At a time when the papers only seem to care about deciding which candidate for PM’s plan for Brexit is more Brexit than the other guy’s, I figured it would be timely to reach for that other most-clichéd of our nation’s talking points in my opening comment today.
When in doubt, of course, talk about the weather.
But by Jove, it’s hot. Like, really hot. As in, “have you remembered to sunscreen the tapir, dear?” hot as The Times pictures desk reminds us this morning, with photos of the extraordinary measures taken by those baking under the continent’s latest heatwave.
Temperature records are falling dime-a-dozen, schools and roads have been closed across several countries for safety concerns, and the Spanish press have aptly dubbed the latest balmy weather, el infierno (hell). Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic all hit their highest-ever recorded June temperatures yesterday, with France and Switzerland expecting to see levels above 40C later today. Even in usually cauld Scotia where temperatures sit above a safer 20C, I think we can assume we are now in ‘taps aff’ territory.
Meteorologists have attributed the phenomenon to a jet of hot air originating on the plains of northern Africa, being blown northwards by movements in the jet stream, which in the UK is known as the “Spanish plume”.
You’d be a fool not to connect the frequency of the extreme weather we’ve seen in the last couple years to the climate emergency. And for once, hot air from politicians on the issue seems more than just that. Despite cries of overreaction from the opposition, French prime minister Edouard Philippe has suggested climate change is indeed to blame for the plume. While on Monday, a Parisian court found the state responsible for heat-related pollution that had caused two women’s respiratory illnesses. In response, Parisian officials have enforced a total ban on older diesel and petrol vehicles entering the city, with Marseilles, Lyon and Grenoble set to follow suit today.
If that’s got you thinking you’d just prefer to get away it from it all (maybe giving a city break to Madrid a miss on this occasion), well, why fly easyJet when you can actually take a jetpack? In an update on the weird and wonderful yesterday, Sam Rogers, a 23-year-old design student at Loughborough University, created the world’s fastest jetsuit from a 3D printer, able to fly at speeds of 56mph.
OK, so it might not get you to the Costa del Sol. But in continental climes like these, maybe that’s just as well.
Cervical cancer could be “eliminated” over the next decade in the West owing the success of the HPV vaccine, scientists have suggested. According to new meta-analysis of 60 million global patients published in The Lancet scientific journal, HPV rates in teenage girls fell by 83% on average across 14 western nations which adopted the vaccine between 2007 and 2015. The study also noted an 86% drop in cervical cancer infection rates among those aged 15 to 19 since vaccination began in 2008. (£)
Mette Frederiksen is set to become Denmark’s next prime minister following lengthy coalition talks led by her Social Democrats’ party. Despite attracting criticism for running an anti-immigration based campaign, the 41-year-old has instead pledged to prioritise environmental reform, including cutting Denmark’s carbon emissions by 70% by 2030. Frederiksen will lead a loose coalition of four centre-left parties which together won 91 of 179 parliamentary seats in this month’s general election.
The United States and North Korea are in talks to arrange a third summitbetween Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un, The Times reports. According to South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in, “behind-the-scenes” negotiations are currently underway to rectify the perceived failure of a second meeting between the leaders in Hanoi in February. US sanctions on North Korea remain in place, with Kim suggesting that North Korea would find a “new way” if Washington persisted. (£)
BUSINESS & ECONOMY
Boeing has been hit by fresh controversy over technical issues reported in its 737 Max aircraft. The US Federal Aviation Authority yesterday identified a “potential risk” during simulator tests, which must be rectified by Boeing before a current grounding on the aircraft in place since March can to be lifted. According to Reuters, which first reported the issue, the FAA identified longer-than-expected activation times for the aircraft’s stall-prevention systems.
Bitcoin has risen to its highest value in 18-months following the announcement of Facebook’s Libra e-currency. The cryptocurrency hit a value of $13,850 yesterday evening – a daily rise of 17% - before a sudden rout saw values settle at $12,220.43 during trading in New York, up 3.1%. Analysts cautioned that yesterday’s movements “felt a lot like last time”, referencing a period during January 2017 when Bitcoin’s value fluctuated between $3,000 and $20,000.
The Department for International Trade has recorded a sharp fall in foreign investment in the UK. According to new figures, the number of new business projects in the UK funded by overseas investment fell by 14% in 2018-19, including a 24% fall in the number of jobs created to 57,625 – its lowest level in seven years. Over the same period, the number of British businesses bought by overseas firms increased by eight per cent.
What happened yesterday?
There was little movement on the London market yesterday, as the latest anxieties over US-Chinese trade talks were softened by dovish comments coming out of the US Federal Reserve. By close of play, the FTSE 100 was down 0.08% at 7,416.39 points, with the pound also flat against the US dollar at $1.27 and 0.1% down on the euro at €1.12.
Stocks benefitted from a mid-morning boost after US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin suggested that progress was “possible”, and Bloomberg reported that the US could suspend the next round of planned tariff hikes on an addition $300 billion of Chinese imports. In the UK, governor Mark Carney suggested that the Bank of England would provide fiscal stimulus in the event of a no-deal Brexit, and the latest housing data showed mortgage approvals falling in May.
In equity markets, Evraz (up 3.97%) was the day’s biggest gainer, boosted on news that the largest US steel producer, Nucor, is set to increase its prices. Stagecoach (up 2.89%) also gained after reporting a 30% increase in full-year pre-tax profit, and announced that it has no plans to bid for any new UK rail franchises after operations end in November.
Distribution and outsourcing group Bunzl fell (down 1.49%) after suggesting its expectations for 2019 remain unchanged at its first-quarter trading update, connecting lacklustre overall trading with slowing underlying revenue growth.

