Upon doing so, he became the first teenage goalkeeper since Joe Hart in 2006 to start a Premier League match, and made a number of saves to help the club record its first ever victory over Tottenham, with Travers keeping a clean sheet and receiving Man of the Match for his performance.

## Ake the hero as Cherries strike late to sink nine-man Spurs

# Nathan Ake heads in a late winner as AFC Bournemouth beat Tottenham

NATHAN Ake bagged a dramatic stoppage time winner as Cherries sealed a first Premier League victory over Tottenham, just as the nine-man visitors looked to be clinging on for a point.

Spurs have had the better of this fixture since Cherries joined the top flight, racking up multiple big wins including the 5-0 at Wembley back in December.

And they created all the early chances with surprise starter Mark Travers the stand-out man with a string of fine saves in the Cherries net.

But the game swung when Son Heung-Min saw shown a straight red card for a shove on Jefferson Lerma two minutes before half-time while Juan Foyth was also dismissed for a lunge on Jack Simpson moments after the restart.

Cherries huffed and puffed in search of a winner and just as time looked to be running out, Ake rose highest to powerfully head home a Ryan Fraser corner and send Vitality Stadium into raptures.

The 1-0 win, a first victory at home since January, means Cherries can still break their record Premier League points tally with a win at Crystal Palace on the final day next weekend.

With more injuries taking hold of the squad, Eddie Howe made four changes from the side which drew at Southampton.

David Brooks (ankle) and Dan Gosling (calf) missed out while Chris Mepham and Artur Boruc dropped to the bench.

In came Fraser, Adam Smith and Jordon Ibe, making his first appearance since March.

The fourth switch was the most eye-catching with young goalkeeper Travers handed a Cherries debut, becoming the first teenage goalkeeper to start a Premier League match since Joe Hart for Man City in 2006.

And he had to endure a nervy moment early on as Lucas Moura spotted the former Weymouth loanee off his line and tried his luck from just inside his own half, but the shot bounced just wide.

Chances were hard to come by for Cherries but they were presented with an opportunity when Eric Dier was booked for tripping Ryan Fraser.

The Scot stepped up himself and curled the free-kick narrowly off target.

Spurs began to turn the screw but found an inspired goalkeeper in their way in the shape of Travers.

The 19-year-old flew to his right to tip away Dele Alli's 20-yard strike before making an acrobatic stop to deny a Moura from the edge of the box.

The Brazilian forward was soon in again, breaking beyond the defence but Travers made a save with his legs to preserve the clean sheet after half an hour.

Son fired over minutes later before Travers produced an acrobatic stop to tip over a Moura header.

Cherries were looking threatening on the counter-attack but one of their attempts was crudely stopped when Dier slid in on the marauding Joshua King.

Fans howled for a second yellow for the England man, but referee Craig Pawson let play continue.

The end of the first half livened up further when Wilson was taken down in the box by Dier, but again Pawson was unmoved.

Hugo Lloris was finally tested in the Spurs goal on 38 minutes when King got in behind, but his shot was saved before he collided with the Frenchman.

While Tottenham may have been fortunate to still boast a full complement, they were down to 10 men before the half was out.

After Pawson awarded Cherries a free-kick, Son lashed out and shoved Lerma to the ground and the referee had no hesitation in sending off the forward.

The hosts then carved out their clearest opening of the half as a corner was cleared back out to Fraser, who delivered back into the box for Simpson, but his header was straight at Lloris.

Mauricio Pochettino made a double switch at the break, replacing the yellow carded Alderweireld and Dier with Foyth and Victor Wanyama.

But things went from bad to worse for the visitors as just two minutes after coming on, Foyth was heading back down the tunnel after a horror challenge on Simpson, sliding in and catching the centre-back on his knee.

Knowing a point would be huge in their quest for Champions League qualification, Spurs set up camp with a 4-3-1 formation and challenged Cherries to break them down.

But Howe's men struggled to find that killer moment with Callum Wilson and Nathaniel Clyne firing wide before Ibe was stopped by Lloris.

Lys Mousset was introduced for the first 15 minutes and he almost made an instant impact, lashing an effort on target and then planting a header straight into the grateful arms of the Spurs keeper.

Cherries carved out another chance as the game headed towards stoppage time from a set piece as Fraser delivered to Mousset, whose header was blocked out to Ake, but again the effort was stopped.

But there was still time as Fraser delivered a corner into the heart of the penalty area, which was met by Ake to head in his fourth league goal of the campaign as Cherries climb to 12th.

# Will 'Black Panther' See One of the Best Second Weekends Ever?

With an array of records set in its first four days, Disney-Marvel's blockbuster sensation "Black Panther" is on the prowl for more box office milestones next weekend.

The superhero pic set a record for top Monday domestic gross ever, with $40.2 million, edging the previous high set by "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" at $40.1 million.

The four-day domestic haul is $242 million, second only to 2015's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" at $288 million, aided by the fourth day being a holiday.

"Now that 'Black Panther' has set a new bar for what is possible over an opening weekend in February, all eyes will look toward what promises to rank among the biggest second weekend performances ever as positive word-of-mouth continues to spread and repeat viewers pounce back to the multi-plex," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at comScore.

"The potential for a second weekend near or over $100 million will put 'Black Panther' in the pantheon of films that benefited not only from great critical praise, but also an outpouring of support from audiences and an ongoing wave of enthusiasm that result in modest week to week box office drops and a quicker than average sprint to huge revenue milestones," he added.

"Black Panther" is treading in rarified territory.

It's one of five movies to have opened above $200 million during its first Friday-Sunday, joining "The Force Awakens" at $248 million, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" at $220 million, "Jurassic World" at $208.8 million and "The Avengers" at $207.4 million.

All four of those films wound up among the six with more than $600 million in domestic grosses, a list that's led by "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" at $936.7 million, followed by "Avatar" at $760.5 million, "Titanic" with $659.4 million, "Jurassic World" with $652.3 million, "Avatar" with $623.4 million and "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" with $618.2 million.

The previous four films that opened with $200 million domestically had a wide range of second weekends, led by "The Force Awakens," which declined 40% to $149 million; "Jurassic World" slid 49% to $106.6 million; "The Avengers" fell 50% to $103.1 million; and "The Last Jedi" plunged 67% to $71.6 million — the 13th highest second weekend.

The fourth-highest second weekend took place last March when Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" scored $90.4 million off a 48% decline.

Three new films launch this weekend, but the outsized footprint of "Black Panther" is making mincemeat of January tracking forecasts for those films.

Warner Bros.-New Line's comedy "Game Night" is now projecting an opening in the $13 million to $20 million range at 3,000 locations while Paramount's sci-fi thriller "Annihilation" should debut in the $9 million to $12 million area at 2,000 venues.

