Big deal. It's just a bunch of hot air
I'd love to go and shoot this event! I was watching a special on the Weather Channel this morning about the Albuquerque Box. It is pretty interesting how the weather plays a role in the flight patterns. Its worth looking up if you are not familiar.

"What will be new tomorrow is the references to our partners, people that helped, places that were willing to hold prisoners," said Sen. Richard Burr. The long-awaited report comes out on Tuesday.
WASHINGTON — The incoming chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee sharply criticized the findings of a long-awaited interrogation report to be released by Senate Democrats on Tuesday.
North Carolina Republican Sen. Richard Burr said information contained in the report about interrogation techniques used during the Bush era are not new or unknown. What is new in the report, Burr said, was information on countries and partners who helped the U.S. with prisoners at the time.
"What will be new tomorrow is the references to our partners, people that helped, places that were willing to hold prisoners," he told reporters on Monday. "There's nothing they are going to glean from the standpoint of what the American response was. This is a report that will really expose a lot of the cooperation we have around the world."
Burr said negotiations over what will be redacted are ongoing but he feared that enemies of the U.S. would "connect the dots" to figure out key pieces of information.
"If anybody can connect the dots and from this derive who a person or country was then we've done serious damage to that country or person," he said.
While the White House says it is prepared for the report's release, press secretary Josh Earnest said on Monday that "the administration has taken the prudent steps to ensure that the proper security precautions are in place at U.S. facilities around the globe."
Burr said that he is hopeful there will not be any kind of attack in response to what's in the report but if it did it will be "the direct result of releasing this report," he said.


Creating and updating a Workflow involves adding items to, and removing items from, the Workflow Palette. Items can be either Nodes, Transitions or Transition Names. Typically a User adds Nodes and then connects them with Transitions. Along the way they configure their Nodes and Transitions by assigning names, descriptions and other configuration details.
Note: The below options are not available if the Workflow designer is in Edit Layout Mode.
1) Convert to Select Mode. This is the default mode and allows you to select items from Workflow Palette and add them to the Workflow Canvas.
3) Click once on the Canvas where you want your new Start Node to appear.
4) Configure your new Node by providing a name a description and any other options available. Although the Workflow Designer automatically creates a name, it is a good idea to create a more meaningful name.
Note: If you add an Action or Task Node to the Canvas you are also expected to select a Configuration from the Config tab.
Note: You can also assign a Config to an Action or Task Node or Delete the Node by right-clicking on the Node when it is selected.
1) Click on the Transition button, either in the Control Bar or in the Workflow Pallet.
2) Click once on the Node you would like the Transition to start from. This will disable all Nodes which do not currently support being linked to from the start Node. This will help you identify which Nodes are available for you to connect your transition to.
3) Click once on the Node you would like the Transition to end at.
4) Once you've added your Transition, revert to Select mode and select your new Transition by clicking on it.
Alterely, simply press your escape key.
5) Configure your new Transition by adding a name and description. Although the Workflow Designer automatically creates a name, it is a good idea to create a more meaningful name.
Note: You can switch back to Select Mode at any time by pressing your escape key.
Note: You will notice that if a Transition has a name it will be displayed next to the Transition on the Canvas. This item is referred to as a Transition Name. The Transition Name can be highlighted in its own right and dragged around to make it more readable. If you delete this item, then the name belonging to the Transition is set to null.
Note: When assigning a name to a Node or a Transition, the Workflow Designer will not allow you to set a name that is the same as an existing Node or Transition in this Workflow.
3) Click the Delete button in the Control Bar.
4) The item will be removed from the Workflow Canvas.
Note:You can also delete any highlighted item (Node, Transition, Transition Name) by right-clicking on it and selecting delete.
Note: If you delete a Node then all Transitions and Transitions Names directly connected to it are also deleted.
Note: You can also delete highlighted items by pressing your Delete key.


