LILLIE -- DVD review by porfle
When we first got cable TV back in the late 70s, one of my newfound delights was getting to watch British telly on PBS. In addition to "Monty Python", "Fawlty Towers", and all the other usual stuff, this included a 13-episode "Masterpiece Theatre" serial about Lillie Langtry which, for some reason, had me glued to the screen for its entire run.
Why was I hooked on what amounted to a lavishly-mounted, delightfully decadent soap opera that consisted of little more than the interpersonal relationships and illicit affairs of a bunch of idle upperclass twits? I'm not quite sure, but watching Acorn Media's 4-disc DVD set LILLIE (1978) has given me a chance to relive the whole thing and get addicted to this nineteenth-century version of "The Rich and the Restless" all over again.
Lillie Langtry, as we all know (or not), started life as poor Jersey island girl Emilie Le Breton, a tomboy with six brothers who escaped her rural life by marrying the leisure-class yachtsman and trout fisherman Edward Langtry. After moving to London, Lillie discovered that her new husband was near destitute and dependant on a small allowance from his family. Fortunately, her great beauty and social confidence quickly earned her a place as the most sought-after woman in British society.
Francesca Annis (AGATHA CHRISTIE'S PARTNERS IN CRIME: THE TOMMY & TUPPENCE MYSTERIES, DUNE) is not only radiantly beautiful in the title role, but gives a bravura performance that captures every nuance of Lillie's personality from her most brazen and rebellious to her most insecure. She inhabits the role just as convincingly as a naive fifteen-year-old first attracting the attention of the opposite sex (her first suitor is shocked to learn her true age while requesting her hand in marriage) as she will be in Lillie's wistful twilight years (despite some rather iffy old-age makeup).
Lillie's loveless relationship with the dullard Edward gives the series its most gripping moments, with Anton Rodgers superb as the increasingly pathetic and irrelevant husband who detests Lillie's way of life but must dutifully play along or risk both his family's displeasure and withdrawal of financial support. It's to the credit of both Rodgers and main scriptwriter David Butler that the character isn't entirely vilified but shown in an almost sympathetic light as he spirals ever downward into alcoholism and finally madness.
Despite the fact that Edward will continually deny Lillie the divorce she badly wants, this will do nothing to deter her from engaging in numerous torrid affairs with everyone from the Prince of Wales (Denis Lill as a robust "Bertie") to rich American tycoons, with even Wild West frontiersman Judge Roy Bean seeking her attention. There's a certain vicarious thrill to watching her scramble up the social ladder while challenging the stiff conformity of her new peers at every turn, even though her life amounts to little more than one meaningless party or empty love affair after another.
When financial ruin forces her to seek employment as an actress, this only leads to greater success and fame that will extend to America as well. The series follows her exploits on both continents as her various theatrical tours cut a swath of notoriety wherever she goes, each scandal seemingly making her more popular than before.
All the while, her entourage of fervent admirers grows to include famous artists such as James Whistler (Don Fellows) and her lifelong friend and confidant Oscar Wilde (the excellent Peter Egan), whose sharp-witted presence gives LILLIE a scintillating sparkle. Jennie Linden is likable as Lillie's relatively down-to-earth high society pal Patsy Cornwallis-West. Joanna David plays her illegitimate daughter Jeanne Marie, who, in some of the series most heartfelt moments, ultimately rejects her mother after discovering the true identity of her father. (Look quick for 007's Desmond "Q" Llewelyn as Lord Dudley.)
Following the usual practice of the era, the show's exteriors are filmed while the interiors are shot on videotape. Thanks mainly to some skillful lighting, however, the effect is less jarring than in many British TV shows of the time. Overall, the production is solid on both sides of the camera--the sort of compelling period drama, done with taste and subtlety, that only British television seems capable of rendering to such a fine turn.
The 4-disc DVD set from Acorn Media is in 4:3 full screen with Dolby Digital sound. No subtitles, but closed-captioning is available. Extras consist of cast filmographies and an insert featuring an essay on Lillie Langtry's lasting impact on pop culture.
While many will undoubtedly regard it as rather pointless and boring, I find LILLIE both nostalgic and compelling, and, for those who enjoy this sort of thing, first-class stuff all the way. It's soap opera of the most sophisticated and decadently delicious kind--like a box of extremely rich chocolates, it almost feels fattening to watch.

