As service demand surges, airports turn to technology, faster building techniques.
Domestic and foreign airlines serving the U.S. carried an all-time high of 965 million passengers in 2017, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Airports Council International estimates that 8.8 billion flyers used airports worldwide last year, up 6.6%.
Airport operators everywhere are scrambling to keep pace. “Construction and expansion of airports is growing at a rate of 5–10% or more around the world,” says Jay Fraser, Vice President/General Manager of Turner Construction’s Aviation Group. Turner is adding a three-level, 50,500-sm international port at Cam Ranh International Terminal in Vietnam to handle 2.5 million passengers a year.
Turner and PLC Construction Services are working on the Federal Inspection Services (FIS) Relocation and Expansion project at San Diego International Airport’s Terminal 2 West, which will house Customs and Border Protection services.
U.S. AEC aviation-sector firms are benefiting from the high level of deferred investment in infrastructure, airline profitability, and the strength of the dollar, note Keith Thompson and Terence Young, Principals in Gensler’s Los Angeles office.
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill is lead designer for the new 450,000-sf International Arrivals Facility at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. It will add eight gates for widebody aircraft and 50 more passport checkbooths and kiosks.
AEC firms that practice design-build or integrated design delivery methods and are open to public-private partnerships are in the sweet spot for airport projects. “Clients are looking at delivery models that save money and time,” says Bijan Pashanamaei, PE, Director of AECOM Global Aviation.
He notes that the design and build portions for the modernization of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport’s Terminal 3 were wrapped into a single contract that included DWL Architects + Planners, SmithGroupJJR, and Corgan.
Mortenson Construction used “substantial fabrication” to deliver an Alternate Utility Facility to support Port of Seattle’s SeaTac airport in the case of disruptive high-wind events, says Mark Baughmam, DBIA, LEED AP, a Construction Executive with Mortenson.
enable planes to load without attendants are being installed.
One new feature at airport gates is a “hearing loop,” which wirelessly transmits boarding announcements to hearing-impaired passengers via their hearing aids or cochlear implants.
Airports are also revving up their retail and food services. “Unlike struggling malls, airports have a constant source of potential shoppers,” says Kelsey Chesney, Vice President and Senior Brand Strategist, FRCH Design Worldwide.
The design of travel retail has been shifting from a purely efficient, commodity-based model to a targeted, experienced-based one, says Kevin Horn, LEED GA, CallisonRTKL’s Vice President. Airport store designs are showcasing unique local merchandise. “Shop-in-shop” layouts highlight brands and allow flyers to engage products physically and digitally.
Horn notes that some travelers actually route their trips through two of his firm’s recent projects—Inchon International Airport in South Korea and Changi International in Singapore—to take advantage of their expansive retail offerings.
Airports, says Chesney, are becoming “self-contained cities” and homes away from home for frequent flyers. Fitness and wellness centers are popping up in airports. SOM’s Moore is seeing children’s play areas, ubiquitous electrical outlets, premium lounges, and short-term sleeping rooms.
“Adding seasonal outdoor spaces post security, interior landscaping and water features, and commissioned works of art are fast developing as distinguishing features of terminal design to create a sense of place,” says Moore.
In some of its recent airport projects, Gensler has introduced a town square concept that offers spaces for concerts, fashion shows, dance presentations, and local artists’ exhibits, along with meditation and yoga rooms.
This “sense of place” extends to how an airport building is positioned vis-à-vis its outdoor surroundings. DWL’s design for Scottsdale (Ariz.) Airport’s new 23,898-sf Aviation Business Center, says Braun, integrates shaded glass façades to enhance visitors' views of the nearby McDowell Mountains.
This $27 million Terminal Area Redevelopment project, which will expand two hangars, is transforming Scottsdale Airport from a corporate, general aviation reliever facility into "a community resource and a point of pride for the city,” says Braun.
Skanska and HOK led the design-build team.
The terminal’s design philosophy combines nature, technology, and community.
The project was set to cost $13.3 billion.
The hub sees over 15 million travelers annually.
The project includes a new 1 million-sf terminal building with 33 domestic aircraft gates.
The project is being hailed as the city’s most transformative since the construction of the Superdome.

The US president is reluctant to concede that the travel ban is not the silver bullet he made it out to be. Such restrictions are futile in the face of a dynamic, transnational ideology.
The attack in New York on Tuesday afternoon, in which eight people were killed and at least a dozen others injured, is a timely reminder that despite the battlefield victories in Mosul, Raqqa and elsewhere, the threat of Islamist-inspired terrorism remains.
The 29-year-old suspect reportedly drove his rented vehicle 14 blocks before crashing into a school bus before emerging with two replica firearms. The suspected attacker, identified as Sayfullo Habibullaevic, an Uzbek national who legally moved to the US in 2010, was taken to hospital after being shot and wounded by police officers and is expected to survive.
While there has been no immediate claim of responsibility, authorities investigating the attack have said that a note written in a foreign language pledging allegiance to Isis was discovered in the vehicle. As expected in such cases, there has also been celebratory activity on jihadi communications platforms, with supporters and sympathisers praising the attack.
The description of Sayfullo Habibullaevic being a lone wolf attacker is premature and potentially misleading.
While the individual may have acted alone, experience from previous investigations into similar attacks suggests the likelihood that a broader, loose network could be involved.
The act is often conducted by a single attacker, but often other individuals, whether through physical or digital interactions, provide an environment for the extremist ideas to flourish and such actions encouraged.
While it is not known whether Habibullaevic had links to any known jihadi groups, he comes from a country that is no stranger to jihadi activity. The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), established in 1991, has sought to overthrow the Uzbek government and replace it with an Islamic government to rule by a strict interpretation of Sharia law.
However, government crackdowns saw the group disperse and broaden its area of operations, particularly in neighbouring Afghanistan and Tajikistan, where the group had been active in forming alliances with other jihadi groups such as al-Qaeda and the Taliban. The IMU was designated a terrorist organisation by the United Nations in 2001.
Months after the declaration of Isis’ so-called caliphate in Syria and Iraq, militants belonging to the IMU were among the first to pledge allegiance to the group, with an online statement issued by a senior leader of the group praising Isis for its disregard for international borders, hoping that the group would one day seize control of Palestine and the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
Isis has been cognizant of its large audiences in Russia and Central Asia, with propaganda material, including Rumiyah magazine, circulated in the Russian language. While not on the same scale as attacks in Western Europe, there have been several small-scale attacks in Russia and the Former Soviet Republics claimed by Isis.
Figures from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) show that around 500 foreign fighters from Uzbekistan have travelled to join Isis, while a report published in October 2017 by the Soufan Group suggests a higher estimate, with around 1,500 Uzbek nationals believed to have travelled to join Isis in Iraq and Syria.
The same report also determined that the proportion of regional foreign fighters from Former Soviet Republics was more than any other region, with over 8,000 individuals believed to have travelled to join the so-called caliphate, more than the number of foreign fighters from the Middle East (7,054) and Western Europe (5,718).
Given that Uzbekistan doesn’t feature on President Trump’s list of banned countries, judging from his response, stating that we must not allow Isis to return or enter the US after defeating them in the Middle East, the President is reluctant to concede that the travel ban is not the silver bullet he made it out to be. Such restrictions are futile in the face of a dynamic, transnational ideology.
The reality is that what connects Isis in Syria and Iraq to the insurgency in the Philippines, Nigeria, Afghanistan, and Egypt, and to the attacks we have witnessed in London, Manchester, Paris, Nice, Berlin, and Barcelona is not necessarily a tangible operational link, but rather a worldview, a set of ideas.
If only an operational link existed. We could end this in a matter of months, if not weeks. Unfortunately, the battle against the ideology connecting them all will be a generational struggle.
An ideology that cherry picks and manipulates Islamic scripture, seeks to divide the world between “believers” and “non-believers”, driven by a desire to implement by force a narrow articulation of Islam, alien to the majority of the world’s Muslims, and to eliminate any element of integration and coexistence between Muslims and non-Muslims.
Defeating Isis militarily is an important step in the fight against terrorism, but there is a bigger battle taking place, where men, women, and children, from all ethnicities and backgrounds, are being attracted to the closed-minded worldview of Islamist extremism.
Overcoming this threat needs more than physical security measures. Bullets and bombs cannot defeat an idea; travel bans cannot contain a borderless ideology. An open-minded approach that deals with the symptomatic violence and the underlying ideas must be the way forward.

