Kenneth Branagh Set to Direct 'Italian Shoes' Adaptation in Sweden
by Alex Billington
October 19, 2011
Source: Variety
Branagh is heading back behind the lens. Variety reports that a Swedish production company called Yellow Bird (filmography), also partnered with Left Bank Pictures, is developing an adaptation of Swedish author Henning Mankell's novel Italian Shoes. Now set to direct is Kenneth Branagh, taking him back to his more dramatic roots following working on Thor. There's some extra buzz behind this, because Yellow Bird is the company the last adapted The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in Sweden first, and this is another high profile project for them. Branagh also worked on Henning Mankell's Wallander series for the BBC before.
Henning Mankell's book Italian Shoes, first published in 2009, follows the tale of a lonely, elderly former surgeon named Fredrik Welin reunited with an old flame he had abandoned many years ago. Dying of cancer, she asks him to fulfill a promise he made nearly 40 years ago to take her to a pool in a forest where he had spent a day with his father when he was young. Another mystery. "Why is former surgeon Fredrik Welin hiding on his grandparents' island? Can anything break him loose from his self-imposed exile?" These two questions guide this "short, beautiful, and ultimately life-affirming novel" (via Amazon). Writer Richard Cottan (of Margaret, Mankell's "Wallander") is adapting the screenplay for Yellow Bird.
Branagh has a few other projects in development as well, namely The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society adaptation and The Boys in the Boat adaptation, now he adds another adaptation to the line-up. If Yellow Bird can actually get this going soon it may indeed be the next project Branagh directs after Thor. I'm not familiar with the story, but it sounds very interesting and worthy of an adaptation, especially at the hands of Branagh, who has a sensibility for this kind of intrigue. We'll keep you updated on the adaptation.