Ensure that you are still in the `versioned_dir` directory, and then create
a new file called `README.MD`, e.g.

```
nano README.MD
```

Into this file, copy the following text

```
# Hello World

This is a text file that we are going to add to Git.

We will use Git to record all of the versions of this file,
letting us move back and forth through time.

For example, in this first version of the file we
will say that the cat goes woof.
```

Save this file. Now, if you list the contents of the `versioned_dir`
directory it should contain the file `README.MD`, e.g.

```
ls
```

should return

```
README.MD
```

By adding the file to `versioned_dir`, we have changed the contents
of this directory. Git is aware of this change. You can see what Git
knows by typing the command

```
git status
```

You should see output similar to this

```
# On branch master
#
# Initial commit
#
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#	README.MD
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
```

The important part of this (slightly confusing) output is that you
can see that `README.MD` is listed under `Untracked files:`. This shows
that Git knows that `README.MD` has been added to the directory, but
that Git is going to ignore this file.

To add this file to the list that Git will monitor, you need to use
the `git add` command. You use `git add` to add files or subdirectories
that you want Git to version control. To tell Git to version control
`README.MD` please type;

```
git add README.MD
```

Now, retype `git status` to see what Git knows about this directory.
You should see output similar to this

```
# On branch master
#
# Initial commit
#
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)
#
#	new file:   README.MD
#
```

Can you see in this output that Git now recognises that `README.MD` is a new file
which has been added to this directory?

AFFIDAVIT DATED JULY 31, 1871
Affidavit of Rachel Fletcher, a daughter of Elizabeth Claypoole (Betsy Ross)"I remember having heard my mother Elizabeth Claypoole say frequently that she, with her own hands, (while she was the widow of John Ross,) made the first Star-spangled Banner that ever was made. I remember to have heard her also say that it was made on the order of a Committee, of whom Col. Ross was one, and that Robert Morris was also one of the Committee. That General Washington, acting in conference with the committee, called with them at her house. This house was on the North side of Arch Street a few doors below Third Street, above Bread Street, a two story house, with attic and a dormer window, now standing, the only one of the row left, the old number being 89; it was formerly occupied by Daniel Niles, Shoemaker. Mother at first lived in the house next East, and when the war came, she moved into the house of Daniel Niles. That it was in the month of June 1776, or shortly before the Declaration of Independence that the committee called on her. That the member of the committee named Ross was an uncle of her deceased husband. That she was previously well acquainted with Washington, and that he had often been in her house in friendly visits, as well as on business. That she had embroidered ruffles for his shirt bosoms and cuffs, and that it was partly owing to his friendship for her that she was chosen to make the flag. That when the committee (with General Washington) came into her store she showed them into her parlor, back of her store; and one of them asked her if she could make a flag and that she replied that she did not know but she could try. That they then showed her a drawing roughly executed, of the flag as it was proposed to be made by the committee, and that she saw in it some defects in its proportions and the arrangement and shape of the stars. That she said it was square and a flag should be one third longer than its width, that the stars were scattered promiscuously over the field, and she said they should be either in lines or in some adopted form as a circle, or a star, and that the stars were six-pointed in the drawing, and she said they should be five pointed. That the gentlemen of the committee and General Washington very respectfully considered the suggestions and acted upon them, General Washington seating himself at a table with a pencil and paper, altered the drawing and then made a new one according to the suggestions of my mother. That General Washington seemed to her to be the active one in making the design, the others having little or nothing to do with it. That the committee then requested her to call on one of their number, a shipping merchant on the wharf, and then adjourned. That she was punctual to her appointment, and then the gentleman drew out of a chest an old ship's color which he loaned her to show her how the sewing was done; and also gave her the drawing finished according to her suggestions. That this drawing was done in water colors by William Barrett, an artist, who lived on the North side of Cherry Street above Third Street, a large three story brick house on the West side of an alley which ran back to the Pennsylvania Academy for Young Ladies," [note missing open quotation mark, probably meant before "Pennsylvania Academy" --Webmaster] kept by James A. Neal, the best school of the kind in the city at that time. That Barrett only did the painting, and had nothing to do with the design. He was often employed by mother afterwards to paint the coats of arms of the United States and of the States on silk flags. That other designs had also been made by the committee and given to other seamstresses to make, but that they were not approved. That mother went diligently to work upon her flag and soon finished it, and returned it, the first star-spangled banner that ever was made, to her employers, that it was run up to the peak of one of the vessels belonging to one of the committee then lying at the wharf, and was received with shouts of applause by the few bystanders who happened to be looking on. That the committee on the same day carried the flag into the Congress sitting in the State House, and made a report presenting the flag and the drawing and that Congress unanimously approved and accepted the report. That the next day Col. Ross called upon my mother and informed her that her work had been approved and her flag adopted, and he gave orders for the purchase of all the materials and the manufacture of as many flags as she could make. And that from that time forward, for over fifty years she continued to make flags for the United States Government.
I believe the facts stated in the foregoing Article entitled "The First American Flag and Who Made It," are all strictly true. This affidavit having been signed by Rachel Fletcher with violet ink, the signature has faded, but is at this time, Seventh Month 24th, 1908, still plainly legible.
Rachel Fletcher
I, Mary Fletcher Wigert, daughter of the said Rachel Fletcher, recognize the signature in the rectangular space outlined in black above, as the signature of my mother Rachel Fletcher.