An artist chooses from among things to create his or her art. The painter chooses paints, mixes them and chooses something to put them on; the musician chooses sounds, instruments, technique and a million other things; the writer chooses words; the photographer chooses a camera, lens, film or digital, printing–traditional darkroom or digital printer. Each of these creators of a work of art chooses from an infinite palette, making infinitely many choices along the way, constantly. Likewise, an engineer chooses from among infinitely many choices when designing something; an interior decorator does the same. An architect does also. When a person landscapes his or her yard, many choices are also made.
We are constrained, however, by our training, our background, our culture, our own limitations, sometimes by what we think others will think. Even then, however, the choices are infinite. What is not commonly thought about often, however, is that every move we make in our lives, every word we say, everything we think, everything we do, all of our plans, our hopes, our dreams, are chosen from infinite palettes of possibilities. Sometimes we choose consciously, but often we choose unconsciously, without even thinking about it. Never forget that at each instant, you have infinite choice.
Your life, what the inside of your house looks like, your character, your friends, your developed abilities, are the result of your own choices. Paradoxically, a disciplined person has more freedom of choice than an undisciplined person. Discipline itself implies an ability to choose. Remember, at every instant you have infinitely many choices to make. Choose wisely, and be sure to include some fun, some productivity and some love every day!


I AM a student of mass communication and my younger brother recently appeared for the Class IX examinations of the secondary education board.
He is a bright student and was disappointed when he found students resorting to cheating at the examination centre. On the first day of his examination, he found many students copying from their books while the invigilator chose to ignore the matter.
On the second day, he found the invigilator rather strict who seemed not to allow anyone to cheat, though students had managed to bring in material from outside and used it to their heart's content.
On the third day the same thing happened, but on the arrival of a media team the school management had to intervene in the matter and also assure the media team that no more unfair means would be allowed.
However, on the fourth day, some male teachers were bribed by some students who were allowed to cheat in the examinations as usual.
How cruel it is that the future of Pakistan is being destroyed through dishonest practices. It is time the authorities concerned woke up and banned corrupt practices in examination halls.

Cardbox Packaging's Karlo Spoon: Flatpack, Single-Use, Recyclable
Cardbox Packaging is a package design firm with branches in Europe and the U.S. For the former market, where the EU banned disposable plastic cutlery earlier this year, Cardbox developed the flatpack, recyclable single-use Karlo Spoon:
"It is made entirely from cartonboard, an ecological plastic-free solution that is fully recyclable with other paper waste. The spoon is made from virgin fibres that are approved for contact with food, while a water-based coating on the board ensures the spoon can be safely used for consumption.
"The spoon is delivered folded which minimises the chance of damage to the spoon structure and also enables it to be attached to a product or inserted into a lid – of a yoghurt, for example. The consumer can easily unfold the spoon and use it immediately. The spoon shape of the pack means that food can be scooped up and consumed without spillage. The pack can be printed enabling branding opportunities in its folded form and can display instructions for unfolding and using the spoon."
Released in February of this year—months before the EU ban came into force—the Karlo Spoon has already sold millions of units, according to Cardbox.
The Karlo Spoon won a 2021 European Carton Excellence Award.

At first glance I thought it was cardboard packaging for a plastic spoon!

Writer & Director Alberto Sciamma Discusses His Latest Film "I Love My Mum"
Author Presh Williams Published on 16 May 2019 8 min read
Independent British comedy, I Love My Mum tells the story of mother and son who inadvertently get shopped in a container from their UK home to Morocco. Without money or documents and still in their pyjamas, they need to find a way back to the UK. The film is produced by the growing independent company, Camelot Films, the team behind 2018's indie-thriller Winter Ridge alongside Amunet Productions. We spoke with Alberto Sciamma, the film's writer & director, to find out what fans can expect.
Presh: The film takes the viewer through Morocco, Italy, Spain & France. What were your favourite locations to film in?
