Political Echoes
Two local authors discuss their works
News by Camilla MortensenPosted on 03/14/2019
It's almost impossible to get away from politics these days. Hate him, love him or somehow merely tolerate him, but Donald Trump polarizes even the fiction we read.
Or sometimes we read polarized politics into our fiction.
Eugene Weekly recently talked to two local authors who come from different political backgrounds and who were not directly addressing Trump in their books but in whose works current politics still resonate.
Debra Gwartney, in her memoir I Am a Stranger Here Myself, writes a combination of history and memoir. Gwartney has a launch party for her book March 17 in Eugene.
Stranger melds Gwartney's memories of her childhood in the small town of Salmon and in Boise, Idaho with the real-world tale of Narcissa Whitman, a white woman settler who was killed by the Native Americans she was attempting to convert to Christianity. For Oregon Trail lovers, Whitman was the first white woman documented to have crossed the Rockies.
"I found her intriguing as a negative character," Gwartney tells EW, "feeling unsettled about my own history in the West."
But later, as she researched Whitman, who was a missionary, she came to see her as a real person.
"I disagree with so much of what she did." But she says, Whitman was a pawn, pushed by her mother and the church "with no way to understand what she was getting into."
As a result, the book reflects not only Gwartney's feelings of loving Idaho but also her feeling that she didn't fit in there either. In a family that hunted — claiming to fame being part of the killing of Idaho's last wolves before they were reintroduced — she's left-leaning and has never fired a weapon. Stranger also contains a sense of the modern-day ambiguous feeling of loving the West but seeing ourselves as interlopers.
Gwartney says she didn't name Trump in the book, as the memoir dwells on family dynamics, not politics, but she and her father had clashed about Obama in the past and now politics are even more polarized.
"Is there any common ground?" she wonders, "a way for us to stand together and remember what we love and our common experiences?"
When asked about the rawness of writing about one's own family, Gwartney says, "My code is, if I am going to write about my family and they are going to be characters in my book then I will be hardest on myself, and hold my own feet to the fire."
Meanwhile, longtime Republican politician Jack Roberts dropped by EW's offices to discuss his own work of fiction — a collection of short stories published through Amazon.com called Miracle at Pebble Beach and Other Stories.
Roberts, a former Lane County commissioner and former commissioner of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, is not doing any local events, but interest in the book was recently piqued when he posted about it on social media.
Roberts says his short stories were written before Trump was elected, but, like Gwartney's work, the book has echoes of the current political situation and unrest. The title story features a golfer who wins the U.S. Open, but his win is challenged after he thanks Jesus for his club selection — unauthorized assistance? So argues an anti-religion group, but the story, Roberts says is not about religion, it's about integrity.
Roberts' writing has a deftness honed by his time writing columns for The Oregonian and a flair for an unforeseen ending — Twilight Zone-esque, he says himself.
The other three stories in the volume are more overtly political, featuring a senator running for re-election but dealing with an anger problem, a plague in Africa that leads to the U.S. president walking, and faltering, on a line between safety and racism, and a tale of a Republican African-American man eyeing a run for president — based not on Obama, Roberts says, but former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Despite the political nature of the topics and Roberts' own stance as a moderate Republican, the volume stays away from the ideological narrowness Roberts says he seeks to avoid.
Roberts has considered expanding the last story into a novel, but has mainly concentrated on short stories, writing for his own satisfaction. Years ago, he says, he sent a short story to The Paris Review, and it was rejected. But he was told the publication was interested in his writing and would like to see more.
"Well, that's the best I'll ever get," he told himself.
To read Miracle at Pebble Beach, find it independently published and available for $3.99 at Amazon.com. Debra Gwartney's I Am a Stranger Here Myself was published in March 2019 by New Mexico Press. A book launch is 4 pm, Sunday, March 17, at the Mahonia Building, 120 Shelton McMurphey Boulevard. FREE.

The First World War: To Arms
Title The First World War: To Arms
Authors Strachan, Hew
Publisher Oxford University Press
Ninety years have passed since the outbreak of the First World War, yet as military historian Hew Strachan argues in this new book, the legacy of the "war to end all wars" is with us still. A truly global conflict from the start, the war and many of its most decisive battles were fought in or directly affected the Balkans, Africa, and the Ottoman Empire. Even more than the Second World War, the First World War continues to shape the politics and international relations of our world, especially in hot spots such as the Middle East and the Balkans. Strachan reexamines the causes, the major campaigns, and the consequences of the First World War, compressing them into a single definitive volume. Enlivened with vivid photographs, many of which have never appeared in print before, and detailed maps, The First World War re-creates this world-altering conflict both on and off the battlefield: the clash of ideologies between the colonial powers at the center of the war, the social and economic unrest that swept Europe both before and after, the military strategies employed with stunning success and tragic failure in the various theaters of war, the terms of peace and why it did not last. Drawing on material culled from many countries, Strachan offers a fresh, clear-sighted perspective on how the war not only redrew the map of the world but also set in motion the most dangerous conflicts of today.

Edward Elgar (1857-1934) originally composed this work in 1887, as a Pie Jesu, when he was an organist in the St George's Church in Worcester. Years later, in 1902, he transformed the Pie Jesu into an Ave Verum for soprano and tenor solo, mixed choir and organ. This excellent arrangement was created by Robert van Beringen and skilfully retains the wonderful atmosphere of the original composition.
Elgar wrote his Enigma Variations between 1898 and 1899. It is without a doubt Elgar's best-known large scale composition, and is dedicated to 'my friends within', as each variation is an affectionate portrayal of one of his circle of close acquaintances. The ninth variation, Nimrod, is dedicated to Augustus J. Jaeger, Elgar's publisher at Novello & Co. and also his editor and close friend. The name of the variation refers to 'the mighty hunter before the Lord' and can be found in the Book of Genesis. The name J?ger is German for hunter. Often used for solemn occasions, it is the most poignant and beautiful pieces of British music. Nimrod is recorded by the Leyland Band on the CD Crown Imperial conducted by Thomas Wyss. A soundclip of the music can be found here Item Code: TPBB-026 Duration: c.3'00"
Following the spectacular success of his Pomp & Circumstance March No. 1, which received over 100 performances in its first year, it was almost inevitable that Elgar would write a second. However, what is not commonly known is that the initial sketches for what was to become the Pomp & Circumstance March No. 2 were written first! Due to the successes of the first march, not least because it now features at every Prom concert, it is forgotten that not only did Elgar submit the manuscript for both marches to his publisher at the same time, but both marches were premi?red at the same concert and both performed a few days later at the same Promenade Concert. Item Code: TPBB-047 Duration: 5'00"
An epic Elgar melody - noble, dignified and very, very British. Playable by most standards of bands, although a great detail of control and sustain is needed to pull it off effectively.
Salute to the Victor is in traditional march form and contains, as a tribute to Victor Grieve who was a devotee of English music (in particular that of Sir Edward Elgar), a short quote from Elgar's Sea Pictures in the trio. Salute to the Victor was commissioned by Helen, Alex and James Grieve for the Golden Kangaroos (Hornsby Concert Band) from Sydney, Australia, in memory of their parents, Louise and Victor Grieve, Founder and Director.


