100 Things to Know About Book Review
Finding suitable books for morning time can be a little tricky, as you want to choose books that your child will find interesting and enjoyable, but that are also easy to dip in and out of. There are so many wonderful books out there. Way too many for me to list here. For morning time, we are HUGE fans of the Usborne 100 Things to Know About series. Let me tell you a bit about these books, and why we love them so much.
The Usborne 100 Things to Know About series is a collection of ten books (there were ten at the time of writing, anyway) which include... Food, History, the Human Body, Music, Numbers, Computers and Coding, Oceans, Planet Earth, Saving the Planet, Science and Space. We have read and would recommend those photographed above, but I feel confident that the format and quality is consistent with the entire series, and am sure that we will read others that interest us over the coming years.
From 100 Things to Know About Food (above).
The 100 Things to Know About Series are non-fiction, with the content presented in an info-graphic style. Each page (or double page spread) features one fact, presented with a vibrant illustration, and with simple, clear, easy to follow and read aloud text and labelling. One of my biggest gripes with many non-fiction texts are unnecessary additional headings and labels, which do not add value to the reading experience. I like these books because I feel like the wording has been carefully considered. Every sentence and text box included is worth the effort of reading.
We love these books for the sheer 'mind-bogglingly' interesting and thought provoking facts included. These books are not dry, boring or dull. Each of these books has been curated by a team, including specialists in the field of each topic, who have researched widely to find facts that will be of interest to children. There is a huge variety of facts included, many of which have you entering into a vibrant discussion or further research. Our morning time is interrupted by gasps of 'wow! really?! but how?!'
For example, did you know that you can live on just one food?! (Only when you are a baby... this double page spread breaks down the miracle of breast/formula milk). Did you know that handkerchiefs and radiators are both names of types of pasta?! (This double page spread on pasta shapes was fascinating). Did you know that honey lasts forever, because it's a natural bacteria killer, or that you can't make jelly with kiwi fruit?! Did you know that eating too many carrots will make your skin orange, or that milk from sleepy cows actually makes you sleepy?! You get the gist.
From 100 Things to Know About the Human Body (above).
Each fact is accompanied by a clear explanation, with a breakdown of steps (if needed), in child friendly language. Examples are often provided too.
The recommended age for these books is 8-12 years, which I expect is the recommendation for independent reading. I'd have thought that they would be suitable for reading aloud to a slightly younger audience, say from 5 or 6 years. They're similar in style and content to the Usborne Beginners series, which Bean enjoyed at age 3-7 years, although are obviously much longer. One of the reasons that we like these books for morning time is because we can dip in and out of them.
From 100 Things to Know About Science (above).
From 100 Things to Know About History (above).
From 100 Things to Know About Numbers, Computers and Coding (above).
Have you read any from the 100 Things to Know About series? Did you like them? What did your children think? You'll find all these books, and more, listed in the Morning Time section of my Bookshop here.

A few things come to mind. If there was no earth to the spur the Europa would show a warning message on power up as it would detect the missing earth. The fact that the first part of the in-situ test did not flag up a warning also makes me think that there is an earth to the spur. If the oven passed an in-situ eath test on your Europa, this tends to suggest the Europa is functioning correctly.
I'm can't think of any reasons why the metal parts of a fridge would not be earthed - this would only allowable if the exposed metal parts of the fridge were double insulated from mains.
The sensible approach would be as you suggest - to have the fixed wiring checked out in case there is a wiring fault. | {

POLITICO Pro's Morning Energy, presented by FuelsEurope: Coal levy D.O.A. — Time to adapt to new energy
By Sara Stefanini and Kalina Oroschakoff
July 3, 2015 7:15 am
By Sara Stefanini and Kalina Oroschakoff | @SaraStefaninii and @MaKaOro | send tips to [email protected] and [email protected] | subscribe for this daily column: http://politi.co/1OEsR3n
Good morning and welcome to POLITICO Pro's Morning Energy. We spent much of yesterday traipsing around Brussels at conferences, where the talk was all about how companies and governments need to adapt to new energy realities (climate policies, renewable technologies, etc.), and whether we're energy-secure or not. But we start with a new holiday (in the U.K.), and how mass fear of job losses killed Germany's planned coal levy.
— WHAT'S HAPPENING
HAPPY (SOLAR) INDEPENDENCE DAY: The U.K. couldn't have timed this new holiday any better. With temperatures in parts of the country forecast to be in the high 20- and low 30- degrees Celsius today and tomorrow (refreshing compared to our 33 degrees-plus!), solar homes and farms are opening their doors to raise awareness of how you could also generate your power with the sun. And it comes just as solar energy is expected to supply 15 percent of the U.K.'s power demand at 2 p.m. (local time) today, according to the Solar Trade Association.
DEATH BY POLITICS (GERMANY'S COAL LEVY): It was a prospect that drew widespread opposition from all sides — political parties, companies, trade unions and others — and it succeeded in blocking a controversial coal levy that would have forced Germany's dirtiest coal-fired power plants to pay a penalty for exceeding a certain level of CO2 emissions. Instead, Berlin decided late Wednesday night to approve an alternative that phases lignite (brown coal) power plants out gradually by 2020, paying them to go into a capacity reserve that keeps them on standby for when demand peaks.
— BACKSTABBER: That's what some are calling Chancellor Angela Merkel, blaming her for backing away from her support of Economic Affairs and Energy Minister Sigmar Gabriel, who proposed the levy. "The chancellor played both sides of the fence, in the beginning she let Gabriel believe that he's got her backing, then she left him standing in the rain and so signaled that she didn't have anything against going back on the proposals," MEP Reinhard Bütikofer, a German Greens member, told us. Here's a lot more on how politics drove the change, and the silver lining in the outcome: http://politi.co/1ISfLMN.
ADAPT OR DIE: That's the message Denis Simonneau, a member of French energy group ENGIE's executive committee, was keen to get across at a Friends of Europe event in Brussels yesterday. "There are so many changes in the business of energy that companies need to change as well," including how they are organized internally. According to Simonneau, the system is becoming less capital-intensive as technology and smart grids are becoming ever more important and less centralized. Companies in Europe would also have to deal with falling demand. "In terms of power generation, the peak was in 2008," he said.
— NEW BUSINESS MODEL: The move away from a traditional and centralized energy model also means that renewables and energy efficiency will play an ever bigger role for the company, Simonneau told POLITICO. Solar, in particular, has great potential."We definitely believe that renewables, especially solar, will be more and more important in the energy mix." But while the company is moving "progressively to renewables and energy efficiency" as well as energy services, it will continue to invest in big power plants, especially in emerging countries like Brazil, Indonesia and China. For him, a company cannot evolve into a new business without staying connected with the old one. Contrary to what E.On has done, the company hasn't spun off its traditional fossil fuel arms. But still, it supports the G7's "move to decarbonization."
—RENEWABLES, A BUSINESS CASE: Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are also increasingly banking on renewables and energy efficiency, investing ever more money. This, Joan MacNaughton, executive chair of the World Energy Trilemma, said at the same event, wasn't only driven by the ambition to keep oil for exports but partly also because it's become more economical.
—IRAN TO EUROPE — WE CAN HELP: With diversifying away from Russia, Ali Majedi, Iran's ambassador to Germany, said yesterday at the Friends of Europe conference, on the new geopolitics of energy. "Russia is trying to keep the European gas market," he said, adding that he hopes Iran and the E3+3 countries can reach an agreement soon that puts an end to the sanctions.
— DON'T WORRY, WE'RE SAFE: Europe's energy security has never been better, Friedberg Pflüger, the director of the European Centre for Energy and Resource Security at King's College, said at the same event. Norway guarantees nearly a third of European gas, and there will soon be new supplies from the Mediterranean region and by ship as liquefied natural gas (LNG), he said. "Lithuania's LNG terminal will be a huge challenge to Russian gas," and "we will get gas from Australia in the near future." However, Pflüger cautioned, "we need the Russians as energy partners in the long-term."
— WE NEED REASSURANCE: So said John Knight, executive vice president of strategy for Norway's Statoil. "There is something more important about our company than being a producer and supplier, and that's being an investor," he said at the same conference. Declining oil demand could "scare off upstream investors like us."
CEE'S LAST-MOVER ADVANTAGE: Central and Eastern Europe has the opportunity to implement the newest technologies available to reawaken an aging energy sector and apply lessons learned from first-movers in Europe, according to speakers at a breakfast debate on the role of innovation in driving the region's energy transition (sponsored by the European People's Party and General Electric). The Commission estimates that the CEE needs €200 billion a year to "master the energy transition" after 2020, said Dagmara Maria Koska, a member of energy union vice president Maroš Šefčovič's cabinet. The modernization fund, which will be part of the forthcoming emissions trading scheme (ETS) reform, can help with this, but the Commission is still fine-tuning the checks and balances needed to ensure it is applied in the best possible way, she added.
— FREEDOM AND HARMONY FOR ALL: Sure, the sector needs regulation. But Europe has a tendency to go overboard on rules, which only adds to the problem of differing policies around the region, said speakers at the same event. "Europe is over-regulated," said Michał Boni, a European People's Party member from Poland, adding that Europe can lay frameworks and set standards, rather than rules. "We should understand that in the competition between technology and regulation, technology will win because technology is faster," Boni said. Stability is also key for any investor thinking putting money into, say, a power plant that will last 20 years, said Peter Stracar, GE's CEO for CEE. Quick political and retroactive changes, for instance, will "shatter the confidence of investors," he said.
ENTSO-E'S CRYSTAL BALL: Demand for electricity in Europe will inch up 0.8 percent per year between 2016 and 2025, but the generation mix that will supply that demand will undergo much bigger changes, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity said in a new report yesterday. The losers: Nuclear generation, which under the best estimate scenario is expected to fall by 12 percent between 2020 and 2025 to 106 GW, and coal, lignite and oil-fired power, which is likely to be replaced by gas. The winners: renewables, of course. Wind could surge by 80 percent, solar by 60 percent. But possibly also gas-fired capacity which, (best estimate) will go up from 207 GW in 2016 to 229 GW in 2025. Here's a synopsis: http://bit.ly/1HzihwG, and full report: http://bit.ly/1FUyLrI.
POWER'S EUROSTAR: "Work has now begun to build the first ever UK-Belgium electricity link: EU-funded project that will power 500k homes," so declared climate and energy commissioner Miguel Arias Cañete on twitter yesterday. He was referring to the first power interconnector between Britain and Belgium. It's a 140 km subsea cable, expected to cost €500 million and supply 1,000 MW. Britain's National Grid and Belgium's Elia awarded contracts last month. Construction should start later this year, and it is expected to come online in 2019. Here's some background from Reuters: http://reut.rs/1dA6lN8.
LET THE (ETS) STAR SHINE BRIGHTER: The ETS is the star of the EU's climate action policy, but it needs some polishing, the European Court of Auditors said yesterday. Specifically, the Commission needs to improve its regulation and oversight of the carbon market to avoid theft or fraud, clarify the legal status of allowances, and fix up the system for processing accounts and registrations in the market, among other things. This is important, because there are "considerable" financial stakes involved in the multi-billion euro market, said Kevin Cardiff, who wrote the report. Here it is: http://bit.ly/1KwhGuI, and more from Carbon Pulse: http://bit.ly/1H3EzTT.
INDIA TO THE WORLD — DON'T WAIT FOR US: To follow China's lead on emissions targets, that is. India does not want to tie itself to any timeline for peaking its greenhouse gas emissions, Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar has told the BBC. "Some people are trying to put pressure on us, saying that India too needs to declare its emissions peaking year," he said. "China's per capita annual emission is nearly 20 tons, whereas ours is on 2 tons." Still, India is preparing to submit its own pledge to the United Nations, ahead of the COP21 summit in December, and it will be more ambitious that people expect, he added. Here's more: http://bbc.in/1HzjfsH.
TALK TO TURKEY: The EU needs put energy diplomacy task forces to work with Turkey, as well as other potential new gas suppliers (Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Iraqi Kurdistan…), the Brussels-based think tank Bruegel said in a report published yesterday. "Building on this could unlock the region's gas export potential and make gas supplies to the EU and Turkey more secure." Europe needs to make itself more visible in Turkey in particular, as the energy union calls for work to get going on the Southern Gas Corridor plan to build new gas supply routes. Here's the report: http://bit.ly/1NzsEzv.
AIR EMISSIONS STARTING THEIR DESCENT: Emissions of most air pollutants decreased in 2013, confirming the long-term downward trend in Europe since 1990. But many countries are still exceeding internationally agreed pollutant limits set to protect human health and the environment, according to a new report from the European Environment Agency. Across the EU-28, sulphur oxide emissions have fallen the most since 1990 (by 87 percent), followed by carbon monoxide (66 percent), non-methane volatile organic compounds (59 percent) and nitrogen oxides (54 percent). NH3 emissions have declined less since 1990 than emissions of the other main pollutants (27 percent). The rate at which emissions are decreasing for these pollutants has, however, slowed over the last decade. The report: http://bit.ly/1H3w776.
DO THE MATHS (ON ELECTRIC CARS): Because they're not necessarily as clean and cheap as you think, at least according to researchers in the U.S. They found that the Ford Focus was dirtier and more expensive in the midwest and northeast, where much of the electricity still comes from coal. More from Autoblog: http://aol.it/1en5CQa.
BALANCING RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA: China is wary of expanding energy investments in Russia because closer ties with the Kremlin could harm its relations with the U.S., said Chen Wei Dong, who resigned as chief researcher for China National Offshore Oil Corp.'s Energy Economics Institute in May. Beijing sees the U.S. as a "global" partner, while Russian ties are regional, he said. Russia has increasingly turned to Asian markets after its annexation of Crimea led the U.S. and Europe to impose sanctions, including oil and banking restrictions. While Russian exporters are now targeting China, the world's largest consumer, progress on a second supply deal has stalled after crude and gas prices declined. Gazprom signed the first landmark pipeline deal last year. "If Russia has bad relations with the U.S., this may make it more difficult for China to build better relationships with Russia," Chen told Bloomberg in Moscow last week. "China is looking for a balance." Here's more: http://bloom.bg/1GR0s5y.

Spriggan (manga)
Stanley (1984 film)
Stanley (constituency)
Stanley (boat)
Spriggan (Japanese: スプリガン, Hepburn: Supurigan) is a manga series written by Hiroshi Takashige and illustrated by Ryōji Minagawa. It was initially released as Striker in the North American English translation, as it is the English translation of the word "Spriggan" from Cornish.
Spriggan takes places in the last years of the Cold War where mysterious and unknown artifacts called out-of-place artifacts (OOPArt) are discovered in various parts of the world, leading to a secret war between various forces against the ARCAM Corporation, an organization that placed itself the guardians of the OOPArts in order to prevent them from being used as weapons.
Spriggan was serialized in Shogakukan's manga magazines Weekly Shōnen Sunday and Shōnen Sunday Super from 1988-1996. The manga was adapted into an anime film by Studio 4°C in 1998. A PlayStation game called Spriggan: Lunar Verse was also based on the manga with some material created for the game.
Many years ago, an ancient civilization known for their advanced technology once ruled Earth, but were destroyed in the end by their misuse. So, they left messages for later generations in the form of indestructible message plates written in ancient Hebrew, informing them that if they could not find a good use for their creations, they should be destroyed.

Stanley is a 1984 Australian comedy film.
Andrew Gaty had developed the original script. He had a man working for him called Steve Kibbler, who had worked with Esben Storm. Gaty asked Storm what he thought of the script and Storm did not like it. Gaty then hired him to rewrite and direct the movie, with Stanley Mann acting as script editor. Storm:
The producers originally wanted to import Tom Conti to play the lead but Actors Equity objected. Peter Bensley was cast instead.
The film was not successful at the box office.

Stanley is a constituency of the Legislative Assembly of the Falkland Islands which has been in existence since the first elections in the Falklands in 1949. The constituency of Stanley consists of the city of the same name, which is the largest settlement in the Falklands representing almost 75% of the total population of the islands (excluding military personnel). Stanley is one of two constituencies in the Falklands, the other being Camp.
The first elections to the Legislative Council (the predecessor of the Legislative Assembly) took place in 1949 and elected two members from Stanley. The number of members was reduced to one at the 1977 election with the implementation of the Falkland Islands (Legislative Council) (Amendment) Order 1977. In 1985 the Falkland Islands Constitution came into force which increased the number of members from Stanley to four, elected through block voting. This was increased to five in 1997 following a constitutional amendment, giving the members from Stanley a majority of the elected seats. In 2009 a new constitution came into force which replaced the Legislative Council with the Legislative Assembly, with all members of the Legislative Council becoming members of the new Legislative Assembly.

Stephen Jenkinson and Kimberly Johnson, "Reckoning" (Iron God of Mercy, 2022)
Today I interview Kimberly Johnson and Stephen Jenkinson about their new book, Reckoning (Iron God of Mercy, 2022). Reckoning is an encounter, not only of two people trying to make sense of how to be human—and humane—in what they call our "troubled times," but also of how to live in a world that's larger than us, a world that has its own designs and aims and needs which surpass us and, if we don't attend to them, surprise us. Death comes to us, whether we're ready or not. Gods and ancestors appear, whether we recognize them or not. And, amid it all, sometimes we find ourselves alongside a companion who's willing to reckon with these larger truths, even as we're undone, even as our hearts break. That's the encounter of Reckoning, one Johnson and Jenkinson invite us to join.Stephen Jenkinson the author of six books. He is a worker, author, storyteller, culture activist, and co-founder of the Orphan Wisdom School with his wife Nathalie Roy. He is also the subject of the feature length documentary film Griefwalker, a portrait of his work with dying people, and Lost Nation Road, a shorter documentary on the crafting of the Nights of Grief and Mystery tours, which he undertakes with his band and collaborator Gregory Hoskins.Kimberly Johnson is the author of multiple books, including Call of The Wild: How We Heal Trauma, Awaken Our Own Power, And Use It For Good and the early mothering classic The Fourth Trimester: Healing Your Body, Balancing Your Emotions and Restoring Your Vitality published in seven languages around the world. Her work has been featured on the Goop! podcast, The New York Times, Forbes, Vogue, New York Magazine's The Cut, Harper's Bazaar, Today.com and many more.

MPP93 Longing to Belong: Stephen Jenkinson
Medicine Path with Brian James
Wondering about belonging, mystical experience and religion with writer and activist Stephen Jenkinson.On this episode I welcome back Stephen Jenkinson for the fourth time on the podcast. If you're not already familiar with Stephen's work I recommend checking out episodes 14, 45 and 69.For those of you who are familiar with Stephen's work, you'll know that he is a special kind of teacher. I know he prefers not to think of himself that way, but my interactions with him always stretch my brain in really productive but often challenging ways, and that to me is in essence what it means to be a teacher.This conversation was no different.We got together on the occasion of the release of a new book that he collaborated on with Kimberly Johnson, called Reckoning. We touch on what brought about that work, but the bulk of our conversation centers around Stephen's journey to obtaining a Master's in Theology from Harvard Divinity School and how that lead him to start working as a Social Worker and eventually to the work he's best known for as a Palliative Care counsellor.Along the way we hear about his mysterious encounter with an angel at the Notre Dame Cathedral following a near death experience at sea, and wonder together about what it means to belong to a place, particularly for those of us who are relative newcomers to this land called Turtle Island.As it often happens after speaking with Stephen, I'm left with some questions that continue to haunt me. In particular, what it means to belong, and the question that we end with, does Christianity belong in North America?As usual, it's better not to expect any clear cut answers from Stephen but be open to having some new questions to consider. Personally, I take the advice of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, who suggested the following in his letters to the young poet Franz Kappus back in 1903:Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.Stephen's website: http://orphanwisdom.com Become a member of the Medicine Path Inner Circle and gain early access to new episodes, exclusive bonus episodes and full podcast archives. https://plus.acast.com/s/medicinepath.

How to Hold Gifts of Responsibility & Grief: Stephen Jenkinson, author of 'Die Wise' [reads] 'From the Republic of Conscience'
2 Pages with MBS
=> Recommend this show by sharing the link: pod.link/2Pages'When a man turns 30, he realizes that his life isn't working.' I heard this quote when I was in my thirties, and it spoke loudly to the crossroads that often occur at this moment of mid-life. When you hit your fifties, I think the question reappears - you've climbed your mountain, now who do you choose to be beyond that? As I've pondered this, I've been sitting with the idea of stepping into elderhood; the mentor role. Do you have an elder in your life, or are you perhaps being called, like me, to become one? Stephen Jenkinson is someone I've looked up to as an elder, and he's engaged rudely and briskly, with both life and death, having spent his time counseling dying people and their families. He's a sculptor, a musician, a canoe builder, a sage, and the award-winning author of a favorite book of mine, Die Wise.

Home Your Services Water
From mountain forests to the faucet, Seattle Public Utilities provides safe, great-tasting drinking water for the 1.4 million people of Seattle and nearby communities. Seattle has two large regional watersheds, the Cedar and Tolt, and these watersheds not only supply water but also serve as a home for wildlife and salmon.
Follow the journey of Seattle's water below or jump directly to more details about our infrastructure, dams, reservoirs, seismic planning, and history of stewardship.
The Water's Journey
The Masonry Pool and Masonry Dam at the Cedar River Watershed
Cedar River Supply
The Cedar River Watershed is located 35 miles southeast of Seattle. The 90,638-acre watershed supports a diverse ecosystem and provides about 70% of the drinking water to 1.5 million people in the greater Seattle area. From the Cedar River Watershed, melting snow and rain are gathered and stored in the Chester Morse Lake and the Masonry Pool reservoirs created by the Masonry Dam. The dam diverts the water into two large penstocks which drop water 620 feet to the hydroelectric power plant at Cedar Falls, the birthplace of Seattle City Light.
The water is released back into the river, and continues flowing to the Landsburg diversion dam. At Landsburg, a portion of the water is diverted from the river into two large pipelines which run over seven miles to Lake Youngs Reservoir in Renton. From Lake Youngs, water is pumped a short distance to the Cedar Water Treatment Facility.
The Tolt River Watershed in 2018
Tolt River Supply
The Tolt River Watershed is located in the foothills of the Cascades in east King County. It supplies about 30% of the drinking water for 1.5 million people in the greater Seattle area.
The Tolt Reservoir captures water and snow from the Tolt watershed. Most of this water is released from the Tolt Dam directly to the South Fork Tolt River. A portion of the water is drawn through penstocks to a small hydroelectric facility one thousand feet below. There it enters a small body of water called the regulating basin. The water then continues its journey, all by gravity, to the Tolt Water Treatment Facility.
The interior of the Tolt water treatment facility
While we start with a great source of water, the Tolt and Cedar Water Treatment Facilities improve on that source quality in order to meet health standards and our own taste and odor requirements. View more information about Seattle Public Utilities' water quality labs and procedures that strive to maintain the cleanest and best-tasting drinking water in the nation.
Intake pipes draw water from Lake Youngs
Water to Your Tap
From the treatment facilities, the drinking water enters one of a number of large pipelines known as transmission mains, some as big as 8 feet in diameter. The transmission mains run the 20 miles or more to Seattle and surrounding communities. Transmission mains branch off into smaller pipes, to water storage tanks and reservoirs, sometimes to water pumping stations, and then to you.
Seattle is fortunate to capture its water high in the foothills. Our water flows mostly by gravity all the way to the tap. In some cases, however, pump stations are needed to pump water to hilltops and also to transfer water from one part of the City to another.
Water tanks are located at elevations to supply the right amount of water pressure. The volume of water in the tanks also helps meet the changing needs for water during the day, especially the large amount of water used to fight a fire. At some of our very large in-town reservoirs, we add a bit more chlorine to ensure the safety of the water. From the water tanks and reservoirs, water flows through a grid of water mains, almost 1,700 miles in all, buried below the streets of the City. Smaller water service pipes tap into those mains, bringing the water to you.
The underground Beacon Hill Reservoir during construction
Wells, springs and private water companies provided Seattle's water throughout the 1800's. Rapid population growth in the late 1800's and the "Great Seattle Fire" of June 6, 1889 prompted a vote on establishing a municipal water system, which voters approved by a resounding 1,875 to 51 margin.
Shortly thereafter, Seattle residents approved revenue bonds to construct the Cedar River water system. Water first flowed from the Cedar River into Seattle's system on January 10, 1901. A pipeline channeled water to the Volunteer Park and Lincoln reservoirs on Capitol Hill. To meet the water needs of a rapidly growing Seattle, the water system capacity grew from 23.5 million gallons per day in 1901 to 68.5 million gallons per day in 1909.
In 1964, the next water supply source, the South Fork of the Tolt River, began supplying north Seattle and the Eastside. Today, the Seattle water system supplies about 140 million gallons of water per day to about 1.5 million people in the Seattle area. | {

