Comedian Paul Vizri takes residence at Comedy on State for three nights, Feb. 6th - Feb 8th.

Comedian Paul Virzi talks Wisconsin, performing personal material, The Irishman, and more prior to his three-day run in Madison.
By Jordan Simon
February 6, 2020 | 3:00pm CST
The brilliantly funny Paul Virzi is set to perform a five-show run here in Madison, WI, and will be in town from Thursday, Feb. 6 to Saturday, Feb. 8. Virzi has worked with the likes of Pete Davidson, Bill Burr and Judd Apatow. He has released a critically acclaimed stand-up special, his comedy album reached #1 on iTunes, and he is preparing to shoot a second hour-long stand-up special this summer — a new hour of material which will also be performed at his comedy shows this weekend in Madison.
Virzi's genuine and honest nature resonates with fans in an impactful way, whether through his weekly Podcast, The Virzi Effect, or via his energetic stand-up gigs. He has a knack for presenting what is on his mind with a New York "tell it like it is" style which can't help but make audience members laugh.
I had the honor of speaking with Paul Virzi as he talked about his experience in Wisconsin, performing his new hour and preparing for his stand-up special, his thoughts on "The Irishman," and more.
Have you ever performed in Madison before?
"I have not, but, and I'm not just saying this, I am so thrilled to be going to Comedy on State for the first time. [One of my favorite states] in America to perform in is Wisconsin. I've decided to shoot my next special in Wisconsin this year. Early summer I'll be taping my special… I don't know exactly where it's going to land yet, but I want to do it in Wisconsin. I think the people there are incredible. I do, man, I love the people. I'm so excited to be going to Comedy on State."
What have you learned from filming your first hour-long stand-up special that you want to change, focus on, or keep the same as you prepare to shoot you second hour-long special?
"I think now on this second special… I'm going to be a little more personal on this one. This one's going to be a little more edgy and really how I feel about things where it's less holding back. Not that I held back on the first one, I did everything that I wanted to on the first one, but as I evolve as a person and a comic, now I'm just going to go onstage and just say it, and as long as I mean it and I can defend it, I'm just going to be as honest and as edgy as can be because those are the thoughts that I have, and then just making that funny. People appreciate that, and I've found that as I travel the country with this new hour, that people are just like, 'wow, this is hitting in a different way.'"
Did you find it difficult getting to a point where you could share a more intimate part of you, or does it feel good to finally let loose, and maybe a bit therapeutic to share this part of you with the world?
"I think that it's the latter. I think it's the fact that I can just let go now and just kind of say it. And I know that you just get to a point in your career where you just know that you've done it enough, that you're funny enough to even make that real thought that you're going to dive into funny. And that's kind of where I'm at. I'm just going to say it and be honest and talk about it, and just let my natural instincts of [having done] this for a while and [my] experience just take over. But it's therapeutic and it's cool and I think the audience member appreciates it."
Being a fan of "The Irishman," will you be rooting for the movie at the Oscars on Sunday?
"As far as Oscars, usually when I love a movie like that I don't really care if it wins the Oscar, only because I know that it's not 'real' if that makes sense. 'Goodfellas' lost to 'Dances with Wolves' in 1991 — that being the case I know sometimes it's like a 'who's next in line' for that award instead of really what it is.
I did like the movie. I thought the movie got a bad rap, people saying it's too long. For me, I could sit and watch those actors for six hours. I don't need cars exploding and craziness like that, I just like watching Pesci and Pacino and those guys do it one more time. But I wish them well [at the Oscars] for sure."
What was it like getting to do a live interview with Domenick Lombardozzi from "The Irishman" on The Virzi Effect podcast?
"So, Dom and I met on the set of 'The King of Staten Island,' which is the new Pete Davidson [and] Judd Apatow movie. I was only [on set] for one day and I happened to be on the lot and Bill Burr saw me – Bill Burr is a dear friend and a mentor of mine and [he's] in the movie too – and he said, 'why don't you come to my trailer.' So, we're just hanging out in the trailer, just shootin' it back and forth, and somebody knocked on the door and it was Dom and we met there. And we just became friends, and long story short he came on the Podcast telling amazing stories about being on 'Entourage' and how he got the roll in 'A Bronx Tale' when he was fifteen years old and auditioning in front of De Niro… and all the way to working on 'The Irishman.' Dom was so gracious and great. We talked about acting, we talked about other things, it was really interesting."
What was it like to work with Judd Apatow and on the set of 'The King of Staten Island'?
"Insanely amazing. To get the part in the movie, to audition for Judd and him picking me was awesome. The funny thing about that was that my lines changed the day that I was showing up. For like three months I have these lines memorized and I'm ready and I'm prepared, and on my way to the lot, I got a text message from — I think it was Pete Davidson — and he goes, 'those lines, forget it, man. Forget those lines. We're gonna re-do it'… And I'm just going like, 'what!' [But] that's kind of how Judd works, he's very loose… but he was so chill and so laid back and nice. He just took all this pressure off and he really gets the most out of the talent."
Can you talk about your experience performing at the 'Patrice O'Neal Comedy Benefit'?
"It's a great story, actually. Maureen Karen, who used to be a comedy manager for years… Maureen helped Tracy Morgan get on 'Saturday Night Live'. Maureen has helped a ton of comedians. She was a dear friend of Patrice's. She's a dear friend of Burr. Getting the nod this year [to do the benefit] was amazing because I knew that Maureen thought that it was my time to do it. Bill [Burr] said to me a couple years ago, 'hey I don't know if this one person can do it, hey Virzi if you want to do it, man, I can get you on it.' And I remember going, 'you know what, I don't want to get on it because somebody dropped out, and I don't want to get on it unless Maureen is like, 'Paul has got to be on it.'' And [Bill Burr] was like, 'you know what, fair enough.'
Fast forward three years later, Maureen has seen me grow, she saw me at [Madison Square Garden] and she just said to me, 'I've gotta get you on Patrice's benefit next year, I definitely want you on.' So, getting it the way that I got it was how I wanted to do it. But, dude, being there was insane. It reminded me of a Just for Laughs gala at the Montreal Comedy Festival where it's just monster after monster after monster, but everybody's nervous and wants to do good. And it was Cipha Sounds, Rich Vos, Sam Morrill, Judy Gold, Roy Wood Jr., Andrew Schulz, Ronny Chieng … everybody brought their A-game. Everybody was nervous for their turn but supportive of everybody else's and it was just a surreal thing, man."
Meeting Aaron Rodgers
"I performed in Green Bay … [I] opened for Burr in Green Bay, and Rodgers was cool, man. And Rodgers loves comedy. He was in the green room hanging out and he didn't want to leave, I could tell, he just enjoyed being with comics. He was so cool. And I knew he was coming so I brought an Aaron Rodgers football card for him to sign for my boy, who was eight or nine at the time. So, I was like, 'hey man will you sign this for my son, Lucas?' And he was like, 'yeah of course.' He signed it, and we were talking… and I go, 'I just [have to] thank you for that playoff win against the Cowboys where at the last second, you threw it out of bounds to set up a field goal in Dallas… and that place filed out like a funeral. And he goes, 'yeah, I did it this year too.' He did. The next year, in a regular season game, they went into Dallas and again, a last drive, he went in, he set something up, and they ended up beating them again. I'm a Giants fan, I can't stand the Cowboys, I thanked him for that, and he just smiled."

