Q: Defer JS loading - insert to Head or Body I wanted to know what is the most recommended way in terms of optimization, caching and page load speed. Should I dynamically insert the JS files in the BODY or HEAD of my website document when using Defer loading?

A: If you are using DEFER, it does not matter whether you put the script tag in the HEAD or BODY as far as when the script will run, or cache. Either way, it will run after the page is finished parsing, and will cache according to the server headers sent with the javascript file.
You may still want to put the script tags at the end of the body to optimize for the case where an older browser ignores the DEFER attribute.
Alternatively, you may want to put the script tags in the HEAD to get the javascript files earlier in the fetching order (before images, audio, or video files specified in the body, for example).

Yamaha TRX Frankenstein Cafe Racer
Theo's Frankenstein bike started out as a '96 Yamaha TRX but very few TRX components remain. The new engine hails from a later model Yamaha TDM, the rear swingarm and wheels are of Yamaha YZF750 heritage and rear shocks are from a Kawasaki ZX6R modified to fit. The tank is the original TRX unit but its seat was made using 3 fibreglass pieces cast off a model Theo built from scratch. Designed to complement the lines of the tank the seat also works as a battery/electrics box keeping everything out of sight and watertight.
The rebuilt TDM engine is a bigger 900cc unit with a realigned output shaft to line up the chain and sprockets correctly. An 850 TDM head allows the use of the 850 carbs. This addition also made mounting the engine easier as it uses the same front brackets as the TRX. The bottom end was also converted to use an 850 dry-sump oil tank slightly modified to fit the 900 cases.
"The bike handles very well and everything works as it should," says Theo. "The 900 engine is newer than the TRX and is a big improvement over the original 850 lump. The 6-speed gearbox provides lighter gearshifts, it has a better clutch and loads more low down torque. There's no oil consumption due to the Nikasil cylinders and it is faster and much lighter than the TRX or the TDM ever were."
Other custom one-off items on the bike include the carbon fibre exhaust mounts and carburettor box. There's an aluminium front sprocket cover and a long list of handmade mounting brackets and linkages. The mustard yellow and white custom paint scheme are unorthodox just like the rest of the bike, but you won't be hearing any screams from the people it encounters, it's more likely to be camera clicks and curious questions.

When Frankenstein created his monster it was labelled an abomination. In reality, what he had made was a man better than most. He was stronger, bigger and much more resilient than the average Joe. Unfortunately, the good doctor's deplorable skills with a needle and thread left him ugly as sin. Our latest build from Theo in the Netherlands takes the same principle of combining "expired" parts to create a better bike. But unlike Dr Frankie, Theo has a great eye for design.

As the mid-year exams loom, children will write tests to measure how much they remember what they have learned. Being able to concentrate in class is a critical step in the learning process and is fundamental for success at school.
Can you remember the name of your Grade 1 teacher? Certainly the information was stored at one time ― the teacher was a central figure in your life for nearly a year. If you can't recall the name, is it still somewhere in your long-term memory?
"Working memory" is what we have to keep track of things moment to moment: driving on a highway and focusing on the vehicles around us, then forgetting them as we move on; remembering all the names at the dinner party while conversing with one person about her job.
A new study shows that older people's mental skills start declining years before death, even if they don't have dementia. The study is published in the online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
The sensory memory for visual stimuli is sometimes known as the iconic memory, the memory for aural stimuli is known as the echoic memory, and that for touch as the haptic memory. In a study on Alzheimer's researchers showed that diminished iconic memory may be an early indicator of an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease.

Fourteen Pioneers Honored at Senior Day
by Brendan Capozzi | Posted on February 9, 2022 February 7, 2022
On Jan. 30, the Sacred Heart men's wrestling team held their senior day at the Pitt Center before taking on Franklin and Marshall College in their fourth dual meet of the season. Each of the 14 seniors that were honored received a framed red singlet as a reminder of the dedication they have put into the team.
The Pitt Center was filled with fans and fellow teammates all in support of the senior Pioneers. This atmosphere of support for the program is what Coach John Clark has been working on since he came to Fairfield in 2017.
"It was great because we had 14 seniors that were honored," said Clark. "It was great to see the amount of people come and watch the match."
One of the three winners of the day for Sacred Heart was senior Nick Palumbo. Palumbo pinned senior Christian Dailey to secure his second win in three matches.
"It helped that the match was at home, and it was senior night which helped me feed off the energy from the crowd," said Palumbo.
Senior Anthony Petrillo acknowledged that his role as a senior and upperclassman is not just to wrestle, but also to be a mentor and leader to younger athletes on the team as well.
"I think having these types of leaders like us and other individuals on the team lead them on the right path," said Petrillo. "We want them to realize that they should make the best decisions for themselves."
From a recruiting standpoint, the men's wrestling program has expanded exponentially as the team has brought in over 30 new members in this past year. Senior Connor Rossi has been witness to the growth of the team since joining, and he is optimistic that it will only continue to grow after he hangs up his singlet.
"We have all been here for four years, and we are always going to be Pioneers at heart," said Rossi. "We just want to come back and look at the legacy that we left behind."
If there is one element of the team that will stay close to the seniors' hearts, it would be the wisdom brought to them by their head coach. Clark has been a mentor not only from a wrestling standpoint, but in all aspects of life.
"His love for wrestling really rubbed off on all of us, and when I first got here from Buffalo, I did not enjoy wrestling as much," said Palumbo. "However, spending time with the coach and his love for wrestling made me fall back in love with the sport."
The Pioneers will continue their campaign on Feb. 6 in Bloomsburg, Pa. as they face off against Bloomsburg University. The following week Sacred Heart will compete against Hofstra University on Feb. 12 in search of their first conference win of the year.

