"Even though it’s a public holiday, Rhysics has swung his office doors wide open today with a new offering of his signature garage-pop goodness, paired with an equally endearing clip.\nOver the string of singles released since Rhysics latest EP, 2017’s Idiot Rock, Rhys Renwick and crew have been showing off a new level of polish to his charmingly scrappy brand of songwriting; be that through tighter production, triumphant power-pop instrumentation or a new affinity for soaring Brandon Flowers esque hooks.\n\nThe third teaser in what we can only assume is a first taste of Rhysic’s debut album, ‘Together Now’ follows suit in masterful fashion. Despite its unmotivated and self-deprecating themes, the track comes loaded with enthusiasm and vigour with its relentless groove and flurry of tangling guitar and synth. And when the band race into a fiery bridge section, Rhys sounds more unstoppable and enigmatic than ever - makes it hard to imagine that someone with that much ferocity could struggle to get anything done.\n\nSpeaking about the track, Rhys shares “I wanted to make a song that would really drill into my thick god damn skull, that I need to look after myself and sort my sh*t out. ‘Together Now’ is as much an aggressive personal mantra, as it is a rock and roll song for the masses”.\n'Together Now' is out now in all the usual places. Catch Rhysics launching the new single at The Curtin on Saturday October 15th with Polite Skeletons, department. and Babycinno - tickets available here.\nrhysics.bandcamp.com\n@rhysics_\nPhoto by @billiamofbilliam\nClip by Lincoln Healy and Evie Vlah"

"Alice Cooper is preparing his next two studio albums, together with longtime producer Bob Ezrin. The legendary shock rocker talked to the German Rolling Stone and said that he has already written 30 new songs: \"A lot of those were born during the plague. We couldn't go touring for 18 months, so what's a musician gonna do? Well, they're going to write songs. Everybody has a studio in their house. So we were writing songs and doing demos. And at the end of this whole thing, I got in touch with Bob and said, 'Here's 30 songs.' And we decided, 'Okay, let's do two albums.' But the two albums are definitely two different angles of coming in to Alice Cooper. One is very hard rock; the other one is hard rock but it's twisted. And that's all I can say about it right now, because there's a couple of really important things about both albums\".\n\nNote that Alice Cooper had mentioned in the recent past, when he appeared on SiriusXM's \"Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk\": \"I'm working on two albums right now, actually — two studio albums. And all I can say is that one is written — totally written — and we'll be doing bed tracks for that one pretty soon. And then the other one is just a touch in the future, but that's being written right now too. They're two entirely different kinds of albums, but they're Alice Cooper pure rock and roll albums. The two albums will really be hard rock albums\". And he continued: \"It's kind of like the old days when you're touring and putting out records at the same time. It kind of takes me back to when you're doing 'Love It To Death' and then you tour for 'Love It To Death'. While you're doing 'Love It To Death', you're writing 'Killer'. When 'Love It To Death' is over, 'Killer' comes out and then you go support that. And while you're doing 'Killer', you're writing 'School's Out'. So we're kind of piggybacking everything. And I kind of like that. It keeps everything moving. I don't like those big chunks of time when there's nothing going on\".\n\nSands of Eternity has released a new single, \"Enlightened (Mighty Warrior)\", which can be found in the band's debut album, “Beyond The Realms Of Time”. This first album is released by Symmetric Records.\n\nSands Of Eternity are an evolution of Hourglass Sands Of Eternity or most commonly known as Hourglass SOE. Initially the band was formed back in 1996 in Athens and after two demos they released their debut and only album in 2002 entitled Journey To Infinity. Soon after, the band split up and each member continued its own path, up until 2021 when the guitarist and main composer Ioannis Ioakimides joined forces with the singer Michael \"Dice\" Papadakis in order to record the album “Beyond The Realms Of Time”, changing also the name of the band by dropping Hourglass and keeping Sands Of Eternity. The band also features Thanassis Skoutelis (bass), Vangelis Kalentzis (keyboards), Michalis Skoutelis (drums) and Kostas Nanos (guitars). “Beyond The Realms Of Time” consists of ten new songs written by Ioannis Ioakimides and produced by Bob Katsionis, always in the spirit of heavy / power metal keeping the lyrical characters of the band's roots but also evolving in terms of sound and aesthetics.",

"Mad Max has announced its new album, which will be titled \"Wings of Time\" and will be available by Rock of Angels Records (ROAR!).\n\nIt all began in the year 1982 when the \"New Wave Of British Heavy Metal\" stormed in from Great Britain all over Europe. This was the starting point for MAD MAX founder and guitar player Juergen Breforth to make his musical dreams come true. MAD MAX was born and now 2022, after 15 albums and concerts all around the world, MAD MAX are celebrating their 40th anniversary. WINGS OF TIME is Juergen’s vision of MAD MAX. With Julian Rolinger on lead vocals MAD MAX capture perfectly the style and vibe of their 80‘s roots but also take the MAD MAX sound way further. The first single \"TOO HOT TO HANDLE\" is a heavy melodic rocker with a magic groove. Radio DJs that already heard the song couldn't believe that this band is from Germany. They thought it must be a newcomer from the USA and not a band from Germany with a history of 40 years. Check out \"BEST PART OF ME\" which was inspired by the wonderful spirit of Jimi Jamison from SURVIVOR and you know exactly what the radio DJs are talking about. With WINGS OF TIME you will discover the new MAD MAX but there are also lots of classic guitar riffs and melodies for all the true and loyal fans who kept the MAD MAX spirit alive for 40 years.",

"Getting handwritten mail in today’s digital world is pretty special. Getting letters from an Olympic marathon hopeful, however? Well, that takes the coolness factor up a notch, especially for the fifth graders who are receiving them.\n\nTyler McCandless, a 2012 Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier, is pen pals with a group of elementary students in Pittsburgh. Recently, his mailbox was full of about 25 letters from the kids, each posing questions to the Boulder, Colorado-based runner. He fielded some as simple as, “What’s your favorite color?” Others were a little more probing, like “How many times per week do you run?”\n\nHe answered them all.\n\n“Some of them were very knowledgeable, writing about a friend of the family who ran a 125-mile race and then asked if I had ever raced farther than a marathon,” McCandless said. “Others were asking how my training was going, which was pretty neat. I think it’s pretty cool to have a personal connection with each of the kids.”\n\nMcCandless is working in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Marathon's Kids of STEEL program, which put him in touch with the students who are training to run the Kids Marathon, a mile-long fun run for children on May 2. McCandless is focused on winning the marathon the following day and hitting the Olympic Marathon Trials 'A' standard of 2:15 as well. His personal best is 2:15:26.\n\nThough McCandless is motivating the kids—“One said that I was their idol and that they hoped they could run like me,” McCandless said—he admitted they’re an inspiration to him, too.\n\n“It’s easy to get wrapped up in other facets of the sport that take away from the purity of it,” he said. “So when you go back to kids running, they run simply to beat other people and they run as hard as they can. They don’t overthink it. It’s very pure.\n\n“It’s cool to be able to make the connection with kids where they’re looking up to you because you’re a fast runner,\" he added. “But then I’m looking up to them because they embody the exact essence of the beauty of our sport.”\n\nMcCandless said he will meet his pen pals in person on race weekend.\n\n“When I’m 70 years old and I’m talking about the glory days, even if I win the Pittsburgh Marathon, which is my goal, there’s a good chance I’ll be sharing the story of the Kids Marathon the day before,” McCandless said."

"If you'd like to get a look at the future - at General Motor's future, anyway - stop into your nearest Saturn showroom.\n\nThere you'll see several models that were developed in a close cooperation between GM's U.S. brand and its flagship European subsidiary, Opel. While the recently updated Vue shows significant changes made for American buyers, the compact Saturn Astra is, for all intents and purposes, the same car you'll see roaming the streets of Paris and blasting down the Autobahn in Germany.\n\nWhat's under way is \"a pretty radical shift,\" says the General's vice chairman and \"car czar,\" Bob Lutz. Going forward, he adds, we American motorists are going to see a \"more European lineup than ever before in our history.\"\n\nThere are several reasons why this is happening, and the makeover will show up in several different ways.\n\nThe why is simple. For several years, to give him credit, Lutz has warned that if gas hit $4 a gallon, we'd see consumers radically shift their buying patterns. And as his colleague, GM president Fritz Henderson, said on Tuesday, the changes we're seeing now are very likely permanent.\n\nIf you thought the build-up of the light truck market, starting in the late 1980s, was fast, you ain't seen nuthin'. Full-size pickup and SUV sales have absolutely collapsed. Dealers in much of the country are just about giving those vehicles away. (Great news, as a friend of mine declared, if you absolutely have to have one.) Suddenly, passenger cars - especially some of the smallest and most fuel-efficient - are hot, along with the latest generation of car-based crossovers.\n\nSure, if fuel prices go back down - indeed, even if they stabilize, and consumers get used to paying four bucks - trucks will bounce back, but as Henderson said, the recovery will be nowhere near what we saw as recently as 2006, when light trucks grabbed half the market.\n\nSince American motorists traditionally bought trucks and larger cars, it was much harder for GM, and its domestic brethren, to consolidate global product development. Now, however, it makes a lot of sense. And if you can design an Astra for the U.S. and Europe in one fell swoop, you've saved yourself anywhere up to $1 billion in product development costs.\n\nNow, don't assume what you'll see at a Chevy showroom, never mind Saturn, Buick, or Pontiac, will always be the same here as over there in Europe. Even if high gas prices force Americans to downsize, our tastes are different. We're less into station wagons and hatchbacks. But GM is getting a lot better at coming up with a few sheetmetal variations that otherwise share the same components under the skin.\n\nAnother difference: Europeans don't traditionally link size and price. So instead of buying a $30,000 SUV, they'll pay that for a smaller, but functional crossover or wagon. Indeed, in Switzerland, the average transaction price for a new automobile is a whopping $42,000.\n\nSo you may see a Chevy sharing much of its basics with an Opel, but the American version might lack a lot of what in Europe is basic, standard equipment."

"I love Kale and any week that there is no kale in my fridge is a dull week. This does not mean I absolutely cook with it every week, but it is like onions, if I do not have them then I have a mini panic/feeling of loss. Fortunately for me, kale of one sort or another is available all year round either from my garden or bought. Is that sad? Well I’m not, but there are sooo many anti-kale jokes, drawings and cartoons out there, that I can guess I may not be preaching to the converted. So let me try.\n\nKale is usually an annual plant grown from seed and has a wide range of germination temperatures. It is hardy, thrives in wintertime, and can survive in temperatures as low as –15° Celsius. Kale can become sweeter after a heavy frost.\n\nThere are a number of varieties of kale, such as, Curly-leaf (Scots kale, blue curled kale), Bumpy-leaf (black cabbage, or cavolo nero’, and also known as Tuscan Cabbage, Tuscan Kale, lacinato and dinosaur kale), there is Plain-leaf (flat-leaf types like red Russian and white Russian kale), and finally, Leaf and spear kales, or feathery-type leaf which are a cross between curly- and plain-leaf. There are also Ornamental Kales which are decidedly less palatable and have tougher leaves.\n\nKale is a branch of the Brassica oleracea clan to which cabbages, brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower all belong. It’s actually an older vegetable than cabbage and originates from the Mediterranean and Asia Minor where it was cultivated for food beginning by 2000 BCE at the latest. Curly-leaved varieties of cabbage already existed along with flat-leaved varieties in Greece in the 4th century BC. These forms, which were referred to by the Romans as Sabellian kale, are considered to be the ancestors of modern kales. The earliest record of cabbages in western Europe is of hard-heading cabbage in the 13th century. Records in 14th-century England distinguish between hard-heading cabbage and loose-leaf kale. Finally, Russian kale was introduced into Canada, and then into the United States, by Russian traders in the 19th century.(Wikipedia)\n\nWhile a cup of kale is said to exceed daily vitamin requirements of A, C and K and is a great source of antioxidants, the Environmental Working Group, put kale third on their 2019 list of fruits and vegetables most at risk of contamination with pesticides. So, please wash kale thoroughly before using it.\n\nBut my new passion is for the Kalette, that cross between a brussel sprout and kale.\n\nKalettes were introduced to NZ in 2017 from the UK where they were first sold in 2010. In an NZ Herald article, by Ophelia Buckleton, My Food Bag co-founder Nadia Lim predicted kalettes could become the next big food trend since they combine the convenience of the small, round Brussels sprout with the textural and nutritional attributes of kale, making them versatile and quick to cook. I bought mine from Farro Fresh.\n\nThe kalette is highly nutritious – particularly rich in vitamins A and C. To cook, kalettes work in any way that Brussels sprouts and kale would be happy with: steaming, frying, roasting or stir-frying."

"DAGUERRE Louis Jacques Mande (November 18, 1787, Cormeilles, France — July 10, 1851, Bry-sur-Marne) was a French artist and inventor, and one of the creators of photography. He developed (with the help of Niépce's experiments) the first practical relevant photography method - daguerrotypy (1839).",
null,
"Daguerre was a customs official and later a scene-painter in opera. In 1822 he opened a diorama in Paris - a huge building with huge paintings in it. In the process of the creation and perfection of these paintings he was probably prompted to starting experiments in photography. He knew the camera obscura and used it to make sketches from nature for creating an illusion of reality in his diorama.\n\nDaguerre did not invent photography (Niépce did that before him), but he made it practical and popular. In 1829 he negotiated a developmental contract with Niépce to develop the method of heliography. After 1829 and till his death in 1833 Niépce and his son Isidor, who became Daguerre's partner upon father's death, did not manage to develop their invention. But Daguerre, who worked independently, moved forward. His idea was to obtain an image on a bright surface of a silver plate sodden with iodide vapors, which made it photosensitive. He put the plate into a camera obscura, exposed, and developed with mercury vapors.\n\nHe achieved results in 1837, after 11 years of experiments. He fixed the image developed with the mercury vapors by bathing it in a strong solution of salt and hot water. After 1839 he changed salt in the fixation process to natrium sulfate — a locating fixture discovered by John Herschel. As a result the silver iodide particles that had not been influenced by light washed away. Exposure time in the camera obscura was between 15 and 30 minutes (whereas Niépce heliography required up to 8 hours).",
null,
"The whole process produced a single photo - a positive, named a daguerreotype by the author. It was impossible to produce several such plates. The image on a plate was mirror-like and you could have a good look at it only in certain light. But Daguerre, in obtaining daguerreotype images, \"drawn by light\", managed to do without not only the artist's work but also the one of an engraver. It was this feature that made the process accessible and practical. Daguerre strolled about the streets of Paris with a heavy camera and bulky equipment, made his daguerreotypes in boulevards, arousing interest in people, but did not explain the essence of his method.\n\nTo get profit out of his discovery Daguerre tried to create a corporation by public subscription first. After the failure of this he made an attempt to sell the invention for a quarter of a million francs. But none of money-makers bought it. Then Daguerre decided to evoke the interest of the scientists and reported his invention to a well known and influential astronomer and physicist D.F. Arago. January 7, 1839 Arago reported the works of Daguerre to the French Academy and offered the French government to by the patent. The announcement of the daguerrotypy made a sensation. Scientific journals printed Arago's report. Daguerre became widely known exactly because of this invention, the diorama was popular too (Balzac's characters mention it as a sensation more than once), but it had burned to ashes just a few months before.\n\nDaguerre showed daguerreotypes of Paris views to writers, painters and newspaper editors, who made his invention popular, and he asked 200 thousand francs for it. At the same time he told Isidore Niépce that with the deal being successful he would divide the sum between them. But he did not manage to sell the invention. Then Arago convinced Daguerre that a pension from the French government would be an honor and a national reward to him. Daguerre was granted 6 thousand francs a year for his lifetime and Isidore Niépce - 4 thousand francs. Daguerre became also a knight of Ordre national de la Legion d'honneur. In the same year he received a patent in England.\n\nDaguerre concentrated on popularization of the daguerreotype process: he arranged demonstrations for artists and scientists. Together with his relative A.Giroud he began to produce daguerreotype cameras for sale. Half of the profit went to Giroud, the other half Daguerre divided between himself and Isidor Niépce.\n\nLater that year Giroud published Daguerre's instructions on how to use his camera and all the cameras and instructions were sold out in a few days. This instruction was republished for 30 times in France. Within a year it was translated into many languages and reprinted in the capitals of Europe and USA.\n\nSoon scientists, artists and amateurs developed Daguerre's process. They reduced exposure time to several minutes. The use of a prism made it possible to obtain a normal, not mirror-like daguerreotype image. Daguerreotypes reproduced the finest detail of the taken objects. By 1841 a smaller camera was created, and its weight was 10 times reduced. Some means to preserve the daguerreotype surface from damage and scratches were created as well.\n\nDaguerre's fame and recognition grew as his method of obtaining images spread around the world. But after he published the facts about his process Daguerre did not bring anything new into photography. He lived a secluded life not far from Paris until his death in 1851."

"In one of the largest public issues this year, Sterling and Wilson Solar Ltd, the world’s largest solar EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) solutions provider in terms of market share, is hitting the capital market with an initial public offering of Rs 3,125 crore. The price band for the issue has been set at Rs 775-780 a share.\n\nThe IPO of Sterling and Wilson Solar will open for bids on August 6 and close on August 8. It is essentially an offer for sale by the promoters Shapoorji Pallonji Group and Khurshed Daruvala, who is the chairman of the company.\n\nSince, its an offer for sale, Sterling and Wilson as such will not get any share of the proceeds.\n\nSterling and Wilson Solar began operations in 2011 to provide EPC solutions to solar energy projects worldwide. In a bid to tap the immense opportunities in the solar energy sector, the promoters demerged the company into a separate unit in 2017.\n\nMiddle East, Africa and India are among the biggest markets for the company, with market share of 40.4 per cent, 36.6 per cent and 16.6 per cent respectively.\n\nThe company in recent years has also expanded to newer markets where the group had little or no presence and is now present in 26 countries.\n\n“We have made moves into geographies where Shapoorji Pallonji and Sterling Wilson Group were never present. So, we finished projects in Argentina, we have got order book in Chile, we have started operations in Australia, US, we have finished projects in Vietnam… So the solar business has now expanded to become a global company,” said Daruvala.\n\nIn recent years, costs of solar panels have come down. Solar power tariffs have also seen a sharp decline globally, falling significantly below traditional energy sources like coal. This is expected to drive growth in the solar energy industry in the coming years.\n\nSterling and Wilson Solar’s revenue in the year ended March 2019 was Rs 8,240 crore, up from Rs 6,800 crore a year earlier. The company closed the financial year with an unexecuted order value of Rs 7,700 crore.\n\nIt reported a profit of Rs 638 crore in 2018-19, and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) margins are in the 7-8 per cent range.\n\n“On the macro size of the market, this year the market size addressable for us is about Rs 1 lakh crore where we would participate,” said Daruvala.\n\nSterling and Wilson Solar’s IPO is one of the few public issues that have hit the market this year in the wake of a slowing economy and volatile equity markets.\n\nAccording to Prime Database, which tracks capital market activity, between January and July 2019, there were only 9 IPOs (excluding Sterling and Wilson), cumulatively raising Rs 5,966 crore. In the same period last year, there were 20 issues, which cumulatively raised Rs 27,377 crore.\n\nThe Rs 459 crore public issue of mobile marketing firm Affle India, which closed for bids on Wednesday, got a strong response, getting subscribed over 86 times its issue size.\n\nB2B commerce player IndiaMart’s IPO also attracted a lot of interest in June. The Rs 475 crore issue got subscribed 36 times and made a strong debut on the stock market. The stock is currently trading at Rs 1,219.65, up 25 per cent from its issue price.\n\nSpandana Sphoorthy Financial, AGS Transact, ASK Investment Managers and Mazgaon Dock are among the other companies that may hit the capital markets this year."

I would love it nonetheless.\n\nThe language used to crisch to Montauk invites this sort of emotional superimposition—how you have to reach The End to get to The Point. Except this name changing the facts of Frisch’s stay in America do concur. Montauk was left with no other choice but to fill in the gaps as best it could, resulting in a somewhat uneven but always interesting community. I should like to describe this day, just this day, our weekend together, how it momtauk about and how it develops.\n\nAnd probably the funniest moment to me is that character quoting his mother: The author expounds on every thought in his head. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Homo Faber, My Name is Gantenbein and I am not Stiller, his works have somewhat faded away in the minds of the reading public since his death in These included fragments from contemporary media reports, and paradoxical questionnaires, as well as personal reflections and reportage.\n\nFrisch doesn’t refrain from emba Montauk is an autobiographical novel. This is not a relationship, weekend-fling, brief affair with a younger woman book, although it seems like it should be based on the description and the cover.\n\nHis intimate revelations on past relationships didn’t do any good to his at the time still existing marriage.

"From his secrets Frisch has disclosed nothing. Not even an international film production of Homo Ftisch under the title Voyager starring Sam Shephard and Julie Delpie could trigger a sustained renaissance of his work. This can be a rather painful process of re-evaluation, notably when dreams remained unfulfilled and when entire chapters of the biography have never been properly closed.\n\nTo understand that the mistakes that we make are not just interpersonal, but a matter of style and substance. In New York, he meets a young woman in her thirties."

The Story of Anvil, you probably should.\n\nThe unlikely underdogs proved winning subjects of a documentary that was an audience favorite at festivals around the world and would have been a sho0-in for a Best Documentary nod at this year’s Academy Awards had the producers (according to my very well-placed sources) not made the ambitious yet ill-advised decision to enter it in the Best Picture category instead. (As an aged Crusader once said to an ambitious yet ill-advised Nazi who drank from an unholy grail, “You chose… poorly.”)\n\nMetal, let alone heavy metal (as suggested by a band with a name like “Anvil”) is definitely not my thing, but the opportunity to catch a screening of the film followed by a performance by the band themselves was too much to pass up. How often does a band open for themselves? You can’t get much more rock ‘n’ roll than that.\n\nThe sold-out, sausage-heavy crowd at the Venue was enthusiastic from the get-go. My initial thinking was that the majority of the audience would be those who were, like me, wanting to check out the band because of the popularity of the film. I was wrong.\n\nBased on the number of well-fed, Anvil-clad men around me whose cheers and hollers during the film (guitarist and singer Steve ‘Lips’ Kudlow getting aggressive with a promoter who won’t pay him, drummer Robb Reiner’s tour of his scatalogically-inspired toilet art) was balanced by enthusiastic boos for Reiner’s sister, Droid, ranting about Anvil’s bleak future and insisting her brother needs a “reality check.” It’s a good thing Droid wore sunglasses during filming, lest she ever find herself at an Anvil show.\n\nThe band’s music all started to sound the same to me after about 20 minutes – like I said, it’s not my thing. That being said they were technically on-point and sounded tight, which is exactly what you’d expect from the demi-gods of Canadian metal. They were listenable and I was relieved to not have that wretched feeling brought about by the dark throttles of death metal; Anvil are more of a party band.\n\nAnd to be clear, this was a party. Currently in the middle of a world tour, Lips seemed positively overjoyed to be playing for the raucous Canadian crowd with his skin-pounding best-friend Reiner, stating that his “dedication and love for playing is unsurpassed. I love seeing him smile, and you know what makes him smile?\n\nA raging fucking crowd like yourselves!” The nature of their rock ‘n’ rollercoaster relationship, forged through personal ups-and-downs, was the centre of the film and very much the centre of their show – the energy these guys (along with current bass player Glenn Five) radiated was positively infectious and a great deal of fun to experience live.\n\nThe crowd was as entertaining as the band. I was approached and touched by more men at this show than at any other. At one point a highly intoxicated man tried to get my attention by firmly touching my arm; I ignored it until his second attempt, at which point I snapped, “Don’t touch me.”\n\nHe tried a third time and this time I gave him the index finger, “Don’t fucking touch me!” Before sulking away he said, “Take it easy. I wanted to fist bump.” A moment later his friend did the same thing to me, asking if I was “okay.” I turned to him and said, “Don’t touch women you don’t know. Think about it.”\n\nHe seemed genuinely surprised by this XX nugget, which may offer an anthropological explanation for the gender-imbalance of the audience. Later on a roadie for the band sauntered up beside me, slung his arm around my shoulder and said, “I just … I just really like you.” I suspect that in addition to my pheromones, wearing glittery, heart-shaped antenna (doodle boppers!) on my head in honour of Valentine’s Day may have had something to do with the attention. I’ll take what I can get.\n\nThanks in large part to the film, Anvil are now clearly living their dream – how long it will last is another story entirely, but for now they deserve to enjoy themselves. The scene of Lips’ big hair, tight jeans, studded belt and V-shaped guitar was made complete by the guy in the Anvil shirt who rushed the stage, jumped on it and flashed a one-handed devil sign before disappearing back into the sea of head-banging fist-pumpers.\n\nBy the time they Lips introduced “Metal on Metal” as “your national anthem”, the crowd of mostly middle-aged men, many of whom were introduced to metal during Anvil’s first go-round 25 years ago, were singing along and re-living their own dreams, too."

"“Bourbon at the Border”",

"Poster contributed by Mary Dosch Poster for “Bourbon at the Border,” which opened in the Gladys Mullenix Black Theatre on Thursday, Nov. 11.\n\nAllegheny’s Playshop Theatre will present Pearl Cleage’s “Bourbon at the Border” under the direction of guest director Terrence Spivey. The production’s cast is set to make history as the Playshop Theatre’s first all-Black cast in its 91-year history.\n\n“Bourbon at the Border” recalls two Howard University students, May and Charlie, joining hundreds of other Americans in Mississippi in the summer of 1964 in efforts to register voters who had long been denied their rights. The show depicts how years later the characters are still deeply affected by the damage done to them during the “Freedom Summer.”\n\nSince its publication in 2005, “Bourbon at the Border” has been an impactful piece of writing for many people including the show’s lead actress Joy Ware, ’25.\n\n“I’d actually read ‘Bourdon at the Border’ my junior year of high school through theater,” Ware said. “I just fell in love with the story. I was completely caught off guard when I came here and heard they were doing auditions for it but I thought it was so cool.”\n\nWare is playing the role of May who has the most lines in the show, including a two and a half minute monologue. Though the role and the production can be demanding, she claims that the comradery of the show’s small cast has been a consistent source of support for her.\n\n“I really tried to put my all into the part,” Ware said. “It was a little intimidating at first but the cast is so inviting and they make everything easier for me.”\n\nOne of those cast members is Jamir Wilson, ’23, who plays May’s husband Charlie. Despite having no prior acting experience, Wilson was encouraged by his girlfriend to audition after she met Spivey on campus.\n\nWilson landed his part and has taken to Spivey’s acting tips even when Spivey recommends against acting.\n\n“Terrence makes sure we’re having fun and that we’re not necessarily trying to act,” Wilson said. “He says just be Charlie, or be Rosa, or May, or Tyrone. If you can be the character then there’s no acting.”\n\nThose names make up the entirety of the characters in the show. The cast is made up of just four members which has allowed Spivey and the cast to have meaningful conversations.\n\n“I love that it’s a small cast and with it being an all-Black cast we relate to each other a lot,” Ware said. “Working with (Spivey) has been great and he’s helped me feel more comfortable. I think there’s something special about a Black director with an all-Black cast. We’ve been able to touch on deeper topics like what Freedom Summer was all about and what it means for us to do this piece as young adults. So it’s comforting to have him engaging with us about things like that.”\n\nThis engagement with the topic has extended beyond the stage as well. The cast was encouraged to do some digging into their family history to find connections to the material.\n\n“(Spivey) will be like ‘get in touch with your great aunt or get in touch with someone who’s the age of the character you’re playing’ and we all did and so now I have an accent you’ll hear at the show,” Ware said. “But for all of us to take a look at our past, I feel like now we all know what it is to be Black beyond just knowing what it’s like today.”\n\nEngagement with racial injustice through the medium of theater has become a staple to Spivey’s work.\n\nAfter graduating from Prairie View A&M University with a Bachelor of Arts in theater, Spivey spent years at Cleveland’s Karamu House, the nation’s oldest African American theater, where he became the theater’s artistic director.\n\nCurrently, Spivey is a guest artist in residence at Allegheny and has taught a Black theater history class while directing the “Bourbon at the Border” production.\n\nThrough his work which includes his most recent award winning film, “Resurrection of the Last Black Man in 08:46,” Spivey has a reputation that precedes himself as someone willing to tackle heavy topics.\n\n“When they bring me in, those who look me up and Google me know a lot of what I’ve done has dealt with addressing large wounds that have been covered by Band-Aids,” Spivey said. “That kind of stuff is very taboo as a subject matter for me.”\n\nThe weight of the subject and the historical significance of being Allegheny’s first all-Black cast is not lost on those a part of making this history.\n\n“Sometimes you don’t know how special something is until it passes, but I’m just in the moment right now,” Wilson said. “I know this is going to start some big things for Allegheny theater. It’s important for Allegheny to showcase that they want to support stuff like this and put on an all-Black production. It’s important for us because representation is everything.”\n\nThe production’s level of Black representation has helped the cast appreciate the work that is being put into the show and made the experience more personal.\n\n“I can’t wait for people to see the set because I really love it, it’s amazing,” Ware said. “Terrence’s friend Richard Morris Jr. came all the way from the Karamu House to design the set and it looks great. Props to him because that’s a lot of work and he’s Black as well so there’s really a heartfelt feeling to all that work.”\n\nDespite the seriousness of the show’s theme, there are other aspects of the production that cast members are excited for the audience to see.\n\n“I really want the audience to be excited about the humor because I honestly think it’s pretty funny,” Ware said. “I know it handles a lot of intense topics but you can still laugh. It’s not just going to be super depressing. So I’m looking forward to that because we’ve really worked on landing the jokes.”\n\nWhile the cast handles systemic issues that span beyond their lifetime, they are embodying characters that do the same which contributes to the aspect of humor.\n\n“We’re all under 20 and we’re playing characters who are 40 years or older,” Wilson said. “We have to act older so it’s funny when you see it but I think we do a pretty good job at it.”\n\nSpivey seems to agree as he raves about his cast’s quality of work.\n\n“It has been gratifying working with these Allegheny performers and watching them embrace such an important play,” Spivey said. “They are all so smart and have really embraced their roles.”\n\n“Bourbon at the Border” will be performed in the Gladys Mullenix Black Theatre in the Vukovich Center for Communication Arts. Audience members must be masked during the performance and all showings are free of charge. Audience members will be encouraged to pay-as-you-wish with all donations benefiting the Tamir Rice Foundation. Show dates are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Nov. 11-13 at 8 p.m. as well as Sunday, Nov. 14 at 2:30 p.m."