Orion Pictures, MGM's relaunched label, is opening its low-budget romance "Every Day" at about 1,625 sites with expectations of $3 million to $4 million.

"Game Night" stars Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams with John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein directing a story of a group of friends whose game night turns into a murder mystery.

"Annihilation" stars Natalie Portman, Oscar Isaac, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa Thompson, Gina Rodriguez and Tuva Novotny.

The film follows Portman's biologist character on a mission to uncover what happened to her husband inside Area X — a sinister and mysterious phenomenon that is expanding across the American coastline.

The March 2-4 weekend will see the third weekend of "Black Panther" face two launches — Fox's Jennifer Lawrence spy thriller "Red Sparrow," tracking in the $18 million to $25 million range, and MGM's "Death Wish," with tracking between $15 million and $20 million.

Top third weekend performances are "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" with $90.4 million, "Avatar" with $68.5 million and "The Avengers" with $55.6 million.

International performance has been impressive so far with Disney reporting Monday that "Black Panther" had taken in $184 million, led by South Korea with $27.1 million and the U.K. with $26.7 million.

And it has not yet opened in several major markets with Russia going on Feb. 22, Japan on March 1 and China on March 9.

Marvel titles have been playing strongly recently overseas, with "Thor: Ragnarok" taking in $583 million along with a $314 million domestic gross while "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" grossed $473 million internationally and $389 million domestically.

Though conventional wisdom used to say that black-oriented films struggled outside the U.S., the massive cultural impact of "Black Panther" and the fact that it's the first big-budget superhero movie of its kind on this scale make mean there's no comparison to previous films targeted to black audiences.

With a stellar domestic start and a solid international launch so far, it's quite probable that "Black Panther" will join the 32 films with $1 billion in worldwide business by the end of its run.

Directed by Ryan Coogler, "Black Panther" stars Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira and Daniel Kaluuya.

Its success has given the U.S. box office a major lift with 2018 grosses up 7.3% to $1.64 billion as of Feb. 19.

Here are the domestic records set so far by "Black Panther":

— biggest Monday of all-time: $40.2 million

— highest three-day debut ever for a February film: $201.8 million

— largest President's Day weekend: $242 million

— largest Thursday night preview gross for a February opener: $25.2 million.

— largest single-day gross for a solo superhero film: $60.1 million on Sunday

— highest-grossing title in an opening weekend for 150 AMC locations.

Frankenstein in particular has a special meaning for him, in both film and literature, as he claims he has a "Frankenstein fetish to a degree that is unhealthy", and that it's "the most important book of my life, so you know if I get to it, whenever I get to it, it will be the right way".

# AT&T makes sweeping changes to data plans, iPhone tethering coming at OS 4 launch

You might think that AT&T would hold off for a national HSPA+ deployment or a full-on LTE launch before tweaking its data pricing strategy, but not so much -- the carrier is coming out swinging today with some significant changes that should benefit the overwhelming majority of its smartphone users (and could stand to harm a select few).

The existing $30 fair-use "unlimited" smartphone data plan is being replaced by two new options: $15 per month for 200MB and $25 for 2GB (called "DataPlus" and "DataPro," respectively).

Customers currently on the $30 plan are welcome to stay on it, but they can switch at any time without extending their contract.

AT&T's new overage system is arguably the game changer: on the $15 plan, you'll pay $15 for each additional 200MB, but on the $25 plan, you'll pay $10 for each additional GB.

It's simple and straightforward -- but most importantly, it won't bankrupt you if you go over by a gig or three in a month.

This compares to $50 per gigabyte of overage on AT&T's 5GB DataConnect plan for laptops.

The carrier's going to be very flexible about changing between the DataPlus and DataPro plans -- if you're on DataPlus, for example, and you discover that you're blowing past your allotment, you can choose either to start DataPro the following billing cycle, pro-rate it, or apply the higher plan retroactively to the beginning of your current billing cycle.

Tethering will be offered as an add-on to the DataPro plan for an additional $20 per month, which means you'll pay a total of $45 a month for 2GB of data shared between your phone and your tethered devices.

If you're light on the usage, it's a sweet deal -- but if you scale it up and you're using the data almost exclusively on your laptop, it compares unfavorably to the traditional DataConnect plan: $60 versus $75 for 5GB (and in the unlikely even you've got a webOS device on Verizon, it compares even less favorably).

If you're striking a balance of data use between a smartphone and tethered gear, AT&T's new setup is still pretty solid considering that you would've been paying $60 for the USB stick plus $30 for smartphone data before.

Yes, it's finally happening: AT&T's iPhones will get access to the tethering option, too.

iPad users are also affected by the change.

The $30 iPad data plan -- lauded for being labeled by AT&T as truly unlimited -- goes away to be replaced by the same $25 / 2GB plan that smartphone users will see, though current subscribers to the $30 plan can continue unaffected.

Everything launches on June 7, except for iPhone tethering -- it'll launch when OS 4 does.

In the meantime, we're told users can sign up for the $30 plans both on their phones and iPads if they'd like to be grandfathered in.

Follow the break for more details along with AT&T's full press release.

We're definitely mourning the death of unlimited data -- "unlimited" is a word that consumers always naturally like to hear -- but AT&T points out that 98 percent of its smartphone subscribers use less than 2GB a month, which means that nearly all users ultimately stand to see a $5 reduction in their monthly bills.

We spoke to Mark Collins -- AT&T Mobility's senior vice president of data and voice products -- about the changes for a few clarifications on the company's strategy, and he made it crystal clear that the concept of unlimited data is a thing in the past (echoing comments made recently by Verizon's Lowell McAdam), particularly in light of the oncoming spectrum crunch that stands to make wireless broadband an even more precious commodity than it already is.

He also mentioned that laptop plans are unaffected by this move, though he went on to say that they've laid a "framework" for data pricing here that should continue all the way through to the company's LTE rollout, so we wouldn't be surprised to see some tweaks made on the laptop side sooner or later (to reduce overage fees, if nothing else).We

mentioned that the change stands to hurt a few users, and it's true -- we're extremely heavy smartphone users here, for example, and we're hard-pressed to break even a gigabyte of usage in a month; anyone doing a boatload of video streaming though, or lacking access to WiFi at home and the office (AT&T's quick to boast about its 20,000-odd hotspots) might find themselves regularly slamming headlong into that 2GB cap, and there won't be any option but to buy overage.

For what it's worth, Collins pointed out to us that the plans will feature automatic text and email alerts at 65, 90, and 100 percent usage of your monthly allowance (and at 75 and 100 percent usage of each overage purchase), so it should be pretty easy to keep an eye on things and make sure you don't break the bank.