A Tight Labor Market Is Holding Small Businesses Back From Expanding in This Hot Economy
About a quarter of employers said they lowered requirements for the most-common, less-skilled positions, underscoring the idea that both skilled and unskilled workers are hard to come by in this labor market
By Kate Rogers | CNBC	• Published at 4:00 pm on May 18, 2019
Sean Gallup/Getty Images
According to the NFIB, labor quality has been the top issue for the last 16 months.
CNBC and SurveyMonkey's latest small business optimism index echoes that sentiment.
Adam Rammel is gearing up for an expansion. The co-owner of Brewfontaine, a craft beer bar in Bellefontaine, Ohio is opening up an events and catering business in a few months' time, requiring the company to nearly double its current staff of 25 workers—a tall order in a historically tight labor market.
"We are in manufacturing country and manufacturers are expanding their wages to attract workers in our area—it continues to be a challenge as we try to retain and recruit new talent, especially for our catering arm," Rammel says. "The economy has been very hot lately and that means there are opportunities elsewhere."
Tipped workers make above minimum wage, while kitchen employees bring in between $12 and $16 an hour depending on experience at the restaurant, and some employees are salaried with profit-sharing, he says. But Rammel knows he may have to up the recruitment game even more. While outright health insurance is not feasible, he's considering different health and wellness incentives for workers, as well as housing options to bring people to the area as he gets set to grow his business.

