Why employees are flying blind into retirement
With successful aviation careers as commercial pilots, Ben Hall and Mike Sutton have spread their wings once again, launching Isaac: the UK’s only independent retirement planning app, now being offered to employers as an employee benefit. Drawing on years in the cockpit, they believe the same principles that keep flights safe can help people become retirement-ready. No pilot would dream of taking off without completing their pre-flight checks.
Ukraine shows that Britain needs fighter jets more than ever
‘If we lose the war in the air, we lose the war, and we lose it quickly.” Zelensky’s desperate pleas for military support show that General Montgomery’s words, uttered 80 years ago, are as relevant as ever. In modern Britain, this is easily forgotten. Air war is a type of conflict that is rarely seen first-hand. It embodies the extremes of modern warfare: high-tech equipment, supersonic speeds, and devastating precision weaponry.

Home, curbside alcohol deliveries in SC on table again in 2024
By Jessica Holdman SCDailyGazette.com COLUMBIA — A bipartisan group of senators wants to let South Carolinians order alcohol delivered to their door with their groceries. But a vice-averse Republican is cutting them off. Legislation allowing home delivery of beer, wine and liquor — as well as curbside deliveries for outside-the-store pick-up orders — advanced from the Senate Judiciary Committee to the floor in March. Nothing has happened with it since, due to a senator’s objections.

Couch to 64k - a.k.a. Building a Z80 Breadboard Computer. Part 1: Pins
A lot of people build Z80 based computers. They build something with some flashing LEDs, some buttons, and maybe even a serial port. But the computers I loved as a kid had high-resolution displays, and keyboards, and joysticks attached. And you could spend your days playing games on them. So, I’m going to attempt to build a Z80 based computer, on breadboards, with some fun factor involved. And learn about hardware and software development at the same time.
From Little Acorns can an Alliance Oak Grow!
Wednesday, 26 February 2020 Mike Sutton So, what do you do when local elections come around and you can pretty much predict the outcome? As we know, the electoral system works against smaller parties and to the great disadvantage of fairness across the community. Last May, in our locality, Woodbridge in deepest Suffolk and its immediate surroundings, we achieved something small but quite remarkable. What is more it is quite replicable. The tale begins …but some years earlier.

Sulfate aerosols and the summer that wasn’t
After the Mount Tambora megavolcano erupted in 1815, the years that followed had weather that changed the world, as Mike Sutton explains For much of humanity, 1816 was the year that summer never came. In the US, where there were blizzards in June and frosts in August, people called it ‘Eighteen-hundred-and-froze-to-death’. Across Asia and Europe, crop failures caused mass starvation and political turmoil.