With Alexandria ranking among the top choices of Egyptians for staycations as well as holidays, Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano has taken a strategic and most sensible strategy to develop a beach area right in front of the hotel, in the heart of bustling Alexandria – accessible through a tunnel under the Corniche.
This year, the hotel unveils its newly re-designed and expanded beach area. The Hotel unveils a new infinity pool on its private beach overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and introduces an additional 16 luxurious beach suites to compliments the Hotel’s collection of rooms and suites.
In the heart of the city, the 570 metre (1,870 foot) stretch of beach creates a summer getaway for all the family to connect and create memories but also, hopefully entices other developers for similar projects in the city of Alexandria, where unfortunately, Four Seasons Alexandria at San Stefano does not have any competitor.
The new – and only – beachside infinity pool in Alexandria will be the talk of the city. The seawater pool is located directly on the beach overlooking the Mediterranean, providing a unique experience available for Hotel guests in the heart of the city.
With an adult and kids pool, all the family will be entertained for the holiday. It also includes a bar inside the pool, 4 cabanas and 50 lounges. Whether dining poolside or sipping a cocktail, the magical sunset view of Alexandria should not be missed.
This year the Beach Restaurant and Lounge will be revamped with a fresher design to create a truly Alexandrian experience with modern resort feeling. The restaurant offers an à la carte menu focusing on local seafood and international dishes such as sea bass, grouper, crab and mussels delivered fresh from the sea. Alongside, the Lounge creates an ambiance to sip an exotic cocktail and indulge in flavoursome shisha while watching the sunset or socialising with friends enjoying the fresh sea breeze. For younger guests, the kid’s area will offer a kid-friendly space along with recreational activities.
The new one bedroom or two bedroom suites are designed with ultimate comfort and luxury and appointed with a living room, powder room and large terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom, as well as Four Seasons special amenities and access to the private beach.
Although the hotel has not undergone significant renovations since it opened in 2007, the property which designed by Pierre Yves Rochon has been impeccably maintained. With stunning direct sea-views, the hotel boasts indoor and outdoor swimming pools as well as one of the finest luxury Spas at a global scale among Four Seasons Hotels. The hotel’s main fine dining restaurant, Byblos, which is currently under renovation, boasts an impeccable array of Lebanese and Syrian dishes in an exquisite authentic Arabian decor.
Part of the DNA of Egyptians, service comes from the heart, the property having maintained the already achieved high standards of customer service soon after opening. Under the current guidance of Mr Shadi Suleman, General Manager, service standards have been boosted but probably most impressive is his fervent efforts to liaise with various private and governmental entities (both local and national) to make improvements in the city will surely attract further investments in the city which is inherently one of the world’s most storied metropolis, once the Riviera destination of Egypt and a major business hub.
The multi-million dollar investment in the San Stefano complex also includes residential units and a shopping mall, which is, unfortunately not even at an upscale level, in striking contrast with the hotel standards. As part of the strategic visionary approach of the hotel owners, the mall will surely become a priority surely being aware that an upgraded retail destination is a major draw for the hotel both staying guests and local patrons who may be attracted by the many F&B and wellness facilities of the hotel.
Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano is owned by Egypt’s leading luxury hotel developer Talaat Moustafa Group which also owns Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh (currently under renovations and expansion) and Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza – the leading luxury hotel in Cairo and one of the best performing hotels of the chain in the Middle East. The group also plans to open the very first Four Seasons Residences (luxury serviced apartments) in Cairo within the next 3 years.

The Government of Canada, through the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), is investing in two marine-themed conferences which will serve to highlight the research and development and industrial capacity of Newfoundland and Labrador's growing ocean technology cluster.
The 13th Annual General Assembly of the International Association of Maritime Universities (IAMU) will take place from October 15-17, while Ocean Innovation 2012 will run from October 21-24. Both events are hosted by the Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland and will take place in St. John's.
"These conferences speak to two of our Government's main priorities, as outlined in our Economic Action Plan 2012. They reflect our support for research and development, and the responsible development of our natural resources," said the Honourable Bernard Valcourt, Associate Minister of National Defence and Minister of State (Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency) (La Francophonie). "The Government of Canada understands the importance of investing in ocean innovation. We know our oceans hold great opportunity for jobs and economic growth, but that harnessing that comes with tremendous risk. That is why we support these conferences and why we invest in the many companies, institutions and researchers who focus on developing the oceans' resources safely and responsibly."
At the 13th Annual General Assembly of the IAMU, delegates will focus on the conference theme, "Expanding Frontiers - Challenges and Opportunities in Maritime Education and Training." Some areas to be discussed include training and research in harsh and ice-covered environments and an evaluation of the demand and opportunities for trade and transportation. For more information, visit www.iamu2012.com.
In this its 10th year, the Ocean Innovation conference will bring together internationally recognized researchers, regulators, policy makers and innovators to explore the state of the art in training, knowledge and equipment: supporting safety and survival in extreme ocean environments.
This year, Ocean Innovation has partnered with the International Association for Safety and Survival Training (IASST) to bring practical, hands-on experience to the conference. For more information, visit www.oceaninnovation.ca.
"The Marine Institute's exceptional educational and applied research programs, in combination with its close ties to companies in the marine and ocean industries, have helped position Memorial University and Newfoundland and Labrador at the forefront of ocean innovation in Canada," said Glenn Blackwood, vice-president, Memorial University (Marine Institute). "We are grateful for ACOA's support for these conferences that will bring experts from around the globe to share our knowledge and showcase our contributions to the maritime education, training and ocean technology sectors."
The Government of Canada's support for the conferences is provided through a commitment of $40,000 under ACOA's Business Development Program.

