MTAS Blogger Charlie Reynolds (@charlieareyno) looks at the success of Matilda the Musical and why it's still going strong!
Matilda the Musical is based of course on the novel of the same name by Roald Dahl. It was written by Dennis Kelly, with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin. The musical is told through the eyes of Matilda, a charming five year old girl who loves reading. At the age of five Matilda is able to overcome obstacles caused by her TV obsessed family and her horrid headmistress, Miss Trunchbull. It is one of the West End's most critically acclaimed productions, smashing theatre land records when it scooped seven awards at the 2012 Laurence Olivier Awards. It's one not to be missed.
Matilda Wormwood loves to read books, surviving through the stories she reads, ultimately giving her the courage to challenge Miss Trunchbull. The main crux of the show is her love of books, it defines who she is and make us as an audience adhere to her. For Matilda it isn't just the physical aspect of the book she loves, but the stories that are within them. One aspect of the show I want to talk about first is that of the story Matilda tells Mrs Phelps within the library. Matilda visually tells us a story about an escapologist and an acrobat, first using two rag doll puppets to act out her tale, but later they come to life as she tells her story. It is a great addition to the piece, not only does it portray the vivid imagination she has when it comes to reading but it is a wonderful way to show Matilda's desire to have parents, like in the story, who actually care about her. Matilda doesn't simply hates her parents, but we learn that she longs for her parents to love her, humanising her character much more.Matilda is in fact sent to her room as punishment because she continues to read. She climbs up to the bookshelf above her bed and perches there whilst she sings "Naughty" – by reading her books she becomes inspired by the stories. Matilda begins to realise she can be in control of her own story and discovers she can engineer her own happy ending, deciding to get even with her parents by putting her mother's peroxide into her father's hair oil. Her courage progresses throughout the show and it is the stories she reads that allows her to do this. She questions the treatment of Bruce, by that of Miss Trunchbull, shouting "That's not right!" not scared to stand up to probably one of the most scariest characters in children's literature.
Rob Howell won the Olivier Award for his set design of the musical and there is no surprise why. It is composed entirely of large wooden, Scrabble like titles with letters on them. They arch over the stage and spill out towards the balcony. Upon walking into the theatre you realise words are hidden in the jumble of letters, from escapologist to read. The tiles continue as building blocks throughout the show, a column indicates the home of the Wormwood's and a huge jumble of tiles and books makes up the library. It further supports Matilda's reliance on her books and how inspiring words can be. When Matilda and her friends walk up to the gates of Crunchem Hall, a scary sight for any five year old, bars twist this and that way, letting you know that the school is no ordinary one. The inventiveness of the set really takes off in "School Song" where coloured blocks of various sizes are shoved through the school gate into what you realise are slots. As each letter is placed the actors clamber all over the gate, siting and climbing up the blocks, it was incredible.
Miss Honey, Matilda's teacher and librarian Mrs Phelps are kind, generous and loving, both taking a shine to Matilda. Miss Honey is an interesting character as she possesses a rare gift, she can make her students adore her, and their adoration makes them into willing learners. Miss Honey soon becomes impressed by Matilda's scholastic abilities and decides to recommend to the headmistress that Matilda should be moved to the top class. She becomes frightened as she stands outside her office, feeling pathetic that she is unable to stand up to her. This is the first time we are introduced to Miss Trunchbull, a child-hating Olympic hammer-throwing champion. Miss Trunchbull is famously strong and her masculinity is the source of her insanity and the essence of her cruelty. In the novel she contains every trait of a man, so it arguably works well hat the character is played by one. The character has a hatred of femininity, specifically she can't stand pigtails. An excellent scene is recreated where at the sight of Amanda Thripp's pigtails she grabs her hair and starts swinging her around until she tosses her into the air. It was a wonderful bit of stagecraft and is one of my favourite scenes from the movie so I am glad they were able to replicate it.
The choice to use a male actor was really interesting, but it does reflects Dahl's representation quite well. Dahl paints Miss Trunchbull as a male inside and out. Her physique is gigantic and formidable according to Dahl, with big shoulders, thick arms and a powerful voice. She avoids feminine dress, wearing breeches rather than a skirt and the sport she plays is considered typically masculine. Miss Honey acts as a polar opposite, filled with femininity, she is motherly, gentle and sweet. Her essence of character stands in stark contrast to the Trunchbull's dominance. Miss Honey, unlike Matilda, struggles to find the courage to stand up to her. It can be interesting to analyse the essence of gender further whereby Matilda is defiant in the face of gender predestination, and lies as a message of empowerment. Her mother chose looks instead of books and thinks that it is more important. She is able to teach Miss Honey to stand up to Miss Trunchbull and fight back.
Both Mr. and Mrs Wormwood follow a similar trait to that of Miss Trunchbull in which they hate books. At the beginning of the second act, Matilda's father comes out and urges children to not imitate what they have been watching, the enjoyment of reading. Her mother resents Matilda because her birth prevented her from attending a ballroom competition with her dance instructor Rudolpho, also finding Matilda's reading a bizarre habit. It is evident that they are both deep down frightened of their daughter as due to her love of books, she is intelligent enough to challenge their morals. It is painful to see these adults attack what Matilda holds dearest – her books and the stories within them. What is important is that the musical understands that the story of Matilda is not just about good vs. evil, but I feel their is a deeper theme behind the story. In this story, we see adults trying to control the children's thoughts and outlook on life because as they are adults they know what it is best. However, as an audience we can see that the children are able to use their own strength and knowledge to fight back.
The song, 'When I Grow Up' reflects a similar meaning. As a song, it turns to the adults and questions their outlook. The song almost causes adults to regret that they have left a childhood behind, have lost their naivety and the assumption that problems could be solved easier as they got older. It was quite a good contrast seeing the adult cast playing the older children swing on the swings, as it shows that as adults we can remember the freedom that only a child's imagination can grant us. The children push to their limits, longing to leave the ground behind and reach higher towards adulthood, to a sense of escape and freedom. By contrast when Miss Honey walks on stage, she sits on one of the swings clinging to the naive view that adulthood is whats needed, that she feels she needs to grow up. Instead, through the words of Minchin, we realise that children are the true agent for change in matters that affect them. Maybe when we were kids we wanted to grow up, but only because it meant we could fulfil what we wanted to do as kids, from eating sweets all day and watching TV late at night. It is the perfect song that reflects Dahl's celebration of children and childhood. Minchin causes us to look back on what we longed for, and ironically, feel a sudden longing for precisely what we had, a childhood.
Matilda is one of those exceptional shows where every element feels inspired. It is one of the brightest shows in the West End, revealing talent in front and behind the scenes. The curtain call was fantastic, everyone coming out on a scooter. It was playful, so sweet and very clever, just like the entire show.

