BkiUfLc5qhLBr1LtF1Qz | The next time that you accidentally smear some avocado on your face while eating a sandwich, you might as well just leave it there and call it a face mask.
When it comes to food, we tend to aim it towards our mouths. It's a delicious way of obtaining nutrients, but applying food directly to external areas of our bodies can act as an intensive beautifying treatment.
Creating beauty products out of the natural nutrients and textures that can be found in one's kitchen is incredibly beneficial. Aside from being significantly less expensive than most store bought products, it also lacks the mysterious chemicals that make me wonder if I should be using something to clean my face or my toilet bowl.
Stacy Malkan, author of "Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry, " said, "Research has shown that many conventional personal-care products contain chemicals of concern that can disrupt your hormones, have been linked to cancer, cause allergies or can damage your skin" according to an article by Washington Post.
My way of avoiding the hazardous chemicals that are hidden in products is to gain control over what I put on my body by creating beauty products in my own kitchen out of ingredients that are so natural that I could eat them.
If you are looking to exfoliate your lips while making them taste delicious, this is your ticket.
All products that you apply to your lips end up inside of your body, which is why lip products are in no way something to take risks with. This lip scrub is a safe way to remove dead skin cells from your lips, and makes them incredibly sweet and soft. After about three uses, it is likely that the streets will be lined with the bodies of men who fought each other for an opportunity to kiss you.
Mix all of these ingredients together in a bowl until the sugar sticks together. Pack the grainy mixture into your container. Apply to your lips using a finger and rub it around gently in order to exfoliate.
Olive oil removes eye makeup gently and effectively.
There are many products dedicated to gently removing eye makeup, but none have a briefer ingredients list than mine. Makeup wipes leave harmful residue on skin according to an article by Huffington Post. I can also confirm from personal experience that many other treatments such as using lotion burns and irritates eyes.
Put a drop of olive oil on a cotton ball and gently rub it around your eye. I have gotten it in my eye in the past, and I am pleased to say that it didn't hurt at all. Do not use olive oil to remove makeup from your entire face unless you are prepared to wash it with a gentle facial soap afterwards to prevent oiliness.
Once this lumpy green goop is rinsed off, skin is left beautifully smooth.
As previously mentioned, you can play off your less than lady like sandwich eating skills as incredibly informed skincare skills by claiming that any avocado that is smudged on your face is a face mask. This face mask is effective in a few ways. For one, it is incredible at reminding you to love your skin because it is highly unlikely that your skin is uglier than this clumpy green goop. Also, each of these ingredients has its own beneficial properties that allows the mixture to cleanse, soothe, and moisturize your skin.
Mash all of the ingredients together as smoothly as possible. Unless you put it in a blender, it will maintain its lovely oatmeal lumps. Spread it across your face as evenly as possible, and let it sit for 20 minutes. If you really want to go for the green monster look, accessories by placing some cucumbers over your eyes to reduce their puffiness.
Mashed bananas make a surprisingly fabulous moisturizer.
Do you have crackly elbows? Chalky legs? Or do you think that your hands may be so dry that have begun to form scales? Mash a banana as smoothly as possible, apply it to the dry area, and let it sit for about 25 minutes. Rinse it off with water and gently dry the area with a towel. That part of your body should now feel as soft as the inside of your forearm.
This hair mask is a natural way to strengthen and soften hair.
The idea of putting eggs in your hair seems ridiculous until after it has been rinsed out. They nutrients found in egg yolks both strengthen and condition hair, and the olive oil component of this mixture also acts as a conditioner. The milk also helps strengthen hair.
Whisk all three ingredients in a bowl until they combined smoothly. Carefully incorporate it into damp hair while standing in a shower in order to prevent your floor from being covered in uncooked omelet goop. Massage into your hair and then let it sit for 15 minutes. Rinse the mixture out and follow with shampoo and conditioner. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUe4DxK7Tt6AlxFaZ4 | Amongst probably the most typical electrical wiring queries is on how to wire a switch. Though working with switches in the home is kind of simple, wiring one might not be that quick for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. You will discover several types of switches, but for this instance, let's say you will be installing a single-pole toggle switch, a really common switch (as well as most basic).
There are actually three hues of wires in the standard single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and join them within the terminal screws - a person on prime and also the other on the base screw in the change. The white wire serves to be a resource of uninterrupted power which is generally linked to your light-weight coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the inexperienced wire into the ground screw of one's swap.
These techniques would normally be adequate to make an average swap get the job done with out a trouble. On the other hand, for those who usually are not self-assured that you choose to can execute the task thoroughly and properly you superior enable the professionals do it alternatively. Following all, there is certainly a reason why this endeavor is one of the most commonly encountered electrical wiring questions asked by the majority of people.
For a few purpose, tips on how to wire a ceiling fan is usually certainly one of one of the most common electrical wiring questions. To simplify this job, you can utilize one change for any single ceiling fan. To wire the admirer, it is really simply a make any difference of connecting the black wire of the ceiling fan for the black wire of the change. If there is a light, the blue wire really should be connected to the black wire from the switch also.
There are motives why they are probably the most frequently questioned electrical wiring issues. One, numerous consider it is simple to perform, and two, these are definitely the frequent electrical duties at home. But then you definitely mustn't set your security in danger as part of your target to save cash. The stakes could even be a great deal better should you try and lower your expenses and do an electrical wiring occupation with out adequate knowledge or practical experience. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUeBw4eIOjReIV-aoA | I thought that this book was absolutely fantastic! I have not been so mesmerized by a book in a long time. This book was incredibly bloody, incredibly twisted, and just absolutely awesome. I realize that I almost missed out on this book. I didn't even take a second look at this title when it was on NetGalley. When I noticed a couple of great reviews on Goodreads, I put my name on the list at the local library because I am always ready for a great book. If I had only known how good this one was going to be, I doubt that I would have waited nearly as patiently. This is the story of Micheal and his family, the Morrows. This family is not your average family. Not at all. This family is a group of twisted sick people. The kind of people that you hope to never cross paths with during your lifetime. They live in a secluded house where it is easier to hide some of their hobbies from the general population. Micheal seems like a rather nice guy....all things considered. Micheal spends the majority of his time with his brother, Reb. I really can't think of anything nice to say about Reb. He really has no redeeming qualities that I can think of. His sister, Misty, is really just trying to get through each day. Wade, the father, is quiet and really seems to be taking orders most of the time. Momma is unpredictable and frightening. This book grabbed me on the first page...literally page 1! I found this story very hard to put down. There was a section where I wanted it to be just a little bloodier but I kept turning the pages and my wishes were granted. I was enjoying this nice bloody story when things took an unexpected twist. This story actually took several turns that I did not see coming. The way that the story ended was mind boggling. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys horror. There is a lot of blood and violence in this one so it may not be the perfect book for everyone but I found it to be a much welcome surprise. This is the first book by Ania Ahlborn that I have read but I have already purchased a couple of additional titles that I hope to read soon.
I received this book from the Publisher via NetGalley.com in exchange for a honest review. Brother is about a boy named Micheal who is forcefully adopted into a family that isn't normal by all means. His family is into stalking and killing young girls until one day when Michael's older brother Ray or Rebel decides to change that up by stopping by a record store and that's when he meets Alice. Alice is someone who he can see running away with to get away from his adopted family but Rebel has a different plan in mind that will send Michael on a journey to discover who he really is and what he has done to his real family. This is the first horror book I read and it had me on my toes wandering what is gonna happen next. I didn't see the shocking twist at the end but the way the book ended was perfect for all that happened. If you are into horror books, I would totally recommend this book! Thank You to Ania Ahlborn for writing a spine tingling book that had me on my toes the entire time!
If this is the genre you enjoy, buy and read this book. Great torture-driven story.
It was very difficult to put this book down and the end had an interesting twist to it.
Excellent. I will read more from ania ahlborn. This was a hesitant pick, but so glad i chose this book. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUbeQ5qdmB6zNbh5Kb | Drink to me only…
'And then how I shall lie through centuries
And hear the blessed mutter of the Mass,
And see God made and eaten all day long
And feel the steady candle flame and taste
Good strong thick stupifying incense smoke!'
So Browning's bishop imagined lying in state in his tomb in St Praxed's Church – his nephews ('sons mine'!) rejoicing in their legacies rather than grieving his demise.
Truly the basilica of Santa Prassede is one of the jewels of Rome, erected by the hands of three Popes – Siricius (384-99) who built it; Hadrian I (772-95) who restored it; and Paschal I (817-24) who virtually built it afresh, and added the glorious chapel of S Zeno as the tomb of his mother Theodora.
The mosaics of the ninth-century apse (almost certainly also executed for Paschal) are one of the finest examples of the Byzantine style of in Rome. S Prassede, it seems, was part of a Papal response to the 're-establishment' of the Empire in the West. The Popes – and Paschal in particular – were seeking to re-affirm the authority of the Holy See in a world where Caesaro-Papalism seemed to be the dominant political ideology. The result is a triumphal arch of glittering colour at the heart of which the martyred Apostles Peter and Paul present the martyred sisters Pudenzia and Prassede to the assembled worshippers. To one side, in the modest square halo of one not yet sainted, stands Paschal himself, holding a model of the restored church.
But S Prassede boasts other treasures; an early funerary bust by Bernini; a fine monument by Arnolfo di Cambio; four sculptured sarcophagi containing the remains of the 2,300 martyrs brought by Paschal from the catacombs to keep his mother company; and the column of the flagellation of the Lord, brought from Constantinople in the thirteenth century by the eponymous legate Giovanni Colonna.
All these things, however, are as nothing beside the one feature which now draws the Sisters from across the globe to this place of feminist pilgrimage. They come to gaze, not on the relics of the sister martyrs Pudenzia and Prassede, but upon a single talismanic word in blue tesserae above the head of the mosaic portrait of Theodora. The word, of course, is 'episcopa'. Here, claimed Joan Morris, the pioneer Roman Catholic feminist, is evidence of a woman bishop in the ninth century – and the mother of a Pope to boot!
All this is doubly tragic. Tragic because the history of SS Pudenzia and Prassede is truly one of the glories of Christian Rome; tragic because, in search for role models, modern feminism clearly prefers the fictitious to the actual.
The sisters Prassede and Pudenzia maintained two of those 'safe houses' (the 'tituli') upon which the apostles relied. They are a direct link with those women in the Pauline letters in whose homes the church met. And their respective churches in Rome still occupy the very sites of their ministry. They are tangible and actual links with the holy women who preserved and nurtured the faith. The notion, on the other hand, of a ninth-century female bishop (the mother of a Pope!) is patently absurd to anyone who takes the trouble to think about it for a moment. The truth is movingly different.
Theodora, whose portrait Paschal placed in the chapel which he had created for her mortal remains, was no bishop. She was, Paschal would probably have said, more important than any bishop. The Pope revered his mother, and knew that it was from her that he had first learned the faith. She had been to him what Pudenzia and Prassede were to the Roman Church; so he buried her with them, and proudly showed, by the words above her portrait, that she was the mother of the city's bishop, the successor of the Apostles.
How sad that modern feminists, forbidden by their ideology to celebrate the glorious vocation of real Christian women, have adopted instead the implausible fiction of Bishop Theodora. And how typical that they have turned the venerable mother of Pope Paschal I into a cocktail.
Let WATCH (Women and the Church) (London) explain:
'At London WATCH events recently we have been serving a drink we call 'Theodora'. As it seems to be popular, I would like to pass on the recipe, and also say how it got its name. It is a very simple mixture of 50% sparkling wine and 50% guava juice, mixed in the glass, not beforehand. We get the guava juice from Sainsbury's (£1.09 a carton), and the wine is Sainsbury's Australian Sparkling Wine Brut (£4.99 a bottle, 20% off for six.) The resulting mixture is similar to the Venetian Bellini, but has more body. It is purplish in colour, quite episcopal, in fact. In the church of Santa Prassede in Rome (Browning's Saint Praxed's) there is a ninth-century mosaic in the chapel of S Zeno which has a mosaic inscription 'Theodora Episcopa'. The Roman authorities are at pains to say that this does not mean that Theodora was a bishop, though one could be forgiven for thinking that this is the ordinary meaning of the words. Theodora was mother of Paschal I (Pope 817–824), who had the chapel built as her mausoleum and exquisitely decorated in mosaic. We think that, whatever Theodora's actual status, here is inspiration for women bishops, and we drink to that prospect.'
Indeed! But now members of Forward in Faith need not be (alcoholically) backward in coming forward. New Directions offers the following drinks for universal (and decidedly inclusive) consumption, based on other no less fictional characters:
The Christina: one third white rum, two thirds sweet potato puree and a dash of grenadine.
The Lavinia: One third gin, one third vodka and one third pure imagination.
The Angela: Two measures of crème de menthe and half a pint of cream stout.
The drinks, of course, will all be of differing colours, and none of them purple* – but enjoy!
Geoffrey Kirk is Vicar of St. Stephen's, Lewisham, in the Diocese of Southwark.
* As a matter of fact I have tried the WATCH recipe, and rather predictably, it is not 'quite episcopal' but weakly pink – a colour, I suggest, that WATCH might be wise to avoid. The taste and appearance would be vastly improved, in my view, by a good shot of crème de cassis. An excellent selection is available from Robin Yapp, Mere, Wiltshire. With that robust addition I might even find myself serving the odd Theodora Mater (as I am sure we should call them) at 'A la Table du Curé'.

BkiUc1q6NNjgBtygfCnp | The Mosquito Coast (or Miskito Coast) is named for the region's Miskito Indians. While most of the Mosquito coastline belongs to Nicaragua, it also includes the lower east coast of Honduras. This small corner of Honduras is where I hung out for a couple of days.
I was in the jungle surrounding the Cangrejal River (Crab River). The Cangrejal River bisects two national parks: the Pico Bonito National Park and the Nombre de Dios National Park – and is absolutely beautiful!
MEET (Cool Meet Ups) – River-side Picnic. We spent a day tooling around the towns bordering the river. Around noon, we stopped off at the river's edge and picnicked on some large boulders within view of a small waterfall. The waterfall turned out to be a local shower for the town's young men, who — let's just say — put on quite a show. Two thumbs up for outdoor showers!
SEE (Must-see Sights) – Mountain Biking. Some friends and I spent a day mountain biking along the river's edge. The scenery was amazing – with mountain peaks popping through the clouds. And the locals were super friendly – shouting out "Adios" (local slang meaning "Hello / Goodbye") as we rode by. It was a great way to get out and explore the towns deep in the jungle. So picturesque!
SHOP (Gotta Have) – Women's Co-op. Across the river was a small women's co-op that provides job training (sewing) and accommodation for women seeking a refuge. To get there, you needed to haul yourself high above the river in a basket.
The basket could convey 2-4 individuals at a time and took quite a bit of muscle to work the pulley system. But the trek to meet the women was worth it! We all bought several colorful pillows, blankets, and pot holders as gifts. A very cool place to shop for a very cool cause!
ACTIVITY (Gotta Do) – Whitewater Rafting! I admit, I was being a bit of a snob. With only a few Class IV and Class V rapids, I wasn't sure the Cangrejal was gnarly enough for me. But I was wrong. It was an exciting ride!
The first day we did the bottom section of the river, basically getting our feet wet. It was a great day out on the river, surrounded by stunning scenery.
The second day, only my friend Kristin and I went out with the guide and rescue kayaks – and we had a blast! The top section of the river was amazing – tons of top-level rapids and plenty of heart-pounding rushes = FUN!
Although there was a point there when I saw my life pass before my eyes (and it's given me a few nightmares since). We were coming out of a rapid and heading for a rock overhang…I thought we were going to bounce off the wall, but we were going under the wall instead.
Our guide yelled "limbo" which I guess was a command to lean back on the raft, but that instruction didn't translate for me, and I leaned forward – with my skull clearing the rock overhang by inches = yikes! I looked back and even our guide looked a little scared on that one!
GIVE (Greatest Need) – Garuma.org. Garuma is a local nonprofit organization that teaches the youth of the Cangrejal River Valley all about eco-tourism, conservation and environmental education. The students train as trail guides, maintain the trails, and speak out on ecological issues. They also learn about sustainable land use through a budding agroforestry project. Most important, the students are becoming role models in their community and are leading local conservation efforts.
National Geographic en Espanol Subscription – I'm going to get them this!
You can donate these items or make a donation via Paypal on Garuma's web site.
ENJOY (Extra Fun) – Horseback Riding. Horseback riding was just one more great way to experience the river valley! We stopped off at a beautiful swimming spot gurgling with jade green waters. The horses mosey-ed along the trails and breeched a couple of small streams and pretty much stayed in control. All we had to do was sit back and enjoy the ride!
Interested in going to check out the Cangrejal? Write me and I'll give you a couple of suggestions on where to stay and all these fun activities! Adios!

