SILVER SPRING, MD – The Nurses on Boards Coalition (NOBC), an organization committed to building healthier communities through the service of nurses on all types of boards, has announced today that Capella University has become a founding strategic partner.
NOBC's intent is to ensure that at least 10,000 nurses are on boards by 2020, as well as to raise awareness that all boards would benefit from nurses' unique perspectives to achieve improved health and efficient and effective health care systems at the local, state and national levels. NOBC was created in response to the landmark 2010 Institute of Medicine report on the need for nurses to take a greater role in America's increasingly complex health care system.
"We join our colleagues at the Nurses on Boards Coalition to support advocacy for the appointment of nurses to the highest level of governance in health care organizations and policymaking bodies," said F. Patrick Robinson, PhD, RN, FAAN, dean of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences at Capella University. "We are honored to support NOBC and its efforts to improve health and the quality and efficiency of our health care system."
"NOBC is pleased to partner with Capella University to provide greater reach to nurse leaders as they consider and prepare for board service. Their innovative approaches to education will provide new ways for nurse leaders to prepare and contribute as valuable board members on all types of boards," said Kimberly J. Harper, MS, RN, CEO, Indiana Center for Nursing; nursing lead, Indiana Action Coalition-National Future of Nursing Campaign for Action; and NOBC national co-chair.

50th Birthday Party – Moulin Rouge Theme
Our client was due to celebrate his 50th birthday and wanted a Moulin Rouge theme, giving us loads of scope to get creative! We were asked to arrange a party as good as, or better than his wife's 40th birthday bash, which we did a few years ago.
Excellent food and service is to be expected when you book an event with Dine – but our clients requested high quality hearty fare, which we certainly delivered with our delicious menu (read on for details). The event was hosted in a marquee on a local farm close to their home in Doncaster and it certainly was an evening for the memory books!
Hi Craig,
Wow wow wow…what a party!!!
I just want to say what a pleasure it has been working alongside you in organising my 50th party….you made it a stress free (for us!), a simple and an enjoyable journey.
Everything ran like clockwork on Saturday and everyone had a fantastic time….some a little too good including myself…I blame those whisky sours! Had loads of glowing compliments from the guests about all aspects of the night….marquee, food, entertainment and the overall organisation so thank you again. Even the sun came out!
Glad we went with Paloma as she was amazing…not just her singing but her engagement with the audience and quirky style!…Amelia is in love with her…hasn't washed her forehead where Paloma kissed her! Trevor was excellent and played the mood perfectly….a lovely bloke too!
Hope you were able to relax yesterday…sure you'll have needed a large glass of something to chill out!
I'm left with great memories. Thanks again and we'll be in touch when the next celebration is due…want to do it all again,
All the best,
Client name confidential
The party was on Saturday 18th May 2019 – guests were asked to arrive at 7pm.
Drinks and canapés were served on arrival.

Thank you so much to all of you who attended the rally and testified at the hearing yesterday! Your voices were heard, from Coalition board member Debby Dugan speaking at the beginning of the rally, all the way to the delivery of our "Say No To Roe" petition signatures to the Judiciary Committee at the end of the evening.
The press and legislators took notice, and we're posting written articles and video of the news coverage of the day on our Facebook page. We videoed most of the rally and testimony via Facebook live yesterday, and clips are available on Facebook for supporters to watch.
We want to draw your attention to one particular back and forth, covered by the New Boston Post, between State Representative Sheila Harrington and doctors from the Massachusetts Medical Society. Rep. Harrington exposed that the doctors were unfamiliar with the infanticide provision, but then once it was explained to them, they defended it certain circumstances. Please take a minute to click here and read the exchange.
Finally, the pro-life side brought out many of the "big guns" of our fight to testify and speak at the rally. For those of you on Facebook, we encourage you to like and share the videos of their speeches, and the graphics we've created quoting them, to keep spreading their message on social media beyond our rally. Help grow our movement by educating fellow voters about what's really in this legislation.
Again, thank you for all of you who came out yesterday, and those cheering and praying from home for our voices to be heard. We haven't won the battle, but we've made great progress thanks to the energy and dedication of the pro-life movement.

I first fell in love with Thessaloniki through the pages of a novel. The Thread by Victoria Hislop tells the story of several generations of a Greek family of fabric merchants but the real focus of the book is the city it is set in. The writer's strong connection to Thessaloniki shines through her vivid descriptions of the city; the steep hills and narrow alleys of its old town, its sweeping waterfront overlooking the Aegean Sea, its vibrant nightlife which buzzes with energy seven nights a week. I read the book a long time before I'd even begun travelling but Hislop's affinity for Greece's second biggest city was so convincing it always stuck in my mind as a place I might one day want to visit.
So when Paul and I were planning a trip to Greece last year I told him I wanted Thessaloniki to be on our itinerary. He was doubtful; he had never heard of it and wasn't sure if it was a place that would interest him (we love huge, frantic cities). I held firm though, with my reasoned argument of "I'd read a book about it once." But as our trip approached, I started to have creeping doubts. Paul was still convinced he wouldn't like it and his strong feeling began to rub off on me. I began to wonder if I'd make a mistake and dragged us off route to spend days of our precious holiday time in a place we were indifferent to. I read and reread the Lonely Planet guide description. There'didn't seem an enormous amount to do. I looked at day trips to nearby beaches we could do if we were bored and didn't like the city.
We were wrong (well I was right to begin with then wrong, Paul was just mostly wrong). We both completely fell in love with Thessaloniki. Our initial estimations were right; there is not an enormous amount of tourist attractions. But what there is to do is what we enjoy doing on our travels anyway; walking around and figuring out the identity of the city.
Thessaloniki has a unique setting. The entire city points towards the Aegean Sea. The waterfront is lined with bars and restaurants and a five kilometre esplanade right at the edge of the sea which locals use to stroll or cycle along from one end of the city to the other. On the hills at the back furthest away from the water is Ano Poli which translates as "upper town". It is the oldest part of Thessaloniki and the only area which survived the great fire of 1917. Between Ano Poli is smart modern streets, plazas, shopping drags, food markets and cocktail bars, with Roman ruins and Byzantine churches sprouting up in between.
Thessaloniki is beguiling. Its stunning coastal setting, gorgeous old town, ancient ruins, and vibrant nightlife make it an excellent choice for a European city break. It is far less touristy and expensive than similar coastal European cities. The food is to die for; Thessaloniki is known as Greece's gastronomic capital. And it has a fascinating history to read up on, playing a crucial part in the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, World War One and World War Two.
And to think we didn't want to go.
As I said before, there's not an enormous amount of touristy things to do in Thessaloniki; there's a few museums and lots of ancient ruins and churches to explore but not tons that will keep you busy. We simply wandered around, soaked up the vibrant atmosphere, surveyed the stunning views, and ate and drank. Here's what exactly what we did in Thessaloniki.
Strolled along the waterfront
The Aegean Sea runs right up to the edge of the esplanade which stretches along the waterfront of Thessaloniki (it's a bit disconcerting to have the water splashing at your feet as you walk past). The five kilometre esplanade makes for a very scenic walk with the rows of cocktail bars on one side and vast stretch of the sea on the other. It ends (or begins) with the White Tower, Thessaloniki's most famous landmark.
Explored Ano Poli
Ano Poli is the oldest part of Thessaloniki; the only area that surveyed the 1917 fire which destroyed the rest of the city. It is such a pretty area to wander around in, with traditional old houses set on steep hills, narrow alleyways and courtyard tavernas. Surrounding Ano Poli are the Byzantine fortress walls which date back to 209 AD. The fortress itself, Heptapyrgion, is situated right at the top and has a spectacular view of the entire city and the sea beyond.
Visited historical sights
Thessaloniki is filled with Roman and Byzantine churches, buildings and ruins. My favourite was the ruins of a Roman forum right in the centre of the city surrounded by a shopping drag and modern flats.
Ate delicious food
The food in Greece in general is to die for and the food in Thessaloniki is to die for a second time over. On the recommendation of our airbnb host we dined in Igglis, a gorgeous taverna in Ano Poli which has an outside area with tables under a canopy of leaves. We also dined in Rouga in the City Centre. Both meals were incredible. Other culinary highlights were Trigona which is a famous dessert shop which specialises in Trigona Panoramatos, a triangle shaped pastry filled with cream, and Koulouri Thessalonikis, a ring shaped bread sprinkled with sesame seeds.
Enjoyed the nightlife
Thessaloniki's nightlife is thriving; there are lots of bars catering to all different tastes including stylish cocktail bars, hip music bars, sports bars, Irish pubs, and lots more. Even though we were in Thessaloniki during the week the bars were always busy. What amused me was that as we walked home late at night the streets were still packed with groups of people sitting around on the streets themselves, chatting and drinking. Even on a Monday night at midnight! We quickly found our favourite bar, Four Seasons, which is down a tiny alleyway in the Valaoritou area east of the city.
Visited the city's murals
Thessaloniki had some really interesting street art and murals, the most interesting of which was this amazing mural showing the collapse of a Parthenon made of Euro coins. It was created by an a politically motivated street art organisation called BLU and of course referred to Greek's recent financial crisis.
Visited the food market
Kapani and Modiano are the two main markets which are situated in the city centre very close to each other. Modiano market was designed between 1922 and 1930 by the architect Eli Modiano who was from an important Jewish family from Thessaloniki, and Kapani is so old no one is quite sure how long it's been there (estimate is 1498). Both markets are fun place to wander around and check out the stalls selling spices, vegetables, cheese and olives.
Watched the sunset
The boardwalk at the waterfront near the White Tower offered a fantastic view of the sun setting over the Aegean Sea. The whole sky lit up pink and orange and the sun looked as if it was dipping directly into the water. It was clearly a well known spot as a crowd had gathered to watch this beautiful nightly event.
How much our trip to Thessaloniki cost
For both me and Paul:
Return flights from Athens to Thessaloniki (Ryanair): £71
Three nights in this Airbnb in Thessaloniki: £125