Show full PR textAT&T ANNOUNCES NEW LOWER-PRICED WIRELESS DATA PLANS TO MAKE MOBILE INTERNET MORE AFFORDABLE TO MORE PEOPLEDALLAS, June 2, 2010 -

AT&T*, the U.S. smartphone leader, today introduced new wireless data plans that make it more affordable for more people to enjoy the benefits of the mobile Internet.

Customers can pick the new data plan that best meets their needs - either a $15 per month entry plan or a $25 per month plan with 10 times more data.

Current smartphone customers are not required to switch to the new plans, but can choose to do so without a contract extension.

"AT&T helps mobilize everything on the Internet - your favorite web sites, TV shows, music, games and social networks.

Virtually everything previously done while sitting at a computer can now be done on the go," said Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets.

"To give more people the opportunity to experience these benefits, we're breaking free from the traditional 'one-size-fits-all' pricing model and making the mobile Internet more affordable to a greater number of people.

Customers can also use unlimited Wi-Fi at home, in the office or elsewhere if available.

AT&T will also help customers manage their wireless data usage by sending free text messages when customers reach different usage intervals, and by providing online tools, including a smartphone app that shows monthly usage information.

The new wireless data plans - including a new tethering option - will be available beginning June 7.

Current AT&T voice and texting plans are unchanged.

This plan, which can save customers up to 20 percent off their wireless voice and data charges, is designed for people who primarily like to surf the web, send email and use social networking apps.

If customers exceed 200 MB in a monthly billing cycle, they will receive an additional 200 MB of data usage for $15 for use in the month.

Currently, 65 percent of AT&T smartphone customers use less than 200 MB of data per month on average.*

DataPro. Provides 2 gigabytes (GB) of data - enough to send/receive 10,000 emails (no attachments), send/receive 1,500 emails with attachments, view 4,000 Web pages, post 500 photos to social media sites and watch 200 minutes of streaming video - for $25 per month.

Currently, 98 percent of AT&T smartphone customers use less than 2 GB of data a month on average.*

Smartphone customers - including iPhone customers - who choose the DataPro plan have the option to add tethering for an additional $20 per month.

Tethering enables customers to use their smartphone as a modem to provide a broadband connection for laptop computers, netbooks or other computing devices.

Tethering for iPhones will be available when Apple releases OS 4.0 this summer.

With the new wireless data plans, pricing for a smartphone voice and data bundle now starts at just $54.99 per month for an individual plan, or $24.99 per month for an additional line on a FamilyTalk plan, $15 per month less than the price of the previous entry level bundle.

For new iPad customers, the $25 per month 2 GB plan will replace the existing $29.99 unlimited plan.

iPad customers will continue to pre-pay for their wireless data plan and no contract is required.

Existing iPad customers who have the $29.99 per month unlimited plan can keep that plan or switch to the new $25 per month plan with 2 GB of data.

vast majority of smartphones that AT&T offers have built-in Wi-Fi, which lets the devices automatically switch from the wireless network to a Wi-Fi hotspot without prompting, making Wi-Fi even more convenient and easy to use.

This enables customers to use Wi-Fi in the home, office and at public locations where available.

Using Wi-Fi does not count against a customer's monthly data plan usage total.

In addition, virtually all AT&T smartphone customers have access at no additional charge to more than 20,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, and other U.S. locations.

Customers can get more information on how to use Wi-Fi and find the location of AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at www.att.com/wifiaccess.Monitoring and Managing

The richest coral reef on Earth & Indonesia's top liveaboard diving destination

Home to more than ten times the number of hard coral species found in the Caribbean, this area of West Papua province is legendary among experienced scuba divers as one of the top liveaboard dive destinations in the entire world.

And there is so much more to learn about Raja Ampat (which when translated in English means 'The Four Kings').

The first comprehensive scientific survey of the area was only conducted in 2001, a record-breaking census which found nearly 1,000 tropical fish species—many of the species discovered had been previously unknown.

The Raja Ampat archipelago, part of the Coral Triangle, located at the northwest corner of Indonesia's West Papua province, encompassing 40,000 km² of land and sea and including a series of more than 1,500 islands which surround the main islands of Misool, Salawati, Batanta and Waigeo.

Located at the intersection of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, Raja Ampat has been described as a 'species factory'.

Powerful deep-sea currents funnel nutrients into Raja Ampat's delicate fringing coral reefs, blue water drop-offs, mangrove flats, and seagrass beds to form the foundation of the food chain which feeds a spectacular diversity of marine life.

### Discovering Raja Ampat: Experiencing the Coral Triangle's 'Species Factory'

With the discovery of Raja Ampat's biodiversity still in progress, WWF has teamed up with the Indonesian government, local community groups, and conservation partners such as Conservation International (CI) and The Nature Conservancy to create the Bird's Head Seascape.

Encompassing an area of 183,000 km², the Bird's Head Seascape also includes 7 marine protected areas within Raja Ampat totaling 9,100 km².

Scientists have discovered that many coral species within Raja Ampat may be more resistant to rising ocean temperatures due to global warming, providing hope that the marine protected area might help replenish other nearby coral reefs which have been severely damaged by coral bleaching events.

Raja Ampat's relative isolation has been one of the marine protected area's greatest defenses against overuse and exploitation.

However, as more coastal environments lying closer to human population centers become degraded, relatively pristine coral reefs such as Raja Ampat are becoming increasingly tempting targets.

Local subsistence fishermen have used dynamite blast fishing methods in the past, and some fragile ecosystems have been threatened by logging, mining, and oil exploration.

Continuing to stay within the "sexy singer" concept, the lead single "Heundeullyeo" (""Shake"") is an electronic dance song.

(meta data) TITLE: Singer Chae-yeon Brings Sexy Back

Singer Chae-yeon is proud to be called as a sexy singer, and for the time being, she will continue to be so.

Despite the other popular females singers dominating the K-pop scene, the 30-year-old is up to the task to attract her own crowd.

Korea may have their fair share of sexy female singers, but it's hard to find someone who not only has her own style but sticks to it.

One of them is Chae-yeon, who recently released her new album in two years, ``Shake," and the 30-year-old returned with a fresh, yet fitting concept of sexy.

``I worked on the album with (Kim Chang-wan) who I have been working with from my debut album.

Electronic dance is a genre I was always comfortable with, so it's more of my style with a hint of the current trend,'' she told The Korea Times during an interview last week at a cafe in northern Seoul.

Chae-yeon made her debut in 2003, but she initially went to the Japanese entertainment business, releasing albums under the name Jinny.