Saudi Arabia Seeks to Ease Tensions With Iran
September attack on oil facilities was 'game-changer' for Riyadh; new stance aims to protect economy
A September strike widely blamed on Iran caused damage to a Saudi Aramco oil facility in Abqaiq, Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is quietly trying to mend fences with Iran and other regional foes as officials in the kingdom have grown more worried about the risks conflict poses to its oil-dependent economy.
Riyadh's newfound interest in better relations with regional rivals comes as Saudi officials question how much backing it has from the U.S. and other allies. Saudi calculations changed after a cruise-missile and drone strike—blamed on Tehran—temporarily disabled a large portion of the country's crude production earlier this year. Washington didn't hit back at Iran after the attack, but it sent troops to strengthen Saudi defenses.
"The Sept. 14 attack was a game-changer," one Saudi official said.
Representatives of Saudi Arabia and Iran have directly exchanged messages in recent months and also communicated through intermediaries in Oman, Kuwait and Pakistan, according to Saudi, European and U.S. officials. The main focus of the communications, these officials say, has been easing tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
According to Iran's ambassador to Paris, Bahram Ghasemi, and other officials, Tehran has floated a peace plan to the Saudis that includes a mutual pledge of nonaggression and cooperation, aimed at securing oil exports following a spate of tanker attacks.


University Hospital Lewisham's new MRI scanner was officially unveiled on Monday (3 September). The team behind the project, including external project managers and architects, invited chief executive Ben Travis to help celebrate.
The use of MRI for diagnosis has increased in recent years and the addition of a third scanner to the Trust gives us an increased capacity for inpatients and outpatients on both sites.
Dr Fatima Shah, consultant radiologist and clinical director for radiology at UHL said: "It is fantastic the MRI unit at UHL has now achieved its full potential, offering two scanners back-to-back with inpatient and outpatient waiting areas, changing facilities and a recovery area.

A Temple to the Electrical Dawn: Budapest's Abandoned Art Deco Power Station
by Jennifer Walker August 4, 2014
The control room of the Kelenföld Power Station (all photographs by the author)
Hidden in Budapest's XI District, on the banks of the Danube in the unfashionable side of Buda, lies an iconic monument symbolizing the dawn of the electrical age. Once Europe's most advanced power station, the semi-abandoned, and now privately owned site, in Kelenföld celebrates its 100th birthday this year.
Kelenföld Power Station is not only a technological marvel, having supplied a large chunk of the city with electricity as far back as 1914, but it's also one of the masterpieces in industrial design.
Two architects, Kálmán Reichl and Virgil Borbíro, designed the old buildings of the power plant, which under the Hungarian law means they will never be demolished, but neither will they be restored. You can see the slow decay in parts of the building, which only enhances their beauty in a bittersweet, tragic manner, since they will only continue to deteriorate over time. The old part of the Kelenföld Power Station is no longer supplying the city's electricity, but it's frequently used in films and music videos, most recently as a steampunk power room in NBC's Dracula TV series.
Occasionally the plant runs tours, which are the only way of visiting this incredible facility. Visitors are equipped with luminous yellow vests and hard hats, before passing through a labyrinth of pipes into the old turbine hall filled with antique turbines, signs, and a cordoned-off underworld you can only glimpse at from above.
But taking a few steps up past the tiny, one-man bunker built into the wall leads you into the control room. Antique dials are set against military green metal panels, and an Art Deco glass ceiling allows streams of sunlight to illuminate the dusty knobs, gauges, and switches.
The love affair between design and technology is clear in this chamber, capturing the optimism of the electrical age in the early 20th century, which now in its weathered state looks like something right out of a Jules Verne novel.
The next tour dates (in Hungarian) are September 25, October 1, 8, 15, and 29.