BkiUdWc5qhLBP6tbpaSa | Q: How to deal with social login In my new web app I'm going to allow social login through Twitter (maybe), Facebook and Google and I'm in search of the best way to do it.
Actually I'm using Rails with Devise + Omniauth and this is the problem:
Should I ask the user to choose a password so that he can login without a social network?
Or maybe the user should be able to set a password if he want (for example when editing his account?)
The second way seems the best one but since Twitter doesn't provide user email and google doesn't provide an username I'll probably have to ask the user for username/email when he log in so in that case I may also ask for the password...
waht do you think?
A: Definately allow the user to add a password if they want so that they have the option to login without using a social network sign-in. If, for no other reason, that you are not reliant on an external party and not dead-in-the-water if their servers are down (or, even, if their government shuts off access to them).
Unless your app is something that integrates with and requires a social network, I'd recommend still providing a way to sign-up directly, without a social network involved. While social network authentication is convenient, a lot of people dont have google/facebook/twitter accounts (yes, its true), and others just arent big fans of the idea that they can be tracked in that manner.
A: If the application is public you may want to prefer single-sing-on approach. You should conceptually separate user profile information from the physical implementation. That is, you collect all the information the user can provide you and use the subset required to satisfy the logon requirements.
If your user decided that he/she does not want to select a social network, then you need to allow them the regular login with userid and password. I guess this site works this way.
A: Social Login integration is the best possible way to make your site social and to bring maximum possible traffic to your site.Most of the site owners integrate single sign on systems these days.I have also used one such system its LoginRadius,enabling social login via around 21 open id providers.

BkiUbVE4eIXgu2RlncHv | World-renowned Island outdoor education centre marks 60th anniversary
Strathcona Park Lodge book re-launch celebrates history of landmark wilderness centre
Oct. 6, 2019 6:00 a.m.
Strathcona Park Lodge and Outdoor Education Centre celebrates its 60th anniversary this year and part of the celebration is the re-launch of a history of the lodge.
Situated on Highway 28 halfway between Campbell River and Gold River, the 'Lodge,' as it is affectionately known, began as a cedar log building that floated across from one side of the lake to the other when Upper Campbell Lake was flooded during the 1958 construction of Strathcona Dam.
RELATED: Vancouver Island author tells the story of epic, treacherous maritime voyage
A year later, the building landed on the shore of property belonging to Wallace Baikie, that he then sold to his daughter Myrna and her husband Jim Boulding who intended to start a boy's camp.
The camp idea was abandoned in favour of tourism, but by the early 1970s, the Bouldings had reprised their idea of training in the outdoors. Influenced by such notable conservationists as Roderick Haig-Brown and George Clutesi, they began the long journey of establishing what was to become a world-renowned outdoor education centre.
In time to celebrate the lodge's 50th anniversary, Myrna wrote and produced a history of the lodge entitled Survival Strathcona Style, Off the Grid and On the Edge.
Now reprinted, with additional colour photos and a new cover, this account of the Bouldings' pioneering efforts to establish their business in rugged central Vancouver Island while continuing to work as teachers and raise five children, is as entertaining as it is informative.
Interspersed with anecdotes and personal photos from friends, family and staff who passed through the portal of the lodge, and letters and articles that highlight the challenges of developing an unlikely enterprise that survived a multitude of challenges, the lodge story is as unique as its intrepid author and her late husband.
Truly 'off the grid' and 'on the edge,' the lodge is now operated by Myrna's son Jamie and his wife Christine Clarke, and continues to spearhead environmental practices and operate as a green business in a splendid wilderness setting.
RELATED: Jason Momoa, Vancouver Island, co-star in new TV series 'See'
Myrna and local historian Catherine Gilbert are hosting a pictorial presentation about the lodge and an opportunity to see the view the new book on Saturday, Oct. 19 from 1 – 3 p.m. at the Campbell River Museum, 470 Island Hwy, Campbell River.

Bigg Boss 15: Devoleena Bhattacharjee breaks down as she feels judged by THIS contestant (Pic Credits: Colors TV/ YouTube)
Bigg Boss 15 is in its final few weeks and the drama and entertainment is at an all-time high. The popular television reality show is full of twists and turns in every episode and the latest was no different. In last night's Bigg Boss 15 episode, it was seen that Devoleena Bhattacharjee and Abhijeet Bichukale start talking, just a day after an ugly spat. Pratik Sehajpal, who is close to Devoleena, is confused by the latter's behaviour. As he questions her, she feels judged by him and breaks down in the washroom area.
For the uninitiated, Devoleena and Abhijeet have always had a topsy-turvy relationship full of ups and downs on Bigg Boss 15. The two started off as good friends and things slowly took a turn after Abhijeet asked Devoleena for a kiss on his cheeks during a task, which did not go down well with her. While they slowly started coming back to talking terms, Devoleena and Abhijeet had a massive fight yesterday as the actress felt betrayed by him in a task.
A day later, Devoleena and Abhijeet talk with each other yet again. When Pratik Sehapal sees Devoleena laughing at Abhijeet's comments, he questions her about her behaviour and says that it's quite confusing for him. On the other hand, Abhijeet requests Devoleena to wash his clothes. Devoleena is amused by his behaviour and asks him why he keeps on asking her to do his chores even after she lashes out at him time and again. Abhijeet replies that it's because she is straightforward and does not harbour any bad thoughts in her heart.
Devoleena goes to the washroom and breaks down. She tells Tejasswi that she feels Abhijeet does not have malice in his heart, and that except him, nobody understands him. She also tells Tejasswi that she feels judged by the one person (Pratik) who matters to her. Devoleena says that she does not want to justify her behaviour any more.

Atiku Reacts To Buhari's Claim He Is Not Cloned
By: chiduskyin GENERAL,News & politicsDecember 5, 2018 197 Views
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari's assurances that he was not cloned into Jubril Aminu Al-Sudani, a supposed impostor.
Atiku blamed the presidency for the international embarrassment the allegations of a purported impostor, Jubril Aminu Al-Sudani, acting as President Muhammadu Buhari, has caused the country.
He said the mystery and lack of transparency that dogged the President's health status and other issues surrounding his medical vacations in the UK gave room for the rumours and speculations making the rounds worldwide about the President's true identity.
Spokesman of the Presidential Campaign Council, Osita Chidoka, said this yesterday when he featured as guest on AIT's breakfast show, Kakaaki, in Abuja.
He said: "The rumours about him (Buhari) being cloned; about somebody replacing him can only arise because of the absence of information.
"The more fundamental issue goes back to the issues of transparency and information to country men.
"If our President goes into hospital for a surgery or treatment, it is the right thing for Nigerians to know what is wrong with our president. How long is he expected to be away?
"Nigerians were kept out of the loop (by the presidency). It was the same thing that happened to us with President Yar'Adua. He came back to the same situation.
"Nigerians reserve the right to know the status of our president even of our presidential candidate. We saw it in the US. Mrs Clinton had an issue, she had to come out clean. Trump had to come up with his letter showing what his doctor said about his health.
"Now, we have a situation where we don't know what was the issue? Who treated him? How much did it cost us? What was he doing in the hospital? Who paid for it? None of those information is available.
"It is a national security matter that our president was away for 100 days and we don't have information. I think it is something that maybe the National Assembly needs to legislate about since the President has refused to use their discretion."

BkiUdOA4uBhi1_IMia-t | Q: How can I resurrect a branch? I have a refactoring/cleanup branch cleanup where I clean up technical debt. After going through one cycle, I merge this branch back into master.
A few weeks later, I have the time to clean up some more and I wanted to resurrect the branch instead of creating a new one. So I pulled master and then moved the local branch pointer for cleanup to HEAD:
> git show HEAD
commit dd61...
> git branch -f cleanup dd61...
> git checkout cleanup
After this, I could pull and push and the history looked correct. But I had some subtle problems when trying to pull in the latest changes and do a rebase. My usual workflow to rebase the current branch is:
> git pull origin master
> git rebase master
But when I do it with the resurrected branch, then the git pull will already start a merge or maybe even a rebase even though I didn't specify --rebase.
My guess is that I should have moved the remote branch pointer as well. I did push cleanup after the checkout above but maybe that wasn't enough?
Can someone explain what is going on in my situation and how I can resurrect a shared (= was pushed to origin) branch correctly?
A: After you moved pointer to dd61 you should do push origin cleanup --force to move it on origin

BkiUbFDxK7FjYEB4TYET | The actress has lopped off her longer locks and traded them in for a short, stylish (and familiar) look.
Emilia Clarke has a brand new look, but the inspiration behind it is old — as in old-school Hollywood it couple.
The "Game of Thrones" star gave her fans and followers a preview of the drastically different 'do Thursday.
Behold her close-cropped blond pixie cut, complete with a cresting wave of bangs and a dose of '90s nostalgia.
"Me: I'm thinking when Gwyneth (Paltrow) and Brad (Pitt) had the same cut," she wrote in a caption alongside the reveal. She then added the mock reply from her stylist, "I got 'chu."
The year was 1997, and Brad Pitt, who'd yet to date first wife Jennifer Aniston or second wife Angelina Jolie, was engaged to his "Seven" co-star, Gwyneth Paltrow. The couple was apparently so smitten, they even wore their hair in identical styles.
It's a cut that looks just as good on Clarke today. But then again, we've yet to see a 'do that's a don't for her.
The 31-year-old is something of a chameleon when it comes to hair color and cuts, from the flowing platinum wig she put on for the small screen, to the various real-life looks she's sported on the red carpet over the years.
The woman behind Clarke's latest cut, hairstylist to the stars Jenny Cho, shared a video of how her latest transformation came about.
"You're a dream," she wrote of working with the change-loving actress. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

What an unexpectedly good day. The weather forecasts leading up to the walk certainly didn't suggest that we would experience such a true spring day. Yes, the wind was a bit draughty in some of the more exposed parts of the walk but it was also dead calm in some unexpected locations too, most notably the top of High Knowes. It was decidedly chilly when we visited the Shepherds Cairn and memorial commemorating the deaths of Jock Scott and Willie Middlemas in the snows of November 1962 so close to home and safety at nearby Ewertly Shank farm. Only half a mile away, on a much more exposed site, there was no wind and warm spring sunshine on our backs, extraordinary.
The morning's walk included the above location plus a walk over the moor, including spotting an unidentified reptile, into the Upper Breamish valley to visit Nellie Herron's memorial stone (there are different spellings of both names in different sources) that pre-dated the November 1962 tragedy by almost a century, this event taking place on December 3rd 1863. The stories of both incidents were told and parallels drawn concerning the sometimes harsh realities of living in the Cheviots. Morning coffee, or first sittings, was taken in the shelter of a beautifully constructed sheep stell in a sheltered spot overlooking a tributary of what eventually would become the Cobden Burn which flows into the River Breamish. Returning back across the moor to join the Salter's Road we had excellent views to the north towards Hartside Farm which was where Nellie Herron was returning to and where she lived with her farm worker husband. The views north towards Cunyan Crags, Dunmoor Hill, Hedgehope and Cheviot, still with its distinctive south-facing snow patch, were excellent. We heard first, and eventually were able to pick out, the yellow speck of the search and rescue helicopter from RAF Boulmer flying west south of the Border Ridge. We could also see the smoke from the moor burning appearing from several locations in the Cheviots and several miles to the south along the Simonside Ridge. The burning season will be over soon, it ends on 10th April.
Lunch (second sittings for some) was taken, very unusually for us, in the comfort of our cars as our not quite a figure-of-eight route passed close-by. A comfortable seat, out of the cool wind, but in the sun, with good views and a choice of radio channels or CD-ROMS i.e. not having to listen to someone who shall be nameless spout lots of hot air, an unexpected luxury! The ascent of Hogdon Law followed and was both uphill and into the wind. The shelter of the morning's session was appreciated at this point. The views opened up quickly with the increasing height and the protection of the summit cairn and shelter were enjoyed by all providing good views to the north, east and south. To the west we looked down into the eastern edge of the Kidland Forest where the clear-felling of recent months had changed the appearance of this extensive feature. The good bit came next being both downhill and downwind and we could see the cars waiting for us in the distance, motivation indeed.
Back at the cars there was one little extra on offer to complete the day. Adjacent to Castle Hill, an Iron Age hillfort (approximately 800 BC to 43AD) on the map is a "Lord of the Rings" type feature marked intriguingly as "The Grey Yade of Coppath." On the current OS 1:25,000 scale map there is no related symbol to indicate its location but on the older editions of the 1:25,000 blue or green Pathfinders it does indicate the location. The feature is actually a large isolated rock on the north side of the road. A "grey yade" is an old Borderers term for a grey mare or horse. The rock is a detached block of Cheviot andesite lava, pinkish in appearance due to the pink feldspar minerals it contains. In direct sunlight it definitely has a pink hue but in shade, its dense covering of greyish lichens fulfilled the grey yade description perfectly.
We hope that everyone enjoyed the day as much as we did; we were lucky with both the weather and the participants and hopefully a good time was had by all. We hope to see everyone again soon, even on our next walk along the highest part of Hadrian's Wall and including a visit to Vindolanda on Sunday 19th April – or is that too much of a good a thing? We hope not.

This is one of my favourite short walks around Rothbury area so I was really looking forward to it.
Everyone met in the car park nice and early and raring to go. Unusually the group was all ladies and most had not been on a Julie Nordic walk, although they had walked with Jane. I made a quick call to check on a walker who hadn't arrived to be told that they weren't coming along.
As we warmed up I explained that there were two routes at the beginning of the walk, one was up the steps (aka Jacob's ladder) and the other was up the slight incline on the road. Needless to say we headed up the incline of the road.
Off we set and everyone soon settled into their walking rhythm and into little groups. I mentioned that I was a stickler for technique and they would probably hear me say "elbows" quite a lot and that the terrain varied from road surface, tracks, grass and a few muddy/clarty areas. This did not phase anyone.
I was alternating between the groups of ladies to find out a little more about them and also to tweak their technique.
It was a really relaxed group and Sharon and I were just commenting that it was unusual for me not to have slipped on the mud when we noticed a slide mark in the mud. Everyone came to a stop and we found out it was Sandra who had slipped, in a very graceful almost balletic way, only one muddy knee though and no injury.
We continued on and were pleasantly surprised that it wasn't as muddy as we expected it to be.
Once we got to the road again we all looked at our poles and the tips were very muddy so that nobody wanted to put their paws back on. We did find an ingenious way of cleaning them without getting our hands dirty, all you need is a roadside with moss on and rub your pole tips into it and it cleans them up quite well. We were all feeling very pleased with ourselves.
We headed towards Rothbury, over Lady's Bridge and across the field to take us onto the riverside path and which point I mentioned that if anyone was interested at the end of the walk we could venture for tea and cake and the pace of the walk picked up even more.
At the car park we did our cool down and stretches and I told everyone about walks that were coming up even though everyone knew when they were. Those of us who were up for tea and cake headed into Rothbury.
Unfortunately Tomlinson's was full, two buses had come in. We headed to Harley's tea room where we were greeted with a basket of blue covers for our shoes (which were relatively clean by this point) unlike our poles tips. Lots of chatter around the table and around an hour later everyone headed home.
I hope to see everyone really soon and definitely at the Nordic Challenge Walks, although most will be on Jane's shorter walk.
Thank you for your company.

The second was to survive my commentary throughout the day while pretending to be interested. Thank you for allowing me to continue under that delusion. Did Ian and I mention that when we were doing our recce the previous Tuesday the weather was gorgeous, a really bright and warm spring day with a big wide beach and virtually nobody else around? The day of our walk was a bit different, grey and overcast, with a cool breeze off the sea and limited visibility – but at least we didn't get rained on.
Apart from the intrinsic interest of the Hauxley Nature Reserve itself the North Hide provided a convenient place to brief everyone about the day's walk, it wasn't very warm but at least we were out of the chilly breeze. We certainly felt its effects when we left the relative protection of the Reserve and emerged onto the beach to revel in the joys of peat beds, climate change and the site of the 2013 rescue dig – well I thought it was interesting anyway. Do have a look under "Rescued from the Sea" on the internet and you will see video of the animal and human footprints, including those of children which are thought to be circa 7,000 old. I know the regulars smile because I usually say this but do also have a look on Google Earth at the area of our walk, it will mean so much more having walked it.
The plan was to walk the length of the beach before high tide at noon stopping-off en-route at Druridge Bay Country Park for access to the facilities and hopefully the cafe would also be open too. Fortunately both facilities and cafe were open so that helped a lot and it was surprisingly warm there out of the wind. The spring migration of caravans was in full swing with the main car park being taken over by enthusiasts having spent the previous night there. Back onto the beach and heading south into the wind, surprisingly we didn't see any naturists at all fog-bathing near Chibburn Mouth which is a designated naturist beach. Here we went inland behind the dune line to follow the Northumberland Coast Path as far as Druridge Pools Nature Reserve. On this section it was easy to appreciate the characteristics of the now restored former opencast coalmining landscape, low-lying, gently undulating farmland with mining flashes used as nature reserves, there are six spread along the seven miles of Druridge Bay. Lunch was taken in a large bird hide overlooking the landscaped lake at Druridge Pools. Nothing exotic was seen just overflying curlews and some shelduck on the water. Compared to the large skeins of calling geese we saw on Tuesday last ...... no forget it.
The first stop after lunch was the remains of the Knights Hospitallers Low Chiburn Preceptory dating from 1313. It has had a chequered history following the Dissolution and being passed-on to the local Widderington family who added a dower house in about 1550 before it was attacked and burnt by the French in 1691 along with Widderington village. At least with the European Union we are not constantly at war with the French anymore – I think I've got that correct. As recently as the Second World War part of the original chapel structure was converted into a rudimentary "pillbox" as part of the defences of northern England. Following that opencasting in the area dug up everything in the area except the building site itself, even destroying the surrounding moat. The only remaining clue to this is the curve of the fence surrounding part of the site.
On the return route we had the advantage of the wind behind us and the impetus of a brisk walk back to the comfort of Druridge Bay Country Park for the facilities prior to tanking – up on more coffee. As it was now afternoon there were a lot more people on the beach and the tide was falling allowing us to walk the south end of the beach which was denied to us on the outgoing leg. Kite surfing was in full swing as was kite-boarding but hey obviously don't rise early for these activities. On reaching the cafe the spring migration of caravans had taken place, the car park was now empty of big white boxes on wheels. The final leg back to Low Hauxley was uneventful save for the overflight of RAF Boulmer's Seaking heading north back to base at less than a hundred feet. We could hear it before we could see it in the coastal mist even with its navigation and winching lights on, it very soon disappeared back into the murk. In April this year they are to be taken out of service as the RAF and RN Search and Rescue flights hand responsibility for the service over to HM Coastguard. Back at Low Hauxley the visitor centre was open with a copy of the recently published book on the aforementioned archaeology rescue dig on display.
Thanks to everyone who attended, we hope you enjoyed the day and hope to see you all again soon. Our next walk, on 22nd March, is in the Cheviots starting from Alnham and visiting the Shepherd's Cairns on the moor near Ewertly Shank Farm and topping-out on Hogdon Law one of the best, easiest and underrated value-for-effort viewpoints in Northumberland. Come and find out about the mysteriously named Grey Yade of Coppath which sounds like it should be in a Harry Potter book.
Richard and Ian

