Don't make decisions that undermine your leadership. When you do make mistakes, let them propel you by what you learn from them. Take this advice and put it to work for you. Leadership is all about beliefs and actions that show a confidence in your ability to help and teach.


We spend approximately one third of our lives sleeping. Sleep allows our body to restore itself for the day both energy wise and physically.
Common sleeping positions often lead to poor sleeping posture, neck and back pain when sleeping, pressure on the different joints of the body, and injuries due to sleeping. With respect to our sleeping position we should either sleep on our sides (with a pillow between knees) or back (a pillow under knees) and never on our stomach. Sleeping on the stomach reverses your spinal curves and places a lot of force on the joints of the body.
Are you sleeping properly? If you are not you can injure yourself and interfere with your body's recuperation time.
We should never sleep with our arms up above chest height, with our hands under our pillow, or with our legs rotated forward and bent too high. Your body should be in a straight alignment.
Your pillow should be replaced every 1 – 2 years unless you sleep with a water pillow and these last normally 5 years. The pillow should be at a height so that when you lie on your side your neck and head are straight and not bent down or up. If you are wondering about your pillow please bring it in and Dr. Barbara Rodwin can check the height and age of it for you. We have pillows to loan out, ask the front desk about borrowing one if you would like to.
You should try to go to sleep at the same time each night. The room you sleep in should be as dark as you can make it. Do not sleep with your cell phone under your pillow as studies have indicated that the cell phone emits harmful radiation that can damage your brain and lead to brain cancer or tumors.
If you have problems falling asleep or you wake up in the middle of the night you can take natural supplements to aid in getting a good night's sleep. These can include: melatonin, 5-HTP, taurine, magnesium, Phosphatidlyserine, and several other ones.
If you have problems sleeping email Dr. Rodwin and she can make suggestions to ensure you obtain a good night's sleep!
Mattresses last for 10 to 12 years. If yours is older than this, it is time to replace it. A mattress is important to getting a good night's sleep and allows our body to feel good! There are so many types in this day and age to choose from. You should ensure you do your research before going out to look for one and understand the warranty and exchange policy the company offers for the one you purchase.
There are basically three comfort preferences: soft (Pillow Top), plush and firm. There are also varying forms of the Pillow Top. Learn about the support system- foam or innerspring. A good support system provides good support whether your mattress is a pillow top, plush or firm. Never put a new mattress on an old foundation. You can also look at purchasing a latex or memory foam mattress. Mattress buying is the most important decision you will make in furnishing your home, since you and your loved ones will spend close to one-third of your lives sleeping on your mattresses. For a mattress that costs $1,000, you spend approximately three cents a day. Aim to buy the best mattress you can for the money.
For more information on mattresses please ask Dr. Barbara Rodwin.
Are you tired of feeling tired? If you are find out how to increase your energy! Ask Dr. Barbara Rodwin.

November 4, 2021: Hamraoui assaulted
After participating in a "cohesion" dinner at the Chalet des Îles, a restaurant in the Bois de Boulogne, with the entire women's team of PSG, Aminata Diallo brings back her teammates Sakina Karchaoui and Kheira Hamraoui by car. A few moments after dropping off the left side at her home (around 10:30 p.m.), the two Parisian midfielders were arrested by two hooded men and ordered to get out of the vehicle.
Pulled out of the car, Kheira Hamraoui was beaten several times with an iron bar. Assessment: three long hematomas on the left thigh, knee and calf, two stitches in the right tibia and two others on the palm of the right hand.
November 5, 2021: Hamraoui heard in the premises of the PJ
The next day, Kheira Hamraoui gave his story of the attack to the police officers of the banditry repression brigade (BRB) of the regional direction of the judicial police (DRPJ) of Versailles. The French international still confides to having been copiously insulted before hearing the term " married man ", uttered by one of his attackers. A detail confirmed by Aminata Diallo, held in respect by the second stranger all the time of the attack.
November 10, 2021: Aminata Diallo in police custody
Six days after the events, Aminata Diallo was arrested in the early morning at her home in Marly-le-Roi (Yvelines) by BRB investigators. "One of the attackers attacked Kheira Hamraoui, at the level of his legs, as if he wanted to prevent him from exercising his profession for a moment. The track of an internal rivalry within PSG is particularly explored., notes an observer with The Team. The next day, the Parisian comes out free, with no charges against her.
November 15, 2021: the false trail of "the married man"
The hypothesis of an aggression linked to a sporting rivalry goes away when the newspaper The world reveals on November 15 that investigators have established that Kheira Hamraoui's phone chip was in the name of Éric Abidal. More than a month later, on December 21, the former Barça defender, who admitted having had an intimate relationship with the player, was heard as a witness, the day after his wife Hayet, who filed for divorce. .
At the same time, investigators are interested in anonymous calls received by Parisians Grace Geyoro, Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Sakina Karchaoui during a gathering of the France team at the end of October 2021 in which Kheira Hamraoui participated. The author pretended to be "a married man" claiming to have maintained an intimate relationship with the former Barcelona woman from whom he would like to take revenge.
After two interrogations, the first in November 2021 and the second in May 2022, the investigators became certain that this mysterious crow was a man imprisoned in the prison of Lyon-Corbas (Rhône), nicknamed "Jaja" and presented as a " knowledge " by Aminata Diallo. Ultimately, "the trail of revenge linked to an intimate relationship was explored and quickly abandoned"confides a judicial source to The Team.
April 27, 2022: a new suspect in police custody
After failing to appear for a summons from investigators the day before, a 25-year-old man was arrested on April 27 and then questioned. He would have been in contact, the day before the facts, with Aminata Diallo. But like the player and "Jaja", no charge was brought against him at the end of his police custody. More than seven months after the attack, no suspect has been indicted.
September 14, 2022: three suspects in police custody
The investigation is accelerating. On the morning of September 14, three suspects were arrested by BRB police officers and then placed in police custody in the premises of the Versailles judicial police, after having attended the search of their home. "The BRB police officers continue to explore the links between this attack and the entourage of the PSG players in order to determine a motive"advance the Sunday newspaperwhich revealed these arrests.
The next day, an 18-year-old young man, suspected of being one of the two attackers of the French international (39 caps), was arrested in Massy (Essonne) before being placed in police custody in his turn. the premises of the PJ.
September 16, 2022: Aminata Diallo in police custody then indicted
Two days after this twist, Aminato Diallo was arrested and again placed in police custody. In the early afternoon, she is presented to an examining magistrate for an indictment. At the same time, two men suspected of having participated in the attack are indicted for "criminal association" and "aggravated violence".