COLUMNS OF NOTE
New Yorker columnist Benjamin Wallace-Wells looks at last night’s US Democratic presidential primary debate, and suggests that Elizabeth Warren has become the race’s surprise favourite. He questions, however, whether Warren’s diagnosis of the US political mindset is right – are American voters more concerned about “the structural change in our government and our economy”? Or, more in line with her Democratic opponents, is the problem Donald Trump?
In the FT’s latest briefing on Facebook’s Libra, Patrick Jenkins suggests that cryptocurrencies cannot fix financial exclusion as long as global infrastructure remains poor. He points that three-quarters of Libra’s “unbanked” target market in developing markets still do not have internet access, which would require investment and a more flexible global regulatory framework to overcome.

Gut Balancer should be fed on a daily basis to help support a healthy Gastrointestinal (GI) tract and to help support gut health and aid digestion. It is also ideal for older horses, poor doers and horses and ponies that lose condition at any time of year. Gut Balancer may also be fed to horses or ponies at times of increased stress, travelling, competition, change of yard or a change in hay or feed etc.
WINNER of the BETA International Innovation Awards
Supports gut health & aids digestion
Balanced combination of Pre and Pro-Biotics
Optimum levels of protected live yeast
1.5kg tub gives 1 month supply
Results seen in as little as 48 hours
Gut Balancer contains a protected live yeast of the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The yeast inside each granule is protected from acidity, heat and moisture by a layer of dead yeast cells which enhances stability meaning that more yeast cells reach the hindgut alive. Micro-organisms such as yeast which have a beneficial effect on health when eaten are often referred to as probiotics; when translated this means literally "for life". In the hindgut, probiotics such as specific species of yeasts if fed in sufficient amounts, and in a formulation that ensure they survive the conditions in the stomach and small intestines, can influence the balance between good and bad bacterial species. By using our unique protection system, we ensure the optimum level of live yeast reaches the hindgut without being affected by the conditions above. The benefits include stabilisation of the conditions in the large intestine resulting in the stimulation of natural fermentative activity, improving fibre digestion helping to realise and unlock potential from forages such as hay and haylage and aid the efficiency of digestion.

Psychosynthesis - a brief description
Psychosynthesis is a person-centred therapy, "synthesizing" and balancing all aspects of the person we are - whether a parent, a sibling, a teacher, a father or mother, an emergency worker, a university lecturer, or a counsellor!
In Psychosynthesis, all the various parts of us are sub-personalities - the angry person we might become when waiting for a late train, or the judgemental teacher we might become if situations feel out of control or the Helper or Carer we are when we look out for our younger siblings, but don't even realise we are doing so. Any one of these sub-personalities might have been discarded or thrown away in the past. And we may have emphasized only those parts of ourselves we want others to see.
In Psychosynthesis, the ignored, discarded - or really valued, can be integrated into our everyday personality again. Yet this time, they might even hold the greatest strength - even those frightening parts which might have seeped out, and which we might frantically choose to suffocate. It is only later that we realise what a lot of energy has drained away...

All Souls Church
Knoxville, Tennessee - United States
All Souls Church is a warm and vibrant non-denominational community in the heart of downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. We seek the peace of the city. God called the Hebrew people in Jeremiah 29:7 to “seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” The Hebrew word for welfare is shalom, which holds within it the ideas of peace, harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare, and tranquility. Isaiah described the place with shalom as having joy, health, economic opportunity, flourishing children, spiritual vitality, reconciliation, unity, and safety (Isaiah 65:17–25). Jesus talked of shalom many times, calling it the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven. We long to see shalom come to Knoxville, the place where we live, work, and play.

Jogira Sara Ra Ra Review, Start cast, Trailer, Ratings: Jogi ki jugaad kabhi fail nahi ho sakta,” Nawazuddin Siddiqui says in every scenario. When he tries to ruin Neha Sharma’s wedding, however, nothing he tries works. However, his achievements always turn against him. The movie is exactly the same.
Jogira Sara Ra Ra is a film starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui as a wedding planner who has vowed never to get married. The film is set in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Why? He already has six ladies living with him, and he doesn’t need any more. As a result, he readily accepts when Dimple (Meg Harrington) asks him to “disarrange” her marriage to Lallu (Mahaakshay Chakraborty). Everything he tries to accomplish backfires on him, from making the groom’s family demand money to breaking the dulha’s leg.
Jogira Sara Ra Ra Review, Start cast, Trailer, Ratings
In the end, he calls off the wedding by staging Dimple’s kidnapping with the help of his friend Manu (Rohit Chaudhary). Jogi, though, is caught up in the lies he spins. All of Jogi’s jugaads only serve to further entangle him with local thug Chaudhary (Sanjay Mishra) and two police inspectors named Yadav (Vishwanath Chatterjee and Ghanshyam Garg), aka Double Yadav.
Trailer for Jogira Sara Ra Ra Movie
This wacky comedy by Ghalib Asad Bhopali combines humor and mayhem. When Jogi and Dimple’s lackluster chemistry starts to wear thin, you may turn to the supporting cast for some much-needed laughs. The plot was revealed in its entirety in the trailer for Jogira Sara Ra Ra. And maybe the movie will bring a few more smiles to your face.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who has delivered amazing performances in the past, seems exhausted. When compared to Jogi, he fails to convince. Also, Neha Sharma’s portrayal of a wild country girl who plans to wreck her own wedding is just too dramatic.
Jogira Sara Ra Ra Movie Star Cast
The Kushan Nandy-directed film benefits from compelling performances and witty lines of conversation. The actor Mahaakshay Chakraborty, who plays the dorky Lallu, stands out. You feel bad for the guy because of how sincere he is, and then he gets misled. Sanjay Mishra, who always makes an impression, shines as Choudhary, making the most of his limited screen time. Rohit Chaudhary, who played Manu, too gave a stellar performance.
Jogira Sarah R. A. While there are some humorous moments, Ra ultimately falls flat. The tricks of Jugaadu Jogi leave us wanting.

