MH370: The third and final round.
Welcome back. Here's the rest of the story and I'm sticking to it.
My initial theory had the captain temporarily handing over the flying duties to his F/O sometime between the level off check and the hand off point from Malaysian ATC to Viet Nam ATC. It involved the Captain leaving his seat for a few minutes under the pretext of retrieving some item from his personal luggage stored in the aft spaces of the flight deck. In the dark behind his first officer, he then reached up and pulled the ACARS* circuit breaker. This would’ve triggered a warning followed by a call for a circuit breaker reset procedure and the cancellation of the warning. The Captain, still in place, would’ve then pulled it again. The second time any re-set circuit breaker pops, it is to be left alone for fear of fire etc. So with some slight-of-hand, the Captain surreptitiously disabled the first of several communications systems before returning to his seat and assuming control of the aircraft again. This could be done easily in the B-767—I know exactly where that circuit breaker is—and assumed, incorrectly, that it would be in a similar location in the B-777. After some digging, I discovered that on the B-777 the ACARS could not be shut off from the flight deck, only from the electronics bay located below the floor with the access hatch under the carpet in the forward galley. This made the timing and required actions of the captain nearly impossible and very nearly blew my theory right out of the water.
But I have discovered (with help from AC B-777 instructor Captain Owen Stewart) that the ACARS system cannot be switched off but it can be disabled on the B-777 without leaving the flight deck. Right at the handoff point between Malaysian and Vietnam ATC, the drama begins. Here’s my possible re-creation and it is actually very simple. I recall a BA (British Airways) captain stating that if there ever was a time to steal an airplane, it would be at the international boundary ATC handoff point between two countries.
*ACARS stands for Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System. It is a fully automatic data linked message sent back to the airline operations control with a set of captured flight and engine performance data. The pilots are not involved in these regular automatic transmissions.
1. 1:07 am: Last received ACARS transmission.
2. 1:19 am: Last verbal communication. “All right, good night” from the aircraft; believed to be the co-pilot (F/O).
3. 1:21 am: Transponder stopped transmitting (turned off or failed).
4. 1:30 am: Civilian (primary) radar lost contact.
5. 1:37 am: Expected ACARS transmission; not received.
6. 2:15 am: Last military primary radar contact.
7. 8:11 am: Last (hourly) satellite handshake.
The points of interest from the timeline above are numbers 1, 2 and 5.
Points 1 and 5 indicate that the ACARS transmits once every thirty minutes. Point 2 shows the last VHF radio transmission occurring eighteen minutes before the next scheduled ACARS transmission.
The hand-off transmission to MH370 is made from Malaysian ATC, giving the crew the new Vietnam Control VHF frequency. The F/O reads it back, Malaysia confirms that it is correct, and the F/O says, “All right, good night,” to the controller. It’s only a courtesy, common on the radio in the air, nothing sinister about it, and it indicates quite clearly that all was well on the flight deck. While the F/O has his head down dialing up the assigned Vietnam control frequency on his radio, he is interrupted by his captain: “Hang on a minute. Could you do me a favour? I’ve got the radios. I’ll check in with Vietnam for you. Take a break. Go back, stretch your legs for a few minutes, flirt with that beauty in the biz class galley, grab us a couple of coffees and a copy of the Malay Times. I like their sudokus and I take my coffee black.” Or whatever chore the captain could think of! The F/O leaves his seat to complete his captain’s errand and the flight deck door closes and locks solid as he exits. The captain is now in complete and sole control of the aircraft and all her systems. From here, it’s a simple matter of either disabling the electronic emergency flight deck entrance system by pulling the appropriate circuit breaker or physically dead-bolting the door. Or both. Either way, no one can enter without a cutting torch—rather scarce gear at the time—and the captain is free to put the rest of his plan in play at his leisure.
First, he turns off the transponder (timeline point 3, just two minutes after the F/O’s transmission) and kills all the aircraft running lights, anti-collision lights, and strobes. Now he’s virtually invisible to both radar and other aircraft.
Second, he turns off all his radios—VHF, HF and SATCOM—as he had nothing further to say to anyone. This act disables the ACARS by denying it the required transmission devices. The anticipated transmission at point 5 above never occurred.
Third, he activates a stored secondary flight plan in the flight management computer (FMC) that he had previously programmed, perhaps from memory, while on the ground in KL. We used to mess with the secondary flight plan feature all the time, even while in flight. You know—important stuff like how many miles it is from Katmandu to Grandma’s house. But mostly we used it to program the route to our alternate airport to cut the workload should a diversion from our destination become necessary. As long as the primary flight plan was active, nothing would happen unless and until you selected and activated the secondary stored flight plan, at which time the autopilot would begin to follow this new flight routing. This, I believe, is when the sharp turns to headings to the west, the southwest, and the south began. I speculate that the routing had something to do with getting away from civilian ATC radar as fast as possible. But I’m guessing, of course.
Fourth, he allegedly climbs to 45,000 feet (FL450). This is debatable, as it was both unnecessary and most likely well above the maximum ceiling of the B-777 at that weight so early in the flight. Perhaps he believed that climbing to such an altitude would make it even more difficult for civilian or military ATC radar to spot him. Passenger mobile phones would also be useless and I have since learned why: cell phone towers are not aimed skyward but angled toward the ground because—wait for it—that’s where the phones are. Quite possibly, no passengers knew of any trouble at that time and had no obvious reasons to call regardless.
Fifth, he reaches up to the cabin pressure controller sub-panel just above his head and starts dumping cabin pressure, rapidly raising the cabin altitude to well above normal.
Sixth, he puts on his own flight deck oxygen mask.
As the cabin altitude climbed above 10,000 feet pressure altitude, the passenger masks would have automatically deployed. These supply just ten to fifteen minutes of oxygen to the passengers, just enough time to allow the flight crew to don their own masks, declare an emergency, and steeply descend to an altitude where it is safe to breathe without them. This descent to safety was never intended and never happened. After twenty or thirty minutes at a pressure altitude of, say, 30,000 feet, it can be assumed that the F/O, flight attendants and passengers, if not already unconscious or incapacitated, were struggling for their lives, using whatever oxygen, portable or otherwise, was available. The passenger oxygen would’ve run out by then. Regardless, the passenger cabin would’ve been chaos until the inevitable. Pleadings by the F/O to be allowed entry to the flight deck were ignored. (Author’s note: As were the dreadful recorded pleadings of the German Wings captain through the flight deck door to his own F/O as that aircraft descended to its doom in the Alps.) Most would finally just go to sleep and succumb to hypoxia even as they tried to contact the captain. He was in no hurry. He had all the oxygen he needed.
As an aside, the time of useful consciousness (TUC) for an average human at a pressure altitude of 35,000 feet is thirty to forty seconds .(The term is time of USEFUL consciousness—you’re still conscious, but you are losing your faculties VERY quickly. You are breathing but the air is NOT entering your bloodstream at that altitude. The next sentence is absolutely correct. After forty-five minutes, most, if not all, on board would be dead.
The seventh and final act: This is where the captain’s basement simulator may have been useful, even though he didn’t really need it. He only needed the B-777 performance charts and the location of the deepest, most remote part of the South Indian Ocean. We’ll never know either way.
When the captain was sure that all were dead or otherwise incapable of any interference, he sets his autopilot to do his bidding. He knew how much fuel he had on board and he knew the location where he wanted the flight to end. So he simply created a way-point using the latitude and longitude of his target, entered it into the FMC, made it the “go to” waypoint (it may have already been pre-loaded) and selected “NAV” on his glare-shield control panel. The autopilot would now take the aircraft directly toward his target. Or he could’ve used “Heading Select.” Setting an aircraft heading of 180 degrees true will point you straight at the world’s geographic South Pole, no matter where you are.
But how could he plan the impact point? This is where the performance charts come in. At a given speed, altitude, and temperature, the aircraft will burn “x” pounds of fuel per hour per engine, which increases if the aircraft is flown at a lower altitude and/or at a higher Mach number. He makes his target the “tanks run dry here” point and works backward. He calculates that, at a certain altitude and speed/power setting, the fuel he has remaining will be exhausted roughly over his target. So he simply sets the desired altitude in the altitude select window, the speed in his speed select window, the rate of descent to the selected altitude, and hands it all to the autopilot. When satisfied that the autopilot is doing as ordered, the captain removes his own mask (or perhaps takes a suicide pill of some kind), and goes to sleep. The aircraft dutifully descends to the chosen altitude (low twenties perhaps?) and flies for hours into the southern reaches of the Indian Ocean at the selected speed, burning up the remaining fuel with no one on board alive.
On the B-777, the cockpit voice recorder is a two-hour self-erasing loop. If ever found, and with recoverable data, the investigators would most likely listen to two hours of engine and flight deck air noise and nothing else. The flight data recorder would be equally useless, revealing only that the aircraft performed beautifully and exactly as programmed until fuel exhaustion and impact.
Many believed that huge pieces would be recovered. How can such a large bit of machinery disappear so completely? I asked myself the same question (similar to when we heard “The towers are gone!” in the van in Denver on 9/11), but it’s easier to imagine the disappearance when one pictures a near vertical B-777 hitting the ocean doing somewhere between 400 and 500 knots. The aircraft would very nearly vapourize from the astronomical impact forces.
Many also believe that when an airplane in level flight runs out of fuel, it will just glide down gracefully and pancake onto the surface. This might happen for airplanes not in autopilot “altitude hold” mode. For an aircraft flying in this mode though, it’s a different story. When the fuel is exhausted, the engines stop—first one, then the other (they never stop at the same time). As long as the electrical and hydraulic power lasts, the autopilot will keep doing what it has been asked to do for as long as it can do it. Even with the temporary asymmetric thrust problem, the autopilot will try to maintain the assigned altitude and track. When both engines quit, the airspeed starts rolling back. Because the autopilot is trying to maintain altitude, it begins to increase the pitch angle (raise the nose) in order to generate the lift required to maintain the selected altitude at a lower airspeed. More pitch equals more drag, causing the airspeed to roll back even faster. I’m willing to bet that, in less than thirty seconds from the second engine quitting, the aircraft had already started its death roll and plunge to the ocean. One wing always stalls before the other. The autopilot by now had thrown up its hands and disconnected—its limits exceeded. With no pilot alive on the flight deck to initiate a stall recovery, that huge machine would’ve rolled on its side as the first wing stalled, its nose falling to near vertical, and gravity would have done the rest, rapidly accelerating it to extremely high speeds, ensuring complete destruction on impact in one of the most remote stretches of ocean on earth. The flaperon found near Africa may have ripped off during the ferocious descent, tumbling and slowing down as to remain intact on impact.
So that’s it. No bloody violence and no conspiracies, on-board or otherwise. A single dead villain and an airplane full of innocent dead passengers and crew that slammed into the Indian Ocean, disintegrating and sinking to the depths. More pieces may be found on various beaches around the Indian Ocean. Investigators may connect some of the dots, but in my humble opinion, this simple but plausible scenario I’ve just presented is the most likely.
Until next time, over ‘n out.

