In our introductory physics courses as well as in our daily use of physics, we regularly encounter the early work of Galileo, Isaac Newton, Luigi Galvani, Alessandro Volta, Thomas Young, Jean Poiseuille, Julius Mayer, Hermann von Helmholtz, William Gilbert and Jacques d'Arsonval. Many of us fail to recognize that the first four were physicists who in the course of their studies of physical systems made major contributions to the life sciences, while the remainder were physicians whose fundamental contributions to physics were largely motivated by their interest in biology and medicine. In the past 40 years, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to a remarkable number of physicists, including Hugo Theorell, Georg von Bekesy, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, Alan Hodgkin, Andrew Huxley, Haldan Hartline, Max Delbruck, Rosalyn Yalow, Allan Cormack and Geoffrey Hounsfield. There must be a multitude of reasons why each of these modern-day physicists chose a career that spanned both physics and the life sciences, but it is unlikely that any single book, with the possible exception of Erwin Schrodinger's What is Life?, could have been the stimulus. Why are there so few books that successfully span physics, medicine and biology?
While there are excellent texts, treatises and reviews of medical and radiological physics and biophysics, none of these provides the breadth and depth required of a guidebook for a physicist or biologist desiring to explore, possibly for the first time, the realm where physics joins medicine and biology. The problem in part is that such a book should develop simultaneously both the physics and the biology without assuming extensive prior knowledge of either, and yet should explore the subject with sophistication and quantitative rigor. In 1977, I was confronting the dilemma of finding no suitable text for the very first physics course I had been assigned to teach, an introductory medical physics course for undergraduate premedical students, when a friend of mine from the Mayo Clinic told me that Russell Hobbie of the University of Minnesota was writing just the book I needed. For two years my students and I learned from typed manuscripts kindly provided by Hobbie, and my colleagues and I have been using the first edition of Intermediate Physics for Medicine and Biology ever since then. This year, we can greet our students with the second edition.

Steve McManaman thought he had a grip on what Mohamed Salah could bring to Liverpool when he completed his move from AS Roma last summer.
Glimpses of the Egypt international in Serie A gave the former Reds winger a sense of the talent recruited by Jürgen Klopp ahead of the 2017-18 season.
But his exploits since arriving on Merseyside – namely 43 goals in 50 appearances so far – have surpassed McManaman's expectations considerably.
"[It is] one of the greatest debut seasons ever. I think everybody concurs with that," he told Liverpoolfc.com of Salah, who was named Player of the Season and Players' Player of the Season at the annual LFC awards on Thursday.
"I don't think we knew nine months ago, when he arrived and played his first game for Liverpool, that he'd be as successful as he has been.
"He has blown everybody away, hasn't he?
"[It's down to] his style of finishing, his type of finishing and his composure in front of goal.
"Personally, I'd seen him a few times so I knew he was a really good player. I thought he'd be a really good addition to Liverpool's squad and team – but even I didn't expect him to have the impact he's had this year."
McManaman was speaking at LFC World presented by Standard Chartered in Dubai, which culminates with a special viewing party this Sunday.

Friday, March 17 we packed up the car and drove up into the mountains toward Gramado.
The scenery along the coast was beautiful.
There were banana plantations all along the foothills.
As we headed up the mountainside, the trees were full of purple blossoms.
Near Canela, the roadsides were lined with hydrangeas (terrible driving photo through the windshield but it reminds me what it looked like).
Before reaching Gramado, we stopped in Canela and visited Alpen Park.
First, we took a 4-wheel eco tour of the area. It was awesome. We saw a waterfall, jungle, and forest.
Then, we rode the zip-lines. Raine wants to ride a zip line every place we visit. This was Carter's first time on a zip-line.
Grandma and Grandpa met us at the apartment in Gramado and we wandered around the town a bit before dinner. Here is Carter trying out the "big ear."
We climbed the hill to the Igreja do Relógio, Templo Apóstolo Paulo.
Gramado was settled by Germans and it feels a lot more like Europe than Brazil.
Igreja Matriz São Pedro Apóstolo had some beautiful stained glass windows.
Eventually, we made our way to Maison Des Saveurs for a 3-course fondue dinner (because that is apparently what you eat in Gramado since that is what EVERY restaurant serves).
Our apartment in Gramado was awesome. It had two levels with three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a huge living/dining room. Plus, all the water faucets had hot water!

Yesterday, Roxane Gay was awarded the Guggenheim Award in the Creative Arts category.
Author Roxane Gay won a Guggenheim Award, given by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, in the General Nonfiction category.
What's a Guggenheim Award? Only one of the most celebrated, appreciated, and most prestigious awards given out to creatives! So, the award-winning author is one of just 175 people to receive it. It's given to authors and other accomplished folks to facilitate their creating more!
Congrats, Roxane.
I once had the opportunity to interview Roxane Gay, and I was extremely surprised at how humble she was in spite of all her accomplishments. What a blessing that she's gotten this award! I'm sure a lot more others will come!
So far, she's written Ayiti, and Untamed State both of which are Haiti-themed. I hope Haiti is a subject that she revisits again. As you may know, Roxane Gay was born and raised in Nebraska to Haitian parents. Would be proud of her anyway, but you know the Haitian factor makes you like her even more!
Hunger, Bad Feminist, two nonfiction works that she's released, have stunned the international literary world, not to mention her writing the Marvel Comics World of Wakanda series too!
Congrats again, Roxane Gay.

Metra train reversible chairs
So they have these chairs on the Metra train from Kenosha to Chicago that they can reverse.... At first I thought the purpose was that you could face each other. We tried that and it doesn't work when you have 4 people because there is no room for each others legs. Eventually I figured it out. The chairs reverse so that the train doesn't have to turn around or the riders have to face backward on the return trip. On the way back, after being exhausted from walking around Chicago and if the train is fairly empty, you can reverse one of the seats and put your legs on the seat across from you for napping.... it's not the best, but when you're 6 feet tall, it's about the only option (or you can rest your head against the dirty window)...

