"My dad passed away when I was 16 from cancer and before he died he pre payed flowers so I could receive them every year on my birthday. Well this is my 21st birthday flowers and the last. Miss you so much daddy," she posted on Twitter, along with the photos.
Her father's gesture, combined with his message on the card, touched people the world over. The Mirror in the United Kingdom picked up the story and her tweet generated many responses.
Bailey, this is my last love letter to you until we meet again. I do not want you to shed another tear for me my baby girl for I am in a better place. You are and always will be the most precious jewel I was given. It is your 21st birthday and I want you to always respect your momma and yourself. Be happy and live life to the fullest. I will still be with you through every milestone, just look around and there I'll be.
On Saturday morning, Sellers tweeted gratitude for all the messages she'd received.
I'm so thankful that my dads thoughtfulness brought so many people happiness.

Elvis Presley: Quotes That Reveal the Man
The King Lives on in the Hearts of His Fans
Elvis Presley.

Simran Khurana is the Editor-in-Chief for ReachIvy, and a teacher and freelance writer and editor, who uses quotations in her pedagogy.
Elvis Presley broke all conventions of good performance as he rose to huge fame in the 1950s. He was a good boy turned bad. He was the master seducer whose stage performance was all about making provocative dance moves. Women swooned over his drooped glance, his hip thrusts and "come-hither" gestures. He was flirting with a million women at a time. And each woman felt that Elvis had eyes only for her. That was the power of his persona.
And then came his music. Presley's music style was revolutionary. At a time when racial segregation and disparity among Black and White Americans loomed largely, Presley taught tame, White Americans how to love Black music for its upbeat rhythm, wild energy, and power.
Television sets had burst onto the scene just before Presley did, and suddenly American teenagers had access to the sexually charged, rebellious music that Presley brought to the fore. This was exactly the kind of person American parents wanted their kids to stay away from because they considered him a bad influence on their kids. And what did the kids want? Well, they wanted to rebel. They wanted to step over the line, shed their decency and express their sexuality. Presley helped them with that. Naturally, they had found their king. He was known simply as The King or Elvis, such was his enormous fame.
There is more to Presley than just his repertoire of songs. Known as the living legend in rock 'n' roll, Presley revolutionized the way the world understood and loved music.
Presley died in 1977 at age 42 at his mansion,Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee. Impersonators of The King and rock fans have continued to keep his memory alive. If Presley continues to live in your heart, you might find his voice reverberating with these quotes.
"My mother, she never really wanted anything. She stayed the same through it all. There are a lot of things that's happened since she passed away. I wish she could have been around to see them. It would have made her very happy and proud, but that's life, and I can't help it."
"I don't know why she had to go so young. But it made me think about death. I don't feel I'll live a long life. That's why I have to get what I can from every day."
"I never felt poor. There were always shoes to wear and food to eat -- yet I knew there were things my parents did without just to make sure I was clothed and fed."
"The only thing worse than watching a bad movie is being in one."
"Hollywood had lost sight of the basics. They're a lot of fancy talkers who like to pigeonhole you."
Being a Rock Star
"The image is one thing and the human being is another. It's very hard to live up to an image."
"I'm so lucky to be in the position to give. It's really a gift to give."
"People ask me where I got my singing style. I didn't copy my style from anybody. Country music was always an influence on my kind of music."
"Then I can sit on my back porch at Graceland and remember the good ol' days."
"You only pass through this life once; you don't come back for an encore."

5 TV Shows Like Pretty Smart: Watch While Waiting For Season 2
5 Shows Similar to Pretty Smart
Sitcoms will never get old and we will never stop enjoying them. If you are coming home from work tired, stressed, and sick of life, there is no better medicine than an episode of a funny sitcom. Recently, the newest Netflix sitcom Pretty Smart started to stole people's hearts. However, since Season 1 was too short to not binge-watch, everyone is now looking for shows like Pretty Smart to fill the void until the Season 2 release.
It's not an easy task to find a good sitcom that has established characters, a powerful premise, and yet also overwhelmed with comedy. Nevertheless, Pretty Smart is by no means alone when it comes to shows that would enable you to have a great time. Many shows like Pretty Smart are funny, heartwarming, and adorable.
In this article, we are presenting you with 5 shows like Pretty Smart, all of which are as good as – or even better than – the Pretty Smart. If you are a fan of sitcoms, this is the article for you.
Friends is at the top of the list of shows like Pretty Smart.
1-) Friends
Released back in 1994, Friends is one of the best sitcoms of all time. It immediately invited you in with a warm welcome as its characters, Rachel, Ross, Joey, Chandler, Monica, and Pheobe, are all one of us. Despite being aired almost 30 years ago, the themes of the show are highly relatable as it frequently touches on friendship, romance, and struggles of being an adult in your 20s. With an impressive 8.8 IMDb score, Friends is one of those shows that is timeless and a must-watch for everyone.
2-) Teenage Bounty Hunters
Teenage Bounty Hunters is one of those shows that ended too early and broke the fans' hearts. It was created by Kathleen Jordan and was a Netflix original. It aired back on Aug.14, 2020. Season 1 of the series consisting of 10 episodes that are all full of teenage antiques, fun, and adventure. Even though there will not be a Season 2 of the series, the first season is worth watching as it provides a unique premise.
Good Place
3-) Good Place
Calling Good Place a sitcom alone seems unfair as the show has an unparalleled philosophical sub-plot that makes you think and question life and death in an endless circle. Focusing on the life after death while putting the issues such as goodness, badness, blesses and sins on the table, the Good Place is a definite masterpiece. Its cast, headed by Kristen Bell, is also a total ensemble with major talents being added to it every single season. The show lasted for 4 seasons, from 2016 to 2020, and is regarded as one of the best projects ever created.
4-) Space Force
Are you a fan of the Office? Well, Space Force is not the Office, but it includes one of the best parts of the Office, which is Steve Carell. Arguably the funniest guy in Hollywood, Carell is discovering the space in this Netflix sitcom. The show premiered back in 2020 and was renewed for a 2nd season soon after. This means that Space Force Season 2 is on the way and we cannot wait for it.
5-) Girl Boss
Similar to Teenage Bounty Hunters, Girl Boss is also a show that said goodbye to us too early. It was adapted by the work of Sophia Amoruso back in 2017. Focusing on a young, rebellious woman who decides to build a fashion empire out of selling vintage clothes. The series was aired on Netflix. Although the overall reception was positive, Netflix canceled the series, which was a shame because the story was just getting good! Still, it is highly inspiring to see an ambitious woman building her own business from scratch and when there is also a glimpse of comedy in it, it is even better!

Q: How to use savepoints SQL Server Management Studio I created a SQLQuery.sql in SQL Server with this content:
declare @sql int;
select @sql = count(1) from sys.tables
save tran one
print @sql
select @sql = 0
save tran two
print @sql
rollback tran one
print @sql
I would expect result as:
n
0
n
What is wrong with my query?
A: Transactions don't affect local variables, they're there to allow you to batch up sets of statements that will change the contents of the database. I've tweaked your example to illustrate that:
BEGIN TRANSACTION
declare @sql int;
select @sql = count(1) from sys.tables
print @sql
save transaction one
CREATE TABLE TEMP (a varchar(1))
select @sql = count(1) from sys.tables
print @sql
select @sql = count(1) from sys.tables
save tran two
CREATE TABLE TEMP2 (a varchar(1))
select @sql = count(1) from sys.tables
print @sql
rollback tran one
select @sql = count(1) from sys.tables
print @sql
Now you can see that the number of tables builds up during the steps of the transaction but the new ones disappear after the ROLLBACK:
6
7
8
6
I hope that helps.

This is the first post looking at the ten most common tenancy agreement breaches by tenants, as identified by Direct Line in their survey, which I discussed in the introduction to this series.
The Direct Line survey gives the percentage of tenants who fall into arrears as 25% – which is pretty high. One in four tenants are likely to do this.
But what are the consequences for tenants of failing to pay rent?
via the section 21 procedure.
To use the rent arrears ground you need to be in arrears of two months or more (eight weeks if you pay weekly) both on the date of service of the notice and on the date of the court hearing. So there is scope for you to go into arrears but keep your arrears at under two months in order to avoid this ground coming into play.
Many tenants do this, but there are good reasons not to. The most important is that your landlord may get so fed up with you that they refuse to renew your tenancy at the end of the fixed term and decide to evict you using the section 21 procedure.
Provided the landlord has set this up properly there is no defence. So if you want to stay in the property long term, it is not a good idea to antagonise him.
So far as I am aware, in most cases, the fact of failing to pay rent per se will not impact on your credit rating. However, if your landlord obtains a CCJ for the rent arrears through the courts,this will. And it will impact on your ability to obtain another tenancy later. Few landlords will want to take on tenants who have CCJs for failing to pay rent.
Not all landlords will take up references (although all landlords SHOULD do this!) but if they do, taking a reference from the former landlord is common. Again, if your landlord reports that you are a poor payer, this will put off most landlords.
If you are renting property, you generally do not have long-term security of tenure. So you need to make sure you do not antagonise your current landlord or do anything which will put off future landlords when they are checking you out.
Having accommodation is hugely important – if you don't have anywhere to live this can have enormous negative consequences for your life, and for your children (if you have any).
Tenants should ALWAYS prioritise the payment of rent over everything else. If you are worried about spending the money before your rent day – arrange for your rent to be paid by standing order the day after your salary goes into your bank account.
Of if you are on benefit, do everything you can to ensure that the money reaches your landlord. Benefit offices will not normally pay direct to landlords but you can arrange for this to be done via a credit union or Tasker Payment services.
Next time I will be looking at smoking.
NB If you are a landlord whose tenants are failing to pay rent, you will find free guidance here.
Good points raised there Tessa thanks for that.
1) Late payment charges – I see these in the vast majority of tenancy agreements. Do you have any thoughts on what would be considered a reasonable clause?
2) References – it's also my understanding that credit referencing agencies don't include rent in the same way that mortgage payments (although I am unsure where to find this information) However you are probably aware that there is recent talk of doing so bit I'm not sure if this will go ahead or if it would need legislating for?
Jon, as far as I know rent payments are not on the credit report, yet. Though Experian are making a big push to include them in their records. As far as I see it, it can only be good for you to have it in there.
Honestly, I think late payment charges are not the solution. Making a tenant pay more, when they are already falling behind doesn't seem like the logical pick.
1. The clause, to be valid, must be fair and reflect a genuine expense to the landlord. The landlord can't use the late payment as an excuse to make more money out of the tenant. PARTICULARLY if they already have a clause for interest on late payment as then they would be charging twice. Which is unfair and unenforceable.
2. I think there is talk of this happening but I think it would need to be with the tenant's consent at the moment.
3. They should do. That's my advice to landlords anyway. And to speak in particular to former landlords as they will not be anxious to get rid of the tenant and so unwilling to give negative information. So tenants need to take care to have a good record going back several years.
My understanding is that possession proceedings/obtaining a possession order/bailiff warrant does not adversely affect a tenant's credit rating (although if the court order's the tenants to repay the landlord the court fee and they don't, the landlord could then apply for a CCJ if he wanted to, which would. Similarly the landlord could obtain a CCJ for rent arrears after the tenancy has ended as you say).
However, with a Section 8 ground 8 notice my understanding is that the landlord can obtain a money judgement for rent arrears along side the possession order in the same proceedings?? And if this is obtained this does affect the tenants credit rating?
Just to mention late payment charges as per the comment above. Note these are not 'rent' although some landlords/agents just add charges/fees to the 'rent account'. These can then be contested as to whether a tenant has a certain level of 'rent' arrears or not. Also as Tessa said, my understanding is that any charges can only be to compensate the landlord/agent for losses that have been reasonably incurred; if they're not the charges could be contested as an unfair contractual term and so could be unenforceable.
Yes, landlords CAN apply for a CCJ for the rent arrears outstanding at the time of the court hearing in a rent arrears claim – they can do this even if the tenant has reduced the arrears to below the two months level needed for a mandatory ground eviction order.
The CCJ will only affect the credit rating however, I understand, if it is enforced through the courts.
I agree that charges do not constitute rent and should be left off the rent arrears schedule. They will not count towards the rent arrears needed for a claim under ground 8.
Only thing I would prioritise over rent is council tax – at the risk of getting a criminal record rather than a CCJ.
For a short-term money problem I would prioritise rent over council tax without hesitation, assuming I have a private landlord. Getting a criminal record from council tax arrears takes years (and for my local authority, willful refusal to pay), and councils are accustomed to working with people who need payment plans to pay off arrears.
Many councils will delay enforcement for a while if you show them that you are taking action to deal with your situation (taking debt advice, claiming benefits if appropriate, etc). Not communicating with the council about the problem will likely mean huge fines and fees for bailiff instruction and the like, but even that is cheaper than being evicted.
For a longer-term problem getting help sooner rather than later is a very good idea.
I agree – private landlords will often be less willing to negotiate than the Council. And even if you do get prosecuted, it won't render you homeless.

Neophema is a genus of small Australian parrots otherwise known as the grass parakeets. It contains six species, including several popular aviary birds, as well as one of Australia's most endangered birds, the orange-bellied parrot (Neophema chrysogaster, OBP). This project will investigate diversity within Neophema through shotgun sequencing and assembly of whole mitochondrial genomes, as well as sequencing of innate immunity genes the toll-like receptors (TLRs). Diversity will be assessed across the genus as well as between individual birds. The project will generate a resolved phylogeny of Neophema, which contains two suspected subgenera as well as two sets of subspecies. To date no molecular analysis has included all six species or confirmed the assignment of subspecies; additionally, previous molecular phylogenies have contradicted the current division into two subgenera. Resolution of a complete phylogeny including all six species in the genus will assist in development of management priorities for the orange-bellied parrot. Additionally, a robust phylogeny will assist in the assessment of diversity of toll-like receptor (TLR) genes between Neophema species, and in the context of the disease Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD). PBFD affects many species of parrots worldwide, and is one of the major threats to the persistence of the wild population of orange-bellied parrots, which currently contains fewer than 70 individuals. Understanding species and individual-level differences in TLRs as well as disease prevalence and resolution may produce information of relevance to disease management, especially for the critically endangered OBP. We are working in collaboration with the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and the Environment (DPIPWE) Tasmania, and the results of this work will be applied directly in management decisions in real time.

New Delhi, India, July 30, 2015: Elite will be an online-only brand under the umbrella brand of Swipe, which plans to bring more premium smartphones to the online customer. The company has revealed plans to launch the first smartphone of the Elite series in the month of August.
After investing a year-and-a-half on research, Swipe is now launching a truly innovative offering that is designed especially for tech-savvy online customers and the aspiring youth. More than 50% of the Indian population is in youth and majority of them have high aspirations of owning a premium lifestyle gadget like a smartphone packed with a multitude of features.
In a marked departure from its traditional sales channels, the new device from Swipe will be sold as an 'online-only' property and will be launched exclusively on a leading e-commerce portal soon.
A recent research on the behavior of smartphone buyers from Counterpoint Research's Market Monitor service has revealed that close to one-fourth (22%) of the total smartphone sold in India were sold online in 2Q15. Mr. Shripal Gandhi, Founder & CEO of Swipe Technologies said "There is a growing demand for our products online and the traction has increased by almost 200% during the last year. With changing purchasing patterns of the smartphone users, Swipe's upcoming offering through this new brand Elite will be available for sale only on e-commerce websites. The idea is to introduce a premium and superior smartphone that caters to extremely aspirational and tech savvy high-end youth segment." Swipe is planning to launch phones under the Elite brand every two months after the first launch and it plans to spend a whopping INR 2 million on marketing and promotional activities.
The company has always attracted its users with amazing price points. The smartphones in the Elite series will be priced in the INR 5,000–INR 15,000 range. With this backdrop, it would be interesting to see the actual price of the device that promises a next level of user experience in smartphones.