The Idaho fresh potato crop features strong quality and a mix of sizes for 2018, with Russet Norkotahs tending toward larger sizes and Russet Burbanks showing a mix of sizes.
Industry leaders reported increased acreage for processing but reduced acreage for fresh market potatoes.
"I've been all over the state the last few weeks. And I tell you that the quality looks really good this year," said Travis Blacker, industry relations director for the Idaho Potato Commission.
The majority of Idaho potatoes have been harvested under ideal conditions, said Steve Elfering, vice president of operations for Potandon Produce LLC, Idaho Falls, Idaho.
Rain in mid-October and temperatures forecast as low as 18 degrees on Oct. 14 could pressure late harvested fields. About 10 to 15 percent of the crop, mainly in the north end of growing regions, remained to be harvested as of Oct. 11, Elfering said.
"Quality seems to be good but there is kind of a mix of sizes," said Joe Esta, vice president of Wada Farms Marketing Group LLC, Idaho Falls.
"We've got good size in russet burbanks and some lots that are a bit smaller, but I think size is going to be about an average burbank crop," Esta said. "Norkotah seems to be slightly bigger this year, and we had really good growing conditions this summer with the heat."
Russet Norkotahs are typically marketed in heavier volume than Burbanks through January, after which time shippers transition to burbanks, Elfering said.
The trick for shippers will be to balance both varieties to meet demand, he said.
Jill Cox, sales manager and partner with Sun-Glo of Idaho Inc., Sugar City, Idaho, reported average yields and a medium size profile.
"There is not a lot of of 40s and 50s, which is music to my ears on the sales desk," Cox said.
The increased processing demand and reduced fresh acres could set up a firm price year for potatoes, he said, especially after the first of the year.
"(Processing demand) will take a lot of fresh supply off the market, so I would expect we will see a nice return to the grower this year," Elfering said.
Demand from processors keeps increasing, Cox said.
"Some of those growers have kind of jumped to that (processing side), so fresh acreage is less. I think we're setting ourselves up for a pretty good year."
Lamb Weston is adding a new potato processing line and McCain is opening up a new plant near Burley, Esta said.
Holiday demand for russet potatoes could receive an added push because damage to the North Carolina sweet potato crop was uncertain, Esta said.
While damage is reported variable in North Carolina sweet potato fields, some growing regions saw damage of 30 to 40 percent, Esta said.
The topic of how North Carolina's crop loss could change holiday demand for russets is a topic of discussion in Idaho, said Ralph Schwartz, vice president of sales and category management for Potandon Produce LLC.

Scala - Popularity and Use Grow
Created by bagwell on 2011-11-25. Updated: 2011-11-30, 14:33
In the January 2011 Technology Radar ThoughtWorks moved Scala into the 'Trial' category saying "We have witnessed great successes in the adoption of Scala. Consequently we have moved Scala into our Trial category". In July they position Scala moving towards the 'Adopt' category ahead of other emerging languages like Clojure and F#.
And there are over 60 very active Scala user groups world wide.
If the current trend continues Scala jobs are set to quadrupled over the next year. So companies are looking for many more Scala programmers and as a developer being Scala capable it seems you can get you up to a 20% better salary.
While in April 2011 the group at langpop.com ranked Scala as 29th which represented a 'normalization' of a collection of ranking methods. These are drawn from things like search engine results, job ads, book mentions, and so on.
The number of leading companies that are successfully using Scala for critical business applications has grown enormously. It is common knowledge that more companies like Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, the Guardian, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, UBS, HSBC and Trafigura are now using Scala. As a consequence, demand for Scala developers has grown dramatically while at the same time Scala has matured and spawned a solid support ecosystem. It's worth looking at some of the indicators to see how the world wide popularity and momentum continues to increase.