This morning, the playground was visited by this lovely flock of turkeys. Fun Fact: A group of domesticated turkeys is called a "rafter" and a group of wild turkeys is called a "flock". These turkeys seemed to be unsupervised so we'll assume they were wild & therefore a flock.
Students came to school today dressed as their favorite literary characters. Great job!
Great job to the Grade 5 FI students presenting their Midieval Fair 2019.

Colorful, silly, and utterly benign, Home is a passable diversion, but there's no shortage of superior animated alternatives.
It's not a great animated movie like Up - though honestly, not many films, animated or otherwise, compare to it - but it's probably a great movie if you have children.
It's disposable fluff that small children might enjoy, but everyone else will be bored long before the closing credits arrive.
Home is delightful. It's uncommon to find a family film with a message that lands as effectively yet lightly as this one, and rarer still to find a movie that's so much fun and yet says so much.
Home isn't going to spark any fires, but it's also not a horrible way to spend the afternoon. It's light, and it doesn't leave a horrible aftertaste.
It makes no missteps, and knows enough to focus on its strengths, and some darn cute Boov.
"Home" is a colorful and energetic, sometimes even frenetic, film that children of all ages will enjoy.
People always talk about the great Disney or Pixar films that come out every year, and if another animated film comes along that doesn't live up to those standards, they disregard it. Sadly, I think that this very underrated animated film will be forgotten about very soon, and it definitely should not be. "Home" tells a very simple story of an alien race that wants to inhabit earth. With the best intentions, they do not realize they are ruining the lives of the humans. When one rogue "Boov" (alien) meets up with a little girl who is left behind, they form a bond and hilarity ensues. I must say, this film is much funnier than I was expecting it to be. I was busting a gut quite a few times. No, nothing wholly original happens during this film, but the fact that the jokes feel fresh and the emotion is all intact, I had a blast. "Home" is a fun little gem that I really recommend to all ages, especially kids. Fun little surprise of a film.
Adorable and a half! I thought Oh's broken English and out-of-context pop culture references would be annoying, but he is actually rather lovable in his goofiness and naivete. I watched this movie in Taiwan with Chinese subtitles and was surprised to see that Oh's semantic antics weren't literally translated, causing a loss in humor, I assume. Tip is a cleverly conceived heroine - from her being on her own at sixteen, to her given name being Gratuity, to her mad-sad complexity. Rihanna does some emotive voicework, and she and Jim Parsons have great chemistry. The fact that the fugitive pair are able to elude capture in this high-tech world is a bit farfetched, but their budding friendship and Oh's gradual anthropological study of humans sends a sweet message about cultural understanding.
Home is a humourous animation that had me laughing like a drain fro the very beginning.
Oh: Can I come into the out now?
Oh: Ooohh, I too has to break pee.
Oh: Ahh! Do not eat the blue mints! Thankfully, there is a large bowl of lemonade. Do not drink the lemonade!
Oh: My hands are in the air like I just do not care!