Off The Pitch
The Best Supplements for an Old Sunday Football Player like me
Health supplements have become one of the major topics in the modern world. As an amateur football player who is slowly stepping into the middle age, I find health supplements very useful. I had been fond of football since I was a small kid and at 40 I'm still in love with this wonderful game, although I did not get the opportunity to take it into a professional level. I am satisfied with a weekly soccer match and with time I realised that it is not as easy as it was to keep up with the sport. If it was not for health supplements and iherb coupons, where I get these supplements, I would have given up on my passion for football 10 or 15 years ago.
Football however is not the only reason I am fond of health supplements. Owing to the environment, pollution that has been clouding our world, nutrition in the food we consume has decreased dramatically.
No matter how much fruits and vegetables we consume, the nutritional value is still missing because of the depleted soils they come from and long delivery times. In addition, another great deal of the nutritional value is lost when cooking and the actual amount of nutrition we obtain is minimal. Health supplements come in handy when considering the vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants we can gain from them.
Apart from serving as an alternative nutrition source, health supplements are great at fighting against stress and other stress related medical conditions. Stress is a closely related term in the busy modern world and I believe supplements do a remarkable job by enhancing our immune systems, and in turn making us feel healthier and happier.
When I was doing my own research about what these supplements have to offer for a football player, I found out a list of elements that are favourable for amateur football players like us. Low-dose caffeine can enhance the endurance performance, but be sure not to take too much, as going over the required dosage can lead to visual impairment. Creatine is an element that can increase muscle output and is very useful in sprint exercises, whilst glucosamine is useful when treating joint pains and osteoarthritis.
When I was searching for my supplements, I came across a wonderful site, iherb, that provides a wide range of health supplements and I was glad to find that they offer supplements that contain the elements I was specifically looking for. I have been a fan of iherb ever since and often refer family and friends to their website.
I was not very fond of online shopping until I started using iherb and just like its products, iherb's policies are of high quality. I was amazed to find out about the remarkable brands iherb supports, its huge list of shipping options, brilliant reward schemes and its eco-friendly initiatives. On top of everything I have become a fan of iherb coupons.
It is a great concept introduced by iherb that has grabbed the attention of millions of customers in the world, allowing them to enjoy unbelievable discounts. Owing to iherb coupons, the nutritional level of my body has never been, and never will be on the down side.
Why Speculating About Cesc Fabregas Is Not Good For Your Heart
I must have missed the last few days while stuck in the reservation and away from the hyperbole of the 'silly' season. Not that I care much about the amount of faecal matter that gets stirred in the name of inventing breaking news, but I wonder if I made a mistake of even bothering to switch on the sports news this morning.
The thing is this, the way rumours about Cesc Fabregas leaving Arsenal for Barcelona are being peddled, you would actually get the impression that it's a full gone conclusion and that the removal trucks are waiting outside the Spaniard's pad in leafy Hertfordshire ready to take whatever is going to Catalonia.
The narrative is so predictable. Cesc answers a planted question in a charity event in Spain by saying if he ever left Arsenal, it would be for Barca. Cue the punks at Marca who provide their own version of the story for it is written that any editor who doesn't peddle a Cesc story will be fired on the spot.
The usual suspects here from the Daily Wail to Sky Sports News pick up the story as fact and even suggest that Fabregas's representatives flew into London to talk to Arsenal.
Which by the way baffles me a little because Fabregas's agent, who happens to be David Dein's son actually lives in London so begs the question as to why he would fly from City Airport to Heathrow just to liven up the story.
What I also find amusing is that media houses send a whole crew to the Emirates stadium at 6 o'clock in the morning to stand outside and report their hogg wash. For one, no one is at the stadium and you wonder what the deal is. Are they going to get more credibility by standing outside the stadium and using it as a prop or doesn't it make more sense to just sit in the studio and peddle their story?
I've never really figured out why journalists insist on standing outside buildings even at 11.00 pm talking about a story that happened in that building over 8 hours prior to that.
In the building behind me today, we believe that a meeting took place and Cesc Fabregas's agents who flew in from Spain have held talks with Arsenal. No one is here to comment, but we speculate that the talks are on-going.
This story is not likely to go away soon though, and for the very simple reason that there's nothing to fill the air waves and news columns. I tell you, 24 hour news cycles are a bastard.
Arsenal fans around the world will be biting their nails on account of the media shit stirring going on in the name of credible news. At Stone Cold
Arsenal Towers though, our view is that we should just relax and enjoy the summer for this is not a reason to blow a gasket for.
We have spent time on the phone this morning with our inside source at Highbury House. And this is not some friend of an uncle's neighbour's former school mates half brother who works as a janitor at Arsenal. It is actually our contact's job to know and deal with these things.
Our contact has made us understand that Arsenal's position is simple and clear.
Arsenal does not indulge in media speculation and will not enter a slinging match between the Spanish and English media and tabloids. The club is too classy for that.
Cesc Fabregas is on a long term contract and an employee of Arsenal FC and that's not going to change because newspapers have columns to fill.
Arsenal are not interested in selling their best and most influential player in his prime. Speaking of which, transfermarkt.co.uk, a leading authority on player valuations places Cesc Fabregas as the 5th most valuable player in the world after Lionel Messi, Christiano Ronaldo, Xavi Hernandez and Andreas Iniesta.
Barcelona will have to break the bank if ever there was a decision made to sell Cesc.
The impression I get is that no one really knows whether as reported, Cesc has asked for a transfer. For one, that will be professional suicide on his part, not only because it will antagonize the relationship he has with the manager and other Arsenal players; by asking for a transfer he will forfeit some serious benefits and short change himself.
The long and short of it is that it's just another summer when Arsenal players become target practice. Arsenal are not interested in selling (though I would read that as "we won't sell unless Barca are silly enough to unleash an eye-watering offer that is too good to turn down").
Cesc will leave Arsenal at some point in his career, and the only known and verifiable fact is that his departure will be on Arsenal's terms. The club is bigger than any one individual and it will not be rail-roaded into a transfer by the media or an impending Barcelona presidential election.
Until then, let's enjoy the summer and go easy on self inducing heart attacks.
IS Anti-Arsenalism A Reality Or A Myth
Like many Arsenal supporters out there, I suffer from an acute case of Arsenalitis. It's a disease characterized by a deep emotional attachment to anything that has to do with Arsenal football club.
Some of the symptoms include chronic insomnia when the Gunners lose games or draw games we should have won; and frequent bouts of hypertension and anxiety attacks when we feel the club is unfairly being misrepresented in the media.
Despite the responsible thing of managing one's own health and well-being say by not watching or listening to diatribe – you can't help but notice the blatant cases of bias against Arsenal.
So is this anti-Arsenalism really a myth, or shall we stop beating around the bush and call it what it is – blatant bias and xenophobia by the establishment towards Arsenal?
Years ago, my Liverpool loving friend Dean asked me why I love Arsenal so much. You see, Dean and I grew up together and we've been really close friends for just shy of 30 years.
When we were kids, we played our own leagues in the council estates and equivalents of Hackney Marshes. This was in the early to mid 80s when Liverpool were flying and many of the local neighbourhood teams adopted the names of big clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United, despite the fact that we were lucky to even watch a televised match once a month in our part of the world.
The funny thing is that we knew more about the team we supported and the players of the time, than we did about school work and the local curriculum. Prozone would have been proud of us at the time.
Dean was the local Liverpool's star. Their Graham Souness, the guy who made them tick. He's the only footballer who I know will nutmeg you and dribble past 3 players, turn towards you with that impish "gotcha" smile, before smuggling the ball into the goal from a ridiculously impossible angle.
So I wasn't the least bit surprised about his allegiance to Liverpool. His question to me about the roots of my allegiance to Arsenal did make me think though.
I suppose the biggest driving factor for me is to do with what Arsenal as a club represents. Victoria Concordia Crescit says it all, but it's much more than that. It's about the club's values and philosophy of openness and opportunity. About the clubs desire to go about things in the right and fair way, and about the clubs patience and determination to develop an ambitious vision, stick to it and work hard at realising it.
There are many aspects of Arsenal's journey over the last 2 decades that are a reflection of my own journey in life. In the last 18 years in particular I've identified more with the Gunners than any other development in my life I guess.
Friends tell me in a way that I'm lucky that my wife is also crazy about football. The down side though is that she's a diehard Chelsea supporter (yeah! I know) – but I guess we all make sacrifices in life and have to live with the consequences.
Perhaps these are the reasons why I feel more sensitive and aggrieved about the open bias towards Arsenal that I encounter every day from the English football establishment. And it's not paranoia. I know paranoia, believe me.
I'll give you 4 examples (and there's loads more) to illustrate my point.
1. Broadcasting of Arsenal Games on TV or radio
I'll cite the group stages of the champions league. Out of 6 match days, there's 24 opportunities that 2 radio stations have to broadcast the commentary for the games involving the 4 English sides.
I've used radio as an example because on the specific Tuesday and Wednesday nights of the Champions league match days, I was working and where I was , we can only listen to radio.
Out of the 24 opportunities that both radio stations had, only one Arsenal game – the match day 1 game between Standard Liege and Arsenal was broadcast. In a fair world, you'd expect that more than 1 out of 24 Arsenal games would get air time. In most cases, both stations broadcast the same match involving either Chelsea, Man United or Liverpool.
Don't even get me started on the debacle of the Sky vs. ITV split that sees Arsenal relegated into broadcasting wilderness.
2. Anally Retentive Commentators.
It' was refreshing that in his last webcast to Arsenal supporters, Wenger confessed that he rarely watches Arsenal games on TV with the volume on. The outright bias and diatribe the commentators have against Arsenal can drive you loco.
It's almost like it's a scripted attempt to brainwash Arsenal fans with negativity. Whether it's constantly referring to Gallas's drama at St. Andrews in February 2008, or the application of selective amnesia that blanks out any virtues of the Arsenal game and amplifies Arsenal's shortcomings; some commentators need to be lynched.
In many cases, commentators have publicly referred to the opposing team as "our". I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they're on the opposing team's payroll, but to be fair, such commentators are just thick.
3. Xenophobia towards Arsenal's colourful squad
The constant references to Arsenal's supposed lack of English players is mind numbing and bang out of order. They serve to reinforce stereotypes that promote the dislike of the unknown and the misunderstood, and essentially fuel xenophobia.
The way the non-English mantra is latched on to suggests that there is something inherently wrong with not being English. An argument has been made that the English premier league is actually English in an attempt to justify the xenophobia.
Frankly speaking, in the 21st century, that's an argument that needs to be filed right between shit and syphilis. There's no room for that level of ignorance and arrogance for that matter in a game that is prostituted around the world as the best league competition on the planet.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the Premier League is only popular in the world because of the myriad of international players and managers in the game. If it was still quintessentially English, the league would still be in the wilderness of the mid 80s to early 90s following the 5 year UEFA ban caused by hooliganism.
Furthermore, the billions of pounds Sky and other TV broadcasters pump into the game is only made possible by the ability to sell broadcasting rights all over the world. The English premier league can't be a reality without non-English participation.
Inevitably, Arsenal is the whipping boy of this "you're not English enough" band wagon. It's a shame that no one takes notice of the composition of the Arsenal youth and reserves team, and Arsenal's stellar work in bringing through talented English players for the future.
4. Misguided truths or convenient lies about Arsenal
Take your pick:
- Arsenal don't have strength and depth
- Arsenal need an English spine to win the EPL
- Arsenal must play ugly to win
- Arsenal can't hack it if you bully them or kick them off the park
- It's OK to actually kick them weak and brittle Arsenal players
- Arsenal are broke and there are a poor man's imitation of the big 2 clubs
- If Arsenal don't win a trophy this season then Wenger must go
- Wenger is a tight fisted egomaniac who refuses to spend money for big name transfers
- Arsenal are a selling team
You get the picture…
Basically a narrative has been building for several years now to serve the purpose of pigeon holing Arsenal into an also-rans outfit. There will always be a negative edge pursued on any Arsenal story.
A good example is when Andrey Arshavin said that Arsenal needed a miracle to have all their first team players available at the same time. This was swiftly rehashed and reported as "Arshavin says Arsenal need a miracle to win the title"
What is also noticeable is the contempt and disdain that Arsenal and Wenger are held in by the I-Zombies (pundits and hacks) in football. Most of them find it really hard to hide their contempt for all things Arsenal. It's so pathetic to watch them pretend to be impartial.
It's true what they say though. If they hate you this much, you must be doing something right. Is choosing to win by playing beautiful football such a bad thing?

