Casey Urges DOJ to Keep Philly Office Open to Protect Taxpayers and Consumers
Casey: Shuttering Philadelphia Antitrust Office Would Not Save Money and Would Leave Consumers Vulnerable
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) today urged the Department of Justice to reconsider a proposal to close the Philadelphia Antitrust Office. The Philadelphia office protects consumers and, to benefit taxpayers, has collected hundreds of millions of dollars through enforcement of antitrust laws.
"The Philadelphia Antitrust Office is a benefit for taxpayers and helps protect consumers in Pennsylvania and across the country," Senator Casey said. "Closing the Philadelphia office could not only harm taxpayers, it could also leave consumers more vulnerable to illegal business practices."
The Department of Justice recently announced plans to close four regional antitrust offices, including the Philadelphia office, for an estimated savings of $8 million. However, the Philadelphia office alone has collected hundreds of millions of dollars through antitrust enforcement. In a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Senator Casey urged the agency to consider the added costs of relocating the office, including the relocation of employees and higher locality pay.
The full text of Senator Casey's letter is below:
Dear Mr. Attorney General:
I am writing to express my deep concern with the proposed closure of the Philadelphia Antitrust Office. While I strongly support efforts to streamline operations and reduce unnecessary costs throughout the federal government, I believe that closure of the Philadelphia Antitrust Office could have a negative fiscal impact and adverse consequences for consumers. I respectfully ask you to reconsider your plan and explore alternative ways to reduce costs while ensuring strong enforcement of antitrust laws.
On October 5th, your Department announced its plan to close four regional Antitrust offices in Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, and Philadelphia, citing estimated savings of $8 million. However, the Philadelphia office alone has collected hundreds of millions of dollars in fines as a result of its enforcement of antitrust laws. That revenue more than offsets the minimal costs associated with running the Philadelphia office and should be considered in your calculations. In addition, the proposed relocation of operations and employees to New York, San Francisco, and Washington carries additional costs and, according to the Office of Personnel Management, also means higher locality pay.
I am also concerned that closure of the Philadelphia Antitrust Office has the potential to limit the Department's ability to pursue antitrust enforcement in the region. The Philadelphia Field Office has made Philadelphia a center for antitrust cases for decades, and its attorneys are known to be both experienced and trustworthy. This strong reputation leads more private attorneys to approach the office with criminal cases and ultimately leads to stronger antitrust enforcement.
I urge you to reconsider the planned consolidation of the Philadelphia Antitrust Office and undertake a comprehensive review of the impacts of these closures. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Robert P. Casey, Jr.
United States Senator

The Toronto Maple Leafs needed a near-perfect game to extend the series on the road against the Boston Bruins. Instead, they jumped out to a lead and then held on for dear life.
Mission accomplished, however, as the Maple Leafs forced a Game 6 back on home ice after a 4-3 victory over the Bruins.
Boston's fourth line came up with a couple of late tallies, but it was too little, too late, for the Bruins who were looking to wrap up the series on home-ice.
Using stretch and area passes, the Maple Leafs worked around the Bruins' early forecheck and grabbed themselves an early 2-0 lead.
Jake Gardiner used the boards to pass the puck from his own zone all the way to the Bruins' blue line, getting the puck to Zach Hyman, who later pushed the puck to Auston Matthews. Using his speed to get around the edge, Matthews attempted a wrap-around that bounced up in the air, with Connor Brown doing his best baseball impression to open up the scoring.
Kadri is back, and he was missed
For his actions in Game 1, Nazem Kadri has missed the last three games while being suspended. He made his presence known in his return.
After another great stretch pass from Gardiner, Kadri threw a beautiful pass right past a Bruins' defender and onto the stick of Andreas Johnsson, after going from his forehand to his backhand, scored his first career playoff goal, and gave Toronto a 2-0 lead.
One of the biggest factors in the Maple Leafs digging themselves into a 3-1 series deficit was the penalty kill, which has now allowed five goals while down a man and is operating at 64% this postseason. That's actually an improvement, as the Leafs held strong, despite allowing a David Backes power play marker, the Leafs only allowed one goal on five power-play opportunities.
Andersen puts doubts to rest
Despite killing each penalty late in the second period, a late goal by Sean Kuraly, which was set up by a great pass from Matt Grzelcyk, seemed to take most of the momentum into the third period. Boston outshot the Maple Leafs 20-5 in the third period, but Frederik Andersen stood strong to secure the win.
A major question mark throughout the series, Andersen stepped up and made 42 saves in the winning effort. Anton Khudobin stopped all seven shots he faced after coming in for Tuukka Rask.
Game 6 will be held on Monday, back in Toronto, with a 7 pm ET start time. Toronto needs a win to force winner-take-all Game 7 and whoever advances will face the Tampa Bay Lightning in the second round. Tampa Bay advanced Saturday night after defeating the New Jersey Devils in five games.
Can the Maple Leafs stay alive and force a Game 7, or was Game 5 enough of a wake-up call for Boston, who will look to close out the series? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