We review Bountytown from Victory Point Games. In this old west card game, players are trying to collect as many bounties as they can by utilizing a set of poker like mechanics.
The Old West is not an overused theme in game design and generally piques my interest when I see a game that carries this theme. Bountytown, designed by Michael Huven-Moore and Kyle Van Winkle oozes the Old West. Its cover displays a kind of Clint Eastwood-esque character brandishing a six-shooter and acting as his backdrop is a wall filled with reward posters. Can you say Deadwood or Tombstone?
Bountytown was published in 2015 by Victory Point Games and is a game for 3-6 players that states it takes 30-60 minutes to play.
The characters in Bountytown are made from the standard VPG laser cuts.
The Old West theme completely comes out on the cards. The art is reminiscent of tin-type photographs from the period. The characters look like grizzled town-folk from a Spaghetti Western. All of the characters’ eyes are closed which give them that after-death look. It’s creepy for sure. The card text is very readable and easy to discern on how to use them.
The character figures are stand-ups made from VPG’s standard material used for laser-cutting. The face on them matches the art on the character cards.
The rulebook is easy to read and teach from. It is well-formatted and has a table of contents. The rules themselves are well-written and the flow is appropriate for this type of game. There is a great sample of a game turn towards the back of the rulebook.
First a starting player is selected. The rulebook suggests drawing the high card from the Duel Card deck to decide who starts. Play will continue throughout the game in clockwise order.
Each player gets to control a unique character in the game.
Dueling to capture Bounties and dueling players to steal bounties is the heart of the gameplay. To Duel a Bounty the active player must be at the either one of the 2 locations where a Bounty is depicted to be on their card. Then the player may discard as many Duel cards as they like from their hand and draw back the same amount from the Duel Card deck. The player then secretly select a hand to play.
Another player at the table draws a number of cards for the Bounty as stated on the Bounty’s card. Both her player and Bounty’s hands are revealed. The winner is determined by who had the highest ranked hand. Hands rank in a poker-like fashion (more on that later). If the player wins, they collect the Bounty Card and place it in front of themselves. If they tie, the player collects the Bounty, but takes a wound. If the player loses, they take a wound and the Bounty escapes and is discarded. Any item the Bounty is carrying is returned to the General Store.
To Duel a Player the attacking player must be in the location where the defending player is. Then the players may discard as many Duel cards as they like from their hand and draw back the same amount from the Duel Card deck. The players then secretly selects a hand to play.
Another player at the table draws a number of cards for the Bounty as stated on the Bounty’s card. The attacking, the defending player, and Bounty’s hands are revealed. The winner is determined by who had the highest ranked hand. Only the two best hands are considered between the 3. There can be ties as well.
If the attacking player wins, they steal the Bounty Card and the defending player takes a Wound. If they tie, the attacking player collects the Bounty, but both players take a Wound. If the attacking player loses, they take a Wound and do not steal the Bounty. If the Bounty wins, they escape and is discarded and both players take a Wound.
At the end of a turn, if any Bounties were dueled, replacement Bounties are drawn to replace the missing ones. Play passes to the player on the left.
During setup there are a number of Bounty cards placed into a draw deck and the Train card is shuffled into the bottom five Bounty cards. When the Train card is drawn the games ends and whoever has the most Renown is declared the winner.
You will be using poker like hands to capture bounties and attack other players.
I appreciate that several elements of Bountytown make it a highly re-playable game. There are 15 characters that you can choose to play. Each of them has a unique special ability that really changes how a player plays the game in order to optimize the benefit.
Only 6 of these buildings will be used in any one game.
There are 15 location cards that can be used to randomly construct Bountytown. During setup only 6 of those 15 are used. I have played the game several times and never had the same configuration come up twice. Also each location either affects dueling or allows the players to manipulate their hand from interacting with the Duel Card draw of discard pile.
There are 31 Bounties that represent desperados that the players are attempting to capture and hold onto during the game. Only 16 (3-4 players) or 22 (5-6 players) are randomly drawn during the game. Each Bounty distinctively has its own combination of Renown-value, item count, and base hand and card draw number (used when dueling). Some of the Bounties are even named after real Old West personalities like Butch Cassidy and Belle Starr.
I enjoy tension in a game brought on by changing decisions that one is confronted with from turn-to-turn. In Bountytown, the changing decisions not only occur during your turn, but you may face them because of the head-to-head duels thrown at you by the active player on their turn. There a few game mechanics that aid to hold or heighten the tension.
Each player is limited to dueling players that have at least as much “Renown” as them. At the very start of the game, players have zero Renown and can duel each other as desired, but as soon a player captures a Bounty, thus gaining Renown, they immediately have painted a target on their back. They cannot duel other players, but other players can duel them. That player must be on the defensive protecting their newly-gained Bounty from capture by an opportunistic adversary. Do I want to be that Bull’s Eye? Do I want to lay-low and try to capture low-Renown Bounties?
There are even some famous bounties in the game, such as Butch Cassidy.
In Duel resolution, played hands that are the same rank are considered ties and ties are not “broken” by high cards. This was a brilliant design choice in my opinion. It heightens the tension of card-play as the tie always goes to the attacker, but the attacker pays the price by taking a wound. This potential outcome may sway the attacker to attempt to play a hand with greater strength in order to win, but may seriously deplete their hand due to not being able to draw cards after dueling. In player duels, the defender has the advantage where they can bluff (bait) the attacker to attempt to win the hand instead of just tying. The defender knows unless they win the duel outright they are going to take a wound anyway, why not make the attacker deplete as many cards from their hand as possible knowing that they will be able to draw back as many cards as they played during the duel.
The hand management decisions with duel cards are very thought-provoking in this game. The Duel Cards are basically your ammunition and are used to decide who wins the duels. How vulnerable one is to duels by other players/Bounties or how successful one will be as the duel challenger is based on the current strength of hand ranking they have. The poker-like aspect of duel resolution had me guessing and second-guessing about how to balance my hand strength throughout the game. The hand management becomes a tricky exercise in timing when to initiate duels (discarding cards with no redraw), reloading your hand up to its limit, and using cards to buy items.
Having a fifth Gold suit was an excellent idea. Since Gold cards are used to purchase items at the General Store, a player must decide when is it prudent to spend those cards or hold onto them in order to have a greater possibility of obtaining a stronger hand-rank for the next duels. 2 of the top 4 hand ranks must contain a Gold card in them.
Being a long-time poker player I was not a fan of the switch in the hand-ranking in Bountytown. It was not intuitive and I always had to refer to the hand-ranking table in the rulebook. I understand that the hand-ranking in Bountytown is most-likely based on probability of obtaining each rank from 5 suits ranging from values 1 to 5 with 3 cards of each value. I really enjoy Bountytown, but I still did not like having to reprogram my poker-brain each and every time I play it.
At the very least, the game should have supplied a player-aid card for each player as a hand-ranking reference. Since this game consists mostly of cards already, I don’t think adding six more cards would have busted the production budget. I had to make photo-copies of the chart on page 9 for all of the players to use as reference. I believe the back of the rulebook was intended to be a player aid, but in my opinion the background coloring of the hand-ranking chart made it unusable due to being very difficult to read.
Visit the doc to heal up some wounds.
I quite enjoy Bountytown as a 3 or 4 player game. It puts players in the position to attempt to take advantage of their strengths and bluff or hide their weaknesses while trying to boost their Renown to win the game and defend against losing duels to the other bounty hunters. The back-and-forth nature of gameplay is challenging and engaging.
At 5 or more players, I can tell you there is going to be quite a bit of down time, especially if duels are occurring between the other players and not you. Yes other players can pull cards for the Bounties when they are involved with duels, but that is not very satisfying. Also with the higher player counts, if any of the players suffer from AP due to the randomness and chaotic nature of the turns, the game length suffers accordingly.
The back-and-forth somewhat random and chaotic nature of Bountytown may not appeal to some gamers, so I would not attempt to play Bountytown with people who do not care for that.
If you’d like to pick up a copy of Bountytown, you can get it for about $35.
Final Score: 3 Stars – A challenging and highly re-playable card game that should hold a place in anyone’s collection as a solid Old West themed game.

