Harnessing Peacocks is the third novel by Mary Wesley, published in 1985 when the author was 73 years old. In 1992 it was adapted for television.
Plot summary[edit]
As a baby, Hebe lost her parents in an air crash; her grandparents have brought her up. When she, to her surprise, learns that she is pregnant, her grandparents and older siblings arrange an abortion to eliminate the social nuisance. Hebe overhears their plans and flees her grandparents' home for good.
Twelve years later Hebe is living alone in a small town in the West Country and her son, Silas, is attending a posh private school. To make a living Hebe is working as a cook for elderly ladies and supplementing the income by sleeping with their sons and sons-in-law.
In the meantime forces threaten her lucrative and well structured life. Silas's father (unknown to Hebe) is looking for her; Silas is on vacation with the sons of one of her clients; the local hatter falls in love with Hebe; Silas hates his school; one of her clients wants to marry her and begins stalking her; and Hebe's grandparents become involved in a road accident.
List of characters[edit]

- Rory Grant: a local hatter, in love with Hebe
- Louisa Fox: One of Hebe's old lady employers, also Rory Grant's aunt
- Hannah Somerton: a friend of Hebe who lives in the same street
- Giles: Hannah Somerton's son
- George Scoop: a dentist, Hannah Somerton's boyfriend

- Alison Duff: Mungo's wife

- Jennifer and Julian Reeves: Michael Reeves's rich parents, they invite Silas to join them on their holidays
- Eli and Patsy Drew: an American couple with whom Alison has an affair
- Terry: One of Hebe's former and satisfied clients
TV Adaptation[edit]
Harnessing Peacocks was adapted for TV in 1992, directed by James Cellan Jones and starring Serena Scott Thomas as Hebe.
Thomas Hinde of the Sunday Telegraph described the novel as 'Delightful,intelligent entertainment'. Susan Hill of Good Housekeeping goes on to praise the authour, 'Mary Weasley goes from strenght to strenght...She has a great zest for life...The book is tremendously lively, very funny, spirited'.
One of Wesley's major fictional themes is the affirmation of illegitimacy which appear repeatedly in her works. When Hebe becomes pregnant as a teenager her family arrange for her to have an abortion. However, Hebe wants to keep her baby and to do so she must flee her grandparents´ house, and her flight marks the definitive break with her family.
The heroines in Wesley's novels always have a complicated relationship with their families. The older generation will often appear class conscious and racist. When Hebe, to her surprise, learns that she is pregnant, her grandfather's reaction is: "Who is the man?... A long-haired layabout...Probably a Communist...Must have an abortion...Might be black".[1] Hebe's family is not concerned about her or the child she is expecting; what they are concerned about is the social embarrassment and nuisance a pregnancy will bring.
Possible Biographical References[edit]
Mary Wesley always rejected the suggestion of any connection between her own personal life and her fiction.[2] However, she identified the appalling grandparents in Harnessing Peacocks, who bully the pregnant Hebe, as the nearest she came to a portrait of her own parents in old age.[3]

The RKW Competence Centre has sponsored three German companies from the cleantech sector to participate in the international Cleantech Open Global Ideas Challenge in the USA at the beginning of February 2017.
The RKW Competence Centre, a nationwide coordinating centre for Global Entrepreneurship Week Germany ("Gründerwoche Deutschland"), selected the three companies in cooperation with the StartGreen Award. As the German champions, they receive assistance for their journey to the competition finals, which will take place as part of Cleantech Week from 7-9 February 2017 in San Francisco.
A total of 85 candidates applied for the Cleantech Open Global Ideas Challenge. Of the 14 finalists, the following three companies made it to the top – not only thanks to their business ideas, but also because of their focus on expanding their businesses to include international markets.
Hyperion Energy UG from Düsseldorf plans and builds solar thermal power plants that can produce electricity all year round at a low cost. The sun's rays are directed at a central receiver with the help of mirror panels. The resulting heat of up to 1000 °C can be accumulated in a specially designed system and retrieved to produce electricity when needed.
The proposal includes feasibility studies, support during the approval process, securing investors and industry partners, and project execution and supervision of power plant operations.
Interpanel GmbH i.G. from Crossen develops, produces and distributes ceiling and wall systems. For the first time ever, their modular systems, which can be integrated into existing or new infrastructures, enable long-lasting thermoregulation of surfaces without condensation. This allows for high-performance and hygienic tempering of building components.
intrapore UG from Essen can clean contaminated groundwater and soil with the help of nanoparticle and microparticle-based cleaning methods. The company is a consultant for remediation task forces, consulting companies and authorities both domestic and abroad, and it also plans the application of nanoparticles at the respective locations, supplies the particles and performs the application.
The Cleantech Open Global Ideas Challenge is a competition that takes place as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week, which is organised by Cleantech Open Accelerator.