BkiUdcw4uBhi1OGmc2L- | Alker claims Schwab Cup by finishing 3rd behind Harrington

PHOENIX (AP) — Steven Alker played golf around the world on whatever tour would have him.
He started at home in New Zealand in 1989, had stints on the PGA Tour, in Europe, Asia, Canada, minor league circuits — anywhere he could keep alive the dream of playing professional golf.
Alker's circuitous path reached a pinnacle on the PGA Tour Champions, where a late-career mulligan allowed him to transform from journeyman to champion.
Alker shot 3-under 68 to finish third behind record-setting Padraig Harrington in the Charles Schwab Cup Championship on Sunday to claim the season-long Schwab Cup.
"I've played everywhere I think that kind of helped today, in a way," Alker said. "It's been an amazing journey and just to be here is amazing."
To claim the Charles Schwab Cup, Harrington needed to win and have Alker finish outside the top five. The 51-year-old Irishman took care of the winning by running away from the field, shooting 65 in breezy conditions at Phoenix Country Club.
He finished at 27-under 257 to break the PGA Tour Champions 72-hole record of 258 set by Tom Lehman at the 2012 Schwab Cup Championship. He also matched Jack Nicklaus' record of 27 under at the 1990 Kaulig Companies Championship.
"To play was Padraig was difficult because, do I chase him? Do I protect?" Alker said. "I just tried to play my game as good as I could. He played amazing and deserved to be champion."
Alker trailed Harrington by five shots heading into the final round, but the players behind were his only concern in terms of the Schwab Cup.
It got tight on the back nine.
Alex Cejka made an early move, opening eagle-birdie to move ahead of Alker on the front nine.
Alker had his first bogey of the tournament when he had to punch out after his tee shot on the par-4 12th landed against the lip of a fairway bunker. He added another on the par-3 13th hole, dropping to 17 under.
That put Lee Janzen a shot behind Alker, with Miguel Angel Jimenez two back and Stephen Ames still within reach at 14 under.
Alker gave himself more of a cushion with a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-4 14th and added another at the short par-4 16th. The 51-year-old Kiwi left a birdie putt on No. 18 on the lip to finish at 19 under and claim the Schwab Cup in his second season on the 50-and-over tour.
"The pressure's been on him right from the start of the year all the way through," Harrington said. "He had a lead and several of us were catching him all year. It's very impressive that he's not just held on, but he's won in style."
Cejka shot 65 to finish at 20 under. Janzen (66), Jimenez (66) and Ames (67) tied for fourth at 16 under.
The PGA Tour Champions gave Alker another opportunity in a career that took him around the world, including three seasons on the PGA Tour and two in Europe. His best year was 2014, when he earned $261,901 on what is now the Korn Ferry Tour, and he reached his highest world ranking at No. 191 in 2002.
Alker started his PGA Tour Champions career as a Monday qualifier at the Boeing Classic in August 2021, picking up a top-10 finish that earned him a spot in the following week's tournament. He followed with four more top 10s to keep playing, earned his way into the postseason and eventually won to secure a full card.
The confidence snowballed into this season, when he won five times while earning more than $3.3 million.
Alker arrived in the desert with a lead of more than 600,000 points over Harrington in the race for the Schwab Cup and played nearly flawless golf through the first three days. He entered the final round trailing only Harrington, who shot a 9-under 62 in the third round.
Harrington kept pouring in birdies, turning the front nine in 3-under 33. He added another at No. 12 and curled in a slick 40-foot birdie from the fringe on No. 15.
Harrington hit into the grandstand left of the par-5 18th and, after a drop, hit his pitch to 12 feet. He missed the putt and the chance to break Nicklaus' record.
"It's nice to hold the record with Jack Nicklaus," Harrington said. "Kind of glad I didn't beat him."
Alker never had a chance to catch Harrington, but he didn't need to. He kept playing his steady game and ended up with the bigger trophy.

Queen Máxima has video conference with Côte d'Ivoire on digital financial services
On Thursday 17 June Her Majesty Queen Máxima will meet virtually with government representatives of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire to discuss the importance of digital financial services for the country's economic development. Queen Máxima is the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Advocate (UNSGSA) for Inclusive Finance for Development.
In Côte d'Ivoire 41% of people older than 15 have a bank account (Global Findex 2017), up from 34% in 2014. The increase is mainly due to the use of digital payment methods and small loans. People with low incomes, small business owners, women and people in remote areas make the least use of financial services. This restricts their scope for development. According to a recent study by the World Bank Group (2020), around 37% of businesses in Côte d'Ivoire, mainly small businesses, had to temporarily close their doors due to the coronavirus measures. The study also revealed that 71% of households have experienced such a severe fall in income that they are no longer able to cover the costs of basic necessities.
Queen Máxima will hold bilateral meetings with Côte d'Ivoire's Prime Minister Patrick Achi, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Kobenan Kouassi Adjoumani, Minister of Economy and Finance Adama Coulibaly, Minister of the Digital Economy, Telecommunications and Innovation Roger Félix Adom and Minister of Trade and Industry Souleymane Diarrassouba. She will discuss with them what is needed in terms of policy and regulations to ensure good access to and secure use of digital financial services, especially for disadvantaged groups. The role of financial inclusion in economic recovery during and after the coronavirus crisis will also be on the agenda. On a virtual field visit Queen Máxima will speak about the specific needs of SME owners who use digital financial services. Tailored solutions can help them build a financial buffer and raise their income, enabling them to invest in their future and increase their resilience.
The African continent is one of Queen Máxima's priority regions as UNSGSA. In early March she spoke with President Ramaphosa of South Africa, who was previously also Chairperson of the African Union (Government Information Service press release no. 56). She paid virtual visits to Togo in April (Government Information Service press release no. 113) and to Senegal in January (Government Information Service press release no. 13). During this last visit she also spoke with Governor Tiémoko Meyliet Koné of the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO), which serves the eight countries of the West African Monetary Union (WAEMU). Côte d'Ivoire is one of those eight countries, alongside Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo.

Reviews For The Would-Be Booklover
The Original Reading List
Ridiculous (Real!) Reasons That Your Favourite Books Have Been Banned
September 14, 2018 / ShereeKUWTP / 12 Comments
At the end of this month, we'll be celebrating Banned Books Week (23-29 September), an annual event promoting free and open access to literature. According to the official website, over 11,000 books have been challenged since 1982 (a "challenge" being an attempt to ban or restrict materials, brought by an individual or group, on the basis of content). The idea of a whole week dedicated to unorthodox and unpopular literature originated in the U.S. through the American Library Association, but it has gathered steam and spread worldwide. Banned Books Week draws international attention to the very real dangers posed by censorship – be it at the hands of schools, states, or federal governments.
Personally, I love banned books. In fact, it would seem that the majority of the books on my original reading list have been banned, challenged, or censored at some point in history, somewhere in the world. At least 20 of them appear in the American Library Association's top 100 lists of banned books over the past two decades. What I find most disturbing is the number of books that have been challenged because they contain diverse content; of the top ten most frequently challenged books in 2015, for instance, nine of them (quick maths: that's 90%) featured or were written by people of colour, LGBTI people, and/or people with disabilities. Why are we so quick to challenge inclusive content from groups that are already marginalised in so many other respects?
Well, my favourite way to confront things that I don't like is to laugh at them (of course!). So, let's all have a chuckle at some of the most ridiculous (real!) reasons that books have been banned, challenged, or censored.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn – Mark Twain
My review here.
Banned in Concord, Massachusetts (1885)
Reason Given: It is "trash and suitable only for the slums"
It was an auspicious start to a long and illustrious lifetime of bans and challenges for Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Right up to the present day, it has been challenged repeatedly on the groups of racial insensitivity, perpetuation of racism, use of racial stereotypes, and coarse language. The fact that it accurately reflects the treatment and lived experiences of people of colour in 19th century America seems to have no bearing.
The Call of the Wild – Jack London
Burned in Nazi Germany (1920s-1930s)
Reason Given: It is "too radical"
A nice story about a man going for a walk with his dog (ha!) is clearly of great concern, and not only to the Nazis. The Call Of The Wild was also banned in Italy and Yugoslavia at different points, and has been challenged more recently in the U.S. for "age-inappropriateness" and concern about the author's "pro-Socialist" views.
Fahrenheit 451 – Ray Bradbury
Censored in Irvine, California (1992)
Reason Given: Obscene language ("hell", "damn")
The irony here is mind-boggling! Surely no one ruling on these challenges has actually read the Fahrenheit 451, a dystopian science-fiction novel about a future world where books are illegal. A (somewhat oblivious) Californian school mandated the use of an expurgated version of the text in their classrooms, with all the "bad" words blacked out. Bradbury's work has also been challenged and banned in other districts, usually citing its profanity, anti-government advocacy, opposition to religious belief, and – best of all – "questionable themes" (could they be any more vague?).
The Grapes of Wrath – John Steinbeck
Banned in Kern County, California (1939)
Reason Given: "Portrays Kern County, California in a negative light"
That's right: Kern County is not only the setting of Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, but it was also the first place to ban it. The book was similarly banned in Ireland in the 1950s, and Turkish booksellers were charged for "spreading propaganda" when they sold the book in the 1970s. Grounds for other subsequent challenges include its profanity ("goddamn"), and sexual references.
Leaves of Grass – Walt Whitman
Challenged in New York, New York (1882)
Reason Given: It's "filthy"
A wonderful little organisation called the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice (sadly now disbanded) was not a huge fan of Whitman's Leaves of Grass. They pressured publisher James Osgood to cease distributing the work altogether, arguing that it violated "the Public Statutes concerning obscene literature". When that failed (good on ya, Osgood!), the upstanding booksellers of New York took it upon themselves to advise their customers not to purchase the "filthy" book. I must say, if I received such a warning, I'd probably buy two copies.
Moby Dick – Herman Melville
Banned in Lindale, Texas (1996)
Reason Given: It "conflicted with community values"
Ah, that old chestnut! Which community values were contradicted exactly remains unclear, but Moby Dick definitely contradicted them, according to a school district in Lindale. Other books banned by the same school under that ruling include To Kill a Mockingbird, The Scarlet Letter, and – the darling of Banned Books Week, mentioned above – The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Fifty Shades of Grey – E.L. James
Challenged (2015)
Reason Given: It is "poorly written", and there are "concerns that a group of teenagers will want to try it"
I shouldn't play favourites, but as far as I'm concerned this is the best ridiculous reason for a book to be challenged, ever! I can understand perhaps thinking that the content of Fifty Shades of Grey is a little "adult" for a very young audience, but what a way to articulate that concern! The Malaysian government did a little better: they banned the entire trilogy that same year, for its "sadistic" material and its "threat to morality".
*Note: the location of this particular challenge has not been made public. The wonderful team at the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom were kind enough to tell me why: librarians and other professionals who wish to seek support from their office, but fear reprimands or punishment at work for reporting instances of censorship, are welcome to submit their concerns confidentially. However, they also confirmed for me that this was, in fact, a legitimate challenge reported to their office in 2015.
Lord of the Flies – William Golding
Challenged in North Carolina (1981)
Reason Given: It is "demoralising, in that it implies that a man is little more than an animal"
This reason for challenging Lord of the Flies is lifted directly from its very premise. Any kid writing a book report can tell you that Golding's whole point was that man is not that different from the animals. Such logic isn't stopping the censorship brigade, though! They've also challenged this book for its obscene language, violence, and – I swear, I'm not making this up – animal cruelty.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland – Lewis Carroll
Banned in Hunan, China (1931)
Reason Given: It would be "disastrous to put animals and human beings on the same level"
Yep: anthropomorphised animals really freak out the Chinese government. They felt that Lewis Carroll's charming children's fantasy novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, was an insult to humans, and would teach children "disastrous" things (i.e., that humans and animals are "on the same level"). Can you imagine?
The U.S. got on board the banning train in the '60s, albeit for different reasons: they believed the mushroom and hookah imagery would lure kids into the drug culture. Then, in the '90s, New Hampshire banned the book (again!) for promoting "sexual fantasies and masturbation". ??? Even I don't know how they got there…
All The King's Men – Robert Penn Warren
Challenged in Dallas, Texas (1974)
Reason Given: Depicting a "depressing view of life" and "immoral situations"
God knows, we can't have young adults exposed to a depressing view of life in literature! Especially not when it reflects immoral situations! How else will they learn that the real world is all sunshine and rainbows, and everyone does the right thing always?! We can hardly blame the good people of Dallas, Texas for challenging All The King's Men, really.
Brave New World – Aldous Huxley
Removed from classrooms in Miller, Missouri (1980)
Reason Given: "It makes promiscuous sex look like fun"
Words fail me.
Honourable mentions must also go to: The Holy Bible (challenged for its "religious viewpoint"), The Witches by Roald Dahl (for "encouraging disobedience"), Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume (for "content dealing with menstrual cycles and feminine hygiene", heaven forbid) and A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess (inexplicably challenged for "obscene language" only, when half the book is written in a nonsense language invented by the author and depicts some of the most graphic sexual violence and state-perpetrated violence that I have ever read – check out my full review for more details).
So, now that we've all had a good laugh, let's get back to Banned Books Week. The battle against censorship is never won. Take some time out this month to read books that people tell you you "shouldn't". Soak up some dangerous ideas. Support an author who has been challenged or banned (buy their book, go to their talk, request their work at your local library). None of us have to like everything, but we should do everything we can to make sure that no one impinges on our right to read anything.
Have you come across a ridiculous reason that a book has been banned? What will you be reading to celebrate Banned Books Week? Let me know in the comments (or give it a shout-out over at KUWTP on Facebook!).

