Families board Ryanair flight to Latvia instead of Spain
Stephen Pritchard and his son, together with Jo Housley and her three young children, believed they were en route to Almeria, in Spain, when they boarded a flight at East Midlands Airport first thing yesterday morning.
But after undergoing three checks at which the problem was not spotted, it was not until the rightful occupiers of the families' seats arrived that they discovered the plane was actually going to Riga, in Latvia.
By the time they realised they were on the wrong plane, the pilot on the correct flight to Almeria had sealed the doors and would not allow any more passengers to board.
The confusion is said to have arisen when two queues for the flights to Latvia and Almeria formed closely side by side at Gates Four and Five at East Midlands Airport.
The families were told that the next available flight to that part of Spain was not until much later that day, from Birmingham Airport at 5.55pm, to Murcia, 107 miles from Almeria on the Mediterranean coast.
Both sets – who did not know each other prior to the incident – spent £70 on a shared taxi from East Midlands Airport to Birmingham Airport, where they waited for 10 hours for the flight.
Stephen, who was taking his son to stay with his grandmother in Spain, told the Birmingham Mail: "I couldn't believe it. Our boarding passes were checked three times, at the gate and the concourse and on the plane, where we were even led to our seats.
"This was a massive security risk, I could have been a terrorist or anything. This comes at a time when they are supposed to be tightening security. It's unbelievable."

He also said that he had to spend £130 once in Spain on a taxi from Murcia to his final destination.
Ryanair responded by saying that it had ordered its ground handling agent at East Midlands Airport to investigate how the incident may have occurred. A spokesperson added: ""While it is the responsibility of each customer to ensure they board the correct aircraft, we have asked our handling agent at East Midlands to investigate this incident and ensure it does not recur.
"Ryanair sincerely apologises to the customers in question, who have been transferred onto the next available flight free of charge, provided with refreshment vouchers and advised to keep receipted expenses for reimbursement of additional transport costs."
In the past, other passengers have had less luck than Mr Pritchard and Ms Housley and have been airborne before realising they were not en route to the correct destination.
Earlier this month, a woman had to take a 300-mile taxi ride from Leeds to Edinburgh after she was instructed onto the wrong Jet2 plane at her aeroport of origin, Dalaman, in Turkey.
Last year, Lamenda Kingdon boarded a flight that she believed was going to Granada, in Spain. It was only two hours into the flight that she realised she was actually going to Grenada, in the Caribbean. She disembarked at the scheduled stop in St Lucia and took a return flight to London Gatwick.
In another incident, a couple was flown to San Jose in California, instead of San Jose in Mexico, after a slip-up on the connecting leg of a holiday costing £3,100, sold by Thomas Cook in Harrogate.

After 57 minutes, a knock came from the jury deliberation room.
They had reached a verdict.
John Kalisz, wearing a blue suit and striped tie, remained slouched in his chair. As the defendant stared at a half-empty cup of water, a reporter approached him at the defense table and asked if he was sorry for what he had done.
Kalisz turned and looked up. Without expression or words, he nodded yes.
Minutes later, 12 jurors unanimously recommended that he be executed for murdering two Hernando County women.
On Jan. 14, 2010, Kalisz killed his sister, Kathryn "Kitty" Donovan, and her office manager, Deborah Tillotson, in Donovan's home on Wilhelm Road, west of Brooksville. He also shot his niece, Manessa Donovan, and Amy Green, an employee at Kitty Donovan's home-based business.
Deep sighs blended with quiet sobs as the verdict was read Thursday afternoon in the Hernando Circuit Court. Some people nodded and others smiled. Members of Tillotson's family, sitting in the second row, squeezed each other's hands. The victim's older daughter, Nicole DiConsiglio, struggled not to cry.
Kalisz didn't speak or even react while he listened to the announcement. His sisters, Becky Berarducci and Linda Pleva, entered the courtroom just moments later. Pleva held Kalisz's close friend, Tammy Debaise, as they wept. All three women testified on his behalf.
Kalisz's defense team, for a final time, will ask Judge Daniel Merritt Sr. to spare their client's life in a hearing next month. The sentencing is scheduled for March 6.
Some have argued that seeking the death penalty in this case was pointless because, due to his poor health, Kalisz may die in prison anyway.
"The sooner he dies, the better," said prosecutor Pete Magrino after the proceedings. "And I mean that."
The 57-year-old former roofer was already serving life in prison for the murder of Dixie County sheriff's Capt. Chad Reed, who was shot trying to arrest him that day two years ago in Cross City.
Reed's wife, Holly, had agreed to the deal because she wanted to spare her two young sons from a painful trial and years of appeals.
As the Hernando verdict approached Thursday afternoon, people asked her if the day had been especially hard.
"Today was nothing compared with what we live with every day," she said. "It's a constant reminder when you look at your children." The jury's decision, she added, was just.
Though the death penalty recommendation wasn't a surprise, it's unanimity is rare. Magrino has prosecuted capital trials for more than 20 years. This was the first of his cases in which no juror opposed execution. Many more infamous killers, including John Couey and Danny Rolling, did not receive unanimous recommendations.
Earlier in the day, Public Defender Devon Sharkey pleaded with jurors not to suggest the death penalty.
"A vote for mercy is always a legal vote," Sharkey said. "Don't measure him by the horrible things that happened one day in January 2010."
The lawyer presented a host of reasons that jurors should recommend a life sentence for Kalisz: his difficult childhood; his inability to handle emotional problems; his recovery from alcoholism; his years spent helping other addicts; his lack of support from family; his troubled mental state; his mobile home burning down days before the killings; and the help he could potentially offer fellow inmates.
Sharkey had also called a forensic psychologist, Dr. Peter Bursten, to help explain how those problems led to Kalisz's murderous rampage.
In Magrino's cross-examination, he began with three basic questions.
Is Kalisz competent?
Yes, the doctor said.
And he wasn't insane at the time of the murders?
Definitely correct.
Could he tell right from wrong?
"In my opinion," Bursten said, "absolutely."
When the day ended, Merritt adjourned the courtroom and spectators began to trickle into the hallway. Kalisz stood up moments later. He picked up his cup, finished the water, then shuffled out.