Hi All - My 21 year old daughter is off to Italy tomorrow to visit her boyfriend spending a college semester in Florence.
Our assignment is to share an 'American Dinner' recipe that she and her boyfriend can prepare in Florence for their host family.
I'm stumped, mainly because I like to cook like they do in Italy.
Any thoughts on how to prepare an awesome 'American Dinner' that the boyfriend's host family would appreciate?
Many Thanks in advance....

What I love about this coat, besides the perfect cut that will give you a very feminine shape or the lovely navy color (I do adore navy for some reason) is that it's called the "Gossip Girl" coat!

We've all heard doctors say "Don't squat below parallel. It's bad for your knees". That's completely bogus!
Our bodies are BUILT to squat below parallel. Watch how a toddler changes levels from standing to reach for something on the ground. Our bodies are wired from birth to be able to do this foundational movement.
The squat is important for hip strength, spinal strength, knee health, and pelvic function. Executed properly, there is absolutely no reason why a person shouldn't work to develop capacity in the squat below parallel… especially if longevity and long term independence is important do you. Our bodies are MEANT to squat below parallel.
Most adults in western culture have lost the ability to achieve this position with control because of a wonderful invention known as the chair. Eastern cultures on the other hand… it's not uncommon for people to eat in this position, garden, use the bathroom, hang out with friends.
Key Health Note. There's also significantly less instance of hip or knee replacements in these cultures. We don't find that to be a coincidence.