Paper Towns – John Green
Ha ha ha!!! MOST AMAZING REASONS EVER!!!! (Although, I do agree with 50 shades… It IS poorly written. 😉 Is that a reason to BAN IT?? There are A LOT of poorly written books floating around in the world!)
I live the Brave New World reason, as well "makes promiscuous sex look like fun"?? 😂😂😂 Amazing…
ShereeKUWTP (Post author)
And it's so subjective!! I mean, theoretically we could make a case that just about every book is "poorly written" by some standard or another – how can that possibly be used as a reason?? I'm still chuckling at the notion that teenagers will learn "sex is fun" from 50 Shades of Grey and Brave New World – like they have no way of figuring it out otherwise 😂😂😂
Wow! I am from Turkey and can't believe Grape of Wrath was banned in 70'ies- completely new info to me, but I believe it. Politically it was a mess, and anything could have happened in that chaos !
Hahahahaha I struggle to believe any of them, honestly! Thanks for stopping by 😀
Brave New World is clearly my favorite reason for banning a book. I mean, duh, really–so true.
Every year at the library, I would celebrate Banned Books Week in the young adult section. I stirred up so much SHIT. My favorite display was banned cutout hands. I placed construction paper hands all over the book covers saying "banned." I had a list of books and reasons why. I used the stereotypical caution tape and had flames everywhere. It looked pretty badass and shouted: READ ME!!
One day, my manager passive aggressively (it's the library) took down all my hands while I was at a doctor's appointment. She said patrons were concerned about the books and the message. Then they blamed circulation saying that they were annoyed with having to take the puddy off the book from the hands (took a sec at most). Short story: my hands went back up, and those books flew off the shelves. As an ALA supported week, you can dang well bet that I was celebrating and bringing awareness.
I live in FL so they try to censor A LOT. Gay girls in graphic novels? Out. DEAR LORD. Censorship still exists, and it makes me crazy.
Thanks for sharing this fun and informative post! I saw it on my Pinterest group board and had to reshare everywhere. Clearly WP reader still blows chunks for me. Love, Christine The Uncorked Librarian
HA! Good on you, fighting the good fight!! I can totally imagine the passive-aggressiveness of the library environment, glad you stuck it to 'em 😉 I'm going to have to keep spamming your Pinterest board to make sure you don't miss any of my brilliance… 😛
These are hilarious!!!! I work in an academic library in the heart of Mormon country and instead of lodging formal banned book requests, homeschool moms bring their children to the library, book a study room, and give their children sharpies in order to censor books they find offense. Personal favorite? They censored out the entire female body section of an anatomy book. #Dead
OH MY FLIPPING HECK!!! (see what I did there?? hahaha) That is AMAZING!!! Can you imagine having that much (a) time on your hands, and (b) self-righteousness?? Bahahahahahaha!!! It honestly defies logic…
Theresa Smith
I'm like you here, I deliberately seek out banned books. 😁
Banned books are the best books!!
yup "pro-socialist" views are a real no-no currently.
Can't imagine much that causes such consternation apart from people who want to work with children
Yep, wouldn't want our kids developing critical reading/thinking skills or learning about reality in the relatively safe confines of a paperback, would we? 😉

BkiUdPzxK6Ot9V_E38tV | ++| A M V - Video Information: Drift.
Comments: Ok, so basically I watched Kino's Journey, and got the urge to edit. Like, really badly. So I ripped the VOBs and put this together. It was edited in something like two and a half hours, so don't expect anything particularly complex. In fact, there are pretty much no effects at all. Instead it's a short, very emotional video (at least for me) about being unable to do anything about the circumstances around you.
If you want a slightly more detailed description, read what I wrote here.
There will probably be no x264 version because it came out looking worse than the XviD version due to the scanlines present throughout the anime. The XviD quality is fine, though, and at such a small filesize I don't see much reason to upload an x264 version.
Enjoy, and please leave feedback, good or bad! | c4 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUdb025YjgKO5ElDsG | Destinations, Africa
Emirates Is Betting on Africa With Plans for Expanded Fleet
Deena Kamel Yousef, Bloomberg
- Oct 02, 2014 3:00 pm
While travelers are staying away from many African destinations because of unrest (Egypt) or health (west Africa), smart travel brands are making investments to be best positioned for the coming economic boom.
Emirates, the largest international airline, is planning to expand in Africa with at least 10 new routes by 2025 and a jet fleet worth $10 billion to $12 billion, according to President Tim Clark.
The carrier is seeking African destinations with oil and gas reserves that need regular transport for people and cargo, Clark told reporters at the Africa Global Business Forum in Dubai, where it's based. The company is also considering opportunities in West African countries such as Equatorial Guinea and Togo.
"These are all potentials for us to link at some point or the other in the future," Clark said. "Africa is a growth story and the opportunities are enormous, we will continue to grow there."
Emirates is seeing a drop in demand for flights to Africa from Asia because of the outbreak of the Ebola virus in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, he said. The airline flies to 22 destinations on the continent and has planes worth about $7 billion operating there.
"There are indications that demand in the east is coming off a little bit because of a perception that Ebola is Africa- wide, but it certainly isn't," Clark said. "There are segments of our business in China, Taiwan and Vietnam that are fairly cautious about what they do, but for every one of those that we lose we fill it with something else. There's always business to be done in Africa."
Emirates will take delivery of 24 aircraft in 2015, Clark said. The carrier has recourse to a range of financing instruments including operating leases.

BkiUdoo5qoTBG_qrquhc | The iconic musical is still adored by millions worldwide, and yesterday it was revealed that a prequel story is in the works.
The film will take place in the summer before Danny and Sandy – originally played by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John – were reunited at Rydell High.
Essentially, it seems like it'll be a whole film made out of the lyrics of the song Summer Nights.
It's called Summer Loving, and the silver lining is that a very qualified writer is on script duties: John August, who has previously penned Big Fish and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
"The entire lore of Sandy and Danny in Grease is that you don't know exactly what happened that summer smh," one person tweeted; referencing the character's slightly different versions of events in Summer Nights.
"you don't need a Grease prequel there's literally a whole song that already explains it!!!" posted someone else.
Many users said that, if a Grease prequel were to be made, it should focus on iconic supporting character Rizzo rather than Danny and Sandy.
"The only prequel I want is one of Rizzo!!!" said another.
Released in 1978 and based on the 1971 musical, Grease is an all-time great in terms of cultural impact and continued appeal.
A sequel, Grease 2, was released in 1982 with Maxwell Caulfield and Michelle Pfeiffer; grossing just $15 million (the original made $40 million in just nineteen days).
Its soundtrack is also iconic: songs include You're The One That I Want, Sandy, Hopelessly Devoted To You and We Go Together.
Summer Loving does not currently have a release date. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Video Games Reviews & News
List of Top 5 Game Developers Spain
Camila Ellis / November 14, 2019
In general, all press content and video game analysis is usually focused on the outside industry to select the titles to talk about. And while it's true that the middle heavyweights belong to American, Japanese, French, etc. studios, we can't overlook about Spanish video game developing. Spain is famous not only for its excellent cuisine, ocean and beautiful cities, but also for its quality games.
Even with the few productions, publication and marketing facilities available to videogame creation in Spain, due to the lack of aid and the scarce knowledge of the general press about the sector, the Spanish videogame industry has fought against all odds over the years to make a place for itself on the national scene. Fortunately, this is one of the best (if not the best) times for the creation and distribution of national brand video games, thanks to the magnificent work of many studios with spectacular ideas. And if there is one thing to recognise about Spanish video games, it is the great creativity of their proposals and the courage to experiment and explore concepts beyond what we have usually seen in the sector. For all this, we have selected 5 Spanish video game studios that we need to recommend, both to take a look at the great work we can find at home and to shed some light on the current Spanish sector.
Milkstone Studios is a team located in Oviedo and made up of 5 people, with a common trait in all their projects: passion for what they do. All their videogames are treated with great affection, and that can be seen with the naked eye in the result of each of the titles. One of the great facets of Milkstone Studios is, specifically, the versatility they demonstrate when designing their games. We find works like White Noise, an experience of asymmetrical terror to play with our friends in which we can be 4 investigators trying to solve a mystery, or the monster trying to hunt them in the dark. But we also come across completely different proposals like Ziggurat, the first-person dungeon crawler that brought the team to fame. Every game at Milkstone Studios doesn't seem to be developed by the same team, and the versatility they demonstrate when it comes to translating their ideas is spectacular. His latest title, Pharaonic, is both his most ambitious project and one of the most fun and interesting titles we can find on the Spanish scene. Pharaonic is, roughly speaking, a 2D Dark Souls set in Ancient Egypt in which we will have to make our way through pyramids, labyrinths and deserts, an interesting proposal that will make us strive to overcome their difficult challenges and will dazzle us with the colorful art that portrays the game. If you haven't tried it yet, we recommend it 100%!
Super Amazing Hyper Dimensional Mega Team
A studio with a name like "Super – Amazing – Hyper – Dimensional – Mega – Team" could only promise one thing: lots of fun. As expected, the name doesn't disappoint, as the games developed by this 4-person Spanish team are loaded with fun. Their proposals are almost as crazy and funny as the name of the studio: while Supermagical is an adventure for all ages with multiple mechanics and a universe full of magical elements, Pro Zombie Soccer puts us in the shoes of a football player who is involved in a zombie apocalypse, forcing the player to defeat hundreds of living dead by shooting a ball. The jewel in the crown is undoubtedly his latest project: Rise and Shine. This shooter with elements inspired by Metal Slug has a great proposal: in the world of Gamearth, Rise and his faithful pistol Shine must face hordes of Space Marines from the planet Nexgen. Do the names of these worlds ring a bell? In addition to mechanics that promise long hours of entertainment, Rise and Shine is a fun look at the world of video games and a nod to the industry loaded with easter eggs and references to classics like Zelda, Super Mario Bros or Halo. A fresh and modern game full of nostalgia for the most veteran that you can not miss, at the hands of the great Super Amazing Hyper Dimensional Team (we said it right the first time!).
Deconstructeam
In addition to hours of entertainment, video games can be an inexhaustible source of stories, and on many occasions have become the perfect platform to reflect and explore issues such as ethics, good and evil, freedom, and so on. This is something that the Valencians of Deconstructeam, the Spanish studio responsible for two of the most important and successful games of the national indie scene, both published by the famous Devolver Digital: Gods Will Be Watching and The Red Strings Club. The two titles offer deep and complex narratives with ample decision-making power, creating multiple personal stories in which the player will have to reflect on different themes during the game to understand his message. Gods Will Be Watching presents a science fiction story divided into 6 episodes in point & click format, with an impassive game system that will force us to make every effort to solve the puzzles, at the risk of losing our progress in each phase very easily. The Red Strings Club offers a cyberpunk graphic adventure with several protagonists, with a story that revolves around a night club in which hackers, androids and information smugglers come together to give life to a fascinating narrative loaded with decisions that we will have to constantly evaluate. If you're looking for deep games that make you think and accompany you even after you've finished them, don't hesitate, Deconstructeam's work is for you.
If there are two mythical genres in the world of videogames that, with the passing of the years and the use of new mechanics, have been somewhat relegated to the background, they are platform and puzzle games. With a few honorable exceptions that have kept the classic trail of this type of games, the number of platform titles and puzzles on the market has been decreasing over time to give way to new generations of shooters, open world adventures and RPGs. But Tequila Works, a Spanish team made up of professionals from Blizzard, MercurySteam, Pyro, Weta and Sony, know perfectly well how to use these mechanics to create interesting and really fun proposals. In addition, their line of games is totally dynamic, as all of them seem to be developed by different studios: the ability to reinvent oneself is one of the strengths of Tequila Works. On the one hand we have Deadlight, a horror and survival video game that will force us to cross levels infested with "shadows" through curious platform puzzles with a lot of tension during the game. On the other hand, The Sexy Brutale (developed by Tequila Works together with Cavalier Game Studios) offers a masterful Cluedo game in which we'll have to find out what's going on in a sinister masquerade party, in which guests have begun to die one after the other. As if that weren't enough, the consolidation of the two characteristic elements of the Spanish studio can be found in its latest and ambitious product: RiME, an adventure full of puzzles and platforms with a colorful and minimalist aesthetic. As we can see, each Tequila Works game is a completely different product from the previous one, making clear the skill and magnificent work that this studio is able to carry out to continually reinvent itself.
Finally, we couldn't leave without mentioning the Sevillian study that has been on everyone's lips in recent years. The Game Kitchen was known for developing The Last Door for 3 years, a point and click adventure with strong inspiration from the work of Lovecraft and the well-known horror game Amnesia, in a Victorian horror story with sinister entities, forbidden sects and unsolved mysteries in a dark mansion. But in the last two years, there has been talk of a title impossible to forget if we talk about videogames developed in Spain, a videogame financed through Kickstarter that has appeared in all the specialized media both here and abroad. A title that, by all means, could become the Bloodborne of our country: Blasphemous. With a story and an artistic section that try to become a dark and twisted version of the Christian religion, Blasphemous shows an end of the world in which monsters and penitents roam the bloodthirsty streets. The player's job, like so many other times, will be to advance through these streets sword in hand, defeating hundreds of enemies and powerful final bosses to unravel the mysteries of the game. Blasphemous is still in development and we barely have more detailed information to know more about it, but its developers update their news from time to time and are constantly active on social networks, video game events, fairs, and so on. With great desire to see the final result of the Sevillian studio, we can assure you that The Game Kitchen can have in the oven one of the most ambitious and interesting projects in the history of videogame in Spain.

BkiUdxI5qsNCPgVW_PQX | Although I have made the issue of frauds and scams the topic of many articles, there seems to be an increase in the number of calls we continue to receive, and unfortunately there continue to be honest people falling victim to these types of crimes.
While I could fill pages of this paper describing the various types of scams and stories of those who have been victimized, I would rather focus on the basic human trait that each and every one of these scams feeds upon for their successes.
Whether the scam involves the potential to win a great deal of money in a lottery that you had never entered or receiving a large sum of money from a relative you have never met, these possibilities raise your emotional state of mind.
Although the emotions generated from these types of possibilities may be emotions of jubilation and happiness, they are still just that, emotions.
On the flip side, when you receive a call from what you are told and believe is the IRS or law enforcement, you experience emotions such as anxiety, fear or guilt.
We can add to this list the calls that you believe are from family or friends requesting money because they have found themselves in a tragic set of circumstances and desperately need your help immediately, creating emotions of sympathy, compassion and obligation.
Each and every one of these circumstances is very different, but there is one distinct, shared feature, and that is the ability of the caller to elevate your emotional state of mind.
This is no accident. In fact, it is essential to the success of the callers' twisted endeavor because, by elevating your level of emotion, they are diminishing your level of logic.
This mathematical equation of Emotions High = Logic Low is not just related to the perpetration of scams, it follows us every day of our lives, and each of us can find numerous times when we made decisions and fought our own battles between emotion and logic.
It could be as simple as a purchase of shoes that we really didn't need and maybe have yet to be worn as they sit piled in our closet. It could be the purchase of a home that was well above our means and caused financial stress in our lives. To a greater extent, it could be that relationship we stayed in even though we knew it was not healthy and was keeping us from true happiness.
Ultimately many of the choices we make from childhood into adult life are made in the balance between emotion and logic.
As parents, we watch as our children navigate through their own young lives and learn the importance of good decisions. We cheer them as they experience the joy and satisfaction of good decisions and feel their pain and frustration of consequences from not-so-good decisions. Each and every one of these is a lesson which we hope will continue to build their understanding of when to follow emotion and when to follow logic.
In regards to scams and frauds, our ability to follow up and bring justice to victims once money is sent or vital personal information is shared remains very limited. These crimes are perpetrated many times from overseas and the technology they utilize eliminates our ability to investigate effectively.
Our best defense remains our own logic and, when possible, the logic of those around us. If you are contacted with an opportunity that seems too good to be true, or a call which causes you a high level of anxiety, take a moment to contact a family member or friend. Create an environment where someone other than yourself who is not emotionally attached to the event can review the situation and hopefully bring a more logical perspective.
Also, please share your experiences with others. Your close encounter with a scam may make the difference for the next person on the receiving end of a call or email. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUe1s5qsFCgpxUVRI2 | There were 80 attendees at our bi-annual WiC luncheon at the ACC 2018 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Welcomes were given by ACC 2018 General Chair, Jordan Berg, IEEE CSS VP Member Activities, Li-Chen Fu, IEEE CSS President, Francesco Bullo, and AACC President, Richard Braatz. Prof. Bullo discussed the IEEE CSS efforts to reaffirm its ethical values and to develop new strategies to increase diversity and inclusion within the society (see his recently published President's Message in the IEEE CSM Aug. 2018 issue, with reference to the IEEE Women in Tech survey). NSF Program Director Irina Dolinskaya and IEEE WIE Chair Bozenna Pasik-Duncan also addressed the audience.
Welcome to the American Automatic Control Council (AACC). Automatic control systems have become far more pervasive today than any time in the history of humanity, and is nearly everywhere, including automobiles, aircraft, seacraft, electric grids, the internet, smart phones, personal digital assistants, fitness trackers, laptops, appliances, manufacturing processes, biomedical robots, vacuum cleaners, and lawn mowers. Control engineers design, analyze, and implement the automatic control systems that empower these technologies to save energy, increase performance, and have more capabilities. Control systems researchers and leading industrial practitioners develop increasingly powerful control systems theory, algorithms, and technologies that enable the design of automatic control systems for increasingly sophisticated systems. Our mission is promote communication and cooperation among the various segments of the automatic control profession. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUeI3xK7Tt6CA5H68Y | Summer can mean lots of fun outside with your dog. But when the temps soar, take steps to protect your pet. Whether you take him for a walk down the street, a ride in the car, or just out in the yard to play, the heat can be hard on him. Here's how to keep your furry best friend safe.
Never leave your dog in the car. No, not even if you think you'll only be a few minutes. Even when it isn't that hot outside, the temp can soar inside a closed car. On an 85-degree day, it can reach 102 F within 10 minutes. And that's with a window cracked. After 30 minutes, it could be up to 120. Leave your dog at home, or go places where he can come with you.
Keep your house cool. If Fido's home alone, make sure he can truly chill. Leave the air conditioner on, and close the drapes. If you don't have AC, open the windows and turn on a fan. You may want to see if a cooling vest or mat can help.
Watch when you exercise. Limit when and how much you do when it's hot and humid. Take walks in the cooler part of the day -- the early morning and evening. And carry enough water for both of you.
Check the pavement. Before you head out for a walk, touch the pavement. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for your dog's paw pads. Walk on the grass and stay off the asphalt. You also might want to try booties for your dog so his paws don't burn.
Offer plenty of water and shade. Don't leave your pooch alone outside for long. And when he is there, make sure he has shade and lots of fresh, cool water. Add ice cubes when you can. Trees are better than doghouses for shade. They let air flow through. Doghouses can trap the heat and make it worse. Think about a kiddie pool or a sprinkler to help your pal cool off in the yard.
Take care of at-risk dogs. Be watchful if you have a snub-nosed pet like a pug or bulldog. Their smaller airways make it harder for them to release heat when they pant. It's also easy for old and overweight dogs, or those with heart and breathing problems, to get heatstroke.
Groom your pet. If your dog has long hair, get rid of any mats and tangles. It will help keep him cool. Don't shave or clip his coat before you talk to your vet or groomer. The extra fur that keeps him warm in winter may also keep him cool in summer.