Whether you are seeking buildable land for a residential or a business structure, Wisconsin can be a terrific choice for your construction project. While building yourself allows you to retain control over all of the details of your project, this control does come at a price. Often building can be more expensive and there may be hidden pitfalls and costs along the way. Having a plan to secure your piece of buildable property can help to eliminate future nightmares from occurring.
Many buyers who decide to build have spent countless hours looking at pre-existing structures, only to find that none of these options truly suit their needs. Brand new homes and business facilities allow the buyer to make decisions to ensure that the details of the property meet their exact specifications. Buyers feels comfortable owning something that is uniquely theirs; unspoiled by previous owners. Buyers often consider that new builds will decrease the maintenance costs of a property, as the new materials and appliances in the structure will be less likely to break and cause costly repairs. New builds, in theory, should also be more energy efficient, provided modern construction techniques are utilized by the contractor.
Engaging the services of a realtor will be essential to help you identify the perfect piece of property here in Wisconsin. Real estate professionals often have advance information about properties when they are placed on the market, giving you a jump start above other buyers. A realtor can also provide a comprehensive evaluation of comparable properties in the area, helping to ensure that you are not over-paying for your land. Realtors who are familiar with the local area can help point out the costs and benefits of a particular area. He or she can also help connect you with other professionals who can assist you with the actual building process. LandBin.com can put you in touch with one of their qualified real estate professionals today.
When you are examining buildable land, make sure you carefully consider the positive and negative attributes of each and every parcel. Consider where you would likely build your house or business facility. If you are looking to build a business enterprise, consider whether the land you are looking at is flat and cleared of trees. If a residential property building site is what you seek, take a careful look at the views where you might build. Have beautiful scenery to surround your residential property will not only increase your enjoyment of the land, but will help add to the re-sale value of the property, as well.
Consider the amenities you wish to add to the property. Will the terrain lend itself to building a pool, a toolshed, a pole barn, an extra garage or a spacious deck? Does the property provide access to a lake if you are interested in recreational watersports or fishing? Is there enough acreage to support hunting or other outdoor activities? If you are building a business facility, are there environmental regulations you need to comply with?
Take a look at the neighbors' property. Consider whether their properties are properly maintained and whether that will impact the enjoyment of your property. Don't be afraid to meet the neighbors. Ask them about the area and get their thoughts about your intended building structure. Check out the educational system to see if the schools are up to snuff. Even if you do not have children yourself, the quality of the school systems can and will impact your future re-sale value.
Once you identify the property you wish to build on, make sure that you engage any necessary professionals to provide advice along the way. For example, consult a drainage expert to help you consider whether the composition of the land creates any issues for flooding. Talk to the necessary zoning boards to ensure that your intended use of the land comports with its current zoning. Take a look at utility structures that may already be in existence for a particular property. Having access to water, electricity and natural gas lines can be critical to your building project, unless you plan to employ alternative sources of water and energy such as wells and generators.
Hire an architect and a contractor who are very familiar with the region in which you intend to build. Make sure you check the references of these individuals. Checking with your local chapter of the Best Business Bureau, or an equivalent organization, to provide you with complaints or complements that past customers may have made regarding your chosen professionals.
Even when you are dealing with all new construction, there can still be hidden, latent defects in the property. New plumbing, roofing and electric problems are not unheard of. Hire a licensed property inspector to take a close look at the work your contractor has completed to help verify everything is in good working order. Having an inspection prior to the finishing of the interior of the structure may be beneficial as the inspector will have unfettered access to the inner working of the structure. You can also help yourself avoid having costly repairs in the future by purchasing adequate insurance to protect your interest in the property if something dramatic and unforeseen occurs.
Home warranty policies are also beneficial for new builds. Homeowners' insurance policies may not protect against appliance failures in the home; these warranties will help protect against unforeseen expenses resulting from defects in the home.
Being involved in every aspect of the building process can help prevent contractors from cutting corners. When you see a problem or an issue with your construction, don't be afraid to ask about it. Ask questions about issues you do not understand. Keep a running total of upgrades you are putting in the structure. There is nothing worse than realizes that the "small" upgrades you have added along the way add up to one monstrous bill at the end of the building process. Knowing that a buyer is monitoring their actions will help prevent contractors from taking advantage of your trust or completing sloppy work.
As you consider building on land in Wisconsin, be vigilant about the resale value of the property. While it is important for you to be truly happy with your structure, it may also be important five years from now that you be able to sell your property to the next willing buyer.
In summary, carefully develop a plan before you decide to build on a piece of Wisconsin land. Property values here in Wisconsin tend to appreciate well, so it can be a terrific investment, if you play your cards right. Do not assume that other people are going to look out for your interests. Hire independent professionals to help assist you through the process to help you oversee the contractors you hire to build your structure. Don't cut corners now to save a little bit of money; it is likely that cutting a corner now may cause you a costly amount in the future. Wisconsin buildable property is available today, but once you identify the right piece of land, don't hesitate! Today's market turns over rapidly and you must act quickly in order to secure your very own buildable land here in Wisconsin. | {

City Controller Michael Lamb Conducting Broad Audit Of Pittsburgh Police Bureau
A map of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with its neighborhoods labeled. For use primarily in the list of Pittsburgh neighborhoods. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Pittsburgh Controller Michael Lamb quietly launched a broad audit of the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police last week, according to communications obtained by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette under the state right-to-know law.
The controller's office launched the performance audit — which, as opposed to a fiscal audit, can go beyond dollars — through an email of March 21 to acting police Chief Regina McDonald. The email said preliminary objectives include "secondary employment and staffing." The first meeting with Chief McDonald occurred Wednesday.
Other communications between top controller's office officials and top police brass show that auditors launched a review of the police Premium Pay Account on Feb. 8 by emailing bureau personnel and finance manager Sandra J. Ganster. On Feb. 9, Ms. Ganster brought her concerns about the alleged diversion of funds meant for that account to public safety director Michael Huss, her attorney has said. The alleged misapplication of funds meant for the account last week became the centerpiece of the criminal case against former police Chief Nate Harper.
"It does appear that our [inquiry] is what prompted a whistle-blower to step forward," Controller Michael Lamb said. "I think that the work that we've done has helped to unveil this scandal."

Q: How to load socket io event listener from config? I have nodejs app using socket io. All event listener I would store in ./config/routes.js
module.exports.routes = {
'/auth/login': {
controller: 'auth',
action: 'login'
},
'/user/register': {
controller: 'user',
action: 'register'
},
'/auth/logout': {
controller: 'auth',
action: 'logout'
}
};
Main app like this:
var router = require('./config/routes.js');
var io = require('socket.io').listen(8888);
// Socket events
io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
for (var route in router.routes) {
if (router.routes.hasOwnProperty(route)) {
socket.on(route, function(data) {
// Do callback
});
}
}
});
The code did not work, and just the last route callback was call.
My question is: how to make that work? thanks
A: Your code registers event listener for all the given routes but when the callback is called the route variable is already set to last because the for loop has already finished executing, so you will be thinking that it only works for the last value. Basically what you need is to trap the route variable, in a way that it is the same for each of the given route handler. This problem and it's solutions are described more in here: JavaScript closure inside loops – simple practical example
Do one of the following:
Use Object.keys and forEach loop. This might be the cleanest solution in here:
Object.keys(router.routes).forEach(function (route) {
socket.on(route, function(data) {
});
})
or wrap your code in a immediately called function.
for (var route in router.routes) {
if (router.routes.hasOwnProperty(route)) {
(function (route) {
socket.on(route, function(data) {
});
})(route);
}
}
Or bind route to this variable:
for (var route in router.routes) {
if (router.routes.hasOwnProperty(route)) {
socket.on(route, function(data) {
var route = this;
}.bind(route));
}
}

You were right, It was a typing error.
yeah, when writing java without an IDE, you see the message "cannot find symbol" a lot. It just means java found something it can't interpret. Usually its a spelling mistake, or maybe, a failure to include an import statement. | {

Russia launched the World Cup party in spectacular style when they thrashed a feeble Saudi Arabia 5-0 in the tournament's opening match on Thursday to give the host nation the lift they desperately needed after a nine-month winless run.
Substitute Denis Cheryshev scored two brilliant goals after Yury Gazinsky had headed the World Cup's first after 12 minutes, Reuters reported.
Artem Dzyuba was also on target a minute after coming on as a 70th-minute substitute and Aleksandr Golovin completed a memorable day by smashing in a free kick with the last action of the game.
The result equaled the best in a World Cup opening game - Brazil beat Mexico 5-0 in Geneva in 1954 - and watching Russian President Vladimir Putin wasted no time in phoning coach Stanislav Cherchesov to congratulate him.
"We are not getting ahead of ourselves. We saw that we are on the right track but we should forget this game and concentrate on the next one," Cherchesov said after ending a seven-game winless run in emphatic style.
Constantly criticized in the ragged build-up games, Cherchesov had promised improvement once the phoney war was over and his energetic players duly delivered.
"We were tighter, more disciplined, more mature," he said. "To be good is one thing, to be good at the right time in the right place is another."
It also helps if you are facing a team who have now lost eight and drawn two of their last 10 World Cup matches, whose defending fell painfully short of World Cup standard and whose attack was non-existent.
Coach Juan Antonio Pizzi does not speak any Arabic but it will not take long for them to become aware of his Spanish description of their performance as shameful.
Russia's fans, forced to suffer years of poor performances in friendlies that left their team an embarrassing 70th in the world rankings will not care about the quality of the opponents.
But they will be aware that the Asian qualifiers look desperately ill-equipped to trouble Egypt or group favorites Uruguay, who meet tomorrow and that there is still much to be done for the hosts to secure progress to the knockout stage.
Russia can now prepare to face Egypt next week full of confidence while Saudi Arabia need to find instant improvement if they are to avoid further embarrassment against Uruguay. | {

Let's face it, the six-dollar "railroad engineer" gloves so many of us have been carrying around are quite dated. They're clumsy, uncomfortable, and lack the durability to survive the abuse our hands routinely face in the field. Their unnecessary bulkiness makes a good grip all but impossible, leading to dropped tools and damaged gear, or worse: injured hands when we throw off the gloves in frustration so we can actually get the job done. It's time for something better.
Enter Ranchworx®, a durable, extremely comfortable, well fitted glove from Ironclad. The glove is loaded up with old-school ingenuity and modern technology alike: Bullwhip™ leather, Kevlar® and Duraclad® reinforcement, Exo-Guard™ impact protection for the fingers, terrycloth sweat wipe, and a clever design for the stitching arrangement—dubbed Rolltop® Fingertips—which maximizes dexterity. All this adds up to a grippy and comfortable glove that's tough enough to handle winching and trail work, yet provides enough control and tactile feedback for wrenching or driving. Bonus: the gloves are also machine washable and clean up well after a hard day's work.
So how well do the Ranchworx® hold up to prolonged torture? The team at Expedition Portal has been beating on these gloves for the last six months with everything from engine repair to chopping firewood, moving boulders to vehicle recovery. In spite of our continued abuse the leather and fabric are still in great shape, and the gloves continue to fit like a glove should fit. We like them so much they've become standard equipment in all of our vehicles.
Consider the Ranchworx® gloves an investment in personal safety and convenience. Though a bit more expensive than those old engineer gloves, you can expect them to last for years instead of months. Pick up a pair directly from Ironclad, or for a limited time free with a one-year subscription to Overland Journal—your hands will thank you. | {

I didn't think I would be back in PA for another hunting season. But here I am. First one in a few years.
Things have changed a little bit since 2009. There was the whole natural gas boom/bust. Thanks to that there's now a giant drilling pad in the middle of the 20+ acre windrow field to the west of my house. Unexpectedly, this has actually been a really good thing, because it forces the deer to stay between its 15ft. earth walls and the pine forest––meaning that they get seen by me––not the trespassers who inevitably end up on Saxons Knob, across the road.
There are also more deer than there were in 2009. There aren't quite as many as when I was a kid, nor are they quite as big. Still, there are many more than there have been in the recent past. My brother and I have already had several fairly good opportunities to shoot, even if they haven't been prizes.
And there's the other thing that's changed. I had hunted with my brother one year before I went to Tennessee, but it's a lot different now. He has more experience, and I feel like we work as much more of a team. Oddly, I think some of this is because of how much we play video games together. It's pretty weird, but it's almost the same––only we aren't getting shot at.
So between my brother, the expanded deer population, and the new gas pad, I feel a lot more hopeful about this hunting season that I can ever remember feeling in the past.
I also feel like there's probably probably something problematic about using a drilling pad with tanks and a pipeline containing thousands of cubic meters of explosive pressurized natural gas as a backdrop/blind while you're shooting high-velocity rifles. That sounds bad, but somehow it doesn't seem at all scary when I'm actually doing it. | {

L.A. CITY ATTORNEY
MIKE FEUER
COVID-19 / LA
CITY ATTORNEY FEUER SECURES CONVICTION AGAINST PICO-UNION WOMAN FOR UNLICENSED PRACTICE OF DENTISTRY
Ziplock bag of syringes in the living room
LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer today announced that his office has successfully secured a conviction against a woman investigated for practicing dentistry without a license from the living room of her Pico-Union home. At least one victim was allegedly hospitalized due to injuries sustained undergoing a procedure. "It's outrageous for someone with no license or formal training to subject a patient to a root canal—a procedure we allege sent a victim to the hospital," said Feuer. "Unlicensed dentists and doctors prey upon people who can't afford insurance or licensed practitioners, putting their victims in great peril."
Clara Medina, 58, entered a plea of no contest to one count of battery likely to produce serious bodily injury. Medina was sentenced to three years of probation and 30 days of County jail or 20 days of community labor. She was also ordered to stay 100 yards from the victim and pay full restitution, among other penalties.
In March, 2017, the uninsured victim made an appointment to see Medina in her home for an aching tooth after being referred by co-workers who had previously seen her for other dental work. Medina attempted to perform a root canal on the victim on a living room lounge chair while using various needles. The victim subsequently required hospitalization from the injuries she sustained and may have permanent nerve damage as a result.
The case was investigated by HALT – the Los Angeles Department of Health Services Health Authority Law Enforcement Task Force - and referred to the City Attorney's Office, where it was successfully prosecuted by Deputy City Attorney Heidi Matz of Feuer's Consumer Protection Unit.

The member of Parliament of Bugangaizi East constituency in Kibaale district in Uganda, Hon. Onesimus Twinamatsiko made public statement okaying beating of women and even confessed that he slaps his wife and that this is okay.
Anti Domestic Violence Coalition (ADOVIC) condemns this statement and calls upon the speaker of Parliament of Uganda to summon this MP for first of all slapping his wife and also inciting violence against women.
Being a Honorable member of Parliament of Uganda, he is a legislator and therefore an icon of what he says.
Uganda Parliament passed a law against domestic violence in 2010(The domestic violence Act 2010) and we expect him to respect and adhere to the law.
The Member of Parliament's language clearly demonstrates that he is a perpetrator of GBV and must be punished.
Punishing this legislator will send a clear message to all men out there that domestic violence is a crime and punishable by law.
Otherwise if he is left without being punished, his message will be taken as a good one for the men and women out there.
Please sign and share this petition as a voice and support to ending violence against women not only in Uganda but world over.

La auscultación es el procedimiento por el cual se evalúa en qué condiciones se encuentra una infraestructura, cuando está en uso o en condiciones de estarlo, y sin interferir demasiado con los usuarios normales de la infraestructura. Es un procedimiento habitual en grandes obras de ingeniería, como presas, puentes, vías de ferrocarril y en aviación.
Ferrocarril
La auscultación de las líneas de ferrocarril se realiza de manera periódica en todas las líneas, más frecuentemente en líneas de alta velocidad, o cuando se detecta un problema. La auscultación se realiza a través de trenes auscultadores o vagones auscultadores acoplados a trenes convencionales, que son capaces de medir los parámetros de la infraestructura mientras circulan por ella.
Los valores que puede medir un vagón auscultador son varios y pueden variar de uno a otro: aceleración vertical, aceleración horizontal, pendiente, tensión de la catenaria, altura de la catenaria, funcionamiento de las balizas, etc. Los valores son medidos para marcar aquellos que se salgan de lo establecido como parámetros normales. En aquellos puntos en los que la vía está fuera de rango, se repara la infraestructura para devolverla a su estado original y se vuelve a auscultar para ver si la solución adoptada es correcta.
Presas
La auscultación en presas es continua durante toda la vida de la presa. A lo largo de ella se colocan diferentes instrumentos de medida que funcionan todo el tiempo, y que los responsables de la presa consultan periódicamente. Estos aparatos miden diferentes valores, como la apertura de las juntas, la inclinación o la presencia de gas radón. Los técnicos deciden en cada momento hasta qué punto puede llenarse la presa según los datos que obtienen de la auscultación.
Taludes
Mediante la auscultación de taludes se controlan las variables:
Movimientos superficiales y apertura de grietas
Movimientos interiores del terreno
Medida de las presiones intersticiales
Vialidad
Mediante las auscultaciones y prospecciones de los caminos interurbanos, carreteras, entre otros; se puede llegan llegar a conocer distintos parámetros como:
Iri (Índice de regularidad internacional)
Deflexión
Micro y macrotextura
Resistencia al deslizamiento
Entre otros.

Vilnius airport getting ready for passenger terminal reconstruction
Lietuvos Oro Uostai (Lithuanian Airports), the operator of Lithuania's three international airports, plans to launch reconstruction of passenger terminal in the airport of Vilnius in 2017 and intends to invest approximately 5 million euros in the project, informs LETA/BNS.
According to Vilnius Airport CEO Arturas Stankevicius, the terminal is getting too small and needs to be expanded. Following the upgrade, the terminal's annual capacity will increase to 5 million passengers, from current 3.5–4 million passengers.
"The number of boarding gates will be increased. We now have 10 gates and plan to increase their number to 14. Also, we'll build an additional escalator to reach the border checkpoint when passengers are arriving. It'll be more convenient for them as they'll no longer need to walk along corridors. We'll also enhance aviation security capacity. These works will not affect the functioning of the terminal in any way," Stankevicius told BNS.
The works should be completed late in 2017 or early in 2018, he added.
Passenger traffic at the airport of Vilnius rose by 13.4% last year, to 3.34 million. | {

The potential for 5G is so much more than a need for speed
March 20, 2018 Guest Writer Views 0
Image credit: Joseph Sohm / Shutterstock.com
Operators are at an inflection point as they struggle to move away from selling vanilla voice and data services to becoming digital service providers. 5G has the potential to be a key part of that journey, if it is properly leveraged – and that means going beyond the need for speed and capitalising on the full value of these new network architectures.
Several decades ago, American actor Tom Cruise proclaimed in the iconic movie "Top Gun" that he felt the need for speed. That statement echoed in my head a few weeks ago when I read a survey commissioned jointly by Nokia and Qualcomm that named faster speed as a key reason consumers want 5G.
However, equating 5G with faster speeds is selling the technology short; speed may be the easiest attribute of 5G for non-tech savvy consumers to understand, but it's certainly not the only one. The transition from 3G to 4G meant faster speeds that paved the way for mobile broadband services and the current expectations around ubiquitous access to those services. 5G, on the other hand, is an entirely new architecture that delivers exponential improvements in not only speed, but also latency, capacity, power consumption and number of connections supported. 3G to 4G was an evolution; 4G to 5G is a revolution that opens the door for entirely new use cases, no doubt including ones we haven't even dreamed up yet.
But with that opportunity comes the very real risk that 5G will become an exercise in network design and engineering, as opposed to a way for operators to truly remake themselves and generate additional revenue. Bloomberg puts the cost of 5G at about $200B per year in capital spending. Without a clear plan to generate a return on that investment, operators may be left with empty pockets and a shiny new network that isn't generating enough value to justify the cost.
This means that solutions that enable network monetization and control have never been more important than they are in the 5G realm, and those suppliers with a proven track record around supporting revenue-generating business models are best positioned to provide them. The following capabilities are particularly critical to support successful 5G use cases:
Real-time dynamic policy beyond a standardized core network function that can be pushed closer to the edge to support ultra-low latency use cases, rapidly.
Dynamic charging that can go beyond charging for consumption, e.g. variable charging for latency, availability, bandwidth, etc.
The ability to flexibly support new business models by integrating third parties into the operator ecosystem via secure exposure of network services and capabilities.
Advanced analytics and machine learning to provide better contextual inputs for policy and charging decisions ranging from support for variable Quality of Service to network slice optimization to early identification of fraud or malware introduced by IoT devices.
The net result is engagement with a wider range of segments, served by a more powerful set of appropriate business models.

Hal David RIP, New Releases, dB's, David Byrne + St. Vincent, Kitten + Skunk
Tuesday, September 04, 2012 - 08:00 AM
HAL DAVID (Right, with Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach), whose heartfelt lyrics merged with Burt Bacharach's quirky melodies to produce dozens of hit songs, not to mention Oscars, Grammys and Tonys, died Saturday. He was 91. If the David and Bacharach catalog was "more cosmopolitan and less hip than that of the Beatles or Bob Dylan, their ruminations on love and heartbreak have nonetheless endured"; decades after their heyday, there's always something there to remind us how great the songs are. Say a little prayer for him this Twofer Tuesday.
NEW RELEASES from Black Mountain, Two Door Cinema Club, Stars, Deerhoof, Sondre Lerche, Jens Lekman,Two Gallants and many more are streaming this week via Spinner.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The Possession tops the Labor Day weekend chart with 21 million against a 14 million budget, despite an adult cast of known actors. Lawless places with 13 million against an undisclosed, but almost certainly higher, budget; the Weinsteins took this one to Cannes, but ended up dropping it on a traditionally slow movie weeekend. The Expendables 2 drops from the throne to show with 11.2 million, till lagging the original domestically, but chugging away nicely worldwide. The Bourne Legacy takes the fourth slot with 9.4 million; it nears th 100 million mark, but may not recoup its 125 production budget stateside. ParaNorman rounds out the Top 5 with 8.9 million; although it did not drop dramatically, it seems unlikely to turn a profit as Coraline did. Below the fold, The Dark Knight Rises crossed the one billion dollar mark worldwide, while Oogieloves In The BIG Balloon Adventure debuted at No. 22, in one of the worst wide openings in recent history.

New themes: Lovecraft or Libretto?
I have been using a default them for blogging, Twenty Ten I think it is called. Experimented with similar themes, but always came back to the basic. As a result of the assignment, I experimented not only with similar themes, but with very different ones. I tried the new WP theme, Blask, then tried ECTO, Sandbox (which I liked because it reminded me of Wikipedia once I changed the background color), and was somewhat attracted to Syntax. Then, for something entirely different, I tried Lovecraft and let it sit overnight.
In the morning, Lovecraft just didn't do anything for me. So I searched free themes (for now, I might decide to try a premium theme in the future when my revenue stream recommences) and came across Libretto. I tried it. I customized it just a bit. And I activated it. I think I really like it! May stick with it for a few days. May switch back to Lovecraft. My pages are hidden, but perhaps they need to be, and perhaps that function can be restored.
On the job search side, I ran into a fellow retiree in the lobby of our building last night who had just returned from an overseas WAE (While Actually Employed, government-speak for the program whereby federal retirees can return to work on a part-time basis). I mentioned thinking about WAE work, but only domestically, not overseas. Then she mentioned that she had received information about volunteer opportunities at the Smithsonian and at the Library of Congress. Inside my head, bells started ringing and light started blinking! Yeah, I could apply my recently acquired librarianship skills in a meaningful way at either. So when I got to my apartment, I went immediately to the websites of both to look up potential opportunities. And, Bingo!
So I am checking it out further. Wish me luck. | {

Gaze at the Spectacular Beauty of a Dying Star
BY Caitlin Schneider
European Southern Observatory
Leave it to the cosmos to make every stage of the life cycle more beautiful than the last.
The photo above is of ESO 378-1, also known as the Southern Owl Nebula. Once a star, this planetary nebula was captured by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in northern Chile. It's 3,500 light-years away in the constellation Hydra, and has a diameter of almost four-light years.
The gorgeous phenomenon is a result of the gases ejected when a star expands during the beginning stages of its twilight years. As they bubble outward, the gases dissipate, and the hot core begins to emit UV radiation which then ionizes the surrounding gas—resulting in those glowing hues. As elements are carried off into the stellar wind, they feed back into the universe.
The core that's left after the nebula fades will continue to burn for a billion years and then transform into a white dwarf, which will take another couple billion years to cool down.
The current state of the Southern Owl Nebula is a preview of what's to come for our own sun. More massive stars live out their final days as a supernovae. Researchers believe there are around 10,000 planetary nebulas currently in the Milky Way, though we've only spotted about 1,500.
This chart shows the interstellar location of ESO 378-1:

The planetary nebula phase is a short one in the life of a star, lasting only tens of thousands of years. So while it will remain long after we're gone, that seems as good an excuse as any to take a minute to appreciate its majesty. | {