Consequently we have moved Scala into our Trial category". In July they position Scala moving towards the 'Adopt' category ahead of other emerging languages like Clojure and F#.
Community - Scala-Lang - Scala Days Conferences
Scala has a vibrant community that is still rapidly growing.
Three solid datapoint illustrate this growth, the visitors to this site, scala-lang.org, the participation at Scala Days conferences and user group activity.
Site visitors have grown from 25,000 to 130,000 visitors a month over the last two and a half years. In June this peaked at 170,000 visitors with the announcement of commercial support for Scala by Typesafe. While Scala downloads have grown from 6,000 to 30,000 a month in the same period, not including the dramatic growth in downloads from other sites like Maven Central and Scala-Tools typically used by production developers.
While Scala Days 2010, the first conference dedicated to the Scala, was attended by 160 people, the Scala Days 2011 conference attracted 280, at the same time more than doubling the commercial focused talks given.
And there are over 60 very active Scala user groups world wide.
Job Opportunity
Indeed.com gives a good picture of the United States Scala programming job postings numbers and the graph shows a factor of 10 growth over two years. Scanning the company advertising like VMWare, Hewlett Packard, or Foursquare give an insight into the number and variety of new companies investing in Scala skills.
An equivalent picture for the UK can be seen at itjobwatch. London is often considered a leading indicator for UK technology adoption. There, Scala ranks 23 in the category 'Programming languages' growing by a factor of 20 in the last two years and a factor of 4 last year. For every 30 Java jobs there is now 1 job needing Scala. A browse through the London companies advertising for people shows that there are really interesting Scala jobs at places like Morgan Stanley, UBS, zeebox and many other well known financial companies too. Check the job growth statistics.
If the current trend continues Scala jobs are set to quadrupled over the next year. So companies are looking for many more Scala programmers and as a developer being Scala capable it seems you can get you up to a 20% better salary.
Language Popularity Rankings
Various sources seem to rank Scala as being somewhere between the 13th and 29th most popular language while TIOBE curiously ranks it at 50 or more.
In September 2011 the team at Dataist.com used stackOverFlow questions and Projects on Github to position Scala as 13th.
While in April 2011 the group at langpop.com ranked Scala as 29th which represented a 'normalization' of a collection of ranking methods. These are drawn from things like search engine results, job ads, book mentions, and so on.
The curious case of TIOBE
TIOBE bases its popularity model on using a number of search engines with a standard structured search term +"languageX programming". So for Java this would be +"java programming" or Scala as +"scala programming". The results from the several search engines are weighted and combined to give the language ranking. The seemingly quite reasonable idea is that the different language communities use the phrase with a reported search frequency that is representational of the actual language popularity. Although others have attempted to point out some of the problems with the approach, for example, a while ago Tim Bunce blogged TIOBE or not TIOBE – "Lies, damned lies, and statistics", the flaws still remain.
For the two languages, Haskell and Scala this uniform approach fails to accomodate developers everyday language usage. The Haskell and Scala communities are twice as likely to use the term "programming in Haskell" or "programming in Scala" than "Haskell programming" or "Scala programming" respectively. While in the Java community "Java programming" is used ten times more frequently than "programming in Java". If you try googling using the search terms +"languageX programming" and +"programming in languageX" you readily see this difference reflected in the search results.
Adding the two results together or taking the maximum value before creating the ranking would seem to give a ranking better tuned to the everyday language use by developers. Paul Jansens, the owner of the TIOBE index, acknowledges these problems and may well provide a solution in the future.
Meanwhile if we apply this correction then both Haskell and Scala would be expected to move up in the rankings to be somewhere beween 18 and 25, and be more consistent with the other methods of ranking the languages.
Ranking methods that use total Web searches will also have a tendency to seriously under rank current popularity for more recent languages compared to older ones. A language may now be unused but still have a high ranking based on the "Web memory" effect. The method ranks the language based on its accumulated mentions rather than a period snapshot.
So yes, for the long established languages TIOBE seems a reasonable indicator of popularity. Though, alas poor Yorick, as Tim points out, there are good reasons to believe that for emerging languages it is simply wrong or it should be taken with a pinch of salt. Or should we say a salt pinch?

Are you sure that HSBC really used the Scala language? The references I found on the web say that it is using the Scala digital signage!

Scala Language is used at HSBC, confirmed by developers.

With regard to the graph on Indeed.com, that's very interesting, but I suspect that it significantly underestimates the shift toward Scala. Consider the UK Guardian: as I understand it, after a month of writing tests in Scala, they were so impressed that they decided to rewrite the product itself in Scala. (And that was before 2.8!) Did they immediately post reqs for a dozen Scala developers? I sincerely doubt it -- I'd guess that most if not all of their Scala developers are their old Java developers who were handed the staircase book and happily learned a better language.
The point is that we should expect a language which
- makes sense to use for the same kinds of apps as Java (e.g. large, concurrent server apps)
- requires little infrastructure change for those already committed to the Java ecosystem
- can be picked up easily by smart developers who already know Java
- allows an incremental shift from Java rather than a complete rewrite
- quickly makes developers more productive
to initially gain developers by converting existing in-house Java developers rather than by hiring new developers.
To a lesser extent this phenomenon is probably true of many other languages, so perhaps *all* of the numbers on Indeed.com should be taken with a grain of salt. But I suspect that this "hiring from within" phenomenon is more common with Scala than with most languages for the above reasons -- Scala is a great incremental replacement for Java that leaves you needing *fewer* developers, not more, so hiring stats are potentially misleading.
That said, I do think the *slope* of the graph is interesting. Just not the absolute numbers.
Re: Scala - Popularity and Use Grow

I think a pretty good indicator is the number of questions on stackoverflow. Java has currently 186,437 questions, Python 84,890, Ruby 35,543, Scala 6,988, Haskell 4,967, Groovy 3,252, F# 2,963 and Clojure 2,355. I think this shows clearly that TIOBE underestimates the popularity of Scala. Assuming that Zipf's law holds for programming languages and that stackoverflow is a good measure for popularity, Scala should have a rank around 27 given that Java is clearly rank 1.

StackOverflow is an interesting case as well. If you look at the Java questions, some of them are indeed about the Java language. Others are about the jvm -- garbage collection, compilation, classloading, command-line options, etc. -- or the tools -- javap, jarsigner, keytool, etc. -- or the ecosystem -- libraries, build tools, etc. Some portion of those questions are surely from folks doing work in other jvm languages.
This bias makes Scala and other minor jvm languages look less popular than they really are with respect to not only Java but also languages like Python and Ruby, languages whose names are associated with the runtime/tools/libraries used by their developers.
There's also the fact that Scala has been gaining popularity far more rapidly than Java but the number of questions with a particular tag is a cumulative measure. In effect we are trying to infer the relative popularities of languages from their integrals, when their derivatives are vastly different.

Great Moments in Travel History – April 2013
On April 3, 1888, the Hotel Brighton in Brooklyn, New York, was transported away from its beachfront location. The 3-story property was previously located on a beach that was continuously eroding, so much so that waves reached the doors of the hotel. The hotel was loaded onto 112 railroad cars and towed 600 feet inland.
The Fairmont Hotel San Francisco was about to open, when the city suffered a devastating earthquake on April 18, 1906. Fires from the quake consumed much of the property. The hotel was restored and opened exactly one year later.
On April 24, 1909, Wilbur Wright brought a photojournalist on a flight near Rome, where the first motion pictures ever shot in-flight aboard an airplane were filmed
The Saint Paul Hotel, dubbed "St. Paul's Million-Dollar Hotel," opened on April 18, 1910 in St. Paul, Minnesota.
On April 12, 1911, Pierre Pier made the first nonstop, passenger flight from London to Paris on, in a Blériot aircraft.
American pilot Harriet Quimby became the first woman to fly across the English Channel when she flew from Dover, England to Pas-de-Calais, France on April 16, 1912.
The Loughead brothers flew their F-1 seaplane from Santa Barbara, California to San Diego on April 12, 1918. The brothers would later go on to found Lockheed.
On April 6, 1924, four Douglas World Cruisers (named Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, and Seattle) begin the first successful flight around the world, departing from Sand Point near Seattle, Washington. The Seattle crashed in Alaska on April 30, and the Boston was irreparably damaged in the Atlantic Ocean, but the New Orleans and Chicago completed the journey, arriving back in Seattle on September 28, 1924.
On April 13, 1925, Henry Ford started the first commercial flights that flew on a regular schedule, transporting airmail between Detroit and Chicago. Earlier that year, he formed the Ford Air Transport Service and was awarded the Chicago-Detroit and Cleveland-Detroit airmail routes.
Varney Air Lines (later Continental Airlines) launched operations as an air mail carrier in the U.S. on April 6, 1926.

