Havana. One woman arrived in September 2017 with her young child after they were reassured there was no risk to their safety. The house they lived in had already been hit by the "Havana Syndrome," she told CTV News.
"If I had known that there were so many families, and that there were young kids affected, and that there had been instances in my house," she said, she probably wouldn't have moved.
Speaking to reporters in Washington, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said she was aware of the lawsuit but would not comment on the specifics.
"I've met with some of the affected Canadian diplomats who had been serving in Cuba and they told me about their situation. I'm really concerned about them and they have Canada's utmost sympathy and support. They were in Cuba representing us and representing our country and their health and safety absolutely needs to be a priority," Freeland said.

knives1990 posted a topic in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel LinksInterest seems nearly dead here but thought I'd ask. What kind of card ratios would make the new update to the Balance skill work?
Road rash is the stones my friend

Favorite card?
knives1990 replied to SleepyHallo's topic in Yu-Gi-Oh! General GroundzToon World
I already bought the pack for it I was just restrospectively hoping I didn't waste my money is all lol
It is hard to know and sorry for sounding rude, I just already had the starting point of maybe it's 45 and I didn't need someone else to tell me that it might actually be worth the sticker price. That much I had figured out. Turns out it's extremely hard to pin down; I've asked a ton of people. I have already bought the pack because my shop sucks balls (no singles, terrible packs on hand), so I decided to just buy this so I could get the LART promo card. I plan on never opening it, just deciding what to price it at when I look for buyers. Ideally I want to make my money back and then some. I've heard anywhere from 60-$100 for a Sealed Pack, $3000 for the entire set (which is only 10 cards). So I am stuck atm
If you don't know for sure, I'm not interested. Thank you
Premium Pack

These are the specs
I ended up getting something from Best Buy for $479, I'll update with pics in the morning as I can't really remember what the specs were. As far as tablets go, I've always loved kindles so I got the new amazon fire 8 HD and am really liking it so far. Incredible bargain as well at $100
Shopping for laptop and tablet
knives1990 posted a topic in Tech SupportI don't need anything really nice on either end, but my laptop is old as fuck and finally showing signs of trouble. I don't game on the laptop but I do play some duelingbook here and there. It would basically only be used for communications, facebook, and the occasional duelingbook. similarly, the tablet I don't need to be top of the line or anything. If it can play and support duelingbook that would be great. It'll be mostly kind of like my iPhone where I'm not doing a whole lot on it. any recommendations would be appreciated

Vettel: Red Bull may end up "beating themselves" in Mexico
Sebastian Vettel says Red Bull's ongoing reliability issues gives him reason to believe he can still be a factor in the fight for victory in the Mexican Grand Prix.
Red Bull has been the class of the field in Mexico this weekend, topping every session and locking out the front row of the grid as Daniel Ricciardo edged out Max Verstappen.
But with the Milton Keynes-based team having endured a run of race ending failures this season – and Verstappen being stopped by an hydraulics issue on Friday – Vettel thinks that the result is far from certain.
"We have probably the best reliability so far," said Vettel. "With the Red Bulls, they are very fast and hard to beat, but maybe they beat themselves. We see.
"It is a long race. It will be decided over strategy and tyres, and how confident you are at end of stint and how much you can push."
Ferrari has been quickest of all in a straightline in Mexico but has lost out to the opposition in corners, something that Vettel believes comes from his car's lack of ultimate downforce.
"I think it is aero," he said. "We are quite fast in the straight but mostly because we have less downforce than the others, so we are fast on the straights and slow in the corners.
"This is probably not the track where efficiency counts for much, so you need all the downforce you can get. It was expected that Red Bull would be quick. Also with the huge turbo that the Renault has, they lose less power up here."
The straightline speed advantage against Renault could be critical in allowing Vettel to leapfrog the Red Bulls at the start, but he is not expecting anything to be easy.
"Well, from fourth it's a bit difficult to grab the lead but who knows what happens. We will focus on our start and then go from there.
"If there's an opportunity I think we go for it. But it's a long race, I think it will be more important to manage the tyres later on than making up ground at the start, but sure, if you can, you have to go for it. "