She returned to Korea at the age of 25 and started her life as an aspiring singer all over again.

``When I first started working on my Korean debut album, I was all ears.

I really wanted to start my career in Korea and I wasn't that young, so I needed to put all my effort and time to that one album.

Chae-yeon always dreamed of becoming a singer ever since she was young, and although she was not at all used to being pretty, she quickly transformed herself into the sexy, yet cute singer she is well-known as today.

``I was such a tomboy and used to being tough, far from pretty, sexy or even cute!

But when my agency decided that sexy was the theme for me, I went for it and realized that there was actually a pretty young woman hidden inside me all that time,'' she said laughing, adding that getting used to short and sexy outfits were the most difficult thing she had to do during her debut.

The past years have been quite successful, as she appeared in many entertainment programs and was appreciated as the girl-next-door singer who had an edge when it came to performing on stage.

But is the singer finally comfortable being sexy now?

``Many female singers tend to follow the sexy trend sooner or later, but to be honest; being sexy, especially during your twenties, is hard.

It's uncomfortable and awkward, and when I watch myself on television that was broadcast years ago, I can see myself trying too hard.

I thought sexy was about squinting your eyes and staring hard at the crowd, but now it's more about being natural.

I think the more I relax, the sexier I become,'' she said.

The music video for her title number ``Shake'' was recently banned from being aired on major television broadcasters including KBS.

When asked what she thought about her videos and outfits being a little too revealing, Chae-yeon said she understood but it would be hard to change.

``It's my way of expressing myself and I do think fans and viewers know that it's my style.

It's not just about showing more skin, but the overall atmosphere and confidence.

But, of course, I understand their decision and we have decided to change the video just a little bit for more viewers,'' she said.

Unlike the past, when there were mostly boy bands and male solo singers dominating the pop scene, the present K-pop industry has become the time of girl bands and female singers.

Such a shift may have been a burden for Chae-yeon, and when asked about the recent popularity of female singers like herself, including Lee Hyo-ri and Son Dam-bi, she shrugged and said she was more than happy to be working with such talented and smart fellow artists.

``When it comes to competition, it is inevitable.

Everyone in this business wants to be famous and popular and that's natural.

But now, as I get older, I realize that it is important to be satisfied with where you are, and appreciate others as part of a team.

The entertainment business is a rough industry, and whom will we turn to if it's not one another and our fans?

It's not just about winning an award or appearing on a commercial, but loving what you do.

I sound old, but that is what I finally realized,'' she said.

So what is Chae-yeon's strategy to survive among the multi-talented, pretty, sexy and powerful female artists?

Lee and Son are doing their part as attracting young fans, and this is both a good and a bad thing.

The younger crowd may appreciate the trendy songs and fashion, but the older generation may not.

I have decided to focus on the older crowd, fans in their twenties, thirties and even forties.

I don't want to try hard to look like I am younger than I really am.

I know my place, and I just hope fans will appreciate the way I am,'' she said smiling.

 She continued to remain a "sexy" singer, saying that she does not mind the label.
 In addition to promoting her album, Chae Yeon has also joined the cast of "Hi-Five", part of KBS's "Happy Sunday" line-up.  On the reality-variety show, which also stars Hyun Young, the stars attempt to succeed in various tasks, including starring in a musical, becoming flight attendants, and performing action movie stunts.  She remained a part of the show until its cancellation in 2008.
 Later that year, she drew media attention with her investment into, and direct involvement with, Bequem, a fashion company.  She is a spokesperson for the brand, promoting its stylized caps and bags.  Moreover, her portfolio with a sexy "Party" concept has hit record sales by elegantly mixing her sexy image with feminine touches. The singer came back after a two-year hiatus from the music world, with her mini-album "Shake".


The last image released to the public was taken after the second stage finished burning all of its fuel, and showed "Starman" leaving Earth behind.

# Elon Musk shares the epic last photo of 'Starman' in the red Tesla he shot into space

Published Thu, Feb 8 2018 12:36 PM ESTUpdated Mon, Feb 12 2018 10:30 AM ESTCatherine Clifford@CatCliffordThe last picture of Starman from SpaceXCourtesy SpaceX

On Wednesday, Elon Musk shared the last picture SpaceX was able to get of the cherry red Tesla it sent into space with a mannequin driver, "Starman."

The picture features Starman clad in a SpaceX astronaut suit, and is nothing short of epic.

Musk's SpaceX launched the Falcon Heavy rocket Tuesday to much fanfare.

The 27-engine behemoth is the most powerful rocket in use today.

Its successful launch was a significant step forward for SpaceX and Musk's eventual goal of sending people to live on Mars.

To make the rocket launch more entertaining, Musk put his own cherry red Tesla Roadster in the rocket to be released into space.

And SpaceX, for a limited time, was able to provide a live video feed of the Tesla floating through space.

The photo that Musk shared on Wednesday was the last picture the company captured of Starman soaring through space before the connection was lost.

This animated video from SpaceX, embedded below, shows how the Tesla roadster was released into space from the Falcon Heavy rocket.

You can watch the live feed of the Tesla Roadster floating through space in the SpaceX video below.

SpaceX also released a number of impressive still pictures from Starman's voyage.

According to Musk, the red Tesla shot past the Mars orbit and entered the Asteroid Belt, an orbit between Mars and Jupiter.

After Kravitz's death, on February 24, 2014, the U.S. Senate confirmed Jeffrey A. Meyer to fill the seat.

## Jeffrey A. Meyer Appointed U.S. District Judge for the District of Connecticut

Jeffrey A. Meyer Appointed U.S. District Judge for the District of Connecticut

On February 24, 2014, the Senate confirmed Jeffrey A. Meyer as the 37th U.S. District Judge appointed to serve the District of Connecticut.

At his investiture, Judge Meyer commented on the judicial robes he had just donned.

Not only is the robe itself emblematic of the neutrality and impartiality required in judges, but the various robes he wore in the first few months of his tenure were lent to him by judges who preceded him and were meaningful to him in different stages of development as a lawyer.

In fact, the robe that his wife, Linda Ross Meyer, placed over his shoulders during the ceremony was worn by the Honorable James L. Oakes, for whom Judge Meyer had clerked after law school.

For Judge Meyer, the robe is a symbol of the deep tradition of the bench and the many important relationships that brought him to, and prepared him for, his new position as a U.S. District Judge.

Judge Meyer's confirmation marked an important moment in the essential process of filling appointments to the federal bench, which in the recent past had been stymied by Congressional impasse.

Invoking its new cloture rules, the Senate ended a Republican filibuster and proceeded to a confirmation vote with a majority, rather than the previously required supermajority.