The Wrestling Booking Sheet
Jericho caught in middle of
power struggle
By Mike Mooneyham
Sunday, December 26, 1999
Chris Jericho made the
biggest decision of his professional career
earlier this year when he
turned down a lucrative offer from WCW in
favor of a chance to display
his considerable skills in the WWF.
Jericho, however, now finds
himself embroiled in controversy and the
target of what many consider
to be a behind-the-scenes power struggle.
A number of WWF performers
have complained about Jericho's in-ring
shortcomings, although the
28-year-old phenom has been dubbed one of
the industry's "can't-miss"
superstars. Some, pointing to injuries
suffered by Stevie Richards
and Chyna, have accused Jericho of working
overly stiff.
WWF sources say Hunter Hearst
Helmsley, who "went ballistic" when
Jericho accidentally gave
Triple H's real-life girlfriend Chyna a
swollen black eye, has been
behind the push to derail Jericho. It has
been speculated that
Jericho's problems with Helmsley stem from heat
with Helmsley's former Clique
buddy Kevin Nash in WCW. Sources point to
Nash as having been Bill
Goldberg's decision to veto a proposed angle
with Jericho because of
Jericho's size.
Jericho told The Post and
Courier earlier this year that he had his
theory on why that angle was
nixed, but in hindsight said it was a
blessing in disguise.
"It was a bad business
decision not to do it," said Jericho. "I don't
want to point any fingers. I
just knew at that point that it was time
to move on. One thing I've
learned after nine years in the business is
that whenever the time comes
to move on from a territory or company,
you know it. It was time to
move on."
Jericho received a major
build-up upon his arrival in the WWF, but his
stint so far in the
organization has been less than smooth. The
situation came to a head with
a recent meeting between Jericho and WWF
owner Vince McMahon. Jim Ross
denied widespread reports that there was
a heated confrontation
between the two, claiming no voices were raised
and no ultimatums were given,
but Jericho reportedly was ordered to
fall in line.
Jericho, though, has
downplayed reports of unrest.
"I have the utmost respect
for Vince McMahon and I'm looking forward
to having a long and
successful business relationship with him and the
WWF ... my company!" Jericho
recently posted on his Web site.
"As far as DX goes, I've had
some great matches with all of them in
the past (except for HHH whom
I haven't wrestled yet) and I can't wait
to work with all of them and
the rest of the WWF roster in the future."
Jericho, who is being turned
babyface despite a tremendous heel
response, reportedly has
agreed to let Degeneration X member X-Pac
(Sean Waltman) "coach" him.
"No matter what has been
said, Y2J has become a better wrestler in the
past four months and with
further help and guidance from everyone in
the company, I expect to get
better and more polished than ever," said
Jericho told The Post and
Courier earlier this year that he "gained
tenfold" by leaving WCW for
the WWF.
"In the long run it'll be
much better for me here," said Jericho,
whose WWF contract is heavily
incentive-based with a lower downside
guarantee than WCW was
offering. "And even if it was (a pay cut), I
wouldn't care. Money was
never the most important thing anyway. I was
much happier making 50 grand
a year in Japan and ECW than I was making
the money in WCW. I wouldn't
hesitate to do it again. "They (the WWF)
have been very responsive to
me. They put together a deal I was very
happy with. I didn't lose
anything by coming here."
Jericho said in the interview
that he tried to maintain a balance
between his life in the
business and his life outside it.
"A lot of things have changed
since I entered the business in 1990,"
said Jericho. "It's not even
so much the crazy party lifestyle that was
glorified and personified in
the past. There's definitely some guys who
enjoy that, but there's also
a good percentage who don't. Most of the
guys are pretty faithful to
their significant others, and there's not
really that much partying
going on. The guys have a few beers once in a
while, but everybody does.
"It's not like what it used
to be. It's a lot easier to be a
straight-living guy nowadays
because it's not just a regional thing
anymore. It's a national
television thing, and we have to perform every
night. When you're younger,
it's more fun to do all those things. But
when you get a little older,
it's no fun getting up every morning and
putting on a happy smile and
saying 'Hi guys, I'm here to perform,'
when you really feel like
crap. The novelty wears off after a while.
It's not as difficult as
people think. We have the bad apples, but it's
like that in any business.
We're much more attuned to what we do and
it's much more of physical
sport that you have to take of yourself to
perform. It's a personal
decision. It depends on the individual, but
for myself, I've never really
been that way, and I'm not going to start
now because I'm in the WWF."
Jericho said he took the
WWF's hard-core direction into account while
he was making his decision.
"Yeah, it was a concern. One
thing I understand, this is not your
wrestling of the '80s
anymore. This is more of a television drama with
wrestling as a backdrop. If I
were an actor on 'NYPD Blue' and there's
a junkie on there who rapes
his sister, it's just part of the show.
Wrestling has kind of gone
that way. For my character I never really
strayed in that direction. My
character is more a psychological
manipulator. It's pretty easy
to go out there and cuss and do those
types of things. I'd rather
go in the other direction and be creative
about it.
"If there was one (angle)
like that, I would just tell them and
basically not do it. They can
tell you what they want you to do, but if
you don't want to do it then
it's your choice. Some people just don't
mind. Other people don't have
the same kind of feelings I would have.
And some don't have the same
talents. They don't know how to entertain
the fans except for doing it
that way."
• Bill Goldberg suffered a
severe laceration to his forearm during an
angle Tuesday night at
Thunder tapings in Salisbury, Md.
Goldberg was injured during a
show-closing angle in which he punched
out the windshields of a
limousine carrying Vince Russo. Goldberg was
rushed to the hospital for
surgery and numerous stitches, but no
significant nerve damage was
reported. Goldberg will be out of action
for several weeks, placing
his scheduled appearance for New Japan Jan.

