Inter President Massimo Moratti hailed his team after going out on away goals to Tottenham, 4-4 on aggregate. "We're all very proud of this team."
The Nerazzurri had lost the first leg 3-0 at White Hart Lane, but won by the same scoreline at San Siro to force extra time. A 4-1 victory was not enough, so they crashed out of the Europa League in the Round of 16.
"The players did what the media did not want to predict, which was bring out all their pride," Moratti told Inter Channel.
"We are all very proud of this team and I can only compliment them on their efforts. We still went out, but if it had been the Champions League then I would've been much more disappointed with that...
"Extra time could certainly weigh on us on Sunday against Sampdoria, but psychologically this was a very important game.
"All of us fans want to throw everything out when things go badly, but when things go well we understand better the qualities that each individual has.
"Tonight we realised that we can count on certain young players and others that are not so young, those who have character and pride. This mix is what must be maintained."

From experience, licensing, and a proven track record you will be set to call for your roofing project bid.1. Make sure that the roofing company that you choose has years of experience and are familiar with the different types of roofing repairs and construction. You can ask the contractor how long they have been doing repairs and if they have before and after photos or other examples of past jobs. Flat tiles, felt materials, slate materials, and other types of roofing examples should be available with an experienced roofer. 2. Is the company certified, licensed, and insured to do roofing work? Roofing jobs can be very dangerous and there is always a chance of a worker slipping and injuring themselves so be sure they are insured! Along with being licensed you will want to make sure the roof repairs being completed will pass fire code specifications for your buildings safety.3. What type of warranty or guarantee can the roofer provide to you with your purchase of their services? This is important because your roof is the main protection and preventative measure towards any future interior damages and deterioration. These damages can cause many dollars of damage! If you live in South Dakota there are many storms, rain, snow, heat, and extreme temperatures so make sure when selecting a Sioux Falls Roof Repair company they can assure you your roof repairs will hold up overtime through these conditions.

Roofing Contractors - What Do They Do?
Your roof will eventually have damage. And with that damage comes more problems. Leaks can occur, pouring water to the interior of your home. If you do not want this to happen, then you can try replacing your entire roof. But that would cost a lot, especially if you have shingles. An alternate method here would be roof repair. Roof repair can be done by you and with the help of your family or friends. So if you want to stop leaks without using a large sum of money, then you better try roof repair. How do you repair Leaking roofs? Here's how:The first thing that you have to do is to ready the materials you would need in the roof repair. You would need binoculars, flat-soled shoes, weighed markers, hammer, nails, metal bristles brush, rags, sharp knife, roofing cement, trowel, roof patching fabric and gloves.Fix any cracks and other source of leaks in flat roofing materials. Put roofing cement on it, then a piece of roof patching fabric and add roofing cement. With this, roof repair should be complete.
At some time or another most people will be encounter a leaky roof on their home. Knowing roofing repair is a fairly easy task, especially if you are somewhat of a handyman. If not, it is still possible to do this on your own. There is no need to hire a expert. Since you have a leaking roof, it does not mean that it is time to change the entire roof, it simply means that one spot came loose. If you have a flat roof, where water is permitted to sit and rot away at the shingles, you are going to have more leak problems.The initial thing you'll need to do is determine if you have a shingle that is missing. It is usually easy to see, other times, it is not so easy. Look and see if the roof caulk is missing, this would be a good indicator of where to begin your roofing repair. If you can't tell exactly where the leak is coming from, you can go inside your home and try to estimate where exactly the leak is coming from, and go straight up from there. Of course there is no guarantee this will work.And just because you call a roofing repair company this doesn't always mean you'll end up having to get your whole roof repaired. Beware though, many local roof repair companies will try to get you to replace the whole roof when it may not really be necessary. Some of these roof repair companies are what I call "storm chasers". They will come into town after a big storm and pressure people into getting their roof replaced. The problem is that many of them do shoddy work and then when there are problems, the roofing company is not around as they have moved on to the next town.
Ten Standard Questions to Ask When Hiring a Commercial Roofing Contractor
Flat roofs are completely different from sloped roofs. Water can run down sloped roofs and go down to the drain. But that is not the case on flat roofs. The entire flat roof must have a layer of watertight seal so that water cannot come through the roof and cause leaks in the house. But like the sloped roof, flat roofs can get damaged and thus need roof repair. It's a good thing that you can do roof repair on flat roofs, as long as you know how to. How do you do it? Here's how.The first thing you should do is to prepare the items you'll need for the roof repair. Get a mallet, roofing nails, putty knife, utility knife, brooms and roofing cement. These are all the materials needed to repair your flat roof. To begin roof repair, go to your roof and locate the problems. If you found peeled regions or fractures on it, then do the following steps: Get rid of the dust and dirt on the roof using the broom. Roofing cement cannot stick on surfaces with dirt, that's why you need to make sure that the entire area is clean. Now cut a shape on to the area where the fracture or peel was discovered. If there are multiple fractures or peels, make use of the same shapes for uniformity. Use the cut shape to make a pattern on the replacement shingles. The size and shape that you create on the replacement shingle should be accurate. If you made a mistake on the size, create multiple replacement shingles so that the shingles can be on the same level as the area on it. Make another replacement shingle. This one must be at least 2 inches larger than the other shingles.Put the putty knife in the area of the edges. Put roofing cement under the edges. Now, attach the shingle on the hole and nail it down. Cement the shingle. If you are going to use multiple shingles to level the area, the other shingles must not be cemented. Just hammer it down with nails. Tack down the larger replacement shingle on the area and put roofing cement on its edges for the seal. If there are split shingles on your flat roof, then you need to do a different method. First, slash the shingle into two. Open the slashed area and put roofing cement on it. Use roofing nails to tack down the sides of the shingle. Add a replacement shingle using a similar method as described on the repairing of fractured areas. Roof repair for your flat roof should now be done. You are now protected from water leaks in the meanwhile. Check your roof regularly to maintain it and prevent anymore leaks.