Miguel Rodriguez: Firefighting, Fundraising a Family Affair
"L.A. Fire Team" member Miguel Rodriguez
Growing up, Miguel Rodriguez had no interest in firefighting.
But during one family get-together, a cousin who worked for Los Angeles Fire Department planted the seed in his mind.
"At the time I was out of college and working," Rodriguez recalled. "I came to a crossroads: do I go to graduate school or look at something else?"
Rodriguez saw his cousin again at another gathering, who invited him to visit him at work.
"'Primo, join me and we can work together,'" Rodriguez remembers his cousin asking. "So, I went to Fire Station 27 and I got hooked. The family bonding, the brotherhood; they invited me to eat dinner there. I cleaned dishes with them."
After visiting Station 27 and several others, Rodriguez decided to become a firefighter.
LAFD Firefighter Miguel Rodriguez
"I started going to school at night, taking fire science and technology courses. That's where you see all the candidates that want to become firefighters and how prepared you have to be if you want to be considered."
Rodriguez joined the LAFD at age 30, and has served for 19 years. For the last decade, he's been a dispatcher for Metro Communications Center attached to Fire Station 4. He works out in the field when he wants overtime so he doesn't lose his skills.
One thing that keeps Rodriguez in shape is running."I've been a runner since I can remember. I followed my brother since I was a kid. He ran, I ran. He played soccer, I played soccer. We always had a passion for running," he said. "I started running half-marathons and full marathons when I was in college and I've always kept it up."
In 2017, Rodriguez joined the L.A. Fire Marathon team on behalf of the Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firefighter's Fund.
"It's motivating to run for a charity – and it's personal for us because it's for Widows and Orphans," Rodriguez said. "To be able to get all your friends to support you at work and your family, it's very encouraging."
Luckily, Rodriguez also found motivation with his wife Irene, who is also a runner.
"When we dated, every day after work we ran. We're very competitive," Rodriguez admitted with a laugh. He and Irene would enter races together, and whoever won could pick up something nice at the store afterwards.
"The first year I ran [for our L.A. firefighter's charity ] my wife and I split the distance. As a charity you're allowed to do that."
Irene ran the first half of the L.A. Marathon while Miguel ran the second half. "The great thing about the marathon is they really make all the charities feel like they're accomplishing something. Typically, at the marathon, you go through a chute at the finish line. There's no chute for the half marathon, but they set up a chute for all the charities. You run through and you slap hands and embrace your loved one, but then you gotta go!" he said.
L.A. Fire Marathon team with Gayle Anderson – KTLA Morning News
Rodriguez ran the L.A. Marathon by himself in 2018, and hopes to rally his Metro family to run for the charity in 2020.
"It's a very large group of firefighters here. I know I can get a group of guys to train with me. Not everyone wants to run 26 miles but we can get guys training for half; we'd have a good time as a team and raise money."

Built to control - for the playmakers who set the pace and take charge, adidas present their revolutionary Ace 15. 1 FG/AG Rugby Boots. Packed with performance features to keep you firmly in control and at the centre of all the action, the defining aspect of the ACE 15. 1 is the *i*CONTROL WEB*i* wrapped around the toes and sides. Created with a 3D surface for perfect ball handling, the 3-layer compound textile combines breathability and protection while a thin and grippy EVA layer enhances performance and control. Running your fingers over the surface and you will also notice a subtle dotted pattern called *i*NSG*i* (Non Stop Grip). This isn't just for show as its purpose is to generate perfect ball control in all conditions so there's no weather off limits. Of course all these features count for nothing if the comfort isn't there but rest assured there's plenty of that to look after your feet. Plush padding wraps around the ankle and heel while the sturdy heel counter supports your foot during all actions. Completing the overhaul is the entirely new *i*GROUND CONTROL*i* stud configuration. Allowing you to put more studs on the ball for complete control as well as perfect traction over firm and artificial surfaces, conical moulded studs vary in size along the sole. Designed to bring order to a chaotic game, stay in control of the beautiful game with adidas. This boot weighs 255g (UK 8).

Q: Time related function execution in SQL queries Here is an interesting thought.
UPDATE table1
SET field1 = UNIX_TIMESTAMP()
WHERE
    field1 <= UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - 600
AND field2 > UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - 1000

Will the three time stamp may result in different values .. or if there is a chance that MySQL  may intelligently evaluate these once and use the result in all three of these ?

A: Interestingly, this is not properly documented for UNIX_TIMESTAMP().  For NOW(), the documentation is quite clear:

NOW() returns a constant time that indicates the time at which the
  statement began to execute. (Within a stored function or trigger,
  NOW() returns the time at which the function or triggering statement
  began to execute.) This differs from the behavior for SYSDATE(), which
  returns the exact time at which it executes.

I think UNIX_TIMETAMP() follows the same rules as NOW(), but I'm not 100% sure.

A: I think you don't want to repeat unix_timestamp().
SET @now = NOW();
UPDATE table1
SET field1 = @now
WHERE
   field1 <= @now - 600
   AND field2 > @now - 1000;

My main research has been focussing on the study of lipids preserved in archaeological artefacts, in order to reconstruct past exploitation of natural resources by ancient populations, using the molecular composition of extracts and compound-specific C isotope composition of fatty acids. I have been particularly interested in developing and validating new biomarker and compound-specific stable isotope proxies to investigate subsistence practices.
My Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship recognises the untapped potential of archaeological pottery vessels to serve as a novel proxy for palaeoprecipitation and explores the link between climate change and human responses in the past, and will be held in the Organic Geochemistry Unit, School of Chemistry, in collaboration with Professor Paul Valdes (climate modeller, BRIDGE, UoB), Professor Michael Lee (ruminant dietician, Bristol Veterinary School, UoB and North Wyke Farm Platform), Dr Marie Balasse(isotopic archaeozoologist, MNHN, Paris), Professor Arek Marciniak (archaeozoologist, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland) and Dr Olivier Nieuwenhuyse (Humboldt Fellow at the Institut für Vorderasiatische Archäologie, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany).

The New York Police Department has finally caught up with contemporary times and will now offer press passes to online journalists. In the past, the department has regularly denied those passes to reporters who publish solely online.
Under the new credentialing rules, an applicant must show that within the two-year period preceding the application, he or she has covered six news events where the City had restricted access. Reporters who have not yet covered six events will need to get separate credentials for each instance before they qualify for the press card. The new rules cover self-employed newspersons and other individuals who gather and report the news.
The press card will be issued every two years and will provide its holder access to the restricted events, after police approval. Many entities not affiliated with the city government also use these press passes to determine who is a legitimate member of the media.
A public-comment period on the proposed new rules is currently in effect. It extends through April 7, 2010, when an open hearing will be held at Police Headquarters in Lower Manhattan.
For a little more background on the lawsuit and plaintiffs, check out this article from January 2009 on The New York Times' City Room blog. To read the official press release in its entirety, check out the list of sources below.

