Maidenhead Utd 1-3 Port Vale
Port Vale at least avoided FA Cup embarrassment in front of the TV cameras as they overcame a spirited Maidenhead side on Thursday night.
Rob Page named the same starting eleven that defeated Barnsley but the side got off to a poor start as the home side took inspiration from a packed stadium and duly dominated play in the early stages.
Vale were lumping the ball to diminutive strike duo Dodds and Leitch-Smith and it clearly wasn't working and it was sadly not a shock when the home side took the lead. Jak Alnwick made a fine save but the ball was thumped home to give United the lead.
The Valiants were grateful to midfielder Michael O'Connor who headed home from a rare Vale attack to level the scores.
Then striker AJ Leitch-Smith trebled his Vale career tally with a couple of clever finishes to put Vale comfortably in front.
However, much credit has to go to Maidenhead who never gave up and showed glimpses of real skill particularly on the flanks. The home side were deservedly applauded off the pitch by Vale fans and players.
Vale will be grateful that despite the uninspiring play they are now through to the second round and still have the potential to embark on a lucrative cup run.
Vale: Alnwick, Yates, Duffy, McGivern, Dickinson, Grant, O'Connor, Foley (Daniel), Moore, Dodds, Leitch-Smith (Ikpeazu)
Subs: Neal, Birchall, Streete, Hooper, Kelly

This Friday, in honor of my new facebook friend Steven Chu, I'd like to examine his "White Roofs" campaign through a Fermi problem.
Steven Chu has said that we could all save energy simply by painting our roofs white. The idea is the same one behind why I don't wear a black shirt on a sunny day (and white after Labor Day). Black objects absorb light, and with it, heat, while white objects reflect it. So if you're trying to keep your house cool in the summer, it makes sense to have a roof that reflects sunlight instead of absorbing it. Here's the schpiel:
But how much energy do you save, really?
The Fermi Problem:
The solar flux at Earth's atmosphere is about 1360 watts per square meter. About 0.3 of this is reflected back into space, while the rest is absorbed by the earth. Given the square footage of your roof, how much energy (assumed as heat) would a black roof absorb? How much energy would a white roof absorb?
Now, you could give Secretary Chu the benefit of the doubt and assume that black roofs absorb all of the sun's energy, while white roofs reflect it all. But we're talking getting people to actually paint their roofs white. For reals! So we're going above and beyond the Fermi Problem protocol for this week's problem.
How can we test the difference in absorption between light and dark materials? Let's try placing two thermometers in the sunlight. Procure two boxes. Cover one with white paper, and the other with black paper. Put a thermometer in each box. Go inside and reread a few chapters of Dialogue Concerning Two New Sciences. Then check to see which thermometer reads a higher temperature. Let us know what you find out. Now use this information to calculate the energy you will really save by painting your roof white.
On Monday we'll be posting the results from our own experiment. Send us a photo of your experiment to email@example.com with your name and a mailing address, and we will mail you something fun for your scientific efforts!
Now, are you going to do with all the money you save from lower electric bills minus the cost of the white paint? Buy Swedish fish, of course.

Fermi Problem Friday: How much energy do you save by having a white roof?

Should you repaint your roof black every winter? Then white again for the summer, etc.?ReplyDelete

There are about 100 million housholds in the US, according to the 2000 census.ReplyDelete
Each house has a total roof area of about 50 square meters (I'm estimating this based on the houses in my neighborhood).
So the total roof area of the US is about
Roof area=(50 m^2/houshold)*(100,000,000 households)*(1 km^2/1,000,000 m^2) = 5,000 km^2
The total land area of the US is about 10 million square kilometers, so the percentage of land area of the US covered by roofs is
(5,000 km^2/10,000,000 km^2)*100%=0.05%
If we went even further than painting our roofs white, and covered them with perfectly reflecting mirrors (which would presumably reflect the light back into space), we could reduce the amount of energy from the sun that warms the nation by no more than 0.05%.
The benefit would be a little less than that, because the ground is not perfectly absorbing, and roofs will not be perfectly reflective, so I'd guess we could reduce the nation's solar heat load by 0.01% to 0.02% by painting roofs white.
Seems like a TOTAL waste of white paint to me.
I'm in Florida. It's hard number to figure, but I know I can set a pot of water boiling within a minute by reflecting 8.5 square feet of sunlight from a parabolic reflector. Considering this is about as much time as it takes to boil a pot on the stove, the energy hitting my roof is the equivalent of leaving almost 200 stoves turned on all day. Pointing a bit parabola at a dark grey cooking pot is probably not the most efficient approach either. Disturbing, isn't it? We really should try capturing some of this.ReplyDelete
Of course heat rises and the roof already reflects a lot. And of course there's insulation. Some heat is not transmitted through the roof/attic either, but through walls from surrounding air (which is a scorcher today, mind you). Air conditioning is still by far the largest part of my consumption every month though, especially during the summer (actually it stays off for both months of winter we have, but otherwise...)
Managing to reflect this relatively small amount of energy back out of the atmosphere would be interesting, but not huge. Reflecting this back out of your house would be significant, but not game changing. Capturing this energy and using it to power and cool your house? That would be a revolution.
(sorry, couldn't manage to find numbers on BTU absorption of white paint vs gray roofing)
I dispute the anonymous poster who said that painting roofs would be a total waste of time based on 0.05% of land area being covered by roofs in the U.S. First of all, the percentage of land is probably even lower, at around 0.02%, since you have to take into account the large number of households in aggregate that live in apartments or multi-family houses. Beyond that however, instead of looking at the overall proportion of roofs to national landmass, you have to factor in the concentration of those roofs at specific points (cities). Painting all of the roofs white would probably go a fair way towards reducing the heat island effects noted around U.S. cities, making for a noticeable impact on climate for many residents.ReplyDelete

Care and Maintenance Tips for Your Organic Lawn
The lawns in our Utah yards are nature's carpets, giving lush, green beauty to our landscapes. Lawns also provide us with our very own natural air maintenance device. It not only keeps our surroundings cool, especially during the summer heat, lawns also condition the air by emitting oxygen while extracting the carbon dioxide in our immediate environment. Lawns are also an effective way to prevent erosion.
However, the rampant use of fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides in our lawns also has its own toxic effects on the environment. One way to minimize the harm is by having a lawn that is not as water or fertilizer-addicted, through organic lawn growing and maintaining strategies.
Here are some of the ways Utah landscaping companies grow and maintain lawns the organic way:
– Select the grass that best suits your environment. Various grasses will thrive depending on the climate conditions, as well as varying amounts of water, foot traffic and sunlight or shade. Rather than choosing a kind of grass just for its appearance, also factor in whether that grass is known to naturally thrive in your area. Also, consider the lay of the land when choosing your grass type. For instance, when the landscape features a steep slope, rather than opting for grass, it is more advisable to choose Utah shrubs, perennials and flowers.
– Develop your soil. The quality of the soil will be a major factor in the health and growth of your lawn. You can check this by getting a piece of your lawn using a trowel. Dig and get a portion of the sod 4 inches from the surface. Sod that is soft and packed with grass blades is healthy while sod that is dry and filled with dead stems and roots indicate an unhealthy soil. Also, if your soil is accustomed to the use of chemical, the root system tends to be quite shallow because the lawn receives its nutrients readily. You should also conduct a pH test for your soil.
- Aerate. To "cure" your soil, aerate it to get rid of compacted decayed matter and to introduce air into the soil. Aeration also makes it easier for nutrients and water to go down deeper.
- Regulate the pH levels of the soil. Ideally, the soil should have a pH of 6.5 to 70. To regulate this, you may need to apply sulfur (to increase acidity levels) or lime (to make the pH more neutral).
- Apply compost. Apply about a quarter to half an inch of compost on the lawn to introduce the presence of "healthy" and beneficial bacteria, fungi and algae. Rake the compost evenly in over the lawn. Compost is available in nurseries, just check whether these are comprised mainly of decomposed organic plant material. You can also make compost tea, which you can spray or sprinkle on the lawn on a monthly basis. The best times to top dress with compost is during the spring time and autumn.
– Use organic fertilizers. Growing your lawn the organic way does not mean you have to say goodbye to fertilizers forever. You need to simply switch to the organic alternative.
– Get rid of weeds. The challenge that comes with growing and maintaining an organic lawn is the presence of weeds. You will need to be vigilant, especially during the first couple of years while your grass is growing stronger and more able to crowd out the weeds and prevent their growth. You can make use of organic weed killers rather than pesticides.
– Water the lawn regularly and in proper amounts. The good news is that if you made the correct choice of grass type, you don't need water as much. A well-maintained organic lawn will require less water since the grass roots go deeper into the ground. Thus, water infrequently, but deeply (about an inch of water every week) while the lawn is on its growth stage. Water only when the grass starts to curl. To further minimize the amount of water needed, water during the early morning, before the sun is up so that the lawn can absorb the water. This also allows the grass to be dry come night time and thus prevent fungal problems.
– Mow high. This depends on the type of grass selected. Generally, however, you should mow at 2 and a half to 3 inches tall. This ensures that the soil is nice and moist, making it conducive for the growth of the grass and minimizing the amount of water needed. The taller grass also prevents the germination of weed seeds.