Take a look at the brilliant reviews our students have given Ma Baker. The proof is also in the smiles of these successful bread makers. Ma Baker's Bread Classes are listed by Trip Advisor as one of the Top 5 classes to do in London, with over 200 five star reviews. Take a Bread Class. 200 people cant be wrong !
Myself and my boyfriend attended a Saturday Sourdough bread class with Liz Wilson at her lovely London home. It was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. I feel I've learnt life skills that will stand to me. Liz made every fact and tip so accessible that it took the intimidation out of baking in a really natural way. We came away with 4 beautiful loaves each and wonderful memories. Highly recommended!
Lynda - April 2017
I had previously attempted to make a sourdough loaf with very disappointing results. To have had the opportunity to spend the day with like-minded people and such s great tutor as Liz Wilson was brilliant and highly recommended. The output of the day was a superb loaf; Liz explained all the steps along the way carefully and clearly. It was so easy and I've started my first solo loaf with my new skills.
I couldn't recommend this course enough if you're interested in learning more about baking with sourdough.
Oh, and we didn't just bake the one loaf. Came away with 5 loaves plus also some really tasty crackers which were surprisingly made with sourdough.
The focaccia was a revelation and truly delicious and oh so easy.
Matthew - April 2017
My son bought me this experience for Christmas. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would recommend it to anyone interested in baking, whatever level they are at as a baker. I learnt so much, Liz is friendly and gives so much attention to her students. Gorgeous, different types of Italian bread, tea, biscuits and lunch included. There were only 3 students, we all loved it. Alison - April 2017
My husband and I had such a fun day with Liz, aka Ma Baker. We were welcomed by Liz with tea and coffee and chatted with her and the others while flicking through inspiring bread and baking books. Then we got to learning how to make bread, which we had never done before. Liz made the whole process so accessible, clear and friendly. She is an excellent teacher and her welcoming and friendly manner made everyone feel at ease. It was obvious she has a wealth of knowledge and a real passion for baking and sharing her knowledge. We had lots of bread, recipes and tips to take home with us and are determined to never eat supermarket bread again!
Shai - April 2017
This was a birthday gift and I was a little apprehensive about attending, I shouldn't have been. This was a superb way to learn the basics of bread making. Liz is a wonderful teacher whose passion for bread is obvious and infectious. But what made the day was the friendly relaxed atmosphere. A class of just 4 were made to feel at ease and encouraged to learn. We were greeted with a cuppa at 11am and by 3 pm we were unanimous in our appreciation of the course. Lunch was home bread and cheese, with homemade butter. of course. We had a lovely day and left with a bag full of breads and a desire to make bread! Mission accomplished. I am keen to attend another course after I've put my new found skills into practise - Highly recommended

Financially stricken Portsmouth have loaned out last season's player of the year, the midfielder Hayden Mullins, to Championship title hopefuls Reading until the end of the season.
The 32-year-old has a wealth of experience, having played in over 500 games. He was also born in Reading and has a son in the Royals' academy system.
"It's been a long time coming really. I wanted to play for the club, being local, and it nearly happened last year," he said. "I'm glad to be here. I'll try and back the boys up and if I need to fill in anywhere I will. I know the run that the club have been on – everyone knows that Reading are the team to stop at the moment."

It's the perfect opportunity to develop your writing chops and get your work published for the Maine Public audience.
You'll be working with seasoned writers and teachers to develop writing and multimedia that we can feature on Raise Your Voice, our student forum for all things growing up, making it in the world, building a future, and making schools vibrant, dynamic places.