In this experimental work, we intend to investigate the dynamic of a laser-induced bubble near a curved free surface. To this end, a cylindrical reservoir filled with water will be put in rotational motion about its axis to produce a parabolic free surface, whose curvature is related to the rotation speed. A transparent window, located in the bottom of the reservoir will be used to focus a pulsed laser beam beneath the free surface. The growth and collapse of the vapor bubble as well as subsequent jetting will be analyzed by a high speed camera. The focus will be put on the measurement of the velocity and height of the outer jet (splash) with respect to the curvature of the interface.

Daycare is a great way to socialize your dog, especially if you have a puppy or a shy dog. Puppies are very impressionable and the more they are socialized the more likely they will grow up to be well-adjusted dogs. If you have a shy dog, daycare can be a great tool to help your dog build his or her confidence and adjust to other dogs and people. Just remember it can take time for a shy dog to get used to daycare and really enjoy themselves.
Daycare is an excellent way to exercise your dog, although we do not recommend having your dog participate in daycare every day.
Daycare is very exhausting and your dog needs some time off to catch up on sleep. Additionally, doing daycare every day can lead to guarding behavior in some dogs, which is not something we want to see in a daycare environment.
Even those dogs that are mellower and do not enjoy non-stop play, benefit from the mental stimulation they get from daycare. There is always lots to watch and new smells to check out in daycare.
Daycare can help dogs that suffer from separation anxiety. It gives your dogs a place to go during the day when you cannot be with them and provides both mental and physical stimulation which will make them tired and more receptive to the training you do at home to overcome their anxiety.
Daycare is really no different than sending a child to school. Every child catches a cold or the flu at some point and some children have better immune systems than other children. The biggest difference between your dog and a child is that your dog cannot tell you a day or two before they are showing signs of being sick that their throat feels a little scratchy and often it is the days before they “act or look sick” that they are the most contagious. When we do know of something going around we will post a notice in our lobby and try to verbally notify all parents of dogs that we think might have been exposed. We also ask for help from the parents, as you are more likely to notice the subtle changes in your dog that indicate they might be feeling a little off and if you notice these signs we ask that you refrain from bringing your dog to daycare. However, even with all of us being very diligent in trying to prevent the spread of a virus or bacteria that makes our dogs sick it still cannot be completely prevented. Please refer to our separate handout for more information.
Daycare is similar to a contact sport for humans, except these participants are playing the game with their teeth and claws. The more active of a player your dog is the more likely they will get scratches and other marks on them. There is a playgroup supervisor in group with the dogs at all times and we monitor each group to keep play levels as safe as possible, but sometimes things do happen. If we notice anything, we will point it out to you, but remember, they are covered in hair and we will not see everything. If you do find a mark you feel may be concerning, please let us know.
Some dogs experience tender paws until they adapt to all the activity and our outdoor park areas. Often times they do not let us know that their feet are sore because they are too busy playing and having a good time and only start limping once they get home. If your dog has sensitive feet let us know and we can restrict the amount of time your dog plays outside.
The closer a dog is in contact with other dogs the more likely they are to come into contact with fleas or doggy lice. If you are concerned about your dog picking up one of these critters, please speak to your veterinarian about putting your dog on a preventative.
After a day of daycare, your dog will most likely go home hungry, thirsty, and tired. This is normal. During play, dogs might not take the time to stop and drink as much as they should. We always have fresh water available but many dogs are too distracted with playing. Do not be surprised if your dog goes home eats and passes out. This too is normal and is probably one of the primary reasons you bring your dog to daycare. Because dogs in daycare often do not take the time to take a break, we do nap rotations in the middle of the day. The naps are an hour long and give the dogs a break from play and each other, but they are still going to need some extra sleep at home.
We love feedback, so please communicate any questions or concerns that you may have. At the end of the day we want daycare to be an enjoyable experience for you and your dog!

Hobby Lobby also had their fall wreaths and garlands on sale for 40% off, so we bought a big old wreath for over the fireplace. Tomorrow is decorate for fall day, and repot my mums.


The concept of horizontal wells arises from riverbank filtration concepts. Riverbank filtration has been practiced for nearly 200 year in Europe, where the concept was to remove debris form polluted waters by drawing through the banks of rivers. Much of the concepts for groundwater flow are related to the filtration ability of water to move through a porous media. The concept was to dig trenches along the river and draw water from the trenches as opposed to the polluted rivers. The concept worked relatively well. The result is an abundant, dependable supply of high-quality water with a constant temperature, low turbidity, and low levels of undesirable constituents such as viruses and bacteria. Riverbank filtration also provides an additional barrier to reduce precursors that might form disinfection byproducts during treatment.
Now let’s look at this from another perspective, and we’ll pick on southeast Florida as is provides a great case study. Sea level rise will inundate coastal property, both via coastal flooding and from a rise in groundwater. Since most stormwater drainage depends on gravity flow, drainage capacity will suffer as sea level rises reducing the head differential between interior surface waters and tide. Saltwater intrusion will be exacerbated. Furthermore, reduced soil storage capacity, groundwater flow and stormwater drainage capacity will contribute to increased flooding during heavy rain events in low-lying areas. In low lying areas, current practices like exfiltration trenches will become impractical, as will dry retention will become wet retention.
Stormwater utilities will be faced with dramatic, currently unanticipated increases in capital expenditures and operating costs, and time will be needed for planning, design, securing permits and compliance. Additional local pumping stations on secondary canals will be needed to supplant the storm drainage system in order to prevent unacceptable ponding. Design capacities of these stations will depend on local rain patterns, drainage basin size and secondary canal system design. Many will operate continuously, which means ongoing operations will increase substantially. Hundreds of pumping stations may be needed in some communities.
Permits will be a major challenge due to contaminants in the runoff as regulated by MS 4 Stormwater permits, and the inability to treat this water under the current structure. The cost and energy required for stormwater treatment would be a major concern going forward. But what if we sent this continuous flow to water plants as raw water? All of a sudden we have a solution to two problems – stormwater and raw water supplies. How often do you see a 2 for 1 solution?