Alberto Sciamma: All of them were great locations; the sea and port in Italy, mountains and gorges in the Pyrenees, all the way from Marrakech to Tanger, even shooting in Tilbury was great fun. Each location presented a different set of challenges, but I was lucky to be working with two fantastic Producers; Alexa Waugh and Matt Hookings. Alexa coordinated all the shooting and travelling etc, and she managed to make it all work – it was nuts.
But the real beauty was that in each place we worked with great actors. In Spain with Aida Folch, who plays the 'love' interest to Ron; she is a natural and very incisive actor. Dominique Pinon and Tim Downie in UK; both such great actors and with very different styles of comedy. And Frank Laboeuf and Sara Martins in Cataluña, both brilliant at improvisation and both great to be with.
We shot all the time as we moved from place to place, it was non stop, always chasing the peculiar or the unexpected, we invited accidents to happen, so we could get the spontaneous feel I was after.
The movie is explosive and raw, and to capture that energy the shoot had to be the same, and it was; we were running away from the police in Morocco as Tommy French forgot his driving license in London, had accidents with the old Mercedes car he had to drive — and Kierston endured hours of cold water and jellyfish stings…
To captured some moments it was just me and Fabio Paolucci, our DOP, climbing endless mountains to get a few seconds of footage.
I guess each of us in the team remember one of the locations with special love — depending on where we got ill.
At one point in Morocco, everyone was down; how we managed to get those scenes done, well, that was a miracle — I mean; an actor had to hold the boom, sound had to assist the director of photography, and I believe our little dog was focus pulling… it got feverishly crazy.
Writer / Director Alberto Sciamma (DMovies.org)
How much of Ron & Olga's journey is a metaphor of British peoples relationship with Europe? Or was that not a consideration in making the film?
Ok… that's a big question, and I would rather go to Alton Towers… but here we go:
Sometimes we talk about Europe as if it was a single homogenous entity, and it's not. Europe is fragmented and diverse. Just look at Spain where I was born, opinions and views and attitudes change from region to region. Europe as a solid entity does not exist, or does it?
Ron and Olga are out of their comfort zone, they are fish out of water; dropped from their British made sofa into a new universe. They have issues communicating and adapting to their new surroundings — but at the end of the day they don't care, they plough on. That sense of self-absorbing attitude fascinates me — and let's be real, you just need to go to Magaluz (Magaluf) for a few days to experience it, or hear plenty of politicians talk about the 'continent'; that world outside that does not speak English.
But that same attitude is everywhere, it's not British owned. That intrinsic animosity is universal, each country tends to look at the rest with that same sense of occasional mistrust. Regardless how much we hide it behind a veneer of worldliness and sophistication… we all can be prattish; insular people with the same preconceptions and insecurities.
But for me Ron and Olga are heroic! Protected by their Teflon like skin they walk the world, like crusaders, and I just bloody love it… it's stereotypical but so what? Stereotypes are signals, basic iconography that simplifies the world outside; regardless of how 'far-off mark' such iconography may be – it tell us which toilet to use.
So, to answer your question. It's their journey a metaphor for how we view and communicate with the 'world outside'?… Benidorm anyone? Let's go get legless, I'm paying…
Ron (played by Tommy French) & Olga's (Played by Keirston Wareing) relationship is key to the plot. How did you go about getting the right chemistry between lead actors?
The chemistry happened naturally, it was there from the start. First, we contacted Kierston, she is utterly fresh and strong and very gutsy. Then, knowing Kierston was playing the mum, we looked for a Ron – and we found Tommy French. Or God sent him to us…
We put them together in a room and a second later I knew I had Ron and Olga. I remember I asked them to sing 'Always Blowing Bubbles' together… they did. It worked perfectly as they both sounded like strangled seagulls- that sort of high pitched sound they do… so I smiled, they were Mum and son!
You've mentioned how your own experience of growing up in Spain but living in England for most of your life serves as a lot of the inspiration for the film. Did you feel you identified more with Ron & Olga or actually the people that Ron & Olga meet as they travel throughout Europe?
