Anti-government protesters have occupied Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok, resulting in the suspension of flights from city's former main airport until the evening of November 27, effectively isolating the Thai capital from international air traffic.
Following the enforced closure of the newer Suvarnabhumi International Airport earlier this week, many international flights were diverted to Don Mueang, which had operated as a secondary airport serving mainly domestic routes after Suvarnabhumi opened in September 2006.
THAI Airways International cancelled 152 domestic and international flights yestersday and diverted 24 international arrivals, 20 to Don Muaeng International Airport, three to U-Tapao airport near Pattaya and one to Chiang Mai International Airport in the north of the country.
THAI has provided accommodation for passengers who were unable to travel from Bangkok to 15 hotels including, The Emerald, Indra Regent, Rama Garden, Ambassador, Amari Airport, Radisson, Amari Atrium, Fortune, Amari Boulevard.
Evan Lewis, vice-president - communications Asia Pacific for Accor said: "Novotel Suvarnabhumi at Bangkok International Airport is running almost full as passengers have found themselves stranded at the airport due to the closure. As with most airport hotels, guest arrivals and departures are a constant, as the hotel finds itself full it is transferring guests to the Novotel Banga Bangkok – the next closest Accor hotel to airport. The hotel as with all Accor hotels in Thailand was well prepared and has increased security in and around the hotel and stockpiled necessary provisions and supplies to trade in the event of an incident. The hotel operations are running well," he said.
"Any Accor guests that have prepaid their Bangkok accommodation through Accor channels are entitled to refunds. Any passengers that feel that they are entitled to any compensation should make contact with their airline."
Carolyn Leung, corporate communications manager, public affairs, at Cathay Pacific, pointed out that the airline was not obliged "to provide hotel accommodation because only very few passengers showed up at either Bangkok or Hongkong airport because the airline has issued an early advisory about cancelled flights and asked passengers to check with the airline before leaving for the airport. But, in a case where a passenger was already checked in and the flight was cancelled, the airline will provide hotel accommodation upon the passenger's request."
THAI airways have published two helpline numbers for passengers in Thailand: 0-2356-1111 or 0-2545-4000, the airline also promises updates on its website www.thaiairways.com
The airport closures have also disrupted other airlines using Bangkok as a regional hub for their long haul flights.
Emirates has had to cancel and reroute several of its onward flights to Hongkong and Australia and has established a passenger hotline +971-4-2144444.
Tourism accounts for an estimated US$16 billion in revenue annually, about 6.5 percent of Thailand's gross domestic product.
In 2007, Suvarnabhumi handled 40 million passengers making it the 18th busiest airport in the world.

Polenta can seem like one of those scary ingredients that leaves everyone thinking "What in the world do I do with that?"
I was definitely one of those people. How do I cook it? Is it for breakfast? Is it similar to grits? Gosh, way to many questions for something so simple. I like things to be easy and the easier it is for me to cook with, the more likely I am to do so. I found a pre cooked, ready to heat and serve polenta at Trader Joes. So, I bought it and there it stayed in my pantry for the longest time. Then one day, I sat the polenta on my counter and stared at it, hoping it would start turning itself into something amazing. Nothing happened … sheesh, guess I'll have to do it myself … 😛
I have to admit, this is probably one of the easiest, quickest, thrown together meals I've ever made … and it tastes so, so good. My friends' italian husband even gave it 2 thumbs up 🙂