Dietary restrictions don't have to ruin the Halloween fun
For most kids Halloween means they get to stock up on all the free candy. However, some kids aren't so lucky. There are children out there who have dietary restrictions for various reasons. Maybe they are allergic to nuts, sensitive to food dyes, diabetic, the list could go on and on.
For those special children, Halloween isn't always a happy time. They want to be like other children their age. Trick-or-Treating means getting candy and not being able to enjoy it.
In recent years, people have become more aware of the need for an alternative to candy and food treats. Our friends at Oriental Trading Company have some great solutions.
You may have noticed the past few years, that some of your neighbors have put up teal pumpkins. Teal pumpkins are an unspoken symbol indicating there are allergen free treats available at that home.
For the child who candy is not an option for, a simple slinky, yo-yo, or bouncy ball can bring a smile their face. Oriental Trading Company has your solutions for inexpensive bulk toys.

Is it really that big of a deal?
On high school and college campuses, a surprising market has developed and proved lucrative for its leaders. Individuals, through time and refined skills, have nearly perfected the art of duplicating legal documentation. Why would fraudulent identification cards be desirable to a high school senior? Because it allows one to say they are of the age disclosed on the ID, thereby giving them access to alcohol and other activities that are otherwise restricted for their age group. Simply stated, fake ID's breed underage drinking, underage clubbing, and underage smoking.
While the common perception of fake IDs is associated with thoughts of juvenile mischief and trouble making, it is actually against the law to possess a fake ID in South Carolina and it is punished as a misdemeanor offense. Many who possess fake ID's do not consider the possibility of legal punishment if they are caught but this is a big mistake. Possession of a fake ID could lead to a criminal charge and severe penalties that affect one's immediate position and future pursuits.
What are the penalties for possession of a fake ID in Columbia?
While possession of fake ID's is commonly associated with youthful mischief, it is actually a criminal offense which carries a harsh penalty for a conviction. If your child has been arrested for possession of a cancelled, revoked, suspended or fraudulently altered driver's license, the state will most likely file charges under South Carolina Code of Laws §56-1-510 "Unlawful Use of License, Fraudulent Application," which classifies this offense as a misdemeanor crime and assigns it a penalty of 30 days in country jail, or up to six months for a second or subsequent offense.
It is additionally possible to be charged under §56-1-515, which involves using another person's license or an altered license to defraud another person or to violate the law, which is punishable by 30 days in jail, or alerting a driver's license so as to provide false information on the license, which carries a six month jail sentence and a $2,500 fine. An arrest for any type of crime can be an especially serious matter for a college student, who may face consequences such as loss of scholarship, academic disciplinary actions including suspension from the university and a criminal record which can have a major negative impact on future career prospects.
Columbia Criminal Attorney for Fake ID Cases
If you are visiting this page, it is likely that you are searching for information on the legal implications that an arrest for possessing a fake ID may have. As Columbia criminal defense attorneys at Masella Law Firm, P.A., we are glad that you came to us for answers to your questions. The reality is that, if you're facing a charge or you are the parent of a child who was caught using a fake ID, the potential penalties are not a joke.
It is important that you take quick action to defend yourself against the prosecutors because if you are convicted of this offense, it could have bad implications for your freedom as an adult, your future as a student and your career goals as a future professional. We want to help you fight the charges and avoid conviction as much as possible so that you are provided every opportunity in the future to thrive and be successful.
When you contact our Columbia criminal defense lawyers to help with your case, you will quickly learn that we are dedicated to helping you preserve your freedom and your future as one of Columbia's youth.

Tributes paid as CIH chairman Turlogh O'Brien set to leave role
Chartered Institute of Housing chief executive Terrie Alafat (pictured) has paid tribute to chairman Turlogh O'Brien after he announced he is to step down from the role.
Mr O'Brien will leave his role as chairman of CIH's governing board on 31 March after six years to take on a role on the council of University College London and fellow board member Geraldine Howley will take over as interim chair while a decision is made on a permanent replacement.
Mr O'Brien said: "After my six years as chair of CIH's governing board, it is time for a change.
"I wish Geraldine Howley, Terrie Alafat and all at CIH all the best for a successful future in support of all who work in housing, not least those who are CIH members.
"The role of housing professionals is more important today than it has ever been. I admire the work that they do and it has been a great privilege to be part of the team at CIH providing support to our members. I am also very proud of the quality of the work that is done by the organisation to influence housing policy.
"Given the scale of the challenges facing the housing profession the need for knowledge, skills and expertise is greater than ever and that means the role of the professional body will be crucial in the coming years."
Terrie Alafat CBE, chief executive of CIH, said: "Turlogh has been an exceptional ambassador for CIH and professional housing and has overseen a challenging, but nonetheless successful period for the housing sector and our organisation.
"We thank Turlogh for the passion and energy he has given to CIH during his time as chairman of our board and wish him all the best.
"We are delighted that Geraldine Howley will be taking over as interim chair while the decision over a permanent replacement is made. Geraldine has a huge amount of experience on our governing board and is a former president."

