NEVER, EVER THE SAME!
Posted By: AHS Staff
It was a day like any other. It was February, 1944 (I was 12 years old), and I came home from school on the school bus as usual, wearing my warm green wool coat and carrying my trusty black book bag. My sisters had stayed in town for the night with my married sister so they could attend a young people's function at church. My mom was waiting at the back door to greet me as was her custom.
I put my book bag down but had not yet removed my coat when we saw a black car drive into the driveway. Then we watched as Dr. Nuetsman came toward the back door. He had treated my dad for some health issues but we were surprised to see him here, on our property. Mom asked him to come inside and he said in a flat voice that as the county coroner he was here to tell us that August (my dad) was dead and his body had been taken to the mortuary. With that, he turned and left!! Mom and I grabbed one another and wailed. How could this be? Dad had gone with a friend to watch the fishermen seine on a lake a few miles north of our farm. How could he be gone! We knew he had what in those days they called "hardening of the arteries" (high blood pressure), but no one had warned that it could lead to disaster! No one had told us what to expect; he was only 50 years old!
When we were able to minimally function, mom said she would need to make some phone calls and would I go out to the barn and tell Uncle what had happened. I vaguely remember going into the steamy warmth of the barn in search of Uncle. I found him tending the horses and I said, "Daddy is dead". That was it -- I did not stay to witness the shock that must have shown on Uncle's face -- I just ran back to the house.
It was not long and cars began driving into the driveway. There were friends and neighbors, relatives and onlookers. A couple of farmers told mom not to be concerned about chores or the cattle, they would be glad to help Uncle take care of things. People began bringing food. The table was set for anyone who might feel the need to eat. Neighbor ladies took over in the kitchen, mom just sat on a chair under the mantle clock (still wearing her apron) and cried.
A neighbor lady sat next to mom, trying to find a way to comfort her. When I walked by, mom cried even louder saying, "She's only a child, how will I take care of her alone!" I felt lost, confused and very, very lonely. I knew Dad was gone; how would we go on with life?
Someone had called my sisters and they all made it home to be with mom. We learned that Dad had felt ill while watching the fishermen and asked for help getting to his car. By the time they got him there, he was gone! It was unusual for him to go on such an outing, but Mom said he had been restless and wanted something to do besides chores, so he left shortly after lunch.
Someone had called our pastor; he came to pray and bring comfort. The mortician happened to be a friend of the family, so he came to talk to mom about tentative arrangements. He was the father of one of my school friends and he could not have been nicer to me in how he explained what would be happening in preparation for the funeral. He did not treat me like a kid, but gave me comfort by keeping me informed.
My mother just cried and cried. I was so glad there were friends there to help her. Fortunately, they were able to prepare her for the next steps. They talked about visitation times, the funeral and what she should wear. They assured her that someone would be in charge of the kitchen at all times so she would not need to think about it. She had concern for the chickens (that was her job always), and she was told there was a neighbor already in charge of those duties.
People were more than helpful; they were very kind and so concerned. I felt we were in good hands, but there were many, many questions in my mind. What would happen to us? How would we live? Where would the money come from? Too much for a kid to think about. I decided that all I could do was pray -- so I did.

This 7-screen laptop might just be the most ridiculous invention ever
By Daniel Piper published 10 February 21
Good luck using it on your lap.
Look, we're not here to judge how many screens you need to get things done. Using multiple monitors is one of the best ways to boost your productivity, and many creative tasks demand as large a workspace as possible. But still. This laptop.
Expanscape's recently revealed Aurora 7 prototype features not one, not two, not three (we'll skip forward a bit), but seven displays. Each screen folds out from an enormous black box to create possibly the most ridiculous, not to mention delicate-looking, gadget we've ever seen. We have a feeling it would be easier to use one of our best ultra-wide monitors on your lap (don't try that, by the way).
The Aurora 7 in all its glory (Image credit: Expanscape)
Describing the machine as "a laptop with exactly zero compromises," Expanscape says the Aurora 7 was conceived as "a proper mobile Security Operations Center". Internally, it's powered by an Intel i9 9900K processor, with 64GB of RAM and a 2TB hard drive. Oh, and according to Gizmodo, the battery lasts one hour (which sounds like a bit of a compromise to us).
Although the laptop is only a prototype at this stage (several elements are currently 3D-printed), UK-based Expanscape is currently selling the pre-release version to interested parties. Those who choose to purchase the prototype "will have to sign an NDA" about the pricing – which suggests it won't come cheap. Still, seven screens.
The process of unfolding the Aurora 7 looks a little cumbersome (Image credit: Expanscape)
Of course, we shouldn't expect perfection from a prototype. Expanscape admits "there are several improvements" it plans to include in future versions, including a streamlining of the manual 13-step unfolding process (above). With all of our best laptops for graphic design requiring a single action (open lid), we'd hope the company can implement a faster and more automated method. That said, opening seven screens sounds like a lot of pressure for one button.
It might look like something out of a 90s hacker movie, but hey, maybe the Aurora 7 could be the perfect device for a niche set of users – potentially those working, as the company suggests, in security. We may scoff now, but perhaps in a few prototypes' time we'll be looking at the ultimate multi-tasking device (but please, Expanscape, no more screens).
Expanscape isn't the most established tech company around (the Aurora 7 is one of just two prototype products on its website), but it isn't the only one sharing zany product concepts. From transparent TVs to rollable phones, we've seen all sorts of weird and wonderful concepts from big players including Oppo and LG lately.