• Hunter Hearst Helmsley
suffered a hyperextended knee during a
run-through the day of his
Armageddon pay-per-view match with Vince
McMahon. Triple H is expected
to win the WWF title from Big Show Monday
night on Raw in Greensboro to
set up a showdown with Mick Foley at the
Royal Rumble.
• Matt Hardy suffered a
broken nose and cheekbone Monday night on Raw.
• WCW's Starrcade PPV failed
to give Nitro a significant bump last
week in the Monday night
ratings. Raw bested Nitro, 5.83-3.20, and won
head-to-head by a 5.83-2.74
The Bret Hart-Bill Goldberg
title match drew a 3.59, although most of
those points came during the
11-minute overrun in which six of those
minutes went unopposed. The
Kane-Big Show bout drew a 6.08 for Raw's
five-minute overrun period.
• WCW issued an apology in
the wake of strong language used on last
week's edition of Nitro. The
statement said the network's delay booth
operator did not report to
work Monday evening and that the network has
taken corrective measures to
ensure a similar incident does not happen
Both Kevin Nash and Bret Hart
used colorful language in their
interviews, although a delay
operator reportedly was present during
Hart's promo.
The WWF issued a similar
apology the previous week when Miss Kitty
(Stacey Carter), the
real-life girlfriend of Jerry Lawler, bared her
breasts on the Armageddon
The WWF statement read:
"During the World Wrestling Federation's TV-14
rated pay-per-view, titled
Armageddon, on Sunday, Dec. 12, 1999, an
overzealous Miss Kitty
flashed her breasts for less than one second in
the Four Corner Evening Gown
Pool Match for the WWF Women's Title. The
WWF censors immediately
placed a towel on her chest. The WWF apologizes
for the unauthorized
It might be noted that Sgt.
Slaughter was conveniently standing right
next to her when the incident
happened, and covered her up immediately
with a towel. The
"inadvertent" action also set up the next segment
with Mae Young stripping down
to her bra and panties.
The WWF placed a black bar
across Kitty's naked breasts on the
pay-per-view replay.
• The "Powers That Be"
gimmick (the angle used by new WCW bookers
Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara)
may be phased out, although there
reportedly is a
behind-the-scenes "Powers That Would Like To Be"
consisting of J.J. Dillon,
Kevin Sullivan, Craig Leathers and Annette
Yothers. The latter two
production chiefs were reprimanded by Russo
upon his arrival and have
been in the WCW doghouse ever since. Dillon
and Sullivan, however, have a
close working relationship with new
executive vice president Bill
• Bruno Sammartino, the top
draw for the old WWWF during the '60s and
'70s, has expressed interest
in an offer to join WCW.
• Ron and Don Harris have
dropped their Creative Control gimmick and
are now portraying bikers
similar to their WWF role as DOA.
• New WCW character Crobar,
who has formed an alliance with David
Flair and Daphney Unger, is
really Devon Storm. Flair and Daphney's
characters are based on the
characters from the movie "Natural Born
• The Republican Party in
North Carolina has expressed a strong
interest in having Ric Flair
run for that state's gubernatorial post in
four years.
• The actor playing Tony
Marinera's dad is Hulk Hogan crony and "Oz"
star Chuck Zito.
• Steve Austin's surgery has
been moved up to Jan. 11, and the WWF is
holding out some hope that he
could be ready for Wrestlemania if
surgery goes well and the
prognosis is favorable. The scheduled main
event at this point remains
Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. The Rock.
• Roddy Piper suffered a torn
bicep on a recent edition of Nitro, but
will continue to make
appearances for WCW.
• Scott Hall is expected to
be out a couple of months due to knee
• Sting is working an injury
angle as he takes time off from WCW.

considerable controversy
during the past year, have both been fired by
ECW. Also released was Axl
• Shawn Stasiak (Sean
Stepich) was fired by the WWF for company
violations, including
secretly recording other wrestlers' conversations
backstage and on the road.
Stasiak, who appeared in the
WWF as Meat, is the son of the late former
WWWF champ Stan Stasiak.
• Shawn Michaels, who has
expressed interest in making some ECW
appearances, is not expected
to be on ECW's pay-per-view Jan. 9. His
wife, Rebecca, is expecting
their first child any day.
• A number of media sources
are now taking notice of Mick Foley's
best-selling "Have a Nice
Day" book.
A recent issue of Variety
acknowledges "the Mankind phenomenon shatters
the preconception of tweedy
lit types who view wrestling audiences as
attention-deficit juveniles
who would never consider plunking down $26
for a hardcover book."
• "Dynamite Kid" Tom
Billington details his life as a wrestler in the
recently released "Pure
Billington, who is now
wheelchair-bound, discusses his drug
experimentation that could
have led to his premature exit from the
"My shoulder started to give
me some real pain, so I started using
cortisone, injecting it
myself, straight into my shoulder just before a
match," he wrote. "The
effects lasted about half an hour, but when they
wore off after the match, oh,
I felt it. Years later I found out you
weren't supposed to take
cortisone more than a few times a year because
it causes deterioration of
your tendons and ligaments and bones."
Billington also wrote that
the late Junkyard Dog (Sylvester Ritter) was
the first person to give him
drugs of any kind (steroids) and said he
injected former partner Davey
Boy Smith in his butt with milk as a rib.
"Cocaine became a habit,"
wrote Billington. "I can still remember the
first time I tried it. We
were sitting in a hotel room right next to
the airport in Miami, Fla. -
me, my brother-in-law Bret Hart and
Junkyard Dog. Junkyard Dog
said, 'Hey, man, try this.' And he got a
pipe and a block of coke and
gave it to me. I had a smoke, and
straight-away - bump - I was
high. That was it. We spent all night
smoking crack."
• "Dr. Death" Steve Williams
addressed his split with Jim Ross and the
WWF on a recent edition of
Ringside Wrestling Talk radio show.
"Jim Ross tells everybody
that he was a good friend of mine," said
Williams. "I've worked in
Japan for the last 10 years. I had a lifetime
job. Jim Ross called me and
asked me to come to the WWF. I came down
and worked out a great deal.
But I tore my hamstring in the Brawl for
All. Jim Ross got a lot of
beef out of that deal. All of the boys said,
'Your boy got knocked out by
Bart Gunn.' It was a lucky punch. With a
torn hamstring I was beating
the guy, but we're not going to cry over
spilled milk. But it
happened, I rehabbed it and came back, and was
feeling real good."
The WWF, however, had
different plans for Williams following the Brawl
for All embarrassment.
"All of a sudden they had me
walking out with Jim Ross, rubbing his
shoulders and looking like a
masseuse," said Williams. "It wasn't the
real 'Dr. Death.' Here I am
at home, and they told me I was going to be
on the UPN channel, and it
sounded like another break. Time passes, and
all of a sudden I was asked
to go to Japan for a lower company, FMW,
and I didn't choose to go
there. Next day I got a fax saying I had
breached my contract because
I said I wouldn't like to go. But I've got
a nice lawsuit here with
these guys. I had two years with them, and I
plainly got screwed where the
sun don't shine."
Williams, a longtime star
with All Japan, said appearing for another
Japanese promotion would have
damaged his standing with All Japan.
"If I had gone over there to
FMW, I would have lost my honor and
respect with All Japan," said
Williams. "If anybody knows anything
about the Japanese history, I
am the Hulk Hogan, the Goldberg, the
'Stone Cold' Steve Austin in
Japan. I am a competitor, a world
heavyweight champion, if a
company wants to get behind me. And Japan is
totally behind me."
Ross, who is senior vice
president of talent relations in the WWF, said
in a recent interview that he
believed Williams probably still had heat
with him over his release.
"Unfortunately in my role,
not only do you hire people, but you have to
be the point person of
letting people go. In this business sometimes
you're not forgiven because
you tell the truth and you have to deliver
less than positive news. I
was the one who had to deliver the news to
Doc that there were no
creative plans for him here, and there was
nothing here for him at that
point. Doc's not a bad person, he's a good
man. I think he was very
frustrated about the situation he was in, and
I'm sure he holds some
animosity toward me because of the way the
situation played out."
"Jim Ross isn't even the one
who contacted me," said Williams. "He
didn't even call or contact
me to let me know that I, as they claimed,
breached my contract. I got a
fax from their lawyer saying I had
breached the contract. I
tried to call Jim, but the boys in the office
said he couldn't be bothered.
I tried to call him at his house, and I
was put on the answering
machine, or his wife would say he's not there.
I've contacted my lawyers,
and they've been on top of this thing. Now
we're playing letter games
until it gets to court.
"What's really sad is when
your best friend tells you that he wants to
take you out the environment
you've been in the last 10 years so you
can see your son grow up.
I've got a 7-year-old boy, my pride and joy,
and Jim told me I could watch
my son grow up. That hit a home run and I
said, `OK, Jim, 'here's my
money deal, this is great, this is what I
want.' They came up with it,
and I was set to watch my kid grow up,
only having to work 12 to 15
days a month. All of a sudden they want a
shoot match, and here we are.
But I'm going to get it either way, I've
made money in this business
and saved a lot of money. You won't see me
at 50 years old in this
business. (One day) I'm going to have my own
fishing show."