Indispensible Traits of Successful Amenity Management in NYC
Successful implementation of amenity services are what can differentiate between a business that thrives and one that gets lost in the shuffle. Amenity Management in NYC is a required consideration for anyone who wants to prosper and stand out among the competition. Residential lifestyle properties, spas, hotels and more are required in the current competitive business climate to offer their clients the best in luxury and relaxation opportunities.
In order to retain members and assure client satisfaction and referrals, it is necessary to find a company that is capable of providing the advice and information you need from conceptualization through day to day operations.
A competent amenity management company is one that is capable of evaluating a project from the start. It needs to be able to use demographics to ensure the feasibility of a project before any groundbreaking begins. They should have strong affiliations with the best architectural firms and stay involved in the process to ensure the layout and interior design match the needs of the client.
The relationship continues even after the doors are open. An experienced amenity company will provide direction for developing effective programs. Their employees must be experienced in creating programs for spas and fitness programs and provide a business consulting, hospitality management and more. They should also offer training and education for the employees who will be running the facilities so all work is kept to the same high standard.
A fully skilled amenity management company will provide information and advice to more than just hotels and spa. They can help to establish luxurious services in residential communities, colleges and universities. They can offer advice on the style and design of medical and therapeutic spas and offer Aquatic Consulting for the best design and operation of swimming pools and aquatic facilities.
The employees of these companies are dedicated professionals who receive ongoing training in their fields. They keep abreast of changing products, new services and cultural preferences. The top professionals in the field are able to read the market changes before they even occur and set themselves apart as the trend setters in the real estate and hospitality amenity field.

'The best rule for writing – as well as for speaking – is to use always the simplest words that will accurately convey your thought.' – David Lambuth, The Golden Book of Writing
Video transcript follows below:
O WILD West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being—
Thou from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,
Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes!—O thou
Who chariotest to their dark wintry blah blah blah
Many of us first encounter the idea of fine writing in an English class at school. Part of that involves close reading of classics written in high style and full of archaic language. That's all great, but when we start writing our own stuff, we can feel a pressure to affect some grandiose style we've come to associate with good writing. Now, I actually quite like Shelley, but I'd no more write like him than I'd talk like him in the pub.
The best rule for writing I ever heard is 'never write a sentence in which you couldn't comfortably use the word sh*t.' In other words, relax – writing's hard enough without trying to affect a register that's alien to you. The secret to a good prose style isn't to erect some grand monument full of ornament and bombast; rather, it's to use the simplest language that accurately conveys your meaning.
And that word 'accurate' is crucial. Writing in the simplest language that accurately conveys your meaning needn't restrict you to a limited vocabulary. It's simple to say your hero hiked through a forest, but there are so many different types of forest that it's hard for me to know what sort of forest you mean, and thus what it would be like for your hero to hike through it. If you tell me your hero hiked through a large plantation of Sitka spruces then I can imagine the branches scratching her arms as she pushes through the tight-packed trees.
So don't spoil it by having her pause to hearken the ostentatious aria of an ethereal bird.
As Elmore Leonard said, 'if it sounds like writing, rewrite it.'

I took a liking to Jamie Oliver from his very first "The Naked Chef" show. Endlessly upbeat, Oliver keeps the food front and center and never lets you forget that great cooking is a) not magic, and b) a source of great fun and satisfaction.
Over the years, he, and his cooking, have matured greatly. Where once, seemingly all of his recipes started with "you take a pound of bacon", he's now leading the effort to bring truly healthy, delicious foods to those who need it most, school-age kids.
Last weekend, I prepared dinner for 4 women, members of "gourmet club". They wanted seafood as their entrée, scallops specifically. And all are diabetic. This gem of Oliver's fit the bill perfectly.
Serves 4
4 large ripe plum tomatoes, quartered
salt and pepper
1 pinched dried oregano
extra virgin olive oil
8 slices proscuitto
1 small garlic clove, sliced very thin
1 small dried red chili pepper, crumbled*
4 anchovies, chopped small
1, 14oz can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
12 large sea scallops, cleaned, trimmed, tied off if you prefer
1 small bunch arugula, or peppery greens
2T fresh lemon juice
5T olive oil
Preheat the oven to 450F. Season the tomatoes, sprinkle with oregano. Drizzle with olive oil and roast, skin side down, for about 10-15 minutes. Place the proscuitto slices beside the tomatoes, continue to roast for another 10 minutes until the tomatoes are juicy and the proscuitto is crisp. Crumble the proscuitto and set aside.
In a fry pan over medium heat, add the garlic, chili pepper, anchovies and a good "glug" of olive oil, then cook for about one minute, stirring and breaking up the anchovies. Add the beans, cook for a few minutes, then add a wineglass of water to the pan. Bring to a boil, then lightly mash the beans to a coarse paste. Loosen this with a bit more water if needed. Finish off with a bit of olive oil and salt and pepper.
Pat dry and season the scallops, then sear in a hot skillet with a bit of olive oil for 2 minutes without touching. You're looking for a sweetly caramelized skin. Turn, repeat. Remove to a boil, dress lightly with the lemon juice and olive oil. Season to taste.
To plate, start with a "layer" of smashed bean puree, scatter over the tomatoes, proscuitto and scallops then finish with a sprinkling of greens.
* take care adding too much of this…it's very easy for the chilies to overpower the flavor of the beans.