The Senate voted 91-2 in favor of Judge Meyer's confirmation, filling a vacancy that had existed in the understaffed district court since the tragic and untimely death of Hon. Mark R. Kravitz in late 2012.

The Senate was well justified in its expression of confidence in Judge Meyer.

U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, who recommended Judge Meyer to President Obama for nomination, celebrated his confirmation, noting that Judge Meyer is "truly a lawyer's lawyer and a prosecutor's prosecutor – and now he will be a judge's judge."

During Judge Meyer's tenure as an Assistant U.S. Attorney I had the pleasure of working with him.

He habitually was well-prepared and knowledgeable about the applicable law and all relevant facts.

Equally important, Judge Meyer was always scrupulously fair and treated all with respect, including those he was charged with prosecuting.

As the Chief of Appeals, Judge Meyer's intellect and legal acumen was apparent as he improved the quality of the "red briefs" and conducted moot courts that were both challenging and demanding.

After being prepared for an argument by Judge Meyer, the real thing often seemed like the proverbial "walk in the park."

His keen intellect and passion for justice and fairness will be evident to all litigants who appear before him.

Born in 1963 in North Tarrytown (now known as Sleepy Hollow), New York, to Edward and Patty Ann Meyer, Judge Meyer was destined for a life in law and public service.

His father, whom Judge Meyer often has called his role model, first took office as a New York assemblyman when Judge Meyer was only seven years old and now is serving his fifth term as a Connecticut state senator.

Judge Meyer credits his father's life in public service and his role in shaping policy as his reason for choosing a career in law.

After 50 years of public service, Judge Meyer's father announced earlier this year that he will not seek reelection and will be retiring from the state senate.

Judge Meyer received his bachelor's degree in 1985 from Yale University and his J.D. in 1989 from Yale Law School, where he began his own commitment to public service.

While a law student, he counseled homeless clients as a student director of the Yale Law School Homelessness Legal Services Clinic and received the Thomas I. Emerson Prize for his distinguished paper on homelessness in Connecticut, entitled, "Establishing a Right to Shelter: Lessons from Connecticut."

The city of New Haven awarded Judge Meyer the Elm-Ivy Award in 1989 in recognition for his service to its homeless community.

This is an award that honors those whose efforts strengthen the ties between Yale University and its hometown.

Judge Meyer returned to Yale's clinical programs in 2010 as a visiting professor of the Yale Law School Supreme Court Advocacy Clinic, through which he has helped represent pro bono clients in more than two dozen matters before the U.S. Supreme Court by petitioning for certiorari, opposing certiorari, crafting merit briefs, and mooting others for arguments before the Court.

Professor Harold Koh, Sterling Professor of Law at Yale Law School, spoke at Judge Meyer's investiture and described a nearly 30-year friendship that began when Judge Meyer was his student.

Professor Koh remarked on Judge Meyer's brilliance and referred to him as the most accomplished international lawyer serving as an Article III judge today.

He praised Judge Meyer's commitment to public service, dedication to the less fortunate, fundamental decency and, not least, his boyish good looks – referring to him as "Captain America."

Professor Koh expressed confidence that Judge Meyer's career in the judiciary will be marked by intellectual rigor, empathy, and fearlessness.

After graduating from Yale Law School in 1989, Meyer served as a law clerk to three federal judges: Hon. James L. Oakes of the Second Circuit, Hon. Donald R. Ross of the Eighth Circuit, and Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun.

With his stellar academic background and coveted Supreme Court and appellate court clerkships, Judge Meyer could have landed any job.

He elected public service as a staff attorney at Vermont Legal Aid, where he represented clients who were subject to civil commitment proceedings on grounds of mental illness.

That early experience stuck with Judge Meyer.

In his response to the Senate Judiciary Committee's nomination questionnaire, Judge Meyer counted among his 10 most significant litigated matters one of his first cases as a staff attorney at Vermont Legal Aid, in which he argued before the Vermont Supreme Court that his client had the right to receive mental health treatment on a voluntary basis rather than have it forced upon him through involuntary civil commitment.

The Vermont Supreme Court sided with Judge Meyer and ruled that once a patient requests voluntary treatment, the state must show that voluntary treatment is not feasible before it may order involuntary treatment.

In our discussion, Judge Meyer described his work for Vermont Legal Aid as "a tremendously formative period" because he experienced "what it was like to represent the powerless and because it was humbling losing virtually every case."

Judge Meyer also commented that it was extremely enlightening to discover and appreciate the role mental health plays in both the legal system and important client interactions.

Following his tenure at Vermont Legal Aid, Judge Meyer spent two years in private practice before returning to public service as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut.

During his nine-year tenure at the U.S. Attorney's office, Judge Meyer prosecuted 12 criminal jury trials and countless others cases ranging from complex environmental crimes, to official corruption, to civil right violations, to wire fraud, to gun and drug cases.

From 2000 to 2004, Judge Meyer served as Appeals Chief for the U.S. Attorney's Office and argued numerous appeals before the Second Circuit.

Judge Meyer considers a complex money laundering case that he tried with colleague Mark Califano to be among the most significant matters he has litigated.

The case involved a Connecticut family's laundering of large sums of money generated by a major Florida narcotics trafficker.

Following an 11-week trial, the jury returned guilty verdicts on all counts against all five defendants.

All convictions and sentences were affirmed on appeal.

For his work on the case, Judge Meyer and his colleague were awarded the Department of Justice's Director's Award in 1999.

Hugh Keefe, who defended one of the defendants in the money laundering case, said that he and his fellow defense counsel dubbed Judge Meyer "The Computer" during the prosecution.

"During the trial day an esoteric or complex issue of law would arise and two hours after court adjourned we would be copied on a succinct six page memorandum of law authored by Jeff clearly setting out the issue and persuasively presenting the controlling law.

In addition to besting us daily on the law, Jeff Meyer was terrific in the courtroom.

He is the complete package as a litigator and will bring those same tremendous skills with him to the bench."

Ronald Apter, now assistant general counsel at The Hartford, was a law school classmate and later worked with Judge Meyer for nearly a decade in the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Apter said if he was going to appear in a case he would want to be before Judge Meyer.

The combination of his intellect, legal, and life experience, and his ability to listen and "hear the parties," will make him a truly great judge.

Reflecting on his tenure in the U.S. Attorney's Office, Judge Meyer said that he considers his prosecutorial experience the perfect preparation for his new position.

He specifically mentioned the value of time spent in court and lessons learned from role models in the U.S. Attorney's office and from the judges of Connecticut's district court.

Judge Meyer left the U.S. Attorney's office in 2004 to serve as senior counsel to the U.N.'s global investigation, led by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul A. Volcker, into fraud and corruption arising from the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program in Iraq.