The problem
Though very important, SAX events have some drawbacks. One of the drawbacks is that by using event-based transformers (TransformationHandler ContentHandler), it is difficult to not get lost in hundreds lines of the dumped method stack.
The solution
A debug mode might be a solution, which may consume some time - that would not be much of a problem, since errors like mal-formed style sheets or invalid xml files are things, which clearly should not occur in a production environments.
I have to look at the SAXTransformer components, and how introducing a kind of Context for better error handling should work.
Other tips
Please fill free to add your ideas here:
- The build targets "validate-config" (which also validates the xsl stylesheets) and "validate-xdocs" will help to eliminate some errors.
HTML-Kit is great app for debugging XML -- you can validate the XML or check the well-formedness of your files. Best of all -- it's free. MichaelTiffany
Try the transformations offline: Shorten your pipeline as much as possible, so that you can still reproduce the error, but you already exclude possible sources of errors. If a transformation fails, save the XML before the transformation to disk (e.g. by adding a <map:serialize type="xml"/> in front of the transformer) and test it with your stylesheet.
Another Proposal
In this message, Bart Guijt suggested the following approach:
"I am using Cocoon for almost a year now and if one thing bugs me, it is this: if something fails to operate successfully, the Java stacktraces fail most of the time to correctly show how the error occurred.
In Cocoon, we use sitemaps, XSL transformers, (additional) Java components and URI resolving to get the job done. If something fails, we get a (possibly very deep!) stacktrace from the SAX pipeline, a compiled XSLT stylesheet, the appserver and the treeprocessor in no particular order, with sometimes very misleading information.
What about a stacktrace like this:
Error <foo bar> occurred at: Java: org.apache.cocoon.components.SomeComponent.Configure:237:4 Sitemap: /test/sitemap.xmap:25 (map:generate src="..." type="SomeComponent") Sitemap: /test/sitemap.xmap:24 (map:match pattern="someresource") Sitemap: /sitemap.xmap:20 (map:mount check-reload="yes" src="{1}/" uri-prefix="{1}" - {1}="test") Sitemap: /sitemap.xmap:19 (map:match pattern="*/**") URI: cocoon://test/someresource XSLT: /xsl/foo-bar.xslt:454:53 (document()) XSLT: /xsl/foo-bar.xslt:25:10 (template: /) Sitemap: /sitemap.xmap:30 (map:transform src="xsl/foo-bar.xslt") Sitemap: /sitemap.xmap:28 (map:match pattern="page.html") URI: page.html
The information provided is probably mentioned somewhere in the Cocoon logs, but is scattered all over the place. The logs are a collection of events in no particular order (multiple users) and are not traceable to a single session. Even if you could trace these events leading to failure, it is a PITA to figure out what the execution stacktrace actually was!
I don't know much about any Cocoon treeprocessor internals (Sylvain?), but is such a thing possible? It would probably be a little difficult with the XSLT part, but even then: Xalan fires trace events which are perfectly suitable for this job.
So... how about it?
For the Cocoon 2.2 version of course!!"

Help evaluate our Anxiety Self-Help Group programs
Hello readers,
WayAhead has engaged the University of Sydney to help us evaluate our Anxiety Self-Help Groups.
To do this we need people who have a lived experience of anxiety (e.g., social anxiety, phobia, panic attacks, agoraphobia, obsessive compulsive disorder) to take an online survey.
The study is important because it will help us shape our future Anxiety programs.
We would really appreciate your input, it doesn't matter whether you have attended a Self-Help Group or not.
The survey is anonymous unless you choose to provide your contact details. It should take around 10-20 minutes to complete.
So please complete the survey by clicking on this link.
If you would prefer to take the survey over the phone, you can. To do this, or to ask any questions about the survey, please contact Bridget Berry by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone on 9036 7420.
The survey closes March 2nd. Thanks for your assistance.