Treasures of North Carolina History at Mordecai Historic Park
Joel Lane, the "Father of Wake County," whose Georgian manor house survives on West Hargett Street, can also be credited with the genesis of another of Wake County's architectural treasures, the Mordecai Mansion, most often called the Mordecai House by residents of the capital city. Colonel Lane began the house in 1785 and presented it as a wedding gift to son Henry and his new bride, Mary (Polly). When the newlywed Lanes took up residence the house stood just one and one half stories and contained three rooms. Soon, four daughters joined the Lane family.
Henry Lane died relatively young, at age 33, leaving widowed Mary with the responsibility of turning the ailing farm into a profitable enterprise, a task at which she summarily succeeded. After Mary's passing, the Lane's eldest daughter Margaret (Peggy) married a successful Jewish attorney from Warrenton named Moses Mordecai. Besides being non-observant in his faith, Moses had chosen for his bride a young Episcopalian woman, causing strain in the relationship with his family. Moses and Peggy were blessed with three children, living at the home built by Colonel Joel Lane until Peggy died in childbirth in 1821. Moses then married Ann (Nancy), Peggy's younger sister, who bore him one more daughter.
In his will, Moses left money for the enlargement of the house and Nancy, acting as the executor, oversaw the addition of the massive south wing. Under Nancy's direction, the modest house became a majestic neoclassical mansion adding eight additional rooms. Due to his bequest, the house began to bear the name of Moses Mordecai. Nancy continued to live in the home throughout her life, and raised all the Mordecai children as Episcopalians, attending Christ Church on Capital Square in Raleigh.
At the age of 21, Moses and Peggy's son, Henry, inherited the house. He took for his bride a distant cousin, Martha Hinton. Under Henry Mordecai, the plantation expanded to a massive holding of over 5,000 acres. Like all large southern plantations, the Mordecai's relied on the labor of slaves, holding some 100 to 120 individuals in bondage to work the land. The Civil War, and subsequent end of slave labor, brought an end to the profitability of the plantation. The family began to sell parcels of land, raising money in order to reinvest.
Henry Mordecai died in 1875, and the family continued to live in the house, still selling off parcels of land, as needed, to reinvest the money until Miss Patty Mordecai died in 1949, leaving the house to her youngest nephew, Burke Haywood Little, who was the last family member to own and live in the house. When Mr. Little's health failed, he negotiated a deal with the City of Raleigh: the city would pay for his medical care for the remainder of his life. In exchange, the city would receive title to the property upon his death, on the condition that it be operated as a historic site.
Other structures have been relocated from across Wake County and North Carolina to join the Mordecai Mansion in what has become a historic park, operated since 1979. Along with the Mordecai Mansion, the additional structures on the property comprise some of North Carolina's most important treasures: the birthplace of President Andrew Johnson (c. 1795), the Badger-Iredell Law Office (c. 1810), the Allen Kitchen (c. 1842), and St. Mark's Chapel (c. 1847). All are open for the public to see and enjoy.
The Mordecai Historic Park is located at 1 Mimosa Street in Raleigh, NC. Tours are offered on the hour, Tuesday – Saturday from 10am – 4pm, and on Sundays from 1pm – 4pm. The last tour begins at 3pm. For admission rates, special events, and more information, call 919-857-4364.

One of the most important things on offer at a corporate event is the food. People have been sitting and listening for long periods of time, so their breaks, and the food on offer during these breaks, needs to be appealing.
If you choose a catering company with a good reputation and solid experience, they will be able to give you the assistance you need to ensure the perfect menu and smooth service. They will know what's best to serve in order to communicate the right message to your clients, as well as how best to present the food on the plates. As well as deal with any potential pitfalls, like catering for special meal requests.
The catering service takes care of planning the menu, purchasing the ingredients, preparing the meals and cleaning up afterwards so there's really nothing for you to stress about in the food department! This leaves you free to focus on your event.
A catering company often has set menus that they are familiar with and can execute well. These menus are presented to you as the client, and you have a choice of what to serve your guests. Many caterers allow for a mix of choices and can customise a menu to suit your needs.
Time is an extremely valuable commodity in business. Hiring a catering company to deal with all the food prep and admin, means you save time to focus on other aspects of the event and make them a success!
If done well, the catering at your event will make an impact on the guests. People will leave remembering how well they were looked after and your company will impress the guests, leading to more productive results and more business.
It may seem like the most unimportant element of a conference venue, but as you've probably found out, the food is crucial. There are too many other things that can go wrong when planning a corporate event, don't let food be one of them! Food Matters provides full-service custom catering for corporate events. Leave it up to us, our joy is in your success!

Did you also encounter Xbox Error 0x87e107df in Windows 10? This specific error generally happens to appear at the time you buy or download contents from Xbox Live. A pop-up message "The content is no longer available on the Store" appears. Moreover, some users complain that digital games fail to load and throw up the above-mentioned code.
Here in this article, we will guide you on how to resolve Xbox Error 0x87e107df in Windows 10. It is found that the existence of old contents in the Xbox console prevents you from downloading and buying the contents. However, to bypass the issue you can remove the cache, update the Billing Information or Check the Xbox Live Connection. This will help you to avoid Xbox related bugs on the console.
First of all, you need to update Xbox Live Information and you can wipe out cache for this. The occurrence of this Xbox Error 0x87e107df indicates the presence of the older version of the item you try to buy or download. Hence, it is important to delete the old purchase info by cleaning cache.
Step-1: At first, open Xbox One controller and click on the Guide button.
Step-2: Now navigate to the Settings followed by a click on System Settings.

However, it will prompt to download the updates again once you start the gameplay.
On the controller, perform a press on the Guide button and go to Settings.
Now, choose Memory or Storage. Proceed forward and highlight any storage device and press Y on the controller.
Note: You can choose any "storage device" as it will clear out the cache for all storage devices.
Finally, select Clear System Cache.
If the message pops up, press Yes to confirm storage device maintenance. Once you successfully clear out the system cache as well as marketplace system data, reboot the Xbox 360 console.

Open the Settings hub and choose Account.
Now, choose Download History and select the items which created problems when downloading.

Q: Reshape a Dataframe with Pandas How can I reshape this dataframe with Pandas
id | col1 | col2 | col3 | value
-----------------------------------
1 | A1 | B1 | before | 20
2 | A1 | B1 | after | 13
3 | A1 | B2 | before | 11
4 | A1 | B2 | after | 21
5 | A2 | B1 | before | 18
6 | A2 | B1 | after | 22
... into the following format?
col1 | col2 | before | after
-------------------------------
A1 | B1 | 20 | 13
A1 | B2 | 11 | 21
A1 | B1 | 18 | 22
EDIT: A1 in the last line of the second table is supposed to be A2.
As the data is paired (e.g. "before" and "after") I need the columns to be aligned without 'NAs'.
df.pivot(index='col1', columns='col3', values='value')
does not work because col1 does not result in an unique index. I could create an additional column which would result in being unique. Is that the only way to go?
A: As indicated by your matrix data col1 cannot be an index because, as you said, it "does not result in an unique index".
I think your best best is:
grouped = df.groupby('col3')
pandas.merge(grouped.first(), grouped.last(), on=['col1','col2'])
A: What do you want col1 and col2 to look like after you pivot? Your example output shows A1 and B1 for the final row yet neither of those values are associated with the 18 and 22. I have a couple of options:
In [234]: tmp = DataFrame(
{'id':[1,2,3,4,5,6],
'col1':['A1','A1','A1','A1','A2','A2'],
'col2':['B1','B1','B2','B2','B1','B2'],
'col3':['before','after','before','after','before','after'],
'value':[20,13,11,21,18,22]},
columns=['id','col1','col2','col3','value'])
Option 1:
In [236]: pivoted = pd.pivot_table(tmp, values='value',
rows=['col1','col2'],
cols=['col3'])
In [237]: pivoted
Out[237]:
col3 after before
col1 col2
A1 B1 13 20
B2 21 11
A2 B1 NaN 18
B2 22 NaN
This doesn't sound like the kind of behavior you want.
Option 2:
In [238]: pivoted = pivoted.fillna(method='bfill').dropna()
Out[238]:
col3 after before
col1 col2
A1 B1 13 20
B2 21 11
A2 B1 22 18
In [245]: pivoted.reset_index()
Out[245]:
col3 col1 col2 after before
0 A1 B1 13 20
1 A1 B2 21 11
2 A2 B1 22 18
This gets you pretty close. Again, I'm not sure how you want col1 and col2 to behave, but this has the right values in the before and after columns.

This is not only the easternmost but the safest seat in Surrey – that is, for the Conservative party, who hold all 11 constituencies in the county as it is currently defined. However, the county-wide picture is not quite as monolithic as it may appear, despite Surrey's reputation as the archetype of the affluent Home Counties or outer-London-suburbs. For a start, some of the Surrey seats were genuine contests in the 2019 general election, with Esher & Walton and Guildford rightly regarded as marginals with an uncertain outcome. What is more, even East Surrey's very comfortable percentage majority only just makes the list of the 100 largest in Britain. The reason is pretty much the same in all cases: the Liberal Democrats advanced in every Surrey constituency, in some cases substantially and threateningly. Even in East Surrey they nearly doubled their share, from 10% in 2017 to 19%. In turn, the main reason for the Lib Dem advance is the existence of a significant 'Remain in the EU' opinion in the county. The 46% estimated in East Surrey, though only just below the national average, is low for the county, which helps to explain the relatively easy win here, though it should also be noted that the East Surrey MP from 2010 to 2019, Sam Gyimah, actually defected to the Liberal Democrats over the Brexit issue. He tried his luck in the Kensington constituency, where he finished third and was accused by some Labour supporters of splitting the Remain vote there and allowing the Conservatives to regain narrowly. That he did not stay here to reap any possible incumbency advantage says much about the potential strength of the Liberal Democrat challenge in this seat.
The East Surrey constituency is mainly based on the local government District of Tandridge, which has only existed since the 1974 reorganisation, but which is also the name of an ancient Hundred. Unlike Bassetlaw and Rushliffe in Nottinghamshire, the parliamentary seat has never followed by being called Tandridge, which is perhaps a defeat for romantics but prosaically describes the location more comprehensibly. The largest community in Tandridge is Caterham, a town generally divided between its hill and valley sections, and formerly notable for a large Army barracks, now the site of new housing. The seat, here largely linked by the A25, runs past Warlingham and Woldingham towards the Kent border beyond the towns of Oxted and Lingfield (as in the racecourse) eventually reaching the county boundary just west of Westerham. As the hill/valley distinction in Caterham suggests, much of the seat lies along the ridges and hollows of the North Downs. However Tandridge is not large enough to justify a constituency of its own, and in fact the largest community in the seat is borrowed from the borough of Reigate & Banstead. This is Horley, population over 22,000, which very much lies in the orbit of Gatwick Airport, and is situated between Redhill and Crawley, neither of them in the East Surrey seat. Thus Horley has something of a detached feel, 'making up the numbers'.
In the May 2019 local elections, preceding the general election by seven months, the Conservatives actually did much better in Horley than in Tandridge. They took all nine Horley ward councilors in the all-out Reigate and Banstead elections. In Tandridge, however, as in several other Surrey districts, the Tories did poorly, losing out both to a variety of independents and local residents groups and to the Liberal Democrats. For example the Oxted and Limpsfield Residents Group won all three wards they contested, Godstone was swept by a 'No Description' who got 73% despite being opposed by four party label candidates, and the Lib Dems took two Caterham wards as well as Warlingham East, Chelsham and Farleigh (they had also won both Caterham Hill and Valley in the 2017 Surrey county council elections). In all the Tories took just 4 of the 14 wards in Tandridge in May 2019. Overall they now have only a third of the 42 councillors, which is therefore thoroughly under no overall control.
The same does not, and will not, apply to the East Surrey parliamentary seat. While not breaking any records, owner-occupation, managerial occupation (especially 'lower managerial' and 'intermediate') and measures of affluence such as car ownership are all well above average, and unemployment well below. Labour has not claimed a single councillor in Tandridge since the Blair years. The Liberal Democrats have more of a local government base to work with, but there is a strong suspicion that the independents and residents who are so strong in Tandridge do mainly express a Conservative allegiance as far as general elections are concerned. The 'east end' of many cities and towns in Britain are less Conservative than the west ends, generally because of the prevailing wind, but that definitely does not apply to the constituencies within the county of Surrey. This eastern division may well again record their most commanding result next time.

It's certainly true that the various residents' groups (notably the Oxted and Limpsfield Residents group) are 'conservative' in nature, being more closely associated with UKIP than the Tories, and pretty much refusing point blank to work with any other party grouping on the District council.
Further progress by the Lib Dems and Independents/Residents on both District and County councils is quite likely, but Horley's presence in East Surrey means the seat is very unlikely to swing away from the Tories unless briefly in some high-profile by-election.

Just like that other bastion of British luxury with the initials RR, the Range Rover has become the epitome of luxurious motoring. There's a certain cachet that the car has courtesy of its popularity with the royal household, but even without this, the Range Rover can stand tall as a luxurious car that rivals the best limousines.
Despite its stint in production spanning almost half a century, there have only been four generations of Range Rover. The current one has been on sale since 2012 but thanks to new engines and updated tech it still feels modern. There's a host of engines from a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder hybrid all the way to a 5.0-litre V8 565bhp supercharged petrol. Go for the long wheelbase version, and you'll have to forego the hybrid but you'll get just as much space as a stretch limo - not that the standard car is tight to start with.
At the very top of the range, the SV Autobiography has the hand-crafted luxury that buyers at this level crave, while the distinctive proportions and lofty driving position mean the Range Rover is like nothing else on the road.
The long-travel air-suspension delivers the pillow-soft ride needed to cope with the UK's bumpiest roads. That air-suspension adjusts low to ease entry an exit, while in its highest setting the Range Rover will tackle rough ground that hardly any owner will dare to traverse.

Q: Two criterias and single regex for generic postal code I created a regex for postal code (non us countries) to include two criterias ..
*
*minimum 5 chars , max 10 chars
*should have only alpha numneric with only one space/hyphen in the middle
regex: ^([a-zA-Z0-9]{3,10}[ |-]{0,1}[a-zA-Z0-9]{0,7})(.{5,10})$
I'm not sure where this is going wrong, but this is not working
A: How about:
(?=^\w+[ -]\w+$)^[a-zA-Z0-9 -]{5,10}$
Demo: https://regex101.com/r/xqMq7o/2
Breakdown:
*
*^[a-zA-Z0-9 -]{5,10}$ sets the pattern for the allowed chars and size. It could be alone if it wasn't for the space/hyphen requirement
*(?=^\w+[ -]\w+$) makes sure there's at least and at most one space/hyphen. (\w is OK to use because it includes a-zA-Z0-9 but not -. Alternatively, [^ -] could be used in its place.)
A: after reading the posts from @acdcjunior and @CAustin, I corrected my solution too based on the regex they provided ...
(?=^.{5,10})^[a-zA-Z0-9]{3,10}[ |-]{0,1}[a-zA-Z0-9]{0,7}$
this has more criteria than what i initially posted ...
1. limit a minimum of 3 to the left of space/hyphen which not mandatory
2. limit a maximum of 7 to the right of space/hyphen
3. overall the length should be 5 to 10
4. should be alphanumeric
hope this helps to someone else too.
Thank again.