"We are trying to get out ahead of this—we want to do everything we can to make us a valuable and attractive place to want to be an employee," he says.
Kristin Ledgerwood is experiencing the same competitive crunch as she looks to grow her specialty bakery, Vivian's Gourmet. The shop is located in Evergreen, Colorado some 45 minutes outside of Denver, which puts her at a disadvantage for recruiting. She has three employees and hopes to bring on two more in the future, offering vacation time and small pay increases when she can.
But Ledgerwood admits she'd be able to expand if she could find the talent needed.
"We are at this plateau, of where we could actually increase our sales more, but we don't have the ability to because we are pretty tight on staff—everyone is maxed out on what they are able to do," Ledgerwood says.
According to the NFIB, labor quality has been the top issue for the last 16 months, shifting into that spot as the tax overhaul burden was lifted for Main Street in December 2017. The group also recently conducted a job training survey that found 22% of small employers who have hired an employee for their most-skilled position in the past two years have actually lowered the minimum requirements for applicants. In addition, about a quarter of employers said they lowered requirements for the most-common, less-skilled positions, underscoring the idea that both skilled and unskilled workers are hard to come by in this labor market.
CNBC and SurveyMonkey's latest small business optimism index echoes that sentiment, finding 52% of small businesses say it's harder to find workers today than it was a year ago. The issue has remained steady the last few quarters. That number increases to 63% for businesses with 50 or more workers.
And that's why businesses like Michael Canty's Alloy Bellows Precision & Welding is focusing on retaining the workers it has on board. The Highland Heights, Ohio-based company makes industrial bellows for oil and gas drilling, and has some 120 employees between its two facilities. Canty says he pays on average $21 an hour and offers benefits including medical and dental, along with disability and a 401k program.
He's constantly re-assessing benefits, but what he believes helps to set his small business apart is the environment and communication with workers.
"If an employee works on the floor, they know me," Canty says. "Our employees don't just work at the company, they get engaged in the company—they know what we are doing, know what our views are. When they feel engaged they feel they're a part of something bigger than they are and that's what helps to keep them along with competitive pay and benefits."
But Canty is well aware he's competing in manufacturing country like Rammel, and the workers he has trained are well-versed in skills that are highly-desirable to competitors. Keeping these workers on board is key.
"Worker retention is always the most important issue for us, because they're already here," Canty says. "They're already trained and every time an organization like ours loses a talented employee, we lose institutional knowledge as well."

Unless anybody is living under a rock, people are likely aware of the Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba. The Chinese market is well dominated by Alibaba and has created a revolution in the global economy and global trade. This company is committed to making it easy to do business anywhere and empower global SMEs.
Recently, Alibaba Company has decided to provide new business infrastructures for the people living in Pakistan. This is the reason; the company has planned a visit with company's officials. Although this isn't the first time Chinese officials are visiting Pakistan, this is the second time in just two months. According to confirmed sources, Mr. Michael Evans who is the President and Director of Alibaba will be leading the delegation. He is responsible for Alibaba group's international growth strategy in globalizing outside the country.
The delegation is expected to meet the Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif, the commerce Minister Mr. Khurram Dastagir Khan, the Minister for IT and Telecom Ms. Anusha Rehman as well as other important designates in Pakistan. The first held session of the Alibaba's officials with Pakistani Ministers would include discussion regarding finances, investment, as well as other monetary issues. The delegation, later on, is expected to meet with the IT Minister for discussing other matters regarding the company's plans for Pakistan. Sources report that Alibaba Company plans to invest around $400 million in various segments of the country but these plans will be confirmed once the officials meet with the Pakistani Ministers.

Gerald is an innocent prisoner on Texas death Row and he needs financial support to buy stamps and hygiene as well as support for proving his innocence.
Please read this site to learn how to support him.
Gregory Love – Love is the manager who set up the inside robbery.
Kenny Calliham – Kenny is a co-defendant, and testified against Gerald at his trial. He is also friends with the shooter, Ronald Worthy.
Ronald Worthy – Worthy is the person who shot Christopher Dean and Calliham's close friend.
In the early morning hours of May 11, 2003 a robbery occurred at a Whataburger on the north side of Houston Texas. During that robbery Christopher Dean was killed.
Police found no hard evidence at the crime scene to point them in the direction of the killer. There were two witnesses there at the scene, Tony Ketchum and Wilbert Marsh. Both gave statements to the police on the date of the incident, and Mr. Marsh gave another statement on May 27th, 2003.
In all three statements the robber who came in the restaurant was described as a dark-skinned male, in his 20's with a slim build, holding a shiny gun in his left hand.
Houston Police Department's first break in the investigation of the crime was an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers on May 12, 2003. The caller said that the police should focus their investigation on the Greenspoint area of Houston and look for "Bo" and "Tank". The Crime Stoppers caller identified "Bo" as the killer, and when pressed for "Bo's" address gave "Bo's" address. The caller admitted that Bo admitted to the caller that he had murdered the deceased.
In the following days Gerald "Tank" Marshall, Ronald "Bo" Worthy, Kenny Calliham and Greg Love were arrested. Police research learned that the robbery was in fact and inside job where Love would give the money over willingly and no one would get hurt. The question then became who killed Christopher Dean. Gerald Marshall or Ronald Worthy.

The Pagoda project is developing a programming system to support HPC application development using the Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) model. The first component is GASNet-EX, a portable, high-performance, global-address-space communication library. The second component is UPC++, a C++11 template library. Together, these libraries enable agile, lightweight communication such as arises in irregular applications, libraries, and frameworks running on exascale systems.
GASNet-EX leverages hardware support to implement communication primitives. UPC++ provides high-level productivity abstractions appropriate for PGAS programming such as: remote procedure call, locality-aware APIs for user-defined distributed objects, and robust support for asynchronous execution to hide communication costs. It also includes one-sided communication as a thin wrapper over GASNet-EX, delivering efficient performance.