text: Humidification in the Winter Posted February 23, 2015 Air Quality Ensuring comfort in the cold winter requires more than just a warm coat, gloves and a hat. In order to keep warm, we have to be conscious of one of the most ignored aspects of cooler weather: dry air. The frosty weather pulls all the humidity out of the air, bringing many complications for your family and home. Dry air increases the dangers of everything from illness to even shocks from static. All these potential issues can be avoided with the use of a humidifier. Why does the air dry out? What can you do about it? When temperatures lower, the structure and formation of the air itself changes. The winter air has less moisture than warm air, which is why lips and skin can get chapped and dehydrated much more often in the chilly season. Our bodies aren't the only items that dry during the chilly season – wood floors, furniture and paint in and around our homes have a larger risk of breaking and chipping in the dry air. The most efficient way to increase moisture to your home is with humidification. Humidifiers provide whole-home air moisture and can bring you back control of your home air. It is easy and painless to install to your existing HVAC system to begin the circulation and allocation of dependable air. Added benefits with humidifiers Maintaining humidity levels can save you money by not having to worry about damaged flooring, furniture or paint. It can lower the chance of getting shocked through static electricity. Utilizing a humidifier can help lessen skin irritations and dry skin. Humidifiers can foster a suitable environment for indoor plants. Properly humidified home air can present plants the greatest chance at survival. Why deal with the side effects of dry air this time of year when proper humidification is a simple and effective answer? Keep your home snug and keep your family in good health this winter as the flu makes its rounds.

The allegation was raised on Twitter by a current student and a former student of the Kingston, Ont.-based university, who posted images of PowerPoint slides that were purportedly used in the class Health 102.
Melody Torcolacci, an adjunct professor, did not respond to interview requests from The Canadian Press.
Queen's principal Daniel Woolf took to Twitter to say he's asked the university's provost, Alan Harrison, to investigate the allegation. In an interview, Harrison said he and Woolf first heard of the claim when the Twitter conversation took off.
Among the questions Harrison wants answered is whether Torcolacci's department has received complaints in the past about the content of her lectures.
"I'm gathering information. That information gathering will include attempting to determine whether others in the university have ever had any sorts of issues raised with them about similar matters," Harrison said.
The local medical officer of health could actually answer that question for Harrison. Dr. Ian Gemmill reviewed Torcolacci's material two years ago when a friend's child took her class. Alarmed by what he saw, Gemmill wrote to the head of the kinesiology and health studies department to object.
"The tone of it is clearly skewed to 'vaccine is bad,'" he said. "It's got elements of truth to it, which make it slightly credible. But there are a lot of things in it which are not correct."
Gemmill later spoke with department head Jean Cote. "And I understood that this would be looked after."
Wednesday's online discussion began when a current student, Michael Green, tweeted: "Can we talk about how horrible it is that Melody Torcolacci still teaches that vaccines cause autism in university level classes?"
Former Queen's student Isabelle Duchaine, now working on a master's degree in global governance at the University of Waterloo, began to tweet slides from a PowerPoint presentation that Torcolacci allegedly used in her class. Duchaine said the recent surge in measles cases inspired her action.
One of the PowerPoint slides states there is no scientific proof vaccines aren't contributing to increased incidences of chronic illness and disability in children. Another quotes an alternative medicine website as saying it's not known whether fetuses are harmed when pregnant women get flu shots.
In fact, many studies have explored that question and have concluded that pregnant women should be vaccinated against influenza, which can cause more severe illness during pregnancy. And the alleged link between measles vaccine and autism has been soundly debunked.
Duchaine was an academic affairs commissioner on the Queen's student government body in 2012-13, when at least three students complained to her about Torcolacci's anti-vaccination teachings. She directed them to Torcolacci's department.
"I would find it very surprising that a small department like the school of kinesiology and health studies would not have been aware that this was an issue, given that they were the ones who hired her," Duchaine said, noting that the concerns were likely voiced in student course assessments.
Several former students raised the issue on the website RateMyProfessor.com.
"She cites long discredited 'scientists' and her lecture slides suggest a connection between autism and vaccines," one commented in 2012. The website does not require posters to identify themselves, so it's impossible to verify if the person actually took Torcolacci's course.
Harrison wasn't willing to talk about what the university will do if it determines that Torcolacci has been espousing anti-vaccination views in her classes.
"Slides are not lectures. Slides are a support for lectures. And so a full information gathering would require that I understand the context in which anything that is put in front of the students is used," Harrison said. "Context is everything."
Still, he said the university does expect its professors to meet its standards.
"Academic freedom is, in my view, not unfettered," he said.
"We do have expectations of all of our professors. And those expectations are that they present available scientific evidence, they do so objectively and if they have biases of their own, they declare those biases.
"If our expectations aren't fulfilled, then we'd have to consider our actions as a consequence of that."