Adentity news
A visit to Copenhagen, Denmark can surely be an inspiring and eye-opening experience. The city is filled with colourful buildings, a fabulous food scene, culture and laid-back atmosphere. The Adentity team decided to take the 30 min train over to the neighbouring country for an inspiring day to kick-off work after the summer holidays. Ready for a whistle-stop tour of the city's best bits handpicked by Adentity? Let's go!
Our first tip is for the early birds. About 10 min stroll from Copenhagen H, through the heart of the city, you find the coffee bar Kompa' 9, located on Strædet. There we started off with some of their organic coffee and a proper Danish breakfast in a cosy surrounding.
With filled stomachs and energy, we continued to Copenhagen's waterfront to the Danish Architecture Center (DAC). The exhibitions at DAC showcase architectural wonders, international trends and design history. We went to see the exhibition of the world-renowned Danish architects BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group on an architectural journey across time from Big Bang to Singularity. A truly inspiring and colourful exhibition showingBIG's borderless creativity and how they give form to our future.
Don't forget to visit the DAC Café, where you are able to experience Copenhagen's vibrant city life from high above at the large rooftop terraces. To one side, you have spectacular views of the vibrant waterfront, and to the other, the Copenhagen Cultural District. We decided for a cold beverage on their comfortable sunbeds before we continued our day.
After a walk from DAC we arrived for some lunch at the meat packing district Kødbyen, a creative cluster with a broad range of high-quality restaurants. We decided to try out the hip brewpub WarPigs – an experience out of the ordinary. Besides from offering freshly made American-Danish style craft beer, WarPigs also serves authentic Texas barbecue.
Next up on the agenda was a street art tour in the districts of Vesterbro. Although graffiti is omnipresent in Copenhagen, street art is something entirely different. The street art in Copenhagen usually covers an entire side of a building in an artistic manner and adds significant value to the neighbourhood. We went to see some iconic pieces, one just by our lunch place, then we continued to one at Oehlenschlægersgade, Sankelmarksgade and lastly Saxogade.
A bus ride later we arrived at our final destination, Reffen. An urban playground for co-creation, innovation, food and creativity – and last but not least – the largest street food market in the Nordics. The Adentity team tried some interesting food and enjoyed the beautiful surrounding before heading back to Malmö, filled with inspiration, feeling refreshed and ready to start off new exciting projects.
During summertime we tend to meet people that encounter Sweden for the first time and are curious on "typical Swedish things". First that comes to mind may be Swedish corporations like IKEA, Volvo and H&M that undeniably made a significant international splash together with superstars like Zlatan and ABBA. But below the surface there is much more to be said about Sweden's creative landscape. We decided to shine a light on Swedish brands that might not be the most the typical respond. Let's take a look at some really exciting brands influencing the image of Sweden.
The oat drink Oatly is changing consumption patterns in urban cities. It was founded back in the 1990s and is based on Swedish research from Lund University. The company's patented enzyme technology copies nature's own process and turns fiber rich oats into nutritional liquid food that is perfectly designed for humans. Today, the Swedish company remains independent and dedicated to upgrading the lives of individuals and the general well being of the planet through a lineup of original oat drinks. Oatly has positioned themselves as an independent, funny, provocative and sympathetic alternative for diary products which has been a true success.
Kånken is growing its position as the urban backpack. With the Swedish mantra in mind, "Straight backs are happy backs," Fjällräven created the first Kånken in 1978 to spare the backs of school children, as back problems had begun to appear in increasingly younger age groups. Simple, stylish and functional, the Kånken backpack soon became a common sight in schools around the country, quickly spreading to cities around the world as an iconic Swedish export. Take a look at the most recent competition and hashtag #kankenart for some beautiful personalised Kånken made by its bearers.
Spotify has totally redefined the music industry and transformed music listening forever when it launched in Sweden in 2008. Today Spotify is the most popular global audio streaming subscription service with 232m users, including 108m subscribers, across 79 markets. Spotify is the largest driver of revenue to the music business. They have sure managed to provide a legal online music streaming services as an alternative to pirated music file-sharing sites.
Hövding is the world's first airbag for urban cyclists and it breaks new ground in cities around the world. It all started with the insight: "Why force people to wear something they don't like? There must be another way". The resulting innovation was the collarworn; Hövding (meaning 'Chief' in Swedish). Through the advanced sensors and unique algorithm Hövding detects the cyclist's movement patterns and reacts and inflates in 0,1 second in case of an accident. The specialized airbag inflates to cover your head and fixates the neck to provide you with the best protection on the market, up to 8 times better than a traditional helmet. The headoffice is actually not far from ours, in Malmö, Sweden.
Sweden sure is creative and filled with passionate thinkers and exciting brands that stretch beyond its most famous brands, and the list can definitely be made longer.What brands are typically Swedish for you?