"The Peninsula Manila is turning 40 years old this year.\n\nIt’s great to see that after the Mandarin closed in 2014 and the Intercon bid adieu in 2015, the Pen—one of the last from that batch of “institution hotels” in Makati—remains not only open, but radiant as well.\n\nThe Sunburst—the iconic sculpture by National Artist Napoleon Abueva on the Pen ceiling—truly keeps the Pen shining 24/7, year after year!\n\nThe hotel is making a great effort to celebrate with its guests.\n\nEscolta buffet—first known as La Bodega (carbon date yourself and say you’ve eaten here) then re-opened as Nielsen’s before becoming Escolta—is currently offering a promo, pricing the buffet at only P1,976 net this month of June.\n\nTo join in the festivities of celebrating Philippine Independence and Peninsula’s 40th, Chef Myrna Segismundo has created a special Filipino menu that will be available at the Upper Lobby from June 9 to 19.\n\nChef Myrna is a Peninsula “suki.”\n\nJust last year, she did a “four hands” collaboration dinner with Spain’s Michelin-starred celebrity chef Mario Sandoval of Restaurant Coque, where he showcased his mastery of roasts while she displayed her expertise in presenting traditional Philippine cuisine for a fine dining audience.\n\nFor the Peninsula’s 40th, Chef Myrna is cooking up a fiesta of 12 modern Filipino favorites. Among these favorites are: okoy, batchoy, taba ng talangka (crab fat) and bistek Tagalog.\n\nBut, since it is the Peninsula, what’s served is not your ordinary Filipino comfort food.\n\nOkoy is served with an ensalada of palm hearts, jicama and pomelo.\n\nAn excellent execution of batchoy comes with a side of siopao-inspired pork buns using the most delicious Pen-worthy bread.\n\nCrab fat shines even if it is the mere accent to a generous slab of sea bass.\n\nChef Myrna also serves her signature desserts such as the Queso de Bola cheesecake that many a Segismundo fan will be familiar with.\n\nSo if your business meeting falls anytime between the 9th to 19th, remember that there’s a special menu available at the Upper Lobby.\n\nAs an added treat, you will also get to experience the art of designer Kenneth Cobonpue.\n\nYou might get to sit on one of the Yoda chairs made famous at the Apec summit (and feel as powerful as Barack Obama) or on a Chiquita stool made of what looks like cork but actually rattan poles on a polyurethane cushion.\n\nYou have to try sitting on this stool—the “corks” contour to your butt! It’s like experiencing Manolo Blahnik shoes for the first time—you’ll be amazed at how good they feel!\n\nI asked how much one costs—it’s approximately P35,000 per stool.\n\nAs with marriages, it is now rare for a business to last 40 years.\n\nThe Pen’s success must be attributed to the consistent quality and constant upgrade of the amenities as well as the warmth of the staff, some of whom have been with the Peninsula for almost 40 years.\n\nLike many, I am a personal witness to the tender loving care from the Pen.\n\nOur family has celebrated every Noche Buena here since I was born, with a photo by its famous giant Christmas tree.\n\nAnother family that always spends Noche Buena here is the family of Consul Fortune Ledesma with son/host RJ Ledesma. It came to a point where we would bring Christmas gifts because we would always see them on Christmas eve.\n\nCongratulations to the Peninsula on its Ruby anniversary!"

"The nation was reminded last weekend that there are good cops out there protecting us. They’re vigilant and they put their lives on the line for us on a daily basis. We all applauded when police in New Jersey apprehended the New York City and New Jersey bomber after a shootout.\n\nThen Tulsa happened. Then Charlotte happened. They both reminded there is still a lot of work to be done in our nation’s police forces regarding equality. When we talk about race we talk about the work we’ve done and the work we have to do. When it comes to racism, profiling, police brutality, and shooting someone because they’re black, the police have work to do. Not you. Not me. The police.\n\nA cop in Tulsa, Oklahoma shot an unarmed black man. Donald Trump says the officer “choked.” No, Donald. Chocking is what I do when I attempt to say “President Donald cough, cough, cough, Trump.” Choking would be better applied to not shooting when you should shoot. George W. Bush choked in 2001 when he got a report that terrorist were about to strike the United States. Choking is what Donald will do when he debates Hillary Clinton next week.\n\nPolice in Charlotte, North Carolina shot a man Tuesday at an apartment complex. Many are saying he was unarmed while the police, who have not released a video, claims he was. A vigil in the city turned into a violent protest Wednesday. Riot gear-wearing police fired tear gas at demonstrators who threw bottles at police, blocked the interstate, threw objects at passing cars, jumped on vehicles, looted, vandalized a Hyatt hotel and attacked its employees.\n\nGovernor Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency and this time it’s not because a transgender walked into the wrong bathroom.\n\nHere’s the thing that’s going to be hard for conservatives to understand: These protests are not about one case. If it turns out police did shoot an armed man that doesn’t rectify the situation we’re living in. This is about a system. A System where a innocent black people are killed, or a black child for playing with a toy guy, or a man for selling loose cigarettes. A system where an actual terrorist planting bombs and shooting at police is taken alive.\n\nDonald Trump Jr. used the terrible Skittles analogy to warn us of bad refugees. Are we to live with bad cops? How about living with cops who don’t do bad things, but cover up or remain silent watching those who do?\n\nThe police have a lot of work to do.",

"Milwaukee has been burning.\n\nProtests turned to violence in the wake of a police shooting of a fleeing armed suspect in the city. The 23-year-old shot was a black man. Police are reporting the officer who did the shooting is also black. Governor Scott Walker has reportedly activated the National Guard.\n\nPolice say there was a body camera on the officer and it justifies the shooting as the suspect had turned toward the officer pointing his gun, but surprise, surprise, the audio was off. Technical issues seem to be a common occurrence in these police shootings when they go back to examine police footage of the incidents.\n\nWisconsin has been rated as the worst state for African Americans. The report was conducted by opinion and financial news website 24/7 Wall St (I’m not making these numbers up, people). The other states right behind are Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota where it’s probably really swell to live if you’re white or the artist formerly living named Prince. Sixty nine percent of the state’s black population lives in Milwaukee.\n\nIt probably doesn’t help the area That Milwaukee County Sheriff is David Clarke, also an African American, who loves to cite bogus statistics while denying the existence of racism and police brutality. Clarke has referred to the Black Lives Matter movement as a hate group and often calls them “sub-human creeps,” and “Black Lies Matter.” He loves Donald Trump and hates Beyonce (his panties are still in a bunch over her Super Bowl performance). He’s very popular with Republicans and spoke at their recent convention. No word yet on his opinion of Coldplay.\n\nI had fun drawing pants on fire. A colleague of mine uses the publicity poster of the Jim Carrey movie Liar, Liar, about once every six months. Since the film came out in 1997 he must consider it a real classic and keep it between Gone With The Wind and Casablanca in his DVD collection, or in his case, VHS.\n\nI almost gave the officer a Pinocchio nose but I couldn’t stomach the concept. It seems every political cartoonist has drawn Pinocchio (some several times) over the past year. Was there a memo sent among my profession that we’re not supposed to be irreverent anymore and I missed it?",

"On Saturday a deranged lunatic killed two New York City police officers while they were sitting in their car in Brooklyn. Earlier in the day the same psychopath shot his girlfriend in Baltimore. After shooting the policemen he killed himself.\n\nNow on the news and social media I see a lot of right wing rhetoric blaming the protestors, President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, NYC Mayor De Blasio, Al Sharpton and others for inciting this crime. NYC police officers turned their backs on the mayor at a news conference. The president of their union said the mayor and others had blood on their hands.\n\nThis shooter incited himself. He did not need protesters voicing opposition to a very real problem on police abuses to incite him.\n\nI do not think the police actions have earned them to be assassinated. But while right wing rhetoric say protesters have figurative blood on their hands, many police officers have literal blood on their hands. They’ve killed many black men and even children and a system is in place where they investigate themselves with very little consequence except for public outrage.\n\nThe police put themselves on a higher pedestal than those they police. Look at the police reaction in Brooklyn on Saturday. They closed down blocks, sent out officers in military, swat and riot gear, closed down subway stops, and had a helicopter circling above the neighborhood. Is that how they react when an officer kills a man suspected of selling loose cigarettes?\n\nThese same people who blame the protesters rushed to defend Sarah Palin of inciting the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Palin had posted cross hairs on Giffords Congressional district. Go figure. Of course Giffords wasn’t out abusing her authority to encourage being shot. Palin also stated “don’t retreat…reload.” Imagine the outrage if Sharpton had said such an inciting statement.\n\nCops don’t deserve to be shot down or assaulted in any way. They do deserve our respect and thanks for doing a dangerous job from which they may not come home from after each shift. They also deserve scrutiny and accountability. Saying as such and even being angry at them does not make anyone liable for the actions of lunatics.\n\nIf this man was incited to shoot cops then who or what incited him to shoot his girlfriend?",

"After a long and controversial battle, the Toronto Catholic District School Board has voted in support of using inclusive language in its amended code of conduct. The board’s updated anti-discrimination policy will now include the terms gender identity, gender expression, family status and marriage status. The decision, made at nearly 2 a.m. last Friday, was delivered on the heels of a subcommittee recommendation that the TCDSB exclude the inclusive terms.\n\nAs a parent to children enrolled in Catholic school, I’m encouraged by the board’s final vote, but the drawn-out debate required to get there has left a bad taste in my mouth. My two primary-aged children attend a close-knit Catholic school in Guelph, a choice I made with rose-coloured glasses four years ago. As a former Catholic school girl, I wanted my own children to experience the joy and tradition that I did, but as public schools have moved forward and embraced inclusivity, I’ve noticed Catholic schools have lagged behind.\n\nI’ve spent the last year questioning my decision to enrol my children in Catholic school, and have wondered how safe the space is for all families. Earlier this fall, my husband and I purchased a home in a new school zone, and the perfect opportunity presented itself. We carefully weighed our options, and decided that we would remove our children from the Catholic school system in early 2020, when we move, and enrol them in our local public school.\n\nThe TCDSB’s discussions around whether or not to include gender identity and expression in their discrimination policy is an obvious signal that Catholic schools are not prioritizing the safety of LGBTQ2+ students, or students who come from queer families. My conscience has been telling me that sending my children to a school that would exclude LGBTQ2+ teachers, and encourage policy that discriminates against queer students, isn’t setting the example that I want. My role as a parent is to protect my kids, and to raise them to be empathetic and inclusive, but how can I do that when the school that they attend doesn’t uphold those basic values?\n\nIn 2012 Ontario’s Catholic School bishops pushed back on an amended clause to Bill 13, the Accepting Schools Act. The concern was a new requirement that all government-funded schools must allow LGBTQ2+ students and allies to form queer-friendly clubs, and students must be allowed to call their clubs a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA), or any other chosen name. Before this bill was passed Catholic students were often turned down when they asked if they could form a GSA, or were asked to call their club by a different, perhaps less obvious name.\n\nOne of the first things I noticed about my children’s new school was its clear support for the LGBTQ2+ community, which includes a GSA for students in Grades five and up. I foolishly hadn’t noticed that their Catholic school doesn’t have a GSA, and I wasn’t able to find any mention of gender inclusivity on the school board’s website or published policies. Research out of the University of British Columbia shows that GSAs reduce the risk of suicide amongst LGBTQ2+ students and their cis peers. Statistics published through Egale Canada Human Rights Trust confirms that bullying and verbal and physical assault increase the risks of suicide in LGBTQ2+ youth, who are four times more likely to attempt suicide than their non-queer peers.\n\nThe changes made so far within the Catholic school board are thanks to teachers, board members, students and parents who are engaged in the fight for a safer environment for all students. TCDSB chair Maria Rizzo has been vocal about the call for inclusivity at the board level, and many others fight publicly, or perhaps more quietly, and their dedication is commendable.\n\nWhile the TCDSB’s recent decision is a step in the right direction, I hope that a vote for inclusive policy translates into a culture of obvious and clear inclusion within each school, too. It’s one thing to acknowledge queer students on paper, and it’s another to use direct action to prioritize their safety, inclusion and protection.\n\nGet more opinion in your inbox\nGet the latest from your favourite Star columnists with our Opinion email newsletter.\nSign Up Now\nBrianna Bell is a journalist whose work has appeared in the New York Times, the Globe & Mail and CBC.\nReport an error\nJournalistic Standards\nAbout The Star"

"Many an author dream to have half as much success as Paulo Coelho has had with The Alchemist, but little is known of his early beginnings. Before the ever-green work of art came about, Coelho’s writing career was just like any beginners: uncertain. His first book, Hell Archives, was published in 1982. The book did not do too well. Four years later, Coelho made contributions to Practical Manual of Vampirism, but he was unhappy with how the work turned out. In 1987, Coelho’s second book, The Pilgrimage, was published. The Pilgrimage was inspired by Coelho’s Pilgrimage through Spain. Coelho’s third book, The Alchemist, was born out of a trip he made to Egypt. Sufi tradition, in particular, played a strong hand in Coelho’s approach to writing The Alchemist. When the book was published, it was through a small publishing house that only managed to print 900 copies. Luck would have it that the book would attract the attention of Harper Collins, and the rest, as they say, is history.\n\nThe Alchemist is the story of Santiago, a boy who often has the same dream that tells him about finding treasure in Egypt. In a quest to find what Coelho calls a ‘Personal Legend’, the boy sets off from the Andalusian plains to Africa and is met with a lot of hurdles along the way. In reality, The Alchemist is a story of destiny, dreams, and the path to achieving our desires in life. One of the book’s famous one-liners is, “When you really want something to happen, the whole universe will conspire so that your wish comes true.” Coelho managed to write the book in two weeks, as it was ‘already written in his soul.’ In an interview with media mogul Oprah Winfrey, Coelho explained ‘Personal Legend’ in detail. “ I believe that every person is going to fulfill his or her personal legend…You are here to honor something called the miracle of life. You can’t be here to fulfill your hours and days with something that is meaningless. You know that you have a reason to be here. It is the only thing that gives you enthusiasm.”\n\nCoelho further said that when we choose to go against our personal legends, more often than not, we always know it. It manifests itself as a lack of enthusiasm for whatever we are doing. That once we say ‘I’m not ready,’ the most common excuse alongside ‘I have to wait for the right moment,’ we are simply betraying our ‘Personal Legend’. So we stay in jobs that we hate, and it doesn’t matter how much money we are being paid, we find ourselves unhappy for simply not listening to our own voices.\n\nWhen The Alchemist was published by Harper Collins, it found itself in the hands of many influential people. Oprah Winfrey revealed to Coelho that she learned about the book from Madonna, who could not stop talking about it. “ I was doing a show with Madonna, and Madonna said it was her favorite book. And I don’t think I’d even started the book club then…but she was going on and on about it… I thought ‘I’ve got to read this book that changed Madonna’s life.’” Oprah read the book and passed it on to everyone she knew. Coelho, still in conversation with Oprah, revealed that the book became a success through word of mouth. The book only became a bestseller because people passed it down to their loved ones. When celebrities talked about the book or were photographed with it, not much change happened, but all that effort combined attributed to the numbers going higher for weeks on end. Many celebrities have recommended the book: Will Smith Julia Roberts, Neil Patrick Harris, Tony Robbins, Pharrell William, and Issa Rae to name a few.\n\nWill Smith has, in past interviews, always expressed his love for The Alchemist. In an interview with Travis Smiley, Will Smith said, “One of my favorite books is The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho…and I believe that I can create whatever I want to create. If I can put my head on it right, study it, learn the patterns, and…it’s hard to put it into words, its some metaphysical, esoterica nonsense but I feel very strongly that we are who we choose to be.” Earlier in July, it was announced that Will Smith, through Westbrook studios, in partnership with Netter Films, was to adapt The Alchemist into a movie. Speaking on the Movie, Will Smith said, “ The Alchemist was my first literary affair. The concept of Santiago having a dream and risking everything to realize that dream really just blasted my mind open.” Writer and director Kevin Frakes called the book a ‘living, breathing organism.’\n\nWill Smith further dissected the message put across by Coelho in The Alchemist: “The whole of the universe is contained in a single grain of sand. Everything you need to know about life and about the world is contained in anything you are doing. You don’t have to go looking for it. Everything you need, you are in possession of.” Smith said he connected to the book’s concept. He called The Alchemist ‘a perfect a hero journey, that you can get in the story.’\n\nOnly weeks after the Cannes Festival announcement was made, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that production had come to a halt due to transfer of rights, and the crew had been sent packing. Through his Twitter, Paulo Coelho said: “ As for #TheAlchemist as a movie, I have no news and I do not want to get involved in the production. I will watch it when it’s ready. But I sold the rights in 1992, so ‘Maktub’. Previously, Coelho had tweeted that he’d never viewed the book as a movie.\n\nNevertheless, It’s clear that, for Will Smith, The Alchemist is a passion project that holds significance in his personal journey. Long ago, Smith followed his ‘Personal Legend’ when he auditioned to be The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He hasn’t stopped since and has voyaged through Hollywood graciously. The Alchemist is his gift to the world, perhaps the epitome of his purpose, wildly steered by genuine intentions. Whether it comes to life or not, It Is Written.",

"Chanel West Coast knows that the best revenge is living well… that’s why she hit her haters with some smoking hot pics!\n\nThe rapper lashed out at “hater humans” that allegedly sold a video of her to the media on Friday. While she didn’t specify which video or media company she was referring to, many fans believe her angry statement was about a video that allegedly showed her yelling at police officers that tried to shut down her birthday party earlier this month. After getting her emotions off her chest, she showed the haters who is boss by posting a lovely leggy photo.",

"“5’3 in real life, 6’3 in photos ? #LongLegs #modellife,” she captioned her stunning pic created in part by creative director, Sonny Chaotic.\n\nHer sultry snap was shared shortly after she expressed her anger at recent reports with text via her Instagram story.\n\n“2 forms of the devil living on earth: Alcohol & the media,” Chanel wrote, “Combined: they ruin lives.”\n\n“If you are not in the public eye do not judge those that are. Living with a microscope on you is not easy,” she continued.\n\n“Nobody is perfect. We all make mistakes here & there. It doesn’t mean we aren’t kind hearted, loving souls, amidst our mistakes.”\n\n“I have a huge heart. I love all humans. I spread love constantly.”",
null,
"After speaking her peace, she attacked people pushing a negative agenda against her.\n\n“F–k hater humans who sell videos of me to media, and f–k the hater media,” Chanel exclaimed.\n\n“Thank you to the true fans & media outlets that continue to support me when I’m constantly a target to be brought down. I appreciate the love and support deeply. God bless,” she concluded.\n\nChanel’s officially turned 32 on Tuesday, September 1 but she waited until the weekend to throw a raging party. Everyone appeared to be having a great time… especially Chanel, who was seen enjoying her favorite adult beverage, White Claws.\n\nThere was a video the appeared on the Daily Mail that showed the rapper having some sort of disagreement with some police officers that were called to shut her party down. The star was visibly upset and allegedly called the cops losers… but overall the party was a major success.\n\nIt didn’t take long for the rapper to get back in the studio. In fact, she just shared some chic snaps while trying to come up with her next big hit.\n\n“Studio Time,” she wrote across her coo pic with a multi-colored gif.\n\nWe also thought it was pretty cool that she was wearing a “Damn Gina!” shirt from the classic show, “Martin” paired with her designer bucket hat. Outfit aside, we respect that she is constantly keeping the creative juices flowing.",

"TUESDAY, Dec. 10, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Substandard care is common in birth asphyxia, and is most frequently due to human error, according to a study published online Nov. 17 in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica.\n\nStine Andreasen, M.D., from Nordland Hospital in Bodø, Norway, and colleagues analyzed compensation claims made to The Norwegian System of Compensation to Patients (NPE) concerning neurological sequela or death following alleged birth asphyxia, between 1994 and 2008. Hospital records, experts' assessments, the NPE decisions, the appeal body, and courts of law data were examined for 315 claims.\n\nThe researchers found that 161 claims were awarded compensation, of which 107 children survived (96 with neurological sequela) and 54 children died. Substandard care was often the result of human error, which included inadequate fetal monitoring (50 percent); lack of clinical knowledge and skills (14 percent); noncompliance with clinical guidelines (11 percent); failure in referral for senior medical help (10 percent); and drug administration errors (4 percent). System errors, such as poor department organization, lack of guidelines, and time conflicts were registered in only 3 percent of cases. Obstetricians and midwives were held responsible for substandard care in 49 and 46 percent of cases, respectively).\n\n\"Substandard care is common in birth asphyxia, and human error is the cause in most cases,\" the authors conclude."

"Most Americans agree that it’s important to have a social safety net. Bad luck and hard times can hit any of us, and when that happens there should be something there to keep us from falling into destitution while we work to get back on our feet. That’s what the safety net does – it helps people avoid extreme deprivation and produces long-term benefits, especially for children. But recent moves by the Trump administration could create holes in the safety net, allowing many working families to crash straight through.\n\nThe safety net works, but it works best when all those who need it can access it\n\nOur safety net programs work, and their benefits extend beyond the individuals who access them. We are all better off when children can participate in Head Start or receive high-quality child care while their parents work. We all see health benefits from increased access to immunizations and routine health care. Society and the economy improve when everyone who can work is able to find a decent job because they’ve had access to education and job training.\n\nSafety net programs are key part of our society, and it’s in our best interest to make sure that anyone who needs them can access them without fear. But recent proposed changes to immigration policies could mean that immigrant families and their U.S. citizen relatives will no longer be able to access these crucial programs without risking their ability to stay in the United States.\n\nFor more than 100 years, federal immigration law has contained a “public charge” provision. Someone is considered a public charge if they are likely to become “primarily dependent on the government for subsistence.” Anyone seeking a visa to come to the U.S. or anyone already here with a temporary visa who is applying for a Green Card must demonstrate that they, or someone in the United States sponsoring them, can provide for them and their dependents so they won’t be dependent primarily on public programs.\n\nSeveral factors are considered when determining whether someone is likely to become a public charge. Age, health status, education and job skills, assets, and financial resources are a few. Officials also look at whether or not the person is receiving certain kinds of government help, like cash assistance. But a recent draft proposal from the Trump administration would substantially expand the public charge test to consider virtually all safety programs.\n\nIf these changes take effect, most all kinds of assistance could be considered to determine whether you are likely to become a public charge. Using programs like Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), transportation vouchers for people in job training programs, energy assistance programs (LIHEAP), and many educational benefits (like Head Start and Pell Grants) would count against you.\n\nAnd officials won’t only be looking at you – the individual applying for permanent status. They would now be authorized to consider the history of your sponsor and anyone else in your household. So an immigrant parent whose U.S. citizen children attend Head Start would be considered to have used public services. This could mean they will fail the public charge test and their immigration status will be at risk.\n\nIf the federal government expands the public charge definition to include core programs like SNAP and SoonerCare for young families with children, this would effectively be defining more than half of all new mothers in the state as a public charge.\n\nClaiming the Earned Income Tax Credit, like more than 1 million Oklahomans, or using a tax subsidy to buy health insurance on the ACA exchange, as over 100,000 Oklahomans did last year, doesn’t mean that you’re dependent on the government. It means that you’re working, but not making enough meet all your family’s needs, as is the case for millions of Americans.\n\nIndividuals and families who take use these benefits are still paying taxes, contributing to the economy, and adding to the community where they live. The benefits of the safety net are not enough to live on – the safety net provides support to working families, not subsistence. If the federal government expands the public charge definition to include core programs like SNAP and SoonerCare for young families with children, this would effectively be defining more than half of all new mothers in the state as a public charge.\n\nExpanding our definition of dependence to include programs that support or help working families lift themselves out of poverty is bad policy that will harm millions of people. People in the United States should be able to access help (for themselves and their families) that they qualify for without jeopardizing their place here. It doesn’t benefit anyone if these families go hungry, or don’t seek out health care when they need it, to avoid being labeled as a public charge. It just makes them, and their communities, worse off. American values are about helping people move forward and up – not back down into sickness, hunger, and poverty.\n\nIt’s important to remember that right now these proposed changes are still just a proposal. It’s likely that the administration will formally publish the proposed changes later this summer, and then there will be a period for public comment. Advocates will be active during this comment period, and you can further those efforts by contacting your federal representative and senators to express your concern with the proposed changes. The Constitution gives Congress the power to make immigration policy. They can pass a resolution countering this proposed change to how “public charge” is defined.",

"Add this product to\nAshdown PiBass\n1/ 12",
null,
"Ashdown Engineering's PiBass head is the signature model of Polish bass legend Wojtek Pilichowski. I tested it along with the Mi12, a cabinet featuring a 12\" speaker. The two products combine to make a 240-watt stack that costs under $900, and has a total weight of under 42 lbs, so it's not hard to see why Audiofanzine pushed me to do this review.\n\nBefore I get into the details of the review, it’s useful to provide a little context about Ashdown itself.\n\nOut of the ashes of Trace Elliot\n\nGenerally speaking, when a corporation buys an instrument or amp brand, things change drastically for the latter. And when, Kaman bought the English brand Trace Elliot in 1992, the staff of the purchased company quickly paid the consequences. Such was the case of Mark Gooday, an engineer who used to be manager at Trace and got kicked out in 1997 during a staff reduction. Since Mark has the DNA of an entrepreneur, he decided to bounce back that same year and make a secret dream of his come true: Create his own brand.\n\nAshdown Engineering was thus established. Mark decided to name the company after his wife’s maiden name and decided to manufacture high-end amps, soldered by hand in the UK, just like Trace Elliot in its heyday. The brand started growing and interested itself for new technologies. It found itself as the forerunner in the Class D race with the famous Superfly.\n\nAshdown then entered the entry-level market and outsourced the production to Asia, in order to attract a new clientele with more accessible products. Today, the company has sold more than a million amps to bass players and offers miniature systems with a reduced price, like the PiBass and MiBass.\n\nThe PiBass features a switchable semi-parametric EQ, an active/passive switch and a boost for the highs. In terms of connections, it has a jack input, a headphones output, a DI out and only one speaker out (in Speakon format). The control panel lacks the classic VU-meter that is usually featured on Ashdown amps. Nevertheless, you can benefit from a blue LED that illuminates the Wojtek logo (the π symbol), which indicates the status of the amp.\n\nThe PiBass and Mi12 are both manufactured in the People’s Republic of China.",

"It’s obvious that with a 240-watt stack for less than $900, you can’t expect perfection. Sure enough, I noticed some finish problems right out of the box. In addition, the screws on the PiBass chassis weren’t tight enough and were slightly crooked. Did it get some service before reaching my hands? It’s possible.\n\nI then observed that the switches were slightly crooked (see the pictures), that engaging them produced noise (mainly the Bright control and the EQ switch), and, to finish, the EQ bands felt quite fragile. For its part, the speaker comes off better: The Tolex wasn’t applied with the utmost precision, but there’s nothing to complain about. If the workers that assemble the gear and, especially, those in charge of fixing the grill, learned how to drive the screws in straight, it wouldn’t be that bad.",
null,
"While the price can certainly entice beginners, often less wealthy and more cautious about purchases than more established bassists, I doubt that a semi-parametric EQ is the most pertinent tool for a newbie. Getting a decent sound from a simple equalizer requires some knowledge, and doing the same with the EQ on the PiBass also demands some hands-on experience. Although a semi-parametric design allows for much more precise and fine adjustments, it can also be much more confusing for the user.\n\nBesides, does a beginner really need that?\n\nEven if Aristotle said, he who can do more, can do less, I’m inclined to say that anything superfluous won’t be of much help to beginners. However, I must also admit that I’m not a Greek philosopher, but neither did Aristotle play bass!",
null,
"And I should add that the action of the three knobs to sweep frequencies is not limited to the mid frequencies only. They also affect the higher and lower ends of the frequency range. EQing the signal becomes a sort of precision test. Every time you touch a semi-parametric control you need to readjust the high and low frequency ranges, and vice versa. I bet that more than one beginner will be disconcerted by the PiBass and its torpid settings. Despite my twenty years of experience playing bass, I was also a bit lost.\n\nI had a real hard time getting sounds out of the stack during the listening session, so you’ll only be able to hear five examples (and my sincere apologies). I used my old JB Standard and a Beyerdynamic mic for the recordings, everything mixed with the DI signal on a Steinberg UR22 interface.\n\nThe first thing I noticed as soon as I plugged in was that the DI produced some noise, so I took the time to place the mic in such a way that it allowed me to lower the volume of the XLR output in the mix.\n\nSecond, with or without DI, the amp makes a lot of noise, especially the tweeter, which really ends up drilling your ears when you play on your own. It would be nice to be able to shut it off in the future with a simple volume control or a switch on the back of the speaker.\n\nI won’t question the versatility of the system: I was able to get the roundness of a Bassman, the nice mids of an Ampeg and the dynamics of an SWR. But, boy, was it hard! Given that, I decided to look for simpler sounds, but it wasn’t easy. I know how to set a semi-parametric EQ, I’ve done it many times, even if my gear isn’t equipped with one. But these three knobs really gave me a hard time. I can’t imagine having to deal with such a system onstage.",
null,
"The first sample is a take with the EQ off, to give you a reference. On the second one, I repeated the same line using the EQ, but not the semi-parametric section. For the third take, which consists in a more swinging groove, I looked for a round but precise sound. This time I added the semi-parametric, like on all following examples. A bit of pick playing on the fourth (I couldn’t manage to make it crunch as I wanted), and finally a slap example.\n\nI must admit that, for the price of the stack, the sounds it delivers are pretty varied. If you take the time to do it, you can really shape the signal and get a nice color out of it. But to reach that point you will first have to go through several stages, which I personally consider pretty arduous. They could’ve done it just as effectively, but made it simpler, which is something I hope for in the next PiBass version, if it ever exists.\n\nCould have been better\n\nIf the manufacturer were to offer a simpler product with a better finish for a couple of bucks more, I would be the first to recommend it to beginners. Ashdown can and must do better than this first attempt, to be competitive in the low-cost-and-compact market segment. Its power, reduced size and attractive price are for real, but the PiBass nevertheless needs some improvements in terms of manufacturing quality and components."