Each day runs from 8:30 a.m. to noon, and you'll find a mix of time to write, explore your ideas, and try out new techniques.
You'll get the chance to focus your writing around an issue you care about, and you'll explore ways to blend images, audio, poetry, journalism, and other ways of communicating that build your case and help tell your story.
You'll connect with other young people who enjoy writing and have their own ideas on how to make the world a better place. And you'll develop your ideas into a piece that we can showcase on Raise Your Voice, the online home of student writing, audio, and other media here at Maine Public.

Anti-government demonstrators briefly invaded the city council building in Rio de Janeiro in the latest in a wave of protests that have hit Brazil.

Police say they repelled about 50 protesters who gained access to the council building in central Rio via a side door.

TV images showed protesters scattering outside the building after police used tear gas and pepper spray.

 Nationwide anti-government protests started in Brazil in June. Complaints target poor public services in the face of citizens' heavy tax burden. Read the full story.

Director Agent Intervention Strategies for Interactive Narrative Environments

- Lee S.Y., Mott B.W., Lester J.C. (2011) Director Agent Intervention Strategies for Interactive Narrative Environments. In: Si M., Thue D., André E., Lester J.C., Tanenbaum J., Zammitto V. (eds) Interactive Storytelling. ICIDS 2011. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 7069. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg
Interactive narrative environments offer significant potential for creating engaging narrative experiences. Increasingly, applications in education, training, and entertainment are leveraging narrative to create rich interactive experiences in virtual storyworlds. A key challenge posed by these environments is building an effective model of the intervention strategies of director agents that craft customized story experiences for users. Identifying factors that contribute to determining when the next director agent decision should occur is critically important in optimizing narrative experiences. In this work, a dynamic Bayesian network framework was designed to model director agent intervention strategies. To create empirically informed models of director agent intervention decisions, we conducted a Wizard-of-Oz (WOZ) data collection with an interactive narrative-centered learning environment. Using the collected data, dynamic Bayesian network and naïve Bayes models were learned and compared. The performance of the resulting models was evaluated with respect to classification accuracy and produced promising results.