Homework plays an essential part in the learning progress of every pupil. Pupils are given a homework timetable and journal which parents sign at the end of each week. The journal is then signed by the Personal Tutor. If problems arise the journal may be used as a means of communication between home and college.
Year 7 pupils can expect to spend an average of 30 minutes on each homework subject. Some pupils will, of course, work quicker than others and, as your child progresses through the school, homework will take longer. Teachers expect homework to be completed to a high standard and handed in on time. There is an after-school homework club available for all pupils (Prep Club 3.15 to 5.00pm and Prep Club Plus 3.15 to 4.15pm).
Show My Homework has been introduced to support all pupils in completing their homework well; providing them with resources and enabling parents/carers to help them with their homework too.
Show My Homework
All homework is set on 'Show My Homework', an online homework calendar that helps pupils keep track of their homework. This can be accessed via the school website or at https://strichardscc.showmyhomework.co.uk
All pupils have their own personalised account that consists of a 'To-Do' list recording all of the homeworks that they have been set. Parents/carers also have an online account to help them support their child's learning by monitoring the details of the tasks set, as well as its submission date and other information.
Both pupils and parents can log onto their account via the school website or address above using the details that they have been given. If you have any difficulties logging on to your account do not hesitate to contact one of the team at 'Show My Homework' by email: firstname.lastname@example.com or call them on 0207 197 9550.
If you have any questions about 'Show My Homework' contact Mr Tadros at the college on 01424 731070 or by email: email@example.com.
Homework Guide for Year 7 Parents
Homework is designed to support the learning of pupils in school and develop their independent learning skills. Year 7 pupils have a gradual introduction to homework with subjects being phased in during Term One. We have provision at St Richard's to complete homework at school in Prep Club or Prep Club Plus*. Both clubs run from Monday to Thursday. Pupils do not need to 'book' a place and are free to go after homework is completed.
*Prep Club Plus is designed for pupils with additional needs and has more support staff on hand to help pupils with their homework.
Each piece of homework should be differentiated for your child's ability. A piece of homework should take no longer than 30 minutes. However, in some cases such as projects/investigations homework is given over a longer period of time and may take longer e.g. a history project over two weeks will equate to 4 homeworks x 30 minutes. If you feel your child is doing too much or too little homework in one subject, please contact the subject teacher directly. If it is more than one subject feel free to contact their Personal Tutor or Pastoral Leader to liaise with staff. If you feel your child has done 30 minutes of 'quality' homework and it is still not completed you can sign their book or journal indicating that this is as far as they got within the time frame. Please use your discretion where appropriate.
Homework Guide for Years 10 and 11
As the demands for GCSE begin in Year 10, it is essential for all pupils to get into clear routines that allow for two hours of either homework or study at home.
Homework will continue to be differentiated and will always be tailored to the standards expected for each GCSE. In addition, a variety of online resources (all accessed from the school website, via the VLE) are in place to support revision for the numerous internal exams each pupil will sit over the course of KS4. In particular, you will find access to GCSE pod, shared resources through Google Drive and revision padlets for all subjects.
Prep Club and Prep Club Plus are available for KS4 pupils and we encourage their attendance. During these years, teachers will put on many support and intervention sessions in their particular subjects. Regular attendance at these sessions will really help support both the homework and revision process.

Preliminary Year
The preliminary year interns are an integral part of our medicine residency. Here at Virginia Mason we offer five preliminary year positions. These are for residents who need an internal medicine year before entering their specialty of choice. This is in contrast to the transitional year, which also includes surgical rotations. Preliminary year residents share the same rotation requirements as categorical medicine residents except that they do not have a continuity clinic. They can choose from a wide range of electives often including their specialty of choice, which presents a unique networking opportunity for those who hope to return to the area.
Our preliminary year residents are given the same responsibilities as categorical interns including teaching medical students and presenting at conferences. They are also free to pursue research opportunities and quality improvement projects of interest. Each year, our preliminary year residents join the categorical residents at an overnight fall retreat, which is the beginning of many long lasting friendships.
Typical post-preliminary year residency plans for the last three years have been:
Dermatology: Stanford University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Texas at San Antonio
Ophthalmology: University of Washington, University of California, Los Angeles
Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation: University of Washington and Rutgers, New Jersey
Radiology: University of Washington
Dermatology: Kaiser Permanente – Los Angeles Medical Center, University of Utah, University of Washington and George Washington University
Anesthesiology: Virginia Mason
Dermatology: University of Washington
Ophthalmology: University of Washington
Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation: University of Washington
Radiology: Washington University in St. Louis

A large part of the group's research concentrates on algebraic topology and algebraic K-theory, with applications to geometric topology.
We study structured ring spectra, which represent multiplicative cohomology theories, but considered as "brave new rings". In particular we are interested in viewing these ring spectra as generalized rings of functions on new geometric objects. In this way we wish to systematically understand invariants of these new geometries, such as their algebraic K-theory, their differential geometry, etc. One goal is to use this geometric perspective to explain the structure of the algebraic K-theory of group rings over the sphere spectrum, which in turn explains much of what we know about automorphisms of high-dimensional manifolds. The methods presently used for this study include topological cyclic homology, topological Hochschild homology, topological André-Quillen homology and topological logarithmic structures.
The group is also involved in relating homotopy theory at large to other subjects. Motivic homotopy theory is an in vogue example of a homotopy theory that arises in algebraic geometry. An emerging example is a new homotopy theory of C*-algebras.

Today's video is all about the bullet journal I'm using as a wedding planner. Even though we haven't set a date yet, I've been doing some research on planning a wedding. Things like working out a budget, writing a guest list, invitation etiquette, and so on. I'm using my wedding bujo as a catch-all for this, and will also be using it when we start planning properly.
Watch the video to see what it all looks like at the moment, and if you want any information about sources, please check below.
Wedding Planner Resources
I used a PDF from Russel and Hazel to help work out the wedding timeline and checklist.
I used this infographic about a wedding planning timeline (it matches pretty well with the above).
I also used this article from Rock N Roll Bride for my planning overview.
For the budget, I used this PDF from Botanical Paperworks as a guide to the breakdown of spend. Check out their wedding freebies for more fabulous resources (and pretty printables!)
I also looked through Rock N Roll Bride's wedding planning category to gather info about the budget as well as everything else.
This is a nice article by DIY Frugal Bride about creating a wedding planning binder. I used her list of sections and categories as a guide to those which I have, and plan to have, in my bujo.
What I use to bullet journal
- Leuchtturm 1917 medium dot grid notebook in pink (bought from 1917.co.nz)
- Pilot G-Tec-C 0.4 pen in black
- UniPin Fine Line 0.5 pen in black
- Staedtler Triplus Fineliner pens in assorted colours
- Whitcoulls Fineliner pens in assorted colours
- Faber-Castell coloured pencils
- Zig Art & Graphic Twin markers by Kuretake
- Ruler

|These products have all been well loved and well used!
As you can imagine, as a beauty blogger my bathroom shelves are heaving with lotions and potions and so it was with a sigh of relief that I finished up this trio of body and skincare products to make room for some other goodies in my stash.
I've finished up NUXE's delicious fondant body scrub (which I wrote about here), Clarins excellent Gentle Refiner Exfoliator cream (which I repurchase again and again) and Optimals Time Relax Eye Pen (which you can win as part of my current Oriflame giveaway here).
I was really impressed with all of these products and I would certainly repurchase – were it not for the fact that I'm stockpiling skincare at this stage, and have so much to try out and tell you about!
Here's what I'm trialling in their place: Vichy Nutri Extra exfoliating body cream, Gentle Face Exfoliator from Liz Earle and Eye Rejuvenating Serum from the Giorgio Armani Regenessence [3.R] line.
I'll report back soon!

2016 was the worst, right? I mean, everyone died, and we elected a Cheeto for president.
Except that it really wasn't. I mean, 2016 was pretty good on a personal level.
I got a new job, and we moved to Milwaukee.
We rented a house with a yard, one of the things I wanted to do before I was 30.
We had friends come to visit for long weekends of fun.
We decided to get married.
These two kids GOT married on a beautiful day in November.
I traveled all over the country. I am a pro at planes now. And at drinking in airports.
Herself remains alive, though she has defied death in more ways than I care to count.
Bad things have happened, too, but what's the point in dwelling on them? They will have less hold on us than the good things in no time at all, especially if we choose to let the good things that make us happy define us.