Mothers Day is May 13!
Everyone of us has a mother or is a mother. Mothers are indispensible many times! Mothers brought us into the world, and cared for us until we could care for ourselves. They help us in so many ways, and always love us no matter what!
May 13th – A Day to Celebrate Mothers!
Mother's Day Gifts come in so many forms, all the way from doing something special to giving gifts.
In my family, growing up, having a special meal on your birthday was something my mother enjoyed doing. It often included inviting other family members, mostly our grandparents. As we became teenagers, we began to think about Mother's special days. Her birthday, Mother's Day and wedding anniversary.
I always felt these special times were ways to show love and appreciation for the honorary person and spend quality time together. After all, as members in a family it is a good time to build and nurture our relationships. Mothers work hard and wear many hats in life.
What can you give this Mothers Day to make the day special for your Mother?
Mother's Day Gift Ideas
Planning a Mother's Day Meal
As an adult daughter, I often had a Mother's Day Gathering that included a special meal. We often exchanged the gift of hanging flower baskets. This way we had a beautiful basket of flowers to enjoy through spring and summer!
Giving the gift of time or a gift card
School age children can give a gift to Mother by giving a gift certificate or gift card. Maybe the certificate could be for tasks not on the normal chore list, or yard work or babysitting.
A Handmade Card
Making a handmade card to give to mom, signing and dating it. Mothers often keep the gifts and cards their children have made for years to come.
Chocolate for Mother!
A pretty mug filled with Mother's favourite tea, coffee or chocolate. Hershey kisses are the perfect filler!
Easy DIY Mothers Day Gifts
Handmade Lip Balm only takes about 15 minutes to make. They are very easy and can be flavoured or unflavoured. The ingredients you need are beeswax, coconut oil, shea butter or cocoa butter, castor oil and essential oils to flavour if desired. Lip balm tubes, you can get them here. The following recipe I made in about 15 minutes. I made some unflavoured and some flavoured.
Lip Balm Recipe
1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon beeswax weighing 4 grams
1 Tablespoon coconut oil
1Tablespoon shea butter
1 1/2 tsp castor oil
10 – 15 drops of essential oil of choice, optional (flavour ideas below)
Line up all your lip tubes and rubber band them together, also make sure they are twisted down.
Measure butters and oils and place in a glass pitcher.
Fill a large saucepan with 1-1 1/2 inches of water and bring to boil.
When it boils, add the glass pitcher to the saucepan.Stir every few minutes until melted and combined.
Once all is melted, take off the heat and let stand 3 minutes, then add your essential oils.
Using the glass pitcher, slowly pour the lip balm into the tubes and let cool.
I actually poured 3 tubes unflavoured, then added the citrus flavours and poured 4 more tubes and then the 5 drops of Lavender and poured the remaining. I wanted to try a couple of flavours as well as unflavoured. It is ok to be creative!
This recipe makes approximately 8 -10 tubes of lip balm. You could also use lip balm pots or small containers of your choice.
After they have cooled and set up you can decorate the tubes and/or label them as desired. I used some washi tape to make the containers look pretty.
Flavour ideas: Citrus, 1 drop lime, 5 drops grapefruit, 3 drops of lemongrass.
Citrus Lavender, 1 drop lime, 5 drops grapefruit, 3 drops of lemongrass, 5 drops of Lavender.
Peppermint: 5 – 10 drops of peppermint essential oil depending on how strong you want the flavour.
If you would like a printable version of the instructions, click here and download a Free Printable Lip Balm Recipe!
Another super easy gift to make for Mothers is Soap. Anyone can make Melt and Pour Soap. It is completely safe, fun and exciting to make! My very first batch of soap was a Melt and Pour Recipe! Now I am formulating my own recipes and making cold process and hot process soaps.
Coconut Shea Butter Soap
For this recipe you will need Shea Butter soap base, soap fragrance or essential oils and a soap mold. You should be able to buy these supplies at Michaels, Amazon or any craft store.
10 cubes of Shea Butter Melt and Pour Base or about 8 oz by weight
15 drops of Coconut Fragrance
1 teaspoon of honey
1 teaspoon of plain yogurt
I don't use fragrance oils so I am going to use essential oils instead or if you want unscented you can leave out the scent. I am going to use 8-10 drops of Grapefruit essential and 5 drops of eucalyptus essential oil.
Cut your soap base in cubes and place in a glass container.
Melt the soap base in the microwave using 30 sec increments. Stir after 30 sec and then heat for 30 more till completely melted. Once it is melted you can add the honey and yogurt and stir in. Let sit for about 3 minutes and then add the fragrance or essential oils. I added about 1/2 teaspoon of ground tumeric for a yellow colour. You could add more or less depending on what colour you want.

These are some very simple ideas for gifts to make for Mother's Day!

Why do some people say ' an historic battle' instead of 'a historic battle'? You wouldn't say 'an hand' would you?
I know you'd say 'an honourable victory' as the 'h' is silent. This is not the case in 'an historic'.
9 Answers
- GypsyfishLv 710 months agoFavourite answer
You're right about the rule depending on whether the h is pronounced. Historically, the word "history" came from French, where they don't pronounce initial h's, and the British didn't pronounce the h either, so "an" was appropriate. But now most people pronounce the "h"- and if you look on Amazon, you'll find many books named "A historic" instead of "An historic". Language changes, and this seems to be in the middle of a change, where some people were taught the old rule and still follow it.
- RAGHAVENDRANLv 410 months ago
'H' is silent. But it's not always so.
- bluebellbkkLv 710 months ago
Some words are indeed optionally pronounced without the initial 'h', and this pronunciation has traditionally been viewed as a marker of upper-class English speech. Typical examples are 'an hotel' and 'an historic victory'.
I saw an answer addressing this question recently on some other site, and it said - I believe correctly - that this happens ONLY (though not always) when the stress is on the second syllable. This is why it doesn't happen with 'honour' or its derivatives, or with mono-syllabic words like 'hand' or 'horse'.
Dropping the 'h' on 'hand' or 'horse' or 'horrible' is of course a marker of uneducated or at best lazy speech. But you'll find 'an hotel' is standard among the English upper classes.
- Anonymous10 months ago
In some accents H in historic is silent. It never is for hand.

best case scenario: because they don't pronounce the H
- choko_canyonLv 710 months ago
SOME people don't say 'an historic battle', everyone who understands correct English grammar says that, because it's correct. As for WHY it's correct, it's an exception to the general 'h' rule in grammar. It is the only 'h' word in fact that requires 'an' instead of 'a' preceding it.
- k wLv 710 months ago
that's the way I learned, an historic moment.....but the public fool system does lots of stuipd things these days......doesn't make it right either......
- lizLv 510 months ago
I was taught to say an historic battle at school. it is plain English and much easier to say than a historic battle.
- SpeedLv 710 months ago
Naturally there's a rule, although it's seldom taught in the US. (And like a lot of so-called rules, this one is slowly changing, becoming less enforced in business and academia, ordinarily the final bastions of grammar rules.)
Native American-English speakers rarely use "an" before an H-word in casual conversation, and I expect the practice will be considered a quaint eccentricity before I'm dead. It's already limited in spoken English in the US to those whose speaking style could be considered elevated or even pompous.
The rule is that for an H-word to be preceded by "an", it must have all of the following:
--an unpronounced H (words like "hour, heir, honest, honorable, honorific, herb," but not "house, hair, honing, horrible, harp");
--if three or more syllables, the primary accent on the second syllable (" heroic, historic, historical, horrific, hysterical", etc., but not "heroism, highlander, hillbilly, horrible, hospital, humanitarian," or "hysterectomy");
--the role of a noun or an adjective immediately before a noun, so an article ("a, an" or "the") can naturally precede it (which excludes "however");
--the ability to accept the indeterminate article (the one that isn't "the") because it means a specific one, which leaves out "humanity"); and
--a formal or academic context, usually. Most US newspapers' and magazines' style standards have long-since dropped "an H-word" usage.