"I thought the corporate world was going to be the answer, and what I found out was yeah the corporation didn't control me as much as Uncle Sam did when I was in uniform. But the reality was that the rules changed all the time and they never changed in my favor in the corporate world. In the military, at least you knew what to expect with Uncle Sam. So I started to do some stuff on the side, because I wanted to have more control over our future. A buddy of mine from church mentioned one Sunday that his daughters and he had a gum ball business, and they were doing things together as a family and making money. And so initially I started out just selling gum balls."

26 Sep "________'s Famous ________ Dinner" – Fill In The Blanks & Win!
Today is "Family Day – A Day To Eat Dinner With Your Children." The holiday was launched in 2001 by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University to inform parents that the engagement fostered during frequent family dinners is an effective tool to help keep America's kids substance free (Read more about this holiday here).
PersonalizationMall.com loves and supports the idea of making time to sit down and have a nice family dinner. Even though it may seem hard to find the time in everyone's busy schedules to fit in a sit-down family meal, it's important to make the time because the dinner table is one of the most common places that childhood memories are formed!
Whether it was the signature dish your mother prepared, the prayer that your father lead the family in reciting, or even the comforting feeling you got when everyone plopped down in their seat (the same seats everyone sat in week after week even though they wern't assigned) … it's those memories that made your house a home.
A Personal Touch thinks it's important to keep those memory-making traditions alive, that's why we'd like to announce our Fill-In-The-Blank Contest: "_________'s Famous ________ Dinner."
We want to hear all about the delicious dish that was the foundation of your special family dinners when you were growing up. We want to know who was the mastermind behind the meal (i.e. Grandma, Mom, Uncle Joe, etc.), the name of their "famous" dish, and the recipe for the magical meal that had everyone running to the table!
The winner will win their very own Your Special Dish© Personalized Serving Bowl from PersonalizationMall.com!
To enter the contest, please send an email with the subject line "Family Dinner Contest" to email@example.com with the following information:
– Your first and last name
– The name of the chef who created the dish
– The name of their special dish
– The recipe for the memorable meal
All submissions must be sent in before midnight October 4th, 2011 and the winner, who will be determined by A Personal Touch staff, will be announced here October 5th, 2011.
We can't wait to hear all about the dish that you all shared while making those special memories!
Good luck to everyone and have fun at your family dinner tonight!

Tied by: Stanley Williams
Originated by: Carrie G. Stevens
Green Drake Streamer Fly Pattern
Hook: Mustad 3907 B #2
Thread: White 8/0
Tag: Silver flat metal tinsel
Body: Orange silk floss
Rib: Silver flat metal tinsel
Belly: White goat hair
Throat: White goose hackle fiber
Under-wing: 4-6 peacock herls
Wing: 2 black hackles flanked by shorter green hackle
Shoulder: Gadwall flank feather
Eye: Jungle cock nail
Head: Black w/ orange band
Notes: I was surprised to find this elegant streamer in my mailbox earlier this week. It was an unexpected gift from Maine fly tyer Stanley Williams along with another Stevens pattern. While I've been tying the classics patterns of Carrie Stevens for years, I've never really made the attempt to recreate them as such, aside from tying a few in hand for the Carrie's Challenge. Stanley has an eye for the details, and has taken extra step of using authentic materials rather than the convenience of modern ones.
Stanley's Green Drake is built on a vintage Mustad 3907 B #2, a hook that while not an antique Alcock 1810, it is almost indistinguishable from the hooks Carrie Stevens tied on. It has an ideal wire thickness, 8xl length, bronze finish and a classic sproat bend. If you have ever tried tying with metal tinsel, you will know the frustration that can occur from an overplayed length. I've broken off many metal tinsels after spending time smoothing down a silk floss body, and I commend the few tyers who use it regularly on their streamers.
Like Carrie Stevens, Stan likes to take advantage of locally available materials. The throat on this streamer is tied using feather fibers from a wild goose that was harvested in Maine. The fly is rounded out with a goat hair belly, a material that isn't common to see in 2016, but was a common element in flies tied by Carrie Stevens.
The fly came framed and will find a space on my fly tying room wall along side some other notable streamers.
Thanks Stan.
You can see more of Stanley's work on his Facebook page Stan's Streamers.

