"Gratitude is a prayer and praise put together, because God is in all."
Sat Nam and Summer Solstice blessings! Today, we welcome the longest day of the year and celebrate its life giving rays.
Confession time. Life has been a doozy of a roller coaster over the last two weeks. I feel like I'm back on track now, but I let fear drive the bus for a little bit and it did nothing but take me off course.
I love this time of year. There is something potent about these dark winter months, the seeds lying dormant underground until they germinate break through with new life in the spring. We can all relate to that feeling; it is a palpable energy. Setting a new goal is intoxicating, and as a recovering perfectionist, I get downright giddy about it.
I lost my job this week.


With my man working and the boy at the beach with friends, my girl and I decided to enjoy a very warm Wednesday night at the Queen Victoria Summer Night Market. It was pretty nice. We were overwhelmed by the array of tempting food. What to choose, what to choose? Greek, Indian, Asian, Italian, macarons, crêpes, gelato? We thought the pizza at the 400 Gradi stall looked pretty delish but decided eating pizza is not a particularly novel dining choice so thought we'd go for something a little bit different. We opted, instead, for chicken momo and Nepalese style grilled chicken from the Nepal Dining Room. The plan was to sample a bit of this and then move on to something else but my girl decided what were eating was too yum to not consume it all! So polish it off we did! We had a nice little food chat to the people we shared our table with. They were peeling some pretty fat and fresh looking prawns and licking fingers after consuming a pork slider. The homemade lemonade from the Traditional Lemonade Stand was excellent for slaking our thirst on a hot summer night.
We do love a cake and a crêpe but when it's over 30 degrees there's no option other than gelato, is there? I chose the salted caramel and my girl went for the bacione from Mercato Gelato. Severe melty, drippy problems were incurred by my girl which were pretty precarious with a white t-shirt on. There were some interesting arm contortions in the interests of maintaining pristine clothing as we wandered around the stalls selling vintage and handmade clothing, nice smelly stuff, and jewellery.
We loved hearing the happy hubbub of people sharing the night with family and friends, the live music playing in the background, and inhaling the smells of so many different foods cooking. If it's a balmy Melbourne night and you're in town maybe you might like to pop in too? We might have to go back and sample some of the other food stalls. Do you like going to markets? Do you like foodie ones? The Night Market runs until 30 March 2016 (closed 23 and 30 December).

\section{Positive scalar curvature inequalities by Gromov and Zhu}
\label{sec:results-gromov-zhu}

We will need the following result by Jintian Zhu, which was already
alluded to in the introduction.

\begin{thm}[\cite{zhu2020rigidity}, Theorem 1.2]\label{thm-zhu}
  Let $(M^n,g)$ be a closed manifold of dimension at most seven such
  that:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item $\scal_g\geq 2$;
  \item there exists a map $F:M^n\to\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{T}^{n-2}$
    with non-vanishing degree.
  \end{itemize}
  Then $\sys_2(g)\leq 4\pi$. More precisely one can find an
  embedded 2-sphere $S$ such that
  $F_*([S])=[\mathbb{S}^2\times\{\ast\}]$ and whose area is less than $4\pi$.
\end{thm}
The proof uses the second variation formula of the area functional for stable minimal hypersurfaces and a
repeated symmetrization construction to reduce the problem to
$\mathbb{T}^{n-2}$-invariant metrics on
$\Sigma^2\times\mathbb{T}^{n-2}$. This method of proof was pioneered
by Fischer-Colbrie and Schoen in dimension 3 and used in
dimensions at most seven by Gromov and Lawson in
\cite{gromov1983positive}. Zhu also studies the equality case: under
the hypothesis of the theorem, if there is an embedded $2$-sphere $S$
such that $F_* ([S]) = [\mathbb{S}^2 × \{*\}]$ and whose area is $4\pi$, then the universal cover of $M$ is a product of the round $2$-sphere of area $4\pi$ and a euclidean space.

\begin{rem}\label{rem-zhu}
  The proof in \cite{zhu2020rigidity} shows that if one starts with an
  $\mathbb{S}^1$-invariant metric on $M=M'\times\mathbb{S}^1$
  satisfying the hypothesis of Theorem \ref{thm-zhu}, then one can
  find a $2$-sphere in $M'$ whose area is at most $4\pi$.
\end{rem}

In the Spring of 2019, the author was lucky enough to attend the
lectures ``Old, New and Unknown around Scalar Curvature'' given by
Gromov at IHES. There, the author learned about the following result by
Gromov which is also proved using the Fischer-Colbrie--Schoen
symmetrization process:
\begin{thm}[\cite{gromov2018metric}, p. 2]
  Let $2\leq n\leq 7$, $M=[-1,1]\times \mathbb{T}^{n-1}$ and
  $\partial_{\pm}M=\{\pm 1\}\times \mathbb{T}^{n-1}$.
  Let $g$ be a Riemannian metric on $M$
  such that $\scal_g\geq n(n-1)$. Then
  \[d_g\big(\partial_-M,\partial_+M\big)\leq\frac{2\pi}{n}. \]
\end{thm}
The equality case is also studied. If $d_g\big(\partial_-M,\partial_+M\big)=\frac{2\pi}{n}$, then $M$ is isometric to
$[-\tfrac{\pi}{n},\tfrac{\pi}{n}]\times\mathbb{T}^{n-1}$
with the product metric $dt^2 + \cos^{\tfrac{4}{n}}(\frac{nt}{2})dx^2$
where $dx^2$ is a flat metric on $\mathbb{T}^{n-1}$.

In his Spring 2019 lectures, Gromov gave a new proof of the previous
theorem. Instead of using the second variation of the
$(n-1)$-dimensional volume as in \cite{gromov2018metric}, a twisted
functional is considered. Given a density $\mu:M^n\to\mathbb{R}$, the
$\mu$-area functional maps an open set $U\subset M$ to
$\mathcal{V}_{n-1}(\partial U)-\int_U\mu$, where $\mathcal{V}_{n-1}$
denotes the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume. Using a well chosen
density $\mu$, Gromov proved the following theorem, which is a
generalisation of the theorem above.
\begin{thm}[\cite{gromov2019four}, Section 5.3]\label{thm-gro}
  Let $(M^n,g)$ $(n\leq 7)$ be a compact $n$-manifold with two boundary components $\partial_-M$
  and $\partial_+M$. Assume that
  \[\scal_g\geq \frac{4(n-1)\pi^2}{n\, d_g(\partial_-M,
      \partial_+M)^2}+\delta\]
  for some $\delta>0$. Then there exists
  \begin{itemize}
  \item an hypersurface $\Sigma$ which separates
    $\partial_-M$ and $\partial_+M$,
  \item a positive function
    $u:\Sigma\to\mathbb{R}$,
  \end{itemize}
  such that the metric
  $h=g|_{\Sigma}+u^2dt^2$ on $\Sigma\times\mathbb{R}$ has $\scal_h\geq \delta$.
\end{thm}

\section{Topological preliminaries}
\label{sec:topol-prel}

Before proving the main theorem, we establish a topological
preliminary. Let $M=\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^2$.