By Honiton most people, however, mean the lace made there in the 19th century in which strong floral motifs are joined to a net (often spotted) background. The finest pieces have a fresh, easy naturalism that can be very attractive, but generally the designs are somewhat incoherent and have a less professional look than the similar Belgian laces.

Forgiveness is power. Forgiveness can transform your life. Being willing to forgive is not easy. There are so many people who have suffered so many tragic, horrible and awful things. Many at the hand of another. Some think if they forgive it's like saying that the thing that happened is okay. I believe forgiveness is letting go of the pain so that it will stop hurting you mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Holding onto something that you could let go of is like leaving one rotting orange in a bowl of fresh oranges. This rot spreads and quickly effects the perfectly good fruit. When you hold onto past hurts, you typically have health conditions. Conditions you might believe are caused by genetics or allergies or an accident etc. What I see in my office is that so many struggle with dis-ease until they can forgive.
From my perspective, there are two types of forgiveness. Conscious mind and subconscious mind forgiveness. Many people come into my office and tell me they have already forgiven but when we test the subconscious mind, the subconscious disagrees. It's important to consciously forgive but it's even more important to subconsciously forgive. The subconscious is 1 million times more powerful than the conscious mind and really controls our health and well being. If the subconscious is "happy" then we are too. The subconscious is timeless so even if something happened 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 etc. plus years ago, it's the same in the subconscious mind today as it was then. Think about the worst thing that ever happened to you. If your subconscious is experiencing that event like it was happening today, what do you think that thought is causing to happen in your body?
Ready for some pain relief, piece, joy, acceptance and happiness? Ask yourself, who do you need to forgive? Maybe it's you. Many times we are the hardest on ourselves. We criticize our "worst" attribute with the best attributes of others. Why do we do this to ourselves? Let's get rid of the negative self talk and lack of forgiveness that is rampant in our world because it is rampant in our heads. How do we turn it around? Start with asking yourself, how would you rather feel? About you, about others, about events and situations. What would it be like if you really felt the way you'd like to feel? Imagine your life like you want it to be. Hold onto that thought. Make that your new reality and release the shackles that may have you bound. Are you ready to Let Go?

Long choppy layers or even points to break up line of the face contour.This is true for oval faces, however because the face is longer no points are needed. Frame the face short layers to stop the eye from going the full length of the face.Now pear is also in the family, but if you have an inverted pear, then you fall into the opposite category.
Ok ladies, square and triangle shaped faces. Think soft layers to break up the harsh lines of the face. Have hair flow in front of the chin area. If it has a strong line break it up. When you look at a face your eye natural follows the contour of the face. So the trick is to balance the face and move the eye in the most flattering way.
So now you are ready to go out and buy a beautiful wig.
Wigs vs Natural
Sep 16, 2015
I myself am a big fan of both looks. The question is what feels good to you. Let me start by saying you get what you pay for. This is not the time to count pennies. If a wig is on sale fine, but remember this is an extension of you. No fake fiber, nylon, acrylic please. If a flame gets near your hair it will not burn, it will melt and stick to your skin and burn you. Human hair is what you ask the shop keeper.
Now long or short is up to you, but style and cut is depends on you face shape. There are five main shapes however, people can be in a sub category. Round, square, oval, pear, triangle.
I have to run but, I will pick up this on my next blog.
More on sissy
Sep 11, 2015
Stockings VS bare legs
In an office setting a women can get away with full stocking. A modern sissy may wish to have on thigh highs to allow for more movement. Instead of color try texture to showcase you personality and style. This tip works for school teachers too. Get creative to show off your sex appeal. When a man caresses your legs for the first time adding texture will help him remember it.
Bare legs are nice but, this is a causal look and not dramatic. A sissy can go bare at the beach, out shopping, with friends. A good rule of thumb is if the sun is out, for example a lunch date it is fine to go bare. Just make sure your feet are well taken care of. For some men this is a big turn off.
more on the way.....
Looking for the perfect sissy
Sep 08, 2015
I had an idea about a new training routine to help my sissy boys. I want to talk about building confidence while still providing a fun and safe environment. I want to hear all about you daily life, good as well as bad experience. I will help you tackle problems in your life. Together we will make you the best women you can be.
After we discuss emotions we can then move on to the fun part( Skin treatments) I like to make my own the natural way with things you can pick up in the store. I have a recipe for body wax too. Men love smooth legs. The last part is also super fun dresses and make-up.
More coming soon...