Great car, experience, decision
By Bizquik on Monday, January 11, 2016I want to write this review because I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what car to get and also to justify spending more money that I originally planned to. I looked at a number of SUV's priced in the high 20's and low 30's. Ultimately, I either didn't like the way they looked or how they drove. Most cars – luxury or otherwise – either were not AWD or just looked boring. Besides the look, I wanted a driving experience and a car that was reliable and safe. According to Consumer Reports, the new A3 has great safety rating and the realiability is suprisingly good. After a ton of research, I took a leap of faith on the reliability after owning Japanese cars to this point. I have owned my car for 6 months so I feel it's a fair time to write a report. Although it is probably too early to comment on reliability, I can talk to other points. First, the driving experience is pretty amazing. It has great pick up and zips around great. I live in the mountains so going uphill or taking curves is effortless (compared to other cars / SUV's I have driven or been in). Second, I have now driving in snow a number of times and it feels like vecro is stuck to the tires / road. It handles so well that I couldn't possibly be happier. I never think twice about road conditions when it comes to this car (of course, you have to worry about other drivers). As for appearance, the car is really sharp. I have gotten my fair share of compliments. The interior is smartly designed – everything makes a lot of sense and it's easy to navigate. The car heats up / cools off really quickly. The seats are adjustable in a lot of ways and super comfortable. And the interior just looks sharp. The headlights are pretty terrific especially the high beam - both make it much easier to drive at night (I live where streets are not really lit up and tend to be really dark). I ended up with the Premium Plus with the premium stereo and the driver's assist. Actually, I really wanted the stereo after reading a lot of reviews but the driver assist wasn't on my 'radar'. Here is something I learned – not all dealers order the cars the same way. One dealership tried to have me believe that unless I bought the highest end A3 that the radio wouldn't be an option. Then I went to another dealer to find out that they appreciate good sound and order a lot of their cars with the premium stereo but also a couple other features people might want. He tried to convince me that the driver assist is something I would love as well once I used it. He's a sales guy – I'm probably not going to believe everything he says. Well, he was right. I love having it as well as the cold weather package (especially but not limited to the seat warmers). Needless to say, to this point I am super happy with my purchase. In the end, I might have spent a little more than I initially had wanted to but it was well worth it all the way around. The driving experience, the amazing stereo sound, the peace of mind, and all the other little things confirm that my research and patience really paid off. I hope my review will help you save some time and answer some questions you might have already had.

Really enjoying my new 2017 Audi A3 2.0T Quattro
By Steven on Sunday, October 22, 2017Just purchased a CPO 2017 Audi A3 2.0T Quattro and I am very impressed. The ride and handling are excellent and the engine is smooth and responsive. The duel clutch is very precise and when you floor the car it jets off with a very smooth sound and feel. The leather steering wheel and leather seats feel so good and the sunroof is also really cool. The infotainment system is complicated, but works well once you master it. The standard sound system sounds great. Overall I am very impressed and I love driving it and I love looking back at it after I park it. It is a beautiful car inside and out.

Solid Feel, Comfortable, Elegant, Confident
By Jgolden on Friday, September 16, 2016I've had my A3 2.0T Quattro sedan for 7 months and 15000 miles. First off, the car is regularly complimented as "beautiful". I am drawn to the classic Audi design. The exterior is smooth, flowing, and gorgeous (there are no tacky fake vents, strange angles, deep creases or other fad-inspired styling gimmicks) and this makes it easy to wash the car by hand! The interior design is pure calm, with thoughtful matte finishes, real aluminum accents, and controls which feel great to the touch. All latches and mechanisms feel and sound sturdy. I find the front seats very comfortable (no aches, no squirming around) even on extended highway trips such as travelling from Texas to Florida. The overall performance is satisfying, as the 2.0 turbo and all wheel drive make for a confident driving experience. Tire pressures are supposed to be set at 41 PSI on my model, but 35 PSI provides a greatly improved ride & handling experience. Around town, with stop and go driving, you may notice the DSG transmission has a slight shudder when letting off the brake pedal...to roll forward... but it is normal and can be completely ignored after a few drives. Rear seating is decent, but not a priority for the A3 buyer, though rear seat passengers do get their own AC and heater vents... a very nice touch. This is NOT a big car, and it is not designed to haul growing families and bulky cargo, but I've used it to haul tons of beach gear, dogs, bark mulch, shovels, concrete landscaping pavers, you name it. A car is still a tool, after all! As a final point, my dealer experiences have been superb, with super modern and clean facilities, car wash service, and great staff.

7 lightened-up versions of your favorite foods.
Let's get real: When you're pregnant in the dead of winter, controlling your weight is no piece of cake, although you'd probably like to eat one—and then another. We share our favorite recipes for comfort foods with a lighter twist to give you more energy and protect your and your developing baby's health.
Recipe: Macaroni and Cheese Traditional mac-and-cheese recipes can contain up to 1,000 calories and almost 60 grams of fat per serving. Slash the fat by using reduced-fat cheeses; Jarlsberg is particularly good because it has a more piquant flavor than cheddar and thus can be used more sparingly. Nutmeg also helps punch up the flavor.
Recipe: Chicken Tenders Marinating the chicken tenders in low-fat buttermilk (the longer, the better!) makes them juicy, tender and flavorful. Panko (small, flaky bread crumbs common in Japanese cuisine) or finely crushed unsweetened cornflakes provides a great crunchy texture. Using only 2 tablespoons of oil instead of the 4 cups usually used when making fried chicken cuts the fat considerably.
Recipe: Chocolate Parsnip Chili Winter-white cousins of carrots, parsnips contain more fiber than their orange counterpart to help combat constipation. Plus, they're a good source of folate, which helps prevent structural defects, such as spina bifida.
Recipe: Maple-Glazed Rutabaga With Toasted Pumpkin Seeds A rutabaga is slighty sweeter than its more familiar cousin, the turnip. It contains vitamin C, which aids in iron absorption, and magnesium, a mineral that may ease constipation and improve blood sugar control.
Recipe: Turkey Meatloaf Use ground turkey instead of beef for a leaner source of protein. Herbs and vegetables add fresh flavor, so you won't need traditional gravy, which contains more butter and heavy cream.
Recipe: Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes Yukon Gold potatoes are a particularly creamy variety, so you can skip the extra butter and cream. Cooking them in chicken stock also enhances their flavor.