The idea is that if we remove two disjoint spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ in
$\mathcal{S}_\ell$ from $M$, we should be in a situation which is very
similar to removing $\mathbb{S}^2\times\{n\}$ and
$\mathbb{S}^2\times\{s\}$ from $\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^2$, where
$n$ and $s$ are the north and south
poles of the right factor. Thus $\tilde M=M\backslash (S_1\cup S_2)$
should look like
\[\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^2\backslash\left(\mathbb{S}^2\times\{n\}\cup
    \mathbb{S}^2\times\{s\}\right)=\mathbb{S}^2\times
  \left(\mathbb{S}^2\backslash\{n,s\}\right)\simeq \mathbb{S}^2\times
  \mathbb{S}^1\times (-1,1).\]

However, our surfaces $S_1$ and $S_2$ from $\mathcal{S}_\ell$ may have
higher genus and thus $\tilde M$ may be more complicated.

However we are able to prove the following, which will be enough for our purpose:

\begin{prop}\label{prop-top}
  Let $S_1$ and $S_2$ be two disjoint surfaces in
  $\mathcal{S}_\ell$. Let $\Sigma\subset M$ be a connected hypersurface such
  that
  \begin{itemize}
  \item $\Sigma$ is disjoint from $S_1$ and $S_2$,
  \item $\Sigma$ separates $S_1$ and $S_2$.
  \end{itemize}
  Then there exists a non-zero degree map $\Sigma\to\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^1$.
\end{prop}
This map will be the restriction of a map $F:\tilde M=M\backslash
(S_1\cup S_2)\to \mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^1$.

We will first show :
\begin{lem}\label{lem-norm}
  Any $S\in \mathcal{S}_\ell$ has a trivial normal bundle.
\end{lem}
\begin{proof}
  Let $NS$ be the normal bundle to $S$ and let $e(NS)$ be the Euler
  class of $NS$. It follows from \cite{BottTu}[Theorem 11.17,
  p. 125] that the Euler class of a vector bundle over a compact manifold can be computed as
  the intersection number between the zero section and another
  transverse section times the fundamental class of the base.

  Since $NS$ can be embedded in $M$ as a small tubular neighborhood of
  $N$, this intersection number can be computed in $M$. Since in
  $\mathcal{S}_\ell$ one can find two disjoint spheres, the
  intersection  number is 0 and $e(NS)=0$.

  Moreover the Euler class is the only obstruction for an oriented
  rank $k$ vector bundle over a a compact $k$-manifold to have a non
  vanishing section (see \cite{hatcher2003vector}, Proposition
  3.22). Hence $NS$ has a nowhere vanishing section. Since $NS$ is an
  orientable rank 2 vector bundle, it is trivial.
\end{proof}

For $\varepsilon>0$, we denote by $S_i^\varepsilon$ the tubular neighborhood around
$S_i$. We will choose $\varepsilon$ small enough so that $S_1^\varepsilon$ and
$S_2^\varepsilon$ are disjoint regular neighborhoods.

\begin{lem}\label{lem-S2}
  The map $F_2:\tilde M\subset \mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^2\to\mathbb{S}^2\times\{\ast\}$ is
  surjective in homology.
\end{lem}
\begin{proof}
  Consider a $3$-cycle $C$ in $M$ such that $\partial C= S_1-S_2$. By using
  an fine enough triangulation, we can decompose $C=C_1+\tilde C+C_2$,
  where $\tilde C$ is a $3$-cycle in $\tilde M$ and $C_i$ is a
  $3$-cycle in $S_i^\varepsilon$. Now, $S'_1=\partial C_1-S_1$ is a $2$-cycle in
  $\tilde M$ homologous to $S_1$, hence $\pi(F_2)_*([S'_1])=[\mathbb{S}^2\times\{\ast\}]$.
\end{proof}

Set $S=S_1\cup S_2$, $S^\varepsilon=S_1^\varepsilon\cup S_2^\varepsilon$ and $\tilde
S^\varepsilon=S^\varepsilon\backslash S$.

\begin{lem}\label{lem-H1}
  $H^1(\tilde M,\mathbb{Z})=\mathbb{Z}$.
\end{lem}
\begin{proof}
  We will use the Mayer-Vietoris exact sequence for cohomology
  associated with the decomposition $M=S^\varepsilon\cup \tilde M$. Note that
  $S^\varepsilon$ is homotopy equivalent to $S$ and
  since $S_1$ and $S_2$ have trivial normal bundle, $\tilde
  S^\varepsilon$ is homotopy equivalent to $S\times\mathbb{S}^1$.

  The Mayer Vietoris sequence gives
  \[\cdots\to H^1(M)\to H^1(S^\varepsilon)\oplus
    H^1(\tilde M) \to H^1(\tilde S^\varepsilon)\to H^2(M)\to\cdots\]
  Thus, we have
  \[\cdots\to 0\to H^1(S_1)\oplus H^1(S_2)\oplus
    H^1(\tilde M) \to H^1(S_1)\oplus\mathbb{Z}\oplus
    H^1(S_2)\oplus\mathbb{Z}\to \mathbb{Z}\oplus\mathbb{Z}\to\cdots\]
  where the map $ H^1(\tilde S^\varepsilon)\simeq H^1(S_1)\oplus\mathbb{Z}\oplus
    H^1(S_2)\oplus\mathbb{Z}\to H^2(M)$ is given by
  $(a,x,b,y)\mapsto (x-y,0)$. Hence $H^1(\tilde M)$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}$.
\end{proof}

Since $H^1(\tilde M,\mathbb{Z})\simeq \mathbb{Z}$, $H^1(\tilde
M,\mathbb{R})\simeq \mathbb{R}$ and we can find a closed $1$-form
$\alpha$ on $\tilde M$ which is not exact. Let
$\Gamma$ be the image in $\mathbb{R}$ of the abelian group morphism :
$c\in H_1(\tilde M,\mathbb{Z})\mapsto \int_c\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$. By a
computation similar to the proof of the previous lemma, $H_1(\tilde
M,\mathbb{Z})=\mathbb{Z}$. Hence $\Gamma$ is a
discrete subgroup of $\mathbb{R}$. The
classical period map construction gives :
\begin{lem}\label{lem-S1}
  Let $x_0\in\tilde M$. For any curve $c$ from $x_0$ to $x$,
  $\int_c\alpha$ is well defined as an element $\mathbb{R}/\Gamma$. This
  defines a map $F_1:\tilde M\to\mathbb{R}/\Gamma$ such that the induced map
   $H_1(\tilde M)\to H_1(\mathbb{R}/\Gamma) $ is an isomorphism.
\end{lem}