The Five Great Masters of the Elements, Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and the purest form, Quintessence, were the first beings on Elrin. They were granted powers beyond their comprehension by an Angel that came down from the Heavens. Using their combined powers, they made what is known as the Five Continents, and formed Pools and Oceans in the Continents. Elmin, the Master of Quintessence, gave life to our kind, Orcs, the Beasts, Elves, and the such, and so we roamed the Earth. The Five Great Masters established Towns all over Elrin, and they made five Major Cities, named after themselves.
Now, everything was good until one day, Elmin discovered that each Human and the Dragons of the Earth each had an Inner Will that gave them their own Element. The Inner Will was a form of Spirit that rests in the center of the body, the thing that gives you life. There were five kinds of Inner Will: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Quintessence. Elmin became envious of the Humans' and Dragons' Inner Will, for the thought that only the Five Great Masters had some amount of control of the Elements. He told the other Masters of this, but they were delighted and decided to give this generation weapons to be able to become stronger. They even made Magic Banks in which to store magic in.
Furious, Elmin set out to slay every single living thing that possessed this Inner Will. The Devil, who had retreated into the bowels of the Earth because Good was everywhere, seized this opportunity and possessed Elmin, who had a weakness of the heart that was caused by jealousy. The Devil wreaked chaos everywhere, and using the power of Evil and of Elmin's original strength, set out to conquer the world.
However, everywhere in the world there were organizations opposing this. The Four Remaining Masters, as they were now referred to as, had disappeared into the very inner sanctum of the Major Magic Banks, for that was where their homes were. The Quintessence Bank was shut down and is now a crumbling ruin of what used to be a glorious place.
The rebellious organizations had a bunch of scattered names, but they were referred to in general as Clans. Soon enough, though, after the Clans were made, there became rivalry between them. The Devil watched with much amusement as the Clans fought one another, forgetting their original cause. In the end, only four Clans survived in their own bloodshed: the Clans made up of people with the same attribute of Inner Will. The people that had the Quintessence kind of Inner Will quickly disappeared: they had either died out, since the Devil tracked them down first (they were a large threat since that was the strongest kind of Inner Will), or they had joined the Evil ranks of the Devil himself.
Finally, after twenty or so years of watching the Humans bicker amongst themselves, the Devil took action and cast a spell so powerful, along with the Quintessence-users, named Traitors, that made children unable to be born. This spell was cast during an eclipse, the time that Good was weakened because there was no Sun for the day.
But at the last moment, a Hero was born, according to the prophecy. Comical, if you think about it.
Magic Banks are pretty much like normal banks, apart from the fact that they store Magic instead of Gold. Magic Banks distribute free Capture Jars every now and then. Confused? Don't worry. Capture Jars are special bottles that allow the Hero to catch Magic. As you all know, the Inner Will of Dragons look like a thick liquid, much like blood, that is the color of the attribute it is. Heroes are able to catch this substance that comes out of Dragons after they have been slew and fill Capture Jars to the brim. You store Capture Jars in Magic Banks, but of course you'll have to pay a small fee as commission.
There are different kinds of Magic Banks. The five major banks - now four, of course - only store their kind of magic. However, it's like growing a stone: you should check up on your Jars every now and then, and find that the Quality of the Magic is stronger. More about that later.
Don't worry! There are numerous other Magic Banks all over Elrin. Some of these banks are known as 'Scattered Magic Banks', or SMB's for short. These SMBs allow the Hero to store any kind of Magic within the Jar(s), and charge no commission, but the Quality of the Magic does not grow.
What is Quality? Well, as we all know, a forest fire is much more severe than a house on fire. A flood isn't as bad as a tsunami, and so on. The Quality of Magic means how severe it is. The higher level the Dragon that you defeat, the better Quality the Magic will be. If you defeat a small Air Wyvern, for example, the Magic you store in your Capture Jar will have the effect of a harsh breeze.
You can release Magic from the Capture Jars in several ways. Impure Magic is Magic that has just been caught and put in a Capture Jar. Some, like Spellcasters, prefer to cast spells and such by releasing the Magic through a staff or wand. Warriors, who usually don't fight with Magic, can have special swords or spears that allow them to channel Magic and unleash them, surprising their foes.
Spellcasters usually have stronger Magical abilities than Warriors, but Warriors can easily decapitate a Spellcaster that is not paying attention. If you are confused or have any questions, click on the 'Contact Us' link on the navigational bar on top.
Magic Banks are very important to the game!
This is where the 'Home' page is put to good use. Read back on the information there and you'll get the things put on this page.
These are the Stats and such that each Race has, or each Class gives.
Basic Race: the race you choose to be when you are starting out. So far, there is only one that is NOT LIMITED EDITION.
Silver Scythe: A new limited edition type of Basic Race. These are available in shops for a short amount of time on special events. Check the 'Event' section below for more information. Limited Edition Races are special, as they have no other stats in them apart from the below. The reason is quite simple; as you can train each stat as your character gains more knowledge, experience, and levels, having any of the other stats reduced will seem unfair. Notice the speed stat, though: it's lower since Silver Scythes have claws made of silver and it lags them. The only difference is a slight harder manipulation of the character on the screen.
Basic Classes: You get a bonus on your Stats depending on which Class you take.
Warrior: Warriors are the most offensive kind of attackers. They specialize in brute strength, but don't stereotype them with Orcs. They're not all brawn!
Spellcaster: Spellcasters focus on their Magic skills. They have amazing mental capability and can attack using Ranged magic to Melee. Whack them with that staff!
Archer: Archers use their bows and arrows to deal heavy Range damage to their opponents. Their minds are sharp, like their arrows, but they also like to focus on defense. They use Magic more than the average Warrior, but not so much as a Spellcaster.
Half-Breeds are a special kind of Race. In order to become one, a Hero or Heroine would need to drink a special Potion that enables them to mix Races together.
For example, if you are a Human but you have an Elf Card (Cards are the things that gives a Hero the power to change Race and Class. You can have multiple Cards on you at once - there is a small box on the sidebar in the game that displays all of your current Cards), by drinking the potion you can mix your Human Race Card, which is given to the Hero in the start of the game, with the Elf Card. Not only will your character look different, your Stats are changed, and you are able to wield weapons unavailable to both Elves and Humans! Remember, several Cards cost Credits, so choose wisely!
Land in Elrin is precious. However, your character is allowed to purchase land through special Cards. The more expensive land is, the larger area and better plants, seeds, trees, and wildlife will thrive and grow there. Wildlife will be attracted to more expensive pieces of land. Landowners are allowed to rent out land to tenants, who are allowed to share the assets of the land and own a smaller House there. Players are not allowed to own Houses if they do not have land or own part of a piece of land.
Events are things that happen during a time of a year. For example, there are special quests available on Christmas, and even a miniplot. Miniplots are nicknamed Events, hence the title. These are little quests that you can do only during a certain time period and the rewards are great. Events are definitely worth it. Also, new Classes and Races are available on certain Events. For example, the Silver Scythe Race is available during Halloween, as well as the Neko Race. Classes include the Reaper Class on Halloween, and so on. | {

Florida Bay, cyanobacteria, organic N, organic P, nutrient limitation, urease, alkaline phosphatase, bioassay, nutrient uptake rates
https://doi.org/10.3354/meps280073
Florida Bay, a shallow, seagrass-dominated bay in southern Florida, USA, receives significant nutrient inputs and has experienced seagrass losses and microalgal blooms within the last several decades. Inorganic nutrient inputs have been well characterized, but the role of organic nutrients, specifically of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and organic phosphorus (DOP), in supporting microbial processes in the bay is unknown. In this study various techniques were used to assess the importance of these nutrients along a transect in Florida Bay when a cyanobacterial bloom occurred in the central region in November 2002. These techniques included measurements of ambient particulate and dissolved nutrients, enzyme (urease and alkaline phosphatase) activities, and experiments to determine rates of N-15 uptake (nitrate, ammonium, urea, and amino acids over a period of 0.5 h) and long-term (48 h) changes in microbial biomass and N-15 natural abundance in enrichment bioassays. The cyanobacterial bloom in central Florida Bay was associated with the highest concentrations of DON and DOP, whereas the microflagellate- and diatom-dominated eastern bay region was associated with the highest concentrations of inorganic nutrients. The zeaxanthin: chlorophyll a ratio (an indicator of the relative contribution of cyanobacteria to phytoplankton biomass) was positively correlated with the rate of uptake of urea, and negatively correlated with the rate of uptake of inorganic nitrogen. The opposite pattern was observed for the fucoxanthin: chlorophyll a ratio (indicative of relative diatom biomass) and the peridinin: chlorophyll a ratio (indicative of relative photosynthetic dinoflagellate biomass), suggesting that different algal groups were using different N substrates. Biomass responses in the bioassay experiments showed that phytoplankton (as chlorophyll a) responded to DON additions in the western region and to DOP additions in the eastern region, but heterotrophic bacteria, in contrast, responded to DOP additions in the west and DON additions in the east. These findings thus demonstrate the potential for different sources of N, including DON, to stimulate different components of the algal community, and for the phytoplankton and bacteria to respond differently to N and P.

CORRECTED - UPDATE 2-Microsoft, Yahoo agree on ad partnership-source
(Corrects day of the week in the first paragraph)
* Ad deal to be announced in 24 hours - source
* Microsoft won't pay Yahoo an upfront fee - source
* Deal focuses on revenue sharing - source
* Yahoo, Microsoft shares higher after hours (Adds details on expected deal, background)
SEATTLE, July 28 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) and Yahoo Inc YHOO.O have agreed to an online search and advertising partnership, in an attempt to rival Google Inc, (GOOG.O) that will be announced within 24 hours, a source familiar with the situation said on Tuesday.
Microsoft will not pay an upfront fee to Yahoo, and the focus of the deal is on sharing revenue between the two companies, said the source, who did not want to be identified because a formal announcement has not been made.
The news and details of the expected deal were first reported by the AllThingsDigital blog and Advertising Age.
Microsoft and Yahoo declined comment. The two companies have talked for months about cooperating in the online advertising market, dominated by Google.
Microsoft tried to buy Yahoo last year but its $47.5 billion bid was rebuffed and Yahoo's attempt to seal a search advertising deal with Google Inc (GOOG.O) fell apart under regulatory scrutiny.
Under the expected deal, Microsoft's new Bing search engine will power Yahoo's searches, according to Advertising Age, while Yahoo will handle the advertising sales, using Microsoft technology.
The deal should give Bing a giant boost in competing with Google's search engine. Google's search engine dominates the marketplace with 65 percent of U.S. Internet searches, according to figures provided by research firm ComScore. Last month, Microsoft had only 8.4 percent of the market and Yahoo 19.6 percent.
There is a chance a deal combining the powers of the second and third-ranked search engine companies would be blocked by antitrust regulators. Google and Yahoo dropped plans for an advertising partnership last year under opposition from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Shareholders of both Microsoft and Yahoo have been urging the two to strike a deal for some time. Earlier this month, activist investor Carl Icahn, who owns about 5 percent of Yahoo and is a director on its board, spoke out in favor of a search deal, as talks between the two companies appeared to regain momentum.
Shares of Yahoo traded at $17.39 in after-hours trading after closing at $17.22, while shares of Microsoft rose to $23.51 in after-hours trading from their close of $23.47. (To read more about the media business, visit the Reuters MediaFile blog at blogs.reuters.com/mediafile/)

Impending US food safety rules will affect carriers
The US is modernizing its food safety regulations and Canadian carriers will be affected
by James Menzies
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The US is modernizing its food safety regulations, introducing sweeping changes that will include new requirements for trucking companies. The aptly named Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) represents the first major overhaul of US food safety regulations since the current rules were written in 1938.
The Act includes seven major proposed rules and the most recent of them to be introduced, covering the Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Food, will have the greatest impact on carriers. The rule concerning transportation was announced Jan. 31 and is open for public comment through May 31.
Canadian food haulers will have to meet new requirements under the Food Safety Modernization Act.
"This proposed rule will help reduce the likelihood of conditions during transportation that can lead to human or animal illness or injury," Michael Taylor, the US Food and Drug Administration's deputy commissioner for foods and veterinary medicine said when the rule was announced. "We are now one step closer to fully implementing the comprehensive regulatory framework for prevention that will strengthen the FDA's inspection and compliance tools, modernize oversight of the nation's food safety system and prevent foodborne illnesses before they happen."
In an interview with Truck News, Mike Kashtock, consumer safety officer with the FDA's Centre for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, said carriers that already apply Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)-type principles to their operations won't have trouble complying with the new requirements. However, trucking companies that are sloppy when it comes to cleaning, loading and maintaining their equipment will have to improve. The new rules will also place the onus on carriers and food companies to prove to FDA that they are safely handling food products throughout the supply chain.
"The 1938 law basically says you can't produce foods, store foods or transport foods under unsanitary conditions and then puts the burden on FDA to go out and do inspections and find violations and take actions," Kashtock explained. "The FSMA changes the paradigm and requires the broader industry to go through the preliminary step of analyzing potential things that could go wrong and then put measures in place to make sure those things are monitored and controlled so they don't go wrong, or if they do go wrong, they're spotted very quickly and the food is taken out of the channels of sale. All the traditional requirements of the 1938 law remain but the preventive elements that were never as a matter of law the industry's responsibilities, are now the industry's responsibilities."
The proposed rule establishes requirements for vehicles and transportation equipment, transportation operations, training and record-keeping. As one example, shippers will be required to inspect a vehicle for cleanliness or contamination prior to loading food that is not completely enclosed by its container. Carriers will be required to establish written procedures, subject to record-keeping requirements, for cleaning their vehicles and equipment. The rules will apply equally to US carriers and Canadian fleets that operate there, as well as shippers, receivers and importers.
"Many companies practice those elements voluntarily," Kashtock acknowledged. "What the FSMA really has done is taken the current practices that have evolved since the 1938 law and made them not voluntary. A lot of what this new food safety law would require when the regulations get finalized, proactive firms have been doing for quite some time."
The three primary areas identified under the rules as the most likely causes of contamination during transport include: temperature control, the transportation of bulk product in tankers; and cleanliness of cargo bays. Rather than rewrite the rulebook, Kashtock said FDA opted to encourage the use of best practices that already exist within the food industry.
"Best practices exist and they are quite stratified," he said. "The juice industry has its unique best practices it has developed, the grain and feed industry has its own. There are best practices and model codes that have been around for quite some time and are actually in use, probably in the vast majority of situations right now."
Kashtock said incidences of food contamination during interstate transport are actually quite rare. It's more of a problem on the local level.
"One area where there have been some of these types of reports (of contamination) are deliveries to ethnic food restaurants where there have been some reports of deliveries taking place of perishables in non-refrigerated vehicles or stacking of loads in such a way that raw meat and produce were stacked in close proximity to one another," Kashtock said. "This is very sporadic but it's indicative of the challenge of trying to gain acceptance of these best practices, really at all levels of industry, down to the levels where there obviously needs to be more of an appreciation of proper handling and maintenance than there is right now."
Asked if the rules will eventually require the use of telematics solutions that remotely monitor the temperature of refrigerated food while in transit, Kashtock said the FDA doesn't plan to mandate any specific technologies.
"We haven't proposed any specific type of technology to be used for temperature monitoring, nor have we proposed to require continuous, ongoing monitoring during shipments," he said.
The rules continue to be subject to public comment until the end of May, at which time the FDA will review the feedback that was provided and make any necessary changes to the regulations. The court-ordered deadline for the final rule to be published is March 31, 2016. Once published, it will be at least another year before it's implemented, meaning carriers won't have to comply with the new rules until 2017 (for large businesses, defined as having more than US$25.5 million in annual revenue) and 2018 for small businesses.
You can view the full rule as well as details on how to submit a comment here.

The rings are then professionally hand finished with love and returned to you sparkly new and ready for your special day.
My joy this week when I saw the finished product of our evening was unbelievable....... my new ring is exactly the same as a ring I had lost....only better, as it is new and the end result of a combined effort of my three daughters and I to 'get it right'. Thank you so much for a fantastic experience. I will treasure my ring forever and it will be a talking point due to its history. The three of us had a wonderful family evening, the memory of which is very precious particularly for me as a very grateful Mum.
Thank you so much for an absolutely brilliant evening! My girlfriend was so delighted with the surprise but to be honest I was more surprised at how much I enjoyed it myself. The whole process was so enjoyable and the finished ring was beyond what I had expected to make. The Mother's birthday's next, I'll be Mr. Popularity. | {

World Ukraine Ceasefire Largely Holding, Debaltseve Still Tense
Ukraine Ceasefire Largely Holding, Debaltseve Still Tense
Sunday, February 15, 2015 at 8:57 pm | כ"ו שבט תשע"ה
LUHANSKE, Ukraine (AP) -
A ceasefire that went into effect Sunday in eastern Ukraine appeared largely to be holding, although continued fighting over a bitterly contested railway hub is threatening to upend the delicate settlement.
The leaders of Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany, who last week brokered a deal to try to end the conflict that has raged since April, agreed in a conference call Sunday that hostilities should also cease around the government-held town of Debaltseve, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's office said. Undeterred, armed separatists appeared intent to pursue their claim to the town.
Heavy fog shrouding sodden fields muffled the sound of artillery, but regular shelling could still be heard from Luhanske, a town about 15 kilometers (9 miles) to northwest of Debaltseve and over 80 kilometers west of the city Luhansk. Associated Press journalists were blocked from moving closer by Ukrainian troops, who said it was not safe to travel ahead.
The ceasefire has kindled slender hopes of a reprieve from a conflict that has claimed more than 5,300 lives. Withdrawal of heavy armor from the front line by both sides is scheduled to begin Monday.
Attention will be focused in the coming days on Debaltseve, where Ukrainian forces have been fending off severe onslaughts from the rebels for weeks. The town is a railway link between the main separatist-held cities of Donetsk and Luhansk.
The diminution in hostilities was agreed after a marathon session of diplomacy that brought together Poroshenko, Russian President Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French leader Francois Hollande for talks in the capital of Belarus, Minsk.
In a conference call Sunday, the leaders agreed the ceasefire should extend to Debaltseve, according to a statement from Poroshenko's office.
That flies in the face of the position taken by rebels, who argue they should be granted immediate control over the town as it is entirely surrounded by their forces. Separatist officials have said any force adopted against Ukrainian troops in Debaltseve would accordingly not violate the Minsk agreement.
As he issued the ceasefire order at one minute after midnight Kiev time Sunday, Poroshenko had said the road to the town remained open and that Ukrainian troops there had been resupplied with ammunition.
Merkel's office said that the call's participants welcomed the general acceptance of the truce, but were concerned about continuing combat operations, especially in the area around Debaltseve.
"They showed determination to work toward a full implementation of the true. As a next step, Tuesday's agreed on withdrawal of heavy arms had to be started," the statement said.

MILFORD — Talks have begun about installing a modern sewer system that would connect Westfall and Milford townships while replacing antiquated tanks that put a burden on local businesses.
Westfall enacted an ordinance to investigate a new sewer system that would connect its current system to Milford's along a portion of the Route 6 and Route 209 corridor, the road between Milford township and borough. Gary Williams, Milford Township's vice chair and roadmaster, said Westfall sponsored the agreement because it owns the sewage treatment plant.
"Everyone is in discussion and discovery about what this would mean for the township, especially where costs are concerned," Williams said.
Costly and inefficient septic tanksThe Milford Diner, which relies on an antiquated septic system installed in 1921, pays $1,600 a month to have its tank cleaned, says diner co-owner Chris Stamapis. He said any business that serves large numbers of customers, and draws a lot of water into its bathrooms and kitchens, is burdened by the old system.
The septic system is basically a hole in the ground, Stamapis said, and it's "not acting the way it's supposed to."
He said there are 12 wells underneath the diner's parking lot. When he and a partner bought the business more than four years ago, they installed a 4,000-gallon grease trap that prevents grease from seeping underground and clogging the area.
Belle Reve Senior Living Center in Milford pays at least $4,800 a year to pump its septic tanks, a job done twice annually, said executive director Travis Martin.
"We have two septics," he said. "One runs the first and second floors, and one runs the third floor. Our tanks are full when we have them pumped. There are times we have to have them pumped more frequently, depending on what is going on."
When a problem arises, like a pump breakdown, costs escalate.
"We had a pump go down, and the cost of the pump was about $2,500," he said.
Martin said each tank has two pumps, so there's always a backup. When one pump malfunctions, another kicks in. The tanks are aerated by a blower system.
"Preventative maintenance prevents costly repairs and increased pumping cost fees," he said.
Attracting new businessesMike Sullivan, executive director of the Pike County Development Authority, said a new sewer system would be good for business.
"A new agreement would allow Westfall Township to more fully utilize their sewer system," he said. Furthermore, he said, "expansion of businesses with large numbers of employees could be located on existing parcels in Milford Township."
Current septic systems are elevated mound systems known as "turkey mounds," he said, which are inadequate for commercial facilities that serve large numbers of people.
"Whole classifications of businesses could relocate in Milford if a municipal sewer system were available," he said.
Sullivan emphasized that he is not a participant in the municipal talks, but fully understands how a sewer system would benefit the Milford business community.
Sizing up costs and flowsWestfall has the capacity to treat additional sewage collected by extensions. It first needs to determine the cost of building the extension and the size of the flows that would be generated if the townships were hooked together.
The project's feasibility study would either be funded by grants or shared by the municipalities involved. The townships and the borough are now in discussions to determine the feasibility of any agreement.
Penny Luhrs, the Milford Township supervisor, and Anthony McNaughton, the Milford Township solicitor, were among those who met with officials from the borough and the Milford water authority at the commissioners' office on Dec. 5 to discuss a possible agreement, Williams said.
The next meeting of the Milford Township Supervisors is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 17, at 7 p.m.
"I would like to see a sewer system in Milford," said Stamapis. "It would be the best thing to ever happen in this town." | {

Blink and you'll miss it, part 3: Middlesbrough Ironopolis 1893-94
in British, History, Stories
In this instalment of our 'Blink and you'll miss it' series, DAN ROBERTS looks at the momentary appearance in the Football League of a club very much forged in the industrial north.
There is a recently reformed football club situated around 70 miles north of Philadelphia called Bethlehem Steel. In their previous incarnation they were one of the most successful of the early American clubs. But all their silverware was not what made me aware of their existence. It was their eye catching name. I have recently also discovered another Pennsylvania-based club called Bearfight FC. I guess these are the kind of names that I notice.
It is also the reason why I wanted to write about a football club called Middlesbrough Ironopolis. A name that evokes the industrial revolution as well as a Marvel comic book location. How can you not be intrigued by a club with a name like that
Formed in 1889 by members of the Middlesbrough club we know today who wanted the town to have a professional club, they settled on the frankly wonderful Ironopolis moniker as a nod to the region's reputation as a centre for iron and steel production (unfortunately nothing to do with being the home town of some minor Stan Lee character).
Ironopolis were very much the club of the working man in the town as opposed to Middlesbrough FC who drew their support from the middle and upper class who favoured the amateur game.

In only five years of existence Ironopolis managed to win three consecutive Northern League titles – as well two Cleveland Charity Cup victories – and reached the quarter final of the FA Cup in the 1892-93 season before being knocked out by the big guns of Preston North End.
Their success in the Northern League and FA Cup granted them the bigger stage of the second division of the Football League in the 1893-94 campaign. After losing their first game of the season to eventual winners Liverpool, Ironopolis went on to record just eight victories in 28 games – although they did beat Small Heath who finished second.
But all was not well at the club. In a scene that could be transplanted into today's footballing world, the players' wages far exceeded the gate receipts. On top of that there was the added cost of travelling to play clubs as far afield as Woolwich Arsenal which made the club's financial state perilous.
The club lost their stadium – the also gloriously named Paradise Ground – and two months before the season had even ended the players had been served notice of plans to liquidate the club. Middlesbrough Ironopolis drew their last match at the end of April and the club resigned from the Football League, officially disbanding a month later.
It looks like the club's desire to be professional in the top league in the land was their ultimate downfall. Riding high in the Northern League just wasn't enough for the visionaries behind the setting up of the club. Although the team performed adequately on the pitch there just wasn't enough money coming in and the impressively named Middlesbrough Ironopolis became just another footnote in the history of the game.
Only one other club spent just one season in the Football League. Bootle FC were replaced by near neighbours Liverpool after also falling foul of financial problems just the season before.
Continuing the parallels to football clubs of today, Ironopolis managed to get through three different sets of kit colours in their brief history, finally parading a fetching cherry red shirt with a white sash.
The other side in Middlesbrough finally turned professional six years after the demise of Ironopolis and are now performing at the very highest level in the country. If only the people behind Middlesbrough Ironopolis hadn't acted as impatiently as many of the club owners do today we might even be enjoying a modern day Teesside derby.

Avalon - "Beauty Unrivalled by Any Other" - What?
Do you think Toyota was 'Taking the Mick'? The original Toyota Avalon, which launched in the USA in 2000 was a truly pedestrian piece of car styling. It was sympatico with boring, bland, featureless and frumpy.
According to Wikipedia and online dictionaries, Avalon was associated with two different themes; first, the mythical island where King Arthur's sword was forged (okay!); and in relation to people names it is supposed to refer to someone with 'beauty unrivalled by another' (duh!).
When looking at the original car, that could mean that any reference to beautiful styling is a myth; and second that Toyota USA was genuinely having a loan of us by planting such an outrageous claim on a truly awful example of design.
Next, have a look at the concept sketch of the 2014 MY Avalon, released in 2013. Now, if they could emulate this in the metal, things might be looking up.
Then came the launch of the production model at the New York Auto Show at Easter 2014. Wow, this is a really cool-looking car.
Whilst in Vancouver recently, with a trip to Calgary next on the travel schedule, I discovered that our host in Stampede City has just acquired a brand new Avalon.
It's roughly 1060km from Vancouver to Calgary. If you drive it non-stop in the summertime it could take about 12-15 hours. Most people fly, which is just a 90 minute hop on Air Canada.
As I've previously mentioned Vancouver is a beautiful city with a great laid-back atmosphere.
Sitting astride a beautiful harbor it's a city dedicated to the outdoors, with a lot of people cycling, walking, jogging, skiing and sailing.
Lifting off from Vancouver, you fly due east, crossing the Rocky Mountains.
Actually the flight path crosses an area of the Rockies known as the Lewis & Clarke Range, after the daring duo of explorers who sailed up the Mississippi, and when the water ran out, they lugged their canoes over the mountains to land on the west coast.
Calgary sits on river flats, in the shadow of the Rockies, and if you drive due west you get to the skiing centre of Banff; due north you arrive in Edmonton.
At the highest points of Calgary it's an impressive view gazing at the snow-covered peaks.
In the airport car park here is a dazzling white Avalon ready to be sampled. Up close and personal the styling is very different to its predecessors. Toyota USA tells me that the car was designed completely in the company's studio in Ann Arbour, Michigan. Toyota operates two studios in the USA, one in California, and one in Michigan, which also has facilities for final engineering work. Both studios are managed by Design Director Kevin Hunter, and the lead designer on the Avalon program was Miljan Jevremovic.
Miljan, who hails from Maine, has worked wonders with the basic Camry platform, stretching the overhangs to give great line and perspective to the car.
The front has a quite aggressive 'mouth', and just enough brightwork to give an air of luxury.
We shot the car at one of the highest points in Calgary, with the backdrop of the Rockies and a mantle of Fall snow.
As a result of manipulating the platform, there is excellent interior space, and a huge trunk.
The only area which does not sync with the fresh exterior, is the instrument panel (IP). In my opinion it's quite jumbled and incoherent, with switches splashed all over in an illogical manner.
The standard equipment list is impressive with XM-Sirius Satellite Radio; Parking and lane-change sensors, GPS and Lexus-like dials and gauges. At night however, darkness obscures the layout details and the illumination gives it a quite sexy appearance.
So how is it on the road? First, more congratulations to Toyota, for the ongoing evolution of the V6 engine. I first sampled the original V6 in a Camry in 1993 on a Car and Driver test day, and remarked to anyone who would listen that engine was a jewel, with sewing machine precision.
Nothing's changed. It's specific power output has increased slightly, but its power and torque curves are very well matched to the six-speed auto transmission. The delivery of power is quiet and smooth, and there's always enough 'on tap' when you need it.
I was very surprised by the firmness of the ride. In a car aimed exclusively at North American drivers, I expected a slushy, indistinct wallow, but nothing like that. The car points very precisely, and is well-balanced. A trace of understeer when it's pushed, but overall it is a very comfortable car to drive.
The current Avalon may not be "Beauty Unrivalled", but it's very nice package and great value for money - a comparative Lexus is ten grand more - for basically the same car!

