The bright red helm seats and joinery of the 179-foot ISA yacht Forever One matches the red trim and transom of the bespoke yacht’s exterior. Despite the bright colors, Axis Group Yacht Design kept the helm configuration relatively tame, with several monitors on either side of the helm station for the captain, and a simple bolster in the center near the mini-steering wheel. The area is more spacious than most wheelhouses, doubling as an unofficial saloon, with a lounger behind the helm. The owners like to come down and look through the 180-degree banks of windows when the yacht is at anchor or under way. The windows and high ceilings make this design the antithesis of the cramped, functional helm areas of most yachts.

Discoveries on the eastern railroad: Nizhniy Novgorod and Perm (Part 2)

Source: Ferran Mateo

Every layer of the city added to the excitement of getting closer to the centre. For a change, Lenin Square was not in the middle of the city. Lenin's statue looked more relaxed than in Petersburg and Moscow. And this time, Lenin wasn't alone either. To his left were tiny metal members of the proletariat, referred to as "reptiles" by the locals! The Kravinsky Bridge, spanning the Oka river, connects the two parts of Nizhniy while the Oka snakes below and surrenders her embankment to the bigger Volga. The Kremlin's gates ushered me into the massive grounds that housed local government buildings and, more importantly, museums, cathedrals and war monuments. My personal favourite was the `Museum of People's Unity', a one-room miracle at the Ivanovskaya tower that retraced Nizhniy's steps through the Mongol invasions, the Times of Trouble and its rise to an important trade centre.

"How much is one student ticket?" I asked the supervisor. He looked up at me through his glasses and grey fringe, and said, "For our students, it's 20 roubles, but for international..." "...Nu ya vasha," I interrupted, showing my St Petersburg State University student card. No one can appreciate price discrimination more than students in Russia - even compared to prices for international students, students enrolled in Russian universities pay a fraction! "So where are you from?" he asked. This is my favourite question because it always leads to royal treatment. And it did! I would have loved to explore all his suggestions, but, considering I was there for just a day, I had to stick to my itinerary and head to Flat 3, 214 Prospekt Gagarina. This is where Soviet Nuclear Physicist and Nobel Laureate Andrei Sakharov was imprisoned under internal exile from 1980-86 for criticising the USSR's invasion of Afghanistan. Today, the flat is the Sakharov Museum and has exhibits on his life, work and the support extended by Vladlen Pavlenkov of US-based `Freedom of Communications' to ensure that Sakharov's struggle was known to the world, and to lobby with the Gorbachev administration for his release. I spent the afternoon walking about `Shvitsariya' (Switzerland) - a park nearby running at least a couple of kilometres along the Oka embankment. I snailed my way through the city and got to Gorky Square. During the Soviet period, Nizhniy was named Gorky after the Communist writer, Maksim Gorky, and in the middle of the Square is a small park with a statue of the city's former namesake.

Yamal was a big mistake! This could unarguably have been the Russian Railways' best train, with immaculate velvet cushioned seats, brand new fittings and linen that could turn the best of us into Sleeping Beauties! That's why Yamal was a mistake - any train after this was going to be a disappointment and I had five more to go before getting to Vladivostok!

14 hours later, I stepped onto Perm's soil. "Perm is a city most travellers could bear to miss." My first steps in the city saw me already echoing my guidebook's sentiments! I had expected Nizhniy to be small; instead, she surprised me with her size and energy. And now, when I thought Perm would be like the Nizhniy I saw, Perm was determined to be the Nizhniy I had initially imagined. I checked into Hotel Ural on Lenin Street, the city's spine, and almost immediately started exploring. I didn't feel the city had much to offer a tourist except, perhaps, an attractive setting in the Urals and a lot of theatres and philharmonic concert halls! But the people factor was the unexpected winner. Everyone from the hotel staff to random people on the street was very friendly and ready to go out of their way to help! But there was bummer - Perm was freezing and my two sweaters were finally coming in handy! The lack of tourist attractions didn't bother me much. After all, Perm was just an excuse to go to Perm-36, the only surviving Gulag (Soviet forced labour camps) museum, located in Kutchino village about 80 km east. That's where I headed the next morning.  