1. How long has your company been in business?When choosing a roofing contractor you need to know if they have the experience you need to do the roofing job. A contractor with fewer years in the business are still in the process of earning trust with their customers. Choosing a company that has been around for 15 years compared to 5 years could be a safer choice.2. Is this company legally licensed?It is illegal to perform work without being a licensed contractor in most states. Make sure to check that they are legally licensed and are a legitimate company registered in the state you reside in as an official business. Having legal problems is not something you want to deal with, it could seize the work being done on the roof and your search for another contractor begins.3. Do they have insurance?A company that doesn't have workers compensation and general liability insurance could prove to cost you more money. Don't trust contractors that go without workers compensation, if someone is injured on your roof the money could come out of your pocket. Not having general liability insurance is also not the best choice, without it you could have to pay for more damages than you need to.9. Can I trust they are working safely on my roof?Having untrained workers can lead to problems. Before you finalize the project be sure to ask about safety and of course look into reviews. It's illegal to not have the appropriate safety guidelines covered under OSHA's standards and regulations. Not having appropriate safety on your roof could cause more trouble than that low bid is worth.10. Is there any way to lower the price?If you found a contractor with the experience you need for the job but the price is not within your budget let the contractor know and negotiate a more suitable number to work with. Some contractors will come at you with some low prices. An experienced contractor will be competitive with other experienced contractors. The projected cost should be comparable when receiving your estimate's. Most contractors will work with your budget. When the estimate is to low or too high, ask the contractor to go over the estimate with you. Keep an eye on those bids.

The year 2050 is a good time to look back on the major events in the United States since the turn of the century. There have been great hardships, but we have prevailed and achieved so much. Without question, our greatest challenges have been the unparalleled loss of life and the tremendous destruction caused by global climate change. Fortunately, what at times seemed like the inevitable obliteration of society has subsided to ongoing difficulties interspersed with moments of achievement. Given what could have been had we decided not to act, we have reason to celebrate.
Devastation from Climate Change
Over the last few decades, we have seen a five-foot rise in the sea level—significantly higher than many climatologists had predicted—causing devastating floods along our coastal cities. As many as 20 million residents have been forced to migrate inland. Atlantic coast cities from New York to Florida and those along the Gulf States were hit the worst. Twenty-two of our most heavily populated cities have suffered tremendous infrastructure damage. Rising sea levels and hurricane activities have erased more than a million acres of land, displaced over four million people in Florida alone, and forever changed our landscapes. Former great cities like New Orleans, Boston, and Miami are so damaged that full restoration is considered impractical. And New York City has been reduced in size by over 40,000 acres—land that was once some of the most valuable in the country. Manhattan's underground water, sewer, and electricity infrastructure are too flood-damaged to ever return to full operation and over 50 percent of the New York subway system has been abandoned. To date, the sum total of the dead or missing due to flooding, storm damage, and disease now stands at over six million and total property damage is estimated at over $20 trillion dollars.
Though scientists predicted much of the flooding due to rising sea levels, nobody anticipated the extent of disease outbreaks, nor the resulting death toll. Diseases once considered restricted to developing countries reached plague levels in the United States. Much of the East coast and the Southeast saw outbreaks of water-borne diseases such as typhoid fever, cholera, leptospirosis, dysentery, and hepatitis A. These swamped lands also hatched vector-borne diseases like malaria and dengue fever. Closely following the storms and flooding, disease-carrying insects covered the U.S. These included mosquitoes, ticks, lice, gnats, mites, bed bugs, and countless fly species. Other disease outbreaks included encephalitis, meningitis, staphylococcus, and flu epidemics, which reached epic levels. In the last three decades, over four million Americans have lost their lives from these new threats.
All of these challenges stem from what climatologists call the 50-year lag between cause and effect—our CO2 emissions from the turn of the century are determining today's weather. In fact, many of the worst and most dire predictions made by our predecessors will continue for another 50 years to come. We will have drought in the South and Southwest along with haboobs in Arizona for several more decades, at least. Things will gradually improve, but our weather will not be what it was in 2000 until sometime after the year 2100.
Energy was Key
It is fortunate, then, that we have started off on a path of improvement. Climatologists knew even before 1990 that humans were contributing to global climate change. Though the political debate took decades to settle, by 2020 it was coming to a close and government and businesses began to work together to slow human-caused climate change. Public deliberations became more proactive—discussing what kind of action was needed as opposed to whether action was needed at all.
Conversations focused on oil used for transportation and coal used for electricity production. We made headway by prioritizing the reduction of oil consumption. In fact, our most notable transformation this century has been the virtual elimination of oil and all oil-derived petroleum products, now expensive enough to qualify as a luxury. We have learned to get by with very little in the way of oil. To some, this absence of petroleum products still creates a sense of loss. Most people, however, are comforted by the fact that our planet can start the long process of healing from some of the damage caused by past over-consumption of oil.
Weaning ourselves from petroleum required a massive conversion to the use of renewable biofuels and extensive investments in synthetic plastics and other products historically made from oil. We essentially replaced an oil economy with a biofuel, hydrogen, fuel cell, and renewable energy economy. Fortunately, these investments were made almost entirely by the private sector, once it was clear that oil was unable to compete in these markets. In fact, some of the largest biofuel and synthetic plastic producers are now what were once oil companies. Another booming industry that has helped to sustain our economy is electric transportation, ranging from simple scooters and advanced cars to light rail systems, electromagnetic propulsion ships, high-speed rail, and subsonic hyperloop vacuum tube systems. Thanks to these investments, we get around quite well—not quite as easily as with oil-based air travel, but easily enough. And we're not hurting ourselves in the process.
Another notable achievement has been the dramatic reduction of coal used for electricity generation, a feat that required massive investments in renewable energy sources as well as the expansion of a nationwide electrical grid to carry and distribute this new power. Fortunately, these concurrent changes have essentially eliminated the need to produce electricity from fossil fuels or nuclear energy. Another of our greatest accomplishments is our home-based nationwide electrical storage and generation system, comprised of battery banks, electric cars, and rooftop solar panels in almost 30 percent of all homes. Thanks to this and smart grid technology, we back up the grid as a collective, and many of us are not only saving on electric bills, but even enjoying a monthly check from the local utility.