The Importance and Impact of Photography To Web Design!
There are many different ways to create interest and impact on a website, depending on its type and purpose. Color and shape can be used; an overall theme can be effective; and an impact can also be created through typography. The use of images and photos is still one of the best ways to create desired interest; however, web design professionals caution about using ordinary images about a topic that happen to be available. Using the wrong photography can ruin a beautiful website – getting it right can make it outstanding!
Photography vs. Other Media
There is wrong with combining different web design media, although there are a few advantages to choosing photography over video, animation, etc. The main benefit is that when properly processed and used, photos usually do not affect the speed or function of a website. Photography benefits a website by providing one more place through which a keyword can be tagged to aid SEO. A photo can be used in multiple ways – either as enhancement alone or as a guide throughout a website to product information and more.
Bad Photography vs. No Photography
Using photographic imagery on a website is fairly standard web design, provided there is access to the right photos. It may be tempting to use one's own images or ones taken from the internet – if this is done, it is important to be cautious. Besides copyright concerns, poor photography is worse than not using any at all.
Photos used on a website must be crisp, clear, correctly processed, and appropriately saved so a keyword can be used and integrated as a part of SEO – all without creating loading speed problems. Images must also be properly sized and strategically or artistically positioned, depending upon each website and the purpose of the photos.
Most importantly, photos should be of professional quality as non-professional photography often looks like just what it is – mediocre pictures that can degrade the overall presentation of the website. This can negatively affect the other positive elements of the web design and the company it represents.
Suitable Website Photography
Following are some ways to successful add photographs to a website:
Amateur – Although this is a method commonly used, it is not recommended unless the photographer is highly skilled and knows how to achieve the desired results.
Professional – Hiring an expert with experience and knowledge of how to get perfect images is the best choice. It is not always an affordable option, in which case the following option may be a better option.
Stock – Purchasing the rights to stock photography can be the best of both worlds. Good quality images can be found that can be used for a fee and eliminates the need to invest in a professional to do an entire shoot or to buy expensive gear to achieve desired photos. There are many stock photography websites where millions of photos are presented; in all likelihood, the proper photos can be found. Such websites charge membership fees, one-time download fees, usage fees, or sometimes all of them; however, they are convenient, affordable, and often used as a part of modern web design.
Photography, whether used as is or manipulated in photo editing programs to create a desired look is a preferred way to handle images. Studies have shown that viewers prefer to look at websites that have a good balance of photos and copy without adversely affecting the quality and loading speed of the website. Every professional web design company should have access to high-quality images through stock photo subscriptions – and are ready to put them to use to create a good-looking website!

What is scoliosis? Scoliosis is defined as a lateral curvature of the spine (in the side to side direction). There are two main types of scoliosis, functional and structural.
A functional scoliosis refers to a sideways curvature that usually moves symmetrically when bending from side to side. A structural scoliosis is one that stays curved during movement. Idiopathic scoliosis comprises 80% of the structural scoliosis. This is the type which can progress during adolescence and can lead to serious health consequences. It is found in 2 to 5 % of the population and occurs mostly during adolescence. Girls are 5 to 8 times more likely for the scoliosis to increase in severity.
Is it serious?
Functional curvatures in the spine might contribute to or cause spinal pain and a reduction of flexibility later in life due to wear and tear of the dysfunctional joints and unequal biomechanical stresses. But generally this type of scoliosis is not usually associated with any serious disability.
However, idiopathic scoliosis can be quite serious. A child may not exhibit pain early on since it is a slow progressive disorder. If the spinal curvature progresses to the point that it compromises the lungs and heart, surgery may be necessary to fuse the vertebra into place. Fortunately this doesn't occur very often, but children need to be examined periodically. The screening tests are quite simple and should be done on every child up until the age of maturity.
What are the signs of scoliosis?
- One shoulder may be higher than the other.
- One shoulder blade may be higher or more prominent than the other.
- There may be more space between the arm and the body on one side, when the arms are hanging loosely at the side.
- One hip may appear more prominent or higher than the other.
- The head is not centered over the pelvis.
- When a person is viewed from behind while they bend forward one side of the back may appear higher than the other.
What causes scoliosis?
Functional scoliosis can occur at any age and is most often related to overdevelopment of muscles on one side of the spine, poor posture, an inequality in leg length or poorly moving joints in the spine. Addressing the cause usually results in fairly rapid improvement in the curvature. This might involve strength and stretch exercises, posture improvements, or a heel lift combined with chiropractic adjustments.
Structural curvatures can be due to abnormally shaped, fused or misaligned vertebrae. The cause of idiopathic scoliosis by definition is unknown. There are some genetic and heredity correlations and there is some research that correlates to handedness (right vs. left) which indicates a muscle weakness correlation. There is also some research that shows a nutritional component, and there may even be a hormonal component since this type of scoliosis is primarily found in adolescent girls. Whatever the reason, the treatment approach should consider as many of the causes as possible.
What should you do if you suspect your child has scoliosis?
If your child shows any of the signs of scoliosis, seek professional help from a chiropractor or an orthopedic surgeon. Either of these professionals can evaluate the need for x-rays and recommend various treatment options. If it progresses to a large degree, it may be necessary for mechanical bracing or even surgery.
Dr. Douglas uses a conservative, multidisciplinary approach in treating mild to moderate cases. This includes manipulation, massage therapy, exercise instruction and nutritional support.