[Plugin: Yet Another Related Posts Plugin] No related posts
I can't get the YARPP plugin to work. I'm running WP 2.8 and 3.0.6. Just upgraded both WP and the plugin yesterday, which is when it stopped working. It worked great before. The server is running PHP5 and MySQL 5.0.45.
I read through the FAQ and the forums to try and figure out what's going on, but still can't get it working. When I re-build the cache, then return to the YARPP options page, it shows the cache at 0%. The build on the fly option is enabled.
Any help would be appreciated.
It works great with me, using wp2.8 and the lastest version
You should check your current pluginmitcho (Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine)
badke, it sounds like you have the requirements to use the plugin covered… Do you get any errors? Are you getting the "no related posts" message on your posts, or no text at all?mitcho (Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine)
badke, this new beta may correct your issue:
Having the same problems.
WordPress 2.8.2
Started with 3.0.6 and noticed "No related posts." checked for update and setup 3.0.8b2 and still cannot get any related posts to show.
As badke said, mine was also working fine prior to updating.
Been trying to resolve this for a few hours now with no luck.
Also as further confirmation even when logged into ADMIN and under posts.
These are the related entries for this entry. Updating this post may change these related posts.
None of the posts under WordPress – Admin – Posts show related.
@degrama – what you describe is a different issue than what was described above… could you check your wp_yarpp_related_cache table and see if there's anything in it? You can try clearing it as well and rebuilding the cache.roggie
I'm having the same issue –
yarpp 3.0.7 wp 2.8.2, was working well, until I changed a value in relatedness and rebuilt database using the admin panel button.
After that, "No related posts" displayed by widget.
I've checked wp_yarpp_related_cache – it had lots of data. I deleted all data from wp_yarpp_related_cache and wp_yarpp_keyword_cache
build on the fly option enabled.
and still "No related posts" displayed by widget.
Grateful for any help! -Roger
Roger, that is odd indeed. Did you try the beta release I mentioned above?roggie
Mitcho – Thanks for your reply – today I tried the beta you mentioned and 3.0.8b4 – same problem with both.
I also reverted the back to your standard settings and CSS, but still no luck.
It's a shame because the plugin looks really good, the customisable CSS is great. If only it would display the related posts 🙂
Roger, you said it was working before for you?htv7
I'm running version WP 2.8, yet-another-related-posts-plugin 3.0.8 is not working !I isntalled by your instruction.
Its always show like this :These are the related entries for this entry. Updating this post may change these related posts.
No related posts.
Thanks for your support
htv7, ah, that's the display on the edit post screen… how about on the post itself, though, when you view it? Does it display there?invisiblepilot
I'm having the same problem – WP 2.8.2 and have tried both YARPP 3.0.8 and 3.0.8b2..
Everything seems to be in good order, but the result is always the "No Related Post" (or, "No related photos" when the photo template is selected) displayed on the post page.
I have tried :
– rebuilding the cache (several times)
– dropping the match threshold to 1 and then .05
– selecting "do not consider" for all except "consider: category"
[note: the ideal setting for this photo portfolio blog would be "require at least one category in common" and nothing else, where the common category is the photo category]
The text "No Related Photos" DOES appear at the end of each post – but there are at least 9 other posts/photos in each category, so those related posts should be displayed.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!badke
@mitchoyoshitaka, tried using 3.0.8b2, 3.0.8b4 and the latest stable version (updated through WP) — since I haven't tried anything in a few weeks.
Still having the same problem.
We have a firewall setup on our server, would there have been any changes that 3.0.6 made that could possibly be blocked by a firewall? Seems like a stretch, but figured I'd throw it out there. Like I mentioned originally, the plugin was working great before the upgrades.
Any suggestions for tests that could be run to see where the problem is? Anything I could look for the in the database to see if there's a problem there?badke
Looking at the tables in the database, yarpp_related_cache has reference_ID's, both has nothing but 0's for the ID and score.