New restaurants and cafes seem to be springing up all over Itaewon at the moment. As I wander down alleys and side streets I keep spotting new places to try; and right out on the main strip, sandwiched between Panchos and the KB Bank, I discovered a new take out noodle place that offers a box of South Asian goodies for far less cash than most other eateries.
Noodle Box franchises have popped up in Hongdae, Shinchon, Gangnam and Itaewon, offering a small selection of noodle and rice dishes starting at 5,700 won. To celebrate the grand opening of the Itaewon branch every main course on the menu has been brought down to 5,000 won, I'm not sure how long the discount will last, but it certainly offers a thrifty alternative to Buddha's Belly, Wang Thai or Pattaya. I opted for the Pho Xao, described as "Vietnamese Pad Thai. Fried flat rice noodles served with pork, mussel, plus vegetable combination."
Low prices also mean self service down at Noodle Box, but for 5,000 won I was happy to make the short trek to the counter. My noodles arrived promptly in their own special box (how appropriate!) and when I opened up my small cardboard parcel of delight I was greeted with a burst of fragrant steam. So far, so good. It turned out to be a tasty little package and worth the price - choice morsels of pork, a few mussels and plenty of beansprouts, but my only complaint would be that the noodles were a tad too chewy.
Noodle Box offers a decent meal at very low cost and adds a touch of asian flair to the row of kebab shops that adorn the strip between the subway and the fire station. Certainly a good option for those on a budget or in a hurry, and may well offer a little nostalgia for those who used to get their noodles in boxes... To get to Noodle Box, head out of Itaewon station past KB Bank and this cheap little eatery will be on the right hand side. If you hit Mr. Kebab, you've gone too far. Visit their website here.