They have a son and a daughter. Chris tries to go straight with his new girlfriend Natalie, but is betrayed and sabotaged in his pursuit of a legitimate business venture. Returning to his criminal ways puts him in direct conflict with his brother Frank, who happens to be a New York City cop. Their sister Marie, and their sick father Leon, want Chris and Frank to just get along with each other.

When arresting Anthony Scarfo at his house, Frank happens to meet his ex-girlfriend Vanessa again. Though Vanessa is now married to Anthony and has a daughter by him, Frank and Vanessa get back together again anyway, and she decides to divorce Anthony. But in the meantime, Frank becomes conflicted over allowing Chris to flee the scene of a felony murder. After Anthony is released from police custody, his first act is to seek revenge against Frank for destroying his home life.

Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter criticized the film, saying: "The impressive cast makes this French-financed New York 1974-set production watchable but it's too inert to catch on with critics or audiences."

Fionnuala Halligan of Screen International called it "Heat meets Mesrine via Cain and Abel". Ryland Aldrich of Twitch Film praised the production. "From the wonderfully decorated exteriors loaded with the cars of the era to the record players spinning classic hits, 1970s New York absolutely comes alive", he said.

I have tried gardening on several continents with many climates and soil types. I soon learned that a plant that grows well in one place may get resentful and sulk — or outright die— in another. That is why gardening books that address local conditions are spectacularly useful. Here in southeastern Virginia we are well served by Vegetable Gardening the Colonial Williamsburg Way: 18th Century Methods for Today's Organic Gardener, by Wesley Greene. When I was starting to grow herbs I was looking for a book about a particular type of plant rather than tightly focused on one place, and Southern Herb Growing has turned out to be a wonderful resource to help me with our hot and humid conditions.
The author Madalene Hill was the national president of the Herb Society of America in the 1980s and her expertise shines through. The first part of the book is called "A Herbal Primer" and covers getting started with sections on soil, mulch and propagation. A large part of it is given over to design ideas including historical knot gardens and theme gardens. The before and after photos can be a little discouraging because the full, tangled cottage-garden look that I crave may take five years to grow. I guess I just have to be patient and wait for my two inch tall sprigs of rosemary to become bushes! And for those readers who can only dream of the space to grow a proper garden, the book includes container gardening (which herbs are well suited to).
Around half the book is the "Growing Guide" with hundreds of herbs listed alphabetically with advice for growing them in the hot, humid South, the herbs' historical uses and significance, and their modern culinary and medicinal uses. Each listing has the scientific genus and species names, as well as alternate names, so from from Acanthus to Yarrow you should be able to find almost any rare or common herb you are interested in.
Check the WRL catalog for Southern Herb Growing.


The Swiveling TV Base is a table-top TV base that recreates the sleek look and feel of a mounted TV. Designed to be compatible with the Sonos® PLAYBASE™ home theater speaker, the Swiveling TV Base creates space to fit a PLAYBASE or PLAYBAR below your TV by providing up to 8 inches of height adjustment. The Swiveling TV Base works on all surfaces and is a substantial improvement over the stands that are traditionally included with TVs. By providing 40 degrees of swivel left to right, the Swiveling TV Base dramatically improves viewing angles allowing you to point the TV to where you are seated. The modern, matte finish complements the look of today's flat-panel TVs, and the included cable management system conceals unsightly power and HDMI cables. When used with the PLAYBASE or other soundbar solution, the Swiveling TV Base essentially disappears, and the TV appears to hover over the speaker allowing the TV and speaker to take center stage.


Stopped on pictures, hesitate, fearing?! I advise now phone .
The reality is that prostitution cannot be made respectable. Legalisation does not make it so. Phone numbers of Whores in Makgoba - Wherever you are, Mixxxer lets you to find a playmate from your mobile phone. Anyone with a polyamorous appetite will be well-served by this X-rated service. Then I left to get a bite to each after talking to the manager and was told that a girl I was with previously was not in the lineup and that if I come back I could probably book her. So when I came back from lunch, I was waiting for about minutes for her before I decided to leave. Bad service, so I'm not sure if I would go back.
The standard locations apply: This allows them to work as much or as little as they need to, operate out of love hotels or their own home, and be able to have some level of selectivity when it comes to the customers they will be involved with. But the reality is in a one-to-one encounter gone wrong with a john, these women have no support. In addition to this, they are easy targets for police who can stop them on the pretense of checking their identification, search their belongings and then easily detain them.