STOCKTON: High school seniors are in their prime as they are applying to colleges and universities outside of California. All the stress and countless nights of not getting any sleep will all be worth it when clicking that "submit" button. Now all we have to do is wait. The waiting game is truly one of the worst games to play when waiting for college acceptances and, let's face reality, the possible rejection letters. I asked 25 Lincoln High School seniors where they would be attending college, and three out of five of them said that they were going to stay in California while the other two wanted to go out of state to explore their options without having their parents so close to them. Some seniors want to grow on their own and without parents hovering over their head.
The seniors who wanted to stay in California mentioned that they tend to get homesick and want to stay close so that it's only a drive away from home. Others are moving for the once in a lifetime opportunities like being recruited by coaches in different states or the chance to pursue their dream job. When asked about college inspirations, many seniors expressed, "I want to further my education so I can have a better future for myself." Some students explained in detail that they are the first generation attending college and that they're going to prove that education is very important growing up and how much they can impact the world.
Ultimately, all students interviewed said something similar to, "college will be worth it because I can prove to myself that I am capable of achieving what I dreamt I would be when I got older." While many seniors eagerly await their acceptance letters, they will have to wait a bit longer! May, 2023 is the Decision Day deadlines for deciding which college to attend, and the Lincolnian plans to follow some seniors on their road to college!

Music, Pop Culture/Rock & Roll
Death of a Beastie Boy
I was saddened to hear about the death, just before Shabbat, of MCA (Adam Yauch) from the Beastie Boys, because I've always liked their music (there's a band who matured and deepened dramatically over the years) and because MCA always seemed like a righteous guy.
But his death also prompts a few thoughts about identity. I remember a few years ago there was a news item in the Jerusalem Report about the Beastie Boys' visit to Israel, and how bemused and startled they were when they realized that they had become role models to a generation of Jewish youth.
They were the real deal, but it makes me think about how in every generation young Jews especially Jewish boys look to other cultures for roots and for escape. We look especially, it seems, towards African-American culture.
The Beastie Boys were Jewish pioneers in an African-American milieu (hip-hop). That itself is part of a grand history of partnerships between blacks and Jews in American music in blues, R & B, jazz, and funk before the preeminence of rap. And the Beastie Boys stood out because they weren't poseurs; their music was the real deal: complex, exploratory, creative, humorous, righteous, and fun.
Which is not to say that there should be ghettos of "Jewish music" or that the Beastie Boys didn't have a clear sense of exactly what they were doing. They always seemed to be aware that their work was absolutely authentic and mildly ridiculous at the same time, which is an appealing combination. But all those 80s and 90s Jewish kids in their baggy pants and urban patois didn't generally seem to have the same sense of self-awareness as MCA, Mike D, and Ad-Rock. I got a sense that urban culture for those kids was an escape from the middle- and upper-middle class conformist identities that they had inherited, including a rather tepid form of Judaism. The Beastie Boys became role models because they were recognizably not from the street, but from those similar sorts of Jewish homes; they were cool and undeniably Jewish at the same time.
If you're like me, you blanch when you have to fill out a biographical form and under "race/ethnic background" your choices are: white/black/Latino/Asian/Aleutian Islander... and you don't know what to check off. Knowing the history of anti-Jewish prejudice, as well as the desire to be something different like all those hip-hop kids, makes it really hard to check off "white." When I'm feeling particularly ornery, I sometimes write in "Jewish" when asked to list my "race." Since when did Jews become "white folks", with all those connotations of bourgeois conformity? (I borrowed the phrase from a study of Jews in America by Karen Brodkin called How Jews Became White Folks and What That Says About Race in America.)
I happen to think that authentic Judaism is radical, provocative, intellectually rigorous, and potentially dangerous; a far cry from everything that is connoted by the lame term "white." But those of us in Jewish education are still fighting a battle against the mid-century conformist mindset that the Coen Brothers skewered so knowingly in A Serious Man.
As far as I know, the Beastie Boys never tapped into those Jewish sources to inform their art. Still, there was something very recognizable in their attitude and their music to young Jewish boys, and their desire for something a little... cooler than what they've been handed. The next step, for ourselves and the next generation, is to rediscover that coolness that remains inherent in Judaism.