I posted this on another GM site was was told it might go down well here too. This is my totally-not-serious-but-OMG-if-it-were- true theory about the ending of How I Met Your Mother.
The shows happen in the same universe, and the zombie apocalypse happened shortly after Luke and Leia were born. Lily, Marshal, Robin and Barney are all long dead. Ted and his family have survived for years, bunkered down in the basement of their house, which Ted was able to restructure for ultimate comfort, security and survival in the early days of the apocalypse, as he is an architect.
During the early days, a kind of mass hysteria manifests amongst some survivors. As a way of dealing with the trauma of what's happening, they pretend that everything is normal and fine. We saw Michonne do this with her family in the apartment in the flashback in Season 4. Ted and the Mother go and have dinner at the hotel where they met, and it isn't until the Mother's throwaway "What kind of mother wouldn't be at her own daughter's wedding?" that the illusion shatters momentarily, and they look at each other and tears fill their eyes as realise that life will never be the same again.
Ted has survived this long because of the Mother, and his friends. (because let's face it, without extreme assistance Ted would last, like, five minutes in the zombie apocalypse.) But as the years go by, everyone else has died or vanished. All that's kept him going is his love for the Mother and his family, and his very Ted-like determination that not only should they all survive, but that life maintain an appearance of beauty and magic. And because he's Ted, he somehow managed to achieve this.
Right before the pilot, Ted and the Mother ventured into the city to forage for more supplies. They were attacked by a mob of zombies, and the Mother was bitten. She begged Ted to mercy-kill her, and spare her a lingering agonising death before her children's eyes, followed by existence as one of the undead hordes. They share one final kiss, and then Ted raises the sword (he still has one of the swords from his and Marshall's apartment).
Ted stumbles back to his home and down into the basement. He's haggard, smeared in gore, and his eyes are red-rimmed and staring. Luke and Leia stare at him, wide-eyed.
Luke: "Dad, where's Mo—"
Ted: "Sit down, kids."
Luke and Leia sit down, slowly and carefully. Ted sits down opposite them. A long, long silence.
Ted: "Kids, I'm going to tell you an incredible story - the story of how I met your mother."
And so it begins. Ted begins to talk. And talk and talk and talk. All the flash-forwards we've seen in the show are flights of fantasy arising from Ted's PTSD, in which he imagines a world and a life where the zombie apocalypse hasn't happened. As the story goes on, he fantasises a happy ending for everybody, from Marshall, Lily, Robin and Barney, right down to Robin's annoying workmate Patrice from years ago.
Luke and Leia know that this is all a fantasy. But they also know that letting their dad tell this story is important, because it's the only thing that is keeping him sane. Hopefully.