Play with mommy
Sep 01, 2015
Mommy wants to play today if you're naughty I can spank you and if you're nice I have a special little treat. If you were bent over my knee I would turn that butt cherry red. I would use paddles or my firm hand because mommy knows best. Tell mommy me the truth if this turns you on. I could dress you up to make you look pretty.
If you want to make mommy your pet you only have to ask. What can mommy do for you? Do you want to put toys inside of mommy? Do you like to make mommy beg and moan? Mommy can squirt in your mouth and on your face. Call to talk to mommy today.
Sleepless night
Aug 26, 2015
Last night I could not sleep a wink. I got a bath thinking that would help. While toweling myself dry I had an idea. That morning I went to my local toy store. I could not sleep so why not have some fun.
I tried playing with some of my new toys that I purchased that morning. First, a double ended twelve inch black dildo. The dark colored ones are my favorite, because I enjoy seeing all that creamy goodness when you are all done. I fixed the mirror so I could see it snake in and out. My silk black and pink robe was slowly opened. I love the feel if smooth silk against my skin. I had on my crotchless panties black silk with little pink bows. I looked at the mirror that was casting my beautiful reflection. My pussy was waiting to be spread open and take all that rubber cock.
I would love to tell you all about my new toys that I have to play with. Call me and we can play together.

The Cornell Department of Computer Science once had a tradition of collecting humorous and amusing quotes from the faculty, graduate students, and guest lecturers, so that they could be published for the entertainment of the community.
Originally quotes were recorded by hand and laboriously compiled into a paper publication, which was last printed in 1985. The arrival of Internet technology enabled the process to be significantly streamlined, and a webpage was established for the purpose of submitting and viewing quotes.
Unfortunately, the original quotes webpage (known as "Upson's Familiar Quotations") fell into disrepair, and stopped functioning sometime around 2008. The location and access credentials of the server were forgotten, and many great quotes were lost.
This website is an attempt to revive the tradition of collecting quotes by re-creating the online quotes page. It was built in November 2014 by Edward Tremel, on a new web server provided by the CIS ITSG.
Quotes submitted through this site are subject to moderation before being displayed, both to verify their accuracy and to prevent spam. Nevertheless, the authenticity of quotes cannot be guaranteed.
We will honor all requests to have quotes removed. Remember, this site is meant to be for entertainment purposes, so we hope you won't take offense if you have been quoted saying something funny.

Why Angela and Dwight were the greatest love story on "The Office" — not Jim and Pam
The Office first aired on NBC on March 24th, 2005. In honor of its upcoming 13th anniversary, one contributor wants to celebrate a Dunder Mifflin love story beyond Jim and Pam, one that fans might not consider to be as much of a "fairy tale."
"How did you and your boyfriend get together? What's your story?"
It's not an unusual question to be asked, especially seven years into a serious relationship with a man who you live with, own dogs with, and plan to spend the foreseeable future with. But for me, it is a painfully awkward question that forces me to confront the fact that my love story, our love story, isn't exactly a fairy tale. Rather, it's a bumbling narrative with equal parts romance and heartache, pleasure and pain, pride and embarrassment. It's one that, knowing where it ends, I wouldn't change for the world — but one I'm not especially anxious to tell at parties, either.
For so long, I have wanted my "love story" to look more like the tales I admired in books, on TV, and in movies. I wanted to be able to tell people I married my high school sweetheart, like Topanga in Boy Meets World, or that I followed my true love across the country to college, à la Felicity. I dreamed of telling a story that swept listeners off their feet, one that left them thinking, Those two are meant to be, not, I can't believe they're still together.
Every time I watched those television shows, I saw a couple that made me feel like my love story was somehow inadequate. Our origin story wasn't picture-perfect like the romances that played out on the small screen.
And then my boyfriend and I re-watched The Office, and I realized there was already a couple I could relate to on TV — one that perfectly captured how messy and utterly imperfect love can be: Angela Martin and Dwight Schrute.
As soon as the first episode of U.S. version of The Office aired in 2005, it was obvious that Jim and Pam were going to be the couple to watch. Over the course of nine seasons, PB&J (as they were affectionately nicknamed by fans) became best friends, fell in love, broke each other's hearts, *finally* began dating, got married, and started a family. All the while, they expressed their love through deeply romantic gestures that often left Pam — and the audience — in tears. There was the time that Jim used a teapot to create the most thoughtful Christmas present for Pam, and the time Pam made Jim his very own comic book for Valentine's Day. When they got engaged, it was at a rest stop in the rain because Jim just couldn't wait to do it a second longer. He bought Pam a house, and several years later, she sold it so they could follow Jim's dream job to Texas.
For 201 episodes, the Halperts lived out a fairytale romance through grand, deeply sentimental moments that hurtled them steadily toward a Happily Ever After that viewers never really doubted they'd get. It was sweet, romantic, and altogether swoon-worthy — but it also felt so unrelatable and unrealistic to a viewer like me who has had to travel a much bumpier road on the way to finding The One.
Pam and Jim may have been the most popular couple on the show, but for me, Angela and Dwight were the real relationship goals on The Office.
Angela Martin, Dunder Mifflin's straight-laced accountant, and Dwight Schrute, the Scranton branch's most loyal employee, had a will-they-won't-they romance for the ages. For nine seasons, the two unlikely love birds were caught up in a mostly secret affair that brought them as much joy as it did sorrow. Things between Dwight and Angela were always passionate, but they were rarely easy. In the beginning, they hid their happy relationship from coworkers for fear of criticism, but after a genuinely well-intentioned cat murder, it ultimately ended in heartbreak.
Dwight and Angela tried to move on — she eventually even got engaged to their co-worker Andy Bernard — but time and time again, they found themselves back in each other's arms. Their affair was revealed, a duel was fought, an ultimate betrayal was exposed, and halfway through the series, it seemed that the unlikely pair had run out of chances.
But they weren't though — in fact, their love story was just getting started. They'd fall in and out of love, try and make a baby, attempt to get back together, and find (and even marry) other people. In the end, it wasn't big romantic gestures or swoon-worthy moments that brought Dwight and Angela together.
It was a little forgiveness, a lot of growing, and plenty of hard work.
No matter what happened between them, Dwight and Angela were willing to put everything on the line for one another. And for these two that meant their jobs and their reputations.
In Season 2, when Angela forgot to turn in an important report to corporate, Dwight drove to New York to deliver it for her. In order to protect their relationship when Michael discovered the trip and demanded answers, Dwight chose getting fired over revealing his true motivations. Angela later came to his rescue when she was willing to tell Michael everything in order to get him to hire Dwight back.
When their romantic relationship wavered, their commitment to one another did not. In Season 6, the pair make a contract to have a baby together so they can both live out their dreams of parenthood, but when Angela meets another man, Dwight lets her go. She eventually has a son, Philip, with her new husband, In the final season, Dwight and his new girlfriend try to rig a paper airplane contest in Angela's favor so that she'd win the much-needed cash prize. Right down to the show's final moments, Dwight and Angela prove that they are willing to do whatever it takes to support one another, even if it doesn't make them personally happy.
Dwight's ultimate act of love acknowledges how complicated, messy, and imperfect love can be.
It took years for Dwight and Angela to get their timing right, and like so many other couples — including me and my boyfriend — theirs was a love story that didn't follow a straight path.
Instead, they often traveled totally different directions on veering roads that looped and bended and hooked up with other highways that led far away from their starting point. Time and time again, though, their paths kept crossing, sometimes in perfect synchronicity, other times in a violent collision that left them both scarred.
When it came down to it, Dwight and Angela chose each other, not because it was the easy choice or even the right choice, but because it was a choice they had worked so hard at making a possibility.
They had to overcome shame and embarrassment, betrayals and lies, other failed relationships, and their own egos and fears in order to get to a place where they could be happy together. What their rollercoaster of a relationship taught the audience, and what it reminded me of when I re-watched it years later, is that building a loving relationship isn't about leaving the baggage at the door — it's about helping your partner carry what they cannot manage on their own.
In the end, Dwight and Angela do get their fairy tale moments, but they have to slay more than a few dragons first. There were no shared earbuds or rooftop pizza dinners, no professions of love over hot coals or underneath the mist at Niagara Falls, but there was patience, kindness, respect, and most importantly, love.
Angela and Dwight may not have had a storybook romance, but their journey created a stable, loving relationship, a committed partnership, and an enduring love. In other words, the exact kind of story I want.

