CODA Gives You Wings
The lovely people at software company CODA have organised a group of number crunchers to leap off the end of a 6m high runway at the Red Bull Flugtag.....
The Extreme Accounting website (co-sponsored by CIMA) gives details of some hardy (i.e. foolish) accounting souls who are taking part in the event, hosted on the banks of The Serpentine in London's Hyde Park – which involves flying a silly contraption off the end of a pier. The aim of the challenge is to glide across the Serpentine and avoid getting a soaking.
A crack team of binary boffins at the Distressed Accountants’ Flying Team are flying the 'Risk Calculator', apparently. TS wishes DAFT luck, and hopes that they don't catch pneumonia.
Many an FD has taken an Icarus-like launch into the unknown to try and improve their accounting data and systems – only to plummet back down to terra firma with their new IT system wings reaching meltdown, so TS has fairly low expectations.
Still, a lot of people will enjoy the prospect of a load of accountants taking a long walk off a short pier…

Center Parcs' third village was opened in July 1994 in the Longleat Forest Estate, near Warminster in Wiltshire.
The village is located within a valley, which means it has a steeper terrain than other Center Parcs sites. A
notable feature of the village is the towering redwood trees which are common in this area of forest. Center Parcs
is located off the A632 and A36, immediately adjacent to Longleat Safari Park, which is clearly visible from many
locations.

The Samadhi of Ranjit Singh is the mausoleum of the Sikh ruler Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Located in Lahore, Pakistan, near the Lahore Fort and Badshahi Mosque, the mausoleum was begun by his son Kharak Singh on the spot where he was cremated, and was completed by Dalip Singh in 1848. The tomb is a splendid example of Sikh architecture, with gilded fluted domes and cupolas and an ornate balustrade round the top. Ranjit Singh's ashes are contained in a marble urn in the shape of a lotus, sheltered under a marble pavilion inlaid with pietra dura, in the centre of the tomb. Other tiny urns contain the ashes of his four wives and seven concubines who threw themselves on his funeral pyre. These urns were removed from the marble pavilion and were replaced by a simple slab around 1999. This desecration of the mausoleum was part of the preparations for the Khalsa Tricentenary and the visit of Sikh dignitaries from India.The Samadhi was damaged by the earthquake in October 2005.