"Before John Glenn orbited the earth, or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as “human computers\" used pencils, slide rules and adding machines to calculate the numbers that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space.\n\nAmong these problem-solvers were a group of exceptionally talented African American women, some of the brightest minds of their generation. Originally relegated to teaching math in the South's segregated public schools, they were called into service during the labor shortages of World War II, when America's aeronautics industry was in dire need of anyone who had the right stuff. Suddenly, these overlooked math whizzes had a shot at jobs worthy of their skills, and they answered Uncle Sam's call, moving to Hampton, Virginia and the fascinating, high-energy world of the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory.\n\nEven as Virginia's Jim Crow laws required them to be segregated from their white counterparts, the women of Langley's all-black “West Computing\" group helped America achieve one of the things it desired most: a decisive victory over the Soviet Union in the Cold War, and complete domination of the heavens.\n\nStarting in World War II and moving through to the Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement and the Space Race, Hidden Figures follows the interwoven accounts of Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson and Christine Darden, four African American women who participated in some of NASA's greatest successes. It chronicles their careers over nearly three decades they faced challenges, forged alliances and used their intellect to change their own lives, and their country's future.\n\n“Meticulous… the depth and detail that are the book’s strength make it an effective, fact-based rudder with which would-be scientists and their allies can stabilize their flights of fancy. This hardworking, earnest book is the perfect foil for the glamour still to come.” - Seattle Times\n\n“Much as Tom Wolfe did in “The Right Stuff”, Shetterly moves gracefully between the women’s lives and the broader sweep of history . . . Shetterly, who grew up in Hampton, blends impressive research with an enormous amount of heart in telling these stories - Boston Globe\n\n“Restoring the truth about individuals who were at once black, women and astounding mathematicians, in a world that was constructed to stymie them at every step, is no easy task. Shetterly does it with the depth and detail of a skilled historian and the narrative aplomb of a masterful storyteller.” - Bookreporter.com",

"The demand for foreign-owned corporations to stop advertising in the Prothom Alo and Daily Star newspapers was allegedly given by officers from the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI), following the August 16 publication of a story on the army’s killing of five men in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.\n\nLater that day, army officials contacted both papers and criticised them for describing the dead men as “indigenous” people instead of “terrorists”, sources said on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.\n\nSince then, Prothom Alo – the most widely read newspaper in the country with daily sales of more than 500,000 copies – has lost at least 35 percent of its advertising revenue, while its English-language sister paper Daily Star’s revenue has plummeted about 25 percent.\n\nZiauddin Adil, who runs media buyer company Top of Mind, estimated in the past month the two newspapers lost at least $1.2m in advertising revenue.\n\nOn the day the articles were published, Bangladeshi telecommunications firm Grameenphone received a call from an army officer working at DGFI, instructing it to stop advertising in the two newspapers, a source said.\n\nThe Norwegian company Telenor, which is the majority shareholder of Grameenphone, confirmed in a statement to Al Jazeera that “along with several other large corporations, [it] received an instruction from the authorities to stop advertisements in two leading newspapers in Bangladesh”.\n\nAl Jazeera confirmed from several corporate sources – who requested anonymity because of the issue’s sensitivity – that Bangladesh’s three other major foreign-owned mobile phone companies – Robi Axiata, Banglalink and Airtel – along with consumer goods multinational Unilever also received and complied with the instruction.\n\nMahfuz Anam, editor of the Daily Star, acknowledged that major companies had suddenly stopped advertising with the paper, but he declined to respond when asked the reason why.\n\n“We are noticing an unusual drop in our advertisements,” he said. “This is totally unprecedented and not happening due to any market condition, nor any change in policy on the part of the advertisers. We are surprised, and we are looking at the possible reasons.”\n\nDGFI operates under the authority of the ministry of defence, which is headed by Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Bangladeshi law grants neither the government nor the army powers to intervene in companies’ advertising choices.\n\nMahbubul Hoque Shakil, a special assistant to Hasina, denied there was any such instruction. “This is a total lie. It is a blunt lie. [The government] believes in the freedom of speech and the freedom of media … There is no instruction, nothing.”\n\n“DGFI is an organisation which works for the defence services: that is the army, navy and air force,” Shakil added. “They don’t have any other job to do with the common people or the media. They did not give any instruction so far as I know.”\n\nHe pointed out after the August 16 articles were published, Prime Minister Hasina’s sister had written an article for Prothom Alo. “If we are against [this paper] how could she do that?”\n\n“There is no such instruction … as far as I know,” he said. “DGFI never gives such an instruction … We are just an organisation supporting law enforcement agencies, looking after the national interest. It is all just a rumour.”\n\nHowever, one senior manager at Grameenphone told Al Jazeera on the condition he would not be identified: “The DGFI officer said that we could no longer advertise in either the Prothom Alo or the Daily Star, and that steps would be taken against us if we defied the order.”\n\nThe warning was verbal and not put in writing, he said.\n\nGrameenphone was not told the reason for this. “We were only told that the order ‘comes from the top’,” the manager said.\n\nGrameenphone had planned on launching a new campaign the following day, and so it immediately pulled the planned advertisement in Prothom Alo, he said.\n\nMorshed Alam, executive director of media buyer Mindshare, confirmed on the evening of August 16 that Robi Axiata, Airtel, and Unilever asked his company not to buy any further advertisements in the two newspapers.\n\n“We were informed by our clients that due to unavoidable circumstances, we should stop all advertisements in Prothom Alo and Daily Star,” Alam said. “We initially continued to advertise in the magazine supplements, but that was also stopped.”\n\nAdil, the Top of Mind executive, said the country’s second-biggest mobile phone company, Banglalink, had told his company not to advertise in the two papers.\n\n“Since the [August] 16th evening, this client has asked us not to plan advertisements in either Prothom Alo or the Daily Star,” he said.\n\nAdil added: “Any advice of a media buyer would be to advertise in these two papers, in particular, Prothom Alo, as they are by far the market leaders”.\n\nRELATED: Bangladesh: Politics, religion and the limits of free speech\n\nSo far, Telenor is the only company to confirm having received instructions to stop advertising in the papers.\n\nRobi Axiata, a joint venture between a Japanese and Malaysian company, declined Al Jazeera’s request for comment, as did UK-Dutch-owned Unilever. A spokesperson for India-owned Airtel said claims the DGFI had ordered companies to stop advertising in the newspapers were “speculation – and I am afraid as policy – we don’t comment on speculation”.\n\nBanglalink, which is owned by a Dutch company, denied its decision to stop advertising in the two newspapers had anything to do with government pressure.\n\nIftekharuzzaman is the executive director of Transparency International Bangladesh who goes by one name.\n\nHe noted enmity between the prime minister and the two newspapers goes back to the period of emergency government in Bangladesh between 2007 and 2009, when an army-controlled caretaker was in power.\n\n“The papers were perceived to have supported the so-called ‘minus-two theory‘ of the military-backed caretaker regime, allegedly designed to replace Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia as leaders of the Awami League and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, respectively,” said Iftekharuzzaman. “It appears that the conspiracy theory has not been forgotten.”\n\nMore recently, the newspapers’ independent reporting on the ruling Awami League’s failure to hold free and fair elections, widespread administrative corruption, and the politicisation of governmental institutions has made it a thorn in the government’s side.\n\nIn March this year, Hasina accused the Daily Star of helping the Islamic “radical cause”.\n\nA few days later her son Sajeeb Wajed, an adviser to the prime minister, wrote that “the Daily Star has written one false story after another”, and called for the paper’s editor to be arrested for “treason”.\n\nReporters from both the Daily Star and Prothom Alo have been barred from the prime minister’s events in recent months.\n\nAkbar Ali Khan, a former secretary to the cabinet and a well-known civil society leader, said it was wrong for the government to “influence private companies in putting advertisements in newspapers” – if that were the case.\n\n“The government has already been putting various kinds of pressure on the media in the past, and they will continue to do so in the future. It is a continuous slide downwards,” Khan said.\n\nAccording to Iftekharuzzaman, companies know the government could make business impossible for them if they did not comply with the no-adverts instruction.\n\n“In Bangladesh, politics is business and business is politics … These companies would fear repercussions and not want to antagonise the government,” Iftekharuzzaman said.\n\n“I think it is a serious threat to freedom of media in Bangladesh.”",

"I recently realised that in all of my recipes which used chocolate as a main ingredient, I have never actually talked about its origins which is something I am about to change.\n\nThere is evidence of the use of chocolate in drinks from almost 4000 years ago. The ancient Maya and the Aztecs were known to use it in drinks however the chocolate they consumed was nothing like what we have today. Cocoa beans are incredibly bitter and need to be fermented before they begin to taste nice. Even then, we still dry them, roast them and add sugar before they get close to our mouths.\n\nThe name chocolate derives from the Mayan word ‘xocolatl’ Nahuatl (the language of the Aztecs) word ‘chocolātl’. The Mayans used chocolate in celebrations and religious events. As cocoa beans grew so easily in Mesoamerica, chocolate was widely available and as a result everyone had access to it regardless of social status. Chocolate was so well thought of that there are paintings of the Mayan gods drinking it.\n\nLike the Mayans, the Aztecs valued chocolate highly and also thought it had religious significance. They believed the removal of seeds from the pods they grew in was analogous to the removal of the human heart in ritual sacrifice. They would season chocolate with pepper and honey before they consumed it – almost like the world’s first chilli hot chocolate (except they drank it cold). Unlike the Maya, the Aztecs could not grow chocolate themselves as conditions were unsuitable so it was imported. As a result, cocoa beans were extremely valuable and were sometimes used a currency. When they conquered the Mayans, the Aztecs forced them to pay taxes (or ‘tributes’) in cocoa beans.\n\nSince then, chocolate has become a world-wide phenomenon. It is consumed everywhere in, frankly, ridiculous quantities. Back in 2014, Switzerland held the crown for highest chocolate consumption per head with the average person eating 9kg of chocolate a year!\n\nTo produce chocolate, the beans must be roasted, cleaned, have their shells removed and ground up to create cocoa mass. This is then heated so that the cocoa butter melts creating a smooth, liquid called cocoa liquor. This is then either processed or left to cool in large blocks of raw chocolate which is then sold to different chocolatiers.\n\nThe raw chocolate can be re-melted and the cocoa butter is separated from the cocoa mass. These are then recombined in different ratios along with sugar, milk and oils to create the chocolate we know and love. The cocoa mass must be ground up to very fine particles which is what gives the chocolate its smooth mouth feel and is why you can’t just add cocoa butter to cocoa powder and sugar to create chocolate – the cocoa powder has particles with almost four times the radius of those in professional chocolates.\n\nThe cocoa butter is also important to making good chocolate. When you make decorations, many recipes will call for tempered chocolate. This is where you melt the chocolate and when it is cooled, prevent the cocoa butter from setting, but stirring, until it gets to the right temperature. This is because cocoa butter has six different crystal forms only one of which is completely solid at room temperature and you don’t want your carefully crafted decorations to collapse before everyone sees them! One way around this is to buy compound chocolate where the cocoa butter is replaced with vegetable oils – this means that you don’t have to temper it!\n\nLuckily, the recipe this week doesn’t call for anything super fiddly like tempering chocolate. It does make one of the biggest cakes I have created though. With four layers sandwiched with cream and caramel, this cake is incredibly indulgent, exceedingly decedent and definitely worth it. It’s perfect to feed a crowd and if you only want a small one, you can easily half the quantities and only make a two-layer cake!\n\nCooling time: At least one hour\n\nFor the Icing:\n½ batch of caramel (see Millionaire’s Shortbread recipe which gives instructions for the full batch)\n\nPreheat the oven to gas mark 4 (180oC) and line four eight-inch baking tins (you may have to make the cakes in two batches if you have fewer tins and this will also help ensure the cakes all bake evenly). I like to butter the tins, put a circle of parchment on the bottom and then give it all a coating of cocoa.",

"Divide this into your tins and bake them for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.\n\nLet the cakes cool before filling them.\n\nTo make the icing, beat the butter for at least seven or eight minutes until it is light and fluffy. This step is imperative to making a smooth, spreadable icing.\n\nAdd half of the icing sugar and slowly beat it in to prevent covering the room in a layer of icing sugar.\n\nOnce it has been incorporated, beat the icing again on a medium to high speed for another five minutes.\n\nAdd the remaining icing sugar and repeat, beating for another five minutes. If the icing seems to be getting dry and clumping, add a tablespoon of the milk.\n\nAdd half of the caramel and beat it into the icing – the rest will be used later. The icing should now be smooth and delicious.\n\nOnce the cakes are cool, it is time to assemble them.\n\nIf the cakes are very domed in the middle, it’s best to level them a bit at this point. Us a sharp knife or a cake leveller to remove the top of each dome so the cake will be a more even shape.\n\nWhip the cream to soft peaks – it should be able to hold its shape but not have started to split!\n\nPlace the bottom layer on the cake board and pipe a circle of the butter cream around the edge.",

"When you add the final layer, add it upside down so the top of the cake is a smooth, flat surface. You may have to build the icing wall up a little higher on the third later to support this if your cakes aren’t completely level.",

"Cover the entire cake in a thin coat of icing and chill for an hour.\n\nOnce the cake has chilled, cover it in the remaining icing keeping about 4 tablespoons back for decoration.\n\nUse the reserved icing to pipe designs onto the cake. You can make them more visible by adding a little cocoa to the icing so it stands out.",
null,
"I hope you enjoyed this recipe and that you love the cake when you try it! If you fancy a little bit more baking, why not have a go at making some Brandy Snaps or for a quick and easy meal, make yourself some One Pot Pasta!\n\nHave a good one and I’ll be back next week with a delicious curry recipe – it’s even going to be vegan!"

"A Tuvalu family has been granted residency in New Zealand after claiming to be climate change refugees, saying they would be affected by climate change if they were forced to return home.\n\nThe unusual situation will not open the floodgates to such applications, but offers a peep into what the future may hold, experts say.\n\nBut it is the tip of the iceberg.\n\n“Many people from small countries that are going to be potentially flooded will claim refugee status and their claim will be based on the fact that they have nowhere to live and nothing to do with the fact whether or not they have relatives in that country.”\n\nCurrently, international law does not deal with climate change refugees “but it should and it will have to,” said Estrin.\n\nThe Tuvalu family, believed to be the first successful applicant for residency on humanitarian grounds where climate change is one factor, waited for two years for this decision.\n\nAccording to reports, the family of four first moved to New Zealand in 2007 but was without a legal status in the country since 2009.\n\nTheir two children, three and five, were born in New Zealand; the father works as a maintenance worker at a fast-food chain.\n\nIn November 2012 the family applied to be accepted as refugees. That claim was dismissed in March 2013. Then last month, a tribunal turned down their appeals because “they did not meet the refugee convention.”\n\nThe family appealed that decision on humanitarian grounds and won.\n\nAccording to The New Zealand Herald, the tribunal found “exceptional circumstances . . . which would make it unjust and unduly harsh for the family to return to Tuvalu.”\n\nClimate change isn’t the only reason why the family is being allowed to stay: the family has three generations of relatives living in New Zealand and the children were born there.\n\nTuvalu is a tiny, remote island in the Pacific between Hawaii and Australia with a population of less than 11,000. The average elevation in Tuvalu is about two metres above sea level and is considered to be among the places that could sink if sea levels continue to rise.\n\nClimate scientists have said that the sea level will rise between 15 centimetres and nearly a metre over the next hundred years as greenhouse gas emissions lead to global warming.\n\nIt could seal Tuvalu’s fate.\n\nLynda Collins, a professor at the University of Ottawa’s Centre for Environmental Law and Global Sustainability, calls it a “significant early decision. Ultimately, there will be many cases like this filed.”\n\nPeople impacted by climate change will need help and “the global community will have to deal with it,” said Collins. “We created this problem and we will have to handle it.”\n\nEnvironmental grounds, including climate change, will be included in international refugee treaties, said Collins, adding that it would be a gradual process.\n\nThe International Refugee Convention does not recognize victims of climate change as refugees; in Canada, climate change is not accepted as a reason for a refugee claim.\n\nThere is also no international institution solely responsible for addressing climate change-related migration, Estrin pointed out.\n\nBut for many vulnerable populations, migration may be a necessary form of adaptation to the negative impacts of climate change, he said. “And of course, there will be a host of challenges for small island states.”\n\nSome states have created “national programs to host migrants fleeing major natural disasters but that protection is temporary,” he said.\n\nThe Tuvalu family’s claim wasn’t the first filed in New Zealand. A few months ago, a man from Kiribati, another Pacific island nation, asked a court in New Zealand to grant him refugee status, claiming that rising sea levels made it too dangerous for him and his family to return home.\n\nThe claim was rejected."

"This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court announced it won’t review the Bill Cosby criminal case. As a result, he’ll remain free after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his conviction last year. Nevertheless, we’ll be hearing more about the disgraced comedian in the coming months anyway. A civil lawsuit from accuser Judy Huth is set to go to trial on May 9. That’s one of the Gloria Allred-driven cases that paused for Cosby’s criminal prosecution in Pennsylvania. Now it’s proceeding full steam ahead. Huth says she was 15 when she was assaulted by Cosby at the Playboy Mansion in 1974.\n\nWill we finally see Cosby speaking up on the witness stand at the forthcoming trial? That’s doubtful, and something that deserves some special attention as this entire situation has really showcased the interplay between criminal and civil law.\n\nSome exposition: About fifteen years ago, after an investigation, the Montgomery County D.A. stated in a press release that Cosby wouldn’t be charged for sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, then a 31-year-old employee of the Temple University athletic department. According to Bruce Castor, the D.A. at the time, he found Constand to be credible and thought her best shot at justice would be in a civil lawsuit—where the burden of proof is lower and Cosby would have to testify. By not charging Cosby, after all, the entertainer wouldn’t be able to assert his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.\n\nCosby did testify in the old civil case, which then settled. But when that civil case testimony was later used in the criminal case—a venue where Cosby should have been able to avoid self-incrimination—the Pennsylvania Supreme Court saw a violation of Cosby’s due process rights. That’s why his conviction was overturned.\n\nOK, so why won’t we see Cosby answering questions during the Huth trial? Well, because the law has changed—partly due to the Cosby scandal, itself, and because of the #MeToo movement, too. In the last five years, the California legislature has expanded the statute of limitations for sexual abuse in both the civil and criminal contexts. That means victims (especially those who were victimized as minors) have more time until they hit the deadline to bring charges, which many will cheer. But it also means that defendants in civil suits have the possibility of more prosecutions lingering. And so, these defendants will assert the Fifth Amendment without getting assurances of no criminal charges.\n\nIndeed, just last month, when considering Cosby’s refusal to answer questions during a deposition, the judge in the Huth case came to a finding that Cosby did, in fact, face a real and appreciable risk of self-incrimination and potential prosecutions in at least two states, California and South Carolina. His assertion of the Fifth Amendment was deemed proper. That analysis won’t change for trial.\n\nOne of the Ugliest Divorces in Hollywood History…\n\nJohnny Depp’s libel trial against ex-wife Amber Heard over what she wrote in a Washington Post op-ed will be televised, thanks to a judge’s order this past week. It’s among the ugliest divorces in Hollywood history, a he-said-she-said tale of domestic abuse. And now, the Virginia judge overseeing the case is allowing a pool camera to be present. A summary judgment hearing is scheduled for March 24. “I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out,” wrote Heard, who is also pressing counterclaims against Depp.\n\nMeanwhile, some other news from my notebook: The government’s antitrust case against Meta won’t be heard until 2024 at the earliest, according to a new schedule from the parties. That’s a long time—especially in the technology sphere—to address the allegedly anti-competitive acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, which already happened nearly a decade ago. The first phase of the trial between the F.T.C. and Facebook’s parent will be a “liability” portion. Only if Meta loses will the trial then consider the remedy.\n\nAlso, for those watching Hulu’s The Dropout, you’ll have to wait until September to learn how much jail time Theranos C.E.O Elizabeth Holmes will see for her fraud conviction. That’s when a sentencing hearing is scheduled. But a separate fraud trial for her former top lieutenant (and lover) Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani begins later this week.\n\nFor months, I’ve been marveling at the feud between California regulators and their federal counterparts over alleged sexual harassment at Activision Blizzard, Bobby Kotick’s gaming behemoth, soon to be sold to Microsoft for $69 billion. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before, and it keeps getting weirder. The latest twist, detailed in a court filing this past Thursday, entails a rather astonishing and quite rare use of the Freedom of Information Act by a government entity against another government entity.\n\nLast July, California’s Department of Fair Housing and Employment (D.F.H.E.) filed a breathtaking lawsuit against Activision. The suit was filled with allegations of an appalling work culture, including an obnoxiously drunk, female-harassing male managers, and an executive who worked in what colleagues called the “Cosby Suite” (you can hypothesize about the reference). The complaint went viral. In fact, when Microsoft announced it would buy Activision in January, almost everyone was quick to note the legal problems the company was facing. It might have contributed to Activision’s decision to sell.\n\nIn September, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced it had come to a $18 million settlement with Activision—essentially a rounding error on the company’s net revenues of nearly $9 billion last year. That had the aforementioned D.F.H.E. erupting in rage. Attempting to stop the settlement, California’s regulators insisted to a federal judge that it was the more protective agency, and that the feds’ deal would basically compel Activision to destroy evidence before California got its own shot at the company at trial. That’s right—destroy.\n\nThe E.E.O.C. reacted with its own jaw-dropping document dump—including conversations between the agencies from the past couple of years that the judge later decided should have been sealed. Whoops. These filings detailed a worksharing agreement between the agencies, and how a pair of investigators had switched teams. The Commission alleged that the California agency’s work was tainted by conflicts and professional misconduct. The feds also defended its proposed settlement on the merits.\n\nJust before Christmas, however, the judge refused to let the California agency intervene in the case. He said there was no way he’d allow destruction of evidence, and if California had something to say about the worthiness of the settlement, it could file an amicus brief like anyone else. The California regulators didn’t need to participate as a formal party in this case.\n\nBut California didn’t give up. The agency subsequently filed an appeal to the 9th Circuit, and demanded that the judge halt all proceedings in the interim. The judge, still not understanding what advantage California’s regulators wished to gain by such measures, rejected the request on February 23rd.\n\nAnd yet, they refused to let it go! This past week, the California agency rushed to the same judge, brandishing a supposed new revelation: The E.E.O.C. doesn’t have authority in the first place to pursue a settlement in federal court, the D.F.H.E. now insists. The basis for such a bold claim? Evidently, it derives from something most investigative journalists routinely experience—a rejection of a Freedom of Information Act request.\n\nA few weeks ago, it turns out, the California agency demanded records from their federal counterparts, using FOIA, to gain access to documentation regarding the latter agency’s vote to file litigation against Activision. When this particular FOIA request was denied because there evidently were no records fitting the description of what was sought, the D.F.H.E. seized upon the rejection letter as some sort of smoking gun that showed the E.E.O.C. lacked authority to be making hay of sexual harassment at Activision in federal court. Never mind that the same lack of green light on filings can be said of a pretty relentless California agency. After all, the judge has already rejected its motions to intervene here. Someone’s not taking the hint.\n\nThe astonishing turf war continues between two agencies that are both tasked with policing civil rights in the workplace. If this was a conservative state fighting against the Biden administration, that would be newsworthy enough. But what we’ve got here is an epic grudge match taking place in the midst of a post-#MeToo reckoning between two ostensibly progressive agencies. The disintegration of the relationship between the two could have fallout for other investigations now being pursued.",

"Change in the air\n\nThe Handmaid's Tale returns with a burning desire for justice - and a promising hint of hope.\n\nWarning: This contains spoilers for Season and 2 of The Handmaid’s Tale. Not caught up? Read our spoiler-free review of Season 1 here.\n\nSeason 2 of Hulu’s drama left Margaret Atwood’s book behind, and descended into a repetitive, gruelling cycle of nasty abuse and burgeoning rebellion, one that ultimately moved away from dramatic territory and towards something verging on sadism. The prospect of going back to Gilead for a third dose of cruelty and resistance, then, isn’t exactly one to relish. But for the first time, there’s hope in the air – and, after two bait-and-switch seasons of frustration, that hope is allowed to linger.\n\nWe pick up where we left off, with June in the rain-drenched street, turning away from freedom so that she can go back to Gilead and wreak vengeance. It was a surprising move, one decided by the show’s writers more than her character, but Moss does a fantastic job of selling June’s conviction to make a difference; as she storms back to Gilead, with a little help from Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford), the shock from Emily (Alexis Bledel) is soon forgotten, thanks to Moss’ determined, scowling mask of retribution. She may be trusting Nicole to Emily, but she’s doing it to get Hannah, her older daughter, out from Gilead too.\n\nIt’s a quest retains an added urgency given the events of the real world, which have seen women’s access to abortion in certain parts of the USA unjustifiably, immorally limited – The Handmaid’s Tale may have verged into gratuity last season, but it hasn’t lost an iota of its rage-inducing relevance.\n\nThat rage is spreading, too, as we see Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) taking dramatic steps to draw a domestic line in the sand, burning down her whole household (a stunningly shot scene that’s as jaw-dropping as any other visuals the show has served up to date).\n\nAnd yet there’s still a tragic fatalism looming over it all, as June seems to acknowledge that she will probably never be free of Gilead and will likely die there. One who won’t, though, is Emily, as we see her flee to Canada – a sequence that isn’t surprising in any way, but certainly is satisfying. Alexis Bledel conveys so much in her facial expressions alone, as she moves from fear at the policeman who finds her across the border to relief, but not before working through trauma and terror – even as she’s applauded by the staff of a nearby hospital. Emily even manages to track down Luke and Moira, with baby Nicole in tow – and a picture of Hanna to boot, which makes their reunion all the sweeter.\n\nBack in Gilead, things are darker for June, as she’s swapped over to a new host family. Until, that is, we realise that her new host will be Bradley Whitford’s Lawrence, a man whose loyalties remain enigmatic but whose actions place him firmly on the side of the rebellious handmaids. There’s the hint of a smile as he welcomes her to his house, which paves the way for a rewarding new dynamic that gives The Handmaid’s Tale a much-needed breath of fresh air – wafted by a new situation that won’t simply revolve around repetitive punishments.\n\nThere is, of course, punishment for the abduction of Nicole, and June is whisked away to the Red Centre to receive it. But as she’s strapped to a table, the camera pulls away from the room and backs down the corridor, leaving the cruelty to take place off-screen at last – a sign that things are turning over a new leaf in more ways that one.\n\nThat’s evident in the way that the show is opening up its focus to explore the greyer areas of its moral fringes. Yvonne Strahovski’s Serena is at the heart of that, as we once again get challenged over how much sympathy to have for someone so instrumental in the formation of Gilead; on the one hand determined to do anything to get back Nicole after June handed away “her” child, on the other angry and sick of Fred (Joseph Fiennes), and yet also saddened by the idea of losing her place within this oppressive society, she’s a fascinating presence, with Strahovski always peeling back new layers.\n\nEven Ann Dowd’s Aunt Lydia, who is beaten up in the opening chapter, finds new horrific ways to balance tenderness and authoritarian abuse – one second, she’s showing concern and respect for June’s continued presence, the next she’s beating people with a walking stick. She’s an outspoken foil for Joseph Fiennes’ Commander Waterford, who is increasingly resigned and powerless while still demonstrating time and time again the doors that can be opened through the calm pretence of order and the careful manipulation of international politics – seeing he and Serena coordinating filmed broadcasts to call for the return of Nicole are chillingly plausible.\n\nBut while the complicated bonds that form between women, children, adoptive mothers and biological parents run through the season with growing nuance, the most interesting addition to the mix is Whitford’s Lawrence, who, like Serena, appears to be showing signs of regret, if not redemption. His concern, more than anything, is for his wife, and their marriage – and apparent refusal to participate in Gilead’s mandated monthly bedroom ritual – is a source of positivity and compassion in a world so often missing it. Their scenes are the closest, in some ways, to the glimpses of the outside world that we still get peppered throughout – scenes that take us back to just before Gilead established itself, and only get more harrowing with each new detail. (Street protest footage feels like it could have been ripped from current news broadcasts.)\n\nLawrence, though, remains a central rock of the Gilead society, and underneath his seeming kindness is a visible streak of self-preservation, and Whitford is brilliant at juggling all of those shades of grey beneath his flawless white beard – a scene that sees him reading a book to a group of children is wonderfully conflicting.\n\nWhile The Handmaid’s Tale has renewed its focus on characters, though, its story still hasn’t quite found the groove of its first season, with the pacing as uneven as the second. But as a plan to evacuate kids from the state takes hold during the final half, things get grippingly tense, fuelled by the growing ruthlessness of June, who, at one point, even accidentally pulls a gun on a child.\n\nWith Elisabeth Moss sinking her teeth into June’s dilemma, the constant threat of narrative inertia and repetitive plotting is overtaken by a thrilling drive towards a climax that, finally, gives us something to hope for. If Season 1 impressed by immersing us in a shared feeling of loss and dread, Season 3 marks a return to form by inviting us to share in moments of joy as well as fear, and witness tears that are happy as well as sad. The result is the run of episodes that Season 2 should have been, and leaves you cautiously optimistic for Season 4, especially if Margaret Atwood’s new book, The Testaments, provides new material for the show to navigate.\n\nThe Handmaid’s Tale Season 3 finale is available on All 4 until 1st October 2019."

"Every parent tells their children not to talk to strangers, whether they offer them candy or are walking cute little puppies. And although it seems like children only get lured by kind-looking kidnappers in the movies, it does actually happen sometimes.\n\nRecently, “Viper” McDonald was in the park with his son when he saw something that other people might might not have noticed.\n\nBut Viper, on the other hand, is hard to forget. His face is covered with tattoos, and while he might look a little scary on the outside, I guarantee that in this case, looks are deceiving.\n\nViper was in a park in Falkirk, Scotland, where he lives, when he recognized two girls that lived near him and his son, Brandon.\n\nSoon, a man who was around 50 years old came cycling through the park. When he reached the girls, he stopped. And after a short chat, the girls started following the man toward a wooded area.\n\nViper realized that someone was off and rushed to rescue, writes The Daily Mail.\n\nViper apprehended the man and told the girls to run to his wife, who was still in the park. Then, he held the man while his family called the police.\n\nTo trick the girls, the man said he had lost his jacket and asked the girls for help him to find it.\n\nBut thanks to Viper’s quick thinking, the monster was arrested and brought to justice.\n\nWhile one of the girl’s mother expressed her anger toward the man who tried to fool the girls, the other mother chose to draw attention to Viper and honor him as the hero he is.\n\n“This is the people you should be sharing and talking about not the beast that’s currently in a jail cell!! People who put the safety of their community first and aren’t afraid to question a situation that looks wrong,” she wrote on her Facebook page.\n\nNever judge a book by its cover, as they say.\n\nPlease share this story if you also think that Viper is a fine example of humanity.\n\nHe might look a little different, but it’s the inside that matters."

