Tesla unveiled its latest car, called the Model Y, at a launch event in Los Angeles on Thursday evening.
Based on the same platform as the best-selling Model 3, the Model Y is a compact SUV which is taller than its sibling but smaller than Tesla's other SUV, the Model X.
Although Tesla hasn't revealed everything about the Model Y - we don't know its exact dimensions, for example - we know enough to compare its vital statistics to the Model 3.

The Tesla Model 3 (left) and new Model Y (right)Tesla
Here's how the two latest Tesla cars shape up:
Tesla Model Y vs Model 3: Price
The Model 3 starts at $35,000 for the entry-level Standard Range version. This is followed by the $37,000 Standard Range Plus. Above this, Tesla offers the $40,000 Mid Range and the $43,000 Long Range.
The above cars all have a single electric motor driving the rear wheels. Above these, Tesla offers dual-motor versions of the Model 3 which have all-wheel-drive. This configuration is offered on two models, the $47,000 Long range and the $58,000 Performance.
The Model 3 is priced from $35,000Tesla
All of these prices are the cash value before discounts and incentives. The prices also ignore any potential cost savings when the price of electricity is compared to gasoline or diesel. Tesla chooses to promote the post-cost-saving figures on its website, which regulators recently branded as misleading.
Now for the Model Y, which Tesla says will eventually start at $39,000 for the Standard Range version. However, while all other versions are due to go into production in late-2020, the cheapest Model Y will arrive later, sometime in earl-2021. Tesla took a similar route with the Model 3, which was announced back in 2016 but only hit the promised $35,000 price in 2019.
Above the entry-level Model Y, which cannot yet be ordered, Tesla offers the single-motor, rear-wheel-drive Long Range for $47,000 ($4,000 more than the equivalent Model 3).
After this, there are two Model Ys with all-wheel-drive; these are the $51,000 Long Range and the $60,000 Performance.
These prices do not include any optional extras, such as Autopilot, premium paint colors (like metallic blue and red), or the Model Y's seven-seat option, which adds two more seats for $3,000.
Tesla Model Y vs Model 3: Range
The Model Y is built on the same platform as the Model 3, but is tallerTesla
As with all Teslas, the more you pay, the longer the car can be driven before needing to charge its battery pack.
Tesla quotes its range stats in the US using an estimate linked to the EPA test cycle. Other test cycles are used in different countries, and it is always worth bearing in mind that your range will vary depending on your driving style, the route you drive, your use of the climate system and heated seats, and the ambient temperature, with cold weather reducing range.
For the entry-level Model 3 Standard Range, Tesla quotes an estimated range of 220 miles. The Standard Range Plus increases this to 240 miles, while the Mid Range manages 264 miles, and the Long Range offers 325 miles.
The Model 3 is Tesla's most popular car to dateTesla
Range takes a dip for the all-wheel-drive versions, with both the Long Range and Performance giving an estimated 310 miles.
It's a similar story with the Model Y. The Standard Range manages 230 miles (curiously 10 more than the Model 3, despite the extra size and weight), and the Long Range is good for a claimed 300 miles.
The Dual Motor AWD and Performance versions of the Model Y can both achieve 280 miles.
Tesla Model Y vs Model 3: Performance
Elon Musk claims the Model Y could out-sell the Model 3, S and X combinedTesla
The top speed of the Model 3 is 130 mph for the Standard Range, 140 mph for the Standard Range Plus, Mid Range and Long Range, then 145 mph for the Dual Motor Long Range, and 162 mph for the range-topping Performance variant.
The numbers are similar with the Model Y, which starts at 120 mph for the Standard Range, then jumps to 130 mph for the Long Range, 135 mph for the Dual Motor AWD, and 150 mph for the Performance.
Finally, the 0-60 mph times - something Tesla is always particularly proud of - are similar on the two cars, with the smaller and lighter Model 3 accelerating slightly more quickly.
The Model 3 starts at 5.6s for the Standard Range. This drops to 5.3s for the Standard Range Plus, then 5.2s for the Mid Range and 5.0s for the Long Range. Ticking the all-wheel-drive box on your order form makes a big difference to acceleration, with times falling to 4.5s for the AWD Long Range and a supercar-bothering 3.2s for the Model 3 Performance.
The same 0-60 mph acceleration sprint is completed by the heavier Model Y in 5.9s for the Standard Range. This then falls to 5.5s for the Long Range, 4.8s for the Dual Motor AWD, and 3.5s for the Performance.

You will by now, have been putting onto practice our first five time management tips to help you become more productive. Well here are some more to let you take it up a level!
1. Don't procrastinate
It's easy to put off tasks you have. Avoid letting things slide and do not procrastinate or put things off. Often we mull a task over and over, putting it off, and the task sometimes grows arms and legs! Don't delay just do it.
2. Schedule time for yourself
In your diary make sure you book a slot for your own time, to ensure you get time to plan and prepare for other meetings and tasks. In addition book in regular 'admin days' to catch up on expenses, reports, and planning time. Make sure this is booked out in your electronic diary too!
3. Adopt a 'do not disturb' system with colleagues
We are often interrupted unnecessarily when our colleagues see us at a desk. Mistakenly they think that now is the right time to chat and catch up on the latest goss! When actually you have preparation for a meeting to complete. Agree a system (don't just do on own accord) with your colleagues for example a makeshift 'do not disturb sign' giving a 30 minute 'do not disturb' period. We've seen this work really well when agreed across the team.
4. Create objective driven agendas
When holding a meeting send out an agenda with objectives on to ensure the sessions are most meaningful. If the session does not have a clear objective then it should not be part of the meeting. This dramatically cuts down the amount of wasted time spent in meetings.
5. Daily clear down
At the start (or end of each day) have a daily clear down of those tasks that keep rolling over. Build this into each day, short timed spells to get things done. Set a target, for example 'in 20 minutes I will read and action all emails in my inbox' or 'I will have completed my expenses in by 850am' The shorter the better to build in more energy.
Here's even more time management tips for you, if you've got time!!even more Time Management Tips

Have known Kris for nearly 40 years. Was her boss for some of the time, if anyone could ever be her boss.
She was wonderful and caring, and always a ton of fun too.
Glad she called me a few months ago.
She is missed.
June 08, 2018 3:31PM
I am so sorry to hear of the your loss. Death is truly an enemy. (1 Cor 15:26) However, this verse contains the hope that we all look forward to when this enemy "will be brought to nothing." Until that time, be assured that your pain is shared by many, including God, who makes the promise to "swallow up death in victory". (Isaiah 25:8) May this hope comfort you in your time of grief.