Montblanc Star Legacy Metamorphosis Limited Edition 8: Familiar Concept With Out-Of-This-World Surprise – Plus Video
by Joshua Munchow
Consider the butterfly.
The butterfly is one of the strangest creatures in the animal kingdom because it isn't born as a butterfly, but arises from something like a pod of goo. A butterfly has four life stages, the first being an egg that hatches into a larva, commonly known as a caterpillar. That caterpillar eats constantly until it grows big enough for its next life stage, the pupa. Fully grown, the caterpillar discards its last skin and is left with a hard "shell," a chrysalis. At this point it wraps itself in a cocoon and biological magic takes place: metamorphosis.
The caterpillar literally digests itself from the inside out and turns into a large mass of undifferentiated imaginal cells, sort of like stem cells in humans, which can turn into anything. At this point the butterfly is formless and resembles none of the other life stages.
While you and I grow from a small version of a human into a full-size version, a butterfly has to fundamentally cease to exist as one thing before it can morph into something new. The process of metamorphosis (scientifically known as holometabolism) takes the imaginal cells and, with the handywork of DNA and time, forms them into a structurally distinct new creature.
It really is stunning to think that butterflies, and more than a million other species of insects, undergo complete metamorphosis process to become adults – and have been doing so for hundreds of millions of years.
Luckily, not every metamorphosis takes place behind a cocoon of secrecy or results in the complete disintegration of the initial form. Some happen right in front of our eyes and are a splendor to behold. A great example is the latest installment in the Montblanc Metamorphosis concept named the Star Legacy Metamorphosis.
Montblanc Star Legacy Metamorphosis Limited Edition 8
Metamorphosis 1 & II
Montblanc's Metamorphosis concept originally came from a chronograph introduced at SIHH 2010, with the chrono's elapsed time displays hidden from view underneath the dial. Conceived by independent watchmakers Johnny Girardin and Franck Orny, this first Metamorphosis was introduced as the first of the then-new TimeWriter series, whose timepieces were developed in conjunction with the brand's Institut Minerva de Recherche en Haute Horlogerie.
Montblanc Metamorphosis I from 2010
The goal of the Minerva Institute was to preserve and cultivate the art of high watchmaking as well as work with young independent watchmakers to develop innovative technologies and concepts.
The Minerva Institute has meanwhile been scrapped in favor of (rightfully) adding the Minerva name back into Montblanc's standing repertoire of timepieces. But the interesting technical ideas developed at that time still exist.
Activating the slider on the left side of Metamorphosis I's case begins the metamorphosing process, opening two windows on the top and bottom of the dial to expose a chronograph minute counter disk (bottom) and a variation of the hour dial (top).
Even more impressive, in the lower window the minute counter disk rises, swallowing the date hand on display and completely changing the purpose of that lower dial.
Metamorphosis I was an athletically styled watch with a bit of a belly whose lower subdial area caused the case to bulge out.
Montblanc Metamorphosis II from 2014
The Metamorphosis II of 2014 was a completely redeveloped version of the concept with the same general chronograph and dial-change function but packaged much more classically in a round gold case with no bulge, guilloche-pattern dials, and little in the way of extraneous colors. And while it was a fundamentally new movement, the function was nearly identical.
But not so with 2019's Star Legacy Metamorphosis: this watch takes a large step to the side and plays with different functions and complications.
Montblanc Star Legacy Metamorphosis
This entirely new watch moves away from the chronograph function that made the first two so impressive and looks to the sky for inspiration. While it does feature the same slide activator opening two windows in the dial, the functions have pretty much completely changed: in the center of the watch we now find the hours and minutes, whereas before it was minutes and chronograph seconds.
Montblanc Star Legacy Metamorphosis Limited Edition 8 with shutters closed
At the 12 o'clock position, an oscillating balance seems to hover above the dial. But look closely and you will spy a small second hand continuously counting around a delicate set of second numerals. Since the hand and the balance wheel are concentric, this should give a hint as to what might lie underneath the metamorphosing cutaway once the slide is activated.
At 6 o'clock the date displays of the previous versions have been replaced by a globe representing the northern hemisphere and a 24-hour day/night and world time indication that correlate to the position of the globe as it rotates.
Just like on the previous Metamorphosis models, when the slider on the left side of the case is activated two windows open to reveal some mechanical magic below.
Montblanc Star Legacy Metamorphosis Limited Edition 8 with shutters open
The upper dial exposes the fact that the second hand is actually mounted on Montblanc's one-minute Exo Tourbillon, an awesome mechanical feat that allows the large balance to oscillate above the tourbillon cage. The Exo Tourbillon is fantastic on its own, but when combined with the "reveal," it compounds our understanding of just how novel it is in the world of tourbillons.
The balance, and by extension Exo Tourbillon, are supported by a sapphire crystal bridge, a characteristic feature of the Metamorphosis pieces. Inside the revealed window we also find a small cutout that shows a jumping date indication, meaning this watch didn't "lose" that useful function from the previous model, it's only been relocated.
Astronomical purpose
But the pièce de résistance is found at 6 o'clock where the day/night indication gives way to an orrery that displays the moon phase and its relation to the sun. A small hemisphere moon, dark on one side and polished on the other, rotates around the globe over the lunar period of 29.5 days while rotating on its own axis to the same synodic period.
While this isn't technically astronomically accurate (the difference between a sidereal and lunar month), it keeps the dark side of the moon always pointing away from the sun, which is represented by the Exo Tourbillon. That orientation shows the actual way that moon phases function from a heavenly or exo viewpoint.
The function is achieved by a planetary gear system that allows rotation around a central axis (the globe) and its own axis, and is so named because it mimics the motion of the planets. The miniature moon rides above a blue aventurine disk with golden stars applied for extra radiance.
Consistency for the moon phase display is on par with many quality moon phases at 122 years before being off by one day. But the accuracy isn't the star of the show here, that honor belongs to the reveal.
As any good magician, film editor, or game show host will tell you, for the best emotional payoff it's all about the reveal. Activating that slider and watching as two hinged wings fold out of the way to reveal a miniature orrery-style moon phase is pretty dramatic in the world of watchmaking.
The metamorphosis may not result in a component that rises from the bowels of the movement like previous models, but it does provide a tiny window into the cosmos, something that man has sought for millennia.
Results of effort
And since nothing has to rise out of the movement, I would wager that this movement would be much more robust and reliable than the previous Metamorphosis caliber as the components can be more securely held in place. I haven't specifically heard about any issues with past movements, but I know that the more moving parts, the higher probability of issues.
Given the amount of time spent engineering the previous two versions and the three years spent on this new MB M67.60 caliber, the robustness is sure to be as good as ever.
But with pieces like this, sturdy reliability isn't the main pursuit. You don't push the edges of what has been done unless you want to amaze and astound. The first two versions surprised watch lovers with the transforming dials and components rising from below, and this version relies a bit more on aesthetic choices and astronomical inspirations.
As a moon phase (and all things astronomy) lover I always appreciate when a brand takes a crack at a unique moon phase and combines it with something else it does very well.
In this case, that's the Metamorphosis and the Exo Tourbillon. Two inventions synonymous with Montblanc and Minerva and shown here in all their technical glory. And yet the watch itself is understated given its complexity and mechanical brilliance.
Even more so than the Metamorphosis II, the Star Legacy Metamorphosis is fairly subtle when it isn't in its open position. No tourbillon, no orbital moon phase, only a small globe poking out from the dial and a visible balance.
The average observer might only afford it a glance. And that would be a shame for something of this magnitude. But it falls in line with the concept of modest luxury and inconspicuous consumption, albeit with a hefty diameter and price tag to match.
But concept watches like this can't be accounted for in normal terms. It is a practice of asking "can we?" and hoping the answer is yes.
I am glad that Montblanc continues to put resources into creating pieces like this. While it isn't going to make or break the brand, it shows that creativity and passion still exist inside, and that is something I hope is true everywhere.
I guess I just must let it be . . . and move on to the breakdown!
Wowza Factor * 9.5 As usually happens when a brand makes something amazing related to the moon it gathers a huge wow from many, and that combined with the metamorphosis is superb!
Late Night Lust Appeal 95» 931.632m/s2 The metamorphosis of this watch can transform your soul! Or at least your sleeping patterns as you lust after this watch into the early morning hours!
M.G.R. * 71.2 Inching very near a perfect score, the movement inside the Star Legacy Metamorphosis is a brilliant work of horological skill!
Added-Functionitis * Significant There are a few added functions that take this beyond the regular watch. I would say you need prescription-strength Gotta-HAVE-That cream for the astronomical swelling.
Ouch Outline * 10.4 Alcohol in a fresh paper cut on your tongue! This hasn't happened to me, but given my past experience with both alcohol and cuts I can imagine I wouldn't volunteer for the experience. That being said, I would probably jump at the chance if it meant getting the Star Legacy Metamorphosis on my wrist!
Mermaid Moment * What does that slide do? Whoaaa! Seriously, one use of that slide and you are on your way to city hall!
Awesome Total * 742 Multiply the number of watches that will be made (8) with the number of years in development (3) and add the number of components in the movement (718) for a metamorphically awesome total!