Flavorful Turkey Brine Recipes
Dry-Cured Roasted Turkey with Herb Butter
Cindy Daniel of Healdsburg Shed in Northern California rubs her turkey with salt 2 days before roasting to season it beautifully without the messiness of a brine. A flavorful herb butter adds juiciness. Daniel likes the free-range turkeys from Northern California BN Ranch (eatlikeitmatters.com). As for wine, she pours local Pinot Noirs from DuMol and Copain Trousseau and the dry Radio-Coteau Platt Riesling.
Roasted Beer-Brined Turkey with Onion Gravy and Bacon
Adding Guinness, or any dark beer, to the brine gives the turkey a toasty flavor and helps give the skin a dark brown color.
Dry Brined-Herb Roasted Turkey
Skip the cumbersome wet brines that call for soaking turkey and making the skin flabby. This classic overnight dry brine--a simple herb, salt, and sugar mixture--gives the turkey deep flavor and a crackly crust. Be adventurous and create your own signature dry brine using our sugar and salt ratios as a guide, or try one of our three variations below.
Basic Brine for Seafood, Poultry, and Pork
Brining is a technique that submerges food in a salt solution to prevent moisture loss during cooking, creating succulent, juicy bites. Use our Basic Brine for fish and shrimp, or for white meat, such as chicken, turkey, or pork chops.
How to Brine a Turkey
Brining a turkey before roasting it is one way to get a tender, moist and flavorful bird. Here are some steps for successful brining.
Foolproof Brined Turkey
Brining a turkey is well worth the day-ahead time investment. It removes all guesswork, producing an incredibly moist bird that's more forgiving of being slightly overcooked. If you can't find an organic turkey, look for a fresh one without "added solution."
Maple-Brined Turkey Breast with Mushroom Pan Gravy
Because you're starting with a boneless cut, the brining time is much shorter than if using a whole bird.
Spice-Brined Turkey with Cider Pan Gravy
You can use a double layer of turkey brining bags, then keep the bagged turkey in a stockpot in the refrigerator to guard against punctures. Garnish the turkey with fresh herbs and apples, if desired.
Dry-Brined-and-Marinated Smoked Turkey
Make Ahead: Dry-brine the turkey two days before Thanksgiving, and smoke it the next day. Cut the turkey into pieces (legs, breast, wings, etc.), and place in a zip-top plastic bag. Store in refrigerator. About an hour before dinner, place turkey pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet, and cover with aluminum foil. Warm in 300° oven until heated.
Honey and Thyme-Brined Turkey Breast
Even if you are only serving the turkey to a small group, it is great to have leftovers for sandwiches. Briefly boiling the thyme and black pepper in water extracts the flavor and helps infuse the brine. If the turkey starts to brown too fast, shield with aluminum foil. Serve with mashed red potatoes and roasted baby carrots.
Brined Maple Turkey with Cream Gravy
Brining makes for a juicier bird, and the subtle flavors of the brine soak into the turkey. Kosher salt works well for the brine because it dissolves more easily than table salt. If you have time and refrigerator space, the brining procedure is worthwhile. If not, the turkey will still be quite good.
Brined Turkey Breast with Cranberry Jus
Brining the turkey makes it juicy and flavorful; using a bone-in, skin-on breast keeps it moist during roasting. Don't brine the breast longer than 24 hours, or it will become too salty. If you're not ready to roast the breast, chill it, uncovered (for crisper skin), up to 1 day after step 2. The sweet-tart pan juices that go with this turkey were inspired by Faz Poursohi, chef and proprietor of the Faz restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Roasted Beer-Brined Turkey with Onion Gravy and Bacon
Adding Guinness, or any dark beer, to the brine gives the turkey a toasty flavor and helps give the skin a dark brown color.
Herb-Brined Creole Turkey
Apple Cider-Brined Turkey with Savory Herb Gravy
This turkey is a pleasure to offer on your table. It's incredibly moist and flavorful, and it received our highest Test Kitchens rating. Brining is an overnight process, so if you're using a frozen turkey, be sure to thaw it well in advance. Choose turkey-sized plastic oven bags for brining the turkey. Use two bags to prevent brine from leaking, and place the turkey in a large stockpot as another precaution. This recipe goes with Savory Herb Gravy.

A Police Scotland review of custody facilities found that cells in Stirling were not safe.
Force chiefs closed the cells last year after deciding it would cost too much to bring them up to operational standard.
Since then, suspects requiring to be held are taken to custody cells at Falkirk Police Office.
An analysis of the custody cells in Stirling was undertaken in August 2017 following a review of custody facilities across Scotland.
A Stirling councillor has hit out at the closure, describing it as "astonishing".
Superintendent Gregor Fitzcharles, from the Criminal Justice Services Division, said the cells at Stirling were no longer fit for purpose.
He believes the new set-up better reflects the needs of the division, and added: "Maintaining the safety of our staff and those in our custody is one of our top priorities and we simply cannot put anyone at risk by allowing them to work, or be held within these facilities.
"Reduced level of custodies across Forth Valley would not have justified retaining the Stirling custody suites, which would require significant investment, when the new Falkirk custody centre is within close proximity.
"The closure of the Stirling cells has allowed us to release officers back to front–line policing duties within the community, rather than resourcing a custody facility, which is no longer required."
Stirling East councillor Bryan Flannagan highlighted the cells closure at a recent meeting of Stirling Council. He said: "This is astonishing. Stirling does not have a single custody cell and yet there seems to be no concern expressed by the convener of the public safety committee. This means frontline police are having to travel greater distances to find cells for suspects and not where they are needed: patrolling Stirling's streets."
Convener of the public safety committee Maureen Bennison responded: "What's astonishing is Tory councillor Flannagan's line of questioning during a Public Safety meeting on matters that are well documented in the public domain.
"Nevertheless, I reaffirm that I have no concerns under the current set up.
"The facility available in Falkirk is an up-to-date facility, which is best equipped to process people in police custody, as well as taking responsibility for individual needs such as mental health provision.
"This goes beyond what was available in Stirling previously."
Last October, Police Scotland had been given the green light by the Scottish Police Authority to begin a three–month public engagement exercise on the possible closure of 53 of their 375 properties across the country, including the police offices at Bannockburn and Bridge of Allan. The review is continuing.