Winter is upon us and it came with a bang. Many of our customers are not familiar with driving in such demanding environments as the Icelandic winter can throw at us. As with any situation, it’s a question of keeping calm and never drive above your experience and comfort zone. If it’s snowing heavily and it’s slippery, who cares of the inpatient driver behind you honks at you (he/she must be a rude person anyways).
To make your Icelandic winter driving more fun, secure and comfortable, we have put together a few points here you can learn from.
All rental cars at Go Iceland Rental cars are equipped with studded tires for the best, possible traction but studded tires does not relieve you from the responsibility of driving safely.
Make sure you scrape and clean your windows and windshield before taking off. Start your car and then start cleaning them. Do not scrape the rear window from the inside with anything as rear windows are all equipped with defoggers (the small lines you see) and a scraper would damage those lines.
Try to remove the snow from the roof of the car too. It happens too easily when you brake with a good amount of snow on the roof, the whole block of snow slides over your windshield.
Remove any snow and/or ice from them and adjust them so you can see properly on each side of your car.
When filling up a car in extreme cold, it is a good habit to make sure one fills the tank fully for it lessens the chance of getting any water into the fuel system. Diesel or gasoline, goes for both, fill the tank and not just small amounts here and there.
One thing one is not supposed to do is to step on the gas if you get stuck. It’s quite the opposite, you try to work yourself slowly and sure out of your dilemma. If you get the car rolling, do not stop the car before you are fully off the slippery area. You can also try to rock back and forth, trying to get traction but again, try as hard as you can to not lose control and letting wheels spin. If you rented a 4×4, you might have a lock possibility which helps so much to get out of a sticky situation. Just set it to lock and try to drive off slowly and evenly, then unlock it again. The lock function is only made for driving at low speeds and only for a short period of time.
Don’t power up while driving uphill. Brake even lighter when going downhill.
In slippery conditions it’s a good rule to have a safe distance to the car in front of you. The car ahead might come to a non slippery part of the road, brakes and then you won’t have the chance to stop the car in time if you are driving on ice.
Make sure you are at a comfortable speed before you reach a bend or a curve for you should not brake in a curve. If you have to, then you have entered the curve in a speed too high for the situation and that is a situation where many people drive off the road.
Be informed before going on a trip. Keep up to date with the weather forecast, find out how the road conditions are between you and your destination. Remember you are on holiday. Don’t take chances.

It is one of the latest in Nancy Zieman's line of craft products, exclusively released by Clover USA. I have had it for about 2 weeks now, and I made sure to use it first before I blog about it. Guess what? I'm really happy with this product. I was looking for a thread organizer, but this one gave me a lot more. With the Stack n' Stitch Thread Tower, I don't need to change spools of threads anymore. I just set the tower next to my Janome Sew Mini, and from there I can use any thread I need.
Sewing on my cards is just a lot more convenient now. And my spools of thread are all in one spot.
WOW it looks great, just a bit afraid, it´ll soon be too small ha ha ha. From my days where I was sewing all outr clothes, I had hubby to make me one himself, that has been really awesome for many many years, and it holds both all my rolls of thread and all my spools too. I´ll take a picture of it to show you as soon as possible. It works really great too and can hold loads of all kind og rolls both the very big ones and the medium sizes and the very small ones, so I can have everything close and always see, what I have or miss on. But ofcause it depends on how many rolls you have he he he. I would probably need at least 3 of these to hold my ribbons ha ha ha, but I like it a lot, that´s for sure.
this is a super organizing tool!

Q.Why do you use synthetic trees?
A. We use synthetic trees because they offer a precise and balanced tree, which has no imperfections. The Tree moulds are designed on a cad system so are completely symmetrical and balanced.
The trees are made by our partner company Treetec from polypropylene which is a very light weight durable material. The trees all carry a ten year guarantee against breakage and twisting.
The trees are adjustable, either at the time of assembling the saddle or later as the horse changes shape and muscles up through work etc. This is a major benefit to young horses and horses that are a remedial fit especially, which can change shape many times during their development period.
Many of our approved stockists and fitters carry saddle re-templating machines which means that your saddle can be re-templated on-site without delay. Alternatively they can be returned to our factory and can be adjusted there.
Q.What is the benefit of having wool flocked serge panels?
A. Serge is a natural, breathable material and whilst it will absorb moisture and sweat it dries out very quickly allowing the flocking inside to retain its natural softness. It is soft and warm to the horses back and allows the horse greater freedom of movement through the back and shoulders. Many people see significant changes in their horses shape and movement in a very short period of time.
Q.Is it possible to have my saddle reflocked as you would a conventional saddle?
A.Yes. We use the same high quality flocking as other traditional saddle makers; this is white lambs wool in leather panels and grey synthetic in serge panels. It is important that these two types of flocking are not mixed together in the same panel. A grey flocked panel must be re-flocked with grey and a white flocked panel must be reflocked with white. The serge panels can also be regulated by a qualified Saddle Company Fitter.
Q.How much do your saddles cost?
A. Our prices fall in between full synthetic and all leather quality saddles. Please contact us for details of your nearest fitter who will advise on any prices.
Q.What materials do you use in your saddles?
A. Some of our saddles are made from a combination of leather and synthetics others are full leather. This has the benefit of making our saddles lightweight and affordable and extremely comfortable for the horse and rider.
Q.How do I look after my saddle?
A. Our saddles are very easy to maintain. The leather and synthetic models need only be treated with a leather food. You do not have to oil this saddle. On the full leather range use a combination of oil and leather food as you would on any other standard leather saddle, which should be done approximately every two weeks depending on how often you use your saddle. In between, a wipe over with a damp cloth is sufficient to keep your saddle in pristine condition. On our saddles with suede or nubuck seats and kneepads again we recommend just a wipe over with a damp cloth. We do not recommend that you use a wire suede brush on any of our products.
Q.Where can I buy one of your saddles?
A. Ring or email our factory direct and we will advise you of the nearest stockist/fitter in your area.

Nice to visit, but you wouldn’t want to live there.
Here in Colorado, we have our fair share of ghost towns. GPS and smart phones make them easier to find these days, but years ago you had to get there the old-fashioned way.
One summer day, my wife and I were exploring a decently intact ghost town deep in the mountains. The roofs of the buildings were caved in, but the storefronts were still standing. After hiking around and snapping photos, we sat on the tailgate of the Bronco to share a sandwich.
In the distance, a wispy dust cloud appeared, accompanied by the growling of a motorcycle engine.

Plumbing issues are some of the most common repairs and maintenance expenses you can have while owning a home. Although you may already have a separate fund for repairs and maintenance expenses, major plumbing repair may require more money than the usual petty repairs and maintenance works. That is why, as much as possible, you should always look for plumbing companies offering relatively cheaper rates compared to highly expensive ones. This will give you more savings in the end.
Several plumbers in Roswell GA offer plumbing services at an affordable rate. You can often find them at Roswell Area Plumbing, a quite popular plumbing company in Georgia, or other well-reputable plumbing companies in Roswell. You can ask some of your neighbors for some recommendations, just so you could assess your options. It would also be good to ask for feedback from actual users whether the services of plumbers in Roswell GA are worth every penny spent.
provide 24/7 emergency plumbing services, just like Roswell Area Plumbing. Occasionally, emergencies involving your plumbing system might happen during the wee hours of the night. The good thing about companies offering 24/7 plumbing services is that they can immediately send someone over to fix your leaking pipeline or clogged drainage system. You don’t have to wait until morning to call a plumbing company because they are readily available to assist you with your needs.
Most professional plumbers and plumbing companies offer some sort of guarantee to the customers. If they are not offering a money-back guarantee, then the guarantee can be in the form of additional plumbing services given for free.
Good plumbing companies in Roswell usually offer cheaper prices compared to other companies in the area. This means you will be able to save money while getting the best plumbing services available. You just have to make sure that the company is legit and has proven accomplishments in the past.