REVEALED: What are they up to?
I've had a lot of questions about these aircraft drawing attention to themselves on aircraft tracking sites going backwards and forwards in the sky. Therefore I thought it was about time I revealed the answer.
These aircraft are part of the UK Brexit Display Team. They are currently practicing often at night in the skies over the UK. Aircraft G-MIND & G-LEAF Reims-Cessna F406 Caravan II Aircraft form the Display Team based at East Midlands Airport. The concept is to demonstrate, in an Aerobatic Display, the negotiations the UK Government are undertaking with the European Union. The final display will see the Aircraft go back and forth to Brussels, without really getting anywhere. A spokesperson said: "It's like interpretive dance for Aircraft, we have tried to make our display profile more interesting than simply going round in circles, we think it's rather clever" There are hidden metaphors throughout the display, which includes many U-Turns, an overall sense of lack of direction and the overwhelming feeling there must be a better way to get there. The spokesperson went on to say: "Like Mrs May, you never know when the display is going to end, seemingly they reach the end of a leg and you think to yourself "that's it for her, she's done for" but then, despite the terrible odds, she continues for another round!!!"
The team use two aircraft so you can never be sure which Aircraft will be the leader at the end of the display. The team hope that they will be the right choice to represent the Country in this Display, however, they are not too worried about being knocked off the top spot as they seem to survive because of a lack of credible opposition!
There has been much speculation about the ending of the Display which is a well protected secret the Team are keeping tight lipped about. However there is speculation that in the end the team will simply crash and burn, or, on the flip side, that it will simply end without any of the drama project fear has drummed into us over the years.
The Team worryingly keep reassuring us that these are the Aircraft that will see us through, mapping their way through the Brexit Saga rather boringly. They say there is no truth to the rumours the Rees-Mogg Biplane made by the Jacob aircraft company will take over. The Rees-Mogg is a surprisingly young Aircraft despite rather deceptively looking like something from a bygone era of aviation and sounding much older when it's old engine splutters out Latin tones. There is also, we are assured, no truth to the rumours that Johnson's "Boris" Aircraft will take over, it's a big, blustering almost idiotic design, that no one can quite understand and has recently been in the news sighted overnighting in other Aircrafts Hangars and not it's own. An Airshow Enthusiast recently said "Its quite a funny design, but ultimately it's hard to know if you can take it seriously on the Display Circuit, one minute it's knocking over all the little planes and the next thing you see it flirting with some young sporty looking Vans RV-8 on a pay to fly internship"
Whatever the uncertainly May bring we are assured the Display team will keep practicing, always hanging over us, splitting opinion with the trusty if not rather awkward and robotic F406 Caravan II at the helm despite the rumours the Team have all got different opinions about who should be flying it. We will continue to debate the direction, the ending, the leadership and the mandate for such a Display Team but for those of you that have read to the end, you can find the real answers here.