Inspired by Carnegie Hall's program, pregnant and new mothers in Lexington-Bell Community Center's Mom's First program work side-by-side with Cleveland Orchestra musicians and music therapists to create, sing and share a personal lullaby for their babies. The Cleveland Orchestra's Lullaby Project, in coordination with other organizations across Cuyahoga County who are fighting to lower the infant mortality rate, raises awareness for this important issue, provides support for moms at risk, and offers an outlet for mothers to use their voice to make an impact in the lives of their families. The program launched in October 2019 with lullaby writing sessions occurring throughout the year.
Neighborhood Partners is the evolution of The Cleveland Orchestra's Neighborhood Residency program, which took place in four Cleveland neighborhoods including Gordon Square (2013), Lakewood (2014), Slavic Village (2015) and Hough (2016). We are returning to each neighborhood to collaboratively create long-term, sustainable programs that address the unique needs of each neighborhood. Check out the program videos below to learn more!
Launched in September 2018, the Orchestra's Crescendo program is making a long-term investment in Cleveland students in Slavic Village and Hough. Crescendo provides hands-on instrument instruction, fostering students' ability to study and perform at the highest level. Students are mentored by Cleveland Orchestra musicians throughout the year. Crescendo takes place during the school year at Mound STEM Elementary School (Kodaly & Suzuki violin instruction) and Wade Park Elementary School (trumpet & trombone instruction).
The Cleveland Orchestra's Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert, now in its 40th year, honors through music the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This dynamic musical program is performed by The Cleveland Orchestra in historic Severance Hall and also includes outstanding soloists and the MLK Celebration Chorus comprised of choristers from a range of local churches as well as Cleveland Orchestra Chorus and Blossom Festival Chorus members. The annual MLK Community Service Awards, which recognize outstanding civic contributions of individuals, organizations, and groups, are presented at the top of the concert. Both the concert and the community service awards are presented in collaboration with the City of Cleveland. The MLK Celebration Concert will take place on Sunday, January 12, 2020 at 7:00 PM at Severance Hall. Ticket information will be released in November 2019.
The Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Chorus is a volunteer community chorus assembled each year since 1989 to sing as part of The Cleveland Orchestra's annual MLK Celebration Concert. Bringing together singers from across Northeast Ohio, the Chorus lifts its collective voices in affirmation of Dr. King's vision of justice, peace, and human harmony. First assembled by Alvin Parris, the Chorus has been prepared and assembled by William Henry Caldwell for the past decade.
Thank you for your interest in the MLK Chorus! Registration for the 2020 MLK Chorus is now closed.

The MLK Community Open House invites Clevelanders to Severance Hall on Martin Luther King. Jr. Day for a free day of music and community engagement. The day includes annual performances by The Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and Cleveland Orchestra Youth Chorus. Beginning in 2020 we are collaborating with Case Western Reserve University to present, "400: An Afrikan Epic." This performance is a journey through music that chronologically represents the Afrikan experience, past, present and future, composed and presented by Dr. Mark Lomax II. It will be followed by a panel discussion led by Joy Bostic, Interim VP, Office of Inclusion, Diversity and Equal Opportunity at CWRU. Throughout the day, fun activities include the "MLK I Have A Dream Wall," MLK themed coloring pages, puzzles and activity sheets, the Cuyahoga County Public Library Book Display, and Line Dancing in the Bogomolny-Kozerefski Grand Foyer by Terry Macklin Entertainment.
Now in its 29th year, the Star-Spangled Spectacular provides greater access to music and culture for the citizens of Cuyahoga County and beyond. This free community concert occurs in Downtown Cleveland every summer for Clevelanders of all ages. The outdoor venue features food truck vendors and a spectacular fireworks display following the concert. The Star-Spangled Spectacular is led by guest and resident conductors of The Cleveland Orchestra. The annual Star-Spangled Spectacular is supported by Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, sponsored by KeyBank, and audio captured by Ideastream and broadcast live on 90.3 WCPN and WCLV Classical 104.9.

marine10 Posts: 1I need to find the towing capacity of a 1990 chevy G20 conversion van with a 350 5.7L ENGINE... PLEASE HELP0
I have a 1994 G-20 Conversion Van. On the dash right next to the headlight switch { to the right of it ] is a toggle switch by a little red light. The light doesn't work, and i was wondering what this toggle switch is for ? When i turn it on, there is no notible difference in anything. Does anyone know what this could be for ?0
If you have the manuel for it, or somewhere on the van, it should tell you the towing capacity of it.0
I am trying to find Blue in dash bulbs { twist in kind ] for my 1994 G20 Conversion van. Does anyone know where i can get some ?0
I just finished redoing all the window covers in my '94 conversion van.
At Walmart in the fabric or crafts department you should be able to find what I used; it is called "Braiding Cords" it is very strong and was as close as you can get to the original, it also comes in many different colors.
FYI**Keep close track as to how the cord is inserted and tied, top and bottom as you remove it, trust me, it will then be a breeze to get them to pull up and down evenly when you get the new cords installed....Happy Trails0
I have a 1994 Chev conversion van, with power locks. Can you use a slim-jim to try and get in?
Also would there be any security issues that would keep me from trying to jimmy the lock? :mad: :mad:0
raganrd Posts: 2I believe the switch is for daytime running lights. I have a 1994 van and the switch in my van is broken. Try it out.0
I have tried this switch and nothing seems to happen. Thank's for the reply.0
cougarxr02 Posts: 1Is there any chance this is a Gladiator Conversion van (by Glaval Industries)? If it is than that toggle switch may be for the accent lighting throughout the ceiling and valances. If you look closely at these areas you will see small light bulbs behind the clear or tinted plastic piece in the ceiling and in the valances over the window. Check the fuse in the Accessory Fuse Panel that was added by the Conversion company. If the fuse isn't the issue, then it's possible the lights themselves have burned out over the years.0
The switches for my overhead lights are in the middle at the top of the van[ Above the Rear View Mirror.} I think that switch was used at one time for fog lights, but their are none on it. I have 4 Blue light up speakers in the back of my van { 2 in back } one Blue speaker on each side. and i have three blue tube lights{ 2 on one side and one on the other. I also want to put Blue speakers above each seat in the front. Thank's0
madman417 Posts: 1the switch is for the power antenna for the TV, the red light is to let you know it came up. If the light isn't on, then the antenna is not up.0
My van does not have a power antenna for the TV, it just has a power antenna for the stereo. It doesn't even have the boomerang type on top. Still at a loss as what it is for.0
danielle36 Posts: 1My vans back seat folded down into a bed but is not going back up to seating position. Also, everytime I lock my doors this loud buzz noise comes on near back door. Can you please help me??0
My van is the same way, just the power antenna for the stereo, and it doesn't have the boomerang antenna for the TV. That power antenna is just for the Stereo only. My TV still works great. No need to worry about it.0
It has to be one of your connections that go to your back seat. It could just be a bad switch. I would have them checked. That is all i can tell you.0