$F=(F_2,F_1):\tilde M\to \mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^1$ is the map we
are looking for.

\begin{proof}[Proof of Proposition \ref{prop-top}]

First note that any connected hypersurface $\Sigma\subset M$ which separates $S_1$ and $S_2$
will be homologous to $\partial S_1^\varepsilon$ for $\varepsilon$ small
enough. Thus it is enough to show that the image of $[\partial
S_1^\varepsilon]$ under $F$ is not zero in
$H_3(\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^1)=H_2(\mathbb{S}^2)\oplus
H_1(\mathbb{S}^1)$, which is routinely deduced from the proofs of
Lemmas \ref{lem-S2} and \ref{lem-H1}.
\end{proof}

We will also need an elementary fact about the connectedness of separating hypersurfaces. Before stating it let us recall that $\Sigma\subset M$ separates $K_1, K_2 \subset M$ if $K_1$ and $K_2$ lie in different connected components of $M\backslash\Sigma$. The result we will need is the following:

\begin{prop}\label{prop-connect}
  Let $M^n$ be a closed orientable manifold with $H_{n-1}(M) = 0$ and
  let $\Sigma^{n-1}\subset M^n$ be a closed orientable
  hypersurface. Let $K_1$ and $K_2$ be two closed subsets of $M$ such
  that $\Sigma$ separates $K_1$ and $K_2$. Then there is a connected
  component of $\Sigma$ which separates $K_1$ and $K_2$.
\end{prop}

This is probably well known but the author has not been able to locate a proof in the litterature.

\begin{proof}
  Let us first remark that since $H_{n-1}(M) = 0$, any connected
  closed hypersurface $\Sigma_0\subset M$ satisfies that
  $M\backslash\Sigma_0$ has exactly two connected components whose
  boundary in $M$ is $\Sigma_0$. The fact that $M\backslash\Sigma_0$ has at most two
  connected components follows from the fact $\Sigma_0$ is two sided
  (since both $\Sigma_0$ and $M$ are orientable). If
  $M\backslash\Sigma_0$ was connected, there would be a closed loop
  $\gamma$ which intersects $\Sigma_0$ exactly once, hence the
  intersection number of $[\gamma]\in H_1(M)$ and $[\Sigma_0]\in
  H_{n-1}(M)$ would be non zero, which is absurd since $H_{n-1}(M)=0$.

  We will now prove the following result: let $\tilde\Sigma$ and $\Sigma_0$ be two disjoint hypersurfaces such
  that:
\begin{itemize}
\item $\Sigma_0$ is connected.
\item $\tilde\Sigma\cup\Sigma_0$ separates $K_1$ and $K_2$.
\item $\Sigma_0$ does not separate $K_1$ and $K_2$.
\end{itemize}
Then $\tilde\Sigma$ separates $K_1$ and $K_2$.

Once we have proved this, the proposition follows since we can remove
all the non-separating components form $\Sigma$ until every connected
component of $\Sigma$ separates $K_1$ and $K_2$.

In order to prove the result above, let $U_0$ be the connected
component of $M\backslash\Sigma_0$ which contains $K_1$. Since
$\Sigma_0$ does not separate $K_1$ and $K_2$, $U_0$ also contains
$K_2$. Now let $\tilde U$ be the connected component of
$M\backslash\tilde\Sigma$ which contains $K_1$.

Since the boundaries of $U_0$ and $\tilde U$ are disjoint and both
$U_0$ and $\tilde U$ contain $K_1$ either
$U_0 \subset \tilde U$ or $\tilde U \subset U_0$. In the first case,
$U_0$ will be a connected component of $M\backslash\Sigma$ which
contains $K_1$ and $K_2$, which is impossible since $\Sigma$ separates
$K_1$ and $K_2$.

Hence $\tilde U \subset U_0$, which implies that $\tilde U$ is one of
the connected components of $M\backslash\Sigma$. Since $\Sigma$ separates
$K_1$ and $K_2$, $K_2$ cannot be included in $\tilde U$. Hence $\tilde\Sigma$ separates
$K_1$ and $K_2$.
\end{proof}
\section{Proof of the main theorem}
\label{sec:proof}

We are now ready to prove Theorem \ref{thm-main}.
\begin{proof}[Proof of Theorem \ref{thm-main}]
  Our assumption is that $s=\str_{\ell}(\mathbb{S}^2\times \mathbb{S}^2,g) >
  \tfrac{\sqrt{3}\pi}{2}$. Thus, for any $\varepsilon>0$ we can find two surfaces
  $S_1$ and $S_2$ in $\mathcal{S}_\ell$ such that $d_g(S_1,S_2)=
  s-\varepsilon$. Assume that $\varepsilon>0$ is such that
  \begin{itemize}
  \item $s-3\varepsilon>\frac{\sqrt{3}\pi}{2}$;
  \item the tubular neighborhoods $S_1^\varepsilon$ and $S_2^\varepsilon$ of radius
    $\varepsilon$ around $S_1$ and $S_2$ are disjoint and regular.
  \end{itemize}
  Then if we set $\tilde M=M\backslash (S_1^\varepsilon\cup S_2^\varepsilon)$, its
  two boundary components $\partial_-\tilde M=\partial S_1^\varepsilon$ and
  $\partial_+\tilde M=\partial S_2^\varepsilon$ satisfy $d_g(\partial_-\tilde
  M, \partial_+\tilde M)= s-3\varepsilon$.

  Set $\delta=4-\frac{3\pi^2}{(s-3\varepsilon)^2}$ and note that $\delta>0$. Then we have:
  \[\scal_g\geq 4=\frac{3\pi^2}{d_g(\partial_-\tilde
  M, \partial_+\tilde M)^2}+\delta.\]

  This is exactly what we need to apply Gromov's Theorem
  \ref{thm-gro}. Hence we get an hypersurface $\Sigma\subset\tilde M$
  which separates $S_1$ and $S_2$ such that
  $\Sigma\times\mathbb{S}^1$ admits a metric of the form
  $h=g_\Sigma+u^2dt^2$ for some $u:M\to\mathbb{R}$ such that
  $\scal_h\geq\delta$. The hypersurface coming the minimization
  process in the proof of Theorem~\ref{thm-gro} may be disconnected,
  however by Proposition \ref{prop-connect} we can replace $\Sigma$ by
  one of its connected components which separates $S_1$ and $S_2$.