My goal is to publish new posts twice a week — Mondays and Thursdays. However, if you don't see a new post on Thursday, it's because I was too busy, so please look for a new one the following Monday. No Thursday post this week because of a brief holiday. Hope to have a new post on Monday, but it might be Tuesday.
Sotheby's New York held its Important Tiffany sale on December 15, 2011, a day after Bonham's New York held its 20th Century Decorative Arts sale. Sotheby's separated its 53 Tiffany Studios's items into one catalog and its Important 20th Century Design items into another. Continuing the excellent results for Tiffany Studios items, the sale totaled $4,597,875, with 83.0% of the offerings sold by lot and 78.2% by value. That worked out to an impressive average price of $104,497 per sold lot. The Important 20th Century Design portion of the sale grossed $5,106,251, for a combined total of $9,704,126.
Top lot of the sale was #238, a beautiful Tiffany Studios Wisteria table lamp, which sold for $842,500, including buyer's premium — well above the pre-sale estimate of $400,000 – $600,000.
The most mystifying result of the sale was lot #231, a set of three relatively simple (except for the bronze balls) Tiffany Studios wall sconces. Estimated to sell for $25,000 – $35,000, they sold for an astonishing $182,500. Bidding slowed and almost finished near $45,000, when two determined phone bidders continued to duke it out to $182,500. Another happy consignor hit the jackpot! There's no other way to describe it. If I had displayed these sconces at a show and asked $182,500, I would have been laughed out of the show.
Prices and interest have been steadily rising on original artworks by Tiffany. The current exhibition at the Nassau County Museum of Art in Roslyn, Long Island, NY, displays a vast collection of Tiffany artwork. (More on that in a subsequent blog.) Perhaps that had some influence on the sale of lot #201, a small, original oil painting on panel by Louis Comfort Tiffany, of a Mediterranean seascape. Estimated to sell for $15,000 – $20,000, it realized $53,125.
For the complete results of the Tiffany sale, click on the following link. Sotheby's Tiffany results.
Bonham's New York held its 20th Century Decorative Arts sale on December 14, 2011. The sale went well, with choice items and reasonably estimated items doing best. Lots with overly strong estimates and/or reserves either did not do well or failed to sell.
Top lot of the sale was #3168, an Art Deco bronze and ivory statue by Demetre Chiparus, entitled "Clara", sold together with a champlevé enamel pedestal. Aggressively estimated at $100,000 – $200,000, it sold for $98,500, including buyer's premium, below the low estimate. That meant that the reserve was set lower than the low estimate. By New York State law, the reserve cannot be set higher than the low estimate. Other Art Deco bronze and ivory figures by Ferdinand Preiss were more conservatively estimated and sold well, most at or above the high estimates.
Other good results were a Tiffany Studios 20″ diameter Daffodil table lamp, lot #3073, $50,000; a gorgeous Tiffany Favrile blue decorated vase, lot #3029, $10,625; and a Gallé two-handled vase with leaves and a grasshopper, lot #3080, $11,875. For the complete results, click on the following link Bonham's results.
December is always a very busy month for antiques, mostly for buying, and not as much for selling. People get busy with their Christmas shopping and that doesn't usually include a valuable antique. But sometimes it does, so I'm always ready to provide emergency service. If you still need a fine antique gift, I can work very quickly and so can UPS or FedEx.
Among the many Tiffany Studios items I bought are vases — red, red decorated, Cypriote, millifiori, etc. For lamps, I purchased a 20″ Arrowroot, a 10-light lily and a 7-light lily. For miscellaneous, I have a Tiffany Studios pottery vase, lots of desk items, and an incredible Art Nouveau smoker stand with original enameling, unlike any I've owned before.
The French cameo glass market, especially Daum Nancy, has been solid for years, and shows no signs of slowing. I recently acquired some fabulous items, including a very rare and beautiful farm scene, two rain scenes and an unbelievable collection of about 25 miniature vases.
You can see everything I have for sale if you visit me at one of my winter shows. The first will be at Birchwood Manor in Whippany, NJ, the weekend of January 7-8, 2012. Then a week's break and off to Florida for the start of our Florida circuit, first in Palm Beach (Jan. 20-22), then two in Miami (Jan. 27-29 and Feb. 2-6), and then back to W. Palm Beach (Feb. 18-21). If you can't visit me at one of my shows, I'm always available by email, philchasen@aol.com, or phone, 516-922-2090. We can ship to anywhere from anywhere.
Christie's New York held an Interiors sale on December 8, 2011. Two lots that I was following had very interesting results.
Lot #82 was a gray R. Lalique vase, entitled "Senlis". I knew that Senlis was a very good model because it had bronze handles. The problem was that I only knew enough about R. Lalique glass to be dangerous. I'm not nearly as knowledgeable about Lalique as I am about French cameo glass or Tiffany Favrile glass. I hoped that perhaps it would go unnoticed and slip through the cracks. Wrong! Estimated to sell for $2,000 – $3,000, it sold for $40,000, including the buyer's premium. I would have gambled up to $10,000, but not more since I didn't really know the value. Obviously others did.