Both lace making and playing a music instrument, through fingers, feed my soul, raise me up. This is my quartet of bobbins, colours, threads and music.
Within the 6th International Competition, the Fondazione Scuola Merletti dedicated a special part of "Music and lace" to the young, to stimulate circulation of knowledge of this art in the young generation and also to enhance their imagination and creativity.
This time, my first student Ana Lena, 8-year-old girl, presented her lace. So I'm proud of her!
A little girl from Croatia!
I am so proud of Ana Lena!
The Italian association Fuselliamo organized the 5th International bobbin lace competition for 2017 to promote and appreciate the technique of bobbin lace making. It found inspiration in the paintings of Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico.
The competition for this very demanding lace making technique was divided into three categories: beginners, intermediate and advanced, and a special category for children under 15 years of age. Each category had a single pattern, the same for everyone, created for this occasion by the Association Fuselliamo. The pattern provided is full size 18×18 cm.
8-year-old Ana Lena Jelić, my first student, dared to face this great challenge and report. I do not have to tell how much her parents and I are proud of her when we saw her exposed lace work.
I was invited to participate in the group exhibition "How to interpret the sign", was held in the rectory and attended by Italian and foreign artists of different techniques, where artist "interpreted" the default flowers design made by Mrs. Maria Bissacco. With the consent of the author of free interpretation her design, it can be transformed, cut. etc…, I created the cover for an album for my lace works.
Carnival – it seemed to be the perfect place to express the given theme "The thread of design".
Inspiration of some bobbin lace stitches, threads in colours, little beads took me to lace adventure – Venice Carnival in bobbin lace.
I made the lace, 19,5×40 cm, with linen and metallic threads using 34 pairs of bobbins. Also, I used some beads to decorate it. The outside border of lace has been attached to the fabric with very closely worked overcast stitches.
The dream, a fantasy world where you live experiences and incredible situations.
In my dreams I often drop by my hometown. There is a green house where I grew up and had a happy childhood. It is a home where as 10-year-old girl my grandmother and mother had taught me to make lace. My hometown, along a beautiful river and waterfalls nearby, is simply magical. After so many years of creative hand work my hometown moved from my dreams into my lace work.
I made the lace, 29×26 cm, with metallic and linen thread using 21 pairs of bobbins.
The inspiration for the default theme "Lace: new trends in clothing" for the 4th International competition "Lace in Gorizia in 2014" I have found in Cameo jewelry.
I have made a shawl with lace application (18×32 cm) at the ends decorated with a Cameo brooch (Φ 10 cm).
"The beauty of a Cameo" I made with metallic Madeira thread no 15.
When making lace, I used several stitches: cloth stitch, half stitch, double stitch with inside and outside pins, layered gauze and tallies. I made the brooch in two layers to highlight typical Cameo style: darker colors in the background Cameo and brighter color in the foreground. In making lace I used 33 pairs of bobbins.
Inspiration for the given theme "Transparencies – A lace to confine the empty space" I have found in the sea that is nostalgically drawn into the world of lace.
By playing with the sea motifs and composition of colours I wanted to show my vision of the theme.
I have made a self-portrait.
I have always felt that my hands can do more, they speak more than my face. I have simply let my golden hands do the work, to speak on my behalf, to convey my creative thoughts, the idea of moving within the lace, to show how I feel things.
In the lace world everything is transparent. Everything that surrounds me is reflected within me, the sea depicts me perfectly in the world of lace.
Listening to the shell inspires my imagination. I listen to the sea breathing. I give way to my emotions. I listen to myself.
Blue wide space, sea depth, silence and light and powerful movements confine my time of learning how to make lace. Goldfish are my golden ideas that live within me and try to reach the surface. New ideas "float", just like my sailboats, they look for new challenges to broaden my creative horizons for making lace.
1) Waves, 4 sailboats (4 sides of the world), little fish, seahorse and corals stand symbolize moving of my thoughts, my ideas. Red corals stand symbolizes the value of lace made with a lot of love.
2) Net made with half stitch with two shades of blue symbolizes the power of sea and beauty of lace's clarity.
When making lace, I used several stitches: cloth stitch, halfstitch and double stitch with inside and outside pins, a plait with 3 pairs with a single picot, a plait with 4 pairs, leaves and 40 pairs of bobbins.
I made the lace, 35×31 cm, with metallic Madeira thread no. 15 and 30.
Inspiraciju na zadanu temu "Prozirnost – Čipka koja zatvara prostor" potražila sam u moru koje nostalgično vučem u svijet čipke.
Igrom morskih motiva i kompozicijom boja željela sam pokazati kako ja vidim zadanu temu.
Uvijek sam osjećala da moje ruke mogu više, one govore više nego moje lice. Jednostavno, dopustila sam da moje zlatne ruke rade, da govore o meni, da prenesu moje kreativne misli, ideje movinga u čipki, da pokažu kako ja stvari osjećam.
U svijetu čipke sve je transparentno. Sve što me okružuje odraz je u meni, more me savršeno oslikava u svijetu čipke.
Slušanje školjke u meni potiče maštu. Slušam kako more diše. Prepuštam se emocijama. Slušam sebe.
Modro prostranstvo, morska dubina, tišina, i lagani i snažni pokreti kriju moje vrijeme učenja izrade čipke. Zlatne ribice su moje zlatne ideje koje žive u meni i pokušavaju isplivati na površinu. Nove ideje "plove", kao i moje jedrilice, traže nove izazove kako da proširim svoj prostor izrade čipke.
1) Valovi, 4 jedrilice (4 strane svijeta), ribice, morski konjic i koralj predstavljaju kretanje mojih misli, ideje. Crveni koralj prezentira vrijednost čipke koja je izražena s puno ljubavi.
2) Mreža izrađena bodom polusvijet s dvije nijanse plave boje simbolizira snagu mora i ljepotu prozračnosti laži.
U izradi čipke koristila sam 40 pari baatića.
Čipku, 35×31 cm, izradila sam s metalikom Madeira koncem br. 15 i 30.

\section{Backlund Transformations}
\noindent
{\bf 4.} \,The Backlund transformation obtainable from the Lax pair (\ref{l1})-(\ref{l2})
is not suitable becouse the correspondance between the new and old
solutions will be of the same degree of the degree of the minimality condition.
Hence one has to solve a second order differential equation which
is as hard as the original equation. Instead we shall mention two
interesting nonauto Backlund transformations
The solution of (\ref{met5}) can be expressed interms of two
harmonic functions.
\noindent
{\bf Proposition 3}. Let $x$ and $t$ be harmonic functions of $u$ and $v$
and let a differentiable function $h(t,x)$ be defined by
\begin{eqnarray*}
[1+p^2]\,t,_{u}=-w\,x,_{v}-q\,p\,x,_{u}\\ \nonumber
[1+p^2]\,t,_{v}=-w\,x,_{u}-q\,p\,x,_{v} \label{hod1}
\end{eqnarray*}
\noindent
Then the function $h(t,x)$ is a harmonic function of $u$ and $v$
if and only if it satisfies the minimality condition (\ref{met5}).
\noindent
This proposition implies that the function $h(t,x)$ can be costructed
from (\ref{hod1})
interms of two harmonic functions $t(u,v)$ and $x(u,v)$.
The function $h(t,x)$ obtained this way satisfies the minimality condition
(\ref{met5}) automatically. In this case the metric (\ref{met6})
on the two dimensional surface $S$ takes the conformally flat form
\begin{equation}
ds_{(m)}^2=w^2\, \bigl({x,_{u}^2+x,_{v}^2 \over 1+p^2} \bigr)\,(du^2+dv^2)
\end{equation}
\noindent
Here we understand that the minimality condition (\ref{met5})
arises from a sigma model so that the target and base space metrics
are the same. Such a sigma model has a Lax pair defined in the
linear equation (\ref{lp1}) in proposition 1 (or in (\ref{l1} - \ref{l2})).
This Lax equation may
be used to construct Backlund transformation for the equation (\ref{met5})
(the minimality condition). Instead of following such a direction we
find the Backlund transformation by defining a new $2 \times 2$ matrix
function Q,
\begin{equation}
g^{\alpha\, \beta}\,g^{-1}\, {\partial_{\beta} \,g}=
\epsilon^{\alpha\, \beta}\, {\partial_{\beta}\, Q} \label{met7}
\end{equation}
\noindent
{\bf Proposition 4}: (a). Equation corresponding to the matrix $Q$ is
\begin{equation}
\partial_{\alpha}\,(g^{\alpha\, \beta}\, \partial_{\beta}\,Q)-
\epsilon^{\alpha\, \beta}\, \partial_{\alpha}\,Q\,\,\partial_{\beta}\,Q=0.
\label{met8}
\end{equation}
\noindent
(b). The corrsponding linear equation is
\begin{equation}
\epsilon^{\alpha\, \beta}\, \partial_{\beta}\,\, \Psi=
{1 \over k^2+1}\,(k\,\epsilon^{\alpha\, \beta}+g^{\alpha\, \beta})\,
\partial_{\beta}Q\,\, \Psi \label{lp2}
\end{equation}
\noindent
There is a second Backlund transformation
for the Eq.(\ref{met5}) obtainable simply by using either
(\ref{lp1}) or (\ref{lp2}).
\noindent
{\bf Proposition 5}: Let $z=h(t,x)$ define a minimal surface embedded
in the three dimensional Euclidean space $R^{3}$.
The following transformation
\begin{equation}
{h,_{x} \over w}=\psi,_{t}~~~,~~~{h,_{t} \over w}=-\psi,_{x}
\label{bt}
\end{equation}
\noindent
maps the minimality condition (\ref{met5}) to the equation
\begin{equation}
(1-\psi,_{x}^2)\,\psi,_{tt}+2\psi,_{x}\,\psi,_{t}\,\psi,_{xt}+
(1-\psi,_{t}^2)\,\psi,_{xx}=0,
\label{met9}
\end{equation}
\noindent
This equation defines a minimal surface $S^{\prime}=((t,x,w^{\prime}):
w^{\prime}=\psi(t,x))$. $S^{\prime}$ is embedded in a three dimensional
Minkowski space $M_{3}$ with the metric $ds^2=dt^2+dx^2-d\,w^{\prime\,^2}$.
The metric on $S^{\prime}$ is given by
\begin{equation}
ds_{(m)}^{\prime \,2}=g^{\prime}_{(m)\,\alpha \, \beta}\,dx^{\alpha}\,dx^{\beta}\,=
(1-\psi,_{t}^2)\,d\,t^2-2\, \psi,_{t}\, \psi,_{x}\,\,d\,x\,d\,t+
(1-\psi,_{x}^2)\,d\,x^2 \label{met10}
\end{equation}
\noindent
The minimality condition (\ref{met9}) for the surface $S^{\prime}$
may be written as
\begin{equation}
g_{(m)}^{\prime \,\alpha \, \beta}\, \psi,_{\alpha\, \beta}=0.
\end{equation}
\noindent
As an illustration to the above transformation (\ref{bt})
we can give the following nontrivial examples. The following minimal
surfaces
$$ \displaystyle \psi=
{1 \over \lambda}\,[ln\,cosh(\lambda\,t)-ln\,cosh(\lambda\,x)]$$
\noindent
$$\displaystyle h={1 \over \lambda}\,cos^{-1}\,[sinh(\lambda\,t)\,sinh(\lambda\,x)]$$
\noindent
are transformable to each other. Here $\lambda$ is a nonvanishing constant.
Finally we would like to mention another Backlund transformation wchich
maps solutions of the minimality condition to the solutions of the
Monge-Ampere equation. This is given by the following proposition
\noindent
{\bf Proposition 6:} Let the function $h(t,x)$ with enough differentiability
satisfy the minimality condition (\ref{met5}) then the metric $g_{\mu\, \nu}
={1 \over w}\,g_{(m)\, \mu\, \nu}$ satisfies the condition
\begin{equation}
\partial_{\alpha}\,g_{\mu\, \nu}= \partial_{\nu}\,g_{\mu\, \alpha},
\end{equation}
\noindent
which also implies that
\begin{equation}
g_{\mu\, \nu}= \partial_{\mu}\,\partial_{\nu}\, u , \label{ma1}
\end{equation}
\noindent
where $u(t,x)$ is enough differentiable function of $t,x$ satisfying
the equation
\begin{equation}
Det(\partial_{\mu}\,\partial_{\nu}\, u)= u_{,tt}\,u_{,xx}-u_{tx}^{2}=1.
\end{equation}
\noindent
This is the equation known as the Monge-Amp{\' e}re equation. This equation
is also integrable and its Lax-Pair can be easily obtained by using
(\ref{ma1}) in (\ref{lp1}) or in (\ref{l1}-\ref{l2}). Hyperbolic
minimal surfaces have also similar correspondance with
the Monge-Amp{\' e}re equation. Using (\ref{met9}) and (\ref{met10})
we have
\begin{equation}
g^{\prime}_{\mu\, \nu}= \partial_{\mu}\,\partial_{\nu}\, u , \label{ma2}
\end{equation}
\noindent
with
\begin{equation}
Det(\partial_{\mu}\,\partial_{\nu}\, u)= u_{,tt}\,u_{,xx}-u_{tx}^{2}=1.
\end{equation}
\noindent
which doesnot give the hyperbolic Monge-Amp{\' e}re equation
as expected. The correspondance between the minimal surfaces
in $R^{3}$ and the Monge-Amp{\' e}re equation is mentioned in
\cite{jor}-\cite{hnz}. The correspondance between the Born-infeld
and the hyperbolic Monge-Amp{\' e}re equation is mentioned in
\cite{mok}.

Our knowledge and expertise in the GRP roofing industry is second to none. We would be only too pleased to have the opportunity to give you a free no-obligation survey of your roof and a quotation to carry out any work that may be necessary.
We will not send a salesman to try to pressure sell our product to you. We will give you an honest expert opinion of the condition of your roof.
We aim to provide the kind of service we ourselves would expect if we were to have trades people working in our own homes.
We would usually strip the existing roof covering and dispose of the rubbish in a skip, the cost of which would be included in any quotation.
The roof would now be ready for the installation of the decking boards. We would normally use a moisture-resistant tongue-and-grooved decking board and mechanically fix it to the timber joists.
The boards are manufactured from a sustainable source.
Now the roof has been boarded, we are ready to fix a pre-formed fibreglass trim to the perimeter of the roof. The pre-formed trims are machine made, so they have a superb appearance and are designed to provide the roof with an expansion facility.
The trims have now been fixed and the roof is ready to receive the laminate. A laminate is formed using a polyester resin, reinforced using a chopped strand glass mat. A formed laminate is more commonly known as fibreglass.
Within 30 minutes of the laminate being laid, the resin will have cured and your roof is now watertight.
The final stage of the installation is the application of the topcoat. This is mainly cosmetic but also provides full UV resistance, something that cannot be said of other flat roofing products such as bitumen felt and EPDM membranes.
Your roof is now complete so you can look forward to many years without having to worry about leaks.