Angels Burning by Tawni O'Dell is a very highly recommended fast-paced literary murder mystery in a contemporary setting.
In the opening of Angels Burning, Police Chief Dove Carnahan, and two of her young officers meet Detective Nolan Greely and his team from the state police Criminal Investigations Division at a horrific crime scene in an abandoned rural Pennsylvania mining town. Dove had called in the state detectives right away because she knows she will need help solving this crime. There they recover the body of a teenage girl who was beaten and her body was thrown into a burning sinkhole. Apparently this action wasn't disposing of the body sufficiently for the perpetrators, so an accelerant was used, leaving the top half of her body burned beyond recognition.
The teen is later identified as Camio Truly, a 17 year-old from a severely dysfunctional blue collar family. By all appearances, Camio is the one bright light in the hate-filled Truly family, which has more than its fair share of incarcerations, deaths, and illegitimate births. Camio actually wanted to go to college and make something of her life. The Truly family seems sullen and uncooperative. Camio's mother, Shawna, is apathetic. Her sister, Jessyca, a single mother, seems to care. When the matriarch of the clan, Miranda Truly, shows up, they all stop any pretense of cooperation. Miranda makes it clear that they don't trust Dove Carnahan. She also has no problem throwing the fact into Dove's face that Dove comes from a family background just as sketchy as their family.
It is known in the community by those old enough to remember that Dove's beautiful, promiscuous mother used men to survive. She cared more about herself than her three children, Dove, Neely, and Champ. Dove reflects that "From watching my friends at home with their moms, I learned the most important aspect of a mother's love was not the intensity but it's reliable consistency." This consistency was something none of her siblings ever had from their mother. She was murdered when Dove was fifteen. Dove and her younger sister Neely are still very close, but both have chosen solitary lives. Neely trusts dogs more than people. Their younger brother, Champ, took off when he was 18 and they have only heard from him a few times. Now, right during this current murder investigation, Lucky Dombosky, the man convicted of murdering her mother based on testimony from Dove and Neely, has been released after serving 35 years. He maintains that he was innocent and is accusing Dove and Neely of framing him.
This is an extremely well written and very satisfying mystery. The characters are remarkably well developed; the plot is complex and full of surprising insights and discoveries. Dove Carnahan is not perfect, but she came across as a real person. I loved it when she mentioned she got new shoes from Kohl's - with a 30% off. I could picture myself saying that exact thing (only maybe adding on sale with a 30% off and some Kohl's cash.) She recognized and knew the name of the bedding collection from Bed, Bath and Beyond, only because she has just went there. Sometimes it's the little details like this that pop-up in a character's conversations that make them feel like real people, someone you'd know.