A conversation with WannabeWriter at our writing group meet-up two weeks ago got me thinking about certain things that have prepared me for writing and telling stories.
I suppose I've been making up stories since my parents forced my brother to share his dinosaur toys with me when we were small children. He would smash them into each other. I'd divide them into families and create stories with them (though come to think of it, the triceratops mommy and stegosaurus daddy would not have been able to produce a t-rex and a brontosaurus as children unless mommy triceratops was keeping something from Mr. Stegosaurus!)
Of course after a thousand games of make-believe, my friends started to get tired of playing through either age or popularity. However to my luck, right before my pre-teen years I discovered online roleplaying games. My involvement started small with a Star Wars chat-based game and then evolved into generic fantasy on not only chat rooms, but in forums. Forum posting and chat rooms were probably the main vehicles for teaching me how to write. Many times when you needed to collaborate with another roleplayer, you had to be able to create the scene as well as interact with the character. You also had to learn how to respect the boundaries of your and the other person's characters and plotlines, or the other person would not take you seriously and won't play with you anymore.
|You want me to do what with whom and that herring?
Also, if you were lucky like me, you would find a group of people who would give you advice and encouragement in writing your posts. I kept writing my own works, mind you. Though looking back at what I wrote back in high school and also at the style I am writing with now, the only ways I could submit the previous works for publication is to either change the stories completely, or rewrite most of what I have and pass them off as a YA novels.
Anyway, I digress
Later on when I started college, my classmate and friend Laura got me into tabletop roleplaying games. Now there were rules on what you could and couldn't do, what you could and couldn't be. It didn't stifle creativity, though. Rather it gave it parameters to work within. Hell, my first tabletop character was a renaissance festival juggler who had been hit in the head one too many times with clubs, and according to my character sheet, the only two things I was good for was juggling and comically insulting people. Within the first 15 minutes I had done more damage out of anyone in the party. Looking back now, I find it rather entertaining that 3 years later I met her real life equivalent while I was working at the Georgia Renaissance Festival.
|Tiny, but fierce!
Through gaming, we learned that failure was not always an end all, but rather it was just another path to something more interesting. We also learned that even the most basic or flawed of characters had the ability to become epic in their own right. Eventually I started live action roleplaying with Forest of Doors as a full time monster/ non-player character where I was required to switch characters up every half an hour or so--not only did my costumes get a full run of the gauntlet, but I needed to adopt different belief systems, cultures, and motivations-- and thus learned how to provide a greater of variety of characters beyond what I pulled from my own personality and intuition.
|Laugh about them all you want, but they probably know a hell more about characterization than you do!
They say that it takes 10,000 hours (or 10 years) to master a craft. I think though in terms of writing fiction, this statement is bollocks. Most people may probably think that only writing, writing classes, and reading books on writing constitutes experience towards story-telling mastery. However there are so many other ways to learn character and plot development that you probably never even heard about. You can probably write for 10 straight years and still not be able to master telling a story unless you have other experiences to support it. Sure, you can make a paragraph flowery and powerful, but can you write and understand a convincing relationship between two characters?
Ever do any acting? You're getting experience in character development. Write and poetry or song lyrics? You're getting experience in language and perhaps plot development depending on the nature of the work. Watch television and the news? You have an abundance of possibilities before you in learning about writing and storytelling as a whole!
|Though conversely, you can also learn a lot about what NOT to do when writing.
So faithful readers, as an exercise I want you to start paying attention to the activities you are involved in and what can you learn from them. I did it mostly with roleplaying, but I also played music, acted, watched documentaries, and simply surrounded myself with a wealth of experiences. Do you work with doctors or engineers? Start paying attention to how they interact (or don't) with each other, does their environment influence their actions or attitudes? Do you like jogging? Start paying attention to the people and areas you pass, create stories in your head about them based off of what you see and hear. Have a favorite stand-up comedian? Pay attention to his words and expressions and try to figure what it is that makes him funny and successful, use it for one of your characters!
When you start becoming one with the universe and how it can work, the more likely the universe you create will become just as real as the one you live in. So get out there and experience the endless possibilities, yourself! In the meantime, happy writing!

I am a programmer and work on multiple apps im developing for the android platform I don't know much about the phones because they are so numerous but I was thinking of a Droid X. I want Fast, big screen, something I can keep for a long time and not get outdated as soon as I get it. And something with alot of aftermarket support (probably cyanogen capable since the ally wasnt) Is their a phone compare chart anywhere with the hardware ranked? Like CPU Speed, and Screen size and what not?

Good and bad of S Corp investing in home with employeesSubmitted by Anonymous on Sat, 2010-06-05 08:54.
Hey Linda,
my dad and mom own a pawn shop that is setup as an S Corp. We want to buy a home down by the lake for me to live in and for them to also use when they want to. I don't know how many days I'll start off staying there, but eventually I may just live there full time.
What is the good and bad of the S Corp investing in this house with us? My dad is pretty sure it is legal for it to invest, he just doesn't know what the ups and downs of it are regarding taxes? Will it save us some money? Will it cost us more?
C corp conversion to S Corp , capital loss questionSubmitted by Anonymous on Sat, 2010-05-01 13:58.
I was told when I converted from a C corp 3 years ago to an S corp to get appraisal values on all the real estate which I did. Now I find that 3 years later some of the properties have decreased by 20%.
1. Can I make use of this "negative capital gain". otherwise what was the purpose of valuing the properties at the time of the conversion.
I am being told roughly 35% of the sale value as it is all written off to the corp and then the distribution is taxed at my income level and not at a dividend level or at a capital gains level.

Many stories from the Indian literature tell the tales of Lord Hanuman protecting devotees of Lord Rama and helping those who seek his either spiritually or otherwise. Swami Tulasidas has written these lines in respect of Lord Hanuman's great character, in praise of his powers and also devotion.

Roles For Hanuman Ji In Mahabharat:
Mahabhisha, however stared. He stared at her to his heart's content. In fact, his gaze was so intent- or was it the presence of the god of winds, Vayu deva- or was it mere chance that Ganga's garment slipped from its precarious position exposing her full womanly endowment to all those present. The celestials, Brahma included, bowed their heads and closed their eyes, allowing Ganga to make the necessary adjustments. But Ganga had eyes only for the erstwhile mortal who looked back at her calmly, his amorous intent writ clear upon his face. Mahabhisha stared and Ganga stared back and their game of stares irked Brahma considerably, who used all the four mouths at His disposal to place upon Mahabhisha the starer a terrible curse.
"Be you recast in the mould you don't seem to have outgrown. Return doomed to live, suffer and die as a mortal upon Earth."

