The Government docs say only in stage 3

I saw a schedule which shows that "Ecommerce and delivery services" are only at Level 3. edit: I'm also waiting for CWC to deliver mine.

I Nav-ed the Race for Rhinos air race held at Kubu Island on the Makgadigadi pans in Botswana. No GPS to be used; map, compass, and stopwatch only. It is completely featureless and the maps show the pans in blue as being water, but they were as dry as my booze cabinet in the fourth week of the lockdown so what looked like a landmark was completely indistinguishable from the surrounding areas. We did OK because I flew before GPS was a viable alternative. Some guys in their RVs who had never pulled a map after getting doing their PPL nav tests and spent their lives following the "magenta line", really suffered. One crew from the Kempton Park Flying Club got completely lost (or spent the first morning "unsure of their position" if you believed the conversation at the after party) and got DQ'ed despite their ATPLs.

If I had a choice to make, I'd rather miss Sani2C for one year and have a trainer for life.

Willie Ek is te dom om hierdie prentjie te verstaan. Can you give us an idea of what your workout was ?

Is which section would I find it ?

The bad news is the price, the good news is it is out of stock ...;-)

Beautiful build, very droolworthy... One question, perhaps to Mr Momsen, where can I get a slider with a hanger like that ?

You can trade height for speed and speed for height but you need juice to get you one or the other in the first place. So I'd say D

Aware of that, and I hope you are right but AIG was to big to fail and yet it did. Lots of people who thought they were covered found out too late that the cover wasn't worth the paper it was written on. I wonder which underwriter or reinsurer has reserves to cover and survive the CONCURRENT cancellation of the Olympics, the F1 season, the NFL, NBA, English and European football leagues, 6 Nations, US Masters and 20 PGA golf events each with a budget dwarfing that of Epic, Wimbledon, the other 3 Grand slams and all other tennis events, probably Giro and possibly TdF, etc, etc. whilst the global economy contracts drastically at the same time? In this context Epic and IM are minnows. The total Epic budget would struggle to buy a 30 second advertising slot during the Super Bowl, at $9.2million a minute. And that is just sporting events. Add to that entertainment - Glastonbury and all other music concerts, theater show runs, etc. In a wurst käse scenario even the Munich Oktoberfest. May the same co- and re-insurers not also be on the hook for covering losses in industries other than events ? Credit guarantees will be called upon as hundreds of thousands of business go to the wall globally. Travel insurance as flights are cancelled and airlines and hotel groups go bust. Unemployment insurance as millions lose their jobs. Professional liability insurance as class action scumbags start suing the doctors and hospitals that failed to save people's loved ones (can almost guarantee this will be tried on), This is not likely to be one house burning down or even all houses in St Francis burning down, but all houses in many places and many houses everywhere burning down. All at the same time. I hope I am wrong but I think the insurance industry will be hard hit. ps. If there is any consolation to me it is that I am not a Lloyd's name......

For what that may be worth. Recall that the 2008 financial crises went from a trickle to catastrophe when it became clear that AIG (who insured the banks against counterparty credit default) was incapable of meeting the claims. There were just too many of them and when AIG went bust, so did everyone who had believed they were covered, and the the rest followed. I suspect that no insurance underwriter foresaw this level of cancellation and am sure none has the resources to deal with it.

Message I received from out team captain: Good day, In the light of the current COVID-19 pandemic and the ban on gatherings over 100 people enforced by government, the 2020 Cycle Lab Maluti Double 90 powered by Biogen will be postponed until further notice. We are not going to cancel the event but adopt the mindset of waiting until we are able to put the event on. This means that all current entries remain active until a new date can be confirmed. Due to the cost of the event, no refunds will be given to teams who decide to cancel their entry but we hope that no-one will need to cancel their entry. If a team cannot make the event on the new date then they have the option of doing a substitution at no cost or, if not able to find a substitute team, unfortunately their entry will be forfeited. We pledge to give at least 2 months warning as to when a new date will be promulgated. Right now we have no guidance on a new date as we must wait until the various gathering restrictions have been relaxed. We do understand the frustration for everyone with the pandemic unfolding but we ask for patience as we do our best to find a suitable alternative date, which will depend on availability on calendars, venues etc. We ensure riders that we are doing our best to honour the event and the entries the best we can.

Yip, they told us last time and ofcourse there was load shedding so the speedpoints couldn't link via the cellular network. We paid on way out.

I caught a cold the week before the race, maybe they could have the race on the first Sunday of March instead....

Before Corona (when there was still an airline industry) I wonder whether they could have leased (sommer with crew if needed) some of these to airlines that had their schedules ruined by the 737Max grounding.. No chance now.

I didn't know that US Navy pilots went in for facelifts and botox…...

^^^^^ This ^^^^^ And it happened exactly like that to me I can attest that there are evil people out there who will purposely use you to settle a score, and will lose no sleep about the devastation they cause or relationships they manage to destroy.

If the price is good, I'll gladly fly on a Max once returned to service. I won't let my daughters do so though.....

Counsel for OUTA and SAA Pilots union in the Dudu Myeni delinquent director case argued this morning that the financial benefits of the Emirates and the Airbus swap deals, both of which Myeni obstructed and sunk, would have led to SAA being profitable by 2017 and solvent now....

At age 28 Mo Farah went from never better that 6th in any world competition to the most successful distance of all time between 2012 (when he joined Salazar) and 2017 which is EXACTLY the period Salazar was bust for...... https://swiftgirlathletics.wordpress.com/2019/10/01/without-alberto-salazar-would-we-even-know-mo-farahs-name/ Coincidence ? Yeah, right....

Ironically, it was the other way round. When Boeing had competition in the form of McDonnal-Douglas they built great planes. Boeing then bought M-D as the latter had big defence contracts and in a twist of corporate fate, the M-D executives started running the enlarged business - no longer as the Boeing engineers did, but as the Wall street MBA equipped accountants they were. Shareholder returns became the driving force rather than engineering excellence.. .

If I were the pilot, I'd have the hostile bring me the Bells as the doors open, and rather settle for someone picking up my laundry bill....

First post on this thread, just heard this again: Been a favourite for 40 years....

It is also, as far as I can tell, the only sport where you start with your feet level but finish with your outstretched hand. A short guy effectively had to swim further than a tall one and in a race decided by milliseconds, that must have been the difference on many occasions.

Come to think of it, it would make the ideal Spanbou event...….