The repeated security incidents on IoT devices represent a rising trend for IoT attacks with a huge increase in IoT security breaches 2021.\n\nThe proliferation of connected devices in consumer, enterprise, and healthcare organizations, and their internal vulnerabilities, have created a security blind spot where cybercriminals can launch a Zero-day attack to compromise devices like webcams, smart TV, routers, printers, and even a smart home.\n\nHere’s a list of 10 severe threats created by connected devices:\n\nIt seems cybersecurity issues with smart security cameras alarmed customers after Xiaomi Mijia’s vulnerabilities were exposed. The incident came to light after Dio-V, who owns a Google Nest Hub and several other Xiaomi Mijia cameras around his home, claimed that he received images from other people’s homes, randomly, when he streamed content from his camera to a Google Nest Hub.\n\n“When I load the Xiaomi camera in my Google Home hub, I get stills from other people’s homes,” Dio-V said.\n\nThis isn’t the first incident where smart security cameras posed an issue.\n\nRing, a home security products provider owned by Amazon, was hit by a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. for reports of multiple hacking incidents on its security cameras that left victims traumatized.\n\nSecurity researchers from cybersecurity firm Bitdefender discovered and reported a flaw in Amazon’s Ring Video Doorbell Pro, which could have given hackers unauthorized access to the user’s Wi-Fi network and potentially to other connected devices on it. At present, all the Ring Doorbell cameras have received a security patch from Amazon to mitigate the issue.\n\nIn response, Amazon rolled out patches for the vulnerabilities and urged its users to update their devices to firmware version 2.13.11 or later.\n\nYaniv Balmas and Eyal Itkin, security researchers from Check Point, discovered that fax machines have security vulnerabilities that could possibly allow a hacker to steal data through a company’s network using just a phone line and a fax number. The researchers also demonstrated how they were able to exploit security flaws in a Hewlett Packard all-in-one printer at DEFCON 26 conference.\n\nDescribing the potential threat, the researchers said the attackers can send specially created malware coded image files via fax to the targeted networks. The vulnerabilities in the fax machine enable the malware to decode the files and upload these to its memory, which can breach sensitive information or cause disruption across connected networks.\n\nAccording to the FBI, smart TVs have several overlooked and neglected security issues. It stated that security is an afterthought for several smart TV manufacturers, which makes them vulnerable to different kinds of threats. Hackers can not only control your unsecured TV for changing channels or volume controls, but also stalk your everyday movements and conversations using the integrated camera and microphone.\n\n4. Smart Bulbs can be Hacked\n\nMultiple reports disclosed security vulnerabilities in smart bulbs. According to Murtuza Jadliwala, a research expert at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), hackers can compromise infrared-enabled smart bulbs by sending commands via an infrared invisible light emitted from the bulbs to exploit other connected IoT devices existing on the home network.\n\nA Milwaukee-based couple suffered a horrifying incident after their Smart Home setup was hacked by unknown intruders, Fox 6 News reported.\n\nThe couple Samantha and Lamont Westmoreland stated that hackers took over their smart home by compromising the connected devices. The attacker played disturbing music from the video system at high volume while talking to them via a camera in the kitchen, and also changed the room temperature to 90 degrees Fahrenheit by exploiting the thermostat.\n\nInitially, the couple thought it was a technical glitch and changed their passwords, but the issue continued. The duo later changed their network ID, after realizing that someone hacked their Wi-Fi or Nest system.\n\n6. Smartphone’s Microphone Can be Used to Launch Acoustic Side-Channel Attack\n\nAcademic researchers from England and Sweden designed malware that can exploit a smartphone’s microphone to steal the device’s passwords and codes. In their report, “Hearing Your Touch: A New Acoustic Side-Channel on Smartphones,” the researchers claimed that they’ve found the first acoustic side-channel attack that presents what users type on their touch-screen devices.\n\n7. Hackers can Steal Your Identity and Bank Details from a Coffee Machine\n\nSmart coffee machines that are connected to the internet using special apps could be targeted by hackers to steal their owner’s bank or card details.\n\nVince Steckler, chief executive of security giant Avast, said, smart coffee machines allow owners to control them remotely using their phones. Users can even give the machines vocal commands if they are connected to virtual assistant software such as Amazon’s Alexa.\n\n“Coffee machines are not designed for security. They are additional vectors to get into your network. And you can’t protect them,” Steckler said in a media statement.\n\nAccording to security research firm Quocirca, printers that are connected to an organization’s network are the potential vector for cyberattacks. In its report, “Global Print Security Landscape, 2019,” Quocirca addressed the potential security vulnerabilities posed by connected printers.\n\nThe report highlighted that 60 per cent of businesses in the U.K., U.S., France, and Germany suffered a print-related data breach in 2019, which resulted in a data loss that cost companies an average of more than US$ 400,000.\n\n9. Smart Speakers Can be Hacked\n\nWu HuiYu and Qian Wenxiang, security researchers from Tencent Blade, exposed vulnerabilities around smart speakers in a live demonstration at the DEFCON security conference on how to hack a smart speaker. The team used Amazon Echo smart speakers to present their attack program.\n\nThe researchers hacked the speaker by adding a malicious device embedded with an attack program. They also notified their findings to Amazon before the presentation, and Amazon pushed a security patch to fix the issues.\n\n10. Even Internet-Connected Gas Stations are Vulnerable\n\nIn its report, “The Internet of Things in the Cybercrime Underground,” Trend Micro described how Russian hackers have benefited from the Russian government’s new directive, which mandates replacing all electricity meters in the country with smart meters. Trend Micro stated that hackers in Russian dark web forums requested information on how to exploit smart meters. Some hackers are even selling altered smart meters in the underground market forums. Researchers also revealed that they’ve seen tutorials on gas pump hacking, including step-by-step procedures on how to hack connected meters.\n\nRudra Srinivas is a Feature Writer and part of the editorial team at CISO MAG.

"What is the difference between footing and foundation?\n\nWe have already discussed types of foundation and their basics. Now it’s time for the very very basic question that we all have in mind what is really footing and foundation?",
null,
"Foundation means the whole substructure that remains below the ground level (Green Shade) to support the load.\n\nThe footing is a part of foundation system, footings are commonly found in shallow foundation such as isolated footing, stepped footing and combined footing where you can distinguish the bottom most part from others.",
null,
"Here the strap beam and the other two column pedestals are combinedly known as the foundation. However, the lowermost part of the column which transfers the load to the end is known as footing.\n\nNot all the foundations are footings but all footings are part of a foundation."

"The beat of the African drum is keeping time. Young girls are performing a traditional South Sudanese dance. The streets leading to Juba International Airport are lined with onlookers. I’m told they are regular citizens who have come to welcome the president.\n\nPresident Salva Kiir is arriving home from peace talks in Arusha, Tanzania, where the three factions of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) have agreed to reunify as one party.\n\nWhen civil war erupted in South Sudan in December 2013 the party divided; the ruling government led by Kiir, the Opposition led by his former vice-president and the detainees.\n\nToday the president arrived on a chartered Kenya Airways flight. Surrounded by an entourage of other officials and military personnel, he walked the red carpet. He did not speak with the throng of waiting local and international journalists. I was not permitted to photograph him despite carrying two photo IDs, declaring me an international and local journalist, since I am working with a local crew. I could get no explanation for this, but it seemed to be that my camera was not big enough!\n\nThe SPLM party spokesperson told reporters, “This agreement is a watershed in the history of the people of South Sudan. It is a cornerstone in our search for peace.\"He admitted it is not a final peace agreement but declared 2015 the year of peace and reconciliation in South Sudan.\n\nThe reporter I was working with wanted to know how the party would share power now that they have reunified. The spokesperson refused to answer.\n\nSome tell me the deal is a good start, an important step. Others say it means nothing. Peace deals have been signed before, but none has ended the war.\n\nStill, the dancers danced to the beat of the drum. The crowd, now much larger, waved tiny paper South Sudanese flags. Their pride evident, their hope undeniable. I hope it means something."

"By MICHAEL DUNN\nSpecial to The Japan Times\n\nBefore the age of discovery, Europe had been separated for hundreds of years from the Indian Ocean by an impenetrable crescent of territories largely hostile to Christians. The Venetians — always more interested in commerce than proselytizing — controlled whatever trade there was with Asia through their network of outposts in the Eastern Mediterranean.\n\nIn order to usurp this monopoly, and spread the Catholic faith, now-legendary Portuguese explorers such as Bartolomey Dias (d. 1500), Afonso de Albuquerque (1453-1515) and Vasco da Gama (1460-1524) were motivated to find a way around Southern Africa into the Indian Ocean and its surrounding countries with their legendary riches. In their wake came merchants and priests who established a network of trading posts linking Lisbon to Mozambique, India, Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka), Siam (present-day Thailand), the Spice Islands of Indonesia, Malaysia, China and Japan. They left an indelible mark that is still evident in family names, everyday language, churches, architecture and cuisine across what was their vast empire.\n\nIn order to usurp this monopoly, and spread the Catholic faith, now-legendary Portuguese explorers such as Bartolomey Dias (d. 1500), Afonso de Albuquerque (1453-1515) and Vasco da Gama (1460-1524) were motivated to find a way around Southern Africa into the Indian Ocean and its surrounding countries with their legendary riches. In their wake came merchants and priests who established a network of trading posts linking Lisbon to Mozambique, India, Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka), Siam (present-day Thailand), the Spice Islands of Indonesia, Malaysia, China and Japan. They left an indelible mark that is still evident in family names, everyday language, churches, architecture and cuisine across what was their vast empire.\n\nIt is only fitting then that a major new museum of Asian art should be founded in the capital of Portugal, the home of the great explorers who voyaged the world during the 15th and 16th centuries in search of spices, fortune and souls to save. The Museu do Oriente that opened last year in Lisbon operates under the umbrella of the Orient Foundation ( Fundaco Oriente), which was previously headquartered in Macau before the territory was returned to China in 1999.\n\nThe foundation is known for being well-funded and active in sponsoring cultural and scholarly projects throughout Asian territories that were previously under Portuguese influence or control. The museum is housed in a spacious building of 15,000 sq. meters near the River Tagus, from where the nation's great voyagers set sail. Once a warehouse, the building has been completely renovated by the architects Carrilho da Graca and Rua Francisco to provide display space, storage and an auditorium together with various rooms for educational projects.\nOn display are selections from the museum's inventory, which consists of two main collections: one of objects relating to the Portuguese presence in Asia; and another of diverse Asian artworks originally accumulated by the benefactor Kwok On. In addition, the museum is active in presenting specialized exhibitions, performing arts, movies, conferences and educational programs for young people.",

"One can imagine the earliest meetings between Asians and the Portuguese explorers as epics of misunderstanding, each side distanced as far as can be imagined by language, faith and culture, trying somehow to find a common ground for dialogue, no matter how tenuous. Late 16th- to early 17th-century Japanese Nanban (\"Southern barbarian\") screen paintings show the arrival of Portuguese ships and the local inhabitants peering in amazement at those disembarking: traders with their billowing trousers; dark- skinned slaves; black-robed priests shrewdly eyeing prospective converts; and exotic animals such as elephants, giraffes and those civet cats with tufted ears that became popular pets among Japanese regional warlords and are often portrayed in Japanese paintings.\n\nFor over a century, superior firearms and ships enabled the Portuguese to become masters of the high seas capable of inflicting stinging attacks to protect their interests and enforce their demands. Their enormous ocean-going galleons were heavily-armed and built with multiple decks for cargo storage and sheltering passengers and crew.\n\nConditions on board were dangerous, unhygienic and often deadly, tempting only those who were hungry for riches or new converts to the Church to undertake hazardous distant voyages. Nevertheless, those who managed to survive built trading stations at ports of call around the Indian Ocean and the Far East, intermarried with locals and mastered the complex subtleties of Asian business.\n\nMany spent the rest of their lives in their host country and were gradually assimilated into local society.\n\nAs a small country facing the Atlantic, and with a national temperament markedly at odds with those of its Latin neighbors, Portugal has always been positioned somewhat distanced from the mainstream of European history, choosing instead to look at the ocean and the lure of its distant horizons. The country's pioneering achievements were extraordinary and paved the way for other European powers, with their own expansionist dreams, to gradually usurp them in international influence. While the Portuguese were happy to pursue more globalist ideals, settling in to their newfound territories, other European powers focused on tight, central control and the return of trade goods to the home country. By the early 17th century, Portugal's control of the high seas was replaced by that of the more technologically advanced British, French and Dutch.\n\nFrom the widespread Portuguese empire, countless objects were brought back to Portugal, and in recent years the Orient Foundation has accumulated more than 1,000 items bought on the open art market or loaned from private collections, such as those of the poet Camilo Pessanha and the writer and politician Manuel Teixeira Gomes. These include 17th-century screen paintings, Nanban lacquerware; porcelain bearing the coat of arms of the Companhia das Indias, which traded throughout the empire; objects relating to the culture of Timor (in what were then known as the Spice Islands); and textiles and furnishings. Underscoring the role of the Catholic Church in Asia, the collection also includes ritual objects, crucifixes and informative maps and documents dating from the earliest stages of colonization.\n\nWherever the Portuguese went in Asia, they experienced diverse performing arts, and the museum's Kwok On collection is noted for its large inventory of masks, costumes, orchestral instruments and associated theatrical equipment. While many such performing arts evolved to become popular entertainment, most originated as religious festivals or rituals where masks were worn to represent various deities in the local pantheon. Recent, specialized exhibitions at the museum, titled, \"Masks of Asia\" and \"Gods of Asia,\" have explored in depth the role of objects in complex rituals and performances.\n\nThe history of the Portuguese presence in Asia is a fascinating subject that is sure to reveal more with future research. Despite maintaining an extensive empire — much of which was only relinquished following the country's 1974 revolution — it is only over the past three decades that Portugal has caught up with the modernized of the rest of Europe. There is good reason to suspect that many historic items brought back by generations of voyagers and traders still remain in Portuguese monasteries and private houses waiting to be brought to light. Research in this direction would make an enlightening subject — perhaps for a future exhibition at the Museu do Oriente."

"The last time Ross Dwelley scored a touchdown, it was in an unsuccessful bid at a national championship. Dwelley played his college ball at the University of San Diego, an FCS school in Division 1-A, and after hauling in his first two career touchdowns in the NFL, he lamented the last time he caught one in a game: a playoff game against the North Dakota State Bison.\n\n“We played them two years in a row in the playoffs and they ended up winning the national championship both years,” Dwelley said. “So, it’s tough, tough draw for us.”\n\nSunday was a far more pleasant experience for Dwelley. He hauled in two touchdowns along with a pair of other receptions, one of which went for a first down that set up the game-winning touchdown pass from Jimmy Garoppolo to Jeff Wilson Jr.\n\nDwelley was never going to be the All-Pro-level tight end that George Kittle is, but he’s been a reliable option when Garoppolo needs him most. Two weeks ago, also against the Arizona Cardinals, Dwelley made a catch that sealed the game for the 49ers, just barely converting a first down to keep the clock moving. For the four games that fullback Kyle Juszcyzk was out, Dwelley filled in at fullback.\n\n“He does a little bit of everything, lines up split out at receiver sometimes, so you’ve got to tip your hat to him,” Shanahan said. “He’s had a lot on his plate the last however many weeks just with guys being down. He doesn’t even hesitate. He just attacks it, gets the formation and goes out there and performs. Whenever his number is called, he does a great job… Dwelley has been one of the better football players on this football team this year.”\n\nOn his first career touchdown, Dwelley went untouched to secure it in the corner. He’s got the game ball dated and sitting in his locker.\n\nFirst career touchdown by Ross Dwelley puts us on the board! #GoNiners pic.twitter.com/gK4FAkj47Q\n\nOn the would-be second touchdown, he knew the ball was coming his way based on film study. Dwelley set a fake block and said he knew Cardinals linebacker Haason Reddick would bite on it and leave him open.\n\n“We studied the film and that backer flies over if I fake the block, so right when I saw him trigger, I knew to release and Jimmy gave me the ball and I just tried to make someone miss and get in the end zone,” Dwelley said.\n\nBut Dwelley also saw the downside of replacing Kittle on that play. Kittle only talked to reporters after the game on the condition that all questions must be Dwelley-related. Kittle has had four touchdowns called back this season, and Dwelley was robbed of one of his own in the dying seconds of the first half.\n\n“He actually had the exact same play called back against Carolina,” Dwelley said. “So I was like, I know how George feels now. It sucks.”\n\nHere’s George Kittle’s version against the Panthers. Same play, both touchdowns, both nullified by holding calls (Richburg on Dwelley’s, Samuel on Kittle’s). pic.twitter.com/RRtUnob2ou\n\nDwelley was redeemed later with his second touchdown of the game and praised by Kittle, who, again, refused to discuss anything but Dwelley.\n\n“He’s ready to go, there’s not a lot of hey, get your toes wet,” Kittle said. “He’s just out there going full speed and that’s what you want out of a guy.”\n\nNiners come back to take the lead"

"My forearms are pumped and my heel hook is just off the mark. I slap my right hand up a few inches higher on a sloping sidepull. It’s decent, but sweat makes it a ticking time bomb. I judge the distance to the next crimp, followed by the big throw to the top. The only distance I can focus on, however, is that to my next pint. I pull the move, downclimb, and throw my shoes in my daypack before jumping back on my bike. It’s only a few miles to Bridger Brewing—the final stop on my Bozeman-breweries-and-boulders-by-bike tour.",

"The idea came to me, not surprisingly, over a pint. I was on a two-month road trip and staying with friends in town who suggested I check out the local boulders. I was already curious about the breweries, and after a few beers, the idea had fully materialized and I had a route mapped out.\n\nI started downtown, heading west on Koch St. toward the Bozeman Pond boulder—a great starting piece due to its variety of climbing options. I worked my way up various aspects of the boulder. A crimpy face, slopey overhang, and narrow arête provided a balanced warm-up, and a thick carpet of mulch a safe landing zone. This is a thoughtful addition—leaving the crashpad in the car is a luxury not often afforded to boulderers.\n\nKeeping an eye on the time, I headed north on Yellowstone Ave. to Gallatin County Regional Park. Although the \"Badass-in-Training\" boulder was designed for the cohort of next-gen crushers, there are enough holds for any climber to build a solid pump while traversing—enough of a pump, at least, to send me to my first pint at 406 Brewery on East Oak St. It was just after noon on a Friday, so the spacious taproom was nearly empty, allowing for some good conversation with the bar staff and a few thirsty locals.\n\nAs much as I craved a second libation, I knew I had work to do and distance to cover. I headed north on Rouse Ave. to work up a sweat on the Bozeman Beach boulder. Its width and overhanging design make for a range of powerful problems. Its northwest orientation lets the climber choose shade or heat, and whatever beating you put on your shoulders immediately washes away with a refreshing dip in Glen Lake. The sandy beach's bathing beauties made it difficult to leave, but alas, on with the show. I turned my gaze away from the sirens and focused my attention on the next stop. I weaved my way through the woods along the East Gallatin and cruised down Story Mill Spur, stopping between the Depot boulder and the Bozeman Brewing Company. With moderation in mind, I hit Bozeman Brewing to replenish my hop levels before pulling more moves.",

"My thirst adequately quenched, I moved on. The Depot boulder, designed to mimic sharp gritstone, reminded me of the finger-shredding sandstone back in West Virginia. Fortunately, the pint I had just downed made it easier to shrug off the discomfort of increasingly tender tips. With a smile on my face and fresh tape on my flappers, I biked southwest on the Gallagator trail to the final climbing challenge.\n\nUniquely featured and colored with red and black streaks, the Gallagator boulder is a beautiful ode to the powerful forces that shape the rocks we love to climb. I crimped as many edges and slapped up as many sidepulls as I could before my arms were done. Lying on the grass, staring up at the Big Sky, I was satisfied, but still thirsty. And so it was with tired legs and rubbery arms that I stumbled into Bridger Brewing, awkwardly pulling a chair out at the bar. Drenched in sweat and breathing heavily, I closed my eyes and savored my third and final ale, silently revelling in my personal glory.",

"Pachinko is a low-stakes Japanese version of pinball and has become a much more popular form of entertainment than slot machines. The vibrant colors of the machines and the immersive audio experience have led Japan to obsess over the game for more than a hundred years.\n\nTakito Akagi (read more), a gaming expert with almost a decade-long experience in marketing shares his take on why pachinko wins the internet in Japan every time.\n\nHow Was Pachinko Invented?\n\nPachinko was invented during the Meiji empire. It was brought to Japan from Chicago and gradually spread to other Asian countries including South Korea and Taiwan. The locals referred to it as “pachi-pachi” because that’s how the metal balls sounded.\n\nToday, the entire island country is obsessed with the game. Therefore, it has found its way to online gaming. Several online casinos in 2021 are offering pachinko for people who can’t go out to gaming parlors due to safety issues.\n\nそこで活躍するのが、日本が誇る ecasinos.jp。ゲームを1つずつ丁寧にレビューしてあり、オンラインカジノエクスペリエンスを安全かつ信頼の置けるものにしてくれます。Here, pachinko and other casino game enthusiasts can find the best online casino reviews before sharing their credit card details with operators and play their favorite casino games without worrying about their security.\n\nHow Does the Game Work?\n\nPachinko is quite similar to Western pinball. It is played on a vertical machine with multiple small metal balls, which the players can use to earn more balls. The object of the game is to try to get as many balls as possible into certain pockets in order to win prizes. And the game is fairly simple and therefore, quite addictive, as well.\n\nEach ball is worth some money, which is typically ¥4 per ball. At the end of your turn, the number of balls you are left with determines your winnings.\n\nIn other words, the game requires you to buy some balls to start it off, and each time you complete a target, you get rewarded with more balls – which you can cash in.\n\nPachinko machines are located in gaming parlors all over Japan and they operate in a grey area because gambling is illegal in Japan.\n\nWhy Japan Prefers Pachinko Over Other Casino Games\n\nGambling is illegal in Japan for cultural and social reasons. But pachinko has found a way to stay in trend even in the middle of a century-long ban on gambling activities in Japan. Due to Japan’s historical ties with the game, the government allowed pachinko parlors to somehow stay in business while prohibiting casino gaming up until 2018.\n\nTo respect the government’s decisions, a handful of pachinko parlors have actually eliminated the cash-based reward system and introduced an arcade parlor-like system. They allow players to exchange their winnings for gift items, food, and drinks.\n\nThis system allows players to focus on the entertainment aspect of pachinko, rather than the competitive winning aspect of the traditional game.\n\nIs the Pachinko Industry Big in Japan?\n\nPachinko is one of the main sources of entertainment in Japan and it contributes to as much as 4% of the country’s GDP. According to Business Insider, Japan’s pachinko industry is bigger than Las Vegas casinos, with the gambling machines making 30 times more cash than the American gambling mecca.\n\nPlayers in Japan spend $200 million every year on these machines, which is more revenue than the figure generated by all the other casino games combined. If anything, to say “pachinko industry is big in Japan” would be an understatement.\n\nYes! Pachinko is played on a machine and most modern pachinko machines are already offering a digital experience. So, playing it online won’t alter your experience in a negative way. It might actually enrich your casino experience because you won’t have to travel to the gaming parlor, wait for your turn, and then make impulse expenditures to win.\n\nPlaying online will ensure that you have seamless access to pachinko machines any time you log in as well as prevent you from overspending every time you buy-in. So, undoubtedly pachinko is the best online casino game you can ask for.",

"College-educated women are catching up with men in the workforce, but many other women, especially single mothers, are facing great financial challenges, a new report shows.\n\nThe Pew Research Center this week issued a report, titled “Breadwinner Moms,” that shows 40 percent of all households with children under the age of 18 are headed by mothers who are either the sole or primary income generator for the family. That’s a record spike from 1960 when women’s share was just 11 percent.\n\nA total of 5.1 million of these women are married moms who earn higher incomes than their husbands and the majority — about 8.6 million — are single mothers, the study shows.\n\nWhile the results from the Pew report are good news for married, college-educated women, who shared a total family income of nearly $80,000 in 2011 (generously above the national median of $57,100 for all families with children), the findings also showed that mothers raising children on their own earned a median income of about $23,000.\n\nTo put this in perspective, the 2011 poverty guideline for a single mom with two children was $18,530 in most states, which leaves 8.6 million single mothers in a difficult financial place that could worsen if they become unemployed and take on greater debt.\n\nToday, women make up nearly half the U.S. labor force; a drastic improvement from the 1960’s when women comprised a little over one-tenth of the work force. This increase in employment may be what is keeping women from falling into the kind of debt that can only be resolved with bankruptcy.\n\nBankruptcy will take a toll on your credit and the ability to use your money in the future. It plays havoc on your property, too, possibly preventing or delaying foreclosure on a home and repossession of a car.\n\nA report issued in 2011 by the Institute of Financial Literacy, titled “A Five Year Perspective of the American Debtor,” shows the gap between women and men who filed for bankruptcy is shrinking.\n\nThere is a lack of current research showing why those figures followed that pattern or if they are continuing to decrease for women and increase for men; however, that report’s authors suggest that this closing gap could be a reflection of the U.S. population at that time. Women accounted for 50.8 percent of the population and men represented 49.2 percent of all U.S. residents in 2010.\n\nThe narrowing gap might also be a result of more women entering the workforce and avoiding the kinds of pitfalls that land them in bankruptcy court.\n\nIncome Disparities in the Workforce\n\nWhile men still account for the majority of the workforce, single and married mothers are stepping out of their homes to make a 13.7-million person dent, about 47 percent, in the workplace.\n\nDespite closing the gap in the workforce, working women are making significantly less than their male counterparts. In 2011 the median annual earnings for women working full time, year-round was $37, 118. For men, the average earnings were $48,202. If you examine the gender gap in pay over a lifetime, women make $434,000 less than men, according to a fact sheet from the Democratic Policy and Communications Center.\n\nUnfortunately, unequal pay may begin right at the start of your career. Just as they enter the work force, women are earning 7 percent less in their first year than their male peers, according to research from the American Association of University Women (AAUW). The men and women in this study came from similar backgrounds and held similar jobs, but did not receive equal pay.\n\nThat difference suggests that gender discrimination remains a significant problem in the workforce. Unfortunately, the Senate did not pass suggested legislation in June of 2012, which was intended to prevent this type of discrimination.\n\nThe Paycheck Fairness Act would have legally required employers to be able to prove that salary differences between men and women doing the same work were not gender-related. If the act had passed, it might have brought us one step closer to avoiding debt and bankruptcy, but a 52-47 vote opposing the bill ended the discussion for now.\n\nMaking this inequity all the more distressing is the fact that this first year of employment is a crucial time, setting the standard for a future salary and potential raises. Additionally, many graduates must take the first fruits of their earnings to begin paying off student loans.\n\nYet, for every dollar men are earning, women earn 93 cents.\n\nThis AAUW study also accounts for the factor of choice, regarding how women pick majors, decide what field to work in and how many hours they will work. Previous studies that did not account for the choice factor found that women were earning 18 percent less than men.\n\nThe gender gap may be diminishing—revealing that women are taking financial steps in the right direction—but still have their work cut out for them if they hope to be paid their real worth.",

"It seemed that this former Spanish colony is not solong gone to free the road, meanwhile, for nearly a hundred years it has not changed its main state symbol. And then, in 1924, Colombia coat of arms has undergone minor changes compared with the previous official symbol, approved in 1834.\n\nFirst, Colombia is characterized by a coat of armscolorful and rich palette of colors and shades. It is possible to see: beautiful fruit of the pomegranate tree; two golden horns; red Phrygian cap, a symbol of the freedom of European and American peoples; azure oceans and two sailboat; condor.\n\nSecondly, each of the symbols shown incoat of arms, filled with deep meaning, refers to the various pages of the history of Colombia. For example, garnet, which is located in the upper part, recalls the happy time of liberation from colonial Spaniards, when the territory became known as New Granada.\n\nTwo original cornucopia hoped,that the wealth of the country will grow, with one horn filled with gold coins as a symbol of prosperity, and the second - edible plants, symbolizing the fertility of the land.\n\nOn the red Phrygian cap known sincethe times of medieval Europe, as the main symbol of fighting for freedom and independence.

"1) He is the personification of dedication and devotion\n\nAmong the most popular divinities in the Hindu pantheon, Hanuman and his story have been adapted by numerous cultures throughout the ages. The oldest rendering, however, is found in the Sanskrit Ramayana of Sage Valmiki, who is believed to have lived in India thousands of years ago.\n\nOne of Hinduism’s great epics, The Ramayana tells the tale of the exiled Prince Rama (an avatar of Vishnu) who journeys across the ocean to rescue his wife Sita from the power-hungry king Ravana.\n\nIn the quest to rescue his wife, Rama, along with his brother Lakshman, ally with an intelligent monkey warrior race known as Vanaras, amongst whom is Hanuman. As Hanuman exhibits extraordinary abilities in Rama’s service throughout the adventure, including speed, strength, courage, and wisdom, the friendship between the two develops and deepens, proving ultimately that Hanuman’s greatest ability is, in fact, his incredibly staunch loyalty and devotion.\n\nIn depiction of this devotion, he is often portrayed kneeling with folded hands in front of Rama, Sita, and Lakshman, or pulling apart his chest to reveal an image of Rama and Sita where his heart should be.\n\nA perfect combination of bal (strength), buddhi (intelligence), and vidya (wisdom), he is the exemplary bhakti yogi, or one who fearlessly uses his gifts to connect to the Divine through sincere loving service.\n\nThough multiple versions, with varying details, exist of Hanuman’s birth, a common telling centers around a Vanara named Anjana who worshiped Shiva for a son. Pleased by Anjana’s prayer and penance, Shiva sent his divine power and blessing through Vayu (the wind god) into Anjana’s womb.\n\nThough Hanuman has all of these abilities, they are all byproducts of the ultimate goal of yoga, which is to connect to the Divine. Being a perfect yogi, he therefore employs them not for the satisfaction of his own senses, but in the service of the divine Rama.\n\nOnce, as a young child, thinking the sun to be a fruit, Hanuman sprang upwards with outstretched hands in hopes of grabbing it. Blessed with the potency of his divine father Vayu, he soared through the air, getting closer and closer to his goal.\n\nThreatened by his power, Indra, the king of heaven, struck Hanuman down with a thunderbolt, sending him hurling back to the ground where he laid unconscious. Enraged by the sight of his seemingly lifeless son, Vayu withdrew the movement of air necessary for life’s sustenance throughout the universe.\n\nDesperate to prevent cosmic disaster, the gods approached Brahma, the engineer of the universe, for help. Understanding Hanuman to be an exalted devotee of Vishnu who would eventually aid Rama in defeating Ravana, Brahma revived the child, after which all of the most prominent gods blessed him with special abilities, thus pacifying Vayu.\n\nNamed for the broken jaw he incurred from the impact of his fall (hanu means “jaw” and man means “prominent”), Hanuman’s name is a reminder of the precarious nature of unbridled power, and how it can often result in dangerous consequences when unguided.\n\n4) He was cursed to forget his powers\n\nMischievous in his youth, Hanuman would often bother the temple priests and sages by disrupting their sacrificial ceremonies in various ways. Angered by Hanuman’s antics, they eventually cursed him to forget his powers until he was reminded of them by another.\n\nIt wasn’t until years later, when Hanuman was helping Rama search for Sita, that the knowledge of his powers were restored to him. Having discovered that Sita was being held captive across the ocean in Sri Lanka, the Vanaras wondered who among them could leap over the sea to reach Ravana’s kingdom.\n\nAware of his divine origin and childhood, Jambavan, an intelligent bear king who was helping the Vanaras, began describing Hanuman’s true power to all who were present. As Jambavan finished his speech — effectively ending the sages’ curse — Hanuman, remembering his prowess, stood up, and with a great roar, made his declaration to perform the task. Expanding his body to 50 times its normal height, he squatted down, and then sprang forth with immense energy.\n\nToday, Hanuman’s energy is commonly invoked by practitioners of Kushti (a traditional form of Hindu wrestling practiced in the Indian subcontinent), while his leap across the ocean is paid homage to in yoga as a pose called Hanumanasana (the splits).\n\n5) He exists wherever Rama is glorified\n\nShortly after Sita was successfully rescued, and it was time for Rama and the Vanaras to part ways, Hanuman, who couldn’t bear the idea of their separation, fervently prayed that his affection for Rama would never dissipate. As long as Rama’s pastimes were being told on earth, Hanuman wanted to remain alive so he could continuously hear them. By constantly relishing Rama’s glories, Hanuman felt he could endure the pain of not personally being with him.\n\nOf course, because the Divine is beyond any sort of material designations, Hanuman is never truly apart from Rama. On the spiritual level, constant remembrance of Rama is no different than his personal association. The pain of separation from Rama, in fact, can often cause one to become even more absorbed in thoughts of his divine qualities — a phenomenon known as samadhi — thus deepening one’s spiritual connection to him.\n\nDevotees of Rama thus pray to Hanuman so that they can also attain such a connection. Every year on Hanuman’s birthday, many recite the Hanuman Chalisa, one of the most popular devotional hymns to Hanuman, in hopes of invoking the Vanara’s strength, not just in material endeavors, but most importantly, in spiritual ones.\n\nTo truly be a recipient of Hanuman’s blessing, however, it’s encouraged to regularly discuss the pastimes of Rama, for the Vanara is said to be present wherever the king of Ayodhya’s glories are being narrated."