The oil, coal, and mining companies were forced to clean up over a century of pollution and waste with strict federal laws connecting products to resources. These companies were also subject to tremendous consumer pressure to fix the mistakes of the past. If they had any hope of staying in business, they knew that compliance with public will was necessary. As a result, the oil companies cleaned the oceans' floating plastic gyres, permanently capped over 30,000 deep-sea wells, decommissioned and decontaminated their refineries, and conducted extensive worldwide cleanup projects of oil spills on land and water. The coal industries did much the same with their open pit and underground mines, expending great sums of capital on heavy metals, acids, and other chemical cleanup efforts. The rest of the mining industry followed suit with their own cleanup of over 200,000 (of about 500,000) U.S. mines. Though terribly expensive undertakings, the public had reached a point of zero tolerance and doing nothing was not on the table for discussion.
The hard fight against big oil and big coal are largely behind us now, resulting in environmental improvements, climate stabilization, more breathable air, and healthy drinking water. Both the oil and coal industries did everything they could to delay the world's transition to environmentally friendly fuels and energy, but in the end, public policy changes signaled the end of their reign.
The Great Awakening
Most historians agree that the great awakening started after the 2008 recession, caused by government and Wall Street malfeasance. The notable collapse of the real estate bubble combined with extended high unemployment served as a wake-up call for many economists. It became especially clear then that our economic system was vulnerable to the greed of a few. This great recession set the tone for movements that followed.
The Great World Depression in the second decade ended any remaining doubt about the vulnerability of the U.S. economic and political systems. The collapsing dollar led to a short period of hyper-inflation followed by the burst of another housing bubble, soon joined by the highest unemployment rate in the country's history. Subsequently, a worldwide depression persisted throughout the 20s before we were able to dig our way out and see positive signs of recovery. Although our growth is no longer measured in terms of gross domestic product (GDP), we do not expect to see pre-depression levels of GDP again in this century.
Our economists failed to predict the calamity, just as they had not foreseen the 2008 recession. Though it took time, we came to realize that capitalism is only a tool, and that it can and should be transformed to meet the needs of society, not the other way around. The general public also began to understand that, beyond the health of the natural environment, all other considerations were secondary. With time, this awareness blossomed.
We also knew that lasting environmental improvements would depend on a stable economy, both nationally and globally. This first required reeling in the influence of Wall Street and the banks and returning to regulations limiting the kinds of business activities banks could be involved with. In the early 20s, Congress reinstated provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act, which had been overturned at the end of the twentieth century. The Glass-Steagall Act was part of the U.S. Banking Act of 1933, which restricted commercial bank securities activities and limited affiliations between commercial banks and securities firms. By reinstating key provisions of this act, we took away the banks' abilities to deal in commodities, stocks, mutual funds, hedge funds, derivatives, and other exotic investment schemes. Banks were once again forced to stick with savings and lending and they could not mix banking with riskier ventures, which had proven too prone to exploitation. Several other legislative actions then followed, increasing government control and furthering regulations on investment practices. Thanks to legislation during this second decade, the power of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was also increased, which provided much needed additional control on the activities of Wall Street, the banking industry, investment firms, and the like.
Also starting in the 20s, federal laws were enacted requiring all government, business, and corporate budgets to include environmental and societal costs, previously external to accounting sheets. This meant that, for example, a city's transportation and energy budget had to include pollution costs, human health costs, the costs of climate change impacts, and other social costs as part of the total projected budget. Once government entities and businesses started including these costs and incorporating them into the price of goods and services, it became evident that fossil fuels were too expensive to use. Along with a few changes to the criminal legal system—essentially making profit at the expense of the environment a federal crime—these fairly straightforward steps steered our capitalist economic system away from the past pattern of being the adversary of nature and natural systems. In effect, by 2040, nature was beginning to find a new ally in capitalism.
Today, ecosystems are considered irreplaceable. We've improved upon capitalism. We are smarter for the events of the last few decades. Out of the ashes of despair came a fresh perspective concerning the need to live in harmony with natural systems.
A Complement of Adjustments
These changes—a scaling back of capitalism, a renewed focus on the environment, and democratic responsiveness—did not occur together by chance. Very few of the cleanup efforts imposed on the oil and coal companies could have been accomplished had there not been major shifts in the way we legislate and in who we elect as leaders. In the fight against big coal and big oil, we initiated an improved, more equitable economic system and gained a more socially democratic political system.
Each change depended on the other: making changes to our economic system would not have been possible without major changes to our political system, along with several new laws enacted to support these changes. In the early part of the twentieth century, our political system was rife with corrupt elected officials and appointees willing to sell their allegiance to the highest bidder. As a consequence, our federal, state, and city laws and regulations were heavily biased toward the interests of those who wielded the power of wealth. Our solution to this kind of corruption-destruction cycle was the enactment of strict federal laws to discourage public exploitation.
We addressed environmentally destructive practices in the same manner. In essence, the federal laws enacted in the late 20s carry the potential of lifetime imprisonment for those found guilty of public corruption or environmentally destructive behavior, both of which are considered to be severe crimes against society. As an example, an oil or coal company executive found guilty of externalizing the pollution and health costs associated with the production and transportation of their products would face lifetime imprisonment. The same holds true for public officials found to be selling their allegiance to special interest groups at the expense of the general public. In the 30s, we incarcerated droves of fossil fuel executives, federal judges, federal legislators, two Supreme Court justices, and a host of others. The majority of states quickly followed suit and state governors, justices, and legislators soon joined the ranks of those behind bars.