Need a Commercial Dumpster Service in Sandstone, MN?
Commercial Dumpster Service are available* in Sandstone.
Another theme to cover when creating a rental is identifying the space where the container will dwell. Usually at the residential property the particular dumpsters will be intent on the front yard or the block. An important truth to remember is that in most regions a let is required in case a container is put on the street. Dialling the city and buying a let can take care of this, or occasionally a new permit might be secured over the rental company. The area the dumpster will be dropped off should be cleared from a hazards, which include: low lying power lines, sapling branches, walls or unleveled floor.
First, pick the correct size dumpster. The most common measurements include the 10 yard container, 30 yard container or 35 yard containers. A 10 yard container is used for most home renovation projects as well as doesn't take up too much space in your yard. The 30 yard container is used with regard to small commercial or residential projects. Some sort of 30 yard container is perfect for medium in order to large jobs. Make sure that you pick the correct size for your task. Even though you might save money by renting the smaller dumpster, you'll pay when you have to schedule several pick-ups to haul the trash apart. To be safe, you shouldn't overload your own dumpster because it can be very dangerous for that driver trucking away your own trash whether it's overloaded.
For the new recreational room you could now put in your big furniture things. Maybe you bought a new sofa couch and big screen Television. This will be heave with the new deluxe carpeting in addition to freshly coloured walls. No longer dark paneling or dingy aged carpeting to walk on.
You can still keep your charming looking farmhouse with days gone by charm. You only need to update that from time to time to really make it energy efficient and even more beautiful shopping.
There are certain companies which we pay for that seem so ordinary that it is irrelevant who we hire. Many of us figure which regardless of who we hire, the result will likely be basically the same. Those who immediately springs to mind are such things as taxi airport taxis, flower distribution, plumbers, etc. If you are accomplishing any kind of refurbishments or major yard perform, you might think garbage bin rental fees would get into that class too. Actually though, with any of those companies you can get considerably different results dependant upon who you use.
The most risky impacts of changing climate globally includes substantial temperatures, changing landscapes, fauna risk, droughts, fulfills, and thunder or wind storms and elevating heat associated diseases. An additional fact that needs to be revealed this is, the nations around the world under the hardship line are generally least accountable for the pollution generated inside the environment and they are generally the ones that are more affected by the particular pollution because they are not wealthy enough to face stubborn contrary to the natural disasters which occur globally. They are the the majority of affected suffers for the motive which they are generally least sensible. The the western world are the principal culprits for that change in the weather.
Your beautiful home may contain many things towards that you've got developed connection. Seeing 1 / 2 burnt inside the fire accumulated with the dust is very unpleasant. When you engage a dumpster for your waste disposal about rebuilding your own burnt residence, you will not only dispose the trash generally in most affordable way but also provides second living to your favourite items. Let me tell you how? If you place an order with regard to dumpster with a skilled Commercial Dumpster Service in Sandstone, MN company, they will guide you within picking the right size dumpster according to assembling your shed requirements. This particular dumpster will achieve your home in the right time specified by you. Once the trash is dumped in the dumpster, this waste will not just eventually left to the landfill; your products will be recycled within environmental welcoming manner. The loved things will obtain more beautiful look when compared with earlier.


PineBridge's all-weather, go-anywhere approach to multi-asset has won the hearts and minds of many allocators on the hunt for alpha. Investors have piled into multi-asset strategies over the past few years hoping the diversification of opportunities would help them survive market volatility. Allocators that have been successful with this approach were those that focused first on manager selection, giving veteran teams like the one at PineBridge a leg up over the competition.
PineBridge's $13.1 billion multi-asset team works closely with allocators to find custom solutions that will fill the individualized needs of pensions, endowments, and foundations, often helping their clients mature into an LDI strategy after they have reached funding goals. The multi-asset team is applauded for its ability to help fill gaps in portfolios that are otherwise left open by less comprehensive strategies.
PineBridge multi-asset solutions offer options for allocators that are looking for both core and idiosyncratic portfolios. The firm is noted for its unique offering, including global exposures that are broadly uncorrelated to markets and present opportunities for asymmetric returns.