Cottage Nest - Crafting A Handmade Life: Cute.
"oh my gawd that's cute"
"look at this, it's cute"
"you know what's cute? this."
"hey do you remember that time we went on vacation and saw that other store"
Ahhh, sometimes they buy, sometimes they just leave cute wishes for me to sweep up and carry out with the night's garbage...which is also cute.
This week we actually have gotten a lot of squeal worthy items, that are getting just right amount of "OMG, that's cute"
One of our fellow artisans is opening her own boutique soon in Tullahoma, TN! We wish her all the best and hope everything is just as cute.


I thought this was a fun short video. It's a video of Alexi Smith from Noriyaro.com going to a 1JZ meet at Fuji. If you aren't following him on his blog I highly suggest it. A lot of great content. I really love his car. Something about big 4 doors with a ton of horsepower and a drift theme that go so well together. I would love to find a local in Japanese and have him take me to all the great places of Japan. Ah, some day.
Man, I love these custom classics! I can honestly say this is the first woody wagon I can say I wouldn't mind owning. Great lines and a set of modern oversized wire wheels. I have to ask, how much different are wood panels then the metal panels we are used to. Must be really interesting to drive.
I don't understand why I find ugly things like this so attractive. It's an old Mazda truck with a wooden bed, but yet, with its lowered suspension and wide wheels I'm in love with it. I would love to have a "work" truck like this with some type of turbo motor swap in it. Something just to carry around a ruckus, fixie, and engine swap here and there. With some investigation I found out this Mazda is powered by a SR20. So HOT!
Great, great edit from Hella Flush Hawaii. Great show, great cars, great people.
I sure it would take me a couple seconds to find out what this car is, but I am interested in the knowledge base of my followers. So, can anyone name this car? First thing that comes to my head is NSU, but I'm probably completely wrong. It looks great with very classic lines. Great restoration from the looks of it, and the chrome/gold plated BBS RS' certainly help with the overall look.
I have been lucky enough to be seeing a couple of these newer TL's modded. They look REALLY good, I have to say. Can't wait to start seeing some serious stanced out TL's. Below is a great example of it's potential.
I posted up a teaser post about a week ago with this car and it's new setup. We'll pictures have finally surfaced so I had to share them with you guys. The car came our great, but I can't say I like the front bumper on the first picture. Hopefully he switches back to the OEM turbo piece. Regardless, GREAT looking wrap and the wheels a the sickest I've seen in a while! I have to say, I've always wanted to daily a non-turbo Porsche. With the great pricing of this generation, I might seriously look into one in the near future.
This second picture really brings out everything great about this car. Not to mention the stance!!


Despite years of effort, behaviors of materials under extreme conditions, such as those in the deep Earth and planets, are still not well understood. One of the goals of our Post-K Exploratory Challenge Project "Frontiers of Basic Science: Challenging the Limits" is to establish the knowledge of materials science to understand the history of the Earth and planets from birth to death in terms of their materials properties predicted with the first principles molecular dynamics simulations on the Post-K computer, a Japanese future flagship supercomputer candidate, in cooperation with researchers of high pressure science, earth sciences and computer science.
In this article, recent progresses of the existence of hydrous materials in the Earth's interiors were reviewed. Based on those knowledge, the possible ways to quantify the amount of water in the Earth using the first-principles calculations combined with the high performance computation are discussed.
In this article, we introduce our linear-scaling first-principles calculation code CONQUEST, which enables us to carry out density functional theory (DFT) calculations on very large systems, of up to millions of atoms. The code uses localized basis sets and linear-scaling (or O(N)) methods, and has high parallel efficiency on large supercomputers like the K computer in Kobe. The code should be a powerful tool for the study of structural and physical properties of materials in the earth's deep interior, and the prospects for this application are discussed.
The physical properties of silicate liquids show peculiar behaviors under pressure. Shear viscosities of acidic silicate liquids decrease with increasing pressure although that of basic silicate liquids increase. Moreover, the anomalies in compression curves also have been reported. These experimental results indicate that the silicate liquids have several types of characteristic structure in composition/pressure plane. The molecular dynamics simulation is an appropriate method for investigating response of static/dynamic properties of the silicate liquids vs. pressure and composition because it provides the trajectories of the all atoms in simulation cell. Moreover, the first-principles molecular dynamics simulation is more suitable method because the forces are calculated from electronic structure. It enables us to simulate the extreme situation, such as bond exchanging event in liquid, without empirical factor. However, the strong finite size effect does not allow the application of first-principles molecular dynamics simulations because of its heavy calculation cost, because the system composed of at least 104 atoms is required in order to obtain the reliable physical properties. Consequently, the development of linear-scaling first-principles molecular dynamics simulation codes is necessary for the advance of theoretical study of silicate liquids.
In this article, we review a series of first-principles studies of phase transitions in earth/planet-forming materials under ultrahigh pressure which corresponds to deep interiors of super-Earths and is difficult to be achieved by diamond-anvil-cell experiments. As examples, we discuss dissociations of MgSiO3 post-perovskite and novel crystalline phases of SiO2 and Al2O3 under ultrahigh pressures. The methods shown in this article are general and can be applied to any structural phase transitions.
Recently, superconductivity at 203 K was discovered in hydrogen sulfide at 155 GPa, and similar superconductivity has been expected in other hydrogen compounds. Computational predictions are useful for the study on crystal structure and superconductivity of hydrogen compounds under high-pressure. In this paper, we explain the background of the 203 K superconductivity discovery referring previous theoretical and experimental studies, and introduce our recent results on the superconductivity of sulfur-hydrogen and argon-hydrogen systems predicted by first-principles electronic structure calculations and evolutionary techniques for crystal structure search.