I am Ron and Olga. I remember when I first came to England, many many years ago, I fell in love with the place, maybe because I couldn't understand a single word and that sense of not belonging was actually quite precious, and still with me. But the character I identify more with is the little fluffy dog. He yaps and yaps drinks too much and drowns in the pool – only to be resuscitated by Olga at the end. Yep, I certainly identify with that little lost creature…
In ILMM there are no good guys and bad guys, it's a naive movie, simple in its core and I hope sincere in its absurdity. I believe my experiences are embedded in all the characters, but not even intentionally, it just happens as you write it and shape it.
Olga (Played by Keirston Wareing) & Ron (played by Tommy French)
Are there personal stories from your own childhood and relationship with your parents that influenced the direction of the film?
All experiences affect what you write. I was once living with a friend of mine in his house, he lived there with his mum – he was in his forties. Circumstances of life took me there; from my house in London to a lovely inflatable bed on the floor, for quite a few months…
I remember arriving very very upset to their house, I opened the door and got in; in front of me stood his mom. Seeing me all shattered and sad and teary she stepped towards me (and please take into consideration she is a very large lady) and she said:
"you want to be sad about something you little prat?! Have a look at this then!" Suddenly I saw an endless landscape of Rubenesque flesh wobbling as she removed her nighty, like a magician revealing a rabbit. My sadness disappeared. I was saved. I realised I had met 'Olga' for the first time… Life's a comedy, so I wrote it.
The film is intended to be a light-hearted comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously, with this in mind, how did you also go about referencing the current 'refugee crisis' within Europe in the film?
Ron and Olga suddenly become reverse-immigrants, utterly lost and trying to find their way back home, but Ron and Olga don't look at the world with any Intellectual curiosity, they could as well be sitting at home arguing about silly stuff.
There is a scene in the movie in which Ron an Olga must cross from Morocco to Spain in an immigrants dinghy. It's a difficult scene, a scene that walks a moral knife edge — but I felt it important as the scene is somehow a mirror to our attitudes. We tend to act as Ron and Olga do; we want to help but create chaos instead. The scene is as pathetic as our approach to such matters.
We need a concerted global effort to resolve such devastating human crisis, but you look around and you see a lot of posturing, here and in Spain and Italy and everywhere: as individuals, we talk about it, feel bad for a sec… and then go for a pint.

Warranty Improvements: Clever companies are now looking beyond warranty, wondering what else they can do with their data to improve quality and service and further reduce costs. At the WCM Conference in a few weeks, several will report on the status of these efforts.
Warranty Workshops: What's the probability that two Russian physicists with degrees from the same university would deliver back-to-back workshops on new statistical approaches to warranty data? On March 10, that's exactly what's on the agenda for the WCM Conference's opening day.
Warranty Legal Solutions: So often warranty cost reduction efforts are focused on either the product or the process. But what about the warranty itself? At the WCM Conference, an attorney explained how the right choice of words can limit liability and reduce warranty cost.

Diving with giants: A peak into Tonga's underwater wonderland
July 13, 2021 s/v The Red Thread
I wiggle my toes into the sand, wedging my feet into the course granules of earth. If I don't, I'll topple over! I'm squatting beneath the branches of palms and scrub—spending a penny, if you will. On the evening breeze drifts the harmony of a sun-kissed, booze-primed chorus of sailors somewhere down the beach. Euphoria washes over me like a tsunami.
I press my heels into the earth and stand. A kaleidoscope of fire floods toward me from the jeweled western sky. Ruby. Garnet. Gold. Citrine.
The choir on the beach comprises a couple dozen cruisers who, like us, have sailed thousands of miles from a dozen or more nations to drop their hooks on this expanse of beach. The most memorable among the cast of characters were David and Gitte, a Scottish couple aboard s/v Aros Mear; Dave and Amy, the young American couple from the catamaran s/v Starry Horizons; Shelley and Kyle, a pair of scuba diving Canadians aboard s/v Blowin' Bubbles; and, of course, our Mike and Gill aboard s/v Romano.