Lyubov Tretiakova, a co-ordinator with Perm-36, had organised my visit. She suggested which buses to take from Perm and even sent her car to pick me up from the point where the road to the museum branched off from the bus's route. Moreover, when I got there, she said she would drop me to the next village, 20 km away, from where I could get a bus back to Perm. Narrow wooden plank beds; single toilets shared by over 50 people; possibility to take the day off only if temperature dipped below -55˚C; worn-out shoes and gloves; electric fences; one-year old Larissa's grave - this was Perm-36. On my way back, as the bus moved along the grassy hills sprinkled with yellow flowers, I remembered Lyubov mentioning that Perm-36 is primarily funded by the Perm regional government, which in turn must receive some funds from the Kremlin. It suddenly occurred to me that the journey from Nizhniy to Perm was a lot longer than the thousands kilometres I had covered a couple of days ago. It was the journey from Sakharov's exile for speaking against the government to the restoration of a former Gulag camp dedicated to the victims of political repression with support and funding from the very same government! The West doesn't acknowledge this journey and I don't know what former Gulag prisoners think of it either. It's probably not enough. But, at least, like a foetus's first heartbeats, it is alive!

Forever One Owner Bruce Grossman on the History of the 55 Metre Motor Yacht

Superyacht owner Bruce Grossman , who would normally spend almost half of the year cruising on board Forever One , has said that his beloved 55-metre ISA superyacht will likely be his "last boat."

Grossman gave a detailed account of Forever One ’s design story as part of BOAT International ’s series of informative interviews titled At Home with BOAT. In episode eight of the series,  BOAT International editor Stewart Campbell sat down with Grossman to discuss the history and future of Forever One.

At the beginning of the interview, Grossman explained that the superyacht and her crew were currently living in lockdown in Athens . Grossman said that on board, “everybody is doing fine” and that he was relieved that "we were able to keep our crew on and pay them their salaries” – which was not the case for many of the charter boats sharing the same marina.

Grossman then discussed how the unique design of Forever One had arisen from his desire to travel to new areas after being "locked up in ports a lot" on less sturdy yachts. Describing it as "a house on the water," Grossman explained that nothing was held back when designing the living spaces because "the boat’s going to be my last boat and it’s going to be forever,” noting, "that key word, forever , ended up being in the name."

Although Forever One might have a slower pace than his previous yachts, Grossman said that he could now get his speed fix on his Riva Iseo tender, and spoke fondly of his experiences on board the boat "flying around the fjords of Norway ."

Grossman also talked about how his love for fast boats started at a young age, when he would spend weekends on board his grandfather’s Chris-Craft . “To me, there is no greater privilege than to be floating around and having an opportunity to go to different parts of the world on your own boat,” said Grossman.

With regards to future plans, the owner had been hoped to "be on the boat from the middle of may until September," visiting " Greece , Croatia and ending up in Venice .” Having mentioned that Forever One had undergone some "winter work," Grossman also revealed that the superyacht would be receiving an extensive repaint next year at the Lusben shipyard in Italy.

American aid worker killed by israeli airstrike in gaza ided as 33-year-old jacob flickinger.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

The American-Canadian aid worker who was killed by an Israeli airstrike alongside six of his World Central Kitchen colleagues while delivering food in war-torn Gaza has been identified as 33-year-old Jacob Flickinger.

Flickinger, who had dual citizenship to the US and its northern neighbor, was a relief team member for the DC-based hunger relief charity founded by celebrity chef José Andrés.

He and his fellow aid workers had just delivered more than 100 tons of food to northern Gaza — where Palestinians are facing starvation due to Israel’s blockade — when Israeli missiles hit their three-car convoy.

Flickinger was killed along with Lalzawmi (Zomi) Frankcom, 43, of Australia; Damian Sobol, 35, of Poland; and Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha, 25, of Palestine.

Frankcom was the team lead while the others were relief team members.

Three World Central Kitchen security team members from the United Kingdom — identified as James (Jim) Henderson, 33; James Kirby, 47; and John Chapman, 57 — also died in the attack. All three are former British servicemen.

“These are the heroes of World Central Kitchen,” World Central Kitchen CEO Erin Gore said in a statement Tuesday. “These 7 beautiful souls were killed by the IDF in a strike as they were returning from a full day’s mission.”