This stick-without-a-carrot approach to corruption and greed had one highly beneficial and largely unexpected consequence. The fear of indefinite incarceration became so great that those with destructive tendencies toward society or the environment lost their appetite for public service and they were supplanted with individuals who carried a deep social conscious. Consequently, by the late 30s, highly equitable social programs were being realized and many of the inequities of the past corrected. Our social security program, for example, is now fully viable to the year 2150 because of the social security wage cap elimination bill passed in the mid-20s.
Another ally against government corruption came from campaign finance reform legislation signed into law in the early 20s. This law significantly limited the size of campaign contributions and the total amount any candidate could spend on a given election, based on the salary of the office in question. Campaign budgets were greatly reduced because they were limited to just 20 times the annual salary of the elected position and individual contributions were restricted. Further, laws limiting election campaigning periods to just two months not only reduced election costs, but also increased voters' interest in elections and voting participation as well.
Another campaign finance reform law overturned the previous Citizens United Supreme Court ruling by prohibiting campaign contributions to any political candidate or ballot measure from anyone other than a living, individual U.S. citizen. From that point on, unions, corporations, think tanks, action committees, or other groups were denied the ability to donate to political candidates and advertisement communications. In short, candidates could not be sponsored by any of these groups. As states joined with similar legislation, laws in favor of the majority—in favor of those who put officials in office—became the norm rather than the exception. We countered campaign finance malfeasances with strict laws against such activities. As a result, election campaigns became primarily grass roots and were run on volunteerism efforts as opposed to the use of commercials and other forms of advertising.
With Sacrifices Came Benefits
Today, most of us live and act quite differently than our predecessors at the turn of the century. The last few decades have seen many losses, some pioneering new inventions, changing norms, and new ways of doing things. Our economy has benefited from new technologies, and those wise enough to invest in green businesses have been rewarded many times over. More importantly, the last few decades have brought about new ways of thinking, which helped us abandon the unsustainable practices that almost led to our demise. We are much less wasteful now. War mongering and the control of those countries with desired resources are no longer considered viable alternatives to progressive adaptation. We have made the best of what we have, and no longer expect the earth and the earth's resources to bend to our needs.
In 2050, the world we may have at one time wanted is likely not the one that we see. We live with much less. But this is not a negative thing. In fact, experience is proving that it will create better circumstances in the future, largely because of the abandonment of fossil fuels consumption. Air pollution is now a thing of the past, and in addition to easier breathing for us, this has helped the regeneration of countless ecosystems and natural environments, including natural fish habitats. Our water systems and our oceans are gradually and steadily healing from the impacts of our past fossil fuel use. Our smog is gone and our drinking water is significantly less polluted. We can even drink directly from many of our rivers and streams.
The depletion of the Ogallala aquifer in the Midwest has forced us to pipe water from the Great Lakes to the farm belt states. Fortunately, we've realized that water, not oil, is the resource we need. The Keystone XL oil pipeline project, once planned for the region, was supplanted by a water pipeline project. Drinking and irrigation water was then, and is now, the key to our survival. Storms across the country have forced millions of people to move to safer areas and many of the people in the Southwest, Southeast, and Midwest have moved to more temperate areas with sufficient drinking water. Our population centers have shifted, altered, re-distributed, and the majority of U.S. citizens are now living in urban areas next to mass transportation systems in locations with sufficient crop growth and plentiful water sources.
Other resources like lumber, rare and exotic metals, topsoil, large fish species, many of our food crops, and non-local meats are in short supply. It is clear that several of the non-renewable resources we once took for granted are now gone, and that our children are already accustomed to living without them. We now tend to gather our food locally and that means less variety and an emphasis on need rather than want. Shipping food long distances, even with the switch to renewables, is still too costly, so we make do with less colorful diets. Our food is generally fresher and healthier than in the past because it is grown close to where we live. Laws preventing environmental damage have also cleaned up our food supply. We no longer ingest pesticides, steroids, antibiotics, or herbicides as part of our daily diet.
Those of us living in urban centers are getting more exercise, walking and biking, and our mass transportation is essentially pollution free. As a result, obesity and many forms of cancer have been greatly reduced. Life expectancies have increased due to the significant drop in air and water pollution as well as a higher consumption of organically produced foods. Communities have become closer-knit due to shared needs and cooperative alliances. The national happiness index has spiked.
These days in the U.S., our primary industry and our primary exports are green products, technologies, and services. As an example, the U.S. leads the world in liquid hydrogen export as well as in synthetic plastics made from renewable resources like algae and non-edible crops. The U.S. also leads the world in 3-D technology development and 3-D component manufacturing. We have a sustained unemployment of less than 3 percent nationally, thanks to a thriving green industry and shorter workweeks. A more equitable social democracy has allowed each of us to take better care of one another, our sick, our elderly, and those with fewer resources. We once again place trust in our elected officials. For the most part, our natural systems are prospering, and the migration to urban centers has made room for new natural ecologies in many of the abandoned rural areas.
We no longer have the need to argue over the reality of climate change, nor the need to deliberate about continuing or not continuing to use fossil fuels. The consensus is behind sustaining an economic system that supports life and our environment, rather than the other way around. Social programs for the masses are considered mandatory. A hybrid socio-political economy of social democracy and capitalism now supports human life and allows affluence for those who either benefit society or the environment, but not those who harm either. Prosperity is measured by a person's health, his spiritual well-being and overall happiness. These are the things we strive for. Material wealth is far less sought after or attained. We ended our dependence on the things that were once harming us.
Despite living more modestly, we are far better off. Life is good in 2050.

By Ron Wisner
In the spirit of a true Corinthian event for ocean sailors, the Marion Bermuda Race is the only race that has a celestial navigation class. If you have ever thought about one challenge that you have not engaged as a sailor, one skill above all others that makes you a real salt, you know in your heart what it is. Celestial navigation is a skill that gets to the very meaning of the term "sailor". It is like knowing how to drive a stick shift.