  Moreover, by Proposition \ref{prop-top}, there exists a non-zero
  degree map $\Sigma\to\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^1$. Hence there is
  a non-zero degree map
  $\Sigma\times\mathbb{S}^1\to\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{T}^2$ and we
  can apply Zhu's Theorem \ref{thm-zhu} and Remark \ref{rem-zhu} to
  show that one can find an embedded $2$-sphere $S$ in $\Sigma$ whose
  area is at most $\frac{8\pi}{\delta}=\frac{8\pi
    (s-3\varepsilon)^2}{4(s-3\varepsilon)^2-3\pi^2}$.

  Since $\Sigma$ is isometrically embedded in
  $M$, $S$ embeds in $M$ with area at most $\frac{8\pi
    (s-3\varepsilon)^2}{4(s-3\varepsilon)^2-3\pi^2}$. Moreover, by the properties of the map $F$
  built in section \ref{sec:topol-prel}, the surface $S$ of $M$
  belongs to $\mathcal{S}_\ell$. Since $\varepsilon>0$ can be as small as one
  wants we get the results.
\end{proof}

What now? We've come up with a list of 11 winter hobbies that will make the time indoors tolerable, even enjoyable. Yep, we said it — enjoyable. The best part? These are all evergreen hobbies, so if you can't get enough of them this winter, you can keep them up all year.
Or something like that. Cooking is one of the most productive hobbies you can take on during the winter because, hey, you've got to eat. Winter's the perfect time to go through the recipes you've saved on Pinterest or the cookbook that's been sitting on the shelf. You can even enroll in an online cooking class, such as Gordon Ramsay's Masterclass or America's Test Kitchen Cooking School.
With the right ingredients and equipment, you can brew everything from beer to cider to mead (aka honey wine) at home. The American Homebrewers Association has some great tutorials and recipes on its website.
Yes, knitting, crochet, embroidery, cross stitch, and needlepoint sound like a grandmother's top five favorite pastimes, but needlework can be cool (really!). Check out these modern embroidery patterns, enviable needlepoint coasters, and Wool and the Gang, a sustainable brand selling kits that let you knit or crochet clothing yourself. Sure, you're going to have to learn the basics before you take on one of these projects, but think of them as something to work toward.
Still associate board games with, say, Candyland? Excuse the bad pun, but you're in for a treat. Games like Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, Azul, Orbis, Gizmos, and Notre Dame are less about picking the right card, more about strategic thinking. Same goes with chess and card games like poker, gin rummy, and euchre. Just add friends.
You don't have to be a writer for this one. Even those of us who journal on the reg will find that creative writing's a different beast. But that's the fun of it. Your writing can be as wacky, witty, or refined as you'd like. You can wax poetic about something you've seen, but you can also pen stories about a place you've never been to or from another persona. Tons of prompts are online. These are a great start.
If creative writing has you thinking more about how you're forming letters than what you're writing about, calligraphy could be your thing. Grab some supplies, a good how-to guide, or a kit that includes both, like the Modern Calligraphy Starter Kit from Be a Heart.
Sure, you took two semesters of French for class credit, but hear us out. Learning another language when you don't have to makes a world of difference. Apps like Duolingo and Babbel make picking up a new language totally doable.
Staying inside doesn't have to mean staying on the couch. With all of the health benefits (and mental health benefits) that come with exercise, a consistent workout plan can keep you feeling well all winter. Whether pilates or HIIT cardio is your style, you can find tons of workouts through online platforms like Fitness Blender, Booya, Pilatesology, or Daily Burn.
This one takes a cue from modern homesteading as well as the zero-waste movement (a global movement that focuses on using less and reusing that which we have more of). Making household products isn't just practical — it's sustainable. Thanks to the internet, you can learn how to make natural toothpaste, all-purpose cleaner, deodorant, soap, candles, and more.
Altered books are basically books that have been transformed through media like ink pens, colored pencil, magazine cutouts, or yarn. You can take a lot of different approaches, from making a collage to cutting or folding the pages to create a three-dimensional work of art. You can also create poems or sentences from the text, circling certain words or scratching words out. Or combine these approaches. No rules here.
Even serial readers tend to stick to certain genres. We know what we like to read, and that's that. But here's a challenge: Take some time this winter to read books that aren't in your go-to genres. For example, swap psychological thrillers for sci-fi or historical fiction for biographies. Reach for a self-help manual or a good spiritual book if that's not the kind of thing you keep on your nightstand. We can learn a lot about the world (and ourselves) when we step outside our usual habits — including what we read.

Dan Auerbach - Keep it Hid CD
On his solo debut, Black Keys singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach takes a simple approach: 'I just wanted to do the things I loved.' For Auerbach, that means combining elements of bluegrass a la the Stanley Brothers, mournful country balladry, Memphis-style R&B, fuzzed-out psychedelic rock and low-down blues on this collection of 14 original tunes, which Auerbach self-produced and recorded with friends and family at his family at his newly built studio, Akron Analog.

13-Year-Old California Girl, Victim of Bullying, Takes Her Own Life

Rosalie Avila
Mesa View Middle School
CBS Los Angeles via Facebook
A California family had to say goodbye to their 13-year-old daughter over the weekend when the teenager was taken off life support Friday after attempting to take her own life.
Rosalie Avila, an eighth-grader at Mesa View Middle School, reportedly took her own life after years of bullying at the hands of her peers. The Yucaipa, Calif., school mourned her death with a candlelight vigil attended by hundreds of Avila's peers, teachers and loved ones, according to NBC San Diego.
The 13-year-old was described as a loving girl who was a great artist and always got good grades. Her dream was to become a lawyer to make the world a better place, but now that potential will never be realized.
"My daughter had the whole world," her father, Freddie Avila, said. "Now I just have to think about what she could have done or what she could have become. Now it's just a memory."
Rosalie attempted to take her own life Nov. 28.
"I woke up and there was screaming," he said. "I had to find my daughter ... in her room."
She was rushed to the Loma Linda Children's Hospital in extremely critical condition and was ultimately taken off life support Dec. 1.
Rosalie's aunt told the news station that the school knew that Rosalie was being bullied and she was also in counseling. She kept a journal detailing how she was bullied and naming those who were mean to her.
"'They told me I was ugly today,'" her father recalled reading in the journal, CBS Los Angeles reports. "'They were making fun of me today about my teeth.'"
The school sent out a statement expressing sympathy for the "heartbreak and confusion" over Rosalie's death.
"No one can fathom the heartbreak and confusion that we are certain many of our students and families are feeling right now," the statement read. "Crisis counselors and intervention teams will be available and supporting our students throughout the district in the upcoming days."
Except it appears that at least some students don't need crisis counselors, although they definitely need counselors of some sort because not only do the Avilas have to cope with the loss of their daughter—they apparently are now being bullied themselves.
The family has reportedly received a message on social media with photos of Rosalie stating, "Hey mom. Next time don't tuck me in this," with reference to a bed. "Tuck me in THIS," the image says, featuring an arrow pointing to an open grave.