TRU-Vu monitors – when the monitor MUST be viewed in the sun.
So what happens when an application calls for a monitor to be used in full sunlight? Traditional video display monitors do not allow the viewer to see what is on the monitor because of many things: the competing glare of the sun, reflections off the outer glass, or a minimum of screen brightness. Inconvenient, yes, but far more than that, as they make accomplishing the task, all but impossible.
TRU-Vu SRM-10.4 Sunlight Readable monitors have solved that problem, and are specifically the monitor for applications requiring monitor viewing in bright sunlight.
This series of Sunlight Readable Monitors (SRM) monitors (also known as Hi-Brite or High Brightness monitors), has been specifically created for use in precisely these circumstances. The results are sharp, clear, well- defined video images, seen even with bright sunlight directly on the screen. They alleviate the problem of not being able to distinguish what is on the video screen by utilizing their shielding Anti-Reflective outer glass and Optical Bonding. With this, these monitors eliminate internal reflections, remove the need for sun-shields, squinting or straining on the screen, all then just to see washed-out images on the monitor.
So how can these monitors actually be sunlight readable? The word 'nit' is a unit of measuring visible-light intensity, and is used to specify the brightness of a cathode ray tube or liquid crystal display computer display. A typical laptop monitor has between 150-200 nits. Most LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels have an output of between 200 and 300 nits. TRU-Vu sunlight readable monitors characteristically have additional LED (Light Emitting Diode) backlights, strengthening their screen brightness to 1,000 to 2,200 nits of brightness. No comparison!
The SRM-10.4 monitor has a large viewable area of 8.3" (W) x 6.2" (H) (211.2 x 158.4 mm) on its ample 10.4" LED backlight LCD screen. With an impressive resolution of 800 x 600 Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA), a 700:1 contrast ratio, and a notable viewing angle of 160 degrees horizontally and 140 degrees vertically, they also have a quick response time of 30 milliseconds. Add in a lockable OSD (On-Screen Display) control, by means of rear panel pushbuttons, and the fact that these industrial-grade monitors have standard to Full High Definition (FHD) resolution, a variety of video inputs and VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) mounting-hole patterns for complete integration, and are available in 7.0″ to 55″ screen sizes.
TRU-Vu monitors are all-encompassing, providing the ideal monitor for full-sunlight application. Their customizable, industrial grade component LCD monitors that offer long-term performance, and 24/7/365 operation – thanks to their high-quality LCD panels and rugged ABS or powder coated steel housing, safe-guarding them against shock and vibration. Regular retail/consumer grade monitors are designed for desktop use for 6 to 8 hours per day, and are unable to operate for longer periods – or in direct sunlight. TRU-Vu monitors are borne of the TRU-Tuff process: RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanization) silicone is on all connections and critical components, all wires are dressed, tie-wrapped and secured, and all screws are thread locked. Again, no comparison!
Variety is what sets the TRU-Vu monitors apart from the norm. Open-Frame Monitors range from 8.4 inch to 46 inches in size, and can be easily incorporated into panels, machines or kiosks. The 4:3 ratio monitors have screens from 3.5 inches to 20 inches, and are the ultimate monitor for legacy systems, matching 4:3 analog cameras. With VGA, S-Video, BNC, RCA and DVI inputs, they range from 12VDC to 24VDC or 90-240VAC models. Wider viewing angels (up to 178º x178º) permit users to clearly see images from any angle. With backlight control, optimal viewing, day or night is guaranteed.
TRU-Vu Monitors, Inc. provides a wide range of customizable, industrial-grade LCD monitors. This includes standard, touch screen, rack mount, open frame, panel mount, waterproof and Medical-Grade LCD displays in sizes from 3.5″ to 52″. Monitor modification includes size and performance, to the ability to be private-labeled with a company's name, logo and model number-impossible features from a run-of-the-mill retail grade monitor. The SRM-10.4 Series monitors are available with VGA, S-Video, Composite video inputs as well as BNC loop-thru output, and backlight control ensures optimal viewing, day or night.
The medical-grade LCD monitor collection includes 8.4 inches, 17inches, 19 inches, 22 inches, and a 22 inch touch-screen monitor. Because these monitors conform to UL 60601-1, they are the precise choice for operating room, patient monitoring and medical diagnostic equipment. Other TRU-Vu monitors for medical use incorporate a bright and fast LCD panel, and has accurate touch performance. Monitor touch by operators can be done with a finger, gloved hand, pen or stylus~ all will activate the 5-Wire Resistive Touch Screen.
These Sunlight Readable TRU-Vu monitors excel in any number of demanding applications: industrial, military, law enforcement, aviation, marine, inspection, surveying, cranes, oceanic, entertainment and transportation. Their Sunlight Readable monitors have been used during multiple major NFL stadium wins, and several large transportation applications have used their monitors inside buses and trains and on platforms. Military and Homeland Security project design wins have been credited to these monitors, as well as design wins with Medical OEM's (Original Equipment Manufacturer). TRU-Vu prides itself on prompt, personalized service and support, a generous 3-year monitor warranty, and are operated and located in the USA.
USA Security Systems Technology has an abundant selection of TRU-Vu monitors for the discriminating client. These grade-A LCD panels, and image processing boards, their exceptional graphic engines assure sharp images with bright, vivid colors. When the need arises for a monitor that perfectly coordinates with your camera, a TRU-Vu monitor will complement its abilities and take the application into the next level of technological excellence.