Most sisters grow up together and share scraped knees, clothes, tears, music and everything else. Kris and I didn't grow up together. We met when I was 21 and she was 29....long story
Even though we grew up in different homes, we were the same in many ways...both of us were awesome dancers, we both made people laugh and we could tell stories till the cows came home. When we first met, she flew up to Santa Cruz from N. Hollywood and took me over to her Mother's house to meet the woman who had given me up for adoption. Kris was always very "outspoken" and assertive. LOL
We shared photos of each other growing up and we looked so much alike at different ages. We had gone to the same Junior and High Schools and some teachers had even asked me if I had an older sister. As far as I had known until 1976, I was the older sister in my family.
So many memories of crazy things we did together in those early days and years. She is probably the only person who could embarrass me and she did many, many times.
We were close in the early years then we grew apart with jobs and moves to other States. We stayed in touch but never had that same initial connection.
When Kris moved to Texas to be closer to her daughter and granddaughter I had mixed feelings. Somehow over the years she had changed her political views and for every endorsement for her party, I had just the opposite view. As much as I would protest that we weren't alike, we were more alike than not.
I wish I had spent more time with her, listening to her stories..God knows she lived a very interesting life and drug me into some interesting situations. Every Christmas she would call with her demented Santa and on Thanksgiving she would do the crazy turkey.
Kris, you will be missed. I told you while you were in the hospital that I would be here for Alycia and Jaida and I will do whatever I can for them. Rest in peace and please don't do anything to get 86'd from Heaven. I a proud to be your sister.

The movie biz, like almost everything else, more or less closed down for the holiday weekend last week, so don't expect a lot of big news in this here roundup—unless you're a fan of 20th Century Fox's X-Men franchise, because that has been oddly active in the past few days. But we'll chalk that up to Wolverine coming from Canada, and therefore observing a different Thanksgiving holiday altogether. (What other reason could there be?) Here are the highlights of the last seven days' worth of superhero movie news.
SUPER IDEA: Logan Being the Cinematic Send-Off Wolverine Deserves
In case the trailer for Logan didn't make it clear that Hugh Jackman's final outing as Wolverine was going to be a different kind of superhero movie, Empire talked to the actor, as well as Logan director James Mangold to make it clear. "We made an effort to scale back on the gloss and greenscreen," Mangold said about the look of the movie, while Jackman added that it was "essential [that fans] see this as the story of a man who is struggling with mortality and legacy… and whether the world has been better off with him or without him." What are the odds that things really aren't going to end well for Wolverine when the movie's released next year?
Why this is super: Everything that comes out about this movie makes it seem like a good Wolverine movie, which is a little surprising considering how over-used the character has become onscreen. Could Jackman's last appearance as the hairy, clawed hero end up being his best?
SUPER IDEA: Valiant Comics Continuing Their Journey to the Big Screen
It's been a while since there's been an official update on Sony's attempts to bring the Valiant Comics universe to the big screen, but The Wrap talked to screenwriter Eric Heisserer and got some good news. "I believe Harbinger is out on the director version of Tinder, trying to find a match," Heisserer said, referring to the adaptation of Valiant's comic about teen runaways with psychic powers. "We're trying to find the right filmmaker for that project, but I'm pretty excited about that." When it comes to nanite-powered super soldier Bloodshot, meanwhile, Heisserer said that he was "right now staring at a revised draft of Bloodshot; that's what I am working on today."
Why this is super: Without directors or cast, it's probably too early to get fully excited about either of these properties hitting theaters, but there's a lot of potential to be mined from the source comics—especially from Harbinger, which plays out like a contemporary X-Men with more attitude. Don't mess this up, Hollywood.
SUPER IDEA: Spider-Man Serving Face
Apparently, even movie stars are a little weirded out by the moviemaking process these days. During filming for Spider-Man: Homecoming, Tom Holland—Spidey himself—had to do some facial-capture work and, as this Instagram post from director Jon Watts shows, found it as weird as it looks to everyone else.
Why this is super: First off, watching Holland react to something that isn't even happening is quite amusing. Second, knowing that he's a little embarrassed about it makes us like him even more. Will his Spider-Man be that same mix of humble but ready to do whatever it takes to get the job done? If so, then they've got it note perfect.
SUPER IDEA: Fox Releasing More Marvel Movies
Fox is remaining firmly in the Marvel business, announcing the dates for two mystery Marvel movies last week: one will be released November 2, 2018, with another on Valentine's Day, 2019. Presumably both will come from the studio's X-Men movie license; we know that New Mutants, Deadpool 2, Gambit, and even X-Force are all in different stages of development, so take your pick… although it's worth noting that the February slot was where the first Deadpool was slotted. (But would Fox really wait three years for a follow-up? Or is that for Deadpool 3?)
Why this is super: Considering just recently there were concerns about whether Fox had the juice to keep its Marvel movies going, this news can only be seen as a sign that, basically, the haters can go suck it. Now all we need is to know what movies will take these slots.
SUPER IDEA: Deadpool Getting Some New Underpants
Speaking of Deadpool, the Merc with the Mouth returned to answer some questions about 2016 (thanks to Ryan Reynolds, who apparently likes to do improv as his masked alter ego) as part of a year-end edition of Empire magazine. None of the answers should be taken too seriously, of course, but it does raise the possibility of getting some "tasteful underwear" into 'Pool's costume for the second installment. Well, it's not like Superman's using that look right now, is it?
Why this is super: All year, the life of Deadpool outside his movie, in whatever promotional capacity Fox has used the character, has been fun to see. Watching it continue even when there's no movie to promote is even better, and a good way to keep him in the audience's mind until the next feature is ready.