Mastering celestial navigation is not merely an antiquated backup to your electronics. The knowledge of history, the awareness of the heavens, the simple recognition of the planets as the brightest most prominent "stars" are all part of a greater heritage that comes with the ability to navigate by the celestial sphere. As sailors we owe it to ourselves - and to those who handed this skill down to us - to learn and pay it forward to the next generation of sailors. After all, isn't it our responsibility as sailors to pass on our experience?...to hand down our traditional skills? Are we not are sailors? If you are one who has this itch, read on to learn more about why, how and where to scratch it. Imagine making that turn into the coral channel off St. David's Head, triumphant in the knowledge that you crossed over 600 miles of open ocean with just your sextant and a compass to guide you.
During the Safety at Sea seminar in the spring of 2013, part of the session included a group-think in which moderator challenged the audience, in the face of various scenarios and problems the captain and crew could face offshore, to come up with the best course of action under a particular circumstance. Among the emergencies was a flooded cabin after a knockdown which drowned the batteries and engine, a lightning strike, a dismasting and so forth. In each of these very real possibilities the likelihood all of your navigation electronics emerging intact is doubtful. The response from the audience was sound and sage. Paramount priorities are crew safety and saving the vessel...as they should be. Triage dictates you stop the bleeding. If the boat has a leak, that comes first! Once the boat is stabilized, knowing where you are and how to get to safe harbor is generally the next problem. One such exchange went something like this:
Moderator: "...and you need to know where you are! What do you do?"
Audience: "Well, of course we carry extra hand-held gps units!"
Moderator: "Yes, but when you were knocked everything got wet...including your hand-held and all those little AA batteries!"
Audience: "My handheld is waterproof!"
Moderator: "Those little batteries aren't...and will they last long enough to get you home?"
Later on in her presentation Gail Greenwald asked, "Why, under the circumstances presented earlier, hadn't anyone suggested pulling out the sextant?" Roy and Gail Greenwald have entered Cordelia, their Valiant 42, in three M-B Races winning the Celestial Class and finishing second overall in 2003. Gail is the Navigator aboard Cordelia. You may have read her story in the 2013 M-B Race Book. And she was right, of course. Race rules do not require, but strongly suggest a sextant be on board for the race. I would not dream of going offshore without my sextant and the current nautical almanac.
Only a decade ago, coastal navigation was dominated by Loran. Offshore, one had to use a sextant. Even the 747 jumbo jets were designed with a sextant port to allow a navigator to take sun and star sights when making long trans-oceanic crossings. But today every device and vehicle comes with a built-in GPS so why worry about celestial navigation? You already know where I'm going with this. The well prepared skipper plans for every eventuality and provides for redundant systems wherever possible. A well found boat carries a life raft, flares, radios, spare sails, lines, anchors, spare parts, tools, and since the mid 1990s, GPS. Loran had an accuracy of roughly .25 nautical miles which can be problematic in tricky channels. Offshore, Loran-C had a range of between 400 and 1400 miles but was subject to interference and weather. Many private yachts did not carry Loran in those days so those who ventured offshore had to know how to use a sextant. Merchant ships, naval vessels, and ocean-crossing aircraft had a celestial navigator aboard. Even though aircraft often had inertial guidance systems these are just elaborate dead-reckoning devices which still must be updated with periodic fixes. Well, a sextant should most certainly be on that list of gear that constitutes a well found boat. As the seminar "what ifs" above suggest, anything can happen, everything can get wet, lightning can strike so, the more redundancy the better. The environment offshore is unforgiving and we are left to our own devices in an emergency.
Navigation is perhaps the most important skill we have on the water. And who does not believe in their soul that they have not truly joined their sailing brethren of the previous two thousand years until they have sailed by the sun and stars? A "star to steer by" is not just a line from a poem but an iconic and intrinsic part of the meaning of sailing. It may be a romantic notion but more and more, today's sailors are failing to be smitten. How to find oneself on a featureless sea is a question whose answer took those two thousand years to develop. Lest we forget, this answer has been handed to us in the last generation - intact, elegant, and codified with tables for stars, navigational planets, the sun, and the moon. It's all there like a giant celestial clock...no batteries required.
If I have succeeded in convincing you that celestial navigation is a skill worth learning, then let me tell you that the Marion to Bermuda race is probably the best opportunity for you to learn it and to put it into practice. The M-B Race fleet finds fellow cruisers in boats of all different sizes and weights. I might venture to say that the race is dominated by heavier cruising boats. It also tends to be a family event. For me however, the beauty of this race is the spirit of the sailors and the desire on the part of participants and race officials to see that every boat and crew do well and have a good time. There are mentors to help you get your boat ready. There are check lists to help you organize your gear. I've already mentioned the safety at sea seminar. In fact, the whole race entry process is designed to help you be prepared
Significantly, for first time celestial navigators, we have mentors just for you. They are prepared to answer your questions and help you learn so you will be ready by race day. Bermuda, a 4-5 day sail away, is perfect for those making their first trip offshore and for those using celestial navigation for the first time. If you choose to enter the race in the Celestial Class, you simply turn your GPS off. And, just as you are on your honor to disengage your propeller when you charge your batteries, your GPS is still there if you get into trouble. As an added safety precaution, the rules state that within fifty miles of your approach to Bermuda, you may use your GPS to avoid Northeast Breakers and Kitchen Shoals. The rules also give a favorable scoring bonus to celestial boats. The Marion to Bermuda race has a history of celestially navigated boats who have won their class. Yours could be the next one!
I hope this encourages you to stretch your personal boundaries and learn more about celestial navigation.
The Three Stages of Learning Celestial
To my mind there is a simple progression in learning celestial navigation, which essentially follows its development in history, and follows the steps I myself took in learning. Let's go through some of those steps.
Simple Celestial: The Noon Sight
The simplest of all methods is the noon sight. All you need is your sextant and the almanac so you can correct for your declination that day, and you can get your latitude within a mile or so by measuring the sun's zenith at local noon. Declination is the latitude of the sun as it moves north and south during the year with the change of seasons. Until the middle of the 18th century, sailors were limited to finding their precise latitude. Longitude was strictly dead-reckoning. If getting your latitude is all you ever learn, you will still have the same pre-chronometer ability of the 18th century sailors of running a line of latitude until you hit your target.