I hear a lot of people
complain about how much The Big Show sucks and
how wrong it is that he has
the belt. Well, to put it in easy terms,
all you people are right.
Rewind to that fateful WWF Valentine's Day
PPV when Big Show first
showed up. I saw him pop out from under that
ring and I was cheering for
him! Why? I will cheer for almost any top
mid-carder that jumped ship
from WCW to WWF (except Goldberg and
Mysterio, those guys suck).
It's just rad to see that the
guys that WCW could have done a lot with
leave to the promise land.
Well, I felt The Big Show was over with the
fans and then when he turned
face and was with the Union, he got pretty
good pops. That time was a
better time to give Big Show the belt, the
fans would have actually
cheered for him, all of them would have
When everything was going
great for Show they stick him with the
Undertaker!?!? I understand
they needed heels but they had a star that
could have been on the heels
of the Rock, but all of a sudden there was
just no reaction from the
crowd. Why? Because him and Takers angle (I
am the master teaching you)
wasn't working. Taker goes out and then
next thing you know Big
Show's dad has cancer. Yeah, that angle worked
really well, and then they
give him the belt!? It just didn't work
out, they should have given
Jericho the belt; I mean if you want to
give it to someone you
wouldn't expect, Triple H wins at Survivor
Series, comes out the next
night and claims it was too easy destroying
those two and he lays out an
open challenge for later that night.
Later that night he hits the
ring, and then the countdown begins. I
guarantee Jericho could have
gotten more cheers. Hell, Godfather could
have, Steve Blackman could
have. What I'm saying is he needs to lose
the belt quick and then take
a break and help Vince think of a new
angle for him.

Bond: Quantum of Solace plot revealed
You know sometimes you get a feeling about something that happens in the early days of pre-production, a feeling that can often turn out to be wrong. I got a similar feeling with Casino Royale to begin with – the whole reboot, forget the past, mix up timelines, drop gadgets, everything was worrying and then it turned out fantastically.
So the news that the title for the 22nd Bond film is Quantum of Solace has me a little concerned, and if they hadn't been so good with Casino Royale, I'd be thinking this was looming towards a bit of a joke.
I just don't like the title. It doesn't sound like a James Bond film, it doesn't sound like a spy thriller, or even an action film, it sounds like pure science fiction. However that's the title for the film and there are some interesting titbits doing the rounds.
First up the title announcement arrives from Empire (thanks to jun6lee from Filmstalker Readers) with the news that the title actually comes from an Ian Fleming story which isn't a Bond story, in fact it's a short story where Bond is attending a boring dinner, so boring in fact that he makes a remark to get the guests riled up, and one of them, the Governor of the Bahamas, returns with a tragic love story about one of the dinner guests.
Wow, that's not a Bond story at all, so perhaps they are taking the barest of notions from it for a plot device at some point, or just the silly title, Quantum of Solace.
In another Bond story from Empire we hear from the various stars that this is a revenge tale, and that Olga Kurylenko's character, Camille, leads Bond to Dominic Greene played by Mathieu Amalric, who is the man behind a South American coup in order to control one of the world's most important natural resources. He's also the man that can tell Bond more about what happened to his love Vesper. Camille, like Bond, is after revenge.
Gemma Arterton is playing Agent Fields, an MI6 agent who is working in Bolivia.
Daniel Craig also says through Empire that the title does mean something in relation to the film, that this film will have a bit more of the standard Bond feel with some big lair sets and such, and that Bond will be misbehaving more. Instead of being tortured, this time Bond is stronger and harder, giving out the hard treatment rather than taking it.
Moneypenny and Q are still not back, so I'm wondering how far they really will go back to the classic Bond, I'm hoping not very far at all and they keep going in the Casino Royale direction. I think they're onto such a great new character and style for Bond, and they've turned me around. I would prefer that they didn't try and shoehorn it back towards the old Bond, wouldn't you?