A dazzling party was being held at the Regent's Park home of publisher Gail Rebuck and her husband, Tony Blair's former pollster and adviser, Philip Gould.
Rebuck, head of Random House, is the publisher of the long-awaited Blair memoirs - and Queen of the New Labour social scene.
The event was a celebration of her investiture as Dame and was, one guest remarked, "as if the clock had been turned back to the preGordon era".
The old Blair crowd sipped champagne and some muttered hopefully about the last chance to get rid of Gordon Brown.
A frisson went around the room when Sarah Brown entered. Peter Mandelson mingled with Cherie Blair and Jonathan Powell.
News International CEO Rebekah Brooks was still in demand, despite transferring The Sun's affections to David Cameron.
"This lot will be all right under Cameron," whispered one New Labour wife. "They're all doing very well in the afterlife, thank you."
The man himself was missing, which is not unusual. Tony Blair now spends a week a month in the Middle East and is usually away for a further week in America, lecturing or teaching at Yale.
Cherie, who has been overseeing the refurbishment of the couple's £4 million house in Buckinghamshire, often complains that she sees less of her husband now than she did in their days in No 10.
The shadow of Iraq, however, hangs over their halcyon existence: especially now the Chilcot Inquiry is gathering evidence on the decision to go to war and the inadequate preparations for its aftermath.
Gordon Brown hopes to escape a grilling on the grounds that as Chancellor, he was peripheral to the critical decision-making.
His predecessor, however, will be at the centre of the proceedings. "No one is on trial here," said Sir John in his opening remarks. But for many the inquiry is the long-awaited trial of Tony Blair.
The Blairs were "extremely anxious" that there might be a legally based inquiry into Iraq.
"It would have been a circus of lawyers and endless argument about how you decide if a war is legal or not," says one ally. "He was pleased it didn't go that way."
Instead, Chilcot is calling the officials and politicians: though many who know the informal modus operandi of the old No 10 doubt that the full truth will emerge.
"A lot of things happened as they did because of the personalities involved, how they interacted and their own agendas and beliefs," says one.
"There was a kind of force field between Blair, David Manning (a key aide and later Washington ambassador) and the intelligence chief Richard Dearlove. There were a lot of people further down the chain talking about decisions which were made higher up and much more secretively."
Another former ambassador notes that the best potential evidence may lie in the memories of the private secretaries in Downing Street and the Foreign Office.
"They knew everything," he says, "but strangely, they are never called to give an account."
The closed world around Blair still fascinates - one member of the old inner circle is even rumoured to be writing a play in which the run-up to the war and the interlocking personalities will feature.
How does the man who led Britain into a lengthy and still unconcluded conflict view it now? Friends such as Lord Falconer insist he does not see Blair's Middle-East role as an act of repentance.
"It's more about remaining involved in public affairs and contributing to something he thinks important," he says.
Colleagues say Blair has a strong relationship with George Mitchell, Washington's envoy to the region, and hopes to play a negotiating role if Barack Obama revives the peace process.
Another more critical member of the old No 10 gang says: "Tony always thought Iraq was a simple proposition. He misjudged its complexity."
Lord Falconer captures the ambivalence in the old Blair team about the investigation. "I fear public opinion won't be satisfied until some form of inquiry condemns Blair.
"I hope that this one is sufficiently authoritative to deal with that anxiety." At the same time, he says, Blair remains convinced that he was right to go to war.
A female friend senses "a kind of denial" about the level of the failures involved. "He made one huge mistake in being in awe of the Americans," she says.
That will begin to be explored when the first big name of the inquiry, former ambassador to Washington in the run-up to the invasion Sir Christopher Meyer, gives evidence tomorrow.
In his memoirs he argued that by the autumn of 2002 Britain should have made its participation in any war dependent on a properly worked-out plan for the reconstruction of post-Saddam Iraq. The preparation, he said, was "defective and rudimentary".
Behind the glitz and confidence that was always his hallmark (and rather missed in the stumbling premiership of his successor), Blair has had disappointments.
The Middle-East job is essentially a holding operation until Obama decides to revive a peace process.
The recent failure even to make the shortlist in the race for the new job of European President "did bother him", says a friend. "He really wanted the role. It wasn't a dry run."
He is not used to such defeats. His old aide Jonathan Powell had returned to work for him, trying to create a head of steam behind what was, in effect, a job application from a man who has never stopped wanting to lead.
"Tony's got one bigger job in him," Cherie confided to an old friend recently.
The "Iraq factor" loomed large in Blair not getting the European presidency but fear of his tendency to steal the show was also a bar.
Even generally sympathetic figures such as Germany's Angela Merkel, who has high personal regard for Mr Blair's pragmatic centrist politics and tough international stance, could not be persuaded that the EU needed the Blair factor.
His portfolio is diverse (some close to him think too much so).
Besides the Middle-East envoy role and his American trips he runs his inter-faith foundation and campaigns on climate change - recently travelling to China to try to persuade local leaders to curb emissions.
He oversees a northern sports foundation: his remaining link with the Sedgefield seat that propelled him to power.
The Blair Foundation in London is modelled closely on Bill Clinton's multiplicity of political and business interests after office. The restlessness of the two men is a similarity.
"He's always busy," says his old Sedgefield agent John Burton, "he's physically incapable of stopping work."
Burton adds with a hint of concern that he has "taken on a lot" in terms of financial commitments.
"He needs £5 million a year to pay for his offices and staff as well as his private living."
It's the treadmill of the relentless high-flier. The Blairs enjoy a luxurious lifestyle.
They have converted outbuildings on the Buckinghamshire estate for their sons Euan and Nicky.
Euan is in the City, Nicky teaches at a comprehensive - and is expected to follow his father into politics.
Kathryn, to everyone's surprise, decided to become a lawyer and has blossomed into a confident young woman.
On his New York visits, he stays at the Waldorf and the US side of his affairs is looked after by his agent there, Bob Barnett, who has always been coy on the content and timing of his memoirs, saying "we're looking forward to the book very much, but not talking timings right now".
London friends, however, say that Blair is working "flat out" on the autobiography which will be published soon after the election and is expected to give his side of the Blair-Brown tensions in power.
These were carefully excised from Cherie Blair's memoirs, published last year, but the book was sold to Random House and Knopf for between £5 million and £6 million - suggesting that he has agreed to a frank account of his years in power.
More than two years after he left office, the Iraq inquiry will be the first time the British public has seen him called to account for the most controversial aspect of his premiership.
But don't expect a mea culpa when the room falls silent and his moment comes.
"He genuinely believes that he was right to get rid of Saddam and that the Middle East is better off without him," says Lord Falconer.
The arguments will pursue him to the end of his days.