Modern challenges call for a modern approach. Many regions of the world face increasingly complex threats to their stability, safety and security. Decision makers need access to reliable, timely and accurate intelligence on the local area, the threats, their locations and their intentions, providing the complete operational picture.
The Current Situation
Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) is crucial in the execution of defence and security operations. But with the current assets that provide surveillance, coverage is often intermittent due to limited platform endurance, reducing the availability of sensors on station. In addition, the demands of modern operations require multi-spectral information in multiple locations: airborne intelligence demand assets beyond the affordability of even the largest acquisition, sustainment and operating budgets.
Over time adversaries learn and become aware of these limitations. It's clear a solution is needed to stop them from avoiding detection and gaining the element of surprise.
A Modern Solution
Persistent surveillance is the ideal solution. Patterns of Life can be established and understood with a richness and depth before, during and after an operation, ensuring nuances of information, anomalies and latent threats are not missed.
To support an effective operation, persistent surveillance needs to be multi-spectral and have the ability to provide real-time actionable intelligence to those on the ground. This increases forces understanding about the total environment, enabling them to discriminate, track and respond to potential targets and threats. With true persistence there is no break in contact, enabling faster and more coherent decision making at all levels of command.
Imagine a sensing, processing, command and control node in the sky at your chosen location 24 hours a day, providing constant wide area coverage, transforming multi-spectral data into disseminated, actionable intelligence.
Hybrid aircraft, like Airlander, have unique capabilities that enable exactly this type of long-endurance operation. Airlander 10 can host a three-tonne multi-sensor mission payload on station for up to five days. It has space to host multiple, large-aperture sensors on a single platform. Airlander 10 is inherently persistent in its nature, providing sensor-on-station capacity beyond the reach of other aircraft enabling multi-sensor persistent surveillance at affordable mission costs.
Airlander can be equipped with the storage and processing power to allow exploitation and first line analysis to take place on board so that actionable intelligence reports can be disseminated from the platform directly, and delivered to the ground. Enhancing processing, exploitation and dissemination with on-board capabilities minimises the chain from detection to action.
This also leads to a reduced need for large off-board specialist Processing, Exploitation & Dissemination (PED) cells, minimising resource and manpower demands on the force. It also reduces the need for expensive and spectrum-intensive wide-band communication data links. Actionable insights rather than raw data are exported.
Airlander eliminates the need to employ multiple ISR aircraft each equipped with one or two sensors or systems. With a multi-sensor payload incorporating sensor packages up to the sizes typically hosted on large business jets, Airlander is able to collect long and short range multi-spectral imagery, using immediate cross-cue from the platform's other sensors, all aboard one platform, and stay with surface forces for the duration of the operation.
With multiple sensors comes operational resilience. Imagine the common scenario of a lost Ground Moving Target Indicator plot. Airlander's on-board operator can immediately task a co-hosted long-range imaging multi-spectral camera to provide an almost continuous imagery of the target. Airlander provides the advantage as persistent data is collected without having to depend on off-ship sensors or fusion systems to supply information.
Surveying a border, monitoring an EEZ or protecting ground forces, Airlander 10 can provide persistent, unbroken, multi-sensor intelligence available on demand at a scale that is not affordable with the current generation of air platforms. If you would like to know more about how Airlander can optimise operational performance get in contact here. Or explore Airlander's defence and security capabilities in more depth here.

Work continues to consume too much of my time. And now that the day job has implemented a full Websense installation, I can't really do much on here, while I'm there.
On the home front, L was put on a different heart med, which is not helping. He's been experiencing a lot more chest pain and rapid heart rate since the switch. In fact, he thought he was having a heart attack the other day.
Mom is doing ok, but still has periods of depression. I know she would prefer if I moved back in with her. I'm not sure I would survive.
Not much else has been going on. Although, I will make one comment....
I would never have pictured the Devil as being a dirty, slut-pig bottom, but after watching "Heaven To Hell", that's pretty much the only way describe it.

First pic of tragic Ryanair pilot found dead in an airport car park is believed to have killed himself hours before scheduled flight
Captain Jouke Schrale had flown with the Irish budget airline for ten years and his colleagues are said to be 'in shock' over the tragedy
THIS is the first picture of Ryanair pilot Jouke Schrale who is believed to have killed himself after being found dead in an airport car park.
Captain Schrale, 45, known to pals as Jake, failed to report for duty on a routine short-haul flight from Malaga in southern Spain.
Friday's 8.30am departure from Malaga to Brussels finally took off hours later after a replacement pilot was scrambled.
Capt Schrale was found dead in his vehicle in a staff car park.
The Sun Online spoke to two of the pilot's cousins and a member of his golf club to confirm the identity of the man in the picture.
A source said: "He'd never missed a flight in 15 years and so people knew something must be wrong."
A Ryanair spokesman said: "We are saddened by the sudden death of Captain Jouke Schrale, and his colleagues in Malaga are in deep shock at this personal tragedy.
"We offer our deepest sympathy to his family and friends and are providing all possible support.
"We are respecting the family's call for privacy at this difficult time."
TO CATCH A CHEATFurious wife beats and strips her husband's suspected mistress in the street - but crowd does nothing
Capt Schrale flew with the Irish budget airline for ten years.
The Dutchman lived with Belgian partner Jessica in Mijas, Spain.
Ryanair pilots and cabin crew across Europe have recently been on strike over working conditions.

By Beltha Mokube – Monday March 18, 2019.
A top United States envoy who is visiting Cameroon, a Central African country wrapped in an armed conflict at the behest of Donald Trump, United States President has also held talks with Cameroon's Minister of External Relations, Lejeune Mbella Mbella, National Telegraph has learned.
The Assistant Secretary for African Affairs, Tibor Nagy, met with Mbella at the Ministry's official office in Yaounde, Cameroon's capital on Monday March 18, 2019, accompanied by Peter Henry Barlerin, the U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Cameroon a source has confirmed to National Telegraph.
The two diplomats talked about bilateral relationship between the two countries, the arrest of Prof Maurice Kamto and the deteriorating armed conflict in the North West and South West Regions of the country, a source told National Telegraph.
"Foreign Minister Mbella Mbella and I had a constructive discussion today on areas of cooperation. I highlighted my concerns about the arrest of Kamto and others, encouraging #Cameroonto ensure due process, peaceful assembly, and freedom of speech, Tibor Nagy tweeted.
Prof Maurice Kamto, Chair of Cameroon's main opposition political party, Cameroon Renaissance Movement (CRM) has been officially charged on eight (8) counts including facing a death penalty after he competed in the Cameroon's Presidential Elections and went on to declare he won.
He later challenged the results at the country's Constitutional Council where the Council's ruling was considered by many Cameroonians as jaundiced and then called for a peaceful protest that the regime would later say he violated the law.
Tibor Nagy also met with Paul Biya, President of Cameroon at the Unity Palace, the official residence and offices of the Cameroonian President on Monday March 18, 2019, accompanied by Peter Henry Barlerin, the U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Cameroon.
The two officials according to our source, discussed trade and bilateral relationship between Washington and Yaounde. Also top on the agenda was the political situation in the French-speaking regions and the deteriorating armed conflict in the English-speaking Regions of Cameroon. Tibor also noted he was impressed with President Biya's knowledge and wisdom.
Tibor Nagy arrived the Central African country of Cameroon on Saturday March 16, 2019 and held a first meeting with the American Chamber of Commerce in Douala on Sunday March 17, 2019 to discuss how to increase trade and investment between the United States and Cameroon, the US Embassy in Cameroon said in a statement.
The Assistant Secretary for African Affairs also visited Crelicam, an Ebony Processor owned by American guitar maker Taylor Guitars. The diplomat is expected to end his visit to Cameroon, Tuesday March 19, 2019 with high level talks with the US Ambassador to Cameroon and other US Embassy staff in Yaounde, Cameroon's capital.