It was my all our first time stepping into Penang Turf Club.
We were happy that even the car parking was free for this Penang Turf Club Expo 17-19 Dec 2010. Entrance was also free. So really best time to go with the whole family all in tow.
At the entrance, we were greeted by horses in their stables.
It was really smelly actually, and you couldn't help but to pinch your noses when you got near. But once you stepped in, you are immune to the smell and you get to see horses of various breeds.
Shern was very excited to see the horses. He kept on pointing at them.
After the horses, you pass through the gate which will then lead you to the expo. First impression was that it was so carnival-like, with many booths and loud music blaring on the speakers.
There was a farriery demonstartion, whatever that is. But you can see people going something with the horse shoes, making them I suppose.
And there were several art booths such as Sand Arts Corner and Face & Hand Painting Booth.
There was even a snake charmer in the programme. I took Shern to see the snake but he was not interested because the snake was not moving much.
There were also jugglers and they were juggling fire torches too.
Unfortunately, there were no horse rides, just a big horse for children below 8 to sit on it to take photos. It was too high for me to heave Shern up. And Shern kept on signing to me that the horse is sleeping because of its eyes being close. Haha.
But there was a pony ride somewhere I think.
And in this photo, Shern was crying. I do not know why. I don't think he was afraid of the clowns because he just high-fived to them a minute before this photo.
We saw this tall-man on stilts walking past but Shern was still crying.
He would not stop crying until I gave in and bought him a drink. Finally, his crying stops.
Look at him still drinking happily while taking photos.
My cousins and Min had their hands painted. RM3-4 for a hand, cheap huh? I like Min's butterfly the best. It is the one on the right. So artistic looking.
...and shaking his bon-bon to the blaring music.
Luckily, it was quite a cloudy day. But there were ample trees there to provide us shade. Love the trees there.
Then we walked to the equestrian area. Beautiful.
Many people were crowding to watch the Flying Phoenix Ride, you know the type that cowboys ride?
And guess what? Hubby had a try at it too. It's free btw.
This is a video Min took of him but too bad only captured the front part before it was out of memory.
But hubby lasted 32 seconds before he was thrown off the horse - which was the longest among the non-professionals. Not bad, huh?
Then we walked over the other side which was the Bazaar. There were mostly handicrafts for sale. There was one stall which was selling train sets and Shern was hooked on it. I practically had to pull him away from the stall.
We then went home. Shern was reluctant to leave. He wanted more.
It was really a fun morning. We all had fun there.
we brought caris there too. she was all excited for horse (must be thinking it's the queensbay merry go round horse) but she got so scared seeing the real ones. | {

On a hot April day in 2014, a fervent crowd of thousands surged through the streets of Varanasi to catch a glimpse of one man: Narendra Modi, the son of a Gujarati tea seller who had risen to become the charismatic leader of India's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). For the imminent general election in the world's largest democracy, Modi had effectively abandoned his native Gujarat (where the BJP was already secure) and stood for parliament in Varanasi, also known in English as Benares. He had two reasons.
First, Varanasi lies in the middle of Uttar Pradesh (UP), India's largest state, whose population of more than 200 million is comparable to that of Brazil. Second, Varanasi with its 5,000-year heritage on the holy Ganges is the cultural heart of India and of Hinduism and, it is said, the world's oldest living city.
However, by late 2016 – more than two years after that suggestion of a divine mission to save the Ganges – it was still not clear whether Modi would be able to fulfil his ambitious promises.
Disillusioned residents of Varanasi, referring to Modi's televised launch of a plan to clean tonnes of mud off the city's famous Assi Ghat, criticised the lack of progress on the more important problem of sewage and resorted to a common lament: that such cosmetic projects were like "putting lipstick on a woman with a dirty sari". It even seemed possible that Modi would – like other famous politicians before him, including the Congress prime minister Rajiv Gandhi – leave the river in a pitiable state.
But Prakash Javadekar, his environment minister, claimed that industrial pollution of the Ganges had been cut by a third in two years. Of the 764 'grossly polluting industries' on the river, 544 installed a so-called OCEM – an online continuous effluent monitoring system – and 150, including 68 tanneries, had been ordered to close for failing to install one. "We started monitoring each one of them," said Javadekar. A brochure from his ministry said that nationwide 2,400 such systems had been installed to monitor air and water pollution, and if pollution norms for any parameter were exceeded continuously for more than 15 minutes, then a text message was generated and sent to all concerned, including regulators.
These official declarations were greeted with a mixture of despair and incredulity by scientists, environmentalists and factory owners. At the tanneries in Kanpur, for example, they pointed out that in almost all cases the effluent monitoring devices did no more than measure the quantity of liquid and made no measurement of chromium or any other pollutant.
Jaiswal went on, describing his experiences in Kanpur: "PM Modi has rekindled the hope. He's allocated 20,000 crore rupees (US$3 billion) towards the Ganga cleaning and keeps talking about Ganga cleaning but nothing is visible on the ground." According to Jaiswal, there has been no material change in the flow of sewage or industrial effluent and no efforts have been made to augment the flow of the river.
Nor is it clear that public concern about the river or the strength of Hindu religious devotion towards it will be sufficient to propel Modi's Ganges projects towards greater success than those of previous governments.
Successive Indian governments have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on projects to clean the Ganges since the 1980s, but most of the money was diverted by corrupt officials or simply wasted. Yet cleaning the Ganges is far more important to India – religiously, economically, and socially – than the restorations of the Rhine or the Thames were to Germany, the Netherlands, or England. For Sanskrit scholar Diana Eck, we are watching a cultural and theological crisis as well as an environmental one.
She said there is arguably nowhere in the world that should have a higher standard of river quality than India, "for there is no other culture in which rivers have such a central role in the daily ritual lives of countless millions". Indians bathe in river water, drink it, and make offerings of it to the departed, yet the "rivers that are said to have descended to earth as sources of salvation are now, in their earthly form, in need of salvation themselves".
Cleaning the Ganges will take large amounts of money, untapped reserves of political will and a national effort to succeed. | {

§ Index
HTTP/1.1 defines the Content-Disposition response header field in Section 19.5.1 of [RFC2616] (Fielding, R., Gettys, J., Mogul, J., Frystyk, H., Masinter, L., Leach, P., and T. Berners-Lee, "Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1," June 1999.), but points out that it is not part of the HTTP/1.1 Standard (Section 15.5):
Content-Disposition is not part of the HTTP standard, but since it is widely implemented, we are documenting its use and risks for implementors.
This specification takes over the definition and registration of Content-Disposition, as used in HTTP. Based on interoperability testing with existing User Agents, it fully defines a profile of the features defined in the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) variant ([RFC2183] (Troost, R., Dorner, S., and K. Moore, "Communicating Presentation Information in Internet Messages: The Content-Disposition Header Field," August 1997.)) of the header field, and also clarifies internationalization aspects.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119] (Bradner, S., "Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels," March 1997.).
This specification uses the augmented BNF notation defined in Section 2.1 of [RFC2616] (Fielding, R., Gettys, J., Mogul, J., Frystyk, H., Masinter, L., Leach, P., and T. Berners-Lee, "Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1," June 1999.), including its rules for linear whitespace (LWS).
The Content-Disposition response header field is used to convey additional information about how to process the response payload, and also can be used to attach additional metadata, such as the filename.
content-disposition = "Content-Disposition" ":"
disposition-type *( ";" disposition-parm )
disposition-type = "inline" | "attachment" | disp-ext-type
; case-insensitive
disp-ext-type = token
disposition-parm = filename-parm | disp-ext-parm
filename-parm = "filename" "=" value
| "filename*" "=" ext-value
disp-ext-parm = token "=" value
| ext-token "=" ext-value
ext-token = <the characters in token, followed by "*">

token = <token, defined in [RFC2616], Section 2.2>
value = <value, defined in [RFC2616], Section 3.6>
Defined in [RFC5987] (Reschke, J., "Applicability of RFC 2231 Encoding to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Headers," August 2010.):
ext-value = <ext-value, defined in [RFC5987], Section 3.2>
If the disposition type matches "attachment" (case-insensitively), this indicates that the user agent should not display the response, but directly enter a "save as..." dialog.
On the other hand, if it matches "inline" (case-insensitively), this implies default processing.
Other disposition types SHOULD be handled the same way as "attachment" (see also [RFC2183] (Troost, R., Dorner, S., and K. Moore, "Communicating Presentation Information in Internet Messages: The Content-Disposition Header Field," August 1997.), Section 2.8).
The parameters "filename" and "filename*", to be matched case-insensitively, provide information on how to construct a filename for storing the message payload.
Depending on the disposition type, this information might be used right away (in the "save as..." interaction caused for the "attachment" disposition type), or later on (for instance, when the user decides to save the contents of the current page being displayed).
"filename" and "filename*" behave the same, except that "filename*" uses the encoding defined in [RFC5987] (Reschke, J., "Applicability of RFC 2231 Encoding to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Headers," August 2010.), allowing the use of characters not present in the ISO-8859-1 character set ([ISO‑8859‑1] (International Organization for Standardization, "Information technology -- 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets -- Part 1: Latin alphabet No. 1," 1998.)). When both "filename" and "filename*" are present, a recipient SHOULD pick "filename*" and ignore "filename" - this will make it possible to send the same header value to clients that do not support "filename*".
It is essential that user agents treat the specified filename as advisory only, thus be very careful in extracting the desired information. In particular:
When the value contains path separator characters, all but the last segment SHOULD be ignored. This prevents unintentional overwriting of well-known file system location (such as "/etc/passwd").
Many platforms do not use Internet Media Types ([RFC2046] (Freed, N. and N. Borenstein, "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Part Two: Media Types," November 1996.)) to hold type information in the file system, but rely on filename extensions instead. Trusting the server-provided file extension could introduce a privilege escalation when later on the file is opened locally (consider ".exe"). Thus, recipients need to ensure that a file extension is used that is safe, optimally matching the media type of the received payload.
Other aspects recipients need to be aware of are names that have a special meaning in the filesystem or in shell commands, such as "." and "..", "~", "|", and also device names.
To enable future extensions, unknown parameters SHOULD be ignored (see also [RFC2183] (Troost, R., Dorner, S., and K. Moore, "Communicating Presentation Information in Internet Messages: The Content-Disposition Header Field," August 1997.), Section 2.8).
Note that Section 9 of [RFC2183] (Troost, R., Dorner, S., and K. Moore, "Communicating Presentation Information in Internet Messages: The Content-Disposition Header Field," August 1997.) defines IANA registries both for disposition types and disposition parameters. This registry is shared by different protocols using Content-Disposition, such as MIME and HTTP. Therefore, not all registered values may make sense in the context of HTTP.
Direct UA to show "save as" dialog, with a filename of "foo.html":
Content-Disposition: Attachment; filename=foo.html
Direct UA to behave as if the Content-Disposition header field wasn't present, but to remember the filename "foo.html" for a subsequent save operation:
Content-Disposition: INLINE; FILENAME= "foo.html"
Direct UA to show "save as" dialog, with a filename of "an example":
Content-Disposition: Attachment; Filename*=UTF-8'en'an%20example
Note that this example uses the extended encoding defined in [RFC5987] (Reschke, J., "Applicability of RFC 2231 Encoding to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Headers," August 2010.) to specify that the natural language of the filename is English, and also to encode the space character which is not allowed in the token production.
Direct UA to show "save as" dialog, with a filename containing the Unicode character U+20AC (EURO SIGN):
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename*= UTF-8''%e2%82%ac%20rates
Here, the encoding defined in [RFC5987] (Reschke, J., "Applicability of RFC 2231 Encoding to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Headers," August 2010.) is also used to encode the non-ISO-8859-1 character.
Same as above, but adding the "filename" parameter for compatibility with user agents not implementing RFC 5987:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="EURO rates";
filename*=utf-8''%e2%82%ac%20rates
Note: as of August 2010, many user agents unfortunately did not properly handle unexpected parameters, and some that implement RFC 5987 did not pick the extended parameter when both were present.
The "filename*" parameter (Section 3.3 (Disposition Parameter: 'Filename')), using the encoding defined in [RFC5987] (Reschke, J., "Applicability of RFC 2231 Encoding to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Headers," August 2010.), allows the server to transmit characters outside the ISO-8859-1 character set, and also to optionally specify the language in use.
Future parameters might also require internationalization, in which case the same encoding can be used.
Using server-supplied information for constructing local filenames introduces many risks. These are summarized in Section 3.3 (Disposition Parameter: 'Filename').
Furthermore, implementers also ought to be aware of the Security Considerations applying to HTTP (see Section 15 of [RFC2616] (Fielding, R., Gettys, J., Mogul, J., Frystyk, H., Masinter, L., Leach, P., and T. Berners-Lee, "Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1," June 1999.)), and also the parameter encoding defined in [RFC5987] (Reschke, J., "Applicability of RFC 2231 Encoding to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Headers," August 2010.) (see Section 5).
This specification does not introduce any changes to the registration procedures for disposition values and parameters that are defined in Section 9 of [RFC2183] (Troost, R., Dorner, S., and K. Moore, "Communicating Presentation Information in Internet Messages: The Content-Disposition Header Field," August 1997.).
This document updates the definition of the Content-Disposition HTTP header field in the permanent HTTP header field registry (see [RFC3864] (Klyne, G., Nottingham, M., and J. Mogul, "Registration Procedures for Message Header Fields," September 2004.)).

Compared to Section 19.5.1 of [RFC2616] (Fielding, R., Gettys, J., Mogul, J., Frystyk, H., Masinter, L., Leach, P., and T. Berners-Lee, "Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1," June 1999.), the following normative changes reflecting actual implementations have been made:
According to RFC 2616, the disposition type "attachment" only applies to content of type "application/octet-stream". This restriction has been removed, because user agents in practice do not check the content type, and it also discourages properly declaring the media type.
RFC 2616 only allows "quoted-string" for the filename parameter. This would be an exceptional parameter syntax, and also doesn't reflect actual use.
The definition for the disposition type "inline" ([RFC2183] (Troost, R., Dorner, S., and K. Moore, "Communicating Presentation Information in Internet Messages: The Content-Disposition Header Field," August 1997.), Section 2.1) has been re-added with a suggestion for its processing.
This specification requires support for the extended parameter encoding defined in [RFC5987] (Reschke, J., "Applicability of RFC 2231 Encoding to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Headers," August 2010.).
Section 2 of [RFC2183] (Troost, R., Dorner, S., and K. Moore, "Communicating Presentation Information in Internet Messages: The Content-Disposition Header Field," August 1997.) defines several additional disposition parameters: "creation-date", "modification-date", "quoted-date-time", and "size". These do not appear to be implemented by any user agent, thus have been omitted from this specification.
By default, HTTP header field parameters cannot carry characters outside the ISO-8859-1 ([ISO‑8859‑1] (International Organization for Standardization, "Information technology -- 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets -- Part 1: Latin alphabet No. 1," 1998.)) character encoding (see [RFC2616] (Fielding, R., Gettys, J., Mogul, J., Frystyk, H., Masinter, L., Leach, P., and T. Berners-Lee, "Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1," June 1999.), Section 2.2). For the "filename" parameter, this of course is an unacceptable restriction.
Unfortunately, user agent implementers have not managed to come up with an interoperable approach, although the IETF Standards Track specifies exactly one solution ([RFC2231] (Freed, N. and K. Moore, "MIME Parameter Value and Encoded Word Extensions: Character Sets, Languages, and Continuations," November 1997.), clarified and profiled for HTTP in [RFC5987] (Reschke, J., "Applicability of RFC 2231 Encoding to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Headers," August 2010.)).
For completeness, the sections below describe the various approaches that have been tried, and explains how they are inferior to the RFC 5987 encoding used in this specification.
RFC 2047 defines an encoding mechanism for header fields, but this encoding is not supposed to be used for header field parameters - see Section 5 of [RFC2047] (Moore, K., "MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) Part Three: Message Header Extensions for Non-ASCII Text," November 1996.):
An 'encoded-word' MUST NOT appear within a 'quoted-string'.
An 'encoded-word' MUST NOT be used in parameter of a MIME Content-Type or Content-Disposition field, or in any structured field body except within a 'comment' or 'phrase'.
In practice, some user agents implement the encoding, some do not (exposing the encoded string to the user), and some get confused by it.
Some user agents accept percent encoded ([RFC3986] (Berners-Lee, T., Fielding, R., and L. Masinter, "Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax," January 2005.), Section 2.1) sequences of characters encoded using the UTF-8 ([RFC3629] (Yergeau, F., "UTF-8, a transformation format of ISO 10646," November 2003.)) character encoding.
In practice, this is hard to use because those user agents that do not support it will display the escaped character sequence to the user.
Furthermore, the first user agent to implement this did choose the encoding based on local settings; thus making it very hard to use in multi-lingual environments.
Some user agents inspect the value (which defaults to ISO-8859-1) and switch to UTF-8 when it seems to be more likely to be the correct interpretation.
As with the approaches above, this is not interoperable and furthermore risks misinterpreting the actual value.
Unfortunately, as of August 2010, neither the encoding defined in RFCs 2231 and 5789, nor any of the alternate approaches discussed above was implemented interoperably. Thus, this specification recommends the approach defined in RFC 5987, which at least has the advantage of actually being specified properly.
The table below shows the implementation support for the various approaches: [impls] (Discuss: should we mention the implementation status of actual UAs in a RFC? Up to the IESG to decide...)
RFC 2231/5987
Percent Encoding
Encoding Sniffing
Chrome no yes yes yes
Firefox yes (*) yes no yes
Internet Explorer no no yes no
Konqueror yes no no no
Opera yes (*) no no no
Safari no no no yes
(*) Does not implement the fallback behavior to "filename" described in Section 3.3 (Disposition Parameter: 'Filename').
Adjust terminology ("header" -> "header field"). Update rfc2231-in-http reference.
Update rfc2231-in-http reference. Actually define the "filename" parameter. Add internationalization considerations. Add examples using the RFC 5987 encoding. Add overview over other approaches, plus a table reporting implementation status. Add and resolve issue "nodep2183". Add issues "asciivsiso", "deplboth", "quoted", and "registry".
Add and close issue "docfallback". Close issues "asciivsiso", "deplboth", "quoted", and "registry".
Issues that were either rejected or resolved in this version of this document.
In Section 3.1:
Type: change
[email protected] (2010-08-23): Can value be quoted-pair as well? It is "value" only in RFC 2183, but "quoted-string" only in 2616. UAs seem to handle quoted-strings, although some have trouble unescaping backslashes.
[email protected] (2010-08-24): Actually, "value" is "token" or "quoted-string", both in RFC 2616 and RFC 2183 (by reference to RFC 2045). The only problem is that RFC 2616 uses quoted-string instead of value in the definition for the filename parameter. This is a bug in 2616.
Resolution (2010-08-24): Note the change in "Changes from the RFC 2616 Definition".
[email protected] (2010-08-24): We should be consistent about what RFC 2616 defaults to (ASCII vs ISO-8859-1).
Resolution (2010-08-30): Say "ISO-8859-1", and also make the ISO-8859-1 ref normative.
In Section 4:
[email protected] (2010-08-24): Add an example that uses both "filename" and "filename*" and mention current UA behavior.
Resolution (2010-08-27): Add the example, and mention the issues with it.
[email protected] (2010-08-23): The registry technically is for the MIME header, but has been used for C-D in other protocols already. What's missing are instructions that new registrations should state which protocol they're for. Do we want to attempt to modify the registry?
Resolution (2010-08-30): Add a section about extensibility explaining the existing registries.
In Section C.4:
Type: edit
[email protected] (2010-08-30): Describe the implementation quality of the fallback behavior.
Resolution (2010-08-30): Done.
[email protected] (2009-10-16): Umbrella issue for editorial fixes/enhancements.

'Real O'Neals' Star Noah Galvin Slams Colton Haynes' Coming Out: It's F–king Bulls–t
By Stephanie Webber
UPDATE: Galvin took to Twitter several hours after his curse-filled New York magazine Vulture interview was published to apologize for making "brazen and hurtful" comments.
"The entire interview I gave to Vulture has hurt the LGBTQ community and the industry I feel truly fortunate to be a part of," he wrote. "My only intention was to try and empower and promote honesty, but I fully understand that comments I made were brazen and hurtful To Colton Haynes and to the LGBTQ youth, especially those who have embraced our show, I have no right to dictate how or when anybody comes out of the closet; I know how difficult and scary the process of coming out can be, and the last thing I would ever want to do is make it scarier. For anyone."
ORIGINAL STORY: The latest celebrity feud is well underway. The Real O'Neals star Noah Galvin brutally slammed fellow gay actor Colton Haynes in a curse-filled chat with Vulture while discussing being a gay actor today in Hollywood.
PHOTOS: Gay Celebrities' Coming Out Stories
The ABC star, 22, lashed out after the publication asked him about the Arrow actor. Last month, Haynes, 27, talked about coming out during an interview with Entertainment Weekly — but didn't actually say he was gay.

"That's not coming out. That's f–king p—y bulls–t. That's like, 'Enough people assume that I sleep with men, so I'm just going to slightly confirm the fact that I've sucked a d–k or two,'" Galvin told Vulture. "That's not doing anything for the little gays but giving them more masturbation material."

Galvin revealed his sexuality to his mom in his early teens, but waited until a little later to tell others. "I had made the decision for myself that I was gay. I knew I was gay. I had settled the fact, but wasn't sharing it with anybody at the time," he said.

Galvin, who plays a gay character on The Real O'Neals, is currently dating around. (The actor claimed that he once lost out on playing a straight character because a producer said he was "too gay" for the part.)
"I'm seeing two people right now. I'm seeing a 24-year-old and I'm seeing a … I think he's, like, 38. But it's nice. I'm dating for the first time ever … I'm slightly capitalizing on the fact that I'm on a TV show, to a certain extent," he explained. "Using my slight fame to be with sexier people than I normally could be if I wasn't on a TV show."
Dating has its downsides, though. "My dating life is already pretty s–tty because I look like a 12-year-old," he said. "Gay boys my age are either club kids or they're in college and they haven't come out yet and they're still DL on [the dating app] Grindr."
PHOTOS: Celebrity Feuds: The Biggest Ever!
Galvin's candid interview didn't end there. The actor, who doesn't want to be a "f–king soothsayer" for the gay community, claimed that Bryan Singer invites younger boys to his home. In 2014, the X-Men director was accused of sexually abusing underage boys. The accuser later dropped the lawsuit.
"Bryan Singer likes to invite little boys over to his pool and diddle them in the f–king dark of night. I want nothing to do with that. I think there are enough boys in L.A. that are questionably homosexual who are willing to do things with the right person who can get them in the door," Galvin told Vulture. "In New York there is a healthy gay community, and that doesn't exist in L.A." | {

You are here: Home / Categories / 13 great books to make you laugh or cry.
If you're like me, you love reading but never get enough time to read very much! So if you're stuck for some last minute Christmas gift ideas or need a Christmas Santa idea for yourself, I thought it would be a good idea to put together a list of 13 great books to make you laugh or cry – books that have kept me up at night. I have to admit to a travel theme which runs through most of them, although there are a couple of surprises which I hope you'll like too.
A story about the disintegration of a family set within the collapse of a country. Peter Godwin returns to Zimbabwe from America when he hears that his father is dying. What he finds is a country teetering on violent chaos, destruction and famine – but a country which his English parents refuse to leave. Like all good books, this memoir involves a secret, a fifty year old family secret and an omen – for 'when a crocodile eats the sun' is how the Shona people of Zimbabwe describe a solar elipse – the celestial crocdile consumes the life giving star as a warning that he is displeased with man below. Peter Godwin's writing is astute, informational and moving. This memoir follows on from A White Boy in Africa, but can be read as a standalone. Verdict Loved it. There's not a shred of self pity and it's full of humour and wisdom.