Last week a teacher said they are having a women's day celebration.
I later spoke with my friend Danielle and she confirmed that I would need my passport and bathing suit. She also said we would be spending the night.
Yesterday–Saturday we piled on to a huge tour bus with the women from my neck of the town. The other teachers who live closer to school were on a different bus.
I had no idea what I was in store for.
We set out leaving the hustle of Long Hua for greener pastures.
Forty minutes down the road we already had to stop for a W.C. break and vomit relief. So China.
Back on the bus a lady came down the aisle feeding us peanuts with a bird on her shoulder. She brought her parakeet along for our bumpy trip. She told us that the bird, Kui Kui–meaning Sunflower, will only drink tea and not water. I told her he's definitely a China bird then. She spoke perfect English and said her husband and two boys live in the States. I was puzzled as to why she was our tour guide. She asked me if I read the Bible and I said 'no,' trying to look as uncomfortable as possible. She asked me if I knew what the Jehovah's Witnesses were and I said, 'yes,' she said they came to her house with their Bible and have taught her all about it, said she attends a bible study with her bird and invited me. I politely declined. Later I would see her passed out on the bus after a heavy tour with the bird bouncing on her back nibbling on her loose articles, taking poops on her back. 'Feed the Birds, Tuppence a Bag.'
We found ourself flying through country roads and villages. The Chinese countryside sounds very picturesque. However the countryside I found begged to differ. While some views were breathtaking the trash is what did it for me.
Trash is dumped everywhere. Large quantities of it. Seeing this made me very sad. I realized I would never litter again. We flew past chickens running out of the road from being hit by our mammoth tour bus. The chickens were roaming broken glass, dust, and rubbish. I was really hoping this wasn't where most of the chicken I eat comes from. The same goes for the oxen we saw as well.
We came upon a shack with blankets for windows. Someone was poking his giant snout out.. a gargantuan PIG! It was the funniest site.
Finally we made it. To what seemed to be an organic park and farm. It was nestled in the crook of the mountain. We hiked through fields of flowers and vegetables. I wore the wrong shoes but it all worked out. Brides got wedding photos taken with their groom in a field of flowers and dirt.
We did have a yummy lunch full of fresh fruit and vegetables straight from the farm. Pumpkin, eggplant, cabbage, and tomatoes were some of the staples.
We hopped back on the bus for more fun.
Our next stop was Nine Dragons Mountain–named just for me..a girl can dream. Each mountain was one of the nine dragons. We went through a temple and Danielle showed me how to think of something happy with incense in hand, bow your head 3 times and place the incense in the altar. Firecrackers were being set off constantly, I could have sworn it was Chinese New Year all over again. We didn't see any monks but the temple was beautifully situated and the sweet perfume of incense permeated throughout.
Finally our last stop was our hot spring and hotel resort. When the teachers said hot spring I really thought they were talking about a naturally occurring spring that so happened to be warmed by sulfur. I was wrong.
While cruising up the mountain and getting glimpses of the sites I noticed a complex called, 'Mercury Composites Technology Corporation.' Outside, it had the American flag, Hong Kong flag, and Chinese flag. It's the first time I've seen the American flag since I've been home. It was a very happy site.
We blew through a village and up a valley to the resort. Surrounding the resort were mansions! Beautiful Chinese mansions! We were about an 1.5 hours from Shenzhen so it may have been wealthy Shenzhen business peeps.
Danielle and I shared a hotel room and it was beautiful. We had a rotund two person bathtub, a sitting room, and two fresh beds to lay our weary heads.
First we had a rest. I walked around the facilities to scope everything out. During my walk I realized it was not a naturally occurring hot spring but more or less a water park with water slides and tons of different heated pools!
We had dinner and then after we went hot springin'.
Danielle and I forgot that we had to have both our keycards to get into the hot spring so while all of our friends were getting ready to go into the locker room we had to trudge back to our hotel room. The lot outside was empty and low and behold Danielle found a 100RMB note! We both shrieked! We said our happy thoughts at the temple we wished at had brought us so much luck! It was really sweet and such a find!
Some teachers brought their children along so the children could have an experience outside Shenzhen. I thought this was really nice. Some of my students even came. Danielle and I found a nice spot in the pool and some of our Junior 1 boys tried attacking us with water.
It was the funniest thing seeing these pools packed with Chinese. No lifeguards in site. Men were puffing on cigarettes while wading into the pools. With the lights being so dim, anyone could drown and nobody would be able to tell. They even had belly-dancing and African folk-dances. I don't know what it is but Chinese people absolutely love African 'folk-dancing.' It was fun.
Back in the locker room of course there wasn't a bathroom. The bathroom was located at the other end of the pools and the locker room. The Chinese architecture here makes so much sense it's ridiculous.
Danielle and I looked for our friends we'd been galavanting through the countryside with but to no avail found them. We soaked for an hour and then headed back to our hotel room. A warm fresh bed never felt so nice.
We woke up about 8AM and headed to breakfast. After breakfast I had to have a bath especially with it being the creme deluxe of bathtubs. It was a very nice soak and soon after we packed our bags and left our resort for the next adventure: Turtle Island.
When we arrived at the South China Sea they called this particular beach 'Turtle Island.' I thought for sure I would see huge turtles roaming sandy beaches just like the Galapagos. No giant turtles but giant waves and sea spray! That was enough for me. I hadn't seen the ocean in almost a year. Feeling the water and sand in my toes revitalized my blood. Mountains loomed over the South China Sea. When we arrived it was overcast just as we departed the sun peaked out. It was absolutely beautiful.
We trudged back up the hill to the gift shop and Danielle treated all 4 of us friends to yummy ice cream since she had found some lucky money. We hiked the most jagged stairs to a indoor house of sea turtles. Here were my big turtles. Although they didn't look as whimsical as I'd imagined and more or less looked dreadful and depressed.
Finally we finished up hopped back on the bus. Went to lunch at our resort then headed for home.
Five minutes after being on the bus it was dead silent. Everyone passed out including me. I knew I was in Longhua when I awoke and outside my window I saw a man with a nice piece of luggage. He was taking a rock and beating the wheels and the sliders out of the suitcase.

The winners and losers of Switzerland's Airbnb boom
The number of people renting Airbnb accommodation in Switzerland has tripled in the past three years to more than 900,000, according to the home rental platform. Not everyone, however, is happy with the trend.
Airbnb's Travel Report Switzerland 2018 said growth was being driven by greater penetration in rural areas: demand in popular alpine tourist areas was twice as strong as in cities over the past 12 months. The resorts of Unterseen, Crans-Montana and Scuol registered the proportionally highest growth in bookings.
The majority of hosts are private individuals who rent out their rooms or homes to business travellers or tourists for short periods – on average 3.4 nights.
+ A closer look at the Airbnb footprint in the Alps
+ How does Switzerland regulate Airbnb?
However, Airbnb, which was founded in 2008, is no longer just about individuals with a spare room. This hostel in Interlaken, the Backpackers Villa Sonnenhof, is also benefiting from the trend:
That said, Airbnb has not been welcomed by everyone in the hotel industry. The owner of the Hotel Beausite in Unterseen blames Airbnb for decreased bookings:
Airbnb in Switzerland
A total of 35,800 accommodations are currently available on Airbnb throughout Switzerland, up from 14,000 in 2015, according to Airbnb's Travel Report Switzerland 2018.
The average age of guests booking on Airbnb in Switzerland is 38 and the average group size is 2.4 people.
The largest number of guests in 2018, almost 200,000, came from within Switzerland. Second and third place went to travellers from the United States and neighbouring France.End of insertion

Sony unveils lightning-fast RX10 IV superzoom camera
Sony unveils lightning-fast RX10 IV superzoom camera
Unless you're an incredibly devoted photographer, lugging around a DSLR and a ton of different lenses would probably be the last thing you would want to do while traveling. Sure, you might have a couple of great photos to admire at the end of the day, but one thing is for certain – your arms and back will be very sore.
This is where Sony's new RX10 IV superzoom camera comes in. You see, the RX10 IV is equipped with a 24-600mm (35mm equivalent) f/2.4-f/4 ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens, which means you can capture expansive landscape photos and also close-up shots of a parrot perched on top of a tree without needing to swap lenses.
In typical ZEISS lens fashion, the lens of the RX10 IV features a super ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element and ED aspherical lenses to minimize chromatic aberration, as well as a ZEISS T* coating to reduce lens flare and ghosting. It even has 4.5 stops of optical image stabilization to mitigate shakes and image blur – especially when you're zoomed all the way out to 600mm.
But an impressive lens is not the only thing that the RX10 IV has up its sleeves, as it's also endowed with a 1.0-inch 20.1MP Exmor RS CMOS stacked image sensor that's hooked up to a BIONZ X image processor. This setup effectively allows the RX10 IV to have a continuous shooting speed of 24fps, and an autofocus speed of 0.03 seconds.
Of course, it should go without saying that the RX10 IV is capable of recording 4K (3,840 x 2,160) and super slow motion videos as well, which you can view on its 3.0-inch touch-sensitive LCD screen with WhiteMagic technology.
The dust- and moisture-resistant RX10 IV will be available in the U.S. in October for US$1,700 (~RM7,147). No word on local availability as of yet, but considering that its predecessors have managed to find their way onto our shores, you can likely expect the RX10 IV to follow suit.

