The problem with filtering people like that is they could be posting all sorts of slander and if you are not aware of it then you are not in a position to do anything about it ---------! I do ignore it most of the time - as you can see.:-)

Good news for FLYB and regional airports.
Travellers shun Heathrow
bmi regional is reporting a surge in travellers wanting to fly from regional airports.
The airline says passengers are shunning Heathrow and Gatwick because they are fed up of delays, long journey times getting to the airport and the high cost of additional extras, such as parking.
On Sunday, Heathrow reported delays to 25% of outgoing flights and18% of incoming flights, because of bad weather.
bmi regional CEO Cathal O'Connell said "The chaotic scenes we witnessed at Heathrow over the weekend rarely happen at other airports.
"Heathrow and Gatwick are working at capacity and travelling to and from them is often stressful and time consuming."
Waiting times and security checks are often much shorter at regional airports, while parking is more convenient and cheaper.
Baggage carousel waiting time at Heathrow is 29 minutes 29 seconds, while carousel waiting time at Manchester is half that, according to statistics.
O'Connell added: "Increasingly we're seeing consumers opt for the regional option, citing less stressful check-in processes, more pleasant journey times to the airport and cheaper parking closer to the airport as some of the main reasons
"Flying from regional airports will really cut down on parking charges - and the parking is much closer to the airport so saves time.
"Bristol is amongst the cheapest in the UK for on-site seven-day parking offering rates from just £29. At Birmingham Airport, you can literally walk to the long term car park in 10 minutes - less time than it takes to get to the short term car park in Heathrow."

UN: We botched response to the Ebola outbreak
inShare
Friday - 10/17/2014, 11:04am ET
LONDON (AP) -- The World Health Organization has admitted that it botched attempts to stop the now-spiraling Ebola outbreak in West Africa, blaming factors including incompetent staff and a lack of information.
"Nearly everyone involved in the outbreak response failed to see some fairly plain writing on the wall," WHO said in a draft internal document obtained by The Associated Press, noting that experts should have realized that traditional infectious disease containment methods wouldn't work in a region with porous borders and broken health systems.
The U.N. health agency acknowledged that, at times, even its own bureaucracy was a problem. It noted that the heads of WHO country offices in Africa are "politically motivated appointments" made by the WHO regional director for Africa, Dr. Luis Sambo, who does not answer to the agency's chief in Geneva, Dr. Margaret Chan.
WHO is the U.N.'s specialized health agency, responsible for setting global health standards and coordinating the global response to disease outbreaks.
Dr. Peter Piot, the co-discoverer of the Ebola virus, agreed in an interview Friday that WHO acted far too slowly, largely because of its Africa office.
"It's the regional office in Africa that's the front line," he said at his office in London. "And they didn't do anything. That office is really not competent."
Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, also questioned why it took WHO five months and 1,000 deaths before the agency declared Ebola an international health emergency in August.
"I called for a state of emergency to be declared in July and for military operations to be deployed," Piot said. But he said WHO might have been scarred by its experience during the 2009 swine flu pandemic, when it was slammed for hyping the situation.
In late April, during a teleconference on Ebola among infectious disease experts that included WHO, Doctors Without Borders and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, questions were apparently raised about the performance of WHO experts, as not all of them bothered to send Ebola reports to WHO headquarters.
WHO said it was "particularly alarming" that the head of its Guinea office refused to help get visas for an expert Ebola team to come in and $500,000 in aid was blocked by administrative hurdles. Guinea, along with Sierra Leone and Liberia, is one of the hardest-hit nations in the current outbreak, with 843 deaths so far blamed on Ebola.
The Ebola outbreak already has killed 4,484 people in West Africa and WHO says within two months, there could be new 10,000 cases of Ebola every week unless more measures to fight the outbreak are taken.
When Doctors Without Borders began warning in April that the Ebola outbreak was out of control, a dispute on social media broke out between the charity and a WHO spokesman, who insisted the outbreak was under control.
At a meeting of WHO's network of outbreak experts in June, Dr. Bruce Aylward, normally in charge of polio eradication, alerted Chan about the serious concerns being raised about WHO's leadership in West Africa. He wrote an email that some of the agency's partners -- including national health agencies and charities -- believed the agency was "compromising rather than aiding" the response to Ebola and that "none of the news about WHO's performance is good."
Five days later, Chan received a six-page letter from the agency's network of experts, spelling out what they saw as severe shortcomings in WHO's response to the deadly virus.
"This (was) the first news of this sort to reach her," WHO said in the draft document. "She is shocked."
Other experts said it was impossible to predict that the initial Ebola cases in Guinea would spark the biggest-ever outbreak of the lethal disease.
"There were a lot of mistakes made by WHO but a lot of the best public health minds would have thought we could handle this in July," said Michael Osterholm, an infectious diseases expert at the University of Minnesota.
"By the time we realized how bad things were, the genie was already out of the bottle," he said.
Osterholm said the U.N. health agency was far from the only organization to blame.
"If we fault WHO for the early dropping of the ball, the whole world has dropped the ball in some sense," he said. "Nobody is to blame because everybody is to blame.