If you have a problem with your weight? Try to read this brief review that might be the solution to the problem you are having. It would be nice if you join VINDD and take advantage of your problem.
Vinnd builds the world's first decentralized digital health care platform to conduct an express blood test to assess your health through machine learning opportunities and cancer prevention technologies. According to Deloitte's Global Health Care Outlook 2017, effective delivery of health care and innovation is one of the most important issues. Vinnd has revolutionized one of the hottest segments of the healthcare market: weight loss and market weight management.
Vinnd aims to offer investors an attraction for investment. Investors can therefore invest in Vinnd's growth. This is why Vinnd presents a symbolic profitability scheme where the ROI comes from two channels: 1. Bonus profit 2. Growth of the symbolic market value 25% of the profits of the company leads to a distribution of bonuses. The distribution must be paid once a month. 25% of the profit is used to buy tokens on the market in order to increase their market value.
- Progressive market expansion
- Achieve 1% of the market served by 2022
Market expansion
- United States and Canada – 69% of people try to lose weight
- Middle East – the highest level of obesity in the world
- United Kingdom – Europe's largest weight loss market
- China – The largest share of weight loss market in Asia
- Mexico and Brazil – the highest rate of obesity in Central and Latin America
was developed to perform home tests. The kit eliminates the need to visit a doctor's office and allows patients to get results immediately. This prototype is in development now. The development takes place under the supervision of independent American biomedical engineers, who are
Vinnd's Advisory Board members .
The Vinnd team conducted a concept test with a focus group of 25 people using their blood test results to assess what types of foods can contribute to changes in their weight and health. In three months, 67% of survey participants started losing weight without feeling stressed. The team created individualized feeding plans for each participant. The diet does not include portion size and time, but the recipe. The recipes are made by combining the recommended foods and are shaped similar to what the participants usually eat.
The emphasis on metabolism is one of the few powerful tools that the brain uses to maintain the body in a certain weight range. It's a set point. The range is the result of genes and life experiences. When dieters try to lose weight by using a hard diet and aggressive intense exercise, stress them. Stress makes them eat more and get more.
A drop of blood can reveal what type of dietary food should be consumed to stimulate the metabolism, so the brain set point will change and you can lose weight without stress and without fear of gaining weight in a short time. Vinnd is developing an express blood test device and smart database for home testing and evaluation in web / mobile applications.

Asian semiconductor-related stocks fell this week on concern earnings growth will slow after Intel Corp said profit margins would fall and Merrill Lynch & Co cut its rating on the industry. Tokyo Electron Ltd paced declines.
The Morgan Stanley Capital International Asia-Pacific Index, which tracks more than 900 stocks in the region, shed 0.3 percent to 90.14 this week, its third decline. The MSCI Asia-Pacific Information Technology Index slid 3.1 percent.
"Going into the second half of this year, earnings of technology companies are likely to lose momentum," said Naohiko Sasaki, who oversees US$31 billion as co-head of investments at Kokusai Asset Management Co in Tokyo. Demand "is disappointing and making us stay away from technology stocks." South Korea's Kospi index shed 1.1 percent for the week, its sixth weekly drop in seven. The TAIEX slid 4.8 percent, the biggest weekly decline since the week ended June 4.
All benchmarks in the region fell for the week except for Japan, Singapore, India, mainland China and New Zealand.
Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average gained 0.1 percent and the broader Topix climbed 0.4 percent, buoyed by banking stocks after Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group Inc, the nation's largest bank by market value, and UFJ Holdings Inc, the fourth biggest by assets, agreed to start merger talks. Mitsubishi Tokyo surged 11 percent for the week. UFJ gained 2.8 percent.
Intel, the world's largest chipmaker, said Wednesday gross margin, or the percentage of revenue left after subtracting the cost of goods sold, will be about 60 percent this year, compared with a previous forecast of about 62 percent because it's cutting prices to reduce inventories.
Merrill Lynch earlier in the week recommended investors sell chip shares on concern earnings growth is slowing. Novellus Systems Inc, whose equipment builds circuits in computer chips, said orders missed its own forecast.
"Earnings momentum for technology companies seems to be peaking," said Nobuki Goto, who helps manage US$14 billion at Tokio Marine Asset Management Co in Tokyo.
"Demand isn't keeping pace with production," Goto said.
Tokyo Electron, the world's second-largest maker of semiconductor production equipment, fell 4.6 percent, its biggest weekly loss in a month.
Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd, the world's fourth-largest supplier of made-to-order chips, plunged 9.5 percent, its largest weekly drop since the week ended April 30.
Andrew Lu, an analyst at Citigroup Inc's Smith Barney unit, and Merrill Lynch's Daniel Heyler cut the stock to "sell" from "buy." Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (
Citigroup's Smith Barney unit recommended investors to sell shares of both.
Samsung Electronics Co, the world's No. 2 semiconductor maker, fell 0.2 percent, narrowing a loss of as much as 5.8 percent. The company said Friday second-quarter earnings more than tripled and that it would pay an interim dividend that's 10 times more than a year ago.
UFJ, the only lender among Japan's four largest banks to post a loss last fiscal year, said Wednesday it would seek a merger with Mitsubishi Tokyo. Mitsubishi Tokyo has the lowest bad-debt ratio of the four banks.