Running a line of Latitude
In the days before accurate longitude, it was common practice to sail to a known line of latitude and then follow it to the desired landfall. This chart shows the approach to Bermuda and the latitude of danger south of, say, 32° 35' North, beyond which might not be approached at night or in bad weather. Once visibility was restored, the captain would line the ship up with the latitude for St. David's entrance, being sure to be well east of the reefs.
Longitude at Noon
The next skill does require a clock, which was why in 1714 the English Parliament's Board of Longitude offered a huge prize to come up with one that would work at sea. To some the clock would be the moons of Jupiter, which actually does work. The problem is seeing them with precision on a moving deck. There were other humorous suggestions, but the mechanical clock was the answer and with it and the same nautical almanac, you can figure out your longitude by comparing your local noon to Greenwich time.
There are various descriptions of how to do this, including graphing on a piece of paper, but the method I prefer is the following, and it works well. To get the exact time of noon, start taking time-sights about fifteen minutes or so before expected noon. Write down the exact time of each sight and the reading on the sextant. When the sun reaches its zenith, note your highest reading on the sextant. That's for your latitude, described above. The sun will seem to hang there for a minute or so.
After the sun starts its way back down, simply re-set your sextant to the same angle of one or more of your sights before noon. Keep checking until the sun has fallen back to that same pre-set angle on the sextant and note the exact time. Now pick any pair of your pre-zenith and post-zenith times of the same sextant angle and add them together and divide by two, and that will give you the time of your local noon. The time you come up with can then be translated directly into degrees and minutes of longitude from simple tables in the almanac.
Again, just arithmetic. So once a day at noon, you can get your position within a few miles, both longitude and latitude by measuring the sun's zenith and by noting the exact time it occurs. There are no reduction tables. The noon sight has guided many a sailor for centuries across many a league at sea and will get you where you want to go, including Bermuda. Even if you are off by half a dozen miles in your longitude calculation (the most likely error) remember that the horizon is twelve miles away. Anything less than twelve miles means you are within visual range. On an ocean crossing of hundreds or thousands of miles a few miles off is in most cases an acceptable margin of error.
Lines of Position
Suppose you haven't seen the sun for several days and your dead reckoning shows you less than a day's sail from land. You can't wait for noon the next day. But fortuitously, late that afternoon the sun appears briefly and you get a sight. Now what do you do with it?
From a single sight you get two vital pieces of information: the sextant angle of the horizon to the body (the sun, in this case), and the time. Miraculously, with just those two pieces of information, you can go back to your Nautical Almanac and some reduction tables and derive a "line of position" that the boat must be on.
In 1837, the now famous Captain Thomas Sumner was sailing from the Carolinas to Scotland and made what was to prove a pivotal discovery. Just as in the scenario above, Sumner had not seen the sun for several days, but he knew he was near the coast of Wales. Since he didn't know his exact location, he did his calculations using several different assumed latitudes. What he discovered was that no matter what latitude he plugged in, every calculated solution put him on the same line, which he dubbed Line of Position. Coincidentally, that line of position ran right into a light off the coast. Sumner altered his course, following the line of position, and the light appeared out of the mist just as he surmised it would. The appearance of the light on the same line of position served to prove his theory
How do you get your line of position? The idea is simple. It's called the intercept method. I'm not going to go through the minutia of the process here and make it sound too complicated.
The basics are just this. You make an assumption of where you are from your dead reckoning, just as Sumner did. There is a set of tables which predicts what your sextant reading would be if you were on a whole number of latitude, based on the time of day you take your sight. For instance, if you are somewhere in Buzzard's bay, say, near Marion, you could assume you are on latitude 41 degrees north. Take an actual sight of your body (sun, moon, planet or star) and compare the difference between your sextant reading and the predicted reading of the whole number latitude you are near. The difference between the two, usually less than 60 minutes (remember, a minute equals a mile), is where your line of position lies. You are somewhere on that line. It is simple. The table will also tell you how to draw your line relative to the compass, depending on the time of day. For simplicity's sake, if your sight were in the morning and the sun were due east, (or a bearing of 90 degrees), your line of position would be at right angles to it, running north and south.
You can move your line of position in the direction the boat has been traveling using the parallel rule. Where it crosses your new lines of position as the day progresses is where you are. You can, and most navigators who are racing do perform such a line of position sight and reduction about five times a day, advancing the lines from earlier in the day so they cross with the new ones, each time getting a new fix.
At dawn and at dusk you can actually get two or three intersecting lines of position at once by using stars. Because the lines of position were developed at more or less the same time (within minutes of each other), you can get an exact fix just like the noon fix from the sun.
If you are lucky and the moon is up during the day, you can get exact fixes by getting lines of position from both sun and moon and seeing where they cross.
It is simple and satisfying, and you will never be bored and better still, you will always know where you are no matter what may befall your electronics.
LOPs and fix with sun and moon
This shows my sight from Planting Island in Marion in which I establish a fix using crossing LOPs from the sun and moon. My position is at the arrow; the fix shows me about a mile away, just east of Butler Point. This level of accuracy is considered pretty good, especially when using the moon.
Plotting sheets
Rather than plotting on charts, the work is actually done on a pad of plotting sheets. Of course it can be done either way but the plotting sheets keep your charts clean. The sheet shows my approach to Bermuda in 2013. The long dotted line is the rhumb line. The LOP for Formalhoute, my morning star the morning before we finished, is visible in the bottom right.
Plotting tools
Shown here are a couple of parallel rules, a compass and the all important pink eraser.