BkiUbKc5ixsDMQNr2hIS | Stefano and I were together as a couple before we started the business. It was a classic story of meeting through a friend but the romance as well as the business began at Borough Market. Being on the stall with him is great fun, we are quite smiley people anyway and we love talking to people.
We are not always on the stall together because there are times when we have different responsibilities but when we are, we have a great vibe going on. We like to have a laugh with our customers.
Stefano has a wide range of foods he is into which is wonderful, but he is probably the only Italian I know who isn't very into pasta. We don't eat much of it at home. I would say heaven for him is a fantastic steak, chargrilled and served with simple ingredients. It doesn't have to be fine dining. Give him a good steak from a nice community restaurant with a big bottle of red wine and he is happy.
Another non-Italian trait is that he is not zealous about the food of his region. He loves all types of cuisine—he took me for my first Korean meal. Don't get me wrong, he is passionate about Italian produce, it is just that he is not blinkered about food. It is one of the reasons we both like London as a whole and Borough Market in particular. You can discover new things every day, it's fantastic.
Stefano deals with our suppliers which a big job, as most of them are in Italy. He is brilliant when it comes to logistics. I'm in charge of looking after accounts, marketing, IT etc.
I would say Stefano is a very passionate cook. He takes it very seriously—whether it's a simple salad or a proper ragu, he is very focused. It can take anything from 10 minutes to eight hours. He wants the best possible result, but at the same time he is a very relaxed cook, he knows what he is doing, and he has lived with a few chefs in the past which helps.
His speciality is his ragu. It's slow cooked and usually does take eight hours. It is beautiful and usually a mix of pork, beef and veal with red wine and beautiful herbs. He just lets it do its thing and it is the best thing you've ever eaten.
Working together is lovely but can be challenging. We are both quite stubborn and opinionated people so sometimes we have quite heated debates about things like new products and stock levels. Neither of us are that good at stepping back and saying 'Ok, it's not that important'. Funnily enough, though, it is normally about trivial things. We always agree about the big business decisions.
At the moment we don't go out as much as we used to, running the business is just too exhausting. We relax with wine at home. I like crisp whites and big reds like merlot and syrah. Stefano is from the Barolo region and loves the big punchy Italian reds like gattinara, barolo, and amarone on special occasions.
I think one of the things that gives Stefano most pleasure is how much I like working on the stall. Working here really defied my expectations, I found it really exciting. Stefano is very smug about that because he said I would love it—it kills me to say he was right. It is also really nice going through the shared experience of building something together.
I really like working with Sam. It was one of the things I had in mind when I had the idea for the business. We had not worked together before so you never know how things are going to work out, but it has been really fun. We both really like interacting with the customers and the other traders. But the most important thing is that we get to spend a lot of time together.
At the time she thought the idea of her giving up her corporate job and working here was crazy. But things changed when she was made redundant. She did have the opportunity to carry on in the career she was doing, she was very good at her job and other opportunities opened up, but our business was running and she had spent some time at the Market on the stall.
She had begun to fall in love with what it is to be part of a market. It is a different kind of society and one that she found she enjoyed. So she decided to take the plunge and come full time on board with the business.
At the beginning she was a bit shy on the stall because she had never worked in a market. She was from a corporate background, where you interact with the customers in a different way. But after a while I began to see her adapt and really enjoy the experience. At the same time she gets to use her experience of marketing, branding and IT to help the business, so she is happy with that.
One of the reasons I think she likes it here is because just like me, she loves food. Not just the eating, but the background, the production, everything. Food in one form or another makes up a large part of our conversations. Not only honey but the other things we sell as well, we just find it an area of fascination. Even before the business, once we finished lunch we would talk about dinner.
Sam is wonderful at cooking. She thinks very quickly. She can come up with something wonderful from whatever we have in half an hour. She loves cooking, it's like her decompression time, her way of starting to relax after work. It is one of the reasons Sam does a lot of the cooking at home—that and the fact that I'm lazy!
Vegetables are at the centre of cooking for Sam, even though she isn't a vegetarian. She introduced me to cauliflower rice—finely grated cauliflower cooked in a pan with things like chilli and garlic or spices like cardamom and coriander. When you cook it, it becomes crispy, it has a great texture.
At the moment I would say her favourite food is Asian cuisine—anything from Thai to Indian. If I was going to take Sam out for a special meal I think it would be either Japanese or Thai, but that changes. A year ago it would have been a well-cooked, traditional roast dinner in a pub. Next year it will be something else. We are both experimental when it comes to food and are always looking for new things to discover. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUd8I4uBhhxIH74Ovi | Barcelona beat Sevilla 6-1 at the Camp Nou on Wednesday to make it to the Copa del Rey semi-finals 6-3 on aggregate.
They were 2-0 down from the first leg but had Lionel Messi back in the starting line-up after having missed the first game and he won a penalty which Philippe Coutinho scored on 13 minutes.
Jasper Cillessen then saved an Ever Banega penalty and Sevilla paid for the miss conceding again on 32 minutes through Ivan Rakitic.
Coutinho scored again on 53 minutes and Sergio Roberto made it four a minute later. Guilherme Arana pulled a goal back but Luis Suarez and Messi completed the route late-on.

BkiUc705qX_Bl-uWGQHS | WINNIPEG, Man. (CANADIAN CHRISTIAN NEWS SERVICE) – What was the state of Christian journalism at the turn of the millennium? What is it like today? What will happen to it in the future?
Those are questions that will be explored the Legacies and Learnings: A ChristianWeek Symposium, May 2-3 at Canadian Mennonite University in Winnipeg.
During the Symposium, speakers and panelists will discuss the role played by ChristianWeek, a newspaper that existed in print from 1987-2014, in reporting about the church in Canada during that time; the state of Christian journalism today; and the landscape facing Christian journalists and communicators in the future.
Speakers are Lorna Dueck, well-known Christian broadcaster and commentator, CEO of Yes TV and host of Context with Lorna Dueck, speaking on the topic: Legacies and Learnings: Considering the Past, Present, and Future of Faith-based Media in Canada; Gerry Bowler, a former professor of history at the University of Manitoba, speaking on the topic The Curious Case of ChristianWeek: A Brief History of a Medium that Mattered; and Sarah Wilkins-Laflamme, assistant professor of sociology at the University of Waterloo, addressing the issue of the future of faith in Canada through the topic None of the Above: Having No Religion in Canada.
Members of Canadian Church Press and the Anglican Editors Association will be holding their conventions in conjunction with the Symposium.
"During its time in print, ChristianWeek made an important contribution to the church in Canada, reporting the good and the bad, always seeking to provide an honest look at how God was working in this country," says former editor Doug Koop and one of the Symposium's organizers.
The Symposium starts May 2, 7 PM with an open public meeting and continues all day, May 3, at CMU, 500 Shaftesbury Blvd., Winnipeg.
The Symposium is made possible by support from Canadian Mennonite University, ChristianWeek and individual supporters across Canada.

BkiUc404dbjiVFoXIY5o | Singer Song Hyeon-in, Hongja and Park Sung-yeon appeared in 'The Night of Eve'
'Only One Love' Lee Dong-geon warned Shin Hye-sun that Kim Myung-soo would be destroyed
Kim Myung - soo
Lee Dong-geon
Shin Hye Sun
In the KBS drama "One Love" broadcasted on the 27th, Lee Ji-woo (Dong Gun) warned Lee Hyeon-seo (Shin Hye Sun) that Kim Dae-sung (Kim Myung-soo) could not stay on the ground for long.
On this day, Kim met with the rainfall and asked, "How can we become human?" Kim said, "I can not see the person I once loved. I was more obsessed with the pain, so you can understand me."
"I think you will have a hard and bitter experience," he warned. "You can not be human, you have to die." Kim tries to stay next to Lee Yeon-seo somehow.
Dean met with rainfall to make sure of the relationship. Lee Yeon-woo said, "There is a person I like." He said, "Is not he a person?" He warned, "How long will the angel be on the ground?"
Although Kim was on a rainy day, he came to see Lee Yeon Seo. "I will stay at home for the rest of my life," he said. "I'll stick with the rain while at home."
The rainfall asked Lee to meet again. Dean asked, "What do you mean by saying that an angel can not be on the ground forever?" "I am not a fool enough to be able to hold on to a man who has come to his advantage and goes up with his own will," he said.
He said, "People die too, and no one can be around forever, and if we have not got enough time left, we will love harder so that no regret is left."
But Jiwang warned, "Who told you to go back to heaven will disappear like dust, like dust." He said, "God has a lot of jealousy, he does not like to lose himself to others.
Deejun was greatly shocked at the end of the rainfall. On this day, Kim showed his promise to stay next to Lee Yeon-seo.

BkiUbInxK0-nUGYe4LCX | In today's ROI-focused business environment, enterprises often are maniacally attached to the payback equation. They want to know if and when the business case will bring returns. And for organizations making an investment, overcoming financial hurdles can be the singular focus. But there is another hurdle that often is ignored: internal resistance to change. Resistance to change drives inaction and may even impact the enterprise more profoundly than taking an action with a poor or negative financial return.
What creates resistance to change?
Stagnant workforce: Companies keep employees in the same role for an extended period of time and aren't proactive in providing opportunities for employees to broaden skills via job rotation and career advancement. A lack of commitment to rotation and career progression creates an environment that is not conducive to change and can keep the enterprise mired in the status quo.
Poor understanding of the importance of organizational change management (OCM): Organizations that take an unstructured approach to OCM – or do not see it as an investment in their future – lose out on significant opportunities to catalyze and incent a change mentality across the enterprise.
Lack of investment in vendor management: Organizations that fail to implement a proactive vendor management office (VMO) often end up being reactive in nature and struggle to manage existing relationships and contracts. In these cases, decisions are made in contract-specific silos and fail to take into account the broader implications. Without a longer-term perspective, these organizations struggle to facilitate change and take the necessary actions to holistically support the enterprise.
Lack of chargeback transparency: Companies that do not rely on an effective chargeback process have suboptimal understanding of the specific IT services that support its end users and the cost of those services. This information provides service owners with valuable data that can help them make smart decisions and drive competitive IT solutions.
Enterprises that default to inaction face tremendous competitive disadvantages in today's market – a market that values rapid change and disruption.
How does an enterprise overcome the mentality of inaction?
Ensure leadership adopts a change-agent mentality, emphasizing and encouraging rotational career paths.
Increase your commitment to OCM by adding staff and program-based expertise that can help drive behavioral change across the enterprise.
Invest in a VMO and be proactive in reviewing the contract portfolio so you can anticipate upcoming renewals and support them earlier in the process so you have leverage with providers and enough time to test the market for the most effective solution.
Implement an effective chargeback methodology starting with Technology Business Management (TBM) that can assist service owners in making decisions to stay competitive.
Many organizations need a partner to overcome the attitude of inaction. ISG can help. Contact us to hear about our insights and approaches for staying ahead of change.

BkiUcRrxK0iCl2n1-vnk | Piermont is a village incorporated in 1847 in Rockland County, New York, United States. Piermont is in the town of Orangetown, located north of the hamlet of Palisades, east of Sparkill, and south of Grand View-on-Hudson, on the west bank of the Hudson River. The population was 2,510 at the 2010 census. Woody Allen set The Purple Rose of Cairo, a fictional film within The Purple Rose of Cairo (1984) in Piermont.
The village's name, in earlier years known as Tappan Landing, was given by Dr. Eleazar Lord, author, educator, deacon of the First Protestant Dutch Church and first president of the Erie Railroad. It was derived by combining a local natural feature – Tallman Mountain – and the most prominent man-made feature of the village – the long Erie Railroad pier.
History
Sparkill Creek cuts through the north end of the Hudson Palisades, providing easy access to the fertile valley of the unnavigable upper Hackensack River. "Tappan Landing," "Tappan Slote", or "Taulman Landing," as the little port on the Hudson River was called, thus became the original port for southern Orange County. The valley in the Palisades created by the creek also provided an obvious route for the Erie Railroad's first-built line (now known as the Piermont Branch), which originated at Suffern, New York, to reach eastward to the Hudson (with water connection to New York City). The railroad built a long pier into the river near the creek in 1839 as its principal terminal. The pier and the nearby mountains suggested a new name for the community, which was incorporated as a village in 1850. During World War II the pier was the ferry terminal to which troops from Camp Shanks marched in order to be transported to New York Port of Embarkation piers for transfer to overseas transports bound for the European Theater. A memorial plaque notes that history at the pier.
Late in the 20th century, Piermont became a modest tourist attraction for day-trippers from New York City, particularly those bicycling on Bike Route 9.
Piermont Station
The Piermont Branch was not the only Erie rail line that served the village. Piermont Railroad Station, located on Ash Street, is a Victorian Stick style structure built in 1873 which served as Piermont's stop for the former Erie Railroad Northern Branch north-south line, which went from Nyack, New York, to Jersey City, New Jersey. Service on the Northern Branch stopped running through Piermont in 1966. The branch was abandoned in the 1970s as a result of railroad consolidation.
The exterior of the building was renovated to its original architecture and French gray, light-green and oxide-red color scheme in 2006 by the Piermont Historical Society. They replaced the roof and installed a new cupola. The train station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
Piermont Fire Department
Piermont Fire Department, Rockland County department 13, is an all-volunteer fire department, providing fire, EMS, and water rescue services, and is located on Main Street. Piermont is one of the few districts in Rockland County having a Dive Rescue team, providing water rescue services from the Tappan Zee Bridge to the Palisades.
Piermont hand-cranked drawbridge
The Piermont hand-cranked drawbridge, also known as the Sparkill Creek Drawbridge, was originally built in 1880 by the King Iron Bridge Company, a company from Cleveland, Ohio, that constructed more than 10,000 bridges over six decades. The hand-cranked drawbridge is used as a pedestrian walkway providing a link to Tallman Mountain State Park. This bridge is the only hand-cranked drawbridge in Rockland County and perhaps in the United States. Back in the day, fishermen on sloops heading up and down the creek got out of their vessel, cranked up the drawbridge, sailed across, got out of their vessel and cranked down the drawbridge for vehicular traffic. The whole bridge was dismantled piece by piece, sent off-site for restoration and restored to its original state after a complete forensic analysis. Allan King Sloan, the great-great-grandson of the company's founder, provided some of the information that is on the historical marker nearby and attended the dedication ceremony on August 7, 2009.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of , of which is land and , or 41.74%, is water.
Piermont is on the west bank of the Hudson River, south of the Tappan Zee Bridge.

Notable people
Alfred Bristol, A 100-year-old World War II veteran of Piermont who served his country in a segregated Army unit is the recipient of this year's Rockland County Buffalo Soldier Award. The award, presented since 1993, is named after the black 10th Cavalry Regiment that was stationed near the railroad construction camps of the Kansas Frontier in 1867. Regiment members were nicknamed "Buffalo Soldiers" by the Plains Indians, based on their exceptional and fearsome fighting reputation. They were never defeated during 23 years of service in the Indian Wars, from 1867 to 1890. Bristol enlisted in the segregated New York Army National Guard in 1931. He belonged to the "Harlem Hellfighters," the nickname for the 369th Infantry Regiment, which was later reorganized into the 369th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Gun Battalion and was sent to the Pacific during World War II. It participated in the 10th Army Division's invasion and occupation of Okinawa, a Japanese stronghold, in 1945. Upon completing Officer Candidate School, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant, a rarity for blacks at the time. Bristol and his wife, Carolyn, who married in 1941, moved to Shanks Village in Orangeburg after World War II where Bristol organized meetings, dances, parades and the 25-cent "Shanks Carpool" to and from New York City. Bristol played a role in the creation of Tappan Public Library and from 1963 to 1995 served as a trustee and president of the library's board. In 1967, he organized the Art for the Mountain auction to help save Clausland Mountain from development, with the 550-acre site later becoming a county park.
Grady Anderson of Nanuet, a Vietnam-era Army veteran and the 1996 award recipient, stated "The purpose was to honor African-American unsung heroes in Rockland County who served in the military and, like their predecessors, experienced the wrath of racism, and were successful in their fields and for giving back to the community," Anderson said.
Army veteran David Smith of Montebello, who saw combat in Vietnam and was the 1994 award recipient, thanked Bristol "for allowing me and others to climb up your back, for the path that you laid for us. So I say that with appreciation, affection and love, and I'll salute you again, sir."
William Gaddis, American novelist, lived in Piermont while writing his second novel, J R (1975). The house he lived in served as the setting for his third novel, Carpenter's Gothic (1985).
Mimi Bryan was elected Piermont's first woman mayor in 1974.
John W. Ferdon (December 13, 1826 – August 5, 1884) Served in the United States House of Representatives, New York State Assembly (Rockland Co.) and New York State Senate (7th D.).