WHY did Prince Charles represent Britain at the 60th anniversary of Dunkirk?
His father, Prince Philip, has a distinguished Second World War naval record and would have been more fitting.
Charles displays a chestful of impressive gongs but he has no war or active service to entitle him to wear campaign medals. - John O'Hare, Arden, Glasgow.
TWO BBC programmes on the Dunkirk evacuation appeared to show only English regiments had taken part. I saw one Highland Light Infantry veteran (the piper), but not a single Scots, Welsh or Irish ex-soldier was interviewed.
Is there anti-Scots bias in the London BBC or is it just ignorance? - J.H. Bennett, King's Park, Glasgow.
ONE of the boats that evacuated men at Dunkirk, the Skylark, is still in operation - on Loch Lomond.
For many years, members of the Dunkirk Veterans' Association attended Balloch for a memorial parade and service. The Skylark ferried them out on the loch where a moving service was held and poppy petals were scattered in memory of their comrades who did not return. - Alex Moffat, Glenrothes, Fife.
MIKE TYSON'S Scottish sparring partner Raz Parnez, 18, says the big fight at Hampden could put Glasgow on the map. Well, Glasgow was on the map before Tyson and will still be here long after he is gone and forgotten. - John McDonald, Knightswood, Glasgow.
ANDREW WILSON does not know his tennis when comparing the earnings of Andre Agassi with Anna Kournikova.
Agassi is the No.1 male player in the world, while Kournikova isn't even in the female top ten. Martina Hingis, however, is the top female player and earns roughly the same as Agassi. - Alastair Robertson, Ralson, Paisley.
Give us a break
ARE TV quiz shows like Big Break, Family Fortunes and Catchphrase exclusively for English competitors? The rest of Britain seems to be ignored. - J. Eccles, Inverness.
ChildLine thanks
ON behalf of all the staff at ChildLine Scotland, I want to thank everyone who helped during our recent Volunteer Week. Without such aid, ChildLine could not provide help to Scottish children and young people 365 days a year.
Anybody interested in becoming a volunteer, should call 0141-552 1123. Any child needing help should call free on 0800 1111. - Mafe Marwick, Fundraising Organiser, ChildLine Scotland.
Can cache
I WAS interested in the Sunday Mail's feature on the Tennent's lager girls. My husband and I realised we had a collection of our own - nine cans in the attic.
I'd now like to meet the collecters who'll pay us up to pounds 200 for them! - Mrs E. McCall, Kirkintilloch.
What a pain
I HAD a headache, felt sick, drowsy, weak, shaky, and rather faint, so I went to my doctor and he gave me some tablets.
But a note with the tablets warned that the tablets may make me feel headachy, sick, drowsy, weak, shaky, or faint. So I threw them all away and went down the pub for a good slug of whisky. - John Woodhouse, Nottingham.
Sock it to 'em
IF I ever win the National Lottery my self indulgence will be to wear a new pair of socks every day.
The nearest I get to this is by putting away my Christmas and birthday presents of socks, and wearing a new pair every day during my annual holiday - 14 days of sheer bliss! - Ian McLaren, Edinburgh.
Mystery of Norman the conqueror
I WAS surprised that Norman Wisdom got any kind of honour, let alone a knighthood from the Queen. He only ever had one "joke" - falling about the stage as a daft wee man in a cloth cap.
His TV performances were a yawn, his films a flop. And he's been out of the public spotlight for decades. The only thing he has going for him is that the strange people of Albania find him funny.
Wisdom would have been booed off the stage in Scotland. No wonder he stayed away. - Bob Harvey, Falkirk.
IT was great to see the Queen smile after she knighted Norman Wisdom at Buckingham Palace. When he walked away and pretended to trip, my husband and I burst out laughing too. - B. Reid, Erskine.
Stop telling us what to think
GOOD on the ladies of the Women's Institute for slow handclapping Tony Blair and giving him his comeuppance.
I was shocked at the nasty way he stormed out in the huff. It's time politicians listened to ordinary people in the street and found out what we voters really want - not what they arrogantly think is good for us.- J. Gibson, Dunblane.
HOW Ms Alexander, Deacon and Boyack became MSPs, far less Ministers, beggars belief. Their arrogance bears no relation to their performance so far. If only we could turn the clock back and rid ourselves of devolution, not only for Scotland but for Wales and Ireland too. Tony Blair has a lot to answer for. - D.W. Auld, Perth.
WHICH planet does Wendy Alexander come from? She claims New Labour is delivering for Scotland. Well, check this. Our NHS is disintegrating, law and order is out of control, there are fewer police on the streets, drugs are rampant, the Mike Tyson affair, and they won't listen on Section 28. The list is endless. Daffy Duck could do better. - J. Baxter, Glasgow.
Bossy birds
I AGREE with the reader that sparrowhawks could be the reason for the sharp decline in the sparrow population. But I also think the increase in the numbers of magpies is to blame. These bossy birds have taken over my garden. - M. Short, Ayr.
Caring rescuers
I ALSO found the SSPCA most unhelpful when dealing with a stray cat and five kittens. But thanks to Cat Rescue, the animals were quickly uplifted to a foster home. - Rose Robinson, Whitburn, West Lothian.
Soya scare
WHAT a worry for the 5000 women who will have to have soya implants removed, after the cancer scare. It must also be a worry for those with silicone implants. Britain claims these are safe - but some countries have banned them. - J. Hope, Edinburgh.
Watter cheek
THE STV documentary about Rothesay ended with a camera shot looking down a flushing toilet. This brings a new meaning to the saying "doon the watter". - James Rice, Renfrew.
JUST ASK... WE'LL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS
WHICH rock star has the most fan clubs? - I. Ross, Aberdeen.
IT'S still Elvis Presley, who died in 1977. Worldwide, there are almost 500.
SETTLE an argument. Did a member of the Royal Family invent windscreen wipers? - D. MacKinnon, Dundee.
YES, but not our royals. Prussia's Prince Henry put them on a Benz car he drove from Hamburg to England in 1911. They worked by hand.
DID a riot once take place in a Scottish cathedral? - D. Hanson, Maryhill.
YES, in 1637 rioting broke out among the congregation in St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, when the authorities introduced a new service book imposed by Charles I. It started when Jenny Geddes threw a stool at the dean.
HOW old is the game of cricket? - B. Malone, Stirling.
THE earliest reference to it being played is at a Guildford school in the mid-16th century and also in 1654 in Kent. It was given a set of rules in 1744.
DID two world war surrenders happen in the same place? - F. Jones, Edinburgh.
YES, in 1940, the French surrendered to Germany in the same rail carriage in Compiegne that the Germans surrendered to the Allies 22 years earlier.
WHY are the tennis championships in Wimbledon? - J. Faulkie, Montrose.
THE meeting that founded the event was held at Wimbledon in June 1877. The tournament was held on July 9 the same year.
WHEN was the original detective story published? - F. Robertson, Paisley.
IN 1841, in a magazine in Philadelphia, America. It was Edgar Allan Poe's The Murders in the Rue Morgue.

