I suppose it was inevitable that "The Salesman" win this year's Best Foreign Language Oscar the other week. By not attending the ceremony, Iranian director Asghar Farhadi's absence highlighted his protest (and that of his countrymen, and of Muslims worldwide) against the Trump administration's plan to ban entry to the United States from seven sovereign Arab nations that purportedly sponsor terrorism. Oscar voters apparently wanted to make a point, so they awarded Farhadi. Never mind that "The Salesman," while certainly a good film, is not up to par with his 2011 offering "The Separation," which became the first Iranian picture to land the Best Foreign Language Oscar five years ago.
"The Salesman" follows the life of Emad and Rana (Shahab Hosseini and Taraneh Alidoosti, in a marvelous performance), a childless thirtysomething Iranian couple forced to flee their dilapidated apartment one night due to construction causing the building to collapse. Emad is a local high school teacher, and at night he's rehearsing a production of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman." Emad plays Willy Loman and Rana plays his wife Linda.
Eventually settling into a temporary top-floor apartment, Rana is attacked one day while taking a shower. The landlord advises them that the previous tenant was a woman of ill repute, and that the intruder was likely one of her johns. Not wanting to humiliate herself by telling her story to the police, Rana suggests Emad set out to find the culprit himself.
Now I know what you're thinking. She did NOT inform the police? Correct. But remember, this is Iran. Not only are the authorities not held to the same high standard as in most first world countries, but the poor building codes (including that of their first apartment) are also underscored.
Furthermore, unlike in this country in which counseling is only a phone call away, the public shaming of a sexually assaulted Arab woman is almost too much for Rana to comprehend. Although she and Emad tell only very few others, Rana is beset with guilt – even breaking down during a performance. In male-dominated Arab culture, the woman is perceived to carry a certain level of guilt – for making herself too attractive and available to her stalker. Never mind that the intruder entered her apartment while she was in the shower.
While Farhadi almost can't help noting these cultural and societal differences between Arabs and first world citizens, I'm always intrigued by the similarities he accentuates. For example, Iran does having a thriving theatre and arts scene. This is not a contrived plot element, designed to "soften" Iran for world consumption. And Emad's students are about as disruptive as those in most American schools – that is to say they can be trying, but typically not in a destructive manner. The students seem to genuinely enjoy Emad's class, and he invites them to see his play.
My favorite scene occurs when Emad asks his students how many of them are familiar with "Death of a Salesman." Not one hand is raised. I found this more a commentary on their generation than I did on their culture. I can't imagine a lot of American high schoolers would be familiar with it either.
Obvious correlations between the Miller play and Farhadi's film are strewn throughout. Most notable is the ending, in which we see Rana's Linda Loman weeping over the casket of her deceased husband Willy. This scene is coupled with that of Emad's capture of Rana's attacker. Rather than turn him over to the authorities, Emad demands he apologize to his own family (who of course know nothing of his extramarital dalliances). Rana believes Emad is going too far. Farhadi masterfully handles this climax. On the one hand, we feel sorry for the attacker, yet Farhadi's screenplay never lets us forget what he's done.
Emad is a man. Therefore, he is a problem-solver. He's not particularly comforting to Rana. In his mind, Rana will snap back to her old self if he simply finds her attacker. And this is perhaps the greatest similarity amongst all cultures. Did I mention that men are from Mars and women from Venus? Rana desperately needs someone to sympathize with her needs – and Emad leaves her needs unfulfilled. Now go back and read (or watch) "Death of a Salesman" and note the similarities.

"Big Big World" is a 1998 ballad song recorded by Emilia Rydberg from Sweden. Rydberg wrote the song with Lasse Anderson. The song is about love, with references to the autumn. It was the first single from the album of the same name and was released in late 1998. Although it didn't fare well in the US, where it remained at the bottom of the Billboard Hot 100, the song was a hit in many European countries where it was a top-three hit.

Severe coronary heart diseases are treated by Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. The coronary arteries supply oxygen rich blood to the heart. Due to the build-up of waxy substance in the walls of these arteries it gets blocked and creates problem in functioning of heart. The CABG removes this blockage and allows the blood to flow properly through heart. A healthy artery is connected to the affected artery and the portion is thus bypassed and blood flows through the new connected artery.