Lot #235 was listed as: A FRENCH BISQUE AUTOMATON DOLL STANDING BEFORE A CHEVAL MIRROR, with an estimate of $800 – $1,200. The lot was actually two dolls — one seated and the second an automaton with a mirror. Apparently the dolls were way better than estimated, as they sold for $20,000, including buyer's premium. Again, I knew enough about dolls to be dangerous. Many years ago, I bought about 100 dolls from one collection and learned the basics from that experience. So I knew that to sell for $20,000, there had to be something else going on. I never had a chance to examine the dolls in person, but I suspect that one was made by an important French maker, like Bru, Jumeau or others. That would explain it.
Knowledge is power. Need more proof?
My goal is to publish new posts twice a week — Mondays and Thursdays. However, if you don't see a new post on Thursday, it's because I was too busy, so please look for a new one the following Monday. There will be a post this Thursday about of couple of nice surprises at Christie's Interior sale.
South Bay Auctions of East Moriches, Long Island held a Fine Art, Antiques & Sporting auction on Saturday, December 10, 2011. Included in the sale were a pair of andirons that were sold as lot #263, with the following description: Pair of Art Nouveau nickel plated bronze torchieres with iridescent stained glass tops, 23-1/2″h; one misshapen, loss to plating. No estimate was listed for them. It's likely they were sold without reserve.
Torchieres they weren't, as there was no way they could provide light. Rather, they were nickel-plated bronze andirons. A detail photo of the back shows where the cast iron portion was originally inserted. It had been cut off somewhere in its history.
The proof that they were Tiffany Studios was in the top — leaded turtleback tiles. Fabulous! The quality, materials and workmanship all screamed Tiffany Studios. The andirons were unsigned, but Tiffany didn't sign everything. Every once in a while, something got out unsigned.
The bidding started at a few hundred dollars and continued in hundreds until about $2,000. Then a phone bidder jumped the bid to $5,000 (a failed attempt to scare off the other bidders). After a few thousand more dollars, the live audience dropped out and left the bidding to two determined phone bidders. Again the bidders jumped a few bids, until the final price of $28,000, for a total of $33,040, including the buyer's premium. I've got a pretty good idea of who the bidders were, but that's not for publication. In my opinion, if the pair were signed and in better condition, they could have brought double or more at a major auction house in New York City. In the meantime, I'm sure the consignor was thrilled with the result.
Knowledge is power, and this item was another example.
Every major and not so major auction house holds a 20th Century decorative arts sale in November or December. I'll cover many of them this month. Today's post will be about the results at Julia's. My goal is to publish new posts twice a week — Mondays and Thursdays. However, if you don't see a new post on Thursday, it's because I was too busy, so please look for a new one the following Monday.
James D. Julia, Inc. held its semi-annual Important Lamp & Glass Auction on December 1 and 2, 2011, in Fairfield, Maine. The sale totaled $1.5 million, at the high range of expectations for the head of the department, Dudley Browne. As has been the case of recent, some categories performed better than expected and others faltered. There's no clear pattern, so it's difficult to extrapolate forward. Victorian glass, which had not done well recently, did well at this auction. Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre did poorly after doing well in the last sale.
A pair of cut glass decanters, one of which was pale amber, sold for $22,425, against a pre-sale estimate of $200 – $400, over 100 times the low estimate. Apparently the amber one was quite rare. Nice home run for the consignor.
The cover lot, a spectacular wheel-carved Eugene Michel French cameo glass vase, took off. Estimated properly at $10,000 – $15,000, it quadrupled its low estimate to sell for $47,150, including buyer's premium. Michel vases can command high prices when the workmanship is super, and this one was super.
At this sale, Daum did marginally better than Galle. The top lot of the Daum glass was a 25″ tube vase, decorated with roses, insects and applied cabochons. It sold for $13,800, including buyer's premium, slightly below its low estimate. Much of the French glass in the sale was fresh, from a private Long Island consignor.
Tiffany Studios watercolor sketches of stained glass windows did extremely sell, selling for 6 to 15 times their estimates. The highest price was paid for lot #3300, a watercolor sketch of a Tiffany window. It brought $18,400, against a pre-sale estimate of $2,000 – $3,000.
Tiffany lamps that were in the sale with aggressive estimates and reserves failed to sell, whereas most of the lamps with conservative estimates sold.