"In the two-hour series premiere, Josh Gates embarks on an expedition to investigate what might be the most iconic unsolved event in the world - the disappearance of Amelia Earhart during her attempt to circumnavigate the globe in 1937. Several incredible new leads in the story take Gates on an adventure through aviation history and remote areas of the world. These clues might finally lead to answers behind the greatest cold case in history."
Talk about hype! "..the most iconic unsolved event in the world? "
Josh picked up on a TIGHAR lead, crawled around under a porch and found some bones that turned out to have nothing to do with the Earhart mystery.
I won't be watching the show.
"..the most iconic unsolved event in the world?
Just goes to show you, Lincoln was right. Maybe even do it long enough to get people to tune in for an hour now and then.
I've come to believe that the vast majority of the public is more intrested in TV candy than truth anyway.
Hard to believe "reality" TV would be anything but real solid science!
If it's on TV or the internet, it has to be true, right?
I've come to believe that the vast majority of the public is more interested in TV candy than truth anyway.
Quite so, Mr. Neville sir. The term "mockumentary" seems almost over-generous to most of these efforts.
Folks, we're expecting too much out of our TV friends. Of course, they'll screw it up. But any publicity about Amelia--however inaccurate or irrelevant by our standards--is good for the TIGHAR investigation.
We just need to adjust our thinking a bit and have a little more patience (as if TIGHARs haven't been patient!!:). These whacky takes are in fact opportunities to solidify the TIGHAR brand as the only sober authority on all things Amelia.
Not the preferred or most direct method to do that, but over time very effective.
I enjoyed it for the on-the-ground video of PNG, Lae, Ribaul, and Fiji. It showed, at least, that looking for old airplanes in the Pacific can be difficult.
Is it serious, useful television? No, of course not, TV is all about ratings, not truth. Our Fearless Leader did get a bit of on-camera time but generally, TIGHAR does not get a lot of coverage here.
How can you have an Expedition Unknown? Is that supposed to be catchy, or clever? Why not just call the show Expedition Non Sequitur?
Just watched it on Demand. I thought it was great...and gave Tighar, and one Ric Gillespie, some good and deserved credibility. And it eliminated a couple of potential distracting theories. Looking forward to the results of tests on the bones found under the house. Who knows! Also keeps the mystery going without Tighar having to do it.

Update: The bet-ibc licence has been withdrawn, you can see on their site that has already been removed!!!
So your posting here had an impact.
5- You are required to provide KYC prior to your first withdrawal, meaning you have to provide a copy of your ID and a copy of a Utility bill or a Bank statement.
6- You are the only responsible to check if using our service is legal in your country.
I find it correct to have these rules, but really your issue with them have nothing to do with KYC or country eligibility.
@Arbusers Correct, it’s just to prove that I was right in every statement.
If you want I can reinsert the screenshots with the censored names.
That´s nothing more then a lie.
BET-IBC always have been and will be fully licensed.
I like to know that some reviews websites are including the link to this forum thread.
64K missing debates are happening between a Bet IBC customer and Bet IBC in this forum thread "BET-IBC SCAM EXPOSED - With proofs". We are not in the position to judge who is right though, given the lack of critical proof that Bet IBC should provide, looks it's safe for people to stay away from this bet broker."
We moderated the last post of Tennistrader to comply with forum's policies.
This action is not altering the meaning and the tenor of what is mentioned in his post.
Imo, someone must ask himself if the screenshot from the conversation with betfair provided from Bet-IBC is enough proof that Betfair voided the bets and therefore funds were not stolen from Bet-IBC.
Given that Betfair saw the relevant screenshot posted in forum and mentioned privacy data and not fake data etc, i would like to know if Tennistrader accept that Betfair indeed voided the bets. If he accept it, i would like to know how he thinks Bet-IBC should treat his case.
You are summing up the situation perfectly apoel81. Well done.
I remember all screenshots provided in this thread before arbusers deleted them.
It is obvious the decision came from Betfair and not BetIbc. The question remains. What is Tennistraders opinion right now?
If there is no opinion then we are talking about a defaming campaign against BetIbc. I don't like this agent either as their tactics are not good. But the truth must be said.
I already anticipated that. Is in the eyes of all that they are liars, so, coming from them I only accept the date of birth and the security question to confirm this transactions with betfair, my last contact with them is posted here.
I do not know if it will be too late because the authorities are already with the case in hand and betfair is not opening new sub-accounts to this broker.
I was informed that it may take 12-14 weeks.
I would like to read more about the opinions of the wisest ones, particularly on the crucial questions of this case, but since they are only contacting me in particular I am going to reduce my visit here and only post any major update.
I've read that Account-Exchange is one of your main partners. If you want to be consider legitimate, you need to expect from your partner the high quality service.
I've just experience an awful story with them and count on you to assist and help me regain my money.
1. I opened account on Betfair via Acc-Exch end of January '19, made first depo all was OK.
2. There were couple of quick-solved issues, always raised to them.
3. I requsted first withdrawal in March (so far without significant issues), Acc-Exchange processed it fully from beginning till the end.
that based on 'business ground' it has been closed permanently and money will not be refunded.
I didn't breach any of the rules they ask me to follow since I got the account.
6. After research on my own, I 've heard that some people had issues when Acc-Exch logged on their own to make a withdrawal from Betfair. It seems that they do not care about IP issues and simply Betfair consider it as breaching the policy of theirs. As a consequence I've lost around 600E and when I checked the last status, progress with them today they replied on chat: "non-sense to discuss as was your mistake, betfair will never close without reason, we gave you fully verified account, and active, what you did after is under your responsibility" and closed the chat.
It shows how they respect the client ! That's an absurd. What's more they didn't even dig more with BF to find out the real root-cause of that.
I STRONGLY DISRECOMMEND to all of users of this forum - your partner and count on your assistance in that issue!
I was wondering what is the connection between Tennistrader and tennis-trader.
Also, it seems this last post is written in a way that resembles to a personal letter. It also leaves questions in regards to who is partnering who.
I do not have any connection with the main author of the topic. I've wanted to share with you my story.
IF there is anyway I may prove that it's totally separate one, Admin - please let me know.
as it was the only purpose I create it.
On the other hand if you decide to leave it, I would much appreciate the BET-IBC to provide me with their feedback on that.
to proof the truth of my incident.