From Fatima Jinnah to Michelle Obama this world is full of wonder women. Some are performing house chores and others are conquering societal stereotypes. It won't be wrong to say that women are the backbone of our country's progress.
8 March, International Women day. This day is not only about all the women who are in limelight but this is the day for each woman who is silently playing role in settling other women's crown. Woman who is selling handcrafted scarfs on the roadside is equally important to the women who are sitting in a multinational company as a Project head.
In Pakistan, during the past few years women are rising and shining like a pro. We can hardly find any field in which women are not playing a role.
Despite the conservative environment, here are some real gems of Pakistan that had already made us proud in the whole world.
Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy.
A female creative producer that has achieved 2 Oscar academic awards for her tremendous work from Pakistan. This Karachi born producer with fine storytelling and production skills created her ways with nonstop struggle. Her motto is to empower women of Pakistan so that they can stand on their own feet for a better future.
Ayesha Farooq.
Ayesha is from Bahawalpur and the first fighter pilot in Pakistan Air Force. This is something really big because we girls are not born strong but our nurturing can made us so. Similarly, Ayesha's mother raised her to be a strong and fearless woman. She is the proud sister of Pakistan.
Muniba Mazari.
If your mind is disabled, you are disabled. But if you are a person like Muniba Mazari then impossible is a world unknown for you. She lost her walking ability in a car accident. But she never loses hope. Now she is a motivational speaker, artist, and National Ambassador for UN women Pakistan. She is truly an inspiration.
Samina Baig.
She is the first mountaineer to climb all seven highest peaks around the world. She did so in just the age of 23. BRAVO!! Climbing and hiking mountains are not an easy task. Though samina with her endless passion achieved this at a very early age.
Jahan Ara.
She is a well-known name in Pakistan's technology industry. She is the president of one largest Tech association named as P@SHA. She is notably working for young entrepreneurs and startups. She is specifically encouraging women in the Technology industry.
There are hundreds and thousands of women that are playing role in the progress of Pakistan and we salute all of them.
On this international women's day just a look at what the world is saying about this.
Women are on the front-line of fighting hunger. On tomorrow's #WomensDay, join us in honoring all women & girls and their amazing potential to feed the world. 🌍🌾#InternationalWomensDay 💪 pic.twitter.com/PpKcEijIZg

In Spain too, the grapes intended for production of Cava are carefully selected and harvested. The best grapes for making Cava are grown on very chalky soil at a height of between 656-1,476 feet (200-450 metres).
The following grapes are used for the base wine: Macabeo (fruit and freshness), Parellada (floral perfumes) and Xarel-lo (acidity and alcohol). Sometimes a little Chardonnay is also added. For Cava Rosado the grapes used are Carifiena, Garnacha Tinto (Grenache Noir), Tempranillo, and Monastrell. Inland Cavas are usually made from Viura (Macabeo) grapes. Because it can become extremely hot in Spain the grapes for Cava are usually picked early in the morning. This Spanish grapes are pressed as soon as they are brought in from the vineyards.
The juices are transferred to stainless steel tanks where fermentation takes place at a constantly controlled low temperature. After fermentation the wine is rested for a while before being sampled by the cellar master. The best cuvees are selected and blending takes place in great secrecy. This Spanish wine is then bottled and held in enormous cellars for a minimum of nine months but often for longer. During this period a second fermentation takes place in the bottle. Just as with Champagne, Saumur, or Limoux lots of tiny bubbles form.
The bottles, which are stored on racks or rotating pallets, are manually or mechanically shaken to get the floating remnants of unfermented sugars and dead yeast cells to fall to the neck of the bottle. Here too the neck of the bottle is dipped into a special salt solution to freeze the sediment. When the bottle is opened the plug of sediment is forced out of the bottle by the pressure. The wine, which is now clear, is topped up with a liqueur (see main section on sparkling wines) and provided with a cork and retaining wires and cap. The wine is now ready to be shipped to the customers.
More than 90% of all Cava originates from Catalonia, particularly from Penedes. Two major companies control about 90% of the market. Freixenet (which also owns Segura Viudas and Castell Blanch) is the undoubted leader of the export market.
The true market leader though in Spain is Codorniu. Cavas are generally somewhat less dry than French sparkling wines. They have that little bit of Spanish temperament. The price of the top quality Cavas is exceptionally low for their quality but one needs to be careful. Corners are sometimes cut, especially with the nine month 's period of maturing in the bottle.
There have been cases for many years against brands which do not stick to the minimum nine months and whose wine is therefore not permitted to be termed Cava.There are officially only two different types of Cava: white and pink. The white Cava though is subdivided into a variety of different taste types.

The north west
The following autonomies or areas are found in north-western Spain: Galicia, the Pals Vasco, Castilla y Leon, Asturias, and Cantabria. The latter two of these autonomies only produce vinos de mesa. The other areas can be split into their DO wine-growing areas.
The climate of north west Spain is clearly influenced by the Bay of Biscay and the Atlantic Ocean. The weather is much cooler, wetter, and more windy than the rest of the country. Daily life is clearly marked by the sea and fishing.
This part of Spain is less typically Spanish, having more Celtic and Basque characteristics with little sign of the Castilian and Moorish invasion. The local dishes are inspired by the sea's harvest: fish and other seafood. The local Spanish wine is generally white, dry, fresh, and light, with the exception of a few red wines.
The total area of Spanish vineyards is in the region of 1.2 milion hectares. That is enormous and about 300,000 hectates larger than either the France or Italian wine-growing areas.
Yet less wine is produced than in either of the other two countries, at approximately 35,5 milion hectolitres, a vast 20 milion hectolitres less than France or Italy.
The difference in production volumes in partly accounted for by the large proportion of Denominación de Origen wine. Spain produces relatively smaller volumes of vino de la tierra (country wine or vin de pays) than France or Italy.
The majority of Spanich wines originates from Catalonia, Valencia, and La Mancha. Regions such as La Rioja, Aragon, Levante, and Andalucia produce quality wine in much lower volume.