NASA's Ingenuity helicopter makes historic 1st flight on Mars
'Wright brothers moment' was 6 years in the making, scientists say
NASA's experimental helicopter Ingenuity rose into the thin air above the dusty red surface of Mars on Monday, achieving the first powered flight by an aircraft on another planet.
The triumph was hailed as a Wright brothers moment. The mini four-pound (1.8-kilogram) copter even carried a bit of wing fabric from the Wright Flyer that made similar history at Kitty Hawk, N.C., in 1903.
It was a brief hop — just 39 seconds — but accomplished all the major milestones.
"We've been talking so long about our Wright brothers moment, and here it is," said project manager MiMi Aung, offering a virtual hug to her physically distanced colleagues in the control room, as well as those at home because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Flight controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California declared success after receiving the data and images via the Perseverance rover. Ingenuity hitched a ride to Mars on Perseverance, clinging to the rover's belly when it touched down in an ancient river delta in February.
The $85 million US helicopter demo was considered high risk yet high reward.
Scientists cheered the news from around the world, even from space, and the White House offered its congratulations.
"A whole new way to explore the alien terrain in our solar system is now at our disposal," Nottingham Trent University astronomer Daniel Brown said from England.
This first test flight — with more to come by Ingenuity — holds great promise, Brown noted. Future helicopters could serve as otherworldly scouts for rovers, and eventually astronauts, in difficult, dangerous places.
Ground controllers had to wait more than three excruciating hours before learning whether the preprogrammed flight had succeeded 287 million kilometres away. The first attempt had been delayed a week because of a software error.
When the news finally came, the operations centre filled with applause, cheers and laughter. More followed when the first black and white photo from Ingenuity appeared, showing the helicopter's shadow as it hovered above the surface of Mars.
"The shadow of greatness, #MarsHelicopter first flight on another world complete!" NASA astronaut Victor Glover tweeted from the International Space Station.
Wow! The shadow of greatness, #MarsHelicopter first flight on another world complete! Congrats to our out of this world and out of that world team at @NASAJPL. pic.twitter.com/esWASeK9T3—@AstroVicGlover
Next came stunning colour video of the copter's clean landing, taken by Perseverance, "the best host little Ingenuity could ever hope for," Aung said in thanking everyone.
The helicopter hovered for 30 seconds at its intended altitude of three metres, and spent 39 seconds airborne, more than three times longer than the first successful flight of the Wright Flyer, which lasted a mere 12 seconds on Dec. 17, 1903.
To accomplish all of this, the helicopter's twin, counter-rotating rotor blades needed to spin at 2,500 revolutions per minute — five times faster than on Earth. With an atmosphere just one per cent the thickness of Earth's, engineers had to build a helicopter light enough — with blades spinning fast enough — to generate this otherworldy lift.
You wouldn’t believe what I just saw.

What it took to make this happen
More than six years in the making, Ingenuity is just 50 centimetres tall, a spindly four-legged chopper. Its fuselage, containing all of the batteries, heaters and sensors, is the size of a tissue box. The carbon-fibre, foam-filled rotors are the biggest pieces: Each pair stretches 1.2 metres tip to tip.
The helicopter is topped with a solar panel for recharging the batteries, crucial for its survival during the –90 C Martian nights.
NASA chose a flat, relatively rock-free patch for Ingenuity's airfield, measuring 10 metres by 10 metres. It turned out to be less than 30 metres from the original landing site in Jezero Crater. The helicopter was released from the rover onto the airfield on April 3. Flight commands were sent on Sunday, after controllers sent up a software correction for the rotor blade spin-up.
The little chopper with a giant job attracted attention from around the world, from the moment it launched with Perseverance last July until now. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger joined in the fun, rooting for Ingenuity over the weekend via Twitter. "Get to the chopper!" he shouted, re-enacting a line from his 1987 sci-fi film Predator.
Up to five helicopter flights are planned, each one increasingly ambitious. If successful, the demo could lead the way to a fleet of Martian drones in decades to come, providing aerial views, transporting packages and serving as scouts for astronauts. High-altitude helicopters on Earth could also benefit — imagine choppers easily navigating the Himalayas.
Ingenuity's team has until the beginning of May to complete the test flights. That's because the rover needs to get on with its main mission: collecting rock samples that could hold evidence of past Martian life, for return to Earth a decade from now.