At Housetohome we all have very different tastes (which makes for lively inter-office debate) but every so often a product, style, or film comes along that we all instantly agree on. Step forward The Great Gatsby.
but when we saw these pre-release film stills we just had to share.
The glitz! The glamour! Leonardo DiCaprio dressed head to toe in dapper 1920’s-style attire! There are so many things to fall in love with. We’ve had a little glimpse of the fabulously OTT film sets and have decided to dedicate this week’s hot shopping to Art Deco style.
1 The delicate detailing on this china put us in mind of the fabulous jewels that Carey Mulligan spends most of the film draped in. If we cant have the pearls and tiaras we’ll take the sugar bowl. Mikasa precious gem sugar bowl, £30, Milly’s Store.
2 Cocktails. Possibly the most important accessory of the roaring twenties. We salute the era that knew how to party with this chic monochrome martini glass. Metallic fade cocktail glass, £10, John Lewis.
3 Where to rest the afore-mentioned cocktail glass? We suggest an Art Deco-style mirrored side table such as this chic little number. ‘Clara’ Art Deco side table, £335, Out There Interiors.
4 How would Daisy Buchanan dress her sofa? We’re guessing she’d plump for a generous scattering of cushions, like this one inspired by the geometric shapes of The Great Gatsby era. Caraway square scatter cushion, £20, Made.com.

(L-R, 2nd row) Actors Austin Peck, Trent Dawson, Van Hansis, (L-R, front row) executive producer Christopher Goutman, actors Don Hastings, Kathy Hays, Eileen Fulton, Colleen Zenk, Terry Colombino, and writer Jean Passanante attend a farewell to cast of 'As The World Turns' at The Paley Center for Media on August 18, 2010 in New York City.
It's the last go-round for "As the World Turns."
TV's oldest daytime drama aired its final episode Friday, concluding a run that began in April 1956.
Always full of emotional turmoil, "World" was set in the mythical town of Oakdale, Ill., where there was no shortage of couplings, heartbreak, double-dealing and hairpin plot twists.
CBS announced in December that it was pulling the plug on the New York-based show, which ranked at the bottom of the ratings among network soaps. It wrapped production in June.
Big events this week included Jack (Michael Park) remarrying oft-wed Carly (Maura West). Janet (Julie Pinson) gave birth to her ex-husband Jack's son. Then a DNA test revealed the father of the child was really Janet's betrothed, Dusty (Grayson McCouch). And - more joyous news - Carly learned she was pregnant with Jack's child.
"I think things turned out exactly the way they were supposed to," Janet said.
Friday's finale found Dr. Bob Hughes (played for a half-century by Don Hastings) in a reflective mood as he prepared to retire at day's end as head of Oakdale Memorial Hospital.
"I was just thinking about this place," he mused - "how many patients I've taken care of here, some of them from their first breath (dramatic pause) to their last."
"Good night," said Dr. Bob at the close of the hour, as he doused the lights of his office and took his leave. On his desk, an illuminated globe was seen spinning at the poignant fade-out.
The demise of "World" follows by a year the end of CBS' "Guiding Light" after 72 years on radio, then TV.
On Oct. 18, CBS will fill the slot "World" occupied with "The Talk," a daily chat show whose hosts include Julie Chen and Sharon Osbourne.

The NR F1 Podcast – recorded in the county that gave the world Team Lotus, Martin Brundle and a training ground to the likes of Ayrton Senna and Mark Webber – brings a familiar face into their 2017 build-up.
Let’s get the 2017 season previewed from the same room Jake Humphrey sorts his morning cuppa.
Presenter and sports journalist Michael Bailey is trusted to enter the Norfolk home of the former BBC Formula 1 host and TV presenter, to look ahead to the new season – and see if Humphrey misses being part of the circus.
The BT Sport front man lays into shark fins, yearns for some proper competitive action and hails Daniel Ricciardo – when Michael somehow manages to resist correcting his pronunciation.
The NR F1 Podcast gets together in Norwich to send Norfolk’s views on the latest Formula 1 action out across the world.
From Team Lotus to Snetterton, Martin Brundle to the racing development of Ayrton Senna, Mark Webber, Jonny Herbert and more, Norfolk knows F1 – and wants to discuss it with you.
The pod has already made its 2017 predictions, and will soon return with their review of the action in Melbourne following the season-opening Australian Grand Prix on Sunday.

A Saturday morning unfolds with a moment of relaxation before exploring the sights and sounds of historic Old Montreal. A stroll through stone architecture amidst modern designs sets the stage for a day of discovery.
Eager to enjoy some casual local fare, the discovery of a quaint café such as Olive et Gourmando, is welcomed. With smoked salmon on a bagel and a cityscape view by the water’s edge, a moment of indulgence takes over, but the urge to explore soon resurfaces.
Cobblestone walkways lead to inviting shops and restaurants. A farmer’s market and a festival of dance, art and music come to life. It becomes a cocktail of culture and cuisine. Nearby, the sounds of laughter fill the air at Clock Tower Beach, where a vacation atmosphere brings an opportunity to people watch.
As the sun sets over the St. Lawrence River, a walk to Gibby’s for cocktails in a 200-year-old building seems like the perfect idea.
The essence of Old Montreal: a feel-good place of North American culture blended with European charm.