Global Radio appoints commercial chief
Global Radio has appointed Mike Gordon, former News Group Newspapers deputy managing director, as its commercial chief. The role was created as part of the radio operator's £375m merger with GCap Media.
Gordon, who left NGN earlier this year, will take over as group commercial director on December 1, reporting to incoming chief executive Stephen Miron, the former managing director of†Associated Newspapers-owned Mail on Sunday and Mail Online. Miron also starts on December 1.
The new position aims to bring together Global's national and local commercial teams under one single management structure. Gordon will oversee five agency sales teams, one client sales team and one interactive sales team.
He will take over from chief operating officer Don Thomson, who has been handling the role on a temporary basis. Global created the role as part of the merger of its sales structure, which is due to be complete by November 1. It is making about 80 people redundant as part of the changes.
Gordon joined News International in 2004 and held a variety of roles including commercial director of Times Newspapers and director of News Group Newspapers becoming becoming deputy managing director. Prior to that, he was managing director of Virtual Internet, an internet business solutions provider.
A number of industry figures had been linked to the role including Mark Chippendale, former News Group media director. Chippendale is thought to have held a number of discussions with the radio operator earlier this year. He left News Group Newspapers earlier this year and is a former colleague of Gordon (MW October 8).

This story by a contributing author reveals much about birth order and reminds me of how much raising children has changes from one generation to the next.
Inez McCollum
Our son, Joe, did not have the middle child syndrome, even though he was the middle child. He was too busy every minute of the day to let that worry him. He was the one who suffered through some pretty gory accidents while growing up. I have often said my husband and I would have been arrested had all the hospital ER occurrences been as accessible as they are now.
We moved into our home shortly before our third son was born. There were so many things for a little boy to explore. One day, I heard the lawn mower start. I couldn't even do that! As I ran to the basement to find out what was going on, Joe met me and said: "That's O.K. Mommy, I stopped it!"
As a toddler, Joe and his younger brother, who was car seat age, were waiting in my car as I stopped to check on a friend who was ill. We didn't have the secure seats young ones have now. I was standing on the lady's porch when I heard the gear shift click. Joe had taken the car out of gear and the vehicle began rolling backward, crossed the street and stopped against a tree.
As a three or four year old, he took his pedal car to the top of our across the street neighbor's drive way and began rolling down the drive only he didn't stop there. That little car and driver rolled across the street and down our driveway, across the back yard and flipped in a drainage ditch at the back of our property. Our oldest son ran into the house and told me what had happened and added that Joe was lying in the ditch, not moving. As I ran out to check on him, he came around the house, pale, but in one piece. I guess that was preparing him to play football in the future!
Recently we were eating in a Chinese Food Restaurant and I observed Joe eating with chopsticks. This reminded me of one of his accidents. He decided to eat a bowl of cereal while sitting in the den. That doesn't sound bad; but he was using chopsticks. As he dropped one of the chopsticks and bent over to retrieve it, the other made contact with his knee and injured the soft pallet in his mouth. That was really frightening; but Joe survived and still likes to use chopsticks.
Today, Joe and I shared some of his experiences with his two teen age daughters. These two young ladies are very feminine and none of those kinds of incidents has ever happened to them. One of them would like to be the mother of a female child someday. The other dreams of two daughters and a son. At least the latter hasn't dismissed the thought of raising a potential "Joe"!
Motherhood is very special and I would not wish either of my three sons was a different personality. God has been good and we made it through all the growth stages of those little boys.

This is a Rothmans-backed Porsche 911 at the '86 Circuit of Ireland rally. The car was quick on the all-tarmac event, but easy to handle it was not. Just watch to the end of this video and you'll see what I mean.
Old Porsches aren't exactly what you would call intuitive driving tools. I guess you could say this is just a little example of it.

"Bach in the Subways" is an international celebration of the great composer's March birthday. The Trinity Choir's contribution to this worldwide party will be Bach's dazzling motet: Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden, along with his "Come, sweet death," in a particularly haunting setting, made more so by each individual singer rendering his/her part at different times, creating an ethereal, other-worldly effect. The motet will be accompanied by cello, bass and keyboard.The concert will last less than 20 minutes, is FREE, and open to everyone. All musicians donate their services for Bach in the Subways events. Join us to cheer on your Trinity Choir!

Is there any recommendation for Kaiseki experience in Kyoto?
Last updated
Answers 2
I think "Hatori" in the east of Gojo Kawabata has a high cost performance for Kaiseki cousin. I have been there several times, but dishes using ingredients according to the season were very good.
I recommend "Shoraian" in Arashiyama.
It's a hidden restaurant in the mountain and the atmosphere is classical and awesome.
Of course their dishes are very nice too.
Better to make a reservation.