Riding a seven-game win streak, the University of Calgary Dinos women's soccer team is amidst a home-and-home set versus the Lethbridge Pronghorns this weekend.
After beating them Thursday night at the Community Sports Stadium at the University of Lethbridge, the Dinos (7-1) host the Pronghorns (1-6-1) under the lights Friday at McMahon Stadium (4:30 p.m.).
The visitors won Thursday night's match 1-0 on a goal 20 minutes in by Damiane Sawatzky.
The Dinos won both their games last weekend at home, defeating a pair of prairie foes. Calgary scored seven goals while conceding none with a 4-0 win over the Saskatchewan Huskies and a 3-0 decision against the Regina Cougars. Montana Leonard and Kelsie MacDonald both tallied twice in the two games.
Lauren Houghton has remained a consistent presence in net for the Dinos and had one of her lighter workloads of the season this past weekend. The second-year goalkeeper made five saves over the two matches, earning her fifth and six clean sheets of the campaign. Overall, Houghton has stopped 34-of-37 shots on goal in 2018.
First-year midfielder Claire Rockliff scored her first goal for the Dinos during the team's 4-0 win over the Huskies on Saturday. The former Blizzard United player is the second rookie to score a goal this season for Calgary, joining forward Sofia Mondaca, who found the back of the net on Sept. 22 versus the Winnipeg Wesmen. The Dinos roster features six first-year players.
Lindsay Amatto leads all Pronghorn players with two goals, including the team's only game-winner, while Raeleen Vanden dungen has one goal and one assist.
Lethbridge sits in the Prairie Division cellar, tied with the Wesmen and Huskies on four points.
The Pronghorns have struggled to score, having collected a conference-low four goals this season.
The Pronghorns picked up their first win of the season in their last outing, beating the Huskies 2-1.
Erica Augsten and Aislinn Williston are Lethbridge's only fifth-year players.

Morgan Hubbard '20 knows zero Spanish. Yet after hearing about the MEDLIFE program from a physics discussion session, the junior biology major decided to spend part of her winter break in Peru to support local low-income communities. After a 14-hour flight from Chicago via Panama City, Hubbard arrived in the hostel that would act as the MEDLIFE group's base for the week in Southern Lima.
MEDLIFE, which stands for Medicine, Education, and Development for Low-Income Families Everywhere, is a national non-profit organization that partners with low-income communities across Latin America and Africa to help improve their access to healthcare, education and other basic necessities.
Established in 2005, MEDLIFE has a stated vision of "a world free from the constraints of poverty," and allows students to attend service learning trips — called "brigades" — to support its mission. Through the organization's Cornell chapter, students travel to Peru and Ecuador over breaks to provide services to local communities.
According to Hubbard, MEDLIFE's destination was a part of a Lima metropolitan area that is home to almost one million people who live in extreme poverty. They live in homes built from plywood into rocky hillsides without access to clean water and electricity. Through MEDLIFE, college students get to interact directly with Peruvian patients and medical staff in mobile clinics as they travel among these communities.
Each day, students would rotate through different stations: dental care, triage, pharmacy, obstetrician and gynecologist, a toothbrushing workshop and a development project, according to Hubbard.
On the first day of the brigade, Hubbard's group began working on their development project: a staircase to allow the community to safely travel up and down the treacherous hillside. Precariously steep paths had long made it difficult for pregnant women, children and older members of the villages to get water.
Community members had already laid the groundwork for the staircases by placing wooden blocks along the hillside, Hubbard said, and all that was left to be done by her team was to pour concrete into the wooden molds and paint the staircase.
"In a biased way, I think it was the hardest day. There was concrete at the bottom and we had paint buckets that we were passing, one by one, up the hill…there were some buckets flying," Hubbard said.
"It's not an easy thing to do but it's a small thing that makes a big impact there," she continued.
When the staircase was completed and painted red, the community celebrated by breaking a bottle of champagne on the site while a band played and children danced in traditional clothing.
Throughout the rest of the week, Hubbard shadowed a doctor, a pharmacist, a gynecologist and a dentist. The MEDLIFE students and doctors worked in mobile clinics and traveled from village to village across Southern Lima. Students acted as informal medical and dental assistants, working in tents that were set up roadside.
"If you want to even shadow [in the U.S.], you have to go through 800 hoops and sign forms and take classes just to get there. But there, you just jumped in. You're really in there with them, it's a hands-on experience that you can't get here," Hubbard said.
While Hubbard learned a lot from working with the MEDLIFE doctors, her most lasting memories came from personal interactions with the patients.
According to Hubbard, even providing basic hygienic tools like toothbrushes and toothpaste made a big impact. At the toothbrushing station, Hubbard and other students taught children how to brush their teeth — for the first time.
Hubbard said that the experience also opened her eyes to the socioeconomic differences among global communities and how much medical aid could mean.
"If I have a cold then I can just go to Cornell Health, even if it's not incredible, I can just walk over there. But for them, MEDLIFE will come however often they can. Even then it's not enough. They deserve more," Hubbard said.
Now, while back on campus, Hubbard is still providing help to the communities in Peru by contributing to MEDLIFE fundraisers, with a goal of helping to build the third floor of a community center in the Miraflores district.
MEDLIFE is currently accepting applications for their spring break brigade to Lima, Peru.
Cornellians gathered inside Willard Straight Hall at Cornell's second Global Health Club Fair Monday, an event that highlights opportunities for students to get involved in global health initiatives on campus. The fair had tables from 14 clubs, ranging from project teams to crowdfunding initiatives, where students could speak to club members.