BkiUeObxK6-gD5TlecU_ | Dog Diaries: Khalil Johnson and Xochi
By Katie Naphas /// Features Editor and Julie Oatfield /// Staff Writer
PioLog staff members Katie Naphas and Julie Oatfield met up with history professor Khalil Johnson to discuss his beautiful dog, Xochi, and their long-term relationship. Sadly, Xochi did not join the interview.
Pioneer Log: How did you and Xochi meet?
Khalil Johnson: She found me when I was living on the Navajo Nation in 2005. She was cold and shivering outside my door. At night, the desert can drop to minus 8 degrees. In my memory it was raining, so … it was kind of possibly raining. I turned to my partner at the time, and I said, "We should take the dog inside," and she cautioned me that if I were to bring the dog inside it would never leave. And I was like, "No, no, no, we'll just take it to the shelter." And I take the dog inside and, uh, she stayed with me ever since.
PL: When she's not staying inside, what're Xochi's favorite travel spots?
KJ: I would say there are two places she loves: she loves her homeland of New Mexico, where she can run off-leash and chase horses and try to eat cow poop; and she also loves my parents' house, similarly, because they have a big backyard and she can just run around. She's free. Any place we can go where she can be off-leash and run around and chase stuff and smell things is a treat for her. Without her collar on, she looks like a seal. [laughs]
PL: Well, the cow poop leads to another question: what's Xochi's favorite non-pet food? Please don't say cow poop.
KJ: There are two things that she loves. One, of course, is bacon fat, so whenever I'm cooking bacon she's ON it. Which is, you know, stereotypical for a dog. But she also really loves cauliflower. Like, salivates, sits eagerly for particularly the stump of the cauliflower.
I'm not makin' that up. You can't make that up. I mean, she'll eat apples, but she LOVES cauliflower.
PL: Have you ever considered putting her in a shark costume because she looks like a seal, especially without her collar?
KJ: That would be ironic. But I think that's a good internet meme because she would look SO pathetic in the shark costume. But It would also torture her, so I'm not gonna do that.
PL: We're glad there's an anti-torture policy. Any political affiliations for Xochi?
KJ: Hm. She's from New Mexico, which is a Republican state, but she's from the Navajo Nation, which is overwhelmingly Democratic. She also was born poor and has benefited from social services, so I think she's probably a Democrat. In fact, a friend of mine got her a Barack Obama collar — said "dogs for Obama" — so I guess she's definitely a Democrat.
PL: How does Xochi–or how do the two of you–unwind after a long day?
KJ: She likes to go for walks of course. She and I together will go for a run in NW Portland. It's kinda great for me because it looks like she's smiling when we run so we're both like, "Yaaaaaaay!" You can quote me on that, if you'd like. Seven As.
PL: You've got it.

BkiUcTHxK7kjXIdG9vbz | At Ellington Air Force Base (originally called Ellington Field) in Houston, Texas, Mission Commander Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) practicing the moon landing with the Lunar Landing Training Vehicle (LLTV). Apollo 11 was the first space mission where humans set foot on another celestial body, the Moon. Launched from Launch Pad 39A at John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Merritt Island, Florida, on July 16, 1969, the Apollo 11 fired the third stage engines two and half hours after launch to leave Earth's gravitational pull. The mission was highlighted by the first lunar landing by human beings and Armstrong's descent from the Lunar Module (LM) to place his foot on the surface of the Moon. He and Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin (1930-) spent less than 22 hours on the Moon, including two and half hours outside Eagle, their Lunar Module. The crew, which also included Command Module Pilot Michael Collins (1930-), returned to Earth on July 24, 1969.

BkiUaPPxK0wg05VB4iA7 | THE HIT MEN RELEASES SINGLE 'YOU CAN'T FIGHT LOVE'
The Hit Men
The Hit Men are five brilliant musicians and singers who, throughout the 1960's, 70's, 80's and 90's, toured and recorded with some of the biggest names in the music business - huge stars from Frankie Valli and Carly Simon, to Tommy James, Carole King, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, Cheap Trick, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Barry Manilow, Rod Stewart, Blood Sweat & Tears, and many, many more. They are not a tribute act. They are not the former cast of a Broadway musical. They are the actual artists who helped rocket so many songs to the top of the Billboard charts.
They've just released a new album Don't Stop, featuring the lead single, "You Can't Fight Love."
They are: keyboardist and group founder Lee Shapiro, lead guitarist/vocalist Jimmy Ryan, bassist/vocalist Jeff Ganz, keyboardist, percussionist & vocalist Russ Velazquez and drummer and vocalist, Steve Murphy. You may not know their names, but you went to their concerts, heard them on the radio, watched them on TV, and bought their records. They have appeared on over eighty five albums, won multiple Gold and Platinum Recording Awards, Emmy nominations, Telly Awards, Clio Awards and more.
Since coming together in November 2010, this incomparable quintet has made their legacy of number one hits come to life like no other group. The reason is simple - The Hit Men are extraordinary players and singers as well as world-class entertainers -- but, most importantly, they were there when these songs were recorded, and they have the backstage, insider stories to prove it.
The Hit Men credentials, showmanship and sheer talent are unmatched by any other group in modern music. They deliver sizzling shows that combine hit after hit after hit with eye-popping videos and reminiscences born from their witnessing and making musical history.

BkiUgbjxK7IABLfxJbzw | I have been working with Ken Bloom, Mark Grover, and Greg Goddard of Mainscape Irrigation Operations concerning Novela's Irrigation system. Our goal is to greatly improve our irrigation distribution and save water. In 2014 Mainscape did similar work on our Novela front yards. Now our backyards need to be updated.
Today a lot of water is being blocked by plant material that reduces turf coverage. We will raise heads, lower heads, and straighten heads in every backyard. An important part of this project is that the stick risers that are in planter areas will be removed and install 6"pop up. It looks much nicer than the stick risers. An additional improvement is installing 12" pop ups in shrubs. When completed this is beneficial in a couple ways. First is you will not see the stick risers and improve efficiency for irrigation coverage. Also the hedge trimmers cannot cut them when they trim.
The Board has approved the proposal and with dry season coming (October) we will get these improvements completed. The cost does exceed our current Irrigation Repairs budget but we will cover this needed expense from our current cash surplus funds.
Your Novela Leadership Team believes that consistent communication empowers our Homeowners to be proud of our Novela Campus. We look forward to see everyone in the fall. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUe9DxK0iCl2n2AawA | The MSc in Art, Law and Business is a 15-month, full-time, cross-disciplinary postgraduate programme which equips you with an advanced understanding of international art markets. It is unique in combining three challenging and intensively taught components in Art History, Art Law and Art Business, whilst providing a dynamic learning experience in a professional environment at the heart of the art world.
The programme focuses on how the art market functions from both commercial and legal perspectives, whilst maintaining a critical and intellectual understanding of the art and artefacts around which the market turns.
The programme offers a high level of academic and critical understanding of art, art law, and art business, and directly networks you into professional practice. Many of the lectures and study visits are led by professional practitioners, such as commercial gallerists, lawyers, artists, and curators. You also have the benefit of an integrated work placement during the fourth term of study.
Creative and lively, the teaching and learning environment stimulates problem solving and original thinking through assignments based upon professional models of practice. In addition to a traditional rigorous academic foundation based on essays, reports, and examinations, you have the opportunity to create auction sales, assess art investment funds, and design curatorial projects for art fairs. You will also learn about established and emerging art markets through field work on international study trips to places such as Marrakech, Seoul, Rio de Janeiro, and Venice.
The programme attracts students who are passionate, committed, and hardworking from a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds worldwide. You will also become a part of the global Christie's alumni network and be able to meet a range of alumni working in the art world, both in London and abroad.
You are required to demonstrate genuine motivation for wanting to study the commercial art sector and should have obtained a degree preferably in one of the three disciplines studied on the course: history of art, law or business and economics.
Applications are encouraged from those wishing to change career, professionals, and mature students with experience of the art world.
English mother-tongue candidates should demonstrate knowledge of another language.
You should expect to show a capacity for sustained intense work and the ability to manage and organise your time.
The programme places Art History and object-based study at the centre of the experience. It consists of two full and ambitious modules taught across three terms. It combines postgraduate level theory and methodology with practical object-based study offering training in the professional practice of cataloguing works of art, an essential skill for those seeking to work as art specialists. The Art component is taught through lectures, seminars and study visits as well as specialist 'master classes' led by artists, curators, conservation specialists, commercial gallerists and specialists in the auction house.
This module provides a 'start-up' toolbox of ideas and approaches to study historical and contemporary art and visual culture.
The module works at the level of 'macro-analysis' providing critical awareness of the History of Art as a broad field of study and as a discourse. It equips students to understand how art work/cultural artefacts become carriers of meaning and value and to discriminate between alternative interpretations. Seminar topics and discussions draw on issues of ongoing debate.
Through direct and discursive engagement with art work and artefacts experienced in diverse contexts such as commercial galleries, art fairs, art studios, museums and exhibitions, students learn about different frameworks of validation and valuation of works of art. The module encourages students to take an informed and critical stance in relation to vital issues at the forefront of cultural debate in a globalised art world.
This module shifts in approach to 'micro-analysis' to study art works in terms of specific instances of conception, production, distribution and consumption. It offers the opportunity to study specific art works in a highly focused way in order to grasp art's dynamic relation to complex, 'living', cultural, historical, critical and commercial contexts. This module uses a range of current international Art Market categories as frameworks for case-study analysis.
Teaching and learning bring particular emphasis to professional techniques of enquiry, including systematic visual analysis and recording, provenance research and cataloguing of works of art and cultural artefacts. Practical workshops and handling sessions demonstrated by auction house specialists, conservation specialists, studio technicians and artists provide unique insight into a range of media and production techniques.
The Art Law component of the programme is designed to familiarise students with the fundamental legal principles that shape the global art market. The law component will be of great interest to students with a legal background, but is designed to be accessible to students who are new to the subject. Each term of Art Law study is designed to allow students to explore the roles of national and international legal frameworks impacting the movement of art in an increasingly globalised marketplace. Classroom lectures and seminar sessions are supplemented with visits from legal specialists lecturing on a variety of topics. Study will focus primarily on English law, with reference to international jurisdictions where appropriate.
Students are expected to lead class seminars, present on a variety of topics and engage in formal debates.
Assessment is in the form of in class and take home examinations.
In the first module, students will discover the legal framework of art market transactions. Students will study contract law to gain a thorough understanding of how contracts are formed and the various duties owed by each party to an art market transaction, while looking at the ways in which galleries and auctions houses conduct their transactions with artists and clients. Students will examine corporate regulation principles, allowing greater understanding of the legal structures governing the ways in which businesses are constructed and run within the marketplace. This module will additionally ask students to explore the increasingly debated role of regulation within the art market and begin their own assessment of the extent to which the art market is regulated or may benefit from further regulation.
In Art Law 2, students will switch their focus from art market transactions to legal standards relating to issues of creativity and authorship. Through study of intellectual property law, students will critically assess the roles of copyright, moral rights, and resale rights in the production and sale of artworks. This module provides students with fundamental knowledge about artists' rights related to their artistic output, and gives students the necessary skills to assess and analyse how those rights impact the trading of those works on the global and domestic markets. Students will also spend time critically assessing the role the law plays in addressing issues of authenticity,attribution, and fraud in the art world.
This module looks at various domestic and international legal frameworks in place impacting the movement of art between people and between countries. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of the aspects of direct and indirect taxation law that are most applicable to the art market, such as capital gains tax, inheritance tax, acceptance in lieu schemes, and VAT. This module will also provide valuable knowledge relating to international trading restrictions such as export controls relating to cultural heritage and international treaties such as CITES. Students will engage in in-depth explorations of issues relating to title and restitution, looking at the problems that arise when art is stolen, looted, or traded illicitly and examining the legal frameworks that exist in an effort to respond to those problems.
NB: The Art Law component does not earn students an LLM or other legal qualification.
The Business component consists of three modules focused on the practical and the critical understanding of the art markets and institutions, marketing in the art world, the auction process, and the most recent developments of the art markets.
This module is a fundamental component of the degree, designed to provide systematic and critical understanding of the art markets, their commercial and institutional players, and their dynamics. It also provides the methodological, practical and professional tools required to critically assess art markets, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
The first part of the module focuses on the macro- economic analysis of art markets. It enables students to identify demand/supply dynamics and discuss the role of the intermediaries (galleries, auction houses, etc.) and tackle key issues such as markets' segmentation, generation of value and determination of pricing of artworks.
The second part of this module is designed to provide a critical understanding of the main non-commercial art players, such as museums, private foundations and corporate collections and their interaction with art markets, in particular examining critically the process of constructing value and validation of art works/cultural artefacts in different institutional contexts.
This module brings together theory and practice, academic analysis and direct professional practice. It develops both practical and critical understanding of the process of preparing for an auction from the point of consignment through preparation to the management of the event itself, focusing on the role of the catalogue.
A specific component of this module is dedicated to the understanding of marketing theories and tools (in collaboration with SDA Bocconi Faculty) and their implementation in an art context.
This module fosters creative application of theoretical knowledge of art markets and a synthesis of academic, practical and professional experience gained within diverse art world contexts. It is designed to present and discuss the latest dynamics in the art markets, providing a critical understanding of the role played by external factors in determining changes in the art market, with particular reference to art as an investment vehicle,the introduction of IT technologies in the art market, and the emergence of new markets.
The lecture and seminar component is complemented by interactions with professionals from the financial world and from Christie's auction house, as well as international study visits to emerging markets.
This project is designed to bring together elements from the three pillars of the Master's degree in Art, Law and Business. This summative element of the programme builds on the range of academic and practical skills gained through the year.
The Single Object Catalogue provides a critical understanding of how an auction house builds a consignment proposal and provides an opportunity for students to employ similar professional skills, but advances the professional model with more academic and critical evaluation. Students must work autonomously to research and identify a commercially viable artwork or cultural artefact as the topic of their catalogue. The project incorporates an overview and critical analysis of a wide range of auction house processes and practice to give students the skills to evaluate the object from different perspectives: economic evaluation, selling strategy, critical art historical and contextual analysis, and legal assessment.
The final module requires students to synthesize critical, practical and professional knowledge and understanding obtained in all three areas of the programme and to demonstrate advanced knowledge of the art market. Students must work independently to formulate, research, and write a report reflecting new thought or innovation relevant to the global art world.
This research report is underpinned by the direct professional experience of the integrated internship.
The work placement at Christie's auction house is designed to develop new practical and professional skills whilst utilising and building upon any knowledge and skills already learnt from previous work and educational experiences. Students are expected to demonstrate professional behaviour over the course of the taught programme to prepare and qualify them for this placement.
The work placement feeds into the research report as it provides crucial professional insight into the dynamics of the art market, as well as invaluable primary resources and professional expertise.
Study trips are a key component of the hands-on approach that characterises Christie's Education. Carefully chosen destinations are the key to experiencing the variety of international art markets and creative art practices.

BkiUbfw4eIXguy2tN_-W | Shame. It was a gem.
Can anyone confirm that an Italian deli is taking its place?
she just didn't have the energy. too bad. she said she wouldn't close until she had someone to take it over, so maybe?
It's going to be an Italian deli, or so she said. We shall see.
An Italian deli would be great and would save me my weekly trips to Astoria or Arthur Avenue, but I'm not particularly optimistic. While I don't doubt that something that advertises itself as an Italian deli will open in that space, I'm skeptical that it will actually be an Italian deli. We don't really need something like JC Italian Deli again. I still have no idea what that place was trying to be, but it certainly wasn't an Italian deli by any stretch.
I am disappointed that Appettito is closing. While their collection of sausages was small, they were always quite good.
Take what over? Her lease?
Nooooo! My Napoleon cake! My rum cookies! Delicious salamis and pickles! Where will I get them now??!
ClydeM: If it does become Italian, can you imagine how successful it would be if an established high quality Italian Market like Sorriso's of Astoria replaced Appettito. Whoever would have thought that SAC's of Astoria would open in Jackson Heights.
something top of the line would be great. but sorriso is about five times the size of appetito -- which has no room to prepare food (they had a woman who brought in stuff she made in her home) and very little room for storage. we can hope for a good selection of meats and cheeses, and some packaged imports, but probably not a lot more.
It doesn't need to try and be like Sorriso, and someone with a modest bit of sense could put together something quite good in that space. For instance, a focus on high quality salumi and cheeses, with a few staples such as pasta as a bonus. There are stalls in the Arthur Avenue Retail Market, that are about the same size as Appittito that have a great selection. My favorite salumeria in Philly is even smaller but they have figured out how to maximize the space, and focus on high quality products (no Boars Head!).
Agreed, I have the same concern with a prospective "#italiandeli".
Shop keeper says the rent isn't to high- but the owner moved to jersey and couldn't be bothered with the headache... anyone want to take over? keeping the same supply chain ? Not sure if understand the situation completely but doesn't sound like a purely profit driven decision.
it's not a profit driven/rent issue. she was increasingly stressed and tired from being a one-woman show, so she threw in the towel. it's understandable. 70 hour weeks are killer.
That would be a perfect spot for a fish store.

BkiUbCQ5qsBB3HnuUsuT | Perseus Development Corp. randomly surveyed 3,634 blogs on eight leading blog-hosting services, estimating that 4.12 million blogs have been created on these services: Blog-City, BlogSpot, Diaryland, LiveJournal, Pitas, TypePad, Weblogger and Xanga.
Another highlight of the Perseus survey that John Larkin pointed out to me is that most blogs on blog-hosting services are abandoned very quickly.
"The most dramatic finding was that 66.0% of surveyed blogs had not been updated in two months, representing 2.72 million blogs that have been either permanently or temporarily abandoned.
The average duration of the remaining 1.63 million abandoned blogs was 126 days (almost four months). A surprising 132,000 blogs were abandoned after being maintained a year or more (the oldest abandoned blog surveyed had been maintained for 923 days)."
So 66% abandoned in four months? In ssmaller circles the percentage may be higher, especially with few of my friends fitting the profile of a typical blogger profile! Few of my friends write easily, and even fewer like to rant "publicly". But mostly, they've largely abandoned their blogs after experimenting with it, either lacking the information reporting/sharing instinct of a journalist, the self indulgence of a diarist or the passion of a geek willing to spend his free (and not so free time) in front of his computer.
I think its about enjoyment of writing mainly. Even for those with lots of interesting content most of these prefer jawing about their experiences over kopi, and writing is considered too much work. When we were undergraduates publishing our student magazine, The Mudskipper, it was not easy to get fellow students to write. But when we did get our hands on those who could, they did so fairly easily.