I have never got along with my parents. I don't like them, and the impression I have had since childhood (I am now in my late 20s) is that the feeling is mutual. But I do love them, and think that, deep down, they must love me. Yet, while with others I am calm and laid-back, with my parents I can't control my emotions. I have, on occasion, become physical (flipping a chair or doing something aggressive near them). I hate the person I become when I am with them and wonder if I am unlovable. The only solution I can see is to cut them off. This would give me the opportunity not to feel utterly worthless and we could all move on. My father thinks there is something wrong with my head and my mother wants to fix things.

The family of the BBC journalist who wrongly tweeted that the Queen had died today defended her - saying "she just made a mistake".
Ahmen Khawaja faces disciplinary action after she sparked a global media storm when she mistakenly tweeted "Queen Elizabrth [sic] has died" during a BBC rehearsal for the death of the monarch.
A man at the journalist's exclusive Knightsbridge apartment block today, who said he was her brother, said the family were supporting her and that she just wanted to get back to normal in the job she loves.
He told the Standard: "She is not here. She just made a mistake."
Asked if she regretted the incident and was sorry, the man, who did not give his name, answered: "Yes".
The 31-year-old journalist, who produces a current affairs show for BBC Urdu, soon realised her mistake and deleted the rogue updates - including one that read "BREAKING: Queen Elizabeth is being treated at King Edward 7th Hospital in London.
But the story had already been picked up by media outlets across the world including American network CNN, the Hindustan Times in India and German newspaper Bild.
To add to the confusion, by coincidence, the Queen was in hospital yesterday for a routine health check-up.
Ms Khawaja later wrote: "False Alarm: Have deleted previous tweets!!"
Her apartment, a short walk from Harrods and One Hyde Park, one of the world's most exclusive addresses, is in a block that overlooks Hyde Park where properties go for millions of pounds.
Miss Khawaja, who started at the BBC just over a year ago, initially suggested that the mistake was a joke, saying: "Phone left unattended at home. Silly prank. Apologies for upsetting anyone!"
But the BBC later claimed the tweet had been sent during a "technical rehearsal for an obituary".
It is understood that Miss Khawaja was not directly involved with the hour-long rehearsal - which is likely to have included plans for how presenters should dress and which studios to use.
The BBC today apologised for "any offence" caused by the Tweets.
Following yesterday's events, an investigation is underway as part of the BBC's disciplinary process.
A BBC spokeswoman said: "During a technical rehearsal for an obituary, tweets were mistakenly sent from the account of a BBC journalist saying that a member of the royal family had been taken ill. The tweets were swiftly deleted and we apologise for any offence."Reuse content

..from yet another out of Paris expedition.
Loved this little town in Normandy – traveled here for a short break. The birth place of Erik Satie, gorgeous corner of France, reviving, refreshing, fantastic.
Loved this little town in Normandy – traveled here for a short break. The birth place of Erik Satie, gorgeous corner of France, reviving, refreshing, fantastic.
Visited this remarkable building – one of the oldest in Paris.
A visit of the "Basilique Saint-Denis' was also squeezed in at some point over the past week: and these are some images of that visit. It's quite a stunning space to visit – a museum of an age long past where religion and monarchy very much defined what it meant to be "French'. Today the basilica hosts the bodies of France's former Kings and Queens, itself having been a sort of spiritual centre of the French nation. The neighbourhood around the basilica tells of a new France – perhaps the France of the future. Where Christianity, respect for monarchy and hierarchy were what lied at the heart of a bygone France – the largely immigrant population around the basilica foretells of a markedly different world to that which these dead kings and queens built a or envisaged. Depending on which side of the political spectrum you come from, the basilica is either a sad reminder of a romantic time long past, a reminder of how different France has become or simply a tribute to the …
Now, these images are a bit hazy, but for 'record keeping's' sake – for the record – I'll just post these images from St. Etienne du Mont, also visited earlier over the course of the past week. It's famous for containing what are believed to be the relics of Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris. St Genevieve also happens, by the way, to be one of my favourite figures in the Catholic-lore. She was apparently a young girl with immense faith, whose earnest acts of fasting and prayer supposedly saved Paris from an attack by the Huns. Subsequent historians have offered less mystical explanations – such as Atila's preoccupation with other more pressing challenges. but whatever the case, she's an interesting figure in the history of Paris. And one of my favourite saints! 🙂
The past week or so has been a flurry activity – but not too busy to squeeze in time to explore this vast, beautiful city. These are images from a studio of sculptor, Brancusi's, work. Its all about straight, clean geometric lines – and he also clearly had aprofound love for kisses, the head, facial features and kisses. It's a sweet place to visit. Brancusi holds the pride of place as one of modern sculpture's pioneers.
It's a beautiful Saturday morning. Well, in retrospect, the weather's been wonderful over the course of the entire week. Each day has clocked early spring temperatures, a dose of sunshine – and Parisians have steadilt made their ways to the banks of the Seine to catch a bit of sunshine – which this blogger did yesterday afternoon. Lovely!…