On 8 June 2017, Advocate-General Tanchev of the CJEU delivered his Opinion in the case of Mr C. King v The Sash Window Workshop Ltd & Richard Dollar (Case C‑214/16) following a request for a preliminary ruling from the Court of Appeal.
The Advocate-General has largely supported the submissions made at the hearing on 29 March 2017 on behalf of Mr King, the worker in this case, and those made by the European Commission.
The Opinion provides that it should not be for a worker, who has been denied paid leave, to have to take their entitlement to leave and then take legal action in order to receive pay for that leave. The Advocate-General's view, from an analysis of EU legislation and precedents, is that there should be no "pre-condition" to a worker being able to exercise their right to paid leave and the Working Time Regulations are incompatible with EU law in this regard, and in particular the principle of an effective remedy.
Further, a worker should be able to carry forward leave entitlement (without limitation in time) during any period when there is no "facility" provided by the employer for the worker to exercise paid leave, even where this means, as in Mr King's case, possible carry-over of annual leave between 1999 and 2012.
The Advocate-General's view is that workers are entitled to claim backdated holiday pay for untaken leave entitlement (or unpaid leave) as a payment in lieu upon termination, noting that this should not open up an opportunity for workers to "accumulate payment in lieu of leave" because once the employer provides an adequate facility for the worker to exercise their right to paid annual leave, the worker becomes responsible for taking it up in the appropriate leave period.
Relevance in the Gig Economy:
The Advocate-General has noted the "acute social importance" of the issues in Mr King's case, given the prevalence in the so-called gig economy of what were once atypical working patterns.
Although not binding, the duty of the Advocate-General is to make submissions to the European Court, following the hearing, to provide guidance to the Court in relation to its decision. Prudent employers will want to consider the employment status of their workforce, assess the risk and potential cost of backdated holiday pay claims and ensure that their workers, as well as employees, have a "facility" for the exercise of their right to paid annual leave, without having to resort to costly legal action in order to enforce that right.
James Williams, barrister at Henderson Chambers who represents Mr King has commented:
"If the Advocate-General's opinion is followed by the Court it will have profound consequences for many businesses with workforces of uncertain or marginal employment status. A worker may now be able to wait until the end of his or her employment before challenging any failure by the employer to offer paid leave. Employers could face a large number of such claims, since a worker should no longer need to risk his job to bring it. The Advocate-General was at pains to emphasise the fundamental importance of the right to paid annual leave for workers (a right contained in the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights), and that without the possibility of a payment in lieu on termination for untaken leave the worker would lose "all enjoyment" of the right".
Mr King is represented in the CJEU and Court of Appeal by James Williams of Henderson Chambers (instructed by Clare Gilroy-Scott of Goodman Derrick LLP)
The problem to hand is of acute social importance, given the increasing number of people across the European Union who work on flexible, casual, and intermittent bases. These forms of employment are becoming ever more prevalent because of the provision of services via digital technologies in the age of the internet. Who should bear the risk of non-compliance with the right to paid annual leave when there is no facility in the employment relationship for its exercise, the employer or the workers concerned? Is it compatible with the EU right to paid annual leave for Member State law to first oblige a worker to take leave, before being able to ascertain if the leave will be paid?

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 pinch of cayenne (optional)

This turkey pie is easy, and it's a great way to use leftover meat. The recipe can be made even easier with purchased gravy and a ready-made pie crust sheet. Or use the buttery homemade crust included in the recipe.
This is a nice meal to make ahead, too. Make the turkey filling the day before and refrigerate it until baking time. Just top it off with the prepared sheet of pie pastry and bake. You can use an egg white wash and sesame seeds on the turkey pie or, for a softer crust with deeper color, make the egg wash with a whole egg and 1 tablespoon of water.
Click Play to See This Leftover Turkey Pot Pie Recipe Come Together
- For the Filling
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 1 cup mushrooms (coarsely chopped)
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf sage
- 1/4 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 1/2 cups turkey gravy (homemade or purchased)
- 1/3 cup water (turkey broth or chicken broth)
- 1/3 cup heavy cream (or light cream)
- 3 cups cooked turkey (diced)
- 2 to 2 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots (or mixed vegetables, thawed in a colander under hot running water)
- Salt (to taste)
- For the Pie Crust
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons chilled butter (cut into pieces)
- 2 tablespoons shortening (cut into pieces)
- 4 to 6 tablespoons water (ice cold)
- For the Egg Wash
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- Optional: sesame seeds
Steps to Make It
Note: while there are multiple steps to this recipe, this turkey pot pie is broken down into workable categories to help you better plan for preparation and cooking.
Make the Filling
Gather the ingredients.
Lightly spray a pie dish or 1 1/2-quart shallow casserole with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and cook, stirring, until onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender and browned.
Stir in the 4 tablespoons of flour, the sage, thyme, and pepper. Cook, stirring until the flour is incorporated and the mixture is well blended.
Stir in the gravy and water or broth. Cook, stirring until thickened.
Add the cream, the turkey, and the vegetables. Heat through. Taste and add salt, as needed. Remove from the heat.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish or pie plate and let cool while you prepare the crust. At this point, cover and refrigerate the filling until the crust is ready to be filled. (The filling can be made several hours in advance.)
Make the Crust
Gather the ingredients.
In a large bowl, blend the flour and salt.
Work the chilled butter pieces and shortening (or all butter) with fingers or pastry blender, or use a food processor for the task. (If you used a food processor, transfer the mixture to a large bowl.)
Add a few tablespoon of the ice water and toss to blend. Add more ice water, in small amounts, until the mixture clumps together.
Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead a few times.
Gather into a ball then flatten into a round disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Assemble and Bake the Pie
Gather the ingredients.
Roll the chilled dough out on a lightly-floured surface to approximately 1/8-inch thickness.
Place over the pie filling, trimming away uneven excess overhang.
Turn the remaining overhang under to create a thick edge. Crimp and flute the edge as desired. Cover loosely and chill at this point or prepare the egg wash and bake right away.
Heat the oven to 375 F.
Combine the egg white and water, whisking to blend. Brush over the crust.
Cut vent holes in the crust with a very sharp knife and sprinkle the top with sesame seeds, if desired. Place the pie on a foil-lined baking sheet to catch drips.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the crust is nicely browned and the filling is bubbly.
Serve and enjoy!