Extreme Wealth and Inequality are responsible for collapse of Humanity
January 24, 2013 · by Luis Miranda	· in Economy, English, Special Reports.	·
Annual income of richest 100 people is enough to end global poverty four times over, says report.
By LUIS MIRANDA | THE REAL AGENDA | JANUARY 21, 2013
Like it or not, money talks and the more concentrated money and power are, the more concentrated wealth and poverty are. The issue is not whether concentration of money, resources and the decision-making process hurts the world. We have plenty of examples from the 20th century to cite in any given conversation. The question that much of the populace is not asking, but that the elites have already answered is how should the wealth move from one pocket to the other.
It is clear that the handful of families that control it all did not acquire it through legal, moral and ethical means. They have accumulated it through decades or perhaps centuries of carefully crafted monopolies. They managed to create and maintain the monopolies of every major human activity and that is how wealth trickled into their coffers for decades.
Despite knowing who are the real wealthy and how they have managed to increase their power and control over the rest of the population, 99.9% of politicians — who openly work for them — continue to act as gatekeepers, telling their represented that the rich are those earning anywhere between $250,000 and $1 million and that those supposed rich people need to pay more taxes to help beat the current economic crisis. That is how the wealthiest are carrying out the largest transfer of money from the middle class and the poor in history.
Inequality has surely grown exponentially, but just as it grew out of control, it could have also been eradicated. Poverty and inequality haven't been dealt with because the 1% never intended to do so. When talks about ending extreme wealth are held, participants must understand that extreme wealth will continue to exist as long as monopolies are the base of all development models. Those monopolies include those managed by the large corporations as well as the fewer still controlled by governments.
If extreme wealth — when properly utilized — has the potential to end world poverty four times, as the Oxfam report says, it means the world has the tool it needs to end poverty. That leads to look at how poverty can be tackled. As the report correctly points out, the key is addressing inequality, that is, helping wealth go through and to more hands.
As seen during the last decade, the elites are not willing to surrender their monopolies. In fact, they have managed to strengthened them even more, which debilitated the decision-making process at the national level. That is exactly the opposite of what is needed. Real development and real growth — the one not based on fictitious financial products and services — will only come true if countries establish a new, unprecedented way to do business. The new model must include detaching themselves from organizations and groups that handcuffed their freedom to decide their own destiny and to truly govern for their people.
Right now, corporations that work through supranational organizations dictate what policies governments must follow regarding the use of their resources. The same model is followed by international financial organizations which still dictate economic and financial policies to be followed on a global basis. The policies that gave the wealthiest they riches and power was enhanced as supposed to diluted. Under this scenario, there is no way to end poverty and to tackle inequality.
"At a global level, the top 1% (60 million people), and particularly the even more select few in the top 0.01% (600,000 individuals – there are around 1200 billionaires in the world), the last thirty years has been an incredible feeding frenzy. This is not confined to the US, or indeed to rich countries. In the UK inequality is rapidly returning to levels not seen since the time of Charles Dickens. In China the top 10% now take home nearly 60% of the income."
But inequality is even greater in poorer countries, where leaders are even more likely to accept bribes from corporations and international organizations in order to surrender power and wealth. "Globally the incomes of the top 1% have increased 60% in twenty years. The growth in income for the 0.01% has been even greater," says the Oxfam report.
Although the current global crisis presented itself as a great opportunity for governments to rethink their ways in which they manage the economy, the last decade has gone by without any significant accomplishments towards ending inequality. In fact, inequality has grown larger to a point where "luxury goods market has registered double-digit growth every year since the crisis hit. Whether it is a sports car or a super-yacht, caviar or champagne, there has never been a bigger demand for the most expensive luxuries."
Organizations like the International Monetary Fund, the entity that thrived while destroying third world nations by imposing a debt-based development model, warns about the possibility that inequality could lead to civil unrest. But the IMF doesn't issue such a warning as a call for real change regarding inequality even though one of main consequences of wealth concentration is the destruction of the economic system.
That's right. Having poverty and inequality is more expensive than having equality, but monopoly men don't care because they are not the ones who pay the bill. Countries, by accepting economic and financial models that create extreme poverty and inequality, are the ones that end up picking up the tab. If not by taxing the middle class and the poor, governments pay for interests on their debt by giving away land and resources that had otherwise created riches and growth in their nations.
"There quite simply is a limit to how many luxury yachts a person could want or own. Wages in many countries have barely risen in real terms for many years, with the majority of the gains being to capital instead. If this money were instead more evenly spread across the population then it would give more people more spending power, which in turn would drive growth and drive down inequality," said billionaire Nick Hanauer. That would still keep the 1% at the top, but it would allow the poor and the middle class to climb up leaps and bounds.
Unfortunately, most billionaires do not think like Hanauer. Even though extreme wealth in the hands of a few families depresses demand and limits or even erodes growth, which is what the globalists who make part of the 1% want. They already have everything they have and more, so it is time to stop the rest of the people from achieving the same levels of success. That would eventually represent a potential opportunity for their reign to be challenged. It is precisely from this thought where the elites produced the governance model that drove the world for the last century.
The concentration of wealth has worked pretty well for the elites, who successfully infiltrated government entities to lobby politicians and destroy republics from the inside out. Money and power corrupted the political class, that earlier in history held public office simply to manage the existing simple and effective bureaucratic framework. "In the UK the governing Conservative party receives over half its donations from the financial services industry. Capture of politics by elites is also very prevalent in developing countries, leading to policies that benefit the richest few and not the poor majority, even in democracies," confirms Oxfam's report.
But power from the elites hasn't only been used to buy politicians everywhere. It was also used to drive social divisiveness, racial wars and class warfare. The very fact that more people live in poverty and misery facilitates little or no social mobility, which ensures even more poverty and inequality while enhancing social volatility. Inequality is perhaps the most dangerous disease because it promotes violence, damages mental health, increases crime and destroys societies. That environment is exactly the place where the large corporations owned by the elites thrive the most. Destroyed, identity-lacking societies are fertile soils for insecurity, mass drugging of the people through pharmaceutical products, militarization and surveillance.
An uneven use of wealth and resources also results in the depletion of natural resources, not by the people, as globalists would have us believe, but by the large corporations that exhaust many natural reserves to produce large amounts of trinkets that serve as distractions to enslave the population while causing grave harm to the environment. Poor people or middle class folks are not to be held more responsible for environmental degradation than the oligarch class that abuses the natural resources to manufacture useless junk that no one really needs but that everyone must have. Sustainability, when not hijacked by the fake environmentalist movement that is incidentally supported by the wealthy elites, is a desirable goal as long as it does not keep third world nations from enjoying the benefits already experienced in rich countries, where the largest concentration of wealth is found.
Unequal societies ultimately become immoral. A corrupted, mentally ill population is more likely to conform and accept violence as the new normal. Take Brazil as an example. Few countries in the developing world experience such a high level of inefficiency, corruption and social conformism as Brazil does. One could say that it is in the DNA of most Brazilians and the expected result is mass degeneration.
Unfortunately, reports like the one issued by Oxfam disappoints when it comes to finding solutions to end poverty and inequality. It praises Bill Gates and Warren Buffet for 'getting rid' of their fortunes and cites their action as an example for other billionaires, as if we are not aware about the deceit behind their charitable enterprises. It also calls for massive government-sponsored socialist models to hand out free stuff to everyone who wants it. It proposes free money from government when someone is out of work, as supposed to promoting self-government and personal responsibility through savings and proper management of income at the individual level or in the family.
Towards the end, it calls for government regulations and taxation to control extreme wealth. The writers contradict themselves since earlier they pointed out that politicians in government have done nothing else than work for the elites and have been accomplices of the current extreme level of inequality. It is clear that no government has the guts to actually tax the 1% as much as they have the will to tax the middle class and the poor to death. It is hard to see how politicians that helped the wealthy get where they are, will suddenly turn against them.
Oxfam's report cites progressive taxation as the best tool to carry out a proper redistribution of wealth. Isn't that Barack Obama's dream? It is also the future envisioned by Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and the European cabal that in 2012 successfully gained complete control of the European Union. The report puts Warren Buffet on a pedestal for calling for more taxation of the rich, which really means doing what Obama just did in the United States: imposing more taxes on the middle class, not the 1%. Oxfam wants a globally agreed minimum
rate of corporation tax, which will most certainly be collected by the World Bank or a similar supranational organization with no accountability to the nation-states or the people of the world.
No, extreme inequality will not end by taxing more from anyone. In fact, less taxes results in more money collected. If anyone wants to end extreme poverty the answer is not to provide more power to those who we are all trying to run from, but by ending powerful monopolies that castrate real competition, deplete innovation, stagnate economic growth, destroy small and mid-size business everywhere and accumulate money and resources in fewer hands.