Q: trouble with neo4j over browser I have neo4j 3.2.4 installed on a Ubuntu instance. After installing, all I've done to start neo4j is "sudo neo4j console" which directs me to a web interface. Unfortunately, I must connect to the web interface on a different computer which I can do via localhost:7474 or https://localhost:7473. (There is some port forwarding required.) Both get me to the landing page. There I am asked to enter a password (the default one) to connect to the database but I then get the error - "ServiceUnavailable: WebSocket connection failure. Due to security constraints in your web browser, the reason for the failure is not available to this Neo4j Driver ..."
The only site that suggests a solution is here. The suggested solution is to uncomment "dbms.connector.bolt.address=0.0.0.0:7687" in the neo4j.conf file which I did. I then restarted neo4j but I keep on getting the same error.
FWIW - telnet 127.0.0.1 7687 works so connecting to Bolt seems to be fine.
There is also a Github issue referencing this problem but no specific suggested solutions. (Neo4j - issue 504)
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

A: Thank you for the information InverseFalcon. FWIW I got things to work by switching over to Firefox where I had also set up FoxyProxy. (So not sure if it was Firefox or FoxyProxy that helped - but would a place to start for anyone else having trouble.)

A: If you are able to open neo4j web interface, then goto settings -> Network connection section and then check the checkbox that says "Do Not Use Bolt".

A: After installing the Community edition 3.3.5 on Windows I was getting the same issue as mentioned above, using Chrome. After reading Greg's solution using Firefox, I switched to Internet Explorer and it worked fine.

Q: Compare two collections in MongoDb and remove common I have three collections in MongoDB

*

*achievements

*students

*student_achievements

achievements is a list of achievements a students can achieve in an academic year while
students collections hold data list of students in the school.
student_achievements holds documents where each documents contains studentId & achievementId.
I have an interface where i use select2 multiselect to allocate one or more  achievements from achievements to students from students and save it to their collection student_achievements, right now to do this i populate select2 with available achievements from database. I have also made an arrangement where if a student is being allocated same achievement again the system throws an error.
what i am trying to achieve is if an achievement is allocated to student that shouldn't be available in the list or removed while fetching the list w.r.t student id,
what function in mongodb or its aggregate framework can i use to achieve this i.e to compare to collections and remove out the common.

A: Perhaps your data-structure could be made different to make the problem easier to solve. MongoDB is a NoSQL schemaless store, don't try to make it be like a relational database.
Perhaps we could do something like this:
var StudentSchmea = new Schema({
    name: String,
    achievements: [{ type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Achivement' }]
});

Then you can do something like this which will only add the value if it is unique to the achievements array:
db.student.update(
   { _id: 1 },
   { $addToSet: { achievements: <achivement id> } }
)

If you are using something like Mongoose you can also write your own middleware to remove orphaned docs:
AchivementSchema.post('remove', function(next) {
    // Remove all references to achievements in Student schema
});

Also, if you need to verify that the achievement exists before adding it to the set, you can do a findOne query before updating/inserting to verify.
Even with the post remove hook in place, there are certain cases where you will end up with orphaned relationships potentially. The best thing to do for those situations is to have a regularly run cron task to to do cleanup when needed. These are some of the tradeoffs you encounter when using a NoSQL store.

Antigua, a perfect Caribbean island with brilliant beaches, turquoise sea and flights from London Gatwick, offers a carnival of beautiful costumes and great music.
The ten day long summer carnival, described as the greatest in the Caribbean, was founded in 1957 to replace the island's Christmas Festival. It celebrates the emancipation from slavery in 1834.
The celebrations, starting on the first week of July and ending on the first week of August, commence in St. John's with a parade of jam and Calypso bands, costumed troupes and floats. The parade concludes at Carnival City (the Antigua Recreation Ground) with fireworks and this commences ten days of joyous dancing and contests.
Beauty pageants are a popular attraction of the festival. Teen Splash is highly anticipated; it judges youths of both sexes on categories such as "personality and aspiration", "performing talent" and "research". Queen of the Carnival, the most coveted beauty title in Antigua, along with Jaycees Caribbean Queen show, feature young ladies competing against each other in fabulous outfits.
Music plays a key part in the Carnival. The main types featured are Calypso (originating from music sung by slaves); there are many Calypso competitions that are very interesting to listen to, as the genre is mainly improvisational and depends on the skilful weaving of sounds by the soloist. Other important forms of music are steel drum bands, soca (with roots in American soul) and reggae that, although originating in Jamaica, is influential in Antigua's culture.
J'ouvert, or Open Day", is a highlight of the festival. It involves a street party, with open air performances by bands accompanied by costumed dancers. The carnival comes to an end with a beach party.

A Window Into Kabuki, Japan's 400-Year-Old Drag Show
Though queerness is hush hush in Japan, the country openly revels in this gendered performance.
by Katie Lockhart 1/23/2019
At AiSOTOPE Lounge in the Shinjuku neighborhood of Tokyo, a Kim Chi-inspired drag queen puts on an intricately choreographed dance routine to a Lady Gaga song. The crowd cheers and claps as the lights dim and her dress blinks with LED lights. While just a few train stops away, Japan's original drag queens put on their white face paint and wigs for a more traditional kind of show called kabuki.
According to Takayo Malone, an event organizer specializing in Japanese culture and director of TAKAYO, the ancient art of kabuki started in the Edo period around 1603 by female performers. Alan Cummings, senior teaching fellow in Japanese at SOAS University of London, says these women were often prostitutes who dressed as kabukimono, or young, urban men in plays and dances. But in 1629, these performances were considered too wild and disorderly, so women were banned from the art form.
Japanese Kabuki actor Kankuro Nakamura (left) and Tsurumatsu Nakamura (right) of Heisei Nakamura company performs "Renjishi" at Canal Theater in Madrid, Spain.
Subsequently, adolescent boys began playing the roles of females by dressing up as women in head-to-toe costume and makeup while performing with high-pitched voices. Cummings says that many of these young men were also prostitutes. Malone adds, "They were often bisexual and the apprentice kabuki actors used their beauty to become big stars by binding a relationship with the higher ranked samurai."
But in 1652, the government banned adolescent boys from performing due to impropriety, and kabuki began to transform into "proper" theatre with elaborate plots and developed characters. "It was also from this point onwards that audiences began to see adult male actors performing in female roles," says Cummings. "Actors who specialized in playing female roles were known as onnagata."
During this time, many kabuki actors, not just those playing women, faced discrimination from the government. "The authorities viewed the theater as socially dangerous and looked askance at the celebrity of the actors," says Cummings. So they started to regulate kabuki in an attempt to control the theatre and the actor's salaries, costumes, and lifestyles.
According to Malone, in the 1800s, after the restoration, the Meiji government thought Japan needed to improve its performing arts, so it started to consider kabuki as a high-quality form of art. Cummings reports that today kabuki is extremely popular with over 1.4 million yearly visitors at the famed Kabukiza Theatre in Tokyo alone. The onnagata are considered to be highly-skilled artists, even appearing in movies, TV and commercials. Cummings says two contemporary onnagata, Bandō Tamasaburō V and Sakata Tôjûrô IV, have been officially recognized as living national treasures.
Cummings notes that Japan has quite a surprising tolerance for this kind of gendered performance. But sexuality in Japan is more complicated: Gay marriage, for instance, is not legal, though gay bars are visible and accepted, particularly by the younger generation. Cummings adds that many onnagata are gay in their private lives, but in Japan it is still rare for any public figures or celebrities to be open about their sexuality. Unfortunately, no kabuki onnagata are openly gay.