The Almanac and Tables
The tables referred to above come in the form of compact, easy to use reduction tables originally designed for aircraft navigators. The three most commonly used are called Publication Number 249, Volumes 1, 2 and 3. Volume 1, "The Selected Stars", targets the brightest stars in a nice arrangement to get crossing lines of position. Volumes 2 & 3 speak to high and low latitude (0°- 40° and 39° - 89°). Choose the one that applies to your part of the world. The tables are designed for rapid calculation in an aircraft at 400 knots. At 7 knots, you have all day. Those three volumes and the nautical almanac, and you have all you need. Replace the almanac once a year. Volume 1 is good for ten years and Volumes 2 & 3 are good forever ... or until you wear them out.
Thus, the form in which we have received modern celestial navigation has been simplified by innovations since the 19th century, beginning with Sumner's famous discovery on his way to Scotland, such that all you need now is simple arithmetic. Adding and subtracting. No trigonometry, no higher math at all. It's brilliant, it's beautiful, and you should learn it.
I submit that ours should not be the generation of sailors who lose this heritage which has been handed down to us, like forgetting how to read because we have books on tape.
Getting Started
The easiest way to start learning celestial navigation is to get a sextant and start doing noon latitudes by measuring the sun's zenith. From this exercise you will learn how to handle a sextant, and how to read the almanac.

FunStuff: Charlottesville events August 9 and beyond
Wet and wild
What kid doesn't beg to go to Massanutten Water Park? With its massive slides, surfing pool, outdoor wave pool, climbing structures, and adjoining arcade, It's like Onesty Pool on steroids. Unfortunately, the price tag can also seem like it's on steroids at $38 per person for a full day. So what's a budget conscious family to do? Get friendly with another family! The Park, located about an hour northwest of Charlottesville on Route 33 near Harrisonburg, offers group rates for those who plan in advance, and it doesn't have to be anyone's birthday to take advantage. For $190, a group of 10 can swim and splash for 4 hours and get $30 of arcade tickets– that's less than $20 bucks a person. And if you want to save even more bucks, pack a cooler for lunch, as the park allows reentry with a wristband. Reservations (540-437-3340) are required for group deals.
Year round, Massanutten Resort, various times, $19-$38
Complex characters
She was never a teen mom, but that didn't stop author Kristen Paige Madonia from exploring the subject in her first novel, Fingerprints of You. It's the story of a girl who, upon discovering she's carrying a child, sets out on a journey to find her own father, whom she's never known. There are few authors of young adult fiction as successful as Judy Blume, and Madonia has already won her over. "Her writing is luminous, her voice original, and the journey she takes us on, compelling," Blume writes. Madonia will read from her book at New Dominion Bookshop on the Downtown Mall. (And if you miss her there, she'll offer a free seminar titled "Write What You Don't Know" on Thursday, August 16 at 7pm at Writerhouse at 508 Dale Avenue.)

Gettin' kicks
You know fall's around the corner when the UVA soccer teams start playing, and this week, both the men and the women have pre-season matches worth watching. The women, ranked 6th in the NCAA, take on the Georgetown Bulldogs on August 12. And the powerhouse men, who last won the NCAA championship in 2009 but were knocked out in the first round of the tournament by Delaware last year, play St. John's two days later. Players to watch this year include returning senior Will Bates, pictured, a forward who was named to the All ACC team in 2011.
August 12 and 14, Klockner Stadium, 7pm, free
Gypsy funk
They've been described as "equal parts gypsy jazz, vaudeville, circus funhouse, and riverboat steam, rattled around in a boxcar for a couple thousand miles, served with sangria and sausages." That's from fellow Roanoke musician Charles Alan Reynolds III, but there's no doubt that Another Roadside Attraction puts on a unique show with costumed musicians playing instruments including the kazoo, ukelele, and washboard. You don't have to drive all the way to Roanoke to catch the act; they play in downtown Staunton on Saturday night at the Pompei Lounge, a swanky venue on the third floor of upscale Italian eatery Emilio's on Beverly Street. The "Carnival Theme Night" promises other surprises are in store.
August 11, Pompei Lounge, 10pm, free
Just peachy
Sweet, sticky, and delicious. Peaches are in season, and the picking's good. Chiles Peach Orchard out in Crozet has yellow and donut peaches ready to pluck (and white available for purchase). The orchard, located at 1351 Greenwood Road, is open seven days a week, but if you head out this Saturday morning, you can indulge in a peach-heavy pancake breakfast offered by the orchard. Yum!
August 11, Chiles Peach Orchard, 9-11am, $4-7 breakfast
Java n' tunes
Looking for a mellow vibe that's outside the bar scene and not so late? Singer/songwriter Christian Critzer takes over the Crozet Mudhouse on Saturday evening to perform what his bio describes as "acoustic jam/alternative/hiphop/soul fusion." Critzer's a multi-talented fellow, working as a Christmas Tree farm manager by day and making Grateful Dead bear costumes in his free time. Songs including "Better Days," and "Apogee" tell stories and encourage closed-eye grooving and close listening.
August 11, Crozet Mudhouse, 6-9pm, donations encouraged
Bodies of work
Fluidity of motion and graceful lines are the hallmark of a ballet dancer's body, and the work of photographer Kaya Berne captures these details up close. Her works are on display during the month of August at the Mudhouse on the Downtown Mall, offering closer look at the skin, muscles, and form of dancers. According to Berne, the images are "meant to pause the intensity in order to show the grace and strain of the human body as it moves throughout a dance."
Through Sept. 3, Mudhouse on the Downtown Mall, many hours, free
Doing the Waive
He's been compared to John Prine, and he does indeed cover Prine tunes, but Jim Waive doesn't need to ride anyone's coattails to stir emotion with his country crooning, as a review on thevelvetrut.com revealed: "The evening felt like a well-planted seed in good soil. It's free. They pass a bucket for your music tips. You eat meatloaf or corn beef and cabbage. Drink coffee or PBR's from a can. Smoke cigarettes. Play and sing country music and praise Jim Reeves and George Jones. Fly Away on eternal hymns. Order a Jack and coke. Eat spicy fries. Listen to John Prine songs. Marvel at Jim Waive songs." Waive performs solo at the most colorful West Main Street diner every Wednesday.