Charity car wash boosts hall floor fund
Drivers were queuing up to benefit from a fundraising car wash on Sunday.
Poppy Bromley taking part in the charity car wash
Users of California Ratepayers Hall in Finchampstead Road asked car owners for a donation in return for their cleaning efforts to support the hall. The group raised around £210.
Roland Cundy, chairman of Finchampstead Parish Council and the ratepayers hall, said the hall needs £17,000 for improvements to its floor.
He said: "We managed to wash around 42 cars, which in three hours is quite remarkable.
"That is pretty hard going for three hours work, so I'm very pleased.
"We charged £5 for every sort of car; the smallest we washed was a Mini while the biggest was probably a [Mitsubishi] Shogun, which we had to get the ladders out to clean.
"The majority of cars were covered in pollen, while at one stage we had four cars queuing up for a clean, which, for a local charity car wash, is brilliant.
"£17,000 is a lot of money for a small local place like ours, especially as our gross income is around £18,000 a year.
"But we will continue to put on some fundraising events in the summer as we look to reach the total we need."
Mr Cundy went on to thank the team of 10 washers who, during the hot weather, went about the task amicably.
A small number of volunteers also opened up a small refreshment stall inside the hall, selling sandwiches and tea for hungry drivers and cleaners.

Advance Book Review: Eight World Cups by George Vecsey
Eight World Cups on Amazon (Release Date: May 13)
In Eight World Cups, New York Times sportswriter George Vecsey reflects upon over twenty years of covering soccer's biggest event. Vecsey has spent over four decades writing for The Grey Lady and wrote the "Sports of the Times" column from 1982 through 2011, which largely focused on the broader off-field impacts and aspects of athletics. His new book offers a very personal account of covering the World Cup and his experiences following legendary teams and players such as Diego Maradona and Socrates. It is an intelligently-written recent history of the World Cup and while it is likely to tread upon some familiar territory for most readers, it is still a worthwhile pickup for soccer fans and those interested in the international phenomenon of the event.
Eight World Cups is largely structured chronologically with Vecsey describing highlights from the 1982 World Cup onwards. The book is largely a personal recounting of Vecsey's experiences at various World Cups rather than a broad overview of the events. Due to some fundamental laws of physics, he wasn't able to be at every game and he had to be selective in what games he attended. I found this "limitation" to help prevent the book from becoming a collection of basic summaries of each World Cup. He often becomes attached to certain teams and cities and tries to catch as many of their games as possible. Additionally, he generally chooses well (i.e. interesting/good teams with interesting/good players) and its not like the reader is ever mired in absurdly detailed descriptions of the rather inept Greece team in 1994 or something. Vecsey shares personal encounters with English hooligans and other fans, interviews with players and referees and anecdotes about the culture and quirks of the hosting countries. He strikes a very nice balance between describing the games themselves as well as off-field issues such as refereeing, the treatment of players, and the murky internal politics of FIFA. Writing for an American newspaper, Vecsey pays a good bit of attention to the American squads as well. He also weaves the history of the U.S. National Men's and Women's teams between the World Cup chapters and their remarkable evolution since he started covering the sport.
Vecsey is a gifted writer who describes the matches with lyrical and detailed prose that showcases his knowledge and passion for the sport. I especially enjoyed the chapters on the earlier World Cups that I was much less familiar with. His recollections of more recent events contained fewer new insights as they covered events I was already pretty familiar due to the humongous amount of press coverage and scrutiny garnered by the World Cup. I still enjoyed these portions, just not as much as those that preceded them.
In Sum
A recommended read for soccer fans looking for a fun read with some intellectual heft. Die-hard soccer fans well-versed in the history of the sport may not find that many new insights, but casual fans and those just interested in the spectacle of the World Cup should pick up Eight World Cups.

Urban Bloom_Galleria Timeworld
CA PLAN
The URBAN BLOOM, completed in January 2021, was about remodelling the Galleria Department Store, built in the 1990s. URBAN BLOOM, the new concept of Galleria Department Store, implies a morphological concept that symbolizes the blooming of flowers while pursuing the evolution and recovery of a natural landscape in the middle of the city instead of an artificial exterior. 5,700 petal modules, all in different shapes and sizes, made of steel outside the existing building surround the building and visualize the URBAN BLOOM. These architectural changes make city dwellers experience something unusual, a fantasy of entering a bouquet from an everyday space. At night, the lighting modules in the center of the petal modules turn into a 5,700 PIXEL media facade and serves as a communication hub for the communication between citizens.
The planar figure of the PETAL MODULE, applied the off-site construction (OFC) technique which prefabricates modules in the factory by unit area group and carries out only the dry assembly process in the site to minimize the installation in the site, reducing construction time and minimizing environmental pollution at the site.
The URBAN BLOOM project not only contributes to the development of a new landscape and to the revitalization of the region in terms of urban regeneration, but also creates the architectural context of the region by creating a sense of a place as the center of cultural communication which provides artistic experience and inspiration beyond the notion of a geopolitical center that the previous Galleria Department Store had.

Home news Biden Administration May Proceed with Trump's China Investment Ban
Biden Administration May Proceed with Trump's China Investment Ban
The Biden administration is expected to continue maintaining pressure on China by keeping the U.S. investment ban on specific Chinese companies intact (the ban was imposed by the former Trump administration). Biden's team is still in initial discussions about ex-president Trump's investment ban on businesses that could possibly be linked to the Chinese military – this includes three of the biggest telecommunications firms in the U.S. People familiar with the matter mentioned that no concrete decision has been made yet.
President Biden is, at present, trying to navigate a rather fraught relationship with Beijing, as tensions are high over various issues ranging from military postures in the South China Sea to human rights to trade. The investment blacklist, which was announced in November by Trump, sparked a new conflict, prompting Beijing to threaten possible legal action against international firms that adhere to the U.S. ban.
Bipartisan support
The Biden administration will likely find support in Congress for his tough stance against China.
"It is common sense that U.S. dollars should not flow to entities close to the Chinese Communist Party's military, which is building weapons and capabilities designed to kill American service members," mentioned Senator Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, in an e-mailed statement.
The investment ban has been a sore point not only in China but also on Wall Street. The financial sector, in particular, has urged President Joe Biden to roll back the blacklist, according to people in the know. Banks, in particular, want clear instructions from the Treasury's OFAC on compliance with the investment ban.
Currently, U.S. investors have a year to exit out of companies once they are mentioned on the blacklist. For the businesses that appeared on last year's original list, investors have until November 11 to divest completely.

I am a 62 year old male, I have started to get payment from the government for explsure to agent orange. They gave me very little but have raised it a good amount and I expect an even biigger amount with the recent VA announcements.
When I turned 52, I began having a new major illness each year.
Year one saw triple bypass and oxygen 24/7 for the last 10 years. This was followed by a paralyzed l. diaphragm, emphysema, a pacemaker, colon cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney stones,an abdominal aortic aneurysm, heart stent, congestave heart failure, kidney disease, ankles so sore I was not able to stand up ( I think this started from pushups on my toes)numbness in my feet.
I believe they are all related to my service to our country.
I did not expect to spend my retirement as a sicky.
I work out. I am very limited. Every movement is needed to get max benefits. I cannot walk or run for fitness. I find that Isometrics are the perfect item for me. They help my breathing muscles.
I exercise so that each day I can dress myself, bathe myself, drive a car, walk around the home, and all these things with a little dignity. The better shape I am in, means less often I have to ask my wife to carry items. My heart is very severly diseased. The diabetes has really stuck there.
I want your course so I can have the best information available to me, to just be a dignified old man. I cannot afford the cost of this book at this time. Not that I am poor. It does not fit into my budget at this price. I can afford less. So I hope I am considered as a winning entrant for the free book.
Thanks for reading this. I got carried away writing.

CDAN, Centre of Art and Nature
The aim of the Beulas Foundation is to make the CDAN a leading centre on itineraries focusing on the study of contemporary art — to create a territory for art that is capable of generating an image of modern-day Huesca and drawing international attention thanks to its specialisation in distinctive subjects related to art and nature.
© Duccio Malagamba, CDAN Archive
The starting point for the CDAN is a desire to identify this new public space as one w ith meaning – as a new civic milestone for the city and the autonomous community of Huesca; a public spaces that by virtue of the project it embodies and the way it is run can be seen as an indicator of urban quality, and therefore as a significant w ay of ensuring that new infrastructure generates value for citizens.
The Centro de Arte y Naturaleza offers a regular programme of activities that centre on its tw o major collections, nature, public space, artistic creation and contemporary culture, all with a strong emphasis on presenting new insights and perspectives. With a determination to set itself apart while reaching out to a broad audience, the CDAN will find its place in international netw orks that link artistic and cultural spaces by promoting both creative and management exchanges.
© José María Barranco, CDAN Archive
The CDAN – structured around the thematic axis of art and nature – is emerging as a living space that is open to the city of Huesca and visitors. The site as a whole is defined by a series of elements with a common identity: the plot donated by José Beulas and María Sarrate, w here the couple currently make their home, with tw o buildings constructed in the 1960s (a house designed by Benosa and a studio by García de Paredes) and a garden that w ill be linked to the property where the CDAN is situated; a building designed by Rafael Moneo, which serves as the information and management centre; and a yet-to-be-constructed building that will complete existing services. Together this set of autonomous structures will constitute an extension of the city's public space.

OB Out Loud
Decomposition in the Deep Sea
By Sean Anderson ⋅ October 30, 2015 ⋅ Post a comment
Filed Under deep sea, whale
Hilario, A., Cunha, M. R., Génio, L., Marçal, A. R., Ravara, A., Rodrigues, C. F., & Wiklund, H. (2015). First clues on the ecology of whale falls in the deep Atlantic Ocean: results from an experiment using cow carcasses. Marine Ecology, 36(S1), 82-90.DOI: 10.1111/maec.12246
Conditions in the deep oceans are harsh. Without sunlight, the water is much colder and food more scarce than at the surface. Any source of food or nutrients that reach the bottom are welcomed by the animals that live there. When whales die, they sink to the seafloor and provide an enormous pulse of food to an otherwise food-limited environment; these events are known as whale falls. Different stages in whale carcass decomposition support a succession of animal communities, ranging from large sharks to microscopic bacteria.
The first stage is known as the "mobile-scavenger" stage, when soft tissue is removed from the whale by scavengers like sharks and crabs (Fig. 1). Next, during the "opportunist" stage, other heterotrophic animals (i.e. snails and worms) take advantage of the remaining food made available by larger scavengers. They colonize the surrounding sediments and pick off any leftover scraps on or inside the whale bones. The final "sulfophilic" stage, is when whale bones decay, resulting in sulfide production (a form of sulfur). Certain bacteria can directly obtain energy from sulfur, while larger organisms rely on sulfur-reducing bacteria living inside them (called bacterial symbiosis). A single whale fall can support surrounding benthic life for an astonishing 50 years! Clearly, these incidents are important and provide a long-lasting wealth of food to many animals on the seafloor.
Figure 1: Diagram of the three different stages of whale decomposition on the seafloor.
However, all of this information comes from whale carcass falls in the Pacific – what is community succession like in the Atlantic? Whale fall events are random, non-uniform and impossible to predict, making them hard to study. The authors of this study came up with a unique solution that allowed them to document whale fall communities in the Atlantic Ocean.
The authors deployed a single bundle of five cow carcasses (570 kg total weight) off the coast of Portugal. Why use cows in their experiment? Cows were chosen because they are easy to obtain and have high lipid content within their bones. Cow bones also produce high amounts of sulfide, which would allow ample time to reach the "sulfophilic" stage in this model system. After 18 months of deployment, the team retrieved the cow bones and described the colonizing animals they found.
Results: Who was there?
After 18 months, all of the tissue had been consumed and only bones remained (Fig. 2a). A total of 33 different animals were found on or inside the cow bones, representing a diverse community. The class Polychaeta, comprised of annelid worms, were most abundant in the samples (67%). In addition to worms, other animals like snails, limpets, clams, mussels and crustaceans were present (Fig. 2b-h). Researchers found several marine worms of the genus Osedax (Fig. 2c-d). Osedax are referred to as "bone-eating" worms and, as the name implies, they bore into the bones of whale carcasses to extract lipids.
Figure 2: (A) Experimental site after 18 months. (B-H) Animals found on or within retrieved cow bones.
The number of species found in the cow bone samples was comparable to previously studied whale fall communities. There was even an example of symbiosis from the mussel, Idas simpsoni. These mussels gain their energy by harboring sulfur-loving bacteria that thrive off the decaying bones. In repayment, mussels give the bacteria a comfy and safe home. These types of symbiotic associations are found all throughout the ocean and add to animal complexity.
Conclusion and Significance:
It is hard to study whale falls because they occur thousands of meters below the ocean surface and are spread out geographically. This geographic barrier can be overcome by using alternative substrates like cow carcasses to assess whale fall communities. Terrestrial cows and marine whales differ in many ways, but this study shows that cows can be used to help model the different stages of whale fall decomposition in the deep sea. In this study, animal life found on or within cow bones was highly diverse and comparable to diversity normally seen at whale falls. After 18 months, all of the cow tissue had been removed, so researchers were unable to capture the first "mobile-scavenger" stage. They did retain organisms like worms, snails and mussels. Small-sized scavengers (mainly worms) picked off any remaining tissue, while suspension feeders (mussels) attached to bones and captured floating material during the "opportunist" stage. Evidence for the final "sulfophilic" stage was also apparent from the abundance of symbiotic mussels found in the samples.
For deep-sea animals living under harsh conditions, whale falls provide important sources of food. Whale falls may be equally important as stepping stones for hydrothermal vent species. Large areas can separate hydrothermal vents and thus whale falls may serve as temporary oases, providing food to organisms dispersing across barren sediment environments. The impact of whale falls on the deep sea will be better understood if we can increase our sample size and hit more locations throughout the global oceans. This study takes an important first step toward this goal by describing mammal fall communities in the Atlantic Ocean.

This week, read Tony Blair piece in The Sun reflecting on Gleneagles five years on and his African Governance Initiative charity's work in Sierra Leone.
As Prime Minister, my first major interaction with Sierra Leone was when it was going through a tragic civil war.
Britain stepped in and helped the government there to end it. We can all feel immense pride for the action of our brave Armed Forces.
Today, with the country's President Koroma now in charge, Sierra Leone is looking toward a brighter and more prosperous future, and I am proud to be working with him and playing my part.
Alongside the advice I give, I have a team of expert advisers who work at the very centre of government – it's called the Africa Governance Initiative, a charity that works with some of Africa's most talented and visionary leaders to make government better.