"Have you ever dreamt of being the head cultist and spiritual leader of a small post-apocalyptic village, working to awaken your great patron-god, Chernobog? Was your dream colored in Lovecraftian greens?\n\nNo? You’ve no clue what I’m talking about? Well, I can’t say I blame you.\n\nThis is the Shrouded Isle, a game with this exact premise. It’s a bit more complex than picking a villager and ending their life; each one has minor or major virtues and vices, which affect you in positive and negative ways, respectfully. Each run of the game is broken up in 12 seasons–it takes place during 3 years– during which you have to sacrifice 12 of your fellow villagers.\n\nThe villagers, there’s thirty of them, and none come from the most distinct genetic material; each is a member of one of five families, whose primarchs control some different suppression apparatus — the Iosefka family is in charge of the fervor in the village by building monuments and spreading the holy word of Chernobog’s imminent return, the Kegnni make sure that your villagers remain proper and ignorant, and so on and so forth.\n\nIt’s a game about information, and acting upon it. During each season, you’ve got three months to vote on the activities your cultists make. While you’ve got five councilors — one from each esteemed family on your shrouded isle — you can pick to work on one to three of your councilors’ activities each month; the more the activities worked on, the lesser are the returns for you. It’s a perfectly logical system that allows you to discover more about your villagers’ vices and virtues at only a small cost.\n\nVices and virtues are also found out by inquiries, of which you will get some, as long as you’re in good standing with the different houses; it’s always difficult to decide whom to use your first couple of inquiries, on account of knowing virtually nothing other than some cursory flavor text, give n to you by the house leaders whenever you scroll over the members of the family.",
null,
"Villagers and the five attributes of the entire village–Ignorance, Fervor, Discipline, Penitence and Obedience–are not the only ones you have to be on the lookout for; each house also has an approval rating that raises when you continually vote for their advisers, and falls whenever you ignore them. Approval also plummets whenever you decide to sacrifice someone; particularly if you have no proof, or even an idea, of an advisor’s transgressions.\n\n‘This might all seem like a lot to follow, and I did have some difficulty making sense of it all during my first game; which is why one of the families quickly rose in revolt, and did me in, thus ending playthrough #01. That said, once I began all over again, it made sense and, in less than two hours, I stood above the precipice, awakening good old ‘bog and watching him as he stretched those holy wings of his.\n\nThe Shrouded Isle is all about revealing information one month at a time, and using that information to the fullest. There’s no overarching storyline, when one really could’ve worked quite well.The art-style is good but minimalist, and there are about…eight screens in the game overall, with an additional three-four cutscenes.\n\nIt’s entertaining for what it is…but I’m not certain that it’s worth the price tag of 10 euro. That has to be its biggest weakness; the Isle simply doesn’t have enough content. After my two and a half hours, I have absolutely no desire to go back and replay it in its current form; if the developers introduce a content-focused patch, perhaps I will.\n\nThe Shrouded Isle is an interesting experiment that’s built around a cool concept, strong aesthetics and ambiance, but hobbled by lack of variety and lacking a cohesive story.\n\nShould you play it? Only you could say that, and I hope to have provided all the tools necessary to help with your decision. Happy Gaming!\n\nPS: I know there are different endings–but I didn’t feel curious enough to spend another few hours unlocking them."

"At MoM Towers, we’re all ears when it comes to distillery developments. Those giant ears of ours have been twitching with anticipation ever since Benromach parent Gordon & MacPhail said last year it was planning to open a second distillery. And now have an update.\n\nSet to be built on the banks of the River Spey in Craggan, near Grantown-on-Spey, the proposed distillery has a strikingly circular design. It’s the work of architect firm NORR, and is meant to make the most of the stunning mountain and river views while hiding most of the operational side of spirits production. It’s even got a grass sedan roof (remind you of anything?) to help it blend into the environment.",
null,
"If the plans go ahead, the Craggan distillery (not its official name) will become the first of the new-wave distilleries to go live in the Cairngorm National Park.\n\nHow much whisky will it make? At first, 375,000 litres of spirit will flow, but capacity can increase to 2 million litres in the longer term – which would make it much larger in terms of output than Benromach.\n\nLocal residents were recently treated to an exhibition detailing the planned site, with more than 150 people popping in to check out the proposals. According to Gordon & MacPhail, the response has been “overwhelmingly positive”.\n\n“We’re really pleased at the number of people who came along to see our plans, we couldn’t have asked for a warmer welcome,” said Ewen Mackintosh, Gordon & MacPhail’s managing director.\n\n“People are saying how excited they are to see a distillery being proposed for the area as they believe it has the potential to support Grantown-on-Spey as a destination and encourage visitors to stay longer in the town.”",
null,
"Round, round baby… and with a fancy grass roof\n\nThe Urquhart family, which owns Gordon & MacPhail, also went along to the presentation. “We are a longstanding family-owned business with strong roots and commitment to the north of Scotland,” said Stuart Urquhart, Gordon & MacPhail operations director. “Building and operating our second distillery is part of our generational plan to grow a long-term sustainable business, whilst continuing to be part of the fabric of the local community.”\n\nLet’s hope the plans get the go-ahead!"

"In a video viewing session with Fred Erickson, from UCLA, we watched some video of young children in an early years playground – recorded by Kate Cowan for her PhD research. One thing we all started to pick up on was the ways that they were creating spaces by their movement around the playground, and we started to identify specific social spaces that they were making. Fred talked about his early mentor, Edward Hall, and his term “Situational frames” –this describes how physical spaces turn into social places. We started to really pin point where the children were moving – their destination and passages and transitions between spaces. In this way we started to get a handle on their\n\nThis led to a great discussion about how we might build hypothesis about what the children were doing and its meaning by:\n\nIt was amazing how far we could get by focusing on this one mode – by pushing at the spatial use and then building ideas.",

"In the humid New York summer of 1979, James Baldwin sat down in his Harlem flat to work on what would be his last and unfinished book “Remember This House”; it was his personal endeavor to tell the story of race in America through the memories of his three assassinated friends —Malcolm X, Medgar Evers, and Martin Luther King Jr.\n\nRaoul Peck—an underrated Haitian filmmaker whose previous work includes a feature on the Congolese anti-colonial leader Lumumba—would take Baldwin’s 30 some pages of unfinished manuscript as the narrative skeleton for his explosive work. With the guidance of the always unapologetic Baldwin, Peck crafts a powerful cinematic essay, weaving together archival photographs, film excerpts, and past news coverage to forcefully tackle the mythology of white innocence, the devastating reality of racial segregation in the 1960s, and the systematic brutality of white violence against African American communities.\n\nIn one of the most memorable moments of the film, Peck presents the audience with a powerful dosage of cinematic literature. It’s 1968, and Baldwin is articulating to the audiences of “The Dick Cavett Show” that “the future of the negro in this country is the future of America.” Peck swiftly cuts to the present with snapshots of police violence on black protesters from Rodney King to Ferguson, Missouri while the sounds of “Damn Right, I’ve Got the Blues” plays loudly in the back. This fusion of past and present is a direct reply to Baldwin, as if to say “this is the future of this country.” The chronological artistry is not only a mourning of the historical struggle, but a reinvigoration of Baldwin’s unique sense of urgency and purpose.\n\n“I Am Not Your Negro” is not only a cinematic vessel for Baldwin’s own painfully honest analysis of American identity and history, but also a deep investigation of the great thinkers who informed his views. When Baldwin speaks, the audience hears two voices. The elegant prose of his formal writing, and the deep, reflective authority of Samuel L. Jackson’s narration, a stark contrast to his silver-tongued wit and uncompromising speech as a television lecturer. Donning his slim-suit and tie, a cigarette in hand and a cloud of smoke above his hairline, Baldwin epitomizes the suave of the 20th century public intellectual that has become extinct in today’s belligerently anti-intellectual mediascape.\n\nThe film is nominated for best documentary at this year’s Oscars alongside two selections that shares its concerns for America’s systematic social issues: “O.J.: Made in America” and “13TH”. Though all three films endeavor to bring forth a complex narrative on the metamorphosis of the racial blockades that have decimated this country in the last century and the psychology of those who have worked to perpetuate them, “I Am Not Your Negro” is by far the most comprehensively critical and ideologically articulate. It dissects for the audience the moral apathy of the American middle class, the spiritual numbness of a populace obsessed with consumerism, and the social ignorance of dominant white society to the plight of its neighbors. If there’s one blemish on this masterpiece, it is that Peck tries to express too many thoughts at once, running the risk of confounding the lucidity of Baldwin’s writing.\n\nTo consider “I am Not Your Negro” simply as a documentary about the life of James Baldwin is to understate the absolute truth bomb that Director Raoul Peck has dropped on the viewers. The film goes above and beyond the scope of a historical documentary by tapping into the discrepancy between the notion of progress in a “post-racial” America and a myopic white-dominated society unwilling to confront its own horrors in order to question the very foundation of American identity. Each minute of this film is a bomb. Peck succeeds in paying homage to Baldwin with a film that is as enthralling, provocative, and unyielding as the subject himself.\n\nI AM NOT YOUR NEGRO"

"One may have noticed my mind has been on apartheid in recent blogs. One might wonder why I’m spending so much time reflecting on a regime that’s quite clearly gone. Primarily I suppose it’s because it’s an object lesson. Change is possible when the People are so fired up that the politicians have no choice, literally none, but to do the right thing.\n\nHonestly I never expected there would be a peaceful transition in South Africa. After five decades of oppression and resistance, I fully expected apartheid could only end in civil war, and I’m probably not the only person to think so. This is one instance where I’m glad to have been proven absolutely conclusively wrong.\n\nBut there is a better reason for me to focus on that particular dead issue. Apartheid by another name was a very real institution in post-Civil War America. We know it here as Jim Crow but it was the same thing, the exact same thing. Segregation was imposed by law across the Southern United States and sanctioned by foul Supreme Court decisions to as Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). Lynchings were a shameful legacy of those hundred years before Martin Luther King Jr. and the entire Civil rights movement stood up and said “That’s enough. We’ve waited for our rights long enough. We’ve waited for you to respect our dignity long enough.”",

"We are facing a moral crisis whereby the Trump administration is bound and determined to wind the clock back to the 19th Century, some never-never land of white rule that doesn’t deserve to exist. Plainly with the present conservative majority on the Supreme Court we can’t count on either their good will or their good sense for the next couple of generations.\n\nThis is a time we have to stand, not just on the national stage but in our everyday life. Its tie to put aside all labels–male, female, LGBT, black and white–and treat everyone exactly the way you’d expect to be treated, with respect, dignity and plain ol’ common courtesy. Maybe it’s naïve to dream of this but what the hell, till something better comes along I’m happy to be naïve."

"Pop Bitties Are the Teeny-Tiny Healthy Alternative to Popcorn, and We're Obsessed\n\nBefore I tried a delicious handful of popped water lily seeds a couple of years ago, I hadn't even considered the possibility that seeds other than corn could be popped into fluffy, tasty snacks.\n\nI've always loved the taste of popcorn, and I felt like a new window of snacking opportunities had been opened up for me. So when I heard about Pop Bitties, a unique new snack food made from popped sorghum, I just had to try them. Their creators were kind enough to send me four bags of Pop Bitties in four flavors, and I was eager to see how they would stack up against classic popcorn.\n\nPop Bitties might look like tiny pieces of popcorn, but they're actually made from air-popped whole grain sorghum. The eco-friendly grain has been around for thousands of years and is great because it's sustainable and drought-resistant, and requires fewer resources than corn and other grains. It's also gluten-free and corn-free. Sorghum is also a good source of vitamins and aids healthy digestion. When popped, it remains just as nutritious, and Pop Bitties contain no artificial ingredients or trans fat, and are also free of peanuts and tree nuts. They're available in certain stores and on Amazon for $14.96 for a four-pack of 4.5 oz. bags.\n\nI usually like to start with the most standard flavor when I do taste tests, so I began with the Sea Salt Pop Bitties. When I opened the bag and poured some out into my hand, I was shocked to see just how tiny they really are. I have pretty small hands, and look how small they still appear!",
null,
"Of course, the flavor was a lot more important than the appearance, and I was really pleasantly surprised when I tossed this first handful into my mouth. They had the exact same crispy, yet puffy texture as freshly popped popcorn, but on a much smaller scale. The amount of salt felt just right, and it elevated the slightly nutty taste of the Pop Bitties. Flavor-wise, it was better than any bagged popcorn I'd ever had. Plus, while many pre-popped bags of popcorn tend to have a slightly stale texture even when they're brand new, these maintained their freshness even after a few days of being sealed up.\n\nThey were all too easy to snack on, and my family wound up enjoying them with me as well, even if we did wind up making a bit of a mess. The pieces are so small that it's easy to drop them as they're scooped out of a bowl, and at one point someone joked it might make more sense to eat them with a spoon. We also noted that Pop Bitties are preferable to regular popcorn because the kernel part in the center is super small, so it doesn't get caught in the teeth like a regular popcorn kernel.",
null,
"When I opened the bag of Half Dressed Sea Salt Pop Bitties and started eating them, I honestly couldn't tell the difference flavor-wise. I had to scan the bag to find out that this flavor is made with half the oil of the regular Sea Salt flavor. At the end of the day, we all thought they tasted identical. If you're into healthy options, there's no reason not to pick these over the Sea Salt.",
null,
"After trying two similar savory flavors, I was pretty curious about Pop Bitties' singular sweet flavor, Brown Sugar & Cinnamon. The moment I opened the bag, I was hit with the aroma of sweet cinnamon and spice. The speckled brown coloring also made it clear there was more to this flavor. If you're into fall flavors like pumpkin spice, you're going to like this. There was still a slight saltiness to it, but the cinnamon flavor came to the forefront, backed by the light sweetness of brown sugar and a hint of butteriness. Overall, it reminded me of a cinnamon rice cake—but much tastier—and I loved that it offered up a completely different flavor.",
null,
"I was most excited to try the White Cheddar flavor, so of course, I saved it for last. I was really glad I did. Interestingly enough, there was a light sweetness to the them, which, when paired with the delicate flavor of cheddar made for a perfect cheesy taste. It definitely didn't taste artificial or overpowering like many other cheesy popcorns, making this my favorite of the four Pop Bitties flavors. This bag didn't even last us a full day because we simply couldn't stop munching on them.",
null,
"While I don't think Pop Bitties are going to replace traditional popcorn at the movie theater any time soon—mostly because of their size and the mess factor—I'm an instant fan. They taste awesome, have some great health benefits and don't get stuck in my teeth. I'd pick Pop Bitties over any bagged popcorn any day, and at less than $4 per bag on Amazon, they're not prohibitively expensive, either. If you're a popcorn fan and you get the chance to try these, you definitely should.\n\nClick HERE to find out if Pop Bitties are sold at a location near you.\n\nLove movie snacks?

"So, the title track to Mark Ronson's upcoming Late Night Feelings is an admitted jam and pretty much got us on board for the album. But what sealed the deal was when we discovered that there would be a heaping helping of powerhouse vocalist YEBBA in the mix. Now, about a month out from the set's release, we get our first listen to what their collaborations are going to sound like with new single \"Don't Leave Me Lonely.\"\n\nThe track further explores the album's theme of heartbreak and heartache set to a pulsing beat. YEBBA lets loose a lament of epic proportions on the track, talking to a lover as she pleads for them not to leave her sitting there alone. \"Don't you leave me lonely tonight / 'Cause I won't forgive you,\" she sings on the chorus. \"Don't you leave me lonely tonight / 'Cause I can't forget you.\" Backing up her cry is Mark's A-1 production, which veers into tropical house territory while mixing in strings in with the song's key groove. The beating heart of the track, though, is YEBBA's vocal, which goes from whisper to belt and back again as she beautifully delivers the song's narrative and emotional weight.\n\nHaving previously described this song as the one that started the whole idea of the album, we can see why Mark Ronson chose YEBBA to essentially be the set's main featured vocalist. Get into the haunting \"Don't Leave Me Lonely\" below and look for Late Night Feelings to arrive on June 21st."

"Better Life Game – Is it Real?",
null,
"You’ve probably been searching the web looking to find out whether the Better Life Virtual World is a real game. Well, the short answer is NO. But don’t hurry out just yet! I have a very close alternative for you. (For those in a rush, here it is.) For the rest of you, I would like to say a few things about this show, and to tell a story on how I investigated, to find out if the Better Life game download exists.\n\nAfter watching it, I searched and searched online for Better Life virtual world, but no luck.. I even went to BetterLife.com, but all I found was a Vitamins and Supplements store, lol. I even checked betterlife.com out on Wayback Machine (which shows the historical view of all internet sites). I put in betterlife.com, and searched for 2009 September, to see how it looked like when “The Suite Life on Deck” episode, mentioning Better Life online game, aired. Nada. Vitamins and supplements. Eish.\n\nSo basically I found out that the story was like this. At the time, in 2009, a virtual life game, called Second Life, was a real hit (It is actually still very popular today). The writers of the sitcom were looking for something ‘cool and hip’ to make an episode about, when they decided to feature a great invention – virtual life game. Because of legal reasons, and not to advertise the Second Life game for free, they chose to use a fake game name, which sounded close enough to Second Life – Better Life Virtual World. This is it! Ah, and also, they did not use the 3D animations from Second Life – they created their own. In fact, the real Second Life has waaay better animations and beautifully done 3D characters, than the Suite Life on Deck’s creation.\n\nIn any case, it was really funny to watch Woody spend all of his time playing a virtual reality game. His avatar was named “Brock”. Here is Woody and his 3D avatar. Good avatar choice 😀",
null,
null,
"He had a virtual girlfriend named Peaches (who turned out to be Addison). She was waaaay cuter in real life, than in the virtual game, lol. Here is Peaches and her avatar self.",
null,
null,
"Cody told Woody that he can’t live his whole life through a virtual reality game. But of course Woody was so deep in the game, that Cody had to get a virtual character himself, to speak to Woody via his favorite virtual game. Here is Cody and his avatar 😀 😀 😀",
null,
null,
"And the cutest moment is how Brock (Woody’s avatar) was holding the Kitty Cat (Cody’s avatar):",
null,
"I was laughing so hard :D:D:D ROFL\n\nThen, after watching the episode, I was thinking.. Hmmmm… I want to try it also! I want to get a virtual avatar, a virtual house and a virtual girlfriend! And so I did. Hehe, I am now a fan of games like Second Life, and that’s why I created this website. To tell you honestly, the closest real life alternative to Better Life Game is Second Life. After that, IMVU. For more, just look through the list of 3D chat worlds that we have here.\n\n5 Easy Ways to Create Your Own Virtual World"

"Dileep in the movie 'Ivan Maryadaraman'\n\nFor people who travel the same route everyday, a sense of boredom sets in. There is certain level of predictability that comes in. It is same with actors too. That is why Dileep is all ears to novel stories and new directors.\n\nDileep is currently acting in Sreebala K. Menon's upcoming film Love 24x7. Sreebala's tryst with Malayalam cinema began long back as an assistant director, and this is her first directorial venture.\n\nShooting for Sidharth Bharathan's Chandrettan Evideya is now over. Dileep is the hero of Ratheesh Ambat's first film as well. Dileep's summer release is Ivan Maryadaraman, a film directed by newbie Suresh Divakar. The movie that was initially made in Telegu by the super hit director Rajamouli is being remade into Malayalam. Dileep is excited as Ivan Maryadaraman hits the movie halls. The movie is an entertainer with all the ingredients to treat Malayali audience.",
null,
"Are you becoming a hero for new directors?\n\nAs an actor, I'am game for all kinds of directors. You do not have to cross hurdles to meet me. I am my own manager and peon. I pick up calls that come for me. Before being an actor, I'am someone who ventured into the industry as an assistant director. My heart is still the same. If there is any way to help a person, I will make sure that I do it.",
null,
"'As an actor, I'am game for all kinds of directors' says Dileep\n\nAre you tensed when your movie is ready for release?\n\nDefinitely. I'am like a husband who eagerly waits in front of wife's delivery room. That anxiety remains the same till the first day gets over. Cinema is an unpredictable business. One cannot predict the success formula for films. All movies are made to become successful. Some fail. The intensity of failure is high when it goes in the same track. That is why I try to become part of different kinds of movies.\n\nAfter watching other language films, I wanted to make two of them into Malayalam. Vicky Donor in Hindi, and Maryadaraman in Telegu. I felt that Malayali audience must watch these 2 films. Vicky Donor could not be made in Malayalam. The inspiration for Maryadaraman is a 1921 Hollywood flick named Our Hospitality. It is a very old movie. I always had a film in my mind, and this movie had its same thread. That is how I became attached to Maryadaraman. You can see a talking cycle in this movie!",

"'One cannot predict the success formula for films', says Dileep\n\nDo your personal problems affect your work?\n\nIn the movie Joker, Lohithadas sir has written that one will have many problems in their personal lives. But once you put on make-up, you must be a good performer. Dileep's problems must not be reflected in his movies.\n\nAnd Sai Baba, why is it getting delayed?\n\nInitially, Sai Baba was planned only in Telegu. Later, it was decided to be made into 7 different languages. It is a script that requires detailed study and research. Shooting for the movie might start by June-July."

"How Douglas Stuart Published His Ace Debut at 43",
null,
"Douglas Stuart’s debut novel, Shuggie Bain (Grove Press, Feb. 11), is a profoundly affecting tragedy about the love between an alcoholic mother and her young son, followed from infancy to his early teens. Shuggie’s difficulties are compounded by his innately girlish manner, his father’s abandonment, and what is essentially the collapse of the social order in the city around him.\n\nLike Shuggie, Stuart, now 43, was born in the Glasgow of the 1970s, once the Second City of the Empire but by then beset by floundering industries and festering sectarianism, its populace shoved into poorly built “housing schemes” and crushed by poverty, disease, and alcoholism.\n\nAlso like Shuggie, the author doesn’t “have many memories of my mother sober.”\n\nIf the plot is so close to the truth, why not write a memoir? “I didn’t want to only inhabit the main character,” Stuart explains. “I wanted to show, within the house and across the city, the stories of many different people. I wanted you to feel like you’re in the room with the characters rather than me telling you what happened in the room.”\n\nAt more than 400 pages, Shuggie Bain proceeds slowly, which Stuart says was necessary not only to create the immersive effect, but to track the disintegration of a woman and a family. “Alcoholism doesn’t have the bang, the explosion or implosion, of drug addiction,” he points out. “It’s a slow, corrosive disease.”\n\nWhen we leave him at the end of the book, Shuggie is completely on his own in a rented bedsit—as was his creator at that point in life. But not long after that, Stuart’s luck changed.\n\n“I knew that I was queer,” he says, “and the violence from being different in that way was really intense. At 16, I felt I wouldn’t survive in the underclass. Though I wasn’t sure what school was supposed to do for me, and I had huge gaps in my education, I knew I had to finish high school.”\n\nHis instinct was right. Stuart’s teachers saw a creative kid with no parents who was trying desperately to catch up, without support of any kind, and reached out to help him succeed. But when he told them he wanted to go on to study literature and writing, they took account of his precarious situation and nixed the idea. He should learn a trade—perhaps textiles. “I didn’t even know what textiles were,” he says.\n\nBut as it turned out, the advice was inspired. Scotland’s robust textile industry is dominated by women; Stuart was the only boy in his year at school. “After coming from such a masculine environment, to be surrounded only by women was such a nourishing thing,” he explains. “Such a safe space for a very confused young man.” He also felt nurtured by his government’s policy of free education. “Working five nights a week and all weekend just to pay my rent, I would never have made it otherwise. If I’d been an American kid, I wouldn’t be here.”\n\nBy the time he finished his degree, Stuart had begun to yearn for something bigger than designing fabric in a factory. He applied to the Royal College of Art in London and, three years later, earned a master’s degree in menswear design. “On the day we graduated,” he recalls, “we had a catwalk show. The head of menswear for Calvin Klein was in the audience, and he came up offered me a job in New York.”\n\nThat stroke of luck came two decades ago: From Calvin Klein, he moved to Ralph Lauren and then to The Gap/Banana Republic, where he remained for 15 years. Though he loved his work, some part of him was creatively unfulfilled. Reflecting on his experiences, thinking about the man he was becoming, he felt haunted by characters from his past. In 2008, he sat down to write.\n\nFor three years, he had no desire to show anyone what he was doing. Then one day, he gave the pages to his boyfriend, Michael Cary, a modern art curator he’d met during a semester abroad in the States in 1996. They were long-distance for four years before he moved to New York.\n\nMichael got a double shock, Stuart confesses. Not just because he loved the writing, but because “I’d never really told him about my past. This was how he found out, from the book.”\n\nHe continued to work on the manuscript, picking it up, putting it down, writing swathes of it in the Hong Kong airport where he was often marooned while traveling.\n\nWhether in New York or Hong Kong, his head was always in Glasgow, writing what he considers a love letter to the city and to his mother. “It’s the Glaswegian approach,” he explains. “You tell it warts and all, or you don’t tell it.” Among the challenges was re-creating the poetry of the local dialect in the dialogue—Shuggie is “a wean who is no right”—a key element of the book’s spell.\n\n“I needed 10 years with this novel,” he says. “For one thing, as I became a man, as I got close to 40, I began to understand certain things about my mother—her sense of the flatness of life, that things haven’t turned out the way you wanted them to, the lifting your head and thinking, ‘Is this all there is?’ ”\n\nFor Stuart it wasn’t, not at all. Because at a Christmas mixer in his apartment building in 2017, he was introduced to a woman named Tina Pohlman, now a literary agent, at the time an editor. “’Hi, I’ve written a novel,’ I said, and of course, she flinched. She said, ‘Sure, I’ll look at it for you, but you won’t hear from me for six months.’”\n\nShe advised him to pick five favorite novels and reach out to their agents. Anna Stein, who represented Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life, quickly emailed that she was interested but warned him that she was a slow reader. “Don’t go with anyone else. Wait for me!” He did, and on the same day he signed with Grove Atlantic, he and his boyfriend of 22 years were married in a ceremony at New York City Hall.\n\nBecause Stuart wrote a second novel during breaks between spates of Shuggie, he is already polishing a coming-of-age story set in the Scottish Highlands. We can hope to see that one soon, and he’s at work on a third, which has recently revealed itself to be set in the Hebrides. This was supposed to be his New York fashion novel, which is now kicked to No. 4.\n\nHis mother would be very proud of him.\n\nMarion Winik is the author of The Big Book of the Dead and a regular reviewer for Kirkus, the Washington Post, and other publications.\nMORE FEATURES\nPOPULAR KIRKUS STARS"

"The phone rang in our motel room around 9 a.m., startling us all. In 1987, motel room phones only rang if it was a wake-up call or a noise complaint.\n\nUnfortunately, it was neither.\n\nMy mom answered the phone, sitting sideways on the bed next to the nightstand. She talked quietly for a long time, too long. Meanwhile, my brother, sister, and I jumped on the beds, watched television, and begged her to get off the phone so we could head off to the amusement parks.\n\nShe eventually hung up the phone. Finally, I yelled, assuming that she would apologize for talking so long and we would be on our way in a few minutes. Instead, she burst into tears, ran to my dad, and sobbed into his chest for several minutes.\n\nI had never before seen my mom cry.\n\nWords like plane crash and fire and Detroit stumbled out of her lips in ways that didn’t make sense, but eventually it came together: My grandpa had been in a plane crash in Detroit. A plane crash.\n\nOver the next few days, the information expanded a little, always in snippets overheard while the adults talked in hushed voices. The pilot had previous citations, I heard someone say. He shouldn’t have been flying, someone else said. One of the passengers had taken an earlier flight home to surprise his son at his Little League game, my mom had heard.\n\nNeedless to say, when you are 9 years old and your grandpa is in a plane crash, you have lots of questions. Did the passengers know where the exits were? What happened to those who couldn’t get out? Is it really safe to fly? And why don’t all planes fall from the sky?\n\nAnd when you are 37 years old, you have even more questions.\n\nMost of my knowledge of what happened that fateful afternoon comes through the lens of my 9-year-old self, with some additional information gleaned from the scant newspaper articles that have long since yellowed with age. The plane had tilted to one side on landing, the wing clipping the ground, causing the plane to flip over and slide before it smashed into a concessions truck right in front of the terminal. Nine of the 16 people on Northwest Airlink Flight 2268 from Cleveland to Detroit died on March 4, 1987. My grandpa, a lifelong smoker who had been sitting in the rear of the plane in the smoking section, did not.\n\nI asked a few questions at the time, but when they went unanswered. I quickly learned not to ask anymore. Some things were too hard for my mom to discuss; this was her dad we were talking about, after all. Other things she just didn’t want us to know, things that weren’t meant for children’s ears. So the information was spotty and filtered, peppered with holes. It excluded all the words a mother in the middle of life—still daughter, now mother—leaves out because she is trying to protect her children and because she still needs a little protecting herself.\n\nAs a woman in the middle right now, this is something that I not only understand, but respect. There are some things that children just shouldn’t know about, not yet. And there are some things that are so traumatic, so devastating, so confusing that we, as adults, still can’t make sense of them. How does a mother answer her daughter’s questions about death and God and why bad things happen to good people when she doesn’t know the answers to those questions herself?\n\nOver the years, my questions grew and changed. Did the passengers talk to each other, maybe about work or their children or the weather? Did they know where the exits were? Had they remembered the pre-flight safety lesson? Or had they been flipping through their People magazines, sipping their cocktails and inhaling the smoke that wouldn’t kill them just minutes before the smoke that would? What did it feel like to be in a plane as it flipped and burst into flames? What did it feel like to be on fire? Did life really flash before one’s eyes? Did they pray to be saved in those final minutes? And if so, whose God did they pray to and why didn’t God answer those prayers?\n\nEventually the questions subsided, however. The incident receded into the background of our family’s history and my own self-absorbed teenage years became consumed with concerns about sleepovers, makeup, and boys. The crash faded into the distance, taking with it my questions.\n\nBut recently, the questions have returned. Maybe it is the natural progression of life that causes us to wonder more about death the older we get. Maybe it is because my husband travels for work from time to time, and I worry. Always I worry. Or it could be because my oldest son is almost nine, the age I was when the crash happened, and I am now in that poignant middle place as both daughter and mother.\n\nWhatever the reason, some of the old questions have returned, along with lots of new ones. What did my grandpa think in those terrifying moments of impact? How did my grandma react when she got the telephone call? And how did this catastrophe impact my own parents’ marriage? Were the survivors ever able to forget, or were they forever haunted by the crash?\n\nSome of these questions can be (or could have been) answered. My grandpa made it out of one of the exits, limbs on fire. He lived another two and half decades. He lived to see four of his grandchildren get married, and to meet six of his great-grandchildren. He lived to celebrate his sixtieth wedding anniversary. He exited the plane and he lived. And while I can no longer ask him some of my questions, I can ask my mom and my grandma with certainty that they would answer the questions they protected me from when I was a child.\n\nBut what I am finding, as I become further entrenched in this middle place—watching my parents get older, comforting friends whose parents have died, answering my kids’ questions about death and God and heaven, and feeling days and years slip by in a flurry of homework assignments, carpools, deadlines, and work meetings—is that most of my questions about the plane crash are the ones that don’t have any answers.\n\nI wonder about the father who, I had heard, took an earlier flight home to see his son’s baseball game, the man who was planning to play racquetball with a friend that night, and the husband with a wife and two toddlers waiting for him at home. Who were they? What were they like? Did they say “I love you” one last time before they boarded the plane? Or were their last words rushed and tainted with the chores of daily life? Things like sales meetings and doctor appointments and did-you-send-my-mom-a-birthday-card reminders? And why weren’t their lives spared? Why did my grandpa get to live and they didn’t?\n\nAnd what about the ones who were left behind? The little boy, about my own age, who was getting ready to play in a Little League game while his father’s plane crashed to the ground. The friend waiting with a racquet in hand at the athletic club for a partner who wouldn’t show up. The wife with two screaming toddlers clinging to her legs as she prepared dinner for a husband who would never walk through the door. How did they survive? How did they wake up the next day and the day after that and the day after that, knowing that life as they had known it was gone, permanently altered? How did they go on?\n\nMy mom and I recently pored over old newspaper clippings, searching for answers and trying to understand more about what had happened and who had been affected. But given that the crash happened before the age of the Internet and the information was rather limited, we ended our investigation asking more questions than we answered. Questions that might not have any answers.\n\nBut what I am learning as I muddle my way through The Middle—feeling scared and safe, uncertain and confident, confused and wise all at the same time—is that it is OK for some questions to be left unanswered. It is OK to say “I don’t know” and hold on to a little mystery. It is OK to roll the dice and take a few risks now and then, just like it is OK to plan for the future and play it safe sometimes. It is OK to feel like we don’t have all the answers, or any answers for that matter.\n\nThe only thing that really matters, the only thing that ever matters, is that we love big and love strong, as if our exit could come at any time. Because, of course, it could. That question has been answered. That much is certain.",

"A nationwide ban on evictions introduced during the coronavirus pandemic will remain in place for now, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.\n\nLandlords had asked the high court to end the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's eviction moratorium, but the court voted 5-4 to keep it in place until the end of July, the Associated Press reported.\n\nThe eviction ban was introduced last year to protect millions of people unable to pay rent so they didn't lose their homes or have to move into shelters or crowded conditions with friends or relatives, since that would risk the spread of COVID-19. Last week, the Biden administration extended the ban until the end of July, but said it didn't expect another extension.\n\nThe U.S. Treasury Department is providing $47 billion in emergency rental assistance that will be distributed by states and local governments, the AP reported.\n\nNeither side explained its reasoning in the short emergency order. But Kavanaugh wrote separately to say that while he agreed the CDC had exceeded its authority, this was not the time to lift the ban on evictions, the Washington Post reported.\n\n\"Because the CDC plans to end the moratorium in only a few weeks, on July 31, and because those few weeks will allow for additional and more orderly distribution of the congressionally appropriated rental assistance funds,\" the stay should remain in place, Kavanaugh said.\n\nHe added that any further extension of the moratorium would require \"clear and specific congressional authorization\" via new legislation.\n\nThe government's lawyer, Acting Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, told the court the CDC had the authority and its judgment should be trusted during the pandemic, especially as children go unvaccinated and new variants of the virus emerge, the Post reported.\n\nShe also said the pain felt by landlords is only temporary, and that Congress has appropriated nearly $50 billion for rental assistance.\n\nLocal governments may use the funds \"to pay up to 12 months of back rent and an additional three months of future rent for eligible tenants,\" Prelogar said. \"The funds are payable directly to landlords.\"\n\nVisit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for more on the pandemic."