Although several tools for the analysis of ChIP-seq data have been published recently, there is a growing demand, in particular in the plant research community, for computational resources with which such data can be processed, analyzed, stored, visualized and integrated within a single, user-friendly environment. To accommodate this demand, we have developed PRI-CAT (Plant Research International ChIP-seq analysis tool), a web-based workflow tool for the management and analysis of ChIP-seq experiments. PRI-CAT is currently focused on Arabidopsis, but will be extended with other plant species in the near future. Users can directly submit their sequencing data to PRI-CAT for automated analysis. A QuickLoad server compatible with genome browsers is implemented for the storage and visualization of DNA-binding maps. Submitted datasets and results can be made publicly available through PRI-CAT, a feature that will enable community-based integrative analysis and visualization of ChIP-seq experiments. Secondary analysis of data can be performed with the aid of GALAXY, an external framework for tool and data integration. PRI-CAT is freely available at http://www.ab.wur.nl/pricat. No login is required.

Minecraft is a popular sandbox video game that allows players to explore and build in a virtual world. The game regularly releases updates and snapshots to introduce new features, fix bugs, and make balance changes. In the Minecraft 1.20.2 snapshot 23w31a, there were significant changes made to villager trading and other aspects of the game.
Villager Trade Nerf
One of the major changes in Minecraft 1.20.2 snapshot 23w31a was the nerf to villager trading. Villagers are non-player characters in the game that players can interact with and trade various items. Prior to the snapshot, villager trading was a popular and efficient way for players to obtain valuable resources. However, Mojang, the developer of Minecraft, decided to make adjustments to balance the game.
The specific details of the villager trade nerf are not provided in the search results. However, based on the information available, it can be inferred that the changes made villager trading less lucrative or more challenging for players. This could include reducing the availability of certain valuable items or adjusting the trade prices.
Diamond Ore Generation Changes
In addition to the villager trade nerf, the Minecraft 1.20.2 snapshot 23w31a also introduced changes to diamond ore generation. Diamond ore is a rare and valuable resource in the game used for crafting powerful tools and armor. The specific details of the changes to diamond ore generation are not provided in the search results. However, it can be assumed that these changes could affect the availability or distribution of diamond ore in the game world.
Minecraft 1.20.2 is the version of the game that includes the changes introduced in the 23w31a snapshot. It is important to note that snapshots are pre-releases of upcoming Minecraft versions and may contain bugs or unfinished features. The purpose of snapshots is to allow players to test and provide feedback on new additions to the game before they are officially released.
In conclusion, the Minecraft 1.20.2 snapshot 23w31a introduced a villager trade nerf and changes to diamond ore generation. These changes aimed to balance the game and provide a new gameplay experience for players. It is important to keep in mind that snapshots are pre-releases and may undergo further changes before the official release of Minecraft 1.20.2.

Timed with World Ocean’s Day Rolex has today released the documentary “Perpetual Planet: Heroes of the Oceans” which is free to watch online.
The documentary features oceanographer and Rolex Testimonee Sylvia Earle along with marine scientists, to tell the story of work being undertaken across the planet to protect the oceans’ fragile ecosystems.
Commissioned as part of Rolex’s Perpetual Planet initiative, the documentary was created to support and create awareness of the people devising solutions to the Earth’s growing environmental challenges. According to Rolex, “the initiative derives from Rolex’s legacy as a company that has traditionally fostered exploration for the sake of discovery. However, today’s explorers are increasingly concerned about the balance of the Earth’s ecosystems.”
The hour-long documentary — produced by the BBC Studios’ Science Unit — highlights seven explorers (“Heroes”) dedicated to the conservation of the environment. Watch the full documentary here at Rolex.org.

Berkadia Arranges $74M for 2 FL Communities
The firm secured $34.5 million for The Queue Apartments in Fort Lauderdale and $39.5 million for Advenir at the Oaks in Ocoee.
By IvyLee Rosario
Berkadia has secured a total of $73.9 million in financing for two multifamily communities, Advenir at the Oaks in Orlando’s submarket of Ocoee and The Queue Apartments in Fort Lauderdale. Berkadia’s Senior Managing Director Charles Foschini, Managing Director Christopher Apone and Senior Analyst Lourdes Carranza-Alvarez arranged both loans.
The Queue Apartments
The firm arranged $34.5 million in acquisition financing for the newly built Class A Queue Apartments, on behalf of Boardwalk Properties, who purchased the community for $53 million from Fazio Properties. AIG originated the 10-year term loan, which included four years of interest only at an aggressive interest rate and a 65 percent LTV ratio.
Located at 817 SE 2nd Ave., the 191-unit Queue was constructed in 2017. The community offers studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom floorplans ranging from 529 to 1,275 square feet across seven stories. Interior features include granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, washer/dryers, high ceilings, private balcony/patios, wood-inspired flooring and oversized doors. Residents have access to amenities such as a zen garden, two-story gym, dog park and pet space, private entertaining suite, clubhouse, courtyard pool, electric car charging station, rooftop terrace and fireside lounge. Situated in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, The Queue is within close proximity to the Broward County Convention Center, Port Everglades, Broward Health Medical Center and Fort Lauderdale International Airport. The community also offers close access to Interstate 95 and Florida’s Turnpike.
“Metro wide leasing will increase throughout the region, but demand will remain high as annual absorption doubles that of 2017. The Queue’s 95 percent occupancy at time of sale is a prime example of this, and high-end amenities with close proximity to public facilities will continue to attract tenants and investors,” Foschini told Multi-Housing News.
Advenir at the Oaks
Berkadia also arranged a $39.5 million refinance loan through Freddie Mac for Advenir at the Oaks, a 408-unit community owned by Advenir Inc. The seven-year term loan offers three years interest-only at a competitive interest rate. The permanent financing was also originated with a 75 percent LTV ratio.
Located at 3100 and 3200 Old Winter Garden Road, the property was built in two phases from 1989 to 1991 and comprises one-, two- and three-bedroom units ranging from 670 to 1,100 square feet, across 20 three-story and nine two-story buildings. Interior features include walk-in closets, dishwashers, vaulted ceilings, private balcony/patios, washer/dryer hookups, microwave ovens and window coverings. Residents have access to amenities such as a fitness center, clubhouse, playground, laundry facilities, swimming pool and spa, as well as basketball and tennis courts. Situated 20 minutes from downtown Orlando, the community is within close proximity to Florida’s Turnpike, Spessard L. Holland East-West Expressway and attractions such as Universal Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World.
“Orlando’s long-term developments, such as the Creative Village and Lake Nona Town Center, are prime examples of the city’s consistent growth, indicating sustained housing demand in a market with robust fundamentals,” Apone told Multi-Housing News.