Richard Mortensen 1958 Signed Watercolor and Graphite Abstract Painting
A 1958 watercolor and graphite abstract painting by Danish artist Richard Mortensen (1910-1993). The painting depicts yellow and gray geometric shapes on a teal ground with borders in graphite throughout. Displayed behind a white mat and in a black frame, the painting is signed "Mortensen 58" to the lower right corner.
Mortensen studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Art. He was influenced by the modern artist Wassily Kandinsky, which led him to work in abstraction. In Denmark, Mortensen was a founder of the "Linien" school of abstract painters. Mortensen won awards such as Edvard Munch Prize in 1946, the Kandinsky Prize in 1950, and the Thorvaldsen Medal in 1968. He was a professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Art from 1964 until 1980.
25.75" x 18" x 1" (frame); 17.5" x 12" (sight).
Some spotting/discoloration on the painting. Surface scratches to the frame.

Researchers at Umeå University in Sweden have found that carbon dioxide, in its ionic form bicarbonate, has a regulating function in the splitting of water in photosynthesis. This means that carbon dioxide has an additional role to being reduced to sugar. The pioneering work is published in the latest issue of the scientific journal PNAS.

La théorie de Mohr-Coulomb est un modèle mathématique (voir Surface limite) décrivant la réponse des matériaux fragiles tels que le béton, ou des agglomérats lâches, aux contraintes de cisaillement ainsi qu'au stress normal. La plupart des matériaux d'ingénierie classiques suivent cette règle dans au moins une partie de leur enveloppe qui se rompt par cisaillement. En général, la théorie s'applique aux matériaux dont la résistance à la compression est de loin supérieure à la résistance à la traction.

En géotechnique, la théorie est utilisée pour définir la résistance au cisaillement des sols et des roches à différents états de .

En ingénierie des structures, elle est utilisée pour déterminer la charge de rupture ainsi que l'angle de rupture d'une fracture de déplacement dans des matériaux tels le béton. L'hypothèse de frottement de Coulomb est utilisée pour déterminer la combinaison de la contrainte normale et de la contrainte de cisaillement qui va engendrer une fracture du matériau. Le cercle de Mohr est utilisé pour déterminer lesquelles des contraintes principales produiront cette combinaison de la contrainte de cisaillement et normale, et l'angle du plan dans lequel cela se produira. Selon le principe de la  à la rupture, le stress introduit est perpendiculaire à la ligne qui décrit l'état de la fracture.

Critère de rupture de Mohr-Coulomb

Le critère de rupture de Mohr-Coulomb représente l'enveloppe linéaire qui est obtenue par le rapport entre la contrainte de cisaillement d'un matériau et la contrainte normale :

où  est la contrainte de cisaillement,  est la contrainte normale,  est l'ordonnée de l'enveloppe de rupture par rapport à l'axe des  et  est la pente de l'enveloppe de rupture.

Ich und Du ist ein deutscher Spielfilm von Alfred Weidenmann aus dem Jahr 1953 nach einer Literaturvorlage von Christian Bock.

Handlung
Peter kauft bei Brigitte eine Schallplatte, verliebt sich umgehend und heiratet sie. Von Peters großzügiger Firma bekommen die beiden eine Hochzeitsreise nach Italien geschenkt. Dann aber zeigen sich die ersten Probleme. Brigitte ist, im Gegensatz zu Peter, ein wenig unordentlich, dafür versteht er nicht so viel von Musik und für sie ist Boxen ein roher Sport. Es kommt zu den kleinen Streitereien des Alltags. Bis hier ist Tante Gruber immer noch in der Lage zu schlichten. Als aber auch noch das Geld knapp wird, die Ratenzahlungen nicht mehr beglichen werden können, Brigitte sich aber trotzdem ein sündhaft teures Kleid kauft, kracht es gehörig. Hinzu kommt, dass Peter auf den großzügigen und mildtätigen Chef seiner Frau eifersüchtig wird. Es bleibt nur noch die Scheidung.

Sein Hotelzimmer kann Peter nicht lange bezahlen, so zieht er bald wieder in die gemeinsame Wohnung. Allerdings ist die Verbindungstür streng verriegelt, der Umgangston höflich, aber kühl. Natürlich will Peter nun seine wiedergewonnene Freiheit auskosten und trifft sich mit der sehr in ihn verliebten Marianne. Auch Brigitte wir intensiv von dem Komponisten Charly, der mehr Selbstvertrauen als Geld hat, umworben. Doch beiden ehemaligen Eheleuten behagen diese Flirts nicht. Sie stellen aber auch fest, dass sie eifersüchtig aufeinander sind. Als Peters Mutter, die noch nichts von der Scheidung mitbekommen hat, zu Besuch kommt, spielen die beiden ihr ein glückliches Ehepaar vor. Jetzt, langsam und zögernd, stellen sie fest, wie sehr sie sich lieben und werden wieder ein Paar.