The outcome of a "robotic" process
Business Times - 04 Aug 2011 The outcome of a 'robotic' process Compromise deal on debt ceiling plays into the hands of Obama's rivals whose vision may be flawed but is consistent By LEON HADAR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT NOW that 'Watson', the artificial intelligence (AI) computer system developed by IBM, has demonstrated in the US television quiz show Jeopardy that a computer working off a database stuffed with millions of documents culled from various sources could beat a human, it might be interesting to find out whether the IBM researchers could come up with an AI computer system that could be as effective in managing bureaucratic organisations that function in the business and political arenas, including the US presidency. But then it seems that something close to a POTUS computing system already exists - and it's called 'President Barack Obama'. Indeed, if one examines the domestic and foreign policy decisions that have been made by the curren


I started my company two years ago. Back then, "headquarters" was in my basement and "staff" consisted of any friends or family I could persuade to work with me on the weekends. Back then, I was 21. Now my business has grown to a staff of three, an extensive client list and an impeccable reputation … so why is it that I'm still always worried about anyone in this industry finding out I'm only 23?
In the beginning, naivete was key. I was foolish enough to call and sheepishly ask other planners and vendors for help. To me it was like the first day of high school — if you didn't know where the cafeteria was, you just asked one of the seniors. Who's your favorite caterer? What's the best place to hold a cocktail party? Where'd you get those gorgeous votives? Sadly, the responses to most of my inquiries produced the same sense of low self-esteem that I experienced in my high school years. It was difficult to find anyone who wanted to help out the new kid. Add to it that I was visibly so much younger than many of my peers, and there was always a rush to make a snap judgment about my capabilities.
I believe that when we approach many things in life, we often turn to the defense mechanism of passing judgments based on stereotypes. I can walk prospective clients through my company's beautiful portfolio, they can book us and be in love with our work and designs, but if I let it slip that I'm younger than they are, suddenly, they're nervous. What if she can't handle it? What if her experience isn't enough? What if she wants to plan our wedding but decides to go on spring break instead? After all, isn't that what all 23-year-olds do?
I will say, I have found a way to combat this type of fear in clients — I lie. Twenty-six seems to be a pretty good age — young enough to be trendy, old enough to have gotten past all those wild years, right? I know it sounds ridiculous and drastic, but so is the alternative. So, I just keep telling them that story, and I figure eventually I'll catch up to it. Who knows, maybe once I reach that age, I'll wish I were younger and claim I'm 21.
The truth as I know it is this: While I don't have the experience of some of the 10- and 20-year veterans, I have (and I imagine my other young colleagues do as well) attributes that make up some of the difference. Being this age means I constantly have to prove myself and work harder to ensure a flawless reputation. Being this age means I'm tapped into what's new and fresh; I'm constantly looking for an innovative and singular way to redesign something you've seen a million times before. Being this age means I'm excited to be here. I haven't done 600 events yet; my ideas are still flexible, and I work hard to plan the event to fulfill my client's vision, not my own.
What I wouldn't give, though, for a little of the perspective that my seasoned contemporaries have! I imagine having more years in the business means you have a wealth of experience to draw from. Being their age means that you don't get frazzled or sweat the small stuff because you know it all turns out well in the end. Being their age means you've done 600 events, so you're prepared for whatever the day throws at you. Being their age means you've learned that there's no such thing as a mistake, only lessons for next time.
As it is, we all had to work incredibly hard to carve out our niche in this market. We all had to learn how to get clients and how to keep them. We all had to learn how to manage a staff, fill out an invoice, and work 60 hours a week just to keep up. We all had to learn that respect isn't guaranteed, forced or bought; it's earned. So I challenge you to open yourself up to the possibility that your "competitors," or those vendors who aren't yet on your "preferred" list, might be amazing allies regardless of their intimidating experience level — or shocking lack thereof.
Imagine though, the power that a combination of generations would have. Despite the wealth of information, experience, perspective, exuberance and community in the event industry, there is no attempt to capitalize on natural synergies. A new mind-set would make for a stronger, healthier industry with an infinite number of resources, friends and shoulders to cry on when the client asks for a revised design proposal for the eighth time. It would remind those veterans what it felt like in the beginning and give my generation exemplars to aspire to. Maybe this utopian community is a dream, and my young hopes are just that.
It suddenly strikes me, though, that at my age, I am still idealistic to the degree that to me, it's not "just a business." The adventure is still there, and the energy that I feel from the daily sense of discovery is still tangible. I know that in the end, the bottom line has to be black and that competition and the struggle for the top will always be pressing.
When my father, a Ph.D. in business management, heard about the point I planned to make in this article, he told me that other event professionals "will never buy it; any good businessman knows that you never help your competition." I imagine that there are a great many planners, caterers, florists, etc., who feel the same way, which I suppose is why it's good to have a 23-year-old around, to remind you that once upon a time, you were young and idealistic too!

Q: HTML/CSS how can I hide the url text which appears when i hover over a menu bar When i hover over the button on my sites menu bar a little box appears, for exmaple when i hover over Home a little box comes up saying "Home".
Is there any pure HTML/CSS way to hide this? I notice that normal sites such as stackoverflow have this turned off.
Thanks
Home

A: Remove the title attribute, change:
Home

to
Home

A: You will need to remove the title attribute as it creates a popup displaying the value given to title. You will have to remove the title attribute from where you don't want it.

Los Angeles-based startup HomeMe turned to crowdsourcing to ensure renters would have a flawless digital experience on any device.
Los Angeles-based startup HomeMe is on a mission to make the renter's life easy. More often than not, when a person views a perspective property they must fill out an application, have a background check run, receive credit approval and have references called … on each property they are interested in.
The tedious process may not even result in the renter getting the property they want. The paperwork checks out and ticks all the boxes, but then the property manager could select another candidate.
HomeMe streamlines this long-standing (and broken) process by working directly with property management companies to pre-approve renters before they visit the property. At the same time, HomeMe also offers recommendations for rental properties based on location and income, providing its customers with a refreshingly easy rental experience.
A start-up with limited resources, HomeMe needed to expand its mobile device coverage to ensure renters would receive a flawless digital experience, irrespective of device.
Watch how HomeMe's former director of QA Priyanka Halder, leverages Applause's community of 300,000+ testers to ensure its app functions as designed prior to every release.