Home / Conquered city - Victor Serge
Arkadi awoke later, at sunset. Scraps of blue showed through a sky closed in by white and leaden clouds scuttling off to the west. A difficult case had kept him sitting up until dawn opposite silent, tight-mouthed Maria Pavlovna, whose glance was direct when it fell on you, yet evasive when you tried to catch her eye, and that brute Terentiev, with his fat blond face and his disgusting way of licking his chops and of pulling his upper lip back over his bright red gums when he laughed. The file on the Schwaber case had been passed on from one hand to another. Terentiev indicated the examining magistrate's conclusion with the black-rimmed nail of his sausage-like finger: "guilty and dangerous." But what if they were telling the truth, these Schwabers? The father, the mother, the older son and daughter all stubbornly gave the same story, which sometimes seemed strikingly sincere and at other times like an absurd denial in the face of the obvious. The spy had lived with them. They had passed on letters to third parties, received messages for him, lied to cover his indiscretions, kept a suitcase containing his code. They insisted they knew nothing about it; that it was all simple; that they had thought they were dealing with an ordinary, rather pleasant man. Who were they? None of the three judges had ever seen them. Arkadi pored over their signatures with a strange inner tension. Under hers, the girl had written in a schoolgirl scrawl: "I swear before the Virgin we are all innocent, Olga Schwaber." This evocation of the Virgin made Terentiev's lip curl.
"So," he said, "that would make four coincidences!"
"Four coincidences," repeated Maria Pavlovna with raised eyebrows.
"They were duped," said Arkadi.
"One coincidence per head: nineteen years old, twenty-one (student at the Institute of Technology, Catholic), forty-four (graduate of the school for the Daughters of the Nobility, religious, monarchist), fifty-three (noble, rentier, former landlord, member of the Constitutional-Democratic Party…)." Rich religious nobles, "class enemies throughout every fibre of their beings," wrote the examining magistrate. "By the way, who was the magistrate?" "Zvereva."
"Ah, yes, that ugly little woman – still young, always well dressed, zealous."
"But atill," replied Arkadi, "the suitcase with the code, without which there would be no case: they brought it out themselves at the end of the search. Babin was ready to leave, without having seized anything."
Terentiev broke out in a deep loud laugh:
"But that was their ultimate ploy! They were convinced we knew everything from Procope. How do you explain Procope's report?"
"Procope is an interested party."
Here Maria Pavlovna broke in. Her voice was thoughtful, almost distant:
"Procope is a swine, that's true. But up to now he has always been a reliable agent. And he is supervised by Zachary."
"You know very well that Zachary is a bigger swine."
It was the eleventh case to be judged that night. Dawn showed at the window. Maria Pavlovna said:
"I'm calling for a vote. Terentiev?"
"Arkadi?"
Arkadi stared down at the blue-covered file and felt the weight of two pairs of eyes pressing in on him – one glance was sensual, mocking, revolting, like a rude nudge; the other cold, severe sad – detecting, perhaps in his indecision, a sign of weakness, of nervous fatigue, of unconscious revulsion against the task. The word was wretched out of his mouth before he was fully conscious of it and fell onto the file like an invisible seal:
"Death." Said Maria Pavlovna impassively.
"I'll sign."
Terentiev countersigned.
It was over, the inner nightmare subsided. Maria Pavlovna proposed adjourning the next cases until Wednesday's meeting. They rose. Terentiev, apathetic again, was now nothing more than a big red-faced slob with sparse, nearly colourless eyebrows. He appeared to droop slightly, staring out the window at the white roofs and, in answer to Maria Pavlovna's friendly inquiring glance, he murmured: "My youngest boy has scarlet fever."
Arkadi, before going home, wandered for a short while around the vast deserted square, bathed in a strange, extremely pale blue dawn glow. The great calm of the stones, the snow, and the dawning day seemed to enter him from every pore. Like the cool of the water when the swimmer dives in, his skin burning. Reassured, he thought: Tomorrow I'll go see Olga. Then he realised that a coincidence of names had weighed on his powers earlier. Olga. He thought about her as he got into bed in his messy room where Daghestan weapons with beautifully etched silver scabbards lay tossed on the divan. Olga. He had only to close his eyes and she was present. This was a different freshness than that of the dawn in the square: a bland freshness as calm and luminous as the late-afternoon sun reflected on the windowpanes.
Olga clapped her hands when he entered.
"I knew you would come today. I knew it! See, I was waiting."
She placed her hands on his shoulders, looked into his eyes, and said:
"I woke up at four o'clock last night. I felt you were thinking about me. Tell the truth: did you think about me at four o'clock?"
It was too dark for her to be able to detect the somewhat forced smile with which he answered, believing he was lying:
Olga clapped her hands again.
"I knew it! I knew it!"
He held her off with a gesture as she was about to throw herself into his arms. She could see his smile better. She felt his suppleness and his toughness. His soul as strong as his muscles, whose least movement had a masterful precision. He dropped himself onto the divan, crossed his legs – tall boots glistening- and said:
"Let me look at you, I feel so good."
"I'll make some tea," she answered.
She was happily aware of the red glow of his cigarette in the semidarkness. She loved to move about in the invisible light of eyes following her from the far end of a dimly lighted room. Nowhere in the world could anyone ever give this man a greater feeling of calm, a more secure rest, a surer joy. She knew this. And the warmth of his gaze resting on her, soft at first, then imperious like a magnet, enveloped her wholly, imparted new suppleness to her movements. Somewhere, deep inside, her whole being cried out that this was an immense happiness. When she was sure that he couldn't make out her face, she laughed silently with all her pretty teeth, with her depthless, shining eyes. Then she shut them for a moment, motionless, content with the single thought – he is here- ecstatic in delicious anticipation of hands ready to touch her.
She was tall and lissom, glowing all over with the multiple lustre of her eyes, whose long golden lids were always blinking as if to veil the brilliance of her gaze, of her sleek hair in which a touch of sunlight seemed to be captured forever, of her slender neck. Arkadi smoked. This female form filled his eyes and, far beyond his eyes, his mind, which forgot itself. And within him a wild-animal heat slowly came to life.
For her, he emerged from a darkness too frightening even to think about. There reigned a law of blood, incomprehensible yet necessary, since he was fulfilling it; he who was so pure, so strong, so calm after the mysterious labour of his nights. (She had only tried to question him once. He took her head between his hands: "Not a word about all that, my dove. Never. We are making Revolution. It's a great, great thing…" Olga repeated: "A great, great thing." Those words were engraved on her mind. Whatever she learned, whatever anyone told her, she repeated it to herself to regain her confidence. There was great deal of silence between them…)
"I promised Fuchs we would see him together. He has drawn a huge map, imagine…"
"Let's go," he said joyfully.
Arkadi was feeling light and vibrant, as when, at eighteen, in his village of Adjaris-Tskhahi, he would bound into the circle of clapping hands, one hand on his hip, the other on the back of his neck, with his dagger held tight at his waist, and dance – lighter, nimbler, and with greater endurance than anyone else.
The visiting card tacked to the door of the neighbouring room read:
JOHANN APPOLINARIUS FUCHS
Under the ancien regime, old Fuchs had lived rather well by his modest talents. The best dealers knew their way to his studio. His works could be found in the homes of patrons of the arts. Rasputin had liked them. Fuchs was the originator of those bathing girls with airy gestures who moved in or out of the waves as if offering themselves to love, wearing just enough to be more naked than they would have been if entirely nude, borne on the light, smiling and sensual. He had spent twenty years painting them over and over again, aware of his mediocrity and good workmanship, conscious that the shoulder which he finished off with a last touch would hold the eye and kindle, in older men, certain furtive sparks whose appearance he watched for, in the prudent gaze of his visitors. "Ah, signore," he would say to himself, rubbing his hands together, "this too is an art."