As senior counsel, Judge Meyer led teams of lawyers investigating poor oversight and investigating and tracking more than $1.5 billion of illegal kickbacks paid to the Iraqi regime.

Judge Meyer was the principal author of the committee's final reports (totaling more than 2,000 pages), which served as the basis for a book that Judge Meyer later co-authored with Mark Califano concerning the scandal.

When Volcker led a 2007 investigation into the World Bank's anti-corruption safeguards, he again tapped Judge Meyer to assist in the investigation and to assist in compilation of the panel's final report.

"Working for the U.N. was a remarkable opportunity to travel the world and to learn about the legal systems of other countries" Judge Meyer declared.

He described his work for Volcker's commission as "a truly unique investigation into an international body that had been free from self-scrutiny with the regrettable result of exposing shortfalls in its ability to protect itself against significant corruption."

In 2006, Judge Meyer joined the faculty of Quinnipiac University School of Law in Hamden, Connecticut, where he taught diverse courses including professional ethics, international law, environmental law, and criminal procedure.

In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Judge Meyer supported several student societies and joined students on trips to Nicaragua and Guatemala to organize conferences on human rights, domestic violence, and mediation.

These trips reflect Judge Meyer's continuing interest in South and Central America; he spent a year as a Fulbright Scholar in Ecuador after his college graduation, and is fluent in Spanish.

In 2010, Quinnipiac University awarded Judge Meyer the Excellence in Teaching Award – the university's most prestigious academic honor.

Upon Judge Meyer's confirmation, Jennifer Brown, dean of the Quinnipiac University School of Law, said, "Jeff has enriched our curriculum, mentored students, and supported scholarship in ways that have made Quinnipiac a better place.

We are pleased and proud to know that Jeff will bring that same rigor, dedication, and compassion to his work as a federal judge."

In addition to his other commitments, in 2011 Judge Meyer represented Dr. William A. Petit, Jr., whose wife and two daughters were viciously murdered in a 2007 home invasion in Cheshire, Connecticut.

Representing and advising Dr. Petit on a pro bono basis, Judge Meyer advocated for legislative reform to allow victim impact statements in death penalty cases, and sought to prevent the mid-trial repeal of Connecticut's death penalty statute.

The Connecticut legislature ultimately repealed Connecticut's death penalty law, but for future cases only.

The murderers of Dr. Petit's family still are on death row.

Judge Meyer told me that representing Dr. Petit and sitting through the trials of both defendants in that case gave him tremendous insight into victims of crime and the importance of recognizing victims' rights in the adjudicative process.

Judge Meyer met his wife Linda while clerking in the Supreme Court; she clerked for Justice Sandra Day O'Connor when he clerked for Justice Blackmun.

Following her clerkship, Professor Linda Meyer taught at Vanderbilt Law School.

Since 1994, she has been teaching at Quinnipiac Law School.

In addition, Professor Meyer teaches "Western Civilizations," a college-level course, at Niantic Prison for Women.

Next year, in addition to her law school courses, Professor Meyer will teach a new course at Amherst College in Children's Literature and the Law.

Judge and Professor Meyer have two children, one in college and the other in high school.

In their precious free time they enjoy hiking, kayaking, playing tennis and being entertained by their dog and cat.

Judge Meyer took the oath on February 28, 2014, and has had a full docket from that moment forward.

Indeed, the interview for this article took place while Judge Meyer was simultaneously conducting two trials – a jury trial and a bench trial.

Judge Meyer loves trial work and the give-and-take in the courtroom and looks forward to the challenges.

Judge Meyer commented that the first several months have been "stunningly challenging" but the remarkable generosity of Judges Underhill, Eginton, Fitzsimmons, and Garfinkel, his judicial colleagues in the Bridgeport courthouse who have given freely of their time and counsel, has helped him immeasurably.

Referring back to the symbolic importance of the judicial robes and the judges who were important to him in his formative years as a lawyer, Judge Meyer shared with me and finds no small irony in the fact that he now occupies the chambers of the very first federal judge he ever met, Judge T. F. Gilroy Daly.

Judge Meyer recalled being before Judge Daly while working as a student with Yale Law School's Homelessness Legal Services Clinic in a matter that resulted in a favorable settlement requiring the government to fund much needed improvements to the blighted Father Panik Village housing project in Bridgeport.

Judge Meyer has come full circle and is now presiding over the courtroom where he began his legal career.

# Microsoft Closing Games for Windows Live Marketplace

The Games for Windows Live Marketplace is closing this month.

Microsoft has detailed the rhyme and reason as well as what this means for PC players:

"As part of the recent Xbox 360 system update, Microsoft Points will be retired and the Xbox.com PC Marketplace will be closed as of August 22, 2013," Microsoft explains.

"We encourage you to spend your Microsoft Points balance prior to this change.

Although you will not be able to purchase new games, you can continue to enjoy previously purchased content by downloading it through the Games for Windows Live client software as usual."

When Xbox 360's system update happens, Microsoft Points will convert to an equivalent cash value on your Live account -- because the Marketplace is going away on PC, and there will be nothing to buy on GFWL, there will be no rollover.

As Microsoft mentions, you should spend your Microsoft Points before August 22 to avoid losing those funds altogether.

To be clear, Games for Windows Live as a service will continue to operate.

A series of frequently asked questions on Xbox.com details the consequences.

Your existing purchased content remains yours, although the ability to buy it through the Marketplace will vanish.

This is another major change in the evolution of Microsoft Live, which will see major overhauls in the coming weeks leading up to Xbox One's launch.

# BioShock 2 drops GFWL, adds Minerva's Den on Steam

Celebrate good times3 hours ago - 4:30 PM on 10.03.20130

It's been a long time coming, but Minerva's Den for BioShock 2 is worth the wait.

The beloved DLC is now yours if you already owned the core game on PC -- otherwise, it's on sale for $4.99.

What's more, Steam Achievements, Big Picture Mode, and full gamepad support are in.

And Games for Windows Live and the SecuROM DRM are out!

"If you have already purchased BioShock 2 through a different digital partner, we've got you covered," reads a post by publisher 2K Games.

"Simply take the same game activation key you already own and 'activate' it within Steam.

Doing this will grant you access to BioShock 2, all of its multiplayer and Protector Trials DLC, as well as Minerva's Den."

Multiplayer now uses Steamworks and is said to be tweaked.

Matchmaking allows players to search for "any game" and character leveling is "quicker and easier."

Based on Anna Todd's best-selling novel which became a publishing sensation on social storytelling platform Wattpad, AFTER follows Tessa (Langford), a dedicated student, dutiful daughter and loyal girlfriend to her high school sweetheart, as she enters her first semester in college.