Here's what I think of the Singapore property market in 2016 (and beyond). I've just sold my HDB and am renting temporarily waiting on the side to jump in. If you'd like me to summarise in one sentence, I think the market has not softened enough. At the moment only the super luxury properties in Core Central Region (CCR) ~$5m and above are feeling the pinch. There are also some condominiums in Rest of Central Region (RCR) with prices above $2m that are feeling some pressure because at $2m the buyer pool starts shrinking. However, anything below $2m is still quite resilient because many owners are still holding on to their prices with hope that the cooling measures may be relaxed soon.
Let's start with HDBs
HDBs prices in general have tanked quite a bit due to the flood of BTO in the last few years. However, BTO represents only a fraction of the overall Singapore property buyer population as BTO/DBSS flats are only eligible for [married|single>35yr] Singaporeans. There is still demand from PRs and foreigners going to resale HDB and condos.
By H2 2016, many BTO/DBSS flats especially those in Choa Chu Kang, Punggol, Sengkang would have obtained their temporary occupation permit (TOP) and would be ready for occupation. Once these BTO flats are ready, there will be landlords losing their tenant(s) and parents potentially downsizing after their kids have moved out. This will lead to another depression in property prices. There are many more HDB flats TOP-ing in 2017 in more areas like Woodlands, Yishun and Sembawang and the numbers are scary; I'll leave you to do your own research here.
PRs can only buy resale
As of now (2016) the HDB resale market is still being kept afloat by PRs. There's also decent foreigner rental demand for cheaper HDB flats/rooms, but that said, the price gap between a HDB and Condo room rentals have narrowed as Condo landlords are facing the pressure and lowered their expectations.
2021 and beyond will be the bloodbath years
Here's the interesting part: I think that in 2021 (5 years from now) when all the newly built flat owners fulfil their HDB minimum occupation period (MOP), there will be a flood of resale properties in the market. The competition for resale HDB will be interesting to watch. My personal opinion is that you should consider selling your properties now if you live in any of the towns that have more than 2,000 units TOP from 2016 and beyond.
Condominiums below $2m still hot
Condos are still a lifestyle dream for most Singaporeans. Most people I know sold their HDBs to upgrade to a Condo, otherwise they would simply stay put for good. There's still decent demand for Condos right now, especially in the Outside Central Region (OCR) where decent sized 99-year leasehold condos can be had by young families for ~$1m or less to enjoy the facilities and prestige.
The amount of investing and rental activities have dropped quite drastically, however, partially caused by weak market affecting (foreign) employees and investors.
Like I mentioned earlier, condos above $2m are feeling more pressure because at that quantum, the number of real buyers, i.e. people buying for own stay, are significantly lesser as such amounts can fetch a decent landed property (more on that later). Rental yields also start to diminish at above $2m.
Seller stamp duty is a deterrent and is keeping resale condo prices high
There are also many condos TOP-ing this year and the next few years. This will cause a dip in condo rental prices within the next few years, but my gut feel is that condo resale prices will stay for now because the seller stamp duty (SSD) is a deterrent; if sellers want to make a profit, the SSD would be factored into the sale price causing resale condo prices of newly TOPed projects to actually increase. This is the primary reason why I said in the opening paragraph that the market has not softened enough — we need to ride out the SSD period.
Location, location, location
Another general observation is that there's also less price gap between 99, 999 and freehold condos as most investors look at rental yield as a baseline for their return on investment. As with all properties, location is the key to price.
For condos, expect to see drop starting in 2018 and hitting hard in 2021
Similar to HDBs, I think 2021 will be a big bloodbath. Why? Seller stamp duty (SSD) takes 3 years to taper off, so many newer projects that TOPed within these few years would have been free of SSD by ~2018 and the would be a flood of condos on resale. Then, as HDB MOPs are fulfilled in 2021, thousands of properties would be up for resale or rental. The HDB sales and rental competes directly with condos for the PR/foreign buyers/tenants.
So the big question is, can you wait?
If are intending to upgrade to a condo and bought your HDB in 2009/2010 and recently just fulfilled your MOP, you can probably still sell your HDB now for a decent profit (20-30%) from 2009/2010 prices. Assuming you bought your property for $300K, that would be close to $90K in profits. Rental market is soft now, so assuming you rented a decent HDB for around $1,800 per month, the profits can hold you through ~50 months which is more than sufficient for you to ride the tides to a lower point before buying again.
Don't forget also: meanwhile your CPF account is not paying mortgage, so all the money (and profits) that went back in your CPF is collecting a handsome 2.5% interest for your next property purchase instead of getting stuck in the current rising interest rate environment. You could easily save yourself several hundreds of thousands in dollars from current condo prices.
What about landed properties?
In general, freehold landed properties will still hold good value as the number of land plots are truly limited. It has not much direct competition from HDB or Condos as people buying landed are seeking different lifestyles and priorities. Landed properties generally do not generate good rental yield. Also note that only Singaporeans can buy landed; PRs can apply with Singapore Land Authority (SLA) but I heard that it can be difficult to obtain approval. The downside to landed property is low liquidity as the buyer pool is smaller. If you decide to plonk all your life savings into a landed property, be sure you can afford to hold it.
99 year landed properties will generally remain stagnant unless the location is good, simply because it does not provide better rental yield than condos in general. It is OK to buy for own stay and house multiple generations under one roof, but I personally would avoid it as an investment vehicle.

Court of Appeal rules on similarity of marks and "relevant market" for MR ZOGS SEX WAX goods
In a decision on a trade mark opposition, the New Zealand Court of Appeal (Sexwax Incorporated v Zoggs International Limited [2014] NZCA 311) has held that the opposed trade mark ZOGGS is confusingly and deceptively similar to the MR ZOGS SEX WAX logo. The Court also held that the opponent's trade mark had acquired a sufficient reputation for surfboard wax and surfing gear, which meant that any use of the ZOGGS mark for apparel and swimwear would lead to deception or confusion.
The opponent, Sexwax Incorporated ("Sexwax"), coined the trade mark MR ZOGS SEX WAX in California in around 1972. The mark was not registered in New Zealand, but there was evidence of use from at least as early as 1981 in the following form:
The MR ZOGS SEX WAX mark is used in relation to surfboard wax and products such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, rash guards, swimwear and towels.
The applicant, Zoggs International Limited ("Zoggs"), coined its ZOGGS trade mark in Australia in around 1992 and there was evidence of its use in New Zealand from 1994 in relation to swimming goggles. Later, Zoggs introduced swimwear under the ZOGGS mark.
In December 2009, Zoggs applied to register ZOGGS for various class 25 goods including clothing and swimwear.
Sexwax opposed the ZOGGS application. The opposition was based on section 17(1)(a) of the New Zealand Trade Marks Act 2002 which is a"public interest" provision:
"The Commissioner must not register as a trade mark or part of a trade mark any matter—
(a) theuse of which would be likely to deceive or cause confusion".
The Assistant Commissioner of Trade Marks ruled in favour of Sexwax. However, on appeal to the High Court, the opposition was rejected. The Judge held that use of the ZOGGS trade mark was unlikely to deceive or cause confusion as the mark was "quite dissimilar" to the MR ZOGS SEX WAX mark. The judge said that the concept of "sex wax" was "attention grabbing" and that the words MR ZOGS were not a prominent feature of the logo.
The Judge said that he would also have found that there was an insufficient reputation in the MR ZOGS SEX WAX mark. The Judge endorsed the Assistant Commissioner's finding that the relevant market for the ZOGGS class 25 goods was the general purchasing public and others involved in purchases of these goods, such as retailers, and that Sexwax needed to prove a substantial reputation in this market.
Sexwax successfully appealed to the Court of Appeal.
Correct approach to section 17(1)(a)
The Court of Appeal affirmed that the correct approach to section 17(1)(a) is:
i) to begin by determining whether or not the opponent has a reputation in New Zealand at the relevant date. (This enquiry is inextricably linked to thenature of the goods in question); and then
ii) to make the fact-specific assessment of the likelihood of deception or confusion against that reputation, considering the fair, notional use of the goods bearing the applicant's mark. The likelihood of deception or confusion must be assessed in relation to some or all of the applicant's goods.
The Court said that in an opposition based on use of an earlier mark there was a misconception that an opponent must establish a reputation in its trade mark amongst consumers of the goods covered by the opposed application. The correct assessment should be of the level of awareness of the opponent's mark amongst purchasers of goods to which the opponent's mark is applied.
Sexwax's trade mark was a "complex" logo comprising the phrase "MR ZOGS SEX WAX" (with the SEX WAX element in larger script) and the slogan "THE BEST FOR YOUR STICK". The Court of Appeal found that rights existed in the logo as a whole and that there was no need for Sexwax toestablish that the MR ZOGS element enjoyed an independent reputation. The Court held that the MR ZOGS element is acentral and essential part of the MR ZOGS SEX WAX logo, and a significant part of the reputation generated by the logo, because the logo would be recommendedor remembered by reference to the MR ZOGS element. The relevant comparison was between the ZOGGS mark and the MR ZOGS SEX WAX logo in its totality.
The Court held that the presence of the MR ZOGS element in the MR ZOGS SEX WAX logo was enough, if the ZOGGS mark were used, to "spark a connection in the minds of consumers" causing them to wonder whether there is some connection between the two marks.
The Court held that Assistant Commissioner of Trade Marks and the High Court had erred in determining that the relevant market in which Sexwax must establish a reputation was "the general purchasing public" (being the potential market for goods sold under the opposed mark). It is important not to conflate the test for establishing a reputation with the test that a substantial number of people are likely to be deceived or confused.
Sexwax was found to have a reputation in relation to surfboard wax and associated surfing merchandise. This is not thesame market as swimwear. However, as both marks relate to watersports, there is a "connection". Given the reputation which existed in the MR ZOGS SEX WAX mark, and given the potential use of the ZOGGS mark (based on the scope of its specification of goods), the Court held that there was a sufficient number of individuals who are aware of MR ZOGS SEX WAX mark and potentially exposed to the ZOGGS mark.
The next question was whether or not those individuals would be likely to be deceived or confused.
The Court held that Zoggs had not discharged its onus of establishing that the useof its ZOGGS mark would not be likely to cause deception or confusion. The application was refused, although the Court suggested that Zoggs could file a new application for its mark for specific goods and support that application with evidence of its use of the mark in New Zealand.