Produktion
Ich und Du wurde im Carlton-Studio an der Tulbeckstraße in München produziert. Die Außenaufnahmen entstanden vorwiegend in München (Sportschule Grünwald, Schwabing, Flughafen Riem, Salvatorkeller) sowie in Italien.
Der Film erlebte seine Uraufführung in der Bundesrepublik am 27. November 1953 in Bielefeld. Die DDR-Erstaufführung fand am 29. Oktober 1954 in Berlin-Ost statt. In der ARD wurde der Film erstmals am 1. Januar 1962 gezeigt und im 2. Programm des Fernsehen der DDR lief er am 9. Dezember 1987 zum ersten Mal.

Auszeichnungen
 Prädikat wertvoll der FBL

Kritik
Barkhoff schreibt in der Berliner Zeitung, dass der westdeutsche Film flott von Alfred Weidenmann inszeniert ist und sein Hauptdarsteller Hardy Krüger ein sehr sympathischer Darsteller wäre, der einzige, der neben seiner schwiegermütterlichen Tante bestehen kann, die von Lucie Mannheim hervorragend gespielt wird. Die Geschichte einer ganz jungen Ehe von sehr jungen Leuten wird flott erzählt. H.U. meint in der Neuen Zeit, dass Hardy Krüger, der liebenswerte Jungentyp, sich redlich mit der undankbaren Rolle des grollenden Ehemannes quält, während Liselotte Pulver abwechselnd Schmoll- und Kußmäulchen macht. Es ist ein anspruchsloses Filmchen aus Westdeutschland, simpel wie sein Titel. Das Lexikon des internationalen Films bezeichnet den Film als eine etwas handlungsarme Komödie, die diesen Mangel aber durch Realitätsnähe und witzige Dialoge wettzumachen versteht.

So many frills and so much pink!
Congrats on having such a lovely mum who got you some cute stuff off Mandarake (・∀・) The SM mugs - very sweet!
Oh, and thanks for pointing out the differences between the Ranko Figma & her prototype. I actually wanted to get her pretty bad (so much gothic frilliness ^◇^) but I might rethink that since I don't like her expression that much anymore. Still cute though! Have fun with your new stuff!!

Dr KC Health Condition Is Critical, May Need CCU Care
The health condition of Dr Govinda KC, whose fast-unto-death entered the 24th day on Monday, is said to be critical. Doctors attending him said he needs to be transferred to the coronary care unit (CCU) if his health deteriorates further.
Dr KC has been complaining of severe chest pain along with contraction of muscles due to weakness. According to Dr Bishad Dahal, the report of a blood test conducted on Monday showed deficiency of vital minerals and elements in the fasting surgeon's body.
"The blood report shows a deficiency of white blood cells and low glucose level," said Dahal, reporting deficiencies of potassium, magnesium and calcium. Loss of potassium has increased the risk of his heart ceasing to beat.
The senior orthopaedic surgeon allowed health check-up on Monday at the request of his mother Mitra Kumari KC, who had visited him at the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital on Sunday evening. Dr KC finally allowed doctors to monitor his heart from Monday morning to watch his blood pressure.
Dr KC's blood pressure was very low (85/50 mmHg) while his heartbeat was fluctuating between 55 to 75 beats per minute, according to TUTH doctors. "Heartbeat increases if there is a fall in blood pressure. But the drop in heartbeat along with the BP indicates that his physiological condition is very weak," added Dr Kamal Deep Joshi.
Dr KC had declined medical examination and aid since was brought to Kathmandu from Jumla on Thursday despite request from his supporters and doctors.
According to Dr Dahal, who has been with Dr KC since his fast in Jumla, they are worried about his deteriorating health. "There is a high chance of Dr KC being transferred to the CCU for mitigating risk on him," said Dr Dahal.
"Chances of infection are very high for which more precaution will be required," said Kishor KC, Dr KC's cousin.