Zaynab also recently posted on Twitter that she is pregnant. Still in Syria with four younger siblings and her mother, the group are now at the centre of a controversial discussion over whether they should be allowed to return to Australia.
Zaynab's husband was Mohamed Elomar, the infamous Australian who fought for Islamic State. Zaynab's father, Khaled Sharrouf, is reported to also have been killed in the same air strike that killed Elomar, although this has not been confirmed.
Meanwhile, Karen is pleading for her daughter Tara Nettleton, and her grandchildren, to be allowed to return to Australia.
The children left Australia in 2014, with Karen, Tara and the five children, then aged 12, 11, 8, 7 and 2.
They first went to Malaysia for a holiday, and although Karen returned home to Australia, Tara and her children continued on to Syria. Tara's husband, Sharrouf, was already there waiting, having left Australian on his brother's passport.
He was previously convicted of terrorist offences in 2005, and was charged with possessing an unauthorised firearm.
Last year, Australia was shocked when one of his sons was photographed and shared on IS social media holding the head of a dead soldier.
Apart from the controversy about whether the family should be allowed re-entry, there are logistical obstacles and dangers they could face in attempting to return.
Assistant Commissioner of the AFP Neil Gaugan says that because Syria is a war zone, and there is no-one to reach the family, it would be extremely difficult for Australia to extract them from their location.
There is also the danger that Islamic State will locate and execute them for wanting to return.
What happens to suspected terrorists who return to Australia?
Several recent laws have dramatically expanded the scope of terrorism offences in Australia, prescribing harsh penalties for returning foreign fighters.
Clause 119.2 of Schedule 1 of the Counter Terrorism Legislation Amendment (Foreign Fighters) Act 2014 makes it a crime to simply be in certain geographical regions, called 'declared areas', without a reasonable excuse. The maximum penalty is 10 years imprisonment.
Actually fighting with a terrorist organisation such as Islamic State comes with a maximum penalty of 25 years imprisonment. The mother, Tara Nettleton, has been photographed firing guns in Syria, which would likely be used as evidence to support a prosecution for this offence.
And legislation is now going through parliament which would allow the government to revoke the citizenship of suspected terrorists. The proposed laws currently apply to dual nationals, even if they were born in Australia.
But Tara is not a dual citizen – solely an Australian citizen.
There is a high likelihood that Tara Nettleton will face prosecution if she returns to Australia, but the fate of her children is less certain.
After all, why should young children be blamed for the actions of their parents? On the other hand, some are against the children coming back, believing that they may be a future threat to Australian society.
It has even been suggested that Sharrouf's death was a ploy orchestrated in order to allow his family to return to Australia. Indeed, Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Julia Bishop says that the government is still trying to verify the reports of his death.
Some might expect that the impact of living in a warzone would psychologically affect the children. Child psychologist Heather Rundle told news.com.au that in order to be rehabilitated, the children would need a huge amount of support, and warned that labeling them as 'the enemy' would significantly harm their chances of identifying with Australians.
She believes it is likely that the children are already suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.
Tony Abbott and Bill Shorten have both expressed sympathy for the plight of the children, with Shorten likening the behaviour of the parents to child abuse.
Some MPs have suggested putting the children into care, and Liberal backbencher Alex Hawke expressed the view that parents who treat their children in that way deserved to be immediately disqualified from their rights of parenthood.

An "open house" allows a prospective home buyer to explore a property inside and out without having to make an appointment. Most weekends, however, open houses can be limited to one or two in any particular neighborhood.
But Long & Foster says it will host a one-day Open House "extravaganza" on November 6. A large number of Long & Foster listings will be holding open houses on that day, allowing potential buyers to see a dozen or more homes in their areas of interest in one day.
To make it even easier for potential buyers, loan officers with Prosperity Mortgage Company will be on site at as many Long & Foster open house locations as possible to answer questions and pre-qualify interested buyers. Representatives from Long & Foster Settlement Services and Long & Foster Insurance will be on hand at many locations as well.
Detwiler said the fall Open House Extravaganza gives buyers and sellers, who may be sitting on the sidelines, an opportunity to see what's happening with the market first-hand, and explore whether now is the time for them to make a housing-related decision.

Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager Ray Dalio Still Concerned Government Could Outlaw Cryptocurrency
The founder of the world's largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, is still concerned that governments could outlaw cryptocurrencies. Nonetheless, he sees bitcoin as digital gold and owns some for diversification.
Ray Dalio Worried About Government Outlawing Cryptocurrencies
Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio is still concerned that governments may outlaw cryptocurrency. Dalio now serves as the firm's chairman and co-chief investment officer. Bridgewater Associates' clients include endowments, governments, foundations, pensions, and sovereign wealth funds.
Dalio voiced his concern in an interview with CNBC last week, stating that there is "a reasonable chance" that cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, could eventually be outlawed by the federal government.
He pointed to the time when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Gold Reserve Act in 1934, transferring all of the country's privately held gold titles and certificates to the U.S. Treasury as an example. The executive previously explained that any major economic downturn or inflationary event could prompt governments to take similar action on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The 72-year-old billionaire to CNBC last week: "I own a very small amount of bitcoin. I'm not a big owner." He added:
There are certain assets that you want to own to diversify the portfolio, and bitcoin is something like a digital gold.
"I just think of it as diversification. By and large, I don't really know whether bitcoin is going to go up or down. I could argue both sides of that," he admitted.
The Bridgewater Associates executive explained that it is important to continually reevaluate the investments and avoid buying assets that perform well for a short period of time. "Be careful about what you're putting your money in," he said, elaborating: "Make the diversification global, not just in the United States."
While seeing bitcoin as a digital version of gold and a hedge against inflation, Dalio still prefers gold, citing the metal's longer history of being a "storehold of wealth." He said: "If you put a gun to my head, and you said, 'I can only have one.' I would choose gold."
Dalio's crypto ban concern is getting less and less realistic over time, however, as cryptocurrency adoption increases globally. Last week, the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler, said that Satoshi Nakamoto's "innovation is real." A growing number of the world's largest investment banks are also getting into crypto, including JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley. In addition, companies are hiring more people to work on crypto projects, including Amazon, Fidelity, and Paypal.

I look at my journal, that precious place where God and I meet, and I see a great, big "SHOULD" button flashing in my brain. I try to pick up my pen, but I can't start to write. Shaking my head, I drop the pen back on the desk and push away the journal. "No," my insides shout, "not now," so I sigh and turn to face the lush green woods outside my office window. Something tight, something heavy, blocks my wonder, my creativity, my productivity; I can't even finish the simplest of tasks. I can almost feel a physical grip on my heart.
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope. Psalm 130:5.
In 2004, I went on my first mission's trip. Five young adults and I went to the beautiful island of Jamaica to conduct a vacation bible school. Weeks of planning went into the trip. Each moment of the day was meticulously planned out. Our team arrived at the church and quickly finished preparations. As the 10 o'clock hour came and went, we were all dejected by how few children showed up. Did they neglect to advertise the event?
We quickly learned about the concept of 'island time'. In a nutshell, Jamaicans have two speeds – slow and slower! In the fast-paced world of New England, we expect everything yesterday. We lack patience or tolerance for things that take longer than a few seconds.
Admittedly, it took us all a few days to adjust to this slower pace of life. Personally, it took even longer to appreciate why they live the way that they do. First, it is hot. If you do things too quickly or exert unnecessary energy, you won't last the day. Second, they are simply more laid back than us.
But, it's not always that easy is it?
We had been living in Australia for 6 months when we visited a lawyer to facilitate buying a house. When we arrived, it was slightly unusual for us, because it wasn't an "office". We drove up a long, windy driveway to home perched in beautiful wine country. We knocked on the front door and for the next hour got a tour of a beautiful and amazing working ranch that also functioned as a lawyer's office. He invited us to sit and have a "cuppa" with him and as he did I could feel my anxiety growing as I was distracted by how much time this was taking. All we needed was to sign 3 documents, but this was taking forever.

Alberto Fernandez defends dictatorship while Daniel Ortega authorizes the arrival of Russian troops in Nicaragua
Danielle Lozano
Updates Friday, June 10, 2022 –
Named by Nicolas Maduro as his 'voice' at the US summit, Fernández regretted the absence of Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, but did not mention human rights violations in the three dictatorships.
Alberto Fernandez speaks at America's Summit.Etienne LaurentEFE
Answered questions America's summit: a scene of encounters and 'disagreements' in the region
America's summit Maduro, Ortega and Daz-Canel allies raise tone at diplomatic meeting: "America will not silence us"
"I'm sorry that everyone who shouldn't be here today isn't here." President of Argentina, Alberto Fernandez, has assured upon arrival of the US at the IX summit that its goal is to build a bridge between the opposing countries. Apparently, that part of his speech has remained in some corner of the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires, because the top of Los Angeles. Became the "voice" of Nicolas MaduroJust like the revolutionary leader had demanded from him in the past.
"We certainly wanted another summit, the silence of those absentees challenges us," the Peronist leader continued a few meters away from the host, before specifying his scolding, Joe Biden: a "blockade" against Cuba and Venezuela, a "coup" by the "gendarme" of the Organization of American States (OAS) against Bolivia, the imposition of an American director at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). and debt with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
No reprimand for human rights violation and huge democratic shortcomings Venezuela, Cuba You NicaraguaDespite the fact that Fernandez insisted that "I come from a humanitarian country, where we establish the value of human rights as the heart of our identity."
Beyond the poetic phrases and revolutionary propaganda of his colleagues, Fernández has helped lead not only three revolutions in recent times. Maduro visits Algeria and Iranwhere it has landed this Friday, but also with presidential decree Daniel Ortega authorizing the entry of Russian troops into Nicaragua, The agreement envisages training, operations and rescue, which gives Moscow privileges over other countries, such as Cuba, Venezuela or the US itself.
Geopolitics in Latin America
The announcement has been celebrated by the Kremlin's propaganda apparatus in such a way that one of its presenters confirmed that "it is time for Russia to deploy something powerful closer to an American city".
The Sandinista initiative has not only been criticized by opponents and activists, but Rodrigo Chaves, President of Neighboring Costa RicaPresent at the summit, reacted to the Russian military presence: "We have serious concerns with Nicaragua. We have no army since 1949, We are concerned and are right."
From Tehern, Maduro, knowing that he is in the limelight for his previous visit to Algiers, does not miss the opportunity to strike again in defense of the "people" of Nicaragua, Cuba and Venezuela. "Our voices resonate in Los Angeles to say that enough is enough! The path is unity and self-determination", "Sons of Chávez" highlighted.
Fernandez took advantage of his speech in the first plenary session to expand Biden Invitation to the Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), as requested by Maduro. The Three Revolutions and their Continental allies are trying to revive the body created a decade ago by Chávez and Lula da Silva in order to regain the glory of the old hegemony and besieged OAS.
"Fernández, like Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard, operated as a spokesman for the autocracy ousted from the summit and also attempted to redefine the Latin American order. Unlike Chilean President Gabriel Borík, who ruled without autocracy. In order to stop condemning human rights violations, Fernandez and Ebrard privileged a state-centred vision of sovereignty that denies popular sovereignty. In addition, they seek to inter-promote the Latin American order. want to bring back to the one that existed before the American Charter," considered historian Armando Chaguaceda for El Mundo.
"The Biden Administration Has Tried To Mislead Defend multilateralism and integrate Latin America In a time of great global challenges. The currency of these passes does nothing more than Reinforce Trumpist Latin Americanism", Chaguaceda has sentenced. At the last summit held in Lima in 2018, then President Donald Trump decided not to travel from the White House at the last minute to monitor "world events".

Here is a reporting broadcasted on TV Roscosmos about a project of a space plane for tourists. This project is developed by the Myasichev design bureau from the VM-T Atlant plane which will be used as a launch plane for a smaller shuttle equipped with a rocket engine.
This shuttle will have three seats of which one for the pilot and will fly up to 100 km height. The project has been studied for some years now, and a full scale (not working) mock-up of the shuttle was made to be used as a demonstrator.
Posted on: 2011-03-25 under VM-T Atlant.
Oui tout à fait, c'est dommage pour la crédibilité.

Founded by Torakusu Yamaha, back in the late 1800's, Yamaha had its beginnings making reed organs. Today, Yamaha is one of the largest manufacturers of musical instruments, well recognized worldwide for its pianos, string and percussion instruments. Grounded in music, even the company logo features three tuning forks overlaid in a circle. Along with instruments, Yamaha produces audio/video products; from A/V receivers to loudspeakers through to streamers and headphones. Yamaha has seven integrated amplifier models; second from the top sits their A-S2100 ($3,499 US) superseded only by their flagship A-S3000 ($6,999 US). NOVO's Glen Wagenknecht reviewed the less expensive A-S801 integrated amplifier in 2015. I though, had never evaluated a Yamaha audio component and wondered, could a company so accomplished with musical instruments capture such musical verve in its top-line integrated amplifiers?
Yamaha created the A-S2100 to satisfy discerning listeners…both audiophile and musical lovers alike. Built like a tank, weighing at over 50 lbs given its massive EI power transformer and filter caps (22,000µF x 4), it has a mid-'70s aesthetic. Real wood side panels finished in a piano gloss black lacquer give tribute to the company's piano heritage, while front VU / peak power meters add panache to the retro-chic style. A 5mm thick aluminum faceplate comes in brushed black or silver. The volume, source selector, bass/treble knobs are made of real aluminum, exemplifying its quality. The Yamaha A-S2100 eschews an integrated DAC in favour of a Moving-Magnet (MM) / Moving-Coil (MC) phono-stage for turntables. A front headphone jack is connected to a discrete head-amp circuit with its own trim level and possible speaker connections include A, B or A+B.
On the back, the A-S2100 has three stereo sets of single-ended (RCA) input jacks, phono (RCA) jacks, an in/out (RCA) tape loop, and a single stereo set of balanced (XLR) inputs. In addition, there is also a Pre-Out if you'd like to connect the A-S2100 to an external amplifier. There is also a Main-In, allowing the A-S2100 to be used as a dedicated amplifier, by-passing its preamplifier section. Though impressively equipped with inputs/outputs that are well laid out, it was the solid brass, seriously overbuilt five-way speaker binding posts that had me floored – talk about hiding the jewels. Another surprise was found on the bottom, where well-built vibration insulating feet are convertible to spikes via removable magnetic pads, and adjustable for levelling – talk about attention to detail. A svelte brushed aluminum faced handheld full-function remote is also supplied.
Without getting heavily into the electronic design and believe me there's much to be said, I'll sum it up in a few sentences. The Yamaha A-S2100 is a symmetrical balanced floating A/B MOSFET design with low noise, to facilitate pure transmission of signal. Output power is 90 Watts/channel (8 Ω) and 150 Wpc (4Ω). Within the A-S2100 lies a massive EI custom built transformer mounted with brass washers for vibration control. The preamplifer circuit of the A-S2100 is the same as that of Yamaha's flagship A-S3000; it is fully balanced from input to output.
I evaluated the Yamaha with a MOON by Simaudio 280D DAC and MiND player as the digital source, with digital files from my PC and also streamed from Tidal HiFi. My resident VPI Scout turntable was the analog source and cables were all Nordost Heimdall 2. I primarily used my Audio Physic Scorpio 25+ loudspeakers but also tried my Focal Electra 1008 Be monitors with the A-S2100.

The Economic Impact of International Trade on San Diego and the Application of the United Nations Convention on the International Sales of Goods to San Diego/Tijuana Commercial Transactions

Opponents of the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA"), were they to take a look, would find the current performance of San Diego's economy antithetical to their economic theories, San Diego is conspicuously lacking the net job loss that free trade opponents were forecasting as the inevitable result of NAFTA. In his book, Save Your Job, Save Our Country: Why NAFTA Must Be Stopped – Now!, Ross Perot, the most prolific NAFTA basher, proclaimed that the economic strength of our entire nation would be jeopardized by NAFTA.' Four and one-half years later, we find that the United States is enjoying a full
employment economy, and that San Diego is actually experiencing labor shortages from unemployment rates consistently below four percent." Nonetheless, while it appears that the dire predictions of NAFTA's impact were erroneous, it is evident from the ill-fated "Fast Track" debate in 1997 that free trade opponents are continuing to find a friendly audience for their claims of NAFTA failure.

When we get to heaven, we will gather with all of the saints around the throne and worship the King. This is really something to look forward to: no divisions, no hatred; complete unity, pure love and holy togetherness.
Every now and then, you come across something heavenly on earth, a little taste of the glory to come. That's what I believe the Christian community will experience again this Easter at Rockhampton in Queensland.
The idea of a combined churches' Easter Sunday celebration was suggested during meetings between members of the Rockhampton ecumenical ministers' fellowship.
Calvary Lutheran Church decided to take part and in 2016 the first combined Easter service was held.
We started the day with breakfast, then held a short holy communion service in our own church. We moved on to the local Baptist church for the main worship service.
Five churches officially took part and about 850 people got together for worship. There were musicians, a choir, readers and preachers, all from different churches celebrating in a way that would shake the town.
The vibrant and jubilant worship service went for 90 minutes and afterwards people fellowshipped together over morning tea. Some discovered for the first time that others in their community whom they deal with on a daily basis, worshipped the same God, though maybe in a slightly different way, and they were part of the same Christian family.
Everyone in the Christian community in Rockhampton has been encouraged. We may have thought this could never work, but it is. Churches are celebrating the joy of Jesus' victory in the war against sin, death and the devil, and the community is taking notice.
We are now preparing for our third combined Easter and I see a profound blessing and a deep need for what we are doing.
We are blessed through our unity, won for us by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and his glorious resurrection. By worshipping together, we are making a definite witness to the community, and we are trampling down barriers built up over centuries. As we treat these barriers with flippancy, we do justice to the call of Christ and we do violence to the work of the devil among us.
Pastor Rob Edwards is parish pastor for Calvary Lutheran Church Rockhampton and Yeppoon Living Waters Fellowship in Rockhampton Queensland.