Feast of the Glorious Prophet Elijah
Sanctifying the Mind: The Augustinian Life and Mind of Christopher Dawson by Bradley Birzer
THIS SCHOLAR of culture and history was one of the most counter-cultural of all intellectuals," writes Bradley Birzer in his sympathetic biography of Christopher Dawson. "As the world rejected God, Dawson embraced God. As the world rejected myth, Dawson embraced myth. As the world rejected . . . prophets, Dawson attempted to speak as one." Dawson, a twentieth-century misfit who remained in academic obscurity until the end of his career, stood at the center of the Catholic literary revival in England and America that preceded Vatican II. A "Christian humanist," he shared his contemporary Tolkien's love of dreams and the imagination, and his hatred of fascism, communism, and ideology. He took an Augustinian view of western civilization that found God's purpose visible in history, and pursued with indefatigable energy the mission of restoring Christendom amidst the failures of modernity. Birzer draws on Dawson's books and letters, news stories, and interviews with Dawson and those who knew him to create this "intellectual and spiritual" biography. His engaging prose takes us inside Dawson's mind and thought, serving with equal facility to introduce new readers to Dawson's legacy and to offer fresh insight and inspiration to the writers' many devoted readers.

The ORIGINAL PRAGUE SYNCOPATED ORCHESTRA first came to be in the mind of Pavel Klikar - trumpet player, band leader, pianist, arranger and musicologist, in the autumn of 1974. As a quintet, with three wind instruments and a two-piece rhythm section - piano and banjo - it had an incredibly authentic sound right from the start and quickly stirred the interest of both listeners and music critics. The ensemble focused on detailed analysis of the recordings from the period and patient effort in recreating its musical thinking and aesthetics, as well as reviving long-forgotten playing and improvisation techniques. OPSO carried this study through with great commitment, even down to use of the original historical instruments.
In 1976, the ensemble added to its personnel a second saxophone and a violin. Another addition was the singer - Ondřej Havelka, who stayed with OPSO for nineteen years. The era of this eight-member personnel culminated with a triumphant performance at the Festival of Old Jazz in Breda, Holland, in May, 1978. In the autumn of the same year, the Orchestra's personnel was expanded to twelve instruments - the standard for American dance orchestras of the 1920's - and the ensemble went professional.
The OPSO has given over three thousand concerts in the Czech Republic and in most European countries. It has also participated in a variety of important festivals and in a number of shows for German, French, Swiss and British TV stations. Thanks to many TV and radio broadcasts and gramophone editions, the Orchestra has become one of the most popular ensembles in its homeland.•
The ensemble's heart and soul is its leader Pavel KLIKAR. His authentic and intricate arrangements together with an uncompromising attitude toward stylistic interpretation are the building blocks of OPSO's success. As a trumpet player he leaves his audiences bewildered by his, even by international standards, unique ability to improvise in several forgotten styles. Thus his music is not a copy, but an entirely inventive act of recreating artistic concepts and procedures which have disappeared from our world with the decease of their performers.
In 1996, Mr. Klikar received the Czech Grammy Prize for his artistic activities. He was granted the Award of the Czech Musical Council for his lifetime achievement in 2006.

Winter running kit
Add the following key pieces to your winter running wardrobe to ensure you stay cosy and comfortable when the mercury plummets.
Go long
Long-sleeved tops and tights are a must in winter as your extremities tend to be the first place you feel the cold. "Long leggings will keep your muscles warm and ensure you don't tighten up or become stiff in the cold," explains New Balance Tech rep Heather Sellars.
Layer up
Several thin layers perform more efficiently than one thick one in winter so layer several T-shirts or invest in a windproof outer layer. A gilet or lightweight jacket will protect you from the wind. "They're so light that you can take them off and carry them with you easily," says Sellars. "Versions like the New Balance windcheater jacket are breathable too so you won't get sweaty in them."
Don't overdress though: you should feel cold when you step outside and warm up as you start to run. A thermal base layer, long leggings and a windproof jacket are adequate for most people.
Get technical
Make the most of high-tech running kit by getting your hands on apparel that features clever fabrics like New Balance's NB Heat.
"The NB Heat range does a great job of keeping you warm compared to regular kit when it's cold outside," says Sellars. "It also features reflective details, which is great for darker evenings, when lots of people tend to train as they're working during the day."
Hand in glove
Once you've sorted out warm tops and bottoms, gloves should be next on your list. With your circulating blood working hard to keep your core warm, your extremities can suffer so always remember to pull on a pair of gloves if it looks cold outside. "You'll want to keep your hands warm when you run so you can use them to open the front door when you get home," says Sellars.
Hat trick
If you do feel the cold, or get the dreaded 'ice-cream headache' when you run, a hat or headband can make a real difference to your comfort. Choose a hat made from a technical fabric that has wicking properties to maximise the heat you retain.
Trail mix
Trail shoes are useful in winter if you're planning to run on muddy paths or off-road terrain as they feature extra tread to help you to grip the ground better. Some trail shoes also feature a waterproof layer such as Gore-Tex, which acts as a barrier if you're splashing through muddy puddles or crossing streams.