From my understanding, Islamic Law states that if a girl passes puberty, she is allowed to be married – regardless of whether she is 9, 11, 15 etc Does the law take into consideration her emotional and mental readiness to be married, despite the physical ability to be able to bear children? It disturbs me that young girls who pass puberty are automatically believed to be whole-heartedly ready for marriage and motherhood JUST because she is physically able to do so. Isnt it equally important that she is emotionally and mentality ready for this role?
Also – does Islamic Law also state that if a boy passes puberty (regardless of his age), he is ALSO allowed to be married?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is permissible for a man to arrange a marriage for his young son even if he has not reached puberty; it is also permissible for him to arrange a marriage for his young daughter even if she had not reached the age of puberty. It was narrated that there was consensus on this point, but that is provided that compatibility is taken into account and that a clear and real interest is served by this marriage.
Ibn 'Abd al-Barr (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The scholars are unanimously agreed that the father may arrange a marriage for his young daughter without consulting her. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) married 'Aa'ishah when she was six years old. Continue reading

So this tutorial will show you how to create MP3 version music in iTunes 11.
Don't Miss: How to Transfer Music from iPod to iTunes
Notes: for the music imported from CDs, possibly they are already using MP3 format. To confirm this, Open iTunes > Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings > Import Using MP3 Encoder:
How to Create MP3 Version in iTunes 11
Once selected all the files you want to convert, you'll have two options to do so:

2. Or right click on the selected files and choose "Create MP3 Version" from the context menu.
The Bottom Line
Creating an MP3 version of music with iTunes 11 is not a challenge task indeed. However, on the contrary, importing unsupported music into an iPod requires more skills. At this moment, you need a versatile iTunes Alternative solution to settle down this problem.

Here's Prado Avenue with a tram and horse-drawn carriages in about 1905.
Jan 13 '06
This is Prado. I tried to describe in the letter I'm sending at same time. The ocean in the distance also Morro castle. G.D.G
Here's a card showing Morro Castle.
The post card does make the place look inviting...also that same card the writer to Clara certainly has a lovely but not so clearly written handwriting...I know the spelling of Minneapolis, Minnesota, but the the n's appear more like r's, don't you think? It reminds me of a person not sure of the spelling so they scribble together quickly! Still If only a person had the letter too, it would probably really explain the castle too. Thanks for another interesting post!ReplyDelete
Fabulous cards! I hope to visit Cuba one day...ReplyDelete
Beautiful! Jan. 1906 was probably a good time to be there. Wish I were there now! Freezing in N.J.ReplyDelete

This is a sneak peak of some of the new Swedish pieces will be shown during the spring High Point Market. Of course the first two images are of an older release vintage...but just have such class and style. Just look at how yummy the Easter table looks in a Swedish setting.... and the faux bamboo side chairs in the gustavian style paint rub are o'la la sweet.

A trained Joey Scout Leader guides a Joey Mob of up to 20 boys and girls as they learn to share and care for each other in a social environment.
It's more than school as it extends each child's understanding of the world around them.
Joeys learn how to recognise native birds and animals and develop an understanding of the impact of our modern world on the environment.
Joey Scouts are encouraged to express themselves creatively, through games, stories and craft activities. Building monsters and spaceships from scrap items, growing plants from seedlings or singing songs together all develop a strong sense of belonging.
Joey Scouts are taught to jump in and help other people and to share with their friends.
They wear the Joey Scout Uniform so everyone knows they are Joey Scouts.
They enjoy visits to special places such as the local fire station or the zoo and visitors to their meetings create more excitement.
Joey Scouts go on adventurous activities and face challenges in a safe, non-threatening way with the support of Leaders and their Mob.
Joey Scouts go on overnight camps or sleepovers with their Mob and sometimes all the Joeys in the state at events such as Joey Leap and Joey Sleepover.
Joey Scouts usually meet once a week for an hour, in a local Scout Hall or community hall.
The Joey Scout Leader, who undertakes special training, may be a parent of one of the Joeys and will have an Assistant Leader to help them.
Joey Scouts, as part of Scouts Australia, is a multicultural, multi-faith organisation, which focuses on the development of the whole child as a member of our society.
More than anything, Joey Scouts is about having fun!
Every activity is designed to ensure that the Joey Scout goes home happy and fulfilled from their time as part of the Mob. It's for active boys and girls who like having fun and making friends.
The programs in Joey Scouts emphasise co-operation and participatory learning.
Want more information?
Contact our membership hotline on 1800 SCOUTS or email email@example.com

Lux to the ury
The lovely Anna (of Middlebury in Paris) brunched with me last weekend and lent me this book, which I have been glued to ever since. It's insanely detailed about things I knew nothing about (Coco Chanel! How to make perfume! The Japanese!) and for some reason, it's fascinating and not snobby, like you'd assume.
Since I started the book on Sunday, I've decided that I need to be a bit more luxury-oriented in my life, and by that I mean that I should get my shit together. Like make my bed in the morning. And eat my lunch in the kitchen instead of at my desk. And wash my face before bed even when I'm tired and cranky. Small steps towards a classier me.
Bloomberg and the hot dogs
I headed to the Brooklyn Public Library tonight after work. There was a crowd of people outside the entrance to the park and a few people on a stage. As I sifted my way through the group, I noticed a hot dog stand with a sign: FREE HOT DOGS. "Holy crap!" I thought, and immediately got on line.
"Shit, is that Bloomberg?!" I asked the guy in front of me.
"Yeah, that's the mayor," he said and then he told me that the rally was against crime. One of the men on stage with Bloomberg reminded us to tell our friends who have guns that they must be registered. Ah, America.
After my library shopping, I passed through the rally again and this time stumbled into free BBQ chicken! Cookies! Ice Cream! Soda! Cotton freakin' candy!
This just in: dreams really do come true.