Cornell student Hadiyah Chowdhury, who has been working with the ACT COE this summer, has a particular interest in how students from different cultures do or do not benefit from the sex education they receive in schools. Although her own high school sex ed was not evidence-based, we asked her to share her experiences of sexual health education in a small upstate city.
I was born and brought up in Corning NY, a town of approximately 40,000 people, 92% of whom are white. My parents immigrated to the United States as graduate students from Bangladesh in 1987. I grew up speaking fluent Bengali until the time came for me to go to school and I forgot all my Bengali. The specifics of my upbringing may not resonate with too many people, but I have a feeling that many people reading might be feeling a sense of familiarity. When I was 11 my family and I moved to Paris where we lived for three years before moving back to Corning. The culture shock I experienced when I moved back to the States at age 14 was confusing to say the least.
In order to get a sense of what I was feeling, it becomes necessary to understand Corning as a town. Corning is a company town, meaning that your parents either work for Corning Incorporated (a company that produces glass) or they do not. The rich and poor of Corning, New York can be described as simply as that. This very visible and obvious distinction led to an extremely stratified high school experience: you had the honor's kids on one hand, who only took AP classes and whose parents exclusively worked for Corning, and the regents kids (or "dirts" as they were called by some) whose parents did not. Because of this distinction, I pretty much cycled through the same group of 15-20 kids in all of my classes in high school. The only exceptions to this rule were PE and health class.
My health class had a total of seven students, only three of which I had interacted with before. As was the case in most of my other classes, I was not only the only South Asian person in the class, but also the only person of color. I remember being apprehensive of the class (as many teenagers are) not only because I thought some of the discussions in the class would be uncomfortable, but also because I didn't know how my thoughts and ideas would be perceived by others based on the color of my skin. See, the problem was not that my parents were conservative when it came to sex, the problem was that I was not. Despite my apprehension, I found health class to be a place where I could express my thoughts about relationships, sex, and health more generally in a fairly intimate way. I remember my teacher had us sit on the floor in a circle and led us into rather unstructured, facilitated discussions. This method worked well because of the small class size and the way the instructor facilitated conversation between us, even though we definitely disagreed about many of the topics she had us discuss. I never felt attacked because of my skin color or my more liberal opinions about relationships and sex. This was pleasantly surprising to me since I was uncomfortably aware that I was perceived as different by most people at school. Not a day went by that someone wouldn't make some comment about how my liberal opinion on some topic was no doubt due to the "chocolate" color of my skin. Health class was something of a refuge from these kinds of comments.
I must give credit to the instructor: she worked at a rape crisis center and a rehabilitation center for individuals addicted to meth and cocaine before coming to my high school. She obviously had to be able to manage rooms full of people from different backgrounds. She was easily able to contact Planned Parenthood to come and do two workshops for us, one on different forms of contraception and another on abusive relationships.
I looked forward to health class every day because I knew the instructor would handle disagreement well while also allowing us to be honest about our opinions. It was only when I came to college that I realized that this was not everyone else's sex ed experience. Many people had to deal with instructors who would slut-shame, or preach abstinence only to classrooms. Some people told me that they were terrified of engaging in sex for fear of becoming pregnant or getting an STI after going through sex ed in high school. Others told me they had no kind of sex ed at all in school. While sex ed wasn't perfect in Corning, I at least felt that I had access to useful resources. My health class focused on the mechanics of heterosexual, penetrative sex and tended to ignore topics around gender (specifically gender-non-conforming people) and attraction. However, since I felt that I knew where to go if I had questions, I think my sex ed ended up being quite comprehensive. In addition, my instructor made it clear that sex can be really emotionally or physically painful for some people, forcing me to conceptualize my ideas about sex in a different way. This class also became the beginnings of my interest in feminism and gender theory more broadly.
So in general, I am very grateful for the way health class was conducted in my rural, upstate high school and I recognize I was very lucky to have such a good instructor. The way she handled cultural differences in the classroom was respectful and allowed me to feel very comfortable while discussing topics that weren't necessarily very easy to talk about.