Asia Pacific Media Educator
The authors surveyed members of the Newspaper Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication and a random sample of daily newspaper editors to determine whether they agreed about the competencies emphasized in U.S. college journalism programs and the types of knowledge and skills that were important for beginning journalists at the end of the 20th century. The authors found the two groups differed significantly about the emphases of college journalism programs but were in considerable agreement about the skills and abilities needed by journalism graduates and the types of knowledge that new journalists need. They also found significant differences among opinions held by both groups for some topics.

Charles Ulm
|Charles Ulm
Charles Ulm in 1934, in front of his Avro X VH-UXX "Faith in Australia". The text on the side of the aircraft lists all the long-distance flights it has made.
|Full name
|Charles Thomas Philippe Ulm
18 October 1898
Melbourne, Australia
|3 December 1934 36)(aged
|Cause of death
|Disappeared during flight
|Aviation career
|Known for
Trans-Pacific flight
Setting the speed record from England to Australia at 6 days, 17 hours and 56 minutes
|Air Force Cross
Charles Thomas Philippe Ulm AFC (18 October 1898 — 3 December 1934) was a pioneer Australian aviator.
World War I
Ulm joined the AIF in September 1914, lying about his name and age. He fought and was wounded at Gallipoli in 1915, and on the Western Front in 1918.
Charles Ulm was married twice. In 1919 he married Isabel Amy Winter. After divorcing his first wife, in 1927 he married Mary Josephine Callaghan.
Partnership with Charles Kingsford Smith
Ulm is best known for his partnership with Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, and was Kingsford Smith's copilot on many of his famous flights, including the 1928 first crossing of the Pacific in the Southern Cross. Ulm was the "business brains" in the partnership, and acquired the funding necessary for the journey.[1] Ulm was also Kingsford Smith's partner in establishing Australian National Airways.
Later flights and disappearance
After the failure of Australian National Airways, Ulm bought one of the airline's Avro X aircraft for himself, and named it Faith in Australia. In this aircraft in 1933, Ulm set the speed record from England to Australia at 6 days, 17 hours and 56 minutes, and made several trans-Tasman flights.
In 1934, flying in Faith in Australia, Ulm carried the first official airmail from New Zealand to Australia, and the first official airmail delivery from Australia to Papua New Guinea.[2]
Ulm established a new company in September 1934, Great Pacific Airways Ltd, intending to operate a San Francisco-Sydney air service. Ulm disappeared in December 1934, together with copilot G.M. Littlejohn and navigator/radio operator J.S. Skilling, on a test flight from Oakland, California to Hawaii in VH-UXY Stella Australis, an Airspeed Envoy. It is believed an unexpected tailwind and bad weather caused them to fly past the islands in the dark.[3] The wind was about 35 knots from the south-southeast and the aircraft may also have been pushed north of the islands.[4] At about 10 am local time on 3 December, after sending a series of Morse coded radio messages to Hawaii advising that they were lost and running out of fuel, the Envoy ditched into the sea. Despite an extensive and immediate search by aircraft and 23 naval ships, no trace of Stella Australis or her crew was ever found. Ulm had chosen not to carry a life raft on board, preferring to save weight and predicting that the aircraft would float for two days if it were forced to land on the water.[3]
The plane had been customized by Airspeed to meet Ulm's own specifications; Airspeed's manager, Nevil Shute Norway, suggested in his autobiography that the internal cabin design may have contributed to the navigational problems, because the inexperienced navigator had to sit some distance from the pilot.[5]
In 1978 he was honoured on a postage stamp issued by Australia Post depicting Ulm and the Southern Cross.[6]
In November 2008 Qantas announced that it would be naming one of its Airbus A380's after Charles Ulm in recognition of his contribution to the aviation industry.[7] This A380 (registration: VH-OQG) entered service on 3 November 2010.[8]

Germany 23 July 1997 Supreme Court [VIII ZR 134/96] ["Benetton II" (Fashion textiles case) [translation available]
[Cite as: http://cisgw3.law.pace.edu/cases/970723g2.html]
CASE HISTORY: 1st instance [-]; 2d instance OLG Frankfurt 15 March 1996 [affirmed]
SELLER'S COUNTRY: Italy [plaintiff]
BUYER'S COUNTRY: Germany [defendant]
GOODS INVOLVED: Fashion textiles
GERMANY: Supreme Court 23 July 1997 [VIII ZR 134/96]
Case law on UNCITRAL texts (CLOUT) abstract no. 236
Reproduced with permission from UNCITRAL
An Italian seller, plaintiff, claimed payment for clothes delivered to a German buyer, defendant, under a supply contract.
The buyer refused payment of the purchase price for the goods, alleging that the parties had a void franchise agreement since it violated European and German antitrust laws. The buyer also adduced that the nullity of the franchise agreement affected the validity of their supply contract.
The court held that the CISG was applicable under its article 1(1)(b) since the parties had agreed to the application of German law. The seller's claim was justified under articles 53 and 54 CISG. It was insignificant whether the franchise agreement violated German or European antitrust laws inasmuch as the nullity of the franchise agreement did not affect the validity of the supply contract. However, each supply contract had to be examined separately and the validity of the supply contract was not governed by the CISG in keeping with its article 4(a). The court also held that the buyer was obliged to pay the seller the purchase price and that the buyer was not entitled to claim damages under article 45(1)(b) CISG.