"For you to do that, I mean, you're heartless. You're a very heartless person, and you have no compassion," Rosalie's mom, Charlene, told CBSLA.
The Avilas have handed Rosalie's journal over to the police and are pushing for the school district to do something about bullying.
"I did everything I'm supposed to do as a father, and these people did not respond, because those bullies are still at the school," Freddie said. "They're still there, and my daughter's gone."

Movies & Movie Reviews
"42" Film Review
Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Robinson | Source
Robinson and Branch Rickey
"42," the Jackie Robinson story, is the most moving movie I've seen in a while. Chadwick Boseman as Robinson and Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey both deserve Oscar nominations.
As someone who was raised mostly in the segregated South and who moved to a nearly as segregated North, I nevertheless found it hard to watch the movie's jarring depictions of ugly white racist fans, South and North; several of Robinson's racist Dodger teammates, notably Dixie Walker; racists on opposing teams, notably Ben Chapman, manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, the most obnoxious of all, whose racist taunts almost caused Robinson to lose his cool; and subtle racism displayed even by venerated baseball broadcaster Red Barber. On the other hand, Robinson received heart-warming support from many fans and teammates Ralph Branca, Eddie Stanky and Peewee Reese and others of Robinson's Dodger teammates.
The film's focus was on 1947, the year Robinson and Branch Rickey broke the major league baseball color line with the Brooklyn Dodgers. This was before the civil rights movement had gotten off the ground. Jim Crow ruled the South, and the North was nearly as segregated as the South. For example, a major Philadelphia hotel cancelled the Dodger's room reservations after Branch Rickey refused the Phillies' manager's demand that Robinson be dropped from the lineup in its home game with Philadelphia. A game against the Reds in Cincinnati brought death threats against Robinson, Rickey and PeeWee Reece's children.
The movie was directed by Brian Helgeland.

I saw this film as well, it was a good one on various levels without obviously laboring to do so. I also thought that Harrison Ford performed very well and find it strange that there wasn't more recognition of this. I agree it may have been his best work. Chadwick Boseman did a good job and this was the first of his work that I'd seen and I look forward to seeing more.
Saw "42" last weekend.
42 does a great job of portraying the era and the conflicts of the times. Good baseball history, too.
Branch Rickey integrated major league baseball a year before Truman integrated the armed forces. Harrison Ford was tremendous as Branch Rickey. It may be his best performance.

I must say that this is one of my favorite films. Thanks for the link to the Ben Chapman story at The Atlantic -- It sounds like he mellowed in his later years. Alan Tudyk surely was effective as Chapman in heckling mode, tho - Whew!! The audience didn't know whether to laugh or throw things.


Labour party bosses were left red-faced today after a set of embarrassing defeats in the first elections for directly elected mayors - including one loss to a man in a monkey suit.
Labour could reasonably have expected to sweep the board in most of the seven mayoral races held yesterday, but the biggest humiliation came in Hartlepool, where Stuart Drummond, also known as H'Angus the Monkey, stormed to victory.
H'Angus, the mascot for Hartlepool United Football Club, left the Labour candidate trailing in second place to take the £53,000-a-year post. A key part of his winning formula was a promise to provide free bananas for schoolchildren.
There was further bad news for Labour in North Tyneside, a traditional Labour stronghold where the local MP, Stephen Byers, who is the secretary of state for transport, local government and the regions, cut his political teeth in local government.
Following a second round of counting there, Conservative Chris Morgan beat off Labour's Eddie Darke to take the mayor's office by 26,083 votes to 24,531.
There was humiliation in Watford, too, where Labour favourite Vince Muspratt lost out spectacularly to the Liberal Democrats. Their candidate, Dorothy Thornhill, won the second round of voting by 13,473 votes to 5,269.
Labour's only victory in the first round of a mayoral election - where voters choose a first and second choice candidate - came in Newham. But in this traditional East End party stronghold, the council's leader, Sir Robin Wales, only just passed the 50% winning post.
In Hartlepool, Mr Drummond left his monkey outfit at home and donned an executive-style suit for his acceptance speech, which was watched by local MP Peter Mandelson, one of the prime movers behind the campaign to get an elected mayor for Hartlepool.
Mr Drummond said: "Forget about the monkey. The monkey was there only for promotion purposes. The monkey was just for publicity. I am Stuart Drummond, I am the mayor of Hartlepool, not the monkey."
One of the first people to offer his congratulations was Mr Mandelson, who gave Mr Drummond a solid handshake and said he believed him to be "very committed".
"I will operate with you in every way I can," he told Mr Drummond.
In Doncaster, where Martin Winter took the office, and Lewisham, where Steve Bullock was successful, both candidates required two rounds of voting to confirm their wins, when analysts suggested they should have shown their rivals a clean pair of heels in the first round. The problems for Labour's mayoral candidates in the north-east may not be over. "Robocop" Ray Mallon will be discovering at around lunchtime whether his bid for political office has been a success.
The former Cleveland police chief superintendent, credited with bringing US-style zero-tolerance policing to Britain, is seeking to become the first directly-elected mayor of Middlesbrough.
Mr Mallon's main opponent is Middlesbrough borough council's deputy leader, Sylvia Connolly, who stood on the Labour ticket.
The innovation of elected mayors has been trouble for Labour from the start.
London's Ken Livingstone became Britain's first elected mayor when he won as an independent in 2000, following an intensely bitter falling out with the Labour hierarchy which saw him kicked out of the party.