Macon, GA (April 24, 2012)- The City of Macon is announcing a new way for the public to place service requests and receive real-time status updates through an online and mobile interface. Powered by SeeClickFix, the place-based reporting platform allows residents to document neighborhood concerns and improvements alike, ranging from litter to damaged sidewalks to missing garbage carts. Using this real-time, online reporting system can increase productivity, efficiency, and transparency for many city services and departments.
With the online and mobile reporting application, residents can report concerns through service request categories via the City's website (www.cityofmacon.net and selecting the "Report An Issue" button on the left side), custom mobile applications for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry via www.seeclickfix.com/apps, a Facebook App, and SeeClickFix.com. The phone apps are free.
The first year of this program is being funded with a $5,000 grant from the Knight Fund for Macon at the Community Foundation of Central Georgia. By funding this effort, it continues the effort to encourage and promote government transparency and civic engagement in Macon and other communities.
"By using this online and mobile program, the public can report concerns in real time, as well as track the progress of their request," says Macon Mayor Robert Reichert. "This is a way which we can improve citizen engagement and work together to build a sustainable community."
The interface for reporting issues is very user-friendly, utilizing drop down selection menus and simple clarifying questions. When submitting issues via mobile app, for example, residents can select from a list of issues and provide a description, including location and picture. Once the resident submits an issue, anyone 'watching' the area will receive an alert. The City can then acknowledge the service request, route it to the proper department, and update the request'and residents following the issue'once it's been resolved.
For this initial rollout, the City is using SeeClickFix for issues and concerns that can be addressed by the Public Works Department. This includes issues with streets, garbage, drainage, debris collection, dead animals in the road, graffiti removal, fallen trees, illegal dumping, eviction debris, and more. The Public Works Department was selected due to the high volume of day-to-day issues that they are able to address.
More departments will be added as the system is set up and staff is trained. The next Department to be included in this system will be the Economic and Community Development Department, which handles issues such as residential code enforcement.
The partnership allows residents to not only report community issues, but also view, comment on, and fix problems submitted by their neighbors. Citizens can create their own "watch areas" to receive notifications about all issues reported in their community, enabling them to follow the progress of all service requests – not just the ones they report.
Residents without online or mobile capabilities can still report issues to the City by calling the Customer Service Desk at 751-7400.
About SeeClickFix
SeeClickFix allows citizens anywhere in the world to report and monitor non-emergency community issues ranging from potholes and planted trees to garbage and graffiti. Launched in 2008, it empowers citizens, community groups, media organizations, and governments to work together and improve their neighborhoods. Through mobile web, web, iPhone, Android, and Blackberry apps, the SeeClickFix platform is the most widely-distributed citizen reporting tool in the country. SeeClickFix supports the Open311 standard that promotes improved communication between local municipalities and the citizens they serve. For more information or to report an issue, visit www.seeclickfix.com.

In Endless Book Club, Melbourne Art Book Fair International guests, Self Publish, Be Happy (London) curate a large-scale public book club across the Fair weekend. Join local book Clubs as they discuss key texts, and collaborate in a immersive and diverse literary conversation which seems truly endless.
See what's happening at Endless Book Club Day One and Endless Book Club Day Two
Program Details
Endless Book Club with This is Not a Book Club
This is Not a Book Club
This Is Not a Book Club is for people who love discussing and dissecting culture, but don't always have time to read a whole book. Instead, we choose a more digestible media that you can engage with while walking to work, cleaning your room or finishing a six-pack. This might include topical podcasts, movies, television shows and articles that reflect and respond to the world around us. If you want to dive deeper, additional material will be suggested, but it will never be mandatory. This is a space free of intellectual elitism, and full of arguments over which season of The Simpsons was best. This special Book Club for the Melbourne Art Book Fair will feature Wendy Syfret, Melbourne based writer and editor, currently serving as the editor of i-D Australia, and others.
Reading: Making Worlds: Art and Science Fiction, ed. Amelia Barikin and Helen Hughes, published by Surpllus
Making Worlds: Art and Science Fiction is an anthology of new texts by artists, curators, art historians and writers who are self-confessed science fiction fans. The linking point is the idea of science fiction as a platform for the building of alternate art histories. This collection is concerned with the ways in which science fiction might be performed, materialised or enacted within a contemporary context.
Endless Book Club with Level 87 Book Club
Level 87 Book Club
Level 87 Book Club meets every Thursday after school on Level 100 (due to renovation works) of 100 Story Building in Footscray. Level 87 of 100 Story Building is all about books. And the people who read them! They share and discuss books that they're reading, books that they're going to read, and all the in-between thoughts and recommendations that book discussions generate. But no spoilers!
Reading: 25 International Artists Who Have Made an Impact, published by NGV
Fantastic, ambitious, angry, mysterious: take a step inside the extraordinary lives and times of twenty-five artists who have made an impact, and told a good story along the way. You're invited to join author Ronnie Scott and guests on a journey through twenty-five of the most dramatic and exciting stories about artists and artworks in new NGV teen publication 25 International Artists Who Have Made an Impact.
Endless Book Club with MONOGRAPH
Founded by curator Sophia Cai and artist Charlotte Watson in 2016, Monograph is a free, bi-monthly reading circle for artists and makers. Unlike a formal book club, Monograph is a reading group where each participant discusses pieces they have read that have influenced their art practice, meaning we discuss everything from fiction, poetry, comics, art periodicals, to Ai Weiwei's twitter feed.
Reading: Filmme Fatales Issue #8: The Finale, ed. Brodie Lancaster, published by The Good Copy
In issue #8, editor Brodie Lancaster is looking towards the future – because that is the theme around which everything in this issue has been created! That's handy. Contributors – including Lesley Arfin (author of 'Dear Diary'; writer for 'Girls' on HBO; creator of 'Love' on Netflix), Danielle Henderson (creator of Feminist Ryan Gosling; writer for 'Divorce' on HBO and 'Difficult People' on Hulu; author of the forthcoming memoir 'The Ugly Cry'), Caroline Goldfarb (AKA @officialseanpenn; host of the podcast 'This Week Had Me Like'), Ruby Tandoh (hero of 'The Great British Bake Off' and author of brilliant cookbooks 'Flavour' and 'Crumb') and twenty-four other writers, artists and designers – have explored now and next, the future of film, and the hope our favourite characters hold tight to get through the tough times.
Endless Book Club with UMSU People of Colour Department
UMSU People of Colour Department
As part of the University of Melbourne Student Union, the People of Colour department advocates for students of African, Asian, Pacific Islander, Aboriginal, Indigenous, Latinx, Arab, multiracial and other relevant backgrounds. Newly established for 2017, our aims are to combat racism, promote equal representation, and create platforms for progressive dialogues. Moderated by the current department officers Ella Shi and Hanann Al Daqqa.
Reading: Gordon Bennett: Be Polite, ed. Aileen Burns and Johan Lundh, published by Sternberg Press in partnership with Institute of Modern Art.
Gordon Bennett: Be Polite follows the exhibition of largely unseen works on paper by one of Australia's most visionary and critical artists, Gordon Bennett (1955–2014). This publication brings together three newly commissioned essays by art historian Ian McLean and curators and arts writers Helen Hughes and Julie Nagam alongside documentation of Bennett's works on paper and a selection of paintings and other pieces to which they relate. The selection of works are drawn from the Estate of Gordon Bennett, comprising drawings, acrylic/gouache and watercolour paintings, poetry, and essays from the early 1990s through to the early 2000s; a period that produced work of remarkable force and revealed the artist's working methods, research focuses, and ultimately his ambitions for his work.
Endless Book Club with Yellow Wheel
Yellow Wheel
Yellow Wheel strives to be at the forefront of contemporary dance practice for young people in Victoria. We encourage the growth of the unbridled ambitions of talented young artists and challenge expectations in the search for innovation. At Yellow Wheel everyone is given the opportunity to foster their creativity and connect to the professional dance industry. Under the artistic direction of Adam Wheeler and facilitated by Joshua Lowe, Yellow Wheel is a collection of pre-professional dancers, all of which are determined to pursue a career in dance. Our dancers come from a vast range of schools, universities and institutions all with the common goal of being part of a collaborative, creative process with an emphasis on producing high quality dance works. Dancers who are a part of Yellow Wheel become part of an ensemble for the year, working on a number of key projects.
Reading: William Eggleston: Portraits, Phillip Prodger, published by Yale University Press in association with the National Portrait Gallery, London
In companion with William Eggleston: Portraits exhibition, Level 3, NGV International, this sumptuously illustrated book features Eggleston's masterful portraits, including many familiar and beloved images as well as some previously unseen photographs from his long and productive career. Eminent American photographer William Eggleston (b. 1939) was a pioneer in exploring the artistic potential of color photography. Eggleston made a name for himself with his eccentric, unexpected compositions of everyday life that were nonetheless rife with implied narrative, elevating the commonplace to art.