If you've been in an accident, had a fall at work, or are dealing with any other sort of personal injury situation, you may be trying to figure out what your next steps should be. How can you be sure that you are going to be able to work out your case and get the resources that are necessary in order to actually get past the difficult parts of your recovery?
Your Case is Harder to Prove the Longer You Wait
There are a lot of issues that come up in personal injury cases, but your case is always going to be harder to prove the longer you wait. Not only does it make what is going on seem suspicious, but it also makes it that much more difficult to prove that the injuries that you had are severe enough to require the amount of money you're seeking. You'll be in the process of healing and may be further along. So, it's necessary to call a personal injury lawyer as soon as you're well enough to do so in order to not miss out on the opportunities that you need.
If You Wait, You May Not Be Able to Reach a Settlement
Many times, a company will be a lot less willing to go through with a settlement if you waited too long to even start the process of suing them. Or, they will offer you a much lower settlement because they feel like they'll be able to force you into it due to how much time that you waited. By getting on it immediately, you can start the process of putting that pressure onto the company in question, which may force their hand into a higher settlement as a result.
It Can Cause More Stress for You
People wait to call a personal injury attorney because they genuinely believe that they will get whatever it is that they feel they should get for their case – but that couldn't be any further from what usually happens. Instead, insurance companies try to pay the absolute minimum, hoping that people will just take it and pay whatever the difference is out of pocket. Don't let that happen. By contacting a personal injury attorney from the start, you can reduce the stress that you would feel while waiting and that can help make the healing process go a little bit easier than it may have otherwise.


text: Caspase-7 was regarded as redundant with caspase-3 because these related cystein proteases share an optimal peptide recognition sequence and have several endogenous protein substrates in common. Moreover caspase-7 activation requires caspase-1 inflammasomes under inflammatory conditions while caspase-3 digesting proceeds individually of caspase-1. Finally caspase-7 lacking mice are resistant to endotoxemia whereas caspase-3 knockout mice are vulnerable. These findings claim that particularly interfering with caspase-7 activation may keep therapeutic worth for the treating tumor and inflammatory health conditions. (Denault and Salvesen 2003 However the prodomain adversely impacts caspase-7 PTK787 2HCl enzymatic activity in cells even though the mechanism continues to be unclear.

Caspase-7 in apoptosis Two 3rd party apoptotic signaling cascades are generally recognized: PTK787 2HCl the extrinsic and intrinsic pathway. The extrinsic pathway can be often activated by binding of extracellular loss of life receptor ligands such as for example Fas ligand (FasL) and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (Path) with their particular transmembrane receptors. The loss of life signal can be transmitted towards the cytosol by receptor clustering that leads to recruitment and activation of caspase-8 and -10 (Shape 1). Alternatively DNA harm induced by UV irradiation and chemotherapeutic medicines triggers the discharge of mitochondrial cytochrome in to the cytosol where in fact the second option associates using the adaptor proteins Apaf-1 to create the 'apoptosome'. This PTK787 2HCl huge (<700 kDa) proteins complicated mediates activation of caspase-9 (Shape 1). Once triggered caspases-8 -9 and -10 procedure the executioner caspases-3 and -7. Mature caspases-3 and -7 PTK787 2HCl cleave a big group of substrates eventually leading to the quality morphological and biochemical hallmarks of apoptosis such as for example phosphatidylserine publicity nuclear condensation and genomic DNA fragmentation. The era of mice missing caspase-3 (Leonard et al. 2002 caspase-7 or both caspase-3 PTK787 2HCl and -7 (Lakhani et al. 2006 offers contributed to your knowledge of the physiological tasks of the caspases significantly. Oddly enough C57BL/6 mice deficient for both caspase-3 and -7 perish shortly after delivery while mice missing only caspase-3 or -7 have a normal life span and display a limited apoptotic phenotype in this genetic background (Lakhani et al. 2006 Leonard et al. 2002 This points to the functional redundancy between caspase-3 and -7 during embryogenesis. However several observations suggest that this overlap is not complete and that caspase-3 and -7 also fulfill non-redundant roles in apoptosis. For instance eye lenses of caspase-7 knockout mice are grossly normal whereas those of caspase-3 deficient mice display marked cataracts at the anterior lens pole (Zandy et al. 2005 Further support for this notion stems from biochemical studies demonstrating that caspase-3 and -7 exhibit differential activities toward multiple protein substrates with caspase-7 being more selective (Slee et al. 2001 Walsh et al. IGLL1 antibody 2008 Nevertheless certain substrates such as cochaperone p23 are more prone to proteolytic processing by caspase-7 than caspase-3 (Walsh et al. 2008 These differential cleavage activities may underlie the interesting observation that mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) lacking caspase-3 or caspase-7 behave distinctly during ultraviolet (UV)- and FasL-induced apoptosis. Caspase-7?/? MEFs are more resistant to FasL- and UV-induced apoptosis than caspase 3?/? MEFs although double knockout MEFs are even more resistant (Lakhani et al. 2006 Nevertheless it is caspase-3 and not caspase-7 that is essential for the appearance of certain characteristic apoptotic features such as DNA fragmentation and PARP-1 cleavage under these conditions (Lakhani et al. 2006 These observations demonstrate that caspase-3 and -7 have overlapping but also distinct roles in apoptosis. However it should be noted that the importance of caspase-3 and -7 in apoptosis.