It's the second volume of UFO: The Chrysalis Years out from EMI. Here's what they have to say for themselves:
This anthology kicks off with 1980's No Place To Run, now featuring the single edit "Young Blood", available on CD for the first time, as well as its live b-side "Hot 'N' Ready", recorded in concert at that year's Reading festival. Next up is a BBC gig recorded for Radio 1 on their 1980 No Place To Run UK tour. Featuring the classics "Out In The Street", "Cherry", "Only You Can Rock Me", "Love To Love", "Doctor Doctor", "Too Hot To Handle", "Lights Out" and "Rock Bottom", this is the first time the original broadcast has been released on CD in its entirety.
1981's The Wild, The Willing And The Innocent (UK No 19) kicks off with live favourite "Chains Chains", and includes the singles "Couldn't Get It Right" and the 7″ edit of "Lonely Heart", previously unreleased on CD. Back in the days when rock groups were expected to produce (at least) one LP a year, and UFO being no slouches, they produced Mechanix (UK No 8) in 1982, now featuring the otherwise unavailable b-side, "Heel Of A Stranger". 1983's Making Contact, the first album to be recorded without founder member and bassist Pete Way, now features the b-side "Everybody Knows", as well as the previously unreleased on CD – 7″ edit of single "When It's Time To Rock".
As UFO have now been touring and recording in excess of 40 years and 20 albums, announcing their "farewell" tour in 1983 may have been a little premature, but to commemorate this, a number of concerts were recorded on that tour, resulting in the 5 tracks taped at London's famed Hammersmith Odeon, and later released on Headstone. The "comeback" record, and their final LP for Chrysalis, Misdemeanor was released in 1986, and now features the non-album b-side "The Chase", as well as US Remix versions of "Night Run", "Heavens Gate" and "One Heart". The package is completed with liner notes written in conjunction with singer, songwriter and UFO mainstay Phil Mogg available on request), conducted whilst the band recorded their very latest album, which is due for release later in 2012.

Does lumber get damaged during shipping and storage?
Mold is a big problem for builders and homeowners, and it can start before the wood is delivered the job site. Basically, mold – which is a type of fungus with thousands of different species – requires moisture to flourish.
Fight mold with protected lumber
Severe weather, floods, leaks and substandard building practices can lead to mold growth in homes. In some cases, lumber stored outside may carry mold when it's used in the home. So a home could have mold inside the walls with no water leaks in the finished building.
Build modular homes with defensive building technology
Modular and systems built homes are becoming a bigger part of the residential landscape. They can range from the traditional house trailer to a million dollar pre-fab home site with a breathtaking view.
Eco Defensive Partner Certification Program Overview
When a homeowner is dissatisfied with the home it can often lead to expensive litigation and insurance claims. Builders want to deliver a product that delight their customers, so learning how to reduce the risk of mold and other problems can help builders do just that.
Fight wildfire season
As California, Colorado, Arizona and other western states approach the end of the 2014 wildfire season, higher fire risk looks to be a fact of life.
Build right with defensive building practices
Our homes need to be tougher. With severe weather events on the rise, including hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, wild fires and blizzards, homes can take a beating.

NEW DELHI—The Income Tax (IT) department is probing the personal finances of Novel Lavasa, former banker and wife of dissenting Election Commissioner Ashok Lavasa, News18 reported.
The IT department issued a notice to Novel Lavasa on Monday and it is pertaining to "her income as an independent director of multiple companies", the same report stated.
The notice was issued for her to "explain certain details in her IT returns (ITR) with regard to holding directorship in about 10 companies," PTI's report said. The IT department was probing charges of tax evasion and it wished to "ascertain if her income has escaped assessment in the past or something has been concealed from tax authorities", the report informed.
The former State Bank of India staffer, in a statement shared with HuffPost India, said she had "paid all taxes" due towards her and "disclosed all income earned by me from pension, and all other sources as per Income Tax law". There were multiple notices sent by the IT department, the first such notice was sent on August 5, and she had responded to all the notices, her statement informed.
During the Lok Sabha election 2019, Ashok Lavasa had briefly grabbed headlines after he opposed the Election Commission of India's (ECI) decisions to give clean chit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah on at least five occasions. In all these occasions, Modi and Shah were accused of violating the Model Code of Conduct during their election campaigns.
Lavasa not only dissented in the internal meetings of the ECI, but also insisted that his dissent be recorded in writing. "If decisions of the Election Commission are taken by majority and you do not include the minority view (in the final order) then what is the point of a minority view?" he had said in an interview to The Indian Express.
The background of Lavasa's past dissent, as well as the forthcoming state elections in Maharashtra and Haryana, make the action of the IT department a potential source for much controversy.
The background of Lavasa's past dissent as well as the forthcoming state elections in Maharashtra and Haryana make the action of the IT department a potential source for much controversy.
When HuffPost India reached out to the official spokesperson of the Central Board of Direct Taxes Surabhi Ahluwalia to understand the reason for the notices, she refused to share any information. When asked if Novel Lavasa was served notice and the reasons for that, Ahluwalia said she, "Neither confirms nor denies" that. She also said the law forbids her from discussing IT returns details of any specific taxpayer publicly.
In a written statement shared with HuffPost India, Novel Lavasa said, "It is stated that I have paid all taxes due towards me and disclosed all income earned by me from pension, and all other sources as per Income Tax law."
On the issue of directorships in various companies, her statement said, "It is clarified that having served as a Class 1 officer with the State Bank of India for 28 years, and having acquired vast experience in Banking and Development, I continue to be engaged in various professional activites, including as an Independent Director in a few companies." She closed her statement saying that she has responded to multiple IT notices received since 5 August 2019 and has been "cooperating with the ongoing process of the department".

