Flights in and out of Britain will be disrupted for days, the U.K. government said on Tuesday, after a technical issue with the country's air traffic control system left thousands of passengers stranded abroad or facing severe delays. From a report: Around 280 flights were canceled on Tuesday, about 5 percent of the total scheduled to leave or arrive in Britain, according to Cirium, an aviation analytics company, compounding travel woes for British holidaymakers after more than a thousand flights were canceled the day before. The trouble came at a particularly busy time for travelers in Britain, many of whom were returning home from summer vacation or long weekends because Monday was a public holiday in the country. "The timing was not at all helpful for people," Mark Harper, the government minister responsible for transport policy, told the BBC on Tuesday morning. "It's disrupted thousands of people. Lots of flights were canceled yesterday because of the imperative to keep the system working safely, and it is going to take some days to

In the modern football ecosystem, where transfer stories swirl endlessly, Tottenham is staking its claim. They’re making waves, plotting a £50m gamble on Nottingham Forest’s talisman, Brennan Johnson. But as always in the labyrinth of transfer negotiations, there’s more to this story than meets the eye. Whispers and Winds from Nottingham Last week, the undercurrents of the transfer market hinted at Spurs’ intent. The word from The Daily Mail had it that the North London outfit was inching closer to sealing the deal for Johnson. And this isn’t a mere monetary transaction. Rumour mills churn out stories of a player exchange, keeping the fans on tenterhooks. A Welshman in London? Johnson isn’t merely a player, but a symbol. The Wales international has dazzled fans across the Premier League. Ange Postecoglou, the Spurs’ tactician, might just see him as the missing link. With the transfer window’s sands running out, a resolution, one way or the other, is imminent. A Defender’s Tale: Adarabioyo in the Fray But wait, Tottenham’s market manoeuvres don’t end there. They are also courting Fulham’s defensive stalwart, Tosin Adarabioyo. A player whose stock is high enough that even Monaco is extending their hand for a dance. Shoring Up

Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday August 26, 2023 @09:44PM from the in-Scotland-afore-ye dept. "Hundreds of monster hunters equipped with drones and infrared cameras have gathered in the Scottish Highlands with a singular goal," reports the Washington Post: "to be the ones to finally find the Loch Ness monster." But it won't be easy. On Saturday, the rain was lashing and the skies were gray, hampering visibility in the search for the folkloric creature, affectionately known as Nessie. The mythical monster, which legend says lives in a freshwater lake in Scotland, has eluded capture, or any definitive proof of existence, since its first recorded sighting in the 6th century. But trying to find Nessie is an age-old tradition, and the volunteer hunters who showed up Saturday are dedicated — and better equipped than those who came before. The search for the monster, organized over two days by the local Loch Ness Center in Inverness, is the biggest in a half-century, and certainly the most high-tech. Some people drove hours to be here, while others flew in from overseas... The Loch Ness Center launched the event — which it called "The Quest" — in partnership with Loch Ness Exploration, a research group

Posted by EditorDavid on Sunday August 27, 2023 @03:34AM from the we-built-this-city dept. An anonymous reader shared this report from the New York: In 2017, Michael Moritz, a billionaire venture capitalist, sent a note to a potential investor about what he described as an unusual opportunity: a chance to invest in the creation of a new California city. The site was in a corner of the San Francisco Bay Area where land was cheap. Moritz and others had dreams of transforming tens of thousands of acres into a bustling metropolis that, according to the pitch, could generate thousands of jobs and be as walkable as Paris or the West Village in New York. He painted a kind of urban blank slate where everything from design to construction methods and new forms of governance could be rethought. And it would all be a short distance from San Francisco and Silicon Valley... Since then, a company called Flannery Associates has been buying large plots of land in a largely agricultural region 60 miles northeast of San Francisco. The company, which has little information public about its operations, has committed more than $800 million to secure thousands of acres of farmland, court documents

‘The Island In Me’ – Talcual Films’ feature-length documentary about the atoll of Pukapuka – premieres this week at Cinequest Film and Creativity Festival in Mountain View, CA. The screening coincides with the release of an evocative music album composed by the People of Pukapuka and Nassau in collaboration with GRAMMY Award-winning composer and producer Todd Sickafoose. ‘The Island In Me (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)” was released on August 11, 2023, by Secret Hatch Records and available on all digital platforms. Music lovers, ethnomusicologists, and aficionados of a cappella hymns will find themselves delighted with sounds rarely heard outside the archipelago. Sickafoose, who composed the score for the film, shared “we aspired to create a feeling of openness that was oceanic – a sense of infinity – because that’s what you see in these images.” The album came out of a community collaboration and desire to showcase the voices of the atoll alongside Sickafoose’s score. The production team places vital emphasis on staying true to the historical traditions of Pukapuka’s musical culture. For the film and album, Hawaii-based Director/Producer Gemma Cubero del Barrio worked closely with the island. “The whole project—from organizing a sports day to using drone and underwater footage from

Tottenham’s Pursuit of Rising Stars Brennan Johnson: Tottenham’s New Target? Tottenham Hotspur now seem to be at the forefront of securing Nottingham Forest’s jewel, Brennan Johnson. As reported by 90min, Spurs are edging ahead in the race, pipping both Chelsea and Brentford to the post. It’s clear that Forest views Johnson as invaluable, with a hefty £50m tag dangling around the Welsh international. And though they’re not necessarily eager to see their homegrown talent depart, the financial implications of such a sale would certainly aid in balancing their Financial Fair Play metrics. While Johnson remains loyal to his City Ground roots, there’s chatter suggesting he’s not closed off to new horizons. While Brentford’s earlier approach didn’t capture his attention, the allure of Chelsea and particularly Tottenham, resonates differently. The magnetism of aligning with Spurs and the opportunity to work alongside Ange Postecoglou seems a particularly persuasive element for Johnson and his advisors. Yet, as things unfold, Tottenham’s current offer hasn’t met Forest’s ambitious £50m expectation. The path to finalising this potential transfer before the looming deadline remains convoluted.