Is Advertising a Good Investment During a Downed Economy?
Whenever the economy goes south, consumers naturally tighten their budgets and reduce spending on most goods and services across the board. This would indicate in just about every facet that advertising budgets would drop, too. But in the last recession, many large corporations opted to increase their advertising budget heading into the downed economy. Kraft, Procter & Gamble, and Kellogg are among the big names of big spenders that decided a downed economy could be a good reason to increase ad spending.
One of the main decisions behind the decision by these big companies to increase ad spending during a recession is hidden in a 2004 report published by the American Association of Advertising. The report said that advertising generally has an outcome on financial success for up to three years following the initial investment. Combining that with the fact that the report found increased spending during a down economy usually reaps bigger rewards than increased spending during a good economy, you are able to find the reasoning that these big advertisers had.
One reason that increased advertising during a recession is a good investment is that doing essentially paints the company as “strong” and durable to the recession. Not only does it work well in the eyes of the consumer, but employees too benefit from the idea that they’re working in a strong environment. It’s essentially being optimistic about the future, and company shareholders also recognize this.
Companies that decide to cut their advertising budget during a recession usually end up seeing the negative results in their stock prices. The decreased visibility, along with the increased visibility of their competitors, lets to the big spenders gaining a big chunk of market share.
If the economy causes an entire street of supermarkets to reduce hours, yet one supermarket opens early and closes late, it’s a no brainer that more and more customers will abandon their current supermarket for the stronger one. The same goes for companies that increase ad spending during a downed economy; they’re essentially filling the space left by other companies that have cut their advertising budgets, leading to increased visibility and likely higher market share and sales down the road. And don’t think once the economy recovers that customers will flock back to their old supermarket, because once they’ve switched brands they will have little motivation to switch back.
Companies that increase their advertising budget during a recession are smart if they adapt their message, too. During the last recession, we saw companies like Starbucks try and shift their message to reflect more value-oriented ideals. Starbucks, the home of the $5 coffee, tried advertising $1 coffees in certain markets.
Increasing ad spending during a recession is something done to reach long term goals, and it’s no secret that a good majority of companies wouldn’t be able to afford it. But the ones that do end up prospering. Finding investment books About Ken Fisher can help explain the idea of investing in a downed economy, as it usually is high-risk, high-reward.

Tell me, Dr. Welby, what took my uncle’s life who had emphysema and never smoked a day in his life? Pal, you just need to worry about yourself and your family. Go to work, pay your taxes, be happy and don’t worry about everyone else’s business. You’ll probably live a longer life and be a better person for it.
I live in a development off Rt. 14. Are they going to put a bypass in if they build that school in Streetsboro? If people think traffic is bad in town now, wait until they have a 20 mph speed limit. We’re asking for trouble putting it there. Someone needs to re-evaluate. And the elderly and homeowners can no longer stand any more increase in taxes.
How sad it is that KSU has selected Allerton Street as its site for a new dump. First came the dirt, now slabs of broken concrete sidewalk, dead trees, old barrels, useless snow fence. Let’s extend the Esplanade to Allerton Street so Kent can view another part of the campus.
You Tea Party folks have nothing but phonies and hypocrites up there on Capitol Hill. You’re no different than the rest of them. You’ll condemn the health plan, Social Security, etc., but you’ll accept your pensions and health care for the rest of your life!
I don’t know how this paper can continue to print lies, distortions and delusional comments in a local paper that several hundred people read. You need to start printing the truth and the facts. There was a Sound Off today about the Republican Party in Ravenna and Portage County and the disrepair of the city of Ravenna. This person obviously does not know its history. It has been under Democratic rule for 100 years.
RC editor, this is for you. Looks like a big controversy over there at WNIR. Haven’t seen anything in the RC. Got scooped again by the Beacon. Have a nice morning.
I don’t understand why people leave Ravenna to go to Lake Milton. All they have down there are a few fishing boats and a causeway. If you get off the causeway off Rt. 18, it looks absolutely terrible. Like a ghetto. Just like Ravenna. People running away from their problems to another like area is not going to solve your problems. Rootstown, Brimfield, Atwater are the same.

Sabina and her daughter Mariana’s seafood stand in Ensenada is one of the classic West Coast foodie bites, and absolute must visit when in town.
The tostadas that combined freshly shucked oyster and clam with octopus and other creatures of the sea that were delicious and deserving of my research: I am from the East Coast and we don’t have many of these species.
However at La Guerrerense instead of Googling them I couldn’t stop eating them.

Unfortunately, ScriptTank’s spring-summer term will not be starting this week, as we originally planned.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, our new venue won’t be available.
We are hoping to start readings again later in May, with a traditional Shorts Night.
Once we are able to schedule readings, we will announce the dates.
We are sorry about the delay, but our new home will be worth the wait.
A couple of years ago, we implemented a rule requiring members to attend at least two readings in a term to qualify for a reading in the following term.
We realise that many of you have been unable to attend meetings regularly – if at all – since we lost our home at The Blue Posts.
Because of that, this attendance rule is being waived.
Any full member of ScriptTank can ask for their work to be read this term.
If you haven’t had a piece read in a while, now’s a good time to bring something in.
New members of ScriptTank still have to attend three readings before they can have a night. However, you are welcome to have works read during any Short Nights held before then.
ScriptTank will be returning later this month.
While we are continuing to meet at The Wheatsheaf pub (25 Rathbone Place, London, W1T 1DG), we’ve had to change our meetings to sporadic Mondays.
We are searching out for a second venue, which will allow us to return to a fortnightly schedule. Please subscribe to the blog, or join our Facebook group for further details.
We will continue to meet at 6:45 for a 7pm start. There is a £3 fee for all members attending the reading.
If you are interested in joining ScriptTank, please contact us. Please remember you will need to attend at least two readings during this season to have your script read in our summer 2017 season.
If you are a current member and would like would a slot, please email Esther.
On Wednesday afternoon, Radio 4 will be putting on The Bone Orchard by one of ScriptTank’s veteran member, the award-winning Kate Lock.
In The Bone Orchard, Sue returns home to Liverpool for her parents’ wedding anniversary and is forced to face a secret from her father’s past and the truth about their relationship.
The Bone Orchard will be on Radio 4 2.15pm on Wednesday, 7 December. And it’ll be available on the BBC iPlayer for a week afterwards.
Also, Katharine Way’s latest episode of Doctors – The Invisible Woman – was broadcast on Tuesday, 6 December. It will be on the iPlayer for another month.

For many, as it did with me, this book will beckon you from the bookseller’s shelf; an explosive title befitting an incredible process involving upwards of 400 journalists in 80 countries culminating with simultaneous coverage breaking worldwide at 20:00hrs GMT on Sunday 3 April 2016 (note to impatient lawyers: that happens at p 327).
Park the moral indignation about theft of personal information and enjoy the thriller ride involving Central America, offshore jurisdictions, despots, dictators, celebrities, sports stars, politicians, Swiss bankers and the son of a Rottenführer in the Waffen-SS that became an apparently bad CIA informant.
The sheer volume of material is, in some senses, the undoing of this book by the two German journalists at the heart of this ground-breaking collaborative effort. They wrote in dawn shifts and sometimes it shows; parts of this amazing history are slightly repetitive. ‘Project Prometheus’ covers factually quite complex wealth structuring narrative – rather the point of the book – and its attempts to make the concepts accessible to the (dare I say) non-lawyer are not always completely accurate. The eventual name of ‘Panama Papers’ for the largest known data theft of all time is taken from the ‘Pentagon Papers’, the publication of US Ministry of Defence secret papers in 1971.