Luigi Federzoni (* 27. September 1878 in Bologna; † 24. Januar 1967 in Rom) war ein italienischer Politiker vor und während der Zeit des Faschismus.

Federzoni war 1910 einer der Mitbegründer der Associazione Nazionalista Italiana (ANI), die sich an der Seite von Benito Mussolinis Fasci und anderen nationalistischen Gruppen für die Irredentaansprüche Italiens gegen Österreich-Ungarn starkmachte. 1913 wurde Federzoni Abgeordneter. Nach dem Aufstieg der Faschisten zur Macht wurde die ANI 1923 ein Teil des Partito Nazionale Fascista.

Im Kabinett Mussolini war Federzoni von 1923 bis 1928 Minister (Kolonialminister 1923–24 und 1926–28, Innenminister 1924–26) und galt als Ansprechpartner für König Viktor Emanuel III. in der Regierung. Anschließend gehörte er dem Senat an, dessen Präsident er von 1929 bis 1939 war. 1938 wurde er Präsident der Accademia d'Italia.

1943 unterzeichnete Federzoni mit den Beschluss des Faschistischen Großen Rates zur Absetzung Mussolinis. Bei Kriegsende wurde Federzoni zu einer lebenslangen Freiheitsstrafe verurteilt, 1947 aber amnestiert.

How would you like to have the necessary skills to skipper your own boat or a rented one while you're on your holiday?
Do you want to learn the basics of navigation, test your theoretical boat knowledge with practical, operational skills?
Do you want to master unexpected situations, under different weather conditions?
Perhaps you have a lot of passion for sailing but maybe your experience level is a little underdeveloped?
The purpose of this "Skipper training" program is a boat navigation training program within a condensed timeframe. The practical lessons will enable you to grasp the basics of boat navigation, the captain's main obligations, responsibilities and what kind of knowledge is required.
We will get you familiar with different parts of the vessel, maneuvering, sailing in and sailing out of the harbor, use of the anchor, handling the instruments, terestric navigational theory, how to read nautical maps, and navigation basics during day or night.
We will also review the most important and necessary information of the current maritime laws, meteorology, working with ropes and fenders, motor science, safety on the boat, and what to do when there is a man overboard.
These and many other issues related to handling of the vessel are important when you wish to return the rented vessel back to the charter company in its proper condition.
Our courses are adapted according to your level of knowledge, the number of the participants and the amount of time you have to learn. We realize that you are on your vacation, so we will work within your timeframe.
We choose to hold our courses directly on the charter boats, allowing you to become thoroughly familiar with the craft. We organize these lessons year round for your convenience.

'Deerskin' Is Buckwild
By Mark Jenkins
Greenwich Entertainment
Georges (Jean Dujardin) goes beyond the fringe in Deerskin.
The protagonist of Deerskinis a man with a movie camera. That, admittedly, is not how Georges (Jean Dujardin) thinks of himself. From his decidedly off-kilter point of view, Georges sees his life defined not by a camcorder but by something else entirely: his new fringed jacket, made of 100% deer hide.
That Deerskinis partly a parable of guerrilla filmmaking makes a lot more sense than the movie's plot, which is both outlandish and slight. Director Quentin Dupieux, also a composer of electronic music, is a latter-day absurdist as well as a cinematic one-man-band: He wrote, photographed, and edited the film, as he did his previous Rubber.
The movie did require a few actors, and Dupieux was fortunate to enlist Dujardin (best known as the star of The Artist) and Adele Haenel (of BPMand the Dardenne brothers' The Unknown Girl). Their naturalistic performances give the movie more plausibility than its wacky scenario merits.
Georges enters the story as he arrives in a colorless — almost literally — small town in the French Alps. He's gray-bearded, newly divorced, nearly broke, and in search of a used leather jacket he can't really afford. It's unclear (and will remain so) if he buys the coat as compensation for the breakup, or if his compulsion to own it is part of the mania that doomed his marriage.
The seller (Albert Delpy, father of actress-director Julie) includes a consumer-grade video camera as part of the deal. So Georges begins to shoot random footage, which emboldens him to tell local bartender Denise (Haenel) that he's a movie director. This offhand lie intrigues Denise, an aspiring film editor who's eager to cut whatever the eccentric newcomer shoots. (She's been practicing on, appropriately, Pulp Fiction, the gory handiwork of another Quentin.)
The first joke is that Georges doesn't know enough about filmmaking to invent the sort of deception that won't get him in deeper. Rather than pretend he's scouting locations, say, or shooting a personal diary film, he claims he's making a big-budget movie, but has lost contact with his producers. They're missing in Siberia, he says.
The second gag is that Georges's passion for his jacket grows into a bizarre and destructive fixation. Denise encourages this, in the service of her own obsession. And so the movie they're making turns into a horror flick. That's not so unusual for a low-budget directorial debut, of course. But usually the blood is fake.
One more jest, this one visual: The jacket is actually too small for its devoted wearer. While Dujardin underplays his character's ridiculousness, the garment itself makes the point. It looks like something Jimi Hendrix might have worn, now stretched around the tubby torso of a guy who wouldn't even have thought of going to Woodstock.
Dupieux lampoons both the middle-aged man's quest for potency and the affinity between filmmaking and voyeuristic violence. The latter is far from a new idea; it's the theme of Michael Powell's 1960 Peeping Tom. But where that film was once a shocker, Deerskinis more of a head-scratcher.
At least Dupieux goes too far in little more than nothing flat. If Deerskinlacks enough material to sustain a mere 77-minute running time, the movie doesn't linger much past the moment where its nuttiness turns rancid. Georges doesn't know when to quit, but his creator does.