After living in and travelling around Namibia for two years in 1986 this fascinating, true tale came as a revelation to me. It's all about the power of survival in a harsh but beautiful environment. During World War II two German geologists, Henno Martin and Hermann Korn were threatened with internment. They fled into the Namib Desert where they, "Sought the shelter of the desert in order to escape the madness of the Second World War." In this harshest of places they, along with the dog Otto, eked out an existence for 2.5 years, independent of human society living like primitive hunters, governed only by the laws of the wilderness and their own limitations. Verdict Inspirational.
OK so you've seen the movie? Haven't you? The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel? Now it's time to read the book which is a comedy of manners about how different cultures cope outside their comfort zone – in this case in a ramshackle guesthouse in Bangalore. Funny and full of colour it's also an insightful view of old age and what it has in store. Verdict Couldn't put it down.
Extraordinary, astonishing testament to the power of the human spirit. How Joe Simpson survived against the odds is told in one of the classics of mountaineering. Not only is it a hear stopping adventure it also touches on great life questions that really make you think. It's all true, about the spirit of a man and the life force that drives us all. There's a movie too – gruelling but you won't be able to peal your eyes off the screen. Verdict Harrowing. I was repulsed and amazed.
I defy any mother not to fall to pieces while reading this fast paced memoir. It's haunting, poetic and incredibly moving, capturing the magic of Kenya with all its perceived wealth, its beautiful landscapes, its isolation and drama, and mixing it all up with human tragedy so intense that it stops you in your tracks. I'd give the story away if I tell you too much here. If you've ever been to Africa, or you're a Mum – just read it. Verdict One box of tissues is not enough.
We moved to Kathmandu, Nepal when our son was five weeks old. As a severely sleep deprived, breast feeding mother, this book had to be gripping to keep my attention – and gripping it was. Heinrich Harrer, a mountaineer escaped from an internment camp in 1943 at Dehra Dun and headed for Tibet. He was a fugitive with no status and no papers travelling on foot with his companion Aufschnaiter. They arrived in Lhasa penniless and in rags, but were met not with hostility but with kindness, and Harrer became tutor and confidant to the young Dalai Lama. Life in Lhasa and the Chinese invasion are all covered in a memoir that gives a glimpse of another and at that time, relatively unknown world. Verdict For anyone interested in Tibet and the Dalai Lama, this book gives a fascinating glimpse into a once forbidden country.
Okay, so I love Peter Godwin's writing and tales of Africa. The life white people used to live in colonial Africa has vanished now, but growing up in Rhodesia in the 1960s, Peter Godwin inhabited a magical and frightening world of leopard-hunting, lepers, witch doctors, snakes and forest fires.
A classic, easy to read book that takes you to the heart of a different and vanished way of life. The writing is both adventure memoir and poignant moral dilemma.
For me there's nothing like a well written memoir, and if it involves either Asia or Africa, then I'm probably going to buy it. Alexandra Fuller writes about her African Childhood in Zimbabwe, Malawi and Zambia with great wit and insight, relating her experiences of living through a civil war at an extraordinary time with an eccentric family that displayed an unbreakable loyalty to their family farms and Africa despite violence and uncertainty. Verdict After living for many years in Africa I both laughed and empathised with Ms Fuller's memoir, because Africa gets deep into your veins.
It's a classic, it's sensitive and it's readable. Back in 1934 and a young man walked from the security of his home in the English Cotswolds to London, and from there on to Spain, tramping through a violent country on the brink of civil war. The book is lyrical and all encompassing, capturing the atmosphere of Spain in an undiluted way.
Hygge is all the rage as a lifestyle trend, and I'm always banging on about living more simply on Lifestyle Fifty, so this little book spoke to my heart. Denmark is often said to be the happiest country in the world and that's down to Hygge, which has been translated as everything from the art of creating intimacy to cosiness of the soul to taking pleasure from the present of soothing things. You know hygge when you feel it. It's like being cuddled up on a sofa drinking hot chocolate with a loved one, or the bright blue of a summer sky.
Lifestylers, do you have a book that's on your Christmas wish list or a great book to recommend?

I haven't read any of these but always looking for new titles to read. I'm currently reading 'Nest' by Queensland author Inga Simpson. Evocative and just waiting for the twist that I think is coming!
FAAAAAAABULOUS!! My Xmas gift dreams come true 😀 They all sound good – and weirdly, I haven't read ANY of them yet!! Hope Santa's reading this, haha!!
Apart from text books for my business studies, I only read two books last year. I'm determined to make more time for reading next year. I might need to start with your list!
Hi Raych, I get you on the time thing. For me there has to be quiet space for reading books that aren't associated with blogging or online entrepreneurship. Somehow have to make a plan to make that time available.
Looks like I've got a few books to add to my must-read reading list. My latest favourite book was one from our local library – A Lady Cyclist's Guide to Kashgar – by Suzanne Joinson – a mixture of a diary from the past and a modern day young woman. Fabulous writing and a great read. I really enjoyed it. Last year I did a reading challenge – 13 books on various topics. It was a great way to direct my reading. One of my favourite past-times on the summer school holidays when I was a kid was laying on the passage floor reading. It was the coolest spot in the house. Happy holiday reading!
Hi Jill, oh that's a book for my list. Sounds great. 13 books on various topics would be a good way to direct and expand your reading – I need to do something like that. It's all too easy to get sidetracked by the internet these days.
'The Light Between Oceans' was one of those books for me too, will re read this summer.
Thanks for a varied and interesting list. Many you have featured are in genres I don't usually explore but I am now inspired.
Can't say I've read any of these!! Haven't even heard of half of them. I am now clued in. Thanks!
Haha Min! I know exactly what you mean. I did practically the same. During our cruise, a rather long one, I read just one book!
I'm looking forward to reading that book Jean. One box of tissues or two?
You've talked about that book before Janet – I think I'm going to have to check it out! And fair enough, reading tastes are often very different.
Oh I'm loving book round up posts! I'm putting together a list of books to read/borrow over my break so I'm getting great ideas.
Hi Vanessa, glad you're getting some good ideas. Enjoy your Christmas break and happy reading!
Some great reads here Jo and just in time for the holiday season. I love discovering new authors and there are quite a few here that I haven't heard of. Thanks!
That Hygge is everywhere at the moment….I've just started The Dry….
Fantastic Jo! I am in need of some holiday reading matter. I can see a real African theme going on in these books. Is there a reason for this? I saw the movie "Light Between The Oceans" with a friend recently and it was a real tear jerker. The movie was filmed in Stanley, Tasmania so I was interested to see it in the movie set back in the early 1900s. Thanks I will definitely try to read some of these over Christmas when I'm not blogging!
Happy reading when you're not blogging this Christmas Kathy! Yep, a definite African theme, probably because we lived there for quite a few years. I'm tossing up whether to watch Light Between Oceans first or read the book, which I think I should really. I suspected it would be a tear jerker just from the movie trailer! | {

Ільо Воєвода () — видатний болгарський гайдук, воєвода, борець за звільнення від османів Болгарії і Македонії, національний герой цих країн. Нерідко його називають «останнім гайдуком», «останнім воєводою».
Життєпис
Народився у селі Берово (Малешевско) 28 травня 1805 року в сім'ї незаможних селян. Ім'я при народженні Ілія Марков Попгеоргієв (). Ілія не мав змоги навчатися через бідність, але з дитинства був кмітливим і сміливим хлопцем, який вирізнявся серед однолітків непокорою до існуючого ладу. Дуже рано він приєднався до революційної діяльності. Його дядько, піп Георги, воєвода гайдуцького загону (чети) загинув у бою з башибузуками. Це теж справило враження на юнака і спонукало його до боротьби з османами. До 20 років Ілія жив у своєму селі, але через його непокору місцевому османському чиновнику, що чіплявся до його сестер, змушений був поїхати до Рильського монастиря, де він мав багато зустрічей і бесід з місцевими релігійними діячами, які здійснювали просвітницьку діяльність у Болгарії. Ілію призначили охоронцем-зберігачем болгарських православних святинь (). Він прослужив пандурином аж 18 років, вівши військову боротьбу з різними розбійними зграями, від яких успішно боронив церковні реліквії Тоді ж він часто спілкувався й з гайдуками, які мали притулок у монастирі, ховались там при пораненнях.
Гайдуцька діяльність
Перші роки боротьби
У 1838 році Ілія повернувся до рідного села, женився. Але в нього виник конфлікт з місцевим начальником польової варти (), який з засідки вбив брата Ілії Станко. Тоді Ілія заколов османа ножем, і уникнувши засідки, яка на нього чатувала, з невеликою четою відбув у гори. Його вибрали воєводою і тоді він почав іменуватися Ільо воєводою. Він декілька років воював проти османів, прапороносцем в його четі була його сестра Марія. Чета збільшилась до 70 гайдуків, а під час Кримської війни навіть до 200. З появою російської армії на Дунаї Ільо воєвода почав організувати населення для широкого руху боротьби з османами і створив мережу помічників, прихильників і послідовників. Він появлявся там, де місцеве населення було залякане османами і башибузуками, і практично завжди наносив останнім поразку. Був визнаним майстром організації оригінальних засідок на ворога. Один з місцевих чиновників Кюстендила доповідав центральній владі, що «грабіжник-гяур є невразливим і куля його не бере». Коли цей чиновник кинув жінку Ільо до в'язниці, Войвода просто погрозив тому смертю. Злякавшись, чиновник був змушений звільнити жінку. У 1854 році Ільо отримав інформацію, що османи замислили серйозну каральну акцію проти болгарського населення у місті Дупниця. Ільо попередив у своєму посланні владу, що якщо проти болгарського населення буде застосовано силу, то він зрівняє с землею турецькі поселення. Османи відмінили свою операцію.
Центральна влада спробувала застосувати хитрість. Ільо був прощений і отримав султанський указ про це. Йому було дозволено оселитися у Кюстендилі з жінкою, навіть зберегти особисту зброю. Але хитрість була в тому, що влада готувала його вбивство руками місцевих турків — начебто через їхнє обурення. Ільо про це вчасно дізнався, вбив разом з друзями-гайдуками заколотників і поновив збройню боротьбу, відійшовши з новоствореною четою у гори. У 1859 році османи сплюндрували домівку Ільо в Кюстендилі, а його жінку Цону з трьома дітьми кинули до своєрідної в'язниці у місті. У той же час османи повісили захоплених у боях декількох четників, сподвижників Ільо. Серйозна атаки на чету Ільо Войводи змусили його все більше і більше ховатися у найнедоступніших гірських районах, зменшивши через це беспосереднью військову діяльність.
Діяльність у Сербії
У 1860 році Ільо вдалося перекинути частину його чети до Сербії, а в 1861 році він почав службу в Першій болгарській легії під началом ідеолога національно-визвольного руху Георги Раковски. Йому було поставлене завдання об'єднати розрізнені болгарські чети і окремих гайдуків у загони, які б володіли навичками партизанської боротьби.
«Як нас болгар, так і сербів дядо Ільо зачаровував своїм героїчним виглядом, своєю відвертістю й доброзичливістю, які ґрунтівалися на твердій волі і сильному характері. Хоча в Сербії його оточувало "неправильне суспільство", але він зберіг свої нрави й звички. Як його юність, так і його мораль були просто неповторні. В тому відношенні він був просто чудовим і робив честь нашому народу. При цьому він любив проповідувати серед болгар в Сербії патріотизм і ненависть до турків. А на свята і канікули вчив болгарських учнів стріляти, для чого купив їм рушниці і часто водив на полювання…» Петар Берковски (), болгарський революціонер, соратник Васила Левски.
Йому вдалося продемонструвати військовий вишкіл болгарських повстанців, коли 2 червня 1862 року під його керуванням четницький батальйон у складі легії вдало штурмував османську фортецю Кале, проявив героїзм. Недаремно саме його батальйону було довірене нести прапор легії. Саме в цій битві він здобув широке визнання як серед болгар, так й сербів. Через свій поважний вік він отримав нове прізвисько Дядо Ільо. У 1876 році у віці 70 років разом з воєводами Панайотом Хитовим, Филипом Тотю та іншими дядо Ільо зібрав і організував чети. Під час сербсько-турецької війни влітку 1876 року Ільо Войвода з своєю четою у 300 душ, де були і його сини Никола й Іван, разом з іншими четами перейшов кордон Сербії і почав бойові дії на території османів в районах Кула, Белоградчик й Берковиця. Хоча він був тяжко поранений в подальших боях, але оклигав і знову став до лав чети. Через те, що сербська армія чинили спротив боротьбі болгар, через те, що поранення відбулося від кулі сербського офіцера, Ільо був дуже невдоволений. Він сказав:«В містах хизуєтесь і брязкаєте своїми шаблями, а на полі бою біжите від турків…». Сербський князь Міхаїл Обренович поспішив нагородити його орденом за хоробрість «Татковски» і призначив йому пенсію у 150 динарів. Внаслідок поранення Ільо лишився двох ребер і його права рука була скалічена.
Під час звільнення Болгарії від османів
Російсько-турецька війна 1877-78 років почалася тоді, коли Ільо ще перебував у лікарні. Він отримав запрошення від російської армії. Незважаючи на наслідки ран, Ільо кинув лікарню і поїхав у Свіштов, де йому надали чин капітана і пропонують зібрати чету, до якої долучилось багато знаних гайдуків. Він водив чету разом з іншими гайдуцьким загонами в тил османській армії, де проводив розвідувальну діяльність, своїми нападами без кінця турбував османів. Через певний час його чету ввели до Західного загону генерала Йосипа Гурко. Йому було поставлене завдання перейти разом з російськими військами Стару Планину, взяти Софію і вийти в тил османським військам, що штурмували Шипкинський перевал. Це було тяжко, адже боротися приходилось не тільки з османами й башибузуками, але й з тяжкими умовами пересування військ гірською місцевістю, морозом. Чета Ільо Войводи діяла настільки кмітливо й хоробро, що Гурко нагородив воєводу орденом за хоробрість «Святим Георгієм» і оголосив йому подяку. Після взяття Софії Гурко віддав усі болгарські чети під командування Ільо Войводи. 27 грудня 1877 року чети звільнили місто Радомир, а 2 січня 1878 року — Дупницю.
Завдяки успішним хитрим діям Ільо воєводи його четники разом лише з одним ескадроном російських військ 11 січня 2014 року звільнили Кюстендил, хоча російська влада вже почала глобальні перемови з османами, і бойові дії на території Болгарії були припинені. Хоча місто на короткий час довелось залишити, через підхід до нього сильних османських резервів, однак 17 січня Ільо з четою і більшим російським загоном повторно звільнили Кюстендил. Четники почали роззброювати турецьке населення. В кінці січня воєвода звільнив й рідне село Берово. Почалось встановлення болгарської влади, яке було припинено 22 березня 1878 року, коли Ільо воєводу було викликано до ставки верховного головнокомандувача російської армії. Там воєвода дізнався, що згідно підписаного між Російською та Османською імперіями Сан-Стефанському договору його рідне село залишається під османською владою. Російське командування нагородило Ільо черговим орденом за хоробрість. Воєвода нічого не зміг зробити, аби звільнити рідне село, адже росіяни не дали б йому порушити угоду з османами. Через це Ільо з сім'єю відбув до Кюстендила, де схотів жити надалі, беручи безпосередню участь у розбудові міста.
Життя Ільо Войводи після звільнення Болгарії
Великі частини Сербії, Македонії і Болгарії залишились під владою османів. Ільо з цим не зміг зміритися. Він, незважаючи на свій вік, вступив до організації «Єдність», яка мала за мету повне звільнення болгар від іга. 5 жовтня 1878 року у Південно-Західній Болгарії спалахнуло Кресненсько-Разложське повстання проти османської влади. Ільо воєвода брав діяльну участь у бойових діях з своєю четою на правому березі річки Струма, адже прекрасно знав всі навколишні місця, де багато часу пересувався за часів свого гайдуцтва. Йому навіть вдалося одного разу захопити у османів артилерію. Однак повстання успіху не мало. Більшість чет були розформовані. Ільо повернувся до Кюстендилу без засобів до існування, через що був змушений просити про пенсію. Болгарська влада після настійливих запитів молодого депутата Народного зібрання Стефана Стамболова призначила Ільо пенсію у 220 левів.
У 1885 році спалахнула Сербсько-болгарська війна, у якій Болгарія залишилася практично сама, адже Російська імперія стала на бік Сербії і відкликала практично всіх своїх офіцерів з болгарської армії. В результаті у болгарській армії не було жодного офіцера старше від капітана. Російський імператор Олександр III вважав, що поки на престолі Болгарського князівства є принц з Батенбергів, його країна не буде допомагати Болгарії. Навіть відбувалися певні дії стосовно інформаційної підтримки сербів, створення уяви про невідворотність перемоги сербської армії. Треба відзначити, що сербський король Мілан IV ввів в оману своїх солдатів у королівському зверненні до армії. В ньому він наголошував, що сербські солдати йдуть на допомогу болгарам у війні проти османів. Згодом сербські солдати були здивовані: вони воювали з болгарами, замість того, щоб атакувати османів. Болгари ж мали проблему: як відправити війська до кордонів з Сербією, при цьому не оголивши кордони з Османською імперією, яка б потенційно могла б вторгнутися на територію Болгарії. У цей непростий момент болгарської історії Ільо, вік якого вже перевалив за 80, добровольцем прийшов на війну. Зі своєю четою він славно воював у складі Радомирського загону під керуванням відомого македонського революціонера Димитира Беровски. Багато болгарських офіцерів і простих вояків приходили до Ільо воєводи, аби потиснути йому руку і просто помилуватися старим незламним гайдуком. Через участь Ільо у війні сербська влада зняла з нього ту пенсію, що була запроваджена ще сербським князем Міхаїлом Обреновичем.
У 1890-х роках, коли розпочався широкий четницький рух у Македонії, Ільо надавав влучні поради четникам, які перебували у Кюстендилі перед перекиданням до місць боїв. Він брав активну участь у створенні четницького інституту ВМОРО. Незвичайна хоробрість Ільо була оспівана у багатьох народних піснях й легендах ще за його життя.
Смерть
Помер Ільо воєвода у Кюстендилі 17 квітня 1898 році у поважному віці ледь-ледь не дотягнувши до 93-го року. На його похорони прийшли практично усі жителі Кюстендила, численні його сподвижники, прихильники з всієї Болгарії. Поховали його у тому ж Кюстендилі.
Пам'ять
Після його смерті у Болгарії і Македонії пам'ять про нього збереглася у численних оповідках, піснях, легендах. У 1978 році Ільо Воєводу удостоїли звання почесного громадянина Кюстендила. У цьому місті відкрили будинок-музей видатного гайдука. Йому поставили пам'ятники і пам'ятні знаки, є названі його ім'ям вулиці у різних містах, заклади суспільного вжитку, зокрема, центр для людей з фізичними вадами, школа, бібліотека у тому ж Кюстендилі.

My Dark Places by James Ellroy
Publisher : Vintage
Category : Biography & Autobiography
The internationally acclaimed author of the L.A. Quartet and The Underworld USA Trilogy, James Ellroy, presents another literary masterpiece, this time a true crime murder mystery about his own mother. In 1958 Jean Ellroy was murdered, her body dumped on a roadway in a seedy L.A. suburb. Her killer was never found, and the police dismissed her as a casualty of a cheap Saturday night. James Ellroy was ten when his mother died, and he spent the next thirty-six years running from her ghost and attempting to exorcize it through crime fiction. In 1994, Ellroy quit running. He went back to L.A., to find out the truth about his mother--and himself. In My Dark Places, our most uncompromising crime writer tells what happened when he teamed up with a brilliant homicide cop to investigate a murder that everyone else had forgotten--and reclaim the mother he had despised, desired, but never dared to love. What ensues is a epic of loss, fixation, and redemption, a memoir that is also a history of the American way of violence. "Ellroy is more powerful than ever." --The Nation "Astonishing . . . original, daring, brilliant." --Philadelphia Inquirer

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl, and the basis for the major motion picture starring Charlize Theron Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in "The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas." She survived—and famously testified that her fifteen-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, the Kill Club—a secret society obsessed with notorious crimes—locates Libby and pumps her for details. They hope to discover proof that may free Ben. Libby hopes to turn a profit off her tragic history: She'll reconnect with the players from that night and report her findings to the club—for a fee. As Libby's search takes her from shabby Missouri strip clubs to abandoned Oklahoma tourist towns, the unimaginable truth emerges, and Libby finds herself right back where she started—on the run from a killer.

When she is offered $500 to do a guest appearance, she feels she has to accept. But this is no ordinary gathering. The Kill Club is a group of true-crime obsessives who share information on notorious murders, and they think her brother Ben is innocent. Ben was a social misfit, ground down by the small-town farming community in which he lived. But he did have a girlfriend - a brooding heavy metal fan called Diondra. Through her, Ben became involved with drugs and the dark arts. When the town suddenly turned against him, his thoughts turned black. But was he capable of murder? Libby must delve into her family's past to uncover the truth - no matter how painful...
Dark Places by Barry Curtis
Publisher : Reaktion Books
Horror films revel in taking viewers into shadowy places where the evil resides, whether it is a house, a graveyard or a dark forest. These mysterious spaces foment the terror at the heart of horror movies, empowering the ghastly creatures that emerge to kill and torment. With Dark Places, Barry Curtis leads us deep inside these haunted spaces to explore them – and the monstrous antagonists who dwell there. In this wide-ranging and compelling study, Curtis demonstrates how the claustrophobic interiors of haunted spaces in films connect to the 'dark places' of the human psyche. He examines diverse topics such as the special effects – ranging from crude to state-of-the-art – used in movies to evoke supernatural creatures; the structures, projections and architecture of horror movie sets; and ghosts as symbols of loss, amnesia, injustice and vengeance. Dark Places also examines the reconfiguration of the haunted house in film as a motel, an apartment, a road or a spaceship, and how these re-imagined spaces thematically connect to Gothic fictions. Curtis draws his examples from numerous iconic films – including Nosferatu, Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Shining – as well as lesser-known international works, which allow him to consider different cultural ideas of 'haunting'. Japanese horror films and their Hollywood remakes – such as Ringu and The Ring, or Juon and The Grudge – come under particular scrutiny, as he explores Japanese cinema's preoccupation with malevolent forces from the past. Whether you love the splatter of blood or prefer to hide under the couch, Dark Places cuts to the heart of why we are drawn to carnage.

Lighting Dark Places by Sue Kossew
Publisher : Rodopi
This is the first published collection of critical essays on the work of Kate Grenville, one of AustraliaOCOs most important contemporary writers. Grenville has been acclaimed for her novels, winning numerous national and international prizes including the Orange Prize for Fiction and the Commonwealth WritersOCO Prize. Her novels are marked by sharp observations of outsider figures who are often under pressure to conform to societyOCOs norms. More recently, she has written novels set in AustraliaOCOs past, revisiting and re-imagining colonial encounters between settlers and Indigenous Australians.This collection of essays includes a scholarly introduction and three new essays that reflect on GrenvilleOCOs work in relation to her approach to feminism, her role as public intellectual and her books on writing. The other nine essays provide analyses of each of her novels published to date, from the early success of LilianOCOs Story and Dreamhouse to the most recently published novel, The Lieutenant . Her work has been the subject of some debate and this is reflected in a number of the essays published here, most particularly with regard to her most successful novel to date, The Secret River . This intellectual engagement with important contemporary issues is a mark of GrenvilleOCOs fiction, testament to her own analysis of the vital role of writers in uncertain times. She has suggested that OC writers have ways of going into the darkest places, taking readers with them and coming out safely.OCO This volume attests to GrenvilleOCOs own significance as a writer in a time of change and to the value of her novels as indices of that change and in OC lighting dark places.OCO"

Every time I read an article about public relations, my heart sinks. For an industry that is supposed to be about communication and building relationships, our industry is pretty bad at both. Moreover, a recent article on MarketingProfs claimed the information age killed public relations.
Everybody is looking for something to blame for the steady demise of the industry, but they should really be looking in the mirror.
We're not that great at telling our own story, and—let's face it—PR's reputation has been in the toilet for years.
I've been working in the industry since 1997, and it was bad even then. Customers were often unsure of exactly what they were going to get in return for the payment of the monthly retainer. Even now, excessive retainer fees, a lack of transparency, no clear value proposition, and dubious business ethics (such as most PR professionals selling publicity as PR and asking, "What's your budget?" before asking their customers anything else) coupled with no clear ROI means that the reputation of our industry is currently at an all-time low.
Is it any wonder we find it hard to be taken seriously?
The industry is broken; it is not fit for the purpose it purports to have been designed for. The model is broken; the ubiquitous retainer and cookie-cutter PR process do not help the majority of agency customers. The definition has been bastardized to the point that most newcomers to the industry never fully understand the fundamentals of PR.
The result of all that is that nobody—not even people working in the industry—is clear about what PR is. We cannot agree on a single definition. There is no consensus on what value PR delivers or why businesses need it. | {

Over 50 staff members will leave local Liberties hospitals as part of the Government's early retirement scheme, the Irish Nurses' and Midwifes' Organisation (INMO) estimates.
Saint James's Hospital may lose almost 30 nurses and the Coombe Maternity Hospital could see six experienced midwives retire by the deadline, February 29.
Nearby Crumlin Children's Hospital may have 20 retirements under the scheme, adding to an extra 30 overseas nurses that have already left.
Other services will have their staff numbers reduced with reports of losing four teachers described as 'typical' by a local Teachers's Union of Ireland (TUI) leader.
Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Brendan Howlin said that the retirements would have no impact on front line services if managers and staff worked together. Yet Dublin's industrial relations officer for the INMO, Albert Murphy does not agree with the Minister.
"The 2,567 staff (in the health sector) lost is just the third retirement scheme. This obviously will start to affect front line services," said Mr Murphy.
The Government's moratorium on recruiting new public sector workers means that positions made available from the retirement scheme will not be filled, reducing overall staff numbers.
"Now (with reduced staff numbers) nurses will become more flexible, but changes will be needed," he said.
The hospital held a meeting on February 29 to confirm the numbers left and reveal the hospital's budget cut. Mr Murphy expected the hospital's budget to be cut by approximately 7%.
Schools will also be hit by the scheme as local TUI representative, Mick Glynn explained. In his school, Tallaght Community College, four are expected to leave with three leaving behind Leaving Cert classes.
"Other schools fear for the future as we do, but they may suffer more. The extra funding we get through our DEIS status helps us," he said.
Mr Glynn revealed that teachers feared that cutbacks such as these, along with the moratorium, would discourage people from becoming teachers.
"Nationally the TUI executive is seriously considering taking action. It will ballot for industrial action soon," he said.
The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform confirmed that 7,464 retired under the scheme. The scheme allows workers to retire with a pension based on their higher 2009 salaries. | {

Innovation & Job News
e-Documents for docs adds up to success
Entrepreneurship, Healthcare, IT
Salar Inc., an electronic documentation firm located in Fells Point, is growing. The company recently added the Greater Baltimore Medical Center and the George Washington University Hospital to its roster of clients.
Salar's bread and butter is the healthcare industry. Founded in 1999, the company takes traditional paper-based physicians notes and puts them into an electronic format, which boosts productivity and enhances hospital revenues.
Both the Greater Baltimore Medical Center and the George Washington University Hospital have contracted with Salar to bring clinicians at both hospitals TeamNotes, which enables physicians to create medical forms, including daily notes, admission notes and discharge notes electronically on desktops, laptops, and tablet PCs.
"Our ultimate goal is to maximize the amount of time physicians spend interacting with and treating patients and minimize the time occupied with completing paperwork and correcting billing errors," says Salar president Todd Johnson.
President Barack Obama has made the shift to electronic medical records a priority that he would like to see accomplished within the next five years. With less than 10 percent of the 5,000 hospitals in the U.S. and just under 20 percent of the 800,000 doctors currently using computerized records, there is plenty of potential for growth for Salar.
Johns Hopkins Hospital, UMass Memorial Health Care and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center also use Salar's technology.