In this profile series, we interview AI innovators on the front-lines - those who have dedicated their life's work to improving the human condition through technology advancements.
Meet Bryan Catanzaro, Vice President of Applied Deep Learning Research at NVIDIA. Coming from a B.S. in Computer Engineering, M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Brigham Young University and a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley. Catanzaro has been through the ranks, starting as an intern at NVIDIA to a research scientist and now vice president for applied research. Catanzaro has also worked alongside deep learning pioneers Adam Coates and Andrew Ng at Baidu, creating the next generation of systems for deep learning training and developing end-to-end deep learning-based speech recognition models.
In this interview, Catanzaro tells us about one of the most important conferences in the researching world and why research is important to help build out the future of AI.
Why are you looking forward to NeurIPS?
NeurIPS is one of the most important conferences for artificial intelligence. This year NeurIPS is returning to Montreal and since there's a strong presence of AI researchers in Montreal it'll be fun to meet them in their hometown. The field of artificial intelligence is moving fast. There's tons of new research that comes out every day showcasing new ideas that can change the world and have an impact on the entire economy. There's nothing more exciting for an artificial intelligence researcher than to go to NeurIPS. You'll get to see all the brilliant work coming out that will help inspire the next generation of AI.
What does NeurIPS mean for the research community?
There's a lot of interesting research in the field of artificial intelligence and deep learning, so it's exciting to go to NeurIPS and see the inventions people have created. For the researchers in the field, it's nothing more exciting than going to a conference and being surrounded by people who want to see new and advanced ideas that are going to change AI. NVIDIA cares about deep learning and AI, so being able to see what the next milestones in healthcare are will be exciting.
What can research show us about the future of AI?
Research motivates the things we do at NVIDIA. It's where we prove out new ideas and inspire ourselves on how we're going to make the world a better place through better products. The research we do is going towards the future of AI. We're building software and systems that will advance AI. Research is what informs us and help us figure out where we're going as a community. We're inspired by the work the whole AI community is doing. We try to contribute to that with our own research. We can learn from it and make better products that help everybody make progress. It's why we go to conferences like NeurIPS in order to learn from the community and see what kinds of things they're inventing. This will help figure out how we can help in the best way possible.
What's a must-see at the NeurIPS conference?
There's a new workshop hosted by NVIDIA called the AI Tech Workshop that will be a part of the NeurIPS Expo on Sunday, December 2nd. You'll have to register separately from NeurIPS, but it'll be a great opportunity to meet the rest of the AI community. At the AI Workshop, you can engage with researchers at NeurIPS and learn about the new technologies we're bringing to the AI research domain. We're going to be talking about some new projects that has been in the works to help make the process of training and deploying AI better.
Join NVIDIA at NeurIPS to explore the latest innovations in AI, deep learning, and machine learning.

Black Triangle - What Am I Suppose to Do?
I have black triangles appearing on some of my hubs. What's up with this? It tells me I have a broken link but they were working? Did they move the article? I hate to lose my work. Help!
Must I back track and recreate?
Yes, it means that at least one link you have in your hub is broken.
If you edit the hub, the link(s) that are broken will be highlighted while in Edit mode. Sometimes it means a video is broken.
Have you tried the links to see if they are still working? Although the system has caught several legitimate broken links for me, I once had it pick up a link as broken but it was working fine. I just ignored it and eventually the black arrow went away.
What does the little black triangle mean?
One of my hubs has the black triangle, something about a link being broken? What does that mean?
Hi guys for one of my hubs, I have a black triangle with a ! in it. Can someone explain that to me?It says it means that I have a broken link, but I do not know what that means.
Does anyone know how to remove the black triangle when there is NO Broken Link?

Q: wkHtmlToPdf css is not applying when generate the PDF I have a MVC application and want to generate PDF using HTML. In here I use wkHTMLtoPdf exe to do my job.
I call to an action method from client side using jquery. Then it hit to below method.
public FileContentResult ExportInvoiceASPDF(string invno)

                return null;
            }
        }

Here I execute the view. (the page which I want to export as PDF)
public ActionResult pdfCustomerInvoice(string invNo)
        {
            var inv = _customerInvoiceService.GetCustomerInvoice(invNo);

            InvoiceSummaryReportsVM invRepVM = new InvoiceSummaryReportsVM();

           //My data assigning part going here

            return View(invRepVM);
        }

Here is pdfCustomerInvoice html.

The issue is when I execute the code, it is generated the PDF without styling. (All data align to left side.)
But when I call to "pdfCustomerInvoice" method directly, the html comes properly with styling.
In here I have styling issue. Please give me a direction for fixing this problem.