'Licences are originating from so many places now'
We chat to Hachette Children's Group's licensing director Katie Price about a bumper year.
Firstly, how has the licensing arm of Hachette performed in general over the past 12 months? What have been your top sellers?
The last 12 months at Hachette Children's Books (HCG) has been a whirlwind of exciting acquisitions and I am really proud of our varied and impressive portfolio of brands. The highlights for me have been PJ Masks, The Powerpuff Girls, Pokémon and seeing the sales of My Little Pony go from strength to strength. Pokémon has obviously been a phenomenon across the board but book sales continue to be huge and we have now sold over 200K across four titles, in only six months. It doesn't show any sign of waning either which is great news. The My Little Pony Annual, My Little Pony Book and Plush and My Little Pony Creative Colouring titles all sold incredibly well in the lead up to Christmas.
What do you have coming up for the rest of 2017 in your portfolio? Are there any new acquisitions that you can tell us about?
2017 sees the launch of The Powerpuff Girls and Dinotrux in May and PJ Masks in August. We have had retailers calling us asking when they can get hold of the books which is a great position to be in – everyone is very excited about these brands.
We are also publishing a range of children's books in partnership with the National Gallery this summer. We launch with a title called Picture This which is a children's guide to the gallery. There are more announcements to come later this month.
How has the licensing strategy at Hachette changed since you came on board, Katie? How many are in the team? Are you looking to expand on this at all?
Our strategy regarding licensing is to be a top three publisher in the industry for licensed characters and to be known for our high-quality and original publishing, which we can get to market really quickly. I want to acquire a broad range of licences from a variety of sources so that we have book for every child, whatever their age, reading stage or interest.
We have recently hired a fabulous new licensing assistant called Rachael Jones, who has made a huge difference to the day-to-day running of our licensed publishing team but we are still a relatively small team – comprising of myself, Karen Lawler and Rachael. Karen focuses a lot of her time on the licensing out of our own IP, where we have some exciting film, TV and stage show deals coming through.
What do you look for in a licence?
Good storytelling is obviously extremely important from a publishing point of view, so we look for brands with strong characters, from which we can develop good stories and we want brands that stand the test of time. A good TV platform is still important, but no longer the be all and end all – the traditional acquisition model has changed and licences are now originating from so many different places. YouTubers have real influence and we have recently enjoyed working with Tiana of Toys andMe.
Do you have a target list of licences you would like to work with?
We'd like to publish more big film tie-in titles, more annuals and I'm really interested in other publishing opportunities around gaming.
Are there any categories (such as preschool, teen, etc) that you would like to expand in your portfolio?
We recently launched our new preschool and baby imprint called Pat-a-Cake which is where PJ Masks and other preschool brands will sit. We have acquired another TV brand recently, soon to be announced, but we still have space for something else.
How healthy is the licensed publishing sector in general at the moment, in your opinion?
There has been some decline in the sector overall with the likes of Frozen and Minecraft dropping off. However, PAW Patrol, Pokémon and LEGO are definitely filling the gaps. There are a lot of come-back retro brands which haven't performed as well as hoped, but it's great to see new shows taking off.
What would you most like to achieve in the licensing space by the end of 2017?
I would like to see PJ Masks give PAW Patrol a run for its money in terms of publishing, for Pokémon to continue to sell well across a wider range of formats – we have four fiction titles coming out in June – and dominate the gaming publishing space and for The Powerpuff Girl to show that they are super cute and super fierce and that our original fiction will be a big success with fans.

SettlePou secured a favorable settlement after defeating a borrower's summary judgment motion based upon Oklahoma's statute of limitations and statute of repose. In a case styled LSF9 Master Participation Trust v. Woodward, Case No. CJ-2016-01305 in the District Court of Tulsa County the trial court denied borrower's motion and in doing so implicitly recognized additional grounds of abandoning acceleration and thereby extending limitations in Oklahoma.
In this 2016 judicial foreclosure the borrower filed a motion for summary judgment pointing to the Note's 2006 maturity date as a starting point for the statute of limitations and statute of repose. Borrower relied upon Oklahoma's applicable statute of limitations and Oklahoma's general statute of repose.
SettlePou argued that borrower ignored later accelerations and a court judgment that reset the statutes. In support of its position, SettlePou raised numerous arguments of first impression in Oklahoma. The Court denied the borrower's motion for summary judgment, finding that a clear controversy existed as to the date of acceleration. Implicit in the ruling was the Court's consideration of the various issues of first impression SettlePou raised that related to abandonment of acceleration and the date the statute of limitations and statute of repose should start.

Go to Elio Motors Website
Say Hello to Elio.
Current Reservation
Elio Motors. A simple, brilliant idea.
Up to 84 MPG: Engineered to go the distance.
By using a combination of lightweight materials and a unique aerodynamic body style, the three- wheeled vehicle will weigh a targeted 1,350 lbs, roughly half of the average 2,400 pound vehicle today. Front-to-back two-person seating is the secret to the company's high fuel efficiency along with being half the width of traditional passenger cars. Therefore, the Elio moves half as much air as a traditional passenger car, and wind drag is the single biggest factor impacting fuel economy during highway driving.
Safety is top priority.
Elio is engineered to meet the highest safety standards with a Safety Management System including three airbags, a unibody frame, Anti-Lock Braking System, and 50 percent larger crush zones than similar vehicles.
Did you say a targeted $7,450* base price?
A low-cost vehicle doesn't come from one single solution. Significant cost savings are only possible when a variety of engineering and business decisions, both big and small, drive the process.
Standard features include A/C Heat, AM/FM Stereo, power windows, power door lock and auxiliary port and cruise control.
A profound effect on the economy and environment.
Elio Motors will have a significant impact on the United States' dependence on foreign oil. In just five years, Elio Motors projects that it will reduce total U.S. fuel consumption by 0.35 percent. By 2025, Elio Motors will save 3.5 billion gallons of gas and reduce CO2 emissions by 69 billion pounds.
Which means, Elio's 8-gallon tank can achieve up to 672-miles saving the average driver approximately $1,500 a year in fuel savings. So, your Elio pays for itself and plays a role in the environment.
The makings of a world-class vehicle.
It starts with world-class leadership including support of the automotive industry's top suppliers to our impressive roster of industry icons that compile our Board of Directors. Add in a 3-year/36,000 mile warranty and Pep Boys as the anticipated official service provider with over 800 locations nationwide to serve you... and you can see why over 65,000 folks have made a reservation.
Blending fuel-efficiency, torque and power.
One of the most important long-term decisions made by Paul Elio was to develop our own engine from the ground up. There's a reason Elio Motors is the first start-up vehicle manufacturer in 60 years to build its own internal combustion engine. It isn't easy!
Elio Motors has partnered with the world-class team at IAV to design an engine that meets our fuel efficiency requirements and provides the performance that our customers demand. Our new engine is a bridge to the future that relies on a traditional internal combustion engine, but delivers significantly higher fuel efficiency.
The Elio features a fuel-injected, SOHC gas-powered, 3 cyl., .9 liter, liquid-cooled engine. The engine is 55 HP with 55 LB-FT of torque, has a top speed over 100 MPH, and goes 0-60 speed in projected 10.8 seconds.
All-American pedigree.
Elio is committed to the American dream and in bringing American automotive ingenuity to every vehicle we build.
Manufacturing facility is former General Motors Hummer H3 facility in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Targeting 90% utilization of North American content.
Estimated that upwards of 1,500 direct US jobs will be created in Shreveport.
An additional 1,500 jobs from the supply base, Elio Motors corporate, as well as sales and service once full production is underway.
Plus, approximately 18,000 indirect jobs nationwide are projected to be created or sustained.
Reserve for as little as $100 and receive:
A targeted $7,450* base price.
A limited time 25% bonus.