I'm not sure it's technically upcycling, but I found some matching wooden coat hangers in Dave's wardrobe (thanks Dave!) and used my old pyrography pen to burn each bridesmaids' initial onto the hanger.

Europe Day celebrates peace and unity in Europe. This day marks the anniversary of the historical 'Schuman Declaration', an idea presented by the then French Foreign Minister Robery Schuman in 1950. It was an idea for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make war between European nations unthinkable. Schuman's vision was to create a European institution that would pool and manage coal and steel production. A treaty creating such a body was signed just under a year later. Schuman's proposal is considered to be the beginning of regionalism in Europe that is now known as the European Union.
This Europe Day High School Outreach aims to create awareness among the high school students in Malaysia about the European Union especially for those who are studying European languages in their school. This will indeed be an ideal avenue for the students to have a glimpse of Europe and to introduce students to information concerning tertiary education in Europe. An additional part of the program will be distributing a mini handbook to the students with some basic information about the European Union. Some comparison between the EU and ASEAN is also included.

The Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology atOregon Health and Sciences University hosted a talk this month entitled "Advancing Clinical and Translational Research through Biomedical Informatics."
After hearing these speakers, issues of data management and the usability of data management software, arose as a central theme. Each of the research teams represented (three in all), talked about the difficulty of data retrieval.
Robert Schuff of OCTRI discussed issues when tracking potential study subjects. His teams need to sort information on demographics as well as disease and are working on building a system to do just that.
Katrina Goddoard of the NW Biobank has an extensive bank of biological matter from surgeries available to researchers for testing, but locating the samples in the piles of specimens has proven daunting.
Dr. Shannon McWeeney also of OCTRI discussed the importance of translating the results of scientific discoveries into actual changes in patient practice.
Overall, it was apparent that medical research is moving at a rapid pace. Technology can help to track and sort data, but the systems we build to track and sort that data are critical to the analysis, understanding and eventual translation into practice. As researchers and designers, we need to get in at the forefront, initiating excellent data management and user friendly systems so that the research is always accessible.

Kraiburg TPE NPE
Kraiburg TPE will present its EPDM – Adhesion series. This series is targeted towards automotive exterior components as a material solution for applications requiring high UV and weather resistance and optimal adhesion to rubber. With the AD/EPDM/UV series, customers benefit from low processing temperatures that guarantee short cycle times and do not interfere with the flock coating process. Further advantages include long-term process stability and ideal initial adhesion, which is needed for the ejection of parts. When exposed to heat or UV radiation, the EPDM – Adhesion series compounds do not exhibit any oil bleed-out or stickiness, and provide impressive color stability. Typical applications include corner molding, doorsills, glass run channels and window encapsulations.
Kraiburg TPE's newly launched range the VS/AD/HM series offers silky, satin-smooth surfaces that feature high scratch and abrasion resistance, excellent durability and resistance against chemicals such as sebum oil, creams and common household detergents. The series is designed for consumer electronics applications.
The VS/AD/HM series has been specially developed for applications that require a silky and velvety surface, along with excellent adhesion to polar thermoplastic compounds such as PC, ABS, PC/ABS, PU, ASA, SAN, PA12 and PA6. Available in natural color and black, the compounds also have impressive processing properties. Example applications include controllers for games consoles, remote controls and headphones, toys, protective covers for mobile phones, tablets and cosmetics packaging.
Among other innovations, Kraiburg TPE will also showcase its FC/ht series. This series is the highly transparent material solution for applications such as seals in food packaging, tooth-brush handles, detergent pods and toys. The compounds are characterised by its excellent adhesion to PP as well as its high-flow processing behaviour. The series offers a smooth, non-sticky feel and because of its high transparency, it is also ideal for applications requiring custom pigmentation or vibrant colours.

Saint Paul, MN — Summit Brewing Company announces the release of the brewery's first-ever coffee beer, Dark Infusión: A Coffee Milk Stout, the twenty-third beer released in the limited edition Unchained Series. The beer will be released with a party at Summit Beer Hall in Saint Paul on Saturday, October 22, from 6-10 p.m. Dark Infusión will then be available on draught and in 4-packs of 16 oz. cans starting the last week of October.
For his first Unchained Series beer, brewer Pete Stacy crafted a sweet stout made even more complex and bold with the infusion of cold brewed coffee. For the coffee, Pete worked with Saint Paul's Blackeye Roasting Co to create a custom blend of Brazilian and Colombian varieties.
"The best part of brewing this beer was learning about the coffee industry first-hand: sourcing and importing beans from all over the world, analyzing for quality, and then blending coffee varieties to perfectly fit the profile of my sweet milk stout," said brewer Pete Stacy.
The Dark Infusión Release Party at Summit Beer Hall will include the release on tap as well as in cans. Blackeye Roasting Co will provide samples of their cold brew coffee for people to experience side-by-side with the beer.
Find a list of all Dark Infusión release parties and events at Summit's Happenings Page.