Customer location data leads to deeper level of insight
Behavioral analytics tell more about a person's true self than consumer data, according to Gravy Analytics CEO Jeff White, and are therefore key to data-driven decisions.
Eric Avidon, News Writer
Customer location data is a key element of understanding human behavior.
Consumer data can tell organizations plenty about potential customers, but it only reveals a piece of the puzzle. It tells them what those potential customers have purchased, but it doesn't tell them who those potential customers really are. Location data, meanwhile, reveals offline human activity -- going to concerts or ballgames beyond merely buying a song or a baseball cap, for example -- which in turn reveals more about a person's most significant interests.
And it's when organizations understand not just what an individual bought but can also get insight into why they bought it that sellers can better develop strategic initiatives.
Gravy Analytics, founded in 2011 and based in Dulles, Va., began with the premise that a potential customer's offline behavior is more important than their online behavior, and now offers location data as a service. The vendor uses anonymized location data and packages it into data sets that can be put to use by its customers.
Jeff White, Gravy's founder and chief executive officer, recently discussed why location data is so important to gaining a truer understanding of potential customers and how it can subsequently be used by all types of organizations to inform sales and marketing efforts.
In addition, he talked about specific use cases for location data, and even how location data is critical to the fight against the spread of COVID-19.
First, can you give me some background on Gravy Analytics and the service you provide?
Jeff White: The thesis when we got started was that the next frontier of understanding behavioral insights and intelligence was not where we go online but where we go offline, and that how we live our daily lives is a much stronger signal of who we are as consumers than anything we do in the online realm. That was the thesis, and as far as what service we provide, we effectively take the offline behaviors of consumers -- the places we go, the events we attend, the vendors we visit -- aggregate those up into behavioral analytics, and allow brands and marketers and advertisers to understand, target and interpret those behavioral analytics.
Why focus on location data as a specific niche?
White: If you think about the web cookie, seeing what information it could provide [and couldn't], we just felt there was a gap. For example, I want to be the person Facebook thinks I am -- swashbuckling, mountain-climbing, beer-guzzling, very adventuresome -- but that's not me. Clearly there was a gap and given the proliferation of smart devices and location-based services, location just seemed to be a great tool to allow us a true understanding of human behaviors and who we are. As an advertiser, as a brand, if you want to really speak to me then speak to me as the person as I am and not as the person Facebook thinks I am.
At its core, what is location data?
White: Effectively, we are collecting and aggregating permission-based location data when people use apps. That's just a signal, but derivative intelligence is really what's important, so on a monthly basis we collect and validate over a billion attendances on the back of that location data -- attendances to every commercial place of interest. Pre-COVID, it included all the events people would attend. It's then synthesized into cohort analysis. For example, there is a group of people who are yoga lovers, not because they buy yoga pants on Lululemon but because they go to yoga classes two or three times a week. That is a much stronger signal of intent and interest and passion than past purchase behavior.
What insights can organizations derive from customer location data that they can't get otherwise?
White: We think it's the closest signal to true information about consumers. For example, if I'm a wine producer and I want to find wine lovers, if someone goes online and searches for some of the best wines in Italy it may be a signal that they're a wine lover. If someone goes into Costco, and as part of their $400 basket they throw in a $12 bottle of Yellowtail, that's also a signal that they like wine. But if that wine producer can see all the people who over the last week went to a wine-tasting class or took a sommelier tour or vineyard tour, that's a much stronger signal. Also, there's a visceral nature to that experience, a recency to that engagement that makes me, as that brand or as that advertiser, much more able to penetrate the noise and have a communication-added dialogue with that person.
Are there certain types of organizations or are there certain industries for which customer location data is of particular benefit, or is it more a general marketing tool?
White: If you go back to the web cookie, the first use of the web cookie was being able to fill in a form, but the smart people started to see they could do personalizations and commerce. Certainly, marketing and advertising is a valid and prominent use case for location data, but it can also inform brands where their next retail location might be. It can inform a hospitality chain that's looking to alter their venue by looking at what category of restaurant people dine at when they leave, and then maybe the hospitality chain changes its own restaurant to be Italian or sushi. There's competitive intelligence where a brand or retailer believes they understand their customers at some level but may have a blind spot understanding who their competitor's customers are. With this kind of information they can capture that and then they can shape product strategy, location strategy, retail layout. All of this is informed, going back to the true kernel, by understanding consumer behaviors.
First, setting aside COVID-19 for a moment, can you walk me through an example of an organization using location data?
White: I'll go back to that wine example and pull that thread even further. Now that I understand who the people are who truly have an appreciation for wine -- they've taken time out of their day to actually go someplace like to a winery or on a vineyard tour -- I can do two things. One is I can certainly reach out to them, target them, speak to them in ways that I couldn't speak to a broad set of individuals. But also I can understand their other behavioral attributes to inform where I should do product placement, the types of retailers I should get involved with for distribution. I can understand where else these people go in terms of other places to put my product. I can understand what other interests and affinities these people have so I can co-market, co-sponsor. Maybe it turns out that the people who like my product also love Major League Baseball, and maybe I want to start advertising at ballgames. It goes back to the old adage that knowing your customer is never going to go out of style, and if that's true, it informs the entirety of the organization -- the product, supply chain, retail strategy, acquisition strategy. That core kernel of understanding your customers just feeds all of those much better.
And now relating location data to COVID-19, how can it be used by organizations fighting the spread of the pandemic?
White: We see this every day. At the core of what we do is mobility analytics -- where are people, in aggregated views, coming from and going and for how long? In a pandemic, the virus has its own mobility, it has its own hot spots, it has its own progression through communities. We, with location data and analytics, can understand the intersection of human mobility with virus transmission -- where are these hot spots occurring, who was there and where have they gone? We can then help to inform local healthcare workers, we can inform populations who may be at risk and not know it to get predictive. At the end of the day, this becomes a resource allocation issue. There aren't enough healthcare workers to go around, there isn't enough testing to go around, so how do we optimize the distribution of these resources? Location data can play a really important role there.
Is there anything else you'd like to add about location data?
White: One thing to make sure people understand is that this data is all aggregated and anonymized and there's no personal identifiable information. From a consumer side, you can sleep better at night knowing that it's anonymized. But from an intelligence standpoint, it's still very valuable.

BkiUb2XxK0wg05VB5_jp | This cake is an absolute favourite of mine to make! The method to make the cake is so simple and miraculously just uses one dish – a saucepan! The cake is rich, moist, yet light and most importantly – so delicious! The cake serves as a great base for so many different fillings. The raspberry buttercream and the ladygrey ganache is just one combination – get adventurous and try your own combinations!
Grease and two, 20cm cake tins.
Mix in the eggs and cherry brandy and pinch of salt.
Pour into prepared tins and bake for 1 and a half hours or until skewer comes out clean.
Cool cakes completely in tins.
Put the raspberries into a fine sieve over a bowl. Using the back of a wooden spoon or a spatula, press the raspberries through the sieve to extract all of the juice.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter until light and creamy.
Add in 2 cups of sifted icing sugar, the raspberry juice, the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Beat until creamy and even in colour. Continue adding the icing sugar until it is nice and thick, but still creamy. If you make it too thick add a little more juice (or milk or water), and if it is too think, keep on adding icing sugar until you reach desired consistency. You want it to be quite thick so it holds its own form.
Set aside, covered, at room temperature, until ready to assemble the cake.
Put the teabags and the cream together in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Remove from heat and let sit for over ten minutes to infuse. Squeeze out as much flavouring from the teabags as possible, and then discard the teabags.
Put the infused cream and the chocolate together in a saucepan and mix together over a low heat until fully incorporated.
Remove from the heat and mix in the butter until fully incorporated.
Put in the fridge to cool as you need the ganache to be quite stiff to spread in between both cakes.
Remove cakes from the tins and trim off the tops if required (I recommend trimming the bottom cake at least – this will give a much more even cake).
Smear the ganache over the centre of the bottom cake, making sure not to take the ganache to the edges as the weight of the top cake will finish of the spreading process.
Gently put the top cake on the bottom cake (make sure you remember to take off the baking paper).
Using a palette knife, smear a good amount of buttercream on the top of the cake, and using gravity, gradually smear the butter cream around the cake working from top to bottom.
Scrape the sides of the cake to expose the sides of the cake in places.
Decorate with a generous handful or raspberries, scattered rose petals and roses, and finish off with a dusting of icing sugar!
So yummy – everyone loves this cake! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUfUs5qhLBsCDnQqVJ | I know, I know, I am long over due for an update. Life has been hectic though...between being sick, wanting to pull my hair out at work and getting ready for the holidays we have had little time to do anything exciting at all.
Well, last weekend I decided I was going shopping. I had money to spend, and darn it, I wanted a Coach bag! So off to Dubai Mall we went!
So, now I am the proud owner of a brand new leather smelling Coach bag and I LOVE it!! I also treated myself to a pair of super nice jeans (they are seriously like wearing sweatpants - so comfortable!) and some macarons when Bryn discovered a Pierre Herme kiosk in an upscale department store. All in all it was an extremely successful shopping day! I doubt I will get to splurge like that again anytime soon, but it was so much fun to pretend to be rich for a day.
Anyways, here are some pictures from the trip and of my purchases (some instagram, some iPad, some camera shots).
AND...in 3 days we fly off to Europe!!! The final destination is still a surprise, if you can believe it! | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUf4vxK7Tt6AlxGbdU | Franz Arnold von Merveldt (Taufname: Franz Arnold Alexander Dietrich) (* 13. Februar 1713 in Münster; † 17. November 1765 ebenda) war Domherr in Münster und Amtsdroste in Wolbeck.
Leben
Herkunft und Familie
Franz Arnold von Merveldt wuchs als Sohn des Ferdinand Dietrich von Merveldt und seiner Gemahlin Josefa Maria Anna von Westerholt zu Lembeck (1693–1762) mit seinen Geschwistern Burchard Alexander, Clemens August, Maximilian Ferdinand, Hermann Adolf (* 1718, Malteserorden) und Sophie Ludovica Agnes (1730–1810, ⚭ 10. Februar 1748 Wilhelm Ferdinand von Galen) in der uralten westfälischen Adelsfamilie von Merveldt auf. Die Herren von Merveldt zählten zum Uradel und zu eines der ältesten Geschlechter im Münsterland.
Am 4. Oktober 1747 heiratete Franz Arnold die Reichsfreiin Sophia Franziska Theresia von Fürstenberg (1723–1769).
Werdegang und Wirken
Mit dem Erhalt der Tonsur am Weihnachtstag 1728 wurde Franz Arnold auf ein geistliches Leben vorbereitet. Der Turnar, sein Onkel Adolf Bernhard von Merveldt zu Westerwinkel, verlieh ihm 1730 eine Dompräbende, auf die er 1746 zugunsten seines Bruders Burchard Alexander verzichtete. Am 8. Oktober 1731 schrieb er sich an der Universität Orléans ein und besetzte die Stelle des Prokurators.
Am 10. Mai 1743 wurde er seinem Vater im Amt des Drosten zu Wolbeck beigeordnet und schließlich am 11. August 1743 zum Drosten bestallt.

BkiUddo4eIXhxFYKU7aH | Oiling System 101: To Restrict or Not to Restrict?
By Tire Review Staff
Factory stock engine blocks were designed to be mass-produced economically and to operate in a passenger car environment. Original equipment oiling systems are typically restrictive and feed oil to the top of the engine first. The common practice has been to use a high-volume oil pump to offset these shortcomings and help the main bearings get more oil to survive.
Dart aftermarket blocks have been designed with a less restrictive oil system, which feeds oil to the main bearings first; a "priority main" oiling system. Many of us in this industry are inclined to use a high-volume oil pump due to history. However, this causes excessive oil to the top of the engine. Restrictors are then used in the lifter galleys to reduce the amount of oil to the top.
- Do Airless Tires Mean TPMS is a Thing of the Past?
- Front Brake Pads and Rotors: Do Your Prices Meet Market Averages?
- Tips for Turning Off the TPMS Light
Modern lifter designs typically have small oiling orifices, which restrict the oil reaching the top of the engine. Using a standard-volume oil pump with current lifter designs and the Dart priority-main oiling system eliminates the need for restrictors, simplifying engine assembly and taking the guess work out of oiling system design.
Using a standard oil pump and today's lifters, without restrictors, makes engine assembly easier and eliminates the guess work of determining restrictor size.

The R1234yf refrigerant that will be required in all new cars next year has actually been found in vehicles since 2014 when Chrysler began using it in the Dodge Demon and Jeep Trackhawk, among others.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to tell with certainty how many vehicles already have R1234yf due to the phasing in the process over the past 10 years – some estimate it is already well over 50 million vehicles. It is not a question of if, but when you'll have to deal with this refrigerant. While working on R1234yf systems is not that different from the R134a variety in operation or theory, identifying the refrigerant and recharging the system has some new twists.

How Can Cars Communicate With Your Shop Equipment?
OEMs do not just manufacture vehicles out of steel, rubber and plastic. They are producing code for software or firmware at a staggering rate. This code is hardly ever finished. As vehicles in the field rack up the miles, they will update the code to cure problems the engineers did not originally anticipate. Related Articles

BkiUdf85qg5A57oeApl1 | Ancient Ruins Worth a Visit
Building techniques are always improving. But if we cast our eye back a couple of thousand years, we can really marvel at how talented our building ancestors were! Here we've found some of the best ancient ruins still standing.
Historians believe Stonehenge was built between 3000BC to 2000BC. These Neolithic DIYers created a masterpiece. The monuments entrance faces the sun on the day of the summer solstice. So some believe was used as a calendar by early astronomers!

2. Coliseum
Building began at the Coliseum between 73-75AD. The creators used all the latest Roman arts, engineering and architecture techniques of the time. One of which was the use of concrete! Which allowed these Roman Handy Andys to build quickly & efficiently.

4. Great Pyramids of Giza
These superb buildings still puzzle many how they were actually built. It is believed they were built in 2560 BC. There is huge debate whether stones were dragged, lifted or rolled into place.

5. Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is over 21,000km long! It was built over 2,300 years ago. Soldiers, prisoners and peasants all contributed to building the Great Wall. It was built using brick, wood and clay.

6. Newgrange
Newgrange was constructed over 5000 years ago. It is estimated over 200,000 tons of materials was used in the creation of the site. And that it took over 30 years to construct!

8. Cappadocia
Located in Turkey, Cappadocia is famous for its "Fairy Chimney" landscape. This unique landscape and its ruins have been created by volcanic activity and erosion. The soft but firm rock has enabled people to build houses, monasteries and underground cities.

BkiUeFE4eIOjSHWcwLvc | Looking for a great way to relax your mind, body and spirit?
Reiki is a gentle energy balancing system that induces a state of peace and joy in the body, mind and spirit. One can think of it as a massage for the soul. It is so relaxing that just one hour of treatment is equivalent to four hours of sleep.
Yin Yoga is a passive yet intense practice that prepares one for the stillness of meditation. The extended hold of the poses in yin yoga allow the Reiki energy to be given to each student at least once during the class. This speciality class will weave the Reiki energy within the yoga practice to help you go deeper into relaxation and bliss.
The extended hold of Yin Yoga poses apply moderate pressure to the connective tissues: the tendons, fascia, and ligaments restoring elasticity and flexibility. On an energetic level, Yin enhances the flow of prana, or the life force, in the tissues around the joints resulting in better organ health, immunity, and emotional stability.
A more meditative approach to yoga, Yin aims at cultivating awareness of one's inner silence and stillness.
Each student will receive generous doses of individual Reiki. Treating multiple parts of the body to create physical and energetic balance, this deep inner healing is further supported by the soothing properties Healing Crystals and Aromatherapy.
A style of yoga that incorporates movement from pose to pose. Focus is on full body strengthening and flexibility through standing poses. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUgCzxK1yAga6Juvj7 | Pundits all too often call political fiascos "circuses." But rarely does a political class oblige by providing several rings of entertainment at once. Such has been the British Conservative government's attempts to leave the European Union by April 12.
Meanwhile, the Tories under Prime Minister Theresa May plunge into one melodrama after another. The British Labour Party under socialist Jeremy Corbyn has vacillated and equivocated over Brexit. As for the British public, their trust in Westminster has dissipated dramatically since the 52%-48% referendum to leave nearly three years ago.
To get an up-to-date analysis of Brexit, please join Alexander Downer, former foreign minister (1996-07) and high commissioner in Britain (2013-18) and Tim Montgomerie, founder of ConservativeHome, a centre-right political blog in the UK, and former editorial page editor of The Times in conversation with our own Tom Switzer.