“Their smiles, laughter, and voices are forever embedded in our memories. And we have countless memories of them giving their best selves to the world,” Gore added. “We are reeling from our loss. The world’s loss.”

The nonprofit — one of the few humanitarian aid organizations to brave the dangerous conditions in Gaza — paused its operations in the Palestinian territory following the deaths, increasing the risk of famine.

The CEO called the airstrike “a targeted attack” by the Israel Defense Forces and noted that the caravan was traveling in vans clearly branded with the World Central Kitchen logo in a deconflicted zone in coordination with the IDF.

All three vehicles which had been a good distance apart from one another were hit in succession and left burnt out and mangled. At least one had the World Central Kitchen log on its roof — as to be visible from an air attack — which was left with a gaping hole in the aftermath.

Gore said she was “heartbroken and appalled” and called the airstrike “unforgivable” in a scathing statement immediately following the news of the members’ deaths.

“This is not only an attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. This is unforgivable,” she said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted Israel’s military was responsible for killings in what he called an “unintentional” hit while adding that “it happens in war.”

“Unfortunately, in the last day there was a tragic case of our forces unintentionally hitting innocent people in the Gaza Strip,” Netanyahu said in Hebrew in a video message on X.

“It happens in war, we check it to the end, we are in contact with the governments, and we will do everything so that this thing does not happen again,” he added.

He later issued a second statement stating that Israel “deeply regrets the tragic incident.”

“Our hearts go out to their families and to their home countries,” Netanyahu said in his second remarks. “The IDF is conducting a swift and transparent investigation and we will make our findings public.”

Still, world leaders from around the globe slammed Israel for the deadly strike, with some saying it further highlights the country’s alleged lack of regard for civilian lives in Gaza.

President Joe Biden said he was “outraged and heartbroken” by the aid worker deaths.

“Israel has not done enough to protect aid workers trying to deliver desperately needed help to civilians,” he said in a rare criticism of the US ally.

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby added that the killings show how dire the situation of getting aid to Gazans is.

“This incident is emblematic of a larger problem and evidence of why distribution of aid in Gaza has been so challenging,” Kirby said, according to ABC News . “But what — beyond the strike — what is clear is that the IDF must do much more, much more to improve deconfliction processes so that civilians and humanitarian aid workers are protected.”

More than 180 aid workers have been killed in the Israel-Hamas war, according to the UN — making it one of the most deadly conflicts for humanitarian volunteers and workers.

“This is nearly three times the death toll recorded in any single conflict in a year,” UN humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories Jamie McGoldrick said.

Since the start of the conflict, more than 32,900 Palestinians have been killed, and children and women make up two-thirds of the dead, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza. The fighting began on Oct. 7 when Hamas invaded Israel and killed 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and took 250 hostages.

“The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon,” said Andrés, the World Central Kitchen founder.

The Top 12 Things to Do in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia

Take a first-rate trip to Russia's fifth city

Although it's Russia's fifth-largest city, you could be forgiven for never having heard of Nizhny Novgorod. Notwithstanding that another Russian city is simply called " Novgorod ," the current name of the city just doesn't have a memorable ring to it. (By contrast, its name during the Soviet years — Gorky, like the famous author — was much more iconic.) At any rate, this city of just over a million around six hours east of Moscow is more than worth a visit. These are just 12 reasons why!

Tour the Kremlin's 13 Towers

Like most every other city in Russia, Nizhny Novgorod is home to a Kremlin. (The word "kremlin" means "citadel" in Russian, and has nothing to do with the modern Russian government) One thing that elevated the Kremlin of Nizhny Novgorod above others in Russia (with the possible exception of the Moscow Kremlin and one or two others), however, is the fact that its wall has 13 towers. During the summer months, at least one free walking tour per day operates from the main entrance of Nizhny Novgorod's Kremlin.

Climb Russia's Longest Staircase

Named for one of the most famous Russian pilots of the early aviation age (Valery Chkalov), the Chkalov Stairs connect two of Nizhny Novgorod's public squares, which sit on the upper and lower embankments of the Volga River, respectively. Built in 1943 (during the period when Nizhny Novgorod was known as Gorky), the Chkalov Stairs currently have the distinction of being the longest staircase in Russia.

