    Alfred Hitchcock the Masterpiece Collection I have one of the two blueray sets. Very nicely packaged, individual sleeves, reading material for each move, slipcase. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CQTI9HY/ Here we have 14 films from his later period when he was in his prime. Some of these are among the best films every made. All of them are at least great, in my opinion. 1) 'Saboteur' (1942) Priscilla Lane Robert Cummings 2) 'Shadow of Doubt' (1943) Joseph Cotton Teresa Wright 3) 'Rope' (1948) Jimmy Stewart John Dall 4) 'Rear Window' (1954) Jimmy Stewart Grace Kelley 5) 'The Trouble With Harry' (1955) Shirley MacLaine John Fors…

    https://www.independent.co.uk/space/planet-9-nine-solar-system-b2530985.html "Scientists say they have found new evidence that there is a hidden planet in our solar system. For years, some astronomers have been suggesting that unusual behaviour on the edge of our solar system is best explained by another, undiscovered planet. That helps explain the orbits of objects that lie at the very far reaches of our solar system, more than 250 times away from the Sun than we are. Now Konstantin Bogytin, an astronomer who helped popularise the theory, says that he and his team have found yet more evidence that suggests that planet exists. The new work represen…

  10. For some time my Dell laptop (i5-8300H 2.3Ghz) has been very sluggish when I've been using PFPX to generate flight plans. It was frustrating as I couldn't work out what the cause was. Yesterday I found the culprit. NGFMSAgent.exe running to advise of updates to their AIRAC updates. It was easily the most demanding executable in Task Manager. But why? I had already installed the latest AIRAC data. Looking at settings I had the Notification slider at 6 hours. I'm not sure why I would need it to check that often especially when Aivlasoft's EFB show a warning when a new cycle is required. So I've stopped this program running at Windows startup and PFPX (plus everyth…

    HI, I'm reaching out to askfor if anyone can help. I purchased the excellent A320 Cadet Training programme set from Airline2sim a few years ago, but today have discovered that they are no longer available online. I am booked to visit Airbus in Hamburg soon for two days of simulator experience and desperatly need to revisit the training program, having endured a forced break from siming with the equally excellent Fslabs A320, due to ill health. The A320 Cadet series will help me get my previous knowledge back in time for this family gift of a trip to Airbus.. If anyone was wise enough to download the content, is there any possibility that you could let me ha…

  24. United Airlines flight from Austin to San Francisco. Preflight: Arriving two hours late, the pilot announced to passengers over the intercom: "“I won’t fly the airplane,” she began, assuring passengers that the co-pilot would fly it instead. She then asked passengers to vote on whether or not they could take off with her dressed as is or give her time to change into her “cute little uniform.” ...According to a passenger who gave a statement to Inside Edition, the female pilot talked about her divorce and political candidates. https://www.the-express.com/travel/travel-news/109610/pilot-meltdown-plane-divorce