The Latex Ball, held this past Saturday at the crumbling Roseland Ballroom, was everything—yet it fell short. It was all that a Ball could be, but for me it was defined more by what was missing than what actually occurred. It began as all Balls do, just a little later than you can stand but as it commenced and lived, the drama and the performances were breathtaking.
To the newbies who tagged along with me, it was Nirvana, a realization of a world only glimpsed at in a Malcolm McLaren or Madonna video, or in Jennie Livingston's 1990 documentary, Paris Is Burning.
Jennie came to The Latex Ball and said a few words. She also produced a very excellent tribute to Paris Dupree, who was the last of the "great mothers" of the Houses of the Ballroom community. Paris Dupree was missing Saturday night. Her passing and the passing of so many others this year and in recent years set a sad tone at the usually happy gathering. The short documentary captured the essence of a legend. Her attitude for the ages underscored the meaning of the whole affair. The Latex Ball is sponsored by GMHC and besides the competitions and awards and performances, they provided education about AIDS and HIV, free on-premise testing and, as far as I can tell, handed out about a million condoms to participants.
The world I live in seems to be becoming less aware of AIDS and HIV as if it were a disease that those "other" people get. It can't affect me because I'm white, or I can't get it because I'm older and haven't gotten it yet, and I can't get it because I'm straight or safe most of the time, are some of the many misconceptions we as a community have accepted. I think after decades of the crisis taking a toll on our world, we have relegated the problem to the dark corners of our consciousness and tune out the billboards and TV commercials there to help us understand. Although aggressive treatments have made survival a reality for most and living a good life possible, the stigmas and real dangers of HIV and AIDS still persist. At the Ball, speaker after speaker recounted the lost and pleaded with the audience to grasp this concept.
Missing at the Ball were the many groups of people I have seen there before. The Chelsea boys were not in the house, nor were the flamboyant crews that I'll call the Patricia Fields, Kenny Kenny and Susanne Bartsch crowd. Even the mainstream crowd, that over many years came in to peek, didn't show. The gathering was mostly Black and Hispanic and mostly young. It has almost always been this way but this Ball lacked the outsiders (one of which, I must have appeared to be). This happened despite a broader understanding and awareness of the House or Vogue Ball culture. Indeed, a lot was missing Saturday night but so much creativity and talent did attend. I saw some of you there and I hope you enjoyed it and discovered this universe of tradition and love that has always obsessed me. I attended my first ball in the early '80s and never wanted to miss another. I constantly annoy Ball community members about when the next one will occur. I will attend the KIKI Ball on October 28th. If you want to know more about this society and future Balls visit myballroomlife.com or the GMHC website.
I have lost hundreds of friends and a relative or three to the AIDS/HIV epidemic. The Ball was an important opportunity to educate young people as well as oldsters like myself on the continuing problem of the epidemic. The young Hispanic and African American crowd that were in attendance are at particular risk. I saw a statistic saying that although the African-American population represents about 10 to 13% of the American, population close to 50% of the people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS were African Americans. Although the mainstream American universe seems to be believe this scourge is something under control, the dangers still persist. Flyers and posters underscored the dangers of making bad sexual decisions while under the influence. It is true that many strains of the virus are being treated with increasing success but many individuals do not react well to treatment and the virus continues to evolve into prevention resistant strains. The Ball was sponsored by the GMHC who have always been there to support and educate. They continue to fight this good fight and deserve the recognition and our support.
The Ball was magical. The competitions were fierce and winners graciously took home their trophies and kissed and hugged those who fell short. We went through packs of throat lozenges as we screamed and jumped up and down with awe. We lived for the outfits, costumes, and ensembles. We gasped as "Voguers" leaped higher in the air than ever before. We teared up as the role of the missing and gone was recited. Someone scolded and shouted "Do not forget Willi Ninja!!!" when the list was recalled. How could Willi Ninja be forgotten? Time and numbers make us forget the unforgettable. Willi may not have invented "Vogueing," but he took it to an undeniable place. I adored him. He was gracious and intelligent and fun. When he was at the door of the Sound Factory Bar, or some other joint, I looked forward to chatting with him.
Many in the Ballroom community fought their way up from a very low place to find acceptance from the community and from themselves. The Houses provide refuge from a backward world and an opportunity to find out who they are and how to express themselves and make their mark. Leaving behind a legacy was a much discussed topic at the Ball. Names of icons, legends, and those who passed too early were recited on stage and talked about in the crowd. Paris Dupree was the last of the original five mothers of the modern Houses. She was preceded by Angie Xtravaganza, Pepper LaBeija, Avis Pendavis and Dorian Corey. Others spoke of Danielle Revlon, Catiria, Nicole Iman, Danny Xtravaganza and the recent passing of Leo Xtravaganza, Kevin Milan and so many more. With all that we have learned, people are still dying too young, too soon. It's easy to slip up, forget or risk just this once but if I took anything from the glorious 21st annual Latex Ball it was I want to see the 31st and the 41st Anniversary Ball. I pray for a time when we get to a point where GMHC isn't involved anymore because their mission has been accomplished. Have fun, play safe.