To love the truth is to hate the lies:
I have often written about the importance of truth, and how Christians especially must love the truth. All those who claim to follow Christ will of course love God, and since God is true, they should all have a love for the truth. The two go together of course.
There is a flip side to all this, however. To love God means not just to love the truth but to abhor lies. Hating lies and deception is as much a part of the Christian’s call to love God as is the call to love, serve and promote the truth. Indeed, one cannot affirm and promote truth without at the same time standing against lies and falsehoods.
But we live in an age in which to affirm truth suggests we are narrow-minded, bigoted, judgmental and unloving. All the more reason to stand for truth and oppose falsehood. Let them call us what they want. We must be people of truth, and that means we must be people who resist lies.
And lies are all around us. Indeed, our culture celebrates, endorses and promotes lies while attacking and denigrating the truth. Consider just some of the things that are perfectly true that our PC culture goes ballistic over and claims are examples of hate speech:
-social justice begins in the womb
-all lives matter
-history is important
-we must learn from history
-there is such a thing as right and wrong
-not all religions are true
-love of country is not evil
-hard work and personal responsibility are worth celebrating
-most religious leaders are not abusive
-most police are doing a good job
-marriage is between a man and a woman
-mums and dads are important
-the innocence of children should be protected
-freedom of speech is vital
-religious liberty matters
-the cancel culture is corrosive
-Political Correctness is destroying us
Many more items can be added to that list. But our secular left culture is reversing everything, turning truth into lies, and lies into truth. It is the same as the prophet Isaiah warned about 2 ½ millennia ago: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter” (Isaiah 5:20).
Thus today we are expected to lie as a matter of course:
-We are expected to believe, and to say, that biological sex means nothing, and a guy putting on a dress is a woman. That is a lie and we should have no part of it.
-We are expected to believe, and to say, that marriage can be between any people of any gender and of number. That is a lie and we should have no part of it.
-We are expected to believe, and to say, that Western culture has only always been evil, based on racism, oppression and hatred. That is a lie and we should have no part of it.
-We are expected to believe, and to say, that being white is inherently evil, a sign of unfair privilege, and something to be repented of. That is a lie and we should have no part of it.
-We are expected to believe, and to say, that killing babies in the womb is a woman’s right to choose, and is no different than clipping one’s fingernails. That is a lie and we should have no part of it.
-We are expected to believe, and to say, that Christianity is a bigoted and hate-filled religion that is the source of all our woes. That is a lie and we should have no part of it.
-We are expected to believe, and to say, that socialism is the ideal political and economic system, and one that Jesus supports. That is a lie and we should have no part of it.
You get the drift. We have made an artform out of turning lies into truth. And we are demanding of people that they embrace these lies as if they were truth. And we are now routinely punishing people who speak the truth and refuse to run with lies and falsehoods.
This is a very scary place to be in my friends. No society will last long when it wars against truth and seeks to build a culture on a foundation of lies. Indeed, just as no individual will thrive and survive when living in a web of lies, so too entire nations. Christians must affirm truth while exposing lies. That is our biblical responsibility.
In previous articles I have listed the many passages which speak to the importance of truth, the need for truth, and why we must share the truth and live by the truth. But there are also many biblical passages that warn against lies and falsehoods, and how we must abhor them. Let me offer just some of the key texts on this:
Proverbs 13:5 The righteous hates falsehood,
but the wicked brings shame and disgrace.
Psalm 119:163 I hate and abhor falsehood,
but I love your law.
Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
But those who deal truthfully are His delight.
Psalm 52:3 You love evil more than good,
and lying more than speaking what is right.
Ezekiel 13:8 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Because you have uttered falsehood and seen lying visions, therefore behold, I am against you, declares the Lord God.”
Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things that the Lord hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who sows discord among brothers.
Proverbs 12:19 Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
Notice how often we have these opposites paired together: to love truth is to hate falsehood; to speak truth is to refrain from lies; and so on. They go together, and the Christian is one who is equally passionate about affirming truth as he is about renouncing error.
And that is how it must be. One cannot say Jesus is the only way to God without at the same time saying Buddha or Muhammad are not the way to God. One cannot say marriage is between a man and a woman without at the same time saying two men exchanging vows do not make a marriage. One cannot say that life is sacred without at the same time saying abortion is wrong.
To state truth means to renounce its opposite. As Charles Spurgeon once rightly stated, “He who does not hate the false does not love the true.” Christians must be people of truth. And that means we must not be cavalier and unconcerned about falsehood. We should hate lies as much as we love the truth.
To conclude, various writers and thinkers could be called upon here, but we can seldom do better than appealing to the great G. K. Chesterton. A few of his quotes will suffice here:
“We shall soon be in a world in which a man may be howled down for saying that two and two make four, in which people will persecute the heresy of calling a triangle a three-sided figure, and hang a man for maddening a mob with the news that grass is green.”
“Great truths can only be forgotten and can never be falsified.”
“The whole truth is generally the ally of virtue; a half-truth is always the ally of some vice.”
“Truth is sacred; and if you tell the truth too often nobody will believe it.”
“It is easy to be a madman: it is easy to be a heretic. It is always easy to let the age have its head; the difficult thing is to keep one’s own. It is always easy to be a modernist; as it is easy to be a snob. To have fallen into any of those open traps of error and exaggeration which fashion after fashion and sect after sect set along the historic path of Christendom – that would indeed have been simple. It is always simple to fall; there are an infinity of angles at which one falls, only one at which one stands. To have fallen into any one of the fads from Gnosticism to Christian Science would indeed have been obvious and tame. But to have avoided them all has been one whirling adventure; and in my vision the heavenly chariot flies thundering through the ages, the dull heresies sprawling and prostrate, the wild truth reeling but erect.”
“What we suffer from today is humility in the wrong place. Modesty has moved from the organ of ambition. Modesty has settled upon the organ of conviction; where it was never meant to be. A man was meant to be doubtful about himself, but undoubting about the truth; this has been exactly reversed. Nowadays the part of a man that a man does assert is exactly the part he ought not to assert–himself. The part he doubts is exactly the part he ought not to doubt – the Divine Reason. . . . The new skeptic is so humble that he doubts if he can even learn. . . . There is a real humility typical of our time; but it so happens that it’s practically a more poisonous humility than the wildest prostrations of the ascetic. . . . The old humility made a man doubtful about his efforts, which might make him work harder. But the new humility makes a man doubtful about his aims, which makes him stop working altogether. . . . We are on the road to producing a race of man too mentally modest to believe in the multiplication table.”