Every major and not so major auction house holds a 20th Century decorative arts sale in November or December. Today's post will be about the results at Heritage. I hope to be able to publish Thursday about Julia's results. My goal is to publish new posts twice a week — Mondays and Thursdays. However, if you don't see a new post on Thursday, it's because I was too busy, so please look for a new one the following Monday.
Heritage held its Art Glass Signature Auction on November 19, 2011 with excellent results. Top lot of the sale was a Tiffany 16″ Daffodil table lamp, lot #62001, received as a wedding gift in 1917 by the present owner. (How old does that make the present owner?) It realized a price of $56,762.50, close to the high estimate of $30,000 – $50,000.
Second highest was a rare, fine Tiffany Favrile paperweight vase, 9″ tall. It was part of a consignment of fresh-to-the-market items that had been in storage since the 1940s. You can't get fresher than that, nor better quality. Estimated very low at $3,000 – $4,000, it soared to $50,787.50. That wasn't a huge surprise, considering the rarity and quality.
From the same 1940s consignment was a very fine artistic Daum Nancy vase, Orchides. Artistic vases are one-of-a-kind, usually found in museum collections. The vase brought the highest price for French cameo glass, selling for $34,655, against a pre-sale estimate of $8,000 – $12,000. However, personally I thought the vase would do even better. My best guess is that the strange shape deterred some buyers (including me).
Many other items did well in the sale, which grossed $1.84 million. For the complete results, click on the following link. Heritage Art Glass results. You will have to sign in (free) to see the results.