About an hour before last week’s Pac-12 Conference Tournament championship between Washington and Oregon, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott delivered an essential “State of the Conference” speech to gathered media at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Scott, flanked by University of Colorado Chancellor Philip DiStefano, who’s in his first year as chair of the Pac-12 CEO Group, delivered his remarks on multiple topics including but not limited to: attendance at both the men and women’s Pac-12 Conference Tournament, future TV deals and the overall finances of the Pac-12 Conference.
Scott painted an optimistic picture of the state of affairs within the Pac-12, but is his depiction of things in line with reality? The CUI’s Scott MacDonald says no.
For a bit of context, the Pac-12 Conference as a whole really isn’t doing too hot — certainly not as well as the deep-pocketed commissioner will make it out to be. And it’s most certainly not financially proficient either.
Before the Pac-12 Tournament had started, Scott made the rounds around national media when John Canzano of The Oregonian reported that he’d be staying in a $7,500-per-night suite at the swanky Aria hotel on the Las Vegas strip. With his humble room comes a private butler, two floors and 3,300-plus square feet for the conference’s commissioner to stretch his legs.
Though the casino reportedly comped the room as a ‘thanks for choosing Vegas’ and its MGM suites as its tournament destination since 2013, it’s decidedly a bad look for the Pac-12 and its commissioner.
While I can’t officially say his title, let’s just say he was a very sharply-dressed man, who was apparently high-ranking enough to get on the court while the Oregon Ducks celebrated their championship victory after the game, something my colleague and I weren’t even allowed to do as credentialed media personnel.
Turns out some of the comments and snide remarks I’d hear throughout the game from Mr. MGM would perfectly juxtapose and undermine what I’d heard from Scott in his address earlier that night.
To start, Scott has been in hot water in the past for his reported $4.8-million-a-year salary, which is more than the Big Ten’s and SEC’s commissioners make combined, and for the strain that the nearly $7 million in annual rent that the Pac-12 headquarters in San Francisco, California — close to four-times as much as the SEC’s and Big Ten’s rent combined — is putting on league finances.
This, amid the noted financially woes of the conference, was something one of my media counterparts probed the Pac-12 overseer for. The reporter asked about how Pac-12 programs’ athletic directors have been asking about the conference’s budgets but were told the information is for presidents only, to which the commissioner quickly shrugged it off.
Scott continued his roundabout answer for nearly a full page of transcription.
While sure to focus on he and his committee’s prudence and proper fiscal governance, Scott, too, resigned to the fact that there were multiple media accusations of the aforementioned.
Aside from the conference’s hidden budget, there is another big failing expenditure on Scott’s behalf: the Pac-12 Network. It was another point of emphasis in the press conference.
The independently-owned network has been in a bit of a tailspin since AT&T U-Verse dropped the Pac-12 Network at the end of 2018. Some estimate 500,000 viewers were lost as part of the decision. Scott made it well-known that he’d love to partner with DirecTV, which reaches 20 million households worldwide. The only problem for Scott and his poor-performing Pac-12 Network is DirecTV doesn’t want to do business with them.
Pac-12 teams themselves haven’t necessarily been television worthy as of late. The conference’s football teams went 1-8 in bowl games, the worst Power-5 postseason performance in history. Pac-12 basketball was pretty atrocious, as well.
The conference finished dead-last of the Major 7 conferences in its teams’ records against non-conference opponents. And for the first time since the 2011-12 season, the Pac-12 didn’t have a team finish in the top-25 at the end of the calendar year.
Mr. MGM wasn’t pleased with the product that his company was hosting either.
Mr. MGM brings up a good point. While he was off on his 9,000 attendance metrics — it was actually 12,877 — it’s still low. In total, the tournament brought in 69,024 fans, the lowest number its attracted since the 2013 tourney held just 63,750. It’s been trending down at an alarming rate, too. Since the tourney peaked in 2017, the inaugural tournament at T-Mobile Arena, the attendance rate has been decreasing rapidly, dipping down 11,000 from last year’s tourney to this year’s.
But the reality is, it’s been a down year for the Pac-12, in football and basketball. Even Scott will admit to that.
“This has certainly been an interesting year of Pac-12 basketball, below par, by Pac-12 standards, no doubt,” said Scott.
As the first half of the championship game came to a close, with 2:56 to go in a 21-20 game, I heard Mr. MGM mutter to his friend again.
“At least it’s a close game, as boring as it is,” the MGM rep said.
In the second half, he made his distaste of the ‘boring’ game known once more to his friend, as Washington struggled to put points on the board.
To be fair, the excitement of a single game, or any of the commissioner’s schools’ performances, aren’t exactly his fault. Nor are the onslaught of scandals at his schools that have be dug up this season. It was another talking point of the media in Scott’s Saturday press conference.
Yet another bad look for the Pac-12 brand and its commissioner are the sundry of scandals that have ransacked the conference throughout the season. From the recent USC admissions scandal to Arizona Wildcats’ longtime head coach Sean Miller, who’s found himself, as well as his assistants, in hot water amid a recruiting scandal.
That’s about all Scott had to say about that scandal. But just as quickly as one was swept under the rug by Scott, another was presented by a media member. This time, the question was raised about the Pac-12’s nationally-noted poor officiating issues.
The latter issue earned a comment from the MGM mystery man during Saturday’s championship game. When Washington’s Noah Dickerson was called for a personal foul at the 8:32 mark of the second half, the arena erupted with boos of disagreement by the official’s call, as has happened many times during Pac-12 games.
“I’ve seen some bad calls but this is awful,” I overheard Mr. MGM say to a nearby arena media operations staff member sitting in the row in front of us. Like the entire arena that was raining “boo’s” down on the officials, the operations staffer, too, agreed whole-heartedly with the bad call.
The prospect of poor officiating was brought up in Scott’s earlier press conference, too. The Pac-12 has become well-noted around the league for its at-times atrocious refereeing.
Nothing of substance, no answer, no fix. Like many of the ‘major topics,’ as Scott referred to them as.
Regarding the Pac-12 football championship game location. In January it was announced that the Pac-12 and Levis’ Stadium had come to a mutual agreement to end their partnership after 2019.
Maybe another’s contract will be expiring — or, perhaps terminated — soon enough, too. The Pac-12, its athletic directors, its programs and its fans are looking at you, Mr. Scott.
While the Pac-12 conference is certainly in gilded hands — at least for now — it is most certainly not in good ones. In more ways than one.
After the Oregon Ducks had won the Pac-12 Championship, and the bow was being placed on top of another so-so tournament, tragedy nearly took place. As Commissioner Scott was ready to pass the conference’s trophy to Oregon freshman Bol Bol, Scott’s almost dropped the trophy.
In a way, it was a very poetic metaphor for how he’s handled the Pac-12 Conference: with very little care.