Even today, in this humble little room where a few carpets and some unsalable knickknacks in the worst of Viennese taste barely recalled better times, ex-dealers, ruined naturally, living off illicit trafficking, still sometimes came to ask him for "a red-haired bather, something a la Rubens, you understand?" for a mysterious client. – For, on the other side of the river, at the end of an empty street, in a vast frozen apartment, an aged man who, in order to feed the last of his great Danes, the only living being he had left with him, was selling his ex-mistress' old-fashioned dresses, was waiting anxiously for "the red-haired bather a la Rubens" as formerly he waited for a living woman.
Fuchs, who had been busy painting the emblem of Labour surmounted by a figure of "Revolution" with the straight nose of a Greek goddess for the flag of the Porcelain Makers' Union, immediately changed easels. He painted from memory now. One of his models had had precisely the Rubens complexion, but he had seen her for the last time back in 17, stouter and sunburned, wearing the uniform of the Women's Battalion whose sorry end at the hands of the sailors on the night of the victorious insurrection is now legend. – Another, a thin brunette who used to pose for his Sevillanas, walked the central prospect every night, between the Fontanka Bridge, guarded by its noble horse tamers, and Caravan Street. She was often alone on that little-used sidewalk. On the other side you could see the red, rectilinear façade of Anichkov Palace, its corner topped by the delicious golden bulb of its chapel.
Fuchs accosted her as she strolled along, kissing her hand a little farther up than necessary. She lived in a small inside room on the top floor of an ordinary biggish apartment house. The furniture was covered with worn lace. Pictures of young officers leaned against empty cologne bottles. She still had fairly clean underthings, which she herself washed in the kitchen; she didn't remove her high-laced boots to make love – that would take to long; on the other hand, she was good at spurring her males gently above the calf… Fuchs rather fancied this Lyda.
A knock came at the door. Fuchs quickly turned the Rubens-skinned girl to the wall. Olga and Arkadi filled the room with a virile grace. Arkadi, completely relaxed, a friendly smile revealing his fine teeth, scrutinised the fussily attentive old man. Short in stature, small-featured, a white goatee like an old faun.
"This comrade," said Olga, "is interested in your chronicle of the Revolution…"
"I'm thinking of the future," said Fuchs seriously.
Each day he would go out and get the newspapers, which was not an easy task since very few were for sale. Crafty and cautious like a thief, he sometimes had to peel the freshly posted pages off the walls, a risky undertaking. He studied them. It was his favourite job each day, the one which gave meaning to his daily existence. He cut out clippings, underlining with a ruler and red and blue pencils the significant parts of his chosen passage, which he then pasted into the large pages of his monthly classifiers.
Fuchs had to stoop to retrieve his clipping books from a trunk. Olga and Arkadi exchanged identical amused smiles. The little man stood up again and said, all of a sudden:
"The greatest happiness for a man is to live during a great epoch."
"That is true," said Arkadi.
"That is true, " repeated Olga more quietly.
"…even," Fuchs continued, "if it's hard, even…"
Three minds stopped short on the threshold of something repeating that uncompleted "even…"
"That is true," said Arkadi in the serious voice he used for passing sentence at the Special Commission.
"Here's my new map," said Fuchs.
Europe was divided between two colours, white and red. Red Europe was spilling over into white Europe. Red pincers encircled the Mediterranean. Italy, still white, was crisscrossed with red arrows; red arrows in Morocco, Algeria, Triplo, Egypt – red arrows!
"The arrows," Fuchs explained, "indicate revolutionary movements which have not yet triumphed."
Red countries covered the whole east, from the mouth of the Pechora on the White Sea to the gates of the Crimea, to Odessa, reconquered from the French and Greeks, to Daghestan, divided down the middle by a border of blood. The red countries, each bearing its date, spread out to the heart of Europe. Bavaria, a Socialist republic since April 7, 1919. Galicia, Soviet republic since April 25, 1919. Hungary, Soviet republic since March 22, 1919. Serbia – Serbia cut into the Balkans like a tooth- Socialist republic since April 14, 1919. Asia Minor pushed forward its red head like a snub-nosed pachyderm: Turkey, Socialist republic since April 19, 1919.
"Look here," observed Arkadi, "the island of Crete is red too."
"There has been a telegram from the Rosta Agency!"
Red arrows were exploding in Germany. Scattered red arrows were pointed at Paris, Lyon, Copenhagen, Rotterdam, London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Barcelona.
"How beautiful!" exclaimed Fuchs.
Arkadi answered:
"I don't think Bavaria will hold much longer. They say Toller has been killed at an outpost."
Fuchs flipped through a stack of clippings.
"What about this?" he said triumphantly.
Istanbul, April 27. The Executive Central Committee of the Moslem Revolutionaries of Turkey, Arabia, Persia, Hindustan, Algeria, Morocco, and Constantinople announce with profoundest joy that the Republic of the United States of the East will soon be proclaimed in Constantinople. The struggle is being carried forward vigorously. A soviet revolutionary corps of 2,000 men has been formed in Odessa.
The Turkish Consul at Odessa
Akhu-Ato-Bakh-Eddin
Arkadi burst into laughter.
"Your Akhu-Ato-Bakh-Eddin looks like a joker to me. I think…. I think the wisest thing would be to lock him up."
J.A.Fuchs's eyes went back and forth from his visitor to the map, whose veracity was suddenly being undermined. "So you think I should erase all this?"
"All of this" meant the red arrows piercing Mediterranean Africa from Suez to Casablanca.
"No. No. There's no doubt about the revolutionary ferment in the colonies. See the Manifesto of the Third International."
When his visitors had departed, Fuchs wrote (in pencil so as to be able to erase it later) in the corner of the map, in neat little characters:
"Cf. Manifesto of IIIrd Intern."
They had only a few steps to take to be back in their room. But even before, in the dark corridor, as Olga turned toward Arkadi to say "He's a character, isn't he?" she felt his masculine breath against her lips, and he did not answer. He enveloped her waist in an iron grip. She melted against him and it was as if he was carrying her away toward an unknown happiness.
Arkadi could never stay long. His nights of work began early. He departed, leaving behind him, in the room still full of the odour of his cigarettes, a cloudy wake of joy, confusion, and strength; but in that wake Olga's soul and flesh felt emptied. A strange desert of worn lips and slack nerves… she dozed. The bell rang twice. "For me!... Who could it be?"
She felt, as the tanned young soldier entered, a mixture of surprise and unease:
"You? You? How is it possible?"
Nonetheless they kissed each other's cold cheeks.
"Little sister, I'm exhausted. I've come from Rostov, the long way round. Makhno's men took me prisoner on the way. I told them I was practically an anarchist. They only took my fur coat and a thousand rubles. No importance."
"… You're a soldier? A major?..."
On his shoulder, a red star.
"No. Yes. Whatever you like. How's Mama? Can I sleep at your place? Is this house safe? My papers aren't in order."
"…not in order? Why?"
"You wouldn't understand, little sister. Don't worry about it. Where do you think I could stop for a few days?"
"I don't know, Kolia. Maybe at Andrei Vassilievich's. Or at Professor Lytaev's."
"How things change, little sister. My name is now Danil…"
He sat. He drank the tea which Arkadi had not touched. How mature he had become. His hands were those of a worker. As Olga listened to him laughing and talking, her uneasiness grew.
"I'm dirty, huh? What you smell on me is the peculiar odour of trains. Yet I've washed. Four weeks on trains, little Olga. And what trains, you couldn't imagine. No windows, smashed in on every side, stinking like pigsty's…. I even rode on the roof! Listen to this one, little sister, you'll laugh. In Kharkov, in a little hotel full of fat bedbugs (they were fat from their habitual diet of government officials), I ran into some Frenchmen coming from God knows where, an old Socialist crank, Durand-Pepin, bringing us his life's work, a complete outline for the organisation of the new society…."
The idea made him laugh so hard that he had to put down his teacup and bend over choking.
"He wanted to teach rational culture to the Ukrainian peasants by showing them little coloured pictures…."
Olga laughed too, infected. "When he saw that the peasants were more interested in stopping trains to at night to rob the passengers and hang the Jews, he declared he had to leave for home right away because of his heart disease. But they made him a member of a non-existent Academy, and gave him a set of Aluminium cookware, so he stayed… And his pretty niece, little sister, was worried whether she had enough dresses to appear in Kharkov society! Kharkov society! The biggest collection of bandits you could ever find…"