APPLICATION OF CISG: Yes [Article 1(1)(a)]
Key CISG provisions at issues:
Classification of issues using UNCITRAL classification code numbers:

Excerpt from commentary by Peter Schlechtriem on Uniform Sales Law in the Decisions of the Bundesgerichtshof*
* Commentary on CISG issues considered by the BGH, presented in "50 Years of the Bundesgerichtshof [Federal Supreme Court of Germany]: A Celebration Anthology from the Academic Community". Click here for the full text of this commentary.
Scope of Convention ; Distributorship agreements ; Validity. "Deliveries over national borders frequently occur within the bounds and on the basis of framework agreements such as distribution contracts, franchising contracts or agency contracts. The regulation particularities of such forms of distribution are quite familiar to the German lawyer 35 and since the uniform sales laws came into effect, the decisions of the Bundesgerichtshof have led to a clear distinction between framework agreements and sales contracts concluded in the performance of such agreements.36 In one of the well-known Benetton cases,37 the disputed claims concerning the purchase price were based on the CISG while the framework agreement on the cooperation of the parties was classified as a 'franchising contract or at least similar to a franchising contract,' which was to be treated separately. Due to a convenant not to compete, the invalidity of the framework agreement had to be considered pursuant to the GWB [Gesetz gegen Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen (Act against Restraints of Competition)] and Art. 85 EWGV a. F. [Vertrag zur Gründung der Europäischen Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft (EEC Treaty)] but this had no effect on the individual sales contracts. A first possible combination of the framework agreement, which is subject to domestic law, and the sales contracts made in the performance of this agreement, which are to be judged under the Convention, becomes clear here. The Court had to examine whether the eventual invalidity of the franchising contract pursuant to § 139 BGB [partial nullity of a legal transaction] could extend to the sales contracts. Since § 139 BGB belongs to the provisions on contract validity, which under application of the Convention are left to domestic law pursuant to Art. 4(a) CISG, such an extension of invalidity to the sales contracts would have been possible. However, the Bundesgerichshof did not find the prerequisites of § 139 of the (BGB) to be satisfied since it determined that the matter concerned independent legal transactions and that the parties did not intend for them to constitute a unified legal transaction. The lower courts have also followed the Bundesgerichtshof concerning such framework agreements.38
"Of course, the border between framework agreements together with the sales contracts concluded in their performance on the one hand, and requirement contracts, on the other hand, can be fluid. For instance, without going further into the question of the legal nature of the parties' relationship, an American federal district court confirmed an arbitration award in which the CISG was applied to the contract between an American distributor and an Italian supplier.39 Decisive in this issue is the determination of what rights and duties besides the purchase of goods the distributor has undertaken. In order to avoid possible doubts, the parties are quite at liberty to agree to the application of the CISG for the framework agreement as well. However, in this case, as with any broadening of the Convention's sphere of influence, one must carefully consider whether the Convention's provisions envisaged for the delivery of goods are actually suitable for service-character obligations and their breach."
35. This familiarity is certainly not to be found in all legal systems, as shown in the difficulties during the
preparation of the distribution directive. See Rittner, Die EG-Kommission und das Handelsvertreterrecht
- Zum geplanten EG-Recht über Vertikalverträge, DB 1999, 2097 sub I. 1. b).

