Walking Thoughts

  The tower is famously referenced in the history of East London's criminal underworld. In early 1968, a rival gang plot orchestrated by Micky Dixons set an ambush to assassinate the infamous gangster Reggie Kray right outside the lifts of Albert Bigg Point, where he was reportedly visiting a woman. While Reggie never showed up and survived the hit, this historical event has been detailed in several  Kray Twins true crime documentaries, historical deep-dives,  Because Albert Bigg Point sits directly along the Greenway in Stratford, its exterior and the surrounding concrete pathways are frequently captured in the background of London-based productions. It provides a distinct post-war, brutalist aesthetic. The building often appears as unintentional "B-roll" footage (background video) when television crews film transitional shots or drone footage of the East London skyline, the near-adjacent ArcelorMittal Orbit, or the London Olympic Stadium.

  Yes. I dug into the peer-reviewed literature rather than relying on the promotional claims around the technology. The picture is  much more interesting—and much less clear-cut—than “flying turbines are cheaper because the wind is better.” My conclusion is: The scientific evidence strongly supports the  resource advantage  of airborne wind. It does not yet provide equally strong evidence that airborne wind is cheaper than conventional wind at commercial scale. And for the  zeppelin/aerostat version specifically , the evidence is considerably thinner than for kite/aircraft-based AWE. 1. The high-altitude wind advantage is real This is the strongest part of the case. A peer-reviewed study by Bechtle et al. in  Renewable Energy  analysed seven years of ERA5 atmospheric data across Europe. It found that, compared with harvesting at conventional wind-turbine hub heights, accessing higher altitudes could roughly  double the wind-power density available...

  Ann was robbed of her teddy bear who had been her life long support as she lay dying in the hospice at thorpe Hall. Ann was not given her medication for her bipolar disorder so her last two weeks were marked by the return of her suffering from bipolar without the balancing effect of her lithium medication. Ann died in a shared room.  The other woman in the room died first. This was most distressing for Ann, As it brought home the reality that she was to die herself very soon. Ann Experienced this distress without the buffer of her lithium, so she experienced it with the full force of her bipolar. This was very distressing for everyone, For Ann, and for me. Ann was sedated on ketamine for the last 2 1/2 weeks of her life. So ann died of starvation under sedation, Not of the cancer which was killing her. She died without her beloved bear, Donald, Without the MEDS that controlled her bipolar disorder, And without food. That is why I do not support the sue ryder hospice at Thorp...

  I make this biography for my mum. Could you make a similar biography for Dorothy L Sayers That's a lovely format. It reads almost like a museum exhibition panel—concise enough to absorb quickly, but detailed enough to tell the story of a life. Dorothy L. Sayers deserves exactly that treatment because her life was every bit as interesting as one of her mysteries. Here's a version in the same style and chronology. Dorothy L. Sayers Author Scholar Playwright Translator 1893 BORN    AGE 0 Born on  13 June 1893  in Oxford, England, the only child of the Rev. Henry Sayers and Helen Mary Sayers. Raised in the rectory at Bluntisham, Cambridgeshire, Dorothy received an unusually broad education for a girl of her generation, learning French, Latin and music from an early age. 1912 OXFORD UNIVERSITY    AGE 19 Dorothy won a scholarship to Somerville College, Oxford, where she studied Medieval French. Although she completed her degree with first-class honours in 1915, Oxford did not...