Eurostar Operational Again After Person Struck by Train
Car Rental & Rail Donald Wood March 03, 2015
The high-speed railway service, Eurostar, which connects England to France and Brussels, is once again operational after a person was struck by a train and was pronounced dead on the scene Monday morning.
According to Lizzie Dearden of The Independent, the incident took place around 11.45 a.m. local time between Ashford International and Ebbsfleet International stations. The death caused the suspension of all trains temporarily.
Police closed the train line between the two stations to conduct an investigation of the incident, causing massive delays and cancellations. Eurostar officials advised travelers to exchange or refund their tickets for another day.
The official Twitter account of Eurostar issued an initial warning for those who were looking to take the train Monday and followed up a few hours later with the news that the service had once again started running trains on the line:
Following the disruptions today due to a person hit by a train we are strongly advising not to travel.
— Eurostar (@Eurostar) March 2, 2015
Eurostar traffic has resumed, we expect to run a normal service tomorrow.
— Eurostar (@Eurostar) March 2, 2015
The schedule of departures and arrivals should be back to normal by Tuesday.
For travelers, delays and cancellations can have a major chain-reaction effect. While the incident took place between Ashford and Ebbsfleet, anyone trying to take the Eurostar Monday was forced to wait patiently or find alternate ways of getting to their destination.
Some riders took to Twitter to complain about the delays, including Danielle Meder:
Delay level: ludicrous. This Eurostar is my new official residence.
— Danielle Meder (@finalfashion) March 2, 2015
A death on the line is a serious incident that should be handled with the utmost class and respect by the company. Delaying the train until the proper authorities had completed their initial investigation justified the decision to shut down the Eurostar Monday.
While the delays and cancellations were a major inconvenience to travelers, the loss of a human life must take priority. The Eurostar officials handled this situation in the best possible manner for all parties involved.

Imagine if you could get every commercial broker in your region together in one room to trade lease comps—accurate, plentiful, and free.
That was the idea that led New York commercial broker Michael Mandel in 2012 to found CompStak, theBrokerList's newest Marketplace partner. CompStak, a free, crowdsourced database where brokers exchange lease comps, is now active in 11 markets nationwide.
While CompStak members usually trade comps one-for-one, members of theBrokerList who are commercial brokers can now get 10 complimentary lease comps when you sign up.
Glad to see @CompStak and @theBrokerList got connected!!
— Kristian Lee (@commercialmns) April 23, 2014
A crowdsourcing solution.
"Trading lease comps was like a game," says Danny Shachar, CompStak Director of Operations and Marketing. "It meant always calling other brokers—very inefficient. It was difficult to get the comps you needed in your database."
"Our founders said, 'Why not build a central database that would be free for brokers, researchers and appraisers?'"
How? Crowdsourcing—defined by Wikipedia as "the practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, and especially from an online community." Entrepreneurs have used online crowdsourcing for everything from fundraising to advertising to software testing.
Now CompStak has brought crowdsourcing to commercial real estate comps.
Accuracy and growth.
According to Shachar, CompStak members number in the hundreds in each of their 11 markets, with many regional databases containing more than 15,000 comps. But volume is meaningless without accuracy. How does CompStak ensure its anonymously contributed comps are accurate?
Shachar points to five factors:
- Relationships with members that develop trust over time.
- Review of all data before it's uploaded
- Multiple comps for the same deal, verifying the data
- Automatic flags for data that seems wrong

Ya gotta weigh the value of this. How much difference would Harry really make if he were allowed to join the ranks? I don't think he'd be winning the war singlehandedly or anything... he's basically be another grunt, doing the best he could. Him being in there's not going to win the war. It's not likely to have any major positive effect.
Meanwhile, his capture could be a big drawback. And if he were killed, that could be a huge blow to morale (which ain't exactly rosy as is). And, through no fault of his own, he would be getting extra protection. Unless he went in disguise and didn't tell anybody who he was and had a whole Spiderman secret-identity thing going, he'd get special treatment, which could compromise the other troops around him. Think about it: if you were in the army and Barbara or Jenna Bush was serving next to you, wouldn't you be distracted by trying to protect them? I don't even like 'em and I think I'd be doing it, just because... how'd you like to be the guy who didn't manage to save the leader of the country's kid?
So, I think we should grant Harry props for being willing to be an average joe and serve his country, when he could have pulled strings and ducked it in the first place if he'd wanted to. It doesn't take anything away from him that the country decided not to send him in, and I don't think it really makes the country non-egalitarian, either. It's just a question of weighing the possible benefits of the action against the possible detriments. In this case, I think the detriments would be heavier.

HONG KONG - China's Dongling Group is preparing to restart a 100,000-ton-a-year lead and zinc smelter this month, which has been shut since August last year following accusations by locals that it was a source of lead poisoning.
"Yes we are working on it. But (we) don't know exactly which day it will be reopened," a senior executive told Reuters when asked whether the company planned to restart the smelter this month.
The lead and zinc smelter in Changqing in Fengxiang county, close to Baoji city in Shaanxi province, has about 33,000 tons of annual lead capacity and 66,000 tons of zinc capacity.
The smelter was closed by authorities in August last year after hundreds of villagers broke into the plant to protest the alleged lead poisoning. In response, the local government later relocated villagers that lived near the smelter.
He said production at another plant owned by the company, the fourth biggest zinc maker in China, of 150,000 tons capacity a year remained normal.
The incident in Fengxiang county also caused authorities to tighten controls and checks on lead smelters nationwide and close three smelting facilities in Jiyuan in neighbouring Henan province, the top producing area in China, which is the world's top maker of metal widely used in batteries.
Dongling's smelter was scheduled to reopen on March 15, Hong Kong-based English-language newspaper South China Morning Post reported over the weekend quoting a local villager Ma Changxiong.
But three smelters in Jiyuan have remained closed and the city government has not given a timeframe to restart the capacity, a smelter source in the city said.
China's top lead producer, Yuguang Gold and Lead, as well as Wanyang Lead and Jinli Lead in Jiyuan have each closed a 50,000-ton-a-year designed sintering and smelting capacity since Aug 24. The facilities ran above capacity and produced nearly 240,000 tons a year before the closures.
Yuguang may give up the shut capacity in Jiyuan permanently to avoid further accusations, the smelting source said.
But that would not affect the lead producer much because it planned to start production at a new, environmental-friendly 100,000 ton-a-year lead plant next month, the source added.
The new plant would boost Yuguang's annual lead smelting capacity to about 330,000 tons, excluding the shut 50,000 ton of capacity, and to 400,000 tons of lead refining capacity.
Yuguang is also a zinc producer and plans to start building a third 100,000-ton-capacity unit by late 2010, boosting the company's annual zinc capacity to 300,000 tons, the source said.