Tooth discoloration is the number one concern for the average dental patient, and achieving aesthetically perfect teeth has become a popular goal. Unfortunately, your tooth enamel is naturally stained and worn with age, and even more so from regular exposure to sugar, tea, coffee, smoking and bacteria. This is where professional teeth whitening comes in.
Teeth whitening done in a professional dental office is a very safe and effective way to lighten your smile. It is probably the most affordable cosmetic dental procedure. Depending on the whitening option you choose, results can be seen very quickly: in office whitening, can whiten teeth anywhere from three to ten shades an hour.
There are two main ways in which your teeth can loose their whiteness.
Intrinsic Tooth Discoloration: The part of the tooth you see is made from two parts, the dentin and the enamel. The enamel is the white outer part of the tooth, and the dentin is the inner structure of the tooth. The dentin is yellow in color. When the enamel that covers it becomes thin, more of the yellow color shows through.
Extrinsic Tooth Discoloration: This is when the tooth enamel becomes stained. Coffee, red wine, and other acidic dark colored drinks if consumed over a long period of time will eventually turn the enamel a yellow color. Smoking is also another reason why the teeth can become yellow.
As you age, both of these yellowing factors will continue to darken your teeth and so it is a somewhat natural process. However it is important that you have a dentist look at your teeth before you start any teeth whitening procedure to make sure that there are no other factors that might be involved.
At Artistic Smiles, we offer teeth whitening to Miami residents whose teeth are not as white as they once were for a virtually instant smile makeover. We understand that a beautiful smile is often the key to making a good first impression, which is why providing patients of all ages with aesthetically appealing teeth is one of the main goals of our dental practice.
Professionally supervised teeth whitening works more quickly and better protects sensitive gums, than over the counter whitening products. Getting an oral exam before you start any whitening procedure is important so that a dentist can make sure that your tooth discoloration is not the result of a more serious dental condition that would be in need of a separate treatment.
In-office whitening – The Philips Zoom! system whitens teeth by up to 6 to 10 shades within one hour. It also has the added benefit of stabilizing the tooth enamel, causes little to no post-treatment sensitivity and helps improve natural shine. The process involves applying a hydrogen peroxide gel onto the surface of your teeth, followed by applying a laser light to activate the gel for a quick yet flawless end result.
Your gums and tooth root surfaces are covered with a protective barrier to protect them from the hydrogen peroxide. A plastic retractor will hold your lips and cheeks away from your teeth as well. The gel will be left on for about an hour. When the gel is removed, the procedure is finished and the whitening will be completed .
At-home whitening – Tray whitening is a more lengthy process which will take multiple applications over the course of a few weeks. The benefit however is that it allows you to maintain the desired whiteness of your smile as needed. If you will have a difficult time with the one hour in-office session, this method will be for you.
The process usually requires two appointments, the first appointment is when custom molds of your teeth are created which are used to create two clear, plastic trays that fit into the top and bottom of sets of teeth. You properly fill the trays with the hydrogen peroxide whitening gel to be placed into them and put the trays over your teeth. You will be instructed to wear the trays for about an hour every day, for a specific period of time depending on your individual needs.
Although teeth whitening is highly beneficial in the majority of cases, this treatment is not for everyone.
Because teeth whitening has become so popular, it is common for people to sometimes look for a DIY teeth whitening treatment instead of coming to the dentist to have the procedure done. But remember that whitening is unsafe for patients who are allergic to hydrogen peroxide (there are different grades of hydrogen peroxide, please do not try to whiten your teeth at home using store bought chemicals).
It will also not be effective for any discoloration caused by extreme plaque buildup or an oral disease. Furthermore, whitening systems only work on natural tooth enamel and will therefore be ineffective on existing fillings or crowns. It is crucial that you consult with your dentist Dr. Elejabarrieta prior to making the decision to whiten your teeth.
If you are ready to embark on the road to a bright and shining smile with teeth whitening, please contact the Miami dental experts from Artistic Smiles today.

Lots of lemon and raspberry aromas follow through to a medium body, citrus undertones and a tangy, linear finish.
This delicious, food friendly wine is a great introduction to the volcanic reds of Mount Etna. This is light in color with a fabulous middle of dried mixed berries and spice. The supple and fruity middle gives way to a dry and elegant finish with fine tannins perfect for washing down a light lunch or a rich dinner.
While many Etna Rosso wines benefit from long aging, the Planeta is fresh and approachable soon after release. It is more supple filled with sweet cherries and medium structure. It is food friendly and maybe too easy to enjoy. Like drinking a Nebbiolo Langhe while you wait for your Barolos to age, you drink the Planeta while you wait for your single vineyard Etnas to come around!

(Not Quite) Getting Over Cyber Punk – Richard Rabil, Jr.
We are still, in many ways, living in the world Reagan and Thatcher built—a neoliberal world of growing precarity, corporate dominance, divestment from the welfare state, and social atomization. In this sort of world, the reliance on narratives that feature hacker protagonists charged with solving insurmountable problems individually can seem all too familiar. […] If the best you can do is worm your way through gleaming arcologies you played little part in building—if your answer to dystopia is to develop some new anti-authoritarian style, attitude, or ethos—you might as well give up the game, don your mirrorshades, and admit you're still doing cyberpunk (close to four decades later).
[Cyber punk's lasting impact] is the insight that we are no long changing technology. Rather it has begun to change us. Not just our homes and schools, our governments and workplaces, but our senses, our memories, our very consciousness. I tend to agree with this. I think traditionally science fiction has treated technology as a set of tools. I mean robots, spaceships, marvelous new inventions, marvelous new communications technologies. And while sometimes these inventions might get out of hand, threatening or even replacing humanity, people themselves seem remarkably consistent over time. Even some of the most inventive future societies of classic writers like Heinlein or Asimov tend to feature character stereotypes familiar from earlier pulp fiction […] One could argue that cyber punk dealt in its own stereotypes—the streetwise kid with brilliant hacker skills, the shadowdy corporate rep, the tough as nails girl with a tragic past […]. But the chief difference is this. These characters are partly or extensively remade by their environments. They are as manipulated by their technologies as their technologies are by them. […] Cyber punk may have been the first school of writers who recognized, as a basic ground rule, that people would adapt to and be fundamentally altered by the technologies we've invented.
~From episode 19 of How Great Science Fiction Works. Italics mine.
If cyber punk does eventually go away, I hope its chief insight about technology and human nature does not. We need to keep digging into how technology changes us, not just how we use it to serve us. Given developments in internet technology, hacking, privacy, and big data, this endeavor seems even more important now than it was in the early '80s when cyber punk took off.