Love Yourself-ie: HONOR 9X Research Shows Selfies are Here to Stay
Simon Skinner - 1 month ago
The selfie has seen something of an explosion in popularity since reaching world acclaim in 2013 when the Oxford English Dictionary named 'selfie' as its word of the year. In a new nationwide study of 2,000 British adults by mobile brand, HONOR, it's been shown that selfies are not going anywhere soon, with Brits shooting a staggering 884 photos and 468 selfies on average using their smartphones.
The new research bolsters the need for smartphones that house a dedicated selfie camera and the growing reliance on AI camera technology in order to get the perfect shot. Contrary to common belief, the study showed that men actually shoot more selfies on average per week than women, with men around 10 pictures per week compared to women, who shoot around 8.
HONOR's research shows that, across the UK, almost half [45%] of the photographs taken on smartphones are subsequently shared with friends and family via social media, which reveals our national trend of sharing moments from our daily life. Furthermore, even though it takes merely 10 seconds to determine whether a selfie makes the cut or not, we then spend approximately 25 more minutes pondering before it goes on to be shared on social media, suggesting that as a nation, we're making evermore conscious decisions about how we're representing ourselves online.
Stoke on Trent has shown to be the selfie capital of the UK, with people in the Potteries taking more selfies per week
Unfiltered pictures on the up
It seems that, as a nation, Brits are posting more unedited pictures than ever in 2019. Make up free selfies are on the rise, particularly amongst young people, with 62% of today's 16 to 29-year olds stating that they take more natural selfies now compared to in 2014. The study also found that a great deal of Brits are embracing the #NoFilter trend, with 57% of people posting more unfiltered images to show off their authentic selves versus five years ago, rising to 62% of 16 to 29-year-olds. Meanwhile, six in ten [60%] revealed they are sharing more photos that depict 'the real me'.
Nature Over Nightclubbing
Photographs of the natural world are also have grown more prevalent throughout 2019. This may be a trend driven by the global eco-movement of millennials putting more emphasis on the environment. With time spent in the great outdoors regarded as one of the top ways to boost your wellbeing, it seems Brits are keen to exhibit themselves amongst nature, with natural scenery and beaches making the list of most popular images in 2019. HONOR's study also exposed that Brits are more than three times more likely to post a picture of themselves in the great outdoors than in a nightclub, showing a movement towards displaying wholesomer lifestyles. The desire to shoot open views has also led to the evolution of, what's now quite commonplace, triple-lens cameras in smartphones. HONOR's own 9X comes in as a budget smartphone but promises superb imaging capability with a super wide-angle lens, making it relatively simple to shoot stunning landscapes.
Influencing through Imagery
With such a staggering period of global social change, HONOR's research revealed that modern Brits regularly use photography to communicate ideas and form opinions on social causes such as climate change. Three in five [61%] indicate that they post pictures on social media to spread the word about issues that are important to them. Meanwhile, over half [51%) report they have changed their minds about an important social issue after being exposed to an image and a further 51% think images on social media provide a more accurate representation of social issues, compared to other forms of media including TV and newspapers.
The study found that 16-29-year-olds take 27% more photos on their smartphones than those over 30, suggesting that the next generation are very inclined to communicate through imagery, using social media to spur and engage with their audiences. With the average Brit exposed to 37 images a day or a whopping 13,505 a year, one third [33%] of Brits go as far to say they could imagine communicating solely through images in the future.
UK regional trends
Drilling down on the UK, Stoke on Trent has shown to be the selfie capital of the UK, with people in the Potteries taking more selfies per week [12] than anywhere else in the UK, compared to a national average of 9. Second on the list is Birmingham and Oxford, posing for 11 selfies each week, followed by people living in Leicester [10 per week]. Nottingham residents are the biggest fitness fanatics, taking the most post-workout shots [16%], while neighbouring Leicester seems to be the most body confident, taking more photos of their body [17%] than anywhere else in the country this year. The nation's animal lovers reside in Wales, with Cardiff-dwellers taking the crown for snapping the most photos with their furry friends [27%] while the nation's foodies reside in Norwich, taking significantly more shots of their breakfast, coffee and dinner than anywhere else in the country [57%].
Bond Zhang, Country Manager of HONOR UK, said: "With smartphones always in our pockets, it has become easier than ever to snap and share content from the world around us and it's interesting to see the growing trend towards sharing more natural, authentic content. Whereas selfies used to be reserved for nights out and special occasions today, we're more open to capturing and posting images that show who we really are and what we stand for. The brand new HONOR 9X is kitted out with a 48MP Triple AI Camera and a pop-up selfie camera, making it easier than ever to capture extraordinary images of the moments that matter."

J.D. Power 'AIMS' To Track Social Media
by Karl Greenberg , April 19, 2010
When J.D. Power and Associates (JDP) acquired Web intelligence firm Umbria in 2008, the Westlake Village, Calif. market research firm was staking a claim in social media. Now, the company is launching its first social-media research product, the Auto Intelligence Monitor (AIM).
Finbarr O'Neill, who became the firm's president last year, says the new social-media barometer is evidence of JDP's efforts to become a holistic market research firm: If surveys "ask" and clickstream data "watches," then AIM -- which includes a desktop-based dashboard -- "listens," combining data and insight from social media conversations about automaker brands and models with marketplace retail sales and segment data from the Power Information Network.
The Monitor, per the company, covers consumer buzz on things like "green" issues, safety, performance, styling and design, value, features and technology, manufacturer business issues and marketing and communications efforts. O'Neill, one-time head of Hyundai Motor America, draws a big picture for Marketing Daily.
Q: How big a change is this for J.D. Power, in terms of what the firm has been doing for years?
A: The data is certainly different. It's a very qualitative medium, so it has been a challenge for J.D. Power researchers, who are traditionally quantitative, to understand exactly how you "productize" this. [The Auto Intelligence Monitor] is a good example of how you can do that -- how you can deliver flexibility and understanding about consumer sentiment to the client.
Q: How is J.D. Power's product different from competitive social-media research?
A: The initial social media products were dashboard products around volume, but without a lot of analytics. The science does take you a certain distance -- the algorithms will pull out data -- but you need people who are good annotators, who are good at writing queries, to capture all of the conversations across the Internet. And at the end of the day, someone has to analyze it. If you're Toyota, for instance, you want to understand what people are saying -- not just that they are talking about you. Actually, we found that there's a lot of positive stuff out there being said about Toyota, by consumers.
Q: Is it going to be hard to sell this to auto marketers?
A: Our clients are embracing this as another source of understanding the voice of the consumer. We are seeing changes in market research where clients are looking much more broadly for a more holistic view of the consumer. So we have to be able to circle around [a client's consumers], listen to what they are saying, ask them questions, watch what they do, and triangulate around those various sources of information to get a better insight on what they intend.
The good news is the auto industry in particular is used to using qualitative data in terms of product design. Companies have done clinics for a long time; they've done ethnographic studies observing peoples' behavior in their day-to-day lives. So this is a little different, but it has tremendous value because it does capture the unprompted voice of the consumer. It's kind of like the ethnographer who goes to live with the family and is listening to everything they do. Here we are listening to what people are saying over their virtual back fence to one another.

The Company Photos
CM & Sons Food Products, Inc. was established as a family enterprise in 1995 in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental. Its products are marketed under the trade name "Merci," a French word meaning "thank you." Though the trade name is undergoing a rebranding process from Merci to Merzci, the company still believes that it will remain competitive in the food market.
Merzci started as a small bakery, supplying breads to a single store at the Libertad Market. Eventually, its popularity became undeniable due to a growing satisfied customer pool. With its high quality breads at affordable prices, combined with aggressive marketing strategies and the ingenuity of youth, it did not take long for the company to establish its own branches around the city and supply products to satellite dealers all over the province.
Merzci also evolved into a fast food restaurant serving scrumptious and affordable snacks and short-order meals for people on the go.
Complementing its food line, it diversified its business interests in 2003 with the introduction of its bottled purified water brands distributed around Negros Island, namely MERCI PURIFIED DRINKING WATER and VITALIFE PURIFIED DRINKING WATER. Despite competition from national brands, the two brands successfully sliced a big share in the province's purified water market in only a few months' time and up to present. The water brand is also expected to follow suit in the rebranding of its trade name.