As for the drag queen comparison, Cummings thinks, "They would probably perceive it as a very different type of art—the art of the onnagata is to create an emotional reaction in theatre audiences, and to embody the drama faced by the female characters in the plays, rather than simply to entertain with the gendered performance itself. But I think they would be very interested in the techniques used by Western drag performers."
The best place to see a traditional kabuki show in Japan is the Kabukiza Theatre in Tokyo or the National Theatre. Both run multiple shows per day and visitors can often walk in and purchase a ticket for a same-day showing. In Kyoto, head to the Minamiza Theatre, and in Osaka, try the Shochikuza Theatre. More popular nighttime shows may require planning in advance. Lastly, if you're not a Japanese-speaker, make sure to pay for an English translator in order to fully experience the great art of kabuki.

RAW vs JPEG: Which Image Quality Setting is Best?
Which image quality setting should you use? RAW or JPEG?
To put it simply, JPG's are processed in-camera so that you can easily share and print the images without doing anything else. Think of it like an OREO cookie that is ready to eat. The camera mixes a certain amount of saturation, contrast, sharpness and color temp, then bakes the image for you.
RAW's on the other hand are unedited originals that need to be processed before they can be shared or printed. Think of it like a bunch of ingredients. You're in charge of mixing the ingredients (saturation, contrast, sharpness, color temp, etc.), which gives you more control over the final output. Additionally, RAW files contain much more image data, which allows you to correct mistakes, like toning down an overexposed (bright) photo and retaining detail in those areas.
Watch the video for a side-by-side comparison between RAW and JPG, along with my thoughts on which one you should use.
If you enjoyed this video, please show your appreciation by liking it. This helps me figure out which types of videos to create for you in the future.