Arrhythmia is an issue with the rate or beat of the pulse. Amid an arrhythmia, the heart can pulsate too quick, too moderate, or with an unpredictable beat. Numerous arrhythmias are not critical to health, however some can be life debilitating. In the event that the heart rate is unusual, the heart will most likely be unable to pump enough blood to the body. Absence of blood stream can harm the mind, heart, and different organs. Drug more often than not is the principal line of treatment for arrhythmias. In the event that drug doesn't function admirably, your specialist may suggest surgery. For instance, surgery might be utilized to embed a pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. Pacemaker is a tiny device placed beneath the chest. It is connected through wires to the heart chambers. Maze surgery is also a treatment option for arrhythmia but it is used in the severe cases of Arrythmia.
Types of Arrhythmia

Heart functions well when blood flows through the arteries without any blockage and in one direction. Valves of the heart open and close in a synced manner that ensures the flow of blood in one direction. Leaflets present around the valves of the heart open to pass the blood from one chamber to other and close to stop blood flowing backward. These leaflets may function improperly due to various reasons in individuals causing an improper flow of blood. Heart Valve repair or replacement is done to ensure the blood flow in correct direction. The pulmonary valves are repaired by inserting a catheter through a large blood vessel and futher to the heart. The Catheter widens the valve which thus improves the functioning of the valve.

An echocardiogram, often referred to as a cardiac echo or simply an echo, is a sonogram of the heart. Echocardiography uses standard two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and Doppler ultrasound to create images of the heart. It has become routinely used in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of patients with any suspected or known heart diseases. It is one of the most widely used diagnostic tests in cardiology. It can provide a wealth of helpful information, including the size and shape of the heart (internal chamber size quantification), pumping capacity, and the location and extent of any tissue damage. An echocardiogram can also give physicians other estimates of heart function, such as a calculation of the cardiac output, ejection fraction, and diastolic function (how well the heart relaxes). Echocardiography can help detect cardiomyopathies, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, and many others.

Fee-Only Services
Placing Your Interests First
At RightPath™ Investments & Financial Planning, we offer all of our services under a "fee-only" structure. That is an important distinction from other fee structures and has specific meaning to our clients.
Reducing Conflicts of Interest, Increasing Transparency
First and foremost, a fee-only structure significantly reduces potential conflicts between your interests and those of RightPath. Commission-based planners receive compensation from their product vendors. Fee-only planners are only compensated by the client; satisfying the client's interest is the primary motivator.
You know precisely what you are paying for our fee-only services, whether charged hourly, as a percentage of assets under management, or as a periodic fee. Fees are stated at the outset and clearly marked on invoices and statements, unlike commisions, which can be difficult to isolate commission payments from other fees, and even investment amounts. With RightPath, you will never wonder how much your financial solutions are really costing you.
Picking from a Bigger Barrel
Our fee-only structure also allows us to use a broader range of financial solutions and providers than commission-based advisors who may be financially tied to a small selection. We are continually learning about new investment options and adding the best to our list. Our internal research,
information from our specialist colleagues and product specialist, input from your specialists, and, of course, any research you have conducted yourself means you have access to the breadth and depth of information you need to make the right choices.
A Penny Saved is a Penny Reinvested
When comparing similar needs, portfolios, and solutions, it is not uncommon to find that fee-only planners cost less than commission-based planners. These lower costs may be due to the elimination of commissions, lower negotiated product costs through provider competition, or other advantages to the fee-only system. Also, fee-only expenses to you are frequently tax deductible as investment advice, whereas fees associated with a particular product (e.g., commission-based fees) may not be. All of which means more of your money goes to meeting your goals.
Fee Overview
Although we use a general fee scale for most clients, we incorporate a significant amount of flexibility—including some sliding scales, that allow us to customize our fees uniquely to you. Please contact our office for specific rates or see our ADV under "The Fine Print."
- Financial Planning: hourly rates or fixed project fees.
- Investment Management
- Ongoing Services: generally a percentage of investments under management.
- Investment Consultation Services: hourly rates or fixed project fees.
- Wealth Management: hourly rates, fixed project fees, or quarterly or annual fees.
A Note About Commission-Based Products: RightPath Investments & Financial Planning, Inc.will facilitate the purchase of commission-based products from reputable providers when such products are deemed the most appropriate solution for specific needs. In such cases, we monitor the product's
continued applicability to your situation and the level of commission you pay to the third-party provider. However, RightPath does not charge commissions for any services and we do not receive a portion of the commission charged by the third-party provider.