Flybe Adds Extra Six Flights A Week To Manchester From Exeter
Leading regional airline boosts popular route with extra weekday and Sunday flights
Flybe, Europe’s largest regional airline, is to boost its popular Manchester service from Exeter with six extra flights each week from October 26th, 2014. It has added a fourth weekday flight departing mid-morning operated by one of its E175 jets, and a third flight on Sundays that leaves in the early afternoon. One way fares are from £34.99 including taxes and charges are on sale now at www.flybe.com .
Paul Simmons, Flybe’s Chief Commercial Officer said: “Being ‘the fastest way from A to Flybe’, we have scheduled these extra flights to ensure there will be a convenient choice throughout the day, not just for those visiting Manchester but also for those making the many onward connections with Flybe available through our Manchester hub to the rest of the UK. This is not to mention the hundreds of onward global connections also available out of Manchester that includes those with our codeshare partners, all of which are now easily accessible from Exeter without the need to battle overcrowded South East airports!”
Matt Roach, Exeter Airport’s Managing Director added: “South West passengers have welcomed the ease of onward connectivity through Flybe’s Manchester hub. The additional flights, providing extra capacity on the route, further increase the ability to connect to a huge range of domestic and world-wide destinations from Exeter. Four flights a day will mean that connecting times with major
international carriers will be minimised and people from the South West could be departing to
Sydney, New York, Toyko or Cape Town in a shorter time than if they had travelled to a London
airport. Passenger baggage, which is checked-in at Exeter, also goes all the way to the final
destination without the need to reclaim at any transfer airport. With the start of Flybe’s flights to
London City airport in October, these are exciting times for air travellers in the South West. ”
This winter, Flybe will operate 12 routes from Exeter Airport offering a choice of up to 202 flights a week that includes up to 50 flights a week to and from Manchester.

The bowl is simply a representation of a decline halting, consolidating, higher lows being put in and buyers regaining control. The drop down has produced a lower lower that we have now to recover from as well as a downtrend line from the 140-128 level that will have to be negotiated on any rise back up.
The hammer on Thursday was bullish but it still has to put in those higher lows and higher highs for the chart to start looking better again for a longer term hold.

"It will be deployed in the form of trials," said Dr. Marie Paule Kieny, the WHO's assistant director general for health systems and innovation. In a briefing with journalists Tuesday, she said that this would be a continuation of smaller trials conducted in Europe. "I'm talking about tens of thousands of doses, not millions," she said.

The WHO, in consultation with health authorities in the countries most affected by the outbreak of the disease that has killed more than 4,500, will decide on how the experimental vaccine will be distributed and used. About 1,000 people a week are being infected with Ebola, according to the organization, which has warned the number could rise to between 5,000 and 10,000 a week.
The WHO has cautioned that experimental vaccines cannot immediately help to control the worsening epidemic, but could be used to help protect the health workers needed to get it under control.