There are thousands of bird species around the world from birds of prey to game, waterfowl, and garden birds. Birds are great seed spreaders and pollinators. They are also helpful in keeping the insect population under control. Birds enchant us with their lovely songs and kids enjoy watching them fly about. It's not too difficult to get kids interested in learning about birds as they are oftentimes already fascinated by them.
All birds require three things—food, water, and shelter. Provide these three elements in the garden, and the birds will come. Creating a welcoming garden for birds is easy to do and a great way to teach kids about birds. Food can come from berry-producing plants as well as nectar and pollen-producing flowers. A variety of plant life also encourages insects, which is a bird's most important food source. A variety of bird feeders located in the garden can provide birds with supplemental food, especially during winter when other food sources are scarce.
Since different birds require different types of food, be sure to include different birdseeds, suet, and sugar water for hummingbirds. Birdbaths provide an excellent source of water for both drinking and bathing. Many birds will often stop by for a quick drink or bath during migration before resuming their flight. This allows kids a rare opportunity to study and learn about unusual, non-native bird species. Besides having a variety of birdhouses that attract different types of species, shelter for many birds includes plant diversity, from low-growing plants and flowers to shrubs and trees. Brush piles, dead trees and logs, and old buildings can also provide birds with adequate shelter.
Once all the necessary requirements are present in the garden, allow kids to observe the different birds that come to visit. Keep a bird resource book nearby with pictures and information about the native bird species in your area as well as those from other places. You never know, an unexpected visit from a migratory bird is always possible. Having a pair of binoculars handy is another good way to study birds. This gives kids a chance to watch them perform their everyday routines, from plucking worms from the ground to collecting items for nest building, all from a safe distance, without disturbing the birds. Find pictures of birds to print and let the kids color the ones they see in the garden. Keeping the kids involved with cleaning and filling birdfeeders and birdbaths, as well as helping with birdhouse construction, will help to encourage further learning about birds. This is also a good tool for teaching kids about the different types of birds living in your area.
Collecting bird feathers is a great way to teach kids about birds. Go for nature walks with the kids and collect various feathers along the way. Let them guess what bird each belongs to. Discuss bird facts using feathers as a teaching aid. For instance, the shape of their wings and feathers affects their ability to fly. The broad wings of hawks enable them to soar through the air nearly effortlessly. There is often little need for them to flap their wings. Hummingbirds, however, are much smaller and flap their wings 50 to 70 times per second. This happens so fast that they seldom ever land but rather hover in the air like a helicopter. Most garden birds flap their wings much slower but faster than the larger birds of prey, averaging flying speeds of 20 to 30 mph.
Feathers are not only responsible for flight but also for insulation against weather and water. Male birds tend to have fancier and brighter colored feathers to attract females for mating. Female birds, on the other hand, have duller colors because they usually stay closer to the nest and must blend into their surroundings in order to protect their young from predators. Take a trip to a local bird sanctuary or aviary to let kids see the many different bird species and the colors of their feathers. Explain the meanings of bird rhymes or sayings, such as "birds of a feather flock together." Birds of a particular type will often travel together in flocks during migration. Another fun activity for kids is counting the birds they see. Let them try to guess the type of bird and other facts about it.
Cool Bird FactsWhile the most common bird in the world is the domestic chicken, the European House Sparrow is thought to be the most commionly seen and widespread bird in the world. This bird was first introduced to various parts of the world by European settlers and can now be found nearly everywhere including Europe, North America, India, Australia, and New Zealand.

SPIN-CHAT Program Reduces Anxiety and Depression Symptoms for Patients With Rheumatic Disease
Lana Dykes
The SPIN-CHAT Program was developed by investigators in order to help participants deal with isolation and learn better mental health coping mechanisms.
Anxiety and depression symptoms were significantly lower after 6 weeks in patients following the Scleroderma Patient-centered Intervention Network COVID-19 Home-isolation Activities Together (SPIN-CHAT) Program, according to a study published in The Lancet.1 The results may indicate effectiveness of programs designed to aid in mental health needs in this population group during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"For both anxiety and depression symptoms, there was a sharp drop in symptoms from baseline to immediately post-intervention in both groups. Thereafter, symptoms continued to drop substantively among intervention participants but not waitlist controls," explained investigators. "One potential explanation might relate to the nature of the intervention, which was designed to provide education and skills practice for coping with mental health challenges and foster ongoing social support to address isolation and loneliness."
Patients with pre-existing medical conditions, such as those with rheumatic diseases, are not only more at risk of COVID-19 complications, but they are also more likely to suffer from poor mental health including anxiety and depression. Patients with systemic sclerosis (or scleroderma) may have substantial lung involvement, use immunosuppressant drugs, and are generally frailer. The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically increased symptoms of anxiety in this patient population, as they fear severe complications or death. Isolation and uncertain access to health care add to these worries.
The SPIN-CHAT Program (NCT04335279) was developed by investigators in order to help participants deal with isolation and learn better mental health coping mechanisms. It was a 2-arm, parallel, randomized, controlled trial that lasted 4-weeks (meeting 3 times per week, 90-minute sessions) in a virtually-based group setting. Patients were diagnosed with systemic sclerosis, recruited from the International SPIN COVID-19 Cohort, and exhibited symptoms of anxiety with a PROMIS Anxiety 4a version 1.0 T-score of at least 55 (mild symptoms).
Baseline measures were taken between April 9, 2020, and April 27, 2020 and participants were placed in groups of 6-10. Anxiety symptoms were analyzed immediately post-intervention. In total, 560 patients were eligible, with 172 patients assigned to either the SPIN-CHAT Program (n=86) or the waitlist (n=86). The mean age of patients was 55 years, 94% were women, and 79% were White.
Using the 4-item PROMIS Anxiety 4a version 1.0, post-intervention analysis did not show a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms (−1·57 points, 95% CI −3·59 to 0·45; standardized mean difference [SMD] −0·22 points). However, symptoms reduced 6 weeks later (−2·36 points, 95% CI −4·56 to −0·16; SMD −0·31). Additionally, depression symptoms were significantly lower 6 weeks post-intervention (−1·64 points, 95% CI −2·91 to −0·37; SMD −0·31).
These results may be due to the ongoing nature of learning how to manage anxiety and depression. The program informed participants about the importance of physical activity, activity engagement, and coping skills. They set personalized goals and practiced new skills each week, continuing to implement strategies that worked best for each individual.
The SPIN-CHAT Program was created by a group of experts and patients with systemic sclerosis early in the pandemic in order to address mental health symptoms of this vulnerable population. It was, however, limited by including participants with undiagnosed systemic sclerosis and the symptoms of anxiety and depression were relatively low at the start of the trial. Investigators would like to do further research and reassess these symptoms, but the fast-moving COVID-19 pandemic hinders that ability. Additionally, investigators are not sure how generalizable the results would be to other patient populations, as the SPIN-CHAT Program was geared towards a specific patient group.
"Additional trials should test effects of multifaceted mental health coping interventions similar to SPIN-CHAT. However, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers must make decisions with less evidence than would preferably be available," concluded investigators. "As the length of the pandemic extends, the mental health needs of the public and how to address them is an increasingly important challenge… Multifaceted programs similar to SPIN-CHAT might be attractive options because they represent a relatively low-resource option that provides skills and support to up to 10 people at a time."

STANLEY CUP 1918 – 1949
"No recent Twitter posts." — @bigmouthsports
Stanley Cup Quiz!
On June 1, 2016, In Hockey, By Big Mouth
Mark Messier and 1994 Stanley Cup
The other day, as I slogged my way through the 30-question Stanley Cup Quiz at nhl.com, I realized something – as Judge Smails would say, "It s-s-s-s-s-s-s-ucked."
Questions whose answers nobody would know. Nothing but years and numbers answers – a recipe for gawd awful trivia questions. And no learning component whatsoever – which is a great-quiz essential.
So, here's my own 20-question (because 30 is stupid long) Stanley Cup Quiz. Have fun. Please learn something.
1. The Montréal Canadiens won five consecutive Stanley Cups between 1956-60. Name the netminder who played 49 Stanley Cup Playoff games for those Canadiens.
A) Gerry McNeil
B) Georges Vézina
C) Charlie Hodge
D) Jacques Plante

Where were you the day Wayne Gretzky was dealt?
On August 6, 2013, In Hockey, By Big Mouth
August 9, 1988 was a day that changed the face of sports forever…because it was the day Wayne Gretzky was dealt from the larger-than-life Edmonton Oilers to the meaningless Los Angeles Kings. That Tuesday morning, I arrived at my CBC Network Sports office in Toronto a little late (just like every day) and plunked myself down with my feet on my desk. Many who worked on the fifth floor of that building on the east side of Yonge Street, just north of Gerrard, were in Seoul, South Korea. There to produce CBC's coverage of the XXIV Olympic Summer Games. You know, the "Ben Johnson Games." I stayed in Toronto to produce our CFL on CBC coverage, which continued during those months. With so many gone, our offices were a lot like a ghost town. Then my phone rang.

Bob Cole is still fantastic

Legendary broadcaster Bob Cole
Make no mistake, it is still awesome to listen to Bob Cole call a Stanley Cup Playoff game on Hockey Night in Canada. He is still an absolute master at his craft. He knows when to talk. He knows when not to talk. And he knows how to pace his words so it almost sounds like he's not talking even when he is. And the richness of his voice is unmatched anywhere in the hockey broadcasting kingdom. (more…)

Hey Canada, stop sending ugly sister to IIHF World Championship
On March 24, 2010, In Hockey, By Big Mouth
Here's the scenario…a big-time sponsor throws a cocktail party for heavy hitters. They invite the world's hottest, blondest, sexiest supermodel. But she's busy. Can't attend. So she sends her fatter, uglier sister!
Who the hell wants that? Not the sponsor. Not the sister. Not even the other party guests.
And that's why I don't understand why Canada keeps sending a team to the IIHF World (Hockey) Championship. This year, it's in Germany from May 7th to 23rd. (more…)

Common sense, NHL head checks – like oil and water
I can barely stand by and watch the National Hockey League bumble and fumble its way around another hot-button issue – head checks and what to do about the recent rash of them.
If the boneheads at the top of the pyramid (NHL league execs, owners, general managers and coaches) really wanted to solve this problem, they would act on it almost overnight. But it's like watching kindergarten students trying to solve Rubik's Cube. Not only do they not know the goal they are trying to achieve, they don't even know where to begin. (more…)

There are many considerations when you are on the property ladder, especially if you are looking to move onto bigger and better houses. The housing market is incredibly competitive now, and so, it's not just the standard issue components of a home that you need to ensure is up to speed. You need to consider new or different angles, to ensure that your home is as lucrative as possible. So, what are these?
Our carbon footprint is something that we all need to consider now. When we are building a home, or we are making the relevant adjustments, sustainability is the overriding outcome we need to consider. This includes building certain parts of your home with green building materials, or making the most of the components that have the least amount of maintenance. The great thing about green building materials is that they don't require as much maintenance as the standard types, and so not only does your home boast environmentally friendly aspects, it's a way to save money overall.
Because utility costs are rising, there is much more demand for products that can encourage homeowners to be more self-sustaining. Water storage tanks are one of those things that is a simple addition to the garden, but can have a wider-reaching impact than you think. Water storage tanks can collect rainwater, and you can then use this water to water the plants and ensure your grass is well fed. There are plenty of suppliers, like Fertilizer Dealer, that provide water storage tanks, and you can contact them if you want to find out more about how water tanks work. But, when you are looking for ways to be environmentally friendly, but also save money, cutting down on your water usage is a very enticing prospect, especially when it comes to the overall value of the home.
Gardens are the most desired part of a home after the kitchen. Many first-time property buyers are that much older now than 20 or 30 years ago, and, as such, have not grown up with a garden. So if you have one, even one that's overdue a little work, it is still something that can entice people. But if you have a garden that's well maintained, and you can show prospective buyers what the garden is capable of, this will add a lot of value to the property. You don't have to go overboard, you can just add swathes of color, but also, take advantage of the space, and maybe install a bench, or general garden seating, to show how malleable the space can be during every season.
Going natural is the way to go if you're looking to find new and exciting ways to appeal to prospective home buyers. Now, concerns of our carbon footprint is ramping up, and if you can make your home that little bit more attractive to new homeowners by showing off the self-sustainability, as well as the potential for the garden space, you will help to increase the price of your property.