Beowulf, Unicorn Theatre ★★★★★
01 Oct 17 – 05 Nov 17, 1:00 PM – 2:15 PM
Beowulf, English Literature's first-ever superhero, has his epic exploits shown on the Unicorn Theatre stage this autumn

Beowulf, Unicorn Theatre 5 Beowulf, Unicorn Theatre Hailey Wendling
'Nor have I seen/a mightier man-at-arms on this earth/than the one standing here: unless I am mistaken.'
Make no mistake: no exploits are more epic than those of Beowulf, the hero of the longest surviving epic poem in Old English, and no children's theatre production more exciting than Beowulf at the Unicorn Theatre.
This autumn, Chris Thorpe tells the story of Beowulf's legendary bravery, and has updated it, turning it into a one-woman, rock-n-roll show.
The mono-rock-opera begins in Heorot, the famed mead-hall notorious for hosting parties so awesome they awoke monsters from their supernatural slumbers. The hall is given a modern twist with a DJ booth and storey-high speakers. Danny Saul can be spotted in the background spinning his decks, providing the promised live soundtrack that ranges from 'immersive metal' to 'electro-infused'.
When the dry ice clears on the industrial party set Beowulf (Debbie Korley) appears, and she wouldn't look out of place leading a pack of War Boys in Mad Max.
From there, it's a rock rollicking journey through the oldest story in the English Literature history books: Beowulf leads a band of warriors, defeats monsters, and generally just tries to be a good king. Grendel appears, playing a six-string bass. Grendel's mother is a mirrored, shapeless sculpture that hangs from the ceiling.
Debbie Korley truly captivates, delivering the poem as a 75-minute soliloquy. It requires a very specific type of talent to keep an audience of children enraptured armed with little more than a microphone, monologue, and mohawk.
Keeping with the oral tradition of epic poetry that Beowulf may or may not have originated from – it's a hot topic of debate amongst scholars – the play has a very ghost story around the campfire feel. This is perpetuated by the fog machine and by the stage itself occasionally emitting jets of flame.
The biggest divergence from the source material is retelling the poem from a first-person perspective. The creative choice makes the story more accessible for children, while also questioning themes of violence and bravery that run rampant throughout the original text. The play humanises the epic hero, grappling with questions the poem circumvented. Was Beowulf afraid when he battled Grendel? What is the real price of peace?
Beowulf has jokes that only fans of the 1000AD version will understand: the performance opens satirising epic catalogue of names: 'I would tell you about who I am, but then I'd have to tell you about my parents, and then my grandparents…' Indeed, the performance will likely be most appreciated by those who have read and enjoyed the original.
There's no better way to acquaint your little ones with the epic world of monster battles and chivalric codes than by introducing them to Beowulf. Part poem, part rock concert, and entirely epic, this production is one for the ages.

The Galician Massif (, also known as Macizo Galaico-Leonés) is a system of mountain ranges in the northwestern corner of the Iberian Peninsula. It is located in Galicia with its southeastern end reaching into the provinces of Zamora and León of Castile and León. Its highest point is Pena Trevinca at  . Another important peak is Cabeza de Manzaneda (1,781 m).

In traditional local folklore the forests of the Galician System are said to be inhabited by a variety of elves, fairies, ghosts, the Santa Compaña, the Nubeiro and witches (meigas).

Geology
Geomorphologically the Galician Massif is a northwestern prolongation of the Meseta Central, the inner Iberian plateau and has great affinity with the geology of the Tras os Montes Portuguese region, so that it is considered as a whole under the name 'Galicia-Trás-os-Montes Zone'. It is composed of Paleozoic materials (granite) with metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, slate and schist in the center and west, which were subject to Alpine folding. Its eastern end merges with the Cantabrian Mountains.

The relief of the system, with an average height of , is relatively smooth compared with other Iberian ranges. It is however very complex, having no defined structural alignment owing to the heavy fluvial erosion that has fragmented the terrain.

Generally the system includes mountains that are rounded in shape, often topped by small rocky outcrops, as well as horsts, basins and faults, roughly aligned in a N-S direction.

Vegetation
Since rain is abundant in Galicia, the undisturbed areas of the massif have a soft soil texture and are covered in dense vegetation of temperate deciduous forest where Quercus petraea and Quercus robur oaks predominate. The woods alternate with shrubland and wide natural meadows.

The vegetation is quite homogeneous throughout the massif and there is great plant biodiversity in the Galician mountains. Many of the species found in the mountains were used in Galician traditional medicine.

The Serra dos Ancares was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2006.

Mountain ranges
From the southeast to the northwest the Galician Massif has three physiographic longitudinal sections:
The southwestern ranges; the highest elevations are found in this sector, including 2,047 m high Pena Trevinca, the highest point of the whole system. These ranges reach into the provinces of León and Zamora, hence the alternative name Macizo Galaico-Leonés, and show scars of the glacial period, which are apparent in the Serra do Eixe, also known as Serra da Segundera (). Rivers Tera, Cabreira and Bibei run through glacial valleys and the San Martín de Castañeda Lake, Laguna de Lacillo lakes are moraine-dammed lakes.
The Galician Dorsal Range; with 1,778 m high Cabeza de Manzaneda, its highest elevation. A tectonic basin running in a north–south direction separates it from the southwestern ranges. It includes the Central Ourensan Massif.
The coastal ranges; such as Serra da Barbanza, are generally of a much lesser height and are separated from the Galician Dorsal Range by the Tui-Verín-Vigo intermontane basin.

A new era for Nicklaus Design at Florida State University's new Seminole Legacy Golf Club

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Jack Nicklaus is passing the torch at his golf design company to his son Jack II. The father-son duo have worked together for decades, but with the launch of their new Legacy Design, it is Jack II who leads while his dad advises.
Their first such course in North America is the new Seminole Legacy Golf Club at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. The course opened on March 7, 2020 with large crowds of members and FSU golf supporters on hand to see the Golden Bear and his design heir unveil their latest creation.
"It's passing the baton, from me to my son," said Jack Nicklaus. "To put what knowledge we have learned over time on a piece of property."
New era for Florida State University golf
Seminole Legacy Golf Club
The Nicklaus Design company was chosen for the project in part for their close ties to Florida State. There have been a half-dozen members of the Nicklaus family who are graduates of the school including three children of Jack II. Speaking to their family's love of FSU, Jack added that, "We've had a lot of people through here and have a pretty good legacy at Florida State to start with so we might as well put it on the golf course, too."
Located within FSU's southwest campus, the property, formerly the Don Veller Seminole Golf Course, has been the home to the Seminole golf teams and countless rounds from students, faculty, and community members for nearly sixty years. The original university course was designed by Bill Amick in 1962 and underwent a substantial renovation in 2004 at the hands of course architect Robert Walker. The Nicklaus Design team however treated the project as a complete redesign. Jack described their approach by saying "We treated it as a raw piece of property and just did a new golf course on it."