This is a great place to be a big kid and climb on top and inside the old trains – just be careful when climbing up. You’ll then head to the small village of Colchani, where you’ll get the opportunity to learn about how salt is processed and visit the Salt Museum.
Time for the main attraction! From Colchani you will drive into the Salt Flats and spend the afternoon exploring this true natural marvel. No picture or video can really express the magnitude of actually being there. You’ll also have the chance to see the Salt Mountains, salt extraction facilities, and the ‘Eyes of the Salt Flat.’ You will also visit Isla Incahuasi, an island of coral and giant cacti in the middle of the desert.
The day ends in the town of San Juan, where you will stay in a hostel made completely of salt – Villa Candelaria Salt Hostel.
Welcome to your second day! In the morning, you’ll make your way to the small community of Mallku Villa Mar. This area is home to some of the most spectacular ancient rock paintings with drawings of humans and animals. Then off to the Valley of the Rocks, where massive stones have eroded due to the strong winds in the high deserts.
You’ll also visit the Black Lagoon – black in color (hence it’s name) and covered in black volcanic rocks on the bottom. This area is full of different birds, including Tawas (black ducks with yellow faces) and high-altitude Geese. Then, the beautiful Catal Canyon with winding frozen rivers and enjoy a simple picnic lunch. Then heading to a fresh water waterfall, you’ll enjoy an beautiful view of the valley which is home to many small Andean towns as well as llamas and alpacas farms.
Tonight’s lodging is in at a basic hostel in Huayllajara. Depending on the weather and where other tour groups are heading today, the exact order of the sights you’ll see will change.
Today after an early morning breakfast, you’ll head to Laguna Colorado, a nesting ground for over 30,000 flamingos. In the morning, you’ll also visit the Geysers of the Morning Sun – incredible natural spouts of steam that shoot up from the ground at over 90°C (194°F).
From there, you will go to the Polques hot springs, where you can relax in the natural hot pools before continuing on to the Dali Desert. Surrounded by towering volcanoes, the scene is surreal – just like one of Salvador Dali’s paintings. From here you continue to White Lagoon (Laguna Blanca) and Green Lagoon (Laguna Verde), both located at the foot of the Licancabur Volcano.
You’ll then begin the return journey to Uyuni (about 7 hours). You will stop for lunch around midday, but otherwise there are not many other stops on the way back. You will arrive back in Uyuni around 5:00 pm (17:00).
The exact itinerary is subject to change with weather. This is especially true during the months of February and March.
5 liters of water per person – this may sound like a lot, but remember you’re in the driest place on Earth, may suffer from altitude sickness, and you cannot buy water on the way.
This tour includes “basic accommodation”. These are hostels and small hotels that are extremely remote, in the northern desert in Bolivia. The small towns are very poor and lack the infrastructure that most travelers are accustomed to.

The Dart Inshore Lifeboat serves the River Dart from its navigable limits at Totnes, to the deepwater harbour of Dartmouth itself and out into the immediate seas beyond. It is flanked to the East by the Torbay lifeboat at Brixham and to the west by the Salcombe lifeboat.
The D class lifeboat requires a three person crew so a minimum of twelve enrolled crew members are needed. Most D class stations have twenty to twentyfive crew members; all are volunteers with full time jobs and commitments. As calls can come at any time, many would be unavailable, hence the need for a large pool of trained crew.
At Dartmouth we are fortunate. To date, there are twenty four volunteers, of both genders, with a variety of backgrounds, from full time watermen, part time yachtsmen, leisure water users to dedicated and committed novices. Their trades include boat builders and finishers, lifeguards, harbour board operators, commercial yachtmasters and also members of local rowing and sailing clubs.
Confidence is high; we have the right people with the skills and commitment to develop and 'man' a 1st rate lifeboat station in Dartmouth. The crew volunteers now meet informally between 6pm and 7pm on Tuesday evenings, at the Lifeboat Station. Tuesday evening is also one of the two crew training nights.

Bake the rolls in a preheated 375°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until they're lightly browned and feel set. Remove them from the oven, and set them on a rack. Turn them out of the pan, and allow them to cool for about 15 minutes. Towards the end of the cooling time, make the glaze.
To make the frosting: In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese, butter, maple syrup, confectioners' sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Mix on low speed until thoroughly combined and creamy. Feel free to adjust the frosting to meet your needs. If you like a thinner frosting, add in a little milk (start with 1 teaspoon) and slowly increase until you reach the desired consistency. If you want it to be thicker, add in a little more confectioners' sugar.

Every have a thought or read something that just punches you in the throat? When you know a truth bomb has been dropped and you can't keep your same way of thinking anymore.
This was my truth bomb this morning when I wanted to break my no processed foods diet.
Damn. Double damn now it's time to make a green smoothie and not eat the peanut butter english muffin that I was craving.
Now I've never been one of those moms who never takes care of herself. I've showered every single day of my life. I don't think it's selfish to drop my kids in the childcare center and workout at the gym. I try to eat healthy most of the time but queso and peppermint M&Ms are irresistible for me.
But twice a year when my husband and I give up processed foods I really struggle with eating and wanting to cheat. So much so that we've never made it through January. Not once. The longest we have lasted is 16 days. Pretty darn pitiful.
Well today is day 11 and it's cold and miserable out and I didn't want a green smoothie for breakfast or eggs which are my only breakfast options. I'm not much of a breakfast eater, I don't really like the majority of breakfast foods.
As I was thinking about cheating on my diet that truth bomb was dropped on me. I wouldn't cheat on my husband, why would I cheat on myself?
That's when I knew I had to change my way of thinking about this diet. I need to stop focusing on what I missing out on like queso and focus on why I do this challenge in the first place. I want to reset my eating habits, cook for scratch to remind myself that it's not that hard, and drink more water. While yes I end up losing some weight that's not my motivation. I want to eat better.
I'm glad I had this realization today because if history has taught me anything it's that week three is the hardest. That may sound crazy but it's true. By week 3 I'm sick of cooking and dying for a Diet Dr. Pepper.
I'm hoping my new mindset will help me get through the rest of the month.

Elder L. Tom Perry, a senior member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter,day Saints, is fond of describing himself as being "as common as dirt."
Yet his life is uncommon by any standard. After spending most of his early years in his hometown of Logan, Utah, and additional years on a mission and in the military, young Tom Perry launched a twenty,year professional career that took him from his first job as an internal auditor in Boise, Idaho, to executive positions in retailing on the west and east coasts of the United States. Soon after his fiftieth birthday, he was surprised to be called as an Assistant to the Quorum of the Twelve. Not long afterward, President Spencer W. Kimball extended to Elder Perry the call to join the Quorum of the Twelve. Elder Perry has now served for forty years as a General Authority.
For Elder Perry, the value of life's experiences is determined primarily by the lessons they teach. As the story of his life shows, his positive attitude has created positive lessons that we can learn from. He has lived a life of faithfulness to God, family, and country, and he continues to be blessed with faith,promoting experiences.
This first volume of Elder L. Tom Perry's biography extends from his birth on August 5, 1922, through his marriage to Virginia Clare Lee, the births of their children, and his career in the world of retailing to the time of his call to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and the passing of his beloved Virginia.
Uplifting and inspirational, this story of a remarkable man of faith encourages us to live better lives by drawing closer to God, selflessly serving others, and leading our families along the path of righteousness.