Temporally Consistent Disparity and Optical Flow via Efficient Spatio-temporal Filtering
- Cite this paper as:
- Hosni A., Rhemann C., Bleyer M., Gelautz M. (2011) Temporally Consistent Disparity and Optical Flow via Efficient Spatio-temporal Filtering. In: Ho YS. (eds) Advances in Image and Video Technology. PSIVT 2011. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 7087. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg
This paper presents a new efficient algorithm for computing temporally consistent disparity maps from video footage. Our method is motivated by recent work [1] that achieves high quality stereo results by smoothing disparity costs with a fast edge-preserving filter. This previous approach was designed to work with single static image pairs and does not maintain temporal coherency of disparity maps when applied to video streams.
The main contribution of our work is to transfer this concept to the spatio-temporal domain in order to efficiently achieve temporally consistent disparity maps, where disparity changes are aligned with spatio-temporal edges of the video sequence. We further show that our method can be used as spatio-temporal regularizer for optical flow estimation. Our approach can be implemented efficiently, achieving real-time results for stereo matching. Quantitative and qualitative results demonstrate that our approach (i) considerably improves over frame-by-frame methods for both stereo and optical flow; and (ii) outperforms the state-of-the-art for local space-time stereo approaches.

The start of Spring sees trees and hedgerows burst into life with beautiful blossom, and the longer days provide us with even more opportunity to get outside and enjoy capturing this seasonal spectacle on camera. But how do you make the most of these delicate blooms while they last? We've got advice for you on great blossom photography – read on for our tips!
Blossom photography
This is one of the times when urban-dwelling photographers are just as lucky as those living in the countryside – cherries and other blossoming trees are frequently chosen by town planners to brighten up inner-city areas, and their petals look fantastic against steel and glass of modern buildings.
Keep a record of cherry trees planted near you and then when the season arrives you'll be able to rush over, camera in hand. A mirrorless camera's an ideal choice for travelling light: the Fujifilm X-A3 comes with WiFi for speedy image sharing once you've grabbed your shots.
Whatever the weather
Blossom doesn't last: a night of strong winds or heavy rain can turn those beautiful bloom-covered bushes into denuded sticks. (If your selected subject has been stripped of its petals, try a shot looking down: there might be an opportunity to capture the flowers on the floor…)
No wind and soft, clear morning light are your ideal conditions to get the best from your blossom tree but creative shots can be had in all scenarios: a weather-sealed camera like the Fujifilm X-T2 is a good idea, particularly if you're heading outdoors during April!
Watch your exposure
Masses of pale blossom petals can make your camera underexpose and come out much darker than you're expecting, so try different exposure compensation settings until you're happy with the result. A slightly increased exposure can give you the bright, pure feeling of blossom in full bloom – but it depends on the effect you're looking for.
Capture contrast
Those delicate petals will look best against vivid blue skies, dark green leaves, brick walls – anything where their natural beauty can shine. This is why the deeper skies of early morning and dusk can give you the intensity of colour you're looking for, but if you're stuck shooting in the middle of the day, try hunting out shadows or setting the petals against the sky and shooting into the light for a gorgeous glow.
Capture every angle
Once you've found a tree that's in a suitable spot, spend time studying it. Take a range of images of the blossom both as individual blooms using a shallow depth of field (a wide aperture lens such as the Fujifilm XF 50mm f/2 is ideal for this) and as a mass. Shoot the tree close-up and fill the frame with colour, then step back and place it within its environment. Do you want to add people to the frame for human interest and scale (particularly effective if you've found a whole hillside covered in blossoming trees) or keep the tree solo? It's up to you, and your creative vision.
Don't just shoot stills
Short films of cherry blossoms moving in the breeze can be extremely beautiful to watch, so don't limit yourself to still photos only – if your camera has a video function then put it to work! Use a tripod to keep your shots stable and try gently pulling your frame through the blossoms so each individual bloom comes in and out of focus – or try slowly panning across the tops of the trees to show how the blossom sits within its environment. The tiny details presented by the blooms means the resolution offered by 4K video will come into its own here – so a camera like the X-T20 would be an extremely sensible choice to make the most of these short-lived subjects.