The start and finish of the golf course uses corridors from the original design, but the rest of the property is completely unrecognizable from what previously existed. The new routing showcases the terrain in an interesting fashion with holes that traverse a large dome-like land feature that dominates the property. A combination of tall pine trees and stately live oaks offer golfers a taste of the North Florida environment with holes that fit naturally among the hills there. Other than the addition of a man-made pond created for both irrigation needs and to guard a drivable par 4, the course blends seamlessly into the lay of the land.
The Legacy course was tailor made to provide the Seminole golf teams a new home for a program that has a long tradition of producing top players. Currently the men are led by Walker Cup standout Jon Pak and the women by Amanda Doherty who will play in the upcoming Augusta National Women's Amateur for the second straight year later this spring. Trey Jones is the head men's coach and Director of Golf at FSU who led the push to build a new golf course.
When asked about the vision for the project, Jack spoke to Jones' understanding of the modern game. "Trey wanted a modern golf course," said Nicklaus Sr. "He said every golf course they play the players turn it into a miniature golf course so we've got 7,800 yards in it, but you still make it so the average golfer can play it."
Jones spoke to the challenge of designing a course for the best collegiate players in the game as well as recreational players. "The flexibility is amazing out here - it can play completely differently from one day to the next because of the size of the greens and the range of tee options." Coach Jones believes the greens are what make the course both difficult for their athletes but also manageable for member play. "I love the green complexes and the surrounding areas - they are negative edge greens which means they won't capture your ball. It will run all the way through if you miss but you can chip it, putt it, bump a hybrid or any other club you choose. You won't get in a position you can't get out of."

The perspective of the modern elite player was not lost on the Nicklaus design team. Working with Coach Jones and Women's Coach Amy Bond, Jack II wanted to build a course that would aid in the development needs of the next generation of Seminole players.
"It's amazing to have this at Florida State University," said Pak. "It's a tough challenge and it will make the university better and the golf team better."
With players hitting the ball farther and straighter than ever, Nicklaus Design focused on building a set of greens that could put a high demand on world-class ball strikers. Coach Jones is particularly proud of what that can offer all the players in the program, "The golf course is going to help them train and learn how to hit every shot possible." Pak added, "It is definitely the greens that stand out. That's where Jack tried to make it the toughest. There are a lot of falloffs and the greens are very undulated. That's the challenge of the golf course."
The new Seminole Legacy course also brings a strong visual appeal to players that wasn't as prevalent in the original routing. Jack, the Nicklaus family patriarch, expanded on this saying, "It's a good test of golf. One of the two of the things I like to do with a golf course is make it aesthetically pleasing - I think a lot of people want to go and play some place that is pretty, but they also like to have someplace that has good golf shots in it. If you have good golf shots and it's aesthetically pleasing that combination usually makes for a good golf course. We now have that here." Golf course superintendent Matt Murphy agrees. Murphy spoke to the difference from the old course to the new, saying, "They've taken a property that has real good bones and gave it a classic look but with a modern feel. I think they've done well to make it look like it's been here for a long while."
Jack Nicklaus expanded on how his son applied their family design philosophy to the new Seminole Legacy course saying, "I think the eye is really what makes a golf course. You look at it and say 'man that's pretty, boy that's inviting, that's what I'd like to go play'. That's what we tried to do here."
Added Jack II, "Seminole Legacy sounds like family to me. It's a strong golf course - but for the average folks who will play it day in and out it's very playable. That strategy is present from the time you tee off to the time you finish."
How to play Seminole Legacy Golf Club
The Seminole Legacy Golf Club is operated by ClubCorp and is currently offering memberships. There is no daily-fee play, but special, affordable membership levels are available for students, alumni, faculty, and other employees of the university. The course will host yearly tournaments for both the men's and women's golf teams as well as regular outings and events for members. There are also plans for hosting a variety of championships and other important competitions including the 2021 NCAA Men's Golf Regional and a future AJGA event.
It was clear from the excitement surrounding the opening day that the $8 million renovation has exceeded the expectations of all involved. The popular belief among those who attended the opening is that the course will attract a high level of attention and success for the FSU golf program for years to come while giving members and those affiliated with the school a much more appealing place to play in Tallahassee.

We are in the midst of spring, the time where gardens are blooming and menus change from the heavier, winter stews to lighter fare. Many restaurants begin to take a farm-to-table approach, sourcing their food from local farms and continuing their sustainability efforts. One Chicago legend is taking this approach to the next level with a garden in his own backyard. From his restaurants on Clark Street to his line of salsas at the grocery store, Rick Bayless' name has become synonymous with delicious, fresh Mexican food. When I was able to attend the Bayless Organic Garden Tour, I knew I was going to witness food innovation at its finest, but I didn't know I would leave with inspiration for my own home garden.
As I entered through the wood-paneled doors, I entered into a garden oasis. My head was turning from side to side, up and down; every inch of the garden was used purposefully and beautifully. There I stood in Rick Bayless' garden that spanned three Chicago city lots as the tour began. The tour was led by Bill Shores, a professional gardener who has worked with Rick Bayless for ten years and has had a career growing food for chefs for 18 years. He explained that we were standing in a small-space ornamental and urban planning garden. Everything from the raised beds, patio boxes, and potted plants all served a purpose in the garden and there was no inch of land that was wasted. This was a garden where the chefs could collaborate openly with the gardener and interact with the crops. Many of the plants in this backyard garden actually are harvested and sent to Rick Bayless' restaurants less than four miles away! Talk about locally produced.
1. Many of the plants lining the raised beds are succession crops. These crops are also known as quick-growing crops. Once harvested it can take as little as four weeks for another harvest; examples include spinach and leafy greens.
2. The question was raised, how do you avoid squirrels, birds, and rabbits from entering the garden? The Bayless Organic Farm partners with a Chicago working cat program. There are two cats that roam around the garden area (I didn't spot them when I was there). Ever since the cats arrived, a rabbit has not been seen in the garden in 2 years. Thus, to keep the rabbits away from your garden, consider a cat.
3. Potted plants are great as decoration, but also can be used as a waiting area until space in the garden is available at the right time of the season.
4. You do not need a lot of space to start your own garden. You can plant in pots or begin with a small garden space and try vertical gardening.
5. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and be proud! The freshness you get from growing your own crops is unlike anything you will eat. Although you have to be patient in the beginning of the season, the outcome is well worth the wait.
You can learn more about the Bayless Garden Tour and about Bill Shores on their website. They even have their own blog filled with gardening knowledge and tips and tricks to get you through the unpredictable Chicago weather. Go ahead and start developing your green thumb and have fun!