+			be built using the ByteStream constructor.
+			Producer APIs themselves can implement the ReadableByteStream interface.
+			This specification defines an asynchronous API to access a ByteStream. Error conditions that may arise during reading of a ByteStream will be handled by a reject callback set to the promise returned by the read() method. An example will be illustrative.
+			The example demonstrates how to read a chunk of data from a ByteStream using read. The ByteStream may of come from a producer such as XMLHttpRequest. Additionally, it demonstrates how to read a stream until an EOF is encountered.
+			The example takes the ReadableByteStream from a producer, XMLHttpRequest, and gives to a consumer, the video tag.
+			The WritableByteStream interface provides a write() method which allows applications to write data to the data consuming API as listed in consumer.
+			The WritableByteStream interface defines a protocol for APIs that consume byte stream how to receive byte stream and notify the writer of completion of receiving and how much data it can receive currently.
+			By returning a Promise and delaying fulfillment of it, the WritableByteStream realizes flow control.
+					If <var>data</var> is a DOMString, ArrayBufferView or Blob, this method writes the specified <var>data</var> to the WritableByteStream.
+					Fulfillment or rejection of the returned Promise indicates completion of the write() method call.
+					Incomplete write() operations are queued in the WritableByteStream.
+					The returned Promise will be fulfilled with the number of bytes written to the WritableByteStream.
+					If <var>data</var> is an unsigned long long value, this method waits until the WritableByteStream becomes able to accept the specified number of bytes.
+					The returned Promise will be fulfilled with the number of bytes the WritableByteStream can accept.
+					If <var>data</var> is undefined, this method waits until the WritableByteStream becomes able to accept any non-zero amount of data.
+					This method tells the WritableByteStream that no more data will be written to it.
+					This is an irreversible operation.
+					Once close() has been called on a WritableByteStream, no more write() or close() call must be made on it.
+			The ReadableByteStream interface defines a protocol for APIs that produces byte stream how to receive a read request from the reader and output byte stream.
+			By returning a Promise and delaying fulfillment of it, the ReadableByteStream realizes asynchronous data consumption.
+					Specifies the type of data to receive data read from the ReadableByteStream by a read() method call.
+					This can be set to the empty DOMString (default), "arraybuffer", "blob", "text" or "none" to change the type of the read operation.
+					Specifies a DOMString that represents the label of an encoding [[!EncodingDetermination]].
+					If set, it will be used as part of the encoding determination used when processing a read method call.
+					If not set, it will return the empty DOMString.
+					This method reads data from the ReadableByteStream.
+					This method takes an optional <var>size</var> argument which represents the number of bytes to be read.
+					Another read() or pipe() call must not be made until the returned Promise is resolved or rejected.
+					This method transfers bytes from the ReadableByteStream to a WritableByteStream.
+					This method takes a <var>destination</var> argument and optionally a <var>size</var> argument.
+					Another read() or pipe() call must not be made until the returned Promise is fulfilled or rejected.
+					Note that fulfillment or rejection of the returned Promise doesn't necessarily mean that the data transferred to the destination Stream has been successfully read from the Stream.
+			This section introduces the ByteStream interface, as well as accompanying interfaces required as part of the ByteStream implementation.
+			This includes a constructor to build a ByteStream object, implementation of WritableByteStream and ReadableByteStream and the type attribute.
+				This interface represents a sequence of bytes which can be read only once over time.
+				Contents of a ByteStream can be stored in memory or backed by slower devices such as a hard disk.
+				It provides a type attribute which represents the type of data in the Stream.
+				A ByteStream object inherits the WritableByteStream and ReadableByteStream interface and satisfies requirements for them.
+				A ByteStream has an associated integer value called <dfn>minWindow</dfn>.
+				A ByteStream has an associated integer value called <dfn>window</dfn>.
+				This value limits the number of bytes bufferred in the ByteStream.
+				This value equals to max(pullAmount, minWindow) where <dfn>pullAmount</dfn> is sum of non-undefined size argument of pending read() and pipe() calls on this ByteStream.
+				<dfn id="write-to-stream">Writing bytes to a ByteStream</dfn> means appending the bytes to the sequence.
+				<dfn id="terminate-stream">Terminating a ByteStream</dfn> means appending a terminator to the sequence.
+				<dfn id="read-from-stream">Reading bytes from a ByteStream</dfn> pops bytes from the head of the sequence.
+				When <var>N</var> bytes of data are written to the sequence, it consumes <var>N</var> from window.
+				When <var>N</var> bytes of data are read from the sequence, it frees <var>N</var> to window.
+				A ByteStream object has an associated <dfn>pending write queue</dfn>.
+				Arguments of write() method call is queued to this queue.
+				As window becomes available, the data given to the write() is written to the sequence consuming window.
+				Once all data of the write() is written, the Promise returned for the write() is fulfilled.
+				This queue is internal, so scripts cannot access it directly.
+							Specifies the initial value of minWindow.
+								If the ByteStream has been neutered, throw an "InvalidStateError" [[!DOM4]] exception and terminate these steps.
+								If the write closed flag is set, throw an "InvalidStateError" [[!DOM4]] exception and terminate these steps.
+								Let <var>writePromise</var> be a new promise.
+								Return <var>writePromise</var>, but continue to process the steps in this algorithm.
+								If no window is available, queue the write() operation to write pending queue and wait for window becomes available.
+										Let rawData be the raw data represented by the Blob object.
+										Let rawData be the data stored in the section of the buffer described by the ArrayBuffer object that the ArrayBufferView object references.
+										Let rawData be the result of encoding data to binary data using the encoding determined by the [[!EncodingDetermination]].
+								Write rawData to the Stream.
+								If an error has occurred during the write, neuter the ByteStream, let exception be an "InvalidStateError" [[!DOM4]] exception and run Reject(writePromise, exception) as specified in the promises spec and terminate this algorithm.
+								Once all bytes are written, remove the write() from write pending queue and run Resolve(writePromise, undefined) as specified in the promises spec.
+								Implementations may delay this step if appropriate.
+						Note that completion of write() doesn't necessarily mean that the data written to the Stream has been successfully read.
+						When all data has been read from the ByteStream on which close() has been called, i.e. EOF is reached, it resolves the Promise returned by read() with a ByteStreamConsumeResult with the eof attribute set to true.