Previous (Phloem)
Next (Phoenician Civilization)
The term phobia, from the Greek φόβος meaning "fear," is a strong, persistent, and irrational fear or anxiety of certain situations, objects, activities, or persons. A phobia disorder is defined by an excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. Phobias are generally believed to emerge following highly traumatic experiences. Many individuals suffering from certain phobias are believed to transfer the fear of an original situation to other situations experienced in or reoccurring throughout everyday life, while the original fear is often left forgotten. Such an example can be seen in near-drowning incidents; an individual may often develop an irrational fear of water, despite minimizing the original fear of drowning. Behavior therapy, or the gradual exposure of an individual to certain objects of their most irrational fears, is generally accepted as the best method for overcoming certain phobias. However, the origin and continued recurrence, generation after generation, has yet to be solved.
1.1 Specific phobias
1.2 Social phobias
1.3 Agoraphobia
5 Prognosis
6 Examples of phobias
6.1 Acrophobia
6.2 Aviophobia
6.3 Claustrophobia
6.4 Xenophobia
Phobias, or phobic disorders, are defined as an intense, irrational fear that often leads to the extreme avoidance of the object or situation feared. They are common and believed to originate in childhood or adolescent experiences, although some common phobias have been suggested as being inborn, such as fear of heights or snakes.
Phobic disorders, like obsessive-compulsion disorder, panic disorder, or post traumatic stress disorder, are a type of anxiety disorder. Phobias are often divided into three classes; specific phobias, social phobias, and agoraphobia.
Specific phobias
Specific phobias are defined as a fear of a particular situation or object, and are the most common types of phobic disorders experienced. Specific phobias are believed to be hereditary and are common among family members. Some specific phobias include the fear of snakes, flying, dogs, elevators, and spiders.
Social phobias
Social phobias are defined by a fear of being watched or judged by others, and can include a deep fear of public embarrassment. A social phobia may also encompass a general fear of social situations, and a subsequent experience of severe anxiety when in them. Individuals experiencing social phobias may worry excessively about upcoming social situations, and may avoid events in which they may feel self-conscious. In extreme cases, individuals experiencing such phobias may deny job offers or avoid relationships due to their fears.
Agoraphobia, often believed to be the fear of open spaces, is actually the fear of feeling trapped and having a panic attack within a public space. Agoraphobia is believed to develop between the ages of 15 and 35 and is most prevalent in women. Agoraphobia often develops from an initial panic attack; after such an attack, an individual may deeply fear having another. Patients suffering from agoraphobia may incessantly fear when the next attack may occur, often generalizing their fear with one of public spaces and social settings. In its most extreme form, a patient may be unable to leave their home.
Most individuals experiencing a phobic disorder experience an anxious phobic reaction when encountering the feared object or situation. Though the triggers of certain phobias are often different, individuals dealing with phobias often face similar symptoms. Such symptoms include a feeling of terror of impending doom, rapid heartbeat and breathing, and sweaty palms. Such reactions can also consist of extreme fearfulness, elevated blood pressure, physical shaking, hot or cold flashes, nausea, and irrational cognitive reasoning. Once the individual is removed from the feared situation, these effects quickly subside; this degree of relief is believed by psychologists to reinforce the phobia and to further strengthen the avoidance of the individual to the feared object or situation. In more extreme cases, a "phobic trigger" may occur; someone struggling with a fear of water may experience episodes of panic attacks weeks before a planned vacation to the beach.
Research on phobic disorders has suggested the development of certain phobias to be both hereditary and situational. While specific phobias are often believed to be hereditary, many psychologists also identify a link with certain phobias and negative past experiences. For example, prolonged flight turbulence may trigger a subsequent fear of flying.
Most social phobias are believed to originate in a childhood or adolescent experience. Certain individuals who have experienced repeated rejection, especially during formative years, may subsequently develop poor social skills, low levels of self esteem, and an ensuing social phobia.
More is known about conditions of agoraphobia. Because panic attacks may develop spontaneously, an individual may often develop a gripping fear of when his or her next attack may be. This can lead to the avoidance of places where an individual may feel he or she could not escape if a panic attack did occur.
Phobias may be treated by various forms of therapy, ranging from techniques based on behavior therapy, such as systematic desensitization, to more cognitive therapies, such as exposure therapy.
Systematic desensitization is a type of behavioral therapy used to help effectively overcome phobias and other anxiety disorders. More specifically, it is a type of Pavlovian therapy developed by South African psychiatrist, Joseph Wolpe. To begin the process of systematic desensitization, one must first be taught relaxation skills in order to control fear and anxiety responses to specific phobias. Once the individual has been taught these skills, he or she must use them to react towards and overcome situations in an established hierarchy of fears. The goal of this process is that an individual will learn to cope and overcome the fear in each step of the hierarchy, which will lead to overcoming the last step of the fear in the hierarchy. Systematic desensitization is sometimes called "graduated exposure therapy."
Many phobias are treated through exposure therapy, or the gradual exposure of the feared object to the individual in successively longer time periods. Exposure therapy is believed to be the best approach for certain phobias as the individual is placed in an environment of comfort at all times when exposed to the object. Exposure therapy is a cognitive behavioral therapy technique for reducing fear and anxiety responses, especially phobia, and is based on the principles of habituation and cognitive dissonance. It is similar to Systematic desensitization, though it works more quickly and produces more robust results. It is also very closely related to Exposure and response prevention, a method widely used for the treatment of Obsessive-compulsive disorder. Three fourths of patients show significant improvement from this treatment.
Cognitive therapy is also used in the treatment of phobic disorders and involves an analysis of one's thoughts and beliefs in phobic situations. By helping individuals recognize the relationship between one's thoughts and one's anxiety, and that the majority of feared outcomes are unlikely, psychologists help phobic individuals to gain more control over their feared situation.
Some medications can be prescribed in the treatment of phobias. Beta-adrenergic blocking agents help to lower heart rate and reduce physical tremors, and help to reduce general anxiety within phobic patients. Antidepressants are also believed to affect certain regions of the brain in which fear is mediated, further helping to reduce anxiety in panic-prone patients. Other prescriptions involve life-changes such as the elimination of caffeine, alcohol, and stress, and maintaining a healthy diet and exercise.
Most phobias are highly treatable and individuals can often go on leading normal lives. Research has shown that once a person is rid of a phobia, it is less likely, if ever likely, to return. In matters where certain phobias are left untreated, an individual may be inflicted for life. In some cases, untreated phobias can lead to other problems and disorders, including depression, low self-esteem, and social avoidance. Psychologists suggest most adult phobias to be treated; however only 25 percent of people experiencing phobias are believed to seek help.
Examples of phobias
There exist more than 600 recognized phobias, many without treatment. A full list of known phobias can be accessed at The Phobia List. Certain phobias are detailed below.
Acrophobia
Acrophobia, a specific phobia from the Greek word ἄκρος, meaning "summit" is an extreme or irrational fear of heights. Acrophobia can prove dangerous, as sufferers may often experience a panic attack in a high place and become unable to get themselves down safely. Some acrophobics also suffer from urges to throw themselves off high places, despite not being suicidal.
The most widely accepted explanation is that acrophobia stems from the fear of falling and being injured or killed. This is classified as a normal and rational fear that most people have.
Aviophobia
Aviophobia is a strong fear of flying, or a fear of air travel. It is also sometimes referred to as "aviatophobia" or "aviophobia." Though commercial flight has become an prevalent part of modern life, flying continues to cause a significant proportion of the public to feel anxious.
Some people who are afraid of flying manage their fears well enough that they are able to fly, but may still spend considerable time and emotional energy thinking about the dangers that may befall them during flight. In extreme cases individuals are nearly incapable of getting on an airplane, and must use other means of transportation to achieve long distance travel.
Like many phobias, fear of flying may "generalize" to cause fear of flight-related situations or stimuli. Many individuals with a strong fear of flying report anxious symptoms or panic attacks when discussing air travel, when seeing airplanes overhead, when visiting airports, or when watching television programs or films that depict air travel.
Claustrophobia is an anxiety disorder that involves the fear of enclosed or confined spaces. Those suffering from claustrophobia may suffer from panic attacks, or fear of having a panic attack, in situations such as being in elevators, trains, or aircraft.
Conversely, people who are prone to having panic attacks will often develop claustrophobia. If a panic attack occurs while they are in a confined space, then the claustrophobe fears not being able to escape the situation. Those suffering from claustrophobia might find it difficult to breathe in closed auditoriums, theaters, and elevators. Claustrophobia can be treated in similar ways to other anxiety disorders, with a range of treatments including cognitive behavior therapy and the use of anti-anxiety medication.
Xenophobia denotes a phobic attitude towards strangers or of the unknown. It comes from the Greek words ξένος (xenos), meaning "foreigner," "stranger," and φόβος (phobos), meaning "fear." The term is typically used to describe fear or dislike of foreigners.
Xenophobia implies a belief, accurate or not, that the target is in some way foreign. Prejudice against women cannot be considered xenophobic in this sense, except in the limited case of all-male clubs or institutions. The term xenophilia is used for the opposite behavior, attraction to or love for foreign persons.

You can define both implicit and explicit custom conversions for a type that you author.
In the code fragment below, we've defined an implicit conversion from int to Dog and an explicit conversion from Cow to Dog.
If we try assigning a Cow instance to a variable of type Dog without the cast operator, we'll get a compile-time error indicating that there is no implicit conversion between Cow and Dog.

Facebook algorithmically cheering Al-Qaeda's Local Business page
You should be familiar with those algorithmically-produced videos of "year in review" Facebook usually generate if you are still using the social media platform. Another form of it could be celebrating years of friendship with someone or birthdays and the videos often set slideshows of your posts with cheerful music. Facebook is reportedly using them to promote contents for extremist organizations along with creating a business page for Al-Qaeda, the National Whistleblower Center Researchers found.
According to The Associated Press, the social media giant automatically created an animated, bubbly video on a local "business" page for Al-Qaeda and extremist contents "auto-generated" by the social platform include a celebratory jihadist video. While investigating the matter, the whistleblower also found other content for white supremacists groups and self-identified Nazis online.
Al-Qaeda's local business page "automatically" generated by Facebook's algorithm had over 7,400 likes, with reports saying that Facebook gave the group "valuable data" when they were recruiting people. Facebook's tools put job descriptions uploaded by users on their profile. It also copied flags, images, and branding used by the extremist group.
Facebook blames a lack of perfection in the algorithm
"After making heavy investments, we are detecting and removing terrorism content at a far higher success rate than even two years ago," Facebook said in a statement to AP, admitting its hate speech filter lacks perfection. "We don't claim to find everything and we remain vigilant in our efforts against terrorist groups around the world."
Meanwhile, Facebook's claim of having a more sophisticated system of removing terrorism content could not recognize hundreds of personal profiles named after terrorist leaders as well as "Al-Qaeda" business profile identified on Facebook during the study by the whistleblowers.
The study, which lasted for five months, closely monitored the pages of 3,000 people who connected to the organizations the US government listed as terrorist groups. It found that many of these groups including al-Qaeda and Islamic State group were "openly" active on Facebook. It also found that the social media network was continuously making new contents for the groups using its algorithms, creating videos of "celebration" and "memories"
The whole infrastructure is fundamentally flawed
The study found that Facebook's automatic features barely removed 38% of posts prominently featuring hate symbols. The feature also contributed to pages with thousands of likes. It also found that extremists sometimes used Facebook tools to curate their own media. That means their images were completed unnoticed.
"The whole infrastructure is fundamentally flawed," said expert Hany Farid of UC Berkeley digital forensics. The more pressing challenge is the "little appetite to fix it." Facebook and other social media networks are pushing away from being responsible for materials on their platform because that will upon up "a whole can of worms"

Over 200m internet users wave goodbye to 140-character limits
Sean Keach, January 20, 2016 3:46 pm GMT
Micro-blogging services like Twitter and Weibo have long enforced 140-character limits. Until now…
China's most popular micro-blogging platform has finally abandoned character limits.
Sina Weibo had previously adhered to a 140-character cap for individual posts – just like Twitter – but scrapped the rule today.
The change doesn't actually go live until January 28 – just over a week away.
According to China's official news agency Xinhua, only "senior users" will be able to post lengthy messages initially. However, all users will gain access to the feature before the end of February.
At present, Sina Weibo has upwards of 200 million users, marking it as one of the most popular social networks on the planet.
It's still less than Twitter however, which boasts upwards of 300 million monthly active users.
Some speculate that Twitter may be about to follow Weibo's suit by abandoning character limits.
Earlier this month, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey wrote: "We didn't start Twitter with a 140-character restriction. We added that early on to fit into a single SMS message."
Sina Weibo is China's largest microblogging service

He continued: "It's become a beautiful constraint…[but] we've spent a lot of time observing what people are doing on Twitter, and we see them taking screenshots of text and tweeting it."
"What if that…was actually text? Text that could be searched, text that could be highlighted – that's more utility and power," he added.
Do you think Twitter should scrap its 140-character post limit? Let us know in the comments.

Russian Lawmakers Aim at Foreign Cars, Films and Schooling in Patriotic Purge
By Ellen Barry
MOSCOW — The members of Russia's lower house of Parliament — which last year passed so many harsh new laws with so little debate that commentators compared it to a "rabid printer" — returned to work last week as the standard-bearers for President Vladimir V. Putin's brand of patriotism.
Having captured the world's attention in December by banning all adoptions of Russian children by American families, members of Parliament have dreamed up a variety of further proposals to purge Russian politics and civic life of foreign influences.
Among them: A full ban on all foreign adoption. A requirement that the children of Russian officials return directly to Russia after studying abroad, lest their parent lose his or her post. A requirement that officials' children be barred from studying abroad altogether. A requirement that movie theaters screen Russian-made films no less than 20 percent of the time, or face fines as high as 400,000 rubles, or about $13,000.
One group of legislators is working on a bill that would prevent anyone with foreign citizenship, including Russians, from criticizing the government on television. One proposal would ban the use of foreign driver's licenses, another would require officials to drive Russian-made cars. One deputy has recommended strictly limiting marriages between Russian officials and foreigners, at least those from states that were not formerly Soviet.
Many of these ideas sound eccentric, in a capital city whose elite are well-traveled and integrated into the West, and are very unlikely to advance and become law. But they certainly will not hurt anyone's career in the current political environment.
"You know, there is a principle in questions of patriotism or protecting the interests of the country, as the authorities see it, that it's better to overdo it than to show weakness," said Aleksei V. Makarkin, an analyst at the Center for Political Technologies in Moscow. "If you try too hard, and come up with some exotic, scandalous draft law, you are in any case one of us. Maybe you are too emotional — you're a patriot."
Since Mr. Putin's inauguration, the Duma, the lower house of Parliament, has hurriedly passed a series of initiatives tightening the state's control over dissent and political activism: it has steeply increased fines for Russians who take part in unauthorized protests; required nonprofit organizations to register as "foreign agents" if they receive money from overseas; reinstated criminal penalties for slander; and vastly expanded the definition of treason to include assisting international organizations.
When the adoption ban passed, cutting off all adoptions of Russian children by Americans, only four deputies out of 406 voted against it, with 400 voting for it and two abstaining. Grigory A. Yavlinsky, the founder of the liberal party Yabloko, described the vote on his blog as "a unanimous pseudo-patriotic frenzy."
Over the January break, opposition activists began focusing efforts on the Duma, hoping that outrage over the adoption ban would re-energize flagging protests. Moscow City Hall has approved a Sunday demonstration targeting lawmakers, called "the march of scoundrels." The newspaper Novaya Gazeta on Thursday announced that it had gathered 100,000 signatures in favor of dissolving the Duma, enough to require an official review.
"Let them come up with a draft law, for example, 'on the right of a citizens of the Russian Federation to raise the question of lack of confidence toward the state Duma,' " reads the petition. "It is necessary to make this amendment to the Russian Constitution: 'The people should have the right to recall deputies from their warm seats if they act contrary to its will,' " the petition reads, in part.

Yevgeny N. Minchenko, director of the International Institute for Political Expertise, said the major pieces of legislation that passed through the Duma last year were produced by staff members in Mr. Putin's administration. Last year, he said, demonstrated that the Parliament serves as an "instrument" of the Kremlin.
"Unfortunately, in my view, there is a dangerous trend that practically the only way to consolidate all the parliamentary factions is with various kinds of anti-Western initiatives," Mr. Minchenko said.
Mr. Putin has made patriotism a central theme of his third presidential term, and Yevgeny A. Fyodorov, a United Russia deputy, said strengthening Russia's sovereignty is now the Duma's "most important direction."
Mr. Fyodorov said he would like to see the Constitution amended to allow for a national ideology, something that is now explicitly excluded in the text, but concedes that this will take time. He said the adoption ban — or, as he called it, "the ban on the export of children" — signaled the beginning of a major effort to "strengthen Russia's sovereignty" by purging foreign influences on civic life.
"You know the saying — we saddle up slowly, but we ride fast," he said. "The U-turn has just begun, and the most radical steps, including the ones connected to the Constitution, will take place in three or four years."
Mr. Fyodorov, whose proposal to bar government officials from keeping property overseas has won some support in the Kremlin, said any permanent ties between government officials and foreign countries — a child residing abroad, or a spouse with property outside Russia — constitute a "factor of distrust" that, according to legislation passed last year, can now serve as grounds for an official's dismissal. The long-term task, he said, "is to gradually reformat the elite to fit the national mood."
"The existence of a strong connection between an official and foreign countries — I formulate this broadly — is a factor of distrust," Mr. Fyodorov said.
This mission is complicated by the fact that Moscow's ruling class is, in fact, already deeply integrated into Western Europe. One leader of the legislative campaign, a United Russia deputy, Sergei Zheleznyak, was pilloried by a blogger, Aleksei Navalny, because his daughters study at exclusive institutions in Switzerland and Britain. Nevertheless, the Kremlin has determined that officials' foreign holdings must be brought under control, because they are alienating the public, said Sergei A. Markov, a political analyst who served as a legislator with United Russia until last year.
"The population considers the elite to be half-foreign," he said. "Their property is abroad, their houses are abroad, their wives are abroad, their children are abroad. Even Russian industrialists work through offshore companies. Why do these people run Russia, they say."
The proposals are bound to raise eyebrows in the West, but they are actually driven by domestic politics, analysts said. Mr. Minchenko noted that even as anti-American sentiment surged in the Duma this fall, Mr. Putin has avoided damaging steps like closing the NATO transit point in Ulyanovsk. He called the legislative campaign "carefully dosed" to avoid permanently hurting bilateral relations.
His colleague, Mr. Makarkin, was less sanguine.
"Those initiatives which yesterday seemed exotic could become reality tomorrow; we saw this happen last year," he said. "The most important thing is, there are practically no limitations."