Returning for its third season, The Real Housewives of Melbourne (RHOM), will see the eight housewives head to Dubai and Atlantis, The Palm for this season's girls' getaway.
In two 60-minute episodes, the cast enjoy a jam packed programme that includes a desert safari experience with Arabian Adventures, dinner at Atlantis, The Palm's underwater restaurant, Ossiano, shark dives and waterslides at Aquaventure Waterpark, kisses from Fur Seals at Sea Lion Point, shopping at the Dubai Mall, sampling camel milk lattés, enjoying Middle Eastern food at Qbara, bartering for bargains at the souks and enjoying a traditional breakfast and heritage discussion at the Sheikh Mohammad Centre for Cultural Understanding.
Taking the Housewives to Dubai for a 'girls getaway' and immersing themselves in the local culture, formed part of Dubai Tourism's wider strategy to strengthen awareness of the cosmopolitan, vibrant and exciting nature of the destination and its appeal to the female demographic.
"Our aim is to reinforce Dubai's position to Australians as a longer stay, year round holiday destination. As Dubai continually evolves and changes, it is becoming very popular with female travellers and female groups looking for an exciting getaway in a safe and fun environment.
The Housewives stayed in Imperial Club Suites at Atlantis, The Palm for eight nights, and enjoying an array of activities from cocktails at Nasimi Beach Club, to thrilling waterslides at Aquaventure Waterpark and personal shopping sessions in the Royal Bridge Suite.
The episodes were filmed late in 2015 and will air on Sunday April 10, Sunday April 17 and Sunday April 24.
Now in its third season, the series has made household names of Melbourne's Housewives and catapulted them into the spotlight with the series becoming Foxtel's highest rating reality production at the time of launch.
The series has become an international hit and was the first franchise outside of the US to screen primetime on Bravo, as well as screening on ITVBe in the UK.
Returning for season three are Chyka Keebaugh, Gamble Breaux, Gina Liano, Jackie Gillies, Janet Roach, Lydia Schiavello and Pettifleur Berenger. This season they are joined by Melbourne socialite and country girl turned Toorak Housewife, Susie McLean.
The Real Housewives of Melbourne season three airs at 8.30pm on Foxtel's Arena.
How do you think Dubai will benefit from the exposure? | {

This week's post is part of the Jon Acuff Start Experiment. We receive homework every day, and today's assignment was to write our Time magazine article. This is mine!
We met in a tiny coffee shop in Florence, AL. There was nothing significant about it, except that every customer was treated with the same warmth. Song walked in wearing a simple pair of blue jeans and a comfortable fitted tee. She stepped up to the counter and ordered a decaf coffee black. I expected an easy interview because I could tell she wasn't going to hold anything back. What you see with her is what you get.
"I have always sort of told it how it is when it comes to my struggles," she said. "It may not be the best approach because that type of honesty can intimidate people. I've learned how to curb that some, but I refuse to curb it anymore. I want to surround myself with people who appreciate honesty and want to be real. I don't have to share everything with everyone I meet. But the circle of friends I surround myself with welcome my honesty. They believe in me and encourage me. That means a lot to me because I enjoy encouraging others. I told myself once that if I could find a job where I could get paid just to encourage people, that would be my dream job.
"The funny thing was, I was already doing something I enjoyed. I didn't want to give up that job. I decided, instead, to encourage others because it's who I am and what I love. I made a vow to just be the best cheerleader I could for everyone that crossed my path. After reading David Dunn's Try Giving Yourself Away, I knew that it would only bless my life and the life of others. Sure, sometimes people are put off by my words, but I would rather say something kind and thoughtful than to regret saying nothing.
I am currently involved in Celebrate Recovery, which is a twelve-step recovery program based on the Alcoholics Anonymous twelve-step program. One of the elements of the recovery prayer is "living one day at a time." I never really understood what that meant until I entered a recovery program myself.
My choice to enter this recovery program is based mostly on emotional issues I have that tend to permeate and invade most of my relationships.
1. I want to run a 10k before the year is up. I plan on running three 5k races and then moving up to a 10k. I will keep you all posted!
This journey that I'm on is filled with stumbles and failures, successes and victories. Most days I experience all of these. How I respond to the failure is what really matters.
I'm trying to learn that still. I can't tell you how many times I've quit trying because I didn't believe I'd ever get it right or I just didn't have the energy or courage to do it again.
Now, I've got a drive to be better. I still make mistakes. And I still struggle with how I handle my mistakes. They're no fun! Especially when the mistakes involve other people. When people are hurt by our mistakes, it's not just about getting over our own mistakes. We have to forgive ourselves for the harm we've done to others. We have to make it right if it's possible. Then, we move on.
I've made many financial mistakes. I still am! But I refuse to give up. I refuse to quit! I'm going to keep on keeping on until it becomes a little easier. I believe that the Lord wants to help me conquer this struggle. As long as I lean on Him and continue to put people in my life who believe in me and want to help me, I won't fail. I may stumble and fall, but I will not fail. I'm just going to get back up, over and over again. Because I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
I will close with this thought: Our failures are just moments. They do NOT define us.
How do you handle failure? Do you have a support group to help you during fallen moments? | {

The Plattsburgh State Student Association held its final meeting of the semester in the Cardinal Lounge of the Angell College Center at 9:15 p.m. Wednesday.
PSUC senior Chelsea Green presented the "Green Index" which is a rewritten version of the Legislation Index penned by the 47th legislation's Executive Vice President Steven Heath. Heath wrote, documented and organized all of the legislation from the first legislation to the 47th.
The SA passed a summer budget proposal by PSUC Finance Board Vice President Shiyiheeim Nartey-Tokoli. The budget pertains to summer allocations of student activity that decreases the current budget from $28,938.80 to $28,935.00.
The SA approved Student Bill #4, which calls for the elimination of executive bylaws, student bills and other bylaws before the beginning of the 54th legislation. The bill will become effective when signed by the speaker of the senate.
Student Bill #5 was approved by the SA senate. The bill calls for a new phone/video meeting policy for the SA. This bill stemmed from a problem faced this semester, of having to call important last-minute meetings but inability to reach quorum. With the new policy, meetings over the phone will allow the SA to conduct important meetings more efficiently.
The SA approved Resolution #5, a call to honor and recognize Keith Tyo, director of communications and President John Ettling's chief of staff, who annnounced his retirement this semester.
"On behalf of the students of this institution who have studied here throughout the time Keith Tyo served as the director of communications and chief of staff, we are forever indebted to him and his 22 years of service to our college," the resolution said, written by SA President Jessica Falace and Executive Vice President Kristin Berkey .
The SA also approved Resolution #6, which will similarly honor University Police Chief Jerry Lottie, who also announced his retirement.
"Students have appreciated his dedication and service to the college," Falace said.
In other closing events, Active Minds was approved for permanent status as an organization on campus. Active Minds is a club for those who have been affected by suicide or suicidal thoughts.
The Young Democratic Socialists of America was approved for permanent status. YDSA President Gwen Sagliocca said the club was planning to hold collaboration events with groups like Black Onyx: The Black Student Union and the National Association for Black Accountants.
The Literature Club was approved for up to $120 for new books to discuss. Their next book will be "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline.
The SA will resume meetings in the fall. | {

"DANIEL DERONDA" (2002) Review
Posted on January 12, 2016 by ladylavinia1932
With the exception of the 1994 miniseries, "MIDDLEMARCH", I am not that familiar with any movie or television adaptations of George Eliot's works. I finally decided to overlook my earlier lack of interest in Eliot's final novel, "Daniel Deronda" and watch the television version that aired back in 2002.
This adaptation of Eliot's 1876 novel was set during the same decade of its publication, although the literary version was set a decade earlier – during the 1860s. Adapted by Andrew Davies and directed by Tom Hooper, "DANIEL DERONDA"contained two major plot arcs, united by the story's title character. In fact, Davies followed Eliot's narrative structure by starting its tale mid-way. The miniseries began in the fictional town of Leubronn, Germany with the meeting of Daniel Deronda, the ward of a wealthy landowner; and the oldest daughter of an impoverished, yet respectable family, Gwendolen Harleth. The two meet inside a casino, where Gwendolen manages to lose a good deal of money at roulette. When she learns that her family has become financially ruined, Gwendolen pawns her necklace and considers another round of gambling to make her fortune. However, Daniel, who became attracted to her, redeemed the necklace for her. The story then flashes back several months to the pair's back stories.
Following the death of her stepfather, Gwendolen and her family moves to a new neighborhood, where she meets Henleigh Mallinger Grandcourt, a taciturn and calculating man who proposes marriage safter their first meeting. Although originally tempted to be courted by Grandcourt, Gwendolen eventually flees to Germany after learning about Grandcourt's mistress, Lydia Glasher and their children. Meanwhile, Daniel is in the process of wondering what to do with his life, when he prevents a beautiful Jewish singer named Milah Lapidoth from committing suicide. Kidnapped by her father as a child and forced into an acting troupe, Milah finally fled from him when she discovered his plans to sell her into prostitution. Daniel undertakes to help Milah find her mother and brother in London's Jewish community before he departs for Germany with his guardian, Sir Hugo Mallinger. Although Daniel and Gwendolen are attracted to each other, she eventually marries the emotionally abusive Grandcourt out of desperation, and he continues his search for Milah's family and becomes further acquainted with London's Jewish community. Because Grandcourt is Sir Hugo's heir presumptive, Daniel and Gwendolen's paths cross on several occasions.
There are times when I find myself wondering if there is any true description of Eliot's tale. On one hand, it seemed to be an exploration of Jewish culture through the eyes of the Daniel Deronda character. On the other hand, it seemed like an exploration of an abusive marriage between a previously spoiled young woman who finds herself out of her depth and a cold and manipulative man. Most critics and viewers seemed more interested in the plotline regarding Gwendolen's marriage to Henleigh Grandcourt. At the same time, these same critics and viewers have criticized Eliot's exploration of Jewish culture through Daniel's eyes, judging it as dull and a millstone around the production's neck. When I first saw"DANIEL DERONDA", I had felt the same. But after this second viewing, I am not so sure if I would completely agree with them.
Do not get me wrong. I thought Andrew Davies, Tom Hopper and the cast did an excellent job of translating Gwendolen's story arc to the screen. I was especially transfixed in watching how the arrogant and spoiled found herself drawn into a marriage with a controlling and sadistic man like Henleigh Grandcourt. However by the first half of Episode Three, I found myself growing rather weary of watching Hugh Bonneville stare icily into the camera, while Romola Garai trembled before him. Only Gwendolen's pathetic attempts to rattle her husband and Grandcourt's jealousy of Daniel provided any relief from the constant mental sadism between the pair. In contrast, Daniel's interest in Milah, her Jewish ancestry and especially his confusion over his own identity struck me as surprisingly interesting. I also found the conflict between Daniel's growing interest in Judaism and his godfather's determination to mold him into an "English gentleman" also fascinating. When I first saw "DANIEL DERONDA", I thought it could have benefited from a fourth episode. Or . . . the producers could have stretched the second and third episodes to at least 75 or 90 minutes each. But you know what? Upon my second viewing, I realized I had no problems with the production's running time. Besides, I do not think I could have endured another episode of the Grandcourts' marriage.
I have to give George Eliot for creating an interesting novel about self-discovery . . . especially for the two main characters, Daniel Deronda and Gwendolen Harleth. And I want to also credit screenwriter Andrew Davies for his first-rate translation of Eliot's novel to the television screen. I would not say that Davies' work was perfect, but then neither was Eliot's novel. I have to praise both the novelist and the screenwriter for effectively conveying Daniel's confusion over his own identity and his fascination toward a new culture and how both will eventually converge as one by the end of the story. Although Gwendolen plays a part in Daniel's inner culture clash, she has her own struggles. I do not simply refer to her struggles to endure Grandcourt's emotional control over her. I also refer to Gwendolen's moral conflict – one in which she had earlier lost when she had agreed to marry Grandcourt. But a trip to Italy will eventually give her a second chance to resolve her conflict. On the other hand, I do have some quibbles about Davies' screenplay. Daniel was not the only character who had developed feelings for Milah. So did his close friend, Hans Meyrick. Unfortunately, Davies' screenplay did little to explore Hans' feelings for Milah and toward her relationship with Daniel. Speaking of Milah, I could not help but feel fascinated by her backstory regarding her relationship with her father. In many ways, it struck me as a lot more traumatic than Gwendolen's marriage to Grandcourt. A part of me wishes that Eliot had explored this part of Milah's life in her novel. Speaking of Milah, Episode Two ended on an interesting note in which she finally became aware of the emotional connection between Daniel and Gwendolen. And yet, the story never followed through on this emotional and character development. Which I feel is a damn shame.
Some fans and critics have expressed regret that Daniel ends up marrying Milah, instead of Gwendolen. After all, Eliot allowed two other characters to form a mixed marriage – the Jewish musician Herr Klesmer and one of Gwendolen's friends, Catherine Arrowpoint. Surely, she could have allowed Daniel and Gwendolen to marry. I do believe that they had a point. I feel that Daniel and Gwendolen would have made emotionally satisfying partners for each other. But if I must be honest, I can say the same about Daniel and Milah. I believe the two women represented choices in lifestyles for Daniel. Gwendolen represented the lifestyle that both Sir Hugo and Daniel's mother wanted him to pursue – namely that of an upper-class English gentleman. Milah represented a lifestyle closer to his true self. In the end, Eliot wanted Daniel to choose his "true self".
I cannot deny that the production values for "DANIEL DERONDA" struck me as outstanding. Don Taylor's production designs for the miniseries did a beautiful job in re-creating Victorian England and Europe during the 1870s. The crew who helped him bring this era to life also did exceptional jobs, especially art director Grant Montgomery and set decorator Nicola Barnes. However, there were technical aspects that truly stood out. Simon Starling's colorful and sharp photography of Great Britain and Malta (which served as Italy) truly took my breath away. I could also say the same for Caroline Noble, who did an excellent job of re-creating the hairstyles of the early and mid-1870s. As for Mike O'Neill's costume designs for the production . . . in some cases, pictures can speak louder than words:
Truly outstanding and beautiful. I was especially impressed by Romola Garai's wardrobe.
"DANIEL DERONDA" also featured a good deal of outstanding performances. If I must be honest, I cannot find a single performance that struck me as below par or even mediocre. The miniseries featured solid performances from the likes of Celia Imrie, Anna Popplewell, Anna Steel, Jamie Bamber and Daniel Marks. "DANIEL DERONDA" also included some interested supporting performances, especially Allan Corduner's skillful portrayal of the blunt-speaking musician Herr Klesmer; David Bamber as Grandcourt's slimy sycophant, Lush; Edward Fox as Sir Hugo Mallinger, Daniel's loving benefactor; Amanda Root's interesting portrayal of Gwendolen's rather timid mother; Daniel Evan's intense performance as Miriam's long lost brother; and Greta Scacchi's very complex portrayal of Grandcourt's former mistress, Lydia Glasher.
Superficially, the character of Miriam Lapidoth seemed like the type that would usually bore me – the "nice girl" with whom the hero usually ended. But actress Jodhi May projected a great deal of depth in her portrayal of Miriam, reflecting the character's haunted past in a very subtle and skillful manner. Barbara Hershey more or less made a cameo appearance in"DANIEL DERONDA" that lasted a good five to ten minutes. However, being an excellent actress, Hershey gave a superb performance as Daniel's long lost mother, a former opera singer named Contessa Maria Alcharisi, who gave him up to Sir Hugo in order to pursue a singing career. Perhaps I should have been horrified by her decision to give up motherhood for a career. But Hershey beautifully conveyed the contessa's frustration over her father's determination that she adhere to society's rules by limiting her life to being a wife and mother. And I found myself sympathizing her situation.
Like Miriam Lapidoth, the Daniel Deronda character seemed like the type of character I would find boring. Superficially, he seemed too upright and not particularly complex. However, I was surprised and very pleased by how Hugh Dancy injected a great deal of complexity in his portrayal of Daniel. He did an effective job in portraying Daniel's conflict between the lifestyle both Sir Hugo and his mother had mapped out for him and the one represented by Miriam, her brother Mordecai, and their friends, the Cohens. Romola Garai was equally superb as the complex Gwendolen Harleth. She did such an excellent job in conveying Gwendolen's growth from a spoiled and ambitious young woman, to the matured and more compassionate woman who had survived an emotionally traumatic marriage that I cannot help but wonder how she failed to earn an action nomination, let alone award, for her performance. Hugh Bonneville also gave an excellent job as Gwendolen's emotionally abusive husband, Henleigh Grandcourt. I read somewhere that the role helped Bonneville break out of his usual staple of good-natured buffoons that he had portrayed in movies like 1999's "MANSFIELD PARK" and"NOTTING HILL". I can see how. I found his Grandcourt rather chilly and intimidating.
"DANIEL DERONDA" may have a few flaws. But overall, it is a prime example of the British period dramas at its zenith during the fifteen-year period between 1995 and 2010. It is a superb production and adaptation of George Eliot's novel, thanks to Tom Hooper's direction, Andrew Davies' writing, the excellent work by its crew and the first-rate cast led by Hugh Dancy and Romola Garai. It is something not to be missed.

"THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER" (2010) Review
Since the last cinematic installment of the "NARNIA" franchise failed to make as much money as the first film, the Walt Disney Studios decided to end its association with C.S. Lewis's saga and not continue with a third movie. Twentieth Century Fox came to the rescue and agreed to release the third film, "THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER".
Directed by Michael Apted, "THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER" centered around the adventures of the two younger Pevensie siblings – Edmund (Skandar Keynes) and Lucy (Georgie Henley) – and their return to Narnia some three years after their adventures in "PRINCE CASPIAN". During the last year of World War II, Edmund and Lucy are living with relatives in Cambridge. One of those relations is their obnoxious cousin, Eustace Stubbs (Will Poulter), who accompanies them back to Narnia, when they are pulled into a painting inside his bedroom. The painting turns out to be a portrait of the Dawn Treader, a royal vessel belonging to the now King Caspian X (Ben Barnes). Caspian has been on a three-year voyage in search of the seven Lords of Narnia, whom his uncle Miraz (the villain of "PRINCE CASPIAN") had banished when he usurped the Narnian throne. Along the way they encounter slave traders, dragons, dwarves, merfolk, a band of lost warriors and a mysterious mist that represents the spirit of Evil, before reaching the edge of the world.
"VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER" proved to be something of a departure from the previous two stories. One, the protagonists spend most of their time aboard a ship, traveling from one location to another. Secondly, only two of the Pevensie siblings are major characters in this tale, Edmund and Lucy. Apparently Peter (William Peter Moseley) and Susan (Popplewell) are traveling in the United States with their parents. However, both appear in a spell sequence in which Lucy images herself with Susan's looks. Most importantly, the story's main protagonist is not a certain individual. Instead, Edmund, Lucy, Caspian, Eustace and the crew of the Dawn Treader have to face a mysterious mist that acts more or less as a malignant spirit that influences the darker aspects of their personalities, fears and desires.
I might as well be frank. I am not a major fan of C.S. Lewis' "THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA" novels. I never have been a major fan and I doubt that I will ever become one. But I must admit that the last two movies made me appreciate them a lot more than if I had never seen them. I must admit that Walden Media had produced some very entertaining movies. As for "VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER", screenwriters Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely and Michael Petroni found themselves with a dilemma. Lewis' third NARNIA story turned out to be a bit disjointed and episodic. The BBC solved this problem by combining both"VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER" and the fourth novel, "THE SILVER CHAIR" into one production. Director Michael Apted and the three screenwriters were not that drastic. Instead, they assimilated some elements of the fourth novel (like the Narnians being held hostage by the mist and rescued) into the third movie's script. Did it work? Perhaps it did not work for some, but it certainly worked for me. As I had earlier pointed out, the story's main antagonist turned out to be a mysterious green mist that served as a euphemism for the characters' inner fears, desires and darkness. In this regard, the mist reminded me of the First Evil character from Season Seven of "BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER". Many movie and television fans may not be that enamored of this type of "villain", but it did not bother me. I have discovered that the older I get, the more I enjoyed such storylines that provide ambiguous catalysts for the characters' inner conflicts.
I enjoyed "VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER" very much. More than I had expected to. I had not expected to enjoy it that much, considering this was the first movie not to feature all four of the Pevensie siblings. If I must be honest, I did not miss Peter and Susan Pevensie. Edmund and Lucy managed to create a tight relationship with King Caspian and later, their cousin Eustace. And one has to give thanks to the solid screen chemistry between Skandar Keynes, Georgie Henley, Will Poulter and Ben Barnes. Simon Pegg's vocal performance as the swashbuckling mouse, Reepicheep added nicely to the mix.
One of the best aspects of "VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER" was that the movie explored a good deal of the main characters' personalities – especially their insecurities, fears and desires – due to the effect of the green mist. This gave Skandar Keynes a chance to explore another dark aspect of Edmund Pevensie's personality – namely his resentment over Caspian's position as Narnia's most recent king and his own desire for power. And Keynes proved he had the acting chops to convey this aspect of Edmund's personality and at the same time, maintain the character's growing maturity. Georgie Henley proved to be something of a revelation in her portrayal of Lucy Pevensie. She had come a long way from the innocent and friendly young girl in 2005's"THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE". Thanks to the green mist story arc, she made great use of her chance to stretch her acting skills by effectively portraying Lucy's insecurities regarding her looks and living in the shadow of older sister Susan. Ben Barnes' portrayal of the now King Caspian X struck me as more mature and solid. Yet, Barnes is also talented enough to convey hints of Caspian's own insecurities of living up to his father's name . . . and the reputations of the Pevensies in Narnia. Liam Neeson was as impressive and commanding as ever, while providing the voice for Aslan the Lion. And Simon Pegg was charming and effervescent as the heroic mouse, Reepicheep. I especially enjoyed the scene in which Reepicheep tries to give fencing lessons to a very reluctant Eustace. Speaking of Eustace Scrubb, actor Will Coulter literally stole the movie as Edmund and Lucy's arrogant and obnoxious cousin. In fact, Coulter's performance was so impressive that at times, he seemed like a pugnacious adult in a child's body. The speaking voice he utilized for Eustace struck me as very strange, yet comic. I was not surprised to learn that Coulter managed to earn a nomination as Young Performer of the Year for the 2010 London Film Critics Circle Awards.
If there is one thing about "VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER" that did not appeal to me was that it had been shot in 3D. I have made it clear in my reviews of "AVATAR" and "ALICE IN WONDERLAND" that I am not a fan of 3D photography – at least for motion pictures. And if I must be frank, I did not find the 3D effects for this movie particularly impressive. Instead of a headache, I ended up suffering from sinus congestion from wearing eyeglasses and 3D glasses. And as much as I had enjoyed "VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER", I really saw no need for it to be shot in 3D. But thanks to cinematographer Dante Spinotti and visual effects supervisors, Angus Bickerton and Jim Rygiel; I must admit that I enjoyed the movie's beautiful photography and visual effects.
In the end, I enjoyed "THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER" very much. Despite being shot in 3D, I still managed to enjoy the beautiful photography and visual effects. Screenwriters Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely and Michael Petroni managed to take a novel with an episodic storyline and transform it into something more solid. The storyline regarding the green mist (a metaphor for the spirit of Evil) allowed the cast to delve into their characters' darker impules and desires with great skill. And director Michael Apted managed to put it all together in an entertaining film.

"THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN" (2008) Review
I must admit that it took me quite a while to write a review of the latest cinematic installment of "THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA" saga. This second installment, "Prince Caspian", tells the story of four Pevensie children's return to Narnia to aid Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) in his struggle for the throne against his corrupt uncle King Miraz (Sergio Castellitto). I tried to think of something different about this chapter in compare to the first – "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". But it occurred to me that my reaction to this movie seemed more or less the same as the 2005 release.
And what does that say about my feelings about "Prince Caspian"? Honestly, I thought it was a solid and entertaining film that both children and adult fans of C.S. Lewis' saga might enjoy. That is all I can really say. There was nothing really unique about it. Like many other adaptations of literary works, "Prince Caspian" did not faithfully follow its literary counterpart. Considering that I have never read any of Lewis' works, I was not particularly disturbed by this. The only reason I am aware of any differences between the literary and cinematic versions, is the Internet.
Like the previous movie, the cast is pretty solid. The actors who portrayed the Pevensie children returned for this sequel. Due to the rapid aging of children in general, work on the script began before "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" was released, so filming could begin before the actors grew too old for their parts. William Moseley (Peter), Anna Popplewell (Susan), Skandar Keynes (Edmund) and Georgie Henley (Lucy) all gave solid, yet slightly uninspiring performances as the four siblings. Whereas Keynes got the chance to show Edmund at his peevish worst in the previous film, Moseley portrayed a slightly darker side of oldest brother Peter, whose dissatisfaction with being back in England had produced boorish personality. Perhaps I should rephrase that. Peter's boorish, which had been hinted through his handling of Edmund in the first film, was allowed to flourish in this film. It took a military failure against the main villain to give him a boot in the ass to improve his personality. On the other hand, Edmund seemed remarkably changed for the better in this film. One critic had described him as being the film's "Han Solo". I would agree, except Edmund came off as more mature and intelligent than Han Solo. Anna Popplewell had convinced producer Douglas Gresham to allow Susan to appear in the movie's major battles, because she feared the character came off as too passive in Lewis' novel. Many fans of the novel were appalled by this. Not being a literary fan of the saga, it did not bother me at all. At least it gave her something to do. Of all the Pevensie siblings, Georgie Henley's Lucy seemed to have changed the least. Although she seemed less tolerant of Peter's boorishness than she was of Edmund's darker side in the first film.
British actor Ben Barnes portrayed the title role of Prince Caspian of Telmarine with as much solid competence as the four actors who portrayed the Pevensies. Perhaps he seemed a little more competent than his younger co-stars in acting skills, but I could not sense anything remarkable about his performance. Portraying Caspian's evil uncle and the Telmarine's false ruler, King Miraz, was actor Sergio Castellitto. He made a very effective villain, but lacked Tilda Swanton's memorable portrayal as the White Witch. Who, by the way, briefly returned to bring a much-needed spark in the middle of the story. If I must be honest, her brief appearance was probably the best scene in the film. But not even Swinton's spectacular appearance could not overshadow what I feel was the best performance in the movie – namely that of Peter Dinklage as Trumpkin, a cynical red dwarf. I really enjoyed his sharp and caustic take on the dwarf, who is skeptic of the idea of Aslan and magic.
As much as I enjoyed "Prince Caspian", I must admit that I found it no more remarkable than the first. Also, I found it difficult to maintain interest in the film's first half, as it switched back and forth between Caspian's flight from his murderous uncle and the Pevensies' arrival in Narnia. Director Andrew Adamson seemed to lack George Lucas and Peter Jackson's talent for seemless transition between multiple storylines within one film. But once the Pevensies and Caspian finally met, the movie seemed to discover its pace as it flowed toward the heroes' ill-fated attempt to attack upon Miraz and the final showdown. There were two scenes that gave me a sense of déjà vu – namely the attacks of the trees and the river god upon the Telmarine army. It seemed as if either Adamson or Lewis had a Tolkien moment. The attack of the trees especially reminded me of the Ents' attack upon Isengard in "LORD OF THE RINGS: The Two Towers".
"Prince Caspian" is not the greatest movie I have seen this summer. Nor is there anything unique about it. But if one can overcome the fact that it is not an exact adaptation of C.S. Lewis' novel, anyone might find the movie quite entertaining to watch. I heartily recommend it.

Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa est un écrivain, critique, polémiste et poète portugais trilingue (principalement portugais, mais aussi anglais et, dans une moindre mesure, français). Né le à Lisbonne, ville où il meurt des suites de son alcoolisme le , il a vécu une partie de son enfance à Durban en Afrique du Sud.
Théoricien de la littérature engagée dans une époque troublée par la guerre et les dictatures, inventeur inspiré par Cesário Verde du sensationnisme, ses vers mystiques et sa prose poétique ont été les principaux agents du surgissement du modernisme au Portugal.
Biographie
Fernando Pessoa est porté le sur les fonts baptismaux par le général Chaby sous le patronage de son prétendu aïeul Fernando de Bulhões dont la fête coïncide avec le jour de sa naissance.
Enfance (1888-1898)
L'enfant, qui a grandi en face de l'opéra de Lisbonne, 4 place Saint-Charles dans le quartier du Chiado, perd à l'âge de cinq ans son père, emporté le dans sa quarante-quatrième année par la tuberculose. Ce père, , fils d'un général qui s'était illustré durant la guerre civile portugaise, travaillait comme fonctionnaire du secrétariat à la Justice et publiait régulièrement des critiques musicales dans le Diário de Notícias (il a en outre publié une brochure sur Le Hollandais volant). Le , c'est au tour de son frère né en juillet 1893, Jorge, de mourir. Le garçon, alors que la famille a dû en novembre emménager avec une grand-mère maternelle dans une maison plus modeste 104 rue Saint-Marcel, s'invente un double, le Chevalier de Pas, et dédie un premier poème annonciateur de prédilections futures À ma chère maman.
Sa mère, , îlienne de Terceira, femme de culture quadrilingue et versificatrice à ses heures, dont le père, directeur général du ministère de la Reine, fréquentait entre autres personnalités le poète , avait appris l'anglais auprès du précepteur des infants. Elle s'était remariée, par procuration, en décembre 1895 avec le consul du Portugal à Durban, le commandant João Miguel Rosa, qui lui avait été présenté à Lisbonne quatorze mois plus tôt, avant la nomination de celui-ci. Elle embarqua avec son fils le pour rejoindre son nouvel époux au Natal, colonie autonome d'Afrique du Sud, où l'éducation de l'enfant se poursuivit en anglais. Celui-ci franchit en deux ans les quatre années de l'enseignement primaire dispensé par les sœurs irlandaises et françaises de l'école catholique Saint-Joseph.
Adolescence sud-africaine (1899-1904)
Introverti et modeste dans ses échanges, Fernando Pessoa se montre un frère amuseur en organisant des jeux de rôles ou en faisant le clown devant la galerie, attitude ambivalente qu'il conservera toute sa vie.
Devenu crack solitaire du , inapte au sport (il est premier en français en 1900), il est admis en juin 1901 au . C'est l'année où meurt sa seconde demi-sœur, Madalena Henriqueta, âgée de deux ans, et où il s'invente le personnage d'Alexander Search dans lequel il se glisse pour écrire des poèmes, en anglais, langue qui restera, sans exclusivité, celle de son écriture jusqu'en 1921. Il y en aura cent dix-sept, le dernier datant de 1909. Ses tentatives d'écrire des nouvelles, parfois sous le pseudonyme de David Merrick ou de Horace James Faber, sont des échecs.
Cependant, à la rentrée scolaire, il est avec sa famille sur le paquebot qui conduit via Alexandrie le corps de sa sœur jusqu'à une sépulture lisboète. En mai 1902, le voyage familial se prolonge aux Açores où habite la famille maternelle. Sa belle-famille, rentrant sans lui, le laisse visiter de son côté sa famille paternelle à Tavira en Algarve. C'est seul qu'il regagne Durban en septembre. Préparant seul son entrée à l'université, il suit parallèlement des cours du soir au Lycée de Commerce de Durban. En novembre 1903, il est lauréat d'anglais, sur huit cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuf candidats, à l'examen d'admission à l'Université du Cap de Bonne Espérance.
C'est toutefois de nouveau au lycée de Durban qu'il suit l'équivalent d'une khâgne. Ébloui par Shakespeare, il compose alors, en anglais, Le Marin, première et seule pièce achevée des cinq œuvres dramatiques qu'il produira. Il est publié pour la première fois en juillet 1904 par pour un poème signé Charles Robert Anon, comme anonyme. Le journal du lycée de décembre 1904 révèle par un article intitulé Macaulay ses talents de critique. Il achève ses études « undergraduate » en décembre 1904 en obtenant précocement le diplôme « Intermediate Examination in Arts ».
Immigré à Lisbonne, exilé à soi-même (1905-1911)
En 1905, à l'âge de dix-sept ans, il part pour Lisbonne, laissant sa mère à Durban, pour étudier la diplomatie au Cours Supérieur de Lettres, qui, en 1911, deviendra . Il vit auprès de deux tantes et de sa grand-mère paternelle, atteinte de démence à éclipses, Dionísia Perestrelo de Seabra. Une santé fragile qu'il tente de soigner par la psychothérapie et la gymnastique suédoise lui fait perdre une année universitaire et, l'année suivante, son cursus est compromis par une grève des étudiants, contre la dictature du premier ministre João Franco.
À la mort de sa grand-mère en août 1907, il se fait engager par l'agence américaine d'information commerciale Dun & Bradstreet. En septembre, il utilise l'héritage que sa grand-mère lui a laissé, pour ouvrir, 38 rue de la Conception de Gloire, un atelier de typographie et d'édition intitulé Ibis et écrit sa première nouvelle aboutie, A Very Original Dinner, récit d'humour noir et de cannibalisme. En quelques mois, l'affaire tourne au désastre financier et en 1908 il se fait embaucher au journal Comércio comme « correspondant étranger. »
Il trouve également à travailler comme rédacteur de courrier commercial et traducteur indépendant pour différents transitaires du port. C'est de la traduction commerciale qu'il tirera jusqu'à la fin de sa vie son revenu de subsistance, revenu précaire qui l'aura fait passer par vingt maisons différentes, parfois deux ou trois simultanément.
C'est encore en 1908 qu'il inaugure une recherche intérieure, « une longue marche vers soi, vers la connaissance » d'un soi qui se révèle multiple, sous la forme d'un journal intime transcrivant dans ce qui devait devenir un drame en cinq actes, Tragédie subjective, le monologue de Faust, monologue qui ne s'arrêtera qu'avec la mort de l'écrivain et dont seuls des fragments ont été publiés. Cette quête intérieure répond à une errance physique, de chambre louée en chambre louée, de quartier en quartier, qui ne cessera qu'en 1921 et se ponctuera de crises cénestopathiques.
Conscient de son état, il lit en 1910 Max Nordau, qui décrit le fou comme un dégénéré enfermé dans une subjectivité artistique, lecture qui le persuade que son génie à objectiver la perception du monde l'écarte de la folie. Aussi, en 1911, commence-t-il la rédaction, en anglais, de poèmes sensationnistes. Dépassant l'interprétation symboliste des correspondances de Baudelaire, le poète tend à travers celles-ci à restituer une perception non teintée de subjectivité d'un au-delà présent. Il réalise ainsi le projet nietzschéen d'une tragédie délivrée du moi de l'artiste. Il est conforté dans le sens mystique d'un tel dépassement par les expériences de dépersonnalisation décrites par Edgar Poe, écrivain qu'il a beaucoup lu depuis son arrivée à Lisbonne et qu'il traduira à l'instar d'un Mallarmé qu'il a également étudié de façon approfondie. Après le refus de Constable & Robinson de l'éditer, le , l'expérience sensationniste s'achèvera là sous cette forme, laissant place entièrement au projet futuriste, avant d'être repris comme testament de l'artiste. Les cinquante-deux poèmes composant The Mad Fiddler ne seront publiés qu'après 1979, quatre autres volumes et une tragédie en anglais, que l'auteur jugeait imparfaits, restant inédits.
Du critique au pasticheur maniaque (1912-1914)
En 1912, il publie sa première critique en portugais suivies de deux autres dans la revue nostalgiste , organe de la . Introduit par le frère de son beau-père, le général retraité Henrique Rosa, il entre dans le groupe Orpheu, cercle littéraire qui se forme autour de celui-ci et qui se réunit au moderne café A Brasileira. Il propose régulièrement de publier leurs créations à Alvaro Pinto, rédacteur de L'Aigle dans laquelle il prophétise la venue d'un « super Camões». À la fin de l'année, il trouve un hébergement, qu'il conservera jusqu'à la guerre, chez sa marraine et tante maternelle, Ana Luísa Pinheiro Nogueira dite « Anica ».
C'est alors, en 1913, qu'il verse dans l'ésotérisme et qu'il entame en la « personne » lusophone de Bernardo Soares, la rédaction décousue du Livre de l'intranquillité qui s'étalera également jusqu'à la mort de l'écrivain. La même revue, L'Aigle, innove en en publiant un extrait, Dans la forêt du songe, premier poème en prose portugaise, et entérine la mutation, fortement encouragée par l'amitié du poète, dramaturge et nouvelliste Mário de Sá-Carneiro, du critique en poète. Cependant une divergence grandit entre les écrivains avides d'ouverture que soutient Fernando Pessoa et la ligne nostalgiste de L'Aigle, dite « saudosismo » d'après son directeur, le poète Teixeira de Pascoaes. En deux jours, du 11 au , Fernando Pessoa reprend le manuscrit de sa pièce Le Marin qu'il destinait au public anglais dans le but de surpasser en raffinements le prix Nobel de littérature Maurice Maeterlinck, ce à quoi il parvient excessivement.
En février 1914, Renascença (« Renaissance ») publie dans ce qui fut l'unique numéro de la revue ses poèmes Impressions du crépuscule, l'un desquels, La cloche de mon village, rallie la jeune garde littéraire à la bannière d'une forme de post-symbolisme initiée par Camilo Pessanha, le ou succédentisme. Dès lors, il se sentira, comme maints de ses prédécesseurs portugais, investi d'une mission de promouvoir une sorte de révolution culturelle pour sauver la nation de la stagnation. En l'occurrence, il se fait une religion de l'intersectionnisme ou « sensationnisme à deux dimensions », application à la littérature du simultanéisme qu'avaient expérimentée Apollinaire et Sá-Carneiro. Le , lui apparait au cours d'une transe « l'hétéronyme » Alberto Caeiro, syncope de Carneiro, qui, pendant plusieurs jours, lui dicte en portugais les trente neuf poèmes en vers libres du Gardeur de troupeau. Suivront les deux disciples de cette allégorie du Poète, le Portuan Ricardo Reis, figure intellectuelle auteur des Odes, et le judéo-algarvois Alvaro de Campos, Aubéron des Champs, écrivain du cœur qui lui rédigera « sans pause ni rature » les quelque mille vers de l'Ode maritime.
Le génie du modernisme (1915-1919)
L'effervescence du moment est amplifiée par le retour consécutif à l'entrée en guerre de la France d'une jeunesse exilée, durant le régime de João Franco, à Paris où elle a vécu les expériences d'un surréalisme naissant.
Le , avec son alter ego Mário de Sá-Carneiro et l'argent du père de celui-ci, ainsi que d'autres artistes engagés contre les mouvements réactionnaires opposés ou favorables à la Première République, Fernando Pessoa lance la revue Orpheu, référence à l'orphisme. Plus qu'une revue moderne et plus qu'un objet d'art, Orpheu se veut un acte créateur et même l'art en acte. Calligrammes, vers libres, détournement de la ponctuation, éclectisme de l'orthographe et des styles, néologismes, archaïsmes, anachronismes, ruptures et synchronie du discours, paradoxes amphigouriques et antithèses ironiques, ekphrâsis à satiété, interjections, pornographie et allusions homosexuelles, outrances déclenchent le fracas dans toute la presse lisboète et jusqu'en province. L'avant-gardisme provocateur et suicidaire de la revue, la dénonciation d'une sexualité bourgeoise et hypocrite, le défi lancé à une littérature compassée et conformiste, le mépris affiché pour une critique étouffante choquent tant celle-ci que le public et révèlent au sein de la rédaction des clivages politiques envenimés par une diatribe de Fernando Pessoa contre le chef du Parti Républicain, Afonso Costa. C'est à cette occasion qu'il « tue » le maître sensationniste Alberto Caeiro. Malgré les maquettes qu'il s'obstinera à concevoir, la revue ne survit pas à l'opposition du pseudo éditeur, et au suicide dandy de Mário de Sá-Carneiro. Elle ne comptera que deux numéros (premier et deuxième trimestre 1915 ; le troisième numéro imprimé ne fut pas diffusé).
En septembre 1917, en pleine guerre, Alvaro de Campos, inspiré par le Manifeste du futurisme du nationaliste italien Marinetti, appelle, par un Ultimatum aux générations futuristes portugaises du publié dans le premier et dernier numéro de la revue , au renvoi de tous les « mandarins » européens et à l'avènement d'une civilisation technicienne de surhommes. Quelques mois après, en 1918, parce qu'ils contiennent des insultes tant contre les Alliés que contre le Portugal qui attisent les divisions entre germanophiles et républicains, la police de Sidónio Pais, dans les suites de l'arrestation d'Afonso Costa et du coup d'état du que pourtant Fernando Pessoa approuve, saisit les exemplaires restants et poursuit les auteurs au prétexte qu'un des dix poèmes d'Almada Negreiros y figurant, Apologie du triangle féminin, est pornographique. Inversement, Antinoüs, poésie où passion charnelle et spiritualité s'entremêlent, et 35 sonnets, plus élizabethains que Shakespeare lui-même et tout empreints de métaphysique, valent à Fernando Pessoa une critique élogieuse venue de Londres.
L'écrivain mélancolique (1920-1928)
En 1920, il s'installe à , un quartier de Lisbonne, au 16 rue Coelho da Rocha, avec sa mère invalide devenue une seconde fois veuve et bientôt reléguée dans un hospice de Buraca, campagne du nord-ouest de Lisbonne. Il déserte désormais le café A Brasileira pour l'antique café Martinho da Arcada, place du Commerce. Une correspondance amoureuse et une relation intense avec une secrétaire de dix-neuf ans très entreprenante rencontrée en janvier chez un de ses employeurs, Ofélia Queiroz, coïncide avec un état qui lui fait envisager son propre internement et se solde en octobre par la rupture.
La prestigieuse revue londonienne Athenaeum avait publié le de cette année Meantime, un des cinquante-deux poèmes de The Mad Fiddler qui avait été refusé en 1917, classant ainsi son auteur au Parnasse anglais. L'année suivante, il fonde avec deux amis la librairie Olisipo qui opère également comme maison d'édition. Celle-ci publie English Poems en trois séries. À partir de 1922, il donne de nombreux textes à la revue littéraire Contemporâneadont Le banquier anarchiste, brûlot à l'humour provocateur fustigeant tant l'ordre bourgeois que l'intellectualisme des révolutionnaires. Destinée à une traduction anglaise, ce fut la seule œuvre que l'auteur considéra comme achevée quoique la naïveté de sa construction la fit dédaigner des spécialistes. En octobre 1924, il fonde avec Ruy Vaz la revue de poésie Athena dans laquelle il continue de publier mais en portugais.
Le , il perd sa mère, dont il ne désespérera jamais retrouver par delà la mort l'affection éteinte par la maladie, renonce à poursuivre sa revue Athena, et c'est sa première demi-sœur Henriqueta et son beau-frère, le colonel Caetano Dias, qui viennent habiter avec lui. En 1926, alors qu'il envisage à son tour le suicide, un de ses demi-frères le fait venir à ses côtés à la direction de la Revue de Commerce et de Comptabilité.
À partir de 1927, il est, avec maints de ses jeunes admirateurs, un des collaborateurs de la nouvelle revue , laquelle revendique la ligne moderne de l'éphémère revue Orpheu. En 1928, il publie dans la brochure gouvernementale L'interrègne une Justification de la dictature militaire au Portugal, appelant à la remise en ordre du pays et soutenant la répression militaire de février 1927, position qu'il regrettera et reniera après l'instauration de la dictature civile. Alvaro de Campos écrit son désenchantement ironique dans Bureau de tabac et lui-même entame à partir de son poème Mer portugaise publié en 1922 dans Contemporânea la rédaction de ce qui deviendra Message.
Fidèle à l'esthétique paronomastique du futurisme que lui avait fait partager Mário de Sá-Carneiro de trouver la poésie dans la réclame, il forge cette même année le slogan pour Coca-Cola nouvellement implanté au Portugal. Il concevra aussi la publicité d'une laque pour carrosseries d'automobiles.
Approfondissements intérieurs (1929-1935)
En septembre 1929, il renoue avec Ofélia, seule histoire d'amour qui lui soit connue, mais leur liaison ne connaîtra pas de suite après 1931. En septembre 1930, il rencontre, en tant que disciple gnostique de la société secrète dite de l'Ordre des Templiers, le thélémite Aleister Crowley, qu'il avait impressionné au cours de leur correspondance par son érudition astrologique, alors que celui-ci est de passage en compagnie d'une « magicienne » de dix-neuf ans, Hanni Larissa Jaeger. La farce du faux suicide de son hôte à la à Cascais, rivage prédestiné à l'ouest de Lisbonne, est tout à fait dans l'esprit mystificateur du poète et devait servir, en alertant toutes les polices d'Europe, au lancement d'une série de romans policiers qui restera à l'état d'ébauche, les enquêtes du Docteur Quaresma, déchiffreur qui se seraient voulues une méthode d'investigation de la criminalité de l'homme. Fernando Pessoa fait l'objet d'un article paru à Paris.
En 1931, il écrit Autopsychographie, art poétique en trois quatrains. Il observe la mode du « freudisme » auquel il reproche de rabaisser l'homme au sexe tout en prétendant dépasser la psychanalyse et conçoit une nouvelle en forme d'étude psychiatrique, Marcos Alves. Sa candidature au poste de bibliothécaire du musée de Cascais est rejetée en 1932. En 1933, paraissent les premières traductions de ses textes. Dans un poème, il rationalise son sentiment d'une vie double, l'une rêvée et vraie, l'autre vécue et fausse.
En 1934, il publie son premier recueil en portugais, Message. Ces quarante cinq poèmes mystiques composent en trois parties une sorte d'épopée rosicrucienne dont le messianisme sébastianiste prophétise une humanité nouvelle et l'avénement du « Cinquième Empire de paix universelle ». Présentés par ses soins au jury du fondé l'année précédente par l'ex-éditeur de la revue Orpheu, devenu chef de la propagande de l'Estado Novo, ils lui valent de remporter le second prix, sa création étant jugée trop éparse pour un premier prix.
À la suite d'un projet de loi d'interdire les sociétés secrètes, il publie dans la presse une défense de la franc-maçonnerie et des pamphlets contre Salazar. L'année suivante, il refuse d'assister à la cérémonie de remise de son prix présidée par celui-ci. En octobre, en guise de protestation contre la censure, il décide de cesser de publier au Portugal.
Maladie et mort (1935)
Un mois et demi plus tard, le , jour de son admission à l'hôpital Saint-Louis des Français pour une cirrhose du foie décompensée, il écrivait son dernier mot, I know not what tomorrow will bring
.
Il meurt le lendemain, le de cette maladie, pauvre et méconnu du grand public, estimé d'un petit cercle d'amis.
Ses œuvres complètes seront éditées de 1942 à 1946. Des recherches plus complexes ont permis de faire resurgir son théâtre en 1952 et des inédits en 1955 et 1956. L'inventaire dressé par la Bibliothèque nationale du Portugal à la suite de son achat, à l'hiver 1978-1979, des manuscrits aux héritiers a permis de composer un certain nombre de publications dont Le Livre de l'intranquillité en 1982 et Faust en 1988. Les articles publiés de son vivant ainsi que les manuscrits inédits font l'objet de reconstitutions qui paraissent sous formes d'essais ou de recueils.
L'homme fait œuvre
Hétéronymie
Pessoa a créé une œuvre poétique multiple et complexe sous différents hétéronymes en sus de son propre nom. Chacun de ces hétéronymes étant identifié par un style et une production personnels.
L'auteur utilisera au cours de sa carrière de nombreux hétéronymes et pseudonymes :
Alberto Caeiro, qui incarne la nature et la sagesse païenne ;
Ricardo Reis, l'épicurisme à la manière d'Horace ;
Alvaro de Campos, le « modernisme » et la désillusion ;
Bernardo Soares, modeste employé de bureau à la vie insignifiante s'il n'était l'auteur du Livre de l'intranquillité ;
et au moins soixante-douze alias en incluant les simples pseudonymes et semi-hétéronymes.
Bernardo Soares est considéré par lui comme son semi-hétéronyme, plus proche de l'auteur orthonyme. Il signe aussi quelques textes en prose sous son propre nom, comme Le Banquier anarchiste. L'hétéronymie deviendra sa façon d'être. De multiples autres hétéronymes auront des fonctions diverses, de l'astrologie à l'auteur de rébus.
Il reste que les grands hétéronymes littéraires auront une telle force, seront à l'origine d'une création littéraire si unique que l'auteur leur trouvera même à chacun une biographie justifiant leurs différences. Fernando Pessoa deviendra « le cas Pessoa » pour grand nombre d'intellectuels, de critiques, de littérateurs, de simples lecteurs.
Dans son poème Song of Myself, le poète Walt Whitman avait exprimé une impression similaire : .
Une œuvre transocéanique
Prolifique et protéiforme, Pessoa est un auteur majeur de la littérature de langue portugaise dont le succès mondial croissant depuis les années quatre-vingt a été consacré par la Pléiade. Son œuvre, dont de nombreux textes écrits directement en anglais, a été traduite dans un grand nombre de langues, des langues européennes au chinois. Des hommes de théâtre, des chorégraphes, des compositeurs se sont désormais emparés de cette œuvre très riche pour des spectacles. Le cinéma également a produit des films inspirés par ce poète.
Pessoa a la singularité d'être simultanément un écrivain anglophone. En volume, approximativement un dixième de sa production est anglaise, nonobstant l'apport qualitatif de cette production à la littérature. Élevé à Durban, capitale du Natal britannique, brillantissime diplômé de l'université du Cap de Bonne-Espérance en Afrique du Sud, c'est en tant que dramaturge shakespearien qu'il y commence en 1904 le métier d'écrivain et en tant que poète anglais qu'il le poursuit jusqu'en 1921 dans sa Lisbonne natale. De son vivant, sa production en portugais a été principalement celle d'un critique et les poèmes portugais qu'il a alors donnés l'ont été bien souvent pour le service de cette critique.
Pessoa a aussi écrit, souvent à des dates inconnues, en français, langue de la relation privilégiée avec une mère réinventée par delà les conflits familiaux. Cinq dossiers de ses archives regroupent ses poèmes français, sa prose française et les traductions qu'il a faites de ses poèmes anglais. De cette production, seuls trois poèmes ont été publiés : Trois chansons mortes , Aux volets clos de ton rêve épanoui, Le Sourire de tes yeux bleus. Les poèmes français de Pessoa, tel Je vous ai trouvé, ressemblent plus souvent à des chansons.
Le portugais deviendra, cependant, la langue de sa grande créativité, la perfection de son anglais donnant en revanche à celui-ci un air factice. Il affirmera avec force « ma patrie est la langue portugaise » alors même qu'il ne cessera de penser en anglais, passant naturellement d'une langue à l'autre au cours d'un même écrit.
Écrivain posthume
De son vivant, Fernando Pessoa a régulièrement écrit dans des revues littéraires portugaises dont celles qu'il a créées. En outre, il a fait paraître en anglais deux ouvrages mais sa mort prématurée ne lui a laissé le temps de publier qu'un seul livre en portugais, qui eut toutefois un succès retentissant : le recueil de poèmes Message, en 1934.
À sa mort, on découvrit, enfouis dans une malle, textes que l'on a exhumés peu à peu. Le Livre de l'intranquillité n'a été publié qu'en 1982 et son Faust en 1988. Tous ces manuscrits se trouvent depuis 1979 à la Bibliothèque nationale de Lisbonne.
Son apport à la langue portugaise a été comparé au cours de l'hommage national officiel rendu le jour anniversaire de sa naissance, en 1988, à celui de Luís de Camões.
Le nom ou l'image-symbole de Fernando Pessoa ont été donnés à de nombreuses institutions portugaises. Depuis 1996, il existe une université Fernando Pessoa à Porto.