It doesn't take long to see people and things that are crying out for technology. People whose work and tasks could be made so much easier if they'd just succumb to what tech has to offer. There are those though that will refuse using 'new-fangled' devices and methods because they like the tried and true, the way things were, and the 'by hand' method. Ya know what? They're not always wrong.
Humans have a developed a very bad habit of throwing out old ways and old methods as soon as there is a new way to do something, forgetting why we even did it the old way in the first place. Some things make sense – it just makes more sense to do things in certain ways like a word processor over a type writer as an off the cuff example. Or washing clothes in a machine as opposed to by hand. The list of things tech has helped with can go on and on, and should, because it is a way that we have culturally evolved yet…there are reasons we do things 'the old way' and we are forgetting that.
Having someone pump your gas and bag your groceries was about more than just a convenient service it was about the whole experience. It gives you a bit of humanity and connection and makes it personal. Whether we looked at those positions this way or not but those people were 'experts' at what they did and they knew how to bag and how to check your fluids and top off your tank. Neither are things we can't do but these were services that kept us social and that's important. Humans are social animals and we need to be and the more tech we develop that pushes us deeper into ourselves the more we need reasons to reach out. We are cutting jobs and services and making ourselves nomads. Which is not to say that the world needs gas attendants and baggers but that we need to remember that we are cutting a LOT of these smaller jobs out completely and while those folks can work elsewhere in that system this is one less thing they can do to make a living and one less reason for us to interact. We don't NEED a lot of services but those services keep the humanity in the process.
We are tactile creatures and the memories we make come when all of our senses are engaged. We are moving towards a future where our interactions, our memories, and our entertainment will all be digital and our senses won't all be part of those moments.
There's a rush to move away from video stores and book stores and I can see why. It's easier and faster to just get something digitally now but we're losing something vital – connection. The trouble with streaming movies is that it's all done with little thought, it's all impulse and spur of the moment. 'Oh, I guess that sounds 'OK''. Sure, there are things that had targeted but most things we stream we watch because they are there and then stop watching if they don't call to us. There was something very deliberate about hitting a video store (and I mean a store since Red Box and the others aren't really the same thing) and browsing, taking in the art, reading the film synopses and really CHOOSING a film. And when you went to the video store it put you in a mindset – this is movie night. We were making time to WATCH A MOVIE. You are making a date with yourself, with your significant other, your friends, your family, with whom or whatever and you are making a date to watch something that YOU felt drawn to. And that creates a ritual and – dun DUN – MEMORIES! I still have fond memories of sitting with my family and renting movies, or of going to the video store and discovering a film for the first time. All of this can happen digitally, sure, but the ritual is different in the very least.
Ritual and discovery are also key when you talk about books. A book is a book whether it's digital or physical, same goes for music and movies and all ART but in saying that there is a difference. There is THE art of that art that is different. With a book there is a LOT of design that goes into the book – cover art, book layout, chapter layout, intro, outro, thank you, author photo, description, and so much more – that is all done with exacting deliberation which doesn't always translate to the digital form. You get the story but not the art. Then there is the book store, the chapel to the written word. It is truly a place of discovery and comfort where you can go and discover what is out there. And again, you can do that online but it's so DIFFERENT much like digital books are different. We can download a hundred digital books without a thought but how many of those will we really read? But with physical books there is more investment, in space, in time, and in cost, that it prods us to get around to it. There is comfort in the physical book because it reminds us of the intimacy of reading, of discovery, and the stories we hold so dear.
We CAN do it all digitally but we don't HAVE to.
There are stores, are services, are THINGS that we gleefully leave behind as we catapult into the future never realizing that to some degree we CAN have it both ways. Yes, things are changing; the physical medium of things is disappearing but not all of it and not all of it at once. We don't have to abandon everything. There is value in nostalgia because it means something, it IS something – it's US. It's our past. We never want to wallow in nostalgia, in the past, but you also can't act as if it was a burden and this mechanical future is all there is. The digital can be easily erased, sometimes a good thing…sometimes not so much. The physical takes deliberate action to obliterate.
What I say, what I ask is that you not forget why you love things. Not forget why you are attached to things. And don't forget that we are tactile, PRESENT beings and that it's our presence and our senses and our emotions that make us what we are and show us what we can yet be some day. The past doesn't have to be buried like a burden, it doesn't have to be exalted as a the 'good old days' but it can be cherished and appreciated for what it is, what it was, and what it still shows us about ourselves.
Not everything is sustainable. Not every business can be made to be successful. Some things we do just move beyond. But some things are worth fighting for, some things are worth building around, and some things still have an audience. The quaint term is to call anything that niche 'boutique' but the fact is that if there were well run and maintained video stores, record/music stores, book stores, full service gas stations, grocery stores, on and on, there would be people there to support it. Some things can't be saved but some can if it has the right ownership and leadership. If the people involved understand and appreciate what they have and what they can do. The obsession is to franchise, to branch out, to have a thousand stores and sure, that's where the big money CAN be but the solid money is behind a well run and maintained business that listens to the needs of the public and the desires of its clientele and adapts to best meet those needs and desires. The past is all around us, is part of us – it isn't nostalgia but is part of the fabric of Man and yet we try to ignore and deny it. We burn it to the ground thinking it will be gone forever and we can re-write history. Only every generation wants to erase the past generation and it's madness. There is a reason that re-sale and used stores are thriving – because so many of us are hurting for money and can't buy the newest, brightest, shiniest thing out there and the things of the recent past are sometimes good enough. In our quest for newness we are leaving ourselves behind.
Take that moment and think on the things that you love and loved and remember why. Remember those memories. And let's stop trying to bury the past, its businesses, its technology, its meaning, because even in the mistakes of the past there are lessons, and even in the most outdated of things there are memories waiting to be re-awakened. This is not just about sentimentality but connection and that connection is vital to carving a path to the future. And ya know what, new technology or not some things were better in the past.


According to a source, he has already moved on from 27-year-old Anat Popovsky - who he split from last week after a three year relationship, his rep confirmed to Daily - and has moved into the arms of a hot blonde model.
It is believed that she is the TV star's new love interest.
The stunner had her hand on Jonathan's shoulder as the two were followed by friends.
A source told Daily Mail at the time that they felt the relationship had not run its course.
She will be missed: Anat appeared several times on KUWTK, often joining Kim as she stopped by Dr Ourian's Epione Center in Beverly Hills.

Bad weather moves north as southern storms leave 4 dead
Posted: Feb 7, 2020 / 04:32 AM CST / Updated: Feb 7, 2020 / 04:33 AM CST
Anita Rembert was killed Wednesday night when a storm destroyed her family's trailer on Highway 43 near Demopolis. Her husband Curtis and their 3 children survived and were taken to the hospital (CBS 42)
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) – Nearly 150,000 homes and businesses in the southeastern United States were without power following a powerful storm that left at least four people dead.
The National Weather Service said early Friday that a storm system was expected to strengthen in the mid-Atlantic region, bringing snow, ice and rain north. Thursday's storm left a trail of destruction across much of the southeast.
Four storm-related deaths were confirmed in Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. Virginia's governor declared a state of emergency because of heavy rain and flooding, which left more than 500 displaced.

Virgin Galactic breaks Mach 2.4 and powers into the mesosphere

VSS Unity reached the mesosphere on its third powered flight
Virgin Galactic's manned spaceplane has hit another milestone, breaking Mach 2 as it roared into the mesosphere. With test pilots Dave Mackay and Mike "Sooch" Masucci at the controls, VSS Unity was released from the mothership VMS Eve at an altitude of 46,500 ft (14,200 m) before firing its hybrid rocket engine for 42 seconds to power it to 170,800 ft (32.3 mi, 52 km) and a speed of Mach 2.47 (1,832 mph, 2,948 km/h).
The July 26 morning flight over the Mojave Air and Space Port is the third powered flight in four months of the Unity as Virgin Galactic ramps up to eventual commercial flights to carry passengers and payloads into space on suborbital trajectories before returning to land like a glider. It's also the first flight of the experimental spaceplane to reach the lower reaches of the mesosphere – the region of the atmosphere above the stratosphere ranging from 31 to 62 mi (50 to 100 km).
According to Virgin Galactic, the mesosphere is an under-explored layer of the atmosphere that it hopes to help gather more data on by its flights. In the meantime, the onboard telemetry for the tests continue to record temperature, pressure, humidity, acoustics, thermal response, vibration, acceleration and radiation to better understand the craft and its aerodynamics. In addition, today's flight included a "passenger" in the form of a test dummy.
"It was a thrill from start to finish," Mackay said after the flight. "Unity's rocket motor performed magnificently again and Sooch pulled off a smooth landing. This was a new altitude record for both of us in the cockpit, not to mention our mannequin in the back, and the views of Earth from the black sky were magnificent."