BkiUaQLxK5YsWOzBAA-s | The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. has fined brokerage firm Securities America for failing to supervise its brokers' sales of a type of short-term variable annuity product that could have resulted in investors' purchases of unsuitable expensive share classes. FINRA said that the lack of supervision raised concerns and as a result, the regulator issued a $175,000 fine.
Securities America brokers violated or overlooked suitability concerns related to the share classes of the variable annuities being sold between August 2014 and January 2016. During this period, Securities America sold B-share VA contracts, the most commonly sold share class, and L-share contracts, which are more expensive because they have relatively short surrender periods and investors pay a higher fee in exchange for increased liquidity.
Securities America received approximately $53 million from the variable annuity sales, including $6.6 million from the sale of 1,904 L-share contracts. FINRA is questioning whether investors should have been sold the more expensive L-shares in the first place, raising concerns of suitability and lack of supervision.
Based on a history of industry-wide misrepresentation, high-commission products are often the target for misconduct by brokers and their affiliated firms.

BkiUdQ44uzlh2Xfbx1L0 | Q: How can I speed this routine up? I have the following code that needs to run at 25fps or better which we can at the moment. Eventually we will be using HD video so this will need to be optimized more to accomodate.
Is there any way I can optimize this method?
public unsafe void OverlayImage(Bitmap overlay, Bitmap background, Bitmap output)
{
Rectangle lrEntire = new Rectangle(new Point(), background.Size);
BitmapData bdBack = background.LockBits(lrEntire, ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, background.PixelFormat);
BitmapData bdOverlay = overlay.LockBits(lrEntire, ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, overlay.PixelFormat);
BitmapData bdOut = output.LockBits(lrEntire, ImageLockMode.WriteOnly, output.PixelFormat);
uint* pBack = (uint*) bdBack.Scan0;
uint* pOverlay = (uint*) bdOverlay.Scan0;
uint* pOut = (uint*) bdOut.Scan0;
for (int luiToProcess = (bdBack.Height*bdBack.Stride) >> 2; luiToProcess != 0; luiToProcess--)
{
//get each pixel component
uint red = (*pBack & 0x00ff0000) >> 16; // red color component
uint green = (*pBack & 0x0000ff00) >> 8; // green color component
uint blue = *pBack & 0x000000ff; // blue color component
uint oalpha = (*pOverlay & 0xff000000) >> 24;
uint ored = (*pOverlay & 0x00ff0000) >> 16; // red color component
uint ogreen = (*pOverlay & 0x0000ff00) >> 8; // green color component
uint oblue = *pOverlay & 0x000000ff; // blue color component
//get each pixel color component
uint rOut = (red*(255 - oalpha) + (ored*oalpha))/255;
uint gOut = (green*(255 - oalpha) + (ogreen*oalpha))/255;
uint bOut = (blue*(255 - oalpha) + (oblue*oalpha))/255;
*pOut = bOut | gOut << 8 | rOut << 16 | 0x00 << 24;
//move to the next pixel
pBack++;
pOverlay++;
pOut++;
}
overlay.UnlockBits(bdOverlay);
background.UnlockBits(bdBack);
output.UnlockBits(bdOut);
}
A: Warning: Long answer, lots of numbers.
Short version: It depends on your overlays whether the code below will almost double your framerate..
Looking at the posted code a couple of things come to mind:
*
*As the color channels are bytes is seems to be more natural to treat them as such instead of all the masking and shifting, cheap as it may be..
*you do quite a few calculations with oalpha; unless you expect it to mostly be unequal 255 or 0 extra branches would save some multiplications..(6 per such pixel)
*since it is not shown just how you call the routine you may already doing it, but this kind of thing begs for parallel processing; if you get 25fps on one core HD shouldn't be a problem on a multicore machine with even sonething as simple as a Parallel.For will multiply your output..
*Additionally there is the option of using Lockbits & Mashalling instead of unsafe; not sure if that'll be faster, but I guess I will write a benchmark to do some tests..
BTW: There is an error in your code, afaiks, I think you need to change this
*pOut = bOut | gOut << 8 | rOut << 16 | 0x00 << 24;
to this, or else the output has an alpha channel = 0
*pOut = (bOut | gOut << 8 | rOut << 16 ) | 0xff000000;
Or you may want to calculate the final alpha..
Update 1: First tests show your code to be a good deal faster (~2x) than a Lockbits & Mashalling` version, unless I messed it up..) so I'll ignore #4 from now on..
Update 2:
Preliminary numbers:
Running your code on the UI thread (!) of an i7-3770T 2.5GHz, W8.1 64
*
*QVGA_size (320x240) 666,7 fps
*NTSC_size (720x480) 161,3 fps
*HR_size (1280x720) 64,1 fps
*HD_size (1920x1080) 29,2 fps
Update 3:
Running DrawImage instead:
*
*QVGA_size (320x240) 641,0 fps
*NTSC_size (720x480) 194,2 fps
*HR_size (1280x720) 77,2 fps
*HD_size (1920x1080) 33,4 fps
using this code:
public void DrawImage(Bitmap overlay, Bitmap background, Bitmap output)
{
overlay.SetResolution(96, 96);
background.SetResolution(96, 96);
output.SetResolution(96, 96);
using (Graphics G = Graphics.FromImage(output) )
{
G.DrawImage(background, 0, 0);
G.CompositingMode = CompositingMode.SourceOver;
G.DrawImage(overlay, 0, 0);
}
}
Update 4:
I have now tried a few more things and can say
*
*using bytes instead of int32 makes the code cleaner imo, but doesn't change its speed so point #1 isn't important
*if all your pixels have alpha-blending and you will always do this kind of blending, using DrawImage will be only fractionally faster
*as for #2: Optimizing for alpha=0 and alpha=255 can make a huge difference, depending on the percentage of pixels with alpha-blending (ie pixels where 0 > alpha < 255), so unless most of your pixels will have an alpha-blending this kind of optimization can almost double the framerate:
public unsafe void OverlayImage3(Bitmap overlay, Bitmap background, Bitmap output)
{
Rectangle lrEntire = new Rectangle(new Point(), background.Size);
BitmapData bdBack = background.LockBits(lrEntire,
ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, background.PixelFormat);
BitmapData bdOverlay = overlay.LockBits(lrEntire,
ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, overlay.PixelFormat);
BitmapData bdOut = output.LockBits(lrEntire,
ImageLockMode.WriteOnly, output.PixelFormat);
byte* pBack = (byte*)bdBack.Scan0;
byte* pOverlay = (byte*)bdOverlay.Scan0;
byte* pOut = (byte*)bdOut.Scan0;
for (int luiToProcess = (bdBack.Height * bdBack.Stride) >> 2;
luiToProcess > 0; luiToProcess--)
{
//get each pixel component
byte red = *(pBack + 2);
byte green = *(pBack + 1);
byte blue = *(pBack + 0);
byte oalpha = *(pOverlay + 3);
byte ored = *(pOverlay + 2);
byte ogreen = *(pOverlay + 1);
byte oblue = *(pOverlay + 0);
//get each pixel color component
byte rOut, gOut, bOut;
if (oalpha == 255)
{ rOut = ored; gOut = ogreen; bOut = oblue; }
else if (oalpha == 0)
{ rOut = red; gOut = green; bOut = blue; }
else
{
rOut = (byte)((red * (255 - oalpha) + (ored * oalpha)) / 255);
gOut = (byte)((green * (255 - oalpha) + (ogreen * oalpha)) / 255);
bOut = (byte)((blue * (255 - oalpha) + (oblue * oalpha)) / 255);
}
*(pOut + 3) = 0xff;
*(pOut + 2) = rOut;
*(pOut + 1) = gOut;
*(pOut + 0) = bOut;
//move to the next pixel
pBack += 4; pOverlay += 4; pOut += 4;
}
A few more numbers:
*
*OverlayImage3 with 5% of all pixel having alpha blending
*QVGA_size (320x240) 1.282,1 fps
*NTSC_size (720x480) 320,5 fps
*HR_size (1280x720) 114,3 fps
*HD_size (1920x1080) 52,1 fps
*OverlayImage3 with 60% of all pixel having alpha blending
*QVGA_size (320x240) 917,4 fps
*NTSC_size (720x480) 256,4 fps
*HR_size (1280x720) 98,5 fps
*HD_size (1920x1080) 46,7 fps
*OverlayImage3 with 95% of all pixel having alpha blending
*QVGA_size (320x240) 714,3 fps
*NTSC_size (720x480) 220,8 fps
*HR_size (1280x720) 84,2 fps
*HD_size (1920x1080) 36,6 fps
DrawImage does profit from lack of alpha-blending, too:
*
*DrawImage with 5% of all pixel having alpha blending
*QVGA_size (320x240) 584,8 fps
*NTSC_size (720x480) 220,8 fps
*HR_size (1280x720) 100,0 fps
*HD_size (1920x1080) 41,8 fps
*DrawImage with 95% of all pixel having alpha blending
*QVGA_size (320x240) 534,8 fps
*NTSC_size (720x480) 200,4 fps
*HR_size (1280x720) 73,3 fps
*HD_size (1920x1080) 33,6 fps
Point #3, parallel processing will help aditionally, obviously, depending on your hardware.
Conclusion: I don't know your current resolution, but going from SD to HD will take 5-6x longer across all tests, so if you only just can do 25fps now you will need more than the code above; you'll need parallel processing, I'd say..

BkiUdwI5qdmB64sMA4qC | The discussion of the seven seals begins in Revelation chapter 6. Remember from my introduction, that Revelation is symbolic of actual events. Therefore, each "seal" is a perioid of time when significant events in history occurred. With this in mind, let's dive into the first seal.
The Four Horsemen. Art used by Pat Marvenko Smith, copyright 1992.
The first seal represents the golden era of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire was established when Julius Caesar Augustus defeated Egypt in the Battle of Actium on September 2, 31 B.C. Augustus was later crowned the first emperor of Rome on January 16, 27 B.C.. The emperor after Augustus was Tiberius who reigned during the life of Jesus and is mentioned in Luke 3:1. For the next several hundred years, Rome rapidly expanded its empire reaching Asia and Africa. It enjoyed power and wealth as new roads, towns, and cities were built. However, over time, this power began to corrupt Rome, and its emperors went from bad to worse. This brings us to the next seal.
The second seal represents the fall of the Roman empire. From 193-284 A.D., the Roman empire began to decline due to poor leadership. This began with emperor Septimius Severus who turned Rome into a military dictatorship. He replaced the imperial guard with 50,000 of his own men. He also ordered the executions of many Roman Senators on charges of corruption and conspiracy against him, again replacing them with his own men. Severus also persecuted Christians, along with Maximinus Thrax, Decius, and Valerian during this period. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdXo5qoaAws5JX2wc | Racism remains "a blight" on society, US President Barack Obama says, after the killing of nine African-Americans in a South Carolina church.
Police are treating the killings at the church in Charleston on Wednesday night as a hate crime.
Earlier, Dylann Roof, 21, appeared in court to face nine murder charges.
He showed no emotion as relatives of the victims addressed him directly. "I forgive you," said one victim's daughter, fighting back tears.
Speaking in San Francisco, Mr Obama said: "The apparent motivations of the shooter remind us that racism remains a blight that we have to combat together.
"We have made great progress, but we have to be vigilant because it still lingers.
"And when it's poisoning the minds of young people, it betrays our ideals and tears our democracy apart."
He said it was "an expression of faith that is unimaginable but that reflects the goodness of the American people".
Meanwhile, one of Mr Roof's friends, Christon Scriven, told the BBC's Rajini Vaidyanathan that Mr Roof had considered a university as a potential target.
Mr Scriven said Mr Roof "wanted to shoot that school up, UCA University of Charleston. It's three miles up the street from that church".
But Mr Scriven, who is black, did not think Mr Roof would actually follow through.
"How do you take it serious?" he said. "How many friends do you have in your lifetime that's killed somebody?"
Mr Roof never showed signs of racism, Mr Scriven said.
Media captionDylann Roof's friend, Christon Scriven, said he "never said anything racist, never treated me any different"
Mr Obama also called for a new debate on gun control, and pushed Congress to follow public opinion.
"It's not enough for us to express sympathy; we have to take action," he said.
A steady stream of people also brought flowers to place at a memorial in front of the church.
The Roof family earlier released a statement through their lawyer.
"Words cannot express our shock, grief and disbelief as to what happened that night. We are devastated and saddened by what occurred," the family wrote.
"We have all been touched by the moving words from the victims' families offering God's forgiveness and love in the face of such horrible suffering."
In court in Charleston on Friday afternoon, Mr Roof spoke to confirm his name, age and address and said he was unemployed.
A woman who identified herself as the daughter of Ethel Lance said: "You took something very precious from me. I will never talk to her ever again.
"I will never be able to hold her again, but I forgive you. And [may God] have mercy on your soul."
The African-American church has a deep history of forgiveness rooted in faith and tied into the history of white supremacy in the US, writes journalist Adam Harris.
The ability to forgive has emerged as both an act of mercy and a tool against oppression.
Martin Luther King, himself a reverend, famously said: "We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.
Also speaking in court was Felecia Sanders, who survived the attack on Wednesday night by playing dead. Her son, Tywanza, was fatally wounded.
"We welcomed you Wednesday night in our Bible study with open arms.
"You have killed some of the most beautifulest people that I know. Every fibre in my body hurts ... and I'll never be the same," she said to Mr Roof, who appeared via a video feed.
Court documents have revealed new details about the shooting.
Mr Roof entered the church just after 20:00 local time (01:00 BST) on Wednesday night and remained with the worshippers for nearly an hour before launching his attack.
All of the victims were hit multiple times, the documents said.
Before leaving, Mr Roof stood over one person who was not shot and "uttered a racially inflammatory statement".
That person has not been named, and has been described only as a "witness" in the court documents.
Mr Roof has been remanded in custody. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

How To Use Joplin In A Sentence
When you get there, a jazz group is quietly playing Scott Joplin to an appreciative audience lounging on the grass.
It doesn't require a great leap of imagination to detect what Barbra Streisand, Janis Joplin, Carly Simon and his second wife, Rita Coolidge, saw in him.
Janis Joplin is the only artist at the top of her game; most of the other groups give lackluster and bland performances of their songs.
Picture your humble narrator reading a book, grooving to Janis Joplin being played over the speakers, nursing a cup of coffee and digging into a fantastic chicken pesto crepe, and doing his best to resist the potatoes with sour cream.
Listen now as Joshua Rifkin plays Joplin's " Maple Leaf Rag
I got on the phone to Inspector Joplin at Scotland Yard.
It definitely puts his performances of Scott Joplin's rags in a different light!
Joplin was a thin and weedy boy, who seemed to always be wearing a plain white shirt and simple trousers, and the same gray cloak draped over his shoulder. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdyU25V5i-i-xnwYa | Hebrew Character in Nanquidno Valley by South West Coast Path
by Claire Ogden on 23 March 2011 with No Comments
A Hebrew Character (Orthosia gothica) moth was seen nectaring on sallow blossom during the day in the Nanquidno Valley near Land's End in Cornwall. It was too far away to photograph so this image is from our library.
Insight: This common moth is found throughout most of the UK between March and April. It is attracted to light and can often be seen feeding at sallow blossoms at night.
The scientific name refers to the black mark on its forewing that resembles a Gothic arch, though as Emmet says "this looks more Norman than Gothic"! The English name also refers to the black mark, noting its similiarity to the letter 'Nun' in the Hebrew alphabet.
In a small percentage of specimens, most frequently in the North, this mark is not black but of a similar colour to the brown shades of the rest of the wing making it far less obvious.

BkiUdJ05qhDAClUdRhQ8 | Kylie Cracknell and Rebecca Perkins perform "Not About Socks," one of the four plays written by students for Gender Awareness Week.
The Foreplays event was presented on March 13 during Gender Awareness Week in the Kassab Recital Hall where students were invited to see plays written by FMU students meant to educate through romantic themes.
Professors of English John Tuttle and Pamela Rooks introduced the event. Rooks informed audience members about Gender Awareness Week and future events which would approach topics similar to ones addressed by the plays.
Writer and director of "Wish You Were Here," Jackie Wilcox said she wrote the play to highlight the struggles people have with moving on from a person they once cared about.
Anna Patton, writer of "I Like It Sweet," said she wrote a play centered on domestic violence.
Garrett Fuller, writer of "A Ship to Wreck," said he had more than one reason to write a play for this event.
Fuller said he hoped students could learn a lot from his play about the problems college students face and how to overcome them.
Jake Pack, junior history major and actor in "I Like It Sweet," said this is not the first time he participated in this event and that it probably won't be the last time.
Alexis Haley, junior education major, said the play brought a lot of different perspectives on love and relationships.
"All of the plays were all very unique and they each gave a different perspective on relationships in general," Haley said.
After introductions from Tuttle and Rooks, the first play "Not About Socks," written and directed by Shari Tingle, began. FMU students Kylie Cracknell and Rebecca Perkins performed the play. Between the plays, Rachel Spear, assistant professor of English and coordinator of English composition, gave brief talks about the background of the event.
"I Like It Sweet," written by Anna Patton and directed by Jon Tuttle, was the second play of the evening. The cast of "I Like It Sweet" included Dani Isgett, Jake Pack and Melissa Gragg. Jackie Wilcox wrote and directed the third play, "Wish You Were Here." The cast of "Wish You Were Here" included Noah Pace, Sabrina Gilbertson and Ashley Krause. The final play of the event was "A Ship to Wreck," written by Garrett Fuller and directed by Rachel Spear. The cast of "A Ship to Wreck" included Lauren Mansey and Morgan Calcutt.
After the final play, refreshments were served for the cast members, writers, directors and audience members to mingle and discuss the plays. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