This curse of Brahma was not the only curse being pronounced upon a divine spirit at that time.
Visiting the earthly hermitage of the sage Vasishta were the eight spirits, known as the Vasus. Vasus were responsible for cosmic phenomena such as the climatic conditions of the worlds and each Vasu had taken for himself a pretty wife whom he dearly loved. One of those wives was greatly impressed by the supernatural abilities of Vasishta's famed cow, Kamadhenu. She saw tremendous benefits in keeping the cow to herself. Therefore, knowing that Vasishta would scarcely permit a transfer of ownership of his dear cow, she implored her husband Dyaus to steal and make away with the animal. Dyaus was momentarily torn between fear of the sage's wrath should he come to learn of his culprit (and a powerful sage such as Vasishta would, without doubt, learn) and the promise of amatory delights that were sure to come from his pleased wife. Dyaus chose. He enlisted the help of his seven brothers and made away with Kamadhenu in Vasishta's absence. His mischief, however, was not to remain hidden from Vasishta's knowledge for long. Upon returning to his hermitage and seeing his beloved cow missing, Vasishta used his sagely vision to divine the truth of what had happened. And thus, at the precise instant when Brahma the four headed was issuing a curse on Mahabhisha for having stared, Vasishta mimicked His action and placed upon the eight Vasus the same curse. Birth as mortals upon Earth, for having exhibited behavior unworthy of beings of higher status.
Now while Mahabhisha was bold enough to ask Brahma to choose which family he'd be born into (deriving this boldness from his perception of the intensity with which Ganga reciprocated his erotic intent), the Vasus timidly requested Vasishta to release them from the curse. Vasishta, who learned the part each of the eight had played in the cownapping, promised to the Vasus that seven of them would be released from their curse within a year of their birth. Dyaus, also called Prabhasa, however, would have to suffer for longer. Vasishta added to his misery by also imposing a rider on his curse that forbade him the pleasure of womanly contact in his life on Earth as a mortal. The Vasus accepted Vasishta's pronouncement and were on their way to the heavens when they met Ganga and told her of all that had happened. As they were finishing, they realized that she was, in fact, their deliverance from Vasishta's curse. They requested to be born as Ganga's own sons on Earth who could return to her waters and be drowned in them within one year of their birth- all except Dyaus Prabhasa. Ganga considered their proposal and saw the opportunity to fulfil her own amorous desire in this process, for a mother to give birth would also require a father to seed her first. The very thought of birthing the children of Mahabhisha the starer excited her and she agreed.
Mahabhisha the starer had chosen a king named Pratipa of Hastinapura to be the father of his earthly reincarnation. His choice had been conveyed to Ganga, who promptly set to work to extract a commitment from that king that she would be his daughter-in-law. Pratipa granted her wish and it came to be that Shantanu, the youngest son of Pratipa and successor to the throne, fell madly in love with a woman he met by the banks of the river Ganga. Not knowing her to be the personification of the river and unaware of his own previous identity, Shantanu married Ganga, agreeing without reservation or hesitation to her strange condition that he not question any action of hers lest she leave him forever. The months passed and Ganga became pregnant with their first child. As soon as the child was born, however, Ganga drowned it in her waters. She did this for six other children that she bore from king Shantanu. The king for his part remained silent, though it pained his heart to see the woman he loved mysteriously walk toward the Ganga and drown infant after wailing infant in the river upon its birth. Then Ganga became pregnant for the eighth time and Dyaus or Prabhasa was reborn as Devavrata, who would go on to be known as Bheeshma. Ganga, in the hope that she might be able to deliver this Vasu from his curse too walked once more to her own waters but as she was about to place the infant to drown to his redemption, Shantanu commanded her to stop and in doing so, broke his word and upheld Vasishta's curse (without knowing, of course). Shantanu, who was Mahabhisha who had stared when no one else had stared, now asked question after question when he shouldn't have.
"Who are you, cruel woman? Why have you murdered seven of our children? Why were you about to murder the eighth? Why must I not ask you what the meaning of your actions is?"
Ganga answered. She revealed her identity as the goddess who granted deliverance by flowing as the channel that connected all of Brahma's worlds. She told Shantanu about Vasus and angry sages and cows that were stolen. She told him that the child he had saved was actually the most cursed of them all. But most importantly, she told him that their time together was at an end. No longer were they to remain husband and wife. She took their son with her, promising to return him to Shantanu when father and son were ready to be re-united.
And thus it was that Devavrata, yet unnamed, and who would be renamed Bheeshma, paid the price for the mischief of Dyaus. I shall be back soon with another story to tell...

The Postwar Period and Cultural Transition in Italy and Germany (1945-1963)
The project aims to demonstrate that analytical tools geared to the cultural history of war can contribute to a better understanding of the years after the Second World War in Italy and Germany.
The starting point is the conviction that one of the main changes in post-1945 European public opinion was the disappearance of a shared cultural paradigm that not only saw war as a recurring and unavoidable event in the history of communities, but considered participation in defence of the community both a demonstration of one's courage in battle and a laboratory of individual and citizen virtues. Despite the impact of collective mourning on public opinion after 1918, there was only limited diffusion of a properly pacifist or anti-militarist political discourse in 1920s and 1930s Europe. On the contrary, one may broadly claim that after World War I war continued to work as a fundamental myth of political communities in western Europe, to be celebrated on public holidays as an epic moment capable of uniting nations, and defining the relationship between the individual and her/his identity, both in gender and in political terms. The crisis of representation, of memory and hence of the collective perception of war did not occur until after the Second World War. Perception of the change was slow in the circuits of mass communication. Only in the 1960s, and especially in the generational turmoil of 1967/69, is it possible to speak of a reversal of the patriotic heroic paradigm of war within European culture.
In Germany and Italy the image of war as a not essentially negative event, but rather an opportunity to display the citizen's best qualities, survived until the early 1960s, largely thanks to the conservative dynamics of mass-culture.