Unchained Series
Launched in 2009, the rotating Unchained Series gives Summit brewers the opportunity to explore their craft and brew a unique beer outside of the brewery's year-round portfolio. "We're fortunate to have eight phenomenal brewers at Summit," said Mark Stutrud, founder and president of Summit Brewing Company. "The Unchained Series is a way for our brewers to showcase their artistry. There are no budgetary restraints, no outside influences from a sales team, and the brewers are free to collect ingredients from anywhere in the world. As long as it's legal, they have complete autonomy."
Summit Brewing Company
Founded in Saint Paul, MN in 1986, Summit Brewing Company has stayed close to its roots, serving the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes regions. Summit's beers are currently available in 11 states. Summit now produces 14 varieties of premium craft beer, including seven year-round, four seasonal beers, and the limited release Unchained Series and 30th Anniversary Series.

|Title :
|A Novel Channel Estimation Method using Pilot Channel for Frequency Interleaved MC-CDMA Systems
|Authors :
|Youngbo Cho, Sangmin Ro, Hangyu Cho, Jaegu Lee and Daesik Hong
|Journal :
|IEEE Signal Processing Letters
|Abstract :
|In this letter, we propose a novel channel estimation method using two consecutive subcarriers (CE-TCS) that is based on pilot channel-based channel estimation (PCCE). The proposed CE-TCS alters the system structure in order to maintain orthogonality between data and pilot channels over two consecutive subcarriers. Contrary to conventional PCCE, this new CE-TCS can obtain both accurate channel state information and diversity gain in multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) system with chip interleaving (CI). Simulation results verify that the proposed method outperforms pilot tone-aided channel estimation (PTCE).

- The current health care reform proposals, if enacted, would result in the biggest expansion of abortion since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision imposed abortion on America in 1973.
- Washington D.C. bureaucrats and abortion industry lobbyists are trying to force YOU to pay for abortions through your tax dollars as part of their proposed trillion-dollar health care takeover -- even though recent polls show that 71% of Americans oppose taxpayer-funded abortion.
- This political power-grab is an effort to implement one of the cornerstones of the "Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA), and could lead to a massive taxpayer-subsidized abortion industry bailout – something that American families do not support and cannot afford in these tough economic times.
- Under the proposed health care takeover, virtually every American would be forced into a health plan that mandates abortion coverage; if the healthcare reform law does not clearly state that abortion is excluded, abortion automatically becomes a minimum required benefit.
It is imperative that our elected officials include language to explicitly exclude abortion from any health care reform proposal or bill. Our Representatives and Senators must keep abortion out of health care!
How you can make a difference:
1. Pray
2. E-mail and write letters to your representative and 2 senators at: www.StopTheAbortionMandate.com/email
3. Call the Washington office and the local office of your representative and 2 senators; instructions at: www.StopTheAbortionMandate.com/call
4. Spread the word! Distribute this flier to everyone you know and use Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail samples at: www.StopTheAbortionMandate.com/share
5. Write a Letter to the Editor of your local newspaper using samples at: www.StopTheAbortionMandate.com/editor

We could see the Dunes in the background. We had to have a closer look.
After all the eating and drinking, Luis and I needed to walk it off so, we headed to Sleeping Bear Dunes and took on "The Climb". Doesn't look too hard…
After lots of stopping to catch my breathe, I made it!
Much easier going down the dune.
A view of the top of the dunes we took while driving through the dunes scenic road.
After the showers we had in the morning, and the dark clouds we had throughout the day, we were given a pretty impressive view of Lake Michigan right before sunset.

Motion A21 at the 2019 conference of civil service union PCS dealt with the leadership's approach to trans rights. (See the motions document, p12.)
In 2017 and 2018 conference voted to support amendment of the Gender Recognition to facilitate self-identification; despite opposition from the NEC in 2017 these motions passed overwhelmingly.
This year A21 condemned and proposed censure of the NEC for its response and for General Secretary Mark Serwotka's unilateral signatory of a letter published in the Morning Star, alongside numerous vehemently trans-exclusionary individuals, suggesting that the problem was that debate around these issues was being prevented. The motion argued that this had damaged PCS's reputation among its members and in the wider trade union movement, in violation of a democratically decided policy.
The leadership once again attempted opposition, using familiar coded phrases such as "legitimate concerns" among women's groups. It was joined in this by more outright trans-exclusionary delegates who counterposed women to trans women. Once again our trans activists were in a position where they were forced to defend themselves and the democratically decided policy of the union by getting up to support the motion and address these points.
Luckily, as in previous years they were joined by allies from across the union, including Workers' Liberty and other PCS Independent Left supporters, dissident PCS Left Unity supporters and others. Despite leadership opposition the motion was passed overwhelmingly and the leadership rightfully censured. Hopefully we won't have to see a repeat of this next year.