What awaits Turkish economy amid coronavirus outbreak?
Posted on March 28, 2020 by CHP EU Representation
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Selin Sayek Böke
We are on the brink of a global crisis. It seems that when it is all over nothing will be the same. What it will look like, however, very much depends on how we all decide to act today. The coronavirus pandemic has triggered a crisis that has once again highlighted all the structural problems of the current world order. And Turkey is getting its fair share from the situation. What's more, Turkey has been caught fairly off-guard by the corona-led economic crisis.
We are once again confronted with our prevailing vulnerabilities. Our own structural crisis means that the current corona-led crisis will cause deep damage, cyclically as well as structurally. This is why we are in urgent need of rational and radical economic and social measures that are equal to the gravity of the crisis we are now facing. Clearly, all policies and measures have to primarily focus on protecting life. We need a framework that prioritizes securing a healthy life for all. Yet until that day comes, we urgently need supportive economic and social policies.
We need to approach the current crisis with this mindset, and we need to seek answers to the following questions: What are the issues? What awaits Turkey? What should be done? Can the economic remedies announced by the government be of any help? The answers we give will not only affect today but will also have a huge impact on our tomorrow.
1.What were the global economic conditions prior to the coronavirus crisis?
The global economy has been in a crisis for quite some time now. Since 2008-09 these crisis conditions have become the new normal, as has been the case in Turkey as well. The world powers who have continued to take decisions favoring financial capital are to be held accountable for this new norm. This is a deliberate political choice, a choice our own government happily partakes in. And this deliberate political choice impacts our daily lives immensely and in multiple ways. The decisions that continuously and deliberately favor the 1 percent undermine the well-being of the 99 percent day by day.
All basic social and economic rights—such as the right to health and education, and labor and housing rights—that are of deep concern for the 99 percent have eroded and continue to be eroded by the powerful. The political choice of weakening the welfare state over the years has left millions vulnerable to any crisis, meaning that each crisis deepens the deep inequalities already existing. Turkey too, with the deliberate choice of the AKP's 18 year-long economic programs, has followed suit in this global economic structure.
2. What were the economic conditions in Turkey prior to the coronavirus crisis?
Even before the coronavirus, we were in our very own economic crisis of our own making. Now the pandemic will worsen the situation. A part of this crisis is an outcome of the current economic structure, which overlaps with the global structure described above. This structure is one where health and education has been heavily privatized, where flexible and precarious employment is almost the rule, rent collection by property owners is encouraged by public authorities, and the population is left unprotected under the pressures of large debt burdens contributed to by speculative finance. It is exactly this economic structure that will lead the health and economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic to be graver.
The political choices of the Palace Regime, a move towards authoritarianism, the demolition of the rule of law and erosion of inclusive institutions, has meant that an economic crisis was already deeply felt in Turkey before the world was shaken by the coronavirus. What were we experiencing as a result of this crisis?
Unemployment was already peaking, along with undercurrents of a social crisis. Nearly 4.5 million people were already jobless, with women and the young at a particular disadvantage. Moreover, unemployment duration had been on the rise for millions well before the coronavirus crisis hit: one million one hundred fifteen thousand people have been unemployed for over a year.
Both households and the real estate sector were already heavily indebted, in an economy that can only stand up with lifelines of credit. Even debt has been "privatized", with household bank and credit card debt rising to 624 billion TL, and the SME's (Small and medium-sized enterprises) bank debt to 620 billion TL.
Turkey's risk premium was already high. Although it had been volatile, it had continuously been on the risky side among comparable economies.
An unhealthy fiscal policy framework had become the norm. Long before the coronavirus arrived, the precautionary savings of the Central Bank were used for finances, and fiscal discipline had long been reduced to words on paper. The composition of the budget was always skewed heavily towards the rentier in a partisan fashion, rather than towards the needs of the society. On top of this, in the name of the Sovereign Wealth Fund a parallel treasury was established. Furthermore, this parallel treasury, that is not a public institution, is chaired by the President. All of this had happened long before the coronavirus crisis hit us.
In short, we were already in a chronic economic crisis, and on the brink of a serious social crisis.
3. Given these conditions, what are the channels through which the coronavirus will affect the Turkish economy? Which policies are needed?
The four dimensions of the local economic crisis noted above will only worsen with the coronavirus. What should we expect? What should we do?
There is a rising risk of unemployment and of the social crisis deepening. Health concerns require social isolation and social distance. On the economic front, this means less interaction, fewer transactions and a halting of the economy. This puts immense pressure on employment. Therefore, any policy has prioritize means to support both the already unemployed and the currently employed whose employment security is now uncertain and at great risk. The already existing social crisis will now be aggravated with concerns over health and unemployment, as a much needed strong welfare state that could prioritize protecting the vulnerable and marginalized is absent.
All policies should be introduced as an effort to build a strong welfare state.
For the heavily indebted, anxiety is building. Unemployment means the loss of income. This means significant payment difficulties for the indebted, on top of the social anxiety of unemployment. This is why there is an urgent need to reduce people's debt burden and put forth social policies that will eliminate any loss of income.
Given the global financial market's reaction to coronavirus, Turkey's already very high level of economic risk is a vulnerability. The appetite for risk of foreign funds has shrunk in the face of coronavirus crisis. Uncertainty catalyzes the reflex to return home, both for people and for money. The run to safe-havens first starts from the more risky areas. This contributes to the vicious cycle of ever-increasing risk premium for countries with structural vulnerabilities. For countries with high risk, such as Turkey, it is going to be harder to access finances and all finances will be costlier.
We need to take all measures to reduce our risk premium. Participatory democracy, transparency and inclusiveness will not only improve the healthcare governance of the pandemic but will also heal our macroeconomic health.
What awaits us at the end, given an already unhealthy fiscal policy framework, depends on the steps we decide to take. Crises like this one require expansionary fiscal policies. However, two factors require caution in designing this much needed expansionary fiscal policy: First we must revisit the existing composition of the 2020 budget. All expenses that are not urgent and necessary should be halted. For example we should start by halting the 19 billion TL that was put aside for payments to the partisan rentier firms for public-private ownership project guarantees. Second, any fiscal design should focus on immediate relief, weighing the burdens these choices might have in further deepening the existing structural problems when this crisis period is over.
In short, the budget should be revisited. A fiscal expansion that is in line with the changing needs of the society, without losing sight of avoiding the repeat of past structural "mistakes", should be put forth.
4. Who and what are in, and who and what are not in the "stability shield" measures put forth by the government?
The "stability shield" of the government includes 19 measures, but none are ones that the people need urgently. An analysis of the measures in the order of urgent needs would be as follows:
There is no social protection for ordinary people and the workforce in the "stability shield"; but there are contractors, a handful of airline companies and, once again, a credit and loan dependent economic order. We urgently need to provide social protection to the vulnerable and marginalized, and we need to stop the loss of income loss for millions of workers – employed or unemployed. Despite this urgent need, however, the economic package put forth by the government once again fails to tackle the core of the problems and remains short of supporting those who are heavily affected.
There is no income support for the people, but only more debt and more construction in the stability shield package. The measures promise more debt to households through "social credit" rather than a steady income, and further encourages the taking of mortgage loans!
What people need is not more debt but rather income protection and the reduction of basic costs in the face of this crisis. The unemployed need easier and wider access to the Unemployment Insurance Fund. Employed people, on the other hand, need the guarantee of a job and steady income. Those in need of social assistance require a stronger welfare state. Households need their debt burden to be reduced. And they definitely do not need mortgage loans; mortgage loans would serve only the contractors, if anyone at all. What households and small businesses need is not mortgage loans but rent assistance programs.
The stability shield has no goal of reducing the anxiety of millions of employees, but rather sees an opportunity to increase the flexibility of an already very precarious labor market. The "minimum wage support" is packaged as a new policy. However, this is already a right that is in place, not one that would remedy the extra costs of the coronavirus crisis.
The urgent need is to give a tax break to minimum wage earners and to ensure paid-leave for millions of workers. What is needed is to ensure social isolation by creating flexible work conditions for employees, reducing their anxiety. But instead the stability shield has opted to extend the "compensated working time" right of employers from 2 to 4 months. If the goal, as is said, is to ensure employment stability what is needed is not an extension of compensated working time but rather a ban on all firings.
The measures are inadequate to sustain a comprehensive welfare state, but rather introduce only moderate social policies. At a time when the authorities think it is OK to transfer 19 billion TL from the budget as guarantee payments to contractors of PPP's (Public-private partnerships), the shield only offers to add a mere 2 billion TL to social assistance programs. The people are not shielded. On the contrary, what is shielded is the economic structure that drives the crisis in the first place.
Employer related measures promise more debt and less tax for employers. The postponement of tax and social security employer contributions that are included in the shield package overshoot the cause of this crisis. Indeed, every such necessary measure targeting employers has to be tied to the condition of protecting employment.
As I come to the end… The most amazing measure put forth in the shield is one that once again makes "dreams come true". At a time when we are all asked/required to stay at home, the shield reduces the cost of airline tickets. You can fly without leaving your home, thanks to the shield! Clearly, the reason underlying the tourism sector's sharp collapse is not understood by the authorities. People did not stop traveling because they suddenly found it pricy, but they rather stopped out of health concerns. A reduction of airline VAT taxes is nothing but a policy to reduce tax collection by the government. What is needed is protection to an already highly seasonal, flexible and precarious working class.
What we need is a shield for the people. By insisting on policies that will ensure both public and private health, listening to and implementing the advice of scientists and experts, and with strong solidarity and hope, we will definitely overcome these tough days. Stay healthy!