Porcelain Veneers are the ideal choice for improving your smile, and they have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility. Placing custom veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail. Dr. Browne routinely places veneers, and she designs each case individually to match and enhance the characteristics of each patient's smile.
NOTE: It is important to understand that veneers are cosmetic only, they do not fix issues such as decay. Any other issues such as decay or gum disease need to be addressed prior to even considering veneers.
Exam – We examine your teeth to see if veneers are right for you.
Photos – We also take digital photos of your mouth.
Digital Mock-up – Using imaging software, we enhance the digital photos of your mouth to show how your smile will look with the addition of veneers.
Decision – The entire purpose of the first visit is to allow us to give you everything that you need in order to make an informed decision on whether or not to proceed. Once you make your decision, we schedule your second appointment.
Prepare Surface of Teeth – On your second visit, we prepare your teeth for the veneers. In order to make room for the veneers, we remove about ½ millimeter of enamel from the surface of each tooth that will receive a veneer.
Impressions – Next, we take impressions of your tooth or teeth to send to the lab to create the veneers.
Lab – We send the impressions to the lab for them to create the veneers. Fabrication usually takes one to two weeks.
Temporary Veneers – Before you leave from your second appointment, we put temporary veneers on your teeth.
Check Fit & Color – When your veneers are ready, you return and we temporarily place the veneers on your teeth to check the fit and color matching.
Trim – We trim and adjust the veneers as needed.
Clean – We clean all of your teeth, and we etch (etching creates a stronger bond) those to receive the veneers.
Cement – We then cement the veneers onto your teeth and a special light is used to rapidly cure the cement.
Final Adjustments – After a couple of final adjustments, you are good to go with your brand new smile!
Are you ready to find out whether porcelain veneers are right for you? Please call our office (406) 442-0282 or contact us today for an appointment with Dr. Browne at Montana Roots Dental Care in Helena, MT.
Veneers do not require any special care, just typical good hygiene. Continue brushing and flossing as you did before. You may notice a slight difference in the feel of your teeth after the placement of veneers due to the change in thickness from your teeth. If you care for the teeth they are on, veneers will typically last a decade or more.
What Is The Difference Between A Porcelain Veneer And A Ceramic Veneer?
If you have ever been confused by porcelain and ceramic, you are not the only one! While there is a difference between ceramic and porcelain in our everyday life, in dentistry when someone refers to ceramic material, they are referring to porcelain. Dental-grade porcelain is a ceramic that is made from a more highly refined clay material than the clay used to make non-dental ceramics.
Just remember that in dentistry, ceramic veneers and porcelain veneers are two ways of describing the same thing — a beautiful tooth-like material that is placed over the front part of your teeth to give you a smile you will want to show everyone!
This is another very common question that we get asked. The truth is they are very similar, and some dentists might even say they are the same thing. But, at Montana Roots Dental Care, we want to make sure you understand the difference between the two.
Require less tooth to be trimmed away than a crown. In some cases, a veneer can be applied with virtually no tooth structure removed.
Are applied to teeth whose underlying tooth structure is intact and healthy.
Are typically used in scenarios where the underlying tooth needs to be rebuilt because it is badly broken or decayed.
Require that you trim away a significant portion of the tooth, so once a crown is placed on a tooth it will always be required.
Dr. Browne will ensure that your veneers are crafted from the highest quality ceramics and that they are bonded with the most advanced durable materials available. Refraining from using your veneers as tools to open and cut things will prolong their life.
If accidental damage occurs to the veneers, it is usually possible to replace only the veneer involved.
The amount of time a veneer can last depends on the individual patient. The average lifespan of a veneer is approximately 10-15 years.
If you are interested in getting veneers, please call our office (406) 442-0282 or contact us, and we can schedule an appointment to develop a plan of care.

The double-decker is promoting the Venus Women in Business Awards for Dorset which is still accepting nominations of deserving local business women until June 13, 2016.
A red carpet is not the usual thing you would find in the middle of the Yellow Buses transport yard and apart from the photo shoot each lady was otherwise resplendent in an array of fluorescent his-vis waistcoats!
Main picture (L-R): Sharon Canning, Julie Cook-Hughes, Caroline Swaine, Lisa Delahunty, Barbara Fowler and Barbara Cox.
The Awards are organised by Tara Howard (pictured infront of the car) and generously sponsored by a host of local businesses, including: Mercedes-Benz of Poole, Play Golf Bournemouth, Heart FM, Atlas Elektronic UK, Yellow Buses (RAPT Group), Dutton Gregory Solicitors, Bournemouth University, Daily Echo, Exterion Media, Tigerlilly Nails, Enhanced, Move On, Interlink Express, Ratio, Ash Elite, MPloy, Bizpedia, Boo and Talbot Heath School for Girls.
Many thanks to the ladies at Yellow Buses for their hospitality on a damp day.
Now that Spring has sprung, the wedding season is properly underway with events across the country giving Brides & (modern) Grooms inspiration and advice on "W-Day"!
My Weddinglog features in many of these events and offers the chance to win one of the beautiful keepsake chests for those who fall in love with it too!
May is quite literally marvellous for Bride-to-be Heather Young and her Groom Andrew Wilkins, who won the competition at the Britannia Royal Bath Hotel yesterday. We'd like to remind them that there is a "frame" waiting for their favourite photo of the wedding in our Hall of Fame and wish them many happy memories to fill it with. | {

NM needs 1,054 more educators, report says
By Shelby Perea / Journal Staff Writer
Sunday, November 3rd, 2019 at 9:57pm
There are 1,054 educator vacancies in the state, and 644 of those are teacher positions. While teacher vacancies are down 13% from last year, research experts still warn the vacancy levels are substantial.
Rachel Boren, director of Southwest Outreach Academic Research Evaluation and Policy Center, said the teacher vacancy rates have a considerable impact on students.
"That translates to several thousand students who started the school year without a permanent teacher," she told the Journal.
Last year, 740 of the total 1,173 educator openings were for teaching positions, though the 2019 report didn't include every position from last year's.
The state vacancy data comes from the 2019 New Mexico Educator Vacancy Report, which is prepared by the New Mexico State University College of Education Southwest Outreach Academic Research Evaluation and Policy Center.
The numbers, which don't include state charter or private schools, show openings as of Sept. 23.
Pool of prospects shrinking
Fewer people are going into the profession, which is one cause of the teacher shortage, according to the report.
During the 2018-19 academic year, 746 students completed an educator preparation program – 97 people fewer than last year.
"There remains a continued decrease in the number of completers," the report says.
Ten years ago, there were over 1,000 prospective teachers who completed a program.
Susan Brown, interim dean of NMSU's college of education, said there are several reasons for the decline.
Some salaries were so low that starting teachers went to a school food bank to get by, said Brown, who taught for about 15 years.
She also said a reputation for low salaries, along with lack of respect for teachers, drives people away from the profession.
"It's scary when you look at 20 years ago. We would have like 150 student teachers and now we have 50," Brown said. "It's so low and that's why we have all these vacancies."
A boost in teacher salaries and a new wave of education policy are making the interim dean optimistic.
Teacher salary minimums were bumped to $41,000, $50,000 and $60,000 for levels one, two and three teachers respectively; previously, the prior was $36,000.
Elementary, special ed teachers needed
The biggest need was for elementary and special education teachers, according to the report. Out of the 644 teacher vacancies, 173 were for elementary teachers, and 151 were for special education teachers.
Half of the open teaching positions in the state are for elementary and special education
"These were areas of high need in last year's vacancy report as well, suggesting additional efforts to recruit and retain these teachers is needed," the report says.
Broken down by subject, the largest needs in the state are in math, English and science. Teachers for these subjects were also needed last year.
Vacancies by region
Boren said the teacher shortage is statewide.
"This is an issue all over the state in every region, even the big and even the smaller ones," Boren said.
• The central region of the state, which includes large districts such as Albuquerque and Santa Fe Public Schools, had 309 of the 644 teacher vacancies. That's down from last year's 400.
• The northeast and northwest – including Las Vegas City Schools and Gallup-McKinley County Schools – saw a decrease from 181 total vacancies to 123.
• The southeast, which includes Alamogordo Public Schools and Carlsbad Municipal Schools, had a 25% uptick in vacancies from last year, with 147 openings.
• The southwest, including Las Cruces Public Schools and the Gadsden Independent School District, had a 59% increase in teacher openings from the year prior, with 65 openings this year.

Russia has spread a new fake about "American bio-laboratories" in Ukraine: allegedly putting experiments on the military, turning them into "deadly monsters"
Post author: Konstantyn Sivko
The Russian authorities invented another fake about Ukraine. Now the myth of allegedly operating in the country "biolaboratoriums" has been supplemented with "experiments" on Ukrainian soldiers, as a result of which they "turn into monsters."
This was reported by the propaganda publication Kommersant with reference to the report of the parliamentary commission for the investigation of the activities of American biolaboratoriums in Ukraine.
According to the speaker of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev, a blood collection test from captured Ukrainian servicemen confirms that "for a number of diseases, including atypical ones for the territory of Ukraine, the content of the relevant substances exceeds the permissible standards by many times."
The State Duma claims that 20% of blood samples of Ukrainian prisoners "were found to have West Nile fever "/REUTERS
Ukrainian soldiers were allegedly "experimented" and "conducted experiments on extremely dangerous diseases," which can "spread for military purposes."
Moreover, the State Duma claims that 20% of the studied blood samples of Ukrainian prisoners "were detected West Nile fever."
Russia says that the "system of control and creation of the most cruel killing machine" was allegedly implemented under the control of the United States.
"And the doping that they are still given in order to neutralize the last traces of human consciousness and turn them into the most cruel and deadly monsters, also confirms this," said State Duma Speaker Irina Yarova.
Fakes of Russia about the "biolaboratory of the United States" in Ukraine
The Russian Federation is spreading false information about the manufacture of weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine called disinformation and provocation statements of the Russian Federation on the creation of biological weapons in Ukraine.
Also, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine denied the information of rospropaganda about the alleged "emergency cleaning of traces of a military biological program funded by the US Department of Defense" and "the destruction of particularly dangerous pathogens." They explained that there are no American laboratories on the territory of our state.
Regarding the same bio-laboratories, the Russian Federation even tried to organize an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council. Allegedly, Moscow received "new documents" to confirm its information after the capture of certain territories of Ukraine.
The Center for Countering Disinformation at the NSDC of Ukraine at the end of March reported that the Russian Federation is changing its rhetoric regarding the so-called "US biolaboratoriums" in Ukraine. The NSDC believes that all this may indicate that Russia does not have new resources to create more convincing propaganda. | {

In late 2016, President Barack Obama designated 1.35 million acres of public lands in southeastern Utah as Bears Ears National Monument. On December 4, 2017, President Donald Trump shrank the monument by 85 percent. A land rich in human history and unsurpassed in natural beauty, Bears Ears is at the heart of a national debate over the future of public lands.
Through the stories of twenty individuals, and informed by interviews with more than seventy people, Voices from Bears Ears captures the passions of those who fought to protect Bears Ears and those who opposed the monument as a federal "land grab" that threatened to rob them of their economic future. It gives voice to those who have felt silenced, ignored, or disrespected. It shares stories of those who celebrate a growing movement by Indigenous peoples to protect ancestral lands and culture, and those who speak devotedly about their Mormon heritage. What unites these individuals is a reverence for a homeland that defines their cultural and spiritual identity, and therein lies hope for finding common ground.
Journalist Rebecca Robinson provides context and perspective for understanding the ongoing debate and humanizes the abstract issues at the center of the debate. Interwoven with these stories are photographs of the interviewees and the land they consider sacred by photographer Stephen E. Strom. Through word and image, Robinson and Strom allow us to both hear and see the people whose lives are intertwined with this special place.
For more about this singular landscape, see Bears Ears by Stephen E. Strom, which captures the beauty of Bears Ears country in all seasons, its textural subtleties portrayed alongside the drama of expansive landscapes and skies, deep canyons, spires, and towering mesas. To photographer Stephen E. Strom's sensitive eyes, a scrub oak on a hillside or a pattern in windswept sand is as essential to capturing the spirit of the landscape as the region's most iconic vistas. Years from now, this book may serve as either a celebration of the foresight of visionary leaders or as an elegy for what was lost.
"Here is an important breakthrough book—beautiful to look at and heartening to read. By listening keenly to the people whose roots go deep into the swirling sandstone of Bears Ears country, by looking respectfully into the faces of the high cliffs and the equally expressive faces of the people who love this land, Robinson and Strom give us an impressive example of what it will take to find common ground."—Kathleen Dean Moore, author of Great Tide Rising
"Protection of Bears Ears as a sacred cultural landscape was an historic step forward, a watershed moment too quickly shattered. This insightful book keeps a deep conversation between land and people alive and provides hope that western culture will continue that dialogue as we learn to honor and respect sacred lands."—Christopher "Toby" McLeod, Sacred Land Film Project

American Theater Company Updated 2016-17 Season
July 28, 2016 Michael J. Roberts
American Theater Company (ATC) has restructured its 2016-17 Season and will present three of four previously announced plays, with an updated production schedule. Additionally, ATC will launch a new Open Residency Program for Chicago performance artists this fall. Led by newly appointed Artistic Director Will Davis, Season 32 includes: the regional premiere of Jaclyn Backhaus' Men On Boats under Davis' direction, Jan. 6-Feb. 12, 2017, immediately following its current Off Broadway run at Playwrights Horizons; a reimagined classic, Pulitzer Prize winnerPicnic by William Inge, directed by Davis, March 17-April 23, 2017; and the world premiere of Dan Aibel's T., an exploration of the competitive ice skating saga between Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding, directed by Margot Bordelon, May 19-June 25, 2017. The world premiere of Basil Kreimendahl's We're Gonna Be Okay will be presented as part of ATC's 2017-18 Season.
"ATC remains fully committed to the projects and artists we've invited to work with us, and we will produce all four of those works on a restructured timeline between this season and next," says Artistic Director Will Davis. "As the incoming artistic director, it is my job and privilege to shepherd ATC into its next chapter, which must be defined not just by virtuosic artistry but also by fiscal responsibility. It is imperative that I consider this moment of transition carefully to ensure that the work being made in our small but mighty warehouse continues to grow over my tenure, and this season that means we will reimagine our producing footprint. I intend for ATC to be a thriving non-profit and a home base for powerful new works for the American Theater."
This fall, ATC will host a new residency program for the Chicago performance community, the Open Residency Program. The Residency is interdisciplinary and open to project proposals in all stages of development. Accepted artists will be awarded rehearsal hours and a presentation slot at ATC at the end of their residency. More details and a call for proposals for ATC's Open Residency Program will be released next month.
"I see my role as Artistic Director to act as the host to as many artists as possible and to share our space with the community," Davis continues. "I took this job because I am interested throwing open the doors at ATC and inviting theater makers into an artistic dialogue about how we are making new work for the American theater."
Season subscriptions are on sale now and range from $40-$112.50, with special pricing available for members under the age of 35 and advance purchases before August 31, 2016. To purchase a subscription or for more information, visit www.atcweb.org or call the ATC Box Office at 773-409-4125. Current subscribers will be contacted directly by ATC with ticket exchange options, and will receive complimentary priority seating to an Open Residency performance.
ATC remains committed to its season-long partnership with Chicago Inclusion Project, whose work creates inclusive theater experiences that bring together Chicago artists and audiences normally separated by physical ability, gender identity and/or ethnic background. The two companies will partner on casting, giving diverse theater artists access to roles they might traditionally have been excluded from. Together with the Chicago Inclusion Project, ATC will continue its commitment to presenting works that boldly reflect the diversity of stories and experiences in America today.
Past world premiere productions at ATC include Stephen Karam's Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-nominated The Humans and Ayad Akhtar's Pulitzer Prize-winning Disgraced, both of which enjoyed acclaimed Broadway runs. Last spring ATC presented the world premiere of The Project(s), a documentary play about Chicago's public housing residents written by late Artistic Director PJ Paparelli and Joshua Jaeger. In the 2015-16 Season, ATC produced the co-world premiere of Thomas Bradshaw's Fulfillment with The Flea Theater in New York and the world premiere of Bruise Easy by Dan LeFranc, playwright of ATC's blockbuster world premiere The Big Meal, which went on to an acclaimed Off Broadway run at Playwrights Horizons.
AMERICAN THEATER COMPANY'S SEASON 32:
Regional Premiere
Men On Boats
Written by Jaclyn Backhaus
Directed by Will Davis
January 6–February 12, 2017
Ten explorers set out on four boats to map the raging rapids of the Green and Colorado Rivers on the government's first sanctioned expedition in the American West. Playwright Jaclyn Backhaus and director Will Davis team up again on this play, originally produced by Clubbed Thumb and returning to Playwrights Horizons in New York this summer, in Davis' first production as ATC's artistic director. Performed by a genderfluid cast of women and folks otherwise defined, Men On Boats takes back 1869.
Written by William Inge
Closeted and dogged by an acute sense of failure for most of his life until he ended it, William Inge wrote some of the great lyrical plays of the American mid-century, and Picnic was his masterpiece, his playground and, quite possibly, his fantasy. In this loving reimagining, ATC Artistic Director Will Davis puts Inge at the center of his Pulitzer Prize-winning play and animates what is both sacred and profane about small town life against the backdrop of dust bowl hymns and love songs. Part séance, part love letter to a ghost, this Picnic explores a life lived at the periphery of one's own desire.
Written by Dan Aibel
Directed by Margot Bordelon
May 19–June 25, 2017
"Ice Follies" read the cover of Time Magazine on January 24, 1994, after ice skating medalist favorite Nancy Kerrigan was struck in the leg with a police baton by Shane Stant. In his darkly funny and unrelenting play, Dan Aibel explores the lengths one will go to for fame. Margot Bordelon returns to Chicago to direct this world premiere play named for Tonya Harding, the first woman ever to complete a triple axel jump in competition. Nancy Kerrigan never saw her coming.

Nakamura Kantaro, Maeda Ai to Marry
January 7, 2009 - tokyoguy
Kabuki actor Nakamura Kantaro (27) yesterday for the first time acknowledged his romantic relationship with actress Maeda Ai (25), and added that they plan to get married in the autumn. The actor was attending a PR event for his latest movie, held at a Shinto shrine in central Tokyo. In "Zen" Nakamura plays the famous monk Dougen (1200-1253). In accordance with tradition, yesterday's news should not have come out until after the one-year mourning period for Maeda's mother, who died on January 16 of last year. Nakamura's father and fellow kabuki star Kanzaburo (53), meeting the press after a performance at the Kabukiza theater in Tokyo, said the media had got hold of the news earlier than his family had planned. He said he would be meeting with Maeda's father on the 17th of this month to discuss the wedding, which is likely to be a big showbiz event. The couple's relationship began in 2001 when they appeared together in the NHK drama "Hikari no Teikoku."
• A roundup of other New Year wedding news…Former top Takarazuka star Aika Mire (44) announced on her blog that she got married at one minute past one o'clock on January 1. According to her management agency, her new husband is ten years younger and runs a sports clinic in Tokyo. Aika revealed in March 2008 that she was battling with cancer and dropped out of a scheduled theater production. But she made a full recovery and returned to the stage last August.
Actress Hatano Hiroko (33) and J-Leaguer Suzuki Keita (27) held their wedding ceremony and reception at the Peninsula Tokyo hotel on January 4. Hatano is expecting a baby in April.
Earlier story: Hatano Hiroko, Suzuki Keita to Wed
Popular TV Asahi sports announcer Shindo Junya (31) is engaged to get married, according to the Sports Hochi newspaper. He and an airline company employee plan to tie the knot in the spring.
• Not so happy news for actress Tomosaka Rie (29), who divorced from actor Kawahara Masahiko (39) on New Year's Eve. The two met when they worked together in a stage production in 2000. They married in April 2003 and have a 4-year-old son.
• Guitarist Inoue Takayuki (67) has announced his retirement from the music business. A spokesman for his management agency said Inoue had been struggling with the question of how to live out his twilight years for some time, and made his decision on New Year's Day. He has been suffering from emphysema, which has made it difficult for him to sing. A concert scheduled for next month has been canceled. Inoue made his name as a founding member of Japan's top 1960s group the Spiders, who opened for the Beatles. After the band split in 1971, he and fellow member Ohno Katsuo joined with members of the Tigers, another top band of the 60s, to form PYG. He later had several hits with the Inoue Takayuki Band, including the theme for the hugely popular TV series "Taiyo ni Hoero!" | {

'Babies like this die within eight hours' - by As told to Emma Levett
Yasmine became a mother in a truly shocking way.
Here, Yasmine, 32, tells the story in her own words.
It was my first day as a volunteer when my life changed forever.
Walking into the children's home, I bumped into the owner who was holding something.'Morning,' she said. 'Can you hold her for a minute?' Placing the 'something' on my lap, I saw it was a newborn baby. She'd been found under a bush wrapped in a plastic bag. It sounds crazy but I wasn't that shocked. Moving to Kenya to volunteer at an orphanage, I knew this stuff happened. Babies were often abandoned due to extreme poverty, tribalism and general lack of support. As I tentatively held her, the bub suddenly opened her eyes. She looked up at me and I was completely taken aback. At age 25, and never having thought about wanting a baby, a wave of maternal instinct hit me. As I sat staring back at her, a beautiful relationship was beginning.
Over the next week, I was drawn to the baby, who was named Precious. I tried to tell myself not to get too close to the bub, but I couldn't help myself. 'I think I need to adopt her,' I told my mum, Jennie, on the phone one night. Of course, she thought I was crazy! But she was also supportive, knowing I wasn't the kind of person to decide something like this on a whim. 'I can't leave her. She's so special,' I said. But this was about to be tested to the max. A week after her arrival, Precious got very sick with vomiting and diarrhoea. The doctor told me she'd become septic after her umbilical cord hadn't been cleaned properly. 'Babies like this die within eight hours,' he told me. 'She's an unclaimed baby and not worth treating.' Looking at him in horror I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Furious, I said I'd pay to have her admitted. I didn't have much, but I wasn't about to give up on Precious.
Me, Precious and my mum Jennie
At first, she seemed to be on the mend, but a week later she was rushed to ICU with severe dehydration. 'What am I going to do?' I sobbed to Mum, a GP, on the phone. 'There's no way she can survive,' she told me gently. 'Give her a good death. Hold her and tell her she's loved.' Picking Precious up to do just that, I realised I couldn't. 'I'm going to be your mum,' I told her. 'You fight and I promise I'll be there.' That night, I held one of her little socks and prayed. Hours later, something miraculous happened. 'She's wriggling around. I think she's going to be okay,' a doctor told me. I'd spent all of my savings keeping Precious alive. She'd kept her side of the bargain, now I had to keep mine. I needed to live in Kenya for three years to be able to adopt her, so that's what I did.
Firstly, I helped at local children's homes, but sick of witnessing abuse and neglect, I began to think I could do better myself. 'They keep the kids in terrible conditions so they get more cash from tourists,' I explained to Mum. Having done my research, I knew orphanages weren't a good place for children to grow up. Ideally, they needed a loving family, but I had to do something. With funding from Mum and a friend, Helen, I opened my own home, Zaidi Ya Dreams, in June 2012, and within days the police had called with our first baby. By the end of the month we had three, then 20 by the end of the year. Meanwhile, Precious grew into a lively, happy little girl. One day, when she was six, I had to turn away a baby as we were full. 'You have to take her, Mum,' Precious said. I knew she was right. 'One day she'll be big and strong like me,' Precious said. And she was right.
Precious carrying Peter - he too was not expected to live
Baby Zahara is now two and lives with us and the other 17 children we haven't been able to find homes for. I've been in Kenya seven years now. It's incredibly challenging, and finding the money to keep the home running is a constant battle. Babies are abandoned in places like long drop toilets and many have suffered abuse. I have to show their lives are worth something. Precious is seven now and I'm still waiting to formally adopt her. In the meantime we've had a visitor visa granted so I've been able to bring her to Australia.'The electricity is on all the time,' she marvels. 'But why do we stop at red traffic lights?' She loves cricket, soccer, and most of all my mum!
It's been an amazing trip but we're looking forward to going home to our big family. When Precious looked into my eyes, my life changed. I will be forever grateful she was placed into my arms.

Ruben Marcos, the founder of Scales and Models Company, decided to build a replica for the ages. 1,700 sheets of 10mm cardboard later, they had a fully functioning electric Lexus. It's not completely cardboard, but it's pretty close. The car is built on a steel and aluminum frame with an electric engine and functioning headlights, but everything else was just a step away from being a pizza box. | {