There are no jokes or clever references that can adequately set this up so here goes: The Killers played a show in Swansea, Wales over the weekend and it was somewhat sabotaged by people peeing everywhere. According to Wales Online, the band's set at Liberty Stadium had no toilets available for fans on the ground-level general admission area. This resulted in concertgoers needing to leave the stadium to go to the washroom in porta-potties. This did not go well, according to tweets by annoyed fans that paint a picture of piss-covered chaos:
The report tells stories of 45-minute-long lines for the porta-potties driving some fans to pee on a fence in desperation. "People were urinating everywhere," a fan told Wales Online, while another said that "I missed the first three songs because I was queuing for an hour to use the loo. A lot of the women in the queue were furious, saying they had basically spent £65 for a wee!" This fellow below even went to a nearby KFC for relief:
Despite this, the show was apparently a success for the most part, proving that even less-than-ideal washroom conditions can't dull the impact of "Mr. Brightside." Read the rest of the harrowing accounts here.

A MONTY Python nut has set up a completely different kind of dating group for fans of the Life Of Brian comedians.
John Wood — crowned Britain's biggest Python fan — launched the Facebook page after his marriage ended over his obsession with the comics.
The 53-year-old hopes the decision by surviving cast members to reform will help him and others find love.
Office worker John, who has seen Python's musical Spamalot 13 times and has tickets for two performances of the comeback shows, said: "With the recent news, fans are coming out of the woodwork.
"It is funny how Python fans have never been catered for in the dating department, despite the fact that being a Python fan is such a major personality trait.
"It is possible that someone out there is available who likes me and wants to spend the rest of their life with me. I am a very eligible single man.
"I am looking for someone who sees the world as I do and a Monty Python fan would do just that, I hope this group works."
Fanatical John, of East Grinstead, West Sussex, was crowned Britain's biggest Python fan by the British Film Institute in 2012 after dedicating 44 years of his life to the wacky comedy.
Actors John Cleese, 74, Terry Gilliam, 72, Terry Jones, 71, Eric Idle, 70 and Michael Palin, 70, have delighted their fans by agreeing to get back together.
John added: "People are very passionate about it so I decided to start a Facebook group to see if there were other single people out there like me.
"It seems there are and it is going from strength to strength."

Inspire Lecture: How Meningitis Changed My Life- Dr Steve Dayman MBE - Thursday 16th January 2020
Reading School is delighted to welcome Dr Steve Dayman MBE, executive founder of Meningitis Now, the country's leading charity for Meningitis, to talk about his experience fighting back against the disease.
Steve and his wife Gloria began their relentless crusade to eradicate meningitis after witnessing their 14-month-old son Spencer succumb to the disease in 1982. After Spencer's passing, Steve and his wife started campaigning with a few friends. It was not until the 'Stroud meningitis outbreak' in the mid-1980s that Steve and Gloria met others touched by the disease.
Despite the fact that experts could not see any vaccines for meningitis, Steve started studying the disease, eventually receiving a honorary degree and doctorate, an MBE from the University of Bristol for services to medicine and picked up a special recognition Pride of Britain Award.
Steve brought meningitis to a national audience in 1986, appearing on BBC Breakfast Time TV. In the late-1990s, Steve decided to dramatically change his crusade towards funding vaccine research. Since then, he has raised millions of pounds towards preventative research including funding a £800,000 state-of-the-art research laboratory at the University of Bristol.
In 2002, The Spencer Dayman Meningitis Laboratories officially opened which now houses a £2.5 million research investment. Today, vaccines can combat many strains of the disease and are now available free on the NHS. Steve continues to spread awareness throughout the UK, meeting and inspiring thousands of families who have experienced similar tragedies.
To hear more about Steve's journey with Meningitis, come to his lecture on Thursday 16th January 2020 in the Lecture Theatre at 15:30.

A special thank you to Charity Prefect Ben Coneybeare for helping to organise this lecture with the Society Office.

WASHINGTON — Excitement has erupted among military veterans after President Trump's latest move to nominate Dinosaur Puppet as the new Secretary of Veterans Affairs, sources confirmed today.
Dinosaur Puppet, or Chompy as he prefers to be called, made headlines earlier this month after his participation in an Air National Guard reenlistment ceremony sparked a viral social media outpouring of exuberant commentary, no doubt because of Chompy's disciplined poise and magnetic charm.
"Look, there are multiple factors making Chompy the perfect candidate," said Army Lt. Col. Eric Hathaway, a self-identified 'thinker' and Command and General Staff instructor. "He's already got a track record for connecting with veterans, and his unique physiology allows him to clamp down on claim forms and vigorously shake 'em to shreds."
He added: "You can't find anyone, man or puppet, more suitable to maintain these lofty expectations which have historically been associated with a VA Secretary."
The President's new pick comes on the heels of Navy Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson announcing his withdrawal from the original nomination after numerous reports that, like most navy admirals, Ronny was a skeezy drunk who loved passing around controlled substances to anyone ready to party.
"I mean, c'mon," said Army Maj. Nick Fiore, an armor officer who loves pretending his tanks are a squadron of prehistoric lizard-beasts at his disposal. "T-Rex was known as the king of all dinosaurs. You don't get that kind of title unless you're a complete badass. Chompy's got my vote!"
Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, at least one flag officer isn't a fan.
"This is an absolute outrage," said Maj. Gen. Terry Haston, in a call with reporters from his private booth at a nearby Golden Corral. "Chompy's nomination will piss off a bunch of people," said Haston in between shoveling dinner rolls down his sweaty gullet, "and the VA isn't equipped to handle the volume of butthurt comments that'll hit their social media pages."
Aside from the opinions of one Tennessee Guard General on the Army Body Composition Program, Chompy's popularity transcends beyond the service and reaches the stars. Rapper and music icon Kanye West, for example, recently came out in support President Trump's pick, tweeting, "Humans were in charge of the VA for years and nothing changed."
At press time, Chompy was unavailable for comment, and all messages and correspondence went unanswered, much in keeping with the time honored traditions of the VA.