How to End a Letter the Right Way!
Every copywriter knows that it is extremely important to start a sales letter (paper or e-mail) correctly. In the first couple of sentences you have to grab the reader's attention and get him on your side. If you don't, the greatest product features and the most wonderful benefits in the world, won't get you anywhere.
What is not as widely appreciated is the fact that you also must handle the ending of your sales letter with equal skill. All too often, writers seem to run out of steam and settle for a flabby, weak ending which really can hurt response.
Let me show you what I mean.
Here is the last paragraph from an old Symantec sales letter intended to upgrade its WinFax Pro installed base to the latest version:
Don't wait . . . call 1-800-631-8118 today to upgrade to the new WinFax Pro 9.0 for only $49.95. I guarantee you'll enjoy its new features right from the start! If not, return it within 60 days for a full refund (excluding shipping and handling).**
Sincerely, ...
**Subject to the terms of our license and warranty.
What a downer! Out of all the upbeat, motivating ways to end a letter, why highlight the fact that you are excluding shipping and handling from your guarantee, and then add insult to injury by using asterisks that refer customers to the terms of your license and warranty?
Not a good choice! You should never end your letter with a reference to a legalism. Another thing to avoid is ending with your fax or phone number. That information is fine for your P.S., but it's a flat, boring way to close out your letter. It's much better to end on an upbeat note that really has some energy, some spirit and some motivating power.
Let's take a look at the ending of a Quicken sales letter that works much better:
After all, you've worked hard getting where you are today. You deserve to have your money work hard for you. And there's no better, easier way to do that than with Quicken - the indispensable financial tool that helps you recognize when opportunity is knocking . . . and opens the door to a brighter, more comfortable, more secure future!
Intuit used a writer who stayed awake on the job all the way to the end and it shows!
Just as a method actor has to discover the "emotional truth" of the scene and make it come alive for the audience, the copywriter has to discover the core "truth" of the selling proposition and make it shine in the final paragraph. That's exactly what the writer did in the Quicken letter quoted above.
As a writer, sometimes you have to struggle to figure out what this truth is. For example, some years ago I wrote a direct mail package for the Atlanta Golf Classic. I kept writing glowing prose about the great golf that the reader would see at the Classic, but I just didn't feel that I was connecting; I hadn't found the "hot button" that would get big companies to buy scores of tickets.
Then it dawned on me that the Atlanta Golf Classic was offering corporate attendees far more than golf. It was giving companies the chance to build relationships with valued clients by inviting them out for the day. This was a chance for executives to kick back and get away from the office, have a few drinks and make some deals. This human dimension is what had to be massaged in the letter's ending. The light bulb lit up, and I knew I was on to something. The ending wrote itself:
On a personal note, let me add that the BellSouth Atlanta Classic is a truly magnificent sporting event that I know you, your clients, and customers will enjoy tremendously.
If you want to have a fabulous time, while you create or strengthen important business relationships, I urge you to pick up tickets while they're still available.
The dogwood will be in bloom. The weather will be beautiful. These are the days you always said you owed yourself!
This is so much better than simply saying, "To order your tickets call 1-800-224-8976."
Next time you write or review a sales letter, make sure it ends with impact. It's easy to do and makes a tremendous difference!

17 JunSimple Quality Solutions For Being Your Own Handyman (or Handywoman)
Home improvement projects are the perfect way to help you update your home and customize your living environment to showcase your unique style. No matter what you plan to work on, this article can help you get started by providing you with quick and easy tips to change your home.
When it comes to home improvement,it is not uncommon to ask for a contractor to provide references from their previous jobs. This is important to ensure that their prior customers received the satisfaction that you desire. It is not abnormal to ask for this, and if the contractor acts otherwise it is most likely because they have something to hide.
As you begin your home improvement project, it is important to always keep your budget in mind. It is essential to plan the project out ahead of time and get prices on the materials that you will need to make your vision a reality. It is also important to consider how long the project will take you.
A great home improvement tip is to run a criminal background check on any potential repairman you're considering. You definitely don't want a convicted criminal inside your home, with access to all of your private information. Running a criminal background check on potential contractors is easy and will save you a great deal of stress.
When replacing flooring, think about the kind of foot-traffic that will be in the room. Stone and ceramic floors are perfect for high traffic areas such as the foyer and bathroom. Areas in your home that have low traffic, such as personal bedrooms, are better suited for flooring that is more attractive but harder to clean.
A lot of homes have wall to wall carpeting that is stained and looks bad. Wooden floors generally last longer and look more classic.
While major home improvements can grow very expensive, homeowners should avoid taking home loans to fund renovations unless it is absolutely necessary. Unless the renovations in question are needed immediately to prevent damage or make a house fit for sale, it is better to let them wait. Funding home improvement work from savings or investments is far superior to funding it through debt.
Do not neglect safety under any circumstances. Wear goggles, hard hats, gloves and ear protection. Amateurs notice professionals foregoing protective gear and follow their lead. Just because you see others ignoring safety does not mean you should. If you are inexperienced, you have a much greater chance of getting injured.
Adding halogen track lighting fixtures can add an especially elegant touch to kitchens in which food is focal. Track lighting can be adjusted to highlight distinctive architectural elements of the kitchen, illuminate fine china or floral displays, or draw visitors' eyes to the main serving area during intimate dinner parties.
Home improvement work does not have to be difficult. By following the advice we provided above, we hope that you will find it easy to begin working on any number of projects around your house. You'll be amazed at the results you can achieve, once you get started!