Oh God, Tuesday
Yes, it is Tuesday, the most depressing day of the week...at least for me. And it's raining. And still cold, although not as cold as it was, but certainly not as nice as it could be.
So, naturally, this means that I am going to inflict my usual stream of conciousness drivel upon you. And incidentally, to all of the people who write "dribble" on message boards...that is incorrect, unless you mean drool. Drivel means nonsense...and it simply drives me to drink. Of course reading message boards is probably the worst thing that one can do. I've noticed that people will actually stick to the topic for a couple of posts, and next thing you know, they veer wildly off into tangents, and politics always rears its ugly head, and the whole point of the topic is completely lost.
So...veering completely off topic...there is something that has been puzzling me for years. If eating human flesh turns you into a Wendigo...but only if you do it in the woods of Canada, what if some kid out hiking with his parents eats a booger? Disgusting? Yes, completely. But still...would the little tyke turn into a little Wendigo? Things like this bother me.
I also wonder about the kind of people who actually would chose to live in Gotham City. Do they have a Tourist Board? How would you like to work for the Chamber of Commerce in Bludhaven say? What are their taxes like? Who pays the taxes on all of those abandoned warehouses that have been turned into supervillain lairs? I would think that a Lair Tax would do quite well, all things considered.
Do superheroes get royalties on the merchandise sold that bears their likenesses? Wonder Woman and Black Canary were in Japan a while back, and Diana was quite stunned to see all those anime statues of her. That's probably how Bruce Wayne manages to keep his family coffers replenished, but I don't know if the others in the Justice League are quite so smart.
It has really just started to dawn on me, that in a few short months, Geoff Johns, Doug Mahnke, Peter Tomasi and Fernando Pasarin will no longer be drawing and writing about my favorite Green Lanterns. I'm starting to panic just a wee bit. Especially since the promos say that Guy is going to be a Red Lantern. Been there and done that, and Guy is a GREEN Lantern, through and through. Although I am pleased that Hal is supposed to be back. And Kyle looks to be a White Lantern for a while at least. John seems to be going through the fewest changes, and I don't have a clue about what is going to happen withe Simon, except that he'll be hanging out with the new Justice League,which I suppose is as good a place for him as any. This way the rest of them can actually help the rest of the planets in their sector.
Does anybody have any weird unanswered questions about the Comic Book Universe too?

With a 2-leg bridle fitted, the 1 Skewer Rokkaku kite had some great flying today, in winds gusting to over 10 kph. I brought my favorite toy from Christmas Day with me ;-) It was a wind speed measuring device, the Windtronic 2 from Kaindl Electronic, a German company. The wind meter was soon set up on a mini camera tripod, in fact the one that came with our digital camera.
The tiny wind turbine whirred silently while I went about attaching the flying line and putting the kite up.
This oval was not infested with tall weeds like some others around this area! Hence no chance of the flying line or tail snagging all the time. Somewhat annoying!
Today, the weather was very pleasant for flying. Sunny, few clouds and a light breeze.
The winds seemed so light that I ventured to remove the last section of tail plastic from the 1 Skewer Rokkaku kite. Perhaps it wouldn't mind, and it would be a tiny bit less drag on the kite.
Indeed, during the lulls there was not quite enough breeze to even keep the little Rok in the air. However, I persisted, and eventually managed to get some photos and video. About 15 meters (50 feet) of flying line was out.
The kite seemed to be pulling a bit too hard, and looping, so I shifted the towing point forward a few millimeters.
With photos out of the way, 60 meters (200 feet) of line went out after much line-working and a couple of landings!
The tiny Rok settled out at around a 30 degree angle much of the time, sometimes lower when the wind was even lighter. To the point of nearly half the line draping onto the grass, while the kite gamely hung on. Just hovering there, suspended several meters above the ground!
Once or twice the 1 Skewer Rokkaku kite went to 60 degrees or more in some moderately strong thermal lift. It feels like this kite will fly at around 45 degrees in ideal wind strengths, on 60 meters (200 feet) of line. Albeit with quite a bit of sag!
Sag or no sag, there was room at this fairly large school oval to let out more line... With 90 meters (300 feet) out, I threw the winder around the trunk of a handy tree.
The 1 Skewer Rokkaku kite evidently has a slight right-turn built in, which caused looping during stronger gusts, and generally limited the height achieved. So I brought the kite down and added back the tail section which had been removed earlier. I also shifted the towing point back just a fraction.
Walking back to the tree, I noticed the kite's shadow creeping upwind as the little Rok soared higher and higher directly above. Watching the kite for several minutes, it was surprising how much difference the extra length of tail was making! The Rok flew straighter, smoother and higher than before. It was a pleasure to watch the long, gently weaving climbs as the wind strength freshened from time to time.
For tech-heads: regarding the maximum height, the reduced tendency to loop outweighed the effect of the increase in drag of the extra tail. By far!
According to the Windtronic wind meter, the breeze had averaged 3.3 kph most of the time, rising to 3.4 kph for a while.
Max wind speed at ground level was 10.2 kph. But I'm sure it was more like 15 kph higher up.
With 5 minutes to go before wife and child would expect to be picked up from the close-by supermarket, I brought the Rok down. Nice flight!
You can make kites by working through instructions on live Web pages. However, many people find it easier to work from printouts, or even off-line from a lap-top or tablet...
Making Skewer Kites is my handy PDF-format download of printable step-by-step instructions. All the 1-Skewer, 2-Skewer and 3-Skewer designs are covered.
The story above was an actual flying experience with the described kite. My write-ups are definitely warts-and-all since things don't always go totally as planned. However, half the fun of kiting is anticipating the perfect flight. When it happens, it's magic!
I'm referring to Simplest Dowel Kites, my popular kite-making download. It's a printable PDF file. Make a diamond, delta or sled. Each kite is capable of flying hundreds of feet up for hours on end.
Could you do me just a small favor though?

