On September 27, 1943, Nazi Germany invaded the city of Naples, in southern Italy. The Neapolitan people were really tired of being subjected to the orders and atrocities of the Nazis, so they started a rebellion. They fought with everything they had, and even ambushed them by throwing furniture from the balconies over the German soldiers. After 4 grueling days, the Germans, tired and unmotivated by the courage and anger of the people of Naples, withdrew.
I was fourteen at the time, and like a dopey teenager, ended up losing all of the photos, which were probably captioned. I don't even know what to try googling to find it. I'd really like to visit when I'm in Europe in a couple months.
My brother (57) and I (66) did a 4-day Pemi loop from September 30th through October 3rd.
Conditions: daytime temps in the 40s and 50s (4 - 15 C). Night time lows in the mid 30s to mid 40s (1 - 7 C). Light but continuous rain on the first two days, heavier rain on the second 2 days. Strong winds above tree line, somewhere in the range of 20 to 40 miles an hour.
Day one: drive to Lincoln Woods trailhead. Hike to Liberty Springs tent sites. Once we gained some altitude we entered the cloud bank that we would stay in for the next 4 days. The night time forecast was for temps in the high twenties. We decided to both jam into a Fly Creek UL 2 in order to try and stay warm. The temps didn't get below freezing that night so we were fine, but lots of condensation added to the wetness from hiking in the rain.
Day two: hike from Liberty Springs tent sites to Garfield shelter. Today's hike was up and over Franconia Ridge with continual fog moving at high speed horizontally and rain (see video). We did get occasional views but the fog would quickly close in after a minute or two. There were a surprising number of day hikers up on the ridge.
Day three: hike from Garfield shelter to Guyot shelter. The first part of the hike was down a combination stream/trail. This was tricky climbing on slippery boulders. We stopped at Gailhead Hut for some wonderful snacks and then grunted our way up South Twin.
Day four: Guyot shelter to Lincoln Woods trailhead. The wind was howling above tree line on Mt Bond and Bondcliff. We did get some breaks in the clouds so we could catch short glimpses of the neighboring peaks and valleys. Once we came off of Bondcliff the trail became less steep and less rocky but a whole lot muddier.
Lessons learned:
This was the hardest backpacking that I've done. The trails are really steep and full of big rocks, mud and tree roots. You have to watch where you put your foot every single step.
The AMC shelters are a lot of fun, lots of hikers and easy camaraderie. Do bring good earplugs since there will be a snoring symphony when you try to sleep.
Focus on quick drying clothes instead of waterproof clothes. I tried to focus on bringing lightweight quick drying clothing. For the most part it worked out really well. The capiline shirts, the alpha direct, the airshed, my socks and the freeflex pants all dried pretty quickly from my body heat once I got out of the

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 61%. (I'm a bot)
> The number of NHS staff in London absent due to covid has more than doubled in four days, and one in three of the workforce would be absent by New Year's Eve if the growth rate continues.
> As of Thursday 5.5 per cent of London NHS staff were absent - for both covid-related or other reasons - up from 3.8 per cent on Sunday.
> Although London is bearing the brunt of the Omicron wave, trusts around the country are drawing up plans to deal with a sharp jump in staff absence.
> One national NHS leader said he was working on the basis of 20 per cent staff absence, another added that 30 per cent was their worst case scenario.
> Asked about the data, NHS England pointed to guidance issued this week which asked trusts to prepare for workforce pressures, including to "Consider contingency options for significant staff absences to ensure essential services can be maintained".
> NHS England London said: "The Omicron variant is spreading rapidly in London and this is affecting all Londoners, including NHS staff, which is leading to higher levels of staff absence and teams are working hard to minimise any impact from this and to work flexibly during this time. Londoners should continue to seek healthcare when they need it and can help us by going to NHS111 online first when it's not an emergency, or by speaking with a pharmacist for non-urgent advice."

So far, I requested an appeals using their Google form and also tweeted to help escalate my complaint. I'm just shocked this is how they treat human beings. We're not machines.. at the least treat us like human beings and offer a chance to improve rather than throw them under the bus over complaints from 4 of the 58 deliveries I made (a whopping 6.9% negative reviews). I'm looking for any advice or what to expect. I just found it unusual they would be so quick to discard me as a delivery driver over 4 bad reviews on my first 3 days.
Staying @ La Playa Golf resort (thanks mom!), rented a car, and looking to play 4-6 rounds of golf. I'm a 23.5 handicap that either plays like an 18 or a 30, depending on how forgiving the course might be...
I grabbed a lot of recommendations from countless threads in this sub, just checking for any feedback before booking.
Did I miss anything?
Should I play any certain course in the morning or afternoon?
Thank you
updated w/ booked schedule:
- 2/26 Wed - La Playa
- 2/27 Thu - Valencia & Panther Run
- 2/28 Fri - Flamingo Island & Mustang
- 2/29 Sat - Raptor Bay
Alrighty cheeseheads I' m doing a physics project where I describe the forces at work in sports, obviously I chose the green and gold as a demonstration of the physics of football. I wanna demonstrated Newtons third/second laws with a clip of one of our glorious RB's trucking a guy, but while I love watching Dillon carry 6 defenders with him, It would be much easier to explain if it was just a clear view of one of our our boys trucking a single defender in the open field. Anyone got a video? Thanks! GPG!