Toward robust analysis of unstructured point-cloud
I am a CNRS researcher, working at the STORM research group, in the IRIT laboratory, Toulouse.
I am also an associate researcher of Archeovision, a CNRS laboratory studying how Cultural Heritage researches can be leveraged by the acquisition, modeling and processing of 3D data.
My research interests focus on the analysis of unstructured data (usually point-clouds) generated by acquiring a physical object or scene, a very hot topic in several research communities (Computer&Graphics, Pattern Recognition, …) and in the industry. Above all the research aspects, I'm considering the following challenges: 1) there is currently no practical formalism allowing to characterize shapes at locals, medium and large scales at once, 2) the notion of a shape scale within an object is still ill-defined, despite a wide range of attempts, 3) very few studies have been published on the transitions between the pertinent scales and shapes of a 3D model.
In addition to these theoretical challenges, I'm also very interested in the applications that could be enhanced by more efficient analysis of raw point clouds: cleaning, reconstruction, abstraction, completion, recognition, etc.
I've also a growing interest on color processing, using geometrical properties of colors. We call that Structural Color Processing.

Business owners are typically quite adept at forecasting the future needs of their companies. In fact, for entrepreneurs, planning ahead is an indispensable skill. Yet, by the same token, looking forward in a practical way is often next to impossible without accurately evaluating the past.
Of course, each year presents its set of highs and lows; and it's just as important to celebrate an achievement as it is to assess and learn from a flawed decision. Simply stated, in order to create a working plan for the upcoming year, it's imperative for business owners to take stock of the past one. Small-business adviser to entrepreneurs across the globe and contributor to Inc.com, Marla Tabaka, shares some valuable guidelines for preparing a smart annual business review.
1. Establish your goals.
A yearly review requires a sense of objectivity as well as the ability to "[separate] yourself from the business to access a bird's-eye view", says Tabaka. Rejoicing in the wins and recognizing the areas where improvements are needed requires a positive outlook because, as Tabaka states, "…no matter which way it goes, you're about to make it better".
2. Prepare a query list.
A direct approach to the review process will help you cover all bases, and even create an innovative forum. Therefore, it is always helpful to prepare a list of questions; for example:
- What were our/my achievements?
- How did these achievements affect our growth as a company?
- What did we learn in the past year, and how did it support our progress?
- What were our greatest setbacks and/or disappointments for the year?
- Were strategies created and implemented to tackle any setbacks?
- Were there any unforeseen expenses which could be avoided in the upcoming year?
3. Create a schedule.
Remember that it's not necessary – or beneficial — for a year-end review to be completed in one sitting. It's important to set aside enough time to properly delve into the issues that matter most to your company. Tabaka advises, "Keeping the pace is important, so schedule time slots in each day during one particular week". While your own company may require more or less time than another, don't limit yourself and your organization during this crucial process.
4. Reflect on the positive.
Learning from our successes is just as important as learning from our mistakes. Recognize what works for your company, and recreate the specific practices that led you to those achievements within the context of the future needs of your organization. Remember that talent and skill play roles in success too, so this is also a time to celebrate your team's (and your own) natural abilities.
5. Ascertain your metrics.
It's time to identify the tools you will need to measure your company's performance over the past year. Naturally, you will need to review your financial statements, but other metrics may also include assessing new customer growth and retention, email list development, Google analytics for your company website, as well as downloads and new subscribers via your own online published content. The next step is to, "carefully review your metrics and ascertain what contributed to your growth, as well as best practices for further growth", according to Tabaka. Business owners should also try researching and pinpointing other ways of contributing to their own metrics arsenal.
6. Review goals for upcoming year.
Most often, our objectives will change with time, so assuming that your post-review goals will remain identical to those of the prior year is generally unrealistic. As supply and demand, as well as economic trends shift over time, so will your company's objectives. Tabaka's advice to business owners is to "[identify] which goals are worth keeping, which will be eliminated, and how you will redirect your energies to realize your desired outcome". However, don't rush to eliminate valuable goals that didn't necessarily work out. Rather, try seeking out alternative strategies for achieving them. Always remember to consider both the long and the short term when contemplating your objectives.
7. Don't overlook company culture and values.
Whether deliberate or unplanned, company culture is a pivotal factor in a company's reputation and overall success. Nevertheless, without a solid value system, a positive and supportive culture is much more difficult to achieve. Even sole-proprietors should maintain a distinct set of values in order to be successful. Tabaka advises business owners to take stock of both the positives and negatives in relation to their company's culture by asking the following key questions:
- What did you do to encourage a positive company culture this past year?
- Were there any missed opportunities?
- How can you be even more focused and effectual when supporting a positive company culture in the upcoming year?
8. Remember to follow up.
Plans are only as effective as the degree to which they are upheld. Don't forget to arrange periodic (monthly or quarterly) meetings to ensure that your goals and strategies are not only in working order, but also having the desired effect. Conversely, keep in mind that these tactics are not necessarily "carved in stone", so to speak. As Tabeka supports, they are rather "…fluid like water. Make changes, note your wins, and continue to celebrate them".

PA Court Says Compressor Stations Essential to Production
Zack Needles The Legal Intelligencer May 28, 2012
The Commonwealth Court has ruled that the operation of a compressor station falls within the definition of gas production as used in a townships zoning ordinance, and thus cannot be banned by a township in areas where gas production is otherwise permitted.
The ruling could be an important one as Pennsylvania municipalities seek to control certain aspects of Marcellus Shale-related natural gas development.
A three-judge panel led by Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt reversed McKean County Common Pleas Senior Judge William F. Morgans ruling, which affirmed an order of the Bradford Township Zoning Hearing Board that held that a compressor station was not a permissible use in the townships forest, slope and residential district despite the fact that oil and gas production is allowed there.
Judge Leavitt said a compressor station was necessary to move gas from the wellhead to a pipeline in order to be carried away from the site, and was therefore a component of gas production under the townships zoning ordinance.
The ordinance allows for oil and gas production, including equipment necessary to drilling or pumping operations, but not including the construction or alteration of new or existing storage.
The evidence is uncontroverted that without the compressor station, New Centurys gas at the wellhead is useless, except, perhaps, for flaring and roasting marshmallows, Judge Leavitt said.
Judge Leavitt was joined by Judges P. Kevin Brobson and Renee Cohn Jubelirer.
In the appeal, Bradford Township Zoning Officer Jack Carnes issued a notice to New Century Pipeline, a company that drills and pumps for shallow gas, claiming the companys compressor station violated a section of the townships zoning ordinance.
The zoning officer said the compressor station was not necessary to drilling or pumping operations, since its function was to process gas that had already been extracted which, Mr. Leavitt, said is only permissible in the townships general manufacturing district, not its residential and woodland districts.
New Century, however, contended that the station was essential to gas production because gas could not be moved from the wellhead without it.
At the hearing on the enforcement notice, William Woodring, a nearby resident and retired fire chief at an oil refinery, testified that the compressor was not involved in gas production because it was not necessary for removing gas from the ground.
Trial court Judge Morgan cited Blacks Law Dictionarys definition of produce [t]o bring (oil, etc.) to the surface of the earth and interpreted production as the act of bringing gas from underground to the earths surface.
Ultimately, Judge Morgan determined that the compressor station was processing the gas since it was changing the chemical composition of it after it had moved a few feet from the wellhead.
New Century, however, argued that the edition of Blacks Law the trial court relied was wrong.
Judge Leavitt, meanwhile, said the defining issue is the meaning of oil and gas production, including equipment necessary to drilling or pumping operations.
The fixation on single words has perverted a logical construction of [the] Zoning Ordinance, Judge Leavitt said, explaining that dictionaries were of limited utility in the case since the compressor station fits the definitions of both production and processing.
Judge Leavitt said the board also should not have relied on Mr. Woodrings initial testimony. Judge Leavitt also disagreed with the townships reliance on the Supreme Courts rulings in both Gulf Oil, from 1947, and Kilmer v. Elexco Land Services from 2010.
In Kilmer, the Supreme Court, in ruling that gas companies could deduct production costs from royalty payments, made a determination between production and post-production, but did not address processing, Judge Leavitt said.
Gulf Oil, meanwhile, was a tax case in which the justices mentioned the definition of processing merely in passing.
In sum, we hold that operation of the compressor station is gas production, [and,] as such, a permitted use, Judge Leavitt wrote.
Any other interpretation makes gas production, including equipment necessary to drilling or pumping operations impermissible, which contradicts the Zoning Ordinances express authorization of gas production in the Forest District.