Moisture in your Attic? Call Hawaiian Built Roofing!
When I found moisture in my attic this winter, I called Hawaiian Built Roofing because they did such a great job on a roof leak I had a couple of years ago. Kenny and Sandra came out right away and inspected the attic and roof. Our attic had such poor ventilation that moisture was collecting on the roof sheathing from below! Kenny and Sandra brought in a ventilation expert and they quoted a solution using "edge vent" products and as well as power fans that are triggered by both heat and humidity. The solution was reasonably priced and the installation was very professional, and now I have a perfect roof and a dry attic that will be cooler in summer. I will use Hawaiian Built Roofing every time – great personalized and professional quality service.
–Ed Mahoney
The guys were very professional and worked constantly…
Hawaiian just finished installing a new roof for us and they did a fantastic job. We especially like the fact that they painted everything black to match the roof. The guys were very professional and worked constantly which resulted in the job being done on-time and budget.Great job guys!!!
Oh, and Sandra did a wonderful job of coordinating everything.
–Marc Mcrobert
Thank you for all that you did…
Sandra & Kenny,
Thank you sooooo much for a fantastic job! It exceeded my expectations. Thank you for all that you did for the claim, always being in touch when ever I had any questions, & attention to detail. It was a pleasure doing business with you & I will definitely recommend you to others in need roofing.
Thank you again!
Kenny and Sandra took extra effort and care to resolve these problems resulting in an attractive, usable and affordable solution.
My wife and I puzzled over the selection of a roofing company to repair our patio and garage roofs – both of which presented unique problems including: a low slope and a flat roof with railing intended for use as a roof-top patio area. The transitions between roof surfaces and the age of the existing roof made it obvious that the entire house roof should be replaced. On a personal recommendation, we contacted Hawaiian Built Roofing and selected them after discussing our roofing problems and reviewing their proposed solutions. Kenny and Sandra took extra effort and care to resolve these problems resulting in an attractive, usable and affordable solution. As a result, we now have a beautiful new roof with a roof-top patio that will, for the first time, be usable as it was intended. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Hawaiian Built Roofing and specifically to Kenny and Sandra!
–Ron & Patty

This summer England's under 21 side were knocked out of the European Championships by Germany on penalties. A familiar feeling. There were positives to take from the competition however. One of which was a young striker who scored early in the second half of the Germany game to give England a 2-1 lead. Tammy Abraham may not be proven in Premier League football but his style of play and raw ability could spark a change in fortunes at the Liberty Stadium.
Swansea City manager Paul Clement has used his Chelsea contacts to bring the young English striker to the Welsh club on a season long loan. Abraham was always going to be in demand this season and with Chelsea, his parent club, not interested in selling a player with such huge talent a loan move would always be preferred. After a good competition with the 'Young Lions' Premiership football was always going to be on the agenda this season. He played in all games in the under 21 European Championships and proved a constant threat all through the competiton.
Last season Abraham helped Championship side Bristol City to a decent season which saw them stay in the Championship. He was a vital part to the club staying on the outskirts of a relegation fight. He scored 26 times for City last season.
Questions have been asked about the youngster making the step up and whoever Swansea can rely on him to deliver regularly. If he is given a chance he will surely triumph. He has come through the ranks at Chelsea and has a good pedigree. The is simply his time. He needs this chance to progress to the next level. It is vital for young players to move up the ranks by playing regularly. This move signals both a step up in standard and a greater platform for him to showcase his talents. It is extremely likely he will at some point grab the headlines with some fine form.
For a player of such a young age he has a good understanding of his strengths and how to use them on the pitch. He is a big striker measuring in at 6'4. However, he is also very mobile and moves into the channels when playing up front on his own. He has everything a striker needs to succeed in English football so seeing his in the Premier League will give everybody a chance to asses his potential more accurately. He has an eye for goal mixed with physical strength and speed.
For England fans and even more so for Chelsea fans will be interest in the success of Swansea this season. Abraham gaining top class experience is exciting for both. A successful season could see him fighting for a place in the Chelsea starting line up. It could lead to a move away from Stamford Bridge to bring his career regular football and stability. He has the potential to be a England regular and the move to Swansea is a good one for all parties involved. If Swansea are to have a good season they will be hoping Abraham fires them there and gets a buzz around the Welsh club once again.