Martin House Brewing Company | Bubble Haze
In a crowded craft beer market, breweries are working harder than ever to catch the eye of the consumer walking down their local beer aisle. Breweries are investing in slick graphic design, updated branding and wild flavors. If the outside of the can isn't enough to make the beer stand out then perhaps what's inside might intrigue the consumer into a purchase.
Martin House Brewing Company is a commonly distributed craft beer within the Lone Star State. Named after the Purple Martin songbird native to North Texas, Martin House Brewing is located in Fort Worth. A city as large as The Metroplex deserves variety in its craft beers, and Martin House caters to this by offering eight year-round beers and a staggering 50 different seasonals. These seasonals are full of diverse and eye-catching flavors, like salsa verde herbed beer or barley wine. One of Martin House's more ambitious styles is the Bubble Haze, a milkshake style IPA with flavors of bubblegum. Before you start air gaging á la valley girl, let's look a little deeper into what makes this beer work.
A Milkshake IPA is a hop heavy Hazy IPA with lactose added to the brewing process. Often a dessert flavor might emerge like vanilla, or in this case bubble gum. The resulting beer will have a creamy mouthfeel without the thick consistency of a milkshake.

Bubble Haze 7.3% – Hazy Bubblegum Milkshake IPA. Bubble Haze was one of the first beers we ever brewed for The Riverside Lounge. Shout out to our Dallas sales rep @theartwaldo for creating this ingenious flavor combination of dank hops and sweet bubblegum flavor. Bubble Haze is on tap starting today in our taproom. 4pack deliveries begin tomorrow and last throughout the week. And as always, we will have the launch party on Thursday, where the first 300 people will get to keep this badass rocks glass. Cheers! #martinhouse #bubblehaze #bubblegum #milkshake #ipa
Bubble Haze is a 7.3% Hazy IPA. The beer smells like opening a bag of powdered sugar and brought back the memory of drinking electric blue Jones bubble gum soda in middle school. The first sip is harsh, a not-so-subtle reminder that this beer is over 7%. The beer quickly sweetens up and finishes with a distinct bubble gum flavor that manages to brighten the flavor of the beer, not overpower it.
If you find yourself having craft beer fatigue next time you walk down the beer aisle, take a chance at the quirkiest flavor you can find. It might be just what you need to (milk)shake you out of a rut.

I'm finally finished with it. It was really simple, it just took me a while to get it done. Here is our latest (and last I tell you … LAST!) chore "chart". I do ♥ it.
It's cute and simple. Each girl has a block with corresponding chore sticks - Lydia's is orange and Grace's is green. Each morning the girls' chore sticks are in their blocks on the left. As they complete a chore they move the chore stick to the big block on the right.
I can see right away if their chores are done. Simple, right? ♥ I got the idea from the How Does She? blog :) and I think it turned out great!