Number 1 of 5 of beatseqr version 3 is done!!
Take a look at the whole photoset!
I'm beginning to formulate how I would implement a data logger for airlock bubbling activity in a primary fermentation vessel. I'm not exactly sure how I will take a sensor reading from an airlock yet. In a 1 piece double chamber airlock, I could try putting a photo interrupt sensor where the carbon dioxide blows into the second chamber… not sure if that'll work at all. In a 3-piece airlock, I could try to record up and down movement of the internal piece by bouncing a light beam or something off the top? I dunno exactly what to do. Something tells me I may end up fabricating something else. Simpler is better, so I'll have to think long and hard about it. In the meantime, I think this is the workflow of data capture and reporting, using an Async Labs WiShield:
Success. Definitely good enough for a first attempt… and several lessons learned in the process. I'll be tightening up the box outlines and trusting the accuracy a little more next time. Everything lined up exactly how it was designed to, to the point of me now realizing that the steps I took to give myself some margin of error were not needed at all. Everything lined up, surprise!
There's been a lot of good progress being made, some of which is fundamental to playing and performance, and some of which is tightening up the user experience. Here's a short list of the new stuff:
* external case designed and prepped for laser cutting:
ready to go, I'm off to Techshop tonight to try to get these done. Hopefully there will be an update tomorrow on how it went.
* Midi CC slider mode. While not strictly outputting midi cc data directly from roxor, it does spit out OSC data for 8 controls that canbe connected to Osculator today, and steppa soon.
* master tempo set and tempo adjust knob modes. Along with swing, you can now dial in coarse and fine tempo values from right on the hardware.
* tempo and swing controls feedback on the lcd. The knobs behave as the sliders do in regards to maintaining their values until you return the control to the last known position before it will change the value, and using the controls don't overwhelm the lcd. Two thing you might not notice, but thats what good user experience is all about.

Galau kwek kwekJul. 14th, 2014 06:51 pm
Galau kwek kwek.. I can't find english word to discribe "galau" hahaha.. "Kwek kwek" actually the duck's sound in Bahasa..
Galau kwek kwek is a group chat that "found" by my friend, Vivi; and the members are Vivi, Meliana, and me. Actually the galau-est persons are Vivi and me; Meliana seems like moderator in this group.. We need moderator who doesn't a galau person because if it doesn't have moderator I and Vivi can galau all the time.. Ahaha
Funniest part is the name of our "boy".. The initial name are same like our initial, consist of F and V; so we think there will be a boy that has initial name S.. Hahaha.. #random
Through this group chat, we think we gets closer day by day.. Haha.. And we know and realize about friendship.. No matter who you are, friends (best friends) always there for you.. They will support you when you down and they always there for you..
I feel I found my best friends in the university.. Maybe I have best friends also in high school, but in university, same faculty, you will find that you have same hobbies and same life especially if you are in faculty of art.. Many people don't understand about art, it isn't just knowledge but also passion and your dedication.. Many people don't understand the difficulties of art.. But we always keep fighting on it.. We can call ourselves "artist" because we are people who work in art world..

Originally scheduled (along with all of the other first round matches) for 4 December, this was the only first round tie to fall victim to the weather. Overnight frost had left the pitch frozen solid, and although by the time kickoff approached most of the playing surface had been thawed by the winter sunshine, a small area that had been in the shade all day was deemed to be unplayable. The referee called the game off shortly before kick off, and the match was re-arranged for seven days later.
The second round draw was made a day after the postponement, and the eventual winners of this game will be playing away to Cambridge United. Cambridge upset Southern Division side Queens Park Rangers to make it into the second round, so it will be a tricky tie for whoever progresses.
The original match preview is shown below.
Southern Region League side Southampton will be hosting Swindon Town of the WPL Southern Division in tie number 27 of the SSE Women's FA Cup first round. It's a battle between two teams who were both promoted in the summer after winning their respective divisions – Southern Region Division One in the case of Southampton and WPL South West Division One for Swindon.
Southampton have clearly adjusted well to their new division this season and are sitting on top of the league with a 100% win record so far. Swindon are finding things a little tougher – they've lost ten of their opening twelve games, but the six points they've picked up from their other two matches is enough to lift them up to 9th place.
Swindon are joining this season's Women's FA Cup at the first round stage, but have played in both the WPL Cup and WPL Plate this season – losing their only game in each competition. Southampton's cup performance has been a little more impressive, they beat Bournemouth Sports 12-0 in the second qualifying round, then won 5-1 against Fleet Town before upsetting WPL side Shanklin to reach the first round.
Southampton have already bettered their cup run of last year, when they got as far as the third qualifying round. Swindon reached the second round proper, where they were beaten by Tottenham Hotspur.
My prediction: This tie has the potential for a cup upset. Swindon are having a tough season so far, while Southampton are in tremendous form, but I think on this occasion we'll see SwIndon progressing through to the next round.