Docket No. VIII ZR 134/96
Translation [*] by Alexander P. Imberg
Translation edited by Ruth M. Janal
Facts of the case
The Italian [seller] is the company "Benetton", which inter alia manufactures clothing. Benetton sells those clothes via independent retailers, such as the German [buyer]. The second defendant is the [buyer's] general partner, who is personally liable for the debts incurred by the [buyer]. The [seller] invoiced the [buyer] a total of 110,970.20 DM [Deutsche Mark] for goods delivered to the [buyer] between 30 September 1993 and 4 October 1994. [Seller] is seeking payment of the purchase price from the [buyer] and its general partner.
Between 1998 and January 1995, the [buyer] was running several clothing retail shops. In their lay-out and furnishing, those shop were geared towards the [seller's] products and only the [seller's] clothing was sold. The [buyer] was non-exclusively and revocably entitled to use the [seller's] trademark "Benetton" without adding its own name, as long as the [seller] was delivering to [buyer]. It was only by mistake that the [buyer's] general partner did not sign a corresponding declaration of 16 September 1987, which had been drawn up by the [seller]. The [buyer] and its general partner argue that a franchise agreement was implicitly formed between the [seller] and the [buyer], which violated German and European anti-trust regulations and was therefore invalid. The nullity of this franchise agreement also rendered void the individual contracts for the sale of goods which formed the basis of the [seller's] claim.
In the alternative, the [buyer] and its general partner submit a set-off with a claim for damages based on Benetton's shocking world-wide advertisement campaign. Since 1991, the [seller] has chosen pictures for Benetton's campaign that show the suffering in the world and contain the remark "United Colors of Benetton". The [buyer] alleges that it suffered a slump in sales and a resulting loss of profit in the amount of 655,322 DM through the [seller's] advertisements, which became the topic of heated public discussions [cf. BGH in "Benetton I"].
In a further alternative, the [buyer] submits a set-off with an alleged compensation claim resulting from an analogy to § 89b HGB [compensation claim of commercial agents under the German Commercial Code]. The [buyer] calculates this claim at 217,251 DM.
The Regional District Court (Landgericht) ruled in favor of the [seller], denying the validity of all of [buyer's] defenses and counterclaims. Upon appeal by the [buyer] and its general partner, the Court of Appeals (Oberlandesgericht) affirmed the decision of the Court of First Instance. The [buyer] and its general partner then lodged an appeal on points of law.
Grounds for the decision
A) Without any error of law, the Court of Appeals granted the [seller] a claim for payment of the purchase price based on Arts. 53, 54 CISG in the amount of DM 110,970.00 for textiles delivered to and billed to the [buyer] between September 1993 and October 1994. With regard to the [buyer's] general manager, the claim is based on §§ 161(2), 128 sent. 1 HGB.[*]
1. The Appeal Court's finding that the parties chose the applicability of German law (Art. 27 EGBHG [*]), without excluding the application of the CISG, does not contain a mistake of law. The [buyer's] appeal argues that by choosing German law, the parties excluded the applicability of the CISG under Art. 6 of the Convention. In doing so, [buyer] overlooks that an agreement on the applicability of substantive German law by itself cannot be seen as an exclusion of the CISG. The reference to German law [as the applicable law] includes the CISG as a part of the same (cf. Schlechtriem/Herber, CISG, 2d ed., Art. 6 n. 16; and, with regards to ULIS,[*] BGHZ [*] 96, 313, 322 et seq.). While an implicit exclusion of the Convention is generally possible if the parties correspondingly refer to specific provisions of German national sales law (BGHZ [*] 96, 313 (321)), there is no room for such an assumption in the present dispute. The Court of Appeals held -- unchallenged by the [buyer's] appeal -- that the [buyer] and its partner explicitly agreed to the application of the CISG during the oral hearing before the Court of Appeals.
2. The Court of Appeals rightfully left open the question of whether individual or all of the further distribution agreements between the parties, which were ascertained by the Court as they had been alleged by the [buyer], violated German (§§ 15, 18, 34 GWB [*]) or European (Art. 85(1) EEC Treaty) Antitrust Law. The appeal challenges without success the Appeal Court's finding that the individual contracts -- which form the basis of [seller's] claim -- are valid even if the distribution agreements were not.
According to Article 4(a), the CISG is not concerned with the validity of contracts to sell. Therefore, the causes of nullity and invalidity [i.e., the defenses to the formation of a contract] of German domestic law, as the applicable law by virtue of the rules of private international law (Arts. 27, 31(1) EGBGB [*]), take effect (Schlechtriem/Herber, id. Art. 4, n. 4, 6; Hoyer, in Hoyer/Posch, Das Einheitliche Wiener Kaufrecht, p. 39 et seq.). Accordingly, the Court of Appeals concluded without error of law that the sales contracts which form the basis of the [seller's] claim are not affected by a possible nullity of the parties' distribution agreements under § 139 BGB.[*]
Translator's note: The Court then enters into a discussion strictly of the findings of the Court of Appeals and substantive German law. No more articles of the CISG are discussed. The Court affirms the Appeal Court's decision and enters a ruling in favor of the [seller].