I took a blog break… Interesting how the instant ease of Instagram can entice away from blogging… I realise much has been posted about these matters. The balance doesn't feel right yet for me – composing words and image for this blog gives me space to go deeper but of course now I have so many images that I am wondering where to start!
So.. after the cool blue and snows of the last post I decided on the golden yellows of the summer dye pots.
Coreopsis – a mass of sunshine globes – so stunning I nearly couldn't bring myself to cut any flower heads! A bowl for me and leave the rest and the buds for the pollinators. Such a generous plant..
Slow gentle heat and time – to watch to almost simmer, to deepen.
I have a growing precious stack of colours from this spring and summer.. and a drawing of my winter quilt stitch plan..

Please note that the writer of this article has not tried these products. All information presented is purely research-based and correct at the time of publication.
Medical News Today follows a strict product selection and vetting process. Learn more here.
Price: from around $38
Protein source: whey protein isolate
Available flavors: 18
Optimum Nutrition specializes in protein supplements. The Gold Standard 100% Whey protein powder is one of its best-selling products.
This product's main ingredient is whey protein isolate. Because this powder also contains whey protein concentrate, there are 24 grams (g) of protein in a single serving.
People can easily mix the powder with liquid by using a shaker or spoon. The company recommends mixing 1 scoop into 6–8 ounces (oz) of cold water or milk, for example.
This supplement offers a wide variety of flavor choices. The company also offers free delivery on orders over $75.
However, it is important to note that ingredients and nutritional information will vary depending on the flavor. A person should carefully consider which best fits their needs and ensure the flavor does not contain any ingredients they wish to avoid.
The nutritional facts for each serving of 1 scoop, or 29 g, of the unflavored powder are:
Protein source: 70% whey protein isolate and 30% milk protein isolate
Available flavors: 3
BiPro specializes in protein supplements and has a wide range of protein powders. The BiPro BOLD is one of its best-reviewed products.
BiPro Bold is free of lactose, gluten, and hormones. It is also Orthodox Union Kosher certified. Its main ingredient is whey protein isolate, and each serving contains 23 g of protein.
This product contains coconut oil powder without genetically modified organisms (GMO), which provides 2 g of healthy fats per serving. BiPro Bold only contains natural sweeteners and flavors.
However, this means this supplement is not suitable for people with coconut allergies.
The nutritional facts for each serving of 1 scoop, or 39 g, are:
Fat: 3.5 g
Price: around $20
Protein source: whey protein
Myprotein is a British company that recently started supplying protein supplements to the United States. The Impact Whey Protein is one of its bestsellers.
Myprotein recommends adding 25 g of this product to water or milk after a workout.
This product contains 19 g of protein and 100 calories per serving. It has three sources of whey:
These provide high quality protein with minimal fat and sugar, and speed up the absorption of protein, the company says.
Buyers can choose from packages of 10, 40, 100, and 200 servings. Additionally, the product's packaging is recyclable.
However, this product may not be suitable for people with gluten allergies. The company makes the supplement in a facility that handles gluten and eggs, and cannot guarantee there will be no cross contamination.
Protein source: whey protein without soy or recombinant bovine growth hormone
TrueNutrition specializes in nutritional supplements. The company offers its customers the opportunity to create a personal protein supplement.
The RBGH/Soy Free Whey Protein powder is one of its most highly reviewed powders.
TrueNutrition recommends mixing 1 scoop in 8–12 oz of water, juice, or milk.
This product is gluten- and soy-free, with no additional hormones or antibiotics. It is suitable for vegetarians and contains 27 g of protein per serving.
People can choose to add boosts and customize their protein powder for a small additional cost, such as including essential amino acids or beef collagen.
However, some reviewers state the protein powder can taste gritty.
The nutritional facts for each serving of 1 scoop, or 21.5 g, are:
Protein source: chicken bone broth
Available flavors: none
NOW Foods has been trading in supplements and health products since the 1960s. The Chicken Bone Broth product has the highest amount of protein per serving — 29 g.
NOW Foods recommends adding 1 scoop to 8 oz of water or another liquid.
This product is paleo and keto diet-friendly. It is suitable for people with many common food allergies and sensitivities. It contains no artificial ingredients, soy, sugar, nuts, gluten, corn, dairy, or egg.
It is also a suitable option for people who want to avoid sweeteners and vegetable oils.
However, this supplement is only available in one size.
Protein source: milk protein, whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, whey protein hydrolysate, and micellar casein
Dymatize specializes in workout supplements, and the ISO100 is one of its customer's favorite products. This makes this product a potential choice for people who want to use it before or after working out.
Dymatize recommends having 1–2 servings per day, each mixed with 5–8 oz of water, depending on the flavor.
Each serving contains 25 g of whey protein and 110 calories when mixed with water.
This product is gluten– and fat-free. It is suitable for vegetarians.
However, some customers state the powder does not mix well with water.
Protein source: egg white
This protein powder is low in carbohydrates, fat, and sugar while being high in protein. This may help build muscle and reach a person's weight goals alongside exercise and a nutritious, balanced diet.
It also has no hormones, antibiotics, artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners.
According to the company, egg whites are 21% more efficient than whey protein in building muscle. Additionally, this supplement reportedly does not have an egg smell.
However, some customers state that some flavors have a high sodium content.
Protein source: whey protein peptides and whey protein isolate
This gluten-free protein powder has 24 g of protein and 4 g of glutamine per serving. Buyers have the option of choosing between 2- and 5-pound sizes.
Glutamine can reduce fatigue by increasing glycogen synthesis and reducing the amount of ammonia in the body.
The company suggests mixing a scoop in 6 oz of cold water or skim milk and consuming it before meals, or before and after exercise.
This supplement is gluten-free. The company offers free shipping on all orders above $9.99.
However, this protein powder has fewer flavor options than many of the powders in this article.
Protein source: pea protein, rice protein, and alfalfa protein
Available flavors include: 2
This plant protein powder is suitable for vegans and those with a gluten allergy or sensitivity. Each serving contains 20 g of protein.
Additional ingredients include:
The company states this supplement contains probiotics and does not contain any soy, GMO, or artificial ingredients.
However, it has more carbohydrates and sugars, and less protein, than most other options on this list.
This protein powder contains grass-fed whey protein isolate and probiotics that the company states may help improve immune system health. This product also has a USDA Organic certification.
The company recommends consuming this supplement within 1 hour after a workout or throughout the day to improve satiety. People should mix 1 scoop with 8 oz of water.
This supplement does not contain any added sugars or artificial colors or flavors.
However, the protein powder is higher in carbohydrates than some other options.
The following table provides a comparison of the protein powders in this article.