Hello everyone! Here are my major resolutions and goals for 2017.
I will just briefly mention a couple of non-reading/blogging goals:
- I'm going to do my homework earlier as in not last minute. I tried to implement this at the end of last year, but failed because once you get behind things stack up and it doesn't work out. Now that I have no homework left unfinished it is the perfect time to try and go for this one.
- I'm going to write consistently throughout the year (not just a lot one month and nothing the next).
- I'm going to spend more time with my family and not just at Christmas time when I spend hours with them. My immediate family is very close by and I need to make the most of that whilst I can because in a couple of years that will no longer be the case!
- I'm going to try and keep my room tidy more often (I don't expect it to be tidy all the time, but putting a little bit away each day is my goal, so that it doesn't ever get too messy).
Now for the reading goals:
- I have set my Goodreads goal at 120 books. Considering I read 187 books in 2016, I think this is quite reasonable considering that I will have less holiday and my final GCSE year beginning. It also gives me some more freedom to read longer books. Reading 120 books in a year means reading 33.333% of a book each day, or reading one book every three days, which I can definitely manage if you space it out over the year!
- I also have two major yearly TBRs to complete- the 2017 Challenge and the Books I Want To Reread, so my second goal is to fully complete both of those lists.
- I want to finish reading books before starting new ones. I already begun this a bit at the very end of 2016 where I managed to finish two books I had been reading for quite awhile. I sort of broke this rule today as I wanted to finally have one book on my Goodreads Challenge (the 0 was making me miserable) but I am thinking of it less of a rule and more of a guideline. For example, I may start a book before finishing the two books I am currently reading, but when I finish that book I go back to the ones I had already started rather than beginning a new book. I also plan on keeping the number of books I am reading at a time to 3 including school books.
- In 2016 I pre-ordered some books which I still haven't read (even if they came out at the beginning of the year). This year I plan on reading every book I pre-order, or it wasn't worth pre-ordering. This is slightly more lax for kindle books, but hopefully I can keep it up with those as well.
- I also want to get my TBR under control a bit. However, if I count it simply in numbers it encourages me to read lots of short books. So, I want to prevent my TBR from increasing beyond the 91 books it is currently at. I also want to get the size of it down to 1.5 brown shelves (one of my bookshelves) and 1 page on my Kindle. That way, whilst it is still a number of books on my Kindle, it is at least the magnitude of the TBR rather than the number that is the primary focus for my TBR. If I had to guess, I would say that getting my TBR down to this point would be reducing its size by a full shelf if not more.
I also have a few blogging goals! I'm trying to keep all sections of my goals under 5 so that I don't overwhelm myself and just forget about them like I did last year. Unfortunately, this section got upped to 6 last minute, but that's okay.
- Mark half stars down. Last year, if I ever thought a book was 3.5 or 4.5 or something like that, I would round up on Goodreads, although I would state the actual rating in my review. However, as I want to review more strictly, but am happy with how lax I am at giving out stars, I am going to round down instead of up this year so that I continue giving stars as I have been, but they register more harshly in averages, so as to show more accurately in my own statistics which books I loved.
- I want to schedule more posts and with that I also want to post at least 3 times a week, which is easier said than done.
- I want to do more discussions and reviews as well: and not just reviews of review copies, but of others books as well.
- Along with reviewing comes a couple of things. Not only do I want to do more reviews, but I want to make them more about Goodreads and less about my blog. That being said, I will definitely still post reviews on my blog, but I may do so more often on Goodreads. I also want to find a way to make reviews more engaging and interesting and (inspired by Katerina on Goodreads) hopefully enjoy writing them more!
- Finally, a goal inspired by Fadwa @Word Wonders: I want to remember to blog hop and be a more active member in the community continuously rather than spiking and then fading into the background again. I want to balance the areas of my life and rather than bemoaning that I have no easy YouTube videos to plough through without leaving a comment, actually go and visit the blogs I followed, because I followed them for a reason!
- Okay, so I added this a bit later, but it is an important one so it's going on the end here: I am making my TBRs truly the books I need to read and then reading anything else on top of that. This way, the TBRs will be smaller and I will actually be able to achieve them. This will also help with finishing current reads as I mentioned I wanted to already.
What are your goals? Do you set any? Please link your own posts down below as I love reading them: they are some of my favourite posts! Happy reading, Keira x.

We have appealed to the EU Agricultural Commissioner Dacian Ciolos to refuse Ireland's request to increase the rate on the grounds that the proposal undermines the Minister for Agriculture's assurance that the intensification of agricultural to meet ambitious 2020 production targets can be done sustainably.
Basing payments on stocking rates rather than areas farmed is biased against the smaller less intensive farmer who protect the environment and is against the proposal to reform CAP payments post 2013.
High stocking rates have led in the past to a host of environmental problems, including erosion, eutrophication, soil degradation, and increased carbon emissions. This damage was confirmed by the European Court of Justice in 2002 in a judgement against Ireland.