Go Wild at Limpopo Zoo

One thing that surprises many travelers to Nizhny Novgorod is how amazing its zoo, colloquially known as Limpopo is. In addition to being home to a tropical botanical garden (which, not surprisingly, is indoors), the zoo hosts a variety of reptiles, mammals and birds. There's also a small sculpture park on the grounds of Nizhny Novgorod's zoo, including both original and replica pieces.

Shop (or Just Stroll) Along a Storied High Street

Bolshaya Pokrovskaya Street has been the de-facto "Main Street" of Nizhny Novgorod for more than 200 years. Well, minus the Soviet Union period, during which the cafes that once (and now) lined it became somewhat worthless, since intellectual conversations were basically forbidden. These days, you can come here for a cup of Russian tea then shop at the dozens of boutiques you'll find on either side of the street.

Sun Yourself at the Spit

Nizhny Novgorod sits at the confluence of the Oka and Volga Rivers, with the triangle of land at the point they meet being known as the Nizhny Novgorod Spit. Ignoring the unfortunate double-meaning of its name for a moment, this is actually a wonderful place to get a tan, if it's summer in the city and the sun happens to be shining. Even if not, photographers will enjoy a trip here for a view of the Kremlin and city center across the Volga.

Marvel at the Open-Air Museum of Rozhdestvenskaya Street

Like Bolshaya Pokrovskaya Street, Rozhdestvenskaya Street has long been one of the most important streets in Nizhny Novgorod. However, while the former has become a primarily commercial artery in recent decades, the charm of the latter is in its well-maintained buildings, which hearken back to the mid-18th century. In fact, some locals go so far as to consider Rozhdestvenskaya Street an "open-air museum."

Ride Russia's Newest Cable Car

Russian investment in infrastructure isn't quite as dramatic as that of, say, China, but the Federation has nonetheless built a selection of interesting and modern transportation systems since the fall of the USSR. Among them is the just-opened cable car, which travels from the center of Nizhny Novgorod over the Volga River to suburban Bor. At any rate, a ride over the river and back is definitely worth inclusion on your list of things to do in Nizhny Novgorod.

Taste Traditional Shchi Soup

Shchi is one of Nizhy Novgorod's most delicious local specialties, available in most every local restaurant that serves Russian food. From above, a bowl of shchi seems incredibly complicated, with a colorful palette that suggests the inclusion of dozens of diverse ingredients. In fact, the magic of shchi is in its simplicity. Building on the traditional pan-Russian recipe of cabbage, pork fat and salt (yes, just three ingredients), locals in Nizhny Novgorod sometimes add minced meat or egg whites as bonus items, then top the tangy soup with a dollop of sour cream.

Survey Amazing Russian Orthodox Architecture

Think the only amazing Russian Orthodox churches are in Moscow and St. Petersburg? Think again. Nizhny Novgorod boasts several amazing examples of Russian Orthodox architecture. From the brilliant golde domes John the Baptist Cathedral near the Volga River, to the expansive grounds of 14th-century Pechersky Ascension Monastery, Nizhny Novgorod is an architecture buff's dream!

Take a Look Back in Time

Nizhny Novgorod's historical center is relatively large and well-preserved, but a stroll (or 10) through it isn't the only way to get a feel for the city's centuries-long past. Head to the Russian Museum of Photography, which not only showcases a variety of images of Nizhny Novgorod that date back a century or even longer, but also spotlights the equipment Russian photographers have used throughout the years, and notable figures in Russia's photography history as well.

Visit the Convent from the Movie "Salt"

You'd be forgiven if you've entirely forgotten the 2010 film "Salt." However, if you remember any destination from this spy thriller, it's likely the facade of Makaryev Convent, which is located within day-trip distance of Nizhny Novgorod. Having served as a monastery from its consecration in the early 15th century up until the beginning of the Russian Revolution, Makaryev became a convent after the fall of the Soviet Union , and is now home to 22 nuns.

Take an Excursion to a 12th-Century Tea Town

Another worthwhile day trip from Nizhny Novgorod is to the town of Gorodets, which sits about an hour to its northwest. With a history dating back to the 12th century, Gorodets boasts an interesting array of architecture and museums, including one dedicated to samovars.