Lord Berkeley: My Lords, in asking my question, I declare an interest as chairman of the Piggyback Consortium and the Railfreight Group. My noble friend the Minister suggested that some Government grant might be available for the "piggyback" upgrade. If the grant were sufficient to cover the majority, or the whole, cost of the upgrade and Railtrack still failed to implement it, what action could the Government take? Would he recommend any further legislation in the absence of any pressure that the Government might put on Railtrack?
Lord Whitty: My Lords, in terms of future legislation, much will depend on the way in which this House deals with an announcement to be made later today and whether we are able to introduce in this Session the legislation for a strategic rail authority, which would deal with much of this issue.
As far as the current position is concerned, Railtrack investment is regulated by the Rail Regulator in line with the network licence, which specifically obliges Railtrack to maintain, renew and develop the rail network in a way which meets the reasonable requirements of train operators and others. The question of whether a body having paid for the whole of an investment constitutes a reasonable requirement and failure by Railtrack to respond to that therefore constitutes a breach of that condition is a moot point. It will be a matter in the first instance for the Rail
Lord Newby: My Lords, in view of the level of profits which Railtrack is declaring, is the Minister satisfied with the level of investment currently being undertaken by Railtrack?
Lord Whitty: My Lords, I am not entirely satisfied with the amount of investment and we are discussing in detail with Railtrack a number of investment proposals particularly geared at dealing with the pinch points and the lack of capacity on certain of our strategic routes. That includes the capacity for rail freight.
Lord Davies of Oldham: My Lords, does my noble friend agree that unless investment in freight facilities on this line is produced rapidly there is a great danger that freight will suffer as much as passengers do at present?
Lord Whitty: My Lords, yes. However, capacity on the railways is available for both freight and passengers. The west coast main line, on which some noble Lords will have experienced some difficulty, is also one where we wish to increase freight capacity. The two do not necessarily move in parallel; there is a degree of competition. At present Railtrack is unable to meet all of those requirements. The strategic rail authority will be a major tool that is available to the Government to achieve those ends.
Lord Brabazon of Tara: My Lords, if there is a rationing of capacity between freight and passengers on the west coast main line or any other line, which would the Government rather see: more rail freight or more passengers carried?
Lord Whitty: My Lords, we should like to develop the track in a strategic way that meets both objectives.
Lord Graham of Edmonton asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Graham of Edmonton: My Lords, I am grateful to my noble friend for his reply. Is he aware that from time to time there are press reports which are critical of both police stations and police officers in the course of their duty? Is my noble friend satisfied that the present system cannot be improved by providing national coverage to ensure that a fine service is available uniformly across the country? In particular, is he satisfied that there is a uniform standard of achievement before someone is qualified to be a lay visitor?
Lord Williams of Mostyn: My Lords, my noble friend makes an extremely important point about uniformity and the achievement of national standards. Last month an admirable Home Office research study entitled Lay Visiting to Police Stations was published. That is out for consultation with everyone who wishes to be involved, not least the national association that does such admirably good work.
Lord Cope of Berkeley: My Lords, can the Minister do his best to ensure that with the increasing public awareness to which he has just referred the public will get the whole picture following reports of lay visitors, including the great deal that our police have to put up with from aggressive and violent people, drunks and drug-addicts in order that the rest of us should be protected?
Lord Williams of Mostyn: My Lords, I sympathise with the police in having to deal with aggressive behaviour. I believe that lay visitors are an extremely important public safeguard not only for those in police custody but for the honourable, honest policemen in our society who are in the overwhelming majority.
Baroness Gardner of Parkes: My Lords, speaking as the mother of someone who was a lay visitor for many years in her twenties, can the Minister tell the House the minimum age at which someone can become a lay visitor and if there is any age ceiling? Further, is there a time limit? As I understood it, a person could serve for only a fixed number of years.
Lord Williams of Mostyn: My Lords, I do not have those details but I shall research them. Certainly they will be part of the consultative process. I believe--I do not know--that 18 is the youngest age. I do not know whether there is a retirement age, although I am informed that that is becoming the vogue in various quarters. I shall research the matter and answer fully the question posed by the noble Baroness and place a copy in the Library.
Lord Graham of Edmonton: My Lords, is the Minister satisfied that there is no shortage in any of the areas covered by the lay visiting scheme? I understand that there is a geographical spread. Inevitably, some
Lord Williams of Mostyn: My Lords, my noble friend is right. One tends to have greater coverage in built-up urban areas. Rural areas are less well served which is probably an obvious consequence of the fact that police stations tend to be much more remotely situated in such areas. That is certainly an aspect that is contained in the Home Office research study which was published in December 1998 and will undoubtedly be part of the discussions that will take place in the next month or two.
Earl Ferrers: My Lords, is there any information to indicate that where there is a lay visiting scheme in police stations those stations are run differently from or better than those where there is no such scheme?
Lord Williams of Mostyn: My Lords, I do not believe that that kind of specific conclusion can be drawn. The importance of the scheme is that it is voluntary and entirely separate from the Police Service and Home Office. Its key characteristic is that police officers and police stations do not know when visits are likely to occur. I do not believe it can be said scientifically that where a scheme works well the police station is necessarily run better. It is a very important safeguard for the public and police alike.
Lord Avebury: My Lords, is the Minister satisfied that an adequate number of persons belonging to ethnic minorities are appointed as lay visitors, particularly in those areas where the population predominantly comprises minorities?
Lord Williams of Mostyn: My Lords, I am not. That is an aspect which will be discussed in the next month or two following the publication of the report. It is very important that there should be full representation by ethnic minority, religious background and gender for those who undertake this important work.