Emergency Dental Clinics
If you suddenly have a dental emergency and have to go to an out of hour's dental clinic, you should be able to find one in your local area if a city or somewhere in the town. These are usually private companies that are part run by the NHS and you will generally just pay a prescription charge and a check up and treatment fee of about £20 (not London). If you are working full time, you might not be eligible for NHS treatment and they may charge you a lot more than £20, and you won't always be guaranteed to get treatment if they have assessed you over the phone and determined that your problem is not severe enough to count as an emergency; you usually can't walk in and expect treatment as they usually assess over the phone and you are more likely to get turned away. It's only a good option if you can't actually talk over the phone and have to write something down for them as you answer their questions that way; don't expect any sympathy from them though if you try to get there-and-then treatment using that approach.
Usually if you fell over and chipped your tooth and there is some blood they won't offer you treatment, same if you have toothache and there are no loose teeth; they usually tell you too book an appointment with your regular dentist and wait for that appointment.
Once you get an appointment with them, they expect you to arrive 15 minutes before your appointment to fill in the paperwork they need, but your appointment could be any-time from 10 minutes to an hour and a half after your appointment time depending on when you go there and availability of their staff. It's quite common for them to ignore patients when they are short staffed and have to take a break; just be glad there is a service that can help you and don't create a scene if you do end up waiting more than an hour.

Like millions of other conservatives, baseball legend Curt Schilling is sick of watching loudmouth liberal Senator Elizabeth Warren run her mouth. Now, he has announced plans to do something about it.
According to Daily Caller, Schilling announced plans to possibly run in the 2018 Senate race in Massachusetts to take the seat from Warren.
"I've thought about it, and I think one of the things I would would like to do is be one of the people responsible for getting Elizabeth Warren out of politics," he told WRKO-AM on Monday. "I think she's a nightmare. The left is holding her up as the second coming of Hillary Clinton, which Lord knows we don't need the first one."
He added that Massachusetts would be the only state he'd run for office in.
Rumors of Schilling taking Warren's seat began swirling last week. We're glad to see they appear to be true! SHARE this story if you stand with Curt Schilling against Elizabeth Warren!