A brief

| 10.7°C Dublin
Four work colleagues from Dublin are now half a million euro richer after their syndicate scooped €2 million from the National Lotto.
The winners, who wish to remain private, split the jackpot evenly after they collected their winnings from the National Lottery offices on Friday morning.
The delighted workers had to wait more than a month to claim their winnings because the member of their syndicate who bought the ticket was away on holidays.
"I was on holiday in April and didn't realise we'd won until I got back," said one of the happy winners.
"My first reaction when I checked the account was that it must be a mistake. I sent one of the others a screenshot of the ticket and called him and said, check your messages – you won't believe this!"
The remaining two members of the syndicate were later contacted once the pair had confirmed they had a winning ticket.
"I'm soon to become a dad and I was about to get a loan for an extension on the house and a new car. Now I don't need to. This is just the best," said another winner, talking about how perfect the timing of the win was.
The winning ticket was purchase online from the National Lottery's website (www.lottery.ie) on April 8.
On Saturday, the Lotto jackpot is an estimated €6 million.

British Airways pilots strike has begun
300 thousand passengers involved
Today on September 9 the strike of 4300 British Airways pilots began, organized by the Balpa union (British Airline Pilots' Association). The dates set are, in addition to today's, also those of tomorrow and on September 27 (see AVIONEWS). This is the first long-term stop in the history of the British carrier that caused the cancellation of almost 1700 flights and 300 thousand passengers will be affected by the inconvenience. The most problematic airports will be Heathrow and Gatwick, but the airline has guaranteed refunds for travellers or flight reservations on other dates.
The motivation for the strike is due to a failed agreement on the salaries of the commanders: the airline refused the 11.5% increase in salary (pilots in this way would earn about EUR 220,000 a year).
British Airways is a UK airline based at London-Heathrow Airport. It is the largest British carrier by fleet, flights and number of international destinations and the second by number of passengers transported after easyJet. It's experiencing a period of pressing difficulties such us IT technical problems that have forced the BA to refund from millions of pounds, the question marks related to "Brexit" and now the protests.

When a business needs a new building or wants to renovate its current office, it has to think about two main aspects. The first is function. Everyone who uses the building has to be taken into consideration along with what tasks they will be doing on a daily basis. A business will not be able to run well if the operations are hindered by poor office design. Unfortunately, a lot of companies stop at function. Many are only concerned that things work properly and efficiently. And while that is certainly important, the look and style of an office may be equally as vital for a number of reasons. First, fairly or unfairly, people often judge a book by its cover, which in this case means that when a customer or client walks into an office, they get an immediate impression. The décor says a lot about a company, and if it is boring or – worse – non-existent, this could lead to the loss of business. The same is true for job candidates. Company culture is a critical element for many job-seekers, and drab décor will not have the best talent clamoring to get hired. This is why even the seemingly little things have to be addressed in an office, including doors. Doors can make a huge difference, and not just for function, but for form as well. Sliding barn doors, for example, can be an excellent addition to a business.
What does a sliding barn door bring to an office?
Modern style
One of the reasons why sliding barn doors are becoming popular in offices is because of the new type of décor they bring. While swinging doors are a bit old-fashioned, sliding barn doors add a modern flare while still offering a simple and practical design. And because they come in many different colors, they can easily blend in with a current theme or act as a bold element to really stand out.
Space-saving abilities
Of course, sliding barn doors do not just look great; they offer many practical reasons to use them as well. One of these is due to the space they save. Because they slide along a track and do not swing open, they preserve all of the floor space within an office. A sliding barn door is especially good to use when space is at a premium.
Sound-blocking and privacy
Offices can be noisy places, and the more noise, the less chance there is of work getting done. A sliding barn door eliminates sound distractions by blocking out noise, both for the people inside the office and the ones outside. The acoustic performance of sliding barn doors also ensures that people will have complete privacy when the doors are closed.
Sliding barn doors are the perfect choice for businesses that want optimal performance out of their doors while still creating an aesthetically-pleasing work environment. AD Systems carries top quality sliding barn doors that are completely customizable. They are offered in a variety of colors with different options for door finishes, inset panels, and hardware.