Penne Cole's thoughts on food, travel and more
What do you get when you combine a Thai grocery store and a cafe? Awesome Thai-inspired deliciousness in the form of Boon Cafe and Jarern Chai.
Boon Cafe and Jarern Chai are part of the Chat Thai group of restaurants. What makes it different from its famous sister? Fusion food for breakfast and lunch (think baked eggs with smoked fish sausage for breakfast and spicy Thai fillings for your lunchtime sandwich), with emphasis on healthy food (cold pressed juices, brown rice bowls, etc.). And of course, traditional Isaan (northern Thai) food for dinner.
Shortlisted as one of four finalists for the Sydney Morning Herald's best cheap eats guide for 2017, Boon Cafe has been on my must-visit cheap eats hit list for some time. I'd stopped by once before to check out the Jarern Chai grocery store – I was on the lookout for fresh durian, and the shop does not disappoint! – but at the time, I wasn't aware of the awesome food they served, to my great regret.
We arrive before the lunchtime rush and are seated immediately. The menu is scattered with mouthwatering pictures of exotically named foods, including kai gatah (baked eggs with smoked fish sausage and other goodies), and som dtum gai todt (fried chicken with papaya salad sandwich). There were so many delicious-looking options that it took us an unusually long time to decide.
The Good Food Guide top pick is the dtum pha, a green papaya salad with pickled field crabs, fermented fish, snail and other delicacies. My stomach wasn't quite up to that challenge, so I settled for the nahm prik ong (spicy pork mince, tomato relish, herbs, cucumber and pickled salad) brown rice bowl instead. It was very refreshing with all the herbs and vegetables, and the pork crackling gave it a delightful crunch, but I would have liked to see a little more of the spicy pork mince.
Our next pick was the khao dtom sen (fresh rice noodles with pork short ribs and clear pork broth). It arrives in two bowls, reminiscent of pho, with the vegetables separate (add them to the hot broth to blanch as you eat). The waitress warns us that the accompanying chilli sauce is very spicy and while it doesn't blow my socks off, it certainly doesn't cater to the typical Western palette. The broth is clear and light and just what the doctor ordered to ward off a cold. The ribs are so tender they melt in my mouth. Overall, a great light meal and reasonably priced ar $13.
We finished with sweets – the pandan custard toast is deliciously decadent although not too sweet. There's so much of it piled on the toast that the bread is almost instantly soggy, but at $4 a serve, this is cheap eats indeed.
Drinks are also a big thing at Boon Cafe, and we choose their fresh cold pressed juice ($6) with a shot of turmeric to share (+$2). We taste notes of cucumber, lime and mint, with just a hint of turmeric. Really nice and refreshing.
The verdict? Great fusion food, with a heavy Thai twist. Definitely looking forward to more, and with breakfast, lunch and dinner on offer, there's always something new to try. I'll also be back for the pre-packaged take home meals!

Top B2B websites are playing a key role to serve businesses with desired growth.
In this modern era, the advancement in digital technology has entirely changed the scope of businesses, as well as the districts of financing all across the world. The buying and selling process has taken a new shape. The customer no longer buys in the same manner, and the companies sell their products in a completely different way. With an increase in the competition amongst the marketers all over the world, the supply and demand of the consumers are changing rapidly. What customers wanted ten years before, is completely the opposite now. In this shifting paradigm, Top B2B platforms are playing a key role to serve businesses with desired growth.
With an aggregating demand of the buyers in the market, businesses have to go an extra mile to meet ends and expectations of their customers. This task, however, has been made much easier due to innovations in technology and online marketing strategies. Every time a customer desires to buy a specific product or service, there is be a company willing to sell their products to the customer. However, in the B2B market, there is a relationship between two business organizations; that goes far beyond the consumers or end-customers.
To make processes more effective, the B2B company list use various platforms to reach to their potential customers. Whether its social media, B2B websites or any other digital marketing platform, businesses are making use of technology to transform purchases, connect with B2B buyers and network their services to the other end of the world.
Let us examine these top B2B websites of the world. For instance, a company in the United States is willing to purchase industrial machinery for it's newly setup plant in Virginia. They are aware of the fact that industrial pieces of equipment are not easily available and cost-friendly. Therefore, instead of local markets, they try to buy their resources from an international market and visit B2B websites to get more information about their product. Whatever portal they visit, will locate complete details about industrial machinery importers and exporters globally, and further information of the product and its purchasing options for import in the United States.
Also, in the same manner, the suppliers also chalk out their potential buyers and approach them to sell their goods and services to them. Even though the fashion of B2B buying and selling is not a unique thing, but the change in technology has changed the way it works.
In addition to that, the unique feature of digital trading and branding has grabbed the position of conventional outreach methods to get in contact with the potential sellers and buyers. The traders can import or export their goods efficiently without the need of traveling to other countries.
Take a look at some of the top B2B platforms across the world:

In 2013, Alibaba attained revenues up to $7.5 billion with nearly 22,000 employees as of March 2014.

Alien Sightings That Will Leave You Amazed
Naomi Sarah
Feb 28, 2020
Alien sightings are a common phenomenon, where many claim to have been abducted by aliens. Let's take a look at how many sightings were recorded over the years.
It all started with the unidentified object that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico that spurred on talks about a UFO crash landing in the month of June or July 1947. It was said that extra-terrestrial materials were recovered, including the bodies of aliens.
The US military at the time, came forward to cover up the incident, stating that it belonged to an experiment by the military of a surveillance balloon, that came under the classified program named 'Mogul'.
Furthermore, 'Area 51', which is a name CIA officials tagged the US military base as, is where top secret operations take place in Nevada, on the southern shore of Groom lake. UFO-like aircraft that look a little too hi-tech are developed and tested by them, before they're sanctioned by the US Air Force or CIA to be used in a normal air force base.
It has been rumored to reek of conspiracy theories, like examining and storing alien spaceships, and conducting experiments on aliens dead/alive, with materials and bodies recovered from the supposed Roswell crash and developing technology related to teleportation, time travel and even altering weather.
The 'Majestic 12' organization which is a code name given to a secret gathering of scientists, government officials and military personnel, was formed around 1947 by then President, Harry S. Truman.
It is said that they come together to discuss alien sightings and cover up these incidents, and further investigate them. The FBI though has concluded that all documents related to the Majestic 12, are inaccurate and falsified.
UFO Sightings In 2010-2011
Information and so-called proof of alien life, started an era of everyone going deeper into theories that circled around how we were not alone and that there was intelligent life out there, that superseded human's own intellectual capacities.
From 'The X-files' to the 'Roswell' series and even movies making it big on alien based storyboards, everyone's got the alien situation hyped up, and it hasn't died down even today. Maybe these sightings are UFOs and not military aircraft, or maybe it's vice verse? Is there any proof that aliens are real? Let us explore some Alien sightings.
• San Gennaro Vesuviano, Naples - Italy (22nd Aug, 2010):
A fireball in the sky, which moved from left to right, then almost immediately became pinpoint-like in size, and then disappeared.
• Pretoria, South Africa (21st Aug, 2010):

• Japan (pacific coast of Tohoku) (Prior to 1st March, 2011):
UFOs had been spotted days before Japan underwent the catastrophic earthquake (11th March, 2011) and at the time when the tsunami waves. Videos and pictures of the same were taken in order to prove the sightings, where China reported these through its government news agency, Xinhua.
• Lee's Summit, Missouri (US) (16th May, 2011):
20 witnesses claim that when an orb like object appeared in the sky, sporting colors of green, red and blue in continuous bursting blinks. It was the quintessential UFO shape, being disc-like and metallic in nature, which later split into tiny orbs of about 6 according to a majority of witnesses from the 20.
• Almata, Kazakhstan (June 21st, 2011):
The video by a witness and a reporter shows that the UFO sits hovering above a certain distance atop a building and then later above trees, although it doesn't make a move to dart out of sight. Several sightings have been seen in Kazakhstan as of late, with this one being the most recent thus far.
• Oslo, Norway (13th August, 2011):
Witnesses claim to have seen around 21 objects in the sky, with no report on any aircraft passing, be it military or civilian. The objects had bright flashing lights, and didn't give out any sounds when passing overhead. The video captured during the time was taken around the early hours of that evening before sunset.
• East Coast(2015):
A viral declassified video showed two Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet pilots in complete awe of a mysterious object that had an unparalleled speed and no visible exhaust plume trailing the aircraft.
We have different adaptations of what aliens look like, with the common oval face and two big black abysses for eyes, not to mention the scrawny body and translucent skin. If you've seen any alien sightings, we hope you're lucky enough to get it on video or still frame, to have evidence of your own to prove that we are most definitely, not alone.