The national Manufacturing Center of YKK in Macon, Georgia produces around 65,000 miles of those zippers annually.\n\nCan you draw a boot with a zipper?\n\nDid you know: If you've ever been told to zip it chances are they weren't talking about your sweatshirt. If you are from Akron, Ohio you probably are familiar with B.F. Goodrich would used zippers in their boot in 1923 and the sound of the zipper closing, the zippppp, gave birth to the name Zipper.\n\nCan you draw a shirt or pants with lots of zippers?\n\nDid you know: Zippers really took off in 1937, when they caught the attention of a number of French fashion designers. In 1954, Levi’s introduced a special zippered version of its overalls called the 501Z, replacing the button-fly. The company eventually brought in zippers across its line of jeans, but not until the 1970s."

"OPEN warfare broke out in the racing world on Thursday evening.\n\nEmotions were running high on all sides as the Bryony Frost and Robbie Dunne bullying saga finally – and mercifully – reached its conclusion.",
null,
"After the dust of the opening skirmishes had settled, the toll of the conflict became clear.\n\nAn 18-month ban for Dunne, the BHA and Professional Jockeys Association at loggerheads and the reputations of some high-profile racing figures in the gutter.\n\nThe sport has had to cope with plenty of negative headlines over the years, but you just have to wonder about the long-term effects of this case.\n\nBritish jump jockeys are in full revolt – they feel Dunne has been screwed over and have pointed the finger of blame at the authorities and the media.\n\nPaddy Power: Place a £10 Sportsbook bet on any Horse Racing market between the 2nd and 24th of December., at min. odds 1/5 (1.2) — get £40 in free bets, valid 30 days on bet settlement. Qualifying bet needs to be settled by 23:59 24th December (Friday). Only deposits via Cards will qualify (Apple Pay deposits excluded). T&Cs apply. 18+ BeGambleAware.Org\n\nThere is no doubt that the BHA have handled things poorly – this should never have lingered for as long as it did and their communication throughout has been terrible.\n\nIn fairness, they have said that they will learn from the way they dealt with this case, one which was unprecedented.\n\nBut the PJA, who came out swinging with a couple of fiery and ultra-defensive statements, need to take a long, hard look at themselves.\n\nIn their initial press release after the verdict, they failed to acknowledge that Frost, who we must remember is one of their own, had been bullied.\n\nThey rejected the findings of an experienced, independent panel – chaired by a former Old Bailey judge – who sat through the thick-end of 20 hours of evidence.\n\nThey maintain that Frost “felt bullied”, but disagree that she was bullied. Then came an even more bizarre statement, “on behalf of female jockeys”.",
null,
"We don’t know who, we don’t know how many – is it all female jockeys? If so, surely it must have had input from Frost?\n\nI think it's safe to presume the answer is no, as the “female jockeys”, who chose to remain nameless, proceeded to chuck Frost under the bus.\n\nIt's ironic the PJA sympathised with the isolation felt by Bryony, but proceeded to isolate her yet further.\n\nThe female jockeys trod the same path as their male colleagues in slinging mud at the BHA and the press – but they are all failing to see the bigger picture.\n\nAnd it's really quite simple – there is no place in the weighing room for the sort of disgraceful, misogynistic behaviour that Frost suffered, and their ‘us against the world’ attitude is not helping anyone.\n\nThe PJA’s statements, and their lack of support for Frost throughout, have been met with disbelief by most.\n\nThough there stance is hardly surprising given they lobbied to get the hearing chucked out, while there has been a relentless barrage of pro-Dunne sentiment from current and former jockeys.\n\nWe heard earlier in the week that the three valets who gave evidence at the hearing refused to work for Frost at Fontwell on Tuesday.\n\nThis childish act was astonishing enough, and then came a subtle-as-a-sledgehammer tweet from AP McCoy in which he talked of fond memories with his valet pals.\n\nThe 20-time champion jockey’s post was just one of a number of bad takes on social media.\n\nOne owner mused: “If ever it would be possible for Bryony to throw an olive branch and request the ban be overturned.\n\n“In return I’d hope there would be a heartfelt apology from Robbie. I’m probably in dreamland but it’s in both their interests.”",

"Dreamland is one word for it. Perhaps they could hold hands and skip off into the sunset after they've made up?\n\nAnother bright spark said: “Can’t the BHA drop the case and let Bryony and Robbie just accept they don’t get on and move on?\"\n\nGiven that many of those who are born into racing have had the privilege of public schooling, it never ceases to amaze me that a lot of them are apparently a few cards short of a deck.\n\nIt mustn't be forgotten in the middle of this swirling s*** storm – with daggers being thrown from every direction – that Frost, who is the victim in all this, must feel more isolated than ever.\n\nShe has to go into the weighing room every day with the knowledge that her colleagues have it in for her and are dismissive of her ordeal.\n\nThe BHA are aiming to introduce a sweeping new code of conduct early next year which will outline standards that riders must adhere to.\n\nThis is not to say that every weighing room in the country is a toxic environment – far from it. I said last week and I will say it again, the majority of riders are good people.\n\nBut there is clearly a sinister, underlying atmosphere that deters some jockeys from speaking out if they feel they have been unfairly treated.\n\nThe message to the weighing room is loud and clear – whether or not they choose to listen is another matter."

"We got good response from Wofford alumni (who knew there were so many) taking up for the Wofford ladies and sending pictures. Realize that KSR loves Wofford and we will do what we can to pull them to a March victory.\n\nA couple of quick notes:\n\n— To the extent there was a surprise, it was the fact that Calipari lost Coach of the Year to Kevin Stallings. I like Stallings and think he does great work on “The Office”, but the notion that Calipari (or for that matter Bruce Pearl) hasnt had a better coaching year is silly. It just shows, as Gary Parrish of CBS pointed out, that the fellow coaches in the SEC are not fans of Calipari and Pearl and use the award as a popularity contest.\n\n— The newest ESPN Bracketology would look good for UK. It has the Cats playing in Syracuse, with West Virginia (who has now passed Villanova as the likely #2 seed for UK after beating them last week) as the 2 seed in their region, Michigan State as the #3 and Baylor as the #4 seed. I would take this bracket in a heartbeat if thats how it played out\n\n— For the record, if UK stays ahead of Syracuse, it will likely play the play-in game winner. Kansas will be in Oklahoma City and the rule is that the play-in winner must play a team that plays on Friday…which is when the Milwaukee games will be held. That means play-in game for UK, not for #1 overall seed Kansas."

"ROBERT PESTON has detailed how Boris Johnson has \"capitulated\" to the European Union in crucial Brexit negotiations.\n\nITV’s political editor took to Twitter to share a question posed by Lord Gadhia in the House of Lords today where he asked whether the UK has abandoned any hope for a “substantive financial services” chapter through a trade deal with the EU.\n\nMr Peston claimed both the Prime Minister and Chancellor Rishi Sunak have abandoned a financial services deal with the EU.\n\nHe tweeted: “This from Lord Gadhia is spot on.\n\n“Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson have capitulated and seemingly abandoned hope of a financial services deal with EU, and have announced City will be simple rule take from Brussels.”\n\nHe then added it was “very odd” the UK has surrendered on financial services despite having a massive deficit with the EU.\n\nPeston explains how Boris has ‘capitulated’ to EU (Image: Getty)\n\nMr Peston continued: “Very odd that UK expends so much political capital trying to get deal with EU in goods, where we have massive deficit with EU, and surrender on financial services, where we have surplus.\n\n“Maybe government thinks the City can thrive in all climates and manufacturing can’t.\n\nThis week, Mr Sunak said financial services will be “essential to our economic recovery” from the coronavirus pandemic.\n\nREAD MORE: YOU need US!

"Robbie Williams says his fame has come from his low self-esteem, which has been a ''real drive''.",
null,
"The 45-year-old singer admitted that he suffers from a ''lack of self-esteem and self-worth'' but it is this lack of confidence that he credits his success to, calling it a ''curse and a blessing''.\n\nSpeaking on the WW Wellness that Works podcast, Robbie - who is a WW ambassador - explained: ''The curse is a blessing because this lack of self-esteem, lack of self worth. It's been real drive. You know, it's like I'm here because I don't like myself very much. You know, that's the truth about the inside working of my mind, it's like, I don't like myself a lot and I feel uncomfortable in my own skin. And because of that, it's propelled me to do this on stage and be the 'let me entertain you' guy.''\n\nRobbie also claims his wife Ayda Field, 40, has ''more than a touch of dysmorphia'' and is very disciplined about what she eats but says they are both trying to bring up their children to have a healthy relationship with food.\n\n''You can't just love yourself. I don't think. You can't just wake up and go, you know what? I love myself today. I'm not sure that happens. I think you have to have input and take action to if you want to have self-esteem. I say this is a life's work. You don't have to love yourself. You just have to not hate yourself.''\n\nDuring the candid chat, Robbie also spoke about his lifelong battle with his weight.\n\nHe said: ''Well, there is this relentless weight battle and weight issue that I've had forever. But the most recent thing that triggered this whole thing was I relapsed on smoking. So when I smoke, I'm half smoke, half man. I'm a man of extremes. And the wife said, 'You've got to give up smoking. January the 1st.' And in May, that sounded like a good deal. And also, I didn't want to do the death, the early death. So I was like, 'yeah, OK'. Then it got to November. And I was like, 'remember January the 1st?' And I just thought, hang on, maybe I can just view this differently.\n\n''This whole process, not only could I give up smoking, but I could be fit and healthy and have a clean head and a clean vision of how I want my future. And I found that moment to be very, very powerful.''\n\nRobbie Williams is a WW ambassador and is currently on the new myWW programme.

"The Technology for Marketing conference is among the world’s largest. Speakers will include CDP Institute Founder David Raab. You can click here to register.\n\nAlso speaking with be Brenda Fiala, Bacardi’s Global VP of Strategy, Insights and Analytics. Techerati interviewed her ahead of her TFM & ECE Keynote panel appearance.\n\nWhen Bacardi was founded 157 years ago, rum wasn’t considered a refined drink. To transform the sugary-spirit into something sellable in upmarket Cuban taverns, Bacardi founder Facundo Bacardí Masso had to “tame” the drink by filtering it through charcoal and ageing it in white oaked barrels.\n\nOver one and a half centuries later, Bacardi’s products are merrily swigged by millions across the world. Alongside its namesake rum, Bacardí, the company’s core brands now include a mouth-watering selection of the world’s most well-known tipples, including Grey Goose, Patron, and Bombay Sapphire — brands which have all flourished thanks to data and its impact on decision-making.\n\nToday, we are undeniably in the dual age of big and small data. In fact, it’s hard for multinationals like Bacardi to know what to do with all data at their disposal. To transform its growing supply of data into actionable insight, Bacardi had to return to its origins. It had to tame data and refine it to enable better decision making across the company.\n\nData is fundamentally ore that needs to be refined before it can be made into a product, which in Bacardi’s case includes informed omnichannel marketing, business and brand strategies. At TFM 2019, Brenda Fiala, global VP of strategy, insights and analytics at Bacardi, will detail how her 33-strong insights and analytics team turns data into a competitive advantage.\n\nAs Fiala explained, turning a company into a data-driven engine not only requires leveraging technical tools but enacting structural and cultural changes so that data becomes the beating heart of almost every core process.\n\nWhen Fiala arrived at Bacardi Ltd, one of the first changes she implemented was increasing the volume of meaningful data points so they came in weekly, rather than quarterly. The goal was to gain 100 percent visibility across advertising and promotional activity spend so brands and markets could see the effectiveness of their marketing. Her team’s guiding principles are simple but effective:\n\n“It’s not just about looking at financial data. But ensuring one, we keep the consumer at the heart; two, we keep our brand health strong. And if we can do those two things, then the finances should follow,” Fiala said.\n\n“Now that we have our data house in growing order, we’re able to move to predictive analytics. For the past two years, we’ve been making recommendations and validating our advertising spend.”\n\nFiala has extended her team’s influence across the organisation and united commercial, company and consumer data.\n\n“Usually, there are silos in companies that look after those different types of data. And we’re breaking those silos to connect the data together, which allow us to run the business in a more agile manner,” Fiala said.\n\nOften when data is connected with other data that was previously siloed, counterintuitive results glare back at you. Fiala says part of her company-wide data education involves making clear the heuristics that can be used to figure out if results are actually telling you something you need to know, or if a gremlin in the assumptions line is throwing up false flags.\n\n“Number one, ‘Is the data wrong?’ So you take them through the data model. Number two, ‘Is the analytics wrong? Is the math wrong?’ So you discuss what the math can and cannot do. Number three, “What other factors are not in the model of the data that could be influenced?’ And then number four is ‘Is something wrong with our strategy? Or is this something that just needs to be optimised?” Fiala said.\n\n“The data never tells you what to do. The analysis helps inform our conversations as business leaders, to help us make business decisions — and ideally faster.”\n\nBy using data to establish the properties of the numerous channels on which Bacardi Ltd can promote their brands, Fiala’s team have helped the company move from a “peanut butter” (or evenly spread) strategy to one that customises and optimises spending on every channel for maximum impact. By identifying channel-specific thresholds and their correlations to brand strength and potential sales, Bacardi brands can target each channel with confidence.\n\n“Whether it’s the work that the team did on Sound of Rum last year with Major Lazer, to our work with Swizz Beatz and Anitta, we now have insight through our data to maximise the integrated channels by which they’re working.”\n\nAnother variable Bacardi Ltd has identified as making a significant difference to the bottom line is the degree to which people are talking about their products, which the team measures in conjunction with its PR companies, social listening techniques and other consumer research.\n\nFrom these insights, Bacardi is able to identify ways of speaking to consumers directly, the knock-on effect of which being more consumers talk about their brands. Observing how consumers were increasingly making reference to Grey Goose-based cocktails, Bacardi created a cocktail recipe section on GreyGoose.com that also informed visitors where the cocktails could be purchased in several of its major markets.\n\nNo company would readily give away their secrets to data success, and Fiala is no exception. But she did reveal one quality that she believes helps to make data doyens out of those who possess it: creativity — something she first observed at Caltech during her chemistry degree.\n\n“I could see the scientists who really interrogated the data from different angles and who connected data sets. The most important ingredient of all was creativity, even in analytics. If you’re going to make a difference and get people to notice you, get people to adopt your behaviour and buy your product in the moments that matter, then you need a great dash of creativity.”\n\nFiala says Bacardi’s global brand platform maximises business objectives by using creativity to understand consumers and their emotions better each year, with data as the platform. The key to success is then optimising PR and media teams so they can address consumers directly.\n\nFiala finishes by addressing the one law of big data – that big data is getting bigger. It’s not so much the volume of data that’s a challenge for Bacardi, she says, but the speed in which they can analyse it and align it in real-time.\n\nOne way Bacardi has sped-up this process, an idea born from the company’s cross-company “next-generation programme,” is unlocking understanding through data visualisation. People working at the company are now trained so that they have an intuitive understanding of what kind of information is understandable when it’s displayed. Fiala herself suggested they take inspiration from Edwin Tufty, the forefather of data visualisation.\n\n“When I pointed them to him, they looked at me with blank eyes. But Edwin Tufty has been doing this for years with his wonderful books on the quantitative display of information. So I think there’s something that holds a lot of the keys to making this usable for people to make decisions.”",

"Listen to this track by Gothenburg Sweden singer-songwriter and sublime soundtrack contributor José Gonzáles. It’s “Stay Alive” a song as featured in the 2013 film based on James Thurber’s story The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty. The song appears on the soundtrack album as well, along with two other Gonzáles contributions.\n\nAt points, the film is set in Greenland, Iceland, and the Lower Himalayas as its main character, who is prone to daydreaming, lives out a fantasy in real life as he chases a photojournalist for a missing negative of an image meant to be the cover for the last issue of Life magazine. See the film, it’s good. But, for our purposes here, Gonzáles’ song sets a scene of desolate beauty, seeming to evoke the big questions of life; identity, meaning, and the sense of purpose that comes out of both of those.\n\nEven without a cinematic narrative to frame it, the song itself evokes those very things on its own.\n\nPerhaps the understated gravity to be found in Gonzáles’ music can be traced to his Swedish upbringing, matched to his Argentine roots. He is the child of fleeing immigrants, his parents having escaped Argentina’s Dirty War when Gonzáles was an infant. In this, perhaps he saw less of a divide when it came to cultures, and therefore to musical genres, too. Or maybe he was simply defiant of those cultural divides. As a young musician, he explored various musical forms including early Bob Marley & The Wailers fandom and Black Flag-inspired hardcore bands in which he served as bassist.\n\nGonzáles eventually found his sound as a singer-songwriter, settling into a classically inspired folk sound, with his acoustic guitar played using his fingernails and no plectrum, Nick Drake style. His music is spare, windswept, and evocatively life-affirming. There is a certain sense of world-weariness to be found in this song in particular, although with a generous helping of wintry beauty this is perhaps expected from the region of the world in which it’s made. Along with all of that is a keen sense of perspective on that aforementioned world-weariness, and with something meaningful to say in the light of it.\n\nThis song is about struggle against all kinds of forces that keep us where we are, sometimes coming from within us. That’s perhaps why it was thought to be so well suited to the subject matter of the movie; a story about a man who must cut loose from the limitations he’s placed on himself. Ultimately the song is empowering and optimistic, without being cloying. That’s why it work so well outside of that cinematic context as well as in it, meant to reflect and be respectful of the struggles in our own lives as much as it is for the hero of the film. This song is about transformation. and about being willing to be transformed.\n\nIn this, there is more to what it means to stay alive than simply living. It also means being aware of what’s coming, and to be prepared to become when the time comes to do so. Because, as the cliché dictates, the only thing to count on in life is change.\n\nJosé Gonzales is an active musician today. You can learn more about him and his newest album Vestiges & Claws at jose-gonzalez.com."

"I’m in a group of about 15 riders, hurtling along a flat road, chasing the leading pack who are also hurtling along at a hell of a rate towards the first climb (and offroad section) of the race. This is quite unusual. First of all, we are all riding mountain bikes, even though up until now this has very much felt like a road race. We’ve been riding for 12 miles with another mile to go and we’ve not yet ridden on any dirt. My Garmin says that my average speed is 23mph. Our group is desperately trying to keep the leading pack as close as possible, but they’re definitely pulling away. We’re all taking our turn on the front and luckily we all seem to be comfortable with riding in close formation and general road riding ‘etiquette’. For that authentic roadie effect, nobody is talking or communicating either, save for the occasional helpful hand gestures to indicate parked cars, potholes and emerging farts (perhaps).\n\nThe Isle of Man End to End is a very unusual event. Well, for the first 13 miles or so anyway.\n\nThe effect that this elongated ‘warm up’ on the road has on my overall position in the 1062 people that started is a long-lasting one. The lead group of perhaps 30-odd (fairly fast) riders are mostly too far ahead to be caught in the remaining 27 miles of offroad – while any attempt to catch the lead group whilst on the road results in being swallowed up and dumped to the back of the chasing pack so we are all content to keep motoring along like this and wait until the hills sort the men from the boys – whilst I wasn’t going to catch too many people I thought that if I could at least avoid being overtaken I’d finish in a ‘respectable’ time in a similar position to the one I was in at this stage….\n\nThe first climb was a bit of a brute. Starting on a narrow tarmac road and eventually following a broken rocky track to the top of the hill, the gradient seems to get ever steeper until many are off and pushing to the first of many false summits. At last I’m able to catch and pass a few other riders who have maybe overdone it at the start…\n\nOnce at the real summit, the trail winds down the hillside on a very rocky track that was brilliant fun but was so rocky I can’t say I had chance to look at the scenery much. Despite the rigid fork on the Ragley 29er I was keeping up with the bloke in front who was riding a Yeti full suspension thing anyway. Perhaps I was going to little bit too fast though as a rock flew up off my front wheel and belted my shin. I squealed like a girly. It was a big rock though.\n\nApart from chucking rocks at my legs the bike was great – I’m running my front 2.4” tyre at quite a low pressure so despite the rocky ride I was comfortable plus I was having no big problems with maintaining control or traction. It was also proving very handy to be able to just stand up and climb out of the saddle without the fork bobbing up and down.\n\nMore climbing followed, as did more downhills though forests, open moorland and muddy rutted fields. One climb in particular sticks in my mind for being an utter swine – steep, narrow, rutted and rocky. A real leg-burner and a delicate balancing act between smooth pedalling and maintaining traction (loads of standing up until the back wheel starts to slip then sitting back down again quick, in other words).",
null,
"The final descent towards Port Erin in the south of the island (and where we were staying) through a series of fields was followed by a shortish road section with a big CLIMB to the finish line. How nice.\n\nI finished in 3:18 in 27th place. Pleased to have beaten my 3.5 hours target but a bit frustrated that I couldn’t move even further up the final placings. Next year I’ll hang onto that lead group somehow 😉"

"(Zen Gardner) I’ve always been fascinated by the clear commonalities of religions and philosophies, and their intermingling with mysticism and the so-called occult – which is nothing more than sequestered teachings of the same.\n\nThe post Aspects, Fractals and the Golden Thread appeared on Stillness in the Storm.\n\nIt has been found recently (in 2005, actually), that the golden ratio plays a significant role in atomic physics in that it governs what is known as the Bohr radius (the radius of atoms and ions that enables quantitative discussion of bond lengths between atoms and partial ionic character (D.

"China’s president did, however, refer to the economy 70 times during that same speech, but his whole emphasis was on the quality rather than quantity of growth. Evidence to support this conclusion was an omission from his address of any mention at all of GDP growth targets.\n\nThis was Phase 1. The once-in-every-five years National Party Congress sets headline policy direction only. The work of implementation is now in the hands of the annual Economic Work Conference which is taking place in Beijing from Monday until Wednesday of this week.\n\nA statement about the general conclusions will be released via state media outlets after the [Economic Work] Conference, but internal debates and specific instructions are usually kept under wraps.\n\nChemicals companies that produce in China and supply to China must obviously therefore get their hands on details of the new environmental rules and regulations that will be drawn up by the Conference. Their other task is to make sure they have enough good people on the ground in China who are capable of constantly monitoring how effectively these new policies are being implemented.\n\nWhat we can be certain of, though\n\nAs I have just said, the detail of new policy initiatives will determine the extent to which different chemicals value chains continue to be disrupted. What is also unclear is the degree to which local government officials will be able to block new environmental policies.\n\nBut on this latter point, local government officials know that Xi and his fellow reformers have greatly increased their control of the economy from the centre. They also know that the way to further their careers involves going the extra mile on implementing Beijing’s environmental objectives.\n\nWe can thus expect more overzealousness such that as of local officials in Hebei. As part of their contribution to the winter clean-air campaign, officials banned the use of coal for rural homes and industrial heating, even before the infrastructure to pipe in gas was in place.\n\nIt is not only officials in Hebei that have stepped up their environmental game. As the South China Morning Post again writes, the new political direction has produced a response across the whole of northern China as officials scramble to hit clean-air targets for end-2017.\n\nThese targets were set way back in 2013, but have only been taken seriously very recently. The newspaper says that provincial governments in northern China have imposed a complete ban on the use of coal for energy, have halted all infrastructure projects and have ordered a 30% cut in aluminium production and a 50% reduction in steel production.\n\nThis has led to a 70% surge in natural gas prices in China, resulting in a decision to curb gas supply to chemicals plants in order to prioritise supply for heating in homes. Methanol, acetic acid and fertilisers supply has thus been curbed, leading to a surge in pricing. In the case of acetic acid, as the above chart indicates, CFR Northeast Asian pricing in November of this year was at its highest level since September 2014.\n\nThere will thus be more opportunities for chemicals exporters to China in 2018 as a result of further reductions to local supply. Take benzene as a historic and perhaps future example, where imports have surged during 2017 on a reduction in operating rates at steel plants, which co-produce benzene.\n\nBut the challenge is identifying these new export opportunities in time, which again goes back to my point of having enough good people on the ground in China.\n\nWe can also be certain that chemicals plants located in urban areas, which have been classified as producing chemicals toxic to human health, will continue to be shut down.\n\nSome of these shutdowns will be permanent where chemicals plants are also sub world-scale and in oversupplied sectors. More efficient plants will only be temporarily closed whilst they are relocated to chemicals industry parks – away from major population centres.\n\nAnother opportunity for 2018 will thus l be the extra work generated for engineering, construction and procurement (EPC) contractors as the relocation of chemicals plants accelerate. Success here will again, though, hinge on good quality market intelligence.\n\nThe broader implications for the global economy\n\nAs I discussed earlier this month, China is in general trying to move away from being the low cost workshop of the world for both environmental and economic development reasons.\n\nAs chemicals companies draw up their budgets for 2018, they therefore need to consider a significant China-driven inflation shock to the global economy. This shock could be compounded by higher oil prices."