'Messi or Ronaldo? I'd rather player with Ziyech!' - Ajax ace underlined potential against Madrid
It may have been a joke but there is no denying that Ziyech has been a joy to behold of late, and most recently in Wednesday's Champions League last-16 clash with Real Madrid.
Ajax may have fallen to a 2-1 defeat in Amsterdam but their Moroccan attacker was a constant thorn in the side of the European champions.
Of course, his dynamic display didn't come as a surprise who have been watching him closely over the past 18 months. As Ajax coach Erik ten Hag had told those coming to see Ziyech for the first time, "If you love football, you'll love him."
Editors' Picks
- Fifa blocks Tanta SC from fielding Sofapaka striker John Avire – Kalekwa
- AFC Leopards bus set to be repossessed by Kakamega hotel over unpaid bills
- Caf Champions League: We missed training because Gor Mahia failed to provide a bus - USM Alger
- Chelsea can be the best again, but they need Abramovich back at Stamford Bridge - Ivanovic
Ziyech was deservedly named the best player in Netherlands last year, winning the Gouden Schoen award after creating an Eredivisie-high 15 goals, as well as scoring nine himself.
Yet, despite strong interest from several clubs – Roma were particularly keen – no move materialised, much to the surprise and relief of Ten Hag, who had effectively bid farewell to the 25-year-old last summer.
Thus, the visit of Madrid presented Ziyech with the chance to prove his worth on the game's grandest stage, with representatives from all of Europe's top clubs – including Juventus director Fabio Paratici, who was present to run the rule over De Ligt – having assembled at the Johan Cruyff Arena to observe the most exciting side Ajax have produced in two decades.
Ziyech lined up on the right flank but his role was always to bring the ball inside to link up with the revitalised Dusan Tadic and the Barcelona-bound Frenkie de Jong, whilst creating opportunities for his countryman, Noussair Mazraoui, to overlap.
When Ajax had spells of possession, Ziyech was given full license to move across the front-line as Tadic had been employed as a false 9.
The role of the hosts' inside forwards was to get into goalscoring positions and not hug the touchline. In the first 10 minutes alone, Ziyech twice popped up on the left, first firing a shot across the box, and then delivering a cross to the back post.
Ajax may have been beaten on the night but Real were unable to curb Ziyech's influence on the game. Indeed, he had 92 touches, more than any other attacking player.
Of course, his most notable contribution was his second-half equaliser but Ziyech had six shots in total, hitting the target with half of them, while he also completed five dribbles.
However, while he primarily caught the eye offensively, his role in Ajax's aggressive pressing game was arguably just as impressive.
He won two tackles and made three interceptions but much of his good work off the ball wasn't backed up by the statisticians.
One can be sure, though, that the scouts in attendance noted his overall defensive contribution, as Ziyech also repeatedly forced Madrid to play backwards or to rush forward passes into surrounded team-mates.
This display was more Bernardo Silva than Juan Mata in its intensity out of possession and would doubtless have impressed his numerous suitors.
Ziyech still has aspects of his game that he needs to work on, of course.
In a way, Real represented excellent opposition for him to show his many attributes – both offensive and defensive – because the European champions come to play, no matter the context of the game.
In the 2017 Europa League final, Jose Mourinho's Manchester United side used aggressive man-marking to counter Ajax's attacking threat.
That night, Ander Herrera kept a very close eye on Ziyech, who was operating on the left-hand side of a midfield three.
Even when moving wide, dropping deep or playing higher up, he was unable to get away from Herrera, and his impact on that final proved minimal, as Ajax slumped to a tame 2-0 defeat.
On the limited evidence of Ziyech facing defensive opponents in the truly big games, he still has some developing to do.
Ten Hag, though, is in no doubt that the Morocco international would flourish in a tougher league.
"Aside from his technical qualities, it's his footballing intelligence that makes him so strong," he explained.
"Would he maintain his performances abroad? If you're the best in the Netherlands, I don't think he'd have any problems."
Choosing the right club is obviously key. As well as Roma, he has also been linked with Liverpool, Everton and Borussia Dortmund – sides that play different games.
That list of interested parties will lengthen, though, if Ziyech proves himself the real deal at the Santiago Bernabeu on March 5.
The bottom line is De Ligt is unlikely to be playing alongside Ziyech next season; he won't be at Ajax beyond the summer.
But it's unlikely Ziyech will be either.

They are all the same. The first one was a month or so ago.
Then another last weekend.
Then one yesterday,
then 2 today.
I have run scans and changed passwords.
Any ideas?:
"Hey there
I am the hacker who cracked your e-mail as well as device a couple of weeks ago.
You entered your pwd on one of the websites you visited, and I intercepted that.
This is the security password from ___ upon moment of compromise: ___
No doubt you can will change it, or already changed it.
Nevertheless this would not make any difference, my own malware updated it every time.
Do not really attempt to contact me personally or even find me, it is impossible, since I sent you mail from your account only.
Through your own e mail, I uploaded harmful program code to your Operation System.
I saved your entire contacts along with buddies, fellow workers, relatives along with the entire record of visits to the World-wide-web resources.
Also I installed a Malware on your system.
You aren't my only prey, I typically lock pcs and ask for a ransom.
Nonetheless I ended up being hit through the sites of personal content material that you normally check out.
I am in shock of your own fantasies! I've certainly not noticed something like this!
Thus, when you had fun on piquant websites (you know what I mean!) I made screen shot with using my program by your camera of yours system.
After that, I put together them to the content of the currently viewed site.
Now there will be giggling when I send these images to your acquaintances!
Yet I believe you do not need it.
Therefore, I expect payment from you for my silence.
I think $900 is an adequate price for this!
Pay with Bitcoin.
My BTC wallet: 159ATu1Mkyij418Dt7N8DwKeg1E27YWwdB
In case you do not know how to do this – type into Google 'how to send money to a bitcoin wallet'. It is not difficult.
Immediately after getting the given amount, all your details will be straight away eliminated automatically. My computer virus will also get rid of itself out of your computer.
My Trojan virus possess auto alert, so I know when this mail is opened.
I give you two days (Forty eight hours) to make the payment.
If this does not occur – all your connections will get outrageous photos from your darker secret life and your device will be blocked as well after 48 hours.
Do not be silly!
Police or buddies won't aid you for certain …
p.s I can offer you advice for the future. Don't key in your security passwords on unsafe websites.
I hope for your discretion.
Good-bye.Sean DoyleKeymaster
Sadly, these types of emails have become popular lately. Your information such as full name, email address, password, and phone number was obtained following a breach of a third-party website or service such as Adobe or LinkedIn. The scammer is using your leaked information to frighten you into paying them.
Change your password and ignore these messages as they are only threats. You will still receive these messages even if you pay.
You can search where your email account information was leaked using the search feature on this website: https://haveibeenpwned.com/
Please be aware that the scammer uses a third-party email spoofing service to make it appear as if the email was sent to your account. There should not be malware on your computer and no one should have logged into your account.
Hope this helps!