Q: How to hide a folder in C:\Program Files without turning off .exe program in it? In C:\Program Files folder there are multiple folders containing drivers and .exe files for computer programs. I would like to know whether it is possible to hide a folder (let's say Discord) and all of its content without forcing the .exe program to be turned off (Discord.exe can still be opened).
I've tied multiple folder locking systems, such as Wise Folder Hider to name a few, that perfectly hides and hinders folder location entirely but it also kills the program itself.
I look forward to any insights into this issue and I hope it is a solvable one.
A: Make the folder as hidden in folder properties as shown below
And then disable "hidden items" checkbox in view tab as shown below:
A: Simple idea: Rename FocusMe.exe that you intend hiding to the
same name as that of some program that you would be afraid to terminate.
An example is csrss.exe, which is an essential part of Windows.
If you kill the wrong csrss.exe, Windows will shut down immediately.
Another example is svchost.exe which hosts the Windows system services.
Still another example is whatever program you are using the most
during the day.
This can be your browser, development tool, or whatever.

Smilodon brutalis is a solitary predator, generally found in cold, lightly wooded areas. The island's mountains are the perfect habitat, as the mammal's fur keeps it safe from the bitter temperature. While its huge fangs are excellent for delivering deathblows, the creature's claws can be just as deadly.
While not as fast as Raptors, there's no denying the Sabertooth's increased resilience and power. In addition, well-trained Sabertooth can be taught to use their claws to flay corpses. This may sound morbid, but it is among the best ways to quickly gather large quantities of hide from the giant beasts of the island.

170-297-7625 Meal and snack schedule.
170-297-7500 Food and milk must meet USDA guidelines.
170-297-7515 Menus and dietary restrictions.
170-297-7525 Parent or guardian-provided food.
Just how much food do children need? According to the regulations food must be offered about every 2 ½ to 3 hours. Snacks or breakfast must be served upon arriving at morning care, and snacks need to be served to children after school. Children in care for five hours need to be served breakfast or lunch and a snack at the minimum. Basically, if children are hungry, feed them. Children do have small stomachs so they need small amounts of food often. A general rule of thumb is one tablespoon per year of age as a serving size.
Children need a variety of foods from each of the food groups. Children should be offered a wide variety of fresh, frozen or canned fruits (canned in 100% juice or water) and vegetables; nonfat or 1% milk; whole grains (100% whole wheat breads, brown rice); and lower fat protein foods (lean beef or chicken, beans).
Limit or do not serve high fat processed meats (hot dogs, corn dogs, sausages) and pre-fried or fried and then baked meats and potatoes (chicken nuggets, fish sticks, French fries, tater tots). Also limit sweets (candy, cake, cupcake, cookies); sweet grains/breads (pop tarts, donuts, muffins, sugary cereals) and sweetened beverages. Children should have access to water throughout the day as needed.
Snack and mealtimes are social times-- make sure you sit down and eat with children. Serve family style, so that each child can serve himself to satisfy his hunger. This also gives the children opportunities to practice motor and social skills, to engage in conversation, and to have plenty of time to enjoy each other around the table.
Childhood obesity is a growing concern around the country. One in six children is overweight or obese by age six. What is your role in helping children in your care establish healthy eating habits? Many resources are available to you.
Check out the great ideas from the "Let's Move Child Care" website.

CD/DVD Review: The Rolling Stones "No Security San Jose '99"
The Rolling Stones are back with another title in their long running "From The Vault" series.
This time out the band has released a stellar show recorded in San Jose, CA from 1999 during their "No Security" tour. This concert is of particular importance as it marks the first time the band had performed LIVE in San Jose since 1965.
The 34 years that passed between shows had not slowed the band down one bit as they plowed through a 20 song set list with the power and fury that has made them the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world.
Eagle Rock Entertainment has once again done a superb job – the sound and picture are of the highest caliber and you will feel like you are on stage with the band. "No Security. San Jose '99" is hands down one of the best live concerts videos the band has ever released and is a must for any music fan.

Having a solid mountain bike tire puts forward every rider with full of confidence to conquer the muddy or rough terrains. But mounting a pair of non-solid or inappropriate tires turn the journey into danger. Because the tires have a bigger responsibility to assist the rider to overcome those uneven routes. The summary of mounting the quality tires means better traction and stability over the rocks, gravels, sands, holes and dirts. That's why you must equip the wheels with high performing as if you can be a real winner end of the day with avoiding the risk of being injured.
As usual, while you continuously hit the obstacles the tires intermediately absorb the basic portion of bumps. Furthermore, if you want well-maintained cornering or aggressively climbing or descending, of course you have to set up the tires that have strong knobs and good cornering ability. So to keep these things in your area, we researched to mark out the five best mountain bike tires that flawlessly fits to the bike to clearly achieve the dream of being a successful off road rider.
So here are five of the best mountain bike tires depending on the performance & our research.
The tubeless Maxxis Minion DHR creates a good traction in contact when you aggressively ride on the loose, muddy or hard surfaces. Its ramped knob design improves the gripping to work efficiently on climbing and any immediate brake while the side knobs also provide an extreme protection for cornering. The Maxxis DHR is also designed with silkworm protection that enhances the longevity and reduces the chances of being punctured.
The tires can be fitted on your both wheelset and you can do any type of aggressive mountain biking with such an especially designed tread based tire.
This cross country specialist has parallelogram designed center knobs that conducts the aggressive cross country ride and provide a great support for any immense braking. Such a center knob design also ensures the minimal rolling when you overcome the obstacles on rough routes. The wide lug space in the knobs creates sufficient traction on the muddy surfaces. Additionally, you can adjust the tire on the front or rear wheels that mean you can get the same benefits from your both wheels.
The Maxxis Advantage also has raised knobs in the corner to keep the cornering controlled. Overall you can expect the full benefits that you need to ride miles of rough paths.
The Continental Mountain King II is another great addition to the mountain bike tires. This lightweight tire is specially designed for biking sports. It has been made out black chili rubber that is soft and enough protective for maneuvering any trail. To provide the optimum cornering power it has also the knobs in the corner. Furthermore, such a great design with lug spaced in the knobs also ensure the optimum traction in wet condition.
The tire can be available in two different sizes to easily adjust with two different wheel size. Its versatility for trail riding, cross country and alpine tourist allow you to take the benefit to use it for multi purpose.
This is another star of the tires from the Maxxis that offers something like the same features of Maxxis Advantage. It uses EXO casing for extra durability and has the raised side knobs for excellent cornering on the rough surface. The Maxxis Ardent is also similarly designed with ramped center knobs for the optimum traction and minimum rolling resistance. It has the tread with dual compound technology that maximizes the speed with safely cornering.
It also tubeless, so you can avoid the hesitation about getting punctured for most cases. Maxxis Ardent easily fits onto the rims for foldable bead and its 2.25" wide with hard center knobs boost the speed for the cross country ride.
This is the excellent version of two combined models of Kenda that has been built up for boosting the speed and cornering. The excellent dual tread compound ensuring the incredible gripping and traction during the climbing and cornering. It's almost great for all terrain ride and you can get it to the bike to keep the heroic roll through any condition of the terrains. Its lightweight construction with a single ply casing also enough for optimal speed and durability.
This Slant Six also compatible with the fluid tubeless conversion system and can fit with front or rear wheel.
Every mountain biker wants the tire that offers fast riding, maximum gripping & traction with low rolling resistance. So, when you want to bring these advantages into your ride of course you have to pick out such a tire that really works as you want. But having the lack of proper knowledge would be something like you are about to choose the poor stuff. That's why you should look up the things that we described here. It might be helpful to get some clear ideas to fix the right tire for the mountain bike you use.
Before going for everything at first you have to fix the certain size that confirmly fits to the mountain bike wheelset. Most of the common sizes are likely 26", 27.5" and 29". If you have any hesitation about the wheel size, you can check the manual instructions.
The width of wheel size also affects the speed, rolling resistance & traction. The wider tire can easily overcome the loose surfaces and corner more safely, but rolling slowly while the tire with less width can move faster, but as much as not efficient to overcome the mud or loose surfaces like a wider tire. So, it quietly depends on your riding style and what the size your bike accepts.
Mostly the tire uses softer or harder compounds to be made up, but in recent periods some manufacturers build up the tire with dual compounds. That means they use harder rubber for center knobs and softer rubber for side knobs while the center knobs boost up the speed and the side knobs create excellent grip on cornering.
On the other hand the tire with softer compounds create great gripping, but it makes the roll slower and the tire with harder compounds make the roll faster but provides less gripping in contact with the surface.
The tread pattern has a great importance to ride onto the loose or muddy surfaces. The enough spaces in the knobs can perfectly bite into the muds for an excellent traction while it also easily sheds them. But having too much space in the tread pattern can increase the rolling resistance. So you have to ensure the tire designed with proper spaces in the knobs with low rolling resistance capability.
Most of the tires we recommended here are tubeless. Using the tubeless tires is a recent trend as it decreases the chances of puncturing and brings the hassle free adjustment in some cases. You would require the additional sealant liquid to create a coat in the tire that prevents the puncture.
Depending on their popularities & the abilities to overcome any toughest condition we wrote for the five best mountain bike tires. No doubt the manufacturers of them have used high quality materials & excellently designed tread pattern to create superb traction anywhere of the terrain. So you can confidently use them for your off road biking activities.

Avian Biography (Official) (2002 - 2005) Guitarist Yan Leviathan, who had been in several local bands over the years, but never anything remotely serious, formed Avian (pronounced A-VEE-YEN) in November of 2002 after being inspired by a metal festival that featured performances by Gamma Ray, Blind Guardian, Edguy, and a number of other fantastic bands. Feeling extremely inspired, on the flight back home, Yan decided to concentrate all of his attention

creating free water turbine technology
democratizing hydropower in all sectors and countries
Founded in 2015 by five engineering students at the University of Grenoble, Hydr'Open is a French cooperative with the aim of developing and distributing micro hydraulic turbine technology. More specifically, the team is building their vision through a Banki-type turbine that can be shipped around the world to as many people as possible without access to electricity. Hydr'Open aims to design and manufacture its products using the fewest media and materials possible, while producing enough hydraulic energy to power a light bulb, radiator or refrigerator.
'We started this project to provide a clean solution to problems of access to energy, which would improve the problems of access to education through lighting in schools and homes, health, development of economic activities and food security through electrical systems. On the other hand, this project also aims to reach populations that already have access to electricity but want to participate in the energy transition.,' write the association.

hydr'open demonstrates the potential of microhydraulics
Growing energy needs, climate change, rising fossil fuel prices and loss of confidence in nuclear energy are reasons that precipitated the rise of renewable energy in the 21st century. In recent years especially, there has been an increase in two modes of production: solar and wind.
Microhydraulics, the technology behind the Hydr'Open, did not experience the same evolution during this period. 'The potential of microhydraulics in France is very little explored: among other things, between 50,000 and 100,000 old hydraulic sites could lend themselves to microhydroelectricity, therefore a powerful development. In other countries, the hydraulic potential is great, especially in a large part of the African continent. […] where the need for electricity and hydraulic potential overlap,' continues the team.
Technically, the Hydr'Open turbine would operate in rural areas without access to electricity, close to water sources with flows of a few hundred liters per second. Regardless of the location, the goal is to produce 50kW of power with a turbine.
Hydr'Open was founded by students from Grenoble
In 2021 and 2022, the cooperative tested its ideas in three collaborations: The Banki Demonstrator (2022) and transmission test bench for a car alternator (2021), both carried out with first-year students at Grenoble INP, and finally the Khum'eau Mission (2022) in Uzbekistan. The latter was organized together with Deux Gouttes d'eau (2GE), environmental researcher Thibault Péan and Grenoble graduate Léo Desmulliez.

Q: Camel route - get JMSMessageId after sent How can I get JMSMessageID in camel route producer (with Spring context),
JMSMessageID needs to be generated by MQ server, like it works with native JMS.
In the camel's documentation
JMSMessageID is in section "consumer",
"Camel adds the following JMS properties to the In message headers when it receives a JMS message",
but I need it from producer side after send.
I can's use tmpReply queue with camel's InOut.
I suppose, I need to use MessagePostProcessor, or MessageSentCallback, but I don't know how.
Thanks a lot!
A: This works for me:
from("someRoute")
.to("jms://OUTPUT.QUEUE?includeSentJMSMessageID")
.log("JMSMessageID = ${header.JMSMessageID}");

Thorold Dickinson's film The Queen of Spades opens nationwide on Boxing Day with a special introduction by acclaimed director Martin Scorsese.
The special digital re-issue of the classic supernatural drama, which has not been seen in British cinemas since its original release in 1949, will open on Boxing Day at key London sites as well as regional art-houses across the country. The film will also be available in 2010 on DVD for the first time (alongside Dickinson classics: Secret People & High Command).
Dickinson was a respected figure of British cinema from the late 1930s up to the 1950s and helped to found UCL's groundbreaking film department at the Slade School, where he became Britain's first Professor of Film Studies in 1967.
Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese, one of the film's most vociferous supporters, will provide a brief introduction before each screening. Professor Philip Horne and Dr Peter Swaab (UCL English) who co-authored the book Thorold Dickinson: A World of Film will also present the film at a selection of the screenings in London.
Set in 1806 Imperial Russia, the film sees St Petersburg in the grip of gambling fever. No card strikes more fear in to the hearts of the soldiers than the evil Queen of Spades. Captain Herman Suvorin (Anton Walbrook) is a lowly German engineer: an outsider obsessed with making his fortune whose peculiar manner isolates him from the revelries of the other bawdy soldiers. He is intrigued, though, by soldiers' gossip that tells of the legend of an ancient countess (Dame Edith Evans), who supposedly sold her soul to the devil years before in exchange for the secret of success at the card game de jour: Faro.
The Queen of Spades was made at a small studio in Welwyn Garden City and is based on the short story by Alexander Pushkin. The film boasts memorable performances from Anton Walbrook (The Red Shoes) as the soldier driven insane by his lust for success and fortune and Dame Edith Evans (The Importance of Being Earnest, Tom Jones, Scrooge) as the bitter and twisted old countess who gave away her soul for a short-lived salvation.
For further information about screening times please check with your local venue.
Thorold Dickinson (1903-1984), established the first full university film studies course at the Slade School of Fine Art. Dickinson was a respected figure of British cinema from the late 1930s up to the 1950s, but in an extraordinary second career he helped to found UCL's film department at the Slade School 1967 becoming Britain's first Professor of Film Studies.
One of Dickinson's biggest fans is writer and director Martin Scorsese, who sees an un-British flair in his films, with their "strong sense of sexuality and desire, of warring passions and impulses within people, of love turning bad". In an interview with Professor Horne, Scorsese said: "Dickinson's never afraid to push the emotion in a scene, and that's rare in British filmmaking."