Putala Shan (5,428m), north face, solo. The north face of Putala Shan is an impressive big wall, which I have tried twice. I have not attempted the same mountain twice since 1990, when I made my last winter solo attempt on Fitz Roy in Patagonia. My first attempt on Putala did not go well. I hoped success would be the sign of my comeback, and I wanted to prove to myself that I was not finished as a climber.
I first saw Putala Shan in the autumn of 2003. I was trekking as part of my rehabilitation a year after my accident in Gyachung Kang. [In 2002 Yamanoi lost a total of five fingers on both hands and all of the toes on his right foot as a result of bad weather during an alpine-style ascent and descent of the north face of Gyachung Kang—Ed.]. Even compared to the big walls of places like Yosemite, the face on Putala seemed most attractive. In fact, I noticed many beautiful crack lines extending up to the crest. Although I made my final attempt after carefully evaluating my physical condition and cold weather equipment, the climb was as difficult as expected.
On June 25 we established base camp in a beautiful meadow at an altitude of 3,700m. My wife Taeko Yamanoi supported me as base camp manager, with a cook and an interpreter. On the 27th I carried equipment and provisions to the bottom of the wall, at approximately 4,500m, then spent a week fixing rope on the first 300m, in weather as bad as on my last attempt. Progress was difficult due to continuous rain and snow. As I chose a route following a large corner, ice fell on me frequently.
On July 13 I began in earnest my capsule-style attempt with a portaledge. The rock, especially on the lower part of the route, is solid granite, but as I climbed higher expanding flakes slowed my progress to about one pitch a day. Ice coating the rock prevented free climbing, so I was forced to use aid. Shortly after beginning, I got slight frostbite on my hands and feet, which are now my Achilles heel after my accident in 2002. Both my down jacket and sleeping bag were soaked, so my extremities were unable to recover, and as I was unable to sleep, I also began to suffer from exhaustion. To make matters worse, the sun never reached the face, and the snow and ice sticking to the upper part of the wall made the climb very stressful. However, on the 19th, the seventh day of my climb, I topped out on the crest at an altitude of 5,350m. I needed two more days to rappel the route and return to base camp.
Summary: first ascent of Putala Shan north face (not to summit) via Jiayou (Chinese for "come on" or "do your best"); 850m, 18 pitches, 5.8 A3+.

Following its superb $161 million domestic (and far less impressive $39 million overseas) haul from a $28 million budget, Universal's gangster rap drama "Straight Outta Compton" is coming to DVD, Blu-ray and VOD in a super-sized edition on January 5th.
Already a behemoth that clocks in at 147 minutes, the film was famously criticised for its glossing over of various major elements in the history of N.W.A. to fit the runtime.
Universal Home Video has now announced that the home video release will include a Director's Cut along with the theatrical. There's no word yet on said cut's running time or what scenes it might include though.
The discs will include plenty of deleted scenes, featurettes about both the film's making and the group's influence on a whole genre of music, and a commentary by director/producer F. Gary Gray.

Sizzling local line-up on M-Net
Thu 12 Oct 2017, 14:52
Watch My Kitchen Rules and The Wedding Bashers this Sunday on M-Net.
This Sunday night, 15 October, M-Net's "lekker" local line-up will melt your hearts with some unique, contrasting nuptials in The Wedding Bashers, while the knives come out in My Kitchen Rules next elimination episode in which one pair of home cooks will bid the competition farewell.
Kicking off the world-class entertainment at 17:00 and streaming live on DStv Now are celebrity wedding guests Siba Mtongana, Zavion Kotze, Cindy Nell and Denise Zimba as they head to their next set of distinctive South African weddings. What will go down when one couple's colour scheme is purple and lime green – including the wedding party's wardrobe – and the theme of the special day is comic book heroes? Will the bashers embrace the alternative, or will this zany approach fall short of their standards? "I'm a little bit worried, I won't lie," confessed a dubious Cindy Nell. Then, the intrepid experts – who rate each wedding according to décor, fashion, food and entertainment – take a sharp turn as they embark on a safari wedding in Welkom, where flash mob dancing is the order of the day.
The WEDDING BASHERS coming at you THIS SUNDAY at 17:00 on @mnettv #mnet101 - SUPERHERO WEDDING 😱😱😱 Don't miss it !!! #weddingbashers pic.twitter.com/lhbc0N0nLM— Zavion Kotze (@ZavionK) October 11, 2017
Remember, viewers can also rate their favourite weddings throughout the season and stand the chance to win awesome prizes by visiting www.mnet.tv/weddingbashers
Then at 18:00 and streaming live on DStv Now, the final Instant Restaurant of Season 1 of My Kitchen Rules SA will play out in Durban, as foodie friends Nicole and Zamatonga host their fellow contestants and guest judges David Higgs and J'Something.
Last week, the "meat guys" OG and G received the lowest score on the leader board so far with a combined total of 59 out of 100. This means that Nicole and Zamatonga – who have both been outspoken about their competitors' dishes in the past – will have to pull out all of the stops to prove their mettle and earn a score of at least 60 points at the end of the night.
"Tonight I'm expecting perfection," Bloemfontein's Jamandi said ahead of arriving in Durban. Johannesburg's Charnell agreed: "I'm expecting something fancy from these girls tonight," she revealed. Will the passionate Durbanites walk the walk after talking a big talk over the past four weeks, or will they crumble under the pressure of being the last to cook in the Instant Restaurant phase?
Viewers can also visit www.mnet.tv/mkr to watch exclusive interviews with the judges and contestants, and follow all the breaking news and conversations around the show on Twitter @MNet / #MKRSA or on the official M-Net Facebook page.