Armed with grand ambitions for her future, her guarded world opens up when she meets the dark and mysterious Hardin Scott (Tiffin), a magnetic, brooding rebel who makes her question all she thought she knew about herself and what she wants out of life.

The key to the book's success lies in its artful amateurism.

It replicates the tone of one teen confiding in another and in this anodyne screen translation, its intimacy is lost.

The real problem with After is that it's a lifeless slog of thinly written clichés, one that's missing the charismatic spark of the actual One Direction boys.

The kind of dispiriting effort that thinks it's scratching an itch for masochistic young girls, but primarily suggests that romance, desire and sexuality aren't worth genuinely exploring.

The problems may lie in Todd's novel, but regardless, characters act illogically, as though written by someone who napped through most of Intro to Psych and skipped English 101 altogether.

After opens with some narration about how certain moments in life seem to define a person, and from there, the clichés pretty much don't stop.

There are no featured audience reviews for After at this time.

There are no approved quotes yet for this movie.


The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry was established in December 2017 after years of public pressure.

# Banking royal commission: all you need to know – so far

The inquiry into banks and financial services firms has revealed malpractice that in some cases has ruined lives

First published on Thu 19 Apr 2018 18.38 EDT

Protesters rally outside the banking royal commission hearing.

The banking royal commission was established in late December, after years of public pressure from whistleblowers, consumer groups, the Greens, Labor, and some Nationals MPs.

Its first public hearings began on 13 March, and they will run at irregular intervals through 2018.

The royal commission has been asked to investigate whether any of Australia's financial services entities have engaged in misconduct, and if criminal or other legal proceedings should be referred to the commonwealth.

# The government owes voters an apology.

Opposing this banking commission was wrong | Katharine Murphy

It's also been asked to consider if sufficient mechanisms are in place to compensate victims.

We've heard evidence of appalling behaviour by Australia's major banks and financial planners from the past decade, including alleged bribery, forged documents, repeated failure to verify customers' living expenses before lending them money, and misselling insurance to people who can't afford it.

In this week's hearings, AMP admitted to lying to regulators, and the Commonwealth Bank admitted some of its financial planners have been charging fees to clients who have died.

AMP's chief executive became the first high profile casualty of the commission announcing he was standing down from the company with immediate effect.

The so-called big four banks – Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, ANZ, National Australia Bank – are being looked at.

They comprise four of the five largest companies in Australia by market value, holding an inordinate amount of power over the financial system.

Other companies including AMP, BT Financial, Aussie Home Loans and St George, and a number of small car finance companies will also be called, and more financial institutions will be asked to appear as the year rolls on.

Last year, the Commonwealth Bank, which is the largest company in the country, posted a full-year cash profit of $9.8bn, up 4.6%.

It was followed by Westpac (full-year profit $8.1bn, up 3%), ANZ ($6.4bn, up 12%), and NAB ($6.6bn, up 2.5%).

Australia's seven largest authorised deposit-taking institutions (including the big four) hold roughly $4.6 trillion in assets – around two and a half times the size of Australia's $1.8 trillion economy, as measured by nominal GDP.

## What is the problem with their financial advice?

The banks discovered long ago it was highly profitable to sell their customers financial advice and financial products.

If they could charge customers for financial advice, and if that "advice" consisted of purchasing their financial products, then they would enjoy a profitable feedback loop.

The business model was called "vertical integration".

Earlier this year, the corporate regulator published a report scrutinising the practice: "Vertically integrated institutions and conflicts of interest."

It looked at the quality of financial advice being offered by the two largest financial advice licensees owned or controlled by the Commonwealth Bank, ANZ Banking Group, Westpac, National Australia Bank and AMP.

It found their financial advisers had failed to comply with the best interests of customers in 75% of advice files reviewed.

It concluded there was an "inherent" conflict of interest arising from banks providing personal financial advice to retail clients while also selling them financial products.

It's not just poor financial advice that's affected bank customers.

The poor advice has combined with reprehensible behaviour by bank employees.

Since 1 July 2010, almost $250m in remediation has had to be paid to almost 540,000 consumers by financial services entities for poor conduct in connection with home loans.

The poor conduct included fraudulent documentation, processing or administration errors, and breaches of responsible lending obligations.

Since 1 July 2010, almost $90m in remediation has been paid to almost 17,000 consumers by financial services entities as a result of poor conduct in connection with car loans.

Over $11m in remediation has been paid to over 34,000 consumers by financial services entities for breaching responsible lending obligations in connection with credit cards.

Over $128m has been paid in remediation to consumers by financial services entities as a result of poor conduct in connection with add-on insurance.

## Aren't some banks already embroiled in scandal?

In August last year, the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (Austrac) announced it was suing the Commonwealth Bank for 53,700 breaches of money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws after the bank failed to report properly on $77m worth of suspicious transactions through its intelligent deposit ATMs over a number of years.

In November, the federal court imposed pecuniary penalties of $10m each on ANZ and NAB for attempting to manipulate the bank bill swap rate.

## What is the reaction so far to the royal commission?

The Turnbull government realised this week how bad the situation is.

After AMP executive Anthony Regan admitted that AMP had lied repeatedly to the corporate regulator, the treasurer, Scott Morrison, warned wrongdoers could face jail.

"That's how serious these things are," he said this week.

The former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce admitted he was personally wrong to have argued against a royal commission.

The Nationals senator John Williams said he was concerned the inquiry had been given too little time to unearth wrongdoing, and if it needed an extension of time it should be given it.

The finance minister, Mathias Cormann, made a similar argument.

But the government has also tried to take credit for the royal commission, saying it established it, and if it wasn't for the government the terms of reference wouldn't be so robust.

## But wasn't it the Liberals and Nationals who were so opposed to the commission?

The Coalition had to be dragged kicking and screaming to establish the royal commission.

For years, they rejected calls by the Greens and Labor to establish the commission, and when Malcolm Turnbull finally relented in November he presented the backdown as a "regrettable but necessary" step to deal with mounting political pressure and uncertainty for the industry.

He made the decision in the face of open revolt from some Nationals MPs and senators who had joined the push by the Greens and Labor to set up a banking commission of inquiry.

After Turnbull's announcement, Labor said it was "unforgivable" that the government had fought for 18 months against the opposition's calls for a royal commission, and noted that the prime minister had ruled out a royal commission just 48 hours earlier.

The Greens leader, Richard Di Natale, reminded voters that the Greens had been the first party to propose a royal commission "several years ago" and the idea had been consistently voted down by Labor, the Liberals and Nationals.