Natalia Goncharova
NATALIA GONCHAROVA (June 4, 1881 – October 17, 1962)
was a Russian avant-garde artist, painter, costume designer, illustrator, set designer and writer. She was born in a small village south-east of Moscow in the Tula province. Young Goncharova was brought up in a highly intellectual environment of her family.
Her Great aunt was Natalia Goncharova-Pushkina, wife of the Russian poetAlexander Pushkin.
In 1891 the family moved to Moscow. In 1901 she entered Moscow Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, where she met Mikhail Larionov, who was a student of the same art school.
In 1906 Goncharova and Larionov exhibited their works at a World of Art exhibition put on by Diaghilev, and he subsequently invited the pair to exhibit in Paris at the 1906 Salon d'Automne. Goncharova's professional relationship with Diaghilev didn't end there, and in 1914, after having spent eight years developing and perfecting her artistic techniques in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, she returned to Paris to work again with Diaghilev on stage designs for his Ballets Russes.
In 1911 Goncharova became a founding member of Der Blaue Reiter group of avant-garde artists led by Wassily Kandinsky. She participated in the first show of Der Blaue Reiter in Munich. In 1912 she took part in organizing the Russian avant-garde group "Osliny Khvost" (aka.. Donkey's Tail), together with her partner, artist Mikhail Larionov. At that time she was inspired by the lectures by the Italian ideologue and founder of Futurism Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in Moscow. Marinetti's lectures about Futurism and the influence on masses of people through art, provoked Goncharova and Larionov on making their own lectures on Futurism, albeit their Russian lectures were less politically charged compared to their Italian counterpart.
Goncharova was also a graphic artist who created design and illustrations for books in the style of Futurism. In her innovative compositions, Goncharova often broke traditional forms by introducing an intricate fabric of images intertwined with music notation, letters, fragments of words and textual messages.
In 1913 Goncharova had her first and biggest "one-man" show which covered the enormous range of her talent, from her Neo-primitive works and Russian icon-inspired images, to her most modern endeavors in Cubo-Futurism and Rayonism. At that time Goncharova emerged as an important and also a highly controversial figure, often breaking social conventions as well as rigid cultural dogmas. She was among the first women in Russia who shocked the public with her casual cross-dressing, and also with her sharp comments on art and society.
Between 1922 and 1926 Goncharova created fashion designs for Marie Cuttoli's shop, Maison Myrbor on the Rue Vincent, Paris. Her richly embroidered and appliqued dress designs were strongly influenced by Russian folk art, Byzantine mosaic and her work for the Ballets Russes.
During the 1920s she played a significant role within the Ecole de Paris and continued to live and work in France until her death.
Natalia Goncharova was a major figure in early 20th century Russian art, and is now one of the most highly priced Russian artists in history. A controversial figure who scandalized Moscow with her open cohabitation with the modernist painter Mikhail Larionov, she was noted for her avant-garde art which borrowed heavily from Russian icon painting and other forms of primitive art.
1938 Goncharova became a French citizen. In 1955 she and Larionov were finally married. Goncharova died on October 17th, 1962 in Paris, France.


The primary goal of the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) investigation is to study the origin of solar variability and to characterize and understand the Sun's interior and the various components of magnetic activity. The HMI investigation is based on measurements obtained with the HMI instrument as part of the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission. HMI makes measurements of the motion of the solar photosphere to study solar oscillations and measurements of the polarization in a spectral line to study all three components of the photospheric magnetic field. HMI produces data to determine the interior sources and mechanisms of solar variability and how the physical processes inside the Sun are related to surface magnetic field and activity. It also produces data to enable estimates of the coronal magnetic field for studies of variability in the extended solar atmosphere. HMI observations will enable establishing the relationships between the internal dynamics and magnetic activity in order to understand solar variability and its effects, leading to reliable predictive capability, one of the key elements of the Living With a Star (LWS) program.
These goals address long-standing problems that can be studied by a number of immediate tasks. The description of these tasks reflects our current level of understanding and will obviously evolve in the course of the investigation.
In addition, the HMI investigation will provide sufficient computing capability to convert these raw filtergram measurements into a set of observables and derived data products that satisfy the HMI science objectives and that will be made available to all interested investigators. The primary observables (Dopplergrams, longitudinal and vector magnetograms, and continuum intensity images) will be constructed from the raw filtergrams will be made available at full resolution and cadence. Other derived products such as subsurface flow maps, far side activity maps, and coronal and solar wind models that require longer sequences of observations shall be produced and made available.

Luke's girlfriend of four months dumped him. Now he won't stop playing the piano until she takes him back.
Video by Mamamia Women's Network.
If romantic comedies have taught us anything it's that big romantic gestures are the best way to get the love of your life back, right?
Well, it would seem UK musician Luke Howard is about to find out.
The 34-year-old decided to test the theory when he was left heartbroken by a recent split from his girlfriend of four months and made his own unique public declaration of love.
Howard started playing a piano in Bristol's College Green park because he "didn't really know what else to do" on Saturday, and has vowed to play through "rain and snow" until the woman in question reaches out to him.
Luke Howard won't give up on love. (Image via Bristol Post.)
"It may sound whimsical but she completely changed my life. My entire world shifted. I know people in my situation will send flowers or text or write letters but that only ever seems to make things worse," he told Devon Live, adding the breakup was due to "just life getting in the way".
"I wanted to do something that she might see, to let her know how much I love her, that she can see it and then take it or leave it.
"I'm just going to play. I was totally devastated and didn't know what to do. The more I thought the worse it became and the only thing I could think to do was play."
Two days on and no word back as to whether the woman, whom Howard has only referred to as his "Rapunzel", has gotten in touch to tell him she wants to make it work or for him to buzz off.
And if she is watching on and wondering what the hell to do, we can totally understand her dilemma. If this were a film starring Hugh Grant, the heroine would be overjoyed, but in real life, romantic gestures seem far less well... romantic.
We're not the only ones who can't decide if the heartbroken man's stunt is sweet or creepy. Twitter users have weighed in, as social media users often do, with a few pointing out that when a woman says 'no' that needs to be respected.
This isn't dedication, it's emotional blackmail. Creepy with a sense of entitlement. She's better off without him. https://t.co/JW1x7qs5IC