David & Gitte from s/v Aros Mear
Daylight faded and sundowners continued to be poured as masthead lights twinkled across the anchorage at Port Maurelle. The bonfire Neil and Kyle nurtured from a spark blazed. Seeds of friendship sprouted in the flames, as we passed bowls between hands, sharing homemade dishes and a potluck supper.
Gill and I trudge into the shadows toward our dinghies, every boat's by-proxy bar. "Watch that painter," I advise, shining the rope with my flashlight. Gill acknowledges the rope the strung between a fat hypalon boat and a tree and then promptly trips over the line and lands plop on the sand. My concerns are met with laughter.
Stumbles in the sand kindled the joy in the air rather than stifled it. Mike and Gill have become two of our favorite friends, and we've already grown confident that our friendship will endure after our routes diverge. As months of the cruising before we were to reach Australia had dwindled to weeks, the experience was growing more precious each day.
"Tonight is a treasure," I thought. "Pour me anotha."
Mariner's Cave
We awoke the next morning eager to go scuba diving with our new friends. David and Amy had generously invited Shelley, Kyle, and the two of us aboard s/v Starry Horizons to dive Mariner's Cave, a well-known but tough-to-find jewel in Vava'u's mosaic of islands.
Starry Horizons is a pretty boat, and there was something about tugging on a wetsuit in the spacious cockpit of a catamaran that made me feel like we were on a chartered dive expedition.
I tend to be a nervous diver, and with the exception of my SSI open water certification dives in Seattle, I had literally never dove without Neil.
Today would be different.
There were three couples; we agreed that the men would dive first, then the women. Kyle and Shelley were dive instructors in their pre-cruising life and knowing that Shelley would be leading Amy and I was a great source of reassurance. The entrance to Mariner's Cave is not visible above the water. Thus, while we knew generally where the cave was located, finding the entrance along the limestone cliffs would take a bit of luck. Thanks to a scouting expedition by Kyle, we found the entrance to the submerged cave quickly, and the men set off on their dive.
Then it was our turn.
Mariner's Cave can be accessed by either of two entrances, one 3 meters below the surface and another 12 meters deep. We opted for the shallower of the two and not long after we began to descend, we surfaced in the pitch-black underbelly of the limestone into a hollow of air. The force of water moving in and out of the cave created gurgling and whooshing sounds, and with each breath of the sea, the pressure changed dramatically, popping our ears and leaving us giggling! An electric aqua glow shimmered eerily across the surface of the water where sunlight seeped into the cave through the entrance we'd just traversed. Shelley shone a light into the darkness, revealing purple-stained walls, an artefact of the minerals in the limestone.
We descended and exited the cave to explore along the limestone walls. There were a few interesting fish and small corals, but it was the serenade of whalesong echoing through the water column was the most memorable treat for our senses.
Swimming with whales
Tonga, like Niue, is a breeding and birthing ground for one of the pods of humpback whales who make the South Pacific their winter home after fattening up on krill during the Antarctican summer. It is one of the few countries in the world where you can swim freely with humpback whales and after having some remorse about not taking advantage of the opportunity in Niue, we weren't about to skip it in Tonga.
In the days before the weather gods forecast a good window for our passage to Fiji, we signed up for a whale swim with Beluga Diving. It was a full day affair spent speeding through the picturesque islands of the Vava'u group, our hopes high that we would indeed have be able to swim with the some of the visiting giants. It wasn't a particularly calm day. The tradewinds were a bit gusty and the zen conditions that had characterized the prior couple of days were gone. The breeze had churned the seas enough that I felt seasick as we zipped along, all eyes on the lookout for blows in the distance.