Supplied with full instructions.
Watch the video below to see how it works.
£25.00 + VAT (£30.00 Inc VAT)
A simple, durable, hobby grade punch and die hand tool to fit our 40mm curtain eyelets in fabric.
Supplied with full instructions.
Watch the video below to see how it works.
Roger (verified owner) –
Good quality product, made altering our heavy duty curtains easier. Well worth the money highly recommend this product.
Tish Taylor (verified owner) –
this is so well made it looks like it should be on display, and it works perfectly.
pamela (verified owner) –
Perfect service, advisory phone call just to check I had the correct equipment for the job. Ordered the fitting tool, easy to use and my curtains look great.
Highly recommend Hanolex
Joss Woolf (verified owner) –
Although the cutting tool I bought at the same time didn't work at all, this closing tool is just the job for 40mm eyelets. Four hefty blows with my large hammer for each eyelet is all it took.
hanolex –
Hi Joss, Thanks for your comments we've sold lots of these and there is a knack to using them as well taking into consideration the type of hammer and surface on which they are struck against we would be more than happy to help if you're struggling to use the cutting tool.
Angela (verified owner) –
Perfect tool for fitting the eyelets into my curtains.
I didn't order the hammer, as we already own a rubber mallet. It took quite a hammering to fit the eyelets (I'm a weakling) but that might be due to the mallet I used and is certainly nothing to do with the eyelets or the fitting tool. End result: the curtains look great. I can't imagine how I could have possibly attached the eyelets without this tool. Definitely recommend it.
Sarah (verified owner) –
A meaty well made product that does the job. Needs a fair bit of force to close the eyelet halves but achievable with a heavy hammer! Delivered promptly. Excellent customer service
Maxine Howe –
I didn't order the hole-cutting tool as I'd previously cut the holes with scissors using eyelet tape as a guide. I'd also used plastic eyelets before from Dunelm – what a mistake! They came off within days! So I ordered the 40mm brushed gunmetal curtain eyelets from Hanolex and this hand fitting tool. Absolutely brilliant! Quick delivery. Easy to use with my own heavy mallet on very thick upholstery material. The curtains were sorted and back up in 15 minutes and look amazing. So glad I bought this and I'll never buy shop eyelet curtains ever again!
Stuart Wood (verified owner) –
Speedy service and a fantastic product. Absolutely delighted with how easy it is to use.
Rosie B –
Arrived promptly and is a good quality item. I didn't purchase the hole cutting tool, but found I still had great results by cutting the hole with small needlework scissors. Purchased the chrome 40mm eyelets and these are great quality, far superior than any I found in a shop. End result was very professional.
Kamila (verified owner) –
Quick delivery and very good quality, easy to use tool. I am very pleased with the results.
louise mullins (verified owner) –
Very impressed with the service, speed of delivery and quality of the product. Really pleased with the results.
Amarjit Kaur Virk (verified owner) –
I can't explain how happy & excited I was. I had a message from my son that delivery will be at 11 AM but it came 10 AM. I had phoned a few places & I searched online,only Hanolex was the place I got everything (hand fitting tool & eyelets) very cheap as other places were very expensive.I was making the curtains & my son was fixing the eyelets.He was really enjoying & it didn't take time at all only 5 minutes,whole curtains eyelets were fitted.I wish I have to make more curtains.I'll highly recommend other customers go with Hanolex.
Jean Lonsdale (verified owner) –
Used in conjunction with the hole cutter this is a first class piece of kit. Simple to use and professional finish. Was glad we stumbled across your web site looking for hole cutters.
Carol –
Fast delivery and item is excellent quality made 2 sets of lovely curtains with this and the brass rings
Anne Campbell (verified owner) –
Bought the hole cutter and the hand fitting tool along with a lot of eyelets and have converted many pairs of my favourite curtains to eyelets The instructions for use were very simple and very clear.
Extremely good quality and if you use it a few times very good value.
Why did I not know about this years ago?……..you must advertise your wares more strongly…….
everyone deserves to know about them. Top class tools.
Diane (verified owner) –
Easy to use tool – makes the job much easier :-)
john phillips (verified owner) –
Good easy to use tool makes a good job, as it says, of setting eyelets in orange waterproof and strong sail cloth. This was for making a sail cover and side screens in garden sitting area. Very pleased with quality.
Y Moynan –
Whole process was very professional. I'm very very happy! I bought 40mm and 25mm tools and they works perfectly and results is professional. They shipped super fast to USA and customer support answered my 100 questions patiently. Thank you so much hanolex team!
Caroline (verified owner) –
Very good quality tool provided the mallet is heavy enough
Lisa (verified owner) –
Brilliant item, would definitely recommend. Professional results and really easy to use. Did not buy the cutter, used scissors instead and that was fine. Great service ordered on bank holiday Monday and it arrived on the Wednesday. If you want to put eyelets in your curtains this is what you need.
Adrian (verified owner) –
Impressed with the service, speed of delivery and this item. It's incredibly heavy and rugged; in a good way. It's going to make our lives (here at Bedford Alterations) a lot easier.
Julie (verified owner) –
Really excellent prioduct, I am not that strong but I managed to use it really easily on heavy canvas curtains with cotton lining and buckram tape. The eyelets look very professional and solid. Well worth the purchase
Evelyn (verified owner) –
Excellent tool. I had not made eyelet curtains before, just pleated tops so was quite apprehensive! The tool is so easy to use, just as the video demonstrates. Took about ten blows with the hammer, but the end result is amazing! 40mm is good size for a 35mm pole. Very fast delivery too.
Kulvinder (verified owner) –
I was originally thinking of getting the larger 50mm or 66mm but I'm glad I didn't! This size is perfect for eyelet curtains and is the same size as the curtains you buy from the main retailers.
The tool is of very high quality and is easy to use. The final finish is exceptional!!! I will definitely be making more handmade curtains for my home!
Great value for money and I would recommend this product to anyone.
Kev (verified owner) –
Just the tool for the job. It was cheaper to buy than make (I'm an engineer) Does take some hitting without the correct hammer but gave the perfect result. Purchase the hammer if you have a lot to do. Great customer service
Kathy –
Very pleased with service and product, only problem was |I didn't realise that I needed to order eyelets seperately but when i did they arrived in 2 days, great service will shop with you again.
joan (verified owner) –
Great item bought the full set great quality, looking forward to using it. Would recommend this company very good to deal with.
joan (verified owner) –
Great item good quality, looking forward to using it. Would recommend this company very good to deal with.
Zuzana (verified owner) –
Great price, product seems to be a very good quality. Have added a few eyelets to interlined curtains so far, it is as easy as it looks in the video. The finish is amazing, can't tell the difference between eyelets on shop-bought curtains and our ones.
The customer service with Hanolex is outstanding, they kept me updated at all times and the items got delivered very quickly as well.
Julia (verified owner) –
Great price for a quality product,Great traceable delivery service, *****