The Solar Orbiter mission, during its extended phase, will give us the unique opportunity to obtain glimpses of the solar poles for the first time. The highly tilted trajectory of the spacecraft outside the ecliptic plane enables high-quality observations of the polar magnetic field. While numerous models exist to predict the magnetic field in polar regions, this mission will provide new data to validate these models. To leverage this valuable information, we have developed a novel code for calculating the three-dimensional magnetic field in the solar corona. Our code employs a Yin-Yang grid to address convergence issues encountered at the poles. Consequently, utilizing the new magnetic field data as boundary conditions, we aim to compute the global coronal magnetic field, encompassing the previously unexplored polar regions. To validate our code, we initially test it using a semi-analytical solution with synthetic boundary conditions derived from this solution. Subsequently, we employ currently available data to reconstruct the magnetic field in the corona. Our extrapolations successfully capture various features observed on the Sun, including the locations of coronal holes and coronal loops. We are waiting for the Solar Orbiter data hopping that we can use our code to answer open research questions in solar physics like the open flux problem.

Kernel Rating (out of 5):
MPAA Rating: PG-13 Length: 111 minutes
Age Appropriate For: 14+. This is a coming-of-age tale set against a grown-up romance between a depressed mother and a criminal, so there’s some cursing, some violence, the discussion of how traumatizing miscarriages and terminated pregnancies are for women, and a fair amount of erotic tension, implied sexual activity, and sexual innuendo. This is really a movie targeted for older female audiences, so perhaps could be appropriate for mothers and teen daughters.
Do you think a woman unequivocally needs a man for fulfillment? Do you think a man who bakes you a pie but also happens to be a criminal is a totally appropriate father figure for your child? These are the kinds of frustrating plot points of ‘Labor Day,’ an impressively marginalizing film for women masquerading as a Nicholas Sparks-like love-conquers-all romance.
By Roxana Hadadi
Maybe the original novel “Labor Day,” by Joyce Maynard, is charming. Maybe the depressed-housewife-falls-in-love-with-a-criminal plot works in the written form. But as a film, directed and adapted by Jason Reitman and starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin? As a film, “Labor Day” is infuriating, woman-agency-stealing drivel.

I would love some advise on this issue. My 4 year old had his first asthma attack (completely out of the blue) 2 years ago so when he was 2 and a half. This was in the spring and doctors think hayfever may have set it off. He stayed two nights in hospital recovering, then was sent home with Salbutamol and Prednisolone for a further 3 days. At this point they called it ""sensitive air ways with a tendency for a persistent wheeze"" and we were told to take him to the GP for a review in 6-8 weeks. However, just a few weeks later he again had to go the A&E with a bad wheeze, got some more Prednisolone and was sent home the next day.
We were told to give him Salbutamol 3-4 puffs every morning and evening until a review could be done, now pushed back until October. We had the review and it was fine, no wheeze so was told it was all fine. November and December he was ill a lot with every flu and virus there was around, then January he had another attack and was treated at the hospital with a nebuliser. Got some more Prednisolone and sent home with no overnight stay. Then the same thing happened in February, this time he was treated with a nebuliser at the GP surgery because I took him there for an emergency appointment. We were sent to the A&E and he was admitted and spent the night there.
Finally we were given Clenil and he was put on 200mg 2 puffs twice a day by the pediatrician we saw there. Was told we should have him allergy tested to find his triggers. We had this done after much resistance from the NHS because of the cost and he is allergic to cats and grass. In March that year he had a further attack treated at the A&E before finally the Clenil kicked in properly and he was fine until November last year when he was 4 years old and woke us in the middle of the night gasping for breath and turning purple on the lips and ears. He was treated at home by the ambulance people and taken to hospital where they believed it was croup and a widespread wheeze. Was told his medication also needed a review and told to book a routine appointment with his GP. As our surgery is very busy this appointment was first week of February this year. His GP said his dose of Clenil was much too high and told us to give him 1 puff twice a day (still 200mg). Within 2-3 days the nighttime coughs returned and he started looking poorly, complaining of tiredness and wanted to be carried on the way home from nursery school (it's a 20 minute walk he used to skip or run). A few days later he started asking for his blue inhaler first thing in the morning and again at night and within 2 weeks we were giving him 3 puffs every morning, night and sometimes during the day.So I took him back to the surgery (different GP) and she put him back on the higher dose and wanted him referred to the pediatrics as he was NOT under pediatric care and didn't have an asthma plan or anything. This was something we had been fighting for for over a year but had been refused over and over again.
Now, 8 weeks on, we are still waiting to get his appointment for the pediatric team and he has developed a habit(?) of persistent throat clearing. I took him to the GP to ask why he was doing this and this GP wants him checked to see whether he actually has asthma or not, as he is struggling even with such a high dose of Clenil. He thinks, as my son always has a runny nose, that it could all be related to allergy and a runny nose and that he doesn't have asthma. I'm extremely confused now and frankly a bit fed up.
He has a younger brother (1 year old) that developed a persistent wheeze after a cold when he was 5-6 months old and he was instantly referred to pediatric care and has been taking Montelukast since he was 7 months old. He no longer has a wheeze because of it.
We have tried to get Montelukast so many times for my older son but nobody wants to give it out without a referral to the pediatricians and it seems nearly impossible to get an appointment with them.
Meanwhile he is struggling with tiredness, coughing and persistent ""flu"" symptoms and with the hayfever season coming around the corner I'm very concerned as he seems to be slipping between the cracks of the national health service. It's extremely difficult to get an appointment with the GP, if you want to see someone other than a locum doctor within 3 weeks, and the hospital is not being much more cooperative.
I don't understand how he can have had so many admissions to hospital with asthma attacks if he does not have asthma? We know he has recurring episodes of wheezing, and we know his triggers like cats and grass. Is it so difficult for everyone to get a diagnosis for a child in the UK? He has never been tested with a peak-flow meter or seen a pediatrician outside of A&E.