I try really hard to stay away from politics in this blog. I know I occasionally betray my leanings, but by and large I try to keep this space out of my fray. But I have to say that as I tried to come up with a blog post this week, I could not think about anything at all but the horrific executive order that Donald Trump has signed making it nearly impossible for Muslims to enter the country. It's beyond words how disconnected this is from the American values I was taught and the tenets upon which the country was created. Sorry for those who disagree, but this is all I could think about and thus this is all I could write about.
The topic is particularly meaningful for those of us who work in or near the technology economy. California is the number one state when it comes to economic contribution to America. We are the 6th largest economic power in the world. And a huge portion of that success comes as a direct result of the melting pot we call home and the tech economy that produces much of our wealth.
Are you reading this post on your smart phone while wearing blue jeans? Well neither of those wouldn't exist were it not for a Syrian immigrant's son, Steve Jobs, and a Latvian immigrant, Levi Strauss. Selling your tickets on eBay? Well it's founder, Pierre Omidyar is of Iranian descent and would likely get turned away at JFK today. Getting your medical advice from Dr. Oz? A Muslim too.
In that every single person on American soil who is not Native American is an immigrant of one kind or another or a descendant of one, this whole thing is mind-boggling. Without immigrants, we have basically none of our modern pleasures or conveniences. We certainly don't maintain the technological leadership we enjoy in the world. Companies such as Google, Ebay, Qualcomm and Intel were founded by immigrants. In fact, 40% of the Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children and those companies produce over $4.2 trillion in annual revenue. And even more relevant to those of us hangers on in the tech economy: 45% of tech companies on the Fortune 500 were started by immigrants or their children.
Take away our immigrants and you take away our economy, particularly since the top 500 companies employ 10 million people. And given that he of the small hands has built his platform on jobs and economic prosperity, at least in part, he obviously hasn't read the fine print.
Every kid in this country learns that America was founded by immigrants fleeing religious persecution. While our country has leaned to the Christian since it's founding, it has not, as a country based on the rule of law, actively excluded people from the country on the basis of religion. I'm not saying that we haven't persecuted people along the way, but we haven't been able to sustain policies (because the Supreme Court shut them down) that favor one religion over another. There's that whole Constitution thing which specifically says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
By and large the First Amendment is not meant to be suggestive. So how does that foot with stopping green card holders who are upstanding American contributors (doctors, lawyers, military advisors, you name it) being stopped at our border and turned away? As anyone who is Japanese can tell you, that used to be them. Today it's certain Muslims (not all, apparently, because some predominantly Muslim countries are better than others?); tomorrow it could be anyone – Jews, gays, Hispanics, journalists, women who had abortions, people with small hands. Anyone. And by the way, I'm all for keeping the bad guys out of America, but about a quarter of the entire world population is Muslim so we are going to have to be a tad more precise.
Let's just forget for a moment any feelings for social justice one might have and say, fine, let's live in a world of only Christian white people. If that's where we are headed, we had better hunker down for the next Great Depression, because it will be rapidly on its way. The kitchen in which we whip up our economic prosperity is most famous for its melting pot, and this is a dish best made with a lot of different spices.
Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google and himself a refugee, was at SFO protesting this weekend because he knows first hand what's at stake. Google said that approximately 187 of its employees are directly affected by the order. The CEOs of Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Uber, Airbnb and Tesla Motors have actively voiced their opposition to the executive order, which "affect their own employees working here legally, as well as their competitive quest for talent."
And lest we forget that most of our large companies are now global. If we establish policies that punish are heretofore trade partners, it's coming right back at us. Are we trying to create jobs or kill them? Are we hoping for a world of better opportunity or one where the world's powers stands together in our way to punish us for our own short-sightedness? If we keep going like this, there's going to come a time real soon where the rest of the world will gladly pay to build a wall all the way around us so we can't get out and bug them. If they're smart they'll keep Hawaii on their side, which makes it even worse.

Greg was home sick with the flu today. Today I am grateful for a husband who (almost) never gets sick and works hard to support our family in many ways.
A few of my usual holiday bazaars have fallen through for this year so I was expecting lower sales, and thus lower income for the holiday season this year. Over the last week I've been contacted by two local Holiday Boutiques, that I wasn't aware of, asking for my participation at their event this year. I was feeling like I needed to shake it up this year instead of doing the same boutiques, to increase sales. I'm grateful for a little divine intervention with being introduced to new opportunities.
I'm also grateful for my yoga and running this morning and for good friends who both go with me and watch my little boy so I can go.
I'm grateful for Fall soup and rolls for dinner and the best green beans.
I'm grateful that I live in a neighborhood where my kids have endless amounts of good friends to play with.

The contractor has completed the initial roll-out of the new 96-gallon recycling totes for our no sort recycling program. If you have not received your tote, we will get you one soon! There are approximately 460 homes on Wednesday A Week and Thursday A&B Week who have not received their totes. We have more totes on backorder and expect delivery by the end of June. City of Moorhead Sanitation will distribute these totes in early July. We appreciate your patience during the roll-out of our new program and we hope you enjoy the convenience of no sort recycling. If you have any questions, please contact Public Works at 299-5347 or visit us at City of Moorhead Recycling.

The Great Flood of October 16
It's clearly time to start thinking of your evening drive home. With that in mind, and with news that we're still in a flood watch until 4:30 p.m. at the earliest, we figured we should do the news outlet thing and offer up some flood shots of our own.
Spotted the rising water while driving up Memorial towards downtown this morning. It was suprising to see how fast the current was moving. I hopped out and started snapping photos. My editor would be proud: It was a hazardous affair. Well, not because of the water, but because I almost got rear-ended by a fish truck. -- Steven Devadanam