The royal commission will run through the rest of this year.

An interim report is due in September, and a final report is due in February 2019.

But there's a lot of time between now and then.

It may have its terms of reference changed.

Political career, 2010–2018.:Domestic policies.:Banking royal commission.

In 2014, Dastyari called for a royal commission into the banking and financial services sector. A number of scandals involving some companies increased pressure on the Federal Government to establish a royal commission with Labor promising to establish a royal commission should it win the 2016 federal election.
 As Chair of the Senate Economics Committee, Dastyari instigated the inquiries into financial practices, and led questioning of the big four banks regarding a string of financial advice scandals. He continued to push for a more substantial royal commission and vigorously pursued the banks when in office. He worked with Senate crossbenchers in 2017 to establish a powerful Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into Australia's big banks, putting more pressure on the Federal Government to establish a royal commission.


He was hospitalised for two and a half weeks before eventually recovering from the attack.

# Graham Norton reveals he was stabbed and left for dead in horrific attack

Graham Norton has revealed he was stabbed and left for dead in an attack in London.

The much-loved presenter admitted he had been stabbed in an attack while he was studying at college.

The 55-year-old spoke out about the near-death experience while appearing on Katie Couric's podcast.

The BBC host studied English and French briefly at University College Cork before dropping out.

He then moved to London to study Speech and Drama at Central School, and it was there he was attacked.

He said: 'I was mugged, I was mugged and I was stabbed as part of the mugging.'

'They hit me over the head with a thing, it sounded like a bit of plastic piping, but actually, it was a wooden thing, and the plastic piping was actually the noise your skull makes when you're being hit.'

'They ransacked through my bag and left me on the pavement and ran off, so I watched them go and thought I'll get up now.'

'But when I went to get up I felt like I was peeling myself off the ground, which was odd but when I looked down, I was just soaked with blood.'

'In the end, I lost half my blood,' the TV presenter revealed.

Admitting he previously thought it unrealistic when characters in plays announced when they've been injured, Graham said he found himself doing just that after being attacked.

'It is what you say, you have to say it out loud because it's so astonishing.

You look down and say "oh I've been stabbed".'

Graham revealed an elderly couple were the ones who found him, and said they 'saved his life' after ringing an ambulance.

He also admitted that he didn't think the attack was homophobic, as he was by himself at the time of the incident.

In 1989, Norton was mugged, beaten up, and stabbed by a group of attackers on a street in London. He lost half of his blood and nearly died. Norton said that an elderly couple were the ones who found him, and said they "saved his life" after calling for an ambulance. Norton said he did not think the attack was homophobic, as he was walking alone at the time.

In May 2010, the VC and the MC and bar were purchased by Lord Ashcroft and are displayed at the Lord Ashcroft Gallery in the Imperial War Museum.

(meta data) TITLE: Bernard William Vann VC - Lord Ashcroft Medal Collection

Place/date of birth: Rushden, Northamptonshire/July 9, 1887

Rank when awarded VC (and later highest rank): Acting Lieutenant Colonel

Capt. (A./Lt.-Col ) Bernard William Vann, M.C., late 1/8th Bn., attd. 1/6th Bn., Notts. & Derby. R. (T.F.).

For most conspicuous bravery, devotion to duty and fine leadership during the attack at Bellenglise and Lehaucourt on September 29th, 1918.

He led his battalion with great skill across the Canal Du Nord through a very thick fog and under heavy fire from field and machine guns.

On reaching the high ground above Bellenglise the whole attack was held up by fire of all descriptions from the front and right flank.

Realising that everything depended on the advance going forward with the barrage, Col. Vann rushed up to the firing line and with the greatest gallantry led the line forward.

By his prompt action and absolute contempt for danger the whole situation was changed, the men were encouraged and the line swept forward.

Later, he rushed a field-gun single-handed and knocked out three of the detachment.

The success of the day was in no small degree due to the splendid gallantry and fine leadership displayed by this officer.

Lt.-Col. Vann, who had on all occasions set the highest example of valour, was killed near Ramicourt on 3rd October, 1918, when leading his battalion in attack.

The Battle of Lautulae was a battle fought in 315 BC during the Second Samnite War, opposing the Roman Republic (led by dictator Quintus Fabius Maximus Rullianus) and the Samnites, who defeated the Romans.

(meta data) TITLE: Battle of Lautulae, 315 BC

The battle of Lautulae (315 BC) was the second major Samnite victory during the Second Samnite War, but one that didn't result in any long term advantages.

The first phase of the war had ended in a truce, but in 316 the Romans attacked Saticula, a Samnite ally, and the war resumed.

The city eventually fell to the Romans in 315, although at about the same time the Samnites captured Plistica.

They also gained control of Sora, on the River Liris, probably with the help of a pro-Samnite faction in the city, and at the same time increased the size of their army.

The Roman army was probably some distance to the south-east of Sora, around Saticula.

During the siege it was probably commanded by the consuls L. Papirius Cursor and Q. Publilius Philo, but faced with this new crisis the Romans appointed Quintus Fabius as dictator, with Quintus Aulius as his master of horse.

The dictator then led his army towards Sora.

Livy records two versions of the battle.

In both cases the Romans were besieging Sora, when their scouts reported that a large Samnite army was drawing near.

The Roman commander, here records as the consul, marched to intercept the Samnite army, meeting up with them at Lautulae, close to the port of Tarracina.

In the first account the battle lasted all day, and ended as a draw.

In the second the Romans suffered a defeat in which Quintus Aulius, the master of horse, was killed.

In this version of events a new master of horse, C. Fabius, was sent with reinforcements, and the combined army won a fresh victory, before resuming the siege of Sora.

Diodorus Siculus records the battle as a significant Roman defeat.

After capturing Plistica the Samnites had been reinforced, and it was the presence of this large hostile army close to Latium that convinced the Romans to appoint Quintus Fabius as dictator, with Quintus Aulius as his master of horse.

The Romans suffered heavy losses, and the army began to panic.

Only Quintus Aulius refused to flee, and stood alone against the Samnites, dying a glorious death.

The battle of Lautulae encouraged a number of Rome's allies to change sides, but the Samnites were unable to take advantage of their victory.

In the following year the Romans won a clear victory, probably at Tarracina, and the Samnites were expelled from Latium.

Although the war dragged on for another decade, the Romans were rarely seriously threatened again.

A look at the Roman conquest of the Italian Peninsula, the series of wars that saw Rome transformed from a small city state in central Italy into a power that was on the verge of conquering the ancient Mediterranean world.

A lack of contemporary sources makes this a difficult period to write about, but Cowan has produced a convincing narrative without ignoring some of the complexity.