"There are Trekkies and Potterheads and Twifans, but nothing in the pop culture universe can compare to the passion, dedication, and eccentricity of a Janeite. I know this because I am one.\n\nFor the benefit of the un-indoctrinated, a Janeite is a fan of English author Jane Austen (1775-1817) who wrote six novels before her untimely death at age 41. Many have read Pride and Prejudice for a school assignment and then moved on. Others, like myself and former journalist Deborah Yaffe, were so enchanted by her humor, characters, and Regency world that we read not only her major works but everything she wrote: juvenilia, minor works, novella, fragments, and letters. That was not enough. We were compelled to become her fans.\n\nIn Among the Janeites, a new nonfiction book to be released next week by Mariner Books, Yaffe boldly ventures into the land of Janeites to discover what makes them tick and why they\n\n“…feel an intensely personal affection for the writer and her books…whom they often call “Jane,” as if she were a neighbor whose kitchen door they could knock on to borrow a cup of sugar.”\n\nYaffe’s journalist background gives her the perfect training for such a task, striving to form an impression of what it is like to live with the obsession and “tease out some common threads that weave this diverse array of individuals into a community.” And tease she does, interviewing and meeting a wide range of her fans, traveling to England for a Jane Austen pilgrimage to her homes and haunts, and attending Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA) Annual General Meetings in Portland, Oregon and Fort Worth, Texas.\n\nAfter the lively introduction which explores her motivations for writing the book, it is broken down into three parts, much like the dramatic structure of Austen’s three-volume novels. Within the ten chapters, one or two different personalities in the Janeite world are featured as an example of the diversity of Austen’s fans and how they express their passion. First, we meet Regency fashion aficionados Baronda Bradley and seamstress Maureen O’Connor and learn all about corsets, pelisses and the lives of these two fashionistas. Multimillionaire Cisco founder and Chawton House Library creator Sandy Lerner has her share of the conversation in a chapter called “Sandy’s Pemberley,” writers Pamela Aidan and Linda Berdol are included in the chapter on Jane Austen fanfiction, and Austen scholar Devoney Looser rattles the ivory tower of academia by admitting to Austen fandom and expressing it with the roller derby persona “Stone Cold Austen” in “The Knowledge Business.”\n\nWhile many of the chapters contain a combination of personalities, “The Jane Austen Code” contains only one: the unique and outspoken Arnie Perlstein, whose way-out theories on the “shadow stories” within Austen’s novels (an underpinning of subtext to sex, hidden pregnancies, and other sordid tidbits) litter Austen’s narrative. We understand. Who else could Yaffe possibly pair with such a character? In “Austen Therapy” we meet Christine Shih and Phyllis Ferguson Bottomer who are proponents of using Austen to help borderline personality disorder and autistic patients, then we learn about the creation of JASNA by founders Joan Austen Leigh and Jack Grey in “Talking Jane Austen,” and relive the creation of the Republic of Pemberley, the online haven for Austen addicts, with co-founders Myretta Robens and Amy Bellinger in “Austen.net.” The book’s denouement culminates at the 2011 JASNA Annual General Meeting in Fort Worth where the newly corseted author attends scholarly talks, shops in the Regency Emporium and exhibits her new frock while dancing to Mr. Beveridge’s Maggot.\n\n“Janeites are rational people, perfectly capable of drawing firm lines between fiction and reality, and yet that distinction seems to melt into insignificance when they begin thinking about Jane Austen’s characters.” p. xxi\n\nAnd think we do…and have our share of the conversation…and express our decided opinions in so many diverse ways. Like Austen and her finely drawn characters, Yaffe has chosen her cast of players in Among the Janeites so well. There are your Mr. Darcy-like heroes and Elizabeth Bennet-like feisty heroines, but there are also many poignant stories of individuals that make this book so much more than an opportunity to be Mrs. Elton name dropping and rubbing the right elbows. Yaffe is a talented writer whose lively eye and measured humor permeates like brandy in this Austen trifle cutting through the thick cloying cream. We are served up all of the quirks and eccentricities of what comes with obsessive fandom yet she never chides or looks down her nose at any faction. Her wit and humor really shine.\n\nIn the second chapter entitled “Walking Where Jane Walked” she ventures on an Austen tour to England. Here we experience first-hand her observational skills and dry wit as she describes her reactions to the sites and people she meets in London, Lyme Regis, Bath, Chawton and Winchester, where Austen died and was buried in the great cathedral. As their group assembles for a solemn graveside ceremony conducted by an Anglican priest, JASNA president Iris Lutz hands each of the group a thornless (irony here) pink rose to be placed in a vase on a nearby wall. She was not moved, at all, feeling too crowded for reflection.\n\nHA! Good question. You will have more than a passing notion after you finish this exploration of how Janeites are born and express their passion.\n\nIf you don’t blink while reading page 195, you might catch a few words about me. No, I am not as obsessive as those Janeites given a full chapter. I have just spent thousands and thousands of hours chatting in person and online message boards, reading everything about Austen or inspired by her in print, creating, writing and managing a blog for over five years dedicated to her, editing a short story collection inspired by her, and, collecting anything that suits my fancy from the great big Jane Austen brand out there. Nope. Not quirky, eccentric, or interesting enough (I guess) to warrant much more. ;-) I will, however, concede that the competition is very stiff. I am not a bazillionaire who can buy the crumbling Chawton House and resurrect it into a library, nor am I an Austen scholar moonlighting as a roller derby queen named “Stone Cold Austen”, nor do I have 30 Regency frocks and an unmentionable number of bonnets, gloves, parasols, and corsets tucked away in my tiny Woodston Cottage closet. I am just your average run-of-the-mill Janeite who proudly wears her JASNA Life Member pin and can be called one of the tribe.\n\nAmong the Janeites is a delightfully entertaining and perceptive romp with Jane Austen’s disciples. I laughed so hard I startled my cat, dropped a stitch in my knitting and turned over my cup of Captain Wentworth tea. Anyone who is amused by sub-culture insights and the human propensity for healthy (and not so) admiration/addiction will find themselves turning off their Candy Crush Saga game or the umpteenth viewing of Downton Abbey and reading into the wee hours of the night. Yaffe is as an astute observer of human nature and its intricacies as the great master herself.\n\n13 thoughts on “Among the Janeites: A Journey Through the World of Jane Austen Fandom, by Deborah Yaffe – A Review”"

"30 Americans at the Barnes Foundation",

"Representative works from the Rubell Family collection are on view at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. This is the 10th anniversary presentation of 30 Americans. The exhibit has travelled the country, but have been seen only once before in the eastern United States. The Barnes presentation is striking. The art even more so.\n\nYou enter the exhibit through tall black iron gates. Atop them is a tiny Klux Klux Klanner, who loomed large over the black community in the United States. Immediately inside the exhibition area is a tall wall of packed cotton. In recent memory, people like Tinee and Marsh Richardson in Yellow Bluff, Alabama, still picked cotton on Peyton Burford's plantation. Now machines have replaced them. Yet cotton remains at the heart of the black experience in America. Through a doorway, a take on Diego Velasquez' Count Duke Olivares shines in bright colors. A black man sits in the saddle now, his uniform full of color. Nike is prominent too.\n\nThe exhibit swings between the joy of emancipation and the cruel and lingering effects of Jim Crow.\n\nThe Rubells began collecting when they were young. Their couple-collecting has a different twist from Ethel and Robert Scull, who became well-known collecting Warhol, whose painting of Ethel Scull 36 times is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection. They were immediately attracted to artists whose work has been under-repesented. They bought Basquiat early on. He is represented by two works in the Barnes show, Bird on Money (1981) and One Million Yen (1982.)\n\nThe Rubells did not buy work in galleries or at auction. They went to the artists studios, got to know them and their work and dealt directly with them.\n\nThe diversity here is mind-boggling. Kara Walker is represented by silhouettes, including a rabbit resembling Br'er. The silhouette figures are cut-out and glued to the wall each time they are mounted.\n\nWhat strikes is the extraordinary talent we have been missing. The Denver Art Museum recently exhibited one of its own, Jordan Casteel, to a packed overture. (She is Urban League founder Whitney Young’s granddaughter and now can be seen in her Harlem home and in London).\n\nThe controversy surrounding the transfer of the Barnes Foundation to central Philadelphia is past. Clearly the presence of the Museum within walking distance of the train station and on the way to the Philadelphia Art Museum has made the collection accessible to many. Yet this exhibit reminds us that the collection was left to Lincoln University, a college founded eleven years before the Civil War. It was specifically intended for freed and runaway black slaves who Princeton, northern most of the southern colleges, would not admit. Thurgood Marshall and Langston Hughes are among its graduates. Now the descendants of the very group this collection was designed to benefit by Dr. Barnes' will are being shown in stunning glory."

"Raised in rural Manitoba I developed an early appreciation of birds evidenced by the complete collection of Red Rose Tea Bird Cards on this page. My travels on the prairies including several unexpected birds. Find them all my Birdland page.",
null,
"It was a strange April day in Manitoba: temperatures around 30 degrees C and clear blue skies all weekend long. I was staying with my cousin, Duncan, in the east end of Brandon. On the day I arrived, Duncan pointed out an ornamental cherry tree in his neighbour’s backyard that was loaded with shriveled red cherries. Unfit for human consumption, the cherries are a delicacy of certain birds that, according to Duncan, each spring swarm the tree and feast on the cherries, now sweetened by winter’s freezing and thawing.\n\nThe next morning, as if induced by my cousin’s comment, the tree was alive with cedar waxwings. Famished from their long migration, the waxwings cover the tree and the ground below, ravenously eating the cherries. A flock of birds flies up from the ground into the branches and the ones from the tree swarm to the ground, excited birds, appetites whetted, blissful on a hot strange spring day.\n\nThe air was vibrating with the shrill keening of the waxwings. Several large still-bare nearby trees were decorated with more cedar waxwings waiting to feed, hundreds of birds in all. Flock after flock dined at the cherry tree.\n\nSeveral curious species – robins, blue jays and starlings – arrived to see what all the commotion was about. These birds prefer feeders and worms to cherries but waxwing enthusiasm was contagious. The feeding frenzy went on most of the morning then the flock was gone, the air still, quiet, hot.\n\nIn a few weeks, the cherry tree will be smothered in tiny white and pink blossoms that perfume the air with a sweet smell. By then subsequent flocks will have stripped all the cherries from the tree.\n\nCedar waxwings have the ability to digest a variety of berries, some of which are poisonous to humans. Gorging themselves for hours, waxwings have been known to get a little drunk if the berries have fermented.\n\nA sleek, beautiful creature, cedar waxwings are strikingly identifiable: the brown topnotch crest and breast with grey wings and tail, the yellow wash over the belly, the dark eye mask and throat marking, the yellow tail tip and the distinctive waxy red drops on the wings which give the birds their name. The females are somewhat plainer. Cedar waxwings are one of the few birds whose numbers are increasing in North America.\n\nConiferous trees are favoured places to build their deep nests. Chicks are born late to ensure a supply of berries and bugs for their growth. I remember seeing waxwings as a kid in western Manitoba. Apparently they abound in Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg but I haven’t seen one in our neighbourhood for years. The last time I saw one was a few years ago at Last Mountain Lake in Saskatchewan. I was camping next to the bird sanctuary and saw a nesting pair.\n\nWhat a hopeful sign it was to see a huge flock of excited birds so eager to fulfill their biological imperative. I had begun to wonder if there were large flocks of any birds remaining. It was good to see an old friend return with such vigor."

"My name is Zoran Turajlić. I was born in Croatia’s eastern region of Slavonia. As an infant, I moved to Dubrovnik. where I grew up and still live with my wife Ivana and daughters Klaudia and Đive.\n\nAs it usually happens, this early trajectory and family roots have marked my life path. You know what they say, home is where the heart is. I suppose in my case it’s more like – home I where the hearth is. The tastes of my childhood include rich continental stews and cakes prepared by my Slavonian granny, along with a whole range of true Mediterranean dishes from Dubrovnik. And somehow those recipes and travels stuck with me for good. I always connect food and drink with great company, meeting new people and nourishing old friendships. Whether it’s a first time meeting or reunion, food is the connecting element which I find indispensable.",
null,
"My idea of good time includes preparing a feast for my family and friends, whenever I can. First I hit the local fish market as soon as it opens, preferably before opening. I circulate around a bit, talk to fishermen as they unload their last night’s catch. There I buy the freshest fish in the world. Then I rush off to get some vegetables straight from my farmer friend and start cooking. My recipe? Only fresh ingredients and only local ingredients. No compromises about that!\n\nWhen I travel around the world with the family or friends, it’s a totally different challenge. I love to roam the food markets in foreign cities, taste and try local produce and hang out with street food vendors. And guess what… Everywhere you go, people love their food. They are proud of their tradition and are ready to talk about it. And I feel lucky because I like to learn.\n\nI worked various jobs in catering and tourist industry and was a barista for a quite a while. Knowing my passion for both food and cooking, people often asked me why on earth did I not start my own restaurant or became a chef? Don’t get me wrong, I love chefs. I have many dear and long-time friends among them and truly admire their skills. But I also love being on the move, to explore, to visit my friends winemakers, restaurant owners, oyster farmers and truffle hunters all around Croatia. And why not bring some new acquaintances along?\n\nAt a certain point – and this is something I have to thank for to my loving wife – I decided to turn this interest and passion of mine into a true profession. And this is how I became a fulltime expert Croatian food guide.",
null,
"You probably know that already, but Croatia is rather small comparing to some other European countries. Only four million people live in Croatia. The country territory is not that big. One might expect we have a single cuisine and few wines. However, the truth is quite the opposite!\n\nDue to its position at the geographical and historical crossroads, Croatia has at least six big culinary regions and many sub-regions whose cooking styles, recipes, and local ingredients greatly differ. Let me illustrate this a bit. A mere 20 minutes car drive can mean a huge difference in terms of menus and ingredients. Think Mediterranean vs. continental menus! Or ruby red southern wines growing on harsh stone coastal terrain vs. elegant whites from the lush inland plains. I just can’t imagine getting bored with such variety of tastes and choices.\n\nBecause of that, I believe Croatian food and wine regions give total new meaning to the word local!\nAnd, last but not least, Croatia is not some historical showcase, frozen in time. During last few decades, Croatia has opened to new culinary and farming trends but also begun to revive and enrich its old culinary and farming traditions. And this is happening on a large scale, in a sort of grassroots fashion. For example, at this moment Croatia has over 40.000 registered winemakers and quite of number of those have already become the world-famous names. The old olive orchards are revived as we speak. Chefs compete to give their own twist to local recipes and even to traditional street food. Therefore, something new is happening every day. I still discover a new thing behind some curve on a peninsula or atop some inland hill. I find this very exciting and I’m more than happy and willing to share those food adventures with you.\n\n\n© Copyright Tour With Zoran\nWe use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website.

"Home » Europe » Julian Assange latest: Health fears as he displays ‘all signs of a torture victim’\n\nThe whistleblower looked a shadow of his former self when he stepped out for his first public appearance in months as he sought to fight extradition to the United States, according to the activist. The Ministry of Justice, which is responsible for the UK’s Prison Services, have denied Mr Assange was subjected to torture. However, Craig Murray, who has worked with torture victims in the past, was at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday when Mr Assange, 48, walked in displaying noticeable weightless, greying hair and an aged appearance.\n\nMr Assange is being kept in solitary confinement at HMP Belmarsh where he is allowed out of his cell for only 45 minutes each day and has severely restricted contact with fellow inmates.",

"“I know how they behave, and he is behaving exactly as a tortured victim behaves.\n\n“He has all the symptoms of a torture victim, in terms of disorientation and difficulty in asserting their will and speaking coherently.”\n\nNils Melzer, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on torture, made a similar observation.",
null,
"He said following a 60-minute conversation with Mr Assange, an hour-long physical examination and a two-hour psychiatric examination, he believed he was being subjected to torture.\n\nMr Melzer said his belief was shared by medical doctors who had carried out the examination.\n\nHe said: “We all came to the conclusion that he showed all the symptoms that are typical for a person that has been exposed to psychological torture over an extended period of time.”",
null,
null,
"A Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said: “The allegations Mr Assange was subjected to torture are unfounded and wholly false.\n\n“The UK is committed to upholding the rule of law, and ensuring that no one is ever above it.”\n\nMr Assange, who spent seven years holed up in Ecuador’s embassy in London before he was dragged out by police in April, faces 18 counts in the United States including conspiring to hack government computers and violating an espionage law.",
null,
"In May he was sentenced to 50 weeks in jail for skipping bail.\n\nHe struggled to get his words out, mumbling stuttering as he gave his name and date of birth at the start of a preliminary hearing in the case.\n\nWhen the judge asked him at the end of the hearing if he knew what was happening, he replied “not exactly”, complained about the conditions in jail, and said he was unable to “think properly”.",
null,
"Mr Assange said: “I don’t understand how this is equitable.\n\n“I can’t research anything, I can’t access any of my writing. It’s very difficult where I am.”"

A case for Chief Inspector, Maurice Pruvost, and Professor Jacqueline Mouchot, internationally-acclaimed forensic anthropologist at the Sorbonne in Paris.\n\nThe chapel of Notre Dame de la Salette sits peacefully among the ancient vineyards of the Languedoc Region. Yet within it has occurred the brutal murders of two young lovers, behind a locked door. Why? When? How? Who?

"A while back, we covered a jailbreak tweak called Grafiti [sic]. It allowed you to instantly create and share drawings via the messages app, by acting as a keyboard replacement. WIth that in mind, it supported a lot more apps than just the stock Messages app; it worked with Whatsapp, Mail, Tweetbot, and more.\n\nOnce installed, Doodle Message can be found within the photos share button within the Messages app. Simply tap the photo button, and you’ll see a new option at the bottom of the list called Doodle. Tapping the Doodle button brings up a full screen interface for drawing a new doodle, or annotating a photo.",

"If simple finger drawings aren’t enough for you, there’s also an option for importing photos, or taking photos to import right on the fly. These photos can be annotated with Doodle Message, which can help turn the Messages app into a poor man’s version of Evernote’s Skitch.",
null,
"If you aren’t happy with your drawing, or you make a mistake, there are a couple of simple rewind/fast-forward buttons for undo and redo functionality. There’s also a trashcan button that can be used to completely start your doodle over from scratch. Once you are completely satisfied with your masterpiece, a tap of the Done button places your finished doodle within the composition field of your new Message.",
null,
"If there’s one issue that I’ve found with Doodle Message, it’s that I had trouble actually getting the Doodles to send using iMessage. I’m not sure if this was an iMessage issue, which certainly isn’t outside of the realm of possibilities given Apple’s struggles with the service, or if the Doodle images were just so large that the chance for failure increases.\n\nDoodle Message is free on Cydia’s BigBoss repo. If you’re looking for a simple method for adding annotations and drawings to new messages, directly from the stock Messages app’s interface, then Doodle Message is worth a serious look. Grafiti is another jailbreak tweak that you should look into as well, being that it has integration with many more apps than just the Messages app. One downside to Grafiti, though, is the fact that it costs $0.99, and that it doesn’t allow you to annotate photos, which may be a big deal to some."

"This picture is pretty sketchy.\n\nIn a situation that could change laws covering restoration work in Spain, a copy of famous artworks went beyond recognition during a repair job.\n\nAn anonymous art collector has commissioned a furniture restorer to clear a copy of “The Perfect Understanding of Los Venerables,” a famous work by Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. Europa Press reported.\n\nHowever, the results are not “good” but “pulling”.\n\nThe happy face of the Virgin Mary looked like a shapeless lump, after two attempts to restore it to its original state, with smeared red lips and crooked eyes. The cost of the work is about $ 1,350.\n\nThe shady restoration made comparisons with the famous “Ecce Homo” failure in 2012.\n\nIn this case, an amateur art restorer in the town of Borja in Spain turned his attention to the fresco of Jesus Christ, “Ecce Homo” (“Behold the Man”), painted by Elías García Martínez in 1930.\n\nBut his “correction” made Jesus’ face completely unrecognizable – it became a global laugh and made comparisons with a fuzzy potato and a monkey.\n\nNow, conservation experts in Spain are calling for the tightening of laws covering restoration work.\n\nFernando Carrera, professor of Galician School of Conservation and Restoration, He told The Guardian He thinks that the restoration should be left to the professionals.\n\n“We have to make sure that people doing these kinds of jobs are trained on this,” said Carrera.\n\n“Can you imagine anybody else who is allowed to work on others? Or is it allowed to sell drugs without a pharmacist license? Or is someone who is not an architect allowed to build a building? “\n\nMaria Borja, vice president of the Valencia division of the Spanish Association of Conservative Restorers, said that although social media has drawn attention to several cases, scattered restoration work may be more common than people know.\n\n“There are a lot of situations in which the works are interfered by people without training… possibly causing an irreversible change,” Europa Press told."

"Every August there is a phenomenon that enlivens the Old-West-like town of The Dalles, Oregon: dozens of classic automobiles converge on the city for the annual Cruise the Gorge Event. Most of the cars were post-war American musclecars, but there were a few surprises.\n\nPerhaps dominating the streets were Corvettes which came out en masse. I saw at least a dozen Vettes of different vintages, including several C5s (no C6s, however). Mustangs and Camaros were also popular. There were virtually no imports unless you count the two Alfa Romeos present.\n\nYou see, before leaving the Dalles, I dropped the top and impromptu joined the cruise, doing a full lap. This was the first time I had been in a parade either formally or informally, and it was a neat experience. “Hey look, an Alfa Romeo!” some spectactors cried out. Little boys and girls waved, while some adults pointed their fingers.\n\nMidway through my drive, another Alfa joined in—a red, early 70s Spider. We drove side-by-side for only a little bit, with me shouting, “Nice Alfa you have!” and the passenger replying, “Yours too! But you are not supposed to have a bike on the back!”\n\nIt was all in great old-western fun in this family-oriented town. Perhaps better describing the event are the photos I took, below.\n\nHehe , well actually the imports came out later in the night. Till they outnumered the domestics. ↩Reply"

"Visiting East Thurrock, who struggled through the first half and were fortunate to go into the break on level terms, were probably most grateful for the stoppage, though they had made an improved start to the second half which lasted just five minutes before referee Lloyd Wood called time when the two of the four pylons went out.\n\nThe lights had failed three times during the first half but play was able to continue but with little hope of any certainty that they would stay on if restarted again, the referee had little choice.\n\nThe Rocks, who started the afternoon on the fringe of the play-off race has looked uneasy against their hosts who are starting to claw themselves away from the drop zone and they struggled to come to terms with a fluid Concord attack.\n\nConcord always looked likelier to take the lead as East Thurrock threatened little in response and they went close when an angled cross from Khale Da Costa took a deflection that saw it hit barn and post before bouncing away.\n\nHowever, it wasn’t long before the Beachboys got the opening goal when another cross from Da Costa caused confusion in the Rocks defence on 31 minutes and a combination of defender Lee Burns and Concord captain Steve Cawley ensured the ball went over the line.\n\nBy this time the lights had failed a couple of times on one side and restarted but though the game was being played out in gloom, there was still enough light to go on – though clearly there wasn’t enough light for the assistant referee, who made a blunder as he peered across the face of goal after a double strike by Max Cornhill in the 40th minute brought a great double save from Louis Wells. The ball squirmed loose and span viciously but barely touched the goal-line before being hoofed away but to everyone’s surprise, not least Cornhill and the East Thurrock supporters behind the goal who had the closest view the flag went up to indicate a goal.\n\nAs it happens the abandonment that was to follow made the issue immaterial as the goal – or non-goal, will be wiped from the records!\n\nHaving got to halftime, which was delayed for more work on the lights it looked as if the problem had been solved as the illumination stayed on long enough for the game to restart – but just five minutes into the half the lights went out for the last time."

"Let’s be clear. The Notley NDP were not elected due to Alberta having a divided right. As can be seen with the historical NDP support numbers in general elections, there is room to split things over five ways before risking the election an NDP government.\n\nWhat happened in the 2015 election was the result of a collective revulsion on the part of the electorate over Danielle Smith’s treachery and Jim Prentice’s repugnant and flagrantly power hungry behaviour.\n\nThe electorate was appalled when Jim Prentice lured Smith and her followers into a mass floor crossing that spat in the faces of thousands of their former supporters. Voter disgust only increased as Prentice manipulated nominations in his own party while breaking his own party’s law for fixed election dates is what was a clear power grab.\n\nWhen given the opportunity, party members showed their ire as they tossed out floor crossers at nomination meetings despite the best efforts of Prentice and Navigator to protect them. The panicked protection of Bruce McAllister’s nomination after other nomination losses only served to infuriate members and voters further as we moved towards an election with no justification.",

"People were outright disgusted with the Progressive Conservative Party and it’s leadership as the 2015 election campaign began. The Wildrose Party was still reeling from the mass defection and adjusting to a brand new leader. The taint of Smith’s self-serving actions still hung on the Wildrose Party as well whether fair or not. The Liberal Party was in shambles and the Alberta Party was still essentially unheard of by the majority of the electorate.\n\nDesperate voters migrated to what they saw as the only familiar and principled voice in the electoral lineup. Nobody was thinking of right or left as they migrated to Notley. What people wanted to see for a change was some honesty and principles no matter what side of the electoral spectrum those principles came from. The PC principle of power for the sake of power was roundly rejected. Notley won a majority by default and we are all paying for that situation today.\n\nThe reason I am going over this is that some people are trying to simplistically claim that it is nothing more than a split on the right that got the NDP into power in Alberta and that simply is not true. If efforts to build an alternative to the Notley government do not take these facts into account, we may indeed really be working towards putting the Notley NDP back into power for another term.\n\nWe hear columnists calling for uniting the right.\n\nWe have a MPs calling for uniting the right.\n\nWe have Brian Jean calling to unite the right.\n\nWe have an American style PAC gathering notable names and raising money to unite the right.\n\nWe have basement meetings chaired by former MLAs calling for uniting the right.\n\nAll of the above are considerations but it is going to take some time and a lot of deliberation to determine what course is best. Rushing into things with so many questions hanging could lead to further splintering and alienating the electorate even more.\n\nI don’t have solid answers but I can certainly see some things that are sure to fail.\n\nFor some sort of alternative to succeed it has to be created totally in the open!\n\nAmong the many things that repelled the electorate last year, the backroom negotiations and nature of the moves by Prentice and Smith were paramount. Nobody likes secret, self-serving deals and if the public gets even a whiff of such activities in any new efforts they will head for the door in droves. It is this issue that makes me hope that the new PAC starts becoming much more transparent in its funding sources and its goals or it may be quite counterproductive,. On the surface right now it looks like many of the same old players trying to recreate the PC party simply for the sake of getting back into power again. This may indeed not be the case at all but perception in politics is indeed reality and the perception had best be improving soon.\n\nI attended an informal gathering of conservative minded folks hosted by Wildrose MLA Derek Fildebrandt and PC MLA Mike Ellis last December. While nothing solid came from the meeting, I think it was very productive in that it got many stubborn partisans into the same room with the goal of examining where they have common ground. The complete transparency and informal nature of the gathering was of great appeal. It let us put our hackles down with no hard agenda and let many of us realize that we are closer together on things than we may think. While these sorts of gatherings don’t produce immediate, solid results, they help build the foundation we need. I hope that we see more of them. Again, patience is required here.\n\nWe need principles that run deeper than simply gaining power and raising money!\n\nThe Wildrose Party is celebrating record fundraising numbers and they should. Strong fundraising indicates a good grassroots support base. That being said, we saw rather clearly in the last election that spending alone does not win seats. The electorate doesn’t give two shits about which party or candidate raised or spent more money. They want to vote for somebody who shares common principles with them.\n\nIf the move towards an alternative can only define itself as existing for the sake of gaining power, we can rest assured that the movement will be rejected as well. The PC party in it’s last few years in government truly demonstrated that retaining power at all costs was it’s only mandate and Albertans got more than tired with that. We need something more.\n\nWe have to define just what the heck the “right” even is.\n\nWhat is right? Is it just fiscal conservatism? Is it social conservatism? How much mix? While the Wildrose was being labelled as being anti-gay due to the odious “lake of fire” ravings of one of it’s former candidates, the PC Party infuriated the province with the pushing of Bill 10. So which of the parties is socially conservative and how?\n\nPC MLA Sandra Jansen is demonstrating a social leftism which puts her on par with the NDP despite her flogging of Bill 10 only a little more than a year ago. This sort of demonstration of floating personal principles demonstrates exactly the kind of self-serving opportunism that we are all sick and tired of. Jathensen will clearly support anything if she thinks it will keep her seat. Is she right wing? Is she left wing? Does it matter? If parties somehow merged, would she really be able to share a caucus with Rick Strankman for example?\n\nI don’t think we should see MLAs and candidates lining up and declaring themselves to be right or left and not budging based on ideological standing. If we are going to keep harping on “unite the right” though we had better settle on just what the “right” is.\n\nThe last PC budget was decidedly left wing while their social policies in the end were right wing.\n\nI am socially very left and fiscally very right. I wont claim that Alberta has a libertarian majority but it is a significant element among voters. How will a united “right” capture that element of the electorate?\n\nI am looking forward to seeing an alternative formed and growing to the Notley government whether it is something new or an evolution of one of the existing parties. We need to act carefully though and resist the temptation to rush here. As can be seen in the initial stats in this posting, the NDP is far from being the natural governing party of Alberta. An alternative to Notley does not need to be perfect in order to replace her government. The bar is rather low when looking at traditional NDP support in Alberta as a matter of fact.\n\nLet’s take our time and give the NDP more rope. They will take care of much for us. We cant sit on our hands for the next 3-4 years but we don’t need to hatch a “united right” in the next few months either.\n\n6 thoughts on “Unite the right? Not so fast!”"

"Jeremy Rodney-Hall’s 9-track mixtape of electronic beeps and beats has been described as an exploration of his struggles with ADHD, and his desire to trust God more. It’s startling that a mixtape thats born of a lack of focused can be so singularly focused on a single vision.\n\nJeremy Rodney-Hall’s one of the indie guys from LSTNFND, one of Toronto’s many indie labels. (I think LSTNFND is one of the coolest though). Jeremy’s known more for making backing tracks for hip hop guys than he is for making his own music, so it might come as no surprise that his album is mostly vocal-less and laid-back beats. That’s not a complaint.\n\nThe record is basically Rodney-Hall getting inventive and exploring a little bit about what gets him excited, and you can tell he’s just happy to be making music. Compared to some of the hip hop beats you might be used to, Rodney-Hall’s will sound a little less produced (particularly at a higher volume), but this is a guy with a lot of great ideas.\n\nWhat I like about Rodney-Hall is that he reminds me more of Tycho than he does of a hip hop backing track. And it’s great for him to explore this a little more fully. This album is mostly electronic, mostly inspired, and largely pretty good. Give it a listen before this label blows up."