August 15, Blue Moon Diner, 8pm, free
This weekend's your last chance to view Emilio Sanchez: Cityscapes, an exhibit of the late Cuban-American artist who also graduated from UVA School of Architecture. Sanchez' works depict bright Caribbean scenes but also grittier urban settings, inspired by his experience living in New York City. The Exhibit is on view at the Rugby Road institution now known as the Fralin Museum of Art (formerly the University of Virginia Art Museum).
Through August 12, Fralin Museum of Art, free
Allard's ballads
Charlottesville's first lady of song may just be Terri Allard– after all, she's been playing locally and farther afield for years, winning critical acclaim. "Allard's mastered the art of the Americana ballad," writes Bill Craig in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, claiming that her "most potent weapon is her voice, a sultry combination of sweetness and grit." Hear that combination this weekend, as the Terri Allard Trio plays an afternoon show out at Jefferson Vineyards on Route 53 past Monticello. Sit back, sip, and listen– what a way to wind down summer.
August 12, Jefferson Vineyards, 2:30pm, free
This week's "FunStuff" was compiled by Courteney Stuart, and next week's "FunStuff" will be compiled by another newsroom staffer. To get your event considered, send a press release and photo to email@example.com.

Due to COVID-19 and the uncertainty over whether we can keep up with demand we have taken the decision to cease spooling until we can be sure of a steady period of production time. We don't want to take on work that we can't fulfil. Therefore, we are only able to sell the spools we have already made.
All existing orders will be processed as expected.
We will announce the re-introduction of this range in due course.

1) Know yourself, don't lie to yourself! Ask yourself if you're willing to spend a lot of time, money, and effort to raise the beautiful discus fish!
2) Set a budget, look for second hand tanks on craiglists and the bigger the better with the minimum size being 55 gallons. Stick to the 1 discus per 10 gallons rule if you want to keep it easy on yourself. They need to be in a group of at least 6 unless it's a breeding pair. If you are buying a used tank, be sure to completely sterilize it with bleach, rinse and clean, dose with pp (potassium permanganate), rinse and clean again, and filter with carbon to make sure that the tank is fresh and ready to go. Take no chance to introduce anything to discus.
3) Have a QT tank ready that's at least 30 gallon and make sure it is in a different room from the main tank. Also, make sure that you have completely different equipments from the QT tank and the main tank.
a. Always wash your hand thoroughly after working on different tanks. Pay very careful attention to your clothes and shoes and make sure you don't get it into close proximity of the main tank if there is a disease outbreak going on. I've seen many instances of wipe out when people break strict QT procedures.
b. If you are receiving domestic discus, QT them for about 6 weeks. During week 1 - 4, observe them carefully and treat as necessary. If you intend to put these new fishes in QT into the main tank; take one discus from the main tank and place it into the QT tank after the 4 weeks duration and observe the group closely. Treat as necessary and observe them for 2 more weeks. If everything is fine after this 6 weeks period; all may be moved into the main tank now.
c. De-worm the fish with praziquantel (tapeworms); medicated food with flubendazole or fenbendazole as a preventive (flubendazole can be used in water or mixed with food to eradicate tapeworms, flukes, nematodes/ fenbendazole can only be used with food); or lemavisole as treatment in water (nematodes). Flubendazole is more broad spectrum so I'd recommend it. Also, you can try getting medicated flake food with fenbendazole to feed your fishes as preventive measures.
d. If you're receiving wilds, it's good to de-worm even if they seem fine during QT.
(Note, this is very generic and there are some instances where you have to treat right away or not depending on the source of the fish. That's why it's very important to know where the discus come from and who is supplying it to you. Potassium Permanganate is a powerful oxidizer and must be used with extreme caution. Do not use it without properly consulting someone who has experience with them or at least doing research on them.)
4) Do research and more research. I can't stress this enough. Get a general idea of what to look for and what to not buy.
5) Do research and look around for reputable breeders with good stock or LFS that get fish from a good and reliable source. Go to reputable online sources and have them shipped. All reputable online sellers will be glad to answer your inquiries and will send you pictures of the stock that you are getting exactly. If they don't, walk away and go to another source.
6) Get yourself some medications to keep on hand. Please look at this thread:
7) Get a varied diet for your discus. Do research on seafood recipes and make your own. Get varied flake and pellets and freeze dried food.
Example of seafood recipe that I use:
1 lb raw tuna
1 lb raw sea salmon
10 shrimps
1 tbsp ground pellets
2 crushed vitamin pill (Centrum is fine)
2 bags of spinach boiled
2 crushed garlic clove
1/4 tsp paprika
1 tsp astaxathin
1 tsp pro growth
Keep it simple and just make sure that the food you make don't break up immediately upon touching water.
Some other food I that I feed.
Freeze dried food: blackworm and earthworms
Flake food: Ocean Nutrition, Angel Plus, special made flake from Inland Empire Discus, Cyclop-eeze
Pellet: Tetra Colorbits, NLS
Live: blackworm, white worm, red wrigglers
Frozen: bloodworm, brine shrimp
(Note! I think my discus eat better than me sometimes, lol.)
8) If it's your first time starting with discus, go with pre-adults around 4 inches plus. Juveniles require more care and attention because they require much more feeding. This would mean a lot of water changes.
9) Equipments and filtration, KISS! If you're starting out, sponge filtration and power filter is adequate. Keep them in bare bottom tank for easy cleaning. You may add a slight layer of sand if you wish but make sure it's white sand and come from a reliable source without any contaminants. If you don't mind peppering in pigeon based discus, then you can do whatever color background you want. However, if you do mind the peppering black spots on pigeon based discus, paint or spray paint the back (sides too if you want) with white or light blue or any lighter hue colors. The heater needs to be reliable and get more than one that's underrated for the tank. If one fails, then at least one is keeping it warm enough until you get a replacement.
10) Research, research, and more research.
I'll add more if I remember anything else and if anyone has anything to add; feel free.