One of the sessions at the 2015 Wine Bloggers Conference was The Fizzyology of Lambrusco. Bill Whiting, Director of Wine Education for Banfi Vintners presented the wines and talked about the region of Italy. Lambrusco is a slightly sparkling red wine from the Emilia-Romagna area of Italy. Emilia-Romagna is sandwiched between Toscana to the south and Lombardia and Venito to the north. The Emilia-Romagna region of Italy is planted with 187,000 acres of grapes, and is lovingly referred to as Italy's stomach because of the great food and easy drinking wines that match the food.
The tasting focused on two wineries, one in Riunite and Albinea Canali and four wines made from a grape variety in the Lambrusco family. Lambrusco was a wild vine that became domesticated. Lambrusco wines have the polyphenols that help break down fat, and make these wine pair so well with the cheeses and meats from this region. In the Lambrusco family of grapes, there are13 different varieties. We tasted several of these varieties in the four wines featured during the presentation.
The first two wines were from Albinea Canali. The FB – Methodo Ancestral, IGT Albinea Canali was made with Lambrusco Corbara grapes. The dark pink colored wine was slightly effervescent and offered red berry fruits on the aroma and taste. This easy-to-drink wine paired well with the hard cheese offered during the tasting. The FB refers to "fermentation in bottle" an indication of the traditional method of making a sparkling wine.
The second wine from Albinea Canali was the Ottocentro Nero, IGT, Albinea Canali. This wine was a blend of Lambrusco Salamino, Lambrusco Grasparossa and a non-Lambrusco variety Lancellotta. This inky colored wine reminded me of black raspberries with a touch of fizz. It was very dry and crisp.
Two wines were tasted from the producer Riunite. Lambrusco Ros?, Cantine Riunite was a blend of Lambrusco Salamino and Lambrusco Marani. The pink colored wine was perfect to pair with a rocking chair on a porch. It offered floral and red berry fruit notes. During the tasting, the wine was matched with soft cheeses from the Emilia-Romagna region.
The Riunite Lambrusco, Cantine Riunite was a blend of Lambrusco Maestri, Lambrusco Marani, lambrusco Monteericco, Lambrusco Salamino and Lancellotta. The dark ruby colored wine had black berries and black cherries on the aroma and taste. It was slightly bubbly and paired well with the cheeses.
Bill did present one additional wine from Banfi. The Bell'Agio Lambrusco Emilia, IGT was blended with Lambrusco Grasparossa and Lambrusco Salamino. This black colored wine was slightly fizzy and was reminiscent of raspberries, both black and red. It matched well with the meats and cheeses.
The Lambrusco wines were slightly fizzy and had lower alcohols in the 6% to 9% range. They would make perfect afternoon wines to pair with fatty snacks when you need that afternoon "pick me up."

Plus size exercise equipment is designed to meet the weight support needs of the larger body. Exercise machines are constructed with stronger supports and connections. Inflatable exercise equipment have thicker sides and stronger seams. Equipment that requires seating, such as cycles, have wider seats that are securely attached to the equipment's frame. In general, lighter weight equipment can buckle and break, often causing injury.
Types of Plus Size Exercise Equipment
Fitness experts have identified several low impact, high-result pieces of exercise equipment for the larger exerciser. Here's a list of some of the most frequently recommended:
- Exercise Ball – Sitting on this big ball is great for balance and strengthening your core. Or, by laying face-down on the ball, you can elevate yourself off the floor while you lift arm weights.
- Water Aerobics Fitness Equipment – Foam dumbells provide a waterproof way to carry your weight training into the water. Noodles provide buoyancy to your body while you stretch and move other parts of your body in the water.
- Bike – Whether you choose a stationary exercise bike or an outside bicycle, be sure the bike is heavy duty construction with a comfortable, wide seat.
- Exercise Machines – Whether you work out in a gym or your home, with or without a trainer, check out the treadmill for walking and the elliptical for stepping. Both are great for aerobic exercising.
Facts about Plus Size Exercise Equipment
- Fitness equipment is designed for use up to a specific body weight. This ensures that the machine's construction remains solid and functional. Exercise equipment such as treadmills or upright exercise bikes designed for gym use might have a weight limit of 350 pounds. Other gym equipment, such as recumbent bikes, are typically designed for higher weight limits such as up to 500 pounds. Equipment designed for home use typically has a lower weight limit than equipment in a gym such as a maximum weight of 250 pounds.
- Exercise balls can hold from up to 200 to 500, depending on the construction of the ball.Typically, the larger the ball the larger the weight capacity.
For more information in plus size exercise equipment, check out one of the fitness books designed for the larger exerciser. Need more health & fitness info? Check out GrandStyle's recent plus size health & fitness posts.
Before starting any exercise program, be sure to check with your doctor. Your doctor may suggest a variety of exercise including swimming, walking and exercise equipment.