from Manila Bulletin
Private concessionaire firm National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has indicated that it is supporting the studies of its technical partner State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) on power lines interconnection within the Southeast Asian region, but its bigger concern is actually premised more on its cost impact to Filipino consumers.
"We are supporting the conduct of such studies. But our concern is how much would it cost consumers, because if it's too expensive, then we really have to consider that," NGCP President Henry T. Sy Jr. has noted.
He emphasized that cost would certainly be an issue because the Philippine power lines could be the farthest that can be linked to the electricity system of the region.
In fact even before jumping into that monumental ambition of linking up ASEAN power grids, NGCP has more pressing agenda to explore the transmission line interconnection for the country's Visayas and Mindanao power grids.
This has been the recently reiterated mandate given to NGCP, as verbalized to the media by Energy Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi last month. The planned Negros-Zamboanga Interconnection Project (NZIP) is currently under study based on an imprimatur set by the Energy Regulatory Commission.
An earlier interconnection plan via submarine cable from Leyte to Mindanao was abandoned due to cost implications as well as on the challenges of physical interconnections of facilities.
For the ASEAN power grid interconnection, Chinese firm State Grid has noted that it is integrating in its study the possibility of linking Philippine electricity system to the rest of Southeast Asia.
State Grid has palpable grand targets of connecting the world's power line networks via its Global Energy Interconnection (GEI) initiative that was laid down by its top executives in a gathering of world energy leaders in Houston last year.
It was noted that the GEI proposal "not only depicts a new blueprint for green and low-carbon development of world energy, but also paves a new roadmap for combating climate change."
The Chinese firm said this undertaking is highly feasible with the deployment of ultra-high voltage (UHV) power grid, smart grid and clean energy technologies.


A podcast with news analysis and reviews of games from console, PC, and mobile platforms.
I wrote opening and closing theme songs as well as segment underscore for the podcast. To offset the high-tech subject matter we opted for a fun and organic musical language — late 60s Motown-esque soul. Studio vocalists and a cadre of high-end brass players gave the tunes fantastic energy and life. I still listen to these tracks for the sheer fun of it!

Damian Lillard is already on fire.
Portland's regular season has not started yet, but that's probably news to Damian Lillard. The Trail Blazers point guard played 42 minutes on Sunday night in an overtime win over the Utah Jazz.
Lillard is now averaging 23.7 points and 4.0 assists per game in three preseason contests. He's getting to the line, firing threes up at will and looking like a star.
Will it be enough to lift Portland throughout the regular season? Probably not, but watching him dominate sure is fun.


A fire extinguisher was let off from a moving vehicle after suspects who stole a large amount of cash from a Shenfield supermarket led police on a chase down the M25 and M11.
Witnesses reported that the entrance to the Tesco Express store on Hutton Road, Shenfield, had been cordoned off with police tape after the incident, in the early hours of this morning (Monday, October 2).
Police say that three men forced entry to the store shortly after 3.30am, where they left with a large amount of cash and a fire extinguisher.
Officers located the black Ford Fiesta involved and pursued it down the M25, before the fire extinguisher was set off from the moving car.
The car then moved onto the M11, before driving off road in Coopersale Lane. Theydon Bois.
Officers later located the car, but it had been abandoned.


This adapter will enable the use of U.S. style router power supplies with Australian/New Zealand electrical sockets. Routers sold in the Gargoyle store ship with power adapters that can already handle 240v or 120v AC current, but the plugs will not fit foreign power outlets. This small, cheap adapter is the solution.
Note that this adapter does NOT alter electrical voltage, it merely allows the insertion of a U.S. style plug into a Australian/New Zealand socket.

Archie Harrison Christening Details: Everything We Know!
Archie Harrison is extremely cute and very loved.
This much we know.
But we now know something else about the first and, thus far only, child of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry: His Christening date!
According to multiple sources, this major religious event will take place on Saturday, July 6.
Per People Magazine sources, the very young man – who turns two months old on this same date – will celebrate his milestone in Queen Elizabeth's private chapel at Windsor Castle.
The location was chosen by the Duchess and Duke of Sussex because they "wanted an intimate, peaceful setting in a place with such a special connection to Her Majesty," People writes.
It probably also helped that Meghan and Harry now reside at Frogmore Cottage… which is also on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
So there won't be any need to stuff Archie into a car seat.
What else do we know about the pending Royal Christening?
Doria Ragland, Meghan's mother, will be by her daughter's side for the occasion, although Queen Elizabeth actually will NOT be due to a prior commitment.
Before you take this as a sign that the Queen clearly hates Markle, please consider/remember: both the Queen and her husband, Prince Philip, were absent for Prince Louis' Christening last year.
We can also confirm, via what we read on the Internet, that the gathering will be attended by approximately 25 family members and friends — and that photos to be released the next day.
Both of these tidbits are typical of a Royal Christening.
The timing of the baptism also makes sense, considering Prince William and Kate Middleton's three kids – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – were all Christened within about three months of their birth.
Moreover, Charlotte and Louis were both christened in the month of July, just like Archie will be.
Amazing, right?!?
Or maybe just a coincidence.
"This is a beautiful milestone and they are excited to share it as a family first and then with the world," an insider tells People Magazine.
Markle and Harry, meanwhile, have also announced that they'll be taking a tour of Africa in the near future … with Archie in tow! It will mark the first time the baby leaves his native country.
During the Diana Award National Youth Mentoring Summit (an event honoring his late mother, Princess Diana), Harry delivered a speech this week in which he opened up about caring for his son.
"I'm struck by a few things today, most of which is the power of the invisible role model. The person who may be sitting here today that doesn't realize that someone looks up to them, that — for that person — you inspire them to be kinder, better, greater, more successful, more impactful," said Harry, adding:
"Perhaps it's the newfound clarity I have as a father knowing that my son will always be watching what I do, mimicking my behavior, one day maybe even following in my footsteps."
Added the handsome Royal:
"But it's not just my role as a father that shows me that; it's in the people I see every day that don't realize how inspirational they are to those watching.
"From small acts of kindness to large measures of character — each move that we make matters, especially when we don't think anyone is watching. That is when our true character comes to light."