During an interview with cryptocurrency outlet, CoinDesk, the director of the Ethereum Foundation, Aya Miyaguchi talked about how things have changed over time and what caused this change. It is this change that has shifted the vision of the non-profit organization, Ethereum Foundation.
Aya Miyaguchi was appointed during the. cryptocurrency winter in 2018. At this time, the price of ETH was falling significantly against the USD just like other cryptocurrencies in the market. Ether was one of the coins that suffered the most during the bear market. This is because apart from the general negativity in the market, the Ethereum blockchain had a lot of competition to deal with. Many new generation blockchains were created to pose direct threats to Ethereum. While none of these blockchains have been able to overtake ETH per market capitalization yet, things haven’t been so easy.
The bottom line is that the Ethereum Foundation is no longer the central hub for Ethereum developers it used to be in the beginning. However, even as things are changing and the foundation is expanding, Miyaguchi insists that the foundation needs to do better in its communication and coordination roles.

As we reported, a bunch of celebs were contacted to participate, and even Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton were offered $250,000 to fight, but it doesn’t appear like they wanted to take a shot from Farrah.
“Mob Wives” star Drita D’Avanzo also wanted to take the fight, but Farrah considers her a bully and did not want to her to be a part of the event.
Hoopz, who once dated Shaq, was vocal from the beginning that she wanted the fight. The reason for the whole boxing match is to raise awareness against bullying, and both Farrah and Hoopz believe in fighting for the cause.
The fight is set to go down November 10 at the Showboat Atlantic City Hotel, there will be eight other bouts before the main event with Farrah and Hoopz.

Welcome to part two of our Holiday Food & Wine Pairing blog feature. Today, the focus is on pairing some of the traditional Holiday Appetizers with wines.
Choose lighter wines to start. Starting with a heavy wine destroys your palate’s ability to detect the subtlety of a lighter wine. Crisp white wines and dry Rose are a good place to start. If you’re not sure what I mean, take a few sips of a big meaty Cabernet Sauvignon and then try a few sips of a Pinot Grigio. Your palate will likely be overwhelmed by the remaining tannins and fruit from the Cab, effectively rendering the Pinot Grigio tasteless.
If you don’t like white wines, then start with lighter red wines like Pinot Noir.
When serving appetizers, follow the general guidelines in part one of our post Holiday Food & Wine Pairing blog post.
Be careful pairing creamy sauces and soups with white wines. Many lighter wines are higher in acid and will react with the cream. Look to white wines like Chardonnay, Viognier or Roussanne to complement these sauces because they have softer, less acidic tastes so they pair well with cream sauces.
Now, to the appetizer pairings!
Be careful when trying to pair Chardonnay with food. In the US, the flavor of Chardonnay varies more than most other white wines. Picking a specific dish to go with Chardonnay is impossible unless you know how the wine was made. Traditional Chardonnays have an oaky, buttery flavor that have as much in common with a lighter red like a Pinot Noir than they do with a dry white wine like a Riesling. Many newer Chardonnays are made with no oak and are lighter and crisper than the traditional style and are actually closer to a Sauvignon Blanc with respect to pairing with food. Know the character of your Chardonnay before you serve it with food.

FAYETTEVILLE (KFSM) -- Motorcycles will soon rumble into town for the 18th Annual Bikes, Blues & BBQ Rally that starts on Wednesday (Sept. 20).
One of the biggest complaints, according to event organizers, is there just wasn't enough barbecue to back up Bikes, Blues & BBQ. They are working to change that by beefing up food options at the rally.
Rally executive director Tommy Sisemore said they are adding more food option to the rally, and they have partnered with Pagnozzi Charities to create a full service barbecue restaurant on the corner of Dickson and West and one at Arvest Ballpark.
"We met with Tom and Tom was willing to undertake the project," Sisemore said. "Tom does great things during the Razorback football game tailgates. He's used to cooking a massive amount of food and he puts out a really great product."
Fayetteville native Mark Grant spent the day setting up Porky Chicks Barbeque. He said this is his 11th year selling barbecue at the rally.
"It takes us a couple of days to setup and get everything going and you know with the food and everything we have a semi-truck full of supplies across the street that we pull from and pretty much use them up," he said.
Grant says they'll start smoking the meat on Tuesday, and they plan to serve up a ton of pork.
Dimitri Sakerlkriadis has been coming from Florida for a decade to cook Greek and seafood at the rally.
"We need a couple more hours today to prep and a couple of hours tomorrow and then we just start cooking around noon on Wednesday and we go from there," he said.
The main stage and beer garden will open at 5 p.m. on Wednesday with the first band taking the stage at 6 p.m. Arvest Ballpark and Baum Stadium will be open Wednesday at noon.
Around 275,000 people came to last year's rally, which was down from year's past. They are expecting around 325,000 people this year.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has urged China to "temper" its behaviour in the South China Sea in a rare criticism of the Asian superpower over its programme of island-building in disputed waters.
China has alarmed and angered its neighbours by claiming dominion over most of the South China Sea and building a string of artificial islands and military airbases.
But the outspoken Duterte - keen to court trade and investment from Beijing - has mostly withheld criticism.
"You cannot create an island. It's man-made and you say that the air above this artificial island is yours," Duterte said, according to a transcript released by the presidential palace on Wednesday.
"That is wrong because those waters are what (one) would consider international sea. And the right of innocent passage is guaranteed," said Duterte, who did not refer to any specific incident.
He added that he did not want to "quarrel" with China.
Duterte's national security adviser Hermogenes Esperon told reporters at the time that the Philippines could go to war "if our people are hurt there".
There was no immediate response from the Chinese embassy in Manila.
In May China landed several combat aircraft - including the long-range, nuclear-capable H-6K - at another island airfield in the sea for the first time, triggering international concern.
Despite this, it has denied militarising the area, through which roughly a third of all global maritime trade passes.
An international maritime tribunal ruled early in Duterte's presidency in 2016 that China's claims to the area have no legal basis.
The Philippines is a military ally of the US, which says it is not taking sides in the various South China Sea territorial disputes.
However, the US navy has forcefully asserted its right to freedom of navigation in the area, repeatedly sailing close to the man-made islands and drawing Chinese protests.
Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam also have claims in the sea.