Review: The Philanthropist, Trafalgar Studios
Published in What's on Stage on April 21, 2017
First staged in 1970, Christopher Hampton's comedy (an inverted reflection of Moliere's The Misanthrope) about a mild-mannered, people-pleasing Oxford academic gets a revival stuffed with comic actors off the telly. You can see why: this groaning period piece, directed by Simon Callow, needs all the comedic help it can get. It's not enough.
The Inbetweeners' Simon Bird plays the Philip of the title, a philologist (see what he did there) who throws a party for his colleagues. He's typecast, but then he does manage to convey all this man's nervousness in the way he holds his knees together, hands perched in a gesture as ingratiating as it is irritating.
His guests are a self-indulgent, solipsistic lot, given to out-doing each other in displays of callous sophistry. There's dark, satiric humour in this, but it often seems weirdly overblown – that the entire cabinet has been gunned down by a terrorist is a pretty extreme off-hand backdrop, yet one that's rarely alluded to.
Celia – Philip's fiancé – is an almost cruelly confident literature student, played by Charlotte Ritchie, from Fresh Meat. The model Lily Cole plays Araminta, a vacuous femme fatale in a maxi-dress who glides around lissomely, and spouts an accent posher than the Queen's. There's a woman called Liz (Lowenna Melrose), a running joke because she never says anything (hilarious!). Tom Rosenthal's indolent academic Don starts as a world-weary cynic, before leaping to the defence of socialism in the face of the unscrupulous Braham, a braying novelist who's given up being left wing "for tax reasons" and has twigged that being controversial helps sell books. This, at least, doesn't feel dated.
He's played by Matt Berry in a cerise velvet suit and full Toast of London mode, always a joy. But while individual actors nail occasional zingers, the dialogue needs to really snap and crackle if this play is going to, well, pop; here, there seem to be weird spaces between the barbs. Callow's physical blocking around Libby Watson's elegant white set is often lumpen too.
While the first half is diverting, the second becomes eye-rolling. Philip sleeps with Araminta because he didn't like to say no, and as his relationship falls apart we get a lot of naval-gazing that nonetheless remains in the same chirpy tone. He's a man who studies words, but not their meaning, so there's droll comedy in his complete inability to ever get the subtext of what others are saying – but Celia and Philip are so obviously ill-suited, it's seems only right they should break up. There's not much dramatically at stake when you're actually rooting for a couple to give up.
We're also treated to a monologue about why Araminta sleeps with every man she can. Because she enjoys it, perhaps? Oh no, my bad: because she was raped by an uncle and once locked in a room for a week by a partner. I think you need good reasons to put on plays that feature ill-thought-through speeches about sexual abuse, unquestioningly stage dated double-standards, and operate as male wish-fulfilment, all at the same time. This production fails to mount a case.
The Philanthropist was written when Hampton was only 23 – and here gets a revival that for once casts actors in their late-twenties, early-thirties, as intended. But it's not revelatory: these academics act like old fogeys who sleep about a bit. There's little in the way of parallels to the perma-youthful millennials the cast seem to have been brought in to evoke. While there is much fizzy talent here, it simply does not match up with the play.

Cyclone 'Amphan' breaks out over West Bengal, Odisha
News: Cyclone 'Amphan' has ravaged large parts of West Bengal and Odisha over the course of two days, with a death toll of at least 72 persons as of 3:50 PM on May 21 as cited by West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee.
An extremely severe cyclone packing winds of up to 190 kmph rampaged through coastal Odisha and West Bengal, dumping heavy rain, swamping homes and farmland. Communications are only now slowly getting back up.
Mamata Banerjee reported that the damage caused by the cyclone was worse than the damage caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, valuing the loss as Rs 1 lakh crore. She added that though five lakh people have been evacuated, state authorities had not entirely anticipated the ferocity of the cyclone.
She has also announced compensation of Rs 2 to 2.5 lakhs for the families of all the deceased. Over five lakh people were evacuated out of risk zone on West Bengal.
The cyclone's trajectory suggests that many Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh are at risk for high winds and rain which are likely to cause damage. This group is also highly susceptible and vulnerable to the novel coronavirus and has a number of confirmed cases.
CPI(M) has called for Cyclone Amphan to be classified as a National Disaster, and CM Banerjee is asking the Union government to "forget politics" and help the people of West Bengal and Odisha.
UPDATE: The cyclone has turned into a deep depression and moved towards the north and north-east, affecting parts of Bangladesh, with a death toll of 10 persons as of 4 PM on May 21.