Iran rejects reports on Germany-based military spy
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said late on Saturday that there were no links whatsoever between the person in question and the Islamic Republic, adding that such claims were not surprising at all considering all the efforts to disrupt Tehran's ties with Europe following United States' one-sided violation of an international nuclear agreement with Iran. "We are not surprised by this news which comes amid unjust security accusations raised by those who seek to sabotage relations between Iran and Europe at this important and sensitive stage," said Qassemi. The senior Iranian diplomat added that there are people who would not spare any effort to strain "old and historic relations" between Iran and many European countries, especially those who are signatories to the landmark nuclear deal signed in July 2015 between Iran and six world powers, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The reaction comes days after unconfirmed reports in the German media suggested that a 50-year-old Afghan-German dual national who worked for the German military had been arrested on suspicion of transferring sensitive military data to Tehran. Germany's federal prosecutor's office said on Tuesday that Abdul Hamid S. had been remanded in custody pending an investigation. The German defense ministry did not confirm the report although it said it was aware of the espionage case involving a member of the military. The reports come following a decision by the European Union to add the names of two Iranians and an Iranian intelligence unit to its terrorist list. Iran has strongly condemned the move, saying it has been based on fake claims that Tehran was seeking to carry out terrorist operation on European soil. Iranian authorities believe the renewed wave of accusations against Tehran is directly linked to a move by US President Donald Trump in May last year to pull out of the JCPOA. They say those accusations are meant to heap more pressure on European signatories to the JCPOA, namely Britain, Germany and France, as they try to preserve the deal through offering special financial mechanisms that could protect trade with Tehran from US sanctions.

Q: Is it a good idea to put db/schema.rb to .gitignore list ?? so what I'm suggesting in my job, is to put db/schema.rb into .gitignore file, so we don't have (time to time) merging problems.
There are some concerns that if something terrible happen (meteor fall from the sky right on the DB server and simultaneously all the db/migrete files are corrupt) we could loose the schema, and we will have to use rake db:purge (to reuse the schema.rb). I agree that this is possible and it's a good argument, but it shouldn't be problem because db/schema.rb is generated each time we do rake db:migrate. So even if we won't push schema.rb on server, we are pushing migrations add running db:migrate each time we are deploying with DB changes and with that db:migrate rails will automatically generate schema.rb on server side, and that schema.rb sits on the server unchanged until we do another db:migrate  .
so whats your opinion, should we or should we not put the db/schema.rb into git ignore ?
thank you

A: You should put in a VCS whatever you need to reproduce an operational environment.
If, for rebuilding your application, you need to have the right schema.rb (at the right version), then yes, it can be versionned.
But if you can get it back through another process, then it is better backed up through some other referential than a VCS.

A: When you switch between feature branches which develop different set of model attributes, then without schema.rb you sometimes would need to:

*

*rake db:migrate:down VERSION=xxx migrations which were create some time ago, but not merged to other branches

*git checkout branch

*rake db:migrate migrate all newly created branches

I run into some problems with this in previous projects where schema.rb was in .gitignore. Every time I see something was wrong, I had to drop database and recreate from migrations, while with schema.rb I could just load schema in fraction of second and then rake db:seed to load data. But it wasn't critical.
I'm also curious what problems you have with merging schema.rb? Most of the time you can override this file without worrying about changes (I assume you haven't modified your database structure by hand) with rake db:dump and just add it as merge resolution.

A: I would always suggest to keep schema.rb in version contol, since tasks like rake db:schema:load depend on it being there.
About the conflicts, are you talking about the schema version conflicts? These are easily mitigated using the merge algorithm showed here: http://tbaggery.com/2010/10/24/reduce-your-rails-schema-conflicts.html
Other conflicts, like column definition switching locations can easily be avoided by being careful what you commit to the repository.

Sustainability at the Living Rainforest
Support a rainforest project
New Cloud Forest exhibit opens
Posted: 3 Jan 2020
New for 2020, the Cloud Forest exhibit provides a representation of a type of tropical cloud forest. Cloud forests are found at high attitudes and are cooler than lowland rainforests. Mosses and other epiphytes such as orchids, aroids and ferns cover the trunks and branches of trees. These are all presented in the exhibit, featuring around 100 new plant species. Some of the orchids are not what you would expect. They take many forms, and with some of them you will have to look closely to truly appreciate the flowers.
Look out for stunning plants
Anthurium cubense
Anthurium cubense occurs in tropical dry forest and lower parts of cloud forests up to an altitude of 800m. It is most common in Colombia and Nicaragua.
Laelia gouldiana
This orchid is endemic to Mexico, where the flowers are used as decorations for the Day of the Dead Festival. Sadly, this orchid is now presumed extinct in the wild due to deforestation and over-collection. The conservation of this species continues in botanical gardens.
Cattleya milleri
This orchid is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red list as it has such a small range. It has only ever been found on a small rocky outcrop in the Minas Gerais area of Brazil, where its habitat is threatened by mining.
Columnea gloriosa
Known for its red long tubular shaped flowers that look like leaping fish, this plant grows as an epithyte and can cascade down on long 1m length stems. Columneas are found all over central and south America.
Stanhopea orchids
The Living Rainforest has a large collection of Stanhopea orchids. In the wild, these orchids rely on bees for pollination. The flowers produce strong complex fragrances to attract the bees. These large and striking flowers only last between 24-72 hours. These orchids will be introduced to the exhibit as and when they flower.
Proud to partner with Writhlington School Orchid Project
Members of the Writhlington School Orchid Project have provided many of the orchids, and more importantly extensive consultancy and advice in preparing this new exhibit. The Living Rainforest and Trust for Sustainable Living are very grateful for their support.
The Project is an enterprise run by Writhlington School and Mendip Studio School pupils from years 7 to 13, based around the laboratory propagation of orchids from seed, greenhouse cultivation and sale of seedlings and plants to the public. Student expeditions to Sarawak, Rwanda, Laos, Sikkim and other bio-diverse tropical habitats have been used to initiate and support the development of sustainable community enterprise, conservation and education in line with the aims of the Convention on Biological Diversity.