Reuters reports on the effects of U.S. and EU sanctions against Russia for its actions in Ukraine. The economic sanctions have achieved their intended purpose of cutting off vital financing options for Russian banks in Western markets. Moreover, the sanctions have impeded Russian banks from accessing alternative sources of funding in the Asian markets. It is said that this difficulty is due in large part to a lack of lawyers and underwriters who are legally permitted, or generally willing, to work with the Russian banks as a result of the sanctions.

Being president has its perks, according to Barack Obama, who stopped by "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on Sunday night to congratulate the Denver Broncos on their Super Bowl win over the Carolina Panthers.
The thing is, Obama taped the message last week.
In the clip, Colbert tossed a football around the planet to soldiers in Afghanistan, astronaut Scott Kelly, Chewbacca and finally, the president. Obama then claimed his favorite moment of the big game happened when the "winning team sealed the deal with a touchdown thanks to the guy that was really good" before he was called out for not actually watching the event.
Obama went on to congratulate the Broncos after admitting the message was pre-taped, explaining that the whole ordeal was the plot to "National Treasure 3," referencing the Nicholas Cage historical film franchise.
"It turns out, all of the Super Bowl winners for the next 50 years are written on the back of the Constitution," Obama joked.
Take a look at the goofy clip above, including a reprimand from the first lady for throwing a football in the White House.

Menno Ruh is a LYNX encountered in Armored Core 4. She is the 10th ranking Original.
In-Game BiographyEdit
GA's strongest Original and ace in the hole. The heavyweight bipedal juggernaut she pilots mirrors her unwavering will and fundamentalist fervor.
GA's strongest and highest ranking pilot, she is encountered as an enemy during the mission Internal Purge. She chooses to attack Anatolia's Mercenary after he has been ordered by GA to eliminate GA Europe's weapon fortresses. Her reasons for attacking remain unclear. What most likely occurred was that she had been manipulated by GA into viewing the Mercenary as an enemy pilot. Killing two birds with one stone, GA could both eliminate the threat posed by GA Europe and still appear in a very positive light. Menno Ruh is defeated by the Mercenary within Hejde Arsenal. Her final words, "It's a lie..." may serve as an indication that she had discovered the truth to GA's ruse in her final moments.
NEXT Primitive LightEdit
Primitive Light is a heavyweight SUNSHINE model that utilizes a chain gun and powerful bazooka. However, the most dangerous aspect of this NEXT is its two large missile launchers, which, while slow, boast impressive power, range, and blast radius.
Primitive Light has both the firepower and the armor to carry her through to the end. However, energy weapons wreak havoc on her NEXT. Despite so, open areas are very conducive to her to launch missiles at you. In order to counter this, machine guns can be used so that her missiles blow up on her.
After destroying the third weapon, Primitive Light will come charging at you. If at all possible, use the tunnels to your advantage, so she will be limited to her arm weapons (which are still deadly). If equipped with a blade, one can abuse the SUNSHINE's sluggish turn rate to blade her to death, constantly boosting past her and quickturning inside the narrow hallways.

- Menno Ruh is seen in the mission Internal Purge on hard mode. This is extremely odd, given Anatolia's Mercenary was hired by GA to destroy GAE, yet was attacked by a GA pilot after doing so. This gives rise to several theories:
- While she is employed by GA, she may have originated from GAE and is then compelled to save her home from Anatolia's Mercenary, acting independently from GA.
- GA ordered Menno Ruh to kill Anatolia's Mercenary as part of a black op so that GA can "kill two birds with one stone", as GA might have feared his tremendous power and skill. Fortunately, not only Anatolia's Mercenary comes out on top, GA benefits from his survival to carry them to victory in the ensuing Lynx War.
- Yet another theory is that somehow, Akvavit had persuaded Menno Ruh that Anatolia's Raven is destroying GAE at the behest of another company, casting her in an aggressor role.
- Menno Ruh's emblem radically differs from the original Japanese version. In the Japanese version, her emblem depicts what seems to be a nun cradling a baby, presumably an allusion to Virgin Mary and Jesus. This was replaced by a picture of a winged lion reminiscent of a Lion Rampant. Nevertheless, her choice of emblem reflects her so-described "fundamentalist fervor": a religious one.

About This Class
Welcome to the second of my German cases classes!
In this class we will learn what prepositions are and how they decide which case you need
This class requires a some knowledge of German, especially about the 4 cases. If you're not familiar with them, please check my class about the four cases #1 back to basics
If you have only just started to learn German, then this course may not be for you, but save it for later. Then, as soon as you are ready to learn about the prepositions in German, you can watch the videos to help you along.
If you are an intermediate student, then this class is for you.
Advanced German learners but also find it useful just to go back to the basics of the prepositions, as in textbooks they are often explained in bits and pieces, rather than all together.
In this class you will learn which prepositions are followed by the accusative case, which by the dative and which by both. You will also learn about the genitive prepositions and you will get a worksheet for you to practise on your own.
At the end of the class you will have a better understanding of the German prepositions, which will help you when writing your own German text or when reading German articles.
A few free coupons are available here: http://skl.sh/2zmJHnL
If you liked this course, could you please give it the 'thumbs up'?
Leaving a comment or even just the thumbs up will help other students decide whether this course is good for them.