Luomo: The Present Lover
The first thing that hits you when you hear Luomo's new album, The Present Lover, is its warmth. Sultry female voices croon languorously in your ear. Comfy beats, more hypnotic and soft than driving and pummeling, pulsate through your head. Smooth, languid layers of synthesizers provide only a bare minimum of accompaniment. This album is a bit of an epic, running close to 75 minutes, but it provides such a pleasurable listening experience, that you're immediately lost in the songs' deceptively simple arrangements, so much so, that it's sometimes hard to believe it when the CD ends.
It's almost impossible for someone who writes about music to resist using lazy subgenre titles, so let me just get it out of the way right now. Microhouse. Finnish artist Vladislav Delay, AKA Luomo (funny how his alias sounds more Finnish than his real name, but I digress), emerged a few years ago as one of the foremost names in microhouse, his Vocalcity album delivering some stirring, spacious, minimally-arranged dance music, the hook-filled vocals weaving in and out of his bare-bones arrangements. It's the kind of dance music you'd rather listen to privately with your significant other, instead of hearing it in a club, its rhythmic, steamy quality serving as the ultimate mood music.
Three years after Vocalcity entranced listeners, The Present Lover was released, to much acclaim, in Europe during the summer of 2003, and finally, North America has caught up. Still boasting some rather lengthy tracks, it's much more streamlined an album, songs ranging from four minutes to nine minutes, as opposed to Vocalcity's 12-16 minute pieces. Beats are slightly more insistent, the production has more depth than the previous album, and overall, it's quite an improvement. The Present Lover is completely entrancing, and on several occasions, it's absolutely gorgeous.
The fact is, this album is more of a pop record than anyone else, Luomo pulling it off with such supreme skill, that if he were to do so, he could elevate the most mundane pop diva wannabe to goddess status in the blink of an eye. Just listen to that terrific disco strut in "Body Speaking" (previously released on 2002's Diskonize Me 12-inch), that distinctive low synth vamp that doesn't let up for eight minutes, the slightest, tiniest hint of synth chords underneath it all, the overdubbed female voices softly singing, "Can you feel my body speaking?" It's so ridiculously simple, but often in music like this, less is much better than more, and this song is the perfect example. "What Good" is a stunner, opening with a head-bobbing, bouncy, three minute movement, before shifting immediately into a soaring, lushly produced minute of musical euphoria, before regressing back to the initial arrangement. "So You" has a touch of R&B in the airy female vocals and a tiny hint of glitch in the softly stuttering beats, while the synth funk of "Shelter" features a solo vocal track weaving in and out of the music, Luomo cutting and pasting the vocals like a mad pop genius.
Fans might have initially bristled at the thought of Luomo including a reworked version of the Vocalcity standout "Tessio" on The Present Lover, and for good reason. Surely he had better things to do than just stick on a redundant piece of music, right? Well, what the man has done is rework the song so brilliantly, it makes the original sound stale and one-dimensional in comparison. Vocalcity's "Tessio" is a restrained, expansive piece of work, the moments of silence playing as prominent a role as the minimal synths and the dueting male and female vocals. The new version, however, is a much tighter piece of work, as Luomo transforms it into a flat-out gem of a dance anthem that borders on straight-up house music. This time around, the track boasts a buoyant acoustic guitar lick, waves and flutters of synths, an undulating, dub-fused bass line, and a strictly female vocal track, making for a joyous, downright dance-inducing listening experience.
If there's a weakness in Luomo's music, it's his lyrics, which often range from hackneyed to stupefyingly surreal. The ethereal "Visitor" is a pretty little tune, but the line, "I'm cleaning up black coffee and feta cheese," is so laughably weird, it rivals the work of German techno buffoons Scooter. However, the sheer beauty of the music wins out in the end, making Luomo's lyrical ineptness forgivable. The Present Lover is the perfect antidote from the cheap thrills of mainstream pop and mind-numbing mainstream dance music, the kind of stuff you savor for long periods of time.

A 12 year old girl raised on a strict vegan diet was admitted to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow, Scotland, suffering from a severe form of rickets. The girl had already experienced multiple fractures and been diagnosed with a degenerated spine comparable to that of an unhealthy 80-year-old woman.
Fox News reports the hospital doctors are under pressure to report the couple to police and social workers. Dr. Faisal Ahmed, a pediatrician treating the child, declined to discuss specifics, but allowed the dangers of forcing children to follow a strict vegan diet need to be publicized.
If raised strictly vegan, the child would almost certainly have severe deficiencies of Vitamins A and D, both of which are essential bone nutrients that can only be obtained from animal products.
For example, using aquafaba in recipes instead of eggs among other common substitutions can prove very dangerous.
In all likelihood, the child would also be lacking needed calcium, zinc, B-12 as well as other B vitamins, Vitamin K, the EPA and DHA fatty acids and the sulfur containing amino acids methionine and cysteine.
Although the human body is theoretically capable of converting beta carotene into Vitamin A, children are not able to do so efficiently if at all. Sunlight could have provided Vitamin D but only if the family lived outdoors in the tropics and not in a northern clime like Scotland.
Other Cases of Child Vegans Suffering Severe Nutritional Deficiencies
Sadly, this is not the first time vegans have been accused of child abuse though it may be the first case involving crippling bone damage. More typically, vegan babies end up in hospital from malnutrition caused by the use of soy milk instead of infant formula. Given soy milk alone, babies end up with severe vitamin, mineral, fatty acid and amino acid deficiencies, which is why soy formula manufacturers are required by law to add methionine and other nutrients that are critical for a baby's growth.
In 1990, the FDA investigated after a two month old girl in California was hospitalized with severe malnutrition. Her parents had fed her soy milk instead of soy formula. Because of this and a similar incident in Arkansas involving the SoyMoo brand of soy milk, the FDA issued a warning on June 13, 1990. Since then, most brands of soy milk — but not EdenSoy — include warning labels in tiny print on their packages.
Clearly, voluntary warning labels have not been enough, and there have been deaths as well as hospitalizations of vegan babies fed soy milk. In May 2007, vegan parents in Atlanta were found guilty of the death of their six month old baby. To supplement the mother's inadequate supply of breast milk the parents had fed their son soy milk and apple juice. The baby was only 3 1/2 pounds when he died of starvation in April 2004.
Other vegan parents have also been charged and found guilty, including a New York couple convicted of murder and a Florida couple of manslaughter. In London, two vegans received a sentence of three years' community rehabilitation after they admitted starving their baby to death.
In France, a vegan couple were sentenced to 5 years in prison for the death of their 11 month old daughter. The baby, who was only 12.5 pounds at the time of her death, had been exclusively breastfed. An autopsy showed her to be not only severely underweight and malnourished but severely deficient in Vitamins A and B12. The mother had cared enough to breastfeed, but had an inadequate supply of poor quality milk because of the limitations of her diet and the depletion of her own nutritional stores because of pregnancy.
And now we have the tragic case of this 12 year old girl in Scotland. Although finally getting medical treatment, her prognosis remains grim.
And now, with the 2017 release of the highly flawed documentary What The Health, more well intentioned but seriously misinformed vegan child malnourishment cases are likely to follow.