The U.S. Mint has presented design options for the Congressional Medal for the Borinqueneers to the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC), which chose the design above. The design will now go on to the Fine Arts Commission, and to military historians who will confirm the accuracy of the uniforms, according to Samuel Rodríguez, a member of the Borinqueneers Congressional Gold Medal Design Liaison Team.
It has been more than a year since President Obama signed the bill that awarded the Borinqueneers the Congressional Gold Medal, and the Borinqueneers Congressional Gold Medal Design Liaison Team has been working closely with the CCAC to make sure that the input of the Borinqueneers and their community was heard and considered in the design process. Once the CCAC has made the final decision, they will make an official recommendation to the Secretary of the Treasury, who will authorize the production of the medal.
The Borinqueneers, also known as the 65th Infantry Regiment, were a primarily Puerto Rican regiment in the U.S. Army which was active from the turn of the 20th century and served in both World Wars and in the Korean War. The regiment was dissolved in 1956, when segregation ended in the armed forces. However, just as the 65th Infantry was an outgrowth of the volunteer regiment formed in Puerto Rico in 1899, it also continued beyond the official end of the regiment in 1956, being transferred to the Puerto Rican National Guard in 1959.
The Borinqueneers were honored with the Presidential Unit Citation, a Meritorious Unit Commendation and two Republic of Korea Unit Citations, including personal praise from General MacArthur. Individual Borinqueneers have received individual honors, including Distinguished Service Crosses, Silver Stars, and Bronze Stars. The Congressional Gold Medal, awarded just over one year ago, was the culminating honor for the regiment.
See all the proposed medal designs, the discussion in the committee, and a letter from Senator Marco Rubio at the website of the Design Liaison Team.

sung by John Linnell
Trivia/Info
The third song in the Hotel Detective Series.
This spacey song sounds nothing like the rock (She Was A) Hotel Detective or its disco "sequel," She Was A Hotel Detective.
On Podcast 5A, this song received a humorous "commentary track" by the "creators" of its "visual and sound effects". The commentary and this song do not actually line up in any way, however.
The line "She walks with the beard of a rainbow" is a reference to the 1967 Cream song, "SWLABR", from the album Disraeli Gears. "SWLABR" stands for "She Walks Like A Bearded Rainbow". Upside Down Frown also makes reference to this with the line "the rainbow has a beard."

Q: Sorting accordion alphabetical with jquery Hi I have an accordion and I want to sort them alphabetical.
What I want is at the top over all accordions 4 buttons to sort them alphabetical by:

Name, Lastname, Street, City

So here is my HTML Code.

Name

Latname

Street

City

Google Maps

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Name

Latname

Street

City

Google Maps

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Hope someone have an idea how can I handle this.
Best regards.

A: Add an id-attribute to your div.all and classes to the td-tags, e.g:

    ...
    Name
    Lastname
    Street
    City
    ...

Then generate 4 associative arrays with Name, Lastname, Street and City as keys and the accordion-item-ids as values like:
var names = {};
$('div.all').each(function() {
    names[$(this).find('td.name').text()] = $(this).attr('id');
});

And now you can sort your arrays with array.sort(); and change the order of the accordion.

El restaurante El Pasaje Sevilla, ubicado en el Pasaje Vila de la capital de Andalucía, llega hasta este lugar para revolucionar el mundo del tapeo andaluz. Tras un diseño clásico, la cocina de este restaurante sorprende con una fabulosa cocina de autor famosa por sus buenas presentaciones a base de diseño y creatividad.
En el restaurante El Pasaje, el sentido de la vista se pone las botas. La Ensalada de queso, almendras y mermelada de frambuesa, la Delicia de foie con queso y manzana caramelizada y el Salmorejo con jamón se exponen como pequeñas obras culinarias para satisfacer a los paladares más sabios. En la misma línea, se presentan sugerencias mezcla de la cocina internacional y la mediterránea como el Burrito de secreto ibérico, el Tataki de Solomillo o la Hamburguesa rústica. Este híbrido entre los productos locales y los procesos de elaboración más exóticos se traduce en una experiencia de diez.
Si vas de ruta de tapas por Sevilla, este es un lugar de parada obligatoria. ¡Las mejores te esperan allí!
Friendly setting with unusual dishes that tasted great and were reasonably priced.
Great food and friendly staff! We enjoyed everything that we ordered, my favorite was the mushroom risotto and baked goat cheese.
Their menu suggests they are meat specialits and so they are. We got the most perfect peace of meat and got all vegetables (very tasty) instead of the carbs. OMG, what a treat, the best we had in Sevilla. As an additional dish we took the artichokes which were topped with a very light vinaigrette, olive oil and ground roasted almonds. The deserts were to die for and we left the place incredibly satisfied. In addition, their wine selection by the glass was very good. Lastly, staff were incredibly helpful explaining the dishes to us. Very well managed place! We will certainly be back!
Excellent food. A little more sophisticated and up market than most others surrounding tapas bars rather than traditional. Best for an evening meal.
Excellent service and amazing food. Best meal of our trip.
Great restaurant. We booked for 8pm (the Spanish eat late) and sat in the back glass room area. We were a wee bit cold to begin with but once the restaurant filled up, we were warm. The waitress was very helpful in guiding us on what tapas to order and all of it was delicious. We ended up with 3 tapas, coffee, desert and 2 glasses of wine each for a total bill of €54 (for 2 people) which we thought was pretty reasonable. I did tell them when I booked that is was my husbands 60th birthday surprise and was hoping that they would give him a wee surprise cake/drink but that didn't happen. Never mind, it was still a nice evening out.
We went in for lunch and it was very quiet. I'm sure it gets kicked up for dinner, as do most places in this neighborhood. The food was spectacular. I highly recommend making a visit to this restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helped us with our terrible Spanish.
Thanks Dorothy for your opinion. We hope to see you in another time in El Pasaje.
We was a fam with two kids out eating lovely tapas! Service was superb! Food was good and the staff was kind!
Great service, food choices and environment. Highly recommend.
We had an excellent late - post flamenco - supper, consisting largely of tapas dishes which our waitress was extremely helpful in the choosing of. She was attentive and entertaining, the food delicious and final bill really fair.
We only had a few things as we weren't that hungry, but they were all beautiful: tuna tartar, slow cooked oxtail on focaccia and artichokes. The complimentary sweets sherry that was served as a digestive nicely rounded off our superb little meal.
The waiter was very personable and explained the dishes in detail.


URLAUBSARCHITEKTUR presents architecturally outstanding holiday homes and guest houses. The accommodation which is featured must fulfil a range of criteria – whether it's a holiday home, an apartment or a hotel, the architecture has to be something special. Both historic and modern buildings are included, though they need not offer the ultimate in luxury – what counts is their individual appeal, the perfect realisation of a concept, authenticity, and the care the owners have for their buildings.