"Transferred around the third marking period to Somerset Academy High, Amanda felt like an introvert during biology class. The few friends she did have, that she could talk to, were in Ohio, a thousand miles away. Shutting down her Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook accounts at the advice of Marilyn, her mother, added to the loneliness a teen could feel, magnified one hundred times over. Even though this was her favorite class, the lesson on microorganisms from her teacher, Mr. Campbell, went over her head. Mr. C, a tall thin black man in his thirties, always taught his class with a smile and pleasant demeanor. All Amanda heard as he spoke today was garble, much like the sound heard in a Peanuts cartoon when adults were speaking.\n\n“We can continue our discussion of microorganisms in the human body tomorrow. Go over your notes and prepare for my test. Class dismissed.” Fingers gently twirling her hair, Amanda was lost in thought. Memories of friends in her old school, her parents selling their home and relocating to Florida was a lot for a sixteen year old to handle. “Amanda, time for your next class. Amanda, hello?” Waving his hands in front of her face snapped her out of her old home life flashback. “Oh, sorry Mr. C, I just have to work out some things.” She gave her teacher a big smile that showed off her sparkling white teeth and full lips, laced with cherry lip gloss that smelled like fresh fruit. “OK then, see you tomorrow,” he said while nodding in agreement. On her way to her last class, Amanda sent a text message to her friend Seth. They were in history class together at her old school. He was the only one that openly supported her decision, and asked for her new phone number before she left Ohio. “Been through a lot. Thanks for the support.” She hit send. Adam Bennett, now living as Amanda, was transitioning. After settling in Florida, Amanda made the commitment to live and dress as female for the next two years, while waiting for her transgender surgery to be approved. Getting full support from her father meant everything to her. She also knew she would not let anything or anyone stand in her way.\n\nAs Amanda, she mastered the feminine voice and mannerism. Her doctors daily scripts of hormone replacement therapy, HRT, made her look fully feminized. Her long ebony black hair enhanced her dainty little nose and ocean blue eyes. Standing at 5 feet, 7 inches and 149 pounds, she was convinced she made the right choice to switch gender. If only she could shake her depression, she thought, with pursed lips. Her text to Seth didn’t require an immediate answer, but she stared at her phone, waiting for a response that never came.\n\n“It is to be expected,” said Dr. Abbas, to Amanda’s parents. “She will experience a second puberty. Bear in mind that hormone treatments can cause moodiness. Her mood swings will rise and fall like the ocean tide. Just be supportive and prepare for the ride.”\n\n“Doc, you should be a rapper,” Ty, Amanda’s father, said. These were the first words he’d uttered since discussing Amanda. His thoughts were more focused on how he could put the old pictures of his son playing football in full gear on display, while losing the ones of him wearing makeup. “I should have my head examined for going along with all of this,” he said flatly.\n\nMarilyn, trying to digest the information the doctor provided, still had questions. She just wished Tyrone would do more than financial matters to support their child. Amanda confided in her that she would go to court to declare herself emancipated if that’s what it took to make the change.\n\n“When should she return to social media?” Marilyn asked, she and the doctor ignoring Tyrone. “I had her close all her accounts. Now she wants to open new ones to track down old friends.” The doctor took his time with his response, genuinely searching deep in his mind for the correct answer. “I would rather she stay away from social media at the moment. Her old friends have not seen her in this stage yet. There is no telling how they would respond. She doesn’t need negative or hateful comments. It will only depress her.”\n\n“But she is so persistent,” Marilyn said, frustration driving her voice a little higher. Taking deep breaths of the cool conditioned air of the doctor’s office, Marilyn tried to wish away the heat of the hot flash she was about to experience. Ty, working on the road so often, never noticed the signs of her menopause, but she knew the doctor would. Dr. Abbas looked at Marilyn with concerned eyes, then took over the conversation about Amanda.\n\n“Tell her I advised to wait just a little longer. The ideal time to start social media in her case is when she can friend a lot of new people, not just old ones for support. The past few months have been very traumatic for someone of such a young age.” Marilyn thought about how Amanda’s best friend Michael turned against her because of social pressure, almost coming to blows. She nodded her head in agreement.\n\n“May I also suggest that when talking to Amanda, you stay in the present.” Looking at both parents, he continued. “Try not to say things like when you were Adam, or when you were a boy because Amanda feels she has always been a girl and has come out as such. Avoid referencing gender when talking about the past by using other frames of reference. For instance, say when you were a child, or when you were at your old school. If you must reference male gender, say before you began transitioning.” Directing attention to Tyrone, the doctor finished saying, “or say before you shared your true gender with me.”\n\nImpatient, Tyrone asked, “are we done?”\n\nDr. Abbas stood up, signaling he was finished meeting with the couple. “Just do the best you can. It will help Amanda immensely.” The doctor reached out to shake Tyrone’s hand, but Ty just turned his back and walked away. Marilyn, trying to cover for Ty’s rudeness, grabbed Dr. Abbas hand and shook it vigorously before it could return to the doctors side.\n\n“Thank you so much Dr. Abbas. I…we really appreciate it.”\n\nAmanda decided to skip her gym class. Mr. Robert, her physical education teacher, wanted Amanda to start taking part in aerobic activates. Scheduled today was his version of four square volleyball and a fitness test relay. Both require working up a sweat and a shower afterwards. The school had unisex bathrooms, but not showers. She had to decide which shower to choose to generate the least amount of gossip. Her mother wanted to talk about this, but Amanda avoided the subject on many occasions. Now she wished she hadn’t. She thought about telling her concern to Mr. Robert, but he seemed clueless. Discussing getting fully naked in any shower with Mr. Robert was out of the question. That was not going to happen today, or any other day Amanda thought.\n\nThe first bus arriving at the stop Amanda took. Its final destination was Central Light Rail Station, which was fine by her. By the time she reached the last stop, school would be over for the day. She would not look out of place in her uniform away from school in the late afternoon. I know what I’m doing, Amanda thought, realizing she was improvising her actions on the fly. She swallowed two 25 milligrams of Anafranil with the water bottle she carried in her small shoulder bag. Amanda hadn’t been taking her antidepressants because of the gastrointestinal side effects.\n\n“Going to have a bad case of flatulence,” she giggled to herself. This was the first time her lips gave way to a smile in days. “There’s nothing like sitting next to a farting fag,”she said to herself.\n\nFeeling happy for no reason, Amanda thought about Seth, her knight in shining armor. He always came to her rescue. He will be there for her now, her mind told her. She decided to call instead of texting this time. The call went straight to voicemail. “This is Seth. You know what to do,” she heard the recording say in his voice, his wonderful voice. Amanda dropped the call without leaving a message. She popped two more pills, washing them down with the last of the bottled water.\n\nPutting on her headphones, she drowned out the noisy traffic by listening to her favorite song, What You Want, by The John Butler Trio. She closed her eyes and listened to the lyrics while thinking about Seth. The song auto repeated as Amanda grew tired and fell into a deep sleep. The family location app on her phone made a tiny beep, masked by the noise canceling headset. Marilyn had her coordinates and was traveling fast towards Amanda’s direction."

"DC Playing 11: After a thumping win over Rajasthan Royals in their last game, Delhi Capitals have kept their hopes alive for the playoffs. They will now take on Punjab Kings in match number 64 of Tata IPL 2022 which will be played at DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai.\n\nIn Delhi’s last match against Rajasthan Royals, Mitchell Marsh was performing well with both bat and ball. Riding on Marsh’s all-rounder brilliance, Delhi managed to take their revenge from Rajasthan Royals by 8 wickets, and the revenge was sweet, especially after their last meeting between the two teams earlier this season.\n\nPBKS vs DC Head to Head\n\nPrithvi Shaw out of IPL 2022? Delhi Capitals have suffered a major setback ahead of their win against Punjab Kings. Prolific opener Prithvi Shaw has reportedly been ruled out of the IPL 2022 remnants, however, we are still waiting for the final confirmation. Prithvi leaves Bio-Bubble to be hospitalized due to high fever. He is expected to be out of the rest of the tournament.\n\nDelhi desperately needs someone to support David Warner at the top. In the absence of Prithvi Shaw, Delhi Capitals are struggling to find the right opening partner for David Warner. Mandeep Singh has been tried many times and has been very disappointed. KS Bharat was tried in the last two matches but got scores of 8 and 0. Will Delhi KS stay with India or bring someone else?\n\nRELATED: Most Sixes in IPL\n\nDespite being in and out of the team, Chetan Sakaria has lived up to his chances. If Khaleel is fit he will be back in the eleven for Sakariya. Also, KS India or one of India’s U-19 World Cup winning captain Yash Dhull could be tried with David Warner at the top.\n\nthis is dc playing 11\n\nRead Also: Getting Started With a Citizen Developer Program\n\nIf Trump Is Right About Pence, Kamala Harris Picks The Next President, Quips Dem Lawmaker"

"Trade wars, ESG and demographics in China: your questions answered\n\nIn this Q&A, May Ling Wee, China equities manager, responds to key concerns for investors in China, including the impact of trade friction, environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors as well as demographic issues. She also discusses how this is creating investment opportunities and favoured sectors.\n\nQ: What are your latest thoughts on US-China trade friction and what has been the impact on the Chinese economy so far?\n\nA: News flow about the relationship between the US and China is in a constant state of flux; we would be hazarding a guess as to the final outcome. As it currently stands, our expectations for any near-term trade deal are low. The trade war between China and the US is not just about trade, but is also a battle for technological, economic superiority, and geopolitical influence. We therefore expect this ‘war’ to be long-lasting, with no easy resolution.\n\nThe first and most direct impact on China has been on domestic business owners’ confidence and therefore their willingness to invest. We have already seen Chinese trade numbers take a hit; total trade in China has weakened whereas trade data from alternate supplying countries, such as Vietnam and Taiwan’s exports into the US, have been more resilient.\n\nThe Chinese manufacturing sector has also suffered. Investments in electronics equipment and light industry manufacturing have barely grown year to date; a substantial change compared to the consistent single-digit to low-teens growth over the past few years. China is a key part of the global supply chain for electronics, an area where both private domestic and foreign investment has grown consistently. The relocation of the manufacture of lower-value goods to nearby Asian countries had already started before the onslaught of the trade wars, as China had already lost its advantage in low cost, lower-skilled labour to countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia. The process of relocation will continue, if not accelerate as every business owner evaluates the benefits of diversifying their production bases.\n\nThe crux of the trade war is on technological supremacy bringing about an economic (through productivity gains) and geopolitical advantage. Tariffs and non-tariff measures will only harden China’s resolve for self-reliance and technology independence. The US has many non-trade levers to pull. A key weak point for China is its dependence on foreign technology, especially semiconductors.\n\nSemiconductors are a vital component used across many industries today and being short of just one component could mean a system failure for the end product. China will be even more determined to move towards ensuring it supports and develops its own domestic companies to be competitive and self-sufficient in the technology supply chain. As a result, we expect to see a lot more spending and support for research and development (R&D) by Chinese technology and industrial companies to ensure self-sufficiency.\n\nAs a condition of China’s entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), China agreed to increase market access for foreign companies. China has been protecting its domestic industries by requiring foreign companies to operate through joint ventures with local partners such as in the automobile and life insurance industries. China does not want to be perceived as isolationist and wants to continue to be a significant player in the global trade of goods and services.\n\nAs a result we have seen a recent acceleration in foreign ownership deregulation in the Chinese automotive and financial industries. The lifting of restrictions should allow foreign insurers, securities companies and asset managers in China to fully own their operations and expand geographically, bringing best practice to the financial industry, foreign expertise, improved product range and healthier competition.\n\nQ: China’s rapid growth in recent decades has resulted in some negative impacts on society and the environment, while at the same time it is having to deal with issues such as rising inequality and an ageing population. How are ESG factors considered in your portfolios?\n\nA: The investment case in China is complex. In terms of the environment, China has put a lot of resources into renewable energy after years of investment in heavy and extractive industries, textiles and electronics manufacturing. It is now a richer economy where its people demand a better living environment. To ensure sustainable growth, Chinese policy has been encouraging through subsidies, investments in renewable sources of energy. It is demanding higher standards of environmental enforcement in its heavy industrial sector – a move that disqualifies many smaller enterprises without the scale and resources to invest in these environmental facilities.\n\nWe have found means to participate in such opportunities. In the natural gas distribution industry in China, the government’s ‘Battle for Blue Sky’ initiative (a three-year plan for cleaner air) and switching coal for gas effort in North China will continue to drive gas demand growth for a sustained period of time. But investing solely in areas that the government has identified as focus points is not always good enough. In many instances, subsidies and efforts to promote an industry often mean that a lot of private and public capital is drawn in. This was evident in the wind, solar and electric vehicle industries, which ultimately led to excess capacity and little pricing power for industry participants.\n\nChina has a large economy, a 1.4 billion population and covers a large land mass. Each province in China is almost a separate market. Inequality exists and China’s Gini coefficient* is high, with contrasting spending power across different provinces and regions.\n\nWhen investing in China, we often find that companies with a national brand, presence and scale are often able to develop a product range, sometimes with multi-brands that allow varied price points to suit affordability of a diverse customer base. For example, a successful home appliance manufacturer may employ multiple brands to address the varying levels of affordability of their consumers.\n\nToday, more than half of China’s population generates a per capita GDP below the national average of US$10,000. However, sustained urbanisation is expected to create 150 million urban citizens in the next ten years, offering opportunities for upgrades in consumer products as income levels grow. This creates an opportunity for a national brand to cascade its product offering upwards as each segment of their consumer groups become more willing to consume a higher value, more premium product.\n\nWe cannot deny that China’s demographic decline will be a growing challenge over time. The working age cohort (15-64 year olds) is no longer growing while the 65+ age group continues to rise. Nevertheless, China still has a large number of new workers entering the workforce each year. In the manufacturing industries, we focus on companies that continue to invest in R&D to increase automation and streamline production processes, raise productivity and reduce the number of workers required for production lines.\n\nHowever, we believe that the ageing population’s collective wealth creates opportunities in service sectors such as life insurance, wealth management and travel. Insurance penetration is low in China relative to GDP, the protection gap is large. For the maturing workforce and China’s many entrepreneurs, the desire for wealth protection and assets growth become stronger as this group considers the generational transfer of wealth as well as retirement.\n\nQ: How do Chinese stocks look now from a valuation perspective? In your view, which sectors are currently offering the most attractive investment opportunities?\n\nWe continue to like the consumer segment in China. This includes not just consumer staples and the discretionary segment, but also broader consumer-facing areas such as life insurance, healthcare, autos, and the internet. The trade war and further tariffs will undoubtedly have a negative impact on both consumer and business sentiment. However, consumption demand is relatively more stable and less volatile than corporate and business demand. This is due to lower ticket prices and affordability of consumer products, as well as the ability of consumer companies to upgrade and adjust their product offering.\n\nWe are seeing rising penetration and adoption rates as well as market share gains by leading companies in areas such as online travel, ecommerce and after school tutoring. This is occurring despite a weaker macroeconomic environment. We also like the Macau gaming sector as cash-flow generation in this space is strong and mass gaming (a large proportion of profits for some service providers) is showing resilience especially given the better infrastructure access for mainlanders into Macau.",

"From the Angioni to the Aragonese",

"The urban expansion continued along the course of the fourteenth century. Eboli passed from Pietro d’Angiò to the great Siniscalco Roberto de Cabanni. Eboli showed discrete vitality, underlined in 1341 by the presence of the Universitas plebeiorum. In 1429 queen Giovanna II gave Eboli to Antonio Colonna, nephew of Pope Martino V. Eboli became a marketable manor and was sold multiple times by its owners. In 1436 Eboli becomes manor of the Della Ratta, counts of Caserta.\n\nIn these years there is a social and economic recovery which is reflected in the urban structures. However it was the wedding between Caterina Della Ratta and Cesare d’Aragona, son of king Ferrante I, to make Eboli flourish as a central power. After the death of her husband, Caterina Della Ratta gave Eboli to her second husband Andrea Matteo III Acquaviva d’Aragona which was then given to the Sanseverino family.\n\nIn the Aragonese and spanish period Eboli is chosen by Philip II of Spain as home for his principality given to his secretary of state Ruy Gomez de Silva, then given the title of Prince of Eboli.",

"In 1552 he marries Anna de Mendoa, daughter of the duke of Francavilla. The union between the two was supported by Prince Philip, the future king of Spain. Anna de Mendoza was very fair skinned, dark brown hair and beautiful eyes, she was considered one of the most talented women of her time and one of the most beautiful and fascinating, even though due to an accident she only had one eye.\n\nTheir marriage lasted almost fourteen years and they lived mainly in Pastrana, Spain where Anna met St. Teresa of Avila. She was so fascinated by her and her reform that she volunteered for the construction of a convent in Pastrana. With her husband she inherited a large fortune which she had trouble managing along with her monastery life, so much so that the king ordered that she abandoned the monastery and attended to her royal duty.\n\nLady Anna then moved to Madrid where her misadventures began. Her friendship with King Philip II, which until now had helped her gain important friendships, was now starting to arise suspicion of the facet that she might be the King’s mistress. She went down in history as the Princess of Eboli."

"Undeterred by tariffs placed upon aluminium imports by the Trump administration the month prior, output of the metal by the People’s Republic of China in May totaled 2.79 million metric tons for the month, up 1.5 percent over the previous year.\n\nPer numbers released by the National Bureau of Statistics yesterday, Chinese smelters produced 90 thousand metric tons of virgin aluminium on average each day, off by 2,300 metric tons per day according to calculations by Reuters.\n\nWhile production fell slightly month-on-month, the price of aluminium rose in May. At the Shanghai exchange the spot price saw a bump of 0.8 percent in May, carrying on after a 4.8-percent jump in April, largely due to the aforementioned tariffs, plus sanctions levied by the United States Treasury Department against Rusal, En+, and Oleg Deripaska.\n\nIn addition to a rise in price on the Shanghai exchange, prices at the LME have been on the rise, prompting increased exports of raw and semi-formed aluminium in recent weeks. Per the numbers, May saw more exports than any other month since December 2014, with 485 thousand metric tons departing China’s shores. May’s export total surpassed April’s total of 451 thousand metric tons by 7.5 percent and eclipsed May 2017’s total shipments of 430 thousand metric tons by 12.8 percent.\n\nChina’s production of non-ferrous metals was up across the board last month, rising by 4.3 percent year-on-year to a total of 4.55 million metric tons. China’s year-to-date total came to 22.2 million metric tons, a rise of 3.2 percent over last year.\n\nMay is the last month of production prior to the full implementation of the Trump aluminium tariffs, which went into effect for major aluminium producer Canada at the stroke of midnight on June 1."

"International human rights lawyer Melanie Jacques looks at the implications of the decision of Leggatt J in Alseran and Ors v MoD on the future conduct of British military operations abroad.\n\nOn 14 December 2017, the judgment in the case of Alseran and Ors v MoD was handed down by Leggatt J, who found that in all four test cases, the Claimants had been subjected by the British Armed Forces to: (i) inhuman and degrading treatment in breach of Art 3 ECHR/HRA and (ii) unlawful detention in breach of Art 5 ECHR/HRA.\nThis judgment marks the culmination of a number of highly important domestic and European cases looking into the legality of the British detention regime in Iraq and Afghanistan, from Al-Jedda v UK in the European Court to Al-Waheed/Mohammed (No.2) v MoD in the Supreme Court.\nLeigh Day represented the Claimants in Alseran and Ors v MoD and Al-Waheed/Mohammed (No.2).\nIn finding that the British Armed Forces had breached the Geneva Conventions in respect of three of the Claimants, Alseran and Ors is also equally important from an International Humanitarian Law ('IHL') perspective, and will no doubt have major implications on future conflicts, particularly those involving the British Armed Forces.\nThe judgment not only provides a comprehensive analysis of IHL norms as they apply to detention practices across the various stages of an armed conflict (invasion and post-occupation), it also carefully applies the principles developed by the Supreme Court in Al-Waheed/Serdar Mohammed on the inter-relationship between the ECHR/HRA and IHL, and develops a number of key issues in relation to IHL, an area which has been little explored by a domestic court before, including:\nIn the days following Theresa May’s announcement of Britain’s (albeit limited) involvement in yet another conflict, the implications of Mr Justice Leggatt’s ruling will no doubt resonate in military and IHL circles alike. Although Mrs May has made it clear that the strikes were not about intervening in Syria’s civil war (and she currently has no mandate for sending in ground troops in the region), this announcement raises the spectre of further conflicts and the prospect of British troops deployment, in the Middle East or elsewhere, remains very real.\nBoth judgments will have potentially significant repercussions over the future conduct of British Armed Forces’ operations abroad, and specifically on the British detention regime. In particular, it seems inescapable that the British Armed Forces’ current doctrine regarding the detention and treatment of Captured Persons (CPERS) in armed conflicts (JDP 1-10 Captured Persons, 3rd ed.) is in need of a serious overhaul, in light of Mr Justice Leggatt’s finding that the MoD’s system for reviewing detention during the war fighting phase was based on its misunderstanding of the Geneva Conventions of 1949. Specifically, Leggatt J held that the detention review process “was flawed because it wrongly applied a presumption that, if there was any doubt, it should be assumed that detainees were prisoners of war who should be kept in custody”, thereby depriving them of the procedural safeguards envisaged by the Fourth Geneva Convention.\nWhat’s more, the UK Government’s announcement in October 2016 that it would introduce “a presumption to derogate from the European Convention on Human Rights in future conflicts”, combined with the ongoing threats to the human rights system posed by the Brexit Bill, raise serious concerns about the future accountability of the British Government for the action of its armed forces engaged in military operations overseas. It remains essential, now more than ever, to increase scrutiny of the government’s future plans for military action, in order to ensure that it continues to abide by its obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law.",

"This attractive early 18th-century oil on canvas depicts several figures with horses before an idealised rural landscape with distant village.\n\nThe artist has drawn inspiration from the imagined landscapes of French baroque painters, particularly Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665). Artists working in this manner would combine elements from their own natural world with fictional components from antiquity. There’s every chance that the village with its conspicuous campanile (belltower) actually exists but probably not in this actual view.\n\nPoussin was a master of this style of landscape in every sense of the word. Much of his approach was pioneering and lauded by peers and critics. In this piece, we see a technique that he often employed to great effect - the use of “coulisses” or “theatre wings”. Essentially this term refers to the trees at either side of the composition that guide the eye, while also creating depth of field.\n\nWe also see another of his frequently employed elements in the use of foreground focus, which acts like a stage. Note how the figures on the right are lit more prominently than the foreground on the left.\n\nPaintings such as this would’ve been popular on the continent in the early 18th-century, particularly with middle-class buyers. The artist here is unknown but evidently well-versed in the nuances of proficient landscape painting.\n\nHoused in a swept gilt frame with foliate."

"Watch For A Win: A Bracket Challenge To Give Back\n\nHow do you stay connected with coworkers while working from home or across distances? To build connections, while having fun and doing good, the corporate communications team came up with a brilliant way to include the whole company in an interactive initiative: re-imagining a bracket style tournament challenge. If you are a sports enthusiast, you know that head-to-head match-ups bring out the competitor in everyone. Perhaps you haven’t watched basketball all season and can’t even locate some of the schools on a map but when it comes to selecting your bracket, uniform colors, geographies, rivalries, mascots and even players’ facial hair can be part of the strategy, often with incredibly successful results.\n\nAt Capital One, that spirit of competition took off in full force when the bracket challenge was reimagined into the Battle of the Binge-Watching. Ideal for this pandemic year in which you may have found yourself at home watching more shows than usual, the premise was simple: pit shows against each other in the categories of Comedy, Drama, Fantasy and Reality. Associates selected their favorites in each match up using emojis on Slack, and the show that received the most emojis progressed to the next round. In the end, there was nothing to feel guilty about when it came to binge watching shows, because each vote supported the Capital One Impact Initiative in a big way: associates received points each round that they could allocate to one of four nonprofit partners.",
null,
"Participation was high, with several participants commenting on how much fun it was. “This has become the HIGHLIGHT of my day!” ESM Sr. Associate Andrea Y. said. Policy and Innovation Risk Specialist Mustafa K. commented, “This is awesome! Love Capital One for doing these things.” Several participants noted that it was also a great way to beef up their watch lists for future binge watching. “I’m using these matchups to write down new shows to watch!” said Retail Bank Project Manager Scotty L. According to External Affairs’ Healther M., \"My favorite part of the ‘Battle of the Binge-Watching’ bracket is seeing TV shows that are new to me rack up votes! I've been looking up trailers and making a list of shows to watch next based on those that perform well.\"\n\nBut despite the genuine fun had by all, it was undeniable that a huge draw during the Battle of the Binge-Watching was how it tied back to Capital One’s Impact Initiative. Over 10,000 votes were allocated to the four nonprofit partners, Halcyon, Veteran’s Village, Boys and Girls Club of Harlem and the Commit Partnership, amounting to $20,000 in total support.\n\nIn a year unlike any other, acknowledging the way routines may have changed and creating a way to channel those changes into a community impact—with a side of fun and a dose of company connections—is what this initiative was all about. The Battle of the Binge-Watching tapped into Capital One associates’ commitment to finding new ways to stay connected to one another in fun ways, even when we’re physically apart. It also proves our associates’ commitment to doing good for the communities in which we live and work, which is at the heart of the Impact Initiative.\n\nOnly time will tell what pandemic creations will carry on as traditions when the world is back to normal, but thanks to the enthusiasm of Capital One associates, we can safely say the Battle of the Binge-Watching was a fun way to reconnect with each other—and do some good while we were at it."

"After being tied at 13 six minutes into its second round game against Iowa, Villanova went on an 11-2 run to pull away, finished the first half with 54 points (while holding the Hawkeyes to 29) and never had less than a 64 percent win probability the entire contest. Earlier in the day, Miami got 1.02 points per possession against Wichita State’s nationally renowned defense en route to a convincing victory, bookended by both a strong start and strong finish — outscoring the Shockers 46-20 in the opening and closing 10 minutes of the game.\n\nBut what’s funny is how each team’s path to victory Thursday night could be similar to how things went down in those games last weekend. For Villanova, it will be about imposing its will against a senior-laden Miami, like Iowa, that does everything well but nothing great. For Miami, it will be about keeping Villanova’s foot off the accelerator early and playing to its strengths on offense, like they did so well against Wichita.\n\nKeep an eye on the perimeter. The Hurricanes allow opponents to score 26.5% of their buckets from three-point range, just 288th nationally. But the Wildcats get nearly 34% of theirs from long range. Something here will give.\n\nSouth Dakota State and Hawaii were a couple sexy opening weekend picks, both double-digit seeds coming out of the South region. So it’s a bit surprising for many to even see Maryland alive at this stage in the tournament.\n\nNeither the Terrapins nor the Jayhawks dig terribly deep into their benches on any given night, and I think that plays more into the hands of Bill Self who got a combined 43 points and 15 rebounds from Perry Ellis and Wayne Selden against Connecticut, with plenty of other contributors. But Rasheed Sulaimon could provide an interesting test defensively for a guy like Selden after committing just 1.7 fouls per game this season while recording 20 steals since Jan. 31.\n\nEven with its size, Maryland is somehow an abysmal rebounding team and is -5 in overall margin so far in the tournament. If that’s a weakness Kansas can expose early, its overall talent will win over at most every position from Frank Mason on up.\n\nRandom Fact: Kansas has lost eight games east of the Mississippi River since 2014 by an average of 11.4 points per game.\n\nIt’s not just the state of Iowa that’s coming into this game a little salty — Texas A&M robbed the entire universe of an Oklahoma-UNI Sweet 16 matchup thanks to its eternally insurmountable double-digit comeback Sunday night.\n\nThis matchup smells like trouble for the Aggies, though. After allowing 12 3-pointers to UNI and nine in its first round tilt with Green Bay, A&M is vulnerable defensively on the perimeter, which is a recipe for utter annihilation at the hands of the Sooners. Oklahoma’s starting backcourt (Buddy Hield, Jordan Woodard, Isaiah Cousins) is averaging a combined 63 points per game with a total of 17 made threes in the tournament.\n\nIt’ll be forcing turnovers and getting out in transition that could keep the Aggies in this game, but OU held up pretty well against VCU in that regard. I think KenPom’s line might be a bit off, but what do I know?\n\nRandom Fact: Texas A&M’s last win as a member of the Big 12 was over Oklahoma in the 2012 Big 12 Tournament. The Sooners have beaten them twice since then.\n\nLook to your left… Now to your right… At least one of those people picked Duke over Oregon in their bracket.\n\nThursday’s nightcap showcases an upset favorite, and most will tell you its because Oregon is the weakest 1-seed we’ve seen in years and, well, Duke is Duke. In reality, you won’t find a hotter team with more quality wins in the last month than the Ducks (and maybe Kansas), and the 20 total victories over the KenPom top-100 speaks for itself.\n\nDuke’s opening weekend games against UNC Wilmington and Yale transpired very differently — the former defined by a slow start and the latter a bumpy finish — so now would be a decent time for Coach K to find a happy medium. The Ducks haven’t lost a single game since Feb. 13 and have been lights out defensively in this postseason while maintaining a 310th national ranking in bench production. Ironically, that’s still better than seven teams left in the tournament, including Duke.\n\nRandom Fact: Oregon is 24-9 in the postseason under Dana Altman.\n\nIt’s not hard to figure out where majority rooting interest lies here, and if we’re being honest, we all probably wish it were Stephen F. Austin facing Wisconsin in this game.\n\nAlas, Notre Dame eked by both Michigan and SFA in dramatic fashion and take on (Death. Taxes.) Greg Gard’s Badgers, who are as hot as anyone in the country winning 13 of their last 16 games since starting the season 9-9. The Irish should prepare to be uncomfortable. Despite boasting one of college basketball’s most efficient offensive machines, Wisconsin has held Pittsburgh and Xavier to 43 and 63 points, respectively. And though ND can score a ton of points, they operate slowly and methodically with one of the thinnest rosters you’ll find. It’s a style of play this Wisconsin team can manage.\n\nOffensively, however, they’re going to have to do better than their 233rd ranked FG efficiency. Even SFA’s 76 points wasn’t enough to beat Notre Dame last weekend.\n\nIt’s the same rationale I used trying to dispel any notions that Iona had a shot in the first round against Iowa State — in a matchup of similar styles of play, give me the more talented roster every time.\n\nThis is going to be a track meet, but it’s hard to bet against North Carolina team that has blown away its entire opposition over the last month except for a five-point road loss to Virginia. The Tar Heels have 4-5 different guys that can take over a game on any given night, led by arguably the best forward in the country in Brice Johnson (16.8 ppg, 10.5 rpg).\n\nYogi Ferrell vs. Marcus Paige is the best individual matchup in this upcoming round, and if Ferrell has the Hoosier offense clicking, they’re damn near impossible to catch from behind.\n\nTurnovers (and the points scored off of them) could decide this game. Indiana has committed 40 in its three postseason games, 273rd nationally in that regard this season.\n\nRandom Fact: Mar. 25 would be the latest Indiana has won a game since its run to the National Championship in 2002.\n\nAnd the result? A trip to Chicago to face one of the best teams in the country for a trip to the Elite Eight. Iowa State is not supposed to beat Virginia. Compete? Definitely. Hang? Probably. But win, on this stage? Not many people are counting on it. But I guarantee you won’t find many of them around these parts.\n\nI’m of the opinion that if the Cyclones can game plan twice a year for a full court press like West Virginia’s, there’s a lot they can accomplish in a week preparing for UVA’s pack line defense. But the Cavaliers are also well coached with phenomenal athletes at every position — and fundamentally they’re flawless. At their best, we’ve seen them beat Villanova by 11.\n\nBut when these Cyclones are at their best, we’ve seen the top overall seed in this tournament lose by 13. I don’t know what else to say besides buckle up.\n\nIn a college basketball season as completely bonkers as it has been in 2015-16, we should have seen this matchup coming.\n\nBoth Gonzaga and Syracuse received tournament bids by the skin of their teeth — the Bulldogs by winning the WCC tournament title, and the Orange… well… we’re still not really sure. At one point, a Jim Boeheim-less Syracuse was 10-7 overall (0-4 in the ACC), leaving some to wonder if this was the year Boeheim might move on and leave Mike Hopkins with the keys to the kingdom.\n\nBut they’re here, by some miracle, as the higher seed in a Sweet Sixteen game — but don’t let seeds fool you. At last check, Gonzaga was a 4.5-point favorite after rolling through Seton Hall and Utah behind 20 points and 13 rebounds per game from big man Domantas Sabonis. The Orange will need to stick their strength on the perimeter because Sabonis is a force inside, and 6-9 DaJuan Coleman can’t stop him on his own.\n\nRandom Fact: Sixteen of Syracuse’s 21 wins have been by double digits.",