Fighting talk from Putin's number-one target
Posted by Leopold Kraus | Oct 1, 2020 | News | 0 |
Alexei Navalny has said that he is certain that Vladimir Putin ordered the assassination attempt on his life that nearly succeeded.
In an interview with German new magazine Der Spiegel, the opposition activist said that it was only due to a chain of lucky circumstances that he didn't die after the poisoning with Novichok on August 20.
"You feel no pain, but you know you're dying. Straight away," he said. If he had not received urgent medical care "it would have just been a suspicious death".
The Russian doctors who treated him used antidotes for poison, but later said they had found no trace of poisoning in Navalny's body, presumably acting on instructions from Moscow.
Navalny has largely recovered after spending four weeks in a hospital in Berlin, but still suffers symptoms such as shaking hands.
Putin decided to try to kill him because of his fear of what he called a "Belarus situation." In recent months there have been large demonstrations in Russia's far east, where the Kremlin's power is not as absolute as it is in Moscow.
"The system is fighting for its survival and we've just felt the consequences," Navalny said.
He repeated his pledge to return to Russia: "Not going back would mean that Putin had achieved his goal… I will not give Putin the gift of not returning to Russia."

Bursa Büyükşehir Belediyespor has reached the final of CEV Challenge Cup after it beat Nantes for the second time, achieving a clean score in both games.
The Turkish team will now be meeting Olympiacos in the final in April. Olympiacos beat Dinamo Krasnodar in straight sets.
Nantes, happy to play the CEV Challenge Cup semifinal for the first time in their history, welcomed its Bursa BBSK at Mangin Beaulieu.
After losing the first match 0-3, Nantes had a big goal as they wanted to push the titleholders to play a decisive Golden Set to qualify for the final.
The French team, playing in front of a big crowd, kicked off the match with an 8-6 lead and the game continued to be tight.
Nantes played very carefully, led by Pauliina Vilponen, but couldn't win the first set facing a full-of-confidence Turkish team and its outside spiker Emiliya Dimitrova, who eventually helped them towards a 25-18 win.
Bursa increased the intensity of its game at the very beginning of the second set, widening its advantage (8-2, 16-6). Despite a good series of points by Nantes towards the end of the set, the Turkish club won it 25-16, thus putting an end to Nantes's hopes of progressing to the next phase.
Nantes, already eliminated from the competition, tried to resist until the end of the last set, but the visitor emerged victorious once more (25-23) to seal another 3-0 victory.
Berit Kauffeldt, a middle blocker of Nantes said: "We played against a better team. Bursa was stronger than us and we couldn't reverse the trend in this semifinal match."
Sylvain Quinquis, coach of Nantes said: "Bursa didn't give us any chance. They dominated this semifinal. We do not have any regrets. Our journey in this competition is already a success."

An Eating Disorder with a disability – A story of recovery
There are many factors that go into someone developing an Eating Disorder. For some a disability might be one of the triggers that influence the development of an Eating Disorder and it may even perpetuate the illness.
Mouna Yassine was born with albinism and a visual impairment. She is very nearsighted and with an underdeveloped iris, glasses don't help. Mouna says she didn't really notice she was different until she went to school and kids started bullying her because of her pale skin and hair and inability to see properly. "I started to feel kind of that I was just not right. Something was wrong with me," she remembers. "I felt a lot of lack of control in my life and my surroundings because of being hurt by others so ultimately I went to food. Food was the only thing I felt that I had control over."
For 13-year-old Mouna the Eating Disorder felt like an escape. No matter what happened at school, like the bullying or feeling like she was an outsider, she could always go back to Eating Disorder behaviours for comfort. "In a way it just took me to a different world other than my reality," she says.
Mouna started her recovery when she was 16 but says it was really hard to let go of the Eating Disorder because it had been her comfort zone for so long. Her visual impairment also continued to make her feel like an outcast…even in treatment, where everyone was supportive and welcoming. Because of all the bullying she had endured she felt like she had to keep people at a distance to protect herself. "I think that was a huge factor for me while I continued to go in and out of treatment," she says. "I kept getting sick again and again because I couldn't connect with everyone."
It took Mouna 10 years and 12 rounds of treatment to finally open up about her disability, which she believes was a key component to her recovery. "I think a lot of us with disabilities kind of try to push it away in hoping that's not the reason why I'm sick," she says. "It's not the whole reason for me, of course, but it definitely played a huge role."
Mouna has been in remission from her Eating Disorder for four years now, and is starting her Masters in counselling psychology in the fall. Sometimes those feelings of inadequacy due to her disability come back, but with the skills she has learned in treatment she is able to move past them and protect her recovery. "I keep pushing through and I keep reminding myself, looking at my life now, every time I feel that way, I am able to go on," she says. "I have accomplished a lot of things despite my visual impairment so checking those facts was really important for me to keep going."
Mouna would encourage anyone with a disability who is entering treatment to be open to talking about how their disability has affected their life and Eating Disorder. In her experience there may be a lot of fear and shame involved in opening up, but it is an important part of the healing process. "It really opened my eyes up," she says. "It made me realize that not everyone is going to judge me because of it. There are really good people in the world."
In recovery it is also very important to have a support system to validate accomplishments and serve as motivation to keep going. "Let everyone kind of support you and be there for you because that's the whole point of treatment," Mouna says. "Tell everyone that that's how you feel in the moment and work from there."
Mouna says that for her, it was important to go through a grieving process in terms of her physical limitations; but in the end she came to a point of acceptance with her visual impairment. She is now very focused on living her life to the fullest and not letting her disability or Eating Disorder get in her way. "Eventually you will get to an acceptance point of accepting yourself for who you are and then once that happens, magical things can happen" she says. "You realize that you are so capable of a lot of things."