I'm having a small problem whereby every 10 - 30 minutes the screen will pixellate for 1 - 2 seconds then come back to normal. The sound feed is fine, it's just the picture that's breaking up seemingly at random. My eXtra terrestrial box doesn't exhibit this at all, so I don't think it's a reception issue. (quality bar is full, power is half).
Is this a known issue? Anyone have workarounds? I'm using the PowerDVD codec's for both mpeg2 and H264 feeds.

DAN Burns made a memorable debut for Billingham and is ready for the demands of National League rugby.
After deciding to switch from Acklam to Billingham, he made his National Three North debut in last Saturday's 48-15 win over Bradford and Bingley.
"I was happy with my debut," said the powerful 20-year-old forward. "I want to play at the highest level I can, and coming to Billingham gave me the chance to step up.
"I didn't want to leave Acklam, but I wanted the chance to better myself.
"At Billingham the pace and quality is a lot higher. I want to adapt to it and enjoy the season."
Billingham have consistently brought good youngsters through the ranks, but Burns has had no problem coming in as an outsider.
"The lads have made me feel very welcome," he reported.
"The attacking way that Billingham play appeals to me. I want to be part of it.
"I have played senior rugby for four years and am looking forward to the challenge this season."
Burns played a key role in keeping Bradford and Bingley at bay, and while the side's attacking flair caught the eye, the contribution of Burns was not lost on skipper Joe Evans, who said: "Dan was one of our better players.
"It was a very good debut and we are delighted he's here."
Tomorrow Billingham visit Penrith, who have lost both games.
Burns and Anth Hyndman are fit after knocks, while Joe Evans will play despite stitches in an eye wound.
Middlesbrough, seeking their first win, host Malton and Norton in North One East.
And Boro field a strong line-up, as centre Paul Norris, full-back Rhys Kilbride and skipper and No 8 Richie Barker all return.
Ex-colt Connor Foley comes in on the wing and Ollie Hesslehurst at centre, forming a new youthful partnership with Toby Tremlett.
Guisborough and Stockton lead the Durham North One table.
Stockton have the squad depth to make changes at Medicals, so in come former British Universities centre Barny Hopcroft and wing Chris Farrell. Veterans Paul Lee and Martin Howe drop to the bench. The pack remains unchanged.
Guisborough aim to continue their bright start at Gosforth.
Acklam have started slowly, but have a chance to kick start their season at home to Sunderland. Simon Duffy (prop) and Ross Groves and Simon Bate (back row) return.
In Division Two, leaders Redcar must make changes for the trip to Seaham, as several players have work commitments.
In the forwards, captain Phil Dyball is replaced by Andy Wills and Steve Cook is replaced on the bench by young Ben Anderson.
In the backs Andy Benbow is also working so Danny McIllvenny reverts to centre with Mark Patterson and Rob Bryce back on the wing.
Neil Cook has recovered from a hamstring tear and teams up in the second row with player coach Neil Young, who said: "If we get it right and cut out the ill discipline, we will match any team in this league."
Division Three top dogs Yarm, who have made their best start for years, host Whitby.
MIDDLESBROUGH (home to Malton and Norton, 1.30, 3pm): Kilbride, Evans, Bellerby, Norris, Foley, Bircham, Whittaker, Helm, R Horton, Harland, Hesslehurst, Tremlett, Lonsdale, John, Barker. Reps: Micklewright, C Horton, Symon.
REDCAR (at Seaham): Challenor, Wills, Nicholas, Cook, Young, Little, Johnson, Seabright, Condell, McMahon, Bryce, Mcllvenny, Patterson, Addison, Dixon. Reps: Templeman, Anderson, Cains.
STOCKTON (at Medicals, 12.30, 3pm): Jenkins, Crozier, Hopcroft, Slaughter, Farrell, Phinn, Green, Wootten, Dixon, Brown, Skirving, Taylor, Bailes, Muirhead, Conway. Reps: Lee, D'Cuhna, Howe.
ACKLAM (home to Sunderland, 1.45, 3pm): Duffy, Ffitch, Pearson, Kirkbride, Cruickshank, Groves, Chambers, Bate, Thwaites, Ashton, Norman, Dalton, Walker, Moffatt, Mableson. Reps: Richards, Trippett, Forbes.

Chapter: Comic
Baldur is not having much fun at Uncle Loki's "art gallery". He's also starting to catch on that Sleezy Pete's might not be the best place to pick up a canvas for his mead hall. The boy is still a little nervous around the opposite sex, and having a woman crawl towards him growling on all fours is not a very good introduction. Fortunately, as a Viking he realizes that all problems can be solved with the broadsword, and soon he and Loki are off to further misadventures.