Chronic cough affects more than 70 percent of patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and causes significant morbidity. Gastroesophageal reflux is the cause of some cases of chronic cough; and also has a postulated role in the aetiology of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. A high prevalence of acid; and more recently non-acid, reflux has been observed in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis cohorts. Therefore, gastroesophageal reflux may be implicated in the pathogenesis of cough in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Eighteen subjects with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis underwent 24-hour oesophageal impedance and cough count monitoring after the careful exclusion of causes of chronic cough other than gastroesophageal reflux. All 18 were then treated with high dose acid suppression therapies. Fourteen subjects underwent repeat 24-hour oesophageal impedance and cough count monitoring after eight weeks.
Total reflux and acid reflux frequencies were within the normal range in the majority of this cohort. The frequencies of non-acid and proximal reflux events were above the normal range. Following high dose acid suppression therapy there was a significant decrease in the number of acid reflux events (p = 0.02), but an increase in the number of non-acid reflux events (p = 0.01). There was no change in cough frequency (p = 0.70).
This study confirms that non-acid reflux is prevalent; and that proximal oesophageal reflux occurs in the majority, of subjects with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. It is the first study to investigate the effect of acid suppression therapy on gastroesophageal reflux and cough in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. The observation that cough frequency does not improve despite verifiable reductions in oesophageal acid exposure challenges the role of acid reflux in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis associated cough. The finding that non-acid reflux is increased following the use of acid suppression therapies cautions against the widespread use of acid suppression in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis given the potential role for non-acid reflux in the pathogenesis of cough and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis itself.
The study was registered with the Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board Research and Development Committee (09/CMC/4619) and the South East Wales Ethics Committee (09/WSE04/57).
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, fibrotic interstitial lung disease of unknown origin associated with the histological and/or radiological pattern of usual interstitial pneumonia . It typically presents with progressive breathlessness and more than 70% of patients also complain of a persistent, troublesome cough, which is resistant to conventional antitussive therapy . Cough is an airway defence mechanism which is mediated via vagal sensory nerves that are mainly located within the central and proximal airways . It is therefore interesting that cough should be such a prominent symptom in IPF which predominantly affects peripheral lung parenchyma. A recent study using 24-hour cough monitors has shown that patients with IPF have higher cough counts than both normal controls and asthmatics; and that the cough counts correlate well with subjective assessments of cough . It has also been demonstrated that cough has a significant, detrimental effect on quality of life in patients with IPF .
The mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of IPF remain unknown. However, one hypothesis proposes that chronic aspiration of gastric contents may cause repeated injury to alveolar epithelium resulting in the pathological abnormalities of usual interstitial pneumonia . This hypothesis has recently received support from studies using 24-hour oesophageal pH monitoring and oesophageal manometry. The largest of these found that 87% of patients with IPF had abnormal acid gastroesophageal reflux (GOR) which was often clinically silent and occurred despite treatment with acid suppression therapy . Furthermore, two small, retrospective, observational studies have reported clinical stabilisation of patients with IPF following strategies aimed at the management of GOR [8, 9]. Consequently, international guidelines recommend that the majority of patients with IPF and asymptomatic acid reflux should receive medical treatment with acid suppression therapy, whilst acknowledging that the evidence to support such a recommendation is weak [10, 11]. Despite the widespread use of acid suppression therapy in patients with IPF, the impact of such treatment on GOR and cough in this condition has not been investigated.
Gastroesophageal reflux has long been known to be an important cause of chronic cough . Indeed a diagnosis of acid GOR-associated cough is often made following a successful, empirical trial of high-dose acid suppression therapy . Thus, a particular attraction of the reflux hypothesis is that it could explain both the pathogenesis of IPF and the associated symptom of cough.
Despite the accumulating body of evidence linking IPF, cough and acid reflux, less is known about non-acid reflux in this context. A recent advance in the assessment of non-acid reflux is the technique of combined oesophageal pH and impedance monitoring. This provides a means of detecting and characterizing all reflux episodes regardless of pH . Using this technique a recent study has shown a high prevalence of non-acid gastroesophageal reflux in patients with IPF compared with controls . A study using pH-impedance monitoring in patients with systemic sclerosis, a condition complicated by oesophageal dysmotility and GOR, showed a positive relationship between the degree of acid and non-acid GOR and extent of pulmonary fibrosis estimated on CT scan .
Cough reflex sensitivity to capsaicin is known to be increased in IPF suggesting there is up-regulation of sensory C-fibres in the airways in IPF . Cough reflex sensitivity to capsaicin is similarly increased in patients with both acid and non-acid reflux .
In this context, the objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of high-dose acid suppressant therapy on GOR and cough in this condition.
We recruited 18 consecutive non-smoking subjects meeting the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society criteria for the diagnosis of IPF . Other causes of cough, except gastroesophageal reflux, were carefully excluded by clinical history, examination and investigation in accordance with national guidelines . Subject characteristics are shown in Table 1. One-third of the cohort were taking immunosuppressive and immune-modulatory therapies at the time of the study, with some variation from triple therapy with prednisolone, N-acetylcysteine and azathioprine due to individual subject’s drug intolerances as detailed in Table 1.

All acid suppression and prokinetic medication was withheld for at least one week prior to study assessment. The 18 subjects underwent oesophageal manometry immediately followed by 24-hour combined pH-impedance monitoring (ZepHr, Sandhill Scientific, Highlands Ranch, CO). Impedance detected reflux events were defined according to pH as follows: acid reflux, pH <4; weakly acid reflux, pH 4 – 6.9; non-acid reflux, pH ≥ 7 . Total reflux was calculated as the sum of acid, weakly acid and non-acid reflux events. The reference ranges used to define normal values of reflux events were those previously published for healthy populations . Abnormal acid exposure was defined as pH <4 for ≥4.2% of the total study time . The DeMeester score, a composite score based on the number and length of acid reflux episodes and the length of time that oesophageal pH <4 , was calculated automatically by the pH-impedance software. Simultaneous 24-hour cough monitoring was performed using a semi-automated cough detection system (Leicester Cough Monitor, Version 1.2, with kind permission of Dr Surinder Birring) . Manometry and 24-hour pH-impedance results were analysed by two experienced operators blinded to the results of the 24-hour cough count. Operator input for the 24-hour cough counts was performed by a third operator blinded to the results of the manometry and pH-impedance as previously described .
All 18 subjects were then treated with open label high dose proton pump inhibitor therapy (omeprazole 40 mg twice daily or lansoprazole 30 mg twice daily) plus ranitidine 300 mg nocte for 8 weeks according to a protocol agreed a priori. Proton pump inhibition is endorsed by national and international guidelines as an empiric treatment for suspected GOR related cough [13, 24]. Asymptomatic GOR is known to be prevalent amongst IPF cohorts as outlined above. Therefore, high dose proton pump inhibitor therapy was used to ensure adequate acid suppression and H2-receptor antagonism was included in the protocol to treat potential breakthrough nocturnal reflux . Fourteen subjects agreed to undergo repeat combined 24-hour pH-impedance and 24-hour cough assessment following the 8 week treatment period, the other four subjects withdrew from the study prior to the second assessment. Three subjects also received additional prokinetic therapy (metoclopramide 10 mg three times daily or domperidone 10 mg three times daily).
The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare paired non-parametric continuous data. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare differences between non-parametric categorical variables. Proportions were compared using Fishers Exact Test. Spearman’s rank order correlation was used to assess correlation coefficients between non-parametrically distributed variables. All tests performed were two-sided tests at the 0.05 level of significance (SPSS version 18).
The study was approved by the South East Wales Ethics Committee (09/WSE04/57) and the Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board Research and Development Committee (09/CMC/4619). Subjects provided written informed consent.
The spectrum of GOR events recorded for individual subjects is shown in Figure 1. The number of 24-hour total reflux events, 24-hour acid reflux events and 24-hour weakly acid reflux events were within normal limits for the majority of subjects (83% - 15/18, 78% - 14/18, 94% - 17/18 respectively). Acid exposure time was also within normal limits for just over half the subjects (56% - 10/18). Most subjects had a negative DeMeester score (61% - 11/18). Non-acid reflux was present in the majority of subjects (72% - 13/18). A high proportion of proximal reflux events (mean 74.7% - Table 2) and supine reflux events (median 11.7% - Table 3) were recorded in the study cohort as a whole.