This lesson takes approximately 40 minutes to complete.
Setting up your project involves making a few basic decisions, yet setting up correctly can make the difference between a smooth workflow or one that is fraught with difficulty. By taking the time to investigate each component of your system and the ramifications of your choices, you can avoid problems. For instance, working through all the tape requirements of your project might save you from using an inappropriate tape format and let you avoid having to transfer everything from, say, DV to BetaSP.
Online and offline editing share many basic editing principles, and it's advantageous to examine both workflows when determining your project requirements.
The first step in learning how to set up your project is to understand the basic editing formats: standard definition video (SD), high definition video (HD), and data files. You also need to understand the various components of your project, which can be broken down into two different categories: media (the tapes and hard drives you'll use to store your picture and sound) and hardware (computers and displays; the more permanent aspect of your project). This lesson lists the most common forms of a given component as well as factors that will influence your choices. With this in mind, your task of selecting the components will boil down to a few straightforward decisions.

Ecology of Australian Freshwater Fishes
Stylus892
This edited volume reviews our past and present understanding of the ecology of Australian freshwater fishes. It compares patterns and processes in Australia with those on other continents, discusses the local relevance of ecological models from the northern hemisphere and considers how best to manage our species and their habitats in the face of current and future threats. In view of these challenges, the need for redress is urgent.
The chapters are written by some of our foremost researchers and managers, developing themes that underpin our knowledge of the ecology, conservation and management of fish and fish habitats. For each theme, the authors formulate a synthesis of what is known, consider the need for new perspectives and identify gaps and opportunities for research, monitoring and management. The themes have an Australian context but draw upon ideas and principles developed by fish biologists in other parts of the world.
The science of freshwater fish ecology in Australia has grown rapidly from its roots in natural history and taxonomy. This book offers an introduction for students, researchers and managers, one that the authors hope will carry Australian fish biology and resource management to new levels of understanding.

Biological evidence: Dehydrated skin, made more fragile by irritants, loses its glow. To be rehydrated, the skin needs help generating within its depths the water that is indispensable to its natural balance, and retaining this water at its surface.
BIODERMA's biological answer: The AquageniumTM biological complex stimulates the skin's natural moisturising capacities to generate the water the skin needs to be balanced deeply. Thanks to an emulsion inspired by the structure of epidermis the active ingredients penetrate in a targeted manner. Rehydrated, the skin is comfortable, supple and radiant. In a lasting way.

Hi it's Tom and Saran from chat guesthouse (the ones who had to leave mid convo). Just wanted to say that we're uber inspired by your travels and good luck for the future.
Also if reading correctly that your going into Laos tomorrow we'd recommend going to place called konglor cave, in central laos near a town called thakek. We did our own little bike adventure, only 4 days so nothing in comparison, but we ended up at this cave and it was amazing! A 7km network of caves that are all dark, you go through in a boat along the river that flows inside and wear headlamps to look around. Some of the chambers are so big our light barely reached the top. We both really enjoyed it and in that area of Laos people are so so friendly, perhaps cus it's a little of the usual tourist route.
Anyways, mainly wanted to say good luck for your travels.
Ps. Actually I was kind of wondering how do you plan to get your bikes to California?
300 days! Oh my goodness! Maybe half as many again before we next see you. Miss you both so much.
Just had a peruse over your tips and kits sections and i feel utterly prepared to face the open road…..knife, no; she-wee, yes.
good writing….although i must say not a scratch on Nana, can we have some more of that please mum?
Ha ha, yes we may have to give Nana a weekly slot. I don't think there are many motorcycle websites getting regular commentary from a 99 year old!!
Thanks everyone for all the nice comments (and for the advice on Laos, Tom and Saran). We're certainly are still loving it, though I think 'bravest of the brave' might be pushing it just a little!!!….
PS Having had a look at your updated kit list, are you sure you haven't got the Top Gear back-up travelling with you?!!
Very impressed by your writing and the sheer immense-ness of the undertaking. Cheering you on day by day. Congrats on your milestone. Big hugs!