Brandon Stockdale is hopeful his first metropolitan double is the catalyst he needs to take his career to the next level.
Stockdale began riding around the same time as fellow apprentices Beau Mertens, Ben Allen and Ben Thompson but is the only one of the four left with a 3kg city claim.
He landed his first city winner aboard Oncebittentwiceshy at Sandown in April 2015 but had to wait until last Saturday at Moonee Valley for his first city double, and his 15th winner in town.
The apprentice has landed six rides at Flemington on Saturday as he looks to boost his tally.
It hasn't been smooth sailing for Stockdale.
He fell from Oncebittentwiceshy at Mornington in April last year suffering a broken shoulder blade which was the least of his problems.
"The fall knocked me around a bit," Stockdale said.
"I was knocked out for five minutes and when they got to me I wasn't breathing.
"I fractured my shoulder blade in the fall. I remember waking up in hospital but I don't remember the fall.
"When I went home I remember the first morning waking up with a migraine.
"I spent a few days at home and then I ended back in hospital as I apparently was talking to my cousin but saying some crazy things and feeling dizzy."
Then there was a hip problem earlier this year which again sidelined the 18-year-old but which is well and truly behind him.
Now it's time to settle down and ride some winners utilising his claim while he's looking forward to potentially riding for Darren Weir in coming weeks.
"I've only had two rides for Weiry before, so coming into winter with the claim and a few of the other boys nearly outriding their claims it might be a good winter," he said.
Two of Stockdale's rides on Saturday are the unbeaten Wilde Gem in the Barwon South West Region Handicap and Tasmanian Step The Pedal who is out to extend her winning streak to six in the Loddon Mallee Region Handicap.
"I haven't sat on Wilde Gem but he looks a nice horse," Stockdale said.
"It looks a strong race but he's had two starts for two wins.
"Step The Pedal is a consistent horse and never far from the money.
"She should be around the money."

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un crossed the border into South Korea for the first time on Friday (April 27), where he was greeted by the South's president, Moon Jae-in ahead of the two Koreas' first summit in more than a decade.
The two leaders smiled and shook hands after which Kim Jong Un gestured to Moon they cross over to NorthKorea briefly, which they did for a few steps, then returned to the South, holding hands.
Kim was handed a flower bouquet by a South Korean boy and girl, residents of a village situated in the demilitarised zone.
The pair were met on a red carpet by a South Korean honour guard in historical costumes and playing traditional music.
Kim and Moon then walked into the Peace House, venue of the summit, where Kim signed a guest visitor book, writing "New history starts now; age of peace, from the starting point of history". (Reuters)

Plymouth, MA
Phil May and Andrea Twigg
Fri 2 Aug 2013 23:42
Our cruising guide says that moorings at Plymouth are on a first come first served basis, but that the author had never had a problem finding one. Arriving at 6pm, we called everyone who provides moorings but there was no space available. We found a couple of unused moorings at the outer entrance to the harbour and called up the harbourmaster to ask if we could pick one up. He said Anastasia was too big for those moorings. He asked us to wait a while and eventually allocated "Mario's mooring" to us, which is right inside the harbour, in the middle of the fishing fleet.
So here we are, once again a swan amongst ducklings at the heart of Plymouth harbour. To cap it all, the harbourmaster said they can't charge us for the mooring because it is a private one. We fell on our feet once more.
We spent the day looking around historic Plymouth (with Andrea spending all the money we saved on the mooring ball). The only downside was that the Mayflower replica is in dry dock for repairs, so we could not look around it.
Is this mooring ball number 1620?