Lower oesophageal sphincter pressure was within normal limits for 61% (11/18) of subjects. There was a significant negative correlation between the number of total reflux events and lower oesophageal sphincter pressure (r = −0.68, p < 0.01). Manometry studies showed 17% (3/18) of subjects had evidence of ineffective oesophageal motility. No other indices of abnormal oesophageal motility were detected.
Following eight weeks treatment with high dose acid suppression therapy the majority of subjects had a decrease in the number of acid reflux events (p = 0.02) and an increase in the number of non-acid reflux events (p = 0.01) (Table 4) (Figures 2A-D). In three subjects (subjects 4, 7 and 12) there was no reduction in acid reflux events and no associated increase in non-acid reflux events following acid suppression therapy. There was no significant difference between the number of 24-hour total reflux events before and after acid suppression therapy (p = 0.81; Figure 2).

There was no significant change in 24 hour cough count (median; IQ Range) before (188; 338) and after (240; 382) acid suppression therapy (p = 0.70; Figure 3). There was no significant change in total reflux events (p = 0.18) or cough counts (p = 0.59) before and after therapy in the three subjects who also received prokinetic therapy.

This is the first study to investigate the effect of acid suppression therapy on gastroesophageal reflux and cough in patients with IPF. We have confirmed recent findings that non-acid reflux is prevalent and that proximal oesophageal reflux occurs in the majority of patients. This observation may be important because non-acid reflux (pH ≥7) is known to be rare in healthy individuals [20, 26].
A potential mechanism for chronic cough in patients with IPF and GOR is enhancement of cough reflex sensitivity due to neuronal changes within the airways induced by gastroesophageal refluxate. It has been demonstrated that induced sputum from patients with IPF contains higher levels of the neurotrophins, nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, compared with normal controls . Furthermore, a study investigating pulmonary neurotrophin expression in patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia found evidence of enhanced expression of neurotrophins in the lungs of patients with IPF compared to other interstitial lung diseases, with fibroblastic foci in particular showing intense immunostaining for brain-derived neurotrophic factor and its receptor TrkB . The cause of the enhanced neurotrophin expression in the lungs and airways of patients with IPF is unknown; however these observations raise the possibility that the neurotrophins may influence neuronal proliferation and differentiation in more proximal airways.
Gastric juice is a complex mixture of gastric acid, gastric enzymes such as pepsin; and bile acids and pancreatic enzymes from the duodenum. Hence, it may be of acid, neutral or alkaline pH. The pH of refluxate influences its biochemical activity and cellular toxicity. For example, animal studies have shown that within an acidic milieu pepsin potentiates the degree of acid-induced injury to oesophageal epithelial cells, but that at neutral pH pepsin is inactive and its oesophageal epithelial toxicity is ameliorated . The toxicity of individual bile acids also varies with pH and conjugation. Animal studies have shown that conjugated bile acids cause injury to the oesophageal mucosa at acidic pH, whereas unconjugated bile acids are more injurious at a neutral pH . In-vitro studies have shown that human airway epithelial cells exposed to unconjugated bile salts produce increased levels of the fibrogenic cytokine Transforming Growth Factor-β1 . There is also preliminary data to suggest that airway epithelial cells exposed to pepsin can undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transformation, a process which is implicated in the pathogenesis of IPF . In this context, our finding of frequent proximal reflux events in IPF subjects might be important because it demonstrates a potential mechanism by which alveolar epithelial cells could come into contact with the many components of gastric juice outlined above. A rodent model of chronic aspiration has shown that lung injury was caused by pH-neutral gastric constituents but not by hydrochloric acid . Therefore, it is possible that incremental lung injury caused by chronic microaspiration is due to the non-acid components of gastric juice.
Supine reflux from the stomach into the oesophagus is rare in normal human subjects [20, 26] probably because lower oesophageal sphincter relaxations are uncommon during sleep . By contrast, reflux from the duodenum into the stomach is a normal, physiological, postprandial event and it also occurs nocturnally . A previous study in patients with GORD found increased levels of bile acids in oesophageal aspirates compared with normal controls, particularly postprandially and in the supine position . Hence, it is also of interest that reflux occurred in the supine position in the majority of our cohort.
As might be predicted, the present study objectively demonstrated a marked decrease in acid reflux following treatment with high-dose proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2-receptor antagonists in the majority of patients with IPF. However, an unexpected finding was that this was consistently associated with an increase in non-acid reflux. Proton pump inhibitors are widely prescribed for acid suppression therapy in patients with IPF; therefore our findings that increased non-acid reflux may be a consequence of PPI therapy in such patients is an important observation.
The effect of PPIs on duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux is complex. Whilst they reduce gastric volume, which should reduce reflux into the oesophagus, they also delay gastric emptying which might enhance reflux . It has been shown that PPIs have no effect on levels of pepsin or bile acids in bronchoalveolar lavage from patients after lung transplantation, despite reducing oesophageal acid exposure . We were careful to exclude other known causes of cough in this patient cohort. Therefore, our observation that cough can occur despite verifying low levels of oesophageal acidity; and that cough counts do not diminish following high dose acid suppression therapy, suggests that acid-GOR per se is not the sole cause of cough in IPF. This finding is in keeping with negative randomized, controlled trials of acid suppression therapy in patients with GOR and chronic cough [37, 38].
The exclusion of confounding causes of cough and the invasive nature of the investigations performed has limited the size of the study cohort and also resulted in a high withdrawal rate for the second pH-impedance assessment. A combination of the small sample size and day to day variations in reflux frequency  may explain the unexpectedly low rates of acid reflux observed in our population compared with previous larger studies [7, 40]. In addition, a previous study has shown that objective cough frequency and subjective cough severity are both reduced by the presence of an oesophageal catheter . Such an inhibitory effect may have influenced the detection of a difference in cough count before and after acid suppression therapy. However, given that an oesophageal catheter was in situ both at baseline and eight weeks in the present study and the absence of a trend towards reduced cough after acid suppression therapy a type two error of this nature seems unlikely.
Despite these limitations, the careful subject selection process means that relevant observations about the relationship between cough, gastroesophageal reflux and acid suppression therapy in this condition can be made. The invasive nature of the investigations also made attempts to recruit a suitable control group unrewarding. However, the normal ranges for impedance detected reflux parameters have been well defined in both North American  and European populations . Three subjects were also treated with prokinetic therapy and whilst no clear evidence of additional effect was observed, the group is too small to draw conclusions from.
In conclusion, proximal, non-acid reflux is prevalent in patients with IPF and may be implicated in both the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis and sensitisation of the cough reflex in this condition. The lack of improvement in cough symptoms despite effective acid suppression therapy indicates that acid GOR reflux alone is not responsible for cough in the majority of patients with IPF. The finding that acid suppression consistently increases the frequency of non-acid reflux cautions against the widespread empirical use of acid suppression in IPF and GOR in the absence of objective pH or impedance testing. Our findings suggest that strategies for treating GOR in patients with IPF should target both acid and non-acid reflux, perhaps by including prokinetic therapies, rather than acid suppression therapy alone.