What is the CNT?
English translation of ¿Qué es la CNT? introduction to the Spanish anarcho-syndicalist union the CNT-AIT.


There is a lot of buzz around artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) and their application to financial services; specific examples include use cases applied to chatbots, robo advice, and credit risk scoring. Almost daily, articles are published focusing on specific functional areas, but do not address the potential of machine learning from an end to end perspective. This is the first of two lists whereby I document use cases by process area and potential use of ML algorithms and techniques. This initial list outlines AI and ML application to client on-boarding processes for new clients or for new products.
There is a number of processes that can use ML techniques to detect fraudulent attempts, usually based on historical attempts. These techniques can detect anomalies or fraudulent patterns in the client identification process through nearest neighbors' algorithms or other classification algorithms (i.e. support vector machines, decision trees or logistic regression). Using a set of existing customer data, along with non-compliant cases, can help predict and flag negative cases and the model can learn as new cases are added.
Client segmentation and profiling can also be automated using predictive techniques that will use existing client data information classify newly on-boarded customers into matching customer segments or risk profiles. For this process, we can use unsupervised learning techniques to detect customer patterns and segments or supervised learning to classify clients in pre-defined segment or risk profiles based on nearest neighbor's algorithms or decision trees.
Client identification can be enhanced using facial or voice recognition and deep learning techniques (for example, convolutional neural network) to compare data with external identity databases and spot fraudulent attempts. This data can then used later for processes such as transaction authorization, a technique already used for payments.
Finer client on-boarding data can also be enhanced by information collected via social networks to identify customer risks or preferences. However, this pursuit would require financial institutions to partner with external parties like Facebook and Google to have a better view of the incoming customer and be able to offer a much smoother experience. The challenge remains the willingness of potential clients to share their personal information across multiple suppliers.
When clients want to buy specific investment products, advisors must adhere to suitability rules and product risks must match the client risk profile. The process of matching investment products to a client's investment profile is usually already automated using rules engines or other automated process, but machine learning can help.
Supervised learning (for example, decision trees) or unsupervised learning algorithms (nearest neighbor clustering) can verify if the particular product is well suited for the client based on previous client on-boarding patterns and if similar products have been bought by clients in similar groups. This process can greatly improve the customer experience as it gives the customer an increased level of trust in the recommendation made by the relationship manager (or by the automated sales process).
In the second list (to be released in early January), I address sales and advisory processes. Stay tuned!!!