As much as I love golden tans, I resist the urge to lie out in the sun to achieve that beautiful sunkissed look. If it isn't completely natural (born skintone) or totally artificial (bronzer), then you are tempting fate each time you lay under those rays with no protection, be it outdoors or in a tanning bed. It helps that I abhor heat, so I have especially good skin which lends itself to a rather youthful appearance. Beyond my hatred of anything hot and sweaty other than sex, I have been using facial moisturizers with SPF in them since my late teens. It does not matter how much melanin you have, you should be wearing sunscreen to prevent cancer from developing. Regardless of your budget, there is a way to protect your beautiful skin and long term health at every price point.
[RELATED POST: Get Your Skin Summer Ready ]
We're going to get our Bill Nye on here for a second because if you are like me, it helps to know what the things are that you are fighting. Sunscreen and sunblock fight UVA and UVB rays. The easiest way to remember what the difference between UVA and UVB is would be to think of the "A" for "aging" and the "B" for "burning." UVA penetrates your skin, surpassing the epidermis (what you see) and deeper into the dermis. UVA causes wrinkles, sunspots, and loss of elasticity. UVB only gets at the top layer of your skin and causes it to burn. Both UVA and UVB will mess you up, but UVB is the main cancer causing agent of the two, though it is thought that UVA can also lead to the generation of certain forms of cancer. Why do you need to know this? Aside from the fact that SCIENCE IS COOL and you do not want cancer, you need to make sure that the products that you choose combat BOTH of these instead of just protecting your top layer from burning.
[ RELATED POST: Avoid Skin Cancer With These Summer Tips ]
The next thing that you need to know is how to calculate the SPF that you need. Think of it this way: SPF # x the time it takes for you to burn without protection, or Burn Time = Time To Burn With Protection. Basically, you're calculating how long you've got until that SPF that you have applied won't save you from turning to bulgogi. Your average lighter skinned person will burn in ten to fifteen minutes of direct light. If you chose a low SPF of 15, you could calculate it as SPF 15 x 10 minutes = 150 minutes of protection. Since I have had blisters from sunburns before, I load up on the SPF. More will not hurt me, but less absolutely could – just be mindful to hydrate and stay in as much shade as possible if you buy yourself more time outdoors by using a higher SPF.
Now that you know what you are fighting and how you are fighting it, let's talk products. I used to think that sunscreen and sunblock were interchangeable words, but it turns out that they are two different things. Sunscreen, the more common of the two, filters out the UV rays. Sunblock straight up prevents it from penetrating the skin with zinc oxide or titanium oxide. The best way to fight both UVA and UVB is to find a product that has SPF 30 or higher and is advertised as "broad spectrum," "multi-spectrum," or "UVA/UVB." Read more about it from the Cancer Foundation right here.
While it is imperative that you have separate sunscreen, you might want to consider incorporating it into your beauty products. Layer up, because one usually is not sufficient in terms of actual SPF content. My personal favorite moisturizer that I have used since I was nineteen is Oil of Olay Completely All Day Moisturizer, which provides broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) coverage. I slap that on as soon as I get out of the shower and then put on a BB cream with SPF in it, usually Pond's Luminous BB Cream. Most of the time, I just use the moisturizer. I typically leave my skin naked unless it is a special occasion and I wish to contour and highlight a bit.
A good friend of mine and former esthetician, Zora Hayes, recommends starting with a natural, moisturizing sunscreen like Mychelle Sunshield Coconut Sunscreen. She then layers a base of Face Tone Controller SPF 30 by The Face Shop and tops it with Jane Iredale's Pure Pressed Minerals SPF 20. That may seem like a lot of product, but it does not feel heavy and she has the skin of an eighteen year old. At night she uses an aloe-based toner to level her skin's pH and promote healing for any rays that made it through that fortress.
For a product that is a bit less expensive than Jane Iredale, Zora recommends Bare Minerals. It's half the price and works almost as well as the more expensive alternative. If that is still outside of your price range, there are drugstore alternatives. You can get Physicians Formula Mineral Wear makeup at drug stores. The Talc-Free Mineral Airbrushing Powder is a pressed powder that delivers SPF 30! Even less expensive than that is E.L.F., ringing in at a mere $6!
Preventative skin care is key for your health, as well as beauty. While we as a society place entirely too much emphasis on youth, it's nice to remain as spotless and smooth as you can for as long as you can – especially if it means avoiding cancer!