Introducing the new Doctor
Pages 1 2 3 4 NEXT
Jodie Whittaker congrats on being announced as the new Doctor in the long running Doctor Who series. Hey, she even worked with my favourite Doctor on that other BBC show.
The Daily Mail and it's comment section are about to lose their fucking minds.
Oh and here is her IMDB page so you can have a look at her previous work.
Oh, and no Steven Moffat. He is ggggggggggggggggggggggonnnnnne. I miss Russell T. Davis.
I watched Broadchurch but I don't remember her all too much to be honest. Hopefully she has the chops to pull the role off. I don't care about her gender, they've been building up to that for a while. I can certainly see it causing controversy in certain quarters, though.
just came here to post this
The 'new Doctor meltdown' that always happens is going to be extra-stupid this time around.
Because in some folks' minds, a female lead character is propaganda and enough to destroy a show that's been around for over 50 years and become a national institution.
Aaaaah shit.... this is going to bring the SJW and anti-SJW groups out in full force, isn't it? Ugh, time to go hide again...
Uh oh. There is a disturbance brewing in the winds methinks. *Leaps to cower heroically behind the fridge*
Broadchurch was pretty good, we shall see how this turns out. No doubt eyes will be extra meticulous in their criticism of future shows.
On one hand, there will be outrage at having a female Doctor, the Feminists/Communists/Papists are taking over.
On the other, I don't care about nuWho anymore.
New Doctor, Moffat leaving...might be time to dip my toes in again.
its been steadily improving since they got rid of Clara. Maybe with Moffat leaving for realz it can be good again.
I can see the internet rage already.
Many will claim they want to watch Dr Who just because of this (though I doubt they will), and many will swear off the show because of it (sadly I think more will follow up on that).
It's all just nonsense.
I think this is a bad fucking idea. I would have preferred a non-white or non-british doctor over a lady one any day. Mainly because I don't trust the writers not to turn the Doctor regenerating into a women into the most cringey, insufferable [1] thing ever. I mean, the show hasn't been good for at least 5 years now, but this is not going to save it. :\
I haven't watched Doctor Who since Capaldi started, I'm not about to start doing either.
So, take that, I guess?
I wouldn't have watched even if it was a white guy, but, god damn it, there's an outrage to cash in on.
Here's the trailer-
Either way, I don't really care as I lost interests in the franchise years ago. Still I wonder if they means we would see a female James Bond (Jane Bond?) anytime soon?
She's a good choice! I watched Series 10 and surprisingly the quality improved imo.
Appropriate that this is the 13th doctor. Good lord!
Hopefully they play it straight and don't give the gender swap too much attention past the initial episode. I'm just interested to see how this Doctor comes off personality wise. Capaldi's been my favorite out of New Who in spite of the material he's given.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!! The outrage to this has been delicious to behold. I've even had a text from a friend saying that he was done with Doctor Who.
I mean, who didn't see this coming, ever since it was revealed that Time Lords can swap gender? And then The Master turned into Missy and was generally well received. So I don't see The Doctor being a woman as being a problem myself, it is certainly going to add a new dimension to a character that has been an endless parade of men for the last 50 years.
Well, Moffat's work there is done.
She's a decent actor, and all the best and that, but I think it is bullshit to have gender-changing doctors (especially after 12/13 regenerations). Have a series based around a female doctor, by all means, but this just smacks of gimmickism. Then again, after the wreckage that was a number of series of Steven Moffat's writing, they probably need to raise viewing figures somehow.
Not that I've been watching it since the Clara series anywho. So my opinion is largely irrelevant.
I have no stakes in this, so imma just sit back, eat some popcorn, and watch the inevitable shit show.
I've never seen Doctor Who. I was about to watch a season on Hulu, but... I have no idea what happened, I just didn't end up watching it.
That got rid of her? Wow. Capaldi's first season was my first and currently only experience with Nu-Who, as it annoyed me that she felt like the main character instead of the Doctor. Didn't help the writing and story was absolutely awful too.
As for the casting choice, Eeeh... Seems like changing a character's gender for PC's sake, but I guess they need to do something to shake up and refresh Doctor Who if the season I watched is any indication.
To be honest, I was hoping for Judi Dench.
I like the actress. It's a shame she's going to have to work under Chibnall, who I have very low expectations for as showrunner.
It's at least ten years too late for that. If he was ever going to be Bond it should have been instead of Daniel Craig, not after him.
The Bond franchise has this bad habit of casting actors older than they should and/or keeping them on for far too long.
Bah, I was hoping for Olivia Coleman
No, stay, grab a seat and watch the internet burn.
Please be well written. Please be well written. Please be well written.
On one hand, we've got Missy who... wasn't my cup of tea honestly but wasn't bad. On the other, we had the General who made a cringey sexist joke three seconds after regenerating so... coin flip?
I am placing my bets on 13 groping her breasts and making some stupid comment about having a vag in the first 10 seconds she is on screen. Followed by Bill falling head over heels for 13 and them making out 4 episodes later. Also betting on a "Girl Power!" comment some time during 13's first episode.
hoo boy you didn't watch the season finale did you?
Im just disappointed its not Richard Ayoade.
I hope her doctor is very unlucky and has bad luck sense shes 13
I cannot help but to think its going to be a mistake. I get its built into the lore that the 13th would be a woman. However following up what Missy did with the master, there is no way this is going to measure up.
Serious question to any old-Who buffs. Is this whole 'timelords can regenerate as either gender, regardless of previous incarnation' something with an established canon pedigree, or something that has arisen purely in the tragically awful Moffat era (because I don't seem to recall it ever appearing in the RTD era)?
He's to busy being a shit version of Richard O'Brian on the new Crystal Maze.
Haven't watched Dr Who now for, I dunno when did Matt Smith take over? No real issue with a women Dr, hopefully they will do a decent job with her and that she was selected because they actually wanted to do some good stuff rather than as a side ways attempt at getting people to watch the show because, you know, controversial new Dr.
I'm hoping for the opposite or what's the point of the gender flip. If it doesn't change anything about the show then it is a pointless act.
I'm totally open to a lady Doctor, but casting Jodie Whittaker specifically makes me uncomfortable because all I can think about her was her appearance in one of Black Mirror's most painful episodes.
I'm sure she'll do a good job; it's not her fault that Charlie Brooker has such a keen sense of what buttons to press to transform a human being into a sobbing pile of boneless meat.
I'm gonna make a sexist argument for why this is a good thing and why no one should bitch: It's everything you love about the Doctor only now you can fuck the Doctor and have it not be gay.
I mean for years female whovians have been able to pine after the Doctor and make him their husbando, damn it I want a turn to whistfully wish I can be rescued away by a madwoman with a box!
Really my only complaint on the casting choice is she's not ginger.

Now that The Weinstein Company announced the limited release date for Michael Fassbender's Macbeth as December 4th, we have a new trailer to remind us what an incredible film this is, and what a must see it will be! The jury is still out on which role Michael could receive the most praise for, Macbeth or Steve Jobs? It will be another very, very, very tight and competitive year for any Best Actor talk, but a few guys are already hot on people's lips at the moment. It's my fear that because neither of Michael's films will screen at TIFF, it will miss a lot of momentum heat that is generated from that festival.

Official Macbeth US Trailer

Thanks so much for this new trailer! That line "Life's but a walking shadow" sent shivers down my spine... But what a pity they cut that quite mad grin after "How full of scorpions is my mind" out, showing other pictures instead. Can't wait to see it in Germany this fall, hopefully in a cinema that shows the original version but that's sometimes hard to find.

Although the film will be released here in the states, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see it on the big screen here in my rinky dink fly-over state of Michigan. But when I do see it, I'm sure I'll be satisfied with what Michael created for his Macbeth.