Q: iOS set default date to date picker? I've a date picker associated with a text field.Text field has value like this Thursday, November 22nd(string recieved from server call).
Now i want that when i click on text field date picker should sow default date that is displayed in text field.
I guess i've to call [datePicker setDate:date animated:YES]; but problem is that how to convert  string Thursday, November 22nd into NSDate?
Thanks in advance.

A: I assume u would like current year in your date:
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"yyyy"];
NSString *yeardate = [dateFormat stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];

NSString *string = @"Thursday, November 22nd";
if ( [string length] > 0)
  string = [string substringToIndex:[string length] - 2];

NSString *finalstr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@",string,yeardate];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"EEEE,MMMM dd yyyy"];

NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:finalstr];
NSLog(@"%@",date);

A: You can follow the code snippet below
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"EEEE MMMM d, yyyy"];
NSString *dateStr;
NSDate *date;

date  = [NSDate date];
dateStr= [formatter stringFromDate:date];
NSLog(@"%@", dateStr); // -> Tuesday November 6, 2012

dateStr= @"Tuesday November 6, 2012";
date = [formatter dateFromString:dateStr];
 NSLog(@"%@",date); // -> 2012-11-05 18:15:00 +0000

After consultation with the parishioners, the Parish Council commissioned a statue from Mary Spencer-Watson to commemorate the Millennium. The statue,entitled 'Mason',depicts a stonemason, marking a thousand years of quarrying and stone-working in Purbeck. It is in the grounds of the parish church, St. George's, in the centre of the village. Mary Spencer-Watson died aged 92 in March 2006.

In 2009 the Parish Council with financial help from the Common Aggregates Fund (COMMA) provided Allotment Gardens on land leased from the National Trust at Cole's Ground.
Previous Council enhancement schemes included the replacement of asphalt pavements with local stone slabs, and having electric and telephone wiring run underground to restore an uncluttered skyline to the High Street. Street lighting was installed several years ago at the Council's instigation.

Perhaps one of the most important questions that a curious gambler would be concerned with in baccarat has to be the best bet that can give them the advantage and win.
Baccarat involves trends and patterns which is the reason why there are pencils and empty charts provided so that you can monitor the streaks. Using various baccarat money guides, most strategies are focused on riding these trends as a means of improving their winning chances. The bottom line in baccarat is to ride streaks and making sure that you stop at the appropriate time.
When betting, you need to make sure that there is an obvious pattern in the table. If there is nothing you can spot, then you can opt not to make a wager. You can always bet any time during the session although this would demand a great amount of discipline on your part.
There have already been various theories delving on statistical deviations and streaks in gambling. It will be good to set your sights on any obvious pattern unfolding. While every event in any game is totally independent from each other, streaks or trends are still likely.
This theory can be applied to baccarat as well. Although each event in the game is not related to each other, you can still spot some obvious patterns in determining the result. There is a popular notion in the game that you will lose only once when betting on a streak and several times when wagering against it. In fact, there have been instances when gamblers who bet on bankers went on a streak. When that player finally bet on the Player, they started going on a losing streak.
It is quite easy to detect trends or streaks and there are many which are very simple to adopt as well. Some methods have a pattern of stringing together consecutive wins before changing sides and returning to the other pattern.
Whatever your approach will be, baccarat can be a good choice. It is ideal for high rollers. One gambling author stated that when gambling you either follow the pattern or don't make any bets at all. When you adopt the pattern, you are likely to lose one bet only as opposed to not following the pattern and losing your entire bankroll or even your livelihood.
So if you want to make the most out of the game, the best baccarat money guide is to ride with the streak.