Mayor welcomes legislation, criticises ARC bailout
Mayor welcomes legislation, but criticises ARC 'bailout'
North Shore City's Mayor George Wood has welcomed the Auckland transport legislation introduced today as a step forward for the region but is critical of what he sees as a major financial bailout for the Auckland Regional Council (ARC) using money the region had earmarked for transport.
"I'm disappointed that 15 per cent of the significant Infrastructure Auckland assets and funding that were specifically for transport and stormwater projects - all vitally needed in our region - could now be diverted by the ARC for other general areas of its operation," says Mayor Wood.
He says that concern is doubled by the loose arrangements in the legislation for the governing of the new proposed Auckland Regional Holdings (ARH) body that will hold $1.2bn of regional assets and funding, taken over from Infrastructure Auckland, which will be disestablished from July 1, 2004.
"The legislation is pretty robust around the appointment for a business-like board for the new Auckland Regional Transport Authority, but the same robustness doesn't seem to apply to the Auckland Regional Holdings asset and funding body. There it appears members of the board could be politicians or council staff members. I can't see why we aren't applying the same strict process and criteria for appointing that board. After all, it will be managing the huge funding and assets for the region," says Mayor Wood.
"The Government is effectively offering the ARC a financial bailout. I don't see why any money from IA should go to help the ARC out of the hole it has dug for itself because of the way it has handled its rating issues over recent years. It has backtracked on its long term financial strategy and now the Government has given it this handout at the expense of much needed transport funding," he says.
Mayor Wood says the legislation allows the ARC to apply only a minimum of 85 per cent of the funds received from ARH for transport and stormwater purposes. The restriction in the use of ARH funds will be reviewed in 2008.
"It should have to spend 100 per cent of the funds on transport and stormwater. Why are we giving them the opportunity to not focus this funding where it belongs? We have massive stormwater and transport projects lining up for urgent implementation."
Mayor Wood says on a positive note he is pleased to see that the Government is going to appoint an establishment chairperson for the new regional transport body.
"We asked the Government for that and I congratulate them for listening. We need an independent person to drive this process and bring all the parties together to get this body up and running as soon as possible"
He says he is also pleased that the Government is sticking to its commitment on the delivery and timing of the new funding package for Auckland's transport.
"Originally the Government said we had to get all our
regional policies updated before we could get any new money.
It's now realised that would just delay things too much and
we need the funding as soon as possible. We need more time
to get our policies in line and the region will be fully
committed to doing that as soon as we can - but we need the
funding in advance of that process to ensure things can


10/07 – Brantly’s “Hurricane Delta” Wednesday Morning Update
(WXXV) — Hurricane Delta made landfall at around 5:45 a.m. (Central time) Wednesday in Puerto Morelos, Mexico as a Category 2 with maximum sustained winds of 110 miles per hour.
A slower northwestward to north-northwestward motion is forecast to begin on Thursday, and a northward motion is likely Thursday night and Friday.
On the forecast track, the center of Delta will move over the northeastern portion of the Yucatan Peninsula this morning. Delta is forecast to move over the southern Gulf of Mexico this afternoon, be over the southern or central Gulf of Mexico through Thursday, and approach the northern Gulf Coast on Friday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 105 mph with higher gusts. Although some additional weakening is likely as Delta moves over the Yucatan peninsula this morning, re-strengthening is forecast when the hurricane moves over the southern Gulf of Mexico Wednesday night and Thursday, and Delta could become a Category 4 hurricane again by late Thursday. Weakening is expected as Delta approaches the northern Gulf Coast on Friday.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles. A WeatherFlow observing site at Puerto Morelos, Mexico, has recently reported sustained winds of 54 mph and a gust to 75 mph after the passage of the center over that location. A wind gust to 64 mph was recently reported on Cozumel, Mexico.