Our guide briefed us on the protocol should we sight a whale. The boat would rush as close as was allowed to respect the animals and then we would all barrel off one after the next and swim as rapidly as possible in our desperation to get a glimpse of the animal beneath the surface, always remaining behind our guide.
We saw half a dozen whales and each time, our hearts careened into our throats, as we tugged our masks over our eyes, shoved our snorkels in our mouths, and scurried to the stern of the boat. It was a bit chaotic but not overly so. The visibility was not great but more than once, we caught glimpses of the creatures. One was particularly curious and lingered longer in our view than others. It was enormous, and its right eye, the size of a dinner plate, never seemed to leave us, even as it broke the surface of the water to breathe. It was magnificent to behold, and evoked an awe-inspiring reverence for Mother Nature and her precious creations.
I was so caught up in watching the creature that I didn't notice that an even grander beast was rising below it. The gigantic whale I had been admiring was but a baby, a calf of no more than a few months or weeks. Mama was coming. As the animal ascended from the darkness and its shape took form, I all but panicked at its sheer grandeur. My breath tangled in my ribs and left me gasping. The calf dove to mama, and then up again, and then again down. Our guide later told us that baby was nursing with each of these descents, guzzling some its 150-gallon (570-liter) per day ration of a milk so rich in fat that its consistency is more akin to toothpaste (35-50% fat concentration).
The grace that these creatures afford humans in spite of centuries of violence in the form of whaling, among other harms (e.g., boat collisions, environmental pollution) is mystifying. In one intentional swipe of her tail, mama could have easily taken out the lot of us. Yet, she surfaced and then disappeared with an apparent nonchalance that seemed kinder than anything we, as humans, deserve. There was a lot more to process about the experience than simply the animals' behemoth size.
Swallows' Cave
As the day wound down and the sun angled toward the horizon, we made a final stop at Swallow's Cave. We had explored the cave by dinghy with Mike and Gill from s/v Romano a few days prior, and there was something nice about visiting a spot twice, which we don't often do while cruising. Today, we hopped off the boat and swam inside.
Unlike Mariner's Cave, Swallow's is hard to miss. Inside the gaping 6-meter doorway is a downward-turned sculpture of rock that reminded me of the figureheads that adorned the bows of wooden tall ships in centuries gone by.
Swallows' Cave is a magical labyrinth of light, especially late in the afternoon. The interior is cavernous and easily navigated by dinghy. Shapely, with nooks and crannies and stained the color of green olives and boysenberry, the cave is arguably beautiful. However, its otherwise barren walls are not particularly remarkable. Dip your eyes beneath the surface, however, and you enter a new dimension.
Swallows' Cave is deep, cut in the shape of a marquise, and the afternoon sunshine illuminates the warm water like a paraiba tourmaline. Thousands upon thousands of tiny baitfish congregate inside the cave and move cohesively, bending shape in the light in a silent grace that is transfixing. Neil free dove again and again through the fish, and I delighted in watching as their movement curved away as he swam through them, only to watch them twist and cascade to fill the pillar of light cleared by his presence almost as quickly as they had arced to avoid his path. Our GoPro screen grabs were a poor effort to do Swallows' Cave justice, but our friends on s/v Tamata captured some stunning images the year prior.
A day of bathing in the goodness of the Vava'u's underwater world was a beautiful way to conclude our time in Tonga. Next stop: Fiji.

Windows 10 is undoubtedly the most efficient operating system to be ever released from Microsoft. It demands numerous system resources owing to the vast number of features offered along with it. Despite all the updates and features, this OS tends to slow down over time as they get bloated with files and programs. It is possible to Optimize Windows 10 Performance through hardware upgrades, but you may not like to spend more to buy new hardware. So, in this article, we will discuss a wide range of Windows 10 performance tweaks.
Basically, you need to turn off unused special effects, defrag HDD, do away with the unwanted files, programs and more in order to speed up Windows 10 laptop. There are several ways of deriving the best performance from Windows 10. However, the latest iteration of the operating system is renowned for a ton of highly useful built-in features that ensure a boost in the overall efficiency of the system.