Our main goal was to check out the brand new Launch Zone for the National Children's Museum (opening in 2013). The Launch Zone is "is a place where children can prototype exhibit components and programs, share their ideas about what should be included in the new Museum, and participate in fun and educational programs related to the Museum's core content areas."
The staff member who was there yesterday morning, Lorinda, was incredibly friendly and helpful. She got out all sorts of wonderful things for Lucas to touch, feel and explore. The Launch Zone is open 7 days a week, but it seems to me that the best times to visit will be when they have a program. Luckily, that's every Tuesday and Saturday through May! And, I anticipate they will continue to fill in programming throughout the summer.
After spending some time at the Launch Zone, we strolled down the street and encountered an amazing mosaic on the ground. The benches surrounding it make suggestions of items for you to find throughout the images, making it really easy to turn this from just a pretty design to something educational.
The Awakening which has always been one of Abel and my favorite places to take visitors. We were sad to see it leave Haines Point but I love its new location right along the Potomac at National Harbor. Lucas had a blast playing in the sand, watching planes come into National Airport and seeing the ferries dock.
Overall National Harbor was great. From the Launch Zone to the sand to simply enjoying the lapping water, docked boats and airplanes flying overhead, Lucas was engaged and active the entire time. I look forward to returning for a program at the Launch Zone and will definitely take Abel there on a date night to enjoy one of the many great waterfront restaurants.

Despite the title of this article, I feel like a big enough deal has not been made about how truly bad this movie's name is. The movie, on the other hand, is quite good.
The seventh instalment in the X-Men saga, which is both second and last chronologically, is the truest to its comic form. Its time-bending storyline is a little bit ridiculous, as the X-Men themselves kind of are (if we're being honest), but everyone involved in the blockbuster was so committed to what they were doing that it all played out fairly naturally.
The film covers two separate story lines. The first features a dystopian future that pits a pair of well-known Canadian mutants (Ellen Page and Shawn Ashmore), as well as a slew of new mutants, against the unstoppable force of the Sentinel. The second story arc showcases a 'blast from the past' storyline that reunites Magneto and Professor Charles Xavier roughly ten years after the events of X-Men: First Class, as they try to prevent a key moment in mutant history from transpiring.
The film references Cameron's The Terminator as a narrating Charles Xavier poses the question, "Is the future set?"
Immediately, the film references Cameron's The Terminator as a narrating Charles Xavier poses the question, "Is the future set?" In my head, I hear Linda Hamilton telling me "No. The future is not set; there's no fate but what we make."
It was clever of whoever put that line into the movie to draw the parallel, because something about sending an agent back through time to prevent a robo-apocalypse naturally makes the audience think of Terminator, anyways. But X-Men is not Terminator. The machines aren't going back in time to kill a mutant that will lead a rebellion against them: no mutant is capable of that. The Sentinels are an unstoppable force, a force that makes even the fully matured powers of Professor Xavier, Magneto, and Storm basically useless.
No, this time it is the humans, or rather the mutants, who go back to stop a key act in history that will lead to the robotic uprising.
This is where Kitty Pryde (Page) comes in. In addition to being able to phase through anything, she has also picked up the handy little trick of being able to send people's current stream of consciousness into their younger bodies.
So, Kitty could just send Professor Xavier back—but she can't do that. To go back decades, Kitty says, it would tear the traveler's mind apart. Luckily, the X-Men's franchise star Hugh Jackman is perfectly suited for this as his brain is able to heal faster than it can be torn to pieces. I know—I was skeptical too, but the science checks out.
Thus Jackman, the Wolverine, is sent back to the 1970s, where virtually the entire film takes place, to get Xavier, Magneto and Mystique to alter the course of human and mutant history.
What DOFP does do really well is really show you how Xavier becomes Xavier. McAvoy is once again brilliant in the role. The ambiguously-aged future leader of the X-Men is not the Stoic and infallible man Patrick Stewart has made him out to be. Nor is he what you expect him to have become after McAvoy portrayed him in First Class. Instead, the audience is presented with a broken man. A man who tried to bring about the greater good by controlling the people he loved the most and, after an accident, was left paralyzed, broken and alone.
The original message, of course, was that it was wrong to hate someone for being different.
The relationship between Xavier, Magneto, and Mystique is an interesting one, perhaps the best that exists within the genre of superhero movies. Each one loves the other two but each is driven by a bigger purpose and a moral code that ultimately pulls them away from each other.
This is where DOFP is at its best: when it is exploring this dynamic relationship.
When the X-Men were created, they were a way for a couple of guys in their 40s who made a living writing and drawing funny books to lend their support to the civil rights movement. The original message, of course, was that it was wrong to hate someone for being different. And while this was fairly black and white, both now and in 1963 when the Uncanny X-Men first went to print, what isn't so clear is what to do about those that choose to hate. Xavier believes in always being the better man, Magneto the stronger man and Mystique, well, she just wants to live in a world where she doesn't have to hide. Ultimately the means to achieving each of these goals leads the characters to places they never wanted to go. Each is reacting in their own way to the hurt the world has caused them.
In the end, each has to choose whether to gratify that hurt or to be the example the world needs to follow. It's a difficult struggle, but it is one that elevates the film beyond its genre.
Also, there's this one scene with Quicksilver that's really cool. But you'll have to go see the movie yourself to get what I mean.