Jack Butland is happy to share any plaudits with Stoke City’s defence if they are giving him a chance to be a hero.
Butland emerged from a goalless draw at Nottingham Forest as a contender for man of the match for the third game and third clean sheet in a row.
His brilliant save from Joe Lolley’s shot from the edge of the box and one-on-one saves to deny Lewis Grabban won him applause from both managers and sets of fans.
But he insisted: “It’s my job. We brought a little bit of pressure on ourselves in the second half but we’re limiting to the kind of opportunities when I can make an impact.
“Early on in the season we were perhaps a little bit wide open and you feel a bit helpless at times but if it’s a one-v-one it’s something I can affect or if it’s a shot from distance, it’s one that I can affect, it hasn’t been getting cut open and tap-ins.
“That’s a real positive from how our season has changed. It gives me an opportunity to affect games and try to keep the ball out.
“It was difficult in the early part of the season when we were a little bit exposed but as a team we’ve been really good at limiting opportunities. There have been moments late in games but not too many glaring chances.
It was a game of few chances until the closing stages when Peter Crouch and Saido Berahino were both set up for Stoke and Butland was called into action at the other end.
The keeper said: “In the end the game opens up because of the nature of the league and it gets to a point when everyone is going for it but for 75 minutes we were in control and we’ve got to do more to find opportunities and be a bit braver in the final third.
Is Jack Butland rediscovering his inner Peter Schmeichel?
Yet Stoke might have been given a hand if Costel Pantilimon had been sent off for taking down Benik Afobe in the first half.

When you put any object into WordPress Page Builder content area it is placed to Row and Column. For example, when you put Text object to the page row and column are created automatically. In order to select a Row, you should hover over three vertical dots and click on them.
You can also find a Style tab at the Row Settings popup. There you can style your row visually like any other MotoPress object. You can learn how to style the objects and add your custom presets visually – in this guide.
Inner Row allows you to combine several rows under single row. For example you add a Title and style its row with background color. Then you add a Paragraph as new row and we can see that style of the Title row is not applied.
In order to place it as Inner Row you should drag the object (in our case it is paragraph) close up to the customized row till you see ‘Insert’. Then drop it.
Thus you have 1 common row and 2 inner rows.
If you inserted a new object as Inner row by mistake you can drag it back till you see ‘Row’ tip and drop it.
Using MotoPress Content Editor you can form the content into responsive columns visually. In order to select a Column you should hover over tree horizontal dots and click.
There is only Style tab available at Column Properties panel. It allows you to style each column individually.
While adding new object you can also define whether to form separate column or add it as Inner Column. In order to create new column you should drag new widget next to existing one till you see Column tip. Then drop it.
In order to add Inner Column you should drag new widget next to existing one till you see ‘Insert’ tip. Then drop it.
If you inserted a new object as Inner column by mistake you can drag it back till you see ‘Column’ tip and drop it.
Hello, I created two columns with three rows, for a total of six images with text underneath. It looks great on the computer, but on phones, it’s not responsive. Two of the pictures come first, then the two captions, etc. etc. instead of Picture Caption, Picture Caption. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!
Thank you for your question. I’d recommend to watch the video at this page carefully and re-position the elements following the steps described there. Or you can email us the shortcodes from your page and we’ll take a look at it for you.
Anyway it would be much easier to manage the rows and columns structure with new version that will be released soon. Thank you.
How do you delete an entire row/section?
drop it.” It says ‘insert’ but once I drop it, it drops in a totally different, random location further up the page..
Check whether the row where you try to insert an object is not an inner one. I would recommend you to re-arrange the elements to make sure they are placed in a way you need. Or you can submit a request to our tech support team and we’ll have a look at your particular case.

Velvet. What Makes It So Luxurious?
The history of Velvet goes back as early as 2000 BC in Cairo. With its intricate and luxurious embroidery, only the noble and wealthy could afford it. It has come to be associated closely with royalty across continents. Velvet clothing, being visually gorgeous, creates a sophisticated and upper crust look.
In Egypt, velvet carried an elite reputation from the robes of royalty, to a staple fabric during the medieval era into the renaissance. Plain, patterned, and printed silk velvets and the longer-piled relation, plush, were featured in glamorous opera coats during the early twentieth century. With its soft thread with precious metals woven into it, were among the most valuable items owned by both individuals and the Church.
Typically woven from silk, today velvet can be crafted from a variety of different fibres. It has become more affordable and people across various sections aspire to be seen in Velvet clothing.
The fabrics were not only popular in clothing, but soft furnishings to decorate the home. Our Yellow Velvet Tassel Cushion adds a pop of vibrancy to your home with the soft touch of Velvet.