Here are the steps that you can follow to witness a surge in the speed of your computer when you correctly Optimize Windows 10 Performance.
This may seem like an obvious workaround but there are several users who run their Windows 10 machines for weeks on a stretch. Doing so compels the operating system to put the display to sleep during which your computer slows down. You can boost Windows 10 performance if you make it a habit to shutdown the device each day after completing all your tasks. Just ensure to hit the Power button only once you save your work and close all the running tasks. If your PC has slowed down considerably and you are unable to access Start Menu, then you need to manually press the Power button on your laptop/desktop CPU until the device shuts down completely.
This small tip can make Windows 10 PC run faster. Restarting helps you wipe out the memory and also confirms shutdown of troublesome services and processes. Furthermore, rebooting ends all the software active on the system. It covers the programs active on the taskbar as well as the apps that have been accessed numerous times and have never been terminated. This simple act boosts Windows 10 performance that had otherwise been functioning poorly. As a result of a regular restart, you may highly Optimize Windows 10 Performance.
Microsoft strives continually to provide a better experience to you all. It addresses all the key concerns reported by you in order to make sure that updates fix the flaws being encountered. The Windows 10 updates are designed to eliminate common bugs that are known to reduce system performance.

Step-6: If there is any major update available, then before proceeding ensure to make sure that you save and take a backup of your personal data. Your system may restart several times during an update.
Step-7: Finally, again check for updates after restarting just to make sure that there are no updates available. This is essential in case you have not updated your system for a long time.
Personal computers tend to bog down by the sheer number of processes that run continuously. This is because several users instruct their operating system to run the programs immediately after logging in to the device. It slows your Windows 10 device's speed considerably. The best thing to do is to disable unwanted programs which startup every time the system boots up.
First, open Task Manager and to do so, press "Cltr+Alt+Del" hotkeys at the same time.
Then click on the Startup tab being displayed. Here, check the 'Startup Impact' values displayed for each program that runs as soon as you log in.

US women schedule match against England at Wembley
The U.S. women's national team is set to face England at Wembley Stadium, the first of two European matches as the United States prepares to defend its title at the 2023 World Cup.
But there's a catch: The Oct. 7 match is contingent on England securing its spot in the World Cup in qualifying games in September.
England is coming off a 2-1 overtime victory Sunday over Germany in the women's European Championships final. The match at Wembley drew a tournament-record 87,192 fans.
"To get a chance to play the European champions in London at Wembley is an opportunity that doesn't come around very often, so we're all thankful that the match could be arranged, and we'll be hoping that England finish their qualifying campaign in September," U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski said in a statement Tuesday. "This is exactly the kind of match we need at exactly the right time in our World Cup preparations so we can test ourselves against a very talented England team."
The last U.S. appearance at Wembley was a 2-1 victory over Japan in the 2012 Olympic final.
The Lionesses need a draw or win against Austria on Sept. 3 to qualify for the World Cup next summer in Australia and New Zealand. If they don't get it done then, they'll need a victory at home over Luxembourg on Sept. 6.
"It is really exciting to have the chance to play the U.S. at Wembley if we can make sure of qualification for the World Cup," England coach Sarina Wiegman said. "It would be the perfect game for our squad to meet another strong team after so many tough games in the Euros. It is good we enjoy the moment we are in after this wonderful summer, but we know we still have to work to do to take the next step forward."
England's federation announced the game early to allow fans to make travel plans. Should England fail to qualify in September, ticketholders will be offered a refund and the U.S. will work with England for a future match.
The other U.S. match in Europe during the October international window was not announced.
The United States qualified for the World Cup last month at the CONCACAF W Championship in Monterrey, Mexico. The Americans, who won the final over Canada, also secured a spot in the 2024 Olympics in France.