For it is not you who speaks, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. – Matthew 10:20
In the days of the Apostles, Jesus made sure that His followers understood that the Spirit of God would lead them in all things. It is important to remember that the bulk of His followers were not religious scholars, nor were they educated people in general. They were humble people: fishermen, carpenters, farmers, etc. In our day and age, we put so much value on a person's credentials, their experience, or their formal education. But, in God's work, the most successful missionary is the most humble and lowly of spirit. There is a reason that Jesus did not choose the Pharisees or Sadducees (i.e. those who knew the scriptures the most), and it was not just because of their hypocrisy and corruption. Their biggest fault was the fact that they were not teachable, in the sense that the Spirit could not penetrate their hearts. They would rely too much on their own understanding and intellect, thus they would not be able to aid in the conversion of anyone.
Those who have no preconceived notion of how God operates, or how they think God operates, are the ones who are more fully able to receive the Spirit of God.
Paul taught the Corinthians:
For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words (1 Corinthians 2:11-14).
And it is not only the Spirit that guides the humble in missionary work, the Spirit also teaches them what to say and do. The Spirit of God illuminates our minds and expands our understanding of God. But, without the Spirit, we are only left to our own devices.
How do we acquire faith in God?
Too often, the word 'faith' is confused with 'belief' or 'conviction.' While these words are similar in nature, they are not synonyms. Some of this confusion might come from our interpretation of certain scriptures in the Bible. We read that Jesus commanded certain people to have faith in God. Other times He even questioned the faith of someone, even his own followers. But, in these instances, he was not telling them to simply 'believe more,' he was noting one simple flaw; that is, they did not trust in God.
Faith is a result of putting our trust in the Lord. When we humble ourselves and trust God with our lives, he rewards us with faith. The Bible teaches us that faith is ". . . confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see" (Hebrews 11:1). If we correctly read this scripture, we will understand it to mean that God will give us confidence in the things that we hope for (or believe in). He also assures us that the things we cannot see, are in fact true. The book of Hebrews teaches us that Jesus is the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). The book of Romans teaches us that God gives each of us a measure of faith (Romans 12:3).
There is no amount of personal belief that will give us a conviction that God is real, that Jesus is our Savior, and that the Bible is the Word of God.
It is only through faith, GIVEN to us through our humility and trust in God, that we come to know that these things are true.
This one, simple truth is the downfall of so many believers in Christ. Sadly, they do not understand how to acquire faith, and as a result, they fall by the wayside. I was one of those that fell away. I was under a false assumption that if I merely acted the part (i.e. I read my bible, I preached the Word, and I lived like a Christian) then that was exercising faith. But what I didn't understand, until many years later, was that simply acting like a Christian doesn't mean you are actually converted.
There is a parable that Jesus taught that helps us to understand this important principle.
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash (Matthew 7:24-27).
But what were the words that Jesus mentions that we should hear and put into practice?
Directly before teaching this parable, Jesus teaches His listeners that only those who do the will of the Father will inherit the kingdom of heaven. But those who only say they believe, despite even performing 'miracles,' will be rejected. And how will they be rejected? Well, as it mentions in the parable, when the rain comes, and the winds blow, our house will fall. And what exactly is 'the rain' and 'the wind' referring to in this story? As mentioned before, they are the very things that caused me to fall away: doubt, misunderstanding, and deception.
God's will is for us to be humble and trust Him.
Then, He gives us the faith and assurance, through His Holy Spirit, that He is real, that He is in control; and, although we may not understand most things, we will not waver in our conviction.

Faith is a simple choice to trust. Sometimes on no evidence. Sometimes on bad evidence. And sometimes contrary to evidence that contradicts. It's a choice to trust and believe no matter what.
Abject servility to an idea or say.. a Person you can't even demonstrate to actually exist. Voluntary Slavery.
By the way, my favorite authors were em bounds, Andrew Murray, watchman nee, and Oswald Chambers. They all conveyed the Christian Life as supplied from God and His Life supplanting ours as believers. Have you read any of these?

Its summer and this year we are going to really make the most of it.
With Lincoln starting school in September I've become aware of how little time I actually have left with him. Wednesdays and Thursdays are usually our days to spend some time exploring and making memories. Being pregnant for the beginning of this year made me exhausted and I felt so limited in what I could do so now that Brody is here I am so ready to get started with our Summer.
This year things are a little different, now that I'm not working we are no longer a 2 income family. Days out for us need to be free or as cheap as possible. This has ignited my interest in being thrifty, couponing, finding free fun and spending as little as possible. Its almost become a game, If we can go all day with spending less than £10 then we've won.
I have put a £10 guideline purely because there is Car parking charges to think of and possible entrance fees. (This does not include the cost of fuel, living in the middle of nowhere driving is pretty much mandatory.)
Day 1 of our adventures we stayed local and explored Ninesprings woodland park in Yeovil, Somerset. As a child I remember going to Ninesprings regularly whether it was to feed the ducks, play in the park or find the waterfalls!
Lincoln has only been to the play park there before so this time we started at the other end by parking in the Goldenstones swimming pool car park, costing £1.40 for 2 hours. I used Brody's baby carrier which made things a lot easier without having to navigate the off road stretches with a push chair also allowing me to be hands free.
Ninesprings have several different routes, running, walking, one that leads to a woodland play zone, another that takes you out to the waterfalls and more. During the summer its a really nice shaded walk providing a bit of cool in the summer sun. Although there are some areas where the small ponds are open so for littler children reins or a tight firm grip are advised.
We spent 2 hours here exploring the water falls, playing in the play zone and going on a bear hunt. The woods can really bring a childs imagination to life and we had so much fun as well as getting great easy exercise. There are steep hills and bumpy paths so a watchful eye is best.
Alongside the car park is the Ninesprings cafe which looked lovely. We didn't go in unfortunately but I have heard great things about the food! This time we also avoided the play park (purely down to time restraints) but you could easily spend the day here with it costing absolute minimum.
The park has lots of benches dotted through out the woods along with picnic benches and lots of flat grassy areas to enjoy your own packed lunch. This is somewhere we will definitely be returning too especially being just a short drive from our house.
Ninesprings have there own facebook page that is regularly updated with different activities happening, Yoga in the park, Buggy runs etc.
Ninesprings Country Park- Facebook Page
A change of shoes for puddle splashing little ones is an absolute must! Lincoln managed to go ass over tit in the stream and unfortunately we didnt have any spare shoes in the car.