When to contact a doctor
People do not generally need to contact a healthcare professional before consuming protein powders.
However, if any protein powders contain caffeine, a person may wish to contact a healthcare professional for advice. For example, caffeine is generally unsuitable for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It may also be unsuitable for individuals with certain health conditions.
People should immediately discontinue using protein powder if they have an allergic reaction to one or more ingredients. If a person experiences an allergic reaction, they should seek immediate medical attention.
Frequently asked questions about muscle-building protein powders
Here, we answer some common questions about protein powders.
Is protein powder good for burning fat?
Research suggests that, while whey protein can improve nitrogen excretion in people with obesity or overweight, there is no significant improvement in body composition or fat percentage.
People may find better fat loss results if they eat a balanced, nutritious diet alongside regular exercise.
Can you use protein powder as a meal replacement?
Protein powders generally do not contain the nutrients a person would otherwise consume in a balanced diet. People should not use protein powders as meal replacements.
Do you need to exercise while using protein powder to build muscle?
Protein powders do not build muscles by themselves. A person will need to exercise the muscles they wish to build.
Many kinds of protein powders are on the market, and people should check ingredient lists carefully. Some contain allergens, while others are not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.
Also, anyone with a medical condition should discuss the options with a doctor to prevent interactions and any other adverse effects.
While protein powders cannot make muscles suddenly appear, they may help people gain muscle mass when taken as directed and as a part of a nutritious, balanced diet.

Most of you understand the benefits of a promotion. The fact that you are moving forward and not standing still is a positive sign. In fact, most people who shoot for the status quo end up going backwards. Why? Doing nothing means that you are actually falling behind, and eventually you will become obsolete. When you are obsolete, you are replaced, and others wonder why it took so long to get rid of you.
There are strategies you can implement today to make yourself more marketable within your organization. I am not going to share anything totally new, and it will not be too difficult to put into practice. The hard part is recognizing the areas for improvement, and making the investment in change. That's right! You will need to transform into someone else.
Here's a fact: The routine work that you do can be done by someone earning minimum wage. If you define work as checking email, you have a mediocre mindset. I understand that reviewing your email is important, and you must do it everyday, but busy work will not set you apart from the rest of the pack.
Here is how you can be different: You receive 50 emails per day. From those emails, you determine the five that are most important. You want to know which ones contain action items that must get done ASAP. The trick is to spend the rest of the day working on those five items. The other 45 emails can wait for another day. In fact, in some cases you can ignore them altogether. Your day should consist only of doing meaningful work. Do everything possible to delegate low-level tasks, or those 45 other emails.
#2: Be Visible – Don't be Casper the Ghost!
You are right … the opposite of visible in invisible. When you are asked to attend a meeting, show up and do your part. Practice Management by Wandering Around. You want others to see that you understand the requirements, and you are willing to do your part. If your team is working on the weekends, you should also participate. In other words, when work is important, you are available. This advice alone can quickly move you to the front of the line.
"Sir, I can't stand working with Beth. She is moody." Who really cares if Beth is moody? I know I don't. I know moody people who are high-performers. Here is another fact: I think it often takes a moody person to determine if someone else is moody. Right?
Stay focused on what matters the most. You are hired to deliver results, and you must have the ability to mesh the different personalities. It is impossible to find a homogenous workforce, so be prepared for conflict. Be ready for people to complain and to tell you why things can't be done. You must avoid this problem. Take a big picture perspective. You were assigned objectives, a deadline, and a particular result. Regardless of the petty stuff that surfaces, get the work done. In the end, nothing else matters.
These three tips can make a huge difference in your career. Remember that thinking "small" will lead to "small" results. In fact, those who understand how the pieces are integrated will eventually surpass you. Assume full accountability for your future, and avoid getting bogged down by the stuff that doesn't matter.

COSAFA Cup / Swazi coach Mdluli confident after good preparations
Swazi coach Mdluli confident after good preparations
Sihlangu coach Anthony Mdluli's confidence levels are sky high following good preparations for the COSAFA Cup.
The Swaziland national side are fresh from a 1-0 win over Kenya in an international friendly at Kenyatta Stadium in Nairobi on Friday. Reacting to the result, Mdluli said it was all promising ahead of the COSAFA Cup quarter-final clash against Lesotho next Saturday.
Even though it was not an official match Mdluli saw light at the end of the tunnel after he recorded his second win as Sihlangu coach.
"We are pleased as the technical bench and players for the positive result. The players really worked hard for the victory. Kenya are very good. They play good football," said Mdluli.
Mdluli said his troops remained tactically disciplined throughout the game.
"Defensively, we were well organised. We are pleased about that, as it is also an important part of the game," he noted.
He said the match helped them spot their weak areas ahead of next Saturday's clash with Lesotho's 'Likuena Likuena'. The annual tournament, which started on Sunday, is hosted by South Africa in Polokwane until June 9.
In all his three preparatory matches Mdluli, is celebrating an unbeaten run. His first match in charge was a goal-less draw with Seychelles. The next assignment was against visiting Namibia on April 19 and Swaziland won by a solitary goal. He is the first local coach to take the Swaziland side to the regional tournament after Harries 'Madze' Bulunga, who steered the team to a bronze medal in 2016.
In charge in the past year was Dutch coach Pieter de Dongh. The latter, who was assisted by Mdluli, was sacked early this year.
